Hi, I am a seasoned ArmA player and had previously experienced no problems and very high stability under the 1.05 patch. However since downloading the 1.08 patch me and several of my friends have experienced a massive amount of crashes, so many that all have stopped playing the game. I am surprised that this problem is not the main subject of the forums. So far out of 5 completely different systems, 4 constantly crash. Despite many reinstalls, canging divers multiple times and experimenting at almost all graphical levels, the game is just too unstable. Has anyone else got this problem, (the evolution maps are especially unstable).

The specs of our five totally different systems are completely varied. My system is AMD 64 3000Mhz, ATI X1800XTX GFX, 1GbRAM, XP SP2. One friend has an AMD 4200Mhz, 8600GTX, 2GRAM VISTA (business), another P4, XP SP2, NVidia 7600, 1Gb, another P4, 8600GTS, 2Gb, VISTA HOME. Most of us are on the latest Catalyst and Forceware drivers and have regressed at least 2 versions back with no effect! We all crash regularly either playing together or independently online but only since the release of 1.08 and most commonly when in vehicles. The usual form is graphical tearing and artifacting then boom. As I said earlier, I've searched these forums for evidence of a common 1.08 problem but failed to find one so far dispite several casual references to 1.08 instability. The search goes on.
