I have a similar issue, i guess, but i figured out a bit more of the specifics. So, i would launch experimental, spawn as freshspawn and as long as i run around in low ground looting the starter towns etc. its fine, but as soon as i am able to see far out, like as soon as i climb a hill or anything elevated and look into the distance the game freezes and crashes to desktop and there is no crash report or error message. And then when i try to go back into the game its a trap - since i'm already looking out into the distance when the game loads it instantly freezes and then crashes to desktop. But when i log into another one of my steam accounts with DayZ and spawn somewhere low i can run around and loot for hours, indefinitely. But as soon as i climb a hill the game freezes and crashes and now i am trapped, at least for this server, as when i join back the game instantly freezes and crashes as i'm looking at a distance. If i join a different server where my character isnt looking at a distance then i can play, but only until i climb a hill or something like that. My system is Windows 10, i7 6700k, gtx980ti, 32gb of ddr4 ram and a ssd. I have not yet tried everything you listed that helped you, but i will try it next time i have the time. EDIT: I also have the 0.01 0.00 version mismatch bug
