he can't figure out how to unban me

vivid lion
#

hi
since two month i have this error + game's crash (not server, just game of the player)
1:10:06 x (268435456) out of range <0, 1024)
1:10:15 y (1175506404) out of range <0, 1024)

Any idea ? :/

umbral narwhal
#

@vagrant mason See if he has a ban.txt file in the Arma program folder.

umbral narwhal
#

Depends where the steam library is.

vagrant mason
#

just in the common file

umbral narwhal
#

Default would be something like c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\

vagrant mason
#

Yes but for Ban.txt

umbral narwhal
#

There.

#

oh, #exec clearbans might work too.

vagrant mason
#

he doesn't

#

we'll try that though

#

@umbral narwhal Nope

#

command didn't work either

#

no ban.txt, and #exec clearbans didn't work either

umbral narwhal
#

You're fucked then.

vagrant mason
#

that's helpful

umbral narwhal
#

shrugs

#

Only answer in existence as far as I can tell.

#

There's a separate ban list for battleye, but I don't think there's any way of adding to that when localhosting.

Hello guys, new player here, I am having a problem with starting the game

#

once I click play on the launcher button, I get this error : addon 'A3_Armor_FBeta_APC_Tracked_01' requires addon 'A3_Armor_F_Beta'

#

Verify your game through Steam. Some files are probably corrupt somehow.

sleek phoenix
#

the game starts, I see the bohemia interactive black screen and the game crashes, giving the error : Bad animation file format in file 'a3_cargoposes_f\pilot_smallheli_getin.rtm

!steamverify

rustic eagleBOT
#

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

sleek phoenix
#

should I reinstall?

pine kite
#

Delete all files in " Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Addons" and verify again. Maybe Steam doesn't notice it is bad. This should force it to download.

sleek phoenix
#

thank you, I'll try now

pine kite
#

It does force it to download 15 GB though. But better be thorough about it.

sleek phoenix
#

It worked, thank you a lot

we got an NFO server and we run a decently Modded version of arma 3, we are having terrible terrain clipping and trees flickering. It is not just one person almost everyone on the server at the same time has issues. Just wondering if anyone has heard of this issue and maybe how to fix it id appreciate any help.

buoyant rose
#

I don't have screenshots its just the terrain flickering, trees rapidly flickering and frames will drop to 2-3

restive sequoia
#

Sounds like a mod issue blobdoggoshruggoogly

buoyant rose
#

yeah thats my guess.

restive sequoia
#

Which terrain ?

buoyant rose
#

happens most on maps with Apex assets but will do it on any, even Altis

restive sequoia
#

When i think about it, it sounds like the "3 FPS bug"
Which should be fixed as far as i know meowsweats

buoyant rose
#

it is that bug, everyone Tposes and we go to 1-3 FPS.

Changing FOV causes bugs (exactly like that) and just isn't supported

Ah yeah, see I didn't see that reply. I'll take a quick look

quaint jewel
#

Also as my 2 year old reply in that ticket said, it seemed to be a corrupted texture file.
So have you tried to verify your game files via steam?

vivid lion
#

You want also that i create new ticket ?

quaint jewel
#

no need now that I know where it is

vivid lion
#

Thanks

#

zip is easier as my tool supports it directly

#

but rar is ok

#

extracting two lines out of the hundreds of lines of RPT is not useful.
There is a reason why the info thats in the RPT is in the RPT

#

For example, the RPT would tell me if you're using USB Audio output, that could explain the crash I'm seeing

#

And the RPT would tell me what mods and mission you're running, which could explain why there are objects millions of meters outside of terrain bounds. (the out of range message you're getting)

It crashed while creating a ace blood drop model at 0,0,0

Your crash is completely unrelated to the ticket you posted on.
I assume either USB Audio output (unlikely), or bad mod spawning objects waaaaaaaay out of bounds

I got a addon that has number o PBOs in it.
I just added a lot of PBOs that I was sent (by the author) to add them to the addon, signed them using DSUtils, uploaded to workshop and everything.
Yet I still get error saying some (of the added) PBOs are not signed by key trusted by the server (both server and client using steam worskhop version).
DSUtils signature check finds no problem whatsoever.

