arma3_troubleshooting

[sacred jackal]

Hello folks. One question, im playing with mods. When i join my server and i press Numpad ENTER i go to third person. But after a while i can't. But i've realised if i open ACE self-menu and hit Numpad ENTER i can switch to third person....

[steady hawk]

Is this a troubleshooting?

[inland tulip]

drones dont listen to UAV terminal commands in multiplayer. anyone know a fix?

[uncut trellis]

need correct side terminal

[inland tulip]

it's a MQ-9 reaper from the USAF mod.

[inland tulip]

and there is obv only the NATO terminal and not a USAF terminal

[umbral narwhal]

The terminal needs to be for your side.

[inland tulip]

wdym

[umbral narwhal]

you're blufor, opfor or greenfor, right

[inland tulip]

yeah

the terminal is nato

[umbral narwhal]

And what are you?

[inland tulip]

im blufor

the terminal is for the correct side

nato and blufor

the UAV connects to the terminal just fine, I can control it, but it doesn't listen to the CTRL + LEFT CLICK commands

it just gets a mind of its own

[umbral narwhal]

oh.

[uncut trellis]

other mods?

[sacred jackal]

i think so... but since it involved a lot of mods, it might be really hard for you guys to help me out. I'll manage to find a solution..

[uncut trellis]

yeah not really much can be done to debug if mod or mods are breaking vanilla behavior except turn off some and try again

[steady hawk]

Since we don't know what exactly is the issue you want to solve, we can do nothing. Also what HG said

[sacred jackal]

I really don't think its a mod causing this problem, or else i wouldn't ask here. But i'll see

[sacred jackal]

I think i wrote properly the problem that happened. But i'll see if i find a solution. Thanks for the patience

[steady hawk]

Yeah I mean, for me you only stated two facts you have, and didn't told me what is the issue

Num Enter doesn't work to TPP is the issue? Or somehow ACE interaction is doing something with it is the issue?

[sacred jackal]

yes the 3rd person doesnt work when i press numpad

but if i open ace interaction and then press enter (with ace interaction open) it goes to 3rd person

[steady hawk]

Uhmm, how many Mods you have?

[uncut trellis]

it sounds like some mod is disabling the input

[inland tulip]

if ur talking to me, yes, however in the editor it works completely fine. only in multiplayer is where it happens

[unreal flint]

hey, playing on an Antistasi Plus server at the moment, one of my friends cant interact with anything but his inventory. We are all running the same mods and versions(?) but it still doesnt work, any ideas?

[umbral narwhal]

You are probably not running the same version :P

It had an update yesterday.

[dark veldt]

i cant interact with anything via middle mouse button, i am playing an antiastasi plus mod server with my friends and this didnt happen prior to yesterday which we fixed by reloading arma and my friend running the server had to update a mod, which might have fixed it. we have checked we had the same mods and have tried it when my other friend runs the server where it still doesnt work, please help

[unreal flint]

@umbral narwhal any ideas on the above ^ ?

[steady hawk]

Is that your “friend” you talk about?

[unreal flint]

yes it is

[steady hawk]

Okay, then, remove all of Mods and try the minimal settings/Mods

We firstly to make sure it is a Mod's issue or a mission's or something else

[unreal flint]

alright, ill try that

[umbral narwhal]

That sort of thing's almost always a version mismatch though. Trouble is when people run localhost there's no signature checks, so it loads up fine and then the client code bugs out because it's not getting what it expected.

In 3.3 community I added a server version check on the client because I was sick of dealing with these on every update :P

[unreal flint]

what could be causing the version mismatch? We have the same arma 3 version, is it the mods?

[umbral narwhal]

The Antistasi mod.

Right click -> repair in the launcher usually forces the update.

[unreal flint]

Just a second

[umbral narwhal]

Also make sure you're not loading more than one Antistasi mod because that's just russian roulette.

[unreal flint]

We have antistasi plus, he just did the repair thing so we're gonna try it now

@umbral narwhal All done, it works. Thank you for your 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

[bronze river]

it crashed when you open the game or when you open launcher?

there should be an option in launcher's parameter tab to exits launcher when game is started.

[craggy summit]

Hello. How can I handle mods that share a bikey? For example, Animate and ragdoll on command share a bikey, but only Animate is being loaded onto the server. From the clients perspective, it looks like it allows ragdoll on command to be loaded, but it will just cause them to be kicked when trying to join.

[timid bloom]

Hi guys! Has anyone ever experienced unit attributes window taking LOOONG time to open? Does it depend on number of mods loaded?

[steady hawk]

Usually because of that

[timid bloom]

Ok thanks!

I though Arma could handle 90 mods lol and that the problem would start at around 120+...

[golden nova]

one mod is enough if it's ass

[steady hawk]

Or zero

[timid bloom]

One thing I've noticed is that gear mods are VERY HEAVY on this...

[steady hawk]

More specifically, amount of Mods doesn't matter but amount of Eden related Mods, including such

[timid bloom]

ty! 🙂

[inland tulip]

Still having the issue of drones not listening to the left ctrl + left click commands through Uav terminal. terminal is on the correct team/side. Not a mod issue because it works on editor, just not multiplayer. looked up and seems to be an issue.

[timid bloom]

Are gear mods Eden related?

[umbral narwhal]

Usually you just have to tell people not to load certain mods if they're in optionals. It's a common issue with ACE stuff.

[craggy summit]

damn. I assume it is considered bad practice for mod devs to use the same key on their different mods?

[umbral narwhal]

It is bad practice. I wouldn't know about "considered".

[jolly coral]

I have an issue with connecting to my friend's game. Everytime he hosts a session, I'm unable to see it in the server browser or be able to connect to it through his steam profile.

[umbral narwhal]

That's normal for Arma. Networking requires effort and luck.

[jolly coral]

Any failsafes to take with helping connect? I was able to do it once, but now it's just telling me off

[uncut trellis]

your friend likely needs to do portforwarding

[umbral narwhal]

Used to be you could tick the UPNP box and it'd work most of the time. Not anymore though.

[uncut trellis]

!localhost

[rustic eagle]

Arma 3
To host a server or a game session locally, you need to make sure first that your WAN address / external IP uses the IPv4 protocol!
Check your router’s status page in the settings to confirm. (If in doubt, ask your ISP, Websites like “whatismyip.com” give you a false positive!)
Local servers and games can not be hosted on an IPv6 network, or IPv4 via DSlite tunnel!
https://www.avg.com/en/signal/ipv4-vs-ipv6
Once you have confirmed that your connection uses the IPv4 protocol, you need to manually open / forward the ports 2302-2306 UDP (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Dedicated_Server#Port_Forwarding)
See your router’s manual on how to do that, or ask google: “<your router model> + port forwarding”

[umbral narwhal]

And yeah, it's the hoster who has to set stuff up. No-one else can do anything.

[jolly coral]

gotcha

[viral perch]

im confused

[jolly coral]

hes the guy who is trying to host

[viral perch]

im the one trying to host

[umbral narwhal]

Your source of confusion is probably an assumption that Arma would make it straightforward for the average user to play with their friends.

[jolly coral]

he's confused as to how to port forward

[ocean cosmos]

refer to the last line of this
depending on your isp they may have a tutorial specific for it (mine does) but most of the time you'll have to rely on google

[winged ridge]

Morning all, having a weird issue happening. I can't see the ability to configure game or addon options at all. I'm playing the Operation Cobra ALiVE mission with extra mods. I can get the options so show when in editor, but when i'm in server and logged in as admin, the options completely disappear.

is there a way to use a #command to for the addon options GUI to appear? or even debug?

[golden nova]

I guess you tried clicking the arrow to the right of Game options and it didn't work?

[winged ridge]

that's it "expanded"

[golden nova]

then it's either IFA or Alive breaking it, you would have to check unloading which one brings the menu back and then hope that either team will make a fix

(I guess Spearhead rather than Alive 😬 )

[winged ridge]

very possible. i'm also using that temp ACE compat for spearhead

i'm working on making a realism version of the mission so i have like 90 mods. way more than i want, but to get the immersion i'm looking for... kinda stuck with the ammount

[verbal osprey]

You're right. New routers do not work with UPNP ArmA. I kept an old router (12 years old) and UPNP ArmA3 works on it. I connect it to the new router and it works.

