Cheat on NL 13

Discussion in 'DayZ Servers' started by szSteam_76561197970953315, Jul 25, 2012.

  1. Just now, 22:10 GMT+1, a cheater teleported me (Clavus) on the NL 13 server to himself and killed me. He did this twice. First time I managed to kill him, then I logged out and back in, I was unconscious for 5 minutes (due to shock). Right before I regain consciousness he teleports me again and kills me. There's no way to see anyone's name ingame but I hope your logs can bring this guy to light.

    Also he killed my brother Mouse like 5 minutes after me.

    Welcome to DayZ. Cheaters and hackers are the biggest enemies of this game, next to the bugs. What you described happened to me several times now. Last time this happened we had a full server, 50/50 and we all got teleported into the sky and fell to our death.

    The problem is, we as server admins are almost powerless to this. We are not allowed to ban anyone except for racism, all we can do is post the logs on the DayZ forum together with a ban request hoping some Dayz mod will read it one day and ban the sucker but the logs are very limited and really cryptic so most cheaters get away with it.

    Further more, there's no such thing as a global ban system like sourcebans on L4D2 or metabans on BF3, so if we ban someone he will be banned on our servers only.

    My advice: Wait for the War Z.
     
  3. Rocket has his own ban system where he permanently corrupts the character of a cheater so they're not able to play Day Z on any official server.

    Also, shouldn't the logs at least mention who killed who? Using the specific time I gave you, you should be able to pinpoint the killer in that case. If you can at least give a name / player ID, I'll report him on the Day Z forums myself.

    And The War Z is all talk right now, there's no guarantee it'll be any better in either gameplay or cheat prevention.

    If he uses commercial multihack, there will be no logs.. if he uses good scripts, there will be no logs either :P Battleye anticheat is not the best one in the market..

    That's putting it lightly; it globally bans people for using Fraps, but can't detect the simplest script cheats.

    Battleye dosent ban if you use xfire, but it may ban you for: Fraps, Dxtory, TeamSpeak Overlay (TSO) and ATI Tray Tools.

    Yeah, that anticheat is literally the worst one around, as it even detects overlays as false positives.

    Believe it or not: No, we can't even see who killed whom.
