it is possible your internet connection is not compatible with hosting

hexed thorn
#

For all 4 of us?

#

Like it isn't just me hosting, all 4 of us tried and we all have the same issue

pine kite
#

If UPnP doesn't work, then you (whoever hosts the session) must manually try to port forward in your router settings. UDP protocol port 2302-2306 to your computer's :LAN IPv4 address.

uncut trellis
#

!localhost

rustic eagleBOT
#

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”

HELP my ai just go hold fire nomatter what i say

Hey im having a pretty significant issue that I cant figure out for the life of me.

When i try to play with certain mods loaded from a preset on an HTML file, for whatever reason, any time I load an APC my game just crashes.

It does not affect the vanilla game.

Attached are the mods I am using currently as well as crash reports but the problem affects other mods too.

#

"any time I load an APC" <- what does this mean?

nova thunder
#

Armored Personel Carrier

golden nova
#

I think Jordan is more about the load part

nova thunder
#

Ah

#

When I am in the editor or a server

golden nova
#

"the problem affects other mods too" - TIOW + other mods or any APC from any mod?

nova thunder
#

and there is an APC

#

TIOW is the only one I have confirmed so far to have issues, when I use RHS mods on their own its fine but when I use a mod list (which is long and I havent pinpointed the problem yet) the RHS vehicles give me the same error

golden nova
#

does your game crash if you place that apc on VR map? since the log shows Livonia. Have you checked how's your hardware behaving? Maybe you have not enough RAM or your game settings are so high your pc cannot process placing that vehicle (or any vehicle with more mods) hence the CTD

uncut trellis
#

you are probably trying to load wrong type of head on spacemarine and it breaks

nova thunder
golden nova
#

ah

#

then HG's message is most valid I guess

nova thunder
#

Nah I just tested it

#

I used a Nato troop

#

outside the vehicle was fine

#

with nobody in the vehicle

#

when I mounted up it crashed

umbral narwhal
#

This is a TIOW APC with a NATO player unit?

nova thunder
#

Yes but it also crashes with just the default TIOW unit inside it

#

also this is the crash code

#

0xC0000022 - STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
This code means the OS doesn’t have access to some files required to run the game. Possible solution:

Run the game or Steam as administrator.

#

I already tried running steam as admin

umbral narwhal
#

huh. Does TIOW have an extension DLL?

nova thunder
#

would running Arma on a drive that is not the same drive as Steam or my OS cause this problem

nova thunder
umbral narwhal
#

Are there any DLL files in the root folder of the mod?

nova thunder
#

not from what I can tell

golden nova
#

do you have this mod on a different partition?

#

and if so is this a symlink or loaded as a local mod, not sure if it makes any difference to windows

#

I'm not a windows spec but you could check the privileges of your OS to the mod by right clicking on mod folder, attributes, security, choose system from users and see if everything is checked below

nova thunder
#

yeah its all checked

charred acorn
#

whenever I load a scenario this happens

i checked file integrety and reinstaled and deleted saved folder in docs

The first process will automatically verify Steam Workshop items as well.

ah it started working 😄

probably too little space

it maybe the tool doesn't know part of the files are already there

the tool just tells steam to do work

it doesn't actually do anything with the files

I was told that If I cant host an Arma 3 Server [Which I cannot do] I wouldnt be able to host multiplayer sessions on most games. Is there a list of games that I cannot host on, I want to see if I have any of the games and see if I can host on that game just to check if Im doing something wrong

The spaces break the commandline that starts the server. You probably need to encapsulate the entire -mod= line between double quotes "-mod=@whatever;@what ever2"

Please don't ping green people from Bohemia directly. There is a rule about that.

#

try verifying the tools install on steam

#

also have you ran the tools launcher once?

#

that adds tool registry entries

#

how about if you start addonbuilder from its exe instead of the launcher

#

#

maybe you got some issue in your windows install

this is definitely not normal

have you tried restarting your PC?

I'm having an issue with my camera.
Whenever I start my scenario preview, my camera kind of dies. I get no visuals from the world, and everything else I get on the screen are stuck there.
It looks like this:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1063221674289406022/1065983952583671838/image.png

I usually have this problem when I'm planting explosives with ACE, or when I walk into the core of the explosion from Alias's nuke script. I don't know why it could be doing this, I tried a clean scenario and a restart of the game.

