tango delta 10 Posted June 28, 2011 Hello, Just installed ArmA 2 free.. looks like I've got to get the full game now! On the website it says that the free version fully supports campaigns for ArmA 2 vanilla. I've tried a few, but none of them work. On startup, I get a warning that states, that the signature of xxx.pbo is wrong. Extracted under Bohemia Interactive/ArmA 2/Campaigns, which is the folder I created as per instructions. Maybe they need to be re-edited to point to ArmA 2 Free instead of ArmA 2? Signature maybe points to the version needed, and addons etc., dunno. I wanna try a campaign! How?

zooloo75 834 Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) A2Free doesn't support campaigns. Edited June 28, 2011 by W0lle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
celery 8 Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) I'm going out on a limb to say that you are trying to play campaigns that require addons or Operation Arrowhead. Try ones that need only Arma 2. Actually, the game doesn't support any campaigns after all. Edited June 28, 2011 by Celery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
.kju 3244 Posted June 28, 2011 It seems more like a bug, aka BI did not consider and test that campaigns folder is also part of the pbo loading space. Ref: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki?title=ArmA_2%3A_Free_Public_Beta&diff=62438&oldid=62402 http://dev-heaven.net/issues/21040 Let's hope BI fixes it. Voting the ticket may up the chances to see it done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dwarden 1125 Posted July 3, 2011 ARMA 2 Free don't support campaigns in any form ... only standalone missions ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CarlGustaffa 4 Posted July 4, 2011 Yeah, whupsie: Custom campaigns for Arma 2 can also be used. I do see the problem though, as custom campaigns are addons. How to solve? Is it possible for end users to de-pbo those campaign pbo's and play them as standalone missions? Or will it break down completely for lacking data from previous missions? I've done this myself, and added needed stuff that caused problems, but I wouldn't expect somebody new to the game start doing that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zipper5 74 Posted July 9, 2011 If you were to depbo a campaign and stick each mission file into the folder you load missions in the Editor from, then you could play them I'm sure. If a campaign is well-made there should be fail-safes in place for if a variable that's meant to be passed by other missions is not, so they shouldn't break.