[winged ridge]

okay.... weirdest thing.... i was tabbed out for like 5ish or more minutes and boom... the option to configure finally appeared. so im now able to configure addons... the hell?

[umbral narwhal]

Dude, when you have 90 mods loaded, it's only weird if everything works.

[winged ridge]

oh i know. lol and so far.... its working that's the craziest thing. only real issue is with ACRE not being indexed for the map, but im not exactly worried about it

[pine kite]

Ask the creator of ragdoll to make a seperate bikey signage of it. This is not preventable if the sharing of bikeys remain.

[celest patrol]

Hello ive been having a problem with my arma 3 multiplayers games. When a player dies they respawn on their body, i've made sure that the respawn position was set in a place where i intended and made sure that in the multiplayer menu, that spawn was set in Respawn on Custom Position

am i missing a step?

[scarlet saffron]

are you using description.ext and respawn="BASE"?

[fading nymph]

Having an issue where during large firefights, I lose sound on my weapons. Anyone know what's causing this?

[umbral narwhal]

mods, always mods :P

If there are a lot of sound effects in progress then you can run out of channels and then it's just dropping effects randomly.

[fading nymph]

Think that's what's happening to be honest, is there any way to increase the amount of channels available to windows/the game?

[cloud wasp]

Look how fucking stupid arma 3 AI is like please help me I Just want to make my game fun but look at this shit

[umbral narwhal]

The profile has maxSamplesPlayed=96; in it, but I have no idea whether that is a valid thing to change.

[fading nymph]

Do you know what the name of the file where that is located please?

[umbral narwhal]

Default profile is in Documents\Arma 3\. Others are in Documents\Arma 3 - other profiles\. Filename will be [profilename].arma3profile. Shut down Arma before editing.

And make a backup before you mangle it.

[fading nymph]

Thanks, so I've found that file but it doesn't have that line in it

[steady hawk]

Usually a gear itself is not. If a Mods adds their own attributes, it causes more of the load time

[crimson rapids]

This keeps happening with some units, anyone know a fix?

[steady hawk]

Out of memory or bad GPU is one possible reason.
Or, the bad Mod

[timid bloom]

is there any way to remove this black boxes error messages? :/

[golden vale]

If you made the mission on eden did you adjust the respawn timer cause if it is on 0 that can cause people insta respawning on their bodies

[quaint jewel]

Yes. Fix the error that it's showing

In that case you'd want to run the game with -debug parameter. And then check RPT for a calltrace

If you have hide them without fixing the error? No. They are there to tell you to fix the problem

[timid bloom]

pretty strange since I havent touched nothing related to CBA....(cba is pretty bugged sometimes)

[quaint jewel]

Looking at the error it's probably some bad mod

It's not CBAs fault

Someone is calling that CBA function with invalid arguments

CBA being bugged is new to me.
It's probably one of the most scrutinized cleanest mods out there

[timid bloom]

It causes lag to gcam also in certain cases, indeed may were forced to remove it to cancel lag...( also consider gcam has never been updated so that might be the problem also eheh )

[steady hawk]

Again CBA is not the part of the fault, a Mod how uses CBA is the part of the fault

[timid bloom]

So puttin -debug in launch parameters would help finding the problem?

[quaint jewel]

I doubt that's CBA

[quaint jewel]

Yes. It would print in RPT which mod or script called that function with wrong arguments

[timid bloom]

Thank you very much Ded, how can I see report then?

[quaint jewel]

!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.

[timid bloom]

So everytime I run the game and then exit it "prints" a RPT?

[steady hawk]

It prints RPT on the fly

[pine kite]

Is there even something there where you want suppressive fire? (at those trees on along the road in front of the heli? I guess the AI figured there were actuall enemy units where it decided to fire to. (hard to say what it actually does with such a narrow view of just part of your screen. (rotate your phone camera to wide view)

[timid bloom]

Ty very much!

[pine kite]

Well, not if you use the -nologs parameter when starting the game/server.

[golden vale]

i dont think -nologs is on by default so most people shouldnt have that enabled unless you specifically want to make life miserable and not know what is breaking

[pine kite]

Correct, but I'm sure it is suggested all over the place to get 'moar FPS'.

[golden vale]

Pretty sure you simply have to pray to god for more fps in arma 3

he rarely listens

[timid bloom]

Thanks all. So if I want to use the -debug I must uncheck the -nolog?

[golden vale]

if you have -nolog enabled then yes you have to remove it

[timid bloom]

actually Its all like this lol

If any of you have a good soul and LOTS of patience I can send it here on discord. The full log

[pine kite]

Remove mods until this disappears.

[steady hawk]

One by one, or half by half

[pine kite]

I meant, turn the mod off to isolate it as the cause. If it didn't change this error spam, then it probably wasn't the cause and can be re-enabled. But perhaps better to leave it out alltogether while testing. Less is more (progress towards the answer)

[golden vale]

To me it looks like you were trying to take a screenshot ( from how the units are placed) does the error actually effect you in any way besides the black box being in eden if not you probs can simply ignore it as well as there are a bunch of errors that can happen that dont really affect anything

[steady hawk]

In Eden you cannot disable the error message box

And indeed if the intention here is just to take a screenshot why you would want to have a lot of Mods that does only affect the gameplay

[golden vale]

Yes i know i've experienced a couple of them but some of the errors shouldn't affect any static objects with simulation disabled so if he can enter into scenario without issue he should be fine and it will save him time trying to find said mod that is giving off the error

[golden vale]

as i dont know what mods he has loaded i cant say but from the screenshot i saw he had custom map/unit-assets/and probs other stuff for better visuals

[celest patrol]

5 sec

[golden vale]

Do all players respawn on their corpses or just some of them ?

But the default settings should be under respawn setting custom location, and checking select respawn position and show respawn counter and on the module for respawn giving the correct side you are playing ie bluefor, opfor, independent not leaving it on leading side

[timid bloom]

actually It's a cutscene for a cinematic I'm doin

[steady hawk]

Not sure what that means

[golden vale]

okay but does the error actually affect anything outside of eden ?

[steady hawk]

Is that supposed on the gameplay? Is that supposed to be a video?

[golden vale]

@timid bloom like is the error causing your game to crash or is it just the black box in eden cause if it doesnt affect you when you go into the scenario you should be fine

[steady hawk]

You can hide it, of course, but that won't mean it is fixed

[golden vale]

I mean if it doesnt affect anything do you even have to fix it

[steady hawk]

If the log is on, it affects the FPS very well

[golden vale]

if i spent time fixing every single error that doesnt do anything in arma i'd grow a long ass beard

[golden vale]

as the error isnt intended for mp use i'd say if the fps isnt that bad it shouldnt matter

the scenario*

[uncut trellis]

You may also shave inbetween. But please don't ever again suggest ignoring errors. If you came here tomorrow with some new issue you encountered we would tell you start by sorting out all ot old error crap you have.

If a mod is broken and author won't fix it, it should not be used. Simple as that

[golden vale]

Im not saying to fully ignore them but to check if the error affects your performance or gives you any issues if an error shows up but doesnt affect performance or anything critical then I ignore it if there is performance or any sort of issue then do every single step to identify and fix it

[umbral narwhal]

All mods are broken tbh, just some of them more obviously than others.

[golden vale]

^

[umbral narwhal]

A lot of those script error spams are actually harmless.

On the other hand, a mod having easily-replicable script errors is not a sign of quality :P

[timid bloom]

its supposed to be a video

And as someone else mentioned, I've noticed a decrease in FPS...that would not happen time ago in the same map (Majan). And no, that error box does not affect the game meaning it crashes or something else. Just won't go away and would stay in the middle of the screen 4ever...

[crimson rapids]

Alright I’m guessing bad mod, I’ve been playing for a while and this is the first time I’m getting this

[golden nova]

it stays forever because a mod in your modset calls for a function over and over and has an error in that script.

you said you don't see any fps changes but you said that GCAM is lagging, so it does affect the game then

[golden vale]

Yeah then you have to go mod by mod and find the culprit

[celest patrol]

All of them but when i died i couldnt get back into zeus

[quaint jewel]

Mh some mod that doesn't conform to normal coding guidelines (no CfgFunctions, no CBA functions style, that's why it shows no filename there).
Or, that bad script is entirely in a config entry. Which is also unusual

[golden vale]

okay that sounds like a respawn module not being correct

[spark oracle]

For me Arma 3 Tact Ops mission 2 is causing my game to crush every single time.

