Either the mod is broken, which he actual states in the description, is possible.
Or steam has downloaded them properly
Or you have been messing around in workshop files and corrupted it. (aka redownload, by resubbing)

trying now

#

it works thanks

#

I have a server running but it doesn't show in the list and can't be connected to, ports are all open and it showed once but nothing changed when that happened, I have team speak ports going off it too

#

Any ideas

You can use the endmission cheat to skip through missions. Not sure if finishing "prologue-prologue" is considered as finishing this part of campaign, when I bought this game I started from campaign first.

Ports where open on the box

here are the 2 errors i get when im in editor trying to get zeus to work when i go into play in multiply player that pops up and Zeus does not work. in editor i also can not edit addon options i have had the same problem for 2 days and my zeus module is set up correct

#

i have ace and cba_a3 in and load so that is not the problem also this is on sog dlc as i am trying to make the base for my unit

spice spear
#

Could someone advise me why my ready-made zeus in the mission does not have access to some addon modules, but if I take a unit without zeus and use ACE to add it live on the zeus server, does it have access to these modules?

uncut trellis
visual surge
uncut trellis
#

Dunno. Remove the mod maybe if you don't need it

visual surge
#

and is that why zeus doesn't work also

uncut trellis
#

Don't know. There could be other errors in there too

#

My suggestion is, setup basic thing first with no additional mods

#

Then add mods in small batches so you know what breaks it when it breaks

#

Not all mods are compatible with each other and they can always be broken for one reason or other.

visual surge
#

ok thanks

I am having an issue with explosions in the game. When I call in a large artillery strike the explosion effects/particles despawn prematurely, and it just looks unnatural. Attached is a video of the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

bronze river
#

this doesn't look like a vanilla explosion

outer spade
#

it's blastcore

pearl sorrel
#

and they disappear due to the amount of explosions happening

outer spade
#

is there a way in increase the limit or something

uncut trellis
#

Blastcore adds pretty heavy effects

outer spade
#

is there another mod that doesn't have this issue or at least it isn't as noticeable

pearl sorrel
#

Every mod with large explosions and/or multiple explosions will have this issue (probably even vanilla has this issue..)

lime sphinx
#

What's the recommendation then? To reduce (sic) the particles quality in video options, so each explosion produces less of them and it takes longer to reach the engine cap?

pearl sorrel
#

Dropping particles can help blastcore, but not alot. (IIRC from my testing and editing of Murr edition) …large explosion effects and multiple would still cause some to get hidden/overlapped.
Less Explosions either delayed or literally less munition used is probably the best.

#

Often its not just the blast effects. its the effect of destruction of the buildings (debris etc) that will add to the particles getting used up

#

i need help'

#

cant go in arma 3

uncut trellis
#

you mean you cant start the game?

#

like I said in detail, this is not really much to go on with

frail bone
#

it hard to describe can i cal you so you can see

uncut trellis
#

no. I cant do that kind of help

#

you will have to write

#

and post your pictures here not in my DM thanks

frail bone
#

ok

#

ok

#

how can i take a screen shoot'

#

?

uncut trellis
#

you can use snip tool

#

for general "how to use computer stuff" best to try google first

frail bone
#

i can do medal and send a vid

uncut trellis
#

Id recommend finding out hot to screenshot

#

it will be useful to know how

frail bone
#

il send vid

slow gazelle
#

has anyone had experiences in a modded game with AI ragdolling/tripping over themselves?

uncut trellis
#

as to which ones would cause it, impossible to tell

#

most likely stuff like ACE and animation mods

#

but could be something else

slow gazelle
#

Yeah - I'm suspecting it's something to do with project injury reaction (PiR) but not sure

#

I've literally seen the team KIA from tripping LOL

#

I can reset them periodically by dragging them with the ACE interaction while they're down

uncut trellis
#

my guess is you got 2 conflicting injury systems

frail bone
#

help

uncut trellis
#

dont use all of them

#

you will need to test mods 1 by 1 to see what works and what breaks

#

you have very serious bugs happening there

frail bone
#

hahah ok

slow gazelle
uncut trellis
#

nope no idea

#

but lots of mods == lots of chances to something break

slow gazelle
#

yup fair enough

frail bone
#

thx

#

for the help

golden nova
#

for wounding overhauls check Project Injury Reaction or ACE

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone can help me with a technical issue i'm having. Whenever I launch my arma 3 Launcher my Launcher is saying plesae exit game to manage mods... I don't have the game open and I have looked in task manager and it defo isn't open so I can't edit my mods as the launcher thinks the game is running when it isn't. anyone know a fix. many thanks

Does anyone have any ideas short of reinstalling the game (which would take days on my connection)?

I'm trying to play the main campaign to get a missing ending achievement, and I'd already played through chapter 1 earlier. I got an error about an incompatible save and thought nothing of it, since it's normal for saves to get corrupted with every patch.

