I NEED SOME HELP
arma deletd some controls
and now when i restore those controls its conflicting
wise barn
Conflicting with what?
wise barn
Well, rebind the Conflicting controlls then
carmine crown
i
i use the prefixes
and it did not work
it just put the binds in the command section again
jaunty badger
You need to confirm the changes by pressing OK. If you use ESC, you discard all changes.
jaunty badger
You probably just misremember. Or maybe you used one of those templates.
carmine crown
what templates
jaunty badger
"prefixes" as in Shift, Ctrl, Alt?
carmine crown
no as in the control prefix
jaunty badger
๐ค
carmine crown
sos im mean presets
jaunty badger
Yeah, presets is the same as the templates I was talking about.
jaunty badger
One of these templates could very well have itself a conflict. Or maybe the template has some keybind unbound, and it carries over what you bound it to previously and that conflicts.
It's no big deal. Sometimes it marks stuff as conflict and it's no problem in game.
carmine crown
so how do i fix it
jaunty badger
Heck, my setting has some conflicts.
so how do i fix it
By changing the bind of the conflicting keyaction.
jaunty badger
What do you mean "does not work"? If two actions conflict, they should just activate both at the same time.
carmine crown
thats the problem i dont wont them to avtivate at the same time
it never did that before
jaunty badger
Then change the keybind of one of them to something else.
carmine crown
k
jaunty badger
Sorry, but I don't understand what your problem is.
carmine crown
dammit
jaunty badger
If English is not your native language, I can speak German, about ten words Russian, and I had Latin classes ten years ago.
carmine crown
wait do you have a mic
jaunty badger
No.
turbid relic
whats the problem
jaunty badger
What did you do? What was the issue?
carmine crown
keys are still conflitng but the menu not popping in any more

might i suggest to delete the config file and reverify hash

Hey, I have on a server Arma 3 Dedicated Server installed, the server self works fine, but when I wanna load the Altis Life mission as Admin I get a short loading screen and end up in the mission choosing screen again, when I try it as normal player the mission is grey so I can`t vote for it, I have no idea where the issue is. Would be very nice if somebody could help me
wise barn
Alwas check the rpt files (server and local). If smth went wrong, it's shown in the files
@vocal orchid
vocal orchid
@wise barn So I checked now the logs, and there it says: Can't find a mission collection / mission with template name: 'Altis_Life.Altis', skipping to next mission.
chrome current
So, what is your mission file name?
vocal orchid
The folder in the mpmissions folder is called: Altis_Life.Altis same as in the logs
chrome current
A dedi server needs a published mission in a .pbo
vocal orchid
I had Altis Life 4.4 installed (I guess) before I changed to 5.0 and on the 4.4 version I only had pbo files instead of folders, so I have to switch back right?
chrome current
No, just put it in a pbo.
Move the mission folder to your editor missions folder, open it up, and export for Multiplayer.
vocal orchid
So I just could use PBO Manager, change that folders to pbo datas and it should work
chrome current
Likely
vocal orchid
Ok, I will try it, thanks for you help
vocal orchid
Ok, I changed everything to a pbo but it still won`t work
But now the logs say: Mission Altis_Life.Altis read from bank.
chrome current
Load it up in the editor and see if it runs on a listen server.
uncut trellis
@vocal orchid have you asked the makers of the mission for help setting it up?
vocal orchid
I brought the server to run, but I get kicked vom SpyGlass lmao even if I log in as Admin, but thanks to everybody that helped me it does finally work

