Hi there, Was hoping someone could clarify something for me. Does a server updgrading to Beta patch 1.62 and above lose all vehicle locations? The reason I am asking as there was some fishy activity regarding server restarts shortly after I raided a base and took some vehicles. The server restarted several times about 10 minutes after they were taken. Thankfully I had already saved the one I had taken at the my stash point. However, I returned and took a second vehicle, which I then used to find a third in a completely different part of the map. My team-mates and I used these to drive around looking for choppers (i'm not a huge fan of vehicle hoarders, I say use em or lose em!!). Whilst parking up vehicle 2 and 3 for the night, the server went down (again) for quite some time. When it came back up it was using the new beta patch 1.62. However, upon spawning both vehicle 2 and 3 were gone. It just seemed terribly fishy to me. Does any know if upgrading wipes this data? There are allegations before against this server about them intentially restarting in order to get gear/vehicles back. Thanks in advance. TL:DR - Does 1.62 wipe vehicle data?

Got 1. All the SD mags you can carry.. Anyone interested? Looking for: Snipers(m107's, AS50's, SVD's), Vehicles/chopper on populated US server with frequent restarts. do NOT need: NV, GPS, rangefinder, ghillie suits, LMG's or any assault rifles. Offers are to be posted on the thread and not PMed to me. Trade will happen with you unarmed, and alone. I will entertain offers posted on the thread ONLY. All pm's will be ignored.

Ok. so you get shot, instantly assume its a hacker because this is Dayz mod and 'everyone' hacks nowadays.(maybe he fucking hunted your camp down, or followed you guys?) so, you rage shut down the server, like 5 times.... and this is to prevent the 'hacker' that decided to hack a 5 man server? who the fuck hacks a 5 man servers? not one hacker will sit there and join a server 5 times to get your pathetic ass gear or vehicles that they could spawn in a second. think about it?

How would it be possible to know exactly where a camp is? Was server hopping involved? If so why even look for vehicles and not just loot? You had plenty of time to shoot to kill and loot but you did not do this. Was there some sort of plan already decided upon? also, Where was the said helicopter in this video?

Dez, some personal advice. You have to divorce your feelings for loot and vehicles. The more you invest in them emotionally the more torn up you'll be when they are taken away from you. And yes, they will be taken from you. It's part of the game, man. You cannot hold onto gear and vehicles forever. This Mod isn't a personal playground for you and your friends to play in. It's a public space where people harass and kill each other for funzies. Put up your server and let em go to town on your stuff. Accept that this happens and move on buddy.

tents are counter to the idea of single life game types, its true, having them in the game though is necessary, once you have geared up, its only right that to continue the hoarding fetish which becomes a passive trait once you have everything and done everything, that you have some place to put stuff, and no, vehicles aren't the only places you should be able to store things, i guess the only problem is that the knowledge of a previous tent is known by the gamer in a fresh spawn so, there's nothing you can do to stop that apart from deleting them on death, but still, that takes away a potential treasure trove to be found by someone else, i say let them stay, its not really harming anyone any more than say the uncontrollable hacking. it is one of the only methods of stockpiling and well tbh i've been playing since 1.6 and i've not yet bothered to drop a tent anywhere so its not like everyone uses them. there is no real way of punishing death in a game because noone will play it simple as that. it might be fun the first couple of times but then it gets boring having to deal with some arbitrary system punishing you for failing, when losing hours of game time should be incentive enough to not die. i only log in for brief periods to check out new iterations, the glitches and the amount of hacking has shunned me away currently, although i've not yet ran into a hacker i have my character from 1.7.1.5 i lost my ghillie in 1.7.2.4 and so if i die i've lost probably a week of play time invested purely into one character, that alone makes me not want to put more time into it or run the risk of being killed by non-legitimate ways. also stalker rocks (currently playing misery mod myself), so does metro, dayz should definitely steal the hazards from those games, such as radiation and chemical spills, the power stations and other areas should be death traps not only from infected but from neglected machinery and other problems. hell they should just outright steal the anomalies and have everyone on the server running for cover randomly twice a day.

