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 ? :/
@vagrant mason See if he has a ban.txt file in the Arma program folder.
Whats the file Path?
Depends where the steam library is.
just in the common file
Default would be something like c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\
Yes but for Ban.txt
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
You're fucked then.
that's helpful
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.
turn off battle eye? if your not using it already then I have no idea
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.
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
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.
I have done it :l
should I reinstall?
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.
thank you, I'll try now
It does force it to download 15 GB though. But better be thorough about it.
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.
Show a screenshot 
I don't have screenshots its just the terrain flickering, trees rapidly flickering and frames will drop to 2-3
Sounds like a mod issue 
yeah thats my guess.
Which terrain ?
happens most on maps with Apex assets but will do it on any, even Altis
When i think about it, it sounds like the "3 FPS bug"
Which should be fixed as far as i know 
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
If game crashes, make crash ticket on feedback tracker and upload crash report
Yes that is what I thought, but another player in the unit is a using modified fov (110) and have no issues with those things, he has a uw monitor though so his values do not work for my resolution.
Thks for your answer
I already do that x) (with ly MDMP) and i try to reply on a old post on the feedBack tracker
Devs (me) don't look at old posts, but we see new posts
Ah
Sorry
I will do it today
Ah yeah, see I didn't see that reply. I'll take a quick look
Also feedback tracker lets you upload files (pack mdmp in a zip, its much smaller)
I apparently need to register on that website where you uploaded that mdmp, I'm not gonna do that.
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?
Yes
Ok, i will pack you the mdmp
You want also that i create new ticket ?
no need now that I know where it is
Thanks
i upload this on *.rar file
Tell me if you want another file
thanks you ^^ 💪
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
Workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2911278094
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).
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)
The pbo's don't have multiple bisigns per pbo?
One bisign per pbo
You have other pbo's, signed with same key, that work?
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
Start doubting the mods that you use. Don't load them and see if it returns.
But my best guess would be PBOManager
That's the tool I had in mind when I was thinking about not conforming to standards
maybe unpack the pbo, and repack it with A3 Tools or Mikeros tools or HEMTT is also correct (just checked)
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? 
yes
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.
CfgConvert task failed. Will take a look at it and solve it on authors side once he get's back to his PC. Thanks for the info!
Ok thanks
It's on custom map, do you thinks that a link about this ?
i will create a new FeedBack with the entire log
hey my friend i trying to set up a respawn he has made one i can respawn but he cant and its saying respawn diabled for him
I don't know. But might be helpfull to notice any error if you explain/show how you set it up.
sorry for crap quality
win shift s isnt working
idk why but he cant spawn and i can
screenshot resolution isn't all the best.
he is same team as me
ik
this si from his screen share
You'll have to wait for others to respond to this.
took me 10 mins to notice this channel isnt for people with very bad Aim
So
I've unsubbed from 20 gigs worth of mods for arma
Then my pc decides that my storage is gonna go down by 14.6 gigs.
Is that normal?
this is via steam
now unsubbed from EVERY arma mod
get zero gigs back
Can someone help me out, everytime I host a server and my friends try to join they never make it past the loading screen before crashing and I dont know why. The server does have mods, 65 of them and it was made from Eden editor. Is it anything that I am dooing or?
How do I get this storage back?
Why not try to start a server without mods at all. Then test if your friend can join it.
Delete the folders where these mods actually reside: Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\107410
Well because when my other friend hosts a server we can join just fine, its just MY server
Done, restarted computer and still don't have a single mb back:
defragmented the drive?
Your server, your setup, your connection. Test it by starting with minimum complexity. If you don't know what is wrong, increase complexity slowly.
wdym?
Everything steam related is on my C drive
windows key -> defrag -> enter -> optimise the drive
What does Defrag do?
How do you expect me to tell you where they are?
I have deleted those folders and files is what I am saying, permanently.
If you deleted stuff, the files are probably in the recycle bin anyway.
by perm deletion I mean I've cleared the bin
Use some treesize program to find where your GBs are lingering on those drives.
I'll look up treesize, thank you.
going through a problem every time i play
i get varied amounts of playtime
i get up to ~80fps when playing normally
but after 5 min, or 20 min, or an hour, it just inexplicably crashes and gives me the E_OUTOFMEMORY error
i've tried switching from x32 to x64
i've watched the VRAM usage while i play, nothing that indicates memory leaks
tried reinstalling the game
i have a log i will post here
I need some help with my code thats driving me insane
getting this fault from server console

Pastebin your whole server.cfg
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
Looks ok. Maybe that's not the one the server's using.
it might be something with the commandline
requiredSecureId isn't a parameter in Arma 3 although I'd be surprised if it cared that much.
changed to 0 and fuck all happened
Remove it?
nope
oh wait, you have motd[] = commented out but you left the rest of it.