Any idea what could be happening? The added PBOs are custom objects that we use to create structures.

If there's a better channel for this, let me know. Didn't find one that is aimed at packaging of addons

The pbo's don't have multiple bisigns per pbo?
You have other pbo's, signed with same key, that work?
That tool were the pbo's packed with? they might be corrupted or packed with tools that don't conform to standards. (though in that case signature check should detect that)

One bisign per pbo

Never had problem with the ones I made myself

That tool were the pbo's packed with? they might be corrupted or packed with tools that don't conform to standards. (though in that case signature check should detect that)
That I don't know. But my best guess would be PBOManager, will find out and come back to you.

And to be sure, the bikey is in the keys folder on the server

pine kite
quaint jewel
tame latch
#

Copy that, will give it a try. Hopefully I'll be able to trigger an update on the server

#

Is PBOManager bad only if I want to sign it? For missions it's alright right? monkaHmm

quaint jewel
#

yes

tame latch
#

Copy that. Thanks for the info, had no idea. It was the "perfect" tool in my mind

#

Ok, Addon Builder can't build it some of the pbos.

Your server, your setup, your connection. Test it by starting with minimum complexity. If you don't know what is wrong, increase complexity slowly.

Everything steam related is on my C drive

it might be something with the commandline

On my dedicated server I don't have Steam installed (well SteamCMD, but it doesn't run unless I need to update Arma 3 server) So I don't see why you should need to run it. In the rpt log file it does initially mention 15:50:19 SteamAPI initialization failed. Steam features won't be accessible! But this doesn't prevent me connecting or playing on it from another client game computer in my network. If you can't find your server in the browser you might still have the port forwarding/firewall rules not set correctly.

Anyone know why arma 3 lags in a very specific way? I have 70 fps, but the game seems to freeze every 2 seconds. It's like a stuttering, but with a lot of time in between. It happens in the menu, editor, while playing etc.

#

Usually happens when I just started the game, and stops after like 15 minutes

steady hawk
#

You have the game in HDD or SSD?

turbid dune
#

HDD

steady hawk
#

That's one way to cause such

uncut trellis
#

lot of micro loading

golden nova
#

many installed mods (not necessarily loaded, just downloaded), scenarios and compositions can cause that too

bronze river
turbid dune
#

but it happens with modded too

golden nova
#

that's what I mean

#

you don't have to start your game with mods, having them downloaded is just enough to cause that

#

after I reach a certain "treshold" of subscribed Steam stuff, around 400-500 items, I start getting these stutters, first few times they happen only on mission start and are pretty short but with time it gets worse.

#

So I unsubscribe everything and reinstall Arma every few months and after that process it starts behaving as it should

hey guys, i got a weird problem that i can't figure out how to fix, if anyone wants to help me PLEASE

Been playing Antistasi Community and eventually the map breaks my elevation indication. The marker that indicates elevation gets "stuck" on the map and won't update or follow my cursor. Feels like it's attached to some scripting event, like fast traveling... It's just really annoying to deal with.

#

Anyone have any idea what might be causing this and how to fix it?

#

been googling this issue but either i'm not using the right combination of words or nobody else is having this issue

#

and i refuse to believe the latter

uncut trellis
#

some vehicle?

vapid gazelle
#

No, when you move the cursor on the map screen, it shows the elevation of where the cursor is

#

like the little crosshair gets stuck and doesn't move, so i can't easily see the elevation of a certain point

uncut trellis
#

can you take a screenshot?

vapid gazelle
#

yeah gimme a sec

#

started validating cause i realized i hadn't tried it

#

the map cursor that shows grid and elevation in the middle

uncut trellis
#

right yeah

vapid gazelle
#

it will get stuck

#

and not follow my cursor anymore

uncut trellis

never heard it getting stuck so my guess is, it has something to do with the mission

#

Oh, that might be related to some map issues we had with ACE. After remote controlling a unit, some stuff sticks.

