[pine kite]

@modern cloak Did you try the above?

[steady hawk]

He mentioned did so

[pine kite]

Sorry, missed that

Seems like the last RPT file got truncated, or ended prematurely. Are you sure you copied/uploaded the entire file?

Make sure Visual C redistributable 2013 is installed on your system and DirectX. Both are from Microsoft.

[rain pollen]

why my arma is not loading it just says initializing addons

[uncut trellis]

are you loading mods?

if yes, try without them first

[rain pollen]

no, i dont have mods, and it just loaded but for some reason its really laggy, it was not like this before

[uncut trellis]

what have you changed since last time?

paste your rpt log to pastebin.com and link here

!rpt

[rustic eagle]

Arma 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.

[rain pollen]

My PC just got blue screen

It crashed

[uncut trellis]

oof

got too hot?

💻

[umbral narwhal]

Maybe dying disk if it hung on loading for a while.

[rain pollen]

Idk it's gaming laptop I always plug in battery so that could be the reason

[rain pollen]

Like C?

Memory disk?

[umbral narwhal]

wherever you have Arma installed

Although if it's BSOD'd then it'd have to be the system drive anyway.

[rain pollen]

Oh, it has like 400 space left its not overloaded

It just restarted

[umbral narwhal]

It's not a capacity issue. More like not responding to read requests.

[rain pollen]

The last time this happened was like to weeks ago do I need to change the disk or maybe clean of the dust inside if there is any?

[umbral narwhal]

How old is this laptop?

[rain pollen]

like

3 years

[umbral narwhal]

There's always dust. Laptops generally force air through a tiny little heatsink with narrow fins that tends to get completely blocked within a couple of years.

[rain pollen]

it got cleaned once

and why did this appear now

[umbral narwhal]

That one is kinda standard :P

[rain pollen]

anyway to fix that

[burnt imp]

No. That's all BI's side. It comes in and out

[uncut trellis]

its not needed to play

[slim cape]

my server is saying a lot of errors with base arma files like 18:46:15 Warning Message: No entry '.passenger_mantisrear'.

sounds like corrupted game files

are you running local server or dedicated server elsewhere?

[slim cape]

dedicated server blend server

i can send you the full log if you want

[pine kite]

Give Bohemia Interactive money to buy a new server and software to host it.

[sharp wolf]

Is there any possible way I can get into a 1 on 1 chat with someone from bohemia? I have been trying to contact them through email but that only gets me so far. I have been having trouble with my arma and I need help here and now than getting help whenever I am not available.

[uncut trellis]

unlikely I dont think they offer that kind of support service. you can post your problem here and if someone has any tips they will answer (sometimes it is BI people who answer too though)

For whatever reason it worked today. I did nothing different haha

[pine kite]

I love it when problems solve themselves.

[ripe pelican]

I am having issues hosting my game. I have UPnP enabled on my router but my server does not pop up when I select it and I have also tried multiple ports ranging from 2302-2305. None of these ports work and have the same issue except 2303 which for some reason greys out the "join game" option in steam. I made sure to allow Arma 3 access through my firewall as well. Has this happened to anyone else?

[burnt imp]

Everybody has this problem...and it can be readily solved.
Watch this entire video to see the 3 different methods you can do and what steps to take to do them: https://youtu.be/rjX9hBrOaOM

[wheat warren]

Anyone else having issues with addon settings not being applied to the server?

We have server side setting set to override mission.
Those settings didn't apply.

So we changed it over to mission settings set to override client
Those didn't apply either.

It's like all of our settings are stuck on default

[ripe pelican]

Do I NEED a static IP or will my normal IP work as long as I check that it's correct when port forwarding? That is literally the only thing that I did differently. The people I play with refuse to use vlan

I ask b/c last time I tried setting up a static IP I messed up bad and don;t really want to risk it again

[burnt imp]

Correct, you do not NEED a static IP. You might just have to update your IP address next time you play.

[ripe pelican]

I guess I'm not able to host at all then. That's pretty disheartening, we never get to play b/c the person who usually hosts is always busy and I was trying to set up an alt Liberation game.

[burnt imp]

No VPN's on?

[ripe pelican]

I don't use VPN's

I don't even have one installed

I confirmed my IPv4 was correct, each port is forwarded individually and is set for "both" when selecting UDP and TCP

2302, 2303, 2304, and 2305 are all open

[uncut trellis]

did you open the steam gaming ports?

[pine kite]

2306 is for Battleye. Could be the one blocking your efforts so make sure it is open too. The entire inbound UDP range 2302-2306 is recommended.

[burnt imp]

Yes, you should include the entire range of 2302-2306

[pine kite]

@ripe pelican Both your public internet IP and your internal LAN IP address is likely dynamic. The public IP cannot easily be made static. But as long as your internet connection is stable, this usually hardly changes ever. Maybe your ISP may force a change because of maintenance on their network.

The internal LAN address of your computer is a dynamic assigned address given by the router. This can change more frequently depending on how many devices connect with your router (mobile phones, tablets, laptops, whatever wifi device) and turn on and off regularly. Another device might get the IP address once the lease for your computer expires. Many router have the ability to reserve the LAN address (DHCP address reservation) for specific devices. That would solve many moments of pulling hair if it worked yesterday, but not now. While you can set a static address in your computer in Windows, it would not be usefull if it is a laptop that has to connect to some other wifi later. The router DHCP reservation is the least troublesome. All you have to do is enter a so called MAC address once for each device you want to reserve.

[pine kite]

FYI, that would be 2303 and 2304, if he starts his server from 2302. He claims to have that.

[ripe pelican]

I did not try 2306. I will try that one as well.

[sand mesa]

What's good bois. My unit has been playing on our server with our mod list for years, and all of a sudden everyone in my crew has been unable to play due to the "STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION" error code, following an immediate crash. A couple of my members have the same issue even without mods loaded when playing base-game. This is entirely new, we have tried most everything on the internet with no success. Was there a recent patch, and is anyone else having this issue?

[ripe pelican]

These are the port settings I am going to try. First set is inbound, second is local. When in the game and starting the server should I leave the port at 2302 or should I set it to 2306?

I also swapped from "Both" to just UDP

[pine kite]

It is not "trying one of those ports, see which one works"". They all need to be open at the same time in the firewall, and forwarded to your computer by the router.

Leave it at the default 2302.

[ripe pelican]

Originally I was opening each port individually but I left them up, I just kept adding new ones

[pine kite]

That screenshot looks good. What you blocked out (IPv4 address) probably isn't sensitive. Just make sure the firewall is open for Arma 3 too on those ports.

[ripe pelican]

Ngl I am not sure what that means but I have gone into my firewall settings and allowed access to each instance of arma 3 I saw

[pine kite]

That is probably good.

What is your server called? And is it running now?

[ripe pelican]

Yes, it's just called Bobby

[pine kite]

It takes a while for 5000 server to be searched.

dm-ed

[gleaming wraith]

Having dedicated server troubles w/ mods. Continues to say "Files Not Signed by a Key Accepted by This Server". We have the bisigns, but we aren't able to move them into Key root folder. Serverblend has been giving some vague instructions. Is there anyone who could send a video that explains how to use the FTP and to move these files over?

[pine kite]

Server blend should explain how to make that work. You pay them for their services. Make them make it work.

FTP is as old as the internet (sort of) plenty of guides on the internet how to use an FTP client. Just need the details of serverblend.

Serverblend probably has a knowledgebase of it's own for that.

