Flashing white screen-game unplayable

[Deemsee]

Has anyone got a solution for this?

Whilst playing the screen turns a blinding white and flashes...it's like having a spotlight in your face and no amount of turning or adjusting video memory seems to help.

I've updated to the latest patch and I'm running on an Radeon HD4870X2

I'd really appreciate some help!

I get this a bit with my 4870x2, i found HDR 16 or 32 and PP off pretty much gets rid of it, still occasionally does it but its playable now.

thanks...how do I change the HDR setting?

[NevilleBartos]

in your config file

im on my laptop atm so i cant check but i think its

C:\users\<login account>\my documents\Arma 2\Arma2.cfg

Hey Dude, question for you, is the number in the cfg for example,
the higher the number the less HDR, or the lower, ect, know what Im asking?

As right now mine says:
HDRPrecision=8;
but i dont have white screen or flashing ect, Im just trying to figure out how to
turn the hdr down so that when you go from light to dark or vice versa it isn't so erratic
where its a huge change, i wish i can just turn it off I really dont care for it.

hey mate its higher number = sharper (or more accurate) HDR effect, it seems that way for me anyway.

[Günter Severloh]

Ok, i will try it out, thanks.

[Deemsee]

Thanks Dude...it helped. Sort of.

I'm with Gunter on this one, I'd like to turn HDR off completely..it seems to be borked for ATI cards...

If any BIS staff are reading this...any chance for a hotfix?

I can pay you in beer
