The White Screen Bug - Will I never be able to play DayZ againThe White Screen Bug - Will I never be able to play DayZ again

''The White Screen Bug - Will I never be able to play DayZ again?''

so I know that I would probably never be able to join a 0.60 experimental server, however I would like to go to the main menu and see if fps increased at all,

However the following happened, I press the blue play button on steam and Battleeye comes up for a second, no errors, no files being blocked and dissapears again, after a few seconds both battleeye and DayZ.exe appear which seems fine however then the infamous message that every PC user hates to see pops up, the screen turns completely white and the message reads ''DayZ has stopped Working.''

Things I tried:

- Update my windows to latest version
- Updating my drivers (except for my monitor driver because it doesnt support it, good job AMD)
- Remove all or add launch parameters
- start up dayz in compatible modes, or without compatible modes
- start up DayZ from the main directory instead through steam
- start DayZ from safe mode
- Start dayz with all programs closed but steam through task manager.

Eventually (partly because my PC is an absolute mess) I made a backup and reset my windows, leaving me with a clean version of Windows 7, but still no luck :/

I have played this game with around 27-31 fps in electro and 36-46- fps in forests since day one and never had any real complaints.

this is my outdated gear:

- DirectX11
- Windows 7 64 bit
- Ati Mobility Radeon HD 5470
- 4GB of RAM
- AMD Phenom II P960 Quad Core Processor with 1.8 GHZ (4CPU's)
Notebook model : K52Dr

Direct X functions:
DirectDraw acceleration = on
Direct3D acceleration = on
AGP = on

Note: dxdiag did not find any problems.

If this is just an experimental bug is something ill see in the future, I really hope it is as I have enjoyed this game since the dayz our bodies could do strange positions and everyone had m4s and mosins.

 

 

Note: I have filed this to the feedback/bug tracker for exp

Well, I doubt there's all that much you can do about it. The devs are aware of this issue - even I had it once, though I got no error box. You'll probably have to wait for stable - it's issues like this (among others) that are keeping .60 in experimental.

You might try deleting (or just rename it, so you have a backup) your dayz config and letting the game create a new default one, and see if that helps.

C:\Users\Username\Documents\DayZ\DayZ.cfg

Might not be the problem, but I would go a extra step and do a clean install instead of a reset. Unless you meant clean install. Resets can carry over problems, this comes from my own experience.
