Unusual Process Exit

---

This block is not in a published chapter and should not be relied upon.

When your game crashes with an Unusual Process Error it means something went terribly wrong with the game and had to close itself. Unfortunately the error messages are very generic (not Arma specific).

Some common errors:

0x0000DEADThis code means the game crashed for a reason that could not be determined.

 

0xC0000022 - STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

This code means the OS doesn’t have access to some files required to run the game. 

Possible solution:

• Run the game or Steam as administrator.
• Check your Anti-virus software if it blocks any Arma related files

 

0xC0000005 - ACCESS_VIOLATION

Can also be STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION.

This error is very generic. It may be caused by many issues, such as a hardware malfunction, a virus in the computer, but also an error in the game itself.

Possible solutions:

• Try changing the Memory Allocator you are using (default: "tbb4malloc_bi" - try "system" on Windows 7 and later)
• Update the graphics card drivers to a newer version.
• Verify the integrity of the game cache using Steam.
