The "good" news is that everybody have this shit now. This is the result of duping for months. Now you feel like a bum if you dont find NVG + GPS + Rangefinder + L85AWS + AS50 within 10 minutes...

Sometimes i can play many days without any problems. And sometimes i get teleported (or other shit like this) 3 times in a row. So i think you have luck. The more players are connected to the server, the higher is the risk that a hacker comes to troll all of them. Maybe you choose servers with a few players ? A other point is that hackers often troll the hotspots of the map (electro, cherno, NW-Airfield, Stary, etc...). If you play the peacefull survivor somewhere in the deep forest, then you might be more rarely a potential target for a hacker. I envy you for your luck ! :)

My favorite running gag playing dayz: Bandit (less then 5 minutes after been fresh respawned): nice !!! i just found a coyote backpack and a lot of good stuff to do into it !!! what a lucky day !!! [...a few minutes later...] Survivor: woot ?! fuck... hint (for those who don't understand the joke): the Bandit and the Survivor are the same player... (humanity bug)

The alternative route is to do nothing, to clean the gigabytes of logs manualy each day, and leave the high performance server run with low fps and with more and more vehicules that no one can longer be able to use. Bro, it's not that complicated: * do nothing: permanent bad game experience for ALL players on our server. * restart the whole server in administration mode to save the vehicules without be disturbed by bandits: against the official administration rules AND ALL connected players are affected. * kick the one bandit who prevent us from doing our "work" for 10 minutes: ONE player affected for a very short time It's easy to pretend we are doing it wrong, without saying how to do it better... ...there is NO clean administration solution to this problem. We HAVE to do it ingame. It is a big pain in the ass. So, what you are saying is not that wrong: it IS our problem cause we spent a lot of time trying to assure a well server performance for all connected players (us included. i know, it is a shame... o.O). I have already apologized to the affected player for the inconvenience, so what's your problem ?!

A multicore server with 8 gigabytes of RAM (@Hamstafari: or was it 16, it don't know exactly ?) entirely dedicated to only one dayz instance and running with 5-10 fps, just because a vehicule are creating gigabytes of damage logs per day. Thx for the 2 cents , but our server is a bit more expensive than that... Btw: my personal goal is NOT to play dayz as a diving simulator. I was under water for administration purposes. So ridiculous it sounds, that's the harsh dayz administration reality...

Since we have to heal nearly daily our own (expensive) server from massive log spam (Gigabytes of logs per DAY !!!, due to sunken vehicules) with some ridiculous ingame "tricks", we can't take consideration of the players on the server anymore. This day, it was the 5th attempt (one hour of work !) to ramp under water with a broken leg (as a fresh-spawned unarmed SURVIVOR, not a bandit...), in the intention to save a crashed helicopter at the beach on electro. You killed me 2 or 3 times before (i guess it was you, it was always a guy in a ghuillie, coming each time from the same direction), so i took the liberty to give you a 10 minutes ban, just to have the time to finally accomplish my "mission". You can't imagine how frustrating it is to have to do such an unpleasant job, every day, before you can finally start playing. I am sorry, but sometimes we want to play too, you know? For you, it was just missed murder. For me it was one more ruined evening (btw, thx to the developers who ignore the weeks old bug ticket). But you could'nt know this, so I apologize that you took the ban personally. I would do it again, however, because this is the only way to get rid of such broken and unrepairable vehicules, and i don't have the time to wait for the grace of bandits who camp on coast and kill unarmed survivors. ;) Have nice Dayz...

Very nice one !!! xD

No, kinda "There is no more heli to take a screenshot from" !!! ^^ We can take down the complete damn forest with stachels/vehicles, but this will not fix the problem because on the next server restart all trees are back, with the exploding heli on top. AND THERE IS NO MORE HELI AFTER EXPLOSION, NOT EVEN A DESTROYED BODY (sorry for capslock, but i am tired to repeating this ^^).

it dont goes down ! Reset => top of trees => boom => no more heli (not even a crashed body... nothing !) => reset => top of trees....

@Erizid: i AM the server hoster, and a database reset just for saving one vehicle is not suitable imho @ZTrainz: thx for the link. may be i will try it out (i fear to lose 2 vehicles, but... no risk no fun ^^)

Same probleme here (FR 156). We CANT push them out with other vehicles, cause the heli respawns on the top of the trees on every server restart and explodes within a few seconds. After that, there is no body to save or push... and now ???

You claim not to be a cheater, and I believe you. So your ban on our server is removed now. Plz don't take / throw away such illegal weapons ! As we wrote on the welcome message, we will ban all players that connect to our server with non-dayz items/weapons. This is one of the very (very !) few instruments that we have to fight cheaters...

Ok, here is the trick: * Go to the chopper. * if you can't enter the chopper while swimming, ask someone to break your leg. * enter the chopper as pilot and let it blow up. * die * come back to the chopper * if you can't save the chopper while swimming, ask someone to break your leg. * save the chopper * wait for the next server restart, or restart it yourself if you can. * enjoy to see that the chopper doesnt spawn anymore under water * wait a week for the next chopper spawn at one of the spawn points

Haha I think I remember that evening. Ham has connected right in the market of electro. I heard him say on mumble "Sh*t, there's already someone in the market !". My answer: kill him! Ham killed the guy, but Ham and I were died too... of laughter ! And now I'm laughing again ! Thank you for that ! :D PS: our server is FR 156, not FR 159... you are welcome ;)

Same problem on my server. :( Entering as pilot blows instandly the heli up. No way to getting it out of water. After each restart it spawns on the same place under water, repairable but... And the real problem is, that the arma2oaserver.RPT file grows rapidly up to many Gigabytes due to the dammage messages of the underwater-heli. Must i realy go to the dark side and use a vehicle teleport hack, just for fixing the bugy heli ??!! ( as server admin ! on my own server !!! )
