16.10 update seemed to have fixed it. Even on a fresh install before I still had CTD's. Side note: Arma 3 runs way better in 16.10 using windows mem allocator if anyone was interested o:

Thanks for the reply, thought I never would get one. Is there some crash or dump log I can find and post with this? Recently I've been noticing a lot of my games don't/won't run fullscreen because they freeze instantly or just black screen on the main menu. Could this be a processor issue?

For the longest time the 15x drivers from AMD worked wonders in SF2. I'd only crash because of terrain loading (that hope killing 80% loading CTD) on some community made maps like Korea and Green Hell. But now I can't even get into the menu without hard restarting my computer, even if I did get the game to close it'd still run in the background and refuse to close. But when I do get into game I don't have that problem until I either quit or complete a mission. Another thing is when I know it's gonna happen SF2 loads instantly, usually takes at least a minute or so to boot to the menu. Recently the 16x drivers, the 16.9.2 driver to be exact, haven't been agreeing with SF2 lately. Mainly the black menu deal, or black menu after a mission. Alt tabbing is a no go, I uninstalled mods and reinstalled, tried with no mods, tried reinstalling the game, ran it admin, ran it outside the C drive, ran it in a folder with no security restrictions, ran it without the AV on... You get the idea. I do have 5 full installed and merged and I do play all my games in separate folders for eras/sides. My crappy rig: R5 240 w/ 16.9.2 Drivers AMD A4-5300 HD 3.50GHz Dual Core Win 8.1 x64 8GB RAM stock Foxtech Things I've done in BIOS: AMD Cool n Quiet is off, S4/5 state is off, Precision Clock is off Oh and please don't tell me get a Nividia... Can't afford them. Other than that I'm at a miss here. Here's my options.ini for Israel for example:

Try using model enlargement. It's under gameplay settings, it slightly magnifies aircraft and vehicles. Really helps if you have a small screen, but also won't nuke your computer with that urge to turn up anitaliasing if you have a big screen because of screen tearing. But if you don't want that you're kinda out of luck, unless I'm missing something. I've played DCS on a mild rig and I still had problems engaging targets within 10-5 miles without having to turn up MSAA to 8 and stare at the pixels on my screen trying to see if it's a MiG or Sukhoi. But don't feel bad man, I'm bottle necking so freaking hard on my R5 240 that turning on the LITENING pod and Maverick cam would end my frame's life. Sometimes you have to choose over handicaps over frames.
