[graceful lodge]

I hit Play and it loads for a second then says "(0x0000016A) The Cloud file Provider is not running" I hit ok and it loads a little and then says it crashed Exit code 0x000DEAD-

[steady hawk]

Well then it is most likely because you enabled OneDrive

Have you restarted your computer after you disable

[graceful lodge]

I even deleted onedrive

[graceful lodge]

I have

[steady hawk]

I have never heard of a case that disabling OD doesn't fix that

Make sure you've disabled that

[graceful lodge]

I disabled it and then when that didn't work i just uninstalled it

[violet pumice]

Having an issue where trying to launch arma with mods doesn't load the mods properly. Sometimes it will load mods that aren't selected, or it won't load any mods at all and the only "mod" that appears is a generic "Arma" mod.

When having a similar issue in the past, where mods I didn't have selected were being loaded, it was because some mods got "stuck" in my mods and parameter files settings in the launcher, but both of them are clear.

Upon checking the parameters using wmic process where "name='arma3_x64.exe'" get commandline | clip, I found that not only are extra mods being added, but the -mods parameter is being cut off.

I've tried just setting the mods and parameter settings in the launcher to just 1 to see if maybe trying to overwrite those values would resolve some of the issues but they did not.

I can tell from some of the mods being loaded, that it's trying to use some of the parameters I use for developing mods with HEMTT, as it's launching with some developement parameters and mods.

[violet pumice]

The issue happens whenever I launch arma through the command line (.bat files, HEMTT, etc.) instead of the launcher

[uncut trellis]

do you have mods added to steam commandline?

you can also see what the game starts with on the RPT log file

!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.

[uncut trellis]

afaik theres 2 ways mods can slip in. They are manually saved into the games on files ie arma 3\addons or one of the other vanilla pbo folders

or one of the commandlines have them starting

[steady hawk]

Honestly the first one is not a case if the game detects a "Mod"

Random PBO within addons will not be detected as a Mod, no?

[uncut trellis]

hmm that is probably correct

good point

[violet pumice]

Nothing in the steam launch options either

[violet pumice]

Just vanilla addons in Arma 3\Addons, didn't see anything in any of the others.

I did notice that hemtt added a folder with the developer versions of my mod(s), but given that other mods are also being loaded I don't think that's the sole cause

[umbral narwhal]

RPT is your friend anyway

[violet pumice]

As in for checking where they're loading from?
I already know where they are, just the steam workshop folder (steamapps\workshop\content\107410\workshopID), but I haven't been able to figure out why

[umbral narwhal]

Yeah, just paste the RPT.

It'll tell you exactly where each addon is loading from if you read it closely.

[hushed gulch]

what is this hud thats showing all people? idk how but I accidentaly turned it on

[steady hawk]

It's called High Command. I don't recall what keybind right now, you can check the keybinds

[hushed gulch]

Tysm

[bronze river]

Should be numpad .

[steady hawk]

Guess you wanted to ping him instead

[bronze river]

Ah right

Mobile discord pain

Oh high command, its ctrl + space

[pine kite]

If the -mod= command is being cutt off then it is likely that there are spaces in the foldernames somewhere. Encapsulate the entire -mod= string with "double quotes".

[violet pumice]

It's occuring when I launch the game through the launcher, I have no control over it

[worldly mantle]

Anyone know why in aircraft and tanks my weapon hud display on the top right is no longer showing?

[uncut trellis]

got mods?

[stuck stratus]

is it a must to have UPNP enabled when hosting a server? at uni and cant change settings, port forwarding isnt possible

[ocean cosmos]

you wont be able to local host on uni wifi

[stuck stratus]

meaning i cant host a server for friends to join?

[umbral narwhal]

There's no NAT hole punching. You either need working port-forwarding, working UPNP or a working VLAN.

[stuck stratus]

vlan?

[umbral narwhal]

virtual LAN. Like a private VPN.

[stuck stratus]

ah alr

[umbral narwhal]

zerotier or hamachi are common methods.

But they often don't work for various reasons.

[worldly mantle]

yeah, a few but not many. Only just happened and not added anything so could be an update. Will track through them 😦

[pine kite]

Very likely your university blocks certain ports. At the very least ask them in what way you can do port forwarding for UDP ports 2302-2306 in their network.

But you are probably better of getting those virtual lans working, or rent a cheap server and share the cost.

[primal orchid]

I need help. My arma 3 launcher isn't working. Every time I launch, it said corrupted configuration and I don't know what to do

[umbral narwhal]

Delete the arma3launcher.exe.config file from the Arma program folder.

It doesn't contain anything important and it'll rebuild it if it's missing.

[primal orchid]

I did, same problem

[umbral narwhal]

You failed. Possibly windows quietly blocked you.

[primal orchid]

How?

[primal orchid]

I fucked up. I tried undo the windows update but it just reset the whole pc. Now I need to take it to geek squad to fix it

[fallow remnant]

Have people been able to make Arma 3 work correctly with variable refresh rates? On my 165 Hz monitor with gsync, the game seems to force the monitor to 60Hz even with vsync off in game. Not sure what's going on.

[fallow remnant]

So it seems this only happens when A3 is full-screen. In borderless windowed it's fine.

Which is fine by me, since I use the latter usually.

[alpine jungle]

hey guys, can someone help me out? I'm getting some graphics artifacts on ArmA 3 which I've assumed is because of mods. However, I've been removing mods and cannot seem to isolate the problem.

The artifacts in question often manifest as blue squares or simply transparent squares. Just hoping someone has ideas.

https://imgur.com/a/YUKVJWH

[steady hawk]

Are you sure this is not a mission specific issue?

[alpine jungle]

I'm getting this error on Tanoa and the CUP modded terrains

Also, running ALIVE and ACE3

It's interesting as my friends are getting the same artifacts

[steady hawk]

Not sure if it does answer my question

[alpine jungle]

I mean, I'm getting it over multiple missions. So yes, I think it isn't a mission specific issue.

[steady hawk]

I've been removing mods
What does this mean then? Vanilla or “minimum” Mods?

[alpine jungle]

It could be an ALIVE mod issue, since all those missions are running alive modules, but I've not seen any complaints otherwise

[alpine jungle]

I'm running ACE3 and ALIVE + CUP

[steady hawk]

Remove all and try to check if it does

Also

!rpt

[rustic eagle]

[steady hawk]

Please post this

[alpine jungle]

Okay. Waiting for the game to finish validating files and gonna try to test again

My problem right now is that I feel like I don't have a consistent way to replicate the issue.

It just seems to occur ocassionally when under fire

[uncut trellis]

most likely some sort of mod issue

[agile swallow]

May someone please help me, On my dedicated server, after dying a couple of times, almost equal to the amount of roles in the server the respawns run out, is there anyway to fix this? thank you.

[marble fiber]

Hi! I have an issue, I can constantly hear my character making loud breathing / panting sounds and don't know how to get rid of it?

[pine kite]

Don't load to much stuff on you. Don't get hurt. Don't run too much.

[marble fiber]

I'm literally stood still

[pine kite]

What are you carrying on you?

[marble fiber]

Nothing, I'm playing as a Zeus unit

[pine kite]

And what sort of mods are you using for it.

[marble fiber]

I have about 300 lol, I'm using the same mods as I previously used on my old PC and never had this issue until I reinstalled them on my new one

[pine kite]

🤷‍♂️ 300 is too much to keep track of issues. Mods can affect stamina. Updates can change how mods work out. Too many variables this way.

If you load a rocket launcher on your back, carry a machine gun, have loads of ammo on you, then you are likely overloaded to begin with. Lack of stamina takes it's effects immediately.

[marble fiber]

I have absolutely nothing, I'm a zeus unit..

[pine kite]

Zeus can mindcontrol a unit. Unit still has it's stuff on it.

[marble fiber]

While I'm not controlling anyone I mean

[pine kite]

No clue then.

[agile swallow]

update on my issue the whole spawn disappears after dying quite a few times

[violet pumice]

If you never found the cause for you're issue, you're probably using https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2129532219 or https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=825172265.

Actually I don't think that first one adds breathing sounds, not at my pc to confirm.

[ocean cosmos]

immerse doesnt

[violet pumice]

Hm, I'll have to double check what mod(s) I know add breathing. Could've sworn is was immerse though.

[mellow mesa]

Project SFX 100% adds breathing, which can be disabled in addon settings

[violet pumice]

Having an issue where the Arma 3 Publisher tends to just get stuck on "Publishing content to Steam Workshop". The mod is seemingly published fine, given that there is a new workshop item for it and looks correct when downloaded.

[ocean cosmos]

known issue happens all the time

is just a cosmetic thing

[hasty knoll]

i have problem with error 0xc000007b can anyone help me out

[pine kite]

This may help (if you get it with Arma 3) https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_Process_Exit#0xC000007B_-_STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT

[hasty knoll]

yes i have the problem with arma 3

didnt work

i guess the game is broken and trash asf

[pine kite]

Nope, if others play it fine, then it's not broken. Something you did, or your system did, or happened randomly on your system made it fail.

