yes I do know how to bypass the launchers and I use dayz commander myself, my frustration is mainly due to the amount of troubleshooting I have to do in my servers TS for regulars to get connected and it always seems to be when they use six launcher (which as I said I do use and say is good if all you need is an already distributed and hosted patch/beta) but if it involves roll backs or patch days my gawd does it put a wrench in things. And yes forced updating for an alpha is understandable, but only with an established patch distribution pipeline that allows all clients and hosts to have access to updates at the same time. Also when using beta patches they should be stress tested before using it on all servers (as many hosts will warn when they supply the new updates) and is not assured to be stable or needed to play the current version of dayz and so should not be forced unless required by a dayz update.

dude read the sticky topics before posting it says right in front of your face, DO NOT POST FOR GLOBAL BAN APPEALS. If you cant even get that right idk how you think your going to get unbanned.

its an exploit and ruins immersion, insta ban on my server.

lol learn howto play the game before you bitch about it noob. Learn where weapons you want spawn then go there, find a map food and water and a hatchet after that you can find w/e weapon you like via the dayzDB map online. I love this game because it eats the weak COD gamer kiddies, dont like tough gtfo and let the real men play.

if you use illegal items you may not be a hacker but your not an honest gamer thats for sure. I kick people I see using hacked weapons and tell them to drop it if they want to play in my server. If its a weapon thats not in dayz dont use it, you probably wont get banned but you will get kicked or watched and most admins will assume your a hacker/exploiter when they see it in your inventory in the server console.

for vanilla game hosting I use vilayer, it is $50 CDN for a 40 clot server and i get a 9-13ms ping in it. They have a TS that usually has one of the team in it for Q/A and of course they follow rockets server rules so access to mission files is restricted. Many config options though including a timezone changer. Been using vilayer for over a month and they are a good host imo, though due to high volume of ordered servers it can take upto 24h to get servers up... though mine only took 90min.

its hard for server logs to catch people that simply disable the cheat detection and look like reg players in game, be nice if BE had a touch of actual protection like ensuring BE is active on clients to even allow connection to servers.

I cant say I want to be able to password my server, but I can say it would be nice not to be treated like a potential hacker myself as an admin. I mean seriously, I am not even able to access my in game server control and kick/ban from there, I have to use my Rcon commands or go to my ACP layer. I dont see how that change is anything but a panicked response from BE to the sheer ease with which hackers we able to hijack the servers and not really rockets choice.......but still its pure retardation to have an in game server control that you lock server owners out of and kind of shows how vulnerable BE is to the most basic of attacks.

nice stuff, fast patches! But please fix tents, they are unbalancing the game and making it pointless to look for loot. Between them not placing/storing items properly or just outright duping items every restart and not being able to perm flatten them they are a HUGE problem imo and were not fixed in last patch as specified.

Tents are still borked, one tent worked right after update to .4 then the next 2 wipe all the items every restart. Main camp still duping items in it, no fix whatsoever............makes playing kind of pointless if you dont have a vehicle and you want to keep your gear.

Rocket just needs to remove barbwire until he get the underground in. From my experience the stuff is exclusively used to either grief or by noobs that think its cool to put it around their tents in the middle of the woods not realizing its like a beacon. Now with helicopters coming back in our tents and convoys are even less safe making even the redundant barb wire fence for your tents pointless. At the very least DONT LET IT STAY PAST SERVER RESTART FOR 7 DAYS or better yet let the server admins disable it server side or even choose to clear it all out on restarts.... i mean 7 days to have to deal with 90% of critical structures griefed.....not fun especially when you can even enter most towns due to the GFX glitch.

I say rocket makes a rule that until people pay for the game or for a server they can stfu and play on one of the 20k+ other servers if they dont like yours.

i could do without barbed wire all together, stuff is a pain and is only really used to grief from what i can see.

yeah you may want to refute the actual topic of the post (hacking in dayz being rampant and BE not doing its job) instead of just cherry picking a sentence on the topic that you dont agree with. If you cant articulate your thoughts better you may just want to stick to playing games instead of commenting on them. Fact - DayZ is infested with hackers Fact - Battle Eye advertized statements say it prevents such intrusions Fact - That is false advertising Now that I have broken down my rant for you into 3 easily defined notes you may now formulate an actual rebuttal to my statement.

....ok so it didnt come out on the 25th so now it is slated to come out ...... on the 24th? does he mean the 24th of august or some shit or was rockett just tired as shit when he updated this? little clarification WHEN THE FUCK IS THE UPDATE, my server has already gone onto some wildly unstable beta+beta patch and now no one plays on my server and it says it is waiting for the dayz patch to release. should I roll back if its going to be a month for the next patch? or wtf. Dammit rocket you do realize NO ONE CARES about any of these fixes until the hackers are dealt with as well........ and I have yet to see "hackers wont be able to teleport you spawn in items script kill or generally take over the entire game". Please rocket lock out ALL client side access to item creation.... there is NO REASON to allow users any item creation control other than picking things up from loot piles. Gotta prioritize man, your game is 100% non playable right now for 1 reason and 1 reason only, hackers. Never had I played a game that hackers are able to have more control and freedom than the server admins let alone be able to take over entire servers and do things even admins cant do with such ease. I love your game and dont mean to bitch at you I know ur crazy busy with the business side of things not just the game dev but trust me your game will die in cancer fire if you dont fix this hacking like yesterday. I say Fook battle eye it is obviously redundant and any anti cheat prog that is so easy to bypass should be taken to court for false advertising at least and criminal false business practices at worst. Lock out any client side item creation and seeing as all admins can do is kick and ban there should be NO reason to have any other functionality available like Rcon. A drunk monkey with a knife taped to its hand offers better protection than this piece of shite program rocket, drop it all together and do it yourself. ....unexpected rant over sorry again.

hmm really making things hard for a perm death situation when we cant actually put up new tent or save new items in them and they are all effectively duping items every restart.

