Can't save progress in "SP mode"

[MasterTouchMe]

It seems like i can't save the progress in single player mode. I looked on the internet for answers only to find out that this problem was supposed to be solved since 2022... As a single player, i don't enjoy sweating and dying for minutes only to lose my progression on a mission i can't resume...

I just tested it on Everon Conflict under "Play" on Experimental and Release. Both saved my progress.

I never tested it on experimental but release doesn't save whatever progress

I would try going here C:\Users\your username\Documents\My Games\ArmaReforger\profile\.save and move or delete anything in that folder and try again.

I deleted everything in that folder and even the folder itself. I tried again but the game still does not want to save my progress

Not sure what to say other than verify game files. Maybe someone else has an idea.

If you do the following you will be able to save progress. Looks like a lot but it actually takes about 20 second to do.

Single Player as Local Host

Game Menu

Go to Multiplayer > Host > Host New Server
Server Name > Leave AS IS
Scenario > choose scenario (Server name will auto fill)
Players > 1
BattlEye > NO (single player local game so don't need it)
Third Person > NO (preference)

Mods Tab

Persistent Load Outs (req to save load outs)
Keep Abandoned Vehicles (req to keep abandoned vehicles >only per session<)
Load any other desired mods

Advanced Settings Tab

Host Lan > YES

Bottom right > SAVE (advise using auto filled name)

Choose > Host Locally

After you have actually entered the game and are at the starting base, hit ESC and choose GameMaster. You will see a save icon at top. Choose that and save it.

After you have played your session, choose GameMaster and SAVE again before exiting. You can save over the first one and continue to save over that file each session.

Saved Load Outs require an Arsenal at base so until you build one that option will be non selectable. Arsenal is the first thing I build, create loadout, and save loadout in arsenal menu.

Keep Abandoned Vehicles will only work per session, so even though you saved the game, vehicles will not be saved. It only keeps them from vanishing during the session.

When returning to play again, go through the same steps of becoming local host. Once you are in the game, you choose GameMaster and then LOAD and select the saved game.

Are you sure you are going into GameMaster and not Admin? If the save icon is not showing up, and you followed my instructions exactly, you have something wrong with your installation.

Take a screen capture of the screen where you are trying to save the game and post it here.

Ok... it apparently does not work for Combat Scenarios, which is what you are playing in the screen shot. It does work for Conflict. I don't know why. Sorry I couldn't help.

I just tried Combat Arland in Experimental. It shows it auto saving at various points during progress. I completed two objective, die, left game, loaded game and hit resume arrow. It put me back at the main start point and the objectives I had completed were gone so it did save progress.

Is it not doing that for you?

I just tried Combat Arland in both Release version and Experimental. I never saw auto save display on Release version, like it does on Experimental, but I did complete an objective, save and exit, resumed and it kept up with my progress.

It sounds like you have a write issue going on or some corrupt game files.
