What happened?

Hi,

Was running through the woods in the area shown in the screenshot from iZurvive.

I crashed to desktop 3 times within 45 mins. There was only 20-30 secs playtime when I logged in 3rd time.

I was just jogging, not contact with players, no fighting, no zeds, no animals that I know of. No cars, no motorbikes. Just ambient sounds and me jogging.

Looking at the logs there are a lot of sound issues and null pointer references.

Eventviewer says exception code c0000005 in DayZ_x64.exe. Status_access_violation.

I've attached logs from all three crashes.
Hope it's to any help.

Thanks for your efforts!
Best regards,
Andee

Reproduction steps

No steps.

I was just running north to south in the marked area holding an empty Longhorn, looking around.

    Logged on again today, 12hrs later. Population is 17/60. My PC is cool, normal temps, graphics card is a new Asus RTX 5080 Astral. I logged in, and I got 10 secs again in game and crashed to desktop. I have added a screenshot where I am on the map. I'm in the tree lines marked with dots. I made two marks, I really don't know which tree line I'm currently at. It's a lot of mentions of a pond near severograd in the logs. I'm just east to severograd south of the rail road. Added logs files. Let me know if I should stop adding. xD

    I did that, see screenshot.
    This time it crashed my computer to full reboot in 10-15secs.
    I added the logs to the ticket.

    Logged in again, now I could stay on for a couple of minutes and I logged out as normal.
    I moved a little bit away from the area I got all the crashes in. I'm now maybe 300m away from there.
    I added logs for this session as well.

    Logs from timestamp "15-25" is from this session which didn't crash. There was a very loud gunshot very close to me, which wasn't me shooting, I didn't engange with any other player. Went to the pond and logged out.

    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

    Hello.
    It seems like there are no .mdmp files attached.
    Please attach any .mdmp files that are relevant to the date of the crash and upload them to the ticket. Without the .mdmp files we are unable to analyse the cause of the crash

    I'll try to recreate the situation. I'm not comfortable sending those files as they contain personal data.

    We will still require these files. You can always use the private attachment section or ask us to private this ticket if it is a problem.

    I have shifted back to extreme settings on the graphics and been running around in the area for 20 mins without any issues.
    At the time (during the same hours) of crashing I was also doing some personal banking, reviewing stocks and funds, having it running logged in in background. I rather not send those files. I understand the files are necessary for commencing troubleshooting. Apologize for the time spent if the ticket needs to close here. I'll keep it in mind if it happens again.
