Ive read the same thing somewhere but i know it to be un-true. We have left vehicles untouched for weeks and weeks and they stay exactly where they are.

How do you know where all the vehicles are?

Shouldn't drive past the burning wreckage of a bus; Or drive right into two destroyed vehicles... And you certainly shouldn't attempt to investigate said wrecks, might just find a lonesome satchel charge.

Hmm I would rather it this way - tents saving properly is more important to me than people having vehicles. I found a base on our server with thermal AS50's which I happily destroyed and am killing some of these crazy overpowered tents with NV style gear in them I find around elektro and cherno. Players who play with us on TS are playing more cautiously because they know the gear on them can go at any point... much more fun. Our server seems more popular than ever, and we have no choice as we go through multiplay anyway :¬D

Now, when I first started playing DayZ, It was just QQ about bandits, campers, and glitches. Now it's QQ about glitches, Hackers, weak admin, and the general sense of little progress in BE. Has anyone noticed the amount of spam in the forums? where are the mods? people linking porn, food, shopping and fake id's and passports? Really? Hacking went from hacked weapons to carpet bombs to hacked in vehicles to weapon crates to god mode/teleporting/thunder dome. Its just progressively getting more sophisticated, more apparent, yet unpunished. why is DayZ getting hit so hard? In game, and the forums? Now, i know it's hard to get proof for bans when they are so sophisticated that the are not showing up as events in the servers logs, but shouldn't you be able to tell someone is hacking in the logs if the event shows the player in different areas at getting there in improbable times? Every one dies in a server except a couple of choice people, it'd be obvious who initiated the .exe, right? To admins, I know you're swamped with this stuff all the time, but instead of "hey, do this admin!" , what can we do for you? How can us fellow bandits and survivors help you to save the game? Aside from "not hacking" and "use the search function" is there anything at all? I was in elektro, counter-sniping people on sniper hill, when a new spawn bandit appears out of nowhere and says "friendly, new spawn" just keeps talking to me while im scouring the hill. I see 2 people coming down, so I start firing at the two while the new "spawn" says "i'll get them. Instantly sprouts an as50, caps both of the guys. Zeds, storm us, i switch to my pistol, he goes "don't worry", and as each zombie clawed at him, they fell over dead. i'm like sheeeeeeeeeet, this guy is going to kill me now. All of a sudden, shots start hitting around us from the fire station, we start shooting. I'm hitting this guy, the hacker is hitting this guy, and then, the fire station enemy teleports right in front of us. Hacker guy laughs, message says "lol, hack too?" They procede to ask each other if they have team speak, and i stand up and take off on the other side of the hill and log out. Now there is going to be 2 bandits in god mode, weapon spawn and teleporting. Is none of that noticed or tracked in the logs? TL:DR. Grown up QQ about how shitty everything is being regulated.

Roll back to version 1.7.2.5 that is the only fix atm , if you want to keep all your Vehicles so you dont lose them for a week .... I Know you wont be able to save anything in your tents or Vehicles but I'd rather that then losing them.. If a hacker comes on and Teliports all the stuff you just do a restart and they will all be at the last save before you rolled back the server, on each restart ... Like "GROUND HOG DAY" cheers PainKiller

I'm not sure what happened, but I can say from experience that with the newest build the vehicles seem to be working correctly on my server, except for keeping fuel. But they are saving.

I Think there should be a function to lock doors on vehicles. If a door is already locked, then you should have to smash a window to unlock the vehicle, so that you can get into it. (on a side note, you should also be able to kill other people in the vehicle) (and before u ask. Yes, someone did get into my vehicle while I was in the passenger seat.)

So me and my buddy are playing DayZ Right? (Who would of thought). We find a server with 15-20 people on it and play for a while. Everything is good...no hackers in sight. We make it up to black mountain. We find 2 vehicles (VS3, and ATV)...both broken. So we set out to find some tires and whatnot. A good hour into our search and many SD clips later, we see like 5 people die. My friend is like "wounder if that is a hacker". Sure enough, we were teleported to an unknown part of the map...all of these non-hackers shooting each other, tensions running high. We both hop to the floor, and abort as soon as we can (What else could we have done in our situation). So we go to one of my other servers that i play to catch our bearings. Turns out that we were teleported to the North-West part of the map (Where the road ends). We had a good walk ahead of us if we wanted to get to our vehicles. First we decide to check the NW Heli/Ural spawns. We see a weird formation of rocks ahead of us. As the rocks drew closer, they slowly became camouflaged triangle shapes. There must have been 20+ of them. Filled to the teeth with any thing we could have wanted. We take our fill and go on our way (leaving hacked weapons behind). Headed south, checked the Heli spawn...same out come as always. Headed south again towards the Ural spawn. As we were coming over the hill...we saw her. Ol Betsy, our beautiful blue angel! We head back to the camp for any parts we could dream of to fix our girl up. Make our short trip back to the Ural. Fix her up, head back to the camp...filled her to the brim with all the legit weapons we could get our hands on, 10 ghillie suits, Ammo, Car parts, and food. Set the camp up with all the satchel charges we could find in the tents. Then let the fire works fly. Hacked weapons pulverized. And then drove off into the sunset. A good victory. My teammate is putting the video together...should be up tomorrow. Ill post it here. tl;dr: Teleported by hacker. Found a camp. Blew it sky high. EDIT:

