[CRITICAL AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED] Game freeze after every update and switch between exp.
Need More Info, WishlistPublic

Description

When I update my game and go to the server list, it freezes for 5 seconds and loads up, but no servers are loading. If I hit esc or any ingame buttons, the game freezes completely and I can not press anything else than control+alt+del. And same happens if I just let it run after the first freeze and go to the task manager and there it shows that it is not responding and I can not shut it down.

It slows my internet so badly that I can not go into any websites. I have to either wait for few minutes that the game doesn`t say "Not responding" (my internet is still super-slow and the game is still running in the "more info" tab of task manager) and restart my PC to everything to go back normal or just restart my computer immediately.

I have reported this bug, what, 2-3 times and it has always been set as acknowledged, but the same freeze happens every time there has been an update for stable or experimental build, or if I change my game to stable or experimental, the server list always freezes.

I have fixed freeze in the past by changing the UI size and resolution when the 0.40 update came out and the game started freezing and when that didn`t work, I deleted the DayZ folder from my documents, but now that doesn`t work either after the 0.46 patch for stable.

I recorded my problem btw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJtaUS1EkIc

Steps To Reproduce

The only way I am able to reproduce this is by either updating the game to the latest version or by switching between the two branches.

Hello

Please be patient, we are constantly working on fixing these bugs. Your issues has been reported and will be looked into. Just note that the team is very busy atm as the game is in pre-alpha and many users are experiencing the same.

We hope to fix this soon, please be patient.

Thank you for your help!

Same issue here, buddy. The game freezes, i can't even close the process, and it keeps consuming RAM. Posting my issue, so someone sees that you are not alone.

Edit: Sorry, new in this. Because it's the same thing, i'm not going to post another. If it's of some help, i'm dropping here my sys specs:

Thank god!

I hope this gets fixed at least when Enfusion is released.

I am going to try to see if deleting DayZ folder from Appdata works after the 0.47 comes to experimental in 1h.

But I don't know why switching between the two branches does not work.

Well, after a complete system reboot, looks like the game works perfectly.

Maybe if you try that...?

Well, after the 0.47 came onto stable, my game started to froze again :/

I uploaded a video showcasing the freeze

Hey

We are sorry to hear that you are still experiencing the issue. Could you please create and attach new crash dumps? We need the ones reproduced on the latest patch to properly look into this issue.

Thanks!

I uploaded the DayZ folder and the Dxdiag (they`re both in the DayZ (2.8.14).rar file.

and I uploaded a video showing the freeze;
