A memory crash that has been plaguing my Arma for several weeks. I have made several attempts at fixing it to no avail. It doesn't seem to be linked to any particular event in game. It is also isolated to Arma 3 specifically.
Brief overview of specs:
AMD FX-8350
GTX 970
12GB RAM
Windows 10 64-bit
It happens randomly, having mods enabled or disabled seems to have no effect. It also happens in every game mode that I play: Koth, Wasteland, Altis Life, ZGM, and other random used-created missions.
The crash usually occurs within 5-30 mins of gameplay, if not while loading the game mode. Also crashes when I Alt-Tab, but not as often.
I have tried:
I put a DxDiag file inside the crash report.
I disabled the MaxMem parameter and I was able to play wasteland for a good solid 2 hours. But I tried to host a multiplayer Zeus mission for a few friends, and I kept crashing with the same error at the briefing map.
We managed to get the Zeus game mode to partially work by doing the following:
This gets the game up and running for a bit, but as soon as I start placing NPC's and structures, my game crashes shortly after. Also, to clarify, it is a custom mission that I am working on; a Zeus v Zeus RTS-style game mode. Not sure the mission has much to do with the crashing though.
Added a crash report for Arma without the MaxMem parameter. This crash in particular happened after placing a mortar team in a multiplayer Zeus game.
If I'm not mistaken, restarting Steam client resolves this bug.
However, when I get this Access Violation error, windebug cannot produce a backtrace because of this bug. Any debugger should be able to provide a backtrace with ease.
