hi sick, ive just tried downloading and running seal team 6 1-2-3 and 4. 1-3 was the gold version and 4 was the latest non ace version. i am getting 2 major issues and a few weird script related errors in the campaigns the first is when i try to load some missions after the error " you cannot play or edit this missing as it is dependant on content that has been deleted.ard_acu_anf1". the other issue is that some missions result in a complete hang with no eoor and i have to shut arma down in the task manager. these issues do not crop up for every mission. i have tried shutting down addons 1 by 1 and it doesnt seem to help.currently im running a profile with just the seal team 6 required and optional rh mods activated, including all maps required for all the ace versions. an example of one such issue is the first mission in ST6 4 where it crash's where the missing file error pops up, and the intro repeats and this is an infinite loop untill i crash out. i then used the campaign command to unlock all missions and skipped to mission 2, where i ran into another issue. i am supposed to halo half way across the island from what i can tell. however, the second the mission starts i get immediately get ejected from the plane. i was damn lucky to even make it to the island. the issue is that i ended up having to attack the bridges in reverse, and if i follow the script as it is being executed, i have to blow both bridges and leave myself stuck on the far side with no crossing. i am currently trying to find a work around for this, but needless to say there appears to be a major issue there. will ofc keep you notified of any more i find as i play the missions i can get to load up without error. any thoughts you have as to why im getting these errors, or possible fixes would be greatly appreciated. again, great looking campaign, really enjoyed the first one i played based in duala/takistan and am really looking forward to getting stuck into as many as i can if i can get around these bugs. thanks from one evil son on a ***** :P

i got to say, bohemia aint being to quick to respond to the email i sent them regarding this issue (email send same day as post was made). since i posted this, ive reinstalled game twice, and the issue persists, and still i havent even recieved an email from bohemia acknowledging that they recieved my query as to why arma 2 is now no longer working in multiplayer mode, let alone a possible fix. highly dissapointing.

im not sure if a thread for this exsists, i could not find one anyway, but .... since applying the most recent patch (1.4), i cant join any servers. when i go the server listings, most servers appear as a red x, some servers still show. when i try to join a server, i get an error "connection failed". when i then go back to the servers listings, all of the red x's are now showing correctly with server names and ping and all details viewable, but i get the same connection error with every server i try to join. i also noticed that if i then refresh the list, my game version goes from version 1.45 to version 0.00 showing in red. single player is fine, saves load fine, game runs fine, better than it ever did. i can host online games, though i dont think im viewable on the listings, as no1 ever joined one of my games, and i dont think im that unpopular :j: any1 got any ideas? ps, im a pc technician by trade and ive checked everything at my end for system errors to see if theirs a problem, such as tcp/ip, dns, sync, firewalls, routers, etc etc etc, and i cant find any issues, and i could ofc play without any issues before applying this patch.

this is a love hate relationship. i love bohemia for having the balls to push pc hardware to the max, and not selling out with arma by dumbing it down so it cud function on the xbox/ps platorms. in this they have rewarded the pc users dedication. whilst initally i was very critical of bohemia, and i stand by what i said back then, that the game was NOT ready for release, i do feel that the patches have fixed a hell of a lot, and single player is now enjoyable, without the game bugging to a not progressable point every 2 mins. i am however sorely dissapointed at the selling of the flashpoint franchise, and now its on xbox, the game is dead in the water, dragon rising is a total insult to the history of flashpoint, which was, in in some ways still is, one of the best games ever made, period. but thats a little off topic. i dont think the heavy scripting works very well for multiplayer, and i would like to see them try to seperate the single player and multiplayer sides of the game, making the multiplayer a little more arcadey, more fire and forget. but apart rom the crappy server lag , bad sync issues, and heavy scripting, this is still, the best true clan based, serious gamer first person third person game in exsistance of the genre. there is one thing i think they missed out on in this game. flashpoint, the ancestor of this game, was a lot more free roaming, with more access to a variety of vehicles. if it moved, you cud drive it, it it shot, you cud shoot it, and if you cud survive, you cud get to it. in arma 2, your a lot more restricted, with a lot of vehicles being damaged, unarmed, out of fuel, or just not having vehicles there. although i love in multipolayer the veriety. in single player is just not there. no jets to have fun with, no russian gunships, just no variety. i can understand bohemia's point of view, they wanted to push the envelope of both realism and performance, and in this objective they where certainly succesful. kudoz to you guys, but do try to bear in mind, that it is a game, not real life, and when pushing the envelope, keeping in mind the gamer occasionly likes to step back from all out brutally real warfare, and enjoy getting into a a-10 tank killer, or an russian hind, and blowing the smegging hell out of some slag scum, not becoz it achieves a given objective, but just becoz they are there, and youve got weapons, and it feels soooooooo good to blow the crap out of slag fools! lol xD thanks for all the hard work, the improvements to come, and for pushing the envelope to the max, while other fools sell out to the soul destroying, market monopolising, sons o' %%^$ over at microsoft. p.s, i noticed some ppl say that they will think twice about buying games from you in future, but i for one, will continue to support you, in an effort to keep the one company truely taking graphics, gameplay, and the use of available hardware to a level other games developers are afraid to touch. activision, codemasters, Ubisoft and so many more should be looking back over thier shoulder at you, to see what it was liek to truely give a £$%^ about the end user, and wheather a game will truely be good, or weather the teaser trailer will shift enough copies, before people actually play it, and realise its total and utter rubbish! P.p.s. if your playing this game, and your fps is low, and your graphics are bad, and the games playing all slow, theres soemthing wrg with your system, or its just not up to running the game. becoz i can assure you, it is the most stunningly beautiful visual experience on my comp, and plays like a dream. system specs: amd phenom quad 3,4ghz black edition 4 gigs ddr 3 1066mhz sapphire radeon hd4890 2gig vapour-x edition 160 gig solid state hard drive logitech g19 gamer keyboard logitech g9 gamer mouse

