[Lshorty 10]

well, when I launch the arma 3 alpha it works on the loading screen then it takes me back to my desktop (windows 8) and a message comes up in the bottom right corner saying my drives have stopped working but have fully recovered please help.

Drivers? or Drives? I would think its Drivers, like for your Video card. Post more info about your computer.

I guess he's talking about "Display driver stopped responding and has successfully recovered" error. Yeah, I get that too, often.

Here is another thread describing something similar: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?147520-ArmA-3-Black-Screen-Display-Drivers-Stopped-Working

try to disable all the overlays before starting.

so msi afterburner overlay, steam overlay, etc.

Disable Windows Aero theme and it wont show anymore :) At least i havent encountered the error since i did that.

Dont need flashy windows animations to play arma anyway.
