They actually did update for this scenario but named "WS and RF Gear in Old Man"

@GWOP-WXTCH

If you drive cars well, and utilise fast travel options, it really doesn't take even close to 20 minutes to travel from A to B.

Familiarise yourself with all travel mechanics before you complain about the travel length.

Wow, this was an amazing "drive 20 minutes here, then drive 20 minutes back, then walk 20 minutes here, then walk 20 minutes back, then sleep to this exact time" fetch quest simulator. Literally the most mind numbingly boring thing that Bohemia decided to take and put into the game as a scenario. It doesn't even need constant action, but what this turned out to be was hours of walking for no reason other than padding. Truly talentless.

hi. after collecting the captive ID i can t seem to end that task. the mission doesn t appear and even by dropping the ID at the stash it doesn t conclude the mission. anyone fixed it ?

Eh.. sounded great, but at the first millitary checkpoint the idiot on my right just keeps waving, and nothing happens. I perfectly parked my car next to him, where it needed. So it bleeds out at the start for me.

this comes with the game so dont worry

how can you put this scenario in the editor to put a custom option addon
Jack Lexington 24 May, 2022 @ 6:48am 
Best scenario of the game. Immersive, dramatic at times, makes you think thoroughly about preparation,

Only fault is it's almost impossible to use the gamemode in your own scenarios. Far too complex.

Barring that, would recommend any day.
tamthebam 23 May, 2022 @ 2:00pm 
@Kiloton Perhaps you might want to explore the scenario a lot more. Gather some more resources, discover caches, steal some gear, learn and experiment with the disguise system. It is well possible to be swimming in all types of resources (tactical gear, weapons, ammo, money, etc) before even attempting that task.
Kiloton 23 May, 2022 @ 1:50pm 
I'm convinced at this point that there isn't a single open world mission that doesn't expect you survive without a cheat mod.
"Here's a double barrel, now go steal explosives and blow up a building while crawling through a sea of cops and CSAT. You don't need any armor or support. Behold our realism."
Santa Six 15 Feb, 2022 @ 8:36pm 
The code to this is too ambitious. It's extremely delicate if you're play style is unorthodox.
Captain right huevo 8 Dec, 2021 @ 4:33pm 
im also getting the bug where im not getting called at 6:30
Jack Lexington 14 Jun, 2021 @ 10:14am 
I need to know how to do this mode on another map. How can I make a scenario with this logic for economies, notoriety etc be copy pasted onto any map I want??
Bat 20 Apr, 2021 @ 9:07am 
I'm a rookie Arma 3 player, i did play almost all the campaigns in any way now, but old man hits different, this is a masterpiece, it sucks that there's alot of technical limitations but honestly s/o to the whole dev team, i can't wait for another project like that if it ever happens.
Old man & Antistasi devs should work together to release more official content, i'm pretty sure it would be so good that it would give inspirations for server owners to create game modes like that.
Machine Gun Kelly 18 Apr, 2021 @ 10:10am 
@CrusaderLite - In part, what the saves 'save' are things like what scripts are running, variables, pointers, and who knows what else. So if a mod changes ANY of those, the save will be 'no good'.

SOME mods (such as mine) CAN be updated with no issues to old saves. Most can not.

:)
CrusaderLite 17 Apr, 2021 @ 6:26pm 
To fix the saves problem, couldnt you do something like fixing the min/max version of the game in the save files? like how you do with mods?
Machine Gun Kelly 28 Feb, 2021 @ 9:07am 
@aK - 99.9% of the time when ANY mission/mod/ARMA update is put out, old saves will NOT work. This is how the saves in ARMA works due to what is actually being saved. And it DOES make sense too.

To my knowledge, there is nothing that you can do to correct/fix this.

This has been a 'thing' in ARMA since A3 came out. I do not remember if it was an issue in the older ARMA's. Most likely it was.

So, sadly, there is nothing you can do but restart.

:(
aK 27 Feb, 2021 @ 11:43pm 
guys does the new update make all my saves useless?
Machine Gun Kelly 24 Feb, 2021 @ 10:19am 
@andrewmmaclean - Glad it worked for ya! With ARMA (and I suspect some other games such as SkyRim), when having issues, backup 'things', then try it 'default'. This will usually address things.

I am glad you got it going though, I think you will enjoy it!

