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.

[quaint jewel]

There are no crash reports in there, only RPT's and none of them have crashlogs inside them, some have freeze logs though, but there are also no freeze dumps

[golden nova]

I open arma through steam, no bueno. Restarting Arma, Steam or whole PC does not help

[errant gulch]

Sorry, but anyway I think I figured the issue. It was mainly to do with newest amd update and pc fucking itself up graphically. All good now

[quaint jewel]

Does it crash as you say, or does it freeze or get stuck (which would not be a crash)
As you sent a screenshot of the loading splash screen, if it really crashed I'd expect a screenshot of a crash message

[fringe salmon]

Crash

[uncut trellis]

Is there a crash message?

[fringe salmon]

Yeah 0x0000dead

[quaint jewel]

Dead means it showed you a error message before it killed itself

what did the error say

[fringe salmon]

Cyclic reduancy check

[quaint jewel]

verify game files, verify windows files, sfc /scannow in cmd
some files are corrupted

Anyone having issues with heli spawning in 2.10 then landing(or more likely smashing into the ground)

I was testing it tonight. Helis are spawned normally with "FLY" setting.

They then have a "GETOUT" waypoint. Place in the clip linked below has two helipad for them to land at but the helipads being full or empty didn't seem to make any difference to them. They were still smashing into the ground after spawning in.

I ended up fixing it by adding 100 m/s vertical speed to them on spawn in. Then they would be high enough to come in for a normal landing.(10, 20 and 50 m/s vertical wasn't enough)

I have no idea if this is a specific issue to warlords redux in this patch or a actual arma issue.

Here is a 60 second clip from the warlords channel but the livestream that clip is taken from has about 2 hours of helis just face planting in various areas of altis.

each time they seem to fly roughly the same flight path down towards the ground and pull up. they hit the ground around half the time(the huron)

#warlords_discussion message

[quaint jewel]

So their first waypoint is getout?

We fixed a bug where AI units helicopter would bounce back up when they do a getout. so this sounds.. related

[dusky copper]

yes first waypoint is getout.

I tried setting first waypoint to MOVE, and second waypoint to GETOUT but since they spawn inside completion radius they were just going right to GETOUT waypoint.

The bounce fix works great!

I tested it 100s of times tonight 🙂 in fact I was testing with hurons because they had the worst bounce of all the helis.

[quaint jewel]

but if they now ram into the ground and kill themselves, the bounce fix is working a bit too great

[umbral narwhal]

Is this specific to GET OUT? Any bouncing on TR UNLOAD would be unrelated?

[quaint jewel]

👋
Heyho, I don't have a intel integrated graphics available that causes this issue.
Can you help us by testing a possible fix and checking if it works for you?

[mental river]

I do. But I'm not home

[quaint jewel]

are you home over the weekend?

[mental river]

Yeah

[quaint jewel]

oki I'll send you DM

[mental river]

Does GPU model matter?

[quaint jewel]

I don't know

[mental river]

Or driver

[quaint jewel]

so far we just have 3 reports of flickering with intel integrated graphics, I assume its all of them

[mental river]

Ok. I'll test before and after the update

[reef jacinth]

how does one solve the problem of "STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION

i keep having it

it crashes my game always and shows this

[umbral narwhal]

That's a generic crash. What matters is exactly when it happens.

[reef jacinth]

idk

it happens randomly

[umbral narwhal]

After how long, on average?

[reef jacinth]

i suppose like 3m-1h

but average is like 30m

[umbral narwhal]

Are you doing any overclocking?

[reef jacinth]

?

overclocking?

[umbral narwhal]

Running CPU, GPU or RAM beyond default speed settings.

[reef jacinth]

idk

any way to check?

[umbral narwhal]

Not easily no. Generally people know if they're overclocking.

[fringe canopy]

Hello everyone. I need help. Helicopters driven by AI can't land

Instead of going down or forward the helicopter only goes up... Has this problem ever happened to you?

[umbral narwhal]

oh, laptop

[reef jacinth]

yes

[umbral narwhal]

Does anything else ever crash or just Arma?

[reef jacinth]

just arma

[umbral narwhal]

Do a steam verfiy and try running without mods.

If you still get crashes after that then dedmen may want your crash logs.

[uncut trellis]

Which statuss access violation? The number can tell what the issue is

[reef jacinth]

think its 0xC0000005 @uncut trellis

[uncut trellis]

Check wiki page for that there's few things you can do

[reef jacinth]

what does it mean by change and how

[uncut trellis]

It's an option in the launcher

[reef jacinth]

where

[uncut trellis]

google probably could have told you too

[coral perch]

Anyone here good with servers? Im trying to solve an issue ive been having for years and just been working around. IN short i cant load a mission with modded assets on a dedicated server, however i can spawn them with zues and the server is okay with it. I have verified mod install to the best of my ability

[reef jacinth]

it just crashes my game after i turned it into the system thing

like when i open it, it crashes

ok nvm even without anything on the Memory Allocater thing it still fucks it

[uncut trellis]

yeah then you can try some of the other possible solutions

some different one might work for you

[mental river]

it could be due to a faulty mod

vanilla one works?

[reef jacinth]

i uninstalled all mods

[odd bridge]

Verified my files and Updated drives.

[simple moon]

Can do yeah

[fathom flame]

access violations (bad_module_info error) been a bother for a couple of days after a fresh install of arma, reinstalled and disabled fs optimizations as well as removing game mode and all the other nonsense, not sure if the game is stable though. Any mitigations helpful in case it still errors out.
Also there is a memory leak but I doubt that has anything to do with the issue since both the frame buffer and the system memory are not full at the times of crashing, seems to be a purebred software issue.
Thoughts?
Running vanilla, game runs for an undetermined amount of time and always produces the same error, hardware is fine and more than capable of running the game, no wacky software running in the background

[fringe salmon]

Okay, I’m having an issue on (modded) arma where whenever me (or other players) join a server, if the weapon is switched it’ll glitch out and continously switch between weapons. When the main rifle switches to a pistol, the rifle is placed on a “ground” area designated in the empty category when viewed with Zeus. If this “ground” item is deleted, then the player will then pull out an imaginary rifle named “rifle” with no model.

Does anyone know what mod causes this?

[slow comet]

iirc that's an issue with the GGE weapon swap/tactical weapon swap mod. I remember having a similar bug with one of them.

[fringe salmon]

See, I’ve installed GGE WS but the issue with the “ground” item has happened before my installation of it.

[ocean cosmos]

Uninstall it and unload any mods which have its pbos contained

[errant gulch]

@quaint jewel I am having the crashing issue again, here is the error I get https://i.ibb.co/WG48rXk/Capture.jpg

[steady hawk]

Do you run your game in x84 or x64? How many RAMs you have?

And what situation?

[errant gulch]

I have 16GB, and I run x64

I recently updated my AMD drivers, started happening only after that

[steady hawk]

Well, what mission? Is that a mission too much for the computer?

[errant gulch]

I crashed when I was in Eden editing a loadout

never used to happen before

[steady hawk]

Hmm 🤔

[errant gulch]

I will try reverting amd graphics update, we will see if thats the issue

[errant gulch]

Just finished reverting back to 2.10.2 version of AMD graphics and still same issue. Game either runs a bit and than gives the dx11 out of memory error or just freezes immediatly in main menu (I played with this mod pack for a while now, even before these issues, it shouldnt be it?)
https://i.ibb.co/L1qHkJ7/Screenshot-541.png

[steady hawk]

A Mod can break any part of it with any update. So you should to test with vanilla environment

Or, let's say, if you want to compare how it was, you can revert the update to 2.08

[fringe salmon]

How would I go about doing that?

