Hello LLITPEK,
according to the log you've attached you are missing a file that is part of .NET Framework (PresentationNative_v0400.dll). Try to re-install .NET Framework 4.6 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48130 , that should fix the issue.

Another Error report loaded
This time it happend in editor....
Any new thoughts booted up a game this morning and crash 5 sec after entering the game. :/
Hope Adam will come back one day and continue to help... game crashed again today this time w/ (Unable_to_Init_DXGI)same as other error cannot rejoin server w/out admin wiping my character
New crash Log...
-removed -malloc=system
-running mods esseeker, all in arma terrain pack.
I dont play in any servers that require 0 mods so i havent really tested other than going into editor and flying around for 30 min. So far I haven't crashed when playing vanilla.
Try switching to our Memory allocator by removing -malloc=system from your launch parameters.
Is the issue present without mods too?
Hello,
thank you for reporting this. It will be fixed in the next dev-branch update.
Hello,
issue has been fixed and a dev-branch update is now being pushed through Steam. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Wow, that was quick. Thank you.
Thank you Adam for your help, turns out i didn't have the right Direct X installed and needed the C++ windows package update to be installed again.
Sincerely,
Bohemia Interactive Member of the Community.
Thank you again.
Hello,
The OS is unable to load a file that is required to run the game. A missing DLL may belong to the game, the OS or one of the required components (DirectX e.g.). Possible solutions:
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 the Windows System File Check tool to repair corrupted system files.
As of 1.55.133346 (or a bit earlier) command is working fine. Tnx Karel!
Realized that I had done the initial testing with Epoch mod running.
On retesting without Epoch,the explosion didn't happen.
However, it could clearly be seen that the wheels sunk into the roof when switching from Basic to Advanced Flight mode, and popped out again when switching back.
Will be fixed on devbranch soon™
The problem is its working for 99% of the peolpe. If its an engine problem it should be more. As a IT technician i assume that something is wrong on your PC. BTW try the new crimson drivers.
Agree i got around 30%boost without overclocking
I had 25%
so everybody complains they lost FPS in the update, I gained a few FPS..
draw your own conclusions on how this must look like to me..
so that is why my im getting low FPS in SP as well????
and that is why my buddies with similar set-ups get twice the FPS??
there is no logic in this answer.
I am well over minimum specs, paid good money, want working game. That is not strange is it?
I have been patiently trying to solve this my self since march and would appreciate some more effort or a decent answer from your guys side.
Admitting your engine just sucks would do fine, than I can ask my money back and don't have to hope for a solution any more.
For me, and much users helped reinstall windows and not installing any vc++ flash players etc - keeping system clean. i use program lasso to unpark CPU and keep arma on high priorities and auto-change energy plan when launching game, disabling Anti-virus also helping IN MY CASE. .cfg file editing is giving 10 fps more, using all cores also helping a little (5 fps) so overall i have about 20-30 fps all the time. DONT FORGET TO DISABLE VSYNC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
start parameters, GFX settings, .cfg files, different builds, CPU unparking, boost programms, closing programs: nothing makes Arma use more of my CPU or improve my FPS.
I have been trying different things since March when I bought Arma3. Googled extensively, seen all forum topics that never seem to get to a solution either. Asked people that are knee deep in Arma (mod developers, server owners, long time players, people with more IT knowledge than me) nobody understands why my FPS is this bad. Even gave some people remote control of my PC to see for themselves, since they plainly didn't believe/get it.
I will state again: there has been an update that improved my FPS slightly, but killed everybody else's FPS. And even than my CPU usage was still low.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience but the low FPS in multiplayer is often caused by weak server performance mainly in case of persistent missions running on the server as the game is primarily not designed for this kind of gameplay.
for me all this does not help. tried all listed things before in every possible combination.
Startparams?
ANY BACKGROUND Applications?
Adam, thank you, but as you could have read I literary tried EVERY graphics setting, FPS never got really significantly better, let alone get to a point that I would call playable..
Shadows do NOT affect my FPS, my GFX handles it well enough, it is a CPU related problem.
I don't get less FPS in SP than in MP.. In MP my FPS drops to the below 20ies more than it is over it. It is about the same FPS I would say.
Only on battleroyale, when there is a few guys left and the last circle is not in a city my FPS will be do-able at 25ish FPS. Wasteland, Altis or Stratis, my FPS just always sucks. KOTH is totally unplayable. In wasteland I work around it: I resort to sniping, RPGing and driving people over. CQB is nearly impossible. Spotting movement in close proximity is impossible when I'm on the move.
