Does it ever happen without mods?
has something to do with your up and down movement controls maybe is my guess check your bind keys
Never happened before with the mods I use. literally first time in 3k hours ive seen it
Mods break. The only way to make sure is to try without them.
maybe you have some same controls set up on some stuff you don't want
Better way to explain
disenage all mods and see if it still happends
Did you try toggling freelock (Altx2)?
yes it must be a toggle thing
Yeah i did, found the mod in question
oh cool
Was Advanced Cheat Menu of all things, the flinching mechanic kinda broke if I have 200% HP 😭
omg
That might be a mod conflict with Antistasi or something.
so is it fixed now ?
What is a Advanced Cheat Menu: i never heard of that
but then when you bin playing as long as i have i guess there's no need for a Advanced Cheat Menu 🙂
yep fixed just finish the first training
nice
My guide to start Arma 3 is #general_chat_arma message if you want it.
THNKS YOU ALL BEEN VERY HELPFULL
You know, you could just have looked in the Steam Workshop for Arma 3 and type in "Advanced Cheat Menu". But I know, you never go there. 😉
I don't even think ACM can do it. An eventhandler just alone to override a damage shouldn't make your body static
yes that is correct i never go to the WorkShop 🙂
i keep getting an error on arma 3 without any mods i dont own apex dlc nor conact but i cant do normal multiplayer it forces me to load something called enoch this is the error A3_data_f_enoch_loadorder
What's the error?
Try:
!steamverify
Steam file verification process:
Right Click on game -> Properties -> Installed Files -> Verify Integrity of game files
Steam Workshop Mod repair process:
Open Launcher -> Right Click on mod -> Repair
The first process will automatically verify Steam Workshop items as well.
error A3_data_f_enoch_loadorder
and something about the oldman thing
and it force loads something enoch
first thing first, verify the game on steam
ok i reinstaled the game and now its fine
can somebody tell me why this is happening whenever i try to load certain maps
everytime i load in its just like some white/blue fog
it seems to only happen on CUP maps
well
some cup maps
cant load into takistan, sahrani, or zargabad
chernarus 2020 works fine
i'l try verifying integrity
looks like a mod incompatibility, try loading the game with only the terrain to confirm
did nothing
okay, ill try
when i turned my settings up:
You still load multiple Mods
Remove them all except the required Mods is your first troubleshoot method
i did
the ligthing is fixed
but i dont know what was causing it in the first place
Your last pic implied you didn't
the last pic was what it would look like if i turnde my setting sup
with all my mods laoded
how do i determine what the issue is
Remove Mods half by half or one by one
i'll try unloading my lighting mods
Put certain mods back in after you got the improvement where things looked normal again. Ideally the mods that depend on one another, or else you might still get mod errors or warnings. Simple trial and error. Just not all at once.
i unloaded all of my lighting mods and it works
i'll try loading them back in one by one
hey anyone able to assist?
youll just have to state the issue
i keep getting signature mismatch with like 7 of the mods for my server.
even though they are up to date.
Steam's workshop update is extremely dysfunctional with A3 for some reason, so the problem can be at either end or both.
Note also that the key in the server's keys folder needs to match the mod on the client.
agree 🙂
how do i check those?
Oh, it's checking that. That's why your client can't connect :P
What you don't know is whether it's the keys on the server that are old or the mods on your client.
yeah
because it's also doing it for RHSUSAF too.
And that hasn't even been updated any time recently?
How are you running this server?
HostHavoc
You can manually check if the file content of the mod bikey file on the server and in your client matches. It is only a text file, but with rather unintelligable characters. Still should be able to match them when viewed in something like notepad.
Well this is ironic
Most rifles are made of steel, yes.
Steel is a form of iron.
Getting an error/crash in the launcher when trying to save or import a mod list.
Hi
I have an issue : for the last 2 months, my team rents a dedicated server - so far no problem but one : it appears the difficulty settings set in the Server Profile file apply randomly.
To be more precise, we deactivated both group indicator and friendly tags, but one player has the first, another one has the second
is that a known issue ?
Is there any known issue relating to objects being misaligned on a dedicated server despite being correctly position in the editor and also appearing correctly in SP / local MP?
what sort of objects?
In this case it's from the RHSTERRACORE addon, it's 3 building parts all lined up in the editor but then only on a dedicated server, 1 of the 3 pieces of this building is offset a few cm.
We had something similar once where I had built a warehouse with some of my modular parts and some players did not see part of the building at all while everyone else did. There was no discrepancy in the modpack or assets or anything- I dont remember how we fixed it, I think it was just making an entirely new mission file.
If you use other buildings do they stay lined up?
Yes, it seems to specifically only be this one corner piece misaligning and only on dedi.
On dedi can you then setposasl to get it in the right place? Or does it just go past it?
I dont have access to this dedi so I'll have to check that specifically later
But thats also where I was wondering if the server caches the mission file or any data about it somehow? If there's something we can safely delete in the server profile or elsewhere
Should be just the mpmissions. But I've definitely done stuff like v1 v2 v3 except the config was still loading v1
Yeah thats why I mentioned the past experience where I had a few rooms built with my modular shoot walls and for like 3-4 players they all were missing the same wall pieces that everyone else could see, no distinct cause or anything. Only fixed it by remaking the mission file
I had a weird thing happen tonight when resuming a coop game as Zeus. I teleported players to a location and then went to teleport he AI soldiers that are on my team. The game kept recreating that team back at the location I teleported them from. I would delte them and they would keep coming back, in multiples I had up to 50 dudes on the map at one time. And then, after a set up my team to move out, it suddenly stopped creating the AI soldiers. What would have caused this?
I’ve got around 3,000 hours in Arma and it’s always run smoothly without any issues. It was also working perfectly fine yesterday, but today when I booted up my PC, the game crashes every time I try to shoot a gun.
tldr: Latest profiling can crash the game with certain scripting command, ACE is no exception of this crash
Whenever I give a command related to drone altitude or behavior, it kicks me out of the game.
Report the server admin.
i did , they said its not going to fixed and said "it's a side effect of a security feature that has proven useful" "its about bohemia and battleeye security"
AFAIR, the server admin should edit remoteExec.txt file in BattlEye folder.
ohh okay , im gonna tell him . thank u schatten
Or at least prevent such drone behavior from being used so people don't get kicked 🥀
there is even a command specifically for that, if i understand correctly https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/enableUAVWaypoints 
#13 is becurse of using Parse text in false context to remote exec. like centret textes
Hey, I have a question regarding the SteamWorkshop ban back then. Is it even realistically possible to get unbanned? I would need to update my old workshop content like mods, missions, etc., as they are now very outdated. Is there a contact/support for this, or only via email? A personal conversation would actually be very nice for me.
Dwarden handles that
Prevents a parseText from being run inside a function that is remoteExecuted. For example:
Kicks you from the server:
cool_function = {
parseText format["<t size='1.25' font='Zeppelin33' color='#ff0000'>%1 lives remaining.</t>", 12];
};
[[], cool_function] remoteExec ["spawn",0];
oh I misread, sorry it says #3 not #13
Also wanna be a little careful the context of which you use that work around. In a private server no biggie but if you intend for the server to be public; that would allow for arbitrary remote code execution on client or server which is probably the worst exploit you can have.
