#

but didn't work

quaint jewel Apr 2, 2018, 4:39 PM

#

tried to let steam verify your files?

chrome merlin Apr 2, 2018, 4:40 PM

#

I did , but when it finishes it says "one file need to be validated and will be reaqquired"

#

then nothing happens

quaint jewel Apr 2, 2018, 4:41 PM

#

arma not open? Try to do it directly after a computer reboot to make sure steam can access that file

chrome merlin Apr 2, 2018, 4:45 PM

alright thanks

Hi,

anyone got idea on why my server signatures wont work?
Even mods uploaded on steamworkshop by official teams do not work.

Placed all the bikeys in the key folder on the server.
verifySignatures = 2; in server.cfg

it resolves in the launcher telling me:
Load 'ADDON X' from library (signature mismatch)
Load 'ADDON Y' from library (signature mismatch) 32-bit

googled for hours now, still nothing at hand.
Any help would be appreciated.

fading pulsar Apr 2, 2018, 9:30 PM

#

Remove all bikeys except the A3 one, then upload the bikeys from the mods stored on your computer and see if it'll say "mismatch"

#

If it doesn't then it's due to different versions of the mod serverside and client side

fringe salmon Apr 2, 2018, 9:34 PM

#

hrm. all the keyfiles originated from my drive. Local and serverfiles are exactly the same

fading pulsar Apr 2, 2018, 9:34 PM

#

Uploading the bikeys via FTP?

#

And have you tried to join the server and ignoring the errors?

fringe salmon Apr 2, 2018, 9:36 PM

Anyone know why Arma 3 would run at 20-30 fps when AI is present regardless of video/multithreading settings?

#

I've got a fairly high-end system with an i7-6700k @ 4.0GHz and a 1080ti, idk why it's running so slowly. A friend of mine has a lower end system and runs at 60+

quaint jewel Apr 3, 2018, 8:07 PM

#

Probably magic

#

You could ofcause get #perf_prof_branch to find out why it actually is slow

#

but until you do that.. Magic,

Im having an issue, I was building on my map and it was working fine, but I re-packed it and now it crashes each time I go to a specific area on the map, but it only crashes in 64 bit
and I get this error in my RPT

Well I'd say road materials don't support the Super shader.... Like it says right there...

fierce bloom Apr 4, 2018, 1:27 PM

#

@quaint jewel I tried to run the frame capture command but it wouldn't run for some reason. It would either complain about no ; when there was one, or silently do nothing 🤷

quaint jewel Apr 4, 2018, 1:28 PM

#

then you are not running profiling build

fierce bloom Apr 4, 2018, 1:28 PM

#

I did get the profiling build

#

I'll try again today, maybe I was being a dummy

quaint jewel Apr 4, 2018, 1:29 PM

#

the command only works on profiling build.
And the missing ; error is exactly what you'd get if you ran that command in non-prof

fierce bloom Apr 4, 2018, 1:29 PM

#

I did switch to profiling, the launcher had the bar on the corner

#

but maybe I missed something else, idk

fierce bloom Apr 4, 2018, 8:02 PM

#

just to be sure, I can run diag_captureSlowFrame from the run locally debug menu in SP, correct?

#

okay I know for a fact that I'm running the profiling build, and it's still not running the diag_capture commands

fading pulsar Apr 4, 2018, 8:13 PM

#

You can verify by checking your RPT

fierce bloom Apr 4, 2018, 8:21 PM

#

got it working, now I just have to decipher what's causing the slowdown

upper gust Apr 4, 2018, 11:15 PM

is there any common causes that make certain clients show Arma 3 servers as not responding? But show other servers?

spark silo Apr 5, 2018, 8:25 AM

#

is there such bug when you join your own server from lan cause you share same external ip and can't connect thru that is your voice/mic not working ?

quaint jewel Apr 5, 2018, 8:25 AM

#

rereads the message 5 times Ehhh.. Wat?

acoustic fractal Apr 5, 2018, 8:25 AM

#

Are those... Two questions?

quaint jewel Apr 5, 2018, 8:26 AM

#

If you join from lan.. you don't share.. like.. yeah you share the same external IP. But the Arma server doesn't even know that. Because you connect from the internal IP

#

And if your voice is not working you are having Arma unrelated problems I'd say

spark silo Apr 5, 2018, 8:27 AM

#

mic work fine if i join other servers or if im host with different port

#

but if i join my dedicated server from lan my voice i disabled

#

is*

quaint jewel Apr 5, 2018, 8:29 AM

#

so ingame VOIP doesn't work over LAN. But works if you locally host and over Internet?
Other external people who join the server that runs in your LAN via Internet can use voip? Or does it also not work from them?

#

What IP do you use to connect to your server? The LAN or the external IP?

spark silo Apr 5, 2018, 8:30 AM

#

yes clients from my server have no issues talking its only me if i join from lan

#

but i have no issues with voice on other servers

#

using other ip to join the server and not from lan fixes only issue is voice gets disabled when i join from lan

#

should i change server ports maybe ?

quaint jewel Apr 5, 2018, 8:34 AM

#

so if you join over the LAN IP it doesn't work. But over external IP it works?
Did you enter your LAN IP in your server.cfg as localClient/headlessClient?

spark silo Apr 5, 2018, 8:35 AM

#

yes to first one i'l have to check the 2nd

quaint jewel Apr 5, 2018, 8:36 AM

#

I'd say your IP shouldn't be in local/headless client config entry. But maybe adding it might help ¯_(ツ)_/¯

spark silo Apr 5, 2018, 8:36 AM

#

nope only localhost starting 127...

#

is will add my local ip and check if the voice issue is fixed headlessClients[] = {"127.0.0.1", "mylocalip"}; and localClient[] = {"127.0.0.1", "mylocalip"};

No that is the Issue I believe The game was updated but Battle eye was not.

Anyone know how to #arma3_troubleshooting an infinite load screen on a server, been stuck with it for two weeks

hollow umbra Apr 6, 2018, 1:41 AM

#

@fringe salmon I'm only going to assume both of you decided to say the same thing, can you give some rpt? Is your mission cycle not working? Can you still access chat window? Can you log in? Give some details

fringe salmon Apr 6, 2018, 1:42 AM

#

@hollow umbra we get through the mission file sequence, anyone who tries to connect gets to where they can hear the map and sequences starting but are stuck in a loading screen

hollow umbra Apr 6, 2018, 1:43 AM

#

@fringe salmon must be some script, mod stalling the load for whatever reason.

fringe salmon Apr 6, 2018, 1:43 AM

We have tried switching the missions and still the same results, with PBO's that have worked in the past @hollow umbra

This is a problem that's continuing to plague me,

The Arma launcher thinks the game is open, whilst it's not. Meaning I cannot change mods

Checked task manager, nothing other than the launcher
Recent windows install too
Restart, fixes it for a bit
Manually editing a saved preset is the only way I've managed to change mods when it occurs

I don't suppose anyone's experienced it and fixed it?

rain wave Apr 6, 2018, 7:48 PM

#

@fading pulsar is it stalled somewhere? Check your details tab in task manager. Could be hiding

fading pulsar Apr 6, 2018, 7:50 PM

#

Doesn't appear to be

#

Steam doesn't think it's open either, logged in/out of Steam and the launcher still thinks it's open

#

It's my only hurdle to actively using the SW and the launcher

rain wave Apr 6, 2018, 8:17 PM

#

Dunno. Never had that happen

dapper condor Apr 7, 2018, 12:44 AM

#

On a side note. Dual Arms mod causing anyone else to have infinite loading screens after a player connects? Narrowed it down to that mod. Characters will still be able to connect, move their avatar around and what not, just their screen will never kick over to in game and stay at loading screen

hollow umbra Apr 7, 2018, 2:18 AM

@Dracken Angmooren#2393 No, but you want to report that to Andrew, or if he has a github or feedback tracker of any sorts use it.

i have a problem with my arma (Even though i think it's more ACE/CBA/TFAR), actually make it 2.
1-When playing with ACE/CBA3/TFAR my mouse side buttons AND ctrl, alt seem like dont get registered, does get registered when playing vanilla but not with those mods (common denominator seems to be CBA3 but reinstalling doesnt seem to work
2-My windows keys started opening windows menu. googled it, tried every attempt at fixing it there was in countless threads and didnt work (Running arma as administrator, keyboard doesnt have a gaming setup, closing razer synapse)

Hope somebody can help me without having to reinstall arma all over again 🙏 🙏

jaunty badger Apr 9, 2018, 3:45 AM

my mouse side buttons AND ctrl, alt seem like dont get registered
How do you know?

sinful meteor Apr 9, 2018, 3:51 AM

#

going to controls>Configure Addons>Any of the submenus and trying to configure some keybindings seem like any key works except for ctrl, alt, and both mouse side buttons. I use my mouse side buttons as my PTT in TS and doesnt work either when ARMA3's window is in focus, once i go back to the desktop seems work again

jaunty badger Apr 9, 2018, 3:52 AM

#

Nobody can assign those keys in the configure addons section of the keybindings menu. And without CBA, that section doesn't even exist.

#

You can drag and drop the mouse buttons from the right side list box though. But ctrl, alt and shift don't work period.

sinful meteor Apr 9, 2018, 3:53 AM

#

oh wow, is there a reason for that not working or is it simply a bug?

jaunty badger Apr 9, 2018, 3:54 AM

#

Technical limitations.

#

As for the windows key opening the start menu, that happens for everyone, because that's the point of the key. And what has that to do with Arma???

sinful meteor Apr 9, 2018, 3:56 AM

#

used to not do it! thats why KOTH servers have the windows key to show teammates names, ace had the interactions menus as both left and right windows keys etc...

jaunty badger Apr 9, 2018, 3:57 AM

#

OK, but what has that to do with Arma? Do you believe a mod can make the windows key open the windows menu?

sinful meteor Apr 9, 2018, 3:58 AM

#

no, but i think arma used to "block" it or at least prioritize arma's use over window's use

jaunty badger Apr 9, 2018, 3:58 AM

#

No.

quaint jewel Apr 9, 2018, 5:58 AM

#

@sinful meteor The mouse PTT issue is definetly Teamspeak. In earlier versions you could set how keys are captured in the teamspeak hotkey settings. But I think they removed that with 3.1 or smth

fading pulsar Apr 9, 2018, 6:58 AM

Whats going on with the bad module info problem everyone seems to be having?

jaunty badger Apr 9, 2018, 11:55 PM

#

If the devs decide to remove an argument from a module, and your mission contains this specific module, it can no longer be read and the script associated with it is no longer executed. One of the many reasons why modules are shit.

