HHawk 0 Posted February 22, 2007 Well after the intro screen, it crashes back to Windows XP for no apparent reason. Though arma.exe is still running in the background (alt-tab does not work). So I have to kill the task. I checked arma.RPT for errors and this is what I got: Quote[/b] ]===================================================================== == D:\Armed Assault\arma.exe ===================================================================== Exe version: Thu Feb 22 18:01:55 2007 graphics: Â D3D9, Device: Radeon X1900 Series , Driver:ati2dvag.dll 6.14.10.6660 resolution: Â 800x600x32 Addons: Â Desert in ca\desert\, CAIntroAnims in ca\introanims\, CASounds in ca\sounds\ Â CAweapons3_m107 in ca\weapons3\m107\ Â CAweapons3_m16a4_acg in ca\weapons3\m16a4_acg\, CAWheeled in ca\wheeled\ Â CARoads in CA\roads\, CAWheeled3_TT650 in ca\wheeled3\tt650\, CAAir in ca\air\ Â CA_Anims in Ca\Anims\, CAAnimals in CA\animals\, CAUI in ca\ui\ Â CAWeapons in ca\weapons\, CAweapons3_m16a4 in ca\weapons3\m16a4\ Â CAAir3_Su34 in ca\air3\su34\, CACharacters in ca\characters\, CASigns in CA\signs\ Â CAFonts in ca\uifonts\, CAweapons3_m16a4_gl in ca\weapons3\m16a4_gl\ Â CAWeapons3 in ca\weapons3\, CAWheeled3_M1030 in ca\wheeled3\m1030\ Â CAAir3 in ca\air3\, CAMisc in ca\misc\, CAPlants in ca\plants\, CAVoice in ca\voice\ Â CAData in ca\, CALanguage in ca\language\, CAWater in CA\water\ Â CAweapons3_aks74pso in ca\weapons3\aks74pso\ Â CA_Anims_Char in Ca\Anims\characters\, CATracked in ca\tracked\ Â CAweapons3_ksvk in ca\weapons3\ksvk\, Sara in ca\sara\, CAWheeled3 in ca\wheeled3\ Â CABuildings in CA\buildings\, CARocks in CA\Rocks\ Â CAweapons3_m16a4_acg_gl in ca\weapons3\m16a4_acg_gl\ Mods: CA File read error: addons\anims.pbo,79 Error 79 reading file 'addons\anims.pbo' ErrorMessage: De time-outperiode van de semafoor is verlopen.

desertfox 2 Posted February 22, 2007 How about you post your full hardware / software specs instead of bumping the thread ? I'm certain someone might have a tip or two then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I already tried replacing the file, didn't do anything. Exact same filesize as well... Guess I will have to reinstall it all again... If it even helps.

HHawk 0 Posted February 23, 2007 Reinstalled the whole game, and still the same problem... If I don't get this fixed quickly, I will return my game. Been messing around with this game for 2 days already in order to get it running... Sheesh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nephilim 0 Posted February 23, 2007 have you tried starting the game at its lowest possible specs? did you update the arma.exe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it's the refreshrate or something... :S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
desertfox 2 Posted February 23, 2007 - Try deleting your Arma.cfg file. - Did you have an Antivirus program running while installing Arma or even while running it ? - Did you try installing it to a different location, to exclude a bad sector on your HDD ? - Try running a checkdisk task *EDIT* - Stop bumping the thread or you get a format c: through remote assistance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All those things won't help, cause my hardware is top notch. Heatseeker was way more helpful and I am going to try installing it on a different partition.

desertfox 2 Posted February 24, 2007 I don't understand what AV programs, the Arma CFG file or Bad HDD sectors have to do with your Hardware being 'Top Notch'. You are not the sharpest knife in the drawer, are you ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey Deserrat, I think you have been to long in the desert... Maybe dehydrated? Or did you fell on your head when your ape-like momma gave birth to you?

shadow 6 Posted February 24, 2007 Hey Deserrat.....did you fell on your head when your ape-like momma gave birth to you? I see you are new here so I suggest you read the rules, change your attitude, apologize to Desertfox (and his mother) and stop bumping this thread. Next time you'll get a warning-level and a post-restriction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
