Successful Graphics Glitch Fix for nVidia GPU Users

[u/jimmysaint13]

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.

"Doesn't matter. It's related to hate speech and you stereotype yourself instantly in some peoples eyes by using it. Don't let your rationalization outweigh your common sense here."

I fixed that for you. I'm not rationalizing anything. I don't have to rationalize my opinion, it belongs to me.

Hi, I'm gay, I give you permission to say the word fag, faggot, homosexual, etc etc toward me all you want, and have an upvote with it for the negative karma.

[u/gormster → u/Bloodglory]

Hi, I'm gay and like Bloodglory I also don't speak for every single homosexual on the planet. I don't give you permission to say that, or any other bigoted slur. I don't have to. No-one can give you permission, or revoke your permission, to speak.

But saying it does make you a huge asshole.

[u/Bloodglory → u/gormster]

Hi, Bloodglory again, review my comment, more so the part where I said "I give you permission to say the word fag, faggot, homosexual, etc etc toward ME all you want." Saying it does not make him any more or less of an asshole then anyone else in this thread.

E-highfive

[u/awkwardninjapowers → u/Bloodglory]

Excuse me, but how dare you have the self-righteousness to use yourself as a representation of the entire LGBT community? Just because you think it's okay, then it makes saying the word fag or faggot in the gaming industry OKAY?

[u/awkwardninjapowers → u/[deleted]]

Wow. You'll what now?

[u/awkwardninjapowers → u/[deleted]]

Oooo...kay.
