I suspect it might be ACE lol.

#

ACE always gives me trouble.

steady hawk
#

Especially if you've ever moved a PBO A to B

If you know it you haven't done it I guess

coral cipher
#

anyone else having an issue where you are unable to open arma tools?

#

for me when i try to run it i see a quick white window which immediately closes

#

then the entire program just ends

#

on steam and also in task manager

lime sphinx
#

strange stuff. For me if it flashes and disappears - it's usually hidden to system tray

coral cipher
#

yes it used to do the same to me

#

but now it isnt even there

#

the entire program just ends immediately

steady hawk
#

You can just open the desired tool from Explorer directly

coral cipher
#

guess so yes

#

will use this then

#

thx

steady hawk
#

More like I see no reason to use through Steam

#

Yeah you actually need to open it for once, to agree, but if you've done it already, why not

golden vale
#

Didnt see anyone mention this before but if you dont want to force people to use only the mods you have added on the server but want to allow them to have client side mods aswell for their choosing i.e jsrs/blastcore/ better inventory etc. then in the server config file make sure to set verifySignatures = 0;

coral cipher
#

not sure if this is normal when starting manually

#

but i opened the imagetopaagui.exe

#

got this

steady hawk
#

You can try to reinstall NET framework

coral cipher
#

i did actually

#

downloaded the latest versionf

#

for some reason its still happening

#

idk i mean it sort of works

#

just click continue and im in

#

didnt test if theres usable results

steady hawk
#

And restart your PC?

#

Yup, It loads allows other missions files to be loaded f.ex Antiasti but not this, So i feel like its something with the mission itself.

fringe salmon
#

The game freezes when I wanna load my mods and then when I interact it crashes

golden vale
#

What is the longest time you've waited for it to load

#

cause slower pc's need to give arma some time to load especially modded arma

I have an issue with logging onto "official" servers to play Warlords. I play those regularly, including just yesterday, but today it gave me issues. Really it is logging into ANY official server. I select a server and select JOIN at bottom right, then the ALTIS map comes up. This is where I'm supposed to load the mission file and join the server, but nothing happens. It just stays on that map of ALTIS with the little info about it at the bottom. I've even left it to go watch TV for 10-15 minutes, then came back, and its still on that ALTIS map screen????
Ive tried to log onto 01e and 01w Warlords servers, Escape from servers - ANY server from the list, it doesnt load
I just played this yesterday, and mostly daily for the past week - no issues until today....

#

I'm supposed to go from that screen to the queue screen, where I choose to join either Opfor or BLufor factions, then join the actual game. But the queue screen is not opening up - it just stays on that ALTIS map loading screen.

Steam is having issues, not letting you log in

Was just searching for problems because another admin said he had this after updating his server, so i tried to replicate and had the same issue meowsweats

primal lynx
#

Im trying to host a server on my computer using co10 escape and cup, I have all the mods and the ports are forwarded on my router. It was working fine yesterday, however today when I tried to host there are no player slots on the server. If i host the server on lan there are player slots. I have no clue what is happening.

#

This also seems to be happening so any game i try to host on internet not just modded ones

#

however with lan it works

quaint jewel
#

missing slots means missing mods

#

check server log

primal lynx
#

is there a reason why it would work on lan and not internet

quaint jewel
#

the internet server not loading the correct mods?

#

Are you running from game client? where you can also host lan without restarting? then probably the steam issue

primal lynx
#

im running from the game

quaint jewel
#

but that shouldn't be empty slots, that should be stuck in loading screen

#

OH

#

Yes if you host, then you'll see empty slots instead of loading screen

#

yeah it'll be steam being down

primal lynx
#

oh

#

has it just been down td

quaint jewel
#

scroll up

#

literally exactly one message above yours is talking about it

primal lynx
#

oh shit lmao

#

alright thanks

Guys i bought arma 3 today, and after completing all the tutorials i wanted to play sum on servers. But when i click on the internet tab nothing shows up. How can i fix it?

steady hawk
#

Which internet tab?

alpine tundra
#

#

@steady hawk

steady hawk
#

How about Official?

alpine tundra
#

they do

steady hawk
#

Then you can play on it

alpine tundra
#

yeah but i wanna play w more players

#

#

why isnt the internet tab showing up

steady hawk
#

Heard Steam has an issue recently, maybe related

alpine tundra
#

also i wanna add

#

that before playing the tutorials and stuff it did show up

#

@steady hawk

steady hawk
#

?

alpine tundra
steady hawk
#

I don't know that explains anything

#

One thing I can say is make sure you have no filters

alpine tundra
#

xDDDDDD

#

that fixed everything

#

thank you very much

pine kite
#

That or press the refresh button to request the list from Steam again. It probably was Steam having a 'down day'. Or you somehow have a vpn enabled that sends the pings to the servers the wrong way, or not along the right return way.

#

It's best to use the serverbrowser in the launcher anyway. As you will no doubt find servers that needs mods. And with the ingame serverbrowser you can't change mods anymore. The launcher serverbrowser can get you the required mods for the server subscribed, downloaded and start the game with them before connecting you to it.

