Recently I’ve encountered a problem with RHS USAF forces where the Ai in tanks will refuse to fire, resulting in this error popping up on screen: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2018220162791138687/E65F7A691FCA54F2E35AF9846CC9D4E0056743BA/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

Other modded factions work fine, and I’ve already uninstalled and reinstalled RHS as well as validated all files.
If you can generate it with no other mods installed and on the stable branch of Arma then report it on the RHS bugtracker.
Hi. So I’ve signed my mod with a new private key (signed every .pbo, bisign files are in the addons folder with the .pbos)
I’ve placed the .bikey in the mods keys folder, but someone in my community cannot get it to run on their server.
It keeps saying “…name.pbo is not signed by a key accepted by this server…”
I believe it’s not an issue on my end, is it?
They probably need to copy the .bikey to the server's keys folder.
It's not automatic for some reason.
Some hosts have a script for it, some don't.
Obviously if they're the only person trying to run it on a DS there's a good chance that you screwed up the signing instead though :P
you may have manually installed wrong version somewhere in your files and it overwrites the proper version
it does not remove extra files
just fixes original ones
could be its not there then but then you could have wrong version bunlded up in some crappy mod pack
not really unless some have CBA packed into them
or you just have wrong version from workshop
well you can turn them off
and start them in small batches
to see if it breaks at some point
also you could have launcher set with some custom launch parameters that run mods from somewhere else
best to check
for some reason many people have stuff there "without their knowledge"
One way to check
Or... do you @uncut trellis think configSourceModList and check CfgPatches would do it?
never used that so dont know.
Maybie worth a try
- Open up Debug Console in Eden Editor or somewhere
-
configSourceModList (configfile >> "CfgPatches" >> "cba_main_a3")```Run this code
3. Paste the result
Try it out, no clue this would work
This “solution” requires your all of your Mods, if the concern exists on your end
What reinstall
Uninstall and unload are different
Oh why
That doesn't make any sense
unsubbing is not required
Unloaded Mods don't do anything with the game, no need to uninstall after all...
just turning them off in the launcher makes them not load
ediots 
has nobody recommended steamverify yet 
Tools > Debug Console
I doubt verify would fix when every Mods are doing their things finely
What is not opening
Sounds like you've enabled fishy Mod
Put a player unit, and put sqf hint str (configSourceModList (configfile >> "CfgPatches" >> "cba_main_a3")) in the unit's Init and preview the mission
I mean you've already got something bad all the time?
Preview the mission I said
Yes
Thats not what I need
I'm not asking you to show the screen, but the hint (top-right of the gameplay screen)
Not that "outdated" one but the hint screen
No
Ingame screen I said
dont put anything there. put down a single unit and hit play
esc menu has the debug console in live game
§ (tilde) key also brings it up in editor
when you go in game and hit ESC
what do you see
no
in eden
preview the game
hit esc
preview is at the bottom right
hit that first to go in game
then when in game hit esc
then you will need to go to control settings to find what opens your console in editor
Eden Editor's Console or any other shortcuts are not configurable
Heyo, i need help with a weird issue. i'm making a mission and after a few secs/mins the game is crashing or my pc restarts.
got mods?
None. HG misinformed you
you can check rpt log if it tells anything
if not then youll need to turn off mods, try again
press buttons to figure out where your console key is
yeah its mods, not sure which one, but loaded a new mod pack that has more mods and somehow it works
typically its the one on left side of 1
Id suppose its possible your mods break the game pretty badly
whats that?
for sure
any mod can break the game
well I suppose you got to start from disabling all mods
then start just CBA and see what happens
if that works add modes until it breaks
any mod can break the game
yes
if done wrong
So much effort to do unneeded stuff and then end up in a screen blocking error message..
Just run
(configSourceModList (configfile >> "CfgPatches" >> "cba_main_a3"))
and press execute, then you can just copy-paste the result..
he cant open console
Its on the top, in the tools menu
Easiest way is to just
!rpt
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.
instead of spending .... an hour guessing around and trying to explain how to run a script in a overcomplicated way
If debug console doesn't open, you know something is seriously F'ed, and just trying to find out what the mod folder name of his CBA is probably won't get you far
@Pain of Donbass2- Debaltseve
delete that mod
Looks like it contains ripped ifa3 and CUP content in it, along with couple parts from some terrains.. ew
@@Azov revamped mod
You'll also want to remove that
stolen stuff from Call of Duty and Battlefield games
mixed with other stolen and modified mods
@RU SSO
A copy of the last one? The same ripped Battlefield/Call of Duty stuff.
And I mean... the exact same
loading the same stuff twice
its still crashing if i unload some mods.
thats the last I could find.
The rest is either good, or.. sus but I cannot tell if actually bad
scroll up to the !rpt post.
In that folder you will find .mdmp files for your crash, or named "minidump"
If you send me these I can check on monday why its crashing (so like.. 30 hours from now)
116mb? wow, they are usually around 30 🤔 Interesting
I have three types of crashes: game cash with 0xC0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION, PC freeze and PC automatic reboot.
Freeze & reboot aren't supposed to happen regardless of what Arma does. Likely to be a hardware problem.
6 hours ago everything was working fine and other games works too.
Arma was also the same 6 hours ago :P
Anybody getting "BattlEye: Note that file blocks can be ignored if they don't cause problems with the game." It says I do not have enough memory... and is blocking arma3_x64.exe now. Why?
Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.
Not enough ram memory? Too many other applications consuming that in the background?
I have 32GB of RAM. I figured it out... for some reason there is another patch that is required I think. ARMA 3 is patching again... so let us see...
I think it is because I had PROFILE BRANCH selected... I switched back to normal branch and it worked...
Weird... I switched BACK to PROFILE, updated, and now it works. It must have been some mixed up files between NORMAL and PROFILE triggering BattleEye...
Hello, for some reason everytime I tab out of Arma 3 in the editor, my arma goes pitch black. I am currently on "Fullscreen Windowded" (which allegedly fixed the crashing issue).
I dont know what's up with this.
Note: it happens only in the editor
My friend has a issue, when he loads the html I gave him it just states, "no mods found" so bascially he can't subscribe to them
Could be (one of) the mod is removed from Steam.
