Arma RPT

Arma generates a .rpt log file each time it's run, which contains a lot of information like the loaded mods, or any errors that appear, this log file can be very useful for troubleshooting problems.

To get to your RPT files press Windows+R and enter %localappdata%/Arma 3

Additionally see the wiki page for more info: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Crash_Files

To share an rpt log here, please use a website like https://sqfbin.com/ to upload the full log, that way the people helping you can take a look at it and try to figure out the problem you're having together with you.
Note: RPT logs can hold personal information relevant to your system, the game or others.

[quaint jewel]

^ there, inside the RPT file

[signal flower]

Ooooh wait for seeing the error messages that show up when in play mode?

[quaint jewel]

all error messages

[signal flower]

Oh wow thanks your a Chad thanks for taking your time with my small brain

I appreciate it a lot

I hope it's not coming off as sarcastic

[signal flower]

Cause I'm actually happy for you talking and explaining it to me

[ocean cosmos]

guess what i was trying with the tts code you sent me

[quaint jewel]

Ah it errors because that sideChat command is invalid. Its missing the left side argument

[ocean cosmos]

chatgpt just doesn't answer well enough for arma use imo -- for both answering as AI and scripting. its a milsim game with a chatbot that hates violence, won't get you very far 😂

[quaint jewel]

Just tell it to pretend its a chatbot that loves violence

[ocean cosmos]

They patched that :/

[bronze river]

chatgpt dev does limits the bot on how or what it can say

[ocean cosmos]

the worst part is when presented with options it just explicitly says it will not choose option 3 or w/e because condoning violence is against its terms of use

[steady hawk]

To annoy Dedmen? Guess it works

[ocean cosmos]

imagine if a civilian ran up to you and started yelling that at you in a robotic tts voice

[quaint jewel]

Ah I see, I guess I broke that error message.
it should be displaying the script error. But by the time the error dialog is opened, that error has already been cleared

omg the deepest rabbit hole, why

[ocean cosmos]

dedmen.exe has stopped responding

[quaint jewel]

Fixed 😠

[steady hawk]

Missing ;? But where!??!?!?!??!

[nova elm]

In the Init

[quaint jewel]

I broke that in 2.06 and we only notice now 📉

Automated tests where

[spiral nova]

Hi,

a player on my server has a problem. With him the game crashes from time to time, when it is crashed and he reconnected it crashes again after a short time. He then can't play the whole evening (the described problem repeats itself). Out of about 50-60 different players on the server it only happens to him. But not always (mostly when there are many players on the server (about 20-30) and there is a lot going on (explosions/shots etc.)).

Here is the error message from the RPT file:

20:17:24 File read error: F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3!Workshop@CUP Weapons\addons\cup_weapons_sounds.pbo,17: Data error (cyclic redundancy check).

20:17:25 File read recovery from error 17 has failed with error 17: Data error (cyclic redundancy check).

20:17:25 Error 17 reading file 'F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3!Workshop@CUP Weapons\addons\cup_weapons_sounds.pbo'
20:17:25 ErrorMessage: Data error (cyclic redundancy check).
20:17:25 Application terminated intentionally
ErrorMessage: Data error (cyclic redundancy check).

Does anyone have a clue or need more information?

[quaint jewel]

Its not an Arma error, Arma is just forwarding a windows error.
See https://www.google.com/search?q="cyclic+redundancy+check"+error+17 for some leads

[spiral nova]

Thx for the fast help, like everytime 😃

[long ether]

why do i only have vanilla zeus

cant spawn any modded stuff

[uncut trellis]

your zeus is probably not set up to use modded content

[long ether]

ye

[brave patrol]

hi, help me, arma 3 is crashing, that's what he writes in crash bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/O_Soldier_base_F/HitPoints/HitLeftArm/: Cannot find base class 'HitLeftArm'

[pine kite]

What scenario are you playing? Is it from the workshop? Try a vanila one. See if it keeps crashing. If it is ok, then the scenario is at fault. Or play without any mod enabled. That isolates if it is a mod being broken. If it still crashes when playing anything Arma 3 then it is somehow gone corrupt. Then verify your game install through Steam:

!steamverify

[rustic eagle]

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.

[frosty veldt]

Hi, I joined my friend's direct server, and when I entered, it didn't give me the option to select a squad. I can press okay, and my name turns green, but he will load into the game without me, how can I go about fixing this im new to the game and the menu is already overwhelming

[umbral narwhal]

How long did you wait for?

[frosty veldt]

like 30 seconds

[umbral narwhal]

give it a minute at least.

[frosty veldt]

thx will give it a try

[frosty veldt]

ok its been 5 min still nothing

[upbeat spire]

Try to load any of premade missions and see if you can load. if you are trying to load in custom missions Myb the mission is not setup correctly.

[frosty veldt]

some of the pre made missions work but not all of them, none of the custom mission works so far

well there is one custom mission dynamic recon ops which work but the host can spawn in but I cant

[umbral narwhal]

network issue, I guess. Host is failing to send mission data correctly.

[wise egret]

So recently, as in the last couple of days, me and my mates have been running into an issue where we "trip" over each other, causing us to ragdoll. Unsure if this is something Arma default related or a mod issue but has anyone had this issue before and found a fix?

[uncut trellis]

is not default behavior at least.

[wise egret]

I was looking through ACE and couldn't find anything

[uncut trellis]

could be something else too I suppose.

[civic brook]

TL;DR: What should you do if you place AEGIS down as Zeus and it doesn't activate anything?

I only have a few hours as Zeus. Usually when I place it everything activates automatically. Am I missing something or is there some troubleshooting I can do?

[frosty veldt]

Any idea on how to fix it or how to contact official support?

[umbral narwhal]

Nah, too many things that can go wrong these days. Official support won't be able to help either.

It's kinda curious because at least some packets are getting through, so it's not the usual port forwarding failures.

More like UDP packets above a certain size are getting dumped. But you'd need a network engineer on-site to have a shot at diagnosing that.

Best the host can do is restart router, turn off any weird firewalling, network bridging etc and hope.

[frosty veldt]

Thank you

[tame grove]

In the main menu i get 3 fps. I normally get 53-70 fps. I reinstalled the game and my fps went back to normal. I come back play to play again and the bug is back. It does it with or with out mods. Even with graphics on lowest setting. Is there a way to fix this?

[steady hawk]

Low graphic is rather worse than medium. Try to autodetect first

[tame grove]

Already done that plus youtube videos.

I've done everything my guy

[steady hawk]

Define everything. Apparently we don't know what you've done

Also, is this issue exclusive in the main menu?

[tame grove]

Youtube videos i mean. Like none of them work.

[steady hawk]

Answer my last please

[tame grove]

In main menu and in game

I think it may be my ram. I’ll work on it then let you ya know how it is. I know it’s not my CPU because my CPU runs 4.016

[steady hawk]

Maybe your assumption is true, I recalled the notorious 3FPS issue

[steady hawk]

Do you have latest rpt and can post this?

[tame grove]

What is rpt?

[steady hawk]

Bot explains

[tame grove]

Ok. I’ll have to do it tomorrow and check back with ya due to I have to get up early. Thank you for the help. I will complete it tomorrow.

[steady hawk]

Night. Might I'm still up once you got up

[golden nova]

turn battleye on

[vapid moon]

arma crashes sometimes when i open attributes for a car/group

[quaint jewel]

There are only freezes in that zip.
Man that really must be alot of attributes and scripted eventhandlers on them 🤔

Atleast one of the attributes's controls has a OnLoad event on it, that runs a find script on a very large array.
So large that it takes so long to get through it all, that game thinks its frozen

array = [ 26311 items]
👀

"brm_6b_egrain_com"
is a value in that array
ArmaScriptProfiler might be able to tell you which mod does the bads

Its a "AmmoBox" attribute/control?
is that the one with the inventory thing that always takes ages to load?

[vapid moon]

probably

[vapid moon]

what is "armascriptprofiler"?

[quaint jewel]

its a mod that lets you analyze performance of scripts

probably too much effort to get going

[vapid moon]

also, when i try to load a save of any missions i get an error "you cannot play this mission, it's depending on a content that has been moved/deleted"

something in the lines of that

and then all of my scripts that are saved as .sqf files are not visible to the game

[steady hawk]

Not related but it is because you're missing some Mods to play the mission

[vapid moon]

so i can't execVM anything

[vapid moon]

no.. i just played my own mission, died, loaded an autosave and it gave me that error

same with other missions from other creators

[steady hawk]

🤔

That definitely is not a normal behavior

[vapid moon]

yeah..

[golden nova]

does it happen when you play others' missions with no mods?

at least not the non-required ones

[vapid moon]

prolly should review my mods and delete the unnecessary ones

[vapid moon]

never tried it

[vapid moon]

well this is going to be a fun evening

[golden nova]

you load way too many maps at once.

you'll have less errors and more performant game if you just load with single terrain and reload/restart when you want to play something else

[cunning willow]

I have a weird issue. When a building is destroyed, the ruin version is spawned but then the original isnt despawned. So Ill have both intact and ruined rubble pile.

