game not working

[Johnnyboy3032 0]

I can't open the game ! I downloaded it through Steam, then when I click play it says DayZ has stopped working. I have googled the issue and tried everything that was suggested (re-download/install, update drivers, check cache, open as admin, open in windowed mode, re-installed direct-x, turn vertical refresh off, disable desktop composition..etc 

Also, my computer meets all the requirements and still nothing is working. I don't have much money and I have paid to have this game and it won't even open. What should I do ?

I really don't know what to add, have you set Steam & DayZ as exceptions in you firewall ?

Try (not recommended) turning off your Anti-Virus.

What CPU do you have ?

I have tried all that,

my cpu is AMD phenom 9500 Quad-core 2.20GHz

Do you have another computer in the house you could try it on? That one seems pretty weak,but I still think it would run it but you never know. try it on a different computer or at a friends house or something.

Are you able to run other intensive games (e.g. Arma, Planetside 2)?

I have an old cheap laptop, not sure it would be able to run the game, but I can try

I'm not a huge gamer, but I do run L4D2, Arkham City, DreadOut, Among the Sleep without lags or any problems.

If i'm able to run it on a friends computer, will there be a way for me to figure out the problem with my computer ? I'd like to play this game from home and not have to go somewhere else.

not really. i was suggesting this more so that u could compare specs, and see if ur computer is simply not powerful enough.
