I can't play this game and I can't create a new thread to discuss my problem, so I must do so here.
Alright so first off here's what happens.
I'll be playing Arma 3, even in a showcase in singleplayer and my screen will go black and a window will come up saying Arma 3 has stopped working and I have to close it. This is infuriating and makes the game unplayable. Here's what I've done so far: I contacted steam support after I did everything I knew to fix it, their support was unable to help me unfortunately and I was told to contact Bohemia Interactive Support. I went to this website, and sent in a message saying this EXACTLY:
Hello,
Almost every round of Sa-Matra's Wasteland I played ended with me crashing. What happened was my game would visually freeze, the audio would play for a second or two, freeze again, resume for a second and then my game shut down. I contacted steam support and they tried to help me but we could not resolve the issue, and I was told to come here.(Picture of our discussion is attached) I decided to read what I saw about fixing the issue before I decided to bother your support about it because that would be a waste of your time. Once I flushed my steam config via internet explorer using "steam://flushconfig" and then completely re-installed the game, the issue was resolved. Later I began to play PLAYERUNKOWN's Battle Royale and this issue arose again. I did the same thing I did earlier which was to flush my steam config and re-install the game but the issue continued. Also with the most recent update the same issue is happening when my friends and I play Zeus mode together which leads me to believe the mod is not responsible. I then contacted Battle Royale support, described my issue to them and this is what we tried:
1. We checked my launch paramters (set to -mod=@PUBattleRoyale;) and they were correct.
2. I play another mod called Breaking Point and we thought that might be affecting this so we took the @BreakingPoint folder out of my steamapps\common\Arma 3 folder.
3. To the support my issue sounded like a graphical glitch and we made sure all of my drivers were up to date. I have a GTX 770 and my current driver version is: 335.23
4. I was told it may be a connection issue which made me remember that a few days ago I couldn't connect to the internet for some reason and that was fixed once I reset my modem. I was told that as simple as it sounds, restarting the router has fixed this same issue for other people that have been having this problem. I said that it probably wasn't the same issue for me as my brother has played game after game without ever crashing, but I did it anyway.
None of these have fixed my issue yet and it still remains, I really would like to fix this issue as it's impossible to play currently.
If you need ANY information I will happily give it to you
Thank you,

This message was sent at 4/12/14 and I am yet to receive a response. I am persistent on getting this issue fixed and frustrated with my lack of support :mad:.
As of today I have completely reinstalled Arma 3 twice and have also flushed my steam config, set my launch parameters to -cpuCount=8; and nothing has worked so far.
I will be doing anything and everything I can to get this issue fixed. I was unable to create a new thread, probably because my account was just created or I do not have the required post-count or something similar. I really need help with this issue and am hoping I will receive a response soon.
Thank you,
