Cannot restart DayZ: Steam says alread running
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

After closing DayZ (disconnect, crash, etc.) I cannot restart the game via steam.

Steam shows the typical message: "Game already running"

Opening the Task manager shows that DayZ.exe and similiar is not running.

However killing the process "tmp0" that is located somewhere in %appdata% resolves the problem.

Append to me too. If you can't restart Dayz nor close steam, open task manager (ctrl+shift+escap) and kill tmp0 process. You will be able to restart Dayz or close steam after ;)

Same problem here.

Yes Dayz is not closing correctly often in 0.47 aswell.
"tmp0" is a file which belongs to Battleye. Looks like it keeps running.

Problem is that you can't close Steam the regular way, too, because of that.

This is a Steam problem not a DayZ problem. It happens to me on ArmAII, III and Rising Storm as well.

no, its problem of Battleye, like vatixerid, if DayZ using hiden Battleye "tmp0", then it's problem of DayZ, because you can't exit DayZ correctly.

Hello Dayzdevteam!
This is getting annoying. Something is wrong with the Steamoverlay + Dayz looks like tmp0 is called by the overlay although its disabled.

Found a Solution it's working so far:
Enabling steamoverlay in steam general settings<-ingame and in dayz steam specific settings.
After that Disabling it in dayz steam specific settings and then disabling it in steam general seetings---well that did not work for long :(

This problem vanished with the last steam/dayz updates. Can be closed.
