Two very annoying problems

[redreversed 2]

1.I've had this problem for a nice long while(atleast a year maybe)so its got to do with arma 2, not dayz.Its even still happening after a fresh windows install so its probbably a hardware issue.

What happens is that the game freezes after a while, sometimes it takes only a few minutes sometimes it takes long for it to happen.

It freezes for maybe 5 seconds or less, unfreezes for 1, and then freezes again and it continous on like that until eventually it usually stops happening(after maybe up to 10 minutes?).

On the task manager it says its not responding. This one is very annyoing and has gotten me killed hundreds of times.

I would at least like somebody to tell me how to find out whats the actual problem.

2.The second problem is recently.. two or three days ago when I started playing dayz(only on new map namalsk)

Direct chat doesnt work for me, or I cant see it or hear it.People see mine but I can't see theirs.And its still happening after I reinstalled arma 2 and arma 2 OA.

This one has also gotten me killed, as people warned me and I didn't hear them...

It also annoys other people as if I team up with someone we have to talk over side channel(if there is one).

1.

Is your PC good? also do you have hardcopy or digital copy of arma

2.

Yaaa you are not alone the whole broken direct chat is just a dayz thing...sometimes it works other times it doesn't...don't know why but ya the first one...sound like hardware issue

Have you tried resetting everything to default, bios settings etc?

Does it do it in any game or just arma?

Does it lock video & audio or both?

Do you have any wireless devices?

Have you tried resetting everything to default, bios settings etc?I am not sure how to reset everything..

Does it do it in any game or just arma?I seem to have similar thing on minecraft and league of legends.

Does it lock video & audio or both?Always video,sometimes audio.

Do you have any wireless devices?No I dont think so..

Could someone please help?Its absolutely game breaking for me...

I don't even need a solution, a way to find out what is actually causing the problem would be great. :/

Download dcp latencey i think its called it will tell you if the cpu is struggling to keep up with what your asking it to do.

What gpu drivers are you using?

Also try running arma as admin (rick click exe) in steam apps folder and see if it still does it

I did, and It did great.

It is definately not the gpu drivers as I had a different graphics card not long ago when it was also doing this.

And I don't know, I start DayzCommander with administrator, would that be enough?

(btw sorry for very late reply, I was quite busy)

Okay, so I have done the ramdisk thing (

)

And now while it still happens just as frequent, the freezing is a little different. Instead of long freezes with tiny half a second to second breaks, it is now short freezes with bigger breaks between them and it seems to go on longer though (but Im not sure if im right about that)

Anyone have any ideas? :/

Seems like noone will reply unless you keep bumping to get to first page :/
