Arma Tactics crashes and takes Windows with it

knister · October 1, 2013

The steam version is very unstable for me.

I got multiple blue screens while trying to play the game and experienced what may be a some display driver crashes (screen turns black for a few seconds).

And when I turn on the advanced graphics I get a blue screen within seconds.

The crashes appear to be absolutley random and appart from Arma Tactics my computer runs everything else absolutley fine.
