backstory: Guy was invisible trying to shoot me on a bike with a crossbow. A couple near misses and hit me once I just started singing and guy chased me down. Did the greased up deaf guy "you cant catch meeee" and told him maybe he should try dropping a helicopter on my head. That's when he responded. Guy stopped and showed me a couple things (like the cow airdrop, hilarious) and I asked him about the shit. Apparently with the last two arma betas the injector they use would crash the game immediately. Well, they must have fixed it last night because after being hacker free for 5 days or so I ran into three hackers in 15 minutes. There's some serious issues with the anti-hax and battleye in particular. From what he told me there is a language barrier. The antihax only detects english based scripting. He said he can get away with way more shit on german servers since the antihax is written in german and doesn't catch english scripting. facepalm worthy. They can't spawn vehicles in US servers, or buildings, etc. However they can still spawn weapons, crazy artillary barrages, become invisible, teleport, see all vehicles and tents and players... Just thought i'd share this little bit of insight I have gathered with you guys.

All servers admins should just roll back to 2.4. Tents worked after the initial wipe at restart...no problem. Artifacts can be cured by changing video settings and if that doesn't work just log out back to the lobby and log back in WHEN IN THE ARTIFACT ZONE.....problem solved. Although I miss my bandit skin..but the game works properly which is more important. It would also help if servers would restart on a 6 to 8 hour rotation. This will cure the disappearing act of vehicles and tents after the first couple restarts... I see another poster posted a link for server side hot fix of tents and vehicles......Admins.........USE IT. :) Now there should be no more bitching to the devs.

Great stories, guys! Hopefully I soon find a vehicle with wheels too. I've sat in a total of 4 different vehicles, all of them completely broken with no fuel :<

"Hacking" is done by scripts. And scripts in ARMA 2 are basically the core essential on how to make your own mods/missions. So playing on your own little offline/non-BattleEye server and using scripts there isn't really a problem to anyone. Don't judge right away. As for OP, I already pretty much told you how to "cheat." You need to use scripts that are coded to spawn certain things. Be it NPCs, vehicles, props or weapons. (Edit; Don't try any scripts in any online servers. You'll most likely get kicked and/or banned for doing so.) As for if you can play DayZ offline.. I don't think you can. Maybe by altering the mod files, but that'd that a bit more skill and know-how.

PS, this is not an attempt to grief or anything. Someone took all our servers vehicles tonight and hid them. if in a helo feel free to circle to check my hands, not even sure where I'm spawned atmbut will update soon.

i would help you out if my vehicles didnt keep getting hacked

I've been seeing a lot of forum posts about fixing the alpha. Mostly people saying "I quit", "This game sucks/is terrible because of bug xyz, Fix xyz or I quit/boycott", or similar negative comments. I know it can be hard not being able to play the game how you want, but here is my take on why the bugs are actually a GOOD thing. 1.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First of all, I'm glad the Developers have their priority of adding game features first. I do not want dogs, infection, temperature, and all the other goodies planned to STOP every time a tent breaks or a vehicle spawns wrong. If theses bugs are easy to Fix, do you think rocket would not fix them immediately? Yes, dayz is a game you like, but it is even more than a game to Rocket. He has put a lot of sweat and blood into it. If it were the best path to pour his effort into it I have faith he would have done it. That doesn't mean it won't get fixed, but that they are probably working on it BUT also mostly working on DayZ standalone. Likely this is the correct choice. 2.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Devs have already said some of the biggest bugs, such as duping, inventory errors, hacking, and broken characters are not fixable in ARMA II. Therefore, the faster the game goes standalone the sooner we have a Better dayz. I'd rather not play as much now and get a much sooner stand alone than have a perfectly patched alpha. Again, I think if a perfect alpha were easy Rocket would do it for us.. as it is it sounds like it would take a terrible amount of effort and I respect him pushing to make DAYZ better even if it hurts for now. 3.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That said, I think with current duping and inventory bugs, having no tents/vehicle saves actually helps the game have less cheating. Vehicle and tents not saving stops the dupers. It doesn't stop the hackers, but DayZ standalone is the only thing that will really help with hacking. Therefor focusing on developing dayZ and leaving alpha bugs behind sounds like a really good choice to me. The sooner the better. IN SHORT:: I can't wait for standalone and I really don't care if dayZ alpha is buggy & I think you should feel the same way. I applaud the developers for fixing what they can but understanding that if they get stuck on these huge alpha bugs then we'll never have the dayZ we want. I have faith that the developers are not stupid and care about the game more than any of us do.. and that consequently they're doing the best they can. please stop posing urgent threads and threats over and over for the same bugs.. play the alpha and enjoy waiting for the next big build to come out :) Right now tents and vehicles don't work so just don't use them. It's not a game ender, Nor is fixing them going to fix DayZ alpha.

