Editor no longer places anything when i double click

[Baz 0]

The ingame editor has stopped functioning for me, when i double click my logitech g9x mouse the editor does not place objects or groups or anything... I know it is not my mouse because double clicking works fine in the game except the editor... Like for example i am able to double tap my gun just fine but the editor isn't working...

I am running latest patch with BAF and OA and Arma 2 combined together using the file dwarden provided in his sticky thread for having Arma2 run with OA...

I am perplexed as to why this is happening and I have no ideas how to fix it... I have tried reverting ingame controls to default... and even that didn't work.

It happens on any island and even in Arma 2 standalone without OA...

Are any of you other logitech g9x users experiencing this?

the dialog screen that should pop up when placing units or groups does not for me when i double click my mouse button

Looks like the problem could well be with your Arma2 installation. Posting your system specs would be a good idea if you want further assistance.

Judging by this part, I'm assuming you have the Steam version(s).

This is just a shot in the dark, but have you tried disabling the Steam overlay for Arma2? It has causes a number of problems in the past.

i dont have steam version

i dont have steam version

Which versions of Arma2, OA and BAF do you have then? The batch file should normally only be necessary for the Steam versions.

retail patched to latest version 1.54

If you have the retail versions you shouldn't need to stick them together with a file, it should have happened in the OA install process.

[maddogx 13]

retail patched to latest version 1.54

In that case the solution is easy:

- Backup your user profile, save games etc.

- Uninstall everything. (Arma2 + OA + BAF)

- Install Arma2

- Patch Arma2 to 1.07

- Install OA

- Patch OA to 1.54

- Install BAF

Now you should be able to run the game without using a batch file, and the clean installation should mean that there are no problems with the editor.

Mmmm that reminds me of some others that had similar trouble, make a search maybe. Do you have track Ir or other controllers ?

yeah i reinstalled everything i still have the same problem... yeah I have track IR 4

in the map screen double clicking does not work at all, both in the editor and ingame... like when placing markers ingame on the map... strange, what should I search for exactly? what keyword(s)
