    I've managed to replicate one of the ways to break squad logos. It seems that any use of the '-profiles' tag has a chance to mess with your client's downloaded .paa files. Almost seems as though it's not looking in the correct position, because all downloaded logos correctly end up at the -profiles\squads folder.

    The answer to your question is :

    Vista sucks balls

    Xp and 7 do not

    After almost 2 years of using Vista, I switched back to XP for the lols.

    Quoted for truth is all need be said.

    But seriously... turn a few things off, disable a ton of services and a tweak here and there and Vista can be a great OS. Compared straight out of the box, I don't know why i brought it, maybe DX10 looked shiny at the time.

    Bah, as was pointed out in another thread others cant see it. I dragged the file out to see if the new file would download again and it did but corrupted like before
    You know, I'm wondering if it is just an issue with where we are hosting the files, obviously the game can read it so it is either something to do with how it is hosted or how it is downloaded.

    Could be, I went through 3 or 4 hosts before mine started working. If you want you can PM me the files and try 'em out on mine? (temporary of course)

    Nice, I'm still not sure what causes it, went through a couple of old squad.xml's I had that were having this problem and I just couldn't make it happen.

    Just wondering, can you see anyone else's logos? I remember not being able to see any when I had the problem.

    I tried using your .paa file and it did not work.
    In the end I had to manually save the logo

    I had exactly the same problem about a year ago, thing is I tried a ton of things at the same time so I'm not sure what fixed it. Your logo (TGMedicSM.paa) is definately uploaded correctly. I'll mess around with mine when I get the time, see if I can screw it up.

    I opened up the logo.paa file from that URL, 86kb, yet TexView shows the image as empty? Better yet, GIMP is picking it up as a .tga file, but won't let me open it.

    I'll PM you the link to a .paa file (tested and confirmed working).

    Also, delete your squad's folder from the Application Data folder, as ArmA will (might?) jump on that before looking for a new one, assuming the folder's there for a reason.

    Vista:
C:\Users\~~~\AppData\Local\ArmA 2\squads\
XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\~~~\Application Data\ArmA 2\squads\

    "logo.paa" Uploaded it, changed the squad.xml to point to it and still not working.

    Guess that rules out the image.

    Here's my squad.xml, copied and pasted directly from notepad.

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE squad SYSTEM "squad.dtd">
<?xml-stylesheet href="squad.xsl?" type="text/xsl"?>

<squad nick="Sgt">
 <name>Sergeant</name>
 <email>n/a</email>
 <web></web>
 <picture>logo.paa</picture>
 <title></title>
 <member id="idhere" nick="Bhaz">
   <name>namehere</name>
   <email>emailhere@gmail.com</email>
   <icq>n/a</icq>
   <remark>n/a</remark>
 </member>
</squad>

    I didn't delete web and title, they were already blank.

    If i had to throw a guess out there, I'd be thinking either the odd character "/" in your squad nick, or the title, which is meant to show as text under the image.

    In ArmA1 i had a problem where my firewall wouldn't let ArmA download anyone's .paa files, including my own. Found this out when my mate says "look at this guy's squad logo", then I realised I couldn't see anyone's. Might wanna jump in a public server and see if anyone can see yours (and vice versa).

    Also, you could try out someone elses working files just to rule out a simple typo or corrupt file.

    Check ArmA2's folder in Application Data, it should have a "squad" folder containing your squad's .paa file, if it doesn't it might be having trouble finding the file. If it is there, you can try deleting it to let ArmA redownload it.

    Also, I'm using a dynamic DNS address for my squad file, and I found it only works with "http://address" rather than "http://www.", something about URL wildcards on the server.

    Having not played the SP campaign yet, what is actually wrong in it?

    I've heard many bad things... is it the slowness I've heard about or just lots of bugs? or both?

    I'm planning on playing with two other friends, how many people are supported in the campaign in coop? 2 or 3/4?

    Thanks,

    Yapa

    4 people are supported in the campaign.

    You might get problems where you completed a mission but the next one doesn't become available, which is solved with the campaign cheat. Also, reverting to a save causes "receiving..." problems to the clients, solved by rejoining.

    Why is your ground so wavey?

    I'm guessing you're referring to the ground "moving" when he looks down to the ammo crates. Really weird bug, I sometimes get it aswell.

    Come to think of it, I've always had it, even in ArmA1.
