As this is the official forum, I want to know what is being done in order to get the game running. If you need any advice on marketing and customer satisfaction please let me know...

Funny thing....game seems to work perfect when i use "try" in the armory section.... played for an hour, with the only glitch being the inside drivers view of the armored personell carrier, the graphics there are screwed...everything else seems ok. No fps loss, 800700e warning or anything. When I play the single missions I get the 800700e error 10 out of 10 times...or the game just hangs while loading, can move the mouse in the pre-game menu, but can't click anything..hang up....what gives.. dual 2 core e6600, geforce 8800gtx 768 mb ram, 2 gig memory, vista 32.

For crying out loud....what do you expect to find in a troubleshooting thread this massive, flowers and kisses? Of course people are going to complain when their games don't work....and why do you care if we flame BIS? Progress = status quo? We,consumers, have every right to bitch untill the problems are solved.....and by solved I mean an official patch. I will be first in line to applaude BIS when they do, but untill then I reserve my right to be pissed off.

Let's try not to go all anger-boy on eachother. The reason why I've never been as frustrated by a game before, is because I've never had so high expectations to a game. I loved OFP, and checked out numerous videos of this game in advance of my purchase...and it looked bloody marvellous... I fully understand that there will be issues regarding such a complex game, but remember we're not talking minor glitches here...the bloody game does not work...I want it to work..hence my frustration. I believe it's my right to speak my mind, when I've paid for something that in my opinion does not work.

They are definitely not on vacation, and even if the entire Staff would be: Who says they are not allowed to have some days off just because the game doesn't run on your shiny Vista? There are dozens of topics here covering the problems ArmA has with Vista and the GF8800 series. Just a suggestion: Try it with the OS it was developed for? Â Honestly, this opinion is in a word, idiotic. Ignoring Vista is tantamount to financial suicide. It was in development for 5 years or more, every developer and his sister knew it was coming and yet we get this silly attitude from many of the people on here. If Bohemia arent going to support their game under Vista, ArmA will not be around for long. They have a small grace period as many people have not switched to Vista yet but I can tell you this, I play ALL my old games (In some cases 3 or 4 year old ones) in Vista with no problems EXCEPT ArmA. Its time to stop blaming the OS. Its been around for about 6 months now and after Crysis, Conan etc show up it wont be long before the majority of gamers will be switching. ArmA is the problem here, not Vista. Yes, I could boot into XP, it is on a seperate partition, but I dont see why I should have to for ONE GAME! Â E Agreed....

Meaning what? How come this game is the only one not working on Vista....

In my entire gaming career, since the dawn of games like Wings of Fury, Test Drive and Wolfenstein 3D I have never been as frustrated as I am with this game. My honest opinion is that Armed Assault is a disaster, quite frankly I'm in awe of myself for not turning to violence and destroying stuff around me... I'm on a brand new computer, which in my humble opinion should easily get this gaming working; Dual core 2 E6600 2,4ghz - 2 gig ram, Nvidia Geforce 8800GTX 768mb ram, vista 32. I'm getting thrown to desktop like crazy,8007000e error, or just a warning saying the program has stopped working. WTF GUYS?! And yes I've tried all different settings, resolutions, maxmem etc... I read somewhere that BI had released the patch and gone on vacation. I'm starting to believe this..... How come there is no official statements regarding the vast amount of problem people are having with their program. If they are on vacation I hope the weather is pissing down on them. My 2 cents; Bohemia Interactive are killing themselves with this kind of substandard programming. I want BI to make an official statement admitting the problems and making a real effort to resolve the issues. I've spent over 65$ on this game, I expect it to work.

System specs; E6600 2,4 dual 2 core, 2 gig ram, Nvidia Geforce 8800GTX 768mb, Vista 32 bit. Stock settings. PC is brand spanking new, only installed latest drivers, and Armed Assault is the only game installed. 505 version, no additional add-ons, installed the 1.05 patch and the latest 1.08 patch Getting the "Cannot create system memory surface: 8007000e" error, and beeing thrown back to desktop. Have tried everything from all settings to minimum or maximum, default etc... This is beyond frustrating....