Shouldn't be the case because it's mostly just the most subscribed mods like RHS
And it worked for my other friends who didn't have the mods downloaded before hand
I can't seem to get my mic to work, It's set up through steam and the push-to-talk keybinds are the same
I would wager Arma 3 uses Window's Default Input device not Steam's.
Hi im trying to setup an arma 3 server with mods and i have everything setup and working following the guide on the community bohemia wiki but when i want to add mods on the target line for the server i hit a limit so cant get all the mods, is there another way i can tell it to load the mods
What limit do you hit?
i just cant type any more characters its just a windows limit i assume
it told me to make a shortcut of the server then put some settings in there for when it launches but there is not enough room to fit all the mods
Oh you aren't using a bat file or TADST
i was just following what the guide said so no but yea i should probs use a bat file but idk how to set that up
create new txt file
rename it to be a bat files instead
edit in notepad, write in path to your arma exe and launch parameters and run it
shouldnt it be the path to the server exe?
whichever exe you want to start
👍
Popularity does not rule over legality. I don't know what mod you refer to. 'Like RHS' says nothing to me.
It's pretty much just RHS Mods, and if you play arma 3 you know what the RHS mods are, RHSUSAF etc.
Should be obvious enough what I mean
I know RHS, but you didn't say it was RHS, you said it was RHS-like.
could be your friend needs to verify steam install
There are many mods which are in the "most subscribed" category just like RHS
!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.
Probably poorly worded
Thanks
I will let him know that
For example, what if you send us that html list of mods.
or mods can also be verified through the launchers mod lists (. . .) menu - repair
also best to tell your friend to use the launchers server browser to join server so it can set up mods for him
manually one might miss some
Yeah we tried but for some reason it didn't appear for him but I will try that with him tomorrow
Appreciate your help
Some Mods remove them for whatever reason
some mods even remove debug console/config viewer 😱
some mods are made very poorly
or they try to hide stuff
or maybe hide how poorly they are made 
wish there was a block list for mods so i never had to see them again
You can simply use third party viewer
turn off your mods so you can use the animation viewer to look them up
then put them back up if you really want to use the kind of mods that hinder your gaming
Hello , I have been having a problem but i dont know if its my PC or Arma 3 , So whenever i load into arma Whit or whitout mods , the game will randomly freeze my screen , it sometimes gives me a bluescreen, i have been trying to fix it by turning off motion and radial blur beceause i thought the problem was from here , but it didn't look like it so i turn down a bunch of graphics but it doesnt look like it can be fixed , If you have a fix awnser ASAP.
Wierd thing is that i used to play the game and it never did that so :/
How long does it last before freeze/BSOD?
How long before it freezes.
Like is this immediately on startup or after some random time?
After some time
I never had this problem before but my PC has been pretty slow lately so i dont know if its Arma my PC
It's probably your PC.
Okay , Thank you i just wanted to be sure
but my PC freezes Rarely
So i dont really know
A stable PC never freezes.
if it was game issue, we all would have freezes and BSODs. 😛
My old haswell has gone about a decade without a freeze or BSOD.
Thanks for the help i appreciate it
In general a BSOD is windows crashing, and a freeze is something dying so badly that Windows can't even generate a BSOD.
While it's possible for applications to crash windows, they usually just crash themselves.
when playing Arma run some software to watch your hardware usage and temperatures
And modern windows is normally pretty stable if the hardware is.
Sometimes it's the hardware getting old. I had random system crashes without any blue screen (system just restarted)
Gave my CPU a bit more Voltage (undervolted for years) and clocked my GPU a bit down (5%) and it stopped.
since your PC rarely crashes and Arma is a rare game, I would bet it's BSODing due to faulty CPU or PSU, doubt it could be caused by drivers or windows (unless you're on win11). Some time ago I had issues with Company of Heroes killing my PC after 30 minutes or so, every other game worked, eventually I figured out my power supply was dying and replacing it with a new one helped. Wild guess but better than nothing
If you only get BSODs or freezes and no Arma crashes then PSU becomes pretty likely. RAM or CPU unreliability typically gives application crashes as well.
Depending on the type of BSOD it can also be a drive problem.
Easy first check is are your fans getting blocked by dust. PSU fan, CPU fan, GPU fan.
(Don't use a vaccuum cleaner, it generates static electricity that could fry your hardware.)
Ouch
I was about to say
That me and my father complety Cleaned my pc
Whit a vacumme cleaner
but like
whit a tool to get rid of dust
and stuff
It's ok as long as you don't touch anything with the nozzle :P
Those nozzles tend to suck onto things when the air is flowing, so it will be tricky. Also, whenever I do work on internals, I keep a hand on the chassis to always discharge myself to the same potential as the case ground.
But that is getting offtopic now.
Does anyone know where this file is located? I read online that it's inside of Arma 3 Samples. However, after downloading that, this error message is still popping up.
Trying to play Ravage mod, but that mode crashes without this 😦
oh my gawd
that is soooo bad made XDDDD
Id say please dont even try
oh...?
this is very poorly set up mod
Well... bummer lol
and if its something ripped from crysis, even better to not support stolen stuff like that
Ravage probably is not the cause though
but some other mod you got
Are those assets straight copy-pasted from OG crysis?
dunno. The name there is suspicious
but you are the one who installs mods on your machine so you kinda should know what you put in there
@pine bronze I doubt this is from your Ravage is it?
This is the Crysis mod in question
yeeeh
I'm a sucker for anything Crysis related, and will simp hard for anyone who makes content related to it lol
I mean... EA threw that IP in the trashbin too... lol
we take that stuff rather serious here
Just curious, if you're not a fan of Ravage, are there similar zombie single player mods that you'd recommend in it's stead?
ravage is all gut, that crysis mod is what you want to axe
i removed that, and the dependencies for that one
Have you had time to look at it?
A friend is having this error after playing Arma 3 for a minute or two:
His PC is a i5-9400F, a Nvidia GT 740 with 4GB and 16GB of RAM.
He tried this:
- Install new Video Drivers
- Install old Video Drivers
- Install the last Video Driver that support the GT 740
- Reinstall Arma 3
- Play on a window
- Set graphics to minimum
- Verify Arma 3 files
- Reinstall DirectX End User Runtime
