[merry glade]

using (totally not) funnys heads

[uncut trellis]

how are you playing?

[merry glade]

single player eden editor

[uncut trellis]

SP/MP/some mission from workshop

[merry glade]

no missions

[uncut trellis]

you would have to set your characters identity to one that has tattoos

[merry glade]

i did that

[uncut trellis]

but?

[merry glade]

it shows tattoos in the editor, but whenever i last used it it didnt when i played it

[uncut trellis]

are you trying to use some special character?

like Miller?

or just "basic rifleman"

[merry glade]

uhh, id have to get in the game and check, im letting my mods download since my pc was having a brain anurism

[merry glade]

special character i believe

had a puzzle beside it

[uncut trellis]

they likely overwrite the editor overwrite

when game launches

[merry glade]

ah, so thats why it wont work?

[uncut trellis]

puzzle piece would indicate something from a mod

[merry glade]

idk if it even works or doesnt, my game crashed so dealing with that atm

[merry glade]

correct

ill show a picture when im in game to further help

and ill also test to see if it works in the first place

[uncut trellis]

so that character/unit might be set up so that it dont work with the editor identity setting

[merry glade]

oh dang, thats sad

[uncut trellis]

try some vanilla basic rifleman or something like that as the initial unit

[merry glade]

alr

[uncut trellis]

and change the gear to reflect what you want to have

if the identity set works

[merry glade]

will do

[silver latch]

0xC0000005 STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION

Anyone got a fix for this, Cant do anything

[steady hawk]

The error itself tells nothing but “hey your game has crashed”

Things like what you've done, Mods, etc... line pinned post, is the thing you need to tell

[silver latch]

Ah right I see

I havent got any mods rn so I dont think its that

Want me to crash my game agin show you the whole report?

I dont even get a crash report now...

[steady hawk]

Good with a RPT

!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.

[silver latch]

I cant seem to get that Sqf bin to work

[steady hawk]

You can either just upload the file here or pastebin

[silver latch]

I think this is the right one

The first rpt towards the top

[steady hawk]

So is this a reproducible issue? Everytime you play KOTH?

[silver latch]

Every time

[umbral narwhal]

That's 32-bit Arma. Don't use 32-bit Arma.

[steady hawk]

That too

Especially if you have 32 Gigs of physical RAM

[silver latch]

Itl be this one then I think

[steady hawk]

It still is 32 bit

[silver latch]

I looked it up and it said to run it in 32 and administrator

[steady hawk]

Any particular reason to run in 32?

[silver latch]

Looked at a video mate honestly

[steady hawk]

What video?

[silver latch]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbVnlRsp5vA

^ It doesnt work btw

[steady hawk]

There is no one and only way to fix STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION. Don't rely on such video that doesn't state what exactly was the issue

Also don't -noLogs too

[silver latch]

Yeah never had this issue before, so wasnt too sure

Also why dont I seem to be getting crash logs anymore?

[steady hawk]

Because of noLogs?

[silver latch]

See maybe that would make sense

Imma try crash it again. see if I can get a proper log for you

[umbral narwhal]

That RPT kinda looks like you're missing some bits of model data, but I don't know what's normal for KotH

I'd do a steam verify on Arma though.

[silver latch]

That was the first thing I did and it was still having issues

[umbral narwhal]

Did you close the launcher first?

[silver latch]

Yeah

Just crashed it so lemme find that report

How do I know which rpt is the newest one

I think its this one

[umbral narwhal]

Just sort by modified date.

[silver latch]

It is that one the time lines up

[umbral narwhal]

Can I have one more x64 crash RPT?

Need to check if it's crashing in the same code each time, but x86 and x64 have different code.

[silver latch]

Crash my game again or find one from when my game was working?

[umbral narwhal]

crash it

[silver latch]

On it boss

One moment

[umbral narwhal]

Same location. Someone from BI will need to check the .mdmp.

[silver latch]

That sounds very complex

Would it be easier if I was to uninstall the game and reinstall it?

[steady hawk]

Uninstall and reinstall usually does nothing special

[silver latch]

Ah man, so what you two seem to be saying is that im royally fucked

[steady hawk]

Also are you sure it only does happen in KOTH?

[silver latch]

Does it to all servers

I can go into editor tho

[steady hawk]

All Arma 3 servers or all KOTH servers you mean?

[silver latch]

All servers

[steady hawk]

Okay I think I need to assume you mean all Arma 3 servers

You can't play on official servers too?

[silver latch]

lemme try one

yeah crashed

[steady hawk]

Then time to drop mdmp and sit patience I guess

[steady hawk]

It's RPT not MDMP

[silver latch]

I cant add that one as its over 50mb

[golden nova]

you can post it on the feedback tracker

https://feedback.bistudio.com/

[silver latch]

What do I do on there?

[steady hawk]

Or Google Drive or smth

[golden nova]

create a ticket, describe your issue, upload the mdmp as an attachment, that's how it is usually done

or what polpox said

[silver latch]

Google drive and drop it in this discord channel?

[steady hawk]

Drop the link yes

[silver latch]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1p50fpKBsfi2-I9zFFXhhps2AQVHjiH1S/view?usp=sharing

I really need to head to sleep, but thanks so much for helping me. I would have been completely lost and given up if it wasn't for you two.

[stoic anchor]

hey my options menu is invisible how do i fix it

[uncut trellis]

possibly problem caused by mods

[stoic anchor]

could be a possibility

I have ace3 installed

[uncut trellis]

probably something is wrong version/old

[sterile cove]

Do you know why I can't customize the addon option?

[steady hawk]

Usually caused if you have a lot of scripts can slow the game's script process so it can make such things slower

[steady hawk]

In what sense? What do you see/what you expect/what you got?

[sterile cove]

I can't edit "the mission's settings" is like obscured

[steady hawk]

Which screen you exactly mean?

[sterile cove]

It's weird. In the main menu I can't edit the mission settings and in the editor the ability to edit vcom disappears

Options>addon options>Mission

[steady hawk]

And are you in a mission? SP or MP?

[sterile cove]

I can't load, import, customize

[sterile cove]

No, in sp

[steady hawk]

Does a tooltip say something about it?

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1201732316293238854/1201736067808772147/IMG_20240129_203605.jpg?ex=65cae6ed&is=65b871ed&hm=91da913efb29041c94de9e95d67b1803ec5be532d5ca2a913c17003297b5eeb4&

Okay please don't rely on a DM when I'm not the only one who can answer

You say you can't import and causes this error? Well I'm not sure because I nearly nothing about CBA but how do you do that?

[umbral narwhal]

You can't edit CBA mission settings because they're stored in the mission and CBA doesn't have write access to it.

client and server you can edit directly, because those are stored in the profile.

[tough zephyr]

hey yall im havin issues with my arma 3

i cant see server lists due to it saying steams offline even though ive launched the game via steam

and secondly my battleeye just wont let me launch the game and keeps saying that its exited the game in a unusual manner

oh and the game wont launch without battle eye for some reason

[uncut trellis]

Ry verify game files through 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.

[inner hornet]

Session Lost - Verifying PBO failed cup_weapons_backpacks.pbo
makes no sense that it is not working
hasnt been updated in years
server and client has the same everything
What else could cause this?

Just got done talking to the CUP team, they said maybe try here

Works fine if I delete just this pbo off client and server

does not work with it on

all other cup pbos are fine

[quaint jewel]

error codes useless

[inner hornet]

Anyone got an idea? Got an op in 4 hours.

[umbral narwhal]

Data rotted on the disk, I guess. Server data doesn't matter btw. Message just tells you that the client data doesn't match the key.

[quaint jewel]

Physx hand grenade somehow has a F'ed physics geometry LOD.
During a building destruction.
Or rather.. doesn't have any mesh at all?
A physx grenade without a model?
I can't see which grenade it is in that dump. "SmokeShell" so a smoke grenade either hand grenade or UGL.
A full dump would tell which one exactly it is

[golden nova]

I have the 9 gig one but not sure if it's "the fullest" because I had to kill it through task manager to not brick my pc. I'll try to generate it once again if this one is not readable or something, gimme a sec

although it makes me wonder how can a sound mod trigger a grenade mesh-related crash, this does not occur if I don't run any of the sound overhauls

[quaint jewel]

If you can reproduce, you probably already know which grenade it is

Sound mods often modify configs. Maybe it breaks a config and the model entry doesn't work anymore

[golden nova]

thing is it's not me throwing it, it's during some AI battle in a scenario.

