Anyone lose connection to servers after like, 10 minutes of playing on them and have to rejoin?
This is the only game where I face an issue like this
I get red-chained out, and it's not like I'm actually losing connection that long, because I can instantly reload the server browser and rejoin

context since i realised how horribly vague that was
ive been playing a spearhead antistasi campaign with some mates of mine, local hosting from my pc. and randomly my game would crash with this error popping up. there doesnt seem to be any kind of potential trigger when i kept on testing ingame for a cause, and i only have 4 other mods aside from antistasi like blastcore and vilehud.

Maybe the RPT log file of client can explain a bit about what is happening. At least what exact mods you are playing and what happens to them.

You were kicked off the game due to how the server is setup you are not allowed to connect until mission restart

I guess OneDrive is the issue
pine kite
While that is often a problem with keeping your profile intact. I don't think this is the issue until the scenario is saved in the editor. He gets the error when placing the object.
Also, "trying to create an invalid center" doesn't match in context with cloud saving terminology. I mean, it might, but makes no sense in wording.

Yeah.
It was because the scenario was not saved.

We do not really know what is the “Mod” you talk about though

I did read some comments made by Jox about the mod not having scenarios.
- it's made to not have scenarios only the mod in general.
which is uh
fading pulsar
Open editor, put down units and perhaps a full arsenal, and have a go at it.
Its not really uh. Mod brings new units and gear, not missions.
You can also find scenarios on workshop that use said mod.
steady hawk
It is recommended not to mess around with Mods in your first gameplay
azure anvil
Open editor, put down units and perhaps a full arsenal, and have a go at it.
how can I see the creations of the certain creator of said mod?

done.
fading pulsar
You can visit their steam profile page, and see rest of the stuff under workshop.
Or see if mod is part of any collections

also, is that perhaps the only bosnian/balkan war mod out in the Arma 3 community :Skull:
fading pulsar

And yes they are rare. Difficult to find any HOS/Croatian stuff too

But you can change unit loadouts in editor to apply correct gear.
No im not.

@steady hawk so, my friend that plays ARMA 3 says that acsess to multiplayer in a modded server needs to be paid.
is that true?

Not even sure why you pinged me but false
If you mean you need to pay for Arma 3, true, though
azure anvil
If you mean you need to pay for Arma 3, true, though
well yeah, pretty much.
steady hawk
To be precise: a server can have a “paid” slot like “reserved slot”
But if the server needs everyone to pay, I don't know, it may violate the EULA and monetization rule
pine kite
Yeah, you got to buy the base game at least. No free-to-play. (for minimal investment: wait for a sale period, next expected around Haloween's)

Arma 3 | Steam Deck | Tech Support
256GB NVMe Edition - Running off of 1TB Extreme PRO SD Card
Hi All,
I'm having an issue that seems to be steam deck related to the mulitplayer portion of the game and concerned this could be affecting others.
Currently, the game runs very well, at a standard 40fps, and the single player and server hosting seems to work completely fine [bury in mind this just vanilla Arma 3]
The issue is when we start delving into the mulitplayer servers, and this accounts for every single one. When joining, the game seems to run and loads in, except it appears to freeze on a loading screen and with no role selection available. Sometimes there is audio, others not, and there is sometimes the side channel text bar which appears and fades like normal, so the game hasnt froze per se, but the actual UI has conked out, and nothing works besides the menu key which kicks you back out to server selection.
This has persisted for hours, and its safe to assume ive tried all the normal fixes and verified files and so on, the issue appears to lie with the game not wanting to display role selection, and there is no mission download bar/pop up either which I remember being the case on PC. Below ive attatched some images to show what this is like on the steam deck, and hopefully see if this can be resolved.
Thank you in advance!!

there isnt really much experience around here about Steam Deck so there isnt much advice to pass on
generally to join MP server your game needs to be running same version as the server
and have same mods/dlcs loaded if any are used
Im not even sure if steam deck is officially supported platform so dont know if you could get any help from BI tech support email
you could try that though
golden nova
well Steam is pretty straightforward about that, it's up to Valve to check the compatibility and if it's said there is none, I highly doubt your issues will be fixed by either of the teams.
polar wolf
Thanks for your reply @uncut trellis, I was pointed in this direction from Reddit and agree its likely to be a difficult one to get any info on, but a hail mary nonetheless. To clarify, the servers im typically trying to join are the non-modded Invade and Annex servers, so mods can be rules out. Secondly, I agree that I dont think its officially supported, but im yet to see other Steam Deck users have fault with the hardware since its clear from online sources that the game runs and works, even on multiplayer and using steams Battleye download, so whatever is the issue seems niche.

