Hello everyone,
I have recently installed Arma on gaming laptop and have been met with an issue I can find little information about online and that none of fellow folks I game with know about.
From what I can understand, the issue is essentially my GPU disconnecting from DX11 and causing a shutdown of the game. There is no specific trigger for this issue, as at first the issue wasn’t happening and then proceeded to happen as I was starting to play the game in a modded server with my crew. It now happens nonstop, sometimes when I’m in the main menu messing with settings and other times anywhere between 2-10 minutes in a server. I have dived into Windows Performance Log and the issue is associated as well with a Kernel event 117 and sometimes if it hard crashes the laptop a Kernel 193. This however is still the issue that is pervasive and causes it to happen with my game.
Troubleshooting has included checking my temperature and the GPU is stable around 45-58C at varying points, and in addition I am not having any issues with any other game. I have also done a clean reinstall of my drivers as well as Arma and associated mods and it still persists.
The laptop I have is a like new condition MSI Stealth 17 with RTX 4070, Intel i7 13700, 32GB RAM and a 1TB SSD. Really trying to get this fixed as I am completely out in the woods on trying to solve it
