Uploaded more crash files. All 4 crashes has happened after system boot first time trying to start A3. (Steam in offline mode, tried also once with steam in online mode and crash didn't occur that time.)

Crash No5 happened right after crash No4. No system reboot between them.
Hard to find consistent repro steps. :(

Please try use -nobenchmark command line option.

Right click on Arma III in your Steam Library>Properties>Set launch options

Can you try kill all unnecessary application before start Arma?

Using (Dev) 0.11.103003 version I haven't been able to reproduce the crash. :)
I didn't have to use -nobenchmark option.

No other applications were running when I had the crashes with original Alpha build.

I changed status, please let me know after Steam update of normal Arma3 Alpha version, that it is ok. Thank you.

Mass close.