Hi everyone, I have a problem with the servers in Arma 3. When I join a server, it shows that I am somewhere on the map as a spectator and I can’t do anything else. After I join, I get kicked from the server. This happens on both vanilla and modded versions.
same server ?
Could be the server admin keeps check of who tries to join. And if you are not an expected steam account then you get 'processed' as unwanted. So yeah, make sure to test other servers and different scenarios.
wehre i find a list with all this symbols?? (like the medic star) to use it
and how to disable this symbol?
There is this: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_CfgMarkers You might be able to infer from the names of it. But there should be another wiki page with more proper guide information on the bohemia wiki. I just don't have time for it now.
Is there a way to remove this symbol from the display (for example, for hardcore games)? I would like to replace this symbol with another one from the list.
Difficulty settings can remove the 3d world markers when you look at people.
okey.. thats sad. i try to make a new medical system for public zeus
I just purchased ARMA 3 platinum. None of the DLC are showing up on steam as purchased. The DLC shows purchased in game, but I can’t access the DLC to play helicopter or jet mode
What it does mean access, what it does mean mode? What do you expect?
Try showing a screenshot of each thing so we know what you mean.
So I purchased Arma 3 platinum, which is supposed to include the DLC in these screenshots and then some. But in the screenshots and in the game, it’s like I don’t have them included. It wants me to repurchase the DLC. I’ll send screenshots of the game later. But it won’t let me play. Just asks me to click on Steam to purchase them again
What ingame something says so?
Jets and Heli DLC are already integral part of the game. Don't need anything to activate it externally. (except for the singleplayer Contact DLC, it needs to be enabled in the Arma 3 Launcher DLC tab)
If Steam properly downloaded and integrated the DLCs into Arma 3 then they should simply show up as showcases or time trial scenarios you can play without restrictions.
As Sticky Joe and Polpox mentions. Show a screenshot of the main game page, and Singleplayer showcase missions.
Those screenshots of the Arma 3 Steam Store pages is not of any use diagnosing this.
In some cases a restart of Steam app and the Launcher might be required.
We have anyways no clue what exactly thing suggests it's not bought/loaded/makes you think so
Hello, everyone. I am currently experiencing an issue with an Arma 3 dedicated server. The issue is that the parameters are locked, despite logging as admin.
I can click on the parameters tab, and sometimes it even lets me modify them for a few seconds, but then it locks them and they become unclickable.
Does anyone know why this might be?
Are you using a server hosting website with their own custom admin panel? What parameters are you talking about? Are you able to send any screenshots?
Yes, I am, with their own admin panel. The in-game mission parameters in the lobby.
Using Freakhosting, but I used it last year and it worked without issues.
Server.cfg was fine.
Ah okay. I've never really played around with mission parameters so have never ran into what you're describing. Hopefully someone else will give you a better answer but my advice in the meantime would be to checkout these pages if you haven't already:
Also checking your RPT might help too if you haven't already
Server automatically starting the mission.
-autoinit will do this. Mission cycle might do it.
Workaround for the latter if it happens is to use #missions and select the mission manually.
(there is no workaround for -autoinit. You need to remove it)
Does this work with "-autoInit" in the .cfg?
Like, I did it, but it did not work, still.
Restarted the mission from the command, selected a new one from the missions tab, and so on.
-autoinit in the command line.
Ya.
Does its presence affect that?
Like, I can still restart and change the mission with -autoInit in the command line, but the parameters are still locked.
So, I was wondering if the presence of the command line affects the restart and mission changing.
-autoinit immediately starts the scenario. So you don't get to set parameters. Thats why you want it removed from the commandline.
having an issue where some guns are shooting AR-2 darters instead of actual bullets as projectiles? anyone ever run into this and if so have a fix
Whaaa...?
Disable all mods and test.
ive disabled all the mods we recently added since this issue began and its still there
Disable ALL mods.
battleeye startup fails and then arma crashes
because battleye failed to start, check your internet connection
i need Support?
is this a statement or question?
don't ask to ask, just ask away
Guys, does anyone know about the crash of the game, when you try to start the T-72/90 engine from RHS mod in Arma 3, then after a some time sound disappears and game crashes?
I tried play with ACE mod
Disable mods until it doesn´t happen.
See if it happens without ACE.
Maybe, but i think it is problem only in RHS. Because I was aware of this earlier in one game server where not ACE mod, but I have not personally faced with it. Right now, yes.
I'll try without ACE.
This may be the wrong place to ask, but I am trying to set up a dedicated server on my spare PC. How do I find the config file if I launched through the client?
The server config? There´s a launcher parameter to specify its location.
So if it's the first time booting up the server where is the default location? That's what I can't find
arma 3 folder
I booted the serve, I just can't find the server's cfg. Only the normal Arma 3 CFG
You´re starting the server through the launcher? Make the file and set it as the one in the parameters tab in the launcher. It can be anywhere, AFAIK.
I think so.
Okay, next dumb question, how do i convert the notepad to a cfg file...
The wiki made this seem much easier than it is lol
Rename it with .cfg at the end. Make sure it asks you if you really want to change the extension.
ugh.... Not converting for some reason. Just renaming
what do you mean by converting?
It's not saving as a .cfg just a .txt.
Which Arma doesn't see when I try and search for cfg
There might be a dropdown in the bottom right that you need to change
Windows will default to not allowing users to change file extensions unless they enable it in file explorer
Try doing it from File Explorer and not Notepad if you aren't. Do you have Windows so it's set to display file extensions?
Alternatively you might be able to edit it without changing that option if you open the files properties maybe
It was the file name extensions. I'm just dumb
It got hung on Dedicated server host created
WHen I launch on default settings I get to here, but when I ran the config file, it just got stuck on dedicated host created
What else is supposed to happen?
No, it's not even getting that far. Sorry my laptop didn't register the send
It was just being dumb. Now I jsut have to see if I can find the server
Which I can not. :(. Thanks for the help Sticky, but this is now a tomorrow problem lol.
That is what it is supposed to do. Then you start the game, join to your own local server on the LAN tab of the server browser. When connected you use chat to login as admin:
#login youradminpassword
And pick a scenario with
#missions
So how does my buddy join the server? It's not populating on the server list on my other PC?
Well, first make sure you can.
Not everybody's network can host servers over the internet.
See:
!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. Ask your ISP if in doubt, as websites like "whatismyip.com" may 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"
Getting other people to connect to it, or succesfully letting Steam know where it is on the internet is another matter that may even be out of your hands.
Everyone can do VLAN with something like Radmin, AFAIK.
I can host. I've been hosting through the game, I'm just trying to set up my spare PC since my buddies aren't all on the same shift anymore
Nope, It's saying the mods I activated through thr launcher aren't authorized.
It should be basically the same.
But yes, it involves port forwarding in your router, or hoping that it supports UPnP to do that automatically.
