Cannot Create System Memory Surface

After Launching ArmA I start to play but when i try to load a mission, multiplayer i get this error :

( Sometimes i can play with the editor ).

Cannot Create System memory Surface DXT5, 2048 x 2048 ( size : 5592416 B)

- Error Code 8007000e

I keep ArmA at 1920 x 1200 (32)

E6700 Core 2 Duo !
Win Vista 32bit

HELP !

Try adding " -maxmem=768" without the quotes to your game shortcut. If that doesn't work then try setting maxmem to 512 and also 1024 until it works. That is the only way that I could find to fix this error. Either that or lower the quality of the graphics in the options menu. Hope this helps.

Ok ; but where exactly do i need to put that ??

[Kirby]

One you desktop right click the ArmA shortcut. Select properties then in the target box add that. AFTER the last quote mark.




So the target might look like:

"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interavtive\ArmA.EXE" -Maxmem=768

I'm getting that error now, too (on v1.08 US), although mine is 2048x1024 (size 2818048 B).

I've been running maxmem=512 since I got the error the first time on 1.06.

I CTD'd so I changed it to 768.
CTD, changed to 1024.
CTD, changed back to 512.

I didn't CTD but that could have been because I went to bed shortly thereafter.