DX11 error : buffer Map failed : DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED
Can someone help please?
Try this https://www.partitionwizard.com/clone-disk/dxgi-error-device-removed.html I had this error not return after I did suggestion #3
Happens on all servers or just on a specific server?
wait i´ll try
i just tried my friends server and it did to me and my one more friend
it did to LAN server and dedicated what we tried
so only on specific server
Can be a problem with the server
And don't you know what it can be?
Hey! Just hosted an op and had an issue with Zeus, our Zeus got kicked out without pressing the button and then couldn't re-enter it. So he relogged and still couldn't open it - I logged in and even I couldn't access it.
Not too sure on what happened, anyone ever had this issue?
People are getting this error when joining my server. I made them delete the downloaded mission file, but it still didn't work
Was the mission uploaded to the server in it's entirety?
I have run into this when I uploaded a mission and didn't let it fully upload before starting the Server resulting in a partial write.
it was
as a matter of fact some people are already in it
but some people can't join
two Q
-
how can I get my plane/heli to fly without automatically correcting the height/angle? With a joystick I just keep it pushed or pulled but when using mouse I have to constantly move it, pick it up and move again because my desk doesn't have an infinite length. Been doing that for years but I think it's about time to change this lol
-
Lately every now and then I've been getting the error about user profile corrupted and that the game has to reset it/recreate it. Nothing bothering at all, all my settings are saved, it only rechecks every mod I have in my launcher. I wonder what's the issue since my game closes with no errors and I don't see any system notifications in event log. Is there any profile data limit above which Arma just has to revert it or whatever?
how can I get my plane/heli to fly without automatically correcting the height/angle?
What exactly you mean? Do we have such feature whenever we don't push/pull the (ingame) stick?
when I dive or pull up the nose of a jet or a heli, it will automatically try to level. It's annoying when you have to fly a long distance and you have to move your mouse up/down constantly or press W/S and jerk the vehicle up and down because it always tries to maintain the ~0 degrees
I think I have never experienced such feature than older Arma games. As you can see my Arma 3 can dive my Wipeout freely, the elevator tells you
the question sounds like "why can't the nose stay above/below the horizon without constant elevator input"
https://streamable.com/jyc7rr this may show my issue clearer
fast drag down is me moving my mouse, then heli is slowly leveling with no physical input
Oh, I think this is a proper feature, that the heli's speed stabilizes itself
aaand I have this in jets too. so I can't do anything about it because it just works ™️ ?
Aside from this issue. Starting the server as administrator is a very bad idea. If somehow the gameserver has a security vulnerability hackers may get control over the system. Always start the server/game with least amount of priveleges in the system
Sounds like autohover is activated.
It's not, video shows not
oh, didn't get to that part yet.
@golden nova Is this simple flight model or advanced?
Helicopters do kinda level on their own I have found but Jets normally don't however when focus is taken from the game it sometimes levels the jets automatically, like when the menu is brought up
Yeah that's what I wonder. Jets normally don't do such
simple, but happens on advanced too
-
Because a mouse only sends data when you move it. A joystick constantly sends the data. So it's not really "fixable". Unless there's some mouse driver tool that does it
-
could be related to some mod that changes the profile namespace
There was a mouse driver software that I used a while ago for adjusting mouse vertical/horizontal acceleration independent of each other
Maybe it can do what you want too. I'll check when I get home
in order of increasing complexity:
- AFM trim might work?
- script AFM autopilot with addTorque https://github.com/Project-Hatchet/H-60/blob/Main/addons/uh60_fd/functions/fnc_hdg.sqf
- use a virtual joystick mapped to mouse displacement
have you tried verifying arma 3 tools on steam?
I get this error when I attempt to launch a campaign mission in the sog dlc. I have tried validating files, restarting pc etc. Nothing has worked so far
Are you running any mods?
👍
arma running on wrong screen. editing forcedAdapterId=0; doen't work ?
A3 will always run on your default screen, no way to force 2nd one
can some one help me with bringing a building over to the zeus editor from the eden editor But when i saved it in custom compution tab it dosent show up in the zeus edditor
3CB factions, the Arma mod isnt showing up in my zeus menu
the mod is enabled and i dont see it
What's the mission, and is this localhost or DS+client?
in the editor just by myself
There's an option on the zeus module for what addons it includes.
You want all including unofficial
on the game master module or what do you mean
Yes
like this?
Ye
thx for the help, i looked around so long to find a solution
can some one help me
with an issue with bringing a building i made in eden editor I saved it in custom compstions into zues It dosent show up in customcomp in zeus
Does it contain objects from a Mod?
Do the same thing as that other fella just in case
Did that do it?
Double click the Game Master Module
in eden or zeus
In Eden
uhhhh id hate to ask but were in eden
k do i save the zeus thing with it
No
I have no clue, I suggest you watch a video on how to setup Zeus properly, following it perfectly should work result in it working, if not something else is to blame.
I have been playing with some friends for a few months. I just host through my computer and I have not had any issues. They have been able to find and connect through the friend page on the server browser. Starting just a few days ago, people can't find or connect to any servers I create. For information; The server has been set to internet, i have clicked the UPNP, i've verified my game through steam, i've disabled all mods and i've reset my router. Nothing has changed to my knowledge. Does anyone have a similar issue or solution? Thank you in advance!
is there a way i can turn on snapping for this mod?
- Snapping is not a vanilla feature
- If you mean Snapping for Eden and Zeus Mod, you can make your own compat Mod
- Or ask author(s)
@brave hawk 🦧 Where is it located the Profile thingy
Well, since we don't know what camera function...
How many are there?
Just the vanilla one
the game itself saves in a Screenshot directory
and there is no screenshot vanilla feature
Vanilla camera? Splendid Camera you mean?
Splendid camera I think then
Yes that one
And how you take a screenshot?
Ehmm the Ctrl+Number thing
That is not a screenshot command
oh
you have to press PrintScreen and you have to paste it in e.g Paint
press Backspace in order to hide the UI
Thank you haha
Or simply F12
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/screenshot there is, just not implemented as a button-press-action

