Hi devs, fake chinese servers are back in DayZ Launcher and it's annoying again.
DayZ Launcher are showing these server as full of players, but Steam returns that they are bots.
Steam API result:
players: 0
bots: 255
Thank you raxto.
We are aware of this and steps are being taken by our legal department.
There has been no solution at all. Now they’re becoming even more arrogant, claiming that Bohemia doesn't have the technical ability to fix the issue and that their goal is to monopolize. Moreover, Bohemia is shifting the blame to Steam. I just want to point out that many Steam community games have found solutions to this problem, so why isn't DayZ taking similar actions
They previously registered fake servers in the official channels, and while the issue was resolved with an update, now they’ve started launching over 5,000+ fake servers in the community section. The developers could easily trace these malicious servers through their MOD information and ban them directly, but they’ve done nothing. This kind of malicious and unfair behavior is being allowed to persist, and as a result, the player count has even overflowed
No one cares, let's be real.. Legal department - oh common..
What's the problem to implement same system as DZSA did?
Many people have been raising this issue, but I haven’t seen the developers address it directly. Most feedback posts are simply ignored. The encryption technology used for the official channels — can’t it also be applied to the community channels? Isn’t that a straightforward solution? It seems like they’re turning a blind eye to this issue because it inflates DayZ’s user data, showing over 50,000 players online. But what’s the reality? 80% of that is fake data. I truly hope I’m wrong, but this is deeply disappointing.
