Verification should take a while

sacred dragon
#

It said all 204 files validated

#

Verification?

pine kite
#

verification=validaiton

sacred dragon
#

Thats what it says

pine kite
#

Check if it put back that missions file you removed.

sacred dragon
#

I will soon.

pine kite
#

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.

sacred dragon
#

Now this

#

It says it cant find it

umbral narwhal
#

hmm, confirmed, steam verify doesn't replace that file.

#

Not sure whether that's Arma or Steam's fault.

sacred dragon
#

Well I just deleted that file.

#

As I was told

umbral narwhal
#

Yes.

sacred dragon
#

How do I fix it

umbral narwhal
#

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.

sacred dragon
#

Uninstall the whole ARMA?

#

Is the only way?

umbral narwhal
#

You could get someone to send you the PBO I guess. It's probably not allowed here though.

pine kite
#

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)

sacred dragon
#

And re download

pine kite
#

Uninstall through steam. Then remove what is left over in that local files folder.

sacred dragon
#

In browse files?

pine kite
#

Yes, the entire Arma 3 install folder.

sacred dragon
#

Ok.

#

I am now re-downloading it.

#

Once downloaded it should work or?

golden nova
#

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

sacred dragon
#

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
pine kite
#

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.

umbral narwhal
#

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.

sacred dragon
#

So there is nothing I can do about it?

umbral narwhal
#

Reinstall and hope.

#

It'll probably be a different corrupt file the second time around at least :P

sacred dragon
umbral narwhal
#

Have you played since the 2.14 update?

sacred dragon
#

I have 300 hours+

sacred dragon
umbral narwhal
#

Probably got corrupted there then.

sacred dragon
#

I have been on the launcher but not in the game

mint needle
#

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

delicate willow
#

Can anyone tell me why my realistic recoil mod isnt working

uncut trellis
#

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.

Yeah likely. You can disable it in Arma.

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

sacred dragon
#

__Thanks to everyone that helped me fix my glitch now my Arma works 🙏 __

delicate willow
#

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

slow hinge
#

I was able to remedy it for now and the tps is healthy now

delicate willow
#

I have insane FPS problems

#

and my pc is good

#

Server performance issues are better helped by other server admins in #server_admins or the server channels for the particular operating system.

ocean cosmos
#

for not servers theres a optimisation guide on the wiki

pine kite
#

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.

About arma not starting

#

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.

bronze river
#

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

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?

ocean cosmos
#

think you will have to reinstall

#

unless theres a launcher safe mode

#

which i vaguely recall but i couldve just made that up

median valve
ocean cosmos
#

think that may be for arma itself rather than launcher but go for it

median valve
#

no one like, ever goes in there lmao

#

i feel like it'll take longer to fix the issue

#

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

umbral narwhal
#

Might need to do a bit more than that.

delicate willow
#

why do my triggers ingame not work

#

Am I doing something wrong?

steady hawk
#

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

pine kite
#

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.

delicate willow
#

there is no error when reapeating 1 to 1 what youve just done and it worked but it now doesnt

vocal kiln
#

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

pine kite
#

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.

delicate willow
#

Deleting Arma

#

Arma won the fight against the FPS drops and it just sadly isnt fun playing with constant 30 FPS.

bronze river
#

that is why installing it on SSD is the best way

golden nova
#

there are people here playing in 15 FPS and enjoying it so it looks like it can be fun shrug

delicate willow
bronze river
#

lowering view range to just 1500 can also improve performance

delicate willow
#

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

delicate willow
bronze river
#

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.

delicate willow
#

I have everything on low and range on 800 and yet 28 fps as soon as I get close to enemys

bronze river
delicate willow
#

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

bronze river
#

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

golden vale
delicate willow
#

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

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

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

It's not the router's choice. ISP chooses whether to give you a real IPv4 or not.

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.

currently experiencing a "Steam API failure" on a server. Saw a post about CUP maps causing this issue.

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?

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

Duh, but give me an example then. I don't know the mod or whatever.

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.

vapid whale

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.

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.

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.

golden nova
#

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.

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.

https://youtu.be/2h6_PzH65OQ

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

#

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.

golden nova
#

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.

charred shale
#

Already checked the drive it's on just now, seems to be in order

woeful gust
#

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?

pliant dirge
#

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.

edgy reef
#

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.

steady hawk
#

If you have an error message, post it

edgy reef
#

No error

#

the game just refuses to load

#

when i try other mod presets it loads just fine

steady hawk
#

Any of it? Not even STATUS ACCESS VIOLATION?

edgy reef
#

nuh

#

we can hop in a vc and i can show you

steady hawk
#

Nah

edgy reef
#

do you think the mods are interfering with it?

steady hawk
#

If you mean it stuck in "Loading Addons" or something, have you waited enough?

edgy reef
#

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

steady hawk
#

Which OS you're on?

edgy reef
#

is os like 64 bit or 32 bit?

steady hawk
#

More of Windows or MacOS or Linux

edgy reef

steady hawk
#

Okay I guess 30 min is something weird and I want you to check the pinned to check to find the faulty Mod

edgy reef
#

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

steady hawk
#

HANG says it hangs up. You still need to check which is the faulty

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.

plain fern
#

I see I see

#

I'll upload it to the feedback tracker then

#

hopefully they can find the cause🙏

steady hawk
#

Just in case, you want to verify Windows as well

plain fern
#

as in the sfc /scannow?

steady hawk
#

Yeah. The error told you a part of Windows throws an error I assume

pine kite
#

Was part of the suggested solutions in that error code link

plain fern
#

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?

do I need to restart my pc after installation?

Better to restart

Crashed again

umbral narwhal

@plain fern Do you have any joysticks or gamepads plugged in?

plain fern
#

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

umbral narwhal
#

yeah maybe.

plain fern
#

should I try deleting it?

umbral narwhal
#

Yes.

plain fern
#

got it

#

nope

#

still crashed sadly

umbral narwhal
#

TrackIR or anything like that? Try disconnecting all non-essential USB devices?

plain fern
#

lemme try

#

nope, not it

#

still the same error

quaint jewel
#

Its your joystick.
The crash is inside windows dll's trying to talk to your joystick

plain fern
#

I don't have any joystick tho

#

could it be from the VitaPad program?

quaint jewel
#

If it adds a joystick, probably

plain fern
#

I'll try restarting my pc again as I just deleted the program

quaint jewel
#

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

plain fern
#

same crash

Hi guys!

i am a player from Arma 3

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?

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.

Can anyone help as to why enemies dont have a body and only show their helmets etc

steady hawk

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)

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.

umbral narwhal
#

ACE just had an update.

little tree
#

I am aware of that. Is there a mod I need to get rid of?

umbral narwhal
#

You might need to remove a dependency from the mission sqm.

little tree
#

I'll give it a try.

ocean cosmos
#

are you running rhsusaf

little tree
ocean cosmos
#

the compats were changed to use skipwhenmissingdependencies so if you previously used the rhs compat without rhsusaf it will cause that

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.

# tepid dust does anyone know how to fix this?

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

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!

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

distant ibex

when i click force load

with only ace

it still gives the error

There are a lot of them because it adds one per unit.

like pir

which was

2 days ago

#

Well yeah, updates of mods can break savegames. It is as it is.

distant ibex
#

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

pine kite
#

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

im 99% sure its just

if it did it never bugged anything out for me

#

ive had it for months

patent kettle
#

It does.

patent kettle
#

that mod contains ace 3.15

distant ibex
#

so do i delete

#

ace itself

patent kettle
#

ace is 3.16

distant ibex
#

or pir ace

patent kettle
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

distant ibex
#

which do i disable

#

lol

patent kettle
#

depends on which one you want to use

distant ibex
#

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_

umbral narwhal
#

ACE needs CBA.

distant ibex
#

i have cba enabled obv

#

can anyone else try loading into a mission

#

with ace

#

see if its buggin out

pine kite
#

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?

distant ibex
#

let me try loading into a normal game

pine kite
#

Ok, so trying to edit an existing Eden Editor scenario. (With then complaints about missing addonds)

distant ibex
#

i can get into eden editor

#

edit stuff

#

but i cant load in

and play

umbral narwhal
#

I thought scenarios always had a "load anyway" option.

distant ibex
#

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

umbral narwhal
#

Yeah your mods are still fucked.

distant ibex
umbral narwhal
#

Maybe you pasted something into the parameters command line ages ago.

distant ibex

as before

umbral narwhal
#

You're not using what you think you're using.

distant ibex
#

literally right when the ace update hit

#

i couldnt load in

umbral narwhal
#

Didn't you say this is with just CBA and ACE?

distant ibex
#

yeah in regards to ace mods

#

do u want me to disable

#

all my mods

#

except cba and ace

umbral narwhal
#

Yes? Otherwise we have no idea what you're loading.

distant ibex
#

ok wait

#

im slow

#

💀

#

k

umbral narwhal
#

Also go through the parameters in the launcher and check you have nothing in "command line".

pine kite
#

Messing around in the editor, especially with mods, is out of my comfort zone, so I am out helping.

umbral narwhal
#

Or "Mods" for that matter.

distant ibex
#

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

umbral narwhal
#

Actually yes, but you have to read the RPT for it.

