Freezes and Crashes

[Khad (DayZ) 293]

Hey Guys,

(This is about the latest stable)

Has anyone else experienced a lot of crashes and freezes?

In the first case, DayZ crashes without any warning to the desktop. Often in the mainmenu. In the second, your game crashes ingame.

It seems to wipe the char sometimes. Sure it sucks, but I don't want to complain here. I'm more like confused, because i've never experienced crashes before and was surprised, how stable the alpha runs.

The next mysterious point is, that the game crashes in the same time with the game of my friend, if we play together.

We where in the same place, too. Could it be a missing texture or mesh? Is this bug a known one? Is it a real bug at all? And does anybody, if it will be fixed with the next experiemental?

 

Because...let's be serious: Crashes are the worst could happen to DayZ.

Hmm...its weird yes.My DayZ SA, Never ever crashed.Try reinstalling.

Could be something from the PC, for example the PC closing the game whenever the game gets too heavy.Try giving more priority or lower the graphics a little to make it more light.

Also, what windows are you using?

And it will be a good idea to have any kind of unnessasary background processes closed.

DayZ is a heavy and very picky game.

Could be a bug too but Idk, just giving some suggestions.

Well, my PC is very stable and definitely not overused by DayZ. The PC of my friend, who experienced the crash at the same time is a brand new gaming PC. 

I've not changed anything of my system, since DayZ ran stable.

 

The only thing I made, was turning off the mousesmoothing in the config to "0".
