is there a way to disable respawn on start WITHOUT having to edit a text file? because if I just plop down the respawn markers and name em respawn_west or anything else, I just spawn in the ocean despite having a preferred starting character and position
got the text file part figured out, now just gotta figure out how to stop ravage or the system itself from respawning where I die
aaand figured that out. had to add a respawn delay timer
also, just realized I was posting my issues in the wrong channel. I am sorry about this

Hey guys, I'm trying to set up a dedicated Antistasi server with a few mods, but when we go into the server, units have "null" as price and most vehicles are free...

Does it happen in other missions/scenarios? If it doesn't then the mission is breaking it

HI EVERYONE my friends are tying to join my game but arma 3 keeps telling us server not responding or straight up not showing their server
we are just trying to play apex protocol :{
fringe salmon
@supple crystal It's happening in an invasion gamemode
I'll check it in the virtual arsenal
Works fine in arsenal

then its the mission file breaking it
report it to the dev if you didn't make your own edits

Odd though
there is no reason or way for it to break it

Im experiencing very bad response time from triggers all the sudden.. i use triggers to activate hide/show modules for objects as player enter/exit the area. This has always worked very good but in the last few days the triggers or hide/show modules seem to really lag out.
Ive been using the same mod line and before it worked fine but now a trigger set to unhide a area instantly now all of the sudden has like a 30-50 second delay.
Has anything changed in the last few weeks or to cause this or could it be down to server lag (thou we have another community running liberation on same dedi with the same mod line and they have not reported and lag). Any suggestion as to what could be the cause all the sudden, two weeks ago we did not have the problem
tall palm
2 weeks ago hotfix was released, but it had nothing to do with triggers https://dev.arma3.com/post/spotrep-00092
undone zodiac
Trigger or Hide/Show modules still work as they should in editor but once on dedi then they have a massive delay to active ...for the life of me i cant figure out what is causing it
tall palm
Can you give example so I can set it up on dedi and test?
undone zodiac
ok... place items say in a house along with hand full of AI...create a layer and named say OBJ1.
- Create 200m sized trigger for player not present and link to hide module and set to layer
OBJ1 - Create 200m sized trigger for player present and link to show module and set to layer
OBJ1
Player enters trigger all is undhidden, shoot some badguys
then exits trigger and all remaining item are hidden.
I do it this way to have detailed scenes were needed but to then hide them if no players in the area
tall palm
So where exactly delay occurs?
undone zodiac
so for me as i walk into the trigger ... i set it up so the items being revealed aren't seen by players but no i enter trigger and only after 30-40 seconds later do i see the item spawn in
i usually test by entering trigger then going spectator to see if it worked as intended ... so it does but with massive delay
tall palm
So spectator causes delay but if you enter trigger as player it doesnβt?
undone zodiac
no, spectator is only used to double check if layers are unhidden instead of running there to check.
the delay seems to occur somewhere between entering trigger and items being unhide
where it was instantly as it should be ... its now like 30sec+.
Could it be todo with the amount of items in said layer
tall palm
And when you exit do they hide without delay?
undone zodiac
i havent checked to see if that is the case
tall palm
Can you check it?
undone zodiac
i will in a bit
im doing a campaign of three small missions tonight and testing all of them now...the one im having issues with is the very first mission. It would seem the layers with only a few items in unhides fine ..but im currenty on the second mission, ill load the one in question and test to see if they lag as i exit
undone zodiac
mmm..delay now seems to be about 2-3 sec...so normal..ill do some more testing, seems problem might be intermediate π€
undone zodiac
something is bugging out here...there is even a delay on opening doors, it would seem that laggy trigger and door is a symptom of the main issue
desert isle
I think something else to ask is "what else is going on in the mission"? How many objects, what else is being called, is anything being spawned, etc, etc. Or are we talking about 1 trigger, 1 player and 1 object? Or are we talking about 1 trigger, 1 player and 5k objects?
tall palm
try opening debug console and executing diag_fps on the server
supple crystal
@fringe salmon The are plenty of reasons for it to break it's Arma, if it doesn't happen in any other mission with the same mods loaded then it has to be the mission

Hey. When i try binding my Joystick Throttle to the Plane Thrust Analog, it only recognises half of the throttle. So i flip the throttle lever up to 50% and nothing happens, anything above, it accelerates the plane. Hope someone knows a solution.

