Game Crashes to Desktop EVERY TIME I TRY TO PLAY
Need More Info, WishlistPublic

Description

Crashes to desktop when playing. Could be 5 minutes, or it could be 20 minutes, the game WILL crash. Doesn't matter what I'm doing in game whether it be looting or running for my life, the.. game.. will.. crash.. every time.

This has been happening for some time now so I'm not exactly sure when or which version it started happening in.

Currently have over 200 hours in game and let me tell you, I enjoy DayZ very much but it's not easy playing a game that crashes all the time.

I don't even mind that the game is in alpha, I should still be ABLE to PLAY the game I purchased.

Playing on an Asus G60JX laptop and here are the specs:

I have purchased and played other alpha games, they work fine but when it comes to DayZ, the game i actually want to play with all my clan mates and brother, I can't.

I'm pretty sure I'm just going to get some generic response "this is a known issue and we'll be working on a solution" or maybe even "this game is currently in alpha stage" I'm not looking for that, I'm looking for a solution here because this is my last hope at getting this game to "work" (not crash)

Tried a whole slew of suggested ideas and fixes and you sir, are my last hope.

Hello,

Please let us know in the note section if you are still able to reproduce this issue on the latest Development build.

If so, please send us a dxdiag report and files from this folder: "C:\Users\<Name>\AppData\Local\DayZ\"

If the *.rar is smaller than 5.000KB, you can attach it here.
In case it's larger than that, please try uploading it to a file sharing website and link it here.

For future reports please refer to the "How to guide" http://feedback.dayzgame.com/how-to-user.html

Thank you.

Hey,

Im sorry you are having these problems but without the files I asked from you in my previous note, we can´t determine what is causing your game to crash.

So please upload the files from your "C:\Users\<Name>\AppData\Local\DayZ\" folder.

For future reports please refer to the "How to guide" http://feedback.dayzgame.com/how-to-user.html [^]

Thanks