Verify the game throuhg Steam, reinstall that Visual C++ Reditibutable for 2013, reinstal DirectX. Something always works. Restart your system. Then something allways starts to work.

[hasty knoll]

i reinstalled DirectX and i tried lot of other things and nothing didnt happe

[hasty knoll]

i tried all of them non of them didnt work

[violet pumice]

Just making sure I wasn't missing something, thanks

[hasty knoll]

I even fixed all my files and it still won’t work

Same error

[hasty knoll]

Idk anymore what I should try

[marble fiber]

@violet pumice @mellow mesa Thankyou so much, disabling the coughing in the sfx mod fixed it!!

[violet pumice]

👍

[worldly mantle]

Anyone have issues with AA specialists not firing manpads? AI only seem to target aircraft when i take out a MANPAD. Otherwise they just watch it

[uncut trellis]

got mods?

that sounds like it might be a mod issue

[dark grail]

For some reason this is my main menu (using the SOG PF default menu mod) - and the multiplayer button doesnt work so I cant launch a server to play with my friends. Whats going on here?

[uncut trellis]

try verify your game files on steam

!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.

[uncut trellis]

and then try the DLC without the mod

or any mods.

[dark grail]

well I know the DLC works without the mod, but I want to run PF to use its modules

[uncut trellis]

use them where?

[dark grail]

In the mission editor.

[uncut trellis]

you can access the editor in the sogpf menu too

its under singleplayer

[dark grail]

Yes i know. But I am doing some modern stuff with my group and dont want us to go through PF menu screen, however I still want to launch the PF Mod so that I can use the modules when mission making, which is where the mod comes in to play.

[uncut trellis]

now that I think about it the menu mod is obsolte and the option to turn off the menu has been incorporated into the dlc under options

[dark grail]

Oh awesome - thank you

[zenith plume]

does anyone know what causes this problem with names being too large for dui squad radar? https://imgur.com/a/JxvgnBW

[dark grail]

My friend is having trouble finding my server in the browser tonight for some reason - so were going to try direct connect via ip. Where can I find the exact IP to send him?

[umbral narwhal]

google "what's my IP". It won't work though.

[drifting oracle]

so i have this problem here where whenever i try to join this specific server with direct connect, the role assignment screen is blank. notice how the OK button is highlighted as if i have a role selected, in which i do not since i can't get a role in the first place. when i do press it, i am stuck on "Receiving mission file: 0kb/0kb" until i get automatically kicked for inactivity. furthermore, i can join other servers completely fine, roles appear INSTANTANEOUSLY for them (official servers, a 2nd server from this group of people, karmakut, friend-hosted servers).

no clue what's causing this. this has been a month-long struggle and the group of people i'm with have run out of ideas.

[umbral narwhal]

When you say "2nd server from this group of people", what are the similarities and differences between them?

[drifting oracle]

one uses less mods

for reference the first server uses 190 mods and 3 CDLCs
2nd server uses 180 mods and the same 3 CDLCs

[hasty knoll]

Is there anyway how to fix this?

[steady hawk]

When this happens?

[hasty knoll]

When I try to play the game

[steady hawk]

Okay post more info like pinned post

[hasty knoll]

It load up nicely server and as soon as the game opens it then there is the error

[steady hawk]

Okay please re-read what I said and follow. Please provide MORE info

Anyone able to Help with https://github.com/acemod/ACE3/issues/9656

[nova elm]

Try the ACE discord: https://discord.gg/FVkgwggNcZ

[worldly mantle]

Yeah but I stripped them all and still have the issue 😦 maybe I need to remove DLC?

[steady hawk]

You cannot really remove DLCs, unless you meant Optional (Creator) DLCs

[pine kite]

Doesn't it have settings for font size or something in the Addon Settings for it?

[worldly mantle]

yeah i meant CDLC's. Doing some playing around with the mods now.

[worldly mantle]

weird, seems to be intermittent but orbat created units don't seem to fire using there AA weapons even though there is ammo

[uncut trellis]

Do you mean AI in your squad or AI just alone?

Best to explain how you try to use them in detail

[worldly mantle]

Both in squad and alone. When i switched on Orbat override it seems to work find. Must be a config error causing it.

[uncut trellis]

Possibly yes

[wheat ginkgo]

hello everyone! so my friend is facing a problem. Yesterday we where playing a Liberation RX scenario and when he was operating a BMP, he pressed some key possibly, or a combination, and he muted every sound thats in game, when in-vehicle. when he exits, he can still hear everything, but whenever hes in a vehicle (be it air/ground/sea) theres no sound, nothing. Is that a mod confliction? is it a super secret keybind? i dont have that issue, same mods, same scenario. (if anyone has a solution, please @ me)

[pine kite]

Just curious, but why is your friend not posting about this issue himself? Man-in-the-middle conversations never work out well.

[wheat ginkgo]

true, was hoping that it'd be an easy "hey, try this" fix, and that it wouldnt require him to join the server, etc. not that its a hustle, but you get me.

[umbral narwhal]

IIRC Liberation has some built-in situational volume control in the UI but I wouldn't know about the keybinds.

You could at least check whether he has the same issue in a different scenario.

[pine kite]

Is that even a saved setting? Does it reproduce when rejoining/reconnecting to the server? I am unaware of any vanila mechanic about this. So best list any mods you are using, otherwise it is guessing-game to narrow this down.

[inland goblet]

My friends can't see my game I turn on upnp and the ports are allowed in the router we all use the same mods we tried base game too no luck any solutions?

[pine kite]

Don't use UPnP together with manually port forwarding in your router. It conflicts.

Mods have nothing to do with it. It's either:

• your portforwarding wasn't done correctly. UDP protocol port range 2302-2306 to your serving computer IPv4 address locally.
• your firewall doesn't allow packets for Arma 3 through those same ports, or at all.
• your ISP provides you an internet connection type that prevents you succesfully portforwarding Carriergrade-NAT. (likely the public IPv4 address that your router thinks it has (WAN/internet address) is different from what IPv4 address whatsmyip.org gives you when you visit it.)

Make sure he searches the name you gave to your server in the Internet tab of the Launcher's serverbrowser.

[steady idol]

how do you login as admin on your server (Non Port forwarded)

and how do you change the map

nvm were good

[pine kite]

If you localhost from within the game then you are the admin.

If it is a dedicated server you just join. And use the chat menu to write #login youradminpassword. Which would be configured in the server config file. Or alternatively you can specify your SteamID64 number in the same file with the line admins[] = { "<UID>" };
Then you only need to write in chat #login https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Server_Config_File

[molten vapor]

anyone know why when i launch any type of map even base game maps i crash?

[steady hawk]

Please provide more info like the pinned post

[dusky niche]

got this flickering on chenarus redux, what seem to be the problem and how can i fix it?

[uncut trellis]

Could be the mods and stuff you run

Or most likely is.

[dusky niche]

i've tried launching without any mods and load that map

still the same problem

[uncut trellis]

How about reshade?

[dusky niche]

nope no reshade

could it be something on the graphics settings?

[uncut trellis]

Could be. Atoc might be bugging

[dusky niche]

atoc?

[uncut trellis]

Treee/grass shading thing

Could also be bug in gpu driver

Try if it also happens on livonia

Since those trees are likely from there

[dusky niche]

alright

ill try it out thanks

[dusky niche]

Shot the tree and the flicker disappeared?

[pine kite]

Who knew lead posioning was actually a cure.

[steady hawk]

People who's legal age to drink alchools

Actually, it is better to unload EVERY Mods except the crucial ones to check if there is a faulty Mod

[dusky niche]

haha this game has it janks

[dusky niche]

ight

[dusky niche]

nope, still happens

[steady hawk]

What is your current Mods?

[dusky niche]

Cup: Terrain and Chernarus Redux

[steady hawk]

Then make sure if it is not an ATOC issue as HG said

[dusky niche]

Yep, tried every ATOC settings

[steady hawk]

Did it ever happened before?

[dusky niche]

In some CUP Terrains yeah

and Kunduz, Afghanistan Terrain a few bushes

[dusky niche]

looking at this, is there perhaps a mod that could replicate a tree being shot by a bullet when loading up a terrain

[pine kite]

Needs "CUP Terrains - Core", not just "Cup Terrains"

[wheat ginkgo]

Hey everyone! last night i presented a friends' issue here about a LRX vehicle sound mute situation. For anyone who might have this issue in the future and comes here for a chat search, ( LRX / Liberation RX / LiberationRX ) it was a lrx earplug issue, custom keybind 12 is the keybind thats responsible for it!

thanks Valen and John Jordan for your responses!

[uncut trellis]

Thanks for reporting back!

[dusky niche]

Oh yea sorry, CUP Terrain core, forgot to wrote core there

[hard kiln]

Hey i could use some help with my mods. These are my installed mods:

The problem i'm having is that i can't open the addon options menu

it says i have to be in a mission (which i am in editor) and i tried downloading an older version etc but i don't know what else to try

[steady hawk]

One thing I want to ask is why you're using no Workshop Mod

[hard kiln]

I took the mods from skymods

[steady hawk]

And for what reason?

