arma3_troubleshooting

[quaint jewel]

try verifying game files, I think that checks mods to

!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.

[ruby rapids]

i did

nothing

happend

[dull kernel]

lol

[ruby rapids]

should i try again? @quaint jewel

[quaint jewel]

I don't know past that

[velvet spoke]

Help

Every some time (Happens randomly) my custom helicopter keybinds, get back to the default keybinds i dont know how to fix it.

[winged pendant]

When you close then open the game?

On my unit's server we are getting massive Desync(?) issues.
Haven't worked out the pattern yet but occasionally every player stops seeing movement from everything however no one is getting desync or timeout issues and server logs are showing people DC'ing when they eventualy click disconnect rather than when the issue starts.
Is that desync or should I be searching online for different words?

[restive sequoia]

Are you using stable build on your server ?
If so try the latest performance build

[winged pendant]

I kinda "inherited" this setup and after searching for the latest version of TADST the first thing I see is "TADST is outdated", think that could be the cause?

[restive sequoia]

Don't think so

[velvet spoke]

Yes

[winged pendant]

Looks like TADST runs the server file that comes with Arma3 rather than the standalone server. Will try switching to that.

[winged pendant]

Is your C drive full?

[velvet spoke]

Yes, how did you know XD

[winged pendant]

Same happend to me. If it cannot write to your Docs folder (Where Arma keeps your profile data) It resets it each time to open the game.

That includes wiping Arsenal loadouts (And maybe saved editor missions)

[velvet spoke]

Oh I didn't think about that, makes sense

[velvet spoke]

YES!! that also happened

so now i should delete some files to free some space

[winged pendant]

Delete some of your parrot rave videos then try again.

[velvet spoke]

Alright

[winged pendant]

I like to backup my docs Arma folder every now and again so If this issue does hit me its not too bad.
C:\Users%username%\Documents\Arma 3

[pine kite]

Or the majority of you mods. Those eat away space. And people tend to go overboard on them.

[winged pendant]

Or C:\Users%username%\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\Biggles

[velvet spoke]

Yep i also have huge mods

[velvet spoke]

Ok TYSM

someone help to solve this

[steady hawk]

You probably need to reinstall DirectX

[whole plinth]

Wondering if anyone has ever come across an error like this, friend of mine has run into the issue.

Has verified game cache, verified and repaired all mods, ran the game without mods, all running into the main menu and in-game looking like this.

Cheers

[steady hawk]

Does your friend ever moved a pbo anywhere to anywhere?

[whole plinth]

He's never messed around with that no, he does have workshop addons on another drive to note.

[steady hawk]

How does it look without ANY Mods?

[whole plinth]

Exactly the same

[steady hawk]

RscMiniMap brabra?

[whole plinth]

That error box comes up with multiple errors, but they're all the normal mod related ones that you just click "Close" on, that I've had before and know aren't suppose to cause anything like this

[steady hawk]

I kinda suspect that, urm, delete Arma 3\dta folder and re-verify?

[whole plinth]

Alright, we'll give it a shot.

[ruby rapids]

anyone able to hop in vc and help its been months

[steady hawk]

With your last issue that corrupted Mod?

[ruby rapids]

yes

its really hard to explain

[steady hawk]

Can you probably unsub/resub?

[ruby rapids]

i did

and repair

nothing

it says the path for the mod folder is not set when it clearly is

[steady hawk]

Can you see the Mod's folder in Explorer?

[ruby rapids]

Could you hop in vc i know its a lot to ask ill just be talking its just hard to type

ill screenshare

[steady hawk]

No

[ruby rapids]

dam

cant find a mod folder

[steady hawk]

VC is useless because no history will be recorded. Just screencap and post here

[ruby rapids]

is it the !WORKSHOP

[steady hawk]

There should be

[ruby rapids]

hold up

[steady hawk]

I'm not asking to locate in Arma 3 Launcher, but Explorer

[ruby rapids]

ok

D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3!Workshop

?

[steady hawk]

And look inside

[ruby rapids]

What am i looking for

[steady hawk]

The Mod

[ruby rapids]

found only two out of 5

[steady hawk]

What out of what?

[ruby rapids]

mods

two out of five mods that

but i delted those two so i only have 3 corrupt mods

and i did not see them there

thease three where not in !workshop folder

[steady hawk]

Lead to steamapps folder and locate appmanifest_107410.acf folder, and see what's inside. Preferably post the file directly

[ruby rapids]

this?

Cant open it

[steady hawk]

It is just a text file

[ruby rapids]

oh

ok got it open

what am i looking for?

[steady hawk]

Hmm I thought there was something faulty in this file, but couldn't find

[ruby rapids]

i thought the problem was that i had one on a c Drive and the game on D drive

but i moved it nothing happend

[steady hawk]

Move what from where to where?

[ruby rapids]

i move arma 3 that contained xboxgames folder in it to the big arma 3 folder and the launcher

to the same drive

[steady hawk]

xboxgames?

[ruby rapids]

contans this

[steady hawk]

The... what? I did not even asked to do something with a profile folder

[ruby rapids]

this is in the xox games folder idk?

[steady hawk]

Not even related with the missing Mods

[ruby rapids]

ok good just makin sure

i have no idea what im doing

[steady hawk]

Okay so let's follow to the steamapps\workshop\content\107410

[ruby rapids]

Found it

btw thanks for helping me out

[steady hawk]

It's not even done yet

Can you find the folder 2836999643?

[ruby rapids]

yes

found it

[steady hawk]

What's inside?

[steady hawk]

Seems like the Mod itself is there

[ruby rapids]

its air support

plus

[steady hawk]

Indeed

[ruby rapids]

how do i move it

[steady hawk]

You can probably do it by making a symbolic link

[ruby rapids]

Define symbolic link

[steady hawk]

It's a term in Windows

[ruby rapids]

Like i said i have no fucking clue XD

[steady hawk]

Then ask Google

[ruby rapids]

how do i do it

[steady hawk]

Ask Google further

[ruby rapids]

but i still have two more

witch website

wiki?

[steady hawk]

Any that you can trust

[ruby rapids]

my brain hurts

[steady hawk]

Correction, Junction not symbolic link

[ruby rapids]

junction link?

[steady hawk]

I do believe it is Junction but yeah

Basically you don't move the Mod folders but you make some sort of shortcut

[ruby rapids]

this is way to complicated

[steady hawk]

So, please keep it mind that this is just my wild guess, but it won't do explode your computer

[ruby rapids]

no drag and drop

[steady hawk]

Not it really isn't

Click here, put cmd and Enter

[ruby rapids]

its telling me to du Mklink /j

some stuff

D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\107410\2836999643

?

this

where do i put cmd

[umbral narwhal]

It should be automatically creating these junctions when you install a mod. If it isn't then Steam is very confused about where Arma is installed.

