First off, I apologize if there is already another post about this somewhere else. Your forum does not allow me to search for "alt" and "f4" because they are less than 4 characters. I've been reading and watching people complain about other players quitting out of the game in the middle of firefights for a while now so I decided to do some quick research on the topic. I found this post on how to control the use of windows system commands: http://www.cpp-home.....php?f=2&t=1073 This assumes you are working in c++, but what really matters is access to the windows message loop. Assuming you guys have access to the sending and receiving of windows messages, you can just gobble the alt-f4 command and prevent players from cheating as easily. Obviously this is not a full fix for the problem, as players can still quit the game through other means, but it does prevent them from quitting as quickly and may give other players the split-second chance they need to finish the job.

I kinda thought they were using something like this. I figured that, given the close relationship between the DayZ developers and the Arma 2 developers, they could just ask for something like this to be included in the next Arma 2 patch. I can't see any reason why this would compromise Arma 2 in any way. That's a good point about scripting language vulnerabilities, I forgot that this is just a mod (due to it's popularity). I agree that my suggestion is not the best solution to this problem, a disconnect timer is the best solution. I think I heard this idea somewhere else, but rather than players crouching when they log out; they should be forced to stand for 5-10 seconds. That would force players to log out in safer, less infested, places.