[ocean cosmos]

look through files of all loaded mods and check if they share any woth ggews

...or just search for the files in the !Workshop folder

[fringe salmon]

Gotcha

[hushed pond]

Anyone else getting this persistent circle in mike force?

[restive sequoia]

it's a known bug yea

[hushed pond]

fack

thanks for the quick answer tho!

In general, my problem is quite strange, when pointing through binoculars or optical sights, the vegetation model changes from 3D to 2D.

[stark sorrel]

i got this issue where my effects audio becomes super low after ejecting from a vehicle

is there a fix?

its super annoying when it happens mid ops

the volume in the esc menu is still normal its just everything that happens ingame that gets super low

[rotund nova]

Hey, for some reason I can no longer see grass in Arma.

Top photo is my view,
Bottom view is my friends

[wanton bay]

why do i crash every time my Bluetooth headphones run out of battery

[patent kettle]

this is "normal", LODing is pretty shit in A3 sadly.

[void fjord]

running in windowed mode could fix it

many games actually have the games crash when headset cable gets plugged out or bluetooth headset runs out

its a fullscreen thing I think tho

an obvious workaround is keeping the headphones charged lmao

[wanton bay]

oh well

if i put it in windowed mode my pc would burn

[rotund nova]

Any idea about this?

[uncut trellis]

could be yuo have put on some mod that disables it

[rotund nova]

I don’t think any of my mods have disabled Grass

[void fjord]

did you check your video settings

if not then i would just test it by using the same video settings as your friend

[stark sorrel]

thoughts?

[void fjord]

did you already verify integrity of game files?

[rotund nova]

My graphics are set higher

[stark sorrel]

yes

been having this issue for about a year now

[uncut trellis]

with and without mods? @stark sorrel

[stark sorrel]

with ace

i was looking through some of the game settings for ace and there is one where you can disable lower volume in vehicle

could it have something to do with that?

[uncut trellis]

very possible

usually when game behaves oddly and mods are used, the reason is mods

[tardy gust]

OK

[humble wigeon]

Im hosting a server for me and my mate but for some reason we cant lock onto anything with missiles

We were using using the same modpack a few days back and we had no issues

All of a sudden this is now happeni g

[uncut trellis]

Maybe some mod you have broke

[humble wigeon]

How does it just break like that

[uncut trellis]

Try without the mods if that works normally

Mods can have bugs in them

[humble wigeon]

no dice

just tried it and nada

and i mentioned before how we were using the exact same mods a day ago with no issues

im just going to verify files and pray

[silk briar]

does anyone know why my left windows button doesnt work in Arma 3? i dont have a "gaming mode"

[uncut trellis]

Does not work as in does not tab you out of the game?

If yes, alt tabbing usually hangs Arma in fullscreen mode so it's disabled.

[silk briar]

no i cant use it as a key in arma

[uncut trellis]

Then no idea

[umbral narwhal]

@humble wigeon This is possible with broken fog values.

You can set up fog values such that you can see perfectly but missiles won't lock. IIRC dragging all the fog sliders to minimum does it.

(second and third sliders should be in the middle by default)

[humble wigeon]

I see

Cheers

[umbral narwhal]

We actually put a force-reset into Antistasi Community saves because people were breaking it so often in Zeus :P

@floral windDo it here. Not my DM

[floral wind]

k

i have the porloblem

[steady hawk]

the server is unable to transmit all data; the list of mods you risk could be incomplete
But i intsall all the mods need

Yes, that's what comes out of me and I can't understand it

[steady hawk]

Even if you don't understand, you'll need to describe what's wrong precisely

[floral wind]

It doesn't let me into the server even though I have everything I need

[cerulean canopy]

Man, this thermal issue has killed my ability to play Arma 3 anymore. Most other players are not experiencing this issue, so its like I'm playing with a bunch of game hackers, who can use thermals against me, but I cant use it against them. I'm now shut down to just playing single player campaigns over and over now.....

[quaint jewel]

Send me a crashdump and i can look why its crashing

[uncut trellis]

What thermal issue

[quaint jewel]

can you send me your RPT and a video of it?

[toxic valve]

Thermal Issue ? I am happy with it , more Balance now not more so op

[vague smelt]

I think the problem is for all users who plays arma3 with low graphics settings

I will send you a video

for one screen it required more than one minute for arma to complete updating pixels for heat

[quaint jewel]

That doesn't match the reports so far, reports showed its all intel iGPU's, no matter the graphics settings.
The adjustment is done between frames, how fast it adjusts depends on your fps (should probably change that to be time though)

[vague smelt]

I sent you the best thermal view I had inside a vehicle

[quaint jewel]

I set my graphics settings to low on my nvidia gpu and cannot reproduce it.
But my laptop has flicker on ultra settings (but only when running on the intel gpu, not when running on its nvidia gpu)

Your video doesn't show any flickering

[vague smelt]

for infantry , with low FPS updating these pixels while moving it's very confusing

[quaint jewel]

You are using a old GPU that doesn't support newer shaders, your game is falling back to a old-shader variant with less visual quality and worse contrast adjustment

I had the choice between giving everyone a bad experience, or giving people with graphics cards that were made in the last decade a way better experience and leaving a fallback for people with very old GPU's.
You got that fallback, that in your video is working as designed

[vague smelt]

great to know

thank you

[quaint jewel]

I think every GPU that supports DirectX 11 should get the new stuff (starting at about late 2009), if its only a DirectX 10 card it won't

[cerulean canopy]

This has already been discussed and posted here at length. I already posted the .rpt file. My PC is a brand new PC with Windows 11 that I got last December - the thermals optics were working perfectly fine until a week or so ago, then I saw everyone talking about a update to the game and now thermals don't work anymore for some, and I logged on and sure enough they no longer work for me. But they were totally fine for me for over 1,000 hours of play on Warlords until last week.....

[quaint jewel]

Ah right, found the RPT.
So yeah its intel graphics, its being worked on

[cerulean canopy]

So I don't understand how it worked for over 1,000 hrs with intel graphics / Arma 3 does an update to the game / now it doesn't work anymore = "it's intel graphics"......that is strange math to my eyes......

[quaint jewel]

Well we did some change that works fine everywhere, except on intel integrated graphics
Haven't yet found out what change

[waxen salmon]

Can anyone tell me why after arma loads it constantly starts/stops a download?

[uncut trellis]

have you lot of mods? have you lot of compositions?

[waxen salmon]

Yes and yes

[uncut trellis]

if i remember right the compositions can cause that

[vagrant prairie]

Hello, so basically i have problem with TFAR in arma 3, it shows up in opera file type instead of ts3, using windows 11

anyone know how to fix it? reinstall ts3 and multiple download TFAR doesnt work

[uncut trellis]

you should be able to import it from TS

[umbral narwhal]

Right click -> open with is probably the easiest way.

I don't think TS has an import button, oddly enough.

[gaunt ridge]

Good evening.
Is there a place where you can see a list of which composition arma tries to load from steam workshop?
I'm getting an error that arma can't load composition 2263585038 when I open eden editor, but I can't find it on steam and unsub from it.

