ArmA II OA randomly freezes

Recommended Posts

Hello

Sorry if this is in the wrong spot, but this is getting unbearable.

Whenever I'm playing, the game just freezes, the audio continues, (sometimes it repeats the last tiny clip of audio, over and over), but the picture is frozen.

I can never fluently play a mission with out having to CTRL+ALT+DEL out. Task Manager says that Arma 2 is not responding.

Sometimes I can play for 15 minutes, others it could be less than 1 minute. This only happens ingame, never at the menu or in the editor.

I could play the game perfectly fine about 2 months ago. I took a break from it, and now its a mess. I have a lot of mods installed, but I had the same ones installed a few months ago and they run fine.

Please help.

It could be a ton of things.

First: make sure your PC is in order and there is not a 3 year old layer of dust on the videocard & CPU cooler, also make sure DirectX is installed, latest motherboard (intel / AMD) chipset drivers. Latest video drivers & sound drivers. Also have your HDD defragmented, cleaned up and disable virus scanners as a test

Second: I would start by removing your player profile (temp save on desktop) from the documents folder to make sure this has no errors. Also remove all addons from the arma folder and remove all missions from the SP & MP missions folder. Also remove all userconfig folders etc. > Start with a clean game (maybe also reinstall the latest arma patch)

Third: Make sure the mission you run is stable etc and test some BIS missions