#

It's just selectPlayer and back again at our end.

vapid gazelle
#

that did it

umbral narwhal
#

Well, restarting would fix it temporarily if it's that.

vapid gazelle
#

ends up like this, with the grid and elevation stuck

#

yeah but restarting antistasi every time a little bug comes up gets very tedious lol

umbral narwhal
#

I never actually noticed that control :P

vapid gazelle
#

so i've been working around it, actually reading the lines on the elevation lmao

#

been a long annoying process every time i'm trying to identify a potential observation area

umbral narwhal
#

hmm, seems to be related to high command as well.

#

Minimum replication I found so far is to buy a high command squad and then remote control a unit. Doesn't matter what you remote control or whether you were in high command mode when you remote controlled.

vapid gazelle
#

doesn't seem to matter if it's HC - just tried it on a personal recruit

still does the same thing

altho, u are probably right since this has happened before without taking control of AI

I cannot get Arma 3 to go onto the right monitor. I have a monitor to my left that is listed as my primary monitor where I open apps. I have a monitor in front of me where I usually play my games (this monitor is listed as my second monitor not my primary one). I usually open apps and games from the monitor to my left (the one listed as primary in windows display settings) then hit shift, windows key, and arrow key which moves the game to my secondary monitor (the one in front of me). This does not work for arma 3, shift windows arrow doesn't move it. I am looking desperately for a fix I have tried going into the cgf file and changing the forceadapterid to 0 which didn't work so I tried switching it to 1 then it gave me an error that says Direct3D 11 graphical engine. I have also tried simple fixes like putting it in windowed borderless then doing shift winkey arrowkey but nothing worked. If there is any other fix someone knows about I need to know.

Arma 3 will open only on your main/default screen, no workarounds. If you want it on your left, change left display to the main one in windows settings (or whatever OS you're using)

does subscribing to mission that uses some mods install those mods when I subscribe to it, because i dont see those required mods in my launcher?

stiff plinth

#

I had a ton of mods loaded, so I hit the launcher option for unsubscribe to all, I resubscribed to some of my mods and when I went into the game, all of my settings were reset and some of my mods broken. Anyone know why?

uncut trellis
#

try repairing the mods in the launcher and try to verify your game files

My buddy's getting the 0xC0000005 STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION popup on startup. He bought the game a couple days ago, downloaded the game, downloaded my modpack, and he can't open the game. He has all settings normal, game crashes after battleye starts. Any ideas for what to do?

#

He's already put -malloc=system into his steam config

#

Not loading any mods also doesn't work.

uncut trellis
#

something there might work in this case

#

though unfortunately 00000005 is very generic error and does not really give much to go on'

unkempt gyro
#

Yeah he just got it going after launching arma from his files

#

gonna have him make a shortcut

#

thanks!

unkempt gyro
#

Now he's having an issue with "missing" a file but he has it

#

He doesn't own contact, steam file integrity verification is coming back fine

#

If he does have both two EBO files, delete and verify again

Hey guys i just bought arma 3 and ran into this weird issue

#

I have heavy fps drop every 2 seconds or less to 2-3fps
Checking afterburner neither cpu or fpu is hitting 20-30%
I freeze at menu ingame and everywhere else that isnt pause menu when i load
Setting everything to low doesnt help either
I got game on ssd
I5 6400
16 gig ram(when i load game it barely gets up to 7 gig for some reason)
Rx 550(checked videos it should run)
And some cheapo ssd that is better than hdd

#

Im trying to fix it but dont want to hit that 2hr limit so i can refund it if i cant fix the issue its very annoying

#

I gotta go to school rn but when i come back i will check answers here

#

Thanks

steady hawk
#

Does the FPS hit ~3 every once in a few seconds? Or permanently?

