[uncut trellis]

no I dont do that kind of tech support

I just ask questions

(in fact Im not any kind of techsupport but I do try to help when I can)

[solid karma]

i wanna tell you my kind of problem is but so hard to describe it. im not fluent in english

[uncut trellis]

sorry, text is the only way I can help

try to answer the questions asked above

[steady hawk]

Keep the logs in a searchable format is one reason to stick to text chat

Also your English is not bad enough, but if you need some extra words to describe your issue, some translator website could help

[copper tinsel]

Anyone know how to fix I have uninstalled and reinstalled, nothing is working.

@umbral narwhal ?

or is anyone knows.

[umbral narwhal]

Install both the x86 and x64 versions from here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/update-for-visual-c-2013-and-visual-c-redistributable-package-18d278e8-1c79-2630-e8ae-e9f4679b2393

[copper tinsel]

all of them the x86 and x64?

[umbral narwhal]

Just the ones for your language.

[copper tinsel]

Alright then it should work?

[umbral narwhal]

probably. It's a common issue with the vc2013 version installed by steam.

[copper tinsel]

After installed just start steam the arma?

try playing?

[umbral narwhal]

sure

[copper tinsel]

alright testing now

still not working

[umbral narwhal]

you did install both x64 and x86 versions?

[copper tinsel]

Yes

[umbral narwhal]

F indeed

[copper tinsel]

yeah i have no clue whats wrong man

no youtube video has helped or anything

[umbral narwhal]

This is the full troubleshooting, but I've never known any of the other points to be useful: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_Process_Exit#0xC0000135_-_STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND

[copper tinsel]

alright thanks i didnt really get anywhere with this a couple hours ago

but ill try

[winter jewel]

Can anyone help set up ALiVE on a server so that is saves the progress?

[winter jewel]

so war room is no longer available, what do i have to do to get the local save to work on my server?

[next zealot]

Hey A3 lovers got a question

can -language=<language> be used on dedicated server? i have tried it on dedi startup but it doesn't seem to work. Is it only startup for client?

[uncut trellis]

seems like it

[next zealot]

Sadsh, all good will just make a workaround thanks

[fierce moon]

i have a problem i can't use the ace menu with holding windows button

[raw topaz]

whenever i try load into a game an ace error pops up saying "file ace_hearing.pbo is outdated"

how do i fix it

ive already tried repairing ace and ace related mods in the launcher

ive tried verify my game files

[quaint jewel]

Might be a ACE bug, see their discord in #channel_invites_list

[orchid void]

i am consistently encountering this issue and have no idea what i am doing wrong;
When Copy&Pasting either a selection of things i placed ( see images) as well as placing compositions i made myself ( but not compositions added by CUP, for example), some of the things i placed float in mid-air, always.

[chrome current]

try paste-in-place instead, and move away after using the translation widget

[orchid void]

Paste in place? Paste on og position does the same issue.

[chrome current]

try toggling the 2 terrain/surface modes

[orchid void]

ugh. Toggling the first mode fixed it. That was embrassing.
Thank you.

[fierce moon]

what the fuck is this?

[ocean cosmos]

unload ace rhs ocmpat

[onyx hound]

has anyone experienced this bug, where after choosing a uniform, it automatically darkens the uniform, and when in virtual arsenal it also causes the virtual entities to turn black....

[copper tinsel]

Anyone know how to fix I have uninstalled and reinstalled, nothing is working.

Still having issues after installing 86x 64x

[distant ibex]

do you have that uh blood on any uniform mod

i remember that bugged out my uniforms

[distant ibex]

if i remember correctly it was a mod that would “fix” blood not appearing on clothing when shot

[onyx hound]

ah yeah i was running that i disabled it

thank you

[distant ibex]

ye always check the comments on the mod theres usually people complaining about bugs

[onyx hound]

Uniform Injury Effect

is the name of it

[pine kite]

32-bit or 64-bit versions of what? Your description of what you did is far from clear. Try the steps explained in https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_Process_Exit#0xC0000135_-_STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND If that doesn't help narrow it down, post the issue and the crashdump files to the Bohemia feedback tracker website. Maybe developers can tell what exactly goes wrong at that stage and which DLLs it is talking about.

[icy arch]

Hey guys,
When i am playing with my friends with NVGs and i point at an enemy with my IR laser to let my friends know, on their screen the IR laser is way off. Anyone know why?

[steady hawk]

Because the visual aim animation/direction is not shared precisely over MP

[icy arch]

Is there a way to make it better?

[steady hawk]

No

[fierce moon]

i need help my UPnP is enabled and i ticked the UPnP when hosting. Mission is fine. But for some reason my friends can't see or join the server. on my old router they could see the server but never make it past the loading screen. I've hear something about ipv4 and ipv6 and how arma doesn't work on ipv6 but i have no clue what's going on

[tulip solstice]

My installation of ARMA3 hangs up on startup after loading main menu with STATUS_APPLICATION_HANG error. Any tips identifying and fixing the issue?

[umbral narwhal]

Any mods?

[golden ice]

Google for the ports that have to be open. Then go to your Router and open them.

[ionic fern]

anyone know what causes this?

that first image pops up, I hit ok and then it crashes with "DEAD"

[steady hawk]

You don't have NIArms core or it's broken

[ionic fern]

so its NIArms core?

lemme check

I have it loaded

[steady hawk]

Try repair

[ionic fern]

repair?

bruh i didnt even know that was a thing i could do

[steady hawk]

Right click the Mod

[ionic fern]

i see it

ok i hit repair

could any of these other NIArms mods cause it

now my launcher keeps crashing

._

._.

[golden ice]

Unload all of them and try one by one

[ionic fern]

pain

its still doing it

i went though every Core mod

and repaired them all

perhaps ill just unload NIArms and anything that requires it

so

repairing all the NIArms mods didnt fix anything, but removing them did

aswell as every dependency

[steady hawk]

No need to one by one but half by half, check pinned

[boreal raven]

Would anyone be able to tell me how to properly install a scenario downloaded from github for use for local hosting?

I've downloaded the folder, placed it into C:\Users\name\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\Jack\mpmissions, then it shows up in the server creation screen as a scenario but with blue text, and when I double click it it does nothing

[storm temple]

So I have a problem with ace Arsenal. when i make a loudout in Ace Arsenal it won't save at all. it shows up when i save it and when i close and then go back on loadouts, it's just done. Arma 3 arsenal loadout works. Any tips on how i could fix it? i just reinstalled my pc and connected one of my storage units to steam and everything works well without Ace Arsenal.

[umbral narwhal]

@boreal raven If it's a PBO scenario then it has to go in mpmissions in the game folder (within the steam library)

@storm temple Have you got the latest ACE update?

There was a bug in the previous version where you have to set the ACE arsenal loadouts var manually on fresh profiles but surely they fixed that...

This is the fix anyway: #arma3_scenario message

[ocean cosmos]

was fixed in latest hotfix

[storm temple]

When i try with the Arsenal editor from main menu, does not work and it does not also work in multiplayer

[umbral narwhal]

Without more specific information about what scenario you're trying to run I can't help further.

[storm temple]

I can still make loadouts in vanilla Arsenal but not in Ace Arsenal which you can Get i to from the tutorial tab. Ace and Ace Arsenal is updated and all. This issue came only After i reinstalled my pc. @umbral narwhal

Could verifying game files help?

[umbral narwhal]

No.

Repair ACE, restart steam, repair ACE again.

It's a specific bug in the previous version of ACE so you've probably just missed the update.

[worn jungle]

Using ace arsenal extended?

[storm temple]

Yeah

Could it be that?

[worn jungle]

Yes. That may be, on their steam page is their own discord link ,if you want ask from devs of Arsenal extended. and from the discussion part is many questions about errors between mod and new ace updates.

[storm temple]

Thanks, gonna test it out

[storm temple]

did not work, could i not be the document folder?

[storm temple]

@worn jungle @umbral narwhal thanks for the help, managed to fix it by copying a .vars.arma3Profile and putting data in it. moved the file to where ace loadouts get saved. so it's fixed

[pine kite]

.vars.arma3profile .... "putting data in it"

That is one way to corrupt the file if you simply use a text editor. Bye-bye other data stored by mods and scenarios.

[storm temple]

It’s a loadout btw, so if it get’s corrupt, it’s not a big deal

[pine kite]

You are missing the point. Other scenarios and mods can save to that too. Play antistasi? Say bye to your progress.

