Hello.

UNABLE TO INIT DXGI

Means that the game is unable to initialize a graphical subsystem. Possible solutions:

  • Update the graphics card drivers to a newer version.
  • Rollback the graphics card drivers to an older version.
  • Check the temperature of your GPUs and CPUs.
  • Disable the Steam Overlay.

Have you already tried the listed possible solutions I mentioned above?

Hi Wulf,

I found those tips on wiki. Here is what I've done:

-Update the graphics card drivers to a newer version.

I have Radeon r9 280x and yesterday I updated my graphics driver to new one. Game still crashes.

- Rollback the graphics card drivers to an older version.

I have this bug literally since 2016, and I was using many drivers through this time. Can you tell me maybe which one for my graphic card will work fine with arma3?

-Check the temperature of your GPUs and CPUs.

I checked tempreture each time after crash. I have windforce on my graphic card and when I'm playing arma I don't hear often when the fans are running so I guess temperature here is fine. On other games fans are working so there is no problem with them.
CPU temp is good also.

-Disable the Steam Overlay.

I've done it yesterday and still the same bug.

Today I've downloaded CPU temp app and was trying to watch how things are doing. CPU was fine but I occured another crash. This time got a msg "device removed". I attach new crash log.


Please check this Log maybe you will find what is wrong :(

Hi,

Yesterday I also tried to uninstall graphic driver and install one more time new one. For uninstallation I used DDU app and than I downloaded new radeon drivers from official page.
Unfortunately I'm still having same problem. "Device removed" crash and then Arma report bug shows reason DEAD 0x000000 or something like that :(

This is infact not a probem with arma! Its a problem with windows 10 after the creation update. I had the issue myself, and the only way to fix it was to install an earlier version of windows. I ended up getting a free version of windows 8. Infact arma 3 runs better in Windows 8 than 10. The game dosent crash when you tab out, and i seem to get a better framerate.

Hmm, I see that in all of your reports you have mods loaded have you tried if the crash occurs without mods enabled? There is a possibility it could be caused by a mod.

I've downloaded those mods last week. Earlier I was playing on KOTH servers without any mods (I was pushing button on launcher "launch without mods"), and I had the same crashes and bugs :(

@Wulf any other solution?

Do you by any chance play with a controller or have one plugged in during launch of the game?

Nope :( The only third party soft which is similar to this which you mentioned is Steelseries Engine 3 for my mouse Rival 300. Also i Have connected mic Samson C01U Pro but I'm not using any softwere besides drivers downloaded by windows.