[quaint jewel]

Go to your steam game properties, and switch beta to profiling build

[timid bloom]

@quaint jewel here it is

I will try now removing mods 1 by 1.... but I'm using the same mods I've always used so... kinda strange. Maybe there's something I'm missing

[quaint jewel]

that doesn't help me though

Except to see that your RHS is broke as frick

your whole config is broke as frick

[timid bloom]

What's your suggestion? ^^

[quaint jewel]

Remove half mods

[timid bloom]

btw is it normal that everytime I close ArmA I get this message?

[quaint jewel]

Arma*

no

prepare that report and send to me

Remove mods until this doesn't appear anymore

20:35:47 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgWeapons/ItemInfo.displayName'.
20:35:47 Warning Message: '/' is not a value

And this

20:35:47 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/rhs_uaz_spg9_chdkz.scope'.

Chances are all the others are also that same mod

[spark oracle]

Ok. Thanks. I will try in a bit. I will let you know if it works

[quaint jewel]

You can switch back after the next big update in a couple weeks, it'll also be fixed in there

[spark oracle]

It works. Ok. So the next update will fix this bug in the next following weeks. Cool thank you very much

[earnest condor]

anyone know why true map names arnt showing when i hover over a map

was showing the other day but today its not

[golden nova]

what's a "true map name"

[earnest condor]

the name of the map file

usualy when u hover over a map it shows but its not for me

[golden nova]

I am not sure what you're talking about.

In a specific menu in game? In your mission folder in Documents directory?

[earnest condor]

when hosting a server and picking a map u cna hover over a name and see the actual file name normly

like uns_name

i need it so i can then change a duws file name to have the map in

[shrewd lagoon]

im currently having problems with some mods saying this

can any of u help me?

[uncut trellis]

You are missing some required mod (optre) or the mod is just broke

[shrewd lagoon]

ok

[gentle sleet]

I have this weird bug in Zeus where I see other player's name as Player 1, Player 2 instead of their actual name. This bug started recently and now happens every time I switch to zeus. Only I am facing this bug and no one else. Tried it with mods and without mods. Have verified game games multiple times but it still is there.

Modded

Unmodded

[bronze river]

turn off stream friendly ui in game setting

[strange drift]

Morning all having a weird issue

[gentle sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/tanks-tank-you-thank-you-gif-22041417

Fixed it

[plain cargo]

I am having mic issues in ARMA3 and Teamspeak, is it possible the upgrade to Win 11 has done this?

My issue is that push to talk is not working in game or teamspeak (both run simultaneously) since the upgrade to Win 11 last year. I've checked profiles and hotkeys in TeamSpeak and even resorted to remapping push to talk (ARMA) back to default. No luck for either.

[steady hawk]

If it is just for Arma 3, it sounds like just your mic is not set default in Win... but in both TS?

[golden vale]

idk about win 11 but i know new ts update has been doing weird stuff with teamspeak plugins like tfar beta

[viral perch]

can someone join a call with me to walk me through fixing multiplayer

[hybrid furnace]

is bad performance with arma just something you have to learn to live with? i’ve tweaked a lot of settings in line with the wiki and a couple videos and nothing seems to really help.

i’m using a 5800x and a 3060 ti and just can’t seem to get decent performance above 40-50 ish on any decent map (i.e. the new dlc)

[golden nova]

yes. All you can do is lower view distance, play without shadows and OC your CPU and RAM if it it's possible.

more than 40 fps is already decent performance, Normandy is a densely detailed map.

[umbral narwhal]

Normandy is a bit of a beast.

[hybrid furnace]

ah okay. i don’t dabble a ton in arma since it’s a pain when it comes to this, just wanted to make sure lol

not seen many videos of large scenarios over 30fps :P

[golden nova]

if you are on a resolution lower than 4k and have budget, you could go for Ryzen 7 7800X3D which iirc has a very good performance in A3. GPU doesn't really matter

[hybrid furnace]

got ya, thanks guys 🫶

[void fjord]

yo when I try to upload a unit emblem it gives me this weird error after I press save

[urban mason]

So, in my server players try and use custom faces but it only shows as a white for everyone else, any idea why thats happening? Ive had custom faces (when you make your arma profile) show on other servers

So idk wtf is happening

[golden nova]

face files might be bigger than what server allows for

[distant ibex]

is there a way to change startercharacters without having to delete the first player that u placed and place another

also for some reason zeus has to be manually given to the starterplayer that i spawn in now

it wasnt like this before

is there a way to fix it

[uncut trellis]

in the units attributes menu there player tickbox

[distant ibex]

i dont like having to sync game master

every time i hop on editor

[uncut trellis]

zeus has never been on by default

you always have had to place down the module

[distant ibex]

what

i think u misunderstood me

when i placed down a person before, they automatically had zeus

when i clicked y

[uncut trellis]

its not a vanilla feautre

maybe some mod did it

[distant ibex]

any idea as to which

mod

[uncut trellis]

no

[distant ibex]

i think it mightve been giving zeus to everyone

or something

also i found an effective way to fix the remote control gunner bug that locks ur character

if anyone needs it

[uncut trellis]

#arma3_editor might be best place for this stuff in the future

[distant ibex]

troubleshooting is pretty broad id say

[golden nova]

it is, and yet for some reason you cant shoot guns at the troubles.

if you know the original ticket on feedback tracker that reported the zeus gunner issue you could post your bypass there, hopefully someone from the dev team may be able to incorporate it into future versions of A3

[signal iris]

Has anyone the slightest clue of how to do custom difficulty setting for a3 for a dedicated server using LGSM?

[golden vale]

It should be done in the arma3server.server.cfg

but if you are asking on what to write there dm me and i'll send you

[umbral narwhal]

Usually the tricky bit with Linux is finding out where it put your profile.

Not sure if this is accurate: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Server_Profile

worst-case you can just search the whole partition for arma3profile though.

[uncut trellis]

sure, but we also have the more dedicated channels for various topics

[signal iris]

The wiki says to use a .armaprofile

which I found in ~/.local

now I just have to figure out how to convince LGSM to add a startup option to change that, because we have 3 servers on one box and they're all using the same profile.

[umbral narwhal]

You can use -name to specify different profiles.

[signal iris]

Right, but how to get LGSM to use that launch option properly :D

I'm combing their docs now

[golden vale]

with lgsm the stuff from .armaprofile can be used in the server.cfg

in the cfg folder

like i told you

[signal iris]

Just like, add the contents of what I'd normally put in the .armaprofile in the end of the server.cfg?

[golden vale]

Yes

[signal iris]

I'll give that a shot, thank you.

[golden vale]

the one which has the hostname and admin pass

[umbral narwhal]

Are you sure that actually works?

because it certainly doesn't on windows.

I had to fix a lot of people's setups where they got the wrong end of the stick and put CfgDifficultyPresets in server.cfg.

[golden vale]

its lgsm specific

Linux game server master

[umbral narwhal]

It's not in their Arma 3 docs.

[golden vale]

well idk what to tell you except for that it works and has been for 2 years now

Idk why it does but it does

[umbral narwhal]

You need separate profiles anyway if you're playing game modes with any persistence, so you'll likely need to sort that out regardless.

[golden vale]

I mean i personally use forcedifficulty = custom cause more than once i've accidentaly booted missions on wrong difficulty 😅

and if they are basic zeus missions and the zeus has placed a ton down its too late for a reset

[urban mason]

any way to change that?

[pine kite]

Nope, custom difficulty settings are defined in the profile used by the server. But the server config file can contain a line to tell it needs to be the customized settings.

[cedar zenith]

hello, ive recently rented a server and i cant seem for the life of me figure out how to start the actual mission, im in the lobby and everytime i press "ok" noting happens and it gives me this error "tracks/' is not a class ('duration' accessed)"

everything seems to be working fine the mods are loading but i dunno how to start it

[fringe salmon]

If I add any mods to my game and try to launch it tells me "missing dependency" but it always has been this way and it loaded
If it's Pure-Vanillia game loads normal.