[storm temple]

ah i get it, checked for the file and it's gone now somehow, but ace arsenal works, i play antistasi sometimes, but not local

Does anyone know how to trace back to what mod might be causing this error

[slow comet]

Either #arma3_troubleshooting message or go through each mod individually. I'd recommend starting with any mods that touch RHSUSAF.

[cunning willow]

what's the pixel thing in settings?

[golden nova]

huh?

[errant gulch]

Hey one of our members is having this issue, anyone know what mod is causing it? When he loves his mouse this appears. If you click it and move mouse again it appears again

[drifting quartz]

i have mods for custom jets like the F-14 and F-15 ETC but when I go into Zeus they aren't there, I have them enabled as well, anybody know how to fix this?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=537154025&searchtext=F-14 I have this dudes F-14 F-15 F-16 and F/A-18

and i also have all the required dependencies

[uncut trellis]

it is possible they are not set up to be used in zeus

[drifting quartz]

they are because my other friends can spawn them in with zeus

but for some reason I cant

[uncut trellis]

get on of your friends to send a zeus mission where they work so you can test that

[sacred python]

I've been messing around with the AA settings quite a bit and it seems no matter which of the 3 options I choose, my AA is still terrible. Fullscreen/windowed, I also wnat to ask, while I'm at it, does anyone know the name of an old NV control panel that used to be around or if it is still available, and secondly did or does it even work with arma/

[uncut trellis]

what does terrible AA mean?

and what is NV control panel?

[sacred python]

terrible AA, just that, jaggies. Seems like Arma settings have no effect.

NV control panel, well I tried to explain. It was a downloadable control panel that had presets for a number of titles and also had more options to push the GPU a bit more to get a better picture

maybe its obsolete

idk

[uncut trellis]

probably obsolete

maybe your gpu overrides arma settings though

[sacred python]

just seems strange after all these years, now I have jaggies and can't figure it out. Setting all to default, start over, Ha

[icy arch]

Hey

what is bad animation file error

cant start game

[sacred python]

outdated mod?

[umbral narwhal]

Some of those are Arma corruption. Would need screenshot to distinguish.

[pine kite]

There is some hatch-pattern in the image. Not sure what else Ratchet means with pixels.

[azure karma]

can someone help me with a audio problem i cant hear gunfire and other in depth things

[steady hawk]

What exactly is the situation? Please provide more than that like the pinned

[cyan cliff]

Hey guys I'm currently doing the mysterious cache mission and the weapon crates are missing? :(

[azure karma]

i cant hear weapons being fired and other things happening on the battlefield i tried to get a sound mod to help and still nothing

[steady hawk]

As I said, please provide more info. Like pinned

[cyan cliff]

Did I give enough info? I mean all I did was just play the mission. Got to the island with a speedboat, went over the trip mine and saw that the weapon and ammo crates just weren't there

[steady hawk]

I'm not talking about you

[cyan cliff]

Well do you know what's causing the bug tho?

[steady hawk]

I don't really recall mission specific thing

[cyan cliff]

😢

[topaz field]

hello can im having a huge shitty fps and wonder if somebody can look into my preset and tell what mods causes the problem

[steady hawk]

!rpt

[rustic eagle]

Arma RPT

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

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

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

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

[steady hawk]

Make sure the rpt is not spamming something

[drifting quartz]

i have mods for custom jets like the F-14 and F-15 ETC but when I go into Zeus they aren't there, I have them enabled as well, anybody know how to fix this?

[topaz field]

thank you so turns out i disabled
blood mods
insignia mods
and puting object quality to very low making the game running so well

[azure karma]

i dont really know how to explain it i just cant hear gunfire is the biggest thing

so i just dont know where im getting shot at from at some points

[steady hawk]

In case you still haven't read this, read this

[cyan cliff]

I went back to base then back to the objective and this time they were present so gg!

[charred shale]

Aight which log do yall need to tell me why my damn ass game drops to 1 FPS every three seconds with or without mods in game or main menu? I'm tired of it happening so I need to fix it.

[charred shale]

Sick where do you want it

[steady hawk]

Where? What do you mean?

Just here

[charred shale]

Sick

[steady hawk]

Hm it does have nothing

Retry without noLogs

[charred shale]

Aight

One sec

How long you want me to let the game run for

[steady hawk]

If you got the issue, that's enough?

[steady hawk]

Okay I don't see anything unusual

Have you tried to verify

[charred shale]

Yes

Twice

[steady hawk]

Are you sure this is not a hardware issue or something? What is the video settings also?

[charred shale]

My hardware is more than capable of run Ing Arma 3

[steady hawk]

I think you also wanted to make it sure that it is not a mission issue, I don't think that is a case if Main Menu also does it

[charred shale]

Yeah MM does it as well.

[charred shale]

Any ideas?

[winter karma]

@quaint jewel
I'm not sure if it's only us or not, but is there a bug which when more than 14 players gather within 300m, the VON is not functioning?

Seems like it gets broken when more than 14 players join same group, the group VON is also ruined.

https://imgur.com/haF60HS

I made a simple debug scriipt to check player's VON channel and when the bug happens, only few players fires direct voice but it lasts like a few frame so that no one cannot say over Direct/Global/Side channel when people gather together.
As I mentioned when group size exceed 14, Group voice also get bugged regardless of group member's distance with each other.

[granite cobalt]

Everytime I open zeus it looks like this, I can't click on anything

[uncut trellis]

start by testing without mods

then add mods in small groups to test when it breaks

[granite cobalt]

I found the problem :)

It was ace and zeus enhanced

I needed Zeus enhanced ace compat thingy

[novel whale]

After the latest Arma 3 and ace update we have run into a problem with mods failing signature check when running a mod whitelist.
This might be completely unrelated to ace, but all mods we have seen this with are somehow dependent on ace have become very widespread since the ace update.
I know this might be a coincidence.

Last night it was 6 of 20 users.

What happens:
On joining the server user will get the message
Session lost - Verifying PBO failed: mods\ [name]/addons/[file].pbo

This can happen for a lot of valid reasons, but we have people losing connection mid-mission, rejoining and then getting this error.

Our usual process for this:

• repair the mod.
• repair the mod on the server.
• unsub and resub.
• verify arma files
• deleting the mod files in the actual workshop folder (The one with numbers, not !workshop)

Users go through these steps several times, and sometimes they can suddenly connect, and for some, the problem persists. Then they play the mission and two days later the problem is back.

We looked in both the server rpt and the users, but we do not see anything that indicates what the problem is. Some users running with verify signatures enabled can pass signatures and still get bounced from the server, with others joining fine.

This week we have had the problem, first with "VSM - ace compat" and then 3 days later with "Project bluefor - Rearmed"
both mods have not been updated in a long time.

Ofc if we turn signature checking/whitelist off, people can join with no problems. but this really is not a permanent solution for us.

rpt's can be send on request

Does anyone have an idea on where we can start to troubleshoot this, we are running out of ideas?

[umbral narwhal]

@novel whale Any commonality with whether the problem users are running stable or perf/profile branch?

[novel whale]

we have not asked them that, the ones i can reach in the last 3 min, who have the problem are not on the profiling branch

server is not on profiling

[novel whale]

one more with the problem got back to me, they are on the profiling branch.
so no, oberved on both 😦

[umbral narwhal]

Try getting them to run the modlist locally with -checkSignatures (Check signatures in launcher parameters)

[novel whale]

we have, it parses, can provide the rpt 😅

[umbral narwhal]

How long is this modlist?

[cosmic hill]

about 110 mods. (I'm from same community as Windwalker and was one of the guys having the issue. And I run with -checkSignatures on).

[umbral narwhal]

jesus, how large is the protocol packet size...

Shouldn't this be smaller since the ACE update :P

[novel whale]

it is 😄

we are running steamProtocolMaxDataSize = 8192;

[umbral narwhal]

This might be near the limit given that the default 1500 is typically exceeded with 20 mods.