analog bear Apr 9, 2018, 11:56 PM

#

Its not just arma that its happening in

jaunty badger Apr 9, 2018, 11:56 PM

#

Not just Arma?

wanton shale Apr 10, 2018, 12:03 AM

#

"Bad module info" - means: "Something went wrong"... and that is not problem with the game or in the game, that's how windows report it, generic message about unknown/not registered error, afaik that is since windows 10 fall update (not sure about different OS's)

#

btw people have "Bad module info" errors not only with arma

Powershell is awesome, fight me

#

that being said, if you have Win10 Pro, defer updates, life will be much much better

rain wave Apr 10, 2018, 6:26 PM

#

Problem is you can only go so long before windows starts to try and force updates

mellow spear Apr 10, 2018, 6:27 PM

#

No

#

If you have Win10Pro, you can delay feature updates for few months

#

feature update is probably what's nailing peopl

I've ran into forced updates before even when using win pro,

this new windows servicing model is so painful for non IT people

rain wave Apr 10, 2018, 6:30 PM

#

Well, explain to me then.

mellow spear Apr 10, 2018, 6:30 PM

#

because you have security updates/feature updates

rain wave Apr 10, 2018, 6:31 PM

#

Well yes, of course.

mellow spear Apr 10, 2018, 6:32 PM

#

monthly you get cumulative updates which are security/reliability updates rolled into one

#

then there are feature updates which have cool names like "Creators Update"/"Fall Update" which are basically new versions of windows with new features/security enhancements

rain wave Apr 10, 2018, 6:34 PM

#

Okay...? And?

mellow spear Apr 10, 2018, 6:35 PM

#

they were supposed to release a feature update today

#

but now checking, they didn't

#

so obviously cumlative update bit something

#

If you want some stability and have Windows 10 pro, I'd make the following changes in advanced options

#

https://i.imgur.com/4snyRhn.png

so you delay cumulative updates by 7 days and feature updates by several months + 30 days after that

Windows 10 Redstone 4 release date: Although the officially launch date hasn’t yet been announced, we know that the version number indicates the year and month of completion of the update. In this case, version 1803 indicates that the update will be done in March (03) 2018 (18), followed by the worldwide launch only a few days after. So, we can expect the Windows 10 Redstone 4 release date to be sometime in the early days of April

Wait for the mod author to update

which features do you mean?

rain wave Apr 11, 2018, 11:08 PM

I'm not sure on specifics. But the point being is that the mod isn't configured to support any new physx features the new vehicles are using

Thus. Wait for the mod author to configure this, or make a patch yourself

Hey guys. I recently reinstalled windows to my C drive, as well as reinstalling Arma to my F drive. I went to boot up arma tonight after it downloaded, and I got stuck at loading profile upon launch. I went into my C/documents/Arma 3 folder, and deleted my account profile files, and sure enough arma booted. Now though, in order for Arma to keep booting, I need to keep deleting the profile account files, and creating a new profile once arma opens. I dont play KOTH so im not worried about recovering my old profile (though that would be cool), I just want arma to save a profile and keep launching from it. what is the fix? I guess its good to note I have named the PC the same thing after the windows reinstall. Not sure if that is the origination of the issue. Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

If anyone wants to lend a hand, my original post is a bit above

#

struggling big time

#

I have tried everything, even setting a launch parameter to launch profile from certain location

#

"-profile=c:\documents\ArmA 3\reeeidiculous"

#

still hangs on "Loading Profile" upon launch

#

Where does Arma actually save the profile data?

quaint jewel Apr 12, 2018, 8:41 PM

#

in c:\documents\ArmA 3\reeeidiculous

#

no wait

cerulean ether Apr 12, 2018, 8:41 PM

#

even if I delete the default folder c:\Documents\Arma 3 , all of the profiles I have created keep laoding

quaint jewel Apr 12, 2018, 8:42 PM

#

my documents folder.

#

so C/users/username/documents/arma 3

#

-profile startparameter is invalid

#

it's -profiles if you want to change the directory

cerulean ether Apr 12, 2018, 8:42 PM

#

its crazy though man, I delete that folder entirely and the profiles still load

#

and I know, i typoed

#

that data has to be somewhere else

quaint jewel Apr 12, 2018, 8:43 PM

#

my documents/arma 3 for you main profile. and my documents/arma 3 - other profiles
for the rest

cerulean ether Apr 12, 2018, 8:43 PM

#

yeah dude. I delete those folder ENTIRELY and arma still somehow loads ALL of them

#

I have no clue how

quaint jewel Apr 12, 2018, 8:43 PM

#

procmon ^^
But that might be a little tedious

cerulean ether Apr 12, 2018, 8:44 PM

#

is it also in AppData?

quaint jewel Apr 12, 2018, 8:44 PM

#

or procexp. and check which open files have Arma3Profile filetype

#

afaik no.

cerulean ether Apr 12, 2018, 8:44 PM

#

what are you recommending I do?

quaint jewel Apr 12, 2018, 8:45 PM

#

I would personally go for the procexp route. (Process Explorer) it shows all open files of a process. And it will also show up the Arma3Profile file that Arma has loaded

#

no matter where it is

cerulean ether Apr 12, 2018, 8:46 PM

#

where can I access the process explorer

quaint jewel Apr 12, 2018, 8:47 PM

#

Google will give you a download to it

#

from the microsoft website

cerulean ether Apr 12, 2018, 8:51 PM

#

should I be searching for Arma3Profile in the explorer somehow'

#

?

