Hello! My arma profile is being set to "read only" and is preventing me from joining my server I play on frequently. After disabling read only in the folder properties it immediately switches back to read only. Does anyone have a fix?

Hello, Is it possible that a certain mod can affect the loading of a certain mission and its download from the server? (a mod on which even the given mission does not depend) [easily three times the time or more..]

uncut trellis

no

#

Can you edit vehicle preset loadouts through arma tools?

ocean cosmos
#

you need to make a config patch for that

lime sphinx
#

so, not exactly trivial. Barely worth the effort. Just setting the pylons by hand/script would cover like 99% of possible usecases 🤷‍♂️

tribal condor
ocean cosmos
#

not worth the hassle

tribal condor
ocean cosmos
#

no

#

aside from using a script

lime sphinx
#

define "inventory"

uncut trellis
#

loadout = weapons on pylons
inventory = stuff inside the inventory of vehicle

lime sphinx
#

so, back to square 1. What's the desired result?

uncut trellis
#

and scripting is the easiest way to manage inventory on the fly

Anyone knows how to make ai use NV ?

golden nova
#

set time to night

crimson escarp
#

i used
_ai action ["NVGoggles", _ai]; command but it aint working

golden nova
#

because it's works in nighttime only

crimson escarp
#

Eh

golden nova
#

lowered down nods are a different model, you would have to make your own config mod

#

if you're looking for examples check polpox's artwork supporter

crimson escarp
#

Any way to make them use it during the day ?

Having an issue with a new server I'm setting up. I get kicked off immediately upon trying to join with no reason given. I've disabled BattleEye and the firewall for purposes of figuring the issue out, and it still persists. Server RPT does not even reflect that I attempted to join, although it can be seen in the console that I connected and then disconnected.

#

Almost 100% confident that it's a mod issue, as my servers mods are not appearing underneath "Expansions" section in the MP browser, but RPT shows the mods are loading.

Hey I have a question, and sorry if this isn't the right chat. Whenever I click the campaign button on the arma 3 menu, it crashes my entire game. I've verified the game files on steam, and there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with it. Arma 3 editor and scenarios work just fine. It's just the Campaign

steady hawk
#

Do you have any Mods loaded?

Have you ever experienced this before?

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.

steady hawk
#

Can you post latest rpt of your crash?

loud owl
#

lemme see

loud owl
#

When it crashes, my screen goes black and I can click widows and see other stuff but other than that everything is black and I can't tab out or even alt f4

steady hawk
#

There should be if you don't have -noLogs Launcher parameter

loud owl
#

Oh ok lemme look

loud owl
steady hawk
#

Either

loud owl
#

Ok

#

ok wait so sorry, how would I go about posting it here?

steady hawk
#

As I said either, you can do it

#

Or if you can't as you don't have the perm, use sqfbin or pastebin

loud owl
#

Ok I think I got it into pastebin

#

Wait so looking into the file itself, it says several times that the cloud provider isn't running

steady hawk
#

Oh?

#

Then the answer should be easy, it's a FAQ here and forums

Hello! Can anyone tell me why my dedicated server can't play the "SCP Darkwoods" mod? It keeps giving this error here

image.png
#

I do have the .pbo file laying in the root folder of mpmissions. I've done this before with DynamicReacon and Opex, and those worked fine! But for some reason it can't find SCPDarkwoods.

pearl sorrel
#

Is it in your server.cfg?

strong ruin
#

This is what the server.cfg looks like

image.png
#

for the mission part

ocean cosmos
#

show mpmissions folder

strong ruin
#

you can see the name on the right side

pearl sorrel
#

85mb?

strong ruin
#

is that too large or small? idk haha

pearl sorrel
#

Thats alot.

#

Doubt thats the issue, just a surprising file size

strong ruin
#

It had a lot of dependencies too haha. But the mod looked cool and wanted to try it out with my friends

image.png
#

When I try it in singleplayer it loads finee. Just installing it on the server has problems

pearl sorrel
#

Is the maps filename correct?

ocean cosmos
#

doubt its the issue but you dont need to end with .pbo

#

try without just in case

strong ruin
#

Oooooooo wait yeah, I remember something like that, let me try.

strong ruin
#

But don't know what to look for

ocean cosmos
#

i always just have YYYYY.Altis as my active mission so I change the mission filename to YYYYY and then change the map name instead to save headache

you see the map filename appending any saved missions on the map, pretty sure thats right for taunus though

strong ruin
#

will keep that in mind !

