Someone posted a video the other day of some kid trying to teach others how to script in DayZ. It was hilarious. First the kid teleports himself to the NW airfield, there he spawns all manner of vehicles all over the place, he makes himself invisible, spawns a weapon crate and gives himself unlimited ammo. Then he actually tries to shoot a zombie - he takes out his AS50 and spams the trigger. He misses about 20 rounds then says "oh well i guess my zeroing is off", spawns a chopper and is then kicked and banned. Sounds like OP's friend had practically the exact same experience, equally hilarious.

Ah, okay. I did notice that sometimes when I restart my local hive server, the vehicles don't spawn and sometimes they do. This is the same bug, no?

Personally my clans server is on 1.7.2.4. After the fix for the instances ID's vehicles started spawning. We ended up repairing several, dropping some gear in the vehicle and saved it. After a server restart said vehicles were in the same spot with all the correct loot. You may want to consider rolling back your server till they can get hotfix in for 1.7.2.5 this way you can actually enjoy the vehicles. On a side note we have looked everywhere for a heli and can not seem to find it. I'm curious to know like Qweets asked eariler if the Heli spawns are 7 days from when vehicles spawn or is it suppose to be there once all vehicles spawn. I can't seem to find a very clear and precise answer on that.

Definitely wasn't zombies. They turned a corner and came running from the railway station down to the supermarket in the middle of the road, aggroing zombies all over the place. Then I hear one of them tell the other over direct voicecoms "there's a guy at the supermarket", I'm not sure how he could've seen me as I was behind the steps using 3rd person to see what was aggroing everything but maybe he had seen me when I was inside. He tells me "do not shoot, stay where you are", well fuck that, I booked towards the church. I hear the same guy yelling to someone else where I am and what direction I started running, then I hear a fucking vehicle coming after me! I made it out of reach of their voicecoms and audible range of their vehicle expecting to be teleported at any moment. But it never happened. Which is weird. Maybe they were only 'partial scripters' or they found the clothes on scripter bodies and kept it. I was certain that a scripter would be so annoyed by one guy evading a team of them and vehicles that they would nuke the server or something. I went to the roof of the hospital by the military tents thinking they might stop off their and I could get a screenshot but they never did.

Don't get me wrong I absolutely love this mod/game. That being said, I have already been everywhere and gotten everything. Besides hoarding crap in tents and hoarding vehicles there is really nothing more to do. Surviving is to easy and finding guns and ammo is way to easy as well. Sometimes I will die just to start ove,r only to find myself getting a winchester, blowing someones head off and looting their body for everything I had just had 30 minutes ago before I had originally died. Please make this game harder. Make it so having a gun is something special, and having food/water really worth it. One quick run through any major city will net you a nice gun, a backpack, water bottles, food, hatchet, knife and sometimes even matches and a tent. Not fun when everything is so damn easy to find.

Vehicles won't move back to their spawn points...they sit in the same spot on a server restart in almost all cases.

All 100% true, Okay so basicly 2 people on US 1841 (Out Dated Server) Called 'Riqueza Mano da XXT' and 'Manolo da [XXT] Chris' are hacking. Chris keeps dying then teleporting and has killed one of our friends and stole a red UAZ, but before that we found there camp after they stole and from another clan who we are now with, and as soon as I logged off after getting all of our vehicles and items back, 'Riqueza Mano da XXT' Logged on and I logged back in and the 2 big Trucks were gone, I moved the ATV back and they shot me. yesterday they were using a speed hack and killed 2 of my friends and stole the UAZ. Overall they are hacking and need to be dealt with. My name is SwagMonster Wicky, and I got killed at 19:30-19:31 GMT time.

My apologies sir, but I have to decline. If it is any consolation, I am myself leaving behind several vehicles stocked with gear. And my friends and I were to close repairing and operating our first chopper last night, before hacking wiped away hours of running around the map finding parts. The straw that finally broke me was when I spawned in the debug zone after dying to the hacker with no gear and no means to kill myself, other than waiting to starve to death. I have already issued the ticket to HFB Servers to shut it down immediately. Sorry. Unless one is playing on a private server, it seems the only way to play DayZ today is to run around Electro and Cherno with an axe or low-end rifle and just enjoy the game while waiting for a hacker to join the fray.

