Are you saying that you want to play in 1920x1080 at 16:9?

fringe salmon Dec 4, 2016, 5:16 PM

#

yes, i played that for long time

#

since latest patch

#

-create new profile, and see how it behaves
-just remove fov lines from actual profile
-start game while my desktop is 19201080 (right now its 1024768)

EDIT: Tested:
-creating new profile just automatically places same FOV values, bad values!
-by just removing FOV lines from actual profile they get renewed when starting game and are not good, bad values!
-when starting game with my desktop on 1920*1080 this issue dosent happen and values stay, good values!¨

This is not good, every time now i want to play arma i must set desktop to 19201080.Wish there are option in cfg what ratio i want to use. (16:9)
This way it probably sets game as 4:3 19201080 lol

allready did

#

In one of the recent Dev-Branch updates, we've removed the possibility to set the aspect ratio of the User Interface of the game. Senior Designer Bořivoj Hlava explains some motivations behind this decision: "The 'Aspect Ratio' setting helped users to run the game on non-standard resolution monitors in the past. These days, however, there is no need for this setting and it can even be misleading for some people. In fact, our Analytics data show that more than 10 % of our players have their aspect ratio set incorrectly which can significantly impact their experience of the game. Therefore, we decided to make things easier to understand by implementing a fully automatic aspect ratio detectioninto the game."

fallow remnant Dec 5, 2016, 12:24 AM

#

vsync is definitely a place to start, but that AMD CPU is likely the biggest problem you have

#

That said, Arma isn't a game you'll get really high frame rates

#

So if, with object view distance set to 2000m and overall view distance set to 8000m

#

And object quality set to high

#

And the rest on very high or higher quality

#

You get 30-60 fps

#

then it's good

you mean you can't chat in Arma 3? there are multiple channels in arma.

Direct - Can be heard by people nearby

Group - People in your fireteam or squad

Side - Everybody on your side (Blufor, Opfor)

Command - Same as side but usually used by commanders

Global - Everybody in the game can hear

default keys for chatting are "," "." to switch channels, "-" to type and "caps lock" to talk through your mic

fallow remnant Dec 6, 2016, 10:12 PM

#

@versed niche yeah default multiplayer view distance is 1600m, so object view distance gets stuck on that.
It's possible that some servers are forcing 1280

versed niche Dec 6, 2016, 10:13 PM

#

The server in question ius our clan server, and it forces the object distance to 1600. But even then, it shouldn't end up in my settings, it should be temporary as long as I play on the server ?

fallow remnant Dec 6, 2016, 10:27 PM

while that would be logical, it is not true with Arma 😃

#

It's a client side thing so it affects your settings

That said there was something in a recent patch about that not being an issue anymore

Or maybe that was just dev branch

Got this when I Voice connect, any ideas?: Discord is connected to your voice server on vip-amsterdam3 with an average ping of 142ms. The last ping was 145ms.
If the ping is not consistent or more than 250ms, consider asking the server owner to switch to another region.

We as a clan with own servers have some troubles with the 1.66 update. Some of our player have hard FPS drops to 2 - 3 FPS and for everyone the scope zoom don't work very well. Have to click it like 8 times until it zooms in. Furthermore it dont works in Vehicle Turrets like the Cheetah, etc. Just wanted to inform.

neat mica Dec 7, 2016, 11:10 AM

#

the 2-3 FPS issue isn't new to 1.66, it's been happening from at least the 1.58 update for some people

#

and probably dates back much further, it's just become much more common in recent versions

coral cargo Dec 7, 2016, 11:13 AM

#

check thats true but now it is for more players than a few from 1.58

neat mica Dec 7, 2016, 11:24 AM

#

right, but it means that the root cause wasn't introduce in any recent version, that's a red herring that Bohemia could waste weeks investigating. I'm willing to bet that the bug may even date back to the release, but that seemingly unrelated changes in newer releases are finally triggering it

coral cargo Dec 7, 2016, 11:29 AM

#

that could be right.

I had the bug for a few days about a year ago on the dev branch, but never since then.

the main problem for us is, nearly no one had it before 1.66 and now nearly all of us have it like 5 times per 2 hrs. Some others game is crashing for no reason with no log file created. and so on.

neat mica Dec 7, 2016, 11:51 AM

#

@slow abyss That's probably why Bohemia are having such a hard time finding the cause, because they are looking for a regression in a recent change, when the cause has been there much longer

coral cargo Dec 7, 2016, 11:53 AM

#

i know how much work that will be to figure that out, what is responsible for that. @neat mica im with you with your opinion about that its an older bug, what was triggered now by a little change

#

i hope the hotfix will fix at least the zooming bug and the audio bugs. (engine of a shot tank is still running, you hear unmanned helicopters on the ground)

#

(heli bug is older)

neat mica Dec 7, 2016, 12:01 PM

ghost tank? 😄

slow abyss Dec 7, 2016, 12:04 PM

#

Someone should try playing without sound.

neat mica Dec 7, 2016, 12:06 PM

#

I will say that when it's happened to me, a lot of the time it's just after nearby explosions, especially something like an cluster bomb/artillery shell has impacted on top of a town

#

the FPS takes a dive normally at that point anyway due to the particles, but it then doesn't recover

coral cargo Dec 7, 2016, 12:07 PM

#

Yeah blown tanks.

