Having an easter egg or two as a shoutout to folks who've helped develop the game is one thing, but I'm of the opinion that when done in such an obvious and inartful way that it's simply tasteless. Herpy Doove's Canned Muffins? It's simply ugly and I find it to be quite out of place in what is otherwise a serious game. Some of the less gratuitous examples of the food names I'm not so much at issue with, but also needlessly cluttering up the loot tables is as pointless. Just my 2 cents.

My character data somehow became corrupted on the Takistan hive and now whenever I try to join a Takistan server I get stuck on the loading screen. Anyone know who can erase my character data so I can play again? Please.

Died on the Takistan map, and now whenever I try to join a server running on the same "Main" Takistan Hive, I get stuck on loading - The black screen with just the single "Loading" message. There's only one or two Takistan servers not sharing that hive that I can join; since this is only occurring on one particular shared hive I'm going to assume that this is due to my character data somehow becoming corrupted. Anyway, would anyone know if it would be possible to fix this? Get my character data wiped somehow? Would anyone know who I should contact if this requires administrative intervention? Thank you for reading.

it's pretty fun.

IGN is Grazhny Bratchny, same as forum name. Thank you for helping.

On one of the Utes servers, everyone in the server was teleported into the middle of the ocean, with no land in sight. After disconnecting, I spawn in the sea on every Utes server and I am unable to kill myself or respawn in any way. Is there some way I can respawn? Perhaps an admin could edit a database entry, or something? I'm really out of options here and I find the Utes experience to be quite enjoyable.

I did some tests, and it seems this isn't a temperature issue; The thing will freeze when the GPU is at 90 degrees, when the thing is rated for 105. I remain mystified.

How do you check your SLI settings/turn it off? I doubt I have it enabled, but my computer came with a shitty integrated graphics card (That's still in there of course) that I replaced with my GTS 250 so I want to check this out.

Both me and a friend had this problem while server hopping to find a night server - Really takes it out of you. Oh well, now I know why it happened.

I have the same issue. You can temporarily fix it by pressing left shift and then your keypad minus key, and then typing FLUSH. This I believe flushes the VRAM and forces the game to reload its graphics. Of course this doesn't prevent the issue from occurring again, and for me at least occasionally when this happens the game will totally freeze and I need to end the process in windows task manager. I've heard that it may be an overheating issue although many have said that their cards were at normal temperatures when the crashes occur; you may want to find a temp monitoring program and get some data on that. Also, what kind of card are you using? I'm using an nvidia GTX 250. This issue doesn't happen to me in any other games that I've played, I assume the same is for you.

Just wait until you find a motorbike!

I've tried running the game without steam running but I still crash.

What is this "SLI"?

Same issue using nVidia card, it's getting out of hand with the constant crashing of the game. Sometimes I can resume the graphics in arma2 by doing the graphics memory flush but that of course doesn't prevent it from happening again a few minutes later. Sometimes I can play for hours without it happening and sometimes it freezes/crashes within minutes of starting to play.

I have the same issue. Very frustrating. I find that most of the time when it blackscreens I can either press esc (Opens the menu) and then press alt+enter which turns it fullscreen and restores the graphics, or alternatively you can press left shift+keypad minus and then type FLUSH to restore it. Unfortunately however this does not prevent it from occurring in the future and also occasionally when mine freezes up and blackscreens, the program has completely crashed and I need to end the process in task manager and then reboot. What kind of card are you using? I have an nVIDIA GTX 250. It runs just about every other game I have perfectly and nominally I get 30-50 FPS in arma2.
