Arma 2 Community Issue Tracker

[Skeptic]

!!!PLEASE DO NOT SPAM BUG TRACKER WITH NEW TICKETS!!! Use search - most likely your issue has been already reported.

BIS developers read this forum, they can't simply respond to each thread. While it is frustrating to wait for solution to your problem, please be patient. Thank you.

OK folks, some info so that you better understand how to use this tool.
1. First of all please search tracker for issues already reported before posting a new one.
2. This is not user to user troubleshooting - so please use forums for that.
3. It is expected to report information in structured form (http://dev-heaven.net/wiki/cis). "Hit and run" won't cut it.
4. You might be assigned a task to follow up with the issue you have reported. It doesn't mean that BIS will ship you C .Net source code to troubleshoot it but you may have to do some testing or provide more info/research. If you don't want this responsibility, then I advice not to post there.

[/URL][url=http://dev-heaven.net/wiki/cis]ArmA 2 Community Issue Tracker (http://dev-heaven.net/wiki/cis)

Edit: This tool has been around for a while and I'm not affiliated with this project. It is extensively used by BIS & modification developers. When I learned about it I liked the idea instantly. Suma, who is Lead BIS developer is frequenting that site and he gets tasks assigned to look at.

[EricM]

this should be stickied

[dubtwist]

yeah couldn't agree more - sticky this one!

[W0lle]

So be it. :)

[Skeptic]

Thank you sir! I can't imagine BIS be able to plow through all whining (including mine - guilty) on the forums. Dev-heaven seems to be very well suited for this.

[pclipse]

Beautiful Sticky. I'm glad you guys are doing What's important ;)

Like that loss of frames in Villages is a true killer for me too!

[monty67t]

I've got a couple of bugs/problems to report.

1) When using NVGs on the deck of the LHD there is some small light that blinds you, as if you are looking directly into a spot light.

2) When using NVGs in the cockpit of some aircraft, the lights from the MFDs make everything around them very dark. Which basically forces you to fly in 3rd person.

3) When using the first aid modules, after becoming wounded, then dying, when I respawn I am stuck with the same vision I had when I was wounded. Even though I just respawned with a shiny new character, the screen is red and all blurred out as if I was wounded. Not only that, but it made me invulnerable! This happened to everyone on different missions.

Thanks,
Monty

[PuFu]

monty, please post them in the tracker rather than this thread

[monty67t]

monty, please post them in the tracker rather than this thread

I guess I was either having techincal or mental problems the first time I tried to add them to the tracker. That's why I posted the issues here. It seems I have it worked out now.

Thanks,
Monty

[Fresh![NUTZ]]

Sorry, I can't figure out how the 'tracker' works...I must be having the same mental problems Monty was having. So I'll just mention my bug here, figuring someone will see it. Tonight while playing multiplayer I was in a supermarket in Berezino...big glass windows. I was inside the market firing out towards some AI but wasn't able to kill them until they went prone. Each shot produced the sound of glass breaking but didn't seem to continue to the target (unless prone). As well, it should be reported that once the glass is broken, I should be able to run out of the broken window, something that also can't be done. My apologies if posted in the wrong place.

Hi Ohara

Maybe it is a good idea to show up in the bug tracker too?
People would love to see how their input is considered.

:torture:Hi, some of the ladders in the building don't let you reach the top and actually break your leg or worse, kill you when you almost reach the top. I'm working on a mission that involves this building, it's at location: 114078 on Chernarus. The parking lot -like building and the very top ladder to the roof is the one I'm referring to but the others may be bad as well. I believe the id number for this building is: 276417(house).

Also, please fix the serious injury from small falls as I used to be a roofer and we used to push new guys off at three times that height :p

Edit- Also the walls that are in the stairwell of this building don't seem to provide proper viewblock as soldiers are routinely aiming 'thru' the wall and incoming gunfire is too accurate. I've even had rpg soldiers fire right at the wall with obvious consequence.

[DFA_Graywo1f]

the tracker will NOT load for me and i wanted to say that the leaf sight on the M4's and M16' acog varients the M203 sight is stuck UP! bug? this was like that in ArmA 1 after a few patches it was broken and now its always up. i'll keep trying the tracker. tried 3 times so far but i'll try more.

