PhysX3_x86.dll Crash

I can get into and play a multiplayer game for a short while but it always ends up freezing within 20 minutes or less. According to the event viewer it is the physx3_x86.dll that is causing the problem. I am running two 5770's in crossfire with the 12.8 drivers(these seem to be the last drivers that work well with these cardsthough correct me if I am wrong). Currently this sim is unplayable for me due to this.

good to hear, seems it happens to almost everyone ;)

I'm not even using Nvidia on this computer! I'm running an ATI 5800 series on an AMD Phenom 2 with 4 processors and 12 gigs of ram! I don't understand why this file is causing my game to crash so much, when, as I say, I don't even use Nvidia products? It's either this file causing frequent crash to desktops, or its a fault with DirectX, or just as worse a fault in their "alpha" stage memory managers in the .dll folder. I would recommend you implement a system that uploads the .rpt file of those whose games crash while playing Arma 3, because I've never had these problems with other games. I can get a satisfying gaming session in with X3 Terran Conflict and even Albion Prelude, which is far more demanding than this game. I hope this is not a problem that just gets talked about alot, when ending up in some file cabinet of issues not solved since Operation Flashpoint. And speaking of issues, lets talk about how worthless the new stances are, with too many more keys assigned to learn them. When I go into map mode I come out, and I'm laying in some crazy stance in the prone position. I would like to stay in the position I select when I go into map mode, and not have the computer decide to put me into another stance, which will ultimately get me killed. Less pretty flowery features, and more fixing the problems that were not addressed in previous versions. Please debug your own report files, because I know you devs play your own game as well, why ignore your own rpt files, and ask for more information when we report our problems to you! You guys are going to lose a lot of loyal fans if you don't start listening to the people who have made you what you are through our loyalty over the years. We don't want another Battlefield 3 game, and we don't want to cater to those people as well, keep Arma as its' been, but refine it, and fix the bugs, and most of all play and read the rpt files, because that's your greatest source of bug fixes when you guys get bored, or run out of coffee!

yes same issue no worries they are working on it

New Nvidia beta Driver : GeForce 320.49 Driver

http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/63129

With include : PhysX System Software 9.13.0604. Actually we have 9.12.xxxx version.

At work here, if someone could test it : ) maybe maybe ... solved... (Or Not I think : ) )

I am getting this same error crashing my servers. Can this also be due to the NVidia problem? After all a server does not run any graphics, only the scripting right?

crashing for me mate :-(

i might have to reinstall my Windows?

Yeah beta drivers still have the crash. It's just random enough to give you false hope though lol. Night before I played for a bit without any crashes, however tonight it only took about 10 min to crash the game.

crashing for me mate :-(

NO !!! don't reinstall.

If i can play all the game without crash with physx, it's not normal than i crash only on Arma : )

Actually, Physx is not fully implemented in the game and as DNA say, they work with Nvidia to optimizing the game and correcting crash or other.

If someone have nvidia card and have no crash, i would want a answer of what OS, what Nvidia graphic card he used :) but actually, nobody who have no problem answered to this topic to help us.

The only thing we can, it's to update this topic after each update to inform if that crash is already here or not.

Maybe a day before the release, a guy among us, would be don't have this problem :)

G.B

No crash with new update :

But i use Physx on CPU (right click on desktop, use Physx to CPU only)

Tommorow i come again to say it's that solved or not a little the problem...

yeah it seems setting physx to cpu cures the issue for now, did the same, didn't experience any crashes.

Like that

Now I would like for you todo 2 things which will make assisting you a bit easier.

1. Delete your .rpt file and play game until you crash again. Post RPT

2. List missions played when you crash.

The Appdata folder is a system hidden folder by default. In File Explorer goto Organise->Folder & Search Options->View tab. Find and select in the list 'show hidden files folders and drives'.

like:

and upload your files to rapidshare and post the link

I'm not at home, with the tip ((right click on desktop, use Physx to CPU only), the problem was always solved ?

Not sure what you mean entirely. but it seems if I have physx processor to any of my gpu's I then get the dll related crashe. when I set it to CPU I no longer experience the crash at all. Even played for a while last night without any problems.

same problem here

game crashed 4 times within the last hour im trying to play :(

after around 5 min in the game its just crashing

short: its unplayable

edit: my grapic card is an amd 6870 dual fan
