I second this! Some servers I join with an immense amount of lag where as most run smooth. I know it sounds weird. My specs: i7 @ 2.67GHz GTX 580 16GB DDR3 Also, does anyone else's card run hot with high usage while playing during the night (within the game)? When playing at a daytime setting it runs anywhere from 45c to 55c where nighttime settings run at 70c... sometimes a little higher..

Everything in this entire post is spot on. And the hacking is wildly out of control. Like you said in your post: "haven't had a single play session where I haven't run across multiple instances of hacking in WEEKS". This is the unfortunate, sad, reality of the current DayZ state. Don't misunderstand me though. The development of DayZ is superb! However, these "hackers" (they're really called "script kiddies") are sucking the life out of his mod. They are enemies, and in one way or the other, are halting the progress of DayZ.

Here's my recent experience with hacker on this server http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/66308-hackers-in-us-100-hosted-by-50calgaming/

Indeed. My character they killed was somewhat of an accomplishment for me. Been playing 4 days with a total of only 4 zombies killed. 0 murders. I was also pretty well off with a good weapon, camo, plenty of food and water, and nv goggles.

So last night I was playing in US 100. I like this server; Low latency and side channel is enabled. Anyways, I logged on and was almost immediately killed by an invisible player. I normal just shrug something like this off but it seems that lately ever server I join there are hackers around. This is getting out of hand and BattleEye seems completely useless. This all happened last night (8/8/12) at around 10:30PM PST. The video below will explain pretty well what was happening. Pay attention to the chat and players "omg", "DeadlyEvolution", "Noxx". I don't beleive Noxx was actually hacking. However, he was actively participating with the hackers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=absVCIFOw54 Also, be sure to watch it in HD to read that chat.

I like this idea! I wouldn't say it has to be a truck coming towards the player though. But stuff like shadows or perhaps what looks to be muzzle flashes in the distance (at night)

mfw "parasprite" is mlp related

Well consider me a parasprite.

That sounds like a challenge! What server and where in Chernarus?

DING DING DING WE HAVE A WINRAR!

YESSSSSSS "But there will be some changes to playability brought on by the move from mod to game. Rebuilding from the ground up with the latest version of Bohemia's Real Virtuality engine (which was shown to great effect ) will also allow the standalone DayZ to have more diffuse nighttime lighting, rather than the practically unplayable near-pitch-blackness of the current mod."Thank you for clearing that up.

I'm so happy about this! Honestly, I would pay $60 for the stand alone. I just hope the DayZ team will utilize the Arma 3 engine. Congratulations DayZ team!
