What happened?

When NVIDIA Game Filters are disabled, DayZ launches normally and I can enter the game. However, when NVIDIA Game Filters are enabled, DayZ crashes during startup and does not enter the game.

I tested this multiple times and the problem is reproducible. I also tried disabling Hardware Anti-Aliasing (HWAA) and using Fullscreen mode, but the crash still occurs.

The issue appears to be specifically related to NVIDIA Game Filters, as the game works normally when they are disabled.

Reproduction steps
  1. Open NVIDIA App.

  2. Enable NVIDIA Game Filters for DayZ.

  3. Launch DayZ.

  4. DayZ crashes during startup and does not enter the game.

  5. Disable NVIDIA Game Filters.

  6. Launch DayZ again.

  7. DayZ launches normally and I can enter the game.

  8. The issue occurs consistently when NVIDIA Game Filters are enabled.

Exact build version (optional)
1.29.163709.
Where did it happen?

Is it modded?

Expected result

DayZ should launch normally and allow me to enter the game with NVIDIA Game Filters enabled. The game should not crash during startup when Game Filters are active.
