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

It might be worded differently in your own language.

This is in Dutch, but you need to press the bottom button.

Oh

damn

yea

I fgt

umbral narwhal
#

The tab is now "Installed files" rather than "Local files" in english.

#

Changed in the UI update I think.

pine kite
#

Might have been changed with the recent Steam app update probably.

hello, does anyone know why my friends can't see my server? I have my ports open, my internet settings are set to a private network and i've enabled the ports on firewall

#

please send help

wet dragon
#

guys I wanna join a server of my unit and when I click join type in password and click ok it loads me for like 5 seconds and then it just cancels out and brings me back to where i was before. I tried verifying files restarting game and pc

uncut trellis
#

wrong password perhaps

wet dragon
#

I load into it and after 5 seconds it just brings me back

uncut trellis
#

check your logs, maybe there is some clue

proven sail
umbral narwhal
#

Check if you're on CGNAT.

wet dragon
#

it's fixed now

proven sail
umbral narwhal
#

No, it's something imposed on you by your ISP.

proven sail
#

how do I check it

umbral narwhal
#

You can detect it by checking your WAN IP in your router settings.

#

If it's different from your publicly-visible IPv4 (and/or in a private address range) then you're on CGNAT and you're screwed.

proven sail
#

so i have to check if my ip on router is different from mine?

umbral narwhal
#

The router will have two IP addresses, an internal (LAN) one and an external (WAN) one.

#

plus maybe some IPv6 but that doesn't matter.

umbral narwhal
#

You compare the WAN one with your publicly-visible IPv4, like you get from googling "what's my IP".

#

Although sometimes google decides to be weird and only show you the IPv6.

proven sail
#

so if the wan address of the router is different than my IPv4 then im in the bad position?

umbral narwhal
#

These are all IPv4

proven sail
#

yea i get that

umbral narwhal
#

I'm just clarifying it there because google sometimes gives you the IPv6.

#

If the WAN IP starts with 10.x or 100.x then it's definitely CGNAT.

proven sail
#

for me it starts with 192

proven sail
umbral narwhal
#

No, they might be doing something weird.

#

192 is also CGNAT but weird.

#

Usually they use 192.x for the LAN side and 10 or 100 for the CGNAT.

proven sail
umbral narwhal
#

CGNAT anyway. Your only option for hosting is to use VPN software like Hamachi or Zerotier.

proven sail
#

i will check another network i can connect to

#

wait a moment

umbral narwhal
#

actually, are you just using multiple layers of routers internaly...

#

because that would explain the 192

proven sail
umbral narwhal
#

oh god what

#

Stop doing this shit :/

proven sail
#

i just want to clarify that i was able to host a server like a year ago

#

but now it's broken

#

i didn't change anything along the way

umbral narwhal
#

It's entirely possible that you have CGNAT -> router 1 NAT -> router 2 NAT

#

but that's kinda hard to check

proven sail
#

the routers are not connected to each other

umbral narwhal
#

Don't really care anyway. It's hard enough to diagnose this stuff remotely with a simple network.

#

So I'm outta here.

proven sail
#

ok

#

thanks for help anyway

#

if you know anyone who can help please send them here

Check pinned

turbid pond
#

Is is possible to check which asset is causing the No entry 'bin\config.bin/<something> error? The addon(s) is not present in the scenario dependencies but it is making the scenario return to the lobby stage. My guess is that the addon is one of the dependencies. I know the delete/remove X and check if it shows up method but was wondering if there's something else I can do.

quaint jewel
#

Sometimes you can just look at the config path and recognize the classname, they are usually tagged with mod's tag

turbid pond
#

Roger that, thanks for the quick tip

quaint jewel
#

alternatively script commands configSourceMod configSourceAddons can tell you who last modified a entry. In case its a broken basegame entry

#

Recently had some mod break my main menu, but couldn't see which.
I ran configSourceAddons on the main menu UI config, and it listed me all mods that modify it. Which were only 3. one of which being the base game. That made it quick to track down

turbid pond
#

I guess that it doesn't like config errors.

quaint jewel
#

zeus will load many configs

#

If there is a config error, it will only be reported if something loads it

#

So now that you removed it, nothing is loading that config anymore. But the error is still there

turbid pond
#

Yeah, true true. Is it possible to skip the error warnings, so it doesn't throw me back to the lobby? I know where the config error is but I'm asking more from a quick and dirty testing perspective.

quaint jewel
#

server config has an option to ignore mission load errors

turbid pond
#

ignoreMissionLoadErrors = false; this one right? edit: ofc set to true 😛

fading pulsar
#

This will only do if mission error occurs during load.