Having a problem with an analogue controller (as in Joysticks) where, in playing ArmA, the axis only provides half the expected effect - IE. at 100% right ArmA only reads 50% right, whereas Windows reads 100% right.
fading pulsar
Any other inputs binded? If so remove them
fringe salmon
Hope this is the right channel. So me and my unit use ALiVE, before we had a server and it would use about 6GB of RAM towards the end of the session, there was about 8GB on it and we played the missions without a single issue. Now that we've switched to a Server Box and installed TADST server, our RAM is capped at 4.3GB and once the mission reaches that limit there is tons of input lag, AI doesn't take damage, people's guns are shooting for like a good 10 seconds after they've finished.
Anyone got a solution for this, we've been unable to find one.
wise barn
@fringe salmon
Try #server_admins
fringe salmon
Right, I'll post it there, thanks.
quaint jewel
This is #arma3_troubleshooting tho.. Sounds fine to me
wise barn
@quaint jewel
It's server related, so fastet help in the server channels i guess
fringe salmon
I'll just post it in both and see where that goes.
fringe salmon
64-bit ArmA yes, and I can give you the parameters, we've been switching them a lot trying to find the issue
-ip=204.12.238.26 -nologs -high -hugepages -d3dNoLock -loadMissionToMemory - These are the latest we've been using
quaint jewel
-high doesn't exist. -d3dNoLock doesn't make sense on a server that is not rendering anything
Can you send me the first 10 lines of your server log? It should list the start parameters and a bit more info. You might have to disable -noLogs
fringe salmon
.rpt logs yes?
Keep in mind I'm just a mission dev on the unit not really in charge of this so I don't know that much about it.
quaint jewel
yeah
fringe salmon
Yeah my buddy's gonna post it any second now he's using the server so.
outer portal
Alright, posting here on behalf of @fringe salmon .
https://pastebin.com/ZqvW71Gr
quaint jewel
I think it doesn't show all start parameters because there are so many mods.
But from what I can see, I can see nothing wrong.
outer portal
I'm thinking TADST config, perhaps we set it up poorly.
As Flash said, we didn't have this issue on our classic game server. RAM usage was fine and dandy and we were happy with the server responsiveness.
quaint jewel
the only way to limit memory usage is start parameter. But might very well be that tadst is hiding parameters from you
if you start without mods the RPT will show you all parameters
outer portal
Will check soon.

But I can't imagine what's wrong
That is to say it worked
Several errors from CBA but it may not be critical
fringe salmon
Okay another issue here, so whilst fixing networking issues, we ran into a problem that breaks my logical thinking now:
When in the server, a player shoots an AI, it takes about 5 seconds for said AI to die, HOWEVER
If the player takes over another AI through Zeus Direct Control, and then shoots the AI, it does it instantly
I have lost any idea as to what could be possibly causing this issue
oak stream
Any mods running?
fringe salmon
Yes there are, however we tested this, it only happens when ACE is enabled, doesn't matter if ACE is the only mod, or if there are 200 other mods enabled
We belive that the issue might be caused by missing ACE server files but we've been unable to find these
All of the mods that are running on the server were downloaded from the steam workshop
oak stream
Check your advanced medical settings under "prevent instanteous death" or something like that, can't remember the exact phrase.
Most likely it has something to do with ACE medical.
fringe salmon
You think that could do it? Weird
Alright I'll get back to you on this, we'll test it
oak stream
Use the new fancy CBA settings before starting up the mission in the map screen, you don't need to delete any PBOs or anything like that to configure these things anymore AFAIK. @fringe salmon
fringe salmon
Yup we know that
oak stream
Good.
fringe salmon
@oak stream it didn't do anything in the end
fringe salmon
Yeah so, disabling ACE allows us to have freaking 400 AI on the server without latency issues
With ACE we can only dream about such numbers

Hi, i need help with my arma server. I updated it and know i get everytime a runtime error but it works before the update

Details are in the cake
desert isle
The answer is in your question. It worked before the update but now it does not. So, something during the update is the most likely culprit. Unfortunately, as you have not said WHAT was updated or HOW it was updated, we have no way to help without further info.
rain wave
That doesn't help either. Answer: What error? What does it say? What is your current setup and how can it differ from your previous configurations?

I'm having issues loading a map on my server and I think it's an issue with ACE3 but I'm not entirely sure.
The map loads in the background but it immediately opens the map select screen again
swift mesa
Correction: Map loads but loops role select screen
swift mesa
I tried a built in mission and it just locks on "Wait for Host"
wise barn
check RPT files
swift mesa
Sigh If only it generated those
wise barn
it does, unless you disable it manually
swift mesa
Or you're on linux where no logs are generated except in stdout
The most significant looking is "CallExtension 'ace_medical' could not be found"
There's also "a3_data_f_tank_loadorder" missing
Missing script from asr_ai3
That's pretty much everything it spits out whenever it loops
BE Also keeps failing
Being a private server I'll look into disabling BE
Redownloaded the map from workshop. Didn't help
I've run this map before
It does work
Somethings wrong with the server probably the mods
Vanilla maps get stuck on "Wait for Host" and custom map gets in role assignment loop
fading pulsar
Verify the server files
wanton shale
there was game/server updates, maybe you missed them, TYKUHN2
swift mesa
The update didn't help much
quaint jewel
@swift mesa you are on legacy? ACE doesn't work with that. You have to use a older ace version then.
Or you're on linux where no logs are generated except in stdout
The most significant looking is "CallExtension 'ace_medical' could not be found"
Wrong. there is also everything that would be in the RPT in stderr. Just look at it.
And the most significant looking thing is the most insignificant. The extension doesn't exist for linux.

