Arma 3 Alpha Lite crash at launch

[mister2cc 10]

Hi all,

I haven't been so lucky to even see the intro screen of the game, as it crashes at launch. I click on the exe file, wait some second and then nothing, the application crashes.

Any help? Does anybody experienced and solved it already?

Thanks!

Exact same thing here, why no answers or ideas on this problem?

[dale 11]

are you running fraps or xfire? both are common crashes to games.

If your running fraps, or even any kind of recording software, you have to wait for the game to start and then start up your recording software.

Xfire you should delete anyway as its slowly being decommissioned.

Try using -nobenchmark command line option. Right click on Arma III in your Steam Library>Properties>Set launch options

I heard that fixes some crashes issues.

Thanks, I am not using any recording software. The crash starts the minute I click on play from the steam list. I will try the -nobenchmark command.

Ok, -nobenchmark command did not help.

for those having the "display driver has recovered" ctd when runing arma3alpha

I was having these same issues at first,

I have a minor tweak fix for you guys to try, it seemed to work on my end.

IMPORTANT: if your using nvidea update your video driver to 314.22

1) right click arma3alpha.exe > properties >Compatibility tab > under settings tick the box Disable display scaling on high DPI settings.

2) if this doesn't work then try also to add this batch command line parameter: set __COMPAT_LAYER=Win98 1024×768

3) use a .bat to launch arma 3

this is how my arma3alpha.bat looks using @allinarma mod you may need to change some paths/settings depending on what you are using.

rem
rem         Adjust the path with your local path
rem

set ARMA3_PATH=C:\Games\ArmA3
set ARMA2_PATH=C:\Games\ArmA2
set ARMA2OA_PATH=C:\Games\ArmA2OA


rem        Define your additional modfolders

set CUSTOM_MODS=@CBA_A3;@AllInArma;@mad_build;@mad_resh

rem        Adjust your parameters

set DEFAULT_PARAMETERS=-nosplash -skipintro -world=empty -noFilePatching
set DEVELOPMENT_PARAMTERS=-window -showScriptErrors
set PROFILE_PARAMETERS="-profiles=%ARMA3_PATH%" "-name=administrator"

set __COMPAT_LAYER=Win98 1024×768

rem
rem DONT MODIFY ANYTHING BELOW
rem

cd /D "%ARMA3_PATH%"

arma3.exe %DEFAULT_PARAMETERS% %DEVELOPMENT_PARAMTERS% %PROFILE_PARAMETERS% "-mod=%CUSTOM_MODS%;@AllInArma\ProductDummies;%TKOH_PATH%;%ARMA2_PATH%;%ARMA2OA_PATH%;%ARMA2OA_PATH%\Expansion;%ARMA3_PATH%;@AllInArma\Core;@AllInArma\PostA3"

exit

hope this helps
