I use DayZCommander to launch the game however, I also have a shortcut on my desktop (Yes I tried both and neither work.) I also noticed something weird that's been going on for a while now, DayZ Commander will not update to the latest patch but instead it updates to the patch before that. (picture here) I have updated my drivers already as they were not updated and it did fix alot but not what I needed. It's not a heating problem because I put a fan on it and let it cool down for hours, it was not hot at all yet it still froze. I tried updating my BattleEye client a few weeks ago and it allowed me to play normal DayZ but not any other maps but unfortunately, now it's back to where I can't join any map at all. Please help me and, thanks in advance! :D :) ^_^ B) ;) :rolleyes:

Try joining a regular ArmA server and without using DayZ Commander. Check for corrupted game files.

Get back to us.

Okay, thanks for the reply, I will try that.

EDIT; It seems that even normal servers freeze. Im wondering if I should try updating the oa patch and try updating battleye once again.

I tried looking up another topic, there seems to be alot of people that have the same problem but none of their fixes so far have actually helped me one bit.

you dont want 103718 beta for dayz, no dayz servers are using that one yet

use dayz commander and select 103419

not sure if it will help with your computer freezing, its just 1st thing I noticed in your pictures.

hope you find out whats wrong

edit- if nothing else works, try deleting and totally re downloading arma (I know it sucks, but will fix any corrupted files)

Would really love to try that if I could figure out how regedit works (lol) still can't figure out how to fully delete it.