[golden nova]

probably a mod issue

[cunning willow]

Yea was thinking that. Wonder what it is. Welp time to mess with everything I guess until I find the right one.

[uncut trellis]

some mod most likely breaks vanilal configs

[golden nova]

mods replacing CUP buildings to Contact and similar can do that

[uncut trellis]

and thus inheritance of destruction effects

[pine kite]

Disable halve the mods and check whether it repeast, then try to halve the other halve.

[cunning willow]

Well, SOG hospital does it, but the altis airport control tower doesn't

[uncut trellis]

does it do that with only sog loaded?

[cunning willow]

Well, I remember it also happening on tanoa a while ago.
I seem to have found a potential fix? Maybe?

like, can't open the escape menu?

[cyan hawk]

ACE3 edits the Blackfoot's 20mm cannon and replaces it with its own weapon + ammo, hence why the mission thinks you don't have ammo to shoot the targets.

Try playing the mission without ACE3 active.

[ocean cosmos]

dont play vanilla scenarios non vanilla

[cunning willow]

Well, you can, but be prepared for weird stuff :P

[wispy surge]

Under Multiplayer’s “Respawn on Custom Position” there an option to check “Select Respawn Position”

When that said option is checked why is it that

1. My loadout is reduced to default (i.e. developer’s premade characters)
2. Gets sent to the very most Southwest corner of the Terrain
3. I respawn in that said corner even though I setup the respawn elsewhere

[ocean cosmos]

what is your respawn delay

[wispy surge]

0 or a few seconds

[ocean cosmos]

set it to 10 and test

arma doesnt like little respawn delay

[vapid moon]

tried to install bi tools..

[wispy surge]

I’ll give that a try

[cyan hawk]

Don't install those tools. They're intended for Arma 2, not Arma 3.

If you want to mod for A3, install the (free) Arma 3 Tools on Steam.

[wispy surge]

That’s new I still get sent to the Southwest corner but Respawn is apparently disabled
(NOT GOING TO INSTALL TOOLS when everything I learned about respawn is already working before trying to get “Select Respawn Position” to work)

In any case looks like I won’t be checking “Select Respawn Position” anymore
Thanks for the help anyway sorry for asking

[golden nova]

message about tools was to vad1m4, not you

[fringe salmon]

Im playing antistasi plus with my friends and for some reason I can't interact with anything and none of the antistasi plus things show up for me. I have the correct mods, ive verified and all, still no luck.

[broken salmon]

I have absolutely 0 audio in game i have a wirless headset i have used my airpods and 3.5mm headset still 0 luck any advice ?

[broken salmon]

run a clean install and spent 130 minutes in game checking files and ingame launcher settings

[uncut trellis]

most likely your windows default audio device is not set to the headset

Windows tends to forget the wireless devices

[broken salmon]

it is set it works for everything else as well as swapping in-between devices it was working yesterday

[abstract cloud]

So I reinstalled Arma 3 and all the mods I used to have. This happens to most of the characters in mods not only unsung. I am quite sure that it could be mod but idk how to find which one or how to fix it. Also Idk if this is the right channel so apologies if so.

[uncut trellis]

turn off half your mods, see if it works right, repeat until you find it

definitely is some mod breaking the game

[abstract cloud]

Ok cheers. Ill try the method.

[broken salmon]

I have absolutely 0 audio in game audio i have a wirless headset i have used my airpods and 3.5mm headset still 0 luck any advice ?
run a clean install and spent 130 minutes in game checking files and ingame launcher settings
default aduio is set it works for everything else as well as swapping in-between devices
Arma 3 was working fine yesterday

[civic brook]

tRY TO NOT USE DEFAULT SETTINGS. iT BUGS OUT FOR ME RANDOMLY. mAKE SURE YOUR AUDIO ON pc AND IN GAME ARE SPECIFICALLY SET TO YOUR PREFFERRED OUTPUT DEVICE

[civic brook]

Sorry for caps

[broken salmon]

already done no effect

[civic brook]

What is your output?

[broken salmon]

my headset and i have switched between all possibiliotys

[golden nova]

if you don't see mission stuff then either you don't have all required mods or mission is wrongly configured

not much magic behind that.

compare your mod preset with what is loaded on server and make sure you're not missing any soft dependencies.

[broken salmon]

^^^^^

[fringe salmon]

I've done that. I'm 100% sure it matches completely

Yet whenever I load in it takes antistasi about 30 minutes to load until I can interact with shit

[pine kite]

Use less mods -> quicker it's done and you get to the action.

[green dirge]

Hello guys,
Trying to fix an issue with the radar warning reciever.
Modded aircrafts give 0 tone (Tetete's FA18; RHS Ah64 etc)
Vanilla planes ofer super low audio only on 100% vanilla modlist

any ideas what's causing the issue ?

[pine kite]

Are you flying 3rd person? Is there a difference in audio level when inside the cockpit?

[modest jolt]

this is me running around outside of zeus as the ai after controlling them, i have no idea how to fix this and any help is appreciated

also, after controlling the AI, i cant interact with said ai or other spawned ai and the only way to fix both of these issues is to abort the mission and reload in

[bronze river]

Dude invented 2nd Person Shooter

[modest jolt]

its weird af, i can only shoot with the m60 to

[cunning willow]

always or just sometimes?

[modest jolt]

always

100% of the time

[steady hawk]

Always doubt your Mods

Pinned is the good method to check which one is the faulty

[modest jolt]

its zeus enhanced

think that update they did a bit ago broke it for me anyway

[chrome current]

Is your CBA up to date? Latest zen uses some newer CBA things

[modest jolt]

p sure it is

[ocean cosmos]

Double check

[vague lake]

Anyone can help me with an issue I have on my server? I'm trying to edit settings for a mod through cba

So I set them and than press OK

But nothing changes. And when I open addon settings page again nothing is changed

[golden nova]

you set serverside mod settings through CBA settings file

[vague lake]

Oh where can I find the settings file?

Can I not change it using the ingame editor? As admin?

[golden nova]

https://github.com/CBATeam/CBA_A3/wiki/CBA-Settings-System

you change the settings through editor but to have the changes on server, you need to export them to the settings file.

[vague lake]

This is what I do tho

[golden nova]

but you are changing these settings on your PC, not on your server.

[vague lake]

Everything is set to overwrite both mission and client settings

[golden nova]

yeah, and to have server settings override mission and client, you need to export server settings to the cba settings file.

[vague lake]

Even logged in as admin and changing stuff on the server tab?

[golden nova]

read the whole page, you'll see how it's done

[vague lake]

Alright I will look into this

Another question. I want to enable Zeus for admins on a premade mission. I have tried unpacking the pbo but I only get a json file so I don't know how to load it into the editor

[golden nova]

how did you unpack the pbo archive?

[vague lake]

Pbo manager

[golden nova]

if it's json then it is possible that the pbo is obfuscated and you cannot modify it

[vague lake]

Also if you play on servers don't you download the mission file to ur documents folder? But my mission folders are empty

[golden nova]

missions you play on servers are downloaded to your cache

somewhere in %AppData% Arma folder, don't remember now

[vague lake]

Aaah

[golden nova]

AppData\Local\Arma 3\MPMissionsCache in my case

[vague lake]

It is the co-10 escape missions. And he does have the pre compiled missions on github but I have no idea how to load them into the editor. And it's a 2gb file

[golden nova]

I don't think Arma can even read a mission bigger than 1GB

can you send a link to that github repo

[vague lake]

https://github.com/CaptainPStar/co10_Escape

It's a compilation of 1000 different mission configuration on different maps

[golden nova]

I don't see anything there that would be 2Gb size. You sure you downloaded the right thing?

you can click on one of the packs in Releases tab to download missions that are ready to play, or click on the green "Code" button to download the repository in its current state. The downloaded zip file is around 15mb of size

I unpacked first mission from the latest release pack and it changed to the folder which you place in your Documents/MPMissions directory to edit it, no jsons anywhere

[vague lake]

Wtf. Maybe my unpacker is messing up than

So just unpack the pbo. And put the folder in mpmission folder. Open arma go to editor load correct map and load mission?

[golden nova]

yes, your custom created missions save into the mission directory in your Documents so pasting a mission folder there will make it editable

[vague lake]

nope i can't see it in the editor

sadly i have to go now so can't troubleshoot more today

[golden nova]

ah right, mpmissions are accessible when you open editor from the multiplayer tab

multiplayer -> host -> choose the mission -> select "Open in editor"

[vague lake]

Aah will try that tomorrow

[sinful lantern]

Hey, can someone tell my why my unit logo is not displayed ingame when playing in multiplayer? Single player does work sometimes but when it comes to Multiplayer it just does not show, Arma recognises that I got a new picture equipped but does not wanna show it. It is already rendered down to about 50 kb I think, so it is definitly in the limit. maybe someone has an Idea why it does not show? https://units.arma3.com/unit/katadvancedmedical

[golden nova]

Might be an issue with BI servers, as usual.

