Gill..

Thanks, I did find the 8 GB thread.... did the XP fix - and no, didn't work. However - I did it from the icon - will try with the launch option as well. Thanks. It is unacceptable though, especially considering I got the extra 4 GB's after CTD from lack of RAM ---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 PM ---------- Update, the -XP when used in the lauch configuration within STEAM DID work!!! Thank you much, performance looks a little less - I'll give full test later. Appreciate the help

Ok, got the CRT last week. It played fine afterwards until I bought 4 additional GB's of RAM. Installed the RAM, tweaked outside of the game for 2 nights to ensure stability. Got stability and tried ARMA 2 yesterday. Textures disappeared.. GONE, seems to be only using one of my 4 cores on CPU too... keeps to under 2 GB's of RAM - AND the video card is only using 57% instead of the usual 99%...... And the graphics are dead, as is the game effectively. Tried changing the settings all over the place, rebooted it quite a few times. Rebooted Windows, even switched from Ganged to Unganged on the memory to rule that out..... Went into Left 4 Dead and Crysis - and both worked fine....so it isn't the Video card overheating (as the temperature on CCC is also a clear indicator there)...... 9.8 was working fine up until I changed the RAM.... HOw on earth would a RAM change cause this.... the game was fine until that.. but sounds exactly like what this OP has as well.. Graphics are toast......TOAST....out of nowhere... I'm sooooooo mad. 4870 HIS 1 GB is the card, 940 BE @3.6 with 8 GB's of RAM running at 800 5-5-5-18

Sorry if this was already answered, there were a ton of pages. 9.8 worked fine for me, but I didn't notice any improvement (didn't bench to be fair). I might hold off on this Beta until it is released... I'm not holding anyone to any firm dates, I work for a software company too and know the drill - I can't get dates out of my own team.... But roughly when do you see this being released to the public, and then Steam. Same day for both? And what is an average time cycle for a patch of this size? just curious....thanks guys. Had a CTD when it said I didn't have enough RAM 1066X 4 GB...lol. People were saying possible memory leak - but I'm not gonna think like that. Anyways, I grabbed 4 more gigs of 800 and spent last couple days ensuring stability (OCZ motley crew edition I'm calling it, 2 DIMMS of Fatality, 2 DIMMS of Blade)...So now I'm gonna go back and see how it performs with all 8 gigs in, with a slight slower clock on the RAM now. Still loving the game!

Cool... gonna check the wiki out now (perfect Friday thing)...do need help on Multi tutorial... week in, learning curve was steep - not overwhelming though for FPS fan....I do want to learn and participate in the coop tonight though!!!!

Definitely user error.... first post here....thanks for having me guys. Just bought this last week...LOVE it, very impressed. Phenom 940 BE @3.6 watercooled.. 4GB OCZ @1066 ATI HIS 1 GB 4870 running usually at 815 core 975 stable memory for this game No issues whatsoever after tweaking for a few days. In fact, I'll be posting some sick HD videos online. Resolution = 1900 by 1200, very high everything with 5000 visibility! BLAMMO Oh, except post process - which is low (wish more options to tweak there) Only 1 physical 4870 with 1 GB - and it runs butter smooth - even with FRAPS running on my quad.... I would Crossfire given the opportunity. I'll need to see how this plays out in multiplayer before I speak too much though. great game so far BI... keep up the dev........