austere turret
#

Once a few seconds
When i load inside game i think its perma

#

I pause the game and everything is smooth

steady hawk
#

Any Mods loaded?

austere turret
#

No
I think i got like 5 mods subbed but none of them loaded

steady hawk
#

How you test your 3 FPS? In what kind of mission? SP/MP?

austere turret
#

In sp and im main menu screen
In video settings menu too

#

Havent checked mp yet

steady hawk
#

Have you tried autodetect for the video settings?

austere turret
#

I tried settjng everything to lowest
It autodetected to high for some reason but nothing changed

steady hawk
#

Low is apparently worse than higher ones BTW

austere turret
#

Oh i might try that when i get home

#

I want to commit crimes against society so much 😭

I’ve been trying to get the “follow” waypoint to work to no avail. I set a vehicle to follow on that has a set path, but the one set to follow just doesn’t move. Does anyone have a fix for this?

austere turret
#

It fixed itself

#

Thanks my god its so cool

steady hawk
#

The Mods in Arma 3 never does anything with the game if you don't load them, guess you loaded them all somehow

austere turret
#

It wasnt loaded

#

I got smooth 60 on standards setting rn

#

steady hawk
#

It is impossible to do anything if aren't loaded

Guess magic fixed it then

Thing is i am not refunding it anymore

hello, any help? I don't remember (if I do have) a mod called project pathfinder, and I can't see it in mod search. any help please? Thanks

#

closing the window gives me the 0x00000 dead message, if that helps at all. Thanks

steady hawk
#

You need to get rid of faulty Mod

glass saddle
#

so fortunately I have encountered the 'go to !workshop and search bin or dta to solve your issue' situation before so I have done the same this time, however @steady hawk Polpox, there is no bin.pbo file? Any suggestions please? Thanks in advance

uncut trellis
#

you wont find anything there

#

turn off half your mods and test

glass saddle
#

i see, thank you, I will do the file tegridy farms check first and see if that resolves

uncut trellis
#

then do that again until you find the broken mod

glass saddle
#

that's fair, I am hoping it's a more modern subscribed mod, so I will load a couple of preloads and test it then*, thanks goat, you're the 🐐

just restarted my computer and the error disappeared and all is good???

Anyone ever seen this before when they try to open arma? i have alot of game time and this one is new. If i restart my comp arma will be fine until i alt tab and then when i go back to it i get this again ty in advance as well

could be your gpu going broke

#

maybe try restarting PC and check monitor cable connection

Hey guys, I've downloaded some scenarios from the workshop and can save and load up as I'm in game. But when I end mission and exit the game , the following morning its wiped. ….and I have to start all over. Is there any remedy for this?

This happened to me in the campaign and was probably due to, you guessed it, OD

If you get a Problem Saving Profile Data error, then more likely so

not sure if this is the correct channel or scripting is: my mod Zeus Deck Boss stopped working reliably, though I cannot say since when (rarely using it). It allows players to place Zeus generated objects on some ships, like Nimitz, Freedom, Liberty, ... At the core of it is a call to check if the curatorCamera intersects with the surface via: sqf lineIntersectsSurfaces [ getPosASL curatorCamera, getPosASL _entity, curatorCamera, _entity ]; _entity is the object being placed. However, this seems to return no objects at quite a few times and I wonder why? I compared with lineIntersectsObjs [ getPosASL curatorCamera, getPosASL _entity, curatorCamera, _entity ]; and there I get the carrier objects reliably

chrome current
#

Try AGLToASL screenToWorld getMousePosition ? Zen placement preview has similar function with it.

jaunty cedar
#

hmm, but the position reported by getPosASL for curatorCamera and _entity seem valid, e.g. the curatorCamera is some 30-40 meter above sea, the _entity is placed on the terrain of the sea bottom

#

but I'll give it a try, thanks

jaunty cedar
#

if anyone is interested in this, here the updated code: sqf // private _objects = lineIntersectsSurfaces [ getPosASL curatorCamera, getPosASL _entity, curatorCamera, _entity ]; // Suggestion by ampersand, as the above code stopped working private _objects = lineIntersectsSurfaces [ getPosASL curatorCamera, AGLToASL screenToWorld getMousePosition, curatorCamera, _entity ];

chrome current
#

Hmm I wonder if the sea floor obj position is before terrain? That's the only thing on wiki that seems likely.

jaunty cedar
#

like the ATL of the _entity is negative?

