Battleye Hack #2?

[zombietampons 6]

Well tonight I decided to take a break and play a little DayZ so like always I turn on my Stream join the Private Hive Whitelisted Server that I'm apart of spawn in and I'm at my Chopper that I took earlier that today.

So I fly it down to one of the bases my team has taken over and once I get landed and start running over to our supply tents I get a message

"Battleye Kick: Battleye Hack #2" ???

This makes no since, is it an error? Earlier a friend was kicked for Battleye Hack #3?

Has anyone had this happen to them?

I was Running the Pandora Desktop App in the Background 1st time running it?

Here is the Link to the Stream Video has well as Me Raging throwing a new Asus Tablet up against the wall (was the closest thing too me and was unharmed)

I've also submitted this to BE asking why and what caused this to happen.

Also to add, I was not banned only Kicked for the Server, I rejoined the Server a few minute later and was fine?

All I could find was that it may be caused by a suspicious delay between client and server data and is usually associated with a popular map hack parsing data while the game is updating, can be triggered by legitimate things too though, VPN, firewall etc so it's possible this Pandora App was related. It's a kick so nothing to worry about really.

There used to be an error similar to this... I think it was BE script restriction #42? Anyways, my squad has lost a good 4+ helicopters from that. It always only kicks the pilot too.

All is good. The Tablet has a Mil Spec Case no harm done. Wife told me "and that's why I love you". lol

The is a common misconception.

The heli crash wasn't caused by the remote execution kick. The remote execution kick is caused by crashing the helicopter. Many people blame their piloting mistakes on that BattlEye kick claiming the kick is what made them crash. It's to the contrary.

That kick is issued when a player executes the "create giant fireball at my location, because I've crashed a helicopter" code. It was a very common thing for hackers to disguise their nefarious code to look exactly like the explosion code call. This is why servers kick for it, since it's not possible within the context of that filter to determine if it's a legitimate heli crash or if it's someone trying to hack. So, the pilot has already crashed the heli and told the server "create a fireball at my location" when you get kicked for it.

As for the GameHack kick in the original post, it can be a myriad of causes. Anything ranging from stock ArmA2 code being modified in a nefarious way to a generic hack program that's not necessarily ArmA/DayZ related running on the computer. There's no real way to find out precisely why, since BattlEye understandably keeps that information under wraps (otherwise hackers would be able to ask what mistakes they made and work around them).

I would still recommend treating this seriously, though. Avid users of the "BEC" server tool make use of its optional centralized ban system, which submits all "Game Hack" kicks to their centralized ban database. Any server owners who also use the optional centralized ban list with BEC will then automatically inherit a ban for your GUID. Kind of an automated community level global ban. Not many server owners know about or care to create the requisite account for BEC, though, so it's often quite rare that you'll run into a server with the optional centralized ban list in place. My servers, though, are part of the list that partake in it.
