Griefing servers

Recommended Posts

I logged in to some servers today that seem to be setup just to grief players that join the server.

I had one server where the lobby background screen was being spammed with large ships on the map as soon as I logged in (i was the only player there), in a matter of seconds there were thousands of ships and my fps dropped to 1 and then ArmAOA.exe crashed to desktop.

And on an other server I logged in and constantly got the message that I was killed and got the 'you are dead' screen and the statistics display pop-up. That was while logging into the game and before I got the normal black screen with white text that my character is being setup (or whatever that login loading message is). So the being killed is a hoax and everyone that joins the server gets the same message.

I don't have the name of the first server, but the last one you can see in the pic, both were the vanilla version and not private hive.

Those servers have had a script injected in them from a hacker, the servers are not griefing you, the hackers that messed up the server is. That last "death on spawn" script I've seen often on the server I'm an admin on, only a server restart will fix it.

okay, because I was the only player logged in I thought it was serverside.
