I have random crashes to desktop too with ARMA3 has stopped responding, but the game runs really nicely otherwise. It seems more common in multiplayer but it did the same on infantry showcase today too. hard to diagnose since it's completely random as far as I can tell. I know it's in alpha but was hoping there'd be some workaround like lowering graphics settings but I haven't found anything that works yet. My system is a i5 3750k @ 4.4GHz, GTX570, 8GB DDR3 @ 1600 and game is running from Samsung 830SSD. Most other games seem very stable so I don't think it's my rig.

I've had some problems getting into multiplayer as a noob. I've dabbled a bit in ARMA single player in the past and the editor is a stroke of genius but I really wanted to start playing mp with ARMA 3. Unfortunately my experience has not been good so far. I tried a co-op mission which spawned me miles from my squad with the squad leader constantly nagging me to return to formation as I tried to get to him as fast as I could. Got bored after a few minutes of that trying to catch up to the squad. Then I tried a wasteland server which helpfully had dots over friendly targets. I saw one guy without a dot so I shot him... then the game told me to apologise for a teamkill. I left that server before getting hated on by everyone for TK. I'm trying not to let bad experiences put me off but it does seem quite daunting. I wonder if some friendly people could point me in the right direction.
