Good day people.
I to have had crashes in singleplayer. All tutorials went just fine, but when i started the campaign, i found out the game crashes.
The game lasts about exactly 5 minutes before it crashed to desktop.
That brought me to these forums, using google searches.
My system specs:
Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit
4 GB GEIL DDR2 RAM
Gigabyte mobo
AMD 5600+ X2 (@3Ghz)
Nvidia GeForce 8800GT Alpha Dog Edition 1024 MB GDDR3
Latest patch 1.52 Arma AO
I installed the loopfix.exe also found on this forum someone posted being his solution.
Game still crashed.
What i found on this forum: 197.5 WHQL Nvidia Display Drivers.
Uninstalled my old drivers, rebooted.
I installed these drivers, and the game kept crashing. Takes 5 minutes, then windows starts looking for a solution… stops, and goes back to desktop.
The rpt file had access_violation, unknown module messages.
So my search went on…
I disabled PhysX in the Nvidia control panel. Guess what… game still crashed.
Now i edited my shortcut on the desktop.
Compatibility mode set to Windows XP SP3 for all users.
Run this application as administrator for all users.
Saved this setting.
Went into the game and fiddled with the Video settings. I put some options on high, instead of very high.
postprocess effects -disabled
anti aliasing - normal
anisotropic filtering - normal
Went to play again, the GFX look much better and more realistic now, at first it was all foggy and without much color… Now its sharp, and i see red dots on enemies, instead of grey.
Got off the chopper, and could actually make it to the village next to the LZ… without a crash, which took me about 20/25 minutes.
I hope this helps for some of the people here experiencing these crashes...
