Check if it put back that missions file you removed.
It would have needed to download that file from the internet. It's rather small so maybe it was done in a split seconds. but on my end it usually takes ages to check the files.
hmm, confirmed, steam verify doesn't replace that file.
Not sure whether that's Arma or Steam's fault.
Yes.
How do I fix it
If you have an Arma install on another PC then you could copy the file from there.
Otherwise uninstall & reinstall seems to be your only option.
You could get someone to send you the PBO I guess. It's probably not allowed here though.
If one of those files is corrupt, then perhaps others are too. After this message disappears when you have the correct file, you may encounter the next error message. So better be thurough and reinstall entirely. Remove the leftover install folder before you re-install. (but if downloading is an issue, continue with the files individually as you get the next error message)
So I delete the whole Arma completely?
And re download
Uninstall through steam. Then remove what is left over in that local files folder.
In browse files?
Yes, the entire Arma 3 install folder.
that's the most entertaining part - it may work, it may not. The steps they suggested before should already do the job, if they don't it means something is very no bueno
I deleted every trace of the old Arma.
And re-downloading.
Urgent Help Needed - I have an Op to run in 2hrs
My issue is currently all the Eden Settings & Modules I have put in hasnt transferred to my Dedicated server like:
- Names of Characters
- Modules Settings (like in a 5Meter Radius for Animals - It has took out the Radius all together)
- Some AI are Stagnant - meaning they cant move when way points are placed
If you have no scenario file on the dedicated server, there won't be an op. Call it off, or do something else that works instead. Meanwhile, investigate what went wrong and fix the scenario. No point in rushing this, as you will make another error likely.
If you have a corrupt file on the first install then it's much more likely that you have a corrupt file on the second install, because that usually means there's some hardware unreliability.
And apparently steam verify doesn't fix that much atm.
So there is nothing I can do about it?
Reinstall and hope.
It'll probably be a different corrupt file the second time around at least :P
I have had Arma long before the Issue maybe around 6 months +
Have you played since the 2.14 update?
I have 300 hours+
Not really.
Probably got corrupted there then.
I have been on the launcher but not in the game
I mean everything working just some things aren't
Its mainly training but the things I put are QoL improvements
Just not understanding why it overwrote the Names of AI and some of the Module Settings
Can anyone tell me why my realistic recoil mod isnt working
Not really. Mods can break up for number of reasons.
Hey, idk if anybody will be able to help me but I have this problem with the the weapons of any vehicle I am in. Lets take for example, a turret. If I take control of the turret, it will immediately look up, to the right, and lock. I won't be able to move the turrent no matter what I do. This applies to turrents of weapon systems on vehicles
Tried seraching it up, to no avail
why does my heli crash when i turn on autopistol and that rpm sign turn oragane and then red. its like the motor turns off when that rpm sign turns red/orange.
Check if Arma shows any joysticks or controllers, and disable them.
Is it a modded helicopter in afm? That can be iffy.
Could it be the vr headset I have plugged in?
Yeah likely. You can disable it in Arma.
What heli is it?
Just found out that when installing Arma again there is some update I probably missed.
As it is doing it during the installation.
Is there any way to mitigate server tps loss? We're only running like 8 mods (CBA_A3 and CUP notably) but it's averaging like 4-5 server fps on dynamic recon ops or even on zeus
__Thanks to everyone that helped me fix my glitch now my Arma works 🙏 __
Having the same issue
Im running no mods normal scenarios and I get 30 fps as soon as Im near enemys
Ive done everything and asked 4 times now. Nobody can sadly help me.
This must be a rare thing
Mine isnt necessarily game performance its more of server performance dipping and ai starts rubber banding
I was able to remedy it for now and the tps is healthy now
Server performance issues are better helped by other server admins in #server_admins or the server channels for the particular operating system.
for not servers theres a optimisation guide on the wiki
In general, don't lower the settings, keep them up to avoid shifting the load to the CPU instead of keeping it on the GPU.
Has anyone found a solution to my problem yet?
About arma not starting
Arma support hasn’t replied for a while so idk
I can’t refund it
You can write down the details again in case someone has ideas.
Whenever I start Arma on mac, it says running and the app opens but nothing appears on screen (not even black, it’s just invisible). I’ve tried just about everything (uninstalling, removing mods, deleting steam, etc.) but it doesn’t work. It’s not a requirements issue because it worked before with multiple mods.
it keeps doing it the initializing mods management, but when i press the lanch button play with mods, the mods are not loaded.
i will try to verify game files to check if the issue remains.
nothing changed after verifying, still loops around
oh well looks like im waiting
keep getting this error
but the mod is allowed on the server
and others with the same mod have been getting in fine
Everytime i try to start Arma up
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Translatet:
The cloud file provider is not running
Disable or uninstall onedrive
Still doesnt work
So my server keeps spamming "default" in the chat. Anyone got any ideas why? Not having any performance hit and nothing has changed with mods. Just started randomly
Mods
Are you saying it's a mod issue or are you asking for the mods?
Funky
Reinstalling arma seems to fixed the issue
My friend got his Memory in his launcher wrong and now his launcher crashes whenever he tries to boot Arma, he put too much RAM and it won't let him edit it. does anyone know how he can get around this without unistalling the game?
think you will have to reinstall
unless theres a launcher safe mode
which i vaguely recall but i couldve just made that up
-safemode i found this, we are gonna try it
think that may be for arma itself rather than launcher but go for it
also its probably better to ask in #arma3_launcher
no one like, ever goes in there lmao
i feel like it'll take longer to fix the issue
anyways this is the problem
his settings are completely gone
Does having no audio output device cause problems because the cutscene and squad dialogue takes a unhumanly long time to actually appear
I have to wait for the subtitles to appear for a cutscene to end so I end up waiting for 15 minutes during a cutscene while each subtitle appears very slowly
his SSD is having a "Disk Write Error" so we think its that, he's restarting his PC
Might need to do a bit more than that.
We don't know. If your question is the same you posted to #arma3_scenario , you need to remove this question because is a crosspost
That is not true. Ok, it's not on a daily basis. But you didn't even try. Doesn't hurt to write there. You'll see green people post in there. The people that should be in the know about it.
But yeah, you would expect the settings in the launcher parameters tab to be stored in one of the .json files in C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Arma 3 Launcher
But none that I could find.