Same here, the tracker will not load.

reported a very big issue here http://dev-heaven.net/issues/show/2354

[F2k Sel]

Game freezing after 10-20 minutes of gameplay.
It just freeze with the sound still going... when it happen this, i have to reboot my pc.

in my Local Settings\Application Data\ArmA 2\ there is ONLY one file:
ARMA2.rpt

no others files...

here it is: http://www.filedropper.com/arma2


here a topic on this problem: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?p=1328682#post1328682

I think the reason you won't see the other two files is that your PC froze and carn't write them.

At first my PC only has CTDs and the files were there now I only get freezes and the files are dated 5 days ago which was the last time I had a CTD.


If I remove the files and it freezes no files apart from ARMA2.rpt are produced.

This will make it difficult to identify the problem so we may have a long wait.

I also wonder if we could have an option to disable writing the log as that could impact performance.

I've also noticed that a lot of people with the freeze or CTD problem are using 8800 series cards. There are a few ATI users as well though.

Was getting "Receiving" and a black screen during MP...so couldnt play it. MP seems to be okay now after i fiddled randomly with some graphics settings...

But, now SP is all messed up. Big graphical glitches that take up the whole screen, sometimes the screen going white etc and sometimes it goes Receiving then goes to a load screen that says "Receiving Mission Status" or something like that. I see theres lots of threads with people reporting these or similar problems yet no fix...help please! Its extremely frustrating to finally get this game and not be able to play it!!!

I had this happen once while testing a mission on my own LAN. Screen went black with the "Recieving..." message, but the game was still being played by the AI (game sounds could be heard). I had to ALT+TAB out and close down ArmA 2.

Then, when I restarted ArmA 2... and reloaded the LAN ... it automatically loaded and restarted the same mission, from the same point just before I blacked out and continued on as if I never ALT+TAB'd and End-Tasked ArmA 2. Some of the models in game had rainbow textures on them and the ground glowed lava red.

Saving campaign when My Documents are not local takes too long

If you have My Documents targeted to a NAS (or I guess another PC/Server) it takes 3-4 minutes to save a game.

STR
* Go to desktop
* Right click My Documents -> Properties -> Set target to NAS e.g. \\MyNAS\MyUser\
NB! Note that this will move your folder to the NAS, take a backup first to make sure you don't click wrong and wipe everything in My Documents!
* Start up Arma2 and enter campaign (a saved game like Manhattan f.ex.)
* Save game

Result seen:
For me it takes pretty consistently 3 minutes ~30 seconds to save

Desired result:
Should take the same time as saving it locally

Hardware:
Q9550 @<hidden> 2.83Ghz, 4 GB RAM, 2 x 4890, GE network card (integrated), WinXP Pro (english), NAS is a TS-209 with GE LAN port connected to ZyXEL GS-105 (GE unmanaged switch). Coping the savegame from NAS to PC takes approx 3 secs.

I might be off here, but I think the purpose of this thread is to inform of the bug-tracker where you can submit bug-reports that BIS reviews. There are nice tutorials there and information on how to submit a bug-report as well as in the OP.

This thread isn't a bug-reporting thread AFAIK.

Hi all, I can't install the new patch no matter what I try i.e (download from different places and using 7 zip and win zip) my computer just reports the zip file or the extracted exe as corrupt

I had terrible problems trying to install the game in the first place my blue ray player kept reporting cnc error, I had to install it on my old "coal fired" Pc and port it over via my network, but wow great game guys runs like a dream!

Any ideas on making the patch work?

Couldn't figure out a way to post on tracker either. So many bugs on this mission. I'm on the single scenario where a russian. You have support units at a castle. I can't get the support units to follow me (clue was you hear strange radio chatter coming from the castle.). No command to make them come. I am also supposed to get support from locals on an island. I go to island. They don't give me support although they can tell me what the weather is like. :)

But even without those support bugs the worst one is the medic. I am injured. I hire a medic. I go to status / injured. I click on medic. I scroll down to see if there is a way to heal from him. Nope. I crawl to him. Try again. Tell him to stand still. Try again. Nope. I highlight myself to see if there is a way. Nope. I go to strategic command level. Select my unit. Say I need assistance. Nope.

