Antialiasing averages those jagged edges of lines and borders of textures. So turning it off would be counter-effective.

I would suspect that Type 3 ISP NAT security type to be influencing this. Whatever type 3 means. I wouldn't be surprised if it is still a form of Carriergrade-NAT. How did you determine that it isn't?
Also, when you try it on your own it all depends on how your ISP connection is configured. Still a question if yours is a CG-NAT, or a mistake is made with setting the port forwarding rule, or neglected a firewall setting. It doesn't diagnose anything on his side.
A dynamic IP address doesn't matter in the short term. Yes, the address can change. But not every second. More like at least an hour if the computer (or router) is constantly powered on. Making a LAN IP reservation for your computer would solve that side. Your internet side address can still change at any time. But maybe your ISP has a dns address for your specific router. Then you can give that to friends, so they always have 'the correct' reference to your IP.
pine kite
I don't know what a type 3 entails. So your guess could be as good as mine.
No, not the reserved LAN IP address. If you are not in his network in his home then using that address just likely points it to a probably non-existant device in your LAN. I meant the internet side DNS address of his router, IF his ISP creates that. I know mine uses a cryptic hostname and domain name. Or did so in the past. Though I am not sure how static it is or what it's lifetime is of the DNS record.
umbral narwhal
Apparently type 3 is just Sony terminology for NAT with no UPNP or port forwarding capability.
vale flint
Hi, after about a year of struggling I've finally decided to pull everything together and ask for a second opinion. Since I bought the game in January, I've been experiencing a few different fatal crashes that seem to instantly kill the graphics and require a force shutdown to fix. The errors happen a random amount of time after the game is started, either five hours or instantly when loading into a world. They don't always produce minidumps, bidumps, and sometimes dont show up on the RPT, but I have found the logs from files that didn't cause a fatal crash and gave useful information. The error codes are
DXGL_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED and by extension within the log DXGL_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG
STATUS_FATAL_USER_CALLBACK_EXCEPTION (only started happening recently)
STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION I understand this is a generic error and probably caused by something else
0x0000DEAD same as above
What I have tried:
- Messing with most of the graphics and parameters. However, I don't know which ones would have an effect.
- A factory reset. A fresh install of Windows 10 caused the same issue along with the second error code, which happens in a similar timeframe to the first error which has always existed.
- Checking for overheating. My CPU maxes at about 75C when playing and 70C at the time of a crash
- Google. Unfortunantly, this error appears to be relatively (?) obscure and I haven't found a good solution online yet, but I've also only spent a few hours searching.
- Messing with the drivers, although not to a great capacity. Intel doesn't seem to be too friendly about drivers for anything older than 3 years
What log files do I need to upload and for what error codes? What's the most useful here?
vale flint
Yeah, I play a decent amount of other games. Fair warning, this is...suboptimal hardware but still within the minimum specs for Arma. The only other game where I've experienced this issue (out of 20 or so other games) is Counter-Strike 2 where I've had the same behavior but no log file.
Right now I'm trying to reproduce the issue and get a log with no mods. Because I usually play with a decent plate of mods, but it happens regardless of what's loaded
golden nova
run a benchmark on your hardware and see if anything is failing
gpu first since dxgl errors are usually related to the graphics dying
vale flint
got it. any external programs specifically or just the default checks in BIOS
golden nova
you can use whatever google suggests first for stress testing, probably one software per each hardware piece. Furmark for gpu, OCCT for cpu, memtest86 for ram is what I usually use.

niether me or my friend can see eachothers servers in the friends or internet tab, we've tried using hamachi to make a lan game, and we've tried using direct connect
umbral narwhal
If you're using Hamachi then don't expect servers to show in steam friends. "Local" is normally the tab to look in, because it makes a virtual LAN.
pine stratus
me
golden nova
that is why he wouldn't pop up in the LAN tab, because it's for servers, not users.
you host, he checks the LAN tab and should see your "server".
pine stratus
i didnt pop up either for him
golden nova
were you together in the same network in hamachi? are you sure you actually started the virtual lan session in it?
you could try radmin in case hamachi doesn't work on your pc for whatever reason.
pine stratus
hamachi works just fine for us, its just ARMA
golden nova
it's not, I hosted through hamachi and radmin numerous games in recent years.
and probably not just me.
pine stratus
hamachi worked just fine for H3MP(H3VR multiplayer mod)
even if we dont use hamachi niether of us pop up in the friends tab on steam

you don't join games through Steam to play Arma, you should use the server browser.
pine stratus
we where using the server browser
theres a friends tab on there
and niether of us popped up
golden nova
Friends tab in server browser shows servers that your steam friends are already in, not friends that are hosting. again, the LAN tab is to join servers in local network, like those created thhrough Hamachi or Radmin

Then you need to figure out what dependancies your currently used mods have. One of them relies on a mod name like CAUI. But it sometimes has a different public name on the workshop. Post the RPT log file so we can have a look at your other mods.

if its a unit preset it is possible that you have a mod within it that has CUP .pbo files inside, hence the CUP warning despite no CUP mod loaded.
people tend to rip out these files to "save space" or "make the mod list smaller" and the only thing it does is what you are experiencing right now.

Read what it says at the bottom. Then check if any of those mods have keys folders with bisign keys in it. Those need to be added (or temporarily moved) to the keys folder of the server for them to be allowed.
If you leave those bigisn keys in the server keys folder then people can also join the server with those mods when you don't want that for your current scenario. Mod-mismatch between players galore.

what if theres a mod without a bsign but still it shows in the image that i sent? ^
pine kite
Then you need to ask the creator to sign it. Or perhaps sign them yourself for personal use (within your community) somehow. I have no clue how to do that. The section halfway on this page can be a starting point: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Creating_an_Addon
You can disable the signature verification in the server config file (or perhaps in the server management settings of Host Havoc (no clue where). But then anyone can join the server with anything they want as mods. Then you have no prevention against deliberate or accidental mod-mismatches.
umbral narwhal
Havoc has automatic keys scripting, IIRC.
So if it's complaining about missing keys then most likely that mod isn't running on the server.
Or yeah, the mod isn't signed (correctly)

If you set them to my options all client Network health Data is only logged instead of resulting in a kick. It's dependant on the Server. If i JIP this is not an issue anymore but if you start the game alone it is.
golden nova
Thank you for the answers at least.
have you tried asking people who have steamdeck and said that Arma performs well? After all they made you buy it and actually own that hardware so they know more than we do.
assuming steamdeck is a small inferior console maybe you should try playing A3 in 32bit? If it doesn't want to start in 64bit
btw don't expect anyone to help you troubleshoot this stuff, Steam is pretty clear on that case.

similar issue, at least. it's only applied to one specific server for some reason. every other server i direct connect to (karmakut liberation, official servers) do not have this issue and i can select a role and successfully load into the game.

If he gets a blank role assignment screen then he does attempt to join your server, although unsuccessfully to properly play. The only known cause for this to happen is if he is not loading the same Antistasi mod (or version) as you do as server. Or it is somehow a botched download through Steam on his end. Get him to make sure he tries it with no logging disabled and let him post the RPT log file from his system. We are not getting to the bottom of this without it. No butts about it. The RPT holds the answer of which mods are actually loaded. And post your own server RPT log file for good measure while you are at it to save time in case it is on your end after all. (a posibility if your server is a dedicated one that loads a significant bunch of mods that fails to be transmited through Steam. But is solvable if it is the case.)

Well, there is no problem with the mod (serverside) for sure, all the other players can play as usual, same like me. i also sent him my antistasi version and it still didnt work. Also this problem happens on many different servers (private hosted, dedicated and official servers), even servers where no mods at all are allowed.
But ure right, the RPT should help, i just hoped some1 had exactly the same problem and could tell me a fix :/ Ill tell him to send me his rpt when he gets online
btw im doing all the stuff for him because he doesnt really have much time to deal with such shit, if he would have to do it by himself, he would just quit and play other stuff, and i dont want that.. xD

on my server and some other servers he couldnt even select a role since the screen was blank, and no hes not using a VPN. We tried for more than 5 hours to fix it :/
We tried:
- disabling firewall
- forwarding ports
- uninstalling game twice (+removing everything from the pc that has something to do with arma so its 100% fresh) and testing with and without mods on servers that require mods and servers where u cant use any mods (official BI combat patrol servers)
- (on a server where he was able to select a role) selecting another unit in role selection than the one the game puts u in automatically (on some servers it helps for recieving the mission, happens to me alot on 55th invade and annex)
- reinstalling the required mods on my server to be sure its the same version that gets downloaded via workshop
- deleting all traces of servers/missions (for example mpmissionscache etc)
- creating a new profile
- downloading the mission from the server and putting it in the directory so it just has to verify the mission without downloading
- restart pc
It feels like its not Arma's fault or even the server(s) fault, i guess his pc just doesnt like arma...
Like i said, ill send the RPT tomorrow and hopefully it helps...
Btw he was playing like 2 years ago and it worked fine, then quitted arma and just downloaded it this week to play with me

Hey Guys! Has anyone faced this issue? I'm using my MBP as my main display, but I also have a secondary monitor which I would like to run arma on. The only way I can think of doing that is running arma in windowed mode and manually dragging it onto the display. I read somewhere online that I can change the arma3.cfg file to adjust which screen arma launches on, but I cannot find the arma3.cfg file. Maybe anyone has any suggestions on what is the best way to approach this?

On windows it's just stored in the primary profile. I don't know if the file even exists on a mac.

Good Morning! Looking for help with a MOD Mismatch. I have updated the dedicated server, and verified that the server side mods are updated. From my Arma 3 Launcher I have clicked on these and clicked "Repair" to force update, yet I keep getting this error. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Those lines indicate that there is a signature mismatch. Maybe you updated the mod files, but neglected to check/compare the bisign files in the server keys folder.

assuming steamdeck is a small inferior console maybe you should try playing A3 i...
Tried that parameter. And I'll make a post in the steamdeck windows community today. I will say that I misworded it. Nobody mentioned good performance, just that it DOES run.
What I'm assuming is going on is that the Arma 3 script to auto detect best graphics setup isn't functioning right due to the steamdeck hardware not being officially recognized outside of steamos and proton (steams "windows emulator" to play games on deck). Since I made my deck a full windows machine, it's being treated as such and the hardware can't be found, which causes the auto graphics setup to either go straight to max, or just not run at all. I've been looking for where I can manually put in the graphics settings in the .ini file, but without knowing all that I need to type to fill it in (cuz it's just blank outside of my monitors dimensions) I can't set it up manually
Basically, is anyone willing to send me screenshots of the ini folder so I can type it in manually and see if that gets me going lmao
golden nova
I am pretty sure Arma 3 doesn't have an ini folder or any ini files used for configs, just .cfg ones.
golden nova
I'm saying that because I would not be surprised if Steam Deck tried to look for different files than the game is using and it breakes because it sees only a cfg instead of ini. Never had a Steamdeck in my hands.
if you want to tweak your game's settings go to Documents\Arma 3\Arma3.cfg or whatever it looks like on steamdeck, there you can tweak the values.

If I'm not mistaken the server doesn't have the map? Unless it changed recently, a client missing the map would still load the mission but the client would spawn on Altis; and he would be glitching out for anyone else that does have the map.

Hello, I need help with ARMA 3.
Whenever i try to open a scenario in the editor (CTRL+O, Or through the top left menu) Or try to host an Lan or Internet server. My game and PC (Other than CTRL+ALT+DELETE) Freezes.
I do belive these 2 problems are linked to eachother...
Playing without mods wont help.

have you tried verifying the game files on steam?
dire shore
Yes
I will try again, why not
Im doing it now, i will let you know if it solved it
This is getting frustrating

it probably wont if it did not before.
and in that case you would need to look into the log files to see if they indicate anything going wrong
!rpt
rustic eagleBOT
uncut trellis
you can post the RPT file here as instructed in the guide above

Will do
uncut trellis
the crashdump files however need BI techs to check out so you need to make a feedback bug tracker ticket for that

wierd how the latest RPT file was from the 16th...
i had the same issues back then, should i post that RPT?
uncut trellis
no
dire shore
hmm
uncut trellis
are you starting the game from the launcher?
dire shore
yes
uncut trellis
make sure you dont have logging turned off
dire shore
in launcher? I will check
"No logs" is not turned on in the launcher so i should be getting RPTs
because the game itself dont crash or anything, PC (Other than CTRL ALT DELETE) And arma freezes

log files shouls start to write right at launch though

because the game itself dont crash or anything, PC (Other than CTRL ALT DELETE) ...
and if i alt tab it will be an black screen

so something is pretty messed up
uncut trellis
Arma3 does not really like atl tabbing in fullscreen mode
so you would need to switch to borderless window if you intend to alt tab
dire shore
and this RPT from the 16th is called arma 3 server
Latest arma3_x64 was from 4 august...
just want to play antistasi lol
Oh well
dire shore
so something is pretty messed up
i think you are right, something is very messed up
😅
dire shore
so you would need to switch to borderless window if you intend to alt tab
fullscreen window?
dire shore
hold up, Changing to fullscreen window makes my pc not freeze when trying to host server, But arma is till loading with windows cursor
i think the actual problem why i cant host is that i cant access scenarios, In editor..
Because after you press host server after puting LAN or INTERNET, You choose map and scenario?
are my files courupted?
uncut trellis
Typically ready scenarios can't be opened in editor
That is normal
If you can open ones you make and save yourself then that is pretty big issue

means that one of your mods loaded is badly made and/or causes a conflict with another.
to fix this, unload mod by mod until it's gone, through this you will know which one is the culprit.
or just deal with it, as long as your game doesn't crash or cause severe performance issues you can just click OK and continue whatever you were doing

I need help with my mods list, I found out recently that there is a mod that is causing 0 sway (which I don't want) but I have zero clue as to what mod is doing this.
It's driving me nuts right now since I'm trying to make a unit that utilizes stamina
does enhanced movement remove sway??

I don't think so. It's more for getting onto stuff and vaulting and so on.

any idea what mod it could be based on my list?

No, I don't know most of them. Test with only loading the most of which you are sure of that don't do it. Then add halve of the remaining and test again. Repeat until you notice the 0 sway being back.

no clue what could be causing this. never had the issue on my old pc

all it is that i have placed is an ammo bearer and the zeus module
right before that screen pops up, i get this message, idk if its the problem or not

The last line of the error is pretty much self explanatory

you might have it in commandline option somewhere
for somereason
hexed gull
so?
uncut trellis
but you would have needed to add it yourself there
find where you have it added or enabled
uncut trellis
i add nothin
it is your computer and someone has enabled it.
first place to check is here
do you have it ticked on or off
uncut trellis
second place is here
hexed gull
and deleted in the game directory$
what is "Arma3.exe -modCSLA"
Why its doesnt do the same thigns with the WW2 dlc,!
uncut trellis
-mod= is the command line parameter to start addittional content like mods or dlcs
and it does not do the same thing with other dlcs because no other dlc has been added via the command in some place you dont seem to know
third place where you can add command line parameters is here in the games steam library settings
hexed gull
nothing nowhere
uncut trellis
this and the launcher mods parameter are something you would have needed to write yourself
uncut trellis
well you can try verify the game files on steam
and restart steam and your computer to see if that helps
hexed gull
okay

you can also try starting the game just from the arma3_64bit exe in the games installation folder and see if that starts without anything else

steady hawk
We only said open arma3_x64.exe
uncut trellis
I dont know what Direct Action is but I assume its some sort of mission
and to join a server you need to set up correct mods for that server
and the launchers server browser will do that when you use it to join
hexed gull
Of course I just referenced your post
i did
uncut trellis
it will ask you to enable required mods and disable ones that are not allowed

"I did" and?
hexed gull
and nothing the game launch in cold war
steady hawk
As in you did not have CSLA?
hexed gull
nope
uncut trellis
your rpt says you have it
steady hawk
We are talking about direct launchng arma3_x64
uncut trellis
and the rpt says mod=csla is used as launch parameter
true lets focus on that
@hexed gull first thing you must do now is to complete the verification here #✔role-selection so you can post pictures here and not in my DMs
then you go find the arma 3 install folder
and start the game from this exe
and tell us if the CSLA starts
hexed gull
Okay i do thaht
why when my game is launched i dont see the CSLA icnoe BUT when i load a fuking direct action altis i only have CSLA content
steady hawk
Once again
steady hawk
How about just to try this and tell us the result
hexed gull
i just did this
steady hawk
And? What have you done after that?
hexed gull
Nothing

You said you start a server but nothing?
uncut trellis
how do you start the server?
hexed gull
i only start my game in the directory folder and start my direct action local server

uncut trellis

how do you start the server?
i go in multiplayer/server browser/local host and i choose my scenario
uncut trellis

steady hawk

hexed gull
Which scenario you play?

uncut trellis
ok so how do you know its CSLA content?
steady hawk
I meant link
hexed gull
ok so how do you know its CSLA content?
Whe im in my local server i ONLY have the CSLA content (weapon,enemy,vehicle)
uncut trellis
are you sure its csla content?
hexed gull
Yes i only have this DLC for the cold war
uncut trellis
if CSLA is not running like you say, you cant have CSLA content in game
steady hawk
When you say the cold war, does this mean CSLA?
hexed gull
ANd when i start the server its say " you trying to run cold war" and when i launch my game in the folder it say "you try to run vanilla"
hexed gull
When you say the cold war, does this mean CSLA?

so idk where to go which channel so i have 1 issue, me and my friend play antistasi coop 25 mods, we have same mods RHS, CUP terrains and core, anyway we decide to play on chernarus 2020, for me map is different in mission, when i go to eden editor map is normal, but i get different version of chernarus when i play chernarus 2020 antistasi, but my friend's map is the one from eden editor
so basically i will be floating, going through some walls, my friend will be doing so same on my screen and vice versa like idk what happened how come we dont have same map configuration even when i open the M to see map i can clearly see walls / buildings there but there is no walls / buildings there in person
but when i go host LAN, different user profile i get with same issue i play on different chernarus 2020 layout configuration for me i have christmas decoration on the trees but my friend doesnt have that ?
this is how gmae looks like whne i host,
2nd image shows arma 3 eden editor chernarus 2020 these 2 maps are same!
what can cause 1 map to have 2 or 3 configurations of said map??

Having problems with multiple files for Arma 3 like the 3den.pbo files and etc not letting me join Official Servers, unloaded all mods, verified the game multiple times on steam and deleted those files and reverified but still cant find a way to fix it
just says Verifying PBO failed
pine kite
Seems like your install is gone corrupted somehow. Verifying through steam should fix it. If it doesn't try to find the specific PBO file, remove it while Steam and Arma 3 launcher and the game is turned off. Then do a re-verify through Steam.
gentle dune
I have done that already but it seems to vary on the file depending on the server, sometimes its the 3den.pbo and others its the Ui, tried deleting the files and veryfiying multiple times and just verifying on its own in general with everything closed but also get the same errors. Also Verified and restarted my PC but kept getting the same issue.
pine kite
Show the exact error messages you get. Not your crude replication of it. Details matter to determine if it is an issue on the side of the server or your game.
You should be able to post screenshots if you did the correct discord account verification thing here.
gentle dune
It will be the same message of Being unable to verify "said pbo". I did but im just verifying again so i cant get any screenshots for you atm
verifying my game
pine kite
Make sure that your antivirus software is preventing or holding too tight on the game files.
gentle dune
Had no issues with it before but will definitely check
pine kite
If it can't verify the file, some other program may be holding a lock on it. Or your drive is going bad.

what can cause 1 map to have 2 or 3 configurations of said map??

what can i do to fix this???
pine kite
If Official servers say your files are wrong then they somehow are. If verifying doesn't work. Do a complete flush of the folders where Arma 3 is installed.
gentle dune
Ive completely flushed the Addons file which is where everything seemed to be having problems just waiting for it to all be verified, Did do recent checks on my drivers that said everything was working fine. Checking my antivirus right now so hopefully come back with good news lol. I really appreciate all the help
gentle dune
pine kite
Can you upload your game's RPT log file? I really don't have a clue why you keep getting this issue despite verifying. A fair bunch of people post about such issues. Only verifying the game seems to work as far as I know. But maybe not for all.

where would i do that
steady hawk
Launcher, Parameters, disable No Logs
gentle dune
will i have to go back through launching everything again to get new logs

hopefully that one works
steady hawk
File size seems fine. I'm outside so can't check rn
gentle dune
yeah i went throught it too and couldnt see anything out of place
weird cause i was playing arma about 4 or 5 months ago just fine and havent touched anything with it since then
uncut trellis
have you tried deleting this pbo and verifying the game on steam?
steady hawk
Also which server you try to join?
gentle dune
just any official one
uncut trellis
does the game start in single player normally?
gentle dune
whether its warlords or coop apex
yeah, i was able to host a server for apex protocol
uncut trellis
how about editor?
gentle dune
will check if singleplayer works
well idk if it counts but i launched a server for editor and loaded in fine but will check for singleplayer editor
Editor launched just fine
its like it just doesnt pick up the Addons file for servers so maybe there is some software whether its my antivirus or what that is interfering
but havent changed what i use nor updated it but will check
went through my antivirus and couldnt find anything that was blocking it
even if mods arent loaded would they still be able to interfer?

No

So managed to figure it out and it seems something is blocking arma from retrieving the files since when i run as administrator everything runs fine
but cant seem to find anything blocking it atm

tried resetting folder perms for the addons file through command prompt but was unable to even with administrator for command prompt, it just wasnt able to for whatever reason but been able to run it fine if i launch in administator for the game file. couldnt find anything else locking down the file either

Where is the game installed to? Also do you see any error related to BattleEye?
gentle dune
What do you mean by the first part? Apologies just confused and no i dont see any BattleEye error, it just wont verify the addons file. The game is on a m.2 storage on the MBT
mental river
I mean installation path
Can you send the rpt from that session with the error?
rustic eagleBOT
mental river
You can DM if you're concerned about the personal info part (it could show your PC specs and user name in Windows)
gentle dune
i did already send one in and they couldnt see any problems with it, will get another lol
mental river
Ah I missed it. No need then
gentle dune
i can send you a more recent one and the installation path isssss
X:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3
i believe, tell me if that seems wrong
mental river
No it's correct. I saw it in the rpt already
But the rpt doesn't have anything about the error. Maybe it's from a different session
But one thing I can tell you is you shouldn't use the cpuCount and exThreads options
Leave them as default (unchecked)
gentle dune
Im more confused because i havent changed anything with arma or the mods since i last played around 5 months ago and everything was working fine then
and that was the most recent session at the time when they were helping me so i was still having the arrors

Hey so I’m currently trying to make a server for me and a few buddies to just mess around on, the server is up and joinable but it doesn’t list all the required mods. It only lists like 8 out of 60 of the mods we’re trying to use and I’ve tried everything I can think of to fix this
Anyone know how to?
I’ve removed all the mods from the server deleted them redownloaded them and reuploaded to the server.
pine kite
Check for errors in the RPT log file about adding a line for SteamMaxProtocolsize to your server config and give it a number greater than 1024. How much is trial and error on your part. Or something went wrong in the downloading process. If it didn't fix it, post your RPT log file here.

i have also tried setting the game to windowed mode, moving the game to the correct monitor and pressing "auto detect" in the settings to no avail

Making the secondary monitor the default/primary monitor for Windows is the only way I know.

Is it possible to increase LOD distance? I'm playing on the sog cdlc map and it's really distracting when the plants and grass start to change shape right in front of me
patent kettle
Bump object quality to max, but honestly arma is really bad with LOD pop-in so there's only so much you can do.
marble cloak
Oh alright, my object quality is already at extreme though, so I guess this is the best that the engine can do
signal onyx
old game, what can you do 🤷
marble cloak
Dunno, hoped that we could do something like the older cod games where you could specify what LOD appeared at what distance from the player
golden nova
But it's not cod, unfortunate or not.

the distance coef can be adjusted in model but naturally that cant really be done due to performance cost

arma lodding is just bad
expecially with wider fov's 21:9 monitors
it constantly switches LODs at the edges. I have 4090, max details and it does not matter.
There's also something skewed with lodding in high power scopes, move your crosshair 1cm from the center of the trees and they turn to the lowest lod and look almost 2d.

This arma shit is annoying😂😂. I noticed the only mods that would load on my server is ones without spaces so I renamed all of them so they won’t have spaces and now my server won’t show up😂

been having this issue for days after reinstalling a3 and the issue only having two options regarding the texture quality. is there a fix to this by going more higher i played the game with reshade and i thought that might caused even tho i reinstall a3 again in clean reinstall
umbral narwhal
@brittle terrace Nitrado is basically manual setup. You wanna find the RPT in the profile folder to figure out what's going on.
brittle terrace
Yeah I think I found what was happening
It didn’t like the spaces in the mod names but I still have some mods that the server isn’t liking for some reason
pine kite
Then you better define what "isn’t liking for some reason" means. As that isn't the same as an error message.
brittle terrace
It says “error local variable in global space”
pine kite
Could be a scripting error in one of those mods. Any more references to something to narrow it down?

recently, a glitch has been ruining my arma experience.
It is shown in the video, look in the left direction, halfway through you should see the traintracks, some foliage and the stone wall disappear and instantly reappear.
things to note:
This happens with and without mods and on all maps randomly, though I found some spots in which I could recreate it consistently(the one in the video)
I tried these things to fix it:
Verifying game files
Clean reinstall
Updating drivers
switching memory allocators
playing on autodetect/default graphics settings on different profiles
None worked.
I play on 2560x1440p and my rig is:

i7-12700kf
32 gb of ram
any help would be greatly appreciated.
golden nova
LOD issue maybe? Your hard drive or ram/vram is not keeping up with loading these assets in time and they pop up. Could be a faulty GPU drive. Or you have too high fov and you experience stuff that is supposed to happen outside your eyes.

While I cannot check rn, but why you're using 32bit of Arma 3?

RPT should tell x64 in the filename if it does

umbral narwhal
Launcher, parameters tab, set "platform" to 64-bit
Might just be running out of memory in 32-bit. VN is fairly chunky.
steady hawk
Yeah indeed RPT itself even told you that you're using 32 bit executable
Check Arma 3 folder and do you have arma3_x64.exe?
Unless you're using 32bit of Windows but I don't even know if Win11 even offers that
warm bronze
Check Arma 3 folder and do you have arma3_x64.exe?

well run the task manager while playing or get something with overlayed stats for convenience and try playing a few times to see if there's a pattern and what's the culprit. Maybe you have some faulty hardware in your pc. Or just the mission/mod you're using is bad.

Thermal paste applied too thick can still increase temps. The less the better, as long as it makes good contact between the surfaces. A tilted heatsink on a chip surface is detrimental.

Ok, yes, ACE has damage modifiers too I think for it's medical modifications. The latest version of ACE should have compatibility mods for RHS and maybe CUP included since version 3.16.something. Older versions needed compat mods loaded seperately.
So make sure you are not loading some modpack made by someone that threw all those mods on a pile in their own mod. As then they will be outdated.
