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

[BadAsh (DayZ) 1513]

I have similar experiences with hackers in this game, rare, in fact only once during my 188 hours of SA, but it ended exactly like your video and that is not a pleasant experience in any way .

 

However since your thread title is basically an accusation of every player of this game, at least that is how I understand the term "community", and considering your video content, as an accusation that we all hack, I must admit I don't feel a great loss if you choose not to play this game anymore, because frankly you can go fuck yourself if you insist on  accusing me or the majority of the players of this game of hacking based on one bad experience.

So, one of my squadies made this vid and uploaded it... I figured I'd share here to once again emphasize how much of a sad state this game is in...so sad in fact, that majority of the group I play with has moved to Arma 3 mods... oh wait, I forgot, they're waiting until they are closer to a full release to actually fix anything, which at that point, there will be millions of documented bugs, so about two years after their 'full release', this game 'MAY' be playable...

Yeah those kind of ppl are scum. Your should have went into first person though your aim was all over the damn place.

I know. typically I would have. But I was in a rage, and new the end was near...I loath hackers..

[VoidingNixx 39]

Remember last weekend, that server we were on, where every single person we killed had hacked ammo?  We started with not much, but at the end of the night, had unlimited M4 ammo mags, unlimited SKS ammo stacks, automatic shotguns, unlimited revolver, etc....... it was sooooooooooo, what's the other word for "not-awesome?"

[Arcon (DayZ) 2]

I just leave servers where I see players still around after Battle Eye marks them for missing or change pbo files. 

 

Sometimes you will find speedhackers or other hackers but it is pretty rare now.

Yeah ... that's the exact reason I don't play this game anymore.

I have never seen a hacker on dayzsa yet Im certain they exist but ive yet to find one probs cause I live in australia and were all awsome

[DonGlover420 3]

Yesterday (5/29/14) I had to gear back up because a bandit and her crew saw us waiting for freshies in Berenzino ( I know, screw bandits - right?) and we were executed. No biggie - a fair reason to have to gear back up. After work I decided to gear back up and head back. So after 3 hours, I was geared to the teeth again. I met up with a few other friends in berenzino to scope out bandits. It was going good when some guy started firing an m4a1 at my friends. This wasn't any m4a1. He had infinite bullets, and his bullets peirced through the walls ( As if he had a walls down hack). 

So my question is - when is Bohemia going to actually regulate on hackers? Its appearant that "Battleeye Client" is garbage. As of late, there have been so many hackers that I can't enjoy hunting other players without the worry that my gear grind will be for nothing. H1Z1 is right around the corner. Looks cleaner. The company SOE (Sony) is known for creating epic titles such as DC Universe, and Everquest.

 

Bohemia, if you are listening, I hope for the sake of my current favorite game, that you guys get the show on the road. 2 years later and still in Early alpha stage.

They need to make character names unique and non-changeable and show when players are killed and by whom. Server admins then need the ability to ban users on a server level and BE should give them tools to report hackers globally. I don't care if it breaks immersion. Hackers are a bigger problem than immersion in DayZ... If players want more immersion give them an option to turn off chat.

Been encountering lots of cheaters lately, from nakeds w a mozin 1 shotting several of my teammates while running (moving running) to being fully covered and getting hit multiple times indoors, to what I could only assume is the increased perception cheat (being covered in brush but still seen aka glowing and not being able to hide).

Not sure if I'm seeing more than I did pre-merge of security updates or if it's a coincidence, but it's very annoying. Esp on a game that involves a big farming time sink.

Thanks for the tip about H1Z1.  If hackers aren't controlled soon in DayZ then at least there is another option coming soon.  Hopefully Sony will do a better job at stopping these scum.

im at 100h+ and havent seen a hacker. they exist yes. You will never be able to wipe em out. Unless there is a law, where these guys can sent to prison for making companies lose money and customers. THEN it will be much more less cheaters. Who wants to go to prison because of cheats?  Until then. we have to live with it. If battle-eye reports someone for changed files or something, leave the server only to be sure. But for me, i dont care if i die... Its fun to gather again all my stuff. Its part of the game.

