Just woke up. Felt good to sleep in on a sunday. I pop open my ACP panel, and check my remoteexec.log. Sure enough, it's recorded entries recently. So I dig in. To my surprise I see a long list of guilty people. When all is said and done, I've banned TWENTY ONE people in the last 20 minutes. From trying to spawn vehicles, to blatant invisibility cheats, to a teleport, to attempting to kill the server. It's truly laughable. If anyone wants a list of GUIDS for you to add to your server, PM ME.

More aerial vehicles - yes, but (even though Chernarus is equipped with eastern weapons and vehicles so Mi-8 civil version would be just fine) AH-6X has TV camera with NV a FLIR, so basic Littlebird version (no guns, pilot + 4 passengers) would probably be better.

1. I can use them all three : > 2. Holland 3. Fluid enough for you to understand me! 4. 18 5.playing this mod for about 4-5 weeks and never played arma 2 before I started with DayZ 6. I prefer sniper. 7. I can handle most of the vehicles 8. Yes 9. Atm I play everday for 3-4 hours. 10. I play with 3rd on and gmt + 2 11. Shadowrun, Battlefield 3, Tribes Ascend. Maybe good to know that I currently have a DMR with 5-6 mags and most of the tools and a m4a1 cco.

Has the problem vehicles despawning after restart been fixed? Our server was one of those servers that didnt spawn vehicles because it was a newer server. There was a fix that was applied to spawn vehicles again.. However, every time the server restarted, we had find and fix our vehicles as if it was a new server.. We reverted to 1.7.2.4 to remedy this. We want to go back to 1.7.2.5, but dont want to have to go and find our vehicles every day. SORRY IF THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ANSWERED ALREADY, BUT THIS THREAD IS ALREADY 100+ PAGES.

Hello there! 1. I mainly use Skype but can use other programs if needed, ofc. 2. Im from Sweden, Gotherburg 3. Pretty much, yeah 4. 18yrs 5. Only had the game for about one week (love it though) 6. I can play all different styles, prefer assault or recon 7. Haven't really gotten the chance to use vehicles yet, but after all I've been playing things like BF(series) 8. Yes, when Im playing alone I can sometimes a douche, but together with my friends Im always trying to do whats best for the team! 9. Depends on weekdays or weekends, mostly prefer evening/night but if Im free, and have the time, I can play anytime. 10. Call of duty series, BF series, WoW. etc.

Zach, First I'd like to say thanks for choosing one of our servers! I'm sorry for the trouble you guys are currently having with both tent and vehicles saves. Unfortunately both issues are characteristics of DayZ 1.7.2.5 on the hive side and beyond our control to remedy. Up until recently our servers didn't spawn vehicles as they were 8k+ instance ID servers. When the devs finally corrected 8k+ servers and gave all of us the ability to spawn vehicles they botched the save mechanism. There are a number of long threads on these forums outlining the specifics in more detail. In regards to tent saving while that is also a complication of 1.7.2.5 we may perform a rollback to 1.7.2.4 as then we can at least improve the consistency of tent saves. I'll send you a PM with some information on our servers, it may benefit both of us. Sincerely, [OCN]Vortech of Overclock.net

Alright then, here is My Wishlist: More broken vehicles, less vehicle parts, scarce fuel Less high powered/military weapons, more "around the house" type weapons (though still difficult to find - hello apocalypse) + degradation + scarce ammo. Searchable/lootable items inside buildings: chests, wardrobes, desks, nightstands, safes... you know like at some point in the not too distant past people actually lived in these places. I like the idea of underground building but I would like to see this underground be an actual place - like a subway and sewer system. Underground tunnels and stations, rather than just some empty instance you load into and create a base in. Example: You drop through a manhole and make your way through the tunnels to your base entrance (instance). With the creating of bases, I'd love to see the inclusion of being able to create amenities such as electricity - to light/heat/arm said bases. Stamina/Endurance/Agility/Dexterity(aim) directly related to and affected by hydration/fed/temperature/health level. Animals - dangerous wildlife. Infected population independent of players. It's too much of a giveaway: zambies here means player here. The diary. Enterable tents: out in the wilderness, have my tent in my pack, starts raining. I'd like to be able to set my tent up and climb inside to get out of the rain. "Friend" identification. If I'm looking at my team mate "Joe", I'd like to be able to tell that it's "Joe" and not the other random guy that has the exact same skin/equipment who just happened to come around the corner. Maybe some sort of customizable clothing flag - armband, hat decal, bandana... something.

It doesn't work. My friend and i have a server, where we upgraded to 1.7.2.5 and the problem appeared. Then now we have downgraded to 1.7.2.4 and now then tents won't even remember items after the first save. Its completely empty. I hope they will fix the bug with tents and vehicles very soon. Because i don't find it nice to play at all, with those bugs.

