    Signed up for the forums, just to say I have the same issues. Massive graphical glitches all over the place. Chernarus Island is unplayable for me.

    Try setting textures and video memory to normal. That takes care of it for me usually. If I try to put it higher than that I get the terribly blinding artifacts. As for someone who mentioned overheating/overclocking, my card never gets above 60C when playing Arma II, so it is not the problem. Plus it goes away once I set the textures to normal.

    Yeah but for how long?

    When I fire the Arma2 client up, after a fresh reboot it runs beautifully with almost all in-game settings set to Very High.

    After about 30 mins of MP gaming, it's slowed down so that its about half the performance and then it will CTD.

    I think there's a lot more to statements of performance in Arma2 than just "Its faster". What we should do is start to collate all this information with a standard set of criteria such as...

    PC Spec

    OS

    Resolution

    In-game settings

    Out-game settings

    Performance in MP - First 30 mins

    Performance in MP - Subsequent 30 mins

    Performance in SP - One Mission - First 30 mins

    Performance in SP - One Mission - Subsequent 30 mins

    Or something along those lines. That way we can start to analyse the results and start to put a picture together of where the common break points are. Otherwise all we'll continue to see are statements like this one, that without any context are meaningless.

    I'm sure this has been said before but, the game probably has a serious memory leak that's why performance drops over time.

    I've been having this problem lately with Arma 2. I don't think the game is running at the correct resolution settings. Every once in a while when I start the game up the menu is fuzzy and unclear, definitely not the resolution I have it set at which is 1280X1024 (19" monitor :/ ). I think this mismatch makes its way into the game because it doesn't seem as clear. I can easily tell the difference when it works because I can see the soldiers face much more clearly on the startup screen, and in game. I've tried opening and closing the game, but today it wouldn't work.

    Could it be because I have the -nosplash parameter?

    I am running the Steam version.

    Also, this also happened with Empire: Total War, but just a game restart and it would fix it. I think it has something to do with Steam, but I could be wrong.
