Editor crashing

Recommended Posts

As i just came back to Arma3 after a short break,i am PLAGUED by this issue..and want to know if anyone else has this problem.

 

When placing multiple groups in editor(vehicles are worse for this) it takes a loooong time to select multiple groups together.The games freezes for about three seconds,or more..and then often flat out crashes with no error message,or freezes indefinetly ,causing me to have to open task manager and shut arma down by ending process.

 

This is with NO Mods enabled...i repeat NOOOO mods atall. All parameters are stock,all files verified by steam and my PC is fine.No viruses,mem tests report nothing amiss,GPU driver up to date etc

 

All other games fine,this is strictly an issue when im in the editor.In game FPS is fine,i never crash.

The last 10-15 times i booted up Arma3,gone to editor,i have crashed within ten minutes...without fail.

 

This is a serious issue,could i please have some input from the Devs on this,or anyone else experiencing this issue to comment.

Looking through the forums i saw just one mention of this so it doesnt seem wide spread but it is very real issue for me atm,and i would love some way to figure out what the issue is.

 

I have no DLCs installed either.

Thanks

Are you in 3D view or 2D?  3D can slow down and even crash with too many objects and too many vegetation, while unzooming, but usually the map comes from a mod.

2D and 3D exhibit the same lag when selecting units.

 

i have crashed as many times in 2D as 3D. If i place down lets say....10 tank squads(40 tanks) and in 2D draw box around them to select them all,it takes about five seconds.If i further try to copy and paste....il be waiting up to 15-20 seconds for the paste to complete....if i dont crash first.

 

I know thats alot of vehicles,but in the 2D editor it should be fine,i could put ten times that number before and all was smooth.

You always have all DLC's installed.

 

If it's an issue that always happens in Vanilla. Then that's probably something for a proper bug report on the feedback tracker. https://feedback.bistudio.com/project/view/1/

Make sure to attach the report (https://feedback.bistudio.com/w/ft_a3_howto/gamecrash/)
