I have uploaded my first workshop item. lol
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3403755636
hey so im trying to launch arma 3 with mods however arma 3 then stops responding however when i launch arma 3 withoud mods it works completely fine
Add one mod at a time to see which one breaks
So a mod issue
Some mods are huge and take a while to load so be patient, sometimes it can appear non-responsive while it's still initialising mods
If it continues to crash, check your RPT for any errors and then add mods one by one to figure out which one is breaking
what should i do after finding the mod that breaks it
Don't load it? Submit a bug report to the author
so should i just wait for it to start responding or should i check which one breaks it if it does
some mods or mod combinations may just be broken
and you cant use those
those are my forwarded ports.
looks plausible.
Dude, no-one can do anything with your internal IP :P
yeah :p idk just never sure, still a noob
so this being said
I should be able to just launch arma 3, hit host, and boom it's good right?
Probably not?
I'm not wanting to make it dedicated, just temp when I launch it with my buddies
I don't even know whether that's a port forwarding page from the screenshot.
yeah it 100% is
I also don't know whether your local IP is correct.
checked through CMD, IPCONFIG 100% correct.
And whether you allowed A3 through your firewall.
Even if you set up everything correctly, I don't know whether your ISP supports port forwarding, or whether your router is a buggy piece of shit.
i'd hope not my routers are like 300 a pop
The IP's different though?
yes, that's a server PC i have dedicated to running other games
the PC im on (Trying to host a temp arma 3 coop session) is the 172.
Maybe it has an extra firewall.
DayZ's even using the same port range :P
currently not hosting that server ^
but yeah they do lol
damn dog
no firewall either
tbh fuck it whatever I give up
been at this for like 3 hours can't figure it out
it isn't that complicated, I did everything I could
Never have issues hosting shit, always with arma 3.
It's on a different PC :/
I mean why tf isn't it working then :l
What's your test anyway?
everything is checked off, allowed through, forwarded, correct IP.
and my buddy can't see me on friends or the internet
Those port checker pages never work for me. ISPs block them or something.
yeah they're somewhat unreliable
well, first things first. Check in netstat -a -n that UDP 2302+ aren't being used already. Then start the server and check again.
Not really. Arma does usually manage to bind ports :P
You don't have a second router, do you? Ran into a lot of people with two layers of NAT internally.
I have two, but they're both uther the same pramaters
uh
yeah not dealing with that shit.
haha
No worries man, thank you for your time.
I just don't understand why arma 3 won't work, I've had every other server I'm hosting work flawless.
I got them connected to the same router
i got a MINI pc on my desk next to my main desktop
fuck it, I'll host it on that mini pc then.
do the Tanoa missions come up on a dedicated server? I've never played with arma 3 dedicated server stuff @umbral narwhal
or do you like select a map?
If you don't put a class Missions in the server.cfg then it just gives you the mission selector when you connect.
And that should have the tanoa coop missions in it.
Otherwise you can get the same screen by logging in as admin and using #missions
Have you noticed you are specifying the same ports for that DayZ server and Arma 3? Yet those are on different IPs. How is that router/firewall supposed to know which way to go?
Doesn't matter. The router send the packets to whatever IP that has the highest priority. My guess is by top of the list. So any Arma 3 traffic goes to DayZ-computer instead. Even if it is turned off.
feel like I'm missing something stupid..
Using the RHS Apache
Drone is up lasing a target
Can't seem to lock target at all? LOBL or LOAL, mashing t, r, ctrl t, ctrl r, nothing does anything, no pips or markers or tones
Trying on Altis salt flats, definitely have line of sight, tried a few different ranges
can anyone help me with an issue I've been having with arma for a few week now?
every time I press play on steam, the launcher doesn't open, and I get an error log. When i type the log into google it says that I need to install Microsoft redistributable, but when I do (which I did several times for couple of weeks) it still doesn't fix the issue. I already tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling, verified integrity and nothing seems to work. Not sure what else to do from here.
What error you got
System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'System.Windows.Interop.BrowserInteropHelper' threw an exception. ---> System.MethodAccessException: Attempt by security transparent method 'System.Windows.Interop.BrowserInteropHelper.set_IsInitialViewerNavigation(Boolean)' to access security critical method 'MS.Internal.SecurityCriticalDataForSet`1<System.Boolean>.set_Value(Boolean)' failed.

