Does Combat Ops Everon Allow Saves?

[★BigShot★]

is there some way to save our progress in the 1.1 experimental branch of Combat Ops?

[Tiberius664]

i thnk it has on save, it is really fun but also really brutal, doing it solo

[cyclone]

I don't think that it does.

Yea no, ALL saving in the default missions seem to be broken and not working currently. Even the Arland version of Combat Ops...and several other Scenario missions I downloaded from workshop are not able to save progress as they're supposed to.

Did this recently break due to a patch, or was this never working to begin with?


... and yes I agree the difficulty is high for solo play and the AI do not seem to be scaling at all for 1 player. It needs a AI difficulty option but I guess they removed that feature as well?

Seems there is no save. Pointless.

Still not saving with the update. Lots of fun to just go in an wreak havok, but kind of pointless until we can save our progress.

Tell me about it, between the no saves and no nite vision, there's just no playable PvE content for me in this game...the YT shills never seemed to mention this.

[KallevomDach]

Yeah, Combat Ops on Everon is a huge step forward. Makes really fun. But without saving my progress its useless for me to host a singleplayer mission. Not all of us have the time to spend hours on a mission.

Anyone know of any other PvE mission (even workshop) where they know for sure the saves are actually working because you currently play & use it as of March 2024?...please post link below, if you can!

I think Overthrow have save feature.

Wish I knew before I bought it...

What I'm doing with my friends for Conflict, I start the server in MP and I switch to Game Master and I Save the scenario as GM.

Then next time we play, I start the server, hop into GM mode and Load the scenario, so It's 90% the same as when we left off (buildings and caputred points are still there, you keep your XP although you have to Spawn in the first time so you must redo your kit).
Sometimes AI disapear, not sure why but you can always spawn them back in with GM.

For PVE I suggest ConflictPVERemixedVanilla mod.

As far as I know, solo Combat Ops allows save. Not sure for MP, didn't try.

It SHOULD work. Working saves for Combat Ops played in SP were even mentioned in some changelog.
But it doesn't.
So far, everytime i tried to continue Combat Ops mission in progress, it just spawned me in a new instance. Start from scratch. No missions finished, no collected gear.
So i guess it's broken. Or - at least it was before the April 1st update, i haven't played after that, but that update prolly contains just some jokey ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ instead of regular stuff.

[★BigShot★]

So then it sounds like it's STILL broken?

I'll come back in 5 years...maybe by then Bohemia will be out of money and back to actually working full time on this franchise.

Lord knows these are not the same people who gave us OFP in 2001. Their work ethic is just so bad.

I dunno about bad work ethics. Everyone was clearly told right from the get-go, that Reforger is basically just a public Enfusion tech-demo. Sort of - Abandon hopes of full-on Arma experience yee who enter - sort of deal.

BTW you're prolly right about BI having different crew, it's been 20+ years since OFP. Not many people stay doing one job for that long.
And at least from one point of view, i'm glad for that, because Arma-Reforger is the first ever game voiced in my native Czech Language that doesn't give me absolutely horrendous cringe overload.
OFP voiceover in their native Czech was soooo cringey i couldn't play it at all, despite absolutely loving the gameplay. Had to get an English-voiced release.
What are you complaining about exactly here? Bugs? OFP was horrendously bugged. Did you forget their famous FADE DRM triggering in legit copies of the game?
NVM. I'm not saying Reforger is perfect, but it's pretty much what i expected. A testing ground for stuff that might be eventually passed down to Arma4.

How is serializing save data so complicated? I gave up on BI for 20 years after that FADE bs. After buying the game 3 times and BI support giving up on me, I cracked the hell out of it just to find it crashed too often to play much anyway. I finally come back and give them another chance and this is the experience? This might be the most regrettable game purchase I've made. I wish they had just said the game is perma-beta or early access or something. Same continuity problems, null pointer exceptions and divide by zero errors with no fing error checking, same laser eyed bots with terrible behavior, same experience of not ever completing a game without a crash. I wish they would just reimplement the game logic in UE and quit this already. I'm barely getting 60fps on a 3090 with settings turned down a little. For what? The carbon footprint of this game is palpable lol, like 1KW/h of energy to make this run until it doesn't and look as pretty as SDR can manage. The ROI is getting headshot with 40mms at 1200m from an adjacent mountaintop and crashing right after from a use after free violation and I can't even pick up where I left off because saving doesn't work. @#%@!
