I am having a problem with Zeus:
When Zeus is a JIP player or if you crash and have to reconnect etc. sometimes (most of the time) zeus module did not work anymore and you could not access the zeus mode
This basically renders my unit unable to continue playing a zeus mission effectively. once zeus has to reconnect for some reason
I have heard that there is a fix, can someone assist?

(Third time asking 😦 )

#

guys, what would cause addonbuilder not to physically show? it says it's loading, then nothing appears, everything was fine till the last tools update 😦

#

This is the error in the rpt.

2016-09-23 19:08:26,891 [ERROR] 1: AddonBuilder.Startup.Main - System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Configuration system failed to initialize ---> System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: '.', hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character.

disregard, the userconfig for the update got screwed up so copied and pasted the old one into the new build config.. it worked

is this the correct channel to report it ?

fringe hamlet Sep 23, 2016, 4:55 PM

I think checking the feedback tracker to see if it has been already reported and submitting a report if not is the best approach.

Our server is spitting out an error that dta/core.pbo as well as two others have errors

#

but those are files from the server itself

#

we have updated the server to the newest hotfix version

Any idea what this is?

It's also saying

check your command line for startup parameters and check server rpt for errors

thats derp, its 'normal'

latent obsidian Sep 23, 2016, 10:40 PM

#

ye ik

#

but thats the last entry

#

So i don't think my server cfg file is being loaded

#

Either that

#

Or my mission isn't persistant? (Which i thought is only server.cfg related, maybe somewhere else?)

cobalt ginkgo Sep 23, 2016, 10:41 PM

#

I dont know much about life mission files

#

if it saves shit then its pretty much persistent

latent obsidian Sep 23, 2016, 10:43 PM

#

Ye but

#

How can i be sure it's loading my server.cfg file

cobalt ginkgo Sep 23, 2016, 10:43 PM

#

do you have verifysignatures enabled in server.cfg?

Because in server.cfg "persistent" is 1

#

Uhm

#

#

server rpt or server.cfg

#

you said rpt... but i can't post rpt in this discord

cobalt ginkgo Sep 23, 2016, 10:47 PM

#

which is my computer name

#

cobalt ginkgo Sep 23, 2016, 10:48 PM

#

do you have a dedicated server or are you playing around with it at home?

latent obsidian Sep 23, 2016, 10:49 PM

#

Local host on my pc

#

that i play arma on

#

Setting up a lfie server, then buying a dedi

#

to host it so i don't spend alot of money, working on a dedi server as a test server

#

So ye, the problem is the server.cfg isn't being loaded

#

That's why -autoInit won't work, because it's not "persistent" and there's no mission selected, and the hostname isn't what is specified in the file.

cobalt ginkgo Sep 23, 2016, 10:51 PM

latent obsidian Sep 23, 2016, 10:53 PM

I know

cobalt ginkgo Sep 23, 2016, 10:53 PM

#

why get away?

latent obsidian Sep 23, 2016, 10:53 PM

#

Because

#

I prefer without more "shit"

#

And it doesn't give me as much flexibility in terms of

#

How to start server, all the config settings, etc

#

becuz the latest version (3.0) is built on 1.62

#

So the new stuff isn't supported, etc

cobalt ginkgo Sep 23, 2016, 10:54 PM

#

hm.. its been a while Ive been dealing with servers, let me lookup my old configs and will come up with a propper startup for you

#

new stuff

#

what new stuff

latent obsidian Sep 23, 2016, 10:55 PM

I see you typing Pennyworth 😛

#

a TL:DR For people who just came (Penny)
Basically, my server.cfg isn't loading.

rich yoke Sep 23, 2016, 10:56 PM

#

How do you have Arma 3 Server installed? Starting arma3server.exe from normal Steam Arma 3 client installation, Arma 3 Server from Steam, or steamcmd?

latent obsidian Sep 23, 2016, 10:56 PM

#

Used steamCMD to download it

#

then i shoved it in it's own directory (A:\Files\Arma 3 Servers\Altis Life)

#

then put another one for Server 1 (4.4r3)

#

A:\Files\Arma 3 Servers\Altis Life\Server 1 (4.4r3)

#

then i put the server installation inside that folder, added @extDB2, @life_server the mission pbo into mpmissions

#

and put the battleye files into the battleye folder

rich yoke Sep 23, 2016, 10:58 PM

#

Have you tried looking for your server on the LAN tab?

latent obsidian Sep 23, 2016, 10:58 PM

#

Then i just made a "server" directory, then put a folder called "logs" for the -profiles

#

Yes

#

I can see it on the LAN Tab

#

But its using "Thomas-Desktop" as hostname

#

which in server.cfg its defining it as..

#

hostname = "Latouth Altis Life Server 1 - 0.0.6"; // The name of the server that shall be displayed in the public server list

#

So it's not loading the server.cfg basically

cobalt ginkgo Sep 23, 2016, 10:59 PM

#

protip, shorten that path to something like A:\A3server\ it make things a bit easier and cleaner

#

dont mess with steamcmd if you dont have to, download arma3 server from steam tools

rich yoke Sep 23, 2016, 11:00 PM

#

I think it's fine to use steamcmd

cobalt ginkgo Sep 23, 2016, 11:00 PM

#

but it is prone to fail sometimes

rich yoke Sep 23, 2016, 11:01 PM

#

Try putting the server.cfg in the same directory as arma3server.exe or the script you are starting from. Then change the config start parameter to just "-config=server.cfg"

#

I can't remember if the path is relative to where the script is running from or where arma3server.exe, my gut says it's relative to where the script is being run from. To play it safe though it wouldn't hurt to have both the server start script and the server.cfg in the same folder.

