There's not much to describe. The crash always look the same. I start Steam, then Arma 3, then I go straigh to the mission by clicking play->campaign->Adapt->Signal Lost->continue. The corporal Kerry wakes up on the beach. I pick up the radio. I go in the direction of the city. Autosave starts and during autosave happens crash. The window that pops up tells me "Arma 3.

Hello,
Thank you for reporting the issue.
We need crash dump files from this folder for solve your problem.
C:\Users\<Name>\AppData\Local\Arma 3\
Can you upload somewhere in winrar package please?

How to find correct crashdump file:
Try to make the crash happen
Look into crashdump folder
Upload crashdump with latest date in name (crashdump is rpt + bidmp + mdmp file with same name). Please try to provide as many crashdumps as possible, it helps us investigating the problem in a big way.

Hi.

I am responding here, because I get the exact same error message, but while playing multiplayer.

I have included the crash files, but mdmp file was not genereated. (arma3-crash.7z)

Interesting is, that everyone on the server experienced severe desych/lag, then my game crashed with the "Arma 3. Out of memory (requested 0 KB)". What is even more interesting, is that my friends game got really laggy, and then he was propelled many kilometers to the ocean(!). His game did not actually crash. He just died in game.

Also, I was running the server myself (on a different dedicated machine). Server was writing logs to stdout, because it was a child progress in a node app, so I don't have full logs any more. I did grab this though that looked really interesting:

So, something going wrong with the physx definitely sounds like something that might propel people couple kms into the ocean:)
