arma3_troubleshooting

[cosmic eagle]

It doesn't let me click the F

[steady hawk]

This is not a vanilla feature. Whichever the Mod is, it is related to it, check the Mod settings

Also it is button not buttom

[cosmic eagle]

oh

Sorry my english bad

[cosmic eagle]

Which setting is it?

[steady hawk]

I don't know. I never used the Mod

Or, probably, maybe probably, the [F] does require the key which you use to change the firemode (because it is F by default)

[cosmic eagle]

where i can find change firemode?

[steady hawk]

Controls > Weapons > Next Weapon

[cosmic eagle]

aight thanks so now what i need to do is change the the interactive button which i don't know how 😂

[steady hawk]

What

I only guessed, not pointed it out. Which I can't

[sinful coral]

i want to play missions with my friends and i would usually use the UPNP option but it stopped working out of no where how can i fix that

[muted obsidian]

Hello everyone, i have this issue with the textures when they are a little bit far (like 20meters), i already trying using Ultra and Standard settings.
Anyone knows how to fix it?
My graphic card is integrated, Ryzen 5 5600G

[robust slate]

hi im having a problem with getting the UGV stomper to just follow the player behind them, it manages to do it for a little bit then stops following, no idea how to fix or get working right, I'd love to just be able to tell it to follow in the uav terminal and also be able to tell it to just wait or to go to a grid from there aswell

i can group the UGV to me and it follows but then ignores move commands from the UAV terminal and only accept move or stop commands from the squad leader

[strange meadow]

dose anyone know what could be causing this it only dose it when i aim and shoot

[burnt imp]

Try turning on UPnP on your router.

Also listen to all the rules noted at the end of the Port Forwarding section of this guide. The rules apply to UPnP

[sinful coral]

it’s ok the video didn’t help

on*

[burnt imp]

oof

[shy oak]

The cfg file was deleted to resolve Shaders not valid (mismatch of exe and data?), but it was not resolved. The reason why I'm trying to solve this is because I started to connect to the dead server, but things got worse

+ARMA 3

[pine kite]

Your message makes total no sense. What part of that was an error message you got? What did you do with any Shaders? Was the shaders a mod of some kind? What does that have to do with a dead server, and what would be the exact name of the server? And what exactly does "things got worse" mean? Did something with shaders got worse (bad graphics/program fails to run) or do other servers seem to be dead to you now?

[shy oak]

Here's the problem right now.

I turned on the Arma Launcher and entered the game, and the error "shaders not valid" appeared.

When I searched the Internet, I deleted the arma file from the My Documents file, but it was not resolved.

Question

1. The problem itself occurred after downloading the document server file, is it related to the document server file?

2. How do I resolve the error phrase Shaders not valid?

[steady hawk]

1. Have you tried vanilla game?
2. Have you tried to verify the game?
3. Do you have any Mods that you need to install manually, e.g. ReShade?

[shy oak]

1. I tried to run it without all modes, but there was an error in the vanilla game.
2. If you mean the integrity check of the steam, I tried it.
3. There's a steam mode

The grammar may not be perfect because I use a translator to communicate

[golden nova]

can you run your game without addons and then send the new RPT file? Might be easier to find what's wrong.

[steady hawk]

It is the rpt with Mods

[shy oak]

Oh sorry

OK wait

[pine kite]

What is that "document server file"? Where is it/was it on your system? And why did it needed to get downloaded (from the internet)?

[shy oak]

I think it's a translator error.

it's dedicate sever file

[pine kite]

Post the path to the file, then it might start to make sense.

[lyric adder]

Actually, this is my problem, but I am not good at English, so I asked for it to him instead. Currently, I tried to run it without Mod, but the problem still occurs, and now I'm trying to do step 2 again.

sorry for the confusion

[pine kite]

It's a language thing apparently. Not your fault.

[shy oak]

Psycool is the person I'm talking about in the matter. I told him the link to the discod link here.

[pine kite]

If you tried to follow a certain guide on the internet or some instructions then link them here too. Then we might be able to judge if it is at all valid advice.

[golden nova]

the only (allegedly working) solution to mismatched shaders I've seen was to delete the arma3.cfg file from the user profile.

[steady hawk]

(with backing up it)

[lyric adder]

I ran the FASTER, but there was a problem with the bikey, so I tried to solve it somehow, but it suddenly appeared this error. So I tried to find a solution on my own, and I also tried various solutions, but it failed and became the current state.

[lyric adder]

also I did that

this file is rpt file which I ran vanilla

[steady hawk]

Can you probably delete all files in Arma 3\Dta and verify again?

The word shader reminds me that folder

[stark shore]

hello ive question, i want to play coop with my friend multi on LAN and i can connect to game but he is stuck on map screen after clicking "CONTINUE" button after selecting role

our mods are cba a3, ace, mcc3, psz op4, psz polskie sily zbrojne

[pine kite]

Can you start a coop game with your friend without any of those mods?

[stark shore]

yeah we tried to play without mods and it worked

but when we load these 5 mods, he cant connect to game

he connected to server, but he cant deploy

he is stuck on map screen

[pine kite]

Then remove one of those mods at a time until it works. Make sure he disables the same one before trying to start the game and try to connect. I don't know any of those last mods mentioned.

I don't have the time, but others might find a reason if you posted the RPT file of the both of you.

!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.

[lyric adder]

... it's weird

I was verified three times before, but it didn't work, but now it suddenly works well.

[stark shore]

heres the file

we reduced our mods to cba_a3 and ace only

and the same error occured

he connected to server but wasnt able to join after selecting role and clicking play

[agile rampart]

anybody else having trouble with subscribing to ws mods?

[ocean cosmos]

Thats quite a vague question

[golden nova]

no

[agile rampart]

k

since it seems im the only one with this problem, i'm having trouble downloading some mods from the ws. when i subscribe it shows up as downloaded however it doesnt appear in the launcher

any fix for this?

[ocean cosmos]

Have you tried restarting steam

[agile rampart]

yup

[ocean cosmos]

Have you tried

!steamverify

[rustic eagle]

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

[ocean cosmos]

That

[agile rampart]

mmhm

[ocean cosmos]

Tried restarting your computer?

[agile rampart]

yup

[uncut trellis]

@agile rampart are you sure you subbed to mods and not missions?

Mods will show in the launcher. Missions load automatically

[agile rampart]

yes, i'm subbed to mods lmao

[stark shore]

my friend cant join game with me with mcc

[pine kite]

Workshop? Or Western Sahara cDLC specifically?

[bronze river]

the compability perhaps

[low sapphire]

got this error

[uncut trellis]

does it work without mods?

[low sapphire]

ill test rn

no

it crashes still

I was using reshade for a photo accidentally chose a wrong effect while scrolling through effects screen went black and the game crashed, now I get this every time I start the game

I can drop the rpt if you want

[uncut trellis]

disable reshade

most likely it messed up something

[low sapphire]

alright

[potent marsh]

Anyone know how to fix modded factions not having the right weapons/equipment?

[golden nova]

you do that through config, if its your faction mod then you can try asking in #arma3_config. If its not your mod, tell its author to fix it

[potent marsh]

Yea its not my mods sadly and its been like it for awhile

[zealous ledge]

how do i keep my ai from glitching into walls of buildings?

im using the al salaman map and the ai just keep glitching through walls in the buildings

[pine kite]

I had succes with avoiding this using change #6 : #arma3_troubleshooting message

[uncut trellis]

AI uses AI Paths in buildings, if you just put them in buildings they wont get on the paths and try to get out as they thing they are stuck

[peak latch]

I am loading a modlist completely seperate from another, but when I load into game, it's loading those mods.

I even load just vanilla content, and it's still loading a modlist I don't have loaded.

I can no longer join keyed servers as it's kicking me out for having mods loaded I do not have loaded.

[lime sphinx]

Launcher -> Parameters -> All Parameters -> disable "Parameter file" and "Command line"

[peak latch]

Thank you

[fringe salmon]

Not really a problem and some freak happenstance, but somehow an error managed to write itself into my Arma3Profile

lol

(playing co10 escape)

I tabbed out right during loading, playing on Proton on a locally-hosted-dedicated-server

[umbral narwhal]

Pretty sure that's a bug (and quite a bad one) but I'm not whose :P

RPT logging (which this looks like) is normally written to stdout on Linux, I think.

[agile rampart]

workshop

[fathom ermine]

arma 3 workshop launcher is not showing any of my workshop mods. once i click steam, it shows im subscribed to it but none are displayed/

[night igloo]

My friend currently has a problem where there's some serious LOD issues (Happens in Vanilla too), around 20 meters everything goes into this minimun LOD quality, terrain, foliage, characters and vehicles. tried a mix of pretty much all ingame settings without a fix. we believe is something to do with AMD graphics, he's running a Ryzen 5 5600G

[steady hawk]

Just in case: Video > Object, what setting it is? This option should change the LOD coef

[night igloo]

he tried low, standard and ultra, in that pic he had it in ultra

[steady hawk]

Hm. Do you, or your friend mean the LOD is somewhat get worse when it gets further than like 20m, and is not "flashing" right?

Which GPU also?

