Day Z: Persistant world zombie survival mod - Page 299

I get no karma from this. Please upvote so people can see and also fix their shit.
Okay, I did this and haven't had the graphics artifacting since, no matter what my in-game graphics settings are. I'm running a single GTX 560 TI and Windows 7.
First thing is you want to make sure your GPU drivers are up to date. Go to nVidia's drivers site and find your card and update that shit. No matter how recently you did it, just do it.
Second, go to your Start menu, then Control Panel, and then nVidia Control Panel. This is going to let you configure your card IF you have the latest drivers installed. I'm not even joking about the drivers thing, update that shit to whatever the site says you should have.
Once you have NVIDIA Control Panel open, on the left side of the window you should see "3D Settings." Go ahead and click the "+" sign to expand that down if it isn't already. After that category is expanded, click "Manage 3D settings."
Now, on the main part of the window, you should be looking at a box with two tabs. One of the tabs will be labeled "Program Settings." Click that one.
Click the drop-down menu and you should be presented with this big fuckin' list of programs that nVidia recognizes. If ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead is in there, click it. If not, you'll have to add that shit.
To add ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead, click "Add" (you fuckin' genius, you) and then drill down to where your ArmA2OA.exe is. I have the Steam version, so mine is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead. Select "ArmA2OA.exe" and then click "Open." BAM. You just added ArmA2OA to the list of programs that nVidia recognizes. Grats, you're a fucking technological wizard.
Scroll down until you see "Threaded optimization" and TURN THAT SHIT OFF. It should be set to "Auto" by default, but we're not even going to fuck around with that. Turn it off.
There. You're done, it's fixed. Exit NVIDIA Control Panel, if it asks if you want to save changes, you best save that shit.
Fire up DayZ and go ahead and look at some dead soldiers to your heart's desire (you sick fuck).
EDIT: Hey, ATI card users/wiz kids/geniuses, if ATI cards have a similar setting, go ahead and look into turning it off and see if it fixes the problem. If it does, spread the word about that shit.
EDIT2: Fuckin' S128K DELIVERS with a possible ATI fix. I don't have an ATI card so I can't test it, somebody get on that shit. Here's his comment.
EDIT3: Because a bunch of you were bitchin', I changed the instructions to include how to do this for ArmA2 only and not have this settings change affect your other games. On a side note, now that we know this work-around, maybe it'll help Rocket get this actually perma-fixed. I'm pretty sure he's got that shit covered, though.

A quick google says you should be able to do it with ATI Tray Tools
Install
Right click on the icon in the bottom right corner of your screen
Click on Tweaks
Click on Advanced Tweaks
In the drop down box select Multi Threaded Support
Change to 2 or 4 (Depending on how many cores you have on your CPU)
Make sure the radio box above is ticked
Click apply.

That's a bug from a chopper crash. Whether its hackers or not idk since I'm at work and they block access to it

I have only seen this from hackers so my best guess is hackers and not a chopper crash.

It is a chopper crash, but best bet is that its hackers because no-one else is retarded enough to take a chopper into elektro and crash it. + Show Spoiler +

I'm having some sort of bug that transports me back to the coast with no gear.

I lost end tier twice because of this. It sucks to lose 5 hours of progression to something like this.

DayZ lief?