If: you select role, click next, past briefing screen, then error that ends mission occurs, you will still be thrown out.

turbid pond
#

buuut it did work in my case

#

Thanks Dedmen, Marko

hi everyone i am having problem with getting inside of vehicles sometimes, when other players gets in i cant but after that when they leave the vehicle i can enter the vehicle

do yall know the solution

#

that you are using

#

rhs mod for little bird

golden nova
#

I know that this thing used to happen with ACE mod loaded, if you do friendly fire you can't sit in the same vehicle as your "victim" and they have to pardon you

#

otherwise idk

dire relic
#

is there any way to disable it ?

golden nova
#

admin probably can

#

I'm have basic knowledge of ace, if there are no server settings in addon options for that then admin probably would have to make a custom ace version with proper PBO file removed. There is an invite to ACE discord server in #channel_invites_list so you can ask there for details

#

hey, whenever i attempt to load into arma 3 through thte launcher it displays this.

#

but im actively running at 60Hz and at the graphics settings it’s telling me to, what more does it want me to do?

#

it does this whenever i try to load i’ve been at this for over 45 minutes, and have restarted my computer and changed the graphics settings about 10 times

umbral narwhal
#

Err, what graphics settings are you changing?

uneven brook
#

my hertz, i was running at 55Hz and i changed it to 60

umbral narwhal
#

I mean it's Arma's graphics settings it's complaining about, not windows, and you can't see those unless it can display something.

uneven brook
#

so would i need to change something in arma?

umbral narwhal
#

Conventionally what you do there is start the game in "safe mode" but I'm not sure that Arma has one.

uneven brook
#

i don’t know what that is, i’m relatively new to PC and still figuring stuff out

umbral narwhal
#

Ok, go to Documents\Arma 3. Look for the file Arma3.cfg in there, and open it with notepad.

#

Should have these lines in it:

fullScreenWidth=1920;
fullScreenHeight=1080;
refresh=60;
uneven brook
#

okay

#

i don’t have a cfg file

pine kite
#

And what is that one at the top?

umbral narwhal
#

It's the top one. Click on "view" and make sure that "show file extensions" is ticked.

#

Otherwise windows hides the file extension, which is fucking degenerate.

uneven brook
#

so i’d right click on the file and click on view?

umbral narwhal
#

Instructions may not be accurate because I'm not sure what windows version that is.

uneven brook
#

it should be windows 11

umbral narwhal
#

Nah, you right click and select "open with".

#

The file extensions thing is just general advice so that you can see what you're doing.

uneven brook
#

okay, i open it with notepad right?

umbral narwhal
#

yes.

uneven brook
#

okay

#

that’s all that shows up

#

do i need the game running to look at it?

umbral narwhal
#

...huh

uneven brook
#

what?

#

maybe i’ll just uninstall and reinstall and let you know?

#

it might be because i’m clearly missing a file lmao

umbral narwhal
#

The file's there. I guess it just hasn't written anything to it yet because Arma hasn't managed to run successfully.

uneven brook
#

true

umbral narwhal
#

But then I've never heard of Arma failing to pick the right screen mode.

uneven brook
#

i guess it’s always full of surprises

#

could i add you as a friend?

umbral narwhal
#

no

uneven brook
#

cuz i’m going to uninstall and reinstall and i’ll just PM you when it’s done

#

oh alright no worries

umbral narwhal
#

Just post here, someone might have a better idea.

#

I'm kinda out of them tbh.

uneven brook
#

that’s actually really smart

#

i think i’ll uninstall and reinstall, maybe my whole settings changing fucked it up somehow

umbral narwhal
#

One thing: If you have multiple graphics adapters, make sure you're using the right one.

uneven brook
#

i don’t think i do, but i’m not sure how i would check that

umbral narwhal
#

Number of sockets on back of PC :P

uneven brook
#

i see

umbral narwhal
#

Oh, you can tick for "force window mode" in the launcher parameters and then you'll at least see something.

uneven brook
#

i’ll give it a shot

#

i need to cool off for a bit though i’m getting needlessly frustrated

can anybody help with file provider is not running

umbral narwhal

It's onedrive-related but I'm not sure if the correct approach is to fix it or remove it.

right

im having this

and its driving me fucking insane

for some reason when i open the game this movie thing plays in the backround

and

it doesnt

@fringe salmon There is this in pinned messages:

If you have a background sound/audio while you're playing the game (not in launcher) there most likely is a YouTube or other video platform is playing in the Steam Overlay's Browser. Shift+Tab by default to open it and close every browser there.

digital sedge
#

is there any way to fix horrible lag spikes while playing the game, i just got it and its kinda not playable ata ll

uncut trellis
#

have you installed the game on external HDD?

digital sedge
#

Is that bad?

