Texture memory is not changing in CFG file - Can anyone verify this?

[datter 0]

I have been noticing some texture weirdness (white textures, flickering etc) since 1.03 and just thought I'd check my arma2.cfg file. With version 1.02 I would set my texture memory to "default" which would give me around 512mbs in the CFG... accurate for my dual 8800GT set up.

Since 1.03 I see that my video card memory is showing up as 255mb in the CFG file, still using "default" as set in game. I tried switching from "default" to "very high" and it's stays at 255mb. Even switching to "low" in-game texture memory leaves the ArmA2.cfg at 255mb. I've double checked and no, my CFG file is not set to read only.

Can someone else check and see if this is happening with them as well, so I can sort out if this is just me or not? I'm going to attempt setting it manually then setting it to read only and see what happens.

it's still showing the right amount for my card; and I don't have the file as read only. Maybe manually change it to 512mb and make arma2.cfg read only then to see if that works

I know exactly what the problem is.

Arma2 cannot detect that you have a valid Arma2 SLI profile in your Nvidia drivers.

I had exactly the same problem with the 295 and even going so far as reformatting and reinstalling the OS did not solve it. I eventually fixed it by using the drivers suggested by Windows Update.

All I can say is, good luck. I spent at least a couple of solid evenings trying to get mine working.

hmm, I think you might be right. If I go into my nVidia control panel and select the checkbox that says "show only programs installed on this computer" I do not see ArmA2 listed in the profiles. I need to deselect that box in order to see it.
