Steam upgraded my Arma3 today without my permission and now my saved games for user missions don't load. How can I get around this. How can I revert to the version I had yesterday or can I update a saved game so that it loads?

This is screwed up. I played a scenario last night, saving games regularly for about 2 hours. Got up this morning to play the same scenario and it didn't say "resume" like it does normally. All the saved game files in C:\Users\me\Documents\Arma 3\Saved\steam\hunter%20six%20-%20special%20operations%20unit.altis have been mysteriously deleted. The mix of any game and Steam is a cluster****. So what do I have to do make a batch script I click regularly to save my saved games in case either Arma or Steam wipes them out. Unbelievable. My lack of confidence always comes and goes with this game franchise over the years regarding problems. Just been reinforced. *sigh*.

Thanks for the suggestion. I pasted "Arma3Legacy174" into the beta code and it confirmed that its "now available". I don't see anywhere in the game's interface where I can make use of yesterdays version. I found it. Open Steam right click Arma3->Properties. After pasting into the code box and clicking Check Code button, Arma3Legacy174 appears in the drop menu above for the "beta" you want to opt into. Now you have to wait until the game you had the day before download again. Beta my ass, it was the game I played yesterday!

Steam upgraded my Arma3, I never asked to be upgraded. It wouldn't play the game until it upgraded. Now I start Arma3 and my saved games from user missions say not compatible. What the hell. Can I either revert to the version I had before or update a saved game file?

This DLC ruined my saved games. I spent countless hours saving games from user missions, now can't use any of them. Thanks Steam for forcing this upgrade.

Thanks for the tip.

Not only that why is my name not capitalized and why can't I fix it :( Oh nvm I thought you were talking about forum names.

I've changed my password a dozens times and the Store login is still stuck in a loop telling me for security reasons I need to change my password. I click the link in the header, I change the password, it sends me a confirmation, I go back to the site I enter the new password, it logs me in then stops and says for security reasons I need to change my password. I've already emailed the Support contact for the BIS Store months ago and their brilliant idea was to make sure I click the link in the email. Seriously! Every time I change the password it updates the forum password so I know it works on the forum. I bought TrackIR and wanted to buy take on helicopters while I waited for A3 but I gave up and have been throwing money on Planetside 2 for cheap thrills. Can someone please fix my Store account login.

Even if the "where are you" "report position" is cosmetic it is annoying because they are lagging behind, why can't they move the **** up? The fact that they can't keep up to me pisses me off. I'm on point and they can't keep up leaves me vulnerable in an ambush. Why do I have to wait for their sorry asses, can't they run just like me!

You could make one in the editor. You could download one and extract then put in editor and lighten up it's difficulty by removing some units etc. then export. ---------- Post added at 16:50 ---------- Previous post was at 16:43 ---------- http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?155795-CO-03-Overwatch

I've played it a lot. TheHunter.com is the most photo realistic 3D environment I've ever seen. Heck if you enjoy hiking it's fun to just explore the environment it is that good. 85% of the game's need for power goes straight into its environment rendering, 10% in animal AI and maybe 5% or less in the player, speculation on the numbers but I bet I'm close. ARMA or any FPS won't achieve this level of photo realism because there is so much other stuff the game needs power for, they have completely different goals. Agreed, even if you don't like hunting, I recommend everyone download this freebie and spend a couple hours in it.

This looks like a great Coop to use for a friend I just introduced to the game. I'm having difficulty though. The Pilot squad member #5 never gets in vehicle and never joins the squad. Never regroups or accepts any commands. He always says he will comply but never moves. Since he seems to stay anchored to his original position he's always nagging me to report my location.

I don't care about battle eye and Multiplayer. I only care about giving a friend a key and doing a Coop mission running on a server I host on my own PC. At least that would help gain new player fan base. But just giving a friend a key and say here you go play by yourself and figure it out on your own. Hope you buy the full version adiós. BIS should have made it so that the only way the Alpha Lite user could do Multiplayer/COOP was if My GUID was on the same server as theirs to enable their Multiplayer.

The trigger for the new waypoint doesn't work if you don't take the correct weapon and ammo. I went through a lot of trial and error.

Nothing happens after getting equipment. No trigger or waypoint change. :(

@StrongHarm I haven't tried the mission yet but was amazed at the helicopter control in your video. I flew helicopters back in BIS's OFP with a keyboard and mouse fine but Arma 3 I find it much more difficult. Probably because BIS has done a good job representing how a helicopter flies and is controlled. However, I don't understand how a helicopter works, so cyclic this and cyclic that of the controls doesn't explain to me how each control affects how it flies. Are you using a keyboard and mouse or joystick and foot pedals? How do you change your angle of attack without increasing forward momentum so much that you fly past everything you're trying to fire on?

Maybe you should watch the video :). 1:20-1:24 is a clear view of outside below my position, there is not one pixel of me going through the floor.

I just tried it with a Teleport script. Killed one then Teleported far behind them prone next to crates. Sure enough they barely moved toward where I fired from and where they saw me and instead 4 headed to my new position, with 2 killing me. I even went again but teleported twice after it was obvious they were closing in on me. It took a while but 2 changed course and headed to my second teleportation. :(

"I tried hiding in a house and they more or less went directly towards it and a bit up on the hill behind so they could shoot me through the window." Crafty cheaters aren't they.

OMG, here's a cheater AI if I ever saw one. In typical fashion they knew where I was without seeing me but to add insult to injury they killed me through the floor. The AI is so smart they know how to use a collision exploit. :mad: Thankfully I had Fraps on record. I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it. I was in TroopMon map view looking at their movements then noticed the AI was either in the building or under it so I went back to 3RD person view and he crawled under the building came to a kneel which popped him above the floor then took a shot at me. Then he turned around tried it again and killed me. What the hell. That's crazy. BIS needs to tell these bots that is cheating. lol 1. How did it know I was in the building? 2. How did it know precisely where I was prone in the building? 3. How did it know to crawl under the building? 4. How did it know to go from prone to kneel in order to shoot me while under the building? Due to the bug of knowing position is one thing but why didn't it use the door? They truly are OP.

I have killed the team leader and not the team leader at the outset and have still been tracked through many walls buildings and hills. As long as 1 AI stays behind and gets promoted to leader it doesn't matter who you kill initially. Even if you do something that doesn't invoke the bug it doesn't mean that it won't be invoked another time. I have noticed some randomness myself. I'm hesitant to say this or that will definitively cause the bug because after multiple tests it proves me wrong. All I know is it's easy to reproduce it as long as there are at least 3 AI in a formation and you kill 1. If the formation has more than 3 you have to at least have 2 alive before you run away.

You got it all wrong. 1. You bought a game that has NOT been delivered yet. Saying you bought a buggy game is ridiculous. 2. You paid for the final release, you DID NOT pay for the Alpha or Beta. 3. You get to download the Alpha and Beta as a perk to buying the final release early. What you have on your computer right now is NOT the game and calling it "the" game is misguided.

I've had this for version for a month now, will this never be updated? Will it go straight from this version to beta?

I thought that's what I was doing. So you're saying there is a real Alpha and a fake Alpha. Why two Alpha versions? How did I get stuck with the fake Alpha? Shouldn't steam be sending me an updated Alpha!? "Arma 3 Supporter Edition" "Alpha-access" "Be one of the first to play Arma 3 and contribute to its development by providing feedback." Haha but you don't really get the Alpha just a fake one to make you feel special :D Oh maybe that is why my feedback got ignored, they know I have the fake Alpha. Dammit.
