Oh, believe me, I've noticed. I actually never finished the game the first time through. I don't remember how far I made it, but I know I never finished. I think I finally hit a level where I just couldn't get past it and then just gave up. I still have my retail copy somewhere at my parents' house two states over, but I just like the convenience of steam where I don't have to move around and maintain a hundred discs whenever I move. Oh well, thanks anyway. I'll keep messing around with the xmls, maybe try extracting the xpatch.bundle to see if they have new mission scripts in there. Will post if I find anything and will keep checking back in case anyone has any pearls of wisdom for me. How can they have released a game to steam without even checking to see if it has basic functionality, like, say, the effing cross-com? I know no companies support mods, so I guess I can't really blame them for this, but not having a few commands work (and I haven't yet reached Ready for Bear, but it almost sounds like the glitch there is fatal) is just plain ridiculous. For shame, EA, for shame. Cheers, barriboy

Hi guys, Sorry to revive an old thread, but I have been having some trouble with a steam version of the game. I am trying to mod in extra save points as described here: http://www.ghostrecon.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=35612 I had it all working on level 1 (I had played the game previously, but just repurchased on steam and am looking for an easier playthrough) with the added saves, only to find that the cross com wasn't working. Using the method above, I got it working, only to find that I couldn't then use the action button... By switching action's grouping to tactics, I could get that to work to. Unfortunately, this has ruined the mod. It no longer seems to reference the missionXX.xml files. I even unpacked the bundles and started over from scratch, but it still seems to gloss right over my mods. Does anyone have any idea how to get around this? I was just playing through as normal, but I am stuck in the embassy and just keep getting insta-killed by a rocket or grenade or some damn thing. I remember how long it took me to get past that scene last time, and I just don't think I have the patience anymore. Thanks in advance. Cheers, barriboy
