Bad time for display driver crash

Recommended Posts

Was playing DayZ and I respawned in (fully geared) to that little shed east of the NWAF. Before my eyes was a guy crouching. He looked at me and then a loud sound and my display driver crashed.

I could still hear the game and control my character, but I couldn't see anything. Quickly I used my memory to move out of the shed. I restarted the game and waited the whole 250 seconds to spawn.

I knew I was dead. I had to be right?

I spawned in and guess what, I was alive, and what was even weirder was the guy was still in the shed. He sat there for an hour. He wasn't afk because he was moving in the shed.

Strange things in DayZ (especially playing at 4 am).

I was Nvidia would address this issue; its been happening for years. Out of all the games I have installed on my rig, Dayz SA and the Mod are the only two that are affected by this. You can fix this on the mod, by alt-tabbing from game to desktop, then back into the game. Do this twice in a row, and your monitor should pickup the correct display frequency. Havn't been able to find a fix for the Standalone.

 

The inevitability of this problem and very frequent game crashes still ruin the game some what for me, and penalize me with a spawn in timer mechanic that really shouldn't be related but is due to not be tweaked enough yet.

I'd like to know if anyone's had any luck in finding a solution for this. Happens a couple times a night for me. Sometimes as soon as I start, sometimes a few hours in. My GPU temps get up to 70-80 so maybe overheating? My second monitor is not affected though.

 (running a sad GTS 450 but fps isn't too terrible on low - mid)

  Thanks for any help