But when I try to start any mission in the campaign now, nothing happens. But when I try to revert it back to the first mission, the game for some reason launches the "LZ Nowhere" mission for the Steel Pegasus campaign instead. Reverting also reverted the Steel Pegasus campaign, instead of the East Wind campaign.

Other facts I can think of:

  • I never have mods active when I play vanilla stuff
  • Other campaigns work as normal
  • Restarting the game did nothing
  • I already verified the game files on Steam

Here's a clip that shows the problem I'm having (I sped up the loading screens): https://streamable.com/urnt0p

Also the error that pops up is unrelated, I have the file set to read only on purpose.

If you're going to do, don't forget to backup

delicate belfry
#

That worked. I'll have to replay chapter 1 of the campaign, but at least I can play it now 😄 Thanks for the help.

#

Damn, I actually spoke too soon. It still launched the "LZ Nowhere" mission instead of the correct one 😩

bronze river
#

try revert mission

steady hawk
#

Did

delicate belfry
#

See my clip above

steady hawk
#

Hmm, just in case have you tried to make a new profile and try to launch a mission from The East Wind?

delicate belfry
#

I'll try that

#

That actually worked

#

So it's probably something to do with my normal profile then, but it doesn't really matter to me because I can just use the second profile

steady hawk
#

Yeah, then the reason must be somewhat corrupted profile

delicate belfry
#

I backed up the save files like you suggested, and I copied those over to the new profile so now I can actually continue the campaign where I left off from 😄

steady hawk
#

Oh nice

#

Don't forget to copy files like Arma3Profiles, so you can keep your control schemes still

delicate belfry
#

Most of the modified stuff in my controls are related to mods, and I dont use mods when playing vanilla stuff so it's fine.

steady hawk
#

Good to go, then?

delicate belfry
#

Yep, thanks again

#

i figured it out myself

was using lag switch for tarkov and it blocked firewall for some be games

it was all the way at the bottom of firewall settings without a name

When starting the server on the virtual machine, this error comes up
Afterwards when the client attempts to connect to the server slots dont show up on the mission

#

you need the sog dlc

tardy drift
#

i enabled the sog dlc under the updater in FASTER

umbral narwhal
#

Does the server have the data though? Check if there's a vn folder.

tardy drift
tardy drift
#

still it gave me that error

#

how can i make sure that SOG PF gets loaded? Usually when i just tick it in the above box it does it

umbral narwhal
#

Are you sure that's the server data rather than the client data?

tardy drift
#

it is under arma on the server machine

#

the server machine is independent of my pc

umbral narwhal
#

Doesn't mean that it doesn't have two copies of Arma on it :P

#

I mean, "search results" suggests to me that you don't really know where your data is.

tardy drift
#

You might be right, where would i specifically look?

umbral narwhal
#

look at FASTER's command line.

tardy drift
#

you dont want me to post all of it in here do you?

umbral narwhal
#

The command line? Wouldn't hurt.

oh, they skipped the executable :/

#

There's no vn in there though.

But there is ws, so it looks like either FASTER's UI is completely broken or you're editing the wrong server profile.

Hello everyone, I seem to have come across an interesting issue I havent seen in about 10 years of playing 😅

I started up A3 today and noticed that on start-up, it seems like I had a new profile. Most (not all) of my settings were reverted to default, and for some reason all the profiles have disappeared. Whenever I try creating a new profile, the game crashes. I already verified game files. Anyone have an idea why this is acting up?

pine kite
#

profiles disappeared ..... my guess is Microsoft Onedrive messed up the Arma 3 folders in your documents.

fast ravine
#

nothing looks particularily out of the ordinary

#

also worth mentioning i can still set them inside the parameters tab

pine kite
#

Well, you can shutdown the game, the launcher and Steam. Then rename 'Arma 3' and 'Arma 3 - Other Profiles' to something else. Then when you restart the game it should recreate default folders for them. I just did, while keeping the old folders intact as they are renamed. (AntistasiVanila is the latest used Other Profile I had enabled previously)

image.png image.png
fast ravine
#

I shall give that a shot and report back

pine kite
#

Just add some characters to those folder names. Then you can easily revert back by removing those.

What is wrong

umbral narwhal
fringe salmon
#

so I already have arma 3 downloaded on my HDD1 but my steam client from HDD2 does not recognize arma 3 from HDD 1

uncut trellis
#

have you set up steam folder to the other drive through steam?

fringe salmon
#

ima check

uncut trellis
#

and how did you manage to download it to the other drive

fringe salmon
#

well my HDD 1 is 1TB and I always reserve the full 932GB to be only for arma 3 game and its workshop content, meaning I just add steam library there

uncut trellis
#

so you have the steam library in there and used the install dialog to select that drive?

