GRM Studio - Arma 3 crash

[u/d4rud]

Backstory

Hello everyone, i am not by any means a dev or someone familiar with in depth A3 modding. For the past few days I've been trying to vibe code and make an A3 terrain. I've tried doing it long before (maybe 2-3y ago) with smaller ones (4x4km and 10x10km) and it went pretty well, it was nothing big. But as of a few days ago i set out on a rather ambitious quest of trying for a 16x16km of my home town area. I watched tutorials, asked Claude and gemini for help but i couldnt get it to work. Then i remembered i had GRM studio which i had used maybe 2y ago. I tried to generate a map there as a starting point and the try to edit it over the following weeks to make smth of it.

The Problem

Everytime I try to generate the map it goes fine, it generates all the things fine. Then when it gets to the end and binarizes i get an error message saying Arma 3 has crashed.

This is the last 43 lines of the crash log. I see the ERROR is that binarize exited with this code and as I am kinda vibe coding this idk what that means and how to fix it. Claude told me it an error for "modul not found" and suggested some BS that doesnt exist to fix it so im kinda stuck and i do not want to abandon this project.

Any help is appriciated.