[night igloo]

nearby objects appear to have the proper quality that has been set, anything further than around 20m goes what seems the really low LOD for far objects. he's running integrated graphics with a Ryzen 5600G

[steady hawk]

Ah integrated. Just in case, do you have Post process > ATOC? (ingame video setting)

[night igloo]

yeah, he disabled it since researching into this it seemed to cause some other issues. but it didn't fixed it

[steady hawk]

When it does start to happen? Have he played the game for long w/o the issue?

[night igloo]

he recently got his new PC and Arma was one of the first installed games, it happened since the beginning

[steady hawk]

Hmm

Maybe update the graphics driver? That's my best guess

Or... maybe out of VRAM?

[night igloo]

we we're going to try to mess around with the drivers to see if that does something

Hard Drive works fine too

[steady hawk]

🤞

[quaint jewel]

just bad code in that game mode script.
Should be && {OT_deepDebug} instead of && OT_deepDebug

[agile rampart]

mods still arent showing up, anybody have a fix?

[pine kite]

If you go to the Arma 3 main install folder there should be a hidden folder called "!Workshop". Do you have that? If so, post a screenshot of what is in it.

@fringe salmon Please check the same.

[agile rampart]

the mods i subscribed to arent shown in this folder however if i check the steamapps/workshop/content/107410 the mod files are there

[pine kite]

Then something failed to make the linked folder into !workshop to the steamapps workshop store mod-folder. I don't know if Steam is responsible for making it, or if the launcher (Arma/Bohemia Interactive) does that.

As a short term workaround you may be able to manually create those folder links with the Windows builtin commank mklink: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/mklink

For Arma those seem to be Directory junctions, so you need the /j parameter in it. (all on a single line; discord clips it onto the second line)
mklink /j "Fully expanded Modname" path_to_steamapps/workshop/content/107410/modIDnumber

Or just select those modIDnumber folders in steamapps/workshop/content/107410 as local mod folders. Not sure if those will be updated with every update on Steam workshop.

[fringe salmon]

im dying everytime i switch weapons

like i flyy away

example

[golden nova]

broken mods

[fringe salmon]

i got alot of gge weapon swap errors

even tho i dont have it installed

[golden nova]

you probably have a modpack inside that has that mod in it already

121_devgru thing suggests that at least

[fringe salmon]

how would i fix it

if yk

[golden nova]

so how to fix:

1. get rid of the mod pack
2. disable half of your mods and see if it works

if it doesn't repeat point 2 and unload half of your half

or you can start from adding mods one by one and test it every time until it breaks again, this will help you find the broken mod

[fringe salmon]

time to clear my schedule haha

[fringe salmon]

fixed it by reinstalling the 120gb mod pack

lol

ty

[ocean cosmos]

how on earth did you do it that quickly

[fringe salmon]

gigabit internet

lol

[zealous ledge]

so im using VCOM and lambs danger ai mods that are supposed to enhance AI's abilites to find cover and whatnot, but whenever i play as squad lead and me and my ai teammates are getting shot at they just stay in formation

but whenever i dont play as squad lead the ai does just fine

[ocean cosmos]

thats cos youre the squad lead and are supposed to tell them what to do

[umbral narwhal]

Also AI are much more obviously bad when they're in your squad :P

Staying in formation under fire sounds like CARELESS behaviour though.

[calm mesa]

Anyone here use Serverblend for Arma 3?

Or anyone know how to fix this?

Steam Query data overflow, Mods/Signatures will not be correctly received by clients. Remove unused mods or change your server configuration to allow for more data to be sent.

[umbral narwhal]

Use fewer mods or increase steamProtocolMaxDataSize in server.cfg, I think.

[wintry mural]

https://paste-bin.xyz/969272

I have enabled logs and this is where they have left off, Stuck on Receiving mission files, antistasi plus,

Ive been debugging this for days now, I really want this server to work

[fathom canopy]

if you run server with apex can non apex owners play in the server?

[golden nova]

as long as mission is not on Tanoa then yes

[fathom canopy]

great

ty

[pearl sorrel]

when you say stuck, do you mean you waited longer than say 10 minutes for the game/scripts to load? (10 being enough time for even a HDD/poor performing PC to load the files)

[fringe salmon]

@steady hawk Ok so this is the problem

I am supposed to have that option if I have PBO manager installed, but I do not have that option and its missing.

[steady hawk]

Okay this time I rephrase myself, I never meant to say the same thing over and over again, but the thing is: why Addon Builder doesn't work this time?

[fringe salmon]

Here is the problem with addon builder

[steady hawk]

Tip: you can post text and picture same time

[quaint jewel]

That menu registration might fail, maybe you need to reinstall pbo manager.
But also you should be able to just open pbo manager first, and then pack it from there, instead of using the right click option

[fringe salmon]

If I use addon builder this happens, if I make 2 factions via addon builder, and load them, 1 will be absent

[steady hawk]

Why you recommend to use it to pack

[uncut trellis]

one of them not being there means your configs are faulty

[steady hawk]

Sounds like the issue is the config itself, not Addon Builder nor pboManager

[fringe salmon]

Now the solution I did was this, send my cfg files to someone with a working PBO manager, he packed it via pboManager and it worked, both custom factions are showing and the problem above was solved. But of course I cannot just keep relying on him to pack it for me all the time. I need to get to the root of the problem.

[uncut trellis]

I feel like you will not accept the answer that your need to fix your configs.

[fringe salmon]

I did just that, I double checked everything on my configs and all is good, its the ARMA addon builder that was the problem.

[uncut trellis]

It means its not all good.

I dont know how else to tell this

[fringe salmon]

Ok then let me show you.

[uncut trellis]

sorry, I dont have time to debug someones configs.

[fringe salmon]

Alright

[uncut trellis]

you can link them sure

but dont expect immediate answers

[fringe salmon]

Cfg patches of custom faction number 1

[fringe salmon]

Cfg patches of custom faction number 2

[lime sphinx]

inb4 no binarization and no unique addon prefix in addon builder and autogen.hpp/CfgPatches.hpp of both factions overwrite each other

[fringe salmon]

Lets talk here so that if anyone in the future encounters my problem they can read this

[fringe salmon]

Yes I remember someone telling me that it overwrites each other, so what am I supposed to do specifically may I ask? I will try it and see if it works

[lime sphinx]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/737175675818999898/1050087381241434203/image.png left - binarize option, right - addon prefix option

[fringe salmon]

Hold on let me try this and I will get back to you, thanks btw

[fringe salmon]

Oh but before I start, what about Addon Prefix? what am I supposed to write? I never touched that before

[lime sphinx]

just enable binarize for now

[fringe salmon]

That is what I do when I pack

[lime sphinx]

i think prefix is only really needed if you want to include some resource files into your mod in organized way (models/textures/whatever)

[ocean cosmos]

prefix is generally in order to avoid conflicts with other mods

generally

[lime sphinx]

well, if the entire mod basically binarizes into single "config.bin" i doubt there's a big danger of file conflict :3

[fringe salmon]

In the prefix what am I supposed to put or type etc, I usually leave that blank I think

[ocean cosmos]

literally anything

oprjqpoejqpoej works

[ocean cosmos]

moreso classnames and such

[lime sphinx]

nah, i'm talking PBO prefix. In my understanding it's used as a path prefix for, basically, virtual file system the PBOs contents get accessed as.

[ocean cosmos]

oh right yeah

[lime sphinx]

either leave empty or fill with any path unique to that specific addon 🤷‍♂️

packing your files with and without binarizing from separate differently named folders with empty prefix in Addon Builder results in both addons making a listed config changes on my machine

at least creating the proper entries in CfgGroups, i've never bothered to check for other changed classes

[night igloo]

https://youtu.be/Q540Xb92VOI Still no luck, tried pretty much all ingame settings, launcher settings and Radeon control panel settings. my friend gave up

[golden nova]

since your video has mods in it, I assume you have checked if this issue persists in vanilla, no mods - some "boosting" addons do weird stuff to change rendering distance of grass etc, maybe one does whatever it can be seen on the video

and it doesn't look like "bad" rendering, it just shows all potential LODs for visible objects

[night igloo]

It happens in vanilla too

Everything goes into what appears is like the minimum LOD

Not only trees but objects and characters

[golden nova]

make screenshots of your radeon and launcher settings, upload them to imgur and share a link here

[night igloo]

I'll ask him @muted obsidian

[golden nova]

I'd also recommend doing a benchmark test of GPU and the drive their game is on, if reinstalling the game didn't help then this might be a hardware issue

[night igloo]

Both screenshots are going to be in Spanish, do you mind or should he make the effort to change it into English?

[golden nova]

as long as an OCR translator can read it I'll be able to read it too

[muted obsidian]

Here's the link
https://imgur.com/a/C9rx51W

we already tried putting every option off and then some of them on

[umbral narwhal]

Shouldn't be anything to do with GPU settings. Arma picks which LOD to use, not the driver.

Might be a response to thinking that it's running out of GPU memory, I guess...

[golden nova]

Geforce Experience (and Radeon Live too probably) can externally override your game's settings

faulty driver could break one of these options or the value was changed once and now it doesn't "undo"

[umbral narwhal]

Some of them, sure. I can't think of any mechanism to override LOD levels though. That's just the game picking a different mesh to render.

