Gunter Severloh 4070 Posted August 29, 2011 Hello, Some questions for you: -what is your command line you start up with? -Are you running any mods, extra addons? -do you have addons you downloaded in the main Arma2 directory in the directory addons folder? -what are you playing when this occurs, sp missions, mp missions, in editor made preview, or just general anytime any mission? Did you make the mission yourself with or without scripts involved? -Do you have the latest drivers for your gpu? -what is your monitor size , resolution, and what is your ingame video setup. Lastly post your RPT, and find the crashdump files, located here: The arma2OA.rpt, arma2OA.bidmp and arma2OA.mdmp files are located in your -profiles root directory, or if used without this parameter then it can be found in these default locations: WINDOWS XP: %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\ArmA 2 OA -Have you submitted your crashdump files to Dwarded? see here--> http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=110823 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2OA.exe" 2. Nope 3. Nope 4. MP Co-op. Downloaded from ArmAholic. Some minor ones, but the missions have been played a lot before - doubt its mission-side. 5. Yes 6. 1024 x 768 60hz 7. Everything on normal. P.S Reinstalled ArmA 2 and OA recently, before that - never such a problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankbuster 1747 Posted August 30, 2011 Have you ever had the gaming running properly on that machine? It's way below the system requirements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Severloh 4070 Posted August 30, 2011 I dont see how hes under the requirements other then his gpu: NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT, hes got a dual core to back him up but its very possible, Im thinking possible mission problems with scripts, or that service pack 3 for his OS. What missions are you playing by the way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankbuster 1747 Posted August 30, 2011 From http://minimumsystemrequirements.net/arma-ii-operation-arrowhead.html CPU: Pentium IV at 3.0 His dual core is only 2.2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leon86 13 Posted August 30, 2011 I've installed arma 2:free on my htpc, it has a 7600GT, even slower (although not by much) than the 9500GT. Tested in the editor on utes, runs like shit but doesnt ctd when shooting. Have you tried it on low resolutions and did you install the latest nvidia driver?

Gunter Severloh 4070 Posted August 30, 2011 How about this, lose the downloaded missions, and anything you had added. Go to the sp (single player) editor, pick utes for shits and giggles, double click on the map to put down a soldier, and then hit preview, shoot your gun and what happens? CTD? or the game runs? Also as I had asked before post your RPT, all this time wasting about gpu and whatnot, RPT tells you whats going on in the game, you should also sent Dwarden the crash dump files to and point him to this thread.