[Tried a complete unintall and reinstall/patch yet? If there were something fundamentally wrong with the Arma2 code i'm sure we'd all be getting exactly the same problem so start to eliminate the obvious and that will give you a clearer picture. as far as i know its not possible to uninstall the patch alone, never has been, even with arma 1. only to uninsrtall the whole thing and reinstall / re-patch

clearly you didnt browse the forums before making that post, id estimate 85% of people playing this game are encountering regular bugs including script errors, massive de-sync etc etc etc, if you ever encountered a bugged mission, that is a script error! id also say you aint played online yet either, coz EVERY1 is having issue with it online, falling out of helicopters, guns despawning when you get out of chopper, massive desyns and oss of connection, even when using a high speed net, tunnelled to server in conjunction with a killer nic which bypass's the windows stack (which i have) etc etc etc. this game is massively faulty, if you have not had any issues, consider yourself lucky, but be prepared to suffer some sooner or later. :j: to the guy asked which op sys i ran it on, i tried both xp and vista, but vista is my main op sys atm, and its the one i want to run it on, i dont have to boot into another op sys and shut down my p2p and stuff like that to play one game.:confused: i have not tried an reinstall, coz i want to know why the issue is happening before doing that only to have it happen again. a reinstall may fix it, it wont explain why it happened in the first place, and if i dont know why it happened, how can i prevent it?

i love the arma franchise but this is to much for even a fanatic to take! game crashes every few mins in online play, and now i got an error saying some script is missing, and game crashes every time i start it up! i have no clue what happening . i have no issues with any other game , my drivers are up to date, and my system spec is way beyond anything this game requires, and i still CANNOT PLAY! bohemia, what the hell where you thinking releasing this unfinished, non functional game! now i will no doubt have to reinstall the damn thing just to get it to work again! why is the game deleteing crucial scripts for no apparent reason. if any1 knows why this is happening and how it may be prevented, please tell me before i pull my hair out and smash my worthless arma 2 disc. any help wud be appriciated system specs: amd phenom quad black edition running at 3.0 dual ati hd 2gb 4870 x2's (crossfire x set up) 16 gigs ddr3 200o+ mhz motherboard using the 790fx chipset os: vista ultimate 32 and xp and linux and windows7 (quad multi boot) :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

screw boomerbang! no way i was letting some some other team take the credit! lol. i ran amok in that so called enemy "base". called in fire support mission (seek and destroy armour) and nuked the t72, used the apc from the mabhattan base to take out the bmp-2, and kicked all soldiers ass's. incidentally, originally before i got there, i found the base and it said the commander was not there, so i reloaded and went off to do something else. i completed just about all other objectives, then went to base, and he was there. but i cud not see him anywhere, i staked out the base for about 30 mins, identified every soldiers position and patrol route, but no commander. once i cleared the base i got out of my apc and he appeared, crawling along the ground wonded, so i walked up behind him, and blew out the backs of his knee caps , as you do u know, i mean it seemed like the polite thing to do, after he killed our mates :P he rolled over and a dialouge began where he begged for his life etc etc etc. i waited to see what i was supposed to do and nothing happened, this i found annoying and got bored and blew his face through the back of his head, and i got a radio message saying i had killed him and to search the body for evidance, JOB DONE! small tip for those trying to use the fire support to take out tanks. any non laser guided strike is highly inacurate the further you are from the target, this is in fact realistic, try getting close, real close, so close you can smell the cheap russian after shave off the driver, lol. the point being, the closer you get and zoom in on map when giving co-ordinates, the more accurate your fire support mission will be, when you get it rite, its very hard to miss. id also recommend the seek and destroy armour rounds, as they dont require laser sight , are mulitple shoot rounds ( u get about 6 rockets per strike), and they tend to have large collateral damage, taking out anythoing close by as wellas the armour. remember to back off after giving a danger close fire support mission, as the round qwill be coming in damn near where you are, and missle dont discrimate like ppl, give target location and bug out. using stealth and slowest movement speeds only to avoid detection. hope this helps some of you who cant figure out ewhy the missles and bombs keep missing.

have you played campaign? its buggy as hell. but as soon as you get to badlands you get exactly the kind of mission your talking about :P

no i said i havent completed it yet, ive since found the second piece of information by return to base camp and being sent to some small village. now as far as i know i have only the assasanation mission for full coompletion. and my point about ppl complaining referred to mission difficulty (not bugs), IT IS EASY (if your lucky enough not to have mission bug)!

guys there a lot of complaining here about nothing to be honest. i took four towns no prob with out razor. ( i had no control over napa at all at any stage, and my team would not move at first, only after the cut sceane with the napa prisoners after taking the first town did they move, only becoz they where sent there to town in the cutsceane) i took the first 3 solo, with no back up at all and the last one , i made a light factory for salvage trucks, and a heavy vehicles factory, i was left with just enough bling to splash out on a bmp-2, which came with 3 crew men, i jumped in, drove to fourth one, blazed a trail of glory in secs and nuked it! now im stuck, i have all towns, but it tells me i must find second set of evidance but i have no clues. what am i supposed to look for, where is it? wtf! i need a clue to find the clue! lol :P

BUGS BUGS BUGS! nothing but bugs, paid 30 bucks for a game thats impossible to play :( so dissapointing bohemia. what went wrg in beta tesing? surely these bugs showed up? this game clearly wasn't ready for release. i hope the old campaign mission unlock code works, other wise i dont think ill ever get passed manhattan !!!
