[fathom mountain]

Perfect

[pine kite]

Yes, Search in Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\107410 for folders with files that have "ace" in the filename. Only one folder named 463939057 should have the real ACE in it. If there are others then you need to verify if the mod is based on ACE, or have a copy of it inside.

[fathom mountain]

I have many mods that depend on Ace

[pine kite]

But lets assume you don't have a stowaway ACE mod.
Unsubscribe from ACE in Steam. Make sure the launcher and the game is shut down. Then shutdown Steam too.
Delete that Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\107410\463939057 folder and resubscribe in Steam. The launcher should then get the proper ACE new.

If you can still not get the correct version number of ACE then I suspect you have a stowaway ACE mod inside another mod.

[fathom mountain]

Hold on

[fathom mountain]

Ok. The issue still remains. I did what you said. I even went as far as unsubscribing all of my mods to make sure nothing interferes with the process but it was all in vain.

[pine kite]

Sorry, I don't know what else can be done. Maybe the people of ACE can help in their forum/discord/website/whatever.

[umbral narwhal]

Sometimes it's tricky to get steam to update a mod properly. ACE don't have any control over that.

Best to figure out which end (server or client) has the old/broken version first anyway.

Two recipes that sometimes work are deleting the actual mod data and restarting steam.

[worldly knoll]

Has anyone else had issue with "Disable AI" (disable AI in playable slots) in MP causing empty vehicles to be deleted?
I have a mission that when tested in editor in singleplayer has no issue, but when in multiplayer (editor or an exported mission) it deletes certain empty vehicles if slots aren't filled / if units are culled by disabling AI taking playable slots?

[silk loom]

So Arma crashed in a SP scenario and my frames went from above 70 to around 30. Has anyone ever encountered this?

And it just crashed again lol

[golden nova]

any mods?

[silk loom]

Lots. Most are cosmetic add ons like camo packs. I have some effects mods and ai mods too. Ace to top it off. Total of around 45 mods.

[hollow sonnet]

hi I'm wondering if anyone can help me, I've made a liberation server and trying to add Zeus, and change the zeus_synchro.sqf but when I log into the server it don't show the squad leader and shows a bunch of things that fail, how do I fix this issue and comes up with, You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted. ace_explosives, USAF_ServiceMenu, ace_sitting,emr_m

[golden nova]

does it crash with no mods?

[silk loom]

Nope

Im 90% sure its a mod issue but i cant tell which ones cause it

Also i have lots of drive space so it cant be my pc

[golden nova]

ok, find your RPT file and upload it here or on pastebin and share a link

!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://pastebin.com/ (Set expiry time to 1 week or less) 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.

[golden nova]

ofc the one that was generated when you crashed

[north spire]

So I have turned on the option of closing the arma 3 launcher when I trying to record with the new steam clip feature, it used to work but now its back to having it with no sound. Anyone else getting this issue again?

[silk loom]

How to find rpt file? I cant find it the traditional way

[golden nova]

it says in the bot message

[silk loom]

i know the date says 23 but i had it on overnight.

also i have no logs checked

in settings

[golden nova]

you shouldn't if you want to debug

anyway there is soemthing here Fault address: 1E75E926 01:0003D926ll C:\WINDOWS\system32\XAudio2_7.dll

change the sound quality to 44.1khz and see if it helps. if it doesn't then it's some audio mod broken probably

[silk loom]

Thanks, how do i change sound quality? i will send in a rpt with logs

[golden nova]

Windows -> Sounds -> select the sound output and there should be an option to change the sound format

[silk loom]

48 khz is thr only option

[golden nova]

then it might be something wrong with your audio drivers, I assume you're playing on a laptop and they have their own "quality" drivers blocking anything else

what about ditching sound mods

[silk loom]

Heres a rpt with logs unchecked

I do have a lenovo laptop so that could be it

Enhanced soundscape could be whats causing trouble. Doesnt ace also alter sounds though?

[golden nova]

I would start from ditching @Improved Game Sounds and @Death and Hit reactions, and maybe the AI voice control system just in case

also if you have an mdmp file there you can send it to Dedmen so he can look into it tomorrow and perhaps he could be more specific about the issue, it cannot be read without proper tools and rpt isn't as detailed

[silk loom]

Alright thanks. I have the mdmp file

[golden nova]

I recall experiencing some crashes (with vehicle sounds I think) when using either AMZ, JSRS or Dynasound and I fixed it through changing the sound format to 44.1khz. Not sure how can this be changed on your laptop, maybe Google would help or writing to the manufacturer

But it never made the game just not start, only after a specific object played a specific sound.

from what I see Improved Game Sounds is just repacked JSRS with some edits, so it may be the culprit being incompatible with 48khz

[silk loom]

Funny thing was i was doing combined arms stuffs when randomly the game dies.

[golden nova]

load the game without those sound mods and let me know if it happens again

until you switch to 44.1 it may be the only solution

[real moon]

Don't know if this belong here, but I've recently been having an issue with ACE involving AA launchers. Basically I can't get a lock on anything with any launcher that has an AA overlay like the vanilla titan. Do the AA launchers work different from AT or are they just broken.

[high salmon]

Titan AA launchers lock like vanilla launchers in ACE, I think both are thermal, air only
Titan AT launchers lock differently in ACE, thermal only on anything that is hot

[real moon]

Ok, so it's likely some other mod that's making it so that AA launchers aren't locking when I use the regular inputs got it. Back to troubleshooting I guess.

[real moon]

So I don't what I did, but it randomly started working again, odd.

[high salmon]

🤷
Sometimes Arma is just weird

[burnt olive]

has anyone experienced Textures become sluggish/not loading properly after playing for a few minutes?
i’m using CUP and Antistasi mod

[worldly knoll]

I was able to pare this down to just a few elements. In this example, if the mission is launched in MP (either editor or exported to a mission file), one of the tanks is deleted if AI taking empty is disabled ("Disable AI" button), but both tanks appear if the mission is launched in SP OR AI slotting is not disabled. No mods, just a pair of missions merged together and then pared down to the essentials to demonstrate the bug.

[mental river]

it appears that the game is running on your integrated GPU. don't you have a dedicated GPU?
also remove these parameters -cpuCount=6 -exThreads=2 -enableHT -malloc=system -maxmem=13464 -maxvram=1025
they just break the game

[burnt olive]

i don’t have a dedicated gpu.
the game have decent fps with integrated GPU in the right settings it’s just the rendering is not stable.
is the texture issue showing up because i’m using integrated GPU?

[mental river]

maybe. but try removing those parameters I told you

[burnt olive]

thanks, i turned it off
i found out that the problem was the antistasi mod.
i turned it off with rest of the mods enabled the render issue disappeared.

[pine kite]

You shouldn't use the Antistasi mod unless you want to play Antistasi. And that is either Antistasi Ultimate or Plus. Antistasi Community The Mod works better imho.

[umbral narwhal]

It won't be affecting rendering unless you run it either :P

well, can't speak for Ultimate but I doubt they changed anything in that direction.

In general Antistasi uses a lot of different assets, so if you're very short on VRAM then Arma might need to start dynamically unloading textures.

[burnt olive]

i was using the ultimate, switched to plus earlier but it happened again.
well i just accepted it because i don’t have a dedicated GPU anyways lol

[gray nebula]

Everytime I try and launch the launcher I recieve this message. My computer is infact my computer and I have no idea what device guard is.

[ocean cosmos]

Do you have OneDrive enabled

[gray nebula]

I believe so.

[umbral narwhal]

Set texture quality to low if it isn't already. Might help.

[hollow sonnet]

i was wondering if anyone could help but the ace medical is bugged and the timer dont work and just stays on 6 secs and i just sit there with a timer

[waxen sail]

RPT?

[ocean cosmos]

If you're playing on a server it needs to be restarted

[mental river]

Try increasing the integrated video memory in BIOS (if it supports it)

[burnt olive]

bro, thank you very much.
i’ve been playing with antistasi for two hours now so far i haven’t encountered the rendering issue.

it’s after i set my integrated video memory to 1gb from the BIOS

[umbral narwhal]

Most of them do flexible memory size these days. Surprised you still have a control for it.

[marsh cove]

Looking for an current updated fix to using HOTAS on collective for Helo’s. I’ve done Z+/- on each axis respectively and it’s still being rough af.

All the old forum post are from 10+ years ago for software that doesn’t currently existing or downloadable 😦

[high salmon]

Check that everything is working in windows game controller or another program
Check that arma is getting suitable input from your hotas, in arma control options > controller > customize > show
That will show the raw values that arma is getting, and allow changing deadzone and sensitivity curve in arma

[marsh cove]

Everything Is showing correctly

[high salmon]

Is your hotas throttle not acting smoothly ingame?

