ArmA 2:CO [Black Screen/Game Running]

[kpx 10]

Hi,

This is my first post and I'm going to report my problem :[

I've got a strange problem on my ArmA 2. When I play about 1~2 hours (maybe less than 30 minutes) on multiplayer mode the game crashes and I get black screen, but the game still running, I can move and I can shoot normally, of course with black screen..

My computer specs:

Windows 7 64 Bits

ASUS P6T Deluxe V2

Intel® Core i7 920 @ 2.6

Corsair Dominator 6GB (3x2GB)

HD SSD Crucial C300 256 Gb

ZOTAC GeForce GTX 295

Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 2233 @ 120 Hz

By the way...

1) I already reinstalled all game files.

2) I update my video card.

3) Mobo, proc, HD and VGA temps are normal.

4) Aero is disable.

5) Firewall is disable.

6) AV is avast, but i disable when I startup any game.

7) It doesn't happen with other games, I can left run black ops, bc2 for more than 4 hours and no problem.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Every few hours I have to 'flush'

Left shift + number-pad - then type flush

The screen goes black and the video ram is flushed out.

Normally the black screen is a sign of running your video settings too high. but after several hours play you are going to run in to performance issue that weren't there when you started playing. I have found it less of a problem by setting the video memory setting to 'default' as this will use all of the video ram you have rather than the set amounts that the other settings refer to. Flushing is just something you have to remember to do from time to time when playing monster sessions...

i also have this problem,between each game i have to restart the game to avoid using "flush" each 5 mins,i dont get black screens usually but huge FPS drops often which is fixed by flush,but it happens each 5 mins so it is annoying.

Then you are running your game at too high a setting. Turn some of that stuff down! Drop the texture detail or the shadows heck drop the lot. Till the game runs without fault. Then slowly, one setting at a time increase the game settings. Find the right balance between looks and playability.

There is no point expecting the game to look great but to have to flush the video memory every five minuets.
