Description

If the game freezes the overlay of the game makes it so you cant end task in task manager. As Windows 8 is a new OS and is "not compatibal" with windows 8 the game overlay is priority over everything including task manager. So the game task cannot be ended. Only solution to this is to turn off your PC/laptop

Does this happen when you play in Windowed mode or just in Fullscreen? Do you have Task manager set to "Always on top"?

We also need dxdiag and files from this folder to solve your problem. C:\Users\<Name>\AppData\Local\Arma 3 Alpha\

Can you upload it somewhere in winrar package please?
If package is smaller than 5,000k, you can attach it here. Thank you.
