ArmA II:CO keep crashing with shadows AND memory problem

[CorsairFlyer 10]

Hi all, first here's my specs:

• i5 2500k on P67 sabertooth

• ASUS GTX580 DCII (last drivers, 285.xx)

• 8gb Corsair RAM PC12800

• ArmA II:CO patched 1.11/1.60

• Win 7 home 64bits

My ArmA2OA.cfg

language="French";
adapter=-1;
3D_Performance=1500000;
Resolution_Bpp=32;
Resolution_W=1920;
Resolution_H=1080;

winX=16;
winY=32;
winW=1920;

Render_W=1920;

FSAA=2;
postFX=0;
GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1000;
GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=3;
HDRPrecision=8;
lastDeviceId="";
localVRAM=1576468480;
nonlocalVRAM=2147483647;
vsync=1;
AToC=0;
FXAA=0;
Windowed=0;
sceneComplexity=150000;

And here's my first problem.

When I turn shadows on (normal settings, not tried the other ones) my game is randomly crashing (game freezes, then "ArmA 2 has stopped working..".

No problem with shadows off.

My second problem:

I often get memory warning messages while playing ArmA 2. It says that there is low memory left (about 5/6gb are used on 8). Tried -maxmem=2047, this happens less often but still happens.

Any idea ? :)

Thanks :D

Try Shadows at Very High, together with Video Memory at Default. Those two will make Arma use your video memory in accordance with what it has found you have (localVRAM value). Otherwise, AFAIR it will eat away at your system ram
