DayZ has stopped working?

Recommended Posts

So I bought DayZ on christmas day. This problem began a few days ago, and I cant really figure out what it is. I launch the game, join a server, and after 2-3 minutes, or sometimes just seconds, the game crashes. A message appears saying "DayZ has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." And then, my mouse is invisible until I somehow manage to close this message box. The event viewer says this:

"Faulting application name: DayZ.exe, version: 0.52.126.10, time stamp: 0x5493f5d5
Faulting module name: DayZ.exe, version: 0.52.126.10, time stamp: 0x5493f5d5

When I played in August I rarely had the game crash on me and when exiting the game it worked as it should. I started playing again last week and although I'm using different NVidia GPU drivers the game now crashes a bit more frequently and many times upon closing the game I get the "stopped working message".

 

Try some different drivers, make sure your pc is clean and you have decent hardware specs.
