[pure nymph]

I figured out a way to get my stuff back

Man, it's janky, but it SHOULD work.

won't get my profile back though

so that's a downer.

[quaint jewel]

Is there some question you are trying to ask? So far I only see you talking about that you lost your profile

[pure nymph]

Actually yes

Is there a way to revert my profile to a previous incarnation, like a backup on steam cloud

or at least fix the errors in this one?

[faint dawn]

No Backup from the Profile in SteamCloud :/

[pure nymph]

and CTI doesn't allow you to export loadouts from the virtual arsenal

my god

I'm gonna have to rebuild everything again

well

at least it'll be more accurate

or something

there goes my sunday.

Wait, there might be a workshop mission that lets me do this..

[quaint jewel]

What... are you trying to do.. You are just talking to yourself in public

[pure nymph]

I'm trying to recover the loadouts I've made in the pastw eek

using workshop scripts and whatnot

[quaint jewel]

Can you still see them in Virtual Arsenal?

[pure nymph]

I click the load/save buttons, and the window with all the loadouts doesn't come up

Third party mods and scripts can access them easily though.

[quaint jewel]

Go into Editor. Open debug console. And execute
copytoclipboard str (profilenamespace getvariable ["bis_fnc_saveInventory_data",[]])

You'll have all the data from your loadouts in your clipboard and can save them as a backup

That is.. If your profile is not corrupted... Which.. I guess it isn't if some scripts can access them

[pure nymph]

Well, it worked.

But it's all in one line, but nonetheless, THANK YOU.

[quaint jewel]

You can take it apart manually.. Atleast now you have a backup in case anything goes wrong when trying to recover stuff

[pure nymph]

Well, I shoved it into Microsoft word for easier organization. It's 26 pages long. Though, it's preferred than making them all from scratch again.

[quaint jewel]

Word? For text editing? Wow...

Notepad++ 4 evar

[pure nymph]

I used Notepad++, line one turned the horizontal scroll bar into a tic-tac

[quaint jewel]

Whatever... Have fun

[warm sinew]

might be able to with profileNamespace get/setvariable

[quaint jewel]

Already solved Lecks...

im tottaly sick of this thing not working

[tawny helm]

Hey, I'm having an issue with the campaign

[sand badger]

technical or difficulty

[tawny helm]

technical

after getting my briefing at maxwell camp

it makes you go and rearm

[sand badger]

yea

[tawny helm]

so for this mission, it wanted me to get a flashlight and some ammo, but when it automatically filled up I only got the flashlight and it said "some gear could not be added"

[sand badger]

likely you're carrying too much, drop some mags then mnaually grab what you need

[tawny helm]

then when I tried to manually add ammo from the crates, it only swapped out the ammo

I've tried that

[sand badger]

odd.

delete that save, redo previous mission

[tawny helm]

OK, will do. thanks

also, is it normal for the launcher to stay open after launching the game?

[sand badger]

yeah, you can change that

[tawny helm]

gah it still didn't work

weird

[sand badger]

hmm. is there a mod where you can spawn stuff in for yourself in the campaign? could just brute force it

[tawny helm]

yeah that could work.

do you know any?

err

@quaint jewel Thanks for the response, !!! what else can i tell you, i've sent the rpt and crashdump to bistudios and am waiting on a response. I've tried switching to legacy 1.68, runs but no server access, i've tried dev branch which sorta kinda runs but crash's for no reason and am currrently opting out of all beta thingy's ...so any insight would be awesome. Thanks again !!

[sand badger]

@tawny helm did you get it workin?

[wind lichen]

Guys, i lost all my saves in arma, i dont know why... 😦 i see a folder that says Other Profiles and in there is all my saves, but the game wont use them.

[hollow umbra]

@TheGreatSoup#1153 switch profiles in the main menu, simple.

[wind lichen]

@hollow umbra i am on my profile and everything is lost. the game boots on the right profile, but the loadouts, the campaing, the showcases, the mapped controls, all gone.

[hollow umbra]

@TheGreatSoup#1153 You're obviously on a different profile.

[wind lichen]

@hollow umbra nop, i am in the profile i need to be, i only have 2 the one wich use the name of my PC(My Name), and the one i use as main (thegreatsoupTV). i see the folder "OtherProfiles" and "TheGreatSoup" is intact, but now everytime i open the game, all is restore to dafult settings, no saves, nothing. i try to change something on the option and nothing.

[hollow umbra]

@TheGreatSoup#1153 Don't know what to tell you. Everything regarding campaign progress is saved in the profiles area in keys.

[sand sigil]

Does anyone know why this error crashed my game when I try to host a server? I have reinstalled, verified, check the PBO(the file that isnt found is in there) and I have used someone else's 3den PBO and it still is having the same error

Error - Include file a3\3den\UI\dikCodes.inc not found.

[hollow umbra]

@Salty#2436 dikCodes are used for keybindings of such. Have you opened the eden editor at all?

[sand sigil]

I opened it a week ago, after tryig to then host it the error crashes my game

[hollow umbra]

@sand sigil keep trying to verify the game cache. Shouldnt be missing.

[quasi skiff]

Hey guys, after latest hotfix update this happened to a friend of mine

https://gyazo.com/14d87b52adeb237cc8fc6ceeaa19022d

Any ideas?

[hollow umbra]

@quasi skiff problem with graphics card, either driver problem or device isnt connected or functioning for whatever reason.

[quasi skiff]

Keep in mind, he is saying this happened only after hotfix update from arma

[hollow umbra]

@quasi skiff doesnt matter what happend before or after. Driver compatibility with arma can change at any given moment. Roll Rollback or reinstall the drivers or restart your pc.

[quasi skiff]

Okey

[scarlet path]

did that happen once or is this a regular happening? I had that error once and never seen since

[hollow umbra]

@scarlet path again, this erorr doesnt necessarily pertain to a particular update. Its the interaction between drivers and the game.

[quasi skiff]

He said he restarted game 3 times

[hollow umbra]

Restart the pc

If nothing comes of it

Then rollback to a older driver version and restart the pc

[scarlet path]

yeah, that isn't what I was trying to say. It occured to me once, I did not change anything about my running system and had no issue again.

[hollow umbra]

Really all depends. It could be an initial driver failure and the game crashes and you can start it back up easily

That usually only happens on older hardware though

[nova marten]

why is range missing from Laser Designator

[sage dirge]

😂

There is a new key for that

wich you need to press to get the current distance

[nova marten]

Ok thanks can you recall what key it is?

[sage dirge]

T or TAB

but It would be better for you to just change it in the settings to something you like

[scarlet path]

the bind is called 'Lase Range' or something like that. it need to be rebound. the default key for that definitly isn't T or Tab. for me (Apex default config) it was the button next to enter ('#' on a german keyboard and something like '' on english)

[neat mica]

on english keyboard too

' on US keyboard though

[jolly bolt]

Has there been a fix for the 64bit/7.1 headset problem?

[desert isle]

Logitech? If so, yes. The problem is with the Logitech sotware. Install the x64 version of LGS and its fixed.

[fallow remnant]

i've heard it doesn't fix it for everyone, though...

first place to start, though

[errant arch]

idk if this should go here

but ive spawned the carrier ingame through the debug panel but i cant attach to the catapult for some reason anyone know what the issue might be? or does it have to be spawned in the editor

[desert isle]

Works fine if spawned in the editor.

Didn't know that SK, only heard positive results from it.

[pulsar idol]

is the zeus, change respawn location broken?

[jolly bolt]

@desert isle @fallow remnant didnt seem to make any difference to me. Thanks anyway though

[compact crest]

I have the same issue with Razer as well so it's not just Logitech

[sage dirge]

my Darter UAV keeps lowering its altitude always to 50. is that normal?

[scarlet path]

@compact crest AMD CPU by any chance?

[compact crest]

You'd be correct FX-6300

[scarlet path]

there seems to be a correlation somehow. try to update the virtual sound drivers of your system.

[compact crest]

Already tried still doesn't work

[scarlet path]

hmm...the only other option I can think of is to update the chipset driver. or try to lower/increase the bitrate/frequenczy of the output sound in the windows audio options.

[compact crest]

Already tried that as well

What fixed it for me was running the game in 32 bit

But I really hope that it's not going to be a permenant work-around.

I would rather run the game 64 bit...

