I have command line arguments added to the launcher. I will test with the command line args removed after filling this report and update if necessary. These launch options, within Steam, have had no ill-effect on the game to date.
The command running at launch are as follows:
-noSplash -cpuCount=4 -exThread=7 -noPause -world=ChernarusPlus
The Game .exe is also running in WinXp compatibility mode. Again, I will revert to normal, retest and report if there is a noticeable change.
Additionally, here is a crashdump with the exception code, exception offset and faulting proc id.
