hello, I have tried you newest beta patch yesterday 88251 and unfortunately the problem still persists.

In addition, I also found out it occurs in single play(normal patch version ), however only after a long play time (60+min).

Again before the patch I I did not have any of these issues and now the game is basically broken. This as since the 1.60 patch I have not been able to play multiplayer games without crashing to desktop or for longer than at most 30 mins without A CTD . Although usually the CTD happens within a few minutes of entering the MP game.

I really hope you are able to fix this problem !!

Did you actually launch the game with the Beta patch? Just installing it is insufficient.

yes, I learnt my lesson, I started the game with the appropriate shortcut and it showed the correct beta version.

Actually it was diffculty to join MP servers because I kept getting kicked with the message server cannot determine game version. Although finally I did find a coop domination server that accepted me and played for about 15 minutes and just as I wanted to attack opfor the crash happened. Somehow I think the crashing is related to me giving inputs as it is usually when I move my gun or walk around.

@alexc: Steam right ?

yeah, saem thing here ! however i dont crash so often (maybe once per 4 hours), and so far only on Chernarus maps, so its playable, but it sucks !

i might try going back to 1.5x if you guys say it started with 1.60, this might be worth a shot !

im now very sure this all is a problem of steam because now ive had clean install of the DVD version from a freinds DVD and no single problem, no single bug, nothing, despite running Avast which i originally thought to be the problem causer !!! yet i have tested this for 48 hours, and if it keeps stable and bugfree for 3 more days i will order my own DVD copy from Amazon and give Steam the middle finger :p

good to know. I must note that when playing (MP and SP )ARMA II (patch1.11) which I did not buy from steam I have no issues.

If it is truly a steam related issue this brings isolating the problem closer. Nonetheless, I hope and think Bohemia or Valve should provide a proper solution for this problem, other then needing to buy the game again...

Hurray,rejoice.. it has happened! :yay:

beta patch 160. 89647 appears to have resolved the issue of the random CTD's in multiplay.

I guess it has something to to with the loading of textures which has been fixed in this beta patch as the CTD would always be preceded stutters in the game probably due to the texture loading issues..

in the past week I have completed 3 different long game (1hr+) sessions in multiplay without any CTD's, while as before all multiplayer games would end in CTD after some time mostly 20 to 30 mins.

I call praise to the coder(s) who fixed this issue!!! Bohemia thanx !!
