Despite trying seemingly all of the fixes available online, Arma 3 crashes every time it is launched.
Things I have tried:
- Updated DirectX
- Disabled audio/recording devices
- Updated graphics driver
- Updated PhysX driver
- Tried forcing VSync on and off
- Tried -nobenchmark parameter
- Changed malloc to system
- Tried deleting and regenerating Arma 3 folders in Documents
- Tried deleting and regenerating Arma 3 folders in Appdata
- Tried re-installing Arma 3
- Tried validating steam cache
- Tried -maxVRAM=900 parameter
- Tried underclocking graphics card
- Tried starting from arma3.exe
Depending on what was tried, Arma 3 would crash directly to the desktop, crash with the windows "program has stopped working" dialog, or crash with the Arma 3 "D3D Error - DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED" error.
In the attached zip file, I have included the Arma3.cfg, arma3_2014-08-30_22-16-21.bidmp, arma3_2014-08-30_22-16-21.rpt, and DxDiag.txt files. {F24699}
