1st ctd, now white screen (HDR?)

[sphoenix 11]

Hi everyone, thank you for trying to help me.

First off, my RPT file is a wee bit huge (2Mb) so, what part should I present here?

Then, this is the problem I have:

I'm loading the game fine, and as it's done loading, you're supposed to get on the main menu, I have a CTD.

I've tried reinstalling and it's still there...

This happens to me with and without the beta, with and without my addons.

Thank you very much.

SPhoenix

EDIT: I've got this part from the RPT... Is it enough?

Common sense should tell you that as an absolute minimum you should post your complete system specs including all driver versions being used as well as windows version in use etc. etc. etc.

[sphoenix 11]

Oops, sorry, forgot that indeed

System specs:

- Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 OC 20%

- ASUS P5K Premium Black Pearl Edition

- XFX GeForce 7950GX2 XXX

ForceWare version: 169.21 installed this morning.

- 2*1024 DDR2 PC6400 CAS4 Crucial Ballistix Tracer

- Hiper 580W PSU

- Samsung SyncMaster 2232BW 22" monitor

OS currently running:

- Windows XP Service Pack 2 up-to-date.

Anything else?

Thanks

Does the same error happen, when you run the PC without overclocking?

I would try that at first.

[sphoenix 11]

Something very weird:

I can play CWR but for some odd reason, I can't play vanilla ArmA.

[Mr_Tea 0]

Works all fine for me.

Vanilla ArmA, ArmA & CWR and ArmA & XAM 1.4, all with Patch 1.09 Beta.

[Placebo 29]

CWR CTD'd for me the 5 times I tried the ambush mission (didn't manage to make it to the truck) but 1.09 runs fine (been playing Evolution SP for hours).

[sphoenix 11]

Trade?  

I'll try reinstalling ArmA again but that's more of a desperate action than a rational one.

EDIT: I ran ArmA one last time before reinstalling... It worked!

Go figure!  

Well at least it's working now.

But I have another problem...

[Placebo 29]

Have you tried the maxmem command line? eg -maxmem=512 (or 256,1024 etc etc)

[sphoenix 11]

I never needed it, it always ran perfectly with enough performance.

Thank you for the help.

I'm currently posting another thread...

[sphoenix 11]

Hi everybody...

I just have another problem: everytime the scene suddenly changes, or I go to the desktop and back with Alt+Tab, or simply launch the game, the scene is bright white and slowly getting back to normal, just as if I was looking at the sun and then back to normal.

I've tried fiddling with the HDRPrecision value to see if that'd help; it wouldn't.

It's better you stick to one troubleshooting thread, even if the actual issue has changed (we can easily edit the title), otherwise people can give you information that's wasting their time and yours due to the suggestions being covered in the other thread.

[Placebo 29]

Might be worth mentioning what settings you're using in ArmA?

[sphoenix 11]

Of course.