You might be able to check by watching the throttle indicator of advanced flight mode

[marsh cove]

I’m trying to fly Hatchet and get it to work currently. I just have very limited collective control. I’m either like 90-100% on collective or none

[high salmon]

The Hatchet may just be very heavy,
All of the vanilla helicopters need at least 50% throttle to take off, and more needed for heavier helicopters or when carrying a load (passengers, pylons, or slingload)

[marsh cove]

I’ll fool around with it more. 50% collective to jsut take off is wild

[high salmon]

It might be a bit less, but that's what I recall for the vanilla transport little bird with AFM on

[balmy bobcat]

Having a bit of issues finding a control scheme for ARMA 3.

I have a Logitech 3D Pro Flight Stick along with two VKB Glads. One is a NXT. Tried different things but no setup seems to work on them. Anyone got a control scheme for them?

[lime sphinx]

just bind the controls manually, Arma has like 20 of them that are relevant for flying 🧠

[high salmon]

For the logitech, try loading the binding for Logitech extreme 3d pro
Same button and axis layout iirc
Unless the VKB joysticks have a preset, you will likely have to bind stuff manually
Even if the axes are bound correctly, you will probably still want to move buttons around to be more useful

Hi, Since v2.18, players have been randomly leaving their groups on their own, and by the end of the mission, I get the error: “Tried to create group while group limit is reached on side BLUFOR.”

I can’t reproduce it on my own; it happens randomly when there are some players already in the game.

What's the best way of finding the broken mod?

Tried running this but didn't help, (I couldn't detect the fault):

addMissionEventHandler ["GroupCreated", {
 params ["_group"];
    private _side = side _group;
    private _id = groupId _group;
    
    diag_log format ["Group Created - Side: %1, ID: %2", _side, _id];
    diag_log (diag_activeScripts);
    diag_log (diag_activeSQFScripts);
    diag_captureFrameToFile 1;
}];

diag_log "Entity and Group logging script initialized.";

logs: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X4RZtxNkwTo7jPGmjjvlIrhGFlJiWlgT/view?usp=sharing

Normally, I’d remove half the mods until I find the broken one, but I can’t remove someone’s favorite mod or a mod they made; it would make people cranky.

[quaint jewel]

"but didnt help" specify why? didn't detect the fault? Or didn't fix the fault?

Surely it won't fix it, because you aren't doing anything to fix it

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/diag_stacktrace You'd want to use this, to hopefully maybe find out which script caused it.
I don't know if it will catch context above the eventhandler, probably not.

To do that, you need to cause a script error, while the game is running in -debug, and it will print you all contexts to log, including the context that lead to the eventhandler being triggered.

causing script error is easy, a simple
""-0; should do it

[strong anvil]

any way to fix the scroll menu options not showing up when remote controling AI with Zeus?

[glossy charm]

Anyone know to how fix my scroll menu not appearing

[pine kite]

Does it function in other applications/windows?

[glossy charm]

Yes it works in other games and everything else but not Arma for some reason.

[pine kite]

Are you using any mods currently?

What do your keybinds look like? Common/Previous and Common/Next

[glossy charm]

No mods and my previous and next keybinds are default which is mouse scroll up and dowb.

[pine kite]

Are you sure you don't have a different profile selected that has different keybinds active.

Explain more about how you experience this. What are you looking at. What scenario or campaign are you using this in. Testing in Eden editor perhaps. Basically provide more info on the context you experience this in. As I can't imagine any other way than previously mentioned.

Hi, Since v2.18, players have been

[frigid epoch]

thank you kju

[modern echo]

device guard can be found in windows security settings
disable core isolation if you can
also i suggest removing device guard via optionalfeatures.exe if you can as a extra measure

[modern echo]

thats not a onedrive issue, it clearly states the issue :p

[river tusk]

Anyone know why It's prompting me to buy arma 3 apex when I load into a scenario I'm messing around in? I'm pretty new to the editor and It's kinda driving me crazy. I don't own the dlc, I can't even load it in the launcher, I checked show required addons, I skimmed through my equipment and there doesn't seem to be a trace anywhere, yet when I load in, the prompt to buy apex still shows up. Any help is appreciated.

[modern echo]

apex is a built in dlc and you have to buy it if you want to use tanoa
the scenario you're messing around in has apex elements that maybe were accidentally added

@stiff snow hey excuse me, im not sure if i should use the scheduled collect allocator and i am experiencing significant "memory leaks" with arma 3 and severe performance drops due to paging to a fragmented disk

[river tusk]

I'm using a map from a mod, and it worked before with no pop ups. I managed to track it down to the loadout by making a new scenario and using the loadout, but all the attachments, guns etc come from mods so I'm kinda lost

[modern echo]

its a good idea/recommended to purchase the dlcs

the mods may be using apex assets

[river tusk]

Yeah I guess I'll just buy apex later on

[river tusk]

That's probably it, I'm kinda new to this whole thing so

[modern echo]

particularly the core/base dlcs such as apex, etc

well there's #arma3_editor and #arma3_scenario

you can try those channels to learn more

[gaunt hound]

anyone know why my left click is doing like a toggle or something when in game? it doesn’t do it in editor or anything, just in zeus camera, arsenal, and for a few seconds when shooting guns. this doesn’t happen on any other application

[vagrant ore]

can someone help me

[stiff snow]

You may try scheduled collect variant and see if it improves, though I suggest consider upgrading your RAM first. 😂

[quaint jewel]

Pressing retry should make it crash, and the launcher should create a crash report.
Probably in appdata Arma 3 Launcher folder.

Not that one, but one folder above it:

[modern echo]

it kind of improves perf but also i need to defragment my disk and put more ram. even still, i run chrome which takes all my ram. its the hdd not the ram the issue here
i need to replace the computer but no money around
its just weird that arma 3 memory climbs so fast even without mods

Enabled data link receive on vls and data link transmit on darter?

Latest ArmA update has caused connection issues with my ethernet connection, since yesterday’s update I’ve been having rubber banding issues with any arma server, I’ve noticed by bandwidth has been extremely low, when I switch to wireless, the issues are gone, I can’t play multiplayer while connected with ethernet, meanwhile any other games, programs, downloads, anything related to internet connection has 0 issues with my ethernet cable.

[quaint jewel]

ArmA has not been updated for over a decade

But you're in the Arma 3 channel, if thats the game you mean, then that also did not get an update yesterday

[fringe salmon]

I have a problem
so you know the ui for the squad and stuff i closed the game and when i opened it up again its just gone i dont know who is in my squad and not

[waxen sail]

Are you the squad leader?

[fringe salmon]

Nope

And it doesnt show up if i am

[desert otter]

Hey folks,

I know, this is a very vague question, but does anyone else experience freezes and crashes since a few weeks? Especially when working in 3den, I have very often freezes and when I close Arma, it often ends with a crash and errorcode. The freezes happen mostly ingame, sometimes random, nearly everytime I do something in Zeus.

I didn't bother to much about it because I thought it was something with my Win11 update, but yesterday we had a little coding session with some guys from my clan and they told me the exact same thing.

Of course I checked with or without mods, but that didn't change a thing.

So, here I am, checking if anyone else experienced this or maybe if somebody knows something else I could try.

[golden nova]

also if you are crashing you should be getting an error code but you did not specify it.

[desert otter]

Hey, wasn't sure if I could upload this here.

Error Code is: 0xC0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION

[golden nova]

those reports are over 2 weeks old (Current time: 2024/11/07 00:25:42), is it not crashing anymore then?

[high salmon]

Zeus freezes can be related to number of objects involved, I had a 1~2 minute freeze when I tried to add too many objects to editable once

[golden nova]

would be good if those came from an unmodded "playthrough" since you said you can crash with no mods either

[desert otter]

Na, even happens on nearly empty Virtual Maps

[desert otter]

Of course, will upload it if it happens again.

[high salmon]

Haven't encountered that before
Nearly empty virtual maps shouldn't have any issues
The freeze I had was at least 200 objects, probably a lot more, being added all at once

[golden nova]

if you have any custom parameters set in the parameters tab in launcher (or you add them through the command line), get rid of them and see if the game becomes more stable

[desert otter]

Okay, FPS loss is real, but seems to solve the problem, with or without mods.

[golden nova]

FPS loss?

[bronze fulcrum]

Hi guys. I use translation because my English is not good. I am a former player of Arma 3. I downloaded it again for the old days, but my sound is not going to other players. I am using Win 11. My headset Razer Baracuda X has no problems and works in every application. I tried everything for 3 days but I couldn't get any results. I finally came here. Please help.

Things I do;
Re-download the game twice.
Integrating Steam files.
Buying a new microphone and trying it out.
Trying with another gaming headset.
Microphone test on Steam is positive.
It works on Discord and TS3.
There is no Hz change setting on the gaming headset I use.
I tried 16 bit 44800hz DVD and 16 bit 44100 CD on the new microphone I bought, but it didn't work.
While doing these operations, I restarted the computer 50 times.

