Crash to desktop

Recommended Posts

Anyone else getting a crash to desktop in Single player? I've tried to do the first training mission twice now and both times it's just crashed to desktop at different parts.

Yep and in the mission after that as well :(

All the time. Does the game crash completely, or do you still have sounds running as if the game was still running? If so, press shift and numpad - at the same time, release, then type "flush". Works for me, but it's still annoying. What graphics card do you have?

Crash at startup during single player, and while looking at the MP options.

Yup, seems to CTD at completely random places.

Try to set your VideoMemory to "Default" or the option that IF autodetects. Changing the VideoMemory option could lead to random CTD's.

Right, setting it to Very High instead of Default seem to have helped..

Now to think of it I think I had the same exact issue with the same fix with OA back in the day.. Dumbass me.. FPDR

EDIT:

Spoke too soon I guess, although now the CTD took quite a long time to happen so not sure if it was related to this video memory thing at all.

I guess we need to wait for a place to post crash dumps to..

Just wanted to add that I'm getting them as well, here and there, mostly randomly and not associated with any like event or mission. Odd to say the least.

I'm experimenting with different mallocs. It would be odd since I use the TBB4 just fine in Arma 2 OA beta...

Same here. It kept happening after boot camp drills until finally I couldn't take my Seargent's berating me anymore (after many restarts) on the range so was forced to ENDMISSION. Mission 2 seemed promising but it now ctd's everytime after I disembark by the windmill....:(

I've changed video from Very High to Default with little luck. I see a lot of potential and really very good atmosphere and ain't sorry I bought the game - just wish I could play for more then 10 minutes at a time :p

I was getting dumped by the windmill as well. Then I downloaded, removed, and installed most current video drivers (I was 1 revision behind). Then I rebooted, re-launched and Set Video Memory to highest and I was good for the rest of the evening.

Hey that seems to have worked! So far so good at the windmill and the bad LOD trees seem to be much better.

Edit: Just CTD'ed again at windmill -happens less but there nevertheless :(

I've added the command line to use TBB3 instead of the default TBB4. It's not crashed since then. I've tried default vid mem and highest. I don't think its the video card causing the issue but the memory throwing some errors.

edit: Arma 2 works fine with TBB4 though....

I apologise if I'm being thick here (and I am an Arma vet) but what is TBB3 or TBB4? And what's the command line?

This Game has shown to be lacking with the the crashing and unplayable mulitplayer, I hope this upcoming week they will be able to release a patch for this problem.

Bought IronFront the day before yesterday. Downloaded and installed the first patch (no other mods). Everything went fine all the time. Startet a lot from the editor since the main/only thing so far I've been doing is editing own maps. Suddenly the map refuses to start (crash to desktop during loading phase or after one second being ingame). Haven't made the faintest change in drivers or whatever. Don't know what's going on. New fresh maps from the editor with only a player unit placed into it seems to start. But not the map that I've just recently was able to play crashes. "Some minutes ago" it worked fine, suddenly it refuses, without a faintest change (ok, a little change: REDUCED the number of infantry units placed on the map).

Sounds like something got screwed in the mission.sqm - open it in a text editor and see if there is anything odd.

So far so good with the TBB3 as well as setting Video Card Memory back to Very High (680 2gb).

My game seems to run smooth ... but when I click on the controls I have a CTD...

Another thing I found strange is that after installing the game is created a drive in my PC :confused:

Sounds to me like you've got a case of FADE kicking in! You should really talk to support about that, since the only times I've heard of this problem it's someone pirating the games.
