Micky Nub 6 Posted February 20, 2022 I have been getting the below error message when starting up the game. No DLCs nor Mods are checked. Game is set for the default. error message: addon 'a3_data_f_aow' requires addon 'a3_data_f_oldman_loadorder'. I press OK and the game continues to load without any more problems. Also after the game loads there is no 'oldman' anything, however there is an 'oldman' folder in the Arma 3 folder where the game is installed. Is there a way for force Arma 3 to update or repair? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Open your STEAM client and navigate to your 'Library' tab. From there find ArmA 3, right click on it and then select 'Properties...' After that find the 'Local Files' tab and click on 'Verify integrity of game files'. A progress bar will display, allow this to complete and if anything is missing/corrupt/broken/whatever Steam should automatically download and repair it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Micky Nub 6 Posted February 20, 2022 Well I awkwardly found a way through Steam to verify all the files. Supposedly fourty files were fixed, including Oldman. No errors now. Joy! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glad you're back up and running. At least my instructions will help anyone else with a similar issue 🙂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
