What's the current hacking status like in DayZ:SA?

[angry cub 37]

DayZ Standalone is not protected at all from hackers,ive stopped playing for this reason.

 

The latest video FRANKIEonPCin1080p did has a hacker in it with the latest patch,its just not good enough for how much money this game has made,and frankie has gone back to playing the DayZ Mod because he to is disapointed.

Just watched the Frankie vid. Yeah that sucks about the hacker. He will get banned though. I wish Frankie would play more Standalone though. Besides, the mod was rampant w hacks. People nuking entire servers. I think you just have to push forward and find solace in the fact that these hackers will be caught, banned, and wasted their money.

hell get banned and buy another 3 keys for 5 bucks, what's the point?

 

Arma 2 OA was in steam for 30 bucks in the apex of the mod and it didnt stop the hacking at all.

Please do not turn this topic into a Frankie discussion. Stick to the topic.

So what's the hacking situation like atm in SA? Yeah yeah alpha is alpha, I just want to know how bad the hacking is. When it was bad during the mod, I stopped playing for a few months till it got better.

 

 

Here's a video I made of a hacker killing me.  I've been killed about 5 times from legit hacking. After seeing people saying that they've never seen hacking, I had to show you.  I do have hundreds of hours played, well says steam.  Check it out it's at the end of the video.

Don't take this the wrong way but my character looks just like you except for the longer hair. Also automatic shotguns, i did not think they were in the game yet. Hackers can do it but the devs can't.  :D

[CongoBongo 2]

that is insane, i hope i never run into him.

[zfleming12 395]

Welp its there alright, not as common for some, too frequent for others. I myself was on the experimental build today (the one with the 170 mb patch and no patch notes that came out) on one of the accelerated time testing servers and had a gentlemen basically, hopping towards me until he was in front of me to punch me out. He didn't kill me, I got up and moved on but it is there.

Now does that mean I'm going to get all worked up about it? nah, just going to move with the flow.

 

Wish I had recorded this though. :/

 

Edit: An additional thought.

While hacking is in the game of course, it is nowhere near the level that it was in the DayZ mod or (dare I say it) the level to which Infestations has and has had. And for me that is something that has not made me worried with my experience in the Stand Alone. Because its just not so common as it seemed in the past.

 

Still it is an issue, something that can't exactly be dealt with 100% but it is an issue that can handled and managed to a degree that it does not completely ruin the game to a level as bad as infestations.

I wouldn't trust anything TSAndrey says, he's been shilling for this game since last January. The hacking in DayZ is exactly the same as it is in ArmA 2. I base this on the programs I have written for both games, and on what I've seen other people do as well.

You have a point but admitting you have written a program for this game is utterly stupid

a) it has to have been recent

b) you have obviously been using it.

 

Goodbye, see you on your next account.

I'm not asking for hacks, I'm not asking how to hack.

 

I just shot a guy twice with buckshot to the chest/head, and he lived to hatchet me to death.

 

I remember my Mosin once dropped a guy, didn't kill him, but dropped him literally and he got up. (Took two shots to kill him).

 

Doesn't the shotgun do this too?

 

My friend then went on to unload 30-40 rounds into that guy, but he didn't die either. (M4)

 

Is there a glitch in DayZ atm where this happens, or are these hackers? Could they be admin abusers?

 

I also found a 300 rd ammo box with 58 rounds in each slot, 5.56, in a hospital.

Encountered 1 hacker in 116 hours. Mr invincible, and a thoroughly annoying chap he was. Got jumped by him and he knocked me out, took my pack, my lass put a couple of mosin rounds in him i got up and we both shot him more and laid into him. Guy looked like a blood fountain as he run around for 5minutes full of bullet,axe and pitch fork holes. THen he went for a swim for another 5mins, never bandaged. We stood on the coast after exhausting our ammo at him, waitd for him to come out, laid into him again, he just punched us both knocked us both out and took most our stuff and said, "ha ha ha noobs, you fail". Rather amusing, didnt know you could fail Vs hacks.

WTF it looks like you get hit by an A-10 II strike

 

This video not only shows hackers but also shows how stupid the cone spread is in the game! Even a blatant hacker's shot placement looks like a 3 year old firing a PKM full auto from a standing position.

I saw a dude with an automatic mosin teleporting around Berenzino.

[klassent 28]

I've only seen one "hacker" that I can't personally explain with game mechanics; Some fella that was running 20ft above the ground with a Mosin that fired as fast as an M4. He took out our group of five like it was nothing, but we were fully geared, had reached the point of boredom, and were en-route to the Cherno Shitshow to go out in a blazing hail of gunfire. As such, we didn't shed any tears, but it was a pretty shocking find since I'm always a skeptic when it comes to accusations of hacking.

 

No series of glitches or bugs can help to explain that particular scenario, though it's the only time I've had reason to cry foul thus far in SA.

Yep, the hackers in this game are fairly obvious when they're hacking and leave no room for doubt.

I just offered my DayZ experience. I didn't say that there are no cheaters, I said I didn't encounter someone that I'm sure is a cheater. But there are definitely less cheaters in DayZ than in Arma 2.

you mean the hackers that dont care for their keys, i'm sure there's a bunch more that only uses ESP/wallhack with discretion, so they can get the jump on others while seeming legit Without mentioning the ones that abuse this fanboy common sense that almost everything = desync, alpha, etc that roams here on these forums and use cheats on the gap that these afirmations leave.

Day Z needs to implement VAC..

[scriptfactory 620]

I normally post on /r/dayz but they have a strict "no hacking talk" policy.

I play on European servers and I've had a lot of problems recently on both low- and high-pop servers. I don't know if hacks are becoming more prevalent but I have been noticing a lot more people speedhacking and shooting me through walls when they shouldn't be able to (e.g. I am on Rify and the whole room I am in starts exploding with auto-Mosin fire...) It is starting to make my DayZ experience become frustrating when I gear up for 30 minutes, hop on a high-pop server and see people teleporting in around me.

Something like FairFight and/or VAC would be great. Thanks! :)

[The_Monk 320]

After 160 hours, got hit by my first hacker today.

 

We hit him with 2 mosin rounds, suddenly he teleports away, we begin to bleed and our rifles won't fire anymore.

Thise second one seems to be from the arma 3 dayz chernarus plus map. I don't see how a hacker can make objects that are indestructible become destructible as i am sure that is handled server side.

This keeps happening to me, too. This morning two geared guys ported to me and chased me down with baseball bats. I tried to shoot them with a full 60 round clip. Two bullets came out and then my weapon suddenly won't fire anymore. 

The frequency of these has increased within the past week or so. Was a new tool released or something?

The fences/trees were always destructible in the mod. Makes sense that they are in standalone.

 

Pretty much the only thing you can't blow up in the mod is the green mountain tower.

Vac is already in the game along wth battle eye. Personally i don't feel it is good enough, all we will have is the same cat and mouse we had with arma 2 even though we were promised something different from the standalone but it seems this promise has been broken

 

Edit : for now

I'll just reiterate this here as well: If you come across any "undetected" hacks please send any information about them (links, etc.) to me.

Yeah lets add WarZ's "anti-cheat"! Because it actually does something ... oh wait nope it's just a piece of shit stat-tracking system that bans players for being too good and ignore's the hackers.