In the pursuit of a nice vehicle I decided to take the always lovely tractor out to find these vehicles since the tractor runs as is. Well, I find a motorcycle but as I'm trying to turn I bump a fence and well... boom. Moral of the story, don't drive anything with a red engine.

Especially after the issues with tents and vehicles in 1.7.2.5, I'm all for a complete tent wipe. With how easy item duping is, the only way to return any normalcy to the game is to wipe everything. Seems like there's always 20 guys running around with L85 AWS, AS50s and M9 SDs (with all of the tools) running around on every server.

Hey Guys, Just wanted to let people know I have started renting a server: US 2336. I have a public teamspeak for people to join and play together or group up with random people. Because of the Hive saving issues all vehicles are freshly respawned after each restart, But Tents still work as long as you dont save more than 2 before a restart or you have a chance of no tents saving. Before all restart I give about 10 minutes warning and do count down warnings. Come in and play. If you have any questions you can talk to me in Teamspeak. Teamspeak: 50.97.203.133:6931 PW:2336 Thanks, Chris - Vulture

Can confirm private hive servers are saving tents and vehicles now - so when is the hotfix out for the public servers again since a fix is available?

When i started playin i joined up with a newly forming clan of survivors. A week later whist meeting up with people at the fearsome & aparrently haunted green mountin my clan mates find a scooby doo van and make their way too us. This was the beginning of an eventfull vehicle finding day :D I then drive the van with 3 other clan members to the NEAF to meet up with the rest of the crew and shit goes down. A firefight insues with a couple of people across the otherside of the airfield, after one is shot dead & the other hiding i hastily order a navigator to jump in the passanger seat n start hauling ass west to the forests. Using that van we found a atv needing repairs just south of the airfield aswell as another atv near novy sober stuck on a bridge with a UAZ parked near by. We rob the UAZ with its immense amounts of gear n haul ass once again coming back an hour later with more clan members to get the bugged atv off the bridge. Now we had all of our clan members on veichles wich amounted to one hell of a convoy and i was one happy bunny having laid eternal dibs on my awesome scooby doo van. Unfortunatly i roll it on its side later that night after running over some rediculously strong sunflowers >.< next time ill leave the jerry can run to someone on an atv :P All the vehicles were gone within the next 2 days. Dont get attatched to your shit R.I.P my beatiful van

Yey, but this server have more vehicles. : d

I'll help you stop your testing. Tents need to be on flat and level terrain because they, like all other vehicles in the game, reorient themselves at a restart. Now for some reason when these vehicles reorient themselves they do NOT keep the inventory changes that happened AFTER the flip. So in effect a 'tilted' tent is flipped and will not save items until it is reoriented after the restart.

On our server, we don't kick/ban for players possessing hacked-in items (not talking about dupes). However, we let them know that we're watching them, and that players in possession of such non-DayZ weapons only invite suspicion upon themselves. We do advise players to leave hacked-in items alone, hide the corpse. Usually letting the players know that we disapprove of the items is enough to send them to another server. Now if we could only get a fix for vehicles and tents saving properly...

