___________________

"Steam is not running"

The error "Steam is not running" is the game, and Steam is not talking correctly.

From Steam account settings

If that doesn't work, it could be a permissions error on your system.
  • Locate steam.exe on your computer.
  • Right-click Properties.
  • Compatibility tab.
  • Check "Run as administrator."
  • More information here.
___________________

Skalla.dll Error

The most common cause for the Skalla.dll missing Error is the system does not support AVX2
Unfortunately, if your system does not have AVX2, you do not meet the minimum specifications required to run GZW.


This will be linked to Windows updates or missing files if you do.
  • Complete all Windows updates.
  • Downloaded the latest Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable version
  • Install & Restart your system
___________________

GPU Crashes Troubleshooting
  • Ensure that all of your drivers are up to date.
  • There's a known crash issue due to the outdated AMD GPU Drivers. Install the latest AMD Graphics Drivers (May 4th)
  • Check you have at least 8GB of VRAM.
  • Check Windows updates for optional updates.
  • Freshly reinstall graphics drivers.
  • Change AA to performance and put A 30 Frame Rate Cap on.
  • Increase over time till the error comes back.

If you crash with FSR turned on - Turn off hardware acceleration.
  • Graphics: Right-click the desktop, go to "Display Settings" > "Graphics" > "Change default settings," then turn off "hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling."
  • Audio: Go to "Settings" > "System" > "Sound" > "More sound settings" > your audio device > "Properties" > "Advanced," and uncheck "Allow hardware acceleration."
  • If this doesn't work, turn off FSR and use DLSS.

Turn off all BIOS OC.
  • Turn OFF any OC profiles for CPU and GPU (and possibly RAM profiles). There is a known issue with Overclocking causing instability in Unreal Engine 5 games (including Gray Zone Warfare).

Out of Video memory popup (Nvidia crashed and had performance issues.)
  • Check your Drivers
  • NVIDIA Control Panel -> Manage 3D settings -> Global Settings -> Settings tabs -> Restore
  • Turn off Instant Replay and Overlay

AMD GPU crash
  • Install/Reinstall AMD Adrenalin

We sincerely hope this guide proved fruitful. We will keep everyone posted in regards to our first patch, server updates and more very soon.

Every Move Matters,

Enhance your GZW experience

Hello Everyone,

We are thrilled that so many of you have joined us in Lamang to operate in Gray Zone Warfare! It means the world to us! We are fully dedicated to providing you with as seamless an experience as possible, though please be aware that the game is still in early access development. We will continuously improve the game with each update, and the first one is already underway.

In the meantime, here is some guidance that might help with the most frequently mentioned issues.

9237a5cc6b5fc81b47b2054e313b28751c634255.png


GET THE BEST LATENCY
Before deployment, please select the region that best corresponds to your location.

LOWER THE WAITING QUEUE
Please just consider switching to a different region if you encounter long wait times in the queue. However, please keep in mind that this could result in higher latency. You might also consider choosing LRI (LAMANG RECOVERY INITIATIVE) as your faction since it is currently less populated. However, please be aware that once you select this faction, you must stick with it until the next game reset.

GET THE BEST PERFORMANCE
GPU (All manufactures)
Please install the latest drivers for your graphic card.

Nvidia: https://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx
AMD: https://www.amd.com/en/support/download/drivers.html
Intel: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download-center/home.html

NVidia Graphics Cards
Apart from the quality settings level, those are the best settings for smooth performance:
  • For older Graphic cards (30xx and lower) with lower performance, use FSR with Frame Generation On and Super Resolution Performance or Balanced (Options / Graphics / Anti-Aliasing - Upscaling Method)
  • For the NVidia RTX 40xx series cards, use DLSS setup for best performance (Options / Graphics / Anti-Aliasing - Upscaling Method - DLSS)
  • For the NVidia RTX 40xx series, use the Toggle on Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling at 'Windows Display Settings- after enabling/restarting the PC. The frame gen feature will be enabled in the game (Options / Graphics / DLSS Frame Generation)
AMD Graphics Cards
  • For AMD graphic cards, use FSR setup for best performance (Options / Graphics / Anti-Aliasing - Upscaling Method - FSR)
  • For boosting performance further, use Frame Generation On and Super Resolution on settings which provide the best balance performance/image quality (Options / Graphics / Fidelity FX Frame Generation + Fidelity FX Super Resolution)
Intel Graphics Cards
  • For Intel graphic cards, use XeSS setup for best performance (Options / Graphics / Anti-Aliasing - Upscaling Method - XeSS)
HOW TO "FIX" FRAMERATE STUTTERING
Frame rate stuttering may occur during initial gameplay, including short frame lags when visiting some locations for the first time. In rare cases, those using weaker GPUs may experience longer stutters. Please be patient and do not close the game; it will stabilize, and performance should improve.