#

dont have alot of storage on my pc so i use a external for all games

uncut trellis
#

usually external drives are slow

#

and Arma reads a lot of data when it runs

#

so yes

#

that is the cause of your lag spikes

digital sedge
#

Thanks

umbral narwhal
#

External SSD would probably be fine, assuming it's on USB 3+

#

External HDD is even worse than internal HDD

"KnowsAboutChanged" Group Eventhandler seems a bit wonky, the knowsAbout value will never reset to 0, even when you teleport away, skip hours, make it nighttime, have objects in between... Is that intended? Is there a workaround?

umbral narwhal
#

That's normal for knowsAbout. You need about 5min real time without sight for it to reset, IIRC.

#

Otherwise it only rises.

#

See targetKnowledge if you want more info about when and where an object was last spotted.

strange latch
#

Oh, 5 mins? Ok I was not patient enough then. Even when time compressed?

umbral narwhal
#

You mean SP time acceleration or just setTimeMultiplier?

#

I would expect SP time accel to speed it up, but setTimeMultiplier certainly shouldn't.

strange latch
#

Hm I think it did not when upping SP time accel

Hi, I have a problem with a bisign. I'm trying to update Unsung and for uns_dong_ha.pbo I cannot create a correct .bisign file with DSUtils: ```---------------------------
Arma 3

Signature C:\arma3mods@unsung\addons\uns_dong_ha.pbo is wrong. Error 0x22. Test FAILED!

OK

#

the other pbos are signed correctly, not sure what's going on

golden nova
#

Maybe the pbo was built wrong

jaunty cedar
#

yeah, seems so, if I build it with addonBuilder, the resulting signature works. Gonna check with Mikero on makepbo and what I did wrong

Good Afternoon,

Running into an issue where I am attempting to update my mod with arma 3 tools addon builder.

Arma 3 is not running in the backround

violet pumice
#

The same addon(s) build completely fine on my end

wraith jay
#

Okay I did literally NOTHING and it works now

#

My arma being so weird today, trying to publish and getting this error code

Yea unsure how to resolve this Dx Any tips

median bear
#

idk if this belongs in here but sometimes when I die it doesn't let me respawn, nor can I leave the game anyone know how to solve this?

#

it doesnt let me send a picture only the link but it looks like the respawn menu but it doesnt let me interact with it for some reason

#

oh nvm here

ocean cosmos
#

if you had zeus open press the zeus keybind again

median bear
#

I didn't have zeus at the time

#

sometimes it happens when I dont have zeus, or when I have zeus but when I hit the keybind again it dont work 🤷

ocean cosmos
#

odd, thats the only time its happened to me

thorn apex
#

I have a strange control bug, and I was testing it because change to crawling while sprinting while using the mod was didn't work properly, but suddenly the all contorol didn't work properly, and when I press the WASD key, the movement works out of control. It may be because i was using mod, but I think might be a keyboard or mouse bug.

#

To be more specific, if I press WASD or press another Key, it will work like a hitting another key in fast speed, making it impossible to move properly.

steady hawk
#

Sounds like a AnimDataCache issue

thorn apex

#

Get to Profiles folder, find AnimDataCache folder, delete it and relaunch the game

nvm i find fix

#

Would there be any reason why it takes me 30+ seconds to get in zeus with CBA+ACE+CUP+RHS? I know in the past it was almost instantaneous. Especially with the whole zeus cache thingy?

golden nova
#

"zeus cache thingy" is outdated.

#

and you either are not telling us the whole mod preset or your PC is just ass, I can load into zeus with CUP Units/Vehicles/Weapons + all RHS and ACE in split second.

My arma profile is pretty old file, as in I used the same profile for years, I wonder if that could have effected it. Because I am pretty sure sized of profile files effect arsenal load times.

its a log file of what goes on when you run the game

its needed in this case right?

#

much can i tell by word really is that i had no mods on

it would show how you run the game

might give some clues on what happens

@uncut trellis i got it

#

do you want me to DM it to you

uncut trellis
#

you can link it here, someone else might have ideas too

maybe its just how a3 handles lod at this point

to recreate just go anywhere in a jet and max out objects distance

Whenever I try to launch Arma3 (first time right after downloading today) I get an error. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling battleye and restarted my pc multiple times, updating my graphics card, updating windows, uninstalling and reinstalling arma, and running it with windows defender off. I have not seen anyone else with a similar issue after looking it up on google. But I think it means STATUS_ENTRYPOINT_NOT_FOUND so it could be a missing DLL. But having little to no knowledge in computer science I dont know where to look or what to do.

umbral narwhal
#

Is there another error message before that one?

trim zenith
#

I click PLAY the launcher closes (due to a setting) loads for 10 seconds than that error message pops up

umbral narwhal
#

What if you don't use that setting?

trim zenith
#

It happened before the setting but I'll try again

#

Still doesnt work and same error

umbral narwhal
#

Yeah I dunno, that's a rare one.

