Game Crashes on Startup
Reviewed, NormalPublic

Description

Every time I try to open DayZ, the game crashes before getting in the server, most times it gets stuck on the loading screen. I have attempted several troubleshooting steps, including verifying the game files through Steam, completely redownloading the game, and ensuring all my drivers (GPU, etc.) are fully up-to-date. Despite these efforts, the issue persists. I am unable to play the game at all. Please let me know if there are additional steps I can take to resolve this or if this is a known issue.

Hello Colin1234.
Unfortunately the crash dumps you have provided do not seem to be matching with what you are describing (the crash dumps refer to the game simply crashing on exit).
The only suggestion we could provide is to delete your DayZ documents folder (make sure Steam cloud sync is disabled before doing so), delete all the mods and verify game data through Steam. Then, launch the game without mods.
Regards,
Geez
