[ashen horizon]

@ocean cosmos

do i send the most recent crash log?

[ocean cosmos]

ye

put it on sqfbin or pastebin or something

rpf file not mdmp file

[ashen horizon]

ah fuck

uh

\

this one si?

[ocean cosmos]

does the same thing happen when youre not using mods

[ashen horizon]

not sure

but im assuming it does

[ocean cosmos]

try it

[ashen horizon]

can i try it with the SOG dlc?

[ocean cosmos]

yes

[ashen horizon]

alright

@ocean cosmos no crashes

[ocean cosmos]

load your mods again until you get crashes again to figure out which one is causing it

there may be a few seeing as youre running like 80+ from what i can tell

[ashen horizon]

depending on the unit, yes

And I’ve tried doing that, it just crashes each time.

[ocean cosmos]

are you subscribed to a heartbreakridge northkorea mission

[ashen horizon]

Yeah

[ocean cosmos]

try unsubscribe from that

[ashen horizon]

Actually no

i dont see it

[ocean cosmos]

thats because its not an addom

[ashen horizon]

Even on the workshop I don’t see it

[ocean cosmos]

neither do i which is odd

but the rpt is complaining about file: HeartbreakRidgeNorthKorea (__CUR_MP)

[ashen horizon]

Hm

Is it that mission that breaks my game?

[ocean cosmos]

either that or world: btrx_sngt i believe as thats what the rpt is complaining about with the fault time and stuff

but im unsure which map that is

[ashen horizon]

Imma uninstall all my addons and only do the ones that are not from the unit that does heart break ridge

And then see if it works

[ocean cosmos]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?l=swedish&id=2466229756

are you subbed to this

[ashen horizon]

Yes

[ocean cosmos]

unload it

if its not loaded unsubscribe from the map entirely

[ashen horizon]

Imma try a different modpack and join my units server, completely opposite of the unit thats doing it on that map

[ocean cosmos]

thats the map that the mission is on so

[ashen horizon]

Yeah

Which probably means i cannot play with that unit until they move maps

[ocean cosmos]

wtf unit is using a 20x20km map

let alone one meant for aviation

if this geezer isnt you then it seems someone else is also having the issue

seeing as that was reported the day after an update i'd imagine thats why

[ashen horizon]

hm

I gotta wait till these mods update, then I can hop onto this damn server

[ashen horizon]

Loading onto the game finally

Not crashing so far

[ashen horizon]

Took a little but crashed

@ocean cosmos

[light jasper]

For some reason arma wont launch for me, its just stuck on loading in forever and then says arma isent responding, its only when ive got mods on though and it dosent matter what mod, it worked fine 2 days ago and i havent downloaded any new mods. Any idea on how to fix?

[pine kite]

Check the RPT file the game generates. It should show if any mods are loaded. Best to test this with none, and then just 1 basic mod (like CBA; should show up in menu for addon settings) to test if the game has problems with mods at all. Then if it works you can try to narrow down to specific mods.

!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.

[pine kite]

And verify your game files for good measure first:

!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.

[sand mesa]

1. Ive been having a problem with ACE causing crewmen (both ground and air vehicles) surviving the complete destruction of vehicles. This issue just started popping up for me, essentially whenever a vehicle of any type is destroyed with any type of weapon system, the crewmen survive disembarking from the vehicle without a scratch (even from helos exploding and crashing). Any fixes?

No I do not have Freestyle Crash Landing in my mod list or any mod that makes destroyed vehicles survivable.

2. Also Ive been having issues with TFARs ACE Spectator communication system. Looking through the CBA settings and stuff, I have Zeus enabled for being able to hear proxy comms of players when your camera is nearby, along with comms during ACE Spectator so dead players can still communicate with each other. But for some reason neither of these work. Has anyone experienced this or know how to fix it?

[tardy canyon]

I would recommend asking this in ACE's discord server, as far as I'm aware for #1, that's somewhat of a feature unless you're having a settings issue.

[sand mesa]

Could you DM their link?

[weary sky]

Have you checked #channel_invites_list because it's in there

[sand mesa]

Have not, but I already got the link DMd. Thanks though! This Discord has channels everywhere, hard to find what Im looking for. I appreciate you reaching out!

[static sky]

everytime i try to start arma this little pop up appears where its loading and it crashes everytime at "addons initializing" with the error message STATUS_APPLICATION_HANG pls help me

[steady hawk]

How many Mods you have?

[static sky]

56

[steady hawk]

Do you have some big Mods like CUP, RHS?

[static sky]

yes

[steady hawk]

Also CDLC?

[static sky]

whats this

[steady hawk]

Did you installed your game into an HDD?

[steady hawk]

Creator DLC, e.g. SOG Prairie Fire

[static sky]

never had problems before

[steady hawk]

I expected yes or no

[static sky]

only official

[static sky]

where can i see this

[steady hawk]

Google with like how do I know if my drive is HDD or SSD

[static sky]

ssd

[static sky]

so no

[steady hawk]

And is it really crashed?

How long did you waited?

[static sky]

i cant even reach main menu#

it crashes before launching properly

after about 20 seconds it crashes

[steady hawk]

Tried without Mods?

[static sky]

also crashes

[steady hawk]

Then verify the game

[static sky]

how do i do this

[steady hawk]

!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.

[static sky]

how do i verify integrity of game files

[steady hawk]

Literally explained in the bot's message

[static sky]

it says this Right Click on game -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity of game files

but what am i supposed to do when im in local files

[steady hawk]

Verify integrity of game files?

[static sky]

ah found it

says succesful

[steady hawk]

Then do you use an USB headset?

[static sky]

i have a round thing

[steady hawk]

Do you mean 3.5mm jack?

[static sky]

i think so

now the game launches without mods

but wont with mods

[steady hawk]

Then there is a faulty Mod

[static sky]

can i identify one?

[steady hawk]

Pick either of:

• Unload a Mod from the 56 Mods and try until you pick the faulty one
• Unload half of Mods (27) from the 56 Mods and try, and if the half succeed, try another half. If the half fails, split the half by half so 13 or 14 Mods, try again, until you identify one

[halcyon adder]

Anyone have any idea about these messages in server rpt? Server was online for 90 minutes on KP Liberation North Takistan, total of 34 occurrences (started slowly and then become more common) with the last one being two lines before server crash.

[humble wigeon]

For some reason obs is not recording arma anymore even though it was working a day ago

Its not being picked up by obs

Im running obs as administrator

[steady hawk]

Heard you need to run Arma 3 as Administrator as well will fix

Or, let me see, I think I red the same question really recently

#arma3_troubleshooting message
Yes, this

[humble wigeon]

Damn

Thanks for the heads up

Oh another thing

For some reason my friend’s radio text messages arnt coming through

We’re both on side and nothin’s coming from his end

Is there a distance limit

[steady hawk]

I don't believe so. It is possible that it is hidden

[humble wigeon]

How do you unhide it

[steady hawk]

I don't know, could be mission specific, could be the chat interface has been moved somewhere else

[humble wigeon]

I see

[humble wigeon]

Checked my hud layout but it all seems normal

[fringe salmon]

Heyo, so I reinstalled windows, had arma on one of my drives. Steam detected it.

I installed arma tools, set up Buldozer, but when I try to use it in OBJ Builder, I get this

[fringe salmon]

Hi guys, i would like to ask a question relating to adding a weapon to planes.
i'm currently in the process of trying to add a SOGPF mortar system to a single seater aircraft, because the mortar system has White Phosphorus rounds, and they seem to be the highest quality that are currently available

could anyone provide me with a working script for this? i've already tried this with scripts such as
this addWeaponTurret ["vn_b_army_static_mortar_m29",[-1]];
this addMagazineTurret ["vn_mortar_m29_mag_wp_x8",[-1]];

to no avail

cheers in advance

[umbral narwhal]

You'd have to use attachTo, but then the mortar won't be accessible to the pilot and AIs probably won't fly the plane.

[green flare]

anyone know why my night is like this

[umbral narwhal]

You mean "very dark"?