[quaint jewel]

RPT might tell about the missing model

[golden nova]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CjX5pX6vCjScZIzqbREOJJ8yK0YxAVqT/view?usp=sharing here's ze dump

[quaint jewel]

zip compressing it would've helped alot

[golden nova]

sorry, I got used to flex with my fast internet

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aUca2vejn1ASjI6nbvz008n9bgzL4jdZ/view?usp=sharing compressed, google shouldn't cut it into parts

[quaint jewel]

The other download is almost done. Just 2 minutes left

[quaint jewel]

Mh it refuses to open that.

Yeah all my tools refuse that file, seems broke

[golden nova]

I'll try to get the game to crash again later today and give Arma a bit more time to generate it then

[quaint jewel]

Arma will exit itself when the dump is done

[silver cypress]

this might be unrelated but Ive seen an RPT error regarding shotSmokeX shells, usually happens when theyre submunitions

it will complain that the model has 'zero mass' when it does have mass

[golden nova]

@quaint jewel https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IznuMGqF5GCo0RC7E3VM490GON55IPwC/view?usp=sharing this one should work now, Arma closed itself, it's compressed too

[lament flint]

so my scroll menu is appearing on my top left corner

happend out of no where and idk how to fix

[umbral narwhal]

I guess if you're running perf branch then setting -maxmem would put a cap on the full dump size.

[umbral narwhal]

Remove mods

[pine kite]

That, or dirt hiding in your mousewheel causing bad clicks.

[fringe salmon]

why every single time i try to play in person i keep getting the error file ace_tracers.pbo is outdated but yet when i go to look for that file it just like doesnt exsist

It looks like it’s an optional file in the ace folder so I went and deleted the optional file folder in hopes of fixing it

[umbral narwhal]

Paste your most recent client RPT.

[fringe salmon]

yeah bud ima need a tourtourial on that

lol

[umbral narwhal]

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Arma 3

AppData is a hidden folder so you may need to enable those.

[fringe salmon]

this?

[umbral narwhal]

Yes.

[umbral narwhal]

21:55:44 D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3\!Workshop\@ACE Tracers\addons\ace_tracers.pbo - 3.16.3.79

You are specifically loading a mod called ACE Tracers.

[fringe salmon]

wtf

hold on

im stupid

:/

[fringe salmon]

i really apreciate it brother sorry for my stupidity

[umbral narwhal]

you'll probably have another three similar errors after that.

Your modlist is a disaster zone.

22:00:37 [ACE] (common) ERROR: File ace_fieldmanual.pbo is outdated.
22:00:37 [ACE] (common) ERROR: File ace_irlight.pbo is outdated.
22:00:37 [ACE] (common) ERROR: File ace_advanced_fatigue.pbo is outdated.
22:00:37 [ACE] (common) ERROR: File ace_tracers.pbo is outdated.

[fringe salmon]

How do I fix those

[umbral narwhal]

Looks like you're running three different versions of ACE.

@Ace but EXTREMELY Based
@ace singleplayer
@ace

Might be more, that's just what I spotted.

[fringe salmon]

Because I’m trying to get rid of the advanced medical shit

And the based one removes it I think

[umbral narwhal]

That's possible but I don't know which version that's for, and the other two will definitely fight.

[fringe salmon]

Ok I’m loading in rn

Ima see if there is more issues

[patent kettle]

There's an official optional that disables medical.

[fringe salmon]

Where?

[patent kettle]

On our workshop.

[fringe salmon]

Link?

[umbral narwhal]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3053169823

[fringe salmon]

Ok

Thx

[patent kettle]

Load only that and official one. Not any shitty repackages

[fringe salmon]

Ok thank you

[fringe salmon]

should i use this one instead?

[patent kettle]

Do they look official to you? All our uploads are on acemod account.

[fringe salmon]

oh my bad

[fringe salmon]

my game just black screens now

[pine kite]

Since ACE 3.16 they have their own ACE No Medical submod. Load regular ace mod and make sure to subscribe and enable that Ace No Medical made by acemod team.

[fringe salmon]

i just did that

[pine kite]

Nevermind, I'm late

[fringe salmon]

yeah

[trail niche]

hey guys
a budy of mine has a bug : as a helicopter pilot, whenever he opens TFR menu or ACE menu, his chopper goes down
I did a bit of google search, and the only post I found about it is 3 years old, and the only solution it has is to use advanced flight model
when he does, the bug goes away, but he'd rather use the basic model
any of you has any idea how to fix it ?

(for more details, it hapens whatever the mission is, and the other pilots do not have this problem ; he does not use any extra mod than the others)

[weary sky]

Sounds like a keybind issue, where the heli controls are similar to what TFAR and/or ACE are using

[pine kite]

Same idea.

[trail niche]

he checked that, said it's not the case, that was my first guess

hum both use ctrl tho ... I'm gonna recheck

[weary sky]

CTRL is used in TFAR for radio and in ACE for interaction menu.
It's also the lower collective key for helicopters 🤷

[trail niche]

Yes you are right that's why I'll recheck with him tomorrow
But one thing seems odd, if it is the case then why would the advanced flight model works ?

• it would be pretty common for pilots to experience such a keybind problem and I hardly found anything on the net about it
  Plus none of the other pilots of the team told him about it or had the problem themselves

[fringe salmon]

Hey man after I turned off all of the ace mods other then ace and ace no medical my game will just go to a black screen forever like whenever i tried loading to the main menu it just went to an indefinite black screen

[uncut trellis]

best to first turn off all mods

then make sure game starts and runs

then add mods in small sets to see where it breaks

[fringe salmon]

😭

[quaint jewel]

You can move it in the Gameplay options. There is a thing for adjusting position and size of UI elements

[quaint jewel]

"SmokeShellVehicle" class
Inherits from "SmokeShell" "a3\weapons_f\ammo\smokegrenade_white_throw.p3d"
model= config entry, is indeed empty.

The normal vanilla A3 config code for that is

    class SmokeShellVehicle: SmokeShell
    {
        soundFly[]=
        {
            "A3\sounds_f\dummysound",
            0.1,
            1
        };
        effectsSmoke="EmptyEffect";
    };

Which means it would inherit the model, from SmokeShell.
A mod you have overrides it to be empty.

The only mod that edits it is "WarFXPE_Weps" from "@Bullets_Hit" mod.
I actually have a WarFXPE version laying around. Ref #warlords_discussion
And the version I have, doesn't edit that config.. So you have some broken Blastcore version loaded?

The config class SmokeShellVehicle. Has 3 entries. soundFly, effectsSmoke and model.
The first two are from vanilla. So really the only thing Blastcore adds to it, is to remove the model. Which crashes the game

[golden nova]

From effects side I have that Bullets_Hit mod and Photon VFX that might be somehow tied to either Blastcore or Real Engine but don't think that's it a broken version. And for whatever reason I get this error only when having AMZ Sounds loaded along, if I disable them while still having the effect mods loaded, I do not crash, tried this a couple times. So a coincidence?

[quaint jewel]

Well I wrote exactly what mod it is, down to the pbo.
And what config class the issue is. So open the mod and look 😄

If something sets model="" in there, thats bad

My Blastcore version that advertises itself to be "fixed of all the config errors/mistakes" doesn't do that in config. But yours does. 🤷

[uncut trellis]

good old overwrites 😅

[golden nova]

yeah removing bullets_hit seems to help. But I still wonder why I can run it but with no sound mods...

[uncut trellis]

maybe conflict with inheritances when 2 things edit same classes

both doing different things

[hard sleet]

Does anyone know how to fix 0x0000DEAD? I've been having it for a month now and I cannot play the game

I have uninstalled and reinstalled, doesnt change. I got no mods enabled

[golden nova]

!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.

[golden nova]

sometimes reinstalling a game doesn't make Steam download the missing files or libraries.

are you on win11?