Do you have Arma installed anywhere odd?

#

mapped drives etc.

wraith haven
#

if the path is long, it might cause some issues.

#

STATUS_IO_REPARSE_TAG_NOT_HANDLED.
means there's something wrong with a file or directory.

#

you gonna have to use procmon to see what is actually wrong

#

Here's how you gonna have to solves this.

  1. Run procmon
  2. Run Arma 3
  3. look for STATUS_IO_REPARSE_TAG_NOT_HANDLED error
  4. using where the error happens and when it happens might be able to figure out what is causing it, and fix the file
#

other than that. Verify your game download. Don't just uninstall it and reinstall it. Actually go into the proprieties in steam for Arma and click verify game data.

pine kite
#

Or you press that bottom on the bottom and prepare a report. Then post that on the Feedback tracker so the devs can take a look next monday. Isn't a fix in the short term. But might help in the long run.

Today i will be showing you two methods on how to unbinarize a mission.sqm.

Question

Why would i want to unbinarize a mission.sqm if i binarized
the mission that requires mods?

Answer

If a mission has a mod dependency and is binarized and one of or all of the
mods used in the scenario is missing, corrupt or whatever issue (no...

i did see that but i would like to do it from there :

Is it even related to unbinarize mission.sqm?

what's happening inside the running mission (including debug console) has nothing to do with mission being binarized or not

does not compute

im probably not the first one to talk about huge frames drop, But Im not much of PC expert but when i open up task manager is see that arma 3 is only consuming 20% of my CPU, in the same time ARMA 3 Is running on average 15 FPS on some server, all my settings are set to low and disabled , is there is anyway i can boost up my frames to atleast 30 FPS ? so it becomes fairly playable ? My CPU is not the best but decent , Its I7-2600 3.40Ghz , GPU is Radeon RX 560 and 16 Gb Ram

#

low + disabled shadows is the fastest setup I found.

#

i7-2600 is really marginal though.

#

I have a 4790 and I'd consider that borderline for playability on the heavier servers.

#

like if you ever heard of Karmakut , YTer's Liberation server when they get into close to enemy position and they get to spawn my frames drops even more even im not way close to them

Object view distance is basically the #1 performance setting.

#

You set it as low as you can stand if you want more frames.

# stone kayak Hopefully this is helpful, thanks for the help

I'm afraid that log file doesn't show a lot, it doesn't even have the full start up of the game logged, let alone the error.

So please provide one which was logged the moment you got the error, or if you restart the game and get the same error again simply the latest .rpt file.
Also make sure you have '-noLogs' disabled in the startup parameters (can be done in the Launcher)

queen nest
#

when using zeus on a turrent, if i die or exit by pressing y, my controls get completely locked

#

i also cant control any more ai

#

it locks me until i restart the mission, is there any fix to this??

#

ive done so much investigation i have no clue what could be causing it atp

golden nova
#

it is a known issue for dying when in a gunner seat in any vehicle, been there for years and probably won't be fixed

queen nest
#

is there any other specific things c causing it or

#

it is so annoying

#

or just ways to prevent it

golden nova
#

idk I'm not a dev, I only know that it happens on the gunner seat

queen nest
#

surely there is a mod that fixes it too

#

hjghgngng

golden nova
#

best way to prevent would be not taking the gunner seat.

#

alternatively if you have access to debug console you can "attach" the zeus module back to yourself, assuming the zeus module and your base unit have variable names

queen nest
#

huh havent heard of that before

golden nova
#

I can't find the exact issue report now but iirc the problem was that your dude is disconnected from the module for some reason, hence the weird lock into the "camera" rather than going back to the unit

queen nest
#

im gonna try that

#

thanks :3

queen nest
#

ik arma doesnt really have those mods but aaaa

golden nova
#

I mean anything other than "dying in gunner seat does that"

queen nest
#

just leaving the gunner seat does it too

golden nova
#

you can get Zeus Enhanced mod and instead of remotely controlling the gunner, give him a suppress order so he'll shoot where you're pointing

queen nest
#

might just have to use that lol

#

also with the command you gave me, do i have to use the varible names of things instead of player assignCurator myCurator;

#

like if i named the unit x and the zeus module z

#

would i do x assigncurator z;?

golden nova
#

player should be changed to you playable unit variable name, if it's a singleplayer scenario then can be left as is, myCurator should be changed to your game master module var name

queen nest
#

thanks!