Hey guys i need help with this weird thing , For the longest time i always had this bug where for the first 20-25 minutes of gameplay some mods wouldn’t work and other glitches would happen What happens is;
_ACE doesn’t work / menu wont show up when i press ctrl + windows key
_Zeus has this weird overlay and doesn’t function (check picture)
_My options are not all available, no audio, video, controls, addon options, only ACE headbug fix (also picture attached)
_DCONs vehicle spawner doesnt appear in scroll wheel menu
_Recoil Coefficient changer mod doesn’t work
_DUI Squad Radar doesn’t show up
These are the ones that i directly know about because interactions with them are common and noticeable when they are missing (for example DCONs is always there when i scroll for example, Recoil coefficient changer is noticeable when its not there...etc) so there could be a bunch of other things that don't work and i don't notice them
After 20-25 minutes everything would clear and work again Some mods do work, i can access SSPCM and toggle invincibility and virtual arsenal and virtual garage and they’ll open and i can edit my arsenal and everything
Does anyone know how i can fix this? In the past i had a makeshift fix for it where i would just access virtual arsenal through sspcm at the beginning of my mission and it would take 5-6 minutes to load in and after it would load everything would be fine This fix doesnt work anymore and all i can do now is just wait until this spell-like bug can fade away which sometimes takes 2-3 minutes and other times takes 10-15 minutes
Oh and another thing i remember is that when i used to use Automatic view distance it wouldn't function until this weird bug passed after 10-15 minutes
Hey everyone! I'm having a REALLY weird issue regarding a mission hosted in Multiplayer. On initial load-in, all compositions placed on the map are functioning. But if someone joins after the initial load/ready up, map compositions completely break and I have zero idea as to what could be causing it. What I've figured out is that it IS a mission issue and NOT a server issue, as we've tested both on a dedicated server and locally. I'm not sure what information would be helpful, so feel free to poke me with questions as well.
Anyone knows why i cant press left mouse button to throw in server? It works perfectly outside of server but wont work in server
You are using a mod that the server is not using? I suspect ACE 3.
Maybe you want the server to use ACE 3 (or whatever mod that allows that) but it failed to actually load it. Check the server RPT logfile for details in the second table. Maybe it couldn't find the mod. Or it was not completely downloaded/corrupt.
idk if this is the right channel to say this but, is anyone else having issues with posting recruitment in #community_units
"/community" just doesn't show up as a command
You need to be member of some group I think. Read the pinned messages in that channel.
I am, I've been posting in there, the command doesn't want to work
I'll restart pc and see if that works
Could be the bot is out of order.
Restart Discord maybe. Sometimes Discord itself does an iffy
#discord_server would be the place to ask about this servers functions in the future
ok, got it to work. One of my hard drives had a loose cable and somehow was preventing the discord commands to work
Unrelated
My Arma forgets settings changes I make
I'll make a set of addon settings, I restart the game, and the set is gone
This goes for graphics settings, audio, etc.
Like it's reverting to a previous state my profile was in
disable one drive
it messes up saving the profile
Alright, I'll see if that works
Or something causes Arma to crash and corrupt your profile files. But you should get a message about that when Arma crashes.
I mean it's not crashing
It just forgets
Maybe some kind of mismatch between profile folders or something, no clue
Disabling one drive did not fix it
If it wasn't Onedrive, and the game didn't crash causing corrupted files, then it could be dodgy drives. Windows Event viewer would be able to show indications of that.
Computers don't just "forgets" unless the power goes out.
The computer itself is not forgetting, I'm thinking it's the launcher and its parameters
I'll set those to default and see if it helps
That or windows automatically sets the Arma profile folders (Located in Documents) to read only
Seems to be the latter
It was this. Windows had set the Arma profiles to Read Only, so any changes made to these folders (Changing settings ingame) were not saved.
If you mean the checkmark on the properties of that folder, every folder has that. Windows uses different file permissions to prevent you able to modify files.
I know that. I also know the documents folder sets itself to Read Only on its own
Not me who set the profile folders there though, I'm pretty sure they're located in documents by default
For the time being, the settings seem to work well, probably until I restart the pc and they set themselves to Read Only again lol.
Yes, Arma or Steam does that.
Is it possible to move the Arma profile folders elsewhere?
no
Dang
you can tell Arma Launcher to use different folders for a profile. But the primary profile will always be in your Documents/Arma 3 folder.
So I could just make a new profile elsewhere and set the path to it in parameters
yes that can work
Nice
How do I make the profile, making one ingame just makes a new one in documents
Make a folder for profiles in a desired location. Set the parameter (in launcher) for profile locations with that path. And use name parameter if you want a certain profile name. Then it should create the profile when you start Arma with those parameters.
Like this?
Yes, that is the base folder of where profiles will be created in.
Booted up the game, it loaded up with default settings
But under the name of a profile I already have
It has these two profiles I already had
My windows user acc is not named ElPedroChico though
Then I don't know where that names comes from. Arma 3 can't make that up. So you specified it somewhere.
Its the name of a profile I have in Arma
Oh well, I'll figure it out at another time
Does anyone know why when starting and loading a scenario initially, compositions and props load correctly in their right sizes and rotation, but when disconnecting and reconnecting they no longer appear in their proper positions, while extremely slowly, slowly restore said positions/rotation?
Hallo! Juste having a bit of trouble with uploading a mission to a dedicated server. The error is this:
20:59:59 Warning Message: Preprocessor failed on file 'mpmissions__cur_mp.malden\mission.sqm' - error 7 (source 'mpmissions__cur_mp.malden\mission.sqm', line 204).
Not entirely sure what is wrong. I have not changed anything in the SQM that could have caused it. I can open and play the mission in the editor, not tried regular singleplayer
Also, i should note, the error changes line every time we load the mission the server
Are you uploading with FTP?
FTP? Its uploaded via a website to the server hosted by GTX
this only used to happen to a friend but now it happened to me, vehicle turret movement is broken
got any controllers/joystics plugged in?
Or can you confirm this in other Arma 3 vanila vehicles? Looks modded to me.
Well Panther is a vanilla vehicle
Ok, my bad. Looked through tracked Arma 3 vehicles in fandom wiki but didn't see what looked the same. Must have looked incorrectly.
no
yes it happens in other vehicles
fixed itself by now
What would be causing my server to not allow text chat until you hit the map screen? Didn't used to be an issue and I'm not sure what I changed...
Is there a reason/fix for mods showing they’re subscribed on the Steam Workshop but not appearing in the Arma 3 launcher nor in-game?
Also I’ve had a repeating Arma 3 workshop content download that doesn’t show a file size and repeats itself after the file validation — is this a related thing to the above problem? Lmk if more info is needed
You sure you subbed to a Mod?
several hundred lmao
this is a recent problem so it’s probably something I subbed to recently. could it be an issue with mods that are hidden on the workshop?
So do you mean hundreds of items are not shown?
No, the majority of my subbed mods appear in the launcher but some occasionally disappear from there, e.g. Enhanced Movement appeared in the launcher/game as expected but Enhanced Movement Rework was not even though I hadn’t unsubbed and the steam workshop showed I was still subbed
Another example is the RHS suite — I suddenly had a bunch of missing dependencies because the core 4 RHS mods didn’t appear in the launcher and fixing missing dependencies forced a download of all four. updates typically download automatically so I don’t think it’s an out-of-date thing
How many you subbed in Workshop?
879 tagged “Mod” in the workshop but a bunch more compositions and scenarios
778 listed in the launcher
also should have mentioned the update doesn't show a specific workshop item
It actually look like an Steam issue. Have you restarted Steam itself?
you can try exiting steam and deleting the workshop content for arma 3 and its associated vdf, only delete the arma 3 appid folder!!
then validate steam.
yeah thats normal, launcher isnt going to show compositions and scenarios
weird, steam client issue definitely
thats expected unfortunately
session lost verifying pbo failed message in single player editor appeared
it worked fin before the new year ... any idea ?
Post your exact error message
session lost verifying pbo failed arma 3
is that the whole error?
verify your game files on steam would probably be first step
!steamverify
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.
So I have a friend and he trys to connect to my mp server I host so basically he connects and then goes back to main menu. Its like instant
Ive tried all the basics and nothing so idk mostly
is the appid folder %SteamLibrary%\steamapps\common\Arma 3!Workshop in the Arma 3 files or %SteamLibrary%\SteamApps\workshop\content\107410 ??
the latter, the former is a junction which you might want to delete it too just in case, the launcher will regenerate everything
Hey guys I've noticed that sometimes when removing bodies from a vehicle it cannot be entered, like the body is still stuck in the vehicle
Has anyone else seen this bug before?
How do you remove bodies?
using the ace interaction menu
Sorry, I'm not familiar with ACE.
Could be vehicle is locked
enter the other seat and see if you can get rid of the body from inside?
Nah it's when you remove the body, once it's removed other seats can be entered just fine. But the seats where the body was is not able to be entered
We had a machine gun truck that the enemy ai Gunner died in. Once his body was reminded there was no open to take the seat
I suspect it's a mod issue, just wondering if anyone had seen or heard of issues like this before?
With ACE, yeah. I think it was supposed to be fixed though.
Although I think ACE used to eject bodies by moving the player into the seat, so maybe it's an issue with the new method versus Arma.
hey so im having a server hosting issue and basically my friend that lives far away cannot connect
everyone that lives close to me though are able to connect though
Close as in same house?
like block or so away
Same internet service provider?
have no idea
but basically he taps connects he goes to loading screen then back to main menu saying nothing
its odd
tried the basics too
Don't really know whose end the problem is at given that evidence. I can try connecting if you give me the IP & port in DMs.
alright im in a match of csgo rn but ill boot up server after
I hope it's not CGNAT
probably not the right place to ask. However, I need help. I just loaded into arma 3 and it has reset my character face AND all my ace loadouts have been deleted. I have no idea why it did this and im confused. Could someone help me out?
Your profile got reset or it loaded the wrong profile
so I have all my profiles, but it just reset my face for some reason
and all my loadouts have been deleted
Have any of your settings changed?
as far as I saw no, all settings and such have stayed the same its just my face reset and my loadouts are gone. Also of note I cant apply a name change to my profiles either. When I try to apply changes it just gets stuck on the menu and doesnt actually apply the changes
That sounds like it somehow got set to the default profile, which is always the same as the name of your computer
anyway to work around this?
if your profile is gone, then its gone
so my profiles are all there
everyone of them
its literally just my Face has reset and all my arsenal loadouts are gone
it usually means it cant read the files right
or the files themselves got reset for some reason
if you got onedrive thats known to mess up profiles
I think I deleted onedrive. Might be a long shot but would windows updates affect it at all?
well its possible it could enable one drive again for example
ah
thats fair. Ill have a look into it
cant say I can recall anyone saying win update had mess up their profile but cant say its impossible either
I know my previous problem was windows was blocking arma access to its files and I excluded it and it had fixed my problems before
but this is just an issue I have never seen
if you happened to upgrade to win11 from 10 that could dfefinitely do stuff
might be good to check that didnt get enabled again
will do definitely
hey would here be for general Arma troubleshooting or can I ask about some Eden issues here?
