I have the same problem as below, for example, if my friend wants to exchange his weapon with mine, he will drop his weapon & ammo on the ground and but when i pick them up, my existing weapon will disappear.

I thought that by picking up a weapon on the ground or body, my existing weapon in my loadout will swap out, but no it just disappears.

Sarge;2186245']Hey' date='

for some weeks now me and some of my Clan members are having a very annoying issue.

Since Beta Version 93415 and up to the actual Version 94444 the ammo / weapon crates and the gear loadout are acting strange.

with Beta 93398 everything is fine. I tested all the Betas back to these versions and 93415 is definitely the one the problem starts with!

Be aware, it ONLY happens in Multiplayer, no difference if Vanilla or not....only MP!

The thing is this, in the loadout screen you can replace weapons and gear from your loadout by doubleclicking the list on the left side (or the content of a crate i.e.). a fast way to switch weapons or maybe replace a HE rocket against an AT rocket.

starting with this beta the weapon / ammo you had in your loadout disappears when you doubleclick on a new item! Gone. no chance to get it back. So this is really annoying when you doubleclick on a Stinger and you had a Javelin on your back before......because the Javelin launcher will be gone forever!

if you drop the gear with "drop" button, everything works fine, but this is no option for me because it takes to much time and is not very comfortable to use.

Could you please fix this?

No need for Demo Mission, just load this beta or newer, start an MP session and try to change gear by doubleclicking on the new item. You will lose your old weapon and cant be recovered from anywhere.....and no, its not lying around on the ground near the crate.

every member of my clan with this Beta or newer has the same Problem.

Please fix this!

thanks

EDIT:

but maybe its exactly the same problem my mates and I are having. Would be nice if any of the developers would have a look at it. thank you[/quote']

This is a very old issue, I believe. In Warfare, such as in A2 Badlands, your original weapon vanishes if you select (or "buy") another weapon at a captured strongpoint.

There is still a issue/bug with AI not using their AT weapon if the enemy vehicle crew is turned out (eg: crew on safe/careless mode). Good fix would be if they would use their AT to damage/destroy this vehicle and only shoot with their rifles/machineguns if hit/kill percentage of the enemy crew is above 90%. As player its tricky/"unhealthy" to use AI AT assistance if they don't switch to their AT but instead - shooting with their rifle. Hope that BIS devs do play a little bit more with and against AI - to observe + improve AI behaviour, AI weapon usage and AI threat prioritization ingame. :)

OMAC, that's a mission specific glitch. In Badlands or Dogs Of War, both Warfare based missions, the standard USMC weapons are not configured in the mission settings. The bluefor camps/city centers/factories are CDF. Therefore your M4A1 "vanishes" into thin air if you try to buy ammo for it.

The bug ryan80 reported is a totally different cup of tea.

yup I think what you mean is something else I'm facing.

In my post I mentioned which Beta patch started the issue.....going to test actual 94700 now, theres something with magazines and weapons in the changelog, but I'm not sure if that will resolve the bug

Ok I literally typed this 20 minutes ago and whoops, wasn’t logged in. lost it all. ..So now after 3 beers I will type this thing again…Within the capability of my knowledge I have trouble shot this thing the best I could. So far I have only the conclusion that 94444 is the issue. I have a retail copy of ARMA2 CO. I have steam installed but have never used it, literally. I only downloaded it to see if Day of Defeat was still around. In my library it shows no games and I have not used it for multiplayer or any other possible function with ARMA 2. I did use steam to update my video card driver. I use a virgin game, no mods. I will provide a timeline of what happened and the steps I took to work through it. This only started happening when I downloaded the DayZ mod. However through trouble shooting I have realized it is the beta 94444 that seems to be the culprit. I know they are having huge issues right now, but my problem seems to be due to the ARMA 2 beta version and irrelevant to other solutions for people that have experienced the same error codes. My PC specs are as followed

Windows 7 premium home edition with service pack 1

Intel i7 2.93ghz cpu 64 bit

8 gigs ram

ATI Raden HD5700 with current drivers

Pinned in my task bar are two shortcuts, one for ARMA 2 and one for OA. Both have no mods and my OA shortcut has the following target line "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2oa.exe"

This shortcut creates the error, my arma 2 shortcut at

"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2.exe" works totally fine.

