Arma 3 Ravage Scenarios
ALIVE is the next generation dynamic persistent mission addon for Arma 3. Developed by Arma community veterans, the easy to use modular mission framework provides everything that players and mission makers need to set up and run realistic military operations in almost any scenario up to Company level, including command, combat support, service support and logistics. Feb 25, 2016 - I should also mention that I'm quite new to Arma 3 so maybe this is really obvious, but not really to me so any help would be really appreciated! Read the ARMA 3 Getting Started Guide in the Wiki. DISCUSSION Looking for Open World/Sandbox Ravage MP scenarios. Some of the open world Ravage scenarios seemed really cool, but literally none of them seem to be regularly updated, or they won't work on our dedicated server (which I didn't even know was a thing for MP scenarios).
Arma 3 Ravage Missions
This problem is related to the issue discussed in Ticket, 'Saved games go missing'. That ticket was fixed and closed, but the problem of saved games disappearing (not able to Resume a scenario) still exists if ARMA 3 shuts down in a bad way (ARMA crashes, computer crashes, power outage, hit the rest button, etc.).The problem is related to failing to 'Save and Exit' when exiting a scenario.
When you load ARMA 3 and resume a single player scenario, it deletes the 'continue.Arma3Save' in your 'Saved' folder (while you are playing the scenario). Normally, when you exit the scenario, you would click the 'Save and Exit' button and it recreates the continue.Arma3Save file. This file is just a save game file, like all your other save game files. If this file is missing, then you cannot resume your Scenario even though the save games are all still there. Instead of getting a 'Resume' button on the Scenario screen, you just get a Play button as if the saved games are gone. The issue is 100% repeatable for me. In my case, I found the problem when playing the Pilgrimage 1.94 scenario downloaded form Steam.
I believe this is specific to Steam scenarios based on comments from and not specific to Pilgrimage, but I don't know for sure as I did not test with other scenarios. I can do that if needed. Load ARMA and start playing a scenario. Save games if desired.
Cause ARMA 3 to exit in a bad way (simulate a crash or power outage so ARMA does not give you the chance to 'Save and Exit'. When you restart ARMA and run the scenario, instead of getting a Resume button, you will get a Play button and it is as if your save games are gone.Refer to for other notes about how this might be affected by default vs. Alternate profiles. Though that issue was resolved, the underlying reason why it can happen still exists. The fact that if the continue.Arma3Save file is not recreated, ARMA 3 will not let you resume an old save game file. The save games are stored in the following two locations for scenarios depending on which profile you are playing as:Default ProfileC:Users(username)DocumentsArma 3SavedsteamScenarioName.MapNameAlternate ProfilesC:Users(username)DocumentsArma 3 - Other Profiles(ARMA Profile Name)SavedsteamScenarioName.MapNameThere is a Workaround as explained in:The work around is to copy your last save game file and rename it to 'continue.ArmaSave', and then restart ARMA 3, you should now be able to Resume your scenario and access your previous saved games as well. This work around was explained by goertzenator on Sep 11 2014, 8:05 PM for Ticket.
