Other modded factions work fine, and I’ve already uninstalled and reinstalled RHS as well as validated all files.

umbral narwhal
#

If you can generate it with no other mods installed and on the stable branch of Arma then report it on the RHS bugtracker.

jovial parcel
#

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?

umbral narwhal
#

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

uncut trellis
#

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

steady hawk
#

That is not a concern what HG said

#

You MAY have a wrong version of it

uncut trellis
#

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

steady hawk
#

We have zero idea where you get CBA, or Mods list

#

Again that is not the concern

uncut trellis
#

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"

steady hawk
#

One way to check

#

Or... do you @uncut trellis think configSourceModList and check CfgPatches would do it?

uncut trellis
#

never used that so dont know.

steady hawk
#

Maybie worth a try

#
  1. 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

steady hawk
#

What reinstall

#

Uninstall and unload are different

#

Oh why

#

That doesn't make any sense

uncut trellis
#

unsubbing is not required

steady hawk
#

Unloaded Mods don't do anything with the game, no need to uninstall after all...

uncut trellis
#

just turning them off in the launcher makes them not load

steady hawk
#

ediots meowsweats

ocean cosmos
#

has nobody recommended steamverify yet meowsweats

steady hawk
#

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

uncut trellis
#

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

steady hawk
#

Eden Editor's Console or any other shortcuts are not configurable

junior mauve
#

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.

uncut trellis
#

got mods?

steady hawk
#

None. HG misinformed you

junior mauve
uncut trellis
#

if not then youll need to turn off mods, try again

#

press buttons to figure out where your console key is

viscid maple
#

yeah its mods, not sure which one, but loaded a new mod pack that has more mods and somehow it works

uncut trellis
#

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

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.

quaint jewel
#

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

thats the last I could find.
The rest is either good, or.. sus but I cannot tell if actually bad

116mb? wow, they are usually around 30 🤔 Interesting

junior mauve
#

I have three types of crashes: game cash with 0xC0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION, PC freeze and PC automatic reboot.

umbral narwhal
#

Freeze & reboot aren't supposed to happen regardless of what Arma does. Likely to be a hardware problem.

junior mauve
#

6 hours ago everything was working fine and other games works too.

umbral narwhal
#

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.

pine kite
#

Not enough ram memory? Too many other applications consuming that in the background?

full night
#

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...

full night
#

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...

hearty wigeon
#

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

rancid bluff
#

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

pine kite
#

Could be (one of) the mod is removed from Steam.

rancid bluff
#

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

austere sundial
#

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

velvet thunder
#

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

umbral narwhal
#

What limit do you hit?

ornate folio
#

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

velvet thunder
#

Oh you aren't using a bat file or TADST

ornate folio
#

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

uncut trellis
#

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

ornate folio
#

shouldnt it be the path to the server exe?

uncut trellis
#

whichever exe you want to start

ornate folio
#

ok

#

that worked thank you 🙂

uncut trellis
#

👍

pine kite
rancid bluff
#

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

pine kite
#

I know RHS, but you didn't say it was RHS, you said it was RHS-like.

uncut trellis
#

could be your friend needs to verify steam install

rancid bluff
#

There are many mods which are in the "most subscribed" category just like RHS

uncut trellis
#

!steamverify

rustic eagleBOT
#

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

rancid bluff
#

Probably poorly worded

rancid bluff
#

I will let him know that

pine kite
#

For example, what if you send us that html list of mods.

uncut trellis
#

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

rancid bluff
#

Yeah we tried but for some reason it didn't appear for him but I will try that with him tomorrow

#

Appreciate your help

steady hawk
#

Some Mods remove them for whatever reason

ocean cosmos
#

some mods even remove debug console/config viewer 😱

uncut trellis
#

some mods are made very poorly

#

or they try to hide stuff

#

or maybe hide how poorly they are made tanking

ocean cosmos
#

wish there was a block list for mods so i never had to see them again

steady hawk
#

You can simply use third party viewer

uncut trellis
#

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 :/

umbral narwhal
#

How long does it last before freeze/BSOD?

red galleon
#

How long does the freeze last or how long before it freezes

#

?

umbral narwhal
#

How long before it freezes.

