leehwgoc@gmail.com 7 Posted July 11, 2012 Just wondering if there is a known best-optimized driver for ARMA 2. Since it's a 3 year old game, it's plausible there are older drivers that run the game better than the latest ones. That's frequently true of older games, in my experience.

Headbucket 0 Posted July 14, 2012 I can't say anything about old drivers.But since I have installed version 12.6 the game often stops for 4 sec. and minimizes itself. Then I see my desktop but still hear the sound from dayz. I can also shoot... . But I cannot maximize it again...I have to kill the process and start it again.Before this version I played a long time with 12.4. Today I deleted the new version and installed version 12.4 again. Hopefully it works!It would be interessting if anybody else got version 12.6 and the same error? Or maybe no problems with this version? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EO 42 Posted July 14, 2012 I've updated to 12.6 with my hd 6970 and not had any issues to report......so far! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joulesbeef 4 Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) I have 12.6 and a 5870.. I have same issue with strange minimizing. I dont have the 4 second stop and I can simply alt tab or click the icon to bring the game back... except i shoot my gun every time I come back from this.. which is highly annoying and dangerous for friendlies.it isnt the windows key or any sort of typo as it had happened to me without me touching mouse or keyboard.(hey it was one of my best guesses for a while)Pretty sure it isnt even arma or dayz.. If you google arround a lot of people have this problem, sometimes with many games, sometimes only with one. Nearly all have ATIs.. the solutions arent always the driver either.. sometimes it is due to AV software.I havent tracked mine down yet, but havent put a ton of effort in it yet. I happens every once in a while but no one has gotten killed yet and I'm normally not thinking about it when I am done playing.anyways try disabling things like AV, sleep mode(yeah i know), maybe get toolwiz(nice little free proggy that does more than it should.. and has a gaming mode which turns off everything for you like aero desktop.. it's just like game booster, so you can expect similar weak results for FPS but if your minimizing is a problem it is worth trying.)

EO 42 Posted August 5, 2012 I run an HD 6970 with 12.6 drivers and don't have any issues, i could only suggest if your having probs roll back your drivers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steevz 0 Posted August 5, 2012 I was using 12.6 then upgraded to 12.7 beta drivers, both didn't have the issue your experiencing.You need to do a clean uninstall of your drivers and installing 12.6 over 12.4 might have caused your issue.Powercow, if you hit Esc, then Alt Tab do you still shoot?
