Inventory + controls Issue

Hi folks

I'm having a rather 'strange' issue with my inventory screen. If I attempt to open the bloody thing all I get is a single pixel wide line the same colour as my inventory down the middle of my screen. If I access a corpse however, it appears as normal. This is not ideal when you're running from a horde of angry zombies with a desire to felch you... especially if you happen to be bleeding. I don't relish the idea of needing to make a corpse every time I need to open my inventory.

As for controls, I am sometimes experiencing a problem with right click ironsight mode with all weapons not functioning at all and am having my usual 1st and 3rd person crosshair disappearing.

Thus far I have tried the usual suspects.

  • Firstly tried different servers: FAIL
  • Played with various in game graphics settings: FAIL
  • Erased profiles and retried: FAIL (I have one profile that simply will not delete... Through my docs, or in game, hell.. in game there isn't a delete option for it...it's blacked out! I delete it from my docs and it just reappears next time I load. Infuriating ****)
  • Re-downloaded from steam & reinstalled all of Arma 2 + expansions: FAIL
  • Reinstalled my graphics drivers: FAIL
  • Tried a system restore to pre-last windows update in case that broke it: FAIL
  • Wiped my damned system and did a fresh install: FAIL

Now I'm at a loss as to the issue. Played for some time on a good spec machine, never had any issues what-so-ever. Inventory showed all fine, crosshairs were all fine etc. Course, had the usual bugs, same as everyone else, what with items disappearing if they were too big to go in a pack etc. But this new issue has me well and truly stumped now.

Any suggestions folks? This is driving me nuts. Could it be a key binding/interface glitch... if so, anyone know any fixes for this? Could the steam cloud be importing a corrupt profile and overlaying mine; therefore negating any attempt I make to fix it?
