Blechreiz 0 Posted May 28, 2009 Hi! Iam playing the german release version. My system is: - AMD Phenom II X4 955 4x3.20GHz - Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P 790X - G1024P Club3D ATI Radeon HD4890 1024MB video card - 4096MB Corsair PC3-10666 CL9 Kit (DDR3 1333+) - 680W SuperFlower Atlas Design Modular - (temps never higher than 55°Celsius) - (on Windows Vista 64).

Iam really pissed off That don't sound good Erm a couple things you could try Latest ATI drivers: http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx You could also try running as admin or running in compatibility mode for windows XP BTW vista users service pack 2 is out, not sure it will help here though As for now that's all I got, considering I don't actually have the game yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[GLT] Legislator 66 Posted May 28, 2009 @Blechreiz: What's your graphic setting? Viewdistance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maruk 80 Posted May 28, 2009 You may also try to run the game with command line option -maxmem = 512 It is possible that it may help. Various video options could also influence the behaviour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blechreiz 0 Posted May 28, 2009 @Blechreiz:What's your graphic setting? Viewdistance? viewdistance on 3600 (I guess that was standard for me) every detail on very high (runs pretty fine anyway) iam currently loading the SP2 for 64bit systems, gonna try the maxmem command afterwards. Doesnt maxmem decrease on the performance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SvN 10 Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) Hi, i have the same problems under Win Xp SP3 32 Bit. My Sys: E8400@3,0ghz; GTX 260 (latest driver); 4 Gig DDR2; Asus P5Q Same Error as Blechreiz, after playing some minutes. Tryed it with lower specs (all set to "normal" which should not make any trouble to my System) but doesnt work. Distance is set to 3000 meters. Sometimes there are "colored triangles" :eek: graphicbugs before it accurs. Edit: - maxmem 512 did not worke for me Edited May 28, 2009 by SvN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blechreiz 0 Posted May 28, 2009 "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2.exe" -nosplash -maxmem=512 This is my path now - tried lots of changes in the video settings: It seems like a higher viewdistance makes it crash faster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SvN 10 Posted May 28, 2009 I dont know why but in the campaign (first mission whre you find the hostage, cant continue any further because of crashes) seems to crash alot faster then single missions or editor stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doesnt maxmem decrease on the performance? Viewdistance is ok for your system. But I personally see no difference in normal, high and very high textures except for fps loss. Try lower lettings. I won't look ugly. I'm gonna release a performance test soon in the german support forums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maruk 80 Posted May 28, 2009 Hi, i have the same problems under Win Xp SP3 32 Bit.My Sys: E8400@3,0ghz; GTX 260 (latest driver); 4 Gig DDR2; Asus P5Q Despite it may sound quite crazy, there is one suggestion, you should try to downgrade your nvidia drivers. I assume by latest drivers you mean GeForce/ION Driver Release 185 WHQL Version: 185.85 Release Date: May 06, 2009 Unfortunately, we couldn't test the game on these drivers on time for the release thoroughly so it was tested on previous drivers only. We have now some reports that these drivers have created major issues under Vista and rollback to previous version 182.50 surprisingly cured it. I am yet awaiting on some intel about these latest drivers and Windows XP but it may be well worth trying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

koroush47 10 Posted May 28, 2009 Where did you get ARMA 2? I didn't know it's out yet.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maruk 80 Posted May 28, 2009 I checked in the studio and we have nearly identical setup. The same OS/RAM/GPU, CPU is quad core as well but Intel. We use there ATI Catlyst identified as Driver Packaging Version 8.62-090507a-080714E-ATI and the game runs quite well over there without any additional tweaks. If you run the same graphics drivers as we do, than I am afraid it's getting a bit clueless :( The drivers version could be identified in ATI Catalyst Panel, Information, Graphics Software tab The other "random" thing you may try is to run with -winxp parameter, this way the game will not use Vista's rendering pipeline based on D3D9Ex but normal D3D9 as found in Windows XP - but anyway, we are not using any such command line on this nearly identical PC we use for testing so I have currently no clue what could be causing your problems.

SvN 10 Posted May 28, 2009 Thanks for help, but downgrading to 182.50 did NOT help. Still the same f****** error. I´ll reinstall windows tomorrow and pray for a wonder :) The thing i wonder about is that its only the first campaign mission that crashes that frequently, other stuff runs quite good, or atleast it takes a while to crash. May it have something to do with Night, NV googles or something that is unique in this mission? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I now installed the SP2 for Vista64bit and tried some lower graphic settings. Now Iam able to play the campaign without any crashes (30+ minutes right now). I have no idea what may have caused the crashes as every other of my games runs fine. Maybe Im able to figure out what was the exact problem in the next days. Thanks for your help maruk and all the others! If a problem occurs again Ill report it here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silola 1086 Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) Hello, I have the same probs here :-( After some minutes of playing (Whether in the campaign or do some attempts with the editor), ArmAII CTD without any message. (ArmAII German release version) I've noticed that shortly before my harddrive works very hard. I have try different settings in the graphics options, but without any success. My system: Win XP SP2 Intel E6600@2.4Ghz Asus P5N-E Asus ENGTX280 - 1GB VRAM - 185.81 SB Audigy2 ZS 2 GB RAM My Settings inGame at the moment: All settings on "HIGHT" (not very hight) VD = 1600 m (standard) Fillrate = 100% Until now I have started 5 times the first mission in the Campa and every time I had these crash - after 5-10 min. in game. Sorry, but I'm a little bit frustated :( Silola Hint: Still in Mission 1, when I open the map [M] I can't move and zoom the map, only on the edges. I think the prob is an invisible (big) dialog or control element. Edited May 28, 2009 by Silola Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