#

hmm, seems to be almost 0, but still positive

I've been trying to solve this issue for a couple of days but I still can't solve it. I've turned on Ace Advance Fatigue in editor then did a few other settings and once i export it into a PBO other settings got activated except ACE Fatigue. Anyone know how to resolve the issue?

Having trouble with finding servers. My friends can join me and locate my server through friends-tab, but for me the friends-tab is empty and internet-tab shows only a handful of servers, like few dozen, when my friends see hundreds. Any tips? Already verified the integrity of the files and checked firewall settings, all A3 traffic is allowed.

Might be your router can't handle the spam requests.

There isn't necessarily a workaround. Stick everything in favourites and maybe it works more reliably.

# keen trench But he is hosting, it is still bad?

If the other person is hosting, then he/she needs to post the details of his situation. We can't help by guessing things. Asking magic balls doesn't work. Don't know what GFN is, but if both of you are using it to play Arma 3 then you do need to ask them to figure this out.

pine kite
#

Yeah, you are at the mercy of whatever Nvidia locks down on their virtual desktops network settings.

keen trench

I asked others that used GFN and they confirm they were not able to local host a server from within the game.

#

Not available to watch streams. Just explain how you did it. Then maybe a error may be identified.

#

Also, others may chip in too if they can read it. More chances of a sooner answer.

umbral narwhal
#

Try UPNP. Try UPNP with a different port number. If neither of those work then you're out of options. You have no power over GFN network settings.

I'm trying to play contact, but the electronic deception just stopped working and I can't progress. I got caught once and reverted my save, now nothing is happening when I transmit interference, no reaction from squads.

I'm pointing the antenna right at a dude wearing a radio pack from 50m away, no obstructions.

Doing exactly what the game told me to do.

#

||Can't even go for plan B, because the truck is locked|| I'm on the second mission BTW.

#

||You mean the part you need to park the truck?||

I'm guessing that the mission scripting somehow broke when I reverted my save, because I wanted to do it the 'right' way without plan B, but not even plan B works now.

#

Going Dark right? Let me check

Yeah, going dark

Going to bed now, will troubleshoot more tomorrow.

Okay I think I got what part you're stuck. But not sure why/how

@pine kite he left, probably thought it were "free versions" of the game, even though the names clearly say "server" 🤷‍♂️

Fuck it, I'm just not playing contact. I sent interference over the net and they immediately set radio silence. I then blew up their truck as a distraction and they just looked around in circles and didn't move off the site.

I guess the Livonia map itself might be worth $8, otherwise I would refund it.

Unless I can use a console command or something to manually trigger the mission to move forwards.

ive been getting an access violation when i attempt to do basic things. Ive been looking for solutions and I havent found any that worked yet

STATUS ACCESS VIOLATION is just a generic error, it tells us literaly nothing. And "basic things" you mean also tells us nothing

grim basalt
#

Lmao

#

I’m tired

#

I’ve been troubleshooting around, and I know it’s not a memory issue. It happened in an op earlier today, and happens when I try to operate any vehicle.

#

I tried to mess with DLL but I couldn’t figure it out

#

I can post anything needed, specs or the error log

steady hawk
#

Okay here we go:

  1. SP/MP?
  2. Mods?
  3. USB Headsets?
    Start with very basic things
grim basalt
#

Happens with and without mods

#

I’m sorry that this is tedious

steady hawk
#

Patience is the key to troubleshoot

grim basalt
#

Right

#

Don’t have usb headphones

#

I turned off all overlays

steady hawk
#

Like Steam and/or Nvidia ones?

grim basalt
#

Yup

#

MSI as well

steady hawk
#

Okay, what exactly is the situation? What is the mission? How you try to operate a vehicle?

