Mike Force Mission Persistence/Save Location

Snakedoctor

Hey everyone,

I have had my mission persistence/save wiped twice now. Both times were after a server restart. My dedicated server is on a 4 hour restart schedule. After the restart this afternoon, the previous 2 days of playtime and progress were wiped.

Where does the mission store its persistence/save? Is it in .vars.armaprofile or in the "vn_mf_latest.cam_lao_nam.pbo" file that is created when you run the mission on your server for the first time?

Maybe we can all compile some of our findings here since there isn't any documentation at the moment.

It appears that the mike force mission save is stored in your "YOURPROFILENAME.vars.armaprofile" file on the server. This is pretty standard for arma missions.

This means you can make backups of the .vars.armaprofile periodically and if you have your mission wipe, you can restore it.

I HIGHLY recommend doing this as it seems I am not the only person having the mission wipe after restarts. Something is corrupting the save and its starting a new one in its place. Until we get some kind of official response, I will be doing backups.
