1.60 Issue with New Respawn Menu AFTER Save/Resume

[bigshot 64]

The new respawn menu stops initializing after resuming a  mission. Instead of the menu appearing you just respawn at the base.

 

Here is the error being thrown when dying after a "resume":

 

23:39:05 Error in expression <ontrolsMap_shown") || (time > 1)};
if !(BIS_RscRespawnControlsMap_shown) then {
>
23:39:05   Error position: <BIS_RscRespawnControlsMap_shown) then {
>
23:39:05   Error Undefined variable in expression: bis_rscrespawncontrolsmap_shown
23:39:05 File A3\functions_f\respawn\fn_showRespawnMenu.sqf, line 53

 

The new respawn menu appears and works fine as long as you do not save and resume a mission.

BIS please fix so new respawn menu is compatible with save/resume as the old respawn menu was working fine in 1.58.

*Update* - also...after a save/resume and then dying...sometimes instead of getting the error posted above, this will happen:

 

The map screen will open upon dying (without the re-spawn menu however) and then you need to end-task the game as there's no way out of the map screen at that point.

Exact same issue here..

anyone know of a work-around for this bug, that would allow me to keep using the new respawn menu system after a "resume"?

I'm afraid we need to wait a fix from BI. When you resume, you just load a .save file . It's not a complete mission start with init files running. So, all your added scripts shouldn't work. BIS_RscRespawnControlsMap_shown is probalbly a variable false/true and BI omitted to set it for the resume cases. Probably nil when you resume. If someone can find a way to set it to false (or true) before resuming...

...was just hoping for maybe a line of code to place into either my init or even some temp event handler maybe that would get saved during my auto-save scripts that on a resume the missing info would still be there...figuring it out for myself is just beyond what I can do right now...don't have nearly the time or inclination I used to.

 

It would at least be nice to know if BIS sees this and are aware the issue exists and will be fixed, etc.

bump...

 

...still can't use the respawn menu after resuming a saved mission. Crashes Arma 3 map screen with no way out but to CTRL+Alt+Del end-task the game.