And then hop your Internet Service Provider does not use a Carriergrade NAT solution in their network to not need as many unique IPv4 addresses.
You need to do they keys folder thing or disable checking signatures.
Yeah, so to be clear, I've had no issues with hosting, I'm just struggling to set up the dedicated server
The wiki made it seem much easier than it's turning out to be XD
The easy way is verifySignatures = 0, but allows people to connect with the wrong/broken/extra mods.
Well, that is a start. The server doesn't have the keys for the mods you want to use. In most mods there is a keys folder, those files you need to add to the keys folder (make one if it doesn't exist, but since you reuse the game install folder there is one) manually.
(when you stop using those mods they should be removed)
Though some mods do not have keys generated for them by the creators. In that case you might consider turning off signature verification. But then you can get undesirable mods used by other players with strange things happening.
Yeah I got it working now. At least on my end
And I just have to port the save over from the OG hosting PC right?
the networking part to the internet is done in the router, and also allowing internet traffic back to Arma 3 in your firewall.
Not done default via UPnP?
Depends if the router accepts that. It is usually disabled because it can be considered a security vulnerability.
It was working.
UPnP allows other programs to open a back door into your network. Malware would very much like that kind of thing.
I was hosting last night through the game, just setting it up to be dedicated since my buddies are on 3 separate shifts.
UPnP wasn't having any issues.
I was able to join it no issues.
Then it probably worked then. I don't know why it doesn't work now. Perhaps the router still expects your PC to have the IPv4 address in your lan that it had yesterday, but now you have a different IPv4 address assigned.
I found it over LAN. Just can't find it via internet.
try a router powercycle to reset it. Usually makes UPnP work (temporarily) again. The better solution is probably reserving that IPv4 address it has now in your router. DHCP address reservation for a machine address.
Unless your buddies are in the same lan connected, by cable or wifi, then they won't be able to join you in your LAN hosted server. If they are in the outside world, then they need to find you through the internet tab of the server browser. but that only works if the port forwarding/UPnP is working correctly.
Or you create a fake lan with tools like Radmin/Zerotier/Hamachi. I forgot which one is recommended thesedays. The drawback of those is that every participant on the server needs to install that and connect to you.
I'm sorry, but it is time for bed now. Cya tomorrow.
Radmin
@gray forge IIRC UPNP needs to be enabled in the server.cfg if you want to use it with a dedicated server.
DO you remember where it goes?
upnp = 1;?
Does it just replace the ports or is it an additional command
Uh, you either use UPNP or port forwarding. Never both. They fight.
If you know how to use port forwarding then best to use that.
idk where to post thgis since theres a thousand dif channels but like my scroll wheel menu/interaction menu or whatever just randomly stopped working completely i tried to restart my game, rebind keybinds and it still doesnt work its so stupid because i cant do shit in arma without the scroll wheel menu i was just in some random warlords server on a fpv drone when it all started
lol
got it to work
but now my ace broke???
How did you get it to work?
double tapping f10
now ace wont work tho 😭
why does arma need thousands of keybinds i press some random keybind now i cant play the damn game
!purgeban @unique gorge 1d crypto scam spam
*fires them railguns at @unique gorge* Ò_Ó
fixed it just had to replug in my keyboard windows key stopped working lol
Windows corrupted but I have my profile backed up, am I able to just drag and drop it into the new documents path when I reinstall the game?
Yes
I changed up the mission attributes in eden, but I'm not seeing an effect playing the mission
author and debug console access are 2 that I'm aware of
Guys, HELP.
I already did EVERYTHING.
Even moved/reinstalled Steam onto different external SSDs...

can someone help me with that? after 30sec on a server i get a dc and this error pops up
No, that is Reforger. Read this channel's name.
But by the sound of the error message, somehow on the internet something got lost along the way.
does anyone know how to solve a 0xc0e90002 error from ACRE?
Was about to post a long winded report about memory dying out on me with Arma, but I just realized it was running 32 bit instead of 64, So if anyone does run into this problem, double check the parameters in the launcher, not sure if it was a glitch that caused it to switch to 32 or just my own stupidity. But hopefully this'll help someone in the future
Im having a VERY weird issue with arma 3. When we have more than 6 people in our server, the game crashes when you open the map. I have the "ArmaReport" log file and im wondering where I should look in that to find out whats causing it. Im almost certain its a mod, but its practically impossible to recreate on my own.
You could check your RPT file to see if there is anything leading up to it but odds are if it's a crash there isn't gonna be anything super helpful in there. In the same folder as your RPT though there is a memory dump. If you DM that to Dedmen and describe the issue he could probably see what's causing the crash.
!rpt
Arma generates an .rpt log file on every run. This log file contains a lot of information like the loaded mods or any errors that appear, and can be very useful for troubleshooting problems.
To get to your RPT files press Windows+R and enter %localAppData%/Arma 3
Additionally see the Crash Files wiki page for more information.
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 with you the problem you encounter.
Note: RPT logs can hold personal information relevant to your system, the game or others.
<@&105621371547045888> ^^

DM it, don't post it here.
Oh
mb they said post it here
Yeah that's on us, he couldn't toss it in #server_windows
Different person, no context about it
Gotcha, yeah sorry was quick to type intended. I thought you raised that @ because you thought it was spam, I didn't want him to get hit with the stick since we asked him to post it there.
But yes, posting files rights in arma3 erver channels is still messed up for ages.
Have you tried running Steam
what do you mean?
I mean it says "Steam is not running". Is steam running?
👀
Uhhhh
?
That button should not be green if your game is open.
Are you launching it from Steam?
You're sure it's not pirated? Haha.
Oh
Are you on Linux running Proton?
Maybe that's why maybe?
take that screen shoot before playing
yes
I unfortunately don't use Linux (hopefully one day I'll switch) so I don't have any experience there. Have you tried the steps on this Wiki page though?
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Play_on_Linux
Maybe those will help?
I'll see what I can do
If you figure it out let me know the solution after if you don't mind, I'd be curious to know
Might also be a BattleEye thing maybe?
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Play_on_Linux#BattlEye
I'm just looking at the first link you sent, then I'll look at the other one
No worries- it was from the same page, I was just skimming and it stood out 🙂
apparently this problem lies in proton 7 to proton 8 yes (if you use proton 9 or 11 there is no problem if the normal functions appear as they should be)
but in my case proton 9 onwards are not compatible for me
Does anyone remember how to fix these issues on an A3 server? I remember there being a fix a while back.
Ref to nonnetwork object 79202e20d600# 1102689: helipadempty_f.p3d
Spamming the hell out of our server console lmao
I have it too but it's harmless in my case (so I decided it was an Arma™ thing and went on)
Arma 3 launcher arbitrarily crashes when importing/exporting/deleting preset, this blank rectangular white box appears right when I try to delete/import/export a preset before the launcher ultimately crashing. No logs, no warnings, not even a gust of wind.
I've left no stone unturned from verifying game files, restarting my device, to reinstalling the game from scratch
but all efforts were rendered futile
the game itself works perfectly fine, it's just im having problems with setting up presets
hey just wondering if there any way of downloading mods with out one drive complaining out.