#

And I'd strip the server start parameters to the bare minimum until you get it working correctly.

cobalt ginkgo Sep 23, 2016, 11:17 PM

#

or use ta2dst and look into the folders and configs it generates

#

also read the manual

latent obsidian Sep 23, 2016, 11:19 PM

#

@rich yoke
Alright, will do

#

Also i've been using
-cfg="A:\Files\Arma 3 Servers\Altis Life\Server 1 (4.4r3)\server\basic.cfg"
For example

#

but your example you put you did "-config=server.cfg"

#

as the whole param is in "

cobalt ginkgo Sep 23, 2016, 11:20 PM

#

thats where there are no profiles

latent obsidian Sep 23, 2016, 11:20 PM

#

Huh?

cobalt ginkgo Sep 23, 2016, 11:21 PM

#

and server.cfg is in exe root

#

if you dont know/understand what I speak of RTFM

latent obsidian Sep 23, 2016, 11:22 PM

#

oo

#

using -config=server.cfg
worked when i shoved server.cfg into the server root

#

Huh, interesting

#

thing is, the profiles param worked using the full document including A:\

#

Oh, derp

rich yoke Sep 23, 2016, 11:25 PM

#

I just put "-config=server.cfg" in quotes because I'm on mobile and can't do the code markdown

latent obsidian Sep 23, 2016, 11:25 PM

#

I figured out what iti s

#

-config="server.cfg"

#

would be trying to load "server.cfg" the file (including the quotes)

#

doing it like "-config=server.cfg" would load server.cfg

#

works fine now

#

With these:
"-cfg=server\basic.cfg" "-config=server\server.cfg"

cobalt ginkgo Sep 23, 2016, 11:27 PM

#

latent obsidian Sep 23, 2016, 11:27 PM

#

cobalt ginkgo Sep 23, 2016, 11:27 PM

#

reading helps

latent obsidian Sep 23, 2016, 11:27 PM

#

Now, if you have the answer to why it shows twice... that'd be great

#

Been having this for ages, through versions, tadst, everything

#

Must be a double check for a local server, (like same-pc)

cobalt ginkgo Sep 23, 2016, 11:28 PM

#

shows twice in server browser or you have two instances launching?

latent obsidian Sep 23, 2016, 11:28 PM

#

twice in server browser

#

But either one works fine

#

And if i favorite one, the other one isn't

cobalt ginkgo Sep 23, 2016, 11:29 PM

#

are they both in the internet servers?

#

eg not in LAN

latent obsidian Sep 23, 2016, 11:29 PM

#

Yes

#

wait what

#

Only my pc can see it twice

#

but if my friends join, they see it once.

#

I'm not competent enough to read anything from that, seems quite generic. Do you have this issue only with a particular mission? I see you started arma 3 with connect parameters to have it automatically connect to a specific server?

Have you tried starting it without that?

desert isle Sep 24, 2016, 2:52 PM

@runic wraith, sometimes those Parameters suggested by various guides are what cause these sorts of issues. Did you have this issue before altering them?

runic wraith Sep 24, 2016, 2:54 PM

#

I havent changed anything from the big 5gb update of SPOTREP 59 / 60 , Only thing i noticed memory was reduced to 2047 but thats all,

#

Worked fine before the update, But just to make sure i just recently 2 minutes or so ago, Clicked default in the launcher and launched fine. So it must be somethere there then, What settings are usually fine working with and which arent?

#

Appears its back but in a diffrent message , Launched a showcase and soon i loaded in memory , 0x6f249464 - 0x00000054

desert isle Sep 24, 2016, 3:02 PM

#

Thats the problem with Arma sometimes. What worked yesterday, may not work today and definitely wont work tomorrow. I've found that a default launch is the best way to avoid issues and Ive kept mine default since the day Arma dropped.

runic wraith Sep 24, 2016, 3:03 PM

#

Ah, Thank you for the tip. I'll make sure to not mess with it again. Seems default the way to go, Now i just need my most recent error even with default settings fixed somehow

well the RPT indicates he is still starting 1.62 binary not 1.64

cobalt ginkgo Sep 24, 2016, 3:34 PM

#

yeah RPT says its 1.62 not sure how but maybe updates are disabled or the update went terribly wrong

#

verify game cache in Steam

#

also this launch params -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=7 -enableHT

#

do you have a quad core intel cpu?

#

if not dont use -enableHT

tiny imp Sep 24, 2016, 3:42 PM

#

@cobalt ginkgo wrong, if he has CPU with HyperThreading then he shall use -enableHT and not -cpuCount=<number>

cobalt ginkgo Sep 24, 2016, 3:44 PM

#

Sorry but I think most AMD cpu's dont have HT so it shouldnt be used

#

though -cpucount and -exthreads can be used in AMD based systems

runic wraith Sep 24, 2016, 3:47 PM

#

When you talk about 1.62 & 1.64 Are these files from Arma official or we talking the profiling build etc? I did verify files both before and after now again. And my processor is a i7 2600 so HT is supported.

cobalt ginkgo Sep 24, 2016, 3:48 PM

#

1.64 is new stable build

#

so I dont know how possibly you can have 1.62 unless if you are using that specific branch in steam settings for arma3

#

and for params yes you are fine, I just saw you have AMD HD6800 GPU so I thought maybe the cpu is AMD also, hence the warning

tiny imp Sep 24, 2016, 3:50 PM

#

@cobalt ginkgo -enableHT has nothing to do with -exThreads ... only -cpuCount .... (enableHT is like cpucount=allcoresincludingHTones)

cobalt ginkgo Sep 24, 2016, 3:51 PM

#

sorry my bad
Enables the use of hyper-threading CPU cores which might slightly improve performance in certain scenarios. Note that this option may be overriden by -cpuCount so if you want to use maximum number of CPU cores use -enableHT without -cpuCount.

Well it just doesn't move at all even though the vehicle was newly spawned.

cobalt ginkgo Sep 24, 2016, 10:52 PM

do you run any other mods was it in MP server and which mission ( if publicly available )

#

so I can try to reproduce

split quest Sep 25, 2016, 3:40 AM

#

@cobalt ginkgo It was a MP server. the mission is not public. but I can tell you the mod list and the map in question was on Takistan.

#

Mod list according to Arma3sync I will list as follows just without the @ mark abramia, ace3, acre2, acres, asr_ai3, CBA_A3, Cup_Terrains_Core, Cup_Terrains_Maps, k_mnp, NIArsenal, RHSAFRF, RHSGREF, RHSUSAF, Shacktack_map_gestures, st_gi, st_stamina_bar, sthud_a3, Vcom_driving

cobalt ginkgo Sep 25, 2016, 4:07 AM

#

ok I dont know what some mods are there but its doesnt matter as long as they dont modify vehicle configs... I will try to reproduce but I have one more question for you

are all vehicles behaving like that or just RHS and is that issue specific for offroad driving or it happens on roads too? All RHS ground vehicles behave like this or just tracked or just wheeled?

