Crash on startup on when enabling anti-aliasing
Reviewed, NormalPublic

Description

With settings turned down DayZ runs okay. If I enable AA in-game it'll often crash while running, and almost always when starting up. Disabling AA makes the game run reliably. This was never an issue before. Also the game performance is very poor on the RTX 4080. I believe there is some greater problem here.

Turn up AA to Medium/High, usually crashes while in game. If not, exit game, restart, and it will hang while loading into the map.

Additional Information

Game performance seems to be poor in this version.
I reinstalled Windows 11 clean, but it does not make a difference.

Hello JaySuave.
The crash points towards nvppex.dll which is a part of the nvidia drivers. Please make sure to do a clean installation of your drivers and run sfc/scannow to make sure there are no corrupted files/installations on your system.
You could also try to disable HWAA to see if that has any effect.

Hi Geez,

Yep as stated in the ticket, I already did a complete reinstall of windows and then nvidia drivers, it did not make a difference.
yes disabling HWAA prevents the issue.
Played this game for many years, never had this issue before, even on this hardware setup.

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know that I am experiencing the same issue with 4080 Super. Dayz does not start (crashes, or in better words, freezes, in the loading screen before connecting to any server) if HWAA is enabled. If let disabled game starts and runs. I reinstalled my Windows 10 (19045) and no effect. With my old 1660ti card HWAA worked at least when I played a week ago.

If the HWAA is enabled in-game the game does not crash (at least immediately), didn't test anything else but the aforementioned issue appears when the game is restarted.

Edit: If the application is forced to close after the crash 0x0000001 UNABLE-TO-INIT-DXGI error code is shown. I have latest drivers etc and DXIDIAG gives no errors.