How do I fix "Unable to import preset" error?

honest jackal
#

So i keep getting a stutter every time i try and play, like the game freezes for a second every 5 or so

#

so i opened up task manager on a second screen and apparently it's spiking my GPU to 100% every few seconds

#

idk why it's doing this or how to stop it, it didn't use to do this (also its a 1050)

umbral narwhal
#

Does it matter what graphics settings or mods you use?

honest jackal
#

Nope

#

Actually I ran it with mods and it worked fine

#

But like 50% of the time

#

Vanillas fucked

#

It used to be that it’d do the freezing for like 5 mins then go smooth but now it’s just like that

#

Also I’m running it on an SSD so I don’t think it’s that

#

It’s makes the game completely unplayable though

I’m getting kicked with a BattlEye Client Not Responding message when I try to join my dedicated server. I never had any issues until I installed Arma Reforger, which had me download BattlEye as well. I tried uninstalling Reforger as well which didn’t help. I also tried a workaround I saw where you uncheck Battleye in the launcher settings, start a single player mission, close out and recheck Battleye and see if it works. Haven’t been able to find any way around this. Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks, man. I read the channel names, but somehow missed these.

you need to double click the .ts3_plugin file

#

and then select with ts3 plugin installer

haughty onyx
#

with what option though

ocean cosmos
#

package_inst.exe somewhere in ts3 installation folder

haughty onyx
#

that is the ts3 installer it boots up this menu

ocean cosmos
#

no thats the tfar plugin installer

you need to open it with package_inst.exe

Hey guys. I've noticed massive FPS drops recently. Ofcourse the FPS depends on settings, amount of Ai and stuff. But no matter what, Low or Ultra, When I start walking/running my FPS drop by half. Any ideas?

restive stream
#

Hey there everyone. I decided to try getting to Arma again after a break, and when I tried to import the preset that I'd been sent, the launcher simply gave me this error.

I've reinstalled the game, unsubscribed to all my mods, and verified my game files, to no avail.

I was curious if anyone here has any ideas as to how to troubleshoot or fix this issue?

Unabletoimport.png
pine kite
#

Check the file you are trying to import and see if it is actually an HTML file.

restive stream
pine kite
#

Where did you get the file from? Maybe it is corrupt somehow.

restive stream
pine kite
#

Can you upload that file here?

restive stream
#

Sure thing

restive stream
pine kite
#

Fair enough, it's a proper html file according to Google anyway. But one thing for sure, there are way to many mods in that list for a server to work properly. Also many terrain mods for which you only use one at a time. And 2 Antistasi mods that would conflict when loaded together. Never throw all juicy mods together and hope it works. Only load the ones you actually need. My advice: start with just 1 antistasi mod (either Community The Mod or Plus), one terrain that you will play on and it's dependant mods. If it loads, slowly start adding mods until it fails. Like those faction mods. And don't load any AI mods as they mess up how Antistasi works.

#

I don't know why it doesn't load in your launcher.

pls help

i dont use mods

when im playing a scenario in eden editior there is no move waypoints

uncut trellis

did you make move waypoints?

dire holly
#

yes for the player

dire holly
#

is there anybody in there?

#

guess not

uncut trellis
#

no

#

but maybe with this additional information someone can figure out asnwers or more questions to lead to answers

dire holly
#

could it possibly be the settings?

sterile flicker
#

everytime I try to reload opcom I get this

#

It is saying you are trying to load a saved file and you unloaded TFAR since then

sterile flicker
#

What’s TFAR?

#

Cuz I never unloaded it or atleast don’t think so

steady hawk
#

Task Force Arrowhead Radio

sterile flicker
#

Ok

steady hawk
#

Or something similar name, it's for MP anyways so you never need one in SP

steady hawk
# dire holly could it possibly be the settings?

First, patience. second, explain what exactly you've done, what is the expected result and how is the result. You lack both. This is not a 247 customer service, please try to elaborate accordingly.

Bunch of waypoints, where?

dire holly

across the island of stratis

steady hawk
#

I don't mean that, in which part of gameplay?

dire holly
#

oh

#

like

#

eden editor?

#

or am i misunderstanding

steady hawk
#

Yes you are. In Editor's preview, you see a gameplay. So, which part of it?

#

3D perspective? Or a 2D map?

dire holly
#

can you dumb that down a bit

dire holly

Then check both difficulties and WPs' settings

Difficulties.

dire holly
#

(sorry for all these questions btw)

steady hawk
#

I'm not asking you to say sorry

pine kite
#

Arma 3 difficulty settings has an option to show waypoints or not.

dire holly
#

that makes sense

#

yeah

#

uh

pine kite
#

Could also be limited by server difficulty settings.

steady hawk
#

Also please don't spam Enter too

dire holly
dire holly
#

i dont see any settings in difficulty for waypoints

#

is it like group indicators or name tags?

dire holly
#

ok where did bros go

#

when im in a conversation i dont expect the other party to dissapear randomly

uncut trellis
#

people here talk when they can

#

you will need to have patience

dire holly
#

its still annoying

uncut trellis
#

for sure. but nothing can be done about it

dire holly
#

well

#

can you help me?

uncut trellis
#

no I dont know more about your issue

#

I just got you started in describing it in more detail that someone else might be able to pick it up

#

that may happen later when europe wakes up

dire holly
#

righttrt

#

i forgot about europe

uncut trellis
#

though its monday and people go to work, so might be later in the day too

dire holly
#

im only 13 and i have a bedtime (cringe ik)

#

so if they need any extra info i wont be able to provide it

uncut trellis
#

people far older than you have bedtimes too

dire holly
#

at least i think

uncut trellis
#

you think wrong

dire holly
#

oh

uncut trellis
#

people with work need to go to bed and wake up at reqular times usually

dire holly
#

i didnt think abt that

uncut trellis
#

your bed time now, teaches you importance of sleep and how to manage work life in the future.

