Awful texture / LOD pop in, any advice?

[Acterveld 1]

Here are some images, it doesn't look AS BAD on the smaller res screen shots, this is with default vid memory and high texture detail:

Textures constantly pop in and buildings, cars, etc all look blurry and like smeared horse poop until I get close.

I have quite a fast HDD and also I have a SSD but not enough room to install ARMA on it, could read/write speed be the problem?

ANY advice would be great, doesn't make the game unplayable but just a small thing that fucks me off.

Tried ALL settings in advance video, changing cores, disabling hyper threading, changing max allocated ram.

Main specs: i7 2600k GTX 570 8GB RAM

Yes that's a nice rig that you have there.

So you shouldn't be having any performance issues.

SSD definitely help in OA, particularly with LoD thrashing.

Try these tweaks, in particular the one about getting the latest beta:

And let us know how you get on

Cheers for the quick reply,

I've already tried all the settings you have suggested in that thread (thanks for the info about disabling hyper threading! Improved my FPS greatly)

Apart from that none of the other options had an effect on it. I'm yet to try the mods so I'll give them a go later but any other info on how to fix the vanilla build would be awesome.

But yeah. If I can't find a fix I'll have to live with it, not a huge problem but it's such a gorgeous game and I'm missing out haha.

Also I've tried basically every combination of graphical settings, still no luck. Wondering if the gtx 570's 1.25 GB VRAM is the problem as that's an odd figure in terms of gpus.

You could be onto something there.

I'd keep Vid Mem at Default, Push Object Detail to Very High and ensure you run the latest beta which includes fixes for correctly detecting VRAM size

I'd keep Vid Mem at Default, Push Object Detail to Very High and use the following command to hardset the vid memory of your card:

Which command? hehe
