ArmA2 crash to desktop

[Feldpost]

Hi,

i had CTDs too. Mainly when I saved in missions/campaign. Tried alot, but the CTDs stayed.
With the 1.01beta-patch ArmA2 is running stable with impressive perfomance

//OT: great job! - this software is a masterpiece. second time i saw a game and think, impressive! (first was OFP )

So I installed the new Beta-patch today. It seemed to help, at least for the random crashes back to Desktop. But the sudden appearances of a violent Blue Screen Of Death still remain.

Damnit.

Anyone else has BSOD ?

I still crash to desktop after patch. Tried rollback to 182.50 drivers but they are no better than the 185.50 performance wise. Same problem with textures loading slow.

BSODs are not caused by software (ArmA2). Its usually a communication problem with hardware so its down to drivers.

Try updating DVD drive firmware.

I get the CTD but it's this one:

ErrorMessage: Out of memory (requested 3964 KB).
Reserved 294912 KB.
Total free 11821 KB
Free blocks 617, Max free size 3798 KB

It doesn't happen in every mission in the campaign, just larger ones like "Manhattan".
I'm playing with everything on highest settings except VD(about 4000). My system is pretty good.
C2E X9650@3.00ghz
4GB Ram
ATi 3870 with most recent drivers(9.5 I think. I rolled it back a few and it still crashed.)
Vista 32bit SP1(soon to upgrade to SP2.)

This is pretty much the same error from ArmA. I still occassionally get this error with A1 beta v1.16 but no where near the frequency in early versions. I'm just figuring this will get fixed in future A2 patches.

otsit,

It's not all that bad for me. Just make sure you save the game as often as possible. It seems to happen when I'm driving long distances.