Oh, I guess if it's just textures, not models

[muted obsidian]

Models too sometimes, but is mostly textures

[umbral narwhal]

Do you have an example for models doing that? Because that'd be a very different problem.

[muted obsidian]

Unfortunately not

[umbral narwhal]

Does it change anything if you untick the video memory limit?

[muted obsidian]

i remember it happened when a zeus tp me from a place to another very far

I tried already with memory limit on and off, what i notice is that the textures start to have a bad render after i click "Ok" in settings

[umbral narwhal]

I suspect that if you just wait on that settings screen rather than pressing OK the textures downgrade too.

[muted obsidian]

i will see

yup

[umbral narwhal]

@muted obsidian In the BIOS for those CPUs, can you lock the amount of GPU memory allocated?

[muted obsidian]

I don't know if i can do that. Or even how to access to the bios

[golden nova]

In order to access BIOS on a Windows PC, you must press your BIOS key during setup, set by your manufacturer which could be F10, F2, F12, F1, or DEL. If your PC goes through its power on self-test startup too quickly, you can also enter BIOS through Windows 10's advanced start menu recovery settings.

[quaint jewel]

all settings including the "ATOC" one?
AMD has had issues with that in the past

One solution might be to go back to a older driver version, assuming this problem started appearing after an update

[half cloak]

so is there any update on the whole thing with subscribed mods not showing in the launcher? Because now it seems like not even mod updates are getting through to the launcher/Arma, and I just took all day and night to reinstall some 800gb of Arma mods and the game itself, so it should all be fresh

Does anyone know of a fix? I've tried basically everything I can think of now, my last resort was a full install and that still hasn't worked

All of the data is downloading, I can go into the Steam workshop content folder and access it, so it's 100% an Arma problem and I don't know what to do to fix it

adding the folders/mods manually every time I download something or update a mod just isn't an option, especially since I'm usually responsible for making my unit modpack presets

[ocean cosmos]

Have you tried setting the watched folder to wherever steam is downloading things to

[half cloak]

Wouldn't that create duplicates of all the stuff that is showing up already, though?

[quaint jewel]

See #arma3_launcher please

I'm looking for someone to send me logs

[half cloak]

oh I didn't actually see that channel, sorry

[night igloo]

I don't think is worth pinging whoever was interested in our problem with Nikkox but the issue has been found

It was the hard drive acting up, which is weird since it's the only game that shows issues and hard drive is new

[umbral narwhal]

Hmm. Maybe everyone has a dying HD and Steam just changed some retry rules :P

[quaint jewel]

Weirdly rendering tree's is not related to steam tho

[umbral narwhal]

oh, I'm mixing people up.

[lime sphinx]

after seeing some other games changelogs i'm not sure about boundaries anymore. "Fixed the weapon damage to be consistent across different tilesets and daytimes" (c)

[umbral narwhal]

Yeah well, the dying HD was a lot more plausible for the workshop issue than the tree rendering :P

[lime sphinx]

i've seen things of such (or close) effect in at least 2 separate products

[serene falcon]

facewear has just stopped working on my server, all of it not just modded stuff

any ideas?

[steady hawk]

Define facewear not working

[serene falcon]

as in facewear just doesnt show at all

[steady hawk]

How about in vanilla game?

[serene falcon]

its not the mods from my knowledge as the same modset hasnt had an issue until just now for some entirely random reason

[steady hawk]

A Mod can be updated in any day, would include anything

[serene falcon]

as well isnt just modded items that dont appear, base game stuff isnt either

[steady hawk]

I am saying that try in vanilla game, no Mods

[serene falcon]

Tho that being said

It is the mods in some regard because it's an issue for everyone and it affects eden too

[steady hawk]

You say it is not a Mod issue then it is?

[serene falcon]

Yeah thought more logically about it then before

[steady hawk]

Hm

Is it happening regard the mission? Or happening everywhere?

[serene falcon]

Everywhere

For everyone

[steady hawk]

Then find the faulty Mod

[serene falcon]

Figured as much

[steady hawk]

The pinned should be the good method

[serene falcon]

Wasn't mods

Was the ai I was using for players

How tf they made that particular ai not display face wear is beyond me

[steady hawk]

As long as it is a Mod, it is a Mod, no?

[uncut trellis]

Ai is the non player units. Character/unit is what can be player or ai

[serene falcon]

Ok lemme clarify

When making the mission, the unsung Australia npc I placed and set to playable doesn't display facewear

Because after finding out I checked other npcs and it did

[uncut trellis]

That would make it a mod issue yes

Could be a bug or intentional for that particular unit for some design reason.

[fossil rain]

I have an issue with ArmA3 since I reinstalled it on a different drive. All my Steam Mods arent getting shown in the Launcher anymore and ArmA3 also doesnt create the "!Workshop" folder in the ArmA3 directory. All mods are downloaded via steam and also exist in the correct steam workshop folder. I was unable to find any help online regarding this issue. I have already redownloaded ArmA3 4 times today + 400GB of mods and I would really prefer not having to do it yet again.

[pine kite]

Check the recent messages in #arma3_launcher . Dedmen found a bug in the launcher related to this. There is a workaround by replacing the executable. Full fix is in the works.

[fossil rain]

Thank you very much, I will have a look!

[fossil rain]

It works! Thanks a lot you just saved my day.

[pine kite]

Thank Dedmen

[quaint jewel]

Game name is Arma 3, not "ArmA"

[fossil rain]

Hm but isnt it Armed Assault 3?

[quaint jewel]

No

"Arma" is one word, not an abbreviation

[fossil rain]

Interesting, that's what I always got told.

And I think it also says so on Wikipedia

[quaint jewel]

The first game's name was "Arma: Armed Assault"
Which doesn't stand for "Armed Assaul: Armed Assault"

[fossil rain]

Makes sense yeah

[quaint jewel]

Wikipedia was wrong for a while, but right now it seems to be right

[fossil rain]

Okay

[pine kite]

Why use 3 letters from the first word, and only 1 of the second. Doesn't make sense.

[fallen tendon]

How come every time I try to play arma 3 I load in fine but I am unable to play because of the error "ace_xm157.pbo is outdated'?

[umbral narwhal]

@fallen tendon Repair ACE3.

[fallen tendon]

How? I downloaded it through the steam workshop btw

[steady hawk]

Launcher > Select ACE > Right Click > Repair

[umbral narwhal]

First try repairing in the launcher.

If that doesn't work there's a plan B.

[winged ridge]

hey all got a really strange error. Though i've seen it all but clearly i haven't

So recently i had to get a new hard drive HDD to ne SSD. So i purged arma and installed onto the new SSD... well after installing it, none of my mods appear at all. Even though i can still see and access the !Workshop folder from the previous hard drive (also a SSD). I verified game cache and cleared my steam download cache. Nothing. So i uninstall and reinstall it onto the original SSD drive and low and behold.... the launcher/game doesn't recognize any of the still downloaded mods. Hell it won't even allow me to access the files other than to just look at them.

I have since purged all of my mods and tried downloading a few just to see if i can get it to work. Steam is recording that i have mods downloaded but it won't tell me where nor will the launcher acknowledge them. I've attached some photos for reference.

Well now tonight its gotten even weirder because steam is bugging out saying that the installation folders are missing. Or at least the download is trying to start but isn't able to as shown in the gif.

https://i.gyazo.com/746b2a2f26bf0b39770ce7e458c90862.mp4

does anyone have any idea as to what in the f*** is going on?

[umbral narwhal]

Is it possible that you're subscribed to >1000 mods, scenarios and compositions? :P

[winged ridge]

i have a ton of comps

did have 400 mods but all the mods are purged

should i also purge the comps?

[umbral narwhal]

what does "purged" mean?

There's a recent issue with the launcher vs steam where it refuses to add new mods to the launcher (or create the links in !Workshop).

There's a fixed version of the launcher exe in pins in #arma3_launcher if you want to try it.

Either that or clearing your subscriptions down below 1000 will probably work.

[winged ridge]

purge = unsubscribe from all the mods

i'm moving the arma folder from my C: drive to the new D: drive. so once that's done i'll try the .exe posted in the launcher channel

[winged ridge]

yup

so i purged/unsubscribed from all mods/missions/comps and it downloaded new mods no problem

gotta keep the count below 1000 it seems

[bronze river]

below 800 just to be safe

[golden nova]

I noticed severe sound "popping" when I'm near certain vehicles and/or there's more than one vehicle in my vicinity. It's caused by the engine sounds and I wonder why, I haven't had that issue or it wasn't that noticeable before A3 2.10. I have Audiotechnica's MH40X connected to Berhinger UM2, 16 bit 48000Hz format, lowered source volume to ~60 for every app and windows sound and I'm only adjusting sound on my interface.

I have tried different volume ratio, checked all the cables, everything's in perfect condition, did some tests with sounds from other games, youtube etc and no such popping at all. I'm out of ideas tbh and that's really annoying

[vagrant mason]

Me and my friend are having the same issue, i've had it for about a month, he's just recently run into it.