#

Its away when we salvage them on our server.

#

Und helicopter keep rotating until you look at themü

#

It is reported

#

Tanks is since 1.66 made one ticket directly as i have discovered it.

neat mica Dec 7, 2016, 12:09 PM

#

doesn't happen enough for me that I can definitively say that there's a link, but thinking back explosions were definitely occurring around the time it happened at least on some of the occasions I can recall

#

(the fps bug)

#

and since explosions, especially in towns will create lots of echo, I can see that there might be a link to the audio changes there

#

though I can also think of at least a couple of times when it happened and I was kms from any action, running in open countryside

#

I'll keep an echo related cause in mind when it next happens, see if I can find a correlation

slow abyss Dec 7, 2016, 12:15 PM

#

yeah, but you recover from it

neat mica Dec 7, 2016, 12:16 PM

#

always thought that was just down to the ballistics calculations, huge rate of fire, rounds travelling a large distance and also tracers to render

slow abyss Dec 7, 2016, 12:16 PM

#

i wonder what happens if you fire the minigun with -nosound

neat mica Dec 7, 2016, 12:17 PM

#

minigun doesn't really generate a lot of echo, less so than autocannons and GMG, pretty much anything with explosive rounds

#

@slow abyss Does -nosound actually disable all the audio calculations, or does it just disable audio output?

slow abyss Dec 7, 2016, 12:18 PM

#

yeah

#

i mean, it disables the sound processing

coral cargo Dec 7, 2016, 12:19 PM

i agree to explosions. last bug was when i was shot in a helicopter. the bugs of the other guys was in some towns with mines eg pyrgos

#

maybe soweone can test is. im not at home otherwise i would start the dev branch on my own

neat mica Dec 7, 2016, 12:21 PM

#

if you can reliably reproduce the issue, definitely worth testing. If it's not reliable, then the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence 😉

coral cargo Dec 7, 2016, 12:21 PM

#

its is reproduceable

#

i try it today

#

and i will report to you guys

#

but thanks for the idea with the sound

#

but i think its unreasonable to play arma without sound 😉

slow abyss Dec 7, 2016, 12:24 PM

#

There was a funny sound bug some time ago. If you played with -nosound, the AI didn't obey your orders. :)
I guess they didn't hear the team leader.

fallow remnant Dec 7, 2016, 3:44 PM

#

i wasn't aware, as that wasn't the offical line. how was it being abused?

tiny imp Dec 7, 2016, 3:48 PM

#

the official line was that according to big data stats the aspect ratio was often used incorrectly

#

unfortunately the problem is that removing it all together left some 'edge cases' of nonstandard usage in void

neat mica Dec 7, 2016, 4:20 PM

#

as an example from the thread in the forum, there was someone with a 1920x1080 screen (16:9) who ran at that resolution but forcing the aspect ratio to 4:3 and then compensated by increasing the FOV because they had somehow discovered that it gave a higher FPS

#

and if that's not exactly the sort of scenario described by the classic XKCD comic strip then I really don't know what is

#

let me just re-post that for anyone who doesn't want to scroll back - https://xkcd.com/1172/

#

There were others using multi-monitor setups who, as best I can tell from the rants, were using the aspect ratio setting to alter positioning of parts of the hud. Which again, isn't what it was meant for, it just could be misused to achieve what they wanted.

@tiny imp I hope you guys come to some kind of solution to that problem and i really hope it comes to hotfix and not being pushed to next update.I know you guys going to holidays soon so it would be good if this problem gets resolved so we can play normally. Lot of people have this same problem, but they are lazy to post this at forums or make ticket about this.If need more information about this i will be happy to provide.Thanks in advance

I have 1.66 + hotfix, playing a workshop thing 'Dynamic Recon Ops', I cannot freelook while driving any vehicle. Also when vehicle gunner, I cannot move gunsight around. Tried default keys, and remapping, nothing works

#

I'm supposed to be able to look around when I drive a vehicle, right?

#

I have also tried vehicles in VR Arsenal, same problem, no freelook or ability to look around of any kind

It's been so long since I drove anything I forget if freelook is even possible while driving

If I play with no mods enabled, plain vanilla, VR Arsenal, same problem

Vauum does it work from the editor, ie place a unit and name it A1 then place a zeus game module and set owner as A1 and alter the drop down to use all mods then run it from the editor, you should be just you spawned and press Y and see if you get zues access

Yes.

It works fine with testing on my dedi. JIPing, trying the #adminLogged and UUID, and also the main zeus.

Did you build the life server from scratch? Also do you run every single program in Administrator manually?

its a vanilla server i downloaded

quaint flume Dec 12, 2016, 10:02 AM

#

if it's vanilla that narrows it a little 😏

#

My personal suggestion would be validate files, ensure all your virus software etc is not running including any firewalls (if people even use these anymore). I also get the best experience when I custom add my windows username to the file properties list of permissions (don't change permissions on fat files) Also you could try putting it online.

#

I haven't ran a life server per say but these things will make sure it is not Your computer but maybe something else we are missing 😁

Arma has done that for me in the past. But it almost seems like a regular thing because I'm used to it, it's just another routine of quickly fixing and going back to play. It is inconvenient :(
restarting game always good.

Making sure you got dank admin priveleges so that arma actually has access to files like your pad while in Fullscreen.

snow turret Dec 13, 2016, 11:12 PM

#

I run Razor Synapse have not noticed any problems, Win10 x64 1607.

fringe salmon Dec 13, 2016, 11:12 PM

#

well, idk man. I exited synapse and then arma booted up

quaint flume Dec 14, 2016, 12:12 AM

#

usually that stuff is permissions related

#

arma may not be running in admin and razer overrides

#

razer programs always have issues with anything else... which doesnt make much sense

#

my room mate keeps buying razer products and i have to fix his computer every day just so he can play arma

vocal lantern Dec 14, 2016, 1:06 AM

#

meh i have a couple/few razor devices, they dont conflict with any of my others honestly. much less arma.

quaint flume Dec 14, 2016, 1:09 AM

#

when i got razer gamebooster that was a nightmare

#

i have a trouble with using "default" settings, because theyre never optimal for my system

unborn horizon Dec 14, 2016, 1:55 AM

#

So I added -nojoy to launch options and launched the mission, no luck, Unplugged the controller, still stuck at 0 degrees. Is there something in the mission that would cause this, and how would I go about fixing it? I've posted a discussion on the mission workshop page, but nobody has gotten back yet.

quasi skiff Dec 14, 2016, 3:37 PM

Hey guys, one of my community members is having issues on our server with not being able to open menus and stuff that is scripted and not default arma. It seems that things (scripts) are not loading in properly for him and VERY very slow.

#

Does anyone know what this could be

#

No of our other community members are having this problem

jaunty badger Dec 14, 2016, 3:38 PM

#

check RPT. something errors in init.sqf or something like that and all subsequent scripts fail to execute

quasi skiff Dec 14, 2016, 3:39 PM

#

No errors at all in his RPT

jaunty badger Dec 14, 2016, 3:40 PM

#

wrong : )

quasi skiff Dec 14, 2016, 3:40 PM

#

and let me make clear that there is no problem for anyone else but him

jaunty badger Dec 14, 2016, 3:41 PM

#

Is he having a slow machine?

#

are not loading in properly for him and VERY very slow.
sounds like scheduled scripting breaking down due to too little execution time

#

everything seems fine, but if you get over those 3ms all goes to shit if poorly scripted

#

or maybe he has html tags in his name and some interface is converting the string from the name command to structured text causing script errors subseuently

#

hundrets of possibilities

quasi skiff Dec 14, 2016, 3:48 PM

#

He has a great rig

#

I would assume its scheduled scripting aswell, but the thing is, it works fine for absolutely everyone else

#

No one has ever come near this problem

jaunty badger Dec 14, 2016, 3:48 PM

#

No one has ever come near this problem
doesn't mean anything

#

And even a great rig can have poor performance. just need the right graphic settings

#

impossible to tell though. no logs and we don't even now what "scripts"

jaunty badger Dec 14, 2016, 3:55 PM

#

and there are tons more, probably resulting from those

#

life_maxweight is undefined for them

#

no idea where that comes from

quasi skiff Dec 14, 2016, 3:59 PM

#

I think the reason that is undefined is because its not loading the variable set

#

Because I have a file that loads on init

#

To make all variables false

jaunty badger Dec 14, 2016, 3:59 PM

#

race condition?

quasi skiff Dec 14, 2016, 3:59 PM

#

Race Condition?

jaunty badger Dec 14, 2016, 4:00 PM

#

this script executes before your ~~table~~ variable-set loading one

#

making the globals undefined

quasi skiff Dec 14, 2016, 4:04 PM

#

This is what loads

#

[3, "Configuration Script Loaded"] remoteExec ["FROG_fnc_logIt",2];
[] call compile PreprocessFileLineNumbers "core\configuration.sqf";

#

Top of the client init

#

Thats the varaible setting to false

jaunty badger Dec 14, 2016, 4:05 PM

#

the variable IS undefined

#

what does core\configuration.sqf look like?

#

what do you mean by "client init" ?

quasi skiff Dec 14, 2016, 4:10 PM

#

its the init that runs when a client joins

#

not the server startup init

jaunty badger Dec 14, 2016, 4:10 PM

#

init.sqf

#

initLocalPlayer.sqf

#

preInit

#

postInit

#

all those are different

quasi skiff Dec 14, 2016, 4:18 PM

#

I know

#

But its life

#

I have normal server init and client init, then initplayerlocal and initplayerserver

#

but InitPLayerLocal is my init

#

That is what configuration.sqf call is in

#

The preProcess

jaunty badger Dec 14, 2016, 4:20 PM

#

so by "client init" you mean initPlayerLocal.sqf ?

#

"preProcess" does not mean what you think it does

#

you can preprocess files at any point in the mission

#

or in the main menu

#

or at game start

#

i'm now very certain that you're encountering a race condition

#

depending on what core\configuration.sqf does and looks like this can be solved easily or not so easily

quasi skiff Dec 14, 2016, 4:30 PM

#

So first, could this be causing it? This is in mission init while { true } do { 0 setfog 0; uiSleep 120; };

#

http://hastebin.com/uqiyaxoqug.cpp

#

This is the config

jaunty badger Dec 14, 2016, 4:33 PM

#

why is an SQF file using the .cpp extension?

#

mission init

#

again, there is no such thing as "mission init"

#

imprecise wording

#

computers don't forgive errors that can result from those

#

but yes, if you use a while-true loop and never leave the do-scope, the code below it will never be reached

#

there is no reason for uiSleep either, since life doesn't even work in SP and there is no pausing in the esc menu

#

might as well write sleep for clarity

quasi skiff Dec 14, 2016, 4:44 PM

#

is doing 0 setfog 0;

#

in eachFrame better?

jaunty badger Dec 14, 2016, 4:45 PM

#

? define "better"

quasi skiff Dec 14, 2016, 4:48 PM

#

Will it lag?

#

If I do 0 setFog 0 in eachframe?

#

Also the hpp file is macros

#

default al framework

#

And the .cpp extension is just how hastebin do things

jaunty badger Dec 14, 2016, 4:51 PM

#

Ok. first of all, it will not lag anything, because it's simply not enough expression to do that.
But there is zero reason to do that though.
That .cpp file is not using macros, it's SQF defining some globals mainly

#

"default al framework" ?

#

if this is all the default framework, then you shouldn't do things like adding random while true loops

#

but that does not explain why this would happen one machine

#

fix your race condition to remove those errors from the RPT

#

and when all errors are gone, everything will work fine

quasi skiff Dec 14, 2016, 4:54 PM

#

The variables are set in an SQF file yes.

#

Its just hastebin who adds the .cpp extension

#

What I meant is the scripting macros included in the .sqf file is default al framework

#

Also

#

Now he says, the longer he stays on the server, the longer stuff takes.

#

When he just has connected most stuff is just instant

jaunty badger Dec 14, 2016, 4:55 PM

#

because his RPT is filling up with errors

#

the bigger the file, the longer the game takes to write to the HDD

quasi skiff Dec 14, 2016, 4:55 PM

#

Ah ok I see

#

So

#

So that is the problems?

jaunty badger Dec 14, 2016, 4:56 PM

#

If it really is caused by that infinite loop, then I have no idea why it would happen on only one machine

#

a race condition could or could not be come into play depending on unpredictable circumstances

quasi skiff Dec 14, 2016, 4:57 PM

#

Ah ok

#

So

#

Why would it happen to only one machine, my initiation is just fine and everyone elses too except for his

jaunty badger Dec 14, 2016, 5:14 PM

#

yeah. and when the script encounters an undefined variable, it will print an error and stop executing

#

you have to fix those race conditions

#

all script errors must be gone, otherwise NOTHING is guaranteed to work

#

start at the top. most of the time the subsequent errors are results of the former ones

#

No idea how the life framework works, but you should follow the rules it establishes. I have enough confidence in it's creators that they know how to avoid race conditions

There is no afgan campaign in Arma 3 and neither are Royal Marines.

It seems like everytime there's an update I get another Circular Addon Dependency Error. I've been using this setup for my addon framework for some time now, and now the game doesn't work with it.

#

here's the rpt that it tells me to check: http://pastebin.com/LawdYPdU

rich yoke Dec 15, 2016, 4:43 AM

It'd be helpful if you could show the CfgPatches for your addon

cosmic eagle Dec 15, 2016, 4:44 AM

k

#

class CfgPatches
{
    class High_Rise
    {
        requiredAddons[] = {};

        units[] = {};
        weapons[] = {};
    };
};

rich yoke Dec 15, 2016, 4:45 AM

#

Also unpack the PBOs and check the requiredAddons, pboProject might be inserting it on its own

cosmic eagle Dec 15, 2016, 4:47 AM

#

So pboProject automatically put down my high_rise addon as a required addon in the unpacked config.cpp of my map

rich yoke Dec 15, 2016, 4:48 AM

#

It would make sense for the map to require the building

#

As you can't play on the map without the building. So now the question is if High_Rise is requiring the map

cosmic eagle Dec 15, 2016, 4:49 AM

#

damn pboProject placed the map as a requirement for the high rise, why would that be?

rich yoke Dec 15, 2016, 4:50 AM

#

Something within the High_Rise is pointing to something in the map, for example a texture, model

cosmic eagle Dec 15, 2016, 4:50 AM

oh, I think I know what it is I loaded a grass texture from my map in the model

A guy on my community is lagging as shit when scripts are being executed. It only happens on our server but only for him. Could that be linked to that? @fringe salmon

fringe salmon Dec 18, 2016, 4:15 PM

#

When you is falling from 1000 meters, for example, if you change the view to third person, you see a lot of texture fighting to show above each other (Z-fighting) specially on the shore. This is a bug?

slow abyss Dec 18, 2016, 5:41 PM

#

@fringe salmon No, that's exactly what the z-fighting is. The depth buffer's precision is not enough to tell the two distant textures apart when there's also some objects near the camera.

fringe salmon Dec 18, 2016, 6:52 PM

#

@slow abyss nice. But this happens only when i go to 3rd person view (while falling), if i stay on 1st person view, there is no, or a lot less, Z-fight.

#

The strange is if it work perfect in 1st view (mostly no z-fight on the shore water VS terrain), why just changing to 3rd view adds a lot of z-fighting on the shore (water VS terrain fight)?

slow abyss Dec 18, 2016, 7:28 PM

#

Because in 3rd person there's an object (the player) on the foreground whose depth must be added to the z buffer. This makes the difference between ground and water ambiguous.

#

The same thing happens when you're looking at some distant building with binoculars. If you're prone and there's for example grass in your view, you'll see more z-fighting. Stand up and it may disappear.

fringe salmon Dec 18, 2016, 10:03 PM

grim oriole Dec 21, 2016, 6:31 PM

#

I'll try that and report back if possible, thanks @cobalt ginkgo

cobalt ginkgo Dec 21, 2016, 6:32 PM

#

also check mission.sqm and Addons entry

#

if yo have the cup_ibr_plants listed its wrong

#

although I dont have Isla Duala to check

#

it might have wrong reference somewhere to that

grim oriole Dec 21, 2016, 6:41 PM

#

I verified integrity of cup_terrains_core on both ends and it's ok. The weird thing is that another earlier version of that same mission, works fine. Something got added in between (I only added Zeus Modules and some RHS vehicles, nothing that might reference cup in any way) that broke the mission.

cobalt ginkgo Dec 21, 2016, 6:53 PM

#

inpect the Addons array in the mission.sqm file

#

{
    addOns[]=
    {
        "A3_Characters_F_BLUFOR",
        "a3_characters_f",
        "A3_Modules_F_Curator_Curator",
        "A3_Modules_F",
        "aia_takistan_config"
    };
    addOnsAuto[]=
    {
        "A3_Characters_F_BLUFOR",
        "a3_characters_f",
        "A3_Modules_F_Curator_Curator",
        "A3_Modules_F",
        "aia_takistan_config"
    };```

#

{
    addOns[]=
    {
        "aia_takistan_config"
    };
    addOnsAuto[]=
    {
        "aia_takistan_config"
    };```

#

one on top of the file and one on bottom

#

if you have cup_ibr_plants there replace with cup_terrains_ibr_plants

#

maybe a problem with Isla Duala, check if it has a pbo going by that name

grim oriole Dec 21, 2016, 6:59 PM

#

I'll check thanks

grim oriole Dec 21, 2016, 7:17 PM

#

Both the arrays have no cup_ibr_plants or cup_terrains_ibr_plants. Isla Duala A3 has no "cup_terrains_ibr_plants.pbo". Cup_terrains_core does, but that's the way it's supposed to be.

I'm also comparing both mission.sqm's (the one that works & the one that does not) and can't find any difference appart from some strings on the addOns array that I can't relate to cup in any way. The mission itself has no cup dependencys.

cobalt ginkgo Dec 21, 2016, 7:22 PM

#

\kryp_ty\config.cpp, line 50: '/CfgVehicles/kryp_ty_ldr.faction': Missing ';' at the end of line thats a lot of broken mods

#

non related to your problem but looking at that rpt now and analyzing

#

14:55:10 Warning Message: Addon 'A3_Map_Panthera3' requires addon 'CUP_ibr_plants'```

#

seems like a problem with isla duala and panthera

#

@grim oriole

#

In case you have those two updated to latest version, then report the issue to @versed viper or at the respective forum topics

#

also why do you have filePatching enabled?

#

task force radio.. might be needed for it ok

grim oriole Dec 21, 2016, 7:29 PM

#

That was my guess too. The fact that, duala may be broken or out of date. But what puzzles me is that it worked on that other version of mine. Still I can't use that version.

I can't see where I enabled filePatching (I guess i didn't). I'm using TADST to run the servers on the machine.

I'll report on the forums. Thanks for trying @cobalt ginkgo you've been really helpful.

@tiny imp: can you confirm or deny that issues with dedicated servers not loading missions could be related to steam servers being down? (Like some API call / registration with steam failing?) We got a clan mission set to start soon and our dedi refuses to load the mission. It worked before steam went dark.

#

Or anyone else @here?

best i cant tell from everything i'm seeing posted places. there are inherent issues for many with Steam down right now. Not actually in a position to test against our own dedicaeds and whatnot though. (it wouldn't surprise me at all though, that it is directly associated)

fringe salmon Dec 24, 2016, 5:11 PM

Because if you are loading mods (properly) there is no way your mission could be loading before mods.

when I activate the dedicated everything starts fine. I can enter server and load default missions no prob. If I join the server and when my mission file is in the mpMissions folder I receive an error that says "include file Configs\filename.hpp not found"

#

do i need to adapt the new 64 or 32 bit info somewhere?

fringe salmon Dec 24, 2016, 5:28 PM

#

Search your mission for that line. The file isn't in your mission and therefore your mission won't load.

boreal yarrow Dec 24, 2016, 5:29 PM

#

its from my description.ext

#

ima refresh from start and see what happens, ive had this working before

fringe salmon Dec 24, 2016, 5:31 PM

#

Well that file doesn't exist. So it's going to crash your mission no matter what you do. Either put that file in the location (so it can be found) or delete that line

@polar condor It could be related to the memory allocator specified in the launcher advanced parameters. I've found this (which resolved it for me)

Anyone using the malloc="tbbmalloc" will likely be effected. You will need to replace this with malloc="tbb4malloc_bi"

If you do no have a memory allocator specified and are experiencing this issue, then change the blank entry to malloc="tbb4malloc_bi"

Setting RAM max to 2gb and Video Memory to 3.2gb in Launcher has stopped these issues as well.

#

You don't need to write Malloc= just type the other part without "" in the box

By the way, the current maxmem limit is 3071, so it may be a disadvantage to set it to only 2047.

tiny imp Dec 30, 2016, 7:13 AM

#

since 1.66 hotfix i suggest you remove maxmem and maxvram completely, you don't need to use them, the engine tries to allocate as much as possible

slow abyss Dec 30, 2016, 7:16 AM

Ok. But should we still use the -high parameter?

@polar condor sorry it didn't help, that video looks like the problem I had that went away after changing those 3 things even though @tiny imp rightly suggests we shouldn't use the mem limit ones I didn't want to get an hour into a liberation mission and crash out.

@tiny imp or anyone with deeper understand of issues to crashes: Me and a lot of other players like me have still FPS issues when playing on Exile servers. Drops to 2-3 FPS, sometimes mine crashes to the classic "UNABLE_TO_INIT_DXGI" . Two of our guys in our Exile team are IT techs too, and we have tried pretty much every sollution in the book. Tried out so many Nvidia drivers that my harddrive is soon full of them. IF someone are running AMD Cpu and Geforce GPU, and have a good tip outside the box, please throw it at me. 🕺 ✨ Happy New Year 💥 🍻 and still thank you to Bohemia for making a game I spent thousands of hours on allready!

if not, the exile server admin most likely fucked up

#

@wise barn Sir, I will thank you for your tip. But I am not a noob at this, and I have been on IRC talking to Dwarden and other devs in the past. It is some sort of wierd rendering issue, since it happens randomly on different PCs with different specs. Vanilla usually works fine, crashes less often.

