No city name on spawn + cfgweapons

[qihoff 0]

Hello guys,

My problem is that when I log, I listen the machine typing the location name, but it doesn't appear on the screen bottom right...

When I log this error pops up, but after clicking ok I can play, but it's harder if I don't know where I am...

The missing file is bin\config.bin/rscInGameUI/rscunitlnfosoldier/background.type

also I have the cfgweapons error and found no solution...

Did you update Arma2 to the latest beta patch? Have you tried this on multiple servers? Make sure you're running the same (or later) version of Arma that the server is.

Yes, everything is up to date.

I'm running version 1.7.1.5 dayz mod

Beta patch 93925.

I started with 1.7.1.1 patch 93825 and I was having the same problem...

And i've tested on 40+ servers (not joking)

Well, I've got the same problem, like qihoff I have also those error messages when dayz starts the game and I hear the sound of the typewriter but there is nothing on the right bottom of the screen that informs me.

I have installed the latest beta patch and the latest dayzmod files, I also tried different servers.

the up-to-date version of the beta patch is 1.60.94444 (not sure whether that fixes it actually tho - but maybe worth a shot)

I have that version installed 1.60.94444, like I said it doesn't work.

Just I deleted the whole @DayZ map in my steam map.

D:\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\@DayZ

I created a new one and downloaded manually the dayz *.rar files, I unpacked those and placed these in D:\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\@DayZ\Addons

Then I started dayz again with a link on my desktop and it has this as target:

"D:\Steam\steamapps\common\arma 2 operation arrowhead\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -nosplash

But I still get those error messages and can't see the place where I am at the beginning. :(

I believe that the location typing is something that can be turned "off" (made unviewable) at the server level.

I run into this all the time on "hardcore" servers.

I tried a lot of servers and didn't see it anymore, but I can only hear the writing in the beginning.

You know, I don't think I've ever seen the city name... I thought people were just learning the map faster than I was... ;p

I've uploaded (uploading at the moment) a video where you can see what error messages I get and that the name of the place where you spawn is not showing on the screen.

I did a fresh install of arma 2 when I updated to the latest beta and patch 1.7.2... I now have city names. :)
