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

This tip should be on the ArmA2 Graphic on the Steam Store. Had no clue that it was patched already.

Game works great!

Yup still i cant force a resolution either trough launch options.
I tried

-wm ( windowedmode)
-w 1024 (sets res to 1024 x 768 )

tried simple things but all im getting is
No signal detected.
I think the starting resolution isnt supported by my tv =[

in arma2.cfg / arma2demo.cfg (located in my documents \ ARMA 2 \ or \ARMA 2 Demo \
check entry
refresh=nn; where nn is number in Hz some people reported it autoset 75 on theirs 60Hz LCD or others outofrange for certain TVs

My error says no more than this...

Code:

ArmA 2 has stoped work

Code:

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

edit:

I have also deleted the ENTIRE steam folder and re-downloaded everything. After download I also verified the integrity of the files..

When I go to launch the game from steam it does the loadup checklist, screen goes black like its going to launch then it crashes and I get a "Shader not supported anymore" Message, I fucking hate steam

any suggestions I really want to play

its your 8gbs of ram I'm guessing. Similar problems out there with other users running 8gbs. Take a stick out and see if it runs on 6gb with no graphical problems. If so, leave it out until they fix in patch.

I had no issue in the past with the downloaded demo, I feel steam is the issue to be honest..

Ticket submited on the DH site..

Dwarden I add you as a Steam contact, my steam username is hereticss. Tried the command line that did not work as well. Maybe we could sort this out on steam. Well atleast try.

I HAVE FOUND A SOLUTION!!

Alot of steam users will get a generic windows crash if the game fails to launch with steam.
However, when I went into the actual ArmA 2 folder and launced ArmA 2 straight from there, I got the error for x3daudio1_6.dll.

So hint to steam users. If your game is just plain crashing, launch it from the folder to get the actual error.
