Constant 'Peripheral vision'

Recommended Posts

Date/Time: Just now.

What happened: Crazy shit. That's what.

Where: Elektro, obviously. Well, the outskirts.

What you were doing: Running

So, here's what happened.

I logged into this server, I forget it's name. Something-izzle. The server notes when you log in say 'Hosted in your mothers basement!' or something, and something to the effect of 'your girlfriend is a good ride!'

After I logged in, I noticed a peculiar thing: the peripheral vision you get when something is at the very edge of the screen, the white dots? They were appearing ALL THE TIME.

I ran around for a little bit, because I was confused. I could see pigs, rabbits, sheeps, goats, zombies, and I think birds, with peripheral vision white orbs, but even when they were in the centre of my screen.

I crawled to Elektro to see if it worked on other players (no I didn't intend to, and I did not at any time, shoot anyone).

First picture: http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/542930855822489225/401CD11428BD8F484CF81EC4A6ACB639BFAFA319/

Now, you can sortakinda see the orbs through the buildings. They're hard to see because the picture is static, but when you're moving, they are SUPER visible.

Now, in the effort of finding out how big of an exploit this could be, I managed to spot this guy: http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/542930855822486716/B3066B583EF8F04006293A6D5EF5F44E306388AC/

He was on top of the hospital. Probably bean camping. I didn't shoot him, I probably should have.

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/542930855822498772/2AB42E57F27C1104BD9EE1A970D7B99417166B2F/

As you can see, in all of the pictures, he was NOT visible through the peripheral vision, so it couldn't be an exploit used to find players.

Once I figured out how big of an exploit it could be, and gathering information, I logged out.

The peripheral markers did not appear in either the scope of my CZ 550, nor my binoculars.

This state lasted long enough for me to run from the hills above Kamyshovo, to Dobryy mountain.

Version installed is most current for both beta, and DayZ. 1.7.1.5, and 93965.

I don't remember which server I was on. Something-izzle.

My system specs are: Intel i7 1.6 Ghz Quad core, 8 logical processors. 4gig of RAM. A solid state 130 gig hard drive, running Windows 7 x64.

Timeline: I logged in. It happened. I checked to see if it showed players (it didn't) and logged the f- out. This is the first time I've seen, or heard of this.

Also I saw a rainbow over Elektro.

I had the same issue but with black dots on my screen, After i visited a server us 2022 I had them on my screen always. I just got banned from the game Yesterday. I guess they thought i was hacking... Sent a message to battle eye but those assholes wont read or reply to my email. Buch of little bitches if you ask me. Wasted 30 Dollars on this game. Just have to wait for the stand alone version i guess.