@inland ocean stupid question but often overlooked/not done, did you try to restart your game

yes
I even restarted my computer, it seems to be working now. Maybe it's because I'm trying to stream it.

aaaaaah yes, might very well be!
streaming is a strain on hardware, let alone low-end hardware as you stated
inland ocean
@brave hawk it was the streaming
wise barn
@inland ocean got a second PC/laptop with a CPU that can handle SSSE3?
if so, install OBS on both plus the NDI plugin. set your gaming PC as NDI streaming source (no performance issues/hit) and your second PC as NDI receiver. the second PC will receive the NDI feed from your game rig and also does the heavy lifting of encoding for streaming. this is a 2 PC streaming setup without a capture card

That might be related to GPU running out of memory

inland ocean
@rocky pelican not unless they were to back up the files

copying and pasting them in another location meanwhile?
inland ocean
that usually works when backing up files, or moving them into a folder away from the game
I usually do it with a flash drive just to ensure it doesnt pull them from that folder π
if need be, i would also back up the launcher or the mod downloader to save the trouble of going back and finding it again
*plus you can upload it to another pc with no trouble

@rocky pelican how much ram does he have?
What you are describing is the "out of memory emergency mode"

16 should be good, make sure he's running 64bit arma, and no "bad" mods. I cannot tell you which mods are bad, but if he's running alot, then there might be a bad one in there

My guess is Turtle Beach

is it driven by USB (wired/wireless) or 3.5mm jacks?
if it's a USB headset and you're on win 10, there is not much you can do. MS screwed up fubar with 2017 autumn update and USB audio devices.
you got two options if you want to keep the headset:
- revert back to win8.1
- (not sure if it works for you) remove all traces of realtek drivers and software and disable the onboard sound card in bios

Hey guys. Me and a few friends have a dedicated server, but even as admin we can't change the ACE Nightvision settings. They go back to 1 the moment we hit okay... How do I change this ? We're using ACE No Medical, if that makes any difference, and CBA. I've exported the settings after changing them, but have no idea what to do with them...

@fringe salmon You would want to go into the server's game directory, specifically userconfig and find your ace folder inside. In there should be a config file where you can replace all of the settings with your own.

@fringe salmon ACE diagnose export is not settings. You need to go to addon settings same as with cba settings (cuz thats what ace uses)
fringe salmon
@dreamy bough @quaint jewel So I need to change 2 different files?? mission.sqm, and whichever config is in userconfig ? Because the addon settings AREN'T saved when I'm in the server as an admin, hence guessing this has to be done through the files and asking about those 2

you "need to" change no file at all normally. Normally you go to settings while logged in as admin, and just change server settings
you can also set them in 3DEN when editing the mission
fringe salmon
Yeah, that's not working

as I told you, please contact commy, he wrote the settings system he can help you diagnose the issue

Hello.
I have a problem with sound in Arma 3.
The sounds in the menu, the sounds of the interface, the music I hear normally.
The sounds of steps, vehicles, shots I hear only in the left earphone.
It is very difficult to determine the side from where the transport goes or the enemy shoots, because these sounds are only in one headphone.
I have a Logitech G933 headset.
In other games, everything is fine.
Help me please.
weary sky
Try to disable surround sound in the Logitech software (so set to Stereo instead of 7.1 5.1 3.1 whatever)
weary sky
The problem is that some USB headsets with surround don't work correctly, and only play sounds on the left side with certain games or specific cases.
This can be solved by forcing it to Stereo mode (which usually is done through software or Windows settings), or reinstalling the sound drivers.
It's a known problem (and not only for Arma)

I did it.
I change it to "2 Channels, 24 Bit, 48000 Hz (Studio Quality)"

Why are the kerbs/curbs so "sharp" that they'll stop virtually all vehicles dead in their tracks regardless of type or physical wheel size.
I'd expect an almighty bump but a dead stop potentially killing you is a pita
This never used to be the case, but iirc the vehicle physx change introduced it
I can plow over cobble stone walls of varying height without a hint of issue in comparison
weary sky
Not sure if you ever tried to drive a real car with 50km/h against curbs like that... It will destroy your wheels instantly (been there, done that).
So yes, Arma is not realistic when it stops the car instead of killing the wheels, but you won't be driving for long or with any speed either.
And that other objects are broken (as in, don't affect the vehicle/speed) is something else.
fading pulsar
I'm aware it'd destroy the wheels, but the mass of the vehicle wouldn't allow the vehicle to stop on a dime π

no hamachi is needed for that. just the server URL, port and maybe a password
fringe salmon
They dont have a dedicated server. Its via LAN
supple crystal
you still don't need hamanchi to host or join a server that's hosted on a clients machine either via the ingame hosting or via the dedi, its probably something to do with the hosting client not having porting set up properly.

