Bug Report: Crash after latest update – STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xC0000005)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

After installing the latest update, DayZ started crashing with error code 0xC0000005 – STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION. Before the update, the game worked perfectly without any issues. The crash occurs during game launch or shortly after entering gameplay. I've disabled all mods, run the game as an administrator, verified game files through Steam, and updated all drivers, but the issue persists.

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.
