Yeah... For me it ended up working up eventually, but there was a lot of saving, exiting, and loading involved. I don't know exactly how I did it, but I would save, exit, and re-enter whenever it seemed like something was supposed to be happening.

To be sure, do it on the title screen, punkwar.

I have the same problem. I need help. I trying everything but still not work.
I try to copy the version of the game with LCntr + / but not copy information to the clipboard

Well, let's hope the update for the episode 2 fix all of this.

LCntr+/ not working but the version is 1.08.113494
I have W7 Ultimate 64-bits AMD FX(tm)-8150 eight-core processor 3.60 GHz
AMD Radeon 7800 1024mb

I had the same problem, but now, I can't start the mission, it's freezes at loading screen.

Nuts, do you not experience the bug at all on your laptop?

Can everyone please post their Arma 3 version number, operating system, graphics card and driver version, CPU model, chipset, and anything else they can think of that has any chance of being relevant? Then maybe we can spot a correlation.

Arma3 version 1.08.113494
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
GTX 560 Ti - Driver 314.22
Intel QX6800
nForce 680i
(yes my CPU and mobo are ancient)

Version: 1.08.113494, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bits (Not sp1), GTX 650 331.93, Core 2 Duo CPU E7400 @ 2.80Ghz, Chipset Intel 82801G (ICH7 Family), 8GB RAM.

The only way I could get around it is I copied the save games from my desktop to my laptop, started the Tipping Point mission, saved it. Then recopied my save game from my laptop and transferred back to my desktop.

copy that, cspradin. I got it myself after a lot of saving, exiting, and loading, but I eventually managed to load myself into the Tipping Point briefing.

Made it eventually, if a bit different from what others are experiencing. I eventually got it to exit the letterbox, but I couldn't do anything scripted. The options in the scroll wheel were available, and some of them DID work (involving things with my character, like changing weapons, reloading, or changing ammo types) but it did NOTHING when I tried to open the strategic map. Saved, reloaded, same thing, with the bonus of a 4x longer than normal load time. Eventually, after trying this over and over and over, I accidentally saved after trying to open the map and didn't move away or do any other actions. When I loaded, it loaded into the strategic map! Of course, I used the scroll bar. Went black, then loaded Maxwell again with the view locked on the stars. I tried it again, and this time I manually scrolled the tactical map, selected the Tipping Point mission on the map itself, and launched it from there. Worked after that! Now if only AIs weren't nuts-OP.

Thanks! Had the same problem, solved with timely space bar and one save&load after that. Win8.1 x64/Intel Q9550/4GB/Nvidia GTX 560Ti

Is it possible for someone to post a video with indicators on when to press space? All I'm getting is being stuck in letterbox, no ability to interact except shooting things, even following the instructions. Saving is not available in the menu options, either.

I have been trying for a long time now and tired of trying, I have been attempting the space bar trick, all seems to go well, I can shoot and reload and open my inventory but I am unable to open the Strategic Map.

I have reproduced it several times, sometimes the Strategic Map works, sometimes it doesn't.
I believe timing is critical. I will attempt to identify a 100% reproducible solution.

Got it. I did the trick with space, get full control but no objectives, I get next to the strategic map saved and loaded ( during the load it caught sometimes but I pressed esc and it goes ) then I get a report in objective, get into there but no sucess they did nothing, then I save and loaded again and boom got it.

Thanks OminousPenguin.

Thanks again OminousPenguin for your help, you seem pretty devoted to helping us out and I sincerely appreciate it!

Yes Lionhawk that's what I was talking about.

Here's what it's supposed to do : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rszr-q951BI

Pressing the spacebar with he right timing does indeed help. Thank you OminousPenguin.

Tested the spacebar a bit more. Turns out that no progress can be made, all it does is make the game playable again. No briefing or any other scripted event can take place, all you can do is walk around Maxwell.

Ok, please, press LCTRL+/
"Game version copied to the clipboard" message will appear on your screen.
Paste it here. I will check it.

Unfortunately, running the mission at lower graphics is unfeasible for me because I'm already running Arma 3 at about its lowest graphics. I have no idea what might be causing this problem.

Lionhawk and redbaty, were you not able to make any progress using space bar to skip the scripted bit?

zozo, what should happen after the Two Hours Later title? Is it supposed to fade straight into the conversation with James?

I'm pretty sure the problem is in the scripting as skipping it with spacebar works reliably for me. You just have to tap it at the right time.

I tried to progress to the next mission, no sucess. I get full control, reload and everything but when a approach to the strategic map I don't get anything.

Could you pls provide more information?
Like version?
Can you measure FPS?
We have tried it many times but with no luck (repro does't work).
Maybe, could you try to lower your graphic settings and run the mission again?

Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
GTX 560 Ti - Driver 314.22
Arma3 version 1.08.113494 (Steam)

After the Two Hours Later my FPS is constant at 15.

If you spam space bar right after the loading screen you get control of your character, but you cannot open inventory with I or reload with R.
If you kill one of the AI (mission does not end) you can then open their inventory with scroll menu.
You can switch semi/auto/GL with F.
Using the underslung grenade launcher you can reload smoke/HE via the scroll menu.
The Strategic Map scroll menu item is available as it should be, but does nothing.
Pressing ESC brings up the pause menu. Clicking Configure does nothing. The Audio/Video/etc submenu does not appear.

If I save & abort, then try to resume that save, the (top) loading progress bar gets stuck at around 80%.