Hello, i've recently started playing DayZ and I'm really into it, I got a bunch of good gear and i was wondering how to succesfully make a camp, i know how to pitch tents and all that stuff but the main thing i want to get answered is will the tent always stay there on that specific server i put it on (with all my loot inside) after server restarts/patches? and what about vehicles? any answers greatly appreciated :D

My server is connected to the hive?? I have the following issues: No vehicles spawning The country flag on Six Launcher for my server is blank If anyone could tell me how to fix this, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Tents are a very very carebear mechanic in a mod that prides itself on being cruelly difficult. Even without item duping and tents, survival supplies and ammo are extremely easy to come by. It is not difficult at all to quickly be walking away from food, drink and ammo because you simply cannot carry it all. Are the devs happy with the survival aspect of the mod basically being an inconsequential hoop to jump through? And the Zeds themselves little more than a nuisance? Were the devs intending to make a small-squad, mil-sim pvp mod about camping l33t weapon spawns and assembling vehicles? Because for all the philosophizing about creating freedom, that is what the mod currently is. Right now, DayZ is about "gearing up". And "gearing up" as gameplay is mainstream mmo gameplay. It's pure WoW. Doesn't matter if it happens in an open-world environment or not. The mod starts out strong, immersing players in intense, choice-based gameplay and moment-to-moment survival. But it fails to sustain that. It falls apart. The "choices" rapidly devolve into watered-down ArmA pvping over weapon spawns. Or just sniping (and counter-sniping) for shits and giggles. The fetish for military hardware and the inside-the-box thinking of "gearing up" as gameplay, along with being able to save gear through death with tents, are core design elements that are counter to the stated purpose of the mod.

Same thing here. Is even worse on vehicles. Neither the itens nor the vehicle itself get saved. This sucks...

US 2109 5 days no vehicles.

Logged in their server at Balota Airfield and started playing. Lots of activity around there, manage to obtain 5-6 kills with my as50 campin in the hills. While im doing this helicopters keep flying back and forth from cherno to west of the airfield. All of a sudden 2 black SUV's start rollin up, they get out and start shooting at the chopper flying above with his M107. I dont think they know where I am so I start shooting at one of them and they get into their vehicles. I fire about 10-15 rounds at one of them, manage to take a wheel off. During this time I had about 50 zombies on me from all the firing so I run away and take care of them. I go back to my spot, I don't see the SUV that I damaged anymore. Instead I see the other fresh SUV right in the middle of a field so I camp it for about 20 minutes thinking he was just waitin for me. I spot a survivor in the distance and take him out, then say fuck it ima just go up to the vehicle. As i'm approaching the vehicle all of a sudden it disappears and there is a dead body laying where it was. I assume I killed one of them but i'm not certain, wasn't paying attention to kill count at the time. I get to his dead body loot it, hide it then I look over my shoulder and spot a dude with an AS50 about 30 meters from me lookin right at me in the open field. I'm like SHIT and turn around start shooting him, I see 2 bullets hit him, one in torso and one in the arm and he doesnt even flinch!!! he's still lookin at me, I start to run in zig zag and he just starts walking to his left. I manage to get behind a building and I see him walking parralell to my location and I shoot him twice more and nothing. Then im like fuck this im out. Do not go to this server. Also before I joined while I was loading up the kill feed started goin crazy and all 50 people started dying, I quickly closed the browser. This all happened about 30 minutes after the mass kill

Arma 2 is amazing, do a halo drop into a hostile zone, regroup, take out enemy AA, take enemy vehicles with an IR strobe, call in air strike set up an LZ for evac, evac and do an AAR. Also I'm glad the ammo tracking is working now.

looking to team up with some fun players with some vehicles. doesn't matter what kind. we just feel like messing around and living a little! message if you wouldn't mind adding a friend and I to the group! Now I know someones going to say this is a bandit trap or some excuse like that but we can provide supplies and what not. we just need some transportation. Unfortunately we are just very very unlucky at finding vehicles but we are very experienced. Pm for skype and ill be on tonight for a little longer and most of the week

This is starting to get old and on some servers its being used to cheat and create `loop hole - private servers` The issue in question is how low the server moderator should be allowed to set the max ping. From what ive read there is no official limit and have seen a few instances where this limit is set unreasonably low (60ms on one server) to allow the server admin and his buddies to do what they will (all they have to do is rent a server right next to them or one w good 'back-bone' lines (which is why sometimes you get 50ms on servers 1000 miles away) IE, 1. Farm without worry of PVP allowing them to stock pile huge amounts of advanced military gear (which isnt hard on public servers..............) 2. Stock as many vehicles as they would like and easily repair and refuel them making deaths negligible 3. Creates a situation where the value of their gear is low allowing them to take bigger risks than standard players (IE, by having tons of gear at camps that are say.... close to shore.... a person from a said private server / group could gear up, jump to another server and PVP taking excessive risks. Not caring if they die and when they do. They go back to their private server and jump in a vehicle on coast. drive up and re gear. drive back down and switch servers) THIS IS BAD FOR ALL LEGIT PLAYERS AND IS BASICALLY A SUBTLE GAME BREAKER. It is as bad or worse than cheating as its difficult to pinpoint and regulate WE NEED AN OFFICIAL WORD ON HOW LOW MAX PING SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BE SET IMHO 200ms is good. I would leave this open to the general player base as a poll though........... TY