#

is it external usb drive?

fringe salmon
#

its default sata HDD i selected for Arma 3 to be installed on HDD1 ye

uncut trellis
#

try restarting steam and/or computer

fringe salmon
#

k will do

uncut trellis
#

beyond that its more a steam support thing

fringe salmon
#

k restarted the PC, i shall do steam support, thanks for help

Hey folks, how do you go about finding the offending mod from errors like: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgPatches/usmc_headgear.units'.?

uncut trellis
slow gazelle
#

Is this actual error an issue with the mod?

#

I'm assuming it's RHS stuff but those mods are top of the line obviously

uncut trellis
#

yes

#

but I doubt its one of the actual RHS ones, more likely a compat or retexture mod you have on top

slow gazelle
#

so any other mods that return similar errors, there's nothing we can do to rectify it other than disable it?

uncut trellis
#

correct

slow gazelle
#

I've had these errors before when running mods locally and the game still boots fine and runs okay, but now that I'm trying to set up mods on a Dedicated Server it doesn't even start the mission as a result

uncut trellis
#

well you can inform the mod maker that they got errors

slow gazelle
uncut trellis
#

some of these kinds of errors are not immediately game breaking

#

but they can indicate mod is not very good quality and may contain other more serious errors too

slow gazelle
#

do you know why a Dedicated Server wouldn't even start with those errors?

#

That's what I find weird

umbral narwhal
#

Wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't starting for unrelated reasons.

#

If you post the RPT I can check it.

slow gazelle
#

So I'm a bit motivated to set this up the right way now

umbral narwhal
#

I guess DRO does have dynamic faction support, so it breaking down on bad CfgPatches entries wouldn't be too surprising.

slow gazelle
#

What are CfgPatches exactly?

#

And yeah that probably makes sense since it initializes all the factions at the start for you to select combatants

umbral narwhal
#

Every time a mod adds stuff to config, it adds a corresponding CfgPatches entry.

#

Hence CfgPatches checks are often used to check which mods are loaded.

Hi !

anybody know how to solve this error ?

does anyone know how to fix this issue: i cannot hear RHS M16 and M4s, every other RHS gun audio works fine, these dont, ive alrady trieed repairing the mod

#

You arent using any other mod right? (If you are, remove them, and test again)

olive berry

#

Then its clearly not going to be RHS..

#

it's the only mod that's having an issue

#

plus the modpack has not changed

Fine.

#

Do what you want. Why bother asking for help? It clearly cant be any of your 100+ mods, as you know best.

#

OR you could unload everything apart from RHS (Like I've already said) and see if it works..

Hello. For some reason my server history was eraseed. It has happened before, dont know why.

Also, I used to be able to see THOUSANDS of AMRA3 servers in the launcher, but now I only see a few hundred. Worse, I cannot see my favorite servers and therefore cannot add them to my favorites list.

Any thoughts?

#

Most the posts I can find about this are from 6 years ago, not sure what the current state is to fix it

uncut trellis
#

Try shorter view distances maybe? With long distances you load up massive amount of stuff at once, memory can run out. Also if you got mods on, they can contain less optimized assets that can ramp up memory use faster.

slow gazelle
#

Are the maxMem parameters all placebo?

uncut trellis
#

That is a limiter if I remember right

#

I don't think it's recommended to use it

Why on earth has an arma 2 mod become so popular over the past week

youtube.

ocean cosmos
#

ah
when are we going to start talking about ip violations 😻

its not anyones entertainment.

yeah but gcam was ported without consent so its discussing ip violations in the inappropriate channel.

Hi all, I was wondering what mod incompat/ mod in general could be causing the popup which subsequently causes the fatal error "Include File zegotasounds/BIS_Addoninfo.hpp not found" (which leads to) 0x0000DEAD. Vanilla works fine, so I'm assuming it's an issue with mods.

Take your mod set apart into halves. Test if one of those halves has the mod that causes it. If it does, halve that again and test repeatedly until you are left with one.

Hello, I was just wondering, as I just installed IFA3 AIO, I am not able to launch Arma 3 properly. This is the error I keep receiving...

#

So, IFA3 is completely unusable?

uncut trellis
#

dunno. have not heard anything of it for years

you best bet is to ask in the WW2 projects discord I suppose

#

Thanks, though.

Well I got a response pretty quickly from someone else that it's indeed broken and unusable. Devs don't bother to fix it.

#

have you tried the ingame browser?

pine kite
#

As for why favorites is empty? Don't know where or in what file the launcher stores those favorite servers.

lime sphinx
#

or maybe the launcher just can't see any of the favorite servers online at all so they aren't displayed

pine kite
#

Yeah, I suppose an IP-subnet/range (country?) blocking filter might also cause this.

Perhaps

Hey! I had this issue a while ago! The conflict for me was “Zeus Sound Packs” but it may just be a collection of Zeus sounds for you. (I’d just unload all my sound related Arma mods if you don’t have zeus sound pack)

slow gazelle
#

Hey folks, does Arma 3 use more than 3gb RAM as seen in the Task Manager?

