Server restarted and now the game won't respond.

Description

Hi Devs!

I was playing on Smokes DayOne Expansion Livonia server and had a blast today, really enjoyed getting back into Livonia. Anyways the server restarted (not for the first time of the day, no issues before) and when I tried to connect, DayZ wasn't responding in my task manager. I tried rolling back to old GPU drivers, tried uninstalling DayZ and all BI files even in the appdata folder. Still getting the same issue after reinstalling DayZ. I'd appreciate any help you can give! You guys have messaged me on Twitter before (thanks again for those keys Scotty), and I could chat and tell you more through there.

Thanks for all your hard work!

Hello AmishZed.
Can you please try the following:

Delete the contents of your C:\Users\*username*\Documents\DayZ folder and verify the game data through Steam (make sure Steam cloud sync is disabled prior to doing so).
If this does not resolve the issue, then do the following:

Open the DayZ launcher
Select PARAMETERS menu
Select ALL PARAMETERS tab
scroll down and check "Bulldozer" parameter
Launch the game
Once launched, close the game
Uncheck bulldozer
Launch the game again without any parameters

If the issue still persists even after doing all of the above, you can try to do the following:
Navigate in to c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\*yourID*\
Delete the 221100 folder.

Regards,
Geez