#

@quaint jewel

#

I have searched every drive for file type Arma3Profile, and the only ones displaying are the ones in the Documents folder. Somehow though, if I delete these entirely, Arma can magically know all of my profiles though, and open them all up upon launch. I have researched this exact issue with the laucher hanging on "Loading Profile" and have not seen a single solution which is so discouraging. This is a forum post regarding the exact issue that was left unsolved. https://feedback.bistudio.com/T83764

#

I do not understand what is keeping Arma from simply loading with the new profile I make. I have no idea what to do. Havent been able to play for days now.

Havent been able to play for days now.
What does that have to do with the profile?

@jaunty badger read my original post, little bit up from last night

jaunty badger Apr 12, 2018, 9:09 PM

#

Just because it gets stuck when a dumb splash screen says "loading profile", doesn't mean that your game freezes because of the profile.

#

Idk, the only thing you can do is to report it on the issue tracker. Or maybe post the RPT file found at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Arma 3. MAYBE something obvious is logged there, though it's not really likely.

cerulean ether Apr 12, 2018, 9:11 PM

#

well, it gets stuck at the splash screen and the game never loads

it sits there forever

jaunty badger Apr 12, 2018, 9:11 PM

I understand that.

300 lines of bad configs.

cerulean ether Apr 12, 2018, 9:18 PM

well, for the first time ever it got past the splash screen and opened the main window without having to delete profile folder in documents. took about 5 minutes though

trying again, just getting the not responding loading wheel

cerulean ether Apr 12, 2018, 9:53 PM

well, all in all I've gotten it to load and get past the splash screen from both the A3 launcher and the Arma launcher. Unfortunately just have a 3 minute 30 second wait for getting past "loading profile" with or without mods activated. strange

fallow remnant Apr 12, 2018, 10:15 PM

what is this A3 launcher?

#

Arma3Sync?

#

If so, then probably use the full name, as to the casual reader the "A3 launcher" and "Arma launcher" are the same thing

cerulean ether Apr 12, 2018, 10:22 PM

you are not familar with the A3 Launcher? what?

#

so there is the Arma launcher which launches when you start arma. Then there is a program named "A3 Launcher" which is like, a godsent

its the holy grail

you click on a server, it downloads every mod you need, and bam. youre in. literally 1 click @fallow remnant

Other people in my unit & I have been experiencing this issue with not being able to connect to the server. We receive varying issues. I received one about the YuEmod. Apparently most of the issues that I would presume to be preventative of the server running would be those of the Extended Event Handler according to the server logs. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? Our operation is intended to start in 45 minutes, so if someone could reply soon, then that would be great.

^ I'm having the same issue, but I cannot even install BattlEye again... I've turned my firewall off, all AV's are off. Ran as admin and still just failing. I've deleted all the BE folder in the common files and ArmA 3 root and then verify files, still nothing...

cobalt ginkgo Apr 13, 2018, 9:07 PM

#

if its just one server note its IP and try to ping it from CMD like ping -t IP.ADRESS.HERE or do tracert IP.ADRESS.HERE
might be just the route broken between ISPs, or uh bad luck you IP is blocked for some reason
try to flush your DNS or even change from default to say google DNS or OpenDns or vice versa

#

and I mean, dont do anything radical if you cant connect to one damn server, its more likely that the problem is not with your game nor pc, dont go bonkers and reinstall windoze trying to make it works, cause it likely wont

#

other than that if you got some mods on and server prohibits mods you cant connect, or the ther way, server is playing mission which require some mods but youre missing them

Where do I define custom difficulty for a server?

wise barn Apr 14, 2018, 12:57 AM

#

in the myawsomecustomdifficultyfileformyarmaserver.wow

#

JK

#

10seconds of google got me this

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.armaprofile

golden yoke Apr 14, 2018, 12:57 AM

#

Yeah I have the custom class for the difficulty

#

just dont know where to put it

#

Do I just put it right into the server.cfg?

wise barn Apr 14, 2018, 12:58 AM

#

i guess

#

makes sense

#

one way to find it out 😉

#

i'd say put
forcedDifficulty = "<myCustomDifficultyClass>";
somewhere in the //ingame settings of the example config

golden yoke Apr 14, 2018, 1:09 AM

#

So I just threw this inot my server.cfg

#

https://pastebin.com/Z5JEHJN7

#

It shows Difficulty as "CustomDifficulty (forced)" so I think it does work

#

Didnt actually go in game to see if it applied though

#

No that doesnt work

#

I can still see crosshair and stuff

#

oh I see there is literally a profile called server.ArmA3Profile in cfg/users/server'

wanton shale Apr 14, 2018, 1:24 AM

#

in your server startup params you have this things:
-config=<path to server.cfg> add there forcedDifficulty = "custom";
-profiles=<path to folder with profiles> < there you should have folder with name as you set in startup param -name=<some name> < in that folder you should have <some name>.Arma3Profile < there should be defined your class CustomDifficulty {... 😀

