overkill 0 Posted January 18, 2008 For some reason my file a10.pbo is missing. I've tried reinstalling ver 1.07 to fix it but it didnt work. Could someone please be so kind as to zip and send the file to me? Without this file I am limited to playing multiplayer only. Your help is appreciated! P.S. if anyone knows how to reinstall this file using the version updates, that is fine too. sedchew@pacbell.net Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoRailgunner 0 Posted January 18, 2008 Nice try, why you can't install the whole game again (= new & clean) ? Maybe you should patch 1.05 > 1.08 Wait... can someone make a little donation (in Euro of course) i like to have castle, some cars and my girlfriend likes diamonds - your help is appreciated!

overkill 0 Posted January 18, 2008 Nice try? Are you implying that I do not have the game? If so how does one get an entire game using one file? You must know more than me! I would have tried ver 1.05 but the a10.pbo came out with the ver 1.07, which I tried. I guess I can just reinstall the entire game, then repatch everything, but I thought I would ask first for the missing file, to spare me the headache of going that route. Also, by circumventing a clean install, I would either have to do a clean install, and add back all my addons, or figure out which files came with the game and which were addons that I installed later. In a nutshell finding the missing single file would be easier than an entire install. Thanks for your help railgunner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfrug 0 Posted January 18, 2008 Did you use one of the "beta removers" from BIS? They remove a lot more than what you bargained for, including the A-10. Sadly, your only option here is to reinstall the whole game and re-apply all the patches. Had this same problem myself, didn't get a lot of feedback or comments then either :P But ah well. If it's not that however, I don't know what's wrong - still sounds like a situation for a complete reinstall, sadly. Regards, Wolfrug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EMSI 960 Posted January 18, 2008 @overkill: It looks like you use a lot of "unofficial" addons and probably you delete some of them (and also a10.pbo was deleted). Best way is to reinstall whole game and then apply all patches to ver.1.08 ... For better work and playing with unofficial addons use "Modfolders" <- click Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
overkill 0 Posted January 18, 2008 Thanks for all the responses guys. Someone else chimed in about uninstalling beta patches that tend to delete some files. As far as I know, I did not uninstall anything, but it seemed to happen right before or after I installed the beta 1.09 patch. As far as my mods go, I'm only using the @warmodsound, TrueAI, THe smoke mod that Matt offers ( forget the name) and Chammys sound mod(which simply rocks BTW). Maybe my memory is faulty and I did uninstall something. You know what they say, the simpliest explanation usually is the correct one, or something like that. Once again, thanks guys for trying to help me out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max power 21 Posted January 19, 2008 If you had the previous beta installed before and didn't get rid of it, it may have messed up your 1.09 beta install. Â You may have some luck with deleting the beta folder (and backing it up) and trying to reinstall the beta patch. Â Usually when you don't get rid of the beta folder, it refuses to install. If you have ever altered any addon .pbo with another mod, that could do it aswell. If none of that works, I suppose you can always try reinstalling it. Â That way you know everythings fresh, new and clean... and you don't even need to get rid of your 3rd party addons or shortcuts. Â Just back them up, uninstall the game, reboot, reinstall, and then put your shortcuts and mod directories back in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stewy 1 Posted January 19, 2008 This has happened to me as well - if you have a trusted friend on the forums, ask them to send you the file. I don't know what causes this - but it's happened to me too Stew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Misfit Leader 1 Posted January 19, 2008 I would suggest you to do a new clean install & patching (better way to get it working well without any strange issue). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted January 19, 2008 This is a troubleshooting issues, moving to troubleshooting. As it is something that can be resolved simply by reinstalling (as tedious as that might be) I think this thread can safely be closed, better that than having to remind people that it's not advisable to be asking people to send files from an installation backwards and forwards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
