Unofficial, unsupported troubleshooting page for Windows Vista 32-bit and Windows Vista 64-bit.

Getting ArmA to run properly on Vista


Known Issues and Resolutions

64-bit Windows with 4GB RAM, black loading screen

  • Until either Bohemia Interactive, Microsoft or the Video Card producers come up with a solution, you can workaround this problem by limiting your System Memory to 3GB by a simple change of settings and a reboot:
    • Press windowskey+R, and run msconfig
    • At the boot tab, pick advanced options and put maximum memory to 3072
    • Reboot
    • You can also revert the setting by above method to get your full 4GB back
  • More methods might be listed soon, together with a method to get a selection screen at system boot up to pick "Normal Operation" and "Limited to 3GB"
  • More info on boot parameters available below, in the section Related Links


D3DX9_30.dll Not Found

  • Check above for the DirectX9/10 redistributable, this resolves this issue.


When shutting down the game, you get a bluescreen "Process has locked Pages"

  • This is a problem confirmed with X-Fi cards and their drivers. Driver Release 2.15.0002 resolves this issue. Or you can add the startup parameter -dsound to ArmA Shortcut but other weird sound problems might arise in that case.


After a shortwhile I get weird textures and models

  • Make sure you have adjusted your startup shortcut to include -maxmem=512, in some cases it might be nececairy to tweak it further back. Try 384.