I can assure you non of us are running cracked clients, if you want proof I can send over our steam library,
He's with me, I'm the owner, and the reason we use Hamachi is because my internet router does not work with manual port forwarding, and we do not have a dedicated sever

does it happen on a normal server without hamanchi, like a koth server or offical zeus server
fringe salmon
i dont get any errors with dedicated servers
supple crystal
if it doesn't then hamanchi is the problem
fringe salmon
and i did play with my other friend and we used hamachi and i had no problems
its just now when im trying to join their server it dosent work
supple crystal
still means its a hamanchi problem not an arma problem

Guys, help me pls. I changed config of car, tried to launch mod with this car and got this error. Then i deleted this mod, rebooted my PC, verifeid my steam game files but it didnt help. What should i do? https://imgur.com/eW6HTsz

@hard sierra did you verify your game files? and is the mod your own or from workshop?
if from wrokshop whatever you did to it was probably the wrong way and broke it
hard sierra
Yes, i definitely broke it. But i delited this mod and tried to launch game without this mod
uncut trellis
did you delete it or unsubscribe from it?
hard sierra
Deleted from my PC. I made a copy of this mod, so unsubscribing from workshop wont help
uncut trellis
no idea about that. does sound like you went about editing it totally wrong way
hard sierra
I just changed max speed, engine power and few more characteristics
It is very strange becourse i deleted all files i made and trying to launch arma without mods
Wtf i removed few ticks in launcher settings and in has been repaired. Thank you everyone, who tried to help me! (And sorry for my bad english)
uncut trellis
what you did was the wrong way to edit mods.
perhaps the launcher was still looking for the mod you deleted.

Hey all. I've recently been getting a PC blue screen when launching Arma 3. I've made a brief video explaining the issue. If you have any potential fixes and/or any futher information which may help please let me know and tag me. https://youtu.be/B8ioEZHGnyI
weary sky
that sounds more like a Windows issue than Arma, and as far as I can find it's either memory related, harddrive related or a virus which messes up one of them.
searching for the error gives a lot of websites with potential fixes, like https://windowsreport.com/kernel-security-check-failure-windows/
amber canyon
Thanks. I will have a look into it. Theres a lot of potential for a numerous number of issues which really does not help but I will work my way through them and try to find a fix.

Hey guys, i have been playing with tanks and apcs (with ai in the vehicle) over the recent days and a problem has re-emergerd that i have had forgotten about. I have a problem with the turret controls when either aquiring "Manual Fire" as commander OR when repeatably switching between the commander and gunner position.
Problem:
As commander with manual fire enable, moving the turrent in one direction always ends with a jump/spin back of the turret in the opposite direction. This makes aiming very tiresome. If i disable manual fire the turret (my viewpoint) behaves correctly again. If i switch between gunner and commander a couple of times, the same behaviour can happen in the commander position without manual fire and in the gunner position as well. I have tested this with no mods and a fresh user profile to make sure i have no weird double bindings setup myself.
uncut trellis
Got any controllers plugged in?
hollow saffron
not at the moment. Arma only shows trackIR which i have disabled in the settings.
uncut trellis
Are the ai grouped to you?
hollow saffron
The ai is fine, they are not moving the vehicle or turning the turret. This still happens even if i have them disembark.
uncut trellis
That's rather weird thing. Do you have free look on?
I recall someone else having same issue way back though. Can't remember what the cause was.
hollow saffron
i have controlled for that as well. On off doesn't matter. Just to be clear. Which ever turrent you look through in a tank in whatever role, aiming should be as precise as with infantry except for the slight inertia of the moving turret.
?
alright, i found the culprit....i should have know!!! Damn logitech Setpoint. I have some investigation to do what on earth this handy but troublesome piece of software does here.
hollow saffron
So the issues revolves around the key " /[Num] ". Its not really about the logitech software afterall, but whenever that key is pressed on the numpad section of my keyboard, i have this behaviour. I usually use that key (bound on my mouse) as the "default action" key. But even when unbinding that in arma and disabling the logitech software, pressing that key gives the same weird behaviour. Which makes me think that key is hardcoeded in arma for some function that eludes me right now. Any idea what /[Num] might be hardcoded to?
uncut trellis
did you check in game keybind setup?
hollow saffron
yep, no special binding. I moved my arma user profile so that arma setup a new, even with an empty keybinding profile, same behaviour. I think i need to rearch the forums for this key on the numpad.
But at least now i know what the issue is and if there is no solution i can easily work around it.
Would you be so kind and try this yourself when you have the time? It seems like it doesn't seem to matter whether /[Num] is bound to anything in arma or not. Jump into a tank and look through a turret as commander or gunner and move the mouse around. And then press /[Num] once and move the mouse around again.
hollow saffron
So i tested this on my brothers machine and there is the same behaviour. So either the "division" key on the numpad has some special function in windows or the amd graphics driver or soemthing, or its one of those hardcoded arma quirks one just has to work around.

