I've been searching and I can't really find any good solution to the "debug forest" glitch. It happens on any server I connect to, and last time I actually spawned unconscious for no reason (no I was not previously in shock). I'm just glad I finally got EVERYTHING updated and the newest arma beta patch installed, but I'm still having the empty world glitch for every server. A lot of people tell each other to run 2km east until they reach the map or something, but I'd rather not do that. I want to spawn in the watch tower that I had been in before getting this glitch. I don't know if I've missed the actual solution somewhere, but if I have, please tell me what it is. Once again, everything is up to date including Arma II itself.

I followed the directions in this popular tutorial EXACTLY and the game still tells me I have 1.60. I also get the infamous "Debug Forest" glitch whenever I go to a server that ISN'T running any beta patch. So yeah, I love how this modification works once in a blue moon, and when it doesn't it's up to the players to fix it. Tell me I'm whining, I don't care. This game seemed fun but now it's utterly broken and ACTUALLY unplayable. Also, third person view makes my character invisible and in first person my wrist looks broken.

I have a good understanding of mostly everything in this game, I believe, but I have a really bad sense of direction and I never know where I should head next. My other friend says he wouldn't play this anymore shortly after I got it due to lag becoming unbearable or something like that. I don't know how severely ping effects gameplay in this game exactly, but I would preferably like to stick to any US server with a relatively small amount of people. (20-30 sounds good but I'm not too picky, if it has to have a lot of people, I don't mind. I'll most likely die, though) Anyway, looking for anyone who wants to partner up. I'll enjoy this game more if I can play with others. And yeah, I've only played 5 hours. So, it would be especially helpful if someone would give me tips and whatnot :s