#

ez

wanton shale Apr 14, 2018, 1:50 AM

#

or not 🤔

golden yoke Apr 14, 2018, 1:55 AM

#

It still doesnt seem to work

#

I still see my crosshair and stuff

#

Here is a copy of my server.ArmA3Profile

#

https://pastebin.com/RL0cV6aw

#

When I select mission I do see Difficulty: "CustomDifficulty (Forced)"

#

but when I actually play I still get a crosshair and waypoints and stuff

wanton shale Apr 14, 2018, 2:20 AM

#

no that is wrong

#

this is what you should have there https://pastebin.com/BMnV6dhN

#

you had class Difficulties but you need class DifficultyPresets check this https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.armaprofile#Arma_3

golden yoke Apr 14, 2018, 2:25 AM

#

And for forceDifficulty I just use "Custom" right? not "CustomDifficulty"

wanton shale Apr 14, 2018, 2:25 AM

#

yes

#

also adjust settings there, i just copy pasted them from my profile...

golden yoke Apr 14, 2018, 2:26 AM

How do I tell what mods I need to load onto my server

#

and which ones are client side onlyu

cobalt ginkgo Apr 14, 2018, 10:38 AM

#

client side mods are usually effects mods, like sounds, animations and .. well effects

#

you dont want/need those on the server unless mod maker states otherwise

#

but if you want to allow people that use them to be able to play on your server, you should add its bikeys to the keys directory on the server
and adding a key requires a reboot of the server

cobalt ginkgo Apr 14, 2018, 5:05 PM

actually if you system drive is close to full, page file has no room where to expand

#

so it may run out of memory and throw errors, but that if youre really low on space

#

keep any partition at 10-20% free space to avoid problems and heavy fragmentation even on HDDs

Hello I am curious to see if any one has run into the issue of the dead error that crashes the game before you can even load in?

#

Also sorry if I did post in the wrong area but it seems like this would be the best place to ask also will supply any more information if needed

quaint jewel Apr 16, 2018, 5:56 AM

#

0xDEAD?

#

Your get a error message before it "crashes". It doesn't crash. it kills itself because of that error

grave egret Apr 16, 2018, 5:57 AM

#

I believe so I can try to relaunch to confirm but I am pretty sure it's that error

quaint jewel Apr 16, 2018, 5:58 AM

#

you first get a error message telling you what the problem is. Once you click that away you get the 0xDEAD crash

grave egret Apr 16, 2018, 5:59 AM

#

I am pretty sure but I am going to launch just to make sure it is as I do not wish to waste anyone's time with the wrong error

#

Yup it is the 0xdead error

#

It is the only game I get that error

quaint jewel Apr 16, 2018, 6:04 AM

#

Do you read what I tell you

#

0xDEAD just means "I just killed myself because of the error I just showed to you"

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Crash_Files#Arma_3 The RPT should also tell you the error.

@fringe salmon since you chose to only tell the +11,000 people here about your 3 TB drive, how do you expect them to think otherwise? If you’ve ever heard of FIFO, you’ll have heard (and understand) of GIGO.

which one is more likely to stop the FCS from working? ArmA 3 Difficulty Settings or ACE3?

ACE3

fringe salmon Apr 22, 2018, 4:48 PM

#

any setting that would do that? I've looked through them all but nothing sounds related

inland kayak Apr 22, 2018, 4:49 PM

#

what do you mean by "the FCS stop working"?

fringe salmon Apr 22, 2018, 5:03 PM

#

as in, I can spam/hold/tick the T, R, Tab buttons and all combination as frequently as I want, but the FCS does fuckall. No range, no automatic ranging of the turret, nothing

#

my key for ACE's lockon is 'T'

#

works totally fine in the virtual arsenal

fading pulsar Apr 22, 2018, 5:09 PM

#

As far as I'm aware automatic ranging is done by lasing and locking onto your laser, or locking to the vehicle, to range "manually" it's the same key for the rangefinders which afaik is T by default but may be conflicting

inland kayak Apr 22, 2018, 5:19 PM

#

didn't it get changed to numpad * by an update?

fringe salmon Apr 22, 2018, 5:42 PM

doesn't do anything

but it works with the regular keybinds fine in the arsenal

fringe salmon Apr 22, 2018, 6:09 PM

#

not even documentation on it

there an ACE3 discord I can ask about it?

inland kayak Apr 22, 2018, 6:23 PM

#

a slack yes.

fringe salmon Apr 22, 2018, 6:37 PM

#

hm is there a setting in the editor that fucks it up maybe? I have a mission that was "made" before the Tank DLC update where the FCS doesn't work, but a new mission created does work with FCS 🤔

#

@inland kayak if something works with ACE3 in the virtual arsenal/garage but not on a mission/server, it's not related to ACE3 right?

inland kayak Apr 22, 2018, 6:48 PM

#

I'd say no, it's maybe a setting you forgot about?

fringe salmon Apr 22, 2018, 6:51 PM

#

is there any settings that goes around FCS? I keep looking everywhere but there's no option (and there's not even documentation on any FCS functions)

#

so I wouldn't know anything that would enable/disable FCS

#

unless it's purely the case of "if you place this in a mission created before the Tank DLC, you won't have FCS"

inland kayak Apr 22, 2018, 6:54 PM

#

I doubt that's the case

fringe salmon Apr 22, 2018, 6:56 PM

#

maybe a terrain-altering mod

#

Winter 2035

Open up your Username.Arma3Profile in Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\YourUsername using a text editor (Notepad++ is usually the best option).

