Guess Who 10 Posted July 31, 2012 Installs as a mod so you just start OA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[frl]myke 14 Posted July 31, 2012 Erm...sorry for the dumb question...did you installed it? After that, just start your normal A2CO and it should be active by default. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Snafu- 77 Posted July 31, 2012 It doesn't work if you load up with a mod. You need to start vanilla and then activate the mod(s) you want through the expansions menu in game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mf5756a 1 Posted August 7, 2012 I added -mod=ACR to the target line and it worked for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankbuster 1740 Posted August 7, 2012 For some reason, it doesn't load itself up like the other DLCs do. You need to load ACR as an addon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Janez 522 Posted August 7, 2012 I noticed that it doesnt load up itself if I use custom profiles path parameter. If I start main arma2oa.exe and let it create its own profiles folder in My Documents then ACR loads up itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawndartleo 109 Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) This conversation seems to be going down the appropriate avenue so I'll post here... Launching ArmaII with a mod launcher (e.g.:http://sierrasoftworks.com/arma2ml) results in the DLC not being loaded. Just for reference, here is my start string for Arma2ML.... "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\ArmA2ML.exe" -oa -y -option=noSplash -option=noFilePatching -option=showScriptErrors -mod=@ACE -mod=@CBA -mod=@mcc -mod=@RQ -mod=@MCN All the necessary mods are loaded by that line except for ACR. So, I add -mod=ACR and it loads, but the main screen icon for ACR is now the same as the one for BAF. By all appearances, ACR is loaded as the maps and units are all available. I have an annoying ArmA ding (you all know the cowbell sound) about every 5 seconds in the main UI, however, and that tells me something is not quite right Why is it that BAF and PMC load just fine with AO even with a launcher but ACR does not? Is there a fix? **************************** Just as a follow up, using a command line instead of a launcher, all looks well so its simply a matter of the launcher not being compatible. Anyhow, I used... "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2OA.exe" -noSplash -noFilePatching -showScriptErrors -mod=@CBA;@CBA_OA;@CBA_A2;@mcc_sandbox;@RQ-11_Raven And BAF, PMC where there but ACR was not. So I added ACR to the string.... "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2OA.exe" -noSplash -noFilePatching -showScriptErrors -mod=ACR;@CBA;@CBA_OA;@CBA_A2;@mcc_sandbox;@RQ-11_Raven .... and all works as expected and the correct icon is displayed. Adding ACE and the rest should be a piece of cake.... but a lot of typing. Edited August 13, 2012 by lawndartleo more to say.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
