LigerRider 82 Posted March 1, 2014 So today, two of my friends and I were running down from the north when we came across one person. We circled him, had our guns pointed at him, and I went in to handcuff. The guy sounded pretty confident, he said "I have no guns, I just have one request..." and at that very moment, my two friends and I all had our DayZ crash on us. Not disconnect, crash. We came back on to the server pretty quick, my one friend spawned and got shot instantly with his own gun, my other friend was in the middle of nowhere with his gear, and I was about 200ft behind with absolutely nothing on my body, but still "healthy" "energized" and "hydrated". I instantly logged out, then came back, then had all my stuff again, but my one friend was killed. Is this a hack? Everybody was still on server to my knowledge, at least it was still full when I restarted DayZ, so I'm assuming only us three got crashed.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sgt.Oddball 71 Posted March 1, 2014 Do you live in the same area? It might of been a localised dropout. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colekern 1364 Posted March 1, 2014 Do you live in the same area? It might of been a localised dropout. This, combined with the new log-out system sounds like the most likely option. Perhaps the disconnect caused a crash. I have NEVER heard of any hack in any game that can target client computers and crash a specific application remotely. If this is a hack, I can almost guarantee you that is wasn't designed with DayZ in mind. You may want to scan your computer just in case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We all live in the same city, but approximately 20 minutes apart. There was no disconnection whatsoever, internet worked fine, DayZ had no connection errors at all. I've played a ton of DayZ, and this has never happened ever before to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope you and your buddys dont expirience it again for your story is not much sifferent than the ones I read not too long ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
