Feuerbart 14 Posted May 14, 2014 Hi there, not quite sure if this is the right section in the forum. Please feel free to move if wrong... I experienced some trouble with the game when I minimize the game window with alt+tab to desktop (Win7 btw). It wouldn't open again but always automatically minimize again and again and I have to use the task manager to close the game. Really annoying! Is there anybody else that has similar problems?

Really annoying After you get the selectionscreen to open your Task Manager (CTRL ALT DEL), did you try clicking on the "DayZ" icon in your hotbar again? That might solve your problem. Sometimes does for me, especially when tabbing out whilst loading. It usually helps to hit CTRL ALT DEL, open the Task Manager, and then just click on the game in the takbar (do not ALT-TAB back in). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mos1ey 6301 Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) Try running the game with the -nopause launch option in Steam. Right-click DayZ in your Steam Library. Go to Properties > Set Launch Options and type in -nopause. Edited May 14, 2014 by Mos1ey 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mos1ey 6301 Posted May 14, 2014 No problem. Hopefully that should work. It basically tells the game to keep rendering while you alt + tab, so it should stop you from having problems when you try to get back into the game. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Estevacio 62 Posted May 14, 2014 Hey man!! not quite sure if it is the same problem, but do you happen to have a nvidia GTX series?? or if the problem was solved with that fix i would love to hear about it!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feuerbart 14 Posted May 14, 2014 me again tried the -nopausedidnt work tried the other suggestiondidn't work either And yes, I have a GTX560Ti OC currently. quite old drivers, because of the blackscreen issue with the new drivers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Estevacio 62 Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) YepIt is a problem regarding gtx series ( i believe 500 and lower)Affects also some ati tooWhat i do( temporary measure) Is when your game crashes, do not do anything until you can see your desktopHold "shift" + "-" and type "flush" ( simple as that) the game will reset graphics and will come back after a small delay ( forgot to mention that you don't need to keep pressing shift and - while typing, just press them both, release, and type)There are some glitches after that( disapearing text, color correction is diferent, etc...) but will allow you to continue playing without quiting!!

Feuerbart 14 Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) Feedback: Just switched the GTX560ti OC with a GTX570Ti from a friend and installed the latest drivers.Problem is still there. Really annoying. Edited May 16, 2014 by Feuerbart 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