this channel can work if its for bug or something like that but for general how to use editor we do have #arma3_editor
alright bet
Issue im having is I added a custom image into a Mp scenario and it worked being put onto a leaflet.
after shutting down the game and my pc properly one day, coming back to it the next day every time i now open the mission in the editor or when Im testing it in MP, it says the custom image is not found
even though its still in the directory with no change
I've deleted the leaflet objects that any module that calls for the image and it still says the image cant be found
if it stills calls it to get the errot you have to be using it somewhere
you actually just saved me a few days of head ache
it was the biggest overlook of the century thanks for being a second brain on this lmao
Just to update I figured out my issue. I had changed my name of my profile however the launcher still had the parameters set to the previous name so it was just fucking with the game
Not too sure if this is the best place to ask this, but I'm having some trouble joining the server of an arma unit all of a sudden.
Today I tried to join our Arma unit's server which is currently on the map Sahrani
I was able to join last week on the map, however this week anytime I try to join I am put on a loading screen that lists the map Wild Mountains, and it never loads.
All other people that joined the server were able to successfully load onto the server and play without issue.
Nothing has changed (that I'm aware of) since I was last able to successfully join.
I disabled Wild Mountains and tried again, but a different incorrect map took its place.
I repaired the CUP Terrains - Core and CUP Terrains - Maps mods from which Sahrani comes from and tried again, but I was getting the same issue.
I uninstalled both CUP Terrains mods, reinstalled them, and tried again, still getting the same issue.
I then uninstalled all steam workshop mods and verified my Arma 3 files. 2 Files failed to validate and were reacquired. I reinstalled our mods and tried again, yet still got the same issue.
I then tried verifying my files, of which they verified without issue, and the problem persisted.
I attempted switching between the main Arma branch and the profiling branch, but this didn't help either.
I attempted to and was able to successfully load Sahrani, Southern Sahrani, and Wild Mountains in Eden Editor. I then attempted to join the server but got the same issue.
During this I also cleared my Steam download cache and restarted steam and I also restarted my computer during my attempts.
I'm not sure what else to try or what the issue could be. I was talking to the guy running the server and he said the server logs weren't throwing any errors whenever I tried to join.
does the server force list of mods to use?
No, it does not.
everyone joining a server should use absolutely same mods
in these cases typically there is some mismatch
As far as I'm aware, that is the case - we are using the same mods.
I can speak for myself and a couple buddies at least that we are only using the mods given to us in a preset.
it might be useful if the server did not run any extra terrains except the one you intend to play on
uh i just loaded in at the menu screen
and it wont let me press anything
Only for 64 bits tho
I tried the 32 but i didnt like it
More info like pinned posts are welcomed
What exactly you've tried, expected result and what you got
No messages but i cant click anything, i can only use arrow keys
Singleplayer
N/A
Menu Screen
No mods
PC specs (OS, CPU, GPU, RAM etc) Device name
Processor AMD Ryzen 5 4600G with Radeon Graphics 3.70 GHz
Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.8 GB usable)
GPU NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1650
RPT files?
idk if this is correct
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.
Anyone know what causes the following error?
(function BIS_fnc_respawnTickets) Attempting to use the function on Al unit, can be used only on players.
Doesn't that say enough? Attempting to respawn something that is an AI instead of a human player.
Ah, I must have accidentally set a player unit as unplayable maybe. I shall investigate. I didn't quite understand what the error was saying so that's why I came here
Hi, I am having trouble adding the Zeus DLC to my steam library even though I purchased the ultimate edition. I believe someone else previously noted this issue and had to get into contact with steam. Was just wondering if there was any update on this issue?
Oops, think I've verified myself on the server now
It's a free platform update, you should not have to do anything to have access to it. It's actually absent from your DLC library?
I managed to get the Malden DLC registered to my steam library via steam DB but no such luck with Zeus
I think its bundled with the base game so theres no options just to reinstall it via steam
That is very weird and does sound like a steam customer support case
Yeah I'm gonna enjoy the game in the meantime but have raised it with them
Luckily the rest of the core DLC is installed
@mint heart have you checked ownership in steam store and ownership in game?
It might help to log off from Steam, shutdown and restart it. While the game and launcher is not active.
anyone know how to put a server on the dev branch?
theres 4 options and idk which one:
Stable
profiling
performance
RC
there's a dev branch somewhere
profiling and performance are in the same branch
you might want to read up about the arma 3 branches in biki
is it normal for tripwires to sometimes not explode when stepped on?
id say so yes. buggy...
bear in mind other people also need to be in Dev_build before they can enter your Dev_build server.
check #dev_rc_branch the beta code should be there
if not then it's the RC, since it's for 'release candidate'
Why do you want to play the dev branch in the first place? If it is for the supposed 'multithreading support' then that is also available in Performance branch. (which is crossplay compatible with people on main branch, dev branch is not) And the change is only minor compared to the multithreading it does since ages already. Don't expect miracles of it.
Maybe he wants to get some early QA in.
i have a problem
i cant change game settings (for the server)
i dont have any mods
i have a new profile
and game is freashly installed
What game settings are you talking about?
the server game settinfs
crosshair
How are you running the server?
host new server
lan
select mission
and play
oh, localhost.
yeah
At what point are you trying to change the settings? The mission selection screen?
I tried both ways
Mission selection screen
And main game screen
Neither of them worked
I wonder if that happens if Arma can't write to the profile. Surprised it doesn't just black-hole the changes like everything else.
Then what i can do
It's just a theory.
Try saving a loadout in the arsenal and see if it's still there after you restart Arma.
I mean can i do something that might solve the problem
Like troubleshooting?
Ok
does anyone know how you can eject from a jet whilst remote controlling it in zeus? (eject works fine if its like a player in a vehicle but it doesn't give me the option if im remote controlling an AI in zeus)
Make sure you change your difficulty settings before you start the server and it's scenario. Can't change it when the scenario started.
How could i even change the settings when iam in a scenario
Do you mean if i played a scenario once i cant change its game settings forever?
No, once it has started you cannot change the difficulty settings.
Change the settings, then start a server with a scenario on it. Or singleplayer for that matter.
hey guys, arma is being arma and is throwing access violation at me again and idk how to fix it, my milsim server has a troubleshoot section and it didnt work, i restarted my pc and updated my drivers and still doesn't work
i kinda need this fixed ASAP due to having a OP on rn
was working last time i played which was yesterday
24 hours ago on the dot
Im assuming you're running with mods?
I would suggest trying to verify game cache through steam first, if it was working then suddenly isnt
Sudden failure like that is due to corrupted game/mod files, or temporary memory failure.
If you haven't, try restarting your computer as well
ywas
i have
verifyed game files through steam
updated drivers
followed my milsim units troubleshoot guide
restarted 4 times
ran SFC
Recommend trying to use the profiling Arma build;
Just a steam beta code
is there a way to check for update/repair all mods at once?
0 idea what that is?
Only way I know of that is verifying game files or reinstalling the mods itself
One sec
ok
Right click Arma 3 in steam -> Betas -> Profiling
May atleast aleviate the immediate issue
then just run arma once i do that?
Yeah
arma is just not armaing rn
Have you tried using a different arma profile?
i cant switch profiles
I've noticed some times a profile can get corrupt and then cause the error under certain circumstances
Why?
i cant load in
Oh into the game at all?
no
so we have a mod that lets us choose the server we wanna load into from arma, we use the "play with mods" button
and we have a custom loading screen but i cant get past it
Maybe able to use the profile parameter in the launcher?
https://i.imgur.com/TN6o3hq.png
So you're able to get to that screen fine, but crash when trying to join server?
the no entry thing is normal
no so i gotta wait like 30 seconds then i cant close the popup, but now when the 30 seconds is up it CTD
So with this specific mod set, is it only you that has this issue?
That doesn't seem like a profile-related crash, but a more mod-related one.
So other people that are joining the OP are running the same mods?
everyone has the same mods
Do you know if it happens without any mods?
if you dont, you can load into the server but then ACE kicks you
u cant join
Im aware, but trying to narrow down the cause of the crash
Are you able to join other servers is kinda what I mean
let me try
If its a mod related crash, I'm not well versed in them, other than just disabling them
Hm. Could try uninstalling all of your mods and reinstalling them, but thats more of a last resort.
the red 3 mean anything?
Just means its not 1:1 with server mods - Hence the red 3 next to Mods: (if I recall correctly)
Could that cause it?
Shouldn't cause a crash
At that point, the only thing I could suggest is an uninstall/reinstall of the mods, but for some people that's not really ideal. Unfortunately I can't think of anything else to help
i need help pls i cant start arma 3 get this error i have chech verify integrity pls i need help
Delete Arma 3\addons\anims_f_data.pbo and verify again
I would not recommend this unless this issue can be narrowed down to a bug the Profiling or performance branch actually fixes. Perf/Prof branch can still be consired somewhat unstable. It has not gone through all testing loops.
Unfortunately that is a quite generic error code. Consider doing the steps mentioned in this list for that code. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_Process_Exit
It lists to reinstall the Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable package. But that is old news I think. Since 2.18 the launcher requires the latest version for 2022 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170
i did install a new version of C++ think it was Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022
No. 2013
so install 2013
Wasn't recommending it as a permanent fix, was more or less just trying to narrow down the cause. My apologies.
I thought Dedmen wrote that they required 2022 now.
Indeed I forgot, but maybe it was about Launcher?
I do remember it was related to the launcher functioning correctly. But anyway, upload the crashdump to the feedback tracker site @warm bronze and the devs can probably tell you why it crashes after monday morning EU time.
does anyone know how you can eject from a jet whilst remote controlling it in zeus? (eject works fine if its like a player in a vehicle but it doesn't give me the option if im remote controlling an AI in zeus)
Try double tapping "v", or whatever you have binded to eject
It should either eject your remote controlled unit, or stop remote controlling (I haven't tested and don't remember the default behaviour)
If it stops remote controlling, you might need to write a script or make a script mod to give an eject option
yeah, i've tried that but it still won't let me eject for some reason - if the plane gets hit it just automatically ejects when im remote controlling it
it does the same with the navigation lights
Might be the weird controlling AI vs playing as player
A bunch of stuff works differently because of the difference between "player" and currently controlled unit
So I deleted the appid folder and junction and redownloaded my subscribed workshop content and not much has changed -- from time to time in the launcher I'll still have several mods that show they're loaded but need to download when they should already be downloaded/disappear unexpectedly (just happened with Better Inventory).
I'm also still getting a non-stop update for Arma 3 that only validates for a bit (on occasion it will show a file size) but every time it completes another download shows up in the queue. This happens with both the standard and profiling builds selected.
This started happening a bit after I downloaded this mission and I see that other users are reporting the same thing. Any idea what it could be?

