Game crashes randomly because "memory could not be read"
Assigned, WishlistPublic

Description

So 2 days ago, I was playing Arma 3, and I was about 20 minutes into it. I was having fun, then suddenly my game crashed. It gave me a "arma3.exe application error". I was confused, but I thought it wouldn't happen again. So I loaded back up Arma 3, and after around 10 minutes my game crashed again, giving me the same error. I restarted my computer, and tried to play again, but the game kept on crashing. I've tried to research how to fix this, but nothing has worked. My drivers are up-to-date. {F27874}

Hello,

it looks like the crash dumps were not created (we need rpt + bidmp + mdmp files). It could be that your game actually did not crash or it crashed and was killed off (via task manager) too quickly for crashdumps to create.

Next time it freezes, please try to wait a minute or two so the dumps have time to create. If there are no crashdumps after then, we'll try to find another solution.

Thank you

I have done what you said and uploaded the 2nd report

Hello,

The error you've encountered is very generic. It may be caused by many issues, such as a hardware malfunction, a virus in the computer, but also an error in the game itself. Possible solutions:

-Try joining another server, then rejoin the previous one.
-Update the graphics card drivers to a newer version.
-Rollback the graphics card drivers to an older version.
-Check the temperature of your GPUs and CPUs.
-Verify the integrity of the game cache using Steam.
-Re-install DirectX.
-Uninstall the Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable package (x86 version), restart your computer and install the package again (do not use the Repair function).
-Run a Windows System File Check tool to repair corrupted system files.

Thank you
