Saving - Loading files in MP

[Yandar 10]

From what I can understand its not possible to save games in MP Co-op of the main campaign at will, but only at certain checkpoints. Now it seems that sometimes the game will load it, othertime it will ignore it and start all over again. Is there a trick to get this to work? If the game does succesfully load a game, it will only do it once pr. save file before deleting the saved game.

When it saves a game it stores it in Saved\ca\missions\campaign under filename mpautosave.ArmA2Save but sometimes its randomly delete these files and thus forces one to start form scratch again? Am I missing some setting or what is the trick to get saving/loading to work in MP Co-op. Ive tried taking backup of a folder after a save is made and place it after it deletes but it just auto-deletes the created save file again.

Bump as well, glad to see we're not the only ones. This is a gamebreaker here BIS, it makes one of the big selling points of this game for me and probably a lot of other people completely unplayable without hours of frustration!

the reason i find this so **** is because i was playing the manhatten<<spelling?)) mission with a friend and all we had left to do was attack the main bad guy's base but then me and my friend had some kind of strange lag so i thorght "i know i seen this save not so long ago so we can just restart" and i think you can guess the kind of words bein spit at the game :(

Seriously, the devs should speak out about this. I have not seen them make any posts regarding problems with COOP Campaign. This is the main reason I bought ARMA2 - coop madness in a military themed open sandbox mode! Now if ONLY they can make that experience flawless!

same bug for me! autosave and quicksave DO NOT work.

there is a workaround.

1) use "save and exit" to create working savefiles

2) then backup the savefile!

3) autosave or quicksave will make a NONWORKING savefile! Replace the bad savefile with the backuped file and load the game.