#

I also don't know what this effect is called so I could not search for it

#

It's like the out-of-bounds visuals from GMod

lavish plank
#

I fixed it!

#

I pressed auto-detect in video settings

#

then re-did my desired options

#

it's perfectly fine now!

It happens everytime I start the preview

Hi, I have an issue with starting up ARMA3.

what I did:

I'm running a fairly clean installation of windows 11, that being the biggest change since the game ran.
Install steam, then arma, and tried to run arma through steam.

what I expected:

arma starts up normally through the launcher and can play/join servers with the right mods loaded.

what happens instead:

The launcher starts and works normally, but starting arma, even with no mods, results in 4 of these popups one after the other.

steady hawk
#

(Re) install VC13 and/or DirectX

mental sentinel
#

uninstalling arma, rebooting, installing, then again rebooting also had no effect.

steady hawk
#

🤔 The installer error is really useless, it doesn't even say what was wrong 😩

mental sentinel
#

it does list 2 logs I managed to track down, but can't upload

#

the relevant parts are:

any ideas or steps would be appreciated.

#

also, am I the only one, or is arma known to not run well on windows 11?

#

what processor do you have? know some people have had issues with AMD chips

ocean cosmos
#

odd, try bios update

I upgraded to the newest version of the bios successfully before installing steam, not sure I can downgrade, though.

Im having issues with arma 3. I load into the game. Click on the spawnpoint to spawn in. As soon as i do i see my gun. Yet the screen seems to freeze. I hear interactions such as when i press esc over and over again but my screen stays the same. Picture doesnt change but its almost like im in the server. Reinstalled all my mods, reinstalled the game. Every other person in the server seems to have no issues.

ocean cosmos
#

does it happen with no mods

sand rampart
#

(oh yeah also went into zeus it worked just fine)

#

ill try without the mods but the odd thing is for the rest of the people with the mods it works just fine

#

it has infact been solved. auto detect in graphics fixed it for me

uncut trellis
#

@gaunt belfry this is correct channel btw

#

and to continue on your problem, thats error from ACE mod

#

and likely means you have some wrong version of ACE in use

#

the map has nothing to do with the error

#

unless it manages to break other mods you have

gaunt belfry
uncut trellis
#

worth a shot

#

or you have some other mod in use that breaks it

gaunt belfry
#

Still nothing

#

No clue what to do

remove all mods, then add few at at time to see where it breaks

Nvm, my there's this map that keeps crashing on me, but others dont, so my assumption is the map is kinda broken

maps often aren't supposed to be loaded together because of never being checked for compatibility

also some map may have bugged objects in them and big maps can become unstable too

I have 2 files that Steam is trying to download for Arma 3 for weeks now. Here is an image of what I am experiencing:

#

I have 2 files where 1 of 2 files are downloading, but it is stuck on the download, but continues to try to download with no success. I have been told to checkdisk, uninstall, and reinstall

uncut trellis
cerulean canopy
#

In the download screen, there is a "Patch Notes" link, where it says it is a "SPOTREP" #00108 hotfix 2.1 patch, that is ~15 MB in size. There was another file prior to that that was something like 346.7 MB in size, but it didn't have any notes to click on, and any other info about it was blinking so fast I could hardly read what it said

uncut trellis
#

is it downloading right now?

#

have you tried just verifying the game files?

cerulean canopy
#

It is constantly downloading day after day, non-stop. How do I verify game files?