pine kite
#

!rpt

rustic eagleBOT
#
Arma RPT

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

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

Note: RPT logs can hold personal information relevant to your system, the game or others.

umbral narwhal
#

Otherwise just use the binary search method. Enable about half your mods, test. Disable half of those, etc.

distant ibex
#

could it be

#

all the ace dependencies

#

because ace just updated

#

and they need to update to compat?

umbral narwhal
#

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.

distant ibex
#

ohh gotcha let me try

#

disabling pir

ocean cosmos
#

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. 🫡 😎

There's a whole repack of ACE in there somewhere. Maybe this one:

repacking other people's mods is a disease

distant ibex
#

APART from the fact that it requires

#

30 other mods

golden nova
#

it's a shit mod if it causes issues.

distant ibex

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

patent kettle
#

dependencies are better than repacking

#

I do not understand why it depends on CBA, yet it has repacked ace

distant ibex
#

because its a wip

#

he mightve done it by mistake

#

though idk how u could add

#

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?

quaint jewel
#

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

Update ACE and remove all the compat mods. They're built into ACE now.

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

steady hawk
#

Please tell us what exactly you're trying and what is the error

#

Like the pinned

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.

gilded nest
#

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

steady hawk
#

Basically what tom said. Mac is already updated into 2.14 so it is not a concern I think

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?

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?

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??

steady hawk
#

Define fix and which is the Mod and what is the error you have

daring jackal
#

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

steady hawk
#

(Most of) Compats for ACE is now integrated into ACE itself and no need to load extra Mods anymore

#

And that probably is why

daring jackal
#

but i dont have any compat mods that the problem

#

i already updated the ace mod

steady hawk
#

Then you may have a Modpack that overwrites it shamelessly

#

You may also want to check rpt

#

!rpt

Arma RPT

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

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

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

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

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..)

wise anchor
#

since the ace update, only headshots kill AI, I confirmed this by disabling medical and it worked. anyone else seeing this?

ocean patio
wise anchor
#

I also stripped them and they were still invincible

ocean patio
#

Oh... then I can't say

wise anchor
#

ok, thanks anyways

ocean patio
#

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've reinstalled ace three times)

You may have a faulty Mod that contains ACE

fringe salmon
#

I've been using the same playset for 5 months

steady hawk
#

It is not a concern

fringe salmon
steady hawk

It is easy to say you can unload the faulty Mod

time to scavenge through my 75 mods

#

good times

steady hawk
#

It is also easy to try the pinned solution

fringe salmon
#

Good idea

#

okay

#

you were right

#

its not an ace problem

#

some compat issue

thanks for the advice

i'll look into it now

Anyone finding issues getting on ARMA 3?

steady hawk
#

If you want to ask a question ask it

hearty snow
#

Like, is it hanging on the load screen for anyone else?

steady hawk
#

You want to tell us more info like pinned post so we can answer

hearty snow
#

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.

steady hawk
#

Splashscreen as in the fullscreen?

hearty snow
#

Yes.

steady hawk
#

Vanilla?

hearty snow
#

There is a littany of mods loaded. I will printscreen it in a moment.

steady hawk
#

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

hearty snow
#

I and five others have the mods loaded, three of the five are running into the same issue.

steady hawk
#

Five other people you mean? Then it is obviously a Mod's fault

hearty snow
#

Two of the five have no issue.

#

With the exact same mods loaded.

steady hawk
#

Ah sorry I misread what you said yeah, but still you want to make sure what can cause it

hearty snow
#

Roger.

steady hawk
#

If it is a Mod's issue, you can try the pinned steps. If it is not, do verify

#

!steamverify

rustic eagleBOT
#

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

hearty snow
#

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.

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)

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!

umbral narwhal

I assume you have restarted Arma since the 14th of October

sterile pollen
umbral narwhal
#

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?

sterile pollen
#

Those are not my screenshots of the files, just to show that I had checked that. one moment ill get updated ones

umbral narwhal
#

Wait, why's it in Users/username/Onedrive

sterile pollen
#

That's where my profiles are being saved

umbral narwhal
#

You'll need to stop it from doing that.

#

Arma does not get along with onedrive.

sterile pollen
#

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 ~

golden vale
#

Thought i had seen a simmilar issue to yours some time ago and found grims response

sterile pollen
#

Oh damn ill check that out

golden vale
#

But yeah like jordan said aswell you want to stay away from onedrive for anything arma related

sterile pollen
#

@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?

umbral narwhal
#

If it's just ACE loadouts that are broken then that link will be it.

sterile pollen
#

Alright ill try that link/ command line out now

umbral narwhal
#

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.