[green flare]

why does it look deepfried

like blue and stuff

and yes very dark in some areas

[uncut trellis]

mods?

[pine kite]

A hint of moonlight?

[pine skiff]

so

the error is: 0xCFFFFFFF - STATUS APPLICATION HANG

thats the error

when I boot up arma

[tall venture]

can anyone help me fix this error

[unreal jacinth]

Why would arma be doing this?

[quaint jewel]

What? Logging when mods have bad scripts and do stuff they shouldn't do?

To inform the modder that their mod is doing bad stuff and that they should fix it

[pine kite]

@pine skiff @tall venture You can find common error codes and solutions in this page: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_process_exit Unfortunately for you those codes of you do not have a tell tale sign why it happened or what the solution is. Make sure your game files are verified by Steam, that you can recreate the error without mods, that you don't have anything else malfunctioning in your system. And try to identify situations in which this occurs repeatedly. If you want more help, you should provide more details on what you did at the time, what was happening in the game, what mission was running, provide a mod list, etc.

[thorn swift]

Alright, exhausted my experimental attempts.

I'm trying to run a dedicated SOG:PF server, so I can test some scripts without bothering friends by using Loopback.

I've gotten the server up, multiple instances of Arma open with SOG:PF running, the server has access to the SOG:PF maps, and I can load in with one of my instances.

The problems are:

1. Loopback = true, kickDuplicates = false, battlEye = 0, but the second instance is still kicked for being a duplicate

2. None of the available missions have console access

I have a copy of Mike Force's pbo in the MP mission folder, but when attempting to select it I get 'can't find this mission collection, moving to next mission' errors.

I get the feeling that my server shortcut is ignoring the -config= line, since even with BattlEye = 0 it initializes BattlEye, and it isn't reading the hostName line at all, but I could be mistaken.

"C:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\arma3server_x64.exe" -port=2302 -config=Config.cfg -mod=vn

[brisk trellis]

Can anyone help me in arma 3 i have no sound of anything

[steady hawk]

Did you accidentally enabled -noSound parameter in Arma 3 Launcher?

[umbral narwhal]

@thorn swift Is the server running on the same machine as the clients?

[thorn swift]

Yeah, as a dedicated server.

I got TADST working again, so for the moment things are resolved-ish, still kinda bugged that it wouldn't take the config, but at least I can get to testing.

[umbral narwhal]

shrugs

TADST is just a config generator.

[thorn swift]

That may be, but for some ungodly reason whenever I host without it, no role options are created in the assignment screen.

[umbral narwhal]

where is this Config.cfg file?

You really want to specify a profile folder in the server command line too, although I don't see how that would affect the config.

[thorn swift]

I did previously, but erroneously removed the line in some variant of testing

The config file and shortcut are both in my root Arma 3 folder, next to the arma server application it's shortcutted to.,

[umbral narwhal]

And it's not a file extension issue, like the file's name is actually Config.cfg.txt? :P

[thorn swift]

Not as far as I can tell, windows lists the Type as 'CFG File'

And hey, no dumb questions, gotta rule out even the simplest solutions.

[pine kite]

Are you running all instances with that same commandline? Each instance should have their own starting port number. Even if it is local.

[thorn swift]

Hrn, no. That's just the server shortcut commandline; One instance of the game was launched by the standard Arma 3 launcher, the second by a shortcut to the application which only added the -mod=vn portion.

[pine kite]

Oh ok, I misunderstood then I guess.

Does that mikeforce PBO have the terrain name as part of the filename? mikeforcewhatever.cam_lao_nam.pbo

[thorn swift]

I did get that one corrected; may have had to unpack the PBO but I got there in the end. Mostly just needed to make sure my project works while running it.

[wary pewter]

i can't compile PBOs on windows 11 and i dont have the button to do it on the right click menu

[pine kite]

Did you select the PBO file? I don't have Win11 to verify if PBOmanager is compatible. But usually people point to the wrong object and rightclick.

[uncut trellis]

dont build addons with pbomanager

[wary pewter]

what do i use then?

[neat kraken]

Hello i have a gtx 1660,i3 10100,i8 gb ram ddr4.
I hva everything on lowest settings.
I get 30 fps on sp.
Help

Pls

[uncut trellis]

well for best debug info, pboProject

for simple stuff Arma3 tools AddonBuilder can work

[uncut trellis]

not much can be done. your hardware is likely limiting factor. use autodetect , low settings are bad

then lower view distance

[neat kraken]

Done,its on the lowest

[uncut trellis]

and in MP its server performance that limits fps

[neat kraken]

Its strange bc i get good fps on all games

[umbral narwhal]

"30fps on sp" doesn't mean anything. Check YAAB standard, preferably 1080p.

[pine kite]

Don't use the lowest settings. That makes it worse. It shoves the load to the CPU. Use autodetect.

[umbral narwhal]

Or start with "standard" at least.

[uncut trellis]

Also Arma is not all the other games. that does not really mean anything

[restive sequoia]

Not so sure about that. More like amount of objects, ai, players and vehicles. Our server fps is the same with 10 or 70 players but client fps is not.....

[uncut trellis]

it affects player fps too

this is known

[umbral narwhal]

It's often stated but I've never seen it. We had an issue with Antistasi Community servers where the server ran at ~5fps for long periods, and it didn't seem to affect client frame rates.

[placid shadow]

I need help, I am going insane. [ I am using 3den Enhanced ] I have searched all setting an the entirety of google xD

***You used to be able to reset the object rotation by holding left shift + Mouse left-click and drag. This would reset the X and Y rotation. ***

But I can no longer do this, ever time I put down a object it's slanted, and 'toggle vertical mode' and 'toggle surface snapping' are off.

It's been a couple of weeks like this but I am going insane about this. Please help, please if anyone knows, I need to fix this 😭

[burnt imp]

Give this a try. Some 500+ people said it worked for them. https://youtu.be/GktBSZcglFk

[humble wigeon]

Yep worked

But i also had a suspicion

I had some different parameters on start up

So i disabled them and badda bing badda boom obs is reading arma again without me having to open with administrator

[brisk trellis]

No

[steady hawk]

Did you ever heard anything from Arma 3 before?

[quaint apex]

can anyone have this familiar error

[steady hawk]

A faulty Mod does. Or a Mod is corrupted

[quaint apex]

idk witch one is corrupt

[steady hawk]

Neither

You can probably do this

[quaint apex]

it did not work

[steady hawk]

Did not work how?

[quaint apex]

after validating it still getting the error message

i send you the shared preset

and try to look for the problem

[steady hawk]

I'm almost certain of the Libertad is the faulty. Do fix or reinstall

[quaint apex]

but with a diffrent preset, it works fine . With this error message

but works fine

[steady hawk]

• Why but?
• What is with a diffrent loadout?

[quaint apex]

its preset

mod preset

[steady hawk]

And why but? I thought you wanted to fix this issue that came from the preset
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/141866231362879488/1006857514496827492/unknown.png

[quaint apex]

like you said, its from a mod

but what mod

i shared you my mod preset

[steady hawk]

☝️

[quaint apex]

im done

[steady hawk]

Obviously the preset you shared has a Mod that starts with LIB and that is Libertad so I assume so

And done with what?

[pine kite]

'(s)he figured it out him/herself'

[steady hawk]

I-I thought he meant he's done with me

[pine kite]

Might also be the case. Still their problem though if they don't want to listen.

[tribal condor]

Anybody that uses ALIVE (orbat creator) know how to fix this?

[pine kite]

Looks like some 'Rokatry' mod has a bug in it. Get rid of it and try again.

[fringe salmon]

Making a mission with IFA but the german soldiers are all speaking english with american accents, how do i fix this?

[arctic dune]

my arma 3 dont open it says that battleye blocked a dinput8.dll file. how can i resolve this? thanks in advance

this is images of the error i get

[dull valve]

0xC0000135 - STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND error on startup, I have reinstalled the game fully and I'm still getting the error

nothing I do can get the game to launch

[pine kite]

Looks like your Battleye got messed up. Biki site about common errorcodes: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_process_exit#0xC000009A_-_STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES

@dull valve you can use the same link. It has a section higher up about your error code.

