What's the status on Bohemia official servers?

#

A lot of people can't play due to the current BattlEye situation. Will it be fixed ASAP or will it update next week according to the team

@dusk condor isolated occurrence?

#

Hello, i get a little problem with my game, my game crash, first message : Your memory card 0x000 and a few of random numbers couldn't be read or write (random) and the message 2 is here : https://imgur.com/a/NN7m9

#

Here is it !

oak stream Dec 2, 2017, 10:42 AM

#

@dusk condor Isolated occurrence?

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 10:42 AM

#

Uh ?

oak stream Dec 2, 2017, 10:44 AM

#

Does it happen often?

#

Has it happened before?

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 10:44 AM

#

Nop

#

I have only get problems with a driver dll

#

So i put admin rights to Arma 3

#

So ?

#

Any idea ?

oak stream Dec 2, 2017, 10:48 AM

#

I wouldn't worry about it unless it happens again

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 10:49 AM

#

It's happened more than 10 times

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 10:57 AM

#

@dusk condor is this after the update day before?

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 10:57 AM

#

No

#

Uh

#

Wait

#

Yes, i updated my game and the UPDATE_VIOLOATION ect

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 10:58 AM

#

Okay, are you running any mods?

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 10:59 AM

#

No, any, play on a frecnh server call "Altis4Life", any mods i think

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 10:59 AM

#

Okay. Does it happen at random, or only after some particular thing that you do?

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 10:59 AM

#

Random

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 10:59 AM

#

Alright. So this is probably only something Bohemia Interactive can fix

#

But

#

What you should do is

#

look in the folder %localappdata%\Arma 3

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 11:00 AM

#

Yes ?

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 11:00 AM

#

There should be some files that end in .rpt, .minidump etc

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 11:01 AM

#

.bidmp and rprp

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 11:01 AM

#

yeah

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 11:01 AM

#

with .rpt and .minidump

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 11:01 AM

#

take the minidump, rpt, and bidump

#

um the ones with the most recent time stamp

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 11:02 AM

#

not rprp ?

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 11:02 AM

#

nah

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 11:02 AM

#

Kay

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 11:02 AM

#

put them in a zip or 7zip folder, and send them to Dwarden over PM

#

With a description of what's happening

#

Then you'll have to wait for a fix

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 11:03 AM

#

Okay

oak stream Dec 2, 2017, 11:03 AM

#

You could also post the RPT here so we could take a look

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 11:03 AM

#

No

#

Waste of time

oak stream Dec 2, 2017, 11:03 AM

#

Fair enough.

#

I'll refer to your judgment then.

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 11:04 AM

#

@dusk condor look in the #perf_prof_branch for any new updates. It's a special steam branch that gets certain updates and fixes before stable branch gets it (see pinned messages).

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 11:07 AM

#

Folder is too large

#

Any free upload platform ?

#

@fallow remnant Reinstall the game is a good idea ?

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 11:11 AM

#

Don't switch to that branch yet

#

it's still on the old version

#

Dwarden will announce when they have something new, in #perf_prof_branch

oak stream Dec 2, 2017, 11:12 AM

#

@dusk condor Zippyshare is fine. Just make sure to mention what it is and why you're sending it to him in PM.

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 11:14 AM

#

ah he was talking about uploading it

#

reinstalling probably won't help, no

oak stream Dec 2, 2017, 3:54 PM

#

@blissful bramble Still having issues with addon icons not showing in the main menu?

blissful bramble Dec 2, 2017, 4:09 PM

#

No. I know that the change to Arsenal was reverted before 1.78 release

oak stream Dec 2, 2017, 4:12 PM

#

Alright just wanted to check, that's all :^)

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 4:42 PM

#

@oak stream @fallow remnant Okay, i have done some things for repair FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPT_PAGE errors, i don't know is it's have a rapport.

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 4:43 PM

#

uh i didn't understand that 😅

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 4:43 PM

#

Bad english ?

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 4:43 PM

#

not bad but the phrasing...

#

you're saying that you tried to fix the error?

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 4:44 PM

#

🤔

#

A another error

#

Of my PC

#

It's frequently like Arma 3

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 4:45 PM

#

um. do you get BSOD? Blue Screen of Death?

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 4:45 PM

#

Yea

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 4:45 PM

#

Aha

#

could be a hardware error then

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 4:45 PM

#

Yes, it's that

#

I used WhoCrasher for know what happened

#

And it's a driver, he probably corrupt my RAM.

oak stream Dec 2, 2017, 4:46 PM

#

He?

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 4:46 PM

#

it's*

#

Sorry

oak stream Dec 2, 2017, 4:46 PM

#

Oh

#

Np

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 4:46 PM

#

ntoskrnl.exe is the driver in question

#

He produce 3-4 differents errors

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 4:47 PM

#

hmm.

hollow umbra Dec 2, 2017, 4:47 PM

#

he , he sounds like a big problem 🤣

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 4:47 PM

#

try running 2 passes of memtest86+

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 4:47 PM

#

MEMORY_MANAGEMENT, FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPT_PAGE, CRITICAL_STRUCTURE_CORRUPTION

#

All in BSOD

oak stream Dec 2, 2017, 4:47 PM

#

How many ram sticks do you have?

