Hi, to the first point: Didn't know that the DayZ Server cut the connection to the Hive themselves. Thought it was something made by Zap Hosting to set the Server into an idle-mode or something when it is not used by players. Too bad that the DayZ-Mod is currently not able to save vehicles. However, we manager to save two tents on our server, we now just have to sit and wait till de Dev-Team of DayZ fixes this huge bug.. to the second point: It took some time till your employee forwarded the problem, but yesterday the ticket has been closed with the problem solved (Was about the missing vehicles and stuff). Too bad that two tickets of us wasn't solved properly, but we managed it on our own. But I have to say you have a very very fast 24/7 Support! That is really nice and not something common! ----- Now that these problems are solved I have to say that Zap-Hosting is one of the best hosters I have ever been. We ordered our server and about an hour or so later it was already online! And that happened around 1 am (middle of the night). The 24/7 service is a huge advantage for customers without any experience and the web-interface of Zap-Hosting is easy to use, you don't need an explanation for that, it just goes on it's own. And a full FTP-access is granted too! If you are looking for a hoster Zap-Hosting offers really good prices and performance with fast support. Don't let you disturb by my first post!

How do you see inventory changing when interacting with vehicles/tents - these can contain far more items than a body, it looks like it might not be possible to avoid a scroll list. For example, the URAL holds hundreds of items easily.

- Username/Handle: im named house in teamspeak and Immortal in game - Age: 19 - Why do you want to join weRtherapists?: looking for skillful players like me, and teamwork is key to winning - What is your favorite role?: (Sniper? Bunny/Baiter/Looter? Support/Rifleman?): looter - How many hours of DayZ do you play on a daily bases?: 3+ - Do you Teamspeak?: yes - Do you have a microphone?: yes - Are you willing to kill another player sometime during your trial period to become an official member of the clan?: yes - Anything else you would like to add?: i love hunting for vehicles.

Well the only problems that will happen are tents don't save properly. All your gear and vehicles will still be there. But some servers have the problem where on 2.5 when they restart a server all the vehicles go back to their original spawn location.

Oh lookie lookie, yet another one of those videos with a group of players who have all the best weapons, gear and vehicles.

Vehicles yes we recently lost a chopper so i don't think the guys that currently have it would appreciate it if we wipe the server, in fact they would probably be like you and jump of the forums to QQ. Duped items, no. We payed for this server, we maintain it. So yes, we would like to know whether or not our map that we have been working on and fortifying will be wiped, we are trying to set up a trade post for other players, we have put quite a bit of effort into it. We are hoping to open it for public use, its all ready, however because we are on 1.7.2.4 no one comes on anymore, so our post is always quiet. If our gear has to be wiped then so be it. But I would at least like to know first. The new update is extremely bugged and we hoped a hot-fix would be released to fix it, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I would also appreciate if people like you wouldn't generalise all server admins to be the same and question my intent before you understand it. Our main concern as I have already said are the fortifications we have set up for our post. We have a few vehicles, but they are secondary.

I cannot thank you enough, man. I have been searching every day since lingor got popular for a zoom-able map that shows loot spawns and vehicles. Thank you!

LOL admins only thinking about themselves and their hoarded vehicles and duped items again.

1.7.2.5 doesn't wipe tents and vehicles. It is, however, buggy in that tents and vehicles will no longer save properly. Your remaining tents will be there, as will the vehicles. However, don't be surprised if your bike turns into a truck.

Hey guys, some friends and I own a server and we would like to update to the latest version. Only problem is apparently it wipes vehicles and tents. We have a few vehicles and tents to ourselves as im sure many of our players do. My question is this. If we update, will all vehicles and tents be wiped?? Thxs

Seriously? Wait a second, you can see what people pickup from the database? why don't you have it so the hacked weapons/vehicles are removed upon pick up or entry? <_<

I can tell you how we got the as50 because I was there when a hacker failed at killing 3 of us. He killed 2 and one managed to hit him and kill him, then he was banned. We looted his stuff of course. I'm not admin of the server and as an admin you don't get any other privileges other than ban and kick players, battle eye is all the same, you can get banned from battle eye for scripts and hacks from your own server, so there is no point to hack on your own server. As of the switching through versions, it seems that dayz 1.7.2.4 is better than 1.7.2.5 as of saving vehicles and tents actually work on .4 and don't work on .5 at all, so the reason of changing is that we can actually keep out items in our tents. As of all the vehicles we open a server and we all join and the first thing we do is establish a camp and get the cars we can. its not hacking its fucking smart you obviously want the advantage over players. Ask anyone if they do this and i guarantee they will say yes they go get a camp and get the vehicles then go out and kill zombies and PvP. If your so intent of destroying dayz servers keep following up this post and I urge others to be like you so no servers are on and we cant play this great mod. Its kids like you that destroy great games like this so no one can play, its like if you cant win no one can. its good people like him that have the fucking balls to purchase a server and keep the fucking game alive so people like you can go out of there way to shut a server down after you got kicked a few times. I don't understand why your making this such a big deal there are thousands of other servers join another one cry me a river and get the fuck over it.

