[crude bronze]

I did. I didnt find anything. Thats why I'm asking here

[steady hawk]

Are you 100% sure?

Controls > View > Look Left/Right?

[bronze river]

when in doubt, reset to default

[crude bronze]

I have nothing bound for those controls

[crude bronze]

I have changed my binds a lot as Ive played so I would rather not

[steady hawk]

Mods?

[crude bronze]

I checked the controlls for all the ones I'm running and nothing is bound to q or e

[steady hawk]

That's not my question's answer

[crude bronze]

then what is?

[steady hawk]

Do you have ANY Mods?

[crude bronze]

yes

[steady hawk]

Then unload them all and test

[glass steppe]

Hi! I'm trying to use Brettmayson’s for sign mod. Any command that will sign all files with one shot? Or do I have to repeat that for every single file? Thx!

[steady hawk]

You can just use DSUtils

[wet dragon]

How do I host so the game would appear for my friend? I enabled upnp in my router but it still shows me that error that I apparantly don't have it enabled and tried that zero tier thingy which also didn't work and port forwarding I can't find it in my router settings

@steady hawk

sorry for the ping

[steady hawk]

What are you expecting me to do

[wet dragon]

well maybe you can help me out

[steady hawk]

You shouldn't use this method to get answer since it is very random ping you have very generic question

You have simply zero reason to ping me

[pine kite]

time to find a new powercable. But that is beside the issue. Still the easiest way and most reliable way of getting it to work as before.

[pine kite]

Are you using an alternate profile without knowing/realising?

[snow crystal]

Technical difficulties with my server

[uncut trellis]

best to also describe the difficulties

[snow crystal]

Fair point

[hushed pond]

11:14:42 Warning Message: Addon 'FIR_F14_VF154_F' requires addon 'FIR_AirWeaponSystem_US'

[snow crystal]

The server apparently does launch, but I cannot connect to it

[hushed pond]

your server wont boot past that

[snow crystal]

Am I loading the mods in the wrong order

Is it bottom up rather than top to bottom

Or left to right

[hushed pond]

that doesn't matter, there's either a ttypo in the mod folder, it's empty or a typo in the start params

[snow crystal]

hm

I am loading this through HostHavoc, if that matters

[hushed pond]

also the log file is quite empty, so if you ticked noLogs somewhere please untick that and never tick it again. It does nothing for server performance and only makes troubleshooting harder

you're also loading all your mods in the servermod argument, that's wrong. Use the mod argument.

[snow crystal]

Okay, what should be loaded in servermod?

[hushed pond]

nothing

[snow crystal]

Alright, I'll try that

[hushed pond]

@Advanced Rappelling - Reworked;@Advanced Sling Loading;@Advance Towing there's a typo in there e.g.

should be advanced towing

so there's problably more of them, enable logs, start server and then look at rpt for list of mods that will tell you whats loaded and what isn't

[snow crystal]

Alright, I'll do that as well

I was a bit tired last night

[snow crystal]

Oh

I think I know what my problem was

Some mods are quirky and name themselves differently on workshop and folder

And I want the folder names

[snow crystal]

or it's not that at all

[snow crystal]

is there a specific name I'm looking for?

[uncut trellis]

We cant know since we dont know what folders you got

[snow crystal]

Fair enough, how should I show you?

[uncut trellis]

dunno, you may need to figure out the mod folder names yourself.

my suggestion

remove all -mod launch paramters

then open the folder so you can copy paste them one by one

so you get them right

[snow crystal]

The part that's getting me is that I did copy the FIR AWS folder directly

And nope, it's still apparently not loaded

Is there an option somewhere that limits the amount of loaded mods?

[cunning sierra]

the loaded mods are decided by you via -mod and -servermod arguments

[snow crystal]

Wells, removing the fir aws and related mods did make the server load this time apparently, so I'll try loading it again later I suppose

[normal jacinth]

how do i fix these textures?

tried running without mods and verifying game files, no fix

[pine kite]

Prove it with a screenshot. That shows way too many unrecognizable mods to rule it out.

[golden nova]

and disable reshade, maybe one of its shaders messes the background and some icons.

[normal jacinth]

i had reshade for about a year, no problems like this before

how do i disable it either way

[golden nova]

just create a new preset and/or disable all effects, just like you have enabled them

[normal jacinth]

disabled every effect, still same as above

no need for screenshot since its identical

i assume my only option is a reinstall, right?

[golden nova]

you could try reverting custom parameters to default if you have set up any in your Launcher

[normal jacinth]

defaulted all of em, still same problem

wonder what the cause of this is

[pine kite]

And if you remove reshade entirely out of the equation? (I have no idea how to use it in conjunction with Arma 3 anyway.)

[normal jacinth]

also fair to mention i didnt update the game whatsoever, this just randomly happened today morning

[normal jacinth]

i could try yeah

[golden nova]

it could be worth checking the RPT too, perhaps game managed to log any issues regarding this

!rpt

[rustic eagle]

Arma RPT

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

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

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

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

[normal jacinth]

dont see any errors

https://pastebin.com/XgUjCfZ7

heres a pastebin version of it

[golden nova]

hhmm idk then, I've never seen anyone having such issue before, if you can't think of any other way of troubleshooting this then I guess reinstalling is better than nothing

[normal jacinth]

yeah i guess so

ill restart my pc to make sure its not a one time problem and then if it persists ill just reinstall

[normal jacinth]

before i reinstall is there any way i could keep my mods installed?

not really looking forward to reinstalling 100gb worth of mods

[wet dragon]

guys so idk what is going on with my game but it keeps playing from what I assume is a trailer with a bunch of loud noise and I have no idea how to disable it

[normal jacinth]

steam bug, try restarting your pc that usually works for me

[wet dragon]

alright

[pine kite]

If they are not loaded in the launcher then they will not be used. You can make a mod preset in the launcher and save it. Easily selectable later.

[pine kite]

Check for settings in Steam that autoloads the Steam overlay for the game. Either Steam settings, or properties of the Arma 3 game in the library.

[north spire]

Er.. Anyone got a link to whatever mod that is?

[wet dragon]

where do I find the thing that autoloads in steam settings

restarting helped from some time until it started playing again

[golden nova]

open your steam overlay in game and close the web tab or whatever is playing the trailer there

[wet dragon]

oh yeah

that was all i had to do

steam made me loose so many brain cells

[pine kite]

It's in Dutch, but you would find it at the same for your language.

[silver beacon]

getting download failed on some mods and I am on PC

[golden nova]

that's a Steam problem so report it to Steam I guess

[silver beacon]

through the game workshop?

also highly doubt it considering I am now at 400% of the mod being downloaded lmao...

[golden nova]

what game workshop? Arma 3 is using Steam for it.

[silver beacon]

Oh shit, wrong one

I am talking about reforger

my b

[golden nova]

then reach out in #reforger_troubleshooting , no worries

[brazen drift]

Yo I have a Gefroce 3060 GPU And Ryzen 7 5700G and 32gb memory And in every operation i play with my group i never had stable frames anyone knows why?

i dont know much about PC parts but i feel like my build is quite good

[normal jacinth]

no i mean the actual mod files not the mod preset

[jovial jackal]

can somebody help me with these errors?

[steady hawk]

Bad Mod does. Get rid of it

[open temple]

my arma will not load

[steady hawk]

Okay?

[open temple]

i dont know how to fix it

[steady hawk]

IDK what FFIS is but read the guide of it

[open temple]

i found the file

[steady hawk]

The FFIS Mod's description explicitly says what you need to do
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2131149623

[open temple]

ahh ok thank you this is my first time playing arma

whats the best stealth mission

[tired sail]

Anyone know anything i can try to fix talking in game?
Ive verified game integrity
Changed mic quality settings
Deleted Local files and redownloading
Running Steam and ARMA as admin

[pine kite]

I am not certain if when uninstalling the game it also removes the mod content of the workshop. If you want to reinstall I suggest you remove the entire contents of the Arma 3 install folder in steam, and then do a re-verify. This should download all files new. I supposed if you know where to look you could also remove/verify/reinstall only those files affected by the reshade mod or whatever it is.

