What happened?

Couldn't start a game from both Launcher and Steam. If I choose "Play DayZ" after clicking on "Play" the game crushing after nearly 50% progress loading, if I choose "Run DayZ Client" it crushes after I try to play DayZ from it but getting a "DayZ had exited in unusual manner" window with "Exit Code: 0x80000101"

Reproduction steps
  1. Buy and Download DayZ from Steam on Linux

  2. Click on "Play" in Steam Library

  3. Choose "Play DayZ" or "Run DayZ Client"

  4. If I choose "Run DayZ Client" it just crushes. If I choose "Play DayZ" step 5

  5. Click on "Play" in DayZ Launcher

  6. Getting an error message after loading screen (nearly 50% loading progress)

Exact build version (optional)

    Hello.
    Linux client is not officially supported - nothing we can do to help.
