    When i load into any game in ARMA II in multiplayer mode it loads up and once i enter the game it appears that all the vehicles and players are floating and sometimes they appear to be underwater. I am getting alot of game crashes also with the message "display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has sucessfully recovered". Can anyone suggest what the problem is and a possible fix i have installed the latest drivers from nvidia etc. Any help much appreciated.

    What I meant was that people are getting an issue with textures vanishing. For some people applying the SLI fix fixes the problem, for some people adding -winxp or reducing the amount of ram fixes the problem.

    So all I'm saying is give these things a try. If they work then hooray, if not, try something else.

    I have added the winxp switch and it works a treat... thanks to all for inputs much appreciated

    I can also confirm that on this driver 186.18 the video memory detection works good with 4 GB physically installed and does not work good (detects double the amount that's on the card) with 6 GB installed.

    Windows Vista x64 GTX285.

    Is this an explanation for tons of CTD's some users are experiencing? e.g the game tries to access memory that's not available after a while?

    Thanks To All I Added The -winxp switch and it works fine full specs finally i can play the game without having to take memory out of my pc

    Cheers

    I'm running Vista Ultimate x64 and have 8Gigs RAM, by the way.

    Hope this helps someone.

    I'm running vista 64bit also and 8gb Ram and getting the same problem. if you take 4gb of ram off your board it works fine, put 4gb back to make it up to 8gb then it has a dicky fit again. must be related to the amount of memory on your system.

    This is my shortcut path for the game and i not sure how to insert the winxp switch as mine is through steam???

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 33920

    Any ideas

    Thanks In Advance

    Sorry, this just isn't accurate. The patch you installed might have done something to fix your problem, but it was not related to the amount of VRAM you had unless perhaps one of your cards has bad VRAM.

    I have 8 GB of RAM and a GF 8800GTS 512 MB card, and have the exact problem as the original poster. Add the -winxp switch to the shortcut (so it reads arma2.exe -winxp or something similar, for example) and it should fix the problem. Once I launched with that switch, the graphics were fine and I was able to crank everything up to high/very high (including textures) and had no problems.

    I've read that this switch emulates having 4 GB of RAM, though I am not 100% sure what it does. All I know is that I researched the problem, found the switch mentioned as a possible solution, and can confirm it works.

    Thanks for evryones quick replies, Blanghorst any chance you could post up the exact text in your shortcut so i can give it a try.

    Thanks Again

    When i play the game with 4gb memory its works fine, but when i put my full amount of memory in to my system (8gb) the graphics get all messed up it looks like a really poor cartoon drawing in game, the trees look square blocks etc. I have taken all the memory out and used the second 4gb on its own and its fine the graphics are spot on. Also had my Motherbaird tested by Asus and its working 100% with all Ram slots fine.

    Any ideas on this one or if possible a simple fix.

    Thanks
