Hello, I was pleased to hear this patch solved the black screen on startup, however for me it has not. I start from the shortcut in the main game dir, black screen with vista mouse loading cursor, and nothing else. 4870X2 i7 920 6gig DDR3 Triplechannel Vista Ultimate 64bit Please help! I just got my TrackIR and I'm dying to use it in ArmA, and I'm dying to play ArmA on my new PC!

I will buy some new hard drives thanks for the tips! No shadows does help the fps lots, but I love shadows!

After reading over everyones machines and their subsequent performance it seems my PC is falling rather short in terms of performance for what I have. This is my PC; Processor: AMD Athlon64 Processor 3500+, MMX, 3DNow, ~2.2GHz Memory: 2048MB RAM Video Card: HIS RADEON X850XT Sound Card: SB Audigy Audio [9000] Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.070227-2254) I run the game on these settings; Visibility 1200 1280*1024*32 Terrain Detail: Normal Objects Detail: Normal Texture Detail: Normal Shading Detail: Low Postprocess fx: Low Anisotropic filt.: Low Shadow detail: Low AA: Disabled Blood: Low Using the ArmA Benchmark I get <2000points. I started out getting 1500 points, but after killing *every* process that wasnt essential, disabling my 2nd monitor I manage ~1930pts. I tried OC'ing the video card, moving those normal values to low, disabling shadows completely, lower res, but all still yield under 2000points with no noticeable FPS improvement. Also, on the fourth test my computer doesnt load the ground textures till the camera comes to a stop, same on the 2nd test too! Is my computer just not up to doing any better? From viewing other peoples results it seems it could be doing a lot better with higher settings too! :'( Any help is appreciated, sorry about the massive post.
