Same thing for me now again.. This happened not long back, a month maybe slightly more, and went on for well over a week. The same nonsense is going on once again. If you read through the help files, it of course lays the blame at the feet of the user, HOWEVER, it isn't too tough to read the reports and see that the highest probability for the access error is the code being sent either to the incorrect location, in the improper format, OR repeating the code too many times while trying to join with the atrocity that is MS. MY reports do not say which it is, only that either one of my first 2 options I mentioned is happening. Now I can fix this, by deleting every single thing that has anything to do with ARMA3, and grabbing it all again. That solution works for a whole 30 minutes to an hour, OR if it does last for longer, it corrects itself (by breaking itself) on server restart. Once the files get updated then, just like the last time, if I wish to play I have to spend 2-3 more hours deleting and redownloading each file. No, that doesn't work, tried. it. even if I copy the downloaded files first pass they are somehow still fouled.
I have managed to fix the memory access violation issue, BUT, it gets replaced with a namespace passthrough yada yada yada error... which I can fix also. THAT just takes me right back to access violation. I like the game, its just a shame it spends more time broken that it does working. Like the other users I am also win10.. 1607 MS busted crap build and now they have DX stuck in the updates. Forced those of us who blocked their updates to unblock them. It would be awesome if updates were actually tested. This has been an issue since what 1.66? then 1.68 broke all doors and now the whole game is useless. You do realize that this exact same error has been in game since it was in testing.

Severity CRASH.. No one should ever need to fill this out as long as this has been here

Additional info..
I am a server owner, which is changing in 2 days unless this is fixed.
I haven't tried to play the normal game. .MP games only.
I can't see that a report log is needed. It didn't help last time.. I ended up fixing it myself by pulling files from a computer that had not been updated by steam on behalf of ARMA3, and turning off everything I could find that would cause anything to update. My guess is this has something to do with CUP or CBA. They all updated and since that DL update this has been happening. May as well test my theory out and kill CUP.. but CBA is needed by about everything. Yes, I am well aware of that.. But at the same time, you may not support MOD versions because they have nothing to do with you.. I disagree. If the whole of the MOD community did as I am about to do and quit. It would have a lot to do with you.