[pine kite]

The one you don't know exists. 😉

[pine kite]

check the pinned messages about audio devices. Make it your default windows sound input and output device (before you start the game)

[fringe salmon]

Hey if i start arma it freezes but its not really frozen when i click on "wait for the program to respond" when it says Arma 3 is not responding it just loads normally but its pretty annoying can anyone help me with that problem?

[uncut trellis]

are you using mods?

[fringe salmon]

yea, it does the same without mods tho

[uncut trellis]

is your game installed on an external drive (maybe usb connected)

[fringe salmon]

no i think its on my D drive

i have a better c drive should i move the game installation there?

[uncut trellis]

could try

[fringe salmon]

alright

[fathom canopy]

how do u copy startup parameters to clipboard?

[uncut trellis]

from where?

[fathom canopy]

from launcher

[uncut trellis]

have you written custom launch parameters to the parameter line?

or what are you trying to do?

[fathom canopy]

I want to make a .bat file to launch arma3

[grave solar]

guys i need help with a mod workshop

[uncut trellis]

easiest way probably would be to copy the launch parameter line from the .rpt log

or write it manually

[uncut trellis]

youll have to state the details of your problem before anyone can help you

[fathom canopy]

ah thx!

another q, how do u change FPS limit? i think option for this was added....

[uncut trellis]

cant remember there being such

[fathom canopy]

hmm I thought it was added. the max is now 120 FPS

[uncut trellis]

I mean fps limiter wont increase your frames

I doubt you have any use for it

[fathom canopy]

just wanted to see the max FPS

[umbral narwhal]

I don't think the client has a limit?

Not one that I'm gonna hit on my hardware anyway

[fathom canopy]

120 like I said

[ocean cosmos]

there is no option

[golden nova]

no, people can go way above that on empty maps.

[fathom canopy]

oh its max for me

[uncut trellis]

probably the refresh rate of your monitor

cant go above that

[fathom canopy]

oh right makes sense, have to change that

144 now 😀 thx

[pine kite]

That clips if going over a certain character limit iirc.

[umbral narwhal]

Above that you can get the whole command line with process explorer.

[normal jacinth]

hey bad news, i did a clean reinstall of the game and its quite literally the same problem

i am absolutely clueless on why this is happening

[pine kite]

Do you still have Reshade on your system? If so, sabotage that so it can't run.

[normal jacinth]

afraid not

the game doesn't start with it so i'd assume it isnt a reshade related issue

[scarlet saffron]

Have you updated your graphics card drivers?

[dawn karma]

Hi guys, so I was not in pc since two weeks, right now I can't see my favorite public server in both launcher and in-game browser. (also direct connect is not working too) The server has at least 60 player online always and I check from some website and it's online but I can't see it. (btw the host also has two more servers in same ip I see these ones as normal) Anyone can help?

[uncut trellis]

wrong channel

you probably want #reforger_troubleshooting

[pine kite]

Sounds like your network is messed up. Or using some kind of VPN. Thethered to mobile connection perhaps

[normal jacinth]

I have switched out cards recently

[sacred dove]

Has anyone else had an issue where WASD keys refuse to function? in the editor they seem to activate some tools (space bar cycles through terrain snapping functions not sure why). This only started today and I don't have any recollection of doing anything differently from what I normally do.

[normal jacinth]

it did work earlier though

[dawn karma]

I remember a friend of mine did some port settings in my router for hosting arma mission.

[pine kite]

That should not affect your own game or launcher looking up other servers. Unless he messed up bigtime.

[ionic fern]

Do you happen to know if the Kunduz afghanistan map even works for multiplayer?

basically

when i load in, I load in fine.

but when my friends try to laod in, they get stuck in a loading screen, i can see them able to walk, and they say that they can hear everything oging on aroudn them, but all they see is a loading screen.

i tried to see if it was any of the mods, i removed all unsigned mods, and made a new preset that they loaded.

still not working

I dont know what else it could be or why this may be happening.

very frustrating

[umbral narwhal]

Did they actually load the map?

[ionic fern]

they get through one loading screen

then they say a second one appears

that never goes away

but they can hear everything around them in game

and i am able to see them walk around

[umbral narwhal]

I mean, it sounds like they didn't load the map mod.

[ionic fern]

no they have it

its a preset

it is part of the preset

every mod i have loaded, they have loaded

here you can see it is part of the preset

[umbral narwhal]

shrugs

[ionic fern]

:/

been at this for 3 days now

[umbral narwhal]

After loading that modset, can they then view that map in the editor?

[ionic fern]

Yes

I found an article about the same exact issue from the Epoch mod website, but its for Arma 2 and its fix doesnt work seemingly

[thorn swift]

Time to parse your problem. Strip all mods but that map, and host an empty scenario on it for your friends. Ensure everything else is vanilla so you can be sure it's not another mod causing a problem.

[vagrant edge]

the system error is in dutch but it basicly transelates to: the code-execution can not be continued becous (empty space) not found, you can probebly solfe this problem by reinstaling the program ( I have reinstalt it 3 times and it still won't work)

[vagrant edge]

anyone that can help me solve this?

[golden nova]

you probably are missing files, Win11 seems to be doing that all the time. Try verifying game files instead or reinstalling straight-away

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_Process_Exit#0xC0000135_-_STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND try following this too

[vagrant edge]

it says "all 195 files succesfully validated

[fringe salmon]

Hello, when I want to put some mods by importing an .html file, I get the following: (Mods cannot be used because Steam is offline. Try again later.)

[uncut trellis]

is your steam offline?

[fringe salmon]

No

[uncut trellis]

can you subscribe to a single mod from workshop and does it download?

[fringe salmon]

Let me check

No it doesn't show

[opal igloo]

Hi , i have this problem with some servers like : Server name: [ OFFICIAL ] Arma 3 CP by Bohemia Interactive (EU) #03
Address: 85.190.155.159:2502
Server version: 212150787
Required game version: 2.12.146373

Map: Malden
Mission: Escape 10 Malden
Players: 8/10

anyone know how to fix it ?

[fringe salmon]

It downloads on steam but it doesn't show up there

[uncut trellis]

first thing probably is to try to verify your game files on steam

!steamverify

[rustic eagle]

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

[fringe salmon]

I've alredy done that

[fringe salmon]

It says all of them are ok

[fringe salmon]

? what next

omg I just restarted steam and it works

[hasty grove]

how do I load official missions with TADST?

[dusky pike]

Hey im running into and issue with my mod in the addon builder.

So when i dont pack the pbo with the biniraized option checked off it works fine. but when i have it checked on it doesn't work

any solutions?

doesnt work as it doesnt show up in the game or its glitched

not a config or model cfg thing it seems to be with the binirazation of the addon

[uncut trellis]

possibly project structure issue

[dusky pike]

as in how the folder is structured before packing? right now i have it set to /mod folder/ (content) should i make it /mod folder/data/(contents)

[uncut trellis]

you probably dont use P drive?

[dusky pike]

i do use the project drive

the pbo is just structured with no data folder just the contents in it textures p3d etc

[uncut trellis]

data folder does not matter

do you use special characters in your folder names?

or spaces

[dusky pike]

no

it works but it isn't binirazed and it takes forever to load

only when i have it binirazed i run into issues

[uncut trellis]

then you got some bad data there

too complex models or too large textures

as the game binarizes the unbinarized data on launch

which causes the long load time

[uncut trellis]

or very faulty config

[dusky pike]

alr ill look into that thanks

[umbral narwhal]

As a one-off, log in as admin and use #missions after connecting.

For autostart you have to manually modify the server.cfg and then tell TADST not to overwrite it on launch.

Same with mod-based missions like Antistasi and Vindicta.

[normal jacinth]

updated them, no fix

i am absolutely clueless

[scarlet saffron]

🤔

rename your dxgi.dll (from reshade) to something else.

