Hi BigFart... see my post on this... I have the same problem, freezing after 10, 20 or sometimes 30 minutes. I got alot of responses but nothing definite. I think it is either a) 1.08 "patch" b) Creative X-Fi Soundcard (Extreme Audio)

I'm not overclocked... also, my video cards aren't overclocked (I did run NTUNE but... I use baseline for ArmA). I think it has to do with 1.08 as it ran without any problems on 1.05. I think I might re-image my computer back to 1.05 (sigh)... weird... despite all the discussion on this forum about freezing, with some pretty intelligent people posting, and we have yet to hear from the support/dev team. Even though I see them replying to other more mundane/pedestrian stuff.

Hi, Well, I gave this a try... (I also use ghosting software, Drive Image Pro). I turned off my Trendmicro anti-virus... gave it a whirl... I got about 35 minutes out of the game (I was ALMOST convinced I had it)... then it froze up. So... am not sure? I had problems with Counterstrike freezing so I installed Microsofts patch to fix it. Fixed my counterstrike problems... not sure if it 'created' a problem here though. What sound card do you run?

Hi, laff, to my surprise... NO... I am not. I have dumbed down the settings to about "normal" on everything... however... it is SWEET when it works... I mean... I can put 200+ guys on the field with no degredation in gameplay... beautiful game... just the usual bugs to work out... like any other complicated code base.

Hi all, I've been scouring the posts here for a complete description of the ARMA freezing problem many seem to be having. However, I have yet to see a definitive post on the issue or a complete understanding of what the problem is. Â All I hear is to use the maxmem command line switch which only seems to increase the length of time before it freezes but the game still freezes for everyone. Â Can anyone provide more substantial information on this topic? Â I have used maxmem -2048 and I can get about 30 mins but then the game still freezes. Â I just LOVE this game but after I upgraded to 1.08 this problem suddenly started. Â I have the latest nvidia and soundblaster drivers, plus I've updated the bios etc. Â I played on 1.05 without any issue. Â Seems since the 1.08 upgrade this problem cropped up. Â The use of the maxmem to fix the problem almost implies a memory leak of somekind but I have yet to see BI reply on the forum (perhaps I can't find it) to explain the problem, why maxmem works and whether or not it is a ARMA issue or a driver issue with XP. I did read in one post that the x-fi extreme audio card is implicated in this issue, has anyone had a similar experience? Intel Core2 Extreme Processor X6800 2.93GHz / Asus P5N32-SLI Deluxe / 4GB TWINX RAM/ 2 X BFG GeForce 8800 GTX OC2 768MB (SLI) / X-Fi Xtreme Audio

Hi all, why symptons did the x-fi card give you? I have a very high end rig and the only place I didn't "splurge" was the soundcard... I just got the x-fi extreme audio version (the music one). what symptons did you have?
