Kingsix (DayZ)

This game is prone to Hackers! Get rid of it!

Recommended Posts

Alt+F4 as soon as you are teleported, and stop playing on shitty servers.

This has only ever happened to me one time, and they didn't manage to kill me.

Please enlighten me. Which servers are good servers?

O.K.

Just let me push my magical "fix everything" button real quick here...yep there we go, all better!

No, you are an idiot.

this dude visited dayzhax.net after the first time he was script killed

Obviously the ones I am playing on, because I don't get 'hacked' every five minutes like so many on this forum apparently do. Or rather, like so many people on this forum believe that they do.

If you want specifics, I tend to play on SESUK1 or random NL/DE servers. Sometimes a random Dallas server if I want to play with an American friend. Those servers must be like magic rocks that keep tigers away, because I've only encountered a script kiddie once.

a server that you know the admin, or know the admin is online... find a server that displays teamspeak info or something that allows you to get in contact with the ppl who run the servers...

the worst servers are the ones with admins who dont take care of them and just leave them for days on end.

you can tell which servers those are by logging onto them and there being no items spawning or frozen zombies just standing around.

this game is still in alpha so it isnt developed enough to auto protect itself from intruders and douchbags... admins have to step up and be more responsible. If you go on a server that has admins who dont care then its like trusting your money with a bank who leaves their vault unlocked.

Problem is that most of these servers kick by ping. But thanks for the info. I always try to look for server with at least 30 players thinking it should be more stable. Looking for ones that have TeamSpeak sounds like a really great idea!

Then stop having high ping. If your only available options for an internet connection suck then there are VPN services that do work for smoothing ping.

Well you said:

If you get rid of the game, isn't that basically the same as stopping development?

And later:

Again, getting rid of the game is hardly the solution.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. English is my second language. I meant "Get rid of the Hacks & Hackers"

I got turned into a Zombie earlier by a hacker, I left straight away though and joined another server and luckily it didn't save so I was back to normal. I've also been followed and shot by an invisible guy and teleported. It's all happened in the last few days as well - hopefully it gets sorted out soon.

I have a 25mb connection mate.

My problem is that there are no servers hosted in my country at all. And I don't think VPN's can do anything for your ping. They can only create a mask for your ip, your ping continues the same, doesn't it?

Neighbouring countries should do fine on a 25Mbit line, even if it's ADSL. I'm in the UK and on my cable connection I tend to get no more than 20ms to anywhere in Europe, barring your native Russia which will be in the 50-70ms range, and I even get no more than 99-110ms to Dallas, Texas.

If you're from Russia you might connect decently to Swedish servers.

VPNs don't always just mask your IP though, often they have a more direct route through internet backbones and such so that your packets are not hopping all over the place. Of course it'd be a good idea to check with the company in question before signing up to such a service, most offer free trials too.

I'm afraid not as I've never had to use one, but I know a lot of people had success in solving WoW connection issues and high pings by using such services.

Why? Because I mentioned Hackers? Well I guess you Can`t explain why - you just wanted to post your funny pic uh?

You must be a 5 year old thumb sucking prick.

And let me tell you wise guys one think - I made maps for this game when it was still called operation Flashpoint 10 years ago. I won many prices with them including a price from Bohemia for the best user made maps of the year! You little cunts don`t have to tell me how this thing works.

Hey KingSix I seem to remember you, back in the ofp and resistance days, I'm not a modder, more of a mod editing enthusiast, trying to not hijack the thread, but as a Modder, you must know how difficult it is to port models for units in the arma engine

Can we join forces or at least make the developers of arma 3 and dayz notice that an important aspect of gaming these days is "Character Customization" (appareance/cosmtic attibutes, i.e: morphs, clothing ,etc) we know for sure that DayZ is going either as standlone using arma3 engine or as an arma3 DLC, but without it it won't stand a chance against War Z or other MMO oriented clones, regards

Cool that you remember those days. Yes I know how difficult it is.

Sure, we can join forces. Tell me what you have in mind exactly. PM?

Exactly! There is absolutely a spike in this in the last few days.

Well only 5 minutes after I opened this discussion I entered a new server. I ran 2 minutes when a Hacker burned down Elektro killing me and all others in there again.

Today the second time I got hit. I mean this is not playable.

I also don`t understand the people getting pissed off when mentioning this? I mean do you guys like it when you waste your time collecting stuff and then got killed again by a Hacker? Twisted logic!

You go to full servers and don't expect hackers?

Really?

If you want to avoid hackers, play on LOW POPULATION servers...cause if I was a hacker...why kill 5 people when I can kill 40-70?

Albeit not foolproof, I have only been killed by hackers on a low population server ONE TIME in over a month. The other three times I experienced hackers were on servers with 20+ people.

We shouldn't have to modify our play because of hackers.

There's no fun on low pop servers anyway, no chance of being killed whatsoever, it's basically single player mode.

A public bypass was recently released to allow non-scripters to "hack". Once it's detected and blocked in an update, the hacking should die down again (for some time).

Well I must be incredibly unlucky then because I have been killed by mass server teleports/nukes/thunderdome or my personal fave, being dropped from the sky for the last 4 nights running I have been playing, and this is on a mix of servers as I rarely go back to the same one after dying due to hackers.

I understand we are testers but I don't think anyone here particularly enjoys testing how long you can play the mod before being screwed over by a script kiddie, I have stopped even bothering to go north now as it has become a case of when not if I die due to foul play and the majority of the tension I feel playing now is waiting for the impending server wipe not hostile encounters with other legit players as It should be.

It may not be as much of a problem for clans/organised groups who have tents full of items to restock with but for solo players like me I can be as careful as anything and slowly make my way up to starry then two seconds later everything is kaput and many hours have been wasted.

If I die to legit pvp It's an experience, If I die to a script kiddie who gets his rocks off going from server to server wiping everyone - that's something else entirely.

People who say hacking is just as common in CoD and BF3 are so full of shit. It's WAY worse in this game.

Rawr angry forum rage.

Read thread in sig, mr ignorant OP.

Your thread on the vunerabilities of the engine is really good man, but it doesn't change the situation we have at the moment - rampant hacking and no official acknowledgement that its becoming more of a problem as battleye continues to work to curtail it.

I feel really sorry for anyone who buys the ARMA CO pack to play Dayz now, which obviously is happening all the time - there should at least be an official disclaimer letting people know whats in store for them if they try to play at the moment
