    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