#

but enjoy the time between now and then

#

now if someone knows more about your issue they are likley going to reply to your question and youll see it later

#

sometime finding answers takes a while

What would happen if I ran gm, ws, sogpf at the same time in Zeus

#

I want to use all the assets

steady hawk
#

You will see those CDLC assets in Zeus

summer mantle
#

Just was wondering if my game would be lagging too much or something

#

I started loading multiple a few days ago

steady hawk
#

There's nothing to concern about it. CDLC conflict and crash or any issues are different thing

summer mantle
#

So they don’t crash each other

steady hawk
#

Usually

summer mantle
#

Have you tried it

steady hawk
#

Not really

#

As the Launcher says, "There is no guarantee to work everything properly", just like Mods

summer mantle
#

Does anyone mix the cdlcs in Zeus or Is it just me

steady hawk
#

Some do some don't

summer mantle
#

What’s the most common issue

steady hawk
#

Depends

summer mantle
#

So the cdlcs are mods that can only be loaded one at a time

#

Honestly that’s just annoying

steady hawk
#

I never said so

#

This is the official statement and this is the only thing you should to know

If it is simply "no error, just crash" just say so

It says Arma 3 has exited in an unusual manner then gives me a exit code

It is always a bad idea to abbreviate any of error messages, but let me guess STATUS ACCESS VIOLATION?

PSA

Do not abbreviate or skip some words if you want to troubleshoot and you got some error messages.
Also, please do not summarize what you've done and result, always try to explain the details, step by step.
We will try to listen to you, and will ask if something is unknown yet to solve the issue.
We always welcome such details:

  • What exactly you've tried, expected result and what you got
  • Error messages
  • Singleplayer/Multiplayer
  • Server
  • Mission/gamemode
  • Used assets (try to be exact, like from which Mod or classNames)
  • Loaded Mods
  • PC specs (OS, CPU, GPU, RAM etc)
  • RPT files
  • If you can, reproduce step
    Last but not least, be nice to someone who tries to help you.

#

If you hop straight from eden to zeus that could cause it idk i've never seen anything like this

#

so maybe after evert time you finish making a mission in eden do a quick game restart

#

could solve it

granite cobalt

#

so it still shows even if you havent entered eden ?

Try verifying integrity of game files and if that doesnt fix it start checking the mods you are using for zeus/eden cause one of them could be broken

bronze river

what is opcom?

in vanilla squad system just selec them with F1-F12 depending on which number ur unit is, then press 6 and choose to where they should rearm

#

you can select any dead body, ammo box, vehicle, just make sure it has the correct resources based on your faction

i dont think there is a way to spawn weapon crates on play without using Zeus or script

golden vale
# dire holly i placed down the waypoints in eden and they won't show in the scenario test

So you've put down waypoints like move/attack/guard this area which are mainly used for ai on the player and it didnt show up? Simple solution and a thing most people use is map markers or mission objectives in zeus and the difficulty settings people refer to are server/mission settings you need to write yourself not a checkmark you click but they should be turned on under the default recruit/regular mission difficulty

Hey, this isn't specifically arma, but I'm trying to trouble shoot Ace Medical right now. It's literally game breaking and I can't find what's messing it up. I only have Ace and CBA_A3 loaded, but every shot to an armored chest creates a bruise and nothing else. I'm using default Nato infantry and their weapons against eachother.

golden nova
#

that's ace for you. Caliber and distance matters.

grim wing
#

uhh

#

A little bit more than caliber and distance imo

#

this is new behavior to me

golden nova
# grim wing A little bit more than caliber and distance imo

if you plan to reveal more and more with time instead of giving as much detail as possible from the beginning then it will be hard to give you a proper way of troubleshooting this, imagine.

If you get the same behaviour with vanilla game + ACE then go into addon settings, look for damage/ballistics categories and tweak them to match what you want to see.

grim wing
#

Sorry, I thought I was extremely descriptive in my original post, see "but every shot to an armored chest creates a bruise and nothing else" theres no condition there

patent kettle
#

Might be issue with armors you're using having too high values to work properly with ACE.
RHS armors do not play well with it. Next ACE update should improve the situation a bit.

grim wing
#

I unloaded every mod, and I'm using default units. The behavior is the same

golden nova
#

are you testing this with default ACE settings or have you customized them already?

grim wing
#

I've customized them in the past, but I don't believe I've touched any settings recently. Can you tell me how to reset to default settings? New profile?

patent kettle
#

No setting affects how wounds are created tho.

#

So IDK, vanilla ofc works fine with ACE. Provide RPT from when you have the issue with only CBA+ACE loaded.

golden nova
golden vale
#

Im 100% sure this would be ace medical setting issue

I'll send RPT

golden vale
#

Well based on that short vid that i saw meowsweats

grim wing
#

That wasn't the right one lmao

golden nova
#

lol

grim wing
#

That unit didn't have armor, I don't think

golden vale
#

he did

grim wing
golden nova
#

and this is the new profile with default settings?

grim wing
#

Not new profile, yet.

#

But even if that was the fix, what in my settings is making units THAT resistant?

patent kettle
#

You've literally choosen only one problematic vest in vanilla.

#

GL vest has like 70 armor

patent kettle
#

If you want bruises to be able to kill the units use Sum of Trauma

golden vale
#

Try other vests and if you dont have any issues its most likely the armor mod you are using

patent kettle
patent kettle
#

Stop adding misleading info please.

grim wing
#

I've literally NEVER had this issue before. Using the vests I use now ([VSM] Multicam DT FACP (Operator))

#

New profile, same deal

patent kettle
#

This issue was there for the last 3-4 years since we rewrote the damage handling.

patent kettle
patent kettle
golden vale
#

not saying this will fix anything but there is also a mod called ace armor adjusted that i've seen work on adjusting armor pen for both ai and players so you can give that a try

grim wing
#

But my question is, why are my vests, which never had an issue in the past, suddenly only giving bruises while taking fire from the same guns?

patent kettle
grim wing
#

My armor mod?

patent kettle
#

Magic then.

