Awesome, verified that the hotfix solves this issue and I was able to complete Badlands.

I have run into this issue also. :( I have patch 1.03 installed.

Hey man, I had the same issue and the recent 2nd 1.02 patch still didn't fix it. However, I found two ways of fixing it from browsing the forums here. #1 - Add -winxp to the end of the Arma 2 shortcut (that will limit the game only only seeing 4 GB of memory I think). or #2 - go back to older Nvidia drivers. I just uninstalled the 186.16 Nvidia drivers and installed an older version 178.24. That 100% fixed my issue and Arma is working with all my memory now with -winxp switch. ***EDIT 182.50 Nvidia drivers are also working correctly*** (So this really seems like an issue between this games and recent drivers? Wierd... at least it's working with no missing texture crap) Intel q9450 8 GB RAM Vista Ultimate 64 Geforce 8800 GTS 512 OC

Confirmed issue is still happening in 1.02. :mad:

I am also having this issue. It looks like everything is missing textures. Grass shows up as black blocks for example. Vista SP 2 Ultimate 64-bit Core 2 Quad Q9450 8 GB RAM Nvidia 8800 GTS 512 the -winxp switch fixed the problem for now.
