DEATHDEALER117

So I finally got this game to run smoothly... updating the drivers on the GPU was the major problem and then i downloaded the latest patch so I could play online... IF I would have known the problems that would cause me I would have NEVER updated and just played offline... So heres what happens, basically the game freezes for no reason at random points in the game - under heavy load or not - doesn't matter if I'm flying walking or whatever. (It is always ingame though) The computer I'm running this one could run this game 2-4 times simultaneously, so that is NOT the problem. I did do some searching around on the forums and didnt find much besides that there may (or not) be a problem with running ArmA2 through Steam. And I tried to find these files (this thread said something about finding them-http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=76670) but they weren't anywhere on my hard drive (cause of the problems? you tell me...) Specs- -Windows Vista -3.2 AMD quad-core -Nvidia 260 gtx 898 -4 gigs 1333 ram -Creative Labs Extreme sound card -This computer can also do a minor Overclock and its on a good motherboard(forgot the make/model) -Minor tuning. -Solid 50+ FPS on Crysis

yeah i wasnt really paying ANY attention... i know im an idoit... lol

im trying to play the campaign online but when i go to host it i cant find what im looking for.

i have almost every half life/ counter strike. how do i verify local game files?

wow i cant believe that i updated a steam game but i did... now it says theres no CD, how do i fix this?

Also i have Hitachi 7200 or 7500 RPM hard drive. yeah that would be great, id rather not invest another 500 bucks into this money hole... this computer has been clocked running Crysis on very high on EVERYTHING with about 30 FPS

Hi I bought ArmA2 the other day and I've been messing around with the settings and I cant get my FPS to go to really anything I deem playable because of huge lag spikes. I've read other people's posts and it seems like my computer should be running this at like 50-60 FPS. Suggestions or any knowledge on the matter would be very helpful. Motherboard Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe CPU AMD 3.2 Dual core Black Edition 6400+ Video Card NVIDIA Ge Force 260 GTX Super-overclocked Ram Adata 4 gigs of DDR2 ram 800 MHz Sound Card Creative X-FI Speakers Creative 5.1 surround sound Screen Samsung 22inch 1680 by 1050 Keyboard/Mouse Razer Lachesis / Lycosa Power Supply Xion 700 watt Now I'm thinking my ram and motherboard could be the source of the problem they are both outdated and at the time they werent all that great. Ive just been too lazy to really do anything about them.