[normal jacinth]

dont have it installed anymore

did a clean reinstall

[scarlet saffron]

roger. IDK it's a weird error.

Sorry 🥺

[final kernel]

Anybody have a solution to the mic not working in Arma but everywhere else it does including steam. Been banging my head on this one

[median bear]

Sometimes my troops spawn with accesories such as masks and goggles, any way to turn that off?

[lime sphinx]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Description.ext#disableRandomization or myUnit setVariable ["BIS_enableRandomization", false]; (from https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Characters_And_Gear_Encoding_Guide#FIA_headgear_and_facewear_randomization)

[pine kite]

Check pinned messages about audio devices.

[final kernel]

Yeah haven’t had any luck with the pins

[uncut trellis]

is it a usb mic or analog 3.5 jack?

[final kernel]

Tried both … 😞

[normal jacinth]

how do I fix this???

[uncut trellis]

have you accidentally turned mic volume down for arma

[uncut trellis]

no idea.

could tyr deleting the "addons" folder in Arma 3\ in case you have put something not belonging there

and then redownloading it with steam verify

[final kernel]

Is there a specific area to do that compared to to output for other games

[uncut trellis]

dont know

[final kernel]

Everything I can access is maxed out at this point

[pine kite]

I fooled myself once by disallowing use of the mic for applications in Windows security settings. then I wondered why discord didn't transmit my voice. Duhh!!

[final kernel]

Yeah it works in every other program and game but Arma is what has me baffled 😂

[opal igloo]

anyone can help me with this ?

[normal jacinth]

already did both of those

neither work

extremely weird issue

[uncut trellis]

have you tried making a new profile in game?

that should reset the settings

in case something there has gone poof

[normal jacinth]

holy crap youre a god

ive been struggling with this for a week and switching the profiles fixed it

thank you

[uncut trellis]

👍

[fringe salmon]

Hi i need help, Im tryna host a game for me and my mate but its not showing up for him when i play

anyone knows how to fix?

[hollow fable]

I Don't know why my fps is locked at 48 , just two hrs earlier it was giving above 60 fps , but now its permanently locked at 48 fps even at menus

[north spire]

Uh.. I don't have any mods loaded and I can't do bootcamp?

[golden nova]

have you tried deleting the stuff you typed into the searchbar? It's probably looking for a scenario named whatever you have in there.

[north spire]

Nope nothing.

For campaign i just got SOG.

[golden nova]

do you have any cdlcs loaded? The background looks like the Spearhead terrain, maybe it's conflicting with other things

[north spire]

CDLCS? I don't have anything loaded

[golden nova]

i'm asking about these

[north spire]

Oh yeah ill unload those

[golden nova]

apart from Contact they are all Curator DLCs, also known as CDLCs.

[north spire]

That did it.

[golden nova]

someone mentioned earlier today that Spearhead loaded with some others will cause many main menu options to disappear, will probably be resolved in a matter of days

[open temple]

how do i change the gun i use for a steam mission

[uncut trellis]

typically you cant unless the mission is designed in way that you have fully open arsenal to choose your gear from

[open temple]

oh ok bc i getting tired of this stupid base rifle

[pine kite]

Server doesn't seem to be online. At least that number. Maybe it got reassigned for Spearhead 1944?

[opal igloo]

there was 8 ppl in the server and it's the official server , for some reason i only have this problem when i try to join escape mod

[pine kite]

For your server to show up in his server browser you probably need to have UPnP working in your router, or manually port forward the right ports for Arma 3 (UDP range 2302-2306). Some people have a special type of Internet connection that doesn't allow this to work anyway (Carrier grade NAT). For them the only solution is to use VPN-like solution like Hamachi or Zero-Tier. Or spend the money and rent a server hosted on the internet for Arma 3.

[pine kite]

Well, I've had the launcher serverbrowser search for "arma 3 cp by" under official servers for 5 minutes now and it only found 4 out of 80 servers. But not number #03 EU.

[pine kite]

Fair enough. If you can see it and others are playing on it then it probably works. I don't know why you get that blank role/unit selection screen though.

[modern echo]

#arma3_official_servers

[dim hemlock]

after the last update (spearhead 44 launch), turret controls are very slow and choppy

I'll double check vanilla game, no mods, no DLC loaded

I've tried the gunner and commander seat on a slammer, gunner seat on hunter, gunner on blackfoot, heavy MG on tripod.... all turrets seem to be broken

[dim hemlock]

confirmed still happening with no mods or DLC loaded

running file verification to be sure

[dim hemlock]

everything validated okay

[mossy pilot]

everytime i make a server fro online it says my router is messed up or smt

[dim hemlock]

I'll try asking in the forum

[dim hemlock]

I think I found the problem. turns out arma 3 doesn't like running at over 200 fps

[umbral narwhal]

Not usually a concern :P

[river shore]

my mic doesnt work in-game (it works everywhere else), I already have it default on both the PC settings and steam settings and it didn't seem to fix it

[steady hawk]

Check the pinned for frequently asked troubleshooting

[river shore]

I did, and it tells me to do what I've already tried that's why I asked here

[steady hawk]

And that wasn't you've said already, anyways

• Are you 100% sure that microphone is working?
• Are you 100% sure Windows says it is the default microphone?
• Are you 100% sure you are the only one who can't use VOIP in-game?
• Are you 100% sure your in-game channel is correct?

[river shore]

• yes it works everywhere except Arma 3
• yes, I've checked multiple times and since it's the only mic connected to the PC anyways there arent any others that would be default
• yes since I've been playing on a public server and a lot of people use the voice chat there constantly
• yes I was speaking on the right channels, I know that because when I typed what I was saying people would answer but when I asked something on voice chat no one answered
  (I tried to set my mic gain in the game settings to max in case it just wasnt high enough and didnt work either)

[steady hawk]

Just in case have you set it to default before or after you launch Arma 3?

[river shore]

both, also it's the only mic on my PC so there isnt any other mic it could default to

[steady hawk]

Hmm

[river shore]

I've thought of the possibility that maybe the voice gain is low and tried to crank it up to the max both in-game settings and PC and steam settings but it didnt seem to fix it

[pine kite]

Some webcams also come with microphones. Or they are hidden in the screen frame of a laptop. It doesn't have to be connected by cable to be a device for Windows.

[quaint jewel]

Something must be up.
" The cloud file provider is not running." appeared on discord 3 times just yesterday.
I also got two FT tickets about it from yesterday.
Microsoft be messin with us.

[pine kite]

Microsoft messes period.

[open temple]

i tried to load a map and got this exit code

[quaint jewel]

send the report

that the message popup tells you to send

@river shore i fixed mine by clicking that button, just follow the step

[night depot]

17:35:34 Warning Message: Addon 'ace_compat_sog' requires addon 'loadorder_f_vietnam'

What does this mean?

[fierce trout]

Hello!, i'm having troubles ussing vehicles

i'm trying to test some of then

and i've faced this problem: the vehicles I place on ZEUS does not allow me to hop in

is this due to a new update?

[quaint jewel]

It means the "ACE compatability mod for SOG Prairie Fire CDLC, requires the SOG Prairie Fire CDLC and you don't have it loaded"

[quaint jewel]

no. You're the first one with it

[night depot]

It's loaded both on my client and server

Do I need so sign a key for it?

[quaint jewel]

That message says its not loaded. In so far 100% of cases, the message has been correct and the human made some mistake and it wasn't actually loaded

[fierce trout]

neither get out of it as the driver if i teleport inside of the vehicle as a ZEUS

[quaint jewel]

no

Sounds like some mod is locking veehicles

[night depot]

well its loaded

The mission is set for the dlc

[golden nova]

if it was loaded you wouldn't get an error.

try using a command line of sorts instead of this "control panel", I'd say it does not work if you selected proper option and yet it still causes you a trouble. If you don't have access to any other method then contact your service provider.

[umbral narwhal]

Only the RPT tells you whether a mod is loaded.

Usually it'll also tell you why not.

[fierce trout]

fixed it, it was actually that the vehicles where defaulting to being locked, thanks
now, on other question, are there ways to aim a BM-21 with no ballistic computer?

