When launching the game it crashes instantly. Arma 3 logo loading screen doesn't even appear. This happens even without parameters and launcher. No RPT or crash dumps created in the Arma 3 appdata folder because the crash is to instant.
Started to happen on either rev. 128877 or 128887. I can confirm that it started in rev. 128887. {F25403} {F25404} {F25405}
Launch game -> Instant crash.
One time it launched normally so there can be some randomness.
There are no Arma 3 logs from the crash so I can only upload dxdiag and whatever other files you need.
Hello,
sorry to read about your trouble.
Have you tried verifying your game files via Steam?
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335
If so (and the game still does not work for you), could you please try launching it with a start up parameter -nobenchmark?
Let me know, please.
I've tried to verify and download dev branch couple of times. I'll test -nobenchmark now after I've downloaded the dev branch again.
OK now after multiple times launching the game it started. So this is random but the instant crash happens VERY often.
/Now it's starting normally. I'll try to find more about this. I guess if I restart computer I need to try to launch the game multiple times bfore it finally launches. At least that's how it has been so far.
Could you please check if the arma 3 process is created (even for an eyeblink) in the task manager? Also, could you please try to switch Steam to offline mode if that helps? The rpt does not show much info, unfortunately.
So once I can succesfully launch the game there SOMETIMES seems to be no problem to launch it again. But if I restart computer I can't launch the game again until I try multiple times. It can take anything like ~10-20 unsuccesfull launch to get it succeed. Now it took 18 attemps.
So it's very random but it's more random to get the game launch. Sometimes after succesfull launch I can launch it multiple times without problems, sometimes after succesfull launch I need to try again multiple times to get the game launch again.
I'm now 100% sure this is dev only issue because I've now tried all kinds of steps to get the stable crash same way but it doesn't happen.
I uploaded what I got from Windows reports.
Yes I can see arma3.exe in my task manager. It stays there as long as I click the "close program" from the Arma 3 has stopped working window.
Memory around 6 300 K when it crashes.
Steam in offline mode doesn't help.
OK I think I found what's wrong. Seems like it isn't fully game's fault. I've been using this like probably many other people and Dwarden:
https://github.com/fred41/GimmeMoarFrames
I needed to reg edit 'UseLargePages' = 1 back to 0
Now there seems to be no problems after multiple tries.
Need to inform couple people for that.
When you use the default allocator (provided by game), how does the game behave? Does it start for both:
UseLargePages = 1
UseLargePages = 0
Thank you for your help with this!
Every malloc or without any parameters it's crashing when UseLargePages = 1
I'm not sure did Dwarden mean it's already in the engine currently so that's why it's crashing now http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?177454-a-simple-registry-tweak-for-increased-performance&p=2858340&viewfull=1#post2858340
