I installed dev/ RC branch with the Arma 3 Tools beside my main installation. When trying to open Tanoa with these installations I get a "Please switch off the game, wait until Steam downloads the DLC and start the game again" message. Anyone knows how to get the dev/RC branch running with Arma 3 Tools? (yes I own the expansion)

i have bound 'zero up / zero down' to many different single use keys, but it doesn't work (on scopes where it should)

Weirdly, it worked for 2 seconds in a game, the zeroing distance changed. But 2 minutes later pressing the zeroing key did nothing

warm sinew
Anyone know what would cause vanilla Arma3 to start at 140 fps (with world empty on the main menu), gradually slow to 1-2fps, and then crash the graphics driver? Nvidia 770, win10 64. Similar to https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/190289-d3d-error-dxgi-error-device-removed-since-158-update/ but older drivers don't fix it, and it started randomly this week
desert isle
Start simple, heat? When's the last time the old PCs had a thorough clean?
inland kayak
@warm sinew had that with the newest drivers, i'm running a 960
avoid alt tabbing when the game load, shouldn't crash.
half plume
nvm, problem solved.
warm sinew
I checked heat, CPU/GPU/Disk usage.. all nothing before the game starts
GPU starts at 100% usage when the main menu comes up.. then decreases over 3-5 mins as the framerate drops. The others are pretty much idle. Tried not alt tabbing and windowed/fullscreen modes. Heat never got above around 45c on CPU or GPU (according to afterburner).
knotty reef
the only true way to check the temperature of your GPU is by licking the heatpreader

uhm.. i'm having a problem with steam workshop and arma 3 since a few weeks
steam is trying to download an update for a steam workshop item(no idea which..i got 92 subbed)
it's always at 0b size..and it's always retrying
can't even download another game right now, cuz it's trying to update
desert isle
How long have you let it attempt to download?
desert isle
I had a similar episode but it resolved on its own.
I left it on overnight and it fixed itself
desert isle
Though I have once had to take note of my subscriptions, unsubscribe them, then add them back. Would be annoying to have to do that for 92 though.
waxen coyote
indeed..
well
i once published a workshop item and deleted it again..but idk if that's related
i had done that, for the achievement haha
desert isle
Have you been getting A3 updates (not workshop)?
desert isle
That's odd. Other than unsubscribe and re-subscribe I don't know what to suggest, sorry.
cobalt ginkgo
@waxen coyote dont mess with !Workshop folder in Arma3 game folder
in case you did
cobalt ginkgo
I had a similar problem when I was switching branches
it fixed itself but lasted a while
waxen coyote
there's no !Workshop anyway
cobalt ginkgo
Uh? Not using A3 launcher?
cobalt ginkgo
dont know I have it
and I think launcher moves those to Arma3
one sec screen incoming
and then I got mod there... to which I subbed
waxen coyote
tbh i have no idea
i dont have that folder
i actually wonder where my workshop items are saved lol
cobalt ginkgo
hmm not sure about that anyone else not having !workshop folder there?
by default its in common\workshop
waxen coyote
E:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content ?
cobalt ginkgo
yeah
\steamapps\workshop\content\107410
for arma3
word of precaution... dont touch those
cobalt ginkgo
well one thing you can do is to delete all those
but make steam not running while doing it
and Arma3 Launcher...
then check to see how much GB is takes..
it will cost you time to DL everyhting again
once you delete files start steam again... it should start downloading mods again
or first check in publisher that mod of yours and see if that solves it
fringe salmon
@waxen coyote Try to unsubscribe, restart Steam (like really exit it), re-subscribe the mod and then verify integrity of the game cache. If that doesn't help, try to change a download region in Steam settings and repeat the procedure.
cobalt ginkgo
@waxen coyote wrong name to tag but... have you said you have a mod on workshop of your own or not? If not forget the Publisher thing I said.
cobalt ginkgo
and listen @fringe salmon hes a DEV
waxen coyote
well..
fringe salmon
@waxen coyote Then just try to verify the integrity of the game cache. It also checks the mods.
waxen coyote
i'll try that
waxen coyote
@fringe salmon verifying integrity didn't help it :/
since it's 9:38am here..i think i'm actually gonna go to bed
may you leave me possible solutions in a PM, or here, if possible?
thanks, cya โค
cobalt ginkgo
@waxen coyote make sure launcher is not running or if it is running Steam ill never finish verification or download. Just had this problem. Also changing download region seem to helped. Just change it to somewhere closer to your location ( if possible )

