Still crashing,but not as much as before

Yeah, it's probably something pretty random, just as I encountered myself as well. Not really something you can find a direct cause for.

I'm getting this problem today as well after updating to the newest Catalyst drivers and updating my DayZ/Arma. Very annoying. I had it when I first got DayZ, and I fixed it by running the .exe's as Administrator. Now I use the beta client I don't get the option to run the beta client as Admin so can't try it.

You can set any shortcut/executable to be run as Administrator. Just right click the OA Beta executable --> Properties --> Compatibility tab --> Tick the bottom box "Run this program as Administrator" and it will always run in Administrator mode. I think you need to re-take these steps every time you install a new Beta version, though.

Yeah I got it to run as admin and now the game doesn't start at all, so I have to untick run as admin for the beta client to work. Otherwise I get an error message before the game even starts.

By the way to the OP, you can bring the game screen back up when it crashes by holding down left shift, the '-' on the num pad and typing flush at the same time. This flushes the VRAM and brings the game up full screen from the tray, where previously clicking it wouldn't bring the game back up and you had to end the process and relaunch the game.

But it will crash again at some point and you'll have to do it again, rinse and repeat until we find a way to stop it crashing.

Untick the beta, in Six Updater.

Still getting this crashing. So annoying. Sometimes crashes 3 times in 10 minutes. Keep having to flush VRAM which brings the game back up, but then it crashes again. Sometimes when I'm stood in the middle of a field.

To the Op and any one else with a similar problem. (Sorry Zarlak your prob sounds worse, I don't think this is of use to you)

Have you tried just waiting?

This has been a long time bug for me with Arma ( Nvidia here).

What happens is this:

1. Game screen freezes.

2. Screen goes black (For up to 1 minute maybe a bit more even) (heavy Harddisk activity)

3. Sometimes goes to desktop for a second

4. Screen goes black again and "Receiveing" appears on screen and after a moment the game returns to normal.

5. When I have finished my play session and exit Arma I see the message "Display driver has stopped responding and has successfully recovered"

If I was to intervene and try to Alt tab or Ctrl Alt Del t durign the above, the game will fully crash and not come back.

Try waiting to see what happens. It might recover on it's own like mine does. PS I recommend Vid memory set to Default.

My problem is the same as yours, except it doesn't bring the game back up. I get;

1. Game screen freezes.

2. Screen goes black (For up to 1 minute maybe a bit more even) (heavy Harddisk activity)

3. Games comes to desktop and message pops up 'Display driver has stopped responding and has successfully recovered"

4. Game icon is still there in my tray, and if I alt + tab to another window, I can interact with my desktop etc, if I alt + tab back to the game, the window does not restore but I am in game, I hear the in game sounds and if I click I fire my weapon in the game

5. The only way to get the window back up again, is to hold down left shift, the num pad minus, let go and type 'flush' which then flickers my screen, brings up DayZ and I can continue to play.

A short while later, it will crash again.

So recently i got a new graphics card and of course updated my psu, i got a ge force gtx 650ti and installed the drivers and seemed to work perfectly fine with everything including arma 2 and the dayz mod. Acouple days ago i started having issues with graphics card not responding in some cases to photoshop and arma. And i had the same exact problem with arma freezing up and then the screen going transparent showing my desktop or whatever is opened behind it but with the sound and controls still working, only way to fix this is to restart arma. i reinstalled arma and OA and tried reverting back to older gpu drivers and i cant figure out whether it is my gpu (hardware or software) or just arma 2 failing...
