Ep.174 1.29 CROSSPLAY DISASTER! PC Hackers Flooding Xbox Servers & The Future of Console Security
About this episode
The episode discusses the issues arising from the DayZ 1.29 update, particularly the security concerns related to crossplay between Xbox and PC players.
The DayZ 1.29 update is officially here, and while there are plenty of fixes and additions to discuss, one major feature has completely overshadowed the rest: Crossplay between Xbox and PC . What was supposed to be a win for the community has quickly turned into a crisis, as console servers are reportedly being flooded by PC hackers using third-party software that console players simply cannot defend against. This week, Andy and Dave tackle the fallout. We look at the reports of "magic bullets," speed hacks, and ESP invading the once-secure console environment. We ask the hard questions: What are Bohemia Interactive and the DayZ Team going to do to protect the console player base? Is the current anti-cheat up to the task of a cross-platform environment, or has this update broken the game for Xbox survivors? We also dive into the other 1.29 patch notes, including weapon balances and map changes, but the focus remains on the security of the wasteland. If you've been affected by the recent wave of hackers or are worried about your home server, this is an episode you can't afford to miss. Welcome to the essential channel for all things DayZ ! We create content for anyone who loves…