A group of us that play on this server (US 137) organized a large raid focused on raiding camping and finding vehicles. We found numerous (poorly hidden) bases all along the edge of the map along with many vehicles. We did this late at night, with few people on the the server. We found so many tents we had to set up our own base and begin ferrying the loot via the vehicles. This went on for a period of ~2 days. During this time, we encountered resistance a few times from the TG members and we prevailed; escaping with the loot. However, when the admins discovered that we had raiding their bases and taken their vehicles, they attempted to restart the server many times in order to regain their gear. We made sure to save tents after we raided them and save vehicles every time we exit them to prevent them from exploiting. We didnt take kindly to this misuse of server control, but we ignored it and kept playing. We also witnessed many TG members disconnect during firefights and ghost to gain position. These guys are mostly cowards (save for a few) when it comes to real combat, always disconnecting. After all this, we initiated a server wide man hunt for TG players, recruiting others and moving in teams to highly populated, high risk areas; and also known TG bases. Many will pay for the mistakes of a few. We tried to log in today and continue and all our members are banned. We are not cheaters, and we got everything legit. After everything we have seen from these guys its not too surprising that they would rather ban us than try to take us out. We also had one of their members tell us they overheard a convo on their teamspeak about how they were going to ban us for "not playing in the spirit of DayZ", and made an analogy about us saying "its like we were walking up to two people playing chess and knocking over the board." That may be so, but maybe you should be guarding your base like a "tactical gamer" instead of leaning on server power. It appears to me that only people actually playing the game correctly (and rather tactically to boot) is us. We would like disciplinary action taken against these server admins, this sort of behavior is unacceptable. The spirit of the game is not determined by a sore player who lost his camp and got shot. Welcome to DayZ, "tactical gamers." Below are screenshots of some of our members bans. Will post more later when they get online. We also may have fraps of some of the pvp disconnects and the server restarts. I will find out soon. http://i.imgur.com/Q3Tsn.png http://i.imgur.com/RDmRx.jpg http://i.imgur.com/c39H6.jpg http://imageshack.us/f/96/arma2oa2012080519110140.png/

I love your servers. :thumbsup: FR177 as: server open all the time, then when players vehicles camps puts the admin server with a private password sent a cheater on all sides. not to steal the tents but put sand bags, put tents on the old flying vehicles. bad luck? course, all seven camps spread across the map and only a few hours every discovered? thank you xelaserver Annuler les modifications

Server rolled back to 1.7.2.4 to allow tents and vehicles to work properly. As soon as there is a new update that isn't game breaking I will update again. Thanks for reading

The log file is located in ctgdayz/Battleye/remoteexec.log <--- Will tell you if anyone is hacking. Does not log who kills who. All vehicles need repairs upon spawning in the game. The helicopter however spawns in with no repairs needed(or at least that's how I keep finding them spawned in.)

Yeah... it sucks. I was trying to get into fixing vehicles as a lone wolf, and this bug was ruining my best efforts. I found a motorcycle while looking for a bicycle last night, I hope it's there later as well.

I was kicked off a server for killing an admin, and his friend. They were landing a heliccopter and I killed both of them. As i was running to the chopper they kicked everyone off the server and locked the server till they got the chopper back. I made a thread about it a while back with a screenshot. Nothing was done to them. They should've had their server blacklisted. I have my own server and I respect the players. If they kill me fairly and loot my tents or vehicles fairly, I dont get mad. They need to blacklist servers that do that shit.

Well I could use some infinite ammo for my M9 SD so I will roll my patch back for the mags and stay for the PVP (mostly kidding but after losing tents and vehicles it would be nice to have a useful bug). Question is where is this PVP battle going to take place and is the server a hacker hotspot? I am not saying give me the coordinates, but just a general vicinity like from Cherno to Zeleno or something like that.

Since most likely nothing will come of our posts to the moderators. I figured the least I could do, is provide others with opportunity to get their spoils. Who knows. They've had about 12 hours to pickup camp and move it... This is why you shouldn't get attached to your gear or vehicles...

I get your frustration, asking a question in the forums is sometimes an exercise in internet futility. I am not completely without sin since I started out with the common responses, but I was largely joking. Patch 1.7.2.5 has a huge problem with vehicles and tents (in case you did not know tents are hit and miss, some servers they will disappear never to be seen again and on others they will reappear with the original gear that was saved). Here is a link to one of the posts that talks about vehicle bugs in this latest patch http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/15439-vehicles-disappeared-us2/, but like I said I have lost a couple of vehicles and tents filled with legitimate rare gear that was built up over a month. I even lost a Huey, which sucked but I already knew it would have eventually resulted in a hack kill, admin abuse, or a legitimate sniper kill so no big problem. Just remember the game is still in testing, so hopefully these huge bugs that are very annoying are being analyzed so they can be effectively removed in the stand alone.

I wonder how many people are now going to get banned for cheating/hacking too. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/79584-free-gear-at-least-3-vehicles-enjoy/