[uncut trellis]

it likely means the composition has been removed from workshop

[gaunt ridge]

Yeah, thats my guess also. But arma keeps trying to load it when I start up eden.
I tried to verify files, but that did not fix the issue.

[copper mica]

is there awareness about the servers reporting IP addresses in reverse/reciprocal? eg 1.2.3.4 and reporting 4.3.2.1 in console/rcon/bm?

[umbral narwhal]

IIRC it's a battleye bug that they allegedly fixed ages ago but haven't updated yet.

[copper mica]

its broke the server i help admin. its reporting the IP's back to battlemetrics and now BM thinks people are in the wrong countries and wrong IP owner info, meaning no country filter, no VPN filters, and some anti-cheating filters had to be disabled for people to rejoin. it's really hurt our player base for sure.

[copper mica]

If BI is reading, we could really use some help. we're in the top 30 servers depending which website you check. this opens us up for cheaters/hackers and its a huge turn off for our regulars.

I'm not here to demand action, I just wanted to put it out there in case it's being played down as not important. we have had ~67 tickets from players about not being able to connect or intermittent connectivity since the 2.10 update. I've talked to other top servers admins and they're all affected as well.

[uncut trellis]

You may need to report to battleye

[quaint jewel]

BattlEye already knows, they also know we need the fix to be released. its going as fast as it goes

[uncut trellis]

👌👍

[paper mural]

Hello, My friend need help, he can't get into multiplayer, what can be done in this situation?

[copper mica]

sweet. i also sent them a paragraph about it as well. thanks for the response.

[uncut trellis]

what exactly does that mean?

[spring canopy]

Zeus isn't working in my server. I've tried steam id's and zeus slot

[uncut trellis]

try some vanilla zeus mission

[fathom canopy]

I'm having trouble getting the addon builder exclude list working. when I set it, it seems to bee ignored and reset to default.

[uncut trellis]

I'd recommend pboproject

[umbral narwhal]

@fathom canopy Have you tried using it from the command line?

[fathom canopy]

nope, will try...

[fathom canopy]

do u have to wrap paths to quotes for the addon builder?

[fathom canopy]

seems so...

[pine kite]

If there are spaces in the names, yes. Always encapsulate the name.

[fathom canopy]

looks like i got it working but no DLLs packed inside the .pbo?

guess that doesnt go inside pbo

[umbral narwhal]

I'm not sure when you'd ever want a DLL inside a PBO?

[fathom canopy]

yeah realizing that now 😄

[pine kite]

I used a mod for playing webstream radio channels in the game. I think that used a DLL of some sort.

[umbral narwhal]

yeah, they're parked in the mod's root folder though, not in the addon pbos.

[pine kite]

Indeed, it was in the root

[fathom canopy]

yea I see it now

thx

[fringe salmon]

Yo

how do I fix this battleye lag issue

it drops to 5 fps when I have it on

can't play any MP servers

[void fjord]

everytime I play a scenario or campaign it just doesnt save after I restart the game any fixes?

[mental river]

you mean your save files are gone?
my guess is that oneDrive is screwing you over (if you use it)
or you don't have permission to write to the Documents folder

[void fjord]

weirdly it has kicked me after I tried to load a mission and it said "You cannot play/edit this mission it is dependent on content that you have deleted. (extended_eventhandlers) even tho I changed absolutely nothing

and nah I dont use onedrive

only an arma problem

[mental river]

that means you had loaded CBA before

[void fjord]

nah I hadnt

I played then saved went to the main menu tried to load the save then the error appeared

[pearl sorrel]

And yet, as Leopard points out, you will of had CBA loaded; Extended Event handlers come from CBA

[royal vault]

Any idea why I can join every type of servers apart from KOTH servers? I join and the role selection is blank then get random errors like invalid .pbo files, or singanture check failed

[slow comet]

my guess would be that you're trying to join a modded KOTH server, look for a vanilla one

[void fjord]

I still had it loaded I didn’t even unload it bro

[quaint jewel]

Just confirmed it, the change causes the helicopter to do a gear retracted dive to ground before the landing target, then it shoots back up, and lands properly.
On flat ground this is fine, on hilly ground and treecover not so much. Will fix for hotfix, also @patent kettle

[neat kraken]

Hello,im getting really low fps with an rtx 2060,everything is setted for the best performance but its like the fps fraze and return in one sec

My specs:

[steady hawk]

Best performance? What does it mean?

[neat kraken]

Its the only game where i get this problem

[neat kraken]

I followed a tut on youtube to get more fps

[steady hawk]

Guess that's abummer then

IDK what you've done but I wouldn't believe the tutorial

[neat kraken]

I followed many

And they all are the same

[steady hawk]

Do you install Arma 3 into SSD or HDD?

[neat kraken]

Hdd

[steady hawk]

That's probably why

[neat kraken]

Really?

Okk

[steady hawk]

I don't say it is

Probably

[neat kraken]

Ill try later

[steady hawk]

Also, what video settings so far?

[neat kraken]

Thanks

[neat kraken]

I tried autodetect

[steady hawk]

Hm that's fine then

[neat kraken]

I tried rven putting everythibg on low

Same problem

Oh

Well

[steady hawk]

Low makes it worse

[neat kraken]

Ill try install it on ssd

Thanks

[uncut trellis]

What is really low fps?

And in MP or SP? And with or without mods?

@neat kraken

[neat kraken]

Without and sp

[uncut trellis]

And how much is low fps?

[royal vault]

Nope, I'm joining servers that say they have no mods. So far its just KOTH servers and then 77th JSOC's Invade and Annex servers not working. I join, the role selection screen is completely empty and I just click "Okay" and the mission file is 0kb/0kb

No idea why I can't join these specific gamemodes but then can join and play all Official Servers and Altis Life Servers

Anyone have any idea why my game is doing this?

[quaint apex]

dose anyone know how to fix arma 3's save file?

i can't load my save file

[quaint jewel]

you last played before the update?

(Dang I really wanted to make that web tool, NOW it would be handy but I didn't make it yet, and if I make it now it won't be handy anymore until next update ahh)

[quaint apex]

I played arma 3 before the 2.10 update came. Why?

is it a bug?

[patent kettle]

huh? Lou made it didn't he?

https://save.arma3.io/

[quaint jewel]

oooooh

My brain is bad

[patent kettle]

arma3.io is even your domain? Isn't it? 😄

[quaint jewel]

:blobnobully:

[patent kettle]

you need more free time.

And not spend it on Arma.

[quaint jewel]

The savegame contains the game version.
Usually game updates break savegame loading, because they add new things to save.
its intentional, but you can use the tool linked above, to "upgrade" your savegame and it might work if there are no new things to save that would probably crash the game when you try to load it

[quaint apex]

the question is: how can i find the savegame in the file explorer?

[quaint jewel]

My documents/Arma 3/Saved
and then depends what mission it is

[quaint apex]

is this what im looking for?

[patent kettle]

no

what mission are you looking to fix?

save files have *.Arma3Save extension

[tall palm]

Also 2.08 is still accessible on steam, in case you need it

[jolly tiger]

Why does it take some many shots to kill ai. I put 17 rounds of 9mm in a ais head point blank and they still didn’t die

[uncut trellis]

mods?

what kind of AI/what gear did it have?

[jolly tiger]

Dont have a mods that I think would modify there health or gear and it’s csat pacific and they have a light helmet

[uncut trellis]

try without mods anyway

some might do unexpected things

or just break stuff

[jolly tiger]

Ok will try that out

[umbral narwhal]

Which CSAT helmet exactly?

