  1. ASAP? My antihack hasn't worked for two months and I bitched about it for a month and a half before giving up! Please see ticket 600615. BTW, Bilco is suggesting that I email Infistar, not SS.
  2. Well, since Infistar didn't work with 1.8.4.1 I switched back to Epoch. I went ahead and tried to install the Anti-Hack anyway but it doesn't come up when pressing f2. No worries though, this server will be dead in another week or two. Vladick
  3. Yeah, I already purchased it from SS but it doesn't work. Just thought you might have something I could use. But I get that you can't give me something you purchased from Infistar.
  4. Hi Bilco, I switched my server over to Epoch and installed my previous server and mission pbos. But I can't get the Antihack to come up either. Do you know where I can get updated antihack files and how I can install them on the SS server? Thanks! Vladick
  5. Yep figured as much. For the time being I switched back to Epoch and now I can't even get the Antihack to come up via F2. Whatever.
  6. Today I disabled my automatic payment for this server as I have decided to let it die. It's been a month and a half I've been without a working Antihack and the problems and inconveniences this has caused have been significant. Suffice to say that when the admin tools you purchase are broken and cause more problems than they solve, then it is no fun and there is no reason to be an admin or host a server at all. I'm going to go back to just being a player and play on a server that works. This has been a big waste of time and money. Vladick
  7. As it turns out, Dart is just not enough. I've been fighting with hackers all week long (probably the same hacker actually) who continuously takes the Huey and spawns it up north, removes several parts and logs out. He logs in with new UIDs every time and it's a pain in the ass trying to figure out who it is from the logs. Once he logged in in GOD mode, killed me and spawned the huey broken up north in a matter of two minutes. He even logged in once with the name "I HACK YOU 666" and moved it. Why these people exist I have no idea. It's not worth the headaches trying to administer a server without any antihack tools and I'm sick and tired of looking into alternatives such as TSW when I've already spent money on something that SHOULD ALREADY WORK. Obviously, I'm losing patience fast. Vladick
  8. Got Dart up and running and now I'm ready to kick and ban all comers! Well, maybe just the a-holes. Anyway, still would rather use the Antihack for all the other features like, teleporting, map markers, ESP, and all that other good stuff. But at least I can take care of business now if I have to.
  9. Good news. It seems Infistar is planning on updating the antihack to work with 1.8.4.1 after all. So for those of you running that map, not sure any of you are, there is an update coming your way. It's supposed to work with the other maps as well though. It can't come soon enough for me. Vladick
  10. Good idea. I keep hoping that today is the day the Antihack gets updated and works. I guess I should look into that plan B. Thanks!
  11. So, this issue just gets more fun all the time. Saturday I had about 15-20 players on my server and one of them starts talking trash in voice on side chat. I ask him please to not talk in side chat and let's loose with a barrage of obscenities at me. I type to him that he is heading to get banned and he continues to cuss me out and taunt me saying, "Well, ban me. I thought you were going to ban me. COME ON ADMIN BAN ME!" Of course, because the anithack is not installed because it glitches the server, I can't do anything but sit there and let him rant, which he did for another five minutes before he shut up and quit the game. My empty threats were useless and I looked like a total tool to the rest of the players who were begging me to at least kick him. That was Saturday. Also Saturday, one of the players' vehicles and tent didn't spawn and he was asking me if they were destroyed or if it was a glitch. I couldn't even tell him that any of the other vehicles were spawned in correctly because I can't see the vehicle spawns on the map without the antihack. I was just like, "I'm sorry, i'm just a player just like you I guess." Then on Sunday, again with probably 15 players on, someone got glitched inside the hospital on restart and was begging me to teleport him out of there. I could do nothing and, once again, looked like a total tool telling him to try to restart the game. He was like, "You can't teleport me?" And I was like, "I would if I could." Not having admin tools really sucks. Vladick
