DayZ says its running but does not open

[Saucin]

I just got a new PC and I definitely have the specs to run this game. When I try to launch the game in steam it just says its running but the game itself doesn't open. When I try the DZSA launcher I click on the server I am trying to join, a battle-eye pop up shows every time to make changes, I hit yes and it still does not open, but if I go back into to steam it says the game is running. I have tried reinstalling the game, verifying my files, restarting my computer and many other things and nothing has worked. If anyone knows a fix I would appreciate the help because I am completely out of ideas. PS. All my other steam games work just fine, only having this problem with dayz.

Windows 11?

If you don't mind explaining, what is it you were going to suggest if the original poster was on Windows 11?

there is an issue related to some incompatibilities between Battleye and some new security features of Win 11 which might prevent the game from starting.

Windows 11 will be in beta for a couple more years, stick with the slightly less trashy win10 for now.

I don't really blame Microsoft for this, kernel-mode hardware-enforced stack protection is a perfectly reasonable security layer. Battleye has been getting away with having kernel access for too long, it's excessive and a huge security risk.

The onus is on Battleye to work with Microsoft to engineer a better solution to this problem.

This is the way.

Sorry for the late response, but yes I got windows 11. Im still unsure what the problem was but since it was a new PC, I just hard reset it and it worked fine after that

I have a new PC running Win 11, mine does it occasionally not all the time.

I'm using windows 10 and since the last DayZ update i cant get the game to work either. i have used dzsa launcher and the regular launcher and the screen will go either black as if it is attempting to load into the game or as OP says the game is running on steam but no gameplay is going on.