Although that normally hits everyone equally. Server sends everyone the same packet(s)

[novel whale]

thats our experience too

but i will try and bump it to see if it affect anything
we have run bigger modlists with this setting thou

[shrewd quartz]

I'm not able to see the trauma sustained with ACE now after the last update
Does anyone have the same issue?
Even after enabling it on the Medical GUI part of the addon options

[shrewd quartz]

Found the issue, Digi Chemical

[tropic hinge]

For some reason trying to toggle 2D scopes to 3D doesn't work for me right now. I hit the keybind but it doesn't properly switch. It plays a sound and shows a popup as if I am switching but it only "switches" back to the 2D scope

[azure karma]

https://medal.tv/games/arma-3/clips/1AQ1PskHoFEaOx/d13377FNd61j?invite=cr-MSw2QVAsMTk0MzEzMzAxLA i have been having trouble with sound i can hear some environmental things and all AI voices but i cant hear gun shots or anything combat wise or vehicles this clip is for sog prairie fire but the issue continues in other modes

[raw topaz]

anyone know what mod this would be a part of

[subtle orchid]

how long do we need to wait to fix the disconnect issue game crash, its been already long time (https://feedback.bistudio.com/T175273)

[steady hawk]

You need to say what it is and your question is vague enough

[subtle orchid]

https://feedback.bistudio.com/T175273

[golden nova]

as long as it's needed for it to be fixed

not to mention that your reports are not worth anything as you're "testing" the issue while running some shitty mods.

run vanilla on profiling branch, if it works then it's fixed, if it isn't then provide a proper report in #perf_prof_branch and use words to actually describe the issue.

[umbral narwhal]

Random game crash is usually hardware issues anyway.

oh, after yellow chain is less random.

[subtle orchid]

its already confirmed its not due to mods

[subtle orchid]

and let's not throw the whole mod list under the bus! Spill the tea, which one hurt you? 😄

[fringe salmon]

so i'm running arma 3 on my main monitor that has a resolution of 1920 x 1080p and i'm using arma 3 in fullscreen window mode and with an aspect ratio of 16:9 yet for some reason it has extremly large borders picture for reference (happens vanilla and with mods loaded)
i'v tried changing aspect ratio and resolution in fullscreen mode and i can get the borders to be removed in fullscreen mode but fullscreen mode is trash

[patent kettle]

try empty/new profile

[fringe salmon]

that fixes it would it be best to copy past profile.vars profile over and change name for same settings or would that keep the issue? also cant see an igui option to empty profile any idea how to do that?

[patent kettle]

you can just overwrite or remove the vars from the profile with issues

but you will loose things saved in it

[fringe salmon]

welp rip keybinds but i'll try

[patent kettle]

if it's the vars that's causing the issues

can you try going to X.Arma3Profile

and remove these:

fovTop=0.75;
fovLeft=1.7777778;
uiTopLeftX=0.34531251;
uiTopLeftY=0.22499999;
uiBottomRightX=0.65468752;
uiBottomRightY=0.77499998;
IGUIScale=0.55000001;

[fringe salmon]

done

fixed thanks

[sour jay]

Hi, as soon as i portforward, how long does it take for my server to show up in the server list usually?

[acoustic yacht]

When I launch Arma 3 from the launcher I manage to to only launch Buldozer . I have somehow corrupted the path . can anyone help me fix it please

[umbral narwhal]

Go through the launcher parameters, look for weird stuff

Buldozer is just starting A3 with -buldozer

[cyan tusk]

joined a server, heard peniewenies voice, said "hi penie" then got this.

anyone know if someone can just like make it so penie cant use the ban script on anyone he dislikes?

[steady hawk]

Not really sure which part is the biggest question.

1. Yes a script command can ban someone
2. If you're banned, you can try other server

[cyan tusk]

he does it whenever he joins a server though, so i could be in a server flying helis, he hears my voice, he runs the script, then i have to wait for full restart.

[steady hawk]

And what is the question then?

[cyan tusk]

how to fix the problem?

like is there a way to report him?

[steady hawk]

What problem? If this is not your server, there's nothing you or we can do

[cyan tusk]

its official servers, asked here because i assumed someone could help fix the problem of penie using the script to ban anyone he dislikes.

[steady hawk]

What official server? BI Official?

[cyan tusk]

yeah

BI Official Zeus USA 02 and 04

any that have scripts enabled

[steady hawk]

So you're saying an admin in an official server is abusing its power to ban someone for no reason?

[cyan tusk]

No, the admins ban is the kick off thing, its him running a script to do an actual ban.

peniewenie joins a server, uses a script, it bans people.

[steady hawk]

Not sure there's anything Dwarden can/would do. Try to report in #arma3_official_servers

[cyan tusk]

aight

[coarse compass]

i cant seem to zoom in and out(change FOV's) in splendid camera

i can see the FOV value changing yet it doesnt affect my camera

[steady hawk]

You may have a Mod or something that conflicting

[coarse compass]

any idea which mods could conflict with it?

would it be ace?

[steady hawk]

Dunno

Only you know which Mod you have. Make sure it works in vanilla so you know it is a Mod issue or not

[pine kite]

You have to have your server started first, otherwise Steam won't know it is there. But pretty instantly. It takes much longer to get the entire list of 5000-ish servers from Steam in the server browser internet tab.

Check the first/top pinned message in #server_admins for an URL to check if Steam knows about a server at a specific IPv4 address. You get an answer anyway, but how it is formated depends on if there is a server found or not.

[charred shale]

Would any of you happen to know if programs like Razer Cortex has ever been known to mess with Arma 3 FPS wise?

If nobody knows the answer that’s okay, figured I’d ask since the worst case is I get a “I don’t know that answer”

[pine kite]

If someone mentioned it here al you need to do is a search.

Or on the Steam discussions/reddit/whatever.

[charred shale]

It would appear the answer is no

Thanks friend

[sour jay]

I got the message "{"response":{"success":true,"servers":[]}}" Is this positive or negative?

[umbral narwhal]

That means there are no known servers at the address you provided.

Visible server looks like this:

{"response":{"success":true,"servers":[{"addr":"x.x.x.x:2303","gmsindex":-1,"steamid":"nnnnnnnnnnnnnn","appid":107410,"gamedir":"Arma3","region":-1,"secure":false,"lan":false,"gameport":2302,"specport":0}]}}

[sour jay]

It says that now.

But it's still not in the server list tho.

Were having a double convo tho, so just move to #arma3_questions.

[signal mist]

hey guys, out of a sudden I've been having issues with ArmA 3. Basically when I load up the game it loads until it reaches the <ArmA 3>> logo with the black static background, then at that point it won't do anything. I left it for an hour to load and nothing would happen. I tried disabling mods but that does not change a thing. I tried verifying files and neither does any effect. I have good hardware and never ran into this issue before. It just started happening out of a sudden. I swear, I didn't do anything like changing parameters, it just started happening

[quaint jewel]

Project Opfor

[steady hawk]

Check if you have any startup parameters that can be set in Arma 3 Launcher

[signal mist]

I don't, the only startup parameter I have is "skip intro on startup" which I enabled after having this issue to see if it changed something

[steady hawk]

Then please post RPT

!rpt

[signal mist]

I will ASAP

this is the latest RPT I have

[steady hawk]

You're trying to connect to a server?

[signal mist]

nope

I am just trying to load the game

[steady hawk]

But the startup parameter says so

[signal mist]

oh right

it does

didn't notice

that's the only startup parameter I have

I don't know for how many time I've been having that

let me remove it and startup

wait maybe I know what happened

I clicked on connect on a server displayed on an arma 3 server list

and it opened up the launcher

so maybe that's when it added that startup parameter

just removed it, let me check now

[signal mist]

removing that parameter solved the issue. Thank you very much!!!

[viscid remnant]

yo

[steady hawk]

Did not work how?

[viscid remnant]

like

i tried the first process of going into steam and doing that stuff

then i tried launching arma and still it didnt work

[steady hawk]

As I said didn't work how? Just “it did not alter any error, it just keep hppening”

[viscid remnant]

it just was the same as beforeù

[steady hawk]

Then remove addons\signs_f.pbo and re-verify

[viscid remnant]

and how do i do that

[steady hawk]

Go to Arma 3 folder, delete that file

[twin hare]

Hello all
Do you know how to deactivate the functionality which after 200 m hides the AI under the ground to simulate grass?

[steady hawk]

No

[twin hare]

I didn't have this problem 1 week ago

[steady hawk]

It's been two decades after this was introduced

Maybe you can adjust Terrain Video settings

[viscid remnant]

im kinda stupid with finding folders

where can i exactly find the arma 3 one

i opened it from steam iuf thats good

[steady hawk]

Right click Arma 3 on Steam > Manage > Browse local files

[viscid remnant]

oh alright

[twin hare]

No that's not it

[steady hawk]

What is not what?

