im tired of this i just installed everything back and disabled my anti virus and stll i cant play
Okay I was able to start the game by going into program files and opening dayz.exe. But after joining a server battle eye tried to update and now DayZ wont open at all. I think there is something wrong with the dayz_be.exe or dayz.exe. I say this because for a brief second while battle eye was updating it said to launch dayz through steam or dayz_be.exe with launch parameters like 0 1 or something. So I think battle eye is the blame for this.
Try this:
I HAVE FIXED IT!
I went into C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ and deleted the BattlEye folder.
Next I disabled my Anti Virus and Firewall.
I couldn't turn off windows firewall so I added a rule for DayZ_BE.exe and allowed all connections.
This is VERY important, because without doing this i couldnt get battle eye to update<<<<
Now I can start DayZ and BattlEye installs and the game works!
i fixed it
it wasnt that it was that i use an xbox controller and i had an addon on dayz for better preformance with the control... in other words smoother like if i was playing with keyboard... i deleted it and now i am able to play...and no one helped me doit....
