Game ALWAYS crashes when opening Video Settings menu
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

It doesn't matter if I open it after loading a tutorial or first thing after loading the game, any time I click on the Video Settings button the game crashes. I verified that I was able to open the Audio Settings without issue. {F18316}

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

Can you upload somewhere in winrar package please?

I've had a few driver crashes since my last successful run of the program, so I hope the log files you are looking for are in there.

Can you try new version of Alpha Lite? It should be already on Steam.

Finally got a chance to try the latest version just now. Game started up first try (windowed mode) and I was able to get into the video settings and set everything to lowest possible settings. I even got to play most of the chopper mission.

Well done! Feel free to mark this issue resolved!

Cool, thank you for answer. Fixed in actual version.