[dull valve]

I’ve checked that and none of the solutions seem to work though I could just be doing them wrong

When launching the game through the launcher I get an error saying that “ “ is missing

Like a blank entry

Using the games exe I get the same error but it says that vcomp120 is not found

[pine kite]

Other people have gotten blank filename error like that before. I can't remember the cause or solution.

Then likely VisualC++ Redistributable 2013 isn't installed.

[dull valve]

I’m now trying to fix that but I can’t seem to do that particularly easily

[pine kite]

I don't see why that would be difficult. Download the x86 and x64 files through the link on microsoft site. Execute them as administrator.

[dull valve]

Last time I tried installing them it came up with some error about missing files or duplicated files or something like that

This time it seems to have worked though

Thank you so much

Now I’m just miffed I reinstalled the game because it means I’m stuck installing 200 gigs of mods that never needed to be uninstalled

Thanks again for the help

[arctic dune]

Already did that it didnt work

[pine kite]

Well, I don't know another solution. Uninstall it, reinstall it. Check if your virusscanner is messing with it.

[umbral narwhal]

Check you don't have any cheats installed :P

[arctic dune]

done it, it was the dinput8.dll was damaged, had to reinstall windows and now it works

[still vine]

Hey my milsim have a probleme, we lunch our serveur and when a player connect this error appear and crash the server

House 5dfb7900# 1809177: pier_f.p3d (from) not found in the operative map

[pine kite]

I'm guessing that player is trying to load in with his own set of mods or 3d models that the server does not agree with. And does not object to things it doesn't know. Contact that player and make sure to match the modset on both sides.

[umbral narwhal]

Do you mean when a specific player connects or when any player connects?

[still vine]

the modset is the same than both side

server and client

it seem to be good

the serv is on

[uncut trellis]

enable signature check perhaps

[still vine]

we wait to see

the modset is the same than both side

[still vine]

it's good !

[digital pike]

Anyone have experience with setting up permenant servers with mods using serverblend as a provider I'm having trouble getting my server up with the mods I want could someone help me out

[pine kite]

Best to explain said problems right away. It saves us having to ask what exactly is the matter.

Also, for server management issues there is #server_admins. And make sure you searched through any of the serverblend support/knowledge base articles they provide.

[tardy gust]

How do I play multiplayers for dlcs

What does this mean

[uncut trellis]

that your files are not compatible with the server for some reason

you you own the Western Sahara DLC?

[young river]

imm adding rpgs to my units but they dont spawn with them, any help?

[uncut trellis]

how do you add them?

[young river]

i put them in their loadouts

and they dont spawn with backpacks

the secondary

or the

rpg

[uncut trellis]

possibly you are using units that are set to spawn on X type of gear

[ocean cosmos]

What mod are these units from

[pine kite]

You are trying to join a server while you have the Western Sahara CDLC enabled. Either you need to disable the CDLC in your launcher and game client if you do not intend to play that, or the server needs to be on the Creator DLC branch if that is intended to play it.

[pine kite]

He seems to have it enabled. But the server apparently doesn't. Not sure which is intended.

[trim bloom]

/entrypoint.sh: line 388: 2988 Killed ${modifiedStartup}
PTDL_CONTAINER_ERR: There was an error while attempting to run the start command.

i received this error while using my dedicated server. it restarts every time i join it

[pine kite]

What sort of mission are you playing?

[trim bloom]

antistasi malden

[umbral narwhal]

That's a host script of some kind.

[trim bloom]

what does that mean

[umbral narwhal]

You're using some sort of hosting service, right?

[fringe salmon]

Is this the right place to ask for problems with ACRE? I'm not sure if the problem could maybe be the dedicated server setup.

Anyway, sometimes, a player can lose the ability to hear anyone else when playing with ACRE. Everyone can hear this player (including over radio), but this player cannot hear anyone else. This can just happen randomly in a mission.

Additionally, some players need to hold the radio button and the proximity voice chat button simultaneously in order to talk over the radio. I suspect this is a Teamspeak keybindings issue. Any ideas?

[pearl sorrel]

ACRE support will be via ACE discord.

[fringe salmon]

Since when is ACE responsible for ACRE? Thanks for the heads up, I'll go check there. 🙂

[pine kite]

It merged with the last update iirc.

[serene marten]

anyone know why some of my mods not load when in zues, but in editor I can see all the mods.

[trim bloom]

sorta

[fringe salmon]

Hold on. Does that mean that I don't need ACRE enabled if I have ACE???

[weary sky]

you won't get ACRE magically when loading ACE, only support on Discord is now merged, not the mods themselves

[pine kite]

My bad, I got confused with ACEX. That got incorporated as of 3.14 https://ace3.acemod.org/wiki/user/ace3-and-acex.html

[night marsh]

I AM HAVING BIG BOY ISSUES :(

Objects continue to unrender and then rerender

and lag the game immensely so

youtube, not the video

Whenever I try to play I get this: "Cannot connect to EU Southwest"

[uncut trellis]

try some other server?

for some reason your connection to that server is broke/blocked

[brisk saddle]

Im not even connecting to a server when it happens

[uncut trellis]

perhaps its geforecenow issue then

youll have to ask their support

[brisk saddle]

Yeah I think it is, it just straight up boots me off the game when I try to play CSGO

is there a way to have arma 3 installed on my ssd and have the mods on my hdd

[steady hawk]

https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/213337-can-i-have-workshop-content-on-another-hard-drive/
Go check this probably. Never tested on my end.

Also, don't crosspost.

[fringe salmon]

ya i cheked it out and someone in /r/steam discord said it wouldnt work

[steady hawk]

https://www.reddit.com/r/arma/comments/5wojd3/arma_3_on_ssd_but_want_the_workshop_mods_on_my_hdd/
Or this. I don't know this is valid

[fringe salmon]

would this work? @steady hawk ||sry for hella late ping||

[steady hawk]

Prolly

I took Greenfist's way in the forums and it worked

[fringe salmon]

ye ill try that if this doesn't work

would i have to drag everything from C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\!Workshop to this folder?

[mental river]

don't do that

or your mods will not be updated anymore

[fringe salmon]

but would it work

[mental river]

just make a symlink

[mental river]

if you don't care about wasting space and don't care about updates, sure, it "works"

[fringe salmon]

wym wasting space

[steady hawk]

tldr

don't do that

[fringe salmon]

ight lmao

[pine kite]

Actually, I think those things in !Workshop are already symlinks to folders for mods in the SteamLibrary/Workshop. Those contain the actual files. What you see in !Workshop are the fake folders.

[fringe salmon]

So I'm having the strangest problem with A3 where on a zeus mission my friend spawns in a mountain (up in the air for me) and I spawn down where everyone else spawns. This is a weird bug.

We have found the issue to be that he didn't have the map mod loaded so it just put him on a base game map.

has anyone tried running ArmA 3 multiplayer on Macbook/MacOS? is it possible via virtualization?

[topaz field]

my game was working fine yesterday it wont letting me launch it now
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/311478997169209354/1008424693847564328/unknown.png

[pine kite]

The native mac version is way out of date version 1.8x-something. No point doing multiplayer with that. If you can get a virtual Windows going, that might work. But don't know anything about whether performance would suffice.

[runic glacier]

anyone know why my friends cant see when i make a local server and i cant see theres?

[pine kite]

Could you see their server in the serverbrowser before, or not at all?

[runic glacier]

nope

we are useing zero tier since we cant port forward

[pine kite]

It is normal for your router to block incomming traffic from your friends. I don't know what zero tier is exactly.

[runic glacier]

its basically like connecting to the same network

[pine kite]

The person with the server needs to figure out their Zero-tier IPv4 address. Then the other try to direct connect to that.

[gleaming breach]

has anyone ran into a mic issue?

everything else is fine

just arma

[steady hawk]

More specifically. What microphone issue?

