bluesteel 0 Posted October 17, 2009 The 8 gigs are what's causing this if I remember correctly, try adding "-winxp" to your commandline/shortcut. If you rightclick your ArmA 2-shortcut, make sure it looks like this: "[...]\ArmA 2\arma2.exe" -winxp The [...] is a placeholder for the relative path on your system. Important is that the "-winxp" exists outside the quotation marks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E.Scott 10 Posted October 17, 2009 I got a 5870 a few days ago to replace my 9800GTX and I got into ArmA II to try it out and nothing would render like those pictures above! I just tried this -winxp thing and it worked. I have everything maxed and it runs great! Thanks a lot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-=JackHorner=- 10 Posted October 18, 2009 Where do i find the shortcut to add that if i have it installed on steam, what folder? Im having the same issue with the graphical glitch and 8 gb of ram... I don't know how to do it with steam but I know that steam lets you make desktop shortcuts.. try that and then go into the shortcuts properties and edit its launch parameters by adding the -winxp I had the same problem as you as I have 12 gigs ram, the winxp line corrected it.

sgt_flyer 0 Posted October 18, 2009 in steam, you right click on your game, select "properties",select "set launch options" in the general tab, and just add the -winxp in the box which will appear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wickedstigma 10 Posted May 3, 2010 I just joined the forum to say thank you! I've been around 10 hours trying to solve this on my own and with the -winxp thing it worked, I was at the brink of formatting my computer so I could reinstall the game. Thanks Again!

Bulldogs 10 Posted May 4, 2010 If you update to 1.05 you shouldn't need the -winxp after that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
