I have a 8800gt card, performance improved with ForceWare Beta Release 169.28, go here http://www.nzone.com/object/nzone_ut3_downloads.html. performance for me is good, though I have strange slowdown when zooming with sniper rifle. other than that ARMA runs smoothly

I think I have found a solution to the 2 second freeze problem - seems 8800gt users have a similar problem in UTIII. Their solution is to use nvidia 169.28 beta drivers. Initial testing appears to have resolved the issue. http://download.nvidia.com/downloa....Int.exe

I can confirm that this problem is a 8800 driver problem. I previously had a 7900gt installed using 163.69 drivers and it worked fine. I have just installed a 8800gt using 169.25 drivers and I get this 2 second freeze problem (in both 1.09b and 1.08). Unfortunately I cannot take Godfathers advice and downgrade to 163.71b as it came out prior to the 8800gt's release, and does not recognize the GT, so it won't install. Stuck with this problem until nvidia sorts out it's 8800 drivers. BTW I do not get this problem with any of my other games, just ARMA. my specs AMD dual core 4600+ 3.5 gig RAM Vista 64 bit - with all the updates 8800gt -169.25 drivers no viruses or spyware no background apps
