Hi.
I have a real problem with the Coltan Blues mission. After the anti air section the game autosaves then resumes with a chopper in bound to collect you. At this point the screen goes dark, the progress bar for mission loading fails to move and the game just sits there for ever and eventually you have to kill it.
I have deleted my autosave file and redone the mission from start and got the same problem. I uninstalled Arma2 and reinstalled from Steam. Same problem. Otherwise the game has behaved perfectly.
My hardware is :
Intel i5 760
Gigabyte P55A USB3
8GB Ram
OCZ Vertex SSD
ATI Radion HD 5700 series 1GB
The game is fresh from Steam with no mods, downloaded within the last week. The Machine runs Win7x64 at standard settings, no overclocking.
Any ideas how to get past this issue?
