At this point the game is unplayable - you spawn, you run a bit, you die by a hacker. It's not even that people are cheating with ESP, it's just that there are unhinged trolls that just kill everything on the map.

The developers have not solved the problem and are not going to solve it. You can stay on the official server if you like to constantly die from a shot to the head from a distance of 1-2 km. And if you like to constantly rebuild the base again.

Same hacker, or a different one, but they tend to speak Chinese/Vietnamese (from what I can comprehend), sometimes they mess with you by breaking your legs, today another Chinese hacker is on the same server, Livonia, North-West end of the map around Castle. Shooting everyone coming closer than 1-2 km range, ridiculous.

For your own protection I'd suggest moving to a moderated vanilla community server. If you're a base builder you will have to deal with wipes every few months but it is preferable to official in my opinion.

Seriously how hard is it to

1. look at the server player stats
2. see who has 100:1 kill:death ratio, who kills everyone with a headshot over almost 1km, who has like 50 kills in last hours
3. ban the shit out of the guy

The results must be not so good so far - today as I am writing this the same hacker (I guess) is exactly in the same spot (prison on Livonia) and shoots everyone coming 1km close to his place. Before that he just ran throughout the map killing everyone - I talked to like 4 fresh spawns all suddenly died with a mysterious headshot.

Apparently, the hacker still is on the same server - DE 4295. Once someone is getting close to the prison, gets immediately headshotted out of nowhere. For anyone giving two fucks, it's so easy to check the logs and ban him. This guy probably has a base in prison, if I had to guess.

Same experience today on DayZ Livonia DE 4295 , you can see the video footage here: https://feedback.bistudio.com/T174833
