DayZ Total Game Crash after a few minutes of playing.
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Lately, I have been trying out DayZ experimental 0.50.
Without fail, every time I get on to play, I manage to get a maximum of 10-20 minutes of play time, before the game freezes for a few seconds, and then crashes to the desktop.
This has not happened before this past week. I have never before experience crashes in either experimental or stable (NOTE: I have not tried Stable recently, so I cannot say whether this crash occurs on stable as well. If you would like, I can go onto stable and test that out too).

Around the same time the crashes began I updated my Nvidia driver to version 340.42. I am wondering whether this is what is causing the crashes.
Regardless, it is very annoying when I am just getting into a playing session, only for the game to crash to desktop. It happens every time, without fail.

Hi Timmy,
thank you for your report - the issues seems to be one that many others have been encountering in the latest versions. I have forwarded the data for investigation and we will be looking into the issue.
Regards,
Andy

Thank you for your response and acknowledgement of the issue.
I trust that you and the other wizards over at Bohemia will figure it out :)
If you could perhaps update this post once the issue has been identified/resolved, that would be great. If not, I'll settle for just a patch, haha.

Have a great day, and I look forward to playing DayZ again very soon!

Hi TimmyNoThumbz.
This crash is the same as #17972.
We have been investigating this very thoroughly, but the issue has proven quite tricky.
Please be patient,
Andy