what does this mean DX11 error : buffer Map failed : DXGl_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED
that is why It crashed I think
Graphics card went missing.
Send me the crash report
No. 2022 only.
No
Noted
Only some A3 tools tools are not updated
ok
Anyone know how to keep the AI from going through the entire list of facewear? Feels like it wasnt an issue a few months ago, now half the AI that spawn have HALO masks or something else
depends entirely on whatever script you got to randomize that
could be some mod you have breaks it too if you are using some list that some mod overrides
hoi, tried to repackage some mods for private use, used to tool to sign them, yet when i upload the package + key just created it says signature mismatch.
as said i just created that key, any idea?
i ofc also use the signature check feature of the tool
Hey, is it any way to check the .rpt file in-game? Maybe using advanced developer tools?
I don't mean the onscreen prompts given by debug mode, but an in-game way to look into what's been written in .rpt file.
no dont think so
RPT file is not in an accessible place
I've recently set up a server on ScalaCube and added some mods to it. Prior to adding them it worked, but now whenever i am in the loading screen for a mission it just closes my game with the ACCESS_VIOLATION error code. Everything works fine with arma apart from when i join the server. Why does this happen and how do i fix it?
have you read the rpt at all?
I dont see any errors
add one mod at a time to see which one(s) errors
that is the bane of using so many mods
For one thing, XYI_DataBase_Addon mod wasn't found. See the second table. Probably partial download of corrupted file.
Don't know if that was the cause of the crash though. But it certainly isn't flawless.
Apparently the crashing was mission-related. Now whenever i enter one of the default missions it just throws me back into the mission select screen
Still no clue why
I seem to be having this weird issue where none of my difficulty settings are actually saving, does anyone know what is up with this?
Arma can't write to the profile, most likely.
what's the recommended fix here?
for some reason the profile is on my one drive
I imagine that would be why
does anyone know anything about ACE
Disable onedrive, either for everything or just the profile folder
Or move your profile folder using the parameter in the launcher
How can you give yourself multiple lives in a single player scenerio in the eden editor? I would die and then just respawn where I died.
If player got a dead-worthy damage, disable that damage and restore health, then setPos
Can someone please explain this to me why is this log pop out from my desktop?
It will generate such upon a crash of Launcher. Harmless to delete
send me the crash report (the mdmp file)
And remove your useless cpuCount/exThreads parameters. Also I suspect you don't want to use that malloc that you have there either.
Ask for help from whoever created the mission then.
what its is mod name???
Ask the server admin that was played on? Or whoever made the video. (Also, not really a troubleshooting topic)
yes ask admin, what mod name help thanks 🙂
here is wrong place
look/ask in the youtube comments or join their discord
we cant guess from your images
I can't even tell what is supposed to be a mod in those images.
yeah, it also looks like some bits are broken
hey, removed the parameters. The game no longer crashes, so no mdmp. It just kicks me out to the mission select screen after readying up in the role picker screen. I still have no clue why this is happening
@normal jacinth Usually means a critical mod isn't loaded somewhere.
Check the mod tables in the RPTs.
Hia, played thousands of hours of ArmA in the past, 6 months since I've last played I've reinstalled the game and my voice chat no longer works, I've done all the things people tend to say are fixes, even tried routing my mic through VAC, I'm at a loss, shouting at my screen when I see people infront of me 🫠
Can anyone think of any reasons my mic no longer works? I've had no hardware changes in my hiatus either.
Set your microphone as the default input device in Windows?
And make sure you are not on a push-to-talk mode/keybind. Or are pressing that.
Check what Valen stated before this -
I've heard this issue quite often, and I generally suggest people go into audio settings and hit "Auto Adjust" under their microphone. Not entirely sure what it does, however it's fixed the issue for 90% of the people I've talked to as well as myself.
https://i.imgur.com/3yYfzfk.png
Anytime I hit that button it flickers up the menu and immediately closes, have tried this with no luck too
Have you tried it while in the main menu of Arma, or while on a server? I know a few servers have disabled displays like that
Yeah, will give it another go when I'm back at my PC in a bit, really hoping that'll fix my issues. I cannot play KOTH or coop without VOIP
I dont know if im in the right channel but i wanted to ask for advise on HostHavoc hosting if this is not the right channel could you please point me in the right direction ?
If you have issues with your HostHavoc server, then the first place to ask for help is at HostHavoc. You are paying them for their services. They should explain how it works.
Which game are you trying to host on your server?
Oh, I see you already found the Arma 3 #server_admins channel
Can i somehow check it serverside? I believe one of the mods mightve broke while I was uploading them
Have you tried it while in the main menu
You'd need to find the server RPT. Or whatever they're writing stdout and stderr to if it's a Linux server.
If anyone else is able to assist with this i'd appreciate it big time
They seemingly aren't generated by the server. I see console.log files in my profiles folder but most are usually empty or have like 10 lines
Do you have the -noLogs startup parameter enabled (in whatever management console) for the commandline?
Dont think so. Then again the hosting service doesnt provide a full commandline manager so Im not sure. All I can do is change the profile and mods
Then ask the hosting service where the RPT files are. You need that information to troubleshoot correctly. Can't manage it while being blind.
Ill be back once i get in contact, cheers
While im waiting for a response from support, whats the differnece between servermods and mods?
servermods only run on the server. The other -mods= have to run on both the server and the game client. Often things like mods to interface with databases or other technical stuff only need to run on the server. The mod creator should say if it is a proper server-mod. When it doubt, load it as a normal mod with -mod= on the server.
That clears up a lot of things. I got a reply from support saying all the "necessary" settings are in the control panel. I did also find gameserver logs in the control panel, which are split into 14 pages. yikes
They can become long. The more mods you use, the mod lines are added.
Looked through the pages and see no errors unfortunately. I'll try and upload to pastebin in a second so you may have a look
console log alongside local RPT
https://pastebin.com/1tPJGTYp
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
Check the table of mods in the pastebin about 4/5th down. A couple of the mod folders on the server appear to be empty for the server. GAME DIR (Empty) So somehow a corrupted or partial download of them.
Good eye man. I'll try and redownload them since all the file sizes seem the same
Oh, it might be addons/Addons
GAME DIR (Empty) means that the folder exists but there's nothing in the addons folder. But some mods mis-case it so Linux servers don't load it.
@normal jacinth
But if your provider doesn't have a "lower case everything" button and just makes you use FTP, you'll need to lower-case all the PBOs locally.
Yeah I just checked, all the empty mods have the addons folder capitalised
So by lowercasing them it'll be fixed, right?\
I think dedmen might have fixed the PBO case issue though and it's just addons/Addons now?
Probably not, but you definitely need to lowercase them.
Linux providers usually do have a "lower case everything" button, so do check for that.
Unforunately mine didn't have one. I managed to do 50 mods manually lol
It's the addons folders that are the issue
You have possibly found the worst server provider in existence.
Although there are many challengers.
I'm kinda sick of providing free support so that these companies can carry on providing shit service :P
Doesn't help that none of them are good enough to recommend.
I think the best way of hosting arma is locally through FASTER :P
nothing can beat it
Thank you for the help, I'll be back once i rename everything
when im playing arma 3 my screen goes black for about 2 seconds then it goes to normal from time to time. i run it at 120 fps so ik my pc can run it
You sure it is Arma 3 issue
What good does that to you if the server doesn't run, or prevents you from joining?
When I tried launching arma
it goes black screen then this
any help?
i bought this game yesterday
i can only run it on 32 bit
Google for your actual error "Cannot create shader Unknown, error 887a0005" shows me a few results.
All of them forums of people who couldn't solve their issue.
It seems to be a graphics driver issue