Honestly idc about anything that is fixed or not fixed in the game until hackers are dealt with, until then the immersive nature and very reason for all the draconian rule sets surrounding server admins and operation is 100% redundant and counter productive to stopping hackers. I cant even play for a 4h period w/o betting tele killed or ported to some house surrounded by barbed wire to get shot. Its simple rocket, either tell the BE people actually make an anti cheat that require more than one file to be modded to cancel itself out or you will drop their obviously shoddy protection for your gold release. This is no longer a game nor a simulation for people rocket, its a frustrating pool of death at the hands of redundant little script kiddies that dont even have to be good at what they do to bypass your security. Hacks need to be taken care of rocket please man I love your game but with this kind of game if its perm death and any fool can hack then there is no point.

Vilayer doesnt provide instance IDs from what I gather. Instance ID is for patch updates and access to the client layer of the dayz site for server hosts. Vilayer tests and provides forced or optional updates based on the performance of the updates coming from rocket. In my experience Vilayer has been spot on and doing things for their dayz servers that most hosts for other games dont do. This is an alpha game being used by over half a million people, a little perspective is needed I think. There is no established patch distribution pipeline or update system for the server Hosts other than manually downloading it and making it into a patch manually for their servers. This is a VERY inefficient method to update tens of thousands of servers over dozens of diff hosts with dozens of diff patching methods. If this performance from the hosts persists after gold launch of Dayz then I would say we have a problem, until then my suggestion is to realize you are not here to "play" a game you are here to "test" a potential game in development. If you are expecting smooth service and flawless gameplay your going to be very let down and honestly I have no idea why you are expecting this level of service during an alpha for a game you didnt even pay for.

what host do you use?

takes me over an hour a day to go threw the logs for my server and uselessly ban people...... i mean the Ban button in the actual server control window in game doesnt even work. I understand rocket wants to make a ruthless game but I didnt know he meant ruthless towards server owners. Its turning into a new kind of game where the people investing in the game are the targets and the people hacking are the real players. We need solutions asap rocket please make this a top priority or at least let us lock OUR servers for a quick fix, I have actually had my server taken over and had to stop it for an hour as my only defense thats just wrong.

would love some kind of DB that shows what bad scripts looks like, impossible to drag the info out of spammed web console and the logs are massive and un parsed..... please move the hive crap to its own log as well it clutters up the console.

Juts wonder wth this may be doing in my server logs instead of a forum or blog like it seems to be designed for. 22:13:17 Unknown entity: 'copy' 22:13:17 Unknown entity: '&i<a.length&&(x=a)&&x.oSrc' 22:13:17 Unknown entity: '&parent.frames.length) { d=parent.frames[n.substring(p+1)].document' 22:13:17 Unknown entity: '&d.all) x=d.all[n]' 22:13:17 Unknown entity: '&i<d.forms.length' 22:13:17 Unknown entity: '&d.layers&&i<d.layers.length' 22:13:17 Unknown entity: '& d.getElementById) x=d.getElementById(n)' 22:13:17 Unknown entity: 'cat=3" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Image4','','images/over_09.jpg',1)"><img src="images/top_09.jpg" name="Image4" width="168" height="45" border="0" id="Image4" /></a><a href="index.php?site=shout" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Image5','','images/over_10.jpg',1)"><img src="images/top_10.jpg" name="Image5" width="161" height="45" border="0" id="Image5" /></a><a href="index.php?site=contact" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmous 22:13:17 Unknown entity: 'nbsp' 22:13:17 Unknown entity: 'nbsp' 22:13:17 Unknown entity: 'nbsp' 22:13:17 Unknown entity: 'cat=3" target="_blank"> <img src="images/featuredcont/full_1341616936_Site Banner TR.jpg" alt="Featured Content Picture #4" /> </a> <span class="caption">Join our Planetside 2 Outfit!</span> </div> <div> <a href="http://nwogaming.com...topic&topic=27" target="_blank"> <img src="images/featuredcont/full_1341622281_Teamspeak slider.jpg" alt="Featured Content Picture #6" /> </a> <span class="caption">Hop on our Teamspeak server, click here!</span> </div> < Is this just people trying to spam in my server? i mean there is a banner link and all that shiz. This isnt from a chat log obviously so it doesnt appear to be what he said but what they tried to do. figured it out was people set to broadcast things in their own server that they had admin in but did not have admin in mine.

40 slot serv for $50 CDN per month and its not poor service its an alpha with an un established patch distribution system for server hosts.

I also use vilayer, dayz is in alpha and due to this the data distribution pipeline is VERY inefficient. This means our hosts have to get these micro updates every 2 days AND get the corresponding beta patch (an alpha game running off beta patches yeah most would see that as a recipe for disaster) and then make a option or forced install version for EVERY dayZ server they have. This is very hard on the hosts and really not viable for long I am sure hosts are working out a way to just make us deal with it on our own right now. My point is the servers are slow to update or the clients get wrong versions because of poor distribution of patches, I have stopped using six launcher all together because it is INSANE to have a launcher that forces version updates in an alpha game and it have either been too early with updates or WAY behind locking me out of my server for 12+h. Its better to learn how to update and rollback your beta version and dayz versions manually, I do it this way now and use Dayz Commander and can go back and forth at will with no problems. Drop six launcher get Dayz commander and go back to beta version 95054.

Vilayer.com for me $50 CDN per month 40 person server as stable as an alpha can get LA based server with 11ms ping from vancouver.
