My DayZ keeps going ''Disco mode'' every 15-20minutes.

Recommended Posts

So, I've been playing DayZ for many many months, but recently I started to encounter this problem on each DayZ session. I can play in peace for15-20minutes when I start to see random texture flashing, then it just keeps going worse. The worst case is that my screen turns completely red / green.

I play on low settings, fps is around 40-50 at the coast, and cities fps is 20ish. I have this problem only in DayZ, other games are fine. 
When I exit the game I see this ''Display driver stopped working and has recovered'' And only thing that fixes it for a while is restarting the whole machine again. 
Anyone having the same issue and possibly fixed it, or any suggestions? :--/

Have you tried holding (left shift) then hitting (-) on the numpad then type in flush to see if that rids it? 

 

EDIT:

 

Also if you could post your pc specs and driver version number someone else with the same issue might have insight.

I'm guessing its intel graphics, just guessing

Don't hate hardware man.

Not hating, looks like texture corruption. Intel onboard graphics have been known for texture bugs

Might be his only card. If that is indeed the case.

Graphics card is Radeon HD 7610M, version number is 8.982.7.0.
I've been trying to update my possibly outdated drivers, but as pc being toshiba one, it does not let me do that directly on amd driver page. :--/

Her.* My hardware may be shitty, nothing too fancy, but this far it's been just fine. Just wondering if my problem is fixable or will my playing like this eventually destroy my graphics card? :D

Hmm same root problem i'd  imagine, shared graphics memory. Its been known to create these kinds of issues, driver update should fix one day. Try playing around with AA PP and AF (as in turn them off)

Meh. Must try that tomorrow then if I see any difference.

Because it happens over time, not immediately, it suggests a thermal issue.  Check for blockages.  Blow the air intake out with compressed air.  If skilled, replace thermal paste.

So I changed my graphics settings even lower, stuff are on very low now + lowered rendering resolution too, even tho it was blurry and stuff. 

 

It seems I was able to play longer this time, from 15-20 minutes to about an hour. Then disco mode  happened again, and I checked my GPU and CPU temperature right away. They were both about the same temperature during the hour, GPU was 59 celsius (highest 62 ) and CPU was 70 celsius. (highest 72) 

 

Are the temperatures normal?

I suspect that harteman is correct and your graphics card is overheating and spazzing out.

 

I would recommend checking your temps the next time that the issue occurs to make sure that they are safe for your hardware. Running too hot will cause irreparable damage over time, so it's quite important that you do this. If it is exceeding (or even getting too close to) the max. safe temp then I would recommend giving your hardware a good old clean out.

 

Failing that I would try both updating and rolling back your graphics drivers as I've seen similar issues in other games caused by driver issues.

Today as I updated to WIN 8.1, It downloaded me the the latest drivers for my card. Old ones was from year 2012, new ones that I got now are new and fresh, from this month.  
( I posted the temperatures earlier above ) I'm going to try the game again, if the problem still occurs I'm going to need help with the clean up, I never managed to open this Toshiba machine. Maybe someone who is good with this stuff can help me out. :)