#

Oh another one, does that same happen on Arma3 islands or just on CUP or both?

desert isle Sep 25, 2016, 6:20 AM

#

Not sure if it's still the case anymore, but have you tried placing CBA first in the modlist?

split quest Sep 25, 2016, 2:35 PM

#

This appears to happen to RHS vehicles. cause we have a rifle range mission to mess with stuff and all default vehicles work just fine. Also I would like to note the mission in question worked before the newest update.

Also I would like to note the mission in question worked before the newest update
I could not reproduce the issue with vehicles being too slow. If your issue is somehow tied to specific missions and AI driving / mods for that, then I suggest to inspect your mission code and remove any AI mods first and see if the issue is still there. In case its not just AI please post a ticket with your findings at RHS feedback tracker.

#

So here's a strange problem that I'm curious to know if anyone else has ran into, and if they have any idea on how to fix

#

I have a buddy that can't connect to my server, but if he just spams connect attempts, eventually he manages to get in

#

It's not his first time playing with us, he's played for probably hundreds of hours on this server, suddenly after the latest update something went wonky though

#

He says he has changed nothing

rich yoke Sep 26, 2016, 2:47 AM

#

How is he connecting?

#

For example, launcher server browser, steam friends list, in game server browser

plush oracle Sep 26, 2016, 2:47 AM

#

ingame

#

The error he gets is "Connecting failed"

#

Chatting with him now, he says he has also tried through steam and gotten similar results

rich yoke Sep 26, 2016, 2:51 AM

#

Is your server just locally hosted or do you have a dedicated server?

plush oracle Sep 26, 2016, 2:54 AM

#

dedicated

#

run out of chicago, runs the linux dedicated server with a hefty mod pack

#

We also run a windows server, but supposedly he doesn't have any issues connecting to that (although I haven't verified that)

#

I feel like it's a networking or firewall issue, but based on the randomness of how it works, that seems unlikely to me now

rich yoke Sep 26, 2016, 2:57 AM

#

Maybe, I've heard of people having issues with OVH automatically blocking people's IPs.

#

Is he definitely running all of the correct mods?

#

Both version, and all of them are enabled?

plush oracle Sep 26, 2016, 3:00 AM

#

Looks like it, I've only taken a cursory glance at it, but it's the correct number of mods, checked the hashes from RPT of a handful against my own clients and they're the same

#

Server RPT doesn't say anything more than "Player x disconnected."

#

Just checked all the hashes and they checkout just fine, only difference being that we use different sound mods (JSRS vs Dynasound), but there's many people in our community that run those, so I imagine that's not the issue

rich yoke Sep 26, 2016, 3:06 AM

#

Probably not, and you have verifySignatures set to 2 in server.cfg?

plush oracle Sep 26, 2016, 3:06 AM

#

correct

fringe salmon Sep 26, 2016, 5:20 AM

#

@plush oracle there are some people in my unit with the same thing. Although they are able to connect they are kicked 2 minutes later for signature time out. Seems to be at random because there are period where they connect without issues and remain on the server

Hi, when I try to play in the editor it doesn't work at all, all I see is this: https://gyazo.com/6334d3577eab4ae8067adc2f61a91c65

#

i can't click anything

#

Can't look around anywhere

#

All I can do is return to editor

#

Where I can place things like usual

#

But as soon as i try to play the scenario

#

This happens

new mission?

#

or old saved one

fringe salmon Sep 26, 2016, 2:37 PM

#

Neither works

#

The other maps don't work either, just tried it

rich yoke Sep 26, 2016, 2:41 PM

#

You probably don't have a unit set as player

fringe salmon Sep 26, 2016, 2:41 PM

#

How do I set that?

#

It worked yesterday without issue

rich yoke Sep 26, 2016, 2:42 PM

#

It would work in multiplayer, but not in singleplayer from the editor

#

Double click a unit or right click and select attributes, then check the "Player" box under "Object: Control"

fringe salmon Sep 26, 2016, 2:42 PM

#

Oh wait I'm an idiot

#

If I don't delete the units from the helicopters i'm placing down

You know, tutorials, something something youtube..

fringe salmon Sep 26, 2016, 2:53 PM

#

Just that I hadn't had any issues before

#

But I didn't connect the two

#

That I wasn't deleting the people from the cars/helos

fringe salmon Sep 26, 2016, 5:46 PM

#

That's not really something a new player would know, @cursive vessel . But @fringe salmon if you don't have a unit set as PLAYER (not playable) in the right click > attributes tab, then you will get that screen when you load in singleplayer.

#

Okay thanks :D

hello,
so i have this laptop here Dell inspiron 3521 with those specs
Intel i5-3317u
6GB of Ram
AMD Radeon 7670m 1gb
in single player i can get up to 80-60fps in high settings but when it come to multiplayers altis, exile esseker or even chernarus the game last so hard wish is unplayable fps about 10 some times it goes down to 5 then start crashing so please can u tell me if there's anyway to fix that ?

stable thunder Sep 28, 2016, 1:13 PM

#

@peak nacelle ArmA is very CPU intense. What you described is well known and not really unique, everyone experiences this. If you join a multiplayer server, it is my understanding that the server sends you all data from all objects and your CPU has to crunch on them. Since you have a laptop, your CPU is designed for low power usage and hence not high performance enough for ArmA. My recommendation would be to get a Desktop PC for games, especially ArmA.

fringe salmon Sep 28, 2016, 1:16 PM

#

It's not so much as having a baller CPU with a shitload of cores but rather a CPU with excellent single-thread performance if you want to talk about a PC built for Arma 3. Arma 3 only runs on one thread, because all the scripts being executed have to be synchronized.

peak nacelle Sep 28, 2016, 1:18 PM

#

for now i can only use laptops cuz of school / work am going to buy desktop soon how ever, but is there's any tips i can get to boost perfomance a little ? balance stuff up i'd like to have 20-25fps that can be playable 😦

#

tried to follow couple of videos on youtube non of them help

fringe salmon Sep 28, 2016, 1:19 PM

#

Off a laptop? I can't really say.

#

Just don't play on low.

#

Low settings, that is.'

peak nacelle Sep 28, 2016, 1:19 PM

#

vauun am actualy setting everything on lowest possible on multiplayer should i change it ? (also i have turboboost mod on all time)

fringe salmon Sep 28, 2016, 1:19 PM

#

No.

#

You should not run everything on low.