We are not at war...we don't need MG nests...tanks, armed vehicles, attack helos and planes for CAS, actually we don't even need 90% the weapons that are in the game... If you want all this play vanilla ArmA 2.

Is it true?! Do tents and vehicles save now? Does that include when you repair them?! This makes the game worth playing again! Too bad I just got sniped at the airfield and lost my m16 w/ m203, GPS, and Camo clothing. :(

Id like to know this also as i feel all my vehicles on my server are gone as one minute they are there next they arent?

Scenario: 1. Spawned 2. Found a vehicle next to another 3. Fixed one and saved both vehicles 4. Drove off 5. Died 6. Respawned 7. Server Restarted 8. Went straight back within minutes 9. Both behicles gone? Is this because the server restarted or could this be a hacker collecting vehicles with a script? Im on the latest server version and dont really understand how vehicles spawn and when and where?

A while back on this server I found a camp. Ural, V3S, Uaz, just about every descent vehicle in the game. I searched them, and wow was I supprised. each truck filled with every single gun in the game, and a lot of scripted in guns. The one truck had some satchel charges inside. I lined up all the vehicles and blew them all to hell. I'm sure it made that little hacker mad, but he'll probably just do it all again. Server was US 100 new jersey. I believe it has been taken down now.

So it seems like a hacker teleported all the vehicles in a middle of ocean. Is there a way to fix this or does the server need a fresh restart?

New server? VEHICLES!?!?!?

40 minutes of running paid off: It's still there. Thank you so much for posting this. I got an M4A3 CCO SD, NVGs, a GPS, and ANTIBIOTICS!!! These were literally the only things I was missing to have the best gear in the game. All of the vehicles are gone, by the way. But there is still an SVD Camo, M249, DMR, M4A3 CCO, M16A3 M320, and Camo Clothing along with other goodies. Only one more pair of NVGs. 2 more GPSs. The server is totally empty as of right now, so I didn't get sniped by anybody. Thanks, once again!

Yesterday on DE2271 were something similar. A friend died and spawned on the very west of the south coast. As he walked to cherno, there were a place with some guys and all the vehicles. I thought that they were hacker and we left the server after my friend reached the next forest. But this seems very similar to your scenario.

So in my camp we have a total of 3 vehicles, a V3S Civ, a UAZ, and the Huey. After each server restart they all seem to lose the amount of fuel they had when they were saved. It is a little annoying because going from my camp to the nearest fuel station is a fairly long journey, and filling the Huey to fly around takes too long. Having to do this every server restart is impossible. Please post here is you are having the same problem, or have any advice.

I saw one about a RP server it looked kind of fun but it didn't really pique my interest at all. I've been messing around in the Arma II editor though. Flying, crashing, driving, and shooting vehicles and it's pretty fun.

I am thinking it is random. There have been times my clan was fanned out 15 strong in all 4 corners and found nothing in 2 hours of searching and then on a fresh restart poof all 3 are there. All we can figure is its either random now or there is a bug like the restart bug where vehicles and tents vanish. EDIT: You you are running on a home sever like myself so restart that bitch,if you are hopping servers and finding nothing then you are just having bad luck.

Yesterday I got into my helicopter to move to a new location and when I pressed Q to take off I got teleported to Cherno along with every other vehicle on the server. I know it wasn't a hacker because I was the only person on the server at the time. I figured it was a glitch so I did a manual restart to return all the vehicles to their previous positions before they got teleported. After the server restarted all the vehicles disappeared, I assume they went back to their previous locations, as the two at my camp did, so I think all is well. Just a random glitch that happened.

Quick question: I have rented a server (virtual machine) hosted by multiplay.co.uk. Each time server restarts for various reasons (like "too much memory used for one player", etc) we lose all tents and eventually a vehicle if we have managed to find and start to repare one. Is that normal? or the restart in general should wipe everything not stored in inventory or a backpack? If this is normal I have no point to look for vehicles or store things, etc. lol

Slightly annoying, but better than the vehicles/tents not saving. We've taken to leaving a pair of Jerry cans in each vehicle. It's not ideal, but welcome to DayZ :)