#

so I think it sorta started when i removed the .pbo, but now it has a bunch of other errors 😂

image.png
ocean cosmos
#

try join like that but youre missing a bunch of mods

strong ruin
#

so they are downloaded on the server but i guess it didn't accept them in the commandline ?

ocean cosmos
#

niarms, "MK50" (whatever that is), mbg buildings, "Horror_Units_Pat" and "CUP_Editor" (probably part of cup core/maps)

ocean cosmos
#

use the default tcadmin commandline

strong ruin
#

whats the default tcadmin?

#

kinda new still to all of this

ocean cosmos
#

commandline manager -> predefined commandlines -> ensure first one is selected

#

thats assuming you have a first one idk if its my server host that adds that or not

strong ruin
#

like this? I removed the IP and such

image.png
#

well not removed, just hidden it

#

this was the one under the predefined list

ocean cosmos
#

oh mine is different it automatically loads all installed mods
i would assume so?

strong ruin
#

yeaahh i remember it adding to this list whenever i installed mods

#

i was using a custom one earlier and changing it myself, but i'll try this one

ocean cosmos
#

yeah use that one

#

mine just looks like this after the ip and port so its pretty easy for me

image.png
strong ruin
#

awgh it just freezes when i try to join the server in the game, and gives same errors in the console 😭
I am gonna try and add " xcam_taunus " to the "world" thingy

#

and hopefully that works

pearl sorrel
#

Folder Names on the server need to be the same as the commandline (or vice versa)

#

and ideally remove any spaces.

strong ruin
#

alrighty i'll double check to make sure

#

for some reason i saw the Horror_Mod had like

#

two of these " @@" on it

#

idk if I should keep both or rename it in the commandline and the folder itself

pearl sorrel
#

@@ wont work unless the mod folder is named @@modname

strong ruin
#

yeah it is named like this

image.png
#

and came like this

pearl sorrel
#

Then that'll be fine. Just ensure the others follow the space removing

strong ruin
#

alrighty gonna double check and make sure

pearl sorrel
#

Also special characters can mess with it. pretty sure & isnt recognised

strong ruin
#

Oooooo, so the xcam_taunus one actually had a & in it I think

#

I'll try removing any special characters

pearl sorrel
#

same with ' on webknight's

strong ruin
#

having the underscore _ sign is fine right?

pearl sorrel
#

_ - . () should be fine

strong ruin
#

Alright, named them to a lot more basic naming. Hopefully this works!

image.png
#

Now I got this error 😂

image.png
ocean cosmos
#

"CA_E" isn't too helpful but probably means it needs CUP terrains core properly loaded or something 🤷

strong ruin
#

Like it failed to load the map?

ocean cosmos
#

server wont start while it requires addons

strong ruin
#

That is really strange, it should have everything it needs now right? I'll mess around with the commandline some more and see what I can do.
Thanks so much for the help so far though!

ocean cosmos
#

double check cup terrains core is installed properly but CA_E isn't a very helpful pbo name

strong ruin
#

let me double check

ocean cosmos
#

its also not present in cup terrains core on my install so... 🤷
cup maps possibly? god knows with that name, you may have to disable cup maps

strong ruin
#

It is a shame because I can't see the file sizes of this on the server, so I can't reference it back with my own files on my PC

image.png
#

But they are there at least

#

Alright, I'll try disabling just the maps one and leave core on

#

Nah it still gave the error. I tried googling the "CA_E" thing to see if someone else online knew what it was.

image.png
#

So this guy says Steam has a tendency to corrupt large mod downloads, so maybe it corrupted it when the server tried to install it.
I might manually upload the file

#

And if it still doesn't work, gonna give up 😂

ocean cosmos
#

reinstall the mod once and then manually upload if it corrupts again

strong ruin
#

Okay! Will do

static wyvern
#

Arma 3 looks blurry to me right now. Some sources online say its depth of field, but I've tried adjusting the setting and nothing changes. To be clear, this includes objects in focus as well. I have NVIDIA Control Panel open trying to fix it, but is there a setting anyone knows of to fix this?