[ruby rapids]

how would i fix it

[umbral narwhal]

That probably depends on how you broke it in the first place :P

[steady hawk]

mklink /j "F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3\!Workshop\@Air Support Plus" "F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\107410\2836999643"This is my example

I don't think this is a Steam thing but Arma 3 Launcher's faulty

[ruby rapids]

Local volumes are required to complete the operation.

it said that

[steady hawk]

Because you didn't changed my example

[ruby rapids]

oh

[steady hawk]

Change this part F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3\!Workshop to where your !Workshop is, and F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\107410 to your eqivalent

[ruby rapids]

mklink /j "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3!Workshop@Air Support Plus" "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\107410\2836999643"

[steady hawk]

I don't know if your code is legit. Just try

[ruby rapids]

couldent find it they said

do i includ this pc

[steady hawk]

Couldn't find what?

[ruby rapids]

The system cannot find the file specified.

[steady hawk]

D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3!Workshop@Air Support Plus -> D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3\!Workshop\@Air Support Plus
Do not skip \ characters

[ruby rapids]

@Air Support Plus i think this is the prob i dont have this folder\

[steady hawk]

No you're about to create with that command, no need to be existed

[ruby rapids]

oh

[pine kite]

Microsoft explanation (who else to trust): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/hard-links-and-junctions

[ruby rapids]

do i do them individually

or like

D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3!Workshop@Air Support PlusD:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3!Workshop@Air Support Plus

[steady hawk]

No

As I said do NOT skip \ characters

[lime sphinx]

!

[ruby rapids]

ohhhhhhh

[lime sphinx]

seems to be Discord thing, it uses \ to escape characters

[ruby rapids]

you where correcting me

[steady hawk]

Ah

[umbral narwhal]

yeah, you have to surround with backquotes or it mangles stuff.

[ruby rapids]

i feel so dumb rn i have no clue what the heck you guys talking about 😅

[steady hawk]

Then understand

[ruby rapids]

cant

[steady hawk]

So, did you executed the code?

[ruby rapids]

im new to this pc stuff

[steady hawk]

I'm not asking how bad you are, I'm asking your fact that you've done or not

[ruby rapids]

mklink /j "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3!Workshop@Air Support Plus" D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3!Workshop@Air Support Plus

man

[pine kite]

Next time, don't just jank and yeet a folder onto another drive.

[steady hawk]

Read this again

[ruby rapids]

mklink /j "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3!Workshop@Air Support Plus" "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\107410\2836999643"

[lime sphinx]

a) "junction" is a special file that says "hey, software, the stuff you're looking is actually located at X"
b) ArmA launcher uses junctions to manage Steam Workshop mods
c) the ones on your machine seem to be corrupted/broken in some bizarre way
d) POLPOX tries to help you to manually replicate the junction that should be created by the launcher. You need to replace paths in his example with your actual folders
e) Discord seems to break the messages, so surrounding the important parts with backticks (these ones `, thery're generally to the left of number 1 ) can prevent confusion

[ruby rapids]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[steady hawk]

This proves how bad I am at explaining someone something indeed 😓

[ruby rapids]

nah

im just dum

could someone like mabye write it out?

for me

[lime sphinx]

"never met with this thing" is not "dumb"

[steady hawk]

Write what?

[ruby rapids]

the command

[steady hawk]

No you. It's your job

[ruby rapids]

i cant seem to get it working i think i keep on typing the wrong thing

idk

[steady hawk]

Or, what the post suggests is true,

[lime sphinx]

"not a certified Captain Obvious/Slowpoke hybrid liking to break stuff down" is not really "bad at explaining", it's just a different kind of one :3

[steady hawk]

mklink /j "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3\!Workshop\@Air Support Plus" "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\107410\2836999643"

[ruby rapids]

is it d or c

[steady hawk]

What? We don't know

[ruby rapids]

at the D:/

HOW DO I KNOW?

sorry caps

[steady hawk]

We don't know where your folders are. We're not hackers that can see your computer through the Internet

[ruby rapids]

im like really new to this stuff

how do i know

where can i see it

if i have a c or d letter

[steady hawk]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/141866231362879488/1022889582229995550/unknown.png
Click here and see what it says

[steady hawk]

D indeed

[ruby rapids]

so is this correct

[lime sphinx]

except i don't see a 2836999643 subfolder on the screenshot 🤔

[ruby rapids]

mklink /j "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3!Workshop@Air Support Plus" "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\107410\2836999643"

[steady hawk]

Again, nobody knows where your folders are. Only you

[ruby rapids]

@lime sphinx

[lime sphinx]

can you please provide a screenshot of your terminal window?

[steady hawk]

With the code you're trying to put

[ruby rapids]

cmd thing?

[lime sphinx]

yep

[steady hawk]

Command Prompt yes

[steady hawk]

Again no skip \

[ruby rapids]

i dont understand

[steady hawk]

this

[ruby rapids]

ohh

\

[steady hawk]

Can you make sure that D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\107410\2836999643 exists via:

1. Copy the path
2. Press Windows key
3. Ctrl+V

[ruby rapids]

works

[steady hawk]

Does it lead to the folder?

[ruby rapids]

yes

[lime sphinx]

then try with D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3\!Workshop please?

[ruby rapids]

no results i think becuase its a hidden folder

[lime sphinx]

just D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3 then?

[ruby rapids]

yes

works

[steady hawk]

Hmm...

[lime sphinx]

🤔 the path with !Workshop seems to work on my machine

[ruby rapids]

if i del the folder containing the mod and the redownload it will that work?

[steady hawk]

Not even sure

[umbral narwhal]

It looks like the launcher creates those junctions on launch, so probably not.

You can even delete a junction from !Workshop, restart the launcher and it recreates.

[lime sphinx]

does the !Workshop even open?

[ruby rapids]

yes

[umbral narwhal]

Either launcher is looking in the wrong place for some reason, or !Workshop is damaged.

[ruby rapids]

is this normal

[steady hawk]

Indeed normal

[ruby rapids]

ok

man

shit

is it so steam?

[steady hawk]

What? No

[ruby rapids]

or the launcher?

well sorry for wating your time @steady hawk @lime sphinx @umbral narwhal

ill just play without thease mods

thanks for helping me

[lime sphinx]

that's some top-tier dark magic stuff going on, to be honest

[pine kite]

There is a typo in the first path of the last command. Lacking a \

[ruby rapids]

i fixed it but still didnt work and its a discord thing

[lime sphinx]

one workaround short of nuclear option would be to add a D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\107410\2836999643 folder as a local mod in the launcher 🤔

[pine kite]

Actually, it was lacking a \ before and after "!Workshop"

[ruby rapids]

NAH

FUCK THIS

LOOK

[lime sphinx]

that's a byproduct of multiple copy-paste cycles between cmd and discord. There's a screenshot just below that where i don't see any typos

[pine kite]

In such a terminal screen, you can type the initial characters of the foldername or filename and have Windows (even linux) complement the rest of the name it recognises by using the Tab-key.

[ruby rapids]

NOW THIS?

WHAT

[steady hawk]

No allcaps please, and are you sure that you don't have multiple launched Arma 3 apps?

[ruby rapids]

NO ONLY LAUNCHER

[steady hawk]

No allcaps please

[ruby rapids]

sorry

caps lock

[pine kite]

I just learned this existed. 👍

[ruby rapids]

really oh?

you vet right?