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 4:48 PM

#

sounds like RAM's faulty, yeah

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 4:48 PM

#

2 of 4 GB

oak stream Dec 2, 2017, 4:48 PM

#

Under warranty?

hollow umbra Dec 2, 2017, 4:48 PM

#

Can memtest isolate which stick?

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 4:48 PM

#

Nop

oak stream Dec 2, 2017, 4:48 PM

#

Overclocked?

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 4:48 PM

#

Nop

#

@hollow umbra done win memory test, materials problems

hollow umbra Dec 2, 2017, 4:49 PM

#

I see

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 4:49 PM

#

materials problem?

#

you mean it found an error?

#

ah like materials = hardware?

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 4:49 PM

#

Yea, only repairable by fabricant

#

Yes, i think ntoskrnl.exe fucked my RAM

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 4:50 PM

#

no it's usually the other way around

oak stream Dec 2, 2017, 4:50 PM

#

^

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 4:50 PM

#

So errors of Arma 3 are linked i think

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 4:50 PM

#

ntoskrnl should be a windows kernel

#

yeah

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 4:50 PM

#

Yes, is it

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 4:50 PM

#

you need to replace one/ both of your RAM sticks

oak stream Dec 2, 2017, 4:50 PM

#

Probably because ARMA 3 puts a heavy strain on your system yeah

#

@fallow remnant this

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 4:51 PM

#

i think the limit of RAM using have been limited.

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 4:51 PM

#

hmm?

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 4:51 PM

#

They're old of 2 years

#

So when i launch big games like Arma 3, BAM ! Crashing

oak stream Dec 2, 2017, 4:52 PM

#

Yeah. The only solution would be to get new RAM sticks @dusk condor

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 4:52 PM

#

I think it's planned obsolescence

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 4:52 PM

#

Age shouldn't matter, but somethings components fail

#

No

oak stream Dec 2, 2017, 4:52 PM

#

It's not

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 4:52 PM

#

RAM's usually good for a very long time

#

(a lot of sticks have 10 year warranties)

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 4:52 PM

#

2 years, not rly normal.

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 4:52 PM

#

It's just bad luck in your case, unfortunately

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 4:53 PM

#

Fack it

fading pulsar Dec 2, 2017, 4:53 PM

#

I had a stick go bad in my server recently 😢

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 4:53 PM

#

It's expensive a bar of RAM ?

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 4:53 PM

#

what?

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 4:53 PM

#

sorry

oak stream Dec 2, 2017, 4:53 PM

If RAM is expensive?

dusk condor Dec 2, 2017, 4:53 PM

#

Yeah

fallow remnant Dec 2, 2017, 4:54 PM

i mean it depends. check your local stores

Quick question

desert isle Dec 3, 2017, 2:26 AM

#

Go ahead

tidal wraith Dec 3, 2017, 2:30 AM

#

I have 230 hours in Arma, and for the past 20-ish I cannot play the game. I can use Eden Editor, and Virtual Arsenal, but if I try to test an Eden mission or play SP/MP, my game crashes. It does not give me an error besides OxCFFFFFFF. As far as I know this just means that there was a crash, but I havent been able to find any other details than that. I've updated my drivers, clean installed the game, repaired mods, changed my settings, and I cant think of anything else. Ive contacted BI support but they cant help me until Monday.

desert isle Dec 3, 2017, 2:32 AM

#

Completely vanilla (no mods)?

tidal wraith Dec 3, 2017, 2:33 AM

#

No, I have some mods, inhouse team mods. But Ive already tried a clean install, and tried with no mods.

desert isle Dec 3, 2017, 2:34 AM

#

ok, Go back to basics. You should always start with the absolute basics.

tidal wraith Dec 3, 2017, 2:34 AM

#

?

desert isle Dec 3, 2017, 2:35 AM

#

That means the base game with no community made mods

tidal wraith Dec 3, 2017, 2:36 AM

#

oh, like I said, Ive done that

#

it still crashes

hollow umbra Dec 3, 2017, 2:36 AM

#

have you generated a crash report?

#

tried vanilla missions?

#

changed user profile?

desert isle Dec 3, 2017, 2:36 AM

#

So, with absolutely no mods, you have the same issue? No mods, default settings, etc?

hollow umbra Dec 3, 2017, 2:36 AM

#

community missions can cause crashes if designedi improperly

tidal wraith Dec 3, 2017, 2:37 AM

#

I have generated a crash report, Ive tried vanilla missions, and I havent changed my user profile. The only settings Ive changed are video settings.

hollow umbra Dec 3, 2017, 2:37 AM

#

change your user profile

desert isle Dec 3, 2017, 2:38 AM

#

then report back

tidal wraith Dec 3, 2017, 2:39 AM

#

Ive sent a report to BI, but like I stated they cant get back to me until Monday. I'll try changing my profile.

desert isle Dec 3, 2017, 2:50 AM

#

If you've given them as much info as you've given us, they'll ask more questions

tidal wraith Dec 3, 2017, 2:51 AM

#

👍

desert isle Dec 3, 2017, 2:53 AM

#

Point being is, the community are quicker to help as we've had a lot more experience at this. I've been here since 2001.

tidal wraith Dec 3, 2017, 3:06 AM

For some reason pretty much whole interface often breaks, I get no backgrounds for the briefings, stats and other map stuff, I see the "no satellite connection"image on top of my map and UI stuff is generally borked.

aaaight guys

#

i needs some help

#

ever since the A3 update, my map doesn't load

#

any ideas on what could have changed in the update?