#

I've got a 64gb DDR5 setup but I can't see why it's not using more when I'm facing the 3fps memory leak bug

nova elm
#

Are you running the 64bit exe?

slow gazelle
#

I believe so, it was under Default (64-bit). I've set it to just 64 bit and going to test

#

Not seeing any difference...abysmally low usage just loading into an editor and running around Kavala

golden nova
#

does it happen if you run your game in default settings with no custom parameters?

#

no "gaming goblin" modes in your gpu/cpu/anything software to give you some better experience placebo things?

slow gazelle
#

no none of those placebo software

#

I will try to reset to defaults and see how that works

umbral narwhal
#

3GB is normal for just SP Altis and no assets. I don't think it throws memory at chunks of map that it's not using.

#

Maybe that's an issue if you're using extreme view range + detail settings. I wouldn't know.

slow gazelle
#

I reset parameters to default and it did start using more RAM, up to 6gb in Kavala, but the 3fps bug persists sadly

#

This is with ultra settings but with low view distance (2k)

#

I am assuming the only parameters really necessary from a performance standpoint are hyperthreading, memory allocator, and extra threads right?

umbral narwhal
#

None of those are necessary.

slow gazelle
#

Oh okay, then I'm at a loss

umbral narwhal
#

This is your terrain object popping issue?

slow gazelle
#

Yup

#

It's definitely driven by having a lot of mods loaded simultaneously, but I'm just wondering whether this is a hard limit or whether Arma is just underutilizing my hardware

#

Or rather, not quantity of mods but the types - factions and their assets, for example, seem to make it worse

#

Like 3CB Factions (a 10-12gb mod iirc)

golden nova
#

if arma runs well with no mods, then it is a mod issue

umbral narwhal
#

I think it's not strictly "having a lot of mods loaded" but having a lot of different assets visible.

golden nova
#

you don't need to place stuff from 100 mods you load to have your game CTD, just adding them to loadorder is enough.

slow gazelle
#

they're just in the load order

#

hence why I'm looking at memory utilization issues

umbral narwhal
#

Well, any mod can break anything really.

ocean cosmos
#

are you getting the issue on vr terrain

golden nova
#

stuff from loadorder is transfered to some entry point upon game start, easy proof of that is loading a bunch of biggest terrains with ACE, 9/10 tries will bring you back from splash screen to desktop with error about too many vertex things or whatever

#

so I would simplify that issue to "engine limitation" and just try to load less (broken) mods or bother their authors to optimize models and code they put into their work

slow gazelle
ocean cosmos
#

And how do the terrains perform in vanilla?

slow gazelle
#

without mods?

golden nova
#

vanilla is with no mods yes

slow gazelle
#

yeah, performs totally fine

ocean cosmos
#

How many mods

slow gazelle
#

~280 I believe

#

I know that's a lot, if it's an engine limitation I'll accept that and move on

#

I'm just trying to ensure that it is that since I'm fairly new to modding Arma 3 (but not modding in general)

ocean cosmos
#

thats way too many mods

#

100% engine limitation

slow gazelle
#

Got it, that makes senese

golden nova
#

and it's more about number of PBOs and content they add rather than number of mods per se, copypasting these 200 mods into one modpack will not help

slow gazelle
#

Got it, yeah I didn't realize # of PBOs also made a difference

#

Is it possible to merge PBOs? This is more of a question stemming from Fallout or Skyrim modding

#

Like to circumvent that?

ocean cosmos
#

no

#

only solution is stop using nearly 300 mods

golden nova
#

pbo files are limited to 2GB size and merging them would break any inheritance if "merged" mods were dependant on others

ocean cosmos
#

and also probably illegal for a fair few

golden nova
#

healthy way to play is to load as few mods as possible and only the stuff you need for your ongoing mission or thing you're making, Arma starts fast enough to just alt-F4 it, switch a preset and start it again

slow gazelle
#

Alright, I'll look at what I've got again. I think the main reason I'm doing this is for example to make unit loadouts etc, I don't really know what the length and breadth is of a lot of the bigger mods and it would take forever to individually go through them, so I thought the shotgun approach and explore as-i-needed it would be more efficient

#

didn't realize this would be such a big stumbling block 😦

#

So I should work to reduce the overall # of PBOs loaded as a goal, regardless of size?

golden nova
#

start from reducing the scope of your idea you're trying to make, if you're building modern US Army units - get rid of anything you wouldn't use including gear, terrains, overhauls etc, then go through the mods you have left and see if they don't duplicate themselves, no need to load 15 mods adding AR15s because each one of them has different grips

umbral narwhal
#

We really don't know exactly what limitation or bug you're hitting here but loading more than a couple dozen mods is just a terrible idea in general.

