ffs after not playing for months i go back on and it keeps getting massive artifacts and crashed or just vanishes to desktop with no warning.

i7 920 @4ghz 6gb ddr3 gtx275

default to high but all settings are normal, post fx is off vid mem is default. 1680x1050 100% fill.

have tried doing different commands in the command line but still crashes

also "localVRAM=919994368;" according to my config file

Hmm well artifacts usually mean memory issues on graphics card and "vram" message suggests that too so there must be something there. Are all the drivers and patches up to date? You using beta patches for ARMA?

Im really gona have to get back into this game. The only thing is it seems very hard to pick up, especially if you are online by yourself and not in a clan. I shall keep an eye out and see where everyone is playing.

Currently running Core 2 Quad 6600, 8Gb RAM, BFG GeForce 8800, and Vista 64. I'm guessing I'll have to run on medium detail levels??
Just realised that system is 2 years old, must look at upgrading!!!

yea all my drivers are up to date.... should i be using arma2 beta patches? they on the website or do you mean for mods? that vram, is what is in my config file, i dont actually get any error messages... just artifact, goes crazy, freezes, crashes.. and a box with arma2 has stopped working

should i manually set the vram in the config file? 896mb in bits yes? i went to a conversion site and it gave me two different readings o.O

Have you tried turning HyperThreading off?

rhysduck · 29 Dec 2010 at 12:53

Does anyone know if I buy the Steam version of Operation Arrowhead, will I run into problems with having a retail version of ARMA2??
I know OA is standalone but it says that OA integrates with ARMA2 ????
Thanks.

I think ArmA 2 was on the Steam sale, although I appreciate you don't want to buy it twice

FirebarUK · 29 Dec 2010 at 17:08

Purchased OA in the Steam Sale.

Can anyone recommend good a good co-op server?

Anyone who gets into this please pop along to our teamspeak, we're a friendly bunch and have a long history as a group.

If you have any steam problems we'll also sort those out for you, usually via teamviewer. Be advised we are a realism group and can be a little hardcore at times, so if you don't have patience it might be better to find another group, not so say we don't have fun though.

As for integrating steam / normal retail, it's quite an easy process so don't worry about it too much... Once it's done it's done.

Just finished building my new rig and would love to get into this. Tried on release but was too buggy and my system really struggled.

Is the patch from 1.00 to 1.08 the latest? Downloading it now but just wanted to check. Also if anyone could recommend a good uk forum/clan that I could join I would appreciate it.

Cheers

rhysduck · 7 Feb 2011 at 12:34

For ArmA2, yes, the 1.08 patch is the latest

rexehuk · 7 Feb 2011 at 14:45

Depending on how you wish to play... http://www.havoc-company.com, we try play Arma in a realistic manner, not everyones cup of tea though. Every Sunday we have a large operation (20+).