@cobalt ginkgo @fringe salmon the issue with the workshop item still remains..
cobalt ginkgo
@waxen coyote go to steamcommunity.com/id/<YOURIDHERE>/myworkshopfiles/?browsesort=mysubscriptions&browsefilter=mysubscriptions&p=1 and unsubscribe them all... I dont know any other way of fixing it. Or you can try Steam support.
You can find all mods you subscibed to by opening Steam client, going to your profile, click on My workshop items, and them click on Subscribed items... same as link above just explaining in case you cant figure out how to get link working
cobalt ginkgo
perhaps next time make a collection out of it
cobalt ginkgo
But... I am not a dev neither the tech support for BI nor Steam, you can wait for Wizzard...
fringe salmon
@waxen coyote You might want to take a look at Steam logs (by default C:\program files (x86)\steam\logs), workshop or content log files might contain something useful.
The last option I know of is to "nuke" Steam configuration: press Windows + R, type "steam://flushconfig" and hit the Enter. But that will (most likely) cause re-download of all workshop content and it might be only a temporary solution.

You are the second one here who runs into localization problem with BR mod

it is a localization problem caused by incorrect stringtables in mod. Either uninstall mod or wait authors to fix this
But switching to English usually helps in such cases

no, in Arma 3 properties in steam, select English as the language for Arma

anyone know why I wouldn't be able to see a server, in the server browser, that my son is playing on from the same internet connection. It's like only one of us can play on the server at the same time. I've never had this happen before with ArmA 3.
dry flame
Maybe there is something serverside where it is not broadcasting the dedicated server properly? Because it never shows up on a server list or recent tab. We always have to use direct connect.
desert isle
Try a lan connection maybe? My thought is that your external IP address will be the same otherwise (that of your router). Where as if it were a LAN match you would connect to his internal IP address. Just thinking out loud here.
dry flame
Thank you for the response. This is a dedicated server, at a server host. only one of us can see the server at a time. It is really strange.
strange drift
what happens if both of connect via ip?
dry flame
@strange drift I'm not sure what you mean. If he is connected to the server, It will not show up in my server list. Even if I try to use direct connect, it won't list it. Neither of us can find it in the serverlist using a filter for the name or mission name.
dry flame
It is confirmed that only one of us can see/join this server at a time. I'm hoping someone has com across this before.
cobalt ginkgo
@dry flame please report this issue on feedback tracker and explain thoroughly what happens. http://feedback.bistudio.com
Some quirk with server browser happens to me too all the time. If I change filters too often server browser will be empty and nothing will make it work. I have to restart game to see the servers again.

rich yoke
Because the vehicle class is not necessarily the same as the type of the object
I would imagine if you looked at the container and used cursorTarget isKindOf "container" it would return false
hint str ([configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> typeOf cursorTarget, true] call BIS_fnc_returnParents);
That should give you a list of eligible types to use, and excuse me not using discord markdown for code as I'm on mobile

In Launcher I have the red [!] icon "corrupted", all mods are 0 bytes, for Steam uploaded. Other mods in E:\ ..local folder.. (watched folder) have disappeared! I tried to unsubscribe/subscribe the mods on Steam. I obtain updated + corrupted icons. I can only reload my local mods, one by one, from the watched folder.

Try the repair function on the launcher and verifying the integrity of the game cache. It checks the workshop content integrity after you hit the "Ok" dialog once it validates Arma 3
jaunty cedar
not sure if it belongs here, but https://feedback.bistudio.com/T118956 is about a crash when there's no res 0 lod in a p3d. I think arma should either die gracefully with a message in the logs or just log the problem and don't crash. Might be easier said than done
rich yoke
I don't really believe it's just that, I never used res LOD 0 as my first LOD
fringe salmon
repair function doesn't do anything. Integrity cache checked. Usual 1 file to be reacquired (then OK), proble is still here.