Do Units and/or logos load in your launcher?

[sinful lantern]

yes

everything loads

it's only this unit tho

all my other unit work perfectly

no problem what so ever

[ocean cosmos]

read the error and do what it says

[lusty mason]

The mod has both the bikey and bisign, checked with DSCheckSignatures no problems, reinstalled on both client and the server.

[umbral narwhal]

Is the key in the keys folder on the server?

[lusty mason]

yea

everything is set up properly just for some reason it keeps giving that error, also verified its integrity no problems

[umbral narwhal]

Can anyone else connect successfully?

[lusty mason]

No..

[umbral narwhal]

Is this your own mod?

[lusty mason]

no its from the workshop

[golden nova]

no errors in DS checker doesn't mean the mod is properly signed unfortunately

either you copied old key files without noticing or author didn't check the option to overwrite signatures in DSSignFile

[lusty mason]

I'll see if the author can resign it

[lusty mason]

Its probably something with the mod itself as my server has the workshop built into it so I don't copy over files to the server.

[golden nova]

so do you have that key in server keys folder?

because I highly doubt any "built-in workshop" solution automatically takes the key file and copies it to the specific directory on your server, since key files can be placed anywhere in a mod

[lusty mason]

yes, and it does

[golden nova]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[lusty mason]

it looks for the keys folder of the mod then adds whatever files are in that folder to the servers keys folder, if the mod does not have the keys folder then it does not do this and I manually add the key

[smoky lichen]

any one had trouble with arma3 opening with mods loaded even though you have unloaded all mods ?

[steady hawk]

Elaborate?

[smoky lichen]

open arma3 launcher > click un load all mods > click play > arma3 opens yet mods are loaded and when you connect to a server that has no mods it says you can not join as it does not support mods

deleted cache.ch no luck

[steady hawk]

Does the main menu (bottom part) has a Mod icon there?

[smoky lichen]

in arma yes it shows all the mods

changed profile same thing

[steady hawk]

Then you have Mods, make sure you haven't done load Mods manually through Launcher's parameter

If in doubt, remove all params

[smoky lichen]

a little background i have 8,123 hours in arma3 and extensive coding knowledge i know arma inside and out its very bizarre this error
have tried the parameter route also

any other ideas 🙂

[steady hawk]

Verified?

[smoky lichen]

^ will try

[pine kite]

Somehow the launcher starts the game with mods listed in the -mod= parameter. Check in the parameters tab of the launcher if any of those are listed in there. Or check the shortcut to arma 3 that you use to start the game if it contains commandline parameters.

[steady hawk]

Or maybe try to launch arma3.exe or _x64 to verify the error is somewhere else

[smoky lichen]

all files verified. yes will launch exe and see

getting somewhere.. exe no issues

something up with launcher

ahh missed it in launcher all parameters i had a command line setup

all sorted

thanks for riffing with me

[steady hawk]

Oh good to know

[vague junco]

I’m having trouble with arma crashing when opening the game. Trying reinstalling, deleted mods and installing. Tried deleting all files and installing and zero luck

[steady hawk]

Any errors?

[vague junco]

just finished downloading test it again

[steady hawk]

You need to verify the game

[halcyon nacelle]

Has anybody ever had explosive rounds for every weapon ? Lol hand guns.are.like.rpgs....

[ocean cosmos]

yes, not a good idea

[fringe salmon]

Ok i have only 30 fps

3950x
5700xt
32gb

Wqhd
Low
1.5k view distance

[ocean cosmos]

ok 👍

[fringe salmon]

Thanks nice help

[steady hawk]

Better to state what exactly is the issue after all. Not everyone can assume what you want accurately

If you want more FPS, increase Video Settings

[fringe salmon]

You mean decrease

[ocean cosmos]

no

increase

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Performance_Optimisation

[fringe salmon]

I have to crank up to 4k? To get better fps?

[steady hawk]

Not the resolution

Video settings

[ocean cosmos]

arma does not use the gpu as much as it should do on lower settings so increasing graphics settings will shift more load onto the gpu

[fringe salmon]

Hmm

[steady hawk]

*Arma 3 more like RV engine

[ocean cosmos]

yes

[fringe salmon]

Rv is what

[ocean cosmos]

real virtuality

doesnt matter for this

[steady hawk]

Real Virtuality, the Engine

[ocean cosmos]

(which is why i said arma) 😉

[steady hawk]

Because AR is more optimized game, it doesn't apply

While Arma 3 does

[ocean cosmos]

hmmmm

you win this one

[steady hawk]

You lose I guess

Anyways, try to at least Autodetect for Video settings

Also it really is dependent on the situation/Mods/Missions/Server/whatever whatever

[fringe salmon]

koth

[steady hawk]

And how many players?

[fringe salmon]

90 fresh start

[steady hawk]

Then 30 FPS is more than enough I guess

[fringe salmon]

arma 4 will have 20 fps i guess

[steady hawk]

Arma Refoger already has 60 FPS

...And have you tried to increase the video settings already?

[fringe salmon]

yes

auto detect

31 playerrs

drops down to 30 from 45

[vague junco]

so trying to start arma 3 today and it will crash after trying to start up the game tried every thing that I can to trouble shoot it and still having this issue and will sometimes blue screen my pc

[golden nova]

no mods?

open your task manager and monitor resource usage, blue screen probably means your PC is too weak or something is dying in it

[fringe salmon]

intel or amd?

7950x or
some high end intel

[golden nova]

what?

[vague lake]

hmm nothing we talked about yesterday worked honger

but i did find that i have no Arma 3\userconfig\cba_settings.sqf folder

[vague lake]

well i figured out why cba wasn't working

now any ideas how i can add zeus to missions?

[golden nova]

open the mission in editor, place game master module and connect it to playable entity, save and export, upload to server, play.

[vague lake]

Yea. Except I seem to be unable to load it into the editor

I unpacked my mission and put it in the folder. I can choose the mission. But it will not load. And when I go to open the editor I can not see it

[golden nova]

then the mission is broken

or obfuscated in some way

[vague lake]

No

I think I know what the issue is

Somehow pbo manager was ducked

Not actually extracting any files.....

Just downloaded pbo viewer and now I see more files

[golden nova]

mhm could be

[brave imp]

What does this mean?

[quaint jewel]

What the first line says.
Arma has crashed

[brave imp]

No, I mean why has it divided by zero?

[quaint jewel]

Can't know from that

could be anything

That dialog says "Arma has crashed for some reason", without any extra/useful info about why

[glass cradle]

Hi so latley when i activate battle eye to play online the game crash my pc any help

[unreal sorrel]

hi is anybody here who can help me with arma modding on a dedicated server ? or point me to the right place to ask ?

[steady hawk]

You can try to ask what exactly is the issue you have, if this is not the place we can always point where to go

[pine kite]

Making mods for Arma is not specific or limited to dedicated servers. So please go in more detail as you currently refer to isolated things.

[normal wyvern]

After I spend some time playing 5-20min, in-game chat disappears and I can't see anything if someone writes to me or the team.
I've tried various solutions but can't seem to find the one that works for me.

[golden nova]

do you have the streamer mode or something enabled in the game settings?

[pine kite]

Hmm, I only had this happen in a specific singleplayer scenario when using Simple SinglePlayer Cheat Mode mod and enabling and going into Zeus mode. Doesn't seem related, unless you have that mod one loaded and use it anyway.

[normal wyvern]

Yes, could it be that?

I will try to disable it and check it out next time in-game

[golden nova]

yes, the streamer mode hides the chat so it doesn't show up when you want to stream

and it hides some other things I don't remember now

[normal wyvern]

totally makes sense

thank you

It made me quite a lot of problems when Zeusing

and players try to ping me, I have no idea who did it...

[golden nova]

it's supposed to hide player nicknames and server names too to avoid any stream sniping.

[normal wyvern]

Damn... I don't remember when I turned that option on, I just know it ducked me good

Thank you

[vague lake]

so arma is finally running great for me with my mods and i managed to add zeus to my missions

however i'm running into something weird

after some time not all enemy units are shown as zeus anymore

like this

but on others it works fine

oh i bet there is an option in cba

oh i just found out i can manually add them

[wheat scroll]

I have an issue where an error message pops up on my screen whenever I switch units within a single player zeus game it seems to fix whenever I go back to the zeus menu or back to my original unit

[umbral narwhal]

You're running a mod with a bug in it.

[wheat scroll]

is there anyway to tell what mod as I do have a lot running?

[umbral narwhal]

"WebKnight_StarWars_Mechanic" seems like a pretty good clue.

[wheat scroll]

I thought so as well but I do not have any type of files with that name

alright ill just go 1 by 1 on all my mods and turn some off and see where that goes just thought there might have been some way to figure it out to make it easier or if somebody else had an idea

[pine kite]

Halve by halve usually goes quicker to narrow it down.