#

Arma 3 will offload certain things to your CPU if you run them on low. shadows in particular

#

Which is really fucking dumb but that's Arma 3 for you

peak nacelle Sep 28, 2016, 1:20 PM

#

i have removed shadows completly

fringe salmon Sep 28, 2016, 1:20 PM

#

well, as a general rule of thumb, low is bad

peak nacelle Sep 28, 2016, 1:21 PM

#

can u give me good config for 1gb of vram and that slow cpu ? i'd be thankfull

fringe salmon Sep 28, 2016, 1:21 PM

#

honestly my build has 8GB of VRAM and a relatively modern CPU so i'd have no idea

#

i still don't run Arma very well

jaunty cedar Sep 28, 2016, 1:21 PM

#

I have a similar but slightly weaker laptop and all I can say is that the system is just not up to the task. It's good enough for occasional testing though

fringe salmon Sep 28, 2016, 1:22 PM

#

I run multiplayer at like 30 FPS, or depending on number of AI, around 40

#

Singleplayer campaign hovers from 40-60

#

It's not a well-built game.

#

The engine is awful.

peak nacelle Sep 28, 2016, 1:22 PM

#

x'( sad how i can play on empty servers with everything at high with 30fps and in 20+ player servers with 10fps xD

#

i think its same engine for dayz

stable thunder Sep 28, 2016, 1:23 PM

#

@peak nacelle the graphics settings in ArmA do not dictate your FPS like in most other games. Most other games are limited by your GPU in terms of FPS. ArmA is mostly CPU limited, it is only GPU limited if your CPU is very fast and your GPU is very slow and you crank everything up.

#

@fringe salmon what cpu you have?

fringe salmon Sep 28, 2016, 1:24 PM

#

a 4690K overvolted and overclocked to 4.5Ghz / 1.25v

stable thunder Sep 28, 2016, 1:24 PM

#

thats odd because i get a lot more frames with my 6600K which is comparable.

peak nacelle Sep 28, 2016, 1:24 PM

#

jcd does arma use hyperthreading auto or i need to set it manuel ?

fringe salmon Sep 28, 2016, 1:24 PM

#

I have a GTX 1070 and I don't see its usage go above 60% and I run on max.

#

You have to set it manually in the launch optio ns

#

-enableHT i think is the switch

Well JCD depending on what work does for me I might upgrade to Skylake but that'd require me to replace literally everything in my computer

#

Except the GPU, PSU, and storage

stable thunder Sep 28, 2016, 1:25 PM

#

@fringe salmon i wouldn't recommend you at all to upgrade to skylake from haswell, performance gains will be minor.

yeah? I haven't been paying much attention to skylake

stable thunder Sep 28, 2016, 1:26 PM

on servers with 130 people, it will do down, but stay playable. i'll see dips down to 30 fps occasionally, and average fps will be in 40ish ballpark.

I never have the 2 fps bug.

First time i had it was on the first time i iniciated 1.64.

#

But this is another "topic"...

#

This was the first and the last i had this bug, until now.

#

When something is wrong in my mod, i review all the code, starting with the more relevant ones for the problem. This require time, patience and a health mind, because you need to see something you have not saw in the past. BI need to do that in millions of lines what should be impossible.

Hi what is TFAR

I'm using ACRE 2 and no problem

vernal pagoda Oct 2, 2016, 6:19 PM

Our group prefers the functionality of ACRE

but it's causing one minor issue, in that half of those installing it don't get radio squawks at all

I don't, I've never had any issues, but around half of us do

and I don't know what to do about it anymore

coupled with the other stuff ACRE does we'd like to switch over to it

stable thunder Oct 2, 2016, 6:22 PM

#

yes Mootaz it is

vernal pagoda Oct 2, 2016, 6:22 PM

#

but this one thing is stopping us

#

It has to be something that can be fixed, because entire communities use ACRE, like ST or UO

#

and they dont seem to have any issues

stable thunder Oct 2, 2016, 6:23 PM

Well i never really used ACRE hence i am interested in things it does better than TFAR since i am entirely unaware of those.

Yeah known issue -> http://gitlab.idi-systems.com/idi-systems/acre2-public/issues/99
Unforunately I have yet to find the cause. It only seems to occur for me when I am not in a position to debug it (i.e. with lots of people and I am in a leadership role)

I've seen some people saying you need to edit the server.cfg for b64 but I havent had the capacity to test it

mild bane Oct 2, 2016, 6:32 PM

but that only works in the case where its borked for all. As if the file isn't whitelisted and you are using BE then nobody will get the sounds as they can't be loaded.

Yea some of us do get the sounds is the thing, so I don't think thats it

Hey, have you guys ever run into a problem testing your mission in the editor where you use "switch to leader" from context, but it switches to a dead person, and it makes it so you can't open the ingame menu?
Thus preventing me from terminating the mission and returning to the editor?
Is there any keyboard shortcut to end a mission?

AFAIK its arma bug with vehicles Physx or something along those lines. If you spawn in a vehicle you will sometimes not be able to move or very slow. Avoid spawning inside vehicles.

If you 1 - Enter a server 2 - Leave the server 3 - The server Mission File get Changed 4 - You try tpo join the server again. You can't join it again because the game keep trying to use the old mission file.

cobalt ginkgo Oct 9, 2016, 4:58 AM

Is that server on a saparate machine running from separate installation of arma3 server from steam tools? In case you are trying to run a server from the same installation of arma3 that you are trying to join the server, that is not possible.