1. TS, but others are easy to get/install 2. England 3. Yea :P 4. 37 5. 2 months (ish) 6. Close range, but i have some sniper rifles and have used them. 7. Have drove almost all the vehicles 8. yep 9. Everyday about 3-4 hours 10. 3rd on, and gmt (6pm - 12pm weekdays) (weekends all day) 11. haha minecraft (to relax), Fifa 12 (for me footie fix)

South of the northwest airfield there is non stop gunfire from hackers with god mode on. Myself and 2 clan members were on the server looking for vehicles when the screen "reloaded" and there was a mega sized bunker "hacked in" and people shooting off relentlessly in all directions with unlimited rounds. We literally listened to rounds going off for about 45 minutes...its a server with name plates...conveniently we were killed at the same exact time just shortly ago. I dont really care about dying...I have my own camp I can semi-replenish at...however this hacking is ridiculous. Check it out...south of NWAF you will hear gunfire as if you are landing in Normandy. good luck

1. What do you use to talk with other people? Skype,TS,Vent? I use skype and team speak but i prefer teamspeak. 2. Where are you from? England. 3. Do you speak fluid English. Fluid? do you mean fluent? if you do then yes. 4. How old are you? 15 5. How long have you played DayZ, Did you play ArmA2 or ArmA before you started DayZ? I have been playing arma 2 for 1 year and dayz for 2 and a half months about 3 weeks after it first came out. 6. What do you like to play as a close range, sniper ETC. I would like to play as a pilot if we manage to get a heli and normally just a medium to long range using a assault rifle (the m4a1 cco sd) i also have a sniper but im not so good with mil dots but i could practise some more. 7. Do you know how to handle vehicles if so what are you good at? I played in arma 2 clans a Huey pilot so i guess helicopters but i have experience playing arma 2 in most vehicles anyway. 8. Are you a good team player? I would say so. 9. What time of day do like to play? or how often do you play? I prefer to play from 9am-3pm gmt as my internet is best then but i can play later or earlier. 10. do you play with 3rd on/off? And on what timezone? Normally i play with first person as i prefer it and i play in gmt. 11. Do you play any other games if so what do you play? (This will not do any thing to if you get in or not) Just generally alot of sandbox and fps games.

Hey everyone, a few friends and myself have just purchaced a new server US 2277 we have been seeing a steady incress in players in the evening hours but would like to see more throughout the day.. Come join us...we currently have the server set to run 1.7.2.4, zombies running arround crazy and infinite ammo aren't as bad as vehicles and tents reverting to 1.7.2.4 state on server restarts....exspecially when graphical artifacting wasn't fixed for many of us.. If you are running 1.7.2.4 or know how to downgrade we would love to have you, we pride ourselves on our admins we are running the latest script detections as well as have admins checking log files regularly for any unusual behavior. Server is a dedicated rack with fast load times hosted by HFB... Come join us and help make this best server out there. P.S. realized after posting that i should have put this in Server General...not sure how to move it or if i even can.. if a forum admin could move this it would be most appreciated..Thanks

since the new arma II beta patch came out the artifacting didn't occur anymore at my machine, and the game had been unplayabale because of them in version .2.4. anbd now .2.5!! Maybe theres hope? With my machine, flushing only makes the issue worse, and MUCH worse! Quitting the game and rejoining wokrs though, glitches DO NOT return for me, not even after 2 hours. The main issues might just be the complete inaccesibility of vehicles in this version. Every server restart the vehicles return to their spawn. Makes finding them easy, but you need to find 4 tires, eninge block, fuel tank parts and scrap metal all over, plus the filling with the jerry cans. AND the tents do not save donkey-sh**! These issues are the gamebreakers, a hotfix would be cool! Also, Ammo in your backpack still returns to full clips after you join next time...so ammo is still plenty! My Graphics data: Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 (GT200 GPU, 896 MB RAM, driver version nvlddmkm 7.15.11.8120 (ForceWare 181.20), for Win Vista 64bit (=my system)), directx etc. are up toi date, the driver is from 2009, because the generic drivers are generally not compatible with my monitor (will be fixed by getting a new graphics card...)). Maybe this info is of any use...I could post screeners, but I am too lazy for fraps...

Sorry about that everyone... here is some more information.. Vehicles have not all been gathered and stashed as a matter of fact we have a full house last night 40/40 with severl other groups of players seen moving around with vehicles so they are still out there. We have been on 1.7.2.4 for less than 36 hours so vehicle respawn issues have just been resolved.. Also More server information.. 3rd Person is ON Tags are ON...this is one we have been discusing and are split on, We would like to decide this if we can get a dedicated playerbase based on community feedback. Waypoints are ON Pandas are EVERYWHERE... Server In game time is set to UTC-8 / sun sets around 12:30-1 AM Easter Standard Time US Set this way so that evening gamers can enjoy a little daytime gaming as well There will be oportunities for people to join us at later dates...we are recruiting selectivly, the best way to join is to just get on and play with us..our teamspeak info is posted upon joining our server.

