skokkinos 0 Posted April 23, 2007 I had the following problem in ArmA 1.05: Whenever I opened the Map, Gear or Options dialog (by pressing the Esc key) during a game (SP & MP), ArmA was freezing for 3-4 seconds and when I was closing the above it was freezing again for the same period of time. As you can understand this is a great amount of time during combat causing me to get shot like a sitting duck! It's also very very annoying having to wait everytime you'd want to check the map or change gear. I'm running ArmA on an Acer 9815 laptop with Intel c2d T7200 CPU, nVidia Geforce Go 7600 GS/256mb and 2GB of Ram. After a week trying to figure out what's the issue I had started to believe that it was my graphic card's driver problem. But today I found out what the problem actually is (with help from sfmadmax from our forums).. It was my USB keyboard causing the problem!!!!!!! If you start ArmA, start a mission and during the game unplug the USB cable of the keyboard and then plug it again everything returns to normal until you reboot your system... The keyboard I'm using is a Logitech G11 with latest drivers. Also the same problem exists on other people's pcs with different USB keyboards than mine. So it hasn't have to do with the USB devices themselves but with ArmA. Please BIS if you read.. Correct these kind of bugs. It's a shame for such a game to lose fans because of these annoying bugs. If anyone has found any workaround (not plugging and unplugging the keyboard all of the time) please share.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok also works for a zboard. hmmmmm I had a delay of about 1 secs with map and gear, now gone!!! Repeat once your on a map then unplug your USB keyboard and mouse, plug in again (my mouse runs from my keyboard!, wait 10 secs, then instant map, gear, and entry to viechles! WTF is going on here how on earth can USB cause this issue??????? Note PS2 keyboard and mouse users DO NOT unplug your mouse or keybaord if your PC is on. THIS IS VERY BAD. USB only! If you don't know what USB or PS2 is step away from the PC, read the manual.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
