You might try the memory flush trick, in the game hit shift and minus (-) and then type flush. You wont see anything in game until after you hit enter, then it will freeze for a second. I'm pretty sure thats the command but someone correct me if not

I had that problem when I was playing around with using AA / AF on my card combined with the in-game settings. I would change the settings and restart the game, and a couple times I got the same video error. I had to keep my card settings on 'application controlled'. What you are seeing is (I believe) a conflict between arma's graphics settings and your video card settings

This just started for me, but I have a permanent head bug. Any game I join my view and movements are skewed to the left. 007 doesnt fix it. The game has been running fine for months. I deleted my profile, even uninstalled the game, deleted the game folder, defragged the drive, and reinstalled, but its still stuck. Any ideas?

Nevermind, think I found my problem, looks like my joystick drivers went haywire, and the stick was sending signals to the game. Â After I removed and reinstalled the drivers the game was fine

I, like so many others, have been trying every fix possible to stop the game freezing or crashing. While I haven't found the ultimate solution, I have found a fix to make the game not crash AS OFTEN. Before it would crash at least once every 30-40 minutes, but now I can play several hours or longer before it crashes. I simply lowered my texture resolution to low, and I stopped ALT/TAB'ing out of the game. I did several tests this weekend, and every time I ALT/TAB it would eventually freeze within 20-30 minutes after. But if I never ALT/TAB, I could play forever... note it eventually does crash but it went almost 8 hours instead of 30 minutes. So its not the final fix but at least I can play again. System specs XP Pro, 2 Gb Ram. Try it maybe it will help if you are having freezes/crashes

Also have you tried the Coolbits fix to set 'Render Frames Ahead = 0'? Or use Nhancer...

Did you try turning off your page file? Also, play around with the monitor scaling - I got a huge FPS jump when I switched mine to Nvidia scaling

In your nvidia settings make sure you have just about everything either turned off or on "application controlled". Make sure transparancy anti-aliasing is off too

If you now have 2 gigs of ram try disabling your page file

dutch-buddha, make sure you do not have textures set to Default in game. And for everyone that posted here that has at least 2 gigs of memory, DISABLE YOUR PAGE FILE. Problem fixed! Just make sure you dont have a ton of other programs running. Forget maxmem=whatever, turn off your page file!

Can you explain how to do this? Or point me in the right direction? I haven't gotten into scripting much yet...

The DTX errors are texture related (I think). Make sure you do not have textures set to "Default" in game

Arma crashed on me all the time until I disabled my page file. You have 2 gigs of RAM so give it a try, just make sure you dont have a dozen other programs running as well (anti-virus or whatever)

I've been looking for this answer for a while... take Evolution coop for example, inside the recruit building you have an option to change your view distance AND your air craft view distance... and if I bump the air view distance all the way up I can see across the whole freekin island, looks incredible and adds a whole new advantage to air bombing. The problem is it resets each time I join the game and I can only change it inside Evo games. So is there somewhere where this can be set permanently? I've looked everywhere. It cannot be a server-side only config if I can manually change it in game, right? I know there is a bug that will supposedly be fixed but how did KJ (the Evolution creator) find a way to fix it but nobody else knows how? (Yes I did post this question in the Evo thread)

I had this same error when I had my in-game texture settings to default. Once I changed it to normal it stopped

You need more ram at least, 1 gig just wont do Arma justice. I have 3 and play without a page-file and without any problems. To verify its not your sound card try disabling it in your device manager and run arma with no sound as a test

I had this problem and fixed it by disabling my page file (you need at least 2 gigs of RAM)

KJ, I've scanned through this post but theres so many pages I could have easily missed it, but how can I make the "Air View Distance" setting permanent? Â If I set it to 10km inside the recruitment building I can see from one end of the island to the other. Â Its fantastic and fixes the view distance bug. Â But I cant figure out how to make this a permanent fix, it only works if I do it in the recruitment building. Â I've looked everywhere but haven't found anyone else asking this question. Â So please Grasshappa, share your wisdom! Evo rox

I was having problems too until I disabled my paging file and turned off transparency antialiasing in my nvidia control panel. With 2 7800 gtx in SLI I was getting around 50-60 fps (until one card fried now I'm waiting on my replacement lol), but until I disabled my page file I couldnt even look at a bush or it would slow to a crawl. You need at least 2 gigs ram btw

Try disabling your page file, that fixed my problem, same as yours

If you have 2 gigs of ram, disable your page file, that fixed my problem that was same as yours, CTD

Get another gig of RAM, you need at least 2, then disable your page file. I had the same problem and that fixed it

your problem is memory. Disable your virtual memory if you have 2 gigs +. fixed my low frame rates

my first suggestion is try disabling your pagefile (virtual memory) if you have at least 2 gigs ram. check your system event log and see what the reason for the bsod is

After trying everything on the forums to fix my CTD problem, I fixed it by turning off transparency antialiasing in my Nvidia control panel. Dont ask me why... but my frame rate went up dramatically and Arma has not CTD since! I dont know if this will work for everyone but I'm happy I can finally play Arma multiplayer crash free!