Some mods depend on others though, so you'll need to be selective in making the halve cut.

[median valve]

weapons keep dissappearing in my zeus game with my friends

we have mods on but it doesn't matter how many we have, we tried testing with 1 mod and all mods

and when u swap too your secondary or holster your weapon and bring it back up to ready, it dissappears

[pine kite]

If you friend loaded mods, or whoever runs the server, and you didn't. Then the weapons, or whatever gear the missing mod provides, becomes invisible.

[median valve]

we have all the same mods

we checked, they unistalled everything they had and reinstalled exactly what i had

and the primary is already in our inventory and working when we load the map, but at some point it just dissappears

[pine kite]

Oh I meant in the 3d view. Not inventory. Don't know about that.

[umbral narwhal]

Which one mod did you leave? :P

[median valve]

we did a few

RHS, CUP, Frith's Ruins, ACE, and a few more i can't remember

we did a few indiviually

[blazing snow]

Hey is this the channel where I post a console error when creating opening and Eden file?

or like can find someone with help regarding that?

[steady hawk]

Here is fine, just ask first, or if not, we can guide where to go

[karmic halo]

Anyone ever had trouble with the -par startup parameter? It seems like it doesn't read the file or so

Target Line: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\arma3_x64.exe" -par "C:\par_Editor.txt"

par_Editor.txt
-noSplash

[umbral narwhal]

Shouldn't it have an = in there?

[lime sphinx]

if it's mandatory - then https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Startup_Parameters#Windows example needs a fix

[karmic halo]

FFS 😄

I copied it straight from there

[umbral narwhal]

Never trust an example :P

[vagrant mason]

So Im having a weird Bug, I've Dubbed it "Composition Lag". Where at the beginning of my game, it will do this sort of "Jitter" lag, where frames are fine, but it will randomly pause on a frame for half a second. after a while, it either stops, or if im in zeus, it will pop up with a "Error When Loading Steam Composition: (Number of Composition)"

I went into the game files to try and find the error, but couldn't. My theory is, it was deleted and is now trying to load the composition, but fails. Each one of those lag spikes, is the game trying to load the composition and failing. Any idea's on how to fix it?

i assume going into the files

And deleting a folder somewhere with that composition

[golden nova]

unsubscribe from compositions in Workshop

[vagrant mason]

i REALLY don't want to have to resort to that.

[karmic halo]

That was indeed the issue. Thanks!

[pearl sorrel]

error loading will be broken / removed composition. IIRC it was going to be fixed at some point.
But best thing is try and work out what composition it is that's causing the issue and unsub/delete it.

[vagrant mason]

That’s the problem, it doesn’t exist

In the game files

Or in steam

[vague lake]

so my server has reached a point where its strugglling to load in the units. if we start moving in the map now the server has to scramble to load in 100+ units and it will create some pretty bad lag spikes

now i read something about headless clients to distribute the unit load? my actual machine still has more than enough cores unused. so would i be able to have better performance by using headless clients?

and would i be able to just add it to any mission or?

[umbral narwhal]

when you say "load in the units"...

[vague lake]

Yes?

My server isn't the best for arma.... Only 2ghz cores

But I have 24 of them

[umbral narwhal]

I mean, if the limiting factor is units "loading in" then adding HCs probably isn't going to help. If the limiting factor is units pathfinding and running FSMs then it will.

[uncut trellis]

do you run heavily scripted mission? my guess is either you got scripts running on all clients that mess up the server fps or you need to have less active AI at the same time

[teal token]

Can anyone help me with a problem I have? Today I tried to direct connect to a private Antistasi server and I keep getting stuck on the Arma 3 splash screen. I have tried validating my game files, reinstalling mods, restarting both my game and my computer, and also restarting the server. I don't have any problems getting to the game if I don't direct connect to the server, but if I try to connect to our server the game will stick on the splash screen until I hit escape, in which case it boots me to the main menu screen.

[quaint jewel]

I heard of it, but couldn't reproduce it

[vague lake]

I'm currently running co10-escape mission with a good amount of mods. And I have a nametag script running. Which will put a nametag above everyplayer.

[golden nova]

"good amount of mods" is the problem and headless client won't help.

get a better server or reduce the amount of used mods to minimum

[vague lake]

The problem isn't low fps. (or not the big issue) the problem is straight up client freezing and huge rubberbanding. When this is happening and I'm in Zeus I can see the server spawning 50-100 units in a matter of seconds

[uncut sierra]

Hi!
I have a question:
What diagnostic tool You would suggest to check server performance (for Linux)?
I have issues with JIP, when player joins, game suffers from MASSIVE lag. Once it even crashed server entirely. In other situations, when Zeus spawns come units, there is also a visible lag.
And for last - we noticed that the longer mission lasts, the bigger performance drop, despite lesser and lesser amount of units on the map (even deleting dead units don't help).

Me and my friends currenlty blame netcode/basic.cfg or something with AI.
Do You have maybe an example of fine tuned basic.cfg that you use and works fine?

[uncut trellis]

do you run a lot of mods with complex features? Such lag spikes are often related to bad scripting that is run each time someone joins on each client or exponential times by client count. simplest startingpoint comparison would be to play completely unmodded zeus coop and see if the problem can be replicated

[uncut sierra]

We have tons of addons, but this issue is lasting only for few months when we didn't make any significant changes. For now we are trying to remove addon after addon, but it didn't make any success.
Currently PiR addon is tested for the blame.

[golden nova]

have you checked the RPT for any message spam? Running the #monitor command is good too to note what happens when the network clog is the biggest

[uncut trellis]

problem is most likely mods

they can break due to something updating somewhere along the way

[golden nova]

players with high ping/slow network can cause a consistently rising lag because of the G/NG message transfer being slown down to match their specs

it's not that "visible" on vanilla servers but when using specific mods like AI or VFX overhauls (even just serverside), a Phillipines player with 300ms latency on a European server will cause a very long rubberbanding phase when he (dis)connects

[elfin plume]

So, I am having an issue with my dedicated server that's used for our unit. Everytime someone joins the server, it lags everyone out. The person loading in gets stuck on "receiving data" for several minutes, until they finally load in.
At one point I looked at the server RPT and saw that ALiVE was running event handlers, so a clean uninstall of the mod fixed the issue temporarily. After about a week the issue started to appear again and this time I found nothing in the rpt that would explain the lag except for an unknown event handler that I haven't been able to trace back to a certain script/mod.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, if someone is willing to bother I can send an invite to our discord and share my screen to help visualize the issue.

[slim cape]

whats up with this?

[quaint jewel]

Check in Arma launcher BattlEye tab, if it said it blocked loading

[slim cape]

it does

[quaint jewel]

Using the real ace and not some 3rd party custom Version?

Battleye sometimes randomly blocks stuff, not much you can do besides waiting and retrying later

[slim cape]

ill check

im using the real ace

oh

yeah battleeye blocked it agsain

A few of my friends are unabale to direct connect to my server nor find it via the server browser. However, the rest of my friends can. The few friends live in the UK, the server is hosted in the US.
They cannot join via Steam/Friend Lists, etc. Nothing is popping up, any clues? The issue I am having only people that are in North America are able to connect to the server, people outside cannot.
I had my buddy turn on a VPN, he selected a region in North America and he was able to connect. So what the heck could this be?

[uncut trellis]

perhaps your ISP is blocking traffic from some countries? 🤔

[slim cape]

hello, is "Connected to steam servers" supposed to be the last thing on the cmd?
[7:45 PM]
because it looks like my server is up but i cant find it or connect

[fresh lichen]

They said nothing is region locked, I run a FiveM server and I have people from all over the country just fine.

[uncut trellis]

thats all I got im afraid

[restive sequoia]

Maybe their provider has some routing problems.
Maybe your hoster has some Ddos protection systems and their ip's are blocked

[fresh lichen]

Strange, these people can join the FiveM server just fine, just can't search / direct connect to the Arma server unless via a VPN.

[viral heath]

Keep getting this error

How do I fix it?

Other people are getting it to

thats the image

[umbral narwhal]

Repair Arma. If multiple people are having the issue then the corruption is probably on the server end.

[keen nimbus]

I can't join to my server because of this, how to fix it. I really need.

[uncut trellis]

you have some mod that is not made right

or you are missing a mod

[golden nova]

I guess it's just because he's playing with SMA and it is old, unsupported and broken

[teal token]

I have also re-installed my game and the issue is still persisting. Any help would be appreciated

[mental river]

Missing mod dependencies

[mental river]

Do you mean other servers work fine?

[teal token]

It was a serverside issue

[mental river]

Yeah I figured

[fresh lichen]

My ISP/Host is not blocking any traffic outside of North America. They confirmed that the ports are opened, us NA players can connect those from the UK cannot unless they use a VPN. The ports are opened via server side as well as the Windows Firewall. What the heck can be causing this?

