I realise Nvidia logo is bandied about with this game, but has anyone tested this with an ATI card at all ? Getting a lot of things looking cutoff at the main menu, things floating in the air, many textures being black. Try and start a mission, the carrier doesnt seem rendered properly. I can see the insides of the model. In upper part of the screen the carrier is almost invisible. ATI 6950, drivers updated as of 5 mins ago (Same issue before and after) ta

its in the temp folder where you told gamersgate downloader to download BAF to. gets renamed to something else if you didn't install immediately. just look for the 300mb file and rename it to baf.exe, and run it. you did download BAF ?

xp32 was best for me, out of xp32/vista64/win7x64 build7600 - with same spec as you. have u overclocked cpu at all?

yeh doesnt look too promising...so aint got my hopes up about OF2, but should fill int the time until im prepared to have a virgin clean installation of XP to run ARMA2 again...arma2 makes me cry everytime i get this CTD...will take more notice if its arma2.exe or the directx exe crashing ...i think its the former.

cant help, but frustrated myself that patch 1.04 has introduced CTDs everytime in multiplayer (domination) for me...only 15 or 20 mins into the game. pre 1.04, i could play both single and multiplayer for 6-7 hours and never saw a single CTD haven't installed any other software since Arma2 went on, so its a little frustrating trying to guess what part of my PC that ARMA2 now objects to will go on the shelf until i've tried OpFpoint2 and can be bothered re-installing clean XP again. which O.S are u using ? got another O.S to try ? asking you makes me realise i havent tried 1.04 in my vista or win7 partitions yet...thanks for your help ! :)

check what trackir profile is assigned to your ARMA2 game exe. is that profile using the Track Clip Pro or the (default) head mounted reflector ? i.e. you might be testing with one profile in the trackir software setup, but another profile is kicking in when the game starts.

have u actually pressed the SWITCH COMMAND MENU button, in order to see the Nato symbols (down the bottom left) ?

do the NATO symbols appear in 1st person view (not map view) ? i.e: at the start of my badlands game, i had (ignoring razor) 2 sections of infantry + 2x inf who hopped in the MG uaz, and these appeared as 3 NATO symbols when in commanding mode. the APC crewmen never appeared as my team members (faces in bottom left), or in commanding mode ( NATO symbols in bottom left)...i.e. couldnt be controlled. they just delivered the APC and jumped out and stood next to it. Is your auto save set to just before the townsfolk vs. APC conversations ? i.e. can u load it again and see if the crew jump out at Point Orange? I dont think you'll get any trucks coming until you build your base, the latter of which might not be possible if the 2 crew want to stay inside the bmp. (please tell me if that's not correct...)

the unlock/lock is probably to stop friendly AI taking it somewhere else. did you actually get inside the hq bmp in the end or not ? if so, were u in the drivers seat ? when it arrived for me, the 2 crew exited - allowing me free rein to drive it anywhere i wanted. as for the rebels, are you using commanding mode to try and order them around ? i.e. the icons change at the bottom of the screen to the blue mil symbols ?

hi, yeh i typed post number 4 after sending u typed messages in game but before i realised u were on t/s. (i was crawling around in front of your line of sight after u revived me, but u were trying to play the game properly and kept crawling to one side so u could see past me to find enemy....also the custom faces arent quite as dark/obvious in game as they appear in the raw jpg) anyway, this is the link where i grabbed a few pix from : http://www.armedassault.eu/Armed-Assault/822-ArmA-Faces-by-Charles-Wipman.html just save the one u want to the correct location (My Documents/ArmA Other Profiles/USERNAME directory) and rename it to face.jpg, then choose CUSTOM face in Arma2 where u select character profile face/voice etc done! wasnt too hard to combine a couple of the jpgs, if u like the hands on one jpg, but want the face from another

yes, google WIP faces thanks for reviving me on WBG just now...u werent chatting in game :) tried to show ya the face i just learnt how to do this morning

probably like this... or http://www.tacticalgamer.com/armed-assault-technical-support-faqs/92338-custom-faces-armed-assault.html only saw 1 person running around arma2 with flag on face and hand. looked a bit tacky/silly i thought. some decent camoflauge patterns on the other hand...

can you get that cpu running faster, before buying anything else ? i had 2x 9800gtx before, and they were fine for arma2...the cpu speed dictated performance.

dual/quad core is irrelevant...just overclock what you got as much as you can. e8600 dual core at 4ghz produced same results i get from i7 920 @ 4ghz....i.e. good (at stock speeds both were playable but a bit jerky)