[steady hawk]

No vet knows Arma 100%ly 😄

[ruby rapids]

well cant play arma anymore

[uncut trellis]

does it start without mods?

[ruby rapids]

idk

[uncut trellis]

try

[pine kite]

Well, still a padawan under the blue folk, only have 1500-ish hours.

Be supportive in one way or another and suddenly you notice you are blue.

[uncut trellis]

bucket of blue paint fell on you

[ruby rapids]

im trying

[pine kite]

No worries. I learned my IT skills by doing the wrong thing. So you are well on your way to become proficient with computers 😉

[lime sphinx]

"You only do the right thing when you have experience. You only get experience by doing wrong things" (c) :3

[ruby rapids]

it starts but

[uncut trellis]

you got something blocking access to profile files then

or broken profile

[ruby rapids]

i think its my externel hardive

drive

im on laptop

[uncut trellis]

is the game on external drive?

[ruby rapids]

hyes

yes

[pine kite]

Looks like it based on the earliers screenshot way up above.

[pine kite]

Elements something

[lime sphinx]

profile is located on system drive in Documents folder by default, though

[uncut trellis]

I suppose that could be a problem yes

[uncut trellis]

indeed

[lime sphinx]

also, this HP laptop looks exactly like the one i'm using right now 🤣

[ruby rapids]

It’s crusty sorry

[ruby rapids]

ignore the wallpaper

[uncut trellis]

cant.

do you have onedrive in use?

[ruby rapids]

i dont think so

nope

[pine kite]

Check with taskmanager (right between your Chrome and Discord icon in the taskbar) if all instances of Arma 3 are shut down.

[ruby rapids]

all closed

[uncut trellis]

linux build is way outdated

[pine kite]

The native linux version is way out of date and not supported. The only way to play Arma 3 on Linux is to play the Windows version with Proton or whatever.

[uncut trellis]

👆

[pine kite]

Different versions do not connect with eachother.

[ruby rapids]

its all closed

[uncut trellis]

if you start the game and hit close on the error is there other one after it'?

[pine kite]

@fringe salmon That I don't know. Maybe people in #linux_mac_branch know.

[uncut trellis]

if no, can you go to the profile menu and create a new profile

[ruby rapids]

No just a tut

[lime sphinx]

sigh are you sure the game uses profiles on the external drive? Are you really sure?

[ruby rapids]

my game is on the externel

[pine kite]

@ruby rapids How did you put your Arma 3 folder from Documents on that Elements drive. Move/drag and copy? Or did you use the wizard in the properties of the Documents folder/Location tab?

[ruby rapids]

and it was working the other day

drag

drop

[pine kite]

Yeah, that will confuse the hell out of Windows.

[ruby rapids]

fuck

how to fix?

[pine kite]

Not the easy solution, but the most reliable I guess: create a new alternate Windows account with new name and configure that for future use. Probably too many days have passed since you did that to have any of your current account changes be reverted without problems. Start an account from scratch.

[jaunty plank]

Hello everyone, I have a problem for a few days, all my triggers with music release with say3D no longer work. Do you have the problem?
What should I do?
Thank you in advance for your help

[ruby rapids]

factor reset?

factory

[pine kite]

No, just new account

[ruby rapids]

do i have to download all

again?

[ruby rapids]

i think i did it today

[pine kite]

I would suggest to uninstall Steam and reinstall all of that, if you also moved that Steam Workshop folder. Other games might be affected too.

I don't have a full overview of what you moved where.

[ruby rapids]

getting new pc soonso

do it theb

then

[pine kite]

In that case, wait for that. Might have to make do without mods or without Arma 3 if you can't play it.

[ruby rapids]

yeah

thanks

for the help

[vestal storm]

So we rent an arma server through streamline servers for our KP Liberation campaign. We currently have multiple mods on the server and everything was working great. Recently have had an influx of players and felt it was time to add a headless client. After linking the HC to our main arma server the friendly AI no longer want to listen to commands. Enemy AI seem to be fine. Any thoughts?

[pine kite]

Might want to check #headless_client in the Server category of channels.

[vestal storm]

Thank you, so many channels I must of missed it haha. Sorry guys!

[tribal condor]

To anybody that uses ACE, anybody know why tanks completely combust after getting hit by a hellfire or running over an AT mine?

I downloaded the latest version and it still happens

[pine kite]

Are those vanilla (basegame or Tanks DLC) tanks? Or modded tanks? If the latter, make sure to check if there are compatibility mods to mediate between ACE and that mod.

[tribal condor]

Modded

RHS to be exact

and CUP

[pine kite]

Yeah, there exist compatibility mods for RHS. Not sure about CUP/.

[tribal condor]

I have the compats for RHS

Downloaded them from the steam workshop

[pine kite]

Acemod Steam workshop files: https://steamcommunity.com/id/acemod/myworkshopfiles/?appid=107410

[tribal condor]

Yeah I got them from that pack

[pine kite]

Then make sure they are loaded. I don't know to what extent RHS mods are made more vulnerable for tanks.

[tribal condor]

Yep, all loaded

[pine kite]

Also, is that on a server? Or in your local game? Singleplayer missions?

[tribal condor]

Just in the editor

I haven't tried it on anything else

[pine kite]

I'm not too well versed in that, but you may need to tell the editor that those mods need to be included.

[tribal condor]

how do you do that?

[pine kite]

Like some mods need to have a module added in the editor. I guess it is better for other mission creators to confirm and if so, explain how.

[patent kettle]

What exactly is the issue?

Tank is hit, ammo cook-offs, it's on fire.

[tribal condor]

Tanks explode too often

[patent kettle]

If you want vanilla damage model disable Advanced Vehicle damage.

combust after getting hit by a hellfire
well, hellfire kills most of the tanks in one hit IRL.

[tribal condor]

I used to hit RHS T-72B3s with Hellfires and they would either smoke up or have cookoffs

Now they just combust

It's not just with hellfires either

Smaws, M136s, APSFDs

Really anything

[patent kettle]

☝️

[tribal condor]

I think that is the vanilla damage model

But idk

[tribal condor]

How do you do that?

[patent kettle]

CBA settings, like any other ACE settings.

[tribal condor]

Sorry but how do you get there?

[pine kite]

Escape/ Options/Game/Configure Addons button, And then the ACE section in the pull down list. This guide might help: https://github.com/CBATeam/CBA_A3/wiki/CBA-Settings-System

[tribal condor]

Oh you have to be ingame

Ok

[pine kite]

Maybe you can set up some code to have default settings configured via the editor.

[tribal condor]

It was never on

Or maybe I did something when I was scrolling through the ace files

I'll see how this goes, I have a 2S25 and an M1 Abrams staring eachother down

Both from RHS

[patent kettle]

It's not applied.

[tribal condor]

Oh you need to enable it?

[patent kettle]

It's yellow X so server tab applies

[tribal condor]

Also yep, two APFSDS blew it to pieces

I hit it in it's side ERA too

Finally

It's back

Thanks for the help

Didn't expect the solution to be so simple lmao

It's beautiful

[urban mason]

How would i get it so my server doesnt let users with outdated mods join?

