Can't get squad to mount vehicles?

[rolls 10]

How do you get team members to mount vehicles? If I press tab to select all members then click on the vehicle it just goes 'all, observe that x' and if I do one by one eg f2 f3 etc and select 'get in hmmv' and press enter it just goes '2, observe that hmmv' no matter what I do they will not board any vehicles, making playing the game almost impossible. Also if I tell my squad to move there the game often crashes to desktop.

Any hints guys? Also for some reason if I have the exe called cyrsis64.exe it crashes when I try and get them to mount a vehicle, however with it called arma2.exe it just says 'observe that'.

It's definitely not fade as everything else in the game works fine and I'm using a legitimately purchased version.

I got a similar problem, while i can get the squads to mount vehicals, etc, I cant get them to do it unless i point at the vehical. For example, leaving a helecopter with an AI gunner. Running a distance away from the copter and the unit still inside.

There is no option to tell the gunner to mount as a pilot over the radio, and so I cant get the copter to pick me up. I could do this in arma 1, but cant find a way in arma 2? Does this new menue system remove this ability, or am i missing something?

Are you holding ALT by any chance?

No should I be?

edit:

Tried pressing alt, just gives me the option to make them halt, suppress etc. Also telling my squad members to move anywhere on the map caused an instant crash to desktop, does this both in windows 7 x64 and windows vista x64.

If it CTD that sounds like your language files are mixed up, it did that to me when I installed them incorrectly and radio commands didn't match up. To test this theory, go in game and press 0, 5, then pick under fire or injured, if it doesn't match up to what he calls out then thats your problem. Then again I am retarded so follow that info at your own risk.

This seems to be the problem, the commands don't match up with what they do. How do I fix this, could someone send me the english language files for the 1.02 patch?

Try to select unit then push 4 then select chopper then select position in chopper, gunner, pilot, anywhere

I have this same problem. Completely reproducible, every time I order my squad to move anywhere it crashes to desktop.

Only since 1.02 patch
