SAMEzies!

LOLOL FLAMES EVERRYYYWHERE. Thanks for the help, really appreciate it.

After a friend and I recently downloaded and installed the lastest Arma beta patch 94876. As soon as we launched the game we both started to experience issues. First off, there were less than 5 servers running 94876, as most servers were on 94444. We tried to join many 94444 servers, but they were all red X'd out, and neither of us were about to connect to one. Upon joining US133, my friend was promted to choose a gender; his charater had been lost and reset. However, when I spawned, I had all my gear. I noticed that there was a tent right beside where I spawned in, so I decided to loot it. Upon leaving the tent, I heard a gun reload. I quickly looked at all my surroundings, freaking out that the owner of the tent had caught me stealing their items. Nothing could be seen in any direction.I thought that I might have accidentially hit "R". Then I heard reloading again (without shots). Then, 2 seconds later, my character had a broken bone and I was dead in another 2 seconds. So the what I am wondering is: Did someone actually shoot me? Why did I only hear reloading? Was the character next to me the whole time, just invisible? ... And finially: Why are those who install the lastest beta patch 94876 not able to join 94444 servers? I thought all beta patches were backwards compatable; all have been able to run previous versions up with the exception of this last update. Any thoughts / imput would be greatly appreciated.

The original post http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=27574 Myself and friends were on NY7, and all got hacked; inventories and weapons removed except contents of backpack. Weapons replaced with a "Horn" that can be sounded through mouse 1, and turned on and off through hitting 'F'. Problem still occurs when on other servers.

RELEVANT: Friends and I just lost all inventory on NY7 http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=27574

This is a serious issue. If all of my friends who were in the server at the exact same time have the same issue, then that must mean the other 45 people in the server at the time have this issue. Hundreds of items were lost... and replaced with a frickin' HORN.

15 Minutes ago myself and 4 friends were playing on NY7 when all of a sudden, we lost all of our inventory (all items both in primary and secondary slots including weapons). This was replaced with a "Horn" that sounds when clicking the left mouse button. It is able to be turned off and back on again by hitting 'F'. Although our immediate inventories were cleared, we still had our backpacks, and all the items in them. In addition, one of my friends was in Electro, and he said that airplanes were raining down from the skies, crashing into the city. The server was almost full with close to 50 players, and was without a doubt an ideal place to prank a large group of players. We changed servers twice, only to find that we still have our horn. So my question is: what can be done about this? A friend heard that people are getting banned from servers for having illegal items, and although the horn isn't something that is removable from the inventory, will having this horn be worthy of punishment in a server admin's eyes? Is there anyway to remove this item without killing our characters? Is this permanent? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
