Additional Information

Happens on campaign mode, server mode, downloadable content as well.
seems from the visual studio debugger that "The thread tried to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access"
tried all the suggestions:

0xC0000005 - ACCESS_VIOLATION
Can also be STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION.

This error is very generic. It may be caused by many issues, such as a hardware malfunction, a virus in the computer, but also an error in the game itself. Possible solutions:

Try changing the Memory Allocator you are using (default: "tbb4malloc_bi" - try "system" on Windows 7 and later)
Try joining another server, then rejoin the previous one.
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.
Verify the integrity of the game cache using Steam.
Re-install DirectX.
Uninstall the Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable package (both x86 and x64 version), restart your computer and install the package again (do not use the Repair function).
Run a Windows System File Check tool to repair corrupted system files.

also: tried some other course of action from the same crashes posted here. None worked.

Verify your game files via Steam.
If that doesn't help, launch your game with -noCB, in Arma 3 launcher's parameters tab its the one all the way on the bottom.

if it still crashes, please send me the new report after the game crashing with -noCB being set.

hi it is doing the same to me and i have tried all recommended steps but still with same error

the same thing happened with noCB set

Hi Explodygoboom,

try to run with the next parameters:

  1. Platform 32-bit
  2. command line: <your/full/path/to/Arma 3> -profiles=Profiles -malloc=system -hugePages -noLogs -noCB
  3. Extra threads - mark all the 3

after many tries, this configuration was the most stable for me.

can you tell if a crash occurs when shooting AT on vehicles?
