I took over Tulga. Then went to Kamashovo. Took that over. Still can't build light vehicle factory. Then moved to Electrovasdoisk (sp). Can't build HQ there. Apparently b/c I didn't capture main hq yet. Went to mobilize my HQ to move it. Won't allow me to mobilize. I have no idea why. Reloaded. Then took HQ which I didn't deploy in electro and drove it back to kamashovo. Deployed it there. Tried to move it b/c trucks and infantry keep getting stuck in it (grr). Can't mobilize it again. I have 18k in the bank now. I still can't build light or heavy vehicle factory. I feel like this game is still in beta even at 1.03. Other problem. BIS fixed medic heal me bug. Problem is that I can't get medic to heal other soldiers that are wounded. I believe manual says highlight wounded soldier / then comms / then heal at medic. Option not available. Is anyone else having this problem in SP? I like the sector takeover missions but there's only 2 for SP. How can I fix these problems? Thanks! more problems. Just found out that I cannot build a new barracks after I deleted the old one. So annoying.

I've looked through the manual and forums and can't seem to find the answers on this. I am playing war welcome and was able to get a helicopter to come pick me up (comms - request transport). I get in the helo and select it (f4 - seemed to circle helo - so figure it was selected). Then I open map with M and then click back on my base. Helo doesn't move. How do I get the helo to take me back to base or another area? Bought a nice hind attack helo on the bear mission. I was able to get in it as passenger (can't get in as pilot or gunner). I have it fly over enemy position and it fires on enemy but really gets ripped up to shreds. I fly it back to base. I create a repair truck and ammo truck. I tell those units to move to my hind. How do I get the trucks to repair the hind? Last bugging question. I hired more than 10 guys in my squad. How do I select guys above 10? I see there's like an arrow to show more guys but I can't seem to figure out how to get to them. Thanks for your help!

Glad you guys appear to have finally fixed the heal me with medic bug. Geesh that was annoying! Thanks a bunch!!

Okay, patched game to 1.42. Running windows xp pro. Playing flashpoint multiplayer and game crashes and gives me an exception that reboots my system. I reboot my system and hop into gamespy. I host a gam and then get the following error in a dialogue box after I launch game: "operation flashpoint: Config: some input after EndOfFile." I went into flashpoint prefs to change my resolution and see if that would fix it. Nope. Tried reinstalling gamespy 1.08. Nope. Won't fix it. Repatched 1.42. Nope. Won't fix it. I don't want to have reinstall the 60+mb of patches (along with a reinstallation of flashpoint) just to get this to work again. Can anyone tell me how to make this problem go away. I can't believe that the game would be destroyed if the system crashed. (the fact the system crashed while playing the game is another story. I'll take the game with bugs that I can fix rather than have a game I can't play at all). Anyone run into this problem?

Couldn't figure out a way to post on tracker either. So many bugs on this mission. I'm on the single scenario where a russian. You have support units at a castle. I can't get the support units to follow me (clue was you hear strange radio chatter coming from the castle.). No command to make them come. I am also supposed to get support from locals on an island. I go to island. They don't give me support although they can tell me what the weather is like. :) But even without those support bugs the worst one is the medic. I am injured. I hire a medic. I go to status / injured. I click on medic. I scroll down to see if there is a way to heal from him. Nope. I crawl to him. Try again. Tell him to stand still. Try again. Nope. I highlight myself to see if there is a way. Nope. I go to strategic command level. Select my unit. Say I need assistance. Nope. Now my medic gets injured. I can get him to heal himself. This game has great potential but not being able to heal at the medic is annoying! But it's worse. Maybe this is not a bug. I only get one save. The game seems to save randomly with no rhyme or reason. I play for like 2 hours and get one auto save. Sooo annoying! Any help would be great!

hello, I was wondering if there was a way for me to manually set my own waypoint on the map in multi or single player? I have to keep opening my map and checking my direction to see where I'm headed. If I'm in a vehicle I usually end up hitting a tree or a wall as a result. I'm still a bit confused on how to target things in a vehicle. I'm driving a striker and my gunner doesn't shoot a guy right in front of me. How do I have him target that guy if I can see him? Enemy movement: does the enemy actually move around in the game or do they just stand still until you fire upon them. It's really a bear to stay alive if they don't even patrol. They run around after I shoot but I'd think that the enemy would patrol a city they have taken. Also, will the enemy try and take back locations? (in multi or single player?) Thanks!

how do i re-enter my armed assault cd key after the game has been installed?

WHen I try to play an online game it says "invalid CD key." I think I might have typed the key in wrong. Do I have to reinstall the game again to reenter the key?

God bless BIS for making such an awesome game and continuing to support it the way that they do. I have never seen any company release so many patches to improve upon the quality of the game and frequently check their boards to see what problems their customers are having. Really a first rate software development company! Now my complaints... Can you guys put in a join in progress option for multiplayer? Can you guys stop the bouncing tanks? How about a way to lean around corners for soldiers? Can you put a distance power meter on grenades like in games such as Sierra's Swat 3 and Redstorm's Urban Operations? Okay, that's all I want. Thanks! (you guys are still great, even if I don't get my wishes granted).