[gleaming wraith]

We'll try it out. It's been 3 days of constant debugging due to their vague answers and we're just about fed up (They never stated we needed an FTP in their modding tutorials, just that we needed them in the CommandLine. This caused a whole mess on it's own. I guess it's probably something to be expected looking back, but going in completely fresh it could've really helped to mention that.) Do you recommend any server hosting companies? If this one falters we may switch out for a new one.

[pine kite]

Pretty much all Arma 3 host provider have that as standard solution. You pretty much need it to get mods on the server and backups safe.

I don't rent one, never have so I can't suggest one. I have my own server at home and can port forward to it.

I have heard Armahosts is of good quality (from Antistasi Community team) but I have no idea if their prices are worth it.

[agile mantle]

does anyone know how to add multiple spawns to a map in the mpmissions file because my ext isnt working

[halcyon adder]

Still happening, I believe it's connected to a composition that I subscribed to in the first days of compositions working on workshop that I assume was later removed and now makes arma throw a fit. Any advice appreciated.

[lapis rose]

I have this lobby timer that won't let me join the mission and it moves me back to the lobby
and the timer is 90 seconds every time
how do I disable that?

[lapis rose]

talking about this thing

[lapis rose]

I can't find any solution about this anywhere

god

[pine kite]

What screen it that from? What sort of mission were you trying to get into? That might help other people figuring out what you are talking about.

[pine kite]

^^ Continued question in #server_admins with a bit more context: #server_admins message

[waxen moss]

Does anyone know why GGE Weapon Swap has my rifle disappear?

Sometimes when I switch from rifle to pistol, my primary just disappears into an empty rifle slot.

The mod works fine when I'm testing stuff out in Arsenal, but when on an op, I find myself just gripping thin air sometimes.

[burnt imp]

That's a known glitch with that mod. I switched to Tactical Weapon Swap to get the same benefit without that glitch

[waxen moss]

Huh, I'll give that mod a look, thanks.

[dusky summit]

My game shows this when I start a map from the editor with spawn point selection. Do anyone know what mod could be causing it?

[steady hawk]

Simple MapTools. Either restart your mission or unload work

[dusky summit]

Ah, yeah, it was that one. Thanks!

[unreal jacinth]

How do i fix this A3_Aegis_Characters_F_Aegis is missing

[steady hawk]

Install and load Arma 3 Aegis

[unreal jacinth]

i have it

installed and verified

[steady hawk]

And loaded?

[unreal jacinth]

and loaded

[steady hawk]

What exactly is the entire error message?

[steady hawk]

Do you know which is the removed class?

[unreal jacinth]

Pardon? I don't kow what you mean

[steady hawk]

And what are you trying to do?

[unreal jacinth]

trying to load a mission on my ded server

[steady hawk]

The mission should have a vehicle that hasn't loaded in your game

[unreal jacinth]

okay, will have a look

[jolly orchid]

hey team any idea how to fix this error

[mental river]

You probably haven't loaded it correctly

Check the server rpt to see if the mod is loaded

If it says NOT FOUND next to the mod then it's not loaded

[pine kite]

It is not a known common error code. Do as it says and upload the required files to the feedback tracker. Then developers might be able to figure out what caused it next working day (or later). Also make sure to provide a description of what happened before this occured. And try to replicate it if it happens again in similar circumstances.

try this, stack buffer overflow can be caused by corrupted data

still do report it though ^^^

[pine kite]

Yeah, a verify never hurts.

[umbral narwhal]

I'd say that if you haven't done a verify then there's no point reporting a crash.

[fringe salmon]

i launched steam as administreator and arma 3 loaded a new save file... how to fix

the old ones are present

when i start steam without admin progress is same

is it a steam thing?

[pine kite]

The windows user account you use to start the game is used for the primary profile. If you start it as administrator then it uses that account instead of your regular account.

Only start it as administrator to install battleye updates or whatever requires admin elevation. But do so temporarily. Don't use it to play the game. Shutdown and restart Steam/the game as your regular useraccount to play.

[weary sky]

And I suggest to not use the default profile created by Arma, but always create a new one (in-game). This solves a lot of issues.
In the Launcher you can select which profile to use (Parameters)

[umbral narwhal]

You can move your old profile data over by copying the files and renaming them to match the new profile name.

[fringe salmon]

thanks for replies everyone!

[fringe salmon]

also can you explain more how can i do that? thanks

[umbral narwhal]

There are two files, [profilename].arma3profile and [profilename].vars.arma3profile.

Copy those over from your old profile and rename them to match the new profile.

You have to do this when Arma isn't running.

[fringe salmon]

thanks!

[fringe salmon]

i forgor how do i heal in arma 3 what do i press?

[umbral narwhal]

Have first aid kit or medikit (if medic), mouse wheel.

[fringe salmon]

thanks

[uncut trellis]

Depends how it's broken. The latest version has worked just fine for long time now.
TFAR also has it's own discord if you want more direct line.

[fringe salmon]

does anyone know how to fix low fps?

i tried everything

my specs are capable of running the game on ultra with 50-60 fps

and i have 30 on high

i tried tbbmalloc

nothing

anyone know?

[umbral narwhal]

@fringe salmon what's your benchmark?

[opaque sand]

Can someone like VC and help me fix my arma 3 I keep getting this error code when I tried to launch the game and it doesn’t work I have legit tried everything

[steady hawk]

What is the error code?

[mental river]

In MP anything is possible

The only stable way to measure your FPS is single player

[opaque sand]

Gonna get it rn hold up

@steady hawk

[steady hawk]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_process_exit#0xC0000135_-_STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND

[opaque sand]

So how do I fix it ?

Cause tbh I don’t know a Jack lick of arma

Trouble shooting

[steady hawk]

Literally written in the link

[opaque sand]

This is the form my friends tried to use to help me

We where having a issue with the visual plus plus shit

[steady hawk]

What

[opaque sand]

So when I tried to follow the steps I am having a issue with the visual ++ part of if it

[steady hawk]

What issue then

[opaque sand]

So when I tried to follow the steps list on the forms you sent it doesn’t work so either it’s on my end or I am just not following the steps right

[steady hawk]

I don't know any unless you say what exactly you do/how exactly it doesn't work

[opaque sand]

Is there any way you can walk me thru the steps in like a VC ?

[steady hawk]

No

Unless you say what step you took

[opaque sand]

So when I try to install directX it does not work

Like I installed it still has not solved it and does the error code trouble shooter fix both of the error codes ?

[uncut trellis]

Did you try to verify your game files on steam?

[opaque sand]

Yes

[uncut trellis]

And did you install the visual c±+ redist packages?

[opaque sand]

Is that the x64 bit and x86 bit gonna double check if I have them

[plush violet]

So, it is stuck like this no matter what I do which prevents me from managing both my mods and DLCs. I’ve tried Uninstalling and reinstalling, opening and closing the game in a multitude of ways, verifying game files, nothing works. Support says they cant help me with mods.

[opaque sand]

I have both of them @uncut trellis

[uncut trellis]

Reinstall them

[opaque sand]

I have

[steady hawk]

Open Task Manager, and close every Arma 3 related exes

[opaque sand]

Let me try to load arma real quick

Still comes up with the same code

[uncut trellis]

Habe you restarted your machine too?

[opaque sand]

Wdym restart

[uncut trellis]

Turn off power

Turn on power

[opaque sand]

When I installed the x86 bit it restarted my Computer

[plush violet]

I have, only the launcher is open, the problem still persists

[steady hawk]

Even in Details tab?

[plush violet]

Nope, I have an arma3_64x.exe.

Tried to close it, but it says it couldn't be completed

Says "Access is denied"

[steady hawk]

Well, relaunch your computer then?