Now my medic gets injured. I can get him to heal himself. This game has great potential but not being able to heal at the medic is annoying!

But it's worse. Maybe this is not a bug. I only get one save. The game seems to save randomly with no rhyme or reason. I play for like 2 hours and get one auto save. Sooo annoying! Any help would be great!

So...i fixed the problem myself!
I dont know why Bis cannot say something!

How i solved my problem:
I have 896MB graphic memory, but it always adressed it new to 1792MB!
I had to write the ArmA2.cfg myself and set in on "write protection", so ArmA2 dont rewrite it again!

Then Securom made a lot of trouble...so i have to use a ArmA2 nocd exe...now i have no troubles at all anymore!

Maybe it works for other the same good!

Hi,

I recently upgraded ArmA2 from 1.02 to 1.03. When loading a saved campaign the game starts loading but after a few seconds the game crashes to the desktop.

Here the file(s) as requested: http://www.widow.nl/ArmA2_error.rar

I hope this can help/leads to a solution, don't want to start all over with this campaign :-(

Aditional info:

Windows XP Pro SP2
Intel Core 2 Duo processor
Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX
- Before 1.03 the game didn't crash

[Vacquero]

Since patching to 1.03 I'm not receiving new objectives during the campaign. Which makes the campaign unplayable basically.

- SmokeLauncher of the AAVP doesn't work!!!
- Theres a problem when you want to select a team in first person mode. For excample if you want to select the red team in command view, it works fine. In first person(the normal view) it works only if you select it in the quick command menu. When you want to select the team with 9 - 9 - 1 the menu stays there and you are not able to give any commands!

There's a problem when you want to select a team in first person mode. For example if you want to select the red team in command view, it works fine. In first person(the normal view) it works only if you select it in the quick command menu. When you want to select the team with 9 - 9 - 1 the menu stays there and you are not able to give any commands!

I'm not sure if that's meant to work, though it would be nice I guess.

In first-person mode, hold shift and press the F-key associated with one of the team members and it'll select the entire team.

[LennieSmith]

I never had a CTD before 1.03, now I've had several within the day. Looks like the game is basically unplayable as I can't finish a campaign before another CTD, then I can't reload any saves without another CTD.... Never had any problems with 1.02, so BIS please fix your patch, it's taking away all the fun :(

Thank you, It works.(but only for other teams than team white)

But with patch 1.03 theres a new problem with the command menu.
After you gave a command in command view, for excample regroup (1-1), the command window does not vanish, like it normally does. We need an unique behaviour of the command menu!

(By the way, may I ask if the developers really read all the suggestions?)

[[Ice]]

Come on BIS. what is Going on???? Please, at least acknowledge there is a problem!

I have a Rage II extreme Motherboard running an I7 cpu and 2 x GTX 285's

It doesnt matter whether im in XP Pro or Win7 Arma now with 1.03 randomly crashes. Its either just a shut down to desktop with no explanation, a complete lockon like nvidi/ArmaI, image stuttering to a halt and locking up, triangulations and freezing or "Arma has stopped working" I cant join the chernaris life 0.19 mission for more than 5
minutes without it crashing.

I spent alot of money to get the best hardware just to get the most out of ArmA 2 but now I get nothing out of it other than frustration!

All I am asking is for some "support" here. An acknowledgement there is a problem or some communication to see if I'm doing something wrong, although I doubt it. I'm a professional I.T technician and am excelent in fault finding. Ive tried every suggested tweak in every combination. SLI on/off Physx on/off. Every driver I can find, Windowed, maxmem, you name it.

PLEASE RESPOND NOW!

hi,

Here's a new issue with the patch 1.03. The artillery module has now an issue, when you use the action "target artillery" an error box with press "continue" appear

I get a CTD every 10-20 minutes in the campaign and when i try to save i CTD, my desktop picture goes black and it says 'cannot commit'
Whoever tested the campaign with 1.03 and said it was ok for release should be shot...

Please before you release 1.04 try to fix ALL of the issues here, not just fix the linux files. I love the campaign but every time it crashes i feel massively let down.

I registered for it this morning and it worked fine, got the email and activated my account.

I've already posted 4 bugs but I'm not entirely sure how to use it... it asks for a user to assign task too... how are we supposed to know who to do that for?????

