TheMakaan 12 Posted December 15, 2013 Hello, Was hoping the new patch would fix my problem but Dam it no!! it did't. Really getting annoyed, each time I wanna play Arma 3 I must reinstall my video card drivers ?? Any Dev out there that can help ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furret 0 Posted December 15, 2013 Installing new drivers is easy, search on google for: "guide to installing video card drivers nvidia" and click the first link. Latest drivers are here: http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/70737 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnKalo 657 Posted December 16, 2013 I may have the solution to your problem. As much as I can figure out from your error report, you need to download: nvwgf2um.dll You know just google it and download it. Then place it in your Arma 3 directory. Best of Luck.

Furret 0 Posted December 17, 2013 I would strongly disagree with the above post, adding dlls is not a good thing to start doing. The problem seems to be graphics card related, perhaps try: Uninstall graphics drivers and restart Use a tool like driver sweeper to completely remove all remnants of the driver Install new drivers fresh from the website. edit: googling "nvwgf2um.dll" provides some interesting reading.

TheMakaan 12 Posted December 18, 2013 yeah I've done these before, nothing seems to fix the problem, I've even reinstalled arma.. deleted it and installed it again.. I've cleaned out all my driver files and still nothing... every time I play Arma 3 I need to reinstall the drivers.. I have no clue whats going on.. and its bloody annoying Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jawa Overlord 10 Posted December 25, 2013 I too am having a similar problem. I'm using AMD Radeon 6800 series, windows 7, i5, 8gb ram and have run plenty of other games fine. However, when I try to start Arma it glitches past the splash screens and freezes/crashes at the start/main menu. Sometimes when I ctrl alt del to get to task manager it tells me my graphics card has failed but recovered. Please help, I don't want my 35$ to have been wasted!