[pine kite]

In the server config set the verifySignatures parameter equal to 2 ( 1 is outdated I think) and put the used ans allowed mod keyfiles (in each respective mod's key folder) into the server keys folder.

But you need to keep updating the mods used by the server every time, else people try to log in with a mismatch. (them having newer files than the server, as Steam updates automatically)

You cannot predict when a mod creator pushes a new version. So you are always late to implement the change compared to the players that start Arma 3/Steam right after the update comes.

[sharp goblet]

Can someone help me with that?

[flat blade]

Is your internet stable?
Are you running BattleEye?

[pine kite]

How long were you in the game world/logged in on the server before this appeared?

[ionic viper]

good old battleeye

[stark nest]

why does status access violation show up

[steady hawk]

STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION is only generic error, the code itself doesn't mean anything but your situation does

[stark nest]

but i have a very good PC and this problem occurred only when i try to play online

[golden nova]

maybe broken mods or anything else

[uncut trellis]

it has nothing to do with how good your computer is. something just is broken/missing in the process

youll need to start by noting down the exact access violation error message number there is

and checking if the wiki page for access violations has any useful tips for it

[fringe salmon]

launcher is not showing my workshop mods

[uncut trellis]

has it ever showed the mods? have you moved the Arma install folder? have you subscribed to mods or just missions (missions dont show in the launcher)

[fringe salmon]

i subscribed this mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2801229517&searchtext=BMP

[fringe salmon]

it shows other mods

[uncut trellis]

now I dont undrstand. you have cba there. isnt that workshop mod

[uncut trellis]

this is a composition

so its loaded in the mission editor automatically

the workshop page even has instruction on how to use it

[jovial bridge]

i hit repair on my mod and it wont repair help

[uncut trellis]

have you tried deleting the local files and trying repair then?

[jovial bridge]

?

[jovial bridge]

its from the workshop

my freind gave it too me

and i hit repair and it doesent repair

[uncut trellis]

friend gave it to yoe?

[jovial bridge]

it dosent even pop up in the workshop folder

[uncut trellis]

did you subscribe to it on workshop?

[jovial bridge]

ye

[uncut trellis]

maybe unsubscribe and try to subsrcibe again

[jovial bridge]

still

it say this now

[uncut trellis]

ah

TFL is banned mod

[jovial bridge]

Oh

Makes sense

[uncut trellis]

can you DM me the link to it

[jovial bridge]

why

?

[uncut trellis]

so it can be removed from the workshop

[jovial bridge]

ok

[tribal condor]

Does anyone know how to make AI use the Scud in pook's arty pack?

[uncut trellis]

heavy scripting probably

[shadow raptor]

So...

I have a problem

terrain objects dont show up when I look at them from the air, but when I zoom in they appear and it never used to do this

here are examples

And the grass doesnt show too. Anyone able to help?

I have turned up my object view distance with the CH View distance mod and it did nothing

Anyone able to help?

[uncut trellis]

you most likely have mods that mess it up

[heavy coral]

Anybody know why for me it says CBA is outdated.

Something with 3.17 is needed

Whenever i launch the game and enter a mission it says that CBa outdated

[fringe salmon]

hello

[steady hawk]

moved from #general_chat_arma where exactly you wanted to expect to see the menu?

[fringe salmon]

in the esc menu

the contiune respawn etc etc

[steady hawk]

It shouldn't have a menu for Bloodlust I'm afraid

[fringe salmon]

but the mod still isnt working?

[steady hawk]

Check Options tab. Somewhere in it should have a way to access a CBA settings

[bronze river]

then update the CBA, latest version is 3.15.8

[steady hawk]

Or, in the first place, did you load CBA_A3?

[fringe salmon]

yes i did

[steady hawk]

RHS is not CBA

[fringe salmon]

it was loaded

so

[heavy coral]

How?

I unsubcribed and subscribed and it didnt work

[bronze river]

what is this enter a mission mean?

singleplayer or a certain server

[heavy coral]

Like when i start a mission or scenario or play from the editor and when in character i get the cba outdated error

[heavy coral]

Singleplayer

[bronze river]

are you using this CBA_A3?
https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=450814997

[fringe salmon]

can anyone help me with blood lust?

[icy belfry]

is it ok to ask this question here, I wanna play single player mods with scenario, but when I click play it show "WW3_Core_c_If-Gui_c" is deleted, can you help?2_

[heavy coral]

Yes the steam one

[ocean cosmos]

go into mods section, click cba_a3, click 3 dots, click repair

[primal portal]

It's a longshot but has anyone ever had a weird reload bug where you reload and it does it twice and once done there is no magazine in the weapon?

It seems to only happen with the last few versions of ACE but I struggle to replicate it in test conditions.

[thorn wolf]

why does it keep coming with this

[tribal condor]

Does anyone know a mod that will stop this from happening?

[ocean cosmos]

what is "this"

[tribal condor]

These two ai having a tea party instead of shooting eachother

I triple checked to make sure INDFOR was fighting OPFOR

Literally just strolling while getting shot at

INB4, they all got fragged

[ocean cosmos]

Is their squad behaviour on careless

[tribal condor]

No

It's on aware

Brb, gonna try it on combat

My laptop will end up in a deep fryer

[ocean cosmos]

have you tried without this @bcombat mod

[tribal condor]

I just started it up

But nah I haven’t

I loaded lambs and smarter tanks all the way at the bottom so they override everything

[toxic inlet]

Do you have BattlEye turned on?

[fringe salmon]

how do i fix bloodlust?

please help

[golden nova]

1. load just bloodlust (with its dependencies ofc)
2. see if it works
3. if it does then check your modset for broken mods
4. if it doesn't then be more descriptive

[left sedge]

Hi guys, I don't know where to ask, so I'm gonna do it here. I made a mission and posted it on the workshop. I have no idea why, but I didn't have any problems while testing the mission. Few people reported the issue, and I have it rn too.

-When a player reaches the saveGame; trigger, the game just freezes.
How can I fix this? Found nothing on BIforums or google.

I also tried using the module itself, same problem again.

[lean cove]

I'm having issues with ACRE2 and it not connecting to my teamspeak, I've tried pretty much everything on the table

• Restarting Arma / TS
• Launching both as administrators
• Manual installations

and nothing seems to work if anyone knows how to fix this please shoot me a DM

[ocean cosmos]

ask in ace discord

but step one have you actually loaded the teamspeak plugin

[uncut trellis]

you probably have to start from checking the server RPT logs if there is anything reported there

the issue description doesnt really have much to go on

[left sedge]

I didn't use the server, it's a singleplayer mission. Is there any RPT regarding the singleplayer scenarios?

[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.

[uncut trellis]

yes

[left sedge]

give me a sec

i think it's this one

I can't really find anything regarding the autosave, the only fix I see is to delete all of the triggers with the saveGame in it, and leave it up to player's discretion to save the game when he wants to.

Thanks for trying to help tho.

