Status_Access_Violation Error In Arma 3 Editor.
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I use the AIA TP mod and I'm working on a mission in a new map. Never had this issue ever before until a few days ago. Very simple, when I'm editing my mission, I'll spawn a building, or a few units, or a few lights, doesn't matter. When I click save and preview the moment the mission is about to load up on screen it crashes with an error message about memory cannot be written and then access violation error. This happens constantly now.

I don't have this problem with any other high end game, it only happens with Arma 3 when I'm trying to spawn objects, save and then preview. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I tried creating a new profile, I tried removing certain mods, I tried disabling UAC, and I tried installing new GPU drivers and older. I even tried to uncheck ready only in the Arma 3 folder where missions get saved.

What other tricks can I do to fix the issue? It seems to be a problem when trying to save something new I put on a map. Others are having this issue as well.

Hello,

thank you for the dump files. However, we cannot determine what exactly caused your game to crash. It is necessary you tried to run your Arma without any mods. If the crashes still happen then, please send another crashdumps.

If the crashes stop (on Arma without mods), please try to activate mods one by one until you find out which one causes the crashes.

Mods are not official content from Bohemia Interactive and it is very likely that the CTDs you are experiencing are caused by collisions between two or more mods.

Please let us know, thank you.

I believe I have discovered the problem, very strange actually, hopefully it will help someone else who's having the same issue. In the editor if you spawn objects in the black zone of the map where there is nothing.... that can cause strange crashing while saving and previewing.

So don't spawn objects in the black zone of the maps you're working on. Moved the objects away from the black zone and crashing stops, move objects in the black zone and crashing starts again.

This is actually fixed on devbranch. You can place things outside of map without crashes.
