Steam freezes and then eventually crashes when attempting to launch latest exp build
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Steam freezes and then eventually crashes when attempting to launch latest exp build. Other users reporting identical problem although some people still seem to be able to get on.

Even after killing the steam process and logging back in steam thinks you're still playing DayZ. PC reboot required in order to resolve the issue with Steam thinking you're still playing but still crashes the same way when you try to launch again.

Rinse repeat same issue.

Also, are you using any startup parameters when attempting to launch the game and did you try to verify the game cache integrity in Steam?

Geez,

Only launch parameter I'm using is the newui one. Admittedly I haven't tried it without that. Some people have suggested it's a Windows 10 problem.

Dxdiag file will follow in next few hours when I can get on.

Apologies for not getting that information to you in good time.

It appears the most recent experimental patch has resolved this issue.

You can now close this ticket.
