Texture Issue

[CC440 0]

I'm having an issue with getting high res textures to work. I have the paid version of ArmaII and OA from Steam, purchased at separate times.

The only texture options the game is giving me are "low" and "normal" which makes the game look like ass. How do I get it to load "very high" textures?

after installing mine showed by default as high, so maybe it displays settings based on your spec?

i dont know for sure though

what spec you running on?

i5-3450, 8gb RAM, HD6950 2gb, 1920x1080 120hz monitor, and Windows 8 (might be the problem).

I'm getting terrible texture pop in, light strobing, and some textures close to me revert to the absolute lowest option.

windows 8 developer release?

running an alpha release on windows 8 will be a seriously grey area, so i wouldnt know where to start.

ive got win 8 on vmware but dont run any games on it

So I just dropped back down to Win7 because of several other issues including the lack of compatible logitech drivers.

It fixed all my issues with ArmaII so for anyone running Windows 8 Consumer Preview, just don't, it isn't 100% read for gamers unlike the Win7 beta a few years ago.
