zer000 0 Posted January 12, 2014 Hello, I've just purchased DayZ via Steam and downloaded it. Everytime I click on "Play" to start the game it crashes instantly."DayZ has stopped working" and so on - you know the drill. No splashscreen, no black window, nothing execpt this error. Graphic drivers are up to date, DirectX too. I've also tried various compatibility mode options like "Disable Desktop Composition"and "Run as Administrator" and so on, restarted the computer, disabled AntiVir. Well, I expected some trouble - it's an alpha!But that I can't play at all.. grrrr.. very annoying. Damn!

chaospinhead 5 Posted January 12, 2014 I had exactly the same problem. Unfortunately I had to uninstall and re-download the game, and after re-install it worked perfectly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
