When I get 45-50 people on my server, which happens almost nightly, it's taking somewhere along the lines of 6-10 minutes for a character to create. Is this normal with this many people on a server? Do things get caught up and need to be restarted, or is it just taking so long because of the amount of people on? Thanks.

My server is through HFB. I'll message them and see if they can do anything about it. Thanks, guys.

Yeah, that wasn't a hacker. That's just what happens sometimes when you get hit. Well, the teleport was, but not the death scene. And agreed, scripters are annoying....

Try 2302 to 2305 UDP.

Are you sure it was hacker controlling? Sometimes when you pass out, you still will crawl around. Also, when you have the hour glass, you can't respawn, abort or do anything else like that. Prevents people from exiting when they're unconscious and having a friend meet them to revive them. I'm guessing he didn't control you, though there are hacks that will make you dance....

General age of child?

Can you port forward the router somehow for the servers you are playing on? I've had issues like that before with games when two people on the same wireless are playing the same game, usually the same room/server. Port forwarding fixed it. But I have two brothers in my clan that play on the same wireless every time they play dayz, and have never had an issue. It's possible that the game is pulling more bandwidth than other games you play. You might also look into latency fixes.

Find a home hive, even if it isn't private. We run our own public hive and my character lived for 50 days before I was stupid and got killed by zombies. Haven't been killed on my own server in 2 months, though I do have hackers. But I can kick them as soon as I find them, and that helps, ha. And yes, my server is usually maxed out every night, and I still haven't been killed by a hacker in a good long while.

Run Arma 2 OA as admin on your computer using your account. It should switch out the keys. Do it on your laptop, too. Make sure they're the same key.

Try turning off programs like setpoint. That's what causes my games to minimize...annoying as hell. Zombies chasing after me, oh look, my desktop....

Submit your IP address. Most bans get submitted with IP addresses, and if it was your cd-key that was stolen, it wouldn't be associated with your IP.

Why not see if someone can set up some sort of a system where players can find admins? For example, a website where server admins can register that they are the admins of such and such server. Then a player can simply go there, find the server, and message the admins? Or even just an area in the forums where server amdins can throw up a thread saying which servers they admin? Cause forum search works with the thread name....

As I pm'd you, Peter, you threw logs into my setpos.log, showing that you were teleporting. Sorry....

2017 is supposed to be a continuation. Do they have more storyline or lore on their site?

The MI7 spawns at devil's castle. Not sure where the AN2 spawns, as we've only found it full fixed.

If it's choppy with a lot of people, then yeah, it's the internet connection to the server. Some people like private hives because usually there is better control over the hacker situation and because things are usually tweaked to fix or add. Like 150 vehicles spawn. Or you can't fall through walls. That sort of thing. But I'm with you, public hives to play multiple servers. Try different servers. If it's still choppy, then I'd look at your internet connection.

Yeah, some of us get motion sickness with first person after 30 minutes of playing. We like our third person, thanks.

You the same OFC from warrock? With cheif and them?

Use dayz commander. I'm looking at a ton of public hives right now. (Also, did you make sure all your filters were off?)

A lot of times admins don't log in when they're in game, or if they're like me, I run my rcon tool on my second monitor while I play whatever game I'm playing that night. You can try just typing in direct chat to the admin (or side if they have it). They might get it. You can also post on this forum about contacting the server admin, or search the servers name on here/google. If you search google for my server name, you'll find me as the admin easily. Always worth a try.

So find an unpopulated server and start learning to survive like the rest of us did. Not all of us found a group at the beginning, though this game is a lot more fun with a group. The only thing that changed since you saw the videos is that you don't get a gun and the zombies are a bit more sensitive. Start out in small towns, or run up a road and find a barn. Learn to sneak around zombies, or learn to avoid them. They stop running in buildings. Hatchets are the easiest weapon to find in barns and are very effective. Once you've figured out small towns and rural areas, start going to the big city where you can find awesome loot. I didn't step off the coastal towns for a good few weeks, until I learned how to evade zombies, find stuff, what stuff I need, and which towns are which. It has a steep learning curve, but it isn't that hard to learn. Don't be afraid to die. Stick to unpopulated servers at first. And like someone said, lose zombies in buildings, trees, and steep hills.

Found. Banned. Guid is 9960c9a609e02dc05168e2ef3e0e3cc6.

Small clan, usually 3-5 on. We start after 10 pm with some weekend day time. Some are into pvp, some aren't, we just do whatever. Have our own server, ts3, and are a mature clan (no kids). PM me if you're interested.

We found a whole cache of hacked in vehicles today just outside of elektro, including 4 helis, 3 of which aren't even dayz helis. We ran out of ammo before we could blow them all up. Barely made a dent in the helicopters. And I can't find anything in the logs about who hacked these in.....server restart doesn't do anything to them.....and we couldn't fix them up to move them outside the map without getting ourselves killed. What do you, as server admins, do when you find a vehicle you know is hacked in? And where do you find them in the logs?

lol that was a plan, parachute out, but we had 12 people on the server by that point, and within the hour we had over 30. here was no way we could fix up 4 helis outside of elektro and survive....