When trying to download a mod from the steam workshop, it installs via steam(Blue Bar at 100% and arma finishes validating), Yet in the arma launcher itself, the mod doesn't show up at all. a secondary issue that is an accessory to this, is when importing a modlist, it will infinitely show the "Subscribing" loading bar, and NEVER ENDS.

Any foresight would be drastically helpful

[pine kite]

Check ix#arma3_launcher for a recent related hotfix

[lime socket]

so i normally run a solid 40-60 fps in Arma

until vehicles start firing

hand weapons firing doesnt do much

but as soon as more than 2 vehicles (such as 2 tanks i tested last night) start firing at once, the fps drops to 15-20, any reasons why this might be the case?

(their machine guns were firing, that is)

similar story for helicopters

[uncut trellis]

modded game?

[lime socket]

yeah

[uncut trellis]

usually mods are the cause of odd behavior

[lime socket]

well do you think it is the tracer stuff causing the fps massacre?

it just occured to me that vehicles fire a lot of tracer rounds

[uncut trellis]

try without any mods first

[lime socket]

ill have to do that

actually, speaking of mods

i have a bunch of semi random AI mods that suppoooooosedly are all compatible

but i highly doubt i made great choices

do you have any recommendations for a set of good AI mods? (or a single one if it is sufficient to make the AI less brain dead)

[uncut trellis]

sorry no, I've had no need for them

but mods can easily break eachother

[lime socket]

ah yes, the good ol "i have friends" strategy 😆

[uncut trellis]

not that exclusively

I mod a lot

and play scenarios that work alright

[lime socket]

ah i see

would you happen to know of any good ACE servers?

im not very well versed in multiplayer yet but would like to get into it

[uncut trellis]

no, I dont use ACE much either 😅

[lime socket]

🤣

i grabbed it because it has a lot of fun realism stuff

what mods do you tend to use?

[vernal sundial]

I'm having a problem setting up a rhino x56 joystick. whenever I pull back on the stick I look up and cant see where I'm going.

[pine kite]

Then check the config/controls/ keybinds menu for view, and remove any analog axis for that direction. Then check if for the desired type (heli, plane, vehicle) your directional controls have the proper axis assigned.

[fringe salmon]

Hi. My dedicated server spits out this in the log. Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?

[umbral narwhal]

ACE medical internals complaining about something that's not supposed to happen.

Maybe running unusual ACE medical settings, or there's some other mod interfering with it.

[fringe salmon]

Thank you. I'll see what's up.

Does anyone use LinuxGSM to host an Arma 3 server? And if so, do you know where I can find the .rpt file? I can't find it in username/logs/gameserver because there is no such gameserver folder.

[umbral narwhal]

Linux A3 uses something like ~/.local/share/Arma 3 for the profile folder,

[fringe salmon]

Appreciated!

[zealous ledge]

after installing POLPOX and a few static animation mods, whenever i hit "play as character" my game loads in and as soon as it does it freezes.

[steady hawk]

Again POLPOX is my name, not the Mod name

And elaborate precisely. Who is the player? Who is the character? Did you added an animation to the character?

And what does it mean freeze?

[golden nova]

My POLPOX is borked

[zealous ledge]

So I used a base arma 3 NATO unit, no animation and as soon as i load into the map as the character the game freezes

im loading back in with POLPOX base and artwork

[steady hawk]

nu joke is allowed here

[zealous ledge]

The base unit was the only unit on the map aswell

no other systems, props, markers, nothing.

[steady hawk]

“Base unit”?

[zealous ledge]

An arma 3 NATO unit that came with the base game.

not modded in

[steady hawk]

Okay, then what does freeze mean? CTD?

[zealous ledge]

the game completely freezes, i cant puch any buttons, all the cpu,gpu,memory is frozen

[steady hawk]

Elaborate: what is frozen? Arma 3? Or your computer?

[zealous ledge]

arma 3

"arma 3 not responding"

[steady hawk]

Then can I forget what you say

all the cpu,gpu,memory is frozen
?

[zealous ledge]

yes all the cpu , gpu VRAM, and memory being used by the game is frozen.

so if arma 3 is using up 60 percent of my CPU it freezes at 60

[steady hawk]

You mentioned it like the entire computer has frozen

[zealous ledge]

depends on how you take it

my arma froze while loading in im retrying now

[steady hawk]

But anyways that's why I told you to elaborate

[zealous ledge]

do you know of any current mod conflicts POLPOX base and artwork may have?

[steady hawk]

I don't know any

And which I don't mean there is no Mods that can conflict and crash the game

There is always possibility to crash it

[zealous ledge]

I dont have any mods off the top of my head that would conflict

my arma 3 RPT doesnt have anything of use

[steady hawk]

It doesn't matter that you say so

If you wonder always show the exact Mods list and rpt

[zealous ledge]

so my arma is now freezing upon entering the main menu.

i will have to continue this tomorrow because it is extremely late where i am

[grand ivy]

hello there, my arma keeps crashing because it says steam authentification failed, when i bought the game the first 2 weeks were perfectly fine and ever since i have this issue - i think my internet is good enough for multiplayer but idk how to solve this problem, it's very discouraging when i get kicked every 20min in a server :/
i reinstalled arma 2 times already and even have a "profiling" thing on it now but the problem remains

[humble ridge]

Hello, I hope you’re doing well! I recently came across an issue I believe is causing gameplay issues. Basically, anytime I launch Arma 3, steam starts downloading something and it causes my game to lag/stutter. This lasts for only around 2 minutes and is constant, and I get a few fps drops/stutter randomly during gameplay. I wanted to ask if there was anyways I can disable the downloading that occurs every time I launch Arma 3? I have tried disabling “allow background downloads” in the properties but it doesn’t change the downloading that occurs upon game launch. Thanks in advance for any help!

[onyx meadow]

Hi, I've been trying to play with my friends and we can't ever seem to find each others session. Is there anything specific that we might be doing wrong or something we need to do so we can play together.

this was in my RPT

sorry for the @

i didnt mean to tag u

[steady hawk]

It doesn't matter that you say so
If you wonder always show the exact Mods list and rpt

Also I've never heard that CBA and Artwork Supporter conflicts and makes the game crash

[umbral narwhal]

Lots of things don't support CBA extended event handlers. It's a "normal error".

[zealous ledge]

yeah i just fixed it

[steady hawk]

And what it was?

[patent kettle]

It's Land_ classes specifically, for performance reasons.

[umbral narwhal]

If you load ACE it reports it for Car, Tank and Air...

[steady hawk]

Also please elaborate, it is pretty rude not to post the actual answer and just "case closed, thanks"

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”

[steady hawk]

Look above might help

[zealous ledge]

I disabled a bunch of ai mods and stuff that i dont need to take screenshots

there

im trying to use syntax to make my unit shoot, but i keep getting errors "unit combat_pose68 is unable to fire" or something like that

[steady hawk]

It is something you don't solve, just use other pose

[wide cloud]

The game has vanished?

and idek where do i direct the mods to

seeing as the mods dont have a folder to go to

since the arma3 stopped existing

after a accidental purge of the pc

[uncut trellis]

You seem to have managed to break something pretty bad

[wide cloud]

Oh yeh i accdidently deleted steam

my keyboard light turned off and accidently deleted the entire steam file

when i pushed the wrong button

[uncut trellis]

Well time to reinstall stuff then

[wide cloud]

but how idk where the game files have gone

[uncut trellis]

[wide cloud]

idek if want to push the play button

I have no clue what horrors i will be faced with if i push it

[uncut trellis]

It probably installed somewhere else

[wide cloud]

seeing as the game files have gone somewhere

[uncut trellis]

If there is game file somewhere it will start it. If not it will error

This isn't really Arma related though

[wide cloud]

its arma3

[uncut trellis]

More a user error kind of thing

[supple needle]

Good day gentlemen! I'm not sure if this is the correct place to do it, but my past two missions have been...Not going as planned.
Essentially what happens, is everything is all good in Eden, I put it on the dedi and suddenly all the infantry AI are falling through the map spazzing out (or just flat out dying).
Now, you would probably at this point say "The map hasn't been loaded on the server", but that's not the case! If I start spawning in AI as zeus, everything is good. (Which does not happen if the map has not been loaded properly!)
The players have no issues with the map, and neither does the "server" in console.
It's only "pre-placed AI" are dying on their own. Anyone with any ideas by any chance?

[ocean cosmos]

What happens if you spawn an AI in with scripting commands?

[mental river]

how did you place the AI?

[supple needle]

Haven't tried it with scripting 🤔

[mental river]

falling through the map
never seen this happen

[supple needle]

Just by plopping em down via Eden

[mental river]

have you placed them on objects?

[supple needle]

Negative

I can record it and send it later (unfortunately it's 15 min before my OP lol)

[mental river]

which map are you using btw?

[zenith bough]

still cant figure out how to work my server

Ports are open

need help

[supple needle]

First one was Djalka, now it's Archipelago

Also interestingly, all the "Hide terrain" modules disappeared as well from the mission when played

[mental river]

never heard of them
and I've never seen or heard of the issue you're having...

[supple needle]

Great...

