Very annoying ammo box bug!!!

[Guy LeDouche]

So I have ARMA 2, OA, BAF, and PMC. A2 and AO are retail, BAF and PMC were downloaded through Sprocket. Anyways, a few weeks ago, I went to one of the TAW.net Coop servers, and they have ammo boxes for everything (US, BAF, PMC, TK). The first few sessions were fine. I'd always go to the PMC ammo box because I loved the AS-12. Then suddenly, one day, I went to that server again and the box was gone. Nowhere to be found. I figured maybe they just decided to delete it or whatever. That is, until I saw other people walk up to where the box use to be and choose their weapons! One guy even chose weapons for me, then dropped them so I could pick them up.

So I asked multiple TAW guys what the problem could be, and they're assholes, so they just say, "JUST CHOOSE A DIFFERENT WEAPON!" Thanks, great help. After that session, I noticed each time I'd go into their server, it would give me an error message:

"MPMissions\_CUR_MP.Takistan/mission.sqm/Mission/Vehicles/Hem8888883.vehicle:Vehicle class Ammobox_PMC no longer exists"

Now, that's pretty much saying the ammo box was removed from the map, right? If so, why can people still use it and I can't?

To make matters worse, it is now happening on MULTIPLE servers. It happening on a =7thCav= Coop server, I believe, and they all just completely ignored me. I got the same error message as above there too.

My boiling point was just before I started this thread, I was playing on a random server and NONE of the ammo boxes showed up. People were crowded around one area and I saw their weapons changing. I didn't get an error message like I usually do when I enter a server, but something popped up a few minutes after I noticed the bug again. I accidentally pressed my space bar or something and it went away before I got to read it. It wasn't as long as the usual message though.

complete stab in the dark but have you tried clearing your MP missions cache folder?

[Guy LeDouche]

I just tried that, and went to a =7thCav= server, and the bug still occurs. What I noticed though is that none of the folders for the missions had anything in them, not even the 7th Cav one I just tried. Is that normal or could that have something to do with it?

I can conferee that this bug is not been solved and is still bugging me on =7Cav=Servers. It usually occurs when new game starts and i cant get ammo for Mk.17 RCO, MAAWS, or M110 TWS.
And not even disconnect will solve a problem. I have tall them (7Cav) dozen times to fix that bug only to get advice to use a another gun.
