Thank you for this created guide. I tested on my rig and confirmed 1.18 would work on Nvidia processor but wouldn't display correctly on Intel Integrated graphics card.

So the required setup needs to be done in the Nvidia Control Panel application, select Manage 3D Settings, under Program Settings tab, at 1. Select a program to customize: search for the entry ArmA (arma.exe) then at 2. Select the preferred graphics processor for this program: set i to High-performance NVIDIA processor, the click Apply.

Then you're golden, 1.18 on Nvidia graphics card works like a charm...

hello, you are right. but at the time I was making this guide it was necessary

[FromShambleSdl]

you dont have to turn the auto updates off i have done this and it works through steam

[Love]

;(

As steam has removed the "do not update" option; you can just run a shortcut of arma.exe and NOT through steam. Still works.

still this bug because noone is updating this game anymore... i guess this ís only way to solve it
