Hi there.
I'm currently running a high-end ryzen build (ryzen 5 2600 + gtx1080 + 16GB DDR4 3000Mhz RAM + MSI x470 gaming motherboard) which is much better than a previous build I played arma on.
Though I am getting much better performance in general than my old AMD build, my game freezes (no "not responding" error on windows) for about 30 seconds and then resumes. What's interesting is that thought the video and controls freeze, audio still comes through just fine.
In single player, the game will stop, video freeze, and controls lock up, but I can still hear ambient sounds. In multiplayer, the video will freeze, controls lock up but I can still hear other players talk in real time, so the game is still technically working.
I have absolutely no idea how to fix this. I tried verifying the game cache on steam and a few other basic troubleshooting methods but I'm lost. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
