Graphical glitches with ATi cards?

[Morbo513 10]

I've seen this problem recurring with other ATi card owners, and having recently purchased ArmA 2, hae been experiencing them myself.

Basically, big walls of colour will appear, generally originating from the centre of the screen. Usually it only happens on foot or on ground, and much more frequently in urban landscapes.

This thread shows a similar bug:

As does this video:

Both have ATi cards, but newer ones than me. Mine's a Radeon X1650 Pro.

wow, I'm surprised you are running the game!

i havent had that issue yet, and since the 1.02.58 patch i havent had slow loading textures either. but try renaming the arma2.exe to crysis.exe, and or set the -maxmin=2047 flag in your shortcut.

looks evil - almost like something is overheating or damaged, maybe a memory problem, who knows, I'm just guessing. I remember my nvidia graphic-card making similar artifacts just before it got broken.

Oh my, standard answer, overheating.

Morbo, this is the standard issue with 'some' hardware configurations and the ArmA engine. It is the same issue as stated in the sticky, initially overheating was the simplest way for folk to respond and I am sorry, it is not overheating issues. Until BI fix the issue you are stuck with it, they refuse to admit they are working on this issue and most posts from BI want you to believe you have hardware issues... check the numbers and the exact sam issue on many of our cards and you will see it ONLY happens on ArmA 2. Just wait around here for the magical fix (if any).
