If you have zone-alarm installed, go down by your clock in your taskbar. Look for the Zone-Alarm icon and right-click on it and select Exit. This will disable and close zone-alarm. If you dont have zone-alarm, i would still close and exit whatever anti-virus/firewall program you have and try to play again.

Zone-Alarm is a firewall/anti-virus program

So, I am not sure why I didn't try this last night. Maybe it was a bit to late and wasn't thinking correctly. I have Zone-Alarm and I decided to close it out completely so it was no longer running on my system. When I logged in this morning, I had no freezing at all. If you have Zone-Alarm - RIght-click on the program and exit completely. Worked for me, hope it does you too.

All, I am having this same exact issue. Unfortunately it makes it completely unplayable. I am new to DayZ(Standalone and Mod) What it does Every 30 seconds(sometimes shorter/longer) the game will freezeAfter freeze your character will sometimes teleport several yards in front of where you were movingThis happens either when looking around or moving, checking inventory and also when changing settings on the in-game menu optionsIssue does not occur on the main menu of the game, only once you are in-gameUnfortunately makes it unplayable Things I have done I checked online and seen a bunch of things to try out, such as the steam tweaks(adding the -no### stuff)I also seen where you could modify part of the DayZ.cfg file to help out.I have set everything in the video options to either disabled or very lowI have my video rendering at 100%(but also tried the lowest and I get the same freezing.)I have updated my graphics and network drivers(I have actually uninstalled them and installed drivers a few version back as well)Network speed is 50MBpsGraphics Card is HD7570(I have even tried with the fan at 100% incase of wierd heat issues, didnt matter)8GB RAM - Windows 7 - 64bitI tried several other graphics intensive games and get no such lag/freezing issues. Like others, any assistance would be very helpful. I understand this is alpha and I have played many to understand there will be problems, just anxious to try this out after watching some videos on how epic a game it is. Thank you and I appreciate your time reading and looking into this -Watermouse
