I asked for help about 6 months ago on this problem posted here Post Well i have found out why i am haveing my problem there is a bug in arma that will not allow any thing over 4 gigs of memory this will cause black screens freezes all kinds of crap so since the people over at arma are not willing to help any one out on this problem at the moment cough 6 months=moment i suggest you take out memory to enjoy this game or dust off your pile of crap pc that runs windows xp or create a dual boot system or stick around for the patch that might fix this problem when ever that will be. But i chose not play and sell my game and go buy crysis that was much easyer and funner the cryengine 2 makes armas engine look like pong and the mods that will follow wow problem solved. NEWZ

I have vista 64 ultimate on a amd 64 4800 with a ati 1900xtx 512 with 4 gigs of corsair memory with a sound audidgy 2zl when i start the game arma 1.6 us vers i get a black screen and then a scrambled login screen i installed the newest ati drivers and sound card drivers and so on i have searched the web for a fix no help just found other people with the same problem the only fix i have found is to down grade my os to xp but thats just lame any help would be great.

I was looking around the forum and i have beta tested many games includeing this one and played more then i can count i have never seen more problems with drivers hardware even the game it self i just wanted to point this out you would think when a game makes gold status they would have weeded out atleast some of thease problems i regret buying this game and doubt i will ever buy any games from this company again just my two cents.

I know this is not related to my problem but i have to stick up for vista i just want to point out that all pc games in the future will be run on direct x 10 and unless your happy playing arma for the rest of your life or any older games you are going to have to upgrade to vista or pray for mac to jump on the direct x 10 train and i recomend you get the ultimate vers of vista because the rest of them do sux.. o yeah one more thing crysis is just around the corner be happy it suports direct x 9c so you might want to dust off your stolen vista beta . ps thanks for the info i refuse to down grade my pc to play a game or run a dual os. im sure it can run on my system some how i just gota keep on cryin.

same story i got the game via direct 2 drive and yet to play it from release date and i can not get any help to fix this so keep this on the front page till they fix this.

maby this will help? http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....darkyyy

yes i did update drivers and patches nothing worked.

Hmm i cant edit my poll strange o well i wanted to have it part of my thread sorry  you can delete it . or you can keep it around for humor.

fixing it didnt work right

Still need help any one please.

yeah i was runing at 60 for a refreshrate so yeah still broke.

i wasn't recommending it. Â i run other apps that most definitely do benefit from catalyst drivers. Â for example stock doesn't do well with opengl. Â i would guess it's a catalyst driver problem, since arma does not run at all with catalyst and does at least run without catalyst. Â i'm not an expert and don't even pretend to sound like one, like those guys who read a bunch of webpages, so i can't say for sure what the problem is. Â for right now our best bet is to dual-boot xp (if you have it). Â or get an 8800... but by all means complain to ati. :-) Thanks i will direct my hate towards ati then if any one can help please respond to this thread and i realy dont feel like seting up a duel boot system vista 64 and ati drivers should suport this video game with out a hitch sorry im venting.

so this is a video driver problem or a vista 64 problem or a arma problem i would like to know who to bitch to. and uninstalling all my video drivers sounds kinda lame might do it for fun but there has to be a driver fix some where?

how does it run with out a video driver?

wish i knew how to fix this?
