After about 10 or 15 minutes of gameplay DayZ crashes along with Steam. I have verified integrity, reinstalled the game. Installed the game to my SSD, lowered textures. Windowed mode was enabled. I am running it in Administrator mode and in W7 compatibility, which made the game go from crashing to desktop to just freezing and then I just have to end the process in task manager.
It happens regardless of where I am, I can be running through a field and it'll crash. Same with a forest or a city like berezino. I have been sitting in a building just west of Berezino (just testing to see if I keep crashing) and I always crash after about 15 minutes.
