For some reason every time I try to play Dayz the screen freezes if I try to move my mouse but if I leave my mouse idle it wont freeze, if I do move it the game freezes but the sound is perfectly fine so its not lag. the animations in the background stop working and when I try to hover my mouse on all the buttons (Play, Change server. etc) it stays on 1 button then in a 1-2 seconds moves to the other button I hovered over. Last time this has been happening I just restarted the game and it was playable now I cant even restart the game for it to be smooth this has been happening for 0.59 and 0.60 I tried everything deleting my Dayz files (Profile etc) nothing, reinstalled it still nothing. but this one time, I am unsure if this was luck or this actually fixed it. I saw someone say "An old trick is to play media player" I deleted the Dayz files played media player and surprisingly it worked, I will try this again and confirm if it worked or not.

Event Timeline
Well what I said about the media player thing didnt work I will try to update the game to 0.60 then downgrade to 0.59
doesnt even work if I update and downgrade the version of the game. if I move the mouse really fast without stopping it the whole background freezes and the sound keeps playing as usual
Hello ForcefulChaos.
Could you check if your fps drops while this issue occurs?

I turned on Steam's fps counter while I was spazzing out with my mouse and then stopping really fast I saw that the fps dropped to 4 fps from 40ish or to 10 from 40 fps everything is fine when I dont move my mouse 45 fps. everything goes bad when I move my mouse everything freezes fps goes down to 4 fps
I found out that if I move my mouse non-stop stop move it stop and move it, if I get lucky, its almost as if the game is glitched and cant sync up with the mouse and then it just lags, this method worked 2 times for me already
Hello ForcefulChaos and thank you for the information.
We are going to look into the issue and I will let you know once we know more or need more info. Meanwhile, please check if all your drivers are up to date as that could possibly be cause of the issue as well.

Alright, all my drivers are up to date, the only solution I found is luck and "spam" moving your mouse and randomly stoping before the Dayz image appears and then move it like an inch stop, then make extremely small movements and if you move it at the right time you will be hovering over continue without it freezing, I am pretty sure 0.60 had this issue as well.
