This thread above says he cured it? Bit random but worth a shot.

windows 7 64 bit.

this also happens every so often with everyone i play with... i just tell them to start there own server/ load a showcase etc. that fix's it. almost like it refreshes something i guess idk

edit: also it only does it with 1 server(not 1 server in particular just the you've been playing on for a couple hours) it'll crash over and over until i join a different server or do the above

Could you find the crash information at the end of your .RPT file or in the Windows Event Viewer and post it here?

Seems to be happening to me today too. Am on the Dev build running Windows 8 x64.

[uber3999 10]

Im on stable and dev both cause crash's with or without mods. I've tried both.

And also it happens in large groups like we will all be running around and bam everyone without 200m of us will crash. idk if its 200m exactly just viewing distance i guess... idk games weird sometimes. again with and without mods... I'll pack up all my dumps for you to look at.. i have a lot. some are mod related some arent as i test mods working together before i allow them on my server.

Here's all my thingy's. I know some crash's are mod related but it happens even without mods.

I also run a server so i could give you those logs too if you need them.. but they are super large like 14 gigs.( should i just delete it) i could just do a search through the log if you tell me what to look for.

I think its the Bone Structure errors since my buddy mentioned he gets the same errors when his game crash's when he joins a server.

When it crashes it usually crashes for a bunch of people on the server at once and will crash on login (after lobby) from then on but not if you join a different server.

So that means as funny as some solutions seem they make sense.

Something (that has to get fixed) seems to corrupt something in the mission file on client side.

So what works for me is joining another server past lobby until I spawn to force arma to recieve a new mission file.

Then exit and load back into your recent server.

NOW arma is forced to reload this mission file and it seems to overwrite the broken one from before...until whatever event caused it happens again.

(I assume the same thing happens with the other solutions described here. Entering editor or singleplayer might force the reload of the mission file when going multiplayer again.)

The explanation is all speculation but it works for me so I don't think I'm too far off.

Good luck!