So I just chose some random names ;)

;1405188']Come on BIS. what is Going on???? Please, at least acknowledge there is a problem!

I have a Rage II extreme Motherboard running an I7 cpu and 2 x GTX 285's

It doesnt matter whether im in XP Pro or Win7 Arma now with 1.03 randomly crashes. Its either just a shut down to desktop with no explanation, a complete lockon like nvidi/ArmaI, image stuttering to a halt and locking up, triangulations and freezing or "Arma has stopped working" I cant join the chernaris life 0.19 mission for more than 5
minutes without it crashing.

I spent alot of money to get the best hardware just to get the most out of ArmA 2 but now I get nothing out of it other than frustration!

All I am asking is for some "support" here. An acknowledgement there is a problem or some communication to see if I'm doing something wrong, although I doubt it. I'm a professional I.T technician and am excelent in fault finding. Ive tried every suggested tweak in every combination. SLI on/off Physx on/off. Every driver I can find, Windowed, maxmem, you name it.

PLEASE RESPOND NOW!

I need help ! same problem...

[SASrecon]

I need help ! same problem...
same problem, mainly in coastal cities like chernogorsk and elektrozavodsk, but i also get random CTDs now aswell, which weren't in 1.02

One of the members of my group is having trouble with crash error report send to microsoft :
AppName: arma2.exe AppVer.1.3.0.58627 ModName:arma2.exe

ModVer:1.3.0.58627 Offset: 003eb9fb

When he first installed the game it ran fine. We played for a week or so and he started getting these crashes. He decided to uninstall the game then reinstall. Now when he starts the game when he gets to the main menu and clicks options crash with the above error report.
Whats up?
Two other of my group have been getting crashes but not often.

[aaajimcowboy]

Well seems my buddy uninstalled the game, then added the 1.2 patch and the game works fine. When he adds the 1.3 patch it crashes at main menu.
He has DL the 1.3 patch from 2 different sites with the same result. Anyone have an idea why.
He is running Q6600- 790i mobo- 4 gig RAM-raid stripe-8800gt sli- soundblaster fatality SC- windows XP pro.

-cpuCount is for limiting number of cores. You have four so it won't do anything for you. Also with cpuCount switch you need to also set affinity accordingly. Read here (http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_Startup_Parameters).

You can't find the files because you need to switch on hidden files and folders in the view menu first.

I got this crash in "Badlands" mission. I was in stary sobor and I could select my units in high command but I couldn't move 'em and the game crashed. When I have this problem I know my game will crash in soon XD

[Rounder007]

Well, after turning down the all graphic settings and what not I finally got Arma II to be somewhat stable in one of the scenerio missions. So I decided to continue my campaign game. I'm int he mission "badlands" and had captured the first two cities then all of a sudden BAM, CTD to desktop with this error message: "Device Failed". So I reload the game and try to load the campaign and get a CTD with error message :
"unable to read : //progam files/.../../..save

So I can't even continue the campaign. AWESOME. I'm giving up. Gl 2 u all.

[Lhowon]

Haven't gone through the thread and don't know how to search / add to the tracker, sorry:

- Anti-Air vehicles continue to fire at aircraft that have been shot down

EDIT: Might be more of an aesthetic thing, but the Hind "distance texture" (sorry don't know the technical term - LOD?) is too bright, so the transition is jarring from an almost white texture to a dark one.

[ptdrake]

I am trying to include the log file but I do not see a place to attach/upload (per your instructions http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=76670). edit: here's the link: http://myfreefilehosting.com/f/e2317eb7cc_0.93MB It was working fine under 1.03 and it does the scenarios just fine, but when I try to continue my game under Harvest Red it locks up after a minute or two. Ambient sounds continue, but whatever in-game music was on stops, and then the game quits responding (I have to ctrl-alt-del out). I am completely up to date on everything else. Please advise!

[RawMeat3000]

Many bugs reports in this one. Probably all CTDs.

http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=a01459754a9b3e3075a4fc82078ae6c8e04e75f6e8ebb871

And I get this really weird error where Arma 2 minimizes by itself and then stops giving me visual input. I can't switch back to it either. So the audio is there, and WASD and my mouse all still work; I can hear myself walking, shooting and the people around me. But all I can see is my desktop, or whatever other application is on top.

