What about vehicles not staying in the location you save them at?

To avoid hackers you just need to be intelligent, join servers that don't have too many players in, don't join if you see a name in the lobby that is blank (most likely a hacked name). I have came across two hackers in my time playing DayZ (a few months). One hacker killed the whole server (big deal, part of the game is to deal with dying), and the second one was a hacker who just spawned some vehicles and weapons, we just killed them and they left.

Have had fair enough luck with the update since I installed Monday @ lunch time. before update graphics glitches in all the normal spots(cherno, NW af, berezino, and stary) "flush" was no help, changing various graphic ssettings was but momentary relief. Was actually scared to update due to all the fouled spawn horror stories in this thread, losing this/that. Since the update to 1.7.2.5, have had 1 slight glitch in cherno for less than a cpl of seconds. Have not lost anything in over 15-20 logins. No random spawning anywhere but where I logged out. Have not tried to use a tent or found any veh. since I did update. tents I've found are gone next time I log in, so there's no point in wasting my effort on one, vehicles are to much trouble to fuss with most of the time.( too much to worry about hiding, maintaining).

About a week ago, I was banned from server US 1799. I was playing on the server for a few days prior and found a couple atvs so I had already made that server my home. I have always played as "Midiouss" but on the day I was banned, I had changed my name to ".:MAD:. Midiouss". I was playing with three other friends tha had the ".:MAD:." in front of their name and our reason for doing so was because it was their minecraft clan and we wanted a way to instantly recognize enemy from foe if we aimed at one another. After playing together for hours, the admin sent a global message that said "You MAD boys looking for trouble?" We explained our reason for the clan tag and about 30 mins later, the server goes offline for about 20 mins. We kept checking to see if the server was online and when it finally was, we entered it. In the game, there were only about 3 others so we assumed one was the admin. Also, one of those 3 had a tag at the end of their name which was "LLTS". About 2 minutes later, we checked the player menu and there was 9 other LLTS members. Soon after noticing this, my squad was kicked from the game. Whenever we reconnect, we get the message "Battle Eye: Banned (MAD denying -3)" We honestly did nothing to deserve this. We put so much time into that server and had a really good camp along with 3 vehicles. Its unfair how people can do something like this just because they are "Admin" and have the power to do so. I will start picking my servers a lot more carefully.

Still a priority issue. Just have to have faith that as jwiechers said, devs are aware and working on it. Hope it's worked out soon though, repairing and owing vehicles is like the only end game at the moment, and even as testers it's frustrating when a game gets less fun.

Damn I thought this thread actually had a workaround from the title, yes tents not saving items properly and vehicles being reset is a known bug with 1.7.2.5 but since most servers have updated it's not really worth rolling back now.

This is just as annoying and serious of an issue as the graphics glitch. Vehicles and tents not saving on my server either.

known bug.. it is voted to the top with glitching and vehicles

What a dick move, sir. I mean I will fight against all of the "I hate PvP/I hate snipers/I hate kill on sight" people to make sure the game remains with mechanics that will allow you to continue to do what you just did. The game shouldn't dictate who/what you can kill. But, still, that was just plain mean to do. Especially with something as high value as a helicopter when all he was trying to do was ferry around some of his servers' players and get them a chance to ride in a chopper :( For example, I admin a server and just got a bus the other night. My first thought was about how it'd be fun to ferry newspawns or anyone else around a bit and just try and get some people to experience vehicles given their rarity. But, I knew I would never do it because someone like you would detonate my bus on sight :P from out in the trees. Like that admin, I wouldn't kick/ban anyone for doing that to my bus or restart the server to try and get it back. The bus' flames would be put out with my tears, though. What happens in the game, happens. And the ability to detonate someones vehicles in game for no reason SHOULD stay possible. It's just a real dick move and a shame that you chose to do it to someone just trying to give people on his server a fun time. This thread makes me sad :(

Vehicle hoarding did not work if all vehicles set back after restart! (read first m8) and i think its ok go get tham all(de 925 not Glitchmobserver de 1508). just a few days and vip hacks and Vehicle hoarding is imposible!. I think its a good mission to get all vehicles just for an photo than you destroy the vehicles. 7 days than all should be back on spown points. @dev team de1508 vehicles buged (vehicles set back after restart or change v3r->bike motorbike->traktor same vehicles turn back to there spownpoants.) -de 925 all vehicles set back after restart ID-8063

Some official comment would be appreciated! 1.7.2.5 is out for "some" days and the tents/vehicles-not-saving-bug renders DayZ unplayable for people with camps / tents / etc. (why should I play when I can't store the crap I find) Even a "we know about that and are working on it" or "we don't give a fuck, because it will get fixed in $Nextupdate" would be nice. ANY piece of information would be nice. Don't let your information-policy become "Blizzard-Like" IF this info already exists... please provide the link :)

Duping is not solely done via tent/vehicle stashes, you know? As I said, it's useless to wipe everything until we get to a point where things can't easily get duped - be it intentional or unintentional - anymore. Also, I do not think that there even is any argument about this. No legit player wants duping to happen. The dev(s) don't want it to happen. It's simply a technical issue. And simply wiping the tents/vehicles just won't do (unless the various other duping methods have been adressed, too). Hopefully, this issue will resolve itself with standalone.

Technically, Arma allows you bind an Xbox controller to use in-game. You can do it easily already from within the key bindings menu. It makes vehicles better to drive but for general gameplay I wouldn't recommend it unless you want to get shot in the face more so than now.

