patb43 0 Posted December 13, 2006 hi, I just got the game and from what I've been able to see it looks amazing. Sadly, I am experiancing strange graphical phenonema which at certain times obstruct a small part of my view, and at other times make the game completely unplayable. Here are two screenshots, the first being not bad and the second being unplayable: here is a minimal example of the problem and here is an example of the problem at its worst This problem seems to sometimes happen instantly and other times after a fairly short delay. One other thing is that this only occurs when i am near a group of buildings, or if i zoom in to a group of buildings. When I am in the open country or have buildings only in the distance, the game works beautifully. my specs: amd athlon 64 dual core 3800+ 1 gig RAM ati all in wonder 9600 series (128 MB) does anyone have any ideas? thanks.

Shiz 0 Posted December 13, 2006 Hi m8, I have the same problem since i updated my Gfx drivers to the latest for ATI Cards. I reckon it is a gfx driver issue and hopefully BI will sort this problem by the time UK versoin of ArmA is out. It seems to get alot worse when i get in  a heli and fly around, but it has also happened whilst i have been Infantry. My Spec AMD ATHLON X2 Dual Core 4600+ 2Gb RAM 2X 850XT XFIRE EDITION Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
patb43 0 Posted December 13, 2006 ok i'll try some older drivers. In the meantime, is there a 3rd party program I can d/l that checks GFX card temperature? As I am pretty sure I currently have no means of doing so. thanks. *edit* it seems ATI has released a new set of drivers for my card today (dec 13). I'll try those first and report if they solve the problem or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChopperSpirit 0 Posted December 13, 2006 I read in the german support forums that that for the ATI Cards the Driver V 5.8 seems to solve the problem. At least for some of them. You can get it here. I got the same trouble. But didn't find a driver for my nVidia card that solves the problem yet. Greetz Chop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
