BetterDeadThanZed Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 I had this problem once before but it some how resolved itself and I don't remember how. Now it's come back in the last couple of weeks. When I join a server, I don't see the loading screen. It's just a black screen. Here's a screenshot of the error from when I connect to my takistan server: I just finished uninstalling and reinstalling Arma 2 and Arma 2 OA in an attempt to fix this. I made sure I completely deleted all traces of it right down to the registry entries. I am still having this issue. Could BE be blocking the files for some reason? Besides the standard Windows Firewall, I'm not running any extra antimalware/security software that might be affecting it. I've checked my AppData\Local\ArmA 2 OA\MPMissionsCache folder and the __cur_mp.pbo is in there and the loadscreen.jpg that it says it can't load is there. I'm not even sure why it's naming the pbo that it downloads that and maybe that has something to do with it, I"m not sure. I did have 1 other player mention this happening to him.

BetterDeadThanZed Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 The size of the mission file is irrelevant but thanks for the replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck0 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Holy, you have a 6mb mission file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDubya Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I know of a group of servers that have an almost 10meg mission file. Not so much of a drama in these days of broadband internet I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Holy, you have a 6mb mission file? Usually it's images that make file sizes huge, the OPs file is .jpg but if it was .paa the file size would be a lot smaller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fr1nk Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 I had this happen once - turns out the mission file was corrupted so I just deleted __cur_mp.pbo and everything worked again. You mentioned checking the file but not sure if you've tried deleting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Images from what i remember must be inside a .pbo, although the mission will run without the .pbo container Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetterDeadThanZed Posted June 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 It's not a server side issue. It works for other people and I get the same thing on all servers I join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