#

Like is this immediately on startup or after some random time?

red galleon
#

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

umbral narwhal
#

It's probably your PC.

red galleon
#

Okay , Thank you i just wanted to be sure

#

but my PC freezes Rarely

#

So i dont really know

umbral narwhal
#

A stable PC never freezes.

golden nova
#

if it was game issue, we all would have freezes and BSODs. 😛

umbral narwhal
#

My old haswell has gone about a decade without a freeze or BSOD.

red galleon
#

Thanks for the help i appreciate it

umbral narwhal
#

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.

golden nova
#

when playing Arma run some software to watch your hardware usage and temperatures

umbral narwhal
#

And modern windows is normally pretty stable if the hardware is.

restive sequoia
#

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.

golden nova
#

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

umbral narwhal
#

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.

pine kite
#

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.)

red galleon
#

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

umbral narwhal
#

It's ok as long as you don't touch anything with the nozzle :P

pine kite
#

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 😦

uncut trellis
#

that is soooo bad made XDDDD

#

Id say please dont even try

hazy temple
#

oh...?

uncut trellis
#

this is very poorly set up mod

hazy temple
#

Well... bummer lol

uncut trellis
#

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

hazy temple
#

Are those assets straight copy-pasted from OG crysis?

uncut trellis
#

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?

hazy temple
#

This is the Crysis mod in question

uncut trellis
#

yeeeh

hazy temple
#

I'm a sucker for anything Crysis related, and will simp hard for anyone who makes content related to it lol

uncut trellis
#

straight to trashbin

#

thats just stolen stuff

hazy temple

I mean... EA threw that IP in the trashbin too... lol

uncut trellis
#

we take that stuff rather serious here

#

gotchya

#

not tryin to stir up anything. Legitimately didn't know.

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?

two Q

  1. 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

  2. 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?

steady hawk
#

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?

golden nova
steady hawk
#

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

lime sphinx
#

the question sounds like "why can't the nose stay above/below the horizon without constant elevator input"

steady hawk
#

Yeah, but since I don't have such issue/feature...

#

Oh wait

golden nova
#

fast drag down is me moving my mouse, then heli is slowly leveling with no physical input

steady hawk
#

Oh, I think this is a proper feature, that the heli's speed stabilizes itself

#

@golden nova Is this simple flight model or advanced?

velvet thunder
#

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

steady hawk
#

Yeah that's what I wonder. Jets normally don't do such

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!

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)

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?

could mean your GPU has some issue

spiral delta
#

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

uncut trellis

could be driver issue

spiral delta

tried setting graphics and stuff but it didn't do any better

#

so..... geforce experience is where I get those updated right?

steady hawk
#

Have you lowered your video settings?

spiral delta
#

yeah bumped them down but still same issue

steady hawk
#

Well lowering your video settings is always no good if you have good enough GPUs. How old is your GPU?

spiral delta
#

about 1 year old so that kinda why I didn't believe it would be a hardware problem

steady hawk
#

Does it do its job on other games?

spiral delta
#

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

uncut trellis
#

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

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

anyone know what causes this?

umbral narwhal
#

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.

civic thunder
#

brother I have no idea what either HLC or AWC is and I am loading RHSUSAF in 😭

HLC is NIArms iirc

umbral narwhal

rhs_c_weapons is AFRF, not USAF.

civic thunder

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

golden nova
#

it could be a all-in-one RHS compat and these require all RHS mods to work with no notifications

civic thunder
#

do u think ill be fine without the compat?

golden nova
#

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

Are you sure you have never moved a PBO some folder to some folder else?

void thistle
#

no the only thing i did was move the files client side into the folder and put the keys in the key folder

umbral narwhal
#

check what's in @cba on the server. I'd ask for the RPT but that's probably pointless for a Linux-based server.

steady hawk

I thing what you need is @CBA_A3, though. @cba doesn't sound fine?

umbral narwhal
#

Server hosts sometimes do translations.

steady hawk

What exactly is @cba?

void thistle

according to the server how to page

this is the cba file

umbral narwhal

Inside addons.

ive been going at this for like 3 days

umbral narwhal

Connecting to the wrong server maybe? :P

void thistle

im directly connecting

umbral narwhal

either that or the console's lagged and not loading the correct mod list.

RPT would tell but you won't have that.

void thistle

so what should i do like force factory reset this?

is something broken with the server internally?

umbral narwhal

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.

is there any other good arma server hosts?

this shockbyte sucks ass

void thistle
umbral narwhal

other then the specifics, yes

ok thank you

umbral narwhal

It's linux so you need to lowercase every PBO. I don't know if they do that for you.

Oh good to know

or just the addons

please tell me theres a way to auto that

umbral narwhal

If you have command line, sure

Otherwise it's down to your server provider, like everything else.

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?

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

topaz field
#

everytime i launch zeus the game freeze

#

any fix?

golden nova
umbral narwhal
#

@fallow lark Better performance of what?

fallow lark
#

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

golden nova
#

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

fallow lark
golden nova
#

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?

fallow lark
#

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

umbral narwhal
#

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.

fallow lark
#

Yeah true, anyway thanks for the input ill keep looking into it

fallow lark
umbral narwhal
#

Nah, tested it myself a while back.

fallow lark
#

Alright thanks

umbral narwhal
#

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.

