I can confirm this. Exactly the same issue.

I also noticed random crashes during playing after the patch.

Hi,

The game still crashes when changing servers. My current version: 0.46.124490. Dump files: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lsookv4ywxip63t/DayZ_crash_when_changing_server_2.zip
This time it crashed when the "Receiving..." message appeared in the corner of the screen.

BTW I had two more crashes tonight, one after switching to desktop, and another when exiting the game.
Should I create a separate tickets for each crash or make a general one and upload files there?

Hi,

this issue should be fixed in the next game update. Please wait for the update to come out and then confirm whether or not you are able to reproduce the problem.

Thanks!