Onedrive shouldn't care about the mods you download. At least not for Arma 3. But it is best to disable Onedrive messing with your Documents\Arma folders. See pinned message in here.
And you are probably in the wrong channel since you are subscribed to Reforger channels.
Oh, it's you. I pointed here because the pinned message is only here I think. But technically this is for Arma 3 troubleshooting.
its ok I think I fixed it sorry to bother any of you.
Profiling branch has some fixes. And a command line Parameter you can set to report the remaining ones for us to fix
Can't import one of my missions to the 3den editor. Just keeps saying Error when loading the scenario
Loads up fine in 2D
No logs showing anything besides this: 8:33:27 Wrong color format
how do you tell how many gbs a modpack is
you have a unit that is set to player (not playable)?
Nope, assuming you need to have one?
for converting yes
Ahh, was unaware of that. Cheers @lofty laurel
you check individual mods size and add up
its a bug at the moment: http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=28002
Works perfectly
Great 😃
the chrome FTT tools also have some nice mod/preset weighing functionalities https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ftt-steam-enhanced-for-ar/aaphjonmlflollapfpheedgocafkapdf
Don't crosspost (posting the same thing in multiple channels).
Can you help me with my question
No, but if you think there's a bug, you can report it on the #arma3_feedback_tracker.
Who is best to ask around here about my question
Do you know?
There is nobody to ask. You ask here or in #arma3_questions and wait (you also never stated a question).
I wish you would be more helpful instead of being passive aggressive (which you are being)
Thank you.
They did explain their issue
...But it seems like the AI that spawns in with the Radar and Launcher are bugged [and won't engage targets]
Oh I should add that I also tried this without mods or scripts or anything at all in the public Zeus servers and they still do not fire as I said up in that post there
I put my post in the feedback tracker
Error code 81 comodo was never installed
So what's the answer? That's a bug report.
just a quick highlight in case you folks missed it
Anyone know what battleye scrip restriction #11 is all about?
Thats a safe assumption, shall try find which ones thye were, was just testing rnadom ones as my regular serrver was giving me a full on arma crash
Ahh ok, just a server by server thing on that, cheers
let me know which server it is and ill get them to fix it or if its the AN server i can fix it
did you try removing all mods: then put one mod in at a time: and try the game: or preset as you said: then see when the failure happens
the game works perfectly fine
it's pretty much a launcher-side issue
I can only install addons manually and integrating them into an existing preset or creating a new one
it's not what he asked
if you have a single mod, like ace for example, does the problem happen ?
oh yeah i was not thinking of ACE your right
I've threw everything down the bin and it's still there
💔
as afromentioned it's pretty much a launcher-side issue
did you verify ?
if you reinstalled the game : as you said you did: and verify game files: then it should work perfect
yes i've left all stones unturned
i've went as far as reinstalling the game from scratch
maybe is a profile issue
i know sometimes the profile can get messed up
so one time after i reinstalled i forgot to remove all the profile stuff and it was going to the wrong profile to start the game
and therefor all my controlls and stuff was all messed up
that 1 reason i always save my profile on a jump drive
I don't think the launcher touches the profile.
i was thinking the profile touches everything 🙂
Nah, the launcher doesn't even know which one you're gonna be using until you start Arma.
oh i see ok
so i wounder what is happening to his launcher
it would be good to know when he gets it fixed
maybe it's time for clean reset on mods, you can unsub all of them via steam
then check again on the launcher
Could be some damage to either the images or presets folders in localappdata\Arma 3 Launcher I guess.
i wounded how old his mods are
from the picture he showed way up there i never even saw them mods
I did, Im still experiencing the same issue here
theyre pretty new as a matter of fact, since I mostly play for a relatively small community with custom mods
all of them are custom-made
well most of them
in terms of assets
so did you say theres nothing in the RPT file
hm?
I'm sure no rpt files will be made if the launcher crashes
oh no really
It's separate, yeah. Arma 3 makes RPT files. The launcher does not.
darn
@ancient hawk So let's say you make a modlist yourself, with just CBA in it. Save that and then import it. Does that crash?
post the file here just in case
yes
import/export/preset deletion
you name it
same goes with unsubbing all the mods via the launcher
Shut down the launcher and rename the whole appdata\local\Arma 3 launcher folder to reset its data.
he did a complete reinstall
Reinstall doesn't touch that folder.
so do I just name it to smth else then rename it back to Arma 3 Launcher?
Only the first part.
The reason we're renaming rather than deleting is that it's reversible.
could you elaborate on what you're referring to on the first part?
I'm a bit lost here
If you rename the folder, then the launcher can't find it and will have to create a new one.
So if there's damaged data in there causing the crash then it'll fix the problem.
oh so what youre saying is I change the folder name then run arma?
What the fuck
😭
It's a launcher problem not an Arma problem, isn't it?
I know
what im saying is
I change the folder name so I could run the launcher
via steam
You change the folder name, start the launcher, and then try to import a preset. Because that's what broke before?
yes
Uh, what?
so yes the game will creat a new folder
John's solution of renaming the folder will be best but just out of curiosity, do you have any launcher parameters?
uh give me a sec
maybe a simple restart PC could do the job, just out of the box suggestion
didnt worked
I've had this issue for the past week now
this one?
Yea I'd disable all of that
Shouldn't matter because those are parameters for Arma.
When multithreading was introduced pretty sure those options became more harm than good right?
Although you should clear those anyway. Also check that you don't have anything in launch options on Steam.
Also did you readd those options or were they already there? If you renamed the folder as John was saying I'd think those would've cleared right?
Those are stored elsewhere. Not sure where.
The launcher is completely undocumented :P
is your Steam update's up to date
hmm, no
Looks like they're in parameters.json in that folder.
So maybe you failed the rename? It should have cleared all your mod presets.
it is
ok cool
hmmm
does reshade have to do with any of this?
if so we could probably work on there
It shouldn't but it's a bad sign :P
-# Plus for multiplayer it's almost as bad as cheating depending on the filter 🙃
nvm I completely forgor I've moved it to the bin
it was mostly for scenebuilding
the whole setup didnt even load lmfao
so it was rather mortifying
I've went as far as deleting the launcher folder itself
but to no avail it didnt worked
😭
Did it clear the presets?
yes I've deleted all my presets
Did deleting the folder clear the presets or did you do that yourself :/
I- did that myself
😭
Then we can't tell whether you've deleted the right folder.
shit
Kind of a hail Mary but maybe try this #arma3_launcher message
-# Idk maybe you're not there yet. I should add a disclaimer this should be last resort and lower hanging fruit should be approached first.
