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 :( )

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.

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!

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Time/Date: 2:32 AM EST // 8/6/2012 (Server was in Night Mode) Sever: Has goodwrench in the name. So about an hour before my friend and i ended up being killed by a hacker in the Western woods near the NW airfield. We were prone in some undergrowth, in ghillie suits, we heard 2 shots one for him and one for me and we died. :( oh wellz. Anyway i Respawned on a new server and ended up on the west side of cherno, I decided to do a loot run starting from the market --> Firestation --> Residential buildings --> Church. However when i first came to the market everything seemed to be looted so i knew there had been someone within 10 minutes there. When i started to come out the back entrance of the market i saw a road flare go up at the Firestation. I didn't have any weapons so i decided to go balls deep. I began to crouch run towards the station when i saw someone come out with a lee einfield, i shouted "Friendly" and he said "Okay, thats cool". I asked him if he was the one who lit the road flare and he said yes. As i started running away, i noticed he was going to the market so i told over voice that someone had already been there and to watch out. Considering he didn't KoS, i decided to help him out with that tip. However as i was running away past the wall leading to a residential building i turned around to see him take a shot, i sprinted into the building and lucky enough there was a 1911 45 colt in there, i grabbed the hand cannon and the 2 mags, quickly reloaded and went out the back entrance. I started flanking his last known position and came around the front of the market, thinking he would still be in there i charged in. As i was entering i looked into the back right corner closest to the windows, and with my gamma turned up i saw the fringes of a ghillie suit, I actually gasped in real life, he must've panicked too because he took a shot at me with a m107 and missed, I Unloaded 5 Shots into him and watched him drop, I saw a kill confirm on the bottom left and i thought i was good! All of a sudden i hear an AKM go off from the back of the store, and someone hits me and drops me to 8k. I instantly run behind cover and reload and look for him, I see him the back right corner and he starts popping off shots from behind the Stall in the back of the market. Here's a Screenshot of positions (It was also way darker at the time, this screenshot is after the actual event on another server) I take about 20 seconds to collect myself and figure out how to deal with someone with a fully automatic while i had a 1911 with only 9 bullets left. (The 1911 i picked up only had 2 mags with it). All of a sudden he stops firing, and everything goes silent. I figure he might've d/c'd so i peek to the right and immediately he fires off 2 shots, good thing it was dark as shit because he missed a perfect opportunity to kill me. Once again we're at a standstill, i'm getting super twitchy because zombies are slowly starting to swarm the building and if anyone was within a 500 meter radius of the store they would've heard the first shot. I figure i might as well go all out and i stand up to unload my .45 bullets of carnage at the mother fucker, when i realize i can't see him anymore. Once again i figure maybe he pussied out and actually left the server, however a 2nd look around the back and i noticed something, in between the 2 stalls at the back, apparently you can actually see through it and i saw him prone going closer to his friends body. Here's what it looked like: There was no way i was going to let him pick up that m107 so i unloaded into that crack, but i didn't see a kill confirm on the bottom left. I figure i missed, and reloaded back to my first mag with the 2 bullets in it. I see no movement, so i rush towards the back. Lo and behold the asshat is unconscious so i pop the last of my 2 bullets into his fucking face and breathe a sigh of relief, All of a sudden i hear 2 really fucking loud shots, from the north of the market towards the hill. The windows shatter as i prone instantly and go still. I switch to third person in order to see out the window while prone, i then realize i have no gun so i frantically try to get the damn inventory system to work on the dead bodies. The Bandit #2 had an AKM with 7 rounds left so i said fuck it, i move up to the first guy in the ghillie i killed, and guess what! I find his M107 with 5 mags, NVG AND Rangefinders. I quickly equip the NVG and m107 and stick myself to the back left corner. About 2 minutes later, i see movement. I peek through the windows and see a guy in a ghillle suit run past the house to the north west of the market. Here's the location in a picture: He Proned his way to the final position, i took the kill shot when he actually crouched to also take a shot at me. I actually ended up waiting a good 5 minutes before daring to move outside to check his body. After hiding all their bodies and picking up what i could i ended up with, m107 w/ 5 rounds, m4a1 Holo w/ 4 stanag mags + m203 he + Flash grenades, m9 SD with 2 clips, Coyote Backpack (24 slot one), Rangefinders, NVG, GPS, full range of necessities and medical supplies! That was the most epic start i've ever had in a life in DayZ. Thanks for reading!! edit: I have another story as well, if you look at my posts i'll have more incoming

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

i do have a livestream tho @ twitch.com/deitictv

yeah sadly i don't run around with fraps on :(, dayz runs really bad for me lately would've been almost unwatchable.

yup on either side that was pleasant lol

thanks fellas!

Hey guys, i've been around the block. At some point in the game I've had every weapon/item available. Also at some point i eventually lost everything and restarted multiple times. Such is the game called DayZ. However i'm at the point where playing by myself or waiting for friends with RL priorities is getting boring. I love the game, but rolling solo isn't cutting it anymore. It's time to upgrade my experience. I'm ready to get some gear, and start murdering potential wealthy looking bandits. I'm not into killing FoBbies (Fresh of the boaties), however I won't back away from freaking someone out by sneaking up to a fresh spawn and yelling at them through voip and scaring the shit out of them. My policy on killing seemingly fresh looking players is to call out to them, if they don't do as directed shoot them in the fucking head. I've done this multiple times and i can say i've only had to kill about 20% of the time. It's not like i get a power-trip or anything out of it, it's just that roaming solo isn't really that fun after a while. So I have my own mumble server so i have communication on lock however there are some important aspects i'd like in fellow players that want to team up with me: 1. Must speak and understand English. 2. Must be active. 3. Must be over the age of 20. (I can tell if you're not, its not very difficult) 4. Must be looking to achieve some sort of tactical realism in the game. I prefer to be discreet when possible, so we may spend a lot of time scoping out areas, and setting up ambushes. 5. Must be able to let loose sometimes, meaning i'm not looking for super tryhard carebears. I like to fuck around sometimes too, and that may lead to our deaths however, respawning and getting revenge is also part of this wonderful mod we call DayZ. 6. OBVIOUS REQUIREMENT: Must have a mic, and not some cheap 99 cent one that makes you sound like megatron, if you intend to spend hours with me, I better like your fucking voice. (lol) 7. Must have equal if not more experience in the game, i'm not intending on carrying players. Anyway hit me up here or pm me on forums, if i don't seem like someone you could hang with have a nice time in Chernarus!
