I've been playing DayZ, that I have bought quite recently without any issues for over 30 hours of gameplay. Then I have spent a little while without playing it and when I decided to play again I received that "DayZ has stopped working" message and then I was never able to run it again. One detail is that I get one message of "Dayz has stopped working", then after I close it, a second message appears repeating the same thing. Name of the issue event APPCRASH and the name of the fail module KERNELBASE.DLL Now, when I try to run the game from the Steam folder, from the .EXE directly, it says that it "doesn't detect the Steam running" or something similar to that. But I don't think that's the issue, because after receiving this message, a get two messages of "Dayz stopped working", one after the other, being "Appcrash" the reason in both instances. Looking for a solution, I have read somewhere that it's possibly a conflict between another software running in the background and that I should try to open it in safe mode, which I still didn't do, will try it. Anyway, what could it be? Can someone please help? By the way, I have Arma III as well and I'm having the exact same issue with both games, though I have not reinstalled Arma III, just uninstalled it so far, because DayZ after the reinstall still didn't work.
