Also getting memory errors, however i have 16GB Ram and its not getting peaked.

Unable to upload -dologs due to size even when compressed its 5180KB. Please advise..

This needs a fix as many people are suffering this issue, I am fine with other issues and appreciate it is an alpha but these crashes are something else.

Update, been doing some troubleshooting myself.

Looks like DayZ is over-committing memory, it's hitting the DayZ hard limit of 2048MB and then leaking slowly.

If you set the steam launch option:

-maxMem=2047

You stop the game from hitting the DayZ limit and thus the process does not leak the memory.

Been running stable for 2 hours+ now.

My character also reseted after Dayz crashed (not every time but twice).
