Hey Everyone,
I've had a really aggravating time trying to get ArmA to work on my PC. It seems to be crashing after a certain amount of time playing (it goes into the Error Report box). But the most annoying problem of is with the Campaign.
Every time I try to play the first mission, when you are riding around in the Humvee through the various towns, it always crashes at different points - I haven't reached the point where you get out.
It seems to be the same problem, but most of the time it just crashes to my desktop, other times it comes up with an error box saying: "CreateIndexBuffer failed (8876017c)". I have tried everything - overclocking my GPU, turning down my graphics, inserting the -maxmem=512 into the command line. I cannot figure out what is going on with the game.
As I said before, on all the other levels the game works alright but CTD at random times (or at least it seems). I really want to enjoy ArmA, but right now I really wish I hadn't dropped $40 on a paperweight.
My System Specs:
2.6 Ghz P4
128 mb Radeon 9800
1.5 Gb of RAM
I understand my specs aren't that much higher than the minmum, but I doubt this is causing the problem. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
-Thanks, Gremlin
*EDIT* Could this be due to the ATI handle leak? I just saw a post on it and I have Catalyst 7.2, which is affected by this problem.
