Lag hack?

[LiamD 13]

I have just been playing on server UK410 and as I approach a couple of players laid out in the middle of the airfield my FPS drops from 75fps to a mere 6/7fps and my ping goes from 19ms to 180+! Is it possible that some people are able to make the game lag for other players at their own discretion?

I found it impossible to aim, and I was absolutely defenseless so I will admit it...I combat logged, and I never usually combat log unless it's blatantly obvious the guy is hacking, but it was hugely suspicious two guys just laid their with a Humvee and a little bird and their AS50s as if it was nothing, and as soon as I approach unseen, and from behind...BAM lag, lag, lag.

I have found when someone starts hacking on a server especially spawning in gear that server gets more lag till it resets

Yes it is possible, that lag was probably caused by them broadcasting large/inefficient scripts to your game client

It could just be dsync. But I do notice that servers do seem to slow down when a script kiddie joins.

stay away from that server....and 417.

I have been watching this closely to. Your 100% correct man, it is very easy to see with a monitor watching performance. I have noticed that even smaller scripts make things change. Its how I know to leave a server. Nice eye bud

In my expirence with lag hack (from World of Warcraft PvP) it worked other way around - hackers make themselves lag as hell so others could not hit them or even estimate their position. But WoW is mmorpg and DayZ is fps so there can be reverse lag-hack around.
