No problem here. Make sure you have the latest drivers, make sure the card setting is on game mode - this is very important, finally make sure you install the latest OpenAL driver. Good luck.

Nvidia driver with dual core support lots faster?
awins1 replied to Mr Opteron's topic in ARMA - TROUBLESHOOTING
Not sure as I have not used ATI card in a while. I know NVidia has the capability to turn it off or on, or just leave it on Auto. By the way, the 162.15 XP nvidia beta drivers are great so far for my 8800 GTS. -

Recent releases of Nvidia driver's already have dual core support. ATI drivers have this also. -
Vista drivers were pulled, the XP 162.15 are still up at Nvidia.
-
I installed the new beta driver 162.15 last night and played a bit of Arma, GRAW2 demo, and Quakewars beta. All was great, no BSOD's. It felt like Arma was smoother, but I did not spend enough time with it to make a call. Worth a try for sure.

there is no software for monitoring for grafix card ram. At least open the case door while you play to see if it is the airflow, or get a fan to blow on the card.
-
Those artifacts you are getting in one of your sceenshots are likely related to your grafix card memory overheating. The software monitoring the temps only show temps for your chip on the grafix card, not for memory. Make sure your card gets enough ariflow. After playing for over 30mins, your card and case may be getting too hot, resulting in those artifacts. You may want to underclock your card just to test it out to satisfy yourself, at least the memory. Don't go by results while playing another game, each game is different - I'm speaking from personal experience. Edit: ofpforum, you typed faster

So soon? It will be a year since main game release when this expansion hits the street. I prefer expansions, vs new game release. If it is priced as an expansion, it will be worth it.

Just found a possible announcement of an expansion for Arma. See the below link: Strategy Informer The link includes a few screenies. quote Game Description 505 Games is proud to announce the official expansion pack for its critically acclaimed title ArmA: Armed Assault - considered the most realistic tactical combat simulation ever made - entitled ArmA: Queen’s Gambit. The ultimate test of human war skills has reached its climax! Features: - Two new story based campaigns · Rahmadi Conflict: The true conclusion to the original ArmA story, with enormous battles taking place within massive fortifications on the Rahmadi Island and brand new Porto Island. · Royal Flush: 18 months after the original conflict, a group of seasoned mercenaries arrives to help the government with a sensitive matter that the army can‘t handle by itself any longer. However, there is something highly suspect about this job… - New Multiplayer Missions · Urban Raid: A cooperative multiplayer scenario designed for a group of six battle-hardened Special Forces soldiers. · Battle of Porto: A “capture and hold†scenario for forty players on a brand new and beautiful sandy island of Porto.

You do not need either one if you are running Vista - these are already built into the OS. If you are running XP, by all means do install these, especially the dual core optimizer.

setting it to maxmem=512 solved these crashes for me. Any other numbers did not work for me.
-
I have successfully installed beta patches to Atari's DVD version and to Morphicon's download versions. Have you replaced any original addons with modded ones? This may be the issues you are having.
-
With the latest beta patch, my 8800GTS 640mb works great. I play 1650x1080 resolution, textures on high, objects on very high, AF+shadows very high, shaders on normal, PP on low (can go higher but I don't like it), and AA on low. Looks awesome.
-
Are you running the textures on Normal? Have not tested the new patch, but with previous 1.07, turning textures to High solved that problem for me.

Use QTracker, it has buddy list and supports Arma.