#

The problem seems worse in Fullscreen Window, but persists in Fullscreen even across resolutions

uncut trellis
static wyvern
#

The only mod enabled is CBA

#

I'll try without, but I dont know if that would cause the issue

#

Also my game crashes everytime I take off any helicopter. Only started doing this today. Verified local files and everything

uncut trellis
#

oof

static wyvern
uncut trellis
#

maybe steam bugging with the download

#

unfortuantely no. You could try clearing the steam download cache

#

you are missing a mod it was made with

im getting 40 FPS playing the east wind campaign bruh

with this computer
anyone have any idea why?
ive always struggled with FPS in arma

screen1.png
#

i do play with mods

#

im sure this pc is more than enough to run the game at atleast 60 fps +.

#

and im literally on 1500 view distance lmfao

ocean cosmos
#

playing the campaign with mods with 60fps doesnt happen

#

arma with mods at 60fps with anything happening also rarely happens

#

the engine doesnt take full use of the hardware available, use the performance guide on the wiki 🤷

pine kite
#

Auto-detect settings to get the proper baseline for performance. Tweaking your own settings down might actually make it worse as the game shifts the load to the CPU.

fringe salmon
fringe salmon
#

its usually in cities or towns where it dips down to 40 fps

#

im using msi afterburner to monitor the fps, when i check the in game fps through the pause menu its usually 20 more than what afterburner says

ocean cosmos
#

thats because the game is paused when you check the fps that way

fringe salmon
#

i would understand that fps in multiplayer. but in the singleplayer campaign i feel like thats way too low\

#

bruh

#

now i cant load campaign saves lmfao

#

what

#

"Noentry A3/Missions/F_EPA/Campaign/description.ext/Campaign/missions/Cm01.Continue

#

whenever i die or try to load my saved campaign game that comes up

#

anybody know why?

#

i tried doing it in vanilla and it doesnt so I know its some mod probably

pine kite
#

Don't use mods with vanilla campaign missions! Expect them to break.

fringe salmon
pine kite
#

None!

#

If you do, don't complain about funny stuff.

fringe salmon
#

dang ok

fringe salmon
# pine kite None!

what about something like antistasi? if i unload it to play a vanilla campaign mission will it make me lose my ssaved antistasi progress?

pine kite
#

If you don't want to play Antistasi, don't load the mod. If you do want to play Antistasi, you don't want to play the vanila campaign. Your Antistasi save is independant from your campaign saves. (Antistasi stores in the profilename.vars.arma3profile or AntistasiCommunity.vars file if using their mod)

#

Mods can mess other mods up (interfere with them) even if you don't intend to use them. Don't load mods you don't need.

#

Loading them unnecessarily only wastes memory space and CPU performance. It doesn't benefit you. Use the mod preset in the launcher to easily change modsets.

strong ruin
# pine kite Remove the ".pbo" there

thank you! i tried that and it seemed to have solved definitely some of the problems but I think the actual files turned out to be corrupted 😭

#

but at least one step forward!

#

I told the dedicated server to reinstall the mods twice, but it kept giving missing files and dependencies issues. so I decided to upload them manually

#

Still waiting for the upload to finish, it is about 70-80% done

#

And I think they were indeed corrupt because I have a pretty decent internet, and it is taking a couple of hours to upload the 13GB of files

#

Where as when I told the server to download and install it, it did it in a few mins which sounds way too fast, so maybe it didn't do it correctly haha

strong ruin
#

Alright, still didn't work 😂

#

I am gonna give up on the SCP Darkwood mod, I can't get it to run T_T

pine kite
#

Lets start with no mods. And add a mod one by one while testing in between if it works.

#

Also, uploading via FTP is best done in binary file transfer mode. Sometimes 'auto' or 'text' transfer mode have the occasional corruption.

Hello guys, me and my friends play modded arma and today we found a strange bug, we cannot see eachother servers, i had the same issue with another friend and could not resorve it by checking IPv6 and that stuff, tried the same now but nothing.

umbral narwhal
#

Strange part is that it ever worked, tbh.

