Since a few patches ago, I've been experiencing CTDs when starting the game. It would boot up, show the splash screens and logos and then flicker and crash. I wasn't able to play at all. It's been a very frustrating few months, hoping for it to be fixed so I can play again. None of the fixes of other people having crashes on startup worked for me (reinstalling drivers, -nobenchmark or reinstalling DirectX from the ARMA 3 folder etc). I haven't reported it yet because I had no clue at all what might've been causing it, but this morning I finally found a consistent influence on whether it crashes or not.
The Overwolf ingame overlay. When I close it before starting the game, the game runs fine (yay!). But when I leave it on, I always crash after the logo screens during startup. It seems to crash when it has to render a 3D environment, like the background in the main menu, though this is just speculation. This occurs on both the regular build and the dev build. So far, I don't have this problem with any other games while running Overwolf. {F23021} {F23022}