Yes Tutsi, a virus scanner, steam and teamspeak. Running without the virus scanner did not improve my FPS or CPU usage (which is always around 30% in Arma, I wish the other 70% could be used too).
Hey, try putting your visibility on shadows to 0
Reduce PIP quality
Reduce quality of Shadows
Try disabling AntiAliasing (FSAA,PPAA,Aniso. Filtering)
That should increase your FPS.
The weird thing is that you are getting less FPS in SP than MP.
I just used RealBench on my PC:
FX-8350 8x ~4,1GHz
16GB DDR3 on 1800MHz
R9 290X
no SSD
CROSSHAIR V FORMULA-Z
i got :
Image Editing
68030
Time:126.12
Encoding
74760
Time:160.351
OpenCL
67222
KSamples/sec: 1598
Heavy Multitasking
71127
Time:137.499
System Score
56840
I mean i know my PC isnt bad but encoding and HeavyMT 3x
thats really strange.
Cannot say amd is worse i got like 60fps in mp on stratis and 20-40fps on altis (depends on location). But 20fps in sp sounds more like the wrong gpu for me. With everything on ultra and view distance on about 2.5km
it is, I was only able to put graphics on very high (with exactly the same low FPS) after I installed the R9.
For me this malloc works perfect. I have still 30 fps, and its very hard to downgrade it.
If a Program is not optimzed it will use more resources than if optimzed but still arma 3 is not using up everything. Did you tried the startparmaters? Multicore Ram Malloc etc...?
For me it sound really strange.
Additional : Arma 3 is Dx11 so Dx12 wouldnt do anything.
disabling AA got me about 2 FPS extra, thanks.
but this is still no way near the FPS numbers I saw in benchmarks or my buddies with similar systems.
My guess it has to do with either my CPU or motherboard, Arma just not being optimised for either one of them. Still am waiting from an answer from Bohemia...
There has been an update that has been re-rolled after one day: my FPS improved while everybody and his mother lost FPS. The solution is out there, Bohemia step it up please.
Still check if arma is using the main graphics
Try disable AA. Thats kinda strange. Maybe start a MP session and then play around with the settings. Do you have Gaming evolved installed?
With AMD and in Arma MP that fps sounds pretty normal. All I can say is disable PiP, Object Detail on Normal and move the View/Object Distance sliders back and forth if the fps is dropping.
20-25fps is normal in multiplayer. These all affects the multiplayer fps: CPU (AMD is way behind Intel in Arma)/bad server/bad mission/much AI and scripts around etc. You could get acceptable fps on other server but on another mission/server it's really bad.
Btw that Fred41's malloc that someone linked is likely outdated.
im pretty sure I'm running the R9, I am able to crank up GFX settings to very high without any difference, without the R9 that was impossible.
so far the performance build did not give me extra FPS :(
My friend had a similar problem where the intel graphics ( no one knows why ) always wanted to be the one and only and the r9 290x was idling around. Check the clocks of your gpus. Maybe it is running on the a10 ( its quite powerfull though,compareable to a r7)
Wait does the A10 have an internal graphics?????
Frames render ahead (or something like that) in Arma3.cfg? I know it helps much in some cases. 1 Would be the only number that works for me here.
thanks Blubb master, I will test this tonight!
A10 does have internal GPU (R7), but of course I am running the R9.
TutSi, I heared that that helped a lot of people, but for me changes in the .cfg did nothing :( (tried them all ;) )
Sry long google link. But there is the thread and the Dropbox link plus instruction. I got 25 FPS more on the v9
I have stupid suggestion - i tried it on my PC and it helps:
Delete from your PC all VC++ EXCEPT (!) 2010 x64, 2013 x64 & x86, 2012 x64 & x86.
Delete all flashplayers, microsoft solverlights, java
Update all dirvers to STABLE versions (not beta)
Uninstall all unnecessary updates from windows.
CLEAR REGISTRY Using any trusted program.
Now you have almost clear Windows and all should work better. Now the game;
Reinstall it complettly, do not use any mod while testing.
in launcher set to use all cores of your CPU, try this tbbmalloc:
https://github.com/fred41/tbbmalloc_arma
mark all 3 options on ExThreads.
Disable all steam community features while playing (you can go to offline mode btw)
DISABLE ANTIVIRUS
Force game on high priority (can be done in task manager)
TRY NOW
Thanks for your thoughts guys.