I have had to deal with hackers many times, UNLESS THE SERVER IS BEING THUNDERDOMED OR EVERYONE DIES INSTANTLY OR BEING TELEPORTED, That is when I shut down the server. Never do I restart it for vehicles being stolen. We were circling your camp for a good 15-20 minutes and we were laying suppressive fire in the area. After we left the area for no more than 2 minutes you decided to shutdown your server. You have already lost dude, You cant honestly expect anyone to side with you. If you think you did nothing wrong, then you shouldn't be hosting any server.

Day 6 without vehicles for our server now.

i got this crap as well. Nothing to do with vehicles or anything. there was just 1 noob on when this happened and i was just running around. UK They [bE] just got through apologising for banning 1000's of innocent users now this sh1t. Next they gonna wrongly put random players names onto the 'Sex Offenders Register' and then apologise for that, the Bellends.

This is just a whine post. When you find some friends in the game you'll be the same as everyone else. You'll stockpile weapons and vehicles and medical supplies and ammo and you won't give a fuck. Me and my friends have camps on multiple servers. We use the cars to hit up military loot spots and petrol stations disappearing off to our concealed bases. On some servers we have 4-5 vehicles, multiple AS50s and stuff. We plan our operations on the map before we head off to maximise efficiency and shoot on sight anyone whose presence poses a threat to our operation. It's incredibly fun. All the game needs is more comms to allow new players to team up and friendly soloers to avoid shooting each other.

I didn't ban anyone first of all, I can turn the server off If I am going to bed. You were not shooting at me when I finally turned it off.. I gave you guys your fun time with the chopper and I shut it off WHEN I WAS DONE FOR THE NIGHT. And to XBamaris, Obviously I can't shut if off when I am killed or whatever but I can shut if off if I am told there is a suspected hacker period. I was dead for a while before I restarted the server but don't know how long since I was taking a smoke break I banned no one and seriously our chopper has been gone for the past week! This game is so buggy vehicles have been reappearing and disappearing especially with this new patch including our off road truck, bike, and uaz.

Zoop, is admin able to locate vehicles (heli for example) on the map on the last save point?

So yesterday night I had found a VS3 on the NWAF LOADED with absolutely everything high-end and high-value...I was pretty happy. But unfortunately the server is being shuttdown in 5 or so days, so we are forced to find another server and hopefully some tents/vehicles. Today I was server searching for a good reliable server...and unfortunately I get spawned at Komoravo, which is 15ks-ish from our base camp. So I decide to head to Zeleno supermarket for tents. What do I find near a barn on the way? A bicycle! I was SOOO happy. Even happier that when I found the VS3. It was such an amazing moment. I rode it around for about five minutes until BE kicked me off for script restriction 98 (I think). Myself and another player were kicked off. I believe that sometimes BE kicks people off if they're in vehicles. Since then I've been trying to get into the server, but it sticks me on loading :( The server was reliable earlier, and it had not so high population and amazing ping for a US server. I REALLY do hope I can get back on it. P.S. Bicycle <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 I miss it ;'( EDIT: Would anyone please be able to justify what Script Restriction #98 is?

Quite recently, over watching the server logs, I see people teleporting randomly, I look at the locations and they seem way off, I've also looked on the forums to see if it happened before with the same command and it does. setposatl is a command that is executed by DayZ whenever a client is teleported away from his character being killed in debug forest, I replicated it and it some how works. Showing that I teleported and battleye logged it, without kicking or banning me... For Script Restriction #55, I found something interesting, if you blow up a helicopter, the servers population plays a scene script and explosion script that Battleye disallows, I guess this is the same for when a hacker spawns a helicopter in? I know people can't rejoin and will be kicked over and over again until the server restarts. Not everyone that teleports is hacking, according to the logs. This is confusing, anyone have any idea on how to either stop people from getting kicked for the vehicles being spawned or blown up?

It's hacked in. I found one about a week ago and posted here on the forums about it. It will go poof when the server restarts, so don't put anything valuable in it. The brown ones the above people are referring to are probably the military vehicles (UAZ, old offroad, etc.). This is a tan pickup truck - it's very similar in appearance to the white pickup (hilux), but is definitely hacked in.

Found this truck in full green condition near Cherno earlier today.. Have been driving it around for hours now. I checked the wiki http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/Vehicles it's not on it but the white truck is. Are there new vehicles in the recent patch? It was sitting by itself on the back of a hill, no one near it or protecting it plus it was empty.