[quaint jewel]

Okey there is a green checkbox that says it should be loaded.
Doesn't mean its loaded, that control panel will probably have some bug where it tells you it loads it, while it doesn't actually do it

[night depot]

Should there be a folder called "VN" in my server? because there isn't and that might be the cause

I'll just contact support, I was hoping to get this fixed quickly by doing it myself

[quaint jewel]

yes

[fringe salmon]

hey if i have so problems anyone know how to fix that? its the action menu: when i press the middle mouse button ( the mouse scroll wheel button ) the action menu pops up but i cant scroll up and down and i dont find the settings too

[split kiln]

how do i fix that

i have restarted the game multiple times and usually it worked but this time it didnt

[golden nova]

I guess that's a DLC vehicle, if you have any mods loaded disable them and try again - if it fixes itself it means you have a broken mod

[split kiln]

well

i have 100gb of mods

soooooooo

yeah

thank you for your advise

i have 93 mods

and last time i booted up the game

all of them worked

[split kiln]

taht i use

[split kiln]

its still weird @golden nova

nvm

the contrast just was to high

[river shore]

I have a desktop, no webcams or mics

[river shore]

thanks I'll try that

[frozen latch]

so reddit redirected me here for more specific help. the story campaign is barely functioning and i already verified my files and i have no mods running because i JUST got the game. he said he couldnt help further and to ask here

[umbral narwhal]

what's the problem?

[frozen latch]

takes ages for stuff to happen, waiting for tasks to start, waiting for it to acknowledge i completed a task, waiting for it to tell me what the task is, huge gaps of time between dialogue. it took almost an hour to beat the tutorial because it was so slow and the first mission wasnt much better. the second mission is in a complete deadlock after it asks me to open the map.

[umbral narwhal]

curious. What frame rate is it running at, typically?

[frozen latch]

im not sure. the gameplay itself was running fine, it was the dialogue and events that were struggling

[umbral narwhal]

Can you paste your RPT log file? Should be able to find them in Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Arma 3

[frozen latch]

where woild that be. i cant seem to find it

[umbral narwhal]

System drive. If you can't find AppData then turn on "show hidden files" in explorer.

[frozen latch]

which one are you looking for?

[umbral narwhal]

Whichever one you had the problems with. There's one for each time you started Arma.

"date modified" will be the time Arma was shut down.

[frozen latch]

heres the latest one

[umbral narwhal]

Closest thing I found to a problem:

17:58:08 InitSound ...
17:58:09 Selected Audio Output: Headset Earphone (Corsair VOID Wireless Gaming Dongle) - Channels: 2, Freq: 48000
17:58:10 Error: Mastering voice creation failed - no sound will be played, with error: 800706be.
17:58:10 Warning: Audio device creation failed, attempt to create default audio:
17:58:10 SamplesPerSec: 44100, channels: 2
17:58:12 Error: Mastering voice creation failed - no sound will be played, with error: 800706be.
17:58:12 InitSound - complete

Do you have another audio device you can test with?

Although how that would cause script timings to get dumpstered, I don't know.

[still pine]

is there a way to fix arma 3 poor optimization?

[umbral narwhal]

Yes but they're not gonna do it.

[still pine]

i mean that i can do to maybe increase a bit of the fps ik that they dont care about this game

[frozen latch]

unfortunately my pc audio isn't working right now so i was just going of the subtitles

and have nothing else i can use

[umbral narwhal]

shrugs

Seems unlikely but the rest of the RPT is kinda pristine

[frozen latch]

weird. i hopr its not that because i will be awhile before i get a new pc

[umbral narwhal]

Old rule about fixing stuff that's obviously broken first :P

[umbral narwhal]

Set object view distance as low as you can stand.

[frozen latch]

thanks for trying though

[fringe salmon]

Has anybody else had issues opening the Eden editor after the CDLC was released?

[steady hawk]

Define issue, define the CDLC

[fringe salmon]

The new One. the WW2 one. I also tried the game in vanilla and whenever i open the eden editor it results in the game screen going black temporarily, and then Bringing the loading screen with the loading bar fully completed. I've just left it to do its thing for 20 whole minutes and it never loaded. Despite only taking 30 seconds or so usually.

Verified integrity of my game files, Turned off mods, No DLC enabled outside of the default ones and yet the game wont load the eden editor no matter what i do

[quaint jewel]

Send RPT

[rustic eagle]

Arma RPT

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

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

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

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

[fringe salmon]

Weird. im seeing something about a cloud file provider exiting. im at 95% full on that. could that have any impact?

[dark veldt]

the intro voice thingy is playing for my friend constantly

[lime sphinx]

most frequent source of unwanted sounds is steam overlay (shift+tab) playing some video in its browser 🙃

[fringe salmon]

What intro voice?

[dark veldt]

he says the steam trailer voice thingy is playing nonstop

[dark veldt]

ill tell him this

[quaint jewel]

Yes. Microsoft OneDrive.
They did a update a few days ago and since then we have TONS of people reporting issues. It breaks your My Documents folder (where Arma stores profile info and... Eden editor missions)

[fringe salmon]

Any fixes since I looked into it and yea it sure does

[quaint jewel]

turn it off

exclude that arma directory somehow

move your profiles directory elsewhere. Arma launcher has -profiles= parameter

[open temple]

i installed new mods for arma3 but the didnt go to the !workshop folder anyfixs?

[open temple]

And my dlcs arnt showing

[sour jay]

So i've been getting the known error "battleeye, client not responding". I tried every fix on youtube, reddit and everything but nothing seems to be working.

I've verified the files, deleted battleye and reinstalled it again, turned the batteye enabled button on and off, restarted pc, restarted router but nothing works.

[quaint jewel]

Make sure steam is running, maybe restart it

[little ore]

How to fix server connection fail

[quaint jewel]

yes

[little ore]

It keep saying connection fail to server

[little ore]

How to fix it?

[pine kite]

Try other servers to confirm it is a global fail. If so it is probably your internet connection/ISP or your own computer that is causing the blockage. If you can connect to other servers, choose those servers instead.

[fierce trout]

Hello, now i'm facing another issue, the RHS BM-21 cannot preciselly aim the artillery without a artillery computer, is this a oversight by RHS?

[pine kite]

Nice error message, I'm sure it means something. If only we knew about the context of it.

[fierce trout]

from what it says it probably means either the mod was missinstalled,? or that you need the other one

[marsh igloo]

anybody know fix?

[steady hawk]

Usually because you're running two Arma 3's and one is accessing so one cannot

[marsh igloo]

do you mean the launcher and game collide with each other?

[steady hawk]

No

Two Arma 3's, not Arma 3 and Arma 3 Launcher

[marsh igloo]

well I'm only running one instance of the game

[steady hawk]

Are you 100% sure?

[marsh igloo]

yes

[steady hawk]

As the error says, any server running?

[marsh igloo]

not that I'm aware of no

[steady hawk]

Then as the error says your profile folder may simply protected

[marsh igloo]

I've given it acces via controlled folder and such and my security hasn't stopped it recently

[steady hawk]

Are you 100% sure? Do you know which folder it is?

[marsh igloo]

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3

[steady hawk]

No

This is Arma 3's folder

Not profile's

[marsh igloo]

where is it then

[steady hawk]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Profile

[marsh igloo]

when I go to My documents there is no arma 3 folder

[steady hawk]

Are you 100% sure?

[marsh igloo]

yes i am

[steady hawk]

Are you sure you're looking at your user's My Documents?

[marsh igloo]

yes

[steady hawk]

Have you ever moved your profile folder?

[marsh igloo]

not that I remember

[steady hawk]

Or, have you set this?

