Graphics drivers crashing at random only when playing DayZ
Need More Info, WishlistPublic

Description

I'm getting a crash at random while playing DayZ. The Nvidia drivers will crash and reboot. I'm able to do the flush command, but it makes all the text in the menus disappear, so a full game restart is usually needed.

I have noticed that the drivers crash mostly when I alt-look behind myself, or turn really quickly. I suspect this is possibly overloading the cards memory or something to that affect when it renders the scene behind you.

My graphics card is a EVGA 560 Ti 1GB. I've done some research through the forums and found several threads where a lot of other people reported driver crashes with Nvidia cards, a lot of them being the 560 Ti. I'm wondering if most of the cards were 1GB of memory, and if that's the issue here.

Threads where other people reported this issue:

I'm including some crash dumps as well, hopefully someone can take a look at them and maybe narrow the issue down a bit.

Hi,

you apparently send us the files from your documents folder. This folder unfortunately doesn´t include the files we need.
You need to send files from : "C:\Users\<Name>\AppData\Local\DayZ\"

To get to this folder you need to enable hidden files in your computer.

Once you send these files we will be able to help you.

Thanks.

Do you need the whole folder or just a few of the files?

Ok, I uploaded the folder, and also my dxdiag file. Not sure if you need that, just covering the bases.

I'm still having this crash issue.

Hey

I am sorry but this issue is expired. If you are still encountering these issues, please delete the DayZ folder from the AppData folder and try to reproduce the bug on the new version of the game. Attach the new .rar if possible.

Thank You.