#

OK, googled that - it says all 176 game files validated......

uncut trellis
#

this does sound more like a Steam bug than Arma bug

#

you could try looking if you can find and clear/delete the steam download cache if the files are somehow stuck in there and cant complete due to some corruption

cerulean canopy
#

Thanks! Did that - it no longer shows ANY downloads pending, but it isn't stuck in download mode any longer. I guess if the files queue up again, I'll see then if they complete properly or not. Thanks again!

ocean cosmos
#

It's going through a loop of "Missing Installed Files" and validating arma's game file integrity

uncut trellis
#

Maybe reinstalling steam is worth a try. It can basically be done over the old install but it might freshen it up a bit.

ocean cosmos
#

reinstalled steam and still looping

uncut trellis
#

Beyond that it starts to be a thing to contact steam tech support with I think

Ok, something has gone wrong. I'm not sure if it was the last update or what. Arma 3 used to run good on my system, but now I get a DX11 error every 30 minutes of playing. I've tried reinstalling DX, and have updated my GPU drivers. I have even tried deleting my user profile in hopes of it fixing the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Otherwise it's liable to just uninstall itself again.

I suspect that's the trouble with the new installs: It installs the 32-bit version, which uninstalls the 64-bit version.

literally all it takes is 1 bad mod to break the game

the game does not break like that in vanilla

yeah but these issues started a long time after i made my final mod list

try play again, if it still happens delete a file from your arma 3 folder in your steamlibrary then steamverify again

Are you using 32bit? If so, try using 64bit if your system can. Low FPS combined with texture/model issues like that often mean a memory leak.

Removing a single file of the arma 3 install wouldn't fix what is related to another file that is untouched. Might as well empty it all or uninstall/re-install. As for what KJW inspired to blame it on mods, it's 90% (+9%) due to mods. Doesn't matter if it worked well before. Things change, mods change. You never know when it does or happened in the past. Start from nothing, add mods piece-wise until it falls apart.

Hey I'm playing at 5120x1440 (32:9) and seemingly at random my UI/video settings will go into triple head mode and force all UI elements into a square area at the center of my screen instead of stretching to the width of my display.

#

My aspect ratio is set to Auto (Stretch).

#

(excuse the HDR)

image.png
ocean cosmos
#

Is there a 32:9 resolution option rather than using stretch? I know lots of people in my group have issues using stretch

amber mist
ocean cosmos
amber mist
#

I notice that my Arma3Profile file has tripleHead=1; whenever this happens, and the only way for me to fix this is to close the game and manually set it to 0.

amber mist
#

I assume for triple monitor setups, to fit on a single center display

#

the game must've assumed that any ultra wide resolution must be done through a triple monitor setup and never forecasted that we'd have such ridiculously wide monitors in the future lol

ocean cosmos
#

Oh right, triple head mode issue -- I know someone who's had a similar size though with perfectly fine ui elements I believe thonk

amber mist
#

if I turn off triple head in my arma3profile file, the UI and all is fine and appears normal

#

but it occasionally flips triplehead mode back on for no reason

#

triplehead should be a separate toggle in video settings, and aspect ratio would be nice to be able to enter a free form/custom value

ocean cosmos
#

Hm, odd. I presume you've looked at editing aspect ratio in your arma3profile file already?

amber mist
#

yea, seems to be coupled to FOV though I think

#

but the game itself overrides the triplehead value during runtime

#

even without touching aspect ratio settings

#

that's the issue

ocean cosmos
amber mist
#

nah but that's not the issue exactly that I'm bringing up -- it's that even with the auto aspect ratio, or custom, the game will override the tripleHead value for no reason while playing.

#

So my UI will get confined to just a small square area.

#

Everything will be fine, and then out of nowhere the UI just messes up.

#

that tripleHead value just flips for no reason

ocean cosmos
#

I would imagine it's coupled to FOV or something similar, but I'd recommend submitting a feedback tracker ticket

dusty plinth
#

I'm at a complete loss here, dunno where else to post this other than here. I'm completely unable to invite people to my server through steam, nor is it being found on the friends tab either. I'm attempting to host the server through UPnP and there's zero issues; It comes up with no errors on port forwarding attempts, so from that I'm gauging that the UPnP hosting is successful. I used to be able to host servers just fine about a month ago, no issues like this have ever occurred until today.

#

The server is open in the background and ready, but there's no option to invite them in. Even direct connect via IP isn't even working properly.

#

Currently I've attempted;
Disabling all mods
Port forwarding
Disabling BattlEye
Restarting my router entirely
Disabling my firewall

But nothing has fixed it as of right now.

umbral narwhal
#

Check that you still have a real external IPv4.

dusty plinth
#

How would I go about doing that? Apologies, I've never really had to check for something like this.

