Hi guys,

If I get error reports by users for my preset it´s 99% a game launch issue. Crosire already wrote in another post that disabling BattlEye helps.
In fact sometimes that solves it. But now even this is not the solution anymore.

I really don´t know what to do anymore and what to try so I decided to wrap the whole situation up as short as possible to make sense out of all this and hopefully eliminate this issues with you guys some people have.

We are talking about this preset of mine: sh8.videopilot.link/arma3/real-light-v6/

Here we go;

I contacted BattlEye directly and got the following reply:

One user has a Blackscreen when trying to launch Arma and he wrote:

Warning: Spoiler!


Another user reports that the game was running with ReShade when after two days without any change of him on the setup it suddenly failed to work:

Warning: Spoiler!


I experienced a similar thing. I had ReShade 0.1.92 running for Arma 3 as well and all previous versions I used never caused trouble. I never had to disable BattlEye because it never denied me the usage if the dxgi.dll. When I switched over to ReShade 1.0 it suddenly did tho. So I disabled BattlEye - the game launched and I thought; ok, now I seem to have that issue too (out of nowhere to be honest).Played some Arma, closed the game, thought I´d might give it another shot with BattlEye and then it just launched! ReShade 1.0 running, BattlEye enabled - Arma 3 runs and most important starts til today without any issues and I did nothing to my system. There was no update - I used the same files from your download as before...

Then there was a User that helped another user out with this tip:

The guy tried the workaround and reported that it worked!

A user wrote me this: "I could not launch either until I simply clicked on the arma3.exe itself and ran as administrator. Shortcuts need also to run as admin and i have had mixed results with having mods in the command line. It sometimes launches and sometimes it does not."

I don´t run anything as administrator in the Arma context and it works for me.

Here is another example of how a user made it work for him:

I know this is a lot of quote to read - the reason I do this is just that I hope you guys can make sense out of that and maybe even find clues in these sometimes weird solvings. Like I wrote before I am out of ideas what is happening there and even BattlEye told me everything is whitelisted with ReShade.

Regards

No surprise. The ReShade binaries changed between 0.19.2 and 1.0.0, so that would no longer make them whitelisted (I guess they do that using a MD5 hash or similar) and thus one needs to wait for BattlEye to add them again.

I understand.
All the issues I mentioned are from a longer timespan.
It seemed to fix it for many people to disable BattlEye but there are others who disabled it and can´t launch so I made this collection to make it hopefully easier to track the issue down once and for all.
It also seems that it isn´t really OS dependent in this case.

I got a user who wrote me this:

"I tried it without any mods or battleye enabled and I got a combination of these two errors.

„STATUS_STATCK_BUFFER_OVERRUN“
and
„ACCESS_VIOLATION“

Both of them occur when „compiling effect.“"

Any ideas what this means?

Does it work if no effects are in the folder, so that ReShade does not try to compile anything?

When I remove ReShade.fx, it the game will load and say "Loading effect....no effect found!"

It doesn't crash when there is no ReShade.fx file.

Interesting, so it's something in the effect compiler that causes the crash. Could you try the same exact shaders and config in some other games to see if it crashes there too (preferably the same DirectX version and with some other DirectX version too, to see if the global parser or the target specific compilers are the problem)?

Through about twelve hours of Arma 3 with ReShade and no effect loaded, I had one access violation crash. With ReShade.fx present, the game crashes nearly every time when loading the effect.

I'll try out some other games and see what happens.

I think problem comes from game because when game launch, in first few seconds when game initialize, arma 3.exe not respond ( check task manager) and then start well.

I used WhatIsHang and this is what I find:
Arma3 without Reshade - game start normal - in Task Manager -> Arma3.exe - Not Responding -> then - Running

That AMD Liquid VR wrapper thing in there could be the culprit, though the function names might be misleading, considering that the distance from the function begin to the actual stack pointer is quite high (0xb68e = 46734 bytes = 47 kilobytes). Is your computer equiped with an AMD or NVIDIA card?
