Blueshift

I've got this too, this is keeping me out of this game. /me plays SF4 instead

Using -openal in your shortcut like you used -winxp or -maxmem=2047. This fix cut me half of graphic corruption I encountered. Last NVidia's drivers (well, at least 190.38) are said to boost performance quite good but I still didn't tried.

Try -openal ? And/or last Nvidia drivers ? (there are said to improve perf)

Shhhhh, my secret plan... I'm making me ennemies here, so a lot of people will want to kill me online when I could play so I'll never play alone... :D "Where are hte demo realase date ?" muahaha :o I think I hurt myself first :)

It's so funny when people with acceptable problems (and the acceptable barrier is really low for me : no bsod, ctd if I can play 1 hour, the very same barrier as in the 90's) say the other part of the world is whinners. You're posting in a special place of the forums where people have technical problems you know. You guessed it's full of "whinners", so smart of you. Let's whine then : "please, let me see AI bugs"

My special insight concludes that I can't do anything to fix the "thing" :) (and now it threathens me lol) I told you "2nd most broken game in my gamer experience" and playing v.games since Mario, it's not a joke just for the purpose of it. It's the truth in my experience. It includes your config.sys games (such a big deal by the way). In the great years of 2009, now you can't reinstall games all the way you want on top of that. You've got 3 lives. Then game over. In 90's, had a problem ? Reinstall ! Time wasted ? Don't care i'm a child ! I'm not sure I lost days of (insert big quotes heres) "work" in the 90's. Arma2 scores, more or less, 15 hours here. Multiply it by the bunch of crybabies like you told, and you have quite a raisonable amount of free man.hour-1. Imo, when games were made by technogeeks they would work. If something was broken you could try. Today games are made by artists and "every single forum is filled with whines" like you said. Well...

It may be Nexway's installer ?

You told too much or not enough. Anyway, to me, and i'm very sorry to say that because of all the work involved in it, it's still a thing. I will call it a game when I could stop to play it by my own, and more than 12 min 53 sec +/- 12 min 02 sec -edit- and stop reading thread here and on 100% of them say "oh I have this bug too !" It's sad (for me).

I'm not upset because I bought this game a month ago and can't wait. I will wait, but I'm sure I sadly won't fully come back in this game. What is your job ? Do you sell broken things ? This is the new trend in technologics. What about a restaurant that would sell rotten things or half finished dishes "yeah, french fries comes after the dessert, but it's before the starters so you can't blame us, you had everything" ? Or a truck driver that would make car accidents just to be faster ? Video Games is the only market that permit these things ? I want to work fast me too ! Personally, I'm a software dev for insurance compagny. I should do the same, testing things is boring after all. I know, I know, customers would eventually owns millions of euros to some random insurances compagny, or the opposite, but hey, that's life guys. A lot of them would have no problems so "why do you rant crybabies" ? Maybe I come from dark ages or i'm some kind of dumb naïve guy or else but quality > quantity imho. I don't understand why BI released this thing one month ago. In my gamer experience (from Supermario in the 80's to now) it's the second most buggy game at release I ever played (1st was Soldner Secret Wars and the release was a shame). ---------- Post added at 06:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ---------- I wish I could apply in a group, lol.

You're 100% right. Especially with a dual CPU setup. OP, go check this : http://www.coolermaster.com/support/psu_calculator.php

Not in the 90's. Games worked out of the box in the 90's. And in the early 00's.

Funny, he doesn't speak anymore ^^

What is your single, most annoying bug in the game ? No buglist, no top 3, no nothing, only one bug. ;) What is it ? Maybe this topic will help BI to prioritise your bug over other... Mine is the rudder control.

Your screen is 100Hz ? If not it's useless :)

Cool study... Could you open a ticket in http://dev-heaven.net As an i7 user I will test this. Arma2 seems to be quite exigeant on permanant settings, like VSync off / Physics off and here, Hyperthreading off. I don't know if BI can fix this :/ I would be very very interested by your .cfg file, I've got a setup that is close (i7920 / 3Gb DDR-3 PC 12800 / P6T (not deluxe) / GFX260 / WinXP 32). I'm currently annoyed by lots of ctds and bsod that I hadn't at the begining of my install (I think I tweaked too much the game, especially in C:\Documents and Settings\XXXXXX\My documents\ArmA 2 Other Profiles\BlueShift).

CA made this thread because a lot of ppl like me whined about no PR. I was the whiner who proposed them to look what acheived CCP (Eve Online) with their community. CCP made a great job with their fans, +/- 10 devs speaks to the community a few time per week. I think BI are better than CA anyway. CA is too much consensual and politically correct with themselves imo. They don't speak to us, but in the community tracker here http://dev-heaven.net/home .

Got artifacts ? Mine are almost gone :) ==> http://dev-heaven.net/issues/show/2607#note-6 ---------- Post added at 09:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ---------- that's what i said in the above post -openal changed my life man :) So much thanks :)

Well, putting 182.5 worked just better but, I still can't play the game :( ctd, ctd, ctd and gray textures, receiving, ctd, ctd , ctd, and gray textures :( I'm sad, I though I could play at least one hour, it's more like 5 minutes and crash. :( (If you wondering, i7920, 3Gb DDR3 12k8, mobo is an Asus P6T, WinXP 32 bit on a raptor, Arma2 on another one, gpu is a ENGTX260, the PSU is a Corsair 650W).

godwin point

If you like europe's beers, try the best ones : Belgium's beers tbh. Like "Chimay Bleue" ("Chimay Grande Reserve" ftw), "Rochefort 12", "Kwak" and so on. I'm totally fond of these. And no, I'm not from there, I'm french :p :)

My hero... Will try this asap

I got an i7, 920, i'm very happy with it, but i'm not sure Arma2 use it very well... :/

It help the plane to fly, seriously :) I think it's a mathematical problem. The function BI used to automatize the comeback of the "flaps" is bugged. This function is clearly divergent, they need to re-calculate. There's math on it, BI should put one of their ingeneers on it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_engineering) -edit- oh and it's my #1 bug on my "wish it would work" list.

I had got same problems with an i7 920, GTX260, 3Gigs of ram, XP 32, nothing overclocked. I managed to get a little more stability with : * .cfg * "D:\ArmA 2\arma2.exe" -cpuCount=8 -noCB -maxmem=1900 <--- maxmem 1900 helped me a lot. * 146 Megas in Paging Memory to store WinXP's usage (100 Meg on my rig), 2 extra Megas for security (146+2+1900 = max XP memory's usage) * PhysicsX Off and what is said about NVidia optimisations. My game CTD or BSOD really very few times since I did all the above.