#

sadly that command doesnt fix the issue

#

just tried it

thanks for the help tho :)

Jumo terrain got an update on the 9th, so either the keys are incorrect, or the keys have gone currupt with the update

#

any ideas why Arma would perpetually and successively use more RAM when alt-tabbed (and paused)? First screenshot is when alt-tabbed and I'm writing this message, 2nd is when I focus back on the game. If left alt-tabbed for long enough it will crash because I'm out of memory. Also when I focus back some assets just seem to reload, because they dissapear and appear back. I'm not running any custom parameters, this happens with and without mods, although clean vanilla takes RAM much slower

edit: this does not occur if I alt-tab but the game is not paused

worn jungle
# neon rain how can i unban them

In case of banning, ban.txt file is created in root Arma 3 directory that contains a list of banned UIDs. To unban a user by UID (UID is the only option) or to clear the ban.txt:

#exec unban "98749837498374"
#exec clearbans
neon rain
worn jungle
#

If you take a look of pages
In game ->
You can access the command line by pressing the chat key (default /).
In the chat input window you can type any of the following commands in and confirm them with the enter key.
You have to add the # character before the command.

neon rain
#

i dont get it

pine kite
pine kite
# neon rain i dont get it

The file ban.txt is on the drive/storagespace/whatever of the server. It lists whoever you banned in the past. Use that to find the unique identifiers. Then when in a running server, login as admin, use the chat command as shown to unban the right unique identifier of the person you banned accidentally.

Issue
Client Side Door Bug

Description
When another player opens a door, the door does not open on my side. Players seem to phase through a closed door. I am not able to see nor go through threshold despite other players being able to. I have to open the door myself to be able to cross through.

Frequency
Seemingly random intervals. Once it happens once, it is consistent for the rest of the op/game until client game restart.

Notes
Happens on rented host server. Cant remember if it happens with other modpacks. Has definitely happened on other private servers.

Specs
FX-8350
1660 Ti
32gb DDR3 RAM
7200rpm HDD

Check which version you actually have. Could you have subscribed an older reuploaded version that someone abandoned?

#

Most rented servers have a way to do file management, through FTP for example.

#

If you login on the server via the chat menu: #login youradminpassword then you can execute those server command in chat.

#

Its not rented

#

Its just a hosted private server

#

I will ask again: How do i unban friends from a private hosted server.

If it is a hosted private server you have more direct access to the files and folders. Go search it.

Hey all not 100% if this is the right chat or even the right server to sek help about this but any input would be welcome. I lead a small community of friends who over the years have done a lot of FPS gaming, last year we got into AMRA 3 playing on public servers and joining friends groups this month we decided to front thecash to get our own server unless asked i will avoid providing the name of the service provider and the server is now up whenever i try to load a set of mods onto the server using the services in browser portal I find that the server then has serious issues with numerous feature of the core mods (ACE3) failing to function and bugs popping up. please don't see this as an ad for any mod in particular but find below the list of mods in our most recent preset also note that this and all previous modlists have been tested and worked well in singleplayer:

The issues/bugs we are encountering now include:

  1. Ace Medical actions don't complete with the progress bar popping up and then remaining empty.
  2. related to ACE as far as ive heard we have a bug where ground vehicles seem not to have any acceleration above like 1km/h and cant turn. i found on reddit posts saying this was an ACE issue but while those posts said it could be fixed with a restart or map change that has NOT fixed the issue.
  3. Zeus menu often lacks healing or other ACE options.

now while i am new to ARMA 3 modding and the managment of ARMA servers I feel like there has to be somehting im missing as many of the key mods in the above list are popular and ive tried to source compat mods where i can.

#

PLEASE if anyone can advise me if I am just an idiot that missing somehting or if me and my fiends are being scammed or something that would be good ive tried working through this issue over the last week and have so far burnt over 30 hours on it and while the server company is nice enough in their support tickets their policy seems to be "have your tried reinstalling and restarting the server? ow you have the try it again."

mmmmm

alright so installing the mods doesnt make them run on the server lol.

#

so its tagging all those mods as clientside mods?

No, you need to add them to the startup parameters (which is either manual or automatically depending on the server tool you use)

fringe salmon
#

so i copy the mod list to the server mods when i find where thats hidden?

#

give me a min gonna look around see if I can find any options for that on the browser tools

sigh they just wiped all the installed mods

back to trying to find the mods to install before i can find how to set them to be server mods.

found this under a section called commandline section

#

would I be right to assume i need to copy paste the mod listing from client mods into server mods?

No, it should only list them behind the -mod parameter.

#

Server mods will only be loaded on the server and are not required for the client (eg. if you use a mod for database connections)

alright hat makes some sense

#

man they got me alike a sucker i sent them an email before i started the rental and was like how hard is it to set up and operate a AMRA 3 modded server im new to this and they where like "easy we can have your mods set up and the server live within the hour."

#

a week later and hours and hours later honesly I am near tears at this point feeling ive let my mates down as their all looking forward to this tomorrow.

#

wait brain jst kicked in the -Mods section is showinig all the mods from my last preset. now just eh two i have now.

I'll restrt the server again hope it updates.

even after restart it still shows mods that have been uninstalled. christ this feels like a mess to me

Never seen issues like that with ACE, and I've been using it since Arma 2... I'm 100% sure it's not ACE causing it.

So there's obviously a mod which is breaking ACE, and even vanilla vehicles...

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.

blame teamspeak for giving it a bad name, and for it not working properly

cheers @quaint jewel no way i was gonna find that burried down there

#

didnt realise games generated so many secondary folders away from their main install path

grat so i aint crazy and i the world biggest moron lol

I always thought ACE wouldn't let you join the server if there was a mod missmatch, but that probably just doesn't work when neither ace nor cba are loaded on the server

fringe salmon
#

man I am glad i aint crazy was wondering for awhile there

#

youd think that the ace menu wouldnt show up then lol but guess its just a broken UI from my client side install?

#

so waht do you think yell at the company to install the mods?

raven horizon
#

You might want to check your ticket before yelling at me kekChamp

fringe salmon
#

I feel almost like ive been scammed i thought their broswer tools where gonna make it so easy and I could do something nice for my mates and get this set up for us.

raven horizon
#

Heya peepoWave

fringe salmon
#

alright fair enough man not mad at you but for someone that knows shit all about this i feel like im in free fall

raven horizon
#

No worries, been there felt like that when I had to set up my private server. Definitely not a fun time kek

fringe salmon
#

hold up let me bring this up on my other monitor see if i can find what im sure is a very simple tick box?

raven horizon
#

Just give your server a quick restart and check again for stuff, I'm sorting out other customers but i'll try to keep an eye over here as well.

fringe salmon
#

so if i understand right the server will now run the mods listed beside teh Default - Mods setion? which still shows mods taht I had removed from the server??

raven horizon
#

Yup, should be loading those right now

fringe salmon
#

alirght cheers now i am beginging to see the design logic.

#

but why is it showing mods that where uninstalled?

#

when i check the install tab from the steam workshop area it confirms only ACE3 and CBA_A3 are installed?

raven horizon
#

Excellent question THONK

fringe salmon
#

man idk how you lads do this all day i deal with data and policy analytics all day and I staight feel like your talking witchcraft lol

raven horizon
#

Oh this is easy compared to other games, far from ideal sometimes but definitely easier than dealing with Project Zomboid Mod Collections kek

fringe salmon
raven horizon
raven horizon
#

Awesome, glad to hear that! PepeHappy

fringe salmon
#

man i hope the server doesnt take 20mins to download tiny mods again

raven horizon
#

🤞

fringe salmon
#

i tried to donwload some tiny compat mod the other day and it sat there for like half an hour making me sweat

raven horizon
#

Strange, unless the Steam servers were a bit congested it should've downloaded all of that in a sec.

fringe salmon
#

yeah i think its your servers being like "where is it its so small i cant see it." as it seems to happen more when downloading small mods like under a 10MB

raven horizon
#

Will take note of that and pass it to the right people to check peepothumbsup

fringe salmon
#

cheers might also be my shit Aussie NBN but even mine isnt normally that bad

#

right so mods like CUP and RHS and then their mods or should i go like CUP then its dependencies and then the same for RHS and then solo mods last?

#

so glad its working now im worry about breaking it lol

raven horizon
#

From what I've tested myself, the order I gave you on the ticket should be a good base. Might need to tweak things or move things around if you're using something that requires it but overall it should work fine right out of the box

#

Don't want to hijack the whole channel for this since it might be better to keep it within a ticket or our own Discord at most 🙂

quaint jewel
#

The mod order should not matter at all

#

if the mod was written properly, the mod itself contains info about what order it needs

raven horizon
#

I usually recommend trying to keep it organized as a general rule of thumb for people that don't know much about how servers work. It helps with those mods that aren't written properly 😛

#

But sure, i'm by no means an expert on Arma 3 so I'm definitely flawed when it comes to troubleshooting A3 stuff (Since my specialization is mostly on Source Engine and some other games).

I'll try follow the load order your reccomended @raven horizon

#

more curisous if any of these mods are known issues to the community

quaint jewel
#

I don't see anything known bad

balmy kraken
#

apologies im back lol, my arma and its workshop folder is on my d drive, but the space on my c drive is decreasing???#

bronze river
#

other thing like driver update can fill drive C if left unchecked

pine kite
#

You probably have a new Steam library that contains all the workshop files for every game on your C-drive. Transplanting a drive doesn't really work with how Steam keeps mods and workshop content. It certainly won't work with how The Arma 3 !workshop folder works. It contains links to mod folders which are now broken.

balmy kraken
#

shit ok

#

so i cant move them off my c drive technically

pine kite
#

I've heard of very technical ways. But never done myself. Nor do I have time to explain it now.

balmy kraken
#

yeah dont worry i wont bother enquring about that lol

balmy kraken
#

i just dont want to delete arma and all that and then for some reason still have some of the C drive taken up by the mods i downloaded even if i deleted arma and logged out of my steam cos its my buddies pc and just want to keep it clean for him considering i have to download quite a few mods

#

apologies if thats a bit diffifcult to comprehend

uncut trellis
#

If steam is installed on C then steams download cache could be taking extra space

fringe salmon
#

alright this ride isnt fun anymore lol

#

now two of my members are having this error pop up when they try to launch the game. sorry for shit pic but its all he could manage at 4am

pine kite
#

@balmy kraken The stuff from the steam workshop (mods/scenarios) end up in YourSteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\107410
As said before, those are where the real mods are, they are the destinations of symbolic or hard link folders in Arma 3/!workshop folder.

Arma 3 is installed in another folder: YourSteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3
On which drives they are exactly is something you need to figure out. And which are newly created after installing Steam and Arma 3 or which are leftovers from your older install.

The mods or workshop content does not seem to be specific for any Steam account. So if others on that computer also login to steam their workshop subscriptions seem to be coexistant with yours. In that case I would be carefull with removing all mods. Only unsubscribing should remove those mods automatically. But it's been know for Steam or the Launcher to leave them there.

pine kite

!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.

# pine kite <@1010647951305085060> The stuff from the steam workshop (mods/scenarios) end u...

apologies if i am not on the same page and im waffling, but if i were to delete the whole 107410 folder would that make space? ive just found that folder and can see all the mods that have numbers for their names, and my mate who owns this computer doesnt play arma anyway so would i be safe to just make sure this folder is deleted when i delete everything that i need to delete off this pc?

balmy kraken
#

okay

uncut trellis
#

as long as you dont run your steam account again so it starts downlooading the mods

balmy kraken

okay cool

Hey all! 👋 does anyone have a moment for some troubleshooting?
ie; for some reason an icon doesn't appear over bodies/crates to loot or get items. The first mission of Prarie Fire requires you to load up with equipment and I can't even get an icon on the crates to access them... this is solo campaign

#

I even loaded the vanilla campaign and its still happening

golden nova
#

are you playing with any mods?

severe ermine
#

Hello guys, I'm playing with mods and when I start a game on foot I crash, but if I start a game in a vehicle and play in it everything is fine until I get out, any fix ?

#

I have 368 mods

ocean cosmos
#

fix: stop using 368 mods

#

that is far too many

severe ermine
#

Majority are graphic mods, performance mod and units

weary sky
#

well, at least 50% of them are either broken or break other mods...

#

and "performance mods" ? never heard of those...
by default do mods decrease performance, no matter what they do

severe ermine
#

Like bug fix, the tweaks and stuff like render distance, cleaning

weary sky
#

well, it's obvious that it doesn't work 😉

severe ermine
#

And ai mods

#

I dont use it for fps i have enough just there because of the mod pack

#

The problem is that there is a lot of tiny mods that make the difference ig

#

And i dont want to remove them

weary sky
#

as already said; don't use so many mods... 1) you don't need them, 2) it breaks stuff and 3) there's no computer in the world able to run that without running it at 5FPS max...

severe ermine
#

In my case i have a single mod that make my game crash when i go on foot

severe ermine
ocean cosmos
#

no, you cant run at all which is why you are in this channel

(i hope youre proud of that one lou)

Been having CPU/memory issues. Had no trouble loading 100+ mods + DLC in June, suddenly game crashes every time I open arsenal on 80 odd mods.. RPT doesn’t show mod errors, and I was told by the amazing wiki I have a memory issue. A3 has access to all my memory, and this has been repeated with just A3 and A3 launcher open.

Check the pinned to see what Mod is causing

if nothing works it could mean your windows install is broken

viral jungle
#

why doesnt EZM work in pub zeus anymore

#

it worked earlier for me and now its broken

umbral narwhal
#

@fringe edge When you reinstalled VC2013, did you install both the x64 and x86 versions?

spiral wolf
#

I am 300 hours into Arma 3. I play on a heavily modded server, FPS is as expected (20-30fps when busy), no complaints there. My issue is that since I hit 200 hours on the game if I open the map my game drops to 2fps until i zoom nearly all the way in.

#

This happens in single player, editor, and in other servers. With and without the mods installed. I am at my wits end with this and really need help figuring out what the hell is causing this.

#

I have done a full fresh windows install, fresh steam and Arma 3 install. I have a fully vanilla game at this moment, and the map still tanks my fps from 70fps (Vanilla runs really well in the first scenario) right down to 2fps.

