I still haven't found a solution to this problem, causing me to not even be able to play this game. I've spent hours searching Google and these forums for an answer. Hopefully someone will find a solid fix. Yes. Like I said, i used to play this game over 6 months ago and crashing still occured I don't see why i should have to, seeing as this never happened to me in any other 3D game in the past... But then i wouldn't be able to play on my favorite server.

Ok so I bought the game through Steam. I'm running ARMA 2: OA version 1.62.100296 (not beta). I launch through the Commander. It makes no diference how I launch the game though, because it's been doing this since before I had the Commander. I used to launch through Six Launcher, or Steam itself. This is something that has been happening since I bought ARMA 2: CO, around six months ago. I can play for hours, or for minutes but my game, PC, or video card will just crash. Often times artifacts appear as my screen freezes, and I have to hard restart my computer with a button. Alternatives like my screen turning black have ocurred. Sometimes I can alt-tab out of it but usually I can't. It's not a GPU/CPU heat issue, my drivers are up to date, and the average FPS is 60.