Is steam still doing something in the background?
It doesn't tell you it's checking workshop integrity but you can see that steam is still doing something and in the task manager it's accessing the disk

Now the question is: how to transfer several Gbits of mods to HDD E: ??

Did you use the move mod storage button on the launcher?

Hello, does anyone else have an issue on their game servers about a memory crash for clients? Specifically this > "The instruction at 0x009bfd77 referenced memory at 0x0310b425. The memory could not be read.

Is it a plain bone stock Arma server or are you running it for a specific mod? Exile perhaps?

Vanilla Arma, nothing more.

@penyworth. Yes I did

I've seen that with Exile servers, but not in bog standard (vanilla)
brittle kelp
Yeah, I have no idea why its happenning. Tried almost everything I can think of.

@quaint jewel Fixed the problem thanks to Pennyworth, it turned out to be an very old mission i still had in my MPmissions folder that was causing it
quaint jewel
but how? the filepath seemed correct
sacred lily
yes, but an error like that only happens with custom missions, so i got rid of all the missions in there, some havent been updated for over a year, so that was likely causing it

When I go to the mainscreen of Arma my GPU is at 100% load and gets up to 92c. It says I am running at 200 fps on the main screen, can I limit the fps somehow?
drowsy current
@icy geyser use VSync?
austere goblet
vsync just makes sure u aren't using your gpu more than u need it
icy geyser
vsync gives input lagg and should always be disabled unless you get screen tearing
austere goblet
i always use it, because why would i want my gpu to compute 200 frames, produce excess heat and waste energy if i only need 60 frames
icy geyser
that is why games like cs go have a max FPS command
drowsy current
input lag in arma - lol sure
icy geyser
did it with msi afterburner now
fading sequoia
does adaptive vsync cause input lag?
fading sequoia
well I was just interested about that in general really

in other games it can be noticable like in CS - adaptive vsync should deal with that lag

@here The -world=emty parameter is supose to remove background sound in the menu right? so, it works until you switch servers, then the "startup" parameter doesnt work. So my question is this, is there a permanent way to remove the background sound in menu, if not, could it be added.
rich yoke
That tag doesn't work for your group, and if it did you would have notified 600+ people online at the moment. I think the purpose of that parameter is just for when launching the game it doesn't load a world in the background
But once you back out of game that world is technically still loaded

Got a bugfix for yall... If on Mission 5 the boat doesnt come to the beach ... take an AT Launcher and shoot at it.. when you hit the boat.. it will start to drive
though i have to add.. That was only what probably fixed it.. before we swam out to the boat.. then some rounds around it and then drowned under it.. After respawning emptied some MG magazines into our teammates and threw all our grenades to their feet.. then respawn again and try to shoot the boat with AT

So. Does anyone have any clue as to why hosting a server might not work since APEX came out?
(Tested both dedicated and listen)
For the record, I have ports 2302-2305 opened.
I also have DMZ, UPnP and SIP ALG on.
I've tried with all firewalls down.
Could it be related to using a wireless router?
Or is this a widespread APEX issue?

Tried to. Found no results related to it.

Ok, interesting problem here.
Going to try word this the best I can. Our milsim community obviously recently updated to Apex, however everytime we try load Tanoa on our server however it crashes and loads up Altis instead. We've run heaps of diagnostics to see what the issue could be but nothing so far, we get no errors no nothing, just loads up Altis. I've concluded that it cannot be a mod problem as my mates and I can run Tanoa through our system and our own servers and it all works perfectly fine with the same mods but the official milsim server hits the shit. Every other maps works perfectly fine for us, so the mods work on them but Tanoa.. Haven't got a clue.. Would anyone have any idea why this would be happening, not a precise soltution but just in general what would cause something like this?
Also if this isn't in the right subthread just give us a shout and I'll post it over there
ionic sleet
Apparently we have narrow it down to weapon fire rate, that seems to have broken some things but not 100% atm
quaint jewel
did you download the arma server with a steam account that owns apex? @ionic sleet

