cometa 10 Posted July 11, 2009 i get this issue and i have an ATI Radeon HD4870 1GB running the game on mid settings - its really annoying and stops me playing online hit me after 20 or so minutes and i have to quit so i dont really get a good chance at playing. From what i read people were saying it an NvIdia issue but i have an ATI card with the latest drivers as of yesterday so this may disprove this theory?. cheers game needs some fixing for sure cant wait for this bug to be fixed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S!fkaIaC 10 Posted July 11, 2009 To all with the problem, just a question: What is different from your machine, to another of the same components that works just fine? It's all 0's and 1's, so the answer, while it may be complex and finicky, is still logical. Belier13 did something to isolate the issue, he removed all possibilities of random base elements. Started from a solid foundation. Most of us did some trials to isolate the problem. But the old "format C: - reinstall OS" is not the way I go. Or do you smash your car into pieces and rebuild it again each time it has a hickup?. I would like that BIS is showing us the 0`s and 1`s causing this reaction "receive....".

Dogtags 0 Posted July 11, 2009 (edited) it is getting worse. I did a complete uninstall/ reinstall and it ran well for 1 day then Receiving started again and got slowly worse. Reboot of PC now makes no difference I am now guaranteed a Receiving screen after a minute of startign a game. Now I also get the worst texture problems I have ever seen with a slow down and white textures flashing then either a crash or a forever Receiving. Below is a small sample of the error file I now get. Please don't suggest my card is faulty because it isn't, a faulty card would show up in one of the numerous games I play or in 3dmark but everything is fine except ARMA2. Please don't tell me to update or uninstall/clean drivers and reinstall them as I just did that and still got this. Basically I give up. ===================================================================== == E:\Games\ARMA2\Bohemia Interactive\arma2.exe == "E:\Games\ARMA2\Bohemia Interactive\arma2.exe" -nosplash -world=empty ===================================================================== Exe timestamp: 2009/07/01 17:53:19 Current time: 2009/07/11 21:07:13 graphics: D3D9, Device: ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series, Driver:ati2dvag.dll 6.14.10.6962 resolution: 1680x1050x32 Distribution: 1465 Exe version: 1.02.58134 Error: cannot load sound 'ca\dubbing\global\radio\female01\cz\nastoupit.wss', header cannot be loaded.

xmongx 0 Posted July 11, 2009 (edited) It seems that you can break out of this never ending recieving loop by manually resetting GPU memory, which makes sense. (press shift and minus followed by the letters F-L-U-S-H, you should see 'activated FLUSH' appear onscreen). So far it has woked every time for me and has made multiplayer somewhat 'playable' (i use that term in quite a loose tense considering my video output freezes every so often). It is not a new bug, i had this in arma many times on the earlier versions IN SP and MP. It usually occurred when i zoomed unscoped in to a busy battlefield. I didnt see it after 1.14 but that also could have been down to newer gpu drivers although i think the issue exists within the engine. The problem is far more prevelant than it ever was in arma (when i had the issue it was very hard to find other users having the same problem), for that reason i believe bis will find and fix the issue with time, the problem seems to be with the streaming engine centered around lod details, it mostly happens when there is a very quick redraw of a large proportion or entire screen (buildings come into view, zooming,scoping,entering vehicle,switching to map...etc etc) Edited July 11, 2009 by xmongx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R3dBuLL 10 Posted July 12, 2009 It was (Shift)+(-) and than type flush. Or similar, I forgot it. It doesn't help anyway. Tried it over and over again in the past way before that thread was started. It didn't work in any version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It didn't work in any version. Might work for me though. So you are just in game and just hit Shift + - then type flush Does a box appear to type in or am i typing it in the chat box or w,e im still a bit puzzled coz i tried that and typed flush and theres no where to type it in so i dno if im actually doing it right and never got that message saying actived FLUSH.

R3dBuLL 10 Posted July 13, 2009 try that in none-bugged gameplay first. Like in single player. If I remember right F L U S H will be written into the left top corner after successfull input. Btw. I used - on the numpad. Don't know if it makes the diffrence. You may use the search feature and look it up. I'm pretty sure it was posted serval times in many threads :) Good Luck!

seb89 10 Posted July 13, 2009 Hey, I just got the game, and im one of the unlucky ones that have the 'receiving' bug, I have got the latest driver for nvidia, and the latest patch are there any definite solutions for this problem or do I just have to wait for the 1.03 patch, btw single player works fine though, amazing game, very hard, but very good.

S!fkaIaC 10 Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) We do not even know if BIS is looking after it on their side and if they see any need to go after it. DISKUSSING THIS ISSUE WITH BIS IS SOMETHING THAT A FORUM MODERATOR IS USUALLY DOING - checking with BIS devs and giving less jelly answers to the community. But this one is happy with closing 1.03 threads with "its ready when its ready". Except the usual, but baseless spam "I am sure BIS is working on it..." by some forum members we do not have any statement that BIS is really taking care. BIS stated that they made an attempt to solve "something" probably related to our problem, but it was obviously not a success.

Cornstar 10 Posted July 14, 2009 I used to have major graphical glitching errors, although these seemed to have diminished by lowering graphical settings. Now I'm mostly getting the 'Received' bug instead. Really annoying. I do feel it is related to the graphical glitches bug (), not a clue how or why, but the Received screen seems to be flushing the VRAM as well, when I return after a Received screen all seems fine again for a while.

seb89 10 Posted July 15, 2009 I solved the issue for myself, what i did was I reinstalled vista service pack 1+2 then i unistalled ARMA 2 and then installed the newest nvidia driver after which i installed patch 1.02 then in the ARMA 2 settings set video memory to default, now its working fine no problems what so ever, very stable and good fps.

BEYOND ANNOYED! There is NO fix for this so do not waste your time, I wasted enough for all of us, 20+ hours screwing around in 2.5 weeks trying to get rid of Receiving and CTD's and everything I have is legit including windows XP.

Bulldogs 10 Posted July 16, 2009 Lot of people told me they fixed it by under clocking their CPU/gpu and/or increasing their cooling across all components but you're probably right, they're probably lying. ---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ---------- Btw, for the people who keep saying bis aren't even looking into the issue, learn to read the stickies. The receiving bug is related to the crashes, so submit a bug report with crash logs just as they have asked, unless you don't want the problem fixed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bulldogs 10 Posted July 16, 2009 (edited) My mistake. Glad you can talk for eveyone as the fact that they didn't return for more help after they said the problem had gone away gave me the false assumption that they had fixed the problem. Thank you for personally visiting everyone of them and rectifying this. Don't get me wrong, if I was in your situation I'd be very annoyed but telling people that it won't work for them because it didn't work for you is just a little pretencious. As per usual, wait patiently for the next patch, and good luck. Edited July 16, 2009 by Bulldogs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