#

i can get into it on the editor, just not on the mission

#

We rolled back last night, too much broken stuff for us to deal with. A lot changed and a lot of stuff is broken.

#

Map related or?

#

No AI related issues mostly but also some issues with placed buildings in missions and a host of other issues. I documented quite a few of them in general last night as we spotted them through gameplay

#

fuck

#

But then we are using mods and they do modify the way the map is done so that might have insulated us from map issues. When I was testing in vanilla the AI spotting distance the map worked for me, check the game hasn't messed up the key bind maybe?

#

oh wait maybe i didn't explain it properly

#

i can get onto the SQM via the editor, but if I use my SQM in the mission, players cant load into the server

#

i dont use mods

#

Ah not one we have spotted so far but not one I have looked at or heard from anyone else. Might be just another bug there is at least 10 so far.

#

gotta love it when BI doesn't test their shit before releasing an update - it's like the game is developed by children

#

When there are RCs the mods can prepare in advance and report bugs, but when there aren't RCs there isn't a lot the community can do to avoid disasters like this.

fallow remnant Dec 3, 2017, 2:45 PM

#

Hmm? But there was an RC...

blissful bramble Dec 3, 2017, 2:46 PM

#

Virtually no servers will run dev or RC though

#

so things like BE errors are difficult to test publicly

fallow remnant Dec 3, 2017, 2:47 PM

#

Yeah that's true

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 2:47 PM

#

what's the easiest way to isolate an issue on the sqm?

#

because im not getting any errors from it

#

players just cant load into the server

#

its driving me insane

fallow remnant Dec 3, 2017, 2:48 PM

#

can you join the server?

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 2:48 PM

#

no

#

its not joinable with my SQM that worked before the update

fallow remnant Dec 3, 2017, 2:48 PM

#

are you able to load the mission on a self hosted server?

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 2:49 PM

#

the mission reads and loads

#

but you cant get into the server

fallow remnant Dec 3, 2017, 2:49 PM

#

Yes but are you able to load the mission while local hosting?

#

and 2) are you able to edit the mission?

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 2:50 PM

#

yeah the mission works in the editor

fallow remnant Dec 3, 2017, 2:50 PM

#

and then you say "play in multiplayer" and it loads?

#

And you can actually play it?

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 2:50 PM

#

you join the server, it goes to loading screen and gets stuck on loading screen

fallow remnant Dec 3, 2017, 2:51 PM

#

i'm not talking about the server just yet

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 2:51 PM

#

ah right you mean try play on the editor as a character?

fallow remnant Dec 3, 2017, 2:51 PM

#

Yes

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 2:51 PM

#

let me check

#

It might be an idea to check your RPT as well as it might have a message explaining what is going on, it does at least sometimes give you a clue

#

Server side and client side - one of the two might explain the issue

#

yeah i placed a character -> right click "play as character"

#

works

fallow remnant Dec 3, 2017, 2:53 PM

#

okay, and when you slot?

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 2:53 PM

#

client cant get into the server to create an rpt thats worth anything

#

you cant slot

#

you dont get that far

fallow remnant Dec 3, 2017, 2:54 PM

#

No, i mean from the editor, say "play in multiplayer"

#

Does it get to the lobby?

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 2:54 PM

#

how on earth do you play as multiplayer from the editor?

fallow remnant Dec 3, 2017, 2:55 PM

#

er. um so, how did you open this mission?

#

main menu -> editor -> open mission

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 2:56 PM

#

yep

fallow remnant Dec 3, 2017, 2:56 PM

#

okay, so next to the "play" button on the lower right

#

there is a small arrow

#

a drop down menu

#

if you click it, it should say "play in multiplayer" or something similar

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 2:57 PM

#

i only have play in singleplayer

fallow remnant Dec 3, 2017, 2:57 PM

#

...

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 2:57 PM

#

?

fallow remnant Dec 3, 2017, 2:57 PM

#

are any of the units playable units?

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 2:57 PM

#

ofc they are

fallow remnant Dec 3, 2017, 2:57 PM

#

They're purple and stuff?

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 2:57 PM

#

yeah

fallow remnant Dec 3, 2017, 2:57 PM

#

okay, that's really strange. try this instead

#

main menu -> multiplayer -> host server -> lan -> from the mission list, choose this mission, say open in 3D editor

#

and from their click "play"

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 2:59 PM

#

i have triggers calling scripts in my mission, so that probably wont work

fallow remnant Dec 3, 2017, 2:59 PM

#

it'll work

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 2:59 PM

#

kk sec

#

hmmmk the reason why it wont let me host a server is because i installed a test server with steamcmd

#

i didnt do it the noob way 😛

#

wait ok nvm

#

noobing out now

#

yeah i can select a slot

fallow remnant Dec 3, 2017, 3:01 PM

#

okay, click play

#

i mean, "ok"

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 3:02 PM

#

right im on the map

fallow remnant Dec 3, 2017, 3:02 PM

#

proceed to the game

#

see if everything is as expected

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 3:02 PM

#

yeah im ingame

fallow remnant Dec 3, 2017, 3:02 PM

#

if yes, try re-exporting the mission and uploading it again

#

maybe export from the editor itself to be extra safe (assuming you were using some other tool to pack it into a .pbo)

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 3:11 PM

#

ugh

#

really have no idea whats causing it

fallow remnant Dec 3, 2017, 3:13 PM

#

still won't work?