First I want to say that I'm very grateful and impressed with Bohemia continuing to patch this excellent game. It just keeps getting better and better, which will only increase sales of this game. But one problem still exists, which is the first and 3rd person shooting bug. Point your gun at an enemy in 3rd person view at point blank range and shoot at him. You'll miss. Then switch to reticle view "V." You'll notice that your sights are way off target. So unless you are in first person view and usally in reticle view, you'll miss your target. I really wish Bohemia could fix this bug. It's been around since the game has been released and it still hasn't been fixed. Please fix this. You have such a better situational awareness in 3rd person view and it's very difficult to switch back to first person view and shoot the enemy in time before they get you. Thanks!

1. Join in progress and respawn for multiplayer. 2. Make enemy stand out a bit more and perhaps less accurate (the AI is so freakin evil in this game. They just lie down and camp while you walk past them and get shot. 3. Â No more falling through walls inside houses (no more clipping.) 4. Â Make your AI use cover better. 5. ABILITY TO LEAN AROUND CORNERS!! For goodness sake, how many soldiers jump around a corner to see what is going on? Â How many humans would walk around a corner knowing that someone that doesn't want you alive is point a loaded gun in that direction?? Â 6. Â A way to bypas the intro screen for flashpoint (like with spacebar). Â I love what BIS did with this game. Â But I don't want to be forced to wait for the beginning credits to roll by in the game every time I start it up. (Edited by angrysquirrel at 11:42 am on Jan. 4, 2002)

You guys RRRRROOOOOOCCCKKKK!!!!! Keep on rockin in the free world!!

I just kill my entire crew and then drive the vehicle by itself. I know, not a good a way to fix a problem but I'm not a programmer.

oh that sandbag thing. I would love to see someone put a map together that makes the sandbags just high enough so that when you kneel, your head and gun are just above the bag. Kind of like they do in real life. You know...cover?? That's gotta be my biggest annoyance with creation of Mapping Tool"l shootes (i.e. swat 3 and urban ops). If they just tested the game and said, "gee, that object isn't really giving people the Mapping Tool"l cover they need when they kneel.." and then they fix it, that would be really nice.

Dude, your webpage looks all garbled on my computer screen. What's up with that?? I would like to see that RPG you're working on. I REALLY wish BIS would get their act together and release that SDK. Then we would stop whining to them about having them release more mods for the game. They could then just work on maybe some kind of mod activator (like they have in swat 3 or urban ops) that you could click to enable or disable. That would be very nice indeed.

Jim's sound pack is very good. I tried that other guys sound pack and it didn't work on my system. All kinds of renaming files and backing up stuff. No good for me. I just want to install it and play. Have all the bugs worked out with the install shield first. I would really like to see someone pull the weapon sounds from Ghost Recon and put them into Operation Flashpoint. Ghost Recon really sucks so if someone could at least put the sounds into a decent game, then Ghost recon served it's purpose. (just a database to pull good sound files out of. :>).

I agree. I thought that was going to happen to me in the demo. I was shot and couldn't walk. Thought some guy was gonna jump out of the UH-60 to get me. No luck though. Shame on you BIS for making such a realistic game!

That is a funny mod...it made me laugh...bright colors....on desert canvas.....

Wow Kegetys, Your add ons are really cool...pardon the pun If BIS actually looked at what modders are doing with their game, maybe they'd release an SDK to make people's jobs here easier. Just awesome....

I have been playing this game since the european release (and I'm in the united states). The game is in my opinion one of the boldest endeavors and accomplishments in computer gaming history. Never have there been so many things you can do in this game. I remember when I first played the demo and all the guys were running for the chopper. I was shot in the leg and was crawling to the chopper. The game was so well polished at that point that I literaly EXPECTED someone to get out of the chopper, run over to me and pull me in. The immersion level is amazing! And I applaud BIS for their hard work and continual dedication to improvements to this game. They don't have to do it but they still work on making this game better and better. You guys should be the standard for dedication among software designers. You rock!

does the program come down in a self extracting file? I hope so because if I ever need to either reformat my hard drive or reinstall ofp I would like a way to reinstall red hammer

It's pretty sleazy that codemasters will release the download version of the game way after they release the retail upgrade of the game. The only reason they are doing this is to make more profits on this upgrade. I can't see any other legitimate reason for doing this. Of course, codemasters will say some crap like they're doing this for licencing restrictions. The game has already been released in Europe and the United States, so just release the download now and to everyone. It's just greed, plain and simple.

Thanks for the update!! BTW, you guys ROOOOCK!!!! And thanks for checkin in with us. This is why I go to the BIS site instead of the Codemasters site. Mwwhwhahahahahahah!
