Same issue. Seems to be worse during the day vs evening/night. I can only assume its because there are a lot of people like me passing time at work hahaha.

Well neither does Microsoft so I guess your really SoL.

If someone is illegitimately banning or kicking you can report the server/admin We are allowed to ban people provided we have some sort of proof to back up the ban. We have also had hackers appeal bans and win, just to come back and hack again and the ban cycle starts a new. Its a sticky situation, but the new BattlEye is helping a bit. I cant wait for the standalone because like many owners/admins I do feel like Im paying for everyone else to play while my time is spent policing a server and parsing logs. While I dont agree with the "Ill do what I want attitude", those that want to come in here and say your a "cancer" can screw off just the same. Self entitled gamers are the true cancer.

Tents wouldnt be nearly as big of a problem if it didn't require a player to save the tent. But right now all you have to do is take out your weapon and ammo, do not save, and youll have it all back on the next reset potentially giving you unlimited supply of your choice weapon and ammo. If someone has a spare CCO SD and they take it after a death and get killed again before finding another they no longer have a quick gear-up option. I dont think you would see nearly the whinning that you do not if it were like that. On the same side, it also adds some depth to the game. For instance we were out scouting and destroying Bandit/duper tents on our server yesterday. We'd find huge camp sites where we would have to empty the tents, save them, and destroy the items save some of the ammo and food. Sorta like policing our server, and to be perfectly honest it was fun.

Hes already said multiple times it will be on the Real Virtuality engine that will be tailored specifically for DayZ, just like they are tailored for their respective ArmA titles. No one should be complaining or whining about anything because you have nothing to compare it too. We wont know how it runs on anything until its out.

I have to disagree because there really isn't a "right" way to play DayZ. You are put on a island, alone, with little supplies to last you very long and you are expected to survive. How you survive is completely up to you, whether that be finding other survivors or even bandits to create a clan and combine your efforts to stockpile goods or shoot anyone you see in the face and steal their loot. Either way you are surviving and thus playing the game exactly how it should be played, your way. Your argument leans far to much to say that is a right way and only one right way. Fortunately you are wrong.

Getting 500 error on torrent link anyways

I dont really use the DayZ Commander other than to quickly check and update my DayZ and OA. Might be good to snag it just for that purpose. Glad you got it sorted out though.

"Doesnt work" can mean a lot of things, please give a little more detail if you want any sort of help.

Because you cant walk into Cherno/Electro or the outskirts and find duper tents scattered all over the place in almost every server....

We get hit daily almost, totally sucks. Clan members are either not logging in or playing other servers more and more.

I wish you idiots would stop blaming the Alpha stage of the game being the cause of the damn script kiddie playground. ITS THE FUCKING ARMA2 ENGINE! If it was the mod Rocket would have done something a long fucking time ago.

Could also be a heavy load on the server. Our server gets capped during the evening and its murder trying to login or especially create a new character after dying during that time. Took me close to 25 minutes before i finally got back in after dying.

All I can say is no one that I know legitimately playing the game has been banned. Considering how many people cant even be honest when they say "friendly" in this game leaves very little confidence for anyone to believe a banned player did not deserve it for one reason or another. Maybe you were banned for duping?

Im willing to bet you are 100% correct. Its actually the Virtuality 4 Engine which Arma3 will also run on so I believe what we see for DayZ will be a version tailored for DayZ and Arma3 will have a version tailored for it. Where right now we have a Virtuality 3 Engine tailored for Aram2 and then Rocket built a Mod for Arma2 that is DayZ.

So considering the hacking issue is such a problem, I think the DayZ team needs to reevaluate their "server rules". If Rocket truly cannot do anything about the problem then we need to be allowed to start locking our servers, period. At this point we are basically told we have to allow this type of game play and these players on the servers WE pay for or else we the server admins/owners will be reprimanded with a server blacklist. I have to say that is fucking bullshit unless the DayZ team has something up their sleeve in the near future because waiting until Dec is unacceptable. I mean hackers invaded the Machinima live stream yesterday while they interviewed Rocket! WTF!?!? I understand that this would really suck for those of you who do not have your own server, but YOU'RE not paying for anything. We are. Ive submitted this to the DayZ team, Id like to see if the community wants to get behind this idea. Especially those of us that really are paying money to enjoy this game. I personally would allow players to submit applications to join the server, we would be generous in most cases. But we need to know who is playing with us that we do not know personally and not allow some random ass-hat script kiddie to come in and destroy weeks of clan effort in minutes. I'm open to variations of this idea or even other suggestions, but dammit give us some fucking control over our servers! P.S. sorry about some of my language, I'm just tired of this problem and Rocket hinting that he has no plans on a anti-cheat pre-stand alone release really set me off. So if he cant thats fine, but stop forcing us to allow our servers to be held hostage by script kiddies. Edit: Fixed the grammatical issue for the grammar police =)

I get your point, but that is already happening. So the process would be the same as now: Player is unable to get access to passworded server because it is being "exploited" by the admin/owner/clan. Player comes to the DayZ forums and informs the DayZ Team. DayZ Team blacklists the server due to admin abuse. Problem solved. Same goes for the hording scenario Player joins server to find it has been picked clean and the admin/owner/clan is stocking all the gear/vehicles. Player comes to the DayZ forums and informs DayZ Team. DayZ Team blacklists the server due to admin abuse. Problem solved. So while I understand your point, again its not as big of a problem as your making it out to be and certainly isn't going to be anymore of a problem than it is now.

Did you check with your hosting company?

Hmmm where have i read this before?

I guess I should have been better player and dodged that truck that fell outta the sky two days ago....

Do you want to play now or play later? The answer to my question will answer yours.

Ahem.... I dont think the same rules apply to software patches. These guys are technically doing BI a favor by taking some of the load from their official DL servers. My question though is what makes this a better idea than using SixUpdater/DayZCommander? I never have trouble with dl speeds even if they are coming off the official site.

OC a i7 is pointless. At this time software cannot keep up with hardware and your trying to squeeze more performance out of a 2 year old game with a close to 1 year or less build. All your going to do at this point is grow your epeen and slowly kill your chip.

Or maybe hes found a way to implement better packet sniffing to weed out hackers

And here I thought the OP had a problem....
