wufnu 0 Posted June 16, 2012 With the recent banwave that went out, I'm sure most hackers have been banned. However, can people still do it if they've never done it before and been caught? I'm just curious if the loopholes that allowed them to do what they do have been closed or not. I was making my way through Stary today, nice clear day, and then suddenly I'm prone and it's dark/raining. I see something about "Bitterness is ......" (didn't read it all) and suddenly I'm falling from the sky. I hit the ground and die. I tried to respawn but when it went to fetch the server info it was stuck at 0kb of 0kb. I'm assuming this was a hacker and not a bug. I'd like to think that these security holes have been closed but if the hackers are still able to kill everyone on the server I can't help but feel a little disappointed :(Update: logged on another server and I'm still alive with all my stuff, apparently I wasn't synced when the hacker did what he did. Still got my stuff, lucky me, haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
#pree 0 Posted June 16, 2012 There will always be hacking. Anticheat software is always reactive, meaning a new hack has to be used before any AC software can be updated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
novaseline 3 Posted June 16, 2012 Atleast, they do permanent bans here.... All games should permanent ban for cheating.Like bf3, all they do is erase your stats. Some bullshit.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wufnu 0 Posted June 16, 2012 Yah, I always expect cheating. I've never seen anything like this, though, where they can seemingly control the server. This goes way beyond stuff like "looking through walls". One would think such control over the server should be easier to block than, say, a wall hack or the like.

PITN (DayZ) 2 Posted June 16, 2012 Script kiddies will always be causing trouble. Think of it as an act of god and unavoidable. Kind of like a car accident or a meteor falling on your head. Also, pick a different server as some of them don't run a tight ship. Checking Six-Updater I can see 41 servers that are not taking anti-cheat measures appropriately.EDIT: I see that most of those 41 are not legitimate servers but clones or personal edits. Be careful what you join. Especially those that say no-cheats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