golden nova
#

Arma is modular but to a certain point, you can't enable or disable stuff on fly, whatever you put into loaded mods it will be loaded into the game and take a bit of your performance, this includes compositions and scenarios too

slow gazelle
#

I've tried to describe the bug as best I can but yes, thanks for everyone's help, I think I can try to move forward and pare things down

umbral narwhal
#

If you could replicate it with a much smaller modset then it'd be interesting.

slow gazelle
#

I haven't been able to - with a very core modset (ACE/CBA) it works smooth as butter

#

The reason I'm chasing this rabbit hole is because I wouldn't be happy if it was a misuse or underutilization of hardware due to something I can control

#

IE mod demand = XXX, game is requesting XXX-YYY

umbral narwhal
#

Once you have that many mods loaded, everything is entirely out of your control :P

slow gazelle
#

Yeah haha it sounds like it 😄

ocean cosmos
#

my game gets difficulties at 85 mods lmfao 280 is def too many

slow gazelle
#

It's annoying, a ton of realism/QoL mods take up a huge amount of space

#

And visual mods

ocean cosmos
#

i have no idea what those mods are

#

i dont know of any realism or qol mods that take up much space

slow gazelle
#

But now we're saying space versus # pbos

#

I'm saying # of PBOs taken by any of those (although the size is low) is still substantial

ocean cosmos
#

number of pbos only matters in terms of its adding more content your computer then has to catch up with

slow gazelle
#

got it, so ultimately it's the # of assets (size, mb) that governs the breaking point

ocean cosmos
#

no. how much strain it puts on the game

quaint jewel
slow gazelle
#

?

quaint jewel
#

there is no engine limited number of mods

#

or atleast not that low

slow gazelle
#

so really it's just "strain", so assets and scripts I guess?

hey

#

whenever i play a singleplayer game and while its loading this happens

STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION doesn't tell anything but just a generic error

What you need to tell is more info

thats it

when im in the eden editor

and press enter

#

while its loading halfway in it crashes

steady hawk
#

Okay let me rephrase: How/when you get this error? Any Mods?

fringe salmon
steady hawk
#

Then unload them all to verify it is a Mods' fault or not

fringe salmon
#

when do i get this: whenever its loading a single player mission

#

alright

#

but what if i need the mods

steady hawk
#

No buts

fringe salmon
#

alright

#

thanks

pine kite
#

If loading game works without mods, then mods bad. Then your next task is figuring out which of those mods are harmless and which one is the cause of it failing. And some mods might depend on another so you got to disable them in a certain order to test.

I have an FPS issue where GPU usage drops to near 0 and gives me these horrendous freezes

any mods

#

lots, but I also tried it unloaded and the issue persists

#

by unloaded I mean vanilla

have you ensured your gpu drivers are up to date

#

ahem lemme try that real quick

open a resource monitor or any app to check your hardware temperatures

perhaps it's overheating

something weird with my system maybe?

its unreasonable that after like half hour of playing the process ends up consuming 12gb

#

ace, cup, rhs, dont cause problems like that?

golden nova
#

no, but they also can if you load too many mods

#

or if you run your game with some delusional parameters because you may think your hardware can handle even worse optimized titles

proper rover
#

42 C is the max temp I'm getting

#

so temps is not it

ocean cosmos
#

Max 42c on a3 is definitely sus

ocean cosmos
proper rover
#

my GPU is well cooled and has a 75 W tdp

ocean cosmos
#

What is the max temp you get on another game

proper rover
#

I dunno

#

It's running at 100% nearly and then has these drops so can't be much hotted

#

in any case it's not thermal throttling bcs it'd have to get to something closed to 90 C to even start

ocean cosmos
#

Thats precisely the behaviour one would expect from thermal throttling though

#

Have you tried reinstalling the drivers yet

proper rover
#

I've just updated them

ocean cosmos
#

Reinstall them

proper rover
#

how

#

also it's my only GPU

ocean cosmos
#

google as i cannot remember 100%

proper rover
#

is there any other method that might be better to try first?

#

this seems like a lot of hassle for an issue that is only affecting ArmA 3

ocean cosmos
#

reinstalling drivers takes like 2 minutes

#

and 100% gpu consumption for a3 with such low temp and then dips to 0% really sounds like a drivers issue or youve got something not plugged in properly

proper rover
#

reinstalled drivers

#

same issue, still 42 C

golden nova
#

It's not the CPU, or RAM, or storage since I have overkill for all 3
what is your CPU and RAM

proper rover
golden nova
#

idk then, low GPU usage can be either because of a bottleneck due to other hardware you have, some damage to graphics card or you messed up your parameters/you're loading faulty mods

#

try benchmarking everything in your PC, maybe run 100% vanilla Arma 3 with YAAB benchmark and with all results ask in #hardware_vs_arma, someone may be able to troubleshoot this with you

proper rover
#

how do you paste YAAB results?

