According to experiences by me and some others this happens atleast here: in Harvest Red when trying to go areas north of Gorka in Manhattan when trying to go areas south of Vysnoye in Bitter Chill when trying to go all the way south to USMC Khe Sahn in Dogs Of War when trying to go as north as areas south of Krasnostav airfield If you go by helicopter it looks like you were rocketed If you go by vehicle it looks like you were rocketed If you go on foot it looks like you were shot by invisible sniper The weird thing is that there are "it is not too late to turn back yet"-areas where you can order your team to disembark and they are not killed, but if you disembark yourself you are killed instantly. This is probably because otherwise some enemy or friendly AI troops that are on reserve behind this kill area would also be killed by this script. So it only applies to human controlled player I guess.

Have you tried the latest beta patch? http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php Check if you have Video memory set as Default or Very High for that graphics card. Because of sound will cut out, I would disabling all sounds ingame or even removing FATAL1TY to see if that causes. I just don't trust to Creative drivers quality anymore so much after all my experience on their products. You could also close all background applications to see if one of them is causing something. Even though it is a new computer, I still would run Memtest86+ and some stess test to see hardware is not causing this. My best advice would be to try things one by one and see if that will remove the problem.

I have completed Manhattan mission three times and I don't remember anyone there telling to go west of Vyshnoye or anywhere near that. The southest place I remember worth visiting is Novy Sobor after first visiting Gorka. I agree it is a "out of mission area killzone" automatically killing Cooper when with a script. There is one in almost every mission of Harvest Red campaign. The fact that you find some enemies of friendlies there is not related to the fact that script kills it is just a coinsidence. Those troops have started inside mission area and moved there later on. It is not new that there are some troops outside mission area. Just take go to UAV and see that there are many some friendly unit markers in southcoast of Chernarus. Just give up trying to get there, it is nothing that would be required for perfect completion of Manhattan. BTW. I informed moderators to move this thread to the right place which is OFFICIAL MISSIONS.

See this: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=84132 It is quite old guide, but nothing has changed except that AI pilots fly better now and will not land to trees and crash to mountains, but still you need to know how to read map for open areas, if you click helicopter to take you to forested area, it will not go there but chooses something close to it and this something is not always very favorable.

Bugfix coming up related to above issue: http://dev-heaven.net/issues/25632

I found out why that happened: http://forums.bistudio.com/showpost.php?p=2039311&postcount=4

When Insurgent Leader Nikitin is alive or wounded, you need to find him manually. Sometimes he goes to meet weapon smuggler (with white Coytota pickup) on road side who bring weapons to insurgent main camp. If insurgent leader Nikitin has been killed, but you have not noticed that or body is not easily find, you can order one of the Razors to find him even when his body is quite far away from where you start: Press F2 or F3 or F4 Press 6 Press 3 Search body Razor Team member should now start to run where Nikitins body is and stop there.

I had game freezed after about 10 minutes of playing and usually my game is very stable. Had to CTRL+ALT+DEL to get to Win7 and saw message about Arma2 RFT has stopped responding. Download crash dump files here EDIT: Have had total of 5 freezes and crashes with this and previous betas: http://dev-heaven.net/issues/25625

Whoops, replied to wrong build thread, moved my reply to latest beta here (having similar problems like Tonci87 and his group - making me think these builds are highly unstable).

Correct me if I'm wrong but JSRS is a audio-modification for Arma2 CO. So playing old Arma2 campaign that existed before JSRS was even made sounds like begging for sound issues. In these Harvest Red cutscenes video and audio syncronization seems quite special since it is a mix of real animation and player interaction (since you can move your head and view if nothing else). Don't take me wrong I really like Harvest Red campaign and I encourage everyone to play it at least once a year, but my best advice is not to use mods when playing official missions because they are not developed nor tested with mods. You proably have worked around the issue already or quit the campaign, but I just wanted to answer a thread that is not yet 4 months old and had 0 answers.

This fix does not happen to have anything to do with this? http://dev-heaven.net/issues/11442 First slot taken by DS entity after mission is (re)loaded (Default missions of OA only)

Oh sorry. I totally missed the bold part because I was so excited about reading about isolation of skipping multiplayer debriefing screens. :bounce3: Someone please inform me if programmers succeed to fix multiplayer decisions forgotten between campaign missions. So I can set these two as resolved: http://dev-heaven.net/issues/20227 Manhattan mission [Multiplayer] letting Father Fyodor keep weapons results Bitter Chill NAPA Alesh Vokurka saying "...you took those weapons from Father Fyodor..." http://dev-heaven.net/issues/15016 Manhattan mission [Multiplayer] does not recognize choices made by host in Singleplayer The only question that remains is how xALIENAx was able to experience same bug in singleplayer when he said he has never touched multiplayer. So maybe we just should assume he just got confused what Weapons cache decision he actually made in Manhattan.