#

If you want to do that on same machine download arma3 server from steam tools and run it from there

#

also always inspect your RPT for crash causes and any problem, both on client and the server

I have been having a ton of issues getting RCON to connect to my two hosted (Host Havoc) Arma 3 servers. I can get my headless clients work, but RCON just doesn't connect. I have my RconPort defined as 2312, which is my server port. I have also tried all ports from 2306&up. I do not have an RconIP defined. Thanks for any and all help!

swift pecan Oct 10, 2016, 7:25 PM

#

khut, you should have a beserver.cfg file inside your battleye folder, where bans.txt is, inside that you can add :
RConPort 2302
RConPassword change_me
MaxPing 350

If not, create it manually

uneven wave Oct 10, 2016, 8:24 PM

#

@swift pecan, thanks for the reply. I did not have the beserver.cfg in that folder, but even after adding it, I cannot connect. For me, that folder is in A3DS/TCAGame. The beserver.cfg is also located in the BattleEye folder, located A3DS/BattleEye. Any other ideas? I don't think it is a firewall issue as I am able to connect my headless client.

cobalt ginkgo Oct 10, 2016, 8:29 PM

#

do you have full acess to your server, or lets rephrase a bit is it dedicated or have you actually bought the game server and have ftp access and TCadmin panel?

uneven wave Oct 10, 2016, 8:29 PM

#

I have ftp access and TCAdmin panel access

cobalt ginkgo Oct 10, 2016, 8:30 PM

#

thought so, ask your provider to open the port you wish to use, its probably closed

#

and do explain why you need it, also it good idea to just add one IP passtrough for rcon in case you have a static IP and only you will use rcon

uneven wave Oct 10, 2016, 8:32 PM

#

I will ask them that. Thank you so much, I really appreciate all of the help on here!

cobalt ginkgo Oct 10, 2016, 8:34 PM

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BattlEye

#

and read that especially RCON part

#

default reserved ports are 2302 - 2305 (to clarify the reserved ports can't be used for BattlEye's RCON).
example for default server setting, RconPort 2301```

#

so if your server runs in 2312 port range from 2312 up to 2315 cant be used for rcon, use something like 2311 or 2310

swift pecan Oct 10, 2016, 8:39 PM

Khut, contact your host and check as Jastreb says, port open and able to accept connections, better yet ask them to enable it and do the setup for you

I've got a user report that the Nimitz causes an out of memory/low memory problem on his dedicated server by PM. I investigated on this with hcpookie lately and found that the attachTo command of manned air defenses caused a memory leak in arma. The leak was caused by custom air defenses (mk29 sea sparrow, Phalanx and RAM) but also AA titan statics. However, I could not reproduce it with attaching the AA titan statics to vanilla trucks, then it worked without leak. Any ideas how to further troubleshoot this situation? I put the script up at http://pastebin.com/zqbDc4Yt , note that the attachTo is commented now.

strange drift Oct 11, 2016, 11:38 AM

#

how and when is this called?

jaunty cedar Oct 11, 2016, 11:40 AM

#

from the init script tied to the init event handler

strange drift Oct 11, 2016, 11:40 AM

#

after L10 you should add:
if (isNul _nimspots) exitWith{};

#

init = executed by all clients+server

#

thus at the start:
if (!isServer) exitWith {};

jaunty cedar Oct 11, 2016, 11:42 AM

#

hopefully that's done from the scripts that call the init airdefense

strange drift Oct 11, 2016, 11:42 AM

#

hope => wrong approach

#

you need safe coding

#

//(crew _v) joinSilent _grp;
not sure if A3 still has problems cleaning up empty groups

#

this could be a problem otherwise

jaunty cedar Oct 11, 2016, 11:44 AM

#

to be more specific, the scripts that call initAirdefense do if ( !isServer ) exitWith {};

#

but thanks for the code review, much appreciated!

strange drift Oct 11, 2016, 11:44 AM

#

//createVehicleCrew _v;
albeit unlikely it could be that BI messed up that cmd causing a mem leak

jaunty cedar Oct 11, 2016, 11:46 AM

#

without crew there is no mem leak, even with attachTo. But with crew and with attachTo the mem leak happens

strange drift Oct 11, 2016, 11:47 AM

Not that I know of. Although attachTo creates constant network traffic as long as the objects stays attached

per attached object

So if you keep attaching objects, it will eventually eat all the available traffic

@jaunty badger well i am planning to move us to a CI system soon too and interested in what others are doing that may be useful to us too

ok and who is that - Nou?

Glowbal, jonpas, ...

#

They don't use the discords or the BIF though

#

jonpas [8:53 PM]  
well with Travis CI we only have sqf/config style validators

[8:53]  
missing braces, semi-colons, checking tabs instead of spaces... etc

[8:54]  
the real deal is on the CI server we setup with Nou, it already does automated dev-builds for ACRE, but auto-testing is another huge thing that's probably just not worth it :stuck_out_tongue:

commy2 [8:54 PM]  
tell him, not me

opaque crown Oct 11, 2016, 6:59 PM

all you can do is use armake, but that doesn't work for RTMs yet

auto-tests are obviously out of the question on any non-Windows box with Arma

strange drift Oct 11, 2016, 7:02 PM

#

sqf/config style validators
thats nice - i saw a py script reference; all custom made?

#

yeah its probably way too much hassle do run it in a VM and get some interconnection going

#

however with autotest one can do many useful things

#

BI uses it for performance tests and AI tests (probably more these days)

#

still by no means to the level of other engines or actual programming languages and tools, yet its better than manual testing after all

opaque crown Oct 11, 2016, 7:16 PM

#

I can see BI using it, as they have the game itself and can do stuff with it and adapt to tools they use

#

we can only go as far with mods

#

and yes, those python scripts are custom made, mostly by Glowbal and Pabstmirror I think

#

https://github.com/acemod/ACE3/blob/master/tools/sqf_validator.py

#

https://github.com/acemod/ACE3/blob/master/tools/config_validator.py

config validator even supports makePbo's lint check

and also style checker, but that's more ACE3 coding guidelines oriented of course

Nou said they have CI set up with ACRE and publishing dev builds to steam

opaque crown Oct 11, 2016, 8:25 PM

#

yep we do

#

running on a Windows machine through Jenkins, using a custom make script (derivated from make.py that ACE3/CBA uses) that uses pboProject

#

we are not publishing dev-builds to Steam, but it's all setup as a manifest file where you can specify targets and all that

#

still needs a lot more work to generalize it but slowly getting there

#

dev-build is started by pushing to a specified branch, uploaded over FTP to our server, so it's like instant no fuss dev-builds, will also be doing releases through it

I am not sure why we are talking about that in this channel though 😛

kju feel free to steal our CI scripts on github... there is some useful stuff in there like shutting down and restarting steam as specific users so you can publish to workshops

if you use github

I had to reinstall the A3 Tools, but I cannot change the path of my P drive

#

Even though I changed it within the A3 Tools program, when mounting the drive, it automatically mounts the standard folder

okay, it worked after reinstalling

Hello, is anyone present?

