Filthy Casual, Hi! Don't blame yourself, Arma is very confusing sometimes. I think the problem might be that you are missing a required mod. Double check your loaded mods in the Arma launcher with the required mod list on this page. If you would like I can also make a mod_preset.html for you so you can just import the mod list through the launcher. Please try as I have suggested and if the problem persists, we can voice chat and I'll figure it out. Let me know.

whenever I try to load the mission through a local server I get stuck in role assignment, because it doesn't show any "roles" to assign myself but it won't let me start the game until I assign a role for myself (or at least that's what I'm assuming)? sorry cuz ik I'm probably just being a retard and missing something obvious :P