I would like to appeal for the ban of a whole clan known as XXT that also play on the server US 1841. The reason is, they are the only other people who play on the server that my clan (and our allied clan) are on. We have been hacked twice now, and they are the only people on the server. I spent all of today finding cars that they stole from us, and succeeded. We then stole all their vehicles and hacked in weapons. What next? I wake up after a booming headache to hear we were robbed! By who? The bloody XXT. So there. If they are not banned then at least I want others to know that this group are a bunch of scumbags who came on our server, fucking suck at PvP, and hack to win. If they are banned I would like to thank the person in charge of doing so, if this is the wrong place for a swift banning I would like to know so that these pathetic fuckers can be banned. I haven't seen the server admin on in quite some time so I can't directly address him about this.

After waiting a few days my server finally started spawning vehicles. I managed to fix up a UAZ and a V3S Civ and took them back to my camp area. Upon the next server restart they had both gone back to their original spawns. I guess I'll have to wait until this bug is fixed to enjoy driving around and storing gear.

you can use it you wont get banned or anything, but i think hacked vehicles despawn on server restart

+1. It is such a good map, been playing for the third time today! like 95% of buildings are lootable, refueling vehicles is a breeze! Military loot everywhere = AWESOME.

Creativity is one thing. Having tools to be creative with would be a whole different story. Obvoiusly this game struck gold on its proof of concept and fundamentals. But it needs content and/or tools for players to create content. And I'm not even playing on Hive. I'm on a private server with probably near 100 vehicles in various states of ownership, disrepair or respawn. I think on Hive there is 11 vehicles per server with a respawn timer of like 7 days or something insane. Hive is boring as hell right now. Even the private server isn't that different, you just have more toys to play with. Ultimately the game needs more content.

Do a server reset, see if that helps. I dont mean restart RESET. You might lose your vehicles and tents, but if the heli is worth that much to you, then your going to have to.

Yep, its pretty frustrating. I played with some friends the past days to build up some vehicles. Every time we searched a long time to get all the parts we needed. Yesterday we repaired a bus. This morning the bus was still where we saved it. This evening the bus was gone. After that we got lucky and managed to build up two offroad pickups. We saved them just before a server restart. After that we went back onto the server and both pickups were gone. Just saying, its frustrating...I hope this issue will be solved soon...

Good Evening Guys, Lu135 - By Team Dauntless What happened? Last Week me and my Team were searching up the Area as we found a Chopper, two little Camps (2-3 Tents) and a Blue Truck full of shit. Not only ingame weapons and so on cheated ones two - like M4A1 Holo SD with Grenade Luncher. We took as much as we could and made a camp a litte more away. We took all the weapons to our camp on another server, where we hoped to store, but after a reset all gone. As we logged in again another day we heard the chopper flyin away so we thought lets search for it. Today I was on a run again on the server. I found a Bike at their old camp, which we raided and wanted to find the chopper. I drove all the way to the west and found another 2 big tent camps with lots of stuff like NV,RF,As50, Ammo and lots more Shit. Even Radios and Map (Evidence) multiple. So after that we really knew they were hackers or cheaters so we thought we would just destroy their Chopper if we find it and really on the edge of the fucking Map NW at the Mountain I found that chopper and a nice Camp with 2 Atvs, 1 Blue Truck, 2 Tents and the Chopper. After I just saw it I was attacked and my Mate called me, that i should get the fuck out of there cause they couldnt have seen me trough all the woods. Then they got back in the chopper chasing me through the forest, but I got them on their thail and disconnected after Ejecten and returning fire at the freaking chopper and hiding. Didnt want to freaking die again cause of hackers. [AiC] Mighty Aul [AiC] Blue Devil rtfmplx[AiC] These were the two. Yeah I know DT server. Shit they play with other names. Sometimes with Tag sometimes not sometimes with a different like this one. But the story didnt end - My Mate told me from far distance that they were trying to safe their Camp. I really didnt want back on the server - didnt want to die like yesterday spawing in the air and shit. My Mate told me that he has no clear shot and the Heli. Fuck it i logged back in run like 2 Minutes to a good position and all of the sudden behind me came the freaking Chopper. I turned with my As50 and shot till the mag was empty. I Shot the gunner and then the chopper went down and exploded. Next Thing what happend? Can you imagine what? Guess what? YEAH - after getting in Atv to fall back - "You were kicked (Battleeye: Banned)" - only on this server - and guess whats next? YEAH Serverreboot!!!! Long story short i got all the freaking Coords of their camps and I hope you guys have fun raiding it :) Every tent full of shit Ammo, Guns, Grenades, food and if your lucky you find the chopper 2 Atvs and the blue truck which are all Green and full of fuel and weapons ghillies and so they banned me for killing them its your turn! here the map: Coords: 032/001 - 6-7 Tents full of Guns, Ammo and wtf +radio 052/018 - at the End of the mountain 6-7 Tents full of Guns and Ammo 005/006 - Big Camp on the most west Mountain - here where Chopper, 2Atv, 1 BlueTruck full of Shit 130/015 - 3 Tents Full of Shit at the Cove - There is a bus two - here we found their camp the first time with all vehicles Gear: As50, M4 CCO, M4 CCO SD, M4A1 Holo, M4A1 Holo SD, M24, SvD Camo, M104, all 3 Mgs, Greanades, Satchel Charges, NVGs, RFs, M9SD Nato Ammo, M107 AMMO, STANAG, STANAG SD, M240, M9SD Ammo, Bloodbags, like 25 Antibiotics, tents, all together i think 46 Ghillies some camo and i saw one soldier. If you go all west to east youll find lonely tents which are full two but i was too lazy to write them all down!

