Yes
where do you find C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop?
Files?
I've no idea, I dont game on PC a lot
@fringe salmon click on this bar bit at the top of file explorer
Copy + paste C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\!Workshop in
open it with a text editor.
AKA whichever your text editor is, just use it. Even Notepad
Normal
My file is coming up different to the default example
Not really
How different?
Default
Mine
Then it said copy and paste the stuff underneath so would it not be a duplicate?
I don't have the ugchandle thing
I don't think it does matter
So should i save and load back into launcher?
I think
No
It’s working thank you very much, finally can bomb civilians as the IRA
Apologies also for my stupidity
help, i keep getting kicked from a LAN server, i cant join
disable battleEye?
i closed it still not working
gonna restart the game again
Unsure does this go down here but, anyone know why steam says starting download then errors and tries again over and over.
Have you tried restarting steam
Yeah restarting PC and clearing download cache did the trick
So you telling me i can't somehow copy my insygnia from Arma 3 units and give it in arsenal to uniform on random unit
You can do that it just requires a tiny bit of effort
Context plz
blocked would be blocked by BE methinks
You can, just have to turn it into a "mod"
How
Start here: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unit_Insignia#Configuration
Im not a modder, so I don't know anything else
Hello, I'm trying to change my Arma 3 server difficulty but for some reason my TCAGame file only has 8 lines, is this normal?
Yes. You have to paste in the custom difficulty stuff.
Alright thanks
Where do I copy it from?
yep
So using CUP weapons I cannot change my load out. I used the standard Arsenal in the editor and pressed ok. My character showed with the new equipment in the editor but the moment I go to play as character it all respawns back to the default, anyone know why?
Are you sure you pressed ok? The buttons are flipped from some arsenals.
Yeah
is it your own mission you play?
Guys we and a friend are trying to play arma 3 together, he can see my severs and see my lan game via hamachi but I cannot see his.
I tried joing via steam and it said "server not responding" and joing via direct connect does not work
Have your friend watch this. There are rules to follow even if your friend is using Hamachi which is a VLAN option
To play a private game with your friends, you think it is as easy as starting a game. IT IS NOT! Behold, Knightin tackles the bare minimum you need to play a private game with your friends.

Yes on editor
are you runnign some specifc game mode or a lot of other mods?
can you use the arsenal to use some other than cup weapons?
I’ll have to try that tomorrow
Nope it’s plain editor
Just ACE, IRA and CUP stuff
I dont think this is default arsenal
That was before
Took that a good bit okay
I tried the default one also
When I pressed ok it displayed everything on the editor
I saw the gun I chose and the gloves
Then as soon as I press play as
It goes back to default
this is how default arsenal looks
then you will need to start first by testing that everything works normally without mods
then you only add cup and test again
then more mods and test again
some mod is most likely the culprit
It’s probably the IRA one
Is it possible the gun and uniform mod is probably the problem not allowing it to change its default appearance and load out
it also could be the unit you have used is set up with some init script that sets the gear
its bad way of making units but someone might have done that
I need some help.
When I Go Into OPFOR Tab, I Cant See Any Of My Units, Any Idea How To Fix??
OPFOR tab of what?
OPFOR tab of Zeus main screen am I right?
It is possible. Since a mission maker can restrict what you can spawn and you can't
It worked fine yesterday, i dont know how it happened
I don't know which mission you talk about so can't say anything more
I'd go in singleplayer, and jus spawn BLUEFOR n OPFOR, then today when I loaded in OPFOR didnt pop up in Zeus.
Which singleplayer?
I don't know WHICH mission of singleplayer
I do Singleplayer >Eden Editor > Then I Spawn Units N Control Them From Zeus, If That Makes Any Sense...
Eden Editor, place an unit, place a Game Master module, preview?
If that's just it, most likely a Mod issue
It's like blank
However BLUEFOR shows everything , and so does civ
It's jus OPFOR for some reason.
Okay let me rephrase: did you tested in vanilla?
I'm still pretty new, what do you mean by that?
I never had a problem with these mods, it jus started today
A game with no Mods. I thought you're a year-old player
I'll try without any mods, hold on
I never had a problem with these Mods before. Now it does, any Mods can update anytime anywhere
I'm loading without any mods
It worked without any mods
It's one of the mods then, thanks!
Troubleshoot 101: always doubt your Mods
thanks!
Generally you want to change the attributes on your zeus object to "Use all addons (including unofficial)", or whatever that option is called.
I'm not sure if ACE3, AI Mods like LAMBS, Real Engine, or others are affecting Dynamic Recon Ops, but I'm having an issue with the final extraction phase of a mission.
Alot of my singleplayer missions on various maps won't complete even though my team and I have made it outside the boundaries to trigger the Mission Complete message at the end. I find myself having to go into Zeus through Single Player Chead Mod to force the mission to end.
Does anyone know why or if there's a fix?
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/912124719900270662/995761837930991726/Arma_3_10_07_2022_19_41_48.png why does my game look like this at night
Full moon, no cloud?
what you expect night will looks like?
it looks deepfried
when i turn hdr up it fixes it but it messes up my lasers
are u using mods that alter visual?
idk what deepfried here means, it looks normal for me
Happens with vehicles as well
i think it's probably the game engine lowering the quality of stuff at night to save resources.