[plush violet]

Ill try

Oh damn, yeah, a restart fixed it

Thanks man

[opaque sand]

what happens if i have windows 11 can that interfere with it

[steady hawk]

With what

[opaque sand]

With the issue I am having

[steady hawk]

Never heard of Win11 does something bad with Arma 3

[opaque sand]

For SFC do I run it as as administrator

[steady hawk]

SFC?

[opaque sand]

System file checker

[steady hawk]

Right Click on SFC and run as administrator

[opaque sand]

Okay

[opaque sand]

When I tried to open SFC it doesn’t open idk why

[uncut trellis]

Perhaps some issue in your windows install then.

[unreal jacinth]

What am i missing from this startup for mods, i am trying to launch my nodecraft server with this in the startup command. So it loads the mods, but it's not launching so I am wondering what I am missing from the command

[steady hawk]

You should to explain the context... This is the context

[unreal jacinth]

I added some context

[silk wave]

Looks like missing a " at the end of CBA. Or try removing the first @

[steady hawk]

-mod=@ <- why there's this @ right after the =?

[quaint jewel]

The quotes are also wrong

you don't quote each mod individually, you quote the whole line

[steady hawk]

True, so -mod="@ModA;@ModB;@ModC"

[fringe salmon]

i used to get like 60-70 fps now 30-50

[fringe salmon]

yes im talking about singleplayer

my specs are gtx980m with 8gb vram...... ddr4 16gb ram....... core i76600k 2.6ghz base speed

also im with a gaming laptop

[mental river]

maybe you're running the game on your integrated GPU then

[fringe salmon]

i dont have one

intergrade

[burnt imp]

Mods play a factor in FPS. Go to NVIDIA panel and force Arma 3 to use your GeForce GPU. Lower your view distance.

Watch this video:
https://youtu.be/GktBSZcglFk

[fringe salmon]

how do i make it use my gpu?

[burnt imp]

Use NVIDIA Control Panel.

[mental river]

all laptop CPUs have one

[fringe salmon]

i have it on hdd

will it change if i put the game in my ssd?

it is an nvme ssd

will there be any diffrence

answer me quickly

when it was on my ssd i got 70fps

so

i guess it willl be better

SSD or NVME won't do much for FPS. Except maybe less/no stuttering when loading stuff when compared to HDD (magnetic spinning disks)

[topaz field]

this happening for the last 5 days i made over 12 missions on different maps and this still happend pls if someone know why tell me i deleted some mods i dont use i verify my game files i did everything and this thing is happening and cause from 53 to 3 fps and terrains disappeared and back again and disappeared again

Im about to have cancer of this

[umbral narwhal]

Are you talking about the supersaturation, the extra zoomout, the torso on the ground or the missing ACE compats?

[topaz field]

no like everytime i load to a map or a mission the game lag that gose from 60 to 3 fps and my team and the enemy team start looking like and than back to normal and than happend again same with the terrains in the map and this happend as a loop i cant stop it i only need to 1 Alt F4 from the game or trying to go back to the editor with the 3 fps or close the game from the launcher

[pine kite]

What mods did you leave active in that game?

[topaz field]

235 mods are running

it was working fine idk what hell happend

[pine kite]

Lol, and you wonder why lag.

[topaz field]

i got a high end pc idc about the mods amount

[pine kite]

Well, one of them may have updated, with worse effects.

[topaz field]

maybe let me chack real quick

the only mod the got update is usp uniforms i swear if this mods was the problem

[pine kite]

Well, that is the drawback of so many mods, it can be any of them. And you will have to isolate the one it is and maybe get rid of it, or hope there is a workaround for it. With small number of mods this goes much quicker.

Im not sure whay you expect to see 🤔

[ivory steeple]

yeah but I've seen people play on modded maps and there game doesnt look like this at all

ive seen better grass and trees lol

[uncut trellis]

modded maps are different from one another

you would probably need the same map

[ivory steeple]

even non modded ones look like crap

[steady hawk]

Well please let us see what do you mean by grasses and trees like crap

what does vanilla unmodded look like

thats a starting point that can be worked with

If i am loading a mod that requires arma 3 aegis and it's dependents are apex and western sahara. Do i need to load these mods in the startup params as well as aegis. If so how would I do that. This is also for a dedicated server

[steady hawk]

Yes and no, Apex is always loaded. WS on the other hand is not so you need to load CDLC branch and load ws

[unreal jacinth]

Okay, thank you for that

[unreal jacinth]

So I have apex and ws loaded in the startup here is my startup line -config=server.cfg -mod="@arma_3_aegis;@cba_a3;@CUP Terrains - Core;@CUP Terrains - Maps;@CUP Terrains - Maps 2.0" -mod=ws; Does anything look wrong. Cause I am still getting this error. (Error is first image). I have these mods loaded does anything here look like it could affect it. The server is dedicated and linux based

[steady hawk]

No -mod twice

[unreal jacinth]

okay, can that break it?

[steady hawk]

It would

[unreal jacinth]

thank you, will fix that now

is this better?

I'm fairly new to arma mission creation and I just want to get a jet to go and destroy a ground convoy consisting of a few logistics trucks. I have set the a10 to seek and destroy and although the a10 does fly over to the area, afterwards it just does a low pass of the trucks without actually shooting anything. I have also set the pilot skill to 100%. Occasionally it will go shoot at a different truck driving off but other than that it just refuses to shoot. Anyone know what im doing wrong?

[toxic agate]

I did that

Nothing happened

[quartz warren]

Does anyone know how to make a jet attack a large group of soldiers. Currently seek and destroy just does not work

so does anyone know to get rid of the 0xC0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION cuz i did everything possible, i uninstalled the game twice and i never had any mods so idk at this point

this bit

[lost nova]

oh

[ocean cosmos]

what about your gpu

go into task manager then performance

should see something like this

[steady hawk]

I've removed your post since it contains some critical info about your computer than a spec

[lost nova]

ok

[lost nova]

how do i find task manager

[ocean cosmos]

ctrl+shift+esc

[lost nova]

ok

i see no gpu

[ocean cosmos]

erm

what

click the performance tab

[lost nova]

oh

didnt see perfromace

[ocean cosmos]

How about this?

[ocean cosmos]

He's on Intel UHD graphics with 4gb RAM

and an i3

[lost nova]

well it worked twice one time

and now this happened outta nowhere

[ocean cosmos]

twice out of how many times

[lost nova]

what the game working?

[ocean cosmos]

of trying to launch the game

[lost nova]

oh after 2 days of the game working then i tried it like a week before today, i got the error

[ocean cosmos]

oh did you buy arma in the sale then

[lost nova]

you lost me on that part but i bought it like the first day i played it

[ocean cosmos]

how much did you pay for it

[uncut trellis]

You got USB headset?

[lost nova]

32 something

[lost nova]

i have a controller and i just plug it in there so no

[ocean cosmos]

have you tried launching without the controller plugged in

[ocean cosmos]

32 what

[lost nova]

i dont remeber the exact price so i guess 30-32.50 i dont know...

but it was in the 30's

[ocean cosmos]

what currency

[lost nova]

usd

[steady hawk]

Why you need to know the currency and the price in order to solve a crash issue? 🤔

[lost nova]

beats me

🤷🏾‍♂️

[ocean cosmos]

checking hes not pirated it lol

[lost nova]

and i just tried that and it didnt work, same issue

[ocean cosmos]

why did you pay 30-32 usd for it a week and two days ago when it was on sale

[lost nova]

like i said i do not remeber the price or the exact day i got it

all i can tell you is what i know so far

[ocean cosmos]

it was on sale until a week ago and you said youve had the issue for a week and bought and played it a few days before

the sale was a week long so unless youre a week out or about 20 dollars out on the price you paid for it

[lost nova]

🤷🏾‍♂️

[steady hawk]

Do you have an rpt?

