I've searched and asked but no replies so hoping someone here can help. SA I want to make Unit 2 go prone.. I say "Two" and it's selected. I say "go prone" and nothing happens. I'm wondering if it's how I've typed in the command. I need "7" to select Mode then "8" to "Go Prone" What I've typed in is : 7,8 and now I'm wondering if there is some symbols , decimeters that should be used ie '7' ; '8'. Help appreciated. Txs

That's not only silly--it's just plain stupid. I'm getting sick and tired of having to restart and re-do what I've already done. Ditching the campaign.

Great.. thanks.

I started a small scenario in Apex just after I got it and now I can't find it to continue. It starts off having to clear and search a compound , then you go to NY..and that's as far as I got. Would someone mind telling me what the scenario is called? Txs

I pre-ordered and just finished a 4G ArmA3 update , but no Apex.Paid BI according to email I received from Paypal. Has it not been released yet?? It doesn't even show in my Steam Library as being paid for..want's me to purchase again. Who to contact?

Got it sorted out...it's some convoluted process of finding it in your purchases on the BIS site , then pressing a few buttons and eventually Steam will start downloading.

I did contact support but how would you link it to your account if it isn't downloaded? (doesn't show up in ArmA3 other than buy)

Ahhh.. I think the problem is Tanoa will be part of the Apex expansion and the vehicles causing the problem are also in the Apex expansion , which I won't get until July 11. Then I'll find out.

I tried about 4 times to download and play various missions from the Steam workshop and for each and everyone of them I got an "Steam\ _cur_sp (any map) \missions.sqm\yada yada (slew of sub-folders)/ Vehicle class (various vehicles) no longer exists" error. I verified the game cache , no errors. Restarted Steam and Arma3 , same results. Any ideas what the problem may be? Wondering if it has anything to do with Steam deciding to shuffle things around and assign numbers to the various mods rather than file name..just a guess. Help appreciated.

It seems to happen with various missions (I tried 4) I allow the Steam workshop to install. I manually installed a mission from Armaholics and it worked fine. Addendum: I just tried manually downloading a mission (Drug Dealer hideout on Tanoa FYI) and copying the pbo into the missions folder. Same results..missing vehicle class.

I did some further checking on these errors: 21:13:42 Warning Message: steam\__cur_sp.Stratis\mission.sqm/Mission/Entities/Item35.type: Vehicle class B_LSV_01_armed_F no longer exists and Vehicle class B_T_Recon_M_F no longer exists I searched the ArmA3 Class WiKi for "B_LSV_01_armed_F" and "B_T_Recon_M_F" and the search returned 0 results. I read that a while back BI changed their class naming protocol and am wondering if that's the problem or if these vehicles have been removed or are in an add on Steam didn't advise me about when I downloaded.

I've always wondered why the bullet impacts were more representative of paint ball splatters and the weapon sounds were cap gun like (even though the team says these are actual weapon sounds) in ArmA. "Squad" weapon sounds SOUND like high powered rifles and bullet impacts LOOK like high powered impacts. Why can't we have these?

I wasn't trying to compare the two ..both have their strong points and weak points as far as game play goes. I was simply pointing out the graphics (at least as far as bullets/explosions go) and audio in "Squad" are superior but i guess , as was pointed out earlier , the ArmA3 engine is 15 years old and can't reproduce these.

What would be a nice feature IMO would be the ability to issue commands in sequence to various units and then issue an "execute" command..ie #1 move to nnn , #2 , move to xxx etc. then execute , rather than each one running off as soon as the command is issued, Probably could be a simple array that would store the unit# and the command.

I'm wondering if ArmA3 has a similar arrangement as the newly released PR:BF2 where thay've incorporated "Mumble" ito the game and there are limitations as to which communicaiton channel you can access.

I understand that the DLC "Heli" and "Marksman" are already incuded in my installation even though I haven't bought them yet. What parts of the DLC do I already have? Any ideas? (BTW - intend on buying them soon). Txs

OK thanks for the feed back.

I can't find any servers to connect to. There's pages of them in the server list but the vast majority all have red dots beside them and I can't seem to find out what these red dots mean other than the obvious I don't have a specific mod installed. This is what is confusing. I did manage to find a couple of servers running vanilla that listed the following.. DLC's Zeus (have) Karts (don't have and probably wont bother with) Heli's (don't have but will soon) Marksman (don't have but will soon) One server was green and the 4 DLC's had green dots beside them. One server was red , and the 4 DLC's had red dots beside them. I disabled all my mods (3 of them..CBA , JSRS and Blastcore) before starting the game. I've run the verification through Steam. I'm at a loss as to what all the icons mean beside the server name. And also , wasn't (or isn't) there a program that acted as a server listing and would automatically download or update whatever mods were required for a specific server?

Problem solved... I was looking for a particular Vanilla server and was using a command line from which I'd removed all my mods. However , in Steam they were still listed and the box was checked so they were still loading anyway.Once I cleared the Steam configuration all was well.

IIRC there was an option to clear all the keybinds and start fresh with an empty file. Was there (and is there) such a thing? Txs ---------- Post added at 02:18 ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 ---------- NM I found it.

I know all the rudimentary things (walk , aim , shoot etc. etc.) but what about all the little odd ball things like unarmed combat , swapping uniforms , laser a target etc. etc. Is there a resource (WiKi) , manual or something? Txs

OK thanks..I'll have a closer look

Game version is : 1.30.127372 Last played Oct 8. Now when I start the game through Steam I'm getting another 1.2G update. Is this right? If there isn't another recent update...what's with Steam constantly wanting to update the game?

I had read somewhere that 3.2 was coming but the date of release was Nov 4. That's why I was confused. thanks

Thanks for replies. I think the problem might have been the order of the mods. I had CBA in between JSSR's and Blastcore. Anyway , once I changed the order so that CBA loaded first , that seemed to resolve the issue. I don't know if it was that or the re-boot , but all seems well now.