They are unable to find the server listed or direct connect if they’re outside of NA.

[umbral narwhal]

Give me your IP and I'll check :P

Maybe they're just on Virgin media and their network is rotting again.

[fresh lichen]

45.144.225.31:2302

[umbral narwhal]

Detects fine for me.

[fresh lichen]

Working for you?

[umbral narwhal]

As far as the password at least.

[fresh lichen]

Where are you from if you do not mind me asking? My buddy is from Dorset and the other is in Cornwall

[umbral narwhal]

Hampshire. Matters more what network they're on though.

I'm on some bog standard BT reseller shit

[fresh lichen]

The Dorset guy is using Sky

But he was able to connect on our Linux machine but when I swapped to Windows he was unable to connect

[umbral narwhal]

hmm, I think Sky is openreach

[fresh lichen]

He confirmed yeah

Very strange

Any other ideas?

[umbral narwhal]

How many UK people is this? Just two?

[fresh lichen]

They are able to connect to my FiveM server so I am not sure if it's being blocked

[fresh lichen]

Just my two UK friends the server is just for friends

It is not popping up via browser nor direct connect but the moment he used a VPN it worked

[fresh lichen]

Weird, he's allowed to join now, maybe it takes a bit to register over the country?

Idk

It's working now\

[umbral narwhal]

Bear in mind that the server browser is hopelessly unreliable so the only test actually done here is direct connect.

Only takes one mistake there and you get nothing.

[fresh lichen]

Yeah it didn't work via direct connect before but it's all working now

very strange haha

[ocean cosmos]

What do i put in there?

[steady hawk]

Morning. IIRC just drag and drop does that

[tame grove]

Which one do i drag to be specific

[steady hawk]

Latest one

Wait you have -noLogs on?

[tame grove]

Which file is the log so i know which one to drag?

@steady hawk

[steady hawk]

An rpt

[tame grove]

So grab the latest date the drag and drop?

[steady hawk]

But it seems you have no good logs since you have -noLogs so we can't make any troubleshoot

Please turn of -noLogs and retry the game, so will produce another rpt

[tame grove]

I was just in the game a min ago

Like a 15mins ago or so

[steady hawk]

I know, that's not a suggestion actually

Turn off this, you seems have this

[tame grove]

Ok

@steady hawk

Got it

[steady hawk]

Yup seems a good rpt

Please send one

[tame grove]

Its in here what now

How do i share it?

[steady hawk]

With the website

[tame grove]

Do i copy that then paste it in the website?

[steady hawk]

Yes

[tame grove]

Ok did that what now?

[steady hawk]

Share the link

[tame grove]

https://sqfbin.com/

I don't think thats the link lol

[steady hawk]

Save it before

Uhh

[tame grove]

Is this it

Idk how you save it

[steady hawk]

No

[tame grove]

It says this

Won't let me

[steady hawk]

Try pastebin instead

[steady hawk]

GDrive?

Wait a minute do you have a permission to upload a file into here Directly?

Or, you can use my DM

[tame grove]

What about a notepad

[steady hawk]

It doesn't matter

It is a FILE

[tame grove]

So you want me to dm you the file

[steady hawk]

I want the file anyhow

[tame grove]

?

Ok i'll dm it

[steady hawk]

You have tons of Mods it seems, which I didn't know before

Have you unload them all and try?

[tame grove]

I'll unload them and try again last time i did it without mods i got the same results

[bronze river]

When in doubt, verify game files

[tame grove]

Be there done that. Don't work lol

[steady hawk]

Same results as in FPS is still bad?

[ocean geyser]

It's not. Use TFAR or ACRE, ACRE has more realistic end transmissions though

I am having issues with Arma save games deleting when I quit and reopen the game. For reference I have been playing Western Sahara and the East wind campaign. I have heard this could be a one drive issue. Any suggestions? I want SOG prairie fire but am so scared of losing saves lol

[fringe salmon]

ok so

i tried arma on my laptop too

30 fps stays

[golden nova]

that's Arma 3 at its best

[fringe salmon]

5900hx

3060

[golden nova]

gpu does not matter, CPU runs at 3,3GHz lowest and I doubt it can keep its turbo speeds in a laptop

[fringe salmon]

well i mena its a thick boi

liquide metal

but yeah its a laptop after all

but i mean i started the lap, startet arma and instantly have 30 fps ingame

so it didnt had time to head up

[umbral narwhal]

If it's a drive issue then it'll probably show up in event viewer. Otherwise, make sure you shut Arma down the slow way, not alt-f4.

[golden nova]

again that is Arma 3 at its best, it's a decade old unoptimized game, you either don't have your hardware running in turbo or its already hot enough it slows down just to not burn itself

dunno what ram you have there but assuming it is a gaming laptop, it's not very fast comparing to what you can normally find

[fringe salmon]

16gb

3200 or so

pc has 32 3600

[umbral narwhal]

Well, assuming that you're trying to play something like KotH or Warlords, 30fps is normal range. If you have 30fps in the editor then that's another matter.

[fringe salmon]

30 in k0th

but i asked around and other dont have the issue

is that an AMD only problem?

[golden nova]

no

do "others" have the same laptop as you?

[fringe salmon]

i was thinking of getting 7950x with the 3d cache

[fringe salmon]

no

but im running full amd

other dont

[umbral narwhal]

Is it actually 30fps or more variance?

[fringe salmon]

30 fps in the city

but sometimes it goes up to 40

just sometimes

rarely

starting area 50

[umbral narwhal]

meh, sounds normal.

[golden nova]

the if you want to compare your hardware performance to others, you should ask people that run the same stuff, otherwise you don't get any accurate info.

[fringe salmon]

who has a 3950x

[golden nova]

play with view distance, run some benchmarks, maybe don't run any 3rd party apps when you play Arma

[fringe salmon]

i mena view distance is 1km

thats nothing

[umbral narwhal]

Otherwise you'd get 20fps :P

[fringe salmon]

other run 10km

[golden nova]

highly doubt they run that in Warlords/KOTH, especially with more than 30FPS.

[fringe salmon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1N9xTUHRi0

this dudee runs 70 fps

[golden nova]

it's not a laptop.

[fringe salmon]

i tested both pc and laptop

...

30 fps on both

[umbral narwhal]

Are you talking about a PC with a 3950x?

[golden nova]

did you run any benchmark? Have you checked temps/bottlenecks/anything?

[fringe salmon]

yes

[fringe salmon]

temps dont eexeed 60deg

[umbral narwhal]

3xxx -> 5xxx, +20%. 5800X -> 5800X3D, +20%, 5800X3D -> 7800X3D, +15%.

maybe a bit more on the X3D upgrades.

[fringe salmon]

well if i can get my pc sold

i will buy and tell you

or if anyone has the cpu already

can tell

[torpid trail]

Where do I see the event viewer? And I typically close it down the from the main menu

[umbral narwhal]

Modern windows? Hit the windows key, type "event viewer" and hope it doesn't fill the results with a pile of shitty weblinks.

Then windows logs -> system

[pine kite]

So, how do you quit Arma 3? Alt-F4? Close the laptop screen? Task manager kill process? Or do you have OneDrive active on your system?

[chrome current]

My workshop item seems to have had all its comments removed, and the link to GitHub as well. Any one know how to find out what happened?

[pine kite]

Ask Steam I guess. If they did it, they should know why.

[uncut trellis]

he meant onedrive

[golden nova]

steam does that from time to time, dunno why, I had several of my mods "blocked" like that

probably people report it (even for no reason) and automod kicks in

[uncut trellis]

and @torpid trail you can disable one drive completely or probably for some particular folders too

[umbral narwhal]

hah, that rogue space killed my scan reading

[torpid trail]

I quit arma by going back to the main menu and hitting “quit the game” in the top right. I do have one drive active but am not sure how it’ll affect saves for other games

[torpid trail]

It saves to a folder in one drive, I probably should disable it altogether

[uncut trellis]

would be simplest solution especially if you dont really need it

[pine kite]

Ok, that is the right way to stop the game.
For many something goes wrong with Onedrive synchronising their Windows profile Documents file, which has a folder for Arma 3. Something happens that causes these files to go corrupt so Arma 3 starts to recreate it. I personally don't have a need for OneDrive so I removed it. But there may be a way so have Arma 3's folder to be exempt from synchronising in there.

Other people get a message that the cloud file provider is not running. Which is also due to OneDrive.

[tame latch]

Hey there, I just found out that a new version of PBOtools is being developed (for quite some time now), that seems like it's working just right. Didn't have a problem with signing pbos created with it (was just testing)

[hollow nymph]

has anyone experienced frame drops when holding shift key down? I will be standing still holding the shift key and my frames drop from 60 to ~35 fps.

[golden nova]

Running any mods? If so, load the game with none and check if it still happens.

[hollow nymph]

yea im running mods... I will try that once my files have finished validating. Ive read it can have something to do with Battleye

[ember lantern]

Does anyone know a dynamic mission generator script/addon which i could use for my own missions?

[golden nova]

Drongos Map Population, ALiVE can do that too

[ember lantern]

Using DMP at the moment. It's really nice but was hoping for something which is creating slightly more advanced/complex missions. Never used Alive. Will look into it. Is Alive heavy on performance?

[golden nova]

depends on how much you generate with it but no, not really

[steady hawk]

It is very hard to make everything that is complex automatically

[ember lantern]

Yea, very true. Looking to find a balance between randomly generated and immerive/complex

[ionic fern]

As soon as my friend opens Arma 3, the main menu Lags really hard and he gets only 2 FPS. It wasnt doing this until today. any fixes?

[golden nova]

using mods?

[ionic fern]

yes

But i have all the mods he has

so does the other person

but he still lags insanely bad just in the menu

and he has a better PC than mine

Had him try to load in without mods and he still lag in the menu

He has reinstalled

verfied integrity

all that good stuff

still lag

[golden nova]

idk then

[ember lantern]

Quick question on FPS optimization. Is it better to use Bohemia's dynamic simulation or custom caching scripts to achieve the best FPS during missions? For my missions the enemy AI does not have to move until they come into the radius of the player.

[ocean cosmos]

engine driven will be more performant in most instances

(dynamic simulation)

[ember lantern]

thank you

[pine kite]

Could be caused by Windows trying to show up a Sticky-keys dialog window in the background. Holding shift long can have a special function, Windows is then asking what to do. I disabled sticky-keys.

[worldly oak]

Anybody know what could cause AI piloted helis to only fly up ?

Playing DCO and the heli arrives without an issue at the LZ but whenever it takes off it just flies up with no end

Nvm

GGE weapon canting was it

[steady hawk]

It is very likely to happen if something is attached to a heli. AI wants to avoid the "obstacle"

[ocean cosmos]

needs to have damage set on the groundholder to 1 but gges mods are mostly broken

[worldly oak]

Whoops

not canting

weapon switch

either way removing it fixed it

that's such an odd mod to affect pilots

[ocean cosmos]

knew you meant weapon switch lol
and not really, the pilots think there's something on the floor beneath them so they keep going up to try get away from the floor

slinged weapon should be hidden in vehicles

or setdamage 1 to it

[worldly oak]

i was thinking it was one of my AI mods at first

till I saw some dude on the forums mention it could be GGE

[ocean cosmos]

would advise against using gge weapon swap -- been considering making my own version but I can't do animations or anything so may end up just fixing it

[worldly oak]

there is weapon slinging mod

so im gonna roll with it as an alternative

[ocean cosmos]

ah if its just for the slinging then that works

[worldly oak]

i rarely even use my secondary that much in SP so

no big loss really

[ornate spire]

I remember seeing someone else with issues related to objects flickering and causing massive FPS drops. Have we discovered what was causing that?

I got a 4090, it's not a lack of vram

I did the FLUSH command, it worked for a a short time, but then it started happening again

It's not blastcore, I've seen reports of this happening with people not using blastcore, and also people who were using blastcore who did not have this issue

[worldly oak]

So I guess removing GGE weapon switch fixed the issue for helicopters dropping me off to the LZ

but did not fix it for extract lol

[short tree]

anyone know whats up with this and how to fix it

[golden nova]

validate game files through steam

17:16:49 Roles assigned.
17:16:49 Reading mission ...
17:16:59 No entry '.model'.
17:17:17 Mission fallout20cuba.Gulfcoast read from bank.
17:17:17 Roles assigned.
17:17:17 Reading mission ...
17:17:29 No entry '.model'.

[uncut trellis]

broken mission, broken mods

start testing if no mods and some vanilla missions start ok and then try adding mods after that

[wheat trench]

the thing that doesn't make sense to me is if I host it identically on my client it doesn't care and loads just fine

[steady hawk]

1. Unload Mods
2. Verify game

[fringe wren]

Hey I've got an issue while connecting to certain servers, I'm stuck in "Receiving Data"
And if I wait a couple of seconds the message "Cannot get player UID, Display 46 is null" appears.
I've been able to connect to the same servers for years and this started like a week ago, I tried contacting the server support, we tried the common solutions like switching slots, restarting computer/router/steam/everything, deleting the mission file to force redownload again, and verify the game files.
If I continue trying for hours, sometimes I can get randomly into the server.

Any idea how to help, please ?

[cold aspen]

so i have second pc where i test my MP scenarios and i have problem when i host a scenario via eden editor
and join the game on my second pc then the senario is saved for the client as "__cur_mp" file
and as soon as i do any changes on the scenario and host it again the client gets kicked out, is there any way i can fix this?

[steady hawk]

@tame grove If you want to reply, do it here not my DM

[tame grove]

Ight

[sullen idol]

The East Wind, Wet Work mission, the mission where the player must confirm the kill on the enemy officer. I found the body but nothing happened, do I have to restart the mission or what do I do?

[steady hawk]

I do think you need to “confirm” not just to see

Control, Weapons > Reveal Target, default is T

You may need to check it out

[sullen idol]

I'm pressing T and doesn't work

[steady hawk]

Do you have any Mods? Especially ACE?

[sullen idol]

I do

[steady hawk]

Unload it and restart the mission

[sullen idol]

Well, ig I will have to turn them off

[sullen idol]

Ye, will do, no other option

[pine kite]

No mods with vanilla scenarios. Period! Solves a lot of issues.

[wispy surge]

Is it just me or did Zeus lose the ability to use IR night vision

[golden nova]

just you

you're probably running ace, it disables thermals in zeus mode iirc

oh wait, you're talking about nv

[wispy surge]

Is there a to re-enable it

[golden nova]

dunno, go through ace settings

[wispy surge]

Nothing under the Ace Zeus settings

[uncut trellis]

you will first need to figure out what mod breaks it

[golden nova]

it might also be disabled through a mission if you're playing a pre made scenario from workshop, https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_toggleCuratorVisionMode enables and disables visual modes for zeus

[wispy surge]

Interesting I’ll take a look
Thanks

[granite bridge]

hi so uh

im trying to move my profile data from my documents in c drive to a folder in my e drive

because its beginning to take up space for some reason and im already tight on space in c drive

but the solutions ive found either dont reduce that space or just arent really working out for me

[topaz field]

before i start
did you verfiy your game ? Yes
did you play with less mods? Yes
did you update you drives? Yes
is your pc potato? No

i Have 2070 Super
I5 10400f
16GB of ram

if any of yall know how to fix that please tell me this been happning from a month i cant play in peace

[granite bridge]

the solution i tried was moving the profile folders (Arma 3 and Arma 3 - Other Profiles) to e drive, then using the profile folder parameter to direct it to there, but while i guess it worked it also assumed i was new and reset my settings and whatnot

so its not really a solution if it thinks im new to the game

[uncut trellis]

how much space does your profile folder take?

you might be accumulating huge log files for some reason which you can delete (though if they are huge its likely because some error spam you would really want to take care of so it does not happen)

[uncut trellis]

check pinned messages for the wiki page about the unusual process exits

theres list of common ones and what kind of fixes might work

[granite bridge]

my default profile takes up 1 gb (apparently there are two? because my drive got replaced in a repair and it was renamed. not sure if i can delete the older one)

my main profile in other takes up about 1.3 gb

its not a lot but theyre by far some of the larger things in c drive and i want to move what i can to e drive

if i cant move it or reduce its size no sweat i guess, but i preferably want to, and moving it to e drive (which has like 200+ gb freed up) is a good shot

[uncut trellis]

looks like few mission savegames can indeed take that much space

[uncut trellis]

you'll just need to describe your problem in appropriate channel or #arma3_questions if you dont know where to post. Nobody can know if they can help you if they dont know what the problem is your question could fit in #server_admins or one of the other Server_ questions (or might not since dont know exactly what it is 😅 )

[royal bronze]

i started an internet game with UPNP on

and my friend is trying to get in

i told him to spam it cuz i had this problem myself too and i had to keep trying over and over

same for other friends from other friends that hosted

and i'm wondering, is there any solution to this??

OH YEA HI @umbral narwhal

i remember you from the antistasi server

do you know anything about this by any chance?

i was wondering if it'd be ok to ask you here since you were able to availably answer me last time

we're verifying our game rn

[royal bronze]

solved

but if anyone has a direct answer to this pls say so

i pretty much just turned off upnp, hosted, disconnected, re-hosted with upnp on, and he could join

[noble coral]

Hey yall, I've got a custom MP mission with weird respawns amidst other things. Everything worked fine locally, but when uploaded to a dedicated server the respawns stop working, Zeus cannot see edit or update anything, and tfar is stuck on "Waiting for unique radio from the server" Can't seem to find a fix, was wondering if anyone else has/had this issue?

[peak vigil]

Could anyone help me i am having trouble with battle eye blocking ace dlls.