So it's just running into an unexplained bracket and dying.
so cut out the []?
Either comment out everything from line 20 to 25 or none of it.
youre fucking me
yeah worked
15:16:47 InitSound ...
15:16:47 InitSound - complete
15:16:47 PhysX3 SDK Init started ...
15:16:47 PhysX3 SDK Init ended.
sitting on this now but I imagine itll just be a waiting thing
ahhh
if I were to just guess
the server isnt mounting the mods right
probably windows update, do a disk cleanup on C and remove previous windows update data
Read the last line in the screenshot. Either you play with additional mods in the client that the server doesn't have loaded. Or you forgot to put the keys for those mods in the server key folder.
nah I fixed it we ballin
Arma buildings randomly starts rending white unless you are practically next to the building. Happens for all clients and a #restart of the mission file or server restart usually fixes the issue.
ACE3 view distance limiter is enabled and settings are individual client defined. Personally for me it does not matter if my draw distance is on 1000 or 12000, same thing happens - same with FOV settings. Anyone by chance have idea of what it could be?
probably one of your mods is broken
Thanks, gonna repair server mods and check
why wont dumb planes seek and destroy when i beg them to?
Disable onedrive.
anyone know how to remove the grenade overlay, it's a bunch of red balls that show the arc of your grenades
my pc's being a dick and not taking screenshots
it's not a vanilla feature
@heavy jetty did you go through the suggested steps in the wikipage I linked earlier?
send it cuz i have been on one but idk if its the same one
I have the “optics mode” for the plane TGP mapped to one of my HOTAS buttons but it doesn’t work (only L-control + right mouse button works)
Any ideas on how to fix it?
It used to work but my controllers got reset trying to do something
Nvmd I figured it out
I keep having an issue where I loose connection or it's the package loss and the game kicks me out of a server. My internet is fast and connection is stable. I don't have any similar issues with other games, but this thing is consistent and keeps happening once in a couple of hours. Does anyone know what's the issue and how to resolve it?
Which server you're on?
It's a private server for a small discord community
Try official if you wonder it is your issue or server issue
Will do
Needing some help with a dedi server running from a second machine. If I try and launch it without running steam, I get a steamAPI auth initialisation error. But if I run the server with steam, I cant start arma on my gaming PC
Arma crashes whenever I tab out and let it sit for like 10 seconds is there anything I can do to stop this?
Play in borderless window
And you can enable noPause parameter in launcher parameters
my arma is saying ace xm157.pbo is outdated and i can't play in eden editor at all
Turn off outdated mods or update them where possible
You're missing mods or the scenario is outdated
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.
i think its outdated
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
You have the game in HDD or SSD?
HDD
That's one way to cause such
lot of micro loading
many installed mods (not necessarily loaded, just downloaded), scenarios and compositions can cause that too
turn off FXAA, it may helps ur stuttering
I am in vanilla
but it happens with modded too
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
This only seems to happen when there are a bunch of people playing with me. When I'm by myself it's ok
ErrorMessage: Data file too short 'mpmissions\MSN_Juss_The%20Sahrani%20Conflict.sara.pbo'. Expected 18882742 B, got 6291456 B
any idea what could be causing this?
Well, it's not lying.
Depends how the mission file got where it is. Bad FTP, bad download...
If using FTP, make sure you force binary transfers.
dont know why or if someone can help me and i know it not a problem with my mouse bc it happens when my mouse is unplugged
like it lets me look around in free look
Double alt should remove free look
but it like moves without me touching it and whenever i aim my gun is in the bottom corner
like free look is fine
whenever i aim in it does that
do you have anything else plugged into your PC? headtracker, joystick
nope
if you have numpad on keyboard you can rotate your head with it so maybe on of your buttons there is broken
also just to be sure load your game with no mods and see eif that happens in vanilla game
i think it was the num pad on my keyboard bc i unbinded the rotation and its fixed now
i think i must have broke one of the buttons bc when i was unbinding it ctrl 9 keeped getting put on there so i think it just kept pressing it over and over
yeah my 9 button is messed up
the games stops responding when I open it
try without mods
it worked without mods
then it sounds like you have some mod that is broken or did not download right
how can I fix it if something isnt downloaded right?
what is going on?
what
what
move the window higher lol
you can see rest of it is hidden behind your task bar
Or unsubscribe, which should remove the mod. Then resubscribe and give it plenty of time to download.
you started the minigame
press space to shoot A D to move
maybe your mission dont have more slots than that.
absolutely no idea
yea i know
its good to know the difference
but yeah sounds like it is indeed SP mission
maps are stratis and other but missions are scenarios
also where are workshop subbed mission?
missions*
they should be in the mission lists for each terrain
when subscribed to they will load automatically
but only show up if you have correct terrain loaded
whenever loading a large map in eden editor I get a good ol' "Rendering command buffer is too small" followed swiftly by a 0x000 DEAD unusual process exit
you may be running out of memory
map too large 😄
after a quick test, can confirm this probably isn't the problem. I should be noted that before I WAS able to load these maps, it's just now they have suddenly decided to.. yknow.. rendering command buffer is too small
I've also crossed it out as a mod issue (unless somehow it's cba_a3) since even with basically just a map mod and cba_a3 it still crashes (which is so awesome I love troubleshooting)
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
elevation indicator in where?
some vehicle?
