Try and verify game files under Steam>DayZ>Properties.
Are any files re-downloaded?

What does your error message say?

Ok, I'll try that. And I forgot to save a screenshot of the error message (I'll take a screenshot and post it here next time I encounter it if verifying the game files doesn't work)
And I don't think so. I haven't played DayZ since sometime during 0.63 EXP and then switched over from the 'beta' in the game's Steam properties, and then launched the game and that's the first time it happened.

This is the error message that pops up.

This may now be fixed in the new update on Experimental! It is possible it will also release onto Stable branch tomorrow.

Fixed: Client-side freeze caused by nearby players