It only started happening after I uninstalled reshade
that could be the reason aswell
wait
after uninstall.. so it is probably because of the game engine
It only happens when hdr is on low
what happen if you max it? or just keep it at standard or high
It ruins my laser
Makes it really pixelated
I can only put it to standard
can you send a pic
having an issue where the host has mission settings set specifically (for realism and stuff) but it always gets reset when we get into the game for some reason. We thought it was because somebody was resetting them when they joined because they didnt have it set right.. but that isn't the case. anyway to force it / fix it? Its not addon settings, but difficulty via going options > game > difficulty.
(not dedicated)
i unsubbed and resubbed a bunch of times to a mod and now my drive is almost at it's max
leading theory
the old files are kept and didn't get deleted
so i have like 5 copys of a mod
how to fix?
Steam says ARMA is only taking up 40 GB of space
When I check my settings Windows can't tell me how big any Steam games are
Well, that is a very small C-drive to todays standard. If you are serious about Arma 3 or other games I would suggest to add a dedicated drive to install Arma 3, and maybe addtional mods. I use WinDirStat to find the largest folders and where big files hide. But you need to be carefull what things you delete. Don't want to corrupt your Windows in stall or important files. Then again, Windows usually protects you from that.
As for removing Arma mods, unsubscribe them first. For the following make sure Steam and Arma are shutdown. Steam Workshop mods are found in the Steam Library, inside a folder named workshop, or some levels deeper. "content" has the mods ready for use by games for each of their SteamIDs. "downloads" and "temp" is for when you are still downloading them and Steam is installing it. Maybe somthing gets stuck in there.
Will do, thanks
Looking through the files normally didn't dredge up anything, but using WinDirStat showed where all the big ticket items were
There were two folders in workshop
107410
and 228980
Using the file explorer, it showed they were empty
When I used WinDirStat, there were these huge a** folders
ok rq uhh i found the folders in steam
if i delete those
im not gonna screw windows
roit
LETSS GOOOOO
thanks valen
@thorn igloo can you send me a RPT of your last game launch?
Well, that in content was all your mods from the workshop for Arma 3. Some folder might have been correctly downloaded and functioning. If any is still left subscribed they will be redownloaded. I would only remove what is in the temp of download folder of the workshop folder.
rpt?
Arma generates a .rpt log file each time it's run, which contains a lot of information like the loaded mods, or any errors that appear, this log file can be very useful for troubleshooting problems.
To get to your RPT files press Windows+R and enter %localappdata%/Arma 3
Additionally see the wiki page for more info: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Crash_Files
To share an rpt log here, please use a website like https://sqfbin.com/ to upload the full log, that way the people helping you can take a look at it and try to figure out the problem you're having together with you.
Note: RPT logs can hold personal information relevant to your system, the game or others.
i need help with my trackir, i cannot get the z axis to work with arma
I've been trying to setup a server for my and my friends, and every time I try and set up port forwarding it fails, can anyone help?
Im trying to make a composition, Im attaching objects to a truck with the "BIS_fnc_attachToRelative" function. It works great in singeplayer eden and zeus. But as soon as I try and spawn it in multiplayer the objects cause the truck to explode... anyone have ideas as to whats wrong?
It probably spawns inside it and there is slight delay before it attaches, or the scripts get run on all clients and stuff go wrong
I'm currently having a weird issue where players can't pickup anything from crates on my server and sometimes the chat breaks causing it to put a "/" into chat with horrible typing delay upon hitting /
very big long shot, but any ideas?
Is there some sort of mod to tell which mods are loading during the loading screen?
Im getting literal 5 min long load times
and ive tried uninstalling the latest mods to be added and it didnt fix
Well all mods are loaded. but no, thats not possible for a mod to do
you could try to watch the RPT while its loading
Weird cause without any mods the game loads up quite fast
and some mods, still quite fast
but with the full mod list it grinds to a halt
when loading into a mission? it's probably some script being loaded into the function library that's holding things up
No, when loading into anything it has long loading time
like the 3den editor
Try the usual process of loading half the mods and seeing if the problem happens, if not the other half, if it then happens halve again and repeat process
It may be that your ISP is dealing you an kind of connection where you can't port forward. But to rule out any mistakes on how you tried to port forward then you need to first give more details on exactly what you did for that.
Some reason arma just starts to run slow, I press go play and it waits a whike and says not responding. I’ve 700GBs space left so not a space issue
Don’t think it’s performance, I’m in menu now and normal FPS and everytbing nothing bad, will update this text whilst in a game
Game seems much laggy than normal
Well, I went to host a server and put a name, chose to host over internet, kept the port that it gave me, hit the UpNp button, and tried to host server. Then it would say port forwarding failed, and some message about the UpNp
Well, you need to port forward the entire range 2302-2306 for UDP.
Either you do UPnP or the manual port forward in your router. Not both.
If port forwarding failed through UPnP then the router does not support/accept that. Either it is disabled or it cannot do it anyway. Best is to login to your router and try manually.
Hey Yo
I uploaded a new server with a mission I created using the same mods on a previous working server I was using - I am able to troubleshoot most of the problem but now i'm stuck on a loop(That can be seen by the system logs) when trying to enter a slot in the server. help ?
Does anyone have the glitch when you leave your laptop with editor on for a few mins without touching and the mouse is unaligned
Say you want to spawn men, you’ve to go left more just to click on them
Can't recall ever having that bug
Does anyone know how I update a cDLC on a dedi server?
"my friend cant find my hosted server" yea i tried to connect through direct but it didnt work
and i cant find the server on the friends servers list
and joining through steam doesnt work either.
so could it maybe be internet or something?
my internet connection is good tho since we can talk through discord without any problems
Has anyone been able to connect? Sounds like port forwarding issues
anyone know why my laser looks like this?
The dedicated server needs to be on the creatorDLC branch. Did you set it up yourself, or is it a rented service?
What is wrong with it? Looks like a laser beam.
Really pixallted around the laser
The core looks normal. Maybe you have some post processing graphics effects applied?
comparison between hdr on and off but with hdr off it ruins my night sky
hdr on - top
hdr off - bottom
after trying to upload an addon with ARMA 3 tools i get The error "2" - "Generic Error"
^ image file
The tools say that nothing is wrong with filestructure or the files themselves
still dosent work after reopening tools
most likely answer is: mods
arma3 not loading my settings when starting the game, anything i can do?
this happened 3 weeks ago, then it loaded my settings, and after quiting it today the same problem occured again
wait, I just left UPnP off and it didnt give me an error message, does this mean my server works for multiplayer?
You don't get error messages. The server doesn't know if it's accessible or not.
yo
I finished setting up my server and mods and map and now when im trying to log in to the server i have infinite loop of the slots screen.
HELP PLZ 😢
check what the rpt log says

This is the first time in the run that I get this error -
23:17:13 Warning: looped for animation: a3\anims_f_exp\data\anim\sdr\cts\civ\injured\acts_civilian_injuredchest_1.rtm differs (looped now 0)! MoveName: kka3_injured_chest1
And this is the last time -
3:43:18 [CBA] (xeh) WARNING: One or more children of class CAManBase do not support Extended Event Handlers. Fall back to loop.
I can get into the server and download the mission, and i can try and take a slot out of my available slots - but after mission is done loading i just get back onto the main slot menu.
afaik those arent relevant, would be best to share the entire log
I understood sharing rpt log at its fullest is kind of a problem
https://sqfbin.com/
is unavailable - help ?
@sinful island ?
Your infrastructure has now been declared essential for the Arma community 😄
Haha. The host killed it during a migration, so I'm trying to get it back up with them. 7 days and counting 
Edit: Added a message to the site.
why do some of my addon options not show up in the game options - addons? Im using Dynamic Camo System but there are no options for this here.
If your friends can see your server in the serverbrowser. If not, then not. If you don't checkmark UPnP then it relies on having manually port forwarding in your router.
im getting this error when i deploy. idk what mod is missing
the other error says extra addon
nvm mind that
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1899768737 why cant i download this mod? its not popping up in my mod tab
found the fix
Because it is not a mod. It is a mission scenario.
alright so ive had this problem constantly, however the freezes have been bearable (1 to 2 seconds) however its becoming quite annoying now
i have maybe 19 mods loaded
and essentially
if i remote control a unit and then went to back out (OR if i die while remote controlling) it freezes me and any entities in game except for players for 5-10 seconds
personally i dont believe this is a mod causing this, as ive had these same mods on for ages before any of this happened
A Mod can be updated anytime anywhere, and it could break anything as well. You better to show your Mod list whatsoever
Also, always always and always try in vanilla to check if is a Mod or game issue
Hey ya'll I keep getting these messages when loading up Arma 3 prairie fire, even when no mods are loaded. Does anyone have a solution for this by any chance?
it wouldn't let me launch the game

i'm having a very peculiar issue, my arma 3 left hand search bar isn't working
it's just not indexing anything
for example if i have five ammo bearers placed down and i search up "ammo bearer", none of them come up
Left bar has an entity search? 
How did you know🤔
because generally i always wait a couple days to see if anyone reports game functions breaking
but this time i just didn't bother
You can go back one version with the legacybranch. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Steam_Branches
No need to, just Public
Oh, he's on dev branch. Yeah, then it doesn't apply.
I'm trying to make a custom Blastcore edit, but i'm getting this error when trying to make it a pbo again, what does it mean?
afaik UBC is more a warning than an error
but I recommend getting a P drive set up for packaging mods etc. @molten mason
i have a P:/ drive do i have to pack it in there?
yes
yush
P drive is the modding development environment
but also you got some serious issue if you can get addon builder to error
unfortunately its debug is very minimal so its not really possible to say what is wrong
yeah, i keep getting UPC warning and it doesn't build :(
updating base class just means it overwrites something from vanilla
its not re why it breaks
whatever the reason is its the build failed result code -bignumber that is the reason
likely you have some made some error in whatever you changed
F
Ive never used a p drive tbh
Heresy! Burn this man at the stake!
All of my modding resources are just scattered across my ssd and hdd 💀

Why do you run Zeus on dev branch? Do you play dev branch multiplayer?