Here’s how it started and the process I went through.

I heard about DayZ only yesterday, so I downloaded six updater and dayz. I ran it through six updater and had no problems at all.

This morning I played around with my key setup in the mission editor of OA launched using my shortcut referenced above. I had no problems at all. I continued to play dayz through six updater with no problems as well. I backed out and about a hour later launched again with six updater and it notified me that dayz had an update. I updated dayz, then the problem everyone had hit me. Stuck in loading character mode. However now when I went to load ARMA2 OA through my shortcut I received the graphic error.

I launched again via six updater, I could not connect so I disconnected from the server. Backing out to the main menu which allowed me to go to single player. I went into the mission editor and ran into the following problems. I was not allowed to select Men or Soldiers of any kind via the drop down menu (see attached pics). I selected a helicopter and when I launched it only showed a view of the scenery (see attached pic) I was not able to control or change view or use any of the keys.

I backed out and did the following to trouble shoot. I deleted dayz, attempted a launch and had the same problem. I then deleted the arma2/expansions/beta folder. Walla! I can launch using my original shortcut. I restored the dayz folder through my recycle bin, launched fine.

I re installed the beta 94444 using the original download, not the restore from the bin. Same error. Removed dayz again as well as 94444. I re installed 94444 without dayz, same error. So logic says bad bad 94444! I felt it important to type it again so you BI guys could know what’s up. Maybe it’s just some random thing with my config or PC but it’s about as vanilla as you can get. Even with adding SU and DayZ. I’m not bit$&ing or complaining. Hell I’m old, 31 and ordered OFP in 99’ from Europe just to get it early. You guys have a lot to do, but maybe someone can help me with this. That way I can spend more time watching the stripper pole instead of just trying to get a game to work. Yes the last pic is a stripper pole in my kitchen! Back to beer, cheers and thank you again in advance! - Mr11B

Hello, i'm having a problem with my 19444 patch.

I've downloaded it 4 times, always from the original link or mirror, and everytime i try to install it, it gives me a message like: ARMA 2 RFT PATCH - Wrong CD Key after it gets to 100% of extraction.

And then, if i press OK and continue with the instalation, it wont install because i've tried to join some dayz servers i used to play that which are with the 19444 version and it gives me the "Bad Version, server rejected connection".

My arma 2 and Arma 2 OA are both from steam, and i do have its CD Keys with me, but i just don't know what to do to prove that.

I did also resolve this issue to an extent. I deleted the DayZ folder, launched OA using the OA Beta shortcut in my ARMA 2 folder. Everything worked fine. However when DayZ is installed the above errors occur. So I deleted the mod all together with all the issues they are having. It's all still pretty strange though, especially since prior to the update everything including DayZ was functioning properly. I have the same issue with 97000, once again resolved by deleting the DayZ folder.

Interesting... Similar symptoms, different problem.

@MR11B

Think i had the same issues with starting OA from my desktop shortcut after installing a new dayz patch with sixupdater. "Couldn creat direct3d..." and if i started six launcher to get to OA main menue i could try to start the campaign (or anything else from the maingame) but it crashes to desktop. Found a txt file in ...\arma2\Expansion\beta that helped me solivng the problem.

" - You are running the Arma2OA.exe from your "Expansion\beta" folder.

- You have "Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion" in your modfolder as in -mod=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion

example: "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead\Expansion\beta\armaOA2.exe" -mod=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion

- Make sure the shortcut's "Start In" section refers to main "ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead" main working folder and NOT "ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead/beta"

example: "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead" "

so i added the -mod=expansionblahblah to the shortcut and now i can start from desktop again. :) Only weired thing i could not proceed the oa campaign mission3 (several dayz errors occure?!) and hat to start at mission 2 again. But now i can resume mission3 in the campaign. Hope it will Help you.

Excuse my bad english...:D
