I too am experiencing this.

It's related to VRAM I believe. A memory leak somewhere due to Graphics.

One thing that fixes it for me is to "DownGrade" the graphics i.e. from 200% 4k Downsample to 100% at 1080p this seems to have solved it - for the moment but is not ideal obviously.

I think it could be related to the Latest EXE from Arma..... But I definitely had one crash like this before teh 1.64 update, so not sure.

so....

No answers for you yet, but I will keep looking

Yeah I'm 95% certain it's an issue with the Arma.exe not a mod issue. It's entirely possible running lots of mods would exacerbate the issue, i.e. make it occur more quickly. But the code fault is in the way the engine is handling memory or textures or whatever is causing it to collapse

Watch this thread if you want to test beta builds.

One optimistic piece of news is the potential progress in our investigation of the infamous "3FPS Drop" issue. Some players who were
experiencing drastic performance drops, and were forced to restart their
game, are now reporting that the issue was resolved for them by using the newest memory allocator distributed in the Profiling Branch of the game. This is why we would like to ask you, the community, to help us confirm the fix is actually working and no
side issues are present. Those experiencing the issue and willing to participate on the test, please visit the dedicated forums thread created by Yours Truly and follow the instructions given within the post. It's crucial for us
to have the fix confirmed by more people, so we can decide to release it
in the form of a hotfix afterwards.

changing the memory allocator definitely helped for me, thanks for the response