I also deleted the Arma 3 files in the documents.

[desert otter]

Yeah, Altis Pyrgos has now around 80 compared to 95 earlier. Tanoa Georgetown is at something between 40 to 50 compared to 60 earlier

[umbral narwhal]

What are these magical parameters that actually speed things up?

[umbral narwhal]

Is the headset microphone set as the default recording device in windows?

[bronze fulcrum]

yes there is no other device anyway

[desert otter]

Extra Threads, Hyper-Threading System memory limit and the JEMalloc memory allocator

[umbral narwhal]

First three usually don't do anything positive. JEMalloc would be... surprising.

Are you running perf/profile branch?

[golden nova]

his RPT says stable

[desert otter]

Not right now. Sometimes for testing new mod scripts

[umbral narwhal]

Hmm, it also says -malloc=system though

-maxmem=25000 is a bit mad but I doubt it'd get past 8GB anyway.

[fringe salmon]

Hi im trying to create a mission and im having some trouble with the coding

This to specifically

When i enter and the trigger goes off to enable movement it says it fails

[desert otter]

Worked pretty well together with Lasso. Well, at least performance wise. But stability is more enjoyable as frames. As @golden nova suggested, parameters turned to default and tested now several times with different modsets and no crash at all.

[fringe salmon]

If you cant read it its saying "S1 DisableAI"MOVE";"

[umbral narwhal]

You need a space between disableAI and "MOVE"

[fringe salmon]

Oh also at enable ai

[golden nova]

you might want to switch to performance branch now if you want to have both (with minor visual glitches). It supports multithreading to some extent now.

just keep the parameters on default and it should be all good

[desert otter]

Will have to keep switching nonetheless to see how mods behave on different branches. But to be honest, I will get over the ten fps compared to game crashes when in the middle of scripting or editing.

[desert otter]

Will stay with that. Thank you, totally hadn't considered that.

[fringe salmon]

Error still happens

[umbral narwhal]

What's the error?

[fringe salmon]

I think its something like expected group or object

let me open up the game

[fair kestrel]

Get the error from RPT-file.

[umbral narwhal]

Probably S1 doesn't exist (yet).

[fringe salmon]

What is that

[fringe salmon]

It does

I have S1 S2 S3 and S4

[umbral narwhal]

Is S1 the unit that the script is running on?

[fringe salmon]

and S4 gets the error as soon as i start but the others only start when the trigger goes on

[umbral narwhal]

Or are the scripts cross-unit?

[fringe salmon]

Cross unit

[umbral narwhal]

Yeah don't do that.

[fringe salmon]

Do i put them all in one unit

?

Also why did my hud randomely refuse to work and i cant see whos in my squad or my targets anymore idk why

I can see all other things

[umbral narwhal]

Maybe make an initServer.sqf. It's less horrible.

[fringe salmon]

What is that

Im new to eden editor

[umbral narwhal]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Event_Scripts#initServer.sqf

Just a text file with SQF code in it that runs when the server starts.

[fair kestrel]

Go to #arma3_editor or #arma3_scripting.

[fringe salmon]

Ok

[quaint ocean]

hello

dedicated server used to work perfectly

i updated the server files and mods

and now

i get this fella

i would send a log

but after a bit of research

turns out this is about the cpu being old

i just want to play arma 3 with my friends

please help.

https://feedback.bistudio.com/T185482#2710467

this is my exact scenario tbh

[quaint ocean]

okay this says #perf_prof_branch has it figured out

so downloading perf branch of dedicated server

okay it works

alright, im just going to write this shit out so if anyone likeme has this issue and looks for it here, they can find the solution

IF, you are using a really old CPU to run arma 3 dedicated servers, arma 3 itself whatever, use the .exe from the performance branch to run the game

[karmic star]

Hello. Does anyone know why Antistasi isn't showing up under my Steam Workshop Scenarios? I've never played it before but I am subscribed and I have it loaded.

[umbral narwhal]

Which version of Antistasi?

[wet walrus]

hmmmm

"Circular addon dependencies detected (0 addons)"

Theres literally no addons at fault according to this report

[wet walrus]

The minidump also didn’t know what happened

It just labeled it as “unknown”

[quaint jewel]

There are only two crashes in there that happened at game exit.
Both the same reason and its already fixed in #perf_prof_branch

[pine kite]

Maybe it is a mod now. Which you would find show up in the launcher mods tab.

[fringe salmon]

so you know the ui for the squad and stuff i closed the game and when i opened it up again its just gone i dont know who is in my squad and not

[pine kite]

so you know the ui for the squad and stuff No, I don't know what you are talking about. Please post a screenshot of it. Also what scenario or mod are you playing with and get this problem with?

[fringe salmon]

The ui for squad like the square around your squad members

and its in everything

im using the editor though

[pine kite]

Doesn't make it much clearer though for me. But I need to go to work now. So can't help anyway.

At the least it rules out a mod/scenario menu to recruit squad ai..

The editor menus are not supposed to stay the same when you shut down the game. So really do post pictures to explain what you are doing or trying to get.

[fringe salmon]

I cant get a picture of it

[fading pulsar]

You mean bar on bottom left that shows squad members their role etc?

[pine kite]

Why not? Print Screen button, and then paste it here. Or make a photo with a smart phone or something.

[fading pulsar]

Its difficult to photo/screenshot something that isnt there 😄

[keen basalt]

Why does my server list keep deminishing?? I start the game and go to SERVER BROWSER > OFFICIAL SERVER tab and they're all there. Then I go into a server, and when I come out, there's only half the number of servers. Then when I go into another server or click on a different tab and come back there's nothing there until I restart Arma from the Launcher. This has been happening all year. It was never like this before; maybe like 5 updates ago. Why's it doing this!??

[fringe salmon]

I got this picture

The squad ui and stamina doesnt show up

anything else does

[waxen sail]

Isn't the unit on the right the squad leader? might be your difficulty settings also

[fringe salmon]

Yes

[fringe salmon]

Its on veteran

but its not the point

i have 2 computers on one it shows up on the other it doesnt

Like at diffrent parents houses

im not rich

Same exact units

[golden nova]

the squad UI is shown only when you are this squad's leader. On the screenshot you are just a teammate. Stamina is in the upper right corner, the white bar.

at least I remember it has been like this since the game was released.

[pine kite]

Do you have any weapons on you person?. Because it looks like the squad command bar AND the person status (ammo, weapon) is not showing. So i wonder if you have mods that somehow breaks that.

[fringe salmon]

No i didnt equip my weapons yet

the current campaign i created it so the player can pick their own class

instead of a preset one

and then a start flag when ready

[pine kite]

Then i think honger is right. You are not the squadlead.

[fringe salmon]

Yes but i am not even in that picture

in the picture im not squad lead

and when i am squad lead it still doesnt show up

[pine kite]

Isnt that you viewpoint then?

[fringe salmon]

It is mine

but its for my 1st pc

It works one place and the other not

It doesnt matter if im squadlead or not it doesnt show up

I left to eat and when i came back the ui was never to be seen again

[pine kite]

Then look for the differences between them. Mods, mod settings, difficulty settings.

[fringe salmon]

Same difficulty no mods

its the legit same mission

[pine kite]

Cat walking on keyboard and manages to press Ctrl Space keycombo for high command bar. That is my only possible cause i can imagine. (not really likely)

[fringe salmon]

Ok let me try

[fringe salmon]

Ctrl space doesnt do anything

[pine kite]

I have no clue then. Things like that dont suddenly change because you are afk. At least, you are the scenario creator. You know what you are doing in there.

[fringe salmon]

I left the game

like alt f4

and came back in

and its gone

[fringe salmon]

I want to know where my squad is

In the mission im making theres only gonna be one squad but i would still like to know where my squad is

[pine kite]

Your statements make no sense. First you state you are in the editor. Now you state you are playing, then alt-f4. That basically kills the game. You cant get back to it then.

[fringe salmon]

I play my missions to test them

And yeah i couldnt get back to the mission i forgot to save 😦 but thats not the point

[pine kite]

We cant tell where they are. You need to show exactly first what you are doing with them in the editor. Make a video or something. Because it can show who actually is their squadleader. Or how you are involved in that scenario.

Anyway, if you dont save, then alt f4 is like pulling the powercord plug. Everything is gone.

[fringe salmon]

Wdym

[pine kite]

And i am not that familiar with eden editor scenario creation.

[fringe salmon]

Its in the entire game im pretty sure

[pine kite]

Save the scenario. Upload it to the workshop. Let others with eden editor experience test/try it out/confirm or reproduce your experience.

