Screen randomly fading into complete black.

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Firstly I know that this is not a system spec issue. I'm at work so can't get a DXDIAG but I run an i7 .2.8ghz, 6GB DDR and a GTX 560 - Usually I play on max settings and get very good FPS.

Last night on an Epoch server I was playing on, my screen started getting dark whilst I was driving, I thought it was cloudy skies or something but it kept fading more and more until I got total black screen, I could still see my menu when I hit escape.

My wife was sat behind me on her laptop and she confirmed it was still daytime, so I relogged and the problem went, it then happened again about 30 minutes later, exactly the same. A slow fade into black which took I guess 20 seconds or so, and then I relogged and it was fine.

This is the first time I have ever had some kind of graphical issue with DayZ, I don't see how this can be system related so would really appreciate any feedback you might have.

*Also, I should note the first time this happened was after about an hour of normal gameplay. All my vitals were fine, or at least above 80%, my PC was not overheating and this isn't a symptom of what I would expect to see if it were. I thought it was some new feature like I was infected, so just in case I took all of the medical items, and still nothing. Weird it faded my gameplay screen and UI but not the menus?

I launch via SIX and as far as I know everything client side is up to date,.

Many thanks,

That's the weight system in epoch. You have to rest or you black out. Next update will change to shaking and blur effect much like severe blood loss.

Thank you so much! That would make perfect sense as we were on our way back from gathering supplies and my inventory and backpack were totally full. I didn't even realise this had been implemented, will have to be mindful of what I'm carrying next time.

yeah you gotta watch your weight, no more backpacks full of wheels, tank traps and such. took me and my friends a while to figure out too, but after dropping the gear it very slowly recovers, but painkillers seemed to make it go away pretty quick
