Problems with Marksman DLC, lost files.

Recommended Posts

I just purchased and loaded up all DLC's two days ago. Figured it was time to show some support for the game I love so much. The first time I went to try out the Marksman Showcase, it worked fine. The next time I went back I got this:

2015-04-13_00007-Broken-DLC_zpsyo4swbph.jpg

The only thing I did between the first time and this is I loaded the game through Play withSix to go play some multiplayer. The first game was modded...not problems...the next game was vanilla. Then I want back to single player... this was all within an hour. That's when I got the Missing files message, and not the Marksman Showcase will not play at all.

I'm looking for suggestions on how to fix this...replace the missing files etc. I already variefied files through steam, but that didn't fix it.

CA_* is an old ArmA2 reference. Have you recently deactivated AllInArma (AIA) as part of the mods you removed?

Quite how AiA would have worked its way into an official mission is anyone's guess, but poorly coded addons have a way of doing exactly that.

Were you trying to load a saved game ("Resume")?

In any event, try deleting the saved game ("My Documents" -> "Arma 3" -> "Missions" -> "Saved" -> "A3" -> (probably) "missions_f" -> "showcases"

Also have a look in the Arma3.cfg, near the bottom it will list the addons loaded for the last mission you played under "class ModLauncherList"

If it looks odd, delete everything between the first { anfd the last }: but don't delete those 2 curly brackets.

Thank you! You were both right. I had been running AiA for a multiplayer server I play on. I had deactivated it to play SP. I also went in and cleaned out my saved game file as instructed. I didn't see anything in the Arma3.cfg file until after I had launched the game, looked at what was left over in there...that it wouldn't let me clear...then went back to the Arma3.cfg file and could now see what I couldn't see before. Deleted that and now everything is working fine. Thanks again. I love this game, but it certainly has some weird coding problems, that I'm not savoy enough to figure out on my own. I do ok for an old lady, but some techie things are beyond me.