It's strange and annoying since i have to close the game.

[HamishUK]

Tracker keeps crashing on me so will ask here. Has it been notified that the LAV-25 seems to have a helicopters height and speed display in the top left corner instead of the tanks one? Sadly this makes the LAV useless in MP as the commander cannot give an enemy bearing reference for the gunner!

[Jon Hye-Knudsen]

Hi

Drove a Humvee to Dressler and talked to him and Marny. Went and solved Olegich's problem. Went to the little town with the castle, talked to the guy by the town well. Then the bad farmer. Had a little bit of a firefight with some Chdzk, while climbing the hill to get the files in the castle. Left the Humvee and flew by helicopter to the quarry.... Have had 2 freezups looking down into the quarry trying to kill the guards and one freezup while in the chopper.

The files are zipped here: http://rapidshare.de/files/48526983/arma2.zip.html

Hope it helps.

I am also still having trouble with 8GB of ram on my Win 7 RC1 x64 setup with a Nvidia GTX 275 with driver 191.07. The picture is totally screwed up and there are pretty much no textures. Just blocks. Only way to "solve" it is to msconfig my way down to 6-7 GB ram. This latest driver has made a good change to performance. I haven't measured it, but it sure feels smoother.

Hope for more patches n such. It would be a real shame if I had to drop the game because it is too buggy.

/Jon

[stegman]

I did a search but couldn’t find anything, sorry if its a repeat.

On my set up at least, the Force Recon Laser Designator guy has huge arms!
I don’t mean muscly, I mean grotesquely long!

This only happens when he is holding a rifle. Change to a pistol or the laser and all is well.

I'll try and take some screen grabs tonight.

I saw a similar thing on Armed Assault1, when you place the news reporter woman on the map, all soldiers hands would turn into evil crab claws.


[EDIT]- ..its..its fixed itself! i dont understand... oh well!!!

[waterinthefuel]

I'm really trying my hardest to follow the rules and post these files in .zip format for people to look at, but I don't have an Aram2.rpt file to give them. I've searched my computer twice, full search, it finds nothing. I'm getting random "Arma2 has encountered a problem and must close." errors. I'm running XP, 3.25gig RAM, Quad core processor, Nvidia card and I think the latest drivers as of a couple of weeks ago. The screen will simply lock up, unlock for a moment, then the white box of death comes up and tells me my game has ended. I'm always playing multiplayer when it does this. I know it's weak, but I have nothing else to show. I don't know what else to do. Arma 1 did the same thing at random times. It might be overheating, but nothing is overclocked and no other game crashes except Arma1 and 2, even FSX with graphics pegged out.

Is there a secret to getting to the Arma2.rpt file? If it's not there, what is another option?

Edit: The user below this reply helped me and I found what I needed. My files are below.

Hi, reporting a habitual CTD/freeze i have been experiencing.

my report links w/ dxdiag are in a .rar:

http://rapidshare.com/files/298868466/ARMA_2_reports_and_dxdiag.rar.html

Description:
Anyways since i purchased the game 2 days ago, all the crashes/freezes i have had were while i was playing a mulitplayer game (domination) in map: Chernarus, inside a tank or an aircraft. I have had one crash inside an m1a2 tusk, one in an AH1Z, one in a V22, one in C130J and two in a UH60, either in flight or landing. Sometimes the screen will freeze but the sound will remain forcing me to reboot computer but sometimes i stops. Sometimes its just an instant CTD and occur within 20-60 minutes of gaming time. The most recent crash today was around 6PM PST 10/27.

System:
E8500@<hidden> stable temps (prime95 shows stable)
GTX280 @<hidden>/1444/2440 stable temps 190.62
2X2gb ocz 6400
windows vista 64bit

[skypine27]

Can anyone trouble shoot this CTD during save? Happens EVERY time I try to save (either auto or manual) in Dogs of War:

edit:

read my own crash log, last line has the dreaded "cannot commit" error!?!

[Fireball]

Eh? Did anyone of you read the original post about the A2 CIT?

So could you please stop posting dumps and bug reports into this thread and use either the CIT or the Beta Testing Forum?

