I know this is an old thread, but even now the problem with textures flickering and shadows turning and on and off still hasn't been fixed in Arma 2 & Operation Arrowhead, as well as other games like NFS Undercover and Shift 2. I have a GTX 770 4gb and the texture flickering is horrendous and I also get the annoying shadow problems. It definitely can't be a hardware fault or every game would be the same, but most games appear to be alright or the effect is no where near as bad. To make sure it's not a hardware fault, I also installed Arma 2 on my Dad's computer which has a GTX 560Ti and used the latest Nvidia drivers 337.81 and tried the village sweep mission and I get exactly the same problem at the start of the mission with awful texture flickering and disappearing shadows in exactly the same place, so that's more than enough proof that it's either bugs in the game or the Nvidia drivers are getting worse. It appears of late that they are trading performance for visual quality. :( Next I'll try the oldest Nvidia drivers available for Windows 8.1 and see if they work any better.

I installed the latest beta patch and I'm still getting the flickering shadow bug. When I pan around or move forward and backward, shadows flicker on and off. I've noticed this problem since Arma 2 1.11. The problem is exactly the same as the video I found in this link below. The only fix is to completely turn off shadows, which obviously makes the graphics look worse, so it's not an ideal solution. Shadows flicker. http://dev.withsix.com/issues/15583

I installed the latest beta patch ARMA 2 AO 112555 and I'm still getting the flickering shadow bug. When I pan around or move forward and backward, shadows flicker on and off. I've noticed this problem since Arma 2 1.11. The only fix is to completely turn off shadows, which obviously makes the graphics look worse, so it's not an ideal solution, but at least it works. I've tried every tweak I can find to no avail. In Arma 2 1.11, running at 60FPS, it still happens, so it has to be a bug that has still not been fixed.
