What's being done about the hacking?

I've searched and have not found any answers.

I've read that it's out of control and figured it was an overreaction by someone attached to their gear, WRONG.

I join a server..loot for a few hours...boom hacker kills everyone in server.

A few hours later I join a different server, a few minutes goes by..Boom, everyone is teleported to an off map camp and killed.

I join a third server a day later...a few minutes goes by again...boom...mass kill.

I had no idea it was THIS bad, geesh.

Standalone, ArmA is designed to be open and trusting, it's why great mods like DayZ exist, that can't be changed until standalone.

If you really did search you would find this answered over and over.

The mod will not be hacker free. Nothing other than Battleye trying to keep up will work for this.

The standalone will be far more secure.

Ok, thanks. Question, how would the standalone be any different? Isn't it using ARMA's code, which the hacks are algorithmed on?

As of now, jack shit. The problem is with ArmA 2 and Battleye, not so much DayZ. So it's not like they're ignoring it, more like they can't do anything about it. DayZ standalone is on (I think) the ArmA 3 engine, with a new anti-cheat along with it. More resilient to hacks.

The best answer you're going to find is, "we'll deal with it later." Pisses me off a little, too.

That is something Admins will do. Some even ban for it.