Basically there is a set number of vehicles per sever. When they get destroyed or are inactive for a certain amount of time they will (are supposed to) respawn. Most older servers have the vehicles horded and hidden around the outsides of the map. Also if you find a server with vehicles, dont be surprised if you repair it and its not there the next day when you log on.

before you start a server for DayZ (ive had servers in TF2, CSS, HaloCE, etc) you should have been a server owner for some other games, also loot can always be relooted and you will always get a better loadout then the one you have now so just suck it up and get looting. ive lost M107s, AS50s,vehicles,Mtn Dews,M4A1 Holos, L85s but i dont complain, i grow pair and get looting. there should be no second chances if you fuck up then you should lose your server and http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_loffjse5pL1qblwlt.gif

Have you already gathered up all the vehicles and chopper and stashed them?

Same issue on my server (1.7.2.5 + 96061) vehicles never save and I've had many, many people complain about this.

Nice find daspope. I did not know you could license the unreal engine 3 for free. Its a lot of work to start from scratch though. Im more of a modeller and light scripter. I like to take a game and change little things like adding vehicles/weapons/units/maps than making my own game. Cool stuff though thanks :thumbsup:

In my opinion destroying vehicles you dont need is just beeing a dick and has nothing to do with banditry -.-

Jarret, When you get stuck in debug, you need to relog to get moved out. I didn't see your comments over side chat (if any) but you could have taken the time to reiterate your issue once you came to my attention. I play this game too, and sometimes I do not always pay attention to everything going on in side chat. Second, to contact me directly, there is a message in the MOTD about how to do so. I can modify your position in my database and move you out of debug. Thirdly, there is a rule in the MOTD that says not to transmit audio over side or global chat, you broke this rule 3 times. Fourthly, there is a rule in the MOTD to respect all players, (and no hate speech) especially targeted at a specific user. Which in this case was me. Lastly, with the rampant accusations against clan RGB I keep a close eye on their activities. Combined with my additional detection and Battleye, you would think with the level of cheating levied against them at least one of them would be banned by now by me or global banned by battleye no? The hard truth is that clan RGB is better than you. They are organized, coordinated, and experienced arma players and are also allied with the other large clan on the server (the only competition). In a matter of hours of getting a helicopter they can have all the others on the server operational and in the air searching for vehicles, heli crash sites and other players. This affords them the luxury of being able to acquire whatever gear they want and ultimately do what they want to.

It's even more frustrating that you only do it when no ones online, you pathetic loser. Furthermore, the reason we have to sometimes restart twice (or even 3 times) is because on some server resets the server comes back online without tents or vehicles spawned on the map AT ALL. To play on a server in this state would be absolutely pointless. Believe me, when we can have any weapon we want minutes after respawning, and they are always there after every restart, it is NOT that fun. We HAVE requested a server wipe because of the absurd ammounts of tents filled with high end weapons that never go away, but the devs declined it. We just ask that you come to the base legit, and not walk into the hanger on another server and then login on our server when no ones on and blow up the base, and then come on here like your this lethal assasin... I have never seen an admin restart the server unless we have confirmed hackers (which will always result in an instant restart, regardless if someone just spent an hour blowing up our base with legit satchels), or to restore the tents and vehicles in the world. You should focus your attacks at the devs who allow these bugs to go unfixed for so long. We can't stop the tents from coming back full, we can't stop the vehicles from coming back after you take them, we can't stop the walls and barbed wire from returning after a restart. Stop whining so much, and grow a sack. I had respect for you up untill you went postal on these forums, what you did to our base was awesome. We would love to rebuild or relocate it, but unfortunately server restarts do that for us automatically.

ever since 1.7.2.5 you should know after it was explained to you todd that everything you take out of tents or no matter how many times peoples bases or tents are destroyed that it all comes back...that is something far from our control until it is fixed the only thing as of now that is working correctly with vehicles is saving their location... the chopper won't save correctly as to why it always resets itself back to the spawn point on the island... we had hackers take our Ural truck a few weeks back...we managed to get it back but found hacked weapons inside the inventory..and no matter how many times we attempted to get them removed, after every restart they would be back...so we had to take the truck into the field and destroy it with satchel charges,save it and are now waiting for a clean Ural to spawn.. This goes for the V3s civilian truck as well...It too was bugged and was not repairable past yellow status...we took it,destroyed it and it too should be re-spawning within the next few days..there is far more truth to the story than what you seem to be trying to accuse of...with the amount of hackers and teleporting going on around recently there are at times no choices but to restart or stop the server for a few minutes to rid of these nuisances. Yes admins should be globally messaging that a restart is imminent and we have explained that this is what will be done from now on as to not cause false accusations. I am pretty confident that from the new updates from battleeye and server providers that hackers/hacking is/will be reduced in the coming weeks...we have already seen improvement and that is what we want to see. . we have this server for the community to enjoy and play on we love nothing more than to see a full server of legit players..this game is going to go a long way and we want to keep that support for it.. {SoH} TrixX