[uncut trellis]

most of the time if mods are involved, mods are reason for weird stuff happening

[umbral narwhal]

some of them are pretty strong.

Although vanilla damage stacks so 17 rounds should always kill.

It's more of an issue with ACE because the wounds don't stack.

But then you said you weren't running mods :P

[uncut trellis]

he runs mods, just maybe not ones that would be issue

buuut usually the issue is mods

[pine kite]

Check the top pinned message in #arma3_questions by Dedmen. Need to Hexedit the save file.

[vestal sleet]

Hey there! So I'm having a weird bug were nightvision on Arma 3 using ACE only works on Stratis, no other map. When I use any other map, night vision only goes black, I can still see lights but no illumination. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[mental river]

vanilla works fine?

[vestal sleet]

If I unload ACE (the main mod) it does

[mental river]

do you only use ACE?

no other mod? (besides CBA)

[fringe salmon]

Guys

[vestal sleet]

No I do have quite a lot mods but I single it out to ACE. I had to go through all the mods lol

[fringe salmon]

@mental river I think I know you man

you're that guy developing the AI mod, right?

[mental river]

yes

[mental river]

only load CBA and ACE and see if it still happens

[fringe salmon]

I still have a massive problem

something that prevents me from playing any multiplayer game, it's something with battleye

I suspect BE enabled Arma refuses to use resources or something

[uncut trellis]

do you get any error messages? or how does "prevent me from playing" manifest?

[fringe salmon]

no messages at all

no errors or anything

[uncut trellis]

but something happens? or doesnt

[vestal sleet]

So I just tried. Stratis worked but Malden didn't. I'm getting the same black screen

[fringe salmon]

that's the strangest part probably, everything runs seemingly as it should, except I get literally 6 fps

[uncut trellis]

got mods?

[fringe salmon]

nah, it lags on official servers too

cant do anything

[mental river]

then perhaps it got broken by the latest update. check their github repository. it could be a known issue. otherwise report the problem to them

[fringe salmon]

I tried everything by the way

I tried every performance boost guide on YouTube, I reinstalled BE, reinstalled Arma too once

[vestal sleet]

Got it. Thank you! 🙏

[uncut trellis]

just to make sure, you have tried opening the launcher, joining one of BI official servers through the launchers server browser?

[fringe salmon]

Yes

lags like shit and the PC doesn't get hot at all

like

How do I say this

[uncut trellis]

what kind of ping do you have on the official servers?

[fringe salmon]

when I play single player without BE, the PC is hot, good frames etc etc, when BE is on, it doesn't get hot

[uncut trellis]

BE is anti cheat software

[fringe salmon]

it doesn't use any resources at all I think, pc isn't even warm, it's cold like I'm not running Arma at all

[uncut trellis]

I assume you have a laptop?

[fringe salmon]

no, desktop

[uncut trellis]

usually people dont mention machine warmth on desktops 😅

but alright

does your motherboard have integrated GPU?

[fringe salmon]

I don't think so

my GPU is 2060

CPU is i5-10400F

16 gb ram

[fringe salmon]

Warmth is my only clue as to what's going on here

[uncut trellis]

what you could do is start game from laucnher into MP, get screenshot of the server you join in the server menu and link that here. Then be in game for a bit, join and so on. then quit and get the latest RPT log and link that 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.

[fringe salmon]

Can't do that now

[uncut trellis]

well sometime later is fine too

[fringe salmon]

maybe you've heard of an issue with this game not using resources properly?

[uncut trellis]

nope

[fringe salmon]

yeah, well, somehow BE manages to do that

[uncut trellis]

but issue debug starts from the RPT logs

so refer to this message when you post the info

[fringe salmon]

actually wait

I think I have one somewhere from my previous attempt to fix this

[uncut trellis]

a recent/latest one would be best

[fringe salmon]

it's from 2 months ago but I think it should be fine still

[uncut trellis]

emm

well it can be looked at but its not really good

[fringe salmon]

https://sqfbin.com/urihefozamucexibibuy

[uncut trellis]

if you cant start the game now, you can post a new one when you can

well this can be used as comparison when you post new one

[fringe salmon]

I will try

[uncut trellis]

also Id recommend cealing all the custom launch parameters just in case

skipintro and nosplash are fine

[fringe salmon]

https://sqfbin.com/unubafugehetosedehus

[uncut trellis]

Alright lets hope someone else can take a look too to see if they see something odd.

Also what was the ping on the server?

[stoic anchor]

does anyone know what this is/how to fix it?

[uncut trellis]

you seem to be running SOGPF ACE compatibility mod but nod SOGPF dlc

[stoic anchor]

Oh gotcha

[split quarry]

Does anyone know how to fix the aim down sights? My autosave saved the game whilst I was aiming down and now the aim down sights on right button is reversed

[quaint apex]

am i fucked with my arma 3 old man save?

it says "incompatible version"

[steady hawk]

Because the game's updated

[quaint jewel]

Ah old man, well you didn't say yesterday what mission you wanted

[steady hawk]

#old_man_scenario , pinned for possible solution

[quaint jewel]

That doesn't support 2.10 yet, am fixing now

[steady hawk]

Mhm-hm

Can we do it with a binary editor till the fix's here?

[quaint jewel]

I just did

[steady hawk]

The fix you mean?

[quaint jewel]

yes

[steady hawk]

Gud

[steady hawk]

Aaand, didn't you get the exact answer yesterday?

[quaint jewel]

You old man save file is in
My Documents/Arma 3/Saved/A3/Missions_F_Oldman/Campaign/Missions/Oldman.Tanoa
There should be a continue.Arma3Save

make a copy of it as a back up.
Go to https://save.arma3.io/ and drag&drop your save file in there
select version 2.10, and convert and download
now you have a new save file that should be loadable, put it back into the save folder, and then try to run the game and load it.
It may work, it may not work, need to try it out

[quaint apex]

its too large

[quaint jewel]

but I just updated that limit to 500MB

try SHIFT+F5 to reload the page

then it should be fine

@ Lou why is that limit there?

[steady hawk]

I don't even think it is related to the game but the mission

[uncut trellis]

it "always" is..

[burnt imp]

Load the game. Get out of ADS. Save the game. Close the game. Load the game.

[tardy gust]

how do i delete scenerios in the editor

and move a scenario to diffrent folder

[mental river]

using the delete key

[mental river]

go to Documents\Arma 3\missions

then find the mission folder and move it

[tardy gust]

in files ? or is there way i can delete while using arma program while runnign

im not good at navigating throuhjt my files

[mental river]

as I said, to delete just use the delete key

that was for moving

[fossil silo]

Hey fellow Arma hosts. Has anyone ever had an issue to where Task Force Radio (or Acre) stopped working? I can't seem to get either of the mods to work with my server anymore? it's a GTXGAMING server, and the mod literally worked a week ago.

[orchid shore]

no dlcs no addons and can't access the maps they're all locked behind the purchase button

how can i fix it?

[burnt imp]

!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.

[orchid shore]

i tried verifying the integrity didn't work

but i restarted my pc and everything back to normal

thank you so much!

[open fable]

I'm having an issue with verifying signatures for mods with a dedicated server. I've verified both dedicated server and client are running the same exact mods, same exact signature files, and i'm still getting signature mismatch

i even reduced the amount of mods down to only two, just to make sure it wasn't an overflow error

[pine kite]

Can it be you have old or multiple key files on the server? So it picks up the wrong one.

