Game doesn't load high textures

[mant3z]

Hi guys,
I've never had a problem with any BIS game since OFP... for the first time I have a very weird situation with ArmA 2 Combined Ops
My game doesn't load High textures, or even normal... I see only LOW!

I've bought ArmA2 from UK online shope, rest addons I've got from SPRocket

My PC details:
AMD Phenom II X4 940 3.5
AMD Gigabyte 6870
8 Giga RAM Patriot
ASUS M2N32-SLI DELUXE
SSD 128 Giga
DirectX Version : 11.0
Windows 7
Monitor: IIama 26" - 1920 x 1200 x 32

When that happens to me?
2 weeks ago I've bought SSD so I've reinstaled windows 7 and arma, after that everything works fine but after one week arma just automaticly switched to LOW textures and even when I deleted all cfg files and arma profiles nothing happen, still arma didn't react proper when I switched from low to high. Today I've reinstaled game and deleted all cfg and arma profiles once again... still nothing

Take a look on this screenshot, game looks crapy as hell

Ummm why is your 3D performance NEGATIVE ?

As a test, set it to 100,000 and see what happens.

I just remind myself that I still have old HD with W7 and Arma installed... so I've switched and take a look
Beautifull isn't it?

Thanks Kremator, I'll now switch to SSD and try your advice... let see what happens, I'm happy that's not a hardware problem uff
That can be good solution because in old arma it's positive

Damn it doesn't work! Even if I copy and paste arma2OA.cfg and user profiles from old disk to new one.
What's interesting is that when I change from low textures to high game doesn't reload textures whilst it does on the old disk.
What the f** can it be because of latest AMD drivers?

OK it's fixed... probably my 2 years daughter by accident switched some graphic options in catalyst control center.
When I restored all to default it looks like it should look.
Case closed.

Setting that value does nothing. It's automatically generated and negative values are fine.

Well I had the same problem on my old 6850. Strange Texture LOD switching most of them where on low res the funny thing was I first noticed this in the 1.60 patch. Well anyway I never found a solution to my problem but it fixed it self when I bought a new gpu.
