Hi there

I experience some hard reboots (no blue screen or anything, just a simple reboot) after an hour or so MP gameplay. this is what the last few lines of .rpt is saying:

Warning: no idc entry inside class RscDisplayStart/controls/Progress2

Generating ST on the fly is very slow

All you guys who are complaining of no extra performance have got monster super rigs! You ain't going to get any extra performance It's for guy's like me who ain't loaded or spoilt by mummy and daddy who have a "normal" rig who get extra performance. Mine went from 12fps up to 32 fps. Specs= p4@3.0ghz.1 gig ram and nvidea 7600gs 500mb. How you guys going to get more than the 60 or 70 your already getting??

for me performance is great!

DELL XPS 1710 (Laptop)

Centrino T7600 @ 2.33GHz

Here's my 2 cents. 1.14 and BATTLE EYE have completely screwed up this game. BE isn't stoppping cheating and is bugged so bad you cant play Arma sometimes. 1.14 has now shown graphincs probs and crappy running servers et etc. Just on my machine alone. 1.08 I ran absolutely no problems with every single thing maxed out. The only prob in .08 was scripting idiots that think it's funny to frag a server, htese guys are as usefull as a lawyer lol. I say everybody roll it back till BI get this squared away. And lets hope that Arma2 isn't AFU from day one. What happened to the PC game world, are they all worried about the low-brow consoles or what. I have givin every benefit of the doubt with this, but now it's just too much....

a) as of now, the only servers I've seen cheating on were not fully protected, either no signature checking or nothing at all

b) there is no complete cheat proof software. BE "not stopping cheat" is absolutely nothing new.

c) BE was never meant to stop script-injection cheats which are the most visible cheating in ArmA. Don't complain it doesn't stop these cheats, it wasn't meant to in the first hand. Play on signature-protected servers instead.

d) as far as BE stopping me to play, or graphics issues, I've yet to see them in 1.14. If you cared to read a bit of the feedback, you'd have seen with 1.14 more praise than any other patch before, which just says it all : even though some may have issues with the patch (and it'd be great that BI continue looking into these issues), 1.14 has done more good than harm to the game.

[StlKrash 0]

Listen I am just frustrated with the 1.14.  I have been helping $able with issues some have with BE etc.  From what I understand from heim it's a net code in Arma itself on some not all systems.  The prob is, if you have a problem system then your screwed from playing on better servers.  I am sure it will in time get fixed. What gets me is some days there is no problems at all with anything. Then the next day it's imposible to play.

Sorry if this has been mentioned already.But I ve read on the http://armed-assault.de/ that this patch is final.Is it true? In this site it`s jast written it is the latest update.So is it the last or the latest patch for Arma?

[StlKrash 0]

No idea, Arma 2 is supposed to be out in Sept. So you never know. I read Micro$ is stoppping XP support in June, now I don't believe it but you never know. Unless you read it here as this is BI's forum or the official site, I would not pay that much attention to it.

[Heatseeker 0]

There are people reporting graphical corruption with this patch.

I experience this too, though in my case it seems to be quite rare (4 times now), its still a bad surprise for a patch that is considered final.

2 gigs of xms2

I only had time to save the pic and exit the game, if i left it running it would have frozen my PC.

Vanilla ArmA:

In this situation, only restarting the game will help.

Hello Chaos

Shortly after I had experienced similar error my graphics adapter died. Thanks to ATI Technology such problems like graphics error in general, now belong to the past.

[walker 0]

Hello Chaos

Those look like graphic card errors

I think you have either:

1) A graphic card that is not getting enough juice. What is you PSU?

2) Overheating problem. Hot weather where you are? Better Fans needed

3) A graphic card that is on the fritz

4) Timing errors caused by bad drivers for GPU or possibly sound card or even CPU.

5) Overclocking errors

Kind regards walker

[Chaos 0]

I have those probs ONLY with ArmA. No other games / aplications are threated. In this case first since version 1.09.

4 GB DDR-2 RAM PC-6400

550W BeQuiet PSU

Thermaltake Soprano case with 2x80cm fans

CPU temperature (now) 48°

Hi Chaos

Looked back and checked your previous posts. Correct me if I am wrong but your problem is getting worse?

Kind regards walker

[Chaos 0]

Yes, it was is getting worse since 1.14. Before i have only one - two times the "crazy colour bug". But the textures problems (like posted by others), i had since 1.11. Even after i installing a new patch, the problem was getting a little bit worse.

All problems will comes sporadic and sometimes both at same time - one times in 2-3 days.

[whisper 0]

I can be a hardware issue even if it happens only in one single game, provided this game is using the function that makes the hardware go faulty, pushing the enveloppe in terms of VRAM, shaders, simultaneous calculation, or any combination of anything.

I've seen my PC degrade more and more (screen freeze, then BSOD, then PC lockup), starting with ArmA, then ET:QW, etc.... because of a PSU that was getting old and failing to deliver enough output to the CG.

Hi Chaos

Sorry to be pedantic Chaos but I am trying to clear this up and and my first question was not as precise as it should have been so I have rephrased it.

Is it worse this week than it was when you first installed 1.14?

Kind Regards walker

[kklownboy 43]

i had the texture craziness too. was all fine on 1.14 then out of now where it was all wacky, took along time to get back to normal/not do it. ALL of my specs are solid . temp PSU ect. Well i do have a Nvidia vidcard and drivers..... but i "fixed it" by deleting my arma.cfg, this was after a driver uninstall reinstall, And testing my in game settings( lowering) till it was just about gone, no wacky stuff just a lock up/ freeze or two.... and now i am at hours 16+ of no wacky stuff and only one lockup... the lock happened ( and did during the wacky stuff) when i would select the option to get in a vehicles with the scroll..., if i just chose the on screen icon for a palace in the car( wheel if by driver side, ect) i would get in with out a lock..... Are game in game textures and user menus not doing the right thing with nvda cards....?

[Chaos 0]

@ walker

No, it is still the same - no difference since installing 1.14.

[NoRailgunner 0]

Look very strange (kinda arty) - did you test your RAM/graphic card/disk? I remember in good ol OFP days had some wired graphic bugs and after a short time hardware failure. Don't know which tool gives real temperatures back some of them showed +/- 10° differences

Guys, were lag spikes in 1.14 decreased?Can you normally snipe now?Because I don't want to buy a game and than play in the laggy world.

If you're talking about multiplayer, then there is little to fix on bi's side, you rather need a proper server, connection and server settings (esp tuned the minErrorToSend)