[scarlet path]

yeah, you should find the feedback tracker ticket and put some pressure on it 😄

[fading sequoia]

One pretty interesting thing was that someone's workaround solution was to install Razer drivers instead of Logitech for Logitech headset
https://forums.bistudio.com/forums/topic/205061-psa-usb-71-headset-surround-sound-issue-workaround/#comment-3192243

[sage dirge]

lol

[compact crest]

Didn't work for me since i had razer since the start... but what if i install Logitech drivers instead of the razer one's?

time to test it

Actually scratch that I don't think it's possible without having the actual headset. Rip

[fluid bison]

help? http://prntscr.com/fdi8gj - Only happens with Object Builder

[tepid crypt]

Anyone ran into this crash before: https://feedback.bistudio.com/T58946

As you can see, I've been plagued by it ever since the 1.7 update 😛

[tawdry talon]

my Darter UAV keeps lowering its altitude always to 50. is that normal? yeah, try adding a waypoint with the desired altitude and/or turn off autonomous behaviour.

[fading pulsar]

@tawdry talon I think 1 message was enough

[fringe salmon]

looks like bad network connectivity

[fading pulsar]

yep, reminds me of my phones internet

[sage dirge]

@tawdry talon I did both. still happening

the altitude waypoint is getting completly ignored

[tawdry talon]

@fading pulsar I think my shotty cellular resulted in that

that's curious further

bug track that stuff

[sage dirge]

mmh well I was playing with ACE

Ill just test it without mods

if the bug still exists Ill bugtrack it (Dont know how but google will help me for sure)

[placid token]

@sage dirge #arma3_feedback_tracker (Scroll up and you'll find the website for it)

[sage dirge]

mmh I just tested it in vanilla A3 SP. Works fine.

okay works fine in MP too

so either it is a ACE Problem or a Map Problem

[tawdry talon]

curious

[quaint jewel]

I think I also experienced that Darter thing on Stratis. I only tested for a few seconds but I notices my Drone going down. I pushed it up manually by flying in the driver remote control thingy though. Previously it would just hold height. But that time it looked like it was slowly going back down again. I didn't pay much attention to that though and didn't check the height display

[warm sinew]

our UAV guy has had the same issue for over a year

i just keep telling him he's doing it wrong

[quaint jewel]

setOwnering a empty Object doesn't really make sense does it? And if there is AI in there then it's a group.

[faint dawn]

attachTo / Sling Rope = Local anyway to the attached Obj owner

for stuff like setFuel / setHitpointDamage etc = Locality needed

[granite grove]

When starting Buldozer from the Object Builder I got the Application load error: V:0000065432, it then proceeded loading and ended up not being able to start it.

[eager siren]

Anyone have a solution to the control setup adding a slider axis to everything I try to set?

[cedar abyss]

Your joystick inputs must be centered. In my case, if I don't have my joystick throttle completely centered, the game always recognize it as + or - slider. Easiest solution is to unplug your peripherals while doing keybinds.

[fringe salmon]

@fringe salmon What server branch did you use?

[fading pulsar]

@fringe salmon Probably hosted through the game to make it easier

[fringe salmon]

@tiny imp Did the server branch update to 1.73

[quaint jewel]

WTF is going on with Arsenal? The Load button is greyed out on a loadout that I just saved 20 minutes ago. There is no Mod conflict whatsoever. I heard that quite often lately that People had this problem..

Yes. Double clicking or pressing Enter or just clicking the greyed out button.. Other Loadouts work just fine. Even greyed out ones because Mods are missing I can load just fine.

I just got disconnected and have to quickly grab my loadout to get back into the mission. But now I'm sitting here manually trying to get the data out of profileNamespace to atleast get at my loadout that way

Manually executing [player,[profilenamespace, "<loadout name>"]] call bis_fnc_loadinventory; worked just fine. Now I missed 10 minutes of the mission cuz of this

[fringe salmon]

I tried to install the newest dev branch server with steamcmd to test my malden server out but, when I download the BRANCH 233780, its only 1.70 so I downloaded server+clients files from BRANCH 107410 and replaced the arma3server.exe with the new one and copied ARGO to my server but the server still is bugged and it looks like this is not a way to do it, I used -beta development

[quaint jewel]

Deleting and recreating the loadout doesn't help. If I give it a different name it works just fine.

[hollow umbra]

@quaint jewel try adding something unique to the name, like lets say the players network id or something. String it

[quaint jewel]

"BW G28 grpsnp 3.06.17" == broken but "grpsnp BW G28 3.06.17" works..

wow..

Wait a minute.. It's the index in the table

[hollow umbra]

Context...?

[quaint jewel]

1,2,3,6,7,11,15 these indexes don't work.
W00t. Now I deleted number 1 and now
3,4,5,7,13,19 don't work anymore.

What context?

It's unrelated to the loadout. If I delete the topmost loadout some loadouts start working again but others stop working. Without modifying the loadout itself

[hollow umbra]

Missing context: "these super special cool tacos are good", "cool what kind of tacos are they?" , "they're cool tacos, they taste good."

[quaint jewel]

I don't know any context. Trying to make that out but have no Idea

so in object builder when I want to preview my model, before I pack things up. the software keeps crazing and close it self. I have tried running the Arma 3 tools from steam in admin mode and different windows compact modes. I'm running a Windows 10 64bit system. Anyone here that can help me out ??

[median abyss]

I'm having a weird issue with helicopters (possible that it occurs with fixed wing too, but untested) where I'm in the copilot, gunner or FFV seat and my head shifts or warps. It just goes completely offcenter and continues to shift to different angles, including clipping into the airframe, whenever the helicopter is doing sudden maneuvers. It's quite hard to reproduce so I don't know why it occurs, but it seems to have a 50/50 chance of occuring when the helicopter takes significant damage. The only way of fixing it that I've discovered so far is jumping into another aircraft, or taking the pilot seat. If I go to the pilot seat my view will smoothly shift back to the original center position.

So far I've only seen it happen when I have addons loaded, I'm usually running the typical mix (ACE, ACRE, RHS etc.), but I haven't started the process of elimination to narrow it down to a specific addon. Just wondering if somebody else has experienced this issue.

[sage dirge]

I bet its ACE

[median abyss]

Yeah, I have a faint suspicion it might be ACE G-forces or something. I'll try removing that and see

Steam says Arma 3 is not installed on my PC despite the files existing just like before and I can launch Arma3.exe from the files.

[sage dirge]

make it install a3.

stop the installation

copy files?

@proven rune once you go to install arma 3, it'll check for existing files in the steam libraries.

[scarlet path]

you might try to contact Steam since you bought the DLC from them. I'd personally refund and rebuy the Jets DLC just cause.

[woven latch]

yeah this might be an option i guess...

[scarlet path]

you pretty much tried everything else you can do imo

or you tag Dwarden or the BIMinions for help since they won't react without being tagged. idk

[woven latch]

i thought about refunding the DLC and purchase it at the DEV Site directly, maybe this could fix this issue, not sure. Strange thing is that im not the only one facing this issue

[woven latch]

@tiny imp maybe you got an idea?

Refund got denied, Steam said i used the DLC for 9 hours... I was not able to use it for one minute! So im owning a DLC that i can't use

I apologise if this the wrong section but is anyone familar with this? [jay_vehicle_list] It showed up in connection with one of my player's getting banned and I'm trying to confirm whether or not it was a deliberate attempt to cheat

A google search only seemed to link to various hack sites/forums but there was nothing concrete

[tiny imp]

@scarlet path the more highlight gets abused the more people disable it in it's client then someone request to be removed from group and in the end it gets disabled for all

@woven latch refunds and issues with store/buys shall go to our support (steam ones to steam support), our support can take up to several days to answer (depends on amount of issues at time)

[scarlet path]

I mean I totally understand that you shouldn't tag the devs for every thing you have and ask the community first but this issue was rather specific and can only be solved by official support. I was just trying to communicate that this isn't necessarily read by devs. some people expect that when joining this discord.

[desert isle]

My .02, the user had already received instructions from "official support", so there was no need to post here. (Personal opinion)

[woven latch]

...instructions that didn't help

[neat mica]

@CeeZee Your post on the steam forum doesn't say you cannot enter the jets, just that you're getting the banner appear, is that correct?

