Armed Assault Info Forums _ Mods _ Vietnam: The Experience | arma.exe has stopped working

Posted by: Aardman55 Feb 6 2012, 22:06

Hello first
I want to play VTE (cause the UNSUNG Vietnam War mod has not got that much of units, and is not compatible with the SLX mod.)
But ALWAYS when i want to start a mission i made in the editor (more likely, i just place one unit since i dont want to waste time.) it crashes.
The music/soundtrack works (which i enjoy the most biggrin.gif ) and always when i start the game, the menu shows me a nice battle of some marines fighting vietcong / some marines wandering through the jungle with a nice piece of music in the background.

Heres some info:
Reinstalled it.
I got patch 1.11 / version 1.11.86734
I have extended eventhandlers (CBA since there is no more XEH and its in CBA as i know, latest version (i think, CBA v0.8.3.175) .)
On startup (when the boxes get checked) i get a window saying "Addon 'vte_weapons_cfg' requires addon 'CAWeapons_E_AmmoBoxes' just when the last 2 boxes get checked.
I have UNSUNG Vietnam War mod too.

Please help.
Thanks.

Try updating your version to 1.18 (the latest version, which you can find http://www.armedassault.info/index.php?game=0&cat=patches&id=29), if that doesn't work, try reinstalling ArmA. (anytime you see a missing addon error that has a CA prefix, that usually means it's one of the vanilla files).

It might also be worth making sure you've got a version for ArmA, not ArmA.2, I think both VTE and Unsung have released versions for both games, and they won't be cross-compatible.

Ok thanks.
BTW i have Both arma and arma 2 but i mean arma 2, since arma 1 is messed up (ill try to fix it later)
But thanks however biggrin.gif

EDIT:
It might be Operation Arrowhead, which i need.
I think i still got it. Or hope more likely.

Moving this to the ArmA.2 section.

I can confirm that "CAWeapons_E_AmmoBoxes" is an arrowhead file.

SUCCES! biggrin.gif
It works, and good news, it is BETTER then arma 2. Much more realistic, smoother graphics, can not wait to fill charlie with some napalm biggrin.gif
I hope patch 1.60 also removed the stupid error of oa crashing all 5 minutes.
[u]Nope. But atleast it now crashes all 10 minutes.
Forget it, i dled the beta patchs and now it works fine biggrin.gif thanks for all the help btw.
Also, for the googlers who got the same problem, the fix is:
Install / Buy Operation Arrowhead (after my experience) my friend had the same problem , told him to get oa and it fixed it.