[hard sleet]

Win 10

I've been told it is something with OneDrive

[steady hawk]

Disable OneDrive. As it's pinned

[hard sleet]

I did

but it doesnt do anything

I even removed onedrive

[golden nova]

and this?

[hard sleet]

Says nothing is wrong

I can try again now that I have reinstalled a second time

[steady hawk]

When it does throw the error? Any messages before the DEAD?

[hard sleet]

Yes

It is in swedish tho. But it says that there is some sort of issue with cloud storage

I'll try to get it again and translate word for word

[steady hawk]

Cloud File Provider something is always related with OneDrive

[hard sleet]

Yes

that is it

[steady hawk]

Make sure you REALLY disabled, restart your PC too

[hard sleet]

Ok.

[hard sleet]

It is I think

I unlinked it

I managed to fix it. I reinstalled Onedrive, unlinked it, and then deleted it again

Thanks for the help yall

[west barn]

having problems loading server with this anybody know how to fix?

[umbral narwhal]

@quaint jewel Getting a lot of server crashes on stable with a GM modset. Could you take a look?

[umbral narwhal]

That's a magazine from the Western Sahara CDLC.

[west barn]

Ah so I need to load up that? Is that a mod or expansion ?

[umbral narwhal]

It's a CDLC

expansion I guess? :P

How you load it depends on your server provider.

[umbral narwhal]

0x0000DEAD is Arma intentionally shutting down due to a previous error. That's the one you want to paste if you need help.

[west barn]

no chance u know what its from like vehicle or weapon?

[umbral narwhal]

Looks like a magazine for a fancy shotgun.

So probably not a vehicle :P

[west barn]

No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgMagazines.LIB_US_TNT_4pound_mag'.

sorted last item now got this anybody recognise this item?

is there a way to find it on server and get rid of it

[umbral narwhal]

LIB is IFA

[patent kettle]

it's not, it's IFA Liberation != IFA (Iron Front)

IIRC

[tribal cipher]

I really hope someone can help me out, im trying to make a simple convoy but my Ai Cars just refuse to move to my waypoints.. I tried different waypoints. I set them to save but nothing. Hope someone knows how to fix this!

[umbral narwhal]

Not sure what you mean. The stuff in IFA3 (Iron Front) all uses the LIB prefix.

[patent kettle]

Maybe I got it confused, but there was "second" ifa, mb

[umbral narwhal]

What's the setup? You have an editor mission with a car and a waypoint?

[tribal cipher]

yea, i just want my car to move along a road to then get ambushed by my squad. But when i start my mission the car just stands still and does nothing

[umbral narwhal]

And you spawned it with the stock driver?

[tribal cipher]

yea

[umbral narwhal]

Try moving the car slightly.

[tribal cipher]

i did in zeus. I also tried to set new waypoints in zeus but still nothing

it just refuges to do anything

[umbral narwhal]

hmm. There are a lot of ways to break AI driving but placing with stock crew generally works.

The driver's the only unit in his group?

[tribal cipher]

yea

[umbral narwhal]

And the waypoint's not really far away or on the other side of a bridge?

[tribal cipher]

nope just a couple hundret meters

[umbral narwhal]

have you ever got any vehicle to move?

Like plonk one down in zeus and right-click.

[tribal cipher]

yea in another editor session a hour ago

[tribal cipher]

wait i try

[tribal cipher]

Ok a lot of weird trying around and i somehow got it to work, i cant realy explain how but it makes sense in my head 🤣 still thanks for the help @umbral narwhal

[quaint jewel]

Can't see. Some bad string was passed to string compare. But can't see which, or from where it came

[silver cypress]

Yeah there's 'liberation' which is unaffiliated and it uses IFA3_ prefix... lmao

the LIB_ prefix in IFA3 is carried over from ironfront retail/standalone

[north spire]

Me again…. I am asking this place since it’s my last resort.

For the past couple months I have been getting access violation errors when I try doing couple of my units modlists enabled it worked out a few times 1 crashes at a time per op zeusing was a horrible time crashes happened after 20+ minutes tops. After awhile it happened to the point where it happens upon booting up Arma 3 with said mods and just CTD. I did a full factory reset and a fresh W11 reinstall on my pc and the problem still persists. Arma boots up fine without mods which sucks tremendously… I did a full scan on my PC hardware is fine memory is fine storage is fine…

This is my pc specs

GPU: 4090

CPU is i9 13900KF

Ram is 64 DDR5

I have 2 4TB m.2 devices…

I am at a complete loss on what to do and I fear I may just have to stop playing Arma 3 at this rate sadly.

[uncut trellis]

what is the exact error message you get

[golden nova]

!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.

[north spire]

I think I have that in my drop box somewhere.

[golden nova]

find this and post it here. If there's nothing, you might want to get an mdmp file and wait until a dev can browse it

but no matter what PC you have, shitty mods or shitty scripts will still make you crash, I assume you already tried running game with no mods and - another assumption - it works just fine, only with your "modpack" the process kills itself?

[north spire]

Yup basically.

Everyone else is fine with the mod set

I’ll have to get the file report once I am home, it happens upon start up now days.

[silver latch]

Hey ive had this issue for about 4 days now, and im not sure what to do, im also really bored without arma...
Every time I join a server it crashes, editor seems to be fine and official servers also crash.
Ive tried everything to fix it, Reinstall, run in admin, remove all mods, clean up on my PC. ect ect, however its the same issue

I have all the crash logs and mdmp if anyone wants to see. I really need my arma to work so I can continue on my videos and cinematics.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1HMlPcz48nEO_BCwu0V1QPH6TkJTcpkFS?usp=sharing - 5 Arma Reports.

If anyone can fix it I will be very grateful. Not having arma for days is a struggle

[uncut trellis]

What's the crash message?

[silver latch]

Its the status access one

I was told thats quite generic so I didnt mention it

[north spire]

Not the only one.

[silver latch]

Yeah That error code tho could mean absolutely anything.

[uncut trellis]

there are few listed in the unusual process exit wiki page (pinned messages) with some possible solutions

which can be tried out

if you got usb headset Id maybe try without that plugged in too.

[silver latch]

Nah ive had arma for years

This is just something thats randomly occurred

ive just come on aswell and it reminded me of another thing that whenever im not in a vic I am constantly doing different animations and I cant walk

[uncut trellis]

mods?

[silver latch]

No mods at all

Its really weird there isnt really a way to explain my issue

[uncut trellis]

try making new profile

in game

[silver latch]

I can give that a go

[uncut trellis]

also try deleting the animation cache

[silver latch]

How would I go about doing that

New profile seemed to stop it from crashing right away, Animations are still fucked tho

So maybe that animation cache could work

Nevermind I lied, it crashed

[uncut trellis]

best to post the crash files to BI bug tracker. They have means to see more closely what is the source off the crash

[silver latch]

How long do they usually take to respond?

Ive had one open since Tuesday

Just seems that all the other ones above mine get answered

[uncut trellis]

I dont really know. You can also post the link to the ticket here in case a dev who can look into it sees it at right time of the day 😅

[silver latch]

Where do you want me to put the link, just in this channel?

[uncut trellis]

yeah

[silver latch]

https://feedback.bistudio.com/T178786

That should be the one. Hopefull a dev comes through and sees it, cus im so extreemly bored

[uncut trellis]

🙏

[silver latch]

Thanks for your time tho mate, Much appreciated

[north spire]

Okay I am home but Sqbin link isn't working anyone have any other sites?

[uncut trellis]

pastebin.com

@north spire

[north spire]

Yeah doing it right now.

I am new to all of this sorry but, I got the info pasted what's next?

Am i doing basic rpt or some of the other ones?

[golden nova]

the goal is to show us the content of any latest RPT file to see if there's anything about these crashes.

[north spire]

Yes, but I am new to pastbin but I am having a hard time figuring out how to get a sharing link.

[golden nova]

paste the text, click "create new paste" button at the bottom, copy the link that you're on

[north spire]

Got it.

https://pastebin.com/gMJRCADP This is the basic so far.

