Can the British Forces add-on units be enabled for single player open play? The "units" option is greyed out.

Jimm, that latest beta patch fixed the non-start issue and I can now run both AO and BF. Thanks. I don't have to start as admin with the newest beta patch. I'm running AVG anti-virus. All else at default settings.

Jimm- do you have a link to the beta?

I am unable to start AO or BF. AO was running fine prior to the last patch. I've tried installing and reinstalling 3 times, as well as logging in as Admin on Steam and doing the aforementioned suggestions. The game integrity has checked out fine about a dozen times. Something is seriously nerfed somewhere. The error for AO is: "ARMA2: Operation Arrowhead failed to start: error code 83" BF just doesn't start. I'm running the Steam version, Windows 7 64bit. Xeon 2.8ghz dual processor. ATI 4800 series. 6 gigs of RAM. Latest drivers. No oddity installations with Steam install, nor mods etc. Completely straightforward method of install.

In all of my missions, I can't seem to use the "T" key to switch team positions. This is in the campaign and warfare modes. The interface shows up very quickly when I hit it, and then disappears so fast I barely see it. This is a pretty necessary function for those times when a team-mate gets hung up on something. It may just be that the team switch is disabled for these two game play types (though I can't see why). Could I have inadvertently hit something to stop this function from working? I still have it set to the correct (T) key in the options menu.

I've just played through this mission for a second time, and am unable to proceed to whatever is next. I have taken all of the 4 towns and done the two tertiary tasks. When I have taken the last town (I was sure to do them "in order" the second time around), the cut-scene plays (where I am speaking to the beat up villagers on the bench). Once the dialogue has played, I am able to move a little forward or back- then I jump back to the original spot in a loop. No end of mission kicks in. Anyone have any better experience with finishing this mission? It seems like it's got a bug. Besides that, this is a damned fine game.

I am able to set the waypoints for subordinate units, but this video (go to 1:00 mark) shows more complex movements, waypoints and the ability to "fly" through the terrain to see how these play out on the ground: I also don't have the text on the top right that lets me know the unit's composition. Are there other key commands that enable these commands? Alt-space is the one that I know of. I also see toggles for artillery (and a few others) on the right of the screen in map view when I am in high command mode. How are these utilized? Thanks for the help.

I think that worked. There seem to be two separate branches, and I used the one that made sense with what I had done in the previous scenario. Thanks for that fix. It was very frustrating to be stuck, since I was enjoying the campaign so much and wanted to keep going with it.

Awedar, how do you extract the PBO file and which file is the correct one to extract? Thanks for the help.

The other two optional tasks didn't help with the bug when I did them. I've seen a few other posts on this, so it's not just us.

I'm having the same issue. The two forces are allied at the time of the last cut-scene that gets stuck.

I have just completed this mission, and had the final cutscene run but it doesn't proceed. This is actually the second time I played through it to be sure I hadn't done something wrong- but the same result has happened. Anyone else able to finish the mission?

Got it sorted-the mod selector program had installed itself as "Operation Flashpoint" in my Codemasters folder-thus nothing loading. Ran it, and it's amazing. Great to be down on the ground level. Back to set up a few more battles, and I'll be back to sort through the forums a bit more. Thanks for the mod and the help!

Great looking mod! I have been meaning to reinstall OFP for this for some time, and finally got around to it. I see some of you around the MMG CWBR boards as well. Problem- I can't seem to get the mod to start (I'm using the launcher, not the shortcut method). I'm getting an error that says: "No entry 'cfgworlds'". Anything I need to swap around? I installed as per the prescribed method, and the requisite folder is in the Operation Flashpoint folder. Thanks.
