Started DayZ without mods and got a crash after sometime. Black screen, checked the task manager and saw that it allocates memory (up to 64gb) and crashes with UNABLE_TO_INIT_DXGI.
I should say that yesterday (22.11.2021), I played without any issues.

Problem started after this Windows 11 update November 22, 2021—KB5007262 (OS Build 22000.348) Preview.
Before that, this update November 9, 2021—KB5007215 (OS Build 22000.318) DayZ worked correctly.

Hello andreyshafar.
Please try the following:
Verify the game data through Steam and delete the configuration files when prompted to do so (make sure Steam cloud sync is disabled for DayZ before doing this) - you can also delete the config files manually by clearing the C:\Users\*username*\Documents\DayZ folder
Open the DayZ launcher
Select PARAMETERS menu
Select ALL PARAMETERS tab
scroll down and check "Bulldozer" parameter
Launch the game
Once launched, close the game
Uncheck bulldozer
Launch the game again without any parameters
Regards,
Geez

Hello, yes i deleted DayZ folder in documents and reinstalled game, no luck with that.
Sorry, can't do the steps, i just downgraded from Windows 11 Insiders to Windows 10.

DayZ Experimental loads correcty, no crash and memory usage is only ~2 GB. What the heck?

перепробовал все известные фиксы данной проблемы (кроме переустановки ОС), которые смог найти на просторах интернета, помогла только одна. Удаление игры, перезагрузка пк, запуск стима от имени админа и повторная установка игры
