yo do realize scripting is basically manipulating codes for certain objects or stats in a game like dayZ right?. Everything is a line of code. That's what programming is. "Obfuscation" is definitely security in the long run. 90% of the hackers in Dayz are probably public bypassers, or players that buy a bypass from actual hackers. IF they're forced to wait hours before being able to play without hacks eventually they will lose interest. Once again constant Obfuscation is the best form of security. It's used in all sorts of places and it works. Hacking a game like DayZ isn't exactly hard. Especially when you know what you're looking for. But trust me, I've seen real hackers hired by capital companies get thwarted by simple randomizing programs. If a program can do it enough, and do it well. The only way to stop it would be to directly connect to that program and stop it from the inside. I can guarantee no hacker with the ability to completely mask their presence on the internet while they're back dooring a secure client side server is wasting their time hacking DayZ. You can't even call scripting hacking. You can read a book about scripting in 3 hours and achieve something like a kill command or weapon spawn system in DayZ.

Anti-cheat programs like punkbuster, battleye, etc. Don't really do anything towards stopping hackers. They can bypass those programs within an hour of releasing a patch. So here's a real way to stop them First of all, everything a game adds up to is basically codes. The hackers are using programs to detect these lines of codes, and using said codes to do whatever they want. So the real and only viable way to minimize hacking would be to have some sort of program randomize code lines for everything from weapons to health every day. Now i understand how huge the undertaking would be to make something like this happen. The program would have to randomize every code, and register those codes to their appropriate directories to keep the game working in full order. However, this is honestly the only way to stop casual hackers from doing whatever they want. It's impossible to stop dedicated hackers, but at least with randomizing codes every day, eventually they'll just get tired of spending hours a day trying to get the codes then being only able to play the game with them for a little while. ~Deitic (This is for the Dayz Standalone btw, the current DayZ mod is just too far gone :( )

urm....go play CoD? Did you REALLY say that? I can understand the "Hacker" Accusation considering you're probably part of the 80% that can't use iron sights in this game. Learn to play with friends kthnx.

pretty much. seems fair.

Well title says it all, lived for around 3 days. We had a heli and everything, got to 72 total kills and poof hacker kill commands us. POOPFACE!

How would we need what a real sniper needs? IS that a question stepping into realism? Lets end this quickly. Any high powered rifle of the "Sniper rifle" Caliber will either kill or incapacitate a person with ONE shot. (Anyone getting hit by a DMR hell even a CZ 550 with no body armor, or actually even with body armor isn't getting up to fight anytime soon in a real life scenario.) OBVIOUSLY this is a game, so there's some sort of balancing issues they needed to make on guns so that not every weapon will be a 1 shot kill. Just stick to your IN GAME opinions and lets not try and make sense of gun metrics in dayz compared to real life now shall we?

i know this patch wasn't meant to stop hackers, but shit i thought it would hold them off for a day or two

Just got killed by some invisible due in DE 1026 with the 1.7.2.5 BE UPdate and 95883 server update. Hacker killed my friend in US 405 as well. Friend killed someone driving a yellow hatchback in cherno, and was killed commanded a min later.

So i did a manual patch to 95883, it took 17 min to download 9 megabytes of data. But i was willing to go through with it hoping that this would alleviate my encounter with hackers. So i sat there and took it like a man. After it was done, i was like YES time to extract and get onto dayz again! However when i started the patcher, this picture came up... (9 MB IS ALOT? THIS ISNT THE 1980's BITCH) I read that line in red, and i made the Face. Then i blinked and it was done. I got trolled, pretty hard.

you can check the logs, and sorry about the wrong forums i'm just frustrated. my group had finally found a car, and now we can't even get back onto the server.

i saw a couple of these Fwort kids die, and they started banning everyone off their server.

son54 so mad

nvm i can't get dayz to run in my full native in windowed mode...can't stream it i guess

thanks

well haters will hate