GPU crash?
That error suggests the GPU was "hot removed" in some form
Which is funny because windows has a tendency to crash on hot removes
quaint jewel
could also be driver crash. The last couple months of Nvidia drivers crash daily for me. Sometimes multiple times in just an hour. Everything freezes for a couple seconds then my screen goes black and comes back with a "recovered from a driver crash" message
swift mesa
Mine often times just locks up the CPU and audio chip until restart
Becauee reasons
(Don't ask novideo to help, they'll always say get some kind of better PSU or something)
@eager cedar what happens before the crash?
And what GPU do you have?

@eager cedar someone posted here yesterday that Nvidia's latest driver fixes this issue.

Did novideo finally do something good?

So it just occured randomly?
One reason Steam might redownload the mods is if they somehow got corrupted. I assume it redownloaded everything?

In my experience Steam just seems to do that sometimes for no apparent reason. It is just another reason why we don't use it as the primary mechanism for syncing mods.

Because this is holding my unit from doing any ops.

a "Ace.Maverick PBO File error." Can we maybe get the actual error and not "something like this"

It is saying that your "Data file"/pbo is "too short"/too short.
Meaning it should be longer than it is. usually caused by uploads getting aborted before they are done

Upload the whole file and then it keeps doing this untill the whole file is uploaded just to loop again. Re-installed the server, the mod. No idea what else to do. Saying skip gives me the file is too short error

quaint jewel
A mod is doing idiotic stuff that it should've never been doing
you are doing some quite weird stuff there
the -maxMem is useless. -exThreads worsens your performance. -noCB should only affects clients. If it also affects servers then it also worsens your performance.
Why are you loading client-side only mods as -serverMod?
Why is your TFAR named incorrectly?
Why is your ACE rhs compat outdated?
stuck on loading screen is most likely clientside. Would need that RPT too

That's a lot of mods.

Ended up uploading a exact mirror of my loaded mods. Same issue. And between myself and server I already transferred well over 100gb of data in the past few days. And in terms of memory available it should be 14gb

@oak stream i'm having a problem with TFAR when hosting a server through the ingame multiplayer-start (hosting a server through the game to play some little coop missions with 2 of my friends). TFAR works fine for something like 2 minutes and then i'm not even sure what happens. on teamspeak, it shows that i'm continously sending. in arma, i cant hear anyone and noone can hear me. the weirdest thing: i cant open any new internet connections (like new tabs on a browser). does anyone have the slightest idea of what could be going on here?
is it because i'm not running a dedicated server on another machine?
frosty crypt
Iโve got another problem thats probably simple to fix, Iโve got a dedicated server and when I load a mission (that has mods) Iโve made in the editor. It gives the the following error:
โNo entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgWorlds.xxx"
The problem is the server has got the required mods loaded etc. so I cant figure out why the mission wont load. Someone said on a forum I need to have the map assigned in the modlist? but Iโm confused by what that means.
Mods Iโve got are the CUP terrain mods, Esseker, Enhanced Movement and Zombies and Demons. Any help is appreciated.
โxxxโ is whatever custom map I try load.
quaint jewel
@sand patio not being able to open tabs in your browser doesn't sound like a TFAR or Arma issue
@frosty crypt give me the error without the xxx
You need to load the mod that contains the map if you want to use the map.
frosty crypt
Ok sure @bronze ocean Iโll repost my question when I get on my pc, and Iโll repost my question then.

Oh, and in case you don't know, Dedmen is one of the current maintainers/developers of TFAR.

