alt then tab, keep tabbing to select the right program instead of clicking with your mouse.

Just reload the game I would assume that would fix the error (works with 99% of most other games).

alt+tab instead of clicking with your mouse.

Basically this, if you click on the taskbar it registers as a fire in the game causing that to happen. No real way around outside of what I quoted.

Tips from a long time Arma player:

press escape to open menu then alt tab

open your map then alt tab

open your gear menu then alt tab

Yep, hit ESC before you tab out otherwise you risk the chance of ALT locking the next button you hit (in the menu, you'll sometimes see ALT lock TAB and you'll be quick scrolling through the menu). Also, make sure you tab out with your weapon on semi-auto.

Run it in windowed mode.

Also you can back out of any menu by hitting ESC. So after you pull up the Gear menu or the ESC menu, click back on the menu somewhere and then escape out.

I have seen this happen to streamers but I have never had it happen to me, probably because I have been playing in windowed mode.

Alt-Enter is the shortcut for windowed mode. It took me a few tries to get it but eventually i did. I think I had to streatch the window after I windowed it too, but I forget now.

Press escape to open menu, then alt-tab.

Open your map, then alt-tab.

Open your gear menu, then alt-tab.

This.

I had the auto-fire problem once, and ever since I've "paused" the game before alt-tabbing.

If this happens to you all you have to do is left click to get rid of it.

Funny story. I had a friend who had alt tabbed out or ctrl alt del, whatever. He comes back in and fires off few shots from his machine gun and starts running. I ask him why he fired, said he alt tabbed. He keeps running trying to find his precious, precious motorbike. He finally spots it in it's hiding spot and runs up to it. As soon as he stops running he unloads like 50 bullets into it. Funniest thing I've ever seen in DayZ.

Tap ctrl twice before alt-tabbing out. You can also hit escape, g, or any other command that will prevent you from firing.

I open up my gear or press ESC prior to alt tabbing so that doesn't happen.

OMG, thanks! That's what I was looking for but didn't know how to even phrase it on google. Accidentally firing a gun happened only once or twice but the Alt locking was really a pain in the ass and always forced me to disconnect and rejoin.