Thanks @golden nova , yeah strictly speaking its unsupported, but through the proton add ons [A linux based compatibility tool], it appears the game is rated Gold, which is second to the highest tier of playability rating [Platinum being flatout it works], and using community control presets, the device works like a normal keyboard and mouse very well, so this is why im suprised multiplayer is an issue as the game is great in every other aspect.
Interestingly, I've left it to hang and this pop up has appeared, which is odd and implies it has been connected, but no role selection has been given.

How do I view logs when loading a mission in eden editor?

What logs?
safe basin
I figured it out. you can go to Scenario "Open Log Folder"
I gots a new problem now
I am getting this message when I load a mission in edon editor: "Error when loading the scenario!"
now that I found the logs I am seeing this:
but I have that mod loaded, and its in the file dir that it says it should be in 
umbral narwhal
There's probably no data in there.
safe basin
There's probably no data in there.
But i checked it and the files are imdeed there with the pbos etc. Would that cause the error message i am seeing? Or doesnt it ussually say this map relies on content not currently installed?
umbral narwhal
"Error when loading the scenario" sounds more like a corrupted scenario to me but I wouldn't know.
safe basin
What does corrupted scenario mean?
safe basin
Whats also wierd is I can load into the mission just fine if I play it on either a server or locally. I just can't open it in the editor
I was reading online that a work around for this is to open the mission in 2D editor and to place or select a unit in the mission. but when I try to open the 2D editor I don't see an option to load my mission even though its in the correct file.

Anyone been having really terrible LOD popping lately?
On maps in the distance I see objects disapppearing then reappearing. This also happens when I'm up close to objects too. Just today I was trying to play a game and my frame rate has disintegrated to the point I'm getting less than one frame a second.
Shadows disappear and objects revert to their lowest LOD mesh. Its really weird. Keybinds stop working. I've tried with addons and without.

Quick question, did anyone else lose all their custom loadouts and some of their custom settings in-game today? Or was it just me?
Logged in and I had no loadouts, my ACE settings were reset(luckily I had those backed up), but nothing updated that I could think of, except for the ArmA update yesterday?
umbral narwhal
A few people probably lose their profile every day :P
real tree
lol, that's probably very true
i didn't lose my profile though, that was all still there
it was just my loadouts were gone and my server settings were gone
umbral narwhal
That's what holds the custom loadouts and the ACE settings.
The username.vars.arma3profile file specifically.
real tree
Hmm, but my profile was still technically there there, at least I didn't have to create a new one with any new custom binds or anything else, it was just loadouts and server settings that I believe I lost so far
Is that normal?
umbral narwhal
Yeah, it just silently resets the file if it's corrupted, I think.
real tree
Aaaaah, okay, good to know, thanks again
umbral narwhal
I would strongly recommend backing the profile(s) up if you have anything important in there, as they are flaky.

Yeah I'm definitely going to do that now, lol, I generally do, don't know why I didn't think to do it for Arma, guess because I've only really been playing for about a month now

No. Ai pilots dont fly helicopters into space, with ace or without.

raising up to 4gb makes my game freeze if i alt tab back in because of the graphics cache shit 😅

If they do, fly into space, id look at other mods.

I'll give it a try without those parameters see what it does

Most of those problems I've seen are vanilla AI behaviour.
Vanilla AI is bugs all the way down.