[golden nova]

this one does not tell anything unfortunately

actual RPT should be in your %LocalAppData%\Arma 3, take the newest one. Also make sure you didn't have "no logs" enabled in launcher parameters because it does what its named

[north spire]

All righty

Yeah... I think I found the actual large RPT?

https://pastebin.com/89ghdchQ

The rest of the list is just long.. mods i guess?

[lament flint]

so one of my friends is have the Connecting Failed bug

and nothing they do fixes it

[golden nova]

just paste the whole file if this is only an exceprt

[north spire]

Theres a limit sadly.

Doesn't allowe me to share anytning.

[fringe salmon]

keep getting this error, no mods tried redownloading and verified game files

[uncut trellis]

it is a very common nondescriptive error but some possible solutions might be listed in the unusual process exit wiki page you can find in the pinned messages

If I host a LAN game in my Windows 11, my Windows 10 can see the LAN game name in Server Browser. If I host the LAN game in my Windows 10, the Windows 11 cannot see this LAN game name in Server Browser. Any tips?

[silver latch]

Most likely a porting issue.

Thats what its always been for me when doing that

[narrow nimbus]

Anyone here that uses project hatchet & boxloader? Looking for a fix to prevent creates from colliding with the helo when unloading

[narrow nimbus]

had this yesterday - port forwarded and allowed perms through firewall.

[stray ore]

Found the root cause, a eureka moment!! My Windows 10 Network Profile is "Public". And from its associated description, it said the PC is hidden from other devices on the network. When I check in the Network Profile the "Private" option, my Arma3 LAN hosting is now visible to my other Windows 11 laptop.

see 0xC0000135 - https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_Process_Exit#0xC0000135_-_STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND

[uncut trellis]

usually means your windows have some broken/missing part that you need to reinstall for the game to wrok

[hardy loom]

me?

[uncut trellis]

yes

common fixes are listed in the link in Lous message

[hardy loom]

okay

[abstract forge]

@hardy loom Did you try them?

Verify the integrity of the game cache using Steam.
Re-install DirectX.
Uninstall the Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable package (both x86 and x64 version), restart your computer and install the package again using this version (do not use the Repair function).
Run the Windows System File Check tool to repair corrupted system files.
To identify the precise DLL that is causing an issue.
Download a 64-bit version of the Microsoft Dependency Walker and open arma3_x64.exe with it. The libraries with a red icon are the corrupted ones.
Download a 32-bit version of the Microsoft Dependency Walker and open arma3.exe with it. The libraries with a red icon are the corrupted ones.

[hardy loom]

im reinstalling

[uncut trellis]

reinstalling what exaclty? 😅

[hardy loom]

everything

[uncut trellis]

thats not in the fix list

[hardy loom]

.

its fine 500mbs

done in 7 mins

[abstract forge]

Was that what stream thought was broken and unverified?

[hardy loom]

no im saying thats the download speed

[abstract forge]

Because there is an easy button to verify files

[uncut trellis]

these things in the circle are the known common fixes for that particular error

[hardy loom]

i know

[hardy loom]

did that

[uncut trellis]

if you do wrong things those wont help

[hardy loom]

this isnt wrong

it usually works with other games

for me at least

[uncut trellis]

the problem is not in the game files

[abstract forge]

You can do it your way but we’ve said what fixes it for Arma.

[hardy loom]

common fixes

no guarantees

[uncut trellis]

those are what cause the issue

[abstract forge]

They wouldn’t be given if they didn’t work

[uncut trellis]

you MAKE SURE THOSE WORK

then other ideas can be tried to figure out

if you dont listen to the help you are given

[hardy loom]

im doing that shi dw

[uncut trellis]

you will find no help here

[hardy loom]

love

im doing that

[hardy loom]

system file check doesnt work (the first step where im supposed to enter a command which opens a command window doesnt appear), integriy files dont work

how do i reinstall direct x

[uncut trellis]

you should be able to find the link to that in the wiki page Lou linked

[ashen marten]

so ive noticed using the faster.exe breaks the game in regards to building a server, but ive built one using steamcmd, and it runs and is in working order, but i cant for the life of me figure out how to add all my addons into the server

[hardy loom]

this is all to complicated i aint a computer wizard

i have no clue how to uninstall half the stuff

and reinstall it

[uncut trellis]

then you just need to follow the instructions

open this link

then click here

as starting point

then you can use google for help too

[hardy loom]

thats how to download

not uninstall

lovely it cant even run on my pc

[pine kite]

You are not supposed to be able to uninstall DirectX since Windows 8 or so I believe. Never the less, sometimes it breaks. But you can still reinstall it through that download/executable.

[hardy loom]

yeah like i said

it cant run on my pc

[uncut trellis]

cant run what?

[hardy loom]

i went to this link and installed all three files

[uncut trellis]

youre not supposed to install all of them

just the one that fits your computer

likely the x64 exe

[hardy loom]

alright it works

its installed

now what shall i do

[uncut trellis]

try if the game runs

[hardy loom]

with battleye?

[pine kite]

You can try either.

[uncut trellis]

with battleye

[hardy loom]

holy

its decending

Arma Reforger
To get started with Arma Reforger it is recommended to play through the tutorial, which provides a simple overview of the basic features of the game.

Arma 3
If you're new to playing Arma 3, it is recommended to have a read of #info_help_tips and especially the getting started guide (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Getting_Started).
Those resources will provide you with a good way to learn the basics of playing Arma 3 in both single- and multiplayer.

[pine kite]

It sure does

[hardy loom]

wait are you serious

this is how the game starts

[pine kite]

The bootcamp, yes.

[brave hawk]

play a bit, and you will realise what it is

[pine kite]

Don't argue with it, do what he says.

[abstract forge]

There’s a campaign to play, you’d learn a lot about vanilla Arma through that.

After that my experience with Arma has mostly been joining units for operations or finding servers for mp game modes like KOTH and warlords.

[old flame]

Hello people, I keep having a problem with arma 3, sometimes when playing on a server, when I collide with another another player, my arma just crashes, any ideas?

[abstract forge]

What did you already try?

[old flame]

Mmmm, playing with the graphic settings and parameters in launcher

Beyond that, not a lot

[uncut trellis]

probably some sort of weird mod bug

[safe basin]

I have an issue that appears to be client side only. and appears to effect a few people in my unit but not all. We will be playing for about 30-45 mins at around 20-30 FPS, but then slowly the FPS drops, until it hits about 1-2 and then the game crashes, if you are able to abort the mission and re-select your slot and get back in etc. it fixes the issue. for about 30-45 more mins before it happens again. I also noticed when this starts to happen trees and such will flicker in and out at the edge of the draw distance much more than ussual. here is my client side RPT file. I noticed some isntances of MovesType <SomeMove> load time" taking almost 2000 ms in some cases so wondering if that may be related also the reading map data from cache message. I honestly have no clue what could be causing it, which is why I am pretty desperate for some help. Maybe just need to remove LAMBS and then other mods one by one till it runs good, but yeah.

[umbral narwhal]

That's running out of memory.

[safe basin]

I have 64 gb of ram though, but maybe runnning out of video ram. Or maybe hard disk space?

[umbral narwhal]

Arma caps to 4GB by default. Either use -maxmem to increase or use the profiling build which has different rules.

[next zealot]

Is it -maxmem= or -maxMem= or either or

[golden nova]

doesn't matter

[crude swallow]

I can't find it

[hidden shore]

@crude swallow No its a windows setting, google how to increase your paging file size

How much ram do you have?

[crude swallow]

16GB DDR4 3200MHZ

[crude swallow]

I think I already done that for Tarkov actually

so I think this is in vain

I'll see

[hidden shore]

Setting that amount of ram in the arma properties might help too

[crude swallow]

yes I did but at the same time EFT is installed on my other drive

[crude swallow]

should I still do that although I removed the mod that caused it?

[hidden shore]

Its not a bad idea, but its unlikely the problem will continue if you dont use UIE.

UIE swaps the textures of all uniforms so it uses a fair bit of memory, the error just means that its out of memory, happens if you are in proximity to a lot of units

[crude swallow]

which is what happens

I dunno if to continue using it if I do what you're telling me to

[hidden shore]

What size is your paging file?

