Arma stopped working after playing for 2 days. Since yesterday, I can start the game, but when entering the game world, the game crashes to the desktop stating an D3D error ( DSD error- DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED) or causes a restart.
Sometimes the restart even fails with an asus mainboard graphics card error sound (long beep followed by three short ones). After a second reboot the computer launches correctly. I'm running the latest official Nvidia driver (347.88), going back to an older version or reinstalling the DirectX drivers didnt solve the problem. Disabling TrackIR or installed mods does not help either.
UPDATE:
Today i reinstalled Arma3 and set all graphics settings to low - no crash.
Then i raised every setting back to high, one by one and discovered the Bloom caused my crashes, everything else can be set to highest settings.
It is reproducable on my machine, all settings set to low only Bloom enabled causes a graphics driver crash.