Okay yeah, found it. My router is remarkably cryptic at times. It appears to be the same.

Were you using port forwarding or UPNP before?

dusty plinth
#

UPNP before, worked perfectly without any issues.

umbral narwhal
#

Ok, known requirements for UPNP to work:

  1. Check that the network type is set to "private" or "work", not public.
  2. Check that network discovery is enable for that network type.
  3. Check that UPNP is enabled on the router.
#

Also make sure that you're not forwarding the same ports, because that will override UPNP, and if the settings are wrong then it won't work.

bronze river
#

for me i just log in to my router, click the setting until i see the word related to UPNP, then turn it on.

umbral narwhal
#

(first two are both Windows settings, and the method to change them depends on the Windows version)

dusty plinth
#

Network is set to private, discovery is enabled and upnp is enabled.

image.png HlqJ2Ll.png image.png
#

Which is odd, because there are no errors when I host the server with upnp, there's no errors that are shown. Usually if there's a upnp error when hosting it will say, but it shows green across the board during.

umbral narwhal
#

Try hosting with a completely different port.

dusty plinth
#

Attempting hosting with a different port; router shows successful upnp port forwarding, yet no luck.

umbral narwhal
#

And you're sure you have a real external IPv4? In that case your router is busted.

#

Or ISP is actually blocking incoming ports.

dusty plinth
#

Yup, got a real ipv4, double and triple checked. My VPN is off entirely, too.

#

I can host other servers just fine; I used to host for ARK, project zomboid, minecraft, all of 'em, it's just arma that seems to be messing up.

umbral narwhal
#

"used to".

#

ISPs break things. Updates break things.

dusty plinth
#

I hosted a source server just last week, there hasn't been any updates to my router firmware since then.

pine kite
#

Are you actually telling your server to host starting from port 7777 with the -port=7777 parameter?

dusty plinth
#

I haven't set any parameters, I'm hosting through the in-game host option.

#

Not sure if you can host with UPNP with headless hosting/Dedicated

pine kite
#

If you set it in the server config, you should be able to. Never done this myself though.

#

The only thing I can imagine is that the UPnP in the router might be working. But not in your server's firewall. Ports 7777-7779 and 7781 might not be open in your server firewall in the inbound side. And with UPnP you never know exactly what port numbers it uses, you are chasing wild gooses trying to fix it.

dusty plinth
#

Hmm, that might be the case. Let me see if that works.

plain fossil
#

I don't mean to interrupt y 'all's conversation but I have a slightly similar problem. My friend and I cannot host servers for each other for some reason we do use mods but we have been trying to solve this problem for months and so we have tried both with vanilla and with the EXACT same mods AND game version. multiplayer seems very unreliable because there is very rare times where we can play the game but most of the time we are either disconnected instantly or we flat out cannot see each other's servers any and all help would be appreciated. Also yes I have UPnP enabled.

pine kite
#

If you are trouble shooting connectivity issues, then don't worry about mods. Don't use any of them until it works. It just confuses the problem. Can't they join because of mods, or because the network settings are failing some how. It's tricky to know that when you are new to this.
Start with a vanilla server setup, let the server load a bohemia interactive made scenario on Altis or Stratis or Malden (free DLC). Only when it works and everyone can join without issues then make the next step by adding a mod. Then when you figured that out how it should work, you add the next mod. Or you start to test out how mod signature verification works to prevent players from loading undesirable mods.

plain fossil
#

okay i'll give that a try and come back with my results if I run into an issue.

Mmn. still no luck. Even port forwarding doesn't work.

Nope. Only did the mods the server said it required.. I'm reinstalling arma 3 now. So when it's done I'll try reinstall all the mods and find out of it has extras not listed

Just in case you want to try how it goes in vanilla (official) server

If something is not loading mods through the back door then your install of Arma 3 is probably messed up. Erradicate the install and reinstall.

youtube performance guides are usually not very good so best bet would be resetting whatever you did there and setting up autodetection and then lowering view distance

#

also some GPU enhancements may not work very well in arma and can eat a lot of frames

and in case you are in multiplayer, the server FPS dictates a lot how fast your FPS can be

it looks like a body issue, are you using any particular mod, like Halo or 40K?