Hit space bar once while the Two Hours Later title is on screen:
Letterbox view. Can look around. Scripted movement following James. No dialogue.

Hit space bar once before the Two Hours Later title is shown:
As above but with James's dialogue.
At end of dialogue letterbox view remains. WSAD do nothing.
Press space and regain movement control but letterbox remains. As above, can not reload but this time the scroll menu is not available.

To progress to next mission:
Tap space once before Two Hours Later appears. When you see the AI infront of you, tap space once again.
You now have full control. To test, fire a shot then hit R. If you reload, it worked, if not, restart and try again.
The date, time and location appear in the bottom right but really slowly. FPS is around 23.
Proceed to Strategic Map and the Tipping Point mission is available.

Upon selecting to start Tipping Point the screen goes black and stays black. I hit space a few times. Alt-tabbed to add to this note, then when I alt-tabbed back it was loading the Tipping Point mission.

I have the same problem. I have an average of 15FPS. I discovered 2 bugs to pass through this. 1 - Just press space even before it appears the "Two hours late" then you get the characters and the scenario but you'll get stuck after, and to pass that "stuck" just try to spin while press V. Should work but you'll get no objectives.

Sorry for the bad english.

Mass-closing resolved issues updated only last year - assuming fixed correctly.

Cheers!

Thanks Gekon, really appreciate the prompt fix!

I have added strings in question into LanguageCore. It is only distributed with new .exe on Steam so it might take a while. Note: currently only English before they get translated.

Do what i do and blame BIS, but i blame the engine

Unable to repro, as it was said before. I can shoot out and destroy windows from inside and without problem shoot enemies.

Also, when filing another ticket please try to give as much information as possible and make it less of a rant. If you want to rant, head over to the forums.

features are yet to be added, yes, this game feels beta, but this engine is over 10 years old

Windows
Walls that fall down, as square blocks, enter the earth as a whole, feels like 2001 again
Clipping through walls and fences with vaulting

> They actually added clipping as a game feature to prevent people from getting stuck

Rocks and cliffs in the world cant be walked on properly, ie. they are props
Trees that either disappear or fall down without leaving a stump

  > The rest of the tree clips through everything

I could keep going all day

one word - bipods))) NEED

This game is still a beta in my mind.. so much shit missing, like the engine wasnt finished and features are still in progress

several tickets are there for bipods and resting support.

i think he meant bullets coming from inside wont destroy windows or damage anything beyond it

i did a test in the beta a long time ago, but some very small windows can be used to send grenades and bullets even if they are there, they make no difference in objects.

Windows make a shattering noise but still cause bullets to change their flightpaths. Ie. windows are indestructible ( small windows not store windows )

Unable to reproduce. I can destroy windows without any issues.

Try contacting them directly: http://www.bistudio.com/english/support

Or contacting steam support.

Sorry for the inconvenience. I found http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/canAddItemToBackpack

As discussed in many threads including this one: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?184110-Select-all-gear-classnames-per-playerside

Also related talk-page of the VA system: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Talk:Arsenal

Everything in the game is side-based, so it makes sense to also be able to be able to select the weapons per default side.

This is still an issue. For some reason, it applies to missions created in the editor, but not to campaign missions. I haven't tried multiplayer yet.

me too

Unable to reproduce.

Still happens to me everytime. Using no mods.

Interesting.

I found a fix for my problem which also aapplied to DayZ standalone. All you have to is right click the ArmA 3 exe file and click troubleshoot compatability. It will the run the game with sound somehow. The next time you run ArmA 3 you can run it normally without having to right click and hit troubleshoot compatibility.

GREAT!!!! that worked for me ! many thanks!

When any of you guys lose sound, do the subtitles disappear? If I give an order after my sound has been disabled by the game, I don't see subtitles and none of the orders actually occur. ( So If I ordered a soldier to stop, I would see no subtitle and they would not stop ) Does this happen to anyone else?

I have exactly the same issue

Sometimes ArmA 3 stops playing sound through one speaker of my USB headphones. Only happens on ArmA 3. When I pause the game, both speakers work. If I alt-tab when it happens, and test the sound/headphones, sound plays through both speakers.

I'm having the same problem intermittently. I've found that if I change my output device to my speakers and back to my headphones then try launching Arma again, it'll fix it (although sometimes I have to do this multiple times).

Here's the relevant part of the .rpt (I can post the full RPT if necessary):

11:55:55 Sound engine not initialized properly - dummy sound implementation used, NO SOUND !!!
11:55:55 InitSound ...
11:55:55 InitSound - complete

Happens to me sometimes, randomly in game, I just restart.

Sadly no. It happens with whatever sound output I'm using. If I use my headset: nothing. If I use my speakers: nothing.

Does it only happen when you have headphones plugged in?

I'm having the same issue. Just randomly out of the blue ArmA 3 sounds just stopped working. I used to not be able to see it in the volume mixer but now it's appearing but still no sound. I've tried everything as well (DirectX, windows hotfix, changing playback settings, volume control options, in-game menus). This also only happens for ArmA 3. Not any other game I own. I recently checked the rpt files located in the appdata/local/arma3 folder and it says this:

23:42:47 Sound engine not initialized properly - dummy sound implementation used, NO SOUND !!!
23:42:47 InitSound ...
23:42:47 InitSound - complete

What does this mean? It looks like I've found the problem but I've looked everywhere and I can't seem to find anything related to fix it. Help please. Thanks.