[viscid remnant]

i deleted the file now how do i re verify

[steady hawk]

Just verify

[uncut trellis]

Same steam verify as before

[viscid remnant]

oh alright

[uncut trellis]

That is normal Arma visual

[viscid remnant]

ok i did it

ima see if it starts up

it doesnt

now a different thing pop upsù

[steady hawk]

Okay, troubleshooting 101: Do NOT skip/abbreviate the error message if you want a help

[twin hare]

No, I didn't have this problem a little while ago.

[viscid remnant]

Warning: preNLOD format in object a3\plants_f\tree\t_populusn3s_f.p3d

[steady hawk]

Do the same for plants_f.pbo

[brave hawk]

it has always been there and there never was any option to deactivate it 😬
it may eventually depend on the surface on which the units are, but that's it

[twin hare]

i have 3.125 grid

the bots when he lies down are in the ground, I don't know what game you're playing on, but on Exile it shouldn't happen.
And that wasn't the case, until 2 weeks... I really don't understand why

[steady hawk]

it may eventually depend on the surface on which the units are, but that's it

[viscid remnant]

works now thanks bro

[steady hawk]

Basically the sinking into a ground is a feature since two decades ago. You may have a Mod that disables it

[uncut trellis]

There is no way to disable it

[steady hawk]

I thought CfgSurfaces could do that? 🤔

[uncut trellis]

Well maybe through there but that's not very universal method

Would have to do that custom for each map that uses it's own surfaces

[twin hare]

Where ?

[steady hawk]

Technically speaking and there is nothing really a concern for you

[viscid remnant]

why does arma hate me

[lime sphinx]

don't delete a3.bikey from the server's "keys" folder

[viscid remnant]

i only deleted 2 files

[lime sphinx]

then don't delete them

[viscid remnant]

then i wont be able to play

[steady hawk]

Are you sure you've done verify again

[viscid remnant]

ima try doing it again

175 files have been convalidated

[twin hare]

? ❤️

[steady hawk]

?

[twin hare]

have you made a config for this?

[steady hawk]

No

[twin hare]

ok

[viscid remnant]

idk bro

[mossy wave]

how do i fix this

only happens in the ace arsenal

[ocean cosmos]

update ace and ace arsenal extended

and/or stop using repacks of it

[mossy wave]

my ace is updated tho

[ocean cosmos]

refer to second message

[bronze river]

people still use repack/modpack nowadays? why

bet most of them are broken because of recent ACE update anyway

[tulip goblet]

I'm having issues using Radeon Super Resolution in Arma 3, whenever I launch it pops up saying it's inactive.
My driver overlay isn't opening in game either, anyone else having issues with RSR in Arma?

[tulip goblet]

Nvm, figured it out, ingame resolution needs to be lower than native.

[mossy wave]

I used the genuine ace and it still didn’t work though

[ocean cosmos]

just ace and cba

[mossy wave]

Alr I’ll try thanks

So basically most of the aceax stuff are broken?

[steady hawk]

KJW does not said so. You may have a illegally-repacked ACE that is outdated aka modpack

[ocean cosmos]

repacks of ace are permitted as per the license but its just a pain in the ass

just like what is happening here

[mossy wave]

but like I’ve said I used the genuine ace and it still didn’t work

[steady hawk]

"But"? Doesn't really make sense, make sure you ONLY use legit ACE and CBA

[mossy wave]

I am bro

[steady hawk]

Then repair both ACE and CBA

[mossy wave]

How do I do that

[ocean cosmos]

!steamverify

[rustic eagle]

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.

[mossy wave]

Ah Alr thanks lads

[mossy wave]

i repaired both mods and its still broken for some reason

[hidden heath]

hey does anyone else have a issue with steam friends showing that they arent playing even tho they are in a joinable server?
this is a issue i have had off and on for months
i have tried everything
uninstalling mods. reinstalling the game
i have had no luck
but its also random
so i can join friends sometimes but then i cant

it sucks cause i know if i knew how to fix it i would play more arma

[bronze river]

if they set their steam to offline they will not show on friend tab

[hidden heath]

no but they are online

and have set up hosting privately and it does work

but it just doesnt show up

its so strange

and i have been trying to solve it for months

[stone sigil]

[ERROR] 7 SteamLayer: Null context. Initialization failed
What is that? (arma3publisher.steam.rpt)

Everything has been uploaded, but apparently the publisher is not getting anywhere now.

[drifting quartz]

when everybody tries joining me it says on their end "Connection Failed"
how the hell do I fix this shit?

[opaque marsh]

I'm having a similar issue where publisher won't let me update my workshop content. But am getting Error 8 - STEAMAPI.DLL TODO

[mossy wave]

@ocean cosmos would you like to see the rpt log

[ocean cosmos]

no

someone else might

Hi there I need help with Arma 3 networking since I can't you my friends server.

[sand fractal]

Hey
I have bit of a problem with my GUI. It's hanging off from the screen. (See picture, top left corner)
Its not just that side, I have a mod for water and food too that's supposed to be in the bottom right corner.
I have a 16:10 screen, its set up correctly in the settings

[pine kite]

Ask the creator of that mod if it is compatible with that aspect-ratio.

FYI, I don't see any GUI in that screenshot. Not even partially.

[sand fractal]

Top left. You can see the vanilla communication or whaterver menu.

[pine kite]

Oh right, good camouflage. 🙂

[drifting quartz]

anybody know how to fix this?

[umbral narwhal]

@drifting quartz Do you have full access to your router setup?

[drifting quartz]

yeah?

[umbral narwhal]

Ok now you just need to learn network engineering :P

But the first thing to do is go into the router config and find your WAN IP. Check that it's the same as your publically visible IPv4 ("what's my IP" in a search engine).

[vague nova]

How do I fix bloodlust flashing

The blood just flashes

It dissapears and reappears very fast

[uncut trellis]

if its a bug in the mod then you have to talk to the author. if its bug caused by other mods you have then you need to figure out what mod is the problem and remove it

[empty shuttle]

Hello, not sure if this is the right place to post it. I cant find out how to create my own TeamSpeak for others to use in Arma Milsim. Can anyone help me figure out how to make a serever?

[ionic fern]

can someone translate these error codes

i followed a tutorial

his worked, mine didnt

[uncut trellis]

some data is not fed in correct place to some part of the ALIVE system

beuyond that it would likely require someone form ALIVE team to explain

[ionic fern]

pain

personally starting to think the map isnt supported

"no locations found" even though the modules are in a village of buildings

im guessing its unsupported

[uncut trellis]

quite possible

[ionic fern]

imma try to redo the whol entire

friggin

thing

on a map that i know is supported

:]

[hushed depot]

i couldnt find a help channel so ill ask here. Have you ever played Ravage arma 3 mod. me and my buddy absolutely love the mod and we took a break for a few months and now we are trying to play it again but we are getting a bunch of errors from the mod. we did a clean install, verified game files, and tried everything we could. Has anyone else using this mod had this problem?

[steady hawk]

getting a bunch of errors from the mod
Define what it is

[hushed depot]

the error says virtual ai squad no longer exists

its not a seperate mod and we are using all the same mods we did the last time we played

[steady hawk]

all the same mods we did the last time we played
This does not ensure the preset has no issue, since any Mods can be updated anytime and can change anything

Check pinned to see which is the faulty Mod

[hushed depot]

how do i check the pinned?

[hushed depot]

its either the Ravage mod its self of the CBA_A3 mod its dependent on to run

[steady hawk]

Are you sure? You only ran Ravage and CBA?

[hushed depot]

Yes

[steady hawk]

Then repair both Ravage and CBA maybe

[hushed depot]

we unsubscribed and resubscribed before but i just clicked the repair button for them so im trying again right now

[steady hawk]

Also just to make it sure, post what exactly is the error

[hushed depot]

"Bad vehicle type VirtualAISquad"

thats whats showing up now

its different than before

[steady hawk]

Then it is a missing Mod or some sort

[hushed depot]

we've searched dependent mods and checked the steam workshop and nothing is there

[steady hawk]

You may need to consider restart the mission I guess

[hushed depot]

we are restarting everything already

we werent trying to keep anything from last time

im having a different issue than my buddy is. he usually hosts and hes the one getting the errors and when i try to host the mission doesn't even come up for me to start.

[lime sphinx]

💀

[hushed depot]

whats that

NVM my buddy just remade the mod and it works now. Thank you guys for the help

[heady crater]

Is anyone here familiar with Port Forwarding in Arma 3?
I managed to do port forwarding on my local router but family members are complaining that my pc is sucking up all the internet. We have decent internet but this issue only happens when I boot up Arma 3 even when playing singleplayer.
Any help?

[pine kite]

I don't know how port forwarding can cause the connection to clog up for other devices in your network. Especially if you are not playing online. But make sure you only port forward UDP protocol portrange 2302-2306.

[heady crater]

I made sure

@odd river #linux_mac_branch

[twin pier]

im a hdd player

and my game loads in 30 seconds as opposed to my dads ssd which loads same mods in 6 minutes

help

[odd river]

ok, but i need an answer, i havn't more played arma for like 6 month

[uncut trellis]

we cant really help with how hardware performances if that is what you are looking for

[uncut trellis]

answer to what?

[odd river]

i wrote my problem in #linux_mac_branch

[uncut trellis]

Alr. Just be patient with it. Everyone helping here is a volunteer doing it on their free time.

[odd river]

okok, no problem.

[plush night]

I can't change my name and it isn't the default profile

Changing the other profile name works but this one I need since it has all the missions, loadouts, etc. for my unit.

[steady hawk]

You can just copy n paste old profile to new one

[plush night]

Tried it and it didn't work

[steady hawk]

Then you've done something wrong. What have you done?

[plush night]

I just copied and pasted all the files inside the profile folder

I tried to rename the Arma3Profile files as well and that didn't work out exactly

Some stuff transferred over but not everything

[steady hawk]

How about Other Profiles folder?

[plush night]

Yes

Let me try again

I'll create a new profile in the game itself and transfer the files again

[steady hawk]

The game is maybe very slow

[plush night]

I think the profile is working now

It is

I mustve done something wrong before but oh well

[reef crater]

literally no option to connect to drone/open uav terminal?

i've made sure that i have correct terminals that correspond to each faction

every fix ive seen posted doesnt work for me, not sure if it's because of mods but idk why a mod wouldnt allow for use of drones

[steady hawk]

1. Which mission?
2. What Mods you have?

[reef crater]

not a mission, it's zeus, could that be why

[steady hawk]

It still is a mission

Is that a pre-made mission or you just made the mission?

[reef crater]

i made it

[steady hawk]

Via Eden?

[reef crater]

yes

[steady hawk]

And what exactly is the situation? You've placed the drone in Zeus and you cannot connect?

[reef crater]

yes, ive placed drone, i have all necessary items to operate said drone, correct terminal, correct side, etc however i dont get the option to connect to drone or open uav menu in scroll button menu

and when i try to open the uav terminal via ctrl alt, it opens for a split second then closes

[steady hawk]

1. Which drone?
2. Does the drone has the AI? (aka empty or not)
3. Are you sure your unit's side and the drone's side is the same?

Also, make sure if it is somewhat a Mod's issue or game's

[reef crater]

do you think i should try it with no mods first?

[steady hawk]

Always

[reef crater]

just tried with no mods

same issue

no option to connect to drone or to open uav terminal

[steady hawk]

Then I think you have two possible issues:

1. You're misunderstanding how an UAV works
2. Your game is somehow corrupted

[reef crater]

i should be able to connect to a uav via the scroll button wheel, correct?

when the uav terminal for the correct side is possessed?

i will validate files because according to all youtube tutorials im doing everything how they are

[steady hawk]

1. Which unit and side/faction you are?
2. Which drone?
3. Are you 100% sure you have the UAV terminal?

[reef crater]

nato, ar-2 (i believe thats the name), and yes

correct operator and everything

[steady hawk]

So basically this is your screen right now?

[reef crater]

mhm

[steady hawk]

Did you placed the drone as a Blue not Yellow?

[reef crater]

mhm

[steady hawk]

I take those as yes

[reef crater]

yes

[steady hawk]

Do you have Open UAV Terminal action regardless you have an UAV or not?

[reef crater]

no

[steady hawk]

Is your terminal UAV Terminal [NATO]?

[reef crater]

yes

[steady hawk]

Can you share the rpt?

Hi sorry to disturb but since 2 month i got some flickering popping object in Zeus...

When i lunch a mission with a module Zeus, the game work fine... After pressing Y to go in zeus it's fine but After flying above 2 meter around... Distant objects are popping FPS drop heavily...

• How is your video settings?
• Are you sure it is Arma 3 specific issue (aka not hardware issue?)

[rancid edge]

my video settings are in high. i have a good pc I5 12XXX and RTX 2070 and all my other games are fine

[fringe eagle]

yo guys

what do i do if the tires on vehicles just dont move

it doesnt drive

im not sure if its a mod or its a thing in the game

[steady hawk]

Explain precisely. What is not working? What you expect? What have you done?

[fringe eagle]

ok so

ive added a modpack from a server

[steady hawk]

Okay firstly you should to test in vanilla whatever your issue is

[fringe eagle]

ok

[fringe eagle]

in vanilla it works

[steady hawk]

Then it is one of your Mod's fault, whatever your issue is

[icy arch]

Why cant i see plp containers in editor?

[pine kite]

plp containers? what are those?

[icy arch]

yes, the mod

[pine kite]

This one I guess then: https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=504690333 Maybe you need to get into some menu of the Eden editor to make it include that mod. (as in use that mod, not make it built-in)

Select the yellow props icon (clover-like symbol), then if nothing shows up in the list (it should), select the mod through the little pulldown icon next to the search box.

[golden nova]

also try vanilla with just this one mod first, perhaps you have something in your mod preset that breaks the PLP stuff.

[icy arch]

I did

Plp material shows up

[bronze river]

almost thought this was a zomboid screenshot

[grim pasture]

anyone know what this is Addon 'CUP_Afghan_Data' requires addon 'CA_E'

Hello there. I have issue with server lag and searching for solution. Problem is only when playing on our unit server (located in EU) and I am also in EU. Soldiers and vehicles are rubberbanding/warping like hell when I am on server. My internet is good enough and also server is ok. I have no idea what to do. Was told that it could be client problem.
I dont have any problems playing other multiplayer games (even newer than Arma). Like I said my internet speed is not the issue. It is fast.
Unit server is modded, using Spearhaed DLC and like 80 mods.
I googled warping/rubberbanding in Arma but to no avail.

[umbral narwhal]

Have you actually confirmed that it's only you with a problem? Like you asked everyone else on the server and they said it was fine?

[bronze bronze]

yes, no one having this issue, all have same mods

[umbral narwhal]

And you're not using a VPN?

[bronze bronze]

no

[umbral narwhal]

Have you ever edited your basic.cfg?

[bronze bronze]

I think not....but now I cannot even find it lol

only arma3.cfg in Documents folder

[umbral narwhal]

Apparently that's the default. It doesn't have any of the network settings in there unless you add them though.

[tranquil quartz]

Hello All, I have been struggling for months, years even, trying to get UPNP or port forwarding to work on a game I am hosting for my friends and I. I verified through my ISP that the ports are open and that they are not blocking any traffic. I have looked at many forums to find a solution and so far nothing worked. I am not sure if there is something else I am missing or maybe should try a different route. I am just trying to launch a lobby from the in game multiplayer menu. I want to avoid using 3rd party programs like Hamachi for us to play together. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[umbral narwhal]

Port forwarding is just difficult for rookies to get right.

[graceful lodge]

Hey I'm having trouble launching Arma it say my cloud file fails or something and then just crashes

i have screen shots but it wont let me post them

[umbral narwhal]

Remove onedrive.

[graceful lodge]

I did

didn't do anything

[umbral narwhal]

That just means you failed :P

Other option would be to set the Arma profile folder to a location that definitely isn't onedrive.

[graceful lodge]

ok

thanks

[restive flax]

Hey There I got a problem with Ace on a Dedicated Server its constantly overwriting the Admin Options to Disable Certain things like combat Deafness it is instantly set back to what it was before. in the RPT File i found this which is quite confusing. "[CBA] (settings) WARNING: Value false is invalid for setting ace_hearing_enableCombatDeafness."

[tranquil quartz]

Is there a suggestion you have that might be causing the interference?

[umbral narwhal]

No, the trouble is that there's a lot of interface variation so unless you've done a lot of them you'll probably get it wrong.

Also variation in how routers hand out DHCP addresses.

[tranquil quartz]

Where would be the best place to look up some of those issues?

[tulip sigil]

Having issues with ImageToPAA

the demensions are correct

[umbral narwhal]

maybe its a jpg2000 or something?

