Drag the corners.

Alpha. GG. Goodbye.

You should really, REALLY think carefully about getting ARMA 2: CO for DayZ. Or even trying DayZ if you have it already. Read the two links in my signature, under the image. Then I'd like to let you know that most of the mod's servers are infested with hackers that will turn you into various animals, break your legs, run around invisible, teleport you into air, shoot you across the map, and so on.

Hackers are hackers, whether they help you or not. BattleEye will ban them if it gets a chance, and Rocket isn't going to shake his hand for this. It's nice that he did help you, but he's still hacking.

I suggest you re-read the quotes in my post. I'm sure you saw it. Are you too afraid or even unable to put up an argument to it?

1. GG, spamming the forums. Enjoy your warning points once they get to you. 2. Most people who heard about DayZ through bandwagoning most likely bought ARMA 2 and ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead just to play DayZ. That's quite a bit of money already, so Im pretty sure people are able to afford it even when it goes standalone. 3. Read the two links in my signature. Maybe you'll be a little wiser. "It is the kind of system/environment that will sometimes make you want to punch the computer screen. But with that kind of risk, comes great emotional reward when you carry something off. The sniper you describe - there are people like this in the world, and in the breakdown of order I can bet that there would be people who would sit on a roof and shoot people "just for the lulz"." -Rocket "I hear what everyone is saying, and yes - its cruel and unsporting when you get killed 10 seconds into the game. But that's what this is, it is brutal, it is cruel. This is not fair. Maybe you will hate this game. Maybe you already do. It is an unforgiving environment with no structure. It is up to you to decide what to do next. I would rather let the project die (and maybe it will, I accept that) than take over the role of establishing rules and punishments and structure. Instead I am going to work on the world's framework. It is up to the inhabitants of that world, you guys, to decide what kind of world you want it to be. Is this actually possible? Fuck knows. But I really want to find out, and I've got nothing at all to loose. And to be honest, neither have you because you haven't paid me a cent and I haven't been paid a single cent for any of this." -Rocket

Never hosted a server / used RCON, but I believe you can see any and all chat messages through the RCON interface. So as long as they say something in any channel, you'll see it in the chat area.

Isn't this obvious? That it's a server-side problem?

Dupe, trade, hunt for hackers (It's possible as long as you're not spawned into air.), camp Cherno/Elektro/Stary Sobor, form ambushes around random roads, etc.

Exactly what Dusty said. The Hive saves your character every 60 seconds.

This. I had the auto-fire problem once, and ever since I've "paused" the game before alt-tabbing.

You are correct. Hackers aren't using any third party "hack programs" to hack. Nor do they use injected bypassers.

Honestly, I personally would love if that happened. I'm not posting this to troll you. I'm serious.

1. All of that already exists in the singleplayer. It's definitely not too much for a game. 2. It's a MILITARY SIMULATOR.

Let's clear two things out. VAC = Valve Anti-Cheat It's an anti-cheat system, like BattleEye. If you get VAC banned, you are unable to connect to VAC servers of that game and any games made on the same engine. (Example: You get banned in Counter-Strike: Source. You're VAC banned from CS:S, DoD:S, HL2, HL2:DM, and any mods to those games.) But you can play CS 1.6 and Garry's Mod or CoD freely, even on the VAC servers. Valve = The people behind Steam and VAC. These guys are the ones who can shut down your entire account, and deny access to any and all games you've bought.

I'm quite sure VAC is not able to ban you from your games "entirely."

Edit; Actually wind does exist, forgot about that. I have no idea why it isn't in DayZ. Probably to reduce lag. Edit2; Wind is only simulated in Singleplayer. It doesn't seem to appear in multiplayer at all. So nevermind my first edit.

Funny thing is that people can connect to your server before BattleEye is even supposed to start up. BattleEye doesn't do a thing if you sit in the lobby. It only initializes after you click OK in the lobby, and even then, I believe you need to load in first. Edit; Then again, I've never hosted a server, there might be things I don't know about..

The only "frustration" coming from me is because of you not understanding that there is nothing the developers can do about hackers. They did not create BattleEye, nor did they even choose BattleEye to be their anti-cheat system. It was the only option, because DayZ is an addon to an already-existing game. You can come back and tell me "I'm making the devs more aware." after the game goes standalone and hackers start rampaging on that as well. Then you have a valid point and I would support your thread.

Trust me. Rocket knows very well that hacking is a huge problem in DayZ. But want to know a fun fact? I'm sure you do. DayZ is NOT a GAME. Rocket did NOT MAKE the anti-cheat system that is known as BattleEye. DayZ is a mod to a game called ARMA 2. What is ARMA 2? It's a military simulator that was meant to be highly moddable, so people could make their own missions/campaings/mods. And how do you make these missions/addons/whatever? With scripts. What do hackers use? Scripts. Why doesn't BattleEye ban these people? Because there are so many loopholes in ARMA 2 that you can use to execute scripts without BattleEye noticing. We know this. Rocket -- the developer -- nows this. And you apparently don't know this. You are not helping. This forum is filled with about 5-15 threads a day about people getting killed by hackers. And that excludes the amount of people posting "hacker in server X" -threads. Think about that. We know hackers are a problem.

Is this a good enough reason to make a thread? Don't ever post on these forums again.

Actually you can carry two primary weapons and a side-arm with plenty of ammo for all guns. Though you'll be needing a Coyote backpack to carry enough food/water/med. supplies to live.

Trust me. I have had my fun with AS50 TWS'es pre-1.7.1.5, when they were still a legitimate part of the game. I am not jelly at all. I know how godly they are. But I still doubt everything.

Hey, look! Another kid who joined DayZ because of all the bandwagoning and has no idea what greatly inspired DayZ in the first place. Edit; Want me to explain?
