DayZ keeps crashing when i join a server. Please HELP !!
Need More Info, NormalPublic

Description

The launcher works fine. But everytime i join a server the game crashes. One thing i found out, if i let the game run in background it works fine, i join the server, but as soon as i click on the game, or i ALT+TAB it crashes. I tries everything, reinstalling the game, verifying the game files, updating the drivers, running as administrator, but nothing that i do works. I would like to add that i changed my GPU, and before this DayZ was working fine, i don't know why this is happening with my new GPU (i changed from an AMD GPU to Nvidia GPU). Please help me i wanna play so bad!!

Hello Souledi.
Does the game shut down without any error message or is there an error message present?

And can you try to do 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 prior to doing this) or delete the C:\Users\*username*\Documents\DayZ folder manually

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

Also, please make sure all your drivers and OS are up to date.
Regards,
Geez
