***Ok, no help from the admins or whoever monitors such things. Someone was engaged earlier in this thread, then nothing when a resolution was clearly not in sight:[ I hate to create a new post on this but its makes the game UNPLAYABLE and have tried all suggested and some tricks of my own. Please update/respond to this thread DAYZ folks. Thank you.

Hello all, the game runs for a few minutes to over a half an hour in some cases.Then minimises to desktop and will not show video again until program is restarted.Many reports of this in another thread that I responded too but seems to be dead conversation. The list of T/S is exaustive, anyone experience this and find a resolve? Any way to work with game developers on a seemingly widespread issue?

I have exact same issue, tried all and more from forum. The "flush" trick does not work for me.

HA HA HA HA, DAYZ standalone drops at midnight! C'mon, a game this unique and rare building to this mysterious "it's not gonna happen" launch is inevitable. It's coming guys(thats what she said)oh yah... It's coming. Mark my words!

Sell your cat? What a PIMP!

So if it is hard and depressing to make a game you once felt passionate about just quit. Ive had enough bull, be true to yourself and walkaway. Theres alot harder issues people are facing than what your dealing with.

Yah, I went through hell to get the gear I had,then about to die so found a cow and it disappears after gutting. boo$hit!

Hello all, So I watched a video where a jerry can was shot and it exploded. only stays lit for a short time so doubt I could cook steaks with this method. Anyone know if you can light a wood pile if put near jerry can? Aslo Loot takes alot longer to spawn than zombies ive noticed,anyone else have any opinions or thoughts on loot/zombie behaviour? Another thing, i am always getting setup good with gear but dying of starvation(actualy its the desperate chances I take to find food that kills me)I finaly got all items needed to survive in the wild but very low blood,manage to see a cow and kill but atfer the message 8 steaks available it just vanishes!!! I would like some fishing tackle in game.

I grabbed a windshield or something car related up there and immediate glitch. Had to reboot computer.

My current character has been alive for three days. I spent a cold rainy night crawling to hospital in some town near Balota. had a broken leg and it was the first time I entered a hospital.Plenty of medical supplies(YAY!)and now I can get back to my usual goal...to eat food. Killed a cow and have meat but no matches,my usual story, cant find a natural fire source and am low blood and about to start losing health from hunger. I am north of balota in a small town, just found a grenade, What im gonna do after work is create a wood pile and detonate grenade near it...dont know if it will work but better than dying of hunger without trying:]

OK, so couldnt build a fireplace without matches I guess? died an ignoble death and moved on to a high pop server.immediately picked up by a dude with a car and dropped of in town and then died again.

Please any guidance on where/directrions

or maybe montecala?

I find the realism in game to be very true to life. I in fact am developing a bit of an aversion to play. It feels like survival especialy when your on low pop servers and die from exposure/hunger.

I cant take another f'd up trip into a town right now. Im above Balota and it would be quite a trip. I have a few loot buildings I will try in this town and then Grenade!! I also imagined gathering a bunch of zombies and grenading myself and them in true movie style.

Ive yelled for help but nobody around. I may try to hit someone up on skype. Another thing, I have been stalking and killing zombies very successfuly and finding they drop useful things(water bottle/food/soda).it also seems that they are spawning in twos now, alot more out there but still easy to kill as they will get buggy and forget your there alot of the time.

I have spawned numerous times in areas that dont seem to be on the wicki map. One was qaury another just said airstrip or airfield. Cant find theses spawn points. Also cant find them on map. I just started using the map and a bit frustrated as it never seems to jibe with where Im at. Anyone know where these particular spawn points are(qaurry/airstrip or airfield)?

So I am almost dead(les than 2000 blood)and looking like crazy for beans or matches. I have 6 raw meat, So im in this building thats like a parking garage. I search every floor and nothing,going unconcous alot. I finaly give up and discover a natural fire in a metal can on bottom floor! WTH natural fire in DAYZ? Anyway I cooked and ate to revive myself and am going good again. Where else are their natural fire?

Just FYI I have found you can light any natural fire source(barrells is all I have found)without matches. Also can choose to extemguish.

So I have been traveling in DAYZ for a little longer than a month. Still no matches/axe/hntg knife. Found a water bottle once:] Just now I found a crash site!! So excited,sneaked up and one gun for kloot which I lost as my back pack couldnt hold so it dissapeared?? Is there a way to get in helicopter to loot?? Anyway I lured military zombies to kill and check if they hold cool loot but was deaded by the deadites*. anyone have comments or explanations on crash sites?

I know right, Basicaly if I spawn at Chenarus, I know to run to the pier then into the city proper. Once I spawned at an airstrip, I was very excited, found a couple bunkers with alot of player bodies. None of them lootable. I think maybe the killers chose hide body?? But I just have no idea where I am most of the time:] Went on deer stand hunt recently and ended up glitched in no mans land!! But it is very George Romero Dawn of the dead feel.(My opinion)so this game rocks NUFF said.

Ok, thanks on the item switching. That seems very important. Man I saw that crash site and thought it would contain mana from heaven. I had a bear trap on my person when deaded BTW. Thought peopole were wondering if they were spawned on some post. I found it in a Barn.

I have found all items, just not together*

I knew I should have done a little more searching! As for the hunting knife/matches yah man I have run around in towns/barns but honestly not enough. If you play this game without guides, you find a great deal of your time spent checking totaly unlootable buildings:] But the athmosphere and reality of the game brings you back. I love it and if the stand alone game sucks(loses this raw unheard of flavor)I will still be happy to have experienced it in its purest form.

I have not lost "faith"
