I am running a ATI Radeon HD4850 with 512MB of GDDR3. According to everything I can find on here I ought to be using "high" video memory setting, but I only get options for "low" and "normal"... the same for texture detail.

I have tried several old video drivers 10.9 onwards and 11.0, 11.1 and 11.2 all to no avail.

Any ideas?

I guess hardware detection went wrong. Delete the .cfg in the arma2 folder in MyFiles and try again.

He's done that, with no improvement.

Use default and the game will use all video memory on your card

Use default and the game will use all video memory on your card"Default" will screw up the game in less than 2 minutes with artifacts all over the screen with ATI chips.

I've been using default since arma2 came out with ATI 5870 VaporX and no problems at all :j:

I have tried pressing the "default" button and I am still getting slow loading textures.
