Noise and static on screen

[puzzola 10]

Hi, I experienced a strange effect while playing a SP mission.

Passing from 1st to 3rd person wiew on a M1, the screen become all fuzzy and noisy like static effect.

Some months ago a friend of mine had the same problem.

We resolved moving PPE to disabled.

Do you have any idea of the reason?

I run on XP pro 32 bit, ATI Radeon HD5670, ArmA2 retail only.

My friend had an ATI 4890.

Thank you.

Try to install another version of driver. I had similar "snow" effect with one driver. I can't say 100% that this is driver problem.

I have had it happen a couple of times. One time I saved game, restarted the next day and the snow was still there. I messed around with the games video settings and got it to go away but hosed my video setup in the process. I think it's something in game. Admittedly I had played a long time that first day (benny warfare) and since OFP I have found that the game deteriorates in different ways over time.

Thank you both.

I noticed game deteriorating too, since ArmA, and tought of GPU overheating, now have a ATI 5670 that stay very cool so I guessed it's RAM problem.

It's the film grain effect in PP settings (that's why it went away when you disabled it). It's a feature, although I agree it shouldn't be used when not viewing thru optics

Is it like an optic malfunction after a damage? If I disembark it go away?

If so it's cool, only need not to use 3rd person in tanks.

Why does it happen so rarely? Is an effect added to the mission?

It might have to be added in during mission creation; but you might post a screenshot just to make sure what you're talking about

Thank you, but it don't show than once in a while
