SlimPow 1 Posted October 4, 2012 so i downloaded amra 2 and oa and was playing combined ops everything was going great then i got too razor 2 mission and i was on my way too the third red x when the game froze i figured i had been flogging it so i called it a night, the next day reloaded 30 seconds freeze, after numinous times reloading i restarted and it would freeze about a minute into it, i have the steam version so i verified cache 2 files missing, restarted and freeze. so i decided to upgrade my case because everything was running a bit hot went from 2 fans to 8 my specs are as follows i7 3770k 8 gb ram 570gtx 1 ssd 60gb (has os on there win 7 and arma 2+oa) 500gb media hard drive after getting the new case i decided to re-install steam and arma all over again and i did so but only installed arma 2 and was going to play that while i waited for aoe to download. everything was going great now it freezes but oddly enough it does not have to be ctrl alt delete to start again instead when i control alt delete it starts responding again and i can play this is not so great seeing i have to do it every 2 or 3 minutes. i have done everything i can think about and ill list below -tested pc to see if it was a problem noticed it was running hot so i got a whole new case now everything does not go over 45 degrees (new water cooler for cpu) -re installed Arma 2 -installed latest drivers -heard there was a problem with the 8800gt and freezing so even tho i have a 570 i down-clocked it about 100mhz on both core and memory didnt help -tried with hyper threading and without -installed phyx and directx - tried a number of different settings eg view distance, video memory on different settings - installed and had working the latest beta drivers - Tried launch options such as -winxp -before re-install uninstalled play withsix (launcher) im out of idea's and really want to finish harvest red all other missions as far as i can tell play normal (operation arrowhead got too 3rd mission without one hangup) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Severloh 4070 Posted October 4, 2012 Hi, Try another mission to see if you get the same issue, cant say its the missions your playing but we want to eliminate any possibility that it is. Go to sp, then to editor, pick a island, then double click on the map anywhere, then hit preview (bottom right), once ingame just run around and shoot, and see what happens. Also be sure to shutdown any programs in the background. Have you defragged your hard drive lately, scanned for registry errors, check your temps for your cpu, and gpu? Lastly locate your RPT and post it, RPT is a log file that the game generates and can be opened with notepad, anything bad going on in the game will eb reported on the rpt. Information on where to find the rpt can be seen here: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/RPT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
