Build 1.7.3 Rolling Update

[Dr.Duff 211]

they removed eating beans in vehicle due to dupe bug.stop complaining already.

I'll complain about something if I don't like it just as you're complaining about me complaining!

Really man you just can't let it go. They are trying to stop duping which is a much bigger problem than eating in a vehicle.

[Maxxgold (DayZ) 62]

Your 30 second combat timer is crap, before when a hacker would teleport himself or me, I could just log the hell out before he killed me.

Now he gets that satisfaction of murdering me and causing me inconvenience.

I do like the idea of people not being able to just log out soon as they get shot at like most do but... this hurts legit players too.

Maybe resolve your hacker infestation before implementing something of this magnitude?

If your still playing on public servers then this will be a problem for you. I run a private white listed server and you can play without worrying about this happening to you. If your still playing on a public server then you get what you deserve. Even the professional gamers like Sacriel have ditched public dayz for private DayZ.

Private hive with active admins til standalone. Public hive is screwed. Even devs say so.

Yeah, a lot of the fun is taken out of the game when you can walk five feet to a tent that has every gun hacked into it... you know everyone else has these guns too.

I think it's been over a month since I've seen someone with anything less than a m4a1 cco sd.

At least that script restriction deal helps with the hacked weapons.

Thanks for the advice though, I'll probably be looking into a private hive.

We are always happy to add a player that doesn't hack or cheat to our community. Log on to our server and I will add you to the White List.

Aren't you the guy who run the "tool" (cheat) to spy any user on the server? How you talk about "cheater free" if you're the first to cheat? Oh yes, but you're doing it for a good cause, only to catch the "real" cheaters. Correct?

From his topics and latest posts, I'd say it's a simple case of giving the admins on the server a spectate tool to combat cheaters; whether the admins abuse that or not I wouldn't know, but I think you're being too harsh unless you've played there.

No he hasn't played there. I'm one of the best admins out there. Ive invited him to play on my server which he has never done yet he comes into every thread I'm in to harass me. He made a whole thread in the cheating thread saying how I cheat because I use the spectate tool to help admin my server from cheaters. My users came on to support me but he could care less. Ive reported him to the moderators so hopefully they will take care of it.

Jesus lord, bitch central? Just be happy what has been accomplished so far.

What i'm trying to tell him is that none care about him.. it's the message he's trying to share that is dangerous: he may be honest but there might be other 100 that would use this cheat to... just cheat!

[dallas 5195]

Advanced admin tools are used all over the ArmA community various servers, well administered ArmA servers are always busy servers.

Some admins will use the tool to cheat, some might actually use it to get rid of hackers.

* I really don't care if I am being monitored by an admin, since I am being killed by a hacker, "EVERY SINGLE F***ING DAY".

In some cases "Walkerdown", you need to sacrifice some things to get better things down the road.

But there is some good news, I've finally found a white-listed server, with good admins, backups in case of a hacker attack and even backups for players that could be hacked.

* Today, I finally had a day of peace and no hackers, it's quite a relief.

Some of the best suggestions and changes are gathered from player feedback, complaining about something is but one way to get the message across no matter how annoying it may seem, it's good to be able to gauge just how good some ideas are, I'd rather people bitch and moan than say nothing at all.

Complain till your heart is content I say.

You know that is not what he is saying and please try to think a second before you jump up to be Mr. Dayz Defender who bravely spouts off a foolish rebuttal to any DayZ criticism.

So you are actually telling me that there is no way that the guys that coded the actual can find no way to counteract the community of hackers out there and their scripts. Somehow the community can script some way to detect when I am being fired upon and put me in "combat" mode, but can't figure out that something is amiss when my walking goes from altitude 0 to altitude 200 in less than a second? And to have anther script to immediately teleport me back to last known good position.

You are just spouting off some garbage you read elsewhere without thinking it through and it helps no one.

No, they can't. Scripters inject their scripts directy into the game memory, so it can't be easily detected. It's a lot different than you think

I just tested it. You can still alt+f4 while in game menu. You can even alt+f4 while in unconsciousness. This method without actually killing player who alt+f4 while in combat is useless.

Now placing bets on how many more "What?! I can't eat/drink in a car? WHAT ABOUT REALISM!?" replies we can get, from people who refuse to read the thread for the answer, before we hit... let's say... Page 20. Any takers? I say 6.

Page 20? I say at least 10 more :)

And how about the "This update is great for hackers cos we can't Alt-F4 anymore" replies -- I'm guessing there will be many more of those by page 20. All bets are on!

[HVG 5]

Love all the work you've done on the game Rocket and team, however I literally cannot play on public servers anymore, waaaaay too many script kiddies ruining the game, The only fix I'm sure we all want to see is a SECURITY fix please please please.......

1.7.3, my friend got hack killed by some guy with god mode within 15 mins of being on AU2, "Waka Waka Muthafucker" was the players name responsible for killing, even direct chatted us to mouth off.

I might just abandon this till Standalone is good to go.....

Excuse me? I happen to play on both a private white-listed server and public servers, and I'd really like to know: Where are all these scripters everyone seems to be complaining about? When BIS/BE/devs finally brought the hammer down on a bunch of common cheat scripts about a month ago, I started playing on public medium-pop expert servers again, and I haven't encountered a single "hacker" since, not one! Now obviously, my personal experience doesn't represent the community as a whole, but frankly I think they've made great progress in fighting the rampant cheating. Scripted-in weapons are still out there, and duping is still a problem, but the major game-breaking cheats like thunderdoming etc. are much less frequent than they used to be, at least in my experience.

[tommes 331]

Haven't encountered one either for a long time. But I don't play that much and mostly the custom maps anyway. The trick is probably not to join populated servers. Hackers tend to look for high player count because they need an audience.

That's true. Even so, I've ventured onto servers with 10 to 30 players and still haven't met any major cheaters -- plenty of BE script restrictions in the side chat tho. But maybe the expert servers are less attractive to scriddies *knocks on wood*

Can we get bigger backpacks :)

[tsandrey 379]

When will people realize that DayZ devs can't and have nothing to do with hackers?! As long as Arma is open like this, hackers will exist! Arma was made open on purpose, and it was never meant to be something like DayZ.

Why is this such a big deal?

I understand people were using this as a dupe exploit but i cant tell you how many times my squad has been transporting me and a strike team and sure enough i have blinking food. its bad enough i have to listen to my charecter smack his food as loudly as possible but now i have to tell my team mates to land the freaking chopper or stop the car so you can eat? just make sure you do it before you drive off or fly off. other wise your going to be kinda stuck stopping everytime someone gets hungry or thirsty. Im sure it wont be a big deal everyone eatig and making sure your all full before you take off. Just make sure you're stocked with stuff heading out. good luck Survivers!
