Alright, well to start, I send my deepest apologies if I have this in the wrong place, but, it seemed this would be a viable option. Also, I have searched on google, these forums and Armaholics forums and did not find anything related to this, maybe a post asking "why am I a bird?" but Ive yet to see an answer/remedy to this. So here I go; Alright, ever since I patched to 1.08, I always seem to randomly change into a bird with the quote "Good birds do not fly away from this game, I blame myself." its happened at random, 2 minutes into a mission and sometimes 15, or not at all. I have experienced this on a fresh install, and in mods, and I have no idea how to not changed into one, its quite frusterating to be in the middle of combat and all the sudden your a bird, then have to revert to a previous save or start the whole mission over... So any and all help is much appreciated, and if I have wrongly placed this topic move it where it should be, and again my apologies. Thanks!

I am running a C2D E4500 @2.2Ghz, 4gigs of PC6400 RAM, and a Ati Radeon 1900GT with Vista. I run at mostly everything on high, with view distance of 12000, I like the veiw ;-), and I have a few slow downs here and there like fighting down hill against 10-20 guys... Sadly I kept getting the LOD bug with 1.08 so I bumped my textures down to normal... Anyway I averaged a smooth 35fps with drops down to the 20's (what I saw anyway could be lower in reality). I enjoy how the human eye loves 29.9fps... Yet everyone needs systems that pump out 100+fps. Anyone have any suggestions for the LOD bug? I have tried the maxmem parameter only caused me to crash after 2-5 minutes. I really dont wanna upgrade to 1.09b seeing as most of the mods I play currently dont have compatibility with it... Im not sure if its the game or my GPU, but when on high/very high texture settings after 2-15 minutes all the textures crap out and I cant see menus or read text... Also, even on normal textures I seem to have a difficult time loading them sometimes, I can travel 30m sometimes and can sit for 2-3 minutes seeing textures that should be seen at 3000m then they upscale to normal.
