These games have never run well for me (fps -wise) and I've always had issues with missing / flashing textures.

Do they ever fix them?

The only thing ARMA 2 needed to be perfect was a Bad Company 2-like destructible physics model. Oh, and less command-general type missions an more awesome small squad special forces type stuff, those always rock.
