Placing my saved custom compositions doesn't work

Recommended Posts

As the title says I can save custom compostions in the sense that I get to see the saving interface.  But in my profiles folder where all my missions are saved, the folder named "compositions" (without the "" ofc) stays empty.  The path is I have tried if this folder is accessible by the engine by putting custom compos from mods in there and THAT works fine - I can place these in the editor.  If I try that with any of my own compos, they appear on the mouse cursor @ 1st click, but the 2nd click can't place them - they stay on the cursor & can't get down on the 3DEN map.  Either nothing happens or I get the reaction of a doubleclick: game engine wants to place soldier or vehicle units and offers me a list window for that.

 

Does anyone have experienced similar problems? Or does anyone know where to look for (user) errors? 

 

THX in advance for any helpful tips/solutions

There seems to be a problem if there is a folder that uses double-byte characters between the document folder and the composition folder.
I was really happy when I discovered this on my own ...

 

I would appreciate it if you could refer to it.

Solution is pretty hard but its true, you need to change your name of the user folder (C disk), there is multiple guide how to do that, arma doesnt take the russian/arabic/chinese/ etc letters as normal ones and cant find your user profile folder. Thats the reason why the compositions are not saving.