[rare knoll]

So I recently rented a server through serverblend to play antistasi. However whenever I join the server and get past the role selection screen, I am greeted with an error with some variation of "...encountered instead of...". I have tried it with 2 different mission files, so I do not believe it is a mission issue. Does anyone have any ideas on what the issue could be or how to fix it.

The error given is not always the exact same.

[fringe salmon]

All time i start the game he get stuck on this screen

[quaint jewel]

Try pressing Esc

[fringe salmon]

Ok i will try

[fringe salmon]

Did not work

[uncut trellis]

means the in folder __CUR_MP.Altis mission is broken. Is that your own mission?

[umbral narwhal]

Might be PBO corruption. Make sure the size is correct at each stage and if you use FTP to upload, make sure it's in binary transfer mode, not auto.

[fringe salmon]

thank you! ill try tha

t

[fringe salmon]

can i try it on eden editor?

[fringe salmon]

what does this mean? I get it every time I launch the game , then it crashes

[uncut trellis]

most likely some mod breaks the base game configs

or is just made buggy 😅

[fringe salmon]

is there any way to know what mod is causing it?

[uncut trellis]

something that uses tag LIB_

and has armoured car

disable half of your mods and test and keep going until you find it

[umbral narwhal]

LIB is IFA

[jaunty quartz]

i have a question

i got a problem

so some Ace stuff including ace compatibility to RHS is apparently outdated

how do i fic it?

i even put that shit under repair and verifying the integrity of game cache

yet i still get notif that it's outdated

don't tell me i fr have to reinstall RHS or some dumbass shti cause of this

[uncut trellis]

you either find up to date compatibility mod or report to the mod authors that they need to update it

[jaunty quartz]

i am using ACE Compats - RHS Compats

[uncut trellis]

I dont really use ace so dont know any details of its compatiblity mods

just that things can often break when other mods update

you can try asking in ACE discord too

[umbral narwhal]

It's not necessarily that you have the wrong mods. I had to repair everything & restart steam for this update. Steam workshop just sucks.

[uncut trellis]

that too

[umbral narwhal]

Correct mods are here anyway:
https://steamcommunity.com/id/acemod/myworkshopfiles/?appid=107410

[jaunty quartz]

its the same mod

we've been usign for my friend/unit's for a while

[umbral narwhal]

All the ACE compats and ACE were updated today.

[fringe salmon]

@umbral narwhal , @uncut trellis thank you , you fixed my problem!

[uncut trellis]

👌

[pine trout]

I need help with uav's and zeus. I can fly uavs just fine, and I have used them before. But now for some reason I can not use the gunners cam while in zeus, I tried scroll menu and Ctrl rmb. Nothing works

[spare rock]

I use low setting but still low fps like what i need do to stop it from low fps

[steady hawk]

Increase the video settings. No joke, if you have a decent GPU this is the way

[umbral narwhal]

Even if you have a 10-year old GPU you're still better off on standard :P

[spare rock]

1050

[steady hawk]

Then that's the way

[ocean cosmos]

Wait is it I thought that was a myth

[steady hawk]

Definitely isn't

[spare rock]

?

[spare rock]

What

[steady hawk]

What?

[spare rock]

?

[steady hawk]

KJW said:

I thought that was a myth
I reply:
Definitely isn't

[spare rock]

Qhat myth

What

[steady hawk]

Increase the video settings

[spare rock]

Ah but 1050 is fine?

[steady hawk]

IDK, test it

It should do the trick finely, IIRC I used similar one

[ocean cosmos]

I have a 1050 ti in my laptop and get 120fps in empty editor vr terrain with mods on medium settings roughly

[spare rock]

Singleplayer and multiplayer has completely different fps

[steady hawk]

Of course, both are different

[spare rock]

Like my old pc can even run editor

But not multiplayer

[fringe salmon]

this error pops up every time I kill a civilian

[uncut trellis]

Means you got a mod that does not work right in that situation.

solutions are:
Dont kill civilians
Remove the offending mod
Contact mod author for fix
Create additional patch mod to apply fix yourself

[lime sphinx]

and if you're trying to use it in multiplayer, make sure you have it installed on both server and client 🤷‍♂️

[fringe salmon]

is there any way for me to know what mod causes this?

like logs or something?

[fringe salmon]

oh

im sorry

[latent kiln]

Custom 120deg FOV has reset despite (FovTop, FovLeft) values in “user.Arma3Profile” remaining unchanged. Played all summer with an amazing wide as Hell cockpit FOV but for some reason, over the last week, FOV has reverted and I can’t seem to get it back to how it was (tried re-entering FOV values numerous times). Anybody know how to rectify this?

[burnt imp]

I had a similar issue. I think it was related to a recent update.

Double check that you're in the right ARMA3PROFILE file. Try changing the FOV values to the default 70 degrees FOV. Open the game. Close it, then change back to the 120 FOV

[latent kiln]

I just figured it out. Apparently a secondary user profile folder was created and saved w/in my alternate user profile. So even though I thought I had changed both my original profile and alternate profiles to ensure the wider FOV there was a third culprit. I have no idea how/why it was created as it seems redundant but nevertheless it was in there and once I changed its values to reflect the others it fixed the issue

[burnt imp]

You got Arma'd. Glad it works!

[pine kite]

Whatever it is, Arma 3 works best as a baseline starting from Autodetect. Then increase the rendering options rather than lower it. Lowering it shifts the load to the CPU. If your CPU is a lower single core performance one, it's gonna suck more. And server performance plays a big part in multiplayer experience of FPS.

[civic knot]

This is a bit of an odd question, but does anyone know if there is a way to independently resize specifically the 3den editor ui? I know the scaling for it has always been a bit messed up, but I've never really suffered from any major issues when I was normally working with a 1080p monitor. However, I recently upgraded to a 1440p monitor, and it's become a massive issue. The UI in the editor feels extremely claustrophobic and far larger than it was say, on my 1080p screen. I was wondering if anyone had any solution or workarounds to resizing the editor ui.

[lunar fern]

arma settings arent saving and i cant configure my addons out of game for some reason

[reef shale]

i keep getting a bad_module_info error that crashes my game

how do i fix this

[uncut trellis]

screenshot the exact error and paste link to it here

[reef shale]

give me a minute

i closed it out

@uncut trellis

[uncut trellis]

are you starting the 32bit exe for some specific reason?

[reef shale]

i was seeing if that would fix it, some people said it did for them

[uncut trellis]

also your rpt unfortunately does not contain any error messages. youll have to screenshot the actual error popup

[reef shale]

shit

give me a sec

[reef shale]

i cant

it freezes my mouse everytime i try to take a screenshot

@uncut trellis i got it

what part do you want screenshoted

[uncut trellis]

well the error message should be enough

[uncut trellis]

right so the access violation 00005 has few common reasons listed on the BI wiki page for access violations (also in the pinned messages) you could check those out

[reef shale]

bruh

alright

i have already done the shit

on the wiki

it was the first thing i did

so my game just doesnt work

[uncut trellis]

you can submit the crash files (rpt + minidump files) to BI so they can take a look.

and if you got USB headset (wire, usb bluetooth dongle etc) you can try unplugging that and try if it runs. or try starting the game with the noSound launch parameter to test if USB audio is bugging out

the 00005 has sometimes been connected to that too

[reef shale]

i got bluetooth

would that affect it?