(not everything can read all jpegs)

[tulip sigil]

Right

[umbral narwhal]

Try converting to one of the other formats.

[tulip sigil]

It doesn't seem like a jpg2000

since it's not ultra high quality

got it

[uncut trellis]

for textures use png or tga

and use correct texture suffixes before converting

[burnt dew]

hey folks, i have difficulties installing the TFAR plugin using the TS v.5 Beta... any advise?

[ocean cosmos]

ts5 does not support plugins like tfar

use ts3

[graceful lodge]

I've Uninstalled onedrive and moved the game to a whole different drive still won't launch

[umbral narwhal]

Doesn't matter, the profile will still be in the same place unless you tell it specifically to put it elsewhere.

Go to parameters in the launcher, find "Profile folder".

[graceful lodge]

ok

You convinced them to give you a real IP?

Yeah I guess so

Hello, I am lookinjg for help with my game. Modded yes, Clean install done. Can launch into the server on, get past the first laoding screen, pick my slot on the server in my squad, then the next loading screen the game freezes.

[fringe salmon]

A little more info re @pastel mural and his post above. he's trying to connect to a server we rent. the server is modded and while I know that mods can cause issues i do not think that the mods are the issue in this instance as myself and several other players are all able to join the server without issue. the issue does not take the form of a error or crash but an endless loading screen and i am not well versed enough on the AMRA 3 client to be able to assist with further diagnostics. any help would be appreciated.

any help would be great as atm he's unable to join any of our events and I am all outta ideas.

[fringe salmon]

@steady hawk hey man any idears on this or who might know? also thanks for your help re build ive made an appointment to speak to my IT guy to lock in my order later this week

check rpt for what the game launches with

it is possibly your friend has installed mods into the game files so that they always run (not gut)

or they have set up commandline launch parameters for mods (for some weird reason)

[vernal scaffold]

we did check his files but thx for mentioning the parameters, I actually forgot about those

[uncut trellis]

those 2 are the common reasons why mods might launch by accident

[vernal scaffold]

well

nothing

ah yeah, going more in depth with the problem on it's own, he currently doesn't have any mod installed

and yet those mods show up for some reason

[vernal scaffold]

we checked this one out now even, and nothing was solved anyways

[uncut trellis]

Well check the rpt log to see where those files are coming from

And what the startup parameters are.

[vernal scaffold]

as for params, he didn't mess with it

so he basicly has files that don't even exist anywhere in his 'mod tab'

[uncut trellis]

best to post the full rtp

you can use pastebin or sqfbin and link it here

[vernal scaffold]

[umbral narwhal]

In launcher parameters, check "Mods" and "Command Line"

Or just hit "restore defaults" at the top. Not like anyone does anything sensible with them anyway.

[umbral narwhal]

Are you running verifySignatures?

[vernal scaffold]

did those too

same persist

tried cleaning, verifying files, delete them even, all still persist for my friend

[pine kite]

Well, this doesn't add up. Either you are looking in the wrong place for those mod references in supposedly command line locations or ....well there is no point in you lying. So double check and show the proof of what you looked at.

[umbral narwhal]

It's "helping a friend" stuff though. Lots of extra layers for misunderstanding and screwups.

[pine kite]

Yeah, I don't get it either why there is always a man in the middle.

[vernal scaffold]

🤷‍♂️ I am just trying to help my mate that's it

[vernal scaffold]

and i don't see why i would be lying but alright

[umbral narwhal]

For what it's worth, every time this has come up before it's been Mods or Command Line in the launcher params.

[vernal scaffold]

👌 , i will try to double/triple check and see whatever i can do

for the guy

[pine kite]

Me neither. That's what I wrote. It makes no sense if you did. But I wouldn't know how else those mods could be loaded but the commandline options in the launcher or custom shortcuts or batchfiles.

[vernal scaffold]

I will have to probably take a look into his PC later then

[ornate leaf]

Is that normal that this message still appears in the logs, even tho I put in to the server cfg class AdvancedOptions{LogObjectNotFound = false;};

[fringe salmon]

nope already disabled that server side to allow use of some music mods.

[umbral narwhal]

You have no guarantee that your users are running what they say (or think) they're running then. Check the RPTs.

[fringe salmon]

server side you mean?? or do i need to get the player to sent me their local logs?

[umbral narwhal]

You need to get the player to send you their local logs.

This is basically why people use verifySignatures :P

[fringe salmon]

sigh alright great ill get that done today and if i cant make sense of it ill post it for a for translation. itll be in the appdata/arma folder right?

[fringe salmon]

yeah i feel you we ran into issues with several mods not having certificates eg music mods and some mods that added weapons and the like.

cheers for the input @umbral narwhal is it okay if i tag you if i end up posting the logs if i cant make sense of them?

[umbral narwhal]

sure, but I'd need the server one as well to compare. Also if you're running a lot of mods then it's just painful to do.

Like >30

[fringe salmon]

yeah werer well over that 115 at last count finding assets to suit to tastes of each of my player groups is a bit of a pain. what i cant understand if why only one of the players is having this issue and the others are fine.

[noble palm]

Can't see the server and get this error

11:53:24 Warning Message: Addon 'O_usArmy_wdl' requires addon 'gm_worlds_weferlingen_summer_cfg'

[sullen rune]

I can't get the greyhawk to connect to the uav terminal

[fringe salmon]

is there a mod i can speak to about an issue with another discord member?

[steady hawk]

Yes?

If you prefer to open the issue, #discord_server , if not, DM one of us

[fringe salmon]

@umbral narwhal got my players rpt files will send the ones from yesterday hes now having a new issue just opening the game but that results in a crash reporter opening so i am hoping i can figure that one out. will send the modpack and then his rpt and then the latest rpt from the server.

big modapck but none of my other players are having any issues like his.

any input would be welcome

[pine kite]

By the number of lines of mods in the table a bit down from the top I count 128 mods in the client list, vs. 125 in the server table.

[pine kite]

And 115 vs 112 if you cull the lines for Arma 3 itself and it's DLCs.

I suggest you search through those tables yourself and isolate which the client loads extra. Before you give John a brain hemerage digging through the hundred or so mods and billions of warnings and error messages.

and since other players joining that server don't have issues, compare their RPT logfile (and the 2nd table in it) with this troublesome client RPT.

[fringe salmon]

any chance that clearing out his mods folder and reinstalling the modpack might fix it? i aint gonna lie those rpt files are a maze to me and seeing i have medical appointments all of tomorrow and our next event is the day after im wondering if that might offer a time saving solution.

[pine kite]

Just scroll down until you find the second table. The first one is at the top. Ignore everything else that you don't understand the meaning of. The table should mostly explain itself.

Clearing his mod folder won't do anything, as Steam/the launcher will re-download anything that is missing but is subscribed to. Somehow he is loading more mods than the server does. That could explain his issues.

[sullen rune]

My settings options dissapeared, I click configure and theres nothing other then ace head fix or wtv, anyone know what mod could've done this?

[golden nova]

probably a mod

Does anyone know how I can make an AI stay in one position and stay standing?

[sour jay]

Why does MPMissionsCache not exist for me?

[steady hawk]

• You maybe looking at wrong folder
• You maybe doesn't played MP so far
  Why it does matter whatsoever?

[sour jay]

I'm trying to put a mission i made in the editor into my FTP mpmissions folder.

My .pbo file i had earlier keeps spamming "Error loading mission" in chat so i dont know.

I changed the mission name in server.cfg aswell.

So i'm not sure where im going wrong.

[steady hawk]

Well this is how you should ask your initial question... having MPMissionsCache doesn't tell what is your actual issue after all

[sour jay]

A video told me to drag the .pbo file im getting from there into my mpmissions folder in my ftp.

[steady hawk]

I don't really know where you got official.uzbin

[sour jay]

That's the mission i made in the editor, i called it that.

[fringe salmon]

Hello, i need help with this and i dont know which mod to delete or to update

[uncut trellis]

👍

[sour jay]

You think you could help me with the problem above?

[uncut trellis]

sorry dont have any clue about that

[fringe salmon]

I already have that

[sour jay]

Try to update it. Go into ur arma launcher and then the mods tab. There you should be able to update it also.

[ocean cosmos]

the "curator" mod has to get unloaded

it tells you in the error message

[fringe salmon]

I dont have that mod, i even searched it and it didnt show up

[fringe salmon]

Will it say “updated” if it needs a update

[ocean cosmos]

search for curator.pbo with file explorer

yes it will

[fringe salmon]

Which one do i delete?