. . . o o o O O O
Actually Splendid Camera has this:sqf case (_key == DIK_P): { if (_ctrl) then { screenshot format (["SplendidCamera\%1_['%2',%3,%4,%5,%6,%7,%8,%9,%10,%11].png",profilename] + _camParams); }; };
why doesn't it work then
@quaint jewel time estimate for a Splendid\™ Camera's Screenshot button using screenshot? :3
It does?
wait - so all it needs is a tooltip "press P to take a screenshot"?
No, Ctrl+P
How does this resolve own server not showing up to others, even though host has completed port forwarding?
... Nevermind, he just couldn't wait for his server to come out.
broken mod loaded or broken script used during mission
there is the same bug in vanilla i believe, idk how do it
Mh yes it crashed but can't actually see why.
I see where it crashed and why, but not how it got to there, maybe something is wrong with some model. I cannot see which model
"Speakers (2- USB Audio CODEC ) - Channels: 2, Freq: 48000"
Maybe that's related, there is some known problem with USB Audio on Windows 10
What bug? Just looks like someone frantically throwing grenades all over the place. Some got too close and caused a player get moved by shockwave. I only see features here.
Router update disabled UPNP or ISP moved you to CGNAT.
... and didn't bother to explain that to customers because technobable-deafness-assumption towards it's customers.
im trying to set up a server and it says theres keys missing. the keys are inside of the folder and i tried deleting the folder and remaking it but still same thing
screenshot the error.
we have all the mods installed clientside but still
Yes, but either the server does not have the key files of those mods (@ivorywhatever and @blastcoresomething) in it's keys folder, or you were not supposed to be loading them anyway.
So it says: remove those mods(clientside), or install the keys (on the server)
is it possible to get 100% utilizing of cpu and gpu?
When you have a single core processor 😆
rtx 3060 i5 12400f 32gb ram 1440p on ultra on koth 40-50 fps
anyone able to help me reduce fog? my buddys view distance and object distance is lower than mine but he can see an island 2km away clear as day and mines complete grey fog after like 800m. exact sa,e graphics settings
we installed the keys and still nothing happened still the same error message
it shows it for every mod if it isnt the ivory and blastcore its two different ones
start 4 instances of Arma
are you using CH View Distance or any mods altering the graphics settings?
Running a linux dedicated server for custom arma missions.
Any mission either manually installed or played directly from base arma files, have most of their ai frozen in position.
The ai will react the players, turning and shooting, however are unable to move from their spawn position.
These scenarios work just fine on the eden editor or from the host server menu on the arma server browser.
Attempted with and without mods.
does it happen with a simple mission like a single AI unit + single player, no mods, no scripts?
I've got a problem with gamepad input in that joystick's input on positive scales does not reach 100 which leads to vehicle turret not going at full speed in those directions. Is that my gamepad problem or game's?
Everything worked fine until we edited the script, but since everything works fine in Eden we assumed it should also work in the dedicated server.
We think it's because we are editing is windows and the dedicated server is in lenux so the codes are not reading properly
anyone know how to fix?
you dont have matching mods or some of them broke 
there isnt really much else to it
so what should i do fact reset the server?
do i need to delete the bikey from the actual addon folder?
How do I fix this?
Does this whenever trying to open a PBO
Well
A specific PBO
: (
why do you want/think you need to open it
cause i have no idea what the mod is
and thought being able to open it up and read the config it would help
is what it is
just won’t use it
👍 probably better
Anyone ever experience a bug where the game loads and runs properly for the whole of 10 seconds then people start T-posing halfway in the ground and all the vehicle models start flashing and drives your FPS to 0?
usually indicates you run out of GPU video memory
could mean your GPU has some issue
Yeah idk it's a RTX 2060 that tends to run better than most of my mate's PC but it coughed up on a mission we were trying play earlier
could be driver issue
tried setting graphics and stuff but it didn't do any better
so..... geforce experience is where I get those updated right?
Have you lowered your video settings?
yeah bumped them down but still same issue
Well lowering your video settings is always no good if you have good enough GPUs. How old is your GPU?
about 1 year old so that kinda why I didn't believe it would be a hardware problem
Does it do its job on other games?
yup
our guys tend to run asset heavy missions that pushes everyone's rigs down to 20FPS sometimes but mine tends to run quite a bit better so it's kinda weird that I would be having a hardware problem before their's
idk could just be the mission file coz I had the same happening before mid-op but just pushed through the last 15 min of it and never happened again
but now it happens the first 30 seconds I load in so idk
have you updated your drivers recently?
could also mean you got to roll back a version if something broke in them
or some special enhancement isnt working right in arma and needs to be turned off
yeah idk, apparently my drivers were at version 516 and now updated to 537 so eh hopefully it works next week
Any ideas why my game is lagging in the title and options screen? And in the editor. I have a R9-7900x, so I wouldn’t think I soils have these issues.
I have 32Gb of ram as well, and it isn’t remotely all used.
Game also hitches for arcing at a time when I’m in game.
Do you have lot of mods?
Sounds like it may struggle loading all data, do you have it installed on a HDD? Or maybe on an external USB drive?
Goodmorning, i installed Arma 3 last night, and try to start a game. It wont start and give me error's
The cloud provide not started and Exit code 0x0000DEAD-
Anyone has any idea what is wrong, and what i can do about it ?
It is very common and one way to fix is disable OneDrive
done, but still not working.
ive reinstalled arma, deleted onedrive.. error still remains... anyone can help me ?
I've got three issues hopefully someone here can solve, with the first picture I would like to know what caused it and how I can get rid of it.
With the second picture, my Zeus likes to freeze randomly while in it. For further context on the second pic, the little NATO icon in the top right will pop up and then my Zeus camera teleports to a nearby area and just freezes and I can't do anything until I go out of Zeus. This also stemmed another problem where respawning is super delayed and sometimes wont work, along with that when I do die I am just staring at a loading screen and load back in where I "died".
With the third picture, what I would like to know is how/why this appeared on my screen and how to get rid of/stop it from coming on.
Please and thanks for the help
first screenshot is broken mod,second screenshot is broken mod
3rd idk, doesn't look like GPU artifacts so possibly caused by a broken mod too.
Third seems to be the block effect whenever like you open/close Arsenal etc
Well, if so third is also broken Mod
Good to know, is there a way to find out which mods specifically is causing this? And if so do I just repair the mod, or do I just stop using it all together?
Check the pinned
Exactly none. I’ll check to see if I put it on a hard drive.
Putting it on an ssd seams to mostly fix it. Weird that it is that different, especially in the menu.

