I thought you need to replace a .pbo file with an older version or something. I read about it on the forums not too long ago. Haven't tried it myself though. :\

Another hacker caught with their pants down coming on the forums to QQ. Good game. [snip]

Don't forget Green Mountain :(

Restarting will fix it since vehicles aren't saving anyways on 1.7.2.5 LOL

That's what you get for trying to take hacked weapons http://www.tf2r.com/banned.wf

LOL how so? That guy was pretty epic. "IMMA HEROOOOOoooooo"

Actually players like you NEED hacks because you're so bad at this game that you cannot survive without them. I understand exactly what you're talking about. I've killed several hackers and they're just so fucking bad it's shameful. It's like trying to watch a handicapped person compete in the Olympics... They don't stand a chance in hell. And that's why they have Paralympics. :)

CaptainCrunch and I (Stings2pee) were playing on this server about 30 minutes ago. Long story short, I immediately repaired a helicopter on Skalisty Island after the server restarted. (We'll discover that this [ETW] clan was also repairing another helicopter at the same time). After the server was up for about 45 minutes, I had mine completely repaired and flew to Cherno. To my surprise, there was another helicopter flying around in Cherno and the door gunner shot me down. My friend (CaptainCrunch) was a sniper on the silos and killed them with his AS50 when they landed and tried to go loot my dead body. I respawned in Cherno and stole THEIR chopper, picked up my friend, and flew away. ...About 5 minutes later, the [ETW] clan owner restarts the server and causes us to lose the chopper (since vehicles do not save anymore). That's such fucking bullshit. CaptainCrunch legitimately killed them and they restart the server causing us to lose a chopper. The server had only just restarted like an hour ago. They intentionally restarted it to fuck us over in a fair battle. What a bunch of poor sports. When you're not trying to avoid hackers, ALT+F4ing dick heads, there's always abusive admins that restart the server when it's beneficial to the clan. /le sigh

2 helicopters per server actually

lol whoops. Double post.

Fair enough. I use to manage a server myself on Zombie Panic! Source and it can be difficult to accurately detect hackers and deal with them properly. I suppose I can't fault you for that since DayZ is just riddled with 'em. I just want you to know, even though we don't see eye-to-eye on this particular event, I do give you credit for coming on here to discuss it. Hopefully once BattleEye gets improved or the standalone is released, it'll be easier for admins to do their job fairly and stop this sort of thing in the future.

Assuming that you are the server owner, thank-you for coming on the forums to address the issue. I really don't believe you were experiencing problems with hackers that night... But it's a nice excuse. FACT #1: There were only 8 people out of 30 on the server. Me, CaptainCrunch, 4 of your clan members, and 2 random people. Also, hackers typically only target high-population servers. FACT #2: Only a couple people were killed over the course of the hour (including one of your clan members - I believe your door gunner since he had no loot on his body) - indicating that no one was teleporting and mass-killing the server. Again, not a sign of hackers. If I had to guess, you probably thought WE were hackers seeing as how we fixed a helicopter at the same time as you guys. Hence: So just because you have a hunch, that automatically means to restart WITHOUT any proof? Besides, even if we were hackers, couldn't we just rejoin and spawn another helicopter? I don't understand the significance of restarting the server. It doesn't stop hackers. :s FACT #3: Asides from 1 clan member, no one else from [ETW] rejoined the server after restarting it. So why restart it unless it was to intentionally screw us over? Even then, why make it so obvious? All of your clan members rage quit after 2 died THEN, 5 minutes later, it restarts? Come on. Seriously? FACT #4: You did not post an admin global message warning of the server restart. Even if you did, and we had time to save it, the hive is NOT saving vehicles currently. FACT #5: I'm not the only player with complaints about your server and admin abuse. If you would've come on here, confessed, and promised to regulate server restarts (Example: "Server restarts will only happen at 12:00AM EST and 12:00PM EST") then perhaps you would gain the trust of more players. But when you restart the server sporadically in excess of 4+ times per day, you wonder why I can't say I'll be visiting your server again anytime soon.

Of course not. In this instance though, I'd like to go invisible and cuss out the admin and clan members over direct chat and kill them for intentionally restarting the server. >:( But no, I don't agree with using hacks for malicious purposes. Ruins the game. Like I said in my earlier post, I've always been an honest and fair player.

I loved this story. Thanks for sharing bruuu!

This one is my fave: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFGM81i5eYA

-_-

You wouldn't happen to be a member of the [ETW] Elektro Total War clan, would you?

Unfortunately 99% of hacker/abusive admin reports fall on deaf ears. :( I'm in the same boat as you.

To be honest, I'm actually considering purchasing hacks after this bullshit to take out my wrath on these jerk-offs. I've always been a fair player in every game I play but this is just pathetic. And good on you. I support what you said about using hacks in this manner.

MORE INFO: (also notice that they restart the server almost every hour...WTF?) Below image taken from: http://dayzmonitor.com/server_info/16146.html

Added :)

Ahhh. Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. :)

Having a message saying "<playername> was killed by <playername>" would make it easier to identify hackers that are teleporting and killing random people. If this is possible, it's too bad that not all severs have it. What's the name of your server? I'll play there if you can set this up.

It seems like all the servers are fucked. It's not even worth getting a vehicle anymore because they hardly ever save. Something must be done about this but not before dealing with the graphical artifacts and hackers, of course.