#

Were you using UPNP or what?

keen trench
#

But now even if it turns it on it dosent work anymore

#

(I play with geforce)

umbral narwhal
#

might be his ISP went CGNAT.

keen trench
#

How could we fix it?

umbral narwhal
#

CGNAT is where the service provider adds another layer of IP translation between you and the internet to save on IPs.

#

If you have it then you can't host Arma, at least without using a VPN.

#

Sometimes you can still ask the ISP to give you a proper IP.

#

There are other possibilities though. UPNP is pretty conditional.

keen trench
#

How can i request a IP?

#

My friend is the one that usually hosts

umbral narwhal
#

What ISP is your friend on?

paper silo
#

Its like a national one for us

umbral narwhal
#

UK?

paper silo
#

No czech republic

umbral narwhal
#

yeah I'm probably gonna struggle to look that up :P

paper silo
#

I hosted the server multiple times and it worked

#

dunno why it stopped today

umbral narwhal
#

If you know how to see your router config then you can check by comparing the WAN IP listed in the router UI with the results of googling "what's my ip".

#

Also worth checking that UPNP is still enabled in there.

#

Windows will also disable UPNP if you're set to a public (as against home or work) network or network discovery is disabled.

#

Could happen after a windows update. Sometimes they reset stuff.

Hello
I'm not sure where to put this but I need help with arma 3
And today i enter to arma 3 and is in English and also in another resolution but in the settings was all put in the correct resolution etc
And I don't remember how it was but then I got the right resolution.
I guess it was in the option to change user, I do not understand anything about that either, I go where users are created and changed and I only had one that I created yesterday and I always had one that I could not delete I think called "USER". No idea, but when I select the user I am using and give him cancel or accept etc, the game freezes and the game closes.
And another thing related to the language is that I put it in Spanish and after giving it acceptance it sends you to restart the game so that the change is made but after that it is still in English, yesterday I spent the same but I do not know how I managed to put it in Spanish I went to my user and I gave him discard without me knowing that he put that in English (because I am Spanish) and after that The game was closed and then I went in and it was in Spanish
I don't know what's going on help me

#

And before yesterday after installing the game after a long time I spend too. That had never happened to me before.

mental river
#

but I think your problem is caused by One Drive

orchid gate
#

what is Arma3.cfg. ?

mental river
#

game settings

polar junco
#

I installed the patch put out today and my anti-virus detected a file, 'BEService_x64.exe', as a form of malicious software and deleted it.
I don't know if its just my AV being overtly cautious or the file was actually malicious. Either way, rather strange.

mental river
#

without it you can't access many battleEye protected servers

bronze river
#

just in case, try to verify game files to get those files back

mental river
#

you can just restore it from quarantine. and then tell your AV to ignore/whitelist it

orchid gate
#

The same thing keeps happening to me

polar junco
orchid gate
bronze river
#

it's a generic error

or does it crash after launch?

orchid gate
#

after

# orchid gate

And if I now give any of those options of the left image, the game closes

mental river
orchid gate
#

And another problem I have is that if I change the language to Spanish and restart it is still in English

mental river
#

well like I said the problem is probably One Drive

orchid gate
#

one drive why

mental river
#

it always causes problems

#

idk why

orchid gate
#

What do I have to do?

mental river
#

disable one drive maybe blobdoggoshruggoogly

go to another folder
right click

#

I already deleted it now that I do?

would be nice if you can provide the screenshot of the error

again provide the screenshot of the issue

#

have you tried creating a new profile?

orchid gate
#

I appear without users, only with the user that comes by default but I have more users look

orchid gate

more profiles

orchid gate
pine kite
#

Something messed up the location of your profiles. The last screenshot with the DLLs looks like Arma 3 root folder in Steam. Those profiles (all the things with '.Arma 3Profile' do no belong there. Check in the launcher, parameters tab, what is behind the Profiles path parameter.

#

I have to get back to work now.

