I believe that Bohemia made the default graphics quality high. I'm almost positive you can change the settings in the ArmA 3 Alpha Document, however I do not know how to. :confused: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

killa357 1 Posted March 9, 2013 ...I have no fucking clue what I'm doing This made me laugh for a good five minutes, it was so unexpected. Go to your steam library, right click on Arma 3 and click properties. Under the General tab click on SET LAUNCH OPTIONS... Then type in -nobenchmark and/or -winxp. -nobenchmark worked for me.

kremator 1065 Posted March 9, 2013 One other thing that I used that works is to up the voltage very slightly on your video card. Used to crash, but on upping the voltage it is rock stable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rbeasley14 1 Posted March 9, 2013 THANK YOU SO MUCH! Ive spent days doing everything to get this working, tried -nobenchmark and it worked, I love you!

CoSm1c_gAm3r 1 Posted March 10, 2013 I just bought arma 3 and tried to run it. It said something like "installing direct x" and then message pop up that arma stopped working. I restarted my pc and it is still happening. I even tried putting this -winxp or -nobenchmark and still game crashes :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iroquois Pliskin 0 Posted March 10, 2013 If you're running any antivirus programs, try setting it to Silent mode for 1-2 hours prior to launching the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoSm1c_gAm3r 1 Posted March 10, 2013 snoozing antivir and firewall didnt help either :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
almanzo 144 Posted March 10, 2013 Try going to properties and choose verify game cache, that might help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoSm1c_gAm3r 1 Posted March 10, 2013 Im downloading it again. Gonna see if that helps... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KENCO 1 Posted March 10, 2013 I got my Arma to work by rolling back my vid drivers to 306.97. Try it...it may help...may not... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iroquois Pliskin 0 Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) If any of your PC components are overclocked, try resetting the OC to standard settings, then launching again. Edited March 10, 2013 by Iroquois Pliskin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoSm1c_gAm3r 1 Posted March 10, 2013 I have no OC. On steam forums some guy wrote some tips for ppl having same problem "uninstall zonealarm" I have zonealarm but it is ridiculous that I would need to uninstall it. Game should not be racist to antivir programs :/ I didnt have almost no issue with my pc and games. Only Euro Truck Simulator 2 one time caused BSOD. But other games no problems till now with arma 3:/ my video drivers are 306.23 CPU: i7 3820 GPU: GTX 660Ti MOBO:MSI X79A-GD65 (8D) RAM: Corsair vengeance 16GB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nikiforos 450 Posted March 10, 2013 Underclock your GPU a little. I have the GTX 570 and had similar problems. I underclocked GPU Core clock from 742 to 725 and they game don't crash anymore. I can't guarantee that this will solve the problem but this solved it for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoSm1c_gAm3r 1 Posted March 10, 2013 Can't you put ZA into sleep/silent mode? Disable while you run the game. Yes it have options "game mode" and option to snooze anti virus for 5 minutes and also firewall for 5 minutes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CoSm1c_gAm3r 1 Posted March 11, 2013 Funny but my game decided to work. None of suggestions didnt work and game always crashed on startup. But from time to time I just clicked run game and once it just started loading. I thought WTF :D So I was able to play for about 40 minutes in my own mission and then game cashed. I started it again and then played for about 5-6 hours. I didnt uninstalled ZA. Some dude on chat on twitch suggested that I disable zonealarm toolbar IswSvc to not start on windows startup and then restart my PC. I did that but game still was not able to work it just crashed as always before. I tried few times to run it. But after some tries it just suddenly start. I have no -nobenchmark value added or did not disable/snooze my AV it just all the sudden started. So I am not sure if that trick with disabling that toolbar for ZA fixed it or have any influence on that. I just want to mention it because maybe it have something to do with problem of starting game. On the first game start I had to allow game in ZA so I think that maybe AV was not recognizing this game and was terminating it or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