https://www.reddit.com/r/arma/comments/576zpf/i_cant_join_any_arma_3_servers_help/

rich yoke Oct 12, 2016, 10:48 PM

#

That mod is broken, or you are missing a file

slow granite Oct 12, 2016, 10:49 PM

#

But I have verified all my mods via a3 launcher

#

and the game via steam

rich yoke Oct 12, 2016, 10:53 PM

#

Then you are probably missing a mod. Are you using the Arma 3 Launcher from steam, or the 3rd party program A3Launcher? That error is essentially saying that the mod fza_mig23mld requires the mod fza_su17

slow granite Oct 12, 2016, 10:54 PM

#

3rd party

rich yoke Oct 12, 2016, 10:59 PM

#

You also say I cant join any arma 3 servers but then I keep getting the same error message when I launch the server, are you just joining servers or are you hosting a server?

slow granite Oct 12, 2016, 10:59 PM

#

joining

rich yoke Oct 12, 2016, 10:59 PM

#

That's not a standard Exile mod, so it's probably run by a limited number of servers, and your best bet is to ask them if that error is normal

slow granite Oct 12, 2016, 11:02 PM

#

but im not running any mig23 mod

#

that is the weirdest part

rich yoke Oct 12, 2016, 11:03 PM

#

Does the server you are trying to join have any "custom" mods? They might have just thrown that PBO into their "custom" folder

slow granite Oct 12, 2016, 11:04 PM

#

it has just exile

#

or that is just what it says

#

nvm

#

that error message that i mentioned, it comes when i launch arma 3

#

from steam

rich yoke Oct 12, 2016, 11:09 PM

#

The last time you launched Arma from steam you were probably running that mod, so its "saved" your last used mods

slow granite Oct 12, 2016, 11:10 PM

#

now i tried to launch without mods, and i can launch the game but the same error message pops up

rich yoke Oct 12, 2016, 11:10 PM

#

Just hit ok, and when you get to the main menu try to disable those mods from a menu on the bottom left

slow granite Oct 12, 2016, 11:11 PM

#

but there is nothing to disable

#

i launched without mods

#

the problem is with the game, not the mods

rich yoke Oct 12, 2016, 11:20 PM

#

Your game is somehow launching with a mod, because that's certainly not a file in vanilla A3

slow granite Oct 13, 2016, 12:50 AM

#

Fixed it

#

went to my arma 3 directory

#

deleted the addons file

#

verified integrity of game cache via steam

#

waited for the 10g to download

#

voila, works

cobalt ginkgo Oct 13, 2016, 12:52 AM

#

let me guess you placed a mod inside arma3\addons directory

slow granite Oct 13, 2016, 12:52 AM

#

nope

cobalt ginkgo Oct 13, 2016, 12:52 AM

#

deleted the addons file

#

from where

slow granite Oct 13, 2016, 12:53 AM

#

the steamapps/common/arma 3

#

addons file

cobalt ginkgo Oct 13, 2016, 12:53 AM

#

addons directory?

slow granite Oct 13, 2016, 12:53 AM

#

yea

#

deleted the whole thing

cobalt ginkgo Oct 13, 2016, 12:54 AM

#

okay I guess its fine then good luck

reef swallow Oct 13, 2016, 1:59 AM

#

I hear there is a way i can get my char restored that got delted. Any information on how or what i need to submit?

cobalt ginkgo Oct 13, 2016, 3:43 AM

#

Character restored?

#

If you mean your profile in Arma3 then no, its not saved in the cloud or anything, so if you deleted it, its gone. But its quite easy to make another one. If you mean mods I have no idea.

dry mortar Oct 13, 2016, 9:54 AM

#

Arma 3 profile is stored in \Users\username\Documents folder, so turning on "File History" (it's in Win8 and 10, dunno about previous ones) which periodically, automatically backups the users personal folder, and other selected directories. It even keeps previous versions of the same files if they changes, hence the "history" in name, so you can go back not only to the last versions, but also restore much older versions. Though this feature needs to be manally enabled and needs a separate phycisal drive, so it won't help if the files are already lost

reef swallow Oct 14, 2016, 12:32 AM

#

thanks for the information. cheers!

cinder pewter Oct 15, 2016, 9:35 AM

is it just me or does anyone else NOT get the 3 fps bug with the default system allocator set as memalloc?

#

i.e not the default arma one, but the system one

#

i get a hefty average performance loss, but i didn't get either 3 fps or DXGI errors

fringe salmon Oct 15, 2016, 1:15 PM

#

It haven't had the 3fps issue at all and I am not changing the allocator. Its a common problem but its by no means everyone.

i want to know about the people that experience the bug

I've started encountering a weird issue. I'm running a dedicated server on the same machine as my client, and when I try connecting, I'm not allowed to type in chat nor use ACRE (I can hear nobody, everybody can hear me)

#

I know I'm running 41 mods, but I need something to try

desert isle Oct 15, 2016, 6:49 PM

#

Try with no mods and see if that fixes things 😉

lyric shard Oct 15, 2016, 6:52 PM

#

It goes away, but this same mod set worked the last time I tried it, and now I'm stuck with this weird issue

desert isle Oct 15, 2016, 7:00 PM

#

The simplest answer is theres an issue with ONE mod. To find it amongst 41 is another story.

cobalt ginkgo Oct 15, 2016, 8:18 PM

I'm running a dedicated server on the same machine as my client, and when I try connecting, I'm not allowed to type in chat nor use ACRE (I can hear nobody, everybody can hear me)

#

And it seems to be a weird intermittent problem, I'll have to investiate it myself. Could always be a weird pipe error to TS

fringe grove Oct 16, 2016, 6:54 PM

#

anybody know why some people get kicked for "Wrong signature for file C:/path/to/some/file/that/exists/and/is/up/to/date/with/server.pbo"

#

or.ebo or .pbo.bisign

#

Mods are updated from steam and server mods are updated from steam.

#

Other people with the same mdos from the same source have no issues

#

@tiny imp do you know anyone who might have an answer?

cobalt ginkgo Oct 16, 2016, 6:58 PM

#

it usually mean the pbo in question has been modified and tampered with, so the bisign signature triggers the 'protection system' and kicks the offending client

fringe grove Oct 16, 2016, 6:58 PM

#

how do i unmodify it. i've done fresh reinstalls of the mods on both my client and the server

cobalt ginkgo Oct 16, 2016, 6:59 PM

#

but might happen due to network curruption probably or timeouts...

fringe grove Oct 16, 2016, 6:59 PM

#

also getting the error from a default arma expansion

cobalt ginkgo Oct 16, 2016, 7:00 PM

#

you cant 'unmodify it' you can do a verification of the game cache and it will check for the addons too

fringe grove Oct 16, 2016, 7:00 PM

#

damn comcast...