Arma really do be sending me to my villain arc though :D

[teal lark]

Can someone tell me what is causing this error?

[mental river]

some F/A18 mod error. it seems it hasn't been able to initialize a variable for some reason (e.g. missing dependency)

[lament arch]

hello

I have been working on a mod and I have a slight glitch where the vehicle I'm trying to texture will only show the default texture and not even an missing texture
I know the file name is not correct but I'm using a file direct that I know will work

attached i have the config and also a pic of the vehicle next to a vehicle that is working

[uncut trellis]

usually its typo in config

or something missing

[lament arch]

what could be missing? because i have ((class O_MRAP_02_F)) are there any other things that are required?

[uncut trellis]

mrap might be using the texturelist function which you need to overwrite for your own variant

otherwise its inherited and applied

future modding questions are best put on the _makers channels

[lament arch]

oh my bad

[wintry rivet]

has anybody experienced an issue in the respawn screen where you can't press the respawn button. I have a cursor, but it flickers off and on.

I've tried to verify, and fully reinstall the game.
Could it be a profile issue maybe?

[ocean cosmos]

did you die with zeus open

if so press the keybind for it again

[wintry rivet]

ahh that might've been it. I'll have to give that a shot. ty!

[torn crest]

reasonable

But I've tried clearing the cache, unsubscribing from the mods then clearing the cache, just about everything I could think of

[steady hawk]

Well I think I've never heard of that message. What says the error, Steam or Arma 3 Launcher?

[torn crest]

It is inside of steam

[steady hawk]

Download screen right?

[torn crest]

yeah

I could give you a screenshot

[steady hawk]

Have you tried Googling and follow the solutions?

[torn crest]

Yeah i did that for about 3 and a half hours and got no where

[steady hawk]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/255710/discussions/0/2251182219839689513/
Like this?

[torn crest]

Ill take a gander

so the first part of it didnt work so im trying to do the second part but it says "Hover over the "Missing Download Files" text and note the Steam ID. (the string of numbers)." for which it doesnt pop up with anything when I hover over the error message

[steady hawk]

Arma 3 is 107410 IIRC

If you need to make sure go check the store page and check the ID in the URL

Yep I was right, the 6 digit is the ID

[torn crest]

okay so i go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop and I dont find the "255710 folder" it speaks of

I just have "content", "downloads", and "temp"

[steady hawk]

Replace the 256710 to 107410

[torn crest]

it already is that number

but there is no folder that is just numbers

[steady hawk]

Then try to search in the Explorer

Top right search field

[torn crest]

and search the 256710?

[steady hawk]

No

[torn crest]

jesus

[steady hawk]

107410, it is the Arma 3's number, 256--- is Cities Skylines

Just replace every 256--- the guide says

[torn crest]

So when I go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop there are 3 folders called "content", "downloads", and "temp" and all of them have a folder named 107410

does it want me to delete it in all of them?

its not too specific

[steady hawk]

You can rename 107410 into something like "backup" if you don't want to lose every Mods pbos you have

[torn crest]

So I can just rename it or do I also have to move it to my other ssd?

[steady hawk]

Try renaming method

[torn crest]

okay

So it tells me to delete the Downloads folder inside the workshop folder as the first step so I did that and then I renamed the 107--- folder and then as soon as I start up Steam it queues up 26.8 gbs of downloads put together

and gives me the same message

I then just tried deleting the Downloads folder and then deleting the download cache in steam and then as soon as I launch Arma 3 it queues up the 4.6 gb mod that gives me the error msg again

[uncut trellis]

have you tried restarting your computer?

[torn crest]

Like before I try launching everything again?

[uncut trellis]

yes

[torn crest]

No but I’ll give it a shot rn

[wintry rivet]

yeah no such luck just by the way

wasn't in zeus and it won't accept any keybind or click

(can't even open the esc menu)

[pine kite]

You would have to press multiple key combinations to select all files and folders and drag the files into another folder somehow. And it being in Program Files (x86) then Windows would have shown a popup to confirm if you wanted to move/delete files with a User Account Control popup.
Long story short. Try to remove the game Arma 3 from the Steam App library tab, right click on it and select something called "Manage" (might be translated differently for you), then remove. Reinstall after that. It will take a while to download and install, but your current state of it seems to be majorly borked.

[pine kite]

Start posting some specifics of what you are trying to do, what is not working, what you did do and what error you got. Then others have something to chew on and maybe respond. You can't expect help based on no information. Your other messages give no indication of ever having had a problem. In fact, you have been inviting others to your server. So that would imply it was working.

[torn crest]

Sorry for the late response @uncut trellis and @steady hawk, but doing all those steps then restarting my computer before I try to launch anything still did not work

It still just glitches out hard every time

[uncut trellis]

It might require messaging steam tech support

Could be some sort of steam bug

You have free disk space right?

Could also run scandisk to check drive health in case there are some bad sectors the download keeps hitting

[barren flare]

Hello, when I'm trying to launch the game, I'm receiving this error

[uncut trellis]

broken or non installed mod (CBA)

[barren flare]

I fixed it

[zealous ledge]

hey i tried to make a graphics preset for polpox artwork supporter, but i cant figure out how to do it

[teal lark]

What exactly does this mean?

[uncut trellis]

You are trying to run a mod that requires the mentioned other mod that you are not running

[scarlet schooner]

Hey - mission files saved in my mpmissions folder (either saved from in game or copied from steamsaves) are not available to load in editor. It seems to change depending on what modlist I have loaded, but the missions aren't specifically linked to any mods.

[golden nova]

some mods create dependencies even if you don't place anything within your mission. When opening scenario in editor, it should tell you what are you missing.

if not, just load your game with the desired modset, open a fresh scenario in editor and merge the "old" mission with it

not everything will be copied but still

[scarlet schooner]

Thanks - but like i said, I can't even see the mission as an option in my editor's 'open' window.

[hot sapphire]

I've been trying to beat Altis Requiem again, but it keeps saying I have failed the collateral damage objective, even though I have taken great care to avoid driving or targeting anything remotely close to any civilian or civilian object. Any ideas or is my game just deciding to be a pill?

Please @ me if you have any ideas

[wintry rivet]

trying my luck again, any ideas why I can't click the respawn button?
it seems to be something odd with my cursor flickering off and on.
Even trying alt+enter to change from borderless -> full screen -> windowed doesn't seem to help.

I've tried a recommendation from somebody else trying to toggle from zeus with no luck. (seems to happen in or out of zeus, nor can I open the esc/debug menu)
The initial spawn/respawn works.

[worn jungle]

First, try without mods.
And if it works.
Then you can do #arma3_troubleshooting message

So you get rid of a broken mod, this is usually the reason why some options/commands don't work properly

[wintry rivet]

yeah I can take a peek. Thanks!

[versed ledge]

Need some assistance with troubleshooting an arma 3 server (one I own) I'm using a Project Life framework and it works everything installed and starts up but if I turn the server off and add a new mod to that folder it goes ahead and once you load in it is stuck loading and nothing happens and it freezes arma and on the server console it just says reading mission. And without any mods it says the main mod i have that is signed and has a key says there isn't any signature key and such??

[pine kite]

There is an issue with USB-based devices (including bluetooth based) that often disconnects from the OS and causes Arma 3 to get confused about it's state. See if you can attach a 3.5mm analog jack plug and test if that works better. A better description is in the pinned messages.

[pine kite]

The server wherever you buy (actually rent) it is still going to be windows or linux based. So you might find out you need to know specific about how to configure it. Anyway, without you getting into the specifics of the question we can't help.

Hello, I recently discovered an annoying problem I’ve been having regarding subscribed compositions lagging my game on startup (severity depending on how many compositions I am subscribed to). I wanted to ask if there are any solutions/fix I can make in order to solve this problem? Thanks!

[uncut trellis]

Only by subscribing to less compositions at a time

Perhaps create composition collections so you can easily swap which ones you use

[humble ridge]

Hey HorribleGoat! And I have tested it with fewer subscribed compositions (4) and the game still seems to lag (although for less time, about 30 seconds or so). Is this a known issue? Is this something that can be patched? Thanks for response!

[uncut trellis]

Then it sounds like some other issue than compositions

Maybe even hardware failure

Or slow disk read speed

[humble ridge]

Im afraid that’s most likely the case. I have launched the game offline and the issue was resolved, so I’m unsure if it’s a potential problem with my steam also. But thanks for your time boss, have a good one!

[pale linden]

My friend will host a VLAN server with some sort of modded mission loaded up, (usually dynamic recon ops, or antistasi) and once me and my other friends join, the role select menu doesn’t show any roles or teams, and in the top left all of the information on the mission is blank. We figured out after waiting a while or restarting the teams will show up, but after we select and load in, host loads perfectly fine but everyone else either doesn’t load, or gets stuck at “waiting for host”

[grim rapids]

Hi folks i have a problem with mission making. Pretty much finished to building the mission yesterday and today i decided to test it. But as soon as the mission loads, arma crashes. Every single time. The changes i made yesterday in the mission were really simple, fixing some triggers and adding a smoke grenade module connected to a trigger, that’s what i’ve done. Before these changes everything was running fine. Someone know what’s going on or had the same annoying issue???
I’m not using sqf files or description files so i don’t have a clue what’s the problem.
The mod list for this mission is GM and SOG cdlcs, EasyFia, Dmorchard crossover mod and Stl generic retextures for GM. In the rpt crash files it seems there are a bunch of errors related to “local variables in global spaces” (if i remember right) and errors related to the gmx chdzk mod which i have loaded but not used for the mission 🤔 Now, after verifying game files and mod files Arma still crashes and the only errors that came up were these ones: https://pastebin.com/NNAiENhe What does these errors mean exactly?