[crude swallow]

5 seconds ago it was nothing (on the drive I got Arma 3 installed) and now it's 16000-24000

same as my main drive

[hidden shore]

Oh, you dont need it on multiple drives

[crude swallow]

nvm I can't it says if I do I will overwrite something and it's a .sys file so it's a big no no

I'll doo 15000-16000 then

[hidden shore]

If you have an ssd put it on there, but you just need one paging file

[crude swallow]

actually I overreacted it would overwrite anyway

[crude swallow]

both my OS and seconadry drives are SSD

Arma 3 is on my secondary one

okay set it to 15000-24000

thank you

[hidden shore]

It doesnt matter where the files are, you just need a paging file somewhere on the computer

[crude swallow]

okay

[vapid whale]

ive put down a respawn point and set it up but whenever i start the scenario it says its disabled

[safe basin]

How sure should i be its a mem leak. I dont see any out of men logs in the rpt. Also some players necer have an issue while others do, and im sure we all have more than 4gb of ram

At this point ild be willing to like pay a consultant to come and help me make my shit performant. When i hop on say antistasi servers i get 60 fps. My ops i get like 20 or lower

[crude swallow]

The crashing is gone thank God and you but when I use UIE I still get the severe LOD

know why is that?

It's not as bad now it's the crashes I was concerned about but I like UIE and I don't get why is it like that now

also yes, they happen when my game lags a lot and with a lot of units nearby

I am testing this on one of my screw around missions in eden

[crude swallow]

seems like it affects everything as well

wait...

This is YOUR mod?

Yeah it shows you're the author, what a coincidence lol

[hidden shore]

Haha ya, very coincidental

[crude swallow]

Can you check and fix what's causing this?

It's only your mod that is the culprit in this situation

[safe basin]

Did you say its running out of mem based on my description or was there something in the rpt you saw indicating the problem?

[crude swallow]

you don't get DX11 OUT OF MEMORY issue?

[hidden shore]

Lack of memory is whats causing it, Its been confirmed and the fix with the paging file was added to the description of the mod a few weeks ago

[crude swallow]

if you do, press windows + x, go to systems, then advanced settings then in advanced tab you go on performance on the drive you got A3 installed on allocate around about 90% of your RAM (make it in like 15000 mb if you got 16gb)

[crude swallow]

the crashes have been fixed thank you for that

but the severe LOD

can you do anything about it?

and also changing texture quality out of the sudden

[hidden shore]

How many units are in proximity to you? And are you using the low preset in the cba settings for UIE

[crude swallow]

I don't remember a door texture being so smudgy 50 seconds ago
if you can't and it is really a memory issue then I understand

[crude swallow]

I don't even know there was a preset

all I know is I selected the 4028x4028 texture option

[hidden shore]

in the cba uie settings?

[crude swallow]

yes

[hidden shore]

Ya thats the problem

switch it to 1024

the description of the mod says that anything beyond 2048 will result in massive performance issues

[crude swallow]

I wish I read that ._.

damn it

Okay thank you very much

[hidden shore]

haha, now you know, mod descriptions often hold many answers ;)

[crude swallow]

I can keep using your addon then

[crude swallow]

shall I use it at 2048 then?

or you recommend not to?

[hidden shore]

give it a try, if its not performing very well then use 1024, I recommend 1024 as there is the smallest increase in impact compared to vanilla

[safe basin]

No what i need help with is i can play fine for about 30 to 45 mins then after awhile the game gets more and more framey. Then things off in the distamce will flicker a ton. Then fps drops to about 5 or so. If you abort and re select slot at this time it fixes it for another 30 mins or so. If not it drops to less than 1 fps. And gamr crashes. Sometimes its hard to even abort the game. You hit escape and it take about 1 min at least to open the menu. I have no idea whats to do or how to fix it other than alot of testinf and removing mods :(. Im thinking it may be lambs cause seems to happen when the AI "wakes up" or reacts to bluefor.

[safe basin]

This also doesnt happen to everyone. Some people never have a problem. Others do. So i figure its client side, but cant find the common thread yet

[hallow thunder]

hiya! i have a tiny problem where i cant scroll message history with page up/down no matter what i do, is there a way to rebind it maybe?

[worn sleet]

hello guys can someone expertised help me with a issues on UPnP please? dm me if u can i will be gratefull

[fringe salmon]

how do i disable fautige and stamina in ACE?

btw there is no advanced Fatigue option

WTF I JUST WANTED TO DOWNLOAD A MOD

[umbral narwhal]

Description. That's why the objects flicker in and out.

If you're having trouble with your mission but not Antistasi then that's not a great sign for your mission though. Non-vanilla Antistasi uses a lot of different assets and so has high memory usage.

Memory usage depends a lot on graphics settings, and some people run perf/profiling branch, so it's not unusual for only some players to have issues.

[timid oak]

Hello, I have a problem with my Arma 3 Tools, my interface has problems that prevent me from working

[umbral narwhal]

Looks like it doesn't like your dpi settings much.

[timid oak]

Ok, do you have the solution to fix this problem ?

[umbral narwhal]

Not really. Is this some sort of ultra-high resolution display?

[pine kite]

Do not increase the DPI screen size above 100%

[umbral narwhal]

You might be able to workaround it per-application.

Right-click, properties, compatibility, "Change High DPI settings".

[trail niche]

there is no ACE option to turn completely it off, use another mod for that

https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse/?appid=107410&searchtext=no+stamina&childpublishedfileid=0&browsesort=textsearch&section=

[fringe salmon]

well like when i go to virtual arsenal all my guy does is just constantly pant and groan even tho i have mods that disable fatigue and stamina

[trail niche]

no idea how to fix that, had that bug myself a couple times, not that much of a bother, and not sure it's ACE related

[fringe salmon]

like i just wanna create a person yk with the mf aggressivly panting

[hallow thunder]

boop

[golden nova]

what message history. The in-game chat?

[timid oak]

[hallow thunder]

yup

[timid oak]

Ok thanks you the problem is fixed

[worn sleet]

hello guys can someone expertised help me with a issues on UPnP please? dm me if u can i will be gratefull

[golden nova]

eh it's probably hardcoded. If you can't browse the messages then either you don't have the chat selected, you're using the streamer mode or have a mod that overwrites that functionality

[golden nova]

you can describe your issues here instead of reposting the same question, spamming it won't help you

[worn sleet]

well that s it man that s the issue

i have upnp enabled on my router

but it s still not working in game

i will send a picture rn

[uncut trellis]

then it wont work. try portforwarding

and make sure your internetconnection is compatible

[uncut trellis]

(as in of IPV4 type)

[worn sleet]

tried that too

it dosent work

i cant show the rest cause my ip is in there

but i can show the left side

[uncut trellis]

your ip does not matter

[worn sleet]

oh ok

[uncut trellis]

but you internet connection type

[worn sleet]

PPPoE

[uncut trellis]

yes well I dont think its shown in your router

its something how your internet service provider connects you

I dont know the details

!localhost

[rustic eagle]

Arma 3
To host a server or a game session locally, you need to make sure first that your WAN address / external IP uses the IPv4 protocol!
Check your router’s status page in the settings to confirm. (If in doubt, ask your ISP, Websites like “whatismyip.com” give you a false positive!)
Local servers and games can not be hosted on an IPv6 network, or IPv4 via DSlite tunnel!
https://www.avg.com/en/signal/ipv4-vs-ipv6
Once you have confirmed that your connection uses the IPv4 protocol, you need to manually open / forward the ports 2302-2306 UDP (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Dedicated_Server#Port_Forwarding)
See your router’s manual on how to do that, or ask google: “<your router model> + port forwarding”

[uncut trellis]

the first link should explain it

[worn sleet]

so UPnP

it s out of the list right?

even though i have it enabled

[uncut trellis]

no thats no it

[worn sleet]

i am soo dumb funded with this

[uncut trellis]

this stuff

[worn sleet]

OH

my bad

shit

ok i will read the first link and will try to do it if it dosent work i will be back here, i know you dont want me too be back here but you are the only guys that can help me out

[uncut trellis]

no no we do try to help

it just may be we cant be of assistance

if your connection is not the kind that can host

[worn sleet]

so if it s not IPv6 IPv4 what can it be hosted on?