[steady hawk]

☝️

[gleaming breach]

so

just the icon is flashing

the mic itself is working

but none of my team can hear me

[steady hawk]

What is the icon?

Also: USB Headset?

[gleaming breach]

the team chat icon

radio

3.5 in plug

[steady hawk]

Are you sure the microphone is set default in Windows?

[gleaming breach]

yes

it works in every single game

but Arma

squad

war thunder

discord chat

[steady hawk]

No need to name unrelated games. Also don't spam Enter key too often

[gleaming breach]

ok

I went online but doesn't seem like others are having any problems like me

[steady hawk]

https://www.reddit.com/r/arma/comments/nbro3t/arma_3_microphone_isnt_working/
Have you tried this solution?

[gleaming breach]

so set mic to cd

I will try that

Thanks

[bronze river]

make sure you are in the same channel as them

[drifting stirrup]

this is probably not the right place, but did someone notice that it seems the environment map on the rifle optics doesn't work anymore?

noticed it today and now i can't unsee it anymore. it's like the optic (glass) texture has no reflection anymore

Hello! I'm having an issue in a mission I made. As Zeus, I'm unable to double-click waypoints to open their menu, call CAS, skip time, or most other actions that open similar menus (players and vehicles work). All my other missions work perfectly fine. Is there a way I can fix this without re-creating the mission?

[waxen dragon]

Hi I have a problem with the publisher of Arma 3, it's been a week since my game crashed. When I launch the editor everything works but after 1 hour 30 my game crashes. I looked for solutions but it didn't work.

[uncut trellis]

what solutions have you tried?

[waxen dragon]

I check the game files, Remove mods

[uncut trellis]

is there any error message?

and have you checked the RPT log files if they state any errors? @waxen dragon

[waxen dragon]

I did not receive any error message. I don't know where the RPT file is.

[uncut trellis]

!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.

[waxen dragon]

I found the file

[uncut trellis]

well you seem to be running out of memory

maybe its a hardware issue

[waxen dragon]

It's weird can be the mods?

[uncut trellis]

maybe

your mods do throw a lot of errors

[waxen dragon]

Can you tell me which ones? If you see them

[uncut trellis]

no that is not clear

[waxen dragon]

Ok I'll take some off. I hope that it will work.

[waxen dragon]

It's does not work

Can i send your bohemai link ? I have the same problem as this person.

[uncut trellis]

I dont know anything else to help. youll have too wait to see is someone else has ideas

[waxen dragon]

This is the first time that it happens to me. I reinstalled my game. Check the graphics drivers, everything is ok but it doesn't work.

[umbral narwhal]

It does happen shortly after the first "Generating ST on the fly is very slow" message.

Caused by non-binarized model (p3d) apparently.

Maybe the routine that handles that rare case doesn't work correctly either.

Would have to be a bad mod anyway. Models are really supposed to be binarized.

[uncut trellis]

could very well be loading some messy mods

[waxen dragon]

ok i will check that

[humble wigeon]

For some reason it takes multiple attempts for my friend to join my server

He keeps getting disconnected for no reason

This is arma 3

I sent him my modlist which he has loaded

Im using unpnp

And usually he can get in

[ocean cosmos]

Any error message?

[pine kite]

Is the disconnect before he gets in to the server mission. Or after you have been playing for a while.

[humble wigeon]

We havent even started the server mission yet

Lobby

[humble wigeon]

Not that i know of

No

He reports no errors

[pine kite]

See if you can find any lines in the RPT log file of the server when he tries.

[fringe salmon]

Im having an issue, i crash on initializing/loading addons

[fleet verge]

Is there a list of mods / mod types that are known to cause the infamous 3fps Minecraft terrain bug?

My community has all gotten it out of nowhere and I’ve been pulling my hair out trying to find the cause. I would think the most obvious culprit is a mod but I haven’t found any abusive messages in my rpt files

I distinctly remember one night about two weeks ago where everyone got it at the exact same time

People moving in and out of TFAR all at once; it was pretty ridiculous

Bug just showed it’s ugly face out of nowhere with no warning and with no prior history of having it happen to us before

[uncut trellis]

do you run server with signature check?

[fleet verge]

As of right now, no. Could it be someone else loading something they shouldn’t be?

[uncut trellis]

not impossible at least

[fleet verge]

It’s just odd that it can cause it for everyone all at the same time

I thought it could’ve been the profiling branch, my server itself, the mission, Lambs AI since it seems to get bad when AI spawn

And have had no luck in narrowing it down at all

Taking away bigger mods has made it trigger an hour into a mission instead of ten minutes, but it still happens

I’m not home to provide rpt files unfortunately

[vital gyro]

i have made a server map for my server and for the love of god i can not figure out why in the world i cant see my player slot's at all when i have them down with a respawn point and everthing can someone please hop in a vc with me and take a look

bc i just can not figure this out at alll

[fleet verge]

I think my issue was linked to the new "Animate" mod

[vapid whale]

when i host a game using internet and upnp and my friend go to server browser and then friends the server doesent show up

[mental river]

Have you confirmed that this was the issue?

[spare edge]

Hello everyone, right after loading a Single-player Game did anyone of you fire a weapon that was loaded with explosivee bullets without it being supposed to ?

[humble wagon]

@spare edge never had that, are you running mods?

[spare edge]

yes about 225

[harsh kiln]

My mic isnt working in game, i can hear people, but no sound goes through my end in game, my mic works literally everywhere else, windows, steam, gta etc

how would i go about fixing that, nothing i found online has worked

[waxen dragon]

Hi I have a problem. I can no longer launch my party in the editor.

[fleet verge]

We will be trying to confirm it tonight

Last night we had a huge play session and we did not get the 3fps bug once the whole time after removing it

We’re going to try and lag our server out with explosions and hundreds of ai and stuff to see what happens

And then do a regular play session after a restart

Did it cause it? I think so, but I’m unsure if it was the Animate mod itself, you know? We’ve got a lot of mods and it could just be playing bad with some of them

[mental river]

the reason I ask is that if you can confirm that animations cause the 3 FPS bug then we can dig further

and hopefully fix the bug once and for all

[shadow raptor]

Anyone able to help?

this keeps randomly happening

[humble wagon]

Well 99,9% sure that will probably the cause of those exploding bullets 😉

[tardy gust]

What does this mean why can’t I join multiplayer in dlcs

I downloaded the dlc

It just don’t let me play multiplayer

It even let me use the editor for making scenarios

[spare edge]

I suspect it to be CBRN CHEMICHAL WARFARE mod

[shadow raptor]

?

[pine kite]

You are trying to join a server while you have the Western Sahara creator DLC enabled. The server does not, so it denies you access.

[pine kite]

That is a very generic error message: Try to do the suggestions under your errorcode: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_process_exit

[pine kite]

Some other application took control over your profile files and the game can't use them. Are you using a dedicated server in the background as is suggested in that error message? Or is a malware scanner busy checking that?

[waxen dragon]

No I don't have any of that

[fleet verge]

Maybe? I’m not really sure. This particular mod adds animations for opening doors every time you open it and map opening animations among a lot of other stuff

But it definitely is not happening after we have disabled it

The mod adds options for AI to utilize the animations as well and we had noticed anytime AI spawn we would drop frames far harder and sharper than normal arma 3 frame lag

After turning it off that stopped happening and now we just get “normal” frame issues

Also we never tested it with just that mod on and no others

We tested it with our whole modpack; it may be worth seeing if you can get the bug to trigger with vanilla game and that on

[uncut trellis]

sounds like such features may be very performance heavy. There is likely issues in the mod itself and if that is the case there isnt anything you can do about it

[waxen dragon]

Do you know where the data profile is so that I can delete it? it might work

[pine kite]

Your "Documents/Arma 3" or "Documents/Arma 3 - Other Profiles" is where arma profile is stored. If you use OneDrive, that may be a folder in between Documents and Arma 3.

