jhebbel 10 Posted August 4, 2010 (edited) Well ive tried it with no nvidia drivers just the windows drivers and had same issue, but i suppose i could try it with a different card, but seing as how Nvidia holds the largest percentage or the market i dont think it would be a suitible fix for everyone who wanted to play this game to dump nvidia... And like i said my original ARMA 2 runs fine... **EDIT** Ok i even tried it on a completely different computer also running Win 7 x64 Ultimate.... Same crash same conditions and this was using the onboard intel graphics... so it all seems to point back to Win 7 x64 bit...

ruskoz 10 Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) jhebbel.....did you try setting your shortcut to compatibility to win xp? I don't think it has anything to do with video cards. Its likely something to do with administration settings within win7. Edited August 5, 2010 by ruskoz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jhebbel 10 Posted August 5, 2010 jhebbel.....did you try setting your shortcut to compatibility to win xp?I don't think it has anything to do with video cards. Its likely something to do with administration settings within win7. Well from what ive heard it works fine with 7x32(86), it seems to only be us 64bit'ers. But yes i have done everything from change compatibility to vista, xp, and 2k; also ran as admin and disabled visual themes... no luck... i just uninstall ,and change the installation directory,i put it in my arma2 folder,in fact in e;/bohemia,and that s all ...sorry that i can not help you more... sorry for my english im french... ericd Ill give it a try outside the normal programs directory as you did because i know windows protects the he11 outta that dir. but im gonna guess that that wont fix it because running a program as admin is supposed to give it permissions to bypass all those pain in the but windows protections.

Dwarden 1125 Posted August 5, 2010 if you have crashes please follow how post crashdumps (via COmmunity Issue Tracker) here : http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=102991 also i suggest first to try public beta build to avoid reporting what was already fixed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jhebbel 10 Posted August 5, 2010 i forgot to mention ,i ihave installed the game for all users... i alwayse do that anyway, But no luck still... Im leaning twards its a small bug in the code and nothing specifically wrong with any of my machines or anybody elses. i have 2 completely different machines and the only common denominator is Windows 7x64 and this game. and since ARMA 2 runs fine on 7x64 im leaning tords a bug in ARMA2OA... Machine 1 Machine 2 CPU Intel core 2 duo E7400 64bit AMD Athalon x2 64bit RAM 4gb 4gb GPU EVGA 9800 GTX+ Onboard nForce 430 OS Win 7 x64 Win 7 x64 Both my machines alwayse have the newest drivers and windows updates too... Has anybody heard any news that bohemia is adressing this issue because all the bug reports i see are going un answered except to upgrade to 1.52 and nothing after that... Its a real shame that since almost every new computer sold now uses 7x64 that such a substancial percentage of them have issues with this game, makes me think they where in too big a hurry to release... Hope a new update is in the works though it would be nice for BI to tell us that it is. ---------- Post added at 01:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ---------- if you have crashes please follow how post crashdumps (via COmmunity Issue Tracker) here :http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=102991 also i suggest first to try public beta build to avoid reporting what was already fixed But theres already bug reports of this problem that are going un-answered, at least thats how it seems, if there is an undertaking to fix this specific bug i have seen no official mention. ---------- Post added at 01:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ---------- and where can i DL the public beta?

Dwarden 1125 Posted August 5, 2010 what unanswered ones ? 99% of crash related CIT tickets were answered by me if they contain crashdumps ... you need to realize that CTD by person A most likely differs from person B so it must be tracked and analyzed on per case basis (each of them should do own reprot and upload the dumps) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dwarden 1125 Posted August 5, 2010 well what distribution of game you have (retail, online, what region) ? when You look into registry (via regedit) then under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2 OA or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2 OA there should be 2 entries one says KEY (that's game CD key) another says "MAIN" where is path to OA and if you run beta installer as (try "run as administrator") they report incorrect key ?

WarriorM4 10 Posted August 5, 2010 (edited) This isn't just happening in OA.Since patch 1.07 its happening in stock Arma 2 as well.I posted my reports in the system and they are listed as "fixed in upcoming version".Problem is we haven't seen any fixes for stock Arma 2 since 1.07.