[grim rapids]

After deleting some empty composition folder the mission starts, and after 2:32 minutes it crashed again

!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.

[worn jungle]

@copper storm ☝️

[copper storm]

I tried the first step, but for the second step, I don’t even have a mode installed.

[worn jungle]

Have you check your GPU driver state?
Does that with other steam games?

[worldly dust]

how do i get 3rd person

[uncut trellis]

Default key is numpad enter

[worldly dust]

okay thanks

[timid quest]

Can someone help me with fixing my arma 3 problem? My friend is hosting a private server and 3 other people can join his server but it doesn't pop up when i go to the server list... We're trying to play antistasi and we made sure we have the same mods installed. I feel like i have tried pretty much every advice i have found on forums with the same issue. Please help i have been trying for the past 2 hours and i cant find the issue.

[pine kite]

Make sure there are no filter settings that excludes his server. And make sure to check in the Internet tab of the server browser. Preferably the Launcher's server browser, as that can still download/enable mods before you start the game.

Also, can you even see other 3rd party servers and join them?

[timid quest]

I do see other 3rd party servers yes and i dont have any filters active

[pine kite]

But have you tried to join them (those without passwords), just like that one of your friend's?

[timid quest]

Yeah and it allowed me entry

idk man im going to bed its late. just gonna try again tomorrow

[pine kite]

I haven't got a clue why you would not see his server in the list when others can. I mean, there are around 5000 in the world. It might take a while for his to seep through and show up.

20:38:31 Warning Message: Addon 'arm_gossi_fixed' requires addon 'arm_common'

anyone know what modpack arm_common is from? it's causing my dedicated server to not work.

[ocean cosmos]

dont use modpacks, use steam workshop mods

[trail verge]

that's what i meant

[golden nova]

Ask the mod maker then

[shut swan]

Is this the correct forum to ask, not sure. Trying to get squad.xml to work in a static CDN environment. I have the files uploaded to a github repo, and using statically.io to route a CDN request. I can see squad.xml in my browser, as well as the squad.dtd, but A3 does not seem to recognize it when I enter the custom path in my user profile.

[wet solar]

Certain colors in game are just "wrong" NVGs are grey. There is a brownish tint to the game. If i change my resolution to anything else or open settings it goes away. Any idea what it could be

[uncut trellis]

Mods? Messed up video settings?

[quaint jewel]

Arma might not follow redirects

[odd bridge]

My frames keep going from 60 to 47, my graphics card is the RTX 3070 TI (No mods)

[umbral narwhal]

seems pretty good

[odd bridge]

Ends after 5 minutes for some reason with a stable 60.

[ocean cosmos]

Sounds like a poorly configured mod or just one that takes a while to initialise

[pearl sorrel]

Are your steam downloads doing anything?

[patent kettle]

Possible, I can only say it works fine when hosted via GitHub Pages.

[odd bridge]

Not that i knew of, i had steam closed.

[lean stratus]

why cant this lock??? (ping if solution)

[shut swan]

lock on what?

[lean stratus]

laster target

[shut swan]

been a minute since I used that. it looks like it is, what else do you want it to do? not exactly a medium or even "long" range weapon.

[shut swan]

could be. can I provide full paths for the dtd and paa files as well?

[lean stratus]

it should have a dot in the middle

i only can get a lock on the drone i used, not the laser target

[flint spear]

hey someone using acre2 with dedicated server? cause i have problem i dont have idea what is wrong mod is working but in configurations addons server side i cant save settings in my local server working good

[wet solar]

Messed up video settings?

Sorry?

As soon as I open pause menue it goes back to normal

And when i close it back to wrong colors

[golden nova]

It's your mods fault then, any postprocessing added often if not always works only "in game", pause menu and any hardcoded interfaces will temporary disable it

Might be recolor, might be anything you use so yeah, fix your mods

[wet solar]

Right, will look into it

Any pointers??

[burnt imp]

Reset or change your RGB in the in game video options.

[wet solar]

I havent changed anything tho?

[burnt imp]

I just read more. Unload all of your mods.

[shut swan]

from the image you posted, it looks like the target is the laser dot, so really I do not know what you mean.

[frosty epoch]

hello was wondering how i can fix my game freezing at delivering data in arma 3 while joining servers

[lean stratus]

so why doesnt it lock?

[noble kayak]

After building my addon with HEMTT my game crashes with the following error:
17:55:52 ErrorMessage: File overthrow_main\campaign\description.ext, line 0: '.raP': '' encountered instead of '='
Is HEMTT somehow binarizing the description.ext file and if so, how can I prevent that?

[ocean cosmos]

ACE Discord -> HEMTT channel is probably better for this

Hi folks, i was just publishing my composition from the editor but an error pops up and basically says “failed to process, action accomplished”.. then when i check my workshop in steam the object that i uploaded is completely blank, no images, no description, no file at all.. what’s going on with this composition?

Did you try steam verify @minor egret

[brave hawk]

Yeah
Buy the game

just so you know, you can redeem yourself right now by buying it ON SALE

because guess what happens when you ask for support on a cracked version on the official server

[brave hawk]

going to buy it?

@minor egret?

@minor egret ooo, it's a yes or no question, Christmas spirit etc

[minor egret]

No

[tulip hinge]

Hey, I am attempting to port forward on an ATT router. As far as I am aware, the ATT gateway does not support Upnp and so I am trying to manually open the required ports, however I am not certain which fields require which numbers. In the ATT router menu I have, the menu has a global port range xyxy-xyxy and base port xyxy. It also asks for TCP, UDP, or TCP/UDP. I am not sure which numbers I need or which TCP, UDP I need.

[umbral narwhal]

Is that exactly what it calls the port options?

@tulip hinge

[tulip hinge]

There are two boxes side by side that say global port range, under those is one labeled base host port, and there is a drop down menu with the options TCP, UDP, and TCP/UDP

[umbral narwhal]

host port, ok.

It'll be 2302-2306 for the range and 2302 for the base host port.

Arma is allegedly UDP only but I don't think I've tested that and used TCP/UDP personally.

[tulip hinge]

Ok I'll try UDP first then

[rugged shuttle]

Looking for someone to help me fix a ts/tfar/acre problem on my dedicated server please!

[steady hawk]

Don't ask to ask just ask what the exact problem is

[lean stratus]

does anyone know why?

[humble wagon]

Line of direct sight for laser blocked? Tree/house/Hill in the way?

[fallen dune]

whats the best way to find which PBO something is in? like i want the cfgweapon class name of U_C_Uniform_Farmer_01_F the only way i know of finding that would be in the config for it

which idk which pbo its in

[steady hawk]

Why you want to look inside a PBO in the first place just to get className?

[fallen dune]

ye try to texture a uni

no entry 'bin/config.bin/cfgvehicles/papa_Uni.simulation' is the error im getting @steady hawk

[steady hawk]

What... how come the error relevant with the thing you want to do?

[fallen dune]

im trying to texture a uni for i configed it with the class name i saw in arsenal

which from what other are telling me its the cfgVehicle class name that im using

[steady hawk]

Then I'm almost certain of it is simply just a config error

[fallen dune]

yeah im inheriting the wrong class name

im trying to get the right one

[steady hawk]

Can't really say anything because I know nothing what exactly you want to do/get

[fallen dune]

very confused but ty i guess

[steady hawk]

So am I

[fallen dune]

im prob asking the question very wrong lol

basically i want to know what config a specific uni is in

[steady hawk]

1. Why?
2. Which you want to get?
3. In the first place, what is your config?

[lean stratus]

nope

[marsh heart]

I have a dedicated server running with antistasi but i cant get High Command to work, when I press CTRL+Space i can select my recruited squad but I dont have any markers on the map and cant order the squad at all.
Hosting the mission locally it works fine. Does the server need some specific config changes so that HC works?

[ocean cosmos]

Antistasi uses the base game HC feature

[marsh heart]

Ok but how do I get it to work on the server?

[ocean cosmos]

same as youd get it to work in vanilla game, need more than just one squad

if you have enhanced movement enabled and have that to ctrl+space try rebind HC

[marsh heart]

i dont have enhanced movement enabled and regarding the squads I have my own squad and the one I recruited. When I press ctrl+space it switches between them but it wont let me give them orders and when I look on the map i dont see the marker of any squad. I also did the same while hosting antistasi locally and there it works without a problem

[ocean cosmos]

then probably ask in the antistasi discord but its a base game feature so should work

[next narwhal]

An almost 7 hour upload on the Arma 3 Publisher got stopped due to the internet being disconnected for a few seconds (due to my mistake)

I am assuming it's the case at least because the "Publishing the content to Steam Workshop ..." is frozen in place.