[worn jungle]

Humm,
Is there solution to get create P: drive,
Arma tools no dot let me do that (i think my win10 and OneDrive dont let)
Getting just error cannot create

[fleet verge]

3 hour game session with a lot of resource-intensive mods and did not get the bug once

Whereas before with animate on we would get it within 10 minutes to an hour

Everytime, every player, without fail

[glacial harness]

Can I somehow add vanilla missions into Eden Editor?

[crisp coral]

i keep getting status dll not found error, anyone know how to fix that

[tardy gust]

i was joining that server for that map tho

[flint canyon]

I was trying to join my units server to test the mission I made for tonight. Mission loaded fine but when I tried to click ok to get to try spawn selection my game kept crashing, I have a picture of the error code. Anyone have ideas as to why and how to fix it? We do use mods.

[crisp coral]

and this also pops up

[pine kite]

Then verify your game install from Steam. Maybe your files are not updated correctly or gotten corrupt somehow.

[umbral narwhal]

@crisp coral Reinstall these:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/update-for-visual-c-2013-redistributable-package-d8ccd6a5-4e26-c290-517b-8da6cfdf4f10

[crisp coral]

no yeah i just reinstalled that

and it started to work

[grizzled sage]

i have a problem where when i try to start workshop scenarios nothing happens. i just click play but nothing happens and the game doesn't freeze or anything just doesn't start

[green marsh]

Anyone know why my dedicated sever is refusing to work?

Essentially it doesn’t see GRAD on the server mod command line (I’m guessing)

I input it into the command line, still error.

I remove all traces of GRAD from the server box and the mission in eden, I still get the error.

[restive sequoia]

Doesn't look like if you still get the error clearly showing there is Item9 in your mission.sqm, still causing the error ^^

[green marsh]

So most likely, the server box isn’t reading the mod then?

Or isn’t seeing it?

[restive sequoia]

mission.sqm is part of you missionfile

[green marsh]

Then what is causing the error exactly?

[restive sequoia]

" clearly showing there is Item9 in your mission.sqm, still causing the error"

[green marsh]

What can I do to fix it?

[restive sequoia]

Open your mission.sqm with Eden editor and delete the item

[green marsh]

Oh shoot that easy. Ok let me do that

[pine kite]

And check the server RPT file if the mod actually was recognised. Putting it in the command line is one thing, the path being found is another.

hmm do I use the replace option to delete all of them?

Hi I have a question. Why the AI ​​when there are many enemies in front, it does not shoot? In the editor

[uncut trellis]

mods

[waxen dragon]

Mods ?

[ocean cosmos]

mods

[waxen dragon]

lol i know but what words can do that? It's quite annoying.

[pine kite]

Rip out halve of the mods, if they still don't shoot, it's in the other halve of the mods. Repeat until you are left with one. Just be aware of which mods depend on which other mods.

[waxen dragon]

ok i will check that thanks

[errant gulch]

I am having an issue, even if I boot up the game with no mods, my game for the first 5 min freezes every 2 seconds for half a second. Makes the game almost unplayable when launched, meaning I have to wait until it stops doing that

I just booted up the game in offline steam mode, and it does not freeze anymore, wtf

what could be the issue?

because obviously I would like to play online without freezing aswell

[frozen needle]

Hey, I suppose here isn't the place to ask about troubleshooting with mods (I have an issue with TFAR), if its not, could someone point me to the right channel? I'm struggling to find it 😅

[ocean cosmos]

tfar discord

#channel_invites_list

[mental river]

isn't Steam updating something in the background?

also do you use battleEye?

in any case, make a ticket on the feedback tracker so that the devs can look into it

[errant gulch]

I use battleye, and even tho I have pending downloads, none of them are actually downloading

Fair enough, but we all know it probably wont be solved by posting it to devs

[mental river]

that's not true. they have fixed some bugs with each update

[sterile girder]

Arma 3 uses like 6% - 10% gpu and like 5% cpu when using eden editor and playing as characters or spectating

this makes my fps be extremely low, like 5fps

changing qualities doesnt make any difference at all, i have 3090 and ryzen 9

pls help

[steady hawk]

In what situations? Mods? What video settings?

[umbral narwhal]

well, usage there is normal. Question is how you get it down to 5fps :P

[sterile girder]

yes i use many mods, ultra settings, but changing to low doesnt change fps at all

[steady hawk]

Low makes it worse

[umbral narwhal]

standard is better than low.

[sterile girder]

idk, i usually have 20 - 40 characters in a battle at once

[umbral narwhal]

Busted mods then.

[steady hawk]

Always try in vanilla

[sterile girder]

ive tried all arma fps guides

ok lemme try it and ill see

welp it does seem like its mod

pulling 90 fps with better usage on vanilla lol

[steady hawk]

I've never heard of a Mod that makes a performance such worse...

[umbral narwhal]

It's definitely possible with spammed object creation calls. I've done it by accident :P

[steady hawk]

But doesn't make CPU/GPU more busy not bored?

[umbral narwhal]

Nah, Ryzen 9 has 32 effective cores, so it's always gonna stop at ~3-5% CPU.

[steady hawk]

Hmm

[umbral narwhal]

and then GPU usage will actually drop with lower (CPU-capped) frame rates.

[steady hawk]

Makes sense, I guess

[fathom ermine]

No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVideoOptions.PiPVisibility

not sure how to fix

[steady hawk]

Do you load Performance Branch?

Or, which version of Arma 3 you load?

[fathom ermine]

Not 100% sure, never changed it before and never had issues until today.

[fathom ermine]

running default arma

[steady hawk]

Vanilla you mean?

[fathom ermine]

yes

[steady hawk]

You can probably ignore it after all, did you installed Performance Branch or RC Branch?

[fathom ermine]

cant

[steady hawk]

Can't what?

[fathom ermine]

cant ignore

loads a thing like bulldozer

from obj builder

[steady hawk]

Ah

But can't you just ignore? The error message is something you can close

[fathom ermine]

nah

i close it

but then arma starts in a widow like balls in bulldozer

[steady hawk]

Where is your Buldozer?

[fathom ermine]

C

[steady hawk]

I mean is it a different exe than Steam's Arma3_x64.exe?

[fathom ermine]

no

[steady hawk]

Then verify Arma 3

[fathom ermine]

did and failed

ill send u the sc of it

it said it validated all the files

ill do it again

[fathom ermine]

issue was bulldozer parameter

[cunning sierra]

ryzen 9 (desktop) models have 12 or 16 cores

[umbral narwhal]

With HT, so for the global CPU usage percentage it calculates as if you were using one of 24 or 32.

It's a bit silly because you could probably use the maximum power budget with four threads.

How do i fix the mouse glitch its where the mouse is not where it shows it like if i hover over editor i half to go off to the side to click it?

[pine kite]

Expand those to the range 2302-2306, and UDP would suffice. I don't know if those"zeroes in "External source port number" are deliberatly set to 0, or if that means "I don't care" to your router. Best leave it empty when setting it, as you can't control what port people send data from.

[restive sequoia]

Updated my test server and the game and now i can't join the server.
"Steam authentication failed" 🤔

Also getting this
14:13:24 Warning: Current Steam AppId: 233780 doesn't match expected value: 107410

[ocean cosmos]

your server seems to have a dlc listed as an appid i think..?

[restive sequoia]

Gonna re-download server and verify client files

[quaint jewel]

233780 is server, 107410 is client

but I think steam_appid.txt should contain 107410

[restive sequoia]

Works now, either steam messed something up or me (not sure how tho) 😅

[restive sequoia]

Some players now trigger a BE script exception i fixed ages ago and never appeared for anyone again. (No changes made to any BE filters).

maybe the scripts there changed slightly, so that you exception now doesn't hit anymore

maybe some whitespace changes or smth?

I don't know how BE filters work

[restive sequoia]

Good call, that was the old error message that was fixed.

the i at the beginning is now missing.

