'Marksmen' showcase sometimes fails to load all mission items and mission doesn't properly initialize.
Need More Info, WishlistPublic

Description

When I first load up Arma 3, if I try to play the 'Marksmen' showcase I load into the mission missing most the items. The missing items include:

  • Weapon attachments (scope, bipod etc.)
  • Map, GPS, Watch, Compass etc.

Additionally, when the items are missing I also notice there's no voice acting at the start of the mission (with the guy saying to report in once the HQ has been cleared).

If I restart the mission at this point it loads correctly.

I reproduced this bug 3 times in a row. On the 4th and 5th attempts it no longer happened, so it seems a little random. I am not using any mods, and my game is freshly updated with the Marksman DLC. {F26008} {F26009} {F26010}

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Close Arma 3 if open already.

  3. Start the 'Marksmen' showcase from the showcase menu.
  4. Sometimes at this point it loads in to a blank briefing screen (due to no map or GPS).
  5. Begin mission and check inventory to sometimes see missing items.

Hello,

i'm unable to reproduce your issue. Could you please provide more info? Thank you very much. Please also attach latest .rpt file after the issue happens again. .rpt is located in C:\Users\<Name>\AppData\Local\Arma 3\

Hi Adam,

It took about 5 attempts this time to get me to reproduce it, but it finally happened again. I have attached my latest rpt file immediately after it happened.

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Keeks

Edit: I have also uploaded a screenshot showing the inventory so you can see what items seem to be missing.

could you please verify your game files via Steam?
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335

After then, please try to run your Arma as an admin.

Thank you.

Hi Adam,

I have now verified my game files through steam and run the game as admin (as per the instructions you provided).

Unfortunately I was able to reproduce the issue after roughly 7 tries (each attempt the game was run as admin). I have uploaded a new .rpt file if you need that.

Regards,
Keeks
