Can't exit Dayz SA in Windows 10

[cage53 56]

When comes the time for me to exit the game, providing some KOS goof hasn't exited me first,  I hit exit and then get the black DayZ screen and then...I look at that screen for minutes. I eventually have to use task master to close DayZ. Otherwise the game as it is runs fine.

I have this sometimes - if you try and log back in afterwards (without resetting your machine) does is say it cannot install the battleye service?

Thing is - Windows 10 don't work.

It wont even start working OK before Windows 'Twelve point One' comes out next year or so ...

 

(well, first off I'm assuming you're a PC user, not running a smartphone or a Surface-3 upgrade or a twisted iPad, at least, heh, or an Xbox )

 

put "windows 10 problem" in your browser and see how many pages you get .... it's been out in the public for around ONE month, for fraxshake, just don't get involved!

 

(sorry, dude, I feel for you.. but doesn't everyone already know nothing works on a Windows OS until it's at least 18 months old, then it's maybe buyable ? - after SP1 around SP2 time)

 

My advice is, don't listen to that guy in the shop  - Windows 7 64-bit is OK, its shiny, and now it does most everything it should do, so get it cheap, put it on your PC... and all your problems are SOLVED

No. I've never had that error on re-logging. Just find it odd that good old 'ctrl-alt-delete' doesn't function. It had to be the first line of code Gates ever wrote.

I agree about Windows 7 but decided to make the leap anyway and have been presently surprised by Windows 10. I don't think the issues I'm having with DayZ are the fault of the OS.

Fair enough. This could be a DayZ problem 100% that could happen with any OS, I guess. We'll see what comes up.

 

Did you try running DayZ in Compatibility Mode ?

 

I apologize for my attitude to Windows 10

 

[if you ever see me with windows 10 it's because I'm dead and some evil witch threw it in my grave]

 

I don't like the auto-update system, the app system, the shop system, the microsoft decides for you system, the "not owned -  provided as a service", system, the "if you're offline for updates you cant get them after the time limit and you loose your licence", that big brother stuff ... leaving aside any tech problems that might crop up <possibly> (hmm.. I remember the track record since windows 3.1, which worked the best at startup of of any windows OS since that date, IF you were a computer nerd). - New Windows OS just came out? Give it a year, then look at it. Meanwhile read what users and hackers and nerds say on the web. A million freaks are all working on "what it is" right now.

 

-  Microsoft have always decided what YOU want (they want you to be a secretary and not mess with stuff you don't understand), and if you want something a little different (hey, you don't want what THEY want) then you will have to WORK at it. If you want to LEARN about software and hardware, use a Windows OS to do something it won't do, then you NEED to learn -  but If you were born to ALREADY KNOW about that stuff, then Linux makes life easy and fun. And at least with XP or 7, a million people can give you advice right now, and you can run anything because a million people have written stuff that works. 

 

 - everything you can do with a PC now - add Windows 10 to that and it becomes  - only the things microsoft LETS you do, or makes you pay to do? - and Nothing Else.

- and that's if it actually works..

 

I don't disagree with you - I just have a deep psycopathic distrust of Microsoft - ok Cage53 ? - to be fair, you could have made a good decision. Sorry for the Rant.

But I trust them about as far as I can throw a complete 2.4 TDCi engine block without taking it out of the LandRover.

(I've just been trying that today)

This is a good forum, if the problem comes up the answer will be here - remember even the Bohemia boffin-dudes only got their Windows 10 a week or so back.. they haven't hardly taken the textbook to bits yet. Right ? BI dudes ?

Hey Pilgrim,

No problem my friend. I totally agree with you on MS and then totally disagree if you can understand that.

Hey Pilgrim,

did you try Compatibility Mode ?

Win 10 can run selected executable files as if they were running on Win7 by setting Compatibility Mode for each executable.

- find the game's .exe file, then right click on it to open Properties, set Compatibility to Windows 7  - I guess probably you already know this, and tried this?

You may also try the same for other .exe if they are used with the game main executable - such as the battleye launcher exec. Carefully remember where they are to make certain you undo the Compatability options you have set, when you want to..

 

So in theory Win 10 can run softwares exactly as they ran on Win 7

Yep; lol - in the ancient past of computer history Ctrl-Alt-Delete used to be called the Vulcan Nerve Pinch

don't know if many folk still get that joke

Thanks Pilgrim. After the move to stable I can exit the game somewhat normally. I do get an error message about executing an instruction or something or other. This again is an alpha thing so no big concern.
