"NO QUITTING"

[Blippy 26]

So after a couple month break, I decided to pick up DayZ again. I update everything and log on. My old character was reset it seems, but no big deal. Anyway, after circling around Cherno and getting some basic stuff, I take off into the woods. As I near a town in the holls, I decide to lower my gamma some, so I hit Esc.

Suddenly, my entire screen turns a bright grey with the words "NO QUITTING" in standard ArmA 2 font. Aside from a single thump thump of a heartbeat, all I heard was hitting the ground like I went prone, and regular ambience. My controls were locked and all I could do was alt-tab and close the game. Upon joining the same server again, I was greeted by the gender selection screen and spawned a new character.

I know that DayZ had anti combat logging features added, but I had not attacked or been attacked in at least ten minutes, and did not notice the presence of other players, and I wasn't very close to any zombies at all. Anyone have any idea what happened?

Play on private hives only. You were hacked.

I had a feeling, but I wasn't entirely sure since I hadn't seen anything like that before.. Thanks for the confirmation.

Quitters never win. That's why I'm a proud alcoholic.

I guess I should play in private, whitelisted servers. I just really like the public hive because if my favorite server is empty or otherwise unavailable, I can join any other server I want and continue where I left off.