[ocean cosmos]

none of them

it will just be curator.pbo most likely

[fringe salmon]

Weird, i dont see it

[ocean cosmos]

then refer here

[fringe salmon]

Mk, will it also be useful if i send you my mod list?

Just so i dont delete my other harmless mods when one is causing all the problems, you know?

[patent kettle]

Check your RPT for the PBOs it complains about

It's quite likely you somehow have duplicate copy of ace in curator dlc folder

[fringe salmon]

I recently download sam’s immersion mod, could this bug be from that mod?

I dont know much about arma modding, am kinda new

[ocean cosmos]

probably given thats just a repack

[fringe salmon]

any fix to cba breaking my zeus? 😭

[steady hawk]

How exactly you've made the PBO?

[fringe salmon]

I found a clue maybe

So i checked the files that the bug listed so i looked it up and theres 2 of them

These are the dates

Nope, 3 actually

3 ace_particles.fbo files

Do i delete the older ones?

[steady hawk]

Where did you got ace_particles?

[fringe salmon]

Sam’s immersion mod

Assuming

[steady hawk]

Assuming?

[fringe salmon]

Yes it was sam’s immersion mod

My bad

[steady hawk]

I really don't know what Sam's immersion you say, but I'd say it is very sus and bad to load

[fringe salmon]

Maybe cause i now get this error

[steady hawk]

Cause of what?

[fringe salmon]

No clue anymore

[steady hawk]

Cause of what I ask you again? I'm not asking what is the actual issue but what you've done

[fringe salmon]

All i did was download sam’s immersion mod, it wasnt in the workshop but in nexus mods and it required me to drag and drop and addons folder

[steady hawk]

Okay that's how to open the gate of the hell, just don't and remove it

[fringe salmon]

Shit, alright

[fringe salmon]

Theres only suppose to be one of those files right?

Just making sure

[steady hawk]

What is suppose to what?

[fringe salmon]

Ace_particles.pbo

[steady hawk]

And is what?

[fringe salmon]

Is it just suppose to be one file,

Because theres 3 of the same one

[steady hawk]

Yeah it is a file?

It doesn't do anything to Arma 3 if you don't load

If you ask me, I'll explain why this is bad

[fringe salmon]

Explain just so i can be careful next time

[steady hawk]

MOST LIKELY, the immersion Mod you told, can't say it is the faulty for sure, because we don't know what it is, but, MOST LIKELY, it is a repacked Mod from of bunch of Mods - which means, it can be very outdated unless the "author" updates it. Which is very pointless

And it also can overwrite the existed and "proper dated/officially published" Mod, which can cause such outdated issue

[fringe salmon]

I figured, removed the mod thank you

[fringe salmon]

alright i wear i aint meaning to be stupid but i must be missing something when i open the rpt report this is all i get. do i need anopther exe to open them or im i just blinder then i thought? i scrolled down there aint anthing below that just blank space

[steady hawk]

Make sure you have no -noLogs

[fringe salmon]

cheers

gonna hva eot buy you a beer for all this help mate

wait a secon just discovered a new rabit hole in the parameters it menionts cpu the popup has me stuck the default on mine is one which makes sense if its talking about cpu as a whole but can i confirm if this is cpu or rather cpu cores???

[steady hawk]

It does not really do a magical FPS improvement

[fringe salmon]

sad cry

[steady hawk]

If it does everyone says so

[fringe salmon]

arma is arma after all

[steady hawk]

No more in Arma Reforger

It is more of Real Virtuality issue

[fringe salmon]

fair enough on the topic of reforger ive heard its the tech demo for what they;ll apply in amra 4 which if true means it shuould look great but is there a marked improvment in preformance?

[steady hawk]

I am not going to say yes or no

Because everything is unconfirmed

[fringe salmon]

also now ive set no logs to be ticked ill have to get me player to try join again and then sent the generated rpt to me correct?

[fringe salmon]

https://tenor.com/view/trying-not-to-laugh-holding-back-a-laugh-sure-okay-yeah-gif-6398092109038538495

[steady hawk]

Not to tick it

And the reason why No Logs is there is because it can spam your harddrive so it can slow down the entire game

So unticking No Logs is basically generate full log

[fringe salmon]

alirght cheeers with youn now

dumb dumb moments realises ive been looking at the server rpts all this time not my players...

fuck i wasted way to long on that lol

alright this looks more like a expected.

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-burning-hell-pain-gif-17379863

hold up... brain just sparked up for a second.

how to i get the rpt files from the server with the errors when i cant access the servers launcher via the rental servers remote admin tool?

[steady hawk]

Ask the server hoster

[fringe salmon]

sounds like a need to open a ticket with them and get them to change that setting for me

ow bugger no chance i am getting Dingo into the event tomorrow then

alright question and yes similar to my earlier question if my player unsubscribed from all workshop mods then cleared his mod folder and then did a fresh install of both the game and mods could that work to fix this? thinking is if its a mismatch of mods then if i unsubs and does a fress install then no mods then i can send him a link to the pack and he can install just the mods in the pack?

[steady hawk]

Not loading the Mod == does nothing for the game. Uninstalling do the same essentially

And uh, I should've re-check your context

[fringe salmon]

alight well illl let him know he wont be able to play tomorrow by the looks of it. sorry for the dumb questions

[steady hawk]

Nobody said it is

[fringe salmon]

no but i certainly feel dumb not being able to sort this out for my own player

fuck these rpt docs are giant is there any thoughts on where to start currently reading over the list of mods and chekcing each off from the modpack and installed list on the server.

[steady hawk]

Throw it here

[fringe salmon]

thats the modpack

im also checknig against the servers config files to check if there are mistaches in the install of mods on the server

[steady hawk]

Okay just wanted to make it sure - what exactly is the issue?

[fringe salmon]

streamline servers are great but their steam workshop portal... well it makes me cry at times

[fringe salmon]

hes able to launch the game or was up untill last night (ill deal with getting his game to open as he said it has an error code for that) but the issue was when he would join the server and enter the password he would get to the role selection screen and then select his roles then it would open a laoding screen and that would get stuck there no freezing or crashing up endless loading screen. from my end as zeus i woud see the notice he was joining and then that he had connected and then he would be listed in the scoreboard and appear in the left panel but he would be purple denoted unconcious and his "body" typicall a dead body wearing loadouts that where not allowed on the server woud be in a random location.

sometimes hhis body would not even appear in game only his marker in the left zeus panel and in the scorboard. occasionally he woud then loose connection but most of the times he would just sit there endlessly till he backed out of the server.

from my pov it wasnt saying he had any issues so i first thought it was a net issue but tbh hes got the best net of our group (the joys of being an Aussie) and if it was net issue why would it let him join the server only to stonewall him on a loadingscreen.

anyway brb in a few mins.

[steady hawk]

Make sure it is a server issue or client's, have he ever done to try to connect another server than yours?

[fringe salmon]

@pastel mural can yo try joining a random server mate you'll need to make a mod free playset.

brb

[steady hawk]

Preferably an official server

[sour jay]

Both exporting and PBO manager.

[steady hawk]

Both
Why and what do you mean by “both”?
exporting
In Eden?
PBO manager
You really shouldn't, especially if you're using very old version of it

[sour jay]

I’m using the newest version, and i’m not sure out of my head exactly how but in the editor, u can export it or play it as mp or whatever and you’ll get a pbo file somewhere in ur files, im not exactly sure where.

[steady hawk]

Scenario > Export > Export to Multiplayer?

[sour jay]

Yes i’m pretty sure.

[steady hawk]

It SHOULD be the way

[sour jay]

But where would the file be?

Cause i don’t have a MPMissionsCache in my local app data arma folder.

That’s where youtube told me i’d be.

[steady hawk]

Steam\common\Arma 3\MPMissions

[sour jay]

I mean, i’ve tried that tho.

And it keeps spamming error loading mission in chat.

I think it’s something in my server.cfg but i don’t know what.

[steady hawk]

How do you run your server?

[sour jay]

Through a host.

Game server.

[steady hawk]

Do you mean Main Menu > Multiplayer > Server Browser > Host Server?

[sour jay]

Nono, just an actual game server i bought.

I have access to the ftp etc.

[steady hawk]

Not really sure what service you bought... but how does the folders look?

[sour jay]

I mean, like every other arms 3 game server. I have to drag the .pbo file in filezilla from my pc to their mpmissions folder.

