Hiya!
For the past few months, I've had loads of crashes that have to do with my memory and directx.
Sometimes it'll be a failed write error for the memory, other times a read and other times a directx device memory issue.
5 examples of error messages I get:
"The instruction at 0xf1590ff3 referenced memory at 0xf1590ff3. The memory could not be written.",
"The instruction at 0x000002fc referenced memory at 0x000002fc. The memory could not be written.",
"DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED",
"0xC0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION", (more recent)
"0xC0000409 - STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN" (more recent)
Also, my game will sometimes start to lag violently a few minutes before crashing, giving 1-3 FPS and all the models look blocky, as if I were playing Minecraft.
What I've tried:
Removed all mods
Verifying game cache
Reinstalling Arma 3 (twice)
Reinstalling Windows
Used a different profile
Reinstalling directx versions
Used different malloc settings through the launcher
Used different CPU count and ExThreads through the launcher
