Hi guys, my theme: Laptop "lagg" issues.. I'm testing arma 2, arma 2 oa and the demoes on a laptop right now. System specs: - Intel core i3 processor 330M 2.13 GHz, 3MB L3 cache; - Ati Mobility Radeon HD 5650, up to 2746MB hypermemory - 4GB ram I am not overclocking or anything. My problem right now is that no matter how much i turn the graphic settings up or down there allways is some kind of constant lag throughout the game. It's as if you're playing a video on a DVD player which every 2 seconds kinda slows down the video and then releases it at full speed again. Sounds strange I know, had the same issue on a different laptop and with a different game a couple of years ago. Any suggestions or smart advice?

hm.. I had a cpu and ram "speedometer" running during the game a couple of times and both never got more then 50% used. For the GPU i don't have any speedometer so it's hard to figure out if that's the cause I guess.. No other tricks I could try?

ok. I'll try that at least. but thanks so far!

huh? how can i fix it then? ^^

I'm using version 1.52. Now i was able to actually play for 5 minutes until the crash. Well I'll post the RPT in a few minutes. ---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 PM ---------- ===================================================================== == C:\Program Files (x86)\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead\arma2OA.exe == "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead\arma2OA.exe" ===================================================================== Exe timestamp: 2010/06/26 01:06:32 Current time: 2010/10/03 17:03:22 Item str_disp_server_control listed twice Updating base class ->RscText, by ca\ui\config.bin/RscSplashText/ Added texture headers from file "ca\air_e\texheaders.bin" Added texture headers from file "ca\animals_e\texheaders.bin" Added texture headers from file "ca\ca_e\texheaders.bin" Added texture headers from file "ca\characters_e\texheaders.bin" Added texture headers from file "ca\desert_e\texheaders.bin" Added texture headers from file "ca\l39\texheaders.bin" Added texture headers from file "ca\misc_e\texheaders.bin" Added texture headers from file "ca\missions_e\texheaders.bin" Added texture headers from file "ca\modules_e\texheaders.bin" Added texture headers from file "ca\plants_e\texheaders.bin" Added texture headers from file "ca\roads_e\texheaders.bin" Added texture headers from file "ca\rocks_e\texheaders.bin" Added texture headers from file "ca\signs_e\texheaders.bin" Added texture headers from file "ca\structures_e\texheaders.bin" Added texture headers from file "ca\takistan\data\texheaders.bin" Added texture headers from file "ca\takistan\data\layers\texheaders.bin" Added texture headers from file "ca\tracked_e\texheaders.bin" Added texture headers from file "ca\weapons_e\texheaders.bin" Added texture headers from file "ca\wheeled_e\texheaders.bin" Added texture headers from file "ca\zargabad\texheaders.bin" Checking texture headers done - ok = 5667, failed = 0, patched = 0.

yeah... Right now the game crashes each time i click continue in the campaign overview window; right before the actual game starts.

Yeah I'm sure, sadly enough, cause a windows window pops up stating that there has occured a problem and windows is searching for a solution, which it can't find and eventually wants me to close the program. It's damn sad cause the little I've tested of the game looks awesome and I really want to fix this bloody issue..

I have no program for monitoring temperature, you know one? Doesn't show in my task manager. It doesn't feel overheated when i touch the cover. No outstanding commands in the text that I can see. The game's running on patch 1.52, don't know if that has anything to say though. ---------- Post added at 12:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ---------- btw it also crashes in the menu, not only when playing. Only have to click on t he campaign button and it goes down sometimes..

funny thing is I cand find the appdata folder by going the c/user/, just doesn't appear in my list. I know it's there cause i can search for files in the folder and find them.. ---------- Post added at 12:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 PM ---------- well, now i've searched for the files and found them. How can i open/ check if anythings wrong?

No addons, no overclocking nothing. Dunno if I have errors in Client RPT, where can i check? System specs: Intel core i3 330M 2.13GHZ 3MB L3 Cache ati mobility radeon had 5650, up to 2746MB 4GB ram 500GB HD btw. i checked the topic crash to desktop and put those files in a rar but didn't help that either..

Hi guys Sorry for spamming the forum with my first post but I'm desperate, yeah I know.. My game crashes to desktop at random and I can't find a fix for the problem. I've searched the forum and also browsed through the issue tracker but all that gives me is a Headache.. My OS is windows 7 and the game runs fine except the random crashes.. Anybody here who could give me a quick hint or help?
