Not sure if someone has mentioned this yet, but Rocket has already devised a fix for this. The main server logs the times of connects and disconnects, and when it sees too many within a short span of time, it will warn a player; if it continues to detect this it will kill the player. Depending on what the span of time is and how many disconnects and reconnects it takes to trigger the insta-death, this should help against server hoppers as well. A pretty brilliant solution IMO

Fairly certain you were on a Recruit level server

Personally, I became a bandit because I've been shot in the back way too many times by people i've helped. Even before that conversations were way too tense for my likings. Now I kill everyone because they might kill me, much easier philosophy; saves time and deaths. Bolded, I literally laughed out loud. Your avatar made it soo much better too.

No it wasn't an admin, admins cannot kill anybody; nor can they spawn in loot. You probably got killed by a player, i've had deaths from players where I couldn't hear their shots. Usually they were very close to where I was, I'm guessing that guy you shot had a friend nearby or someone else was attracted by your ruckus.

Not a bug, you are infected. Your blood will keep draining until it is under 6k(I think that's what it was changed to in a previous patch, if not 10k) or until you cure it. Antibiotics are the only thing that cure an infection, heat packs are for prevention.

admins cannot kill players, you encountered a hacker

Admins can't kill people, hackers are the ones who do it. Someone even said it in the chat box

There are a couple of problems with the OP's argument. 1. There was no lock on the server in the picture(http://i.imgur.com/TnZSX.png if you don't want to look for it) where he stated there was one. If you look at the far right near the flag there is a small section where it will show a lock if the server is actually locked. The OP's picture lacks one of these, therefore the server was not locked. If he had tried to connect and failed, the other guy was likely trying the same thing as the OP and was stuck at a black "Loading" screen. 2. The OP did not check to see who was actually logged into the server. If you launch Arma 2 and look up a server using the "filter" option in the multiplayer menu, it will tell you who is on a server when you select it. A screenshot of this would have been more useful to his argument. 3. Tents and cars normally despawn after server crashes. I cannot recall the reason why, but I know it has something to do with the server loading things out of order and not registering them. Normally a second server restart will fix it and all of the items will be back in their rightful place. 4. There is no proof of what server you were on when the camp was missing. This is probably the smaller of the others though. If you look for corruption, you will find it whether it is present or it isn't. I doubt all these people in this thread seeking blood and retribution for a problem that is most likely nonexistant isn't helping the OP's argument.

They can't do anything to those servers, they can't connect to hive. I'm fairly certain even if they were on hive, people wouldn't be able to connect without a CD key, as that is how it tells people apart.

I have an issue on login that sometimes no weapons/equipment are selected. Pressing "F" until you get back to your gun usually fixes it

my inventory is always full, and I can still crouch laps around my friend while he sprints at full speed with the newly-spawned inventory

old thread for an older version' date=' and the title wasn't as descriptive of the situation. Didn't show up in searches for common lines applied to the situation of being spawned in those fields. Felt a new thread with a better title would've been more appropriate than tagging onto a thread that hadn't been touched in a while and was burried deep in the forum. [/quote'] It worked, kind of. Good news: I got put in the debug forest. Bad news: Someone was camping there and I was greeted to a head shot.

This happens to me a lot for some reason. I never combat log, and I never log with the shock symbol; I found it stopped happening after I got to the point where I didn't have to sprint everywhere. Before I met up with my friend we spent forever trying to meet up, couple hours of sprinting across the coast(with no zombie encounters). I found that every time we had to log out to do something and came back 10 mins or an hour later, I'd have that 5 minute shock timer

You may not have read, but the OP already stated he has tried it with a variety of weapons, inventories, views, and walking speeds. It helps if you read a post before replying, this is indeed a bug My friend also has this issue, I crouch-walk faster than he can sprint. I usually end up having to wait when he gets too far behind, but it would be a great help if we could put him up at normal speed I would like to add, it has a little to do with connection/computer specs. My computer is better, as is my internet; but he was over here earlier using my connection and I was still trumping him in speed.
