clicking multiplayer causes blue screen of death crash "Driver IRQL not less or equal"

[Serapaxson]

after the latest update i can no longer play multiplayer. i get a blue screen crash where my copmputer will completely reboot, usually occurs when there is a driver failure on windows. for your update to cause such an error bohemia must have fu**ed up their coding big time, it was woking fine before thje update apart from the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ fps i am experiencing in game due to their poor multiplayer optimisation.

Where can i find this driver please?

http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/Killer_network_win78.zip
or you can use MSI live update

spoke to a mate of mine who is using killer 2200 (NDIS 6.20)...he is playing right now but he is using version 8.0.2.42 of the driver unlike me whos using 8.0.2.40

[Dwarden]

then update to new drivers ... it's obviously problem in older NIC driver ... aka not our fault ;)

[Chopper]

Confirmed and solved thank you Kasane! im now running the ndis 6.30 and it works. you will have to go into control panel and remove the Qualcomm ethernet controller program in Uninstall section. make sure you have downloaded the http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/Killer_network_win78.zip first. Reboot install, reboot again and KABAM!

My computer > C: Drive/OS:Drive> program files> Steam> Steam apps >Common> Arma 3 > Dll "Delete" this file. again the dll file does nothing when removed but improve performance. after every upday arma 3 re-downloads this file and you have to re-delete it. this file was 90 % of the issues i had in arma 3 it might be the same for you good luck.

EY, stop saying bad things about Bohemia man! i have the same problem, but you don't see me crying about it. I only want to find a solution.

Dwarden stay cool my bruddah

Same issue here, contacted Bohemia which suggested to update LAN Card Drivers. Didn't work for me as I already have the latest available...

[Serapaxson]

updating my e2200 drivers solved my issue.

[Bootyman]

Updating my killer e2200 Drivers also worked for me.

wuffles you will never know if you get BSOD until you try
just restart/reboot your computer and first thing you try after Windows start
is to run Arma3 Multiplayer, if it works you ok

if you get BSOD, then I suggest to start search for update to your network card drivers (w/e manufacturer you have)

[Dwarden]

it's not our bug, it's bug in the drivers, not our fault ...

[Serapaxson]

A bluescreen of death isn't that bad, in this case it's just arma triggering something in the netwrok device causing it to encounter a problem and restart your computer, just like if you restart it yourself, try it i doubt you'd get a bsod as i ahave only seen people with the e2200 having the issue.

[Serapaxson]

it will just restart as if you was to shutdown.... no harm is done, just windows thinks there kis a problem and decides to turn you're computer off. after you restart it will ask if you want to start windows normally or start in safemode etc just select boot windows normally, you will be brought to your login screen or straight to your desktop. where you can then do what you normally would, no data or anything will be lost nothing becomes corrupted it's safe :)