#

i've done the verify before. I end up in a loop of re-verifying the game, redownloading files each time

cobalt ginkgo Oct 16, 2016, 7:01 PM

#

is it always the same file or same mod even?

fringe grove Oct 16, 2016, 7:01 PM

#

i don't know which files its re acquiring

#

also if this helps, this is on a fresh install of windows 10

cobalt ginkgo Oct 16, 2016, 7:02 PM

#

when you get kicked you get a mesage about the file in question and also there is entry in client and server rpt log

fringe grove Oct 16, 2016, 7:03 PM

#

yes. it's usually a different file each time. some times it will be the same file

#

it seems random

cobalt ginkgo Oct 16, 2016, 7:04 PM

#

I would check the network quality and do a quick pc troubleshooting might be a failing drive or ram stick causing it too, so the data is incosistent

#

malware even

fringe grove Oct 16, 2016, 7:05 PM

#

D:\Programs\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\expansion\addons\missions_f_exp_video.ebo

Wrong signature for file D:\Programs\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3!Workshop@CUP Terrains - Core\addons\cup_terrains_ca_air_e_dummy.pbo

#

those are the most recent errors

cobalt ginkgo Oct 16, 2016, 7:06 PM

#

well it does seem random

fringe grove Oct 16, 2016, 7:06 PM

#

yep

#

before that it was AliVE

cobalt ginkgo Oct 16, 2016, 7:06 PM

#

try a pingtest for line quality and post the link

#

pingtest.net < requires Java so wont work from Chrome

#

if you know the server IP you can also do a tracert to it from CMD > tracert -d nn.nn.nn.nn.nnn

fringe grove Oct 16, 2016, 7:08 PM

#

i'll install firefox real quick

fringe salmon Oct 16, 2016, 7:08 PM

#

You could just tracert or ping www.google.com -t

fringe grove Oct 16, 2016, 7:09 PM

okay

i don't let my computer configure much in terms of networking except IPs

cobalt ginkgo Oct 16, 2016, 7:16 PM

me neither its just that this CM is all locked up and I cant do shit on it, not even telnet to change DNS so I just do it on the adapter

fringe salmon Oct 16, 2016, 7:16 PM

#

oouch

#

yeah i don't really use devices unless i have administrator access

#

it's just the principle of 'i'm qualified enough to use this leave me alone'

cobalt ginkgo Oct 16, 2016, 7:18 PM

#

well I could use my own but would have to pay to the ISP to configure it an alow acess to CMTS, so I rather stick with what I have and do routing on my own

#

plus they are not cheap either ( Cisco EuroDocsis 3 CM's are pricy )

fringe salmon Oct 16, 2016, 7:20 PM

i tried to let my family rennovate their network but they insist on using ISP provided hardware because "that's the only thing that will work"

but NOOOO that won't work?
it's only what i do for a living so what the fuck do i know?

cobalt ginkgo Oct 16, 2016, 7:22 PM

meh just let it be... and people stick to it because its a no brainer and requires zero of their own interevention plus ISP provides support in case of problem, now with your own device that wont be the case.... and we should move this to OFT we spammed it a bit

yeah uh.. try to ipconfig/flushdns and the ipconfig/renew ( will diconect you for a brief from the net ) and then try the tracert again or just reboot

as I suspected its a shitty ISP with shitty DNS server as usual ( most ISP's have crap DNS servers, mine included )

best advice I can give you is to change ISP and investigate before you do, in case youre stuck with comcast...

Always start with the physical layer 😉

even so the tech support is sometimes full of poo with that esp on someone who knows what hes is speaking of

#

I call my ISP to tell them their DNS is crap and the chick on the other side is literally tying to convince me its my PC... argh

Most of them read from prompt cards anyway.

cobalt ginkgo Oct 16, 2016, 7:55 PM

#

yeah I know that makes me angry abou it, I know whats the problem and she even if doing her job sucks at it, because she doesnt understand or is IT illiterate and onlly knows how to guide you to reset your adapter, check cables adn reboot the PC, and if that fails she submits L2 request which needs to be waited for, but solves the problem in most cases, since they know their jobs... oh well

i'll brb

but im still interested in some assistance

#

aaaaaand im back

#

im re validating right now

cobalt ginkgo Oct 16, 2016, 8:01 PM

#

1 ) test memory with > http://www.memtest86.com/ prefferably from DOS
2 ) scan drives for erros with chdsk /f on all drives ( do not force dismount but reboot and leave it finish and see if there are any errors/repairs needed
3 ) optimize drives / defrag / TRIM in case of SSD
4 ) Download MBAM install do not start trial, update the database, disable AV shield and let it scan, after its done if anything found let it kill it and reboot

#

thats the HW part of tests and malware scan

#

which AV do you have?

#

add games to exception list to be on the safe side so it doesnt scan those files at all

fringe grove Oct 16, 2016, 8:04 PM

#

AV - windows defender. i scan with malwarebytes regularly.

#

i just did a memtest about 3days ago *(when i reinstalled windows 10)

cobalt ginkgo Oct 16, 2016, 8:05 PM

#

ouch I dont know defender caused a lot of issues with all kinds of software with me so I dont use it at all, always have it disabled, doesnt has to mean its the issue but worrth a shot to disable it and try again

fringe grove Oct 16, 2016, 8:06 PM

I'll check drives

@cobalt ginkgo @fringe salmon Any other ideas you can offer?

Just try all the different variables

fringe grove Oct 16, 2016, 11:12 PM

#

okay so i have to reaquire 4 to 7 GB of datat on each verify

strange drift Oct 17, 2016, 3:28 AM

#

something seems wrong with either your connection, or your router (maybe got infected?), or your cable, or network devices or your pc (faulty ram, hdd, etc)

#

you could try at a friends house/your office to see if its your computer or the network side

fringe grove Oct 17, 2016, 6:36 AM

#

@strange drift memtest was clean and i changed to a new cable today ran AV/malwarebytes scan, and checked/defragmented/trimmed all drives. no issues. still can't figure it out. still reaquiring 3+ GB of data after verify each time (back to back).

