1.7.4.4 Arma2 has stopped working

[MjrHardOn 0]

Installing the new patch for dayz makes arma2 crash,if i return to 1.7.3 i have no problems.

I use DayzCommander and arma is up to date.Restarting or reinstalling commander did not work.

Just before the loading screen it crashes.Anybody else have this and what to do.

I do not know what you mean, because Arma and Dayz go NOT together if you just want to play Arma.

I myself do not have any problems with the latest patch for Arma and the latest version of Dayz.

But if i want to play arma on its own, i have to make sure NO DayZ is loaded in any way.

Are you updating through DayZ Commander? Perhaps look for a direct-download from their ftp. Doesn't seem hard to find the ip on these forums. Hopefully, that would make a difference.

Any particular DayZ mod/map/server that you're trying to join?

finally got it working again.To get better FPS and better picture i had changed the shader and shadow settings in my profile files.I reinstalled the Arma series completly and on starting OA i got the message that it was because of shdr and shdws that it didnt work.Deleted my profile files coz pasting back the original one didnt work either,reinstalled OA again and voila.
