DayZ crashes my whole PC
Need More Info, NormalPublic

Description

Hello, I've been trying to deal with this for the past few days. The bug is when I start the game I get a black screen with the mouse cursor loading circle, after a few seconds the loading circle stops and I can't alt tab, can't alt+f4, can't open task manager. The only solution is to restart the PC manually. I uninstalled and installed the game again 3 times, verified game cache, all my drivers are updated (tried reverting to older versions as well). I was able to play with no problems up untill recently. I changed nothing and this crashing started happening.

Hello Rumba93.
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

Already tried those things, and they didn't work.

Hello Rumba93.
Did you also remove the configuration (Setting files) through the verification?