[uncut trellis]

if its not IPV4

IPV6 cant

only true IPV4 can

[golden nova]

you need a static ipv4 address. Either call your ISP and ask if they can set it for you/you can buy it for a (monthly) fee, otherwise you can use VPNs like Hamachi/Radmin or buy a hosting

[worn sleet]

hamachi is used for LAN hosting right?

[golden nova]

yup, it's lan over vpn

[worn sleet]

i tried that too=)

connected with my friend on the same hamachi server, created a lan server but it didnt popped up for him

he couldnt see it

[golden nova]

maybe try radmin instead of hamachi, the former received less complaints in my group

[worn sleet]

ok but when i install it i need to do something with the firewall to let the connection go through or something?

cause we never did that on hamachi either

[golden nova]

I never had to touch either firewall or windows defender when I hosted through radmin

just create a network, have your friend join, host a server without enabling upnp and it will show up in the LAN tab.

[worn sleet]

ok

[golden nova]

I think there are youtube tutorials for it too.

[worn sleet]

i will try that tommorow i guess, too late today

ye i watched all of em with upnp/hamachi

i will check radmin too tommorow

thanks man! hope it works

[fringe salmon]

So I bought arma 3. Played for some time today then closed the game and now im trying to join a server and this keeps coming up.

I joined a different server and it works now?

[pine kite]

Not for that short cut. But perhaps the actual executable. I don't know where that is located, but it must be somewhere.

[pine kite]

Only the 2nd one is strictly needed. I don't know if you have a teamspeak server or something that needs one of them. But whatever other ports that are commonly mentioned are actually outgoing data. Those don't need to be port forwarded.

[pine kite]

Probably yes. But best is to look up the documentation for Hamachi itself.

[opaque marsh]

Hi All.

I've setup BattlEye on my Liberation server with RCON via BEServer_x64.cfg
It seems to be all okay and my RCON can log in just fine.
However none of my clients nor I can actually connect to the server, it comes up with BattlEye Initialization Failed.
Looking at my RPT for both my client and server it seems to be a generic ish error.

Does anyone know BattlEye?

[umbral narwhal]

Is the server free to send outgoing traffic to battleye ports?

[opaque marsh]

Yes

[umbral narwhal]

I recall people having trouble connecting with battleye due to timeouts but that should work situationally.

You have the full Arma port range open? One of those ports is battleye specific.

[opaque marsh]

I don't think it's timeouts, as it happens nearly instantly.
The BattlEye port is 2306 according to the Dedicated Server page which is open to the server

[umbral narwhal]

I assume the clients are loading battleye...

[opaque marsh]

Yes

I can connect to other servers with BattlEye

Just not my own

Which makes me know it's a me issue

But where 😅

[umbral narwhal]

What did you set the RCON port to?

(just checking it's not overlapping with Arma ports)

[opaque marsh]

2301 (Default BE RCON)

I've set my unmodded test server to 2401

Same issue

RCON can connect just fine, but not clients :/

[umbral narwhal]

There are two servers running on the same machine?

[opaque marsh]

Not currently. But typically there would be.
We've gone down to one server after wanting to get BattlEye implemented

[umbral narwhal]

Out of ideas anyway. Knowing Arma there are some gotchas that a handful of people know and everyone else dodges by luck and/or cargo culting.

[opaque marsh]

All well.

Thanks for your help anyway mate, I appriciate it 🙂

[umbral narwhal]

Repost in #server_admins anyway, maybe you get lucky.

[opaque marsh]

Warning Message: No entry '.rcc_recoil22f'.
Warning Message: '/' is not a value

Can someone give me an answer how this error is getting created ? I assume a config trys to inherit without having access ?

[steady hawk]

A faulty Mod/config does. Can't tell what does this from this very limited line of error

[ornate leaf]

nobody has an answer for it

I have to know what causes it so I can fix it xD

[steady hawk]

You may want to figure what is RCC here

Or just check the pinned, cut the Mod list half and see if it does

[ornate leaf]

I know what mod it is

[scarlet saffron]

Recoil Coefficient Changer

there you go...

[ornate leaf]

That dosent fix the problem

Im trying to fix the problem in the config

I actually have an idea

[safe basin]

Well the anti is anither mod pack. But other than lambs, and hatchet mod most other things are either small, or just cosmetic.

[steady hawk]

Small or cosmetic or something don't mean it cannot consume your hardware

[umbral narwhal]

Yeah, worst common mod for perf is Bloodlust.

[pine kite]

Is your server located at home? Behind the router? If then, did you also port forward UDP port 2306?

[opaque marsh]

Hi. Yes I did

[pine kite]

And also open in the firewall for incomming?

[opaque marsh]

I sure did

[pine kite]

Ok, then I am out of leads.

[opaque marsh]

Ah damn

[safe basin]

I was wondering. if I posted my mission and my mod pack would any one be willing to help me find ways to make it more performant or to avoid big lag spikes etc. I know its alot, but I feel like my missions are always non performant and I don't know why exactly

[umbral narwhal]

How many AIs and vehicles do you have in your mission?

[woeful marten]

would the fulldump of a replicated crash be helpfull? i had replicated the crash locally but according to john there is surprisingly nothing in our verbose logfile that would explain it. I would send it to you but it's 12 Gb or so large

[quaint jewel]

7z pack it, it compresses quite well.
I don't know

it could. The dump I got ended a bit too early.. earlier than I would expect, as if something else is corrupted.
A full dump might corrupt at the same spot and not tell me any more

[safe basin]

Let me see if I can pull a screen shot for you here shortly

[umbral narwhal]

uh

You're going to make me count dots in your screenshot? :P

[safe basin]

Well should give you a rough estiame, but I can also give a count as well once I get in there, its less than 100 though I am pretty suire

[umbral narwhal]

I sent a zip with three dumps. Did they all have the same issue?

[woeful marten]

but they where all from the server i got some from localhost with profiling branch

[quaint jewel]

Don't remember. Probably

[safe basin]

So I counted and I have roughly 200 units, about 30 of them are loaded into a truck however, also have a few civilain presense mod spots as well each with a max of 5 civs set to spawn. is that like way too much to have loaded at once?

Wondering if there is a way I need to set things up such that units only spawn when player is within a specific distance perhaps?

and if 200 at once is too much, whats like the standard ammount one should be aiming for in terms of number of units on the mission at once.

also maybe 10 unocuipied vehilces I didn't count as well

[woeful marten]

uploading the dump will take me a couple of minutes

[umbral narwhal]

I dunno, 200 isn't bad. Antistasi can certainly go higher.

Although Antistasi also blocks Lambs :P

[safe basin]

right I am worried Lambs in the issue, and I guess I can try a mission without it. just wish there was something i could find in the logs pointing to the issue, but nothing has shown yet.

cause it seems to get worse when the AI "reacts" or "wakes up"

[umbral narwhal]

That's generally true.

[quaint jewel]

Getting back to work will take me half a day

[woeful marten]

the zip is 2 Gb large dm you the link or drop it here in channel as i uploaded it to my own nextcloud?

[quaint jewel]

[tardy pawn]

is someone know what can cause the cracking sound from this video ? We are using latest TFAR beta
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VE0IKUf9dM&

[golden nova]

not sure what tfar has to do with it. It's either JSRS or Dynasound audio bug, I rarely get it when driving or being close to certain vehicles, mostly vanilla pickups. There's also a chance your audio card got fried a bit.

[ocean cosmos]

never had it running dynasound

[quaint jewel]

It could be incoming TFAR transmissions and somehow the beep/boop files are corrupt?

[pine kite]

There are 3 pops at the end. Not sure if those are gunshots in the distance. But if you want to get any meaning full answer, show us your mod list.

[stray ore]

Issue is: If not video recording, my gun's firing sound is ok. But when during recording, my gun's firing is muted whereas all the rest sounds are ok.

[distant frost]

Hello !
Ive made a host antistasi server for myself yesterday now i cant find it in servers not on internet neither on recent any tips ?

[uncut trellis]

where/how did you make it?