#

If it gives only bruises its armor is too high. It's that simple.

patent kettle
grim wing
#

How do I get the actual armor value for a vest?

uncut trellis
#

config viewer can show it

patent kettle
grim wing
#

Ended up poking through the mod, pretty sure I found the vest that my vest inherits from is this an absurd enough value to eat 2 mags of whatever that gun was, at point blank?

image.png
golden nova
#

check the messages above.

#

it's in context of how ace behaves with these values.

lime sphinx
#

Arma damage calculations blobcloseenjoy

dire holly
#

but thank you anyways!

grim wing
patent kettle
#

Not sure, vanilla riflman vest has 16 armor IIRC, I do not remember the amount that's starting to cause issues.

#

But if it does not work right now I would assume this is too high, bear in mind it might also depend on weapons used etc.

grim wing
#

So my fix is to either modify the vest config values, find another vest, or see if I can find another mod that modifies ace damage values?

patent kettle
#

Basically yes

#

but no clue how reliable it is.

patent kettle
grim wing
#

That's super sick! Thanks for assisting with your knowledge.

golden vale
#

Personally use it only on the ai

honest jackal
#

my game keeps freezing for a second every couple seconds

#

like constantly stuttering

#

is there a fix for this?

golden vale
#

Well are you running mods ?

honest jackal
#

nope

#

vanilla

#

it's basically unplayable

golden nova
#

are you subscribed to any missions or compositions on workshop?

honest jackal
#

didn't fix it

golden nova
#

but did you try unsubscribing from all?

honest jackal
#

not the ones i use regularly

golden vale
#

verify integrity of game files maybe

honest jackal
#

my games a bit fucked

golden vale
#

Wrong command oops

honest jackal
#

it doesn't show up on steam as installed anymore]

#

so i cant verify

#

only open via launcher shortcut

golden nova
#

and how did you manage to do that?

golden vale
severe coyote
#

I am new to ARMA but have been watching YouTube for many years. Super stoked to be a part of the community finally! Having some issues - after I successfully downloaded a mod and play a couple games with it and then turn my Xbox off, the next time I go to join that same sever it says I have don’t have a mod(s) downloaded even though I downloaded them the day before. When I check my tab that shows all the downloaded mods, the mods that I did have downloaded are now shown as not downloaded…but when I go to redownload them I get an error message and am unable to redownload them. So the only thing I can do to be able to redownload the mod(s) is to delete all my mods and then redownload them…super frustrating. I have been playing on the public server 2nd Rangers Kunar Afgh. Anyone have any thoughts??

honest jackal
#

nothing broke tho luckily

#

also its unrelated becuase there was a good month between that and the issue

golden nova
#

this doesn't matter much, mechanical issues with drives can get worse with time.

golden vale
golden nova
#

even if it looks like it's good from the beginning

honest jackal
#

i think its a graphics card issue because i reinstalled it yesterday and it worked fine for about an hour

severe coyote
#

@golden vale yes, Xbox series X

honest jackal
#

then there was a new update today and it broke

golden nova
#

there was no update to Arma today, if anything updated then a mod of yours. And I doubt it's an issue as you are saying that Steam doesn't see it.

honest jackal
#

geforce update

#

for me graphics card

golden vale
#

@severe coyote so yeah head on over to #reforger_troubleshooting chat as most of the people here are for arma 3 related troubleshooting not arma reforger

severe coyote
#

@golden vale got it thank you 🙏🏾

golden nova
#

if you think that's drivers issue then roll them back to the previous version.

honest jackal
#

it's not lettign me lmao

#

ill try it tho

#

but the previous update also had the same bug

golden nova
#

then it's not a driver update issue.

honest jackal
#

it's been going on for like 2 weeks

#

idk what it is

golden nova
#

you said someone messed up your SSD, it's pretty straightforward to me

honest jackal
#

how do i fix it

golden nova
#

move your game to any other drive or reinstall it so Steam sees it again

honest jackal
#

bruh

#

i cannot discribe how much of a monumental task that'd be

golden vale
#

I mean you said it yourself the game isnt showing up on steam for you that is a pretty big red flag for why stuff might not be working

golden nova
#

you want the game fixed, you have to dedicate a few minutes to it.

honest jackal
#

whenever i try to reinstall it on steam it only lets me do it on the D or C drive

#

which i don't have enough space for

honest jackal
golden nova
#

then you have a very ass SSD my friend

honest jackal
#

no

#

ass wifi

#

2mb/s

#

max

#

usually 300-400 kb/s

golden vale
honest jackal
#

yes

#

arma is 117 gb

#

+700 mods it might want to also reinstall for the funny

golden vale
#

have fun meowheart i'd suggest unsubcribing from all of them in the workshop

honest jackal
#

i might do that now tbf

#

i have so many pointless mods from different units

#

also what do i do because it say's i can't install on the E drive\

#

but i do not have enough space on the D drive

golden vale
#

if im not wrong if you pick the drive that already has arma 3 in it in the steam folder it should detect the files that already exists and do basically a validation of them but dont quote me on that

