Woodzy 10 Posted October 29, 2011 I'm running ArmA on win 7 64 bit. I run Arma 2 free fine, but when i run ArmA the buildings and land have no textures, and units either have low res textures, or none at all. Also it is Arma gold if that matters. ArmA http://s849.photobucket.com/albums/ab58/woodzyk/?action=view¤t=arma2011-10-2917-56-41-38.jpg ArmA 2 Free http://s849.photobucket.com/albums/ab58/woodzyk/?action=view¤t=arma2free2011-10-2918-01-36-49.jpg Please Help. Also i am running an intergrated Intel HD graphics card, which i dont think the card is the problem, since i run Fallout: New Vegas at highest settings fine. Ive tried -winxp and it didnt help, and my ram is 4.00 Gb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrBauss96 1 Posted February 5, 2012 Im having the same problem sorta... When I start up the game all of the Logos and what not are all blurry and then when it gets to the main menue everything is white and when I try to change the resolution everything goes black or it just shows a picture of my desktop. I'm using windows 7 64 bit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teufelhunden_0351 1 Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) However the Demo Version I have works fine https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-VY1cV2lGqgU/T7wIUUnzGCI/AAAAAAAAAA0/AA8YZClRKQU/s1200/ArmADemo.jpg Edited May 22, 2012 by Teufelhunden_0351 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicholas 5 Posted May 22, 2012 First of all, thank you for using search rather than creating a new thread and thank you for posting a screenshot of the problem. I'm assuming you are using either Windows Vista or Windows 7, which ArmA seemed to have a problem with, but only if you are on an early version. If you update ArmA to the latest version, this glitch should go away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teufelhunden_0351 1 Posted May 22, 2012 ARMA: Gold Changelog Aug 23 2011, 1:30am - VERSION: 1.18.5281 FULL Gold Client I just downloaded Monday so I'm assuming Desura is offering the latest. Not sure its really an issue since the demo works but Processor Manufacturer Intel Processor Type Core i3 Processor Model i3-2120 Processor Core Dual-core (2 Core) Processor Speed 3.30 GHz Standard Memory 6 GB Memory Technology DDR3 SDRAM Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Yes I'm running as administrator Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicholas 5 Posted May 22, 2012 Ok, have you installed DirectX 9? I remember the same exact thing happening to me, but I cannot seem to remember what the hell I did to fix it. I believe I just updated it, but maybe I did something else. What kind of graphics card do you have? AMD or NVIDIA? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teufelhunden_0351 1 Posted May 22, 2012 Nothing fancy actually its the POS onboard card the computer came factory with Intel®HD graphics 2000 I believe it was 256mb with a max of 1696mb. That's probably my problem I just assumed that if the demo ran ok...... And yes Dx is fully updated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The demo version is actually quite outdated compared to the 1.18 version of the game, which may be why you were able to play the demo, but not the full game. Could I have you install Speccy? Once installed open it and copy everything that is on the "Summary" tab, then paste it here please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nicholas 5 Posted May 23, 2012 It may be your graphics card. Are you launching it through Desura? Try going right into the ArmA directory and launch it by clicking on the .exe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teufelhunden_0351 1 Posted May 23, 2012 Tried it both ways and launching windowed both ways always the same result ---------- Post added at 19:22 ---------- Previous post was at 19:17 ---------- Yeah done it through the main .exe before as well as window mode through both Desura and the .exe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicholas 5 Posted May 23, 2012 Ok. I have one last idea. Go to the directory for ArmA. Right click on the .exe and click "Create Shortcut". Then right click on the shortcut and click "Properties". At the very end of the target line with a space before you type it, type in "-maxmem=2048". It should look like this: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teufelhunden_0351 1 Posted May 23, 2012 Tried that approach already didn't work. Reason number 128 to upgrade my video system.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicholas 5 Posted May 23, 2012 Tried that approach already didn't work. Reason number 128 to upgrade my video system.... Indeed. I'm currently in the process of downloading ArmA and installing it so I can take a closer look and see if it happens to me as well. ---------- Post added at 19:31 ---------- Previous post was at 18:37 ---------- I am able to run ArmA 1.18 perfectly fine. I'm going to assume that the issue is with your graphics card being incapable of properly playing ArmA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metalcraze 290 Posted May 23, 2012 It is your graphics card bro. In fact simply because you don't have a graphics card. Trying to play anything but very old games or looking at your desktop with an integrated "videocard" is futile. That and intel drivers are usually really bad. You'd do well by buying a proper one.

(idk if i have to go through you or steam) this update BROKE the game, in my humble opinion. it worked in earlier versions, and it worked on my low powered laptop? WHY not my desktop. i am aware it may be the video card, and i am looking into purchasing one. any suggestions to one thats GUARANTEED to work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicholas 5 Posted May 31, 2012 theres 3 options A) fix it. b) allow me to get a earlier version C) refund. (idk if i have to go through you or steam) A) It works for many people, it's an issue with your hardware. B) You must redownload from Steam and disable automatic updates if you wish to have an earlier version. Although Steam may automatically download the newest version, I'm not sure, C) The place you purchased from would have to give you a refund. To my knowledge, Steam does not give refunds.