Since that suggests the DLC is working, just that there's a bug with the banner

if you didn't have the DLC you wouldn't be able to get in the new jets without scripting tricks

You'd be able to place one in the editor and spawn into it though. ^

[uneven python]

So been having an issue with zeus placed AI for the past month now, getting kind annoying. When AI are placed via zeus sometimes they will magically stop being simulated at all. Deleting them from zeus just removes the entity control while the model is still there doing what ever it last did, such as walking in place or standing with no ambient animation. This will slowly happen to more and more AI as time goes on until all placed AI are just glitched out and broked, as if someone toggled simulation on them. Restarting or picking a new mission will not fix the issue, it will keep happening until a restart or two of the entire server and then it will be fine for a few hours and then it'll start happening again. No errors popup and afaik there isn't anything in the logs about it. list of mods being used: https://ddca3.com/repos/MainOps/

[hollow umbra]

@uneven python why don't you start your problem solving process off by disabling ASR AI first and testing from there? And so on....

[uneven python]

because rebuilding the repo over and over would be a huge pain in the ass which would be unneeded if someone else had already had this issue and solved it

if no one here has a solution that's probably what I'll have to do

and since it's so inconsistent with when it happens it would be hard to tell when it's fixed

cause there is no actual error or anything as much as I can see

[hollow umbra]

@uneven python this just sounds like something that everyone else has no idea what to do about, it's the AI modification mods.

And who is to say you cant just open a test editor mission and run tests without ASR AI ?

[uneven python]

was just a shot in the dark to see if anyone had a solution ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[south drum]

why i can't change group name from Alpha 1-1 to my name

[scarlet path]

edit the mission template in the editor

[brazen nimbus]

okay i think i got a solution but ima ask in here is there a fix for the steam ticket check timed out

i made firewall exceptions

and rules

#Fr4Ged it didnt work although i was in the game for a longer time

@scarlet path it didnt work

thanks for the suggestion tho

[rigid umbra]

Any idea how to force the server.exe to use a specified port set by me? i have -port=2402 in the start.bat but this appears to not be working

[fading pulsar]

-port=2402 should work

[rigid umbra]

It isnt working, let me try a restart again

[fading pulsar]

Put -port=2402 at the start of the bat, right behind the exe location

start A:\Arma\arma3server_x64.exe -port=2302 "-con

[rigid umbra]

Started working when i defined the ip too

[brazen nimbus]

no suggestions for my issue ?

steam signature check timed out

on every server i try to play on

[keen viper]

help;((
my vsync suddenly dont work ingame. i tries with nvidia controlpanel and vsync fast and ingame. both don work anymore. they worked yesterday though....

[scarlet path]

you can reset you nvidia setting in the control panel for a start

[keen viper]

nonluck:(

[scarlet path]

you can set a program specific setting in the nvidia system panel. maybe you have a setting for arma that unknowingly overwrites your global settings?

[keen viper]

no i checked the global settings for arma its all like it should be

[scarlet path]

global settings will be overridden by game specific settings. that is what I was trying to say. I am also not too sure if you should use vsync for arma at all. for 60fps vsync it would drop below that rate really fast. for 30fps you'd lose a lot of frames.

[keen viper]

i figured it out, it was the new windows game mode. just had to uncheck the new game panel mode. Thanks windows for wasting 2 hours of my life by enabling new features without notice i never wanted in the first place 😡😡😡

thanks alot for your help,!!! @scarlet path

[safe scarab]

Hey all, I have problem which is really hard to solve. This problem is named STATUS_HEAP_CORRUPTION. It crashes my game when I play in 1 server like 30 mins or 15 mins. It actually depends on gametype/mission file.In roleplay servers sometimes I can play 2 hours without getting this error but sometimes I can get this error within 15 minutes. I think it depends on shooting (firefights).

In KOTH my game crashes every sing 15 mins but in Wasteland (sandbox) it crashes 50 mins or 1 hour after I join server.

I couldnt find any solutions about this I hope you guys can help me with this problem because this is hard problem to solve

So does anyone else have a problem at high population server times where jets/choppers seem to freeze up for a few seconds while flying?

[cursive furnace]

STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN?? why does this appear now?....starting to get this crash lately... 😵

freezing jets could happen because of lagswitch user...we see more of it now @rigid umbra

[rigid umbra]

@cursive furnace No, because it happens to me and all my admins too.

[rigid umbra]

Okay so here's the problem, People are freezing in mid-air when flying. When they fly towards the edge of the map as soon as they hit it, people freeze. It's beginning to detur people away from my servers and i can't figure it out for the life of me.

Can anyone help me?

[quaint jewel]

@upbeat stirrup No. Because no one knows what you want

[upbeat stirrup]

I was waiting till someone responds firstly

[quaint jewel]

There are 1943 people online here. If you ask something someone will answer. Unless it's a dumb question ^^

[upbeat stirrup]

My Arma 3 launches fine when I launch it through steam but when I launch it for the Arma 3 Launcher Arma 3 opens but it just gets stuck on the screen that says Arma 3

I've waited 20 minutes now and I just closed it

Restarted my PC as well

[quaint jewel]

Well.. You have sooome Startparamter or Sooome Mod active in A3Launcher that keeps it from starting.

[upbeat stirrup]

Thanks for helping

[quaint jewel]

Best just check all mods/startparameter and disable one after the other till it works

[pulsar idol]

do titans no longer produce beeping sound wwhile locking?

[scarlet path]

they still do

[pulsar idol]

ah, had radio sound lowered

[upbeat stirrup]

Guys do in the A3 launcher I clicked install on all the mods (ik stupid thing) it was pretty confusing and I thought I would need them all but now I dont know how to stop the downloads

Anyone know how to?

[novel swallow]

close a3launcher.exe

the third party launcher? or the vanilla BI launcher

[upbeat stirrup]

I have both them open

but when I close A3 launcher and reopen it it continues to download stopping me from joining servers

using the A3 server list

[cursive furnace]

STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN?? why does this appear now?....starting to get this crash lately... 😵

[lone raven]

Anyone else here using a X52 Pro? I'm having trouble with the Rudder input on my stick. It seems like the input is halfed somehow. When taxing I have to use A and D to navigate.

[tired lion]

anyone know hot to prevent the squad xml image from having an invisible background?

[fading pulsar]

@tired lion Give it a background then?

@lone raven Make sure the X52 analog inputs are the only ones there, remove the others

[tired lion]

yeah i did, i think i didint delete it right from the cache in appdata

went in and did it again and it worked

[lone raven]

I did already, but its still the same

[fading pulsar]

Can you send a screenshot of the binding?

[lone raven]

ill ping you later

Anyone using Dxtory whos overlay doesnt/didnt work in Arma recently?... 😫

Mine has been working fine for two years until the last windows update and now it doesnt work with arma...

[robust solar]

me and my friend live in different time zones and when i host a server he cant join, he just gets connecting failed and when he hosts i get connecting failed too, can anyone help?

[upbeat stirrup]

Anyone know why I can join wasteland servers in A3 launcher but not Altis life servers?

I have all the downloaded files for it

but when I try to play on a Altis life server Im stuck in the Arma 3 loading screen

[desert isle]

Old versions of mods maybe? It was an issue with a few of them.

[half notch]

Kinda unrelated to arma, but i have troubles with my Photoshop. it worked fine before, but now all I get is a process when I try to run it and nothing else happens. I tried reinstalling it, installing newer PS version trial, reinstalling graphic drivers, running as admin and I even restarted my PC.
I really don't feel like reinstalling the whole system to get this one working.
WIn 7 64bit with PS CS6 and CC2015

[half notch]

Something buggered .net framework, after reinstalling that one PS works again

[cold reef]

I'm having odd crashes since the jets update where arma will ctd, leave a process running that is unable to be killed by windows (access denied) and then pretty much starts locking up everything, unable to reboot with /f either, it will just hang and sit there.

there will be an 'arma3_x64.exe' still running in the process list but with no childs like it should have.

[merry ocean]

Quick question: What would cause my bipods to stop working mid-game?

[brazen hornet]

Hello. I got a new pc recently and downloaded Arma on it. I got ready to play but when i join, all of my progress is gone. My rank in koth is gone. Basically it hasnt logged me in i guess. But my profile is connected to steam, and when i join a unit on the official website it shows up in the game too, but all my things in koth is gone.

[scarlet path]

you might ask the guys in the Koth discord. you can find it in #channel_invites_list
My guess is that you should have saved your profile manually but better ask them over there

[quaint jewel]

@brazen hornet If they store your progress in your Profile. Which they did about a year ago. You should've copied your profile to your new PC.

[novel swallow]

@brazen hornet copy Documents/Arma 3 - Other Profiles/ProfileName to new comp

you just ask right away

[potent birch]

do you know how to unlock ports in your router?

I have no clue how to set this up

http://i.imgur.com/8C4UUmC.png

[scarlet path]

it really depends on the router you are using

[potent birch]

ffs

I called tech support

and they said they dont know either xD

[scarlet path]

it is port 2302-2305 using the UDP protocol

I dont know what "device" means in your routers context but just add all those ports for internal and external and you should be good

[slim gorge]

i keep crashing... it sais failed to refrence memory
then when it crashes it sais exit code status access violation

can anyone help me with this?

[fading pulsar]

@potent birch If you'd like I could try help with em

this is what I know but when i try tu unlock 27900 it says that my firewall blocks this port

[fierce bloom]

@potent birch are you putting 27900 in source or destination?

[potent birch]

okey i figured it out

if anyone has same problem

[quaint jewel]

Well. Steam is somewhat offline https://steamstat.us/ Shouldn't influence Arma tho

[restive grail]

OK so I am getting a weird problem...
I'm in the 3den Editor, I click 'Play in Multiplayer' and none of the player slots show up in the lobby. There should be 130 player slots, but everything is blank...
I back out of the lobby 3 times, click 'Play in Multiplayer' the 4th time, and the slots suddenly appear as they should
worrisome at best
the player slots always appear on the 4th try

im gonna have someone else test it out later, on their server. Just posting here to see if maybe someone else has seen this problem
its just plain weird
I was having this issue before the Malden update was released

[robust solar]

you need to make the Units in the editor playable

then they show up

[quaint jewel]

I back out of the lobby 3 times, click 'Play in Multiplayer' the 4th time, and the slots suddenly appear as they should worrisome at best
@robust solar They are playable. On the 4th try

@restive grail Check RPT for errors

[restive grail]

well the mission is up on the server and the player slots appear to be functioning as normal. We'll see for certain when we try to play the mission later on tonight

[lapis valley]

Can someone please help me. This problem started out of nowhere recently

arma 3 server config: some input after endoffile

[lapis valley]

Yes

It started happening out of nowhere

@desert isle Do you know why this is happening?

[lunar sequoia]

you probably have a misplaced closebracket/semicolon someplace, do a syntax check on your file.

hey guys! I have a question about my arma. Recently my graphics card has died, and I've been using my integrated to suffice. It's worked surprisingly well and I was able to play exile with my friends. Well for some reason now I get severe lag and stuttering in any part of arma, even the menu. Any thoughts?

Trying to add dependencies to a steam workshop mod, but it doesnt seem to be working, I was under the assumption it had to go in requiredAddons in the config ?

[fading pulsar]

@brave verge no

It's done on the workshop mod page, right side, add dependencies

Well, that's the way to get em to show on the page that they're needed

[brave verge]

Yeah, thanks 😄 Just found it as you said it, not much to go on by googleing int, only a little bit of documentation on bis wiki

[gloomy frigate]

hey uh for some reason there's no sound at all, does anyone know how to fix it?

[frank hinge]

is there a fix for fps drop cause of muzzle flash?

[scarlet path]

use a supressor

[frank hinge]

if an enemy doesn't use it is 0 fps

[gloomy frigate]

so no one knows how to fix the sound issue?

ok

[fallow remnant]

you didn't give much details

no one can fix something without knowing what's broken

[hollow umbra]

@gloomy frigate have you even tried messing with windows audio mixer? Playaback device? Restart arma 3? The details are in the cake

[wise barn]

headset or soundcard -> internal or external soundcard...?
drivers up to date (not just audio, also video)?

headset: 2ch stereo or surround (5.1, 7.1, real or simulated)?

32bit or 63bit?

os: win7, 8, 8.1, 10?

[pale wedge]

So, I've just recently moved, and my Port Forwarding won't work. I've port forwarded my new IP and all that, but it still won't work. It's annoying because I normally host Arma 3 for me and a group of friends, but I also can't even join Arma 3 servers anymore. Anyone have a fix?

[chrome current]

try turning on upnp

or DMZ as a next-to-final resort

[hollow umbra]

@chrome current DMZ should be absolutely final resort, especially if it's a public game

[chrome current]

final resort is unplugging the router and going PC > modem =p

[gloomy frigate]

@hollow umbra Yes I have. I also verified the files on steam.

[lapis valley]

Hello everyone!

I am currently trying to port foward my server but it is not working at all.

I am opening the ports: 2302, 2302

Do anyone know how this can be fixet

[gloomy frigate]

@wise barn Headset

drivers are up to date

2ch stereo

64 bit

windows 10

[scarlet path]

@lapis valley should be port 2302 to 2305

[keen lion]

Heey, is arma 3 only sopost to run on 1 core? I have tried all the guides I can find online, nothing is helping me :/

[cedar abyss]

It pretty much is.

[keen lion]

I guess i'll just drop arma again then -.-

[fading pulsar]

I see arma using all 4 cores on my pc 🤔

[keen lion]

It's only using 1 on my i7 5820k and only using that one 70% -.-

[fading pulsar]

I'll have to actually recheck if mine's using them or task manager is just stoopid, I'm pretty sure I've seen them all get used but I haven't played recently

[keen lion]

But no mather what, i'm going to drop arma if I can't get it to use more, not even the support can help me -.-

[fading pulsar]

Check the parameters in the launcher and just use whatever looks like it might be handy 😂

[keen lion]

I have tried them all -.-

[fading pulsar]

hmm

Arma's just one of those games that weird but weird

[sage dirge]

I think he is doing something wrong

[keen lion]

Please tell me what! 😄

[sage dirge]

how should I know

I cant see what youre doing

[keen lion]

I can tell you that I have done everything I can think of, and what all guides on the net tell me to do

[sage dirge]

that does help me not at all

[fading pulsar]

@sage dirge Suggest something and he'll probably of done it already

[keen lion]

What would you like to know? I have tried setting the cpu parameters both in the launcher and in the launch options

And running both arma and steam as amdmin

[sage dirge]

http://prntscr.com/fnxk5i
Its german but I think you still know what settings are the one you need

[fading pulsar]

I already suggested

And he's replied he did em 😂

[keen lion]

Yes... Done that a million times, with all sorts of numbers

[sage dirge]

maybe reinstall the game?

[keen lion]

I have reinstalled my pc -.-

[sage dirge]

did you install correct drivers for your gpu and cpu?

[keen lion]

Yes

[sage dirge]

How do you even know that ArmA is not using all cores?

[keen lion]

And I have serched for updates, and tired the one before the latest

That's my cpu use ingame https://gyazo.com/94e06d3d2946ac13a9ec68449ff00c3d

[sage dirge]

It would help to know what the screenshot should tell me

[keen lion]

And tahts not what the games uses but what my pc is using

Look at the top right.... You see 12 numbers ending in % that's each thread of my cpu

[sage dirge]

you mean top left

[keen lion]

Yes sorry

[sage dirge]

so you tell me your cpu has more then 8 cores?

[keen lion]

Nope... It -ø

It's a 6 cored hyper threaded cpu

Its a I 7 5820k look it op

[sage dirge]

maybe try to give the game only 4 and not 6

[fading pulsar]

Maybe arma is just too good?

😛

[keen lion]

As I told you, I have tried with all kinds of numbers -.-

[sage dirge]

well do you have bad performance?

[keen lion]

30 fps bad yes

[fading pulsar]

Set the core affinity to two in task manager and see what happens 🤔

[sage dirge]

30 fps isnt bad

[fading pulsar]

30s is normal ;-;

for me 😄

[sage dirge]

30 fps is above average XD

[keen lion]

30 fps is bad as hel! When I got so much more How it can use!!

[fading pulsar]

This reminds me of a friend, he won't play arma because he doesn't get tripple digits

[keen lion]

I can live with 60+

[sage dirge]

well I think you die then

[fading pulsar]

I can live with 30 🤔

[keen lion]

Well I could to, if the reason for only getting 30 was that the game is maxing my Hw but its not even trying to do that-.-

[fading pulsar]

I still get nice 30s even if I only give it two cores, til a big tank fight but yeee

[scarlet path]

Arma isn't really the game for you if you are one of those performance hungry guys. the engine is rather old and isn't really supporting multiple cores. the game still is fun. lower your view- and objectdistance to gain FPS.

[sage dirge]

yes

[keen lion]

I get less fps if I but things on low

[scarlet path]

you don't need to lower things like texture quality. just the render distance. no need for 4 km if you are on foot for example

[sage dirge]

yup

[keen lion]

Yes I know, but still the same

[scarlet path]

were you achieving the 30fps in that benchmark or in regular gameplay?

[keen lion]

Both

[scarlet path]

on a private server with your group and a nicely coded mission you'll easily get your 60 FPS. Koth is a different story.

