8007000e Error in Vista

[Batstat 10]

With xp sp2 I still get this error with 1.08, if I don't use -maxmem parameter.

I have choosed, the new 1.08 option, default under advanced texture.

Gpu is gtx8800

I got Vista Ultimate 64bit version,

E6600

EVGA 8800 GTX

4gigs of Kingston ram

EVGA nForce 680i mobo

Seagate 200gb harddrive

X-fi Xtreme gamer

Both vanilla USA retail version (which I think is 1.5) and 1.8 gives me this problem, making the game simply unplayable.

And judging from the length of this thread... will this ever be solved? It's a damn shame that I paid $39.99 for nothing as of right now.

I'm sure, well... I hope that Suma can fix this as soon as possible cause i cant play now.

Its maybe an game engine problem.

Mere seconds into the first Mission in 1.08 (and is it just me, or is it now a heap harder? - the old red truck used to have some extra mines in it, but the new tan truck is empty. Misers.)

Cannot create system memory surface DXT5,2048x2048 (size 5592416 B)

OK  

---------------------------

I tried resetting the video settings to Default... same problem.

The time after that, it survived a little longer, but then crashed with a "The program has stopped working" message mid mission.

Plus, there's now a new "pulsing framerate" - every second or so, it slows down noticeably, then returns to normal (or a little faster than normal), then slows down again...

I am truly disheartened and unhappy with ArmA. Nothing about it has gone well for me, from the Sprocket system being broken through to the bugs in the game.

I think I'm going to give up on it for 6 months. The wait for 1.08 was forever, and now we're faced with the same old problems plus this weird heartbeat framerate, well, I've just lost interest.

I can't even be bothered trying -maxmem this time. If anyone asks, I'll tell them to avoid ArmA until BIS start testing it better on a wider variety of systems.

Not since the third patch for BF2 have I had such a poor experience.

System, in case anyone's interested:

AMD X2 4400+ on Nforce 4 board

Vista x64

2GB

ATI X1950 Pro

Other Games Work Fine..

lol it was solved for me on 1.07hotfix.

Was getting this a lot since 1.08 patch was installed. However I have rolled back my ATI driver back to version 8.33.0.0, dunno if this is a catalyst version or what. Was the version on my computer when I got it 2 months ago and so far no crashes *touches wood*

In my entire gaming career, since the dawn of games like Wings of Fury, Test Drive and Wolfenstein 3D I have never been as frustrated as I am with this game.

My honest opinion is that Armed Assault is a disaster, quite frankly I'm in awe of myself for not turning to violence and destroying stuff around me...

I'm on a brand new computer, which in my humble opinion should easily get this gaming working;

Dual core 2 E6600 2,4ghz - 2 gig ram, Nvidia Geforce 8800GTX 768mb ram, vista 32.

I'm getting thrown to desktop like crazy,8007000e error, or just a warning saying the program has stopped working. WTF GUYS?!

And yes I've tried all different settings, resolutions, maxmem etc...

I read somewhere that BI had released the patch and gone on vacation. I'm starting to believe this..... How come there is no official statements regarding the vast amount of problem people are having with their program. If they are on vacation I hope the weather is pissing down on them.

My 2 cents; Bohemia Interactive are killing themselves with this kind of substandard programming.

I want BI to make an official statement admitting the problems and making a real effort to resolve the issues.

I've spent over 65$ on this game, I expect it to work.

enough said.

Meaning what?

How come this game is the only one not working on Vista....

Anyone tried the latest Nvidia Forceware 160.04 WHQL Drivers for vista yet?

Quote[/b] ]Hmm these drivers are keepers for me ( 64 bit vista ) no 4Gb bug, Oblivion & Battlefield2 are running fine, SLI is working too, no probs so far.

The dx10 demos running fine too, just like 158.45, seems the call of juarez techdemo has less stuttering.

The new drivers doesn't solve this problem.

I think this is a problem with ARMA, not the nvidia drivers.

Games that cannot be played due to crashes/bugs should be complaint about. Granted, flaming is a different deal, but I don't think anyone here is flaming to warrant protecting BI from criticism that it could use.

My HD recently crashed but I was able to partition half of it but had to install Vista rather than ole' faithful XP (long story)

Arma had major LOD bugs, texture deformities and CTD's using the 158.24 driver for my 7900 gs.

This driver-160.04, cleaned up just about all of it,amazing!

FPS back to 35-40 but the one thing is the game often hangs when I try to shut down leaving me to cntrl/alt/del to get out of it.

Thanks Sickboy

P.S- Vista's just weird.

Very nice to hear that those drivers resolved most of your issues mate! Big thanks for reporting back about them!

Even though all drivers for Vista are unoptimized etc, it's still BIS who does not officially support Vista. Atm we need to be happy when shit runs fine under Vista and I guess the choice of BIS, with their limited money and manpower, to first get it all nice and dandy on XP isn't that bad as still 90% of the gamers is on XP/2000.

I do hope however that in the upcoming patch(es) they WILL invest time in getting it running better under Vista etc.

I have the same problem no solution until now !?

p.s. Is it possible to have xp running on a HD and on another Vista running ? ; so when i start the PC i can chose wich OS to use

Sure, no problem at all.

But did you try my posted Drivers?

Im using them, ArmA is still f**ked.

But the Call of Juarez DX10 Tech Demo, COH DX10, had big FPS jump.

Other DX9 games (Oblivion, LOTRO, etc) are running sweet, only ArmA dont like my Vista.

[vilas 477]

i will test this weekend 1.08 if it will be crushing like 1.07

i hope not (with or without -maxmem 512)

but Sickboy:

it is something wrong with the game, i was complaining alot on HDR since 1.02, now in 1.08 i see no pulsing , the game is not annoying,

so if patch solved this it only means there WAS something wrong in engine for 200 %, not in PC, drivers & etc !

in game, and all complains were not flaming, bitching or other, if i buy product it must function !

I did just that, installed XP on another drive.

XP install will overwrite Vistas bootfiles, to fix this you boot with your Vista DVD and choose to repair bootfiles. Then it will only boot Vista again so download "VistaBootPro", with that prog you can set up a dualboot bootfile. Works like a charm.

I must say, i didnt expect Arma to run as good on XP as it does. From everything on low/very low with constant crashes to everything very high and rock stable!

There is no where I say otherwise Vilas.

Doesn't mean that some problems can not be solved by having ur drivers up2date.

[CameronMcDonald 146]

I was in the same boat as all you guys, and after I tried fiddling with my settings I managed to get things fairly stable. I still have the rare 8007000e event, but very rarely.

Try this:

-maxmem=256 (this seems to be the only setting that works for me). I'm not sure how this will go on older machines, but it does the trick for me, although I'm on a pretty high-end system.

Also, put everything on high/very high, except AA, AF (put these on low) and PP (put this on high).

Same problem again.

After some time looking like this

Funny thing....game seems to work perfect when i use "try" in the armory section.... played for an hour, with the only glitch being the inside drivers view of the armored personell carrier, the graphics there are screwed...everything else seems ok. No fps loss, 800700e warning or anything.

When I play the single missions I get the 800700e error 10 out of 10 times...or the game just hangs while loading, can move the mouse in the pre-game menu, but can't click anything..hang up....what gives..
