DayZ Compile Error When Launched
New, NormalPublic

Description

Whenever I try to launch the game, I get an engine compile error. I have the game on a separate drive from my OS. I have tried installing the game on the same drive as the OS and that allowed the game to launch. However, the SSD that has my OS is only 60 Gb, so space is very limited and I had to move the game back to the other drive. Once that happened, the errors started happening again. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times. My hardware is all very recent (1070ti), so I know it's not a directx issue. Is it something I'm doing wrong, or does the game only run if it's installed in the same location as the OS?

@tbt3399 Hi. The game can be on any of the PC drives. This is not the cause of the error.
Your report says this error:

Exit code: 0xC0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION

See this guide and follow the steps to fix this error https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Unusual_process_exit#0xC0000005_-_ACCESS_VIOLATION .

@Lex I did everything in that guide and it didn't fix it. Still get an engine compile error every time. It says bad_module_info.

Well, I fixed it and can run the game now. Guess what? My solution worked, so I don't see how you can say I was wrong. I ended up cloning my boot drive to a second, spare SSD, then creating another partition on said second drive. I uninstalled DayZ from the original HDD that was separate from the OS drive and reinstalled it on the new SSD, which has a copy of my Windows boot drive on it. The game magically works now. So until you can offer up a different reason as to why it didn't work before, I'm going with my reasoning. I did follow all your directions before attempting my solution. Make what you want of that. Thanks for the help, though.
