  1. #1

    Talking

    Thread Purpose
    To inform members of problems and their resolutions for playing ArmA on the Vista 32-bit and 64-bit operating system.
    This thread should also be the one and only thread to discuss playing ArmA on Vista, mostly about Stability, Performance and Connectivity Issues.

    Sticky and lock of old Troubleshooting threads have been requested to Placebo.

    Information Resources
    Unofficial ArmA on Vista Troubleshooting BIKI Page (will be updated and contains links to old forum discussion threads)

    Thanks to Sickboy for all his help with Vista issues.

    This will be the official Vista support thread, if you have a Vista related problem please first check the linked wiki, if your problem is not resolved in that then please feel free to post in this thread and hopefully other Vista users will be able to help you out
    If someone reports an issue/complains about the Alpha etc, replying in the thread "dude it's an alpha" doesn't really help anyone! Point them to the Arma3 Alpha feedback tracker instead please!

    Please do not PM or Email me directly about your CD Key issues, follow the guidance in this thread instead.

    It only fixes the things mentioned. Im not sure what you mean with "Still doesn't start properly". If you mean you have 4GB and can't run ArmA, you can use the method on the wiki to start ArmA Properly on Vista +4GB.

    4GB RAM = no-no. Either physically remove 1GB, or use bootmgr to load with only 3GB.

    Oh, wait. You say you've tried the things on the wiki page. Does that include physically removing 1 GB?




    Everyone tempted to post another inane/useless/whogivesatoss topic in the A3 forum - here.
