TH2G problem with Patch 1.02 build 58134

[hannibal636]

yes. i am running newest patch build..
v102_58134

I CAN NOT PLAY PLAY ARMA2 with triplehead2go
It will run at 1680x1050 on one monitor, but when i enable triplehead (4320x900)
i get a message saying unable to create graphical engine error message.

i am running Vista x64 SP2
8 Gigs of Ram
8800GTS 512 w/ v186.18 nvidia driver
Powerdesk Version 2.05

(i had better luck with nvidia v180.48 and powerdesk v2.04) but still gives me the error, if i start messing around with ther other graphics settings


On top of the triplehead problem, i have graphic anomolies playing at 1680x1050 where cockpit windows look like static noise, and objects have a polygonish boxes that exist all over the game... (i think this is due to having 8Gigs of RAM or more..)

BIS PLZ FIX....

seems like problem with 8GB RAM again, will be fixed in future

please use commandline paramater -winxp

e.g. arma2.exe -winxp

[hannibal636]

OK, I will check that out.
(for now i can run the game ok at single screen 1680x1050 and msconfig max memory set to 4Gigs -1 byte)

for the triplehead problem, i tried V-Sync ON and OFF... no joy there...

I am on Vista x64
core2duo E8500
6 Gig Ram
8800GTS 512
Powerdesk 2.05
Nvidia 186.18
PhysiX disabled

I tired the command lines arguments,
I AM STILL GET THE "Error creating Direct 3D 9 Gpahical engine
when i try to run triplehead @ 4320x900

in my shortcut, i set my target as:
"C:\arma2.exe" -winxp -maxmem=2047 -cpuCount=2

the game runs fine at single screen 1680x1050

but NO Triplehead2go!!!!!!!!!
(Note.. triplehead works after change settings from singlescreen to triplescreen BUT error appears when you start the game the next time around)
force OFF V-sync does not help either...

[hannibal636]

Triplehead2 Go Dosent work with beta 190.15 nvida either....

PLZ FIX SOON!

have you tried backtracking to an earlier driver version???

Might be worth trying 182.50

I went back to 182.50 nvidia driver with powerdesk 2.04 (182.50 will not work PROPERLY with latest powerdesk 2.05)

Triplehead2GO is BONKED WITH ARMA2 even with 182.50....!

works fine for me with single screen.

I had ArmA 2 in 1.01 nicely up and running with a Matrox TH2G in a 5040 x 1050 resolution.

After applying Patch 1.02 build 58134 I got the infamous message "Error creating direct3d 9 graphical engine".

I did the usual troubleshooting: -winxp parameter; removing config files; lowering memory in msconfig to 3070.
To no avail.

I did a rollback to version 1.01 and the ArmA 2 was running ok again.

Looks like Patch 1.02 build 58134 doesn't like Matrox TripleHeads2Go.

Also there might be a difference between the normal (<= 3840 x 1024) TH2G resolutions and the widescreen TH2G resolutions (up to 5040 x 1050, only with nVidia 200 series graphic cards, like the GTX 280 or 285).

Is anybody out there with a TH2G who has it up and running with Patch 1.02 build 58134 ? And in what resolution ?

[vaaf_rup]

Same issues.

9800GTX+
Q6600
TH2G Digitial
3x 1680x1050 screens
Win7 RC 64bit
6GB RAM

Works fine on single 1680x1050. Dog's breakfast when trying to do triplehead modes, fullscreen or windowed. Latest drivers on everything as of yesterday when I rebuilt my rig.

Yes I'm in the same boat. Was fine in 1.01, upgraded to 1.02 and it no longer works.

Axek.