#

Do you have access to server logs, by any chance?

#

And are you able to run other missions?

#

Or missions made post 1.78?

#

Or even vanilla BI missions?

#

And you're running mods, i suppose?

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 3:22 PM

#

yeah i have access to the server logs

#

no errors there

#

i can run other missions

#

post 1.78

#

no mods

fallow remnant Dec 3, 2017, 3:22 PM

#

hmm i dunno

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 3:22 PM

#

yeah zero idea

#

bash my head against a wall

fallow remnant Dec 3, 2017, 3:23 PM

#

You know, the easy way is, just copy all the objects in the mission, open a new blank map, and paste on position

#

save it again, copy your scripts over and try

#

it tends to work sometimes

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 3:24 PM

#

my god that would take an age xD

fallow remnant Dec 3, 2017, 3:25 PM

#

Nah, if you right click on the map, edit-> paste in position

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 3:25 PM

#

wonder if 3k objects will crash the game on copying over

#

lel

fallow remnant Dec 3, 2017, 3:25 PM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

only one way to find out

#

BTW

#

3k objects may hang the editor for a while upon selection 😄

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 3:26 PM

#

fuck me

#

indeed it did

fallow remnant Dec 3, 2017, 3:26 PM

and so are we all

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 3:33 PM

#

oh well thats fine, i'll copy paste smaller parts at a time

#

😛

#

I wish BI looked at the feedback tracker but they don't, which combined with Dwarden as the community filter ignoring reports we are where we are.

#

give the game to blizzard and we will be 100% sorted

fallow remnant Dec 3, 2017, 3:34 PM

wait for it...

#

Build: Stable
Version: 1.78.143717```

#

fucking stable!

#

cunts

#

theres literally zero stability in arma 3

#

lets be honest here

#

This happens every DLC release, I was mostly expecting issues which is why I started looking at it the moment I got it.

#

In order to hide their content they basically do a big merge on top of the stuff they do show us in the RC and the end result is usually not well tested by the community. A lot of stuff gets broken and there isn't any time for mods to adjust to the changes.

#

I don't want the game to be static and I can't see a way for bohemia to protect their DLC profits for something like this if its released for free on the development branch months ahead.

#

thats strange, blizzard seems to do fine with WoW

fallow remnant Dec 3, 2017, 3:39 PM

#

different game, different business model

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 3:39 PM

#

yeah for sure, i'm just hating on BI

#

Been this way since Arma 2, I guess I have just come to accept its part of the parcel with Arma. If another company gave us something similar but with the polish we would move over in a heartbeat and I think much of the community would as well. At least in arma 2 it was the other way around with updates, you chose when you upgraded. Made things a little less urgent and you only upgraded when you wanted something that had been added, now we have to rollback and we can only do so for one release.

jaunty badger Dec 3, 2017, 3:45 PM

#

^ Stupid Steam

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 3:49 PM

#

I guess its just different. For a game with so many mods and so many breaking changes Steam's way is suboptimal. For the grand majority of games there isn't really a problem.

#

I don't think anyone has yet worked out a really good way to do this sort of version control problem with multiple parties involved and still evolving a piece of software. We likely need really advanced backwards compatibility layers to do this well so that both parties are decoupled from each other. I understand the hate but I am not there, I just want the bugs fixed and I accept the issues as part of the issues that Arma uniquely has due to being the only game that is modded and updated like this. The fact they are the only company doing this is why we are still here years after release.

jaunty badger Dec 3, 2017, 3:54 PM

#

Would be enough if Steam any kind of version control and didn't just update everything automatically (while fucking up all the time too). But the average video game consumer is not smart enough to handle that I guess.

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 3:56 PM

#

Being able to at least set an individual game to "don't update" would be a useful feature certainly. Then the admins of the communities could test it and tell everyone to manually run the update when all was well. But that doesn't solve the entire issue because if you have a new player join they need the ability to get the old code too.

jaunty badger Dec 3, 2017, 3:56 PM

#

Updates should not be opt out at all.

#

The updating / setting up process for A2 was the perfect idiot filter.

fringe salmon Dec 3, 2017, 3:58 PM

#

There was this moment in Arma 2 where everything was beta updates and we could include those in mod updater we were using at the time. Since the base assets of the game weren't changing it really was just choose the next beta and go. Put the entire versioning of every part into the communities hands, was a great time of stability!

I don't think you're supposed to just move the folder. It has to stay in steam. But I'm no expert on that.

Does it require dll?

Not for the thing I think off.. And TFAR has dll anyway

Some cracks use the same Steam player ID.

meaning getPlayerUID ingame returns that ID of that steam crack thing

Would be easier to just report them to Steam. But they likely don't give af.

quaint jewel Dec 3, 2017, 4:38 PM

It's basically a crack that makes Arma run without Steam.. So reporting them to Steam without knowing that the bad guys even have a Steam account...

