I have purchased this game on my PC and Playstation. I even got a hardcopy for the PS4 after the fact. Playing on 0030 MI official - Each time I spawned in I would be fine til I started mingling with other players. The first instance, I was in a building next to the police station in Electro and I guy started shooting the zombies outside of the building on the side of the police station from over by the fire house. After that he came up the stairs(I was on the second floor) where I was already on the door with a bk43 waiting for him to come through. He open the doors and never came in. About 4 seconds after that - I was shot in the head and on the floor. The second instance - I went through the police station in Electro after spawning. Grabbed some gear and a pistol. I exited the east side of the building And entered the building caddy corner to the police station to the south that you have to enter from the street side. I went in - and cut up some rags - watched a guy run by down the street to the south. I got out the pistol and covered the door and hole in the wall - the only way in and only way to see in. I sat in the corner away from the door and waited. No walking noises - no movement visible - nothing. I was shot in the head through the wall from the south. I spawned into Kamy. I am over by the train station. A guy starts talking to me from nowhere I can see. He appears out of nowhere with no footstep sounds and flashing/running around me and it just says you are dead. I had all I could do to even see him as I spun in a circle. I respawned near Solnechny. I run from my spawn point towards the star of life and into the house with the greenhouse next to it. I close the door behind me. There is nobody in the house. the zombies outside never alerted to another player. The door never made a open sound but a player came in dragging two zombies with him and started punching me in the head. I was down in two hits. You tell me - Lag switches and wall hacks? I don't even know what the guy that just showed up was doing maybe he was under the map?

Log into the server - run around to find other players. They will do the rest. For me it happened EVERY TIME I SPAWNED within a 5-10 minute span.
I started out playing on PS4. The number of people cheating on it(console) is infinitely less than on PC - but they still do. PC is a complete JOKE for DayZ. I love the game. I love that PC has more options, WAY BETTER GRAPHICS and the game is so much smoother. But the cheaters have completely taken over the game. You as developers have done NOTHING visibly to the end user to curb it. I really want a new version of the game to come out - with a better engine and new maps/graphics. But none of that means anything if you can't control the hacking and cheating at all. On the official servers - it should be a completely controlled environment. But it's not - it's like the hackers go there because they know they can and won't be bothered. Private or community servers are still littered with hacking but not as bad as the official ones. I mean EVERY TIME I SPAWNED - I was killed by someone hacking. The fact that there is no names that come up means you can't tell who is doing the hacking and you can't report them or even have a way to report someone for it. On the community servers - they have the killfeeds in the discord groups - that helps. I am not sure what you even have battle eye for? Just to eat system resources? It is a useless program judging by the pile of hackers in the game. Honestly - I don't know if I will buy another map or version of the game unless you do somthing about the cheating. There is no point to TRYING TO PLAY. There is no playing the way the game is. You need to do something - make some BIG changes otherwise your losing me as a customer.
Event Timeline
Just as a update - I have GB speed and my ping is usually less than 20. My consoles have no lag issues playing and my PC setup is better than they are. I hope this complaint finds it's way to someone who cares enough to read it and try to do somthing positive with the game. I genuinely like this game and have thousands of hours into it.
