Considering noone knows who's hacking who it might have just been the same guy messing around. this isn't the way of dealing with the problem

wow 3/4 people being affected by hackers in this poll so far, what kind of credible data can this alpha test obtain with so many hackers? I guess player and network interactions and performance but even that data will be tarnished by people injecting code. At the same time there is nothing anyone can do apart from battleEye who are obviously out of there depth, is there even a point in mentioning the hackers or reporting them as noone can be sure who it is??

So many blind fanboys in this thread, hacking is wildly out of control THAT's why you are seeing so many threads about it. That's why the mod agreed in the reply above, that's why there are loads of youtube videos with hackers in them. Also to the people saying the standalone version will fix it, ARMA 2 is standalone and it's just as easy to hack so lets hope they learn some lessons.

lol why??? if you had that though you could have some kind of trap that ties people to the train lines, you could then force them to talk!

Arma 2 is to blame for this one, the engine doesn't give sufficient data to track players who hack and it is an engine that is very easy to hack. When day Z goes standalone it will need a major upheaval of code to get this changed, hopefully arma 3 engine is more inherently secure

This is unplayable for me now, been flushing but now its happening all the time. I see they are fixing it in the next patch though. What I don't get though is I saw 1.7.2.4 had been released but it said on the forum post that it was a test build and it would NOT be included in sixupdater, the same night it automatically updated to it and I've had these issues ever since! I'm guessing they scrapped the testing bit of it.

I see alot of people having the same graphics bug, any word on howto fix it? keeps happening to me

Day z Critique "You're Fat!" Day-z Community: "Fuck you I'm not fat, I'm Alpha stage slim"

Day z is so popular because it's a huge open world, survival horror mmo, which to my best knowledge is a new creative format. When I saw the videos of people playing on youtube I thought "I have to get me some of that!'. Then I remembered Arma 2, I have friends who played this game quite a bit, I couldn't find the enjoyment in the game, way to glitchy and a user interface from hell were my best memories. I wonder if most of the people who seem to pop up in every thread doing the 'It's Alpha moron... Surprise' even realise that the bugs being complained about are inherent in the arma engine, judging by the fact they haven't been fixed in 3 years... will NEVER be fixed, alpha, beta or otherwise. I'm all for day z being developed on an engine that at least supports melee combat as a standard and has a more conformist approach to the UI, more importantly an engine that day z can be implemented as a survival horror zombie game rather than a realistic gun game on a huge map. Edit: I hate the fact that other big companies will rip off the idea and profit on it when it's rocket that deserves the plaudits and the cash money, unfortunately people are not going to stick around in a perpetual alpha game when there will be better alternatives around.

I couldn't update battle eye Via steam, it kept saying 'program is busy' for arrowhead, error messages came up saying "missing string", went to the website and downloaded the .dll files and added them to arma2 + arowhead. Testing now

This is defiantly a day z problem as arma 2 plays fine for me with no connection problems, I will try updating battleeye again. I love how every post has an Alpha disclaimer, with an Open alpha that is basically gone viral over youtube, the day z devs proud of user numbers and the advertising of the game on twitter etc. If they didn't want the uneducated rabble, have a closed alpha like every other game :)

Seeing so many more posts about this but no replies from devs :(

If its the same thing I and many others are getting (http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/30238-no-message-received/#entry291942) it is NOT the internet connection on our end, it never reconnects to the server no matter how long you leave it, Ping and connection stable and never does it on other games. Have friends with exactly the same problem as well.

I started a thread about this here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/30238-no-message-received/#entry291942 There are threads about it from may which noone has ever answered. Although I have only had this problem with 1.7.2

Missing the point, you shouldn't loose everything if you get d/c for 30 mins+ play because you choose a 'shitty server'. I am also talking about multiple servers not just one.

If this is server side, should there not be some sort of contingency to not loose all the time you have played on that server? Are the devs aware of this server side bug that I missed in the forum search?

haha, luckily I am rubbish and never have good loot :)

I must be really unlucky then as it is happening consistently since 1.7.2 :(

this forum auto embeds, there a plenty of other youtube videos as well thank it wont let me add the links for. Also can't see where to edit the OP??

Started playing day z the other day, loving the game, so immersive and fun to play. From reading the forums I notice the creative direction you are trying to go and it sounds great. I just wonder if it can ever be achieved on the arma 2 engine? I remember first playing arma 2 and thinking 'WTF', clunky unintuitive controls, horrible interface and numerous bugs. When I heard about day z I went back and played a bit of arma 2 before buying arrowhead, nothing had changed. Some of the bugs being constantly reported are in fact bugs that have been with the engine for a long while, I'm guessing that is why the same bugs have been in day z for a while. Anyways loving the mod! Thanks for sucking more hours out of my day :P
