Soap, you can't just make arbitrary rules like that. Rocket himself, THE GAME CREATOR, as well as BattleEye, THE GAME ANTICHEAT(as shitty as it is) BOTH say that just using hacked weapons you found by any means short of spawning them yourself IS NOT A BANNABLE OFFENSE. I can sort of see where you are coming from, but an as50 thermal isn't that powerful, you can hit the same targets they do with the normal as50 or other .50 cal sniper, it just takes a little more skill. My clan's leader as well as the server admin agree, you find a hacked weapon off a hacker or in their tent, use that shit if you want too, because when the noob who uses it dies to a superior player with a normal gun, its probably going to get hidden out of spite anyway. Its all in peoples playstyles, as long as they're not hacking themselves, let them use what they find, I've actually seen people kill hackers with -gasp- hacked as50 TWS since he was flying thru the sky in the clouds and couldn't be seen from the ground with a normal rifle. And I agree with you, shitty memes are shitty.

I agree its not impossible to do very long range shots with an as50. I'm saying the likely hood of someone getting 4 head shots in a row in about 5 seconds on 4 moving targets at 1000+m is VERY UNLIKELY and probably using an aimbot to do so.

Even rocket has said use of a hacked item will not result in a ban. It makes sense how you're saying it, but he's not going to ban you for using an item you didn't spawn in the game, hacked or not, you might just be that stupid and not realize it for all he knows. You probably know what you're doing, but to give a benefit of the doubt, he doesn't ban use of hacked stuff.

At the end of the day who cares if its a hacked item. You CAN NOT be banned for using a hacked item you picked up that you did not hack into the game yourself. If you kill a hacker and take his thermal as50 scope, its legit to use, and battle eye WILL NOT BAN you for using it, as long as you're not the hacker that spawned it. http://www.battleye.com/support.html Read it, first bullet on top of the list. For those incapable of clicking a link(seems to happen a lot on here) "No one is banned for using non-hack programs (like Fraps, overlays, etc.), picking up or using hacked in-game items, weapons or vehicles, being on a server at the same time as a cheater, or other passive non-cheating activity."

Let me just stop this debate about "oh you can or can't use hacked weapons" YOU CAN! Learn to read. I linked to this in a previous post in this thread, just shows you doubters DO NOT READ COUNTERARGUMENTS. I'll just leave this here. http://www.battleye.com/support.html And for those too lazy to click and read it there, No one is banned for using non-hack programs (like Fraps, overlays, etc.), picking up or using hacked in-game items, weapons or vehicles, being on a server at the same time as a cheater, or other passive non-cheating activity. Therefore all requests mentioning these things as possible reasons for the global ban are ignored.

If we got everyone from out clan to post here, there would be almost 100 replies to this thread. The thread alludes to AWOL as a clan hacking for items or whatever, and he put our name in the "cheat reporting" section. WE DO NOT CHEAT, and as such we do not want to be accused of such activities. And just because OP did not accuse us himself(although he alluded to it), but poster #2 and #3 sure talk like they assume we are cheating, as does poster #4. This thread SEEMS to have been posted to try and make us look bad/an attempt to get our clan/server blacklisted, and it is our right to defend ourselves from false accusations. If a thread is made with your name in it, in the cheat report section, what are you going to think or do about it? certainly not sit there and let it happen, especially when you have a reputation to uphold. Not to mention we're not arguing we had a hacked weapon, we knew it was, we GOT IT OFF A DEAD HACKER. Battle Eye is clear as I said that use of hacked items IS NOT ILLEGAL AS LONG AS YOU DIDN'T HACK THE GAME TO GET THEM! IF YOU TAKE THEM OFF A HACKERS BODY ITS FAIR TO USE AND YOU WILL *NOT* BE BANNED. I don't see how you're getting so butthurt by something we did that's not against any rules.

Its getting more and more serious. When my clan's server becomes the thunderdome because a hacker changed how the server spawns people, or someone is head shotting people in rapid succession moving targets at +1000 meters without missing at all its a pain for my clan to legitly repair our vehicles and help gear out our fallen comrades, much less enjoy playing the game. We have lost 2 camps and several vehicles to hackers using the radar esp.

So nothing? No one is going to do anything about this? Hell if I knew that was the case maybe I should buy my own server, lock it down, and farm military grade stuff all day at heli spawns and just shore pk everyone.