Anyone ever stumbled on this kind of strange behaviour with vehicle creation?
The following sript under the hood makes it possible for players to create vehicles in multiplayers missions:
_createVeh = createVehicle [_classname, (player getPos [8, direction player]), [], 0, "NONE"];
_createVeh setDir direction player +90;```
The position of the created vehicle will be 8 meters from the player (and in the direction where the player will be looking at the moment of the vehicle's creation) with the additional angle adjustment of 90 degrees. This works for let's say 95% of the time.
But then there's some edge cases where the created vehicle spawns 10-30 meters away from the player and often not even directly to the front of the player (which it should do at all times).I think it might be these which are causing your issue,
"NONE" - will look for suitable empty position near given position (subject to other placement params) before placing vehicle there.
"CAN_COLLIDE" - places vehicle at given position (subject to other placement params), without checking if others objects can cross its 3D model.
"FLY" - if vehicle is capable of flying and has crew, it will be made airborne at default height.

@frank apex
Thanks for the reply. I'm a bit skeptical that the issue I described there earlier would be caused by the parameters you mention. Well in some part it could be but I'm seeing this more as a map problem. Here's a short example video of what I'm talking about
https://youtu.be/vAv8yMLlFDc
frank apex
Did you try it with "CAN_COLLIDE"?
viral cargo
Just tried yes. The created vehicles spawn where they should with "CAN_COLLIDE". Might be a problem with some map objects π€·πΌββοΈ
frank apex
Probably an issue with the command thinking the trees are bigger then they appear
Probably based on the size of the trees at their max width
uncut trellis
it probably reads the object footprint and not the geometry
as in just a 2D check
instead of 3D space check
afaik thats just how its intended to work
you could create the object in a safezone and setposATL it to where player looks
viral cargo
@frank apex I tested some of the trees individually by placing them in the editor in the VR map but with the trees I tested I was unable to duplicate this issue π€·πΌββοΈ
@uncut trellis I did some testing with setPosATL. It worked as in the created vehicles spawned where I was looking. But adjusting the position with setPosATL also did away with the collision check which meant that vehicles spawned so close to other objects that stuff went literally flying
uncut trellis
I guess that is just how it works by design

Hello guys. So, for some reason, Arma 3 has been very strange ever since yesterday. I started playing after ~2 weeks of being inactive, and I've had a couple of problems:
-
When I'm in game and I alt-tab, the PC would switch the program but then the display would blink/flicker after 0.5-1 second of switching. Think of how your display turns black when you alt tab into/from a fullscreen program. Same thing here but it's much shorter and more annoying.
-
The Arma 3 Launcher crashed yesterday for the first time after 3 years of Arma 3 while I was in game. I've got the crash log file on my desktop. System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
-
Yesterday, when I started up Arma 3, my Windows theme switched to Classic. I was able to get it back to the normal Aero after an hour of fixing it, but for some reason, transparent stuff in my wallpaper background isn't black, but it's now white.

Never happened to me in the past 3 years. Only happened when I launched Arma 3 after 2 weeks of not playing
Oh, and FYI, I'm on Windows 7, the superior OS
supple crystal
Still sounds like a windows problem, you can try verifying game files.
Windows 7 has always had an issue with changing from aero to classic, something in the OS thinks that aero uses up more performance than classic and it triggers when gaming even when the game isn't using 100% usage of your hardware.

IFA3 is actually known for breaking stuff (we currently run it on our server, or try to...)
Best is to simply go through all the mods and see which one is causing the issue; either by testing (add one mod at a time), or go through the source code and see which one is trying to mess with ACE.
And of course... missions can do a lot of damage as well.

