CTD on Loading

Recommended Posts

OK, here's the SITREP...

I'm playing an ArmA mission when I make a mistake and get shot.  When I am given the option to Load and Load Auto etc., I try to load (can be Load or Load Auto depending on which was most recent), and the Splash screen comes up.  When the progress bar at the bottom reaches 100%, ArmA CTD's, and it isn't until I try and re-start ArmA that an error message comes up saying the it is unable to load the save file (doesn't say why)!

It's somewhat distressing, as difficult missions just got a whole lot harder goodnight.gif

Hard to tell what could be the problem since as you say there is no reason told in the error message.

Have you tried the latest 1.09 beta patch? Apply it, then restart the mission and save the game and then try reloading it.

You also could check if the arma.rpt file gives an indication on what the problem is causing.

You find it under documents and settings\username\local settings\application data\arma

Checked the file, and it just says the same as the Error message:

Cannot load 'C:\Documents and Settings\David\My Documents\ArmA\Saved\campaigns\ca\autosave.ArmASave'

Patch 1.09 just screwed my ArmA and it wouldn't load at all, so I've had to get rid of that one...

Failing this I re-installed ArmA, and I have norrowed it down to having all my addons enabled at the same time.  I counter this by playing the campaign with no addons, but a new problem has arisen...

As a keen mission-maker, I rely on a lot of addons for realism, but this has just been restricted.  Anything that borrows a config doesn't show up AT ALL.  For example, the TDMG RAF harriers are re-skins of the original BIS AV-8, but neither the Harriers or the AV-8's show up.  It is the same with the Vilas Cobra re-paints and the default AH-1Z. wow_o.gif  help.gif  sad_o.gif  huh.gif  crazy_o.gif  mad_o.gif  confused_o.gif  goodnight.gif

Just make extra shortcuts, some loading no mods at all and shortcuts for the addons you need

It doesn't matter how I do it though. I recently downloaded the newly-released F-16, but it doesn't show up in the editor because some of the code is aliased to the default AV-8.

As for the campaign, that's what I have done. I'm using the default icon with Queen's Gambit only for the campaign, and am using Kegety's ArmA launcher to start my mods. It is the top few lines that are the main problem, but only since I re-installed ArmA. eg. the TDMG UK units are showing in the editor, but the Landies and Harriers (aliased to the defaults) are nowhere to be found. The strangest thing is that they all worked before I re-installed ArmA, leading me over to it being something to do with my Dta\bin.pbo file.

ATTN: CASE CLOSED!

FINALLY!!!

Narrowed it down to the  pistols.gif CWR Mod yay.gif

Unsure why but it removes everything fairly modern from the game, such as the Cobra and the Harrier. I've just disabled it and everything is now fine.

Thanks ever so much to everyone who's helped me out here, I'm really grateful. rofl.gif