#arma3_scenario is not really the most active
there is no error when reapeating 1 to 1 what youve just done and it worked but it now doesnt
i have no clue on how to fix this, but whenever i join my friends dedicated server it pops up with this
this pops up for the server owner
You are trying to join with those mods on the dedicated server of your friend. But the server doesn't want that (then you need to unload those mods), or your friend forgot to put the bikey files in each mod into the keys folder of the server (hence the install additional accepted keys). The error messages explain it literally. Some serverhosters automate this, but not all.
The photo shot of the server owner monitor is too blurry to make much out of that.
Deleting Arma
Arma won the fight against the FPS drops and it just sadly isnt fun playing with constant 30 FPS.
that is why installing it on SSD is the best way
there are people here playing in 15 FPS and enjoying it so it looks like it can be fun 
It is on my SSD
lowering view range to just 1500 can also improve performance
I have a good PC with good specs, running no mods and light scenarios
28 FPS
Nobody could help me despite all the work. This Could never be fixed till now.
Even running low settings
Thats the point.
that seems decent if you play on multiplayer server with bunch of other people, but if you get 28fps on singleplayer then there is an issue.
I have everything on low and range on 800 and yet 28 fps as soon as I get close to enemys
running low setting is bad cuz it uses more cpu, setting it to high is better
editor solo testing*
wait boys
dont have the photo anymore sadly
My game looks like gta sasnandreas on nentendo 64
and I still run 28 FPS
Something is mega wrong but nobody sadly knows a fix for this
like i said low graphic setting is bad for performance as it uses CPU more than GPU
do autodetect and just set the graphic to High or standard

It is so very annoying and yet I played till now but its at a point where it caused me so much stress that I would rather dump the game then keep annoying myself with it
Also done
I tried it all man believe me
in case you have not done it before, you could post your rpt log here. it might show some sort of issue.
!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.
which folder exactly is it?
the guide above should explain it
yo for some reason whenever i get into a fight my game will become like 2x speed anyway to fix this ?
still missing the details oh what you play
editor
do you use mods?
first make sure you have not pressed the time multiplier keys
and if you use mods then try without them
youll have to describe what that means in more detail
you have to complete the verification at #✔role-selection for image post rights
could be you have some other mods that break it
the URC10 is from task force radio you should not need with SOGAI
make sure you use latest version of it
by verifying steam install files
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.
👆
dont know what the script error is
and cant translate what it says
the no entry errors comes from tfar radio being saved in your arsenal loadout
@topaz bone might you have insight on the script error
Hey, I'm having issues with helicopters
For some reason getting into any helicopter makes any non terrain object including the helicopter itself become invisible. It was working fine a while ago but now it does that. It was also happening to one other person but someone else tried and said it was fine, it also works
I'm playing on antistasi plus with red hammer studio assets. I've tried making new saves and restarting my game but it's still happening
verifying game files right now
It's also worth noting that remote controlling an ai into the helicopter doesn't do this
SOG AI initialization calls a Prairie Fire function to initialize command wheel. That never fails for me. And I don't understand whatever language that error message is localized in. This is the call to a PF function which works for me:
[] call vn_fnc_cmdOL_init;
Undefined variable in expression:
vn_fnc_cmdOL_init
so 99% loaded SOG AI without SOGPF
Sounds like you have a view distance mod setting it to 0 while in aircraft.
I am so stupid, yes that was why, thank you so much
how to repair that?
there are some things that can't be repaired whatever you try...
load the SOGPF DLC
oh wait, I though he forgot to post image of the actual problem, lol. Got too used to the answers feature as a followup to convos.
but author descriube his mod, and he said nothing require to play with this mod
im confused
Same on PC, it clearly says the DLC is required.
you need the dlc
excellent! enjoy
Is there any way to stop your view from pointing into the sky when you're prone behind walls? Super annoying.
cant recall such behavior myself
could it be caused by some mod you have
nope. Go prone behind for example a low stone wall out in a field, then turn toward the wall. Your view then is forced about 45 degrees into the sky.
in arma3?
yes, arma 3.
Hey, Me and my friend trying to play arma 3, But when he opens the server it doesnt show up for me.
portforwarding might be needed
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”
We are using portforwarding
if its done correctly it is still possible your friends internet connection is not IPV4 type
👍
Thanks i'll try,
im chillin on 30 fps
30 fps is good
So we found out that hes connected to IPV6 and not IPV4
We got no idea how to change it
The internet is confusing
that would need to be done by the internet service provider Im afraid
It's not the router's choice. ISP chooses whether to give you a real IPv4 or not.
go up 1 sub-stance, default probably ctrl+w
Not normal
From Arma 3's perspective, or that of it's game/graphics engine, current hardware is 'not normal'.
im getting a new gpu, mainly to handle more mods in arma, but 30 fps is fine for me, theres really no difference when you look at the screen
whenever i play arma 3 it wont let me use the escape key however i know my escape key works as i have tested it
any idea on how i fix that?
Check if the Controls/Keyboard/Common/Pause keybind is actually defined.
Hi there, I am unable to post a video right now but can later tpday. I'm looking for help on severe vegetation and bush/ grass pop in close to player. It's like there's a 50m circle around the player and any bush type or flower type plant doesn't render properly until I am virtually on top of it. I have tried adjusting graphics settings to no avail. O am installed on ssd and using ryzen 5800x3d with an rx 6700xt. It's like vegetation doesn't fully render until I am close and it's has an effect many bushes popping in and out constantly. Can't really focus on the game as vegetation keeps appearing and disappearing as I move. Seems to be all maps but mainly effects flowers and those little bush clumps. Not sp much trees or anything.
its fully bound but even if i rebind it to something other than esc it still doesnt work
do you have mods?
Are you using any other mods that could affect that key?
not any that could affect that key but even then when im in base arma with no mods it still doesnt work
What keyboard you are using? Have you tried press shift + esc ?
im not even sure what keyboard im using but its not just arma that my escape key doesnt work in now
If other programs have the same issue then it is time for a keyboard clean or replacement.
i might have solved it im testing it out now but i uninstalled my keyboard and hopefully it works
Having issue of when launching Arma, my friend gets the message of "(0x0000019F)The specified data could not be read from any of the copies"
That's a rare one.
Hello, Im trying to join a game and I keep getting stuck on the Mission loading screen after the lobby, then my Arma shuts down with no code. I do have 70mods downloaded, however everyone else in my unit loads in okay.
Out of memory perhaps. One of those mods being bad and the server doesn't care what you load with.
Hm how can I fix this
I have 2TB free on Memory
80% on RAM
Doubtfull. Maybe 2TB free on your SSD, but not in your RAM memory.
Ah my RAM 80% on Task manager
ok
14GB of Ram I believe
However my friend was using same RAM and he was fine
It also said Steam Ticket Failed, I Verified the files and everything. Im also Running Profiling Version of Arma
You'll have to check the game client RPT log file if it says anything about what is going wrong at that stage. And upload any crash dump files (.mdmp) to the feedback tracker site so the devs can figure out a possible cause.

ty
If you get Steam ticket failed then maybe you need to restart Steam. Something goes wrong with checking your account login to it.
But I suppose if the game crashes, then the steam check fails too somehow.
Yeah its weird
Hey i have problem with the servers , my server dont show to my friends
Please help
tick the UPNP box and hope.
How do i disable 3den's alt+lmb teleport?
why would you disable it? It does not work when you actually play your scenario.
Hey I'm getting this error EPE manager release (0|165|0)
Anyone know what could cause this?
What do you do to make it happen?
It's not an error. Just part of the mission shutdown process.
So made a custom eden misson added it to the server, when we try start the mission it kicks us back to the multiplayer server lobby
probably best to test with some vanilla mission to see if that runs properly.
if it does then your mission is somehow broken
Thanks!!
does anyone know how to switch arma 3 to my other monitor?
Check the pinned in #arma3_config
GUYS PLEASE HELP MY SERVER WONT SHOW TO MY FRIENDS !!
i did evrything as usual
i played 2 days ago
Hey so this is the error
no entry bin\config.bin/cfgpatches.utes
Can't work out what utes is as was also showing as a error for the Fallujah map
utes is another map
ans something in your setup is doing something for that config or requiring it but its broken or missing
so youll have to check your mods
so i searched in the steam workshop but cant find a utes map, is it part of CUP etc do you know?
probably part of cup yeah since its an older map
?
its not really possbile to tell what the issue is especially if it just recently worked
maybe your ISP changed something or your IP changed and you need to set up stuff again. whatever you have done before
like from router settings?
possibly yeah
so ive sorted that issue however on server logs it shows this, think this might be why we cant get past the lobby im not sure
I dont really know much specifcs on servers so cant help you there
me either been trying to make a training map for my guys and every time i get issues, this is our second map attempt XD
first make sure server works with vanilla missions
and without mods
then add mods and custom mission
so with all the mods it works fine, but not sure why i keep geting fubared custom missions if all the mods etc are the same :/
could be something in the mission done wrong 
possibly will be investigating that now XD
Hello,
currently experiencing a "Steam API failure" on a server. Saw a post about CUP maps causing this issue.
I can't get their bugtracker website to load so I can't check it. :(
Does anyone know if this is still an issue? The forum post, here: https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/239087-steam-api-failed/ , has a mention as of June 2022 saying that CUP maps were the issue. Is there any corroboration on this?
Our server is trying to load a cup map too
hiagainguys
So I'm having an issue with FIR AWS not working in Zeus
I tried using the manage addons module and doing activateaddons in the debug console, but it seems to just duplicate pre-existing options and not actually add them
So I'm not sure if its a problem with FIR and Zeus or Zeus and the context menu, but if anyone has an answer or something else I can try please let me know
For extra context, the AWS system works fine when I place one of Firewill's vehicles down through Eden but doesn't work at all when I place the same aircraft down through zeus or add an editable object to the pre-existing plane
And for extra extra context, the option that gets duplicated in the context menu is the toggle afterburner, so it looks like FIR wants to work, but it's just not for some reason
im pretty sure the cause for your mission to crash is the missing jpg pictures you have in the mission somewhere as that has caused missions not to work for me before
Found the issue thank you all!!
@meager sinew
hmmm we can switch to fallujah 2.0, issues fixed :)
Oops... message removed due to me having a memory like a sieve 😅
my friends view is bugged inside the helicopter for some reason, anyone know what is causing this?
3rd person view?
nope
Is he sitting in a back seat of the helo? I have no clue how it is supposed to look actually.
it is not supposed to look like that lol
it looked like this when he was in the heli
Duh, but give me an example then. I don't know the mod or whatever.
hatchet H-60
the slick version
so the view would either be from the benches on either side (you can see the feet hanging over) or the gunner seats
Well, looking through the ground isn't an option, so I guess they limit the camera to the ground level.
i guess
but whats causing it?
he has around 190 ping but i doubt that would cause it
Probably doesn't have anything to do with his system. Unless you don't get it in the exact same situation. I'd say report it to the mod creators. They know how they set up their camera views or something.
alr cheers
This is 3rd person view. You said it wasn't.
its on veteran
he cant be in third person
Technically there is a way for 3rd person view in vehicles. But that is indeed not allowed in veteran difficulty. But maybe the server admin tweaked it to custom.
As said, confirm if this is realy an issue by you sitting in the same position.
does anyone know how to switch arma 3 to my other monitor?
Make the other (desired) monitor your Windows Main Display
Having An Issue with my Mission, any time i load into a multiplayer instance, it randomly starts playing music. it was originally doing the intro music for East wind, now its playing various 30 second clips of music.
Steam overlay activated perhaps?
No idea why its happening, may have something to do with the fact that i added Sectors, but idk
You mean like, Shift+Tab Menu?
Its always on
yes, steam tab
Yea i always have it on, never been an issue before
Many people complain it starts playing videos in the background.
Ever since the last major Steam app update
well if i play other music ingame, its fine
and it plays that music
and then goes back to playing that
I'll try turning off my Overlay
If it is ingame music, then probably not.
Hello I’ve got a problem where when I play arma 3 for a while my screen goes completely dark and all I see is a cursor. I can’t assess anything else and the only thing I can do restart the pc and even after that it keeps happening.
Cant find any fix for this online so figured i'd see if anyone can help me here. my aircraft turret stabilization for keeping my crosshair gimballed on a target on the ground doesn't work. the lock is permanently off for me. any way to fix this?

Does anyone know what could be causing the turret to get stuck in place? this happens with any turret, and only goes away after I leave and rejoin a server.
No mods, but was running Prairie Fire. Had it occur during a vanilla Anistasi game too though.
an additional controller is messing up aim perhaps, a pad or joystick
make a new profile and see if this happens too.
also if this happens in vanilla antistasi but not in vanilla itself perhaps it's some script the gamemode you're playing causing this.
Sounds very similar to this person's issue: #general_chat_arma message
Any idea what this is about? I'm using the ACE version that's compatible with PiR
clearly not as its not removed everything that requires the medical engine
or some other mod relies on it
I don’t suppose anyone would happen to know why Arma 3 freezes every three seconds (yes I timed it) with or without mods or DLCs loaded, with my specs being more than enough to run the game?
