Damn, I'm sorry I missed all the fun. BTW. That was a great youtube clip Mondkalb. I liked the documentary-style voiceover.

Top work Terox. This is a must-read. It makes everything so simple.

Patch to 1.02 fixed it.

I had this too but patch to 1.02 fixed it.

I get this too. Can't launch game "arma needs to close" and it says "missing string" when I try to uninstall.

Glad you enjoyed yourself. They're a good bunch on Zeus and always welcome people with open arms. (Usually an AK on full auto!

I can't seem to play any warfare map without "out of memory" crashes to desktop. I've even had a couple of BSODs. I tried maxmem on and off. Vista64 4gb ram 8800gtx 6600 dual core

Go to this link http://ofp-zeus.com/nuke....5e67411 It's also on the first post in this thread. You don't need to "join up" as such. Just feel free to say hello in the Zeus forums or on teamspeak.

Yet another great gaming session. Nice to see the new boys too.

Free up more hdd space. Vista eats loads for system restore. Here is what you can do to check how much space Vista is using for System Restore and to decrease it. To check how much space is being used, go to command prompt with administrator privileges: Click Start - All Programs - Accessories. Right click on ‘Command Prompt’ and click ‘Run as Administrator’. Type the following in the command prompt:vssadmin list shadowstorage The results shown will be similar to this: Used Shadow Copy Storage space: 2.702 GB Allocated Shadow Copy Storage space: 2.933 GB Maximum Shadow Copy Storage space: 5 GB If you feel like Vista is taking up too much space, then use this command to lower it:vssadmin resize shadowstorage /On=[Drive Letter]: /For=[Drive Letter]: /Maxsize=[space]For example, I executed this command to lower it to 2GB: vssadmin resize shadowstorage /On=C: /For=C: /Maxsize=2GB This is useful to anyone running Vista.

I think this is something to do with the latest Creative drivers. I have a xfi xtreme music card and I had EXACTLY the same problem as the OP with distorted/muffled sounds in ArmA when every other game/app was fine. My pal Rhodite was kind enough to close the thread before I had a chance to talk out a solution Unfortunatly I couldn't fix the problem, so I just did a system restore to roll back to the old (but working) drivers. Shame as I really wanted 5.1 sound... Hope you find a solution.

Hi everyone. I recently installed the new Creative sound drivers for my Xfi Xtreme music card (under Vista64). Everything seemed fine but when playing ArmA a lot of the gun shots were muffled/distorted (sounded like they were under water). I tried loads of different settings in the game and in the Creative Audio Console but I couldn't fix the problem. In the end I did a system restore to roll back the drivers. Anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it?

Wow that's harsh. Even if he is Welsh.

Nice work as always Wipman. What's the best way to take screenshots from the front like that?

Not sure if this is the right forum, but here goes. In OFP you could take the MP missions you downloaded when playing online and edit them. I've found the Arma MPmissions cache under my profile in C:my docs but all the mission folders are all empty. Simple question really, where are the mission files I've downloaded from servers, and can I open them up in the editor and mess about with them?

Cheers guys, found them. Was looking in the arma folders in my documents.

Just thought I'd add that now trackir problems seem to be sorted now. Four hours' soild gaming and no restarts. Big thanks again to Vincent for his awesome customer service.

Hi Vincent, Yeah power saving is definitely off. The profile I'm using is 4kb. Default profile is 6kb. Flight and racing 2kb. Combat flight 4kb. OK, it looks like you are starting to get some corruption in the TrackIR profiles. Anything over 4KB in size is starting to get some file corruption....... Here are the steps that I would use... 1 - Go into the NaturalPoint folder, C:\Program Files\NaturalPoint\TrackIR4\Profiles, and move the current "default" profile to a backup folder. 2 - Restart the TrackIR software, this will rebuild a new default profile. Ok, I moved the default profile to the desktop and restarted the software (via shortcut) but there's no new default profile. All I have are my custom arma profile, combat flight, flight and racing. Should I reinstall the trackir software? PS. Thanks for all the help on this Vincent. I gotta say I love trackir and am so glad I bought it.

Hi Vincent, Yeah power saving is definitely off. The profile I'm using is 4kb. Default profile is 6kb. Flight and racing 2kb. Combat flight 4kb.

Nope. I changed the pause key. It's definitely not paused and pressing pause has no effect.

Something to take a look at....... Are you plugging in directly to the system, or are you using a hub? Have you tried isolating the device on the USB ports? Have you tried turn off any kind of power save feature for your USB ports? In the "Device Manager" you can right click the "USB Root Hub"(s), that show, and then select properties. On the power management tab, uncheck the box that allows the computer to turn off the USB port to save power (i.e. uncheck the box). Sometimes that has an impact on the connectivity of the devices. Hi Vincent, thanks for the reply. The trackir 4 is plugged directly into the pc and there is no power saving on the usb port. I'm not sure what you mean about "isolating the device" but there is no other usb device plugged in beside the trackir. Is it possible I need to change a light filtering or dot tracking option? As I say, it works great for an hour and then the orange light comes on the vector isn't recognised any more.

My trackir seems to cut out after about an hour's use (orange led instead of green) and I have to exit ArmA and restart the trackir software. Anyone else having this problem, or does anyone know how it fix it?

Can someone please post a decent profile for Arma?

setting maxmem256 working so far for me with latest nvidia beta drivers

I've got the same problem with 505 dvd. It's just stopped reading the disc out of the blue. Only way I can get Arma to run is running the disk thru my computer, then when the launcher says install, run game etc, eject the disc and hit run. Securom says no disc, so put disc back in and it runs! Really weird.
