Game displays failure window or displays a camera 10 meters above player corpse on load previous save from death in singleplayer
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When I am playing a single player scenario/showcase and die, I click on the load option to load my last save. When I do this most of the time, it just puts a the game camera about 10 meters above where I died and any AI left alive continue running and shooting from where ever they were the moment I died. Sometimes, and this is rarer, I will get a mission failed screen with no text and play time, kills and everything else set to zero, possibly reflecting the players stats since "loading". If you get the camera option, then you are just stuck, no player arms, no camera or body movement. You can pull up the map, but it gives the "unable to connect to GPS" error. If you get the lose menu, you can restart or return to the menu, either option will overwrite the save(s) you made in game.

After some significant further testing, I have discovered the problem is caused by a mod (Arma 3 Map Pack) and not Arma 3 itself. I posted a comment on its page on Armaholic with an updated bug report (http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=23863&d=45#comments).