Me and 9 of my real life friends have been playing on this server on and off for about a week. And we have done quite well for ourselves, gathered some vehicles, gotten ourselves set up with a good camp, with a good location and everything we could ever need when it comes to weapons. The last day, has been filled with admins feeling hurt that we have been able to raid their camps, steal their vehicles, and generally excelling them in combat. As a result the server suddenly became completely impossible to play on, constant abuse from admins, getting kicked out of nowhere. Often in the middle of a firefight, and hacking, mortars flying down, explosions appearing out of nowhere, teleporting etc. Would be nice if someone could look at the logs and sort out the server, as we've grown quite fond of it, although, if the server is being runned by admins that have no busniess running a server. We can always find a new server. Thanks in advance for checking into this! Regards, Dewie!

1. viewing distance is to 600 meter even if i put mine to 10000 well atmosphere is DEAD NOW! 2. not only the viewing distance is gamebreaking also the artefacts so im gona trow this game in garbage until it gets fiixed cos one thing i loved was the large viewing distance wich is gone now by some ugly fucking fog keep going like this rocked and ur ruined i prefer being sniped by some motherfucker then killing the game atmosphere with low viewing distance its so ugly and it pisses me off evertime i see the uglynes of this game what have u done to day z instad of making things better u nruin them watch the stats of players playing in 24 hours u will see more and more will stop playing because ur game is not different anymore to the other games on the marked well guys see u on bf 3 im done here for now i hope u fix the viewing distance because atmosphere is gone oh one more thing u removed the respawn button u fixed the tent dupplikation but tell me man if i dont duplicate my items with my friends i would have nothing losing my gear to hackers and fucking bugs also vehicles dont save and 90 % of the tents have fun pls let me know when u understand what i mean and ur rdy to fix it if not im not gona buy ur standalone having more fun with bf 4 then

I thought vehicles are database server side not a client side So if hacker can spawn some vehicle into a game it must be a client side but this dont make any sence cause its a server side so this means hacker can get acces into a database or what ? Im really confused now, cause this means hacker can acces the hive database ? Explain it for me please, really...

Hi, hello we have yet to meet a cheater who has killed all our team and stolen our vehicles. He shoots through walls and trees and using weapons that are not from Dayz. He taunts us with his steam id. His steam id: "piggeh" cordially

No! Not a solution, I shouldn't have to erase an entire key chunk from the key because of 1 psychopathic murderer who either hacked his way onto the international hotel, climbed the brewerly, sitting on one god forsaken hill who won't even think to try and loot my body! It's bullshit, when you're that well hidden you don't need to worry about death in anyway, you simply shoot until you run out, spam with the semi auto if you miss one. It's complete and utter crap, and no these anti-material rifles should not be saved a place because of vehicles because when has anyone ever seen a vehicle going down the street and had an as50 ready that could hit their target. Plus assault rifle fire could take it down anyway. /rant

