[r3411y 0]

Here is the fix

Download Arma Tools : http://www.kegetys.fi/arma/

Open file,take cpbo.exe and drag to desktop

Right click, open as administrator, it will install

Leave the program on the desktop

Go to your @DayZ folder

Go to addons, the right click on dayz.pbo, select extract

You will see a folder named dayz, if so, then delete dayz.pbo

Right click on the DayZ folder you just created, and select create pbo

leave the folder there, exit, and start dayz

Problem solved :D

Bump

You bump it after 1 minute? Seems kind of desperate. I just fuck with some graphic settings and it fixes its self.

Anyone who has a consistent problem with it confirm that this works?

[Patient Zer0 39]

So extracting a pbo and then packing it back into a pbo without altering anything inside will fix this problem?

Seems unlikely. Can you explain in detail how or why this works?

[TimKuchiki 9]

Does this work? Is it safe?

Doesn't work, don't bother trying.

Well, it worked with all my and my clanmates issues, i dont know why it worked? But we were going through the config files looking for dead soldiers code, then we didn't do anything about it when one of my friends repackaged it and said all of his artifacting is gone, so i did i and it worked. May not work for some, i don't know, i just wanted to share what fixed my and about 10 other's issue's.

Sorry if it didn't work for you, may work for some, not for others?

Also, some people with ATI, i heard a driver was released that cut down on graphical artifacts? I happen to have a Nvidia card so i cant check myself.
