Yeah, 1.10 fixed it!

Okay, let me do it. I have already completed Survive, but I'll start up arma on current patch and record it's behavior on recommended settings then on lowest possible.

TheRainMaker,
Now we just have to put that into the briefing, so everybody with that problem knows.

Dropped my video settings to lowest possible, that fixed it, got to the Tipping Point, returned them back to normal.

Having the same problem.
Specs:
ArmA 3 1.8.113.494
AMD FX 8350
GeForce 770 (332.21)
I have encountered multiple problems, sometimes I was stuck in black screen after "two hours later", sometimes I had the letterbox but was able to aim and shoot everyone in Camp Maxwell (not reload the gun though), one time it crashed by running out of memory. Last time I got some progress but still couldn't get to the next mission.
I'd like to outline one very specific thing. Every time I go play this mission I notice that the game starts to perform slower and slower, drop FPS more and more every second. You can also see that the dialog to the lower right that prints out time and date prints them a lot slower than usual. Sometimes it prints out 2035-07-0 and stops right there and the guy that greets you only says half of his speech.