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
can you take a screenshot?
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
right yeah
never heard it getting stuck so my guess is, it has something to do with the mission
@quaint jewel might you have any idea how to start debug such a thing? Could mission be issue with this
thank you for trying to help
Dedmen might have ideas but may need to wait till morning when hes back at the office
trying to replicate the problem now but i'm praying just validating my files fixed it lmao. i will check back later. thanks again
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.
that did it
Well, restarting would fix it temporarily if it's that.
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
I never actually noticed that control :P
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
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.
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'm not running ACE if it helps
AH it does the same thing when i respawn
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)
before I WAS able to load these maps
when were you able to load the map?
My mic isnt working on arma in works on everything else including other PC applications, reset computer already it’s been like this a week or so any fixes. Also my mic volume in game is set to full
- Are you sure you're talking in the right channel?
- Are you sure you're not muted?
- USB Headset?
I don't work on Sunday mornings
My arma3.cfg just reset itself and now my game is locked at 60fps even with V-sync off 
Be glad!
It's really weird though. When the game is focused and foreground, locked 60fps, but when I alt-tab or otherwise unfocus the window, FPS cap is gone. Seems like a G-sync bug, but it only happens in Arma and only now that my config got reset
borderless window at least does that.
I was able to load these maps (Last that I remember) August of 2022.
I wonder if that's before the thermal imaging change?
guys, how do I add mods to Arma 3 FASTER server, I add it to server dir and when I save profile in FASTER it says that mod was not found?
Here is Video Tutorial for Faster from start to finish and how to setup mods. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsdBbUtDPkY
My friend and i cant join eatchother please help us.
you probably dont know how to port forward
just search on the web
for your router specificaly
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?
No I don't think it does
i alr did that it didnt work
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?
these are the stuff that somehow caused your issues
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.
if he got usb headset, can try unplugging that. (more info in pinned messages)
then there are some common resons for 000005 error listed here https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_process_exit
something there might work in this case
though unfortunately 00000005 is very generic error and does not really give much to go on'
Yeah he just got it going after launching arma from his files
gonna have him make a shortcut
thanks!
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
Does the FPS hit ~3 every once in a few seconds? Or permanently?
Once a few seconds
When i load inside game i think its perma
I pause the game and everything is smooth
Any Mods loaded?
No
I think i got like 5 mods subbed but none of them loaded
How you test your 3 FPS? In what kind of mission? SP/MP?
Have you tried autodetect for the video settings?
I tried settjng everything to lowest
It autodetected to high for some reason but nothing changed
Low is apparently worse than higher ones BTW
Oh i might try that when i get home
I want to commit crimes against society so much 😭
Try not to bring your self defense weapon to your classroom, man
It will be hard but i will try
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?
I delete 5 mods i had
It fixed itself
Thanks my god its so cool
The Mods in Arma 3 never does anything with the game if you don't load them, guess you loaded them all somehow
It is impossible to do anything if aren't loaded
There is no magic either
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
You need to get rid of faulty Mod
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
bin.pbo is one of the core files
you wont find anything there
turn off half your mods and test
i see, thank you, I will do the file tegridy farms check first and see if that resolves
then do that again until you find the broken mod
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
i edited 🙂
ALT TAB hangs game when its on fullscreen
if you want to alt tab you need to use borderlesswindow
can you force that in a parameter?
yes you can switch it in video settings
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?
perhaps your profile folder is in oneDrive and gets reset
Hm, ok I'll look into this. Thanks man.
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
Well i set the location to another HD and its still not saving... ive tried multiple things but no luck 😦
For me it was probably due to permissions error
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
Try AGLToASL screenToWorld getMousePosition ? Zen placement preview has similar function with it.
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
holy moly, it works again. I'm baffled. Maybe there's a bug when origin is above sea and target is below sea in this?
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 ];
Hmm I wonder if the sea floor obj position is before terrain? That's the only thing on wiki that seems likely.
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?
have you checked if server (settings) are not overriding mission settings?
hey guys, how do i remove the icon on the top left and the row of teammates on the bottom?
for what kind of purpose?
