After resetting BIOS, fault did not occur. Will update again if fault re-occurs.

Fault persists, even after re-seating RAM modules.

Hello WIHB4 and thank you for the report.
Once the crash appears again during the gameplay, can you please send us the contents of your C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\DayZ? In case the files cannot be uploaded here due to their size, upload them to some kind of cloud site from which we can easily download the files.
Regards,
Geez

I will be more than happy to follow the instructions given, however you stated "during the gameplay", this error no longer occurs during gameplay since updating Nvidia drivers and re-seating my RAM modules.
The error ALWAYS occurs when exiting the game. If you would still like me to follow the instruction previously given, please reply here.

Hello WIHB4.
We are aware of the crash that occurs upon exiting the game and it is scheduled for a fix. I am going to keep this ticket for now, please let us know in case the other gameplay related crash has appeared again.
Regards,
Geez

1st time error hasn't happened; possible solution (or work around) is to leave server, leave game running for more than 5 minutes before exiting game, and crash doesn't occur.
Would I be correct in assuming this is a character save/hive sync issue?