Is there any way for me to recover this and not have to upload from scratch, or is maybe the upload still going but the visual is bugged?

If anybody knows who could answer this, please @ them

Nvm on all the above - 40 mins later the progress continued on it's own)

[signal onyx]

Whenever i shoot my weapons in arma 3 the bullets keep exploding mid air, can anyone help me?

[umbral narwhal]

Remove your mods.

[signal onyx]

and then what because i want to use my mods to play

[umbral narwhal]

Put half of them back again. See if it's still busted. If so remove half. If not, add half. Repeat until you find the broken shit.

[signal onyx]

Cheers

[fringe salmon]

Hello. I'm having an issue with our server where it does not allow our players to connect to the server. All we are shown is a simple error message like this one:
No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgMovesMaleSdr/States/AmovPercMstpSlowWrflDnon_AmovPsitMstpSlowWrflDnon.connectFrom'.
Does anyone know a fix for this?

[ocean cosmos]

very poorly configured mod or server needs client repairing

[lean stratus]

how do i move something in independent to opfor?

[ocean cosmos]

compat patch

[lean stratus]

how?

[ocean cosmos]

get classname of thing, write config entry for it, change side to opfor, make into pbo, make mod

[uncut trellis]

you can also just group a thing to other side unit and ungroup it

that changes the side

if you are making a mission that is

and such questions belong to #arma3_scenario

@lean stratus

[lean stratus]

oh

ok

[crude root]

I've got a question, I've spent the last hour or so trying to get the insignia from my squad to work but it isn't appearing when I go to equip it in the Arsenal.
My unit appears in the game on the top right when I go to check my profile, and in the Appdata the folder for my unit appears, but it's not showing up ingame.

Can someone help me with this?

[tough prism]

For the past week I've been unable to launch the Arma3 Publisher, keep getting a "Steam Initialization Failed, the communication and initialization of Steam client failed, please restart the application"

I have tried just about everything from verifying files, reinstalled tools, steam client, updated graphics drivers, ran a memory diagnostics test, I literally have no idea how to solve this problem.....any ideas folks. 🙏

Link to my rpt... https://pastebin.com/YC3NnBFb

[brisk tide]

Anyone know this issue?

[weary sky]

yup, your game crashed

And more info on why (and some possible solutions) can be found on the BIKI: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_process_exit#0xCFFFFFFF_-_APPLICATION_HUNG

[brisk tide]

Yea it is not responding and it crashes, any way to fix it?

[unborn hearth]

Hey, ive got a server running an edin mission with mods. When i load the mission it fails to load like 3-5 times and then loads after this cycle.

Anyway to fix this?

Also, it makes me pick my slot, load for a minute, fails to load and then goes back to picking slot.

[weary sky]

Well, as the link I posted says

The application became unresponsive and was terminated by the OS.

Which can have millions of reasons, although usually it's because of a bad script (infinite loop) or memory leak somewhere in a mod or mission. Or even a bad config file in a mod.

[uncut trellis]

start testing if server works by launching with no mods and run some vanilla mission and see if that starts normally

then try adding mods

most likely problem is in your mission or in your mods

or both

[unborn hearth]

server works fine

its only with mods it doesnt work

[long skiff]

Hey guys so I just bought arma 3 and I can't start the game and then a pop up appears saying Addon 'A3_Data_Enoch_Loadorder' requires addon 'A3_Missions_F_Enoch if anybody can help me with this it would be very appreciated

[slender sparrow]

do you guys have any idea why dynamic combat ops (weferling) isnt spawning any enemys?

[uncut trellis]

run steam verification on your game files. sounds like the install did not go right

!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.

[long skiff]

Ok thanks I will try

[frosty epoch]

hello was wondering how i can fix my game freezing at delivering data in arma 3 while joining servers
you can @ me if you have a solution thanks

[pine kite]

That's not how trouble shooting works. You provide more specific data about what servers, which mods, any error messages you get. And if or which servers this doesn't happen with.

[ashen jacinth]

What the is this "Better luck Next time" Bullshit I'm getting on my screen whenever I boot up the game?

I paid for this shit and ALL my DLC legitimately!

Persists through Full PC restart!

[pine kite]

Wasn't that a text line you got when you failed the Tank-invaders minigame? It was a gimick during the last sale period.

Better show a full screenshot of it. Before assuming it is some kind of anti-piracy thing.

Yeah, it's back. Notice the tank on the bottom. Press space, WASD, notice thing comming down the main screen?

Failed Arma 3 Tank-invader minigame.

[steady hawk]

Also better mind your language

[pine kite]

When you press close the game still keeps going. Nothing to get upset about.

[ashen jacinth]

Oh!

The game went blackscreen and closed on me 3 times. I thought it was hitting me for illegal copy, it felt a lot like when I had a bug in A2 with the anti cheat

[uncut trellis]

do you alt tab out? The game does not quite like that. need to have it in borderless window mode to alt tab out more safely

[ashen jacinth]

Nah I hadn't even alt tabbed out, the game was just in the main screen. I was just super super shocked because I've had some issues with the anti-piracy stuff before, and it was super jarring to be told to buy DLC after the game was making weird noises and crashing

[uncut trellis]

I believe the message was already explained and you misunderstood it.

[ashen jacinth]

No no I totally undersatnd. I was just explaining why I was so tilted

[teal lark]

This keeps popping up on start and I have no idea what it is

[bronze river]

you need Western Sahara CDLC loaded

[solar gyro]

can't seem to play arma 3 anymore get stuck on launch (Loading profile options) can't seem to find a fix for it tried a few troubleshooting with deleting profiles, Reinstalled the game. Any Last Tips before i give up would like to play?

[steady hawk]

Do you have any active parameters in Launcher?

[lean stratus]

how about for a turret?

[solar gyro]

not to sure what you mean by that sorry

if ur talking about checked these are the only 2

[steady hawk]

Indeed I talk about these checkboxes, where is your Profile folder?

[solar gyro]

i moved it to my d drive to see if that would fix the issue but it didnt

[steady hawk]

Is D:\armatest a profile folder that existed before?

[solar gyro]

no

[steady hawk]

What happens if you untick the option?

It still does the issue?

[solar gyro]

yes it creates a file in C drive Documents an still hangs on loading profile options

[steady hawk]

Then head to this folder: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Profile what's inside?

[solar gyro]

the c drive or D ?

[steady hawk]

Probably C. I'm trying to reach the folder which you've used

[solar gyro]

this the normal arma 3 folder it created when i just launched

this is other profiles it also created with the launch

[steady hawk]

Did you ever moved a profile folder before? Have you played this game just as is?

[solar gyro]

i played it normally before but when it started to get hung on loading other profiles i followed some fixes on forums etc

such as these https://steamcommunity.com/app/107410/discussions/0/541906348057368950/ | https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/219317-loading-screen-stuck-at-loading-player-profile-options/

[steady hawk]

Sounds like the game somehow confuses where the profile folder is...

Which drive Arma 3 itself is in? C or D?

[solar gyro]

D

[steady hawk]

Then try to check if D has profile folder

[solar gyro]

this what is there

[steady hawk]

I mean this folder, not something you've made just now

[solar gyro]

there is none this is the only folder in D drive

[steady hawk]

Hmm, this does seem that, C drives one never reached to the actual game

The game at least tries to load it but before it went to the game it stops during the splash screen. Strange 🤔

This fact might tries to point out that you have the actual folder somewhere else?

[solar gyro]

i mean i have back ups but thats it

i even reinstalled

[steady hawk]

Reinstall never does anything with profiles folder

Do you mean you have a backup of the profile?

[solar gyro]

back up of it all i copied an pasted

[steady hawk]

What if you try to use the backup? Of course with copy and paste the entire somewhere else

Well... date modified says you've already tried so?

[solar gyro]

yeah lol

gonna try again

im just praying bro im hopeless at this point

[solar gyro]

is there a way i can just restart completely i just want to play arma tbh

[steady hawk]

What if you launch Arma 3 not through Launcher, but from arma3_x64.exe itself from the installation folder?

[solar gyro]

ill try real quick

[uncut trellis]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Startup_Parameters#Profile_Options you could perhaps also try forcing a profile with the "profile" launch parameter

[steady hawk]

Or... just a thought, did you updated your audio/headphone into USB connected one?

Never knew a case that it makes the game crash during the splash screen, but just in case

[solar gyro]

naw also had usb

i tried the Arma.exe but crashed at profile this time

[steady hawk]

Try to unplug and use 3.5mm aka good ol' headphone

[uncut trellis]

You might have something the the rpt log

[solar gyro]

i am using usb for headset

[steady hawk]

The case I've just thought hopelessly becomes a credible case...

[uncut trellis]

Also could try running arms3 64bit exe with admin mode. It should not be a requirement but this is a weird case

[solar gyro]

can i just like delete everything maybe an reinstall to then launch maybe creates new profiles or sumn?

[uncut trellis]

@solar gyro can you locate any rpt log files

[steady hawk]

!rpt

[rustic eagle]

Arma RPT

Arma generates a .rpt log file each time it's run, which contains a lot of information like the loaded mods, or any errors that appear, this log file can be very useful for troubleshooting problems.

