whi5kyjack 1 Posted January 17, 2014 Already were starting to see hackers flooding in, reminding me why I stoped playing the mod. My last 3 deaths have been from being ported around with the last one being ported 50 feet in the air and falling to my death, the last thing I saw was the hacker waiting for me to hit the ground.. Its only a matter of time for ppl to get sick of wasting hours getting geared up only to die to blatant hacking, maybe like the mod ppl will need to play on whitelisted servers to have a chance of enjoying the game. Problem is, at the moment we cant even password servers to try and create protected communities. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antonioajc 500 Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) Dude, when you encounter getting teleported into the air, instantly log out, simple as that. Oh, and by the way, play on protected official servers. I have yet to encounter a hacker. Edited January 17, 2014 by AntonioAJC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Korsbaek 1778 Posted January 17, 2014 Nah, hackers didn't ruin the mod. There were some hackers, but I've never, in my 500+ hours of playing, encountered more than one hacker. Yeah, ONE. I also haven't met a single hacker in the SA yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have yet to encounter a hacker. Is it a matter of logging out immediately or disconnecting your internet connection? I have yet to encounter any script kiddies myself, but I want to be prepared for when I inevitably do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BelMarduk 169 Posted January 17, 2014 give it time, realize that there are three levels of things going on with the devs...First monitoring whats been released, analyzing that data.Thats what we play and they test.Second, the known bugs and the bugs we find...Thats 'us' griping about bugs and content suggestions.Third, what they are planning on putting in.Thats them changing priorities based on first and second and what the data says.Now all three of these things are separate, yet flow together...Separate as much as our perspective of only getting the 'released' part.in other words... ALPHER. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

klassent 28 Posted January 17, 2014 The only hack I've yet been victimized by has actually cropped up on two occasions, where someone has managed to turn their Mosin into a machine gun with seemingly unending ammo capacity. There have been some other suspicious incidents, but I can only point to them as suspicious as opposed to blatant hacking, and in any case, I'm more than happy to have them burn all their tricks during the alpha, before the retail launch. It's annoying that I have to plod back through servers and make the NWAF gauntlet run, but I can't call it the ruination of the game; it's an annoyance, plain and simple. If it means they show their collective hands while the game is still in early development, I'm willing to put up with the frustration. :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DayZ SA is barely past the functional proof of concept stage and you expect them to already work on anti cheat features? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karmaterror 982 Posted January 17, 2014 I think 1 month (or just over) is a maaaaybe a little early to say "hacks will kill this game" lol. Yes its frustrating but so is lack of features, but like those will come with time, im sure hackers will fade with time. Signing up for an alpha is kinda saying you will put up with it for a chance to watch the game grow :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fitzee 248 Posted January 17, 2014 Hi. Of course cheating will ruin your experience. I guess I've been lucky so far in SA. In the mod I saw plenty of it, teleporting, mass killing, city&airfield nuking, etc, etc. Even on whitelisted servers lol. Since SA doesn't work on the cd-key system, at least they should get perma-banned. Well, at least the ones who aren't willing to buy the game again, and again. Regards.

Ineedscoffee 464 Posted January 17, 2014 Well now chicken little, games been out for about a month now, in early alpha. Take your craziness elsewhere. Hacks will destroy any game that those in charge have given up on. This one seems alive and well eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antonioajc 500 Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) You know what will help? That one "system" in Infestation that made items spawn in "inaccessible" places in which players would grab and get banned. But of course, these items can be grabbed through walls and roofs! /s Edited January 17, 2014 by AntonioAJC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BI should ask EA and Activision how they got rid of hackers in Battlefield and Call of Duty with their gazillions of dollars. What...? They didn't?! Punkbuster works for crap? You're kidding me!

shicack 2 Posted January 18, 2014 Hacks are what made me quit day z mod. They are starting to become more frequent in day z game. I wish they could come up with a solution. I understand it's difficult if not impossible but rocket said they've basically been trying to make the skeletal system of the engine secure for the past 2 years. Has 2 years of work been undone in one month? I say fix it like magic johnson fixed his aids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheWeedMan 132 Posted January 18, 2014 Now now, lets not flame the OP as he's got a point. The forums are already starting to flood with hack reports and it will only get worse before it gets better.Yeah its only a matter of time before BE and VAC catch up but lets be honest here....why introduce new content etc in the next patch when the content we currently have isnt locked down securely.These weak spots should be the first priority to be fixed and then build upwards from a solid foundation.The more content that gets added the longer the code becomes which will present more vulnerabilities in the source....making it harder for the implementation of fixes as the weak spots will be buried deeper.What they should be doing is purchasing any known hacks, see how they are injected and fixing the code to put a stop to it.