[keen lion]

But I'm not playing arma for the mission part

[sage dirge]

for what then?

Altis Life?

[keen lion]

Yes

Mostly

At least I thing that's the name of it, not completely sure

[scarlet path]

altis life shouldnt be that taxing for your performance, should it? there is no AI which is the biggest issue imo.

[sage dirge]

You think you will achieve more then 30 FPS on a game mode with over hundrets of scripts running and over hundrets of players playing at the same time?

[scarlet path]

since you are on a i7 k you could overclock it. single core clock rate improves your frames a lot.

[keen lion]

The servers I'm playing os is around 40-50 players

My cpu is clocked from 3 to 4,4

[scarlet path]

oh, then you are set.

look for a better scripted server then lol

[keen lion]

Is on alle the servers I have tried joining (10+)

Same fps on all of them

[sage dirge]

in big citys or in general?

[keen lion]

General

[scarlet path]

I guess the Life missions are overloaded with scripts and stuff then. I never touched that mode.

[fading pulsar]

@keen lion CPU - Intel Core i7 5820K 4,3 GHz Motherboard - MSI X99 GAMING M7 GPU - MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB SEA HAWK EK X RAM - 32GB Corsair VENGEANCE LED 3000MHz PSU - Be quiet! 1200w DARK POWER SSD (OS) - Samsung EVO 840 250GB SSD (Spil) - Samsung 960 EVO 500GB SSD (PS+AE) - Intel 250GB HDD (Data) - 750 GB Kabinet - Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV ATX GLASS

these your specs?

[keen lion]

Its the same fps in severs as in a benchmark as an example

[scarlet path]

1080ti damn...

[keen lion]

Yes tahts my ps 😄

Pc*

[sage dirge]

lol how did he list those so nicly up

[fading pulsar]

I'm jelly

[keen lion]

I gave the cpu 0,1 more so its a 4,4 now

[scarlet path]

having Arma on your SSD would help with stuttering as well

[fading pulsar]

like magic, I don't know | :'D

[keen lion]

I think he took them form my twitch 😉

[gloomy frigate]

i hate the low fps aswell

[fading pulsar]

Shshshshshsh 😜

[keen lion]

Its on my Samsung 960 EVO 500GB

[gloomy frigate]

i easily get 50 - 60 fps on singleplayer but on mp it's awful

20 - 30 fps in cities, sometimes even lower

[fading pulsar]

I rarely get 60s but some servers, I do

[scarlet path]

yeah, but a SSD should still be faster. the game is constantly loading textures and shit so you should go for the fastest drive you have.

[fading pulsar]

But it's on an SSD..

[gloomy frigate]

the engine is just crap, there's no fix

[fading pulsar]

🤔

[keen lion]

Its the farstes drive in my pc-.- its a m.2 ssd FailFish

[sage dirge]

CPU - AMD A10-7870K
Motherboard - MSI A88XM-E35 V2
GPU - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4G
RAM - 16 GB DDR3
HDD - 1TB

[scarlet path]

nvm, didn't realize the 960 EVO was a SSD

[sage dirge]

that are my specs

[fading pulsar]

ew AMD

[sage dirge]

and I think I can run the game sometimes even at 40 FPS XD

[gloomy frigate]

lol

[sage dirge]

Intel is overpriced bs

[fading pulsar]

gawd it's AMD

[gloomy frigate]

i've got an i7 2600k it's old-ish but not bad at all

[scarlet path]

the quad core Intels are still the best in my opinion. way better than those old AMDs

[fading pulsar]

I've got a sweet ole I5 3570k that's handled everything I've thrown at it

[gloomy frigate]

not overclocked, but i think it can go up to 4.8 ghz

or 4.7 don't really remember

i should OC both my GPU and CPU but im scared to do it lol

[scarlet path]

you should OC that one, hex. I overclocked my i7 3770k to 4.3GHz. help a ton.

GPUs are way more fragile to OC

[sage dirge]

I could overclock mine too but my cooling is not good enough :/

[keen lion]

Yes a quadcore is better for gaming for sure, you got more clock speed, but this is bether for streaing, I got 2 cores more and almose the same clock speed as an 7700k stock got 😄

[gloomy frigate]

yeah, im afraid of fucking up my gpu while oc-ing

[keen lion]

As long as you don't got a pacal GPU its easy to OC them 😉

[scarlet path]

you can't really compare clock speed per se but yeah, overclocking a top level Intel is great for gaming

[fading pulsar]

I don't wanna OC my GPU just because I don't know what the limits might be and I'm a little lazy to google them 🤔

[keen lion]

As a tiatn or a 1080TI

I know it's not all abut clock speed

[scarlet path]

my mate was running his 2600k at around 4.3 or 4.2 without any real increases in temperature. you should try it out, stress test it for a couple of minutes while monitoring and you should be good. I wouldnt recommend overclocking a stock GPU though.

[sage dirge]

The highest overclocking record was made using an AMD FX-8350 with 8794.33 Mhz --> ~8Ghz

[fading pulsar]

I bet it was cooled with liquid nitrogen

[sage dirge]

it was

[scarlet path]

yeah, but less threads and handles than modern CPUs I'd guess.

[sage dirge]

How else would you cool that thing XD

[fading pulsar]

I mean, it'd be good for arma as it's probably a cheap ish price, liquid nitrogen might be a little pain to get but what could go wrong? 😂

[sage dirge]

You got water or just an aio?

[fading pulsar]

AIO

[keen lion]

That's not water cooling! 😄

I'm jelly of your build still

And it's truly not 😂

He has a pc I could dream of, still he plays life game modes :/

btw we should switch to another channel like #offtopic_hardware since this isnt about troubleshooting anymore

I thought about saying we've, uh, gone just a little off topic

is it only me or has malden really bad fps?

[scarlet path]

when opened in the editor it is really smooth. the wasteland server I've played on was almost unplayable though.

[fringe salmon]

I was able to play perfectly fine.

With 12k view distance

[scarlet path]

do you want to apply for that canadian sniper team? lol

[fringe salmon]

I was just replicating the shot after I heard about it haha 😉

[scarlet path]

what was the range?

[fringe salmon]

I show it at the end in the debug console: 3,454.3 meters

Look at my previous 4 shots and where they went @scarlet path https://gyazo.com/d4300b7d276080655639620de879f874

Over the shoulder and between the legs! 😂

[scarlet path]

Nice. Now do it with ACE :P

[fringe salmon]

Been maybe a year or two since I've played with ACE. Will have to give it a shot.

I have a left handed .338 Win Mag that I've taken to a long distance shooting range before and was able to hit something at 1,000m and that was tough.

Thinking about 3.5k is insane.

[scarlet path]

I've shot the G36 loaded 5.56mm at 600m. Was almost not possible even though the weapon was rested at sandbags or something lile that. Would love to shoot a DMR or sniper rifle

[fringe salmon]

It's quite fun.

[molten raft]

Hello,I've got a problem
we just got a new box. and now most of our players can't seem to find the server
even with direct connect, they can't see the server

[fading pulsar]

Then redo the port forwarding rules?

[quaint jewel]

No. Firewall is disabled.

[mellow spear]

can't find server is always firewall

[north cypress]

Sup lads. I hope you like enigmas and random freezes.
So, we are running Altis Life (whoops my bad) with an HC. We are experiencing random freezes (not crashes), under heavy load, +170 players. The main process starts to tops 100% CPU Usage and freezes (kicking all clients and going back to low CPU usage).
• Long list of things we tried because we are not that dumb :

• No log errors
• Server FPS does not matter (can crash with 30 or 5)
• Server still answers commands (wtf right ?)
• Debugging FPS count & script count still show average values
• netlog does not show anything special
• Network consumption is normal
• Tested few basics configs

I hope I did not forgot any details. Thanks in advance for any help provided even if I do'nt think there is much to do.
Maybe some kind of troll spawing hundreds of loops on the server lol ?

[quaint jewel]

@north cypress https://feedback.bistudio.com/T124802 maybe
The 100% CPU load symptom wasn't observed yet though

[north cypress]

Well "more than 50 players", It starts from +150 on our server

Also woried there was no answer from BI in 2 months

[chilly snow]

http://i.imgur.com/Db0tm6P.png this kick

[north cypress]

I remembered talking about that with other life creators on this Discord but the global answer was "It's Arma and there is nothing you can do execpt optimizing your stuff"

[fringe salmon]

Does it matter the number of players?