[fringe salmon]

Let me finish the campaign first

is there any way to like to merge missions to make a campaign

Ill ask in editor

but the ui problem is annoying me

would any one know why when i host a arma server why my friend cant see it

[waxen sail]

Maybe it isn't exposed to the internet, not enough information

[fringe salmon]

how would i get it to expose the information

[waxen sail]

Port forwarding, firewall rules, CGNAT

[fringe salmon]

would i have to watch a vid for port forwarding

[pine kite]

Your router may not support UPNP. You may be able to configure port forwarding in it. (UDP portrange 2402-2406 to your computers lan IP). But it may also be possible that your internet service provider denies you that ability.

[fringe salmon]

so some internets company's just deny it

[pine kite]

Probably, but most videos i have seen dont know what they are talking about. Dont have propper networking knowledge.

Well, then choose to setup their network in some way that is most economical for them. And it turns out this causes their clients to not be able to host servers at home.

[fringe salmon]

ok good to know but my friends are able to host a server so i think it might be my provider

[ashen dock]

Hey yall, i got this circular dependency detected error and this is my rpt, I have no idea what it means and I did look up on the internet but there was no concrete way to fix it. Any help would be aprreciated!

Okay, what about loading WS and SOG

[ashen dock]

I have tried WS nothing worked, havent tried sog and not ace yet

I am saying loading three the same time, not one by one

Because RPT complains some about not loading them. Not sure how it is related with circular dependency

[split cypress]

Hi I'm getting a problem trying to launch an Antistasi server with a friend. I tried loading both LAN and Internet but they either can't see it or if I try running it on Internet with UPnP on it says I have a port-forward error. Does anyone know of an easier way to host a server or know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

[ashen dock]

Ooo oki, ill give that a try, thank you for your help

[pine kite]

Rent a server from a hosting company. They have the network issue avoided. There is no other good and stable way to host from home if you can't port forward.

!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”

[lunar oriole]

I'm trying to play SP Air Control, but for some reason a good way into the mission (several days) I can't target things properly anymore. My radar won't pick up enemies (or friendlies) and my AI gunner won't engage very much if at all. I've seen something called "AI Mirror" pop up when I try targetting things, but other than that I have zero idea what's going on. I have LAMBS and HATG, but Air Control has worked perfectly with them before. I'm not sure if I should ask here or in #reaction_forces , so I'll put it in both. Please ping me with any suggestions/solutions.

[pine kite]

There are many kinds of LAMBS mods, best is to be specific on which you are using.

[lunar oriole]

alright, gimme a minute

Turrets, RPG, Suppression and Danger are currently loaded, along with Hide Among the Grass. As stated before, air control has worked just fine with them not long ago.

[pine kite]

"AI mirror" is related to HATG I think. I read it is part of their mechanic to prevent them seeing you. Some how. It's magic I don't understand.

[lunar oriole]

Hm, I can try without it

[uncut trellis]

Main way to debug things like this is try without mods to make sure things work and the add mods and try again and repeat until it breaks again.

[lunar oriole]

I know, I just don't have time to do that right now.

Problem with this is that I can't load the save (to get the same conditions with different mod configs) because it's reliant on HATG now

[lunar oriole]

Do you know if AI Can't See Through Grass uses this too?

[pine kite]

I heard AICSTG used invisible blocking objects around the player. Which can lead to big processing loads when you play with many in multiplayer. If you play solo then it is probably fine.

But if you are in a plane, why would you even be using AICSTG or HATG?

I mean, you can land and fight on foot. If you crash or use parachute you might need to. But it seems an inapropriate mod for most of that scenario gameplay.

[lunar oriole]

Mainly because I don't like closing the game to load mods

[pine kite]

That doesn't work too well in the long run. Loading too many mods because you are lazy maintaining the right mods will get you into trouble like this. Some mod behaves strange, but you can't tell what it is.

Only use the least number of them for what you actually need.

"It worked last time so should be good now" is not a valid argument. Things about mods change due to updates in them, the scenario or the game, and you probably didn't notice they got updated.

[golden nova]

In the time you're staring at the game loading with all the mods you have you would already close the game, change preset and go back to gaming

[quaint jewel]

Well remove mods till the problem disappears, to figure out which mod is causing it

Something is very weird at the top. The same addon being skipped multiple times.
The same addon name should only exist once

The "SUBMOD" there, makes it look as if a macro is missing and the addon was badly packed

[cerulean lance]

Same thing happening for discord im talking through the browser rn

it happened once for discord but i fixed it and this is the second time

Any help?

[ashen dock]

Man, I have no idea what mod is causing my issue tbh, I have gone through everything and I still have the circular dependency issue, idk what im doing wrong

[pine kite]

Why don't you start with making a list of all the mods you used for that RPT log file. The commandline is cut off so we don't have a clear idea. Also, the 2nd table it creates with mods wasn't made yet due to the crash.

But in general, start with no mods, then add 1 mod at a time with the required dependancies. Don't add more until that works.

[ashen dock]

good to go, i can post the most recent rpt file if that works if you have time to take a look

[uncut trellis]

try restart computer. something got very broken

[agile monolith]

Already did

Didnt work

[pine kite]

Only if it has second mentioned table in it.

[ashen dock]

oki let me take a look and see if there is such table

It doesn't look like there is a second table from what I can see. I can see a the circular addon dependency detected ( 0 addons) and a list of addons that can't be resolved and their dependencies with nothing listed unfortunately

[pine kite]

Yes, that is the same as before. Make a list of the mods you enabled in the launcher. If you save them as a preset then you can export it to an html file. Do make note if you have any local mods though. Only those from the workshop end up in the html file.

[ashen dock]

oki good to go, ill do that and hopefully ill figure it out

:D

[pine kite]

Or just start with no mods. And work your way up by adding one at a time.

[ashen dock]

good to go

[patent vapor]

What kind of mod could cause a character's model in a mission to be invisible?

[pine kite]

The ones you didn't load, but your budy did. Or the one the scenario needs.

[patent vapor]

It's a singleplayer mission though

[merry moat]

Hey peeps im having an issue with certain mission.sqm files where when I load it into the dedicated server the mission keeps reverting to role selection screen, but its not for all missions

[patent vapor]

I figured it out, it was Advanced Garbage Collector, a mod that can remove bodies past a certain distance

[umbral narwhal]

Are we talking about a live or dead character?

[patent vapor]

Dead, his body was gone

Apparently heli1 is a group, not an object.

hmm so maybe just make the pilot of the heli

i mean idk ill try doing the pilot cause i did the actual heli

like the group thing so

[umbral narwhal]

The group, the heli and the pilot are all different things.

disableAI almost certainly needs to be applied to the pilot, but it probably wouldn't give that error unless you'd tried to apply it to the group. Unless it's bugged.

[surreal knot]

why cant i join any servers?

like what does this means

[lime sphinx]

it means what's written. Don't load mods that aren't allowed by servers when trying to join

[pine kite]

Seems like whatever mods you are using, it needs Eden Enhanced that is not part of it or it is not fully downloaded/is corrupt.

[pine kite]

Don't load mods of your own liking before joining a server. Disable all of them in the mod list. Then in the launcher serverbrowser, find the server of your liking. Then it shows what mods you need for that and has a button to get them for you before starting the game.

[surreal knot]

THX

[pine kite]

Different servers need different mods most of the time. Mod x is good for server y, but bad or unwanted by server z.

So shut down the game and go back to the launcher if you want to get on a different server.

does arma start normally if you dont enable any mods?

[wary finch]

and this

but it starts up

ok nvm

this is not normal

[uncut trellis]

Nope. you have somehow broken your game

delete arma3\addons folder and verify game files

assuming you have steam copy...

[marsh cove]

Hi, I have someone who has their textures locked to Standard and cant go any higher. I cant find anything even remotely updated on google and trying to figure out if this is a Graphics card thing or if they .CFG file is maybe being misread.

[uncut trellis]

If you got onedrive on you got to disable that

it messes up with the profile

[marsh cove]

I see

[wheat flax]

For some reason I can't save certain settings

When running game as adminstrator it happens too, also checked to make sure if the profile folder and cfg file was set to read only

[pine kite]

If you start a scenario in singleplayer or multiplayer straight from the game instead of via the eden editor (for testing like you seem to do) then you can also not change those settings. You need to change those difficulty settings before you start the scenario. Not during it.

[burnt star]

Just had a weird bug today I thought was related to something else and turned out the game had just broken on my system. Verified files and all is solved but this was just weird

[steady hawk]

What am I supposed to understand from this clip

Sound cutting i guess?

[burnt star]

Yeah if you turn the sound on you can hear it, the gun sounds were very low and almost inaudible in first person but when you switched to third person, and used the command view to distance yourself from the player it sounded completely normal

Only gunshots were effected, and only for the player. I could stand 1 m from an AI and their guns sounded fine

Hey so UPNP hosting isn't working, despite UPNP being enabled with my router running on a static IP address, what the hell?

[fair kestrel]

If your ISP doesn't allow hosting games, then turning UPnP on won't help.