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!

quaint jewel
#

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

rotund phoenix
#

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?

bronze river
#

only one way to find out, isn't it?

rotund phoenix
#

true

#

Okay yeah they just have to do direct connect.

#

Thank you sorry for the bother.

ocean cosmos
#

i've never had any of my servers appear in server list, always had to direct connect

umbral narwhal
#

You need the port+1 forwarded to get server list support.

pine kite
#

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)

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.

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?

pine kite
#

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.

pine kite
#

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.

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

I already did it and it still doesn't work

golden nova
#

downloaded "the weapon"?

vivid ridge
#

Yes

golden nova
#

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.

uncut trellis
#

yeah broken modpack

try without mods

try setting particle effects to lower quality maybe.

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

#

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?

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)

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

wet pumice

#

Some post processing graphics enhancement (like ReShade)?

wet pumice
#

no its all vanilla

pine kite
#

Then at least post the settings you have. And your system specs.

wet pumice
#

gpu: 1650
cpu: i3 12th gen
ram:16 gb ddr4

pine kite
#

CPU i3 12th gen is not specific.

wet pumice
#

ok 1 sec

pine kite
#

Same goes for GPU

wet pumice
#

i3 12100f

#

GTX 1650

pine kite
#

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.

wet pumice
#

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

pine kite
#

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.

does it do that when you plug your joystick to a different usb slot?

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.

uncut trellis
#

test joining BI official servers without mods and see if that works

#

if it does its likely issue with mods

fringe salmon
#

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 ?

#

try some tank as a target for starters

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.

raven skiff
#

Alright

fringe salmon
#

drop 3 different plane, set DESTROY waypoint to group of tank, the plane just flyaway , doesn;t shoot anything

uncut trellis
#

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

fringe salmon
uncut trellis
#

start from turning off mods

fringe salmon
uncut trellis
#

worked just fine with a phantom on my end

#

try the AT loadout for example

fringe salmon
#

can you screenshot like this ?

uncut trellis

nothing special here

i saw another people can do this, but why i can't

uncut trellis
fringe salmon
#

is this the trouble? destroy waypoint attribute

uncut trellis
#

did not touch those

#

and it worked

raven skiff
#

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

fringe salmon
#

i just on eden editor btw

uncut trellis
fringe salmon
#

what is the different between AT & LRBMB

uncut trellis
#

both worked

fringe salmon
#

i turned off mods, set full skill on ai, but still my plane still fly away, what should i do ?

uncut trellis
#

try waiting for a bit

#

mine just made a overfly first to angle them right

raven skiff
#

Once everyone's off the server I'll try that

fringe salmon
#

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

golden nova
#

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

uncut trellis
#

some are IR guided and need target to be hot

#

some are radar guided and need radar lock

#

some are just dumpfire like rockets

golden nova
#

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

#

wanted to come up with something cool but I only have silly things on my mind

golden nova
#

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

fringe salmon
#

do you have youtube channel ?

#

@golden nova

golden nova
#

yes but no tutorials

#

btw do you have engines enabled on the opfor vehicles your aircraft is supposed to attack?

umbral narwhal
#

There's a command to make vehicles hot without them having to move, although giving them a short cycle waypoint is the easier way.

uncut trellis
#

seek and destroy waypoint in the middle of your targets could work too

golden nova
uncut trellis
#

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

fringe salmon
uncut trellis
#

pilot controlled bullpups seemed to work

#

also when selecting the weapon the tooltip tells what type it is

fringe salmon
uncut trellis
#

well you got to try some other then blobdoggoshruggoogly

fringe salmon
#

is this engine on and hot enought to be a jet target ?

uncut trellis
#

if you use heat seeking missiles then maybe.

#

most of them are radar guided though

fringe salmon
#

oh okay

raven skiff
steady hawk
#

Check the pinned

raven skiff
#

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

golden nova
#

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

raven skiff
#

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

fringe salmon
#

anyone know what typo of plane is this ?

#

and what type of artillery is this ?

steady hawk
#

More of a #arma3_questions question, but first is a MiG-29. Probably from RHSAFRF

#

And latter is from the same Mod most likely

fringe salmon

Hey, what's this mean? is the mod bugged and I should redownload it? Linux dedicated server.

signal iris
#

there are two mods that are GAME DIR (EMPTY) instead of just GAME DIR.

nova elm
#

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.

signal iris
#

I go to the folder and there's an addon there that weighs the correct amount

signal iris
#

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

signal iris
#

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

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??

weary sky
#

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

Hmm, whats with the .Arma3Profile messing up, causing infinite loading screens while joining the server?

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.

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?

umbral narwhal
#

@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.

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.
