Arma 3 crashes to desktop during start up or within 5 mins of playing
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Arma 3 will crash to desktop when I launch with Playwith Six or through steam during the startup or within 5 mins or so of playing in the editor or on a server. I have tried with mods and without mods and it will still crash no matter what. {F24952} {F24953} {F24954}

Steps To Reproduce

Launch Arma through playwith SIX or through steam. Happens always either right at the A3 screen (when running vanilla) or at the ALIVE screen (if I'm running with my mod list)

Additional Information

I have tried uninstalling, Steam, Arma 3, mods and re installing them, have updated all drivers and windows. Can look at the rpt file but doesn't seem like it is giving me any dump files unless I'm looking in the wrong area but have followed advice from members on the BI forums where they should be located.

My specs are:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3350P CPU @ 3.10GHz (Quad)
NVIDA GeForce GTX 550 Ti (I have 2 of them)
1GB Hard Drive

*Added an Error file a friend of mine found for me hopefully that is useful in someway*

*UPDATED the Product Version*

Hey Iceman I used -nosplash and -skipintro for these but have tried others like -winxp -malloc=system -autotest -checkSignatures -benchmark all at one time or another and still now luck. Thanks for working with this problem

Hello,

could you please verify your game files via Steam?
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335

After then, please try to run your Arma as an admin.

Thank you.

Open your steam folder and then into steamapps, then common. Open the ARMA 3 folder, right click on arma3.exe and go to compatibility tab and select run as admin. Apply and then right click on arma3launcher and in compatibillity tab, set it to run as admin and click apply. It fixed it for me. Btw try to use google since this has been answered many times. Takes 2 minnutes. You have many people trying to help here but you can also help yourself ;) Hope the admin helps.

@KriSS
I haven't seen that idea yet but I'll give it a try but I have searched google for this issue placing a ticket here was due to I was out of ideas and what I could find online and from others wasn't working.

After doing what KriSS suggested and after the verify of the game caches it still shits out on me.

Hmm that's weird :/ tried updating graphic drivers? And how much RAM do you have? Could be a memory issue. Not sure but could be.

Could you please try on version 1.32? It should be released as a patch very soon.

1.32 did not work for me after updating it.

KriSS I have 8GB of RAM on this comp.

So I thought this may be of some help. When my game crashes I get a windows message saying 'there is a problem' that stupid message. Well I could never find anything and then out of the blue I was able to see the message center have a shit ton of message saying Arma crashed. Well here is all the information that it gave me...