[open fable]

i think i figured it out. Let you all know soon

[fringe salmon]

arma 3 data acquisition failed, whats the problem?

[umbral narwhal]

Units? Server just has the lowest uptime on the modern internet.

[fringe salmon]

well now my screen freezes whenever i try to join any server

like a infinite loading screen

[haughty onyx]

i understand this isnt 100 percent an arma issue but i havent found anything anywhere that has helped to fix the issue with no one able to connect to a teamspeak server that i have got port forwarded i have gone around asking other communities for help and nothing seems to work iwas hoping someone here might have the solution i can vc and screen share to further explain the issue but on a basic level. i have everything portforwarded correctly and have a server running in the past working fine however all of a sudden everything mess up we tried an ip change a portforward change and uninstalling the server and restarting from fresh and nothing fixed the issue

[unreal jacinth]

Why won't RHS show up in the Zeus menu. I have unofficial add-ons enabled in the Zeus module and have the mod loaded

This is for a ded server and I have the mod loaded on that as well

[void fjord]

do vanilla units show up?

if not then wrong zeus configuration

[unreal jacinth]

vanilia show up

[unreal jacinth]

The vanilla units show up, what do you mean wrong configuration

[void fjord]

setting up zeus I mean

but if vanilla units show up it should work

[unreal jacinth]

Well they aren't lol

[void fjord]

do you use mcc?

[unreal jacinth]

Nope

[unreal jacinth]

good old fashion zeus module

My mate’s been getting these for thermals for some reason
Anyone know why?

[steady hawk]

What GPU you have?

[humble wigeon]

Lemme ask him

[steady hawk]

Oh your mate not you

[humble wigeon]

Yeah, for me thermals are fine, but i have a pretty beefy pc
3060 and the bells and whistles

[steady hawk]

Because yeah, I heard this issue is related to the Intel's integrated GPU

[humble wigeon]

💀

Thats just what he told me he had

Rip

[steady hawk]

Then check #perf_prof_branch , it should be compatible with regular 2.10

Why when i go to battle almost everytime some players body start floating and my screen becomes very laggy?

once i go to battle

[tired leaf]

   drawLine3d _x; 
  } forEach lines;

this is the end of my log file

in order to close it down i need to windows tab and close it via task manager

is there any way to prevent it from freezing up like that?

[fathom canopy]

just a guess but maybe its due to script error in onEachFrame that causes the freeze

[tired leaf]

i fixed the oneachframe to not have any errors before leaving

[fathom canopy]

ok

still eachframe stuff is the kind of thing that can cause freezes if the code is too heavy.. or buggy

[tired leaf]

i guess i'll try stopping eachframe stuff then before leaving

[fathom canopy]

make sure there isnt EachFrame also added by addmissioneventhandler

[tired leaf]

not in one of my scripts, if anything it would be there due to CBA_A3

[fathom canopy]

well i doubt there is such bug in CBA....

[tired leaf]

same

[mental river]

That's due to draw 3ds accumulating

The game doesn't instantly draw something when you ask

It records them

Then passes them all to the GPU when the renderer is working

[tired leaf]

shouldn't it clear them after each frame?

[mental river]

No

When you alt+tab the renderer does no work

[tired leaf]

oh

[mental river]

So it never clears the array

[tired leaf]

oh my god

why

[mental river]

Because RAM to GPU transfer is very slow

Or in general making GPU calls

[tired leaf]

so is there a way to have drawline3ds without tabbing out causing your game to slowly crash?

[mental river]

Check for isGameFocused

If not don't draw

[tired leaf]

i wonder why that kind of thing is not done by the drawline3d automatically

[mental river]

That's a good point

Poor design

I'll make a ticket

[tall palm]

Does it do this if you use

addMissionEventHandler ["Draw3D", {
{ 
   drawLine3d _x; 
} forEach lines; 
}];

[tired leaf]

haven't tested that

[tall palm]

well, test it and let us know

[tired leaf]

i suppose i'll set it up for testing in an otherwise empty mission with no mods loaded the next time i leave my computer

[tall palm]

doesnt matter mods or not, just replace oneachframe and leave as before

[tired leaf]

ok

[tall palm]

I expect it will be fine, because Draw3D checks if UI is available, oneachframe just doesnt care

[gloomy fractal]

Where can I find the client side .rpt file?

[steady hawk]

!rpt

[rustic eagle]

Arma RPT

[gloomy fractal]

Ty!

So I am trying to figure out why I keep disconnecting from an Arma 3 server at the end of every hour, and I am not sure what I should be looking for in the RPT files or should I be looking at them at all.

[umbral narwhal]

One specific server, or all servers?

And actually on the hour mark, or after an hour connected?

[gloomy fractal]

One Specific Server, thing is the other server I tried it on, both use the same Host, which is Host Havoc, and actually on the hour mark meaning, that if I connect at 7:35 PM, somewhere between 7:45 PM and 7:55 PM, I will start losing connection and then eventually get a no message received and then disconnect.

This has started happening recently and as far as I know there has been no changes to my ISP or any settings/ports from that end.

[umbral narwhal]

I assume you tried restarting your network hardware.

[gloomy fractal]

No more slot to add connection at 010070 (1001.7,7031.8)

There's 4 more other lines like these in the RPT that have varying numbers and the word connection in it, I dont suppose it means anything but maybe you know

[umbral narwhal]

client RPT?

[gloomy fractal]

yup

[gloomy fractal]

So here's the thing, say after 7:55PM I wait till 8:05 PM and connect back in everything works smoothly and perfectly until it again hits the hour mark

I have a static IP

I have played in total 10 hours on the server without interruptions so this issue is recent

[umbral narwhal]

"No more slot to add connection..." appears to be a map-specific error.

[gloomy fractal]

Yes I just checked, do you have any idea what might be causing my connection issues? I am prepared to sit down for 5 hours and fix it If i have to

[umbral narwhal]

What map is this?

[gloomy fractal]

Fapovo

[umbral narwhal]

Try another map, see if you have the same problem.

[gloomy fractal]

Unfortunately since I am not the owner of the server, I am not able to do that, since its a Mil-Sim unit we are gonna be on this map for I believe a month more, it might be a map issue, but I was playing on this map before the connection issue and everything worked fine. Here's what I found on the Arma forums about the slot to add connection issue though.

I am currently waiting 15 mins on a 3rd server hosted by host havoc to see if the issue persists on this server, it's a different map.

I can however get this 3rd server to switch to Fapovo aswell

[gloomy fractal]

So the map does not seem to be the issue, tried it on the 3rd server with Fapovo and it didn't disconnect, maybe a mission file issue?

[umbral narwhal]

More likely a networking issue, but that's harder to vary.

[gloomy fractal]

Would poking around the server rpts/logs help? Aka going on to HostHavoc's site and checking the issue from there

[umbral narwhal]

RPTs and logs don't record any useful information about disconnections, IIRC.

[gloomy fractal]

Oh, is there any way to get some sort of clue about the connection, I am trying to figure out how to get my internet to ping something every second and see if there's some sort of issue/anomaly at the time of disconnect

[umbral narwhal]

just ping -t ipaddress on a command console will do that.

The 1hr suggests something more like intentionally dropping specific connections though.

[gloomy fractal]

So it can be narrowed down to an ISP issue?

[umbral narwhal]

Nah, could be local networking.