golden nova
#

make a screenshot of the results, upload it to imgur and post a link, not sure if it saves that stuff in any "text" way in RPT or anywhere else

proper rover
golden nova
#

yup

#

I'm not a techie, can't tell you much, Groove or others on #hardware_vs_arma have more knowledge on that than me

I'm playing "the redacted" from the laws of war dlc, and from what I googled there's supposed to be callouts when aiming at points of interest with the designator, but I dont get any of them so I cant progress the mission

#

No mods turned on, and I already reverted the mission once in case a script didnt trigger or something

steady hawk
#

You need to spot every targets you need to take care with the ||cluster bomb strike|| using your designator

delicate belfry
#

Yes, and looking at a youtube playthrough of the mission there's supposed to be dialogue happening every time I spot a target. But nothing happens. No dialogue, no new task, nothing

steady hawk
#

You need to use spot key/control, just as you spot an enemy. Just looking wouldn't make you spot the target

delicate belfry
#

Ohhh, nothing in the mission said to actually spot so I just assumed looking in the direction would be enough, like it was in the main campaign

steady hawk
#

Keep me posted if it doesn't

delicate belfry
#

Yeah pressing T started popping up the tasks and the dialogue right away

steady hawk
#

Nice, good luck

The "avoid collateral damage" tasks in the Altis Requiem campaign are completely busted.

Not failing them is a prerequisite for the "No Requiem" achievement but it fails completely randomly, I'd assume from an AI driving over a civilian somewhere else on the map. I didnt even use the AI support groups at all so that they wouldnt commit war crimes on my behalf.

Here's the last 15 minutes (sped up) of me savescumming my way closer and closer to the end of the mission, loading every time the task fails because happened that I didnt do:

You could try lowering AI skill and accuracy to lowest non-zero possible values, perhaps it could make bots dumb enough to just sit in one place

since that is a very popular issue for quite some time now you could also make a ticket in feedback tracker (or subscribe to one if it already exists)

#

Yeah

#

I shouldnt have trusted it when I just a few days ago corrected another achievements requirements there lol

golden nova
#

It is still possible to get the good ending** provided that you do not inflict innocent deaths in the other mission** (i.e. accidentally shot civilians in Lost Horizons but did not call in artillery on Salient Force)

#

that's what I see there, but anyway it's not an official source so it always has to be trusted with a bit of reserve

delicate belfry
#

I cant remember if the task failed in lost horizons, but I didnt shoot civilians

golden nova
#

then I guess it should be re-worded to say that you have to avoid any civilian casualties caused by any side, but that's up to @cyan hawk

delicate belfry
#

I'm not sure it's even civilian casualties. Because in my clip the task failed several times right after I got hit with a missile, so it might even trigger from the players tank being damaged

#

Happened several times earlier in the mission as well, during the first objective

golden nova
#

could be a civilian that was run over by a truck or got hit by a secondary explosion or something, assuming you're playing with no mods

delicate belfry
#

No mods yeah, but the timing was pretty convenient that it failed every time a missile hit me or the ground near me

golden nova
#

download the simple singleplayer cheat menu mod, click Esc during mission and execute something like { _x allowDamage false } forEach (units civilian) to disable damage to all civs present in the mission (may cause a lag depending on how many civilians are there) and check if you will get the collateral damage fail with it

#

it worked for me but I don't remember if I was hit with any rocket during that campaign

delicate belfry
#

I'll test it, I just replayed the first one and I remembered from the ending dialogue that the player character said there was no collateral damage so I'm 100% sure I didnt kill civilians in the first one

#

Replaying the second one now as well

delicate belfry
#

In the second one when I was cleaning up the infantry in the middle of Dorida, I got "task canceled" when an SPG technical took a shot at me. When I completed the objective and started driving away from the town, I got task failed. This was with the allowDamage false, which I tested by trying to shoot a civilian.

#

So there's definitely more than just civilian deaths involved with the mission

#

So I killed off every enemy in Dorida with zeus so there were absolutely none left in the area at the moment, and I got "task canceled" when I drove over a fence

A3 workshop content won't download when Arma is running, turn it off first then either wait until Steam downloads what it wants to download or just restart Steam and let it update all the stuff

@uncut trellis To answer your questions

It's yes to all of them

then its most likely problem with mods (conflicting mods, wrong mods for the mission, broken mods) or badly made mission

I have an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060, an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700F CPU 2.90 GHz and 32 GB of RAM.

I have tried countless different tricks to try and improve my framerate but nothing has ever worked, I've tried running the game on low graphics, high graphics, low render, high render, I've tried turning off certain things, I've even tried playing completely vanilla, but no matter what my FPS always tanks from 45-50 FPS to 25-30 FPS, I've never been able to run Arma 3 smoothly and it's getting to the point where I just don't know what to do anymore.

uncut trellis
#

well your cpu is not the fastest so that might play into it.

minor rampart
#

I've got friends who can run the game smoothly on lower end laptops

uncut trellis
#

do you run the game off SSD or HDD?

