Game Starts in task bar black screen...
New, WishlistPublic

Description

When I start my game it goes to black screen. I have to alt tab to windows and then click on task bar Arma3 window. I have to wait till it fully loads in order to start anything. This might also have to do with my Caps lock button while in game exiting to desktop and then back again to game. Does not happen with development build either problem. Caps lock issue reported another issue. apears to be a graphics conflict but unable to load different GPU driver due to laptop hardware. Alienware m17r1 pre dell.

I have researched and found other users to have same problem as me. The solutions were -nobenchmark startup, update drivers, disable audio drivers, etc. none have worked so far. The game ran well during alpha but beta has pooched my setup. My laptop was built 2009 by alienware. They sold to dell and nothing is covered by dell support. I have an extensive network online that offers self doers to get best performance by moding certain perameters. My conclusion so far is that beta modified start up perameters in regards to computer hardware drivers. Maybe a list of hardware such as mine was not accepted. System requirements for GPU is ATI radeon 3830. My GPU is mobile radeon 3870 x 2. There is a possibility that one of my GPU's is failing but only failing with Arma3 beta startup is unlikely. Something is corrupt with my system goona have to do an extensive report. Lastly, I created a different user and got a firewall block from WinVista64. Weird why windows would do that...