You could try if the TFAR beta works for you. Just search for "TFAR beta" on workshop uploaded by me with tons of exclamation marks

Yes, It's happening throughout all the servers, which makes me believe it's nothing server side
rain wave
Because this is almost always either your connection or the server connection to you
thorny ledge
It's only for Arma 3 servers which is making me question what's actually happening
I've tried resetting my internet, verifying my game cache, trying different servers and It's not changed anything
So i'm pretty stumped on what to do
fading sequoia
Yellow chain is pretty common. I saw it when I played with one of my friend 2 player coop that I hosted. He doesn't have good internet and I also saw the chain
thorny ledge
I understand that it's common, But it's constant, I get it from the second I join the server to the second I leave the server or get kicked
rain wave
@fading sequoia Clients can affect other clients connections and their performance iirc
fading sequoia
Is it almost constantly on your screen?
rain wave
Thus we have the ability to kick clients automatically with slow connections.
thorny ledge
It's constantly on my screen yes
fading sequoia
Oh well that's interesting
rain wave
Do you see any "rubberbanding" ?
thorny ledge
I don't get in game to see any rubber banding, the furthest I've got is hearing the bird sounds and effects. But when it first started to happen I did notice rubber banding. I assumed I was being DDOsed or something, But it was only in ArmA, not in TeamSpeak and has been happening for close to 2 days now
rain wave
Have you reset your pc and everything?
thorny ledge
I have tried all of that yes
fading sequoia
Maybe your ISP doesn't like Arma ๐
thorny ledge
That's what it seems like
rain wave
That's true. Ask your ISP to unblock arma ports
ISPs will block high traffic ports sometimes
thorny ledge
I don't know why it's started happening. I've got nearly 3k hours on Arma and have been playing it for ages, I don't get why it'd start happening now
fading sequoia
There have been some interesting issues with people in the years of Arma. In Arma 2 I had 2 month period when my internet would just cut down for couple of minutes after playing in Arma 2 multiplayer. It just suddenly happened and disappeared without a reason
thorny ledge
I've tried adding a port to my firewall and it's not made a difference
rain wave
Ask your isp to unblock it manually on their end
thorny ledge
Is there anyway to know that it's been blocked and that's the only solution?
rain wave
Ask. I don't think there is a definitive answer unless you get it straight from the hourses mouth

For Arma 3 Dedicated Servers apparently I need to do a specific launch commandline to load mods. How would I do this? This is what I have so far "@CUP_Terrains_Core;@CUP_Terrains_Maps; @Enhanced_Movement; @Esseker;@Fallujah_V1.2;@Zombies_and Demons"
quaint jewel
you need the same command line as on the clients
frosty crypt
as on the clients? Sorry, I'm all new to this, could you explain?
quaint jewel
-mod parameter and then all the modfolders seperated by semicolon
like you already have it but you have spaces inbetween
frosty crypt
so this "-mod=@CUP_Terrains_Core;@CUP_Terrains_Maps;@Enhanced_Movement;@Esseker;@Fallujah_V1.2;@Zombies_and Demons"
quaint jewel
missing the equal sign. And you still have spaces inbetween
frosty crypt
ah yeah
sorry my font makes it weird
Also, is it ok I renamed the addon folder names to match the commandline names? I just wanted to get rid of having to do quotations to show spaces
quaint jewel
all that matters is that it matches
frosty crypt
Just double checking, (server host being slow and a nuisance so I haven't seen if it works yet) but the mod folders e.g. "@Esseker" should be saved in the main directory (if thats the correct term) of the server? or in a specific "addon" folder?

there seems to be this weird issue with map mods that certain ones of them make you unable to load custom scenario saves (doesnt matter what map the scenario is on). it isnt the maps problem since i have the exact same thing happen to multible. one of the maps is australia, that i would really like to keep, but that would mean i cant load savegames anymore.
if you load manually. it says game over and you get thrown back in the custom scenario menu
if you lets say die and it auto loads. your camera becomes black and white and gets placed in a random spot. from there all you pretty much can do is leave
this doesnt seem to happen with normal mods.. just maps (that are also in the mod list because it has assets or something)
Just having the map australia loaded (and custom scenarios and stuff that isnt in the mod list) has same effect

How do I make helicopters stop flying in circles? I've had no luck with a basic seek & destroy waypoint, setting their behaviour to Careless & forcing them to hold fire isn't working either. Tried stringing them along with move waypoints, doesnt work even with a completion radius of 100 meters.
It seems like they're trying to get a better angle of attack, but the helis in question are little AH-60's and the path I've laid out is mostly straight forwards. I don't think it's an issue with their combat AI either, they haven't been dumping countermeasures and the enemy AA guns are either destroyed or pre-occupied by the time they're in range. I've also tried changing their position in the editor so they approach from a different angle, at this point I have no idea what else could be tried.

