Video Setting Lock Cannot Go Above Normal for Video Memory

[jcmomo]

As the title says, I can't put video memory or texture settings past normal, BUT I have 1gb video memory, 8gb ddr3 ram, and yes the video card is well over the standards to play ArmA2. Please help!

-Reset the config to the standard configuration > restart the game and try again.

-Remove (don't delete) the config folders (all Arma2 folders) from the "my documents folder" (if A2 is not running) > restart and try again

-If all fails just edit the C:\Users\Lars\Documents\ArmA 2\ArmA2.cfg

-Install or reinstalled the video drivers (or reset all its config)

-Good Luck!

Mostly a GPU/driver/windows/faulty VRAM detection problem. Update everything to latest (also directX 9).
Then try different GPU drivers.

Same problem here + Texture flickering after 5 minutes gameplay!
Game is up to date, new installation with newest patch 1.60 is installed.
No problems with other games (Crysis 2, Dead Space 2, Allan Wake,...)

My system:
-Windows 7 Ultimate + SP1
-Nvidia Driver v295.73 WHQL
-Intel Core2Quad i7-2700K @ 3,50 GHz
-3GB DDR3 RAM
-EVGA GeForce GTX 580 / 3GB
(not Overclocked)

I have reinstall windows 7 and the game, newest drivers. Game update to 1.60.
I can change the settings VIDEO MEMORY and TEXTURE DETAIL only to NORMAL or LOW. See image below.
And after 5 minutes gameplay i have Texture flickering in gameplay. After 10 minutes the game crash to desktop.