#

or external drive?

minor rampart
#

The game is on an external drive but is no different than when it was internal

minor rampart
uncut trellis
#

external drive is usually bad thing, they are usually slower at speed or bottleneck at the usb connection

uncut trellis
#

and possibly google the terms

#

also test stuff without mods

#

mods can easily eat frames

minor rampart
uncut trellis
#

well vanilla is only acceptable test case

minor rampart
#

Is there a way for me to move Arma 3 to an internal drive and keep my mods on an external?

#

Since that's what I bought the external drive for.

uncut trellis
#

possibly if I rememeber right

#

how, dont have the details

steady hawk
minor rampart
uncut trellis
#

yes, you should be able to find instructions on the web

#

but it does not matter as much since you probably dont have options for internal drives

minor rampart
#

Which one would be better to run Arma on?

uncut trellis
#

SSD

minor rampart
uncut trellis
#

internal one that is

minor rampart
#

But my SSD is filled to the brim.

#

So I'll just have to move it to HDD

#

Still better than external

uncut trellis
#

usually yes

#

another thing you can try is to make sure your dont have some fancy GPU enhancements enabled in your nvidia control panel. those are often not very compatible with Arma.
Then you make sure you dont have any bogus launch parameters, those should not be needed to mess with.
And once you get in game try autodetecting settings, set view distance to 2000m and try different rendering resolutions

#

also fullscreen playing should get few frames boost. (but you cant alt tab)

Could someone send me the script for making objects Ace Arsenal

@fringe salmon such things can be asked on the #arma3_questions this is more for technical issues. Aslo you should be able to find such info with google

modest adder
#

Currently had an issue for a few days trying to launch arma. The game loads up as usual but after a bad crash recently it seems even after uninstalling the game and reinstalling it aswell as unsubing from my workshop mods it still thinks I have mods loaded. When I load the game it gives me the "Loading Addons" and then when the game launches on the main menu it shows the mods by name but with no actual content and I cant get them removed.

uncut trellis
#

they dont get deleted by steam

#

and/or you have set launcher with launch parameters which automatically load mods

modest adder
#

Ill dig around my addon files folder quickly. But Ive never actually added or removed files there.

#

Im looking through the PBO files I dont see any that seem out of place.

#

Okay think I found the issue seems the command line somehow was altered to force load the mods?

#

But the mods didn't have any content to actually load.

Nothing will work unless you host it on a rented server directly connected to the internet, OR you get port forwarding working in your router. It protects your local network by ignoring unsollicited traffic from the internet. You'll have to open certain ports in your router. The game offers to do it automatically through UPnP but often the router is not configured to accept that for that (as it can be considered a security risk). Unfortunately configuring a router is different for each brand and perhaps different router models. There is no simple explanation how to do it in every one. You'll have to find manual/documentation or perhaps videos of others how they configured their router that might be similar/the same as yours. In essence you have to port forward UDP protocol port-range 2302-2306 to your server computer's local IPv4 address. (looks like 192.168.x.y, 10.x.y.x or 172.16-31.x.y) And then you need to have your server firewall to also accept those ports for incomming traffic.

#

!localhost

Arma 3
To host a server or a game session locally, you need to make sure first that your WAN address / external IP uses the IPv4 protocol!
Check your router’s status page in the settings to confirm. (If in doubt, ask your ISP, Websites like “whatismyip.com” give you a false positive!)
Local servers and games can not be hosted on an IPv6 network, or IPv4 via DSlite tunnel!
https://www.avg.com/en/signal/ipv4-vs-ipv6
Once you have confirmed that your connection uses the IPv4 protocol, you need to manually open / forward the ports 2302-2306 UDP (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Dedicated_Server#Port_Forwarding)
See your router’s manual on how to do that, or ask google: “<your router model> + port forwarding”

I'm playing co10 escape, which has mag repack. We are also using ace3. Unfortunately ace repack interferes with the repack system on co10 escape (it used to work, but I suppose there's a race condition in which one sets the keybind later). I couldn't find a keybind to remap, does anyone know how I could fix it?

#

Is there some setting I'm overlooking or could I rebind it with a script for people?

umbral narwhal

@green olive You mean they're both binding ctrl+R or what?

I don't think ACE has a hotkey for the mag repack but there are some shift/alt/ctrl+R binds in "ACE weapons" which you could clear or change.

Recently I’ve been encountering an issue in Arma 3 that regardless of what I’m doing, I will get constant frame stutters every three seconds (yes, I timed it.) and I’ve tried everything I can think of to fix it; including but not limited to verifying game files, updating graphics drivers, updating windows, setting the Arma 3 exe to above normal priority in the CPU, and I would greatly appreciate some help.

