Yerrr, turns out the my fix sorted everything...EXCEPT Alive...

Still the /author error

Good news, It's fixed. I verified my cache and it said it was fine but then i also got a download of i think 6.8 mb and then it was fixed. So i can't tell whether it was a data repair or a BIS hotfix, either way, it's sorted now. Thanks

I am using others, all together,
but it only appears when i use Alive.

CBA_A3?

I'll try repairing it and verifying cache, i'll let you know.

Thanks for the quick reply.

They are both from steam.

I'll double check they have both self-updated. I know Alive definitely has because i re-downloaded it using steam today.

I have been getting the error pop-up '/author is not a value' at the start of my Alive missions since 1.60 update. I have been getting it when enabling some other mods too.

Does anybody know what the problem is and how to fix it?

It is quite annoying seeing a full screen pop-up error for something that seems like a trivial config error.