The indentation before "bi_Logger" probably

[restive sequoia]

Another weird one, looks like the server is reporting wrong IP addresses for users
US guy suddenly has a german IP
Or russian guy suddenly US IP

[quaint jewel]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

are you sure its not maybe battleye inverting the IPs?

they did that a while ago, but they should've fixed it

[restive sequoia]

You are right, it's inverted

[quaint jewel]

windows or linux?
Your beserver should update itself and the newest version should have it fixed 🤔

[restive sequoia]

Windows

[quaint jewel]

Will look into it. I reported it a month ago and it was fixed a month ago so definitely weird 😄

[quaint jewel]

@restive sequoia the fix indeed hadn't been released yet, it will stay broken for a few days

[karmic turtle]

Hey I port forward a lot with friends and suddenly the server wont show up for them

[lusty cape]

It seems that Linux dedicated server hasn't been updated after the recent update, or is it me not properly looking at it?

[quaint jewel]

linux server has been updated

on main and profiling branch.. are you on the CDLC branch? @lusty cape

[lusty cape]

Nope, vanilla

[quaint jewel]

I updated my server 4 hours ago and it went fine

[ocean cosmos]

ditto here with my linux server

[lusty cape]

Somehow the server client won't update...

This is my bash update script

Can't quite understand what am I doing wrong.
Inb4: there are no duplicated folder or anything like that. SteamCMD:

Connecting anonymously to Steam Public...OK
Waiting for client config...OK
Waiting for user info...OK
Success! App '233780' already up to date.

[quaint jewel]

you can try to add a validate

[lusty cape]

Tried with that option as well, same output

[restive sequoia]

Sounds weird but maybe related to the same bug i had, my server has the ID 107410 in the steam_appid.txt
Not sure how it is on linux.

Even tho SteamDB says server has the ID 233780

https://steamdb.info/app/233780/
https://steamdb.info/app/107410/

There also was someone with the exact same problem
#server_windows message

[lusty cape]

The steam_appid.txt contains 107410.

[quaint jewel]

unrelated, wrong appid won't make the server not update

[lusty cape]

Hold on, I think I resolved the issue.
While logging in SteamCMD as anonymous it doesn't update the game, although the logs show the opposite.
Tried logging in from my account - it shows now the download progress and validating.
Voila!

@glass saddle

[glass saddle]

Thanks goat, you the goat 😎

[static monolith]

whats the legacy code for the previous arma version? i think it was 2.04 but Arma3Legacy204 doesnt work

[uncut trellis]

2.04 would be preeetty old 🤔

[static monolith]

whichever version arma 3 was on before the update

[patent kettle]

we're on 2.10

so previous one was 2.08

Arma3Legacy208

[static monolith]

worked 😄 thx

[static monolith]

how do i update the dedicated server? i did the thing with steam appupdate xxxxxx validate but the arma 3 server executables are still on 2.08

[umbral narwhal]

Apparently you have to log in with a real steam account.

[static monolith]

did so

[glass saddle]

sorry to ping you, I did the 1st step, but would I need to individually repair each mod? I still have the same error after verifying. Thanks

[uncut trellis]

run without mods first to see if it works

[robust seal]

Hello when i try to load a scenario with chernarus map it says Cannot load World " and the game crashes how do i fix this?

[uncut trellis]

you might not have right map

[robust seal]

how do i download the right map?

where is the map for chernarus

[static monolith]

cup_terrains maps?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=583544987

if youre playing that one version of antistasi PLUS then its cup terrains maps 2.0

[mental river]

what is your GPU?

[glass saddle]

laptop GTX 2060

6gb VRAM (I think it's vram)

I've got around 2k hours and I've never encountered this problem before

[mental river]

reinstall DirectX and see if it solves the problem

also if your GPU driver is too old or too new that could be the problem too

also do you use any mods related to thermals?

[glass saddle]

Going to try to run w/o mods first as 🐐 suggested and then the DirectX, as I've just googled and downloaded the thing, said it can't actually be uninstalled, but the driver/application.exe (whatever) can be and I've just done that and hasn't appeared with any options

I have like 390 mods loaded, but yeah, I haven't had any problems previously

Ok so no mods loads fine., I have 390 as in, let me just look, I think the answer is no but...yeah let me double check that

[uncut trellis]

theres been some core updates in the new patch "previously had no problems" is unfortunately moot now that new patch is out, anything can happen

it sounds like some mod might be dabbling with things it should not if it overwrites shaders like that

[glass saddle]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/937198512150560808/944416088878383184/4601-noooooooo.gif

ok thank you for the information, I will look into my mods that might do things like thermals or things that might affect shaders (I could only make educated guesses though as to which) Thanks guys!

[uncut trellis]

do you really use all 390 mods at the same time?

[quaint jewel]

look for mods that have @modname/dta/bin.pbo
thats the only way to break this

The only mod I know about is my PBR shader mod

Mh I just wanted to update its description, only to find that I apparently already did that months ago

[glass saddle]

my usual halo set up

but literally I've just been loading mods since I started playing arma 3, and then if it does F up, I unload them etc. As it happens my WW2 set up (dare I call it 'set up' lmao) has 318, but still has the same problem, so it could be a long weekend for me doing trial and error

[quaint jewel]

open your arma folder and search for "dta" or "bin.pbo"

[glass saddle]

okie dokie one second

[quaint jewel]

there should only be one, and they shouldn't be in any mods

[glass saddle]

got it

want to see the files? (screenshot?)

here it is regardless

[quaint jewel]

yeah unload that mod

and tell the mod author that its broken

[glass saddle]

can I just delete it

[quaint jewel]

yes but steam would just redownload the files

[glass saddle]

😤 gotcha

thanks dedmen

and will do about telling the author

[glass saddle]

genuine thanks for this I would have literally gone through each mod I have until I figured it out, it's about 160th down the list of my 'saved as' presets lmao

[stiff marlin]

anyone get this issue?

well

i would send a screenshot but it doesn't work

[topaz field]

i got a qus is arma 3 memory eater or cpu?

[umbral narwhal]

single thread CPU but memory latency does matter.

[topaz field]

so whats the normal % for the cpu in arma ?

[umbral narwhal]

Depends how many cores you have.

1/n basically :P

[topaz field]

cuz this is what happening at the time

[umbral narwhal]

It pauses if you tab out in single player.

oh......

[mental radish]

My Arma 3 will not display an update to 2.10, but when I play, it cannot join a server because I need version 2.10, the arma launcher states I'm on 2.08.149102

[umbral narwhal]

Did you try restarting Steam?

[mental radish]

Yep

and verifying files

[steady hawk]

Are you sure you're not in legacy branch?

[mental radish]

I'm not in any betas

My beta is set to "None"

[umbral narwhal]

We've had issues with workshop mods where some people get served the old versions, as though steam's download servers are desynced.

[mental radish]

Its my game client, not a mod unfortunately

[umbral narwhal]

Yeah, probably same mechanics though.

Could try switching to a beta and back again, although I suspect it won't help.

[mental radish]

Damn, that's unfortunate

Is the resolution just time, then?

[umbral narwhal]

shrugs

I've only seen it happen once verifiably.

And we worked around it by republishing the mod.

I think all Steam's stuff gets restarted once a week.

[mental radish]

restarted steam, pc, verified files, switched to beta, switched back, opened steam offline, back online, logged out of steam, logged back in

there are no updates available for A3

I don't think there's anything else I can do

Please @ me if you think of anything, otherwise, I appreciate the assistance

[umbral narwhal]

restart your router and hope you get an IP that's assigned to a different cache server :P

Haha, even that I can't try

[worn jungle]

Hey,
Is this the right place to ask how to get a P drive created,
I have Windows 10 and OneDrive, I just get the error "cannot create P drive", is there any guide to solve this? I tried to find some answers for myself on Google, but I couldn't find any answers to this problem there.

[umbral narwhal]

subst likely needs to be run as admin.

[worn jungle]

Yeah, will try that again.
Will run steam, Arma and Arma tools admin. Maybe this solve my problem.
Thanks.

[umbral narwhal]

How exactly are you trying to create the P drive?

[worn jungle]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/P_drive#:~:text=Simply run the Arma 3,you have Arma 3 installed.

[umbral narwhal]

Apparently you're supposed to use WorkDrive instead.

[worn jungle]

Is there guide to do that?

[umbral narwhal]

Doesn't look like it.

