Ok Guys, I am impressed how you all react after something that the MR. DR. Computer started. As I said, i NEVER said my computer was the best of the world. And I don’t have any interest in comparing my computer with yours. The Mr. Dr. Computer, gave me an answer (the first answer of my question) with elevated degree og arrogance. And after that, he, and all of you, following his arrogance, started to crap my computer. The forum question I posted wasn’t about my computer. Anyways, I am finishing this post, as I have my problem solved, and YES, i get +- 50 FPS in very high grafics(For sure sometimes it falls to 20, 30 etc…). I have a gaming computer, and according to Mr. Dr. Computer, doesn’t macht the recomended requirements. If so, I don’t know why my lap top is in the TOP 10 best gaming laptops in many sites, as you can see here under. http://www.bizwaremagic.com/best_gaming_notebooks.htm http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/notebooks/0,39050495,39241882,00.htm http://computershopper.com/laptops/gaming-laptops/top-5-gaming-laptops (the first pc has the same processor as mine). This all to say, hell not, don’t tell me its a RAM problem. I bought the game, the patch solved my problem, and I very satisfied with this great game, that I will continue to play with my crap computer. Thank you all

Sure I do. The solution was very simple. The new patch released yesterday 1.54. No need to change my grafic card values. Everything in very high, and its working perfect now. Thank you BIS for the patch.

Please Help again: I have the original Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead (bought and downloaded from gamersgate): Purchase Order GamersGate AB Åsögatan 108 SE-118 29 Stockholm Sweden Order id: 3762311 Payment method: Credit cards Order date: Today Order status: Confirmed Now my problem is: When trying to install the patch (1.54) I got the error messqge that says that Arma 2 is not installed on your computer or instalation is corrupted). I googled for the fix, and they say that the problem is with the Reg file. The thing is: My reg entry exists, and it is correct, like you can see here under: Regedit - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Bohemia Interactive Studio\ArmA 2 OA Inside the reg entry there are 3 diferent entries: 1) (par defaut) (my computer is french) 2) Key 3) MAIN Inside the MAIN there is: TYPE REG_SZ F:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead And the game is correctly installed ( I installed and uninstalled 4 times) in this directory F:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead ps.: I tryed also doing the instalation in the program file (x86) folder, and I checked after the reg entry, and it was also correct patched (C:\program file (x86)\............. ANd I am always getting the same error: ARMA 2 is not installed in your computer or instalation is corrucpted. So, I am not able to install this patch. And this PATCH is a must have to fix a lot of issues ( without this patch its not possible to play the game properly). So, what I ask, please, give me a solution. Because if there is no solution, I would like to know if a refound is possible, because as a client, I am not satisfied with this product.

GLT Myke, you are as ridiculus as your post..... "your cpu pqsses "minimal requiremenets, surely doesn't hit recomended??? 1) Recommended System Requirements * Windows XP / Vista * Quad-Core CPU (4 CPUS) * 1 GB Ram * Graphics card with 512 MB-VRam and Shader Model 3.0 support ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Are you blind? You know what? Go write in other posts, I got my problem solved and with my poor processor, I am playing Arma 2 with very hight settings and getting +50 FPS. Thanks.

Bota 49, first of all, thank you for the way you answer. Let me just say, that in any moment I said my pc was the best of the world, or better than this or that ( For sure there are computers better than mine). The expression 20 times better doesen't mean literally 20 times.... This was my way to express my feelings after trying to solve the problem for almost 24 hours after buying something that should work normal. But never mind. Here we go: Nvidea Last update done, Arma 2 operation Arrowhead bought and downloaded from gamersgate.com. The CTD is after the helicopter landing in the very first mission (when I have to get out of the chopper). Windows is up to dqte and HD defragged. And yes, I turned hiperthreading off (got slower FPS), and also PhisyX disable. Thank you again.

RECOMENDED RAM: 1 GB ...... What? I have 6 GB RAM DDR3 RECOMENDED graphic card 512 MB SHader Model 3.0 ..... WHat? I have: Display Memory: 3796 MB DDR5 Dedicated Memory: 985 MB Shared Memory: 2810 MB Shader Model: 4.1 NVIDIA GeForce GTS 360M The Nvidia GeForce GTS 360M is a high performance laptop graphics card and based on the GT215 core. Compared to the older GTS 260M, the GTS 360 features only a higher clock speed. The GT215 core supports DirectX 10.1 and OpenGL 2.1. It features 96 shader cores as the 9800M GT, but the memory bus is only 128 bit wide. To compensate this, the GTS 360M supports GDDR5. Therefore, the performance is significantly lower when cheap DDR3 memory is used. As the GeForce 9800M GT, the laptop graphics card GTS 360M features 96 stream processors that do the work of the former dedicated Pixel- and vertex-shaders. The unified shaders of Nvidia are 1-dimensional (AMD has 5-dimensional shaders which leads to the higher number of shaders). The shaders of the used GT215 core are based on the GTX 200 desktop architecture and therefore a bit improved compaired to the G92 based cards (e.g. 9800M GT).

But 9800 is even better than 8800 GT.... and my GTS 360 M is even better than 9800 GT ..... All of this to say what: I am not here to discuss with you (computer master Dr...... are you?) I am here to ask help for the company wich I bought an original game, and it is not working. As a client, I have the right to ask for answers..... About: SPEAK FOR YOUR SELF..... Have a look at the TOPIC Game crashing to desktop or freezeing or BSOD + 15.000 views.... I am not speaking for my self Mr Dr. THank you answays for you answer, and if you want to find something or someone to borrow, go to ICQ, or mIRC, or what ever....

Please, dont't tell me it is a RAM problem all those CTD. Today I got more tham 20 CTDs. I just bought a brand new computer: Processor: Intel® Core i7 CPU Q 720 @ 1.60GHz (8 CPUs), ~1.6GHz Operating System: Windows***7 Édition Familiale Premium 64-bit Memory: 6144MB RAM Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTS 360M DirectX Version: DirectX 11 (vers. 06/2010). The thing is: My computer is more tham 20 times above the RECOMENDED from you, i said RECOMENDED and not minimun required. For God sake, you must have a solution for this CTD problem. I congrat you guys from Bohemia, to have done this incredible game, but what is the point if we can not play it? Please help me, us, the world. What is the solution for the CTD problem? I have the last update of EVERYTHING installed, game, grafic cards, windows, etc... and the game continue to CTD. Please help. ps. Sorry for my english
