FlowBrah 0 Posted January 15, 2013 Hello, I am coming here for support with my ARMA2OA.exe crashing while overclocked, it used to run fine and then randomly it kept crashing, i reinstalled windows and many various option and then restored to default clocks and it runs with no crashed but the fps is really low like 10-15fps in the citys where as with my overclock of 4.4GHz i was on about 40-50 in citys, please no that i had the cpu running like this for the last 6 month in overclock running it fine then this has only just started also it only crashed on arm2/dayz no other games crash. This is a stable oc i ran p95 for 8 or so hours and no crashes temps are fine with a H80i Cooler.Specs:Intel i7 3770kGigabyte 7850 2GB16GB Ripjaw RAMASRock Extreme4 MotherboardGame running of a WD Black 2TBIf you need anymore info and I can supply it i will.Cheers, Flow :)Pastebin of crash to windows...http://pastebin.com/hjYzxcBf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ravey 24 Posted January 15, 2013 It could be the hard drive. I was having a lot of issues with my old WD 500 gig hard drive. It would run other games fine but not ArmA.If you have an SSD I would suggest uninstalling then reinstalling to your SSD.If you don't have an SSD, then you should think about investing in one.If your WD Black is under 5 years old it could still be under warrantee. take it to a local PC repair shop and get a diagnostic on it. And get it replaced if it is faulty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mos1ey 6301 Posted January 15, 2013 Have you tried disabling hyperthreading? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlowBrah 0 Posted January 15, 2013 Have you tried disabling hyperthreading?No I have not, I have heard HT can make games like this run slower but I don't see how as this game doesn't support hyperthreading, will i think :3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ravey 24 Posted January 15, 2013 Have you tried lowering your resolution? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ravey 24 Posted January 15, 2013 Actually, if you go in game and click on the Advance button in video settings. Then just above the resolution settings there is another setting that you need to disable. I can't remember what it's called but it should improve performance. The only other thing I can suggest is putting all video settings to low then slowly ramp them up until you hit between 40 - 50fpsActually you could try the Radeon site and see if they have a suggested video setting for ArmA 2 for your GPU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ravey 24 Posted January 15, 2013 Okay I've via google that the Radeon 7850 runs between 44 to 49fps at 1920 x 1080 on Very High settings.So either turn down your settings or your resolution for better frame rates Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ravey 24 Posted January 15, 2013 Ah the setting you should disable is "postprocess effects" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ravey 24 Posted January 15, 2013 There is a lot more detail in cities. Plus zombies plus random players wandering around. All this puts a strain on your hard drive and GPU. Just keep adjusting settings until you get high frame rates Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