I wouldn't know I dont handle all the server side stuff

Anyone else having this weird Nintendo 64 textures after 1.62? I've tried to check integrity of game files, as well as backup the whole game and reinstalling. I've also updated my video drivers (AMD), but a friend of mine is having this same issue, he is using Nvidia. Pics related: http://imgur.com/a/Q5laU
rich yoke
@spiral compass Have you tried a different memory allocator? And what's your FPS when that kind of thing happens
There was a bug a couple of updates ago when using malloc=system where performance would slowly degrade and right before your game would crash it would look like that, but it has been fixed
cobalt ginkgo
I played two days ago using system memory allocator it was fine...
Now this ... does it happen in SP too? Do you play on low?
spiral compass
I play on Ultra, FPS on Stratis Multiplayer 35-50. I do not use any memory allocator. The low textures only appear on certain vehicles, Offroad, Hunter, Strider. But most of them are fine, trucks, hatchbacks etc. I tried the editor, it seems to be normal. I think it's only happening on MP.
cobalt ginkgo
this looks like a LOD issue... what do you think @rich yoke
seems like he is seeing a distant LOD up close...
Try a different server and a different mission see if it persists
in case it does report the bug on http://feedback.bistudio.com
also try to decrease the video setting a bit, let it Autodetect and see what that gets you
If you have Intel processor use -HT switch and disable C1E, C6 and see if CPU runs on max frequency
Ultra peggs both GPU and CPU
spiral compass
It is running on max frequency, i3570k @4,4 Ghz. The weird thing is, if there is an offroad besides a Suv, the Suv will have normal textures, like always, but offroads are always on that ugly low texture.

Is it happening right now? Try flushing your memory by pressing left shift and the - key on the numpad, and type flush

Hey guys i was having issues with my A3 Tools. So i uninstalled it and deleted everything from P drive and the arma 3 tools folder to start fresh
I remounted my P drive and reinstalled the tools but now my P drive is completely empty. I can do the "Extract Game Data" at all as it pops up with this error. https://gyazo.com/58385bfb6c4455296e3cf973b5ee8545
I also cant install bulldozer
So i messed up somewhere. Does anyone have any clue how to fix this?
rich yoke
Do you know what directory your P drive was created from before?
If you don't have a directory set for your work drive initially it will default to the directory shown in one of the errors, which is C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Arma 3 Projects. So perhaps that directory doesn't exist
If you open up Arma 3 Tools from steam and then go to preferences > options, you can uncheck the "Use default" box for the Path to your P drive and select your own
fringe salmon
@rich yoke I did just did that and this start spamming with errors when i went to extract game data
And heres my preferences after doing the chagnes

Well that's probably your issue then, it's a little confusing the way they word it. But your P drive is just a copy of a directory of your choosing, so my path to my P drive is E:\ArmaWork\

Move CBA to front of -mod
next vapor
ok
mellow spear
is dedi crashing or client
mellow spear
Anyways, that's would be my recommendation, 1) Switch malloc to system, see if that helps 2) Redownload the mods 3) No clue
next vapor
moving CBA to the front causes server not to load as Exile Doesn't require CBA but Cups does
mellow spear
I've had this issue with certain mod packs from certain groups
my current group doesn't have this issue thankfully

Video card driver updates? Review your video quality settings? And are these drops on vanilla Arma 3 (No Mods). And does the FPS drop occur on ALL Servers or just some...
fringe salmon
I tested while playing BR and Wasteland, it occurs on all servers

Many mods adversely affect FPS. Just as many servers are poorly managed. Test on an official Arma3 server with no mods.
2 killers of FPS are PIP and Vsync

Remember, best looking may not represent best FPS

@desert isle PIP kills FPS even if you don't look at it? Or when you don't even have any vehicle with PIP on map?