#

cause i think thats what happened last time a game dissapeared of my library but was still installed ( ages ago)

honest jackal
#

yeah it's done that

#

i cannot see the drive in steam, like it's not an available option

#

but i can still play it

golden vale
#

Open steam settings pick storage settings at the top of storage settings click the + icon and go to your ssd or herever you have arma installed and pick that steam/game folder

honest jackal
#

also this shows up when i try to verify game files

#

steam cannot read property 'struserlabel' of undefined

honest jackal
#

my C drive and D drive are the only 2 that show up

#

and i don't have enough storage in either

golden vale
honest jackal
#

yeah

#

but the E drive doesn't show up anymore

#

used to

#

tf do i do lmao

#

should be another

#

also this whenever i try to verify integrity

#

so update:
Now steam gives me the option to play ARMA 3, no longer says uninstalled

#

except the butten doesn't do anything when i press it

#

In the Eden editor how do I select an object to free move it?

uncut trellis
#

so a bug

honest jackal
#

Is there a bug report channel?

uncut trellis
honest jackal
#

Ahh cool

#

It’s literally just blue barrel when you use gl on stomper

uncut trellis
#

best to take a screenshot, the photo does not really show anything properly

honest jackal
#

Barrel blue

#

Should be black

#

When in gun mode it is black, when you switch to gl mode it’s blue

uncut trellis
#

idk, looks black to me blobdoggoshruggoogly

violet pumice
#

I think he means the muzzle

golden nova
#

it's silver on my screen.

#

you can take screenshots with PrtScr or F12 to have them taken through Steam.

honest jackal
#

On phone

golden nova
#

if you can replicate this without mods then make a ticket in feedback tracker

honest jackal
honest jackal

#

As Deep as it goes

golden nova

#

uhh

#

and I asked for screenshot because it's silver/grey on my screen. But yeah there is some proxy or something messed up, a semi-transparent tube is rendered too.

uncut trellis
#

aa now I see it

#

that is probably the parallax cone of the GL sight

#

though it should not be visible

golden nova
#

so a config issue?

uncut trellis
#

model or shader issue maybe

distant ibex
#

for some reason the apex dlc (which im not going to buy) is plastered all over my screen whenever i remote control someone

#

this never happened before and ive been using remote control for weeks now

distant ibex
nova elm
#

The unit you are controlling probably has some Apex DLC gear, which will cause that.

distant ibex
#

ive been using remote control on the same units ive used today

#

in the past

#

it didnt happen before

#

now it does

#

is there a mod to remove it

nova elm
#

No, only buying the DLC will get rid of the overlay.

distant ibex
#

stop trying to get me to purchase apex

#

😭

long dome
#

"hello devs, please stop trying to get me to buy your game"
???

golden nova
#

if you don't want to buy it then send me 20 usd and I'll gift the DLC to you (or wait for a every-month sale, it goes for ~6 bucks on it)

distant ibex
#

im using mods that dont require any dlcs

#

is there something automatically placing apex attachments onto weapons or something

#

maybe a character randomizer?

uncut trellis
#

could be

floral copper
#

Why is this coming up when I don’t have any mods?

IMG_3414.jpg
golden nova
#

thousand reasons possible, it's a generic error.

#

if you would try to describe what you did and when does it crash the reason might be more specific.

floral copper
#

I just started campaign first mission and I got up to the scene where we need to go on foot and then it just crashed

golden nova
#

no mods?

floral copper
#

No

golden nova
#

have you tried verifying files through Steam?

floral copper
#

How do I do that?

#

I’m very new to PC and arma

golden nova
#

open Steam -> Right click on Arma -> Properties -> Verify game files

#

something like this, should be there in Installed Files or other tab.

floral copper
#

The one on the bottom?

steady hawk
#

Yes

floral copper
#

Now it’s loading

#

25 percent

#

This don’t make any sense

umbral narwhal
#

Is this a repeatable crash?

#

Or are you saying that the game just crashed once and you haven't tried again?

floral copper
#

I’m able to play a little and eventually out of nowhere it crashes

#

With this

#

I’m confused

floral copper
quaint jewel
#

Is it a specific misison? Send that report and I can check tomorrow

floral copper
#

The first mission

floral copper
#

Oh wait

#

The troubleshooting report

#

I think I did

#

I added to my file?

quaint jewel
#

file?

#

Where can I get it

floral copper
#

Can I send it to dms?

golden nova
#

does it crash in the same place, everytime?

floral copper
#

Yes

#

Yesterday was different

#

Now it’s the same today

#

I tried it like 5 times

golden nova
#

you mean that it worked yesterday?

floral copper
#

No

#

It crashed quicker yesterday

quaint jewel
floral copper
#

But today I can play a little longer than it crashes

floral copper
#

Can someone go in a VC with me

#

And I can share my screen

#

Please

golden nova
#

I am unsure how this could help.

#

are you playing with USB headphones connected?

floral copper
#

Airpods

#

But I can show you whats happening

golden nova
#

so with a jack plug, not USB?

floral copper
#

No jus airpods

golden nova
#

so bluetooth.

floral copper
#

Yes

quaint jewel
#

The USB bug was "mono audio output" bug. Not actually related to USB

floral copper
#

Is this whats casuing me to crash?

#

I think this is the report log

quaint jewel
#

yep looks correct

floral copper
#

Why does it say potentially dangrous

quaint jewel
#

8:54:16 Selected Audio Output: Headset (AirPods #2 Hands-Free AG Audio) - Channels: 1, Freq: 8000

#

It is the audio bug.

floral copper
#

I can hear the game fine

quaint jewel
#

You are playing the game on mono sound with frequency of 8000. Your sound must be utter shit.

