The BattleEye client update via Steam yesterday is preventing me from launching DayZ. I have played this game for over 300 hours, including 2 hours yesterday morning. When I came home from work, the BattleEye client update was downloaded & when I attempted to launch DayZ it promptly crashed before even reaching the Bohemia logo. Something about the BattleEye client update screwed up DayZ not only for myself but for literally hundreds of other people based on what I've see on various forums. The error message I receive is as follows: :DayZ:DayZ.exe- Application Error....The instruction at 0x00d1b2e2 referenced memory at 0x0000000. The memory could not be read....Click ok to terminate the program.

Yesterday, I was able to start DayZ (after the BattlEye update) from the launch folder using DayZ.exe. I was able to get to the server list & was able to start to get into a server but then because BattlEye needed to be loaded the game promptly crashed.

I have been in contact with BattleEye & hopefully some of the info sent back to them when I attempted to load DayZ this morning will be of use.
