Influence_X 51 Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) I've been playing dayZ official vanilla servers since release in dec 2013. I've never had as much problems on the official vanilla servers with hackers as I have the past couple months. It has completely killed my interest in this game. Normally I would play on "low pop" servers to avoid having to deal with a lot of players, and because I know high pop vanilla servers have always had a problem with hackers. I had already taken a couple month break from the game, because I had a very well hidden spot for buried items in the far north and it was almost impossible to see, it went untouched for many months. After the game went on sale in china we had lost our buried stash within a month. You can check the server lists and see all of the people with Chinese symbols or all numbers for steam profile names. These accounts have rarely been set up, and often have multiple VAC bans. Tonight I had a friend get the game who had not played dayZ since the mod. We were running together in the far north and my character started taking what seemed to be like bullet shots from an unknown location. There were no cracking noises from bullets, no players nearby that we had seen, and it killed me very quickly, but I was hit more than once... I could hear audio noise of my character getting hit by something (the "UGH") and my clothing was getting damaged. My friend said he saw my character "spazzing out and making noises", and I fell over dead. A few seconds later my friend fell over dead himself, having heard nothing, he had previously found an LAR at a crash site, and was excited to be playing the game. My friend went on to say that he was really glad he didnt talk his brother into buying the game. I have never had a more disappointing experience in this game. And after 1,700 hours in this game I think I'm finally done. Someone call me when BattleEye actually does its job.

Uncle Zed 272 Posted March 6, 2020 The only response from BI so far: "Anti Hack measures *do* work. But they dont act instantly and there are good reasons for that. Best to play on live admin servers until the next banwave." The good news is SCUM is only $20 and is a much more developed sandbox survival game than DayZ. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Max Planck 7174 Posted March 11, 2020 Since this has turned into an argument about Scum, I'll close the topic. The gentlemanly exchange of ideas and positions may continue in one of the many other topics on hacking that are currently on the front page. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