I don't think there's any way to know what cut the connection.

unless you have packet sniffing at the far end :P

[gloomy fractal]

I am gonna pretend to know what that means

I just switched from my network booster LAN to my Main Internet Router LAN

[coarse plank]

can anyone explain what “network view distance” is in the server settings?

[gloomy fractal]

Okay so swapping the LAN cables so that my MAIN LAN is connected directly to the PC instead of the network router seems to have worked, no disconnections at all, and the pinging seemed fine aswell, I just wanna confirm it and check again next hour, can I leave the cmd prompt pinging till then?

Also do you think it mightve been a faulty LAN cable or some sort of issue with my network booster that might be causing these disconnections?

As always You've been a huge help so tysm!

I have no idea why the server isnt working lol

The modpack is fine, works on pc, all the mods are installed ,command line is correct

[low sapphire]

Been getting this error, as well as status access violation

Tried reinstalling the game, deep pc restart, the game will run on 32 bit however I have no intention in settling for Arma on 32 bit even though that was a recommended fix to play

Haven't been able to play Arma in weeks with no problems before that

[umbral narwhal]

@fringe salmon Error is related to enhanced movement.

@low sapphire 0x0000DEAD should mean that there was another more meaningful error message before that.

but given the 32/64 bit thing it's probably just the 64-bit vc2013 runtime going walkabout

Install the 64-bit version from here:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/update-for-visual-c-2013-and-visual-c-redistributable-package-18d278e8-1c79-2630-e8ae-e9f4679b2393

[tardy gust]

For eden editor even if map mod is not selected will my maps still save for those maps after I no longer have it enabled

Cause rn I run all mods at once and i think it’s making my pc slow and I can’t run the game then without it crashing

[umbral narwhal]

You won't be able to open missions that use maps that aren't loaded, but it won't harm them.

[fringe salmon]

alr i need elp

help

me and my friends servers arent showing up on each others server lists

and when we try to join off profiles, it doesnt work

[brave hawk]

have you tried the followings:

ticking the UPNP box and hope it works

[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”

[brave hawk]

or hamachi

[fringe salmon]

you already asked me that

i have ipv4

wel havent tried upnp yet do

[umbral narwhal]

whatsmyip is only half of the IPv4 check.

You have to compare that against the WAN address of your router.

[fringe salmon]

i know for sure its ipv4

ive had it for 3 years

can somebody hop in a vc wit us and help us troubleshoot

we were rly looking foward o this zombie op

[umbral narwhal]

sighs

I'll do it on condition that you have admin access arranged to your router.

[tardy gust]

How can I find this in my files and delete the map or can I do it on the arma program

[fringe salmon]

hey just found out, 3 of my other friends are expierencing the same issua as me

[tardy gust]

How I fix this it makes my game quit

[tardy gust]

[steady hawk]

Seems like some CUP Mods are corrupted

[tardy gust]

I now my mouse is a banana

Idk why

Should I just restart all mods and delete em all

[mental river]

You might have a shitty mod that's injecting its own ACE...

[mental river]

Just unload all of them

Only use trusted mods

[steady hawk]

Or don't load Mods that you don't know what it does

[fringe salmon]

servers are still fucked

for hosting

its been a year daddy

nobody has helped us with our problrm

we are bored as fuck and

wonderyin

why did we alll pit at leasvt 600 hours into this game

[uncut trellis]

Like you have been guided before, portforwarding has to be done to be able to host locally and your internet connection needs to support ipv4.

the issue is not with the game or the server as thousands of other people have no issue with it. You'll have to go through the steps again carefully to see if you missed something

also in the future, do use less fucks in your communication

[dusty rose]

Anyone know how to stop aircraft friendly firing on the runway? I’m trying to launch some F/A-18 Black Wasps ahead of some Wipeouts, and the Wipeouts will launch rockets and missiles at the Wasps every time before they even finish taxiing. Both aircraft are on the same team, as are the pilots

[uncut trellis]

if everything is set up as you say, they should not. unless you have some mods that cause it

[dusty rose]

I looked back at save times, and the issue happened before I installed mods. The AI even acknowledges it as friendly fire with some radio shouting, then keeps firing rockets at the burning wreckage

[uncut trellis]

you might want to remake the mission from start. Ai does not under normal circumstances fire at friendlies

[errant gulch]

I have a mod which contains multiple pbos, that mainly contains retexture files for different pieces of gear. However I have encountered an error. Once I try to load the server with a mission that contains the items in the mod, server gives an error saying something like: This mission can not load because of missing or not loaded addons:" and it gives name of some of the pbo in my mod. Any idea what could be causing the issue? (if you load the mission without those items and spawn them in the mission, in zeus, its all good)

[uncut trellis]

youll need to post the full error message

and well most likely this mod of yours is somehow broken

[errant gulch]

It probably is, I just need to find out what needs fixing

I will upload the error messege once home

[pine kite]

Always have a healthy distrust to any application or service that claims to 'boost your stuff'. It often comes with a drawback.

[pine kite]

Is that a line on the server RPT log file, or in the client RPT log file. Either way, one of them is missing a mod that add 'BaBe_core'. Which according to Google point in the direction of Enhanced Movement. 'emr_main' probably being Enhanced Movement Rework that has it as a dependancy.

[quaint jewel]

You should have freeze reports in your RPT folder, if you can get them to mee I should be able to see why its freezing

[tired leaf]

.mdmp files?

[quaint jewel]

Yes. Thank you the freeze is inside Microsoft's Audio code, I've seen this a couple times the last month, its not our fault and it has nothing to do with drawLine3D like leo said

[tired leaf]

i've just tested that and it didn't crash however as dedmen has meanwhile figured out the freeze was unrelated to the draw3d

[tardy gust]

how do i tell if its trusted i normally just pick 5 star or 4 star rated mods

What does these mean ? The link marker and green

Is that what makes sure. Mod is good

[uncut trellis]

no

nothing makes sure mod is good and working

the green marker is the local downloads readyness state

green means its up to date

@tardy gust

[gloomy fractal]

Should've made it more clear, "Boost" as in just a secondary wifi router to boost connection signals through out the house.

[pine kite]

That does induce lag, more hops, more delays in getting the packet across. Also, your second router may issue local IPv4 addresses with a 1 hour leasetime. That might be the cause of your hourly disconnects if your PC can't renew the lease somehow.

[tardy gust]

ok

[uncut trellis]

however up to date can mean its still broken

[fringe salmon]

Whenever a player gets in a helicopter, it just goes up forever

[pine kite]

First they got to turn on the engine. Some context seems to be lacking in your explanation. If they are the pilot then maybe they have a stuck key. Or their joystick has a throttle analog axis that is not properly centered or otherwise calibrated.

[fringe salmon]

Allow me to elaborate.

As in, the NPC is piloting, flies fine w/o players, just up when players get in

[pine kite]

Which seat are they getting in?

[fringe salmon]

Any passenger seat on any aerial vehicle

(VTOLs included)

Planes will do this sort of elevated climb while VTOLs will turn rotors and then also do elevated climb

Helicopters just go straight up

[pine kite]

Are you using any mods? As passengers should not be able to change the flightprofile of aircrafts in vanilla.

[gloomy fractal]

Ahhh that makes alot of sense, tysm!

[uncut trellis]

@fringe salmon @pine kite there is a bug in the helo piloting at the moment that causes that

Dedmen is on top of it tho

🚁

[pine kite]

Being on top of an ascending helicopter is not healthy though.