[hard kiln]

I want to learn manual modding

[uncut trellis]

There isn't really any benefit to that. Workshop is the most reliable source for mods that are kept up to date. Random mod with random versions from interwebs are far more prone to have issues

[hard kiln]

Oh alright

[uncut trellis]

Your list also seems to have lot of mods that might affect same things. So they probably conflict with each other.

[hard kiln]

Okay ty

[hard kiln]

like what tho

[uncut trellis]

Multiple lighting and weather mods.

Best to test that kind of mods one by one

[hard kiln]

I'm gonna do that rn

I only enabled bloodlust and CBA and got this

Same error with only cba

[steady hawk]

Install CBA from Workshop

[hard kiln]

I did

Still got the same error

[steady hawk]

Can you open up Debug Console and execute: sqf productVersion?

[hard kiln]

Okay

["Arma 3","Arma3",212,150779,"Stable",true,"Windows","x64"]

oh they already gone

[fringe salmon]

Why

Hello?

[pastel turtle]

how can i play multiplayer with my friend? i start a server but they cannot join

[versed garnet]

Hello Guys,
i have a Problem with my Game. I am always kicked from the server as soon as I can select the spawn point. Maybe one of you can help me. Thank you very much! https://i.imgur.com/nIK5Z8N.png

I have already checked my game for errors

[uncut trellis]

that file must be corrupt since it does not match the online signature.

try deleting it and then verify game files so its downloaded fresh

[versed garnet]

unfortunately the problem still exists

[fringe salmon]

But why does my problem happen

[umbral narwhal]

What happens if you run arma3_x64.exe directly from the program folder?

[pine kite]

Theoretically he could have set it to the Legacy branch (current version -1). But if he left in a hurry then it is suspect indeed.

[steady hawk]

He admitted he pirated the game in my DM

[pine kite]

I'm just saying. current -1 version isn't immediately an indication of piracy. If it was 2.10, then yes.

[steady hawk]

Just tried. It works on my end so let's try to find what is the faulty

But I actually can't think up what can do this

What about other Steam Workshop missions?

[sonic aurora]

Well i downloaded multiple missions before that they all had same problem.

I tried turning off firewall, Restart pc. They didn't work

Maybe I did something wrong tho.

[steady hawk]

Well, I actually see this error message for the first time

[sonic aurora]

There some people on internet having this problem too. But i couldn't find solution on youtube or anywhere

Here is another scenario

I will try verifying files

I still have the problem

Btw i reinstalled the game after long time

I think last time i played this game was year ago

And i could play scenarios i downloaded

[pine kite]

Where is your operating system user account stored? Normal place on the C-drive? Or on a USB stick or USB connected drive? Or are you perhaps using OneDrive that is close to full?

[sonic aurora]

C Drive

[pine kite]

Yeah, I'm grasping at straws here too. I don't know why Arma or your OS could think there isn't enough space to store the scenario. Which is usually tiny compared to mods.

[sonic aurora]

Do missions displayed here?

Or in MPMissions

Because i dont see any files here? Maybe that is the problem

Is there any website i could download scenarios or missions and put files on here?

[steady hawk]

This is not where a WS mission goes

[scenic lark]

Hey i need help for somereason my Zeus GM doesnt launch when i press Y i downloaded RTS Zeus Wargame and Zeus Enchanced when i enter editor my addon option menu doesnt show anything like nothing at all and i keep getting error message as file Jac_arma_WARGAME/DATA/SCRIPTS/JAC_WARGAMEMAIN.SQF lINE 3025 ERROR Undefined variable in expressions

Or if not that then something like CBA_Xen

Idk what is causing this problem it worked fine untill i got Spearhead 1944

[pine kite]

subscribe to scenarios in the workshop. They will either show up in the single player scenario menu, or if they are for multiplayer server use then they will show up in the list when you have chosen the terrain it is for.

[scenic lark]

I reinstalled game and just entered normal thing, but like for some reason when i use now Zeus GM and click RMB to like edit in Zeus GM the RMB button just doesnt react at all like did Bohemian Interactive delete option for RMB in eden editor for Zeus or what

[unreal furnace]

Performed all steps in the following:
https://www.getdroidtips.com/arma-3-wont-launch-pc/#13-Reset-Arma-3
https://arma3.com/launcher/troubleshooting
https://www.drivereasy.com/knowledge/fix-arma-3-crashing-issues/
I have also tried the following (included in some of the above)

• Restarted multiple times
• Verified file integrity multiple times
• Configured arma3.exe, arma3_64.exe, steam.exe, and arma3launcher.exe to run as administrator.
• Reinstalled Arma 3 multiple times
• Disabled all mods (unsubscribed from workshop and deleted Workshop folder in steamapps/common--during uninstallation)
• Reinstalled Steam
• Reinstalled and repaired all C++ Redistributables, .NET, and DirectX
• Reinstalled BattleEye
• Performed a clean boot
• Turned off Windows Firewall and Microsoft Defender
• Shut off power switch and disconnected power cord and allowed to rest.
• Launching with -safemode parameters, resetting launcher settings to default and disabled hardware acceleration (and with enabled).

After trying each time, I received the same error with no variation whatsoever.

I can play the game fine (without any mods) from arma3_64.exe in common/Arma3, but cannot launch from the Steam app itself. I receive the same error when trying to start up arma3launcher.exe in common/Arma3. I am currently trying to play with a fresh install of Steam and Arma 3, not subscribed to any mods on the workshop. Not sure what to do at this point--I appreciate any and all help.

[pastel turtle]

does anyone know which mod causes that menu on the top left appear when i press tab

[golden nova]

Start from not installing stuff you can't even care to learn what it does, will make it easier to debug any future issues

[pine kite]

Are you on Linux or a Mac system by any chance?

[young karma]

Does anyone know whether reforger works with XLR microphones? I've got the correct device set up as my windows default but it won't work in reforger

[steady hawk]

This is A3 channel

[sonic aurora]

I already did and they show in scenarios but when i try to launch them it says operation cancelled not enough disk

[pine kite]

Did you move your Arma 3 install folder or mods elsewhere?

[sonic aurora]

No i didn't

i installed game like 2 days ago

didn't touched anything

[steady hawk]

As Valen suggested what about OneDrive?

[sonic aurora]

I don't use OneDrive

[pine kite]

I have no clue where that screenshot of some MPmission folder actually is. The full path isn't visible. so hard to say why nothing is there.

But that error message of not having enough disk space is a clue that your install is incorrect in some way. Make sure you do a disk integrity check.
If that is ok I would try to perform a full Arma 3 uninstall and wipe Arma 3 from any Steam folder you can find on your drives. Make sure you Shutdown Steam app, the launcher and the game and remove left over files and folders for it. Then try a reinstall and give it enough time to install.

[sonic aurora]

Ok i will try that

The place where you would expect Arma to be in your Steam folders:

Arma 3 install: somedrive:\Steam_install folder\steamapps\common\Arma 3
mods: somedrive:\Steam_install folder\steamapps\workshop\content\107410
User profile folders: 'Documents\Arma 3' and 'Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles'
Useraccount Appdata folders: C:\Users\$USERNAME$\AppData\Local\Arma 3 and C:\Users\$USERNAME$\AppData\Local\Arma 3 Launcher

I just noticed there are additional files for the launcher in C:\Users\$USERNAME$\AppData\Local\Bohemia_Interactive

[young karma]

Description says "discuss problems with Arma games" and there's no reforger troubleshooting channel. I posted in hardware before and was referred here. Is there any place I can ask for help instead?

[steady hawk]

#reforger_troubleshooting

[young karma]

Turns out I'm blind. I checked like 3x, thank you

[steady hawk]

Please fix the description @tiny imp

[paper cairn]

Yo I keep getting this problem .
It happens only when I play the contact dlc, my fps just drops down to like 10 fps while I normally run about 60 fps

[steady hawk]

1. Reduce view distance
2. Prey

[pine kite]

Or what campaign mission/scenario/custom editor made on Livonia? what happens in it when it goes 10FPS. Mods?

[paper cairn]

Just the arma contact dlc with no mods, I just join in and the fps drops

[pine kite]

Another server then? (as you "join something")

[steady hawk]

Contact DLC is not really meant to be played in MP anyways

[paper cairn]

Not on multiplayer

I’m just playing single player campaign

[pine kite]

Well, guessing as to the reason isn't really profitable. If you list your settings, and system specifications it might be easier to say some reason. See if it is caused by high disk activity by having taskmanager open in the background and switch to the performance tab when this happens.

Also, the autodetect button usually gets you the best settings for your performance.

[paper cairn]

Ryzen 5 5600
16 GB Ram
RTX 3060 12 GB VRAM
500GB nvme

Running arma on ultra setting with a constant 60fps

Changing the graphics doesn’t change the fps at all

[uncut trellis]

what view distance?

[paper cairn]

Where can I see that?

[uncut trellis]

in the video settings

[paper cairn]

Under visability my overall is 3800

[pine kite]

Halve that. You usually can't see far anyway with those trees.

[paper cairn]

Will do

[pine kite]

And in the single player campaign scenario the effects will limit that even further often.

