It's current steam issue on several games. I can confirm this in DayZ and CS:S. But in other games, like CS:GO - work's good. Untill valve fix it you can fix it that way:
Go to c:\program files(x86)\Common Files\Steam\

Close steam, rename "SteamService.exe" to e.g. SteamService_.exe and launch steam. Now DayZ would not crash. But to play e.g. CS:GO you need rename it back and relaunch steam because without it you couldn't connect to official servers

Thanks a lot! Will try now.

edit: tried. what happens when i rename steamservice.exe, is that steam makes a new steamservice.exe everytime i start it, so it doesnt help and it still crashes.

Hi and sorry to hear about your trouble.
Please attach the contents of your C:\Users\<Name>\AppData\Local\DayZ\ folder to this ticket in a .rar.
Also, please try:

  • reinstalling the game
  • reinstalling your video drivers
  • launching both Steam and the game as Administrator.

Regards,
Andy
