guy123 10 Posted June 3, 2009 Hey, I've noticed lots of people talking about graphical glitches, grey textures, crashing, weird triangles, invisible objects, slow memory loading times etc. From what I have gathered through trawling through these forums everyday for the last week, it is to do with our drivers. But don't worry, its not all bad. On 10.6.09 (10th of the 6th, in American dating standards it would be 6.10.09) ATI will be releasing a driver that according to BIS will contain a fix for this issue. Be aware of the ^ mentioned ^ issue, when posting about your problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raggz 10 Posted June 3, 2009 Nvidia has the same issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guy123 10 Posted June 3, 2009 Nvidia has the same issues. Really? that's the first Nvidia complaint I've heard, you should send a ticket to BIS. Have you got the latest drivers? you should make a thread, mention in the title you have an Nvidia, and post screen shots of the glitches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nah, check the CTD thread. There's people with Nvidia cards that are getting the exact same ctd and vm error. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guy123 10 Posted June 3, 2009 Hmm.. must have overlooked them, strange, you guys should definitely get on at BIS to talk to Nvidia about releasing new drivers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwarden 1125 Posted June 3, 2009 hopefully that new ATI driver gets also fixed Crossfire / X2 profile for ArmA2.exe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twisted 128 Posted June 3, 2009 hopefully that new ATI driver gets also fixed Crossfire / X2 profile for ArmA2.exe in which case it will be time to add another ati card to my mix. but it would be pointless otherwise if only one works at a time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kr3v 10 Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) I've just bought an ATI 4890 and the game crashes after some minutes. After reading the event observer, it seems to be a problem with d3dx9.dll (directx9). Of course my directx is updated. Do you think that it's the problem mentioned ? Edit : Ok now I can't launch the game anymore... Edit : It seems that putting the "video memory" option in default instead of very high allows me to play again and in better conditions.

Edit : It seems that putting the "video memory" option in default instead of very high allows me to play again and in better conditions. Weird... I have a 4890 as well and I have not experienced a single crash... I have tried it on both dafault and very high memory settings (very high works much better BTW). Which OS do you use and which version of ATI drivers do you have? Peace, DreDay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm using XP32. Edit : Well, in default video memory settings the game seems to run but I still get artifacts.

garack666 10 Posted June 4, 2009 Cat 9.5 ati 4870 win 7 64 bit and only 4 gig ram. no probs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kr3v 10 Posted June 4, 2009 Yes, a friend told me that. I'll try with Seven. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kr3v 10 Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) Well, with Seven I didn't see artifacts but my computer reboot with a blue screen saying Bad_Poll_Header. All my drivers are updated.... I'm a huge fan of ArmA who own ArmA 2 and upgraded his computer to enjoy it at its best but who can't play it. I'm totally sad and disappointed...
