Yesterday I found out that I got this error after the latest Windows 10 update. My situation is a brand new PC with a new Windows 10 installation. More than enough specs to run Arma 3 with all settings to maximum. Almost no extra software on the machine and suddenly I got a windows freeze. Sometimes I could play for 5 minutes and then only 1 minute or even during start of a new round on a public KOTH server. It was very annoying and reminded me to my old PC where I had similar problems long time ago. But this time on my brand new machine.... WT@#$@! During the freeze you can do an Alt-Tab and see a window with the message: Arma 3 has exited in an unusual manner Exit code: "0xC0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION" I was thinking what could be the problem. I had removed some USB cables a couple of days before, maybe switched them to another port? One of them was my steel series wireless headphone. So I was suspecting this one. Checked the configuration of the steel series and updated the profile settings. The problem was still there. Then I tried some other things, like apply user full control to the common Arma3 folder. Didn't help. I tried to remove the !workshop folder with a couple of mods. Didn't help. Then the drastic remove of the complete Arma3 folder and did a complete new fresh install. OMG, my wife complaining she couldn't get on the internet since it blocked the complete internet traffic hahaha... after 20 minutes the download was ready. Started Arma, problem still there. At this time I was losing patience. The last thing I tried was something I saw before on a website and was mentioned by a friend and teammate. It was the startup parameter: -malloc=system (this says arma has to leave the memory allocation to the system) After I did this the problem was gone! YES I tried to play on a private internet server and then a public KOTH server. Played for a hour with no problems. The only thing that bothers me is what could have caused this problem. A week before I could play for hours without any problem and suddenly this strange thing happend. Hmmm.... maybe an 'old code' issue? For those who have this problem, please don't follow all the instructions you can find on the internet and do drastic things blindly. A special warning goes to the regedit tips. Don't do this! Steps: In steam rightclick on Arma3 Choose Properties On the first tab General you see Launch Options enter this option: -malloc=system Hope for you this does the trick like it did for me! Cheers
