Game freezes or locks up when sitting in the server browser.
New, WishlistPublic

Description

Once the game loads and you click on play and multiplayer the browser will begin to load and it seems to take allot longer than I recall happening before (Alpha).

After some time the servers will start to populate and with in a few moments the game is frozen.

Going to the Task Manager Arma 3.exe not responding. I waited for about an 20min for it to recover but I finally had to Kill the Process.

Steps To Reproduce

Start game, everything plays well SP, go into Multiplayer and let server browser load. Wait for it to begin loading and it should freeze.

Additional Information

This is with out any sort of filters set up, all default settings.

If I just click on any of the first servers to load that are available I can join and play no problems.

One thing that has seemed to help has been to go into the filters and select minimum players to 1, I haven't had a chance to let it sit and test if that makes it stable or if it just takes longer to become frozen.

The other thing that I noticed is that some of the other options in the filters are not working as expected if at all. For example setting minimum ping, I still get some servers with "?". I'll test more tonight when I have a chance.

This happens on the standard beta and the dev build. Currently I am playing the dev.

I also forgot to mention that this is a fresh install of Arma 3 Beta.

It appears that adding "-nologs" to the launch options has helped with this problem. I have not had a chance to extensively test, but the last 2 times I played I was able to sit in the browser for more than a few minutes with out a lockup.

After the recent update this seems to be worse. (No longer playing dev branch since release.)

Since hotfix I have begun experiencing the game freezing in the server filter as well.
