Random Minimizing Anyone? Can't recover game

[dulix11 731]

Hello,

 

Twice now I've been playing DayZ, and it will freeze for maybe 5 seconds, and then shoot to a black screen, before plonking me on my desktop. DayZ is still running, it is still open on my sidebar, but I can't open it.

 

Not from the task manager, not from the 

 

Right clicking on the taskbar icon and selecting "DayZ" from the list, gives me a Steam error. It says "Preparing to launch DayZ...", and then "Failed to find a running instance of Steam."

 

Anyone having similar problems?

If you click the icon in your task bar, and nothing comes up but you still hear sound, what you do to fix it is hold left shift and press the minus (-) key on your num pad, then type the word "flush" (can't remember if you have to press enter, haven't done it for a while). There won't be any visible text box, you just type the word flush and it reloads your graphics. It's worth giving this a try even if you don't hear any sound.