Find and change:

 useImperialSystem=1;
to
 useImperialSystem=0;

see... i can google

I changed the useImperialSystem to 1 because it was already on 0

And you didn't answer if it's AI driven

#

if so then AI probably noticed the mine and decided not to kill itself 😄

blazing heart Apr 26, 2018, 7:54 PM

#

I mean, yes. It's the VR training.

#

It's supposed to kill itself.

#

Testing if restarting my game fixes it.

#

Nope.

quaint jewel Apr 26, 2018, 8:02 PM

wanted to try it myself. can't get past the mine defusal part because the defuse action doesn't show up

Interesting!

Restarting the game doesn't change anything..

having a bit of a problem with our server, we click launch, it starts up, then drops CPU usage to 0% and doesnt load the mission file, i have the RPT for anyone who would be willing to help. PM me or message me here to PM you if you'd like it.

You could've also uploaded the RPT somewhere and provided the link to make this quicker. Feel free to PM me the RPT.

-noPause -noSound -world=empty make no sense at all on a server.
-exThreads=7 -enableHT doesn't do anything good for you. Arma can detect that by itself.
-ranking="" -par="" "-servermod=" Why do you have multiple empty parameters. Even with different quotation style..
Your mods @1stsog @rh_pistol @military_gear @boc @ace_compat_rhsgref @rhscaucusus @rhssaf @rhsgref @3cb_baf_equipent(obvious typo) @chernarus_redux are not found. You should either stop trying to load mods that you don't have. Or fix the mod names if you actually have them

so, for 1, 2 and 3, all of that is in the command line, thats sadly stuff i cant change as its hosted through hosthavoc, 4, i know how to fix, and i see where our server owner goofed, and 5, i have no idea about, UI_helper was removed yet CBA seems to still be trying to load it maybe? i dont know. any idea on how to fix UI_Helper error from trying to load?

quaint jewel Apr 27, 2018, 7:26 AM

you still have the ui_helper pbo in your cba. Although it was removed 2 versions ago and each update of the last 2 CBA update contained a big
"
>>> WARNING! <<<
This release removes a pbo file and key. Make sure to delete the old @CBA_A3 folder before dropping the patched version into your game directory.
"
Warning.. I'm guessing someone thought he could just ignore that while updating cba

next garnet Apr 27, 2018, 7:30 AM

yeah, sadly i havent handled the past updates, its been the server owner, they generally call me when things really break, and today, the RPT log i sent you, i couldnt figure out, thanks for the assistance! although ive just been informed Hosthavoc suspended our server due to a 2 day late payment that we were never notified of, so alas, cant fix a server that doesnt exist, but once again, thank you for the assistance!

@quaint jewel re: defusal you have to "identify" the mine with T before the defuse action shows up.

I believe they did that so you don't accidentally reveal mines by happening to look at them while looking around

you have to look straight at them for a second to properly identify them

I have a problem

#

Arma 3 was running fine yesterday

#

but today...

#

It keeps crashing on startup with "bad module info stopped working"

#

I changed the memalloc to Intel, but now it randomly crashes in game with that certain error

quaint jewel Apr 27, 2018, 4:58 PM

#

Can you send me your RPT? https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Crash_Files#Arma_3 Just send file via PM is fine. Or upload anywhere

craggy cloud Apr 27, 2018, 4:58 PM

#

and yes, I have tried disabling fullscreen optimisation. It doesnt do anything

quaint jewel Apr 27, 2018, 4:59 PM

#

"bad module info" means nothing.
It's just saying "your game crashed for a unknown reason"

craggy cloud Apr 27, 2018, 5:00 PM

#

weird thing is that after some of those crashes, I get a BSOD

quaint jewel Apr 27, 2018, 5:00 PM

#

you have -noLogs enabled. Thus your logfile is empty.
The start parameters -high -cpuCount=2 -exThreads=7 -enableHT make no sense and you should remove them.

#

You only have 4GB of Ram and 2.7GB available when starting Arma. That might be not enough for 64 bit Arma

craggy cloud Apr 27, 2018, 5:01 PM

#

as I said

#

the game was running really well yesterday

#

but today, it started doing this

#

It all started just today

quaint jewel Apr 27, 2018, 5:02 PM

#

I'd say remove the useless start parameters. And run 32bit Arma.
If it still doesn't fix it remove -noLogs so you get an actual logfile and send me that again

craggy cloud Apr 27, 2018, 5:02 PM

#

ok

#

that is really weird tho

#

nevermind

quaint jewel Apr 27, 2018, 5:03 PM

#

Any problems before yesterday?
Could be that today there is just not enough memory free for Arma. While yesterday it was

craggy cloud Apr 27, 2018, 5:03 PM

#

no problems

#

the game ran fine

#

The game doesnt crash on 32 bit

#

I dont think it was a problem with memory since Arma tends to send the "memory allocation on ****** bits failed" error when that thing happens

#

used to happen a lot before I switched to a 64 bit OS

#

I will be upgrading to 8GB RAM next week anyways

#

I wanted to upgrade the RAM for a long time and a new RAMstick was delivered to me this wednesday but it is not installed yet

#

so I will tell you if it fixed the issue for 64 bit executables later

#

and about the nologs

#

I heard it improves performance somewhere

#

but I will disable it just in case

wise barn Apr 27, 2018, 6:14 PM

#

You where misinformed. -noLog doesn't give you a better performance, only a hard time finding errors.

quaint jewel Apr 27, 2018, 6:14 PM

#

-noLog actually does give better performance

#

if some script is spamming the crap out of the logs.
At which point it probably doesn't matter anymore anyway

I have footpedals, but the analog Reverse function seems to be useless - even at 10% input, my cars go full speed to the rear. This is distressing, as pulling back slowly and smoothly is just as useful as going forwards. Is it supposed to be bound differently? Or is reverse always one speed fits none?

