Black Screen

Recommended Posts

I'm having an issue that I cannot seem to locate a solution to. It only occurs in Arma 2 and the addons. Arma 3 and all my other games run just fine, on high or highest settings. The issue is that the game will freeze up for a moment, as if loading something, and then the screen will go completely black, however the game will still be running. I can hear myself moving, the radio, vehicles, etc. I cannot seem to locate a solution despite searching various forums. I have included my specs and can provide dxdiag should it be required.

Specs:

OS: Windows 7 Professional 64bit

Processor: Intel Core i7 2.67Ghz (8 CPUs)

Memory: 8192mb RAM DDR3

Video Card: Nvidia Geforce GTX 275 4068mb

Sound: Creative SB X-Fi

I'm at a lost as to what I should do to rectify the issue. If there is a solution on these forums, I was unable to locate it, but I would appreciate it if anyone that does know of such solution, would be so kind as to provide a link, or otherwise offer aid.

Thank you for taking the time to read and respond!

Are there any error or warning messages in

a) the RPT file

b) the Windows system & application logs (Event viewer)

c) if NVIDIA has a log ib the event viewer (like the ACEE log for AMD cards) take a look there also.

You mentioned "Arma 2 & addons". Does this happen with vanilla A2 / CO?

It's a bit variable - varies with OS & whether you installed from a DVD or Steam.

Easiest was is to search C:\ for "Arma2OA.rpt".

Make a shortcut to it on the desktop for convenience; the RPT messages are very useful when bumbling one's way into scripting as well as troubleshooting,
