Solution / Fix I had the same problem with the flikering menu. Looks like lightning. This seems to be caused by Vsync when in SLI or X-fire. 1. Use CCC or Nvidia to force off Vsync. or 2. Disable Cat AI - using CCC Not sure about this setting under nvidia but it should work with ATI cards. This will force the game to run on a single GPU core. Sounds like a performance hit but it actually improves performance. I recommend using the Vsync off solution as this will alow for multiple GPU cores and stops the flickering. Hope this helps

LOL i didnt get the recieving screen of "thanks for your money sucker" untill patch 1.03 was installed. If anything this patch has created more bugs then it has addressed - well on my rig anyway. Finally fixed the CTD's after days of testing and now this. Im going to take a crap in one hand and wish in the other. See wich one comes first. ---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ---------- Im beginning to wonder if some of these bugs may be related to steam software. Can anyone without a steam version confirm this is happening to them. Its not Nvidia or ATI. or any hardcore rig config. Imagine Arma 2 is an aeroplane and ATI was the passenger. If arma 2 crashed and killed ATI. Would you blame the aeroplane for bad performance or blame the passenger for being to fat ?? ---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 PM ---------- Ok i found a temp fix to the recieving screen. Might not work for everyone but its worth a shot. Try deleting your Arma2.cfg under user documents\Arma 2 Run the game and set video memory to normal or high. Works for me so far. Ive tested for 2 hours without the screen. Hope this helps.

After hours and hours and days and days of testing and re configuring ive managed to stop 90% of my performance issues. First i tested Win 7 64. Average 25 to max 75 fps Vista 64 service pack 2 Average 30 to max 75 fps XP 32 service pack 3 Average 60 to max 311 fps I was unable force of vsync with win 7 and vista using ATT. But under XP i can disable vsync with CCC without any problems. XP by far offered me the best performance. I was experiencing random CTD's and bad performance intil i installed sp3. My specs; AMD X4 940, 3.6GHz OC, GA MA790FX UD5P, 4Gb DDR2 800, HIS HD 4870 X2 with 8.9 cats, OS: XP 32 SP3 My settings; Everything set to very high. Post processing disabled - causes to much blur for my liking. Disabled AA. Doesnt seem to add much visually but steals huge fps. Both resolutions set to 1280, 1024. On these settings i get an average 50 - 80 fps and up to 311 if i look at the sky. I think its linked to OS. Especially 64 bit OS. Install the latest service pack and try running the Direct X.exe in the arma 2 game directory. I had all the probs listed but now im running smooth as.
