Cannot load saved games after installation of 1.05 Patch and EW Campaign

[russkly 0]

This has happened before, but just in case I'm not the only one experiencing this problem, I thought I'd post.

After installing the very welcome 1.05 patch and EW campaign, I have started the latter just to see what it's like. Looks very interesting, although I need to learn to fly a chopper again after months of no bootcamp training while playing Harvest Red!

Problem is that when I now try to resume the Harvest Red campaign (Dogs of War), I get an error message: "Cannot load D:\ArmA 2 Other Profiles\Russkly\Saved\ca\missions\campaign\continue.ArmaA2save".

Click "OK" in the error box and back to desktop!

Any ideas what's happening, why, and what I can do about it?

Appreciate any assistance.

Cheers.

You'll need to restart the mission.

Thx, Deadfast.

Did I not read the release notes properly?

Wasn't doing very well anyway!

Cheers.

It took me a while but I found this line in the patch's readme:

It is generally not recommended to use any savegames created in previous versions.

Thx again, Deadfast.

For clarity, this means that I have to "Revert" to the start of "Dogs of War", but not to the start of the "Red Harvest" campaign, right?

If the latter, I will kill myself...

You only have to "revert" the mission you are playing atm. Not the whole campaign. This is standard procedure when applying patches since it changes the game and it needs to be initialized properly. The only way it can do that is by restarting (reverting) the mission you are on.

Thx Alex.

Thought that was the case having patched during Red Harvest previously, but it's good to check.

Just in case others have similar concerns.

Cheers,