I've cleared the bin aswell
man i can't w8 till you get it fixed and we can know what happen 🙂
well the only documented case of this rather bizzare case was from this reddit thread
on the arma subreddit
not much details were given but it's relatively the same issue
I'll try get my homeboy on the line aswell, perhaps he could guide me through
Hmm, you said the launcher crashes but you didn't post the crash log?
there isnt one
😭
it crashes out of the blue
no logs
just a blank white rectangular box
It usually writes them to the desktop.
post that 5kb file here
Oh, so it doesn't crash. It just pops up the white box and hangs there?
yeah
Sucks. Those launcher crash logs occasionally show something useful.
so your saying this still happens even when you try to run the vanilla game
what ?
and guess what
all i did was
click on close game
so basically
whenever u close arma
theres this 2-4 second time-window
where this close game screen on the launcher pops up
I clicked on that
the window popped up
I clicked yes
and it worked
😭
WOW
hmmmm
..what :P
so its fixed ?
hmmmmm
that must be it
probably
it's either I clicked on the close game tab on the launcher or I deleted the arma folder
im so happy for you m8 its Fixed Woohoo
lol
cuz of how much of a conundrum I've caused
well as long as its fixed np
yeah anyhow thx for everyone who embarked on this remarkable endeavour
you folks have a wonderful day/night
❤️
well i always try to help but i fail lots
no worries fam we all make mistakes
thx man 🙂
np ❤️
Hello guys 🙁
Somebody help me pls
When i connect to server i have a problem:
Session lost - Verifying PBO failed
dta/languagecore_f.pbo
I do everything... and
Verify integrity of game files
find that file in your arma install folder
delete it
and then verify files again
im already do this
and nothing happaned... 🙁
@uncut trellisi delete this folder 3 times and im do verify files but nothings changee
restart PC after you did all that 🙂
how do you fix arma 3 ai ragdolling when theres arty/nades nearby
Unload Mod(s) that does it
what mods do it?
project injurt reaction?
advanced wound reaction
how do I disable this? this is lwk annoying like when im using ACE
is there a way to stop arma3 from doing this or is just really that urgent..
This a error message
I use this mod and ace and I don't have it, so you can fix or ignore
Or maybe remove the Mod "tsp_core"
Is there away to get it out of the screen?
Its been reported to TSP so they'll update it eventually.
It should go away on it's own after a few seconds
Does it ?
It doesn't, it stays the entire time
I gave you one possible solution here already
Or wait for a fix
oh okay
Its only Tsp animate and Speshal core
Or i have to do it on workshop content filew?
Urm, what?
Theres only Animate ane Speshal core, I have no idea what mod is tsp core
https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails?id=3283642267
Indeed you have a TSP
TSP = The Speshal Platoon
Guys how do i solve this: DXGI_DERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED
GPU driver issue
How can it be fixed?
by fixing your GPU drivers
So reverting it back?
"The video card has been physically removed from the system, or a driver upgrade for the video card has occurred. The application should destroy and recreate the device. For help debugging the problem, call ID3D10Device::GetDeviceRemovedReason."
restart, revert, check the connectors of your GPU
Fwiw if you arent a mod dev you can disable the errors in the launcher params iirc
Oke, and if that doesnt work
so the issue is your GPU and its drivers
its borking for some reason
you need to fix your GPU and its drivers
Thanks
Didn't that only disable errors in the editor?
Falls under Author section. Not sure if that implies the Eden editor. Still, ignoring errors makes a blissfull happy unencumbered life. As everything is hunky dory by definition.
It should disable them everywhere afaik but it's been years since I've had that unticked so maybe not
I think errors will still always go to RPT but they just won't show in-game
Was it on author?

I mean on paramaters>author?
Did someone have the same Issue? When i click on the "Server" Tab on the new Launcher, my Launcher still Freeze and does nothing. On RC i wasn't have this issue
Don't have it
anyone know if losing campaign progress is normal after downloading mods from workshop? better yet, anyone know how to recover that progress? be a pain to just have to do it again but I wouldn't mind so much since its only a game
Downloading mods shouldn't affect saves.
Did you revert a mission?
Otherwise, did you change Arma 3 profiles or do anything that could affect your profile in C:\Users\YOUR_USER_GOES_HERE\Documents\Arma 3?
no and no, if I recall correctly, there was an error when trying to play with said mod and that made my game pause and return to the menu after i tried playing
That might be able to break something.
Don't really play base-game missions without mods.
ah fair enough
Downloading mods from the workshop shouldn't affect the game in any way. Only when you actually enable them in the launcher and start the game with them. But chances are it will be ok if you did not save your progress while the mods were loaded.
And the only solution to such savegame corruption is to keep regular backups of your Documents folder.
It saves when you exit, which means that you wouldn't be able to load back in without the mod.
Then revert for that mission is the only solution, aside from falling back on a backup before the mods were enabled.
my screen flickers, what do i do? ive tried setting fullscreen and windowed fullscreen and changing some of the graphics params
i have amd gpu
Where is the flickering in this 3 second video? A bit too short really.
Looks fine for Eden Editor to me.
I see diagonal stripes across the screen. But no flickering.
its not that
Could perhaps be a LCD monitor with failing backlight inverter.
Happens only with arma
sometimes it just does that, sometimes not
rarely when in mission, mostly 3den
Anyone here run Arma 2 servers? Not OA.
Check if refresh rate/vertical sync is enabled in the graphics settings of Arma 3.
Or what is different between the other 2 clips versus this last one? Other than you used a phone to view the screen.
i was using amd recorder program an ig it doesnt capture the "flickers", and while im in the object properties menu its much more noticable
did that
Sorry, I don't know what else can cause that.
Hey. Me and my friend have the same mods, I even exported my mods list. I'm locally running it yet for him it says incompatible mods and something about ACE.
We both double checked. We both have the same mods.
Any idea what could be causing it?
Post a screenshot of the error.
Are either of you loading any DLCs?
Currently, he's only getting "connecting failed". Only DLC's we are loading is the mod that enables western sahara.
Bottom right, ACE is red.
We both installed mods within an hour. Both sent same links, I exported mod links. He did a clean install of the mods. Still says there's an incompactibility.
Try repairing ACE.
!steamverify
Steam file verification process:
Right Click on game -> Properties -> Installed Files -> Verify Integrity of game files
Steam Workshop Mod repair process:
Open Launcher -> Right Click on mod -> Repair
The first process will automatically verify Steam Workshop items as well.
He has. Doesn't work.
You too, right?
Try with no mods and see if you can connect. Then just do ACE, and then slowly add mods.
Will try.
That seems to be the ingame serverbrowser. Check what the mods tab in the launcher says about ACE.
Main issues were Western Sahara and Arma 3 Aegis mod.
He now gets this though. He verified his game files.
Repair each and every one of the mods.
we got it
IIRC, it's under Keybinds > View.
hey, if anyone knows how to fix this - my ctab has a weird bug where it shows the wrong easting grid on the mouse hover
why is it everytime i die it respawns me on the position of my death
even tho i have a bse down
and edited the settings to respawn on custom position
its annoying
NVM
its just weird
another question tho
how do you make it so that when ur in the gunner seat the driver, drives for you
like when you press wasd it actually drives
when ur in the gunner
Is the bug happening in every map ?
i dont think so but its only happening to me
did you try to repair the mod ?
how do i set up a server so i can play with my friend
!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. Ask your ISP if in doubt, as websites like "whatismyip.com" may 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"
You start an ingame server from the Multiplayer menu/Serverbrowser/Host a server.
