- Game Freezes
- Start Arma 3 Alpha or Arma 2 OA from a Samsung SSD 840 Pro
- Use the default Microsoft AHCI Drivers for your SATA-6-Gbit-Ports [Marvel 9128 Controller]).
- Game will already start freezing when you are still in Main Menu
to be able to start even a game you have to use the parameter "world=empty", but in the game you will anyway have the problem that the game is freezing and unfreezing sustained.
That's my system:
Windows 7 x64
AMD Phenom II 965 (C3)
2x2GB Kingston HyperX DDR-2000 CL8
Gigabyte GA-790FXTA-UD5
HIS HD5870 2GB Eyefinity6
Samsung SSD 840 Pro 256 GB
Intel X25-M G2 Postville 80GB
Hello,
I am not able to play the game because it freezes, stop freezing and is freezing again always.
I assume that it has something to do with the SSD (Samsung SSD 840 Pro) I have installed Arma3 on. When I use a dedicated which Driver (Microsoft AHCI Driver) I get decent Bandwidth rates, which help Arma or should help Arma to run more smoothly, but I assume the game has some problems with the high bandwidth. When I install a dedicated Marvel Driver for the SATA-Controller I get worse Bandwidth/read/write-rates but the game is working.... but I don't have so much FPS as i have when i use the Microsoft driver....
It's even very difficult to start the game, because in the main menu there is already the island loaded in the background. To be even able to start the game i have to use the parameter "world=empty"....
My Mainboard is a Gigabyte 790FXTA-UD5 which has a dedicated SATA-6-Gbit-Controller (Marvel 9128). The problem appears in Arma 2 OA and Arma 3 Alpha. As I am not able to play that way I currently think about sending back the SSD..... because i just bought it half a week ago....
Could you please find out why exactly Arma is persistenly freezing/unfreezing/freezing/unfreezing....?
Event Timeline
In the very unlikely case that the problem is not already appearing at the beginning, just open the Map or Change the Camera Perspective to make to make the freezes appearing.
Closing as this is HW related issue. Please make sure all your hardware is installed properly and you are using proper and updated drivers.