To get to your RPT files press Windows+R and enter %localappdata%/Arma 3

Additionally see the wiki page for more info: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Crash_Files

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]

No that is already what you been doing

[steady hawk]

Firstly unplug USB headset, if it does work, it is the case of infamous USB Audio hiccup. This would lead you to the solution

[uncut trellis]

Easy to test that one too

[solar gyro]

ight will do

[worldly umbra]

So after playing arma for 7 years I have got into a problem which I have never faced.
So the problem is whenever I load into my unit server I get stuck in my map screen and the respawn option is missing from the middle of the screen. Even none of the keys works nither ESC only thing I can do is press alt +f4 to close the game.

Is there any fix for this?
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

[steady hawk]

@worldly umbraNo crosspost. Your posts in #arma3_questions have been removed

[worldly umbra]

Sry about that, I was not able to understand which was the perfect channel to post my question.

[steady hawk]

If is a case, someone will point it out to do so

[worldly umbra]

Got it.

[solar gyro]

appears to do same thing

[uncut trellis]

How about the rpt logs?

[solar gyro]

can't get on the sqfbin site but i think i got it another way will it be like this?

[steady hawk]

Yes it is what it is

Oh yeah, SQFBin is downed at the time seems like, try pastebin instead

[solar gyro]

k

[solar gyro]

https://pastebin.com/S8RzSaaE

[steady hawk]

Is this the entire rpt?

[solar gyro]

yeahh

[steady hawk]

This...is not something right

It does contain no issue, seems like a hang up

[solar gyro]

i see it ends abruptly then normal huh?

[steady hawk]

Yeah. It is pretty normal rpt

[solar gyro]

will it create a new one if i try to launch?

[steady hawk]

It is normal after all. An RPT file is always created everytime the game launches

[solar gyro]

i guess its time to put arma down after my 9 hours

[uncut trellis]

@solar gyro did you try running the arma exe with admin mode?

Right click exe, run as admin

[solar gyro]

okay i will also this is a new rpt https://pastebin.com/meJzFTZz

i tried to launch it with C Drive this time just to change it up to see this time it launched the game to the arma 3 logo then crashed after a min

[uncut trellis]

This is better, it generated a mini dump crash file.

Now unfortunately only BI tech support can read that, so you need to create a feedback tracker bug ticket and upload the crash files there so they can take a look.

It is Christmas time though so it may happen only after holidays

[steady hawk]

Or Dedmen might...?

[uncut trellis]

Might, buut he's entitled to Christmas off duty too 😅

[solar gyro]

is there any way i can just play? is there not a way to like wipe it all an start brand new, fresh?

[steady hawk]

We still don't get the Y/N answer of this?

[solar gyro]

oh yeah

with administrator mode? if so it got stuck at loading profile again

[uncut trellis]

Just to make sure, have you tried verifying game files on steam?

[solar gyro]

yeah ill do it again

am i the only person this ever happen to lol

[uncut trellis]

Probably not but recently yes. Don't recall any other incident off the top of my head

[solar gyro]

well thanks for the effort guys

what should i do now is there a way to contact like BI Support maybe or something?

[steady hawk]

Wait until if actual Bohemians (Dev's) respond to your issue, Dedmen might have an idea with it (maybe not)

[solar gyro]

[fringe salmon]

Help me, it keeps coming even tho I have ACE on

How is this even possible

[pearl sorrel]

So you post the same image, now with a different statement in another channel?

[fringe salmon]

I'm just confused because if Error then Trobleshoot but if Mod then Editor

[pearl sorrel]

???

Pretty sure channel descriptions tell you what each channel is for.. which this still counts as crossposting...
anyway
Between this picture and the last, nothing has actually changed. You say you launched with ACE, but used the same photo???
What mods are you actually using?

[barren flare]

A quick Google tells me this is a bug to do with pbo files when setting up a server

[fringe salmon]

But I'm not trying to build a Server

[barren flare]

Okay, the only other thing I'm seeing is an issue with Ace Compatible with the Veterans Mod but that was a Steam discussion in 2019. Without knowing more info, it's hard to narrow down the issue

[umbral narwhal]

What mods are you actually using?

It won't be ACE itself generating that error.

Try starting with just CBA and ACE.

[fringe salmon]

292 but I'm not gonna take pics of all because so many

[umbral narwhal]

yeah don't do that.

Load the mods you need, not your entire collection.

[fringe salmon]

I have 300 and something but for them I need Optimal DLCs

[pearl sorrel]

why post pictures at all?
You can just share the html.

[pearl sorrel]

just seen that. 292 mods.

yeh no wonder something (or more likely MANY things are broken)

[umbral narwhal]

(no-one is going to troubleshoot your error with 50 mods, let alone 292)

[pearl sorrel]

I see 2 old ACE mods that will directly conflict each other.. let alone be incompat with any mod that uses the updated ACE.

[uncut trellis]

Basically you will need to add mods few at a time to your run list.

Also, you will never be able to join multiplayer with all these on

@fringe salmon

Best way to get into the game is to start it without mods and do the tutorials and perhaps play bit of the campaign. Then possibly find scenarios that use mods and play those or try out multiplayer

But only way to use all of these mods is to make your own mission(s)

[solar gyro]

[gritty onyx]

Am I just imagining or has the z-fighting gotten worse recently? I'm looking at Georgetown from nearby islands on Tanoa and it's like really bad, borderline unplayable for a sniper based scenario

[umbral narwhal]

Driver updates maybe.

[gritty onyx]

Running newest NVIDIA drivers (527.56)

[umbral narwhal]

The point is that they change. Things can get worse.

[gritty onyx]

Oh yeah, meant just as FYI in case of someone has more info on this 😛

[solar gyro]

how can one open this or wahtever

[umbral narwhal]

A debugger, but there's no point because the symbols aren't public.

If you're getting replicable crashes (ie. same time or same cause) then someone at Bohemia might be interested.

[solar gyro]

well i am non stop i was in here last night an whomever was helping me tried there best. but we couldn't come to a fix \ very nice people...

[umbral narwhal]

What are the symptoms exactly?

[steady hawk]

Etwon discussed about the issue last night, you can look up

[umbral narwhal]

oh, the loading profile options one

Trying something: In the launcher, parameters, tick "profile folder", make a folder for it in a drive root.

[solar gyro]

I tried it before didnt work i put one in my D Drive

[umbral narwhal]

Is D a separate physical drive from your documents folder?

[solar gyro]

Yep

[umbral narwhal]

Suggests that it's not actually the profile that it's tripping up on.

Have you checked for disk errors in event viewer?

[solar gyro]

naw idk what i would be looking for tbh never touched it

[umbral narwhal]

windows logs, system. IIRC it actually says "disk error"

[solar gyro]

[umbral narwhal]

old shorthand for If I Recall Correctly

[solar gyro]

im not sure what im looking for im sorry.

[umbral narwhal]

shrugs

If there's not a lot of red entries in there saying "disk error" then that's probably not it.

In the RPT it doesn't hang until you attempt to load a mission. Is this correct?

[solar gyro]

so when i go to launch the actual game from launcher it just get stuck on (Loading Profile Options)

The Furthest ill Get If i Restart my pc is to the splash screen (Bohemia Interactive Logo)

[umbral narwhal]

huh. I guess it's trying to start some sort of intro.

What happens if you tick -skipIntro and -noSplash in parameters? Guessing that's a red herring but whatever.

[solar gyro]

ill try

still stuck at profile options

[vague lava]

@solar gyro What’s you’re issue? ARMA is hanging?

Also, how much ram you running?

So I have a problem with a server issue. When I load anywhere over 45 mods onto my server I get the following error message.
No entry'bin\config.bin/CfgMovesMaleSdr/States/AmovPercMstpSlowWrflDnon_AmovPsitMstpSlowWrflDnon.connectFrom'.
It doesn't matter what mod I load it'll still give me this no entry message.

Hello im getting an issue with arma 3: When i press play I get a corrupted dll error "0xC000012F - STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_NOT_MZ" or "Bad image"
I have tried to:
-Verify the integrity of the game cache
-Reinstall DirectX
-Uninstall the Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable package (both x86 and x64 version)
-Ran the Windows System File Check tool to repair corrupted system files
-Install MSVP140.dll
-Reinstalling the game
And nothing has worked, i also have used the Microsoft Dependancy walker and I got corrupted files.
File:

i just wanna play arma 3 man

[fallen hound]

[steady hawk]

It's not a movie I don't wanna play with bars on the sides

[ocean cosmos]

[neat prairie]

@frank nebula Have you tried running without mods? Might be a busted extension.

[frank nebula]

I just bought the game and never played it

[umbral narwhal]

Is the launcher starting?

Like do you mean it fails when you press play in steam or in the launcher?

[frank nebula]

The launcher starts but when i press play i get the error

[umbral narwhal]

Maybe check event viewer and see if it reports which DLL is busted. I'd have expected SFC to fix it though.

[frank nebula]

Event viewer?

[umbral narwhal]

press windows key, type "event viewer" :p

[frank nebula]

I dont see anything in the event viewer

theres dlls corrupted in the game files