#

i'll check my router

strange drift Oct 17, 2016, 6:49 AM

you can try to send BI support your logs and see if they can see something

I saw that you use Windows Defender, but by any chance do you have MacAfee ANYWHERE on your system? Even one of those free trial versions that you have yet to wipe from your PC?

@tiny imp any idea why the @ tags dont (seem to) work at times in this discord?

desert isle Oct 17, 2016, 8:18 AM

I've noticed that too. I wonder if it has to do with whether a user is online or not?

the dll and exe are different versions.

nevermind.. thank you

fringe grove Oct 18, 2016, 1:19 AM

#

i have googled this to death

cobalt ginkgo Oct 18, 2016, 5:36 AM

#

@fringe grove I am very sorry you have such issue its really hard to determine whats the real problem there, and the primary suspect is the network corruption.

#

Try to verify integrity and then start Arma3 with the following parameter -checkSignatures

#

it will run a test comparing bisign to its pbo and if it finds any to be corrupt it will write it to a RPT log file

#

to access it hold Win+R > type %localappdata% > hit Enter

#

find and open Arma3 folder and see for the RPT file with the latest timestamp in the file name, upload it somewhere and link it here so w cna see the results

#

do not run any mods just the base game

ye i would expect some corruption on write or read

#

overlock, faulty memory, cpu, i/o (check HDD S.M.A.R.T. status)

cobalt ginkgo Oct 18, 2016, 9:28 PM

#

HDD or network but if you have different fails in different test runs then its either RAM or HDD
sine you checked RAM and did only chkdsk /f that would require serious testing for drive failures I guess

#

try this.

#

move arma3 to SSD if you have room

#

and try again

fringe grove Oct 18, 2016, 9:29 PM

#

ill try to make some space

cobalt ginkgo Oct 18, 2016, 9:33 PM

#

@tiny imp he checked pretty much everyhing and we even changed DNS to google one, his latency was bad, he checked RAM, did chkdsk/f no errors, verifies game data and each time reaquire about 4GB, and each time fails to connect to server due to signature check failure, turns out data gets corrupted somehow, but if its not RAM, its just dying drive then I guess. Moving to another drive and testing seems legit at this point. If that fails again then feck it, I really dont have anymore clues.

#

not a bad idea to check steam logs either, but for that a ticket to feedback is more plausible with all relevnt data

fringe grove Oct 18, 2016, 9:35 PM

#

yeah i start one up if the disk change doesnt fix it. I really appreciate the help

tiny imp Oct 18, 2016, 9:38 PM

#

issue with sata controller (mainboard) could be culprit too but in that case i bet way more files are corrupted en random

cobalt ginkgo Oct 18, 2016, 9:44 PM

#

yep but less likely to be the issue here, I dont quite see much dead sata ICU's

#

not saying it shouldnt be investigated, bad drivers can ef things up too or wrong bios setting AHCI/IDE mode but that would crash the system..

tiny imp Oct 18, 2016, 9:54 PM

#

well drivers, antivirus/security suite gone crazy (especially those 'filters' hooking I/O) or totally wrong settings in bios can be another case

#

also one can't ignore risk of malware (some ransomware randomly corrupting/encrypting files)

#

or steam client or data-mirror (change them in download settings of steamclient) issues 😉 ... i suggest try download/verify via STEAMcmd

cobalt ginkgo Oct 18, 2016, 9:58 PM

#

he said he is using nothing but Windows defender and runs Malwarebytes on regular basis, did check recently, so its not that unless... Defender... that crap made a lot of problems to me but I think he said he tried to turn it off and pretty much same results, now steam client I dont know about that.. sometimes it goes derp on me too but I dont know to troubleshoot that lots
my bet is drive failing or defender, well see with the SSD

#

oh and since he is on comcast and had terrible latencies that can come back even if using google DNS, so that is an option too

tiny imp Oct 18, 2016, 10:06 PM

#

he can try switch mirrors from which steam clientdownloads the files (settings > downloads > download region) in past i seen corrupt mirrors more than once

cobalt ginkgo Oct 18, 2016, 10:09 PM

#

i havent tried to move arma yet. i'll switch mirrors first

Someone in my group had a similar issue of getting kicked for invalid signatures. He would still get kicked after people sent him their copies of the same PBO and bisigns he was getting kicked for. He could join the server fine if it was completely empty, but if there was just one person already in the server he would end up getting kicked for invalid signatures. He tried running as admin, disabling firewall, disabling antivirus, moving the PBOs out of the steam directory, and a few other things.

In the end he bought a new router and the problem magically went away. Not suggesting you buy a new router, but something to think about.

small fox Oct 18, 2016, 11:02 PM

#

wtf. Now that's what you call getting arma'd. Solution to game problems was a new router? WTF? I would have never thought of that 😂

tiny imp Oct 18, 2016, 11:06 PM

#

@rich yoke his problem is local, arma3.exe -checksignatures is w/o any internet access (load pbo files and check if they match the signatures in same folder)

rich yoke Oct 18, 2016, 11:07 PM

FUH!!!!! Not enough space on my ssd for arma

#

@tiny imp

#

would underpowered PSU cause any of these issues?

#

nvm i have plenty of power... did some checking

cobalt ginkgo Oct 19, 2016, 5:39 AM

#

do you have some weird issues in other games you play or its just arma3?

#

that could be indicator of a global problem with your PC.

#

if not I still suspect that either drive is failing or the network causes corruption.

#

SMART reporting all good might be misleading, so you will need to do some more serious testing on it.

#

http://www.hdtune.com/

#

get a trial version and scan the drive arma3 is installed on

#

also check for loose cables on the drive / sata / molex ( power ) try to replace sata cable, connect drive to different sata port

#

as for the networking part, thats hard to pull out but you will need some other type of internet conection to test this and make sure its not your router at fault. Either that or move PC to a friends place and try to connect from there and revalidate and try to join server. Or do a signature check.

#

about the PSU you asked. PSU might have 1200 Watts label on it, but if its failing on either power line it can cause all sorts of issues. If you suspect please borrow PSU and try to test.

fringe grove Oct 20, 2016, 6:25 AM

@tiny imp @Jastreb#8971 Fixed my issues. CPU was failing, reduced voltage and core clock and now arma DL is fine and Keyed servers are fine. Thanks for the help once again
