Game Crashes after Alt Tab
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

After I alt tab, my game doesn't let me back in. The game sits in the toolbar and the "preview" in the toolbar is just all white. If i click a few times or try to alt tab back into the game my entire computer freezes. this is a new occurrence for me since the update to .60. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game two times already.

Hi DJGamingFPS,
I'm sorry hear that. We would really appreciate if you could pack and upload here .rpt, .mdmp and .dmp files so our programmer can take closer look at this problem. Simply set launch parameters as - dologs ( Steam -> Library -> RMB on DayZ -> Set launch option). After crash occurs these files will be generated here C:\Users\*Username*\AppData\Local\DayZ . With this files we can solve this problem faster.

Regards,
Forkys

Thank you for the reply, now im not sure whats going on but after adding that launch parameter i can alt tab now with no problem. I tried taking out that parameter and it crashes again so that fixed it i guess!

Im not sure how to get my crash dump to you. Im getting this error

load Failure
DayZ.RPT

Exception: No configured storage engine can store this file. See "Configuring File Storage" in the documentation for information on configuring storage engines.

Update, When I alt tab back into the game i have audio but I can still see the desktop but cant click on icons. Its like im in the game but i can see the game

Hi again DJGamingFPS.
For better understanding this issue it would be nice if you can send us your DxDiag. To get your dxdiag just run dxdiag.exe and after everything is loaded hit button 'Save all information'. It will create a .txt file and upload it here. In this file are information about your hardware, which could be really helpful to solve this situation. We will appreciate this help. Thank you.
