"My system has 8 GB of RAM and I had a swapfile of 1.0 GB in total. After increasing it to a - non-reasonable value - of 8 GB, DayZ does not crash anymore.
I believe it's a bug that DayZ, which is still a 32 Bit application, can somehow gather more than 4 GB of Ram from the system.
To circumvent, just temporarily increase your systems swap file so that you have at least 9 or 10 GB of (virtual) RAM."
It has to be the well known memory problem you experienced. Try this, it is a nice workaround, which absolutely worked (for me at least):

Had the same Problem. This advice worked just fine for me:

Same here. After joining any server, game crashes after 5 Minutes maximum. I don't use any start-parameters. Previous versions worked fine in that regard. I use Windows 8.1 64 bit.

This workaround helped me a lot and the problem you reported here never came back after one hour of playing.

I increased my swap file to 12GB. I have 8GB RAM by the way.

Try this workaround. Before this, my game crashed after being 5 minutes on a server (maximum). With this workaround the crashes never came back.

Happened to me too. On logout my char was only cold, but after logon I instantly had hypothermia with status red.
I had the same Problem after a server change. I was not able to open any doors or anything that requires the open/close symbol to function. On another server at first open/close worked, but than I lost the ability somehow to open/close stuff.
