I joined a Domination game last night, where there was some sort of hacking going on when I joined. We were just being constantly being shot at the spawn flag by some wallhacker whos name wasnt appearing for the kills? Anyway got fed up of this constantly for a few mins, and what chance has an admin of kicking/banning this cheater if no name is appearing? We need something to sort this and soon .... for me public is the only multiplay I am gonna get. I cant really join a clan or something to get on a private server. My situation is that I usually be playing from around 11.00pm till around 03.00 am when my kids are sleeping in the room next door so I cant be hollering "INCOMIN'" on ts! Unless I wanna wake up the whole house which wont be pretty lol. I can listen just fine on my headphones though so thats fine for now:)

So guys...which are good addons to install to improve the sound in the game? Are you still able to join public servers with these addons? I seen an addon for car radio I wouldnt mind installing, and if you can recommend anything else that doesnt mess with joining multiplay games that would be great. Be nice to know what addons u guys are using .... I get the feeling Im missing out on something:D

I feel your pain...check this thread u might find some help...dunno http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=82817

Glad to see u got sorted Cjph .... I too successfully got it installed. Everything I did is in this thread...Disabling UAC,Uninstall everything,delete all related folders and done a registry cleanup, disabled firewall and antivirus, then reinstall everything again. Strange thing is I done the exact same routine a few times and still getting the patch error during install, and was basically giving it one last go when it didnt throw up the patch error...I thought wtf?? Then it was everything crossed for trying to start game and hey .... no pixel error message nor CTD:yay: Thanks again to everyone who put in on this >>>>> without these forums and the communities knowledge I would have no chance! Also...for the short time I managed to play last night...gameplay seems smoother for me and I may be able to squeeze a bit more eye candy outa my 9800 gt now:)

Yep plenty of free space there ... its driving me crazy tbh :s I have done everything from scratch around 7 times now with the same results. Tried with UAC disabled and running as admin...no difference though. That error....the one about pixel shader...is that a graphics driver error or direct x or something else? Do we know which version drivers the Bi guys use on there nvidia cards by any chance? At this point I'm really clutching at straws as u can tell and am wondering if a complete system reformat would be in order...I'll try anything...erm 7 times lol Thanks for the input here anyway guys...I think tonite will reformat and reinstall from start and see how it goes. If that fails then its back to the previous patch for me 'till someone sorts it :s

This is a legit 505 Games version, which I foolishly paid real money for. I already mentioned in first post it was not a pirated version, as at the time of posting I googled the error and could see how some guy using a pirate copy had his thread locked. Hope this clears this issue....I still have this problem if anyone can help

Can't even run game now...details below. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=82817

My problems here only introduced with 1.03 patch process ... getting boring now this :S http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=82817

Any other ideas for this guys? Getting the same messages etc and cant play ..... is really getting a bit annoying now no idea what to do.

Well guys...tried that with no joy. Uninstalled, deleted the folders and cleaned registry...then restarted, reinstalled game....once I started to install the patch it threw up the same error as above "error found in ALL\ARMA2.EXE" When I select retry just keeps coming back...once I select ignore it says patch installed ok. Then when I try to run game I get the error compiling pixel shader etc message and CTD :S Getting so pissed off with this game...wasting my gaming time taking part in a beta test I wasnt invited too. Really dont know what to do next:mad:

Thanks for quick reply...I have the 505 Games version....after I do a fresh install can I use the 1.03 patch, or do I need to install the previous patch first?

Any help appreciated on this guys....game was running fine for me then I decide to install the new patch, now it wont run. During the patch install I got this error Clicked Retry a few times but kept popping up same...then selected skip. So when I tried to start the game it then shows this message and crashes to desktop Have tried to reinstall the patch a few times and now see this error as I try to patch Also tried downloading patch from 3 other locations with same results ... any ideas? Have latest direct X and display drivers installed (190.38) Also, it is a paid for game unlike a guys thread who was locked reporting a similar problem .... didnt see too many results when i googled it :S 02:30am now and another 4 hours wasted trying to get this game to run again after having it running so good!

Thanks a lot guys...this is just what I need;) ---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 PM ---------- Cant figure it out how to set the fan speed....a little bit more complicated than I had hoped. Soon as I get the kids asleep will have a fiddle with it:s

Hi guys Due to a guys post on these forums ref setting fan speeds to 100% with nvidia system tools , I was for the first time last night able to play for 3 straight hours ( and disconnected of my own free will) This is a first for me....previously I usually managed about 15 mins before I started to see graphical annomalies and then CTD.... then it was 3 hours on the troubleshooting forums :j: So seems like a lot of my problems have been caused by an inactive fan. When I installed nvidia system tools and set fan speed to 100% it sounded like a chopper taking off...a completelly new sound to me and made my pc mucho loud:) My fan has not been running at all and so the GPU has been overheating forcing the CTD. I have now reached a stable compromise at 60 % fan, it's not as noisy and Arma2 still likes me....but what I have now noticed is that when I restart my pc....no GPU fan activity untill I go into nvidia tools and set it again. So a question I now have is this ... Is this necessary everytime, or can I somehow make it stay running at 60% all the time? Wish I could find that thread about the fans etc to thank the Op for the fix;) Thanks for the help guys.

Thanks a lot guys for the replies....those suggestions have helped me a bit in the single player department, will give multiplay another try soon;)
