Random CTD

[Rawshark 11]

So I've noticed that on occasion when playing on multiplayer servers (I&A) my Arma 3 will randomly crash to desktop, leaving no error message or pop-up or anything. Its happened a few times and always when flying a VTOL aircraft; generally about 12 mins into flying the aircraft my game would freeze (external textures would glitch) for about 3-4 seconds and I'll crash to desktop. 

Im running Win10
i7-8700K CPU
16GB RAM
1080Ti Graphics card

Mods running: JSRS Soundmod

Attached RPT: https://justpaste.it/2wssf && https://justpaste.it/48axq

Any ideas what's going on or how I can fix this?

Cheers

Hi,

Error messages dont necessarily have to showup on screen, really depends on the issue, most issues will be found in the rpt

from your rpt:

18:29:56 Sound: Error: File: jsrs_soundmod_snd_land_vehicles\sounds\noises\exterior\tracked_raining_ext.ogg not found !!!

could always go into JSRS mod and remove that pbo---->  jsrs_soundmod_snd_land_vehicles.pbo

idk if it will change anything. Heres what i suggest

 

Try the following to see if anything changes:

• Try another server, if same issue then its not the server.
• Play without the sound mod, again if same issue then its not the mod.
• Try another mission.
• Turn off the rpt so it dont spam.

Btw what is the speed of your ram?

Hey thanks, I will give those options a try and hopefully have the issue fixed or at least narrow down the cause. I have dual DDR4-2132 Mhz (1066Mhz) RAM so, I think that should be sufficient to handle ARMA but the odd visual glitch/freezing before the crash is very reminiscent of the old 3fps bug that use to hit ARMA before the 64-bit upgrade. I'll try playing without the soundmod to see if its the source of the CTD but it's really odd if that is what is causing it.

Anways, thanks for your help.

Hey sorry for the super late reply but removing JSRS did seem to work. I haven't noticed any random CTDs without it running.

Good deal!

What i would recommend is to go to the JSRS thread and let LordJarhead know about the issue you were having and whatever has caused

it he can look into, tho do provide as much as details and information as possible including the rpt.

For crashes always collect the crashdumps and create a Feedback Tracker issue. If Arma crashes it's Arma's fault. A mod isn't supposed to be able to crash the game.
