LuckyDutch23 0 Posted November 8, 2012 So I was playing on US 1567 and some really weird stuff was happening...First, as I was just chillin in Chero, a GPS suddenly pops up in the bottom corner of my screen with some random dude talking about my mission and some guy named "Henry"Then, a player rides into town on a bike, and after taking rounds from him I return fire and kill him, as I'm walking to collect the loot, the GPS pops up again and my character puts his weapon on his shoulder and starts dancing, I kid you not, he starts dancing while being eaten alive by zombies. Thinking its probably some sort of hacking I log out,I log back in about 2 minutes later to see whats going on, I spawn back in in the tower I was in before I killed the other player, and his body and the bike are both gone. Then world war 3 breaks out in Cherno, including 2 choppers and about 20 players, about 5 minutes into the battle both choppers crash and everyone gets teleported to one spot, I die instantly. soI re spawn, and low and behold I spawn back in in the tower I was in 15 minutes prior with all my gear like nothing happend,So my questions are1. What the hell was the whole GPS ordeal?and 2. Has anyone else had the same thing?I know the teleporting is hacking but still...it was all extremely weird.

Welch (DayZ) 756 Posted November 8, 2012 It was all hacking, obviously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuckyDutch23 0 Posted November 8, 2012 Well I heard about the mythical radio transmissions from green mountain, so I just wasn't sure if they were related somehow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LuckyDutch23 0 Posted November 8, 2012 Well also I was just curious, as first it wasn't anything bad, but then I did after I kept re spawning in the tower. Hackers suck, those bastards...cant wait till standalone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spankerfist 44 Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) You can't wait 'till standalone? What's that going to change about hacking?.... The game isnt going to run off scripts. Also i suggest you read the lastest post on the developer blog. Edited November 8, 2012 by SnakeDoctor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rooneye 135 Posted November 8, 2012 Well also I was just curious, as first it wasn't anything bad, but then I did after I kept re spawning in the tower. Hackers suck, those bastards...cant wait till standalone.All though, i really hope the stand alone DOES get rid of hacking. And I do think it will get rid of some/most of the hacks, but i still think hackers will find some way to exploit even in a more 'closed' engine. WarZ has been hacked already, still alpha of course so maybe they will fix and I dont know how 'open/closed' the WarZ (War Inc really) engine is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scopeshot 63 Posted November 8, 2012 You can't wait 'till standalone? What's that going to change about hacking?....The reason stand alone will change the hacking situation. The devlopers moved to a last restort position, they had nothing left to do but this option. The way this game opererates is that the client (your computer) handled most of the information and sent it to the server. Well now its the other way around. The client cant do shit now except play the game basically. YOu cant execute scipts or anything. Everything will be handled server sided. And the thing about hacking when the game is like this is you would have to invade the server, which is a very difficult thing. And also illegal, getting caught doing this would mean jail time for anyone stupid enough to attempt it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
