My only other suggestion would be disabling Steam's Cloud Sync, deleting everything on Documents --> DayZ, and then seeing if the game starts with a completely new config file.

@Thomas2000 The only thing that helped me was disabling hardware anti-aliasing/MSAA.

Having looked into this, it seems to be something to do with how DayZ's engine calls the dll - I stand by my statement that the implementation of HWAA is broken on some setups as of 1.24.

@Geez, this only started occurring when 1.24 released. I've reinstalled my drivers AND Windows - the issue persists.

@Geez There are a few, yes - not one for every crash, but one for every third or fourth.

@Geez They don't, but based on the hours I spent troubleshooting this, I'm absolutely certain my issue, at least, is related to HWAA. For the others, I'm not certain, but the timing of them seems all too coincidental for it not to be something similar.

@Geez GPU drivers are up to date; I'm on 551.76 as of yesterday, same issue as when I was on 551.61. It used to (i.e. prior to DayZ 1.24) run fine with no issue on 546.33 and now doesn't. Looking at all the recent bug reports, this is down to something BIS have changed recently.

@Geez I understand that, but that's not how debugging an issue or fixing a bug works.

@Geez Are you able to take a look at this please? Many thanks

@Mali_Yuda Can you add a line at the bottom please?

@Mali_Yuda Go to Documents --> DayZ --> open DayZ.cfg in Notepad. One of the lines should be "MSAA=" with a number after it - what is that number?

@Geez Tagging you in this as there are numerous reports of the same issue. The only thing I can narrow it down to is having HWAA enabled.

Do you have hardware antialiasing enabled in your settings?

Do you have hardware antialiasing enabled in your settings?

Do you have hardware antialiasing enabled in your settings?

@STF_85 Does this continue happening if you disable hardware antialiasing?

@bomberdomme Does this continue happening if you disable hardware antialiasing?

@2BoCoo Does this continue happening if you disable hardware antialiasing?

@StxticOperxtor Does this continue happening if you disable hardware antialiasing?

This is also happening on DayZ at the moment. Do you run into the same issue if you disable hardware antialiasing?

Hi Geez,

I'm running into a similar issue here. Does the game run without crashing if you keep hardware antialiasing disabled? You can do this by navigating to Documents/DayZ/DayZ.cfg and setting MSAA to 0.

@bakersmb Did you ever get this fixed? I'm encountering the same issue.