!rpt

[rustic eagle]

Arma 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.

[lost nova]

no i have no mods or anything,

if thats what u mean

[ocean cosmos]

read the bots message

[lost nova]

i have a few files ending in rpt

[steady hawk]

Get the latest one

[ocean cosmos]

send the most recent one

again read the bots message

use sqfbin to upload it

[steady hawk]

Well, this is enough

[lost nova]

i clicked on the link in the bot message it said something about the server host migrated it

[steady hawk]

SQFbin is downed temporary

[lost nova]

welp.

[steady hawk]

Well, looks like the game fails to create a graphics

[lost nova]

so is that the problem then?

[bronze river]

the issue is in graphic card

it's not powerful enough

[steady hawk]

I never said I'm certain of it

[ocean cosmos]

seeing as he's using intel UHD i'd imagine thats why lol

[steady hawk]

What he said tho

[lost nova]

problem solved i guess...

[bronze river]

tried arma 3 beta back then with my UHD laptop, hot as hec after 20 min of play

[ocean cosmos]

i remember playing battlefront 2015 on my notebook with intel iris graphics

couldve probably made toast on it

[pale sentinel]

I want to capture enemy vehicles in my Liberation games, but Zeus won't let me do it. I watched my old unit commander do it, but he didn't tell me how he did it (Idn't ask at the time). How can I do this? Starting a liberation campaign with no resources and no vehicles is a challenge.

[pine kite]

6 crates, 2 of each 3 types should drop around the FOB as you make it. Build the resource collection area and you get a bit more in other objective markers. I am unaware of how to do it with Zeus. I think you can use them when empty. But they deliberately won't save to your FOB vehicle resources.

[umbral narwhal]

IIRC Liberation doesn't prevent AIs dismounting immobile vehicles, so you can just break the engine and they'll bail out.

early game you've just got to go in there with your rifle and clear places though.

[toxic agate]

So I was trying to play with rhsusaf but this is appears, I know this is a file missing message, but don’t know how to fix it, I already try reinstalling it, and repairing it. But not his has change

[supple badger]

hello I have a very big problem without any reason my game crashes since a few hours with this message I tried everything even to uninstall it but nothing changes can you help me please the message is: 0xC0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION

I played all afternoon without any problem and now I crash

[uncut trellis]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_process_exit#0xC0000005_-_ACCESS_VIOLATION you can try if anything here helps

its not a problem with just 1 cause and 1 fix. it can be many things

and even something not listed here

[supple badger]

@uncut trellis I have the error log ...

I've been playing all day with no problems, why does it only crash in the evening when before I didn't crash?

[uncut trellis]

I dont know

[spring monolith]

hey my game keeps telling me my cloud isnt responding or working when i try to play can i get some help

[ocean cosmos]

restart steam

[spring monolith]

[ocean cosmos]

have you tried a different profile on your pc

[spring monolith]

no cause i have evrything on this profile and dont wnan lose everything

[ocean cosmos]

have you tried this

!steamverify

[rustic eagle]

Steam file verification process:
Right Click on game -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity of game files
Arma 3
Steam Workshop Mod repair process:
Open Launcher -> Right Click on mod -> Repair
The first process will automatically verify Steam Workshop items as well.

[ocean cosmos]

and/or reinstalling

[spring monolith]

ill do the verify thing

[spring monolith]

did not work

[ocean cosmos]

did you reinstall completely

[spring monolith]

i am now

[spring monolith]

its asys i havent downloaded the chances of steam cloud

to my device

[ocean cosmos]

then download them if it gives you the option

[spring monolith]

no its doesnt it onyl give me the option to retry or cancel

[ocean cosmos]

then retry

[spring monolith]

nothing happenes

[ocean cosmos]

Then I've no clue beyond suggesting you try a different profile as that what seems to have fixed it for people on steam forums

[spring monolith]

it worked nvm

[shell tide]

Need some help, was downloading the SOG dlc and when it finished the launcher said it wasn't installed, I clicked on install and steam started installing it again, couldn't stop it so I tried restarting steam and now it was trying to download it again which was gonna make me run out of space
so I restarted again and cleared cache and it's not working now
messed up alright

I'm gonna try disable the dlc on the steam dlc tab

yeah doesnt do anything

[somber zodiac]

Whenver I click the play button it says DLL not found

ive tried verifying the game files, using the checker file tool, and messing the directX thing but nothing worked

[uncut trellis]

managed to get steam downloading it again

I'm gonna wait and see if it works

[uncut trellis]

🤞

[somber zodiac]

alright so i dragged the file into that paste bin thing and now what?

this is what it says btw when i press play

just to be more clear

[spring monolith]

i still dont have a cloud file?

[uncut trellis]

clear is good. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_process_exit#0xC0000135_-_STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND try these

[uncut trellis]

you can disble steam cloud for Arma

[uncut trellis]

if those dont help youll have to wait for morning for more knowledgeable people to wake up

[somber zodiac]

alr

Thanks

[quaint jewel]

Type it into google

Or use discord search, it's a common error, and the solution is type it into google and follow what it gives you to solve it

[pine kite]

Stop Arma 3 and Steam. Delete the vn folder in Arma 3 install folder. That is where the SOG stuff hides to my knowledge.

[shell tide]

Yeah managed to fix it

[fringe salmon]

also how do i fix this?

[umbral narwhal]

You don't. The Arma 3 units server has the lowest uptime known to the modern internet.

[spring monolith]

i did it

i got it to work

[toxic cargo]

I've got a huge issue on my dedicated server with any gunner view in airborne vehicles and could need your help:

Whenever I sit in any airborne vehicle in the gunner seat, or any of the other players do the same, the gunner view will "jump"/lag around like crazy, but only when the vehicle is moving.
This is especially the case when the pilot of a helicopter is moving sideways and the gunner tries to track an enemy - the view will just "float" in the flight direction, completely off target, and then snap back to the target, only to repeat itself (every ~1 second).
That makes it completely impossible to track any enemies while the gunners vehicle is moving laterally to the target.
Flying towards a vehicle in a straight line will work, but the more the gunner camera has to track a target, the more pronounced the issue becomes.
The same happens when I get into the gunner view of any drone that is moving or when a tracked enemy is moving fast.

The pilot will not experience any lag at all, but will see the gunners crosshair (or camera when PIP is in use) jumping around as well.

Gunner in ground vehicles is absolutely fine, otherwise no issues on the server.
Client has >80fps, server has >90fps.
Mods used are ACE, CBA, RHS

DS net settings are

class sockets
{
    maxPacketSize = 1300;
};
MinBandwidth=1250000;
MaxBandwidth=7500000;
MaxMsgSend=512;
MaxSizeGuaranteed=512;
MaxSizeNonguaranteed=128;
MinErrorToSend=0.001;
MinErrorToSendNear=0.01;

Any idea what this could be?

[hidden bridge]

Did you enable advanced flight model? I had kinda same issues but with passengers.

[toxic cargo]

Nope, advanced flight model is disabled

[sweet mauve]

hey can i have help when ever i make my own mission it gives me this error code when i go in to the map and i can not go into my ace settings

...maxcolour . _colouralpha
};
file /z/ace/addons/map/functions/fnc/_simulatewapl ight. sqf..., line 52 Error type any, expected array

can someone help

that is the error

[random kayak]

okay so i was going to buy arma apex, but it says i already have it... but i dont? i can only buy the bundle as a gift, but it acts like i dont have it. i might have bought it sometime, but i cant use it and idk what to do it just tells me to purchase it. can someone help?

