saves and longplay results in "out of memory"

Hi,

I have got a problem with Arma2 steam version (I am sure the problem is not related to Steam).

The problem:

there are two ways it happens

a) when playing for some 2-3 hours without any saving I get all the time some 30+ FPS, sometimes a little lag. Then suddenly the quality of objects drops to some LOD-equivalent and FPS drops to 1-3.

b) when I save (or autosave) the game in singleplayer multiple times (5x-8x) same thing happens. The thing is that the this might happen in minutes

I have also figured out a temporary fix:

When resetting memory usage setting to any other option (low to default, default to low, low to high... it just doesnt matter) the graphics and FPS is temporarily fixed (talking about some 5-10minutes). Then the problem is back again.

And after some while, the game crashes with error message box saying "Out of memory, requesting xxxkB"

And yes, I am playing with memory usage set to default.

PC:

Windows 7 32bit

Core i5 750 2,7GHz

Asus HD5850

Gigabyte P55-UD4

I have experiences similar problems as long as I started playing Arma2 CO back in V1.54 patch.

Game slowed down after savegame was used 4-7 times. After game had slowed down too much to 1-5 FPS it crashed usually with "out of memory" error. In Chernarus map this was most common.

After moving from harddisk+WinXP 32-bit to SSD+Win7 64-bit. Problem became more rare. Also no more slowdowns+crash, just "out of memory" after multiple hours of playing again usually in Chernarus map missions.