https://feedback.bistudio.com/T151121 here is one guy who solved it after updating drivers. But you are already on the latest drivers

ouch, maybe get 64 bits hardware
you could try reinstalling the gpu drivers
or rolling to a earlier version perhaps
I got a question for when making something in the editor
How do I make Opfor people to not have their secondary drawn
I'm trying to disguise enemies as civilians and give them only a pistol but they have them drawn which kinda blows their disguise
Anything I can do?
any idea what could cause this, i'm running a Hearts & minds scenario in a dedicated server (heavily modded), never had this in my previous scenarios, happens after i shoot at enemies, the sound is fine, but when i get a weapon (in this case i got a lmg) and shot for a while at enemies sounds of all kinds start looping/bugging like this, and sometimes the vehicles teleport back with the rythm of the sound bug,
i have acess to the server log in case anyone can help me figure this out
there is a bunch of
Ref to nonnetwork object af2ba18b40# 4199715: i_c_soldier_para_3_f.p3d I_C_Soldier_Para_3_ for what appears to be all units the Hearts & minds game mode created, not saying it's their fault, most likely is something i did or a mod we have, just want some help narrowing where the problem could lie at
i think i found it, it was a mod that had a loop with fadeSound
in the server's .rpt mentioned above there's hundreds if not thousands of Server: Object 4:47 not found (message Type_#) and Server: Network message 70ba9 is pending T_# every second, where the #'s are a number/id mentioned.
how can i figure out what these are?
Trial and error. Arma devs won't tell you for security reasons.
Generally object not found is "normal" and network message is pending means that the server is trying to send too much.
Guys I created my own Warlords scenario for only a few capture points in Prairie Fire, but when I try to but assets I just have vanilla assets not Vietnam assets ? What needs to be changed please ?
Load in to a mission is prevented as it says Picture 0; not found

Any ideas?
IHey guys, I have my issue with my home server/pc.I still cant get it to show up online.And also i now know of 3 other ppl in the last 3 months that have same issues.A couple of those guys manage servers for groups in the past.Any tips? Arma in the past was always great and very usefull which has been a big part of the success of the game.Wtih Arma 3 its all gone to hell.
The only way i can get a server to show on LAN is to do install of full game and then install dedi server ....Its a real mess and is costing the company money.Needs to be sorted ASAP.Or at least easy to follow steps/guide on a sure fire way of doing it.Not being able to join a friend on a LAN is really really really poor engineering...
You mention both "show up online" and "show on LAN" how exactly are you trying to host it? and how are others trying to join?( and are they on the same network? )
what are you talking about? the networking system has stayed the same as the previous versions, probably just code rot :v
Mods disappear from launcher/non-stop game update
i mean, didn't GameSpy provide some NAT traversal setup?
To get my home server to show on a LAN with all clients on same LAN is to install full agme and then install dedi server. I havent yet once been able to get my server or my own game to show online.I cannot host a game myself (not server) and have ppl join via internet.Extremely dissappointed.The game is advertised as being able to do so... I shouldnt need to hire a pro to come to my house to setup the network seetings and router settings to get it to run the way it used to and almost all other games run.This is virtually misrepresentation of a product.It should be staed that the game only runs in MP if we join a profesionally setup host.The game industry doesnt survive because all gamers are PC/network techs.BI NEED to do something..... I have forgotten how many tims someone has invited me to join there game and they/we spent hours trying unsuccessfully to get a simple MP game going.Just his pc join my pc or vice versa.Doesnt work even for ppl with PC/skills and network experience.We all stumped...Broken or inaccessible for users,No where does it mention that netwoking qualifications are required for basic MP use.It used to be that there were more ppl joining each other than hosted servers.Aint like that anymore.Thats what is costing BI money....
If you're on the same LAN then join with the LAN IP. Modern routers tend to lack loopback support.
oh just pat ur head and rub your belly 👍
hey guys sorry for a random message but i got a question for u lads i hit a break wall with arma 3 I get the following error message: “Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permission to access the item.” i tried everything to fix this but nothing seems to work , would you lad possibly have any solutions to this problem iv been at it ALL DAY!
Bro chill I aint reading 80% rant with 20% info. have you tried having them connect with your lan ip like John suggested?
i have been playing
1/2/3 for hours but never hit problem like that before , any information on that error would be amazing cheers lads in advance
try verifying your files on steam, looks like a file went missing/corrupted
i tried that a few times but still the same error , even deleted the game and downloaded again , but ill give it another red hot crack
ran game as admin too
and what file does the error message say?
I can connect clients that are on LAN.I had to install the full game then install dedi server.The big issue is Online play.If i host myself or setup the server its the same deal.No one has ever =been able to see my game hosted.And neither has anyone else i know of been able to do it...I thought BI wouldve fixed this problem by now.Maybe it has to do with Steam or something.
What should BI fix? Read articles about game hosting and do it for you? Or configure your router? Or call your ISP and ask them to let you host game?
So this is not about LAN but online? did you port forward? this is not a BI issue, this is a you issue
It always worked in A1.A2,Ofp. but not now in A3.Dunno if it worked pre-Steam.
Now all works the same as it worked before and everything works fine for me.
Its about all of it.Shouldnt need to install full game to get dedi server to run.Never had to b4.I havnt port forwarded my router but others have and still no luck.Never had any of these issues in prior games.Thats the main issue.
I just forwarded ports on my router.
Did u port forward?
!localhost
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”
Never had to do that for previous titles.
Your internet connection might have changed in the past 10 years
I did check the IPv4 stuff.seemed correct.
For previous titles ports should also be forwarded. So nothing changed.
Wasnt needed by anyone
yep
Computer change, modem change, how your isp gives you Internet change.
Worked before is obsolete statement I'm afraid.
At least once a week someone invites me to there game but it doesnt work.
Big iuuse for BI.MP is almost broken'
an Engineer needs to look into it.
It works for most people.
*issue
none i know of
*no one
If u host a game i bet ppl wont be able to either see your game or join
I'ad bet money on it.
Dude, stop whining and blaming your problems on others.
....
I do need to set up portforward to host yeah
Its for the devs who read stuff m8
And allow the traffic through firewall
Most problems I've had has been my interactive firewall sometimes bugging and not showing the prompt to allow the traffic.
I usually turn all that off for best chance or working...
But that's very specific to my setup
i jsut use windows default configuration
Most gamers would back out of anything they that they had to portforward/ modify there routers
Thats a game killer.Needs to be fixed ASAP.No point in having a game only pc techs can setup.
I hope A4 is properly sorted.
Notice how nobody else is crying?
Minecraft, ARK, Rust etc etc etc all require you to port forward if you want to have other people join your server
Your options:
- Figure out how to port forward or use tools like Hamachi or Tailscale
- Join an already running server instead
- Rent a server from one of the many server providers
- Use UPnP.
any recommendation on how to fix this error i have -
ran as admin , deleted battleye redownloaded it, deleted game and dowloaded back
Are you on windows insider by any chance?
windows 11
turned off all virus protection off
prioritized arma 3 , i pretty much did everything i could but if anyone has any other opinions throw them this way haha
same thing now poping up with dayz which never used to happen only after downloading arma3
Do you have any other BattlEye games besides A3 and DayZ?
And can you check if you have windows insider turned off? Settings > Update & Security > Windows Insider Program, It can cause issues with battleye
You can also try running Arma3BattlEye.exe as admin
i just checked if i have windows insider on but dont think i do it says get started above it
and it wont give me the option to run BA as admin how would i do that
If you don't allow Arma 3 to receive from public networks in the Windows firewall then a server is not going to get any internet-players. You could get away with joining yourself to the LAN address.
You keep baiting...
@elfin falcon It could be that you need to start Steam as admin so it can install or update this Battleye service.
hey me and my friend are trying to play arma together and whenever either one of us hosts the other cant find the game to join it
also
my upnp doesnt work
if that might be part of the problem
because i cant host it with upnp
does anyone have any suggestions
i saw a youtoube video saying somethin about zero tier but wasnt quite sure if it was safe and all

thanks
but
what if my computer uses
ipv6
or my internet i mean
because when i go to settings
it says i have an ipv4
and an ipv6
well if you have the ipv4 address then just bind to that
Usually you can't see your public IP from settings though, are you looking at your internal IP?
uhh i have no clue what i did was settings > network and internet > properties then it was there
what do you mean bind it?
im kinda confused on what this is telling me to do
so im having an issue where I cant save my p3d in object builder. It keeps saying "This file doesnt exist" or "error during save operation"
save different name
you managed to lock the file in the windows fily system somehow
any way to undo that? I tried saving other projects and it keeps bringing up the same error
Network and internet properties does not have your internet IP. They only show your LAN IP (which can be a IPv4 and IPv6). You can get your internet side IPv4 (if your ISP provides one) when you look into your router and it shows something like internet or WAN address. Arma doesn't care about IPv6 addresses. You need to have a unique IPv4 address for hosting. You can compare it with the result of whatsmyip.org
I have encountered a problem like this. Can someone help me?
Is it actually causing problems? Usually this message is harmless and just means you might not be running some optional client-side mods
I can't play any mode, they all give this error and after 1 minute I get a notification that I've been kicked out of the game.
kicked with what reason?
I don't know, I don't agree at all, but I get a notification after waiting.
-either you dont have correct mods loaded or
-your game data is corrupted -> run steam install verification
-or the server is running old version of the game and you cant join.
start by testing one of the official Bohemia Interactive servers
and join games from the launchers server browser

What is your operating system?
what do you mean by that?
Windows 10, 11? Mac OS? Linux?

Did you see the launcher application come up when you press play in Steam?
yes
Did you do anything with the parameters tab in it?
Don't. Undo those.

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.
Get the file with the time and date in the name that reflects your last time trying to play it getthign the black screen.

how?
Do you not see the plus icon before the text entry line in this channel?
You probably have not acknowledged the rules or did the !verify command.

ı guess this is
Disk is probably fucked.
Sounds like you have corrupted files, or your disk you have Arma 3 installed on is dying.:
0:12:25 File read recovery from error 17 has failed with error 17: Veri hatas (d ng sel art kl k denetimi).

I don't know what that language is. Turkish?
yes
You can try deleting that file (heli/addons/cargoposes_f_heli.pbo) and re-verifying, but it's not a good sign for the hardware.
John beat me to it answering.
file (heli/addons/cargoposes_f_heli.pbo) where is it?
Steam, right-click on arma 3, manage, browse local files.
and is my hardware dying?
Also, the error message above shows where it is.
wrong one :P
It can happen that Steam makes errors saving files. But it can be that you have a magnetic disk with surface errors. Or you have an SSD which has had too many write cycles to the section where that file is.
Well, ok. But is the place where it should be.
And I think _heli means it is a folder or something inside that PBO.
ı didint understand any of that😅
Well, then bring your computer to a repair shop and let them test it for disk read errors.
Or just make sure you backed up anything critical and wait until it dies properly :P
Yes, these kind of error mean that sooner or later you are going to loose data on it.
ı will try one last time
ı gonna buy a new computer in a short time so
Copy important files on that disk to USB-stick!
Nah, it's in heli\addons rather than addons.
my arma is really choppy
any fixes?
ive turned the graphics down from
ulta
to high
but still runin 15 fps on average
turn it down more
Reduce rendering distances (to something sane and realistic as in what you can actually see), that helps a lot.
This video where he explains what ingame graphics settings to use worked alot for me. Not the rest outside of the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GktBSZcglFk&t=351s
We all have gotten stuck to 15 or 30 frames per second in Arma 3 despite your beefy rig. It is NOT optimized to any level. The game does NOT even use all of your CPU and GPU. See each step to increase your performance

hey the uhh view distance fps mod
i cant join any servers because of it

It would need to be whitelisted for you to use it, just adjust your view distance down manually unless it is
correct you cant use just any mods on most servers
only ones the server allows

you can also try virtual local network programs like Hamachi
thank you very much ur the best goat
not without more information
did you add them to the launchers mod list
The Info I can give is that before they are loaded and is working well, one day some of them disappeared and the files are still there but not the data of the mod itself on the launcher.
And I am still subbed on the workshop
It doesn't wanna automatically installed subbed mods
Then those mods either got removed by the mod-creator, or forced deleted by Steam or by Bohemia Interactive instruction. It probably wasn't a legit mod most likely.
Check if you can still find the mod page on Steam Workshop.
And try an unsubscribe/re-subscribe to get them back.