Since a few Arma Patches i have the Problem that after some time, especially when playing with CDLCs/Big Modsets, the game starts to loose FPS and the Graphics start to flicker. I don't know if there is a way to prevent this. At start i was have 60+ FPS but at the end only 20 and lower. The only thing i notice, that the GPU Usage goes down to less then 10% while the GPU Ram is almost full. Here is a Video how the Problems starts. At the end i will only have 3-5 FPS and no LODs.
After playing 1 and a half hour on the Server. The Graphics start to flicker and FPS went down below 20 (60+ at Start). Also the GPU Utilization was constantly sinking at least 9-10%, GPU Ram was at 9,2 with 10,0 max and System RAM where 28,7 GB of 63,7 GB
System Specs
i7 12700k
64GB DDR4 Ram
RTX 3080 10GB
Arma 3 and Mods on SSD
My System Specs are
i7 12700k, with 64GB of RAM and a 3080 with 10GB of RAM. Arma 3 and Mods are on an NVMe SSD.
there are multiple possible reasons. having game on HDD, faulty HDD/SSD, any other faulty component, custom parameters set etc
And how would I narrow it down
Because I used to have this issue in the past, fixed it, then it came back and I don't remember what I did to fix it.
through doing health checks on every hardware perhaps. you could start from disabling custom parameters (as in nothing enabled there), make a new profile in game that has default settings and check if it does anything.
then check the drive, ram with a benchmark or any other software if they are not faulty in some way.
unsubscribe from scenarios and compositions, perhaps one of them got broken or Steam went into a loop trying to fetch data.
Already checked the drive it's on just now, seems to be in order
This suddenly happened when i started up Arma 3 please help me fix it, my screen was already on that resolution but it still says that i need to change it does anyone know how to fix?
Can anyone help me with Arma 3 multiplayer? I'm new to Arma 3. I don't know how to join or set up a server to play with my Friend.
I cant seem to find a help channel. My Arma 3 does not load at all when i have a certain mod preset. Does anyone know how to fix this? It might be due to mods not working together? although i'm not sure if thats causing it. I cant find any youtube vidoes with my specific problem.
you should check youtube
If you have an error message, post it
No error
the game just refuses to load
when i try other mod presets it loads just fine
Any of it? Not even STATUS ACCESS VIOLATION?
Nah
do you think the mods are interfering with it?
If you mean it stuck in "Loading Addons" or something, have you waited enough?
it gets stuck on initializing addons
i've waiting up to 30 mins
and still nothing
i have another preset with 2x many mods and it loads in under 2 mins
Which OS you're on?
is os like 64 bit or 32 bit?
More of Windows or MacOS or Linux
Okay I guess 30 min is something weird and I want you to check the pinned to check to find the faulty Mod
alright i will try that out
it is defiantly a mod thing
i unloaded half of them and it worked fine
loaded the other half and that works too
this is very weird
ah i cant send any sc
but it says "STATUS_APPLICATION_HANG
it turned into a black screen and said arma 3 is not responding
HANG says it hangs up. You still need to check which is the faulty
I can't launch Arma 3 and I have no idea why
How can I tell which is faulty?
The same way with what you've done
So do we. We need more info than that to tell how/why it doesn't work. Check the pinned for the examples of info we want
rodger my bad one sec then I'll go into more specific detail
I have narrowed it down and I'm getting closer
Every time I attempt to join a multiplayer server or try to get in to Arma 3 it give's me a weird error saying "The cloud file provider is not running." it also gives me this code (0x0000016A). To note I have uninstalled reinstalled Arma 3 I also moved it to another hard drive to attempt to fix it.
The USP mods are causing the game not to load. Any idea why? and how i can use them
Disable OneDrive
If it is a legit USP (not reuploaded or smth) right click the Mod and repair
how I've looked up how and don't understand
Google knows
thanks for all the help
So does it work?
Hi, can anyone help me with this error I've been having for quite a while now. When I launch the game it'll show me the arma title screen but crash with the error 0xC0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
I've tried unloading all the mods, reinstalling the game, updating graphics, system file check, and check integrity via Steam
I've been playing only in singleplayer, the problem seem to only affect with Arma 3 only
i9 10900k, 32GB of RAM, 2070 Super
Sorry, that error code is very generic. It might not be due to Arma 3 itself but could be other parts of your system not working well: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_Process_Exit#0xC0000005_-_ACCESS_VIOLATION
Also, a folder named after a backup from 1993. THAT is OLD!
LOL
I believe I've tried most of these before, but with even 1 mod it just killed itself just like I mentioned
do you think this would help find the cause?

Only the BI developers can make sense of that, or the .mdmp file that the game generates, when you upload it to the Bohemia Interactive Feedback tracker site.
Maybe they can narrow it down to something.
I see I see
I'll upload it to the feedback tracker then
hopefully they can find the cause🙏
Just in case, you want to verify Windows as well
as in the sfc /scannow?
Yeah. The error told you a part of Windows throws an error I assume
Was part of the suggested solutions in that error code link
I have tried the sfc scan
it came back verified, launched then crashed
I'll try it again just incase
crashed again
same error
Did you install the update for Visual C++ 2013 redistributable?
I think I downloaded the 2015 - 2022 ones
I'll try the 2013 one
do I need to restart my pc after installation?
Better to restart
@plain fern Do you have any joysticks or gamepads plugged in?
I don't have any joysticks or gamepad, but I have a port that utilise PS vita as joystick if it has any importance in it
yeah maybe.
should I try deleting it?
Yes.
TrackIR or anything like that? Try disconnecting all non-essential USB devices?
Its your joystick.
The crash is inside windows dll's trying to talk to your joystick
If it adds a joystick, probably
I'll try restarting my pc again as I just deleted the program
There is also a bug in the game thingking that it turned force-feedback on even though it hasn't.
It detects that the joystick was disconnected, and tries to ask it for new force feedback settings.
But that stuff shouldn't fail, so game bug combined with driver bug
same crash
Send me a new report of that one, I only need the .mdmp, if you pack it as zip you can send it directly via DM, its in
!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

Yep still exact same thing.
But the game only processes Joysticks if there is a Joystick
Go to your start menu, and search for "gamepad" that should find the gamecontroller management from windows, that will display you what joysticks you have connected
on it
I found one
what should I do next

I think I got it
IT WORKS!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH
So what was the one you missed?
apparently when I uninstall the vitapad program, the window still recognizes it and kept searching the non existent controller
right
Hi guys!
i am a player from Arma 3
and recently i am having a problem with the game
in particular with the new update 2.14
the problem is that on the game on steam i can't download the current version 1.14
2.14*
(i play from a macOS)
i just wanted to know if that is normal or there is actually a problem with the game
See #linux_mac_branch
The MacOS update was delayed, it is currently in RC testing, to be released soon
oh ok so for now that's normal?
Yeah you have to use the access code in the betas tab
for what? to play the game in the current version?
to play the game in the rc testing for the current version*
or just wait a bit more (days)

New bug that happens when using artillery.
You set up a mortar tube and use the artillery computer (or anything that uses artillery computer) and shoot a few rounds
Then - some point after, every single turret or mounted weapon you use will move and lock in the position you fired your last mortar or artillery. When firing the turret while locked and frozen, the bullets hit the exact area your mortar rounds hit.
Its random and has just started occurring in the last 2 weeks. Seems to be related to using the artillery computer.
When i try to take a screenshot which is PrntSc it wont let me
F12
I’ve ruled out that it’s my SSD, have a fresh install of Arma 3 no mods no DLC loaded, and yet every time I run the game I consistently drop frames every three seconds. Any ideas?
Can you tell us more of the situations? Such as referred in pinned post
inb4 "oh, i'm on linux btw" 4 hours down the line
Hello everyone, I'm looking for a clue to be able to add the virtual garage hack to my server, if anyone has anything, there is only one exad version ? thx
We don't know what virtual garage hack is.
Can anyone help as to why enemies dont have a body and only show their helmets etc
It is very hard to answer why exactly if we have no info than "it does an issue". Possible answers:
- You're using a badly made Mod
- Your RAM, VRAM or any hardware/harddrive is slow to make some artifact
- Your game is somehow corrupted
It only shows on a couple missions
Please refer to pinned post(s) for example of info we/you need to solve something. If you can post a picture, it is good too
It can also happen if you are not loading the same mods as other players, or the server. (And if the server doesn't care what you have loaded)
see #socials, update has been published
Hello, so every time I try to load in to this server I get the following error. Now when I received this error I had tried multiple things. I tried making sure I had all the mods the sever had, I tried remaking the map, I also tried uninstalling the mod. Now if I am correct I believe the error is relating to the Advanced Rappelling - Reworked mod. If you someone could give me some ideas that would be amazing.
ACE just had an update.
I am aware of that. Is there a mod I need to get rid of?
You might need to remove a dependency from the mission sqm.
I'll give it a try.
are you running rhsusaf
Yes.
the compats were changed to use skipwhenmissingdependencies so if you previously used the rhs compat without rhsusaf it will cause that
So these were the RHS mods I was using.
Ok
hi all. i'm trying to join a public antistasi server, and when i join i get a list of mods to load or download - some are just showing as '@x' so I don't know what they are, and the 'Find on Steam Workshop' action doesn't resolve it to an actual mod. any ideas please?
anyone know how to fix this with ace medical?
Thats the server owners fault. They intentionally edited the names to be unreadable
You have to ask them
ACE recently got updated, try repairing the mod in launcher so it can update
Often need to close & reopen launcher for some reason.
can anyone help me ?
I'd say look at the text bottom left
You need to also describe the issue
I updated the mods
Nothing appears in Arsenal and I cannot exit.
as you can see
@pine kite @uncut trellis ?
does anyone know how to fix this?
I would say report issues to the ACE 3 discord or steam workshop page. If so many people have issues using their mod after this update, then they haven't done their homework on how to make this ACE update perform flawlessly.
I haven't checked it out myself yet.
Usually if mods don't update correctly, just unsubscribe, restart Steam and the launcher, then re-subscribe to it. And restart the launcher and the game.
ACE Arsenal extended is broken, unload it for now
Those are way more compat pbo's than I thought existed.
No idea why every rhs compat has like 4 or more variants..
Delete them all, compats are now integrated into ACE. Stop loading the old outdated noes

anyone know how to fix this?
Can someone offer any insight into why my dedicated server fps would drop over the course of several hours? It starts out at around 47 FPS, but in four or so hours is down to 35, and will continue to slowly drop the longer it is left on (Persistent Mission)
I have HostHavoc w/High CPU Priority
w/Headless Client (maintains 40+ FPS)
Game Mode: Liberation RX
Mods: CBA, ACRE, ACE, ACE Ext Ars, ACE Ext Ars RHS All-in-One, RHSUSAF, USAF Mod, USAF AC130, Tactical Position Ready, Sweet Markers System, Rank and Role, Military Ranks and Insignias Mod, TPVNG, CF_BAI, Lambs Danger, Drongos Better AI Gunners, Zeus Enhanced, Zeus Enhanced ACE3 Compat, Airfield Logistics.
Please consider the following:
-I have ran this mission (game mode) before, for many many months, with no issues like this. And I have tested a different mission with the same results.
-I have ran Ace and these same Ace Compat Mods also for many months, and never had this issue.
-Removing all Ace mods seems to improve and stabilize FPS, but not completely.
-This problem existed before and after the new Ace update.
-The only new mods I'm running on the server that I've not used in the past, are: Rank and Role, Military Ranks and Insignias, CF_BAI.
After about 10 hours, the Server FPS drops so low (~10) that when sectors spawn in with 70-100 AI, there is a lot of desync. Making the game unplayable. Restarting the mission sort of resets the issue.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Fix what?
One thing you probably want to know is, a Mod can be updated anytime and change how it works. So "I've ran this for a while" is not really a considerable fact.
Also, that sounds like some Mod is stacking its script or assets over and over. I cannot probably answer or have insights ASAP but checking how many scripts are running using Debug Console may help
(diag_activeSQFScripts)
ACE related stuff tends to stack onto CBA's queue instead though.
well, CBA has several queues apparently
cracks up at execAfterNFrames
I'll do some testing again tomorrow and check # of scripts via console.
The CBA ones to check are probably:
cba_common_perFrameHandlerArray
cba_common_nextFrameBufferA
cba_common_waitAndExecArray
cba_common_waitUntilAndExecArray
Will do. Thnx m8
Artillery computer is broken
Every turret will point at your last artillery computer designated target and freezes, you cant move it. Completely breaks your game if you use it even one time.
Tested with 100% vanilla no mods
That’s really about it. My hardware is more than capable of running Arma 3, and regardless if I have mods or DLC loaded the game constantly stutters/freezes/whatever you want to call it every three seconds.
have you tried unsubscribing from compositions and scenarios?