BUT it does that bug when it extracts
fading pulsar
I never saw ai fly up up and away. With or without mods
solar flame
Vanilla AI is bugs all the way down.
I found a relatively unknown mod a while ago called Tactical Combat Link.
I don't think its updated anymore but the behaviour of AI in it left me in awe.
umbral narwhal
doubts
The way Arma AI works, modding it is just adding bugs on top of the bugs that are already there :P
solar flame
I was just thrilled to see the AI use cover instead of zerg-rushing your position.
worldly oak
sadly AI mods also come with some hits to performance
solar flame
I've had great fun with TCL
What I'm most impressed with is that the AI seems, seems to recognise the terrain and take advantage of it.
umbral narwhal
Zerg rushing is not vanilla behaviour. Normally AIs need a lot of... encouragement to do that.
solar flame
I had a position in a treeline with two shallow drains either side of it. The attacking AI used the depression in the terrain to flank me
umbral narwhal
Their main issue with cover is that the search radius for it isn't large, so often they'll just prone in the open rather than sprinting somewhere more sensible.
solar flame
Their main issue with cover is that the search radius for it isn't large, so oft...
That's what I like about TCL.
umbral narwhal
That sort of 2d search is too expensive for mods so if they got it right it's probably luck.
solar flame
They don't just lie down in the open.
They seek out the best path with the most cover to attack you.
fading pulsar
In my 9k hours in arma3 modded or not, i have only once whitnessed ai do a small unit tactic that made me say whoah... textbook assault on entrenched position
umbral narwhal

solar flame
Yeah sometimes you have those brilliant little moments lol
fading pulsar
When i tried same scenario again, they never did it
solar flame
I will never forget the textbook AI mechanised assault that wiped me and my mates out in multiplayer
God it was so good.
We were too cocky lmao
The AI dismounted and used their IFVs as cover whilst the vehicle raked our position.
I wasn't even mad
umbral narwhal
It's funny in Antistasi when enemies accidentally do the right thing with every asset in a major attack and players are like "how are we supposed to stop that?"
fading pulsar
In my example they established base of fire, then deploy smoke and half of squad destroyed us from flank with grenades.
solar flame
In terms of AI, Arma AI is incredibly smart
umbral narwhal
while usually there's some potato trickle because a vehicle got stuck on a tree 2km away.
solar flame
In terms of AI overall though, they're kinda dumb

while usually there's some potato trickle because a vehicle got stuck on a tree ...

Idk they have their bright momements, but this code seems so old that nobody in bi even knows how its supposed to work, they only tweak and add on to it
Noted mainly by lack of documentation on fsms etc

fading pulsar
Ai caramba

And trenchpods
solar flame
I think AI would benefit from a high command structure
So the units on the ground report back to command and then they can adjust their tactics
fading pulsar
Depends on use. Eg, when you use Zeus you want ai to do your bidding. Not to think
solar flame
That’s something thats always bugged me. You can’t structure your units
They’ll just follow the leader
So you can’t go PTE > CPL > SGT > LT etc
If that makes sense.
So instead of every single man falling in behind the LT
They'll stay in their respective squads under the Sgt, but they'll follow the orders of the Lieutenant

So just a quick question. I know the response to the issue of people not hearing gun shots is 'a mod conflicts or the way the mods are loaded are causing an issue with the sounds' but if two people have identical mod packs and load their mods in an identical order and one still can't hear gunfire or have his gunfire heard then what would the issue be?
chrome current
identically broken mods xD
crimson glacier
but how could it be broken for both people if the one person is the only one who's weapons cant be heard or hear everyone else's weapons
uncut trellis
So just a quick question. I know the response to the issue of people not hearing...
all weapon sounds broken or just specific ones?
remove mods from the set until it works again to find the culprit is the usual debug method
beyond that its very hard to say what mod or mod combination might be the issue
and test the server setup and their setup without mods too
crimson glacier
So its actually a really weird set of parameters. he hasnt heard weapon sounds in three campaigns spanning from vietnam > halo to now ww2. He can rarely hear other weapons and no one can ever hear his weapon and the incident is isolated to just him
the one time it work is in the last two halo missions he HAD to use the weapon he spawned in with and then everything worked, but the second he swapped his gun he lost sound
its really weird
uncut trellis
does your server force mods with keys or is it open?
crimson glacier
Open as far as I am aware
uncut trellis
then he might be having some local stuff running in addition
even "whithout" knowing by having installed stuff right into the game files
crimson glacier
but its weird because he doesnt have any extra mods. we hand organized his mods to match mine identical
would deleting his cache work you think?
like all his caches
uncut trellis
cache, no
but arma 3\addons maybe and verifying game through steam after so its redownloaded
also trying a new profile might be worth a shot
umbral narwhal
You could check his RPT to see what's actually loading.
uncut trellis
in case some weird settings have been saved
crimson glacier
We will try the new profile I suppose, we havent done that yet but we have reinstalled twice and verified files a bunch.
I admit I do not know what RPT or how to check it is
crimson glacier
Interesting we will check that out
umbral narwhal
You can paste them here too but in this case we'd need RPTs from both the problem client and the host.
Also if you have more than ~30 mods then that's just painful.
crimson glacier
I think we do have more than 30 I think we are up to 46?
its just so wonky it happens across like 3-4 campaigns
and we cant pinpoint it

