Correction, and probably a portion of them are the same players getting banned multiple times on $2 copies. Only happens when the said hackers aren't using bypasses or use free bypasses. Regretfully the hackers who nuke your servers on the other hand aren't getting banned nearly as easily, those people usually pay money for their tools.

It's a pretty weak card. Expect to run the game on low, and don't expect to run the game anywhere close to the native resolution of the retina screen.

Good on roofs and in forests, bad everywhere else.

Well, that's $2 out of all their pockets. The unique player count increases by another 146.

Poor argument. There is a huge difference between "have hackers" (e.g. WoW) and "full of hackers" (e.g. DayZ). Very few online games have as many hackers as DayZ. Trying to downplay the problem won't contribute to any improvement. Last I heard ARMA 3 engine also relies heavily on scripts, as such it will probably also be very vulnerable to hacking. Whether hacking will be as common as DayZ in Arma 2 or not will depend on: 1) how great the cheat-detection system is; 2) how much a copy of ARMA 3 costs. Currently BattlEye is rather poor at detection, and completely useless at prevention, which isn't what it was built for. Further ARMA 2 keys can be cheaply obtained at $2 a piece, rendering global ban of any kind practically meaningless.

If only it's that easy.

That's the only part I don't know. However the rest of it are easily explained. Hackers can change a server's time, weather, rain, view distance, etc. Of course, hackers also have break leg and kill commands which explain your subsequent death. Last but not least, it's easy to bullshit.

That's a hacker playing a death animation. Hackers can play animations, including death (with flies and all) while retaining full control. What he did was simply playing the animation, then held down Alt and looked in your direction.

I'm curious about something though. Obviously even with the head morphs, existing skins won't be removed. How will the head morph work with ghillie suits?

Obviously it's the option that's not shoot on sight, so... talk I guess?

1. Zombies respawn VERY quickly on green mountain. A trip up and down the tower and you can expect a full spawn. 2. Hackers like to scare and/or kill people who go to green mountain.

Hackers can teleport other players, can spawn weapons on other players, and rumour has it that they can even spoof their name to be that of other players' on the same server. Of course the Innocent players themselves certainly didn't execute the scripts, but in cases where log isn't available anyhow due to good (i.e. not free) bypasses, and the only evidences are screenshots/videos, then I suppose it's possible that an Innocent player can be banned in some cases. Hell, the hacker can even pretend to be legit and be the one to provide the screenshots/videos!

They are using legitimate copies. It's simply that they are buying them at prices around $2 per copy. Since that's a lot cheaper than a paid subscription for bypasses, bans are pretty much pointless against hackers.

This game isn't ready for such a buffer, not for a long while. Right now Alt+F4 is the only defense against hackers. Until hackers can be eradicated into a tiny minority, Alt+F4 should stay the way it is.

That I don't know. You'll want to ask the admin, or at least on the AUSARMA forums.

Found another one:

Pretty common. It's just a give gear hack, the opposite of delete gear hack.

Turn down your settings. Day Z can be a very very demanding game. Here are my specs, and here are the specs I have to run on to stay constantly at 60 fps: Specs Intel i5 2500k 3.8Ghz 8GB DDR3 Dominator GT RAM GTX680 superclocked Settings Texture Detail: High Video memory: Very High Anosotripoc filtering: High Antialiasing: Off Terrain detail: High objects detail: High shadow detail: High HDR quality: Very High Post processing effects: Normal Interface res: 2560x1440 3D res: 2560x1440 I have SMAA enabled instead of traditional AA, since it looks pretty much identical and hardly eats up performance like regular AA.

ANZ 1 has one of the tightest securities for a public hive server. Sometimes you get kicked even if you aren't hacking, but if you are... well, they have more ways to deal with hackers than most other servers. It's a good choice for a server, as long as you are fine with getting scanned and stuff when logging in like entering the states as a foreigner.

Nope. =/ It would be nice though if there is such a script.

Sounds familiar? The rest of the clips: http://www.youtube.com/user/justxrippedn1ck/videos

It's also possible that a hacker used one single script to destroy all the tents on the server.

Well, in that case then the banwaves are simply formalities meant to appease the whining playerbase, so that the devs can have something to point at and say "we are doing something". Regretfully in terms of practical effect banwaves do nothing to deter nor prevent hacking. If a hacker has enough spare change for a hotdog with drink, then he can simply get back on his feet. While it's impossible to completely eradicate hacking, there are countless games with superior anti-cheats which go beyond merely "ban them later". Diablo 3 for example instantly kick you off server (then ban you later) if you start using hacks. BattlEye is bad. It's unfair to justify its terribleness just because other anti-systems aren't perfect, even though they are vastly superior.

There is a third choice which increasingly people are starting to take - become a hacker.

The ban waves are pretty pointless. You can buy ARMA 2 keys in bulk at $2 a piece, although I suspect that the keys were stolen (though I doubt hackers care about that).
