Same here. I've read that others can play fine with 1.57, so I'm thinking about reinstalling. I'm just afraid I will screw something up even worse.

this is getting very annoying. i havent been able to get much of any response in the form of any help. i have searched for several days now and have came up empty handed as far as a answer goes. you would think there would be some kind of simple fix other than uninstalling the game and shelving it.

Ok, I tried one last thing before trying a reinstall. I started Arma CO from the start menu instead of my launcher and everything was amazingly different. Granted, I have not re-played all of Harvest Red yet, but I have not had a single glitch or CTD. I guess I have something pointing in the wrong direction in my launcher.

The cause of my problems and yours may be different, but give it a try before you do anything drastic. I am wondering now just how I have been playing (online mostly) at all if I was using the wrong exe. Jeez I may have a whole new game now.

I used to get occasional screen freezes and had to switch off at the electric socket and reboot my PC.

Then after I patched to 1.57, i still get freezes, but not so many..:)

No luck for me :(. I am sure there is someone out there who can help us. Its annoying because i can play the boot camp training missions fine, just not the campaign or scenarios. When I do it comes up with ArmA 2 OA has stopped working :(

I have been looking forward to playing this game for so long, i just never had a pc that would run it. And now i my will run in on low to normal settings, and i cant play. I cant wait to upgrade my graphics card though, but i might still not be able to play this. Some one please help us out.

my pc is more than capable of running this game. i can play the armory without crashing. but as soon as i try the campaign or scenarios forget it, automatic CTD. and i am really getting pissed.

I dont get any probs so im guessing here... this isnt for Steam and i dont know your specs soooo...

1. Before a complete fresh reinstall make sure you uninstall the demo and main game plus delete the Arma 2 file which holds config and profile files for Arma and Arma OA. If you see anything in there to do with the demo delete that too.

Mines in .... C:\Users\Sandow\Documents\ArmA 2 .... delete ArmA 2

2. If you dont have a lot of ram make sure the partition where your page swap file or virtual mem is has enough memory free so it can do its thing.

3. defrag the install drive if its not a ssd.

4. Stop any programs that dont need to be running and install ArmA 2 etc. as administrator.

5. Arma 2, OA, PMC etc. should all install into the ArmA 2 file and mines all in C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2

6. Try game on low settings and if it crashes i doubt wether its ArmA and probably hardware driver or actual hardware limit.

this is more than likely a arma problem. i have ran arma 2 without any problems. this is the first game that i have had any problems with.