[patent vapor]

They do though

[pine kite]

If they give you an IPv6 address, then Arma 3 (or most of Steam games) can't do anything with it. It needs a unique IPv4 address on the internet. Technically speaking it doesn't have to be static. As long as it is stable for some time.

I am unaware of any way of properly diagnosing UPnP configurations. Never seen an app or menu in a router for that. At most a checkmark to support it.

[umbral narwhal]

You mean UPNP isn't working or hosting isn't working?

I think if UPNP isn't working then Arma itself complains about that when you try to host.

[patent vapor]

It's arma telling me it doesn't work "Port forwarding setup failed. Please check UPnP/IGD settings on your router"

[patent vapor]

I have a unique IPv4 address that's static

Behind NAT, not CG-NAT

[patent vapor]

Yeah same here, my router just has the option to turn UPnP on/off and a setting for NAT-T support (Which I have enabled ofc)

[umbral narwhal]

Might be Windows blocking it instead. It'll do that if your connection is marked as "public" rather than "work" or "home".

There are some other requirements that I forget.

Windows is not big on UPNP these days.

[patent vapor]

I've set it to private network as well

[umbral narwhal]

Also make sure host discovery is enabled.

[patent vapor]

Host discovery?

[umbral narwhal]

Maybe called network discovery. I think it's enabled by default for private connections though.

[patent vapor]

It is on already

[umbral narwhal]

Beyond that I think you're down to windows services that you may have manually disabled. Or the router not actually working.

[hallow fern]

anyone knows why this text is showing up?

it means discovered in my language

Hello guys, every once in a while I get this problem where my game crashes after about 20 minutes of playing, especially when I zoom. Or rather my game gets a black screen and it even becomes hard to close the game (I think something crashes the GPU or something).

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]

these are the requirements for localhosting

[pine kite]

If he was smart he would have given his server a unique name. Not something like "Arma 3 server". Then you just type the name in the search field of the internet tab.

But yes, depending on his type of internet connection, or him not properly setting up his router to allow you to connect, you may not be able to see it.

[rain robin]

He did

[pine kite]

Can other people join his server? Why doesn't he himself show up here for help? There is not much you can do to make this work. He needs to either get into his router and make sure UPnP is supported (not disabled), or he must manually set up port forwarding in it (for UDP port range 2302-2306). Never do both, it can conflict.

Additionally often their Windows firewall (or whatever operating system they use) blocks incomming traffic from the internet, unless manually allowed.

In his router he can also likely find his Internet address, often called WAN-address. A set of 4 numbers 0-255 seperated by dots. Though he might see a bunch of numbers like that. You can try to direct connect to that IPaddress. That is the extent of what you can do.

It is very likely that his internet service provider has a kind of internet connection for him where hosting a server over non-standard ports doesn't work. If the above is correctly executed/checked, then there is little you or he can do about it.

Alternate methods exist such as ZeroTier, Tailscale. But these require a bit of technical setup

If you want to play the Contact singleplayer campaign then you need to enable that DLC. But if you want to play any other workshop scenario on Livonia then you can do without the Contact DLC enabled.

Anyway, it doesn't hurt to have Steam do a file verification on the install of Arma 3. There is a tab with a button for that in the properties of Arma 3 in your game library.

[carmine crown]

I have all the base that I own enabled and the contract dlc thats it really but i found out that the game isnt busted the arma profile is creating a new one solved all my issues

[pine kite]

Only enable the DLC and CDLC that you want to play at that time. All CDLC create their own changes in the main menu, so they can conflict with each other in that regard.

But yeah, a corrupted profile can happen. Good you have it solved.

[dim briar]

Is there a way to disable eye light adaptation effect in ArmA3?

Outside view and then ""inside"" view from an open tower

This effect is utterly horrible and makese no sense

And before someone says "duh this happens in real life" - yes, it does happen in real life, but it's never that severe.

[uncut trellis]

damn thats bright

😎

[dim briar]

This doesn't even work properly in the game, there's no roof on that tower

Battlefield 1 had the same issue and it was impossible to disable it. I was wondering if maybe Arma has an option to disable it

[uncut trellis]

what else are you running there to make it that bright/contrasty

[dim briar]

Nothing

[uncut trellis]

have you tried how it goes in just vanilla without mods&stuff

[dim briar]

yes

It's the HDR's fault

I can't turn HDR off in the options, though

[uncut trellis]

perhaps a direct GPU enchancement then

[dim briar]

I just switched HDR from Low to Standard and it partially mended the issue

This is with HDR set to Standard (the previous "internal" screenshot was HDR set to Low)

This is just bad HDR implementation

Standard HDR also decreases performance

this is horrible

i have a shit ton of this spam in the server rpt and i cant find anything online about this... what could it be?
tell me if you need any info

[golden nova]

you're 11 years too late to even hope that would be fixed

[golden nova]

server on performance branch?

[high salmon]

Maybe force aperture and the camera settings with scripting?
But without a lot of work you would lose the advantages of the dynamic light adaption
These are the script commands you would need to handle aperture
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setAperture
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setApertureNew
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/apertureParams

[dim briar]

yeah I figured

I fucking hate dynamic light adaptation in games

flatbraindead idea, just like chromatic aberration, lens flare or motion blur

[vocal wagon]

how to fix"ace_xm157.pbo is outdated"?

[uncut trellis]

Probably need to disable it.

And use ace from the latest release

[vocal wagon]

How

[vocal wagon]

?

[steady hawk]

Unload some Mod that have ace_xm157 and let ACE handle that

[vocal wagon]

How to check which modes have ace xm157

[steady hawk]

Open up RPT may help

[vocal wagon]

I will try

But yesterday was wprking fine

Maybe arma 3 got an update and ace didnt updated uet

[uncut trellis]

No Arma 3 has not updated.

You might have added something that contains old obsolete ace though

[vocal wagon]

Ah okey

Thx anyway

[heady moon]

Hey guys, my Arma 3 keeps crashing whenever I play antistasi. I play on a dedicated server, the server is fine but it seems my Arma 3 crashes more frequently then it used to. I have already checked in the antistasi discord and they suggested I check here why my arma is crashing

I've verified my files, steam says everything is fine.

But i do play on really high enemy resources (like 2.8x0.8x1.5) with RHS. I previously played a CUP campaign on 2.8x0.6x1.5 and the frequent crashes didn't start until like war level 8, but now they are happening on war level 2-3.

I've uploaded my modpack and my two RPT files made around the time my game crashed. I think the one ending in 44 is the one where my arma crashed

[golden nova]

Fault address: AF05E926 01:0003D926ll C:\WINDOWS\system32\XAudio2_7.dll ditch whatever sound mods you're using and try again

and make sure your audio output is running in 44.1khz mode, Arma 3 doesn't really work with 48khz

[heady moon]

Hey thanks! How do I change it to 48khz? I don't ever remember changing audio output for arma

[golden nova]

right-click on sounds, find your output, select its properties, there should be a tab to change the sound frequency

[heady moon]

Thanks!

Regarding the sound mods, is the problem with either Improved Game Sounds, or with Virtual Projectile Sound Mod or with the Enhanced Sound Mod?

Or should I just get rid of all of them?

Because the improved game sounds mod was specifically made for RHS and Karmakut uses it for his liberation servers so I'm surprised that sound mod is causing issues

[golden nova]

Karmakut's mods are ass so I am not surprised that people might have issues with them

[golden nova]

idk, all I know is that your audio DLL is crashing so the issue is audio-related

if you want to have more info, get an mdmp file, send it to Dedmen and wait until he has time to look at it

if you disable all the sound mods and the crash does not happen again, you can try adding them back. Sound mods usually don't introduce dependencies if you don't make scenarios with them loaded (or if they are clientside only but dunno if it would matter in this case) so you can switch them in and out without losing progress.

[heady moon]

ok thanks!

[quaint jewel]

We already know that crash.
Setting to 44.1khz should fix it.
Microsoft already knows about it for years, but I assume they're never going to fix the old XAudio 2.7

[heady moon]

Thanks a lot @quaint jewel !

I could have sworn I had other MDMP files in my arma folder but they seem to have disappeared or have been replaced since I played Arma this morning, I've attached the latest MDMP file for whenever you happen to have the time to take a look at it

If it's a sound mod issue, the sound mods I was using were Improved Game Sounds (and it's RHS compat), Enhanced Soundscape and Virtual projectile Sound Reality mods

I've since removed virtual projectile sounds reality and Improved Game Sounds. It would be great to know if the arma crashing was caused by Improved Game Sounds whenever you have the time to take a look, it's my favourite sound mod but I suppose I can live without it

Thanks!

[quaint jewel]

That dump is a "freeze" but it doesn't look to be an actual freeze. Your game is just being very slow at loading terrain from disk.

