what got messed up in the last few days?!?

[commanderbash 102]

the game has been pretty stable for the last couple weeks, but today was an entirely different story. it started with my character being deleted TWICE, every server i seemed to log onto was crashing/restarting (4-5 of them) and my character was possessed. in spats my point of aim and/or location would just drift in some random direction with no input of my own, this actually pushed me through a wall of a second story building thereby killing me instantly, and a second time pushed me into a buildings walls where i was forced to jump run for a good 10 minutes to get out of it.

at one point running along a dirt road my point of aim and location drifted in so many  directions for a good 4-5 minutes that i lost track of which way i was going. there was another point that my character was stuck running forward over the same 100m stretch for a good 10 minutes just to pop back at the start of it again.

 

i don't what has been changed in the last day or two, but i think it broke more then it fixed.

I've experienced some of those same issues recently, only not quite as severe as your instances...

There were denial of service attacks made against the DayZ servers. Like a couple days ago or something apparently.

DDoS, or DoS?.

 

People throw around the letters (or word, at this stage?) DDoS all of the time.

It looks like a good ol' traditional DoS from here, otherwise the damage would be much more; especially since the forums were only "down" (as the elite 12 year old script kiddie put it) for about 1 minute.

It was a fast regain from the packet-spam.
