Black screen receiving

[Terror (DayZ) 4]

I just downloaded Dayz and its for a steam copy of CO. I am able to play fine for about 5-10 mins but then my game goes to a black screen that just says receiving. It never comes out of the screen no matter how long i wait and the only thing i can do is ctrl alt delete to exit. I have tried reinstalling the dayz files multiple times but it keeps happening.

---

Does no1 know anything about this? i would really like to be able to play.

I have this kind of a problem, but my PC just crashes completely and "monitor goes to sleep" and I have to force shut down my PC. I think it might be for the same reason. Unfortunately I have been trying to fix this problem for 4 WEEKS! And I am out of ideas!

BTW: Try the game with the lowest graphics and tell if it delays this problem. Because I can sometimes play long time with lowest graphics but really its stupid because I have high end PC I don't have FPS problems with very high options. This problem is just so frustrating and I have tried almost everything.

Bump.

Anyone know any solution to this?

Have you guys tried different servers? By different, I mean from around the world? Try servers from different countries and time zones and see how that treats you. That sounds like a connectivity issue between you and the remote host.

Also check your firewall / antivirus - make sure that the exe's and file for this game are not restricted in any sense or form. Maybe even temporarily disable them to see if that is the issue.

I have the same problem, but I don't have the "receiving black screen". My notebook just crashes on a blue screen and restarts.

Just happened to me as well. I was crawling over the road, past some Z's, and I got the black screen. Somehow the Z's saw me and I died and lost all my gear :rolleyes: I had to ctrl/alt/del to exit game.

Getting this too (Black receiving in middle of game) I have now done a complete reinstall and manually deleted all files inc stuff in my docs..

...No joy continues no matter what video options I use making the game unplayable for me as can never tell exactly when its going to happen.

Update and fix would make me a happy survivor.