@wispy pond remind me what an AH-60 is? Is this a mod or vanilla helo? Also, does it have door guns or you want it to make gun runs?

AH-6, sorry. It's one of the base helicopters but it was renamed by ACE
AH-9 I think is the name in the base game
fallow remnant
Oh, the Pawnee/armed little bird
wispy pond
Yup
wispy pond
If I move it closer to the target it works fine, but it gets shredded by anti-air. My idea was to have rocket artillery get rid of the anti air, then move in the Pawnee's. Problem is that they just rotate in circles if they're too far from the waypoint
I've tried stringing them along with move waypoints, didn't seem to work
fallow remnant
Do they take off, or start airborne?
wispy pond
They start airborne
fallow remnant
I've had trouble getting their unarmed counterparts to land at the correct place before ๐ค
Try getting them to take off, maybe?
And maybe using careless mode until they're closer?
wispy pond
Already tried careless mode, I'll try out the take-off method
if not I'll just add an event handler and have them spawn in closer when the AA is destroyed
fallow remnant
Probably. Don't know why they're bugging out.
Almost seems like something worth testing a bit more and reporting
Because I'm half convinced something is broken with the MH-9 and AH-9
Although you're using mods too...
Try vanilla?
Or at least without ACE or any AI mods
wispy pond
Just wondering, does the AI have issues with CPU time?

It may, but only if you have really low FPS

ok so first you got to test without mods
so that its not something in the core game

Is there any way to quickly distinguish which mod is the problem without manually re-adding them all one at a time
uncut trellis
non
you can go halfsies and test that way
but other than that not really anything automated for that
And I doubt there could be because mods are all made with different standards

Would it matter if 3 mods had a missing depenency in terms of causing that issue?

If mods are missing what they require to work. Could that cause the mods to not work?
Yeah... Kinda
native citrus
Nah like the mods were a car and like a few units that needed an MP5 to spawn but it was affecting vanilla units too
desert isle
A โdependencyโ means the mod โneeds itโ to work properly, so if you are missing that dependency, no, it will not work correctly.
native citrus
I wasn't actually trying to use said mods however, I was just trying to spawn in a vanilla NATO rifleman
uncut trellis
bad config work can affect core elements

Please keep in mind that there are many hundreds of mods out there, but very few that are either stable or play well with other mods.

Considering I was running 100 before the issue this will take a while to root out the bad one

Running 100 mods is sub-optimal, especially when you donโt know how they interact with one another. Which leads to the issues you are having.

I'm currently going through my mods list in 3's to see what happens
fringe salmon
The fastest route to finding the offending mod is bisection. You run half the mods and then based on which half you see the problem in you keep halving until you are down to one or so mods. It is log n in the number of mods which makes it fairly rapid to find the problem mod. That assumes you can run without half the mods to show the problem.
Normally you have an idea about potentially which ones so you can eliminate a lot of the unlikely ones as part of the first check or reduce the candidates but practically it doesn't save much in the way of time that just dumbly halving as it is only a few steps to the answer anyway.
native citrus
I had tried that down to around 35 mods when the problem was fixed but I'm now comparing the functioning setup to the faulty one to see which mods have been removed

Okay that problems pretty much resolved, I've narrowed down my running mods and its working fine now except for an issue with ace

For savegames? E.g. adding a keydown handler.
Improper: from a mission init script, proper from a ui load script (of the mission display).

Hard to find a better example. It's mostly debugging on the model side. Assuming this specific Australia issue is from an asset.
I had problems with init events of power lines using ropex. Would crash when loading a save.

And australia is discontinued yes? So I guess a patch would need to be made

Completely remove Australia and try again. Also, it would help if you list the specific terrains your having issues with. Finally, each terrain should be tested individually, with no other mods loaded. The only exception being mods with dependencies .

Hi, I have been unable to play Arma 3 at all as of lately, I see you all were talking about Windows 10 and I think it fucked with me too.

Running from directory Arma3_x64 worked, Even though I didn't have the mods It launched me into a mission I have been trying to get working since the problem but it gave me the missing addons error.
fallow remnant
igfx makes it sound like integrated graphics
you sure it's using the right GPU?
check the RPT logs in %localappdata%\Arma 3\ with a text editor
should have some entries like
21:47:44 DX11 - Initializing DX11 engine.
21:47:44 DX11 - Using DXGI adapter 0 (detected in config).
21:47:44 DX11 - Using DXGI adapter 0.
21:47:44 - adapter description : NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M```(Sorry I had to go walk my dog) I will look but I just tested a scenario and it gave me infinite loading again.
I forget, how do you put it in a box?

