Exectah 0 Posted June 22, 2012 I'm just playing normally with the newest beta patches and DayZ patches. But after playing fine for like 5-20 minutes (it varies), my screen goes black and I get the "Receiving..." loading screen (that you can see when you, for example, change Video settings or when you get back to the game from Windows's desktop). It's just stuck there and nothing happens. The game is still running in the background and I usually just have to immediately Ctrl+Alt+Del my way out of the game just so that I don't get hammered by a zombie horde.This started happening right after 1.7.1.5 or the new beta patches (don't know which but with 1.7.1.4 and the old beta patch, everything was fine). I haven't noticed any posts about this issue but I just can't play right now because of this issue. It happens probably every time I try to play. I have tried different servers. Got the same thing on both EU11 and EU12 just today.Help..? :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrsherenai 64 Posted June 27, 2012 Happened for me too untill I tweaked my settings and it turns out that you have to set one setting named "video memory" or something like that to the lowest option given, cant remember the exact name of the option you have to change but may look it up later. Anyway you will find it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I started DayZ (and everything was working nicely), I had every setting on the lowest possible (very low, low or off, depending on the setting). Then I heard rocket saying you should actually have Video Memory set to "Default" in order to gain a boost for FPS. So right now it's on defualt. Will try to change it to the "lowest setting" as you stated. Isn't that just "very low"?EDIT: Okay, the options for "Video memory" setting are Low, Normal, High, Very High and Default. I now set it to Low (it was Default). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Testificate 7 Posted June 27, 2012 I have a similar or the same problem. I use Shift + - (Numpad) and then write flush. That fixes it temporarely.I am not sure if it is my hardware, but I never got similar bugs with other games. I also tried most likely every setting, fix and solution that was described to date, but the bug always comes back. Temperatures are also not too high as only 2 cores are used by the game and the GPU idles 90% of the time.CPU: Q6700RAM: 2x 2GB OCZ (800MHz DDR2 CL7)GPU: GTX 285 2GBHDD: 640 GB WD Caviar BlueOS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
