***Update*** I am now able to get into DayZ. How many of you have the "resolution bug"? Where the game is automatically set at low resolution? In my case, it was set at 640x480 and compensated by 200% rendering which made it horrible looking. I looked up the resolution bug and was able to fix it, and actually get into the game. As for playing it and having it minimize - I am going to test that out tonight. Anyone that has resolution issues and think that it might be part of this problem here is a link that will help you fix it http://steamcommunity.com/app/221100/discussions/0/540744935156985772/ If the game doesn't kick me and minimize tonight, I will definately believe that the "resolution bug" had something to do with it.

I have the same problem and it just got worse. System Specs: OS: Windows 7 64 bit legit copy AMD FX 6 core 3.79GHz 16GB or RAM MSI Radeon R9 280X Motherboard: Asus MSA97 LE R2.0 I have the same exact issue that everyone is complaining about in this forum. I just want everyone to know that it just isn't Nvidia cards that are experiencing this. Once the issue began, I decided to uninstall the game and re-install it. I noticed that my graphics would not go above 640x480 (which is pretty weird consitering my rig. That was a big mistake. Now I can't even get into the game because upon start up it minimizes and won't let me in. I am currently in the process of updating my graphics drivers to see if that solves any of this issue. If not I am not going to be happy. This issue also happens to one of the people that I play DayZ with online so this isn't just some random issue, it is a dev issue and it is pretty recent - within the last few builds. (and yes, I have tried to alt+tab and/or select the minimized icon on the task bar to re-enter and it does nothing) Any input and help would be appreciated. Thx.

:rolleyes: LOL is that supposed to be intimidating? I mean, why even comment if it is something as worthless as that? OOooooOOOh - watch out folks, he kills because he "wants to see you dead." - um, try harder to be psychopathic because you failed at the first attempt... because "video game." How embarrassing.

If only I could remove any beans you have... if only. It is a game about zombies... LOL "Please remove the zombies from a zombie game" <--- serious? Nah, I believe you troll... seriously. It is that bad of a troll that it is easily detected... because how can it not be a troll?

I have never had any spawn on me while shooting, very near me - yes. Not within immediate striking distance. If you are laying down, or crouched - sure, it will take you time to get up, put your weapon away and run... and by that time - whoops. Like I said, good for the devs on this one. I have battled KoS and bandits with spawning zombies all around me - makes things more fun... including watching the other player run around like a maniac trying to defend himself from zombies and myself. Next time someone takes a shot, they will think twice about spawning zombies :D

Can you please stop spamming every thread I see with this? I will start reporting it soon because it is really irritating. The entire damn game is centered around a zombie apocalypse and you want only one thread dedicated to "Official Zombie discussion"??? Can you see why people are going to get upset and start flagging your post? No, I am not going to read an Official Zombie discussion thread - this forum is an official forum for discussing a game based around zombies... no need for an official thread when we have an official forum.

I just couldn't help but laugh at this... looks like the new zombie spawn implementation is working good folks! :) Shhhhhh. No tears... only dreams now.

No reason for this not to have "greyed out" like the other trees/grass. I smell some meddling.

actually - looking at the image in photoshop - pretty sure it was tampered with. I am messing around with the exposures and the thing he is referring too stays green when everything else greys out. I call fake.

And I am saying it is a tree bro... I just lightened it up in Photoshop - branches, nothing big. Look at something long enough (like clouds) and yes, your brain will create something out of it to recognize. If anything; it looks like a swamp monster - but it isn't, it is a tree. It is a tree bro.

And for once, I am glad they made the zombies more powerful. That is the best aspect of the experimental that they ported over. Get used to it, and hopefully get used to more zeds :D Gimmeee some freakin hordes people!!!

Your character needs food and water badly (ancient video game reference).... Get your character into "heal" mode and healed up, you won't be bleeding every time you get hit.

The barricading systems made me LOL. Barricades won't matter if the zombies clip through everything in the game. Maybe they should fix their horrible clipping issue before working on barricading.

Circled pic = tree bro.

:huh: there is nothing in this pic but trees, ferns, grass and a guy with a gun...

and I just noticed there are two batches of M4 ammo at 162,391 rounds??? Really???? 324,782 rounds... speechless. Thank goodness... I was all bug eyed and jaw on the ground.

How the 162,391 rounds?!? Either a hack or bug... but... lol, no one can hold that much ammo.

I didn't know. Interesting. So, it is airborne. In that case; most of the loot in towns and bases would still be there - there would be much more food in the houses and a lot more guns.

wait... you can check a pulse???

Which is why we need a back story to this. Are we just immune? Did the military get infected and leave their guns all over? Or did they pack up and leave to go to another country?

Yeah, what is really missing is a back story. Are we not infected because we are immune? I think if they played up that aspect and put literally millions of zombies on the map, it would make looting more difficult - especially at military installations where the public fled to be safe. Getting a vehicle would be a death wish, as hordes of infected block roadways and bandits snipe drivers so they can get the car... The mechanics of the game need to balance out each action. The devs need to weigh strengths and weaknesses: If we put hundreds of guns in a military base (like it is supposed to be) there needs to be thousands of infected at that base.If we put in vehicles - those vehicles will need to be maintained, and an easy target to be blocked by a horde of zeds. Everyone says this is just alpha, and I do wonder if the dev team even reads the forums. If not, they are missing out on a ton of great features that could be added to the game.

While the "dead" kind are unrealistic - DayZ is a "take" on an infection that turns people into mindless killers. So, while it most likely would never ever happen... ever - there is always a slight possibility that some virus could eventually develop that affects the brain in a way that would turn a person into a psychopathic killer that wants to rip a person to shreds. Is it airborne? What is the virus transmission method? Are we, the survivors immune, which is why we are so few? If we are immune, there needs to be millions of zombies.

Not if the devs boost up the survival aspect of the game. More zombies (hordes of them!!!!), zombies only die on head shots, dangerous wildlife, character is subject to the elements like to hot (gets dehydrated faster), too cold (hypothermia) and a ton of other stuff they could throw in to balance it all out.

darn it... they must have fixed crawling out of a wall... :( They shouldn't have fixed a bug within a bug that solves the problem

Try crawling out - That happened to me, vaulting and nothing else worked but crawling... it worked like a charm.
