Short version-
Arma 3 on Steam. Current to update 1.84.
About two dozen mods, mostly terrains and WWII units. Primarily CUP terrains and associated files, Faces of War, Geist A3 Lite, CSA38, IFA3 AIO Lite, etc. I also use 3den Enhanced.
I have a problem: several units are just missing from the editor as 'Assets'. Most CSAT units for example. And most Gendarmerie. I have, as saved WIP missions, scenarios that have various CSAT and Gendarme units. When I open them, I can copy the units and paste them into any scenario I like. However they are missing from the 'Assets' list: I cannot create them from the Assets list.
I uninstalled all mods. Big gaps were present in the 'Assets' for all factions. Some empty bullet points were present; many actually. You can click the bullet point as normal, and the list expands except...nothing is there. Weapons like the P07 pistol were missing; on uninstalling all mods it is back, still present even after re-installing all mods.
I feel my only recourse is to 'delete local content' via Steam and re-install using my original Steam key. Which sucks.
Any other suggestions?

yea it sounds like your arma3 is a bit borked! Before totally uninstalling though i'd run the verify option, (right click game - properties - local files - verify integrity of game files)as that just re-downloads any files that it finds that doesn't match steams "main" version, then check again (no need to uninstall/delete mods either), if you've still got missing stuff, then yea, nuke it and start again!

Soooo....no joy. Files are there. Just seems to be some broken link between the assets and the editor. Going to back up my missions and reinstall. ....sigh...

No response from Steam. Did various installs and experimented.
Looks like a mod (all mods are from steam subscription) is not playing nice with other mods I have. Which really, really sucks. I have some pretty polished missions had months of effort that are useless now.

Random update
Missing units recovered. I installed mods laboriously backing up as I went, to see which ones were "problems". Since I got to the end of my mod list and all units are present again, either something was just plain corrupted in a mod file or the load order was the issue. Aggravating.
Now, the two missions I polished the most are problematic.Will not load. Arma thoughtfully shows the problem file reference. All required mods are present, but a file is missing in one of them. I ID'd the file and searched online; other people have had the issue.
I'm now trying to ID all instances of that file being present in those two missions and removing references in the file.
Ug. Haven't given up figuring it out myself; I get a strange pleasure from beating me head against the wall.
