Thank you for answering. I know that ArmA 2 uses a different Rendering Pipeline but I didn't know this "-winxp" string can resolve one of the most discussed and annoying problem in the world! XD Now that I'm thinking on this error, a lot of games requires strings like this: Gmod for the console and the applaunch (steam), Prototype for the language (yes, I was adding the lang string to the shortcut, but then I discovered the key in the registry and modified it! XD)... But I'm sure a thing: I can play ArmA 2 now and I love the graphics and the gameplay. Thank you all so much!!! :) ---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ---------- What a mess.. emh.. cioé che strana cosa trovare un italiano qui, tutti visitano il forum Bohemia e trovare un italiano tra tutti gli utenti è come cercare un ago in un pagliaglio! xD ^ This was the italian shit, sorry ^

Is the engine's fault. It doesn't support 64-bit systems, so more than 4 Gb of RAM. Or maybe it just tries to support them but there are these strange errors and bugs. Let me help you: Add the "-winxp" string to the shortcut then ArmA 2 will run perfectly 100%, I was having this error too. I fixed it just 6 hours ago following the "datter" user's suggestion. Of course, now it uses only 4 Gb of RAM, but it's working fine. Maybe if it was using 8 Gb of RAM the FPS would arrive to 50-60, but I'm playing it at 35-40 FPS and I love the graphics. The human eye can perceive 18 FPS, the rest is just "precautionary" ... ;) PS These are your screenshots? Are you italian? No, I'm asking cuz I'm italian and I saw the words like "Cosa?" that's "What?"... xD

It worked! But why? I mean, why the game doesn't make the shortcut adding "-winxp" automatically? If you're on XP the "-winxp" will not change anything, if you're on Vista/7 it will let you play fine! Thanks anyway! This game's great, I putted all to Very High on 1400x900 @75 Hz, it rocks! :) The only thing missing is the AntiAliasing :( ... That's what I did: Installing last Nvidia drivers, Installing the Nvidia SLI update (xml) and adding "-winxp" to the shortcut launch parameters... What does that mean? The game uses 4 Gb of RAM and not all 8 Gb? I hope it supports SLI, then! XD

SOLVED I'm having this error too! Dammit, these are my config specs: SO: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (Build 7600) Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 2,8 GHz VGA: Nvidia GeForce 9800 GX2 1 GB (SLI) RAM: 8 GB (4x2Gb, Kingmax @800 MHz) Motherboard: Asus P5K-SE @1333 bus What is the problem? I have the original game, so I'm going to tell you the high requirments: CPU: Quad Core 2,8 GHz (ok) RAM: 2 Gb (ok) Video: Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT SM3 512 MB (ok) OS: XP or Vista (I don't think the problem could be Windows 7) Maybe the problem is that I have 64-bit Windows 7 edition? I dunno, I tried all the game settings, low settings too. No way, the strange no-texture buildings, ugly character models and all the rest have ugly textures. My video-card is fast enough, but that's not the problem: in this thread there are users with GTX 2xx in SLI, so I REALLY DON'T THINK THE PROBLEM IS THE VGA. Maybe the problem is the engine... I'm gonna buying Operation Flashpoint 2, the graphics are not so good as ArmA 2 but it works 100%... ---------- Post added at 09:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 AM ---------- My cousin has an ATI HD 4870 GDDR5 2 GB and he's having this error too! So I don't think is "Nvidia" or "ATI" or other vga manufacturer the problem here! :(
