mathias_eichinger 64 Posted June 19, 2007 Hi, i just made an interesting observation regarding Patch 1.08. I first installed it on my very own highend PC, but since 1.08 ArmA would not boot up (did not have any problems including up to German 1.05). The specs are: AMD Athlon64 X2 Dual Core 4200+ 2,21 GHz 2 GB RAM GeForce 7950GT, newest Forceware Drivers (updated 10 mintues ago) Windows XP Service Pack 2 German DVD Version, fresh install updated to 1.05 Euro, then 1.08 international Today I went on vacation to where I am originally from and installed it on our a little dated "family PC". Guess what? It worked without problems, at least for the 10 minutes I ran it. The specs of the "working" machine are: Intel Pentium 4 3,4 GHz 1 GB RAM Geforce 6600 GT 128MB Windows XP Service Pack 2 German DVD Version, fresh install updated to 1.05 Euro, then 1.08 international Soo...my intention is to collect as much as possible hardware information on working (ArmA booting up) and non-working (ArmA not booting up) systems. Might be a hardware issue, even more so that one or two guys from the "Patch 1.08 not booting up" thread went as far as to format the hard drive, re-install Windows XP and then ArmA and nothing else. Where could software conflicts come from when you have no other software installed? I hope this thread can be helpful to narrow that nasty problem down.

Maddog011 0 Posted June 19, 2007 The most important thing you are missing from your spec here is your DVD DRIVE model ,interface,number and SCSI or IDE devices connected at the time ARMA is lunching.Nothing else is important for securom remember.Only hardware atapi layers and of course some debugging software.

Vassago 0 Posted June 19, 2007 *BenQ dvd drive (I'll get the detailed specs when I get home) I have issues once in a while, where the game won't boot, or it will tell me to insert a non-backup version of the game (though I'm using the original DVDROM). Doesn't happen often though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
