From what I've gleaned over the past few weeks, the hackers have an overlay on their map that shows the location of every player/vehicle and allows them to teleport at will. I've run into a few teleporting-superman types that will appear right next to you and eat bullets like the terminator. The other breed seems to be the subtle-hacker (could just be a duper) that spawns ghillie + full gear (+ vehicles) but still plays within the general "rules" of the game (to an extent). This method of death was a first for me though, it's the first hack I've encountered where the guy didn't actually attack me but used some weird zombie script or something. And just to clarify, it wasn't like being sniped by a 1000m+ AS50 where you die to a silent bullet. More a-kin to being glitched/stuck, losing control of your character, then keeling over dead after a brief period.

It'd be a bit different from backpacks since tents & vehicles have separate slots for weapons, items and tools.

My week. Monday:Finally get a chopper. Pilot d/c's and we plummet. 2 gunners managed to d/c before dying. Pilot loses his licence as we bitch at his NZ net. Hours later after a restart i get the chopper and fly back to base at night with no map (didnt realise it comes with built in GPS) Tuesday: Log in to find our base which has been undiscovered for 2 weeks (many vehicles) has been busted, only thing taken is the chopper. Everything else is exploded. suspect hacker. drive whats left of our supplies on a 1 way trip south. We got ambushed trying to scavenge more chopper parts and lost 1 guy, kept the vehicles though. swapped servers looking for a chopper and got one fixed. sweet. Flew around for 20 mins but the server kept crashing, Probably was being caused by the chopper. decided to let a fresh spawn dude test the eject function... happened to be over trees at the time. Parachute works fine but when the server died 10 mins later the chopper reset to its last save position in the trees and explodes every server restart. Wed. Get another chopper, park it on a 1 degree slope while looting someones base... it rolls into some trees. managed to get it airborne but over compensated and crashed nearby in a clearing. Recovered after reset and flew off map to save. As i was landing i got "kicked from server" for no reason. chopper doesnt spawn at either location... noticed it flying around in electro a couple of hours later. suspect hacker again. open fire on chopper and wing it, whole server gets bombed. Def hacker. Thursday: Mate finds a chopper on another server, i log on and start running along the beach, see a dude looting a huge crate of guns/ammo. run up to him tell him "you really shouldnt hack" and spam him in the face with my SAW. get to island, fix chopper and as we are taking off i get shot. Not the chopper as my mate was fine but just me. Suspect hacker again. get back to body and find G36 rounds on it.... yup. Choppers not only lag the shit outa servers and make them crash but are almost impossible to keep. Being only 1 on each server is just too tempting for the MANY hackers that rape this game. I've spent HOURS trying to get them and only had them for minutes. only crashed once and that was trying to take off when the rotor blades were touching a tree. was pretty funny though, what do you think happens when you hold a choppers blades still? the body spins instead. Trying to take off while spinning around trees is difficult.

admins can read logs and they do have info of locations of loot/vehicles/tents/players. Hackers are required to teleport/thunderdome/inventory-hack/insta-kill/invis/invincible/etc. Both are issues, one can be solved by rocket. The other will bury this game.

The player "theruss0n" that typical plays on the server US 1054 utilizes the file alteration exploit to remove flora from the client and uses it to snipe players and vehicles from ranges not possible or in locations not possible to see through. EDIT: PROOF. I Found this video on his youtube channel. You can clearly see his character name listing him as theruss0n and off in the distance, you can see he HAS NO TREES

I think if you have the latest beta patches you can't play arma2.exe online, only arma2co.exe which has different servers. (Found about this reading on BI forums). When I try to launch arma2.exe (the green icon), I connect to a server and it goes fine until the last loading screen, then it crashes and gives an error related to battleye. I did some research and saw people having the same error, the answers said they should reinstall and update only until the beta patch 94xxx. edit: oops sorry didn't saw the initial post was about single player, I had this problem also and it was because I was launching the beta patch armaco shortcut, launching the normal armaco shortcut worked fine, otherwise the missions and other stuff wont work or will have missing vehicles etc.

your a group hackers, plain and simple. I hope you goofs get banned from the main Hive because the shit you guys do on that server is complete bullshit. I'm not the only one to post about your clan and the server CA1. Like I've stated before THESE GUYS ARE HACKING DOUCHEBAGS WHO WILL SAY/DO ANYTHING TO AVOID BEING OUTED. so just keep off CA1 an avoid these horrible players who think they are the tits because they exploit a game that still in its beginning stages. you goofs can say what ever you want , but your all now known as hackers and the more people know the less bullshit they will have to put up with. you think you are so clever but your not, your a bunch of cowards hiding behind a computer screen. I've never even heard of half the guns they use in Arma let alone which ones are in dayz besides the gear I've picked up off the ground/ other players. I'm not some little fag who has to google all the spawn locations of weapons and vehicles. I LIKE TO HAVE FUN WHEN PLAYING A NEW GAME, I don't need my hand being held or cheats/hacks/exploits to enjoy something. you guys are just ruining the game. so no wonder you get bored and resort to this type of shit. People are taking a stand against users like you and soon we wont have to deal with this horse shit 24/7.

