Saint Warrior

Hi all, I need some help with Lagushina arrest as I play ArmA II through Combined Operations. In original game that woman would stand by the church in Krasnostav for ages and in CO her red VW Golf is there but herself she is gone. I have to say that I have blown her car with SMAW though. I can't find her neither in Gvozdno nor in Olsha, or anywhere on the road. Would anybody give me a hint where this woman could be? I would like to catch her very much. :D I have completed all other mission objectives but do not want either to revert or cheat with END MISSION code. Thanks.

Hello all, I am having problems with autosave in Badlands mission of Harvest Red campaign in ArmA II: CO ver. 1.57. The game is saving and autosaving OK during the mission but kicks me out of the game with crash error "Cannot load save file" if I quit the game after taking second camp and want to resume the campaign. So I had to revert the mission to it's beginning. What should I do here? Try to pass the mission in one sitting without any saves or there is another remedy? Please help me, I am playing original campaign for the first time (finished OA so far) and it's getting more and more interesting for me. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi all, I don't know what to do here. My healthy teammate Nr. 4 (on the right on screenshot) is creeping on the ground all the time and does not want to stand up in Badlands mission. That happened after he was wounded numerous times during the battle but I healed him and as you can see his icon is green, he is fully geared and loaded up. I tried "7" key "Safe", "Stand up" commands as well as "Return to formation" and "Regroup" but nevertheless he goes on creeping. I still have one village to capture and I can't take that creeping bastard along as he is delaying my team and maybe surrounded and killed back there. What should I do here? Is there any remedy to make him stand up and move normally with the team? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Hi BIS, Could you make the RPK-74 use 45 round plastic mags instead of present 75-round drums in the next patch? Or make the drums be 90-100 round at least? Cause there where never any 5.45 x 39 mm 75-round drums for RPK-74 in reality. That is absolute nonsense. Don't you know that 75-round drums were used only for original 7.62 x 39 mm RPK light machine guns and were compatible with AKM/AKMS assault rifles? Thanks for understanding, I just want to say that a simulator like ArmA 2 should be technically accurate.

Guys, I wanted to ask some question here. Sometimes (though quite rare) my ArmA 2: CO freezes down and stops responding. I switch to task manager and see that arma2oa.exe is using 2.2 GB of RAM (out of 4GB generally available and 2.75 GB actually seen by OS as it's Windows XP 32 Bit) at this point. What is this a freeze because of RAM shortage or something else? I have 2GB of video RAM GDDR5 on my HD 4870 X2 and Crossfire is enabled. So I don't think that game should be lacking any memory here. My CPU is Phenom II X4 940 3.0 Ghz Black Edition and I have 1.5 TB HDD. I am running the game on all normal settings (they seem to be most optimal to me) and 1680 x 1050 resolution and 100 percent 3D resolution with Vsync disabled. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

As for me Lagushina has never entered any of my vehicles, neither LAV-25 nor HMVV. She always travels on foot and you have to escort her on foot. Same goes for the Chedaki informant in the last mission, while Lopotev will gladly enter the helicopter to fly in. It's a completely different AI behavior though situations are identical.

PoorOldSpike, thanks for the great review. Maturin, I am not running any mods or third party addons, just plain original ArmA 2: CO 1.57 with BAF 1.02 and PMC 1.01. I have switched AI to max level, maybe that's why it's so aggressive.

It seems that you have a bug there. Did you try reverting to earlier save? Also on the edge of the forest very little ahead the LZ there is a Chedaki base which will attack you as you try to appoach the LZ. You should eliminate them in order to trigger the chopper evacuation.

I have BAF and PMC installed with my copy of ArmA 2: CO. Could anyone tell me whether Reinforcements contain any other content different from that we already have in our copies of CO, BAF and PMC? In short is DVD BAF and PMC different from downloadable BAF and PMC in terms of campaigns, missions etc ?

ArmA 2 Combined Operations is definately worth buying. I don't play online but I just love the original campaign as well as Operation Arrowhead and DLC campaigns. There is plenty of fun in the mission editor and single missions. In terms of single player this is an absolutely greatest single player gaming experience.