Hello, a friend of mine can't change his key bindings.
While he can change them in the Menu (and presses okay) they do not work ingame.
He runs vanilla Arma 3. Anybody has an idea?
rich yoke
To just confirm, the original key bindings still work? They just aren't updating to the new keys he sets them to once he is in game?
hidden pier
Yes, but he discoverd something. This only happens in the editor. Meaning. When he drops a unit in the editor and starts playing the key binds don't work.
However, when he plays the tutorial (he said) it works fine with the new key binds
Arsenal does not work either
I might add: He already reinstalled
rich yoke
That's rather bizarre, can you also confirm that when he sets a new key bind he is definitely hitting the "ok" option to exit out of the actual screen where you set the key titled "Configure action". Then he hits "ok" again on the next screen where he see all of the current key bindings, that window is titled "Controls"

Yes he told me he did. Also the new keys do work in some occasions
rich yoke
It's easy to mess that up, I know I have many times because I was so use to hitting escape to get out of menus.
So if he checks the key binding in the editor menu it shows correctly, but when he loads in it doesn't work? Is it then shown correctly on the key binding list?
hidden pier
Shown correctly in game aswell but just don't work
Update: the only place where the keybinds work is the Tutorial
rich yoke
I'm pretty stumped to be honest, it's very odd to me that he could check the key binding, see that it's set correctly, and then the key doesn't work outside of the tutorial. What action and key is he binding?

Can anyone give us a hand with this? the texture is working perfectly in bulldozer but fucks up completely in game.
blissful bramble
what size are the textures?
raven badger
2048x2048
Never mind, we had a stray named selection that was overlaying the standard skin texture for some reason

What exactly does headless client help with?
I remember it back in Arma 2 but i just do not know what it is suppose to help with. Like what are the benefits of using a headless client?

"Headless Client is used to offload AI calculations from the server" - https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Headless_Client

I'm getting a temp memory leak if that makes any sense. It starts as frame drops then all textures go potato for about a min, then it's all ok after that.
Anyone know what's going on?
cobalt ginkgo
do you use any memory alocator different from the default one?
Do you have paging file disabled?
monitor cpu/gpu/ram/disk usage during play and see if there are any spikes

So I want to skip the briefing screen for my mission I am working on and came across a bunch of post and stating that KK's code works. Issue is I do not know where to place the code and if that is the only thing I need to do? Can someone help? http://killzonekid.com/arma-scripting-tutorials-how-to-skip-briefing-screen-in-mp/
wary hamlet
This code actually CTD. Stated it could never find the file and would not even let me load my mission in eden
Is there another way to skip briefing in mp?

guys, just got my pc back after an HDD crash, finished installing A3 , tools etc, but every time I try to extract the game date to P drive, I get an error that says "Main" error (0x50004003)
cancel, got it working now

my friend is having a problem with arma
stops him from launching the game completely
tried reinstallin
clearing out everything arma related
last hedge
I switch a lot between dev branch and regular.
is it any faster way to do it, than download it everytime _
I get that memory read/written error and that dev branch thing seems to fix it for a little time
slow abyss
@last hedge Install Arma 3 Tools and use the Game Updater to keep both branches downloaded.
last hedge
but will it switch quick ?
because I dont play dev branch, i just use it to "fix" my memory error
last hedge
Sometimes when I try to play exile
it quits loading and give me a memory error read or write
diffrent errors
but when i doanload the dev branch
and then go back to normal, it is fixed for a little time
so I can play it
slow abyss
That shouldn't happen. Switching branches simply downloads the differences.
It's the same as verifying the game cache
If it really fixes your game, there's something really wrong with your computer
Like your HD is breaking
last hedge
my HD is not breaking
and this fail is a common fail
3 of my friends have it
and this works for me
desert isle
No, it's not common to Arma, but maybe be common to Exile.

Try use the latest perf build, or alt+tab when loading into an exile server

hey guys, has anyone encountered maps, compasses, gps, etc. suddenly disappearing from inventory in MP? If yes, which mods do you use?
untold fractal
Yea, we got it happening with maps.
mods: ACE ACRE CBA RHS 3CB alot more.
@fallen viper
fallen viper
so it is not a vanilla problem obviously...do you maybe know which addon causes this?
untold fractal
nope, we just ignored it really.
fallen viper
ok, we just want to find the source of this because it gets really annoying with everything just disappearing and people havng to carry multiple gps, maps, compasses, etc
untold fractal
Yea, one thing I know it happend after the Apex update.
also seemed to happen after the RHS update, but I don't think RHS touches stuff like that.
fallen viper
definitely happened for us before rhs update
untold fractal
Ok yea can't really confirm that, at least I know it happend after the apex update.
fallen viper
ok, thanks for your help ๐ we'll try to find the mod that causes this. Do you want me to inform you when we are done?
untold fractal
Yea, would be great ๐

Many times when i zoom in a place i get some instants of low fps. When i zoom a second time there is no decrease in fps. Can i do something to fix that? I believe the low fps is due to LOD stages getting loaded from harddrive.

SSD would help a lot with that.
sand scarab
Hey guys, having a small issue where afew clients cant see the server, it shows not responding in steam servers, ingame and join on friends but alot of our members can join just fine and have no issues. Its also intermittant and occasionally works just fine for those with the problem... any ideas?
fringe salmon
@slow abyss , thankyou for the answer.
cobalt ginkgo
@sand scarab might be routing issue between those users having trouble ( or their ISP ) and your server
let them change their DNS to google DNS 8.8.8.8 and check again
last hedge
That is so twisted
:S
can the error come of me having to low setings ?
Memory error
Can it be caused by too low settings ?
fringe salmon
What, Memory errors?
last hedge
My friend fixes it with having the visibility to 12000 and 800
fringe salmon
Not really. Memory errors are typically caused when a program wants RAM that's already in use.
"I WANT THIS RAM."
"You can't have it!"
and then the computer just kinda conks out and BSOD's
last hedge
I get a memory read/write error when I try to play exile
fringe salmon
That's probably an issue with exile itself. Have you tried reinstalling?
last hedge
yes. and it sometimes work
and then I get the error while downloading the map
so I can fix it with downloading the devbranch, then download the regular again
fringe salmon
Just to be clear, you mean memory and not storage, right?
last hedge
yes, memory
fringe salmon
Alright, way too many people think they're interchangeable.
My best advice would be to completely reinstall everything that may be used.
Do you get a 0x0800 error code?
or a 0x error code?
fringe salmon
That's Microsoft's way of telling you "Hey, something fucked up. Here's what you can google for an answer."
last hedge
ohh
I thought it was "Hey, here I have a errorcode for you, hope you went to the university of microsoft"
hehe
fringe salmon
Nah. I work in IT, I google those codes so much I know the ones i deal with by heart now.
last hedge
So you went to the said Uni then ๐
fringe salmon
Pfft.
desert isle
If you Google "Exile + Arma" you'll find that you're not alone. Meaning the problem lies with Exile.
last hedge
Well, there might be some people here who actually know what they talk about
fringe salmon
I'm not one of them.
don't look at me.
I got confused with the front plate on a dell prebuilt today
last hedge
fringe salmon
Yep, that's a 0x error code.
last hedge
I thought discord would show the picture here
desert isle
Lol. It's much like asking a Mercedes service centre "what's wrong with my Ford"
fringe salmon
That's... A big-ass error code.
fringe salmon
Microsoft's database isn't giving me anything.
Uhh.
Your RAM is obviously good if your computer turns on
It has to be an issue with Exile.
fringe salmon
I need to go throw some RAM in end-users workstations. I'll be back later, and good luck to you!
last hedge
thanks
desert isle
Veterans and above have linking/pic permissions
desert isle
Nope
fringe salmon
Actually the Memory Error is Arma Fault ๐
Skip Lobby Feature seems to trigger it. That is why you see it so much on Exile, only people really using it plus a custom loading screen.
last hedge
I can fix it if I download dev branch and "roll back" but it takes 15 mins... and I have to do it each time
fringe salmon
Apparently Perf Build v10 fixes it
Or alt+tab outof game while it is loading, tends to help (if there is a popup warning i.e bad mod configs, then you need to startup arma & then remote connect to server & then alt+tab)
Or you create an addon to override exile and re-implement the normal lobby screen. But that means you need to host a server & all players need to use such an addon
last hedge
ohh
that addonpart is a nogo.
I am just a player ๐
I treid to alt+tab. but it didnt work
and I dont understand why it helps for me to download the devbranch thing. but a friend of mine just have to be sure that viewdistance is 12000/ 800
and we have the exact same PC (bought together)
fringe salmon
Just try the perf build etc
last hedge
what is the perf build (sry for being stupid)
fringe salmon
Look at perf_prof_branch channel
Or just enter the code CautionSpecialProfilingAndTestingBranchArma3
Into Steam -> Arma 3 Properties -> Betas & Select Profiling etc
last hedge
will I be able to remove that code ?
And play on normal servers ?
Thank you @fringe salmon for helping me!
fringe salmon
You will be able to join normal servers, perf builds are expermential so some times they will break stuff.
To revert you just change the dropdown box etc
desert isle
I know I'm probably being too literal, but, if Arma vanilla runs fine there is "no problem" if Arma +Exile gives you issues, it's Exiles fault. If I add an aftermarket turbo to my car and it blows my engine due to too much boost, it wasn't the engines fault.
If you couldn't tell, I like analogies.
fringe salmon
I have overridden a dialog & disabled skiplobby and memory errors at joining a server disappeared
No other changes
desert isle
@last hedge You are right in that you (luckily) found someone who has knowledge of your issue, but Exile mod forums may have been a better choice.
last hedge
Until Torndeco came ๐
desert isle
On the plus side, @fringe salmon has been around the block a few times ๐
fringe salmon
It prob would be nice if Exile released an update to disable skiplobby since its triggers memory issue. But i don't think that will happen
Anyway back to coding
last hedge
It is good that some people are willing to help. I have searched a lot on the internet, but nothing really seems to work. So this was my last resort, or I could joined a exile forum. But there are so many people that are wron.
Thanks !

Antone else having issues with Arma 3 workshop mods?
ive been trying to download CUP and all the neccesisties but even after steam says its finished the download the A3 launcher says its waiting for steam to update mods and that none of the mods i have just supposedly downloaded are installed
cobalt ginkgo
Wait for Steam to finish, dont start launcher before it. If you do it will never get it done
boreal loom
ive done that
download is done and launcher was not opened before download was finished

See the launcher logs and steam logs and see if anything fails or hangs.

Anyone willing to help me with some performance problems on Arma 3 ?
I'm currently running a i5-3470 @ 3.4ghz , 8 Gb's of RAM and a MSI Gaming X 1060 6G and intergrated GPU for the second screen , I've went to play King Of The Hill and I've had 13 to 23 fps on teh base with the settings at the medium low settings...
Even when I played with my GTX 650 1GB I got better performance than this.. What can I do to fix this?
Plus my GPU load is at 1 to 12 % all the time ..
inland holly
intergrated GPU
gentle gust
Is arma 3 selecting the iGPU ?
inland holly
You cannot run both integrated and discrete graphics simultaneously, your motherboard is defaulting to the iGPU.
gentle gust
It's not. I play alot of other games, all in Ultra and High settings without a single problem..
And I've had iGPU and the 650 at the same time and I had better performance than I have now..
inland holly
The iGPU is the problem. Can you plug your 2nd display into your GPU?
gentle gust
Sadly not.. It's a VGA and a 1060 doesn"t have VGA's..
I"ll try to disable the iGPU go back to Arma 3 and see how it goes
If it's the same I don't know what to do..
With the 650 I was able to play KoTH with over 30 fps in cities and 60 in base. Now I cant even get over 30 in base..
I overclocked my cpu from 3.4ghz to 3.5ghz
Still the same.
30 fps in the lowest settings possible.
What. I decided to switch thing to high and I am on 50 to 60 fps
Arma pls. Well thank you!!
Still some drops though but its more playable now
inland holly
Yeah, Arma likes to put things on the CPU when stuff is set to low.
