Slarticus 10 Posted June 21, 2009 A friend and myself were trying to start a coop for the first time and after the cutscenes and the speech on the ship we go into the briefing room and the speech finishes we should then be taken to the briefing but the screen just goes black and we can still move around but no loading occurs. We have played multiplayer games on other servers and have even hosted our own multiplayer games without issue. Only the coop seems to give the black screen so far. I searched for other threads on this topic but so far not found any useful information to resolve the issue. Does anyone know of a way to resolve this or is it just a bug we eed a patch for? There seems to be a few bugs that people are experiencing just hope they can be resolved as this game could be very god with a bit of tweeking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WarProph3t 10 Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) Confirmed. Happened to me too. Did you use the english mod found in this forum? I did, and I wonder if that had anything to do with it. I'm gonna run a test right now. Update. Can't repeat the black screen problem without someone else with me. With or without english mod running, it works fine. I'll try again later when I try with a friend. Update on update: Was just on a coop campaign hosted by someone else. Hosted on patched 1.02 505 release. Black screen for all four of us.

Cifu1978 10 Posted June 21, 2009 Same situation here. Two workaround what i found: 1.: Play over the first mission in single player (in SP there is no such problem). After this, you can choose the mission Into the Storm to play. 2.: Ask some one to get a save game. The save are placed the "C:\Users\USER NAME\Documents\ArmA 2\Saved\ca\missions\campaign" folder. Copy the folder, and you can choose the mission like to play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bordercontrol 10 Posted June 23, 2009 I've had the exact same problem on 2 separate occassions and as a result have now given up on playing through the coop campaign. Such a shame as myself and a few friends were really looking forward to doing that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shadowraven 10 Posted June 23, 2009 I get the exact same symptom, I am hosting on windows 7 x64 all ports are fine and lag isn't an issue since were trying to play on a direct LAN hopefully this will be resolved in patch 7.3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cifu1978 10 Posted June 24, 2009 Well, there are many things to fix in this game... :( I'm hate to see the useless dedicated server things, for example, you cannot play the Co-op campaign on dedicated server. You only can host. Well, perhaps in Czech Republic the upload speed is least 10 Mbit/s, but i'm only have 512kbit/s upload, and with 3 people on me, we lagged to hell.... :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
