just asking this again i load into the game and no matter what i go into (Campaign, Editor) and so on the game freezes but it does not crash to my desktop it just makes my CPU go crazy (99%) and the only thing i can do is restart my pc it does not freeze my pc just the game, My pc specs are intel pentium CPU G3258 @ 3.20HGz 16gb RAM GPU GeForce GTX 750

I have tired re downloading it many times did not work i have spoken and still am speaking to BI to fix this issues i have been trying to fix it for over 2 years now,

anyone have any ideas please let me know thank you.

Cheers.John

Your CPU seems to be a bit weak for ArmA 3, I think. But it should not do something like that. I've only basic stuff to suggest to you, but sometimes it's good to double-check the most simple things :

- is ArmA running as Administrator ?
- have you tried to disable your antivirus software before starting the game ?
- have you tried to configure the various startup parameters allowing theoretically you to explicitly give to the game the number of CPU cores you want to use ? (theoretically because since approximately ArmA 1.40 theses parameters don't seems to have any effect anymore on performances...)
- is your hard drive in a good condition ?
- are your graphical settings high enough ? Various graphical parameters in ArmA are managed by the GPU, but if you set up theses options at a low level the game consider that you think your GPU is too weak and make the corresponding option managed by the CPU instead. Which means sometimes you'll have lower performances with low graphical settings. Seems strange but that's how it works...

johnnyboy1104 - please do not do that, crossposting/duplicate posting is not allowed. I know you had no reply on the other one but its still no reason for you to ignore our rules. I have removed the other post.
