questions about a few issues i am having with arma 3

[marcushague 1]

hey guys,

i have a few questions about some issues im having.

first problem is,

1) when i start the game up sometimes it will crash saying that the game cannot run in this instance anyone had a similar issue and have any idea what to do... it doesnt happen everytime but does happen from time to time.

2) i get the game crashes alot when i try and join a team on a multiplayer match, not in game just whilst trying to select the team.

3) when starting my own server to play a game like wasteland it crashes everytime after about 5 seconds no matter what game i choose to play.

4) sometimes when i join a MP server it just has a blank screen.... i can press esc and go back to the normal screen but when i respawn its still black.

5) ( been mentioned on the forums) game crashes alot maybe 3-4 times an hour.

6) sometimes the game will start up normally and then go to 16 bit display.... if i tab out then it returns to normal but not sure why this happens seems like a bug.

if anyone has had similar issues or knows how to solve any of them then please say would be a great help.

thanks Muchly

Most of the mentioned issues are already known and have been reported on the bugtracker. That's the place where you want to be reporting any new bugs/crashes; just make sure to do a search first, just in case it has already been reported. If it has, you can vote it up. Higher voted bugs will get more dev attention.

This one stuck out at me though:

3) when starting my own server to play a game like wasteland it crashes everytime after about 5 seconds no matter what game i choose to play.

What happens if you disable all friendly AI slots? Any change?

same thing everything that i have tried just causes a crash after 5-10 seconds.

the server loads fine lets me choose sides choose my spawn point ( has to be random) then i can run about 20 ft and i get a crash, happens on wasteland, air cavalry, operation steal the bird, vip ect basically on all of the add on missions you can get i have made sure i have them installed as told to in steam/arma3/spmission

and have deleted them and re extracted them to this file.

my laptop is a little slow ( not sure why its an alienware Mx17) but it plays the game fine on all other public servers and on all other games.

when i run a speed test for the internet i get good results (low ping/ high download speed over 20mbs)

so not sure what it is causing the problems.
