Exactly what I experienced....sometimes I woder if everyone play the same arma2 as I do 0.o

It may not help you, but if you have ArmA II be sure you didn't use the arma 2 cdkey for arrowhead and vice versa.

Most retailers here do not refund you when box is opened. Pisses me off :S

I had some similar problems with an HD5870 but as I said in another thread, try using the default graphical settings without messing too much with the advanced ones. It did the trick for me. Example: manually putting everything to very high made textures look really bad, but once I chose Very High on the default Graphic quality everything was fine!

Try using the default settings and not play with the advanced ones too much. It did the trick for me. just choose high or very high and see what fits best! -Goodluck!

It would be nice to update this sticky and add: If you tried all the above, try installing the patch in debug mode.

Oh I see thank you anyway for the idea!! (I didn't have any ideas anymore lol) so I try this one and I'll be back with a result in some minutes xD ---------- Post added at 06:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ---------- I know we cannot write with all capitals letters....but I'm sure the mods would make an exeption in this case....YOU SIR ARE A GENIUS!!!!!!!! haha such a simple thing just MADE MY ****** DAY :D Hahaha thanks alot :P it looks like some windows 7 64bits process gives some trouble with patching arma2oa...but now I am logged on a 1.57 server and all this trouble is an old story :P Thanks alot ProfTournesol (Do you speak french? Looking at your nickname I'd say you do. My main language is french aswell ^^ )

well I see Arma2.exe and Arma2OA.exe .....I can't change Arma2OA.exe to Arma2oa without the .exe extension since it becomes a non-executable file :S ....I probably didn't understand completly?

Wait, are you telling me that boothing the computer in debug mod might do the trick? Omfg I never tought about that and even if it doesn't work thanks alot! (At last I would have had a couple of minutes of hope haha) PS: If someone did read the thread and didn't post because he doesn't have a clue either it's ok lol but I'm sure you understood what I meant :P

It should. But it doesn't work at all for me :S

Thank you snots! At least on 300+ persons you didn't simply read and quit. You shared your toughts and it's apreciated :)

I just sent a ticket to dev heaven....Yes I bought it otherwise I would have asked for a crack since the original exe would be useless.

yes thank you for the precious help NoQuarter! If I ever get this to work, I'd be happu to play some games with you haha!

How did you even patch it to 1.57....after 3 days spending ALOT of time to try and install patch 1.57 I can't. I always get a Arma2oa.exe error......I got no solution from the thread I started either :S

could someone send me their arma2oa.exe and arma2server.exe? I can't patch the game up to 1.57 because I get an error related to these two exe....I must have installed and unistalled combined operations like 30 times now....i'm desperated and gotta try this :S
