Alt Logging

Many players run more than one account (or ‘Alt’ short for ‘Alternative Account’) in-game.

This is permitted on DDU servers, but you are not allowed to log out of one account and on to another to continue an interaction. This also includes logging an account in for purposes of observation, or manipulation of items or other resources, in an area where your first character died, or logged out with knowledge of a confrontation or event taking place (see also Combat Logging), that a subsequent logged-in character can take advantage of.

Storage Rules

Tents

You can only place a tent of a smaller size within another tent. Tents that are found violating this rules are subject to they and their contents being deleted without warning.

Shelters

You cannot vertically stack shelters, shelters found to be stacked in violation of this rule are subject to deletion without warning and players can be subject to penalties including temporary bans.

Penalties

Cheating

Deliberate cheating (ESP, aimbot, speed hacking etc.) is evaluated on admin observations backed with video recordings.

If a strong enough case is presented you will be banned from DDU and evidence will be submitted for other server owners to decide if you should be banned from their servers too.

Glitching, Loot Cycling and Combat Logging

Depending on severity, player attitude, and repeat offending, punishments could range from an in-game talking-to by an admin through to a semi-permanent ban from DDU servers.

Stream Sniping

This is considered using a third-party application to gain an advantage and can result in a limited or permanent ban from DDU servers.

Combat Logging

Do not leave the server within 5 minutes of interacting with another player. If your game crashes when you are in a combat-log situation, please log back in to the game immediately.

Cheating

There is no tolerance for anyone using any form of hack, cheat or script at all. This includes the use of any third-party software to gain an advantage. We share this sort of ban information with other ban lists, so a ban for this on DDU could lead to bans elsewhere.

Glitching

Do not intentionally exploit any bugs or glitches or misuse/abuse the mechanics of the game to your advantage. If you unintentionally find yourself in a situation accidentally gained by dodgy game mechanics, submit a support ticket.

Building Restrictions

  • No Build Zones – NBZ’s are set by server admin. 
  • If you are unable to build, this is due to “No Build Zones” assigned – these zones will not be overridden.
  • All construction must be within the bounds of the building mod, the apocalyptic setting and obey the laws of physics/gravity, this applies to base building and base raiding structures.
  • Do not build within a military compound or within their fence lines. Do not restrict access to any wells, heli crash site, military convoys/ vehicle spawns, police, or military spawns. 
  • Do not build in hospitals, on oil rigs, traders or police department/station buildings.
  • Do not build on or restrict access to roads.
  • A base built to overwatch a military area or freshspawn/starter areas will be subject to removal.
  • No fence/gate stacking, keep at least half a wall length between gates, fences or tent entrances. Approx 1m is the minimum (This means you can have 3 gates in one wall length.) 
  • Walls cannot be taller than 2 High Maximum if you build on top of buildings.
  • No floating Walls/Floors/Roofs/Towers and Tents.
  • It is the onus of the base owner to adequately cover windows from prying eyes or potential raid entrance

Compensation

In order to ensure we have a consistent approach we have a “No Compensation” policy in place.
Sometimes things happen you can’t explain or bugginess occurs, and it can come down to bad luck, unfortunate timing – or just being plain DayZ’d.
