ok , i might have fixed this issue - like this: dowanload from ATI drivers from http://support.amd.com/en-us/download fill in the GPU generation and Os system - i have used the beta for my card AMD_Catalyst_14.3_Beta_V1.0_Windows_B22_March12 . Personnaly i tested with the latest beta version and it's stable enoygh !! i also installed TRIXX for tweaking the VGA a bit more...but i don't think it's necessary REBOOT complete uininstall all vga drivers (here is a link for manually deleting the registry settings that are left after uninstall ...http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=379461 even if you uninstall there are still records in the registry ..so be thourough !!) REBOOT i played for at least 10 hours last night - changed servers and modes - and worked like it is supposed- i actually enjoyed the game after a LONG TIME!!!! if anyone tries it lmk

Have been playing Hardcore and noticed that the crashes/ blanc screen is CONSIDERABLE LESS (it still happened ONCE- so far! ) Could it be because i have much less items with me?? or the Zombies are less in number ? Can any one confirm if using only One MELLE and ONE RIFLE still causes crashes?? (instead of holdng an additional second rifle with your hands) ???

parameter MaxMem has to do with the amount of RAM your windows can manage (64bit windows can utilize 8 GB but win32 can not etc)

i used these parameters to try increasing the max memory available to the game and a few more minor tweeks -nosplash -noPause -cpuCount=8 -maxMem=8192 but to no effect.. i tend to believe it's a GPU problem - i uninstalled the vga drivers with generic drivers ( from ATI site ) including the AMD Gaming Evolved program ( FYI : AMD Game Evolved sets optimal settings for popular games - unfortunately DayZ is still in Aplha so there is no available game profile ) The result is the game runs a bit more stable ( for longer periods) but still crushes ... Also tried running DayZ from the AMD Game Evolved program which in turn activates Steam and DayZ but still crushes are UNAVOIDABLE... Believe that until a game profile in AMD is created (from AMD) the crushes will haunt this game !!!!

SAme crash with my system as well i7 870 @ 2,93Ghz ASUS RADEON R7 260X / 2Gb 8GB Kit (4GBx2) ADATA DDR3 @1866 Win7 ultimate SP1/ 64bit the problem started with the last two updates- never before!

Thunder and lighting were active right after the new patch was introduced- now haven't seen any from then. Also FYI : i put down an M4 on rock surface and it DISAPPEARED - my guess is it went to the bottom of the rock formation = LOST !@! lost an all PRISTINE 60mag/Suppressor/MP Butstock/ M68 scope that way !!!!!

i finnaly got it to work - the weapons file must have been corrupt , even if the verification proccess from STEAM didn't find it. complete uninstall. manually delete any directories and files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Dayz re-install/ download from STEAM. Character is unaffected. All weapons now work fine

yes, that's the way things work for all the other weapon (FNX, Mossin ) for me as well... only the M4 give me the grief ....no dragging , no menu options or any other way to add things once i take them off the M4 .. :(( have completely uninstalled the game and removed any remaining files and going for a new installation...

nope, obviously dragging items from the inventory to the m4 and vice versa doesn't work. similarly , after making a verification of files , nothing has improved. once i take an item from the gun , i can't put it back , and anything i try to add it simply won't attach to the gun - only option i get is SWAP HANDSTOCK!!! SO NOT COOL to kave all those spots in my inventory filled with goodies for the M4 and now they are simply useless !! anyone knows if i delete ALL the local files , will my current character be lost with them??? thnks again

have just finished verifying local files ...will try now and let you know. thnks for the input

Although i can use attachments for FNX (sillenser, pistol flashlight) and on mossin (tripod, suppressor,bajonet,scope) i CAN NOT USE ANY attachemtn on the M4A1 !!!! With ANY M4 i find, when i take the default optics off the gun (left click->Detach) then i simply CAN'T add a new scope even if the new scope is pristine and the gun pristine!!! CANN'T add silenser , or ANY OPTICS or even a Tripod !!! i only get a message REPLACE HANDGUARD and i can replace it succesfully- have a RIS and replaced the default plastic handle with the RIS but CAN'T ADD Flashlight!!! i CAN'T replace the buttstock with anything ,but even though i have a CQB , i take anything from the gun- detach anything and i can't put it back, not even the original piece i just detatched!! EVEN IF IT'S PRISTINE! i have tried using attachment while holding the gun in my hand, with the M4 on the ground (not holding) ,and with the gun on my back (right-side inventory) but STILL NOTHING!!! Is there something wrong with my items database ?? is there a corrupt file i should delete ??? something i should manually update ???? any IDEAS PEOPLE???
