[stiff peak]

one squad of ai isnt engaging interacting reacting to the combat, this is lambs mod, i wanna fix this

[muted drift]

I often find myself using mods that end up giving me "No entry bin ".model"" errors on dedicated servers. is there any way to force the mission to run inspite of the error being present? I know that if you try enough times it'll let you skip config errors. It just takes so long to track down the troublesome entity that prevents launch every time.

[uncut trellis]

not possible. broken mods like that should be skipped imo

[muted drift]

awesome suggestion. too bad you can't know whats broken beforehand every time.

[uncut trellis]

true

but mission making is unfortunately bit hit and miss like that with mods

and unfortunately quality varies

[fading pulsar]

If server related you could try class AdvancedOptions { ignoreMissionLoadErrors = true: }; in config

@muted drift

[muted drift]

in which config?

[fading pulsar]

Server config

[muted drift]

still persists

[fading pulsar]

Then yeah... better mod 😉
It does load mission if config errors exist tho

[high salmon]

You can try DCO soldier fsm as an alternative
Covers basically the same as LAMBS, but acts a bit differently

You might be running into knowledge stuff, since enemy knowledge is shared within a squad, but not between squads iirc

[stiff peak]

what ai mods combo is best rn

[high salmon]

Depends on what you want, and how much performance you have to spare

[stiff peak]

i wanna fight asysmetric warfare opponents, and i can afford losing performance, in return for good gameplay

[pine kite]

@stiff peak Better use this one, it is the official No Medical mod from the ACE team. Enable together with ACE itself, not instead. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3053169823

[stiff peak]

ah i see okay thank ui

[wise egret]

ayo

I had no idea

[stiff peak]

is zeus game master best mod for controlling multiple platoons? @pine kite

[high salmon]

Try LAMBS or DCO, with CF_BAI added
Haven't tried CF_BAI much, since it's somewhat performance heavy, basically it's supposed to make AI use raycasting for view checks more completely
AI mods can make the AI harder to control in Zeus, I think LAMBS can affect the AI waypoints, not certain about DCO

[stiff peak]

Hmm thank you ill keep this in mind

[uncut trellis]

honestly Arma is not designed for that scale of combat

[pine kite]

Zeus is a DLC, not a mod. And it is a way for a player to spawn or control things in real time. Potentially for both sides. I don't know if it is the best way. I don't really use Zeus all that much or intensive.

[uncut trellis]

the AI does not have that kind of understanding of strategy or tactics

[stiff peak]

thats fine, i only wanna control like 2 platoons max at a time you know?

[uncut trellis]

ye

but no

[stiff peak]

but zeus game master can make things easier

[uncut trellis]

sure

but the AI wont fight you realistically.

[stiff peak]

thats okay

[uncut trellis]

ok then

aslo further questions can go to #arma3_questions

where I pointed you already earlier

[stiff peak]

in zeus can u like go fps on a unit and play? or just only control

[uncut trellis]

dont branch into multiple channels

[stiff peak]

oh sorry i was facing some issues

[delicate elm]

Anyone else seeing a weird graphics glitch on some wire fences when viewed at certain angles in sunlight. Tested on Altis and Livonia with the same results. Happens most reliably when the fence is near a building and only from certain angles.

I guess it might be an intended sunlight reflecting effect but it looks awful in game

Get the same effect when using CUP's wire fences too

[uncut trellis]

looks like alpha background bleed 🤔

[delicate elm]

Yeah, the effect is seen only on the parts of the fence where the building is behind... like this:

[uncut trellis]

alpha sorting issue then perhaps

[delicate elm]

Just trying to isolate whether it's a me graphics glitch or whether others can see it in game and I need to open a ticket?

I think it only happens when the fence is near a building, have not replicated it on fences a couple of metres away No, I can but you have to be in a much more exact position to get the effect... as opposed to when close to the building when it happens over a wider angle of view. In this shot if I move an inch either way it disappears

[uncut trellis]

I think its a graphics glitch. maybe problem in the model

[delicate elm]

As I say, happens with CUP's A2 industrial fence and ARMA 3's vanilla equivalent (and with other wire fences too)... 🤔

This would be the CUP one on Chernarus 2020

[delicate elm]

Thanks Goat, ticket created: https://feedback.bistudio.com/T189824

[uncut trellis]

probably same A2 model source 😄

could be texture needs to have 1 bit alpha instead of smooth one or the model needs alpha sorting done

typically that kind of white is connected with alpha sorting and that it dont render the depth order correctly

[delicate elm]

👍

[meager pawn]

Very recently started being an issue.

[delicate elm]

I've seen this for some time now. Also I once had an effect like it when it was raining on Chernarus 2020, but not related to buildings behind the rain - was weird and put it down to just a glitch

[pallid ruin]

is there anyone who could help me with this problem i cant download any mods or delete anything been trying to fix this for atleast 2 hours now i just want to play

[steady hawk]

#reforger_troubleshooting

[restive sequoia]

Not recently for me, was always an issue for years.

[meager pawn]

Might be because I switched PCs

[icy ferry]

Hello, I have problem with my server tonight. Everything was going well, but suddenly no one was receiving any information from the server. However Task Force was still working and the TeamSpeak hosted on the machine had no problem. I didn't see any particular errors in the logs. I had to restart the Arma 3 server for things to return to normal. Do you have any idea where this might be coming from ?

[solar oriole]

someone please help me before I lose my mind. no matter what settings I change my P drive refuses to stop mounting based off my C drive.

[high salmon]

Try adding a folder to D: to become the actual P drive

[austere aspen]

can someone help me with the status access violation error? the 0000005 variant?

[umbral narwhal]

That's a generic crash. You'd need to be specific about the circumstances in which it happens, for a start.

[austere aspen]

well it happens when im shooting

[umbral narwhal]

Every time you shoot? Regardless of which weapon?

[austere aspen]

no its not very specific. sometimes its 30min afdter playing and sometimes 10min in. always in a gunfight tho.

but yes regaardless of weapon

[umbral narwhal]

Particular modset, or doesn't matter?

[austere aspen]

alotr of mods. kinda. maybe 20 with antistasi

tried reinstalling directx,verifying files,reinstalling redistributables,windows system repair and updating drivers

[umbral narwhal]

Playing with other people on the same server & same mods?

[austere aspen]

no alone

[austere aspen]

link to mods https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3442359015

[umbral narwhal]

Drop everything except required mods (probably Antistasi, CUP maps, RHS) and see if that helps.

[austere aspen]

i may have fixed the issue by removing jsrs

[keen ember]

So I cannot complete the ''Mysterious Cache'' side mission in East Wind campaign, it's the one where you have to find the crate with AA weapons on this island. Problem is the crate with the AA weapons dont ever spawn for me in the building with thetripwire and landmine, just the other two crates with the .50 cal sniper rifles and the one with suppressors and optics.

[umbral narwhal]

Are you running the stable branch with no mods?

Hey, can anybody help me, i just can't rearm at Topolia in the Arma 3 campaign, what should I do?

[keen ember]

if you mean if im playing the game vanilla, yeah

[molten vapor]

who knows whats causing this

when ever i try use ace arsenal when in eden or zeus but doesnt do it when im in main menu

[pine kite]

He also meant whether it is default install or Profiling/Performance branch. (or developer branch)

[keen ember]

Erm maybe...? I just play this on steam but from the launcher. Do you mean the arrow pointing down next to the play button on launch?

sorry I just dont know what the performance branch is

''play without mods and optional dlc'' it says

[umbral narwhal]

There's a blue guy around who knows East Wind pretty well. Hopefully he'll show up.

[pine kite]

No, There is a beta tab in the properties of Arma 3 in Steam. With that you can choose to run a different version of the game. (many other games can have such different version choices) If you never looked at that then it's ok. Performance/profiling version may not even be relevant to your issue. But it is a pre-release containing fixes for the next game update version, but not fully tested. So it might contain some instabilities. Best is to rule that out.

[late sentinel]

hey guys!
I'm having issues pairing my good old t-flight X hotas with Arma. I know it's working, it works in other sims, shows up in the control panel, but simply wont show up in the controller menu. I am gaming on mac using the AS native on a 2020 m1 air

[keen ember]

Ig I would have to wait for the ''blue guy'' John mentioned to hop in

[pine kite]

I guess. I would have no clue about your issue.

[keen ember]

Who's the blue guy exactly out of curiosity?

[umbral narwhal]

I don't remember.

[keen ember]

:/

[mental river]

What's your Arma version?

[tame drum]

Is this where I would ask about a arma 3 dedicated server issue? (AI on mike force are refusing to engage some or all players seemingly at random, issue for some reason only cropped up yesterday)

[umbral narwhal]

Stable or performance branch? Headless clients or not?

[tame drum]

stable with 3 HCs

interesting note I disconnected the HCs and then relaunched them and so far at least they appear to be engaging again

issue is a bit inconsistent

server fps is pretty stable at 47 so I dont think the ai performance is degrading, and AI appear to be moving properly aswell, issue seems to be them actually seeing the players as threats

[placid thicket]

my arma 3 has from nowhere started to stop when loading a game, even the loading when going from the editor to vehicle editor takes forever now (around 30 sec)
Is it possible to find where the issue is? in some kind of report?

[steady hawk]

Likely you just load up absurd amount of Mods

[placid thicket]

Is there a easy way to see which one except enable/disable one by one?

[steady hawk]

Or half by half

[placid thicket]

it was a crappy script I've made

[pine kite]

I hear that multiple HC can actually choke the networking between HC, server and clients. Make sure you actually need as many and cannot do with just 1 or 2. Also, there is #server_admins , #server_windows , #server_linux and #headless_client for server or headless clients related issues.

[molten vapor]

Latest

[molten vapor]

still havent figured how to fix it

[tiny wasp]

Anyway I came to post If anyone has came across an Issue In Arma3 where the respawn button does not work for the player after so many deaths?

Seen documents online that explained when the server Is under heavy load someone noticed this would happen to players. Its very strange, They will die but the respawn button and all options will be greyed out. It forces them to go back to lobby and re select a role to solve the Issue.

If anyone found a fix I would lreally love to know about It. Thank you.

[austere aspen]

Hi guys. I'm trying to use the Anzio anti material rifle mod in antistasi and it works fine but when it goes in the arsenal I'm not able to click it and it goes invisible. Is there a way to fix this or is that mod just cooked for antistasi?

[late sentinel]

.

[tame drum]

understood I will try reducing the number of HCs, just weird the issue cropped up two days ago ive been using the server with that configuration for almost a year now

[umbral narwhal]

Is this one of those providers that runs the HCs as 32-bit?

[hushed cave]

Anyone know how to change the server bandwidth ? , i think its causing my to lose connection form the server , i have a good ping around 70 to 85 max 90 , but my bandwidth is higher then other players.

[turbid basin]

So recently ive been getting these random white bushes on some maps. I've tried everything I can think of, AA settings, Drivers, unistalling and Reinstalling the lot. Does anyone know why these might be occuring?

[waxen sail]

missing or corrupt texture file? I'd check your RPT for errors on missing textures

[uncut trellis]

could be multiple mods touching same texture messing it up

[turbid basin]

How do I check the RPT?

[waxen sail]

!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.

[steady hawk]

Wild guess suggests you have Winter 2035

[uncut trellis]

oh winter version of the plants! good idea

[turbid basin]

thx

[turbid basin]

what do you mean?

[steady hawk]

A Mod

[turbid basin]

I dont tho

[steady hawk]

Then try to load less Mods to find out some faulty

And RPT too

[bronze river]

you have winter altis map loaded

or not

[turbid basin]

Yeah thats my plan tomorrow. Load the map in isolation then add more mods till it breaks

[mossy ruin]

so im using the FGM-148 javelin and i use quite a few mods (mostly for vehicles) and ace. when i use the white phosphorus nvg in the javelin and hold the "T" button to lock target the screen goes completely white until i let it go. anyone know why?

[steady hawk]

State ALL of Mods and if you use, CDLCs too

[mossy ruin]

Kk

Cdlc?

[steady hawk]

[swift sundial]

Hey so im having this odd MP issue where if I host everything works fine but my friend doesnt see me. We have tried direct connect and friend server browsing. I dont know if I need to setup port forwarding since ive never had to and it works fine for my other friends but its just my one friend that cannot play.

[umbral narwhal]

You need to setup port forwarding unless UPNP works. And it may not work anyway depending on your internet connection.

[swift sundial]

I use UPNP and I dont get anything like errors or warnings

also

is there any bad things that could open up if I setup port forwarding?

[umbral narwhal]

Not really. You forward specific ports. Unless there's something listening on those ports in your PC then nothing happens.

[swift sundial]

alright

sounds good

thks

[junior ether]

Anyone able to help me? I just got a new copy of ARMA after not playing it for 5+ years, but whenever I try to launch it it crashes and I get this error.

I tried deleting my ARMA profile folders in Documents but everytime I launch ARMA it brings those same profiles/cfg back and I get this error and "Error Compiling shader PSSSpecularAlpha"

No mods installed, haven't done anything but launch it as soon as it finished downloading. I've also verified game integrity on Steam

[steady hawk]

Delete dta folder and try verify again

[junior ether]

Unfortunately I still get the error

[steady hawk]

Then maybe delete addons/data_f.pbo and verify again

Ultimately, you can really try to remove these arma3 related exe

[junior ether]

Tried that as well, unfortunately it still continues. Is there a way to permanently to remove the Arma profiles in Documents? They keep reappearing even after deleting and I assume it might be related

[steady hawk]

99% sure unrelated

How do you run Arma 3?

[junior ether]

Windows 11 on Steam

[steady hawk]

And Arma 3 Launcher?

[junior ether]

Yeah

[steady hawk]

Are you sure all startup parameters are disabled?

[junior ether]

Nothing is turned on on parameters

[steady hawk]

What is the Launcher and Game version? IIRC you can check in Launcher's gear icon or somewhere

[steady hawk]

Should be fine

Try Steam and change Beta to Profiling or Development (just to be sure)

[junior ether]

Tried both versions and the same errors come up after the "Initializing addons" when booting up

[steady hawk]

Then I guess you have an unofficial PBO somewhere

[junior ether]

I'll try to do a clean wipe and reinstall it, hopefully that'll fix it

[steady hawk]

Nu

No need

I think you should have 576 files in addons folder

[junior ether]

This is my addons folder

[steady hawk]

Hold on, I'm not on PC rn

[steady hawk]

Do you have any files that has no _f_ in file name?

[junior ether]

A few

[steady hawk]

You have a wrongly made Mod

[steady hawk]

Except 3den PBOs

?

[junior ether]

Only other ones apart from 3den

[steady hawk]

It doesn't matter

[steady hawk]

Guess that's a no

Any Mod can be broken if the Mod is wrongly configured or corrupted

So it doesn't matter. Just unload the faulty Mod

Especially recently installed ones

[junior ether]

Yeah I couldn't find any others without _ f_

[steady hawk]

At this point I know how it can happen but I don't know what is causing

Maybe try to delete addons folder and try your luck in verify

[junior ether]

Tried and it didn't work.
Although I found launching arma3.exe directly works, but if I try to do the same process through the launcher I get those 2 errors

[steady hawk]

...Are you sure Arma 3 Launcher is launching that arma3.exe properly?

Are you sure you have no more than one Arma 3 installs?

[junior ether]

I've checked through all my files in Wiztree, don't see any other installs of ARMA on my pc

Is there an option/command to ensure the launcher uses the default steam arma3.exe?

[opal plaza]

I got the same error on win7 machine wih DEV version but buldozer starts enyway so I was not digging for it yet but I supose the reason is in folders bin in your P drive

[junior ether]

I'll try digging around that and see if anything works, thank you

[opal plaza]

when I had last problems with run buldozer on win7 I replace bin folder files by arma3 folder orginal files and it was help so maybe this time reason is also there ..... I will check it for you today when i get some free time in work 🙂

[steady hawk]

A Mod can make the game broken. So yes

[quaint jewel]

That exit code says you should refer to the error message that was shown to you

[quaint jewel]

You are launching game without mods?

[placid thicket]

the last days I started having some issue with ACE, all my saved "Loadouts" gets wiped and it empty when I restart the game.. never had such problems before, anyone know whats up with that?
I havent changed any settings or got any new mods

[pine kite]

Saved loadouts are stored in your profile profilename.vars.arma3profile file. If that is wiped or otherwise overwritten then something is messing with that file. Or Arma 3 is not able to properly save it. It could be OneDrive messing with your files (renaming it or not properly synchronising it) or you crash/kill the game while it is still running. Or you have changed the profile in game to another, meaning it can't find the loadouts you are expecting.

In the case of OneDrive, either uninstall it entirely if you don't need it for work/school-stuff. Or look at the pinned message in this channel to disable it only for Arma 3 related folders.

If you changed your profile ingame then you might not have the same savegames, or different profilename and avatar face, or different keybinds for it.

The first screenshot makes that obvious. The second seems unrelated at first sight.

ACE has compatibility mods built in for RHS. It could be that the RHS you are using is an older version. Or you have a modpack with an older version of ACE or RHS. Or is this perhaps related to a mod based on RHS.

NO, ACE already has the needed compat addon since some version ago.

Getting older ace compat addond would make it out-of-date.

[opal plaza]

Yep ACE change whole config in so many parts that it is like other game at last, so if any depending addon change somethig what is not updated in other and by the way arma get updates too the effect for mod mix can be unexpected 😦 not nice digging on it.

BTW not all mods have dependency correctly made and you can get class errors just beacouse someone forget to connect dependency mods (or those mods are not actual anymore)

[pine kite]

Yeah, only the popular mods have compat mods made for them be included in ACE. Your obscure faction mod based on RHS from 3 years ago probably doesn't have the needed compatibility mods updated for it in ACE, nor included in the latest release.

[opal plaza]

but always is solution - you canmade your own compat mod (if you know how of course 🙂

[pale wind]

could be that you edited mission and left vertical mode or snapping off

when i open arma

It's telling you exactly what the problem is. arma3launcher.exe.config is corrupted.

It's probably a file that the launcher can recreate on its own, so try renaming it first.

For anyone stuck on

Unrecognized configuration section startup

We realized it's only the launcher that's broken, and no matter what we did we were unable to fix it, so to get the game running anyway we just skipped that step entirely by using this steam launch parameter

%command% -noLauncher

If you want to change game launch settings like the core count and all, you can still do it by passing it as flags iirc (listed here https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Startup_Parameters)

Bluetooth so I guess USB lol

It's my default mic on everything and checked the game settings and still nothing

[uncut trellis]

lot of people have had issues with similar thing.

bluetooth usb

so its probably some sort of hardware incompatibility

[crude copper]

So I have a aux port on my mic should I just run a cable to it

[uncut trellis]

could try Id suppose. Im just guessing its incompatiblity since pretty much everyone with this problem seem to have bluetooth usb dongle setup

beyond that I got no clue

[crude copper]

Bro I just bought the game and haven't even played it and just been fucking with my mic for the last 2 hours

[uncut trellis]

its unfortunate. but seems like there are werid problems with such microphones lately

[high salmon]

It's not USB mic in general, since I use a USB soundcard and have no issues (except for Windows occasionally changing to the HDMI audio out, rather than my soundcard)

[uncut trellis]

not usb in general

but im fairly sure everyone with this kind of issue has had similar mic/headphones

[hearty spindle]

I reinstalled arma 3 and unsubbed to all workshop mods, but when i opened the launcher after the reinstall it still shows whole of the earlier mod list that i had. What to do to delete it?

[hearty spindle]

The reinstall is on a different sdd than the earlier install. Game cache verification did not help.

[high salmon]

Could be retained preset files
Preset files are in `%localappdata%\Arma 3 Launcher\Presets

You may want to back up those files before deleting, if there are any presets you care about
The launcher also remembers the last modlist you used

[pine kite]

Steam saves the mods in a different place than where it installs the game. Look in any Steam folder on your drives. I installed Steam in a custom folder and then the mods ended up in here: C:\Games\ Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\107410 Your path may be on a different drive, but similar end of the path. Normally unsubscribing would remove those mods. But maybe not straight away. A Steam reboot might be needed.

The mod list presets do not matter if the actual mods are no longer there. I am sure you can delete those presets from the Launcher menu.

[hearty spindle]

I deleted the launcher preset folder and then verified game cache and that solved my problem. Thank you for help!

[cloud geyser]

hi guys, a relatively easy question i think.

for whatever reason, i simply cannot change the magnification of variable zoom scopes

i have rebinded multiple times, turned off all mods too

[waxen sail]

What did you re-bind? Because I think the control to change variable zoom is not there - I'm pretty sure it's View > Zoom In or View > Zoom In Temporary which is Numpad + or 2nd Mouse Btn respectively

[cloud geyser]

i will check it out. my friend said that was his key to zoom in, might have bad info

[cloud geyser]

alright, so the keys you mentioned are about zooming in the screen unscoped, i'm talking about variable zoom optics. so for example, i am stuck at 2x magnification on a 2-4x magnification scope, and i'd like to be able to move from 2x magnification to 4x magnification

https://youtu.be/L_r46AAVf3A?si=gDnZCPSf5xjYXjCD

you can see what i mean in the first second of this youtube video. i am using the exact same scope as his for reference

[waxen sail]

Just confirmed that the Zoom In key under View is ALSO the key for switching to a higher magnification on a variable zoom scope, with Zoom Out being the inverse. By default those should be bound to Numpad + and Numpad -. If those two are not working you should first check for any conflicts on other keybinds, try binding it to something else, and beyond that I'm not sure, maybe a deeper issue

[steady hawk]

• Do you have any Mods?
• Did you restarted the Scout mission?

[slim locust]

does anyone know if AMD smart access memory might degrade Arma 3's performance?

because 12fps in a (not very heavy) singleplayer scenario should not be happening with a 5800x3d

[fringe salmon]

i know its been a long time did you find a fix

[bronze river]

try lowering the view range to 1400

and have you tried to turn it off?

[slim locust]

yeah no change

[slim locust]

I've tried changing all manner of graphics

but for some reason I still get weird frame drops that seem to be kind of normal

I'm not thermal throttling either

[cursive reef]

Full reinstall + steam fresh install

I think

Never knew what the problem actually was in the end so 😭

[fringe salmon]

thanks it worked#

[uncut trellis]

what kind of drive is the game installed on? internal? external?

is it a laptop?

might the game be accidentally using integrated gpu instead of the proper gpu?

[rain river]

Sounds dumb but try turning off Nvidia Shadowplay, if you have that on at all..

[keen ember]

No, but I only restart to the last save. Should I try to restart the entire scout mission?

[steady hawk]

Try it because your "missing ammobox" is (likely) already saved into your save already

[keen ember]

ok

[slim locust]

I have an AMD graphics card

[slim locust]

internal SSD, and the 5800x3d doesn't have integrated graphics

[high salmon]

Are you running anything sucking CPU or GPU power at the same time?

[slim locust]

nope

my cpu usage if anything is abnormally low if anything

usually around 15-20%, and that includes other processes

and even the main 2-4 cores that the game runs on barely get used

[high salmon]

How many AI are present in the singleplayer scenario?
And do you only have frame drops in it, or are there also frame drops in a near-empty Zeus scenario

[slim locust]

the frame drops seem to be more or less random, usually there's only a couple of squads. Anywhere urban immediately kills my framerate down to 40-50fps without ai

[bronze river]

so is it a laptop?

[slim locust]

no it's a desktop

my performance issues are also exclusive to arma 3

[bronze river]

go to Windows and search graphic setting, and see if the app using that graphic card or not

[slim locust]

it's using my graphics card

[uncut trellis]

do you play in fullscreen or borderless fullscreen?

do you have any fancy GPU control panel enhancements enabled

[slim locust]

I play borderless because of my multi monitor setup, but I've tried fullscreen and there's no difference

[slim locust]

I've also messed around with that and it hasn't made any difference either

[umbral narwhal]

Have you tried turning off the other monitor?

[slim locust]

yes

I have tried everything I can think of

[finite dew]

Hi, anyone has a solution to "Connecting failed", i cant connect to my dedicated server on arma3, i can see it in the server list but i cant connect to it, i already unlocked ports 2302-2306 in OVH, aswell added them in firewall as tcp/udp inbound, enabled the rules, allowed arma3 trough firewall, any other clues?

[umbral narwhal]

Bit curious. If you can see the server then 2303 should be working.

Connection only requires 2302 UDP to work.

[finite dew]

TCP: 2344-2345, 27015, 27036. UDP: 2302-2306, 2344, 27015, 27031-27036.

i unlocked all those ports, both on server and in ovh firewall

i can see the server but not matter what i have connecting failed

[umbral narwhal]

Dumb test: Change the server base port to 2303 and see if it works.

[finite dew]

on it!

Connecting Failed :<

[umbral narwhal]

Does the OVH firewall have any settings for SPI, flood protection, that sort of thing?

[finite dew]

Yes, i have GAME firewall, where i can add games and ports to unlock AND Edge Network firewall where i can add all sorts of protocols and ports

i have tried disabling the firewall completly, server is visible yet i still cannot connect.

20:18:52 Cannot open C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3 Server\TADST\default\OfficialServersCache\list.json
20:18:52 Canceling the list loading process, the load of the file failed: C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3 Server\TADST\default\OfficialServersCache\list.json
20:18:52 Initializing Steam Manager

i found this in .RPT

[umbral narwhal]

Shouldn't matter. That list should only be used on the client side.

[finite dew]

I tried googling, using chatgpt, i tried everything to my knowledge, reinstalling the whole entire server, removing and re-adding ports, i tried installing arma3 server trough cmd, trough steam gui- i loaded it up using TADST, using FASTER, i tried doing it with working altislife file, as empty server aswell, i downloaded directx from june2010, i downloaded net framework from 2015

Idk, am i missing smth?

[wise jewel]

Unblock ports 2302-2308 not 2302-2306 via GAME firewall.
I understand what the wiki says, however we run OVH and the only way connections will work is with 2307/2308 open as well.

[finite dew]

I'll check that out when I'll get home and let u know, thanks :>

[wise jewel]

On another note, do you run with a failover IP as well?

If you do, you also have to allow the game firewall through that. If not, ignore this message

[dusty cradle]

Hey I have an issue where most of the OPFOR factions only show up as a Russian rifleman in CUP gear. It isn't every OPFOR faction, and only effects some of the mod factions...but this character model isn't one I can even find in any of the factions I have installed. The CUP mod rifleman doesn't have the same gear.

How do I fix this? I can't even figure out what the problem really is and scouring the web hasn't been helpful at all.

[keen ember]

So I restarted the mission and finally made it again to the island, the crate where the AA weapons are supposed to be still isn't there and cant complete the mission. Do I have any other options?

[steady hawk]

Verify your game or forget that side mission

[keen ember]

Already tried that, look do you know any ''blue guy'' here who is familiar with the East Wind campaign?

[steady hawk]

I don't know what you talk about

[keen ember]

@steady hawk

[steady hawk]

Still

[keen ember]

according to a meticulous google search there is this thing that someone tried that apparently worked...

[steady hawk]

You may want to give us some screenshot if you're still trying your luck

[keen ember]

Im going to try to head back to the base and then start another Patrol

ok

[keen ember]

House where the two booby traps are. One is a tripwire, the other a proximity mine.

https://gyazo.com/6bbb9cfd12004028e246bf2f28cac28b 2nd floor of building, on or near that table on the left there is supposed to be a crate with the AA launchers

the other two just have weapon accessories and anti-material rifles

The 2nd photo btw was after I set off the tripwire from a distance. Someone in a steam thread mentioned that it might be possible that detonating the mines could despawn the crate but I doubt it. Especially after lobbing a frag into this room and the two other crates remained unscathed

[steady hawk]

It spawns pretty finely to me 🤔

[keen ember]

apparently its a rare bug

and i just happen to be one of the unlucky few having to deal with it

[pine kite]

For future reference. Don't trust ChatGPT. Even if you are at your wits end trying to fix this. It makes things up if it doesn't know. It is just a syllable/word-predictor. It doesn't actually know stuff. It will happily apologise if you confront it with it's mistakes and do as if nothing happened while preparing to make their future assumptions.

[pine kite]

Blue guys gave the veteran role. It just means they are recognised as having gone beyond the call of duty in supporting/being in service to the community by helping, testing, modding, scenario creation, etc. Apparently John remembers someone with deep knowledge or experience of the Eastwind campaign, but only that he is also a veteran but no name. That is however no guarantee that any blue guy can make a difference to your problem.

[keen ember]

I see.

Also, I set out to RtB to start another patrol and return to the island, it worked! The AA systems spawned!

Ig thats the only way to fix the issue

[dusty cradle]

guys please this issue is killing me

i cant use most of my OPFOR factions and part of INDFOR

[pine kite]

What scenario is this about? Custom created in the Eden Editor? Which mods are those factions from?

[dusty cradle]

Just making my own in editor, I have Eden installed as well. The mod mostly effected is RHS expanded but almost entirely on the OPFOR factions. The issue effects parts of other mods too without the same dependencies, even ones that just depend on Western Sahara compatbility data. I don't have a list, but strangely even outside of the OPFOR factions it effects, even in the BLU and INDFOR sections it still replaces them with the same Russian rifleman in arid camo, that I can't find a single example of in any of the mods I have.

This weird stand in has only CUP and original Arma kit, mostly CUP kit, but the gear they have isn't the same as any of the rifleman in these mods.

[uncut trellis]

Such an issue sound like some mod(s) break the main config

Could be single mod or could be some combination of mods that won't work together

[dusty cradle]

how do i go about troubleshooting this?

[quaint jewel]

Remove mods till the issue disappears

to find which mod causes it, then report it to the mod author

[dusty cradle]

379 mods.....

[pseudo island]

disable last half > check for issues > yes? issue is in last 190 mods, if not its in first 190, then keep splitting it in half
sometimes a bit difficult with dependencies but its pretty fast

[cloud geyser]

I’ll take a look thanks

[pine kite]

Sorry, that mistake is on yourself. Start small.

[hot sapphire]

Hey all, I had to uninstall then reinstall arma on my computer recently, and now it says all my mod files are corrupted. Do i have to unsubscibe and resubscribe to them? Or is there a faster/better way to fix this issue? @ me if you have any thoughts, and thank you

[high salmon]

Verify files might work
If not that, then repairing the mods in the launcher should work (have to start each one individually)

[hot sapphire]

I'll give it a try, thank you!

[light orbit]

friends getting this error has reinstalled arma still gets it any ideas?

he cant even get to the launcher it ctd as soon as he hits play

[worn kiln]

Hey question for all, has arma 3 recently started hiding mods you subscribed to on the launcher?

[pine kite]

If the mod creator didn't obey the rules then they might have been banned, yes.

[worn kiln]

They have not been baned

One dude Ik and he has been busy irl for the past 3 months this happened today

The other it happend with was remove stamina

Also it's weird like mod is still subscribed to

[pine kite]

If you subscribed to things on the workshop, but can't find them in the launcher, then they were probably scenarios or compositions. They don't show in the launcher.

[worn kiln]

Just refuses to appear in launcher till I resubscribe to it

[worn kiln]

No these are mods

Like remove stamina ik for a fact is a mod

[pine kite]

Yes, I guess. Check the mod page on the workshop then. See if you are still subscribed. My bet is on thick fingers and accidentally deleting them from the list. (and unsubscribe in the process)

Otherwise you may have faulty drive.

[finite dew]

Well, i figured it out but still thanks for help, problem was apparently a game firewall itself, i added the ports trough edge network UDP/TCP protocols and it works, no clue why but ports in game firewall make it that u are unable to connect LOL

[quaint jewel]

Verify that that file is there

[light orbit]

That's the thing though he reinstalled and verified twice

[pseudo island]

Could still be missing for lots of reasons. Antivirus could be quarantining it for no reason etc
So verify its actually there

[hot sapphire]

That fixed it. Thank you!

[heady moon]

Hey guys, why did my Arma 3 crash?

I was playing Antistasi, any help is appreciated 🥺

[pine kite]

C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION is a very generic error code which could have many causes external to Arma 3. So hardware/drivers/operating system burping. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_Process_Exit#0xC0000005_-_ACCESS_VIOLATION

[heady moon]

Right, I need to update my nvidia drivers. Thanks!

[gaunt wraith]

What defoq this mean

[steady hawk]

If you mean something with autogen.hpp, broken config

[gaunt wraith]

ErrorMessage: Include file z\ace\addons\main\script_macros.hpp not found.

yur

how fix

[steady hawk]

Maybe fix ACE or don't load broken Mod

[gaunt wraith]

ok now how fix ACE

[steady hawk]

Launcher, right click Ace, Repair

[gaunt wraith]

and yay time to find out which mod is brokey 😎

[umbral narwhal]

Well, it has "vtx" in the prefix.

[gaunt wraith]

yea u see the issue is 0 idea what that means

[steady hawk]

Hm maybe

[gaunt wraith]

i is no tech boi

[umbral narwhal]

That means the broken mod is probably called something relating to "vtx".

[steady hawk]

It may stands for an abbreviation

[umbral narwhal]

The module it adds is called "ace_viv". Maybe some vehicle-in-vehicle stuff.

[gaunt wraith]

thing is it's doing it on my server server so gotta try fixing ace there 😎 fun times

[gaunt wraith]

there is the whole of Two mods diff in this list to one that worked yesterday

[umbral narwhal]

But yeah, z\ace\addons\main\script_macros.hpp is a valid path for ACE so it's either not loaded or loading in the wrong order.

[gaunt wraith]

JBAD and Sehreno

[gaunt wraith]

I hate arma sometimes man

[umbral narwhal]

You probably just typo'd the command line when you added the two extra mods.

@umbral narwhal@steady hawk

Server host had to reinstall Ace from the looks of it

never had that before

must've had a botched update or smth

[umbral narwhal]

happens

[ivory thicket]

Can somebody help me? Playing modded Antistasi Ultimate on development brach with self hosted server. To this time everything was okay, today I started getting 0xC0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION crashes while action is starting in the scenario. Graphic drivers are updated, tried all molloc options and still crashes. One note that I'm having low disc C free space so it could make some problems? (New drive is already ordered). Here are crash logs

Also I have undervolted GPU but as I said, had no prolbems with Arma 3 or any other games until this day

[astral adder]

My arma 3 player profile not showing in game or on documents even after making new one is there anyway to fix it?

[uncut trellis]

its inside your user folder

or in a folder inside your user folder

but also could be onedrive messes it up

[waxen sail]

Have you tried rolling back to stable?

[ivory thicket]

No because fps in Antistasi on stable are killing all my desire to play Arma 3 😆 But I'll try propably...

[ivory thicket]

As I assume, multithreading is still a thing only on development?

[steady hawk]

And Profiling

[ivory thicket]

Do you think that profiling is more stable then dev?

[steady hawk]

More or less, but less than Stable Branch

[ivory thicket]

I'll try it eventually since I think dev is getting daily updates and I assume that an dev update have broke something in my game

Nothing changed on my pc, no changes in modlist etc. Until yesterday was fine And suddenly game started to crash

[steady hawk]

Profiling, especially recent days broke a lot

[pseudo island]

dev is a weekly update(and we sometimes skip), not daily. and we do decide to push dev builds with known crashes since they are dev builds and not intented for production use

[placid thicket]

I have created a mission that I've exported to multiplayer
I can start it and play on LAN, saving and exit, without any problems
But, when I want to play it again and choose "RESUME" (according to the picture) I get a really weird error that I can't pass
I haven't even restarted the game, just saving and exit the mission and then choose to resume...

[pseudo island]

you dont have the same mods loaded as when you made/last played the mission, ACE specifically

and fow_weapons

[placid thicket]

But thats weird cause I havent restarted the game, and certinly not removed any mods, just saved -> out to game menu/MP menu -> want to resume
And I have never used the FOW mod haha

And since it was no problems at all to start (and play) the mission in LAN, it makes it even more weird

[ivory thicket]

Okay, understadable! Do you think that switching to profiling could resolve the issue and still having the multithreading?

[pine kite]

Why do you play on develoment branch? It is pretty bleeding edge and probably hasn't been fully tested for stability. Play stable/main branch instead. Or the profiling branch if other players insist on wanting the performance enhancements for multithreading.

Anyway, that error code can be due to issues on your system too. Not only caused by Arma. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_Process_Exit#0xC0000005_-_ACCESS_VIOLATION

[ivory thicket]

I did not know that multithreding works on profiling branch, I thought it was only on development

[quaint jewel]

We know about a crash on development branch, that's most likely the one you're having.
Profiling got that crash too, but it was reverted after a few hours there.
Dev won't get fixed till next week

[ivory thicket]

Thanks for claryfing! Appriciate that 👍🏻

[pine kite]

Yeah, people learning it from short-sighted gaming-news sites copying it over from each other. Never fully investigating that those were little upgrades to FPS and multithreading was happening all along the years. Just not as efficient. (And the limitation development branch give: can't play with other branches in multiplayer.)

[ivory thicket]

As you said, I learned it from gaming-news sites I'll try the profiling branch, hope that performance would be simmilar to dev but more stable

[steady hawk]

I actually see about 10 better FPS in YAAB, but it still doesn't mean you will have solid 60 FPS 247, still it's an improvement

[pine kite]

Sure. But those news report did make it like it was a totally new thing for Arma 3.

A short peek on Windows Taskmanager would have shown that Arma 3 does stuff on all available cores since years and lower versions ago. Just one core is peaking making it the bottleneck.

[worthy mason]

Hello, does anyone know why my multiplayer server slots havent been showing up on my dedicated server? This is urgent, i'd appreciate any help.

[quaint jewel]

Most likely the server log is printing an error when you load the mission

[quaint jewel]

https://discord.com/channels/105462288051380224/1331375608495607881 Like this?

[red inlet]

The mission was most likely made with addons that arent present on the server

I.e you spawn an RHS unit but RHS isnt loaded on the server - no slots, even if the units arent part of the slots

Had the same issue one too many times when a zeus mixes up a modpack they use to make the mission with the one loaded on the server

[jolly wagon]

Sounds like it im going to check rpt log and see what i get when im home monday.

[reef moth]

Can someone please help me how I can change my Fov

[fringe salmon]

i have been having an awful lot of trouble hosting and having my friends join

i have port forwarded and switched between upnp and not upnp i've switched between the ports (which have been forwarded as stated) and everything else

[pine kite]

Steam Guide for FOV increase in Arma 3. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1731376270 Be warned, your aiming accuracy may suffer. It can mess with the aiming cursor position.

[pine kite]

It could be possible that your internet provider has a kind of network setup that prevents this from working. If they use Carriergrade NAT then you might be out of luck. It is also quite hard to troubleshoot that.

Even if you succesfully implemented port forwarding on your side. But you provided no example of what you did. We will have to assume what you did was the correct thing.

[fringe salmon]

Tried a couple times between UDP/TCP removed the port rangse and went with just 2302 a couple times

Had the FWD to port the whole range

Lots of trying no luck

[pine kite]

Seems good. Now make sure your firewall on your server computer also accepts incomming internet traffic to Arma 3 server.

[fringe salmon]

Now how do i go about doing that

[pine kite]

I don't know what your firewall software is. There are many software companies that make 3rd party firewalls.

[kindred nimbus]

for some reason I can't interact with stuff in vehicles

can get in a turret (machine gun on a tank) and fire it but can't move it around

can't use cameras/sensors etc

[kindred nimbus]

false alarm... my binds were empty... somehow

[fringe salmon]

Windows defender

[umbral narwhal]

Go to firewall settings, advanced, inbound rules. Check there are two in there (UDP, TCP) for arma3_x64.exe or whatever exe you're using.

Because Arma has a lot of exes, you may have like 16 entries in there :P

[swift sundial]

hey so my friend lives in new york and he isnt able to connect to my server. It says connecting then it disconnects him without saying anything. Now forwarding and upnp is on and firewall for him is allowing the game. my other friend that lives in the WA including me is able to connect with no problem. This has happened before and there was not a fix online. Any help appreciated

[umbral narwhal]

Try again with neither of you loading any mods.

[fringe salmon]

I got four of these rules in here and they look like this

[umbral narwhal]

expand the program column.

[fringe salmon]

The two in the middle with the private profiles are arma3_x64.exe

[umbral narwhal]

We don't know which profile you're on.

Firewall rules are different for public vs private. Windows tends to default to public these days.

In Win10 you set that with settings -> network -> properties (per network device).

Win11 is different IIRC, don't have it handy.

[fringe salmon]

It was public and private excluding domain but I just added domain

I've never been on this menu before so I'm flying by wire right now

[umbral narwhal]

Pretty sure you're not gonna be on a domain.

It's probably just CGNAT anyway. See if you can find your WAN IP in the router config.

[fringe salmon]

This is the rest of the crap on the big list if it means anything

[light orbit]

any ideas?

[umbral narwhal]

ACE bug probably. They had an update or two recently.

Also stop shooting petros :P

[light orbit]

thats the problem

its popping this error for ALL ai

even during the server boot

[fringe salmon]

Looks like CGNAT. It's over.

[light orbit]

so reinstal ace real fast should maybe fix it?

[umbral narwhal]

Doubt it, unless you haven't updated in the last day.

[pine kite]

Then you may be able to convince your buddies to install vpn-like private network apps like Hamachi/Zerotier/Radmin to connect your all locally across the internet. You all need that setup to join together.

If that doesn't work then you need to rent a server online for Arma 3.

[light orbit]

Radmin honestly was the easiest to do for any game thay requires lan because it's literally click and play

@fringe salmon

[pine kite]

I wouldn't know which is better. I just heard other people using it to circumvent port forwarding or CGNAT issues. Never used it myself.

[vital chasm]

When I try to save/load any of my loadouts in the virtual arsenal, I just get this error message, can anyone help?

It seems like that is not the full error message

[vital chasm]

That's all it shows in the .rpt file, is there another way I can view the error messages?

[umbral narwhal]

That's better than your pasted text. Means _inventory isn't an array, I would guess.

That's read from the profile, specifically bis_fnc_saveInventory_data. I guess it got corrupted.

You could wipe it with profilenamespace setVariable ["bis_fnc_saveInventory_data", []]; and then it would at least work again.

A non-script fix would be to create a new profile, but that'll reset everything else as well.

[vital chasm]

Yeah, using any different profile allows me to save/load loadouts again, it's just that one profile that's causing this issue.
It might have something to do with me exporting loadouts using OPCOM

[willow jolt]

Hi everyone, a specific issue for KP Liberation games where Arsenal does not show gear. Anyone know how to resolve?

[umbral narwhal]

Any gear?

[swift sundial]

Hey so im making a mission and I want a drone to circle around the FOB the problem is, is that I dont know how to make it circle around this certain area for the whole time. Is there some code I need to paste in? (Eden editor)

nvm seem to got it

[umbral narwhal]

(Loiter waypoint)

[weary plover]

is this where u go when ur new to the game and know nothing?

[steady hawk]

No. Tutorial is

[river fox]

Is there a way to increase fps, without the automatic view distance mod for official vanilla servers?

[waxen sail]

adjust your settings, upgrade your hardware

[tough goblet]

i need help no matter what no mods or mods installed my UAV terminal disappears after 4 secs
DM me if u can help

[steady hawk]

I said ask it, and post details too. There is only "the mission or some Mod might did something wrong" answer for now

[fringe salmon]

this may not be the right channel for it but i'm using an adjustable scope in game that goes between 3-9x and it seems i can only use 3x or 9x

[light orbit]

how do i in any capacity make players NOT appear on the map with a white triangle because ive done every custom setting under the sun and it will not remove them

[umbral narwhal]

White triangle sounds like a mission feature.

[high salmon]

Which scope from which mod?

[fringe salmon]

the m14 one from sog prairie fire

[high salmon]

Some have continuous zoom, some only have specific zoom settings
Don't have prairie fire, so I can't check it

[umbral narwhal]

The only continuous zoom I remember anywhere is the ShortDot in CUP. Feels like it's rare at least.

[high salmon]

Nightstalker has it as well, but I rarely ever use it in intermediate zoom
TOTT optics has a few short dot scopes as well

[oak slate]

Hey just a quick question, making a modded mission in arma3 using TeTeTe3's FA-18 Super Hornet BETA mod, and I'm trying to make it so players can't use the side sensor panel (mostly don't want the radar), is there anyway to disable it or hide it without hiding your whole HUD?

[lime sphinx]

can probably be done by messing with https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/enableInfoPanelComponent a bit

[oak slate]

mmm I somehow disabled every one off the side panels but the sensor (radar) panel which is the main one I wanted gone lmao

[lime sphinx]

(vehicle player) enableInfoPanelComponent ["left", "SensorDisplay", false]; 
(vehicle player) enableInfoPanelComponent ["right", "SensorDisplay", false];``` seems to work for me in editor ![blobdoggoshruggoogly](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/748124048025714758.webp?size=128 "blobdoggoshruggoogly")

[oak slate]

worked it out thank youuuu

oh yeah that's what I ended up doing

[fringe salmon]

Okay, so when I try launching the game with mods it makes a ding noise when I click to see if it's working the game how do I fix it I tried restarting my PC that didn't seem to work I just removed the mods again that didn't work what do I do to fix it?

[misty widget]

isnt there a way to check all game files to see if all game file are there

whats it called umm

shoot i forget

[pseudo island]

"verify integrity of game files" in steam library > Arma 3 > Properties > Installed Files

[misty widget]

yes thats it thx m8

so i would disable all mods and then do that check @fringe salmon

he must of left

maybe he got it fixed

[fringe salmon]

I did that still giving me the same error

[misty widget]

did you do the check

[fringe salmon]

What check?

[misty widget]

read up there a few lines

[fringe salmon]

I did verify still giving me the same problem

[misty widget]

did u disable all mods and do the check

[fringe salmon]

Yes.

[misty widget]

ok hmmmmm

im not sure but you may have to reinstall the game

[fringe salmon]

I tried that too same problem

The game isn't working

[misty widget]

i dont know what this ding sound is i never heared that ding im my life

[fringe salmon]

Ok

[misty widget]

that ding sound is most always a real bad erra in windows i think

[fringe salmon]

I see even if there was a error I didn't see any window pop up saying there's an error

[misty widget]

yes thats strange

[fringe salmon]

Ye

[misty widget]

how much HD space do you have left

[fringe salmon]

200gbs.

[misty widget]

ok,,,,

[fringe salmon]

Ye

[pseudo island]

So no popups at all?
next, press windows key + r, type %localappdata%\Arma 3 and press enter
check if there is any Arma3_x64<date here>.rpt files or mdmp/bidmp files

[fringe salmon]

Ok

And yeah no popup.

[pseudo island]

make sure you check the date, only care about the newest one

[fringe salmon]

K

[misty widget]

or just go here C:\Users\your name\AppData\Local\Arma 3 he he

[fringe salmon]

Kk

[pseudo island]

well are there any files there called that?

[misty widget]

yes you can see all the files there where the RPT file is

[fringe salmon]

Hold on

[misty widget]

sure m8 np

as a matter of fact my RPT file is way small my game works so great and fast other then all the checks it does

love this game

dam i must go Golfing soon and i want to help

yes sir iv checked the RPT file all the time when i was learning Arma since way back in OFP

if OFP even had a RPT file i don't remember

so i wounder did @fringe salmon your game ever work correct befor you downloaded mods, did you ever try the default game or did you go right to mods

[fringe salmon]

Like I said I tried the game with, and without mods and it didn't work.

[misty widget]

i mean when you first installed Arma 3

did it work then

[fringe salmon]

Nope

I'm at the local appdata I don't see the file RPT.

For Arma III

[misty widget]

C:\Users\your name\AppData\Local\Arma 3

[fringe salmon]

I did that .

I see 3 files with rpt at the end

What do I do?

[pseudo island]

send the latest one

[fringe salmon]

Huh?

[misty widget]

open the latest file and read it

[fringe salmon]

Which one...

[misty widget]

yes or copy and past it here

the latest one by time and date

[pseudo island]

the file name has the date/time and windows shows the time too, just copy it(the file) in this channel

[fringe salmon]

Is this it?

[misty widget]

yes i think so

[fringe salmon]

Okay, now what? Lol

[misty widget]

hold on till we read it

[fringe salmon]

Kk

[pseudo island]

Apparently you started a mission yesterday... so the game did work

[fringe salmon]

.. Yes but not through the launcher when I want to use my mods

[pseudo island]

lets start from the start...
when you disable ALL your mods and launch the game the game starts up properly?

[fringe salmon]

I'll do it again... Will not work though..

Still having the same problem

Makes a ding when I click..

After trying to launch

[misty widget]

8 CPU,s ? holy shit

[pseudo island]

How did you install your mods?
you don't seem to have any mods loaded in that RPT but it gives errors for a bunch of mods

[fringe salmon]

My game is finished may as well face facts

[misty widget]

no no its ok m8

[fringe salmon]

I guess..

Bruh.. I think I fixed it

[misty widget]

yeah you seem to have lots of erras for mods but i dont see where the mods are in stalled

how

[fringe salmon]

God damn Anticheat wasn't installed

[misty widget]

how did you fix it

[fringe salmon]

[misty widget]

[fringe salmon]

Do you have steam Scott?

[misty widget]

yes

[fringe salmon]

Add me on steam, RancidDoom23

[restive inlet]

Has the deformer mod been removed / delisted from workshop or am i stupid

[high salmon]

Looks to still be there
Was a bit hard to get to though
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2822758266

[restive inlet]

yea its there but not just by searching its not able to be searched for on my servers steam workshop intergration or without finding it as a dependancy

[high salmon]

Don't know
I also couldn't find it through the creators workshop items, which was strange

Might be he changed it to hidden on the workshop or something

[restive inlet]

ah

[high salmon]

Hmm
Removed then, and when I looked it was in the process of being removed

Best solution is probably TerrainLib, which would have to be run in the mission startup scripts

[somber tartan]

i have a problem when i try to edit player loadout in arma 3 my game crashes and i get this error message

Warning: preNLOD format in object
edaly_items_assets1\ui\edaly_item_water_bottle_empty_01_f.p
aa.

[umbral narwhal]

You have a corrupt mod. Remove or repair it.

[somber tartan]

How do I find out which one it is

[steady hawk]

"edaly" suggests what it could be

[raven kettle]

I'm having a battleye issue where upon joining an antistasi server after about 30 seconds I get the message 'You have been kicked [Battleye: Client not responding] and am booted and I can't find a consistent solution online. I've tried reinstalling both arma and battleye entirely, restarting my steam, pc, router, checking my mods, trying to disable battleye, restarting the server, as well as other other miscellaneous hail marys and nothing has fixed it. Uninstalling battleye from the 3 file directories it's at on my pc, verifying the integrity of files to reinstall it, then restarting the server worked for a little bit but I crashed after about 40 minutes and the error began popping up again.

[brave thunder]

Hey all, i am having an issue with the action menu (scroll menu or whatever you want to call it). Just 3 days ago I was playing fine, me and a mate were doing some testing for a mission i am making. And we had no issues what so ever. The next day we went to do some practice of heli inserts and for what ever reason, i could not get into the heli. I tried the vanilla action menu, and I tried ACE interacting on the heli, going to get in and selecting a seat, the menu just disappears and nothing happens. Oddly enough if my mate gets out of the heli i can get into it... So i tried re logging into the server no changes. Then i reloaded the game. That was fine until it wasn't.

Yes, i have verified my game files and yes we are using mods. Like 35 of them, but as i mentioned earlier it was working the day before the game hasn't updated, none of the mods have updated and i cant figure it out. Also for my mate there was no problems at all.

If anyone has any ideas please throw them my way.

Cheers Daxtor.

[umbral narwhal]

Turn off battleye on the server.

just battleye=0; in the server.cfg

[raven kettle]

I can't turn it off since I'm not the server owner I'm just trusted with some admin stuff on it

[umbral narwhal]

Can all other players play on the server fine?

[raven kettle]

Yes, just me having the issue

[umbral narwhal]

Can you play on any other battleye-enabled servers?

[raven kettle]

Yeah, what's weird is it only does it on the antistasi server

[umbral narwhal]

As against?

[raven kettle]

I can join other servers with different modlists just fine that also have battleye

I run the exact same mods as everyone else and even did a complete fresh reinstall of my antistasi modlist 3 times

[umbral narwhal]

Antistasi does have quite a bit of data spam on launch. Might just be too much for whatever connection you have, and the battleye packets are getting dropped.

[raven kettle]

I've been playing on the server fine for weeks up until just a few days ago

[umbral narwhal]

Ultimate doesn't have Community's hat fix, IIRC, so if your modset has a lot of hats then the init spam is pretty nuts.

[raven kettle]

Why would it only just be giving me this error then? My antistasi list has all the standard mods I have that work for those other servers too.

[umbral narwhal]

Not using a VPN are you?

[raven kettle]

Nope

[raven kettle]

Was testing it some more and oddly enough if I join the server directly from the launcher it works fine but if i load up the game then join from the in-game server browser the issue persists

[humble comet]

I been experiencing this weird fps drop for no reason using pref branch / stable
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YzGzJmN_-Q

[keen ember]

I'm playing the ''Defend Houdan'' mission in the Cold War Rearmed III mod, my gunner in my M60 tank just wont fire at enemy tanks. He'll occasionally shoot at infantry with his coaxal machine gun but when I target a tank, all he'll do is just stare at it with the main gun and not fire even when I have em on engage or order fire (left ctrl + left mouse)

What do?

[uncut trellis]

theres key that makes him fire

they dont fire the main gun without your input

when you are the commander

[keen ember]

Are you referring to holding ctrl and clicking fire? Cuz ive tried that

[balmy kraken]

how do you stop the repetitive steam ticket check failed and being kicked off with no other message

[balmy kraken]

got 0xC0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION

[cunning willow]

Any ideas for why someone might not be able to join a server? blank server lobby for the client

if the server doesn't have battleeye, do the clients still need to agree to battle eye thing?

[uncut trellis]

users can start game wihout battleye but generally yes the user agreement still got to be accepted

theres is no downside in accepting it

[steady hawk]

If the issue is empty lobby it is, verify you have all required Mods. Mod mismatch sometimes silently wipes the lobby

[uncut trellis]

also if its localhosted

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”

[silent juniper]

My eden editor camera keeps getting stuck when I load into my scenario with a civilian spawn module

[heady moon]

Hey guys, I'm using CUP mods in Antistasi but when I go into Zeus I cannot see any of the CUP factions - is there a fix?

[high salmon]

Probably the Zeus module is not set to include all addons, both official and unofficial

[heady moon]

How do i set it to include all official and unofficial addons?

[high salmon]

If you have the mission in a format that you can open in Eden, then just find the zeus module and change it to use all
I can't find all of the stuff for adding more items during runtime, this is part of it: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Curator#Unlocking_Addons
The ZEN mod might have a way to unlock addons, don't remember

[balmy kraken]

got the weirdest stuff happening to me, every time i load into my unit server it puts me in a permenant sitting animation and then if i knock myself uncon it makes me spam prone to stand and then makes me swap my weapon and sometimes just randomly makes me float

[umbral narwhal]

mods

[balmy kraken]

i tried an animation mod a few days ago, not currently loaded though

[high salmon]

Clear the animation cache maybe?
Method is delete the contents of %localappdata%/Arma 3/AnimDataCache
Don't know if it would work though, doesn't hurt anything though

[balmy kraken]

i figured it was something to do with the anims_f.pbo or something like that

just deleted and verified

[winter moon]

I have a problem with a file I have on my server where it puts AI units into the sky shortly after they spawn in and they just float there see pic above for what I mean

or below I guess

[umbral narwhal]

Is this your mission?

[winter moon]

yeah

im guessing its something to do with either tha map or the file as I have tested another mission I have on my server that is on altis and it doesnt do it but it just started happening within the week

[naive depot]

My laptop is plugged into a somewhat flighty outlet, likes to come unplugged if anything touches it. Unfortunately this resulted in my laptop dying before I could plug it back in while Arma 3 was open. I've now lost all profile data across all profiles on my system and am hoping and praying someone knows a fix

[umbral narwhal]

Hmm. It shouldn't corrupt or lose any profiles other than the one it was accessing.

[naive depot]

is there a way to at least restore the one I was using?

[umbral narwhal]

Well no, not if it's corrupted.

Arma doesn't make profile backups.

[naive depot]

I still have access to all missions I've made, it just treats my profile as if it's new

is that a symptom of corruption?

[umbral narwhal]

Yes, that's normal.

[naive depot]

[umbral narwhal]

As far as I can tell, if Arma detects profile corruption on launch it just wipes the thing.

No notification anywhere, just immediate data loss.

[naive depot]

I really shouldn't be surprised but somehow I am

Well I guess that's years of stuff gone :/

[winter moon]

any ideas on what might be causing it?

[keen ember]

bump?

[sage violet]

I am stuck. I am using the orbat faction creator feature from the alive mod to create some custom factions using RHS units. I followed the instructions for the faction creator, and it works great for making one faction. Problem is, if I make a second faction using the same method it will only load one of the two upon game start, depening on load order. I cannot for the life of me figure out what I need to do to run both custom factions at the same time. I tried putting both addons into one mod and that does not work, I signed them both and that doesn't work either. Help!

[pine kite]

Take that as a cue to make daily backups.

[gray fiber]

hey so im running a liberation arma 3 server and i wanna add the reaction forces DLC to it.
i followed all the steps provided by the server provider in order to get it going, wich was sucessfull.
the problem now is that when trying to have my friends (non DLC Owners) join, they get a crossed out play button.
they all downloaded the Data compability pack provided by the creator of the DLC, wich states that non DLC owners should use it to be able to join servers utilizing the DLC.
i tried trouble shooting it in various ways, with none being sucessful.
im hoping someone here may be able to tell me what the issue may be

[steady hawk]

Sounds like second report about this @drifting stirrup

[pine kite]

If they load the required mods, with that CDLC compatibility mod, then they should still be able to direct connect to your server. The launcher Join button seems to expect that if you host it with the CDLC that it will play on the terrain or something. And need it.

[gray fiber]

so just direct connect?

[pine kite]

Worth a try.

[gray fiber]

might aswell

[gray fiber]

so im not the only one facing this? lol

[drifting stirrup]

i really can't say anything about it. we didn't do anything fancy, just reuploaded cdlc data to the workshop.

[pine kite]

Reaction forces does not come with a terrain. So there is no reason why they couldn't join a server if they have the compatibility mod.

[steady hawk]

Which Arma 3 version you play?

[gray fiber]

well like i said man i tried a dozen things to trouble shoot it but it just wont budge

[drifting stirrup]

and those users have the compatibility data?

[pine kite]

I've seen this issue with other people trying to join Antistasi Community servers that play on vanila or modded terrains but use the CDLCs for gear/factions. And people try to join with compatibility mods for non-buyers. They are stopped with the crossed out join button. So I think this is more of an Arma 3 or Launcher general-quirk.

[gray fiber]

yes, i even had them redownload it twice, ran the server without other mods and nothing but the reaction force content on a vanilla map. nothing worked

[drifting stirrup]

i dont even know how we should test for this.

[gray fiber]

well like valen just said, you guys might not be able to do anything abt it if this is the case for other CDLC stuff too

[drifting stirrup]

join button in the launcher is crossed out? what about the ingame server browser?

[gray fiber]

havent actually tested that

[drifting stirrup]

i never used the launcher for joining a server, so have even less experience with that

[gray fiber]

neither did i tbh lol

[steady hawk]

What about this

[gray fiber]

i did just reset the server back to its former state so i can get back to you on that tomorow after reconfiguring it and trying to have them join that way

where can i check that? sorry i missed your message there

server says it runs on 2.18

[steady hawk]

Launcher, top right gear. Or simply, Stable/Profiling/Development

[pine kite]

People see this:

[gray fiber]

Game version: 2.18.152405

[gray fiber]

exactly that

[steady hawk]

Hm so Stable?

[gray fiber]

ye

[steady hawk]

And people suddenly (few days) got this issue?

Which Server version?

[gray fiber]

not few days, today for me and server version is the stable build too

[steady hawk]

🤔

Everyone just started to have this issue just today?

[gray fiber]

idk, when did people start reporting abt it is when it began

havent really read if there is any more people having the issue

im honestly just sitting here losing my mind at this point

[steady hawk]

So do we

Do you use any third party hosting service?

[gray fiber]

we use HAVOC if thats what you mean

[steady hawk]

Let's say, something very ultimate option

Can you host a server (dedi or local) yourself and can people join?

[gray fiber]

i would have to try that, getting a dedi set up gets a bit complicated for me sometimes but i can try

[steady hawk]

At this point, my theory is something on HAVOC (Host Havoc you mean?) is doing wrong

Otherwise... you use any Mods?

[gray fiber]

a couple

[steady hawk]

Name them?

[gray fiber]

but like i said i even tried running it with the mods off, vanilla game mode and map only with nothing else other than the Data Compability mod

[gray fiber]

the big ones would be ACE3, RHS, CUP Weapons, SMA, like 3 DCS type module air vehicles and the rest is small quality of life improvements

[steady hawk]

Get rid all of them and test. Of course with RF

[gray fiber]

yeah i did that before

[gray fiber]

like i stated here

sorry if im being unclear

[steady hawk]

Well, in this case unload everyone's Mod

Not just server's

[gray fiber]

you mean the people not able to join (my friends) should unload the mods on their side too?

because that was done too. kinda thought its a no brainer so i told them to do it

[pseudo island]

so server is using the creatordlc branch and has only rf in the mods startup parameter?
client only has RF compat mod loaded?

[gray fiber]

yes

[steady hawk]

I am making a theory where ANY Mod made a bad change

I have no clue if a Mod can do anything with licensing though

[gray fiber]

yeah i was abt to say i dont think thats possible. but you would know better than me

but yeah man. ive given up for today, im too tired to keep trying rn

ill try again tomorow and if i find anything out i will let you guys know incase it may help in any way

[winter moon]

figured out the problem. Make sure you have the HC and server command lines are correct and match the mod folders. Dagger Island had the folder change form beta at the end to not having it and server still had the beta file and was using that in its command line the HC cause i did a full mod list reinstall didnt have the beta. Using the same command line for both meant the HC didnt have the map and was causing the AI to float after they got off loaded

Hi everyone !
I have an issu with the connection to dedicated arma serv, I can join other server but not our serv, and there is no error message, any idea ?!!!

[narrow parcel]

Does anybody know how to fix the issue of not being able to connect to A3 servers?

[waxen sail]

Not without more specifics, could be anything

[narrow parcel]

My pc isnt the best but i have all my graphics on low

[cold thicket]

In my case, I get no response when I ping the hosting server, but I can connect to team speak on this same machine and other a3 serv hosted elsewhere ,
I don't have any firewall blocking or anything

There's no logic...

[waxen sail]

graphics settings probably won't affect connection

Ping/traceroute the servers you're trying to join, can you reach them?

any errors on join in your RPT?

[narrow parcel]

it only says it cant connect

i dont have any dlcs installed

could that be an issue?

[waxen sail]

I doubt it, do the servers you're joining require DLC?

[narrow parcel]

idk

the servers let me join in the launcher

[keen ember]

Okay, so it turns out I have to select an ammo type first (ctrl+F)

I really wish the base game wouldve told me this 🙄

[gray fiber]

@drifting stirrup @steady hawk @pseudo island so after ive tried a couple more things and reseached it heavily it seems like its some type of design issue with the launcher as everything ive read about it states that the only way to make it work with a Compability Data pack is by joining via the ingame server browser.
same issue seems to apply to all Comp Data packs according to the stuff i found via google and it did indeed work for us when we used the ingame browser.
just not gonna work for us since that would require any new or removed mods to be downloaded and removed manually by others

[full night]

Expeditionary Force CD works. I did not test others than EF and RF.

[gray fiber]

Well RF is the one not Working for us and apparently many More

[errant stone]

https://streamable.com/calde8 hi how to fix this issue?

the missile goes throughj the building and doesnt explode

[past mist]

Hello, I've a issue with my Arma... Since two days, I didn't have any sound on the game, but it's working for others programs. I did all I saw on the internet, but I'm lost now...

[stiff peak]

Hey I have an artillery mod and when i enable other mods the dispersion goes to like 2500 whilst in vailla its like 300, how to see what changed it

[pine kite]

You might be too close. Move further back and test again. I agree that something should have exploded. But the building was probably within collisions check distance.

[frail apex]

Anyone have any idea why my helmets shadow is flickering like that?

Visual settings for context

[misty spruce]

Hey guys I need help, I need to speak to a Zsu conflict admin some reason I can't join any of the games and the only ones with decent ping I can play on

[copper hedge]

Anyone able to explain why the game loading screen gets frozen on a black screen

Here's how it goes

- Launches game launcher
- Gets to dashboard where you select your mods or servers
- Hits play
- Game launches gets to a black screen and the steam menu shows with its shortcut keys to show over lay, this is where it freezes

Things I've done

• Cleared Cache
• Updated Driver
• Restarted Pc
• Cleared all mods
• Un-installed Game (now reinstalling)

What should I do next??

[steady hawk]

Post any error messages if you got. Also:

!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.

[copper hedge]

No i can not get a recording either to send or screenshot, the wifi inside the barracks in not that great

[steady hawk]

Post one if you have one

[copper hedge]

It doesn't provide a error code, it just freezes and that's it

It's not a crash but it is a failure to launch

[steady hawk]

It doesn't matter. We might need it

[copper hedge]

When it reinstalls and it fails again, I'll be sure to send it. Wont be until tomorrow though, preciate you boss

[thick osprey]

So anyone have any good solutions for no entry .model error?

[steady hawk]

Unload a broken Mod

[thick osprey]

Ok, and how would I find said mod?

[pseudo island]

Check the RPT file and look for any mods throwing errors

[weak aurora]

thank you

Also I realize I posted in the wrong channel. Will rectify.

[gaunt spire]

is anyone willing to help. i am trying to learn how to set up a server for my friends and i to play on and create a mission that we can chill and play around in nothing to scieruse. but iv watched every youtube vidieo i could find and nothing is working for me. i must be missing something or doing something wrong. please help. we can even talk on discord i just need help please. i want to undersand this.

[quartz berry]

Are you local hosting, do you own a physical personal server, or a service? Try watching and reading stuff related to that and specify your set-up and specific problem so people can help you.

[gaunt spire]

i am hosting through a dedicated server. i have read and watched every video i could find. its not creating the missing I'm having problems with its the mission not loading. when i go to the server it says mission loading error.

[quartz berry]

Is it yours or a service?

[dusky parcel]

Running into an issue where players in multiplayer will often get stuck in a swimming animation of they land in water with a parachute

[silver moat]

Is it just me, or have Countermeasures completely stopped working on the latest profiling build?

I even tried making a missile's CMimmunity 0.1 and it ignored my flares

[umbral narwhal]

specifically the latest profiling build? No other recent ones?

[silver moat]

Yes

[silver moat]

I take that back, not a profiling problem. Likely ACE + profiling I think

[umbral narwhal]

Did you test with stable branch?

[silver moat]

Yes, testing on the stable branch was how I identified that there was an issue. But now I think it's an ACE problem in conjunction with the profiling build. I just tested vanilla profiling without issue.

Confirmed it to be ACE

[silver moat]

And RHS. What the hell. I'm just gonna go and pull my hair out in the corner and try to troubleshoot this thing.

[blazing sluice]

anyone ever set up a headless dedicated server on linux? im not sure the wiki page has been tested in a while

ah, nevermind, looks like my issue was with free disk space

[silver moat]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-A6f7VtEYe4
This was with the profiling branch, ACE and RHS mods loaded, using the ZSU-35 and UH-80.

I don't know what is causing the problem, but for whatever reason it's ONLY with the profiling branch and those two mods loaded. Just ACE or just RHS with the profiling build, or ACE / RHS with the standard build and CM works fine.

[full night]

I switched to the client profile version recently, due to severe FPS drop on Lythium Escape Coop mission on LOSOS' server, everyone did actually so might be AI load on the server side, but anyways, now I am missing fire, smoke and spark particles when vehicles explode.

I see the burnt husk but no active fire or smoke.

AFAIK, this is occuring on CO10 Escape mission builds 1.10 via online servers. I will test further on other servers and report back.

[umbral narwhal]

There have been several reports of particles going missing on recent profiling versions, but no consistent replication.

[pine kite]

Anyway: #headless_client (and I guess #server_linux would have that kind of talk)

[gaunt spire]

Is there anyone on here willing to help. I am renting a server for my buddies and I to chill and play on. Iv uploaded the mods as per the instructions and all YouTube videos Iv found, Iv built a very simple mission in eden as per all the videos Iv found, BUT NOTHING IS WORKING AND I CANT FIND OUT WHY. I must be doing something wrong or missing something. Is anybody willing to help ma learn this.

[uncut trellis]

can you explain but more on what where the problems start?

also have you tried getting it run without mods first?

just to get the basics done and running

[gaunt spire]

So I have made a very simple (and I mean very simple) mission. I only put in a couple vehicles, helicopters, a respawn point, put in a couple guys for my self and my friends and added Zeus and an arsenal.
The server I rented: I uploaded the mod list we are using and as far as I can tell, all the mods have downloaded to the server.
I have uploaded 2 missions that Iv made to the mpnission folder on the server (I did not change anything with the pbo).
When I log in to the server in the game. Mission one, shows no spots to join in/select to join game. And the other mission showes slots to join in but when you do join it kicks you out due to missing mods or something.
Attached are two pictures if it lets me send them.