Another thing, They got to our camp at approximately 2:55, 5minutes after wicky logged out. When he logged in at 2:55 they were there stealing. 3 of them with 1 at camp at all times, which means they had to get 1 vehicle at a time, We had 12 vehicles some of which go less than 20kmph on the hills we're near up and down. They're camp is on the other side of the map. We know for a fact that they moved them all the their camp to because we had someone logged out there and he went on at 3:48 just to see all the vechiles there. If they moved one at a time it would take the probably 20minutes per vehicle to switch it. They managed to get 11 in less than 30minutes. They blew up 1 bus. One of the people our sniper managed to kill was holding a huge gun on him, And then when he died his friend teleported away. When he got to the body not less than a minute after killing him he had a patrol pack(coyote) a revolver and some binocs. This needs to be stopped.

I've owned Arma II OA for less than a month. This is what i found out at Battleye.com; ********************************* ! IMPORTANT WARNING REGARDING GLOBAL BANS ! If you are globally banned, read the following rules before sending in a support request. If you don't follow these rules your request/e-mail will be ignored! Otherwise your individual case will be carefully investigated. No one is banned for using non-hack programs (like Fraps, overlays, etc.), picking up or using hacked in-game items, weapons or vehicles, being on a server at the same time as a cheater, or other passive non-cheating activity. Therefore all requests mentioning these things as possible reasons for the global ban are ignored. A shared or stolen cd-key is no excuse. It's your own responsibility to ensure that no one else has access to it. Include your exact (!) global ban ID. The ID is shown in your global ban message ("Global Ban #ID"). If you don't include it your request will be ignored. Do not tell stories. Whatever you are saying about yourself or your situation won't matter. The only thing that matters is the evidence that is gathered for every global ban issued. Do not ask for the evidence behind your ban. No details about it will be revealed. Hackers would love to have access to this information. Do not beg for mercy. If you cheated you will have to live with the consequences. Global bans are permanent and no exceptions will be made. Questions regarding how exactly to get unbanned will be ignored. No support will be given on how to buy a new game or change your cd-key. Again, if you don't follow these rules your request will be ignored! Note that you will not receive a response if the evidence clearly indicates that you or someone else using your cd-key cheated. It doesn't matter if you only cheated on your own private server. Cheating on BE-enabled servers is forbidden, period. ********************************* that all being said here's the shortform... don't waste your time because your concidered to be wasting theirs. I did email them but don't expect a responce. I could care less about hackers/hacking as such and don't have the time to even bother but now that I've been enlightened by the global ban placed on me you may find 1 less player on any Battleye server. What I can't figure out is that I don't mind being killed by users or zombies but when servers screw up by spawn killing into the debug and wiping your items etc. is to much and I allmost quit the game for good. Too many updates etc. I paid for this? There is one thing i did notice which is that my CD Key may have been ripped off. I tried logging in a few times and it said there was a Key problem. That would be Steams fault. I'll be emailing there support for that. It's sad.

The admin didn't ban you; We were in cherno to pick up the guy you killed and we were waiting in the cherno fire station. Finally he arrived but then our other guy started to get internet issues and we waited for him to log in again but he never came back and just as we were about to head out the server crashed. After quite some time (when we were outside electro) I saw first a message about your friend (Himpie) getting banned (just banned, not global banned) by Battleye and after another few minutes I saw another message, this time about you. In all honesty, we didn't ban you. The server seems to have crashed 2 times since that crash and it appears like we have lost our vehicles >.> AGAIN, we didn't ban you. -EDIT- Just to make some things clear, we weren't participating in any firefight after our guy got killed.

Don't quote me on this, but I believe that the reason loot/zombies won't spawn when driving through a town in a vehicle is because you enter the town too fast for the server to spawn them before you arrive. As for the vehicles, I believe they are set to spawn on a timer. From the wiki: "If a vehicle is unused, bugged or left, it will respawn after a minimum of 7 days" I have no idea if there is a % chance of them spawning every so many hours after those 7 days, or if they just always spawn exactly 168 hours after the originally spawned vehicle. However, the word minimum implies there is some sort of % chance for them to spawn after a certain amount of time has passed the 7 day minimum. To answer your question, unclaimed/broken vehicles should be spawned regardless if you are near them or not. This is why people can server hop at the chopper spawns until they find one they can fix, for example.