I got my first Arma server
I set up slots they all playable and one player
Set up respawn points, respawn is enabled
and yet, I spawn in the water
why?
I am losing my mind I just want this shit to work
turn on a respawn delay for a few seconds
Zeus? He said Eden... 
I may be potentially mind impacted
I seem to get this error whenever I try launching a map.

Yeah, did that and it didn't work sadly. Just reinstalling it now.
Whenever I try to start Arma 3 with Battleye, it asks me if it has permission to make changes etc. I click accept, does nothing and Arma shuts down. Same with if I click No
When I try to launch this file, it also does the same
Run that as Administrator when the game is turned off.
Can potentially also need a reboot.
Can anyone guess as to why I can’t hear gunshots from friends? We have all the same mods
It’s on a dedicated server too
Weird. They can hear each other’s gun shots too.
Hey guys everytime i open my virtual arsenal this happend
you got lot of mods running, one or more is broken or dont work together
it was running fine idk this is the error
if not that error its some error
error means something is broken
looks like this is related to PÖP_advanced arsenal
so yes its proabably broken
or some other mod breaks it
a#
that keeps showing up for me
whenever i join a public server such as king of hill etc
i dont have any mods on or anything
i leave and close down the game
and re-open and the same problem pursists
Make sure you have Battleye enabled.
Yea, that's it
i fixed it thank you so much
how do I talk in game
With mic
Like there are different channels but I don't see where to select the mic in game
hey i have a question, when i create a load out how do i bring that to multiplayer
its really frustrating
There is no general case for "multiplayer". If a mission gives you access to BIS arsenal loadouts then you can load them, but most missions don't let you equip whatever you like.
yo bros where is the resolution and display mode settings saved in your profile?
i cant find it in the .arma3profile files
other things like gamma brightness post processing etc are there but not the display mode and res
@sage timber There's an Arma3.cfg in Documents/Arma 3. That one contains most of that stuff.
ohh youre right theyre all there
thanks brother
That's not normal Arma. It's the Bulldozer
I got an issue.
Trying to install a PBO, got my top folder and made an addons folder inside, then put the PBO inside of it. I went to the launcher and clicked local files, click on the top folder which is named Tawheed, and then it says it installs in my launcher.
I enter my game and it is no where to be found, I looked in the head category, face category, and every other category. I don't know what is up with it but if I keep trying I'm gonna go crazy because I hate manual modding.
The item is a headband named "Tawheed" and it has the Tawheed on it.
I have almost no more will to have to fix this so if the fix isn't easy I just won't do it lmao
well, check if it exists in config viewer at least.
?
what?
where is the config viewer
I'm pretty dense so I wouldn't know
editor -> tools -> config viewer
The editor within Arma that you get to with the big editor button.
how do I see it?
see what?
I mean, how do I check if it is in here
You're adding an item to CfgWeapons, right?
I'm not sure because I'm no tech savvy guy
I just know it is a headband with the Tawheed on it
It's not your mod then?
Maybe pay them commission to make it work then. I wasn't expecting to work from zero knowledge here.
it worked at one point so I thought it would work again
what I did last time is instead of selecting the thing through local files, I just dropped it into arma files and it downloaded
but the next day it didn't work
I could just comission someone to make it again, the item was pretty garbage
I asked for it to be super green and they made it light green (I literally sent them images), they made 3 versions and they were all not really good, and the Tawheed didn't even look like the Tawheed
I'm gonna go comission again, thanks
Oh my god I just realized the issue, I am so sorry for wasting time
anyone got a solution to a preset not being downloaded when hitting the download button?
like a HTML format
create a preset with 1-2 mods, export it to HTML, remove the entries and you have a blueprint
I mean like, I export from arma launcher to my downloads, then upload it to a channel, but as soon as the download button is clicked, it opens web as usual but nothing downloads
HTML is opened in a browser by default. You can try RMB-click and select "Save as...", or let it open in the browser and save from there
it opens in browser, but doesnt download, and when "save as" is hit and then put into the launcher, it doesnt work "Failed to Import Preset"
Okay so I make my own little scenarios to play every day on Irma and out of nowhere whenever I loaded to a scenario when I’m playing with mods it instantly ends I play Arma off-line because I don’t have Internet I know it’s a long story but it’s really weird because I was playing at one day and then the next day it just stopped working
Don't crosspost the same question in multiple channels. Pick one that best fits and wait for the answer.
I'm good now
Alright, just giving friendly advice.
The mod told me to take it here
not my fault there
issue was the dependent mod wasn't enabled but it wouldn't tell me because it is a PBO file
I thought the Tawheed question was answered in #general_chat_arma
it was given a suggestion but it didn't work
hi, how can i see what is currently updating? i have a arma game right now and steam started updating somethign that is 32gb. if it's not something i need now i want to remove it but i cant see what it is.
The answer given in there was correct. Must have something else in that Tawheed folder that causes the problem.