[paper cairn]

Nah still just sitting around 10 fps

[manic mango]

yo, im trying to join this one server and this error comes up every time, btw im new so idk anything

[uncut trellis]

either you dont have correct mods or that particular server is set up broken or your mods are broken.

Typically mods wont be at that path

[manic mango]

i dont have any mods, but idk what mods i need

[sonic aurora]

Hello. I have problem with arma 3 setting.

[uncut trellis]

use the launchers server broswer to join servers so it can set up mods for you on launch

[sonic aurora]

Whenever i change my settings after i restart the game it resets itself

[uncut trellis]

disable or uninstall onedrive

[manic mango]

ohhh

[uncut trellis]

it messes up the profile saving

[sonic aurora]

And sometimes when i leave setting tab my hud becomes so large that i cant even see plane ammo etc.

[sonic aurora]

Are you answering my question or his?

[manic mango]

thats normal for most settings

[uncut trellis]

yours

[sonic aurora]

I dont even have onedrive

[uncut trellis]

then something else locks up your profile file

you can try creating a new profile in the main menu

and see if that saves correctly

[sonic aurora]

I searched up google it says check "read only" your profile file

where is that

Maybe i can do that

If i make new profile is my progress saved on multiplayer servers?

[uncut trellis]

no

those will stay with the first profile

but just try the new profile and if it works

[sonic aurora]

lol i can't even open new profile

when i launch game i see its deleted

i dont know why buy my Arma 3 is cursed i can't even open scenarios, change settings

host server

[uncut trellis]

then something is locking your user files where the profile files are saved

[sonic aurora]

Where is my profile files

[uncut trellis]

in your windows user files

[sonic aurora]

i can't find it

in my user files and appdata?

These ones?

[uncut trellis]

should be in you user\documents folder

[worn jungle]

My Documents\Arma 3\
My Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\ProfileName\
*.Arma3Profile

[sonic aurora]

There is no Arma file on my documents

[uncut trellis]

do you have Arma 3 from steam?

[sonic aurora]

Yes

[uncut trellis]

try verify the game files

!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.

[sonic aurora]

i did that 2 times

when i couldn't launch scenarios

i had setting reset problem too

still having same problem since then

Maybe redownload is the way

[uncut trellis]

if you dont have the profile folders in your user documents then it has not installed correctly

most likely all your issues are related to this

why it happens I dont have any idea

[sonic aurora]

How to like download arma 3 clean

Like deleting all arma 3 files

then downloading it back

Because i didnt had this problem back then when i first bought the game

[fringe salmon]

Help

Please

now

Also why does my Anti-Virus say that Arma 3 might be a virus despite getting it from Steam

[pine kite]

Like I wrote before, uninstall through Steam. Then shut them all off, and manualy remove leftover folders: #arma3_troubleshooting message

[pine kite]

Stupid Anti-virus that doesn't trust Battleye? It runs as a service in the operating system. You can disable the Battleye in the launcher, has it's own tab with a check mark. But some servers require it.

[fringe salmon]

Battleye is off and it says some „unauthorized change“ of a file made my anti-virus go crazy but I found nothing odd or changed

[pine kite]

Tell it to make an exception about Arma 3 if you can. At least you know where the issue comes from, your Antivirus.

[fringe salmon]

Ok, now I will restart the game and see if it was fixed

[fringe salmon]

Didn’t work, either something is deadly wrong and remained unchecked or can a mod have something to make my anti-virus go crazy?

[uncut trellis]

theoretically yes

what antivirus do you have?

[fringe salmon]

Windows Defender

[uncut trellis]

cant say I have heard it flaggin arma files before

but you should be able to set exclusion rules for it

[fringe salmon]

I think something really bad happened because even tho I turned it off it still could detect the threat and it also doesn’t show up to the defence history

Idk what tho

[uncut trellis]

dont know.

[sonic aurora]

I did them all now im waiting for download

I hope it works

[jovial saddle]

Friend of mine has the same issue, we uninstalled OneDrive together and no changes, we reinstalled Arma 3 completely with no effect, anything else he can try?

Sorry for that ping!

[umbral narwhal]

Depends. How technical do you want to go?

[jovial saddle]

I work in IT, he doesn't. Hit me.

I found an article giving me these steps, worth a try?

Create folder named test on another drive than C drive
Start Arma 3 Launcher
Go to Parameters>All Parameters>Advanced>Profile folder
Tick Profile folder and select folder test on your drive which you have created already
Click on Play button in Launcher and game should boot into main menu in default settings
Quit game
Copy files from C:\Users\mehdi\OneDrive\Documents\Arma 3 into YOUR DRIVE:\test\Users\NAMEOFYOURGAMEPROFILE\
Game should start with your settings and savegames if you click on Play in Launcher

[umbral narwhal]

That's the one.

[jovial saddle]

Oh, easy! We'll try this, thanks

So I'm assuming problem is Arma's trying to find file that doesn't exist?

[umbral narwhal]

Problem is Windows doing something horrible, probably.

[jovial saddle]

Windows being Windows

[umbral narwhal]

Arma is just defaulting to %user%/Documents/Arma 3

[jovial saddle]

Ahhh...

Documents is on OneDrive, auto sync?

[umbral narwhal]

Yeah, used to be you could remove the thing and then it was fine.

[jovial saddle]

⭐ Windows 11 ⭐

[umbral narwhal]

But it's possible that Microsoft has progressed in the natural direction of fucking things up even more.

Oh yeah, if you don't care about your current profile data then you can skip the copying.

Not sure where it puts Arma3.cfg with a custom profile folder though.

[jovial saddle]

Last time Arma worked for him was 4 years ago, he doesn't care haha

Maybe include a link to https://feedback.bistudio.com/T139766 in that FAQ in case disabling onedrive doesn't work

[umbral narwhal]

"Other drive" is a bit excessive too. Creating a new folder in the C root should be fine.

[sonic aurora]

After i reinstall the game should i directly launch the game or do anything before that?

[jovial saddle]

He's getting stuck at "Loading Core Configs".. anything that needs to be in said test folder?

[umbral narwhal]

That's something else I think.

Can't be sure though, never seen it before.

[jovial saddle]

Back to Google I go!@

[umbral narwhal]

Well, I just tried setting "profile folder" to an empty folder and Arma started fine.

I guess it could be complaining about lack of Arma3.cfg though.

Ah no, it makes a fresh one in the default user folder, so not that.

[jovial saddle]

What if we manually add an empty profile?

[umbral narwhal]

shrugs

I really don't know what that error means, and BI are not going to tell you.

[pine kite]

Doing a system restart often does wonders. But probably can start the game immediately from the launcher.

[umbral narwhal]

My instinct is that it's not a profile problem at that point though.

[half oak]

Good afternoon, everyone. I need some help. When trying to open the config editor in the editor, DEV-client crashes to the desktop. And so on all the time. The client has been reinstalled. I can send you the log and dump file. If it is necessary to send additionally to someone from developers in private messages or to mail, I can send it there

[umbral narwhal]

@half oak Does it work in stable?

[jovial saddle]

There's also a lack of Arma3.cfg in his test folder, It doesn't even get that far

[umbral narwhal]

What's the error you get on startup with the default profile folder?

[pine kite]

It's best to make a ticket on the Bohemia Feedback tracker site and upload those files. https://feedback.bistudio.com/

[umbral narwhal]

Might be best to notify in #dev_rc_branch

[pine kite]

Ok, yeah, that one probably better.

[half oak]

Stable crashed too

[umbral narwhal]

With all mods disabled?

[jovial saddle]

We're giving it a good ole' reinstall. I presume there's more happening but I want to see what happens on a fresh reinstall without OneDrive

[pine kite]

In that case, make sure you have restarted your system.

[half oak]

No. But my development team and I would like to know why the crashing is happening. We use the dev client a lot and we don't understand why

[umbral narwhal]

But you said it crashes with stable too.

[half oak]

With our mods, yes. I forgot to describe that my mods are used

[umbral narwhal]

Ah right, someone wrote some very broken config and you want a clue.

Good luck with that.

You could try throwing an mdmp at dedmen.

[unreal furnace]

nope

[half oak]

Thank you, I'll try to go in person

[umbral narwhal]

Personally I'd remove chunks of config until it stops crashing.

[sonic aurora]

same problem

You said profile file needed to be in user/documents right?

but i dont see any arma3 file in there

[umbral narwhal]

Is there anything in %user%/onedrive/documents? :P

[pine kite]

All I can think of is removing that last mentioned path (or rename it) and letting Steam verify it again. #arma3_troubleshooting message As it seems to contain configuration files for the launcher. I've never seen that error before. Hardly any for the launcher actually. If it doesn't go away then you better ask the professionals at Bohemia Interactive.

[sonic aurora]

i just got blackscreen

i wanted end task with task manager but i couldn't see

but i could press windows buttons

and restarted pc

[pine kite]

black screen isn't a blue screen. That is hopefull.

[trim nest]

Hello everyone, I needed a little help, I previously ran my server with TDAST with more than 30 mods using this command line in cfg MaxCustomFileSize = 10240; and everything was going great now I decided to use FAST but I can't put the more than 30 mods can anyone help me thanks

[sonic aurora]

I googled that problem

I went into local files of Arma 3 and started arma3.exe with administrator

i can now launch scenarios

but i dont know settings will save

[uncut trellis]

running the game as admin should give it access to admin locked files and folders (your user files)

so likely yes

usually you should not need to do that

but if your windows is set up in the way that it prevents the game access then you may just need to always do that

[sonic aurora]

No

[sonic aurora]

Can i join multiplayer server and host server with that?

[uncut trellis]

probably

[umbral narwhal]

Wrong parameter. It's steamProtocolMaxDataSize. I don't think TADST supports it so you'd need to edit server.cfg manually and run as-is.

[sonic aurora]

i cant it say battleye restart required

[sonic aurora]

i think we solved it

my setttings are now saved

and i can launch scenarios

[uncut trellis]

👍

excellent

can you describe what you had to do? incase someone else has same issue

[sonic aurora]

i just changed arma3.exe properties ticked run this program as administrator

and played some scenarios

then leaved game

my windows(troubleshoot i think) said do you need fix this app and gave me 4 choices

1 one of them was this app needed permission to the files

i ticked it now its solved

[jovial saddle]

STATUS_APPLICATION_HANG

Even after reinstall

[uncut trellis]

excellent. thanks!

[jovial saddle]

BOOM! FIXED IT

So, profile onto C:/ drive instead of D:/ fixed it, thanks for your help

[umbral narwhal]

If D is a hard drive then the spin-up delay might be problematic.

[trim nest]

for me with TDAST it works with the command line I mentioned

[pine kite]

It could be that Arma 3 tried to install the battleye client or some other thing but didn't success as it wasn't in admin level or something. See if it fails when you untick that as administrator. (As I find it strange that this is required, I have never had to tick that. Maybe only once ages ago, but definitely not every time I play.)

[sonic aurora]

i dont want to risk again and redownload game my internet speed is 2mb/s

[pine kite]

A tick in the shortcut shouldn't require you to redownload everything. But fair enough, time to play you have.

[lean basalt]

After I disabled vsync, my propeller on GPU goes nuts during restart and first minutes of the game. Rtx3070 8gb. Shouls I be worried?

[unreal furnace]

yeah I have no idea at this point

[pastel turtle]

i looked through every single addon description and none mentioned anything related to this

[exotic crater]

could anyone help me with this

[steady hawk]

Unload the bad Mod

[exotic crater]

Ok

I get that

But how can i fix my faction mod

[steady hawk]

"My faction Mod"?

[exotic crater]

Yeah? I updated my faction mod and it started this error

[steady hawk]

Then write a working config

[pastel turtle]

best advice

[exotic crater]

Ok

Bet

[umbral narwhal]

If you're not using vsync then I'd strongly recommend using a frame-rate cap.

[somber zodiac]

Why do all the vehicles in my convoy just randomly stop following me while we are getting shot at? I checked and every time that did happen none of the drivers or anything got killed so that is not why. Any guesses anyone?

[tropic hinge]

Is there any reason why ARMA would keep running even after closing the main game and after trying to force it to stop from the Steam launcher?

[steady hawk]

Do you mean Arma 3 itself or Arma 3 Launcher?

[somber zodiac]

Is there anyway to keep the gunners and drivers in vehicles to not disembark when I hit disembark? I want everyone else who is not a gunner and driver to exit the vehicle. Any answers? Thanks.

[steady hawk]

Don't select gunners and tell others to disembark

[sonic aurora]

Hello. I have problem with mods, When i activate the mods arma 3 won't load it's stuck in loading screen.

But when i deactivate it runs normally.

What can i do to play with mods.

[spiral fractal]

Try loading one mod at a time and see if it’s a specific mod conflict issue

[tropic hinge]

The ARMA 3 launcher

I have a workflow where I run HEMTT and cuz of hardlink stuff it automatically updates the PBO of a mod i'm testing

or it's supposed to. For some reason closing ARMA 3 itself sometimes still leaves the process running unless I go to close the launcher itself

This means that I can't properly build the PBO without closing both ARMA 3 and the launcher, but this doesn't seem to consistently happen

Notably I'm always to build just fine if I open the launcher first but actually open ARMA 3

Additionally even after closing the launcher sometimes ARMA keeps running for a minute

Alright it just takes a while for the ARMA 3 process to stop even after closing the program (waiting a bit works even with the launcher open) but I don't know if I had this issue before

[sacred python]

input reactions get slower and slower throughout the mission.

@sonic aurora try loading just one mod at a time, or...have you added or removed a mod midway through a mission? Often time this will render the current mission unplayable (unloadable)

[sonic aurora]

Fixed thanks.

[sonic aurora]

Thanks.

[velvet sage]

mod manager just says "initializing mods managment" and when I launch the game it launches without mods

[fringe salmon]

when i start the game this pops up first time starting the game so i dont know what its about

and then this

[mental river]

repair your game

[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.

[fringe salmon]

worked thanks bro

[subtle orchid]

How to fix such issue, after about 60 minutes of gameplay this is happening (related to https://feedback.bistudio.com/T177325):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quYDJgQGXh4

[pine kite]

I would start to look at your GPU or CPU temperatures.

[subtle orchid]

What do you mean, they are all good

[feral yacht]

I got a bug that I cant see the aim thing in the middle plus the third person is not working

[pine kite]

Is that just your game doing that? Or the server you play on?

[feral yacht]

its the game

[subtle orchid]

Please see the ticket, it's happening for all the players on the server after a while (60-90 minutes), game restart will fix it

[feral yacht]

Like single player

East wind

So when it supposed to be fixed?

[pine kite]

Hold on, you two talking about the same issue?

[subtle orchid]

no

[feral yacht]

anyway it happend me in the last east wind mission

I didint was in some server

[pine kite]

All at the same time? Or after 60-90 minutes after each individual player comes along? If you all come on the server at the same time, it's likely the server.

[feral yacht]

So is there any answers valen

[pine kite]

I don't know, doesn't have to be a bug. Could be you have difficulty settings to Veteran.

[subtle orchid]

no, for one player its after 50 minutes, for another 60, for another 90 minutes

[feral yacht]

maybe

[feral yacht]

I stayed the game afk maybe thats why

[subtle orchid]

I'm not talking about your issue

[feral yacht]

o i think im on veteran

how do i change it

[pine kite]

Yeah, Angel, don't get both issues mixed up.

[feral yacht]

sorry

[pine kite]

Stop the scenario you are playing, change the difficulty settings, start playing it again.

[feral yacht]

its campgain

[subtle orchid]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Difficulty_Settings

[pine kite]

Campaign is still a set of scenarios. Stop it, change difficulty, get back at it.

[feral yacht]

o i did it thanks

[pine kite]

Veterans are expected to not need a cursor or 3rd person view. 😉

[subtle orchid]

@feral yacht the faster you play without cursor and 3rd personv view the better

[feral yacht]

btw

I got problem

I dont know how to get full screen on arma 3

like

I was on full screen this whole time

now its just little window

[pine kite]

You have the option to set graphics to Fullscreen Windowed.

[feral yacht]

what category

ok i did it thanks

[uncut trellis]

also alt+enter switches between fullscreen and windowed mode

[viscid patrol]

Hello o/. I'm having a persistent issue as of late and would like some help with it if possible.

Current Specs:
GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Mobile
CPU: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-12800HX 2.00 GHz
RAM: 2x8gb 4800Mhz

Whenever I'm on a multiplayer server (modded), it will randomly say "Player is starting to lose connection" before fully disconnecting me with the red chain symbol in the bottom right. However, when I go to rejoin, it will only show me a loading screen for a few seconds before booting me out again without a warning message. When I try to join from the launcher itself, it will load but stay stuck on the Arma logo screen - in which I can press 'esc' to go back to the home screen with all the gamemodes and such.

Interestingly enough though, no one else in my Arma group has had these issues, and we all use the same mod list HTML, so it seems highly unlikely that a mod would be the source of this problem (since it's limited solely to me).

So far, I've tried all these solutions.

-Resetting modem/router.
-Closing Steam/Arma fully.
-Erasing MP_Cache in %appdata%.
-Reinstalling Arma 3 from scratch.
-Limiting mods.
-Renaming Arma directory to create new directory upon load.
And a slew of other potential fixes.

I've also read somewhere that it could be a case of server connections getting wonky with teamspeak and whatnot. But despite closing everything and restarting my PC, the issue still persists.

There is no rhyme or reason to this issue. It occurs randomly.

[umbral narwhal]

Secondary issue is probably that the server isn't sure that the client dropped, and so it's waiting for a long timeout.

Initial cause could be a VPN (don't run Arma over a VPN), PC->router networking or router->internet networking. No relevant information provided.

[stray bear]

For some reason my Arma 3 workshop stopped downloading, have no clue why it happened after I uninstalled like ifa and fow and tried downloading new mods but it just doesn't show up in the downloads section have no clue why, it works on other games that has the workshop but not a3

Is there anything I could do?

nvm I just changed my beta participation and its fixed

[stone sigil]

Is it a known problem that if you put on other clothes from your backpack, they are invisible to others, but visible to yourself?
If you put the originals back on, everyone can see the originals again 👀

[drowsy apex]

hello , im trying to join a server it says connection failed , i can join other servers and play but the one server my friend is playing only one ic ant connect to it

i was playing it early then i left and wanted to play back it says connection failed i tried deleting profiles and verify no fix

[ocean cosmos]

make a repro and put ticket in #arma3_feedback_tracker

[vocal kiln]

this is antistasi plus, but for some reason non of my saves are popping up no matter what i do, idk if its arma, the mod, or my pc, but i cant figure out whats going on

[pine kite]

Are you using OneDrive, or do you still have it installed by default. it can mess up your Arma 3 profile as it sometimes doesn't sync well.

Also, I understand Antistasi Plus and Ultimate when used on linux have an issue with saving to the profile vars-file. (where the persistent saves are stored). Community version of Antistasi shouldn't have that issue.

Also, if you don't do a persistent save, or if you don't wait for the automatic save interval and you shut down the session then nothing is saved.

[vocal kiln]

one drive?

[pine kite]

Microsoft OneDrive, cloud storage.

[vocal kiln]

its installed by default i think

[pine kite]

Yes, and it messes up your profile on occasion. Unless you uninstall it.

[vocal kiln]

how does one unistall it?

[pine kite]

Simply uninstall it in the Apps page of Settings afaik.

[fringe salmon]

0x00000DEAD unknown on startup, whaaat the fuuuck

it says fault is at kernelbase.dll

also this ig

error beforehand is include file hlc_core\script_mod.hpp not found

[steady hawk]

Try vanilla first then

[fringe salmon]

aight

one sec

i think it was obvious but it worked

[steady hawk]

It was not really

Then you want to find a faulty Mod. HLC indicates is maybe related to NIArms

[fringe salmon]

well the error involved a mod so naturally running without would work
im troubleshooting rn, loading 10 mods at a time till a problem occurs

[wanton scarab]

any idea why this server is failing and not being able to connect?

[umbral narwhal]

Are you trying to use upnp in the server.cfg or something?

[wanton scarab]

upnp? i dont belive so but i will check

it was set to 1 i set it to 0 yet same problem

[umbral narwhal]

Does it still throw that createPeer error?

[wanton scarab]

yes it still is throwing a create peer error

[umbral narwhal]

Dunno then. Never seen that one before, figured it was UPNP.

[vocal kiln]

what command would i need to use to fix a vehicle?

[wanton scarab]

if the router wasnt port forwarded at all and i had upnp on would that maybe do something

[umbral narwhal]

depends

If you're on CGNAT then it's all useless

[wanton scarab]

if i was would that affect more then just arma servers?

[umbral narwhal]

It'd affect anything that lacked NAT hole punching.

[wanton scarab]

so arma and would that also stop teamspeak?

[pine kite]

If your teamspeak server is also running from behind your router. Likely.

[pine kite]

I don't know what that first screenshot is from, but you only need to port forward the top UDP ports. The rest is outgoing and usually already open.

[supple brook]

Anybody knows what might be the problem?

[uncut trellis]

most likely some broken mods

[supple brook]

Because it’s only happening with like RHS uniforms and stuff like that

Non modded uniforms

[ocean cosmos]

how many mods are you running

[pine kite]

RHS uniforms are modded uniforms. by definition.

[supple brook]

yeah i know that, the problems is with american uniforms only tho i tested on russians and other units and there is no problem

[pine kite]

Then your issue is with mods related to RHS USAF I guess. Mods that are dependant on it and don't seem to work along. I suggest you post a proper full modlist that you used to start the editor with. Otherwise it is just a guessing game what you have and what does an oopsie.

[shell tide]

Has anyone else been having vehicles that keep exploding infinitely?

kinda like cooking off but never ends

Its been happening to me and the guy I play with for a few months now, very loud and annoying, specially since the explosion still does damage
I dont think its a mod doing it since we've had it happen with just vanilla CSLA dlc, and also not the dlc since its happened with just CUP loaded

[uncut trellis]

its a mod

I dont believe vanilla has that kind of feature

[shell tide]

like its not actually cooking off

just looks like it

its just the vehicle keeps exploding infinitely, i could probably get a clip of it

this is what we were playing with today for example, where it happened with every single time any vehicle would get destroyed
+csla dlc

but yeah I think we had this happen with no mods

sometimes with helicopters they keep exploding up like a rocket

[uncut trellis]

make sure you dont have some accidental extra mods running from command line

or from being installed into the games own addon folder amongst the game pbos

and make sure you both have same mods and no localt FX mods or stuff like that

[pastel turtle]

how can i improve performance? 2070 super, i9900k 64gb of ram, getting 20 fps in multiplayer sog and 15 in spearhead1944

[uncut trellis]

less view distance

and what resolution monitor you got?

[pastel turtle]

1920x1080

1500 view distance

[uncut trellis]

desktop or laptop?

[pastel turtle]

desktop

[uncut trellis]

have you tried autodetect settings?

you should definitely be getting more than that

[pastel turtle]

yeah

i even lowered the autodetect settings

did i just lose silicone roulette or something

[uncut trellis]

its possible you have some GPU enhancements on that eat lot of fps in Arma

Arma is rather old game and many latest tech enhancements are way incompatible

[umbral narwhal]

@pastel turtle Can you run the benchmark mission "YAAB" through with display settings set on standard?

No mods of course.

[orchid kite]

ok

I have ALWAYS had this issue

does anyone else have 1 or 2 people get out of a transport at the mission start, all the time, no matter what?

I want a mission to start with people in a transport, being brought somewhere, and let out of it. But EVERY time, no matter what, one or two people get out instantly and are left behind

doesn't matter if it's the vehicle's crew or a different unit

someone always gets out

[steady hawk]

You always want to check if is a Mod issue or not

[orchid kite]

I have no mods

[steady hawk]

Then make sure if is a mission issue

[uncut trellis]

make sure you dont have over capacity in the vehicle

[orchid kite]

If it’s over capacity would it let me put someone inside?

Because the people are definitely inside the transport

[chrome current]

lock the vehicle. players aren't smart.

[quaint jewel]

0xDEAD means you just clicked away a critical error message box.

[quaint jewel]

That says HLC_Core is missing. Which is part of NiArms. You are missing a mod that is required by another mod

[fringe salmon]

Yeah I fixed it a while ago

It needed an outdated version of niarms

Hello, i can't play Arma 3, every time when i start game, show me some error.

Most common solutions to such error codes: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_Process_Exit#0xC0000135_-_STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND

i don' t know how fix that hahaha

i mean i see that and i don't know how fix that

!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.

[umbral narwhal]

It's 95%+ the VC2013 one anyway. And you can skip the uninstall step.

[pastel turtle]

yeah one sec

[umbral narwhal]

Is that with the full "standard" preset in display settings? Not just the option in YAAB?

[pastel turtle]

i do not know

should i re run it with standard settings

[umbral narwhal]

yeah.

[pastel turtle]

standard arma 3 settings and yaab

[umbral narwhal]

Well, that's as much as I get. Which is pretty bad considering that I have a 4790 and you have a 9900k.

Check memory speed/timings.

Is there a way to grant Zeus to a player from Web Console?

[pine kite]

Webconsole? There is no such thing in Arma 3. If you mean to manage servers, then maybe contact the server hoster. But I doubt it. There is no reference to make certain players Zeus-capable in the serverconfig. Only to become server admins in the game.

[kind ivy]

Greetings, I would like to ask for your help.
I recently purchased and am playing Arma 3 without mods on my macbook pro. But during the game itself, it breaks and turns off periodically with different intervals. And it doesn't just break, it causes some critical error that causes my macbook to reboot.
The situation is like this, I can play the game calmly and without any warnings my macbook reboots, after turning on it displays a system crash report.
I would also like to add that in all other games that I ran on my laptop, such a problem did not occur.
This happens both on the test for apple silicon and on the usual through rossetta environment.
My laptop has an m1-pro processor and 16 GB of RAM, and macOS Sonoma

[golden nova]

#linux_mac_branch and provide these crash logs there, too.

[wanton scarab]

so then its not likley thet im behind a CGNAT as my TS server seems to be working fine

and would port forwarding more then needed cuase the problems?

[pine kite]

If teamspeak is working fine behind your router port-forwarded then Arma is also going to be ok.

You want to port forward as few ports as possible for security reasons. There is nothing more to open for Arma 3 than 2302-2306 UDP. The others ports people usually do are outgoing anyway, those are almost certainly already open.

[celest badger]

Hi, all mod related pages of the briefing notes at the start of the games suddenly disappeared and only come out when starting the mission

I only see those vanilla ones

Missing those from CBA, TFAR and other mods..

Any idea how to bring them back?

[uncut trellis]

most likely something overwrites them from other mods

[celest badger]

I'm checking last things I added..

Found, it's the GGE core

[lavish vault]

How do I create or join Unit if I keep getting "an error occurred while performing the requested operation arma units" message on webpage?

[golden nova]

You wait until the service goes back fully online again.

[amber night]

my friend cannot join due to these errors

[umbral narwhal]

Get him to load the same mods that you're loading.

[amber night]

except that that is what we've been doing for months including today

except that it randomly stopped working

[umbral narwhal]

sighs

If he's loading more mods than he's intending to (Lambs, old RHS compats etc) then he should be posting here, not you.

[amber night]

he isn't though

he has the same mods as me

[umbral narwhal]

Whoever took that screenshot is loading Lambs and old ACE compats.

[amber night]

and even then, that doesn't change much

[umbral narwhal]

That's not a question.

why/how they're loading them is a question.

[amber night]

he downloaded the mods today from steam so how is that possible

he already had them on a hard drive which is now in a dump so it's really hard for the mods to not be new

[umbral narwhal]

get him to paste his client RPT here.

[amber night]

he's gone now

but I will

[amber night]

is the units service still down?

[golden nova]

Does it load for you? If it doesn't then it's dead.

[cunning wing]

Confirming, still down.

[broken igloo]

What do I do when I've been killed in Arma 3 and I'm basically stuck and can't do anything. Hitting ESC doesn't bring up the menu, hitting U doesn't bring up the switch unit menu.

It won't even play the usual killed by info thing, I'm stuck looking down at the floor

[golden nova]

Kill the process with alt f4, unless your pc does not react to any input, then just hold the power button for a few seconds to shut down the computer.

Then verify the mods you're using and/or the mission you are playing because apparently someone used the command to disable user input during "death".

[broken igloo]

That's what I had to do. alt tab out and end task. The game wasn't frozen, the battle was continuing I was just dead and staring at the floor lol. No input at all.

[limpid tusk]

is there a dedicated channel for proxy chat teamspeak help?

[steady hawk]

Well the server you're on is about Arma server, not Teamspeak

#offtopic_software or you can ask in their server/forum/support somewhere

[lyric hollow]

When I connect to a multiplayer server, the server fades to blank and freezes the window, any ideas?

[dire holly]

does anyone know if one of these mods are bad?

if you do ping me and let me know cuz im going to bed

[steady hawk]

As I said you're the one who test

And we don't know how bad it is

Check pinned for good method to test

[proper eagle]

hi, i need some help. me and a group of friends started an antistasi server but one person seems to be stuck on Receiving Mission File (0kb/0kb). We are hosting the server on LogMeIn Hamachi, we tried hosting it normally but it still doesn't work. We made sure all the mods are correct, even the DLCs we were using. Any kind of help would be much appreciated :)

[steady hawk]

What about other missions?

[proper eagle]

Also the same

[umbral narwhal]

That's kinda normal for vlans.

It won't be anything to do with the mods, just a networking issue.

Best the guy can do is make sure he's not running any other VPN software or 3rd-party firewalls.

[proper eagle]

Tried everything, still cant. even tried changing maps. might be just his internet thanks for the help

I have many mods loaded into the game, and yesterday I wanted to use GPS coordinates in the game, but I noticed that when I turn on the map, it does not show the GPS data, and when I want to turn it on using keyboard shortcuts, nothing happens. Is it possible that some mod has broken the GPS in the game?

[uncut trellis]

it is possible

[uncut trellis]

simplest way to test is to run the game with no mods and check in simple editor mission (with unit that has GPS) that it works right

[mighty plover]

ok, thanks for your reply. I will try to force GPS with a script. And if it doesn't work, I will do as you wrote

[pine kite]

Gps 'mfd' display requires having a gps/drone terminal item in you inventory slot. Similar to the map display being 'disconnected' when you don't have the paper-map item slot filled.

[silver cypress]

doesn't enableGPS work?

on the vehicle

[pine kite]

Try it, test it. I wouldn't even know where to use/set it.

[steel dune]

Dont know what to do here but i've been trying to get this to work for weeks and i've tried just about everything why is my publisher giving me this error everytime i try to open it?

Opened it heaps of times after it says "it will be reseted" but nothing changed and it just shows the error again

its quite frustrating

[viral river]

i keep getting this access status violation error and it crashes my game. I am trying to play Antistasi but this keeps happening. I tried to change to 32 bit and lower graphics to the lowest but even that didn’t work. Any suggestions anyone? I was redirected here when i was looking for answers

[steady hawk]

STATUS ACCESS VIOLATON tells nothing, really, other than "hey your game has crashed"

And anything can be the responsibility

Even the game itself or the mission

[remote brook]

I am very much an Arma III newbie. I n addition to the main game I have downloaded a number of DLCs and a number of mods from Steam. Prairie Fire and APEX are a couple of the DLCs I downloaded. I played a scenario from APEX last week. Since then whenever I load Arma III it defaults to Prairie Fire and I cannot find a way to access Apex or any other DLC for that matter. Grateful for any advice.

[steady hawk]

Launcher > DLC > Unload SOGPF. Also all Official DLCs are loaded no matter what

[viral river]

I see, what is the solution to this then?

im gonna try the same what this guy did, hope it works.

[viral river]

Stopped the crashing but performance was awful and the trees and buildings in the distance started “flickering”

from pinned messages https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_process_exit

check if there is any tips on how to solve the one you get

What would cause the 3den editor to be extremely laggy and glitchy? I'm talking like 10-15 fps, the undo button not working at all, and attributes being extremely slow to load and just everything in general being slow, but then when I play the game it's smooth as butter like 50-60 fps

[paper knoll]

This is a bizarre one, and I'm sorta at a loss with it.. Has anyone seen helos just clothesline themselves on nothing at all?

surprised meme mods cause issues?

[pine kite]

The smaler the list, the quicker it is to narrow it down. Group dependancy mods together and take those out. Check if the error occurs. (i got lost in what your issue is. Though i have no clue about those mods anyway.) If it doesnt happen, its in the group of mods that got removed. Then test by seperating base-mod and dependant mod.

[dire holly]

tbh no

Long time no update is asign of conern. But no true indication of being the cause. It might simply be unaffected by all the updates toArma 3 since.

Hey folks. Having some issues loading into my community's arma 3 server after I switched the performance branch. I can load into editor etc just fine, no issues at all

I got it sorted, was a malloc impl choice. Using windows allocator for memory wasn't happening, so switching back to tbb4malloc fixed it

Unrelated, any suggestions on changes to my params for improving performance? i7 8700k processor, 32Gb RAM

Not with those settings. But iirc Nanner/Knightin has a youtube video that helped a bit.

Never limit memory. You always want it to let it have what it needs. Setting an upper limit doesn't help

I tried run as admin, check ports, join by external pages tha shows servers, by a steam friend, in "A3Launcher", load the mods and try direct connect from the game and the launcher, but i cant join.

Tried join others servers and all ok, but i cant even see my clan server

it’ll hide it in editor but as soon as you start it in multiplayer or singleplayer everything reappears

what this

[quaint jewel]

That file mentioned there is broken/corrupted

you could try fixing it by opening it in notepad, but most likely you'll have to delete it

[craggy python]

Just opening it?

Or do I have to change something?

[umbral narwhal]

It's probably that bug where it writes RPT into the profile again.

You might just be able to delete the added lines. I forget whether it's an append or an overwrite.

[north spire]

Dumb question is this error because of running out of memory?

[umbral narwhal]

short answer: It can be, but usually isn't.

[north spire]

It’s on and off at times, I am wondering if it’s because of the view distance or the graphics I have.

[umbral narwhal]

Assuming that you're running the x64-bit exe and you didn't disable virtual memory then it shouldn't be capable of running out of RAM.

General hardware instability will generate 0xC0000005 errors as well.

[north spire]

Not home atm but where would virtual memory be at?

Try making a new profile

[vague smelt]

Two days ago arma3 started suddenly lagging so much , playing with 40FPS but performance seems no more than 6 FPS even zooming view could freeze it for seconds , tried the following with no success:
1- Check resources monitor , no major problems all are in acceptable percentages
2- reinstall DirectX
3- Change game parameters even with low Graphics settings it did very slight performance but didn't work
4-Created a new profile
5-update and reinstall graphics driver
6- system restore
7-fix some errors in windows logs , didn't know if it's related to it or not but no success
8- read arma3 logs , nothing notable for me 😦
9- changed to profiling , also didn't work
Any idea what could be the problem for it ? the game doesn't crash , only freeze when there is a lot of processing like zooming view
this low performance can be noticed too in the Menu before even logging in a server with small cuts in graphics

If you are subscribed to any compositions or scenarios try unsubbing all of them, it might be Steam trying to fetch some data and goes into a long, almost infinite loop

Arma 3 will not let me completely load into a server i get to the team pick screen and it shows no teams or players. if i press ok it loads 0 kb of data then freezes on the receiving data bar. sometimes it says it failed to load because of create vehicle restrictions #1. ive deleted the game and reinstalled. verified files. deleted all files then verified. deleted all files and unistalled the game. deleted all user files. nothing will fix it. I was playing fine a week ago.

a simple more info would of been fine btw.

you know what i fixed it carry on....

