You could try the latest beta or wait for the 1.04 patch which is imminent - the latest betas fixed this entirely on the machine I was experiencing it (have two with separate ARMA2 installs for LAN).

Right click on your Arma2 shortcut and select 'Properties'. In the box 'Target' you will see the path to the executable eg. "F:\ARMA2\Bohemia Interactive\arma2.exe". Just type a single space and then -winxp after the closed quote - so, on my machine: "F:\ARMA2\Bohemia Interactive\arma2.exe" -winxp

Odd - we played six hours co-op LAN last night with the 59025 beta and not a single occurrence of the receiving bug (when previously it was every 20 mins with 1.03).

LOL ... that's great :-)

Yeah, I have two purchased copies, one on each machine here at home for LAN play.

I built a 2nd machine this week for LAN play when buddies visit - Q9550, 4gb RAM, GTX285, 500Gb HD, 600watt PSU, Vista 64bit etc. My friend and I played MP Arma2 (I bought a 2nd copy today) with him on the new machine and he was plagued with the receiving bug constantly until we installed the latest beta (58899) and since then, not a single recurrence. Now, either we were very lucky or the beta has sorted the issue but I figured it would be good to let others know our experience. Triangle

It will regen a new one on the next start up.

Texture flickering, yes, tearing, no. No offence but word your question correctly next time ;-)

Hmm ... I haven't had any vsync/tearing issues with ARMA2 with my GTX285. I have vysnc forced in the Nvidia control panel for both general and a specific ARMA2 profile that I created.

Press the . key on the numpad ....

This is what I get with the same spec card: localVRAM=2130771968; nonlocalVRAM=1341747200; No idea if these figures are correct. For me, the game runs fine with everything set to high except for post-processing which I turn off. I average between 30fps and 50fps most of the time ... running a Q9550 o'c to 3.3ghz, 4gb DDR2 800mhz RAM slightly underclocked on Vista 32bit. Nvidia 186.18 drivers installed. If i go to very high it's a slideshow ... so i don't :-)

Press spacebar, scroll to communications at the bottom of the menu and work your way thru the SpecOps item to Accept.

You might want to wait. As others mentioned, you might not get much return in terms of FPS from upgrading. I went from a 8800GTX w/786meg to a GX285 w/2gig (running on a Q9550 o'c to 3.3ghz and 4gig RAM) and gained only a few FPS at best. Other games, however, saw a huge leap in FPS.

I get the chopper not departing issue, too, but also mission triggers don't occur eg. escort friendly team - when i get to the team, nothing happens, they just stay prone and fail to move on.
