No textures on objects

[Spartan 969 10]

Hi, i just got my "Game" pre-order arrive today (UK version) and when i load any training/MP/SP mission there is no textures on objects, just block colours and grass/trees are black rectangles. This happens on every GFX setting. How can i fix this?

Help much appreciated

[thr0tt 12]

Its a feature.

Please post your system specs. and your ingame video settings.

I noticed that the stuff like sunglasses and things in the edit profile menu has just completley one coloured texture models..is that normal?

No other problems with graphics.

newer information which could assist!

[householddog 10]

MAybe changing the render values to the same value as the resolution?

It will make it crawl, but might be something to try, for testing.

[Spartan 969 10]

changing renderer to 1920x1200 has no effect, however changing resoultion to 640x480 works

[Alex72 1]

Render same as resolution will end up in 100% fillrate. Wich means clear graphics without any FSAA. you should really try set them to the same value unless you want blurred image.

You cannot change in the config and then go touch the options in-game as i think it overwrites again. Set the res and render to resvalue (what res you want to play in) and then go properties for the CFG file and set to READ ONLY.

Edit your ArmA2.cfg to look like:

language="English";

adapter=-1;

3D_Performance=100000;

Resolution_Bpp=32;

Resolution_W=1920;

Resolution_H=1200;

refresh=60;

Render_W=1920;

Render_H=1200;

FSAA=0;

postFX=0;

HDRPrecision=8;

lastDeviceId="";

localVRAM=7008256;

nonlocalVRAM=7008256;

and make it read only b4 entering the game, then report back.

If it works, looks better but runs like pig change both the W & H values (so they match) to a resolution that works for you.

[moosenoodles 0]

FSAA=-1; << odd that its set to minus 1 (normaly its 0 as we have no FSAA in arma2)

all my configs built by the rig have =0 in that setting. I had a - figure on the 3d performance other day but that was again corrupted cfg build.. :)

[Spartan 969 10]

ok sorry bout delay;

Changed cfg to:

language="English";

adapter=-1;

3D_Performance=100000;

Resolution_Bpp=32;

Resolution_W=1920;

Resolution_H=1200;

refresh=60;

Render_W=1920;

Render_H=1200;

FSAA=0;

postFX=0;

HDRPrecision=8;

lastDeviceId="";

localVRAM=7008256;

nonlocalVRAM=7008256;

still got the same problem, but trees renderd better just no detail textures but correct colours.

changed too

language="English";

adapter=-1;

3D_Performance=100000;

Resolution_Bpp=32;

Resolution_W=640;

Resolution_H=480;

refresh=60;

Render_W=640;

Render_H=480;

FSAA=0;

postFX=0;

HDRPrecision=8;

lastDeviceId="";

localVRAM=7008256;

nonlocalVRAM=7008256;

with resolution and there is no visable errors, but anything above 640x480 has the texture problems

[thr0tt 12]

Can you post your profile config ? This is held in ArmA 2 Other Profiles\<Nick>\<Nick>.ArmA2Profile

Cut the key binds out, just post the config stuff in there.

[electron-libre 10]

One thing to check before :

Get the latest ATI catalyst.

Get the latest directX version for your system

To temporarily fix this Problem, till BiS released a Fix, try the -winxp Parameter in your ArmA2 Shortcut. Look at this Thread, ArmA2 has the same/a similar Problem with 8GB RAM and ATI Cards like ArmA1.

Ah yes, didn't even check the OS. Configs all look fine btw. -winxp

Run the game 1600/1200.turn up some filters to veryhigh.

Run the game 1600/1200.turn up some filters to veryhigh.

tried, no differance ;/

[Spartan 969 10]

added -winxp to the target of the shortcut, works fin now, no missing textures etc, all at very high and smooth.

[Thrawn123 10]

Hey man,

I had the same issue and the recent 2nd 1.02 patch still didn't fix it. However, I found two ways of fixing it from browsing the forums here.

#1 - Add -winxp to the end of the Arma 2 shortcut (that will limit the game only only seeing 4 GB of memory I think).

or

#2 - go back to older Nvidia drivers. I just uninstalled the 186.16 Nvidia drivers and installed an older version 178.24. That 100% fixed my issue and Arma is working with all my memory now with -winxp switch.

***EDIT 182.50 Nvidia drivers are also working correctly***

(So this really seems like an issue between this games and recent drivers? Wierd... at least it's working with no missing texture crap)

Oops. This is on the demo. Haven't bought game yet.

[-TwK-Danny 0]

You all have 8 GB of RAM, and the game doesnt like it as far as i remember.

You need to go to a shortcut for the game, and edit the target. At the end of the target, add a space and write -winxp. Ie make it look like this: "D:\Program Files (x86)\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2.exe" -winxp

(just as someone said a couple of posts above).

[Elkevo 10]

Hey I would use old driver for vista and would kinda work without texture stuff but I just got windows7 with only new driver and game so messed up.......