#

Normal is stereo with 48000

floral copper
#

How do I fix

golden nova
#

use different audio output

floral copper
#

Can I use my speakers?

golden nova
#

won't hurt if you try

floral copper
#

But at the end of the day I should probably be using a actual headset right?

golden nova
#

you can check your airpods in Sounds settings too to see if you can chhange any values for it and raise the frequency to 48kHz but I highly doubt it

floral copper
#

Here is what I dont get.

golden nova
#

or 5$ buds from a chinese second hand, whatever will play better than AirPods

#

airbuds

floral copper
#

Howcome I hear the game perfect but than I crash.

#

Is airpods just not good for this sort of game?

golden nova
#

looks like it. Or at least their default settings detected by Windows are not enough.

#

I'm not a sound engineer but I guess it sounds correct up until one sound appears that overloads the buffer or something. This was pretty notorious with USB headphones or those with USB dongle

#

if it runs with no crash while you're using speakers you'll know your heaphones are the issue.

patent kettle
#

Hands-Free AG Audio is usually enabled when windows tries to use both audio output and input of BT device

floral copper
#

I’m testing it out

#

Let me see

patent kettle
#

I guess it can't handle the bandwitdth for both at higher rate and enables this shit profile

#

Happens with any BT headset IIRC

floral copper
#

It’s a working good now

#

But shit I need to get a headset

ocean cosmos
#

it happens with my hearing aids too

patent kettle
#

could try disabling the BT microphone or smth in device manager

#

maybe could help

quaint jewel
ocean cosmos
#

i can finally walk away from my laptop while connected and not have arma crash because i disconnected

sudden kelp
#

i have some rendering problems oof

sudden kelp
#

i have a picture as well

ocean cosmos
#

using my psychic powers of deduction i can tell you that you should steamverify

rustic eagleBOT
#

Steam file verification process:
Right Click on game -> Properties -> Installed 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.

sudden kelp
#

and using my basic brain functions i can tell you that i already did that

#

i understand that perhaps, sometimes, theres people that really ask stupid questions, with obvious answers, but, at the same time, that does not apply to everyone

ocean cosmos
#

well thats the limit of my psychic powers of deduction

sudden kelp
#

:c

#

i would ignore this problem if it wasnt game-breaking

And we're short on magic orbs.

I’m having some trouble joining my friend, I can’t see his servers and he can’t see mine, we’re trying to host an Antistasi server. We’ve got cup units vehicles and weapons, 3AS and better inventory but other than that nothing. I’ve tried joining him off of steam and through direct connect, but nothing has worked so far, any suggestions?

umbral narwhal
#

Your friend has to set up UPNP or port forwarding (which may be impossible depending on your ISP), or you both need to use a private VPN like Hamachi or Zerotier.

#

!localhost

rustic eagleBOT
#

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”

livid nexus
umbral narwhal
#

Nope.

livid nexus
#

We have selected upnp but it doesn’t seem to do much

umbral narwhal
#

It's not easy. You cannot simply play Arma with a friend.

#

You have to learn network engineering first.

livid nexus
#

Sounds about right lol

#

I have managed to play before but for some reason it seems like it’s only with this one friend that it doesn’t work

umbral narwhal
#

It's down to the host not the client. Nothing you can do personally.

livid nexus
#

Dang

Thanks anyways

can anyone help with file ace_xm157.pbo is outdated

A friend doesn't have the arma 3 or arma 3 other profiles in her documents folder to check the arma3.cfg file

golden nova
#

and that's why they can't save.

#

!steamverify

rustic eagleBOT
#

Steam file verification process:
Right Click on game -> Properties -> Installed 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.

next sparrow
#

Well figured that part is causing it not to save. She has tried verifying integrity and nada. She is sharing her steam library with her husband... Would that cause an issue with anything possibly?

golden nova
#

Arma 3 does not support family sharing iirc.

next sparrow
#

Hmmm... I'm at a lost then cause this is the first i've seen of this type of issue. She doesn't have any profiles showing at all on her C: drive

lime sphinx
#

🧠 manually setting up a profile folder in launcher can sidestep a problem, probably?

next sparrow
#

I read that somewhere but she wanted to try a fresh install so she is trying that

#

But I just wanted some insight on this problem

quaint jewel
#

@next sparrow Using Microsoft OneDrive? that might mess with it

next sparrow

Possibly? I will ask her to look at that

how to fix

umbral narwhal
#

Let me guess, you have 100 mods loaded and you don't know what's in half of them

regal mason
#

bruh i have 30 mods and they are all so i can play ww2

#

no need for the attitude just trying to make it so i can play the game

bronze river
#

if you are using some kind of modpack, dont.
because it will be obsolete once the real mod is updated.

umbral narwhal
#

Yeah, common thing here is that people are loading a modpack that includes old versions of bits of ACE etc.

#

But we can't tell you what modpack that might be because anyone can make a modpack full of other people's mods.

#

The original mod here is called "ACE No Uniform Restrictions" and hasn't been updated since September 2022.

ocean cosmos
#

its an ace optional

regal mason
#

its all for my ww2 i have to have some of it

bronze river
#

modpack is a bunch of mods combined into 1 single mods

steady hawk
#

Basically a very good way to make your game crazy

bronze river
#

it's different from Mod preset

brave dome
#

Does anyone else have the issue with the Rhino MGS in that the engine is jarringly loud whether you have earplugs in or not? How do I fix it?

bronze river
#

do you have mods?

