AussieRob 10 Posted November 17, 2013 G'day, I am doing this as a last resort, I have spent a few hours scanning through google search for solutions on my problem but I have had no luck at all. So here it goes... When I click to start up the ARMA II OA expansion I get the usual loading bar with the last two boxes unticked, leading into a black screen and my mouse cursor with the loading icon. However, after a couple seconds it exits and I get the "ARMA II has stopped working..." pop-up with no solution to the problem or any explanation. I have noticed this started to happen since I decided to switch back to playing the DayZ mod after playing 'Invasion 1944' mod for a while. Upon disabling Invasion 1944 and trying to fire DayZ back up in the program, DayZ Commander, it required a few updates that I missed out on. Whilst I was updating DayZ, I decided to also download 'DayZ Origins' via Commander to try it out. This is when the problem began, and I followed a few steps to see if it could be fixed as follows: -Restart the computer -Run DayZ and Arma II OA as administrator -Strip Arma II of DayZ mod -Strip Arma II of all mods -Re-install Arma II OA and play with no mods Please note that I did NOT get this game through STEAM, I bought the Combined Operations pack from a store and downloaded it from the disc. So I could not do the 'verify integrity' option via Steam. None of these methods seemed to work, the interesting thing I noted though was that the original Arma II worked. It seems the problem is in the OA expansion. Most of the troubleshooting topics I have seen involve using Steam to some extent. I have already brought this problem up on the DayZ forums and they referred me to here. What should I do?

AussieRob 10 Posted November 22, 2013 So without any luck I decided to re-purchase this game via Steam and delete any previous Arma files or mod extensions. The issue still remains, even after trying the 'verify integrity' option via steam which stated I had one file broken and still did not fix it.

tonygrunt 10 Posted November 22, 2013 If I am not mistaken the igdumdim32.dll file is part of the Intel integrated graphics driver, it shouldn't be used if you are using the AMD 7970M GPU. Maybe something is wrong with the automatic switching between the GPUs, have you tried forcing to always use the AMD 7970M GPU? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
