    I have seen the same thing Kevlar is seeing, on ocassions.

    If I set my game res to 2560x1600. (1920x1200 is best I can get out of it)

    If I set all settings to max.

    A few beta drivers from nvidia have cuased it, including 162.22whql. (I'm staying w/158.24 for now)

    Not using -maxmem=512 with/without any of the above.

    I can reproduce his error (pic) at anytime with WRONG settings and or drivers.

    .....but he will prob think this is another "pointless" post

    I found a work-around some months back that seemed to work for quite a few people using Vista. Uninstall DX10 and install the latest DX9 available via Microsoft. Although, this "fix" seems to be hit and miss at best.

    Actually you may have somthing..but do not uninstall DX10!!

    I do keep DX9 updated also b/c of 3dmark06.

    Other than that I've done,

    Vsync forced off.

    -maxmem=512

    no SLI.

    ArmA plays with no issues.

    And when its running it causes lag for a lot of players when its trying to update etc, and other hassels if you have a bad connection to the PB Update server, which seems to be more frequent for more players I have spoken too.

    This is all true.

    But as an admin...I choose to deal with those issues just to keep a few of the cheaters out...and we luv catching the new ones.:) Updates are not that frequent...and on bad days, "pb updating"...I just temporarely disable it.

    Not only is there PB, but the PsB (PunkSbusted) system.

    It is only used on 13 pc titles and their sub/categories, but there are over 9 million guids tracked, with close to 63,000 bans! Now if you think it causes that much "lag", why is there over 4600 servers using it? Becuase it does help!

    I did indeed, funny how my ArmA experience is mirroring my OFP experience  banghead.gif

    Your setup should play as/if not better than mine. (until sli works solid)

    You are using 32bit..a + for ArmA.

    Other things I've added, Dual Core Optimizer from AMD. Rarely used, but if I start getting glitches in games..enabling it stops those. Have you tried set affinity with either game? I'm not having to...but this is a weird pc I have.

    Vista Home Premium 32bit

    AMD 6000+ X2 CPU

    2gb RAM

    8800 Ultra vid card

    I'm getting completely random crashes, no errors or anything just a good old fashioned CTD. Haven't managed to stay in the game for longer than 5 minutes.

    Have you tried the -maxmem=512 tweak?

    Ok! Now its working.. a bit better. Why do sometimes all the hmm how do you say it.. textures drops down like i would you use extra extra low settings!? anyone?  help.gif

    Are you talking about after viewing the map, or respawning... the graphics take 1-2 secs to fully load? (looking straight down loads them fastest for me)

    I see that ocasionally, I believe it's a driver issue still being worked on by nvidia. With some of the older drivers I never seen it.

    I have noticed that when I set the resolution and frequency in game the same as the desk top settings

    I wish I could play at 2560x1600 as my desktop is.. but no way. 1920x1200 is max for me w/ArmA..or else CTD's start happening.

    And 60hz is the only setting for the Dell 30in.

    Just a quick heads-up: scum sucking cheating groups is currently (Aug 1-10th) holding a TK-Contest.

    That means there will probably be some increased TK-activity going on on public servers.

    So... Keep your eyes open, and your finger on the ban button... wink_o.gif

    hmmmm... maybe 1 of us needs to open a special server for their event......

    Thanks 4 the heads up.

    Just played a DTB Heavy for 2.5 hrs.

    I must say Job Well Done!

    Minor bug we seen...

    me as team leader (east team) purchased a couple bmp's manned...took the money..but never spawned.

    It was such a blast even though it was a 2 hr spanking we took.

    Keep it coming, notworthy.gif

    After playing mfcti for so many years...and now beta testing mfcti for arma (by blinkster).. I see a major speed difference.. I play/ed both at the same time, just alt-tabing between the 2. And I was comparing..walk/run/vehicles ect.

    Not only a "faster feel"...but lots smoother.

    Just because the only game that crashes is Arma, does not mean that Arma is the CAUSE of the problem.

    Your "deductive reasoning" does not apply to computer problems.

    You can have a hardware/driver issue that lies dormant until an App/game tries to access/utilize the component that is not working.

    uhh...i think i said that earlier..but didn't mean no harm (as others "thought")

    I'm glad he listed his specs..so suggestion could be offered.

    It was the name of this topic that bugged me. I've never purchased a pc title that was the cause of a critcal error...aka BSOD!!

    valid point dwarden, but out of those 10000 homes how many play ArmA?huh.gif

    so i might lose 2 or maybe 3 honest players from one city or whatever

    if it keeps my server free from idiots then actually my server gets a better name, and more people come to play because it is free of idiots.

    ID banning is as useless as u like, Keygens are available, and until u prevent the X many digit ID's from connecting to servers u cannot protect them any other way than but to IP range ban, save for locking the server.

    with a  good firewall and use of netlog u can be pretty accurate with IP bans, and then u can have all kinds of fun with the hackers, drop them from only 1 port, so they can see your full server that would like to ruin, but OH NO they can't connect, and because ArmA is waiting for info, the game has hung, OH DEAR, best reboot your computer and try again, OOPS, its done it again.

    they get bored of rebooting eventually and give up, meaning not only are they not attacking my server, but for 15 minutes or so, they haven't attacked any other server

    I like your solution wink_o.gif
