I'd say wait a year or so. So they have some time to fix PhysX3_x86.dll crashes. Because if one of you are unlucky you will crash randomly for no known reason all the time without a known fix. Basically makes it unplayable.

Yeah still crashing post release on the stable version. Atm this thread is in the top ten most viewed in troubleshooting. Some attention to this issue by the devs would be nice because many of us are sitting with a product that don't work. And by the looks of it we can't do anything about it. Have a ticket about my crashes here: http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=12532

Afaik, ArmA 3 physx is only cpu and impossible to have it run on your gpu. Have tried those options though, kept crashing anyway. Think I've tried everything possible and left a ticket with all logs a couple months back. If i keep crashing come release I'll just take a long brake and see if another six months will see any fix.

Yeah still crashing as per usual. Would be nice to hear a word on it from someone official. Like what's causing it and if you are working on any fix or just any info at all really. I mean it cant be that hard to find the fault with so many crash logs and feedback tickets etc on the subject, right? Esp since it has been ongoing for more then six months now. I know it's a beta and all but it kinda feels like preaching to deaf ears when you don't hear anything back.

As for topic, i love this game so damn much! I always play and make decisions just like i would in real life. That means no rambo play-style etc and this game really reward such play-style. If you find it to be boring then maybe this simply isn't the type of game for you? Or maybe try some action packed mod. My complaint would be that we didn't get the TOH stuff. Bought TOH and X52 pro with pedals just to prepare for ArmA3 and i really loved how the helicopters handled in that game, you could have so much control over it. Oh and i also hate the PhysX3_x86.dll crash with passion. Makes it almost unplayable. And my ticket about it is still unanswered for 23 days and counting. Are you referring to this? "Various tweaks to PhysX and related performance" Had two separate PhysX crashes just today so i wouldn't call it fixed.

I've had similar crashes ever since first playing Alpha six months back, have a thread about it here. And the newly released Nvidia 326.80 BETA drivers with the included PhysX 09.13.0725 and Microsoft .NET Framework 4 seem to have done the trick for me. Been playing for 15+ hours now without a single crash. I highly recommend anyone having these crashes to try it out. Edit: Spoke to soon, still getting Physx crashes

So i've been having this issue ever since my first time playing Arma 3 which is about 6 months ago. I join a game and i randomly get APPCRASH. Some times it takes 20 minutes and other times i can play for a few hours. No crash has anything to do with another in terms of something i do in game, it just stutters and quickly freezes, forcing me to ctr+alt+del and end it. I've tried everything i can think of, like re:installing, removed old drivers, tried other driver versions, changed video settings etc. System specs: Windows 7 Gigabyte p67A-D3-B3 i5-2500k Corsair SSD Force 3 Series 120GB Asus GeForce GTX 580 1536MB Matrix Corsair SSD Force 3 This is the oldest error message i have saved, dating 5-6 months back: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: arma3.exe Application Version: 0.52.103.279 Application Timestamp: 5149ee57 Fault Module Name: arma3.exe Fault Module Version: 0.52.103.279 Fault Module Timestamp: 5149ee57 Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Offset: 002c1ea0 OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1 Here's one from two days ago: Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: arma3.exe Application Version: 0.74.108.135 Application Timestamp: 51ee90e3 Fault Module Name: arma3.exe Fault Module Version: 0.74.108.135 Fault Module Timestamp: 51ee90e3 Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Offset: 005aa910 OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1 And one from today: Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: arma3.exe Application Version: 0.74.108.135 Application Timestamp: 51ee90e3 Fault Module Name: arma3.exe Fault Module Version: 0.74.108.135 Fault Module Timestamp: 51ee90e3 Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Offset: 00a3ae1d OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1 Do any of you have any suggestions to what i could try next? Would really appreciate any help on this as i love playing Arma but this kinda kills it for me.

The newly released Nvidia 326.80 BETA drivers with the included PhysX 09.13.0725 and Microsoft .NET Framework 4 seem to have done the trick for me. I have at least been able to play for about 15 hours now without crashing like i used to. Really hoping this actually fixed it for good. Will report back if i get the crashes again. I get the same millisecond stutter i used to get before i crashed(had it happen maybe 3 times in 15 hours) but now it seems i don't crash. Edit: Spoke to soon, still crashing like i used to.

Thanks a lot man, exactly what i wanted to test out Altis with!

I'll do that but I've reinstalled a few times already so i don't have much hope. No overclock on my part yet. I do find it weird that it would be a hardware issue as i play a lot of games and never had any problems with either PhysX or crashes in general. CPU runs at around 50-70 °C and my GPU at 60-70 °C during play with pretty high overall settings. As for PhysX version, i use 09.13.06.04 that came with Nvidia driver 320.49 atm. I'll give PhysX to CPU a try though. I play and crash in pretty much every mod there is. Kinda like CTI the most but as i crash so often i cant play in any organized squad/team or any progress based mod so nowadays i pretty much only play King of the hill by my self. I did check that thread out but as my crashes don't always have the error address as PhysX i thought i had something else going on here. Anyway, thanks a lot for the input in the thread. I'll do some testing later tonight and see if anything changes

Thanks, I'll try run memtest and play with -maxmem and see if it helps. Everything is updated and all temperatures are normal when playing. @Comp_uter, running 64bit

I will do that right away, thanks.

Still unplayable and not a word or anything on my ticket at http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=12532 for 17 days now. I don't mind spending several hours to sort this out on my own but I'm at a point here where i can't do anything because I've done everything i can think of. Is there anyone in the community that could help point me in the right directions as to what i could try?

Reported it as a feedback issue here http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=12532 Would still love to hear any suggestions at all on something i can try my self. I'll post some random error dumps as well.