When reporting CTDs please always use the latest BETA: http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php

The BETA patch installs as mod (thus can always be reverted) and is multiplayer compatible.

[telejunky]

So here is another CTD. My friend radde can play ArmA2 Singleplayer like hell but when he wants to play MP the game crashes to desktop. This happens when receiving data,in the lobby and sometimes he can play for a minute. Unfortunately after those crashes he has only a restricted connectivity. So he has to reboot to regain acces to the internet.

His files: http://arma2base.de/content/download/raddectd.rar

Drivers are all updated. Rest of his system:
Vista 64 Ultimate
6Gb RAM
Intel E8400 3Ghz
Geforce GTX 285 191.07

We tried -winxp and -maxmem=2048 and this settings also with the newest betapatch.
Anyone an idea?

Thanks :)

[Heatseeker]

Just searched the tracker for "cobra" and "AH1". Can anyone add this one?

Descrition:

Repro:
Place an opfor infantry group and a blufor AH1 in the editor, preview as civilian.

Correct behaviour:
Place an opfor infantry group and a Mh60s or UH1Y in the editor, preview as civilian.

Version:

read it, it said this is where we post such information. sigh why must it be so difficult to get information to or a response from fuggin videogame developers. so many of them are bad businesses. they should be taking all customers accounts into consideration. Otherwise they should be losing business. I've already stopped buying from a company called egosoft because of their horrible customer service and poor programming. Videogames are a hobby for me, not my life. The fact that I have to do so much configuration to get a game to run properly these days is why the PC gaming industry is dieing and why people in BI and Egosoft and all these lesser known devs should be fearing for their jobs.

anyway, i get stuttery play on a +recommended spec system(unacceptable behavior), sometimes after an unpredictable amount of gameplay on scenarios like bear rising or whatever the name is, i get long duration freezes and then sometimes crash to black or total freeze... not so much to desktop. also the panning smoothness isnt acceptable near forests. i cant finetune an aim at a camoflaged opposition in a forest if my crosshair is skipping meters on a backdrop 70 meters away.

[Phenotype]

I've replayed the manhattan campaign a number of times because bugs have prevented me from completing it. I just applied patch 1.5 and am almost done, just reporting to Shaftoe after destroying main base. When I approach him he says one sentence then dies. When I try to reload saved games he appears to be retroactively dead. I have to go back to the last autosave to get him back but he just ends up dying again anyway. I'm stuck. I can't go forward and I am not going to replay the mission yet again. We need a way to resurrect key NPCs when, for no fault of our own, they seem to die from Aneurysms or SIDS. Oblivion has a command line utility. Is there a bit I can flip in some config file?

COIN bug with creating-deleting it.

game ver.: 1.05.62017

mission: http://narod.ru/disk/16319663000/mcti_r0.Chernarus.rar.html
(enter antibot code and press green button with word "скачать" on it)

how to get bug: Play as 1st russian unit from top (commander) and enter and then leave MHQ (it will delete and re-init COIN) and then use build menu. it will hang the game.

.rpt has following:

Unsupported language Russian in stringtable
Error in expression <es = _cashValues + [call compile _x];
} foreach _funds;
_cashValuesOld = _logic >
Error position: <foreach _funds;
_cashValuesOld = _logic >
Error foreach: Тип Последовательность, ожидается Множество
File ca\modules\coin\data\scripts\coin_interface.sqf, line 721
Creating debriefing


the most interesting facts:

1. yesterday i was able to build and then enter/leave MHQ and thus deleting/creating COIN, but today it crashes after first MHQ GetOut EH.

2. A forum member helped me with COIN, he sent me his small mission to run it (not this mission), he showed video of it, where his COIN was re-initialized after death by grenade. I ran same mission, but COIN hasn't reinitialized ! Very strange !