:)
andrewmmaclean 23 Feb, 2021 @ 3:31pm 
Thanks MGK. That was it. It had been a while since I had fired ARMA up, and had left the MERCS mod on. Things are progressing as they should now.
Machine Gun Kelly 22 Feb, 2021 @ 2:12pm 
@andrewmmaclean - JUST guessing, you're using some mod(s). Try with NO mods loaded and if it still is not working, then I would suggest you verify your ARMA files. If you notice in the comments, there is no one else really complaining about this, which would indicate it is on your end.

I do use mods (most common ones) and I have no issues with this mod/mission at all.

Try with NO mods, then verify your ARMA files.

This is about the only thing I think any of us could offer you to assist with your problem(s).

:)

Tried to play this several times. Early on, after picking up the explosives at Arthur's house and going home, Miller shows me some intel and then tells me to get some rest. He will call me at 6:30. I sleep on the couch until 6:25, but Miller never calls. The "Get Some Rest" task does not show as completed. I have tried it several times, sleeping until 6:30, 6:32, etc. and am always stuck at this point. I never get the call and so have no tasks to complete. Any ideas?
Machine Gun Kelly 18 Jan, 2021 @ 7:28am 
@Some1die - I suspect this setting is a variable within the mission. What you would have to do is to take apart the mission, find this variable then set it to the 'Pause' state. It is not too hard to do, just search all text files in the PBO for phrases such as 'save' or 'house'. You should find it.

TextCrawler is a perfect program for this.

Then, once in game, open the console and type in the new variable, save, reload. That most likely will take care of that.

I just started playing this last night, wonderful scenario! Especially the way CSAT calls in for reinforcements on the radio is just mind-blowing, I was not expecting a jet to do a fly-by. To the creators, amazing work!
T/3. Some1die [10th MD] 16 Jan, 2021 @ 10:45pm 
I have already started the game. I chose to Save Game at house. Is there a way I can change Save at Pause Screen. If not, this should be an option. Cause it's a pain to die so much so far away from a safe house. I am already too far to restart the game to choose a different option. Please let me how to do it. I can't find anything online or not searching for it correctly. Great game so far. I love it!

@resquart - If you dig thru the entry, they answer why this is here. Mostly for note/help stuff.

Why this scenario is still on the workshop? (No offense, just asking.) Isn't this scenario deprecated?

@IUIXIUI - SP ONLY!

singleplayer only ? or can play coop ?
Machine Gun Kelly 7 Oct, 2020 @ 10:36am 
@Turing Tested - There are mods that will allow for this. One of the smallest and it DOES work, though quite old is: 'Group Menu'

This small mod will allow you to join a group, then take command of it as well as step down/leave group.

Good luck on finding it!

This SHOULD do the trick for ya!

:)


PS - I found it! Woo hoo! I have looked before and never found it. Get it here: https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/145179-group-management-script/

@Mique2Dope - How can anyone help you with you provide ZERO facts/error codes/what you were doing/what mods you were using/your OS/you computer specs and so on?

Really?

Sorry, none of us are mind readers and we can NOT help you until you provide the above.

No one could.

Sorry!

Didnt make controllable AI teammates....Sad. I thought when you call in support rebels they would follow you, but no they just roam around the area and get shot by baddies for you... useless except for a distraction

What's the difference between this and the original version? Thanks

Hi, first time posting so apologies if missing information. I have recently noticed that I can't save and exit. when I try I do not exit and there is no save made. I have to manually exit the game using ctrl-alt-del. I am using lenovo 64bit intel corei7-8550U 8gb ram. Windows 10.

Machine Gun Kelly 8 Jun, 2020 @ 9:26am 
@Turing Tested - I would not hold your breathe. MY guess is NO ONE will do it as EVERY mission will have to be re-done. And many, if not ALL missions would have to be re-scripted. What happens if the extra player get the ID and not the main player? How do you give it to the AI man? You will not be able to.

Way too much work and effort for NO MONEY!

;)

@y9650 - You're more than welcome! Those 2 'tricks' I mentioned work for all sorts of other things/missions too...

Hope you got them to work for you and fixed your problem!

@Whytie - Google it. It is an issue with ARMA for 10+ years. Short answer? You can do NOTHING.

I can't resume a saved game, it crashes my game and says 'Too many virtual memory blocks'. Any suggestions?