Hello guys, me and my friend are still unable to join eachother servers since they dont show up, we tried port fowarding but noting, a mont hhas passed and im about to run out of GEFORCE memebership, we would like to play before it runs out
Could somebody help us with different ways please?
geforce now does not play on your computer so no matter what you do locally will help with hosting since the game is not local to you
Was just looking to have a clean display when playing.
in SP you might be able to run hide UI scirping command
in MP i dont think you can mess with them
There are some mods for hiding ui. VileHUD is one such.
fantastic, ill look it up thanks guys
If anyone is getting the windows blue screen after some time playing, reinstall arma, idk why it works but it does

Looks like previous instance crashed an hour after I put Windows into sleep mode.
Wondering what might have changed, was fine for months
GPU driver update?
Didn't update them manually, don't see any GPU drivers update in Windows update history 🤔
Still on 517.48 from October
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.
Is there something wrong with this commandline?
"E:\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3 Server\arma3server_x64.exe" -profiles="E:\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3 Server\Users\Users" -port=2302 -servermod= -mod= "mods@ace;mods@CBA_A3;mods@Task Force Arrowhead Radio (BETA!!!);mods@RHSAFRF;mods@RHSGREF;mods@RHSUSAF;mods@DUI - Squad Radar;mods@ACE Compat - RHS AFRF;mods@ACE Compat - RHS- GREF;mods@ACE Compat - RHS USAF;mods@Project OPFOR;mods@Suppress;mods@Immerse;mods@Enhanced Movement" -config=server.cfg -cfg=basic.cfg -enableHT -autoinit
Server boots but says not mods?
Get the RPT and you'll find out.
Not sure if Discord is mangling your command line or you didn't have any slashes in the first place.
Probably. Command line is notorious for not working with mod folders that have spaces in the name
Suggest you rename the folders to remove spaces and try again. Wont affect clients connecting to the server
You know what it was? A bloody space after -mod= 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Thats why i just rename them so i dont need to worry about spaces 
No, you could still fall for this kind of mess-up.
So what should i do?
I dont know.
I am not really familiar with how it works. you probably need to ask GFN support
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.
geforce now
Yeah, you are at the mercy of whatever Nvidia locks down on their virtual desktops network settings.
@paper silo do it, and btw only i use geforce now
I asked others that used GFN and they confirm they were not able to local host a server from within the game.
You available tmmr? I can show u through stream I’m kidna unavailable rn
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.
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 downloaded arma off of steam, but it says launch and when i click launch this shows up, does anyone know how i can fix this issue?
ill try uninstalling it and reinstalling
used the wrong exe
how do i use the right exe
How did launch the game? via steam or a desktop icon?
i did through steam
but if i open through steam or desktop the same messege appears
And you're using arma 3
not arma 3 Server
I got armed reforge server and it took me to a website
This is the 2 things that I have but idk what to do next because when I open them both of them don’t take me to a game
Arma 3 Server is a free software. In order to play Arma 3 you need to purchase Arma 3 itself
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?||
||When you screw up and get told to steal the truck at site two to make a distraction because of radio silence. ||
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
Okay I think I got what part you're stuck. But not sure why/how
YOu just downloaded only the dedicated server of Arma 3. You can't play that. You need to buy the Arma 3 game.
@pine kite he left, probably thought it were "free versions" of the game, even though the names clearly say "server" 🤷♂️
I'm going to just restart the mission and see if that fixes it (plus start recording once I get to the part that broke)\
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.
Yeah, but I don't feel like checking everones profile if they are still here before I respond. If they ran away that is their loss.
Is there a better way to search units.arma3.com, I enter 75th and search, then all I get are 75, and cannot enter subsequent pages. I get errors about invalid data "75" and so forth.
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
I’m sorry
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
Okay here we go:
- SP/MP?
- Mods?
- USB Headsets?
Start with very basic things
Patience is the key to troubleshoot
Like Steam and/or Nvidia ones?
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?
Multiple times
First thing I did
I’ve tried it in Editor and servers
Both crash
Like, open the Editor, open a map, place a vehicle, and try, it goes boom?
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
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.
Do you have any of those and post it?
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
🤔 Sounds like your computer sometimes doesn't like your game
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
lmao I've just read the log
I was wondering if you could see it
Nope, but our bot logs it
No rush
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
Then probably pastebin
Uff, how big it is?
Are you sure you have the rpt, not the dump file?
Oh, you have Mods this time?
Better to narrow down the cause
well first lemme make sure its not the mods, the crash might have been a fluke
whats a vtol vehicle in vanilla arma, im not familiar with them
V-44 Blackfish or Y-34 Xi'an
Good, I mean not good, but still it narrows one
2:58:54 Error: Error during SetFace - class CfgFaces.Man_A3.TIOW_MarineHead_17 not found```Wonder this right before the crash does something, but really unlikely IMO, how does such missing class can cause a crash
odd
2:57:34 Selected Audio Output: Headset Earphone (2- Arctis Pro Wireless Chat) - Channels: 1, Freq: 48000Hm, is this a wireless headphone? How it does connected?
why is TIOW missing a head if its not loaded
Because your profile set it so, maybe?
youre right
its a uh
bluetooth headset connected with a hub that conntects it to the computer
so i was wrong earlier
A hub, like an USB connected one?
