Game Crash upon launch
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

  • Fresh install of steam
  • Fresh install of Dayz
  • No mods
  • GPU drivers up to date
  • Verified integrity of game files
  • Attempted changing size of pagefile.sys and also have dayz installed directly to my 128GB SSD
  • Set to launch as admin
  • Up to date C++ Microsoft visual redistributables

Every time my game launches (except the very first time i launched 1.13), my physical memory usage caps out and I am unable to interact with the game window at all. It never makes it past anything other than a black screen. I am unable to replicate this issue with any other game.

My PC doesn't meet the minimum system requirements, but prior to now ( including when i first purchased the game in 2014 when it was far less optimized) I have never had an issue.

Hello Arrow262.

You can 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) - you can also delete the config files manually by clearing the C:\Users\*username*\Documents\DayZ folder

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

In case this does not work then we suggest upgrading your hardware to recommended specifications.
Regards,
Geez