how do i make these true

i put keys in and everything
They're never true because it's not DLC.
I don't have the sound of shooting when I shoot. With or without mods. Verified but nothing changed
Alright then how do I get the mods working? The keys and all that are working but I still get a error about keys not being in or not accepted
anyone know what causes this?
You're loading a mod that adds compatibility with RHS for one of your other mods (HLC? AWC? no idea), but you're not loading RHS.
So either don't load that compat mod or load RHS.
brother I have no idea what either HLC or AWC is and I am loading RHSUSAF in 😭
HLC is NIArms iirc
rhs_c_weapons is AFRF, not USAF.
i dont have afrf though
oh
so thats whats wrong
I got rid of the NIArms RHS compat mod and theres no error message now
it could be a all-in-one RHS compat and these require all RHS mods to work with no notifications
do u think ill be fine without the compat?
depends on your case, dunno what it tweaks exactly
if it's just "make rhs attachhments work with niarms" and the other way then you don't need it
if it tweaks niarms damage values to fit the insane armor levels of RHS then it could be useful
I got a problem where everytime I download a mod it corrupts. I tried to clear download cache but I still get the same problem and repairing does not seem to help. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?
RHS troops have different armor from regular vanilla?
as in can they take more damage without dying?
most vests yes
that does sound pretty useful then
if you use ace then they are even stronger.
but honestly
whatever
as long as theyre not gods who can tank 50 bullets then its fine
seems like i underestimated them
this dude i just spawned in tanked 5 mags
and hes still standing
ill just
get rid of RHS
why is this not working the keys are in, the mods are loaded but still this error message
tried deleting local keys, tried loading no mods, nothing
if it isnt ivory its another one that pops up
Ok, load just CBA and see what it says.
it says i cant join because mod .pbos arent found
even though the mods are disabled
screenshot the error. I don't want your interpretation.
Session Lost - File "addons/ace_respawn.pbo" not found.
even though no mod except @cba is enabled
Are you sure you have never moved a PBO some folder to some folder else?
no the only thing i did was move the files client side into the folder and put the keys in the key folder
check what's in @cba on the server. I'd ask for the RPT but that's probably pointless for a Linux-based server.
I thing what you need is @CBA_A3, though. @cba doesn't sound fine?
Server hosts sometimes do translations.
What exactly is @cba?
it said to "name all files with a @ make sure not to have any special characters and all lower case"
according to the server how to page
this is the cba file
Inside addons.
^
i did everything to the T from this website: https://shockbyte.com/billing/knowledgebase/889/How-to-Install-Workshop-Mods-on-your-ARMA-3-Server.html
Shockbyte
The Shockbyte Knowledgebase contains hundreds of tutorials for managing your game servers for Minecraft, Hytale, ARK, Rust and more.
Not even sure the 3 in the instructions is good enough to follow
Uppercase shouldn't do any with it. Whitespace may do, but an underscore _ will do
Seems fine
so wtf is happening to get this error
ive been going at this for like 3 days
Connecting to the wrong server maybe? :P
im directly connecting
either that or the console's lagged and not loading the correct mod list.
RPT would tell but you won't have that.
so what should i do like force factory reset this?
is something broken with the server internally?
Seems like a reasonable option given that you've been on this for days.
Reset the whole thing, add mods in a sensible order, keep testing.
ok its fact reset. I just drag the files from my client side to the server then enter each file to grab the key and put it into the actual servers key file correct or is this shockbyte just lying about this
other then the specifics, yes
ok thank you
It's linux so you need to lowercase every PBO. I don't know if they do that for you.
Oh good to know
in every file?
or just the addons
please tell me theres a way to auto that
If you have command line, sure
Otherwise it's down to your server provider, like everything else.
Ace and CBA are already lowercase
What that message is saying is that the server has loaded ace_respawn.pbo, but the user that's joining did not
No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgPatches/Teutch.units'.
How can i exactly hunt down the mod thats causing the problem?
look for something named "Teutch"
found it in !workshop
thanks dedmen as always
I downloaded a compositions and interiors mod, but I since deleted it but all the compositions are still there, how do I manually delete them?
Delete what and how?
Question regarding mods (workshop items)-
I am installing Arma 3 on a temporary PC. This PC has disk space for the base game (and DLCs), but not the 100+ mods I am subscribed to. Because Steam wants to download everything at once, I am unable to even install the base game.
Obviously I could unsubscribe from all the workshop items. There's even a specific link for this on the Workshop page. But I am not going to keep track of all the mods. And I am not spending hours copy pasting workshop links from my collection, and later re-subscribing individually; that's insanity.
So is there a way to tell Steam to only download and install the game, without workshop files?
Would you know where to find the cause of a crash?
?
my friends game is crashing and we cant seem to find out why
How is related with compositions thing you've mentioned earlier?
?
So unrelated question?
Okay, I was confused since you haven't said it is solved and pinged me for no reason
yes sorry
just need to solve this crash im so confused
he imported my mod pack, gets in and crashes shortly after loading in
Then unload it?
Since we have zero info than that, it is very hard to say
send crash report
How, when, what error, what Mods you have, SP/MP, which mission?
where to find

how?
Ask Google to ask Microsoft to ask .... they should know about Windows.
no but if you make a private steam collection of what you have subbed now, you can easile get them subscribed back before you boot up your main computer again
you can deny steam file permissions to the workshop folder for the game.
But that's bit advanced.
And you'll constantly have "Arma 3 - Steam disk error" listed in downloads page of steam.
Thank you for the reply. Do you know if you can "export" private steam collections to a file?
dont think so, the workshop collection is just a worksop internal mod list
Thank you. I don't need to load any mods at the moment, so this might work. Know a link that explains/demos your solution?
Ok. But if I understand right, you can save your subscribed list of workshop items to this collection, unsubscribe to all, then later (re)subscribe to this collection?
No link. General windows knowledge.
you basically want to go to Steam\steamapps\workshop\downloads create 107410 directory and deny your own user any permissions to the directory.
Thanks
for a linux server does all of the mods .pbos need to be lowercase?
Game crashes right after I get this message and I don't know how to fix it
some mod you got is poorly made
find and remove said mod
how would I find the poorly made mod?
alright

Can anyone tell me why AI skill in zeus keeps resetting itself back to 50%? I'm using Ace and Vcom AI
You mean for AIs that you've already spawned?
I don't know for sure, but I have heard it being recommended. And knowing Linux is case sensitive about filenames, probably.
Because of vcom ai
does any1 know why arma 3 downloads on steam continues to download when there is nothing to download? when i try to stop it, it continues to force it download. when i tab out of the game, sometimes i can make it stop and it says its completed. everytime i load arma it does this.
looked on web and other sources. didnt seem to find anything.
are you subscribed to any compositions? If so, tried unsubscribing from them?
sometimes Steam has a stroke when it has to verify them and cause the infinite or constant download of physically nothing
ill give it a shot
hey guys, quick question has anyone here had any issue with AI performance (overall movement, accuracy, responsiveness and such) when using Headless Client? Tried 2 sessions on the same mission one with AI on the server and one with AI on the HC and there was a better performance when the AI was located on the server
we're using LAMBS btw
if running mods then try without them
@fallow lark Better performance of what?
Overall AI accuracy, reaction time and such even with the same skill values
AI just feels more dumb on HC in general just wanted to know if this was a common thing or if anyone else had issues with it before
did you load LAMBS for headless? If AI is transferred to HC and it's not running lambs then the AI won't work with lambs either iirc
if youre using FASTER for setting up servers there is a column for HC mods
Both HC and Server are running lambs, AI is being spawned on HC directly
did you run any benchmark or monitor for HC? maybe it just couldn't keep up with that many units compared to server
also what HC did you use exactly, werthles, zulu, acex?
Both are running at 30~44fps on avg, as for HC we dont use any of that just regular HC module/slot and then our mission framework handles AI depending on if we picked Server or HC on the mission parameters
There is an issue where the Fired EH and related engine stuff isn't triggered unless the headless client object is somewhere near.
that can make AIs react a bit dumber than usual.
There's obviously some extra latency in bouncing everything from HC->server->client too.
Quite possible that there's something else badly wrong with either vanilla or lambs AIs on HCs and no-one noticed though. AI issues are hard to pick up, especially when they're black-boxed.
Yeah true, anyway thanks for the input ill keep looking into it
Do you have any source for this issue?
Nah, tested it myself a while back.
Alright thanks
There are notes on the event handler page but it's not clear that the HC object counts as the camera location. Servers trigger the event handlers everywhere.
having this issue even though the pbo file is in my mp missions
Did you, uh read what it says?
So the error is asking if you have put TADST in your ArmA folder
i was following a video guide and it told me to put it in a seprate file as the arma server local files

