I almost... almost - bought in to this wierd BIS syndrome again... I play for two hours - all is well... I patch - the game goes crazy - wild artifacting of graphics, far more noticable and heavy stuttering, then it crashes - every time (while it was running it may have been 1fps faster - hard to tell).. I uninstall and reinstall Arma2 and patch back to 1.02... I play the game for two hours - all is well... I almost believed it - I almost started checking my graphics drivers, my wlan (except I don't have one), my Win7 install, my BIOS, my HD, my defrag, my process priority, my background tasks, my... etc etc etc Two months in the making and I'm afraid the patch seems to have done nothing for more than half of us, with a small proportion reporting significantly worse behaviour! It's almost funny... almost...

Just noticed this thread after posting in another... I've got the same crazy white jagged texture flashing symptoms reported here... the game shudders and FPS drops - eventually it locks and crashes... It was working reasonably OK - I'd been playing for a while before - installed the patch and haven't been playing much since!! I hope nobody tells me it must be a problem with the graphics drivers!

Ever since I patched I've been getting a lot more frequent stuttering. Then after a little while big jagged areas of the screen start flashing white - whole strips of texture change to white and back again while it lurches and shudders some more - finally it'll lock completely and then crash... Everything was fine (well - apart from all the obvious other stuff from popping textures to frozen civvies, inexplicable lags, etc ) - in 1.02... Nothing else has changed - I was playing for an hour or two - came to the forums and noticed the patch - installed it without problems and haven't been able to keep the game running for more than about 10 or 15 minutes since... not even in a mission - just driving around the island... Something serious has changed, and not for the better,:( Fortunately I hadn't patched my little toy dedi server (there didn't seem much point), so I think I'll be pulling the contents of its arma folder back over and reverting to 1.02 for now... EDIT* it seems Im not alone, theres 2 posts in this thread reporting what sounds like the exact same problem as me! http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=82815