[steady hawk]

You mean you still get ads?

[random kayak]

on some servers that need arma apex for stuff i cant use, but it says i already have them

even on just normal games i need the arma dlcs to enter a aircraft, but then it says i have it

[steady hawk]

Stuff like what, can you tell which specifically?

[random kayak]

in a koth game, i spawned an aircraft, but when i tried to enter it, i needed one of the dlcs and it stopped me from entering it and it told me to buy them

and when i was playing grandtheftarmA i couldnt buy a specific bigger backpack because i needed apex, so i checked on steam and then it said i already had it in my library, but it stopped me from buying it

[steady hawk]

Sounds like the server/mission is broken

[random kayak]

i think it might be my end tbh

my friend has apex and everything works fine for him

hes able to do the stuff, and i am pretty sure i bought the bundle last year on summer sale, so i should have everything, but it acts like i dont

yeah see i can only purchase it as a gift

and i remember buying this edition specifically because he told me too and it was super cheap on summer sale

but the mods arent working on my end i suppose

[sweet mauve]

can someone help with this error

[steady hawk]

As I said it might be a mission issue, can you try in Editor and make sure you can use Apex assets?

[random kayak]

let me launch arma rq

yeah literally even in the launcher it says i do

[random kayak]

yeah im able to load up the 2 maps

in editor

and grand theft arma is pretty big so i wouldnt think its their fault

[steady hawk]

2 maps what do you mean? Apex has only a map

[random kayak]

i can load up tanoa

in editor

i was looking at a different map aswell mb

[steady hawk]

IIRC you can load anytime, play is restricted if you don't own

[ocean cosmos]

this is true just checked

[random kayak]

let me go back on GrandTheftArmA and try it again maybe?

i know i own these mods but everywhere it says i dont

[steady hawk]

Let me rephrase: use assets, not just load so you know it is their fault or games

[sweet mauve]

can someone help me with this error

[ocean cosmos]

repair your ACE mod

[random kayak]

i think i figured it out

[pine kite]

Unsubscribe from ACE and make sure you subscribe to a recently updated version of ACE from the ACEmod team. Don't know if it is corrupt or outdate, but might be. Best to report this error message and the steps that lead to it in the editor, to the ACE team developing it.

[random kayak]

i do have all the dlcs mentioned, i couldnt get in the jet because i dont have the arma jet dlc, and the backpack on gtarma needed apex, AND a membership, which i dont have, but i was able to buy the other apex items

steam was really weird with it though

[steady hawk]

Sounds like a illegal monetization eh?

Can you tell which server it is?

[random kayak]

its grand theft arma uk/eu, im from the usa but im playing with my friend who lives in the uk, so we just play on his server

they want you to pay 10 pounds (or around $12) to get a membership just for their servers

[steady hawk]

What'd ya think @signal gate ? ^

[pine kite]

Repeated requests for the same error within a halve hour is a bit too much. Wait for someone with the answer to have chance of looking at it.

[random kayak]

to be able to get certain items / and other things

this is what youu get for around 12 dollars a month

[steady hawk]

If the membership unlocks a valuable item/makes you stronger, it is illegal monetization

...and it seems so

[random kayak]

im able to buy only 1 version of each item, but the different colors make you need a membership

and i need the dlc on base game to be able to get those items with more space, then if i want a different color i need to spend more money on a membership

[pine kite]

Only the airdrop seems to hint at that. No sign of a weapon with special superior features.

[random kayak]

idk, i dont mind but i dont have all the dlcs on base game so i cant get some items

i dont really think its a advantage, its just if you want different items you are gonna either need a base game dlc, the membership, and sometimes both

[ocean cosmos]

Even the airdrop doesn't IMO

Based on it's just spawning somewhere random on the map

[pine kite]

Ok, had something else in mind, like a HALO jump for the player or something.

[ocean cosmos]

I was just thinking an airdrop on the player's location with stuff for them

[random kayak]

i dont think its PTW, just annoying you cant really get all the options for clothing/backpacks because of another paywall

[sweet mauve]

@pine kite how would I subscribe to a newer version of ace?

[ocean cosmos]

by subscribing to the one ace put on their workshop

[pine kite]

The official ACE is normally updated automatically by Steam when it releases. Might be that some files are getting stuck, or you have a very old version locally stored. Unsubscribe should delete the workshop version entirely, and subscribing should redownload the latest version. Removing the contents of the ACE workshop folder in your Steam library folder might also work (if the game and Steam are shutdown) to clean it.

[steady hawk]

If you need Apex and the membership to get a Bergen Backpack (not just its retex) it is gameplay advantage which Arma forbids to paywall

[random kayak]

if i have apex i can only buy 1 color, and i need the membership to get the retex

there are a few backpacks that are all behind the membership but they arent better

[steady hawk]

Weeelll... I thought you've said you need membership to get Bergen

[ocean cosmos]

can you get the bergen without a membership

[random kayak]

only 1 but you need arma apex

and you can only get certain vehicles with the membership, and one of the vehicles with the membership holds more than all the other

[steady hawk]

Airdrop sounds the case tho

[ocean cosmos]

airdrop doesnt spawn it on the player

randomly on the map so all players have an equal chance

[steady hawk]

Hmm

[random kayak]

theres like 2 vehicles with the membership that have 1000 space, and the max without a membership is 800 space vehicle

here let me show

the 1st image is membership only, and as you can see on the right it has 1000 space

its the biggest truck available to purchase

and the 2nd image is one without the membership, and it holds the maximum amount of space in a truck without buying the membership

so for like 12 dollars a month you can buy a little more expensive truck that holds like 200 more

[ocean cosmos]

Both hold the same weight of items I believe, virtual items is just so you can't put millions of weightless things in there iirc

[steady hawk]

I'd say it is an advantage. But Bohemians will decide, not me

[random kayak]

no virtual item capacity is different than like weight im pretty sure

when i was farming sugar in my starter truck i have 140 virtal item space but i could only hold around 36 sugar cane in the truck

[ocean cosmos]

yeah and what was the item capacity weight of your truck lol

[random kayak]

its 136 too

weird nevermind then

i guess it provides an advantage but its super slight

[ocean cosmos]

vehicle inventory "space" is calculated with the weight of items not the number of them

or else i could store the same amount of NLAWs as I could grenades

unless it's different on the server 🤷

[random kayak]

it might be

im gonna buy a truck that has like 200 virtual item capacity and see if it holds more

[ocean cosmos]

needs to have the same item capacity in kg

[random kayak]

every truck does

but then what would be the point of buying a bigger truck if they all hold the same

[sweet mauve]

@pine kite unfortunately it did not work 😦

[random kayak]

no yeah this new truck holds more

it has 200 instead of 140 and im pretty sure im able to put more in

[ocean cosmos]

Bruh moment

Haven't the foggiest what the difference between the two is unless it's just missing kg on the virtual one

[random kayak]

maybe the kg is just visual

could be wrong

im heading over to the sugar collection if i can hold more than like 36 its 100% bigger

everyone in chat is saying if it has more v item space then it holds more, and im definitley holding a lot more

[ocean cosmos]

If its missing kg then yeah I get that

[random kayak]

i do think it provides an advantage imo, if it has 1k space it should carry like 200 more weight of items

[random kayak]

they both have the same kg hold

[ocean cosmos]

Just intuitively if its missing a unit I'd have thought it's just the number of items rather than their combined weight

But if it can carry more then yeah I suppose it'd be considered a gameplay advantage

[random kayak]

each sugar cane is 4 weight, and my first hobo truck could carry 140 v item space, so each cane would decrease the amount of space by 4 each time, which leaves me to carry only around 35 cane in my truck

with the truck thats a little better that can carry 200 space instead of 140, i can carry 50 instead of 35

so if i had the biggest truck without membership, i could carry 200 sugar cane, and with the truck with the membership, i can carry 250 sugar cane

seems like a gameplay advantage tbh

[random kayak]

and another thing, each sugar sells for 2,378, so with the membership you can make an extra 118,900 cash with the vehicle thats membership locked. and im only using sugar, there are other things really similar that could make a LOT more money than that with the 200 extra space

[umbral narwhal]

Did you install Steam and Arma from scratch?

