Vinchenz 10 Posted July 3, 2009 Hi there, recently baught this game, have to say i apsolutely love it!!! The only problem i seem to be having is that my game constantly quits to desktop when i overload the graphics on screen...eg, drop a bomb on a base or bunch of vehicles. Big explosions basically... I am running: i7 920 2.67 vista x64 home premium 2x295gtx 6gig ddr 3 ram Tried sli on/off, tried drivers from 182.5 to 186, the latest nvid drivers, and nothing is really helping... Just wondered if anyone ourt there knows something to help. Thanks all Vinchenz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inc_Cat 0 Posted July 3, 2009 Got dual 295's and I7 myself.. can't keep the game playing more than 5-15 min before it crashes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brew Crew 10 Posted July 3, 2009 I also have dual 295s, but don't have the crashing to desktop problem. My issue is poor frame rates in the campaign. No matter what I try, I can't get above 26-27 fps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your poor fps happens to all in the campaign regardless of the system. It needs to be optimized more as well as the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vinchenz 10 Posted July 5, 2009 HI there, I just bought my new 295, just for this game.. then finding out it doesnt use SLI..well, for a new release i would have expected it tbh...New technology and all that... Also when i had 1 295 i was running xp 64.. NOT 1 CRASH in 2 weeks of playin... Then when i bought second 295, had to upgrade to Vista 64 and now, crashes all the time... Maybe a waste of cash.. i might just take back Vista and 295 number 2 and go back to good old xp64... i'm far too impatient to wait for some patch, that might or might not help my issues...

It does use SLI and Multicarding (but not very well).. from what I have read on this forum, adding (-winxp) to the startup parameters enables multicarding (what a GTX295 does). If you are also doing SLI.. try downloading the EVGA Sli Enhancement patch (easiest method) or work your way through some of the nHancer guides that people have posted on these threads (harder but more control). And yeah Binkster made a thread where everyone posted their Arma2 Marks, and it was found that people who ran ARma 2 on windows XP had the better results (with respect to others with similar specs, but different operating systems).

the chief 15 Posted July 5, 2009 I have an I7 920 OC to 3.8Ghz and an Nvidia GTX 295 with 6Gb of RAM and Windows Vista 64Bit. I cant seem to run a single mission, online or offline without crashing to desktop. This is most annoying and my question to BIS, " Is this going to be fixed in a new patch?" I've been a keen fan of your games since 2006 and I hope that you can come to some solution ASAP for dedicated fans/customers like myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inc_Cat 0 Posted July 5, 2009 I have no problem getting SLI working.. nor have any problems with framrate with one or two cards. And to be honest right now I would be happy with 10 in framrate.. if the fricking game would just keep from crashing. Now it's impossible for me to play single or multiplayer.. crashes all the time regardless of what i do.. thus wasted money. And this game is getting a slow death unless they manage to come out with some fixes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kenjineering 10 Posted July 5, 2009 remember to post the crashes on the Arma 2 tracker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