I just noticed something weird, not sure if this is normal but when it lists the mods it doesn't show Arma 3 as listed.
Arma 3 | A3 | true | NOT FOUND |
fallow remnant
yeah that's fine
frosty slate
Ah okay, will go test video settings.
This is the damnedest thing, I talked with the mission maker and he doesn't see any problems with the mission either.
So I know it is me.
fallow remnant
well all i can suggest is, open a blank mission in the editor
see if that hangs or something
make sure you're running it without mods
if you have to force quit, then paste the contents of the latest RPT file on pastebin.com and post the link here
frosty slate
It works there. Maybe it is something with the mission?
fading pulsar
Perhaps
frosty slate
I tried the mission with RHS and CUP and that is when it hangs, when I try it vanilla and no mods at all it works.
I also run a Xheat admin console maybe it might be that?
*Xeat
fading pulsar
It might be that
frosty slate
Lil admin console mainly used for big servers like Life or Exile
I am checking my RHS's right now.
It has something to do with my RHS's
wise barn
what's the source of your RHS? steam ws?
frosty slate
Yea, the workshop. I just recently had a bug that made me redownload all of them so maybe it broke it somehow?
It just validates the mod over and over I think, never seen this glitch before.
It really fucked my steam and Arma up when my computer crashed...

@wise barn the sooner BIS gets a proper working linux client, we wont have to deal with MS... BS windows 10

Well I got it to launch again but it still won't load....
fallow remnant
have you figured out which mod is causing it?
fallow remnant
probably try reinstalling the mods
uncut trellis
is it from official source?
frosty slate
From Steam Workshop, reinstalled AFRF and USAF going to try to launch
Still doesn't work, thinking I might just uninstall all mods and reinstall those needed.
frosty slate
FINALLY, I fixed it. It was XEAT Admin Console.

Hi guys, I just woke up and went to do some stuff for my unit but for some reason I cant seem to launch arma. It goes through the inital loading screen fine but after that it just kinda goes into my background procosses and doesnt do anything.
here is the pastebin of my logs https://pastebin.com/04Y8Bjpf
quaint jewel
-cpuCount=8 is useless. empty -mod= too.
Other than that log doesn't show anything bad. Did you try to let steam repair your game files?
cloud walrus
yeah that was the first thing i did and it didnt find anything to repair so i tried to reinstall the game but to no avail
I tried it without battleye and now it just dies as soon as the initial loading is done
quaint jewel
"dies" aka crash?
cloud walrus
apparently its still running in the launcher according to task manager, not sure whats going on there
so instead of running in the background its running in the loader
quaint jewel
Random potentially unrelated thought. Are you using a USB headset?
cloud walrus
yeah I am using the Plantronics RIG 500
quaint jewel
try unplugging them and then starting arma
quaint jewel
Didn't even expect that. I thought USB headset's cause audio bugs and crashes. Didn't hear about a freeze before. But good to know.
Wonder if BI will fix that someday.. It's been a huge problem for over a year now
cloud walrus
yeah I noticed that the sound quality got really bad when I switched over to usb headset and that it would semicrash when in 1st-person inside helis but that it would cause these issues kind of baffles me tbh
fallow remnant
Oh god BI
wise barn
A trick that mostly fixes the usb sound issue:
Never ever use the win 10 auto driver detection and install.
Deinstall ALL audio drivers, go to the manufacture website, get the original driver, install them manually.
And only after insralling manually plug in the headset

You cannot divide by zero.

weatt have you considered going through some steps to isolate the problem
running the game without mods for example

Well. I think we know what your issue is then

Yeah, this totally isn't an issue at all.

If youโre not willing to troubleshoot, no one will be willing to help you.

You likely have a mod loaded that's doing some weird stuff and crashing the game.