You could test this http://dev-heaven.net/issues/20227 and see if you can reproduce it on OA side. Jezuro could not reproduce it there, but I'm pretty sure there is something wrong about it since but me (with 1.10+1.60 BETA multiplayer) and xALIENAx (with 1.09+1.59 singleplayer) can reproduce it. ---------- Post added at 10:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 AM ---------- New http://dev-heaven.net/issues/25659 Into The Storm mission [Multiplayer] house is destroyed for host but not for clients http://dev-heaven.net/issues/25658 Manhattan mission GPS COORDS 107029 Dr. Sova lynching will happen with cut down trees http://dev-heaven.net/issues/25657 Manhattan mission GPS COORDS 122044 Nikolayev house ruins lack collision http://dev-heaven.net/issues/25656 Manhattan mission No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/GUE_Soldier_Base/HitPoints/Hithead.name'. onscreen message Hoping for developer comment: http://dev-heaven.net/issues/25635 Bitter Chill mission GPS COORDS 093065 shadows floating in house wall http://dev-heaven.net/issues/25630 Dogs Of War mission Major Begnov's head is partly inside wooden pillar http://dev-heaven.net/issues/25636 Dogs Of War mission "Can't Reinforce.

OMAC read: http://forums.bistudio.com/showpost.php?p=2039849&postcount=20 A2 betas are not made anymore like said in BIS wiki or somewhere where I saw it. Getting CIT ticket names and maybe links too to changelog would help beta testing when beta testers know details what they should confirm.

If so, my humbe wish would be to have CIT ticket links in beta changelog. I could even do the job for some developer to copypaste from here.

Thank you! OMAC is going to love this information! Since that was his first CIT ticket it means a lot to him especially when this is probably one of the hardest OFFICIAL MISSIONS. Thanks, no big deal. That is very trivial and harmless bug anyway. I will try too at some point and if unable too, will set those expired. Thank you very much! This http://dev-heaven.net/issues/25633 really got me puzzled since it was the first time I played Arma2 when I played that mission and had no clue what was going on. All fixed ones set to Resolved and Upcoming version.

So I ran out of time to trying to reproduce some of the previous ones which did not bug for you. Will look into it later.

I'm all amazed by Jezurminator exterminating bugs close to extinction! Thank you big time! I need to feed this hunger with some old fat bugs - never before reported. Splendid, thank you!

Yea saw those changed to Upcoming version by Dwarden already a while ago, but didn't realize it was you! Big thank you! That really bothered me and my fellow gamers who wanted to complete all those COOP missions properly and because of those bugs we could not. It is a relief I can finally take those links out of my signature when 1.60 final comes out. I would like to know if you had to correct it for every mission separately or was there something in main code that affected those missions. I think there was some missions like COOP 06 Tank Busters where it occurred occasionally but those which I reported it happened always. This page was last modified on 19 July 2011, at 04:11.: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/deleteCollection So my guess is that "mysterious coder" brought it back by that date. I suggest Lets just Exipire or Close that [EW] ticket. If I ever have time to play Eagle Wing, I will run into it if it is still reproable and I can re-assign it myself.

I promise to handle all testing (CIT workflow Resolved->Closed) for these fixes in possible beta and in 1.60 final. If they would be will be included in beta, archive size would increase considerably maybe but it would give better quality assurance for final and it would be a cheer up for all content fix lovers after looking all those AI and engine fixes (which are important too ofcourse). :)

I'm afraid we don't see so many fixes from Arma3-busy Yezuro, so I guess we could do that for him in hope of giving him some minutes more for an another fix. :) It would be useful to know if detailed repro steps, GPS COORDS, long detailed title and screenshots are speeding up the bughunting and reproducing process or should I instead just report more than trying to improve old tickets? ---------- Post added at 03:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 PM ---------- That was exactly what I was about to say. :bounce3:

Thank you! I need to coop it with latest beta and if we can still repro it, I will attach newer savegame there. I will try to get confirmation from someone who has played Eagle Wing. Thank you! Thank you big time! It was one of the most annoying bugs still occurring with 1.60 beta. I also tested last week that falling campouflage net does not do damage anymore to anyone, but I'm pretty sure it was lethal with atleast 1.54-1.58. Anyway very intresting to see how you solved it. Making him sit or just locking his movement. We will see. :) Thank you! Failed to do own ticket for similar problem but Manhattan GPS COORDS 999153 there is a platoon misplaced at bottom left corner of map - in the middle of the sea. I will do CIT ticket for it too. Thank you! I'm intrested to see how this one could be fixed. :) All in all awesome work Jezuro! I will try to make a list tonight of the most fastest bugs to fix, so that possibke second fix day is not consumed by hard or unreproable issues. I assume fixes will come to 1.60 final and not to next beta (which usually does not contain data changes). As I write this I see emails about Sickboy changing issue statuses to Upcoming Version. SB you were faster than me. ;)

That is very good news Jezuro! Thank you and thanks to whoever gave you that time!! I will try my best to improve reproduction instructions for issues. I also have these issues I'm planning to make CIT ticket for: Bitter Chill class 'binconfig.binCfgVehiclesMi24_DAnimationSourcesDoors' is not defined ('source' accessed) Badlands and Dogs Of War rearming or buying new weapon makes default weapon to disappear Dogs Of War The alliance between Guerrillas and BLUFOR has ended - false messages (they repeat throughout mission everytime save is loaded) Dogs Of War Ltn. Marny is not talking or providing information like R.A. Stavovich does. (Notes say they both should talk and provide information) Just post here or PM me, if you need details. I'm happy to help!

Still happened to me with 1.60 BETA and Multiplayer. EDIT Jezuro has verified there is an issue of decisions not transferring between missions and said it is Multiplayer only problem. Programmers have been informed and it is now up to them if they manage to fix it. http://forums.bistudio.com/showpost.php?p=2039860&postcount=22 Why same issue happened in singleplayer to xALIENAx who says he has never played this mission on multiplayer is a mystery.