# orchid gate Where are they going? in Documents\Arma 3 ?

The main profile based on your Windows account name in 'Documents\Arma 3', and secondary custom made profiles from within the game ends up in 'Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\profilenameWhatever' At least, that is where they should belong. That parameter perhaps points to where they went for some odd reason.

steady hawk
#

Normal

orchid gate
#

ok

steady hawk
#

What is not normal? Not normal how?

orchid gate
#

Never mind

steady hawk
#

Wat

bronze river
#

what is not normal is you put your profile file in your arma 3 root/main folder

orchid gate
orchid gate
#

but the main profile is called "User"

orchid gate
#

I don't understand anything I'm confused

#

I need help with my problem

#

Arma3 Profile files don't go in the root folder? @bronze river

brave hawk
#

@orchid gate don't crosspost in #general_chat_arma , here is the place to ask and wait for an answer to your issue

brave hawk
orchid gate
#

I did it to get him to get into this channel and help me

orchid gate
orchid gate
orchid gate
brave hawk
#

depends
I use the default account (which is using my Windows account name, "Lou Montana")
it may be Other Profiles if you created a new profile

orchid gate
brave hawk
orchid gate
#

I'm wrong, do you speak Spanish?

brave hawk
#

only a bit, let's say I can understand it and survive in a Spanish environment 😉

orchid gate
brave hawk
#

well it most likely takes the Windows username; as in, if on Windows account creation it was "User" then just rename it, the user directory is still \User\

orchid gate
#

I was wrong

brave hawk
#

only a new Windows account or heavy unrecommended low-level reworking will actually change the username iirc

orchid gate
#

ok

#

but my problem is that when entering to edit my weapon 3 profile I gave ok, cancel or any other option and close the game and I get an error window

#

I deleted the profile files from the root folder, is that okay?

#

The main profile with my Windows name is also there

#

@brave hawk

brave hawk
#

I have no idea what is the issue
I would say

  • backup all the profiles you can find
  • delete them all (not the backups, hey :p)
  • create a new profile from within the game
  • find its directory and work with that
orchid gate
#

I already deleted them I only have the main one

brave hawk
#

are they in your Windows' User dir or in the game's root?

orchid gate
#

in the root folder I also have the main one I do not know if I should delete it

#

I Rename the profile file but still call user in weapon folder 3 within documents

#

but here no

image.png
orchid gate
#

I do not understand what happens I deleted all the profiles of the root folder and I only have the main one with the name of windows in Documents / arma 3

#

After that in the parameters of The Launcher I do not get any profile to select as in the previous image

#

and within parameters I went to the option profile folder and select the path of my main profile in documents /arma 3 and then if I get but when starting the game I stay with the phrase ¨Loading Core Confg¨

#

I don't know what to do and I don't know what I do, I can't play

pine kite
orchid gate
#

I think I'm going to delete all the files from the root folder, uninstall the game in installing it again (anyway I think I don't lose anything and I only have the Vanilla campaign and Apex protocol)

orchid gate
#

but I put this

pine kite
#

Make a bigger screenshot! I dont know what that path is for.

orchid gate
#

And here comes this

orchid gate
#

i put this path

#

That last is how it is supposed to look

But I removed OneDrive from the start. I don't want it to mess with my document folder.

but if I remove that path in launcher/paremeters "profile folder" I no longer get that and this happens to me after deleting all the profile files from the root folder

No

Well, 64-bit platform, if you want to make use of memory above 4GB.

look your dm please

pine kite
#

Please don't move this discussion to direct messages. Nothing in it was secret. And nobody else learns from this. Or can help if they can't read it.

orchid gate
#

ok

pine kite
#

He showed me a screenshot of the parameter (-profiles=) containing the path to the Arma 3 root install folder in Steam library on his drive. So that would explain the incorrect location of the profile files.

orchid gate
#

In the root folder also had this, I do not know why

orchid gate
#

And I just removed it again because you said there should be nothing

pine kite
#

Then why would you do that if it was empty before?

orchid gate
#

I do not know, looking for a solution I do not know what to do

#

Can I broadcast you privately so you can see what's going on?

