Game crashes upon selection of Altis Life multiplayer servers.
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Reinstalled Arma 3 after a few months away, and headed into Altis Life ASYLUM today. Things went well for about 3 hours straight, no issues whatsoever. Took a dinner break, came back to try and run again, and that's when problems began. I haven't been able to reconnect after the first time. It's always one of three scenarios:

  1. When I double click on the server in the browser, it will sometimes freeze completely here. Ctrl+Alt+Delete will minimize Arma 3, and Windows tells me it's quit working.
  1. I am sometimes able to get into the server to the point where I choose my slot. I choose, then the game downloads the mission file. Afterwards, seconds before I normally spawn, the game freezes completely like scenario 1. Again, minimize and Windows tells me it's stopped working.
  1. Last and worst. Sometimes, when I choose the server in the browser, it will freeze for about 2 seconds before a blue screen of death appears. {F24528}

Before submitting this trouble ticket, I decided to remove the game completely and reinstall through Steam. This has had no effect, as scenario 1 occurred immediately.

Hello,

could you please upload your DX-Diag file? It would help us a lot.

Thank you.

By golly! What a coincidence! On one of the support pages, it recommended to update network drivers if you have a BigFoot Networks Killer network card, which I do. I updated to the most recent drivers, and things have been working flawlessly once again!

Thank you for your assistance Iceman, I still uploaded the DxDiag file just in case.

Cheers
