TheLoneRanger (DayZ)

The crosshairs in 3rd person are not very accurate. The Day Z wiki has more information about the crosshairs. Switch to 1st person for any kind of range shooting, unless you're enemy is at point blank.

Wouldn't surprise me, you can clearly see (Sincerity) Judeah in the video as the driver. Shits been ridiculous tonight, on another server (US 1220) 5 A-10s were flying around Cherno, and hacked vehicle spawns were everywhere (found a chopper on the ground). Try *verifying game cache* for ARMA 2 and Operation Arrowhead, then run each individually, then run OA: Combined Operations (all through Steam, just get to the menus). If that alone doesn't work, delete and reinstall the Beta patch through this link: http://www.six-updat...umentation.html Hope that helps. Personally, I had to reinstall the Beta patch to get it to work again. (Beta 95248 is the most recent)

This is my buddy's video, hacking on US 132 thread here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/45048-teleport-hack-server-us-132/ We were being individually teleported to Balota Airfield, and killed my an army of *female clones* if we did not follow the instructions of the hacker (whose name we could not see with the cursor). Shortly after the hacking subsided, I spawned at Komarovo and was running to Balota when i was killed by these 4, who were running to their vehicle (from Balota). None of them were ever teleport-killed during the hourish long hack session. After they got their vehicle, they booked it towards Cherno, where Haufer was in the road and turned on the flashlight of his G17, prompting this video. If you look closely there are at least 3 people, with the first two wearing Ghillie suits and NVGs. Total, four Sincerity Clan members were on the server (shown in my screenshot on the other thread).

You may have to launch each game (ARMA II and then OA, then Combined operations) AND reinstall the Beta patch to get it to work again. To properly reinstall the beta patch, use this link: http://www.six-updater.net/p/documentation.html Mine is finally working now :)

I was thinking the exact same thing. If so, it takes the whole *hacking for LOLS* to a whole new level. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Invasion of Privacy charges (among others) could now be brought against them. However, STEAM has pushed an update, which could also be the culprit. However, theres at least one other person who said he was a victim of server hacking before this happened as well.

Same here man. And LOL at the thumbnail, hilarious

Same here man, bout the same time on US 132. Also the same time STEAM rollout update, w/e it was. Either way we're currently screwed. Im tinkering with files trying to see if i can get a fix going.

Nope, tried several times, no joy.

Deleted the BE DLLs, no joy. Hopefully won't have to reinstall.

Bump. Steam updated something, and now nothing is working. I thought it was due to hackers (I've been getting BattlEye #55 kicks alld ay long for no reason). My buddy who has Steam (and it updated for him) is able to get into servers. He will be uploading a pic shortly of the error I'm showing as the red text in the bottom right of his screen.

Same here. I noticed Steam just finished downloading something for ARMA 2. Launching the game through Steam again didn't help. I was the victim on server US 132 to hackers (suspect Sincerity clan, see Cheat reporting thread) who said they were banning me for *racial comments*. I happened to drop the N bomb on the hackers a few times, I apologize. Link to 132 hacking thread: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/45048-teleport-hack-server-us-132/ I now cannot join any server (insta kicked). Will try updating Battle Eye and see what happens.

http://i.imgur.com/VlK2z.png Suspects are the Sincerity clan, as they are atop the leaderboard and were not teleport-killed. Immediately following the hack-death spree I and the rest of the server were on, they rolled out of Balota (where we are all getting teleport-killed) guns blazing. A few minutes after I was killed, my buddy was shot by the same 4 in a vehicle heading towards Cherno. At least two were in Ghillie suits. Also, I was threatened a *ban* from the hacker for calling the him... derogatory comments. I've been kicked by Battle Eye for error #55 several times before and after this occurred.

Hacker (claiming to be the admin, but who knows) is still online.

Ditto on US 132. Teleported to Balota Airfield, where 50 or so female *clones* shot me. "I was going to help you, but I guess not" were the hackers comments. I took a *Prt Scr* Screenshot but it ignored the game and took a pic of my DayZ map in Firefox :/. My cursor did nto pick up any names other than *Rifleman*, which it always says for a survivor.

