mannyfresh 1 Posted June 21, 2012 There's a hack around that doesn't get discussed too often. It's a hack that gives players the ability to see name tags of all players, vehicles, tents, and zombies by simply pointing in a certain direction. It's configurable by range. i did some research and the authors are selling this product and claiming it to be undetectable. I was just curious what (if anything) is being done to stop this game breaking hack from continuing to run rampant. Makes it even more dangerous to store items in your tents/vehicles.Also, a way to combat this would be some sort of time delay on looting items from tents unless you have the password/key or something. Similar to how Eve has their Sov system working. Any thoughts comments appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Muggles 19 Posted June 21, 2012 It's a shame that as long as there is online gaming there is no end of arseholes looking to exploit it and make themselves feel better as a result. My best guess is they were bullied at school. Pathetic individuals who have no doubt, never had a girlfriend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shuu37 7 Posted June 21, 2012 Ok, hacking is bad - but your suggestion wouldn't really work. In real life, I would be able to walk up to a tent in the forest and take what I please, I wouldn't need a passcode.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also doubt you'd be able to sprint indefinitely with a couple tires in your backpack in real life either.Sacrificing realism to prevent hackers from cleaning out weeks/months of work in such a minor way (you will still be able to loot tents it would just take more time) I think would be acceptable.

ZedsDeadBaby 2287 Posted June 21, 2012 Why would we not just fix the hack?Your suggestion is like trying to cure a cold by wearing a giant clown nose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mannyfresh 1 Posted June 21, 2012 Why would we not just fix the hack?Your suggestion is like trying to cure a cold by wearing a giant clown nose.Fixing the hack would be ideal, but I'm not sure if Battleeye is capable of discovering who is using it. From what I've read it's been around Arma 2 for quite some time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every five minutes my squad is asking "Who's this in front of me?". Totally immersion breaking and unrealistic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Totally immersion breaking and unrealistic.[/quote']You should be able to make a group and have tags enabled FOR your group imo.That'll happen if you all use the default face and wear the same clothing.The issue is even if each of you chooses skins #1-10 to differentiate, the chance of a stranger using one of those skins is equally likely. How fanboys can defend this idiocy is beyond me. You have to doublecheck in ventrilo before shooting some one b/c everyone has 1000 clones that *aren't* in your group.

BossFi 90 Posted June 21, 2012 This type of hack would explain everything suspicious that has happening to me by a bandit who plays on Norway 2 server. Too many odd things happening to just be a coincedence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MyalTerego 0 Posted July 3, 2012 i said the same thing and got hella flamed for it, but whatever. This hack definately exists, ive seen it being used, for testing purposes. I belive however, that this was fixed, and bans were sent out, and might be why that kid ddos'ed the hive. He was a little bitter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
