    I'm running a Sager/Clevo NP9170 with an Intel i7-3720qm (with HD4000 graphics), AMD 7970m, 8gb of RAM and Windows 8.1. Win8 has been the source of a number of compatibility troubles for people I know, but never for me. It typically requires slightly different drivers from Win7, and I've been considering moving back to 7 for a number of reasons, not the least of which is unstable performance in games like BF4 and ARMA 3.

    Not sure when I'll get around to downgrading, but maybe we should put this thread on hold until then. It's the only thing I can think of trying.

    Horus: I've run it from Steam, PWS, and directly by the .exe, all give the same error.

    IT07: Mine should be default, since I haven't gone in to change settings. I did adjust my resolution when I launched it on my integrated card, but that's it.

    Mirek: I don't think you're having the same problem, this is specific to laptops with switchable graphics, and it completely prevents me from playing. Check your .rpt file for "igdumdim32.dll".

    I think the problem is that the game always loads under the assumption that I'm using my first (integrated) graphics card. It's probably an issue to take up with Bohemia support, but I wanted to know if anyone had solved it.

    EDIT: Horus, I just realized my RPT contains two completely different errors, one when I start it through steam, and another when I start it through PWS. I'll look into this.

    Update: The top error (Error during SetFace) happens because I hadn't validated files. Ignore that section. Only the segfault occurs regularly.

    If this is happening with other 7970's then you might have found a bug in ArmA 2. But seriously, why run ArmA 2 OA which such a gpu? Why not ArmA 3? It is so much more fun and immersive than ArmA 2...

    Well, admittedly, I'm trying to get it to work so I can install DayZ. I own A3 already, but that's a whole different world, ya know?

    Hello, Bohemians, I've got a rather strange issue with just A2:OA.

    While A2 alone launches just fine, A2:OA shows a black screen and then crashes immediately ("ARMA 2 OA has stopped working"). Since the .RPT tells me it has to do with igdumdim32.dll (an Intel graphics driver), I tried forcing it to run on my integrated card, which worked. Switchable graphics has historically given me a lot of trouble, so this comes as no surprise. The problem is, OA runs at about 1 fps on my Intel card, so I really need to get it running on the dedicated 7970m. Here is a copy of my .RPT file:

    Any help is appreciated. There are now 4 threads going back several months with this exact issue (some with the same 7970m as mine) that have no resolution (and no responses). It seems to have cropped up relatively recently, but it's not clear why.
