drm03482 10 Posted May 18, 2009 I would really love to play this game but I cant. I bought the box version installed it and updated and everything. When I go to launch it it starts doing the little boxes with check marks and right before it loads I get blue screen error every time. Even does this for the digital version. I updated my direct x and graphics driver and do not know what to do. I have looked for anyone with this same problem on here with no luck. The closest I have found was someone who got blue screen while playing.... I dont even get that far. Like I said I have done all patches even up to beta ones with no luck. Any suggestions will be nice since i spent the money to buy this game and cant play it. Thank you in advance for any suggestions or comments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kridian 33 Posted May 18, 2009 What Operating System are you using? What graphics card are you using? How much RAM do you have? Sorry to hear you have this problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kridian 33 Posted May 19, 2009 When you get the Blue Screen, does it have words in it (BSOD)? If so, are you overclocking at all? Do any other games have problems? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drm03482 10 Posted May 19, 2009 Get blue screen just as it is about to launch the game from windows....no probs with any other games and no overclocking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kridian 33 Posted May 19, 2009 Well all I can suggest is to try another graphics driver. Have you tried the 185.85 WHQL? link Wasn't sure if your OS is 32bit or 64b (?) Are you running a SoundBlaster XFi Soundcard by chance? I've heard people disable their soundcards and eliminate problems that way but it's just a thought. Of course, you'd have to use your onboard audio if you couldn't correct the problem with XFi drivers. Which version of ArmA are you playing with? 1.16b?

drm03482 10 Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) yes i updated all the way to 1.16b to see if it helped. and my sound card is a SB Audigy Audio C8C0 card and no never tried other cards cause this is my higher graphics card and only one lol.

kridian 33 Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) Don't know if this will help but try to update your OpenAL OpenAL If that doesn't get your sound going, it's probably something with the SoundBlaster drivers. They always seem problematic. Oh, and is your sound using "Hardware Acceleration" within the game? EAX on or off? Edited May 20, 2009 by Kridian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drm03482 10 Posted May 20, 2009 yea doing full acceleration on sound card and eax on in game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
