Seriously, hackers are ruining this game.

[Oddzball 70]

I dont normally post much on here, but I have to put my 2 cents in here.

I dont care so much about the bugs, or the alt-f4, or really bad zombie animations/warping.

But what I do care about is the hackers. They are absolutely ruining this game.

In one weeks time I have pretty much 9/10 times been killed by a hacker in some way.

Nuking servers, leveling whole cities, teleporting you 20,000 feet inthe air and dropping you, invincibility hacks, teleporting you to some... empty zone, I mean the list is endless really, and its flippin rampant.

Apparrently it is pretty much impossible to easily catch and have these hackers banned also.

I know between all the BS threads here with ppl bitching about dumb crap this thread will get buried, but honestly I hope Rocket reads this.

Out of all the problems this game has, hacking right now is by far the worst, and BI or Rocket needs to really step up and fix this.

2) Is there an existing thread about the subject?

Use search function to look for an existing thread on topic that you wish to share your opinion about. You should also look at the sticky threads (on top of the forum) and browse through the first few pages of topics, in case your search keyword just wasn't included on an existing thread of the same subject. If you create a duplicate thread, it is very likely that your thread will be just locked or deleted!

Well, considering thats in the "suggestion" area, I was probably not looking there, you would think an issue this serious would be on the main forum section.

Seriously, threads like these are ruining these forums.

Why, how is bringing up a serious issue ruining the forums exactly?

Considering you complain about the dayz forums going full retarded its suprising you are part of the problem and not part of the solution.

Edit: Same can be said for your above post...

Edit 2: Ok the link doesn't work for some reason, but type hackers in the search and filter it for titles only and see what comes up.

I do. I also dont complain about shit thats not the Mods fault. And if you search you would see this is the same topic that been posted 8,000 times already.

If you dont care about forums, why are you here?

[Oddzball 70]

Welp, and this is why I dont post on these forums, people are more concerned with spouting forum rules and flaming each other then actually bettering the game. This is why people feel the community is shit. Because anything you say on these forums/in this community gets needlessly picked at by all the assholes.

[Sticker704 121]

Sorry mate, we're not picking anything apart here, we are simply stating the facts. This is a duplicate thread. We have seen something like this multiple times. It is an issue that rocket is aware of. It will be impossible to eradicate completely.

[lordopeth 274]

Rules are rules man. There not mine. If there werent any rules there would be anarchy.

Read up on the rules here. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/8512-please-read-this-before-creating-a-new-thread/

i don't know where you are from but it must be country specific. I haven't been killed by a hacker ever , and i have played since the early days.

I only play on the vet servers, which seem to be worse for hackers, because there are no name tags, so its pretty much impossible to report them.

[Guest]

so do i , All these threads on the forums are really making it out to be worse than it is. You may just be really really unlucky.

[Sakeoe (DayZ) 115]

Agree, but instantly terminating your client when a hacker does something should protect you. I was killed off and teleported to debug forest instantly, I terminated my client, logged on at a different server and had all my gear back even though I spawned in Berezino and my compass didn't aim to the north anymore.

Not suggesting you to do this while fighting players though, in that case you are just scum.

My one question, is thus,

SO apparrently a lot of these hacks are "scripts" run on the server right?

How the HELL does the server not keep track or know who is running script son the server?

Why do the server logs not keep track of who killed who?

Why the hell is it so hard to manage/find hackers on Dayz servers?

I just dont understand how you can make such a great mod with all these neat features, but be unable to keep track of when someone tries to run a script on your server.

EHRMAGAWD THIS THREAD AGAIN

[Mega_Death 23]

Yes there have been a lot of hacker threads.

Have been playing DayZ less than three weeks. Never saw a hacker.

Last night two friends take fire. They come to realize it's an invisible a'hole that's right on top of them. They can't see him but they can see the smoke coming out of the barrel.

They do exist in the game. They exist in every PC game. Server admins need a tool to identify them so they can be banned. Unless someone has abetter solution, the name of the person who killed someone should be added into the server message.

The game needs solutions that uses Battle Eye and Server Admins to report hackers.

I've never seen a hacker in the game but as people are talking a lot about hackers I think it must be pretty bad. I like this game and if possible, I will make a custom anticheat for free. Custom means not scanning for programs like CE, MHS,...It means the way the client works will be changed (packet re-encryption, code change detection,...). It is a lot more effective than what methods BattlEye is using. I've been making anticheat for 2 years and wish to help. But I don't think we are allowed to modify the client are we? Maybe in the standalone version?

I wish man.

It's Rockets mod though, and to be honest, it seems like he doesnt want anyone touching it but him. I mean, I am sure by this point he could have found someone to re-do the god awful zombie animations, so i assume he just wants to work on it by himself/not have help?

i just died 10 mins ago to hacker, tped to me and shot me with as50. lost my dmr, ghillie, coyote, gps, etc.

last time i died was to hacker also. lost a lot of great gear then, too.

the time before that, hacker. didn't have much stuff that time, but still annoying.

you guys yelling at this guy for making this topic can piss off. really. i don't care if there HAVE been 8000 threads about it, we need 8001. the kind of rampant cheating going on in dayz right now is absolutely unacceptable. there needs to ALWAYS be a "hackers ruining game" thread or three on the front page of gd. i know, rocket doesn't control anti-cheat, but with the money that is being made from arma2 sales due to dayz BI can do something to close all the gaping holes in their game, or battleye can pay more attention. this game is fantastic, and i don't mind dying when i earn it, it's just stupid to die randomly because some kid found a script on a website that gives him godmode.

there has to be more that bi/battleye could be doing about this.

BI probably devotes most of their time to Arma 3 now, I am sure they dont give two shits really about Arma 2 at this point.

P.S. Go Steelers!

I couldnt have said it better myself!

Today I spend around 4 hours trying to find some decent gear\guns and ammo. I found some great gear, not even 10 minutes later a hacker teleported the whole server into the air and we all fell and died

4 hours of my life I will never get back because some hacker child wanted to "lool" at killing everyone

If the hacking issue isnt sorted out (which i cant imagin it would be, until standalone perhaps), then im not going to waste my time playing

It seems to be the worst on the server im on, a couple of days ago we had a hacker teleport the whole server to a small area where he then shot and killed us all.

Iv had this game less than a week and already encountered 3 hacking incidents.

This needs to STOP!