Yea probably you do. Please try 3.5mm one first
cant, doesnt connect like that
I mean directly to your computer... or?
Hmm. Then probably try the pinned solution
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
But actually USB Headset issue can cause anything really
ah
Which is... AFAIK is a Windows' related issue, but whatever
Do tell, I'm kinda interested
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
Hmm, good to know I think
Yeah, maybe the game crashes with headset earphones
idk
thank you again for your time, it means a lot
Anytime
youd make good IT ngl
Nope, I'm only good at Arma 3
I only know “how” I troubleshoot, not “what to do”, I gues
ah
Anyways if it does crash again, I'm here unless it is night here
got it
How do i fix my game from freezing my and not letting me do anything after i change a visual setting?
- Mods?
- USB Headset?
- Have you tried to verify the game?
!steamverify
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.
it still hasn't fix it but it has something to do with my graphics cuz i try to change my graphics and it just blanks on me
!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.

Can you post this?
i can't seem to open the config viewer. when i click alt+g or tools -> config viewer or select the item and select find in config viewer absolutely nothing happens. anyone knows why?
Unload Mods to try first
it opens without any mods loaded
maybe i can send you my modlist so you can tell which one may cause this?
Then you have one thar breaks Eden or something
Probably I can't tell
Maybe you can try to open Viewer via Debug Console
how would i do that?
Console have its button to open it
yeah uhh.. the console doesn't open either as it turns out
Some mods for some reason either disable it on purpose or are badly made and break it.
Check the pinned for the good way to determine which Mod does
Or uhh... get third party Viewer? Since official one is terrible to use
why would they disable it?
Usually they try to hide how they have made their mod I guess
Since we don't know which Mod does... we can't really say
can you recommend any? the mod that i think causes it is crucial to me
I use mine, in POLPOX's Base Functions
can you link it or is it prohibited to do so?
the mod, that causes it: armed forces of ukraine 2020 (CUP)
I can link but I'm on the phone right now and lazy
understandable. i'll find it myself
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1862880106
Really dated and I wanted to restore, but here it is @vapid moon
And if you have this Mod call PLP_fnc_configViewer should open the viewer
Oh yeah, just tried the Mod and it also disables Debug Console, Functions Viewer on Eden. That's nasty
top 10 ways to make people not want to use your crappy mod
number 1 stop them doing literally anything
I need some help. When i start Arma 3 it keep "resetting" downloads causing stutters for about 1 or 2 minutes after the start of the game. Happens with and without any mods loaded. Tried verifying files on steam but same thing still happens. Launcher options are default with skip logos at startup enabled and hyper threading enabled. I don't remember when it started happening, i just live with it but wanted to try and fix it. Here is a video that shows what happens
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
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!
i'm playing antistasi plus witha friend and my client side view distance is being overruled by the servers
where in the settings do we change that?
can someone help me with this ??
You got to explain the issue better. Because I just see you selecting an action menu. What is wrong with that?
my engine wont turn on when i try too
could be the mod you have is broken
could someone please get in a vc with me and help me the game isnt launching and the error sias " " is the problem
What exactly is the FULL error? When it says the error? Mods? USB Headset?
I have no mods and it sais "The code execution cannot preceede beceause was not found."
I just got this game
Common DLL issue. reinstall DirectX 11 and/or Visual C++ 2013 package
how do I do that?
Google leads
Describes an update that fixes issues in Visual C++ 2013. Includes descriptions of the issues that are fixed by the update.
Thanks John
BIS should really stop installing the old version that uninstalls itself :/
There isn't much we can do about it, we use Steam's common redistributables version of Visual C++ 2013 and have no direct influence over which version that is. We can only select the major version (the year of release) that Arma 3 requires.
Huh. Can you pass that on to steam?
I request some assistants I have a map for altis that I cant get to port into the game so I cant load it in the eden editor
Yes it's a mission
Sadly im away from pc for the next few hours I was hoping someone might have a video or something to help cause iv been losing my brain for the past 4 hours
you will need to explain more what exactly you try to do
So I was given a sqf file for a mp mission I shoved it in the mp missions folder but it never showed up
An sqf file isn't a mission.
if someone wants to share mission they made with you in editable form they need to zip the mission save folder so they can send that to you
What the?
someone who tried to share a mission with the dude is in Japan (on a trip? permanently? a mystery for another place) and does not have access to their computer and cant send the correct files which probably is not optimal
Not even sure the far east country is related to the topic
He is the only one with the files and he was just deployed to japan
Also,
- language
- an SQF file a script file not a mission file
Bruh moment is real guess ima have to go to the work shop and find me a map for bct
You could try making a mission and putting the mission.sqf, not sure if it will work, cause I've never done that, but ig it's worth a try
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
no
so sad, 99% of servers run those mods 🫡
can't understand why nvidia don't let run this damn mods like all the others
Because it's installed on their own devices as vanilla
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
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
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
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 think after 3 years Nividia if it was willed to do so would have already implemented a way to use them
I will try to install steam on parallels but I can't imagine even if it runs, how bad can be..
with a 4080 tier on vanilla servers in some spot I was running at 30fps
Which vanilla server?
