are there already many hackers in this new version?

the only reason I have not bought the mod game in the past was by excess hackers

I wonder if this new version of the game there are already many hackers

is worth in terms of hackers? (in terms of hackers only, I already read the other topics about the qualities and defects of the game in alpha)

I heard some of them were messing around, but I did not encounter any in 30H+ of gaming.

Moreover, latest patch added few security things, and more are coming. According to me, this should not stop you, your missing some nice times ;)

I haven't met any hackers yet, but I know there are some as I've seen videos with hackers.

Nope, it's a lot better than the mod, and will only get better as time goes on.  Probably the only thing people will be able to do is ESP or map hacks, but if they're bad at the gunplay it doesn't matter.

 

The real problem right now is server hoppers and combat loggers.

There are definitely a few hackers around, which was expected. But it's nowhere near anything like the mod had to go through.

There was never a game without hackers and there won't be one, unfortunately

After everyone pretty much knows how simple it can be to script in the mod they were trying to jump on the SA and do the same.

 

They literally wanted to do the same and were trying to inject scripts from the ARMA 2 Engine.

 

They are trying hard and as long as the anticheat isn't activated there won't be many fixes. But eventually it will be better and it really isn't bad at the moment.

Ran across my first one about 3 days ago. He was quite retarded, he figured out how to TP somehow. TPd right in front of me playing "Bodies" by Drowning Pool thinking he was a badass and going to scare me . . . I emptied a mag into him. He didn't figure out God Mode . . . that is all.

There are a lot of games you can't cheat in :-)

I got killed by one last night, just teleporte around me in circles and shot me. This is after it took me 4 hours to get all my stuff. That is 4 hours of my life wasted to get killed by a hacker for fun who was not even trying to hide it.

 

I am warning you to STAY AWAY from this game until an update sorts the hacking out. It was the whole point of a standalone, a zombie Apocalypse survival game can not have hackers who teleport and kill everyone like it is team deathmatch. I will not be playing the game again till this gets sorted and you should not either. On call of duty its not so bad being killed by a hacker because you spawn with your stuff. On this game you spend hours building a good character only to be killed by a hacker its a real joke.

Never encountered one. 40 hours of gameplay here.

I have not encountered a hacker in my 90 hours of playing standalone thus far, at least no "obvious" hacks like teleporting etc not going to say they don't exist as people have obviously run across a few, and I have seen screenshots of an ESP hack, which I imagine once everything is secured down, ESP and aimbot are about the only hacks you will encounter, and that only affects people within range(no global visibility or shots across the map).

 

In the mod me and my friends encountered at least one hacker every second play session or so, sometimes more, the main reason? 1 hacker can affect everyone on the server in arma2, then hop servers and repeat, they can really mess up a lot of peoples fun very quickly and easily.

That is not possible in SA, and even as new holes are found in the engine, the team has access to block them in the engine, unlike the mod which could not modify the arma2 engine.

 

So I wouldn't be worrying about hackers in terms of getting standalone or not, what you should be doing, is watching youtube videos or streams, finding out what is in the game right now, and decide if it is absolutely something you want to play and be a part of the alpha process.

Make sure you read all the warnings on the steam store page etc, expect bugs, report bugs(on the bug tracker), expect character wipes, expect low performance etc.

For example, even though it was the first time we had encountered it, last night when we joined a server after our last server went down(dunno if restarted or crashed), we encountered "invisible zombies", I ended up getting killed and losing everything, horrible bug, but I'm fine with it because I know it's been reported, and know it will be fixed, alpha after all :)

 

There is limited weapons in game right now, but more to come:

Guns: mosin, m4, .45 cal pistol, .357 magnum

Melee: your fists, crowbar, baseball bat, pipe wrench, splitting axe, fire axe (I am sure I am missing something...)

 

So yeah, watch videos and see if it is worth it for YOU, I love it so far, but mostly because I am familiar with how alpha works and see the future potential, but that is me, not you.

 

Remember, alpha is expected to last 6-12 months, and it will stay the same price during that time, so you can buy it any time before beta for the same price, and get it once there is more content and mechanics in game.