Do you happen to notice any differences with 1:13 and what you currently have?
TADST needs to be put into the same folder as the Game
or in this videos case the folder with the Arma 3 Server
put it into the server local files and get the same error
Interesting
im calling it quits becasue i have been at this for atleast 5 hours between today and yesterday just trying to get around wastlands antihack so me and my friends can mess around on a private server
if you know anything similar to wasteland ie. random missions that you can do with a time limit that would be great
well there is Dynamic Recon Ops, it's pretty good the few times I played it
hey, i updated my gpu drivers (rtx 3060) and now when i try boot up arma i get this error msg and the game crashes :d3d error dxgi error device removed. any ideas? (edited: i have alos rolled back my drivers)
Roll back the drivers to previous version perhaps
already done that
Figured it out it was the mod ace casuing the game to crash because as soon as I disabled it the game opened without a issue only bad thing is its a mod required to play in the unit I'm in
Have you tried repairing it?
yes
That is no proof that it is in the root of the Arma folder. No path to that place if visible. Screenshot with a topside border a little further up to get the path in view.
Hallo! I'm having some trouble with my arma 3 server. I'm using FASTER on windows 10. I don't have access to my router as I'm in a dorm style living situation. However, I found a workaround. There is a service called Playit.gg that I have used for over a year now. I've made Minecraft servers and Satisfactory servers. I was looking to expand and make an Arma 3 server. The service doesn't directly support Arma 3 (same as Satisfactory) but I was able to make other servers that arent directly supported work in the past. In short, on the website I have the Tunnel Type set to TCP+UDP and the port is set to 2302. However, the playit program changes the port over to 3650. With my Satisfactory server all I had to do was change the original port to the one the program gave me. Making it a 1:1. I figured I would have to do the same for Arma and it sort of worked. I'm able to connect to the server via direct connect however that seems to actually just be LAN. So no one else is able to join it except for me. I have the port in FASTER set to 3650 as well. Attached are pictures as to what the playit website looks like. If anyone is able to help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
So if others direct connect, they just get a empty server list?
Your server will not be findable via server list because the server announces your home address which will be unreachable.
But Direct Connect should be possible
Yeah. I had a friend try see if the server would show up in the list. I'm not sure if he used direct connect though. I just asked so I'll have to wait for a response. However whenever I use direct connect it does in fact show up.
But if I understand correctly you're saying if he uses direct connect he should be able to join?
When connecting people would use the shareable ip address which is along-lost.at.ply.gg
only one way to find out, isn't it?
true
Okay yeah they just have to do direct connect.
Thank you sorry for the bother.
i've never had any of my servers appear in server list, always had to direct connect
You need the port+1 forwarded to get server list support.
Yes, there are a bunch of ports in sequence that receive from the internet to the server:
2302 (default Arma 3 Game port) + (VON is now part of main gameport due to NAT issues)
2303 (STEAM query, +1)
2304 (Steam port, +2)
2305 (VON port, +3 - not used atm. but allocated)
2306 (BattlEye traffic, +4)```https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Dedicated_Server#Port_Forwarding

Anyone know why I cant play any server
every time i try to play a server it kicks me after a few seconds maybe aminute and says client isnt responding
it crashed a few mins before this issue happened but didnt think any thing of it but now its kicking me out of servers whenever i join the,
Do i need to do this too?
it did crash though

before then after the crash it kicks me
i went into the RPT and the last one says rating log
but ill try that
still didnt work
same thing
said 1 file was currupt but still kicks me
trying to see if a mod is out of date
and checking my server if its out of date too but my friend is on playing rn without any issues so doubt its server side
If a file was corrupt. It needs fixing. The bot response explains how to do it. Both for the game itself, and for any mods. If you are kicked and not your friend, then the issue is on your system. But I have not seen any screenshot or exact error message of that kick. Can't help if you don't provide exact details.
already did the repair and such but ill send screenshots
middle of flying too
My friend gets kicked off by BattleEye on a dedicated server mid flight aswell

What the latest rpt has?
That just means the reason was that the data from the client didn't reach the server in time. This has nothing to do with game or server file corruption. Something along on the network stalled. Either the client side or the server side.
Hmm idk the server is in the other room from me lol it’s a dedicated server sitting 30 feet from me but I could have been my internet idk
Are you connected through wifi to it?

Watch wierd drum sound and millions of other Arma 3 videos on Medal, the largest Game Clip Platform.
running out of RAM
I've seen it happen a lot when using large hashmaps
either a broken mission or you're missing mods required to play it.
error from 1st screenshot looks more like a wrong texture path in a mission
thats not a mdmp
its not letting me copy and paste to the website

I am having quite an unusual issue I cannot seem to resolve.
As of the past few weeks anytime I attempt to launch the game Steam will begin to "validate" the install.
As soon as validation completes the process starts over again. This loops indefinitely every time the validation completes.
Any ideas how to fix?
Shutdown Steam, the game and the launcher. Then delete content of specific folders inside the Arma 3 game install folder. Then let steam verify the game again. It can choke on some verification processes if files are partially correct.
Trying that now. Thanks!
If cleaning out a certain folder didn't fix it after verification is done, pick a different folder and try again. as we don't know what file it has problems with.
can anyone help me this happens every time i load into this server i play on cant move then game crashes. settings are on low. TIA
missing mods probably
One of my unit members got Linux and since then he has been unable to get TFAR to work. Does anyone know anything about this?
I don't think anyone seriously tries to use the Arma Linux client
You can run the windows client fine in Proton or whatever IIRC.
I wouldn't expect any extensions to work otherwise.
Well, extensions that do any external communication at least.
anyone know what this is?
a warning
and it says you're missing a PBO file for Acre. I guess it's an Acre2 compat for Western Sahara
ah, okay. i looked up "compat_ws" in the workshop and google but couldnt find anything
"acre_sys_ws" in google points to western sahara compat mod
i wont be using anything from western sahara really though, i just had it because aegis or something needed it so i downloaded the compat mod for non-owners
then you can ignore it, it's just a warning afterall
ye
i just wanted to know if it affected the base game and base mod functionality. thanks
nah not really, just adds acre functionality to western sahara vehicles and backpacks
so if you're using an Aegis vehicle (which was based on WS content) ACRE won't work on it
The real reason for this message is that I have a problem with the game and I have not found a solution in forums or in discord groups, I have sent a support request to the arms team and they have not responded and I wanted to know if they could help me
What happens is that I downloaded the weapon a while ago and played for a while (2 weeks) after that I deleted the game and now I wanted to download it again and it turns out that the game freezes when entering any server, be it with mods or without mods the only thing that runs the gun is the singleplayer.
When it freezes, it gets so, so caught up that I literally have to turn off the power on the PC because nothing closes the program, not even the task manager

