Hey, Dont flame me for not posting this in trouble shooting, more people read this thread.

Since updating from 1.29 to 1.30 with shop bought proper copies before some idiot suggests I run a pirated copy, I have lost the ability to issue commands to soldiers when I play an officer. I can press all the buttons but never get the command either written on the screen or said verbally.
the consequence is obvious no one ever does anything I tell them too, thereby making it impossible to play many missions that came with the game or that I downloaded from operation flashpoint Arena.
Has anyone experienced this?
Does anyone know why this has happened?
Is it a known bug?
Is there a fix?
I'm getting desperate now and need your help lads and ladies.

Cheers in advance

Uninstall OFP and reinstall and use v1.10 (EU), v1.20 and the gold upgrade to upgrade ONLY.

Delete the Beta patches

1.1 is an interim upgrade, upgrade to 1.2 from 1.0 directly if necessary.

thanks, but I uninstalled everything and deleted all ofp folders, before reinstalling v1.0 then upgraded to v1.2, then I used the 1.3 upgrade.
It should have worked.

With the gold upgrade (when I buy it) can I update directly from v1.0???

There is a known bug that causes radio commands not to be transmitted when you change Radio volume in Audio options to zero. This bug will be fixed in next patch. As a workaround do not set your radio volume to zero.

If your radio volume is not zero, I have no idea what is the problem. You might want to try following ideas, but there is no guarantee it will help:

1) Try selecting different speaker in "Player Edit" screen.
2) Try both values of switch: Voices All / Single in "Audio options" screen.
3) Try different settings  of audio HW acceleration level (none, standard, full) (in windows advanced audio properties).
