Can't open DayZ
Reviewed, UrgentPublic

Description

Hello,
I can't open DayZ.
The problem is that when I launch the game from the launcher, the game does not start.
In addition, when I look in the Device Manager (Windows), the DayZ process pobeir 99% of RAM (I have 16GB) and often the computer turns off with a bluescreen when starting.
The error appeared suddenly when I was playing with friends on a mooded server. The game freezes and throws me to the desktop.
Since then, I did a file integrity check, reinstalled DayZ and Steam, and formatted all drives on my computer and system. I also updated all drivers automatically and manually.
I also bought an extra M2 drive to install the game on.
Please help, thank you.

Hello Cutie.
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