Crash Reports

[fringe salmon]

Fixed it, just turn the game into 32x

[pine kite]

Do you mean running the 32-bit Arma executable? I don't see why the 64 bit executable would cause problems with loading mods. I'd say the 32-bit one can use less memory so would be having issues earlier. But do a Steam verify of the game to be sure.

If the game says you need missing mod dependencies, then you need the missing mods to continue with that. Mods don't work if the foundation for them isn't laid. Simple as that.

[vapid whale]

a guy in my unit is having this issue. Nvm issue is fixed

thats the error log

[graceful flax]

Can anyone help me, I’m getting the error: session lost - verifying PBO failed: addons\3den.pbo

Can’t join a lot of servers

Already reinstalled game, removed addons folder and verified game multiple times etc

[quaint jewel]

k_fps64.dll is part of RazerCortex and developed by Razer Inc.
Seems like Razer is killing Arma

[steady hawk]

How do you get the game?

[graceful flax]

Bought it like 5 years ago on steam

[steady hawk]

And it suddenly starts to do so?

[graceful flax]

Haven’t played for a couple years just come back to it and greeted with that error

[steady hawk]

Are you sure your game is up to date?

[graceful flax]

Woops wrong one

But yeah my version lines up

Updated game vry recently

[steady hawk]

You sure?

What exactly is your game version?

[graceful flax]

I’ll give it you right now let me load it up

The version is 2.12.150779

[steady hawk]

Does official server works for you?

[graceful flax]

havent tried but i think so ill try now

nup doesnt work either

any ideas? i appreciate the help

[golden vale]

have you verified integrity of game files maybe something randomly decided to break for you

[graceful flax]

done that about 15 times today

[steady hawk]

Have you tried to only delete addons\3den.pbo and its bisign?

And verify?

[graceful flax]

yes that as well

[steady hawk]

Do you have ANY Mods right now? Or Moved a PBO into somewhere from somewhere?

[graceful flax]

deleated all my mods

[steady hawk]

I'm not asking that

[graceful flax]

havent moved the PBOS, watchu mean sorry?

[steady hawk]

Asking if you have any of third-party PBO in any of addons folder

[graceful flax]

no havent added in any third-party PBOs, completely wiped the addon files and verified integrity to double check

[golden vale]

At this point if you havent, try reinstalling the game

[graceful flax]

already done that

[steady hawk]

He already said multiple times

[golden vale]

I only saw him say he validated missed that part then

Yep sorry just noticed

[uncut trellis]

what does the rpt say?

and when you say cant join some servers does that mean you can joins some other servers or none at all?

[graceful flax]

yeah nvm cant join any

ill install 2013 ty

is there anyway i can figure out what that mod is?

[steady hawk]

Check the pinned

[golden nova]

personally I would ditch W11 and go back to W10.

[void fjord]

did any1 have this before or know a fix?

[fringe salmon]

damn bro

[fringe salmon]

Anyone know how I can figure out which mod is O_SD? as non of them are called that in the launcher or the steam workshop.

[uncut trellis]

turn off half, test, repeat

[fringe salmon]

Sigh amazing thought that would be it. Cheers I'll just roll back the server to the previous modpack and dripfeed one mod in a day till shit hits the fan I don't have the hours to pick through mods because a mod author can stick with one name for their mod so it can be identified when it encounters an error. Cheers for the response and confirmation @uncut trellis

[uncut trellis]

it is usually good to test whatever mods you add one by one

mod being released does not mean it is made in a way it works with other mods or even alone

[fringe salmon]

I did lol on a mares server figure if it worked on one server it should on another.

[umbral narwhal]

Hmm, so does the Arma launcher read mod dependencies from Steam?

[strong crypt]

Hi, i hope im correct with the channel.

Anyone know maybe how i can repair this server issue with Modded uniforms (only i think)? They are just straight flashlight bright.

Got quite a lot mods but i have no frickin idea what could be causing this.

(Time of the day is set in a middle of the night)

[uncut trellis]

most likely they are made wrong or they got broken rvmat

usually if you are not the author this stuff is not fixable as you have no access to source files

[strong crypt]

the main thing is uniforms from every single mod i have got affected from what i see

(cup)

[stiff marlin]

a friend and i are working on ACE settings for missions and there's an issue with the uncon. When getting shot anywhere it drops you to the ground as though you're uncon but you can still see, similar to a lot of vanilla uncon scripts that you find on servers, anyone know what's up with this?

this is the current modlist being used, ping any response given so i see it

[golden nova]

we kinda can't help you if you have "quite a lot mods" and Workshop has more than 10, no one will go through all of it just to guess what you are using.

unload mods that you don't need, or just leave cup and see if issue persists. If it doesn't, add mods one by one until it gets broken again and you will learn the culprit

[strong crypt]

yeah im trying to think of the problem, i hoped someone had same issue here, thanks tho.

[golden nova]

well last mods I used that broke uniform rvmats was RS Rain Textures and the other one adding blood on uniforms, don't remember its name. If you're using them, ditch thhem and see what happens.

[strong crypt]

oh wait

i actually do

this?

[golden nova]

yes

allright let me test it

[thorn igloo]

CRC Data Error, how do i fix that

[umbral narwhal]

Replace your data drive.

[thorn igloo]

wat

[golden nova]

it means your hard drive is dead or about to be gone.

[thorn igloo]

👍 shits external

[umbral narwhal]

That would be a risk factor :P

[thorn igloo]

nah i am dead

[golden nova]

if you have any critical data there you can give it to an expert to try and restore at least some of it.

[umbral narwhal]

You can try to workaround it by convincing windows to mark the bad sector and then repairing the files in steam, but it'll probably get worse.

[thorn igloo]

I mean it occured after i crashed in arma 3 and i post on arma forums says that the problem was the profiles they made

[quaint jewel]

I don't really read forums anymore

It could also be that windows is lying about that check

[thorn igloo]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

we will see imma see if i can get some more space, repair arma

and then hope for the best

[honest jackal]

My game keeps stuttering every 3 or so seconds, like micro freezes

How tf do i fix this it’s AIDS

[uncut trellis]

A] you may have installed the game on slow drive (usb hdd for example), only fix for this would be to install game on fast drive like internal SSD
B] you have subscribed to tons of compositions and they keep refreshing at the background causing load issues, fix would be to unsub from unnecessary compositions

[honest jackal]

i have it on an external SSD

i also have a fuck ton of comps i made and downloaded so that might be it

[honest jackal]

also there was an error with the SSD so now i can only open arma from the launcher shortcut, it's not showing up as installed on steam

idk what's up with that

[umbral narwhal]

Arma will also jitter pretty badly if you're short on memory, but that clears up once you shut stuff down.

[honest jackal]

I literally only have arma open

Can I allocate more memory or something idk

[uncut trellis]

most likely the usb throttles the speed or does not have stable enough transfer

is my guess

[honest jackal]

It’s like a stutter every like 5 seconds

[uncut trellis]

combined with the compositions

[honest jackal]

Before it did this but then cleared up after like 5 mins of playing

But this has been going on the whole time and not stopped

I’m deleting comps rn

[uncut trellis]

unsub them on the workshop

(if you want them back you can create your own collection where they be listed)

[honest jackal]

How do I do that

I’m guessing it’s faster than just deleting them one by one from the editor like I’m doing

[uncut trellis]

same way you have subscribed to them

in the steam workshop you can find list of all things you have subscribed to

[honest jackal]

Just unsubbed from about 150 comps

Should be better now I hope

[honest jackal]

[raw topaz]

ok thank you

[fringe salmon]

alright ive narrowed down which mod is causing my issue its:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2875799575
or one of its dependencies when added to my server or my client modload list i get an error saying that addon 'O_SD' requeies addon 'tfar_core'.
I am stuck as my playerbase really wants these mods or at lease the odst armor sets and I already have taskforce radio installed so not sure what tfar_core is meant to be anyone able to help?

[ocean cosmos]

which version of tfar do you have loaded

[fringe salmon]

this one and its up to date far as i can tell did fresh installs on both client and server
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=620019431&searchtext=taskforce+radio

that would be it a guess seeing how long since update but which is the correct one as when i search tfar i get tons of random results

i can find the TFAR beta but not the non beta

[ocean cosmos]

use the tfar beta

[night depot]

Can anyone who speaks RPT tell me what's going on here?

What I can make out is that RHS is missing dependancies, but all the required mods are installed

Could it be a corrupted mod?

How i can active them

And sound mod

[mental river]

IDK never used those. Read their description on the workshop page

[fringe salmon]

Ok thx

[golden vale]

if you have them loaded once you play the mission they should work

[golden vale]

From what I see is the server fails at the mission init, doesn't say why it does that, but sometimes if you just wait at the role select screen for a little while (max 5 mins go make yourself a coffee or something) and then press continue and load into the mission as it gives the server some time to figure stuff out for itself (this isnt a guaranteed fix but it can work)

[zealous mason]

I removed some mods and it fixed it (CUP Core and Dependencies, Blastcore, and a few others)

[golden vale]

Yeah sometimes with a lot of mods them loading and antistasi booting at the same time can cause crashes like that

what i can suggest is keep client side mods like blastcore off the server as you only need them on the client

It‘s weird, since I reinstalled my arma server on windows server 2019, I get the error message that an addon requires A3_character_f, which in my understanding is a standard pbo. That error obviously prevents us from loading any mission. I already checked the gamefiles. Any ideas?

[lime sphinx]

no, it doesn't. It's a erroneous error message that's present literally everywhere and doesn't prevent anything

check for other problems

it's a3_character_f, though. Not a3_characters_f that's usual suspect

But it prevents the mission from loading! Or is there a way to aknowledge it and go on

[honest mountain]

Having an issue with some land vehicles, mainly tanks, continuously playing their full revv'd engine sounds - even when parked with engine off. Sound updates correctly once I exit vehicle and jump back in.

Could someone point me in the right direction? We are using JSRS sound mod and RHS comp.

[golden vale]

does it toss you a popup in game ?

[ocean cosmos]

if on the server it blocks from loading

[stoic root]

No. After lobby and waiting for host procedure, it throws me back to the jitterish, gray blank screen and doesnt go on

In singleplayer, sure I can just click ok. But not on a server mission loading situation

[golden vale]

well its hard to go off the small screen shot send us the rpt

[lime sphinx]

Warning Message: You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted.\na3_characters_f is a faux error that doesn't block anything.
No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgPatches.a3_character_f' is different error, that's likely blocking. And is most likely caused by broken mod or mission, because arma doesn't have patch or PBO of that name

It goes in the debug console, which is the black box that comes up when you press escape.

Anyone able to help with why my friend is not able to connect to my server? I've opened my ports(i'm pretty sure), i've even tried UPnP, we've tried with and without mods, and it still says connection failed, and when he hosts his server doesn't even show up, so i'm assuming that's a port forwarding issue

[pine kite]

"I'm pretty sure" .... So post some examples of what you did put in there. You may not have done it correctly. We can't tell. UPnP doesn't always work. It must be enabled in the router for it to respond to setting the checkmark. Often it isn't by default.
But then in the end you might still have a kind of internet connection through your router by the internet service provider that prevents you from being able to port forward anyway. And there are hardly any ways to diagnose if that is the case.

[real tree]

i port forward 2302, 2303

i also opened up my firewall

i generally know what i'm doing when it comes to this stuff, i've setup a lot of servers for other games, this is just baffling as to why he's not able to connect, thought it was mods, but even vanilla he can't connect

[umbral narwhal]

You're sure you haven't been moved to CGNAT then?

[real tree]

No

[pine kite]

Try:

[rustic eagle]

Arma 3
To host a server or a game session locally, you need to make sure first that your WAN address / external IP uses the IPv4 protocol!
Check your router’s status page in the settings to confirm. (If in doubt, ask your ISP, Websites like “whatismyip.com” give you a false positive!)
Local servers and games can not be hosted on an IPv6 network, or IPv4 via DSlite tunnel!
https://www.avg.com/en/signal/ipv4-vs-ipv6
Once you have confirmed that your connection uses the IPv4 protocol, you need to manually open / forward the ports 2302-2306 UDP (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Dedicated_Server#Port_Forwarding)
See your router’s manual on how to do that, or ask google: “<your router model> + port forwarding”

[real tree]

Oh, to 2306? Though it was just 2303, i'll open up to 2306

Success! Opened all those ports and he managed to connect. Thank you @pine kite

[umbral narwhal]

Generally 2302 is enough for direct-connect.

2303 and 2304 are required for steam lookup functionality.

2306 is for battleye. 2305 currently unused.

[slow comet]

Load Western Sahara CDLC or its compatability data. Arma 3 Aegis has it listed as a dependency.

alright

you can also ignore that as it's only added the stuff from WS if loaded

[steady hawk]

One thing is certain: Do not load Mod that you don't know what it does

you need the exile mod to use that mod sadly the author hasn't listed it as a dependency

it is named simply Exile mod?

Does someone know what could be the problem? When i try to load into my mission it allows me to select a role. And after ive done that it loads for around 30seconds and then "Wait for host" pops up. Then it throws me into a different loading screen and just sit stuck there. Ive tried removing as many mods as possible and the dedicated server runs as little mods as possible.

[kind valve]

After save/load sectorControl doesnt work, I decide just switch owner of sector by a script, but its not a proccess as default, now its just a switch between sides of sector

[uncut cradle]

Alr one sec

[uncut cradle]

also that could probably be it

[golden vale]

If you make the mission lets say with three mods one of them being something as simple as no stamina then the server will need all three aswell

[uncut cradle]

Oh, So even if the mission isent utelizing the server still needs it?

[golden vale]

Yes

[uncut cradle]

oh alr one sec ima open my game and get the RPT but that could very much be the issue

[golden vale]

Thats why i suggest unloading all client side mods before making missions for servers

[uncut cradle]

https://sqfbin.com/diwiviculogocixukope

Okay heres the RPT

What i did was i launched the game with the modlist i used for the mission, Joined the server and then it booted me to "Wait for Host". Then it kicked me to Stratis loading screen (Which is not the correct map) and then i closed the game.

[golden vale]

When you log into your server did you select the correct mission before picking a role or did you go straight into role select cause from the rpt it looks like server loaded stratis and just before you restarted it loaded the scp mission

[uncut cradle]

In the server.cfg i have it to open the SCP mission but it dosent open it, So i login and select it via #missions

[golden vale]

Okay with the ammount of mods you have it could be that the server simply doesnt have enough time to initialize everything before you try and start the mission

This is not guaranteed to work but once you have selected a role just sit on the role select screen for a couple of mins give the server time to load and then press continue

[uncut cradle]

I tried that, I let my PC sit afk for around 12hrs and still dident work

[golden vale]

On the role select for that mission or just in general

[uncut cradle]

But Ive loaded the mission with a smaller modpack and im using that modpack for the server, mission and my PC. Gonna see if that works

On role select

[golden vale]

Well hope it works imma go to bed good luck

[uncut cradle]

Alr gn, I hope it works

Thanks for your help

[uncut cradle]

Seems to be having the same problem, Ill try mess around with it a bit more.

[uncut cradle]

Well i havent been able to find out any other issues, Ive tried what ive been told and that dosent seem to be working.
If anyone else knows what the problem could be please help.

okay

it started downloading arma again

it will take like 18 hours with my wifi

[brave hawk]

roger that

[verbal bough]

and im going for like 3 weeks

in like 6 hours

so see you in 3 weeks

Your Wi-Fi doesn't really feel good today I guess? Verify will never take longer than install itself

[verbal bough]

yeah i verified game files and it said that files are broken or something and it started 40gb download

[steady hawk]

Ah so verify worked. Good luck then... 40 is a big

[fringe salmon]

I need help I get this error message.

[pine kite]

Explain more about what mission/scenario this occurs in. What mods you used for it. Basically it shows the code is bad. Regardless if it was a mod or scenario that caused it, it should be considered dead and not be used. Or at least tell the creator of it that you encountered this so they may be able to fix it in the future. If you didn't write that code, then you can't fix it.

[fading pulsar]

Mod/sound related question:
My friend has issues where weapon sounds from RHS AFRF cut short, like ~ 0.1ms of sound plays then it cuts, when firing any weapon from that mod or mods that derive from it.
Any ideas on how to remedy that?