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.
Eu patrol something, mission where we were close to the coast and it was going very poorly
Arma keeps crashing while playing KOTH, "Status Access Violation"
There is a list of common status access violations in the wiki (also is linked in pinned messages) you might find some ideas what to try from there
repair game files
Any workaround to run battleye on parallels macos?
got the game up and running with all the mods, now can't join any multiplayer server cause of battleye not working 😅 this game it's an endless pit of pain
No
You could run windows/Linux in a VM, but I'm pretty sure BE won't like you doing that
You will get kicked automatically when joining a server using virtual machine
yeah I know, I need to run battleye to join a server, games runs fine in single player or hosted server even with tons of mods but playing alone at arma it's just dumb 🤣
I wrote a ticket support to battleye to see if they can help me out
server config file editing!
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.
At least I think Nitrado just dumps the text editor on you.
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.
ok
every single time i try to play the prairie dog add on in multiplayer it a box & a file folder pops up sayin such n such was not found can this be fixed ?
prairie fire? :P
You need to load the CDLC (which requires you to buy it). You may need to load additional mods depending on the server.
If you have an error you should to post what is the error, also more situations required
i just installed new 6650 and within a few minutes got dx11 e_outofmemory...
@ 4.8/8gb
probably missing some of necessary older windows install parts
what parts? i'm on win 11.
dunno. Have not used win11 but Id suspect it does not install all the stuff older games might require on its own
how would that make this new card crash but not the old 960?
new card, new drivers, maybe incompatibilities with old things and so on.
have you tried googling the issue?
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.
1:36:55 Virtual memory total 131072 GiB (140737488224256 B)
1:36:55 Virtual memory free 131059 GiB (140724013903872 B)
1:36:55 Physical memory free 6.2 GiB (6657748992 B)
1:36:55 Page file free 64 KiB (65536 B)
1:36:55 Process working set 1.2 GiB (1309601792 B)
1:36:55 Process page file used 7.4 GiB (7936000000 B)
I'm not sure what Arma puts in those reports. I don't have a lot of crashes.
What's the line near the top of the RPT under allocator?
Nothing is out of memory. Paging file is disabled on my system.
allocator: GJK_Ampersand_Edition_Tbbmalloc_v202150_AVX512.dll
afaik battleye disables it anyway
below the allocator line.
I don't think the DX11 allocation calls use the Arma allocator.
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.
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.
I would rather have a crash and try to reduce usage than get potato speed from page file.
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
Since installing Win 11 I've had this continuous problem of arma 3 crashing even when it says there is lots of free memory.
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.
have you installed manual mods into arma3\addons folder?
and do you have launchparameter command line filled with mods?
No, the mods that are loaded were from the workshop iirc
you have never downloaded mods from other than workshop sources?
like googledrive etc
check the launcher settings for custom startup parameters
"Mods", "Parameter File" and "Command Line" are all possible.
still shouldn't be overflowing now with 8gb and only 4.8 being used. it would need to spike suddenly by 4gb.
easy to test by enabling pagefile back on
it is never really recommended to turn it off anyway
Yeah i saw the command line and it listed all the mods, Ill launch the game again to test. Thanks
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.
how do the startup commandlines get filled with stuff without people knowing
Honestly not sure. Comes up occasionally.
also gpu z said that system memory used was only <10gb
so the spike would need to be ~10gb.

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.
I havent even touched the parameters settings. Probably wasnt necessary to redownload 150gb worth of files.But it works now. Thanks
cant say that I have heard much good about win11 😅
I'm planning to install tiny11_b2, which is supposed to be a stripped down version that only uses 1gb ram.
there isn't really such a thing as a good version windows. so that is about the only real option i can see for cutting the bloat.
the only reason i'm not still using windows 7 is large pages.
10 has worked alright. Though I did postpone swapping to it as long as I could. (well old machine could not handle 10 anyway back then and new one could not work with 7 anymore when the time came)
yea i suppose my alder lake board won't boot with 7.
how can i fix this?
Very hard to answer since we have no info than that. How you've done this?
just copy and paste the dude or get rid of a broken static anim poses mod you probably have there
i have no clue, it happens when i have my unit's mods loaded.