#

If it does, I’ve wasted your time and I apologize. If not, well, back to the drawing board I suppose.

#

Yeah, still getting the stuttering.

umbral narwhal
#

Are you running any mods?

charred shale
#

Quite a few, yes. About 78 or so, iirc.

#

However, it stutters when I run no mods.

uncut trellis
#

if you subscribed to a lot of compositions try unsubbing from them

#

@charred shale

charred shale
#

Define compositions

uncut trellis
#

compositions are compositions

nothing to define

What I’m saying is, I don’t know what that is.

uncut trellis
#

composition is the thing it is

#

its a preplaced collection of objects you can place in editor

charred shale
#

I have subscribed to no compositions.

golden nova
#

then this is a mod issue, one of you're running.

charred shale
#

As previously stated, it happens when I run the game clean too.

golden nova
#

any scenarios you're subscribed to? have you tried unsubscribing from them?

#

I sometimes get initial freezes after I download too many mods or simply Arma has been on my pc for too long, reinstalling it or at least getting rid of mods fixes that

have you entirely reinstalled

I have a feeling it may be S.O.G Prairie fire, but that’s just a hunch.

umbral narwhal
#

it's fine in game then?

charred shale
#

Negative.

umbral narwhal
#

Meh, cases too different. Feels like it has to be some background abuse or hardware issue.

charred shale
#

I’ve fixed it before, I just can’t remember what I did to fix it.

golden nova
#

try unsubscribing from all of your mods if it's not a problem for you to redownload them again (it's a one button press in Steam and if you have a html preset you can redownload them in one click too). Not sure if that's a real solution but worked for me previously more than once, and I usually start noticing these freezes after I reach 400+ downloaded mods (not loaded, just subscribed)

charred shale
#

I’ll give that a try.

#

Nope. Still stuttering.

#

For what it’s worth, my CPU usage is randomly spiking up and down to 100%.

uncut trellis
#

could be hardware issue too

charred shale
#

My hardware is more than powerful enough to run Arma.

uncut trellis
#

but if something is broken/breaking

charred shale
#

Arma is the only game I have this issue with.

fast ravine
#

Alright, so I'm having problems again with my arma profiles getting corrupted/messed up.

I have already tried deleting the profile folders inside My Documents (A3 profiles + Other profiles). Where else would arma call up profile data? Now my profile is seeing mission files that are not inside it.

#

Also important to note is that whenever arma starts and the profile data is messed up, when I open up the profiles tab there is no profiles listed but the proper profile name displays. And then arma crashes

charred shale
#

I think I found the fix. And I’m going to be very upset if it was that simple.

I am playing the arma 3 cold war crisis campaign mod, I'm on the mission ''guardian'' where I need to escort a convoy of trucks to an airbase, problem is I am unable to make them move by using the ''supports'' in the radio, there is also no ''custom supports''. A couple of missions ago I was also unable to use the same feature for when you were meant to be able to send an additional squad to attack a camp, the supports order was missing. Radio related objectives have worked in the past with this mod, so I don't understand what is up.

Edit: I managed to complete the mission through uh.. improvisation (shooting the convoy drivers and replacing them with my own squad members to order them around) but it would still be good if anyone knows how to fix the radio commands not showing up.

Here is my 2 cents.

  1. ARMA 3 missions in the Steam workshop especially if made by someone who is not actively updating it anymore tend to be very buggy and shit.

  2. You are using playing with mods that interfere with the mission, unload all mods except the ones required by the mission.

and this is a mission that comes with arma 3 itself

It helps if you mention exactly what mission that is. Then other can verify if it goes wrong. No clue what thing you are talking about.

Just a small thing I can get images to appear in a mission, did I put them in the file wrong? I just went to the mission folder, made an image folder and put them in. And they don’t work.

I did, nothing

Are you getting any errors when interacting with things that should make the images appear?

#

Have you double checked the directory in the script?

#

it feels like im playing vanilla and with mods at the same time

#

also notice the different arma 3 icon

#

One of them is locked out of reading the data it needs because the other has a lock on the data.

#

You can't run two instances at the same time

Possibly some input from the game thinking it is in focus when it isn't.

This is on window 10, no mods and already tried verifying files and no missing or corrupted files

#

anyone have any idea on what could help find the issue?

I think that's Arma forwarding an error with Windows failing to read the disk.

#

Check windows event viewer -> system, see if there's some disk error reports in there.

I may need to check for bad sector as wanted to move arma to a new drive and for the first time got a fail to copy

uneven coyote
#

issues fixes thanks for helping. It was something related to the system not reading arma on another drive. Put it on the C drive and working as expected. Not sure if it the drive itself is dying or something else stopping it from allowing data to be accessed. Had more then 100 report of drive issues on the event viewer

Depends on the kind of drive issues. Might want to use a program that can show SMART table values. Could be bad sectors.