@wet walrus It's the SOG CDLC.
ah ok thanks
Because it's only touching stuff in the vn folder, you can actually pause the download, run the launcher manually and Arma works.
cool i'l ltry that
why is the campaign mission "Tipping Point" broken? I found out a way to get past the bug but its very difficult, in order to continue with the mission, you have to keep 1-1 alive, but its difficult because he keeps running into the open and gets himself killed, the bug is just the whole mission not working when you retreat, they just stay in a square
do you play with any mods? I went through campaign a dozen times and I don't think I ever had to repeat any part of Tipping Point for any reason other than my own death, I didn't even know SL is killable. If you have any issues during the 2nd part of the mission in which you flee the city north to the boats, just leave your squad and run to the next point as fast as possible, teammates don't have to get there with you, it's only about you.
I bought ArmA 3 yesterday, I do not have any mods, I have looked it up on youtube and its the same bug as i have
but ill try that
thank you
A3 campaign has its "arma moments" a lot especially in the first chapter "Survive" (and TP is the last mission of this chapter), if you tried restarting whole mission and/or my "way" and you are still unable to finish it, you can skip the scenario with one cheat, https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Cheats#ENDMISSION
Objectives
Primary
(1) Rendezvous with Bravo
(2) Capture the Military Range
(3) Clear Agia Marina
(4) Retreat
(5) Board the Speedboat
(6) Rendezvous with the Guerrillas
Optional
N/A
Mandatory
Kerry must survive
Follow your squad leader's orders
Avoid collateral damage/friendly fire
Remain within the combat area
at which point is the squad leadr or 1-1 died?
4th task where you have to run north to Miller, I remember people reporting it a lot when Survive was released that either SL is stuck in one place, or he runs without his squad, or your squad runs north outside the map
for me i just keep pushing north til i find miller and his boats
4th task, when your team gets to the place, they all just stop
just stand still
Evening everyone im hoping someone can please help me with an audio issue. I have had this since i updated to windows 11 a while back now. When im playing i cant hear things behind me, i have to always face the direction of a sound to hear it. I have never used any surround sound devices and have used the same 2.0 desktop speakers for years. I have loaded up the editor with no mods and the issue is still there. All windows audio options are set to realtek audio and stereo where available, also in game audio set to realtek. This also happened in world of warcraft when i played it. I captured this in game footage earlier to show you what i mean. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOsV6SBggao
Why does my scenario say mission ended when I’m loading into a fresh start. A lot of people say that it’s different objectives that you’ve put in but I start a fresh new map I drop in a single character and it ends once I start at
Hey need help, im trying to set unitpos mid , units from workshop their US marines but they never obey, they lay flat as soon as they get shot at HELP
setUnitPos takes "MIDDLE" not "MID". Also do you use any AI Mods?
Yes i use ai mods also mid or middle both work on ai that are not mods
if it works without the mods you probably need to unload the mods
when you use ai mods sometimes you're forfeiting that kind of control
It is possible that US Marines, whichever it is, have their own AI
i need some help with voice chat
like i press caps and it works
but no one can hear me
change the channel to Side channel by pressing , or . on your keyboad.
(you can also use direct voice this way)
ohh ok thx
Can you look into the old Arma 3 folder?
Hm, then there's nothing, it's rather Steam thing. Your Mods're gone I guess
It is pretty nice time to unsub that unused Mods. I've recently got a similar issue (intentionally tho) so unsubbed entirely
Workshop > Right side, Your Files > Subscribed items
You can unsub entirely from the page
Reinstall DirectX 11 I think
The Microsoft DirectX® End-User Runtime installs a number of runtime libraries from the legacy DirectX SDK for some games that use D3DX9, D3DX10, D3DX11, XAudio 2.7, XInput 1.3, XACT, and/or Managed DirectX 1.1. Note that this package does not modify the DirectX Runtime installed on your Windows OS in any way.
I already downloaded it but the problem is still there
Did you relaunched your computer?
Yes
Then reinstall Visual C++ 2013 maybe
Do I delete it?
Delete what?
Visual C++ 2013
I don't think you need to. You can just try to install over it

I did not know how to solve the problem. Can you control my device and solve the problem?
What?
@elder nymph It seems your computer does not have a capable graphics processor (GPU) Make sure it complies with the Arma 3 system requirements. There should be a render tab in there with details of your GPU chip.
If you can't make your computer to match the minimum system requirements then I suggest you ask Steam for a refund until you can get a better system.
i doubt even that could run original ofp
hey quick question, you said to just keep going north on tipping point when the bug happens?
im not sure if i encountered that bug, but i keeps going north and get into miller's boat, probably that triggers the trigger to finish the mission
so when your about to get onto the boat when you retreat, go north?
no, when pushing agia marina, then some CSAT helicopter arrives
That's how I do
Also you can skip the boring part, walk, by increasing the speed of time
boring part?
Isn't it?
what part is the boring part
I thought it is obvious: walk
If you don't think so, it isn't... but you can increase the speed whatsoever
Get in anyways if you can, it should complete the task
you can always check walkthroughs on youtube as there are numerous videos of Arma campaign, really helpful when you get stuck
oh yeah
ill try again before checking them out
omg
it worked, thank you
you have no idea how long ive been trying to do this mission
Good for you anyways
thank you
i just did the mission to be blown up on a boat?
Yes
Next up? Yes, the most difficult one
...Or not
as long as there aint no bugs i might be able to do it lol
If you find a clue, you'll get yourself there
Cl... what?