[jovial arch]

Hi I'm having some audio issues mid game where all my A3 sounds stops working and I can't get it reworking. I'm using an Astro A50 wireless headset and the station is connected via a USB port. I've tried refreshing audio sources, turning off and on the headset, taking out and plugging back in the headset station base none of the previous things have fixed my arma 3 audio issues. Any ideas what else I can do?

[golden vale]

check pinned

[golden vale]

That sounds like a sound mod breaking if he is using something like jsrs tell him to either remove it or check if he has the compatibility mods loaded

[fading pulsar]

No we arent. And for 20 other people works fine. We all use same mods.

[kindred solstice]

Hello, i'm having an issue with remoteexec and switchmove for animations

Me and some friends are trying to make a police modpack

But currently we cannot handcuff anyone, in the log the server say Scripting command 'switchmove' is not allowed to be remotely executed whenever we try to handcuff someone

it looks like some modes are using remoteexec to execute some comands, but the server refuse

[uncut trellis]

heya. this is more a bug/crash kind of troubleshoot channel, we have various maker channels below for this kind of issues

[kindred solstice]

the thing is that i cannot understand what i am supposed to write and where to write it to fix the issue

[kindred solstice]

Ah

[uncut trellis]

for you #arma3_scenario could be the right place to start from

[kindred solstice]

Okay

i'm just gonna copy paste the messages

[uncut trellis]

as to how some mods work, you may need to contact their maker

[kindred solstice]

i see

[uncut trellis]

but you can ask in the mission maker channel too

[kindred solstice]

i just did

[uncut trellis]

but its possible nobody else has used the mod(s) you do

[kindred solstice]

it's probably either the mission or the server that's caussing issues

maybe even just the server as my friend tested the modpack and mission in SP and it worked

but asking help on the server providers they just told us "check arma's forum"

so bassically back to step 1

[uncut trellis]

if I recall right server/MP disables remoteexec stuff by default to limit cheating with them

so you may need to configure the server too

[kindred solstice]

Yeah, but i also have no idea how to do that

[umbral narwhal]

That message sounds like CfgRemoteExec?
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_CfgRemoteExec

[kindred solstice]

it is

but i have no idea what to put where

What i tried is to put this in the description.ext and the "server profile"

but nothing changed

i don't know if i had to change something or not

[uncut trellis]

since this took off here after all I deleted the other post in #arma3_scenario

[kindred solstice]

if i did, thenw hat

Oh sorry

[umbral narwhal]

The default CfgRemoteExec is blank. I guess something else in your modset is blocking stuff.

[kindred solstice]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

it could be any of the 90 mods (-2)

[umbral narwhal]

Yes, that's why you don't try to develop with 90 mods

[kindred solstice]

i'm not the one that did that, but i'll tell him

[uncut trellis]

you may need to make this thing work alone first then add more mods

[umbral narwhal]

There are ways to determine where it's coming from but that's pretty complex.

[kindred solstice]

how complex

there shouldn't be any mods that restrict the remote exec

all the mod we used are popular ones so except the makers did an oupsi it shouldn't be that

[umbral narwhal]

every config entry including CfgRemoteExec is tagged with the mod that added it. You can look them up with configSourceAddonList.

[kindred solstice]

is that a file ?

[umbral narwhal]

Yeah too complex. This is both scripting and config stuff, so if you don't know either it's going to take too long to explain.

[kindred solstice]

i see

[uncut trellis]

simplest solution is go back to basics first

only develop this functionality to work on your server without any other mods

then add other stuff on top

[kindred solstice]

that's gonna take a long time...

[uncut trellis]

yes

[kindred solstice]

Okay

[uncut trellis]

there are no fast solutions for making missions

it takes what it takes

[kindred solstice]

can we just try as if it wasn't a mod error

[uncut trellis]

especially when you develop new features

[kindred solstice]

and that it just is the server that isn't configured right

[uncut trellis]

no

[kindred solstice]

hm

[uncut trellis]

too much can happen with other mods

[kindred solstice]

So i remove all mods but Ace because i need handcuff, and i add mods after cheking if it works ?

[uncut trellis]

pretty much

[kindred solstice]

oh well i should be able to do with batches

like addign 10 mods instead of 1 by 1

[uncut trellis]

sure

[kindred solstice]

now the question is what can i remove without breaking the missions ?

[uncut trellis]

perhaps start another one just to figure out the cuff stuff

[kindred solstice]

i guess i'm just gonna try @ace;@ACE3ExtensionAnimationsandActions;@TwinLakes

[uncut trellis]

complex mission making is long process

[kindred solstice]

This isn't supposed to be complex...

the worst is that it's mostly by friend that make the stuff

[uncut trellis]

it is complex the moment you add 90 mods and non vanilla mechanics

[kindred solstice]

he just gave me the task to fix what isn't working

[uncut trellis]

sounds simple sure

its not

[kindred solstice]

i'm an idiot

[uncut trellis]

that we cant help im afraid 😅

[kindred solstice]

please tell me that modding reforger is easier

[uncut trellis]

eh

some parts maybe

some not so much

[kindred solstice]

et merde

oh well, i can pray for when i'll actually have to mod it

[kindred solstice]

i basically can't do that, the mission map require a lot of mods and i can't find manually which is what, i'm trying something else, search in all the mods pbo if any contain the text CfgRemoteExec

[umbral narwhal]

Missions acquire false dependencies of any mod that was loaded when they were saved. You can load it in editor and resave to work around that, although if there are real dependencies then you may have issues.

[kindred solstice]

that's... a funny error

[golden nova]

Alternatively merge it with an empty scenario, but then you'll have to move any custom files from the old mission to new

[kindred solstice]

I think i foudn what i searched for

Those are all mods pbo that contain the word "CfgRemoteExec"

checking all of them manually

FIR_AirWeaponSystem_US_cfg.pbo looks like this

while something like antsisnazy looks like this

So the only mod that could cause issue is FIR Air Weapons

it's the best bet i have

[umbral narwhal]

shrugs

We haven't even confirmed that it's a CfgRemoteExec error. You didn't paste it and I don't know what they look like.

[kindred solstice]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

in the log the server is crying about users trying to remoteexec the "switchmove" command

if the remote exec is supposed to be "Allow all" by default, then it means that something is changeing it to something else and causes issues

[kindred solstice]

if you have some time, can you explain me how to do that

[umbral narwhal]

well, first find CfgRemoteExec in config viewer.

Check both main and mission namespaces.

[kindred solstice]

like do i just write teh command while in game in the chat ?

[umbral narwhal]

no

[kindred solstice]

One of those i assume ?

[umbral narwhal]

No.

[kindred solstice]

ah

[umbral narwhal]

Config viewer is only usable in-game.

[kindred solstice]

how do i open that ?

[umbral narwhal]

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

[kindred solstice]

I tried to add enableDebugConsole = 2; to the config file

but it doesn't seem to work

[umbral narwhal]

Are you even logged in as admin?

[kindred solstice]

yes i am

[umbral narwhal]

How do you tell if you don't have a debug console :P

[kindred solstice]

it's supposed to open either when i press ctrl + D

or in the pause menu

no ?

[umbral narwhal]

Yes.

[kindred solstice]

or at least the debug console is supposed to appear

and i can open the config viewer there

but it doesn't work either

[umbral narwhal]

There are apparently four different ways to block debug console access and three of them aren't documented adequately, so good luck with that.

[kindred solstice]

i think i'm just gonna give up

and we're gonna shot any suspects

no suspect = no need to handcuff

thks anyway

[uncut trellis]

as per #rules no crossposting same thing on many channels

[fresh jetty]

Hello my unit and I are trying to figure it out a problem with advanced ace balistics, The problem is that:

The ace balistics show us the range card information when it comes to the scope (Mildots/zeroing) issue it doesn't let us do the 0.1 mod instead it does the 50 by 50 modification as well wind doesn't work.

How can we solve this?

Addon configure that we're using

[hybrid obsidian]

My game lost radar, how do i get it back? I reset difficulty settings, started new game and radar appeared, but then it vanished again. Im playing contact.

[hybrid obsidian]

I meant compass.