Possible solutions:

  1. Restart your game
  2. Unload broken Mods
  3. Upgrade your hardware

Another possible solution: Switch to 64bit if you can and are running 32bit

tacit veldt

Launcher > Parameters

tacit veldt
pine kite
#

Simplest way to figure this out. Start with no mods, add one mod to test if it is the cause. Add more one at a time until it reapears.

mortal trout
#

or if you suspect what mod it is check if you can repair the mod

steady hawk
#

Or, don't use that “private mods”

tacit veldt
pine kite
#

Suspecting a non-problematic mod doesn't repair it magically. You have to narrow it down to a mod doing this.

tacit veldt
#

I use the TFC, FLB, TFN, TFB, and gatekept mods

#

I downloaded them in one file then i separated the mods to each files they belong to

steady hawk
#

Sounds very fishy already

pine kite
#

Well, modpacks (all in one download) is a bad idea. They don't update with changes to the individual mod. And they could contain illegal mods (ripped content the original mod creator doesn't want replicated)

tacit veldt
pine kite
#

Aside from that, re-arranging the contents of a mod to your own expectations of 'this seems better', is a recipe for dissaster.

tacit veldt
pine kite
#

Just subscribe to the individual mods. Those 5-ish don't seem that complex a number.

#

If the scenario or mod depends on it, you need it. Doesn't matter if you yourself intent to play with it.

steady hawk
#

It is very good habit to try to reproduce what you got in an empty mission as well

So i tried the private mods, nothing happens, boutta add the factions i am using

Hey guys
How are you ?

I have a big problem on my server :/
For almost all players, sometimes, after 10 minutes of play, they get kicked out of the game and have the following error:
x (285) out of range <0.256)

while searching I found the error in this post
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Talk:arma.RPT
but nothing tells me how to solve this problem :/
anyone how to fix it? thanks in advance ^^

Talk:arma.RPT
golden nova
#

post your server rpt

vivid lion
#

Yup

#

It's an example of RPT with the error

#

I dont have error on the server rpt

#

I will send you if you want

golden nova
#

but if it pops up for a bunch of players in the exact same time it might be either mods you're using or something's wrong with your server I guess, server-side mods or just its configuration. if there's nothing specific in rpt you might have higher chance of fixing this with people from #server_admins / #server_linux / #server_windows (just don't crosspost)

#

eh it's a modpack, can't help then, you probably have too much (broken) shit there

#

just by looking at how many errors it throws into RPT it is almost certain its a mod issue

vivid lion
#

Yup i think too

#

Its just one player not a group

are there known mods that take up a lot of memory?

#

im experiencing memory leaks

pearl sorrel
modern echo
#

okay?

golden nova
modern echo
#

should the rpt tell me anything about whats going on?

golden nova
#

and Eagle is right, you do some weird stuff with your game like loading a dozen year old profiles, messing with parameters etc and coming here with issues you don't want to elaborate on

modern echo
#

idk, i installed arma 3 and the scroll bars are just white squares

#

i'll try on a fresh profile

golden nova
#

RPT may give you a hint about what's the culprit but it may as well not do that, rule of thumb is you:
a) don't use many mods
b) don't use old mods
c) don't use mods that are clearly incompatible or have been reported to cause issues by their devs or in comments

modern echo
#

cant be a know-it-all regarding c)

#

and im not sure about old mods, if it works it works

#

i just use about 60 mods of various different things

#

im putting extra mods for stuff like antistasi

#

im genuinely trying to figure out what is going on

#

maybe my computer is just cursed

#

i still want to know the technical details of each memory allocator

#

like how it works and the differences

golden nova
#

if your game works fine with no mods and doesn't with mods, remove half of stuff you loaded and see if it still crashes

#

if it doesn't -> add stuff one by one until it breaks again

#

if it continues to break -> remove half of the half

#

and so on

modern echo
#

its a oom crash instead

#

the problem is memory leaks

golden nova
#

troubleshooting method is the same

modern echo
#

are there known issues with memory consumption in popular mods?

golden nova
#

popular mods usually are made to not do that

#

but mods dependant on them can cause memory leaks

#

if your pc is too weak then common mods can make your pc ctd too.