Because you have really nothing
Indeed... I hope so
should i stay away from that villege or town or whatever it is?
giving me bad vibes
oh god
Well, let's try for your first step anyways
The house ruins, you should be able to see them on the hill
ok ty
i died
is the hardest bit the start?
Signal lost?
i dont think it is
bruh i did the level 3rd try
refer to #singleplayer since the issue has been resolved
i just lost all my progress on Arma and when i check it says "Preprocessor failed with error - Invalid file name (empty filename)" what do I do?
how can i get all my progress back?
on campaign
hi so how do i get ai to get in the passenger seat of a helicopter, because they only seem to get in the gunner seat or the pilot seat.
You mean an AI that's in your squad?
nvm i figured it out
When you reload PDW2000 on empty, it will reload an empty magazine into the gun.
this if you reload on full magazine, the bullets still inside
i think its some sort of visual bug, that really bugs me.
Not sure this is the best place to ask, but I'm having a weird problem. My game has KP Ranks for some reason, but I haven't installed that mod. I don't have any KP Liberation map either. Do anyone know if another mod has KP Ranks included?
EDIT: nvm it was S&S
hello, i've recently deleted arma and installed it again 1 week later i launch it today and it comes up with a message "Error Compiling shader VSShader pool" i did used to run shader's before i deleted arma so idk if thats the problem or something else
and then after that little message goes away this comes up
what are your computer specs? CPU,GPU?
Are your drivers up to date?
https://feedback.bistudio.com/w/ft_a3_howto/gamecrash/ possibly create a crash report ticket
1660 GTX , 32GB, RYZEN 5 3600 OR 2600
yes
ill send u a screeenshot
later on
of what the little message looks like
those should be able to run the game
so it may be you have some issue with windows or driver install
Well you just need to write down the problem in detail and wait and see if someone has answers
Im hvaing toruble with mod not having keys. This si preventing anyone includeing me from getting onto my server
either remove mod from server and modpack or disable requiring keys
Why would all the mods work on my units server yet no work on my server?
or find keys for it?
sohow do i find the keys and use them?
you open windows system information and look it up
usually mods come with them
how do i use the key on my server
you would need to find it in the mod files and put in right folder.
what is the right folder? where do i find this folder?
that I dont know, You'll have to use google or wait for someone who knows to answer
pls dont ping me every time. Im not paid to be here
you need to find display menu and you should see what graphics card you have there
So i loaded into my server wihtou mods but it kicked me saying that teh cliant qurey timedout.
second time i loaded in the server claimed that the battle eye wasnt responding
third attempt and ive working fin only its stuck on th end game gamemode
https://feedback.bistudio.com/ if you report it here it might be fixed if reloads ever get tweaked
Hey Guys I am getting the Exit code 0xC0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
[11:40 PM]
I have updated my graphics driver, OS system, I have tried deleting the DLL files and validating through steam, PC restarts, etc. and nothing seems to work. Is anyone able to help me out and get my Arma back up and running without my game crashing every 5 seconds after I load in.
Are you loading arma with any mods enabled?
Yea, but it’s never did this until today and I’ve been playing with mods for a while now.
Have you got new USB connection headset?
Good Day. How do I open and read BIDMP and MDMP files?
Would you, please? It's driving us mad really
https://feedback.bistudio.com/T166592
uff you are running stable 
Arma won't launch without SOG: PF, even if I remove all DLC's and mods
Or even if I select "Play without mods and optional DLC"
Anyone else experiencing this?
Do you get an error, or?
No, it keeps launching with SOG: PF
Which removes the vanilla campaign
Same deal when I select "Play Contact"
have you set some manual launch parameters?
I haven't
Arma generates a .rpt log file each time it's run, which contains a lot of information like the loaded mods, or any errors that appear, this log file can be very useful for troubleshooting problems.
To get to your RPT files press Windows+R and enter %localappdata%/Arma 3
Additionally see the wiki page for more info: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Crash_Files
To share an rpt log here, please use a website like https://sqfbin.com/ to upload the full log, that way the people helping you can take a look at it and try to figure out the problem you're having together with you.
Note: RPT logs can hold personal information relevant to your system, the game or others.
you can use pastebin.com
then you had added manual launch parameters 😛
I never really messed with launch parameters, but thanks for pointing them out
well that is basically impossible
nothing sets up such parameters by default
it is completely user thing
I can’t launch arma for some reason. Gives me a “out of memory” error saying I only have like 4mb of space left. Both my hard drives have at least 80gb of free space. Any idea how to fix?
Screenshot the exact error message and upload your rpt to pastebin.com and link here
any idea why it keeps crashing?
well likely some mod is broken
there is crapton on missing config entries caused by some mod there
so pretty much it's a guessing game?
diasable some of the smaller mods and test if big ones work
then add smaller ones few at a time and test again
Update: I was having problems even opening discord to send the pic so I restarted my pc and now my game works
👍
I keep getting this and I’m not sure what it means
All my Cold War uniforms are glitchy and weird. Could this be related to that?
You need Global Mobilization
I have it tho
then perhaps a mod you have is broken
you have it loaded?