Yes I have tried everything but this problem cannot be solved by any command. I fixed it only by ordering him to get into a parked UAZ and ordering to disembark afterwards. After that he started following my orders again and walking normally. So getting unit into some vehicle or equipment is the only solution in this case. This bug happened during intense combat, the unit was holding defense in a house that got heavily bombarded by Chedaki grenade launchers as well as their BTR.

Hi all, Sorry if this question has been posted numerous times before but I cannot find a solution in the search how can I rearm my teammates in warfare missions. I have captured Rogovo, Pogorevka as well as Stary Sobor in Badlands and my teammates are absolutely out of ammo now. I can buy weapons and everything else but nothing works for giving them to my team members. I have tried everything - putting weapons in UAZ and moving teammates close but no option to rearm appears, dropping my own weapons on the ground but no option appears for my teammates to collect them when they are selected by ~ or F1, F2, F3, F4 keys. Please help.

Many thanks Grunt, you really helped me I re-armed all my team. The only problem is that one of my teammates is creeping all the time, he was wounded several times during battle but I healed him twice, so he is well I guess. Nevertheless he is crawling while other teammates walk normally, I tried ordered him to regroup, to get back but he continues to crawl and delay my team. I remember old OFP had a command option to order either to keep low or stand up is there anything like that I can do here in my ArmA 2: CO? Many thanks in advance.

I have 4GB RAM and 2GB memory on my HD 4870 X2 graphics card. I play on all normal settings with Vsync disabled and on 1680x1050 resolutions and with 1.57 patch CO uses up to 2.2 GB RAM sometimes. But I don't think that huge amounts of RAM will improve performance in this game. It starts lagging when CPU has to calculate multiple AI actions so everything depends on CPU here.

I say just because all other weapons are accurate but RPK is left to somewhat COD weapon style, without any difference what model it is, what cartridge it uses and what is it's magazine capacity. If we stay using 75 round drum magazines as it is now it should be 7.62 x 39 instead of 5.45 x 39. With appropriately more stopping power and heavier weapon ballistics. RPK is a great weapon and by far my favorite one, it's more accurate than regular AK, you can carry an RPG along. Is that difficult for BIS to either change magazine capacity (magazine model) or chambering?

Hi all, Could anybody tell me how could I navigate to the specific coordinates on the map in ArmA II CO 1.57? So far my GPS (right CTRL+M function) is acting like a map only. Is there any possibility to enter the required coordinates to GPS and navigate there? Any tips would be much appreciated.

Thanks guys now I understand I should rely only on what GPS is showing. The matter is that there are lots of tips about Harvest Red campaign with various coordinates where I can find specific objectives but I have to sweep half of the Chernarus to get to those coordinates.

Thanks Hanzu, I found her at 14:50 PM standing by the red brick house as you mentioned in Gvozdno. It seems that destroying her VW Golf does not affect her game behavior in any way, she just walks all that long road home by foot and that's all. She does not disappear fortunately. :) Extracted her by the Hind already, fortunately I loaded all my guys with SMAWs and M136 at Manhattan so those Chedakis attacking the LZ did not stand a single chance. BTW, it seems to be more convenient to take her from Gvozdno and escort for 1000 meters through plain terrain field than taking her from Krasnostav.

Hi all, I would like to ask if anybody else is having some sort of sun reflection on scope optics (HOLO sight) when trying to aim down the sights (holding breath)? You can still see through the scope but it's it reflected and difficult to aim. I am running original ArmA II Harvest Red campaign through Combined Operations 1.57 and it is the first time I noticed this. I have never seen this neither in standalone ArmA II nor in Operation Arrowhead. Is this a feature implemented in newest patches or I am getting a graphics bug here with mine HD 4870 X2 Catalyst 11.2? This happened in Chernagorsk assault so far. Thanks.

Thanks a lot for your tip, I will disable it.

Hi all, Could anybody explain me what triple buffering does if it is applied over ArmA II:CO in graphics card control settings? I have turned on triple buffering on my HD 4870 X2 and now I have somewhat of a bit better and quicker texture loading in-game. I mean textures load faster and on greater distances. I am playing on all Normal settings with disabled Vsync. Thanks.
