Loading Combat Cargo, Something is wrong here?

[BeirutDude]

OK, either I'm doing something very wrong (operator error) or there are major issues with the loading of combat cargo on ships (I'm betting the former! [8D] ). Trying to create some modern amphibious scenarios and a USN Essex Class LHD can only load 10 Mass tons! Really? I want my tax dollars back. [:D] And this is across the board with ALL amphibious classes! The weight of the cargo and the carry capacity don't seem to make sense. So OK I built Med Amphibious Ready Group 1-83 a unit I am intimately familiar with and know the cargo load out by heart (it is the MARG I went to Beirut with). Guys I know we had more than 1 AAV-7 and 2 M-198s but that is ALL I can load on the ARG's vessels. The weight of one of our M-60 Tanks exceeds the entire ARG;s carry capacity in the game!

Now am I doing something wrong? Is there something I am missing. What am I doing wrong here?

I'm not crazy!!!!!! Well maybe I am [:D] [8D] but there is an issue. After much hunting found this...

This was fixed in a beta build shortly after it was reported, the current beta incorporates that fix.

[BeirutDude]

Great! Unfortunately, my computer will not let me load from 7-Zip, I don't understand why. I'll just wait to work on these scenarios until it is official.

Ref the 7-Zip problem. Have you tried right clicking on the file in you download folder and choosing extract to..

Might help, might not - but I can confirm that the cargo issue is fixed.

Gunner, yeah thanks for the help, but I did try that. Its some bizarre permissions problem my computer has with 7-Zip that we can't figure out but it won't overwrite any files out of it. Appreciate it!

[guanotwozero]

Can you use 7-zip to write to a different folder? If so you can then cut/paste with overwrite as necessary. Typical problems come from trying to write to anything under the "program files" directory - a UAC issue.

[BeirutDude]

No I've tried that multiple times, and just tried it again to be sure. It just won't write certain 7-Zip files to my drive but it has no problem with an official update. Now I do have to download an official update, it won't auto update for me. I even tried disabling my anti-virus, no joy.

[BeirutDude]

This is the result I get, even unpacking into a unique folder.

Maybe try run 7-Zip as administrator. Find 7 zip in programs, right-click executables, select more (Window 10) and then run as administrator.

Hope help.

And if that works, you can make it always do so by finding the 7-zip executable, then right-click->Properties->Compatibility, select "Run this program as an administrator", then OK it.

[BeirutDude]

Tried all of that, also uninstalled 7-ZIP and reloaded it (further screwing up my 7-Zip I might add). Now it doesn't have 7-Zip associations when you right click!

[guanotwozero]

Dang! Next thing I'd do is to uninstall, delete its dir under ProgramFiles, reboot, reinstall. Hopefully that should get back the context menu. Then I'd plug in a USB drive and see if its possible to unzip a file there. If that fails, I'd start looking on the 7-zip forums for a solution - there might be a known issue with the latest version.

I think you have a serious problem on your PC. There is no reason 7-zip or WinRAR should fail like that. I would get some professional help for it. Not just so you can do something with CMO, but because there seems to be a serious underlying problem.

[BeirutDude]

It is a known 7-Zip issue but there doesn't seem to be a consistent answer.

[guanotwozero]

There are older versions on the download page - it's probably worth trying one of them, e.g. the 2016 version.

[thewood1]

I have used 7-zip and WinRAR on over 20 PCs over the last 10 years and have never seen an issue like that in particular. I think you should get it checked out.

I would have unzipped the files into folder in c:\temp or something away from c:\Program Files. And then copied into the appropriate folders.

I have run into a few issues with Window updates recently which seem to be 'protecting' my folders from me. When I check the folder properties, it tells me the folder is 'read-only'!! Do I un-click the property and apply it to the folder. Now it is writable again.
[It happened to my C:\temp the first time and took me awhile to figure out what was wrong. Now I just check the folder permission if I can't write to it]

[guanotwozero]

I've just installed the latest 7-7ip (19.00), after uninstalling an older version and a couple of reboots. My Windows 10 is up to date, and I'm in as administrator.

I cannot unzip into a folder under 'Program Files (x32 or x64)'*
I can unzip into any other directory.
I can unzip into any Steam library dir, such as for CMO, which is several layers under 'Program Files (x86)'. *The permissions for the Steam dir seem to be an exception.

If you're unable to unzip anywhere, then it does look like there's a problem with your Windows setup. Could it be that your User account doesn't have full admin privileges?

[BrianinMinnie]

Yea depending on your setups and permissions, Windows likes to lock down some directories to prevent fatfinger mass destruction!!!