[marsh igloo]

The box is unchecked

[steady hawk]

Then look carefully around My Documents

If you have multiple drives, check others than C too

[ocean cosmos]

i didnt know you could move your profile folder

[steady hawk]

You apparently can

[ocean cosmos]

maybe i can move my 4gb of arma missions onto my hard drive

[marsh igloo]

It simply isn't therer

[steady hawk]

D:\Users\[redacted]\Documents\Arma 3 here is mine, not used but default one

[marsh igloo]

I'm there but no folders

[steady hawk]

Then use search function

[marsh igloo]

I only have another arma 3 folder in %appdata%/local

this is content

[steady hawk]

Does it have Users in it?

[marsh igloo]

yes

[steady hawk]

Do you have your current profile in it?

[marsh igloo]

how to recognise?

[steady hawk]

Wait I think there is more easier way to recognize

Open up Eden Editor, do you have any of existed mission?

[marsh igloo]

No all gone

I think wait

let me check

hold on I didn't get the message I used to get

@steady hawk you are a legend, you helped me fix my game

[steady hawk]

I did nuthing

[marsh igloo]

yes you did, that checkbox in the parameters, I just put the folder addres in there and it worked

witj-hout you I would have never found that

[steady hawk]

Mhm, have fun anyways

[marsh igloo]

thank you

[quaint jewel]

That's rpt folder, it shouldn't have users

[steady hawk]

Yeah I wasn't sure if that was it

[quaint jewel]

@marsh igloo Are you using Microsoft OneDrive?
They updated a few days ago and since then tons of people have issues with their documents folders (where Arma stores your profile)

[steady hawk]

Oh really? I haven't heard any of it yet

[ocean cosmos]

inb4 onedrive just completely deleted the profile

[quaint jewel]

You have definitely seen the large amount of people in here and #arma3_questions that ask about "cloud file provider not running" errors

[steady hawk]

But the error doesn't showed that

[quaint jewel]

I counted like 8 the last 3 days. Also half dozen crash reports on FT

It's the same thing though

It's all F'ed documents folder

[steady hawk]

Well anyways if you're good with this let you handle that

[quaint jewel]

Sometimes throws error at Startup, sometimes crashes the game. Sometimes just doesn't let you save your profile

It's a good idea for any problem that involves documents folder, to ask for one drive first

We also updated the "cloud file provider" error message to tell users about it

[ocean cosmos]

doesnt arma have problems if the profile save is on a different drive to the game installation as well or was that something else?

[quaint jewel]

Don't think so

[pine kite]

Do you have a Onedrive folder that it could be hidden in? I wouldn't be surprised if Onedrive keeps the files locked. Though usually you get other errors with Onedrive causing issues.

As always, I'm late in suggesting stuff.

[marsh igloo]

@quaint jewel it's ok, problem has been fixed

[quaint jewel]

Problem has been workarounded but I wanna know what the cause was

[fringe salmon]

Some of my players are a... little blind and want me to source and add a mod that I can use to put a drone or aircraft up and illuminate (via IR) their objectives and targets. While I aint opposed to helping them out if they wanna use their support tickets to get it I haven't don't much flying so apart from hearing it's possible se they have seen it on arma 3 YouTube videos I don't know where to start. Do I need mods or can I do this with vanilla assets and can I set up ai to pilot and "paint" ground targets or do I have to remote control it??

[marsh igloo]

I probably deleted the save folder

[modest burrow]

can someone please tell me why my steam wont download steam workshop mods!!!!!! is it a corrupt file and in what folder i need help please

[tribal condor]

Anybody know why units keep exploding a bit after death ?

[umbral narwhal]

Units rather than vehicles?

[tribal condor]

Yes

Like they blow up in a 155mm fashion and kill everything next to them

I think its a problem with KAT tbh

KAT advanced medical

[grim pumice]

Hello all would anyone be able to help me fix this RHS PIP where if I point downwards the gun itself blocks the view and if I point it straight ahead it show a clear picture

[golden nova]

might be an issue with one of other mods you're running along withh RHS. Like the scope and/or gun have badly configured PiP

[grim pumice]

I've tried multiple mods that could cause this issue but still nothing

I'm not sure how to configure pip

[golden nova]

it's up to the person who made that scope

[grim pumice]

It's an RHS scope

[mental river]

Try repairing your mods

[rustic eagle]

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

[mental river]

Do the first one (full game repair to check all mods at once)

[red ginkgo]

Any good tips for fps issues?

[pine kite]

lower rendering ranges.

Don't lower the graphics options too far. It shifts the processing to the CPU rather than GPU, which means it gets bottlenecked. And it already is single core limited mostly.

[red ginkgo]

Did that but it doesnt change my fps at all

[uncut trellis]

You will need to get a bug report to them so they can investigate. Try their homepage or steam workshop page

[grim pumice]

Thank you for the help

[languid vale]

does moving arma to my SSD help with framerate at all or does it just improve load times?

[ocean cosmos]

helps with object loading times or something like that which can improve fps/reduce stuttering

[languid vale]

okay cool

cheers

[modest patio]

any help?

getting this code right after

[quaint jewel]

loading a broken mod

[modest patio]

but it did it when i had no mods loaded

thats where i was confused

[quaint jewel]

Either some mod is loaded

or game files are corrupted

Verify files in steam, try again. If still broken send

!rpt

[modest patio]

i tried verifying before but i had the game running, its much slower now so thats probably what i missed

thank you lord dedmen

[fringe salmon]

how do i change the monitor

for the game

it loads on my secondary one but i cant get it onto my first

[novel dagger]

im trying to get on to a server but keep getting this error

but i have all the listed mods downloaded...any help would be really appreciated

[brave hawk]

@fringe salmon here 🙂

[modest burrow]

how and they're steam mods not mine i was playing perfectly fine i have Hella hours on this but out of nowhere this just happened, i can play just not with mods

i have verified steam files the integrity files, i have deleted and re downloaded and some done soo much what did i do ugh

[mental river]

there's a message right below what I said that explains it

[modest burrow]

oh ok let me try

nothing happens when i press repair im looking at steam too

whats supposed to happen

@mental river sorry not trying to bug but whats next

i pressed repair and none

[mental river]

steam tries to repair stuff if anything is broken, check the downloads section of steam

there's no guarantee that it'll work for you. I'm not sure what the problem is

[modest burrow]

anyone know what this mean??? disk write error

[fringe salmon]

my game no work help

[mental river]

do you use OneDrive?

it could be the problem

[mental river]

something could be wrong with your .net framework installation

try reinstalling it (or update)

check your remaining memory by typing "Create or format hard disk partitions" or by typing "systeminfo" in a terminal assuming your on windows

idk i have it downloaded to my d drive its a hard drive connected to my pc

[modest burrow]

then what im looking at it

should i move to my local drive?

[steady hawk]

That's not what Leopard asked. You can answer that in Yes or No

[brave dome]

On an Exile server we've set Spearhead up, I tried using one of the vehicles but when in gunner view this happens with all of them, has anyone else had the same issue and if so, how do I fix it?

It happens in any gunner, main or machine gunner

[modest burrow]

no

[brave dome]

Nevermind, it seems to be agraphics setting issue, when I changed PIP quality it fixed itself

[fringe salmon]

onedrive bad unstill for work pc

[modest burrow]

it worked holy shit thank you soooooooooooooooo much man

[uncut trellis]

external usb drive?

[copper wedge]

so i been having problems with my mic talking a went throu and looked and my input and output are right now nothing a can hear fine but not talk every other game work fine but arma 3 is the one game that dont work i need help

[tacit echo]

@steady hawk idk what the hell happened to the audio quality, also i had to make it really short because discord is petty about file sizes

[steady hawk]

Audio or video quality don't matter, if you and me and we can see the issue. And, where is the issue?

[tacit echo]

notice how i can hear the helicopter from the sides but when i move my camera to the back or walk to the front of the helicopter i cant hear it at all

i disabled all of my mods

[steady hawk]

I can?

[tacit echo]

theres the weird static sound but no heli sound

[steady hawk]

I mean not my game. Your video says the helicopter sounds very finely

Where actually you cannot hear the sound? Left? Right? Front? Back?

And is it happening only for that helicopter? Or anything/anywhere?

