Problem solved? What? How? What was the cause?

Cheers, will test a bit more next weekend (phew, time, never have enough when you need it) ;)

Trying to figure out wether's it's a Win Vista / 7 issue - and if it's related to the campaign. Synopsis: Corruption in savegame - experienced this problem quite a few times in the campaign, most often in the dymanic capture the city scenarios. This may include Manhatten, Badlands, Dogs of War. Message; Error 'Bad file structure' at ''. ErrorMessage: Cannot load 'C:\Users\<myuser>\Documents\ArmA 2 Other Profiles\<mynick>\Saved\ca\missions\campaign\save3.ArmA2Save' It would be very nice to know if someone else got the issue - and which OS/Version (32/64) - or other relevant info some of you guys might have. Please see http://dev-heaven.net/issues/show/5266 for further details.

It's been all over the spectrum - but mainly I stick with "Default" settings while testing. High or Very High cause too mutch stutter in most scenarios anyway. Where default isnt available I've been using Normal/Low (shadows). I think my rendering-res was about 1700x1100 somewhere, true res is about 2500x1600.

I've been through most of the tweaks possible, unfortunately it hasnt helped. No commandline parameter gave any different results. NO change to the computer setup. (Not tried to *underclock* any components yet though). The PC itself is quite healthy - 6 months old and a new OS installed the past 2 months. - i7 940 @ Default Clock (never O/C'ed) w/6GB memory at Default timing. HT=Off. - GTX 295 @ Default Clock (never O/C'ed). Tested both 191.07 WHQL, 190.62 WHQL. (Note, havent tested earlier driver releases with ArmA II yet - it's on the "todo" list) - ArmA II 1.04 (Unmodded), Steam edition. - Windows 7 x64 RTM (Enterprise) (relatively fresh installation). I'm not really seeking a workaround to the issue (as of now), I rather seek to find the cause - hence I'm interested in finding what changes that *do* make a difference. ;) IMHO there's a trend here. Hence I've added votes and input the the following threads. http://dev-heaven.net/issues/show/5050 http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=106799
