I AM SHUTTING DOWN US 450!!!

[Imitation404 1]

This hacking nonsense is so terrible.

It seems like almost every 2 hours we have to abort from the server because everyone gets cut down from some teleporting invisible douchebag, or the thunderdome drops, or some ungodly stupid shit happens.

It just ruins the entire spirit of this game. Waiting for the developers to fucking do something is nonsense, give some power to your admins. For christ's sake they make a god damn investment into these servers, real god damn hard earned money, yet they can do nothing about this shit.

[CerebralZombie (DayZ) 151]

They will never all go down. With how many might go after this, I doubt it will do anything.

I wish you the best, and hope DayZ will one day be up to your standards. We can all say we hate hackers, and continue to be baffled on how there are so many around.

[S_poon 69]

I don't want to shut down permanently. But I would like to see alot of us shut down for a day at the same time. Make a statement thats all I want.

[Entaro (DayZ) 33]

Livin the dream on Sanctuary with 40/40 in my server, I feel your pain being on hive.

[Not a bandit 0]

The log file issue is something else. I am pretty sure its not only my server. And regardless I have no control over that thanks to the Dev's requesting the removal of FTP access to the Admins.

you don't have ftp access to a server you paid for?

did I read that right????

[domistyle 221]

All of my script logs say exactly this:

//new

And nothing else. Exactly 8 bytes big.

If your script log says //new you are doing it wrong.

You need a scripts.txt that starts with //new.

After that you will get a scripts.log in the same directory which contains the log file.

Welcome to the world of HFB.

Everything is possible here.

[S_poon 69]

All I have is read access to the FTP. Its ridiculous.

[domistyle 221]

All I have is read access to the FTP. Its ridiculous.

This is a problem with HFB though, not DayZ.

On a dedicated machine this is no problem.

However, do you have access to /cfgdayz/BattlEye/scripts.txt?

[Not a bandit 0]

Holy shit I can't understand that at all.

OP if I were paying for a server I couldn't access I would shut down on principle...

Not to sound like an ass, but that isn't gonna do shit. Your month is paid, only person it hurts is you and your friends. Again if possible, start a private server. If more people start doing that, things may change.

[ken@thekab.com 37]

Reason why I am keeping mine up. Not going to lose my cool and shut it down, how can they analyze any data on the hackers if there are no servers around to collect data?

Just saying.

This has what to do with a policy of handcuffing administrators so they cannot take appropriate action to protect their server and players?

[jetao2008@hotmail.com 175]

Private hives all the way.

Tired of server hoppers, hackers and abusive admins ruining the game.

This rampant hacking is out of control. I will no pay for a server for this community only to have it constantly plagued by hackers I can do nothing about.

Then why not TAKE control, if the server gets blacklisted then so be it, this is our attitude now.

Sooo I don't know who your host is but if it's HFB or another host that allows file creation what you need to do is go into File Manager and create a new file at \cfgdayz\BattlEye\ called scripts.txt and the file must begin with //NEW. This file is what tells your server's BattlEye instance what to look for. DayZ distributed a standard one that catches lazy script kiddies pretty well.

Better ones just use a BattlEye bypass completely which we can do nothing about. But at least do yourself the favor and get your server's BattlEye working...

It's HFB and the DO NOT any write access to the server files.

[S_poon 69]

I am giving the new Battleye update a shot. So my server is up for now.

[dannyboy92 (DayZ) 36]

As everyone keeps pointing out, it is an alpha version of the mod. The DayZ developer team is probably gathering data and ways to hack the game during the alpha/beta so they can stop most of the hacks before the mod is complete.

I am aware the mod is in alpha, and I am not complaining about the testing. I am complaining about having my hands tied behind my back.

Most dont care, really. Honestly, let's see some fraps of this rampant stuff, because most mediocre players that get beat call hacks all too often.

What game are you actually playing here??????????

[ApriL 28]

They should give power to the people until they can fix the hacking problem.

[shona 5]

This is no argument! It is Alpha yeah but you can not say always it is Alpha the Devs have to delete the rules and let us admins have our rights for the server we pay (NOT THE DEVS)!

If the Devs want to control our server with such rules then they have to pay them otherwise servers going more and more down.

Why? Hackers destroy the Mod and admins can't do nothing. Everone want a proof if a player is a hacker but why and for what? That the hacker can make more shit in the time you search for proof or asking the community?

So look here http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/51497-hacker-on-friend-server/ i ask and only one answer which is funny but has nothing to do with it! Can my friend ban this hacker?

NO because he have nothing only a video and pictures from me and the name of an death player.

[digital0 22]

I understand your pain.

I'm strongly considering going private and shut down my official one.

For now, the amount of control you get vs the amount of what is done against hackers that take away the fun for all the players on my server is not enough for me to pay 50+ bucks per month. I have no problem investing in this mod, but not when people loose all their stuff they worked for hours and all I can do is shrug my shoulders.

[Despuiter 11]

Server admins should be allowed to ban people period but with the rule that they have to sent the log part were the hack is shown to the dev team.

this way bad admins can get banned thereself for exploiting this right. (like a bandit kills the admin and the bandit gets banned.)

Server admins had always this option in games untill the last 2 years you see more and more games not allowing bans by admins.

WHY!!!! it used to work just fine. just take CoD 2.. there were hackers in it but no hackers at all on servers with good active admins.

In the last years you see more and more hackers online simply because the dev's cant keep up with the thousands of hackers and there so called anti cheat is bad.

The only anti cheat that is working for years now are the admins but it seems like every big company try to take over this and it has failed in every game so far..

Dev's also you guys make mistakes.. learn from it please.
