Rearm not loading

[bigmanoncampus 1]

Hi

I have updated my TOH through steam to the patch which has rearm. However when I load the game I cant find where the new additional rearm content/missions are. How do I launch into Rearm?

Thanks

I have been having the same issue since I bought ReArmed. I have Arma 2 and OA installed in steam with no addons to either, TOH is also installed by steam yet it doesn't recognize them? I wish someone could say what registry entry or config file ReArmed is looking at for the location of Arma2 and OA.

I have gotten it to limp by using the 'Set Launch Options...' in the properties for TOH in Steam and putting this in the line

"-mod=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2;C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead;C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\take on helicopters;Rearmed;Hinds;Noisecontrollers"

YMMV, as Takistan never works for me and I get a "Addon 'CAAAir_BAF' requires addon 'CACharacters_E'" when starting the application, even with a fresh install of A2 and OA with no addons after wiping out the install folders.

After much todo, I ended up fixing this. I pulled the following files out of C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\Common (which shouldn't have been there as PMC and BAF are not installed)

I then dumped C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\Expansion\Addons

into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\Common

While using the mod line from my post above, this appears to make it work 'properly'. Best of luck!

G'day bro here is another solution similar to Slot. If you have ArmA II and Operation Arrowhead (or either Combined Operations

), you need to update them both to the latest patch (it works for me). But if it still doesnt work, then check if your TOH is installed in Program Files and your ArmA II installed in Program Files (86x). Im not sure if these solutions will solve your problem, but you can give them a try.

Kind Regards, Ranwer. :)

edit: if its Steam then make sure your ArmA II game is updated.
