Update: All my players are now playing combined operations versions and we are playing through OA. The games manual and auto upon starting a mission, but the save issue still occurs with one positive but annoying option. When I suspend the game and it saves, that save will be the save we start on. So if I wanna save progress, I must suspend the game and get back in. Thus far, markers and objectives are working fine, which is great. Is the game corrupt or something? Is it a common issue from a bug? If nobody knows the answer, can you tell me where to go to get help? Thanks

Hello everyone, So I've got a issue with my save games. Me and my teammates can play a mission, auto and manual save works. But when we are doing long missions, currently Manhattan. when we quit for the day and come back the next to continue, the last, usually autosaved file is the last time you can load from. example, we play, finish some tasks, it saves, we stop playing, come back next day, If we finish an objective and it saves... Then , say, 10 minutes later we die, instead of loading the last save, it loads the save we started off with! I force save and save 3 times, nope... I found that in my save folder in Documents, my auto save files were in the standard folder but another "Missions" folder was created and had the same save files as the main folder, I deleted both autosave files so only my manual save is available, it still somehow loads the autosave! All traces are gone! And this has been going on for me since 1.09... I stopped playing from update 1.09 coz of this, I got combined assault and so did one of my teammates recently but the other has only arma 2 so we are playing ARMA 2 Campaign through Arma 2 and not OA, so not sure how it goes for saving, playing ARMA 2 Campaign on OA... Arma 2 is at 1.11 and still happens... Can you help me fix this or am I suppose to play a mission in full before quiting!? Its frustrating that this issue hasn't been fixed. Saving is the worst and I find thousands of google results of complaining of save issues... including restarting missions from scratch which also happened to me before. I did use the coding to unlock all campaigns for the previous mission to Manhattan since the save issue happened on it aswell... Reverted Manhattan, the saving worked fine again until we stopped and came back the next day to find if we screw up, we can only restart from the save from yesterday. Another issue is when my teammates do join my LAN coop the next day, all the objectives and map markers we did before save is not complete and not visible for them and I must redo all markers for them but I dunno what will happen when we complete the rest of the tasks I have left since they don't have the same completed anymore... And we have been unable to complete a full mission to check if it still continues, due to the save issue. Example, Manhattan, the task to go find the guy at his house, Well my teammates have that as a task they must do even though we completed it the other day, it saved for me, and when we came on again next day it was still done for me, but not them. Anybody know whats going on? Thanks Heaps Chris

Sorry, I forgot to mention the settings in single player being the same as PC almost... And works wonderfully still. The PC hosts the game. It seems to not lag as much anymore... strange... I guess other tasks decided to run whilst we playing and cause lag...

Compared to the PC, yeah. for a laptop itself and requirements, no. The single player works smoothly at pretty much same video settings... im thinking connection or if a computer better then another is downgrading worse computer. coz it can't keep up...

Hi, I dunno if anybody else has had this issue, Ive been playing LAN with my partner, we go well with playing, except for her computer lagging, which is strange, even tho its a laptop, its got good components. But the big issue is when we play, if we fail or die or whatever to make us need to restart or revert to save, when we try revert our save, it starts the whole mission and deletes save!!!??? What I wanna know is how to fix this so we can play and if we need to revert, we dont have to do everything again...
