Steps To Reproduce

Any game mode will crash eventually, more complex maps with many units or adverse weather seem to crash faster.

Additional Information

CPU: i7-2600 3.40GHz
Memory: 8GB
GPU: NIVDIA GeForce GTX 570
Driver: 340.52 (Clean install)

Some (not all) crash reports have shown “ErrorMessage: DX11 error : buffer Map failed : DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED”

Have included DxDiag file and Arma3 reports

Fixes tried:

Updated graphics driver to 340.52 with clean install via the Nvidia GeForce Experience program

Changing graphics settings in game

Running with the “-noCB” command, this resolved a separate flickering HUD issue but the game still crashed

Im having the same issue as well. random crashes with this error in the rpt.

Hello,

thank you for your report and files. It seems that your problem is that DirectX crashes. This may be from various reasons, such as outdated DirectX, outdated drivers, overclocked CPU or GPU [by manufacturer or user] and many more.

Sadly, there is nothing that can be done from our side. I linked this problem to bug number #0000579, where you can read useful tips in comments. Also, please check out the forums page for another useful tips:
