Fixed it for my server. Blocked all IP's our Server was connecting to (52.20.79.163 and 217.147.95.136) in the firewall and added players to the headlessClient list. Now we can play without steam auth :3
tcp 32 0 xxx:50090 52.20.79.163:443 CLOSE_WAIT 6264/-server
tcp 32 0 xxx:42216 217.147.95.136:443 CLOSE_WAIT 6264/-server
Both seem to be tcp connections to 443. Don't know if Adding to headless client list is important. Did that before and didn't work. But works now

before i open a ticket with the feedback tracker: can anyone confirm that while using optics, double tapping + on numpad locks the zoom in and doubletapping - does not lock the zoom out? in A2 i totally used the zoom out while clearing buildings which worked splendid.
scarlet path
on default keybinds your mouse 3 + 4 will lock zoom. you might look into what that bind is called
quaint jewel
Didn't try to lock the zoom out for some time. But it was working in the past
fringe salmon
im not on default. and it was never working in the past. just recently i was trying to use it again and got mad at it again so now im asking.
scarlet path
there certainly is an option for your zoom to remain a certain level depending on how long you press those buttons. at least that is how it works on the mouse. I wouldn't use any buttons that are far of tbh
rich yoke
Possibly relevant from Thursday's dev branch changelog
"Fixed: Zoom would not work in the mutiplayer environment in some cases (https://feedback.bistudio.com/T121720)"
tiny imp
@scarlet path @fringe salmon @rich yoke the fix is also available as part of performance binaries in profiling branch #perf_prof_branch
fringe salmon
I am not having problems with zooming in. I am having problems with zooming out, locking it (doubletap) and using optics. but since i dont use the mousewheel to zoom in and out, i will give it a try, even if the zoom out lock doesnt work as for now with current perf_branch.
scarlet path
It actually is the thumb buttons on the mouse if yours has them. like on the side of the mouse.
really convinient
fringe salmon
i just came to try the numpad zoom lock and using optics but it didnt work. so you think it will be different if i use a different button to lock the zoom out? @scarlet path
scarlet path
That would be my guess. My mouse zoom is smooth and stays at its position
fringe salmon
no time to test it by myself yet but is zoom an axis or how did you set it up exactly?
scarlet path
I'd need to check ingame for how the bind is called. I am using Apex default

H: After I press the start button in the launcher, Arma 3 itself takes anywhere from 10-40 seconds to start(the Logo with the loading-bar appears) with no indication that anything is happening up to that point. I've tried to reinstall as well and removing all profiles and files in the arma folder. No difference between starting in from lanucher or from EXE and no difference if moded or not.
scarlet path
so the game isn't starting or is it only the delay?

@jaunty badger I want to disable AI, when player disconnected.
And AI must stay on position and dont move
jaunty badger
Why not do that and reenable it when someone connects?
jaunty badger
It really shouldn't tbh. Switching the unit over to a player should suspend all that disableAI stuff, however it actually works.
And it should take effect again when the player leaves the unit.
HandleDisconnect and initPlayerLocal.sqf for a workaround.
desert isle
@near wasp depending on your PC, that can be normal.
near wasp
@desert isle it only started recently, Don't know if it started related to a patch as I didn't play A3 dec-jan, but it was an instantanious start before. I have SSD, 16 ram and an i7 from last year and the whole thing. I don't even know how to begin troubleshooting it.
desert isle
Are you using startup parameters ? Like this: "C:\arma3\arma3.exe" -nosplash -skipintro;
near wasp
I use the launchers checkboxes for these parameters; HT, no logs Static background, skip logos. Hangon Ill try without.
Sadly no change in startup time.
desert isle
I'm travelling at the moment so can't go too in depth at this time. What I would suggest is to try and track down everything that you've done with your PC since the last time you played A3. (Installed/deleted programs, etc) Take a systematic, step by step approach.
near wasp
This time it took 4min 32 seconds. And now I started it instantly 4 times in a row. I hate when there is no consistency with my computer problems. @desert isle thanks for help, I will tinker abit more and if I can't figure it out I will take it to the forum.

no clue tbh... according to the RPT the startup takes less than a minute both times

It seems that I have fixed it by cleaning up in Windows %TEMP% folder, I don't know what was the cuase, though.

quaint jewel
Eventually after 2 more tanoa missions, back to 12
Sounds like the server is completly fine.
Restarted game and came back, got about 20 Also sounds like not really a Server problem.
scarlet path
in my experience the server's load affects my personal frame rate as well. It helps to flush the personal system but it won't help to reset the frames to mission begin rates
fallow remnant
we were like 4 people
Initially Altis missions, later Tanoa
seemed to speed up the process
only scripts running afaik was F3
And within F3, only markers run throughout
And that code is stable enough to most likely not be an issue
it also makes little sense that a new mission would start in a degraded state
but not after restarting the game
scarlet path
sounds reasonable
fallow remnant
I don't know how much of this is due to the many mem leaks they've fixed so far ๐
Haven't had the 3 FPS thing specifically though...although 8 fps isn't all that higher lol
Probably will try the perf binary tomorrow during session
scarlet path
my frames only go that low when a lot of AI is spawned and destroyed.
3 fps thing occurs to me when I load a lot of map during long gameplays. i.e. traveling the map in a chopper for 2 hours
desert isle
Currently on our 4th hour of continuous play
quaint jewel
In all my low fps cases so far the cause was either script, too many animations running or sound (sometimes sound bugs out and runs 70ms per frame)
None of them Server or GPU draw
Ofc draw still get's crazy with 10k view distance. But that's to be expected
I can only say run prof build and check what causes it. 2 people in my Group always run prof build so that we exactly know what caused a perf problem when it appears. When everyone is lagging the last they wanna hear is "We're trying to find what the error is" they wanna hear "We know what the Problem is. Fixing it now"
jaunty badger
Yes, but you're using evidence.
fallow remnant
seems to be more about how many missions you cycle through, than the length of play (in our sessions the two correlate, but it's far more apparent in mission testing, when you go through ~10 missions in 2 hours)
But yeah, profiling branch
Will also have to figure out how to use it properly...
near wasp
@fallow remnant Check RPT, if you don't need it stio taking Logs. RPT spam might be a thing here.
fallow remnant
Well common wisdom is to not turn off logs but to address whatever's causing spam ๐
At least, that's what I remember
But yeah, will check it

lots of spam from two particular things
Object WeaponHolderSimulated can't have zero or negative mass! a3\weapons_f\dummyweapon.p3d

And the frequency seems to be increasing as the number of missions increases....
I've seen this spam before too

Fixed it!Edited my (username).Arma3 file in my documents and set the status of it to "custom" instead of "disabled"
next solstice
I've been getting a bad "hesitation" when I ADS and when I pull the trigger (sending the first round down range). I mostly play KotH, so not sure if it's an Arma 3 issue, or a KotH issue. Moving Windows and Arma 3 to ssd's solved this issue in the past, but it has risen it's ugly head again about 2-3 months ago. No hardware changes on my end.
When I ADS, sometimes I have to click multilple times before the weapon raises from a ready position. This isn't an issue with having the weapon down and having to double tap ctrl or double click the mouse. Other times, when I click to ADS, it won't ADS and so I click again, and then all of a sudden, it will ADS and then go back to a ready position, like there was a delay in sending/recieving the input. If these 2 issues don't happen, then whenever I right-click to ADS, there's like a half second delay in ADS'ing. Doesn't matter if I use an assault rifle or lmg, it's all the same. Now, when I clear a room, I ADS before entering the room, but then there is a delay in sending the first round down range. When I think I'll trade at the least, the other guy just walks away.
Is it just me, or has something changed in the last couple of months that would bring this on? Thanks.

To the people who are getting the 3FPS Bug, how much RAM have you got? Because i got it, yet i've only got 8GB of RAM. From what i've been told, it's possibly because of the page file / amount of RAM ArmA needs but can't get (Please no hate, it's only what i've been told)
sacred bramble
@cinder delta 16gb ... Someone said that all member of his group with 4gb and less Ram haven't got the bug.

Have you set any memory allocators in the launcher or in the launch params?

**Not memory allocators, i mean allocated any RAM

-maxMem ?
cinder delta
Yeah
sacred bramble
I am fairly sure it's been tested with "all" the possible starting parameter (combinations)
cinder delta
I know, it's just that i had my maxMem set, and i kept on getting it. I removed it and i haven't got it since for some reason. So my theory lies with that. But i don't know, i haven't really found anyone else to help me test / backup that theory.

CUP is really large. I bet ~20 GB. For me it doesn't matter if I play modded or vanilla to get the bug. I get it by travelling a lot. like being in a helicopter or a plane. cities also help lol.
lime thunder
Yah, between CUP and RHS you're pushing 30GB. I only know because we run them both as well - though we have CUP Units, too. We're just in the process of removing AFRF, SAF, and GREF from RHS (among some other lightly- or un-used mods). We're also trying to limit ourselves to the CUP and Icebreakr maps, as I see in your list. ๐
scarlet path
I'd just remove the CUP weapons and units and use RHS for that. but yeah, no one uses the serbians or whatever they are
lime thunder
CUP Weapons and Units might be something we look at trimming next. Going to do it in steps. We rarely see the 3fps bug... we more often see hard crashes of the game (but when Arsenal or Zeus is employed... which, we're supposing, has something to do with the number of "things" that have to load when that happens)
When I've seen a crash, the memory usage is right at the limit for 32 bit, which makes me assume it might be the same cause, but my game skips the warning stage of the 3fps bug and goes right to shitting itself. ๐
Exactly.
Same as 64-bit client. ๐
Never look under the carpet.
To be fair, though, I don't think BI has ever presented the 64-bit client as a "solution" to the bug
People just kind of think it is. And really, if someone who can play for 2 hours now before getting the effects of the mem leak can then play for six hours and not get it (even if the game is chewing up 15GB of memory), then it appears, from their frame of reference, that it's "fixed"
desert isle
"no one uses the serbians or whatever they are"
Except the Serbians and their neighbours...
Going back to reducing the size of the mods. A typical squad night (of ours) lasts 6-7 hours with that modset, with no 3FPS bug. So, it seems to not to have any relation to the size of the modsets (or the duration). Though I have my own suspicions about tracked vehicles.
scarlet path

As I mentioned earlier, I believe it's somehow connected to tracked vehicles

and copters cause i get users reporting it by just flying copters
no theory survives this bug ๐
fallow remnant
Vanilla, 8GB, never had the bug; had a few random crashes.
A lot of us get FPS knocked down to ~10 fps though
Performance branch seemed to fix it for me
scarlet path
yeah, we had a situation that a fire team went into town and an apache was overwatching/backing us up. we, the fire team, all went down to 8 FPS because of all the action the server was throwing at us. meanwhile the chopper crew didn't suffer any fps drops. it is just really random somehow.
fallow remnant
yeah, and restarting the game fixes it...
it is just really random somehow.

I will definitely broach that subject... I don't expect to get far. The wounds of getting rid of RHS AFRF are still open. ๐
Last time the low frame bug happened to me (the game crashed seconds later) was while watching an explosion. On Esseker, let off an M183 next to an artillery unit. I remember seeing a pillar of smoke, then my teammates all doing the funky starfish half buried in the ground, then black screen.

borderless fullscreen has randomyl broken for me
my windows taskbar is now constantly over the game
this happened after I reinstalled the game from my HDD to my SSD
so instead of being proper borderless, and insteaad of a titlebar, I get this http://i.imgur.com/GtK4rb7.png
I've restarted the game like 4 times, in different window/fullscreen/full;screen windowed modes/resolution
didn't fix anything
i tried autohiding the taskbar and it just shows my web browser's title http://i.imgur.com/0OACJnT.png

ALT+ENTER doesn't help?

I remember having had the same problem with the windows taskbar overlapping (different) games as well every now and then. Restarting explorer.exe fixed it. Can't say that I experienced it in a long time now, though. Might have been fixed? Windows 10 works in mysterious ways sometimes.

How do you make an Xbox360 controller work with the friggin splended camera?

camera seems to be fucked somehow. not even my my joystick is working anymore

@barren fog you can't
map the bulldozer controls to your xbox controller

when i try to play on any server i get kicked around 2 mins later. any one know what this is and how i can fix it?
scarlet path
do you get kicked without notice? might be a missing mod or a mod that isn't allowed on the server. is it on every server or only a specific one?
scarlet path
weird
desert isle
@obtuse pebble First rule, keep it one channel please. Secondly, based on what you've said, you launch with no mods. Are the servers you're trying to join Vanilla? (no mods)
obtuse pebble
ok and yes
desert isle
Where are you in relation to the servers? That is, are you in say Russia and trying to connect to servers in Australia?
obtuse pebble
im in eu and connecting to a eu server and ive verifiede my game restarted my pc and it still wont play :/
desert isle
And you've verified that the server that you're trying to connect to is running no mods?
obtuse pebble
yes i dont use mods i like the game vannila and its the same server i always use and ive changed nothing๐ค
desert isle
Battle Eye enabled?
obtuse pebble
it is
scarlet path
try a different server first
scarlet path
maybe you are banned on that specific server ๐
obtuse pebble
yes ive tried many servers in difrent regions. and how to i compare?
desert isle
What server? Version # should be visible next to the server (or at least it used to be)
desert isle
also, its in the bottom left corner (where the server version is)
fallow remnant
You're on windows, right?
also the .rpt file is a log file
located in
%localappdata%\Arma 3
There will be one made everytime you run Arma, so sort by date and open the latest one in notepad/notepad++/etc
desert isle
Now is the point to ask " what exactly has happened"
obtuse pebble
i was playing koth i got i walked around a bit like normal then it just stops and says you have been kicked from the game
desert isle
time to dig up that RPT.
Was it the same server your normally play on or a random one?
fallow remnant
eh sort by date
with newest first
they'll be a bunch of them in that very folder
obtuse pebble
yup i see them

as SK said, open it with Notepadd++ or similar, then post its contents to PasteBin, then link it here.

desert isle
Have you tried on a new profile?
obtuse pebble
yes
desert isle
and...
lime thunder
It does look like the server might be running mods (BWA3 and TRYK?) or at least using objects from them. But you're not getting a missing mod error.
obtuse pebble
@desert isle i tried a new user still the same thing and frost the server dosent show that it has any mods in the server menu
desert isle
odd

Someone uses any of these glasses in their profile, but they are not available on the server.
It's an old bug. Happens with all mods that add glasses.
The game never checks if the mod for the assets written in profile is still present. And on servers, this pop up happens then for everyone.
Fix never.

When you say "open", what exactly do you mean

i think it should, since "addon" doesn't = mod

"A3_Armor_F_Beta_APC_Wheeled_02",
"A3_Air_F_Beta_Heli_Attack_02",

I had the same issue once
Open up your mission.sqm
For every unit there is
id=91;
If you tried to copy some units from another mission by editing the mission.sqm you might have some units that have the same id. In which case, the units are unplayable, as the client won't know what to do with 2 units with the same id (as the computer lacks decision making capabilities and control over the sitiuation when it is stricktly in it's hands.).
This can be tested by loading the mission as each of the players in the edtior (It won't let you play in the editor as well).

@fringe salmon Fun fact: I experienced the 3 FPS bug only once in a vanilla mission I made but it worked fine the other 30 times I played said mission.

the problem is

To begin with, we played Liberation: Altis. I've not played that particular combo before (not sure of the ver no. either).

If you manage to put a script error there or suspend via waitUntil and the condition never evaluated to true in the mission, the loading screen never ends.

I guess it depends on which "ton of mods" you use. Some play well with each other, others dont. @coral swift

No, that's the mods.

So.. dialogs. ๐ I made one, but the text scales with the interface size. I made it with my setting (small), which means that the text is yuge for people on normal setting. Is there a simple trick to make either the whole display scale, or to keep the text at a set size?
fallow remnant
set it to normal?
I assume it'll be normal at normal settings
but i'm just guessing, never messed around with dialogue boxes
lime thunder
I assume that if I make the dialogue at normal settings, it would then be quite small on the small setting, though. This is my first crack at making one, so I assumed that I was missing something straightforward.
fallow remnant
i mean it's Arma
I expect straightforward things to involve jumping through loops ๐

Indeed. ๐ Like with most things, I guess, the more configurable it is, the harder it is to fine-tune things.

I didn't get Arma 3 through the Humble Bundle. Steam won't recognize the Arma 3 files.

verify installation, have you tried that?

When I try to install it, it removes the files and tries to redownload the entire thing.

if steam is doing this something is fucked up with your previous install of A3. let steam do it's job

Yep. Check Files -> Let it install whats needed

Has anyone else been having the 2fps bug? (In which your playing normally then your frames drop two somewhere between 1-3fps and all the resolution models swap to there lowest. Character models all sink into the ground (except for their vests) and you more or less have to restart your game)
Ive never had the issue without mods loaded but have heard of people who have, its been happening alot more the past few days, and I have tried a custom memory allocater as well as changing launcher params such as CPU settings and max GPU Ram
Its becoming a big issue amongst my friend group so anyone with any info on how to fix, it would be greatly appreciated if you could share
scarlet path
there is no real fix tbh. my workaround is too restart the game after playing for like two hours to flush the ram
also I experienced it equally as often in vanilla as in modded

There is one thing though which migh happen since it worked for me. i set maxvram to 2048. yes, thats it.
didnt have the 3fps bug for a month

I'm launching arma3.exe without -mod parameter, my steam arma3 directory is empty (no @ addons there)... but arma3 still loads one addon. where does it pull that info, some registry or?
wise barn
check
arma launcher -> params -> all params -> mods
maybe some entry in there? @formal goblet
formal goblet
I once by accident (dont recall what happened) started arma3launcher. I definitely have not used it to launch any mods, ever. do you think it still might be the issue though?
wise barn
the only possibility that comes to my mind.
how do you launch A3?
formal goblet
batch file.
formal goblet
hmm I dont even know where to start that hehe, have to go look i tup ๐
well doh "arma3launcher.exe" in arma3 dir. ok lets see what happens when I launch that thing ...
arma3launcher.exe -> mods, is empty?
lime thunder
what addon is it loading?
formal goblet
not that it makes any difference, but "vte_dev" dir, its located on different dir than arma3 install or where my profiles are kept.
lime thunder
Does it show up in your rpt file? That should show the path it's loading it from, too - maybe it's hiding somewhere else? ๐
formal goblet
it shows up in RPT and in-game normally.
lime thunder
Does it show it on the command line in rpt? like... line 3?
formal goblet
no -mod= in RPT third line.
its weird as options -> expansions menu shows the addon dir and it also includes one "empty" mod, so definitely something weird is going on, arma3.exe pulls this info from some weird place, registry or some other place I cant figure out.
well its not registry, searched it through for the addon name string and nothing arma3 related came up.
formal goblet
"vte_dev"
lime thunder
It didn't somehow slip into one of the dlc folders (mark, heli, kart, curator, expansion)?
(I don't even know if it would load if it did... just spitballing)
formal goblet
heh no (but let me check just to be thorough) ...
wise barn
@formal goblet
according to google this is an A2 mod with some batch file to "auto install" the mod/update
formal goblet
no, it didnt slip into DLC dirs. btw "vte_dev" is a directory of dozens of pbos.
wise barn
you might want to check your a3 addons folder for pbs who shouldn't be there
formal goblet
hehe I'm VTE dev ๐
jaunty badger
No -mod line is broken. Use -mod="" to start without mods.
lime thunder
tricksy.

hehe I'm VTE dev :smile:

formal goblet
commy2: I dont even use -mod line, at all. do you mean I have to use -mod="" to load arma3 without addons?
faint dawn
nah, just don't add it to the commandline oO
Normaly, it should load nothing, unless you tell it to
formal goblet
ok for the record here is my complete startup bat file in this case: dos set PMCPARAMS=-showScriptErrors -nosplash -skipintro -world=empty -exThreads=7 -profiles=c:\pathToProfiles\arma3 set ARMA3PATH=D:\pathToSteam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3 START "" /D "%ARMA3PATH%" /B "%ARMA3PATH%\arma3.exe" %PMCPARAMS%
lime thunder
that's logical. commy2's way is very explicit, though.
faint dawn
Yeah Snake.
formal goblet
ok added -mod="" and that fixed it, ghost addon dir(s) are gone! thanks commy2
makes no frigging sense though, if -mod= is broken... how does it effect me when I'm not using it ๐ฎ
faint dawn
Wait, so you started without the param -mod and it loaded a mod?
lime thunder
Yeah. That's messed up. Is it possible a mod load could be embedded in the profile?
formal goblet
yes no -mod and it loaded a mod dir.
faint dawn
wtf? oO
formal goblet
hmm profile...
faint dawn
In the profile? Is that even possible?
I mean, he is obv. not using the Launcher, so, erm.. hmm.. idk.
lime thunder
Dunno. I know that the vte_dev looks like much more than a standard addon. ๐
formal goblet
myName.Arma3Profile has no vte_dev string and the .vars. profile file is binary.
lime thunder
Hm. How do you feel about supernatural possession of electronic devices? ๐
formal goblet

lime thunder
glad it got sorted, anyway. And that's a good tip to tuck away - thanks commy2.
formal goblet
I think when people use <arma3root>@MyAddon\ dirs enabled from options -> expansions, they get written on profile? I remember seeing some mod info in my arma2 profiles years ago.
that -mod issue is quite new, I dont run arma3 without addons but few days ago I had to test something out and noticed the ghost addon dir. no idea on which version it broke.
or maybe its related to how the specific addon got there in the first place, that addon dir is farly new from december I think.
lime thunder
Be interesting to see once you go back to your normal -mod= line if the mystery one comes back as well.
formal goblet
no it doesnt.
lime thunder
Oh. Hm. That wasn't as interesting as I hoped. ๐

ARMA ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
formal goblet
back in 2015 I played arma3 bis campaigns through using the above bat file to start the game. since then I rarely used arma3 without addons. on december 2016 I created vte_dev dir and now few days ago when using no addons startup... the ghost dir was there. dunno at which point the cmd -mod broke like commy2 said, OR how did I manage to add the ghost dir somewhere in the first place.
I think when I was running buldozer and some other developing shizzle, I had no steam running and it popped up couple of times that cannot launch buldozer because steam is not on, will you allow the launch blabla. hmmm comes to think of it, wonder if frigging steam client added the -mod parameter ...
hmm steam arma3 launch parameters is set, but no -mod there.
oh well, -mod="" works so issue resolved ๐

hmmm

Was hoping it would be something other than this;
This is what I got from support ticket:-However I fixed by uninstalling my 32bit operating system and installing 64

- Uninstall the game.
- Make a backup of Arma 3 folder in Documents.
- Delete both Arma 3 folders in Documents and Steam:

\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3
- Reboot your PC.
- Run Steam as Admin, download the game.
- Try to run Arma 3 (without mods).
This should fix your issue.

@jaunty badger https://www.dropbox.com/s/se9eqrhw3z3ghob/RPT's.zip?dl=0 There are the RPT's of the players and server. Thanks for looking at it.
jaunty badger
Very bad configs with Exile_psycho
manic egret
Okay didn't set them up, scripting has been dumped on me so will look through that, thanks for the help.
jaunty badger
That certainly has nothing to do with the chat edit control not appearing
But all the assets / vehicles are pretty buged.
manic egret
Ye chat is the mystery but fine tuning exile at the same time won't hurt.
jaunty badger
How to reproduce this issue?
manic egret
The issue won't reproduce it's random which makes me think its a user issue, but then for it to affect the majority of players makes me think server. Have found no obvious way to recreate the error.
jaunty badger
Very annoying.
So the chat box stops working for no apparent reason mid mission.
It's a bit difficult to find issues in the RPT log, because of all the animation errors in the vehicle models.
manic egret
Chat doesn't work at the start of the mission for some players then will stop working and others the other way around, ye I can see that being an issue.
jaunty badger
So sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and it can change mid mission for no reason.
Is the whole chat hidden or just the edit box to enter your comment?
manic egret
Yep, when people go to chat (press the hotkey) chat will flash and disappear meaning that they can't type. VOIP still works fine.
jaunty badger
chat is always shown
the edit box is only shown when you type
The edit box flashes, right?
Chatlog is always visible.
right?
manic egret
chat is always shown ye, can always see rcon messages etc.
jaunty badger
So it only affects the chat's edit box.
manic egret
Yes
jaunty badger
That is a totally different "display"
manic egret
Yes, sorry about that.
manic egret
Battleye's there and running.
jaunty badger
don't see it in the RPT
manic egret
Correction Bec is running no BE filters.
jaunty badger
That's what I thought.
Maybe this is an issue with the Infistar anti cheat thing. Where can I download that to take it apart?
manic egret
I can give you a copy of just the config file but I'll need to edit uid's and sensitive things out.
jaunty badger
๐คฆ
Try to reproduce without Infistar I guess.
That's what I think. It closes it for whatever reason.
You'd think they log that though.
Who knows what the addon does. It's behind a paywall. Infuriating.

would love to see what this looks like in the master config with all the mods in the RPT/repro

okay will grab that.
quaint jewel
Afaik Infistar is obfuscated scripts. There have been some People that deobfuscated it at disconvered the Backdoors that basically gave the Infistar authors Admin-like access to any Server that uses Infistar.
so for 30โฌ you can install your own backdoor. Would always recommend buying ofc.
jaunty badger
Infistar can close the chat edit box apparently, but I have no idea why that would happen here.
Checks any time you release a button.
But it should also log "BadCommand"
killme is a command with Infistar???
fierce bloom
why would you need that?
jaunty badger
They don't like you typing "infishit".
quaint jewel
But I thought it's called infishit? Everyone I know calls it that
manic egret
Is it easier to give you a copy of the ah.sqf because its a mess. for me any me. :/ I'll remove the info etc.
jaunty badger
I have no idea why Infistar would cause this bug, but I know that Infistar can close your chat edit box.
So I guess remove the addon and see if that resolves the problem.
This addon isn't really meant to be debugged due to it's nature to put it nicely.
manic egret
Okay, ye its new to me, ye I can test that, nah I understand.
jaunty badger
CBA v3.2.0/1 adds a keyDown handler to that edit box, which might be the reason why it only happens with the updated versions.
But I don't see anything here that would check for that. It only checks what you actually type.
manic egret
Okay, ye its a very odd stupid and annoying error.
jaunty badger
In theory it should log that stuff somewhere, but I can't find "BadCommand" or anything similar in the RPT log.
I also have no idea why that would only happen randomly then.
manic egret
Ye you'd think it say somewhere, that's been the most frustrating but because it's not persistent it's much harder to find the actual cause of the whole thing, what I'm going to do is downgrade cba to 3.1.2 see if the error is there, if it is I know it'll be a keyDown issue. If it downgrading doesn't fix the error then I'll go into the AH.sqf and search and make sure the RscDisplayChat is normal and I'll also try and clear some of the RPT errors, Thanks for all our help.

ArmA freezes for a good 20 seconds whenever I get in a vehicle on a multipalyer server. Anyone know why?
fringe salmon
because you get in a vehicle.
jk lol. is it just you on this server? or do you experience this behaivor on different servers
also start up vanilla a3 and trya to get in a car in the editor without any mods (if you use any)
and last thing: open your rpt file while this happens or remember the time and check the rpt file for clues
tawny vapor
It's one server and no-one else has the issue
Next time I'm on I'l check the rpt
Thank you for the wuick reply.

It has begun to do it on single player too, although nowhere near as bad

delicate maple
propably a common error, though can someone tell me how to fix smokegrenades? They emmit tiny amounts of smoke unless you change your zoom. Mods: cba, ace3, cup,shacktacui,jsrs,blastcore
quaint jewel
particles graphics setting?
delicate maple
is that something that changed with those mods? vanilla arma = beautiful smoke modded arma = tiny amount of smoke
quaint jewel
yes. But ace has a optional particles PBO that makes the smoke a huge amount better. And Blastcore is also changing the Smoke. But none of these should make the smoke smaller than normal.
But check your graphics settings. If you have particles set to low you will get less particles == less smoke
delicate maple
I'll have a look at it once I'm at home. Thanks for pointing me in that direction!
rich yoke
There is also this mod that is pretty simple https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/194479-splendid-smoke/
delicate maple
yo dawg I heard you had problems with your smoke mod, so I added a smoke mod to your smoke mod so you can mod smokes while you're modding smokes
Sorry, couldn't miss that oportunity. I'll have a look at it at home and possibly add it. Thanks a lot ๐
fierce bloom
Afaik your problem is caused by blastcore
I've had the issue as well
Blastcore does some screwy things lately because of its (iirc) halted development
delicate maple
I'll deactivate it and see if that fixes the error. thanks ๐
quaint jewel
There is a new blastcore version that works quite fine. Check if you are using that and not the old Blastcore phoenix that is horribly outdated
fierce bloom
is that on armaholic or is it somewhere else?
quaint jewel
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=767380317 that should be it
delicate maple
that's the one we're using
though it doesn't seem to work that well with cup + ace. Same with JSRS. Shame I love gun + bulletsounds of jsrs :/
quiet shoal
Try dynasound/enhanced soundscape. Laxmaan did an amazing job with those
fierce bloom
That's what my group uses, it's great
scarlet path
can confirm
lime thunder
Jsrs works fine for us with cup and ace. Also, yes, back in blastcore Phoenix we had to remove smoke pbo, but I haven't tried the new one. Luetin did a review on it, I think.
fierce bloom
ACE has its own optional smokes pbo which looks decent
delicate maple
I'll have a look at dynasound/enhanced soundscape. Frost did you have to configure anything to get jsrs to work?
lime thunder
Nope, other than moving some optional pbos into addons folder . If you're playing on dedicated, there is a tiny bundle of files you can put on the server whose only purpose is to avoid some rpt spam.

Does anyone have experience with Arma randomly switching to inactive in the Task Manager, and becomes unresponsive?
fierce bloom
Could I possibly peek at someone's JoysticksList in their Arma3Profile to compare mine to it? Still can't get my controllers back
preferrably someone with TM Warthogs
I have a feeling the Jets DLC is going to be useless to me :c
fierce bloom
So I may have some relevant information regarding this joystick issue. I sometimes disable my joysticks using USBDeview when I start games that handle them poorly (i.e. spinning around forever, any Unreal Engine game) because having to unplug them all the time is annoying. I think I started arma while these joysticks were disabled, and that could have contributed to them not appearing. However, they are now enabled, and I've restarted several times since then, and they haven't reappeared even though they work fine in other games. Anyone have any thoughts on that?
dry mortar
well, games detecting joysticks poorly, or thinking that ANY controller is standard X360-like XInput definately caused problems for me, too, not liking to unplug the stick every time I either had to just abandon these games or look for a way to disable them
@fierce bloom I have Saitek X52 Pro, though I can send my config if you want to look at it
fierce bloom
Sure, if you would
fringe kite
You certainly sound more experienced and knowledgeable than me in terms of controllers, but have you already tried to delete everything between
class JoysticksList
{
};
and see if that reinitializes the joystick?
fierce bloom
I have, it doesn't repopulate
doing that does unbind every button left behind from the joysticks though
I'm at a complete loss for how to proceed, aside from reinstalling Windows which I'd very much like to avoid
fringe kite
Hm, that's odd.
fierce bloom
it's a little more frustrating than odd, considering I'm the regular pilot of my group :V
can't be anymore, not until this is fixed