[uncut trellis]

#arma3_terrain has pinned messages to terrain guides that start with p drive and tools setup

[worn jungle]

Could you help me with this here?

[worn jungle]

Thanks 🙏

I will check that out

[mental river]

actually you shouldn't run Steam or A3 Tools as admin

for whatever reason it ends up breaking P drive

[worn jungle]

Good to know

[outer otter]

how can i find that pbo? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/924043030783225937/1011885191981191240/unknown.png

[worn jungle]

Show hidden folders and search UPSL, if that is in !workshop folder in Arma 3 which is hidden folder

[outer otter]

haven't found anything

[heavy nest]

Heyo! I hope I can get a hint or answer here, Ive tried googling but couldnt get anything. I noticed that the server browser doesn't show me all the servers and now doesn't allow me to connect to some in the secondary profile I made. But if I switch to the main profile (the one that is created automatically upon booting the game) Shows more servers and allows me to connect to the servers I couldnt connect before. I don't know how that is a thing at all. I just don't want to play this using my IRL name as username.

[void fjord]

do you maybe have a filter active on your second profile in the server browser?

[heavy nest]

That's what I thought but apparently not. And it still didn't allow me to connect to a server I played in before. Could do it when switching to main profile tho

not sure as to what causes this error after i shoot the first round

[quaint jewel]

Search your arma folder for bin.pbo and you'll find the bad mod
There is one from basegame, but if you find a second one in a mod, thats it.

[reef jacinth]

so i keep getting forcefully exitted out of the game because it says:

what else does it say

[reef jacinth]

let me try to find the trouble shoot file

@quaint jewel

[quaint jewel]

it doesn't list a crash in there, do you have a .mdmp file?

[reef jacinth]

no i only have a rpt

[reef jacinth]

980m a 13 somthing screen a not good i7

im using a laptop

[ocean cosmos]

How much ram and gpu

[reef jacinth]

dunoo

dunno

[ocean cosmos]

Ok give me a few and I'll help you figure out how to find that

[reef jacinth]

ok

[ocean cosmos]

ok open task manager and click the performance tab

underneath the memory bit what does it say? should be X/something GB, something is how much ram you have

[reef jacinth]

@ocean cosmos

[ocean cosmos]

hm that looks fine so its probably not your specs

i used to have a similar issue when using a much lower spec laptop

[snow prairie]

Hello! does anyone know how to remove this circle in the middle of the screen? Prarie fire DLC. Im playing Mike force

[uncut trellis]

It's a bug introduced by the new update, fix is being worked on.

[snow prairie]

Ok, Thanks!

[patent kettle]

Try interacting with any sort of hold action to get rid of that. The medical ones to whitstand, respawn, carry should work.

If you have debug console available running this snippet will also hide the circle:

"vn_holdActionAdd_layer" cutText ["","PLAIN"]; 

[snow prairie]

Thank you very much! It worked

[uncut trellis]

your install is not complete or its corrupted

@fringe salmon

[quasi oracle]

trying to sign some mods i have made for my server, however once i sign them and upload them to it, i cant join, i know they key is correct, ect, yet i still cant join. anyone else had this issue before ?

[uncut trellis]

usually means key is not installed in right place on server and/or locally

[quasi oracle]

server is good, because multiple mods share the same key, and local mods also using the same private key signature work, just not all of them

totally baffling me

[umbral narwhal]

@quasi oracle Do the problem mods all work locally?

[stoic pilot]

I'm having an issue where anytime I try to join a game with mods (I have about 113 loaded, and 21 unloaded), it keeps telling me that I'm out of memory and it crashes. When I unload the mods, it works. Can anyone help? And I don't wanna hear your bullshit "Get more memory then lol" unless that is genuinely the only fix. I'm not in the mood for bullshit

[ocean cosmos]

unload so many mods and get more memory

[stoic pilot]

Yeah that's what I did

The issue is is that I have to unload a majority of what I actually use

So basically actually necessities are all I can have

[ocean cosmos]

ok then get more memory

[stoic pilot]

So like remove stamina, reduce weapon sway, that kinda stuff

[ocean cosmos]

those mods will be tiny for memory

[stoic pilot]

Well then Ig I gotta get more memory because those are the only ones I can have loaded :(

[uncut trellis]

you might have some sort of hardware issue then

how much RAM do you have?

and have you tried all the mods one by one in case one of them is just broken

[stoic pilot]

223 GB with 2.3 Gb left+1.81 Tb with 579 Gb left

Idfk how I'm out of memory

Also I haven't checked each mod separately because that would take me a couple hours

[uncut trellis]

this is disk space

RAM/memory is different thing

disk space is where files are stored

RAM is where programs/files are loaded into when you run them

[stoic pilot]

Ooohh

Honestly I never knew the difference between the 2 until now, so naturally that means I don't know how to check my RAM

[uncut trellis]

google will help.

[ocean cosmos]

easiest way is to open task manager, go to performance tab and round up your memory tab

it should say X/something GB, something is the amount of RAM you have when rounded up

[stoic pilot]

6.9/15.4 Gb

[ocean cosmos]

ok so chances are its a mod pushing you over the limit

[stoic pilot]

That'd make sense

I got a lot of large mods

[ocean cosmos]

unload half your mods, if it works then the issue is in the other half

[stoic pilot]

alright

[patent kettle]

Also make sure you've not disabled page file, even if you have free ram it can be used.

[simple moon]

Anyone know how to fix this

[ocean cosmos]

what vehicle map etc

[simple moon]

When ever I’m in a heli and go in thermal that happens

[quaint jewel]

Can you make me a mission file with vanilla that reproduces that?
I need the exact same camera and date/time/temperature

[ocean cosmos]

Found a visual issue too

(the walls)

stratis airbase, 6th july 2035, ~midday, takes a few minutes to appear like that

[ocean cosmos]

similarly happens at 12:03 in editor camera thermals too

[fringe salmon]

I would honestly try enabling simulation and seeing if they even leave the animation when they aren't disabled, they might stay in animation depending on settings.

Alternatively, there might be an AI mod at play here.

[slow light]

also can confirm its still inverted

[dawn karma]

my game just crashed because of this error, anyone can help me?

[waxen hawk]

Need help with TeamSpeak and TFAR… We’ve been using TFAR (Beta) on our TeamSpeak server for like 5 months without issue. All of a sudden last weekend the TFAR stopped working in the Server we can’t hear eachother in game even though our icons are lighting up blue and we can see peoples mouths moving but no talking (However, if we are in a helicopter and use the same intercom channel we can hear eachother, barely but can hear) we all hopped into the TeamSpeak public and made a quick channel and it worked just fine, so we assumed it just be the server itself. Which was wrong because when I ordered a new one it still didn’t work on that. Any ideas as to what the actual fork the issue could be?

[primal portal]

Anyone else been having issues with Zeus modules not working in multiplayer? Checking logs I get a '___ is not allowed to be remotely executed'

[steady hawk]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Remote_Execution
Probably your mission has restricted MP commands

Are the server/mission yours?

[primal portal]

Yes to both.

Use to not be like this either, idk if an update changed it.

[steady hawk]

Then check description.ext

[primal portal]

Its what its always been

//Author and Loadscreen information
author = "Jinx";
OnLoadName = "Training Grounds";
OnLoadMission = "Arma Futurus";

//Game Mode
class header 
{
    gametype = Coop;
    minplayers = 1;
    maxplayers = 6;
    playerCountMultipleOf = 1;
};

// Respawn and misc settings
respawnOnStart = 0;

// This disables the majority of channels for players to prevent easy metagaming of information.
disableChannels[] = {

    {6, true, true},    //--- System Chat
};

[steady hawk]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_CfgRemoteExec
Check this to allow every commands, see how it goes

[primal portal]

So if I'm understanding it correctly, adding to my description.ext

class CfgRemoteExec
{
    class Functions 
    {
        mode = 2;
        jip = 1;
    };
    class Commands
    {
        mode = 1;
    };
};

Would be the correct implementation?

