[Launch Error] Enfusion Engine Issue/Running in background only
The title pretty much explains it, but I will try to add as much info as I can.

I was able to play x64 last night with my buddies. Then all a sudden, my game froze up when I was hopping back on after a short break. After this I have been unable to play. Whenver I do start it up, Steam says I am playing it, and it will run, but only in the background. I get no message that my Enfusion Engine is running, so I believe this is the issue, but I have no clue how to fix it.

Spes:
Windows 10 pro
Processor: Intel i-74790K x64
CPU: 4.00GHz
RAM: 32.0 GB
GPU: R9 200 Series AMD


I have tried:
Verifying my files 6 times
Restarting my PC 10+ times
Updating and Unistalling and Reinstalling my Drivers
Swapping to Exp then back (booting it up both times with no luck)
Uninstalling and reinstalling DayZ
Adjusting the start up parameters (-window, -nosplah, ect.)

Please, I am hoping so much that is just some stupid mistake I've over looked. Please help. If there is any more info needed, please feel free to ask.

1st remove any startup parameters as they dont do anything anymore.

If you go to task manager are there any Dayz or steam processes you can stop?

try ending all steam processes and start steam as admin.

you could also try changing thh dayz and dayz64 exes to run as admin.

Everytime I go into task manager after running DayZ through steam, it shows up, but only in the background.

so try changing steam and both dayz.exe files to run as admin. Might help, might not

and remove all startup parameters

So my PC crashed after I was in a call on Facebook... It was the same situation when my DayZ stopped working, so I believe it could be the problem starter.
My screen froze, and I couldn't use the cursor. I heard what almost sounded like a dial-up...
But I'm gonna try the running as admin tomorrow morning.

Thanks again for the help/support. I'm not giving up.

Tried again today and got an error message! I'm considering this as progress http://puu.sh/tH7ro/af98ee528b.png

if you have the latest AMD drivers, it may have put plays.tv on, disable plays.tv or uninstall it.... caused my ARMA3 to crash with similar error!!

I've double checked in control panel to make sure it was uninstalled. Which it is, this doesn't seem to be the issue.

I know it says memory error, but is your disk drive very full? Like no free space? This can cause issues running games, especially on the windows drive.

I thought this might cause the problem too, so I started clearing up some space. I don't think I need more? http://puu.sh/tH8Lh/061b45e706.png

nah as long as you have 10% should be fine

How much ram do you have? Try pulling it out and reseating......probably wont help but its easy and its fixed things for me b4

Maybe play with your pagefile. bigger/smaller.....im running out of ideas

do you have any startup parameters for DayZ? remove them all if you do.

All of them have been erased once you told me to. I will try reseating my ram. How would I go about adjusting my pagefiles?

go to control panel in windows......then system......advanced system settings

select advanced tab and then performance.

in the advanced tab again click change next to virtual memory.

Then you can put it at a manual setting or system managed...which is probably what its on.

I adjusted it for best performance and DayZ still would only run in the background. It ran BE as x32 also... I took a screenshot because an application was seeminginly taking up all the Disk Space? http://puu.sh/tHafO/70878e6d6e.png