And you've reinstalled the x86 and x64 vc2013 runtimes?

[bold knot]

Also, did you make sure to launch CMD as admin and run "sfc /scannow" command on the new instal?

And you're positive you elevated the CMD window to administrator privileges?

Whelp, guess you're smarter than me because I forgot to do that a few times LOL

Try the runtimes John mentioned, you can also try running "wuauclt.exe /detectnow" that supposedly forces windows update to fetch all available updates for your system?

[spiral nova]

Hi,
i have in my logs for all clients (my log, 3-4 other logs from my community and the HC log) how play my mission this information:

19:17:41 Tried to AccessTargetList for non-local AI group while non-local targeting was disabled! Engine will now enable non-local targeting which will hurt clientside performance.

Can someone tell my if it is normal or how can i fix it?
For me the last part of the message is not really good i think. (Engine will now enable non-local targeting which will hurt clientside performance).

It happend after the post Init.

[pine kite]

I didn't claim it would. But to do it just to be sure. Make sure you can repeat this problem, and describe the steps to the developers of ACEmod. They should have a way for you to report this via their site.

[umbral narwhal]

@spiral nova Normal for profiling branch.

Ideally you'd rework the mission to remove non-local targeting but apparently there's something else that breaks it, so it's not worth trying.

[upbeat shore]

I'm unable to save/access my custom compositions in zeus. Eden works fine, but whenever I try to make custom compositions in zeus I get "name cannot be empty" despite having both fields occupied. I'm also unable to access my previously saved compositions. This used to work no issue for me until it randomly stopped working so I'm not sure what I've done.

It no longer even shows as a drop down and it doesn't respond to being clicked on

[sinful island]

The site is back!

[pseudo tulip]

Setting a custom objective in zeus to not display on module position appears to create a huge lag spike for the zeus interface and sometimes the server, crashing the zeus and possibly the server

I think it only happens when the servers been up for a while or the load on the server is greater

here's something on the feedback tracker that was posted last year, exact same issue i'm having

https://feedback.bistudio.com/T156660

[tawdry ore]

Anyone know how to make Arma 3 run better?

I have quite a lot of mods

I'm using a shitty laptop

It's the Acer something 7

[pine kite]

Start with that one. That is the one you can actually do something about it. Bad scripted mods can cause lag. But you can't change that, other than not using it. High res textures increase loading time. Might look good, but only up close and personal. Do you want your enemy that close?

As for performance with your laptop, consider posting further details about it (actual model number) in #hardware_vs_arma

[tawdry ore]

Ok

nah, you'll still find the server even if the mission cycle is garbage.

but I would recommend removing the mission cycle until you have it working without it.

No mission cycle => mission selection screen on login.

You shouldn't have difficulty="recruit" under the params. That's the only obvious mistake there.

[potent chasm]

Hi, sorry if this should be put somewhere else, not seeing any channels for help with server setup and I know this may be a bit of a rabbit hole.
I've set up a dedicated server about a year ago and have been tweaking and changing little things here and there ever since, trying to turn it (and the Arma experience it provides) and recently I've decided to open our little group to the public and in doing so I tried to enable VerifySignatures. This is where the trouble begins.
The server will not accept any signatures from any of the 65 mods that have been installed on the server and our clients. With the clients, we've tried repairing, un/reinstalling, and even rebuilding the mods we made in-house to see if that would change anything. With the server I've tried forcing updates, un/reinstalling the entire modlist, checking through the command line and configs to see if anything is missing, no luck. I can't seem to find any answers through Google, forums or anywhere else.
Has anybody had this kind of issue? if so, what did you do to fix this? The server starts and runs fine, we just can't connect since it refuses to see the mods' keys.

[umbral narwhal]

Did you copy the keys into the server's key folder?

[potent chasm]

I had no idea there was one. Lemme check that out real quick XD

[eager kiln]

@clear elk me and my friend for some what reason can't join each other, but can join others, we need some help

[clear elk]

Yeah we cannot join eachoher no matter what.

[bronze river]

can't join what?

[pine kite]

There is #server_admins and #server_linux or #server_windows for whichever OS applies in your case.

[pine kite]

Did you do anything to your router to enable port forwarding or UPnP functionality?

!localhost

[rustic eagle]

Arma 3
To host a server or a game session locally, you need to make sure first that your WAN address / external IP uses the IPv4 protocol!
Check your router’s status page in the settings to confirm. (If in doubt, ask your ISP, Websites like “whatismyip.com” give you a false positive!)
Local servers and games can not be hosted on an IPv6 network, or IPv4 via DSlite tunnel!
https://www.avg.com/en/signal/ipv4-vs-ipv6
Once you have confirmed that your connection uses the IPv4 protocol, you need to manually open / forward the ports 2302-2306 UDP (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Dedicated_Server#Port_Forwarding)
See your router’s manual on how to do that, or ask google: “<your router model> + port forwarding”

[surreal sphinx]

I'm having trouble with the Arma launcher. When I start the game it gives me and error message that says Addon 'A3_Data_F_Oldman_Loadorder' requires addon 'aA3_Modules_F_Oldman' I can still launch the game but I can't load any saves it just gives a message that says the old man file has been deleted and that its needed. I've tried validated the files through steam, that didn't work, and I don't have any mods loaded. How can I fix this?

[uncut trellis]

Oldman is vanilla game files. If you can figure our in what A3 pbo it's is you can manually delete the pbo and then run verify so it gets properly downloaded

[wicked talon]

anybody ever had problems like this when trying to create a private bikey? https://gyazo.com/4ecf9edbf8e14170a87000eac4affcf3

[fathom magnet]

Keep getting battle eye initialization failed

[pine kite]

Enable battleye in the launcher, it has a special tab.

[dusky summit]

Oh ffs. Looks like Arma 3 autosaves in the editor when you play your mission, even if you did a force load and it said that it won't autosave until your next manual save -_-

I lost part of my mission due to that

there isn't a way to recover a previous version, right?

[clear elk]

Thankyou we will both try to do that since we have never attempted port forwarding on eachothers routers, we both live quite far apart will portforwarding still be the case to fix it?

[ocean cosmos]

Only the host should require portforwarding

[pine kite]

Port forwarding is like placing a special mailbox (single or range of ports) for Arma-related letters to be delivered to your house. Any other topic not specifically addressed to another mailbox (other ports for specific uses) is not delivered by the postman. Or the letter withers away (drop, or are forgoten by the router) in the rain and dirt. The one hosting the game session needs to place that mailbox on the streetside (internet periphery of their router). Then the router takes the messages from the mailbox and delivers them to a specific room in your house (the IPv4 address of the computer running the Arma server).

[surreal sphinx]

ok I don't know anything so how do I do that?

[pine kite]

Find the file mentioned in the error in your Arma 3 folder somewhere. Addons likely. Shut down the game and Steam. Delete said file. Start Steam, verify the install of the game.

