astral54r 10 Posted October 5, 2009 Either add in -winxp to the list or edit you available RAM in msconfig to be lower than 8gb. Then you will get your textures showing up. I know about -winxp, i thought this error corrected Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drasta 10 Posted October 6, 2009 Either add in -winxp to the list or edit you available RAM in msconfig to be lower than 8gb. Then you will get your textures showing up. Try to rename ARMA2.exe (I must rename my to crysis.exe and its working with -winxp). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sniperdoc 0 Posted October 6, 2009 Try to rename ARMA2.exe (I must rename my to crysis.exe and its working with -winxp). Huh? You ONLY renamed your executable and it fixed it? If you're running the -winxp, regardless of whether you renamed your whole .exe or not, is kind of a no-brainer really. Since the -winxp makes the game playable anyways renaming your executable file won't do jacksh**. The SLI issue has been taken care of with the SLI enhancement package from nVidia, so renaming your exe to crysis doesn't do anything else for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blunt 0 Posted October 9, 2009 I tried limiting my system RAM with msconfig to just under 8gb, but got minimal difference in performance. Physically removing 4gb, leaving 4gb, seemed to help noticeably. Once surrounding textures load (quicker than before) I have nice and smooth video. But unfortunately my smooth online play is limited to about 40-60 min's before the lag bus comes to pick me up, skipping along to my destination. XP 64-bit AMD 9600 quad 2.3 ghz GTX260 4GB RAM All settings low or disabled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soldier1969 10 Posted October 18, 2009 all this time and patches and why am i still seeing a graphical glitch bad textures with 8gb ram installed. Take out 4gb and it works fine wtf? Am I the only one having this issue with 8gb surely not???? $50 wasted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.kju 3244 Posted October 18, 2009 Install a ram drive and allocate 5 of your 8 GB to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OH-58-FL-Pilot 10 Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) Ya know i just defended BIS earlier but now even I am kinda frustrated, my new memory came today. I do a lot of PS work which is memory intensive so i upgraded from 4gb to 8gb ram. Yea missing textures. I just want to know: Is this actually being worked on? The winxp config line does not work for me so I just pulled out one 2 gig stick and gave it to my brother. So down to 6 gigs now and its just fine.

Spartan 969 10 Posted October 18, 2009 they say its being worked on. also the -maxmem tag, and setting max ram in msconfig has no effect, the only soloution i have for the missing textures with 8gb ram is the -winxp tag. also running at 640x480 works fine without any shortut tags Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
datter 0 Posted October 18, 2009 Yes, but if you check your arma2.cfg while using the -winxp switch, you will likely see that your video ram is being recognized entirely incorrectly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ANGRY ARMA FAN 10 Posted October 18, 2009 I don't think so. I have Vista x64 and 9 GB RAM on a i7-920 overcloccked at 3.4 GHz and it is running perfectly fine with no such efefcts that you observe.Michael The thread is about 8 GB. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spartan 969 10 Posted October 18, 2009 Yes, but if you check your arma2.cfg while using the -winxp switch, you will likely see that your video ram is being recognized entirely incorrectly. yes they are :) i have 8gb system ram and 1gb on my GPU and i belive that the CFG shows the memory size in bytes, so somthing like 1073741824 for my local vram, but what is non-local vram ( shared system ram in vista 64? ) what should the ram ammounts be? so i can test again ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HardBoot 10 Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) Windows Vista Ultimate x64, AMD X2 6000+, 9800GX2, 8GB RAM (8189 in TaskManager) Same 8GB issue. Using the -winxp command line tag allows me to play, but the game is only using 2GB of memory. localVRAM=2138953728; nonlocalVRAM=2138953728; Please note, if I run the game with the default command line, ARMAII sees a different amount of memory every time it is run and this amount is near or way under 1GB. Also, with either command line, my local and nonlocal VRAM are always the same. I'm getting confused. While waiting for a true fix, I would like to edit the cfg file so ARMAII uses the 8GB, but I'm not sure how. Should I set the localVRAM to exactly what my system has? Or should I set it under that amount to allow for Windows processes? Also, if I set the file to read only so ARMAII wont overwrite my settings, what options in Options/Video should I not touch? Requesting consolidation of this thread. I've read it all 3 times now and I'm sure that counts as torture. Edited October 18, 2009 by HardBoot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