Then there would be no answer either
If you really want to troubleshoot, check the pinned post for a good method to determine which Mod does that
Also at least can you provide more info how you've done? No clue is not the answer, at least you know when it does so
@sweet depot
so it happens when i apply an animation. But not always, randomly. It gets fixed after reloading the mission
...Via Artwork Supporter?
yeah
Not randomly AFAIK. It does happen if you try to get one load and unload into a vehicle
i thought so too but then it happened when i was applying an animation no where near a vehicle
also the vehicle in background of that video, i converted to simple object
Well since you seem to have a LOT of Mods, can't say further than abovementioned
If you really want to troubleshoot, check the pinned post for a good method to determine which Mod does that
alright, thanks
What do you mean by
my unit's mods
BTW? Why you need to have multiplayer presets to shoot a photo?
private mods, i take photos for my unit so i need their gear and stuff
having page file available, doesn't mean it gets used.
Something in graphics something requires there to be pagefile space just in case ram gets full, if ram never gets full it will never be used. But if its not there at all, it cannot use it and will fail outright
Doesn't work won't work either
hello im new at using zeus and whenever i spawn a unit like a tank or any thing else like infantry the model just disappears and i double click on them to check the button "Show Model" and then i click "OK" it works for a second but the model disappears again and i double click the unit and the "Show Model" button has been unchecked and it repeats everytime i try to activate it
Hello, getting the classic No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgWorlds.Tilos'. when trying to start the mission after entering the lobby, terrain is loaded on the server, name in the command line is correct, banging my head against the wall
could be just broken terrain
or the mods are not actually all correctly installed on server or on your end
probably, it worked a couple of months ago
i will double check right now
reinstalled the terrain and it comes in a pbo, could that be an issue?
all addons are in pbos
thats the Arma addon container
where does it come from?
steam workshop?
yep
does it start locally for you into editor?
yep, but it needs the Splendid Lighting Mod to work otherwise you get a black sky, pretty old map
big oof I suppose
mmmh, it worked a couple of months ago no problem, maybe some of the recent updates killed it
i think i will need to local host this one
hey, can somebody help me?
fixed the problem lol, I couldn't look down. my sensitivity to look up was about 100x higher than looking down
had to reset my controls
👍
for future, the channel works so that you just write your problem and if someone knows they answer.
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
Admin access is just:
passwordAdmin = "xyzxyz";in the server config file. Some special characters should be avoided but I forget which.- (re)Start the server and connect to it.
- Press
/or whatever your text chat keybind is. Type#login xyzxyz
i reccently upgraded to a new and better pc and now it seems there is an extreme bottleneck on my arma 3 only 15-20 units spawned in zeus and the game starts to flicker horribly and my fps drops from 70-80 to 5-10. Both modded and vanilla. I have verified the game, deleted and reinstalled. Does anyone have any fixes?
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.
What kind of transmission you mean? Vanilla VOIP?
Hi thanks for the reply. We use discord PTT to try and simulate real radio protocol.
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.
So you want the beep before and after someone press the PTT in Discord VC?
Yeah ideally mate.
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
But where the other lads will hear the beep too when I end trans.
Ok will see if anyone else replies here and then go from there. Thanks for input.
quick update on this i can now access admin and the server settings to update them however my mission file still keeps booting me into a version thats old to the point where it doesnt have anything that i personally added onto my exported version thats the most up to date
Then you need to check which file is your scenario that is stored on the server. Check file time/datestamps.
And reupload if neccesary.
Thank you
Hello. I keep getting ctd in about 5 min in bootcamp and training. Error code 0xC0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION.
Not sure what the cause is. No mods installed, and should be able to run it. I have crash dumps if necessary
Is that from a recent install or an old one?
Brand new to arma. Just installed today
Try removing any USB headsets.
Am I able to add them back later? Lol
It's a test at least :P
Aye captain. Give me five min to ctd
Could it be because I downloaded someones loadout and controls?
why would you do that if you're brand new to the game?
Cause it was said to be a massive time saver. I figured I can always tweak it later
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
I just finished bootcamp after 4 hours of trying lmao. Thank you so much
And thank you
do yall know how to fix this?
blue and green pixels are every where on my screen and I can't make them go away
I verified my game files updated my drivers
they are called artifacts
either your GPU is overheating or you should give it last rites as it is about to die
ok
excuse me could someone please help me with my game its runs very low in performance and its verry buggy and freezes a lot ive watched tutorials on how to optimize your settings but nothing works
might as well mention you do have nearly minimum spec machine so there might not be much you can do
welp
its kinds too late to return the game
btw my motherboard has broken pins and my ram is broken
well i just spent 30 bucks on a game i expect it to function properly
😑
its too much money to repair
could I get a question answered about hosting my own server?
only way to know is to ask it #arma3_questions
Can windows 10 and windows 11 play together?