#

Also, have you tried to verify the game?

grim basalt
#

First thing I did

grim basalt
#

Both crash

steady hawk
#

Like, open the Editor, open a map, place a vehicle, and try, it goes boom?

grim basalt
#

Yup

#

The time it takes to crash varies

#

Sometimes it’s as soon as the hud pops up

#

Others I can take off then it crashes

#

Which made me think it was memory

#

But I’ve got 32 gigs of ram and it was at around 33% for the entirety of it

steady hawk
#

Well, actually it isn't that wrong for an Arma 3 memory usage

I’ll grab Em rq

#

I should clarify

#

This happened before

#

I went to bed after troubleshooting and woke up then tried again

#

And it fixed

steady hawk
#

🤔 Sounds like your computer sometimes doesn't like your game

grim basalt
#

That’s what I thought

#

So I restarted my computer

#

Jesus I just made a bad spelling error

#

But the restarts did nothing

#

I also updated my drivers

steady hawk
#

lmao I've just read the log

grim basalt
steady hawk
#

Nope, but our bot logs it

grim basalt
#

Ah

#

Lemme grab those files, gotta boot my puter

steady hawk
#

No rush

grim basalt
#

Back when I first played Arma, I had an issue where it would hide my user profiles and give me errors. I’ve switched systems since then but I wonder if this might have anything to do with it

#

the rpt file is too large for the site that the bot reccomended

steady hawk
#

Then probably pastebin

grim basalt
#

alr

#

its still too big

#

Uff, how big it is?

Maybe you can try Google Drive

#

yeah, sorry

#

was i not supposed to?

#

Better to narrow down the cause

why is TIOW missing a head if its not loaded

#

Because your profile set it so, maybe?

grim basalt
grim basalt
#

bluetooth headset connected with a hub that conntects it to the computer

#

so i was wrong earlier

steady hawk
#

A hub, like an USB connected one?

grim basalt
#

i do use usb headphones

#

i always forget its not wireless

steady hawk
#

Yea probably you do. Please try 3.5mm one first

grim basalt
#

cant, doesnt connect like that

steady hawk
#

I mean directly to your computer... or?

grim basalt
#

to my computer

#

I dont have the cable

steady hawk
#

Hmm. Then probably try the pinned solution

grim basalt
#

but ive been using these since before these crashes happened

#

if it was sound itd make sense, it only happens when a vehicle sound file plays

steady hawk
#

But actually USB Headset issue can cause anything really

grim basalt
#

ah

steady hawk
#

Which is... AFAIK is a Windows' related issue, but whatever

grim basalt
#

okay

#

i found a different solution

#

and its the way the headphones work

steady hawk
#

Do tell, I'm kinda interested

grim basalt
#

so the hub has a chatmix slider

#

and to achieve this, the headphones have two outputs

#

arctis pro wireless chat and game

#

one is a headphone

#

the other are earphones

#

thats how windows identifies them

#

my default was on chat

#

which caused my game to crash

#

i switched it to game and everything works now

steady hawk
#

Hmm, good to know I think

grim basalt
#

Yeah, maybe the game crashes with headset earphones

#

idk

#

thank you again for your time, it means a lot

#

#

youd make good IT ngl

really?

so it starts trying to download stuff when you start the game? Not before?

#

have you tried unsubscribing scenarios or compositions you are subscribed to? I guess this is the only stuff that can be accessed dynamically without having to restart the game so perhaps one thing you downloaded is faulty in some way

sleek sandal
#

yes but it doesn't actually download anything. It just keeps starting and stopping the download process without actually doing anything for about 1 or 2 minutes

#

Im going to unsub to compositions and see if it helps

#

@golden nova yup, unsubbing to the compositions fixed the problem. I had quite a lot of them so i don't know which one was causing the issues. Thx for the help!

there is a way to start arma on geforce now with the mods? can't find a way to run the damn .dll mods on it

golden nova
#

no

lone pine
#

so sad, 99% of servers run those mods 🫡

#

can't understand why nvidia don't let run this damn mods like all the others

bronze river
#

Because it's installed on their own devices as vanilla

steady hawk
#

It is very easy to assume and understand that it is VERY hard to personalize the game as you want if the game is stored into the big server

lone pine
#

you can install all the mods you want that are not .dll tho, so you can customise the game till you not modify the root of something in it

#

however don't understand why they let run most of the mods and the most important ones not like the ace

golden nova
#

because most of the mods don't use dll files and ace does

#

dlls are for injecting stuff, Nvidia doesn't want people to inject stuff to machines you don't own, imo pretty understandable

lone pine
#

it is totally understandable, don't understand why get a game that is running mods tho 😅 player base on vanilla is less than 100 per day on steam charts

#

the most unuseful game in the entire library for sure

Vanilla servers are actually populated enough in official ones

But hey, let's say, if it is proven by BattlEye, maybe they should let you to use them

I picked up a new flight stick on a whim, the Turtlebeach Velocity One. Had a lot of features that appealed to me, and I think it will make a killer Arma stick... the only problem is one of the key draws isnt working as expected.

See, it has a mousewheel built in. Awesome, right? You can have full normalized addAction menu interaction without reaching for the mouse!

Problem: the mousewheel is interpreted as an analog input, -100 to +100, one click at a time, so Arma will only register an input at ~50 clicks and even then, will scroll all the way that direction.

Im going to be poking around in other possible routes, but is there any way I can get Arma to interpret the input as a digital input like I was expecting, or is that going to depend entirely on the flight stick's software/firmware/etc?

Moment later edit: may have found an in-built solution but itll be a while until I can test it, so Im leaving the question up in case it can spark some interesting knowledge

Edit much later: Resolved. the Velocity One has a built in selector for analog or digital input from the wheel. It's a little slower than a mousewheel for spinning but serviceable. This stick is actually really nice.

Ask Nitrado how to find or edit that file. You pay them. Let them tell you how to use their facilities.

You'd have had to edit server.cfg to get anywhere though :P

it's just battleye=0 in there.

battleye dont show

If there's no battleye=1 in there already then you can add battleye=0;. However if you're wrong, it'll probably break. server.cfg does not like duplicated vars.

new card, new drivers, maybe incompatibilities with old things and so on.

have you tried googling the issue?

umbral narwhal
#

Arma might have just autodetected to higher graphics settings.

#

DX11 e_outofmemory probably relates to system rather than GPU memory for Arma. I don't think Arma locks much to the GPU.

I know what the settings are. The only thing I can't understand in the error log is the paging file 7.4gb.

I don't think the DX11 allocation calls use the Arma allocator.

actually nm that was an old report file.

although it still makes no sense

# umbral narwhal below the allocator line.

That line: PhysMem: 16 GiB, VirtMem : 131072 GiB, AvailPhys : 10 GiB, AvailVirt : 131068 GiB, AvailPage : 8.3 GiB, PageSize : 4.0 KiB/2.0 MiB/HasLockMemory
That was from the old crash with the old card.

umbral narwhal
#

you disable the page file with 16GB of RAM?

that's kinda pushing it these days :P

#

I used to run without a page file but Arma + browser is pretty marginal then.

Page file's handy for putting stuff that's allocated but not actually used.

Hello, I reinstalled ARMA and unsubbed from all the mods but when I launch the game with no mods loaded in the launcher it keeps loading mods in game. Is there a fix for this? I tried disabling them in the expansions but disable button is greyed out

long kiln
umbral narwhal
#

Might just be how DX11 works on win11. Managed GPU textures are backed by allocated system memory, but it's not actually written until something else needs the GPU memory.

uncut trellis
#

and do you have launchparameter command line filled with mods?

bold cobalt
#

No, the mods that are loaded were from the workshop iirc

uncut trellis
#

you have never downloaded mods from other than workshop sources?

