Game Black Screens Upon Launch then Computer Freezes
Need More Info, NormalPublic

Description

So whenever I try to launch my DayZ, my game will turn black. After about 30 seconds, my entire computer will freeze and I am forced to restart it. I've tried;

  • Re-installing Windows
  • Re-installing DayZ
  • Re-installing Windows Visual C++
  • Updating my Graphics Drivers through Nvidia Geforce Experience
  • Updating Windows
  • Excluding all DayZ .exe's, the DayZ folder and Steam folders from Windows Anti Virus
  • Launching the game with no mods
  • Launching the game through DayzSA
  • Running all .exe's in Administrator
  • Running DayZ in compatibility mode for Windows 7 and 8

At this point I'm out of ideas. I've tried everything I could think of and nothing worked. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. I've been really wanting to play with my boys recently.

Hello ItsEnzo.
Can you please try the following?

Verify the game data through Steam and delete the configuration files when prompted to do so (make sure Steam cloud sync is disabled for DayZ before doing this)

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

Regards,
Geez
