    I just downloaded the exp version of DayZ, and I was surprised to find that I can actually play on exp, but not on the stable version. What is the reason for this?

    I just reinstalled the system to 23H2, and the problem still hasn't been resolved.
    Completely format the hard drive.

    ⚓ T152523 (Potential Memoryleak) DayZ Crashes when launching (Blackscreen and Freezes), DayZ Experimental works.
    I solved this problem by using the method from this discussion thread. That's great!