Some routers listen to the requests of the game through UPnP to open up the ports automatically. But many routers ignore it. Then you need to configure port forwarding manually in the router. And find a way to reserve the IPv4 address your computer has now to keep it in the future. Most routers have address reservation somewhere in the menu.
Then you also need to allow Arma 3 to receive internet traffic from Public networks in the Firewall, from Windows or whatever 3rd party firewall you might have.
If that still doesn't work your ISP may be preventing the port forwarding to work by their kind of network setup. Then you may need to resort to other applications that create a private LAN network over the internet. whoever joins the game needs to install that. Names of those apps are like RAdmin, ZeroTier, Hamachi.
hello! i'm trying to play in a server with a friend "domination" i have no problems at all, but when he joins he's stuck in "receiving data" with the red chain and it kicks him out of the lobby
@dusk dove
Is your audio device selected in the audio settings? also try pressing refresh in there
(Default = the windows default, but you can try all available options to see if you can get sound at all)
would love to have input option aswell not just output
let us pick which mic device we want
It is set as "default" and I can't change it (tile is darker than any others)
Here is a screenshot to better show it
What's actually available in your windows sound devices list?
Just my headphones that work anywhere else. Tried connecting speakers, but same story
Hi guys
anyone know from which mod does the **Place rally point **in the side menu is from?
If it helps somehow, here are my PC parts
What if you click the refresh button?
have you manually set your input and output on windows audio system?
set it up then restart the game
You mean here, yes?
Nothing changes
then on arma itself
(ignore my arma names just doing artworks and modding)
Mind pointing where that option is?
right click your sound icon, pick volume mixer
Okay, done it. Should I restart arma now?
Still no sounds
Arma generates an .rpt log file on every run. This log file contains a lot of information like the loaded mods or any errors that appear, and can be very useful for troubleshooting problems.
To get to your RPT files press Windows+R and enter %localAppData%/Arma 3
Additionally see the Crash Files wiki page for more information.
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 with you the problem you encounter.
Note: RPT logs can hold personal information relevant to your system, the game or others.
In dm or here?
anywhere

16:29:02 Error: Create XAudio2 device failed, error 800700c1

Maybe your output device, does not support 44100Hz
-cpuCount 1?
Click on the right arrow, in the middle there
Is that even legal? :P
No
Then the second "group" there says "Format", what is set there? Can you set it to 44100Hz?
Yeah, I can
Here are all options
Just now changed to 44100, earlier I was on 48000
Does it work?
RPT file can be opened with text editor. Still same problem? it saying error 800700c1?
Trying to google the error code just results in a bunch of spam of users asking what to do. But not the actual description of what the code means.
Yeah, still error
Run "Command Prompt" as administrator
And run the commands sfc /scannow and Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and chkdsk /f /r
Something is wrong with some windows audio library
Don't do that "SFCFix.exe" thing that a commentor on the post posted.. That sounds sus
Yeah. For now putting scannow
Aaand, still nothing works
Other games have no issues?
You can try switching in the steam beta branch settings, to profiling branch
That has a newer version of Microsoft's audio library. But it shouldn't make a difference..
Yeah, anything else works fine
AYO
I CAN HEAR
I think this one worked
Thank you all with everything! Now I can sacrifice even more life to this game haha
Maybe only the file for the old version was broken then? Weird
That's what, XAudio 2.7 for stable vs 2.9 for perf branch?
hmm, dependency is 2.8 which is apparently a shim for 2.9
According to messages in channel, 2.7 to 2.9
I have a problem when I refresh my server browser in game, I cant see any servers after the second refresh. Now the only way I can see them again is to restart my game. Tried verifying game files, switching to dev branch and then back, turning off my fire wall and turning off battle eye.
Anyone having crashes on stable when deploying drones? Curious if it's related to GX Drones or something else
Believe it does. I recall I swapped for a reason like 2-3 hours ago
Got the crash report handy if it's needed. Don't remember how much private information it contains
Help me please 🙏🙏🙏
I can't play arma 3 on steam deck it stuck black screen.
Are you launching with proton 11? try 10
I already try all but same
Steam deck lcd
Or it because I just buy it and play for first time
There is a maybe fix on #perf_prof_branch you can switch to it in the steam game properties.
Just throw them at me
Sent in DMs
For the record, it happens sporadically. Every now and then it works, the other times it doesn't, same mod order in the preset
That works
Our QA told me it doesn't work 😭 But good to hear xD
Anyone can fix it??
When game starts? try windowed mode?
Hey, I'm having problems tryna open the Arma 3 launcher, I can get into the game itself just fine through the .exe file but whenever I try the launcher I get this error
Ive tried reinstalling Visual C++, verifying game files, reinstalling the game itself but nothing seems to be working
I'm trying to get into pub zeus servers again after a while and I keep getting kicked from the server with the message: "You were kicked off the game. (BattlEye: Game restart required)" I've tried restarting A3 a couple of times but I keep getting the same message over and over again, anyone know any fixes?
Do you have battleye enabled ?
Get your rpt file and share it please
!rpt

this?
thats for the game but your game works fine, there is a launcher.log as well in a different folder
if it got far enough to create it it might explain why
c/users/<username>/AppData/Local/Arma 3 Launcher/Logs/
Launcher.log and Arma3Launcher_Exception_<timestamp> should be there
No sign of a Launcher Exception file
thats fine, probably didnt get far enough. the log is fine
E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Launcher\SteamLayerWrap.dll
does that file exist?
might have to verify ur game files
I've tried verifying my game files before but that didn't fix it, SteamLayerWrap.dll does exist though
try deleting it and verifying again(steam should download it again). it looks like the file isn't what its supposed to be
On it, thanks
I can't find out how to check it, I've never messed with it before, it's been fine for the past few years of me playing A3
check = on
uncheck = off
some servers need it, not others
Ah still no fix unfortunately, same error code
When game starts
How long have you waited on the black screen?
On PC, it can take a while to load, if there's a number of large mods
It looks like it's just skipping the launcher
I haven't run Arma on linux, but I thought the launcher still ran by default
Ah I just buy it and download and didn't do anything just click play game
I wait about 10 mins nothing happened
I don't got much then
Maybe try a different proton version?
This is sort of the official guide for arma on linux: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Play_on_Linux
And this for getting ACRE or TFAR working, if/when you want to do that: https://9lo.re/project/armaonlinux/
It show this now
c926f648-bab2-4cd7-b948-31f5224e3915
you ran out of ram
seems like
how much ram do you have on your deck?
The error can also mean not that specific file is corrupted, but one of the other files it requires is corrupt.
Finding out which that could be is a bit complex.
Its probably a windows file so the usual sfc /scannow might... Here this #arma3_troubleshooting message
It says that literrally nowhere
ram 0 ?
Does the system have 0 ram? Or is the reporting of ram in the crash reporter just not working right?
anyway dedmenfixquestionmark?