 

H1Z1 will have the same problem with cheaters. They have their own servers, so they are able to watch em. Unlike DayZ. Maybe they are better with handling cheaters, but they also need employees for that, which cost money. Still they will not be able to stop em. Blizzard Entertainment is really good at fighting vs abusers at World of Warcraft, but still they cant do a thing. They sue cheat companies but they cant succeed. Thats the main Problem as already said above.

 

 

And DayZ is still the game for me.

Yeah ssuurreeee, i played some years (many years lol) star wars galaxies, it was epic for the time, awesome uber complex crafting and combat.

Now before you get too much hyped check how ended the story lol, 2 total combat revamp, everytime stripping things away "was needed to fix bugs" theyr words, it ended badly, first revamp, some left, 2nd revamp, userbase halfed every 6 months, they lost the stawars license from the now dead lucasarts (rip) and the game was closed... Execelent management they had, google -> swg smedley and have fun.

EDIT

OMG i should not have done that, googled that to remember some of the stuff happened, you can forget that game, that guy in charge for h1z1 John smedley is the one who killed swg, totally unprofesional and unskilled manager, i m surprised to see he s still in charge..... Anyone who loved swg and know this guy, will never play h1z1 i bet lol, myself too.

They were out in force yesterday, died 3 times on 3 different servers to hackers.  Hadnt had any problems in the hundreds of hours before yesterday.  These guys were warping around and knew where you were no matter where you were, traveling atleast 10 times faster than normal and stuttering along the way.  They are mortal though, got 2 of them, but they come right back.

 

I'm off to Arma3 until they find a fix for this hack, it just ruins your day.

[scriptfactory 620]

Yeah. I picked up DayZ again after a short (3-4 week) hiatus to try out the new patch on Experimental. 3 hours in killed 2 exploiters at NWAF. A few minutes later they were back with SMG AKMs with unlimited ammo, running around in their underwear.

I have been playing Arma 3 Battle Royale and Breaking Point for the past couple of months. I am sure those games have hackers but I am not affected nearly as much. And by that I mean never.

I have 80 hours, and i just get killed by teleporting hacker. It wasn't desync or others connection problems (ping max: 30 ms), because we were 2 hiding in 2 differents bushes at north airstrip, 20m between us, and we saw the same thing.

A guy is shooting at my friend's location. Just before he dies, my friend told me "what's wrong with him?, he has just teleported front of me". I see this guy on my friend's corpse, Then, 1s later, i got his feet rigth on my face. I shot him, i get killed.

 

There are hackers in dayz standalone. Maybe, more than you think. In most cases, you won't notice hacker behavior, because you will get killed before you see them. In other game, you just have to change server, in this game, all your stuff is lost. It's like 4 hours (maybe more) lost, and a new life to start for nothing.

As of today I have had run ins with hackers at least twice a day for the last week straight. It seems like the hacking and cheating is getting a lot worse of of late. Something needs to be done. As it is, I'm done playing Dayz: SA until their anti-cheating system starts banning people for current hacks. 

[nexventor 429]

Anyone else noticing a huge influx of .pbo file deleters? 

 

Is BE banning these people or not possible yet?

New Player here, i flew from War Z because most of the players where Hackers in the end. 

Bought Day Z yesterday and im asking myself if i did the right thing?

 

How many hackers are around these days? Are there password protected community servers? If yes, pls PM me :)

Hello. Currently there are only public hive servers with rules that prevent passwort protection and other stuff. I don't know if admins can set passwords, sometimes you can find pw protected servers, but that may be dev servers. If it is possible, it is a reason for the termination of the server. I hate cheaters, but they have not managed to destroy the game for me. What you have to realise is that this game is alpha, yes it is written everywhere, but ppl just don't accept that for some reason. Hardening the game agains cheats completely independently from Battleeye with sanity checks that can prevent speedhacks for example, or shooting through walls, will come much later in the development. Of course there is a possibility those checks will not come at all, but I hope they will ;).

 

Rule #1:Don't get attached to your gear.

 

Meassure yourself's success in analysing your mistakes and accomplishments, not neccessarily through your deaths, and maybe you can stay happy. And watch Merino's and Wobo's youtube vids for understanding the health system and get a deeper knowledge of what to do in terms of gear and why. If you want to play in a group, you can contact me, if you want. I play in a steam group, we have a teamspeak server.
