Just tried the very, very beta driver from 3dguru.

No joy here either sadly.

Installing ARMA2 + patch 1.02.58134 on my pc (Windows7RC x64 on Q9550/ABIT P35/8Gb RAM/8800GTX) with all new WHQL nVidia drivers (I try 186.16, 185.85) I have much texture and lod bugs (missing or flicker textures, simplified models without any textures - only materials, etc.)
After rollback to 181.71 x64 beta driver - all work fine.

P.S. Game is exciting, but graphic problems is very annoying.

hello reaper.

it may be something you have overlooked. but it is a 500w PSU that you are using to drive all that hardware plus a major overclock.

i suggest you at least try a 650w supply with the hardware that you are running as a 500w supply (especially a el cheapo TAGAN) is inadequate to efficiently power all your devices.

if you wish to narrow down the cause of your crashes, you should at least try a higher wattage PSU with plenty of juice on the 12v rail. as both your overclock and your zotac will consume a lot of power.

Hi.

How do i add this to my launch shortcut if im launching thru steam???
My target for the ArmA 2 shortcut is this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 33900

[=WFL= Sgt Bilko]

In Steam under tab "My Games", right click ArmA2 and pick properties.
Under "General" tab you should have the "Set Launch Options".

i did have brand new ati 4870x2 few days then i swapped it to xfx gtx295. i didnt ever get arma2 working past opening screen or mission begin it crashed whole pc or just arma2. i thought it was the vidgard faulty. it was psu not strong enough for 4870x2. and i have seasonic 650w. so really check your psu is it up for the job. nvidia has approved psu list in their site it gives good general direction what to have