In your Arma folder is a "dxgi.dll", which is not supposed to be there.
Is that part of Proton? I wouldn't think so, proton shouldn't put its things into the game folder?
If deleting that doesn't work.
Go into the steam game properties and set in the command line start parameterrs -window
If that also doesn't work, set in the start parameters -noSound
I would expect that to work, if not send another crash report?
what are your launch params in steam?
-noCB don't use that, altho i think its removed now?
-beservicee is wrong
There is no "-noSound" parameter in the log
2 1 1 -exe Arma3_x64.exe is also wrong. That is an argument to the BattlEye launcher, not to Arma
-filePatching is also wrong, you can't play multiplayer with that
this launch command is all kinds of cursed
Something is still wonky here. There should not be two dxgi, and there should not be one in game folder.
The game is crashing in the graphics driver, which dxgi is related to
Ultimately its not our crash, its DirectX crashing. Which I assume is something in Proton.
Nothing I can do something about. You could maybe try a different proton version
the launch command is still fucked tho no? please try clearing all your launch params on steam and just launching it using the launcher (should launch fine on proton)
i guess we just ignore all the garbage but worth a shot
If can not delete I'll try chmod 000 or flag it that one in game folder
Hope it works
Uh maybe it because fgmod
that would explain the 4090 being detected, and the dxgi.dll file
whateven is fgmod?
frame gen enabler
Frame generation mod
what are your launch params in steam?
its why i asked for steam launch params
any weird wine override or stuff like this doesn't show in the game log
Click on those orange links. Top one has more info about it.
Unsure what's happening, but I cannot seem to run the performance branch. I have it selected and it also says profiling in the launcher (see screenshot), but when the game is launched, it says Main build
Have you swapped around the exes in your arma folder or something?
No, don't think so
Check which exes are there in that folder, and I guess check your startup parameters too for anything odd
This seems alright
hmm seems to match my exe size too. I guess you can try switching to stable and back to profiling, see if that gets you the correct exe
Actually, where does it say main build?
Where it loads the maps/mission
The loading screen with what kind of build you are using on the top right
what about the small splash after you launch from the launcher?
Says performance
hmm that's correct
Think it's just something A3 did recently?
Or something?
I don't know
the profiling/performance branches have had labels on the splash reasonably recently
It should say profiling, right?
Do you want profiling or performance build?
Performance, since I want to squeeze every bit of fps
Though, both of them are the same, right?
According to steam, seem to be the same
not quite
the profiling branch on steam has the performance and profiling builds, performance is just a cutting-edge build with fixes and potentially some performance improvements.
profiling has that plus some tools for monitoring performance issues. You would have to launch that one from the separate profiling .exe
I don't think that Performance has a meaningfully better FPS right now anyway.
I see
Ok toady i've got the same issue again. After i start Arma 3 through Steam, the Launcher stil Freeze. On the Task Manager the Launcher requires arround 140 MB RAM but no CPU at all. This Problem i've noticed after the 1.56 Stable Update. When i watch the Logs for the Launcher i get 2016-02-19 18:35:34,156 [ERROR] 5 SteamLayer: Cannot retrieve steam branch name on the Steam RPT and here is the Log from the arma3launcher.RPT: http://hastebin.com/vugeyenani.tex
I have a Copy of the RC installed (1.56.134.551) Launcher (1.4.134.536) which works fine
does anyone know why I keep geting connecting failed whenb I try to join a server ive been playing on for a year. I keep getting this message
I have already verified, repaired all my mods changed profiles, even reset my PC
If you've truly reset your PC then I'm not sure I have much advice. If you hadn't I'd suspect it was a BattleEye problem and would suggest for you to either reinstall it or use a different DNS by some chance you're unable to resolve properly.
how do you change DNS I am kind of techy but not super techy XD
Google hosts a free DNS- I'll link their documentation which has instructions. I suppose I should say mostly free though- the cost is they'll likely sell whatever domain you are resolving for marketing but "free" nonetheless lol
Change the Forwarding DNS server address in your home router connection settings. Usually point to google or something instead of your ISP. Typical 8.8.8.8
Guys, I am having this issue of deleting mods via the official launcher and not regainig any hard drive space...
What could be causing the issue? It seems that rather than truly deleting the files it is just moving or hiding the mod folders from the !Workshop folder
Restart steam.
Thanks guys, finally my real HD space was updated
I nearly unistalled everything as my storage was completely depleted 😅
ever since the eden patch I've noticed that I've been getting a ton of no message received from my locally hosted dedicated server
maybe it has something to do with a memory error crash I seen earlier
is there a way for me to configure what order the vehicles in a formation go?
Group them one after another
Some player on my servers get error "Error verifying client data. Type=3"
Verifying game files in Steam does not help.
That sounds like a Reforger error. This is for Arma 3. Are you sure this is from Arma 3?
ofc. A3
from player
Sorry, no idea what that error means specifically. Got to wait for Dedmen or Crumble to comment on it.
I wanna say that's an error message for VerifySignatures but I'm not certain
Most likely some timeout?
Mb. But what is Type=3? I couldn't find anything about this.
There are multiple timeouts, that tells me which one it is
#reforger_troubleshooting, not here.
But I don't think you can recruit from the small one.
Oh right. Thank uuu
hello, has anyone had this issue before with rhs scopes?
I guess you are talking about the scope being partially black when you move ?
no
what resolution did you use?
which scope is this, seems modded
the reticle is shifted even when im not moving
Oh you are immobile, okay
Do you use any other mod than rhs ?
i dont, but idk if its because its mp? when i test it out on the editor its fine
Maybe but I doubt it
Did you try to repair the mod ?
No worry, do it and try again
Btw, you are using other mods, there is no vanilla winter maps
does cup terrains possibly effect this?
i thought u were only mentioning the other gun mods
Possibly yes, as you don't have any issue in editor, could be the map in mp
As long as you can not* tell it definitely doesn't, you should to think about ANY Mods do matter
I'd bet disable ALL Mods except the Mod in question can tell
When troubleshooting a mod, keep only the one you troubleshoot on to make sure it's this one who creates the issue
Also, could be a mod incompatibility (but if CUP terrains had issues with RHS there would be a lot of reports)
It could be this specific map
ok i managed to fix it By repairing the mod i completly forgot about that feature
thanks
👍
Did you use any calculator website to change the zoom/field of view settings in your profile?
Ohh, it helps to read until the end before responding. 🤦♂️
anyone know why when i load into arma 3 all servers show 0 players in servers even though i see like 50 servers? IF anyone can help please @ me in this channel
if you on official server tabs, yeah it's usually empty on cold hours, but if you check on Internet tab you'll see most public servers
Has anyone experienced a recent drop in FPS? I've been playing arma again recently and the game's been running fine till I tried to boot it up today. I normally get in the neighborhood of 40-70 fps with the modset I run but today, I was lucky to get 5 fps. I unloaded all my mods, still getting sub-20 fps.
I haven't experienced this level of poor performance since I used to play on my old computer back in 2014
My pc runs other games just fine too, so I know it's an issue with arma itself, I just don't know where I would go about diagnosing the issue.