Yes
what about disabling ingame overlays? Steam, Discord, Nvidia/AMD and whatever app could run on top of the game.
cans omeoen help
do i really have to restart my entire singleplayer scenarios
because i deleted an ace addon mod
its not letting me load into the mission but i can get into eden editor
is there a way to remove the unneccesary mod
and keep my scenario
@umbral narwhal @bronze river its been a few days since the update and it still says ace hearing pbo is outdated
ive tried repairing ace through the launcher
it still wont work when i actually load into the gamew
im verifying game files to see if that would do the trick
do u have their discord
One of your mods has an old version of ace in it.
I ran that command in console this morning, I have pasted results to notepad++. If you have a moment sometime, could I send it to you via DM and have you give me your opinion on it? (I have little to no experience with this stuff).
But to me it looks like CF_BAI could be an issue, is it takes up nearly the entire screen on its own, several pages in fact.
Maybe. You can also upload the file to this channel directly (you need to check #rules to have the permission)
Oh my. Indeed looks like something related with the issue
You said this morning - does this mean you ran the server for a while and done this after that?
Server was on for 11 hours, overnight. Server FPS is down to 7 this morning, at the time of running this.
Do you have such lines right after the server's launch?
Unknown. But in about 5 minutes I can give you an answer lol
This is a minute after reboot... still a lot of them from CF_BAI, but not as many as from overnight.
Hmm. Try diag_activeScripts and it throws what? I know this is too late to suggest, but anyways
Pol did you see my message from earlier
Currently: [101,47,0,1]
how would i remove it if all my missions will become non playable
remove the mod, go through all the missions and force load them and then re export them
Or just don't load 2 ACE mods
If the other mod includes it you don't need to load the official release
the thing is it wont let me do that
when i click force load
with only ace
it still gives the error
That decaySuppression function is probably not to blame, as it doesn't do anything unless the current suppression is >0. Usually scheduled scripts can't cripple fps anyway, because they're only allowed to run for 3ms per frame total.
There are a lot of them because it adds one per unit.
Their main website has a link to it: https://ace3.acemod.org/
If you meant vanila single player scenarios then you shouldn't use ACE 3 with it anyway. It can bust up the scripting/scenario logic in it.
If it was made by somebody else then I guess you are stuck with it, or restart a specific scenario if it was part of a campaign.
i usually do stuff with AI
ace3 is helpful mainly with taking ai prisoner and stuff
also modifying my weapon on the go
all that stuff
also most mods require it
Doesn't matter what you do with AI, you are having trouble with starting/continuing saved scenarios.
like pir
it literally started right when ace updated
which was
2 days ago
Well yeah, updates of mods can break savegames. It is as it is.
what
i think its because the addons of the ace mod that i have
arent updated
do all additions to ace3 have to be updated when ace updates?
could you tell me which mods
i would need to disable
ill disable all except main ace
n see if it works
I don't know which need to be updated. But likely they do if the base mod has major changes. Ask the mod creator if it needs to be done. I mean, he/she will have to have done the work for it before. Simply expect it to no longer work. If it does work, have fun playing on as is.
ace
ACE3 For Project Injury...
ok so
.
i dont think it had ace in it
if it did it never bugged anything out for me
ive had it for months
It does.
ace is 3.16
or pir ace
¯_(ツ)_/¯
depends on which one you want to use
newer ace better
modern
ok but
i still cant
load in
after disabling everything but ace
it just gives an error that starts with ace_
ACE needs CBA.
i have cba enabled obv
can anyone else try loading into a mission
with ace
see if its buggin out
Also, are you talking about opening Arma 3 itself with those mods and getting error messages? Or specifically restarting from a save made with those previous mods?
specifically loading into a normal map, then in the eden editor clicking my saves and opening up a save i have
let me try loading into a normal game
Ok, so trying to edit an existing Eden Editor scenario. (With then complaints about missing addonds)
trying to load into it yeah
i can get into eden editor
edit stuff
but i cant load in
and play
I thought scenarios always had a "load anyway" option.
ive tried that
it literally
ends the mission
automatically after clivcking it
which leads me to beleive its ace itself
ok yeah
just tried loading into a plain non save game
doesnt work
it gave me a different error
but still ace
Yeah your mods are still fucked.
so this is when i load into a save
Maybe you pasted something into the parameters command line ages ago.
bro im using the same mods
as before
You're not using what you think you're using.
Didn't you say this is with just CBA and ACE?
yeah in regards to ace mods
do u want me to disable
all my mods
except cba and ace
Yes? Otherwise we have no idea what you're loading.
Also go through the parameters in the launcher and check you have nothing in "command line".
Messing around in the editor, especially with mods, is out of my comfort zone, so I am out helping.
Or "Mods" for that matter.
k its working
now what..
do i have to find the exact mod thats
fuckin up my game
also 90% of my saves are gone now
@umbral narwhal is there a way to find out which is bugging it out
Actually yes, but you have to read the RPT for it.
!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.
Otherwise just use the binary search method. Enable about half your mods, test. Disable half of those, etc.
could it be
all the ace dependencies
because ace just updated
and they need to update to compat?
No. ace_xm157.pbo is part of ACE itself, so the message likely means that you're loading two whole copies of ACE, old and new.
ace3 for pir is not a compat, its a version of ace
dont ever load more than one version of ace
@umbral narwhal , @steady hawk guys, thanks for all of your help, tips, and suggestions! I removed CF_BAI this morning and rebooted. My server has now been online nearly four hours, the my Server FPS remains above 47, and no longer fluctuates. Problem solved. 🫡 😎
ok i disabled it and its still giving me the same error
help
😭
disabled what
the extra ace
Ok that is pretty weird.
There's a whole repack of ACE in there somewhere. Maybe this one:
18:56:48 C:\Users\deeds\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\!Workshop\@Project Menorah\addons\ace_main.pbo - unknown
project menorah is a dependency filled mod, it pretty much takes all the idf mods, morphs em together into 3 categories, ground air and navy, instead of having like 5 different idf mods each being in its own categories with sub sections
i can make a gc with the owner if u want i have him added on discord
actually ill just disable it
yep its project menorah
@umbral narwhal thank you so much
i dont know why dce did that..
repacking other people's mods is a disease
its a really good mod imo
APART from the fact that it requires
30 other mods
it's a shit mod if it causes issues.
i asked him to tone down the dependencies because people wont like it
idf mods as dependencies i understand but like
ffaa and that stuff?
why am i downloading a spanish army
mod
for an idf mod
dependencies are better than repacking
I do not understand why it depends on CBA, yet it has repacked ace
he updates the mod every 1-2 days
because its a wip
he mightve done it by mistake
though idk how u could add
ace
to ur mod
accidentally repacking the whole of ACE :D
by mistake
LOL
yeah
im going to re-enable pir ace and keep normal ace
cuz it aint causing issues

Is there a way to see which mods are part of a mod pack such that I can find said mods on the steam workshop and install them directly rather than relying on the mod pack. or do I just have to use the PBOs to figure that out?