[umbral narwhal]

I imagine working with Arma's AI codebase is not healthy either :P

[dense stag]

question

whenever i try to play on a modded server i get in issue with the mods "key is not accepted" which i know means normally that you have mods the server doesnt allow

but the issue is i have no mods nor the dlc that isnt required loaded i use exactly what the launcher says the server requires, any help?

and note for soem reason the only servers i can play on are C4G that has like 3 mods

[umbral narwhal]

It's pretty specific about which mods are broken/wrong. You should use that information.

@dense stag

[lime sphinx]

Well, another thing is: i've seen launcher throw a fit and load some un-checked mods via a command-line parameter in options 🤷‍♂️

[fringe salmon]

Update messed up sm

[steady hawk]

The server is not updated yet to the latest hotfix

Not the update's fault

[fringe salmon]

There’s no official servers on too 😂

[steady hawk]

I could join into official server finely

[steady hawk]

Don't use in-game server browser but Launcher's

[fringe salmon]

Every time I load from the launcher it freezes me at the loading screen and kicks me off the server.

[steady hawk]

🤔

[fringe salmon]

Why I use in game

Instead

[steady hawk]

I don't know how it kicks you so can't really say anything

[fringe salmon]

Server timeout

Idle

Even when it loads I'm stuck at the page

[steady hawk]

Anyways I can see official servers finely in both Launcher and in-game browser

[fringe salmon]

So why can't I?

I already tried restarting

[steady hawk]

I don't know. Maybe your end is something doing wrong

[fringe salmon]

Already validated my files

And I have a good PC

So can't be performance wise

[steady hawk]

Of course it can't be a performance issue. I suspect a network issue, but I ain't that smart at that perspective so can't say

[fringe salmon]

I get 800 - 1000mbps

Wired

[quaint jewel]

Every time I load from the launcher it freezes me at the loading screen and kicks me off the server.
That sounds like you cannot connect to the servers, which matches the fact that they aren't showing up ingame

[fringe salmon]

No this has been happening before

When this issue hasn't occurred with the in-game

[steady hawk]

Literally what I wrote above

[fringe salmon]

Soo, ever since the update, I can't log into arma 3 official servers with no mods. Anyone else having this issue?

[steady hawk]

With what error?

[fringe salmon]

No error, it just shows me the island of stratis, until it decides to kick me.

Oh, I should update: It's only the warlords servers, not all of the official servers will do this.

It just says "connection lost"

after I wait for a while.

Strange, it just decided to start working...

🤷‍♂️

[ocean cosmos]

Welcome to arma

[pine kite]

Or the warlords server admins had to get it updated first.

[ocean nacelle]

Anyone able to help me out

[steady hawk]

With what

[ocean nacelle]

My screen comes up with a notice that says “Addon ‘AiA_Core’ requires addon ‘LoadAfterA3Data_C_PvPscene’

[steady hawk]

Whatever AiA_Core it is though, you don't have a required Mod

[ocean nacelle]

Where can I find that

And I also have this error

I’m having this issue where my game launcher launches my game with IFA3 mods and out of no where this comes up, “bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/LIB_ArmouredCar_base/DestructionEffects/Lights2/: Cannot find base class ‘Light1’ help me please

[steady hawk]

I don't know as I don't know which Mod AiA means

[ocean nacelle]

Crap

What could it be

[steady hawk]

The one who should know is only you. Because I don't know what Mods you have

[ocean nacelle]

oh

[lime sphinx]

O_o

AiA is really old and has been superseded by CUP.

[steady hawk]

I don't really know if it is pretty legacy All in Arma Mod

[pine kite]

Check the Parameters tab of the Arma 3 launcher. See if there is a line that specifies which mods to load. It shouldn't exist unless you did enter it manually. But people have claimed they found out it was configured outside of their knowledge/own actions.

Normally you select mods through the launcher mods tab, and start the game via the buttons on the lower left.

[wintry violet]

How can i fix it

[pine kite]

Check the location of your mods. It's a local mod path shown there. So probably done by yourself. Repair if necessary. The mod in question is RHSUSAF.

[quaint jewel]

The path thats shown there is the server path

its saying they are missing that pbo or whole mod

[quaint apex]

I was playing old man with mods after I stole the classified document's and hand over to miler and the game shows this

what's that mean?

[void fjord]

map and exclamation mark

🗺❗️

[quaint apex]

yeah

but what dose it mean?

this is what it looks like

[void fjord]

i think it just means that csat and gendermarie shoot you on sight now it should change to yellow if you have one of their uniforms im not sure tho

[void fjord]

wait can you open the map with „M“?

if not then it just means you have no map

[pine kite]

There is something down that beam of light on the left. Don't know if it is important though.

[restive sequoia]

It's the smoke of the campfire

[lethal crater]

since the newest hotfix Im not able to use cursorObject onto an original map placed ATM is this meant or a bug? buildings and other objects work.

[pine kite]

Ok, campfire smoke. But I rather mean that thing closer up the tree trunk there above it.

Might just be junk laying around. Might be something important that is scripted to be there.

[fringe salmon]

when i turn on my plane engine it just turns off

not even a second after i turn it on

doesnt do it when im in cars though

[uncut trellis]

do you have mods?

[fringe salmon]

yes

[uncut trellis]

most likely this is caused by some mod you have

test without any mods to confirm

[quaint jewel]

Are you sure sure sure? I don't know a change that could do that

[void fjord]

if i shoot a gun its so loud my audio crashes and i have to restart my pc is that some kind of feature or do I have to verify integrity?

verify

[uncut trellis]

any mod can break it

@quaint jewel The thermal optics strobing issue that I have been experiencing has been improved substantially with the latest fix!!

@steady hawk

[steady hawk]

I don't have an answer

[rough zodiac]

Steam seems to keep my workshop mods after I unsubscribed to them. Please tell me there's a quick fix that doesn't require reinstalling the game

[pine kite]

Manually empty the folder of the particular mod ID in your Steam Workshop folder.

[rough zodiac]

Yeah I fear those are the only two "solutions"

[ocean cosmos]

make sure you are unsubscribing from dependencies first

that seems to do it for me

[restive sequoia]

and restart steam after unsubscribing

then they usually get deleted

[patent flint]

Has someon expirenced the behaviour that after the SOG Update when opening the Launcher, many Workshop Mods got deleted and redownloaded? I have several people including me that was have this exact issue after the Update today.

[uncut trellis]

I believe you are the first one to ask here at least

could be some mods updated at the same time?

[patent flint]

None of the mods that were deleted have received an update recently. It was like this, I opened the launcher and clicked on mods and all of a sudden mods were deleted. Shortly after, they were put back up for download. Also, some mods were displayed that dependencies are missing. When I checked the !Workshop folder, the mods were also deleted there.

And exactly the same problem was previously reported to me by some colleagues who just wanted to play a small Arma mission, there the behavior was exactly the same. And the commonality was that it had especially shot up the big mods.

[lethal crater]

If i use _type = typeOf cursorObject; _displayName = gettext (configFile >> 'CfgVehicles' >> _type >> 'displayName'); hint format['Object: %1 (%2)', _displayName, _type]; on a original map ATM it responds (), on placed ATM it shows name and class. If i point onto a original building it shows name and class also.

