DayZ freezes on start up screen
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Well I just paid $30 to get DayZ on steam.
The thing is though I cannot even play the game, I press play and it sits at the loading screen forever. First it shows both logos (Interactive and DayZ) very slowly and then after the DayZ logo it just freezes at a black screen. I even had time go to make breakfast and come back and it was STILL frozen.

I understand the game is in Alpha but that means I should be able to at least play the game. {F30811} {F30812}

Hello,

Please let us know in the note section if you are still able to reproduce this issue on the latest Development build.

If so, please send us a dxdiag report and files from this folder: "C:\Users\<Name>\AppData\Local\DayZ\"

If the *.rar is smaller than 5.000KB, you can attach it here.
In case it's larger than that, please try uploading it to a file sharing website and link it here.

For future reports please refer to the "How to guide" http://feedback.dayzgame.com/how-to-user.html

Thank you.

The bug is still happening and is this what you wanted?

Files attached in rar above

Hey!

Thanks for the files. Could you also attach a dxdiag report?

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DxDiag for info and where to find it.

I have uploaded the DxDiag stuff. (Text format, hopefully I am doing this right. I have never done DxDiag before)

Hey have you guys checked this since my last note? I am just really keen to play DayZ and was wondering if you have checked it.

Hey,

Thanks for the report and the files. We will look into the issue as soon as possible. Please keep testing the game and watch this issue.

Thank you!

Anything wrong with it you think? I don't see a problem with my computer about it but if you think there is one let me know

Just wondering have you guys looked into this yet? I really want to play DayZ

EDIT: I got past the loading screen and got to play for a few minutes then when I restarted the game it froze again.
