Constant freezing/crashing
Post 1.21 my game freezes and stops responding every 2 minutes like clockwork, for 10 seconds again like clockwork. The game freezes and tries to crash. Doesn't matter if im playing offical/community mods or no mods. Also does the same when i try to disconnect. just wondering if anybody else is having this issue. ive done everything, drivers, verified files, uninstalled game and all mods and reinstalled, nothing fixes it.

i forget my psu but its definitely overkill. my pc isnt the problem, game was fine until the update, and has been fine for like 3 years.

yeah its annoying man, just wanna play the game but its almost impossible, only thing that fixes it is updating drivers, but even then the freezes are just shorter.

I also had the same problems since last patch and some before,but what i did was to run steam admin mode also Dayz launcher. I discover a sequence that works for me,may work for you all.i am rnning on a laptop min memory and can play by doing this sequence load.assuming the PC version U.I.is the same as the rest.After steam loads the first play UI do this !: unload all your mods you may even want to replace them keep them unloaded except the server you play in stays loaded.That was step one with the mods.Pres the big red play button let the next UI load.After it loads look for change server press that tab and choose the server you have the mods loaded for then press join.sould load.also suggested is validate the game file from steam dayz properties.also i do not run a vpn or any backgound programs like cleaners and things that can be updating steeling resources that are not needed for playing dayz.

and remember to always delete your DayZ folders under documents after an update so that the game can detect optimal settings at next start.

i reinstalled it on multiple drives. its nothing anyone can help me with , just seeing if anyone else was having problems. worked perfect before the patch . hopefully it gets fixed with a hotfix or the next patch
a lot of people ♥♥♥♥♥ about dayz , been that way since it started . i understand people right away thinking im being malicious or me automatically thinking "its gotta be bohemia "
it couldnt be further from the truth

For all who are curious i fixed the issue. Documents > DayZ > open chars file > delete everything in it > save > select properties and set to read only. all freezing is gone.
