You say Arma 2 doesn't work anymore?

When did it change? When were you last able to play?

So what changed - did you install anything, system updates? Something must have happened 1 week ago.

My graphics card died on me even tho arma 2 work so i got a new graphics card that was much stronger Radeon ATI HD 2400 and its up-to date

what card did you have if that one is stronger if it was a nvidia card switchng to a amd card is a pain if you dont remove the drivers if it was an old amd card and you just installed the new catalyst on top the old one that can sometimes cause problems too

what are your pc pc specs inc windows
