Game always crashes on scuba dive mission
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Game is constantly crashing after disarming the first underwater mine. I'm also experiencing random crashes in online games. First the game freezes for a few seconds and then brings me back to desktop. It's still running and using CPU resources but I can't go back and need to end task. Last time I was able to play online for about 30 minutes and then it crashed.

Steps To Reproduce

After disarming the first underwater mine I'm able to swim a few meters to the next waypoint and the game crashes.

Additional Information

The symptoms are always the same ether I'm playing that showcase mission or playing online. In the archive I've also included a screenshot of the task manager.

After adding the -winxp parameter I'm able to finish the mission without any problems, even can play online on some servers. But now my game is crashing on every wasteland server when loading the mission. I've added a new zip file with files from appdata\local\arma 3 alpha folder.

Happened again, even with the -winxp parameter. Exactly the same type of crash. I was playing online for about 40 minutes and the game crashed. I was also experiencing extreme slowdowns on random, game was freezing for 5 sec or so then continued working. I've uploaded a new archive with the files after the crash. Hope it helps.

is this game crashing in singleplayer using the -winxp parameter?
In MP, is the game crashing using the -winxp parameter while playing official MP missions or is this game crashing playing Wasteland and other custom created missions/mods ?

With -winxp I had no crashes playing singleplayer, finished all showcase missions. In multiplayer I'm mostly playing Wasteland and getting the same error message in arma3.rpt as I had in singleplayer without -winxp.

This is the error:

We are currently looking into this. Are you able to reproduce the crash also on our official Arma 3 MP missions?

Yes, I was trying to play Escape from Stratis and it's crashing with the same error.

could you please provide rpt and dumps file with the crash on Escape from Stratis? Thank you

should be fixed since A3 DEV version 103042 and greater. Will be distributed at night or tomorrow. Please update A3 DEV from steam after this date and re-test it again

Fix should be also in the next Stable build of Arma 3 Alpha

Mass close.
