Do you have same issue in our officially coop missions Escape from Stratis and Headhunters?

I have exactly the same problem. The game freezes every 15-30 minutes short. Short means 5-30 seconds. After that it runs smoothly again or crashes completely. If it crashes it will freeze and then immediately displays the crash report. Here's my dxdiag.txt and the entire contents of my "Arma 3 folder" is. Apologies that I use no WinRAR. Have placed it with 7zip. That should not be a problem. Or? I am happy to assist you.

I dont know mine seems to have stopped, i think the cause for me was one of the buttons on my mouse. I pressed a media button and it may have caused it to freeze

I don't know if it's directly linked, but whenever this happens to me I see a new player join (in the chat dialogue). It seems if I stop all input and just sit there and watch it, it will subside after 10 seconds. If I keep inputing (keys, alt tab, whatever) it will crash.

"Do you have same issue in latest stable build? "
Yes, this is in the latest stable build.
I can't test in dev version as it only happens in multiplayer (I can literally play all day on my own server without it crashing)

I crashed 5 times in one around on the Goonies TDM Server on Stratis Airbase (night) just a while ago. It happened every time I shot a player or I got shot. That's just strange. On their other maps I often crash when I'm looking through my scope.

Problem solved. At least in my case. GameSpy! When I opened all the ports, I have no more lag. No lag when connecting. No lag in game. Do not crash.

Here are the ports that I have entered in my router:
6667 (IRC)
3783 (Voice Chat Port)
27900 (Master Server UDP Heartbeat)
28900 (Master Server List Request)
29900 (GP Connection Manager)
29901 (GP Search Manager)
13139 (Custom UDP Pings)
6515 (Dplay UDP)
6500 (Query Port)

I'm spoiled by UPNP. It is long ago that I had to enable a port. Please find a better solution before you published the game. :-)