[restive sequoia]

Not every object has a CfgVehicles class, like some terrain objects or for example or some mil tents from the CUP mod etc.
This is probably the case

[tall palm]

typeof that atm returns "" in 2.08

and in 2.10

[torn ivy]

alright

will do

lmao I restarted the game and it just fixed itself

[quaint jewel]

I think thats more a message to tell your friends about it then 😄

[steady hawk]

I actually never seen a similar display before...

[quaint jewel]

Then you better go run your Arma 👀

[steady hawk]

B-but I still need to install SOG hotfix 👀

[quaint jewel]

just go to Arma folder and run the exe directly and bypass steam 😄

[mental river]

or just uninstall it if you don't use it rn 😅

[steady hawk]

Hm, does it... start the thing? I just found a tank, only a tank

Ey... where should we discuss about the thing since this is not really the place isn't it? 😄

Aaahha, now I get this 🤣

Which Mod you talk about?

I mean the link

Then rename back?

[lethal crater]

you are right it didnt came throughout the hotfix, i rembember having this issue awhile back also and just ignored and forgot about it. wish it would work tho, since it works on self placed atms and standard buildings.

[void delta]

hey guys my ai pilots will not fly me anywhere

when i get in they just ascend

[uncut trellis]

have you told them to go somewhere?

[void delta]

yep and they just ascend non stop

without me in it they go just fine

[uncut trellis]

your game is not up to date then

[void delta]

its updated for sure. im verifying files right now

[uncut trellis]

at least sounds like the bug that was found recently but I belive the recent hotfix was supposed to fix that

[void delta]

yea im not sure what to do

its frustrating

[uncut trellis]

you got mods?

[void delta]

yea was running rhs

took off most other stuff to see if it fixed it

[uncut trellis]

try similar setup but without any

mods can always have issues

[next quail]

hi - does anyone know why the mods presets revert back after I rename them?

like the next time I reopen the launcher they are not saved

how can I modify the mods presets and make sure it is saved?

[uncut trellis]

possibly something in your windows is preventing the save of the change

[next quail]

shrug

im just using the launcher menu to rename or delete presets

could it be steam cloud sync is messing it up ?

[uncut trellis]

yes

very likely

or not steam cloud sync but possibly one drive

[next quail]

how can i disable it ?

i dont use those

[uncut trellis]

or some other if you have such

[next quail]

solved. I disabled steam cloud in the Arma 3 properties

[uncut trellis]

👍

[pine kite]

OneDrive has a line in Settings\Apps where you can remove it I think.

[next quail]

actually for some reason even though i disabled cloud sync for arma - sometimes i get a message sync was unsuccessful

which is weird because it's not suppose to sync

and now the problem repeats

[proven axle]

I have 2 gpus. One amd and one nvidia, arma defaults to the nvidia gpu which is dedicated to stream encoding(3gb of vram) I want it to use the superior amd card

[proven axle]

Amd card has higher clock and 8gb of vram for reference

[muted depot]

Everytime i close the game my entire pc just freezes to death

[pine kite]

I've gotten those when I start the launcher up too quickly after shutting down arma. The first process is still active so the second can't do whatever it needs.

[next quail]

thanks!

[dusky copper]

I had a chance to test the fix to heli pathing tonight. It works great!

Thank you. 😃

[zenith bobcat]

guys, i have a problem, i cant host games on arma 3 at all, ive tried every tutorial i could find but still nothing

[pine kite]

What are the symptoms that tell you that you can't host arma 3?

[uncut trellis]

!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”

[uncut trellis]

have you done these?

[errant gulch]

I have a mod which contains multiple pbos, that mainly contains retexture files for different pieces of gear. However I have encountered an error. Once I try to load the server with a mission that contains the items in the mod, server gives an error saying something like: This mission can not load because of missing or not loaded addons:" and it gives name of some of the pbo in my mod. Any idea what could be causing the issue? (if you load the mission without those items and spawn them in the mission, in zeus, its all good)

Server says:
Missing addons detected:
OdinUniformretextures
OdinVestretextures
Warning Message: You cannot play/edit this mission: it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted. OdinUniformretextures, OdinVestretextures

[uncut trellis]

could be the miission is not saved with those addons enabled

if you make a new mission (something simple to test) with the correct mods loaded and save that and try that does it give same error

[errant gulch]

If you open eden, place stuff from the mod and save the mission. Than you put it in the server. Server gives missing addons error.
But if you launch an empty mission on the same server you can clearly see and spawn that stuff in zeus, no the mod list should be correct

[ocean cosmos]

Has the server actually got the mod updated

[zenith bobcat]

when someone tries to join, it says connection lost to server

[pine kite]

Did you open all the ports in your router and firewall shown in the bot response that HorribleGoat triggered?

[zenith bobcat]

oh dang.

i think im on an IPv6

connection

[pine kite]

Yeah, that is a no go then

Can you join other servers?

Hey I'm trying to set up a server for me and my friend

I cant play with one of the default missions, but I can't play any workshop scenarios?

[pine kite]

Why can't you?

[quaint flax]

I've been trying to use "setObjectScale" for multiple hours now and I've scoured the internet for info and fixes, but no matter I've tried, it absolutely refuses to work

any advice?

[uncut trellis]

in where do you try to use it?

[quaint flax]

after searching for a while online, I found some vague suggestions that I need to enable something in the "config" liiiike... "BIS_func_debugConsoleExec" in "cfgremoteexec"

uuh, the debug terminal. I first tried it with an addon that keeps the debug terminal open in any gamemode, (singelplayer and virtual arsenal for me), but later I also tried it in eden editor in a private LAN multiplayer server and it still didn't work

[uncut trellis]

If I remember right its not very easy to use in multiplayer

[quaint flax]

what about single?

I have an addon that allegedly makes that possible

[uncut trellis]

difficult at least

[quaint flax]

but for me so far debug entirely is possible nowhere

I found cfgremoteexec but I couldn't for the LIFE of me find any code inside that cfg

[uncut trellis]

what are you trying to scale with it?

[quaint flax]

_player

[uncut trellis]

remotexec is multiplayer thing

so yourself?

[quaint flax]

yeah

yesterday I finally managed to rig my character in blender to the arma 3 ik rig, and I was about to scale it then start retargetting the animations like you said 2 weeks ago to me, but then I saw "setObjectScale" so I decided to test that out before I go and reinvent the wheel again for another game 😅

hasn't worked. But I figure the lead isn't dead 'just' yet

this's my last resort asking here though

[uncut trellis]

welll its kinda dead idea

its not very easy to manage

especially on characters

[quaint flax]

in what sense specifically though?

like, if it's just a knowledge barrier, I got infinite free time and motivation to learn it

[uncut trellis]

as far as I know youll need to run it on each frame

[quaint flax]

mmmmmm, that does sound bad then

why, cause it's not a static object or something?

[uncut trellis]

probably

animations reset it

[quaint flax]

actually since I'm here I might as well ask, where did you get the BI human animations for your 40k space marines?

I assume by "convert the anims" you meant retarget them then resave them in blender as new rtms?

I've been doing my homework since me and you last talked

last night I couldn't find out how to actually 'get' the in-game anims to retarget in the first place

[unreal jacinth]

Polpox, why do I get thise area when I try to ctrl-e a atactic animation on to the AI

[honest jackal]

Idk what’s up but when I loaded up Arma today it ran like absolute horseshit and I can’t get it to run properly, maybe like 3 seconds of 70fps followed by 30 of 1-2 at most. This is in an basically empty Eden scenario aswell
