Hello happy6577.
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

I have tried your suggestions and when i enable bulldozer mode and launch the game it crashes about an inch into the loading bar with the same error as before. When i launch it without bulldozer mode the game loads for longer than usual, but crashes with the error of (the error file i put below).

Unfortunately the dump you have provided is with Bulldozer enabled. We would need the crash dump file from the case when the Bulldozer was not enabled.

Thank you for seeing my mistake here is the crash dump after enabling bulldozer and waiting for the game to crash. Then making sure there are no parameters and launching agian.

Once again it has Bulldozer parameter on, please make sure its unchecked here

Thats quite strange because the box was definitely unchecked and I double checked before launching. But anyway here is a dump after having restarted my computer and making sure there are no parameters checked

Unfortunately still the same dumps as before. Is it possible that the game is not crashing after turning off the bulldozer parameter, but just freezes? As that will not create proper report log.
Also does experimental work for you?

Experimental does work. And about the freezing if i dont close the game when windows tells me the program isnt responding my pc bule screens after 30 seconds.

Can you try to copy the contents of your DayZ Exp documents folder into your DayZ folder and let us know what does that do for the issue?

I have no idea why this worked because I have done it 2 times already but i was able to load into a official server with no problems.