Group them to an opfor or blufor or Independent then make that unit (opfor, blufor, ind) presence set to zero

@fringe salmon can you give some info? How are you starting your server? What is the command line? Where is your battleye working folder?

fringe salmon Dec 4, 2017, 7:53 PM

#

@hollow umbra Well when I join my server it says that, battleye is working from the battleye folder in the root arma 3 folder and the command line is -port=2302 "-config=C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\server1\configs\server.cfg" "-profiles=C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\server1\serverprofile" "-bepath=C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\server1\battleye" "-servermod=@arametrics;@CBA_A3;@CUP Terrains - Core;@CUP Terrains - Maps;@CUP Units;@CUP Vehicles;@CUP Weapons;@EvolvedGaming Takistan Mod Pack;@extDB2;@life_server;@task_force_radio;@TRYK [TRYK's Multi-play Uniforms];" -loadMissionToMemory -autoIni@extDB2;@life_server;

Can you make a string into an object?

jaunty badger Dec 4, 2017, 7:57 PM

#

Depends on how you made the string.

nova herald Dec 4, 2017, 7:57 PM

#

Classname of a helmet

#

I'm using getObjectDLC _x

#

To check if the player has the dlc for said helmet

jaunty badger Dec 4, 2017, 8:00 PM

#

createSimpleObject [getText (configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> headgear player >> "model"), eyePos player];

nova herald Dec 4, 2017, 8:00 PM

#

Obviously it errors out cause it's object it checks not a string.

jaunty badger Dec 4, 2017, 8:00 PM

#

Something like this?

nova herald Dec 4, 2017, 8:00 PM

#

That would spawn it in game.

#

That would be unnescary.

#

I just need to check if player has dlc X so he can use helmet 1.

#

If not continue the foreach untill said array of helmets has a good one.

#

If oké on one helmet end foreach with classname of helmet.

#

_headgearitem = _x;
diag_log format["%1: _X",_x];
diag_log format["%1: _headgearitem",_headgearitem];
};
} foreach (_headgear1);
player addHeadgear _headgearitem;```

#

What I have now 😉

jaunty badger Dec 4, 2017, 8:02 PM

#

So essentially a getObjectDLC variant for headgear.

nova herald Dec 4, 2017, 8:02 PM

#

Basiclay ...

#

GetStringDLC

#

Would be great ;D

#

Haha

#

So far my googling and searching on the biki

#

Didn't provide me with a solution though ...

jaunty badger Dec 4, 2017, 8:07 PM

#

commy_fnc_dlc = {
    params ["_classname"];

    private _dlc = getText (configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> _classname >> "dlc");

    if (_dlc isEqualTo "") exitWith {-1};
    getNumber (configFile >> "CfgMods" >> _dlc >> "appId") // return
};

Never tried this.

nova herald Dec 4, 2017, 8:09 PM

#

Wouldn't this error out on the vanillas then?

#

As they have no value DLC if I'm correct.

jaunty badger Dec 4, 2017, 8:10 PM

#

If the entry is undefined, getText reports "".

#

It would only error if the object had a subclass named "dlc" iirc, but I'm pretty sure that would error anyway since the internals probably use the same logic somewhere too.

#

This piece:

isNil (getObjectDLC _x)

has to be:

isNil {getObjectDLC _x}

nova herald Dec 4, 2017, 8:13 PM

#

It wouldn't work neither.

#

As I'm still using a string right ;D

#

But yes indeed that's wrong aswell :p

#

What if I call for a vehicle variable?

#

Then it wouldn't work.

#

Well not that it's meant for it.

jaunty badger Dec 4, 2017, 8:16 PM

#

No, it says CfgWeapons, but you could easily make one for CfgVehicles too.

nova herald Dec 4, 2017, 8:16 PM

#

Thing is I have it set as this:

#

headgear1[] = { "H_PASGT_basic_black_F", "H_HelmetSpecB_blk" };

#

One is the Lawsofwar

#

The other one is vanilla

#

So if it's not the dlc helmet.

#

It needs to apply the vanilla one.

jaunty badger Dec 4, 2017, 8:17 PM

#

... and the problem is?

fallow remnant Dec 4, 2017, 8:28 PM

#

try this

#

_baseHelmet = [["H_PASGT_basic_olive_F"],["H_HelmetB_camo"]] select (isPlayer _unit && {571710 in getDLCs 2});```

#

that works, except in MP you'll have to wait for the player to init otherwise it won't work properly

#

And well, you won't need the array within an array, i only have that to make it work with F3's Assign Gear script

#

so you'd want something like

#

_baseHelmet = ["H_PASGT_basic_olive_F","H_HelmetB_camo"] select (isPlayer _unit && {571710 in getDLCs 2});```

nova herald Dec 4, 2017, 8:33 PM

#

That is true but what if I would expand my array in multiple choices.

#

Helmet 1 being laws of war, helmet 2 Tanoa, helmet 3 vanilla ...

#

Then your thing doens't work.

#

Although I liked your creative approach in this one. 😄

fallow remnant Dec 4, 2017, 8:34 PM

#

well, you can play on the same method

nova herald Dec 4, 2017, 8:34 PM

#

You would have to work with maybe a switch and have a set array format.

#

To check for the dlcs.

#

And fix the positions

#

helmet 1 = always vanilla class | helmet 2 = always tanoa class | helmet 3 = Laws of war DLC

#

Then your stuff could work.

#

Then you will have to have it exitwith

#

Otherwise it will always take the last one I guess .

jaunty badger Dec 4, 2017, 8:37 PM

#

I don't understand where the problem is.

#

private _helmets = ["H_PASGT_basic_olive_F","H_HelmetB_camo"];
private _missingDlcs = getDLCs 2;

private _fnc_getDlc = {
    params ["_classname"];

    private _dlc = getText (configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> _classname >> "dlc");

    if (_dlc isEqualTo "") exitWith {-1};
    getNumber (configFile >> "CfgMods" >> _dlc >> "appId") // return
};

_helmets = _helmets select {!((_x call _fnc_getDlc) in _missingDlcs)};

#

There, that filters out all the helmets you don't own.

ok so our crashes stopped occuring after disabling a script that managed weather changes, we also removed -noLogs starparameter, not sure if one of these changes actually made the difference or if its just luck but server are still running

hollow umbra Dec 5, 2017, 7:14 PM

#

@pallid ginkgo do you understand what noLogs does? Why would that cause crashes?

pallid ginkgo Dec 5, 2017, 7:15 PM

#

i do understand what it does, i do understand that it sould have absoulutly not the slightest affect on these server crashes but i also know its arma so i cannot rule that option out for certain

#

its just empircal review of what we did and that was exactly these two changes

#

in older versions, running modded, not having -noLogs often caused crashes as arma wasn't able to handle the log spam from some misbehaving mods so it was worth a try, but you are right, the more likley cause was the weather script as weather is kind of a hacky thing in arma, just wanted to share all the fact 😃

hollow umbra Dec 5, 2017, 7:18 PM

#

You should always have logs on

#

If you ever need to diagnose a problem, you wont be able to do it withought a rpt

#

If there is log spam, it's not arma. It's either the mission or a mod problem

pallid ginkgo Dec 5, 2017, 7:19 PM

#

i know, but arma simply cannot handle the logging if it becomes to big, thats at least what we experienced in the past many times

fading pulsar Dec 5, 2017, 7:19 PM

#

Generally the problem persists so it can be removed and troubleshooted @hollow umbra

hollow umbra Dec 5, 2017, 7:19 PM

#

Sure it can

#

Your write speed for the drive you have it on is the only limitation in my experience, that may not be true obviously

pallid ginkgo Dec 5, 2017, 7:20 PM

#

i 100% agree with you, logs are always good and you cannot have enough, the way we normaly handle it that we turn the logs off for performance reasons and when problems surface we turn them back on (problems almost always come back :D)

hollow umbra Dec 5, 2017, 7:21 PM

#

@fading pulsar If there is log spam from arma as a vanilla game, it's triggered by something usually. But you are correct they are solved fairly quickly

#

🤦

#

You shouldn't be having problems as a result of log files

pallid ginkgo Dec 5, 2017, 7:21 PM

#

and for drive speed we normaly run everything on NVMW's or ram disks so thats probably wasnt the problem, most times its just crappy mods that werent ment to be used in "production" 😄

hollow umbra Dec 5, 2017, 7:22 PM

#

You must have a lot of mods loaded for something like logs to affect your performance, and they gotta be spamming like crazy

pallid ginkgo Dec 5, 2017, 7:22 PM

#

but thank you for your help, if i find out the exact cause of the problem i will report it at the appropriate place so it can be fixed

hollow umbra Dec 5, 2017, 7:22 PM

#

Why not just tone it down?

pallid ginkgo Dec 5, 2017, 7:23 PM

#

because by license or by obfuscation you cannot always edit a mod that spams the RPT

#

there are quite a few mods that do not allow modifications in ther license so there is no legal way of fixing it

hollow umbra Dec 5, 2017, 7:24 PM

#

Not necessarily true. As long as they arent redistributed that way, but what i was implying was that you may want to start by removing mods that you think aren't entirely important

pallid ginkgo Dec 5, 2017, 7:24 PM

#

there is, sadly but understandibly, a growing number of mods that are build with tools like mikeros and obfuscated to a degree where you cannot simply fix them

#

sure thing, we always do that 😃

hollow umbra Dec 5, 2017, 7:25 PM

#

🤔

pallid ginkgo Dec 5, 2017, 7:26 PM

#

i really appreciate your help and 100% agree with you, but somtimes circumstances force us to do things that are technically not a good idea ... i think we should not talk so much in this channel so others can use it, if you want to further talk about logs feel free to PM me 😃

hollow umbra Dec 5, 2017, 7:28 PM

#

Alright, yeah i hope i don't seem to be a bother. It just happens to often where people don't have the ability to get rpt messages because they were hungry for fps

we had few moments where logs would have helped a lot 😄

Im thinking of moving some of my bigger mods (RHS/CUP) to my second harddrive, while leaving the core game files on my SSD, using symbolic links. Would this be a significant (gamebreaking) issue, or would it just result in slower loading of mod assets?

you don't need symlinks for that. you can set the path direction for subscribed mods to your HDD and also point the launcher to it. and no, no performance issues. i have it like this for a very long time actually

There is a legacy branch on Steam yes

And tell your Admin the he isn't doing his job. An Admin is always ready to fix stuff

So is the legacy: Arma3Legacy176? but then it goes back to 176? and not 178?

There should be a legacy 178. If it's not there yet then... You gotta get your Admin online I guess

Ok so I verified my game files, and my profile still isn't showing up in game. Is someone near the game real quick that can do me a favor? I want to verify the correct path for Arma 3 - Other Profiles. I have the paths This PC\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles an also have This PC\Documents\Arma 3 and This PC\Documents\Arma 3 Projects. Is this how it's supposed to be set up, with these 3 folders seperated and all in Documents?

#

Inside Arma 3 - Other Profiles my profile is there in full. The game just will not recognize it

lethal egret Dec 7, 2017, 1:15 AM

#

Yes they should all be seperate in the Documents folder

stable thistle Dec 7, 2017, 1:18 AM

#

Thanks. Something is really really wrong. I'm trying to make a new profile (which I'm hoping to copy and paste my old one over), but the game won't let me "name" it. I can't type in the box because its greyed out. It defaults to Player 1. After creating the new profile, the name deletes itself, so the box is empty. Then the game tells me I can't exit the page because I have to name the profile.

#

But it wont let me type anyting at all

#

No mods or anything

#

2300 hours and never ever had a problem

lethal egret Dec 7, 2017, 1:21 AM

#

I tried deleting my original profile and found it was impossible. So I created a new one which is the one I use as default. Not sure why it does not allow you to delete the original profile after that but I just ignore it now. Can you not create a new profile once you launch the game and hover over the little character symbol and click on that?

stable thistle Dec 7, 2017, 1:27 AM

#

Kind of. When I open the profile thing its completely blank. There is nothing on the left had list (though it does say RyansgamePC when I hover over the icon in the menu. This is normal as this is the name of my PC. Creative I know lol). Anyway, when I open the profile section in the menu, the left list is empty. I click on the option to make a new profile with the "new" button, but I can't name that one. It defaults to Player 1. Ok, fine. Maybe this is considered my default one. So I click on the option to make another new profile, but it also defaults to the same name Player 1, which I can't edit either (it's greyed out), then the game deletes both Player 1 profiles and deletes the names (assuming because it wont allow two profiles with the same name), but since the naming section is greyed out I can't name it myself, so I have to force the game closed due to the error saying you can't have a profile with no name at all. Lol. I realize this is confusing the way I'm typing it

#

What I don't get is, I have an Arma 3 - Other Profiles folder, with a folder inside that named Heroesandvillains. This is the profile I've always used which still has all my save files and missions I made and compositions, etc. It's just starting last night, the game won't recognize it anymore.

lethal egret Dec 7, 2017, 1:30 AM

#

That's odd because that's the folder stucture I have as well and as far as I can tell the game is just not recognizing your profiles that you have already set up

stable thistle Dec 7, 2017, 1:30 AM

#

Wow I feel like I need to nuke the whole game. I have I think 80 GB's of mods subscribed too, combining for a 100 GB download.

You could try deleting the profile folders but that is entirely up to you whether you want to take the chance of deleting those folders and attempting to start fresh. I have never tried that so I can't say for sure what will happen or if it will mess anything up at all. I would thinhk it would default to asking you to make a profile for the first time but I am only guessing here.

stable thistle Dec 7, 2017, 1:33 AM

#

I have my main one backed up right now, Right now even after making a new one (Player 1) every time I start the game I get greeted like its my first time.

#

Guess I have to face the music here

lethal egret Dec 7, 2017, 1:34 AM

#

Yeah, I re-installed the game fresh and used a backup of my profiles as well so it should work as far as I can tell

stable thistle Dec 7, 2017, 1:38 AM

#

FYI, incase anyone in here wants to avoid a catastrophy, here is what I did to "cause" this problem. Bludclot asked if I'd index his Cambodia map for ALiVE using his friends only pre-release Workshop version. I subscribed, forced borderless windows in the launcher, enabled filepatching, and turned off Windows Defender (it can interfere with Mikero's Dewrp program). Indexed the map and everything was fine. Closed Arma. Unsubscribed from the map on Steam, turned on Windows Defender, unchecked borderless windowed mode, disabled filepatching, launched the game, then this mess.

#

See you on the other side guys. Uninstalling now. Be back in a few days after it all downloads again 😃

#

Thanks for trying @lethal egret

Is there anything wrong with this line of code? It is in my description.ext file and is saying there is a missing ';'. Am I missing some other .sqf file? I am just beginning to populate my mission folder with these files and I noticed some other lines of code started working, like the 'respawnDelay' in the description.ext started working when i simply created a blank respawn.sqf... What am I doing wrong here?

