I don't know if your problem is similar to mine but I'm getting an "Arma 3:arma3_x64.exe - Application error" message saying memory can't be read.

I was also getting a memory crash. Try lowering your maxmem. Bring it down to 8gb in both command line and parameters. The game uses 8gb max anyways. I fixed my problem by lowering the amount of ram dedicated to the game.

Also, exThreads has a max of 7 and gpumaxframesahead should stay at 1000. It actually hurts fps to lower it to 1.

Same problem here, I also tried to lower the ram distribution but no success...

Same problem here I've ripped my PC apart looking for a fix

I'm sorry I can't help you guys. I first discovered my ram issue on the 21st of last month. I had to switch my ram chips around in both slots and do a factory reset on my pc in order to fix the problem.

Could you go to boot options when you start your pc? For me its F9 when I start my pc but you can then enter a system check on your pc. Do a extensive system check and it will tell you about your ram and hard drive to see if your hardware is at fault or its something else. Like my previous post I had to move my ram chip 1 into ram chip 2 slot and vice versa. It got so bad I had to start my computer from square 1.

im reinstalling the game to see if that helps cause when i took out all of the code it still gave me a crash

-malloc=tbb4malloc_bi_x64 -nologs -skipintro -noSplash -hugePages -cpucount=4 -enableHT
-exThreads=7 -maxmem=8122 -maxvram=6144

*the -maxmem=8122 is the max allowed by the game
*the -maxvram=6144; I would subtract 512mb so you aren't pushing your card to the max and end up overheating. 6144 is the max for your card though since maxmem and maxvram are measured in megabytes(mb). This is if you have the 6gb version. You could continue to use
-maxvram=4096(more than plenty for this game) but if you only have a 4gb card, I would use
-maxvram=3584 because you don't want to overheat.

I think you had way too many launch options. Try what I listed for your specs and let us know how it goes.