downloaded "the weapon"?
it's a modpack, not a weapon.
my guess is there is some stuff in it that caused your game to behave like that, mod thieves making their "life server" gargabe love to mess with people that are not on some kind of whitelist.
I would try reinstalling the game and just not play on that server with this mod pack.
How to fix this?
increase object slider
and set terraint to very high
just curious, what server are you playing on in that ss?
Thanks will try
Nah this is a pic from reddit. I think reforger, just posted it to show my issue
try without mods
try setting particle effects to lower quality maybe.
minimum is not good
standard or high
minimum does not use gpu
fps drop when using flares, its never done it before and i know its not a gpu/cpu problem because if i get out of the jet the fps gets high again but if i get back in the frames drop
its a drop from 70ish fps to 20 fps
can someone pls help me
you do have pretty long view distance
try dropping that to say 2000 and see if there is any difference
could also be a sound problem I suppose but dont know how to debug that. maybe if you got headphones plugged in try unplugging them
My profile settings recently got reset and now nearby grenades make the screen desaturated. Does anyone know what settings or mods cause this? I am running ACE if that helps
yep it is ace
thank you, i was using bluetooth headphones and disconnected them and that seems to have stopped the fps drop
(to have*)
Did there used to be a suppression setting for ace? Im not finding anything to disable grenade suppression
No suppression features in ACE.
could be the ACE damage
whenever I try to load campaigns or multiplayer my screen turns black and freezes so I have to restart my pc
Is that with or without mods? Consider unloading all mods before you start campaigns, especially vanila game campaigns. They don't do well with mods anyway.
Don't join servers with whatever mods you like. Unload all, then join the server in the launcher and let it dictate what mods you need. Sometimes they allow optional mods that you may have in common.
If not, verify your install of Arma 3 through Steam.
hi guys, how can i make that error message dissapear?
it's very annoying, i just want to make any error message like this to be dissapear
Possibilities:
- Faulty Mod
- Faulty mission
Solutions:
- If is a Mod, unload
- Report it to the author
- Or try to solve it by yourself
- Or you can hide them (not possible in Editor though)
Can someone PLEASE help with this because it is still doing it
Are you loading mods?
access restricted 😢
First thing I see is a warning message about a mod, that the server you're playing on isn't allowed to use... Bad start
no
Some post processing graphics enhancement (like ReShade)?
no its all vanilla
Then at least post the settings you have. And your system specs.
gpu: 1650
cpu: i3 12th gen
ram:16 gb ddr4
CPU i3 12th gen is not specific.
ok 1 sec
Same goes for GPU
Assumptions that it is not the hardware because it worked before don't go. GPU/CPU fan might have clogged up over time with dust. Temprature issues might happen if the game suddenly needs to do work.
Drivers change also.
i only got this pc 2 months ago i doubt its clogged
and when i get out of the plane the fps instantly goes up to 100
and sometimes it doesn't even do it
I un plugged my hotas and it has stopped but it will probaly do it again
Well, good. Find a way to replicate it. Find out if it is the hotas itself, the key-presses it generates, or if the HOTAS management application running in the background (if applicable to it) disturbs Arma 3 running.
For example HOTAS and Track IR on the same USB hub can cause traffic jams.
its the hotas because when i plug it in and use my keyboard it still does it but if i unplug it its fine
does it do that when you plug your joystick to a different usb slot?
Let me see
it still does it, its probably because the hotas I have is cheap and old (I got it for £20) its the black widow xe flight stick
I copied a script for medical patients over from one of our other pbo files but for some reason its not working and i dont think ive did anything different.

Hi! I'm having some er serious issues with my Arma 3 as of recent, about 2 weeks ago an issue started popping up where I can't load into the map, it just gives me a loading bar that says "Receiving data".
My other friends are having this issue too but get this- only when I'm in the server, they've streamed for me and as soon as I disconnect from the server it lets them connect, I have no idea what's going on I don't know if this is a modpack issue or an internet issue, maybe the server itself has some kind of issue but I tried talking to my server host and they can't find any issues to speak of.
I'd really appreciate if I was able to get some help on this.
As well, when I try and load in without other players in the server I get stuck in the map screen, I'm unable to proceed further to actually get into the map, the only thing I can do is press escape and leave.
test joining BI official servers without mods and see if that works
if it does its likely issue with mods
guys, i have a question, why my plane doesn't shoot anything, i set the DESTROY waypoint to a truck, but my plane moves away and flies nothing happens
this is an example of the video i want to make, anyone know how to make AI plane can shoot any target like this ?
If it's an issue with mods do you by any chance know how I'd find out which one or will I have to take shots in the dark?
try some tank as a target for starters
wait
rpt log file might say something but often it can be anything. make sure you use exact same mods the server is running and nothing else

