Mechwarrior0311

June 25th!! Right around the corner.

Colonel, I just went to Programs and uninstalled Physx. I AM noticing an improvement since I did that, as in the program hasnt stopped working since. But I have only played two 1 hours sessions since then so I can't say if its an absolute fix or not. Like you, this issue only started with the last update released for the game. I guess we can just hope that the next update fixes the problem.

I guess Im not understanding what you are getting at.... an Nvidia GTX 560 Ti is more than enough to play this game. When I use Autodetect it sets me to "High" , thats what I play at. As far as the shared system memory goes.. I didn't do anything to set that, it did that all on its own. From what I understand I am fine as long as the shared video memory is under half of what my total system memory is, which it is. I have 6GB of DDR3 so with it being at 2.9GB shared, its fine. I dont have any problems on any other game, I don't think that the amount of video memory being used on my PC is the issue here... Do you have any solutions or should I just wait until BIS releases a new patch with a fix for whatever is causing their game to pause and stop working randomly? Also, these are the Arma 3 system requirements: OS – Windows 7 / Vista CPU – Intel Core i5 or AMD Athlon Phenom X4 or faster GPU – Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 or ATI Radeon HD 5770, shader Model 3 and 896 MB VRAM, or faster RAM – 2 GB HDD – 15 GB free space DVD – Dual Layer compatible DirectX® – 10 These are MY system specs Windows 7 64 bit Intel i7 930 Nvidia GTX 560 Ti 6 GB DDR3 2 Terabyte HD ( Also there is no option in the Nvidia CP to turn off Physx, there is only the option to let the application auto decide which to use, or to set it manually to Card or CPU )

Its a 1gb card and shared system memory is closer to 3GB (2.94****) Is that bad? A 1GB card is enough video memory for this game right? I suppose I could uninstall Physx. I guess that could work until they fix the game so that Physx works with the game right? I don't have any problems with any other games whatsoever and this problem with the freezing and stopping working only started since the last update. I uninstalled Physx and I am playing now, will update if it freezes and stops working again..

So anyway, It did not fix the problem entirely. I was just playing Co Op Invade&Annex and after about 1 hour of play it did the same thing. Pause, freeze and stopped working once I Ctrl+Alt+Delete.

Sounds good Twistking

I didnt put a ticket in yet for it, was hoping someone might see it here and pass along the word. You are right though, I probably should. If you want to do it and make a much better one you can use my example I wont mind.

OK! So here is the situation. I was playing on a server named Gunnyswarehouse and we were doing Invade&Annex Co Op. Someone landed a helicopter and shouted over comms "Everyone get in we are preparing for dustoff in 5 mikes!" or something similar. A group of troops such as myself sprinted across the deck towards the helicopter and eagerly filled it. I, being a sniper also leaded with 3 satchel charges, joined in the sprint in an attempt to make this lift to the combat zone. THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM OCCURRED! So anyway, the Explosives Satchel command on my menu was at the TOP OF THE LIST.... so I run over and mousewheel up and I have a "Get in Chopper" action, I click it. BUT LO AND BEHOLD... THE CHOPPER FILLS RIGHT AS I CLICK THE BUTTON! So instead! I click "Place Satchel" because the option to get in chopper DISSAPEARED at that exact nanosecond!!! I had enough time to shout over comms "SON OF A B****!!" before I got the message "YOU ARE BANNED" I have since sorted this out with the Gunnyswarehouse moderators and they reviewed what happened and lifted the ban. But Arma is a tight community and if you are a griefer going around blowing up choppers and you dont do anything about it, you may find yourself banned from a LOT of servers. Admins talk to each other and try and weed out the riffraff. So this message is to Bohemia Interactive. Please put "Place Satchel" at the BOTTOM of the list of actions. You may even want to make it so someone has to click twice. Right now it is far too easy, a simple mis click and its placed and boom. Thanks for taking the time to read my story and I hope for the best! -Mechwarrior0311 :o

The thing with that is, there is no Appdata on Windows 7 Home Premium. When I click on C:\Users\Myusername\ there is no Appdata or Local or Arma 3 here. When I type in Arma 3 Alpha in search I get an Arma 3 Alpha folder and an Arma 3 Alpha Other Profiles folder, but those just contain my profile config files. There is another file similar called Arma3Alpha but it just looks like a game settings config file as well. Could it be because I am using the Steam version? I have no idea where to find it on Steam and I did look briefly. Also I should note here, when I installed Arma 3 it took my computers user name and automatically made a profile using that name. I then went and made a new profile and called it Mechwarrior0311 as that has been my online tag for 10 years almost. My game was crashing aka stopped working so that is why I came here, anyway while trying to follow your advice Masharra, I noticed I still had the old profile and so I deleted both files. I just played a game of Arma 3 after and it DID NOT CRASH so I wonder if its a profile conflict. I urge anyone else who has made a new profile to do the same, type Arma 3 Alpha in your search bar and look for folders containing multiple profile files and then delete the two you arent using. I am not sure if this will be a permanent fix, but the game seemed to run a lot better and I had no crash, I actually stopped playing of my own free will after much enjoyment!

Yes it happens every Co Op mission, Invade&Annex ---------- Post added at 01:06 ---------- Previous post was at 00:55 ---------- Sp I used auto detect settings after updating my graphics driver to 3.20, Nvidia 560 Ti 2gb. In any case, the game froze and stopped working again after about 20 minutes. In this state the game is unplayable even for testing purposes. I hope someone finds a solution sometime soon!
