Game freezes between 10-20minutes with and without mods active
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

sry for bad english... no native speaker :)

but I`ve done some testing and what I`ve discovered is:

When framerate drop begins I see some flickering of surrounding graphics... then the framerate starts dropping from 47, 20...., 3 (staying there)

But the framrate could be influenced whilst looking through magnifying scope.. frames upramping to 47 again.. and holding there... putting down magnifying scope.. frames dopping again to 3 and lower?!?!

framerate recover`s only with a newstart from launcher... leaving the editor to mainscreen does not solve this issue...

Hello,

we are sorry you are experiencing issues with our game.

Please try to disable any mods and export your game log files from the launcher.

Steps on how to export logs from ARMA 3 Launcher:

  1. Start ARMA 3 Launcher
  2. Click Options menu
  3. Drop down menu will appear
  4. Select: Prepare Arma Troubleshooting error and save those files
  5. A notification will pop up with the name of the generated file

Please note that it might take some time for files to collect.

Attach the generated files to the ticket. If the files are too big please use some free file sharing service.

Some FPS drops were being addressed in the latest Steam Dev updates. Could you please try to switch to Steam Dev and see if the problem is still present?

You can find how to change to Steam Dev here:

Thank you

SOLVED!!!!
so I solved the problem (for me at least)...

I used the command... -malloc=tbbmalloc in startoptions since your last info.

something must have changed since one of the last updates... after replacing it with the new setting "-malloc=tbb4malloc_bi" in the launcher everything is fine again... :)

now my settings are...
-no Benchmark
-noLogs
-noPause
-enableHT
-malloc=tbb4malloc_bi