[golden vale]

check the keybinds I dont remember them from the top of my head but there were different keybinds for smaller/larger increase in zeroing for ace advanced

[fresh jetty]

Smaller 0.1

Larger 1.0

The thing is that the game only increases 50 by 50

[fading pulsar]

Scope you are using in your screenshot is not in mildots, its in meters, hence it says 350m (meters). You are using simple zeroing, there is option to disable that in settings.

Since you are zeroing in meters range card is useless

[fringe salmon]

I'm inside a tank I order to shoot on the target but npc doesn't shoot why?

[steady hawk]

You need to specify more situations.

• What tank?
• What weapon?
• What target?
• Mods?

[fringe salmon]

I indicate to the tank the target with which to fire by also selecting the weapon but immediately shoot with the machine gun instead with the cannon fire once I get out of the tank

[steady hawk]

I would like to hear “exact” answer than just the summary, summary doesn't mean anything so will not lead to the answer

What exactly is yout tank? What exactly is the target? What exactly is the weapon? Do you have any Mods? Especially AI related Mods?

[fringe salmon]

I disable ia mod

But yes i have +30 mod

[steady hawk]

I thought I questioned 4 things, but you only answered one answer?

[fringe salmon]

I try disabling all

[steady hawk]

Please, answer me...

[pine kite]

AI won't shoot weapons that is not appropriate for certain targets. So that is why POLPOX is asking for specific details.

[fringe salmon]

Abrams cannon 120 enemy tank and armored car

[steady hawk]

Are you sure your gunner selects the 120mm cannon?

[fringe salmon]

yes I go to the gunner and put the cannon

[steady hawk]

Then try Left Ctrl + LMB

[fringe salmon]

I select the target and put it to engage or open fire

but nothing happens

[steady hawk]

Then try Left Ctrl + LMB
Have you tried?

[fringe salmon]

when selected engages the cannon moves

[fringe salmon]

Work

[steady hawk]

Work, as in Worked? Does it solve the issue?

[fringe salmon]

Yes

[fringe salmon]

if you click it it sets me on fire and it doesn't shoot if you click it again it gives me a ceasefire

[steady hawk]

I don't know what exactly you wanted to say. The issue is still on or not?

[fringe salmon]

Click 1 fire click 2 cease-fire

[steady hawk]

Answer in still on or not, you're just confusing me

[fringe salmon]

solved I just had to change the weapon

[fresh jetty]

Do you Know where I can find y hay option?

[fading pulsar]

Its under ace ballistics. But i cant remember exact setting

[sweet ice]

I'd need some help with server hosting, no matter what i do be it port foward or enabling UPNP on my router settings my friends can't see the server

The server port forwards fine and it all looks fine, but people can't see the server

[umbral narwhal]

Time to figure out whether you're on CGNAT

[sweet ice]

What's that

[umbral narwhal]

Basically a second layer of NAT imposed on you by your ISP.

[sweet ice]

How do i check that

[umbral narwhal]

Go into your router config, find your WAN IP address.

If it's in a reserved IP range then it's CGNAT. If it's the same as your externally visible IP (eg. google "what's my IP") then it's not.

[sweet ice]

If only i could find my WAN IP

[umbral narwhal]

you found the port forwarding page. Can't be that much harder.

[sweet ice]

Doesn't say anything bout WAN

My router doesn't really have it as port forwarding, for me it's IPv4 Port Mapping

Could you maybe hop on VC so i could stream?@umbral narwhal

[umbral narwhal]

go on then

[sweet ice]

General voice?

[umbral narwhal]

(it was CGNAT)

[sweet ice]

Unlucky 😢

[misty osprey]

Not sure where else to go so this the last place imm go until I just straight up buy a new key of arma. So I can not join any servers. Like none. No Vanilla and cant join the server I own for my unit. Im not sure what could be causing the issue. What happens is if the server is creating a game, it will get to the point where you can see the map (you know as your loading in) but it stays there. I can type and all that but it will not go to the screen where I can choose a job. And sometimes if the game is going, it will take me to the job screen but there will be no jobs to even choose. So if anyone else has had this type of issue, help would be very much appreciated.

[subtle gale]

My game keeps crashing with "DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED" anyone got any ideas?

[umbral narwhal]

GPU/driver dying most likely.

[misty osprey]

Talking to him or me?

[umbral narwhal]

Him.

You should turn off your VPN and/or restart your router.

[fringe salmon]

Does anyone know how to fix Exit code: 0xC0000005- STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION

i

I tried many things but sadly none of them worked

I use some mods

[uncut trellis]

first rule of debugging is turn off all mods.

next check out the BIwiki pages for unusual process exit and that particular access violation

it is unfortunately very common one and can be caused by many things

also if you have USB headset you cat check out the pinned messages for a bug related to them

[fringe salmon]

Well I run normally when I go into my own server like solo but when I join my friends also we have the same mods it just crashes

That’s what I am confused about

[wicked wharf]

Hello, after downloading addons called Scion Empire and sci-fi plus, it did something to my game where i cant put any infantry down

all i have is empty v ehicles

and i cant use arsenal

It keeps saying cmanbase.scope when i start up in menu

[steady hawk]

1. in doubt, verify
2. check a good method to tell who is the faulty Mod

[wicked wharf]

i did that before but it didnt work, i had to take away all the mods

but when i put back mods that arn't even related to the new mods that caused this to happen

[steady hawk]

3. Do NOT abbreviate any error messages but tell us only the exact message

[wicked wharf]

yeah

here is my start up one
bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/CManBase.scope

when i go to virtual arsenal its
bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/C_man_1.mapSize

[steady hawk]

OMG it just tells how bad the Mod is. Don't ask me which. Just try to figure by yourself

[wicked wharf]

cba

[steady hawk]

?

[wicked wharf]

i cant put down any units.....

and i cant find these files

[steady hawk]

??

[wicked wharf]

I figured out, its the drone counter suite mod

[golden vale]

Verify your game and make sure you dont have any mods loaded/ if you are joining your server and it is giving you an empty role select that is likely a missing dependency on the server aka the server doesnt have all the mods it needs for the mission

[fringe salmon]

does anyone know how to fix the error version 3.15.0 on the mods ace and cbu latest versions?

[quaint jewel]

More details. What is the full message you are seeing, at best a screenshot

[fringe salmon]

one sec

[fringe salmon]

i had to do it on the phone cuz it's a glitch

i fixed ace btw

[quaint jewel]

Where did you download CBA from

[fringe salmon]

Can you send a link to the item?

Well that is correct, and that is version 3.15.8

Send rpt log please

!rpt

[fringe salmon]

how im going to fix it

[golden vale]

Check if you can repair the mod in the launcher

[quaint jewel]

I can tell you when I see the RPT

[fringe salmon]

good idea,thats how i fixed ace

[golden vale]

sometimes mods dont automatically update so that could be the problem here

[fringe salmon]

Yea

That's what I thought too

[quaint jewel]

You would've had to not update your mods for 4 years, to get this error message

[golden vale]

is 13.0 a 4 year old version ?

jesus

[quaint jewel]

November 2019

[golden vale]

oh boy

[fringe salmon]

Probably,it says the error its only on the 2 mods

But ace is fixed already

Ill see now the other mod

it doesnt work,it says it's outdated the mod

@quaint jewel i tried to undownload it like 2 times but it still dont work. What if ill uninstall arma 3 and after ill put the mods again?

[quaint jewel]

Well you can do that if you want.
My guess is you have the mod installed twice

uninstalling Arma should delete that

[fringe salmon]

wdym installed twice

i just have a one mod

[quaint jewel]

I mean installed twice, copied manually somehow

its surprisingly common for people to manually copy old versions of mods into the base game files.. somehow
I don't know why it happens but it does. Probably following some bad old youtube tutorials

[fringe salmon]

so what's your idea

abt how i can fix it

[quaint jewel]

Find where the duplicate files are (RPT log lists every file that was loaded, so would show duplicate) and delete them

[fringe salmon]

in the arma 3?

[quaint jewel]

In the game folder

[fringe salmon]

alr,ill try

cant find it,there's only missions and some saved things in the folder

but they are empty

[fringe salmon]

isnt this also a good idea? @quaint jewel

cuz they are empty

[quaint jewel]

I already told you that here #arma3_troubleshooting message

[fringe salmon]

so? i cant make it again?

[golden vale]

thats even safe?