---------- Post added at 16:05 ---------- Previous post was at 15:50 ----------

If I re-init COIN witout parameters (default ones), bug doesn't happen

// mca_hq_coin_init.sqf
// version 1.0

// EH RU MHQ
RU_MHQ addEventHandler ["GetOut",
{
//[] execVM "mca_coin_ru_init.sqf";
"ConstructionManager" createUnit [ getPos RU_MHQ, group_RU_MHQ, "COIN_RU_MHQ = this;"]; //alt
COIN_RU_MHQ synchronizeObjectsAdd [RU_player_1]; //alt
"respawn_east" setMarkerPos getPos RU_MHQ;
publicVariable "RU_MHQ"
}];
RU_MHQ addEventHandler ["Killed", {deleteVehicle COIN_RU_MHQ; "respawn_east" setMarkerPos getPos RU_MHQ; publicVariable "RU_MHQ"}];
RU_MHQ addEventHandler ["GetIn", {deleteVehicle COIN_RU_MHQ}];

// EH US MHQ
US_MHQ addEventHandler ["GetOut", {[] execVM "mca_coin_us_init.sqf"; "respawn_west" setMarkerPos getPos US_MHQ; publicVariable "US_MHQ"}];
US_MHQ addEventHandler ["Killed", {deleteVehicle COIN_US_MHQ; "respawn_west" setMarkerPos getPos US_MHQ; publicVariable "US_MHQ"}];
US_MHQ addEventHandler ["GetIn", {deleteVehicle COIN_US_MHQ}];

(here, instead of init-file call i create only a COIN and synconize it, without parameters for COIN, so that means that bug appears somewhere when I set COIN's parameters, I guess)

---------- Post added at 16:22 ---------- Previous post was at 16:05 ----------

If I replace
[] execVM "mca_coin_ru_init.sqf"; with all commands from file "mca_coin_ru_init.sqf" , it works witout bug...

[Muscular Beaver]

Sooner or later, mostly after like 30 mins - 3 hours of gameplay, the game crashes. Sometimes its a simple CTD with the arma.exe staying in the process manager. And sometimes the picture just vanishes, desktop appears, arma.exe still running but I can still switch tasks to it and can still hear everything thats going on but I dont get any picture (desktop stays). I could even still hear my gun in the tank fire when i pressed the mouse button.
What it noticed is that it seems to happen far quicker if the viewing distance is higher. If I run 10km it will happen very quickly, but when I use 3km, it will take at least 1 hour for it to crash.

Hello. I have spend half an hour looking for a place where I can report errors and I am completely lost.
I suggest you publish errors that happen frequently in a frequently error database with a logical structure, so people like me who have a problem can find it quickly.

My ARMA2 crashes when I want to start single player and I can not find this error anywhere. Also not in the error tracker.
I wanted to attach the files in this post, but I can't......... how do I give you my bidmp, RPT and mdmp files???.

Pleas tell me what is wrong.

Interesting,

I got an email today saying my bug reports were closed because of the recent patch and they were "fixed".Thing is that patch is only for OA.The bugs were fixed for Arma 2,not OA.All the A2 owners were given was a new beta a few weeks ago that didnt solve the issues claiming to be fixed in the last patch.Where is the patch?:confused:

In the Game i got these settings which make the Game Playable.First Day i didnt got this bugged Screen again.2nd Day 2 times but it comes back to the Game again so i continued the Game.3th Day i got it 1 time and when the Server Restarted the Round i was stucked again but a Programrestart solved the Problem.2 Time the Game crashed.Report was sended to Windows. But after this i started Game again and it runs to the Night.Then i got a flickerscreen by restarting new Game from Server.So Shutdown and reconnect to the Game.After These short bug`s it was possible to Play the Game many Hours again.

Maybe Graphiccardmemory hast to be "flushed" more often.
Recievingscreenproblem is minimized to 5-10 sec(happend 3-4 times.most happen in helicopterview (egoperpective)). which can be a problem in helicopter ^^.

I have Windows 7 and Arma2 and Arma2 AO. At completely random moments in the game the game will suddenly freeze together with Windows. Reboot is the only way out.

This only happens during gameplay and usually when I move, zoom in or turn the camera around etc, with other words - seems like PC crashes when the game has to draw something. I didn't have this problem with Windows XP

I've already tried the quickfix and other standard windows updates.

I know this Problem exist since OFP maybe that`s the reason you were going from Codemaster`"S" ?hmm that let me thinking "when u see the flash,then it is to late..."

In Videosettings the Option "Memory" set to `Low`solved my Problem.
BIOS and yes before i forget it,i done a Update.
