right, i uninstalled arma OA did a full reg clean "again" reinstalled it, loaded it, only went into armoury as thats all i could get to load up, shut down then updated to the latest beta driver. then started the game, went into armoury again then changed all my settings to very high and then restarted. Hey presto no more issues as of yet, after an hour or so into the game no ctd, so it looks like things are ok for the moment. I had no lag or issues with all settings up high, my temps were rock bottom, the noctual cooler is bloody amazing! and the coolers on my gfx cards are doing thier job now also. Running fine in sli mode as well, physx is on and all the post process etc are on as well.

yea i saw the cit thread, as soon as i can get 5 mins i will do that as well. thanks for the input animal

yes i have tired every type of setting that the game allows even the add on codes to the shortcut which gives my cpu count as 4. i have uninstalled all references to the nvidia drivers today, then did a registry clean and repair. rebooted, and then loaded the drivers again for the gfx cards. everything was reset and set back up again and i still have these issues. I am a little dissapointed really as i love arma 2, however after reading through all the posts in the forum so far i think i may have to leave playing it for a while until there is an update that rectifies these issues. At least i have arma 2 to carry on playing in the meantime. ---------- Post added at 01:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ---------- nope the game is a no-go for me, its a shame really as i was really looking forward to playing this new add on.

Just grabbed the new addon, played a few times really like it but the crashes to desktop are driving me crazy! well the system is clean, latest nvidia drivers and sli drivers, latest physx drivers. there are no security applications running or firewalls as the game pc is not cnx to the net. i just checked the RPT file and it shows this. Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 7C809750 graphics: D3D9, Device: NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT, Driver:nvd3dum.dll 8.17.12.5896 resolution: 1120x700x32 now in the latest version of this nvidia driver there is no option for me to turn physx off, so i can't try that. i have even put my settings for the game are at the lowest possible the pc has two 9600gt 1gig gfx cards in sli mode, i tried it with just a single card also and with sli mode off. the system is as follows Operating System: Windows Vistaâ„¢ Ultimate Motherboard: MSI MS-7578 Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Processor (4 CPUs), ~3.2GHz Memory: 3070MB RAM Page File: 895MB used, 5447MB available Nvidia driver: Driver Version: 8.17.0012.5896 now i know the system is good and clean, there is no other background crap running, its a fresh drive with just arma 2 and arma OA installed, arma 2 plays perfectly with settings up high. for some unknown reason arma OA just keeps crashing on me. Now i know its not overheating as everything is running at really low temps, the cpu has a noctua NH-D14 dual fan cooler, its bloody massive and has enough heat pipes to keep it between 36 and 41c in game mode i ran lavalys everest to check temps while in game. also i have front mount temp monitor. The gfx cards both have Akasa AK-VC03 vortexx coolers on and the psu is a massive modular cooler master psu running at 850w ram is a quality ram as well. so it comes back to that nvidia dll error. UPDATE: also getting a stackhash error shows as this as the fault module StackHash_1f2c whch also shows the actual armaoa exe as a fault as well some times. this is wierd, arma2 plays fine i can do everything with it, but if i play the standalone oa game i get this all the time. any suggestions?
