Cannot launch game after join server step
Need More Info, NormalPublic

Description

I can no longer launch DayZ. I go to the server list and "join" a server, go through MOD selection, and Battle eye opening. However it stops at this point and the game does not launch. My fan spins up and if I go to task manager "DayZ" is listed, but it never changes from the steam DayZ page. This happens for both official and community servers.

Hello MtnWarrior.
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) - 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

Regards,
Geez
