Starting on 2025-03-02, DayZ has been failing to launch for me. It was working fine on 2025-03-01. I'm not aware of any changes being made to my computer between those times.
When I launch DayZ using the "Play without mods" option in the launcher, the game starts to load but when the loading progress bar gets to about 30% of the way across, the game abruptly closes. There is no crash reported. There are no MDMP files in my `%LOCALAPPDATA%\DayZ` folder. I do have an RPT file, an `error.log`, and a `script_*.log` file: {F5001721}
If I uncheck the "Enable BattlEye anti-cheat software" setting and click "Play without mods", the game launches successfully and I am able to reach the main menu screen. Of course, this is not a workable solution since most servers require BattlEye in order to connect.
