Steps To Reproduce

I found a white chemlight so I broke it being as I was alone on the server I could freely mess around, 30-45 seconds later the client crashed, and when I reloaded the game crashed again as I was about to appear in game, "all attempts under 32bit" the next time I logged in without a crash, but I had to option to break/use the chemlight as it wasn't lit anymore, seconds later I received "I'm burning" so I threw the light, I picked up the light again and after another 45 seconds I recived "My face is melting" so I threw the light again, and began to leave, I then received both messages repeatedly and rapidly, so I relogged. I left, rolled in a creek, and appear to be fine now.

My wolf steaks were already cooked, so no I didn't try cooking.

Hello Av and thank you for the report.
Please attach the contents of your C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\DayZ to this ticket so we can take a look at the crash dumps. As for the face is melting message, can you try removing your ghillie suit the next time it occurs and let us know if that has made any difference?
Regards,
Geez

When the current update is completed I will try the chemlight with a freshspawn on a private server, and try to verify the ghillie though this is the only issue I've ran into during the week I've use it. Also .dump, or .bidmp? all or specifically from the 5th? I have a small collection as leaving a server, and moving to another causes a crash, also reloging "to fix desync" causes a crash under 32, and 64 bit for everyone I play with.

Ok, never mind, after this latest patch I cannot reach cherno from electro without crashing, sometimes less than 20m, sometimes I get 80% of the way, every session ended from a crash. on a side note I found a complete map of chernarus a few days ago, and it wasn't functional for me or my friend.

Hello Av.
When the crash occurs, is there any error message displayed? And can you provide us with more crash dumps if the issue keeps occurring?
Regards,
Geez

1 error is a freeze that does not trigger error messages, it will wait indefinitely, moving to desktop then back to the game will show it has become unresponsive with a loading cursor but also waits indefinitely, the other crashes gave logs but I have one log for each 32, and 64 bit after between 12-20 crashes. The rpt looks to terminate without a crash, though the game did crash, every session ended with a crash. I will return with more crash dumps.
