New Crashes: Black "Receiving" Screen and Crash to Desktop

[2-Skinny 0]

SO DayZ has been running fine for me since 1.6 and through all the hotfixes. I've noticed since 1.7.1.5 (I think) I have had issues with the game randomly cutting to the black "receiving" screen- in the middle of the game. I can still hear sound while this happens. Additionally, I get the occassional crash right to the desktop with the "armaoa.exe has encountered an error" message or whatever. Does anyone know if this is a known issue/bug with the .5 hotfix or what?

Ok- I will post the last lines of my page file when it happens next.

I get the same black "Receiving..." screen. Usually it just stays there and I have to shut down the whole game through Ctrl+Alt+Del. And the game is running normally in the background... Sometimes the black "Receiving..." screen just appears for a few seconds and then goes away. Like the game was loading something.

This started after the newest hotfix and/or beta patch.

I created a thread about this but no replies...

^ This is what is happening to me. I usually have to ctrl+alt+del

Try running in compatibility mode, running as administrator, and running steam as administrator.

Experience has told me to do this already. Nothing works. I am assuming it was from one of the hotfixes? Perhaps we will be able to play Monday after they launch the newest version.

And I just looked and looks like there is a GPU spike to 100% usage right when the game crashes... running WinXP BTW...

I have a Windows XP (Professional) too. May that be the issue?

[Tuomio (DayZ) 3]

Windows XP is not the issue. I have win7 and have had crashing problem too. I cant play the damn game. Try put your graphics to the "very low" and let me know if it has any effect to this.

[Wired 1]

Does anyone here who is having this issue NOT have a geforce card?

What crash? My game doesn't crash. I'm talking about the black "Receiving..." screen which forces you to Ctrl+Alt+Del your way out of the game. The one that OP mentioned. He just additionally mentioned the crashing (which I'm not experiencing).

So who is having the black "Receiving..." screen issue? NOT THE CRASHES. Please respond with your OS and in-game graphics settings.

My PC specs:

- Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40 GHz

- ATI HD 5870 1 GB

- 4 GB RAM (DDR2 @ 800 MHz)

- 80 GB hard drive

- Windows XP Professional (32-bit)

I just wanted to add that I solved the black "Receiving..." screen problem. It stopped right after I changed "Video memory" from 'Default' to 'Low' in the game's Video settings.

[sinsprophecy 14]
