Graphics Card Malfunction

[stonewall1350 16]

I have had problems with the graphics card as soon as I installed DayZ. I used the dayz commander. I have the NVidia GEforce 9800 GT. I found some stuff to help fix it online, but I really couldn't find the information.

The short version is I had no graphics problem with my Arma 2 and Operation Arrowhead on first install. Once I updated the files though...I had graphics problems. Can someone please assist?

Do you perhaps got some screenshots of what is happening when you try to open the game? Could you describe the problem a bit thoroughly

Yeah, could you describe the problem? Is it artifacting or... ?

I will get some pictures. I dont actually know how to take screenshots, but I can video the issue with my phone and post that up.

It figures that as I went to do that last night...it didn't do it.

Fraps-it.

9800GT. Try nVidia Control Panel<add OA.exe. Turn off threaded and vsync. Done wonders for my nVidia card.

If you use the Steam version. Verify the local cache and try again. InForum Guide , DayZ Wiki , Start-Up 'tweaks'

If you're using Steam then the default bind for screenshots is F12. Failing that, something like Fraps would be perfect. I don't think ARMA II has it's own screenshot feature unfortunately.