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.
Alright
drop 3 different plane, set DESTROY waypoint to group of tank, the plane just flyaway , doesn;t shoot anything
what weapons do the planes have?
if you are using mods, turn all off first to make sure its not a mod issue
set the AI skill level to maximum
and make sure they have correct weapons to use
here the plane weapon
start from turning off mods
what the correct weapon to use in a plane for shooting enemy on the ground ?
can you screenshot like this ?
I don't think it's a mod issue, I'm using the same modpack everyone else is using and they're all able to connect perfectly fine
nothing special here
yeah this is what i mean
well try a vanilla server and if you can join
i saw another people can do this, but why i can't
turn off the mods and try
is this the trouble? destroy waypoint attribute
I can join a vanilla server so I know I can connect to regular servers obviously but I have zero idea what mods would be causing the inability to load proper
As I said I have the same exact mods as everyone else and this issue only popped up two weeks ago
i just on eden editor btw
get the server to run no mod mission to see if you can join that
what is the different between AT & LRBMB
different weapons
both worked
i turned off mods, set full skill on ai, but still my plane still fly away, what should i do ?
Alright
Once everyone's off the server I'll try that
the point is not every plane can shoot ground target like tank truck, am i right ?
or you have any spesific type of plane or type of plane weapon specialized for destroy ground target? @uncut trellis
some weapons are AA only
AI will not engage ground targets if they do not have a gun or air-to-ground load. They will also not engage ground targets if they are empty vehicles and/or have their engines disabled, empty vehicles do not get called out as hostile
some are IR guided and need target to be hot
some are radar guided and need radar lock
some are just dumpfire like rockets
if you're using modded aircraft then you can just google the bomb and rocket names to see what they do and how they work, for vanilla loadouts there is Arma fandom wiki
how to make ai break the rules, just ignore everything and shoot rocket at a ground target like general tank ?
scripting commands
🍿
example
wanted to come up with something cool but I only have silly things on my mind
u mean this web ?
ye
I made a mission in which there is a BLUFOR helicopter attacking a moving OPFOR truck. Destroy waypoint points to a position not the vehicle so I used the BIS_fnc_stalk function and helicopter successfuly attacks and destroys the truck
interesting
inb4 flyby checkpoint + scripted explosion
yes but no tutorials
btw do you have engines enabled on the opfor vehicles your aircraft is supposed to attack?
There's a command to make vehicles hot without them having to move, although giving them a short cycle waypoint is the easier way.
what is the command
how to check this
seek and destroy waypoint in the middle of your targets could work too
if you have 3den Enhanced then there is an option in Attributes, if not you can use https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/engineOn
for the phantoms pilot controlled bullpups seem to work pretty good
(in phantoms you got to assign weapons to either the pilot or the gunner)
aand probably view distance will affect from how far they shoot from
like this ?
pilot controlled bullpups seemed to work
also when selecting the weapon the tooltip tells what type it is
u mean this ? i can't find bullpups
well you got to try some other then 
is this engine on and hot enought to be a jet target ?
oh okay
Do you know if there's anyone I can talk to who'd be able to help find out what mod is causing this issue? I can join the server on vanilla so it's a mod issue, probably a faulty installation or it didn't update properly
Check the pinned
I can't particularly check what mod is doing this as if I try and connect to the server without some of the mods it'll kick me out
So that's not an option
then you are out of options, set a local server or make another instance on your server to test the mods out. Or just close it for maintenance until you fix your issues
I genuinely have no idea how to troubleshoot this, nobody else is having issues, it doesn't give me issues on a local server either so I'm baffled
More of a #arma3_questions question, but first is a MiG-29. Probably from RHSAFRF
And latter is from the same Mod most likely
thanks
Hey, what's this mean? is the mod bugged and I should redownload it? Linux dedicated server.
there are two mods that are GAME DIR (EMPTY) instead of just GAME DIR.
That means it couldn't find any data in the folder you specified. Check if it is correct in the command line, and check if the data is there.
I go to the folder and there's an addon there that weighs the correct amount
However, and this may be useful - when I try to load the mission I'm trying to load on that map, it gives
No entry 'bin/config.bin/CfgWorlds.vt7'
No entry 'bin/config.bin/CfgWorlds.vt7'
No entry 'bin/config.bin/CfgWorlds.vt7'
No entry 'bin/config.bin/CfgWorlds.vt7'
the list of mods was generated from, bluntly, ls serverfiles/mods/
so there shouldn't be any mispellings
I wonder if the files are just corrupt
oh wait
maybe it's perms
It's not perms :|
So even after redownloading with steamCMD
both 3cb factions and vt7 are not correct
The VT7 mission won't load up, and 3CBF won't load onto the server (it appears in a different mission if loaded right)
But by far the most confusing thing is that
in the log
(the console log)
Unload all mods in the mods tab of the launcher, find the server in the serverbrowser of the launcher. Then join the server and let the launcher load all mods (you have or don't have yet) all that is required by the server.
That says the vt7 mod isn't loaded.
Check for spelling errors
Its linux? make sure "addons" folder is lowercase
if that's all it is I'm gonna scream
(mutes audio in preparation)
Anyone know how to fix this?
Im going out of town and im trying to set up either steam link or team viewer from a laptop to my pc but everytime i get in game my mouse doesnt work properly. main menu it works fine but in game i can only stare at the ground.. anyone run into this before??
Why not just install Steam + Arma on your laptop instead?
I've never used Steam Link, but I do know that Team Viewer doesn't really work nice with games since it's not sending the actual mouse input. Meaning the game still things the mouse on the host is being used instead of the virtual mouse, causing these kinds of issues.
Might be the same reason why Arma isn't registering the mouse when using Steam Link.
For some reason my arma 3 audio comes a little tiny bit muffles and unclean and it pisses me off
Does anyone know why?
I set it all back to default and it still comes out like that
i reset my output device
still sounds like that
its just pissing me off
when i load the 64 bit branch of arma 3 it gives me error code 0xC0000005 but its okay with the 32 bit branch any help?
ill send the trouble shoot report if needed later. i do not want to block other questiosn
okay
Hmm, whats with the .Arma3Profile messing up, causing infinite loading screens while joining the server?
I'm having a similar issue. When I try to join a server using a new profile, I get stuck on a loading screen.
When I try joining with the default profile, I can join in no problem.
However, I'd like to be able to play with a normal profile, since my "default" one has my last name, which I'd rather not go by online, even with my regular group of gamer friends.
Something in the files of the new .Arma3Profile files is messing up things, causing me to be unable to join servers. I'd assume it's a modpack issue, if not for the fact that I can join the server just fine with the default profile.
@quaint jewel where can I read about the fixed bug on v9 from the 26th for my game crash?
how we fix it, so far is:
- rename .Arma3Profile to something like .Arma3Profile_old or anything really
- startup the game, join server with said profile
- game will create new .Arma3Profile
- open old (renamed profile) copy all lines starting with key*** (these are your keybinds) to the newly created one
- restart game, or change profiles and it works
However its still annoying when it happens cause its ussualy detected right at the start of the op.
That hasn't been too successful a way for me. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Or, sometimes I can join the server, but if I either exit or crash, I can't rejoin.
Its ** annoying.
I once tracked it down to units (like Arma3 units) entry, causing that but sometimes its completely difrent.
dunno so far we always fixed it with that. But i guess you could also check .vars.Arma3Profile
hello, might be a dificult question, but I'm trying to load some mods but they make the game crash. any way I can know what mods are causing this?
See the top pinned message.
makes sense. just wondering if there was a program for that or something
it gives this fault message, but I dont find amod with that name
you could search your mod folders for BG
is there perhaps a way to know for sure mods are compatible when downloading?
Niche issue I know, but I'm having problems with the Arma 3 Unix Launcher loading mods on my Steam Deck when the game is installed to the SD card instead of the SSD. I've tried Symlinks it still acts the same as a regular SD card install. Anyone proficient in Linux able to help me out?
@fringe salmon In general? No. There are no barriers within Arma. Any mod can break any other mod.
Your particular error looks like a failed download though. One addon in a mod complaining about another addon in the same mod.
#perf_prof_branch pinned messages have changelogs?
There isn't much to read besides "fixed crash"
Has someone any idea, how I can fix this?
It's my Server, and it's hosted by Nitrado.
Yesterday I had the same Problem, but it was fixed, after I reinstalled the Server again, but today it's there again...
And as you can see it's not the mods (as it is the case by anyone eles who I saw complaining about this problem online), which cause the problem, it's the DLCs and three files in the /dta folder of the server itself.
Pleas help.
