Hey,

Same here. After ~15min of gameplay my game just freezes. CPU activity is at 50% but nothing moves on screen. Had to close Arma2 from task manager.

This happens only on campaign mission Razor Two. Managed to get through few missions :yay:

Hopefully now the demo is out they can start and fix some of the more serious stuff, many of the post about crashes are spread out. There are more than just three or four of us.

Oddly when I first played the game 1.01 and 1.02 I would get lockups that I could escape using task manager but from day 2 I've had no more CTDs just lockups that can only be fixed by a system reboot.

Im also getting this problem on the mission Razor two, ever since the 1.02 patch.

I bought this game yesterday, and had no problems, and managed to do some stuff in razor two before relising there was a patch. So i start it again with the 1.02 patch.

Everything was fine for about an hour, then it suddenly crashed and now it crashes about every 10 minutes.

Think i might just reintsall and go back to the unpatched version :(

This game has been out since May in Germany and last week Europe. they should have come across this at least ONCE and fixed this ages ago. this is horrible, and i know its not our PC's because from everyones specs that are posted they meet and go beyond the demands of the game.

If they do fix this problem it may be down to luck because if the PC freezes then it dosn't write to the error log, this makes it very difficult to fix.

yeah but i think everyone of us have updeated with the latest drivers.

i'm playing others games with no difficulties (ex. Fallout 3)...

The problem is that i'm not sure if a moderator/admin see this post and report it ...

hope to see another patch soon...

Sorry by my poor English. I am spaniard and I have a 8800gt xxx 512 graphic card and also have this problem. After 5 minutes more or less my computer freeze and not respond (control+alt+supr) Keyboard, mouse, nothing respond and the only "solution" is reboot the computer.

My computer:

c2d 6400+4 gigas RAM+8800gt xxx 512

I hope next patch will solve this problem.

I have the same problem but it happens only in multiplayer and after about 2 minutes.

I have submitted it to the community tracker but this is really annoying because I ordered trackir 5 just for this game.

Try setting your Video Memory lower. For 1GB cards try high. For 512 cards try medium or low.

15 minutes of play, seems to be the amount of time, it takes for the vram to fill up.

I had the same problem, after a few minutes the graphics would glitch out (most floor textures turned white) and the game would eventually freeze and crash. Per a suggestion in the forum, I tried bumping Video Memory to Low, in Graphics Options -> Advanced. After doing so, I haven't had any graphical issues and the game has remained stable. This may not work for everyone, but it's worth a try.

Same here.

EN8800 GT 1GB from ASUS

Freeze, with no artifacts and no wierd sound.

Sometimes I´m able to get back to desktop and stop the process, others I have to reboot.

I saved just before the freeze and it´s always the same.

It freezes in Razor 2 and now in a scenario.

This is not a Hardware issue. :confused:
