Graphical glitches and artifacts

[Wireded 0]

I have some real problems with this game.

No crashes as such, just graphical glitches etc.

My specs;

P4 3.06GHZ HT CPU

1Gb RAM

250GB SCSI Hard disk

XP Pro

ATI X800 PRO 256MB Card

(Catalyst 7.2)

I get really horrible artifacts on screen and some models are not even textured. Some trees appear all blocky. Doesn't seem to matter what resolution or advanced gfx settings I use it still looks awful.

I can play the original OFP and it looks so much nicer, better texture quality etc.

Arma looks awful even when there is no graphical corruption on screen.

I don't seem to have any problems in any other games that are graphically challenging.

I've tried disabling shaders and lowering shadows but that doesn't help.

I have only just got the game and installed 1.05 so never tried the basic install or any previous patches. Should I try the basic install instead or 1.02 or 1.04??

There's even a sticky about this problem. Heh. Catalyst 7.2 has a memory leak. Try rolling back your drivers all the way to 6.7. Next time, look around a bit first.
