Attention all gamers! Please upgrade your OS to at least Vista 64 so BIS can start using Direct X 10. Thank You.

How do the 10.6 Catalyst drivers work for you? I have no faith in Crossfire as I always see problems with getting it working. Not sure it's worth the hassle.

Yeah, I get the CTDs too while playing multi-player ACE2 for about an hour or so. A friend of mine reported the same thing. Memory leak?

Yep! No more CTDs with weapon rest. :)

I get a CTD when I try to prop my m4 on a ledge (key=spacebar) using the current ACE mod. On Chernarus. Anyone else getting this? Actually, just pressing the spacebar anytime will make it crash.

Right-click on your Arma2 game within Steam/Games and choose Properties. Select the third tab (Local Files) and select: DELETE LOCAL GAME CONTENT. Then restart Steam and download your ArmA2 again.

ixion, have you patched the game to 1.05? I recall an earlier patch having horrendous shot grouping.

It sounds like you didn't start from a clean slate (empty disk). Or did you? Anytime you're "restoring" there's the risk of missing/fragmented game files... which you eluded to. Have you "Verified Integrity of Game Cache" within Steam? If that doesn't solve it, you know what you have to do... "Delete Local Content" and re-download.

Yeah, that definitely looks like the mouse "Smoothing" feature slider in Controls.

Can't get this beta. Links show this: :confused:

If the Cry Engine 3 can integrate co-op then we modders could make an ArmA-type mod... no doubt. CE3 has the Infinite Streaming Worlds according to the intro video so we'll see how it handles larger terrains. It just pains me to see the poor performance in Chernarus when I'm blown away by the amazing results from games like BF:BC 2 & Crysis Warhead. If Operation:Arrowhead can bring a 64bit.exe to the table, I welcome it with open arms.

I didn't successfully quit the game upon pushing the exit button. Gray-ville. Then I did the ole Control + Alt + Delete to get into the Task Manager where I couldn't end the ArmA2.exe because my cursor was not operational. Going to try some things. ------- update ------- For what it's worth. I ran the DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer and it added a file that I thought I had. I turned off transparency from Aero (Win 7) made sure the Steam Community option was turned off (Steam\Settings\In-Game Tab). Maybe something with that(?) --------- update 2 --------- Scratch the above, it still did it, just once in a 2-week span. Still a mystery(?)

Yesterday I installed Windows 7 64bit on a fresh drive and I have just experienced this problem. I just tried to update some keybinds and then quit the game. Gray Screen. I couldn't end the .exe in the processes manager because I didn't have a cursor. Ugh. :mad: Wierdness.

Yeah, the engine is showing its age. I'd love to see it upgraded to dx10 & a 64bit exe.

Oh yeah. I believe this only happens with ATI video cards. I get it.

Bohemia, hire this guy Brad and get his texture technology implemented as soon as humanly possible. -Love Kridian :D

Yeah, what's the chance that is the case? Probably nil but one can only hope. Ran his demo and was utterly amazed at how fast it is. That knife texture is 'mouth-watering'. From the PDF: This is an implementation of Virtual Texturing (also known as MegaTexture in id Tech 5). It is written in C# and uses Direct3D 10 with the help of SlimDX. I'm releasing it under the MIT license. If you find bugs or fix any problems please let me know! Virtual texturing is analogous to virtual memory. A large texture (potentially larger than can fit in memory) is split into blocks of pixels called pages in a preprocessing step. During runtime the frame is rendered to determine which pages are required. The information is downloaded to the CPU, analyzed, then the required pages are scheduled to load in the background. Loaded pages are uploaded into a texture atlas. Pages are tracked in a quad tree which is used to build a page table. When rendering the scene, the page table is used to map from normal texture coordinates to the page stored in the texture atlas.

Forget the -xp parameter and start running the beta patch. beta patches What OS are you on?

Wait a minute... those donuts are the tires floating up in Domination right? I just ignore them because it's some kind of bug that will hopefully get squashed soon. And I would like to know how to take screenshots in this game too. :confused:

Happens to me too, it's definitely some ATI thing, but it's not that big a deal as it only happens when zooming in with a scope from long range... and only on buildings. I'd like to know why my frame rate during an online game will slowly drop during a long round. I have my Video Memory set to Default but I can't understand the performance bogging down(?) Come to think of it, it seems to happen when we have to attack one of the small coastal towns. Too many mysteries.

Did I just read that right? His geographical location is causing his video memory to throw up? Pure comedy! :D

Still can't turn the C130 from the taxiway to the take off lanes. (?) Turning radius problem. What's the secret here?

I've been talking to the guy over at the 506th and he said they fully support the addon, so that's why I'm baffled. :confused: ----- Edit ----- Ok, I just successfully joined the Tactical Gamer server with 2.1, so yeah, it was definitely a problem with the 506's server key. Carry on. And Zipper5, you've been on here since April 2006 and you don't have an avatar? *tisk, tisk*

OK! I want someone to download this addon from the first post of this thread. Install the addon. Try and join the 506th server... or any friggen server for that matter and tell me if you succeed or fail. I can't join anything with this 2.1 version. :mad: What's the f*#-- secret!? I can use it in single player fine. ???

Good to know!
