Description

Status Access violation

My game crashes randomly and I get the above error code. This has been happening for a week now. It can happen after 5 minutes or if I`m lucky I`ll get an hour.

I have searched the internet for a fix and I have tried just about every suggestion I could find.

All drivers are up to date, I have uninstalled the game and reinstalled, I have verified the game files in Steam, I have disabled all overlays, I have tested my memory, I have uninstalled almost all other games to free up space, I have uninstalled the Nvidia app, I have set all game files to run as administrator, I run Steam as administrator and I have disabled steam cloud for DayZ.

Hello.
The crash dump points towards nvppex.dll file, indicating a problem with your GPU drivers. Please do a clean installation and check your OS for any corrupted installations/files. Also make sure your system is up to date.
Disabling HWAA in the game might resolve the issue but the root cause is somewhere on your system.
There is also a chance that if you are running Nvidia app instead of Ge-force experience that that is the cause of the problem.
Regards,
Geez

I have done a clean install of the GPU drivers and checked the OS again (SFC /SCANNOW), no faults found. As I said in my original post, I have already uninstalled the Nvidia app.

The game crashed with the error "stack overflow".

The only thing we can suggest at the moment is verification.
Make sure Steam cloud sync is disabled before doing so.