I am not, I am using the normal steam workshops
But I haven't tried the workshop cache yet
that's not what i meant
exit steam completely and delete the arma 3 appid related files and folders from steamapps\workshop and delete the !workshop folder
if it's too much trouble to understand any of what i said then don't attempt anything
so you mean deleting the whole workshop folder?
no, only the workshop data corresponding to arma 3 appid
Didn't fix it but I just fixed it myself
Thanks for the help still though
cool, what solved it?
anyone know why in achilles mode not all my assets show in the spawn menu
Not certain what achilles mode is
Achilles is a old zeus extension from what I know
Assets not showing up in zeus is often from the zeus module in the scenario not being set to include all addons
Hello uhm i am having a problem with the game whenever i try to start it up it shows "The Application was unable to start correctly (0x000009a)
Hey folks, I am trying to get Acre2 to run on linux. So far I got Acre 2 to install the plugin alone (meaning that arma does detect teamspeak) but teamspeak does not detect arma (see picture). I am running teamspeak with the same proton prefix as arma (through flatpak). Any idea of what could fix this issue?
As far as I know, it's a known unfixable issue that can be worked around
This is the guide for the workaround: https://9lo.re/project/armaonlinux/
I know it works, since a friend has had it working for around 1y now
Oh I tried following that guide
but the provided script did not work
as it was not made to work with flatpak it seems
Umm
Try the other version of steam I guess?
The ArmaOnUnix discord might be able to give more help
Well, I could do that. I'll try
but even then, it wouldn't be a great solution
have you got the invite link for that discord server?
Not certain how active it is
thanks
got this after the new ace update that came out yesterday in my timezone, does anyone else have this issue?
Id recommend trying to repairt the ace mod install in the launchers mod list
repair tool is in the [. . . ] menu
BattlEye is having issues, turn off BattlEye if you can. If you can't then you can't play for a few hours
looks like it
What Dedmen wrote!
just as shocked as you are xd
Note that if you're playing in a closed community with your own server, you probably don't need BattlEye
only need it if you don't trust your players to not cheat
Seems strange, my ace seems to work
Oh, and is the units service still down?
I fixed the acre issue by the way
for any future endeavourers, you "simply" have to ditch flatpak and use the armaonlinux script
ie install steam with your package manager
then run the script
and run arma through the pm steam
then run the script to run teamspeak
and it works
hello all. i got myself a new laptop and im having trouble connecting to my arma 3 server. I can connect fine on my gaming PC and so can my players in my group, its just this new laptop that's refusing to connect. i can connect to other stuff such as teamspeak and all which are all hosted on the same server machine.
im guessing its something to do with my ports but i have no idea how to troubleshoot this. arma only shows me connection failed when i try to connect to the server. i can see the server on the public list but i cant join it and i cant direct connect to it too.
You are trying to connect to a game that you are hosting on your PC?
nope. on a different machine. I have 3 machine, server, PC and laptop.
server hosts everything, arma 3 server, teamspeak server and other games.
PC connects fine to everything.
new laptop has no issue connecting to TS but cant seem to connect to Arma 3
Check the windows firewall settings
If it somehow didn't get configured correctly for arma, you can have issues with it
(Haven't encountered in arma, but in some other games)
i thought so too.
this new laptop comes with this norton360 AV thing. turned everything off, whatever live protection, smartwall firewall off. went to windows and just turned off firewall too but somehow still not able to connect
tempted to just uninstall this norton tbh 🤣
I mean PC works fine with just windows protecting it
Leave windows firewall on
Open windows defender, go to the firewall tab, and allow Arma 3 through firewall
That should fix any issues with windows firewall
you can post it but its most likely your network issue
aight. brb. uninstalling this bloatware
ok uninstalled norton. allowed arma through firewall. still cant connect.
rpt file for reference if anyone can help
also turned off firewalls and tried to connect but no success yet
As it's a new laptop, I'd just reinstall the thing with a clean copy of Windows.
There will be something on there blocking UDP or similar, but good luck finding out what.
turn off all mods on server and run some vanilla mission and see if that makes any difference
Arma3_x64.exe" -noSplash -ip= "-mod=... audible confusion noises
Oh, do try connecting to another server first.
tried connecting to official servers and wasnt able too as well
did you try from the launchers server browser?
giving this a go now.
nope nada.
gonna try run a vanilla server without battleeye
yup this didnt work as well
then it got to be some sort of issue in your network
change from my home network to my mobile hotspot did not solve the issue. so no idea what is anymore.
im concluding theres an app somewhere in this new laptop that's blocking my port for arma 3. proabably gonna have to do a fresh install just to remove whatever bloatware is hidden inside.
Arma3_x64.exe" -noSplash -ip= "-mod=... 
running the game on my PC with the same empty -ip= argument does lead to the same Error: createPeer failed errors i see in your RPT
whats suppose to be in there then?
nothing
no -ip= argument at all 
perhaps you have set hard launch parameters somewhere in the launcher
or in steams commandline
if we assume the launcher does that - it should be this option. Or "Command line" 
omg... i think it was this
that param was somehow ticked
was on the profiling branch and using the multicore and enabling the params and stuff. i already had it on PC and was like i should do this on the new laptop as well. did not realize i ticked an extra params...
bruh
tq guys for all the help 🙏
found it 😄
Heya Folks
probally a stupid question ...
how is it possible the i cant adjust my keybindings
like throw is standart on "G" i know on my old pc i had it on Left shift Left mouse button
and now on my new pc i cant put it back in
so i tried another combo lft ctrl + left mouse button this also doent work
cNt do it by hand and cant do it by the little menu on the right
anyone has an good idea what i can try
When you say can't do it, what does tha mean? You can't go into settings and change keybinds?
Yo, don't know if this is the place to ask but im currently having problems with my arma 3, it just happend randomly a week ago and its bothering me because the graphics are all blurred even when im like 10 m away and it would often gets more worse and worse this happends on both singleplayer and multiplayer game, anyone know the fix to it?
and my graphic option is just pointless, even on high graphics after a few seconds it will downgrade so much you can pretty much call that a slime texture..
this happends on both modded and vanilla.
could indicate problem with your gpu. Might be good to try reinstall the drivers
Or clogged fans
alright will try that
shouldn't be an issue since i have a habit of cleaning my device every day
It is more important with laptops than cased PCs. But many people never look at that, and then dust builds up into a thick felt layer.
yeah thats the thing im using laptop which is why i built that habit due to my careless mistake in the pass of not cleaning the fan on my last laptop
Which laptop do you have that it is so easily accessible on a daily basis?
it's definetly easy because i have a friend that does it for me lol, the laptop is HP 14-em0xxx
dang, still didnt work, graphics still turned into a mush within 30 seconds
Is this a laptop with both a discrete GPU and an IGP?
I can NOT give commands to the UAV, I can tell it to follow/destroy units but I can't give it move commands.
Can someone help me? Isn't it just right-click?
I can tell it what to do if I right-click on where it is going currently but that doesn't really help as that means I can only use units that are visible to the UAV's cams as waypoints..
i can go into settings and i know how to change binds
but the problem is that the system doesnt execpt this
the keyboard and mouse are working because i can play whit the standard settings
I dont understand what you mean by that
if you change keys they dont work?
to be honest ... i just found out you must drag them from right menu to wrds the left
thats only for like binds that you cant bind by pressing them
so confusing and whatever
@uncut trellis think they're referring to issues with assigning them and whatever
probably some problem with your keyboard or conflciting software
modifier keys
maybe ace is interfering?
more details needed I suppose 😅
no, it is fully Integrated
Would this be the place to go for modding issues as well or just vanilla Arma 3 issues?
what kind of modding issues?
specifically, upon adding a singular mod it makes everyone have the "Connecting Connected Disconnected" Issue.
could be broken mod
or the combination of mods you got does not work
(you also should only use mods that server runs)
Specifically Antistasi Plus just doesnt like workin.
even with just one mod it causes the Connect thing
just antistasi?
yeah
is it latest version?
yes.
are the people joining having all same correct mods?
yes, we've all reinstalled the game, reinstalled the mods, manually purged the mod files and redownloaded them.
are you hosting it locally or on external server?
Locally.
if you host any vanilla mission does that work?
no mods on a vanilla mission it works
its as soon as a SINGULAR mod exists it just dies.
any mod or just antistasi?
any of them.
then no idea. maybe someone else has ideas
thats what i'm hoping, i've been at this for 4 hours.
what confuses me the most is it worked a month ago.
@slow frigate What's your server setup?
its hosted from my PC, with properly forwarded ports.
but we just solved it 😭
apparently my PC just despises arma 3, and it fixed itself upon restarting my PC.
So I think this has to be one of the weirdest & rarest bugs (not suprised with my luck), as I have seen very few posts and none have fixed my issue, maybe someone else has had this here and solved it themselves, which is why I am asking.
I was playing Antistasi but it felt just too outdated so I switched to Antistasi+. I did not knew at the time but it was actually supposed to have its own mission, which after asking on Reddit why I couldn't save, looking for help, I was told to switch to Ultimate and when switching, I did not see any custom missions and just the default Antistasi mission. I chose and loaded in, it gave me a warning, saying that I should get the correct mission and that this is the wrong mission. I looked up a YouTube tutorial or two, and saw that people had a mission for Ultimate specificly. The issue is that even though Antistasi is disabled on my mod list, it is still showing with ANY mods, even with zero mods. I could not find any solutions and like I stated above, no previous posts was helpful. Can anyone help me, please?
Anyone experiencing problems with saving only certain difficulty settings in the latest regular build (no DLC, no Mods), such as "multiple saves"?
Steps to reproduce: go to options, difficulty settings. Select "Veteran" preset. Scroll to bottom, enable "multiple saves" (at this point the settings DO NOT INDICATE "CUSTOM", it stays on "Veteran"). Switching another option may trigger the preset to switch to "Custom". Anyway, when you close and open the settings again, the "multiple saves" is OFF, despite it just being enabled. This may happen with other diff. switches. Things I tried that didn't work:
- run as Admin
- move profile folder
- create new profile entirely
- switch to dev or prof builds
What worked as a workaround:
- enabling the option "multiple saves" directly in the .Arma3Profile file outside the game.
Looks like a bug to me. Can anyone test this?
What mission? I'll try.
After I fuck up some CP'ers in Ready or Not
Any mission, just try it in from the main menu. It's very weird, I didn't change anything with my setup.
create a new profile and see if this happens on it too.
Already tried, check op.
Aight imma try
I tried different missions, and yes. It does not let me save more than once.
Looks like a bug, if you switch to another preset (recruit or regular), the opposite happens, you cannot toggle it off.
@golden nova Hello
Huh
i wanna film a soldier in arma 3 spectator mode and make it fire its missile, how can i do this?
for arma 3 cinematic purposes
this is not exactly a troubleshooting issue. and also please dont ping people to ask general questions.
#arma3_questions is the general questions channel and we have various creative channels under Arma 3 Creative Editing channel group
What you want to do will require scripting
you can check out various available commands here 👆
hmm i dont know how to use this
lets say im on spectator mode , i type in player fire it dont work
youll probably need to experiment with how scripting works more.
is tghere a way to have free camera mode whilst still controlling your unit though?
probably not. you cant control both same time
cinematic things usually are scripted AI doing things in sequence
and not always in same sequence but more pieced together from multiple takes
but can u give me example script for example to just make a specific unit "fire"?
i need to give the unit a variable name first?
no dont have any at hand
_soldier fire "M16";
Example 2:
_soldier fire "SmokeShellMuzzle";
Example 3:
_soldier fire ["SmokeShellMuzzle", "SmokeShellMuzzle", "SmokeShellRed"];
Example 4:
player playActionNow "PutDown";
player selectWeapon "DemoChargeMuzzle";
player fire ["DemoChargeMuzzle", "DemoChargeMuzzle", "DemoCharge_Remote_Mag"];
player setWeaponReloadingTime [player, "DemoChargeMuzzle", 0];````
for scripting advice best to post at #arma3_scripting
Very old versions of Antistasi are missions, not mods. So they'll show in the mission list regardless of which mods you load.
hey so im trying to host an antistasi playthru with a couple buddies and whenever i host trying to use upnp it straight up fails every single time. ive gone into my router to turn on upnp and ipv4 aswell as set the ports to my pc for tcp and udp with every possible arma 3 port and to no avail it fails over and over
Isn't this a glitch in BI building ?
What glitch? Looks normal to me. Other than that you are hurt somehow.
seam of damage model maybe
probably, i haven't try to destroy it with a tank. I was surprised to be able to see throught the building
since the ACE update in January 2025 I can no longer play Arma, when I launch my scenario it freezes and shows me an error message telling me there is an update problem. when I check all the files in steam it tells me that everything is ok.... I don't understand and when I check my arma mods tells me that ACE3 is up to date yet I can launch none of my scenarios
Repair the ACE mod using the Launcher, and make sure you're not loading any mods that include an older copy of ACE.
Answered already on ACE discord 👍
I am pretty suer that those lines are where the debris is going to break if it was to blow up, like HorribleGoat said. You don't need a tank by the way, you can use a few C2s too.
Still doesn't fix my issue and I don't think you get it, these are added by the mod and used to not show up if the mod was removed. For some reason, it does show up now.
Can anyone help me, if anyone knows a fix? Otherwise, i'll escelate it to a bug report because seems like a bug and if nobody knows a fix, probably is.
to start antistasi The Mod you need to start it to host a server (local host via LAN also works), it should show the mission there after you pick which map you want to play.
can you provide the screenshot of this 'rare' bug you mention?
say just in case do you have Cloud drive enabled such as ONEDrive etc? try disabling it for Arma 3 save folder (check pinned)
...can you read the whole message first? there is no screenshots required, it is all clear?
negative, i littereally got onedrive deleted and I have no other desktop drives
it was causing issues before on Arma3 and more, so I deleted it
i hate it anyway, its so annoying
also, i know how to create an antistasi save?
check your subscribed content on steam and see if you subscribed to antistasi scenario, since scenario doesnt show up in Launcher mod list.
okay it started working for some reason??

i swear it wasn't yesterday, now it shows up on list? i did not change anything, i littereally loaded the exact same mod preset?
i hate when this happens, there is a saying in my country for this because it is SUPER common, its like a curse, you have the weirdest problem, that most people won't even believe, and you go to prove it, and its fixed
at least i get to play modded now :/
oh yeah when you asked mother to find your stuff and it suddenly appears
yea, fr exactly like that
Anyone else getting this Error after the ACE Update the 28th?
Didn't have any issues last night, other than a bug with signature mismatch that didn't do anything
It seems like an extremely detailed and likely accurate error.
It has the first steps you should take right there
Great job from ACE there, tbh :P
It works if I delete the APL pbo then it works again but seems to be creating further errors, but at least I am able to play the game.
I've reinstalled the mod & repaired it & neither fixed it.
Make sure you restart steam.
I did
when in doubt, restart pc
I've done that as well
Last change to ace_apl was 3 years ago, so the keys might not have been updated properly on the server with the ace 3.19 update
Either that or you have a duplicate ace_apl.pbo someplace
It's the APL licensed assets that ACE uses, needed for a bunch of the models
Hey does anyone know how to fix the ArmaFXP mod overwriting the improved craters mod? The craters stopped working when I installed the ArmaFXP mod. If there is a solution to this instead of just disabling one mod, please let me know.
Its not in server, its just in editor both in SP & MP it seems to be a problem, & I've looked in all my arma directories for a duplicate pbo.
Probably no fix, try Blastcore Murr or one of the others
You could try a clean ace version from the github: https://github.com/acemod/ACE3/releases/tag/v3.19.0
is blastcore like the crater mod?
(install as local mod, load that instead of the steam workshop version)
👍 I'll try that, thank you.
If there's a duplicate PBO for ace_apl then it'll show up in the RPT easily enough.
Yeah the RPT said nothing about a duplicate.
No?
Blastcore is group of VFX mods
This is the Murr Edition https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2257686620
You could also try Photon VFX as a different alternative https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2953412769