[heady moon]

hmm strange, my arma had crashed, not hanged/frozen, so it's probably a seperate issue. Anyways thanks for the help, I've changed the sound thingy to 44.1 khz so hopefully that fixes the issue

[cobalt star]

no

[modern echo]

and this is why i use -skipFreezeCheck

[quaint jewel]

"nofreezecheck" is the parameter.
It exists so we can analyze why game freezes/slowdowns happen. If you don't want to help with that then that's on you.

In the above case, its a engine bug. It should not detect a slow-ness like this, as a freeze. There is a wakeup missing in there.

[modern echo]

oh understood, sorry for my faulty memory

as said, in systems where you know you're going to be cramped on memory consumption and have hdd slowness all the time it's acceptable to use that to avoid unnecessary storage consumption

i understand it hampers devs

but disabling the freeze dumps should help detect actual crashes

i suggest also enabling windows crashdump creation and, is steamerrorreporter any useful to you folks?

[quaint jewel]

Afaik we get nothing from steam reporter.
Didn't even know that was a thing

[molten mason]

Vehicles placed under objects hidden using the hide terrain objects module explode on dedicated server(only) mission start, is this normal, is there a way to fix this? the base is in the middle of a forest moving vehicles away from where the tree's would be is near impossible

[uncut trellis]

youll need to disable the vehicle simulation for a bit so server and the object hiding is first initialized

the vehicles blow up becuase they spawn the same time as the objects that are not yet hidden

@molten mason

[molten mason]

k, ty

[sacred lodge]

after i installed windows, and restored all my old profiles, they no longer show up in arma 3
When i try to make a new one, it shows up in the install location
My RPT contains a whole bunch of "Cannot access My Documents" which doesnt make sense, as arma is being launched as admin, and there's a Documents folder (Not a onedrive one)

[pine kite]

Is the name of your account the same as for that old profile? Or did you place the old profiles as a folder in 'Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles'

[sacred lodge]

old profiles are all in Arma 3 - Other Profiles. which is located in documents
Ive tried moving it and setting that folder via params, and making a symlink, nothing works

[pine kite]

Make sure there are no typos in the folder or files for the profile.

[umbral narwhal]

Start Arma and see where it's actually writing the profile using the modified times.

[sacred lodge]

it writes them to the same location as the .exe

not to any of the profile locations

[umbral narwhal]

Paste your RPT.

Preferably without mods so the command line is readable.

[sacred lodge]

only params are skip intro and no splash

[umbral narwhal]

Ok, remove both profile folders and try again.

[sacred lodge]

no profile folders are being created, and here's the RPT

[umbral narwhal]

Is that win11 24H2?

[sacred lodge]

yes

[umbral narwhal]

I wonder what they broke there.

Try setting the profile folder to C:\Armaprofiles in the launcher.

[sacred lodge]

creates an RPT, and nothing else

[modern echo]

Oh im not sure how CSER works with valve and third party developers but it does generate dumps in steam\dumps folder and its... well, its designed for steam/source engine/goldsrc, no idea about other games but it prepares a "better" mdmp apparently

[umbral narwhal]

No "users" folder?

[modern echo]

weird, you sure you don't have a parameter that sets the profile folder elsewhere?

[umbral narwhal]

He didn't.

[modern echo]

is onedrive backing up documents?

[umbral narwhal]

It's clearly trying to use documents and failing.

[modern echo]

what is your documents folder set in windows?

[sacred lodge]

nope, onedrive is gone

[modern echo]

like the virtual folder

[sacred lodge]

nope

[modern echo]

Did you uh, remove it without disabling things?

because thats likely causing problems

[umbral narwhal]

If Arma can't even create a new file in C:\Armaprofiles then it's probably a deeper issue than that.

[sacred lodge]

disabled sync, disabled backup, then uninstalled

[modern echo]

permission issue?

Ok

[umbral narwhal]

Although kinda odd that it can create RPTs.

[modern echo]

what does the rpt say? nothing useful?

[sacred lodge]

oh cool, a BSOD

gimme a sec

[modern echo]

that requires admin run to write, odd that its able to write but does nothing

[umbral narwhal]

It does not.

[modern echo]

yes it does to create the folder in first place

Anyways

[sacred lodge]

arma is being run as admin anyway

[modern echo]

sounds like you got deeper issues

hdd? ssd? memory/cpu failing?

[patent kettle]

you do not need admin perms to create a directory in a disk root.

[modern echo]

in an os drive you do

[patent kettle]

you don't. stop spreading bullshit like you often do.

[ocean cosmos]

please stop talking about things you clearly know nothing about

[patent kettle]

cmd > mkdir C:\test

[modern echo]

sighs okay fine

i do know some stuff, and im forgetful

[sacred lodge]

d----- 2024-12-11 12:41 test

[patent kettle]

can you try launching arma directly? instead of via steam?

[sacred lodge]

newish PC so doubtful, only thing old are my HDDs, and those are under 3 years old

[patent kettle]

would make no sense for steam to have some low perms but idk.

[modern echo]

steam uses admin perms in first run to overwrite permissions so users can access steam folders without being admin

[patent kettle]

cool, the issue is with arma.

[modern echo]

well it checks and sets it on startup if needed

[patent kettle]

cool, it does not touch any arma related folders.

As they're outside of steam jurisdiction

[pine kite]

Any chance you have a malware/antivirus that protects your Documents from being targeted by other programs?

[modern echo]

good call, i forgot about that and it does sound likely that conflicting software is the prob here

[sacred lodge]

fresh windows reinstall, with a formatted drive, so doubtful
Plus its only an arma issue

[modern echo]

You can definitely try the following: point arma 3 profiles within steam folders where access is guaranteed

anyway moving on from the permission issue

[sacred lodge]

did that, it created profiles in with the .exe

[modern echo]

works fine there?

[sacred lodge]

no

[patent kettle]

rpt from that run?

[modern echo]

Wait, do you have any symlinks or weird stuff like image execution options by chance?

[modern echo]

symlinks in windows do not work as you expect, junctions and hardlinks are the way to go instead, symlinks are incompatible with most windows programs

[sacred lodge]

there was one, not anymore though

[patent kettle]

are you intentionally running 32bit version?

[sacred lodge]

no, i just launched it by the 32 bit one by mistake

[patent kettle]

nothing meaningful in RPT (as expected ;d)

[modern echo]

game works fine if you launch arma3_x64.exe -noLauncher -mod= -profiles=..\profiledir from a cmd window in the game directory? @sacred lodge

[sacred lodge]

no, it creates profiles with the .exe and a rpt in .appdata

[modern echo]

um, does arma 3 show useful information in a debugger?

my suggestion is to attempt to run the above with a debugger such as windbg

@sacred lodge weird that a fresh windows install is cursing you, can you try a different windows user profile? did you change the login username of a microsoft account without converting it to local?

[sacred lodge]

Tried a different profile, and no

also the debugger exits with a code 80000003

[modern echo]

wtf

[modern echo]

the game or the debugger doesnt even start or what?

[sacred lodge]

nothing, it doesnt even allow me to go after the breakpoint

[modern echo]

oh um, what does the output say?

hmmmmmm do you have vc++ redists installed properly?

[modern echo]

in windows its md, mkdir is wsl/linux

[sacred lodge]

yes

[sacred lodge]

no

[patent kettle]

again, talking bullshit.

maybe consider testing your knowledge before actually speaking?

mkdir been there since MS-DOS

[modern echo]

weird, i got my neurons really confused today, again its my ADD

im distracted

[modern echo]

might need an update? very weird, and this is without conflicting software?? can you hmm, check your disk and see the smart info with crystaldiskinfo please just in case the disk is failing?

[sacred lodge]

disk is newish, 96%

[modern echo]

running a chkdsk should do

[sacred lodge]

no errors

[modern echo]

welp

and this is also a fresh install?

win10 or 11?

[sacred lodge]

11

[modern echo]

which build?

because the latest is half-borked in some places

24h1? 24h2?

[sacred lodge]

24h2

[modern echo]

im not sure if others with latest win11 are having the same issues or not

this is stable or profiling branch?

[sacred lodge]

stable

[modern echo]

try dev or profiling just in case?

i'd wait on dedmen

is your user profile composed of latin characters?

[sacred lodge]

yes

[modern echo]

in the separate windows profile which i hope it was a local user, whats the rpt output of that? and about the debugger, i guess it depends on the version regarding how readable the error codes are, desktop/classic windbg from windows sdk should tell you why it stopped, you can always look up the status codes anyway

i dont remember/know off the top of my head what 80000003 is

[sacred lodge]

generic error

[modern echo]

point of the debugger is to learn more about why the generic error lol

[pine kite]

It existed as both in MSDOS

[modern echo]

hmmm

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11927877/how-to-get-rid-of-exception-80000003

[sacred lodge]

debugger doesn't expound on the error

[modern echo]

in the first breakpoint you should hit go which is the normal debugger entry initial breakpoint

after that if its still happening we got a issue

which you're using? windbg (preview) or windows sdk debugger?

also lol i forgot that -nolauncher is an arma3launcher specific command line

[sacred lodge]

WINdbg

[modern echo]

the windows sdk debugger is called WinDbg too. im asking if you're using the microsoft store windbg app or the other one

Anyways, i personally dont like the microsoft store remake they did, but the original is too basic

um, okay, so you're not getting past the initial breakpoint?