Probably spam dwarden for help
Or try contacting BI tech support
I don't see why you have to struggle with this alone

fierce bloom
unfortunately I'll be without my desktop for the entirety of next week, so if I get help it'd have to be today or tomorrow.
@tiny imp Sorry to poke, but do you have any thoughts on arma being rather stubborn about not detecting my joysticks, no matter what I do? I've got a bug report here: https://feedback.bistudio.com/T123639

oblique horizon
I seem to be having a problem with the memory leak/3fps bug.
I didn't have a malloc enabled when it was happening and I enabled the tbb4malloc_bi one to no avail. I'm trying to play Altis Antistasi and after about 20 minutes the game will suddenly freeze for 5 seconds and then run at about 5 fps with broken, hexagon textures. I'm not sure what else to do, as the tbb4 malloc didn't work.
scarlet path
imo the best way is to take some load of the game like decreasing the view and draw distance. like at 2km. changing the memory allocators did not help me at all. I'll get the bug after like 3 hours intensive gameplay. 20 minutes sucks though.
oblique horizon
@scarlet path I'm updating my drivers right now. I disabled the malloc since the few posts I found leaned towards that. I'll see if it stops after that.
fringe salmon
try the fi
the following: maxvram 2048, maxmem 2048, malloc xttbmalloc(have to google for it)
didnt have 3fps ever again
had it EVERY day before
dont know exactly which setting helped but there it is
oblique horizon
Alright it seems to be working pretty well now - hopefully
But there another question, whenever I play Antistasi I host it on a LAN server for the respawn / mp mechanics of it. However, whenever I save and exit through the normal ARMA one and reload it, ACE medical seems to completely stop working for my character. I start to take vanilla damage instead of ACE damage and cannot treat myself at all. I'm forced to restart the mission and reload the persistent save when this happens to fix ACE medical.
jaunty badger
try to reproduce with CBA and ACE only on a newly created mission without scripts and if it still happens, report it on the ACE githib.
oblique horizon
It continues to work fine. I feel like it's just an issue of reinitilization, but I'm not sure how I would do that. I also seem to become incredibly resilient to damage when this happens, resilient like let a grenade explode in my hand and limp away from it or get sprayed down by an HMG and barely flinch resilient.
jaunty badger
just an issue of reinitilization,
No, if it works fine with only CBA and ACE, then there is a bug with any of the other mods you are using.
There is no such thing as reinitialization. Arma already serializes and deserializes savegames, but bad scripting can always lead to bugs
And since no one bothers to debug savegames, a lot of mods and missions break it.
oblique horizon
Making a scenario with all of the other mods loaded and exiting and relaunching has it work perfectly fine. I feel like this is something unavoidable, as it says on the site that ACE is not entirely implemented. Is there a way to disable ACE medical in a workshop scenario?
oblique horizon
I found a post on the forums and it seems you're always supposed to restart so I believe I'm completely at fault here.
Thanks for the help either way @jaunty badger
jaunty badger
Then it seems to be an issue with the mission.
oblique horizon
I imagine that the way it's coded. It has a default revive system but ACE medical overrides that. I guess 'restarting' the machine allows it to read the addons installed. Honestly I have no idea, but whatever works.
jaunty badger
No, it's just bad scripting. Trust me.
fallow remnant
@oblique horizon FYI you always have a malloc enabled, the game can't allocate memory without it. tbb4malloc_bi is the default one (when you haven't specified any).

Is there any way to stop 3DEN from always sorting my grouped units int he entity (and role selection) alphabetically? Created this issue because reproducable: https://feedback.bistudio.com/T123714
forest tide
Yes
Usually the last units you grouped will be the last ones
But you can also edit your mission.sqm (make sure it's not binarized)
Changing the order here will change the order in role selection
I've never actually seen them sorted alphabetically
tardy trench
Well I thought that as well that the last unit is the last one - but this is not the case I've noticed
if you have TL and squad lead in a group with other units, team lead will always be last, even though all units are grouped to squad lead

Something that was causing me no end of annoyance with a completely different game (and I don't use the server browser in ArmA - only play on private servers), but might be an issue - check their router config to see if there is UDP flood protection. I had to turn mine off.
VPN would be tunneling right past any of the router protection, so it sounds like it's something on the router that might be causing the issue.
(In case they have a D-Link DSR-250N, it's in Advanced... Advanced Network... Attack Checks)

Can some1 explain this to me:
I created a mission, exported it and loaded it onto my unit's server.
If I connect my game closes with an access violation.
If I localy start the mission everything works fine.
If I disconnect from my local server and then connect to my unit's server everything is working as well.
ie What is he caching that prevents the access violation?

Greetings to everybody! I have a trouble with multiplayer in ArmA3. It doesn't matter clear server, or modded - I connect to the server, load mission file, spawn, play for about 1 - 5 minutes, and then i getting kicked off the game. No more information. Some server admins told me that i have a "Signature check timed out". And one of the admins looked into server log file and said to me that server can't get my player ID (id='fffffffffffff'). I've tried a lot of decisions:
- file hash check VIA Steam;
- reinstall the ArmA3;
- shutdown antivirus software;
- shutdown firewall;
- launch with administrator options;
- reinstall Windows, then Steam, then ArmA3 again.
I haven't found any useful help topic in the internet. If anybody knows the solution, please, answer me.
P.S.: sorry for my bad english.