What do you mean by that?
it need to be checked there
It wasn’t checked
That might be it
could be yes
I found the info you requested
requested? what when where?
The comment you replied to was talking to a different person
All 3 freezes while trying to load data from disk 
(disk is probably dying, check Windows event viewer)
Hey, I downloaded a scenario .pbo, put it in my C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Missions folder, both mod dependencies are loaded and no others, and when I open the game it does not show up in the available scenarios (but other scenarios from workshop do). Am I obviously missing something?
probably validating mods aswell
It does that to me when it's updating mods. I can ususally launch the game at that point.
Above, my mission is a SP mission, so it should be in the correct folder, right?
whenever I try to start any scenario, join any server or go into settings my Arma crashes, error code 0xC000005 status access violation
does anyone else have this problem or know a solution

Can you show this?
i sometimes got that crash, sometimes cuz i alt-tab the game, ran out of ram, and Arma just froze.
I have found the file yes
Then show
I have it open in notepad ++ it's a longer file than I thought
Post it anyways
Hm, this itself doesn't include anything suspicious as far as I can tell
In the same folder as the .rpt should be one or more .mdmp with the same date and time. if you could zip those up and post them here or on FT we can look a bit deeper into the cause.
@narrow ploverare you using profiling branch?
well, i seem to have the same issue
and it was updated today.
as soon as any scenario loaded game just exits
the crashing started after the update
exactly
play without profiling

Maybe it is not a single player scenario but a multiplayer scenario. If the later, and it isn't a subscribed workshop mod that is automatically put in the correct place, then it needs to be put in the Arma 3\MPmissions folder and have the following name format: whatevermissionname.terrainname.pbo
It also helps to tell where you got the mission from. People might be able to try it for themselves to troubleshoot.

NOTE: As of 19 August 2019, I will no longer be updating this forum. This is due to the forum becoming locked every time I update it. It is just untenable. Feel free to continue posting in the comments. The excellent single player mission by Rydygier was originally set on Altis. Official ports we...
So profiling might be the thing that cause Status Access Violation ?
well yes looks like it was the problem..
Put the scenario PBO in the following path where Arma 3 is installed: Steamlibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Missions Then it should show up when you get to the list of single player missions.
However, there is something wrong with the required mods. I got error messages about missing content. To fix that you need an additional compatibility mod (apparently the Jbad mod has changed over the years since the mission was made) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2442475820
read above messages, is Profiling build broken atm?
what am i supposed to be looking for
The answer to your question can be found in the latest 10 messages in that channel.
this one? 998898861236043816
No, that is older than the 10 latest messages. This is what you are looking for: #perf_prof_branch message
so temporary issue, should switch over to x64 or regular to fix it?
For now run Stable to fix it
okay
My ARMA suddenly go crashes all the time and it shows 0xc0000005. Any help?
Never appeared before
No problem of rams
Play SP in editor = crash SP mission = crash Opening MP mission = crash
I am going crazy
yep, profiling was the issue, doesnt crash anymore
you might have the same issue i had, if youre running profiling
Yeah I am running profiling
turn it off
it is broken atm?
yes
Wow totally is the issue man
thx
how can there be no announcements for this huge news
Check #perf_prof_branch
The "steamlibrary" reference was the clue I needed. I had it in c:...Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Missions, but there's also a d:\Steamlibrary...\missions.
Thanks!
Hey guys, since this morning this error is accuring to my game. idk what to do i tried a couple fixes on forums for it but it still doesnt work. Error happens every time i get into a lobby, pick a slot and after the missions files load in the game crashes " arma 3 0xc00005 status_access_violation fix "
its #perf_prof_branch fix is on the way but probably an hour or two out
if you switch away from perf prof branch it will fix it.
it will definitely be fixed today
Well, I made up that name SteamLibrary. It is whatever steam library location where arma 3 is installed. Maybe you have an old left over place where Arma used to be installed.
That's funny. I was about to ask if you meant it as a specific reference, but decided to go see if it looked like you did and found exactly that folder name on the other drive.
I was gonna ask this! Thank you! Gonna switch it out to normal and back to profile later.
ETA on that fix?
So it’s fixed?
it is, just not uploaded yet
does anyone by chance know how to fix this
only the drivers hatch opens when i turn out
something something needs correct animationsource defined for the hatch animations
perhaps
Your mod?
no
then nothing you can do
its a game dlc
ok
thats me on my main
whenever i start my game now it says ace is 32 gb etc. anyone else getting this?
I have an Intel I7 12700k and a GForce RTX 3070ti. Most maps with many AI run terrible, less than 60fps, sometimes less than 30. Would hosting a local dedicated server in the same PC I use to play help with performance? (Maybe help Arma use more cores, since client and server are running in different instances?)
Yes.
I'd strongly recommend it even for much weaker CPUs. I'm only running a 4790 here and the DS was a huge improvement everywhere except Livonia.
Is there any tool you'd recommend to make a dedicated server?
Not really, no. I just use the client data and batch files.
Anyone using ACE3 and had problems with the PIP scopes? They were working at first, and now they're mysteriously not.
Actually, it seems they work in single player, but not multiplayer? 😕

maybe you uninstalled the DLCs?

