PhilDogTheMan 10 Posted May 3, 2011 After a while of playing Operation Arrowhead I get a black screen that just says "Receiving" and it keeps flashing at me. I can still hear the game running in the background but it won't let me do anything and I am forced to End OA's process in task manager. It happens quicker if I put up my video settings and also If I change my "video memory" from very high to "default" (get the screen within a minute). At the moment I am running the game on full but with HDR and AA on normal with "very high" video memory. This allows me to play for an hour before I get the "receiving" screen. This is very frustrating and completely ruins the game having to restart it and reconnect to a server every hour. I am guessing this has something to do with it running out of video memory but I am not sure. Any help would be most appreciated. My Setup i7 920 Corsair 6GB DDR3 ATI 5970 2GB TX850W Corsair PSU My suspicions are to do with the 5970 being a dual gpu card. The localvram setting in Arma2OA.cfg shows 2GB but I get the feeling that it is not using it all. When I have tried disabling one of my GPUs to see if crossfire was the problem I still run into the exact same issue and now I am out of ideas. The only thing I can think of is that I have my page file disabled as I have 6GB ram and the game is trying to access it? Help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhilDogTheMan 10 Posted May 4, 2011 I did try that but it had no effect and just continued flashing "receiving" afterwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roguetrooper 2 Posted May 5, 2011 The Receiving-Screen is indeed extremely annoying the way it currently works. When I start or join a MP map, I have that screen for about 15 seconds sometimes while my char is already in the world and the world around me is running while I sit at that stupid screen not being able to act. Can't the game start after the stuff that is executed behind that screen is finished? Often enough in MP I am killed while this screen denies me access to the world that is already running.

runforrest 10 Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) i also had that problem with my old 8800 GT, i had it very often, and i found no way to fix it(had to close arma and fire it up again) - my guess it is related to RAM,graca cache,pagefile-settings, localvram- nonlocalvram- settings - in the arma.cfg i never had the problem with my new 5770 *edit if u have the pagefile deactivated try setting nonlocalvram to 0 in your arma2oa.cfg(if it isnt already). if not: set nonlocalvram=0 .start arma. close it. check if the settings is still 0. if its not: set nonlocalvram=0. make ur arma2oa.cfg write protected. start arma anc check again just an idea :) Edited May 5, 2011 by RunForrest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhilDogTheMan 10 Posted May 6, 2011 Just an update for anyone who ever encounters this problem. I found a fix, it was in fact the page file being disabled that was screwing it up, set it to 2gb and I'm not getting any problems at all now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
