Grey screen when exiting game

Recommended Posts

Arma 2 has been working well for me and until recently no real problems. Over the last week or so when I have exited the game my monitor screen goes grey and the only thing I can do is reset power to pc. It doesn't happen every time. Anyone else experience this? Thanks for any input, even the not so nice ones that I'm expecting.:p

Yes, I've had this happening but in my case only 1 or 2 times when exiting quickly after a MP session.

Happens to me sometimes also. Does seem to occur more frequently (if not always?) after entering multiplayer menus.

Ctrl-Alt-Del and kill the arma2.exe process from Task Manager works for me.

It's only happened a few times after MP. Had to ctrl-alt-del and end the program via task manager (simple alt-tab wouldn't work).

Has happend to me a few times. Almost always when I run Fraps also.

I was not running Fraps when this has occurred.

Just noting that for me, Fraps cannot be part of the cause.

I believe the only 3rd party app I might be using at the same time is TeamSpeak.

do you use anything like team speak overlay?
I don't know what that is. Certainly teamspeak stays as a little icon in my task bar tray, nothing interacts with D3D or other graphics to my knowledge.

It must be random. Hasn't done it any more like in a week. I don't know if it was when I was using fraps. Thanks for input.:bounce3:

Just occurred for me now.

No Fraps, no Teamspeak.

Just looked at some multi player options, then used single player -> editor to check out a map.

Grey screen crash on exit.

I figured out my problem. I was using some addons and put wrong names on several folders. Oops.

Yeah, but that doesn't explain why it happens to many others (including myself) and why it happens randomly.