Massive, zip-bomb levels memory leak from Arma 3
Last night I was doing Zeusing for a community group. We had ~12 people online. The crew of the Blackfoot found an enemy Offroad (AT) car heading towards the friendly APC, and so he fired an ATGM towards it. The moment the missile hit and the offroad exploded, I had an absolutely massive memory leak. Here are the pictures:

iirc its an issue with steamCMD,. it will only work if you have 2fa setup to email you the codes and not through the Steam Mobile app,. it's stupid and broken that it doesn't work using the 2fa codes produced with their own app and has been an issue for a number of years..

2F codes from mobile are valid for steamCMD.
According to Arma Tools Manual it should open black console window where I should enter it. But it does not. It waiting for code, but I have no field to enter it.

Hey everyone, I got a pretty big glitch I can't figure out, I think its ACE related
Sometimes when me or someone in my group gets shot and temporarily loses counsciousness
upon waking up they're stuck prone, shaking up and down really annoyingly, with no way to move
the weirdest thing is, the context menu shows the "treat yourself" option
even though ace disables it
anyone run into this before?

or any mod which might cause issues with ACE (eg. compatibility mods)

something that helps with battleye client not responding?

It's likely not related to the compat mods tho
It happened with another modpack too
that only had RHS

it happens much more often further into the game
2h in virtually every down glitches
weary sky
and you're sure it's not reopened wounds, issues with heart rate or broken blood pressure?

what?
how could that cause violent screen jerking
or ace being inaccesible
or even being able to access vanilla medical stuff

that sounds like a mod/mission issue, and not ACE
young sundial
it happens with every mission
weary sky
although shaking is normal in ACE due to blood issues or wounds
young sundial
not that kind of shaking

it does when another mod/script is messing with ACE
young sundial
literally your whole view shakes up and down like 30 degrees at a time
and you cant move
use any items
etc
weary sky
try to figure the mod which is causing it, because it doesn't sounds like an ACE issue
young sundial
is ACE open source?
weary sky
yes, simply google for the website and github repo
weary sky
by ACE that's only called when loading/unload persons or set as a Spectator (so is dead and there's no respawn)
and it means that something is trying to switch sides BACK, without being switched before...
which means that something (not ACE itself) is doing something with unconscious players, but not the ACE way
or you run something outdated...

without knowing what is causing the error it's impossible to give a solution... but it's not ACE itself causing it
spare shell
and its not only this, ace is bugged out completly. The pointing circle is flashing,
etc etc
I have no idea what is causing this.
does anything in our modpack stand out?
young sundial
I have an idea of what it might be
you mentioned this function runs when someone is switching sides, or being set as a spectator
maybe its related to our ace settings
we have it so when you get shot, you don't die unless you're uncounscious for 10mins
this way you can always get revived
I believe what could be happening is
someone sustains enough damage that they would be considered dead
but ace prevents them from dying
however, the function to switch them to spectator or have them respawn still runs for some reason
causing a messed up state where someone is both alive and dead and has triggered a respawn
could that be a thing?
weary sky
ACE has a custom damage handler, so if ACE doesn't want you to die, you won't die... And ADV ACE CPR is using that system, so shouldn't cause issues.
The Spectator thing is a mission setting which is tied to the Respawn Templates (which is NOT compatible with respawns).
there are 2 mods which I'm not familiar with but do things with ACE, so can't rule out them being a problem:
- ACE Ragdolling
- Suppress
btw... the only way to find out what is causing the issue is to start the game with only CBA + ACE and test... add single mod... test again... and again... and again... till you found the problem
spare shell
I have removed all our addon options, and made them as they are at the very start.
Weve run some trouble shooting and there are no errors, ace is not bugged, and we are waking up without any issues. For now anyway
If it does turn out to be my custom addon settings, How can I know which is going to break it, there are literally over a 100 i changed.
weary sky
line by line...
spare shell
never mind
my ace is bugged again ;-;
same error shows up
I dont know what to do anymore
spare shell
@weary sky ive been going through all the settings and I cant find any pattern
it just happens whenever it feels like happening from what it seems
young sundial
Does the fact we are playing on a local server mess with ace in any way?
supple crystal
i can almost guarantee its one of your ww2 mods again
spare shell
snake, i removed them all one by one and the issue still remained
supple crystal
What about just ace+cba, in a simple mission without any scripts etc?
Not sure if it's relevant but adv_cpr isn't compatible with ace med rewrite beta.
weary sky
The normal workshop versions are compatible
So unless wrong versions are used, a broken modpack or different versions on clients/server, it should be fine.
But if it's not the mods, then it's the mission(s)...
Again, it's not Arma or ACE, and the only time I saw issues like that were after breaking ACE myself with scripts...
weary sky
Verify files with steam?

