Unable to load 3rd mission - MAXWELL
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

After the rendezvous with the other group, the mission has ended, but I am unable to run the next ona. All the loading runs completely to the end, but then it doesnt proceed into the mission. So far I only had this problem with this mission. {F22588} {F22589}

Additional Information

Only thing I think I might have did to make some differences is that I did use one save during previous mission, and took some weapons and items from dead bodies (night vision, weapon with GL, backpack with medkit)

Could you please upload your .rpt file which correspond with this problem? When you don't know which .rpt file is correct, so reproduce this issue again until this problem will happen and then find and upload last .rpt file. Thank you.

Could you please try this? Thank you.

I passed both the RPTs before the successful game cache validation and after. I did it I hope all right (I even run it as admin this time).
I will pass you my startup parameters if it can be any help: -nosplash -noPause -world=empty -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=4 -maxmem=8192 -maxvram=1024

I had the same problem and was using the following launch parameters:
-cpuCount=4 -exThreads=8 -high -maxMem=6144 -noPause -noSplash -world=empty

Removing all parameters fixed the issue for me and the MAXWELL mission now loads.

@Perun89
Could you try start without parameters too? Thank you.

I tried to delete the startup parameters one after another and I found out that without the -exThreads=4 parameters it works. Means that with "-nosplash -noPause -world=empty -cpuCount=4 -maxmem=8192 -maxvram=1024" it works fine (as it seems right now)

PS. Actually with the exThreads=3 it runs as well. (I just found out that the exThreads should be less then cpuCount) I wonder why it didnt fail on other missions.

-exThreads=8 causes this issue and this parameter is not correct, you can use -exThreads=1-7 check link please.

Well, it is nowhere written, that -exThreads=4 is wrong. Even that the table doesn't contain description for that count. I don't have time right now, but I will try all variants of the setting. For me it looks like that if I set up the geometry extra thread (which from what I get is the -exThreads=4 setting) it stops running. Is it so, that the file operations thread has to be turned on for the other threads to run? If so, it might be the problem.

I'm stuck in the same spot. I run no mods, and cleared my parameter line.

Spoiler= -exThreads was not a parameter I was using.

EDIT: To be clear, removing the parameter line does not allow me to proceed.

I replaced my parameter line and have been playing MP Benny warfare. On a whim I tried it for the third time since reporting and it allowed me to proceed several missions.

@BioNova:
Could you please upload your .rpt file? Find correct .rpt file is very simple. Reproduce this issue and then find last .rpt file in this folder: Arma 3: C:\Users\<Name>\AppData\Local\Arma 3\
Thank you.

My apologies Astaroth. I am unable to reproduce. Once is started working, it has not failed since. If it reoccurs I will return with the file.
