Don't know what you are talking about, they released 95948 yesterday http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php/ I'm running 95913 on my server. [EDIT] The dedicated server executable is usually a higher version than the client but you should always be able to connect with the corresponding client.

As the title states, searching the forums will not look at the titles even though search is selected to search title & content.

Have no idea what happened, my buddies lost their weapons and some tents, tents left were empty... :( Did a #shutdown and restarted server. Damn those F***ING HACKERS!!!!

I've been looking at the logs, they tell me nothing what is going on, as soon as I think I have a lead, it pans out to nothing. Going to sleep now, sorry I couldn't catch this one :( On the upside I activated a better script.txt (script detection file) but still, he hacks and no logging, so I guess it's futile. No gaming time for me this evening again :( looking at logs that say nothing......

If this is happening as of now, you can help me, who are the players that got killed? And at about what time? PM me location they were at, and which direction the hacker came from.

Thank you!

One of the buddies just told me they used a grenade on you last night, could that be the "mortars"?

On another note.. My gaming experience has been greatly reduced due to gaming time being shifted from playing to running this server, and it's tiresome to try keeping it hackerfree :(

Hi! I am the admin of this server! And I can confirm you and I have been in fights along with my friends. I'd like to respond to your accusations: So we noticed, you started raiding our camp and we managed to find your camp, the fight is on! We thought we had a good location for camp but obviously not. Feeling hurt? Sure, you started raiding our camp and killing us, if that doesn't hurt I dont know what does. You are good yes, excelling us, perhaps. More in the region of you outnumbered us several times and had the upper hand since we had no idea you were on to us. We certainly do not kick without reason. I have gone through logs and only kicks I can identify on you is due to lobby idling. We sure as hell do not abuse, if you don't count us killing eachother that is. We pride ourselfs on not disconnecting in fights and sure as hell don't kick anyone! Hacking? Hell no, we are plagued by hackers, we are trying to get a nice DayZ experience and these f***ing hackers f**k it up for us. I've been on the server twice when shit happened, restarted as soon as I could. But is sure as hell aint us hacking. I'm at a loss about what to do to get rid of the hackers, banned 4 suspects but they keep coming, and apparently they have hacks that even circumvent the bans. You are welcome to stay and I hope you do, because I am trying to give everyone a nice experience on our server. For one I made it so that there is always daylight. I'm very sad that hackers ruin the server and your gaming experience, they ruin it for us aswell. Today I feel quite demoralized due to reading up on cheat prevention and I'm seriously concidering giving up running this server due to this game (read Arma 2) being hacked the hell out and it looks like the poor design of the server/client network play or how this game is build in general is not going to get much better ever. Feel free to PM me if anything else, or have a chat on TS if you'd like. Oh, one more thing, I had a "newbie" admin who I caught writing something wery unapropriate in the server global admin chat once, I think when he first discovered someone raiding us (possibly you guys), I have told him that it is not the correct way and his admin privileges has since been removed. The way we do it, we battle you! Best regards Karg

Hi! I am server admin, was playing at the same time. Killed the server as fast as I could. Have tried to locate who did it in the logs but they are a pain to look through and I can not find anything conclusive. Cheat/Hacking detection is real bad. Hackers seem to be able to do whatever they want. My findings about Arma 2 is that the server/client design is poor and we will be plagued by hackers for a long time to come, and us server admins have no tools to combat them.

I'm confused. Do that mean BattlEye need to be installed "as a client" on server? Or just that it's enabled and required for the clients (which it of course is). Because I only copied the game files from a client installation and never ran the installer, doing manual copying of beta patches when they arrive. So do I have to fix my registry so the beta patch installer will run on the server aswell and install BattleEye? Don't dare to start the server before I get this answered.

I had the same issie with the 'dayz_anim' requires addon 'CA_Missions_BAF_2'. After updating the actual ARMA II game to 1.11 and Operation Arrowhead to 1.60 (which is not out of the box) this is gone.
