Ok. Hope its gone in W7 OEM. No problems with the game in Vista, but it runs smoother on W7. :D

Hi , bought Arma 2 off steam. Starts and runs well, exept the normal graphic loading when u return to base or something after u die. But when i play campaign or multiplayer, i get small freezes each half a minute. Not bad really, a freeze that lasts a second tho. But flying a chopper with my mates inside, close to ground, its not fun to get 'unfrozen' inside a tree ;) Anyone else experience this and/or have a solution?

Gnarble!! Â Ran Arma 1.09 Beta smooth for some days, until today. Flew around wasting and reaking havoc on the enemy. But when i went for 3 mins break to feed my dog, i came back to a locked game. Couldnt ctrl-alt-del, nothing. Then after a while i got control back to windows, with 640x420 resolution and 8 bits colours, Â i got a horrible error that i thought was gone. Error : The display driver nv4_disp has stopped responding.. Â Any solution to that?

Omg Sickboy.. You should be called smartboy.. It works!!!! OMG it works!!!! Â Why cant BIS make a fix for it then??? WHY?? 4 gig doesnt work but 3gig. Like , hello Praise Sickboy!!!! Â Â But, errr... Could u fix the 'nvlddmkm has stopped responding' Â error too?? Its plaguing my system in every game. Also could play 30mins now until the error came.. Thanks again Sickboy, youre the man. PS, how do i remove that entry if i want all memory back?

Omg Victor, you hit the nial right on the head there. I was very exited, mark was, when this game was on its way. Even bought meself a new rig to play it with full graphix and really enjoy it. 4000 euro !!! down the drain.. Now we have a black loading screen that noone bothers to fix. Neither BIS or Nvidia. Tho i reported it several times since the preceeding driver from nvidia (154.xx)... Now we have release upon release that changes nothing. No patches upcoming for the game. Just that arma 2 is coming soon, like wth??? Spew out new game even before the first has settled. Seems like money is more important than reputation. But.. Back to why i came here.. again.. Nvidia has new beta 169.71.. Do i even need to bother try DL it and try if the blackscreen is gone??? Anyone?? Â Â

No luck ages ago.. Hmm, i guess this post died. Nvidia 158.45 didnt have this problem, but why coldnt the following drivers keep it away?? Also BI doesnt care, because the game doesnt support Vista.. Sigh...

Hmmmz. Ok so its mixed emotions and targeting with these spoilers.. I agree that Evolution is a good idea, and surely needs overhaul. Seen servers that have anti cheat/hack on but them too is attacked somewhat. So its not only Evolution then that can be mocked, but all multiplayer maps can become targets. Sigh, the future looks grim of play MP...  I gotta tell ya all, i miss OFP. No gamespy lobby and more closed games. Like Zeus, realism on and with TS. It was like i was back in the army. lol  And why cheat and hack on Coop??... erhmm..  Â

Ok.. Been playing the multiplayer game, Evolution. All versions thats out there. Enjoyed it actually for a while, climbing in ranks n such. But after a while, some smart asses or admins or whatever spawned zombies, trucks and tanks and cars and.. yes, in the house we spawn after death, friendly units that kills you and if u kill them u loose points, flying planes without proper score or rank, running fast as a lighting.. You name it, seen alot of cheats and hacks or whatsitcalled... Im wondering, are these hacksorcracksorwhatsitsname only limited to Evolution or can people do this on every multiplayer map thats created?? My future of playing Armed Assault is at stake here.... Â

Sigh, ok.. So nvidia released yet another driver, beta i might add.. Anyone tested it? Still black ugly crappy game destroying non playable loading screen?? Â DL'ing it now..

So Nvidia released a new driver yesterday. Hopes where high yet another time. But no!! Â Still blackassed loading screen with Vista. And yes, still the crapped ass old error 'NVLDDMKM has stopped responding' Â haunting my system. Guess we need a patch to even get it started now on vista. Or is it the ordinary message from BIS (505) "Dont use Vista" Â Well, whatever.. Cant we get it fixed soon? More and more users will probably use Vista soon, so why not fix it? Like, pls? Want me to beg? Â

Personally i dont think it'll be patched soon. Using 158.xx nvidia driver makes the loading screen problem go away. But i like the latest driver, finally i can see the whole desktop on my LCD. But i cant play the friggin game. Â I think they r to buzzy working on their next release.

Do u use 162.22 beta or WHQL? If so, use 158.24. No black loading screen then.. Â

and before that?? arma was ok with another driver?? Â If yes, which driver was you can play with arma?? I used 162.22 beta. Prior to that, i used the 158.xx drivers.. Stable and good. But now i dont dare to install the newest WHQL. Im afraid of more bugs. Using 158.24 now, and can play well. Any1 tried the 162.22 WHQL? Â

Ok, so now nvidia has released another WHQL. Version 162.22. Any black loading screen with this 1? And do any1 think that nvlddmkm display error has gone with it? Â

Joining in on this problem too. Updated my Nvidia Drivers to 163.11 and, whoppeeee, game over.... Â
