So yesterday about 16 hours ago, some hacker came onto the server I go onto and blew up all the vehicles bar the bikes which cannot be blown up as they have no fuel (however they were damaged in both wheels and hull) He then put in this mortal combat script that disappeared after a restart. The good part is the admin managed to ban about 10 people for hacking in vehicles as well they were all gone for over 15 hours and people were still using some. Bad news is there has been a few restarts since and no vehicles have respawned as of yet, now can anyone tell me if there is a timer or do we have to wait for the hive admins to click a button? I mean it does allow people to find hackers very much easily but we also want to go back to enjoying the game and if a hacker can destroy them with a script why do they take so long to reappear?

Well good for banning more hackers. Depressing for the regular players :(.

I love it this should be a feature xD

If you used third person you will miss most the time. Also if you have pain and the recoil of that gun your going to have a bit of trouble hitting anything that isn't next to your nozzle.

If you hide behind a tree your heat sig vanishes and well the bullets can't hit you. Also if you change your sprint key (W*2) to something else you can sprint circles around them and they can't hit you for anything. If anything the gun is good for taking out helicopters and spotting it's not a very good gun for killing.

I think he's trying to point out that is where people may store their helicopters and bases. Though not so good if you have no PBX.

So it's obvious we have a massive hacker problem. Not to meantion players who ghost and alt-f4. So if anyone ever played Warcraft 3 there was a program called banlist which was a community run banlist that allowed hosts to keep abusive players off their servers/games. Now what I want to know is do we have one in the works and if not why not?

Same thing happened on our server. There was some guy hacking so the server was taken down, so we are not sure if it's result of a hacker or the hive being desynced. Whelp :( *edit* Trying a double restart now read that it could work but not high of hope.

Zombies can also make you bleed and break your bones just by looking at you funny. They can spot you behind buildings while prone randomly and they will chase you forever. It's alpha and still a better love story than twilight.

No you can just hide behind a tree like everyone else.

Those hacks are used by Battleye bypasses and avoid the detection allowing the user to enter all kinds of code. This sounds interesting can you give a link?

I dont get it.

Right "stolen" not I was banned for hacking and purchased a new CD key, how does I get unbanned?

I've heard this said many times but it doesn't seem to be the case. Personally I think any tents/vehicles should be automatically moved back to the border after a restart. However I know most people hide their stuff at stupid distances off the map only to log on a few times a day to refresh them which honestly sucks. So is it acceptable to keep your tents and stuff 5KM off the map so no one can find them?

Well what I would be intrested in is when a user banned on someone else's list joins it says. "Warning player GUID *****2424 previously banned on US1234 by <name> <reason> <date>" That way when the player joins people know a) he's probably a hacker and B) they server admin can choose to add them to their ban list.

Because game is in alpha, not beta. Maps like skins are not important as getting the core gameplay working.

So if people go afk forever then what? I'm sorry I do not think you have thought this through so well. Also weapons should not be rare ammo should.

It's mostly so popular because well dupes but also people lose them all the dam time. Like when people to take the gun to the main cities and shoot new players till someone puts a hatchet into their head and takes the gun. This was one of my first experiences, though sadly very shortly after I got mobbed by zombies after firing it once at another player.

So what happens if they just go to another server?

What? The problem ended ages ago As the dotjosh said he was hosting a cached list while the gamespy servers were having a issue.

Because passwords are unhackable? They are just trying to show how cool they are, in reality most of them shouldn't even be playing the game but you know as such is life. Just ignore hackers log off reset the server and carry on.

I'm not sure if you are stupid, young or a combination of the two. Graphics have not improved much in the past 10 years, however I'm sure someone could add shaders and improved texture resolutions to make it look "HD" but for a game made 3-4 years ago it's still pretty good for what it is.

See if the server restart fixes it but some servers just get worse with time.
