Yeah done it through the main .exe before as well as window mode through both Desura and the .exe

Ok. I have one last idea.

Go to the directory for ArmA. Right click on the .exe and click "Create Shortcut". Then right click on the shortcut and click "Properties". At the very end of the target line with a space before you type it, type in "-maxmem=2048".

It should look like this:

Tried that approach already didn't work. Reason number 128 to upgrade my video system....

Indeed.

I'm currently in the process of downloading ArmA and installing it so I can take a closer look and see if it happens to me as well.

I am able to run ArmA 1.18 perfectly fine. I'm going to assume that the issue is with your graphics card being incapable of properly playing ArmA.

It is your graphics card bro. In fact simply because you don't have a graphics card.

Trying to play anything but very old games or looking at your desktop with an integrated "videocard" is futile.
That and intel drivers are usually really bad.

You'd do well by buying a proper one.

Arma Version 1.18.0.5281 Steam

same problem. and considering buying a graphics card to get it to work. even though a roll back to a previous version WOULD fix my problem. it worked on my laptop.....vista 32bit. non updated version.

idk if its possible to rollback a steam game, id like to know. and id like to know if i could get a blessing on downloading a older version. im just way too frustrated to mess with this anymore.

so, theres 3 options
A) fix it.
b) allow me to get a earlier version
C) refund. (idk if i have to go through you or steam)


this update BROKE the game, in my humble opinion.
it worked in earlier versions, and it worked on my low powered laptop? WHY not my desktop.

i am aware it may be the video card, and i am looking into purchasing one. any suggestions to one thats GUARANTEED to work?

A) It works for many people, it's an issue with your hardware.
B) You must redownload from Steam and disable automatic updates if you wish to have an earlier version. Although Steam may automatically download the newest version, I'm not sure,
C) The place you purchased from would have to give you a refund. To my knowledge, Steam does not give refunds.
