sas troop 0 Posted September 7, 2012 Hi folks! Experiencing first major problem with the game for years. I recently had a kind of disc failure. No one knows what actually was that after all. Problem went gone and I was happy of that. Problems appear now... with ArmA. Description is pretty simple: game freezes in very random moment when I play around in editor (playing with units), usually after 15 seconds to 2-3 minutes after launching a preview option. No error, just freeze and its very hard to reach task manager to switch it of, usually reboot is the only option. Testing on vanilla ArmA 2 right now, but noticed that on modded Arrowhead, so I presume the problem will still occur also on OA. I have reinstalled ArmA 2 so far, prior I have cleared registry with CCleaner to eliminate all remnants after deinstallation. As I said, reinstalled ArmA 2 ALSO freezes. Noticed the problem touches probably infantry only, haven't yet spotted that in the vehicle, but it could just be a pure luck. I am convinced when I will also install and patch Arrowhead the problem will continue as it was before reinstall. Has anyone had something like that? How to deal with it? Need to admin also, when fighting a disc failure I have remaped it completely with MHDD program that was supposed to clear a single damaged block in the disc. Havent changed a single thing in my rig, its more or less: Windows XP 32 Bit Quad Core Q9550 4x 2,83GhZ 4GB RAM Radeon HD4890 1GD Vapor-X 320GB Hard Disc, Samsung produced, 5 years old Guys, help me out, I count on you!

SuperShot524 1 Posted October 2, 2012 Hey I have the same exact problems that you are having. When ever I play Arma 2 (mainly editor), my PC freezes, and the only fix is to reboot. But my PC is brand new, and I'm suprised that it's having these issues. Sadly, I don't have any suggestions or anything... I guess I just need to deal with it... My Specs: Windows 7 64bit 8-Core AMD Fx-8150 8 Gigs of ram Radeon 7770 1gb Crossfire X Mode 1Tb Hard Drive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrisb 196 Posted October 2, 2012 The only couple of times I had freeze problems were using SMK and SLX mods together, but that was standing dead type thing whereby the unit froze and not the game and also using GL4 with some other mods, made the game freeze for around 20seconds at preview, but it sorts itself out, never had to reboot. Little off topic, but @SuperShot524, how you finding your 8 core, 8150, I was really tempted to go for one for a3, however went in the other direction, but still like the look of it. How’s it perform on V/high settings, what fps etc, sorry completely off topic this (perhaps pm me), but would love to know how an arma2 player is finding the 8150.:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