  12. Okay, so to keep this post current, here is the latest on this issue for those of you who care... SS installed updated antihack files that were provided by Infistar and once again, the crafting menu and the new items were glitched, with the added bonus of nothing spawning on restart. Here is a quote from my server's busiest player. This guy is on my server practically 24/7: (Side) Roach: hi vlad.. you turn on the anitcheat again.. (Side) Roach: the cafting screen is now no longer working again.. just like befoer\ (Side) Roach: before (Side) Roach: oh crap.. just lost a gun.. from anticheat.. oh well (Side) BSBS Vladick: Hey Roach (Side) Roach: hi.. that anti cheat is messing up your server (Side) BSBS Vladick: What's it doing? (Side) Roach: the same thing it did before.. preventing crafting and making any gun disappeared when modifying (Side) BSBS Vladick: Still? You've tried those things today? (Side) Roach: yes.. just did.. (Side) BSBS Vladick: Shit (Side) Roach: and just lost a gun.. lol (Side) Roach: crafting screen is now back to that line.. and not open screen (Side) BSBS Vladick: I have to replace the mission and server files then because they just did it yesterday trying to fix it. (Side) BSBS Vladick: It's gonna take me about 15 minutes or so and then a restart (Side) Roach: this is the only server i been to that have this anti cheat software installed (Side) BSBS Vladick: Yeah because it's provided by the hosting company (Side) Roach: that software is doing more harm than goods... (Side) BSBS Vladick: For you, for me it's all I have to provide admin support on the server. (Side) Roach: yes.. but if only admin can play the server.. then whats good of it... lol (Side) BSBS Vladick: Yep it's a catch 22 I have provided this chat log to show the level of frustration involved with this issue. This is one of a dozen conversations I have with players concerning these bugs. And then they turn around and ask me for help and I can't provide it because the Antihack can't be enabled. SS is reaching out to Infistar again to see if there is a fix for this issue. I will continue to keep the community up to date on the progress of this issue. Not sure how many of you are running DayZ Vanilla 1.8.4.1. Probably not very many. Vladick
  13. Support ticket #600615 was created March 11, 2015. Chad reached Infistar and received an update that I have asked him to install for me. Also, here is a quote from Infistar concerning current and future state updates: Begin Quote: "Arma2 is currently not really protect-able due to problems BE has with blocking a certain method to remotely compile code on the server or other clients. It has been patched on Arma3 almost a year ago, it was investigated on Arma2 the same time but it wasn't fixed.. It was made worse with it. since then, the amount of hacking grows and there is simply nothing we can do about it. That so called "createUnit" RE method needs to get patched by BI/BE as same for the easy methods to completely bypass the scripts.txt and the much to slow kicks if you for example createVehicle a blacklisted Object. So we have the problem with the locality of created Objects, Groups and such but on top of that we also have the only client side Filter completely BROKEN. It is bypassed by everyone that tries to hack which not just makes it useless it also makes the frames of each client go down down.. But we can not expect any help regarding that: http://screencloud.net/v/c2xL David Foltyn - Dwarden: scripts.txt is last of my concerns honestly, same goes for Bastian, more like "if we don't know about bug which annoys us then maybe" That been said in the group that is testing for the "End-Of-Life" patch for Arma2OA. So anyone still having hope for that should either stay with the hope (^^) or move on to Arma3." End Quote. No very reassuring. Vladick
  14. Yep, apparently, Infistar told SS that they weren't planning on updating the antihack for 1.8.4.1 because it's not a popular map. SS said they would check in with Infistar again. Not very happy right now. I've been two weeks without admin support on my server because my players want to use the new items and craft without a ton of glitches caused by the antihack. It's very frustrating when people ask me for help and I can't do anything to help them, or punish them. If someone talks in side chat, all I can do is say, "Please don't talk in side chat." When they find out I can't do anything about it (or they don't get warned or kicked automatically by the antihack), some of them do it anyway, ruining the suspenseful ambiance of the game for a lot of players. There are other issues as well but you get the point. Frustrating!