If the modpack maker is a proper human, they list all the mods they packed together
if not, you have to manually go through the PBO's and try to guesstimate what is what
yeah he was not a proper human sadly
idk if this is the right place to post this but are server keeps getting this error and wont start up over it
Warning Message: Addon 'zen_compat_ace' requires addon 'ace_interaction'
ace isnt installed properly on the server
ye for some reason the mod file was empty and thanks for the help
anyone know how to fix this everything was working fine then boom this showed up
Update ACE and remove all the compat mods. They're built into ACE now.
oh ok thanks
ive been getting this cloud error when ive verified my files on steam ive reinstalled on C and D drives i just dont know what do to

ive just been getting errors for onedrive now so ig im done
👍
Every time I try to launch a campaign, DLC or addon, it says I can’t play because I’m missing task force radio… there’s a bunch on steam so idk which one to download
I’m on Mac, Arma 3 Runs fine with mods. I tried launching the arrowhead campaign, and I kept getting these messages whenever I loaded a save saying ‘you cannot play/edit this content. It is dependent on files that have been deleted (task force radio, task force radio items)’ I don’t recall deleting them, and now it’s getting progressively worse to the point where I can’t launch a campaign, it sends me back to the menu with the same message. Is it a mod I need to install? If so, it isn’t listed on the requirements on steam. This is also happening with the Spec ops DLC missions. I’ve got a bunch on loaded mods though, but this didn’t happen before, with the same ones installed.
well, one issue is you are on mac, dunno if they updated mac version but its usually behind. as of tfar dependability, yeah some mods will change alot esspecially since you are playing campaigns that are prebuilt with the intention of being just the campaign/cdlc loaded and not additionals. go to the steam workshop and sift through all of the mods you are trying to run and see if any have tfar dependancies
tldr, check dependencies of mods and dont expect campaigns to work 100% with mods loaded
Basically what tom said. Mac is already updated into 2.14 so it is not a concern I think
fixed it
buldozer crashes for me on the Unsung O-1 model. Any idea where those crash files are located and if they can help to isolate the problem?

Which mods has built in support in the latest ACE?
Is there a list some where ?
And has anyone else experienced that the AI can take huge amount of beating before dying? (also with the latest ACE)
They go down, but gets back up like zombies. And they keep twitching on the ground until you laterally shoot them in their face from 1m...
thx man!
set fatal damage source to either instead of fatal hits only
thx again man!
where exactly do i find this setting?
ace medical
(Addon settings that CBA adds. Then something in the pulldownlist with ACE.)
@vivid relic the mod collection you linked has the current version of ACE. If your scenario is outdated and depends on an older version it will not work
Another streamer is playing these modes and he has no problems
He’s probably not playing the outdated version. Find the more recent one
As far as I see, the newest overthrow mode is Community Edition.
what is thissss
Are you looking at dependencies before you just download stuff?
You kinda have to read the pages for mods
can someone help me my mic works in everygame i play and discord just not arma 3 ?
what can i do to fix it
Trying to configure my server addons when I go into the server and log in as admin it wont let me change the values at all. Any ideas?
hey guys got this error message after launching the game. i just reinstalled it after taking a break, got some mods, played with them, unloaded them and tried launching it again and I got this...any ideas?
which then gives me the 0x0000DEAD forced shutdown error code
Whenever I progress in "Supply Network" in the campaign, there's a mission that when I start it just freezes the game on the map, it lets me move my cursor but the game has effectively crashed, there's no error since the game doesn't actually crash, but just freezes. I've searched on google and in the discord and saw that it's been mentioned a few times but no one has responded with a fix, can anyone help?

anyone know how to fix the ACE RHS compat??
Define fix and which is the Mod and what is the error you have
When I enter the game with the ace mod and all the RHS mods, a red box appears saying that the compat versions are old
and this
(Most of) Compats for ACE is now integrated into ACE itself and no need to load extra Mods anymore
And that probably is why
Then you may have a Modpack that overwrites it shamelessly
You may also want to check rpt
!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.

The problem is that both add-ons are not among the game modes and baigsman is not available in the steam workshop.
Hello, been a few months since we played on our dedicated server and an update came up. I did all that I usually do to update it, using Steamcmd... yet the server does not show up in the LAN browser using hamachi. However, Direct Connect shows it to everyone, except trying to connect that way times out and no attempt to connect shows in the dedicated server console.
I am at my wits end here, since I tried fixing the network adapter, making exceptions in firewall, reinstalling hamachi... restarted both the machine and server countless times with no result.
I know people don't like hamachi, but we've been playing arma on it for years without issue.
Pinging the host on hamachi returns consistent feedback with low ping for everyone, it just seems to be the A3 server that fails to recognize any attempts to connect, despite showing up in direct connect.
Connecting via direct connect to 192.168.1.17 which is the server LAN IPv4 at my home also shows the server on my other pc but fails to connect without any console hint.
Opened all the ports in both firewall and router despite not needing to do it in past, this did not help.
Flushed and re-registered DNS in cmd, did not help either.
Headless clients connect fine from the same machine the server runs on.
Mods are not an issue since they are completely identical on the machines I am trying to connect and have worked consistently in past.
(I did switch network provider some time ago and transitioned to optic fiber. The server runs on machine which is on wifi, this setup run reliably in the past but decided to stop working this time around..)
since the ace update, only headshots kill AI, I confirmed this by disabling medical and it worked. anyone else seeing this?
depending on your other mods, ace medical is sometimes incompatible with custom uniforms and armors, making people and NPCs nearly immortal
I also stripped them and they were still invincible
Oh... then I can't say
ok, thanks anyways
It might also be some mod that modifies custom health or damages? I am not sure, as I fixed that issue a few times in past by removing ace medical, or the specific problematic armors.
I need help, i have loaded a mod with new factions, they show up in editor but they are not showing up in zeus, and yes, i have enabled all addons including unofficial ones,
i also have made sure that the configs have scopeCurator = 2;
Do they show up in zeus when you run the mission as SP from the editor?
Make sure your running it in MP
can sombody help me add in ray fx i got it and the body cam and ive been trying for hours been playing arma a while just new to dis
Rayfx is a scam. Delete it.
Copy that I’m waiting for somebody to send me the list of legit mods but nobody has can you point me in the right direction?
