mali robot 10 Posted June 27, 2009 After some time playing (usually 1-1.5h) this graphical bug occurs: If I exit game screen with alt-tab, graphics turns to normal again. And after while, hour or so later problem occurs again and becomes unrecoverable. It is not gpu overheating issue because my gpu temp stays bellow 70c. I still haven't tried patch 1.02 and new drivers for video card. Other than that, game works fine, good framerates with everything on normal/high, viewdistance 2500, fillrate 150%.

krazypoloc 10 Posted June 27, 2009 Is your GPU overclocked? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mali robot 10 Posted June 27, 2009 GPU is on factory settings. This particular model has memory clock higher than standard GTX275. I can play without problems CoD WoW and Crysis Warhead on highest settings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bulldogs 10 Posted June 27, 2009 I could be wrong but that definitely seems like an artifact issue to me. Even if it doesn't happen in other games it could be that Arma is jut putting more strain on your card (Had it happen with Arma 1 and my old 7900gt that was famous for artifacting and low temps due to bad design). Try running 3dmark on continuous for at least 8 hours to see if any artifacts develop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mali robot 10 Posted June 27, 2009 Forgot to mention that it occurs usually when I'm driving a vehicle from 1st person perspective. And that is also where my framerates are lowest. I'll try patching and updating drivers before other tests. Hope my GPU is not failing, it gave me enough troubles already when I had to chage my PSU to get it to work.

Bulldogs 10 Posted June 27, 2009 It could be corrupt files, not sure though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mc Speedfreak 10 Posted June 28, 2009 I still haven't tried patch 1.02 and new drivers for video card. ...I'll try patching and updating drivers before other tests. .... .

Dwarden 1125 Posted June 28, 2009 But I am running Arma 2 on Win XP, should adding this parameters make difference? no then if you NVIDIA card owner read (performance tips) and post your experience here : http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=76908 and http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=907283 make sure you got latest service pack, directX9 (redist from march 2009) drivers up2date etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mali robot 10 Posted June 29, 2009 OK, I have applied 1.02 patch (XP and direct x already updated) and game runs smoother than before, when driving a vehicle in 1st person perspective there is no more stuttering (and that was only occasion that some stuttering do occur before). Now I only need to try and play it long enough to see if this bug appears again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mali robot 10 Posted July 3, 2009 Seems that patching the game was enough to fix this problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