[sacred lodge]

yes

[modern echo]

i've had no problems with that usually, so im not sure

[sacred lodge]

reinstalled arma 3 onto a different drive, works with the custom armaprofiles path

[patent vapor]

My Arma is convinced that my 2560x1440 monitor is actually 2048x1152, what do I do about it?

[patent kettle]

do you use display size scaling?

[patent vapor]

Stuff like lossless? No

[patent kettle]

no, like in windows interface size

[modern echo]

no, windows DPI, like, set it to 100% instead of 125% or 150%

[patent vapor]

I have no clue, I just upgraded to Windows 11
Or should I say, bloatware 11

[modern echo]

lol, just open display settings and look for the scaling option

[patent vapor]

Of course it affects arma on w11, it never did that before

That did fix it though (at the cost of everything else being smaller, but its ok), thanks for the help

[modern echo]

or maybe dont nitpick this, im pretty sure the same resolution issue happens in earlier versions, but take me with a big grain of salt

i guess win11 is trying to be like macs

[patent vapor]

Yeah..

First 15-30 minutes has just been spent on trying to get rid of all the bloat lol

Extended right click menu hidden behind "Show more options"? Gtfo I want the original
"Learn more about this picture" Gtfo

[modern echo]

use windows 10

or iot enterprise/ltsc

[patent vapor]

I just came from windows 10 lol, I caved in to some friends' demands

I can't wait for 24h2 to mess things up

[modern echo]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

go to like 22h2, better version or something

[patent kettle]

You can disable scaling for a single application in the exe compatiblity settings.

check these two checkboxes and it should be disabled for the application.

[celest latch]

view distance is fine in the editor

but looks foggy in game, anyone know why? is it something to do with Ace?

[modern echo]

#arma3_editor check your settings? could be placebo due to the height/horizon, you can tune the fog in the mission settings

[high salmon]

Maps also have varying haze settings, you could try turning off haze in the graphics settings

[modern echo]

that as well

(there's even a mod to disable haze entirely)

[fast flume]

Im getting this weird asf issue with shadows on some textures when moving where they turn BLUE?

What's the cause?

(the gaps in the panels)

game is at ultra 1440p HDR, cannot figure out whats causing it, only happense when camera is moving

wait its not showing in the clip, only in game

wtf

https://tenor.com/view/thevoicescat-gif-2558253373593955218

[celest latch]

Fogs all the way down in the settings

[modern echo]

use mod if you dont like the haze then, maybe its just how it is by design shrug

[fading pulsar]

Marko! (I had to)

[patent vapor]

The hell is making the water glow like this?

[golden nova]

you tell us.

I'd say it's a shitty mod or you're running reshade on top of the game.

[patent vapor]

Neither

[golden nova]

so this is taken in a completely vanilla environment?

[patent vapor]

Only mod that can change lighting I have on is Real Lighting and Weather, a mod I've used for years without this issue

[steady hawk]

a mod I've used for years without this issue
Can never be a valid counterpoint

[golden nova]

so it still can be a shitty mod. Start the game with none, open the map in the same weather settings and see if issue persists.

judging by the size of the stars it could be messed up aperture, but how could we know if you provided 0 specifics.

[patent vapor]

That might be it

That was it, thank you <3

[celest latch]

how is ch view distance still in my game if i had removed it?

[modern echo]

sorry, but those mods suck and do affect rendering and performance

lol

[golden nova]

you either didn't or you're using a mod that has ch view distance files in it.

[celest latch]

i did i check my addons folder too there's nothing there

[modern echo]

please dont use random mod packs

[celest latch]

any idea what mod would be using it?

[modern echo]

no, do a binary search

[celest latch]

how do i do that?

[golden nova]

open your mods one by one and see if there is a PBO archive that would be CH View Distance.

alternatively don't use shady modpacks

[modern echo]

check the mods workshop pages, launch without mods and add one by one, you can launch the game without -mod= and without the launcher to make things easier from the in-game expansions dialog

besides what honger suggested

[modern echo]

it could be either packed differently or under a different name tho

[patent vapor]

How?

And how bad is it?

[modern echo]

im not a user of them but weather mods affect servers performance.
the other one, usually rendering mods tend to not be performant but heavy on the hardware. especially effect mods such as blastcore

lighting can be expensive, especially if you go realistic

livonia lighting is a meme btw

[patent vapor]

I'm pretty sure it doesn't add new weather, something like sullen skies

It does add actual skyboxes though, which is nice

[modern echo]

aaren's blast effects look like counter-strike: source explosions

[modern echo]

yeah that's more weight for the server

[patent vapor]

I do blastcore but I might swap it out for proton

[modern echo]

the everchanging weather stress hits server cycle performance

[patent vapor]

photon, whatever it's called

[patent vapor]

How much?

[patent vapor]

Sahatra is better anyway

[modern echo]

i dont have benchmarks but groups have tried and rejected it because of that

[patent vapor]

This specific mod or any weather mod?

In my own anecdotal experience (antistasi server with the boys) it doesn't really touch performance

[modern echo]

try hosting a dedicated server with 20 players and see how it goes for everyone

[patent vapor]

That's an odd hypothetical

[modern echo]

the specific mod, and pretty much most similar mods

[patent vapor]

Of course in such environments it starts to matter

[modern echo]

causes fps issues

[patent vapor]

Of course

[modern echo]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[patent vapor]

What a niche issue for me lol

[modern echo]

moving on

[patent vapor]

What was that lighter weight SFX mod called? Is it photon?

I ask because I know blastcore doesn't work with defo munitions

[uncut trellis]

sfx mods are unlikley to work/have effect on all other possibe addons since some might use custome effects to begin with

[modern echo]

sound effects are not visual effects lol
i think you're now really mixing up mod types

[patent vapor]

physics

Particles

[modern echo]

uh sure, that's not SFX

[patent vapor]

Got them mixed up

Not sfx

[modern echo]

brain moment

[patent vapor]

I'm typing between sets

My brain is mush

[modern echo]

maybe take a break?

[patent vapor]

that's what happens between sets

I do set, sit for a couple minutes, then I go again

[modern echo]

okay

i meant in general, like a break for your brain

whatever

[sacred lodge]

for those wondering, if you ever have an error like mine, make sure windows security doesnt have its controlled folders setting on even when it says its disabled

[pine kite]

I knew it!

[umbral narwhal]

Microsoft ugh :/

[modern echo]

lol

didnt think of that

but it falls in the conflicting software part

[modern echo]

why did you even have had that configured in first place? O_o

[ocean cosmos]

Upgrade to Win11 and find out

[sacred lodge]

It’s auto enabled as part of w11. And it’s only able to be turned off via command line or registry edits

[modern echo]

ah yes, more reasons to avoid windows 11

[halcyon forge]

Could someone help me with ace? My game crashes whenever I try to use it the game crashes while loading, I only have ace and CBA_A3 loaded, anyone know how I could fix this? I am playing on geforce now

[hard sleet]

Guys what the hell is this?

Never had this issue before.

[uncut trellis]

your file there has weird date and file size

so it probably is not from the game

delete it and verify install files from steam

[hard sleet]

Yeah I just did

[heady moon]

Hi guys, I came here a few days ago because my Arma 3 kept crashing while playing Antistasi.

I'm just posting my RPT's here again to confirm while it crashed again?

Was it because of the soundmods like last time? I've changed my sound settings to 44.1khz (it was previously at 48khz).

Wanted to check again because I've noticed whenever the enemy sends tanks, that's when my game crashes, thanks

[golden nova]

geforce now does not support mods and has issues with some like ace

figure it out with nvidia

[marble kindle]

Hey so im trying to launch arma 3 and i downloaded the ace 3 and the A3TI REAP IR after this my game wouldnt not launch and would be stuck on not responding in the loading screen. I tried to disable all mods and it worked normally again. I have turned off my antivirus runned arma 3 on admin mode and still havent gotten it to work could anyone help ?

[uncut trellis]

try enable one mod at a time to see which one breaks it

there may be just broken mods out there

or possibly you got a some combination that does not work together

[marble kindle]

its most likely the new mods i downloaded im guessing

[marble kindle]

turned out to be ace 3

never mine it crashed again

[dim zinc]

Hello! what is the 2 letter short name for the spearhead DLC? like, how west sahara is WS, Prairie fire is vn...

[waxen sail]

It's apparently SPE

[dim zinc]

huh, hope it'll work

[waxen sail]

At least that's the prefix for the files, are you looking for the mod parameter name?