!steamverify

[rustic eagle]

Steam file verification process:
Right Click on game -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity of game files
Arma 3
Steam Workshop Mod repair process:
Open Launcher -> Right Click on mod -> Repair
The first process will automatically verify Steam Workshop items as well.

[surreal sphinx]

but the file isn't there. I've already checked the whole game files

wait am I looking for an a3.pbo file or the file that was listed in the error?

[steady hawk]

Just verify

[surreal sphinx]

I already tried verifying it. that didn't work

[steady hawk]

Then try to remove Arma 3\Expansion\addons\modules_f_oldman.pbo and re-verify

[surreal sphinx]

BLACK MAGIC, SORCERY!!!!

That worked thank you

[uncut trellis]

👌

The file was cursed

[stark sorrel]

hey ive been having this issue for a while where my audio lowers whenever i exit a vehicle

had the audio sharp at the start and then it just went quiet

[pine kite]

Someone in the Antistasi Community discord came with something similar recently. But no solution or cause was found (or reported if there was)

[stark sorrel]

how do i make a bugreport?

just incase

because ffs when i get bombardment i want to get military grade tinnitus

[fluid arrow]

Can i get some help. Steam keeps saying starting download each time i'm playing the game. Doesn't say in the launcher. The cause i think is because i kept subscribing and unsubscribing from a scenario in order to try and force an update. Now it seems stuck in limbo. Anybody any idea how i can fix this? And don't say reinstall.
I tried verify steam files
Deleting the steam cache
Subscribing and resubscribing the item.
Deleting the file on my pc.

I now put my download region on ecuador. Not sure if that is going to do anything.

Ok now i have the scenario i want but it's still looping the start downloading.

[mental river]

you've broken the manifest

[fringe salmon]

So, here's a weird one. OBS, no matter how hard I try, will NOT capture Arma 3 in Game Capture. It USED to but it now won't. I have to use Window Capture, which also captures all of the steam overlay stuff that shows personal info about my friends list and what games they're playing that I do not want visible.

Is there ANY way to fix this. I'll be asking in the OBS discord too. I do not want to use Display or Window capture. I have tried changing display modes. Nothing has worked.

[ocean cosmos]

Game capture is always dodgy for obs

[mental river]

laptop?

[fringe salmon]

Desktop

[mental river]

well for me personally it also doesn't work fine when I'm in fullscreen, so I just go to windowed mode, minimize Arma and switch to OBS, then again maximize Arma and it shows up in OBS

not sure why it works that way

[fringe salmon]

I've tried windowed

It used to work, idk why it stopped working

[burnt imp]

If you're still running into problems, try this https://youtu.be/rjX9hBrOaOM

[burnt imp]

I have the same problem. Let me know if you ever get it working

[fringe salmon]

Will do

[smoky sinew]

nvm im dumb

[steady hawk]

Then you shouldn't remove your question in the first place and leave the answer

[bronze river]

they way it looks rn it's a statement that you are dumb without context

[sturdy delta]

Why does everything look so white?

It's like I'm squinting my eyes

I can't see shit like this

Why not like this?

[bronze river]

Fog

do you have any other mod installed?

[sturdy delta]

In fact why is this game's render distance so low

It makes flying such a shitty experience

[bronze river]

then increase it

[sturdy delta]

It's on max

[bronze river]

then it's on server setting parameter

[sturdy delta]

Wdym

How do I change that

[bronze river]

are you the server owner?
i see that you are in antistasi server

[sturdy delta]

Yes

Yes

[bronze river]

should be in Lobby there should be parameter tab above name list

[sturdy delta]

Where?

[bronze river]

hmm this looks different

do you have automatic view distance mod in your modlist?

[sturdy delta]

No

I have ace and Antistasi Community version

[bronze river]

ace? try pressing LCtrl + [ or ] while flying

[sturdy delta]

Arma crashed hold on

[uncut trellis]

Arma does not like alt tabbing in full screen mode. Play in borderless window mode if you alt tab often.

[mental river]

it's a windows/driver issue

I've personally never had crashes when I Alt+Tab

[clear elk]

Thanks so much man!

[spice lily]

hi guys my arma hdr option cannot be adjusted, stuck at low

[somber zodiac]

Bro I finally found out why arma wasn’t working

The 2013 c+++ file wasn’t there

So I re downloaded it and now it works!

[pine kite]

It should be installed by Steam when you install Arma 3. But sometimes it goes broken. And you have to reinstall it. Also, the dedicated server does not get it installed automatically. But you do need it too for that.

[burnt imp]

!steamverify

[rustic eagle]

Steam file verification process:
Right Click on game -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity of game files

[proud wedge]

Game keeps crashing with the Exit code "0xC0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION"

[stray pond]

my arma keeps randomly crashing and making my monitors black out anyone know a fix?

[signal skiff]

anyway to remove the revive thing for mods that i use for singleplayer scenarios or if this is some random mod i found on workshop or it has somthing to do with ace

[steady hawk]

Could be a mission, could be a Mod. I can really say nothing since you really said nothing which Mod/Mission you play

[signal skiff]

in using OPCOM

[steady hawk]

Anyways you can remove Mods one by one or half by half to check which Mod does that. IDK OPCOM or the mission do, since I didn't use it

[signal skiff]

its a mission generator

[steady hawk]

Again IDK

[signal skiff]

I just removed a few im rebooting the game rn

[autumn kindle]

not able to load in for my unit everytime i pick my slot and press continue it crashes game have already checked integrity of game files

[humble wigeon]

That looks like project injury reaction to me

PIR

If get hit but you dont die on it you end up writing on the floor like that

Try disabling that mod

Last i checked it doesnt work with ace anyways without the patch mod

[quaint jewel]

BattlEye might be blocking it, especially if OBS recently updated their game capture things

[fringe salmon]

My battleye is turned off

[rugged lynx]

why does the vegetation look like this?

[pine kite]

Why should it look different. What is wrong with it?

Or is that not a reflection in a lake?

[rugged lynx]

it looks normal when im not near it

but when i go near it while playing as a character it looks like that

its supposed to look like this

i dont think this happens in other maps, i havent tried it im not sure rlly

[pine kite]

Which map is it? I haven't got a clue, but others might.

[rugged lynx]

its called mountain skirmish, east asia war mod

[pine kite]

Also, Arma 3, or older version?

[rugged lynx]

not an older version

[uncut trellis]

possibly bug in the models used. youll have to contact the author of the map

[fringe salmon]

I think I found the issue - Arma 3 launches with Admin privlages (as so does steam, for in-house streaming) and OBS isn't launched as admin. I'll try it out later.

[delicate cedar]

is this where I come for help with my game?

[steady hawk]

With what?

[delicate cedar]

it crashes every time I try to join a server with STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION

[steady hawk]

STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION itself is just a very generic error and can't say anything particular

You should to mention what Mods, missions, servers, whatever, every environment

[delicate cedar]

no mods, just a CodeFourGaming king of the hill

[steady hawk]

Did you tried to verify?

[delicate cedar]

yes

i verified and reinstalled

[steady hawk]

!rpt

[rustic eagle]

Arma 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

How about this?

[delicate cedar]

sorry i am new to arma, what are these for

[steady hawk]

Read the bot's message

[delicate cedar]

that is smart

how do I use the website

[steady hawk]

Top right, + to create one and save icon to save

[delicate cedar]

what do I do from there

[steady hawk]

Paste the rpt

[delicate cedar]

I can't copy or paste it

[steady hawk]

Copy or paste what

[delicate cedar]

the rpt file

[steady hawk]

rpt file is just a text file

[delicate cedar]

i can't open it or anything

[steady hawk]

Just open it with a notepad or such

[delicate cedar]

ok i have pasted it in, then what

[steady hawk]

Then share the link

[delicate cedar]

https://sqfbin.com/ahoqokoxadabohemazil

[steady hawk]

Hmm this itself doesn't seem bad

Did you tried another server?

