Bifftastic 6 Posted November 11, 2012 It does, your best bet is to play on a private server. A lot of them are right on top of banning a hacker when they come in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lern2spell 1 Posted November 11, 2012 So...hackers exisit? and are they common? ....Also how would I join a private server? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derpy_Hooves (DayZ) 4521 Posted November 11, 2012 1st.. Lern2spell?? don't know if sarcasm or troll....2nd you buy ARMA2 +OA and download DayZ for free, then basically sticking to private hives these days majorly reduces the chance of meetin hackers and such.

smore98 225 Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) 1st.. Lern2spell?? don't know if sarcasm or troll....2nd you buy ARMA2 +OA and download DayZ for free, then basically sticking to private hives these days majorly reduces the chance of meetin hackers and such.Let me make that list a little clearer...1. Purchase Arma II Combine Operations (Or buy Arma II and Operation Arrowhead individually like I did, stupidly...)2. Download DayZ Commander (personal recommendation).3. Install DayZ from the installs tab of DayZ Commander (remember to direct the correct folder!)4. Run Arma II and operation arrowhead once that is finished (also get the correct beta patch).5. Look for servers that has a cloud with an X inside of it next to the name of the server. (This signify's a private server)6. Enjoy the damn game.Yep......or you can also just look how to get it online... Edited November 11, 2012 by Somore98 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fraggle (DayZ) 15720 Posted November 11, 2012 Your best bet is to go to the "private hive" area of the forum. There you'll find 100's of people advertising their servers. Try and find one that looks well established with a good community. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
