Hi.
Like the thread suggest i'm having graphical issues with Arma 2. I would like to clarify that i've had no problems in the past either in Arma or Arma 2 prior to the release of patch 1.05 /ACE 2. Nothing in my hardware has changed since then.
My system specs are are follows :
Intel Core 2 Extreme CPU X9650 @ 3.00 GHZ [themal-electrically cooled]
Windows XP SP3
4 GB RAM (OCZ)
GeForce 8800 GTX 768 MB, [Water cooled]
video BIOS 60.80.0e.00.08,
ForceWare version 169.21 [using omega drivers]
DirectX 9.0c
Monitor HP w2408 native @ 1920 by 1200/32
I have tried the GeForce/ ION 196 v196.21
and multiple other nVidia drivers with no success.
While in game here are some of the worst issues :
1, the resolution is very poor and the image blurry even with post process disabled and all video tabs set to low.
2, multiple time i get stuck in "receiving..." black screen with no control but ability to type text messages and i end up forced to
Crtl Alt Del to shut down if i'm not simply completely frozen and need to reboot.
3, no matter which settings adjustments i make in the video options in game it does not improve the situation.
4, in towns and in forrest i get white distortions and loss of image often.
I've looked high and low and while a few others might have some of the issues i have none of the solutions they offered seem to fix the problem. Also according to all monitors CPU/GPU/Memory etc my system does not appear to be max out when this problem occurs.
When i select default on the video settings ArmA 2 chooses the following
Texture Detail : Normal
Video Memory : Normal
Anistropic Filter : Low
Antialiasing : Low
Terrain Detail : Normal
Object Details : Normal
Sahdow Details : High
Post Effect : High
Aspect Ratio : 16:10 Wide
Visibility : 1600
Quality Preferance : High
I'm used to playing with all settings on High or Very High with no issues before. If this issue was fixed by someone's answer and i missed it somewhere else in the forum i apologize.
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks
