MSI Afterburner and DayZ

Recommended Posts

So, I have just got a new gpu and everything was working fine before. Now when I go to start DayZ I can't play it with Afterburner running. I had a similar issue on my old card and the only way to fix it was to revert back to the older version.

However, me and my mates all play on pretty much identical rigs (Os, cpu, gpu and even pretty much same ssd) I am the only one out of the 6 of us that is having this issue and we can't work out why.

Has anyone else had this problem?

 

Specs

intel 3750k@4.4ghz

8gb crucial ballistix

MSI R9 290 gaming edition.

120gb crucial ssd

windows 8.1

latest MSI afterburner

 

This is really bugging me as since I have switched from my nvidia gtx 770 I no longer have shadowplay and wanted to start using msi afterburner to record......

 

Ps, no fanboys please saying oh it's cuz AMD are sh!t, or oh I am surprised it worked with your Nvidia card as nvidia suck, heard it all before :P

 

EDIT: I get the error before the game even starts saying DayZ has stopped working and sometimes get the error saying a running instance of steam could not be found. Both DayZ SA and Steam are fully up to date

I run msi and dayz with no dramas.

 

Have you tried staring dayz then alt+tab'ing and then starting msi?

Yeah tried it mate, as I said I have mates running the same rig with no issues whatsoever. I was running my gtx 770 with afterburner and had a similar problem, had to revert to older version. Now though we just can't figure out what the problem is.

Are you using the MSI overlay where you see your fps etc? Also do you use any other overlays? I can't remember was there some overlay problems but it should be fixable. I run MSI Afterburner, RTSS and HWinfo without problems.

Yeah I use it with rivatuner, no problems with my last card and identical setup to the rest of my mates who we all play it on same settings and everything. Yet I can't run afterburner and play DayZ where as they can.
