Aha, found it. Vote myself commander from the map screen.

In Arma 2 (not OA), is there a way to be the commander on the Bear Rising single player scenario? The only thing I can construct is 'Defenses', never bases. I read somewhere that it's possible to switch between unit mode and commander in this mission. I tried Ctrl + Space which gives high command options on other maps but that does nothing.

Thanks. I already restarted that mission anyway and it didn't happen again the second time, although I can tell it does strain the system with so much going on.

I have regular old Arma 2 version 1.11.36734. I'm playing the campaign mission Badlands. Got most of the way through it, saving regularly as always. Quit before conquering the last village. Few hours later tried to load it and the loading crashes to desktop with the error "Cannot Load" then the save filename. Nothing changed between the last save time and the load time - no updates on the game, no windows updates, not really any activity at all on this pc. The game has been the same version throughout the campaign. Tried moving some of the save games out of the folder and each individual save produces the same error. It's strange that all of the saves would be corrupt isn't it? Or is it possible that there was some kind of corruption early in the mission and it was somehow 'passed on' to all subsequent saves on the same mission?

As I said, doesn't work for me. I have version 1.11.36734, which do you have? If you don't expect your ai to act like puppets then I wonder how often does it work for you and in what circumstances? Do you just mean if there are no enemies left and your ai are still 'stuck' bounding then switching to those formations snaps them out of it?

That doesn't work for me, they still move one at a time. ---------- Post added at 02:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 PM ---------- Issuing move orders doesn't work. I gather that they're moving one at a time because they think there's an enemy nearby. Sometimes even when they have encountered an enemy, the best thing for them to do is to run fast where I tell them. Is there no way to force them to run?

When AI go into that mode where they run one-at-a-time covering each other, movement is really slow. How do I snap them out of that mode? Tried telling them it's 'safe', or to be 'aware' but they keep doing the bounding. I want to force them to run as they would at the start of the mission. I don't think there's a "move fast" option is there? If there's a special fix for editor modes then great but ideally I'd like a normal radio command that works in the regular singleplayer + campaign modes too.

Hi, I'm looking for a relatively small, simple empty desert map like the one in the original flashpoint. Something quick to load, no frills, don't care how it looks. The one I found so far is "Desert Island" but I think its size makes it heavier than I wanted.

Where can I find that beta patch? The version I have is 1.10.... something.

When I first got Arma 2 I had lots of mouse lag, which I sorted out using various tips I found (changing maxframesahead, taking off smoothing, vsync off). I'm still getting mouse lag when using a sniper scope though, worse mouse lag than I ever had in the normal view. Is the scoped view always more demanding on resources? GTX570 8G Ram i5 CPU Win7 64

1) I'm trying to clear the insurgent sentry posts but I can only find three, inside those two red-shaded areas. I've searched the whole areas and there were only four camps I came across. Three in the western one, just one in the eastern one. One of them (far-west side of the western red area) I cleared enemies from but got no message that the insurgent sentry post had been cleared, no green exclamation mark. 2) Also, I got Lagushina to LZ Jersey but after my player initially radios Battlemage, there's no radio response and no Air extraction turns up.

That's funny, when I went into the multiplayer lobby, every server was running 1.10. So in general, patches don't have to be "from" the exact version I have, as long as my version is covered by the range?

I just got back into PC gaming, bought this Arma 2 (avid console gamer for years, literally had never heard of this game). The version I have is 1.03.58834. I was about to install the 1.10 patch on the site till I noticed in the readme "ANY ORIGINAL VERSION OF ARMA 2 from 1.05". I have 1.03.58834. On the patch site: http://www.arma2.com/index.php?Itemid=20&option=com_rokdownloads&view=folder〈=en I can't tell what I should download. Not sure how patches work, do I have to use a patch that is "from 1.03.58834" or just one that covers the range, e.g. first get 1.00 to 1.09 then the main 1.10 one?
