Most cheaters buy their keys from cheap third party websites. I doubt Steam would ever start banning users because the credit card they used was also used to purchase a different game that has previously been banned by a different anti cheat service, apart from being ridiculously easy to circumvent using a different payment method, how would this possibly work with adding keys to steam not purchased via steam, gifting games to other people on steam etc? If I gift someone a copy of DayZ and they cheat, do I suddenly lose all my games purchased with that CC? Not to mention the DayZ mod doesn't need steam at all, and we have no idea if the standalone game will either. It's a flawed solution that would be impossible to implement.

It's impossible

How do you port over bans when you have no possible way of linking them?

Takes about 30 seconds to create a new steam account, not to mention DayZ doesn't even use VAC so that would be impossible.

Yes, they use the same cd key.

You can argue semantics, but in the video game world the term has come to be associated with cheating.

Use DayZCommander, click the star next to the server.

I click the update button in DayZCommander

Standalone, ArmA is designed to be open and trusting, it's why great mods like DayZ exist, that can't be changed until standalone.

Moved to cheat reporting.

Download servers are probably getting hammered. I wouldn't think it would be that big, it's usually pretty slow whenever patches are released, I think they were planning on letting Vilayer look after them but don't know if that's happened yet.

Take it out! It currently serves no purpose.

Tried adding the ip/port manually?

Maybe they rolled back because a lot of players haven't updated yet?

Sounds like you are joining private hive servers, marked with a cloud with a x on DayZCommander.

Moved to bug reporting.

Use DayZCommander, it's better regardless.

Try updating BattleEye manually. Nevermind, didn't read you already tried that.

No idea, I can ask.

They already are, you just need to point your wheels to the sky and reverse, takes a minutes or so but it seems to always work.

Check the announcement forums. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/87541-pending-update-build-1726/

The day this happens is the day I stop gaming.

The standalone alpha is already being heavily discounted.
