Arma 3 profile reset

Recommended Posts

Jacko    0

Hey guys,

So I jumped onto arma 3 tonight for some I&A when I found myself being bombared with pop-ups related to playing arma 3 for the first time, prompting me to do the bootcamp missions even though they were already completed. So I checked my profile and found everything had been set to default :(

Even worse, when I jumped on I&A I found that all my loadouts were gone!

Anyone know a fix for this??

Cheers.

    did you make a new profile within the game? did you install arma on a new computer? if so you might not have moved your profile. i also once lost my whole arsenal for no reason. and i have no idea why

    *put it hat on* if your realy worried you should back up your profile and games. on a seperate hdd or disk. just to be safe. if you are realy that worried about it,.

    it happens when your PC makes your profile read-only meaning Arma 3 can't actually read and write it, so it classifies it as corrupt and makes a new one. Prompting bootcamp etc. 

     

    Its a pain because you have to remap all your keys too.. (if you have custom ones) 

    This is one of those kind of things thats just like. Well shit happens.

    you can copy your setting files over ny running a force overide. threw cmd on the file and copy the keympas file and put it into you new profile same with your arma loadouts.