[steady hawk]

Both modes should be 2 I think, I'm not that good with MP things

[primal portal]

Yeah I will try setting them both to 2, as my above example allows 'some' of the commands to work but others only half-work.

But the documentation is also perplexing as its saying mode 2 is the default.

So why is the server acting suddenly like its on mode 1 or 0?

Setting both modes to 2 rather than just the functions mode to 2 seems to have resolved the issue.

[heavy bear]

When Arma did a update yesterday, was there any changes to the strings, or getMarkerPos

[steady hawk]

Write what exactly you wonder

[heavy bear]

So, I am getting this error Error in expression <cle = createVehicle [(_vInfo select 2),(getMarkerPos _sp),[],0,"NONE"]; with this Error Type Number, expected String everything worked perfect before the update. Here the point of code _vehicle = createVehicle [(_vInfo select 2),(getMarkerPos _sp),[],0,"NONE"];

Nothing has changed, I guess I am just confused, on if any changes was made to strings, as my error is clearly pointing to that

[steady hawk]

Post the entire script

[steady hawk]

sqfbin please

[steady hawk]

Are you sure that it is the issue? Did you tried to replace the part getMarkerPos _sp to something else like [0,0,0]?

Or rather, did you make sure that getMarkerPos is working just like before or not?

[tribal condor]

Delete these right?

[heavy bear]

Yes, and it is, this issues happens let see if I can explain this correctly. Vic spawn on marker, when store the vic, and try to store it the second time, this is when the error comes up, and nothing happens

[steady hawk]

As Ded said remove ones from a Mod

\Arma 3\Dta\bin.pbo is not something to remove

[steady hawk]

Hmm I don't really see there's any flaw so far. Even though I don't understand the entire context of the script but itself doesn't seem that wrong

Just in case, productVersion returns what?

[quaint jewel]

The top one I think, check if it's in the folder of a mod

[cerulean canopy]

I am also experiencing this issue - I do not use air assets much yet in WL, but with my standard infantry loadout, using the ENVG-II and/or the Nightstalker optics for thermals, I get the same type of strobing colors: https://imgur.com/OuwZkBw this is normal view - it's fine; https://imgur.com/h3mfWWY this is normal night vision using ENVGII - again, no change; https://imgur.com/kBlmL1x when I try to use thermals, it strobes constantly and quickly - whites strobe to black, and visa-versa; https://imgur.com/heRh9D1 this is another capture mere seconds after the previous, to show how the blacks and whites change constantly; https://imgur.com/BihFe13 the nightstalker optic does the same thing - it has two different kinds of thermals where one is orange, and the other is red, but both do the same thing - the colored images and black images strobe back and forth constantly

[toxic inlet]

@simple moon @cerulean canopy It would really help to hear:
What map the issue occurs in
What the ambient temperature is
What time /date in game it is
Or even better if your able to make a mission with a stable repro😅

[cerulean canopy]

This is when I am playing Warlords on the US 01e server, which is always played on Altis. I have no way of discerning ambient temp. - perhaps you can help me with that. In the case of my above pictures it took place at nighttime game time, but this issue happens 24 hrs in-game. I am playing in Warlords which is a pre-made mission that loops in perpetuity. I have never made any missions and do not know yet how to. Perhaps you can also help there. Thanks!

[steady hawk]

You can make a mission in the Editor, which is really straightforward

[cerulean canopy]

If I were to make a mission in editor, and it performs differently than what I see in Warlords, would that actually help in coming up with a solution to my issue?

[steady hawk]

Of course. It is more better for reproducibility

[cerulean canopy]

But there are others who have already posted the same issue, NOT using my seat of Arma 3 and NOT using my PC. I am confused.....

[toxic inlet]

Right now we know the issue exists, however to be able to do anything about it we need to knowing the cause is.
If we have a way to reproduce the issue consistently this helps not only with trouble shooting but also the testing to make sure its gone.

Meanwhile i am trying to get the flashing myself, and thanks to you i now at least have a lead 👍

[cerulean canopy]

OK, I just went into my virtual arsenal, and loaded up the ENVG-II - the issue persists here: https://imgur.com/8zHCqc3

The lines of varying whites, blacks, and greys are strobing constantly....

[toxic inlet]

interesting i just saw a ticket on FT with a similar issue.
This is what it looks like for me on retail arma.
You also seem to have a strange texture on your glove.
Could you post your .rpt and check if you maybe have a update for your GPU?

[cerulean canopy]

I'm sorry I am noobish about a lot of terminology - what is a .rpt and how do I get it?

[simple moon]

It’s a report file

Pretty sure someone might have to correct me

[toxic inlet]

Yes its a file that gives us a bit more information about whats going on in game and on your pc.
Here is a list with all our report files and where to find them.
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Crash_Files

@simple moon @cerulean canopy Right now we only need the rtp.
If you both could post the file that matches the time and date of the session where you had the issue we can have a look.

[simple moon]

Alright no problem

[cerulean canopy]

OK, so I've gone into Editer and equipped my unit with both the ENVG-II and the Nightstalker scope. So I go into the Editor Log FOlder, and copy the most recent .rpt file and post it here?

[toxic inlet]

It should just be in "%localappdata%\Arma 3"

[cerulean canopy]

Mine is in App Data / Local / Arma 3

OK how or where do I post or send a copy of the .rpt file?

[toxic inlet]

think you can drop it in here otherwise https://feedback.bistudio.com is a good place

[quaint jewel]

I assume the strobing and that weird effect is both the same issue
Something is very wrong with the shaders there. Maybe also let steam verify files in case they got corrupted, but that shouldn't be possible 🤔

[cerulean canopy]

I'm sorry I'm a bit noobish I need more instruction than this. I can open the file in notepad, but it's rather large. Do I make some image files of the notepad file, and post them here?

[quaint jewel]

Drag&drop the file from the folder, into discord here

Re-verified files to make sure anything that wasn’t supposed to be deleted was back too

[fringe salmon]

anyone know why I have a dashed circle in the middle of my screen? The situation was that I had my SOG Prairie Fire Mike Force mods active, and then I quit the game, and came back in with just the plain Mike Force mod loaded with SOG PF DLC... Now, no matter what I do, whether I load into the plain vanilla game, or the SOG PF, or SOG PF with Mike Force... I have this dashed circle in the middle of my screen, that looks like a bombing reticle or something. I tried verifying integrity of game files, but that didn't work either. Turning it off and on again didn't work. Windows is updated... not sure what's going on.

[toxic inlet]

#arma3_troubleshooting message
Veteran29 gave a possible temporary fix here. A later hotfix should fix the issue completely

[errant gulch]

After the last update not only my game stops working, but entire steam crashes. I am running mods so I will try to narrow it down, however if anyone has had similar experience have you figured out which mod causes it?

[quaint jewel]

Maybe there are more, or it was restored right after you removed it? That file has to be it

Hey has anyone had a problem with “server not responding” when you try to join a friend’s private server from steam overlay?

I am disabling mods in batches and narrowing down on what is causing it

Hi, I got an infinite loading problem, I host for a friend 2 to 3 arma 3 servers, recently we wanted to migrate them both to a more powerful server. But they seem to not working, they appear in the server list, but if I want to join them, I stuck in the loading screen. So I decided to start from scratch and reinstalled ubuntu server and added the dependencies for a vanilla arma 3 server, but the problem still occur. Here are my server logs, does someone have an idea?

I think I found one under a mod I have called DCS terrain packs, went ahead and yeeted it and gonna see how it goes

[tribal condor]

Yup that was it, seemed to have came back when I re-verified the files. Thanks man, I really appreciate the help, couldn’t find anything online at all

I think I figured out, it was S & S mod

i got arma 3 yesterday, I don't have any mods but i can't load up the game, it crashes at the loading addons startup

[umbral narwhal]

steam verify. Download probably broke.

[fringe salmon]

doesn't work, i tried it already, perhaps i should re-download?

[umbral narwhal]

That's probably your only option.

Game file verify means it redownloads the files it finds to be broken, that usually is enough. Check the rpt log for clues perhaps