#

or playing vanilla

brave dome
bronze river
#

i dont think there is a fix on thix, i never had the issue when playing in Rhino

#

(vanilla only)

brave dome
#

Yeah, we play exile, I used to have this problem in which it sounded like a diesel engine grinding on metal in a non-sexy way, it's fine for me now, but for others it's not so good

regal mason
bronze river
#

unfortunately no, until the modpack uploader updated their modpack you can only wait.

umbral narwhal
#

If it's been broken for a year then it'll probably stay broken, and you'll need to fix the modset yourself.

steady hawk
#

And simply you SHOULD not to rely on “modpacks” which can open the gates of the hell very, very easily

#

Unless if you want to do it, nobody is going to stop

#

Just use actual and properly released Mods instead of “illegal” modpacks

regal mason
#

i still dont udnerstand the modpack thing

#

all the mods i got were on steam workshop

#

the only time it messes up is when ace is selected

#

when i take ace out it works fine

steady hawk
#

From Steam Workshop doesn't always mean it is from valid author/has valid package

regal mason
#

how do i figure out which mod is conflicting

steady hawk
#

Half by half, or one by one

#

Check the pinned

regal mason
#

alr

steady hawk
#

Also what exactly do you mean by you don't understand modpack?

#

It may has a lot of existed Mods, that are never updated on the modpack, which may cause a conflict with actual Mod, or version mismatch, or, whatever, I see zero benefit to use and full of risks

umbral narwhal
#

In this case you could also figure out which mod is including the old ACE uniform mod by reading the RPT.

#

It gives you the full path of each loaded addon, so just search for ace_nouniformrestrictions.pbo

regal mason
steady hawk
#

If you have no clue if the Mod does what, don't load and install the Mod

regal mason
#

bro if i want to play ww2 in arma im going to download the mdos for ww2

#

idk what to tell you idc if i know what the mod does

This is how to open the gates of errors

Does anyone know how to fix the controls? I had all my keybinds working just fine, changed nothing but suddenly I can't lean left or right and somehow, Zeus ping is now "H" instead of "Y". I've tried rebinding the keys but it doesn't work. And all the keybinds are set correctly but they seem broken in-game.

You can just re-apply the keybind presets, if they're broken for some reason for sure

#

Having this issue with a hosted arma server where after exactly 10 minutes the server closes down. would have some kind of idea what the issue may be?

umbral narwhal
#

Closes down as in shuts down the server process entirely?

supple narwhal
#

nothing that sticks out in the error logs, its' like after the 10 minutes is up someone just pushes the stop button

supple narwhal
umbral narwhal
#

Maybe your host has a feature

#

Admins start putting -limitFPS=500 on their servers. Hosts are like "wow, these idle Arma servers are really expensive. Let's shut them down after a timeout" :P

supple narwhal
#

I don't believe that's what's going on, we've hosted other missions this week with no problems. Currently testing the same mission file on a different server to see if we can narrow down if it's a server problem or a mission problem

umbral narwhal
#

Is it your mission?

supple narwhal
#

Yeah it's a custom mission file

#

not any closer to working out if it's a mission problem or a server problem but have some errors that I can maybe work with

#

19:34:00 Error: Object(10 : 89) not found

#

anyone know how to read this error? what object it's referring to?

Anyone know a fix for when a squad leader dies it dissloves the whole Squad? Like all the members from the Squad get attached to there own squad or the Squad Leader is removed. Anyone know how to fix this so when someone dies it doesnt remove everyone from the group or remove the squad leader. Im using GUI Compass mod and idk if that has an issue with it (Ping me when u get an answer as Im notified)

It's declaring a CfgPatches class called Empty that is in fact empty.

#

Probably written by someone very confused about how to make mods.

#

Or just a hanging config.cpp that they forgot about, which is also not good.

#

I dunno, I'd expect that one to be a non-fatal error.

#

The error you see is not necessarily the error that breaks stuff in Arma.

worthy vessel
umbral narwhal
#

That one's a normal error. Red herring.

#

All dedicated servers throw it.

worthy vessel
#

gotcha could i throw you a DM of our RPT and assist in what we got going on possibly?

umbral narwhal
#

You can paste it here if you like.

steady hawk
#

Is a3_character_f a normal error? I've no clue bout servers though

umbral narwhal
#

a3_characters_f, yes. It's one of the first lines you get after the mod table.

#

It fires before the server even selects a mission.

worthy vessel
umbral narwhal
#

All those conflicting addon cases at the start are pretty bad.

worthy vessel
umbral narwhal
#

No idea. One RPT doesn't tell you things like that.

#

Arma doesn't log why it kicked you out of the mission.

worthy vessel
#

I get to the point where i pick my spawn and then itll loop the entire time and cant fully load in

You should strip down your modset to something known-working anyway.

Guys. My server keeps crashing witth this RPT file
We would be playing and at a completely random point in time, doing absolutely nothing of note (Driving across a field, sitting next to our base, etc), it would crash
#

It's so inconsistent too. It didn't crash at all today until this evening it crashed out of absolutely nowhere

#

yesterday it crashed 3 times within 20 minutes of the server opening

Sorry if I've asked this before, but when I host a private server for my friend (we're both connected to a Zerotier VLAN network) I can see servers he hosts but he can never see mine. My antivirus definitely isn't blocking access, so I'm not sure what could be causing it.

#

Is there a possibility I missed a step?

Hope this is the right place for this. Something in this mod list hides the squad command menu in the top left. Just disabling it all and playing vanilla the command list shows up like normal but while using this mod list I can't see what I'm telling my guys.

Commands still work, I select all members of my squad and tell them to move, and they go there. I tell them to regroup, they do. But I can't see the menu. I hope this is something you all have seen before and I'm not asking for too much straight off the bat.

