Thanks for the comments guys. To answer them in brief:

You can not disable the on board graphics as the optimus tech is built in and not a bolt on.

Halogen seems to be having the same issues as myself in that you just CAN NOT disable the tech.

Franzuu - unfortunately putting what you have written into launch options prevents DayZ from running at all. I have tried it with more / less / different spacing but to no avail. Is there a way to force DayZ's resolution?

The problem is still there:(

Thanks mate but his was not quite the same issue. He was having a problem with the settings not saving in the Nvidia experience app and therefore allgames were running on the on board graphics. Mine is everything else runs fine, it is only DayZ that wont switch the graphics over.

Sorry game version is 0.52 not 0.51

Vote this up guys. Crashing for everyone I know

I am crashing out at random points. There does not seem to be a specific action or item causing it. However I did notice many people being kicked by battleeye before my crash. Could this be linked? IE issue with Battleeye that is kicking people for not responding but once kicked it is received as a crash at the user end.

I am FREEEEEEEEE. No reset needed. An hour of trying and I am out. Thanks anyways.

My HC ( First Person )character is stuck.

Thanks again

Managed to slip out of clearing but have now ended up stuck in rocks.

Experiencing the same issue. This is the first experimental I have had this issue on. Game freezes completely for a few seconds with loss of sound. Once it starts again the character has jumped forward as if still running during the freeze. Checked system performance during freeze and everything seems normal with a slight drop in resource use.