#

like googledrive etc

#

check the launcher settings for custom startup parameters

umbral narwhal
#

"Mods", "Parameter File" and "Command Line" are all possible.

long kiln
uncut trellis
#

easy to test by enabling pagefile back on

#

it is never really recommended to turn it off anyway

bold cobalt
#

Yeah i saw the command line and it listed all the mods, Ill launch the game again to test. Thanks

umbral narwhal
#

A 4GB spike is entirely possible if it decides that it needs to flush the GPU memory for some reason.

#

At least if you're running high texture settings.

uncut trellis
#

how do the startup commandlines get filled with stuff without people knowing

umbral narwhal
#

Honestly not sure. Comes up occasionally.

long kiln
#

so the spike would need to be ~10gb.

uncut trellis
#

just enable it back, put some reasonable big value so you wont run out and test it

#

if it works without crashing anymore, then problem solved

#

if it still crashes, its something else that might be possible to figure out

If the conclusion is that win11's memory accounting practices are bullshit, then this would not be wholly surprising.

Hi i bought a dedicated server and its messed up in more ways than 1... ik ik i should have gone the vps route but needed to just get something in place... firstly i tried in game and configs to get admin neither worked secondly whenever i load into my operations map it keeps turning to an out dated version file i havent needed for almost a month. I needed the admin in order to properly set up the server settings that config refused to set up and needed the up to date files cuz their the most recent yet cant seem to fix any of the 3 issues

umbral narwhal

Admin access is just:

  1. passwordAdmin = "xyzxyz"; in the server config file. Some special characters should be avoided but I forget which.
  2. (re)Start the server and connect to it.
  3. Press / or whatever your text chat keybind is. Type #login xyzxyz

I need a radio style voice mod that has the "beep" when the transmission ends

Hi there, I am considering getting Voice mod pro, but before I do - I need a radio style voice mod that has the "beep" when the transmission ends (when I stop transmitting and release the push to talk button) that all players will hear. This is in the style of something like Task Force Radio for Arma 3 (which we tried and couldn't get it to work so we are looking at other options). Is it possible? Cheers.

steady hawk
#

What kind of transmission you mean? Vanilla VOIP?

narrow ingot

So with a voice mod - we can get it so we sound like we are on radios, but need something like a burst of static or a beep when PTT is released. Maybe its just not possible.

steady hawk

So you want the beep before and after someone press the PTT in Discord VC?

steady hawk
#

Pretty much. You probably can try to hire (either paid/unpaid, since the project won't involve Arma 3 EULA,) someone in #creators_recruiting

I'm not good at what's inside of Discord, so I by myself can't say actually

narrow ingot

But where the other lads will hear the beep too when I end trans.

Could it be because I downloaded someones loadout and controls?

golden nova

why would you do that if you're brand new to the game?

pallid swan
#

Cause it was said to be a massive time saver. I figured I can always tweak it later

golden nova
#

idk what do you mean "someone's loadout" since every mission has custom loadouts, there's no general character loadout like you would have in Insurgency or other shooters. Custom controls means you have messed with profile files so yeah this could be an issue too - even if not directly causing that access violation error, you may experience issues later on

#

USB headsets tend to crash A3 since Windows did something to its audio drivers some time ago and haven't fixed that yet. If you don't crash with headphones disconnected you can try using a guide from pinned messages here to make them work properly

uncut trellis
#

yes they can. (but also I tried to hint to put general question to the questions channel)

#

hosting requires yo to open up ports in your router most likely

#

!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”

opaque rose
#

I have port forwarded to 2302-2303

#

Is the 2306 limit a new thing?

#

Our severs together used to work

uncut trellis
#

could need to do the portforward again

#

maybe your computer has different address in your local network now. it can change sometimes

#

or maybe something happened with your internet connection

opaque rose
#

I have the ports opened on a specific IP, which I switch to when I want to play arma

#

I have my ports set to TCP/UDP