Has anyone ever encountered the bug where sound just goes out mid-game?
Sounds everywhere else keep working
Plugging in headsets/changing playback devices doesn't seem to work
And needs a restart to start working again
placid token
I've heard of people tabbing out and losing sound that way, but if you're just losing it spontaneously something might be wrong.
thick olive
Yes, it goes out randomly
placid token
Try changing your window setting from Fullscreen to Fsc Windowed or vice versa - I think that's the workaround for the tabbing out loss, and it might fix your issue too.
quaint jewel
Arma can't handle changing audio devices. Maybe something resets your audio device for a brief period
thick olive
I would imagine in that case I'd have sound breaks from time to time while doing other stuff
Unless it would specifically be Arma causing it

Ctrl+T locks to area (Area mode), if camera is moved over a vehicle or similar object it will lock to that (Point mode) and should track even if the vehicle moves

Arma 3 Tools -> Project Drive Management -> Extract Game Data
Won't extract all pbos, is this a issue? I miss all the Arma 3 Main PBOs like weapons_f, weapons_f_beta, data_f it only extract the encrypted DLCs
quaint jewel
Correct.
No the DLCs are not encrypted. It doesn't extract encrypted files
but yeah Arma 3 tools extract game data is bugged. use arma3p
patent flint
arma3p?
quaint jewel
yes.
patent flint
arma3p sucks also, it doesn't extract all extracable PBOs
finite lotus
armaholic com has PBO file manager.
its really nice for updating pre-packaged PBOs
I used it for changing a PBO from the workshop to better suit my needs on a private server I was hosting. It seemed too bland vanilla-wise.

The BI Arsenal will not allow you to load certain loadouts even if that loadout is not greyed out and does not contain any modded items
I am experiencing this issue in the eden editor and zeus when I try to change the loadout of a unit
Any ideas what may be causing this?
quaint jewel
Yeah. Happens when you have "too many" loadouts. Looked into it as deep as I could. Couldn't find the cause
winter badger
Wow did not expect that lol
quaint jewel
Just use ACE Arsenal if you have ACE. They We've fixed all the weird crap from BI arsenal

So I'm hosting a server right. One person was able to join me. The other person instantly disconnects whenever he connects
I used the "Host Server" in the multiplayer menu
Is it possible his ping is an issue?

Make sure he's loading the exact same mods, that's the usual issue
swift mesa
No mods installed
He also says it disconnects server-side whilst he's still loading the map
Now he says he can't connect to any server ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
uncut trellis
@patent flint do you use free version of Mikeros tools?
as it the free version has been released way before most of the DLCs so its not configured for them
patent flint
I was use the free tools, but it's disapointing if you re-extract the files agina and again and again using different tools.
Now i was manually extracting alle files now @uncut trellis
uncut trellis
do you understand that the free tools have more limited functionality than the subsrciber version that is kept up to date? just saying free is free and works but its not as good as the sub version so you shouldnt really complain since its free.
patent flint
to simply create a P: Drive i need to pay Money?
uncut trellis
no
it does that
it just doesnt unpack everything automagically because when that version was released the DLCs did not excist
it unpacks the basic game and if I recall right few of the first DCLs
patent flint
I was only a little bit pissed off because i was extract the P: Drive using BI-Tools 3 times and not all PBOs where extracted, then someone say i should use arma3p instead that will fix it and again PBOs are missing.
So i was using BI-Tools again and using the long way and extracting the missing PBOs (Arma 3 Base) manually
uncut trellis
yeah the bi-tools dont work very well atm
extractPbo can be used to manually extract the missing dlcs
the correct syntax for that has been pasted around at least on #arma3_terrain multiple times

that's not your current modlist.
You said you run MCC. It's not in there.
MCC is opening a loading screen and never closing it.
Happens rarely on first join. And almost everytime if you rejoin or if the server has been running for a while

sorry accidentally deleted the MCC from the lsit
its there I gurantee it along with TFAR

ember phoenix
hey guys.. anyone ran into an issue where Ace bugs out if not called directly from the parameters of the arma3 server exe?
jaunty badger
Explain what you mean by "called directly from the parameters of the server".
Because if you're wondering why, as a client, ACE doesn't work on a server without mods, then I can only tell you that it couldn't.
ember phoenix
before I discovered the ability to have a param.txt file
I would add -mod=@ace in the parameters for the arma3server.exe
jaunty badger
So the -par doesn't recognize the -mod ?
ember phoenix
that worked fine, but when I use -par=param.txt, everything else works but Ace doesn't work properly.
jaunty badger
Maybe typo.
ember phoenix
if you try to bandage something, the bar pops up but never completes

Check the server and client rpts. Or upload them if you don't know what to look for.