[dim zinc]

i want to make a mod list for the server

so right now for example the list for my vietnam preset is like vn;@CBA_A3...

etc

with West Sahara lists its ws

[waxen sail]

Yeah it's spe

Add rf; to mod parameter for Reaction Forces
Add spe; to mod parameter for Spearhead 1944
Add gm; to mod parameter for Global Mobilization - Cold War Germany
Add vn; to mod parameter for S.O.G. Prairie Fire
Add cslr; to mod parameter for CSLA Iron Curtain
Add ws; to mod parameter for Western Sahara

[dim zinc]

gotcha, thank you!

First one has no crash info, third is another XAudio, second is:

13:12:49 DX11 error : CreateDepthStencilView failed : E_INVALIDARG

[pine kite]

That steam_api64_0.dll is suspect. I don't have that. Seems like steam_api64.dll somehow got replaced and the original was left. Make sure you don't have a malware on your system. Or it is a pirated version of the game.

[rough zodiac]

I have some workaround for it ATM
1.Get in zeus, it loads very slowly
2.delete the zeus module as an editable object
3.use the create zeus module from ACE, this one loads instantly

I'm guessing it might be related to what addon gets loaded. I still have acces to the same things though

[modern echo]

weird issue with disk

[modern echo]

probably bad mod, check other TI modifying mods and stuff like that. also look at the last updated date on workshop for your mods, chances are if its too old it might be incompatible

let's move on

[waxen sail]

lmao caught in 4k

[heady moon]

hey thanks

It seems based on some googling these are both directx issues so I repaired my directx, hopefully that works

AND Please lemme know if its not a directx issue! I've already switched from 48khz to 44.1 khz so I was surprised my arma crashed again after making the switch

[modern echo]

you can also see on the screenshot the file modified date is newer than the other files, meaning its from a repack or unknowningly recently installed :^)

[umbral narwhal]

Well, that particular DX11 error should be pretty much impossible to generate...

The more common ones are just triggered when the GPU/drivers crash.

Three different crashes makes me wonder about your hardware reliability.

[waxen sail]

The crash in kernelbase is odd, points to the same thing

[heady moon]

I've got a 2070 Super, 3700x AMD processor and 2x8GB RAM (I think it's DDR4)

I've noticed the crashes almost always occur when there are enemy tanks involved, IDK if those tanks have fired or not (maybe something about the sound when the tanks fire caused the previous crashes? IDK)

Also the other error was caused by something related to reshade so I just uninstalled reshade, I haven't even used it in months anyway

all my drivers are updated as well, including audio and nvidia drivers

[umbral narwhal]

Is the RAM using XMP speeds?

[burnt star]

Any ideas why when I go to convert a cpp to bin with cfgconvert, it is deleting content from it

Is it automatically deleting a typo or incorrect syntax?

It was indeed force deleting a whole class block due to something that had a typo. Normally it displays an error. That was unusual

[jolly sorrel]

If arma 3 tools, shows a mod to be signed, and launcher confirms the mod is signed, but attempting to join dedicated server invokes the xyz mods are not signed by a key accepted by this server message, what could the cause be?

Yes bikey, is in \keys folder, and server is green in launcher

I've also attempted to create new keys and upload the mod with those keys, error persists, so I'm missing something...

[heady moon]

when i dont have arma open its at around 8gb. When i open up antistasi (just a locally hosted server, beginning of campaign), it shoots up to 15/16gb

IDK if it's using XMP speeds, I don't think it is

[heady moon]

Do I need to download more RAM? 😵‍💫

[uncut trellis]

if you run out. yes

[heady moon]

Ok so basically my arma is crashing because insufficient RAM ok thanks

[modern echo]

yeah unfortunately that's how bad arma 3 is in terms of memory.
windows paging should help, you should set that to automatic instead of static to avoid ooms and slowdown

[waxen sail]

Ohhhh yeah. I used to have problems with arma crashing when I turned off my page file. Turn it on and either automatic it or give it a couple of gigs on a spare drive, might help

[humble wagon]

Did it get fixed with steam verify? If not what is the A3 version number you are running?

[hard sleet]

Yeah it works now

[modern echo]

heh

[modern echo]

yeah, its going to always exhaust things, without pagefile you need lots and lots of ram if you dont want to frequently have oom crashes

with a static pagefile its going to be only as good as secondary memory that is living on disk storage which is slower

[waxen sail]

Nah it wasn't a problem of capacity, I had plenty at the time, it just didn't play nice without a page file and I don't really know why

[modern echo]

the os needs memory too.....
might be that detecting low free ram makes it bail

it doesnt play nice because it tries to allocate more than it can/needs

you can try limiting it with the max memory parameter

[waxen sail]

Meh it's not a problem any more since I bought more memory and turned page file on

[azure hedge]

Hi guys i have problem with Arma 3. I almost have 200 hours in game and there was no problem. But i installed Arma 3 again like before 2 days and it just start crashing idk what to do ? Before like for 200 hours evrething was okay now its just crashing after few min ? Any help

[pine kite]

Make sure to do an install verification through steam. Not always does it install correctly the first time.

Another option might be that somehow your Arma 3 profile got corrupted. Consider temporarily renaming the Arma 3 folder in Documents. And let the game create a new one with default files. (I presume you have not made a secondary profile in the game that is stored in 'Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles')

If it crashes then it should show a message with an error code. That message also instructs to report a crashdump to Bohemia Interactive Feedback tracker site. Only the developers can analyse such a crashdump file. However, they won't do that during the weekend. So you will have to wait for a response on monday at the soonest.

[azure hedge]

Nope i only have one profile

In Arma

@pine kite How do u mean install verification thgrough the steam sorry i need more time to understand 😄

[pine kite]

The equivalent in your language from my Dutch:

Bottom button.

[azure hedge]

Yeah i triend and it said it was okay all files

[pine kite]

Steam app\Game library\Arma 3 (rightclick to get properties)\that screenshot

[azure hedge]

Il try put Arma 3 tonioght to install sow i woud see tomorrow

Bdw i said one guy this but i will said here too

[pine kite]

Try to recreate the crash and look for the common unusual exit codes shown here: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_Process_Exit

[azure hedge]

I have one game installed theat i don t play not but i have on D disk 300 gb space woud it help if i deinstall the game and i make more space for Arma

[pine kite]

No, space is not the issue I think.

[azure hedge]

Bdw tnx for help

[pine kite]

I mean, if Windows itself does not complain about lack of space, Arma 3 should work fine.

[azure hedge]

I mean as i said i have alomst 200 hour of course over few years but no problems at all no crash no anything in some situations there was a lot going but it was okay

But now after i enter server it just crash after few min

[pine kite]

Maybe the mods the server is using are bad and prone to crash. I don't know about what server or what mods it needs. That error code could help to narrow down the issue.

It doesn't matter that you managed to play X hours without issues in the past. Something is going wrong now. And you need to provide the details about what you are doing when it happens. Which server, which mods, what action precedes it.

[sacred dove]

Got a problem with Arma 3 forgetting my profiles all of a sudden. I have the associated files Owner.3den.Arma3Profile / Owner.Arma3Profile / Owner.vars.Arma3Profile file types
but I can't access any thing associated with the mission making, keybinds, or even game visual settings, this is the first time this has happened in almost 9000 hours of playing arma 3. I still have all the mission files and profile files for it thankfull but how do I fix this issue?

[steady hawk]

That probably mean your ingame profile is not set to that profile

[sacred dove]

I've set it to that profile manual in parameters including the folder location too

in game my main profile doesn't even appear

[errant gulch]

Okay, I have an issue, when I play arma (Zeus ops with a group) about an hour later, I get "no messege from server" and my teamspeak also looses connection to TS server (TFAR mod).

TS tries to reconnect to server and it doesn't, many times. BUT if I quickly restart TS and than rejoin the server manually, it works.

While I do that, game still goes "no messege from server for ## seconds" even tho TS is back up after manual restart. Which forces me to leave and reconnect to the server.

I know it is not internet issue, because I installed a network monitor, and it indicated no issues, also discord also doesnt loose connection. I am the only one who gets this issue, and its kinda bad, because it can happen every hour or every few min, and its not good when I am the Zeus.

[azure hedge]

No mods and i check but no mods install now i play like Domination maps

I will install Arma next month becozuas i will have fresh net sow i will try then till the ni am going to play DF

And maybe they change something i played before here but maybe they change something

[pine kite]

No problem, have fun.

[patent vapor]

I'm having problems setting up UPnP and port forwarding in Arma. As in the Arma specific ports can't be opened. The specific problem is a port timeout, not a rejection.

I can open other ports (25565, minecraft, for example), but not Arma's UDP 2302-2306, nor the TCP ports

I have set the correct firewall rules to allow traffic, even tried disabling firewall altogether

I am on a static IP aswell

[pine kite]

Don't use UPnP and manual port forwarding in the router together. It is either one or the other. One of the two takes the ports and forces the other to fail because of it.