Im getting kicked over and over from the server I'm playing on with the error "Battleeye not responding". I tried to verify all files, removing and reinstalling battleye, tried reinstalling arma 3 exe files. I get kicked out every 1-2 minutes. Talked to server admin, and he confirms the error is client side. plz halp ps! I have also updated to latest nvidia gfx drivers

#

open for any suggestions

can you connect to an offical BI server, or any other server in general?

working on it, give me 2 sec

if you can connect to offical servers and other servers you're all good i guess

sharp tinsel Dec 7, 2017, 4:01 AM

#

that is so wierd, because I can play on official, the server I was playing on (Lythium Exile) where I got kicked over and over, I was the only person experiencing this. Also the admin confirmed the error was clientside. So I have no clue what the issue is. Have to wait and gather logs I guess

wise barn Dec 7, 2017, 4:02 AM

#

how did he "confirm"?

sharp tinsel Dec 7, 2017, 4:11 AM

#

He is not answering. But my guess would be server logs and comparing to other users online on the server. I am currently the only one experiencing the bug

#

the server is this one 213.32.6.199:2302 (www.doordiegamers.com)

wise barn Dec 7, 2017, 4:12 AM

sharp tinsel Dec 7, 2017, 4:53 AM

#

I got news @wise barn . I changed from my broadband connection, to my cellphone internet, and now it works on this server.

#

I had a feeling the old modded Linksys WRT54GL with DD-WRT firewall was doing something wierd with BE communication with the server ports

#

the problem is that I cant figure out what

hollow umbra Dec 7, 2017, 4:53 AM

#

Ummmmm....

#

yeah no

sharp tinsel Dec 7, 2017, 4:54 AM

#

it worked now, from a different connection

#

I have no other theory

hollow umbra Dec 7, 2017, 4:54 AM

#

BE's ISP is having problems right now regardless

#

so I don't think you should be switching to something that may be costing you more than you intend to

sharp tinsel Dec 7, 2017, 4:55 AM

#

so BE communicating with some game servers, might be the issue?

hollow umbra Dec 7, 2017, 4:55 AM

#

Possibly, I'm not sure I know all the information there is to know

#

but something is up

sharp tinsel Dec 7, 2017, 5:03 AM

#

the thing is, I tested now with and without the router, from the same IP, same trace route, and it seems to be the router causing the issue. #MyBrainHurts

sharp tinsel Dec 7, 2017, 5:24 AM

#

admin told me BE is using port 2317 , for some reason my firewall in my linksys said "F. U" to use that port on this spesific server. A restart of the firewall, solved it.

sharp tinsel Dec 7, 2017, 8:16 AM

#

Correction. It might be another issue (also?) , now me and several other people are beeing kicked from the same server. BE not responding error is back

inbound or outbound?

#

I can provide contact information etc to the server owner and dev. just pm me

#

it is basicly unplayable . The server I am playing Exile on is basicly dying after your update 😦 From 60 people to 10-30. When it hits 30 it breaks after the update. It is really frustrating for us multiplayer users or your product.

i am on a hosted server and have been getting regular battleye crashes since the 1.78/1.80 patches. i beleive its due to the fact that my host has other services running through what should be my dedicated battleye port. i see this as an ongoing issue for those of us not on a dedicated machine and who can not set our own game port.

quaint jewel Dec 8, 2017, 1:39 PM

Battleye crashes? That's new

supple lily Dec 8, 2017, 2:06 PM

given its a hosted server its a bit hard to be sure, although the symptoms are the same as when battleye crashes. server is running, all players are kicked. players trying to rejoin get stuck on loading. no rcon tools will connect to the server. server remains that way until it is restarted.
following error messages in the rpt when this happens:
0:02:40 NetServer::finishDestroyPlayer(1999503496): DESTROY immediately after CREATE, both cancelled
0:02:40 BEServer::finishDestroyPlayer(1999503496): users.get failed

Ah you mean mass kick? A crash is something different in my head.
No that's not a port issue. If you had the port problem people couldn't even connect

yeah im at a loss as to the cause. only started happening since 1.78. host cant seem to provide any answers either

#

Players are kicked? Real kick or just loose connection

Sounds like it should just be a completly battleye unrelated server freeze

supple lily Dec 8, 2017, 2:13 PM

real kick, all online players are disconnected at the same time, but the server dosn't shut down or restart

@dire wolf I have seen that before as well. I think that arsenal presets that were made in singleplayer aren't available in multiplayer, and vice versa. So the solution should be to start a local multiplayer game and create presets there. Don't use the editor to create arsenal presets if you want them available when playing online.

@fallow remnant Can I send crash reports for him to debug when my brain isn't working irl?

fallow remnant Dec 10, 2017, 1:41 PM

#

i mean you probably can, but he might not appreciate it 😄

This is a issue on our servers as well with random players.

#

can anyone help me with memory leak issues/quota underflow crashes?

#

basically i get the occasional stutter, lag spike and then finally a crash after 15 minutes of play in arma 3 , probably because of memory leaks or something

#

and ofc had a bsod one time with quota underflow as the error message and that led me to the memory conclusion

#

Running any mods?

red inlet Dec 10, 2017, 3:03 PM

#

lots

oak stream Dec 10, 2017, 3:03 PM

#

Try disabling them and see if the memory leak still occurs.

red inlet Dec 10, 2017, 3:04 PM

#

all the RHS, CuP, jsrs, blastcore, some others

#

well everything worked fine a few days ago with those mods enabled

#

i highly doubt its that

oak stream Dec 10, 2017, 3:04 PM

Which some others?
