Tried. Also tried deleting and re-downloading the entire game, no effect. Disabled all firewalls and anti-viruses, no effect. Edit: Time: 9:50 GMT (+0) The problem just resolved itself in-inexplicably... At first I thought I had fixed it, as I decided to just give DayZ and decided to stop all anti-viruses and firewalls for the 5th time running. But then just to confirm that my solution worked I enabled them all again, and yet the fix remained. One thing I immediately noticed is that when connecting to a server, previously in the bottom left hand corner in red text I would get the pop-up "BattlEye Client Initialized: Version 1.206" then directly below it would show "GUID:(random number and text string)" However now it only shows that the Client has initalized, the string of numbers and letters has vanished, and the stutter is now mysteriously gone. Was there a hot-fix patch? Is anybody else who was suffering from this (OP and a few others) confirm it has been fixed? Double edit: The problem just came back. Except now the message below ""BattlEye Client Initialized" is "BattlEye: Server Corrupted GUID: (numbers/letters)" Symptoms are exactly the same as before, if not worse. Veryifing cache via steam did not fix this. I also tried getting the BattlEye client straight from their website, no change. Currently re-installing DayZ and will update more then. [update] After re-installing DayZ the problem has changed form once again. Now rather than saying "BattlEye: Server Corrupted GUID:" I now get a helpful message telling me "BattlEye: Server Computed GUID:" Of course, exact same problems as originally, with their being a stutter in my step every way, and I once again tested non-battleye servers, where the game performed perfectly. I tried verifying my cache again. I turned off all anti-virus software and firewalls, everything is updated, restarted my router, restarted my pc. Still have it. BattlEye so far has proved to be nothing but extreme headache. Fuck me. I'm on the verge of just giving up.
