Occasionally, after an undetermined amount of time, once the game is "exited" to return to the launch screen, the game will close to desktop, with a windows error. This error and crash only occurs once the game has been opened for a while. Further testing is required to either elliviate the issue or reproduce more consistently.
Typically, after playing more than hour, this error will occur when exiting the server to go to the launch screen.
I have tried to reproduce this. This crash only occurs after playing for a little while AND upon exiting a server. I have not crashed while connected to a server. The game will not go to the Character/Server select screen, it just dumps to the desktop.
The game will start up fine again, without any issues.
I have tried launching the game, joining a server and exiting the server right away to reproduce the result, but the game will exit to the lobby just fine, without error. This crash only occurs after playing for a while and deciding to manually exit the server normally.
It's just your standard Windows Popup error "This application has unexpectedly closed", name of application, click ok, etc.
I have command line arguments added to the launcher. I will test with the command line args removed after filling this report and update if necessary. These launch options, within Steam, have had no ill-effect on the game to date.
The command running at launch are as follows:
-noSplash -cpuCount=4 -exThread=7 -noPause -world=ChernarusPlus
The Game .exe is also running in WinXp compatibility mode. Again, I will revert to normal, retest and report if there is a noticeable change.
Additionally, here is a crashdump with the exception code, exception offset and faulting proc id.

Although this is most likely a DayZ.exe faulting module, executable/memory dump problem, I have included as much information possible related to the Video card and other components for reference purposes. These screenshots and information will most likely not be needed, however, they are available if needed.
Aditional Crash, this time it was not Dayz.exe or the nt.dll, which has been common as well.
I have had several of these crashes on game closing, and there is only one entry that raises suspicion; BEClient.dll
It appears as though the BattlEye client is faulting on close. Several other people have reported BE issues, so the .dll might be worth investigating.
Here's the Summary of the event ID.
