Help with Demo

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I decided to give ArmA a try after hearing about it recently, so was happy to find that a demo was available, but am having some problems.

When I boot up the game this is all I get:

I can use the menu items at the bottom, but still can't see anything they say after clicking them.

I've made sure all my video drivers up to date and am running DX10. Here are my computer stats:

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz

4GB DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500)

EVGA GeForce GTX 260 896MB

Vista Home Premium 64-bit

I run everything at 1900x1200

Can anyone give me any ideas for getting this working?

ArmA had that bug in previous versions when dealing with a card which had a unified architecture to it. Really, anything past the 8xxx series nVIDIA cards. The demo, due to it's old version, also contains that issue. It's been fixed after v1.08 (if I recall correctly, may have been later or earlier) but it's definitely not an issue now since I can play ArmA with my GTX 280. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do about it unless you buy the game.

Damn. Well, maybe I'll just bite the bullet and pick it up without trying it first.

Thanks for your help.

As I just posted in another thread, Arma Gold is about $10 on ebay and Newegg if you're in the US.

Wow, not only $10, but free shipping. I might as well get it, I've got $10 to spend. Hopefully you guys are easy on noobs.