Would there be a reason I would be getting the Can not create DX11 device Error E_OUTOFMEMORY on a GTX 1070 and i7 6700k?

#

this is on arma 3 mind you

quaint jewel Apr 29, 2018, 9:32 AM

#

well out of memory.
Maybe your page file is disabled? I know Arma has problems with that

faint tusk Apr 29, 2018, 9:33 AM

#

where would i go to change that, i assume its a windows systems change

#

nvm found it, but why would virtual memory cause this issue, if the GPU has plenty of VRAM + 16 GB of RAM, is it just that picky?

fallow remnant Apr 29, 2018, 10:15 AM

#

Well, afaik pagefile has more to it than just being an overflow container for main memory

faint tusk Apr 29, 2018, 10:30 AM

#

so disabling the pagefile lets me play for a little, and then when the game hits 8GB of memory, it says im out... even though I have 16GB. So disabling the pagefile isn't a long term fix, should i just set a pagefile size manually, or leave the system to handle it and try and fix it another way?

quaint jewel Apr 29, 2018, 11:04 AM

#

The page file should not be disabled

fallow remnant Apr 29, 2018, 11:42 AM

You can try maxmem param, Arma will only try not going over it*

lunar sequoia Apr 29, 2018, 2:03 PM

#

are you using the 32bit exe or the 64bit one? (along with appropriate memory allocator dll for the executable version, set in launcher) the dx error your getting is usually due to vram or possibly dodgy system ram, but when you mention it caps out at 8gb when you have 16gb it makes me think you are using the 32bit game executable,.

faint tusk Apr 29, 2018, 2:14 PM

#

its set to 64bit, and I set the page file back to auto, with program usage dictating the max size (4GB) and min (500MB) based on program needs, and it last longer, bust still will cut out at times saying Memory full (8GB)

tidal niche Apr 29, 2018, 2:25 PM

@fallow remnant its not working with steam do you know how to set it up i use a Kotion Each

@faint tusk I know of quite a few people that are getting the issue, I myself have had it, there is a very simple fix, in your arma.cfg remove the values from the following

forcedAdapterId=-;
detectedAdapterId=;
detectedAdapterVendorId=;
detectedAdapterDeviceId=;
detectedAdapterSubSysId=;
detectedAdapterRevision=;

that should fix it

I think it may have been forgotten after the 64bit port, since for almost everyone it stopped occurring once Arma was about to use more than 2-3GB of memory

fringe salmon May 2, 2018, 9:47 AM

#

I haven't seen it since moving to 64 bit but there is a slow memory leak somewhere from what I can see so it probably will happen eventually even on the 64 bit client.

If x64 is 64bit, then it stands to reason that there's x32 right? And x86 must be 86bit? 😉

#

My fps is terrible, arma will only use 4 Gb of ram even tough i have 16 Gbs

#

I'm assuming you're not using a 32-bit OS, nor are you using the 32-bit Arma binary?

#

because in that case it's possible Arma doesn't need to use more

#

although i think i've seen it use around 5GB

#

out of 16

#

My fps is terrible define terrible

#

and what are the rest of your specs?

#

Hey thanks for your help, I'm running 64x arma with Windows 7 64 Bit

#

I have a 1070 & A xeon E5-1650 12 threads @3.50 ghz

#

16 Gb DDR3 @ 1600 Mhz 11 11

#

I'm playing KOTH

#

I have bad fps (30 - 40 Fps in spawn) and when a lot of fights happen it can loose it's shit and freeze for ~30 s at 1 fps

fallow remnant May 5, 2018, 9:49 PM

#

30-40 is honestly normal for a DDR3 system in multiplayer

#

The part where it hits 1 FPS could be the "3 FPS bug", or a bad script

#

Is this official KotH or a modded server?

wraith quarry May 5, 2018, 9:50 PM

#

Code4

#

Official

#

What i meant by 1 fps

#

Wasnt a steady 1 fps

#

Just overrall harcore lag

fallow remnant May 5, 2018, 9:51 PM

#

Okay

#

I don't think there's much of a fix for it beyond using #perf_prof_branch

wise barn May 5, 2018, 9:51 PM

#

install arma on a SSD

#

Thats the problem

fallow remnant May 5, 2018, 9:53 PM

#

That's not the problem

#

That's normal

wraith quarry May 5, 2018, 9:53 PM

#

Is it

#

Even tough Arma is runned in admin it won't use standby ram

#

And if I wan't to get DDR4 I will need to change my motherboard & processor

fallow remnant May 5, 2018, 9:58 PM

#

Yeah, games don't just fill up RAM for no reason

#

if it doesn't need to it wont

#

Arma is sensitive to CPU performance and memory bandwidth

#

And disk speed

#

oh that's a Sandy Bridge Xeon?

#

Yeah, then that's perfectly normal performance.