[uncut trellis]

does it have usb dongle on your computer?

[reef shale]

no

[uncut trellis]

well worth a shot to test disabling those too

[reef shale]

i do have a vr headset connected

that might be it

[uncut trellis]

easy to test atleast

but also BI can check the minidump for clues.

[reef shale]

how do i do that

[uncut trellis]

I believe @toxic inlet was receiving those recently. But you'll have to wait for their instructions as its not even morning at BI office yet

[reef shale]

ok

[uncut trellis]

which reminds me got to get some sleep 😅

[reef shale]

anyone know if moving the install folder would help

[uncut trellis]

very unlikely

[reef shale]

damn it

[split pewter]

I have this issue with my Ace mods it keeps telling me the RHS compat and the medical gui PBO files are out of date and won't let me start a mission anyone know how to fix this?

[pine kite]

Very likely to make your problem worse!

Though Steam has a feature to move games between library folders on different drives. That should theoretically be secure/supported. And it never hurts to have Steam verify the install.

[toxic inlet]

Hey man, can you go into the same folder you got the .rpt from and gimme your most recent .rtp and .mdmp zipped together.
Ow and the RTP says your on 32 bit Arma, maybe try the 64x version its a lot more stable.

[reef shale]

i did

i have tried everything

it does it with and without mods, it does it on 64x and 32x

i honestly dont know if my game is fixable

[toxic inlet]

Sorry to hear, but give me a recent .rpt and .mdmp and i can look into it more

[reef shale]

what the hell is that

[toxic inlet]

!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

Note: RPT logs can hold personal information relevant to your system, the game or others.

[reef shale]

you want all of them

[toxic inlet]

just the most recent one, do you also have .mdmp in the same folder?

yeah all those end with .rpt,

[reef shale]

yeah but it is so big i cant share it on discord

[toxic inlet]

zip it up together with a rtp of the same timestamp. it should compress well

there is also a link in the botpost above for a place to upload your files and share them

[reef shale]

its still to big

[toxic inlet]

Basically rpt's log your activity in the game, mdmp reports the conditions of the crash.
I need both to be able to see what happened

[reef shale]

its 59 thousand kb i dont know what to do bro

[toxic inlet]

Alright well you can either use https://sqfbin.com/ or open a ticket on https://feedback.bistudio.com and upload it there.

[reef shale]

for some reason putting it in sqfbin does not down size it at all

[toxic inlet]

just use the feedback tracker then i guess, i prefer to have all the information in one place anyways👌

[reef shale]

alriight

[toxic inlet]

Just ping me with the link if it worked out

[reef shale]

how do i create a post on this god for saken website

[toxic inlet]

think its create task in the top right?

[reef shale]

@toxic inlet check your dms

[jaunty cradle]

Ok so I have this problem with my Arma3 linux server:

The server works fine when I have no mods loaded and I can join in fine
BUT whenever I try to load in with mods(the same mods on both the client and the server) I can join in, select a mission, select a role and then when I push the server to load in it successfully downloads all the assets but then I just get stuck at the preview for the selected map.

The weir thing is when I use the exact same mods, with the exact same config and profile, the same mission scenario and the exact same launch params on a windows dedicated server it all works fine.

Any and all help is welcome.

[split pewter]

its telling me in https://sqfbin.com/ that the RPT file length is too long.

https://sqfbin.com/erijoterodofufagudix here is a simplified version of my RPT can someone help he why it wont let me launch my missions?

[toxic inlet]

Just a wild guess but maybe ACE or one of the mods that interact with ace is out of date..

@split pewter

[split pewter]

well yes but I've downloaded and reinstalled Ace and all relating mods several times in multiple different ways and nothing is fixing it.

[toxic inlet]

you could try validating though steam but if that doesnt work, you would probably need to ask the mod maker of the outdated mod.

[split pewter]

Got it because I did indeed do that too validated it and nothing changed.

[toxic inlet]

Yeah sounds like an issue with the mod not the game, sorry

[umbral narwhal]

@split pewter Did you restart steam at any point?

[fringe salmon]

can someone share screen and tell me how to open server?

[dense tulip]

My view distance is broken, I turned on ace view distance once then turned it off now my video slider have no effect and I’m locked at 1k view distance

[versed pumice]

For the last week I've been trying to join my units server but either one of two things happen, 1 the server doesn't show up despite being online and other players can join, 2 I join and it says failed to connect. I've flushed my DNS, reinstalled arma, and disabled/enabled IPv4. What else can I try?

[umbral narwhal]

Restart your router.

[versed pumice]

.....

[ocean cosmos]

that is a thing you can try

[versed pumice]

That is a thing I have tried.

Thrice

[umbral narwhal]

Can you connect to anyone else's server successfully?

[burnt imp]

Turn off your VPN

[pine kite]

That assumes he uses one. I guess it is more popular than years before, but I wouldn't consider that standard.

[burnt imp]

I agree. Just gotta be clear. The fact that the issue is him only and not his friends does increase the likelihood though

[versed pumice]

I don't use a VPN

[versed pumice]

I can connect to offical servers just fine

[umbral narwhal]

@versed pumice What do you have in this file on the server:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Basic_Server_Config_File

[versed pumice]

steamLanguage="";
language="English";
this is my Arma.cfg file

[exotic goblet]

Hello Folks, I'm from Germany and sorry about my English - hope, you find out what I mean. 3 days ago Steam made an Update on ARMA3. After that the game always start with the language English. I tried to switch many times, bit it comes always back to English. Also I checked the Arma.cfg and my profile. The game ran in german for so many years, and now this problem. Does anybody know a solution? Thank you so much for help.

[halcyon adder]

My chat is hidden, how do I unhide it? rest of UI is still visible

[pine kite]

I've had a similar issue when using the Simple Single Player Cheat menu to Zeus in the Pilgrimage mission. Even when disabling and removing the mod the chat didn't return. I haven't found the actual cause, just noticed that trend. I'll make sure I will not use those together anymore.

[halcyon adder]

Fixed after a reconnect as usual

[humble wigeon]

Yeah i have the same problem too

It just happens out of the blue

[polar junco]

Booted up the Virtual Arsenal to see what's new with the CDLC update and unless that's a new camo pattern I don't think that should be rainbow.

There was another thing I noticed with some of the outfits having a weird wire-frame look to them from only a slightly zoomed out distance, but up-close appeared perfectly normal.

[steady hawk]

One thing I can imagine is somehow your game is corrupted, another thing is your GPU is

!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.

[polar junco]

Mm, maybe.
I do remember there being some hitch downloading the update on my end.

I'll verify and relaunch, see if it's the same.

[polar junco]

Worked, should've probably done that from the start though.
And it appears even when trying to validate it failed once.

[steady hawk]

Phew, even though your computer is not mine it's better if that was not a GPU failure

[lime sphinx]

i believe i've seen at least one person complaining about getting similar texture artifacts on the grass texture on some modded map after alt-tabbing. So, if you've alt-tabbed before getting the glitch - try to restart your game and check right after starting.

