[Dwarden]

please if you have crash search on your harddrive file

ARMA2.rpt

usually in
Documents and Settings
username
Local Settings\Application Data\ArmA 2\

there should be also these files (or at least one of them)
ArmA2.mdmp
ArmA2.bidmp

pack them (all 3 or 2) into zip archive and upload as attachment to your next post ...

Dwarden, I installed the Steam version of ArmA 2, and am having graphics difficulties. On every single graphics setting, including the default one, there are no textures on anything except for the water. I have tried changing the advanced settings many times. The game is very smooth and loads quickly except for that one problem. I had the same problem with the ArmA 2 demo. I deleted the demo and the folder in the "My Documents" folder.

Asus,Rampage II Gene, Intel X58
Intel i7 920, 2.67Ghz
EVGA & XFX, GeForce 9800GT, 512Mb, SLI, 186.18

WHO TOLD YOU INSTALL PATCH ?
STEAM BUILD IS NEWEST NO NEED TO PATCH ...

now you need to validate game cache and redownload the messed files

some users reported going back to 185 drivers fixed issues for them ...

Also trying using 182.50 drivers if the 185's don't work. Some users have resorted to them and have eliminated sli and crashing problems.

Since I bought my copy of Arma 2 from Steam, I guess I will post this here, though I have seen a couple of other people with the same type of problem I am having.

First off I will tell you what I am running for a system.

Windows Vista Home Premium 64 w/ Service Pack 2
AMD Phenom 9500 Quad-Core Prccessor 2.21 GHz
8GB Dual Channel Ram
2 EVGA GeForce 9800 GT Superclocked 512MB PCIe in SLI.
All my Drivers are up to date.

Now on to the problem that I am having. When I load into the game everything is Blocky, kinda like it is in the beta version of the game. If you don' t understand that, here are a few screen shots from my game.





Any Help would be great here
