Those 190.38 drivers murder other games .... can't use them :(

Yep, only supports Cray super computers and Voodoo chipsets according to the 9875897487535734 other threads and even stickied at the top of this forum for nvidia users.

I fully expect that the gtx295 users will find that when arma 1.3 is applied that their computers simply explode and save them the trouble/worry of anymore problems. ;P)

190.xx drivers beta/whql doesn't do other games any favors, gta4 won't even work anymore even after rolling back/driver cleaning... great.

999fps in Q3 ;) To sort the cows you need to add -animal_ears_enable=true to your startup icon.

If the whiners actually saw a full change list they'd whine because it's too much to read.

I hear that good things grow out of shit ;) - aka the philosophers stone ;) I'm very sure BIS are up to their necks in code making this thing better each day - it is a pity that they won't address a few deeper issues that have plagued the game for some time (like getting into a helicopter online with someone with a *huge* ping ;) Ah, well, time for my afternoon prayer for patch 1.3 ;)

Can someone point me towards an idiots guide to getting this up http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_help :)

Yay! :) - i feel less idiotic!

That isn't helpful ;/ Idiots guide i need ;) - there must be a gotcha i'm missing - please don't post existing information from official sources as they are not helping - or something is wrong/missing that they don't mention.

I had this in other games. Usually, it looks like the computer is stuck in a tiny loop - this is a graphics card error when it gets too hot (time to clean the dust off your fans!). Because this game is stressing your components to the max, you must check that your cooling and case are fine - and the main culprit here is the Gcard being furred up with dust and/or airflow problems. Sometimes people think leaving the side off their case helps cooling - and it can actually NOT help as the air flow isn't going around the way it should inside the pc box. After cleaning the fan on your gpu, make sure that cables are tidy inside the box so that air can move around. Also, if you have 3+ hard drives in your machine then consider just having 1 active (think of heat inside your box) Make sure the box isn't near a wall and the air can escape freely. Then make sure that your other cards inside your box are spaced away from the GPU if possible. Hope that helps! If all this fails, it may be that your gpu has become faulty :(

The coders are really hardcore for ARMA/OFP and even mods surrounding it - this is a real monster piece of software and will be worth the wait for ironing out bugs. Go play ARMA 1 for a bit to remind yourself what it's all about while the coders beat the living crap out the many issues :) The Community bug tracker is a great example of how they see all the issues and you get to see what's being done - rather than being kept in the dark, we are shown *everything* that is going on. If you think they are still messing about, goto a local bookstore and look though a few C++ books or something till you understand how hard all the stuff is :)

Evga patch . 182.50 . vista64 - getting more stable!

It's a day shot... don't know why it came out so dark :) It doesn't look too shabby in game, i'll go get some screens

i'm getting massive fps improvments with that evga patch (and i'm using a different brand) vsync is still off - use the -maxmem=2047 and i'm hitting 90-100 in the towns... This fix has made all the models and textures look less 'blocky'

With gtx 295?

Yeah, there's nothing like getting a chopper with someone who has a huge ping ;)

Reinstall the 182.50 driver :) - it helps :)

182.50 works fine :)

Dudes, leave your config alone (and the shortcut) if on vista64 - just delete the old config and take the steps listed in that link. Basically you'll solve all your glitches with the roll back to 182.50 and the other stuff will give you fast fps so you can play while BIS refine this game... It's not even a bodge fix, i'm finding i'm running around in game mouth agape and looking forward to each patch day and a cheaper second 295 in a year or two ;) I get 140 fps in the opening screen, no lag in game with those fixes - stick your head in a bucket of water as you'll need a bit of focus to sort it :) BTW : I only found this out recently, but Vsync is a card killer - disabling it means that your FPS isn't averaged - so instead of the engine going 60,59,58,57,etc when load increases - it goes - 60, 40, 30 ,20 = judders - so roll back driver, delete your cfg file, disable vsync and glhf :)

Fixed and flying - great portent for how this beast will run :) http://forums.bistudio.com/showpost.php?p=1324488&postcount=14 There are 'gotchas' - like removing the cfg file after making the changes and the Sync off. I'm in multiplayer and no crashes now after having a mare for 2 days :)

Solved a few issues here: 182.50 nvidia driver = GOOD - newer drivers = graphical grossness/flickering. Leave default nvidia setting in the control panel BUT disable Vsync and the gtx flies :) I tried with performance setting on the texture filtering and that helped also. Using the -maxmem=2047 -winxp i7 @ 4.00 D0 with Gtx295 on vista 64 - 6gig. Get 140fps on intro screen - 30-44 in multiplayer running at 1920*1040 (native) and 100% fillrate. Hope that helps - the driver change reallY helped me get a better result. Also remove your cfg file after making these changes and sort out the settings in game. Turn fraps OFF = W O W :)