#

do what I said, start unloading mods until it becames stable and then add stuff selectively to find what is the problem

modern echo
#

any suggestions about fixing bloated profile vars?

golden nova
#

not using mods that save to profile extensively might help, not sure if you can remove anything from there as it's binarized

modern echo
#

is it possible to debinarize it?

golden nova
#

doubtful

modern echo
#

or modifying it easily in binarized form

golden nova
#

i guess you can figure out debinarizing it but rebinarising will cause issues, instead you can make a new profile in main menu and use it

modern echo
#

i see

#

is it possible that i discovered an actual arma 3 bug as well?

#

regarding the white rectangle scrollbars

golden nova
#

if it appears without mods then yes, otherwise it might be caused by one of addons you're using

modern echo
#

it shows up without mods

golden nova
modern echo
#

i dont know how it even happened in first place so str is hard to put

#

im using small ui size if it helps

golden nova
#

BI might not be able to fix it if they can't replicate the issue

#

I've never seen that issue as you describe it, perhaps it's something to do with that 1.69 profile file you were using

modern echo
#

maybe theres some other way to figure out whats the issue

golden nova
#

have you tried verifying files through steam?

#

alternatively you can delete a file or two from arma 3 directory to force Steam to start redownloading files, sometimes when structure is okay it won't check everything

modern echo
#

it been a issue since i installed arma 3 in first place

golden nova
#

I own A3 since 2018 and never encountered that thing

#

do you have Win11?

modern echo
#

win10

#

and even on win7 i have the issue

#

not a os issue

golden nova
#

try verifying files

#

if you did that and Steam didn't download anything, manually remove a file or something from A3 directory and force verification again

modern echo
#

are issues with ui size and switching profiles going to be addressed?

#

like i mean glitches that happen when switching different gui sizes without a restart

golden nova
#

if they aren't reported in feedback tracker then no

#

but i doubt changing gui will be fixed, it required restarting since A2 and iirc it shows a box telling you to restart game to make all changes apply

modern echo
#

in a3 it doesnt unfortunately

golden nova
#

hmm

modern echo
#

going from small to large makes apex menu unusable pretty much

#

steam is now validating arma 3 workshop content it seems, after the regular game validation

#

that's annoying

#

i tried validating the game, nothing wrong with it

golden nova
#

do you have any hardware acceleration enabled, any custom settings in your gpu control panel?

modern echo
#

nothing that matters

#

hw accel is enabled of course

#

i have 82gb worth of workshop content

#

mostly cup

pine kite
#

Glitches will not be fixed, because those are random. Never the same. Until you can narrow it down to a specific occurance and can replicate it each time doing the same over and over, then Bohemia interactive might work on it and fix it. But it depends on if it is an really bad bud. Or just a nuisance.

# uncut trellis turn off all mods and try again

I think vanilla works, online servers also work.
The issue's there only with my own preset, in any mission file in the editor.
I tried finding the combination of PBOs that make it do work while keeping most of my preset, and found out that it happens when I keep a certain chemical warfare mod. The mod is not quite right of an answer because my friend says we only added it recently, after the issue first came up.
My friend doesn't have any issues with my preset.

In summary, excuse me: it happens with a certain mod on along with my preset, which might not be.
Happens only to me.

Arma 3, I've been enjoying the demining AL-6 "Pelican" IDAP drone, but often times the prompt to hack it will be missing after I deploy it. I try shifting around it and getting closer/further away, redeploying it elsewhere, respawning, even restarting missions, but sometimes it'll just refuse to work for the entire game even when I've done it before on the same scenario. Does anyone happen to know what's causing the issue?

Hey guys, I'm having a really bad issue with enemy AI shooting through trenches and armored vehicles, despite the fact that the vehicles and trenches would provide cover otherwise.

#

I have videos, the issue can only be reproduced on my server, it doesn't seem to occur anywhere else.

#

A simple server restart doesn't fix it.

