Save game bug
Every time I save my game and then close Arma the saves just seem to disappear. There is no option to resume and I have to start from the beginning every time. Is there a fix?

How are you saving the game? Don't use the save script at the bed. Just save game normally or save and exit.

I have the same problem, saved up to three times at 20 seconds just to be sure it had saved. This was yestarday. Today, the scenario just start from the beginnin. I get the briefing-screen at once I go in.

There is a known save game issue that's addressed in the game. (see on the map screen "issues").

One thing that could be tried if there's no continue option. Navigate to the savegame locations and copy and rename whichever one you want continue.Arma3Save. There's an explanation for what's going on in the map screen, but what it amounts to is the continue save is being deleted when you start. And if the game ends by death/crash, a new one isn't made. What I've started doing is when I want to quit I do a user save before saving and exiting. Then if next time I die or something, I won't lose that progress because the save from Save&Exit no longer exists. This workaround worked for me, though it sounds like some people may be having a different issue.

Update 1.90 no save option works
Save
Save & Exit
Bed save

Update 1.92 May 2019
Save not working still on same three ways. Checked in the game folder, the save game file is created, but disappears when scenario is reaccessed later. Ive done a full reinstallation of A3 after the update to 1.92 and when 1.90 was added earlier in the year.

Hope this info helps you sort this bug out the scenario is great fun to play and most annoying at having to restart every time you want to play it.

No, it just happened to me. I tried downloading it manually from Armaholic website, but it doesn't work for me, sadly.

I had this problem, but only when I save and exit the game by pressing alt+F4. When I save and exit the game regulary, I can continue it like any other game. So, just make sure you exit with in game menu.

FIX!!!!!!!!!!!! - hopefully. I have also had this problem and it is somewhat annoying. What appears to happen is the SAVED folder gets cleared when you select the scenario to play and as a result there are no save files to access. What i have tried is to manually paste a copy of the save files back in the correct location before launching the scenario. I have not tried this yet when I have the problem but have tested this manually by removing the files as the bug does and then replacing the save files and seems to work. I will repost as soon as I can confirm that this works when the proper bug occurs. NOTE - you will need to take a copy of you save files after each time playing the game so you have a copy of them to restore with.
