black screen and crashing on startup
Need More Info, NormalPublic

Description

i've bought DayZ today and even if i tried all the tutorials, still kept on black screen and crashing, only entering the game when i not use BattleEye, but even then i can't play on servers because of the anti-cheat kicking me out. And also keeps doing this error when i press alt+f4: 0x00000001- UNABLE-TO-INIT-DXGI

Hello Single_360,
Can you please upload a .mdmp file from the occurrence in addition to the .RPT file you have uploaded?

Thanks for answer, Geez.
Sorry if i sound a litte dumb, but where is this .mdmp file located? Is it in the logs folder too?

It is in the appdata folder where the other files such as .RPT are found

Tried to search in the paste but didn't found it

EDIT: After doing a hell of updating my Drivers, it partially fixed. But now that DayZ updated, it is giving STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION error.
Here's the logs now:

I believe those errors is happening because of the new Upd, and the servers might hasn't been updated yet.

This seems to be caused by you using -bulldozer parameter.
Removing it from launcher/steam should stop this particular crash
