Video Setting Lock Cannot Go Above Normal for Video Memory

[.kju [PvPscene]]

to adjust the values doesnt work. arma writes only in the file, it does not read them.
you could try to search for post from Suma on the matter (VRAM). i think he gave some hints what to do on faulty detection.
there are also some CIT tickets about it.

@brzozowsky please run DXDIAG again and tell us value from display tab -> Approx. Allocated Memory : xxxx

Hey! This is it! Thanks! It shows me only 175 MB?
I thing this has to do with the VGA Chip on Mainboard. (Is disabled in BIOS)
But how i can change this value? Is it possible?

For now only way to fix this problem is to take out 1 stick of system memory. Reason for that is THIS M$ bug.

i swear there was released beta-hotfix for upcoming SP2 (either as candidate hotfix or final but non-public)

i'm trying find it but for some reason i keep failing (yet i have burned into my memory there is one)

(note: there was also another DXdiag fix which solved the DX10 vs DX11 detection (bug was that it reported only DX10 on DX11 card))

Yes guys, you are right. I thing its a bug in Windows 7 x86 if you have 4GB RAM installed.

I found a solution after a long night.
I have found in a german forum a unofficial RAM-Patch for Windows 7 x86. After installing the patch, Windows 7 shows me i have 4 GB RAM installed, before the patch it was 2.99 GB.



...and the dxdiag shows me 721MB, before it was 273MB


Now i can set VERY HIGH - Video memory and VERY HIGH - Texture quality in the settings. I have played Arma2OA v1.60 today about 4 hours without errors or crashes. The system is with the RAM-Patch stable.

Here are informations about the RAM-Patch for Win7 x86: http://www.unawave.de/windows-7-tipp...r.html?lang=EN

Big thanks to all for helping to resolve this problem!

I currently have a 2.5gb Video Card but I am unable to choose Video memory High and etc there is only 2 options Low and Normal on my other systems with 2 and 1gb cards it gives me all the options...

Anyone know an override by chances

Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1 X64
Xeon X5690
12GB DDR ECC
300 15rpm x 4 SAS
Quadro 5000 2.5gb
ASUS PCIE x1 Xonar STX

Dxdiag says video card is 217mb lol rest of aps see it as 2.5gb except arma 2 but then again arma 2 goes off of dxdiag
