zerox024 21 Posted May 1, 2014 Has this been tested out?? seems to be one of those fixes that might work!! ( The game only seems to crash if you "use" too much of the GPU, meaning, if you run around too much or turn your head too much forcing the gpu to load more graphics, can anyone confirm??)i tryed that, didnt change, my graphics is around 70% of use when i play dayz, so it`s not forcing or something like that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WARWHORE(UWS) 5 Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) i also have this problem with it crashitg to desktop. It only happends in DAYZ and it is ruining the game for me. Tried the flush thing, it works and it also makes me game look better when done. Dont like doing this for a fix at all.

Estevacio 62 Posted May 3, 2014 By the wayA side note: my game only crashes if i move(especially run) too much, if i stay in the same spot (around a few buildings and not leave the area) the game does not crash!! ( but it has also happened on the menu aswell when idle)I believe it has something to do with "overflooding" of the graphics creation thus crashing the driverI have also contacted nvidia but i have yet to receive an answer!!

Amachie 3 Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) Do you guys have any software running, which may start a conflict? For example, if i have Fraps open, then DayZ starts to minimize itself, if i have logitech mumble plugin enabled, mumble crashes, etc. Also, if you have low-end to mid-end graphic cards, turn off your graphic settings! (also windows aero, etc). Plus, i recommend that guide to get better FPS: Edited May 5, 2014 by Amachie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus, i recommend that guide to get better FPS: No mate, it seems specific to the game itself(no other programs interfere) altough might help on the timing of it, but not necessarily on its cause!! I have tried all settings ranging from low to high( no ultra or very low) but FPS gain seems to have no influence, the only influence that i have noticed is how fast you "ask" the game for graphic generation(moving around too much) What is your GPU???

volume098 1 Posted May 15, 2014 Have the same problem. Fixed mine when i underclock my vcard. Using a EVGA Gtx 550 ti. stock clock is 980mhz . I underclock it to 950 and it never crash again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdelicious 0 Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) I have been getting the same exact problems. Sometimes it will do the usual, crash to desktop after any random amount of time (sometimes 10 minutes, 30, or about an hour) while being able to still control my character and hear sounds but can't get back in without quitting it through either task manager or right clicking the DayZ icon from the taskbar and hitting "Close window", and other times (just started recently) the game will completely crash Steam. System specs: OS: Windows 8 64-bit (6.2, Build 9200) System Model: Dell XPS 8700 Processor: Intel Core i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz (8CPUs), ~3.4GHz Memory: 16384MB RAM DirectX Version: DirectX 11 Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 645 Approx. Total Memory: 4037 MB Driver updated to 335.23 (anything else lags Arma 3 and crashes Rising Storm) I downgraded my driver a bunch of times to see if It would fix it, nope. My current drver runs Arma 3 beautifully. I noticed that disabling McAffee's firewall while playing will sometimes fix the crashing, but that is temporary and can be dangerous. I haven't tried Razor Booster, if anybody has, does it disable GeForce Experience along with ShadowPlay? Does it even work? Sorry for the really long post, I am urgent to fix this problem, I even contacted NVIDIA about it, no response though. Thinking about downgrading to Windows 7, thinking it could solve it but now as I see others who have 7 are getting crashes too..... D: EDIT: My friend told me a fix, quit steam, make sure DayZ isn't running, and got to: Computer > OS (C:) > Users > (Your name) > My Documents > DayZ and delete your DayZ.cfg folder. Relaunch DayZ and it will reset your video configuration so you will have to redo all of that. Don't worry it won't reset any saved characters. This fixed it for us, try it out if anybody is still looking for a solution! Edited May 17, 2014 by JDelicious Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WARWHORE(UWS) 5 Posted May 18, 2014 Still no help? Maybe its just how under developed this game is. Dev will put cosmetic shit in and not fix the real problems. I think ill just try a new vid card cuz i cant figure it out and nothing seems to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malibuz0r 14 Posted May 18, 2014 I have a GTX550 Ti and the problem with me is the driver version. I'm (was)using version "335.23" and it kept crashing every time to the desktop. I downgraded to "334.89" and the problem still occurred. I even tried the beta versions and still. So I went all the way down to "332.21" and haven't had a single crash.

Estevacio 62 Posted June 8, 2014 Guys, great news!!! a Developer answered in the bug report área, all you have to do is disable Vsyinc, as for the experimental build they say it has been fixed!!! (have tested it, the game wanted to crash 2 tmes, started the hang ups, but much shorter and does not crash at all) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
