Random crashing with error message "ARMA 3 has stopped working"
Assigned, WishlistPublic

Description

Been having this issues every since I first bought the game as soon as it became available on steam. The game just freezes randomly while playing and when I go to desktop I get an error message saying ARMA 3 has stopped working. I bought this game the 2nd day it was available on steam. Ive always had this issue and just figured eventually it would get fixed but its still happening. Sometimes I can play for over an hour with no problem. Other times im lucky to get 10 minutes before crashing. Ive included my latest error file. {F23479} {F23480}

So i'am now checking your issue but don't see anything strange in your crashdumps. Can you please provide me more of them?

I dont have any others at the moment. Lowering all settings to medium seems to help the problem from my last testing. I have been away from the game for a while and have been on vacation for the last few weeks so i havent been playing at all. I should have time to play some more now that things have settled down and will provide more crashdumps when they arise. Glad someone is looking into the issue.

We always trying to give our players as much support as possible ;-)

Maybe there could be problem with low memory (RAM) so lowering settings could help. But definetly if you will have some crashes let me know ;-)

Just had another crash while flying heli. Nothing set on high settings. http://speedy.sh/Q8D9Z/Arma-3.rar

Just played for a few hours and had a bunch of crashes. More dump files. http://speedy.sh/g98Dd/Arma-3.rar

I'am very sorry but i must say that these minidumps contained no clue about what is going on again...

Ok. Thanks for looking into it. It is very strange and very random. ARMA 3 is the only game I have issues with. Seems like a lot of ppl are having similar problem for unknown reasons aswell.