[jaunty shale]

trying to set up a custom antistasi server for me and a friend...
we are connecting through ZeroTier (because port forwarding didnt work,.... with ZT we can connect).. when he hosts, it works flawlessly, instant connect, no problems
when i try to host, first he couldnt connect.. fixed
now we are stuck in the role select lobby.. for me it works, but his lobby is blank
i already added firewall exceptions for arma3.exe, arma3server.exe, the x86 versions, etc....
i figured out that if i manually put him in a role, it shows up for him
but when i started the game, i spawned on altis, as its supposed to be, but he spawns on stratis and cant leave the map screen
for me though he stands right beside me and is shown to be connected...
we have the same game version, same mods, same mod load order,...
is it possible that my steam game launch arguments commands thingy is a culprit? ive already disabled the profiling beta, didnt help
any thoughts? ideas? its getting frustrating

does anyone have any fixes for Task Force Arrowhead Radio/Willing to help me run through it?

i'm not sure whats going wrong where, will be able to go much more in depth if i'm told what issues could be

[steady hawk]

You need to tell what is the issue or nobody can help

[slender fossil]

i don't know what the issue is i guess i can't put it in teamspeak 3 addons

[steady hawk]

“I guess”?

[slender fossil]

i don't know what the issue is i can't figure it out so that's my closest guess

[steady hawk]

Don't guess. Tell us “what is wrong”

You think something is wrong and this is why you're here no? Then tell us what is wrong

[slender fossil]

i'll try to find what's wrong and get back to here

[steady hawk]

Guess you haven't understand what I say here. Tell us what is wrong. What is your error. Nobody can guess

[uncut trellis]

write down what you do and expect to happen and then what actually happens

start from "you subscribe to the Task Force Arrowhead Radio (BETA!!!) on steam"

[golden vale]

put it ? you need to launch the plugin file like an application and install it you dont "put it" in addons you install it

so if you are still strugling to figure it out here is a quick tldr on how to set it up

• subscribe to tfar
• open tfar mod folder
• in there open the folder named teamspeak
• open the teamspeak plugin file
• install said plugin
  and you are done
  To verify if the plugin is installed either check your addons or connect to any teamspeak server and press on your name it should show the tfar plugin on the right hand side

and final reminder it is a Teamspeak 3 plugin make sure you dont have Teamspeak 5 installed

[slender fossil]

ok so i just went through everything i installed TFAR_win64.dll and when i try to open it, it says "this file does not have an app associated with it for preforming this action"

[golden vale]

you dont need to launch the dll but the .ts3_plugin

[steady hawk]

More like there is no need to try to launch a DLL whatsoever. Any DLLs does not work when you double click it

[golden vale]

so iirc the tfar mod folder had the folder teamspeak and inside the teamspeak folder there was a file and another folder named plugin you dont need to open the plugin folder but launch the teamspeak file

im doing this of the top of my head so i might be wrong on the exact names of the folders

[steady hawk]

You even have a README.md that tells pretty much what exactly you need to do

[slender fossil]

my apologies the person who sent me a guide and it was wrong i'm incredibly new to this sorry guys

[golden vale]

its all good this isnt even the worse i've seen someone struggle with the tfar plugin

[steady hawk]

Nobody told you to apology after all

[golden vale]

a member of my unit accidentally set the .ts3_plugin file to be always opened with notepad++ so that was a fun struggle to sort that mess

[vague smelt]

thanks for ur response , I unsupscribed from everything/ Mods, Scenarios , maps ... , a slight enhancement but still I feel it's using a non compatible graphics files, maybe some dlls but not sure whats the issue

I get these lags or stutters every now or then but they eventually go away, if I get too annoyed I simply unsubscribe from everything on workshop (save your favourite mods as presets and export thehtml files through launcher) and then reinstall the game, suddenly it starts working like a fresh new one. Gives me peace of mind for a couple months

dunno about wrong dlls, assuming you didn't mess with the files and/or you are not on win11 there shouldn't be any issues there. If you have set up custom parameters in launcher you can bring them back to default too

[mental river]

If your system has an integrated graphics card, make sure the game is not running on that GPU.

try running the game without using the launcher too (run the exe directly). It could be a Steam problem

Hi, I ran into a problem letting AI drive over the map (Total of 4 Waypoints). They AI will after some minutes get stuck on a spot, switching between a waypoint at [0,0,0] and the current waypoint. But no waypoint other than "Move" was added 4 times on map coordinates... Any ideas?

Hey, my fellow scripter friend asked whether a "sudden server lag after 150-200 minutes" has been fixed yet

According to him also vanilla servers suffered from the issue about two years ago still

Another question he had was that has the diplomacy with civilian side been fixed? civilian side can't be configured in a proper way to be hostile/friendly against other 3 rest sides (direct quote)

If you don't know what it is, then you can't have disabled it. So don't touch it now. (But in Windows 10: Advanced Systems Settings\Advanded tab\Performance Settings Button\Advanced tab\Change button. As said before, don't touch if it isn't broken.

Temporarily change the name of the folder inside Appdata\RoamingOrLocalOrWhatever. That is equivalent to deleting it as the game or launcher searches in a specific foldername and not being able to find it. Or creates it when nothing is found. Delete the newly created one and rename back the older one if test showed it made no difference.

How bad a symptom are we talking about?

[somber zodiac]

Does the waypoint “transport unload” make all ai units disembark from a vehicle once they reach that way point?

[umbral narwhal]

No, only passenger groups.

Actually not sure about the exact rule, but if you have a crew group and a cargo group you use transport unload to make the cargo group get out.

The waypoint to make the crew get out is GET OUT

How do I redownload my arma 3

[steady hawk]

Reinstall in Steam

[gritty onyx]

Quite bad, the FPS used to drop to single digits or near it. According to him the issue existed also on official servers

[somber zodiac]

Thanks

You're on your own once you use VLAN software. They're very complicated technology and won't work correctly with all clients. If it doesn't work then you can try a different one (eg. hamachi or radmin).

[dry osprey]

Well hello lads. Apparently whenever I load into my friends server my arma launcher unexpectedly closes.. is there a reason my arma keeps crashing? (This is modded

[steady hawk]

Please refer to the topmost pinned post for examples of “more info”

[amber night]

I am playing on antisasi and whenever I try to change my gear in the arsenal I have a problem, as when I exit the loadout doesn't get changed

[amber night]

edit: the arsenal only works for the brief amount of time in which mods are still not active. what on earth could it be?

I have arsenal extension installed btw

[uncut trellis]

Sounds like some incompatible mod. Turn off mods and add them in in small batches to test what works

[amber night]

will do

it was arsenal extended which broke things

makes sense

[pine kite]

Premade gear/loadout templates don't work anyway if they were made outside of the Antistasi arsenal. As you will likely not have acquired the neccessary gear. It will need to be looted first. Only make loadout saves for the save state/ arsenal content you are currently playing.

[amber night]

how do I change the flag?

indian insurgents on altis don't make much sense lol

[amber night]

that wasn't the problem but I fixed it anyways

[pine kite]

Fair enough, but it doesn't hurt to consider it.

[amber night]

ok that's not good either

[amber night]

new bug

I cannot access the inventory of a vehicle

but I could a few seconds ago

[narrow wave]

Hey, need help with hosting on my PC

I Port forwarded a few months ago and it was fine till yesterday and suddenly my friends couldn join/see me anymore

i port forwarded 2302-2306 UDP

[umbral narwhal]

Arma is very picky about where you're standing for vehicle inventory.

[gray flicker]

anyone know how to remove this from screen?

[umbral narwhal]

Remove the broken mod or disable "show script errors" in the launcher.

[somber zodiac]

Could anyone please explain to me how I can attach objects to vehicles? I tried doing it and I watched a few tutorials but the object I am trying to a humvee just falls on the ground and wont go on the humvee. please someone help me

[celest badger]

Can't get rid of these errors in my server rpt, how can I identify that object?
Server: Object 2:8114 not found (message Type_125)

[umbral narwhal]

Those are just normal-for-Arma.

Like a network message about an object can arrive after an object has been deleted on a machine.

There's a server.cfg parameter to hide them if you're worried about log bloating.

Looking for what to do about this bug! Steps to repeat:

Start mission on a dedicated server that has a playable unit.

Join the game in a player slot, noting the group name.
Example: Alpha 1-1.

Verify your group once in game via scripting.
Example: group player; (returns "C Alpha 1-1")

Change your group via scripting.
Example: [player] joinSilent (createGroup civilian);

Verify that you have a new group name after changing it via scripting.
Example: group player; (returns new group name, such as "C Alpha 2-1")

Disconnect from the server.

Reconnect to the server, join the player slot that has the original group name.
Example: Alpha 1-1

You become a seagull.

The role selection screen doesn't update with the new group names, therefore, it seems to attempt to spawn you into a player slot which no longer exists.

My practical issue is that after my mission starts, I want to be able to add or remove playable units to/from my group, even if it's just once.

I have 100 playable units in the editor, each of which is the only unit in their group.
I want to be able to change it to 25 4-man groups, 50 2-man groups, or any other variety I need.

How do I accomplish this?

[drowsy apex]

is there a way to fix remove those jagged edges i know turning off anti aliasing and aa & pp fix it but it makes the game not looking good , i have nvidia gpu

i have a 1920x1080 monitor