No. I don't use stuff like that
Danm
You may have a faulty Mod that contains ACE
I've been using the same playset for 5 months
It is not a concern
Sobbing
It is easy to say you can unload the faulty Mod
ah yes
time to scavenge through my 75 mods
good times
It is also easy to try the pinned solution
Good idea
okay
you were right
its not an ace problem
some compat issue
thanks for the advice
i'll look into it now
why is my ace medical menu not coming up on my new pc
i’m trying to find the key bind for it in the menu but i can’t
think i’m just being stupid
Anyone finding issues getting on ARMA 3?
If you want to ask a question ask it
Like, is it hanging on the load screen for anyone else?
You want to tell us more info like pinned post so we can answer
Apologies, obviously not clear enough
The game boots up, into the launcher, but upon booting into the game it freezes and does not play. It hangs on the ARMA 3 splashscreen.
Splashscreen as in the fullscreen?
Yes.
Vanilla?
There is a littany of mods loaded. I will printscreen it in a moment.
If you wonder you always want to unload all Mods and play in vanilla so you can make sure it is a Mod's fault or game's
I and five others have the mods loaded, three of the five are running into the same issue.
Five other people you mean? Then it is obviously a Mod's fault
Ah sorry I misread what you said yeah, but still you want to make sure what can cause it
Roger.
If it is a Mod's issue, you can try the pinned steps. If it is not, do verify
!steamverify
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.
Roger. Will do.
I'm going to boot into vanilla and see if that rectifies the issue.
It boots into vanilla fine, so it's a mod.
anybody can help me load mods onto a dedicated server? (rented fron streamline)
not too sure why its not working tbh
(rpt)
I have the problem that Arma 3 doesn't add "continue." before my save Arma 3 files which results in me not being able to continue save files and having to add it manually
Is there anyway to fix it, so it happens automatically again? (I've tried playing without mods, reinstalling, verifying game files)
I have the issue where terrain appears to be fragmenting after experiencing some server load. This hasn't always happened and only appeared to happen after the Thermal Update. It happens for some people but not all and is often accompanied by a mass frame drop. Aborting and rejoining seems to be a temporary fix for the frame lag however terrain fragmentation still occurs. There is nothing that appears to be the root cause in the rpt logs both serverside and clientside.
I've not been able to replicate this issue outside of operations, I was just wondering if this is a known issue and if there is a fix for it.
Monitor:
Server FPS: 46, Mem used 3788MB, out 1918 Kbps, in 231 kbps. 21 Players connected.
(See Video for fragmentation)
@signal panther Seen the symptoms before but as far as I know it's a local effect with local causes.
Cheers, I'll have a look at rebuilding the mod pack I suppose.
Does anyone know what this means?

You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted. mbg_killhouses_a3, FM_Targets missing mods 
They're in my command line and downloaded to the server.
if the game says they aren't loaded, then the game isn't loading them 
is there a fix?
read your rps, see what's wrong, fix it 
...and how do I do that
if anyone knows what mod adds this medical system please tell me
i cant finda any mod that adds a medical system other than ace
but I have that disabled
The message even told you the author's name. Not sure you want to use it or not but you can guess what is telling this message
Diwako most likely means its armor plate system
oh ok
i checked their workshop and they didnt have any medical mods
but i forgot that aps has something
aps also broke ace medical
anyone know how to fix this issue im having. whenever i boot the game, doesnt matter if i have mods on or not, if i go into the editor and open click on the file icon the game freezes then crashes
ive played this game since it released on 3 different pcs all with lower specs than what i have rn and ive never had this issue
ive also played this game on this pc before and havent had this issue
this started yesterday out of the blue
This is a weird one. Tried many things and had my Op group try to help me with this one to no success.
Using the ace arsenal to make loud outs, when I save them they show up in the list, but if I close the loadout then reopen it my loadout has not saved.
I've tried it with both our detachments mods (which everyone else has had no issues with), and stripped down to the Ace and CBA mods.
As pictured I have set the files to edit and view permissions, we have tried new profiles.
We've verified integrity. Wiped arma3 from my system including mods and had a fresh reinstall and that hasn't helped.
Any insight, tips or help would be greatly appreciated!
I assume you have restarted Arma since the 14th of October
Yes, older screenshot just to show the read only
Compare the accessed to modified dates. Generally Arma modifies the profiles every time you start/close it.
Apparently it is not doing that for some reason.
Profiling or stable branch?
Those are not my screenshots of the files, just to show that I had checked that. one moment ill get updated ones
Wait, why's it in Users/username/Onedrive
That's where my profiles are being saved
huh okay, ill see if I can change that. Seen that most of our detachment have the similar file path but ill see if that helps removing it from OneD
Here are my files just now ~
Oh damn ill check that out
But yeah like jordan said aswell you want to stay away from onedrive for anything arma related
@umbral narwhal I remember now yesterday I tried to update the default file path to C:\Users\Profile name\Documents
However this error would come up. Any insight?
Copy
If it's just ACE loadouts that are broken then that link will be it.
Alright ill try that link/ command line out now
I'm not sure what you mean by "update the default file path"
But then I'm also not sure how you end up with Arma profiles in the onedrive folder. I guess it's part of Windows getting increasingly abusive.
Suki you're a legend. Fixed
gotta love remembering random messages about fixes that i dont need 😅
Pretty much theres a button to remove it from one drive but that error comes up. It works so ill leave it in onedrive till it becomes a hassel. I would rather it not but it wont allow me to move the profile save path
dont post this
post the actual problem
@solid karma write the actual problem here
you are very unlikely to get anyone in PMs
my first time in here. hehe
thats alright. server works in the way that people just ask their questions and see if anyone knows any advice
Someone help why im getting super low fps in game (arma3)
do you use mods?
or custom laucnh parameters?
have you autodetected video settings?
whats your view distance?
what is "super low fps"?
i tried everything. i deleted my game redownload it again and unload my mods then i check the video options i had 10 fps only in game so i dont know whats wrong with my PC.
What is you hardware ?
What type of scenario do you play ?
@solid karma Unload all mods. Go to video options, set "overall quality" to "standard". Restart Arma. Go into the editor and spawn yourself on Altis somewhere. Then check your frame rates.
i wanted to play editor when im inside the game eveything is teleporting or whatever. i never had this issues before so i decided to asked you guys extra help. its really frustrating me 😦
do you play on PC?
or MAC/Linux
you will need to list your CPU and graphics card
and if you play on laptop
are you free right now? lets talk on voice and share you the problem on live screen