[distant frost]

Just in the launcher host server with a vid of soldiergaming

[woeful marten]

if you do it with "Multiplayer" --> "Host Server" then your Local Client is the Server, there is no Server anywhere Setup, Savegames are also saved locally. If you want to continue your game just open the Server again and load the save

[distant frost]

Oke thank you verry much man ive searched for ages and joined just my regular server instead

[pine kite]

Yeah, set the server to LAN and then you can play Antistasi (The Mod) as mp session. No need for other networking stuff.

It becomes trickier if you want others from the internet to join you.

[vapid whale]

im trying to play the direct action mission with INDIBI2 but im just stuck on "sending data" and theres a no entry error that i cant close, these errors have always popped up for every other mission but havent ever broken anything but for this mission its impossible to close the error https://imgur.com/a/b8l9yhk

[uncut trellis]

you may be missing some required mods or got some broken mod

[umbral narwhal]

@quaint jewel Re the vest-on-head crash, we're using setUnitLoadout.

[woeful marten]

i kinda like that name 😅

[stray ore]

I'm getting "No entry: bin\config.bin\CfgWorlds/Chernarus_Winter.description" after I added mods "3CB Faction" together with "New Esseker" map. Prior to that, I don't have this problem with "3CB Factions" mod. Any tips?

[uncut trellis]

whatever has chernarus_winter has broken config

[stray ore]

how to check who has chernarus_winter? On its own, "3cb factions" is fine. But now, "new esseker" has this issue. Prior to mixing these two, both of them are fine

[uncut trellis]

could be something related to new esseker since its map config

[stray ore]

Yes, I believe so. It feels like it. I click repair, the prob still there

[uncut trellis]

yeah its some sort of config conflict that reapair wont fix

[stray ore]

An unsubscribe will auto-delete the files in hard drive, right?

Seems like, "new esseker" has reputation of bugs like this. I should have pick the "esseker fixed"

[uncut trellis]

should

[vapid whale]

it only happens with this mission

[lime swift]

Hi, I just can't join servers without the launcher

When I try to join a server it gives me an error if it's via the game. However, when it's via the launcher, it works

And I can't host

I've already contacted support and done their solution but it still doesn't work

[uncut trellis]

you cant join servers with different modlists loaded at least

so joining through the launcher is recommended so it can set up stuff to load for you

[lime swift]

That's not really the problem, because in all my hours it's done this to me overnight.

[uncut trellis]

what the error you get?

though we here might not really know any more than what BI support knows

[lime swift]

I'll tell you when I've launched my game I'll try it in a few minutes.

But the support suggested this:

"Hello,

these might seem obvious, but please make sure that:

1. You have software firewall turned off or have correctly set up an
   exception for both Steam and the game.

2. You run Steam as Administrator:

1. Exit Steam.
2. Right-click on Steam icon.
3. Left-click on "Run As Administrator".
4. If the problem persists, reboot your computer and try the procedure again.

If none of this helps, please send us the following:

The dxdiag report of your computer for checking
(no sensitive personal information will be collected):

1. Press WinKey + R.
2. Type 'dxdiag' (without the quotes).
3. Press Enter.
4. In dxdiag window, click on 'Save All Information' button.
5. Send me the resulting file as email attachment.

The msinfo report of your computer for checking (no sensitive personal
information will be collected):

1. Press WinKey + R.
2. Type 'msinfo32' (without the quotes).
3. Press Enter.
4. In MSINFO window, click on 'File' in the upper menu.
5. Click on 'Save' button.
6. Send me the resulting file as email attachment.

And your RPT file:
Press WinKey + R and paste this directly into the window that appears:
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Arma 3

then press Enter. You should be taken directly to the folder where arma 3 RPTs
are stored. Please reproduce your issue and send us the latest RPT file.

Please send these 3 files in one message and do not zip/rar them.

Best Regards,"

[uncut trellis]

have you sent the rpt logs for them to look?

[lime swift]

yes :

"Hello,

please unsubscribe from all mods on Steam Workshop and try clean reinstallation
of Arma 3:

1. Uninstall the game.
2. Download and install CCleaner (https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner) and
   scan/fix your registry.
3. Make a backup of Arma 3 folder in Documents.
4. Delete both Arma 3 folders in Documents and Steam:

\Users*YOUR USERNAME*\Documents\Arma 3

\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3

5. Reboot your PC.
6. Run Steam as Admin, download the game.
7. Try to run Arma 3 (without mods).

This should fix your issue.

Best Regards,"

(his answer)

and I did it but nothing

[uncut trellis]

Id suppose you can share your latest rpt here too in case someone spots anything

and the error you get

but Id suppose those are the basic steps to take

[lime swift]

yes

a lot of people say it's about the connection or the ports, but I haven't changed anything and it used to work

[uncut trellis]

if its router ports, then your ip on the router might change and portforwads get lost

etc

so could look into that too

[lime swift]

So when I join a server I get a load (with a picture of a vanilla map) with the menu noises staying in the background and "connection failed."

[lime swift]

I don't understand the connection port system

[uncut trellis]

for hosting we have following guide

!localhost

[rustic eagle]

Arma 3
To host a server or a game session locally, you need to make sure first that your WAN address / external IP uses the IPv4 protocol!
Check your router’s status page in the settings to confirm. (If in doubt, ask your ISP, Websites like “whatismyip.com” give you a false positive!)
Local servers and games can not be hosted on an IPv6 network, or IPv4 via DSlite tunnel!
https://www.avg.com/en/signal/ipv4-vs-ipv6
Once you have confirmed that your connection uses the IPv4 protocol, you need to manually open / forward the ports 2302-2306 UDP (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Dedicated_Server#Port_Forwarding)
See your router’s manual on how to do that, or ask google: “<your router model> + port forwarding”

[uncut trellis]

just joining servers should not requrie anything special

[steady hawk]

@gloomy summit

[gloomy summit]

Ohh

[steady hawk]

Just use this channel for A3 troubleshooting

And reinstall Visual C++ 2013 and DirectX

Thanks for the information, it worked

[final rose]

hi, sorry if this is in the wrong channel but on our server we had the yellow dot on left click in the map disabled, now we want to re-enable it but cannot find the string/command, etc. Just curious if anyone knew?
UPDATE: i have since learned this is an ACE option - i know non vanilla but any help would be appreciated

^ feel free to @ me or reply

[steady hawk]

What do you mean by "yellow dot" and "map disabled"

[final rose]

when in server we used to be able to single left click and hold down when in map and a sort of cursor would show

we had since disabled this feature and cant re-enable it

[void swallow]

Verify your addon options have ACE map pointing enabled

[final rose]

yeah, i feel stupid... i was looking into this for my unit under the presumption it was a vanilla thing (too much time playing modded)

as soon as i went into settings it clicked in my head

sorry for taking up time and thanks for all the help

[olive depot]

Any ideas what may cause this error?

[upbeat spire]

Try repairng your zeus enhanced mod on launcher.

[olive depot]

strangely enough though, I've just noticed zeus enhanced isnt loaded in the preset? I'll give it a go either way

[olive depot]

yeah didn't work unfortunately

if it helps, this is the preset I've been having trouble with. Only effects this preset too...

[ocean cosmos]

are you actually trying to load zen

[olive depot]

no, I'm not

wait, forgive my ignorance, but what is zen again?

*edit - like what function does it even add over the vanilla zeus?

[steady hawk]

This?