When you log back in, you will be standing where you logged out. Chances are very good the bike will be gone...someone will have taken it. You don't login on a vehicle so there's no threat to you at all. Also, you cannot take vehicles to other servers. Your friend is experiencing part of the anti-server hoping code. If you log out and in fairly often from a server you're stuck with an unconscious timer. But it's fairly long, like 4 or 5 minutes? Sometimes it happens even when you don't logout and in rapidly. It's just a bug.

Hi guys. I am a somewhat seasoned DayZ player, except in the area of vehicles. I found an old bike and was derping around with my friend in the middle of a field I accidently started drifting off and started gliding along a player who was running in the opposite direction. I freaked out because I recently got a gillie suit and did not want to die, so I, without thinking, immediately signed off. I did not even get off the bike. The bike was stationary when I logged off. So my problem is, what is going to happen when I log back on? Will I just be in the same spot? Will I die if some took the bike and is going 30 down some road? Will it change if I go on to a different server from the one I was logged in to? Also a side note, whenever my friend joins a server, he instantly becomes passed out. Everything is fine (Blood, water, food etc...). He is passed out for about two minutes every time no matter what server he go's on. Any help with either of these two issues would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everybody, (Really hope I'm doing this right :o) Yesterday, around the evening I've been joining a streamer on twitch for running around as a group of people playing. We got killed by someone in the process, so - on a different server - those people transported me to my campsite. That's where I logged onto DE 2012 to pick up some gear again, but once I walked about a hundred meters towards my campsite where the vehicles and tent was I got kicked and banned from the server with no reason given. It's not that I mind starting over with new gear again since it makes up for the adventures that have made DayZ fun for me, but being banned for no legitimate reason sounds kind of weird to me. Would be great if this could be investigated. My Ingame name is "Stephano". I have no other means of contact, that's why I hoped this would help. The server is offline right now, but I'm fairly sure it'll be back up somewhen.. Atleast that's what I hope, because all my gear is up there.

Freeside Trading Co will be suspending our weekly trade events until further notice. We've come across a few issues that make it very expensive to do these ops:Hackers: I don't like to play the blame game, but the hackers suck ass. We've gone about 3 months every weekend regardless, but recently it's gotten really bad. The hackers really kill our morale more than anything, and these weekly trade events make us a rather large target. Tents and Vehicles: Since they don't save, there's no way for us to turn a profit. Every time we get a batch of items, we've got no place to store them. School: Many of our members are in college, and a new semester is starting. As such, we're somewhat short-staffed. This is a much more temporary problem; once the semester gets started and we get settled in, we should have more of our veteran manpower for ops. Now, this isn't to say we are closing shop. Far from it, in fact. We'll be devoting more of our time to working within the Coalition, and we're taking some time to make some internal adjustments. Freeside is still facilitating requested trades, and we're still a great place to find and sell gear. We're also starting up our mercenary division, so we'll be able to start filling contracts soon!It is still possible we will run occasional weekend trade events, but there will be no guarantee as to when that might be. Check the forums, we'll post here if we decide to do an event either the Wednesday or Thursday before the op. Times will be the same, but we may be trying out new locations. Once tents correctly save and the hackers have been more squashed out by the beta patches, we'll be back to our weekly schedule. Again, this does not mean Freeside is dead - we're just halting our weekend trade events.

Ok so, it's pretty clear you are fairly ignorant. And no, I'm not saying that to be mean nor degrade you at all. Maybe we should start with something basic. First of all, you don't see Hacks or Hackers in the game. A Hacker is the person who wrote the application being used to bypass BattlEye script detection. The application used is a Bypass and this is the Hack. The Bypass is run to unlock memory on the users machine, memory which the Arma2 game uses. Once the bypass is running a user is able to 'inject' scripts into the memory and have them run without being detected. Scripts are what the Arma2 engine is built around. The game was designed to allow users to write missions and campaigns within the game using the script language/engine. Users are supposed to be able to spawn vehicles, soldiers and create games using the Arma2 military simulation. Scripts run the game, it's what it's all about. So most of the problems within the DayZ community stems from users who run a bypass and then run scripts to perform various actions like making them invulnerable, invisible, spawning vehicles/weapons and or killing everyone on a server with a press of a button. Battleye was NOT designed for DayZ but intended to protect abuse of the script engine within Arma2, specifically it was supposed to keep people from altering scripts within a mission/campaign in the Arma2 game. Battleye has literally bent over backwards changing their goals to accommodate the DayZ community. They shouldn't be demonized as much as they are because supporting DayZ isn't what they were supposed to be doing. There are also other cheats to this game that doesn't involve scripts. One is called a Radar which uses packet sniffing (reads the chunks of data or packets the internet uses) and picks out of these packets key information such as locations of tents, vehicles and even players throughout the map. Another is the Aimbot which often uses direct3d code to cause the user to aim at specific colors found only on other player textures so you literally never miss your shots. Both of these run outside of the Arma2 engine and thus are not detectable at all. As said, Battleye has bent over backwards to accommodate the DayZ mod. They very recently have begun to run file integrity checks on users' machines in hopes of helping prevent the issue where people run edited files to remove buildings, trees and shrubbery/bushes which allowed players to shoot through walls and such. Personally, I think this is rather invasion and aggressive because at no point did I sign up for having a program scan my files, increasing my bandwidth and internet lag during gameplay. But regardless, it's happening. Now to answer your question, why can hacks not be stopped? They can and are stopped very very often. The Bypass unlocks memory on the computer of the user using the hack. Battleye constantly moves these memory locations forcing Hackers to constantly write new Bypass hacks. This is a cat and mouse game that will continue on forever. Battleye will plug the hole the hacker will figure out where the new hole is and the eternal struggle will continue unabated. There is no stopping the hackers from doing what they do. All Battleye can do is continue to plug the hole when they see it's being exploited. The Radar and Aimbot cheats run outside of Arma2 engine and are completely undetectable. Battleye can do nothing about them. It's very important to know Battleye is working their asses off to better control hacks/scripters from ruining the gameplay experience within Dayz Mod. I think they should be commended. Anyways, I hope that helps enlighten you a bit more about things.

It is against the rules set by the DayZ admins to alter mission parameters, which is what I would have to do in order to enable side chat. It was taken out for a reason. Plus, I have a managed gameserver, not my own, so I have no access to do any of that stuff, which is for good reason. Sorry. :( And no, tents and vehicles aren't saving properly on my server. This is due to the latest hive update which screwed up a ton of shit. It's like this way on every server running the latest hive version. I don't know if older 1.7.2.4 servers have this problem now. I know the problem wasn't around when 2.4 was the latest patch. Also, I was involved in that skirmish on counter-sniper hill in elektro last night. We went to investigate the snipers camping noobs in the town, and ended up taking a bunch of people out as well as getting killed once as well. I ended the night with about 6 murders and 3 bandit kills due to people constantly rushing back towards the bodies. Although, I will say we found two AS50 TWS rifles on two of the bodies, but those were hidden to stop circulation of hacked in weapons. I won't ban for it unless I have evidence that the person spawned them in , but I will do everything in my power to stop the circulation of them. Not saying you were the noobs there, but some people were. Particularly the guys with AS50 TWS' :)

First tents, now vehicles too. There's a lot of time left before the standalone, I would be surprised if they didn't patch this up soon.

As far as the hive buggering shit up with tents/vehicles not saving, here's a message I received from Vilayer. Over the past few days we have been in discussion with DayZ in regards to the current bugs in the game. We are going to be providing DayZMod a new machine to host their HIVE, This should resolve any packet loss and lag issues that users may be having from the current HIVE. Also while the transfer is going to be made, there is going to be another update released that will contains fixes for the tents saving and other items that may have been causing issues. This may or may not be made public, it could be a private update that is required on the HIVE and Server Side only. Please note that this is not official yet and you are receiving this information because you are a Vilayer LTD customer and we want everyone to be within the loop. We are currently the largest host for DayZ and we hope that we continue to be the largest host for DayZ. We want to thank all customers for using our service for DayZ and we hope you continue to do so. Soon enough we believe that this mod will become DayZGame at the end of November, Vilayer LTD will be providing Game Servers for DayZGame and if you wish your server will be automatically changed to the standalone version of this game upon release. We are working as hard as we can with the developers to try and resolve all prior issues with the HIVE and Game before the standalone is released. We're not 100% sure when the HIVE will be moved / fixed however we will inform you when it has. As per the normal if you have any questions please let us know. So, it looks like a fix may be coming sooner rather than later. We can only hope so anyway.

your vehicles save gear?? :huh:

Vehicle saving is broken in 1.7.2.5, btw.... I can go days without finding vehicles and then find many in a row. I was even able to fix an ATV all by myself the other day. (Hours of walking involved.) I went 3 days without a single vehicle or camp and then found 6 vehicles and 2 small camps in 2 days. Persistence pays off. Definitely try different servers. I know where a motorcycle keeps reappearing on a particular server due to the bug. Too bad the server has barbwire grief on almost all of the best loot spots.....

Actually we never started hanging around electro until the latest patch which screwed up the tents and vehicles. The fact that nothing would save anymore there was nothing left to do other than find some PVP action. We are thinking of rolling back the server so we can go back to how we used to play as killing in Electro is getting boring now too.

Haha. It is unfortunate that kindness in this game normally means a trap. However, in this case it is sincere. I want more people to join our server. I'm not looking to deter anyone from staying on it. I just saw someone retrieve the Red UAZ I parked in Cherno. He took the AKS Kobra I put in the trunk and killed a fresh spawn, which is kind of messed up but also hilarious. I really just want to get some regulars on our server and I thought maybe a lack of readily available vehicles could be an issue.