So I have this stange issue. when I load my mission eden editor it works fine no problem. When its loaded onto the server though, all of the Opfor are floating in the error. they will sometimes also fall to the ground and then reset in the air again. This only happens when the mission is loaded onto the remote server though
Example:
In eden eidtor those guys are place inside those buildings
steady hawk
How they are placed in Eden? Do you have any scripts that could affect them?
safe basin
How they are placed in Eden? Do you have any scripts that could affect them?
They are placed normally in eden editor let me load it up and show
safe basin
How they are placed in Eden? Do you have any scripts that could affect them?
There are no scripts that I am aware of that would effect this. and zues placed units are fine.
safe basin
How they are placed in Eden? Do you have any scripts that could affect them?
its also 100% of the opfor and vehicles on the map that are like this. and only happens when the mission is loaded onto the server. here is what these guys look like in eden editor. I can also play the mission in edon editor just fine as well.
steady hawk
Okay, let's try one thing to make sure if is a mission's fault
- Create a new scenario on the same terrain
- Ctrl+M to merge the objects into the new mission
- Save
- Check if it still does

Yes it still does it. this is acctually the second mission we tried that had this issue.
I am thinking it might be the map but we are using a pretty well know map which is this one: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2781043850&searchtext=
steady hawk
This means whichever your Mod does the issue
safe basin
This means whichever your Mod does the issue
Well I have the same mod pack as the server is running
steady hawk
And no, most unlikely a terrain is a concern
“I have same Mods” is not a concern also. A Mod can actually do whatever it wants
safe basin
Yeah but these are mods we have worked with before and haven't had this issue...
steady hawk
That is not a concern too - A Mod can update whenever the author wants to
safe basin
In theory when I run the same scenario locally its as if I am the server
steady hawk
Which means, you need to figure out which is the faulty Mod
safe basin
let me just make sure on that claim 1 sec
safe basin
Which means, you need to figure out which is the faulty Mod
but then why when I self host does it work fine?
Like if I load up the mission hosted on my local machine rather than the remote server all the dudes are in the right place, and I have the same mods as the server
ergo if it was a mod, I would be seeing the same result
safe basin
Which means, you need to figure out which is the faulty Mod
I found the issue hopefully it helps some one else.
So for the map, we had the map installed on the server, and were able to play on it etc. BUT we did not have the map listed in the mod load config
steady hawk
Do you mean uh... the server did not have the map?
safe basin
Like in host havoc you have to edit the "command line configuration" and list out all the mods in their proper load order. the map we have been playing on was not listed there
It has the map installed
just not in the start up config, and as mentioned we can all play on the map on the server.
steady hawk
Well, if the commandline have no map that is used in client, which means “the server does not have that”
Anyways, I'm very surprised that this could be an issue
safe basin
Anyways, I'm very surprised that this could be an issue
how so?
steady hawk
Because I always thought in order to have a mission in a terrain X, both server and client should have it
safe basin
well the server does have it its just not loaded I guess
like its installed on the server
steady hawk
Installed does not mean loaded, not loaded means there's nothing in game
So yeah... anyways, good to know that it's solved

bronze river
i wonder if Nvidia or intel has the same setting
slender owl
1. From RX560 4gb to RX5600 6gb
2.
also you shouldnt run shadows on low
you get more fps on standard
I think arma renders on standard then compresses shadows to the low pixelized ones
umbral narwhal
So what was it set to when it was slow?
final rose
you get more fps on standard
umbral narwhal
Ok, that's very weird. Disabling ASPM should just be turning off the PCI-E power management, which means it should have more reliable performance if anything.
Maybe the BIOS options are backwards :P
Normally ASPM is just to save a few watts on laptops.

