Arma 2, Arma 2 OA & Arma 2 CO all crash on startup, using steam.

Recommended Posts

Hello, yestersday, 7/9/12 I bought and installed Arma 2 CO, and let the download finish overnight. I have already checked on canyourunit and my computer exceeds the recommended system requirements Today I saw that the download had finished, and I pressed play on Arma II. When the game popped up the black screen instantly showed a message saying Arma II stopped working. Then I tried using Operation Arrowhead and combined operations, with the same problem. I tried Arma II in windowed mode, with no avail.

Please help me!

I am using Windows 7, 64 bit

Well, it is almost certain that somethings wrong then.

For a more in-depth analysis, please provide the following info:

- System specs

- OS used

- Latest update of DirectX 9

- Latest update of hardware drivers

- The .rpt files

For a more in-depth analysis' date=' please provide the following info:

- System specs

- OS used

- Latest update of DirectX 9

- Latest update of hardware drivers

- The .rpt files

Ok so how do I access my latest update of my hardware drivers? Sorry I am really nooby

As for my OS, I am using Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Edition (build 7600), 64-bit. I have directX 11

My CPU is: Intel® Core i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30GHz.

I have 8.1 GB of ram.

My video card is a Nividia GeForce GT 540M.

I have over 400 GB of hardrive space.

I got this from the canyourunit test, is there any more information I need to add? Also, I have the .rpt files of Arma 2 and Arma 2 OA, how do i read/post these?

DirectX9 Webinstaller: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35

This will install required files if some are missing, else it will do nothing.

If you don't know how to check hardware drivers or can't say how new/old they are, then probably you've never installed any drivers. That said, most likely your drivers are <insert date of OS installation> old.

I have already checked on canyourunit and my computer exceeds the recommended system requirements

OMFG, don't trust this shitty site. They have more than often false results, mostly because they assume that a higher model number on GPU's means better GPU. But still, a HD5870 by far outperforms a HD6570. So please, don't insist on "this site says it should run", post your system specs.

Ok thanks for the tip about that website, sorry if I seemed "insisting", just didn't know what I would need to put for this so I thought that might have been helpful. Also, what other system specs should I post, and what program should I use to check the .rpt files? Then should I post the results?

he .rpt files can be opened with any text editor as technically these are simple text files.

Also check if DirectX 9 is actual.

Look for updated drivers for your GPU here.

Looked at youur system specs. Your Laptop is quite weak but nonetheless, ArmA 2 can run on it but it wont look pretty.

Wait using a 64 bit computer doesn't effect anything, right?

Well, i would guess you would have a hard time to find a non-64bit PC these days.

Why don't you simply provide the info i asked for above?

What do you mean by actual? How would I check that? For my driver, I am downloading an referenced driver that the website showed me after I auto scanned right now.

As for my .rpt files, I just copied and pasted them after opening then with notepad. I hope it might help

Really sorry for sending this so late, I was afk and didn't even realize you had already posted something before I even asked that question
