Official servers - White Walling
New, UrgentPublic

Description

It has happened numerous times that I've been killed by players using white walling in Livonia, particularly in cities like Nadbor and the Satellite Military Base. Unfortunately, the same incident occurred yesterday in Chernarus.

This has led me and many of my friends to consider quitting DayZ for good. It's disheartening because it's such a great game, but the experience is being ruined by cheaters. It's especially frustrating considering that fixing something like white walling seems like it should be relatively easy, right?

We primarily play on official servers, specifically Livonia 2200 and Chernarus 2074.

Is there any way you can fix this?

Thanks,
A

Good luck getting an ackowledgement on this. I play(ed) the same servers as you and have quit until they do something about it.

Here's my report:

https://feedback.bistudio.com/T178148

I gave them all the information I could with screen shots that might give them a clue... no reply.

Short of infiltrating these cheating groups myself and finding out first hand, I don't know what more I'm to do as a player.

Essentially wall hacks. They are all doing it, even to each other.

It's a recurring problem that comes and goes between patches, and has been for years. Problem is, people on this game don't know they are getting shafted by this glitch when they are killed, so there uproar isn't as big as it should be.

I only noticed something was off when I started noticing players forcing themselves into walls, guns/arms/legs protruding through walls of buildings players are in. Eventually it clicked with enough BS deaths.

As for fixing it? I don't know where I got this, but I am of the understanding that it isn't an easy fix, that it would require to address the paper thin walls of every building/asset that is prone to being abused on the game. A time consuming effort they seem to be unwilling to pursue.

Even if they fix that particular whitewalling issue, it won't address the logging in/out whitewalling that goes on because the game can't load the buildings in fast enough.

I notce you play FP servers... in my experience they are worse for it. FP servers seem to be populated by more veterns of the game and unfortunately they seem more likely to know/abuse the glitch.

I know. This is a shame.

I hope they understand that many players are not coming back because of this. It should be prioritized.

Have you tried reaching out to the Bohemia Interactive any other way?

I agree with you that exploits like this ruin the integrity of DayZ, ill attach youtube videos which are PUBLIC that display these exploits

Blatant use of "whitewall" example 1

Blatant use of "force closing" app to x-ray

More blatant whitewall

Wow. I haven't seen it from that perspective. Terrible state. I don't why they want to play like that?

What is the point in putting in all the effort into getting gear, to lose it to players (of which there are many) who are doing that.

Please sort it out Bohemia.

I understand that rendering at the beginning of the game may be an inherent part of the game engine, and it might not be possible to fix. It's unfortunate, but I can accept it.

However, I've encountered more frustrating situations, such as being killed by teams in Nadbor where one player exploits the ability to see through walls (apparently this can be done if you stand in a certain position) and communicates enemy positions to their teammates. This constitutes cheating and creates an extremely unfair gaming experience, especially considering the effort required to gear up in DayZ.

I assume the DayZ developers are aware of this issue, but it's perplexing why they haven't taken any action to address it.

I have been introduced to the game by some friends and now none of them are playing since they dont want to encounter these sort of situations until the game is fixed.

The initial render doesn't happen on the PC, as as far as I'm told, nor does it happen on the Series X. Only PS4/5.

The silence from the developers is deafening. If they acknowledge the issue then they acknowledge the game has a major issue though. Is that where we are?

Here another example of how this happens:
