DayZ causes Chrome to crash
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

For some reason, Chrome does not coexist with DayZ. When I try to run Chrome while DayZ is running, the program crashes, sometimes normally and sometimes it glitches out before disappearing. I have had this problem for a really long time, and I always chalked it up to not enough ram, or perhaps faulty ram. However, I've recently tested it on my friend's rig and he has no problems running both at once using my ramstick.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Open DayZ
  2. Open Chrome
  3. Watch as Chrome crashes immediately
Additional Information

Curiously, chrome will run during the 'receiving screen' that is detailed in this report (http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=17376) but will crash or glitch out horribly once the game is back. If it does not crash, DayZ crashes shortly after, although none of my resources appear to be maxed out.

Here's my computer specs:

i5 4670K
Radeon HD 6970 2GB
8 GB DDR3 RAM

Nothing is overclocked.

Hi,

Sorry to hear about your trouble. To begin with, please launch Chrome and enter "chrome://conflicts" in the address field. Is there any software that shows up on the list as being in conflict with Chrome?

Regards,
JStewart

Sorry for the delay, I didn't notice you had responded. There are no conflicts listed on the page. Thank you for taking the time to help me out here, by the way.

I've tried to leave Chrome running while playing DayZ for the past week or so, but I have had no luck reproducing the issue. In this case I would recommend that you file a crash report for Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/96817?hl=en
