EZJack 1 Posted October 25, 2012 Basically, I'm hoping that somebody can take a look at a my MDMP files for me, I have tried installing programs to view them such as WinDbg. but I get failed installs every time.... The only file I can view is my RPT file... I've been struggling with this for about three weeks now, and I've literally done everything under the stars to try and solve this. I get a random CTD (ArmA2OA has stopped working) every time I play.. Some times after two minutes some times after a half hour of play. I've re-downloaded (D2D) and reinstalled the game from scratch, rolled back video drivers, taken all mods off, lowered video settings, tried every start-up parameter there is, reseated hardware, and even yesterday reformatted my computer completely then reinstalled the game from a fresh download all to no avail. I tend to crash with complicated games (ea. many AI , lots of activity) and less with simple 4-8 player muti-player missions, and never that I've seen if just sitting in the lobby. I believe it started a few weeks ago after I updated my video driver, though my time line on all of this is a bit fuzzy due to rage. This has lead me to believe rolling my video driver back would help.. but it has not. I know if I could only read the MDMP files I could have more of a clue of whats going on, thats where I come to you for help. I've already sent Dwarden an e-mail about it per his post days ago, but I've gotten no response. This is the second crash from my clean reformat/re-install so the MDMP file should be pretty empty except the two crashes today. It has me at wits end... so I hope you can help me solve this problem because I really do miss playing the game.

[frl]myke 14 Posted October 25, 2012 Try the beta patches as they contain some crash fixes. I tend to crash with complicated games (ea. many AI , lots of activity) and less with simple 4-8 player muti-player missions, and never that I've seen if just sitting in the lobby. Could you monitor your CPU temps? What does it reach on AI heavy missions? What is average temp? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have tried beta's as stated in my post as well, 3 different builds actually.. and they do not fix this. I still crash just as randomly, they make no difference. As far as CPU temps, I run the new Ivy 22nm on a corsair liquid cooled loop. It usually hovers in the 20's celsius and I've never seen the CPU go above mid 30's celsius. My video card is a Nvidia 580 though, which does get quite hot, idles about 40-45 and will really get up there when gaming, but I've been assured by Nvidia this is normal. Also this is I have no other problems with any other games I play, and some are just as intense graphically as ArmAII. And as I said this just came out of the blue, I've been playing on this rig just fine for months and then this random problem crops up.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[frl]myke 14 Posted October 25, 2012 Sorry, probably missed the beta part in your post. So, temps are excellent, fine we could rule this out. I'm not familiar with Intel CPU's, does the Ivy Bridge have Hyperthreading? Di you already tried to turn it off? It is known that more than often HT can cause problems especially in games.
