REALLY BAD GAMEPLAY

[Fahzula 1]

Hey guys,

Here's the situation:

So I go into steam, nothing else running but steam at this point, open up Arma 2 and I then start a game or a mission but whatever gameplay I start up it will become seriously laggy and it will also fill my screen with random grey patches or greenish/brown colours but yet most of the time I can still see the characters in front of me.

The game is literally not playable though, it's that bad.

Any ideas?

It's like the ground is covering me.

All of the surroundings suddenly fill my screen.

I've tried adjusting the video settings to low - normal - high and turning things off and on but non of it works.

I think it's time to get a new desktop PC..

[jblackrupert 308]

What GPU?

How old is it?

Have you tried:

- Rechecking the Steam files.... corruption can occur from a freeze, crash...HD write errors...etc.

- Unistall/Reinstall/update your video drivers

- Check your GPU temperatures

If they are high blow out the fan and heatsink on the card with compressed air and try replacing the thermal paste [Youtube videos show you how to do this]

It looks more like a corrupt video driver or Arma 2 files problem then heat though.

I wouldn't advise clicking that link... It's spam and...Russian...nuff said.