[olive depot]

It's not loaded

and I don't believe that any of the mentioned mods require it

``` this is the error that is giving him but i dont see zen loaded witch is wierd by some other mod is using it.

[olive depot]

could it be one of the pose mods?

[upbeat spire]

You have a local mod: Surfaces AIO myb is that what is adding it.

[steady hawk]

I haven't and couldn't check your preset rn but it said one of PBO/Mods require what you don't have. Try to remove half of your preset and see if it does, like pinned. Or, just look up your "local" Mods

[olive depot]

That's just a ground surface texture mod, dw, that's not the cause.

I shall trouble shoot until I find the cause. Cheers for your help fellas

[upbeat spire]

i mean you could just load Zeus Enhanced and Zeus Enhnaced ace compact and see if it gives you the error 😄

[olive depot]

Yeah I booted the game a few minutes ago to test that, and indeed it works, but it's just strange because I've never had that error on this preset until recently.

All's good

[steady hawk]

Same preset never means same content forever

[olive depot]

true, most on this list are dead mods though, so my guess is that maybe one of the newer ones had an update, and the author didn't link zen under dependancies?

[steady hawk]

No clue

One thing I can say is don't run Mods you don't need or don't know what it does

[quaint jewel]

Can you link the code that builds the loadout array?

[pine kite]

There is tactical ping, which can be disabled in dificulty options. So your presumption was waranted. It just doesn't look like a yellow dot, but more like a marker with small orange circle in it I believe.

[pine kite]

If it is not loaded, then scripts in the mod cannot be found, obviously.

[north spire]

Think I fixed my issue, did a fresh OS install increased the memory limit in the game and it boots up just fine with mods enabled.

[umbral narwhal]

Sure, but I don't see why you'd want to read it:
https://github.com/official-antistasi-community/A3-Antistasi/tree/unstable/A3A/addons/core/functions/Templates
The author of the broken faction put a vest in a helmet array so the code was just following that.

[crude harness]

how i fix this?

[uncut trellis]

some mod is broken

disable mod that causes the error

preferably also report error to the mod maker for fixing

[silver cypress]

arma fxp

[wicked lichen]

All the unit invites show as expired links for me in #communities_arma3. Would someone have suggestions for how to fix this?

[crude harness]

anyone knows why arma spawns different soldiers than it shows

[uncut trellis]

is it always or is it random?

mods can have mistakes in them

[crude harness]

it is always

[uncut trellis]

probably just a mistake in the mod

wrong picture on wrong unit

[crude harness]

it is like on 10 factions spawns this exact skin

[golden nova]

3CB factions works exactly like that

[vapid whale]

im using the INDIDBI2 mod with direct action but whenever it autosaves it just says "write failed data is empty" any ideas?

[vapid whale]

3CB factions has its own random loadout system

it shows up as a default unit in the eden editor but when you load in it randomizes the loadouts

[uncut trellis]

sounds like such error could mean its not set up correctly. Id recommend asking the maker of the mod for info on what it means though

[indigo bridge]

@crude harness that indeed doesn't sound correct. It could be a mod conflict. I'd suggest trying it again with just 3CB Factions, cba_a3 and the RHS dependencies and see if the issue remained. Although we use a 'stock' unit for each faction that first appears in Eden, the loadout of the unit is randomized at mission load so that the units will be similar but different. The eden preview image is likewise a snapshot of that randomization so won't always match the final unit you see in the mission but it will be similar. However, 10 factions should not be showing that exact skin.

The issue ONLY happens if the name has a number infront. With an arma 3 unit i'm in, my name is 2LT R. Kartsa. However, that chosen as the default on to start with, it just creates a profile called just "2LT".

This doesn't happen with for example if the name is "SGT R. Kartsa"

I am getting an error : shaders not valid (mismatch of exe and data?) is there an easy fix for this?

tried deleting CFG file and re-launching hasnt worked for me

currently re-validating cache but cant find any 'fix' that doesnt require re-downloading 112gbs

[umbral narwhal]

You mean validating Arma?

If that thinks it needs to download 112GB then something has gone badly wrong with your install.

[trail niche]

Arma is more or less 40 GB, so validating Arma even in the worst case wouldn't need to download 112GB
isolate the one mod that throws the error, and if you don't have any try to validate Arma files

[north spire]

Right… Still getting the access violation error after everything I have done…. Right now I have the crash logs up and there’s multiple rpt logs I am wondering which ones do I need to share?

[drowsy gale]

Trying to load onto a mission and getting a error saying the server is missing "compositions_a3" does anyone know what mod this is

Our server guy didn't key a mod and we don't know which one

[north spire]

I don't know what to do anymore...

My error is the access violation thing and I don’t know what log to post here

[umbral narwhal]

Is this a crash immediately on launch, or some time later or what?

[north spire]

As of right now little in. I can get past the mian menu and join my unit operation but it just CTD after a few moments.

This is what I have in the reports and dumps.

Was told to use the allocator but IDK if that's the case

This is my specs if it helps at all.

[umbral narwhal]

General troubleshooting rule is to untick everything from parameters.

Setting system memory limit might be required in some cases but not if you're crashing that early.

[north spire]

I’ll try that I guess, right now I am running windows memory diagnostic test

[meager jolt]

Hey y'all, relatively new user, still getting comfortable with the massive array of controls. I'm having a problem with what I think is called the "High Command" mode, in what I think is a specific context:

TLDR - downloaded a few mods that run with IFA, primarily got into Arma 3 to do WW2 milsim stuff. I unpacked a PBO of a Steam Workshop scenario that I was interested in messing with. When I test the scenario, I find that I can only control the squad that is originally attached to me, and I cannot seem to control anyone through High Command controls when looking at the map.

Totally new to many of these systems so I may have messed something up. Any feedback?

[umbral narwhal]

High command is something that needs to be set up specifically by the mission.

[meager jolt]

Yea I gather that you have to link some things together. The initial state of the scenario in Eden Editor shows 4 infantry squads and a single vehicle that are all subbed to the high command module attached to the player characterb

[umbral narwhal]

You pressed ctrl+space to switch command modes?

[meager jolt]

I was also having an issue with that. I noticed that that key combo didn't seem to do anything. I saw that the "app button" (windows button I assume) also engages command modes

When I press that key, the reticle in my center screen turns into a red circle, but doesn't seem to do anything beyond that

I downloaded C2 in an attempt to work around the issue but I didn't get any further, so I disabled that add-on so that I can focus on troubleshooting the vanilla command mode

[umbral narwhal]

That sounds like you're running ACE?

Do you actually get a visible command bar at all?

Like the units in your squad listed at the bottom left.

[meager jolt]

No

And yes I am running ACE

I'm about to open it back up and see what I can do. Should I peruse the ACE settings?

I'm specifically running ACE single player

[umbral narwhal]

winces

whatever. ACE turns the command bar off by default. You need to turn it back on in ACE settings. Somewhere.

[meager jolt]

Just did, gonna give it another shot

[north spire]

Did That, was in Rene and editor creating a fort and accidentally spawned in a big prop and the game CTD..

Now it’s CTD every few mins now.

What logs do I need to put into paste bin to show you guys?

[hidden wasp]

So I came across an issue recently.

ARMA 3 isn't letting me change my profile name any longer, and when I go to just edit the file and do it that way (as some articles suggest) it says the folder is in use / open in another program (and yes, this is with ARMA closed / not running).

Anyone have any experience with this issue before?

[golden nova]

do you hhave OneDrive enabled?

[hidden wasp]

I don't know - possibly.

Could onedrive be why?

[golden nova]

it backs up Documents folder causing issues with Arma, and not being able to edit that stuff is one of them

either disable backing up of Documents or just get rid of the app

[hidden wasp]

Checking to see if that resolved it - will advise.

[umbral narwhal]

That one doesn't even get to the mod table, and you're loading a giant pile of mods including banned stuff.

[north spire]

I'm sorry for all of this I am just trying to find out where in the notes I am supposed to look I don't mean to break any rules here.

[umbral narwhal]

The logs won't usually tell you much about crashes. Even when they're complete.

[uncut trellis]

youll need to submit the crash log and minidump to the feedback/bug tracker so BI tech people can take a look

only thing we can perhaps advice on is the crash message you get

[umbral narwhal]

I'd usually suggest narrowing down the crash first, like checking whether it triggers without mods.

[opal snow]

can i ask about dedicated server problems here?

[golden nova]

yeah but usually it's best to figure out dedicated server issues with your dedicated server provider

[opal snow]

hmmmm maybe i worded it wrong

not a problem with the server itself, but mods

i'm trying to use a few mods but it says the keys are bad

specifically this

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2996651194

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2673284246

and this one

[north spire]

Yeah, I did that just now, I am not expecting to hear back tbh.

[golden nova]

assuming you are 100% sure the keys of the mods and ones on your dedi are okay, then then the signatures were generated for a badly-made mod and it's up to the author to fix that

or you can play with no signatures
