You cannot edit/play this mission...

[TimeDeatH 10]

Hello, I just got to the 3rd mission in the campaign, I went about 3/4 way through the mission, saved, then left. Upon returning to OA, I went to my campaign missions, went to the third one, clicked continue only for it to tell me: "You cannot edit/play this mission because downloadable content (ca_missions something) has been deleted." I do not have any addons to OA yet (though plentiful in A2), and I never have deleted any of the campaign saves or anything similar. I am running 1.52, with definite up to specs computer (can run high, with no lag).

List of things tried:

Run as administrator.

Are you or were you still able to play the mission, as sometimes that error comes up,

even when all the files needed for a mission is there.

But Im thinking if you started up with Arma2 exe, and not OA then that might happen.

I dont quite understand how that can show up if you didn't change anything,

as the only time that would show up is if indeed you were playing

with something and then tried the game without it.

I'm able to play the missions just fine, it's just if I'm far in the mission and I die, or want to do something else, the save function will not work accordingly to how I explained it.

Also, I start operation arrowhead from it's own exe, and not the arma2 exe, so that is not the problem. When looking around in my profile folder, I actually can't find that CA_missions anywhere, which I found quite odd, because whenever I saved on a mission, it said: "Saving" and would (like saving any other game properly) take a little bit of time for it to be done with that "Saving" state, so it must be doing something.

Edit: Realized CA is the folder, and the missions are all there. The only concern I have is the missions folder is named missions_e, is that correct?

No should be missions

When I changed it to missions, it didn't show any of my completed missions in their. I'll test it with a scenario mission to see if that's the problem.

Note: The E I think stands for expansion, as when I start OA an expansions menu button is shown, and OA is listed under it.

Edit: Testing with the scenario mission only shows that it still will not work, and that missions_e is correct (for me), because it created a new folder called missions_e.

Oh ok, ya you have OA thats prob what the e means then, pretty new to me, as I only have Arma2.

I'm used to usermade sp, and Mp missions, i spend about 99.9% of my time in the editor and on our

Arma and Arma2 server, i recognize the error that you are getting, but trying to find what its related to def OA I'd say.

if the save function dont work like its supposed to , I'm wondering if anyone else is geting a similer issue

like you with e save, if so then it could be a bug, if it is indeed a bug then best to report it.

As for the file missing, only thing I can think of for that error is you actually have to have

something missing or have loaded your game another way where the mission requires

you to have what you had before, but as you said you did the same thing before,

so it could be just a bug with the particular mission,

as you again said that you are still able to play.

My best guess is that it's saving my campaign missions in one place, and then trying to load from another, oh well, I'm nearly done with the campaign anyways. I just beat the From Hell mission, (What a damn tough mission without saving!) I left the mission with no survivors left in my squad, yet in the end, it said minimal casualties :rolleyes: .
