Problem of Server-Admins and cheater behavior
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hey Devs and all,

today we had the best example of the game where Server admins have no Options other then dying.

We saw a Player. We killed him and check Name. Then, 35 seconds letter, the same Player is back to the Military-base as a normal bambie.
He tells us, we souldn't kill him, he is a hacker and will kill us. We kill him, check Name = same Player. So we kick him.
NOW! What sould we do??? We lock the Server and wait a Little bit. Then we open the Server.
Now you can advise what happens?!! He cames back with hacks and kills us.
Because he Change his Name as he wants and there is no relationship between ingame Name and steam we are unable to select witch Player he is. So we are unable to Report the guy to steam.

Cheater now use only SKS. Why? He kills all and take what he wants and if he dosn't (vs admis or kick) all items are runied. So the Player will never get his stuff back.

summary:

  • Admins can't find out which player who is in Steam to report it
  • Can not stop the hacker from the Server
  • By using flying man or Speed hack and SKS he will ruin all your stuff
  • BE can not detect the hackers

> If you want to Play with other Players the hacker wins and on each game Level

Hello nerobp,

We are aware that there are still security issues that are to be addressed in DayZ. However, this does not mean that the work related to dealing with hackers/cheaters has come to a halt.

In the latest status report you will find information regarding the plans that the team has in store for the security measures: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/219187-status-report-week-of-12-jan-15/

Please be advised though, development and implementation of the measures mentioned in the status report will most likely take a bit of time, so we still ask for your patience while the team keeps on working on these. I will close, not delete, the ticket since there is no bug to be fixed here. On this note, none of your previous tickets have been deleted. Many of them have been closed, but they are still available for viewing.

Regards,
JStewart