I need help, everytime I click play on steam the launcher pops up then closes then pops up in a loop stopping me from doing anything. I have verified files and restarted

#

I am not tech savvy enough to figure out what to do next myself

steady hawk
#

Do you mean Arma 3 Launcher pops up and close, repeatedly?

#

PC Specs? OS?

magic hill
#

This hasnt been an issue before this install

steady hawk
#

Is this your first Arma 3 playthrough so far?

magic hill
#

i have like 17hrs

steady hawk
#

So it suddenly happens?

magic hill
#

sometimes immediately othertimes 10 seconds

steady hawk
#

I can suggest to reinstall DirectX 11 and Visual C 2013

magic hill
#

What is that

steady hawk
#

Google it

#

"Reinstall DirectX" and "Reinstall Visual C 2013" should tell where and which to install

magic hill
#

Thank you

steady hawk
#

Also, just in case, any visible error messages?

magic hill
#

None at all

#

I can try and screen record although I am not sure how

steady hawk
#

IIRC if Launcher fails/crashes sometimes it produces a error log text file. Do you have one?

#

It should be in your Desktop if there is one

magic hill
#

IIRC?

steady hawk
#

If I Recall Correctly - a frequently used abbreviation

magic hill
#

oh thank you

#

I do not appear to have error log text file

steady hawk
#

Then disregard

magic hill
#

where do I place THE EXTRACTED FILES IN DIRECT X

#

sorry caps

steady hawk
#

Anywhere, you can just execute it

#

The exe knows what they will do

magic hill
#

ok

#

What type of download do i wnat in thye c thing

#

\

#

What type of download do I want in the C thing?*

steady hawk
#

You can edit your post anytime tho

#

If you have 64 bit OS, 64, if not (32 bit), 84

#

But I think you need 64

magic hill
#

Ok

#

Should I attempt to boot now?

steady hawk
#

Try it

magic hill
#

attmpeting

#

its holding for now (knock on wood)

#

I haent pressed any buttons

#

nope it dosent work, the instant i pressed unload mods it crashed

steady hawk
#

Hmm

magic hill
#

I don't know what is going on

steady hawk
#

Then I can suggest two things:

  • Since you reinstalled DX and C, reboot your computer
  • Delete arma3launcher.exe and verify
magic hill
#

ok

steady hawk
#

Maybe easier to reverify for now

magic hill
#

Could be

#

It's restarting now

steady hawk
#

Please report back later

magic hill
#

Will do

#

Computer is up again just running through startup

#

Trying to launch the game now

#

Is this relevant

#

it popped up with an opersa installer error

magic hill
steady hawk
#

Reverify yet?

magic hill
#

yes

steady hawk
#

🤔

#

Out of idea I think. You may want to Dedmen sits at his office desk

magic hill
#

Who is dedmen?

steady hawk
#

One of the few people who worked on Arma 3 to maintain

magic hill
#

Is he on the discord?

steady hawk
#

Yup, green dude

magic hill
#

oh, do i just dm him?

steady hawk
#

You may not want to ping him directly unless he asks to do so

magic hill
#

so dont do that

steady hawk
#

He frequently checks here so he may notice your issue. But since he's an employee and it's a weekend... yeah

magic hill
#

Bummer, was really hoping to play tonight

#

Thank you so much for your help.

steady hawk
#

OR, if you really want to play Arma 3 whatsoever, you can probably launch arma3x64.exe directly

magic hill
#

I need to load mods

steady hawk
#

You can manually set launch params... but painful

#

That's why the Launcher exists but anyways

magic hill
#

I go back to school in two days so he might check before then

steady hawk
#

Monday is a national holiday in our country. Luckily it's not a case in Dutch

magic hill
#

Im australian

#

Its sundsay 9pm here

steady hawk
#

He should be worked in Dutch, mmaaaaybe Czechia so think the timezone gap

magic hill
#

about 15-20hrs

steady hawk
#

But anyways I'm out of the clue now. You maybe want to rest or play other game

magic hill
#

Good idea thanks

steady hawk
#

'ight. Somehow I feel some sympathy when I meet similar timezone dude 🙂

magic hill
#

dutch is a very different timezone

#

oh you mean situation

#

yeah

Far western

# untold trout how do u play singleplayer? im pretty new to the game so im sorry if i am asking...

There is the single player menu on the front page of the game. Has the East Wind campaign on Stratis and Altis, showcases to explain what you can do in the game. Time trial to flex your hand eye coordination. Scenarios is quite empty when you start for the first time. You need to subscribe to (singleplayer) scenarios in the workshop for them to appear. In many cases you can also start a local server for yourself (without connecting to the internet) and try out the built in multiplayer scenarios solo or perhaps with some AI. (doesn't always provide AI)
