Arma2 - one separate game, has price Arma2 Operation Arrowhead - one separate game, has price Arma2 Combined operations - is the combination of these two games (can be bought as one game, or you can install OA over Arma2, same effect) DayZ - is a mod for Combined Ops and is free. But DayZ will go standalone separate game with price by the end of the year or later, but it will become a standalone game for sure.

Justified and Immoral. I understand that this game is a brutal surviving simulator. If you defend yourself or you save yourself from death because you starve... Well, it's justified. You chose your life. But it is immoral, because killing is immoral and this game is showing the immoral essence of human nature when pressed to the limits. P.s. If you went to the airfield you're already dead, immoral and justified. Everyone knows it and it's silly to hope to survive there. It's not airfield, it's battlefield. When going to war you must accept the fact, that you can be killed. If you don't go to airfield, you have all chances to survive for months. ;)

Reocket told he is working on the next version of the game with ALT+F4 exploit fix attempt. And I think it's not about dealing with it before quitting, but rather be easier to "punish" after next login. Let's wait and see.

I'd never suicide in real life... You know what I mean. :) Wish you all the good luck. P.s. I'd like to help you out, but I'll be ingame only in an hour or later. If you still need help, send me PM.

Your issue was updated at dev-heaven.net https://dev-heaven.net/issues/38235 Please, provide log files.

SickBoy told me on Skype:

Your issue was reported to Six Launcher development team. You can track updates and answers to your issue at dev-heaven.net - https://dev-heaven.net/issues/38235

Download Six Launcher http://www.six-updater.net/p/download.html And be happy. It's single button simple.

Be attentive. The most usual hint about server being smashed by a hacker is that you see numerous death notifications. People start dying in alphabetical order. Once you see this - hit ESC and then ALT+F4 as quick as you can. I'd suggest you name being started with some not A or B letter :) It's silly, I know, but if you name you player with some 15th letter in alphabet then it's half as safer for you to escape a hacker.

Cyrillic characters are fully supported by Arma engine. It will never show blank or distorted. 100% sure, I use cyrillic squad url prefix and name in Russian for many years without problems. But I guess some other special characters can be treated by engine as legit though are not visible in the interface. This problem must be addressed by devs somehow. Blank names are delibirate, that's for sure.

May be you can write some mod for this forum engine, which prevents posting definite content? I see hackers usually post one and the same (or slightly modified) post all the time. If only you could copypaste this post in some kind of filter so that new topic with such content won't be published. As an alternative, make topic of newest users be shown only after approval by moderators. If one topic approved - user can post without limits. One more thing, as a mod, some kind of filter can check whether author has already created topic with same content. This will prevent crossposting in forums and will prevent hack-spammers from posting one topic again and again many times.

Id suggest you guys don't report topics, go further to author profile and press "report profile" instead at the lower right corner. Moderator will ban him much quicker ;)

You must write a script which scans map for a particular model, e.g. deerstand or fuel tank, and export it's coordinates (to clipboard for example). Run this scrip in Editor on Chernarus map. To learn all the weapons features you need to unpack weapons.pbo in DayZ mod folder and study\parse the config files. They contain all the tune up for guns.

Make your own server, or get to one where you know admin well. Call this little bastard to this server. Take logs from the server. Write down his Arma ID, and his IP. Ban him, report him to DayZ, to BIS and BattleEye if possible. Wish you good luck.

Thank you sir. Thank you for your not disconnecting from the battle! I'm proud you are among us, you play DayZ fair. Thank you again. Sad but very good story. Take my beans. I would reward you more If I could. Have my respect. Helping others (which remain anonymous) is a great risk. It's very good of you to take it. I hope you would find more reliable friends and be more cautious with helping others. Good luck and take care.

1) marik, not every user must be totally aware of what content is legit on the official server or not. He can't know dayzwiki by heart. And DayZ wiki sometimes is not reflecting the whole content. It's not official. User enters game, interacts with what he finds there, ingame = legit for common user. It's the headache of developers to preven this. If users get banned for finding a hacked item, which they are not obliged to know it's hacked, then we're in big trouble. In all other games you have all the speedhacks, aimbots, wallhacks etc. But no game gives ability for hacker to inject non-legit content. That's what DayZ team must adress. But this all makes sense only if this particular user was really banned for using a ahcked plane, and was innocent. If he's not. Forget what I just said :) 2) Rocket told that users are not banned for using hacked content. They are banned for using hacks and scripts. If this user used scripts or hacks before and wren't banned and now he tried a hacked jet - then BattleEye looked up his record, found another violation and banned him. I suspect that's what had happened. 3) If you are honest and never used hacks, then you must write to tech support at Bohemia Interactive. Write to DayZ support and struggle for the truth. If you used hacks previously... Well, good luck and bye, that's what you deserve.

Can anyone tell how much time does it itake for a pile of items to get deleted on the server after I dropped them on the ground? Let's say, I need to leave some gear for my buddy. I leave it, let's say under that bush near that road at Mogilevka. How much time does he have to pick it up? Thanks in advance. UPD: Thank you guyz! It seems that a loot pile disappears: 1) after server restart 2) if you go too far from your pile 3) if you die (deleted approx. 15 min before owners body disappeared) Loot pile is not disappearing for a long time (confirmed 6 hours) if: 1) items owner is somwhere near 2) items owner logged off somewhere near 3) (unconfirmed) another player is nearby the pile

I think you can find this thread useful.

Strange to see you using phrase "not legit" when talking about one of the coolest features of Arma2 engine - the autogenerated unlimited terrain beyond game-designed\pupulated areas. It's legit, even if people hide their vehicles and tent there. It's native arma feature. UPD: I guess I just got your point. You want to know where your tents are safe to place? Sry, haven't tried.

There's a massive uprage of hackers at the moment. I think there is a risk of global DayZ lockdown until this fixed. May be this will be a wise decision. Let's wait for Rocket :(

Sadly, but I must admit that Rocket needs serious help from BIS or elsewhere asap. Rocket must have a good team of developers and PR team to quicken thing up. It's time to hire and enhance DayZ development. Every effort will be paid off later. DayZ has enormous fan count. The next and better standalone DayZ must and will be revolutioanry and invincible, and the sooner the better, because WarZ, WeekZ, FightZ, ShitZ, CrapZ, BullshitZ and others will feast upon DayZ success by FAST releases of BAD content of distorted DayZ concepts.

It's beta issue I think. New beta breaks something. Alread there was similar topic today.

Inventory system will be addressed. Rocket told that he is not liking current arma inventory system and is willing to rewrite it from scratch to make it more intuitive and immersive.

TheC1aw, keep patience, mate. Be strong. We'll survive this. Rocket is disturbed by hacking and fully aware of this problem. They are preparing something, some solution, I know. Have you noticed Rocket is silent on forums for about two weeks. No updates, nothing. this means the only thing - he is working his ass off to make DayZ better. Just wait for some huge update or at least announcement of something big. Another point here, DayZ is going to be standalone game by the end of the Year and hackers afre f****d up. Know why? Because now ingame scripts are not binarzied and hackers just inject their own scripts to the open memory. They need pointers to player entity to hack DayZ. Every beta patch the entity pointer changes and they need to find it again. If rocket gets access to the game engine for standalone game, he would binarize the core DayZ code and this foolish inject will be waaay more difficult. Patience. Hope. And we'll survive.

Your issue is resolved. See details here https://dev-heaven.net/issues/37756#note-1