Each router brand and model can have a different user interface to set it up. There is no one way to show it. But it all uses the same terminology for the important numbers.

I'd recommend temporarily turning it off while testing
delicate willow
What exactly needs to be done
sullen bolt
What exactly needs to be done
You'll need your external IP address (public IP address) and start a server. Then get your friend to attempt to connect. If you run into issues turn off both your windows firewall and Kaspersky temporally while you test
Your friend should connect using your public IP address and the port
delicate willow
So technically it could work already now and I could try and host
sullen bolt
Leave port as default when hosting (2302) yep
delicate willow
default arma port?
sullen bolt
Don't worry about it
pine kite
try to have your friend find your server in the launcher server browser. Steam should see your server if it works.
sullen bolt
Is it a dedicated server? Or hosted through the game?
delicate willow
Wait so try and start an arma server?
delicate willow
Small private one for my friend and me

How can I check my server is online?
pine kite
It should show up in the server browsers
sullen bolt
It can take a little for the list to populate

But since you can't open one on your own hosting computer, you will have to rely on someone else to check
sullen bolt
Easier to just try get your friend to join

delicate willow
And could all of this have any negative effect on my internet connetion or ping?
sullen bolt
Highly unlikely/no
delicate willow
And can I at all points delete this port forwarding profile I just created?
pine kite
Arma traffic will use your bandwidth obviously. But the port forwarding itself no. It is just a specific set of ports that is allowed through. If you have no arma 3 server running then the firewall should block it anyway.
You can, or just disable it in the fritzbox menu
delicate willow
WIll try

Server is no longer online?
delicate willow
First I have to see if my friend can join

You could allow me to join. I have no intention to actually play

because technically my friend has a different connection to me than you right

Be aware your local IPv4 address may change over the next few days. But Fritzbox should recognise your PC.
delicate willow
Be aware your local IPv4 address may change over the next few days. But Fritzbox...
That means?
pine kite
Reserving that IPv4 addres to your computer could be usefull.
IPaddresses are 99% times issued dynamically. Meaning they are temporary. If your PC (arma server computer) is off for extended time, your smartphone, or other laptop, might get the address instead when it connects and the portforwarding goes to that instead. So keep in mind to check if the port forward rule points to the right device.
pine kite
Address reservations make that a static thing.
delicate willow
So just check a few times if its still on my desktop and not my ipad for example?
pine kite
Yes
pine kite
Yes
delicate willow
Because for now the reserving sounds just like another extrtemely stressful process
pine kite
Don't remove the rule as you intended. Just edit it if it stops working because of a different address got assigned.
delicate willow
Don't remove the rule as you intended. Just edit it if it stops working because ...
So you mean just change the device back to my PC?
pine kite
I'm pretty sure it doesn't change in a Fritzbox
And looking on my menus I can't seem to change the device anymore of the portforwarding settings.
pine kite
I think that means it allows devices to use UPNP to set up port forwarding by itself. (and 0 means none are doing it/requested it)
delicate willow
Well if I dont need it I will leave it untouched
delicate willow
I think that means it allows devices to use UPNP to set up port forwarding by it...

you can make changes and copy them from one mission to another

you cant edit same things
delicate willow
can him and me both make different scenarios on a certain map in different editors and then merge?
uncut trellis
yes
delicate willow
So he can start a project on stratis and I can start one on stratis and then we can both merge when done?
wait
uncut trellis
there is merge tool in the file menu
delicate willow
I see the merge option
uncut trellis
so maybe
golden vale
What is a zeus scenario?
Basically you can make a mission where x amount of players have access to the Zeus or Gamemaster role the people with access to gamemaster have the option to spawn in assets on the map so technically speaking only you have to make a zeus mission and then both of you can build stuff on Stratis at the same time and view it or build it together
uncut trellis
also copy paste (also paste in place option) can work