We are having the same error wher ppl become potato textures

hope this gets fixed quick

but potato texture comes back soon xD

We are using RHS ACE addons

doesnt seem to be a computer spec problem since guys with gtx 1080 to gtx 670 are all experiencing the problem during game

Been trying to fix my game for a week now, and bohemia and battleye aren't responding to my support tickets and forums haven't been really helpful, so a friend suggested I try it here. I bought the game last week during the steam winter sale, and it hasn't worked a single time. When I launch the game, battleye gives me the error message: "1-1-2017 21:26:42 - BattlEye Service update failed. The master server is offline or unreachable. Please ensure that you are connected to the internet and BEService.exe is not blocked by a firewall." I tried litteraly everything I have found on forums, in FAQs and just random things I thought of. I tried disabling my firewall, antivirus, opening up all of the ports on my router and in my firewall and in my antivirus. I tried deleting anything that was even remotely related to arma and battleye and reinstalled it all. I tried using Tunngle, but that stupid program doesn't work. I have tried updating my killer network drivers. I tried downloading the files I needed straight from Battleye.com/download but for some reason they removed all files and now you can only download some RCON. I have no idea what to do, and I really just want to play with my friends on their server. I can see some servers, like 800. Official and non official. Battleye protected and non protected. In europe, america and russia. Direct connect doesn't work. When I direct connect from the launcher it launches the game but after a minute of loading it just stops showing progress or whatever and just displays a black screen. And when I direct connect in the game it just shows an empty server list. I really have run out of options. Please help if you might know what I can do

errant kettle Jan 1, 2017, 11:22 PM

That wasn't really that clear. I have problems connecting to certain servers because of that error.

@errant kettle, have you tried verifying the integrity of the game cache? https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335

stark condor Jan 2, 2017, 2:35 AM

#

Heyo. I recently got this game and upon starting up the tutorial I almost instantly noticed that my frame rate would drop to 0 upon pressing any button on my keyboard. After an hour or so of messing around with the settings, I figured out that disabling Battleye fixes the issue. However, disabling Battleye prevents me from playing multiplayer. Does anyone have a fix for this?

fringe hamlet Jan 2, 2017, 2:36 AM

#

@stark condor, try the above possible solution of verifying the integrity of the game cache. If that does not help then let us know.

stark condor Jan 2, 2017, 2:51 AM

#

Nope, verified it then re-enabled Battleye and it still freezes when I press anything

Does this happen without mods? If not, then it is an issue with your mod(s) and its unlikey anyone else but the mod devs can do anything about it.

Weird problem where a buddy of mine is getting a steam ticket error whenever the RHS Littlebird starts up. We confirmed this is the cause through trial and error over and over.

@rich yoke and there is no mod which can fix that issue in normal branch?

rich yoke Jan 4, 2017, 7:49 PM

Not sure really, it could be just a slight config tweak, or it could be something more complicated

vocal lantern Jan 4, 2017, 11:40 PM

#

@sage dirge there is no mod for that. they are different executables, and often have things between them that create all kinds of issues when hooked together. you can however download the tools and within them, there is a way to control multiple installs if you have the hardware for it.

fringe salmon Jan 5, 2017, 12:56 PM

gentlemen: i am having problems since the new update regadring the new key bindings for the action menu. i am used to confirm an action from the menu with mouse1. now i shoot my buddy in the back when i try to access his backpack. another option would be to use "use defalult action" bound with mouse1. the major problem here is now, that i cant shoot through doors when i am close enought or shoot bodies (sounds weird, but it shows the problem when in CQB) when they die in front of me. klicking on a falling dead enemy opens the inventory which sucks. any solution on this?

faint dawn Jan 5, 2017, 2:04 PM

Rebind keys?

fringe salmon Jan 5, 2017, 2:17 PM

to what?

neat mica Jan 5, 2017, 2:50 PM

#

the old bindings?

fringe salmon Jan 5, 2017, 2:51 PM

#

there are no old bindings anymore. there are 2 now which none of them does the same als the old layout. thats what i think at last

slow abyss Jan 5, 2017, 2:53 PM

#

I've seen many people with this problem, and I'm afraid you need to learn a new key.

sage dirge Jan 5, 2017, 2:56 PM

#

@vocal lantern I think you missunderstood me. With Mod, I mean a Mod for stable which fixes zeus...

#

not for dev to connect to stable

vocal lantern Jan 5, 2017, 2:59 PM

#

@sage dirge you are correct, i did. in an attempt to answer you more properly, i dont actually think there is a mod for that. but i also don't read everything related to ArmA, so it is possible. but i'd say unlikely, especially if it's already fixed in Dev Branch.

sage dirge Jan 5, 2017, 3:00 PM

#

#

is there a release date for the new stable version?

slow abyss Jan 5, 2017, 3:01 PM

No. Maybe next month

@fringe salmon This was introduced in 1.66?

fringe salmon Jan 5, 2017, 3:10 PM

#

i think so. it was in september

#

this seems to be it: https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/194505-use-action-differentiation/

#

i dont have a problem learning a new key. the problem is to unlearn the old one which is mouse1 = shoot

trail moss Jan 5, 2017, 3:13 PM

#

is it possible to change the colour (default white) for the 3d map marker !?

neat mica Jan 5, 2017, 3:18 PM

#

I'm on 1.64, but unless I'm mistaken the behaviour change described in that dev update isn't that the default behaviour of mouse 1 has changed, but that the behaviour of space/mouse 3 (middle mouse button) was changed

fringe salmon Jan 5, 2017, 3:19 PM

#

no behavior of the buttons changed but the binding to actions changed.

