Ravenous26

Ok, I use to play a lot when this game first came out. Well I just did a clean install, then Queens Gambit and now the new 1.14 patch and go to play online. After waiting for 15 minutes the Receiving Mission File does not move at all, I am not sure if it is hanging up or what? I am confident this is not a firewall issue, or router as I currently have my gaming PC DMZ'd and I am not having trouble with other games. So I am hoping for a bit of help. Am I just not waiting long enough? Are there things I need to Dl? spec's Win XP System Model: 965P-S3 Processor: Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 3.20GHz (2 CPUs) Memory: 2046MB RAM Page File: 496MB used, 3441MB available DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GS Audio: SB X-Fi Audio Fatal1ty

Moving this post over here as it appears to be an issue with the router. Which I need a hand in fixing. I am using the same router I use to while I play this game a Netgear DI-524. I did set up my gaming rig to sit in the DMZ, so any ideas on what I can do to get it working?

Well I tried again and waited 45 minutes to connect to a server and no go. Anyone able to give me a hand with this please?

Yah, normaly games that are in process, Ie evolution 3.0 maps (last I played evolution 1.0 SP had just been released, its been a LONG time) I shall give it a shot later and just let it stew for a bit, thank god for DVR's. It will help kill some time

Also there are no mods installed in my game

Ok. Since I have began playing ARMA I have noticed something odd. Whenver my game crashes "which is very very often" my sound goes away until I reboot 2 - 3 more times. HOWEVER it still works in the game. Odd I know. If I do not restart, no sound in windows, no sounds with movies or mp3's. However when I load the game, sound works fine I use a fatal1ty sound card with latest driver 7900gs with latest driver 2 gigs of XMS 2 ram 3.2 pent 4 Nothing is overclocked, and I have very little runnin in the background (run smartclose), however the game still stutters quite often or It goes to the black reciving screen. I run settings on normal with no shadows and veiw distance of 2000. Need anything else just ask