#

The 30 second freeze is not normal though

wraith quarry May 5, 2018, 10:00 PM

#

I don't really know, I bough a fujistu workstation that had the xeon, the motherboard and a quadro p6000

#

As you can see in the screenshot you posted. Only 62MB of your memory is unused

wraith quarry May 5, 2018, 10:01 PM

#

Other games like battlefield 1 Use all of my ressources very well

fallow remnant May 5, 2018, 10:01 PM

#

to be fair, he did say "standby RAM" 😄

wraith quarry May 5, 2018, 10:01 PM

#

While arma 3 will NEVER use more than 4.8 Gb

#

Of RAM

quaint jewel May 5, 2018, 10:01 PM

#

That's a lie

wraith quarry May 5, 2018, 10:01 PM

#

Thats true.

quaint jewel May 5, 2018, 10:01 PM

#

I just had to kill Arma at 7GB

wraith quarry May 5, 2018, 10:02 PM

#

I'm speaking of my arma wich seems fucked

quaint jewel May 5, 2018, 10:02 PM

#

Because it was leaking memory. And Arma only uses what it needs

#

and 5GB sounds normal

fallow remnant May 5, 2018, 10:02 PM

#

Yup

#

Memory isn't the issue. You have a 6 year old processor, and presumably an HDD instead of an SSD?

wraith quarry May 5, 2018, 10:03 PM

#

Yep

quaint jewel May 5, 2018, 10:03 PM

#

Your fps problem is not that. you can use profiling build from #perf_prof_branch to check what exactly is causing the issue instead of speculating

fallow remnant May 5, 2018, 10:03 PM

#

Arma doesn't really use more than a single thread either

wise barn May 5, 2018, 10:03 PM

#

get an ssd and half your problems are gone

wraith quarry May 5, 2018, 10:03 PM

#

Yeah I'll factory reset my pc and get an SSD

#

Thanks for the help

#

Also commy2 is this a meme command or it's a real one?

fallow remnant May 5, 2018, 10:03 PM

#

performance/profiling branch may help solve the 30 second freezes too

jaunty badger May 5, 2018, 10:04 PM

#

I'm trying to make it a meme.

wraith quarry May 5, 2018, 10:04 PM

#

My hopes are dead.

quaint jewel May 5, 2018, 10:04 PM

#

@fallow remnant no it won't. It's not magic.

fallow remnant May 5, 2018, 10:04 PM

#

I know, but i think they did fix a bunch of things since 1.82 dropped?

wise barn May 5, 2018, 10:04 PM

#

😉

fallow remnant May 5, 2018, 10:04 PM

#

although mostly crash fixes

wraith quarry May 5, 2018, 10:04 PM

#

Is arma using the same engine since the first one or what

quaint jewel May 5, 2018, 10:04 PM

#

A couple crashes yeah

#

yeah

#

mostly

wraith quarry May 5, 2018, 10:05 PM

#

Lol really

quaint jewel May 5, 2018, 10:05 PM

#

yeah

wraith quarry May 5, 2018, 10:05 PM

#

Damn

#

That explains the perfs

#

So an SSD will make my fps more steady?

quaint jewel May 5, 2018, 10:06 PM

#

yeah. It will get rid of most of the drops that happen when arma is loading stuff from disk

wraith quarry May 5, 2018, 10:06 PM

#

I have a 1tb samsung one that I need to install

#

Well i'll format my pc this night, thanks for the help guys

fallow remnant May 5, 2018, 10:07 PM

#

cheers, and good luck

wise barn May 5, 2018, 10:07 PM

#

get a ssd for system and arma (256GB or more) and keep your old as data/programm/media/whatever storage

wraith quarry May 5, 2018, 10:08 PM

#

Nah I'll just format my PC since it's a 1 TB

#

I'll just keep steam and stuff

#

for huge performance change in arma you need a really powerful single threaded cpu

#

for example the 7350k overclocked can outperform several other better multi threaded cpu

#

in arma fps

Can anyone help me get into a game with my friend?

#

We just want to play a co op game together alone, how do we set up a server?

fallow remnant May 6, 2018, 7:27 AM

#

@proven grove go to multiplayer -> host game, and then invite your friend via Steam or ask them to use the server browser (filter by friends)

Hello! Sorry for my english. Please help me, I just bought myself ArmA 3 APEX EDITION, but I can not go to any server. Writes that "you were kicked from the game." A friend says that at this time in the chat server wrote a message "signature check timed out". Please, help. This is not a mod issue (even on simple ArmA servers without mods there is this error). The reinstallation of the game did not help

edgy zodiac May 6, 2018, 8:14 AM

#

it's a ping issue i think

#

try to play a small coop with your friend

#

or it may be you are launching arma 3 not in administrator mode and battleye can't access your game or something like that

#

see if your firewall is blocking battleye

silent trellis May 6, 2018, 8:14 AM

#

Like this? @Steiny go to multiplayer -> host game, and then invite your friend via Steam or ask them to use the server browser (filter by friends)

#

How to see that?

edgy zodiac May 6, 2018, 8:15 AM

#

go to your arma 3 folder, right click arma3_x64.exe > properties and see if it's running in administrator mode

#

you could try to play with your friend and see

#

try dynamic recon ops in the steam workshop

#

you may need to open some ports or choose upnp when hosting though, you just need to try
