Hello,
we analysed the crashdumps and found no valuable data. Would it be possible to run your Arma without any parameters and upload new crashdumps? It would help us a lot.
Thank you very much!
Hi,
thank you for the dumps. We analysed them thoroughly. However, there are no valuable data for us. Would it be possible to provide at least 3 more crashdumps (3 rpt + bidmp + mdmp file with same name)? If you could send more, it would be better. I know that it is little bothering but it helps us in a great way to determine where the problem is.
Thank you very much, have a nice day!
I've sent you three more crashdumps.
//edit:
The workaround from SG_Smokintodd in this Thread (http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=18883#c71510) seems to work.
Since i deleted the Dlls, i had no problem starting and running the game.
Maybe this information helps, solving this issue of crashing games.
Seems that i'm not the only one with this exact problem.
Hello,
it seems that some of the dll libraries are corrupted. We are unable to reproducce the problem in our conditions, so I would like to ask you for a cooperation. Please verify your game through Steam, so the dll libraries are downloaded again. ( https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335 [^] )
Then I would like you to try the allocators one by one to determine which cause the crashes (there may be more of them). To do that please:
Create a shortcut of the arma3.exe file.
Select properties of the shortcut (right click)
To the path of the file, add: -malloc=<dll_name>
it should look similar to this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\arma3.exe" -malloc=<dll_name>
Please, replace <dll_name> with following (one for every launch):
tbb4malloc_bi
tbb3malloc_bi
jemalloc_bi
tcmalloc_bi
nedmalloc_bi
custommalloc_bi
If we could determine which of these are causing the crashes, it would be a big help. Thank you very much!
Okay so i tested all memory allocators and tcmalloc_bi is the only one that causes my game to crash.
Other than that, what is the exact difference between all memory allocators?
Hi,
we updated the memory allocators, would it be possible to start Arma on Steam Dev branch? It should not be crashing anymore.
Thank you.
