Contains bad link to a static obejct

Recommended Posts

I get the following error message on several missions downloaded online.

"Contains bad link to static object. Open the editor and save it again"

Since I haven't created the mission myself, I don't know how I can open it in the editor to correct the error as recommended it the message.

Besides, the latest post I can see regarding the problem is as far back as 2009. Which leads me to believe it is not a problem any more and I have overlooked a solution.

Does anyone else have this problem or have a simple solution?

Everybody suffer from that. Every time BIS updates their islands, the object IDs are reset, causing missions that use these IDs to give that error. However, on 90% of the cases, that is NOT mission breaking. Of course if the ID is an object that has to be destroyed the objective won't complete, the same for a critical WP that is attached to an ID.

If you are playing SP just confirm the prompt, play the mission and notify the author.

The annoying part with this is dedicated servers because missions with these error are not playable at all on them unless -nologs is used. That's most annoying and BIS should change that.
