My advice: Just wait an hour or switch servers. After some time the cheater will get bored. Then respawn and enjoy the excitement of a new start. I have to say, that when I am full equipped I'm sometimes happy when a cheater kills me, so I can restart. 😉 I still fail to understand why cheaters exist in DayZ. They don't gain anything from it and they don't even see their victim suffering. They even pay for ruining the game for others, and for themselves as well! If you cheat yourself all the best equipment, what will you do? Then the game is over. Unbelievably stupid kiddies...

I'm not sure when it started. Maybe since the new Nitrado servers have been introduced? Especially at prime time most official servers show a yellow or red server-load icon on the left side of the screen and the all player movements are extremely laggy. Anybody knows the reason for it? Is it being addressed by Bomemia or Nitrado? I play DayZ since 1.0 (offical servers only), but cannot remember a time where lags happened so frequently as these days (speaking about EU official servers).

DayZ was officially sold for Windows 7. I bought it four years ago for Windows 7. Now they break the product I payed for and tell me they won't fix it. I wonder if this is legal? It was a stupid move at least. And completely unnecessary. Now they get the shitstorm, which otherwise would be directed to Steam.

Exactly. There is absolutely no reason DayZ couldn't run on Windows 7 for the rest of its life! And yes, it would have been nice to announce the termination of Windows 7 support in DayZ before. I knew that Steam drops support at the end of the year, but I really hoped I could play for some more weeks... 😒 As Microsoft's plans with Windows are obviously going into the direction of SaaS and Windows365 crap I really hope that game publishers will finally wake up and switch to a friendlier gaming platform (like an open source OS).
