Odd coincidence or.....

[Gabbermatt 2]

So  my ISP is AT&T and although I hate everything about it, it's pretty stable and reliable. I want to get that fact out of the way. In the 7 months I've had them, I have only ever had one issue where we lost connectivity and it was during a storm.

On to the problem:

I was in novy sobor, pretty geared up. Had an M4 food for days, enough medical supplies to stabilize a small african village, my guys gets hungry so, i park up against the wall and open a can of beans and start chomping. Right when I start eating I hear footsteps right next to me. I look to my left and there's a dude, no gear, just shirt pants and fists. He punchs me one time. My internet COMPLETELY dies out. Modem goes red, lose connection to server. 15 seconds later it's goes straight back to being green (not even doing the reboot sequence it did the one time we lost connection, just red, to green.) I never got kicked from the server so i just immediately came back, red link went away. I looked around just in time to see him run out of the church, with ALL of my gear.

By the time i realized he had my shit ( he left me wiht my axe and my respirator mask...) he was long gone.

Normally I'd just chalk it up to bad luck but ffs, I've only once ever had a disconnect and my second one in 7 months just happens to happen when some guy punches me in DayZ?

Is there some sort of hack or utility floating around that essentially would DOS your target through the game when you punch them?

Had it happen a few times in similar desperate situations. Dark, up above Novy. A motorbike trundles by with two dudes, my partner is darting across the field, i am behind a tree swapping guns out for my sniper as the bike turns and makes a beeline for her. The dudes jump off and start spraying stanags like ants at a picnic, i scope in..fucking disconnect. By the time i get back it is all over and she is at the coast. 

 

 Maybe he punched your isp ?

Probably just a coincidence. Always keep an eye out them freshspawns.

I seriously doubt it.  Many players have been reporting lag, servers down, disconnects, etc. today.

[Hetstaine 10852]

Ring your isp and ask if anyone took a bruise to the cheekbone.

I try to but without knocking me out or handcuffing me how would he have been able to take my shit? I thought you couldn't unless the person was somehow incapacitated

He punched you so hard his fist entered the real world and took your internet out!  

 

 

But no.  Hacks can't disable your interwebs or would be screwed.

I can only assume you're talking about DayZ Mod, one would hope that securities measures would be somewhat updated..  :|

No, but in all seriousness, if thats possible, then i am not playing dayz if it risks losing my porn.

I wasn't even playing DayZ and my TV went off, now tell me this was a coincidence and not a haxorz!!!11penguin

[tommes 331]

Can you confirm that your whole internet connection was down or was it only the DayZ server? Did your Teamspeak or whatever go down too?

everything went down, I was on TS waiting to meet up with a buddy in novy, lost it all for about 15 seconds.

[Bakercompany86 347]

Its possible, but unlikely.

 

Probably just a shitty coincidence.

Does your ISP disconnect you after 24 hours of connection? Had that nightly at 2 o'clock and had to change the setting in the router.

He meant that DayZ is his porn.

Get it right.

The bandwidth requirements of the game seem pretty high when players are in close proximity to each other, especially larger groups with containers - ammo boxes/medkits/protective cases. Had this when my smaller group of 3 of us joined up with some others to make a group of 8 on a high ping server last night, I literally was perma desync'd so had to leave the group until they'd split up to do different tasks. The problem was worst when we bunched up within about 100m.

 

Likewise I had a large desync whilst 1v1 melee fighting someone earlier in the day.

 

I'd be interested if you also have a low up/down speed like myself (check speedtest.net if you don't know). It's probably just because server traffic hasn't been optimised yet.
