Well, Gamersgate Refunded my Purchase, i'm gonna try Re-buying the game from Steam... SHOULD work with their system.

not sure what swapfile is, and i am not overclocked

Well, Now it with this 3rd install attempt and whole new DOwnload it doesnt even install halfway, it does the same error at the start with "AddOns\air_h.pbo"

i have no idea what "md5s" are, and Gamers gate uses their own DOwnloader and install launcher, so theres not alot i can do. What sprocket account? Theres no "sprocket.log" file in what Gamersgate Downloads, it's all archived .BIN files that the installer uses and unpacks. And where do i download these new files? and how would i get them to install with Gamergates downloader/installer? the Setup.exe or what ever is inside their downloader along with most other things for the game during DOwnload/install process. After my Complaint with GamersGate, i figured to try a 3rd time, I see the Download is now 14.6GB, thats a whole GB more then the last 2 days i tried this...perhaps they fixed their Version... we'll see in a few hours >_<

I sent a ticket to both the games support and Gamersgate, and i just got the typical response from Gamersgate (bno response yet from here) as if he didnt even read my ticket...otherwise he wouldnt of done the "stupidity check" cause i already layed out all the steps i did...uughhh. I also asked for a Refund, even if it's $10 more i'll Get it from Steam instead, at least there i know It gets installed properly (usually).

As mentioned above, i did do that. "today I deleted everything tried DL all over again for a fresh DL and install but still same thing... "

I get this when trying to Install... I purchased the game from Gamersgate last night and got this then went to bed frustrated with a 13GB download then long install to have this pop up half way... today I deleted everything tried DL all over again for a fresh DL and install but still same thing... Does Gamergate have a bad copy?? how can i fix this without waiting weeks for a fixed copy?

it's not like leaps and bounds below... and although the demo may not have everything in it, i would assume the tree's are the same, the weapons used are the same, the buildings, enemys, friendly units, landscape ect. are similar if not the same. so i dont quite see your point as to how simply added items will crash the video card if it runs a demo using (i would assume) full game graphics and features (of those unlocked) that are in the game.

well i tried Campaign and Scenario and it crashed again... something i am noticing though is it seems to happen when i'm on the battlefield. During the 1st campagin mission everything was fine and smooth threw the boat stuff and helicopter ride, but once i landed 3 min later, Crash. Same thing for Scenario, 2 min in and crash. i know my computer can handle it cause it did the Demo just fine, and as far as i know the majority of the game is in there (minus all vehicles and weapons ect..) so it seems odd that i couldnt handle it. Computer specs are: eMachine AMD athelon 64 processor 3200+ 1.99ghz 2.5GB RAM Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS 256mb WinXP Home SP3 No Firewall active and currently no AV installed (had to uninstall AVG Free, didnt reinstall yet).

I'm am constantly Crashing to desktop when ever i try to play a multiplayer game (havnt tried singleplayer, but i'm sure it's be the same issue). I updated my graphics driver and my DirectX (altough i had already latest on that), but it still is crashing every 2-10 min on average, i think the longest i went was 15 min. The Demo didnt do this, it ran abit slowly but it did not crash, also i have graphics set to the lowest on everything. Here is the link for the 3 files as asked on the Sticky concerning crashes and such. i hope this can get fixed since i only bought this 2 days ago and would love to get playing this properly. http://rapidshare.de/files/47757429/ArmA2_crash.rar.html