Oh, there are hackers and cheaters? Nah, who cares. We are unable to do anything, so they must be part of the game. Oh, there are people who lock their servers? Shut them down and let them lose all their vehicles and stuff in it!!! These evil bastards. You, DayZ, have some good priorities. I can't understand it. It's ok, if I lose my stuff by getting killed by someone else (no hacker), through an accident or by my own stupidity. But it's not ok, if I lose it by mass teleport, mass kill, teleporters etc. and YOU forbid the only way to stop this shit. I had so much fun playing with some friends via TeamSpeak (up to 10-12) on a locked server. This game has never been better. My crystal ball says this game has a very bad future. And that's sad.

Mhmm... I don't know, I've never seen that many players going around in vehicles, but I don't have the numbers to make an estimation.

So my friend and I had a helicopter the other day. About to land in Berezino where....No message received.... Helicopter ended up being back in stary sabor and we lost a lot of loot that didn't get saved. After we made it back to the heli we fueled it up and attempted a short flight to the NW airfield. Unfortunately being that it was dark, we ended up in Pustoshka. Had to leave it there in search of engine parts we broke after the emergancy landing. After going to the northwest airfield, breaking my leg, I signed off for the night. Spawned back in the next day, low and behold, helicopter flies over my head. Now today we were driving an old hatchback we fixxed up, got out to shoot some cows. I looked over and said "OMG". I was looking at a helicopter crash site. Take a guess what happened next. No message received. Lost the car miles and miles away, helicopter crash site was gone. Does that seem awful suspicious to anyone??? Oh and I got shot at stary sobor while running back to the place the vehicle was last saved. P.S enough of the B.S having to save vehicles. This game is suppose to be realistic isn't it? Well then, vehicles should save every few seconds just like a player. I'm getting sick of this B.S and almost at the point of quitting DayZ for awhile AGAIN. P.P.S I had a DMR, ghillie suit and tons of other good loot on me when I died to. :(

hi, If it is released as a DLC with ArmA3, a lot of collision bugs like doors breaking your legs, AI pathfinding and vehicles will be "improved" since BIS will implement PhyX in RV engine. cya. Nikiller.

I am one of the Admins for AGW & I can speak directly about our recent server issues. Our server has been the focus of several hacker attacks with the mass teleport & mass kill scripts... as well as a few others that have been rampant & on a daily basis for the last few weeks. Unfortunately there is little we can do at this point to stop the hacking & the only option we have, other than simply allowing hackers free rain on the server, is to lock it immediately after each mass attack. We haven't locked it on the smaller hacks, just the ones that effect ever player on the server the time of the attack. We do not keep it locked at all times, nor do we use the locked time to loot/move other players vehicles/gear & we also do not have a chopper flying around looking for other players vehicles/gear... the average DayZ players has enough to deal with from hackers, players & Z's, we are not adding to their problems by stealing from them, your stuff is exactly where you last saved it & we are trying to preserve your status as well as others on the server. When a mass teleport occurs we try to shut down the server as fast as possible to hopefully keep as many players alive as possible, it's doesn't always work, but at least some of the players can rejoin on a low pop server, move back to where they were without losing all their gear to the hacker who would have shot them, were it not for the Admin intervention. Unlike many servers out there, we are trying to actually Admin our as much as we can, not take advantage of yet another DayZ player. Also, I have not received any request for info from you ether here or at our web site, your attempts to contact me or any of the other Admins is welcome, we would be happy to answer any question you have.