Unload all Mods is your first step
Did that, no avail
Steam file verification process:
Right Click on game -> Properties -> Installed Files -> Verify Integrity of game files
Steam Workshop Mod repair process:
Open Launcher -> Right Click on mod -> Repair
The first process will automatically verify Steam Workshop items as well.
Running that process now. Looks like it's going to be an overnight thing.
uh, not unless you have extremely slow hardware...
Maybe you have a bitcoin miner running or something? :P
No. It is, in-fact, installed on a disappointingly slow hard drive I still haven't replaced yet.
it's almost at 50% so it's not as bad as I expected but, definitely not going to be playing tonight.
Still shouldn't be that bad because it's linear reading. If you have all the CDLCs installed then it does have to read ~160GB of data though.
^yeah there's the problem I have all but one cdlc's installed.
Got a bit of a random issue haven't seen before if anyone's got some ideas on a fix or possible cause. Got a custom static emplacement that works fine until its placed in a building/ bunker and the AI refuses to shoot it even if enemy AI are right in front of it, seems it wont even track the AI but placed in the open it works as intended. Already checked viewgeo and theres nothing obstructing its view in the static or custom bunker model. Tested it on vanilla props as well, does the same when placed ontop of sandbags too. Vanilla static doesn't have the issue when placed in the same buildings and I only had CBA and my local mod build enabled when testing. From what I can tell there isnt really anything different from the vanilla static config
report the bug to the mod maker
I am the mod maker
then #arma3_ai or #arma3_config or #arma3_model, not sure
I mean kinda is troubleshooting but ill just repost the message then
you can find specialised help there, this channel is mainly for simple problems or things that do not go into any other channel
ugh, the FPS issue I was having last night is persisting...
I am getting 7 FPS in the main menu where two days ago I got an easy 60. Nothing's changed on my end.
I have done the following in an attempt to troubleshoot:
- unloaded all mods in use
- unloaded all cdlc's in use
- verified integrity of game files
- switched to the performance profiling version of the game
None of these steps have solved this mysterious loss in performance.
I have checked my hardware usage and nothing is being stressed maximally (nor has it ever been stressed playing arma. In-fact the readouts I'm seeing are the same as they were the last I checked with nominal performance).
I don't want to have to reinstall arma 3. The only thing I can think of that's different between now, and the last time I played a few days ago, is I purchased and installed subnautica 2. I've since uninstalled that game on a hunch, but still no effect, still getting bottom-end performance.
Any help would be appreciated.
Check if GPU drivers updated recently. Or if other stuff is running in the background.
Alrighty.
Also are you sure any graphics and detail settings got changed? Like render distance.
In the main menu, render distance shouldn't matter
Yeah I've made sure nothing's been changed and, even if it was, I've run my object render at the farthest it can with no major issues before
Sorry, I would suggest to make screenshots of every setting ingame and post them somewhere for someone to check them. To make sure you are not overlooking something or what seems normal to you that isn't really. Usually the culprit is in what one ignores.
Include any parameters set in the Arma 3 launcher. like hidden -mod= parameter.
that's okay, you don't need to apologize, I've been appreciating the help. I just got back to my pc and I've downloaded the driver update. Installing it, and it's pray to the machine gods that it works.
I love you. Updating graphics drivers fixed the problem. Here's a beer. 🍺
Strange. I'm still on an older Nvidia driver, having the newest on hold in Windows updates. But the game works fine for me otherwise.
I think Subnautica might've had something to do with it, because I was playing it on the old driver as well and the game kept notifying me that my drivers were out of date, and were really really pressing me to install the latest drivers. Once I was done playing that and wanted to play arma 3, performance tanked. Not sure what exactly the game devs did, but I'm highly sus of it because a friend of mine also warned that the game currently comes packed with some spyware too.
So there might be an off-chance that something in my computer was forcing my hardware to throttle.
I've also noticed after the install that my browser, operaGX, is also running more smoothly now and wallpaper engine takes less resources to run.
hosting a local server, which i have done before but then this showed up on every single mission, not just vindicta even the stock missions showed no roles for players to choose
LAN works
hello im hitting a wall with port forwarding has anyone else done port forwarding on a spectrum router?
The UK fiber ISP? They're probably CGNAT. Everyone seems to be moving to it.
this usually happens when you are missing a mod that the server has
It doesn't matter, your client still can miss a Mod the server has
and now my publisher is stuck on "update for scenarios is disabled"
seemed to work the second time
if your mission has config.bin erors it will not loads either most times
Even stock it will still do it
No mods loaded whatsoever
Even on vanilla missions
So my arma 3 by default launches in development even though the branch is stable/public and I even tried restoring the backed up arma3_64.exe. Verification of game files failed as well
I was using the dev branch for the diag_exportToSVG (renaming the arma3diag_64.exe to arma3_x64.exe and taking a backup and copy of this as arma3_x64.bak) and I redo these things back again before swapping to the stable branch.
Now, I forgot to redo these steps and went straight to stable branch and now forever has stuck in the dev launch.
Tried verifying, reinstalling and even copying the arma3_x64.exe from a friend to no avail
Never copy from a friend. Always delete the files the dev branch modify/replace. Then let Steam do an install verification.
!steamverify
Steam file verification process:
Right Click on game -> Properties -> Installed Files -> Verify Integrity of game files
Steam Workshop Mod repair process:
Open Launcher -> Right Click on mod -> Repair
The first process will automatically verify Steam Workshop items as well.
i have this bit of a weird problem with the arma 3 launcher, whenever i launch the game, the game loads ALL my downloaded mods despite what i turn on or off
Make sure you don't have any weird parameters set.
oh yes thank you it was indeed that
We don't know how that happens without manual control. Please enlighten us how it got in there if you can.
If Arma units is down, which it is every weekend. It might take 30 seconds.
Otherwise check your (the servers) RPT log for warnings when you select the mission
No i didn't have internet for a while and my steam got screwed so i manually loaded the mods and i forgot about it
Oh ok, pebkac then. 😉
I accidentally deleted the half game, how do I fix it??
verify the game via steam
!steamverify
Steam file verification process:
Right Click on game -> Properties -> Installed Files -> Verify Integrity of game files
Steam Workshop Mod repair process:
Open Launcher -> Right Click on mod -> Repair
The first process will automatically verify Steam Workshop items as well.
what kind of cascading situation that caused the deletion of half of your game?
I was removing MP missions that I no longer used
I think I have deleted a few more folders
Never delete files or folders of things from the workshop. Always unsubscribe and restart Steam and the launcher. It should remove the files.
Hey i need help with an issue my friend had and i have no idea how to even begin to explain it since i never saw it in 10,000+ hours of gametime
he has tried to Reinstall C++ Redistributables and the game to no avail
i have a picture but was wondering how to send it, if allowed.
You should be able to paste images in this channel.
Just not any of the others :P
Should need to accept #rules and maybe !verify in #offtopic_bot_cmds
!steamverify
Steam file verification process:
