Menu is Broken, or the Game Is

[spencer1583 10]

I Swear this game is worse than cancer with how many problems occur, anyway I'm gonna explain my situation and i really hope that one of you can help me fix it.

 

Whenever i start the game it takes forever to load and it says that it's not responding every once in a while whilst loading. But that's not the issue cause the game eventually loads up and it goes through the the different splash things cause Bohemia is practically narcissistic. And then after waiting a year and a half, i get to the main menu; BUT OH WAIT arma just has to give me a fuck you cause when i try to click on something, anything the game freezes for like a split second and nothing happens, sometimes when i hover over something it doesn't even select it. So i move my cursor off of the button and put it back on and click again and again nothing happens, now if this doesn't happen and it actually does something, whatever it does has absolutely nothing to do with what i was clicking on. For example i would click on play and it'd bring me to the credits screen, and I'm sitting here all like "WTF??!@#?" while also getting extremely pissed. So There you go, if that's not enough I'll try to take some screens or something but I'll probably be too lazy for that.

 

Edit: No It's Not My Resolution, Already Tried That. No It's Not My Driver, Already Updated That. No It's Not A File, Already Cerified That. And No It's Not A Mod, Again Been There And Tried That.

1. Stop using a potato computer with Arma.

2. It's totally forbidden to not read up on parameters you can use to skip splash screen, load with an empty world to make Arma start faster. Extremely prohibited so don't even try that.

3. Spew shit on the internet and clearly declare that you wont do any additional actions that might actually be useful for us to be able to help.

 

I, like totally, wish you good luck in your quest on getting someone to help you. Totally.

Completely ignoring the issue at hand and pointing out things that i have said isn't very helpful

 

If you have any information that could be of any use that would be lovely\. I Just want to get this fixed i didn't mean to rant as much as i did i apologize for that.

 

Edit: my computer is not a potato, i have all the recommended system requirements and even then the game is said to be extremely poorly optimized even for 980 Ti's

Also another thing is if i start up my game wihtout any mods through play with six, it does everyhting normal and i have no issues. But i would like to fix the main problem and not have to use playwithsix every time i wanna play the game.

Sounds like its a MOD issue then. Remove all your mods and add them back in one-by-one until you find the cause. Then post in the addon's thread and see if its a known issue/going to be fixed.

Are you sure? Because you just said running the game without mods works fine...

Also, if the game runs fine without mods, how the fuck is it BI's fault?

[spencer1583 10]

I don't know If I said it was Bi's fault but i don;t think i did, but i'm fairly sure because while trying the different resolution things i had started the game through the normal launchers without any mods activated and the issue had persisted

 

The Game doesn't run fine, i have as i explained my game freezing for half a second when i click something or press anything or do anything, and then nothing happens when i click on something like play, after that i have to repeatedly move my mouse on and off the button to even get something to happen, and sometimes even then it acts like i clicked something completely different. For example while i was testing something inn six just a moment ago i had tried to click on exit, because the "Fix" didn't work, and for some reason the game thought i wanted to go to the manual page and instead opened that. Again to reiterate the mods aren't the issue, although now the issue has started to persist in six so idk if i can play at all.

Launch the game in windowed mode. When the game is launched you can use Alt+Enter to bring the full screen. There has been some weird resolution issues since the last Fall. Could be related issue.

Verify steam cache is always worth taking time to check, this game has a habit of messing up a file after an update or two.

[spencer1583 10]

This would be a great fix, if it actually worked. Seriously i've tried the window mode "Fix" and it didn't help. The issue persisted and possible made it even worse. There are also some interesting things that hapen whenever i open my game, it will randomly alt-tab without me even pressing the button so.

 

 Edit In Reply To F2K Sel: I Tried this one as well and for a second i thought it might've worked but my cursor still messed up and the game kept freezing for a split second every time i pressed a key or clicked.

If you're so certain its not a mod issue then that leaves us with another option. If the game launches fine through PWS, but not so fine with the games default launcher, then the launcher must be adding some sort of launch parameter to the executable that PWS doesn't add. Check all your Launcher settings and see if there are any launch parameters defined. It could be its forcing the game to use a specific (i.e broken or poorly optimised for your particular system) memory allocator or some-such, or it could be another launch parameter at fault.

Ok so i fixed the menu thing but now i have another issue, and I think it kinda connects with the main one. I got in game somehow, and whenever i try to move it freezes my game depending on how long i hold the key

 

When i was researching the main problem whilst tryiung to fix it i had ran into a post that said the same sorta thing but i don't think it was fixed.
