[CRITICAL] Game froze in the server list after updating the game, not fixed yet
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When I always update the game, the game completely freezes when I go into the server browser or press the "play" button. When I click "CONTROL + ALT + DEL" and open up the task manager to terminate the program, it just keeps saying "Not responding" and if I try that again, it gives me an error + I can not click anything except the toolbar and start menu, because my normal cursor is replaced with the ingame one. And I have 2 options two to choose from if I want my PC go back to normal

1st: I have to wait around 5 and 10 minutes the cursor to go back to normal, but the game still stays on and eats all the RAM.
2nd: I have to restart my computer to completely terminate the game.

But I know a way to fix it: go to Configure/video/user interface and there change the resolution to whatever you want it to be and set the size to be smaller or bigger and then quit the settings -menu until it asks you to restart the game. Hit the restart button and after it loads the incredibly long loading-screen, the server browser should work fine. Once this is done, change the settings back how they were or leave it like that, it`s your choice.

But after the latest 0.45 experimental patch, the fix didn`t work anymore! Now you have to delete the DayZ folder from "My name/My Documents".

So please, can you devs try to fix this very, VERY game breaking bug?!

Hello,

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.

This is the only way we can analyze this issue and make the game better!

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

Thank you.

After I updated my experimental version to the newest version, where you guys fixed the rubber-banding, the server list froze again.

Here is the link to the updated DayZ folder and DxDiag.txt file:

Please respond as soon as possible

Hi _M4Z_TeR_,
sorry for the delay.
Could you please let us know if this is still an issue?
Regards,
Andy

The freeze happened everytime I updated the game at the time I had installed the game onto my D-hard drive.

But few months back I decided to un-install the game and install it onto my main hard drive, and no problems have come so far with it.

I do not know what is going on, but nothing like that has happened on any other game I have installed onto my D-drive.

It only seems to only happen with DayZ SA.