#

It's like reading the root folder, because when I had the profile files I left to be able to select a profile in the parameters of the launcher but now that there is nothing like that I can not

#

I also don't understand computers well and all that.

pine kite
#

Try to uninstall and reinstall first. See if that fixes anything. Before reinstalling, make sure to remove the Arma 3 profile folders in your Documents, and also the C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Arma 3 C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Arma 3 Launcher folders to fully eradicate the Arma settings/config.

orchid gate
#

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that before I had the game on another disc and now when I reinstalled it I have it on another?

orchid gate
#

So I delete it completely?

#

root folder steam too?

pine kite
orchid gate
#

I have already installed and reinstalled the game several times

pine kite
#

Yes, completely clean.

orchid gate
#

ok

pine kite
#

Make sure Steam is logged off too.

orchid gate
#

i dont understand that part

#

well I delete the folders ARM3 and ARMA 3 launcher I do not know if you referred to that or delete the user profiles within them

#

@pine kite

#

but I think I don't care about deleting anything I just want to solve the problem

pine kite
orchid gate
#

delete what you said before and it still happens to me the same, he welcomed me as a new player and then I went to my user I gave him accept and em took out of the game

#

I'll try now to delete all that you said now

orchid gate

#

Now I'm installing it arma 3 again

the options I tried was to uninstall the visual 2013 and steam verification I have done many times to run the file checker tool I do not know how it is

Why is it seemingly next to impossible to get my 34 inch ultrawide to display Arma in a non stretched 1920x1080?

Video settings have some way to adjust

I mean it's like the video settings don't do anything correctly.

I change it to non stretch and it's stretched more than on the stretch setting.

It displayed correctly once for no reason and told me I needed to restart to finish applying. I restart and it's back to being stretched

@junior heron is your server local hosted or rented?

junior heron
#

Local Hosted

uncut trellis
#

then you likely need to do portforwarding to open the server network traffic to public

#

!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”

junior heron
#

Wait actually im the one hosting it

uncut trellis
#

yes and you need to set up your internet connection so that others can join your hosted game

You might want to start removing any superfluous mods. That RPT is not the result of testing without mods. I see a bunch of terrain mods loaded together. You can only play on one at a time. Just keep removing mods until it starts to work.

For Steam the error code 2 usually means the servers are too busy to handle your request, although in that case it should say so in the error message.
Something else that might go wrong is that you try to upload files which shouldn't be uploaded (like source files), causing an error at Steam.

Hey everyone, I have a question that I hope someone can give me context on.

Im running a dedicated modded server, the mods work perfectly fine on it, all of them load and all the keys are in the key folder.
I make a mission with a game master, and allow access to unofficial addons, but when I export it as a pbo and put it into the server, Im unable to access any of the modded content when I'm using Zeus. Any ideas?

Are you starting with -autoinit or not?

Hrn. I'm throwing together a small mission to help teach some modded content to a new player; in editor, of course, everything works fine. Heck, things work fine in multiplayer - I kept it simple.

The problem is, not all of the modded actions that are available to Zeus in the editor are available in the dedicated server i'm hosting it on.

It is more than the vanilla options, and 'Allow all addons, even unofficial' is selected, and I am logged in as admin. While it is most of the modules I'd need to have a good constructive time, it's missing a lot of fire support options (limited to just vanilla) and things like Full Heal or Add Arsenal.

However when I checked the server load it didn't seem to be doing much (around 20% server cpu load) just wondering if there's something I'm missing something?

and its not something that can be walked through since the common fixes have not seemed to help

#

mind you im not a paid tech expert, nobody here is. we are all just community people trying to help each other when possible

knotty river
#

yeah trying to help meaning some peoples brains dont work the same way as others

#

also troubleshooting generally means someone to talk to just like on the FIveM server i help run we voice and video with people to help them fix their issues not because we have to but because its the smartest and most efficient way of helping people and actually being able to see their screen oh wow actually lets you see the problem in real-time

blobdoggoshruggoogly well you do that if you can. thats fine

#

im out of ideas anyway so lets hope someone else got some. It is middle of the night in europe though so you may need to wait some more for people to wake up

in the meantime you could try steam tech support too since it sounds a bit like it could be a problem on steams services

and possibly try to get a picture of that error message

Trouble with Steam is that it does its own consistency maintenance, so when it does screw up you're fighting against it.

young flare
#

My game runs avg 120 fps very high but the stuttering just makes it so bad. I found out it’s the object rendering and I don’t know how to fix it. Can someone help?

pearl sorrel
#

Lower your object settings...

young flare
#

Are they under video?

umbral narwhal
#

Usually stutter in Arma is from object loading not rendering.

young flare
#

Yeah but where do I make that stop

umbral narwhal
#

Putting Arma on an SSD helps a lot.

