100% Disk usage when i play ARMA 3

[Brandon_21]

Guys, everytime i open something to do with arma 3, either the A3L launcher or Arma 3, the disk usage shoots up to %97 to %100, and it makes my game pretty unplayable as it frame drops everytime the disk usage goes up, can someone please help me?

Hey there, Brandon!

If this 100% HDD activity spikes only during this game, then I'd strongly recommend you to try re-installing the software. Another thing you should do is run some anti-virus/malware software and make sure your system is not infected either.
If reinstalling the game doesn't help, you should definitely run the HDD manufacturer's brand-specific diagnostic tool and check up on the health and SMART status of the hard drive itself.

Hope this helps. Keep me posted with the troubleshooting!

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Brandon_21 : "System and Compressed Memory Disk usage 100%"

hey guys, evertime i open arma 3, the system and compressed memory in the task manager puts my disk usage to 100% and gives my game fps drops, anyone know how to make the system and compressed memory stop making my disk usage go up to 100% or just disable it?

How about system specs to help us answer you

You've posted this same thing 3 times.. You NEED to give system specs. Reported the multiple posts.

Hey there again, Brandon.

You should definitely follow @Ziggy's suggestion and share your system specs.
In order to attempt to fix the issue, you should start by reinstalling the ARMA 3 game itself. This could potentially help with the HDD usage and the performance issues that you're encountering. If you have any anti-virus/malware utility activated, you should try disabling it as well.
In case it doesn't, you should definitely back up all the content from the HDD and test it using the brand-specific utility I mentioned in my previous post. If you cannot find this tool on the official HDD manufacturer's website, refer to some third-party suggestions from the TH community.

Best of luck!
