Random game crash, random game freezing, have to ctrl+alt+del to shutdown arma3.exe to restart.
Assigned, WishlistPublic

Description

Received simply arma3.exe has stopped working. Received physX3.dll as the other reason for the crashing. Has only started happening more frequently the past few days. The hotfix was great at first letting me play any length of time each session. Now I have this random freezing/crashing(no set time you can play, it just happens whenever). {F22556} {F22557} {F22558}

2 more crash reports added, will continue to add them as i get them. Really beginning to wonder if Nvidia or you, BIS, know how to fix this mess.

played until 1230am last night. Just started Arma3 at 1045am and it locks up when i click multiplayer button. 3 times in a row, and I have not changed a thing since last night. PC is always shutdown at night. All files validated on Steam as well. Now I cant even play?

This is a widely seen issue with our community members. The game freezes (locked to a single frame), or the game crashes / quits to the desktop.

We still see the physx issue but not nearly as often.

Sometimes the issue seems related to a server crash or sometimes 50% to 100% of the servers players crash without the server restarting.

Whatever it is it happens in mass but doesn't always seem to effect everyone.

uploaded DxDiag(64bit)in hopes it helps you with more info.

latest file uploaded is from the game freezing "arma3.exe has stopped working" while playing Wasteland on Altis.

I can confirm that Arma3 is crashing again similarly as a month ago when everyone reported crashes every 10 minutes. Today I had got three crashes in a row in within just an hour. See my files attached for your evaluation.

Yeah. Mine crashes randomly as well. I'm getting really tired of it.

and yet ANOTHER PhysX3.dll crash. Could the devs please explain why this still continues?

and again another PhysX3.dll crash just now
