hello,
today, i had cleaned-up my PC by removing all nvidia drivers (thanks to Display Driver Uninstaller + Registrar Registry Manager Free Home Edition softwares).

what can i do??

I just retried with latest nvidia driver v378.92 + newest windows update: Windows 10 Version 1607
Game is not crashing but hangs in the campaign menu or sometimes just before so i have "arma" logo always displayed on the screen.

You are right. Sorry i didn't checked carefully. It happened because I made CTRL+ALT+DEL so i guess the troubleshooting report app was not able to make the mdmp files...

how can i help?

Thanks! I got them :p
Today (Feb-27), 2 freezes at game start. Please look at http://www.mediafire.com/file/alzlf7xx3pznxlp/ArmaReport_Log_20170227T211908.zip

• dump file 2017-02-27-22-15-30: game hangs in the main menu screen (where we start solo or campaign)
• dump file 2017-02-27-22-17-02: game hangs with Arma logo (before going to main menu)

@razazel, thanks for the info.
I will now be part of "RC testing of Update 1.68".
I had updated the latest nvidia driver: 378.66 (Direct3D: 12_1, DirectX: 12.0)

Nvidia driver 378.49 + latest dev version of Arma3: same problem
How to progress on it?
The game is not usable since 4 months!
I need support, thanks

Hi i had a problem with ASUS GPU tweak https://feedback.bistudio.com/T121859 its worth a try uninstall ASUS GPU tweak and test. Reinstall it if you dont have a problem with IOmap64.sys.

I had upgraded the Nvidia driver to 376.33 (14.12.2016) using the dev branch of Arma3 (1.67.139743) in 64bits

I am not experiencing any issues with driver version 376.09 or any of the recent drivers. OS is Windows 7 64-bit.

Arma3 release: 1.66.139494
nvidia drivers:

• 372.90 (@21.9.2016)
• 376.09 (@28.11.2016)
• 368.81 (@14.7.2016)

Can someone else having a Nvidia can tell me if the game is working fine with the same drivers as me?

error code 0x0000DEAD - Unknown with the version under dev: 1.67.139502
I can't find the RC

ok i will try RC release.. Could you please share the code?
Is there a RC under testing now?

here is my tests status...
during my tests, a new error code has been raised.. 0x00000001 – UNABLE_TO_INIT_DXGI
any idea?

Thanks for your prompt reply.
Sorry I had forgotten to mention that prior to submit this ticket:

• I had verified the integrity of the game cache through Stream app,
• I had checked the version of DirectX (it is the latest one)
• I had checked verified on Nvidia site, the driver release notes if such problem is reported as either fixed or limitation.. Nothing about it.
