1.08 Troubleshooting thread.

[mattxr 9]

This thread is for all your 1.08 problems, i guess i can start it off.

Defualt Settings Set to Normal, With Terrian Detail set to Default. Veiw Distance 1200

Every so oftern my ArmA will Lock Out Freeze and sometimes give the error message 8007000e. I have tried using Max=512 and 1024 with no luck and also settings to low which gave lod bugs but who needs low settings lol.

Also Sometimes not always when looking though vehicle windows when they are in the hangers the hangers dissapear only looking though the car windows.

Allright i was wondering when the sprocket website updates their patch to version 1.08? ii this ever happen or do you have to manually update to patch 1.08 after you bought it from sprocketidea.com?

[mattxr 9]

You have to manually Update to 1.05 then manualy update again to 1.08

[Törni 0]

New patch new problems. Have not even finished downloading the patch

[Goldline 0]

But all i want to know is if sprocketidea.com ii ever make version 1.08 available for download?

[mattxr 9]

Keep this clean, i have been testing the patch for a week, you will proberly not notice them.

So post in the 1.08 releases thread and buzz off out of the TROUBLESHOOTING thread, thanks

Voice Over Net:

[*] Direct Speak Voice gets lower volume when you put up Radio Volume... It would be simply cool if the Direct Speak volume goes UP together with the RADIO and not with the normal ingame effects, or sth...

[*] Still sometimes problem of a looping Voice or problems with hearing eachother, rejoining helps..

(Quality really is a lot better though, esp at vonCodecQuality=10; :P

Server (Windows 2003 Server, DC):

[*] When starting up ArmA_Server.exe with the super remote management software: ServerDOC (www.serverDOC.com), a message appears: "This software requires Windows 98SE, 2000, blabalba" whereas, booting up the exe normally there is no such problem. Toying with compatibility settings and other stuff was not helpful.

Can you confirm we are now able to reassign joystick buttons correctly ? I won't be able to test myself until later but I do like the fact the centre of grav has changed now, should catch a few flyers out.

i second that, the 1.07 beta stopped my 360 controller working (for some reason the analogue stick button was set to back in menu and i couldn;t change it.

about fps? there are some improvements??

[neutrix 0]

I just got the 8007000e error message. I have never had it before . Also I am getting random unexplained crashes to desktop after 10-15 minutes in the game. I haven't noticed much difference on FPS visually, but I haven't run fraps or anything to actually benchmark it yet.

"Le module de sécurité requis ne peut pas être activé.

Try running the game with -maxmem=768 or -maxmem=512, it was a great resolvement under 1.07Beta.

Also try the Texture Detail setting: "Default", as it automaticly tests for memory amounts etc

I got this in 1.05 also but not 1.07+

[sickboy 13]

1.07- you mean (it was a beta/pre release of 1.07), while the test-beta patch for 1.06 was named "1.05+"

Quote[/b] ]about fps? there are some improvements??

AFAIK this is the Troubleshooting Thread, afaik the 1.08 Discussion thread is elsewhere.

Thanks for the tip. I'm running with the texture detail on default, but I'll try changing the maxmem paramter.

[neutrix 0]

Well, I couldn't tell if the maxmem parameter fixed the surface error because it crashed to desktop within 3 minutes of loading the game. . The contents of the log are:

If I am not mistaken, 7.15.11.5845 represents 158.45. Try the latest official driver, but not before first completely removing the NVIDIA DISPLAY Drivers.

http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_158.22.html

First uninstall old ones and after reboot install the other one.

Also for testing purposes make sure you have nothing forced in the Display Settings, so everything is per default "Application Controlled".

Applied 1.08, started with a civil offroad in Paraiso (in editor), drove thru half the town, hd reading like crazy and a frezze for about 5sec then watching my desktop .

Question about the 1.08 patch.

For the US version, do we have to wait for the Atari 1.06-1.08 patch to come out, or can we use the links on the 1st page for the US/Canada version?(1.06-1.08)

I am patched up to 1.07 beta now. Also, can you just patch over the 1.07 with the new 1.08 patch?

Thanks

I'd prefer not to go back to the 158.24's if possible, as I have had the same problem since the 158.18 WHQL drivers. That and someone else posted that they get a crash with the 158.24's. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I have disabled all ArmA profiles that I was running (only for SLI, which is now disabled). You know my driver version, DX is up to date, sound drivers are up to date. I'm really not sure what to do .
