ArmA2 crash to desktop

[Blechreiz]

Hi! Iam playing the german release version.
My system is:
- AMD Phenom II X4 955 4x3.20GHz
- Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P 790X
- G1024P Club3D ATI Radeon HD4890 1024MB video card
- 4096MB Corsair PC3-10666 CL9 Kit (DDR3 1333+)
- 680W SuperFlower Atlas Design Modular
- (temps never higher than 55°Celsius)
- (on Windows Vista 64). CPU/GPU not overclocked, fresh BIOS (may 2009)update.

Sometimes there are errors during the campaign, the game often crashes when they appear. Sometimes I get this error (crash to desktop): http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/6549/aaatuo.jpg

That don't sound good

Erm a couple things you could try

Latest ATI drivers:

You could also try running as admin or running in compatibility mode for windows XP

BTW vista users service pack 2 is out, not sure it will help here though

As for now that's all I got, considering I don't actually have the game yet

[Blechreiz]

Thanks for your fast replies. Ive got the latest video card drivers. Going to test it the service pack2 soon

Don't hold out hope SP2 will make it work though

Here is my post on another forum has the links and changes inside:

@Blechreiz:
What's your graphic setting? Viewdistance?

[Maruk]

You may also try to run the game with command line option -maxmem = 512

It is possible that it may help. Various video options could also influence the behaviour.

Hi, i have the same problems under Win Xp SP3 32 Bit.
My Sys: E8400@3,0ghz; GTX 260 (latest driver); 4 Gig DDR2; Asus P5Q

Same Error as Blechreiz, after playing some minutes.
Tryed it with lower specs (all set to "normal" which should not make any trouble to my System) but doesnt work. Distance is set to 3000 meters.

Sometimes there are "colored triangles" graphicbugs before it accurs.

Edit: - maxmem 512 did not worke for me

Omg arma 2 juice best game ever made ever

[Blechreiz]

"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2.exe" -nosplash -maxmem=512

This is my path now - tried lots of changes in the video settings:


It seems like a higher viewdistance makes it crash faster.