#

its not the fault of the buttons 😄

neat mica Jan 5, 2017, 3:19 PM

#

changing the left mouse button (or right, if left-handed) to mean 'select action or shoot' instead of just 'shoot' would be very strange because it would be far too easy to screw up

fringe salmon Jan 5, 2017, 3:20 PM

#

thats how it was since operation flashpoint

neat mica Jan 5, 2017, 3:20 PM

#

not for me?

fringe salmon Jan 5, 2017, 3:20 PM

#

well maybe you changed your layout

neat mica Jan 5, 2017, 3:20 PM

#

no ...

#

space for use action, mouse 1 for shoot

#

always been like that :/

fringe salmon Jan 5, 2017, 3:20 PM

#

this is not true

vocal lantern Jan 5, 2017, 3:21 PM

#

ermm... i thought space for action was/is part of the 'new' mapping set. no?

neat mica Jan 5, 2017, 3:21 PM

#

huh??

#

I don't even have the new action set ... so no?

fringe salmon Jan 5, 2017, 3:21 PM

#

we need to step back a little. it seems we have bound our keys differently.

neat mica Jan 5, 2017, 3:22 PM

#

I'm on default bindings, never ever changed from the defaults

#

weird

fringe salmon Jan 5, 2017, 3:22 PM

#

but this is not the issue here. i learned since 1998 in ofp to a2 to a3 to use mouse1 to shoot, OR when the menu is opened, to choose the marked action

neat mica Jan 5, 2017, 3:23 PM

#

oh, when menu is opened ... right, I thought we were talking about the open door or inventory icon interaction

fringe salmon Jan 5, 2017, 3:23 PM

#

now it seems the keybindings have changed. the problem i have is that i still use mouse1 to choose the option and now im firing the weapon

#

and i cant turn it back how it was

#

i dont want to shoot people in the back when accessing their backpacks

neat mica Jan 5, 2017, 3:24 PM

#

though space has always worked in those scenarios too, so I just use that whether it's select menu action or interaction

fringe salmon Jan 5, 2017, 3:24 PM

#

maybe it as mouse1 and space

#

not sure

#

i mean "or"

#

im shooting people left and right because of the change. and i guess this is bad

neat mica Jan 5, 2017, 3:28 PM

#

I understand why they changed it, I mean you're in the menu and suddenly you need to fire because an enemy has rounded the corner in front of you, hitting ESC once or several times before you can fire usually ended up with you dead.

fringe salmon Jan 5, 2017, 3:30 PM

#

it depends. im klicking the right mouse button to close the menu which is quite fast. i see now that i cant have it my way anymore.

#

now how would i train the changed menu handling so i unlearn the mouse1 thing.. golly, this will be fun out there on the servers..

neat mica Jan 5, 2017, 3:33 PM

#

you've got me going now. I had to start the game just to check what actions I would use (it's all just muscle memory otherwise). As I said before, space in menus or to interact so the new default doesn't change anything for me. I guess there were just different ways to do it previously and they remove one

#

Looks like the change was introduced in 1.64 and I, and many others just didn't notice because it didn't alter the behaviour we were used to.

#

says a lot that no-one responded to that thread on the forum

#

correction: added after 1.64 judging by the date of that post, one day after the 1.64 release

desert isle Jan 5, 2017, 3:43 PM

#

Ive always used default, must be why ive not noticed anything

#

But, if they change it again, I'll use whatever the new default is.

slow abyss Jan 5, 2017, 3:46 PM

#

I'm pretty sure the LMB was the default action button on some default preset at one point, because so many people has brought this up after the update

neat mica Jan 5, 2017, 3:49 PM

#

what I suspect is that the action/behaviour was bound to both LMB and space, and some people used one and others used the other

desert isle Jan 5, 2017, 3:53 PM

#

I think I always used scroll wheel + enter. (cant be sure now)

fringe salmon Jan 5, 2017, 3:56 PM

#

i seem i just didnt realize the changes myself since i didnt shoot enemies at close range. but recently their inventory opens while i shoot them and they die. need to learn a new method to deal with this

neat mica Jan 5, 2017, 4:01 PM

#

since it's split into two actions which more or less do the same thing, you can probably just unbind the one which is bound to LMB or move it to middle mouse button as seems to be the new default

#

-FM- scroll wheel + space for me

fringe salmon Jan 5, 2017, 4:06 PM

#

i already changed it to middle mouse button. it will just take some time till i get used to it. meanwhile i will accidentally shoot people.
