shredex 1 Posted October 30, 2013 So, yesterday I installed Windows 8.1 on my PC.:icon_neutral: Since then, I get randomly freezes in Arma 3. Doesn't matter if I'm playing SP or MP. No Error-Messages at all. Back on Windows 7 Pro 64bit, everything worked fine. I tried it with different drivers from NVIDIA, changed graphic settings, tried -nobenchmarks, dev-branch.. Only things I installed so far are all drivers, Steam, Arma 3, Avira Antivir. Specs: Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit GeForce GTX 580 (latest driver: 331.65) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz 8GB RAM 120GB SSD 1TB HDD It's kinda frustrating and annoying... Do you guys have the same issue and/or can you help me? Best regards Shredex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kizz 10 Posted February 13, 2014 I have the exact issue on Win 7 64bit Ultimate. I can play between 1 min and 1 hour before my screen freezes, artifacts of random color pixels appear, and I get a crash to desktop, however the game is still running and I have to force it to close via task manager. I've had issues every since the game came out of beta. Arma 3 is the only game I have issues in. I also have an EVGA 580GTX i7 920 at 3.2GHz 12GB GSkill DDR3 SSD Win7 64Bit Ultimate Several people seem to have the same issue with 500 series cards.

kklownboy 43 Posted February 13, 2014 Driver 314.xx may be the one to use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kizz 10 Posted February 13, 2014 I'm already using it. Have been for some time. As I remember, it actually corrupted on install and I had to manually install from Nvidia.com I will try wiping the whole install and rebuilding my install. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furret 0 Posted February 17, 2014 Check temps of components, might be overheating. If running mods/non-default missions: disable them and run vanilla, see if problems persist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nyteblade 10 Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) I've recently downloaded a few new mods however when I activated them through expansions off the main menu and restarted my launcher got stuck at loading addons. I tried moving mods out of the directory one by one and it still wouldn't load so then I decided to move the userconfig folder, I restarted the launcher and it went through fine, then I exited and put the userconfig folder back and the launcher got stuck at loading addons once again, obviously the userconfig folder is the cause of the problem but how can I get it to work since I won't be able to use mods without it. -edit: I fixed the problem there was a mod that didn't work in the mix.