#

Otherwise don't run out of RAM.

It's probably one specific mod breaking things. Usually Bloodlust.

young flare
ocean cosmos

disable it

old and broken mod

umbral narwhal
#

If that doesn't help, disable everything and add mods gradually.

young flare
#

Aight okay thanks for the help

#

Arma mods don’t like getting updated huh

umbral narwhal
#

Often they're just a bad concept in the first place.

#

You can't do anything you want in Arma and have it perform acceptably.

Not sure what you mean as the glitch. The clipping in the lower left corner? Or the moire pattern in the white of the shield. I am just asking to clarify for others. As I wouldn't know either of the solutions.

#

Noisy shadow

pine kite
#

I guess that means the moire pattern? the wavey grey curves on the white on the shield? Or something else?

#

Doesn't ring a bell to me. I don't remember my ambient occlusion settings to be honest. (I do have a Nvidia 3060 in my laptop, so it's probably enabled)

golden nova
#

if you set it to max and check, for example, the basketball pole, you will see the ambient occlusion of any object that is behind it. It looks similarily to that black noisy stripes on patch

#

few guesses about the patch

  1. it was exported to PNG from your graphic editor without flattening the layers first
  2. non-square size of your patch
  3. uniform has something bad included in config that it makes the patch be considered when you have ambient occlusion enabled
#

if this is not a3units patch but your .paa file, apart from "1." make sure you saved it in DXT5 profile in texview

#

here's what AO does to PiP sometimes

# golden nova if you set it to max and check, for example, the basketball pole, you will see t...

Just checked in the Editor at a basketball patch south of Kavala. I have ambient occlusion set to HBAO+Strong. Last in the list so I suppose that is maxed out. I do see a semi-transparent backboard, with the bulding behind it showing through. It could be intended as semi-transparent material. But I guess it shouldn't be. Thanks for pointing it out. I will have to investigate that further.

#

I don't see any stripe pattern though. (The backboard doesn't cast a shadow either, only the supporting frame behind it does)

golden nova
#

it might depend on size of the object behind or light conditions, I've been checking this out a long time ago and eventually forgot as I think this was labeled as "won't fix"

#

if you have VSM mod, its vests and some helmets may create these stripes too.

dire finch
golden nova
#

ok

dire finch
#

It shows up on screens like that too

#

Super odd as I have never had that issue before

#

I might try to reset my graphics settings because it did the NVIDIA auto detect for arma

golden nova
#

so you say the same patch on the same uniform didn't have that issue before?

#

have you tried disabling AO in arma graphic settings

Mod air support

golden nova
#

base troubleshooting of mods is

  1. you get an error with mod
  2. disable half of your mods and see if it still throwing errors
  3. if it does, repeat step 2 until it starts working again
#

if you are sure you have issue with this one specific mod (with no other mods loaded), contact the mod author

rugged parcel
#

Air support and its mods just don't work

golden nova
#

they might be just broken and you can't really do anything about that, contacting the author and telling him what errors you get in what situations and waiting until he makes a fix is the only way

Okay

golden nova
#

@silent gale do you happen to have a USB headset?

silent gale
#

I do

golden nova
#

Arma 3 does not like that hmmyes

silent gale
#

But a bluetooth one.

golden nova
#

check pinned messages

#

yeah the protocol does not matter really, it's about being a USB, either cable or dongle

#

it's something with new windows drivers that makes arma crash, in pinned messages there is a solution that may work for you too

#

easiest way is to get a headset with jack plug 😄

silent gale
#

Alright, i'll try the different things you mentioned. I'll get back to you after!

silent gale
golden nova
#

i managed to get Audiotechnica's headphones with Behringer interface and separate microphone on a boom arm in price of my Logitech G PRO X headset I sold earlier, it may be a good investment if you have space for that and you ever plan to record videos, livestream or listen/create music profesionally (and playing Arma 3 with no crashes is included)

