Windowed Major Bug? & AA

Recommended Posts

My Specs are : 256mb Nvidia 7800GTX, 3.2 Dual Core Pentium processor, 2 gigs of 533mhz DDR2 RAM.

As you can see my specs are easily enough for the recommended of ArmA. After playing the game i had a really crap FPS and the game looked shoddy too. I just figured meh, wait for patches n stuff might be solved.

So today i decided to try out the game fullscreen and run at 1280x1024 instead of my windowed 1024x768. Instantly the freaking menu's even became so much clearer!? I jumped into the game and it ran so much smoother!?

I cranked up the graphics settings to everything on high (apart from AA and disable shadows) and the game looks so much nicer and runs so much nicer.

Note: this is the only game i have ever encountered windowed problems on my computer with confused_o.gif

This shows the serious awful windowed support the game must have, problem is - i only play games windowed  confused_o.gif

Can you guys fix the windowed support seriously soon? Also i turned up my Anti Aliasing settings from low to medium, and instantly the game became very blurry mad_o.gif, this must be a bug. I set it back down to low and everything looks clear again. smile_o.gif

Question: Which driver are you running, a current one or one months old?

I knew someone would say that lol. Because i just play all my games windowed and thats how im used to it. If a game is only fullscreen i rarely play it and it becomes a waste of money. Just my personal preference.

Im using Forceware 93.81 - most recent beta ones i think. Pisses me off how Nvidia have totaly forgotton about XP non 8 Series cards.

Hmmm, I thought I've seen newer drivers (higher version number) etc... I might be mistaken with Vista Drivers, ... have you taken a look here: http://downloads.guru3d.com/

I had similair issues that you describe with weird font, weird unfocussed view etc, with older drivers on my 8800.

Well theres aloada random drivers on there as ive looked before but i am not sure which can be trusted etc. Alot of them are just 8 Series drivers with a tweaked file to allow all cards.
