OVERVIEW

The ArmA: Cold War Rearmed (CWR) modification is a collaborative project with BI and community fans to bring the ever popular Cold War Crisis campaign and content into ArmA (1.14 or higher).

Key features:

  • Original OFP islands taking advantage of the new texture and vegetation enhancements
  • New vehicles from the Cold War era
  • New units textured in the Cold War era style
  • OFP-like UI design
  • The whole CWC campaign
  • All OFP single- and multiplayer missions from BI


CONTENT

The Public Beta Release contains everything that was included in OFP and OFP: Resistance:

  • Malden island
  • Everon island
  • Kolgujev island
  • Nogova island
  • Desert Island
  • The OFP User Interface
  • Completely new US, Russian and Resistance soldiers
  • Completely new set of civilian units
  • New and converted buildings and plants
  • Music files from Operation Flashpoint

BUGFIXES & PATCHES

Fixed Resistance Campaign (v1.01)

Fixed SP Mission "Infantry" (v1.09)


INSTALLATION

In order to install the modification, run the CWR_RC3_4392.exe from the downloaded archive.

Please take note that sometimes the installer is not able to detect your correct ArmA installation folder, e.g. if you installed to a custom folder or another drive. In this case do the following:

  • Start the installer and enter a temporary folder for installation (e.g. cwr_temp. If the folder is not present it will be created.
  • Once the installation is complete, move the "CWR" folder which contains all pbo's to your ArmA installation folder - remember it's just another Modfolder.
  • The same you do with the Campaigns, Missions and MPMissions folders. Maybe the readme too.
  • If the folders are moved to your ArmA installation you can delete the temporary folder.
  • Next you must edit your ArmA shortcut (or make a new one). Like with any other Mod you add at the end of the 'target line' -mod=CWR.
    Example: c:\games\arma\arma.exe -nosplash -mod=cwr
    Alternatively copy that .bat file to your arma installation, it starts arma with the -nosplash parameter and CWR as Mod.

The installation will not modify your settings for ArmA: Armed Assault.

The technical support and troubleshooting follow the same guidelines as those for ArmA: Armed Assault. Please see the documentation for the original game for more information.


KNOWN ISSUES

  • The installer sometimes doesn't work as supposed (see above).
  • Ladders are currently not working