I can´t find an active link of a performance build :(
could be interesting?!
I am running a clean system, reg. is clean. Tried running without virus scanners / minimal start up, nothing makes any difference. Installed win10 2 days ago + checked all drivers and updates.
Reinstalled the game 3 days ago. Launch parameters are all filled in correctly. ExThreads are all enabled. Game is already running on high priority. Playing/testing un-modded (Wasteland).
That leaves a different memory allocator, but I don´t expect a performance increase of 20/25 FPS with this.
I am literary running on half the FPS the benchmark for Arma3 on my system showed / people with similar systems are getting.
:O upping the draw distance actually improved FPS slightly xD
(although it also could be an emptying server; less players, more FPS.. Further testing needed, but I'll take every frame extra eagerly ;) )
Arma logic?!
Try a view distance of 2000m and maybe try the Performance build it helps a lot.
Ran as admin as suggested, no longer getting status elevation required. New error is presenting itself. Reference the attached error report. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game. Still presents the same issue. Verified steam cache, still have the same issue. Please Help.
Hello,
Have you tried running the game as administrator? The Requires elevation status is a symptom of the increased security measures that have been implemented in newer windows.
The term "elevation" simply means that you need a "higher" level of access to the system than you currently have. The privileges associated with your current login need to be temporarily raised or "elevated" to a more privileged or powerful level.
In practice, all this really means is that you need to be the administrator, or that you need to allow the program trying to run to elevate itself to administrative privileges by typing in the administrator password.
Hello, fatigue will be removed in the upcoming Nexus patch that is scheduled for the end of the month and will be replaced by Stamina.
So fixing this bug is kind of counter productive since it's gonna expire with the implementation of Stamina at the end of the month.
Thank you for your great report and have a nice day :)
Well ok, no worries, I just thought that the maximum carrying capacity was decoupled from its effect on Fatigue or Stamina.
Won't hesitate to post again after this big 1.54 update (great work btw) if it still exists :)
It would be great idea, but i would add some particles effects for destroying this stone fences. But problem is, even destructable objects (like bushes!) can flip tank upside down. Its a little unaccepatable dont you think? There is an other changes what you (Bohemia) can do, even as temponrary - Force crew to not disembark when tank is flipped (or give 5-10 seconds limit, if tank will be still flipped, then crew can disembark) and give us an option (something like self interaction menu, or (ai menu) http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=22380 and giv there option "reset tank position". It would be like developer tool, but it would help player (at least, maybe something to help AI?) to avoit disembark straight undern enemy small arms fire.
Hello, any news about this ?
Players don't understand why they can't join my server, but they just have to get some addons on the workshop...
This functionality was present in OFP and Arma, it would keep "open" the chat window a bit longer to show the same message the other players see. I have the feeling that it's still there, but hidden as soon as you go back to the multiplayer screen?
Updated the ticket.
Thank you for the Update @Gippo
@harmdhast: When you land a helicopter on water. The engine is broken by water and the helicopter is starting to fall under water. When it touchs the underwater ground, the heli is destroyed. But the EH isn't fired.
@Gippo - Could you replace in summary, description and Steps To Reproduce the word "vehicle" by "helicopter" to clarify the feedback ?
@harmdhast: indeed, but check with a helicopter for example. It is totally destroyed (afaik), but no Killed EH is triggered. Bottom line is still, that the Killed EH is still not reliable on vehicles.
@TheMasterofBlubb: Well, sure, but that would need a loop, so why use the killed eventhandler at all. Ideally, you should be able to do this with only using killed EH.
A workaround could be check the height for below 0 and briken engine. Happy New Year Gippo. A EUTW player.
@Gippo - This approch is very smart and I have the same problem (https://github.com/Giallustio/HeartsAndMinds/issues/52#issuecomment-168059442).
So yeah, alive still returns true on ground vehicles. Adding some context here:
I wanted to replace a continuous respawn loop with killed EH (performance ftw!), but I figured out that there is a problem when the vehicle gets into a water. At the moment I see no workaround here, as hit/hitpart/dammaged/handledamage don't return anything either when the vehicle gets destroyed/disabled in the water.
/!\ Only the engine is destroyed in the water. The vehicle is still alive.
@KK - Yup, my bad. Alive returns false on helicopters, but not on ground vehicles. Correcting the description.
edit: also on jets - edit2 : scratch that, killed EH works on jets
Cannot confirm. Vehicle is disabled, yes, but it is alive.