Vehicle hoarding? Nice. I don't like the rules the dev team want's us to stick to but vehicle hoarding isn't okay. Also you won't get many people playing on your server, when they have no vehicles.

Still no vehicles on our server DE 1662 with an ID over 8000.

If it's a proof of concept, fine and dandy.. otherwise who the fuck hunts with an Alsatian? give me a wee Jack Russell or a Terrier for rabbits / boars & to maybe alert you of the direction of someone who is close by... Ps... I hope you can drive round with them in Vehicles and they hang their heads out the window!!

De 1508 Server restart did not set back vehicles after restart the server. On de 925 the vehicles are not hacked the take a hole day 8 persons to get most of the hole vehicle, restart, and it is gone... hope the bug is fix sonn becouse this bug sucks.

Admins cannot see vehicles. Unless they use a program called DayZ Radar which is heavily frowned upon by most honest admins, myself included. I refuse to use that shit. It's basically a hack. I'm pretty sure the DayZ staff are blacklisting this, if they haven't already. Edit: Looks like this program no longer functions which is good news. The downside is that the program makes it very easy to spot teleporters or other hackers. If you don't have it though, you cannot see anything as an admin, unless of course someone yaps out some coordinates in direct chat and I happen to be monitoring my rcon, aka I'm not in game. An admin can see all direct communication (text only) that happens throughout the game. We cannot spawn in items. We cannot see tents. We cannot see vehicles. We can kick. We can ban. Both someone who is in the server, and someone who isn't. We can read log files of events that took place on the server. Some hosts, like Vilayer, allow us to change the time schedule / day-night cycle. We can restart the server. We can stop the server. We can change the difficulty level, and edit the config to allow certain "perks" to be allowed even if that difficulty level turns them off by default. An example of this would be crosshairs on veteran difficulty. We can see everyones GUID and IP as well as country(depending on the tool you use) We can change the message of the day. As said, I can monitor direct chat for any malicious threats/racism or potential hacker(who is also an idiot) (This can be abused by power-hungry admins to spy on others, as such I don't recommend TYPING in direct. Just use your mic.) We can update the server. We can roll back the server. We can set up automated restarts. I'm sure I've missed some, but those are the majority. I hope this answers your question about admins, as well as anyone elses who sit there claiming "ADMINS SPAWNED IN STUFFZ". Yes, admins can spawn in things. If they happen to be a hacker.

I'm not playing regularly anymore. I haven't lost any love for the mod. I still watch youtube vids, livestreams, and visit the forums everyday, and log in on occasion, but there are a few things that have gotten to me. I died a few times to script kiddies. Then I changed and started alt+f4ing whenever there was a cheater spotted on the server, the moment I was teleported or thunderdomed, the moment a hacked vehicle was found on the server. My character got to over 45 days old with only one murder which was in self defence. I was eventually killed a few days ago, to a server hopper who logged in directly behind/on top of me while I was in a corner with only one approach, trying to guard a vehicle, while a friend was out looking for parts. Server hopping broke the game as much as the script kiddies did. I also witnessed a group of players, the same night, log in around vehicle spawns from another server, check what the vehicles needed, log back off to server hop, and reappear a few minutes later with the parts needed to repair them, they then took most of the vehicles and stored them off-map, this also broke the immersion for me. I'll be back. But definitely not as often as I was playing before. The experiment has already been a success as far as I'm concerned, and I'm looking forward to the standalone.

For most of the time i was playing on this server, i made my own camp and pretty much everything. But the problem is, yesterday all my vehicles were token, today i was trying to find new one and i got on this camp @ 066010, west side of the map near myshkino. Lots of spawned urals, ammo dropboxes and everything. Took a heli from camp to take a friend, then guy with nick Necropedophile comes on server, saw us near his camp and started shooting with rocket launcher, blew up his own camp, sure i quit. Is there any way to contact admin of the server, so maybe he could provide logs, Necropedophile was several times was kicked due script restrictions.

Yes this is a nice server, you can gain very much profit on it ! You can come to our secret place: The NorthWest Airfield! Almost nobody on DayZ is aware of this little secret place. There we will shoot the shit out of you can trade, so both of us can gain Profit in form of Beans, Guns, Ammo, bullets in your head, Medical Supplies and Vehicles. We have built a little fort in the middle of the Airfield with Wires and Tank Traps so you cannot escape from us we can have a nice trade without Zombie Interruption !

OK.. I like sniping and have had fun with the .50 cals.. however I think the OP has a point. I sat here thinking about how much different the game would be if they were gone.. and the other sniper rifles as well. I believe the game would change dramatically! The suspense would increase as more people would enter the cities because of less fear of getting sniped. You'd see far more up close encounters, which I think would be fun as hell.. .50s needed for taking out vehicles? That's laughable! You mean the vehicles that are hoarded and parked off map? The vehicles I NEVER see?? Lol I think it would be a good experiment.. to take them out for a while and see what happens.

And the same shit again. Restarted yesterday ^^. Server synchron to systemtime. Because of restart vehicles lost in space. Logged in today and it is night on daytime, again!!!! I'am really the only one, who got this problem? I can't believe this.

Really no initiative to play when you have maxed out your loot except waiting to die, because you cant expand your camp. Can someone confirm that putting down a new tent will make it save once? Because then I can just save my gear once and atleast start dying. Hoping that Rocket will prioritize making the loot systems like gear/tents/vehicles solid soon.