Essentially, I am trying to host a server for my friend and I to both play on
He is on windows 11 and I am not
Whenever I host the server, he is unable to see it
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
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 have port forwarded to 2302-2303
Is the 2306 limit a new thing?
Our severs together used to work
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
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
Does it need to be UDP only?
should not matter as long as its not only tcp I suppose
Alright, Ill try to increase my port range I suppose
Thanks for the feedback! @uncut trellis
good luck
Hi there, idk if I'm asking this in the right chan but I've got issues w/ Publisher, I'm stuck on this page since like 1 hour :
does anyone knows if it's normal du to the weight of the upload ?
that is preeetty hefty upload so possibly
yeah it's it's a set of many of my mods so that my guys can use 3den editor x)
so it's really heavy
My latest 2 new items had Publisher get stuck and needed process killed, but they made it into workshop just fine. Check your workshop page.

Uh
What, chatgpt?
Yeah you starting to understand?
Uh
Hang on
_chatgpt_npc = this;
_chatgpt_commands = [
"hello",
"how are you",
"what's up",
"goodbye",
"see you later"
];
_chatgpt_listening = false;
[] spawn {
while {true} do {
if (_chatgpt_listening) then {
sideChat "ChatGPT: Listening...";
waitUntil {!_chatgpt_listening};
sideChat "ChatGPT: Processing...";
_chatgpt_response = _this select 0;
sideChat format ["ChatGPT: You said '%1'", _chatgpt_response];
// do something with the response here
};
sleep 0.1;
};
};
addMissionEventHandler ["ChatMessage", {
_chatgpt_message = _this select 0;
_chatgpt_sender = _this select 1;
if (_chatgpt_sender == _chatgpt_npc) then {
_chatgpt_message = toLower _chatgpt_message;

Did you wrote this?
No
Then who?
Jesus
What
ChatGPT is not reliable when it comes to programming (especially SQF), it has basically generated code that doesn't make sense here
Well what does work
Nothing
Your so helpful
No sarcasm needed
I wasn't
Chat GPT is a tool to write stories and make up words that sound believable.
Making up things that sound believable simply doesn't work in programming.
Yeah it does it already made code that works just when I added this part it couldn't fix it
What?
It's made other code but this one you looked at is the part that doesn't work
Well I know that code doesn't work, because at minimum _chatgpt_commands and _chatgpt_npc variables are undefined and sleep 5; is not valid there
Also MEH ChatMessage doesn't exist
Also the eventhandlers name is "HandleChatMessage", not "ChatMessage"
It's for the code in the sqf files
Whatever, it is not a working SQF code
Also
_chatgpt_message = _this select 0;
_chatgpt_sender = _this select 1;
this is wrong, first argument is channel, second argument is ownerid of the sender
Yeah well ok how would you guys go about connecting chatgpt to a unit?
Its not too far off though, just need like a dozen corrections then it would work ish

To have the AI reply? you can't
You would need to learn real programming and write a Extension in C++/C#, and then find some web API for chat gpt
oof, i'm pretty sure the 1st of April is long gone across the globe 
I have an API already
REST API?
Ded said API is not the only thing you need
Why are you saying anything when it's not helpful
I was still typing
Uh I'd have to look at it I don't believe so though
If you have a REST API, then you could potentially use https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/226687-http-requests-extension/
But.. I doubt it. You'll definitely need a real programmer to get you there though, ChatGPT won't be able to build that for you.
As I said, its just a believable story writing tool, not a programming tool
Extension to make http requests, currently supporting: GET POST PATCH DELETE PUT First parameter is the mode. Second is the method. Third is the url. Fourth is the authorization, if no authorization needed just pass null Fifth is the request body, only used by POST, PATCH and PUT, if no body need...
Have you used it?
And uh seems like y'all got a bad stigma on ai in here
For write scripts, they're very bad as of yet. Especially for writing SQF
As Ded said it is a good tool to make a story
Who said anything about magic
More importantly, I see how often people come here asking for help, posting absolute nonsense code. And when people ask how they came up with it, they say chat gpt wrote it
I mean it definitely gets mixed up but I mean it slowly gets the ideas when you reinforce info so it knows what to try but I can't really guide it since I don't code myself
Maybe with GPT-4, but not even sure
Well I mean I did throw code and question other places but no such luck
Well I mean you can train 3 it just tends to forget what you tell it and things you apply
Its a good tool to give you an idea, or a outline/structure for what you want to do.
But you have to know enough to know what it gets wrong and how to correct it
But I just want to integrated it and be able to train it on arma
Ya well even when I do go looking other places from people it doesn't help when I don't get anyone of seeing errors and it's worse when the error message is blank even for small text
Good point, I'll see what I can do about that empty error message
I believe was an ancient "error", from 2001. But no real scriptors care because they write nothing there I guess
Also is there a way to view the errors that show up in game and then fade
have a nice sunday