Then id to be to the class mission in the server.cfg and change the name of the mission to my mission so it shows up on the left mission panel if that makes sense.

But when i start the server then, it just spams error loading mission.

[steady hawk]

Then let's try to verify that it is a mission issue or something in your server's. Make an empty mission, export, put the PBO into your server, launch with it

[sour jay]

Its a mission issue, since this works fine.

[sour jay]

I kind of found the issue. I tried to add an infantry role that arma has itself and that worked. Then i tried to put a infantry role from a mod in and it did the same error.

So i guess it has something to do with the mods. Do i maybe have to put all the mods im using into the server files or?

[steady hawk]

What do you mean by an infantry role?

[sour jay]

Just a playable character.

Just place it down, select playable, export multiplayer, put it in the server and it works.

But if its a character from a mod it doesnt work.

[steady hawk]

If it is an asset (aka an unit) from a Mod, everyone must have them to load properly

[sour jay]

I know, that's okay.

But i have them loaded and it still doesn't work.

And do u know by any chance, if i save the loadout of an asset and i select it in multiplayer, it removes the backpack? It doesnt like save it.

Nevermind, fixed it.

[steady hawk]

What it was?

[sour jay]

Nono, the error is still there.

Fixed the loadout bug.

[sour jay]

Do you think i should do this?

Like, drag all the mods im using into here?

I do have this as an option in my control panel.

[pine kite]

Make the folder if it doesn't exist. If the server you are using the FTP to doesn't allow you because of permissions, then complain to the company that rents the server to you. I don't know why that folder isn't there to begin with on dedicated servers, but it is a fact.

[sour jay]

The folder isn't the issue anymore.

We found the problem, and its that i cannot seem to get the mission with mods to start on the server..

[pine kite]

Yeah, that is extremely short. Either you did have that -noLogs commandline parameter activated, or the game crashed, which you would have noticed. So must be the commandline parameter being active.

[pine kite]

Cut the table from the RPT file as text. Paste it into another text file and import it into Excel or whatever spreadsheet you use. Often it has a way of detecting where to divide up the lines to get the columns sorted out. After that looks like a properly aligned table again then sort the rows/lines. Do thise for the table in both RPT files. Then it is easier to check off a mod that you confirmed is loaded on both sides.

But yeah, that is the reason why you don't just want to throw a bucketload of mods on a pile and hope it works for all. More mods = more work. And if the server has verifySignatures=2 (and the .bikey files of all mods in it's keys folder) then it would tell the joining player which mods/class names it doesn't make sense of and refuses you to continue to login. But that requires all mods to be signed (correctly) to work.

[sour jay]

I'm pretty sure i found it. You can upload the modlist.html to ur directory folder and in my control panel u can full in a name that you are wanting to use, so in this case modlist.html. I start the server, and it starts downloading them and putting them in my directory folder.

[pine kite]

What is the actual terrain name that this is playing on? What mod provides it? Scenario names (in PBO form), need to be in the format: yourcustomscenarioname.terrainname.pbo (the template= there in the screenshot should be without .pbo at the end.)

[sour jay]

Uzbin is the map.

Its a .pbo file, it just doesn't show the file type in the name itself it is a pbo file.

Or you mean in the mpmissions folder?

[pine kite]

Ok, just some people neglect to save their custom scenario without the terrainname part of the filename. And then the server/game doesn't know what it is for.

[sour jay]

Yea i know, but no, uzbin is the terrain in that name.

I might have it fixed tho, its installing the mods.

I'll let you know.

[sour jay]

Yes, its working.

probably player addEventHandler ["HandleRating", {0}]

but that wouldn't be anything to do with the mod. That's just disabling Arma's friendly fire -> enemy logic.

[fresh meteor]

Hi I have an issue, my friend have a dedicated server up and we're playing Antistasi
previously I've been able to join smoothly without any issue
but starting today, my side is acting weird

the server is up and there's 2 people playing in it, both of them are friends on Steam, but when I look up through the friends tab on the server browser, the server doesnt show up

I tried to join by inputing the IP and password through the ingame server and clicking the join button does exactly nothing

then I tried the direct connection through the launcher, I input the IP, port, password
the game does launch, however it feels like its taking a time longer than usual to actually load inside the game
almost as if it is stuck (the Arma III logo when its loading)

are there any solution to this?

[umbral narwhal]

Depends. There are a lot of different things that can go wrong.

Only the person running the server can do anything anyway.

[fresh meteor]

so no solution?

[steady hawk]

There are a lot of different things that can go wrong.
This means there is no one and only solution for such situation

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”

[fresh meteor]

What
Ok but lets say if its actually problem from my side
Can you maybe say all the probabilities of what is causing the problem from maybe similarish issues from the past?

[umbral narwhal]

First I would ask you if you're using UPNP or port forwarding

[fresh meteor]

im not trying to host a server
im simply trying to join one
the server is a dedicated server or rented

Im checking the router setting, port forwarding is disabled

I couldn't find any that mentions upnp

[umbral narwhal]

Oh, if other remote players can connect to the server then it's something else anyway.

Make sure you're not using a VPN. Restart the router and windows.

I have a Problem with this crashcode

C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at FC9BF5DD

The problem is that it just kicks me out of the game after 5 minutes to 1 hour. I looked in many forums, watched videos about it and even the help from Bohemia support didn't help, maybe you can help me with that

[umbral narwhal]

Steam verify Arma. If that doesn't help then you could try sending the crash dump (.mdmp file) to dedmen, although if it's a random time / random situation crash then that's often a hardware fault.

[dense pecan]

i send the crash dump

Hello, my friend is trying to join our server and is getting disconnected without any error message getting displayed. Anyone know why?

tell your friend to keep trying, sometimes it does that

Hi! I just moved my ArmA files and my workshop files to a new hard drive, and now all my mods say they're uninstalled. Any help?

[icy arch]

What is the error from rpt "Secondary layer not supported here" anyone know?

[steady hawk]

How did you moved your Mods?

[marble fiber]

I copied my workshop folder from one drive to the other

But the !Workshop folder in the Arma directory is now empty - I wonder if that's the issue?

[steady hawk]

Sounds like what you've done is just move the folders

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Steam#Move_Arma_3_Workshop_Items
This is how you should do

[marble fiber]

I've deleted the source folder though

[steady hawk]

I don't know what source folder you mean

[marble fiber]

Like

I moved the workshop folder from one drive to another

So there is no "source" folder that the tutorial says

", where:
target is the original 107410 location, e.g C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\107410
source is the actual data directory, e.g E:\NewArma3WorkshopDirectory"

[steady hawk]

¯_(ツ)_/¯ If you've deleted the workshop\content\107410 you have no way than reinstall them all

[marble fiber]

I haven't

I moved it

[steady hawk]

What?

[marble fiber]

I moved the 107410 folder to a new drive

With arma on the same drive

But the !Workshop folder is empty

[steady hawk]

Well then, how about to just follow the tutorial?

[marble fiber]

The tutorial says to copy something from the source folder

[steady hawk]

It does not say something

[marble fiber]

I think I'm miscommunicating

[steady hawk]

It DOES say

2. Copy the 107410 directory to its new location (e.g E:\NewArma3WorkshopDirectory)

[marble fiber]

Right, so I need to move my mods off of the current drive?

[steady hawk]

I don't know what is current drive you mean here

[marble fiber]

I moved arma AND the 107410 folders to a new drive

[steady hawk]

Wait

You've moved Arma 3 folder as well?

[marble fiber]

Yes, they're both on the same drive

[steady hawk]

Moving Steam game is not done by manual step but Steam should handle

[marble fiber]

So what should i do?

The folder is already moved

[steady hawk]

It's very hard to help you here if you don't share the entire situation right now

[marble fiber]

I've tried to explain it all

I moved arma and the 107410 folder to a new drive, I verified my files etc, no problems. But the launcher says my mods are not installed

But I manually moved the folders

[steady hawk]

That's the issue

[marble fiber]

So i'll need to reinstall the mods?

[steady hawk]

If you still have source you say in your hard drive(s), you may no need to reinstall from internet/Steam Workshop but do the right thing

[marble fiber]

How do i “do the right thing “

[steady hawk]

I really don't know, where is the Mods folder right now or where do you want to move, any info is lacking so far

[marble fiber]

I told you, the mods folder is in the workshop folder of the drive arma is on

I do not want to move it anywhere

I want arma to recognise the mods as installed