[north cypress]

@quaint jewel Ok my bad just saw the issue involves one of the guys I talked with

@fringe salmon Around 140

It can hold 170 players for hours

Or just crash at 140

[chilly snow]

with 30 fps server*

[lethal marlin]

This afternoon with 170 players fulltime we nearly had no crashes, this everning with 150-170, at least 3 or 4 crashes in a row...

[fringe salmon]

What happens if you cap it at 100

[north cypress]

If we cap the number of players we obviously wont have crashes

But we need those slots tbh

[fringe salmon]

Ok, what's the hardware? Does it gradually creep to 100% usage or what?

[north cypress]

i7700k, ssd, enought ram to feed african misery

It only tops to 100% when it crashes

[lethal marlin]

we never reach 100% until the process goes mad

[chilly snow]

this one : Intel i7-7700K - 4c/8t - 4,2 GHz/4,5 GHz

[fringe salmon]

Nice. I see.

What does it normalize at?

[chilly snow]

at now, for 140 players

http://i.imgur.com/NHaUhaj.png

[north cypress]

80-85%

[chilly snow]

the max is 85/90%

[north cypress]

As a server hoster do you run into such problems ?

[lethal marlin]

the peaks at 100% are happening so fast they aren't even recorded on the graphs, but they're happening anyway...

[chilly snow]

and the graph with 25h : http://i.imgur.com/QRLRg5o.png

You can see the crashs x)

[fringe salmon]

Typically clients that are running large player bases use dedicated servers which are self managed. So I don't particularly hear about it.

[north cypress]

Understadable

[fringe salmon]

Does it spike the usage as soon as it starts to go haywire?

[north cypress]

Yeah

[lethal marlin]

yeah exactly

[fringe salmon]

Any idea of malicious intent from a player?

170 players is a lot of variables to take into account.

[north cypress]

Yeah that why I though too but we have no way to tell if it's indeed an actual player

[lethal marlin]

we have no idea, we have no traces, no indications from that, but it ain't impossible

[fringe salmon]

How many HC's?

[north cypress]

Only one

Managing DB stuff

Still need to move scripts

[fringe salmon]

Ok. And if you don't run one?

Which process spikes, server or HC?

[lethal marlin]

server

[north cypress]

I honestly think it's network related

[fringe salmon]

Care to share the basic cfg?

[chilly snow]

basic here : http://i.imgur.com/kIie0yq.png

[north cypress]

Could it be a packet buildup or something that Arma couldn't handle ?

[chilly snow]

i try many options with MinBandwidth and other ... this same

[fringe salmon]

What is your max ping limit?

[chilly snow]

400ms

i try to reduce with 250/300 but is same

[fringe salmon]

Ok. Just checking out the basic

[chilly snow]

The basic is really important ?

[fringe salmon]

For network performance it can kill a server.

[north cypress]

Ikr

But it can only cause desync

[chilly snow]

yes i see x) you have an idea for better basic ?

[north cypress]

Not really crashing a whole fucking server

[chilly snow]

(sorry for my english, really ..)

[short sun]

We understand you Hugo ❤

[fringe salmon]

Well. From the wiki:

MinBandwidth = 131072;            // Bandwidth the server is guaranteed to have (in bps). This value helps server to estimate bandwidth available. Increasing it to too optimistic values can increase lag and CPU load, as too many messages will be sent but discarded. Default: 131072

So if it is increasing CPU load to 100%, then it has to start kicking people first to bring the usage back down.

[north cypress]

Well the thing is it crashes entirely, not starting to drop out packets / kicking ppl

[fringe salmon]

You said it freezes but doesn't crash.

[north cypress]

yeah right

But clients cannot reconnect

My bad

[fringe salmon]

So it breaks it and never recovers.

[north cypress]

It breaks but not crashes

[fringe salmon]

But freezes permenantly and doesn't allow any connections?

[north cypress]

But the process is still answering commands

yeah

[lethal marlin]

the server does not crashes but the players are kicked out (client not responding) and can't reconnect

[short sun]

load to 100% -> Kick everyone -> Back to normal but nobody can join

[fringe salmon]

I see.

[north cypress]

Weird

Right ?

I was totaly ok with an error on the basic.cfg if only clients could connect again

[fringe salmon]

Well. I know BISim works with VBS3 and handles upwards of 200 clients. So they should have some sort of insight into handling these large player counts.

[north cypress]

Well it is softcapped to 225 players afaik

[fringe salmon]

But BIS != BISim. And yes, correct.

Does it continue to write anything to RPT or no?

Stupid question

[short sun]

Yes

[lethal marlin]

to be precise : 100% load = freezes all players and activity IG -> clients timeout -> no one can (re)connect but the server still responds

[fringe salmon]

And do you run ASM (Arma Server Monitor)?

[north cypress]

We do not run any monitoring tool except Arma Remote Admin

[lethal marlin]

ok no, players can reconnect, but they are stuck to the lobby, they can't load the mission again

(sry we got infos bit by bit)

[north cypress]

(Sorry for missing infos but I did not had them all at the time :p)

[fringe salmon]

What is the functionality in the lobby? Nothing happens when they click ok? Or they freeze on getting mission?

[short sun]

(Sorry our admin is not precise*)

[north cypress]

Useful info: HC is not kicked

[fringe salmon]

I would try running ASM and see if it gives off any red flags.

[lethal marlin]

it loads the mission with a black screen and you can't do anything in game, we've never really been further tbh

[fringe salmon]

https://forums.bistudio.com/forums/topic/146822-arma-server-monitor-very-small-but-useful/

[north cypress]

Was not ASM a canceled project ?

[chilly snow]

http://i.imgur.com/4cumkQA.png the pic is after crashs

[fringe salmon]

It still works... But have you've tried the normal (delete mission in mpmissioncache) and downloading then loading in? Is it a script making a black screen or Arma (likely not arma)

[north cypress]

Clients are timed out by Battleye again

[fringe salmon]

Server FPS isn't the only thing that matters, so I would suggest using ASM for more detailed information.

[north cypress]

Yeah right

[fringe salmon]

Especially when dealing with "network" related issues it seems.

[lethal marlin]

we'll need to check that out

[north cypress]

Do you have one of the lastest ASM versions ?

Seems the lastest links are dead

[fringe salmon]

I would start with that. Also, if you load in with a black screen, can you hear things and move? Do you have access to debug?

[lethal marlin]

we've never really been this far 'cause we can only have these issues on our "production" server and we didn't wan't to impact our players

but we'll need to test that

[fringe salmon]

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=21436

[north cypress]

dead / 20

[fringe salmon]

Let me look, may have it somewhere around here

Plenty of results: https://www.google.com/search?q=github+arma+server+monitor&oq=github+arma+server+monitor&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i64.4649j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

[north cypress]

Yeah thanks got an updated repo

[fringe salmon]

Well I would do some troubleshooting during the freeze phase. Try to join and access debug (as an effected player)

See if you can hear things and run around

Even if you can't see. Then try and run a local command in debug to clear the black screen

Because I know altis life blacks out the screen before loading stuff.

[north cypress]

You're right. Huge thank you bud. Appreciate it. We'll keep everyone updated in case we find something useful

👍

[short sun]

So we wait for the next crash, and we try to reconnect to see :

• When the mission loading stops
• Is the player initialized
• Check what happends next

[fringe salmon]

Yes. Try deleting the mpmissioncache before joining one time.

[short sun]

And check what ARM tells us

[lethal marlin]

Thanks a lot bud, we'll keep you in touch, it's really a pain in the ass...

[fringe salmon]

See if re-downloading the mission helps.

See if restarting the client helps.

Check some things in debug variable watcher too, see if anything is even running mission side or if you're just bugged to the moon

And do you guys run Battleye Extended Controls? It may give more detailed information since it does say battleye kick after all.

Just some ideas. Gotta grab some dinner. Have fun.

[north cypress]

We are using Arma Remote Admin from Maverick for BE related stuff

[fringe salmon]

Bon appétit Dude !

[lethal marlin]

Like we say bon appétit

[fringe salmon]

🕺 👍

[north cypress]

Thanks a lot 👍

[chilly snow]

@fringe salmon we need to use a 32 bits version for asm ?

[fringe salmon]

@chilly snow Oh ya. I forgot about that. I am going to guess yes. I don't think it is a x64 bit dll.

Maybe I will make one of my own lol

[strong crane]

Hi all

Is this an appropriate place to see if anyone can find my server in the server browser? I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask.

[fringe salmon]

@strong crane Are the ports on your firewall open?

[strong crane]

@fringe salmon yup I opened 2302 & 2303 in Windows firewall via a new rule. I have also forwarded the ports via my router. Started a hosted session and then used the ARMA launcher to search for my server. The server was found but I'm not 100% sure that the rest of the Internet can see it because when I use open port checker tools online both 2302 & 2303 appear to be closed.

[fringe salmon]

Open 2302 to 2305

[untold sequoia]

I host servers for my mates regularly and http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ always tells me that ports 2302 through 2305 are closed for some reason. Still works though.

[strong crane]

@untold sequoia well that's promising news! And that's the exact tool that I've been using. Thanks for the tip.

@fringe salmon I will open the additional ports. Thanks for the tip!

[fierce bloom]

@strong crane arma uses UDP for those ports. Port checkers cannot test UDP because it doesn't confirm data sent, only TCP does

[strong crane]

@fierce bloom I did not know that! I'm not just having fun playing games, I'm learning all sorts of stuff too! Thanks.

[fierce bloom]

Have you ever been able to join a server?

[cold escarp]

yup ive had the game since alpha

[desert isle]

and never any problem before that?

[cold escarp]

nope used to be able to play life mods etc then one day it just stopped letting me join out of nowhere

[desert isle]

have you by chance used @ sthud?

[cold escarp]

never heard of it, what is it?

unless

[desert isle]

Shack tac hud ( its like a radar thing bottom middle of the screen)

[cold escarp]

it was in a life server i play

played*

cause usually use tge sync and i wouldnt know the mod list they use

but i dont think so

[desert isle]

sthud has caused problems in the past exactly like that, but only with outdated versions. It "may" be possible that its somehow still being loaded, especially if its in the wrong location.

[cold escarp]

i doubt it since i wiped the game and manually deleted every folder before telling steam to uninstall it

i even went to the %appdata% folders

[desert isle]

Sometimes mods end up in strange places. Mine are in documents.

[cold escarp]

ill double check

[desert isle]

just search STHUD in explorer (just in case)

[cold escarp]

searching entire PC now

i remember a few years back i did have a problem like that cause one of the mods for something small like some police weapons was hidden somewhere

but nope No items match your search

[desert isle]

hmm

is it only on Tanoa?

[cold escarp]

nope every map on any server

even BI offical servers

just shows the tanoa map on loading cause i have apex enabled

[desert isle]

let me check something

[cold escarp]

i tried play with all DLCs disabled aswell ]

[desert isle]

Do you use the built in launcher?

[cold escarp]

yeah ive tried launching from arma sync before

i havent tried the exe though i dont think ill try niw

https://gyazo.com/7a5ea45a7e5fca8bee67c3f3c85c9a62

just the usual

[desert isle]

if you open the Arma launcher and look at Loaded Mods or Available Mods, are there any? If so, click on the down arrow (on the right) then click the 3 dots " ... " , then "open folder in Windows Explorer". Where do they live?

[cold escarp]

https://gyazo.com/a8e962dc39efbe484cdf9b5bec033da8

empty

[desert isle]

Damn, that is odd. I'll ask around for you.

[cold escarp]

thank you, i kinda lost hope really ive spent a week trying to fix it every day

[scarlet path]

well if he is using arma sync and such those mods aren't workshop mods. doesn't that mean that he would have to manually add the folder into the default launcher for the mods to be detected?

[cold escarp]

ive never tried deleting arma sync

and there are definitely no mods for arma 3 on my pc ive manually searched everywhere they could be

[scarlet path]

in the last day I had a similar issue on public servers. I was "stuck" in the pre-lobby loading screen. in the end it just took quite a few seconds/minutes to get any respond. did you try waiting for like 3 minutes?

[cold escarp]

ive waited till i get kicked for idle time

[scarlet path]

hmm okay

[frail herald]

Can someone help me with the latest Malden update?

We are using extDB3 and every since the Malden update we haven't been able to open any doors on any buildings that are not from Arma 3 (CUP, Australian Buildings, etc.) or any custom building.

We don't know what's wrong, but in editor, the doors open fine, but when we load up the server none of the custom modded buildings' doors will open.

any Ideas?

[wraith hornet]

@frail herald
in your spawn script for the custom modded buildings add either one of these lines to do it
Original Arma 3 simulation
_building enableSimulation true;
or new Dynamic Simulation System from December of 2016
_building enableDynamicSimulation true;

[frail herald]

We placed the buildings down in Terrain Builder, we are using the Jackson County Map.

[wraith hornet]

Then are you referring to the Jackson County Buildings that are built into the map itself?

[frail herald]

Well, we have a mixture of both.

But even buildings with enableDynamicSimulation true; that were placed down in the mission file do not work.

In editor and whatnot the doors open fine, but when we load it up in the server, they do not open.

We hear the sound of the door opening, but no animation,

[wraith hornet]

hear the sound of the door opening, but no animation
thats a different outcome than simulation issues

[frail herald]

Any ideas?

[fringe salmon]

anyone know if respawn as a Bird is removed? i cant get it to work

[fringe salmon]

@fringe salmon did u binaryze the mssion.sqm for the 3den version?

[quaint jewel]

But even buildings with enableDynamicSimulation true; that were placed down in the mission file do not work.
You shouldn't use DynamicSimulation nor should you disable Simulation for buildings @frail herald

[wraith hornet]

@quaint jewel a bit of reasoning for your statement would be spectacular

@quaint jewel a bit of reasoning for your statement would be spectacular

@quaint jewel a bit of reasoning for your statement would be spectacular

[quaint jewel]

You shouldn't disable Simulation on Buildings. Because they are Buildings. They basically have no simulation.

It doesn't get you any noticeable benefit but creates problems. For example doors not opening.

[lethal marlin]

Hey @fringe salmon, are you here ?

[fringe salmon]

Yes @lethal marlin ?

[lethal marlin]

Remember our discussion of monday with @north cypress, @chilly snow and @short sun ?

[fringe salmon]

Yes

[lethal marlin]

We had our server full yesterday everning, with even more slots (180 players) the whole evening without any problem

And tonight, 30-40 mins after our reboot, only 150 players, and we had the same crash than before

We tried some investigations but, after the players get kicked, we can only join the lobby and nothing else, we can't connect, load the mission, etc.

And after a bit of time, we're kicked again, with the same symptoms as we told you before (CPU peak, server ping increasing, etc.)...

So, well, we're clearly out of ideas... It seems to happen randomly...

Or at least it isn't predictable

[fringe salmon]

Hmm. Not entirely sure. Did ASM work with x64?

How regular are your reboots?

[faint dawn]

Bandwith checked?

[fringe salmon]

We went over all that the other day

[faint dawn]

Right when it crashed -> Bandwith check?

[lethal marlin]

ASM doesn't work with x64 if I remember correctly

[faint dawn]

I had something similar before with my old Serverhoster, the Bandwith went down to a blurp and ppl got kicked + also: I got kicked pretty often (SigCheck timeout) when my bandwith wasn't high enough (had Inet Problems at that time, Bandwith was ~7-15Kb/s)

[lethal marlin]

We reboot every 6 hours

When it crashed we were at 60Mbps, nothing abnormal (70Mbps the whole yesterday everning w/o any problem)

[faint dawn]

Thats why i said -> Check your Server Bandwith with any Testing Site, when it crashes.

[lethal marlin]

Well, we have our Teamspeak hosted on the same server and it isn't affected, I don't think it's BW related but we'll try...

[faint dawn]

Just a guess, but from what i noticed it could be it. Worth a try anyway, just to rule it out.
+Teamspeak barely uses BW 😛 )

[lethal marlin]

we'll try then, i'll get you both in touch

[chilly snow]

okay, at this moment, actual bw is : http://i.imgur.com/MbbI8bI.png

and we have 50mb/sec in upload for 180 players actually

40-60 mb

[untold raft]

is this the best place to ask for help with my server? I can pay them. Just need some stuff putting on there.

[chilly snow]

yes you can @untold raft 😃

[fading pulsar]

Teamspeak is amazing as you can have 2000ms ping and some packet loss and still talk fine

[lethal marlin]

@faint dawn @fringe salmon before crash (normal) : http://beta.speedtest.net/result/6413359553.png during crash : http://beta.speedtest.net/result/6413390998.png

it looks similar...

[faint dawn]

Yeah :/

You sure that not a script is going mad and updates (send over network) stuff constantly like a turtle on speed?

[fringe salmon]

Maybe, but it should leave some traces in RPT files or something no ?

And why would it only crash in the evening and not during the afternoon when server load is stricly the same ?

Could someone use a weakness in BE to make it mad ?