[polar junco]

I haven't had that issue but if it does crop up on my end, I'll take note.

[visual juniper]

this could be the wrong channel for this (if it is tell me which one to go to), but does anyone know the possible causes for this Addon Builder error?

[uncut trellis]

There's many things that can result to that but basically means whatever you are packing has errors in it. For addon builder to fail those errors are pretty severe.

[umbral narwhal]

I guess it'd have to be config (binarizing) errors because it doesn't care about the contents of anything else?

[frigid kernel]

Arma 3/orange/addons/missions/missions_f_orange.pbo are not signed by a key accepted by this server

i even get this error in official servers

[umbral narwhal]

I believe @pine kite had a similar issue before?

[green olive]

Hey

Some maps on the workshop under arma3 say
This item is incompatible with Arma 3. Please see the instructions page for reasons why this item might not work within Arma 3.

But the link doesn't explain that at all

[pine kite]

Yeah, described less than a day before. #arma3_troubleshooting message Though it did involve mods.

[pine kite]

Can you point to the scenarios's or terrains in question?

[green olive]

https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=501589008 this one

[pine kite]

Sorry, no idea. First time I noticed that message for a scenario/mod.

[green olive]

Yeah same

[golden nova]

I know that in case of some other games' workshops, items are flagged incompatibile by the steam workshop manager if they violate Steam Workshop TOS or any other rules or if they get reported frequently

I believe Dwarden is the moderator of A3 workshop so you might want to message him directly about it

[honest sigil]

@pine kite@ocean cosmos just to say thanks for the help. In my case i solved it by turning STEAM FRIENDLY UI off in game options.

anyone know how to help a friedn join ur server?

i havent had anyone join my internet server before,

[ocean cosmos]

thanks for sharing solution

[ocean cosmos]

have you done this

[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”

i truly dont know how to check and everyone i have asked about it said youtube uit and when i did i somehow disabled my pc from the internet via code.

and i have no idea how

its like giving a person who knows nothing about cars a wrnch and saying here fix my truck

just follow the instructions on that embed, they're fairly clear

clearly udnp doesnt work if so

Hey guys, Im very new to ARMA and am really enjoying the Campaign so far. However, the game will randomly crash and I will get Status Access Violation Error. Ive updated my drivers and bought the game legitly through steam but the problem keeps occuring

It can either happen after 5 minutes of 3 hours of gameplay

[uncut trellis]

have you checked the wiki page for accessviolation errors if yours is listed there and has potential solutions?

also if you are using usb plugged audio device that might cause the game to crash

[hushed tundra]

Im using a bluetooth audio device not USB and yeah so far Ive updated and then rolled back my graphics card , my temp is fine and my directx was reinstalled, I ran a file/cache check on both steam and via windows and it came up with no problems

I was wondering if it was my GPU overall as I only have a 760 but that doesnt seem to be the problem as I was able to play it for 4 days without problem.

I also have had instances like yesterday where I played for 7ish hours before the access error

[golden nova]

bluetooth device but your dongle is usb, so this still stands

check out the fix that's in pinned messages here regarding headsets and see if it helps

[hushed tundra]

alright Ill try it out ty

[calm mica]

How can i solve this issue objects pixelated from a distance

[ocean cosmos]

in regards to the wheels?

You don't need to fix it because it is not a issue

IF you want to fix it, increase Video Settings > Object

[pine kite]

In those images you moved closer, so yeah, some rendering range setting.

[glass saddle]

why does this happen so much when I play arma. please don't crucify me: I have set my graphics, settings etc etc to all low,lowest,disabled where possible, but my game still freezes for a bit.

I have my OS on my SSD, but my arma 3 game is on my HDD. Like..I have a gaming laptop, I am able to run on medium/hightexture settings sometimes at 60/70fps just fine on missions, but sometimes it's just the complete opposite for a mission that doesn't even have lots of bots etc.

I had also looked up bottlenecking...now I have a very good CPU and GPU (6physical i7 9750H, RTX 2060) and 16gb memory...could some settings perhaps be encouraging this stuttering... I'm not stupid (i hOpE) but I'm getting lost pretty quickly as to identifying why my hdd likes to twitch like it does

At the peaks you see on the graph (might look small overall), my game literally freezes for 0.5s 0.75s ish. I have task manager on my other monitor and yeah, glitchy freeze/pause whatever, spike appears each time. Any help would be greatly appreciated! (please don't burn me at the stake if it's something obvious please :p)

[uncut trellis]

do you have lot of compositions from workshop?

Im gonna guess its not a graphics settings related

low settings are not really good either as they shift load to cpu instead of gpu

there have been cases where micro stutters are connected to game being on HDD and the HDD being too slow to keep up

but also just badly designed mission can have scripts in it that run poorly and cause lag

[glass saddle]

I have 414 loaded, however even with that on certain missions I can play with my above settings just fine, I've done all the bits and bobs for best NVIDIA control panel settings, all battery power plan stuff

I did the auto detect and it just sent everything to fucking ultra lmao and I figured that just isn't necessary...also fps does actually tend to flop in missions etc. I have 144hz refresh rate, and I'm actually using an 8K compatible HDMI cable (so not a display port)

also thanks for your question response!

[uncut trellis]

it likely is not graphics related. more about data reading

[glass saddle]

I'll just shout at my computer until it works faster I'm just about to do MSI afterburner ingame readings so see if maybe something the cpu/or even gpu does have some contribution to the issue

[bronze river]

but why not try to install it on SSD?

[glass saddle]

I did notice I have steam games in both HDD and SSD (yeah obviously) could there be some communication between (I am totally guessing) the main steam and the other steam folder? i.e HDD and ssd doing..whatever between steam is shared in that manner

oh I don't have enough space on ssd, additionally I recall seeing you shouldn't fill up your ssd too much, like leave 15/20% free for example

ok so 256gb which isn't even that

I have 514gb of steam mods

anyhow sorry, I will look into reading performance issues/checks etc, thanks @uncut trellis

my mem is just staying here

i've been informed memory speed is static

[uncut trellis]

in case you want to fiddle the install, you should be able to move the arma game install on the SSD but still have the mods on the HDD

but I dont know the details of that

[viral island]

https://gyazo.com/efa8c2ac2d21658480aadb79407ab5c6 You will see a marker like this on your map
Anyone know what mod marker this is?

[uncut trellis]

which marker exactly?

[viral island]

All red markers and a blue exclamation mark.
These are not written by players.

[pine kite]

Looks like high command units. Base game feature rather than a mod.

Or those exclamation marks could be made by the scenario code.

[viral island]

Can it be placed within 3den editor?

[hot harness]

my game keeps crashing when i start it up

idk what to do

[steady hawk]

So do we... we'll need more information than it crashes like situation or Mods

[hot harness]

i can send you the crash report

[hot harness]

it crashes when i press "play" in the launcher

its starts loading

and then halfway i get an error about a cloud server or stmhing not being connected

and then it crashes

[steady hawk]

stmhing aka saying something won't fix anything, but I can guess - do you use OneDrive?

