Arma 3 graphics error/bug - Any fixes?

[Ponty]

Recently whilst playing Arma 3 after 40 minutes of playtime my games graphics look like they are straight out of the original Tomb Raider and my frames drop to 5 including game freezes and the occasional crash. It's becoming a real issue and can anyone help?

Do you use shadowplay?

Yeah, it never used to be an issue, but even on my old PC it did it after 30mins of playtime and that was with even worse specs. I'm not sure if this is an Arma thing or whatever but it makes it unplayable after 1 hour :/

Well what I did was I turned shadow play off and I haven't had any problems since, that is the only fix for now I think!

Was hoping I wouldn't have to turn it off but I'll give it a go to see if it helps!

I have encountered this phenomenon many times now at first I thought that I am off my meds but then it  started happening to many ppl... And now I wonder if we are eating some dodgy shit.

It happened to me when i used shadowplay and overwolf. For people who use both like i did, it's a case of picking which is more important to you. In my case i turned off overwolf (since hackers gravitiate towards me) and my game has ran fine ever since.

tbf would you expect a game from BI to run flawlessly without issues like this

Do you use overwolf at all?

I can confirm turning off Shadowplay did not work. It lasted longer but after 2 hours it went back to unplayable.

Are you using the tbb4malloc or mallocsystem thingy in your launch parameters? or anything at all such as cpucount or exthreads, maxvram? Turned them all off and I have not experienced this bug ever again, worked for me, might work for you, and I run shadowplay all the time.