I am part of AWOL, and NONE of us cheat or hack. We worked too hard repariing the 6+ vehicals we had and lost it ALL to hackers to hack ourselves, you think we'd spend over a week finding and fixing this stuff if we could just hack it? They started teleporting everyone who loaded in on the server to "THE THUNDERDOME" where they had people kill each other, because you couldn't get out of that area. The weapon itself as was stated, was taken off the body of a hacker that got killed. Should it have been destroyed? maybe, what does BATTLE EYE'S website say about people using hacked weapons if they themselves didn't hack the game to get it(ie they kill a hacker and take it) WILL NOT BE BANNED as stated http://battleye.com/support.html . You want to paint us like we're the ones hacking our gear, and we're not. Each and every one of us has worked for what we ALL have as a group, and most of that was taken from us by hackers, so think before you accuse, especially if you're trying to convince people an ENTIRE CLAN is bad because of what you THINK we did. You and your friend tried taking down a squad and failed, that's all that happened. I've been killed more times than I can count by people I never even saw, but I don't accuse them of hacking.

Ok this is getting stupid. I have reinstalled AGAIN and still have the same problem. I can't use six launcher OR the in game multiplayer server browser to join a game. Hell, the in game browser doesn't even load up servers anymore (it used too). I'm starting to get pissed because I can't find anyone to play with on the 3 fucking servers I have to choose from.

Nope as I said in my original post, I can not use the multiplayer server browser to pull up servers, they either don't come up at all, or when they do, they stick me at "wait for host" just like six launcher does. I have also tried using the shorcut parameters connect=ip port=#### to no avail, just hangs at "wait for host" as well. I am currently reinstalling for the THIRD time to make sure that isn't the issue.

I was playing via DayZ Commander on 5803 UK server for a few days just fine. I had searched elektro and cherno in the night and had built up a tent with quite a few supplies hidden nicely in a forest area. Then I goto sleep one night and the next day the server is locked, and there is only ever 2 to 4 people playing on it at any given time. This server is connected to the Hive and it is not fair these 2-4 players are accessing the whole map without a threat of being killed by other players. Not to mention I lost my tent by now(more than 6 days not accessed by me). Please someone do something about this abuse, its bullshit and unfair to the rest of us who play on the edge of being player killed on normal servers. Attached is proof that its locked and how many players are on it.

I definately did run it before I ran DayZ, I have reinstalled it to double check that it was done properly. My firewall/router isn't the issue.

Ok. Firstly here's my specs: Arma II/OA retail thru gamersgate. Arma II/OA 1.62 DayZ 1.7.2.3 beta patch 95248 (I have down to 95208 and up to 95389 ready to install depending on the server I'm trying to join) Six Launcher installed with Six Updater v2.9.7pre16setup and let itself update. DayZ Commander is 0.9.0.48 I can play on about 5 servers via Dayz Commander launcher. But I'm trying to use Six Launcher or even the multiplayer in game server browser. PC Specs: AMD Phenom X II 6 Core processor. ATI Radeon HD 5570 1gb graphics card. 8gb ram Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit Here is my problem. Whenever I use six launcher or six updater or the in game server browser to try and join a server, it doesn't matter if it is half full, 1 person, or completely empty I always get stuck at the first "wait for host" blank screen. YES! I AM UP TO DATE WITH EVERYTHING! Every time I try to join a server I make sure I am running the beta it says it is running. I even got around six launcher constant unwanted beta patch updating by letting it "verify" and update my files and then down patching before I launched the game thru six launcher. And yes I do have the box checked to NOT mess with my beta version. I am up to date with everything, as I said, dayz commander launches fine for 4 or 5 servers, but I want to use six launcher to play with my clan. Dayz Commander doesn't have their server on the list for some reason, so I can't use it to join. I can't use the in game server browser because it too does the same thing, hangs me at "wait for host" first blank screen forever. I have given every method ample time(minimum of 10-20 minutes each attempt, and I have tried severs from all over the world as well.) Any one have any advice for me? Its not my router, I've triple checked and even used programs to make sure the correct ports are open. This has been going on since I started playing DayZ, around patch 95054 when I finally was able to get in a server with DayZ Commander. I just want to play with my clan, instead of solo all the damn time. Thanks in advance.

UPDATED INFORMATION: I'm running 1.62 Arma II. both Arma II and OA are fully up to date. I'm running beta patch 95248 to try and play on my clans server, so far I get stuck at waiting for host. DayZ Mod is version 1.7.2.3 I have tried the most up to date beta patches, even letting six launcher download and install them and still ANY server I try to join via six launcher I get stuck at waiting for host.