#

I'm using a dedicated host.

uncut trellis
#

could be problem with mods

fallen vine
#

If it were the case, shouldn't I be experiencing it outside of the server?

uncut trellis
#

not necessarily since mods can be have different in SP and in localhost and in dedicated server

fringe salmon
#

What's up guys, me and my buddies have an private dedi antistasi server and i wanted to ask about some things:

  • Is it possible to have the mission "permanently"? loaded (I always have to load up the mission manually by logging in as admin changing the mission ingame)

  • Battleye gives me a Query something error, we disabled it for now but i would like to have RCON so i would want to enable it again.

fallen vine
#

I just did some more testing

#

the problem only occurs when the headless client is loaded

#

When it's unloaded, the issue doesn't occur

fallen vine
umbral narwhal
#

Could happen if the headless client isn't loading all the mods, I guess.

fallen vine
#

I'll try reinstalling the mods on the headless

#

However, under normal circumstances, the server would kick the headless if it didn't have all the mods required by the mission.

Hi! I have a problem when starting missions over my LinuxGSM dedicated server for Arma 3.

When I launch any missions, even vanilla ones, I get the following error:
Warning Message: You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted.\nace_grenades

Sometimes, it's nace_parachutes or nace_optics or nace_realisticnames.

I don't really know what mod this is from and I can't seem to figure it out. Does anyone have any ideas? And does anyone knw why this affects also vanilla missions which I am trying to launch?

golden nova
#

\n is a line break character, so actual missing content is ace_ = ACE3 mod. Mission has been made with ACE and/or includes stuff that ace adds and it's not installed on your server

fringe salmon
#

Ace is not installed? That makes no sense...

#

It has to be that I wrote ACE incorrectly in the mods string. I'll take a look!

fringe salmon
golden nova
#

did you configure your server with any guides

#

mods should be added through launch parameter or in bat file with -mod=@mod1;@mod2 etc

#

-servermod for serverside mods

fringe salmon
#

I used LinuxGSM to set it up and this is generally how they do it. However, I read that I did not need to differentiate between local mods and serverside mods. Just plop it all into mods. And indeed, it worked fine for several years.

#

I'll mess around a bit. Maybe my ACE install is corrupt?

golden nova
#

you can check if you have these allegedly missing pbos within your ace folder

fringe salmon
#

Thanks for the help. I'll take a look.

#

Ok, so I made a silly mistake. Somehow, I completely forgot to add mods/@cbaa3; That fixed it. 🤦‍♂️

#

Thanks a lot for the help anyway, though!

"some 0005 error" isn't really specific. What's the exact code error? And how are you trying to join your friend, through Steam, through Launcher or are you manually typing server details?

and this happens right when you press "connect" or similar button to join?

STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION actually tells us nothing. It just means generic error - which means we don't know what it is

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

Open Launcher -> Right Click on mod -> Repair
The first process will automatically verify Steam Workshop items as well.

In the RPT log file it should show a table what mods it found where. But Linux doesn't create the file, instead it is sent to stdout. You might need to start it with this piped commandline shown in this link: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/arma.RPT

If you break fog params with zeus then nothing will lock. Not sure if relevant.

You could change the user folder to a different drive, and then Arma would likely look there instead.

Or is there a different approach to this error?

  1. It is ignorable, just annoying but that's it
  2. If you want to solve, verify will never do anything with it

  4. So, the solution for it is to remove a faulty Mod

Hello , I've been having a problem lately, when I customise a soldier he pretty much remains the same , for example made a scenario with some ussr soldiers and the facewear does not appear nor the 6b body armour with some different camo ( the guns work , if I choose a silencer or whatever) the changes are visible in the Eden editor but not when I play the scenario.

sometimes it's a mod feature, in 3CB Factions and CFP you can disable randomization in unit's attributes

#

if the faction mod you're using was made using Alive and author didn't disable the equipment overwrite you can't do much, use vanilla units instead and copy your loadouts on them

You mean it's less than 100gb now? Yeah, I had an SSD for 128GB, and that was quickly filling up. Then Windows needs to do it's major update dance and poof, 30GB it needs. Not even having Arma 3 on it with it's 45GB minimum.

