I have seen numerous posts on the forums from admins/players , Complaining about hackers. Now whilst I know that some people do not have access to their own server files, I would urge you to consider hosting it yourself, rather than paying a company to do it for you. I will a few pro's and cons to each. Pro's of having it hosted elsewhere: Its 100% managed hosting It can SOMETIMES (will explain in a bit) be cheaper depending on your country. Usually the company have great support. Con's You have no access to the server files You get updated when the hosting company gets around to it, Whilst it is 100% managed, You have about 5% control UK105 hosts a consistent 40 Players. In the past month we have had 1 hacker, and that hole has been plugged. AND to top it off, We keep hackers at bay, By enabling a few simple scripts, having some external programs (BEC, RCon, BattlEye, Live GUID Checking) And some restrictions as well, If there is a signature check file that failed on a player, why risk it? We just don't let them in (This has about a 10% false alarm rate, The player only has to try and log in again and it always works), If a GUID does not verify, We dont let them in. We keep our server running fast with 3 scheduled restarts a day, that have warning timers for players in world. And we support our players VIA email all the time. We have issued 1 Ban for that 1 Hacker. we ALWAYS keep battle eye up to date, and we know 80% of the community use a launcher of some kind or another, so we always keep up to date with the same version as everyone else, minimising the downtime! I honestly cannot believe, that If we can reduce the amount of hackers to pretty much none on our server, that other admin's cannot do the same. Yes there are about 2% of hacks out there that bypass battle eye completely, but its nothing that can do some of the stuff I am seeing on here (Spawning all players to x, Removing all weapons from x, spawning vehicles that should not exist). We research all hacks available, Every good security guard/programmer/whatever knows that if you want to defend against attacks, you need to know what your going up against, we actively search for those hacks that can effect us, and then look for a way to block that hole. Sorry for the WOT, But I just had to get my 2 penny's out there, I simply cannot believe that some people are being hacked every day, every hour, and yet we are not! [Edit] Please note, we are not saying we are an un-hackable server that has defended everything and are the best, This is not the case as some people are trying to make out, No company in the world can defend from every attack and neither can we. We simple are trying to help all server admins defend their servers the best they can with the tools that are available, to those who want to listen, As stated if and admins want help/advise, we are more than happy to help.

I'm in!

Can also confirm, But had this issue with tents and vehicle inventory not saving has been arround since 1.7.2.4 for me.

We find that if we dont hard reset the server (Close the exe) , and just use the #restart command, it will not spawn vehicles. Solution: Hard reset server.

I copied my key from the registry from my Home PC for my server :) Worked a charm

Delta is our sworn enemy! (And it was 100% hilarious last night when the heli crashed, and killed 7 deltas!

Not just that, Make sure battle eye is enabled, If it is not you will get that message also :)

If you are talking about on that island, "Tent City" yes we have tried to destroy it many times. And nope Dreekje is not ours, You can tell its us because if you look at us in the player menue we all have the DayZUK squad logo :)

Swearing and curing is not going to help you gain any sort of respect on the forums, and most certainly wont make the dev's move any faster at fixing things. As stated its a bug, your an alpha tester, wait for the patch...

As an admin of 105, I can confirm that 1, Was not our camp :), And 2, We have had the same issue taking down a certain camp in the server, We also have 2 support tickets pending with the DayZ Dev team as we have issues with stuff like heli not saving position, and other saving issues, Once we get a reply we will put out an announcement on the 105 web page dayzmod.co.uk, As stated though it all came about after the last hotfix.

Also try V, Lots of times

Yes, Servers can be set to 3rd person on or off,

Ignore this.

Regardless of what happens, This is turning into a pissing contest when that was not the intent, This is purely to help other admins Protect their servers, Were not invincible, we cant defend against 100% of attacks, No company in the world can, But we are doing the best we can with the tools available, and making public the information to those who want to listen.

Well the frequent attacks we had after posting this , that were rejected seems to state that if you set up the security right, you can avoid most attacks

Read their TOS, If you are found guilty you will not receive a reply.

you should post this in the server report area, not general :)

You would need to contact altitude through their support system to see if they can help you resolve the issue, It could be a number of things but only they can check.

Dont complain about global ban's here, It has nothing to do with the DayZ Mod, If you feel you were unjustly banned, Contact battle eye directly.

Are you hosting the server, or is it through one of the 3rd party vendors?

Open a support ticket, don't rage on the forums they wont read it......

BEC itself has a small amount of detection built in, And so far has not failed us, All I would say to anyone is try it, and see for yourself. Using the methods described in my post we have been able to almost eliminate hackers, We still get the odd one or two a month, but nothing that effects game play.

The Live GUID checker (The most usefull tool of them all) Is part of BEC, In the BEC config file there is an optional parameter. http://ibattle.org/install-and-configure/configure/ # Optional [Reporter] User = username Password = password In order to get a username and password you need to use the contact address at ibattle.org. And request a username and password, You will receive a link to a registration page, and its easy from there. Just for those would could not find it. This by far has been one of the turning points in our fight against hackers.

Exactally, And not just that, For about £30 a month, you can actually set up a 6 core , 6GB VPS , This is currently how we host our second server, And its running just as stable as our Dedicated with 40 players. So that is why I state that there is cheaper alternatives, You just have to choose the right VPS provider, We used 123-reg for the UK, Completely configurable VPS. That is reliable and runs a DayZ server very well. Also We dident make this post to blow our own horn, We simple wanted to tell people how we have been running our server, Any Admins that want any advise can feel free to I'm me and I will be more than happy to help!

Lol, I think not. There are 3 clans on our server that constantly keep us updated. Plus we were playing last night, So unless you have some proof, stop trolling.