Wdym? Like ace mods or?
Should I reinstall them?
uncut trellis
Wdym? Like ace mods or?
something called vmnd_x becuase you are running acex compat for it
alpine holly
Nothing in our modpack that even remotely resembles that, you have any idea what if could be?
uncut trellis
thats just what it says
oak plaza
any idea what vmnd_x
uncut trellis
the one it mentions in the beginning of the message
oak plaza
Yes but what is that mod? I am not to into the tech speak the console uses
pine kite
Check your mods for ACEX or BettrIR in the name. It's also a compatiblility mod to fix them to work together. Then ask the creator of it which dependancies it has. What other mods you need for it.
uncut trellis
or do you need it at all if you dont already run its dependencies

Google doesn't know what "aceax_bettir_compat_vmnd" is. But if you cut that up at the underscores then Google has a lightbulb popping on.

what did you find? im at a brick wall right now
pine kite
Ok, you asked for it: https://googlethatforyou.com?q=ace bettir compat vmnd
Still no garuantee that it is it. But at least you can check if it is the mod that you have in the mod collection.

hello
i cannot open my simple single player cheat menu in eden editor
can someone help?
golden nova
SSPCM is for use during a mission, not in eden editor.

SSPCM is for use during a mission, not in eden editor.
it worked before
what can i use in eden editor?
golden nova
uhh, mods that are designed to be used in eden editor?
why would you need SSPCM there anyway? You have to preview the scenario to actually use its stuff, editor is for editing, no reason to have godmode or anything if you can't even be killed in editor.
pine kite
He probably means in the preview mode. but yeah, that question should be asked in the workshop comments section of SSPCM.

Can someone help me with a issue when joining an ARMA game?

Steam verify/repair Arma.

My Spider-sense is saying that is a dedicated server install mixed with a Arma 3 client install.

I did that and it didn't work.
Then I thought it had to be Something in files.
umbral narwhal
Problem's at the server end then.
sacred dragon
But IDK what,
pine kite
Whatever you are trying to log into (a server) says you have corrupt files. The one mentioned is a regular file of an Arma 3 install. Somehow the file contents doesn't match with what the file verification says it should be. So either it is a failed download, or as I suspect you tried to install the dedicated server over your Arma 3 install.

How can I fix that?
I tried looking through my Arma folder but I couldn't find anything.
pine kite
Remove all those files in the Arma3/Addons folder while Steam, the Arma 3 launcher and the game are shut down. Then start Steam again and repair the game install as John explained before.
golden nova
shit didn't scroll down enough.
pine kite
Well, it should be in Arma 3/Addons folder.
golden nova
How can I fix that?
what is your game version?
sacred dragon
what is your game version?
How can I check?
golden nova
start your game and check lower right corner in main menu.
pine kite
Arma 3 launcher has a gear icon at the top right
sacred dragon
I am quite new to all the settings etc of Arma'
golden nova
or what Valen said.
sacred dragon

pine kite
The entire version numbers for both launcher and game
umbral narwhal
Is the server known-good or not?
sacred dragon
Is the server known-good or not?
Well the server is call 77TH JSOC and has active members all the time
I also tried it on Original Servers by Arma
umbral narwhal
ok, do what they said then. Delete the addons/missions_f_beta.pbo and the matching .bisign file and then run the verify again.
Verify fails occasionally, I guess because the checksum matches although it seems more common than that.

Delete from where?
golden nova
..\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Addons\

Wherever you have Steam installed into

Yeah I tried that but for some reason Arma 3 doesn't show up there
Steam is
And Steammappes
Common
But not Arma

That installed files UI in steam has a "browse" button that will take you straight to the Arma 3 folder, wherever it is.
You might have multiple steam libraries. It'll be in one of them :P

It's probably somewhere in C:\Program Files\Steam\ and so on
