OA Campaign: 07 "Eye of the Typhoon"

[Jack]

I have attempted to beat this mission numerous times to no avail. My efforts have included:

1. Changing difficulty levels
2. Accomplishing objectives in different orders
3. Not saving/saving the POWs

It feels, to be honest, like Manhattan did before ArmA2 was patched. Each time I accomplish all objectives the mission doesn't end. This happens in both single player and when hosted in multiplayer.

Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Well I finally "beat" the mission. It seems that much like "Open Season" the mission won't end until you fail, Spoiler:

Aziz escapes.

I finished the 3 goals successfully (the dictator was killed by some of the allied forces, i rescued the POWs, and stopped the SCUDs), and the mission didn't end.

In whatever case, it was the last mission for me, i finished it with the endmission cheat and the credits were the next thing to see.

I didn't finish the mission because of absolutely bad performance (low FPS / stuttering). How were your frames?

Other than that (when I still was trying to play) I didn't find the POWs at (and around) the position they were supposed to be...

Here's how my attempts played out:

1. I chose to save the POWs, got to the palace and the POWs were dead, I restarted. (I think I was too slow in getting there)
2. I chose to save the POWs, I get there and they are alive. Then I get a call saying Aziz is driving off in his SUV somewhere but some Allied choppers are pursuing him. So I figure I'll finish off the SCUDS and his villa. Sometime during all that I got a message that he escaped, which leads to mission 08.

Yeah that's what was really frustrating for me too. After I finally failed the two major objectives I won (or at least the mission completed), which was kind of surprising.

lol i did'nt had that 08 mission , it skipped into 09 -ending
I choose - save POW's and saved them and then to Aziz house and Aziz was gone?! - his SUV blowed up - founded his wreck but no dead Aziz . Then mission stucked so i had to restart and done again then it was ok

So were you able to play the mission with some decent FPS?

I found Aziz running around with the some Takistani soldier in the north of Zargrabad on the road leading to another small town. I didn't even see his SUV at the villa. Also, did anyone see the dead pilot ( Airforce guy) at Aziz's villa mentioned by Sgt Drake when questioning the POWs? Is there a way to save him as well?

Hmm just finished OA campaign.... POWs died and I don't know how Aziz died, because when I was in the building trying to save the POWs one of the soldiers said that Aziz was eliminated (something like that) Still love OA
