AA Crashed My OS (Twice)

[Krasny 0]

i'm playing the sabotage scenario after the watertower sniper scenario

i get to a point where the baloon goes up, save the game

when i load the game AA CTDs repeatedly

i gave up on that save game, reverted to the map and started again

after about 1 minute my entire system locks up, forcing me to reboot

i thought this wasn't possible using vista

Well without information we cant help you.

System Specs / ArmA Version / Show the RPT File / And If your using Vista .. Many Many Times has been said ArmA is not for Vista.. Does the ArmA Box Say Vista Anywhere in the minimum/recommended specs.. nope

That is most likely your problem but who knows with the lack of info.

[Krasny 0]

well a simple 'screw you' would have sufficed and is not very constructive

i looked at my DVD box: it says minimum specs are windows XP, implying versions of windows after XP, it will work, and versions of windows prior to XP it won't

where is my RPT file?

In Vista every game crashes, but because of the bugged beta drivers for the soundcards.

With activated onboard sound Arma and other games don`t crash.

see that's much better

i did not install any drivers for my sound card, windows recognised it when i inserted it

i will try hunting down more recent drivers

it probably indeed will be a driver-related problem.

But on the box it says:

min requirements

software: Windows 2000 or XP

recommended requirements

software: windows XP and directx9

windows is not something like a CPU where you could compare XP(2 Ghz) with vista(3Ghz). It's an operating system and as such, it should be either written their or else not supported.

Vista isn't a next version of XP, it was build from nothing. it is not like windows XP being an upgrade of windows 2000.

it's a matter of semantics

actually sincei installed the latest vista patch for my soundcard and video card AA has been as stable as a rock

also the video is a lot smoother

Tried using the editor...went to preview my game...died and the screen went black and had to hard re-boot my PC.

Screw You Back, How the hell do you expect us to help you without the correct information I hope it never works for you

well if you had read this thread, AA is now stable for me

so HA HA HARDY HA! to you

not vista compatible my arse

thank goodness you surly fanbois are a tiny minority on this board

[W0lle 1050]

At least the 'fanboi' tried to help you, right?

Instead offending him you should be grateful.

This way you wont make you any friends here, be warned.