[honest mountain]

I'm having trouble with armor vehicles, particularly those in the RHS pack. If it has an AI crew, there are no issues. However if two players are operating, say, a BMD, and the driver hops out BEFORE the gunner, the armor piece launches itself into lower earth orbit

I cannot find any TS info anywhere on this issue

[tight quail]

The B_IONS missing something says the Author is CarBomber9000, which I can't find any record of whatsoever in order to track down whatever mod it was that's making the Ion Helicopter disappear, that might be associated with the Cargo_Post (Rusty) and Long Green Sandbag disappearances that've corrupted my save from this morning.

[shell tide]

Hey can anyone here host arma with radmin?

I used to be able a long time ago but last few times ive tried it hasnt worked

no matter if its me hosting or the other player

idk what changed for it to not work anymore

[uncut trellis]

Broken mods simply need to be disabled. If author can't be found to fix them, not really much that can be realistically done.

[tight quail]

How to track down a mod that seems to have disappeared entirely without any mod list interaction; logged on after building this mission and somehow my mods changed and 3 primary assets from the mission up and disappeared from the editor asset lists, and only one gives a mod error to track stating B_IONS by CarBomber9000, who I can find no record of. Then there's the rusty cargo posts and long green sandbags that have disappeared as well, the sandbags I had the code name for and Bing AI tracked it down to supposedly being from Extended Base, which I actually do have enabled, so it's a deadend trying to figure out where the conflict on that one is.

Is there a way to spit out all the mods involved in a mission's making?

[delicate elm]

Got a guy who reports that they are getting a texture warning pop-up on their server recently using a feature in a mod that was not happening in the past (the feature has not changed for years). The warning is: Warning Message: Can not create source for procedural texture - probably badly formed texture name: "#(argb,8,8,3)color(0,0,0,1)"#(argb,8,8,3)color(0,0,0,1)" Anyone see anything obvious in this? Texture looks fine based on perusal of the Biki page on procedural textures...

[lime sphinx]

I remember hearing about close enough error message with CUP humvees or something like that. And at that time it was indeed caused by badly formed procedure texture string

[delicate elm]

I think they'll be coming here. I don't use that addon myself so just reporting what they've reported

Odd that it was not an issue in the past...

And (argb,8,8,3)color(0,0,0,1) is almost identitical to textures in the biki, just a 1 rather than 0 in the colour definition

[lime sphinx]

I see tickets with this same error string in cup discord from march

The problem is: it's repeated twice

[delicate elm]

Oh, I thought that was just the warning message being meh, like other ARMA warning messages in the past lol

[fringe salmon]

Is there a mod I should remove due to 0xC0000005- STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION

[uncut trellis]

00005 is very common/non specific error im afraid and while some mod could perhaps lead to it, it is usually something else causing it

you can test if the game runs normally without mods in same situation you were in but it might not really be easily reproducible

there is a wiki page about unusual process exits in Arma and I recall there are some common reasons and possible fixes listed for 00005 there too

link can be found in the pinned messages

also there is a chance its related to USB audio if you are using some audio device that is connected with any kind of USB connection

Some servers might be set quite strict, but unless you have 300 ping to the US I doubt you'd have that general a problem.

[uncut trellis]

could it be a problem with something ISP blocks?

(throwing wild ideas around)

[umbral narwhal]

It's connecting, just dropping out later. Some ISPs used to put low priority on UDP but that'd hurt other games too.

I don't think they bother these days because games are lower traffic than youtube.

[native vessel]

its connecting. it stays connected just fine in the role assignment sceen. itll stay connected in the respawn screen but the second i jump into the game, 10 seconds later, im getting dropped

ive checked my isp optiopns, there are no rules or exceptions, its all open

[umbral narwhal]

All that traffic is the same UDP port anyway.

[native vessel]

turned off my firewall and antivirus, idk... made sure all my drivers r upto date

im going to sleep. maybe someone from europe could take a look at this thread and throw some ideas. thansk for the help fella.s

Does single player game start normally?

[quaint jewel]

Yes, that procedural Tex string is clearly wrong. It's duplicated

That warning is indeed new. It being wrong is not new

[delicate elm]

Thanks. I'll take a look and remediate that code

I'm trying to spawn in a napalm bomb in front of a player once they enter a trigger. I tested it with a vanilla GBU:

bomb = " Bo_GBU12_LGB" createVehicle (player modelToWorld [0,50,20]);

Which works perfectly, it spawns a GBU 50m in front and 20m above the player. But when I change the class name to Prairie Fire napalm, as per https://wiki.sogpf.com/index.php/CfgWeapons_Vehicle_Weapons:

bomb = " vn_bomb_blu1b_750_fb_launcher" createVehicle (player modelToWorld [0,50,20]);

Nothing spawns, and there is no explosion, which leads me to believe the class name is wrong. Any idea what might be the problem?

And yes, I do have Prairie Fire loaded

[golden nova]

ditch the space after first quote mark, there is no reason for it to exist there. And it doesn't do anything because you are spawning a weapon not an actual munition. vn_bomb_750_blu1b_fb_ammo should be the correct classname

https://wiki.sogpf.com/index.php/CfgMagazines always refer to wiki when you suspect what's the issue.

[blazing whale]

Thanks!! That fixed it.

I'm trying to launch my arma 3 mods so I can play on a server, but it gets stuck on "initializing addons" and the error code is 0xcFFFFFFF - STATIS_APPLICATION_HANG. Please help me.

[junior granite]

hi, having a bit of trouble with my server if anyone could give me a quick hand

trying to launch into my server for the first time and getting this message pop up

tried verifying my game as well as reinstalling the mod to my pc and the server with no luck

[pine kite]

You loaded a mod in your client that the server does not consider allowed. Or you forgot to add the mod's (bi)key file to the server's keys folder.

There is nothing that needs reinstalling. The key files of mods don't get placed automatically where they need to go. Unless you use a rented server management environment of certain companies that have that automated.

[plush imp]

Still nothing for this? Ran into this issue today

and I aint doing a factory reset of my PC

[worn cipher]

Anyone know how to keep the visible daytime laser from turning off on its own?
Or how about preventing the scroll wheel menu from disappearing until I change units or go in/out of arsenal?

[uncut cradle]

Hey so ive had this issue before but i believe I've narrowed down the issue to the mission file itself but as im not as smart as most people in here are i cant figure out the issue. Ill post the rpt and a winrar that has the mission in it (Has the .pbo and folder from Documents) https://sqfbin.com/iforatarunotofafofor

imo i feel like I just feel like the mission file is probably too big and dosent wanna load so it sits in a endless loop of wanting to load and not wanting to load

[rapid gull]

Howdy! I'm hosting a dedicated server on my machine and it works in vanilla. There is a character limit on the shortcut "Target" argument line so I'm trying to use a -par (Arma 3 startup parameters file). Sadly the entire thing seems to not work as the config doesn't work. How do I use -par files?

[rapid gull]

Is it just not loading?

[umbral narwhal]

You can just startup with a batch file to dodge the character limit instead.

[rapid gull]

Do you use OperaGX?

[umbral narwhal]

parameter files should work but I haven't tried it personally.

[rapid gull]

I'm ultra new at this, you make a .bat file by making a file with the .bat extention then editing it right?

[umbral narwhal]

yes.

[rapid gull]

Beautiful. How would I go about making it launch the shortcut with the parameters?

Or the actual server I guess. I could probably not use the shortcut then right?

[umbral narwhal]

yeah it's instead of the shortcut.

you can paste the shortcut target into the batch file as a starting point.

[rapid gull]

Oh! That makes sense. Thank you!

I will give it a shot!

Okay, the .bat file worked but the mods didn't actually attach to it. Am I right to put them in as "-mod=@ace;@RHSGREF;" etc.?

[rapid gull]

Yeah, I can't crack it. The .Bat file works to launch it but the mods still don't initialize

[solar flame]

Stuck in a menu

Hitting "OK" or "CANCEL" results in a "Bad Conversion; scalar" code spam in the .rpt

Started getting this prompt after the .rpt said "Cannot create non-ai vehicle ebs,"

[steady hawk]

1. verify
2. remove Mods

[solar flame]

Yeah in the process now. I actually wiped my Arma 3 install a while ago and started fresh.

[steady hawk]

Uninstall and reinstall does nothing special after all