I don't really see the need for special OS partition/volume anymore. Unless you want to dual boot to linux or whatever. For Windows sake it's better to let it have the entire drive and not get into self-created space limitations.

I guess one of the mods I am using is causing the crash. I would disable it, if I would know which one it is.

golden nova
#

disable your mods one by one until your game works.

#

that's the workflow and most efficient solution if you can't find anything in RPT or in comment's section for certain mods.

quaint jewel
#

would be more efficient to disable half the mods, rather than one by one

Thank you guys, I will try this

is it normal for mod update size to far exceed the file size?

almost every mod is a huge download

nevermind, the size just didn't update after update finished

# rustic eagle

How do I force an RPT file to generate? What are the conditions for one to generate?

steady hawk
#

If it is not logged, you may have -noLogs option in Launcher

native mica
#

Sorry, I mean I have rpt's in the correct folder and all. I just need to know.

Does it run every mission? Every time you open game? Only on crash?

steady hawk
#

Every once you launch the game, regardless if you switch the mission or terrain or whatever

native mica
#

ok, so If im looking for errors in a specific mission I will have to restart my game for changes to show in rpt?

steady hawk
#

It is better to narrow down which part of the rpt represents that. But not a must workflow

native mica
#

wdym

steady hawk
#

No need to restart the game

#

...Or, a stupid way, you can just clear what's inside in the .rpt, so the log starts from the blank file

native mica
#

ohh. Will the rpt just get longer?

steady hawk
#

Yes

native mica
#

thank you! I appreciate it

steady hawk

Also, there is a diag_log scripting command to write ANY info you want to leave in an rpt

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”

Only the host should need to do that

Hmm. But what? I'm converting a facewear item into a backpack. Other than changing the class and adding a max load and mass I haven't done anything else to it

Okay, so maybe elaborate on how it's broken so I can figure out how to fix it?

dont know, theres million ways to broke a config

Like, what would doing what I'm doing cause it to break? Is there a wiki etc on if it's even possible for a start?

umbral narwhal

Preprocessor is the thing that handles the stuff that starts with # :P

So #include "" would probably throw that error

uncut trellis
#

there is wiki but nothing that explains in detail what you try to do

barren flare
#

Okay, so the only thing that starts with a # in the config is define_ARMA but that was already in the config on the working mod I'm converting

uncut trellis
#

so

#

lets start from that being the wrong way to go

barren flare
#

Okay cool

uncut trellis
#

you dont mess with some mods files

#

you make new files

#

a new config that loads after the original mod and adds things

barren flare
#

Right, okay

#

So essentially I'd just make a config that says it can be facewear and a backpack?

#

And make the original a dependency?

uncut trellis
#

yes

#

essentially

barren flare
#

Right, cool. To google I go

the info you may need is unfortunately bit spread around.

No servers showing up on in-game server browser, cant join any through launcher either. I don't see any servers in the ingame server browser, quick find doesn't work, I can host but nobody can see it. When I join servers through the launcher it's just stuck on the loading screen and I can't do anything. I reinstalled Arma, valdated files, reinstalled BattlEye, checked firewall, reset router, reset pc, reset all settings and even deleted everything from Local/Arma3 but it's still not doing anything.

So i had like 200ish GB of workshop content downloaded to my arma3, and my arma 3 game including all DLC + CDLC was like 60-70GB i think now for some reason my arma 3 decided to perform hara-kiri by starting to Redownload all of my mods that i've subscribed to even tho I had them downloaded !? so I decided to uninstall the game
reason why I uninstalled the game was because i knew that I didnt have space for another 200GB worth of workshop content and I didn't want my arma 3 to be downloading every single mod at all cuz they were all updated and downloaded

In my case sadly it's like 200ish GB worth of content

delete the existing workshop content

move arma 3 to somewhere you have space, steam will put the workshop content in the library/disk you put the game

or unsubscribe from the heavier mods you dont need

missing mod probably, check the stuff you're loading if any of them have dependencies and add them

yeah checked no problems

then it's a hidden dependency not listed by mod author I guess

best way to find a "broken" mod is unload half of stuff you're loading and see if Arma works, if it does -> start adding mods to that

if it doesn't -> unload another half