[mint tusk]

Alright, so I am having consistant issues with U key aka Group Management / Squad thing time after time it bugs out and pressing U does not open menu and I am unable to join squads. I found the problem stems from joining certain slot in (in my case zeus) lobby such as alpha 1-4 joining alpha 1-4 will make it impossible to open the dialog no matter what. Exiting back the lobby and joining different slot such as alpha 1-2 will fix the issue. Zeus lobbies tend to get filled so its pain. I have seen multiple players have this issue and people dicuss it as "aw ya that bug" so is there a fix for this beyond what I am doing?

[smoky snow]

Anyone got a fix for doors not working?

Ever since the recent update my modded buildings haven't worked in a multiplayer environment but seems to work locally

[weak bramble]

@Heisen#9208 Make sure your custom added buildings that have doors etc have _yourbuilding enableSimulationGlobal = true; enabled on them

[smoky snow]

done already.

[crude nacelle]

Hey guys, just moved into a new place here, and ofcourse new router... me and my room mate are having a hard time actually forwarding ports to be able to host our own server on arma. Here's a list of things we've tried.

ROGERS - MODEM - WIRED CONNECTION - MY PC - NOT WORK
ROGERS - MODEM - WIRELESS INTERNET - MY PC - NOT WORK
ROGERS - MODEM - TENDA ROUTER - MY PC - NOT WORK
ROGERS - MODEM - WIRED CONNECTION - MY FRIENDS PC - NOT WORK
ROGERS - MODEM - WIRELESS INTERNET - MY FRIENDS PC - NOT WORK

We've portforwarded on CGNM-3552-ROG Hitron router. 2302-2305 TCP/UDP on all different kinds of Local IP addresses being 192.168.0.12-101

We have NO clue what is going on.

[fading pulsar]

@crude nacelle If you're just hosting from in game, try ticking Upnp, if that doesn't work then you'll def need port forwarding. If you'd like to send a screenshot of the port forwarding page I can have a looksie, if you're on windows 10 you can find the IP address yyou need to forward to under task manager > performance > internet adapter, It'll display the address

[crude nacelle]

Oh right I forgot to post that!

http://i.imgur.com/h2cvsr6.png

Ohhh okay so on my ethernet it says IPv4 Address 192.168.1.101, is that the one I add in the last part? Because my router gets an error saying "Local IP isn't in LAN IP address subnet" When I add the 1 instead of the 0.... :/

[fierce bloom]

What is the IP of the computer hosting the server? If on windows you get this by running the ipconfig command in the command line

@crude nacelle

[crude nacelle]

IPv4 Address 192.168.1.101

@fierce bloom

[fierce bloom]

Okay so then you'd want those ports to point to 192.168.1.101, the local ip in the pic you linked

I see they're pointing to 192.168.0.101

[crude nacelle]

Yeah

It will not let me do 192.168.1.101 though

[fierce bloom]

is the server set to a static IP?

[crude nacelle]

http://i.imgur.com/do2N0G1.png

I even tried that o.o

Tried both dynamic and static

even this remote ip range thing

[fierce bloom]

From the router or the server?

Is the server able to reach the internet?

[crude nacelle]

What do you mean? I'm just trying to host by itself in the multiplayer.

not trying to host a remote server or what ever

[fierce bloom]

So you're gonna be playing in the same house?

[crude nacelle]

Yep

We even tried lan and the servers don't show up bro

Even so, I would like for my friend to join me and he's online

[fierce bloom]

Then you don't need to port forward, but you probably still need to allow it through the windows firewall. Can you ping the server from another computer with ping 192.168.1.101?

[crude nacelle]

I've got it through the windows firewall as well. My friends computer doesn't work either. Also I can try that, but for now I think my room mate is asleep.

[quaint jewel]

Are you sure you checked the correct network adapter with ipconfig?

[fierce bloom]

I think what's going on here is that your server has a wrong IP address

[crude nacelle]

well when I go to portforward and check the IP it says it can't connect to it

[fierce bloom]

no no, check it from the server

not the router

[quaint jewel]

You might have more than one. And only one of the might be correct

[crude nacelle]

what do you mean?

run ipconfig from the server

[crude nacelle]

oh from my computer

[fierce bloom]

yes

[crude nacelle]

then what?

[fierce bloom]

you'll get a list of ethernet/wireless adapters, look for one that has IPv4 Address.....192.168.x.x

that's the IP you want to use

[crude nacelle]

IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.101

[quaint jewel]

Is that the only adapter with a IPv4 Address?

Or is that only the first/last one?

[crude nacelle]

Hmm

[fierce bloom]

can you tell me the gateway that's listed underneath that address?

[crude nacelle]

Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

wait though wtf is this

Ethernet adapter VirtualBox Host-Only Network:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::e84f:a82b:d620:9949%4
Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address. . : 169.254.153.73
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :

[fierce bloom]

that's a virtualbox thing

it's unrelated

[crude nacelle]

ah okay

[quaint jewel]

So you definetly have more than one adapter.

Search for a IPv4 Address that starts with 192.168.0.X

[crude nacelle]

I have a wifi one

[quaint jewel]

one of them should be 192.168.0.X with gateway 192.168.0.1 and that will be the correct one

[crude nacelle]

they're both IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.101

none are .0.101

[faint dawn]

Wasn't 169.254.X.X when you have no DHCP-Server? (or Ethernet can't connect to it)

[fierce bloom]

it's a virtual adapter, it's not related to what he's doing

[quaint jewel]

Think so yeah.

[crude nacelle]

all I know is it's not the computer

[fierce bloom]

it's for connecting to VMs running the host-only adapter in virtualbox

[crude nacelle]

it's the ISP

They LEGIT told me they do not support technical support for Port Forwarding

Even though, with the same company, a few years ago before I moved, they helped me through the whole thing and it was SO EASY.

[quaint jewel]

Because it's really not that hard to enter a few numbers. Or to google how to do it with your specific router

[crude nacelle]

right?! :S

They won't even walk you through it

[faint dawn]

He meant you.

...

[crude nacelle]

ohhh lol

[quaint jewel]

It's all about the money ^^

[crude nacelle]

RIGHT?! like how can I mess this up??

[fierce bloom]

So you only have one router that has wireless, and that's what you're connected to? nothing in between?

[quaint jewel]

There has to be some Adapter though having 192.168.0.1 as Gateway. Either that or you are trying to port Forward in the wrong router

[crude nacelle]

Yep. Hey man I even have another router and I completely removed that from the picture, and I even tried going into it but there's no way in hell to change any port ofrward options.

[fierce bloom]

or there's some funky NAT going on here

[crude nacelle]

THERE IS YO!

I seriously suspect they are trying to limit the usage of their customers or some shit

like I called them more than once, and tried different separate approaches, and as soon as we arrived to port forwarding, they immediately stopped and said they can no longer assist me with it.

[fierce bloom]

Is there somewhere you can see the IP address range, maybe under LAN or Gateway functions?

[crude nacelle]

and I know this sounds conspiracy theorist like, but they all said the exact same thing.

It has nothing to do with my computer. I've tried it on my friends computer too.

[fierce bloom]

if you want to try them again, don't even mention port forwarding, say your computer's address is on a different subnet than your router and you want to know why

[faint dawn]

quoting Dedmen:
Because it's really not that hard to enter a few numbers. Or to google how to do it with your specific router

[crude nacelle]

Okay @faint dawn what are you trying to say exactly?

[fierce bloom]

@crude nacelle it's likely a setting in your router that's wrong, as that's where your computer is getting its address unless you set it to use a static IP

because clearly you can still reach the internet

[faint dawn]

[quaint jewel]

Lol 😄 Victor Hugo? ^^

[crude nacelle]

This is much more than entering a few numbers dude

[faint dawn]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

"Dude", you haven't even tried.

[crude nacelle]

I get it you think I must be some kind of idiot cause it's JUST a few numbers.

Oh I haven't even tried? "DUDE?!"

I spent 60 dollars on this shitty service because I was at wits end trying to figure this out

[faint dawn]

aannnddddddd another one for the list. huiiii, that was quick.

[quaint jewel]

You have to be doing sooomething wrong. I don't know what. But something.

I and any other guy I have every in my life helped with port-forwarding.
Enter ipconfig find IP that matches the subnet and use that as target in the port-forwarding. and done.

[crude nacelle]

Guess I was just muted? Alright lol, I am just saying I have been googling this, and even contacted bohemia about it themselves.

Same!! Man, honestly this is some simple shit.

[quaint jewel]

What does bohemia have to do with your router ^^