I'm sorry, but I had to laugh at that, that is pretty epic. LOL To be honest, I've only encountered flagrant hackers one time; server got nuked. Good thing is, I had just died to some dude in Pushto (i think) who had a team and a URAL. So I actually thought it was funny. However, this is the 5th or 6th thread/post I've seen about this in the last 15 or so hours. On another page, someone said they were turned into a goat. Earlier, an entire server was teleported to Otmel to their deaths. Another guy said that someone teleported to him with a hatchet at NE airfield, said he was a hacker (was blaring music over direct comm too), and then hacked this guy to death. My suggestion? Find a decent server that doesn't give you disconnects and isn't run by a douchebag clan and has an Admin on fairly regularly.. Also, you can roll back the beta patches and play on a server with far fewer people (and thus no hackers). Instructions for rollback are here: http://www.six-updater.net/p/documentation.html Me and my buddy did that today because the server with our tent hadn't updated yet.... Logged right in, everything was still there. However, we just went back to our campsite an hour ago and our tent was gone, probably eaten by the server. We rolled back to 95099, so just a heads up. I did die in between visits (dude named 1048 spawned into the Barracks and killed me, my buddy got him. Server hopping farming bastard), so that may have caused its deletion.

DayZ, where Douchebaggery thrives and is encouraged. Then there is the OP, whose high moments in life are living out his sadistic fantasies in an online environment.

Been a lot of posts about this recently. Personally i encountered a *Server nuke* two nights ago; can't recall the server. It was shortly after i died anyway, but sucks for those guys in the Ural that killed us^^ Wish it would stop, but I know it never will.

Are you high? Since when is adjusting video settings in game *abuse*? They're in every game, and its not a hack. Even with Brightness/gamma maxed you can barely see silhouettes against a rainy sky. When the moon is up it aint bad, but still. I get the *vision* and *the experience* arguments in most other aspects, but telling someone they shouldn't *abuse* brightness settings in-game is pretty retarded.

Funny ending lol, nice kill.

Players. I usually die in Cherno/Elektro Deathmatches after the rare zombie 1 hit knock out, or the Balota Airfield. After I was shot in the back in Pulkovo (I think) by 3 *friendlies* in a church, losing my MK48, 240, and silenced M4, Ive resorted to rage-killing by spawning near Balota/Grabbing AK/ KIlling everyone and repeating. Until this game/mod becomes less of a death match, this type of playstyle will only increase. This game has become 95% Shoot on Sight, armed or not, because everyone is percieved as a *threat* to everyone else.

The game is a FFA deathmatch, with zombies. At least in its current state. Bandits need to make a return, or this will continue. Everyone is shoot on sight, there are no *friendlies* anymore. Gets the blood pumping, however. But things need to change or players will slip away.

This too. Ive ran around a lot and not seen a single zombie (or loot for that matter) in Zelen, but then I'll be crossing through fields and and aggro zombies a mile away. I've also encountered the frozen variety as well, at deer stands and in towns. Also, if you approach a town too fast in a vehicle, loot and zombies do not spawn until several minutes after your arrival (if at all). Not complaining, just bug reporting.

Agreed, gunfire isn't aggroing them like it used to, but their vision range and closing speed seems to be buffed.

Two nights ago, me and a buddy found two chopper crash sights within sight of each other. We walked away with an L85, M107, M240, and a 249. I lost the L85 when i tried to put it in my backback, and a 240 disappeared from a tent. Things happen, its not the end of the world. Also, I found a bus. I blew through Cherno twice before someone finally popped me (i was expecting this, and ditched all my stuff beforehand). Blaring the horn and blaring music over direct chat attracts attention i guess :/ its Alpha, have fun and expect gear losses. Lol.

Firstly, scan your comp for viruses... this game *shouldnt* cause your PC's internet connection to drop out. Also, you may need to Port Forward your router. Check out portforward.com to do, and it will walk you through how to do it. I've had to do such things for other games, not ARMA2, but each router is different. It may also be something else inside your router causing issues. For troubleshooting, try connecting your PC directly to the Cable/DSL modem and see if it still drops out. If it does it could be a firewall setting on your PC's end, especially if you're using windows firewalls.