[ocean cosmos]

battleye servers having a hiccup, nothing that can be done rn aside from wait

[peak vigil]

Cheers for the fast response, yeah ill give it some time.

[cloud surge]

So I have a issue maybe some of you could help me with. In the past two days everytime I load arma up with mods it crashes to desk top with a Access Status Violation

But if I launch without mods no issues

drivers are updated, cache verified

[uncut trellis]

well you could have some seriously broken mode in there

or you can check out the BI wiki page about the access violations if there is anything that commonly helps with them

[cloud surge]

The BI wiki diddn't work, I uninstalled, deleted and unsubscribed from all mods, reinstalled and redownloaded and it was still broken. I rolled back my drivers and it seems to be working now but I'm still looking for a total fix

[pine kite]

Some mods can simply be bad or broken. Since you are not comming with specifics, it's hard impossible to give a definite fix.

[uncut trellis]

did you try with just some mods?

not all

[cloud surge]

Only CBA works

[uncut trellis]

so you have tried all combinations?

[cloud surge]

I've tried various presets of mods. The only one that seems to be working is my unit's current deployment modset and my personal vietnam preset

I'm still in the processing of testing. LIke I said before rolling back my drivers seems to help somewhat

[uncut trellis]

there is probably not many that are broken like that

but definitely its a mod issue

[cloud surge]

That's what I was thinking because when I launch the game with no mods it works but with mods it crashes. The only thing I've found is that launching with CBA only it loads fine. Launch with ace and CBA it crashes but other presets that work have ace and they work

[fallen dune]

Whenever i go into Eden i can place a guy give him a loadout but as soon as i try to play it freezes. This has happened on two PC's but idk why

[uncut trellis]

possibly issue with whatever mods you have.

you can try checking the rpt log file if it shows any errors

!rpt

[rustic eagle]

Arma RPT

Arma generates a .rpt log file each time it's run, which contains a lot of information like the loaded mods, or any errors that appear, this log file can be very useful for troubleshooting problems.

To get to your RPT files press Windows+R and enter %localappdata%/Arma 3

Additionally see the wiki page for more info: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Crash_Files

To share an rpt log here, please use a website like https://sqfbin.com/ to upload the full log, that way the people helping you can take a look at it and try to figure out the problem you're having together with you.
Note: RPT logs can hold personal information relevant to your system, the game or others.

[fallen dune]

i thought that at first but copy and paste mods work on others pcs

[vapid moon]

arma gradually increases it's usage of my video memory until there's no more and then crashes. any fix?
Ryzen 7 5800x
16GB
RX 6800
game is stored on an ssd

[uncut trellis]

disable all mods and try that

[fallen dune]

trying rn, its prob the mod but i think something is making the mods make the game crash. i was thinking a driver and was just hoping you guys knew about it already

[lofty palm]

Just installed the game and it only gives me the option to play 4 official servers, no community servers at all any idea on a fix, also wont let me log into my account on the game.

[pine kite]

Make sure you verify your game install in Steam. If you let the launcher serverbrowser search you should get 5000-ish. You don't really need to make an account in the game. Your Steam account suffices to play the game. You can have multiple profiles, next to your main operating system name profile. But there is no password needed for that in Arma 3.

[uncut trellis]

Arma 3 or Arma Reforger?

and if Arma Reforger continue on #reforger_troubleshooting and check if you try to run the normal Reforger or the Reforger - Experimental

[grave rose]

So, just got my Joystick & doing some practice flying. Every time I try to start the engines on the Pawnee the entire thing explodes. Any help would be appreciated

[viscid minnow]

Has anyone com across the issue when respawn is disabled when loading into a mission on a server, however works perfectly fine in the eden editor/mulitplayer and when hosting a game locally?

[steady hawk]

1. Any Mods?
2. Is this an empty mission?
3. What about other helis?
4. How about with Basic Flight Model?

[grave rose]

No mods, empty mission, haven't checked.
And it is not the basic flight model

[steady hawk]

4. I know is AFM, I meant how about to try in BFM

[grave rose]

It's not BFM, I used that in the first few flights.
Friends are telling me that it might be clipping into the ground when the engines are kicked on which tbf could be the cause

[steady hawk]

I don't think is a case from what I see

Also have you tried to verify the game?

[grave rose]

I'm pretty sure it ain't the game files, because if it was it would not let me play

[steady hawk]

It COULD be after all. I see a lot of cases that the ingame error is solved via that

[grave rose]

After moving the Helicopter, the explosions have stopped

[steady hawk]

Moving in Editor?

[grave rose]

yea

[steady hawk]

🤔

I've never heard of such a "unlucky place to have a heli"

Probs your friend is right

[lofty isle]

are you kidding? collisions with vehicles and the ground I have had nothing but issues with the editor. I think it's even common advice to place your vehicles a meter above the ground in the editor and let them fall onto the ground to ensure it's not clipped.

thats what ive done anyway, never had anything explode after that

[bronze river]

sounds good on editor, bad on zeus mode as sometimes when vehicle drops on the ground it will damaged itself

[pine kite]

Well, people mix up Zeus and Eden editor all the time.

The difference is simple: Eden Editor has a proper application menu bar at the top for a load of different settings and ways to configure the scenario. Zeus just has camera overlay with compass heading in the middle, a left side list to select units in the scenario. And a list on the right with categories of units to spawn for different sides.

[jovial vector]

unsure where to post this, but in a mod I'm making, I'm experiencing a game crash - my only pointer, according to the log, is:

Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at E60F5CDB

I'm experiencing the same issue on the diagnostics branch, but at address 69BA88C9 (game version 2.13.150296). In all instances, a memory dump (*.MDMP) and a BI-dump (*.BIDMP) is generated upon crashing. Could I get a pointer towards the scope/context where the execution is being raised?

[quaint jewel]

I need the mdmp, on monday

[jovial vector]

copy - should I send you it via DM?

[quaint jewel]

yu, but need to either send or remind me on monday or ill forget

[jovial vector]

will do, thanks!

[shadow raptor]

Uhhh I loaded into game, and all of my loadouts were gone, anyone know why or if I can get them back?

[steady hawk]

What loadout?

[bronze river]

probably using wrong profile

[timber vine]

anyone known how to fix this issue?

[uncut trellis]

Is the server using that mod? In general to join a server you need correct mods loaded and nothing else.

[steady hawk]

Seems a bad modpack after all...

[timber vine]

yeah seemed to have figured it out thanks though, had other mods loaded that was not compatable

[runic glacier]

anyone know how to fix texture loss

oh nvm

!steamverify

Right Click on game -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity of game files

[golden nova]

do that, might wanna revert the mission if it's a singleplayer one

[uncut trellis]

na3_ characters is either some mod or typo in the mission

[golden nova]

it's \n

that error window does not "see" line breaks (in this case it's log that does not see it)

[charred sierra]

multiplayer

[golden nova]

then just verify files and start the multiplayer mission/join server

[charred sierra]

Done that

still same issue

[charred sierra]

that explains that

is there any-way to check what content im missing?

or could it be that my mods weren't up to date when i made it

[golden nova]

are you the host or you're doing that on a server, perhaps it's some broken/missing game file from server side

[charred sierra]

thought it could be

fixed server side

was missing ARCE2 files

updated mods on client side

because i think that might have caused it

re-exported

reuploaded

seeing if its fixed

mission success

im cracked

[uncut trellis]

cracked as in pirated game?

[ocean cosmos]

its young people slang goat

if im cracked at fortnite im very good at it

[umbral narwhal]

Normal error on a dedicated server. It's a red herring, ignore it.

[tidal juniper]

Not sure if yall support mods but if you do what do i do when this shows up when trying to import a preset?

[proud trellis]

Just factory reset pc

and reinstaleld arma

[steady hawk]

Disable OneDrive

[warm crypt]

Hello Together, just tried to set up a dedicated server with some Mods and it keeps hitting me with "SteamAPI initialization failed" and i'm quite close to lose mind. Anyone got some tips?

[proud trellis]

Dont have it enabled

dont even have an account for one drive

[steady hawk]

Are you sure?

That is a FAQ and most are solved by disable OneDrive

[proud trellis]

Yeah, I mean some of my mods are still installing but I doubt that has anything to do with it

[pine kite]

Where do you find that error message? Screenshot? As this does appear at the beginning of pretty much any RPT log file of a dedicated server. False positive. What other symptoms are you experiencing that makes you think it relates to Steam API communication.

[pine kite]

If you did a factory reset then OneDrive is active. Microsoft pretty much forces it down your throat to log into it.

[proud trellis]

But I haven't logged into it tho

Will it still be active

[pine kite]

That doesn't mean it isn't active.

[proud trellis]

Alright then ill go onto it at and try and sort that out

[warm crypt]

Only thing making me think that is that I'm unable to reach the Server. Steam says "Server does not respond" whilst the hosting Service says "Server Online"

[pine kite]

Well, first of. Start with no mods at all, and use the admin login to start a basic Arma 3 mp scenario that is already built in and doesn't need anything. Less complexity in the begining is best.

