drowsy current
even reinstalled it and no change
while when i use launcher it says a error "Memory cannot be written" but it worked this morning lol
drowsy current
nope , didnt work either
drowsy current
who knows at this point , i still can launch it as 32bit tho
just not 64 for strange reason
fallow remnant
do you get a dump file?
drowsy current
yes?
drowsy current
its not like the x64.exe didnt worked before even today it worked but then after that it started to crash
and i didnt change anything
i cant figure out why
fallow remnant
sure one of your RAM sticks isn't failing?
fallow remnant
that's not necessary 🤔
But yeah, i think i'd suggest sending the crash dumps to dwarden with a description of what's happening
And check RAM, hard disk, in the meanwhile
drowsy current
It can't be it , while i will check my ram but i really doubt it

@drowsy current I'm experiencing the same exact thing
same everything
built this machine in february.
no errors on memory
bet it keeps telling me "memory cannot be written"
but*
32GB Corsiar Ram GTX1080 hybrid. SHouldn't have any memory issues
gaunt condor
@drowsy current Idk if you were having the same issues but after being frustrated with Arma yesterday I tried playing a couple other games and they ctd'ed as well. Fallout4, and project cars 2. Csgo launched and was playable so Idk if it has to do about the architecture of the program (32 or 64bit) or what. But steam installed update yesterday AND I updated Nvidia driver. Don't know if maybe you did the same thing but I think it is one of those.
drowsy current
thing is , arma3_x64.exe crashes only on start , others games doesnt do that
recently i played dishonored death of outsider and it was fine
gaunt condor
ok. damn....I am stumped
peak sapphire
Can I have some help please? I got a weird issue. Arma 3 is crashing upon loading with a "Referenced memory could not be written" error.
The "Arma III" logo loads to a black screen, I hear the windows error sound and the memory error comes up.
Ive verified all my mods and my game files, ive also restarted my computer and Ive tried loading my mods manually and direct connecting after launching the game via steam.
It was literally working a few hours ago, all I did was leave for class and come home.... Anyone got any suggestions?
I got a picture of the error, but i cant send pics here
quaint jewel
Have you tried looking in the RPT

My apologies. I understahnd;. I help admin two other discords
quaint jewel
Your game crashes for some reason you don't know.
That is not a rare thing.
gaunt condor
I understand that
but it started yuesterday and I'm not the only one
so I think it has to do with steam
I will pm you my log in a couple minutes

@drowsy current Disable Steam overlay
I now have 2 people with the exact same crash
drowsy current
nah , it still does that
quaint jewel
send me crashdump
Disabling it apparently doesn't disable it.
Don't ask me why
Steam overlay is active in that crashdump
Same crash as https://feedback.bistudio.com/T126841
Looks like the overlay crash. But not a 100% because the callstack is messed up
delete gameoverlayrenderer64.dll from Steam directory. Maybe that is enough
If Steam replaces that file before starting Arma you may need to create a dummy file and write protect it
Steam auto updated that file 2 days ago. does that match with the crashes @drowsy current ?
drowsy current
that file is actual
quaint jewel
Since when do you have these crashes?
drowsy current
since yesterday
quaint jewel
That matches then
the overlay dll was updated 27.08.2017 about 6PM german time
Please try what I said.
Whenever you have time
peak sapphire
Oh my god noooooo.... my problem is back
quaint jewel
Try the same
peak sapphire
I made a new profile and it worked... for a bit then now its suddenly back
peak sapphire
Ok
peak sapphire
Sorry... wheres the steam directory?
quaint jewel
when you launch Arma watch that folder. Steam might try to recreate the file
I don't know where your steam directory is
go to your Arma directory
that is probably inside steam dir
quaint jewel
Steam will try to repair that file. You will have to manually move it everytime
quaint jewel
we now have 4 people with the same crash according to crashdump
quaint jewel
and steam overlay file was updated 2 days ago. when the crashes started
peak sapphire
Oh yeah thank god, i thought it was my PC :/
quaint jewel
Good to see that I'm quicker at diagnosing crashes than BI...
peak sapphire
I usually leave this thing on and restart it once a week... I restarted it this morning
alright i got it, ill delete it and see
Wow yeah it worked. Game launched.
So the only solution at the moment is we gotta keep deleting the file every time it restores and hopes steam releases a patch?
frigid crow
Can anyone please explain to me how to remove the P: disc that gets created when installing Arma tools?

That's the tool to create/delete it

Apparently reshade or something is causing issues with Arma 3 where everything looks glitchy
Ok
This is odd
I don't see this issue when I take screenshots, but in game I see it
Maybe it isn't reshade

it doesn't just appear there magically once you say "AHA! RESHADE BE THERE! BAM!"

@gaunt condor Your network drivers are up to date? If not, windows should've assigned the windows ethernet driver
gaunt condor
I have tried everything. Repairing drivers. Trying to reinstall them. Nothing. Even to it to the Microsoft store. They can't do anything there
Was working 💯 before that stupid update
hollow umbra
Well the creators update allows for some different freedoms with the platform, so I wouldn't really call it stupid , I recommend you try and sumbit a ticket to microsoft to see if they can help you out
or god forbid, help you over the phone
gaunt condor
Tried that. Level 2 is calling me tomorrow. All I know is something in that suite messed my computer up and they are unwilling to admit it. The failed Robbins to port has to do directly with the routing windows used to connect to the internet.
hollow umbra
Well of course they don
don't wan't to admit to it
they're a company, with money to earn
gaunt condor
Yeah. Well when I get Linux to boot to it we will see. If I have internet it is clearly windows that is having the issue then
hollow umbra
Meh, windows is only popular because a lot of software and games support it
Linux and Mac slowly kind of lag behind
Mac isn't really all that good for performance anyways
but Linux would be really great if there was support for more software and games. Servers already run really well there

Hey @quaint jewel I think steam only updates when you restart your computer or restart steam. My game just started up fine again, but I havent turned off my computer. So people may only have to delete that file again when steam is restarted/ their game.
Thanks again for catching the cause 😃

I am waiting on a PC repair, and I downloaded arma 3 on my laptop. But when I click play with the launcher, it doesn't load the game
it has an error
I can't link the image of the error.
*Nvm I may have found a fix
Ok so I can load the arma 3 application, but doing so doesn't allow me to activate battleye because the launcher won't start the game, and I need to start the game from there to load battleeye
anyone know a fix for this?

IsDynamic refers to non-static(animated) models..
BeginMeshTLInstanced is just mesh drawing. begin, draw, end.
That model probably does something that only a animated model should do.. while it itself is static..

Hello. I was banned from a server a few days ago, problem is that the admins have no idea how I was banned and can't see me on any of their banlists/systems
it simply says "You were banned."
They couldn't find anything in their logs and can't remove the ban becuase it's not there.
Anyone have any idea how this could have happend? I think it was triggered after I failed to connect due to some error message which looked very generic
pretty common to see some error message pop up while connecting so I just clicked through it without reading
It's on 77th JSOC - EU 1 Invade & Annex. I can connect to their other servers such as EU 2 without any problem, so it's server specific.
The admins there had no idea how the ban could have been triggered
rich siren
paid anticheat, crazy
i mean i assume they offer services people are willing to pay for, but still
elder pewter
They didn't ban me, neither did infistar
I already spoke to the admins at 77 jsoc and some admins from Hostile Takeover if they had any idea what could have caused it
No one had any idea until I found those two threads, super weird.

yo can anyone here help with port forwarding
ive got a weird probelm
basically im the zeus for my group and only person who can really host
So my pc started on win 7, couldnt host, upnp always failed
I upgraded to win 10
could host with upnp
win 10 murdered my PC
so I downgraded back to win 7
upnp still worked for hosting
recently I upgraded to win 10 and it never says it failed but nobody can join my games
rich siren
UPnP is a router function, it shouldn't be OS-dependent
jovial finch
ive tried port forwarding and open port checker still says the ports are closed as well
exactly thats why im so confused
its behaving like its OS dependent
rich siren
You could put yourself in the DMZ temporarily to try to confirm it's a port issue
jovial finch
I did and upnp never said it failed, but nobody could join
rich siren
Also make sure you don't have other security software like a firewall that could block the connection
jovial finch
port forwarding still didnt work
thats what ive done but open port checker is saying ports are still closed
ive made a windows firewall exception for 2302-2305
nothing
rich siren
When you say port forwarding didn't work, you went into the router and opened all of the necessary ports for your computer's specific internal IP? The full port list is at https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Dedicated_Server#Port_Forwarding , you need more than 2302-2305
jovial finch
I did, although I didnt do it by opening the IP in my browser, I tried doing that first but couldnt figure out what the admin password is
however my ISP has their own interface on their site
so i used that with its port forwarding function and it doesnt appear to be doing anything
rich siren
Then you haven't actually verified that the necessary ports are open
jovial finch
also im not running a dedicated server, just temporary hosting on my PC, or does that not matter
rich siren
You need to get your gateway IP and access it through a browser, open the ports yourself
jovial finch
im a total noob when it comes to network stuff
yea
except I cant figure out the password so rip
guess I gotta call my ISP
rich siren
Is it your own router?
rich siren
Then your ISP isn't going to know
rich siren
So not your own router, but rather leased from the ISP
jovial finch
yea
rich siren
To be honest I have doubts that this is router-related given the behavior when you were switching operating systems
I'm much more inclined to believe it's third-party software like a firewall that's interrupting/blocking traffic
Since the port forwarding/UPnP stuff wouldn't have changed during any of that
But at the same time it's a good idea to make sure, and you would regain admin access to the router in the process which is always good to have
Just might not fix the problem 😃
If the Windows Firewall is still on I would cut it off completely and test that way
As opposed to dicking around with specific rules
hollow umbra
Yeah. If you don't have the admin password, power cycle the modem and reset the password
If you have adsl or dsl do not feset
Reset
jovial finch
well the thing is its leased not ours
hollow umbra
You will eventually need to login to your modem.
Doesnt matter if it is leased to you
jovial finch
yea the thing is im pretty sure ISP only wants people using their websites way of loging it
hollow umbra
Everything else like upnp is a crappy alternative
jovial finch
in*
so their website has a way for you to port forward but its not doing anythig
upnp also never says it fails which is whats so frustrating about this
its like windows is randomly blocking shit
hollow umbra
No, ultimately
you need to be able to portforward
upnp is sloppy
find out the default username and password for your modem
or call your isp if it doesn't work and they'll give it to you
they honestly aren't going to care about a little arma session
jovial finch
yea im gonna call them
fading pulsar
Ehhhhh doing a proper reset should default the login info but doesn't always work
hollow umbra
Well, I mean if you don't know your password
fading pulsar
I managed to get locked out my router from my ISP til I got a replacement for some other reason
hollow umbra
Your isp must store login data on router
fading pulsar
That was fun At the time I wasn't really hosting much but now, I reeeeeally need to be able to port forward
rich siren
For a simple server setup UPnP should get the job done fine
fading pulsar
yep
hollow umbra
well UPnP is going to give your users a pretty crappy connection to you
fading pulsar
I used to use UPNP for little arma sessions but now port forward for my dedi
UPNP really doesn't make much of a difference if you're hosting from in game tbh
rich siren
And while getting access to the router is good, I still don't think it's a port issue, unless he somehow managed to open and then close the ports at some point while switching operating systems
hollow umbra
UPnP might even be disabled on the router if it failed /shrug
fading pulsar
To port forward you need to point to the device you want the ports open on
rich siren
Why would UPnP affect connection quality? I thought the primary purpose was to allow programs to request the opening of ports without requiring manual configuration
fading pulsar
So if I wanted my desktop forwarded, I'd forward 192.168.0.4, if I wanted something else I'd do 192.168.0.X
hollow umbra
In my experience, UPnP has caused major issues regarding packet loss, and overall connection quality. Whilst, a forwarded port had no issue
That may not be the case
rich siren
Weird
I wonder if that was UPnP itself or just the router's crappy implementation of it or something else
Just wanted to make sure I didn't have some deeply flawed understanding of UPnP or something 😛
fading pulsar
Probably the router 😉
hollow umbra
I would blame the firmware, but it's brand new and hasn't had any updates yet
Router is brand new, I don't have any clue as to why it doesn't behave well with UPnP, I just assumed it was crappy as it is because it was a workarouund
But you all have all right experiences with UPnP?
fading pulsar
Yep
hollow umbra
deep thoughts ensue
fading pulsar
UPNP is kind of deemed a risk if I recall though
hollow umbra
Security? Or what?
fading pulsar
Yea
rich siren
Malicious program could request ports to be opened for nefarious means
hollow umbra
Probably prone to attacks
hollow umbra
well shit
rich siren
At the same time for regular home users I'm not sure it's worth being concerned over
Seems like there would be paths of far less resistance to compromise those kinds of systems
fading pulsar
It's really not unless you're prone to downloading stuff without care
rich siren
"You received a new email from a coworker! Click here and enter your work creds to view it!"
Bam no UPnP necessary 😄
rich siren
It works entirely too well in corporate environments haha

Does anyone else have issues when using MCC? I’ve had an issue for a while with MCC when playing as Zeus where I cannot open the command tablet interface, as a player or as Zeus. Just as well, when I press escape, I can’t access the MCC options to change any settings/keybinds. If anyone knows a fix, please inform me. The tablet was useful as Zeus for mass populating zones with AI traffic.
Thats a negative for me @jolly bolt my community is having no issues. What’s your trouble?
jolly bolt
@reef plinth Basically the mod is loaded on the server fine, It all seems to work ok when the mission starts but after about 10 seconds a message comes up saying there is no TFAR installed on the server. However the proximity based component works fine (the further away you walk the quieter it gets etc) but there are no radios and no radio functions
quaint jewel
@Cpl.Kerry#4505 There are lots of issues with MCC. But I don't know your specific one.
@Neth#2058 Then something is stopping TFAR from running serverside. 0.9.12? Exile?
reef plinth
Maybe the files corrupted when transferring into the server, or some files didn’t make it. I’d verify all necessary files are present in the server TFAR folder or just reupload the folder.
quaint jewel
There is only one TFAR file that's needed serverside. And corrupt/incomplete files would prevent the server from starting
I know the issue. That's why I asked very specific questions

Anyone know the cause of verify signatures not working? I have all the mods on my server signed with the bikey "NicholasJoFoski" and I have both the a3 and the NicholasJoFoski bikey in the server keys folder. I have verifySignatures set to 1. Just the issue is, when I load into the server with the correct mods and pick a unit to play as, then start to load into the mission I instantly get session lost. Also the server console says that one of my pbos aren't signed correctly even though the pbo listed is signed..
I find it strange, seeming if I try to connect to the server with mods that haven't been signed to the server, upon joining I get the error message "these following addons are not signed by the server etc..". So it kind of works :?

Hey guys, so I'm having an issue where my signature check isn't working. I have signed most of my mods and a few are having errors saying that my signature doesn't match the server, even though it does. The PBO currently giving me errors only contains a config (I need it to act as a 'required addon' because I obfucsated my old PBO and lost the new one when I moved PC's, meaning that I only have an obfuscated one that needs the addon), could this be the reason? I'm not entirely sure though

anyone have trouble downloading the new dev branch update? steam started downloading it and then paused itself. It's showing "MIssing file privileges"
tried restarting steam with admin rights and still get the error.

Use the gameupdater from the arma tools for dev branch
Depending your disk space you can have a stable arma and the dev on your pc. No need to switch on steam
sinful quartz
ok thanks, did that. after that was done downloading i opted out of the dev build in steam and still get the "missing file privileges" after downloading the update.

nvm, i fixed it. Had to delete arma3launcher.exe, for some reason steam didn't have permission to delete or move it.

They'll fire at you, but won't move or point their weapons, you'll hear the snaps of rounds and even get shot, but the impact will seem to hit the ground at their feet, where their weapon is pointing. Anyone else ever experienced this and is there a fix? At the moment I can only make the guess that it's a lack of resources dedicated to the server.

However, Buldozer refuses t ostart, the error code indicating that it is being blocked by Steam. any suggestions? thanks!
I installed it on the dedi as that is where we plan to assemble our mod for release to workshop, and it needs the tools installed for that
could it be something in the registry of the server blocking my use of buldozer via steam?

anyone has any info on what operations and how Arma 3 uses the pagefile?
apparently it uses it as a cache on loading the addons, since I got it off and tried to load the game with large addon pack (~ 25 gb or so, RHS + PMC terrains + USAF mod) once, and it crashed on load or EDEN init
setting pagefile to 6 gb fixed it
have 16 gb RAM, maxmem 12 gb for Arma
or maybe it needs more mem?
the most of the addon weight are textures and p3ds anyway
weak oracle
12gb is enough for Arma
I'm running like the same prefences (core i7, 16 gb) and never meet any problem with Arma 3 (with mods and without them).
fading sequoia
@weak oracle but do you run without page file? I had problems with 16GB RAM and I've read that there can be problems even with 32GB RAM.
@urban fulcrum have you tried without maxmem?
urban fulcrum
no. Should it help?
weak oracle
@fading sequoia running it in full auto mode. Don't even know does it have maxmem on or offm But the pagefile is working fine.
fading sequoia
well it has been advised to not run any kind of maxmem parameters unless you're having some problems. changed around when the 64-bit version came
urban fulcrum
ah, ok, great
mellow spear
@urban fulcrum What version of Windows?
If you are running Win10, set pagefile to system managed
if you want to move it to spinny drive off the SSD, totally acceptable, but you need a pagefile on hard drive somewhere set to system managed
you are not smarter then Microsoft engineers who do nothing but screw with Windows memory management and it's much smarter then anyone gives them credit for
mellow spear
then system managed, on a whatever disk has plenty of room for RAM*2 and done
even if Arma3 refuses to cache, Windows will

Ok, for some reason the UI just breaks for me at times (mostly its backgrounds disappearing in some tabs on the map, having the no satellite connection faintly over the map etc.). At first I though its an issue with MCC, but it happened again when I didn't have MCC enabled. I also thought its caused by opening Zeus, but its not that either. Another big mod I have is ALIVE. I also have file patching enabled, so it might be an issue as well.
I would love to pinpoint the source of the issue, but if I can't reliably trigger the UI failure I can't do that really efficiently.

@Lykaon#1118 the higher the ping the higher the latency. Damage affect is produced on the machine wich the unit is local to thoughthe affects a re global. I believe the affects of latency maybe more noticeable from one player to another because all traffic must go through the server. The ping/latency must be considered of each player vs the affect of say damage on an AI that is local to the server and caused by the player.
So yes I've noticed delay from player to servers AI and even more from player to player.
Usually not multiple seconds though, only fractions of seconds or 1-2 seconds if there is high ping rate. You can limit the maximum acceptable ping of connected client on dedicated server's server.cfg by setting maxping.

ok, really, after setting up pagefile to system managed and removing maxmem param, the issue is gone

@spiral harness can you confirm other players aren't experiencing this issue in that server? Possibly a mission bug

I beleive it was just me.
If it was a mission bug, what should they be looking for? Are there logs they can pull?

Yes, send them your RPT file
should be located at: C:\Users\Bryce\AppData\Local\Arma 3 replace "Bryce" with your username
spiral harness
Well, I just asked them to laod a different mission and I got the same issue with the server
hollow umbra
Hmm, have the host look at the server logs
it'll likely tell more of a story if your rpt as a client doesn't say anything
I still recommend you to check your rpt
spiral harness
I think the host isn't the most knowledgable with this kind of stuff, but I'll see if it sheds some light.
Bit vague, but with errors like this, do you know of any other options I Might be able to mess around with?
hollow umbra
Okay, the host is running a dedicated instance correct? No, I'm not quite sure there is much of anything else other than look at your rpt.
I'd say wait a few minutes in that screen when it's stuck at recieving data
it may take longer due to connection issues, wether that be client or host issues
spiral harness
Ah I tried, it's strange. Either I crash or I get kicked for being idle
hollow umbra
Interesting, when you crash are you given the option to generate a report file?
this'll be useful to BI if it's a game bug
spiral harness
Yes. It says STATUS_HANG. I searched and THAT refers to launcher parameters, except the only one I'm running is -malloc=system. Tried it without and same error.
I'll send the crash log anyway
hollow umbra
remove the -malloc=system. All of those launch parameters are obselete since arma uses the max amount of memory and resources possible automatically
use those parameters only if you are looking to limit the resources arma uses
spiral harness
Same error. 😟 Same crash. Tried to join another server and didn't get the bug, so I assume it's something up with the server I was trying to join.

Hello guys ! My friend has a problem : No server is showing up in his game server list... But there are all the servers in the launcher servers list, but he can't connect connect to any server. Does someone know how to fix this issue ?
hollow umbra
@woven pewter has your friend tried restarting their game?
woven pewter
@hollow umbra Sure 😦
hollow umbra
@torpid cloud this isn't the full rpt
@woven pewter Okay, try and have your friend make a new profile and switch to that
torpid cloud
woven pewter
@hollow umbra He is actually trying this, we'll see
@hollow umbra No, not working 😦
hollow umbra
okay, refer to my previous response
make a new profile, switch to it. Relaunch the game and attempt to search for a serve
@torpid cloud What was your problem again? It seems to be a pretty normal rpt
hollow umbra
Okay, send that zip to bohemia
torpid cloud
I have to force close Arma
woven pewter
@hollow umbra Not working 😦
hollow umbra
@woven pewter Okay, does your friend know how to look at their report logs?
woven pewter
Nope, i don't know too 😄 @hollow umbra
hollow umbra
C:\Users\Bryce\AppData\Local\Arma 3 have your friend go to that directory on their pc, obviously change the username from bryce to yours
in that directory, there will be a bunch of rpt files, find the one that was created today
and paste that into pastebin.com
paste the link into the chat here
woven pewter
@hollow umbra Okay, we'll do this
desert isle
@torpid cloud So you tried with absolutely zero mods and it still happens? You were running:
@RHSUS;@task_force_radio;@Wake;@AdvancedRappelling;@AdvancedTowing;@BC-Phoenix;@cTab;@CUPFull;@DEGA_Parachutes;@FIR_PilotCrewPack_US;@JS_JC_FA18;@mbghouses;@Nimitz;@PTF_ACE;@PTF_ACEX;@PTF_BOC;@PTF_CAR;@PTF_CAR2;@PTF_CBA;@PTF_CUSTOM;@PTF_EM;@PTF_HUD;@PTF_MAP1;@PTF_MAP2;@RHS_GR;@RHS_SA;@RHSRU

