Old Man (Contact) Diary/Map Not Working

Recommended Posts

HELP! Once in a while I can start this game and after a task or 2, they will show up in the Diary. Then they go away and so does the horizontal/vertical lines in the Map. I don't know what to do to get them back. I'm wondering if this has to do with me allowing myself to save the game, but I'm fairly sure this is happening whether I allow that or not.

 

Most people have moved away from this game, so few are around to help me out. Does anybody know if I have to create a script to ensure these 2 things remain intact throughout game play?

 

I have an older computer (32gb RAM) with an old video card (nVidia GeForce GTX 690) . I make sure not to have anything running but my browser, so I can follow Old Man tutorials as I go along and learn how to play, shoot, strategize, etc.

Over 11.000 people are playing this game to this day and there are thousands of messages sent every day on official Discord regarding scripting and modding Arma 3. Your statement is an example of anecdotal evidence.

 

What do you mean by "Old Man (Contact)"? Are you playing the Old Man scenario with Contact DLC (not Contact Platform) activated? It alters a lot of Arma 3 mechanics. Old Man is a pretty buggy scenario alone so I'd recommend disabling Contact for your playthrough. Are you using any mods?

 

OM is prone to bugs when you are loading from a save, however map's grid lines are a core game feature and they stay the same unless you have content altering this stuff or your PC struggles with rendering things. I've seen parts of map disappearing in some specific situations but zooming all the way in and then zooming out always helped. Can you post some screenshots or make a video of how does it exactly look? We can figure something out then.