Because it usually means your BE install is broken.

My friend and I are making a dedicated server but we have ran into a problem. We start it up and the first error I see is "Addon 'rhs_c_2s1' requires addon 'rhs_2s3". I thought that by placing the needed file in all the rhs folders would fix this, but it didnt. The next problem we have showing up is "bin/config.bin/CfgAmmo/rhs_ammo_TOW_AT/EventHandlers/: Cannot find base class 'EventHandlers'" in which there is nothing showing on google or bing about this. If possible, can I get someone to help us with these problems and ossibly even join a call with screenshare?

And i've reinstalled rhs twice
root as in, starting from scratch on a dedicated computer? then yes

How do you install the mods on that machine?

Got them from the workshop
Should I try the rhs site?
I took them from the !Workshop folder and copied them into there
There being the actual server

DL to your PC and copied from there to the machine, or direct DL on the target machine with steamCMD?

Yea, but Josh he was looking to do what Soviet Womble was doing, which was Antistasi

That's your issue... DL the mods on your server machine directly with steamCMD

This way you circumvent the step via your PC that can cause issues. Google for steamCMD arma 3. Can't help you further since I am at work / on mobile

Not really a big problem neither is it technical but I suggest they make a site with useful/official mods cuz it's kinda annoying when you search for a mod and you find 200 with similar names?
quaint jewel
@fringe salmon BI will never label mods as "official"
Do you mean people just naming their mod badly such that you can't find it? A big list with mods that are also similarly named won't help you with that.
Do you mean illegal reuploads on workshop? If you Google for a mod you usually also find a bif thread for it

gritty crypt
Running into an issue with running the ACE arsenal blacklist script, since my server does autoinit now.
How can I run this so that it runs JIP-style? Is there another JIP version of init.sqf?
gritty crypt
well, I'm running this in init sqf:
restrictedItems = ["CUP_glaunch_6G30","CUP_sgun_AA12"];
[box1, restrictedItems, true] call ace_arsenal_fnc_removeVirtualItems;
[box1, false] call ace_dragging_fnc_setDraggable;
[box1, false] call ace_dragging_fnc_setCarryable;
It works in local multiplayer, but when run on dedicated server with autoinit, it does not.
Any obvious fixes you could recommend?
quaint jewel
Can't check the code now. I'd check the allowed items variable on the obj (which I think exists?)
The arsenal is created (action added) before you call removeitems right?
fringe salmon
@wise barn @quaint jewel for example I saw a video talking the MCC mod in a starting video. If you search MCC on steam wsp you get so many different results.

Real mods, will have the most subs

Not sure what that's supposed to accomplish?
I don't have a computer, or steam so..
wise barn
just look at mods like TFAR, CUP, RHS, HAFM, RH and what not... you can clearly differ between originals and reuploads by subs
fringe salmon
As an example of what I am taking
quaint jewel
Yeah I know what you mean
Searching for abbrevs generally doesn't work.
TFAR doesn't exist on workshop (atleast none of the non-illegal reuploads)
It's called task_force_radio and Task Force Arrowhead Radio

it's not a waste of time. installing and updating drivers this way has no negative effect. it's recommendable to have it's system up to date and not use the windows automated driver installation.
in this case tho, it's questionable if it was the cause, sure. but from my experience, issues with GPU and on board audio drivers have caused access violations before, so yes... drivers are my personal go-to first aid task

So ive played Arma 3 a lot and now, for about a month or 2, Arma will crash about 60-90 mins after launch (I assume its actually after joining a MP server) with it usually doing 1 of 2 things. A) Freezing the game (not responding) with audio still playing, being able to ctrl+alt+del to task manger and getting stuck there with nothing happening having to restart computer. B) Everything freezes and cant do a thing. I've only been able to obtain one error message; ...software exception 0x0eedfade at location 0x0000000075B835D2. I have 4 "crash logs" (for lack of right terminology) saved. Any thoughts or resources I can go looking at? (With mods)
uncut trellis
First you would need to test if the problem happens without mods and if it does the BI support might be able to assist you. But if it doesn't and its a mod problem (which I would wager it it) then you would first have to figure out witch mod it is (process of elimination) and then find out if the author can do anything to fix it, or you'll just have to stop using the problem mod.
It also could be a scenario problem where something in the scenario scripts goes poop.