corrupted files should be fixed by verifying the game
I'm making a local dedicated server with Serverify, but I'm having a problem. I have 2 headless clients running on the same machine, and the mission has 3 HC slots, but the HC don't seem to pick a slot. When I try to start the mission, it says not all players are ready (I'm the only player connected), and after starting, they show up with the hourglass icon. Is there something else I have to do for them to work?
The headless clients are greyed out, and I cannot assign them to any slot
nvm I had to set an unique variable name for each HC entity
anyone know how to fix the infinite loading screen when trying to load into a mission
Elaborate? Mods? Which branch? Which mission? SP/MP?
i am using mods and this is in mp
it is just a simple Zeus mission
are you connecting to a dedicated server?
Yesterday I was having infinite loading screen when connecting with many mods enabled, to a local dedicated server that had just a couple mods. After disabling all my mods to match the ones on the server, it worked.
yeah it’s a local dedicated server with a decent amount of mods
but this is one I make in the multiplayer editor
Then when I hit play it loads till the last little bit and all I hear are the ocean noises and see the frozen lid screen
loading *
"decent amount" never means issue free Mods
I keep getting these every time I open it in the Editor.
'armed_forces_ger' is not found in CfgUnitInsignia. Available classes: ["UNS_PATCH_BASE","UNS_PATCH_26MR","UNS_PATCH_1AVI_BDE"
and so on and so on.
Whatever it was, you missed a Mod that contains an insignia armed_forces_ger
I have lambs, logic fsm, drongs air/ artillery, rhs, ace, 3cb.
Make the mission and server setup with no mods first. Once it works. Start adding mods to it in small pieces. Go onto the next step when it is confirmed to work. Reconsider what changes when it stops working for you.
Ok
help me my game tells me that the ghillie suit i am using is from an unpurchased dlc while its clearly from apex dlc which i own
No, Full Ghillie is from Marksmen DLC
Arsenal icons are always lie to you
but why how am i supposed to know which dlc stuff i am using(i know you linked it)
I literally linked
I wouldn't know
Ace changes names of items, to make it even more confusing whats what.

Hey wierd question I am not getting the debug console to come up in a single player scenario that has it enabled is there something special I need to do that I am missing
I guess the question is how you enabled the debug console in that specific single player scenario. Apparently it is not working.
yes sir
Simple Singleplayer Cheat menu mod should help with that.
thank you sir
just wanted to change the time multiplier to be able to actually use nods
I don't see how time multiplier allows to use mods. But ok.
Nods Night Vision Goggles
You can use the same mod to enable Zeus and change the time I think. Never done that though.
Might break missionscripts though.
yeah I just used the set time multiplier to 40
Probably a steam issue but does anyone know why when trhing to download a mod on steam it sticks at 0B/S
Wifi is fine and works on everything else
if your disk is being used it's allocating space for it
so you should wait
Fun fact: do not check the box "choose respawn position" in multiplayer attributes without placing a respawn in the editor. it will crash your game 🙂
at least for me it does
So my Arma wont load up, I've tried countless times, checked the integrity, repaired it and nothing is working.

If that doesn't work then try hitting "show details" there and see if it tells you which DLL is missing.
It is probably missing Microsoft Visual C 2013 redistributable package. Should be installed automatically by Steam when installing Arma 3. But may get corrupted on occasion.
My Arma 3 will not start. I press play in the launcher, and the game launches for about 5 seconds, then closes by itself. I've tried reinstalling the game, reinstalling battleye, and validating game files and nothing has worked.
Any Mods? Any error messages?
No error messages, and have a modpack loaded. Just closes by itself, with no sound or message, just brings me back to the launcher.
Been having this error yesterday aswell, and I can't seem to find a solution.
IDK what Modpack you say but always try in vanilla first

Do you have any of this just in case?
Also, when it closes itself? Did it at least try to load addons?
On the small square in the middle of the screen when it launches Arma, it'll say loading Addons, Processing command line, ect.
Do you have any parameters to launch with? And/or, Did you installed a Mod by moving pbo A to B?
What do you mean? Sorry I'm not too good with files.
If you moved a pbo somewhere to any Arma 3 related folder, you shouldn't do it
Never moved a thing
What about parameters?
What do I do with those?
I'm asking which you use
Not sure? Just the default ones I guess.
Launcher, parameters. Do you use any?
I mean I changed my CPU count to 3.
Others?
None
Then at least you should try without cpuCount
Still nothing. I restored Parameters to defaults aswell.
Then rpt, do you have any latest ones?
Okay, what is rpt?
Read above
oh
let me check
the most recent is from 3 minutes ago, when I last launched the game.
Post it
Here
This channel
I can't post anything in this channel.
Then pastebin
How do I do that?
Click +paste
I copied the file and tried to paste and it won't work.
Won't work how?
Just won't paste into discord.
What, you're supposed to post the link
To where?
Here
Hmm this thing has no suspicious thing, except you load a lot of Mods anyways
A broken Mod does that
Do you have any idea what my fix could be?
Try in vanilla, no parameters and send the rpt
Hmm, I've no clue if it is
do you know if I can fix it?
I've no clue
