OwentheTyley 7 Posted October 19, 2016 All the scenarios, editor maps, campaigns etc. on my install have had their 'play' buttons replaced with 'purchase', the same as Tanoa would have if I didn't have Apex. Pressing the 'purchase' button on anything other than Tanoa does nothing (Tanoa brings me to the Apex page on steam). I haven't changed anything drastic on my install, but do have a few mods installed. I've tested with and without mods and I get the same results. The files exist, and I know that because I get the background screen with scenes from the game on the main landing page. I guess it might be something to do with encryption? I've verified game cache, uninstalled and reinstalled via steam and that hasn't helped. That said, I was slightly surprised that the conditions (core count etc.) on the launcher still continued, so I guess that there were some files not deleted. Any other tips/solutions? I'm at my wit's end here. Thanks Owenthetyley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OwentheTyley 7 Posted October 19, 2016 Yep, I've verified it and even done a manual uninstall and then reinstall via steam. I'm currently reinstalling once more. Also, Nice to see you here. Played with you a couple of times on the Zeus Community servers. Thanks, Owenthetyley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OwentheTyley 7 Posted October 19, 2016 Well, this second reinstall has at least completely wiped everything, and yet the problem continues. I get exactly what someone loading up ARMA for the first time would get, except the purchase buttons are still there. Interestingly, having checked the multiplayer as well, no servers appear and attempts to host my own fail due to not being able to choose any missions (only purchase them) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ineptaphid 6413 Posted October 19, 2016 Are you on Stable or Dev branch? And do you own Tanoa? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OwentheTyley 7 Posted October 19, 2016 Stable, and yes I own Tanoa and all the DLC. I have just tried updating to dev branch, and it hasn't changed anything (although I got a 'welcome to Arma 3 APEX message upon opening). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ineptaphid 6413 Posted October 19, 2016 Very very strange...Try setting up a new profile in game maybe? not sure why it would help, but you seem to have tried everything else. Otherwise, I would contact BI support : https://support.bistudio.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ineptaphid 6413 Posted October 19, 2016 Good luck Do post here again with an update of how you get on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OwentheTyley 7 Posted October 20, 2016 Well, my problems have been solved. Upon reverting to the stable branch, combined with running as administrator, my problems are solved. Not sure what it was which did it, but it's working now. Thanks, all -- and especially Bohemia support -- for your help. Denvercoder9 out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atztex 10 Posted October 24, 2016 Damnit i have the same problem but with different conditions. I am running a server which doesnt let anyone join who does not own the APEX DLC (same thing with the buttons). I have it tho, so i cannot test it myself. Playing plain vanilla also works but as soon as we play a community terrain, the server doesnt allow any new players who do not own tanoa (saying the map would be depended on the apex dlc - but it isnt. this becomes clear when hosting these missions locally, which works). BI doesnt give support tho, because they say it is a mod problem. Do you have any idea what could help in this scenario when it seems to be server sided?

Otherwise, I would contact BI support : https://support.bistudio.com/ Am only posting because I read you have to post a certain number of times to create new topic. That sounds kind of crazy. They want to avoid spam, so I have to bump old topics? Anyway, that's a useful link. Nice to read the OP had a good support exp. Hopefully, a problem I'm having can be resolved here though.
