Sloop 10 Posted June 24, 2009 Hi @ll, I just bought ArmA2 and I'm really upset because it's not working fine. My system is following: Asus Rampage II Extreme X58, i7 920 D0-Stepping, 12GB RAM OCZ Platinum 1866MHz CL8 Series Low-Voltage Triple-Kit, Noctua NH-U12P SE1366, Gainward GTX-295, SSD Intel X-25 M, 1000GB WD Caviar Green, be quiet Dark Power Pro P7 650W AT, Creative X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion, LG Blu-Ray-ROM LG DVD+/-RW, Aerocool FP-01 Flip-Panel, Lian Li ARMORSUIT P60 black, 24" Dell 2408WFP Dualmonitor running @1920x1200. I am using the latest nVidia driver for Win7 64-bit which is currently 186.18 from 18th June 2009. I red a lot in various forums and it seems that are still lots of bugs out there. I have noticed in many thread, that 182.50 would work fine for the GTX, but the problem is: this version 182.50 is not available for Windows7 64-bit ! The previous version found on nVidia is 181.71. So I have my system up-to-date running Win7 64bit with nvidia 186.18. According to many advices from various forums I renamed ArmA2.exe to Crysis.exe and using the syntax -nosplash -winxp -maxmem=2047 -cpuCount=4 and -winxp. The first problem I encountered in ArmA2 is that textures are not rendered well. Grass looks silly, no uniforms textures, cars look terrible, quite everything looks terrible! Although I have high settings used in Arma2. I checked my arma2.cfg and I realized that my card is not recognized well. I searched the forums and there is this problem with latest nvidia driver, so only 256MB of my graphic card is allocated. Well, I decided then to try the 181.71 although it's an old driver. I deleted arma2.cfg and the profile and start Arma2. And the textures looks now fine, but the frames are sick! And when I play Crysis on my system with this driver I get 20 Frames less than before with 186.18 and in other games, too. I don't want to use this old driver anymore so I switched back to the latest 186.18 driver. This is very sick, I have a very good system and I cannot play this game! Shame on you Bohemians! I would like to know if anyone else has succeeded in running this game well over 30FPS with a GTX-295 on Windows7 64-bit. Any help appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sloop 10 Posted June 25, 2009 I installed nvidia driver 182.50 now, and seems running now. But I still have texture failures somewhere in game. I am looking forward for the next patches, because the game is still full of bugs. One example: I am doint the first training mission, and then I choose to learn driving. As soon as I enter the Humvee, it automatically accelerates and turns to left although I don't press the key for accelerating or turning on my keyboard. I cannot drive! This suxx!