#

still, the "crash while in helicopter" is often caused by that windows audio driver issue so following that guide from pins should solve that

silent gale

silent gale
#

@golden nova In the pinned message about the USB thing, there is an Email. I followed the email, downloaded what needed downloading. So now, the issue should be gone? I don't need to enable anything in game or something? It just automatically works?

golden nova
rugged parcel
golden nova
#

I am not sure what do you mean

#

in Game Master/Zeus module you select the (include unofficial ones) as you wrote before

rugged parcel

When I opened Game Master and selected in the settings what would be - The whole add-on (including unofficial ones) Everything worked for me.

silent gale
golden nova
#

it might be like that when you play the game in fullscreen or in different resolution than the native one

#

I would say it's something from Geforce Experience

silent gale
#

probably, I do use geforce

#

so that's just something I have to live with?

#

no getting around it?

golden nova
#

you can switch to window/borderless fullscreen in game settings and make sure your game is running in your screen resolution

golden nova
# rugged parcel .

sorry mate but I really do not get what is your current issue. Can you make some screenshots with what is wrong

silent gale
#

oh, and by the way @golden nova , what drawing distances do you recommend?

golden nova
#

depends on your specs

silent gale
#

I can get them if needed

#

I already wrote them down

golden nova
#

as high as possible for air assets, for ground units it depends on what terrain you play

silent gale
#

Processor: Intel Core i5-10300H CPU
Memory: 8 GB
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 x Intel UHD Graphics

silent gale
golden nova
#

it's a laptop so I wouldn't keep it very high unless you want it to overheat

#

probably around 2k will be playable max for you

silent gale
#

got it

golden nova
#

if possible you can get CH View Distance mod to change the render distance on fly depending on your framerate

silent gale
#

also using the fullscreen window option takes care of the issue when exiting and opening arma, but it takes my fps down by like 15-20

golden nova
#

window causes your OS to render everything that's on your screen while fullscreen renders only that one app so that's possible but I've never seen such big fps drop lol

silent gale
#

it might have been because both discord and spotify were open in the background?

golden nova
#

might be

#

with how Arma 3 works it's better to close any app you don't need, especially on mid hardware

#

fullscreen will give you the benefit of few more FPS but then you have to cope with black screen everytime you alt tab, not to mention that alt-tabbing itself may cause a crash

ocean cosmos

anything beneath your view distance isn't fully rendered

I meant that you can manually adjust if you don't like being on 10 fps

there was another mod based on CH but I do not remeber its name as of now

#

probably "Dynamic View Distance" or something

#

but sometimes you have to stick to 10k even if you have 10fps and this mod didn't care about it at all

Every helicopter. Primarily interested in Littlebird, but anything with props seems to trigger it. Vanilla or modded. Tried various civilian vehicles and tried shooting from various military vehicles. The triggers seem to be any propeller, or close proximity to the operating engine of a modded vehicle. Tried with RHS GREF and ION PMC so far.

Various posts on Steam and BI forums suggest variations of checking/validating files, deleting caches, and increasing memory priority. I've had the friend to a fresh install, and he says that he has gone into task manager to set the priority for Arma 3 to 'high' and run it as administrator.

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.

# white mulch Is there any way to change the name of the profile the game created automaticall...

No it is based on your Windows/Operating system username. It is fixed, and is located in the Documents\Arma 3 folder. (While you may be able to rename the display name of your user account, it doesn't change the underlying foldername on your drive. So this might not change anything)

You can create a new profile from within the game and name it however you want. Then this gets stored in 'Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles'. Ofcourse this will have default settings which you may need to transfer over. And any saves for scenarios will not transfer over either.

# ornate path does anyone have any idea?

The error has no specific details by which mod or scenario it is related. So could be anything. The only way to figure out what is causing it is by not loading the mod and check if the error returns. You can usually speed it up by removing halve of the mods (and the ones it is dependent on) and check if the error comes back. Though, it might also be in the scenario you are trying to play. If that is it, then drop the scenario, or tell it's creator you are getting this error and he/she needs to fix it. If you created the scenario in the editor, then you messed something up.