Thanks for being with us.

Devlog #4: GZW World Exploration

Discover the Democratic Republic of Lamang. Inspired by the real-life beauty of Laos in Southeast Asia, this dangerous world offers endless exploration and mysteries to uncover. Lamang's vast world was meticulously crafted from thousands of detailed photos, capturing its varied terrain and structures. Immerse yourself in lush tropical jungles, countryside villages, and cultural richness. Learn more about its history and how it is brought to life by Skalla, a cutting-edge technology incorporating authentic natural behaviors derived from true-to-life data.

SURVIVE IN A FALLEN PARADISE
youtube_16x9_placeholder.gif



Each area boasts a distinct tone, and atmosphere. The stunning landscapes offer more than just scenic views; they serve as diverse tactical arenas. Utilize buildings for cover and concealment, strategically position yourself behind roadblocks, vehicles, and crates, and leverage natural foliage such as trees, bushes, and plants to remain unseen.

The geographically triangular layout ensures strategic balance among the three PMC factions, each operating from its Forward Operating Base (Base Camp). From there, plan your operations against the local hostile elements and approach all interactions with extreme caution, considering potential threats from rival factions. In tactical warfare, distinguishing friend from foe can be challenging. As you venture beyond your haven, you'll face increasingly formidable enemies and competing PMCs searching for valuable loot. At the heart of it all lies an enigmatic (and currently inaccessible) Ground Zero created by the mysterious Event. Rumors suggest that only the boldest will reach it one day…

6b2455f468b9ef945beec7aedbf5c6b8e016c157.jpg


LEARN ABOUT LAMANG’S GENESIS

b0bcd81ba4056d8a75bab31a5ef070c994a03fa2.gif


Lamang Island exudes an aura of genuine history and authenticity, enveloping you in its captivating environmental narrative. Every detail, from the intricate natural debris scattered throughout the jungle to the remnants of hasty evacuations and the scars of bandit assaults on dilapidated homes, adds to the island's tale of a tumultuous past. You will learn more about its history and struggle from details scattered throughout the country. Be it a flipped chair, a smashed photo, or an unmarked grave, you will understand the turmoil plaguing the region even before the Event.

ad29a49227e0d002b2e530b20289076e58d0ccf7.gif


Embark on a unique journey through your assigned tasks, whether retrieving vital intelligence or valuable items for the betterment of your PMC or your own moral compass - the choice is yours. Each quest item serves a purpose, enriching your experience with valuable insight. Every location you explore unveils a narrative steeped in the aftermath of preceding atrocities, whether it's a shooting range with a disturbing array of targets limited only by the visitors' wealth or the eerie origins of ghostly tales surrounding a nearby fishing village. Finding them might be challenging because intel is scarce and the enemy is paranoid, but if you look closely, you will discover clues that will aid you in achieving your goals.

EXPLORE A LIVING WORLD

youtube_16x9_placeholder.gif


Dive into the stunning environment of Lamang and soak in the vibrant atmosphere and vivid natural colors of Vang Vieng, our reference location. The dense Southeast Asian jungle setting necessitates immense foliage, a high level of detail, realistic lighting, and extreme distance visibility to truly transport you to this immersive environment. Dynamic lighting breathes life into each area, room, and item, highlighting the lush richness of Southeast Asian scenery.

Lamang Island is brought to life by Skalla, a cutting-edge technology for crafting detailed worlds and expansive landscapes in a fraction of the time, incorporating authentic natural behaviors derived from true-to-life data. Whether it’s a dense forest, vast rice fields, rugged mountain ranges, or the overall terrain, Skalla populates the lands with unparalleled accuracy, optimizing performance without sacrificing visual quality.

a6a2f41238d6e657bdb718c68ae21fec83f73ab0.gif


Every leaf and plant is meticulously simulated based on real-life data, including reference studies of how nature behaves in Laos and surrounding countries, ensuring a dynamic and immersive experience. Whether it's bending trees in response to a passing helicopter or the subtle movements of foliage in the breeze, Gray Zone Warfare pulsates with life, drawing you deeper into its world.
