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.


SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

ANY ORIGINAL VERSION OF ARMA 1.14.

System requirements for Cold War Rearmed are identical to those of the original game. ArmA: Queens Gambit should not be used together with this modification.


KNOWN ISSUES

  • The installer sometimes doesn't work as supposed (see above).
  • Ladders on some ArmA models are currently not working.
  • Winter Kolgujev might crash because the vegetation pbo is missing.