[hot harness]

i have it yes, but the game itself is installed on my harddrive

wait lemme get a ss of the error

[steady hawk]

You can have your profile folder in OneDrive

You can probably search Google for it

found it

its on my old school account one drive

You found it and are gone? 🤔

[hot harness]

those are just the "names"

so the shortcut to the file

but the file itself inst there

I don't use OneDrive so wouldn't know how to fix, you can probably wait until someone who smart enough

random players keep getting kicked from our server for different pbo files. This recently just started happening and nothing was updated on the server. They are running all the correct mods and have tried verify their files and reinstalling mods. Any thoughts?

[umbral narwhal]

can they reconnect successfully, or do the same players always fail on the same files?

[vestal storm]

They connect to the server successfully every time, then get kicked in 3-5 min. No it changes pbo files every time. Me and others have no issue so I know its client side.

I wonder if this is anti cheat related

[uncut trellis]

Does your server enforce mods or is it open? One can't trust players to actually run only the right mods

[slender sparrow]

guys i hope someone can help me with this, ever since i accidently installed about 200 mods becouse some guy couldnt just make a normal workshop dependency for his faction my arma 3 takes like 5 minutes to start up, when i load into the editor (no matter what map) it also takes like 6-8 minutes before i load in, even after uninstalling most of the mods its still happening, also since then the enemy AI in dynamic combat ops scenarios wont use infantry, only vehicles, the scenario itself loads at normal speeds tho

i have a feeling everyting will fix itself if i reinstall my game/mods but maybe someone got a better solution

[vestal storm]

It enforced mods. You’ll get kicked if you don’t have the right mods.

[uncut trellis]

have you subscribed to lot of compositions. Id wager those can cause long load times

[slender sparrow]

wait what are compositions?

[golden nova]

Multiple objects placed together

[slender sparrow]

ohh yea ok right, ill look into it thanks

[grave rose]

Alrighty. next problem I am running into is that for some reason alot of modded assets/compositions (CUP esp), are unloading themselves while in Zeus & idk why. can someone help troubleshoot this problem?

[steady hawk]

You mean you somehow can't select CUP assets in Zeus? Is it your mission?

[grave rose]

Well: I have access to the assets & compositions that come with Cup, until they just disappear in the middle of an Op.

[steady hawk]

It actually is possible to restrict a Mod (aka Addon) from use in Zeus by a script command AFAIK, so it probably is an issue on mission or Mods side

[grave rose]

Where can I find this and or modify this?

[steady hawk]

Firstly you need to make sure what does that. Is that a custom-made mission? Do you have any Mods that have complicated systems you can say?

[grave rose]

Give me a moment to get the mods/addons

[steady hawk]

Oh, don't get me wrong. I will never figure out even if I glance the list

[grave rose]

How custom-made does it need to be?

[steady hawk]

Let's say if it does have some script files (.sqf)

If you have a full access to your mission file, you can probably search for removeCuratorAddons command

[grave rose]

And is this in the files or in the Eden Editor?

[steady hawk]

Technically either but most likely former

[grave rose]

the files then.

[grave rose]

So I search that command within the files?

[steady hawk]

It maybe reveals why it does so. But not sure, it still may be the Mods' fault

[valid egret]

Hi, one of our members in our group is having an interesting problem that I haven't seen or experienced before. He can't see any playable slots while joining on our servers (see screenshot). He has the newest version of our modpack and his game is up to date. I can't find any solution on the internet. Anyone can help?

[umbral narwhal]

How long did he wait?

I remember having this symptom on a 60-second steam timeout, caused by not being logged into steam friends and having a unit selected.

[valid egret]

@umbral narwhal He waited for several minutes, then tried to rejoin. Same problem... Restarted the game, joined, the same problem. Even after PC restart the problem didn't go away

Also we don't use A3 units

[uncut trellis]

does your server have mod signature check on?

[valid egret]

no, we don't

[uncut trellis]

might be good idea to use it. could catch those unwanted "forgotten to turn off" mods that might interfere

[fringe salmon]

how i fix this just today and went to open arma this pop up it never use to do that i have uninstalled the game still dont work please help me

[umbral narwhal]

Reinstall the VS 2013 x64 runtimes, or the x86 if you're running the 32-bit version for some reason.

[uncut trellis]

is there a question to go with this?

also pls use sqfbin or pastebin for easier reading

!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.

[bleak sluice]

it keeps crashing when i load into the senario and idk why

[uncut trellis]

paste it into pastebin or sqfbin and link here.

so theres no need to download it

[glass saddle]

yo waddup again, ok so reading conflicting search results, can someone help me here. I have a 6 core i7 9750H (laptop yes) 2.6ghz and then 4.1 boost? anyway

in arma cfg it detects 12 cpus ye, but should I uncheck all of these, I see some reddit posts saying about how to just leave the parameters alone. BUT at the same time tbh, I see that extra threads should allow better performance (tell me if I'm wrong)

so should it be 6 and the hyper threading will allow arma to use 12 cores, or does the CPU indeed need to be 12

not so much wanting to get best possible graphcis for best performance trade off blah blah blah.

BUt for what my computer is (rtx 2060 6GB VRAM and 16GB memory) I obviously don't want to be holding/restricting my computer for what it can do

[autumn thorn]

How do I manually install the opcom mod files? Where to I place the files ??

[tough elbow]

Hi, when i try to change optics its really unresponsive and only works 25% of the time

nvm

[pine kite]

Arma 3 uses 1 core predominantly, and the rest of the cores partially with threads. So there is very little use in specifying the number of CPUs/cores to use. It will max out one anyway and can't go faster, aside from using the boost speed. The only other way to use the remaining cores more actively is by running a headless client in parallel, that only processes AI. But the scenario needs to be compatible for that. Not every scenario will work better.

[midnight yarrow]

So I am sorry to bother you guys, but I am having troubles playing with a friend, if he sets up a server I can’t see it on friends, and steam always comes up with a “server not responding” whenever I try to join via the “join game” feature. Direct connect also never seems to work. Me and him have been playing together this way for a while now and this problem has only appeared recently. He says he is doing nothing differently and I am not either

Have you set units as playable

I've placed usable riflemen for example is that what you mean?

attributes/object: control/playable should be ticked and name should turn purple/pink in asset viewer

After Attributes I dont see 'control'

[ocean cosmos]

what have you got selected

[next valley]

Nothing, I am new to all this sorry.

[ocean cosmos]

its impossible to open attributes with nothing selected

select the riflemen

youre looking at the wrong thing, look at only top level, things directly below Arma 3

[fringe salmon]

Quick question: Is PhysX3x86.dll still apart of the arma 3 files?

I don't see it in my Arma 3 folder. I ask because in recent times, my arma game has been crashing with "Access_Violations" Popping up here or there. I've done a lot of my own fixes, but none stuck. I have three more options:

1. Delete or Restore the Missing DLL if its not part of the current game.
2. Stop playing on the profiling branch
3. Nuclear Option: Uninstall and Reinstall Arma 3

I've established a new profile folder, and even made the game use my own system memory allocator. Any helpers?