FM - There still would've been some sort of log of the crash correct? From a mod?
hollow umbra
17:41:38 Error: createPeer failed
17:41:38 Network
17:41:41 Error: createPeer failed
These lines catch my eye Lenr, but not quite sure as to what they mean exactly
Wait a sec
woven pewter
@hollow umbra Possibly that yes
hollow umbra
Is your friend hosting a p2p server?
As in, did you go to host server in the browser?
Because it does look like your friend logged into a mission somehwere, but you're saying this has to do with seeing servers in the browser?
woven pewter
@hollow umbra No he don't
hollow umbra
@desert isle Only reason why I didn't preced to assume it was game error files is because I had a similar problem earlier on this week but it must've been seriously coniditional because I haven't had it since. Verified cache, made sure the game was running withought any extensions / mods
desert isle
Too many people dont start troubleshooting from zero
woven pewter
Yes @hollow umbra
hollow umbra
A lot of times FM I manged to crash arma even in mission sided scripts
desert isle
and for me, create new profile is the first step
hollow umbra
Yep
@woven pewter So you've done both of my recommendations as listed above? Create New Profile and switch to it + restart game ?
woven pewter
@hollow umbra Yes, done
hollow umbra
The rpt looks fine, other than those errors, which do look like they are some network error of sorts
So your friend isn't seeing any servers?
have they checked their filter?
Changed the max ping to a large number to account for network problems?
woven pewter
@hollow umbra He can't see any server, ans we checked hist filters before and reset them
@hollow umbra Already done, we changed to 5000ms
hollow umbra
Okay, have your friend close out arma 3 and steam
then launch steam
and launch arma 3
and see what happens
if thatdoes not work have your friend restart their pc
woven pewter
@hollow umbra He has already restarted his PC, so Steam has been restarted with it
hollow umbra
Right, go ahead and just close arma 3 and steam once more
If this does fail
It may be of question wether or not something is being blocked
woven pewter
@hollow umbra Okay, let's try it. It seems that the access of arma3 to the network is blocked. He can't see any server and can't connect too
hollow umbra
Yep, that seems like some network port is blocked if your friend cannot directly connect
can they log into their modem?
woven pewter
@hollow umbra I don't really understand ^^ What log into his modem ?
hollow umbra
I'm not sure I know the port the master server uses to connect with, that may be something you ask a dev
yes, your modem has an administrative page in which allows you to configure options
woven pewter
@hollow umbra I think he can yes
hollow umbra
Okay, I have to go for now. Hopefully someone in here will be able to help yo further with this info in mind
I would contact a dev regarding this Lenr
woven pewter
@hollow umbra Ty ❤
torpid cloud
Can someone take a look at this and interpret it? https://pastebin.com/yYP10GyX
Arma just stopped responding
hollow umbra
@torpid cloud Launch arma 3 withought mods and try that, if that does solve it contact PTF
hollow umbra
@torpid cloud can you send an rpt of withought mods? Who did you speak to at ptf?
torpid cloud
It doesn't crash with no mods as far as I can tell
And tech support from them
Lol
I get an application hang error
And it seems to coincide with a GPU usage spoke to 100%
@hollow umbra
I have to sleep, so I'll check out what you said in the morning
Gn and thanks for your help
desert isle
So, with mods, the game crashes, with no mods it doesn’t ... correct? If that’s the case then most likely the problem lies with one of those mods. Ask the others you play with what order their mods are in (for a start)
hard bay

You could try and unlock the campaign with cheats (use at your own risk): https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_Cheats#CAMPAIGN

It's allowed, but I don't know if there are side effects like resetting your progress or blocking achievments or something.