So I had just got in a fight at the NWA and was left with 3k blood, so I headed East from the most Northern Barrack of the Airfield and came across a farm type building that looks like this: It was night time on the server and I saw two survivors entering the building, I stayed back and observed them, they left and ran into a forest, I quickly followed them making sure to stay out of sight running between trees etc. They came up to a big open field and at the edge of the field there was a White Pick Up Truck and a Dirt-bike, both in working order, I assumed they were both theirs as they were crouched next to the truck, I didn't particularly want to kill them and I was hoping they would give me a blood transfusion but as this is DayZ where almost nobody is friendly I decided not to chance it and shot one a few times killing him (He disconnected so his body disappeared). The other one ran around the truck and hid there, I moved in on the truck and spoke to him in Direct Chat saying something like "I don't want to kill you, I only killed your friend as I was nervous about approaching two players", there was no response, I moved up so that we were both on opposite sides of the truck, but he moved a couple feet back and hid behind a hay roll, which was a pretty smart move. I went prone behind the truck so I could see underneath the truck and shoot him if he tried to rush me, I then saw in direct chat him talking to me. Now this went on for about 5 minutes and we had actually just started chatting about stuff, which was weird in such a hostile game, he complemented my ambush, he said he had just found these vehicles, we both started to trust each other, but were still understandably nervous, I'm guessing I gained his trust by saying "If I was going to kill you, I would have done it when you were typing", which I would have as it would have been so easy, but I didn't because I felt like this guy was pretty cool for not DC'ing etc. He asked if I needed a Blood Transfusion, now I really did need one, pretty badly in fact, but I didn't want to give away the fact I was on 3k blood because he might just think I am an easy kill, so I lied and said I had 10k but I wouldn't mind a transfusion, he said he had 11k. We both decided the best way to go about this would to both put all our weapons in the truck so we can actually tell if the other one had put away his weapon, we both went ahead and did it with nobody pulling any tricks, we then proceeded to back away from the truck and gave each other the transfusions, went back to either side of the truck, retrieved our weapons, decided he would take the truck and I would take the bike and went our separate ways. Now this is a rare type of encounter in a game like DayZ but it has nonetheless restored my faith in other players, and is one of the reasons I love this game. If he does read this, I want to thank Juggernaut for being a good sport and a cool guy, and would also like to mention your friend is a douche for DC'ing like a bitch even though he had already died. Thanks for finding his post man

I've actually had the same happen with an admin i forgot the server though. we crashed our chopper and the server reset right when we got to it. When it came back up my buddy killed someone that was near it (it was actually stil there. Only time out of 7 choppers it stayed.) So then we all 3 start getting kicked for "ghosting". I dont' have my copy running in steam so sadly I can't take screens. Practically every server I've set as a home server has currupt as admins but they do it in ways that would be hard to prove like just randomly reseting and things of that nature. I used to play in 1438 which had hardcore rules and we got a chopper and found the admins clans camp and stole everything so after that they turned on the radar were you could see vehicles nearby and your location for like 2 days. They got all their stuff and reverted it back to hardcore rules.

Alright, it's getting late and I'm not going to bother searching for them any further. SE 20, Vehicles last seen heading north from Olsha. Finders keepers :)

Title. I'm at the northeast airstrip btw (near Olsha), and the two vehicles I've seen this playsession (a white pickup truck and a tractor) have been heading north, most likely towards someone's hiding spot. Where do you think they could be hiding, and is it worth my time searching around for them? Thanks.

Between this and the rest of the vehicles, 120km/hr would make sense. Balanced by the campers.

This post will be a review of the game, "Walking in the woods for 6 hrs" Just so I can say I did it, I went to nearly the top of the map walked all the way from West to East kind of looking where I thought I might hide one. Then, I walked from the NW corner to the coast. It may have been more than 6 hrs, I dunno. I didn't find squat except a sketchy bandit tent base that I already knew about. So in 6hrs, I saw 1 rabbit, 0 zombies. Not fun. Would not do again. It is not a game. I'd rather be at work. I can also say if all the vehicles are in one place, it can take a ridiculous amount of time to find them. Anyone suggesting this is how the game should be played is a troll. So, I recommend Days until vehicle respawn dynamic from 2 to 7 days proportional to the following How far is it from the nearest building (every 1000 meters further would make it respawn 1 day sooner if not used) How many vehicles a person has saved (every vehicle you save decreases respawn time by 1 day if not used) The fixes have to take into account people do work hard to fix up a vehicle and should be able to keep it, even if they have a job in real life :) The reason clans take ALL the vehicles on a map is to prevent people from using vehicles to find theirs, gaaaaaay Basically if one person saves 7 vehicles at the edge of the map, he better save every single one, every day or they all poof, while at the same time if he has one hidden somewhere clever, he gets to keep it for 6 or 7 days without touching it.

I'm in. I live in ATL Georgia. Eastern timezone UTC -5. I play a lot. I have had numerous vehicles and currently carry an aws. I play stealthy, moving from car spawn to car spawn, never shining a light. I find one, and move from downed chopper to chopper looking for gear. I use skype. Let me know. Why do I want to join? My RL friend just went on vacation so now Im rolling solo. Need ppl to help fix cars. A team of about 4-5 sounds right.

I used to agree until I realized how easy it is to cover the entire map with a small group of people. Until the unlimited sprint is taken away, or the map doubles in size, people should be able to park them wherever they like, including off the map. It is far too easy to run into the woods and find a camp. Only a couple of the vehicles are even camouflaged, the rest stick out like a sore thumb. I agree that vehicles shouldn't be allowed off the map, but players also shouldn't be able to run 200km in 30 minutes. It appears to me that one is a tradeoff for the other. Walking into the woods and looking for enemy camps is far too easy right now, and it should be a much bigger and life threatening decision people should have to make.

And actually, that's the entire reason I got into the log in the first place. It's painfully obvious when someone dupes, when someone has things they're not supposed to, etc. I don't find it 'fun' to use for anything else, because having a bunch of vehicles is pointless, and the entire thrill of the game is never knowing when accidentally shooting your clan member and having a guy in a building 800m away hear it and look out and proceed to one-shot both of you before you even know what happened. Zombies are irrelevant, player interaction is the adrenaline and losing 'stuff' is the fear of death. I mean really. You're there, alone, in the middle of a town without military spawns, where no other players have been (or especially died) since the restart. You have one L85, then you have three, it's not hard to figure out. The hard part is when they bitch at DayZ staff and try to get you blacklisted, so far nobody has done that to us. Edit: And Strife's entire fear is that the one thing we have right now to bitchslap hackers and cheaters will be removed and/or abused by admins.

When I first saw these two I heard a guy around the corner shooting off a silenced weapon, so I hung out for a bit on the fire hall, I heard two vehicles coming by, it wasnt a veteran server and the guys driving the UAZs, I had seen them like 20 minutes prior while I was swimming to the coast after respawning, they were running from hordes of Zeds both with guillie suits, I caught a glimpse of their names long enough to match it with the two I killed 20 minutes later, They drove by twice, then came back, parked their UAZs in the middle of Elektro, got out and ran away from the Zeds then they DC'd and the Zeds diappeared, one logged back in and I was lucky enough to catch him off guard with a headshot. I heard screaming coming from behind me... Somehow one to the guys must have been relatively new because even though he had a guillie, a UAZ and a Silenced weapon that wasnt an M9 SD, M4 SD, or a MP5A5SD, was knocked down by zombies, so I shot him while he was down, Before hand I looked at them with Binocks and noticed that one of them were carrying what looked to be like a M14 aim with a silencer, it wasnt an M4... I know the difference, It was a long barrelled rifle, it was not a carbine, and it had a silencer.... If thats not hacking I dont know what is...

Server Name: US198 (Your) Timezone: GMT Date/Time: 30/7/2012 10:41am Server Administrator('s): not sure, there was an admin present but didnt note his name down. What happened: about 2 days ago we started playing on us198, myself and some mates. After wandering around in the wilderness for an hour or 2 we came across a large camp with multiple vehicles and many tents. When we found the camp the server went down. At first we assumed it was a crash but now whenever we connect they immedeatly shut down the server. We reconnected today upon seeing the server was live again thought we could finally go raid the camp we found. About 5 seconds into the game we were kicked and the server shut down. It came back a minute later but when we tried to connect we recieved an error messge saying we have been battle eye banned for ghosting. One of my friends hasnt even seen the camp and wasn't there when we found it the first time around and he has also recieved a ban just for connecting. Evidence/Proof: Everytime we connect the server shuts down. The same people appear to be present in the server and we have been banned for no good reason. We figure they are only using the server as a camp server for themselves to rearm and collect vehicles and good weapons in peace. As a side note were ot bothered about getting in and the camp anymore just thought it was very unsporting and maybe something would be done about it. Thanks in advance, Calaghan

If you had really tried to get in contact with the admins you'd know some hackers have taken a liking to that server and messed it up. The server wasn't locked to reclaim vehicles and consider yourself lucky the server was locked otherwise you would have been caught in a major lagspike that flat out kills you. Oh, and I saw you guys raiding the vehicles the other day but didn't engage you. Good day.

EDIT: My post was removed by creator somehow, Reposting. To start with, I am not an abusing admin, how could I be? Our server host already has a feature that shuts down dayz servers that are locked within the game. I am actually devistated, literally devistated at the amount of bullshit your trying to land us in. Indestructible Heli? Satchel Charges? We found that Heli on Skalisty Island and we repaired it with parts we got from Solnichiney, not only that, but that AS50 TWS you speak of, we killed a hacker that kept on calling airstrikes in Elektro and got his AS50 TWS, and we've been keeping it in storage ever since, as none of us want to use it as it is against the rules, hence why we didnt use it, but now that its in your use, you are the one breaking the rules. We have a VERY large clan on this server, and there is currently another clan that we work with also, we set a global search to get our vehicles back, which we did along the border of debug plains - where everyone puts their camps/vehicles. As I said before, I am litterally devistated at the fact you accuse us of hacking, We are a community for crying out loud, not some leet haxors clan. We bought our own server for OTHERS, such as yourself, not to hack, as that would be plain stupid.