[tacit echo]

front and back and it is every helicopter

[steady hawk]

Then your audio is very misconfigured I'd assume

Since your video is 100% fine

[tacit echo]

in the video the sound is gone when i point the camera towards the back of the heli

no blade sound only weird static from bad video quality

[steady hawk]

Again, I can hear 100%

[golden nova]

You're probably playing with audio surround enabled in your pc settings, probably virtual, since the video is okay.

Switch to stereo and you'll be good

[tacit echo]

oh what the

[steady hawk]

I don't know if is soundcard or GPU or something else, but probably what he said

[tacit echo]

weird because on my pc the video plays weirdly

but on my phone i can hear it

[steady hawk]

You see? More like you hear?

[tacit echo]

where do i go to change that

[golden nova]

Idk, what headphones do you have

[tacit echo]

im using a pair of logitech headphones

[golden nova]

Then you should have their software installed

[tacit echo]

yeah i have g hub

[golden nova]

Go into its settings and look for surround/7.1 options and disable them

[tacit echo]

this is how it is with the problem

[steady hawk]

You're only using left and right, right?

Since it is a headphones, not 5.1 or 7.1 or something

[tacit echo]

yeah its headphones

[golden nova]

G pro X or something else?

[tacit echo]

g432

its weird because it worked fine before and i never changed anything

[steady hawk]

It should have 7.1 surround system, try to find it and if is enabled or not

[tacit echo]

look at the picture above

surround sound is off

[steady hawk]

“I never changed anything” is not even a concern if you have the issue RIGHT NOW

[tacit echo]

if i turn it on the audio quality is really bad

[steady hawk]

How about Windows?
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/how-to-turn-on-spatial-sound-in-windows-10-ca2700a0-6519-448d-5434-56f499d59c96

[tacit echo]

i think i may have fixed it

the video is playing fine now

[steady hawk]

What was that?

[tacit echo]

i enabled surround sound within g hub

i can hear the heli from all directions now but it is a little quiet even with all volume settings in arma maxed but this could just be the heli

[steady hawk]

Just in case check this too

[tacit echo]

let me try a different heli

[tacit echo]

ok i turned it on

i will test it

[tacit echo]

turning that on did not fix it however turning on surround sound in g hub did

[steady hawk]

Okay so you're now hearing the chopper just like you can on your phone?

[tacit echo]

so far yes

[steady hawk]

Then good, case closed?

[tacit echo]

maybe

[steady hawk]

Have a good gaming

[tacit echo]

thanks for the help

probably what happened is g hub settings got reset when i unplugged the headphones

something about the audio is still off

[golden nova]

well the surround sound is virtual so it will sound awful no matter what you try

[tacit echo]

i wonder why it worked before

[golden nova]

stuff gets updated every time and you won't notice it until you restart your pc

[tacit echo]

i noticed the helicopter is still quiet if im not in it and i look at it

but if i look away i can hear it

[golden nova]

are you on win10? If you click on the speaker icon on your windows taskbar, do you have any surround/spatial sound thing enabled?

[steady hawk]

That's what I've suggested already but anyways

[tacit echo]

it didnt work when i turned spatial sound on

[golden nova]

you can click on Sounds, go to the playback tab or whhatever its called and go through the properties for your headphones

alternatively right click and do test or configuration

[tacit echo]

in this the forward is really quiet

[steady hawk]

Turning on and off may solve too

[golden nova]

do you have them plugged in through that funky logitech dongle?

try directly into your pc's jack port

[tacit echo]

if i do that theres just no audio at all

[golden nova]

are you restarting the game between all these sound changes?

or do you mean the video?

[tacit echo]

hold on

[golden nova]

if you plug headphones into another port you have to select them again from the sounds dropdown in your windows task bar.

just like you would change the output device.

[tacit echo]

yeah i did select it

when i click the volume slider it makes that ding

but

the speaker setup surround sound thing doesnt make any sound and the video sounds weird again

[tacit echo]

now my headphones are just screwed up everywhere even outside of arma

@golden nova did arma break my headphones or something because now everything sounds super low quality and when i watch a youtube video only the music plays and i cant hear the talking

i reinstalled the drivers and everything

[golden nova]

I don't know what you did before my last message and now but I doubt Arma would do anything to your PC. It's either the Logitech software or just your headphones.

Do you have any other pair of normal headphones with jack port or speakers?

[tacit echo]

computer sounds are still fine like when i click the volume scroller it sounds fine

but every other pc sound is weird

[tacit echo]

no

some videos work fine

so the speakers shouldnt be blown out

[golden nova]

since it's not just an Arma issue anymore you might want to go to #offtopic_software. You could try uninstalling the GHub and uninstalling your headphones through the Device Manager so your system would "forget" your headphones, restart the pc with headphones unplugged and then plug them in.

[tacit echo]

okay

[tacit echo]

cant believe a dumb little arma issue evolved into this 💀

[pine kite]

It wasn't an arma issue to begin with. As the video was fine.

[tacit echo]

but other applications and stuff worked fine before i launched arma and started messing with speaker settings

[tacit echo]

didnt work lol

im gonna try to find a diff pair of headphones

im ngl i think my headphones just killed themselves

ive tried literally everything i can think of

kinda lame because i havent even owned them for a solid year

its just strange because its only the front surround sound thing causing issues

left and right speakers seem to work fine

[spice warren]

so my friend is playing on a mac, and she doesnt get the normal arma 3 launcher? it just brings her straight into arma, so she cant load any mods properly, how can we fix this?

[pine kite]

There was a recently made channel or thread or pinned message about the mac version having received an update. But since I can't fathom Apple stuff I never bothered to dig further into it. A search for Apple should narrow this down.

see announcement: #announcements message

[golden nova]

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

[spice warren]

so we just went there and got stuck on the files "application support" part

steam isnt in there

[tacit echo]

so i messed around with the balance and seemed to fix it? sorry still wrong channel i know

[golden nova]

then ask in #linux_mac_branch, I don't have mac and that's a pretty experimental port of the game.

[tacit echo]

i plugged the jack straight into my pc instead of the dongle thing aswell

[mint smelt]

I can only see sky when loading in to the server, yesterday it was working perfectly fine now i have this, any ideas?

[steady hawk]

It just could be “the server”'s decision or settings

[mint smelt]

Oh so nothing i can do about it then i guess ?

[steady hawk]

Nobody but you or “the server”'s owner can guess

Because your “issue” has literally zero info, we cannot answer than that

[mint smelt]

No worries thanks anyways

[ashen siren]

Game won't start, here's the troubleshooting thing. Does anyone know the problem?

or could it just be that i have 324 different mods downloaded?

[quaint jewel]

"could it be" you can easily cehck that yourself.

I can look at that report tomorrow

[ashen siren]

well i don't know how to check that, but thanks see you tmrw then.

[quaint jewel]

Don't load many mods

[ashen siren]

I figured that, do you know about how many mods the game is able to load?

[quaint jewel]

thousands

[ashen siren]

I believe i have about 120 gb of mods downloaded.

damn

''includefile pr/frl/addons/main/macros_localhpp not found''

verify game files?

nvm it says addons

[quaint jewel]

either that, or missing mod

usually means you are missing a mod, that another mod depends on

[ashen siren]

aaah, is that mod called macros_local?

[quaint jewel]

no

"pr/frl"

no idea what that's supposed to mean

that's the spot where mod names usually are

[ashen siren]

ooh

well i validated my files and it wasn't that.

[golden nova]

go through the mods you have loaded your game with and look for anything that would have FRL in its name or within files.

[ashen siren]

will do

[golden nova]

my guess would be the Frontline gamemode from workshop if it somehow ended up on your mod list

[ashen siren]

i believe i deleted that because it hindered another mod to load

it was still there

deleted it now

I'll try to run the game

[golden nova]

and regarding this, your game can crash with a single mod if you are unfortunate enough. Arma is not some Skyrim magic that will run no matter what you want, the less mods you need the better. It's faster to Alt+F4 the game and load another set of mods to play something else than having everything loaded at once.

