Can't save games..why?

Recommended Posts

Tried searching and got lots of "load/save games = CTD" but nothing specific about simply not being able to save a game.

Playing a custom scenario I downloaded and was about to sneak into a town and had spotted several sentries. After about 10 minutes of creeping from tree to tree one of the AI merrily stood up , holler "HERE WE ARE" and shot one of the sentries. (forgot to set them to "hold fire" :cool:) All hell broke loose and I had to reload a game that takes me way back..:mad:

This time I crept up and went to save so when I reload I wont have to transport over miles again but it's grayed out. Can't save.

Is this a problem with ArmA2 , the module or what?

Is there a fix?

BTW - loading saved games so far hasn't caused the CTD.

The higher difficulty settings only allow one save per mission. Lower your difficulty unless you're one of those crazy people that enjoys frustration ;)

Or if you enjoy the hard difficulty but fancy cheating a bit by still being able to save, u can always go into the saved file in "my documents" and move/delete the existing saved file whilst your playing the game by pressing alt+tab. The use alt+tab again once this is done to tab back into the game and after un-pausing and re-pausing you will be able to save a fresh file again!

A bit long winded, but its helped me get through the buggy game, as the frustration of it crashing every five minutes got too much! :D

...OR you could turn your game difficulty to regular, then customize the settings so everything is the same as Veteran except allow unlimited saves. Unless of course you like Alt-tabbing out every time you want to save