Second, those mods that are listed in -servermod= need to be in -mod=. As both the server and client need them to load. servermod= is only for mods that need to run on the server.

[warm crypt]

Yeah, tried those two already, forgot to add them back to -mod, without any mods server runs just fine

[pine kite]

And if Steam says "Server does not respond" then you probably don't have your UPnP/Portforwarding working if the server is running at your home. If it is hosted in a datacenter and rented then you need to contact the hosting party.

[fluid thorn]

Hey so

i had the game downloaded last night, I wake up and its not downloaded

I check my drive and still has arma on it

and I cant use it

You can't use what? The drive?

the game

the luncher

its want to redownload the game

More of a Steam issue and quick Google suggests this: https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/527273452875809785/

Also have you restarted Steam?

[silver stream]

I'm getting A3 running again after several years, new computer etc. I've just reinstalled from Steam, have problem: Infantry movement, when I press Space bar, my character hits the ground and jumps backwards, and there is no way I can clear it! I have even wiped ALL key commands to total blank and it still happens

like the space bar is hard coded

[golden nova]

Mods?

[silver stream]

it happens in VR training

or in first shooting training

i'm going to try radical wipe of arma folder in Documents

[golden nova]

I'm asking if you are playing with mods or just vanilla game

[silver stream]

ah yes I just noticed I had some old mods loaded, will disable them

try to get to utter naked vanilla

loading up -- i already suspect you are right XD

you were right it must have been some old mod!

ok here we go another test

it was probably "enhanced movement" mod or "improved melee system" mod

yes definitely fixed, probably best to wipe all configs etc. and rebuild, thanks for your instant help

i'll be back later with more moaning XD

[junior olive]

guys how do i bring this edit layout while playing?

[steady hawk]

What edit layout? Do you mean Zeus interface?

[junior olive]

oh yeah this one , i thought it exist in default but i just decided to ask chatGPT randomly and he told me its called zeus interface master module

@steady hawk im not sure if hes right , can i find it in steam workshop?

[steady hawk]

Why you ask ChatGPT whatsoever 🤔

The name Zeus is correct. The answer is depends on the question/situation

[junior olive]

Cause I didn't know if im gonna get an answer so I thought why not , but didn't expect to get an answer from it so I was impressed, anyways I have downloaded an addon called zeus enhanced from the workshop im assuming that's the correct one

[steady hawk]

Well, the question you want to answer is remain unanswered

[junior olive]

I think zeus enhanced would do it only if it was working.. I installed it and loaded it when i create a scenario and play it and press y nothing happens, I have CBA_A3 installed

Im not sure if I did something wrong

[steady hawk]

Zeus Enhanced is not Zeus. Zeus Enhanced enhances Zeus, and you need to enable Zeus in Editor

In order to enable, place Game Master module

[junior olive]

Oh ok now it's working, thank u so much

[pine kite]

No indeed, you got only 500-ish megabyte of the 32-ish gigabyte. More patience in downloaded is needed.

[pine kite]

Zeus is built in to the game. Custom scenarios need a bit of work with a module synched to a player to get you to use it in them. There is a Zeus showcase in the singleplayer menu. And Simple Single Player Cheat Menu allows you to enable it if the scenario wasn't prepared for it. Zeus Enhanced mod just enhances the usability. It does not stand on it's own.

[errant gulch]

I am in Editor in SOG Prieri Fire, in Cam Lao Nam. When in camera view I am getting 47 fps, but when I open the map view, it drops to 2fps... Any idea whats up?

[toxic mist]

I've been messing around in the editor, testing out ai jets. I've got one in my squad, set to target a tank I've spawned. I can go into it's first person perspective and I can see that it's locked onto the tank with the boxes around it, but it never fires. When I have GBUs on it, nothing happens. When I take off the gbus it never attempts to use it's main guns. is there something I could be missing that is stopping them from firing?

[void fjord]

Hey, I've been having trouble with Arma 3 saves lately.
Usually after you play a scenario from the workshop and save during it you get the "Resume" button when trying to resume playing it. But after I exit the scenario my save disappears. During the scenario I can save and load freely but as soon as I exit it the save disappears completely. I've already reinstalled the game on a different drive and switched profiles but it's still not working.

[uncut trellis]

do you have onedrive enabled? it often messes up stuff like that when it cant correctly sync the folders

[void fjord]

No, I don't use onedrive so sadly that's not the problem :/

[umbral narwhal]

It doesn't seem to matter whether you use it.

[void fjord]

I just meant with that, that I don't even have it installed

[void fjord]

As you can see the save-file still exists but ingame it doesn't give me the option to resume the scenario

[golden nova]

you're missing the "continue" something file, usually a symptom of Arma 3 exiting scenario in an unnatural way, most often it's because of Alt F4

backup your most recent Arma3Save file from that list and copypaste it changing name to continue.Arma3Save @void fjord, should bring back the "Resume" button

not sure if there is any way to troubleshoot this other than making sure you do not alt-tab/click/do anything when you're exiting mission (and game), possibly might be caused by some mods

[void fjord]

Thank you very much I'll look into my mods list that I use while running scenarios 🙏

[errant gulch]

Question, I am running 9ACG CWF mod. In Eden factions from that mod show up, in Zeus it doesnt. HOWEVER if you place a single unit from one of the factions in Eden, than the ENTIRE faction in Zeus now shows up. Anyone got ideas why that could be the case?

[void fjord]

Did you double-click the Zeus Gamemaster module in Eden and set it to "unofficial mods" too?

[errant gulch]

Yup

[tidal juniper]

what do i do when my friends server isnt showing up? Hosting through hamachi and all my other friends can join the server it just isnt showing up for me

[umbral narwhal]

You'd be better off asking on a Hamachi discord/forum. Arma will just broadcast on all adapters.

[errant gulch]

I use a composition when in editor, it places me with all modules I need including game master which is set to unofficial as well

[verbal iris]

Is anyone familiar with missions having a timeout counter as soon as you load in the server? And when I pick a role, it acts as if its going to spawn you in, but dumps you right back to the role selection page. It worked fine earlier today, switched missions for an op, then switched back and had this issue

[nimble oracle]

What faction in particular are you having trouble with?

[void fjord]

he said 9acg cwf so probably all cold war factions from that mod

[nimble oracle]

Well I made it, there's a lot of factions in there. None of which should be exhibiting that issue.

[fluid seal]

got a mission file for my server and whenever I load I just load continuously anyone know why? last time I tried I loaded for 20 minutes I got a mission file in there and I can hear gamesound

So out of nowhere whenever I try launching my game it says it's damaged and can't detect the game and to reinstall. Reinstalling does nothing. I have a few friends with similar issues who haven't been able to figure it out either. Help?

Steam might be not downloading all files or something gets corrupted on the way because of your internet connection, OS or anything else.

[ocean geyser]

Yup, I have

[golden nova]

can you post the exact error you're getting upon game launch

[errant gulch]

All factions that have [year dates from 1950s to highest it goes] in front of their names. Also US Army (CWR) also doesnt show up in zeus, but it does show up in Groups (f2) in zeus. They all show up in Eden, but not in Zeus. UNLESS I place a soldier from for example [1950s] Soviet Army faction in Eden, than entire faction shows up in Zeus.
Could be mod conflict, could be something else. Ideas?

[nimble oracle]

Ah you must be doing something wrong, all of the factions are scoped for zeus. Make sure you have your zeus module set to "all addons including unofficial"

Make sure you have the proper dependencies loaded as well, including SOGPF.

[errant gulch]

I have SOG. Ye I figured they are, because otherwise Zeus would just give (insufficient resources) error if they werent. Thats why I find it so weird. Because clearly Arma recignises that factions work fine, but not showing them up unless a unit is placed.

[glass saddle]

why is it that when I load any mod (literally any) to my current mod list loadout, does it say fail to start game or battleeye (can confirm battleeye works btw). even taking away a mod from the current list (which works fine btw) results in this error problem. Any mod full stop.

Any suggestions please? I'm not adept with arma 3 problems so please don't crucify me

I'm just here like

[umbral narwhal]

What if you hit "unload all mods" and then start the game?

[glass saddle]

it's fine

I have DLC as well

western sahara and global mob with the current mod list

even newly released mods cause an issue. I believe I have already check file integrity via steam

[umbral narwhal]

This is gonna be some epic 90-mod list, isn't it

[glass saddle]

no

448

but for the list of 448 that work fine (genuinely), for any one to be taken away shouldn't mean the rest suddenly break, or one or 2, even completely basic mods

literally could be a plane for example

and the problem occurs

[umbral narwhal]

holy shit

[glass saddle]

throughout I've just loaded mods that I want, if they didn't work, I didn't keep, if they did, I just kept them on the list

[umbral narwhal]

Gonna guess at that point you've found some sort of limitation

[glass saddle]

was there a big update recently at all, I was able to add and remove just fine until maybe 2 months ago?
