Very weird "ARMA2 OA exe stopped working" on startup..

[Jokerr (DayZ) 0]

So basically,i have a very weird issue.

I have been playing this mod for 1 month no issues whatsoever.

Today i start up as usual,manually from my directory of the game with "Launch ARMA 2 oa beta patch shortcut".

I get to the little tick thing,then a black screen for 1-2 seconds,than ARMA 2 stopped working.Weird thing is,when i try running ARMA 2 combined operations without beta patch or dayz from my steam library,it loads no issues whatsoever.

This is the crash report thingy :

It happened to me a few hours ago today again,i fixed it somehow(deleted beta folder in directory reinstalled it,veryfied integrity of cache,it magically worked)

What i've tried.

Re-installing all dayz files and beta files using (http://www.dayzwiki....RMA2_Beta_patch).

Veryfying integrity of both ARMA 2 and ARMA 2 OA in steam(they re-acquired some files).

Running Everything possible as admin.

Haven't tried restarting my PC since morning.

Can anyone help?

Little more information:

ARMA 2 and ARMA 2 OA run fine without mods/beta.

When i try to launch ARMA 2 OA with dayz through dayz commander/manually through the directory shortcut for "Launch ARMA 2 oa beta patch" i get the little line with the ticks loading,they load,and the the screen goes black,and then 1-2 seconds in with nothing else but black screen,the game returns to desktop,saying "Arma 2 OA exe has stopped working" with the error in OP.

I have actually fixed that yesterday,what i did :

Deleted the beta folder in expansion,the @DayZ folder in expansion,the @DayZ folder in arma 2 oa,the arma 2oa beta .exe,and afterwards i tried veryfying the integrity of both ARMA 2 and ARMA 2 OA,it said it re-acquired some files,afterwards i ran ARMA 2 OA with no problems whatsovere but only vanilla arma 2 OA,no mods/beta.

Afterwards i installed the dayz files,and then the latest beta.

Then ran "Launch ARMA 2 OA beta w/e" as administrator,and it loaded in with everything,and i played for 2 hours.After quiting the game,i had to take a break,20 min afterwards,i try running the game again,the same way decsribed as above.I get the same "Arma 2 OA exe has stopped working" again.I tried deleting the files described above again,and basically doing the same again,but upon veryfying the cache for ARMA 2 OA,it said 120 files will be re-acquired and started downloading 4.5gb of files,and i haven't touched it since.

Can anyone help me please?I really want to play,and i do not understand what my issue is,i have played the game before perfectly fine...Please help me.

Please help me anyone...

[ast65 11]

have you tried starting directly from exe in beta- folder?

should be a shortcut problem...

I also found a Ticket in the Bug Tracker System of DayZ, which should be the same problem as I, Jokerr and alot of others have.

Link: https://dev-heaven.net/issues/38641

There were also uploaded dumps, which will help the developers in locating the crashbug and if they need specific information, they should just ask.

You can see, that the developer-team do not move a finger in resolving this crash-problem (maybe they have a lot to do, but this problem is known months!!!) and the problem reporter also gets the generic help attempts (useless cr4p-help). In my oppinion, its better not giving such kind of help, because they are mostly non-sense or timeconsuming in combination with not helping.

I also have the same error as Jokerr.

Its in german, sorry.

I am also curious what you have for a processor and video card. I have a

Nvidia 8800 GTS 320Mb,

AMD 6000+ AM2

Maybe the crashbug is caused by old computer components, because my friend could play it and he has relatively new pc components. But if that is the case, than f**k that game.

PS.: @ST, the cause is definitely not a shortcut problem... please look into the matter seriously if you want to help because this is no help, its just frustrating.

I googled a bit about this error-code here: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789. It seems, that its generally related to the OS. There are other games, which suffered the same crashed with this error-code, like Call of Duty, Final Fantasy, Serious Sam 3 and Battle Field 3. And there is NO FREAKING RESULT / SOLUTION / etc.

See these links:

http://social.micros...e-168e12f1aba2/

http://forum.ea.com/...st/7657697.page

http://www.swtor.com....php?p=4834218.

But I also tested, for e.g. Counter Strike Source, which I can play for hours without any crashes.

I also made sure, that is not related to faulty main memory. I completely swapped my main memory to a newer memory and the crashes continue to occur.

Either Microsoft is really doing garbage or the graphics card company is doing garbage with not supporting older video cards or the game developers are using some functions, which are causing trouble, which is also garbage. If the game developers would move a finger and would support their consumers in investigating that case for e.g. with debugging so we would know the cause, that would be like a dream. But reality is a b*tch, right folks? But I would not 100% blame the game developers... but they have more might in explaining gathering strength for collecting information through their fan base so that this lousy problem could be resolved!

I fixed my RTSSHooks.dll errors by going in to the second MSI aircraft icon (with the red 60 on it), scrolling down to RTSS.exe and setting application detection to HIGH (it was set to NONE). Fixed the RTSShook crashes.