":0xC0000005" how to solve this error?

umbral narwhal
#

Generic crash. Could be a lot of things, depends on situation.

cobalt onyx
#

what do you want to hear from me?

umbral narwhal
#

When does it crash? How often?

cobalt onyx
#

i was playing with my friend on antistasi plus on chernarus 2020 and after some time my game just crash

#

and it does everytime we start playing

umbral narwhal
#

Does it only crash on cherno 2020?

cobalt onyx
#

and i im the one who host the server

cobalt onyx
#

so?

umbral narwhal
#

Meh, two common options and a lot of rarer ones.

#

USB headsets often crash because they go into mono mode for some reason. You can check if it's that by finding the most recent RPT at C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\Local\Arma 3

#

but also Cherno 2020 seems to trigger a crash on some setups.

#

But if you had an unrelated crash with SOG then maybe your hardware is just unreliable and it's corrupting data.

#

In that case, steam verify Arma.

cobalt onyx
#

like i dont understand anything

umbral narwhal
#

Find the RPT file I told you about and paste it here.

#

preferably one where it crashed.

cobalt onyx
umbral narwhal
#

uh, either that crashed before it even started the audio system or you have -noLogs enabled.

#

noLogs, I guess.

cobalt onyx
#

so next time before i start the game just turn on the logs AND when it crash again, send the rpt file to you?

umbral narwhal
#

You'll have to untick "No Logs" in the launcher parameters and then make it crash again.

cobalt onyx
#

okay

#

can i send it to you tommorow? in my country is late right now

#

on DM?

umbral narwhal
#

just paste it here. Anyone can tell you whether it's a mono audio crash.

cobalt onyx
#

Ohh okey

# rigid vector Everytime i get Teleported via Zeus my Game crashed, and get this Message, Serve...

If your client crashed like that error message indicates, then obviously the server notices it lost connection with the client. The error message shown is a very generic one though. I've teleported plenty of times with Zeus a few days ago without any crashes. But that was localhosted game though, not exactly the same.

You'll have to narrow it down some more. Remove mods and try if the teleporting still goes bad. But I suppose posting that to the feedback tracker in the hope the devs can make sense of the minidump files to get at a cause might be a thing to do.

Well, then something changed in the mean time. Only you are able to find out what that could be.

Is there any way to get rid of the weird outline seen on the tree leaves (first picture)? Disabling FSAA gets rid of it, but also makes the close up leaves look pixilated (second picture).

Hello folks. I have a very specific question regarding AI, and I am wondering if anyone here in the official discord may have an answer.

I'm looking for a way to solve the issue of AI clipping through walls. Clearly something about the pathfinding makes a decision to ignore object collision, and I am very tired of it resulting in my enemy units phasing through walls meant to imped both them and my players in my zeus scenarios.

Is there any way to have unit AI "give up" or abandon pathing when their is an obstruction? Its clear their programming will get them their by any means necessary, even jumping off ledges should it be an option.

I ran an experiment by putting some vanilla units and more well behaved modded units in boxes at 3m up, with and without walls. In all cases the will both phase AND jump down, always killing them.

image.png
#

I solved a similar issue of unwanted behaivor with player units, it being the sky diving animations triggering as a function of altitude.

A simple init script makes it a function of downward velocity (as it should be IMO). I'm hoping there is a way to initialize non-player units to change pathing behavior.

image.png
umbral narwhal
#

Is it not acceptable to just turn off the pathing of these units when you spawn them?

shy minnow
#

Is that possible?

umbral narwhal
#

_unit disableAI "PATH"

shy minnow
#

Absolutely incredible. Can they still take direct movement orders?

umbral narwhal
#

Nope.

#

What would they do with them? :P

shy minnow
#

Interesting. This could solve some of my issues. Big thank you

#

Looks like phasing may not be a surface level decision. The available objects for disableAI only go so far as toggling major functionality (and weirdly enough NVG usage).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ziN7nMDUsk This video makes me think there is something creating a decision that the AI has to make when encountering an obstacle, even ones that can be walked around. The barbwire prone thing probably means its hardcoded for vanilla barriers and walls.

Arma 3 Why do AI walk through walls? Possible Answers Tested.

Many people report AI passing through walls, they devs stated that they have patched this some time ago, but myself and others still occasionally spot some cheeky AI's phasing through existence when they think no one is looking.
But I'm here bat in hand to bring order back to the Shire.

Different thought. Perhaps there is a way to "leash" a unit? Looks like some people have already scripted something akin to checking distance moved vs starting position. Doesnt seem efficient or optimal but ill test it an report back

umbral narwhal
#

Nothing built-in, no.

#

Is this still related to pathfinding or not?

shy minnow
#

More just about keeping them in a room or from throwing themselves off ledges lol

#

I have it bad for complicated and vertical fortifications

umbral narwhal
#

This is kinda fun to play around with:

dude addEventHandler ["PathCalculated", {
    {
        createVehicle ["Sign_Sphere100cm_F", ASLtoATL _x, [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
    } forEach (_this select 1);
}];
shy minnow
#

ooooooooooo wtf is thaaaaaat

#

alright i see coordinate conversions

#

did you write this?

#

its is making spheres for sure

restive sequoia
#

In my experience AI ignores certain objects completely when they are spawned and not part of the terrain (Even if both are local to the server (objects & AI)).

shy minnow
#

oh i see its showing the decision making

umbral narwhal
#

However it doesn't necessarily follow the decision making :P

shy minnow
#

Good tool for visualization either way. The leashing thing doesn't work too well, but I might be able to manage by toggling PATHing via way point triggers.
