I have an ATI 4870 1GB and am having the same problems so I don't think contacting nvidia is the answer :) It is something arma 2 developers need to sort out!

:eek: slap my bum and call me sally. Its working!! Right, now I'll pop the original drivers I had loaded on so we can confirm it was the 8GB causing the issue! Why would 8GB work fine with an Nvidia 8800GTS 640MB on exactly the same system? :S Thank you so much :D

Trying as you suggested with 4GB RAM. I've also loaded the drivers which came with the CD, so older than the ones I had installed initially. Lets see! Thanks for taking the time to help me :) Much appreciated :)

how do you do a screenshot whilst playing the game? Tried the screenshot button and it did nothing! ---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 PM ---------- Spec is - Intel 6600 2.4 Core 2 Duo 8GB 800MHz RAM 64bit Windows 7 ATI Radeon 4870 1GB Asus P5Q Pro mobo

Thanks :) I will give it a try and report back!

The issues are constant, they don't come and go like most other people seem to report. I've brought the card into work today and put it on an XP 32bit system and the game works fine. So I guess it must be an issue with Windows 7 drivers for the graphics card. I will try and find some earlier drivers like you suggested but its very frustrating! I have the latest from the ATI website at the moment. Where is the beta patch? I looked on the arma website last night and couldn't find anything newer than 1.03? http://www.arma2.com/support/updates/folder.html?lang=en When I get home I'll have to dig up my old drive with Win XP installed and give it a whirl on that. Least now I know I don't have a faulty graphics card I guess!

Just 'upgraded' from my Nvidia 8800 GTS 640MB to an ATI 4870 1GB - immediately got the same issue as you guys. Chuck my Nvidia back in, works fine. Pisses me right off. They should have fixed this by now. The 4870 is a really popular card so I felt by buying that I would be safe from having too many issues. The first game I play and I have issues! Not happy.