[ashen siren]

ah okay. Freepoland 1944 needs another mod now. i don't get it, if the mod (free poland 1944) depends on another mod why doesnt the red thing by the check mark appear from the beginning?

in the mods tab

[golden nova]

it's up to its mod author to list the dependencies, otherwise the game won't figure out what is needed and what isn't

[ashen siren]

so the author was just lazy i guess lol

[golden nova]

such things should disqualify a mod from using it because if author didn't think about something so crucial then everythihng else must be an awful mess.

[ashen siren]

I'll just hope for the best

dude, I'm searching for l_free poland 19444 in my mods tab but i can't find it.

and why does my mods keep unloading everytime i close the launcher

[fringe salmon]

guys can someone help me

[copper wedge]

so i been having problems with my mic talking a went throu and looked and my input and output are right now nothing a can hear fine but not talk every other game work fine but arma 3 is the one game that dont work i need help

[still hawk]

What's up with the water here?

[steady hawk]

I don't see anything wrong

[umbral narwhal]

gonna guess z-fighting but probably more obvious in motion.

Hard problem for graphics drivers anyway.

[still hawk]

Guess it's not that big a deal

just distracting haha

cheers

[golden nova]

you could try setting terrain quality on max if it isn't but yeah this will happen with really shallow water

[uncut trellis]

ye shallow water and at distance simplified ground makes a lot more clipping

[true kettle]

I've been uploading our unit logo (800x800, PNG and 174 KB)

And somehow it will not show up ingame

It will show up in launcher no problem, but not ingame at all

It's not a client sided issue as well, as no one can see if anyone wears it (Not just me)

The Logo in the middle

I uploaded a scaled down version as well (400x400) and it did not work as well

[ashen siren]

Exit code: 0x0000DEAD - Unknown
does anyone know what thhis means?

[umbral narwhal]

Just means that Arma closed itself intentionally due to a previous error.

It's the previous message that's important.

this?

[umbral narwhal]

nope.

[fringe salmon]

Mate of mine if having access violation error any ideas on fixs?

[steady hawk]

STATUS ACCESS VIOLATION error itself only provides the fact that the game did a CTD. So we cannot say what is the cause

You need to have more info, like Mods, situations, SP/MP, specs etc etc

[iron trellis]

No mods just dcl's, when i just press launch it doesnt work, when i join a server (MP) it doesnt work. Specs as in pc specs?

13e generatie Intel® Core™ i9-13900K processor (24 cores, 32 MB cache, 3,0 GHz tot 5,4 GHz)
NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4080, 16 GB GDDR6X
32 GB

i didnt have this yesterday, and havent done anything different since then as far as i know of

[steady hawk]

Then try to verify just in case

[iron trellis]

on steam i did a verify and nothing wrong with the files

[steady hawk]

Just DLCs you say, what DLCs you have?

[iron trellis]

All but Tac-Ops mission pack

and no cdlc's

[steady hawk]

I'm not asking about “Regular DLCs” but “Optional DLCs”

[iron trellis]

ah none

[steady hawk]

So completely vanilla?

[iron trellis]

ye

[steady hawk]

And when you click the PLAY it will just tells you STATUS ACCESS VIOLATION?

[iron trellis]

yes

that picture i send in general

[steady hawk]

I'm not asking about the pic but the fact

[iron trellis]

yes it says both access violation

[steady hawk]

Are you 100% sure?

Any parameters you have?

[iron trellis]

yhea, debug and script errors params are enabled

[steady hawk]

Debug? Why?

[iron trellis]

for more error logging

or more detailed*

[steady hawk]

Try to remove ALL prameters

[iron trellis]

k

works now

how can those 2 break launching the game?

[steady hawk]

¯_(ツ)_/¯ Don't ask me, I don't know the source code

[iron trellis]

🤷‍♂️ well it works, thanks fro the help

ig ill just keep them off for a while and check tmrw when i re-enable them

[daring jungle]

I'm running a docker for a dedicated server, and while it runs perfectly when vanilla, whenever I add any mods I get this problem error

anyone know a fix?

[thorn raft]

Hey guys, got trouble with SP Scenarios saving

Hunter Six
OPEX and some other Suscribed Scenarios that have saving options doesnt save at all every relaunch of arma 3 resets it

tried with modded(because OPEX said so) and non modded

[pine kite]

Better ask in the comments of the scenario workshop page how saving is supposed to work. Some use the regular save option. Others use a method to save the state to a different file (profilename.vars.arma3profile). If your profile goes corrupt somehow then that is probably lost. Make sure you do a neat shutdown of the scenario. Or do the persistent save through the right menu/interface.

[fossil kayak]

Hey, arma 3 crash status acces vaiolation

[brave hawk]

this is not google

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_Process_Exit#0xC0000005_-_ACCESS_VIOLATION

[uncut trellis]

@brave hawk u no google bot? 😲

[brave hawk]

not officially

[dire holly]

after i got global mobilization dlc my sound has been quiet

[surreal schooner]

I try to set up a server but it gives me a "Fail setup check upnp" or something of the sort and me and my friend cant figure it out we are on day twoof trying to solve the issue, if im right its a setting in arma but I cant remember what it is exactly

[steady hawk]

What do you mean by "got"? Bought or loaded?

[dire holly]

both

@steady hawk

[steady hawk]

So after you load GM you can't hear anything?

[dire holly]

no

i never said that

i said its quieter

or thats what i meant

[steady hawk]

You only said quiet, but understood

[dire holly]

sorry for the misunderstanding

[steady hawk]

I'm not asking you to apology either

[dire holly]

sorry

[steady hawk]

I'm not... anyways

Is it entirely quiter? Or in some/certain situation?

[dire holly]

entirely

everything

yes i checked sound mixer

[steady hawk]

In-game Audio settings?

[dire holly]

i checked those too

[steady hawk]

Mods?

[dire holly]

nope

i have no mods

[steady hawk]

Then verify

[dire holly]

wdym verify

[steady hawk]

!steamverify

[rustic eagle]

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

[dire holly]

oh

can i do that while the game is running

[steady hawk]

No

[dire holly]

all issues are null and void since i discovered the p2a1 experimental

[steady hawk]

?

[dire holly]

do you have the global mobilization dlc?

[steady hawk]

I'm asking I don't know what you mean

[dire holly]

p2a1 experimental is in launchers

yknow that flare gun

they made it a massive anti tank launcher

and its hilarious

[steady hawk]

And?

How it is related with your issue?

Is it too hard to answer in yes or no?

[dire holly]

sorry

[steady hawk]

I'm not asking you to say sorry, but yes or no

[dire holly]

no

[steady hawk]

Then don't ping me for zero reason and derail

[dire holly]

sory

[steady hawk]

I was here to help, to solve your “quiet” audio, now you're behaving like nothing but enjoying the CDLC

That's good, that's good, enjoy the CDLC.

[modest burrow]

Yea

[dire holly]

i found a nuke script

[sour jay]

Any thoughts?

Can votekicking cause this?

[golden nova]

It means that JIP is locked, as in you cant join when mission is started.

[next spindle]

i cant open arma it continues to "Not Respond"

any tips or help

[umbral narwhal]

Remove all your mods and try again.

[steady hawk]

This is a troubleshooting channel not your diary.

[shrewd lagoon]

i got a question my game said i got kicked (game restart required :battleeye

how do i fix that

[steady hawk]

Enable BattlEye from Launcher

[shrewd lagoon]

how do i do that

[steady hawk]

I said Launcher, do you know what Arma 3 Launcher is?

[shrewd lagoon]

yes

[steady hawk]

Then you see BattlEye tab

[shrewd lagoon]

yes

hold i think i fixed it

[shrewd lagoon]

nvm

@steady hawk

[steady hawk]

Are you saying you've fixed or not?

[shrewd lagoon]

no

it worked for 6 mins the n my game froze

then

now it is back to the same problem

[steady hawk]

1. Close the game
2. Enable BattlEye
3. Relaunch the game
4. Try a server
   Have you done these steps?

[shrewd lagoon]

now it says faield to launch

battleeye

maybe it might work

[obtuse crag]

Ok I have been having trouble with my TFAR not working in vehicle and it becomes all static when I try to talk but I can hear other people just fine

[quaint jewel]

Turn of TeamSpeak microphone echo stuff

[obtuse crag]

Ok thanks

Ill try that

[orchid void]

Question:
A friend of mine who´s usually not online enough to ask for help has an issue with Arma 3s user interface:

He has a large ass display/resolution (windows pc) on a two display setup (but most likely plays on one monitor) , and the upper (right) area of Arma 3´s interface (ammo counter, weapon display, etc) is only showing up partially at most.
Is there some sort of known issue/fix related to that?

[golden vale]

Arma 3 has an adjustable HUD he can simply move it over to where he can see it in the settings

[hybrid kettle]

Hello me and a friend are trying to get antistasi plus to work with RHS but RHS is not loading onto our server properly eventho all the files are in the mods section does anyone know how to fix this

[golden vale]

is your server on linux or windows ?

[hybrid kettle]

linux

this is not the right screenshot cause the other two mods needed for it to work were also installed earlier it just gave the same error message

[golden vale]

was rhs working fine before or did you just now try adding to the server ?

check if rhs is properly installed on the server and if installed if its loaded aswell may simply need a server restart

[hybrid kettle]

i was able to run RHS on my own in the editor just fine

[hybrid kettle]

to me it seemed like it was properly installed i even redid it like 3 different times

server was also restarted on mutliple occasions

[untold fractal]

Show (post) your server logs. Use something like sqfbin/pastebin.

[pine kite]

You probably need more RHS mods, like AFRF and NATO for it to work with GREF and SAF. At least, you need the 3 (SAF not required) to get it to work on the community version.

[vivid vapor]

hello there, i have dumb arma moments. im seting up server on linux for first time. every thing was going fine until i started adding mods. in cosnole, server with mission is starting correcly. it shows in server list but when im joining and taking slot(gunner for example), mission is loading but game is crashing all time. 0 weird errors in rpt on client and server side. im 100% sure its not client side problem because we tried with multiple pc's, same result all time. crash with no error. mods are fine because we used this modpack on our older server. can someone help?

[magic hill]

Someone please help me out, Everytime I open the game the launcher crashes and then immediately reopens only then to immediately crash in a constant loop. The game is unplayable and the answers I got here and other arma communities have not worked

[golden vale]

have you tried verifying game files

[magic hill]

Tes

Yes*

[golden vale]

Hmm then i really dont know if you havent tried fully reinstalling the game i'd suggest that but otherwise maybe check if your antivirus isnt doing weird shit or some sort of anticheat for another game thinks something is wrong

[magic hill]

I have tried fully reinstalling and my antivirus hasn't given any notifications nor any anticheat

[golden vale]

then I dont know what could be causing that issue

[golden vale]

Sounds like the server doesn't have the mods loaded and when it tries to load you into the mission that has the mod dependecies it kicks you but that is purely a guess show your server logs for a more solid answer

[craggy summit]

Hello. I am running into an server issue. My friend is able to direct connect to my server from another network, but cannot see the server in the server browser. Anyone have a direction to point me in to fix this?

[umbral narwhal]

Either steam is broken or you're not forwarding the port+1.

[craggy summit]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1128306044951605308/1137041858388836382/image.png

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1128306044951605308/1137041858841808936/image.png

This is how my ports are setup, can you see anything wrong on them?

Also, is there any way that I can check if the server is visible on the browser without having to bug my friend to check?

thought those would embed

[umbral narwhal]

That might be one of those trash UIs where you need to forward each port independently.

like if you specify internal 2302 and external 2302->2306, it's mapping all those to 2302 internal.

Most of the ports you're forwarding there are unnecessary though.

You really just need 2302 for the game, 2303 and 2304 for steam query and 2306 for battleye (if used).

All UDP-only.

2344-2345 is outgoing not incoming. The others are some cargo cult trash.

[craggy summit]

ah, thanks. ill give that a try

[umbral narwhal]

Also, is there any way that I can check if the server is visible on the browser without having to bug my friend to check?

Loopback probably works.

steam servers, favourites, hit the + button. Add it with external IP and steam query port (2303)

[craggy summit]

thanks

[craggy summit]

It was my ISPs dogwater UI. separating the ports fixed it. Thankyou

[vivid vapor]

Mods are fine loaded, in console everything is ok. If mods dosnt load coreclly there would be „you cannot play/edit this mission”

[golden vale]

Still send the console logs cause if it crashes/kicks people off it could show the reason

If you want you can simply dm them to me

[vivid vapor]

Check dm

[rare zenith]

A mod is not appearing the launcher's mod list for me

I selected the subscribe option when I was off home, with my cellphone. When I turned my pc on, It was downloaded from steam but I can't see it

It's the Liberation mod

[fringe salmon]

so this warloads is supposed to be easy to set up? I have a opfor and blue for as well as a warlord init, and synced all of the sectors, what am I missing? when the game starts, no warlord type affects are ingame

[umbral narwhal]

Liberation is a mission so it doesn't show in the mod list. Should be in the mission selector screens once you're in-game.

(there are some mods with missions built-in. I don't think Liberation is one)

[rare zenith]

Oh, damn, makes sense. Does the people that will play with me needs to download it?

[umbral narwhal]

Nope, missions are transmitted from the server.

[rare zenith]

Thank you

[hybrid kettle]

anyone know how to fix this? It should be antistasi plus but even after redownloading its not working. Worked fine yesterday with the same configurations

[umbral narwhal]

That's workshop mods for you

It updated today. Make sure you're running the same version on client and server.

[hybrid kettle]

okay thanks

[shrewd lagoon]

ok so now

when i join arma 3

@steady hawk it will freeze after i try to hit arma3 launcher

then when i go in game for 5 mins

[steady hawk]

Why you ping me?

[shrewd lagoon]

it will freeze

just wanted to know if u can still help me thats all

[steady hawk]

I do not appreciate if someone pings me for zero reason

[shrewd lagoon]

ok i am sorry

[steady hawk]

“It freezes” only contains the fact it freezes not how or why or when or anything, which is useless

[spice warren]

ok i have ZERO idea why it would be anything with mods, anything related to arma, i am so fed up with the bullcrap. my friends used to be able to join me very easily, server, friends, join, but now, they cant even see the server im hosting, but when i join someone they can somehow see me then WHY

nothing inside the field manual thing even gives you help on that, no settings gives you any kind of help on it

[modern ore]

and its the same port and internet with upnp on as when i host

[spice warren]

theres nothing to even tell you why or how its happening

[umbral narwhal]

well yeah, that's why people rarely get any troubleshooting help.

There's a lot of reasons that the networking can break down and nothing's going to tell you which it is.

And then most people seem to break down on the "do you have admin access to your router" question.

[golden vale]

sadly a lot of people dont realize that "hey something isnt working " isnt enough info for others to help them especially when hosting servers as there can be a lot of simple and hard issues that make a server not work properly or at all

[spice warren]

ah ok

[steady hawk]

"ah ok" is not a proper way to elaborate either

[spice warren]

XD

[spice warren]

idk what else it could be, because it cant be a router thing if it worked before, unless for some reason it changes every now and then on its own

[golden vale]

are you localy hosting or a dedicated server host

[umbral narwhal]

That's kinda the trouble. Windows gets updates, the router gets updates, and your ISP can switch you to CGNAT overnight.

[spice warren]

i just click host server and then internet and UPNP on

[spice warren]

ohh ok

[umbral narwhal]

router is just a buggy computer in your house that gets randomly violated by your ISP

[golden vale]

I suggest recheking all the ports seeing if they are enabled and listening to them

[fluid blaze]

I wanted to host a server so i can play with a friend but he couldn't find the server that i hosted.

[naive escarp]

When starting a server only one of my freinds cannot see my server but everyone else can how do fix this

[pine kite]

Sounds like you used port triggering instead of port forwarding settings in your router.
