eble 3 Posted May 29, 2009 Hi, just finished my 7 hours download, installation went smoothly until I tried to start the game and got this: I've restarted my system. my specs are: Intel Q9450 Quad 4 gig Ram Windows xp 32 Inno3d 9800Gx2 all drivers up to date (was playing arma1 while downloading arma2) no other known system issues, HD has 100 gig free space, directx is up to date.

Rebel@heart 10 Posted May 29, 2009 update directx software might help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eble 3 Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) just re- downloaded directx. I've also uninstalled arma2 and I'm now re-installing it edit - directx re-install failed to do anything. I've un-installed the game and now attempting a fresh re-install Edited May 29, 2009 by Eble Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eble 3 Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) update - fresh arma2 install failed to fix problem. 1:35am gonna give it up for the night. I'll try again tomorrow with a fresh head. just a bit disappointing to say the least. Southy I've re-set the download to see if a total new dl and install works :) off to bed Edited May 29, 2009 by Eble Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eble 3 Posted May 29, 2009 update - download completed for second time over night. 4th attempt to install arma2 went ok to the point of starting the game, same crash to desk top from launch. I've run the directx 'dxdiag' test and everything appears ok, no conflicts, I do not have problems running any other game, and I also have arma1 fully patched to beta 1.16 with ace 1.09 which runs perfect. It appears something on my system doesn't like arma2 and I'm at a loss to check/find the error. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EDcase 87 Posted May 30, 2009 Something that has come up a couple of times is make sure you have the latest firmware for your DVD drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eble 3 Posted May 30, 2009 another update, I have win 7 64 on a partition and thought what the hell I'll try installing on that. It works perfectly, runs smooth as, and it's everything I was expecting of Arma2. Now if I can only get it working on win xp I'll be laughing. Southy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiper 0 Posted June 2, 2009 Had the same issue. Luckily I found out the file monitor of my virus scanner was the culprit (NOD32 AMON). Bit more info here: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?p=1295260#post1295260 good luck ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
