Dear Bohemia, You have a problem with hackers on your official servers and they have ruined the game. You know about it; you have deleted my criticisms in the past. Instead of plugging up your ears and sticking your arrogant head in the air, why don't you save face and take the first step in remedying the problem: acknowledging it exists. You can do that, can't you? You're not so irresponsible and immature as to ignore this festering cancer eating away at your player base, aren't you? Here's a duper that accidently killed himself while raiding our base last night. His entire inventory was 7.62 x 39mm. There's not that much ammo in hardcore servers. So anyway, the idiot killed himself with a grenade and got really, really mad. He got his mates on and they destroyed every barrel, tent, and fence to our 8-man team massive base. Anytime we logged in or came back they magic-bullet killed us. That was yesterday. Today they found our 2nd base and raided it the same way. They were so angry that they killed EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON YOUR PUBLIC SERVER over and over. They wiped the server out and finished wrecking our heavily fortified base, again. This is so much fun! You have created a griefer paradise and they're immune to any retribution. Thanks, Bohemia. You guys are a class act.

I have two accounts and over 5,000 hours played. I used to love this game but hackers have ruined it for me; they're out of control. Sir Dupesalot This is what a duper looks like. It's actually quite funny, the duper was destroying our base and killed himself with his own grenade. They're not very smart. You don't have to be very smart to outwit the Bohemia developers.

FIX HACKERS! You don't know how many people will not buy this game because it's RIDDLED WITH HACKERS.

The cheating in this game is the worst I've seen in any game and I've been around a very long time. My friend contacted Bohemia and they said "it's not us, contact BattleEye." It's your game, Bohemia. It's your responsibility to secure it, not pass the buck to a company that's incompetent to stop any of these hackers. This is on you. I cannot recommend this game to my friends until this gets fixed. It's changed the culture so much that if you are around any of the big cities or military bases you know a magic bullet is going to be fired and find your head even through walls. Take two hours to get geared and run to Tizy and you are hiding inside a shipping container and hear a shot from nearly 2km away and it finds your head magically. People ask how you know they're hacking? They run faster than cars move at 160 KMPH. They brag they can spot all your items through walls and in crates from outside your base and name them all. They can shoot a shot into the air from 2km away and it will kill you, regardless if they're aiming at you. So in essence, you can see them speed hack, wall hack, and aim hack. These hackers run into cities and just start firing until everyone is dead. I didn't believe it at first but after seeing them zip around and being killed impossibly I looked it up. These hacks are for sale and boast all these capabilities and more. This is all bad, but what's worse is you don't know who the hacker is to report because the game doesn't tell you who you're looking at as they zip around at 200 KMPH. The game doesn't tell you who shot you while you were hiding inside a hallway of a house with no access to you. It doesn't tell you who's even talking since everybody is called "survivor" with very few exceptions. Bohemia you are at fault. This game is ruined by your ineptitude to solve this most basic security issue.

No, the hackers are still very active on public servers. I was killed by one two days ago on DayZ US 3664323 (Public) and again just an hour ago on Dayz US - LA 5933 (Persistence ON). I have two accounts and over 1500 hours played and have run into hackers in the past very rarely.. but they've never been worse than 2020. The hackers come on servers that are med to high population because.... how are you going to identify them to report them? Bohemia thinks you can go into their profile and guess if they're a hacker and report them for review. What are we supposed to do, report 40 people so you can catch the one that is hacking that night, maybe? What a joke! I ran my own server for a while and it's nice to be able to read logs and ban hackers... but it's hard to keep the server population up so it gets boring. Bohemia, give us a report of who killed us and a replay to send in for review. You could fix the most egregious hacker violations with this change alone! This new group of hackers are going into towns and killing everybody within 2 KM, scooping up the loot and server hopping to do it again. The game is unplayable in it's current state.

There is no reason to not know the username of the person who kills you. Steam has this with Counter Strike for what, 15 years now? It wasn't a problem for them. This little fix would make it possible to report hackers effectively saving this game from it's steady demise.

This game is utterly broken. You spend 6 hours getting geared and another 2 weeks building a perfect base, and along comes a hacker to take it all away instantly. Last night, three of us are defending our base and are in 3 positions, two of us in rooms that have no windows and the doors closed and all 3 of us drop dead at the same moment with our heads exploding and no sound of a gun shot. There was literally no way to access 2 of us without opening doors (the bathroom is one of these rooms.) We fought these guys off for 15 minutes, killed one, then they got all upset and turned on their hacks and instantly killed all 3 of us. This could be fixed by putting in kill replay and by reporting who killed you so when you are reporting the hacker you can identify them. This would take a mediocre programmer 2 days to bang out. Bohemia is utterly inept.

What a great update. This is like putting make up on a corpse. The game is in late stage cancer hospice due to HACKERS BEING ON ALL PUBLIC SERVERS and you guys are making these cute little non-impressive changes. Hackers have ruined the game. Two of my mates and myself instantly killed in Cherno, all of us in 3 different rooms with no visible access to us, headshot with some aimhacker who was raiding our base. If Bohemia wanted to, they could fix this problem with hackers quite easily. The hackers get away with it because there's no replay of the kill and there's no ID of the person who killed you. Counter Strike put this kind of replay into their game 15 years ago and it's great for reporting hackers. Dayz hasn't figured this out yet. Hackers can just turn on the hacks and headshot everybody and they never get caught because how do you know who to report when this happens? You have no information to send to Battleye or Bohemia. Bohemia, I have brought this up and others have many times and instead of fixing the problem you censor those who are trying to save your game. You're incompetent.

My best mate from Australia joins my server and within 2 minutes a speed-hacker runs up to him at 100 kmh and kills him. I've had it. Hackers on my server this week have found every stash me and my mates have placed, our hidden cars, weeks of work gone in 2 days flat. And today this speed hacker is just running up and down the coast at faster than car speeds and instant killing people. I looked it up, they have ESP (can see where players, loot, cars are hidden), Speed Hacks, they can see everything! They can instant kill you. This is a joke. Who wants to play under these conditions??? And when I bring it up to Bohemia the first time they tell my mates "Talk to BattleEye". The second time they give me a warning and a bad mark on the forums and reprimand for what, exposing the truth? INSTEAD OF PASSING OUT REPRIMANDS WHY DON'T YOU ADDRESS THE HACKER ISSUE! It's not BattleEye's fault, if they're failing FIRE THEM AND GET A REAL ANTI-CHEAT SYSTEM. Your game is broken. I am getting a refund and if you block that, small claims and you can pay me for my legal trouble.

It's ok to be skeptical. Just go to the coast, Balota, Cherno, Elektro and hang out for 15 minutes on public servers. When you see people run 200kmph you'll know. They can see cars from very far away through everything. You have a base in Cherno with an M4? They can see it through walls. They can shoot through them. Often I am hiding in buildings with no window access and die to shots I can't even hear and then my mate dies next. One hacker was particularly bad, I hit him with a shovel and he ran away from me in Cherno and 30 seconds later was in Elektro (same outfit, guille with m4) and shot my friend. Server 1059 is full of them. They usually have numbered accounts instead of names and multiple bans on record (if they have bans why are they still playing the game? Is there a BattleEye probation program?) There are many hacks out there, this is what they can see. BattleEye is 100% useless. Note from Moderator: Removed picture of cheat-interface
