MissionCreep 12 Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) I use the ArmaII Launcher - it work fine. http://arma2.paro-technology.com/?page_id=7 It also loads faster than straight from Steam as it disables splash screen etc. See here Also it would be helpful for troubleshooting if you mention are running the vanilla Alpha (default - stable) or Dev branch (you opt to have periodic unofficial updates from the BIS Arma3 development team) .

Thanks, i will look into this and let you know if it works for me, and I am running the version bought through steam for 49.99 usd. How do I tell if I am running a certain version?

OrLoK 20 Posted March 25, 2013 Hello there I personally use the Armarize Launcher, but there are many others out there, It's worth peeking at em all to see which suits you and you'll never have to worry about mod handling again. Also if you were running the dev version you most likely would know as you have to manually enable it in steam. Did you opt into the dev/beta, that you remember? If not then most likely your using the standard game. Rgds LoK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snobal 10 Posted March 27, 2013 I am having the same problem as the OP. I have triple checked how I install the mods but every time I go into the expansions section the mods are impermanently enabled. My mate told me he has installed his mods the same way as I have, yet hes able to turn his addons on and off at will. Any help would be much appreciated.

ThreeProphets 10 Posted May 4, 2013 I'm afraid I fucked my game up. I was using the in-game expansions menu, and I now have an error that prevents me from getting to said menu. ---------- Post added at 09:14 ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 ---------- Okay, here's the solution for my problem. In the event you cannot get to the expansions menu, take the following steps: 1. Move all your modfolders OUT of your game folder. 2. Launch the game, and disable all mods from the expansion menu. 3. Restart the game, and check that all expansions are disabled (they shouldn't even show up at this point) 4. Close the game and move your modfolders back into your game folder. 5. NEVER TOUCH THE EXPANSION MENU AGAIN!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nivimar 10 Posted February 22, 2014 I use play 6 updater and I deleted addons. When I go to the expansion options in the game the addons I deleted are still there. How does one remove the Un used addons from the in game Expansion? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mamasan8 11 Posted February 24, 2014 IIRC playwithsix uses a file to load all addons, a plain-text file. Think it is in My Documents somewhere. Or in Appdata. The only time I've seen mods enabled and just those mods appear in the list is when I modified arma-shortcut with -mod=@whatever (maybe til no more text is allowed on that line).