[delicate cedar]

it was another code four gaming

should I try another?

[steady hawk]

Yes

[delicate cedar]

I tried an official server but it crashed again

[steady hawk]

Do you use USB Headset?

[delicate cedar]

wireless usb yes

[steady hawk]

Then try the pinned message's solution

Or just use 3.5mm jack

[delicate cedar]

what does it mean by sound quality? I only see volume sliders

[steady hawk]

I actually suggest the second step

[simple iron]

I need help in a vc with this I'm not knowledgeable on computers with this issue arma 3 won't open "the code execution cannot proceed because was not found"

nothing

It literally says nothing

it's blank

zero

[steady hawk]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/File:UnusualProcessExit.png
I mean similar to this dialog?

[simple iron]

No uhm how do I show you the image that pops up

[steady hawk]

Screenshot and upload it?

[simple iron]

I cannot

it won't let me

[steady hawk]

imgur then

[simple iron]

uhm how do I do that?

[steady hawk]

https://en.lmgtfy.app/?q=imgur+how+to+use

Uhh lmgtfy doesn't work 🤔

If you want to bother me, you can DM me so I can reupload

[simple iron]

bother

Hm, perhaps

[steady hawk]

I mean I just disliked to be DM'd

[simple iron]

I understand that

With your permission then I guess it won't be a problem?

[steady hawk]

You can whatever. Well, this time it will work but not for a very random question but slightly important like this one. Go ahead anyways

[simple iron]

Ok, give me a second so I can turn of something

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1003992805565288458/1003993188643647560/unknown.png

Oh, it didn't even reached to the Launcher

Or... did it?

[simple iron]

It did

I clicked play

then this popped up

I was confused cause this wasn't normal for arma

[steady hawk]

Well let me suggest to reinstall Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 and DirectX

[simple iron]

Wilco

[steady hawk]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1003992805565288458/1003994118290165830/unknown.png

Yeah, probably just check all

[simple iron]

Alrighty then

After that should it be fixed?

[steady hawk]

Try first, it won't burn everything up

[simple iron]

Understood, if this works thank you very much.

[steady hawk]

And I don't really know, this might be the solution but maybe not. If not, try DirectX as well

[simple iron]

Ok that was a neg to that, I download DirectX from Microsoft correct?

[steady hawk]

Should be

[simple iron]

Ok, installed without BING, should I give it a try now?

[steady hawk]

Urm BING?

[simple iron]

It gave me an option to install bing

[steady hawk]

Ah Bing Bar, nono you don't need one 😄

[simple iron]

Ah, righto.

Should I open arma and check if it's worked?

[steady hawk]

If both are reinstalled safely, you can probably launch and see. If doesn't work, relaunch your computer and Arma again

[simple iron]

Solid

No dice

[pine kite]

That top "Arm" version of Vcredist is for Arm-chip based computers. Not needed.

[mild sorrel]

why is there only a civillian team?

it wont let me join either

how to fix?

[uncut trellis]

player slots are full

[mild sorrel]

thats not the problem

[uncut trellis]

and king of the hill is all vs all isnt it

[mild sorrel]

There were three opposing factions

[uncut trellis]

well perhaps try reconnecting? or the server needs a restart

[mild sorrel]

i have done this multiple times

can you load the server and see what it looks like?

this has been a problem for me for weeks now

[uncut trellis]

nope Im working

[haughty saffron]

My game default loads a select set of mods regardless what I choose in the launcher everytime since last night?

I sent them a ticket about it, just under 6k hours in Arma 3 and this is the first time I've seen something like this.

[uncut trellis]

you probably have put some stuff in your launch parameters

[haughty saffron]

There WAS stuff in there but I've never manually used that tab ever, you know what would've done that?

[analog quartz]

Hello so I have a small microphone issue nobody can hear me but I can hear them and it says down in the chat as system message that "VON (Voice-Over Net) has been disabled for safety reasons"

Also when I try to auto detect micorphone volume in arma settings it just opens the auto detect window and instantly closes it and doesn't do anything

[pine kite]

Do you have a reserved spot on the server? If not, it is indeed full.

[pine kite]

Check in the parameters tab of the launcher if there are additional mods listed to be loaded. Or check the shortcut for Arma 3 to have additional parameters listed in the command line.

[slow comet]

The team select thing shows up when you load in iirc.

[mild sorrel]

ah ok

i havent playing in a loong time

is this a new thing?

Yeah, I think so.

Yuh

Didn't work for me, but I could try it again I guess

[analog quartz]

Well thanks for no help at all

[ocean cosmos]

no problem

[burnt imp]

I know at one point BI shut down VON on their official Arma 3 servers, but that doesn't explain your situation. It could be related to past history or possibly your location. It should come down to the server. I would reach out to the server owners

[analog quartz]

Ok that would be nice

Thanks for help

Further here is thread I started relating to this issue: https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/239632-issues-with-von/

[pine kite]

@analog quartz I am not sure if the error message shown to you is the cause of it. But check if you didn't disallow Arma 3 (or other application) to use your microphone in Windows security/privacy settings.

[analog quartz]

Doesn't seem like it

[pine kite]

Isn't that the list of Microsoft apps? Lower down that page perhaps there are some more? I have a list of 3rd part apps (Windows 10), one of which is Arma 3.

[analog quartz]

There isn't third party

[pine kite]

Yeah, that wouldn't mess with your microphone in and of itself.

why does my camera lock in first person when accessing the ace arsenal?

[idle finch]

only here for one question:

are there any potential problems associated with loading mods from a directory within an external hard drive (D) in order to not consume space on your local drive (C)

i did that recently and it worked so i dont think theres anything up but i've sort of seen information that suggests otherwise

^ and that is done by making that directory on the EHD a watched folder from the launcher

[mental river]

No
In fact if the game is on an HDD having data on 2 separate disks can help a little with loading times

Tho conversely if the mods were on SSD and now they're on HDD things will be slower
And another problem could be keeping your mods up to date (if you copied the mod folders, instead of symlink)

[latent trail]

hello why i cant open arma 3 tools

and still same

when im not using Development branch still same too

so what do i do?

[steady hawk]

What instructions?

[latent trail]

wait

fk i forgot the web name

so how do i solve this???

just running on the .exe

alright so

im not a much tech savyy person or anything but my arma keeps crashing

even after validating my mods and files, it keeps crashing.

and it does it at random, but usually within 20 minutes

all it gives me is a status access violation, and sometimes i don't even get the thing after the game suddenly closes.

doesn't even turn my screen black, it just closes the game out.

[uncut trellis]

Which access violation does it give?

[ashen horizon]

let me try a game real quick and see if it crashes

sometimes it doesn't even give me a error code

@uncut trellis

[uncut trellis]

There are few common fixes listed in the Arma wiki access violation wiki page

Also 0005 is sometimes connected to the USB audio device crash if you got any audio in use that's in USB port

[ashen horizon]

If its validating files and restarting your computer I've done that.

[uncut trellis]

There's more there

Related to broken windows. Install files

[ashen horizon]

I use a bluetooth headset, a external microphone, keyboard, mouse, external hard drive.

[uncut trellis]

Bluetooth dongle in USB?

[ashen horizon]

No, but I listed it to see if that would help

It's just a bluetooth headset.

[uncut trellis]
