[US 7] Teleportation, Hacked gear and menu system

[asylumofsouls@hotmail.com 0]

I joined US 7 hosted by AAF - 199.19.108.37:2302 at around 20:45 AEST (UTC +10) and spawned on the coast near Kamyshovo. This was not where I logged out but finding myself spawning in somewhere different to where I logged off is not in itself a rare occurrence since a recent patch.

I was running North through the forest near the coastline heading towards Berezino when a player by the name of Chaotic started talking to me on direct comm. He was saying something about another player, Makuma, being hacked and turned into a chicken or something which I couldn't hear properly because of his mic quality. He was the only other player on the server at the time so it was quite weird but he didn't try to kill me so I was surprised but not too worried and continued on my way with him deciding to accompany me.

About 2min later, when I was running up the road he talked to me again saying he'd found a bike but had to go so I could have it. I thought I'd lost him so it was a bit odd but I thanked him, got on the bike, said goodbye and started riding it up the road. A minute of riding and the bike started bouncing and a message came up on the bottom of the screen saying "would you know my name, if I saw you in heaven?" so I ejected and started running back towards the forest to find a safe place to log off and find another server.

Just as I reached the forest, now ~21:10 AEST, my weapon changed from the M1911 to some form of sniper rifle so I laid down where I was and pressed escape but the "abort" button was not functioning so I alt-F4ed and my character was killed with a message saying something about trying to alt-F4. I still couldn't 'abort' through the menu system despite having a dead character so alt-F4ed again to close the program then used DayZCommander to check who was on the server so I could make this report. The only players still on were Chaotic and Makuma.
