Dayz crashes at startup

[vv3sl3y 1]

I've installed the 0.53 update and i can't really play it at the moment.

 

I've done several things now like reinstalling the game, reinstalling drivers and the suggestion from battleeye to reinstall vredist and directx.

so i've started to delete multiple files and found out that it is the dayz.cfg that's causing the game to crash.

 

i have to delete it before i can play, that means that i always have to redo all the settings.

I've tried starting DayZ up thus generating a new DayZ.cfg and closing it instantly to avoid self applied changes but dayz crashes then.

 

anyone who has any suggestions about this?

 

the problems started at 0.53, never had any issues like this with previous updates.

if its crashing on startup with the current config maybe its the splash screens try turning them off with the -nosplash switch to see if thats the case

Speaking of which, what are your launchparameters anyway?

i only use -nosplash atm, earlier i used -skipintro and -nopause but those don't have any affect either

do you have only installed the latest vcredist?

best suggest install all visual runtimes (from 2005 till 2013 with x86 and x64 architecture, helps also with other games or programms)

get the latest .net 4.0 and 4.5

did you installed the DX9 package or the fix for DX10/11?

 

if you have already done this, pls post your cfg

 

and there is no error code?

btw nice Avatar! ;)

well first time i've booted i got an error about not able to read memory 0x00000000

but that was one time only after that i haven't seen it, havent tried after rebooting though maybe it'll give the error again, then i'll remember to take a screenshot

 

the config i have after starting dayz and editting the settings ingame are:

language="English";

adapter=-1;

3D_Performance=100000;

the directx and vcredist versions i've installed were the ones provided with dayz itself included in the dayz folder in steam

 

every time i start dayz it says this programm has stopped working, it asks if i want to debug dayz with visual studio but that message screen also freezes when it pops up :|

 

Spec of my PC are:

CPU: AMD fx8120

GPU: AMD HD7950

RAM: 8Gb

OS: windows 8.1

well sounds silly but try to overwrite your cfg with my "crappy" near standard settings.

I got several crashes in earlier versions when i changed to higher graphic setting (and sometimes when setting it lower, wtf??)

try also fxaa 0

[vv3sl3y 1]

well i'll be damned, somehow copying your settings worked :D

thank you very much for your help!

 

now I can also edit my settings without having to delete them everytime  :lol:

 

no idea what caused the problem but as far as i know it is solved now :P
