What just happened?? Game restarted with everything changed

[meade95 0]

I just launched A2/OA. Was editing some missions and then went to log out. On log out, A2/OA just hung there....without logging out. Basically stalled screen. I had to shut down. (this never has happened before on log out).

When I just relaunched A2/0A all my mods I have were disabled. I had to enable them again...and my profile setting were all revereted back to "default". Video, audio, profile pictures, etc.....all back to default settings?

Is this a known bug within A2/0A??

do you have multiple player profiles?

if you have multiple profiles the game may have switched it back to your default one instead of the custom one thus deactivating mods and using the GFX options of that profile

No. No multi play profile. Just one profile (I play only SP). Which it kept (in terms of my name). But everything was back to default settings. Odd? Now my ARMA2OAProfile.file (within my, my folders section of my computer) is still there. With the tweaked skill and accuracy ratings.

It is just very odd? That every mod was deactivated and all my settings set back to default (which sucks some because I had been testing of late a few months ago and got A2/OA running great on my system. Though I did not write down what I had everything set at.

ok then, im a bit stumped. if there is a back up of your profile then just try to copy paste it back in.

i keep a backup copy of my profile, but that mostly because i changed the hell out of the key bindings and hate to change them if i have to reinstall

edit: is it possible you started vanilla ArmA2 and not CO?

No. On the Vanilla A2 - That was my first thought when pulling up the editor and noticing only 4/5 maps avaliable. Not Tora Bora which I was looking for. But then I noticed Takistan was there.

What I don't get is when I look at my ARMA20AProfile.file. It has all my tweaked accuracy and skill settings for enemies / friendlies as I had edited them. Not like it was a brand new A2OAprofile.file Which would have had everyone set back to their 1.0 default settings.

I don't get it at all.

Wait a second. It did create a weird new ARMA2OAProfile. I have a backup Profile I saved several days ago and sure enough the settings are diffreent within my skill and accuracy settings for enemies?? Now this is odd.

Oh. Well. I re-enabled my mods and copied back in my couple day old A2/OA profile and all seems ok......huh? But it is incredibly odd that some new profile was created (in that it was one with somewhat changed accuracy / skill ratings for enemies. Doesn't the default profile.file have all setting for enemy and friendly accuracu and skills set to 1.0?
