Campaign bugs
Reviewed, NormalPublic

Description

I marked this bug as Major because although it may not seem that bad, it is the cause of over 10 hours of wasted time for me. I have been trying to complete the campaign for weeks to make a start on Apex but I keep running into issues. I have been talking on Twitter with the official account and they told me to come here. So, every now and again all of my 'tasks' disssapear, usually towards the end of the level, causing me to fail or have to restart. I always click ''play with no mods'' during the launcher.

Also another bug, when I fail a mission (die for instance), when I reload it never actually takes me to the previous checkpoint it takes me to random checkpoints from previous saves (some right before I die or fail a previous mission), why is there not just the ability to load from the list of saves I have been making throughout the level?? I can only continue or revert which gives me absolutely no control over which checkpoint i'm loading and I just have to deal with whatever random checkpoint (usually from hours ago) Arma 3 gives me, losing alot of progress.

Also in my campaign lists I can see ''prologue'' and the main campaign twice but no ''Apex Protocol''

I was loving the campaign up until the past few missions, I actually was advised to just skip one by the Twitter team cause I kept getting near the end, now I fear I may not get the achievements I have put all these hours in for and quite frankly these problems have completely ruined it after spending hours repeating the same things, trying to do missions with no task list and I am just very frustrated now but I don't want to just start the Apex campaign without completing so here I am, messing around making accounts and uploading screenshots on a saturday because I work all week and just want to play what I have spent money on in my free time. Sorry I got a bit ranty but I hope you understand!

PS, where I pick the category there is ''Survive, adapt and win'' I only have one campaign, east wind or something.

Hello,

thank you for the feedback.

Disappearing tasks
Does it happen in a specific mission or in more missions, and in both cases, could you please write down which mission/s? Does it happen after completing some of the tasks or it happens randomly during the mission?

Save/Load
After dying, you should be presented with a pause-like menu with a load option. If you are trying to continue the mission from the campaign list in the main menu, it will load the last save made before leaving the mission. When inside the mission you should however still have the Load option in the pause menu available with all the saves made during the previous playthrough.

Seeing East Wind camapaign twice
Seems like campaign/mission files are corrupt

First of all I would recommend verifying the game data through Steam (if you haven't done so already):
Steam > right-click Arma 3 > Properties > Local Data tab > Verify Integrity of Game Cache
This will check game files and redownload any corrupt or missing files.

Please let me know if verification of the game data have helped for at least some issues and let me know, we will figure out what to do with the rest of the issues after that.

Thanks
