so some of the files are fubar

quaint jewel Jul 2, 2018, 2:45 PM

#

Let's wait for flummi.. :X

sudden cipher Jul 2, 2018, 2:48 PM

#

well you got me this far!

#

thanks mate

#

it's probably a bad disk drive issue, or else that script is running too fast or something silly

#

i'll try and create them locally and upload them to the server to rule that out

#

frickin tedious though. wis hthe BI tools would work

#

running the verification locally, after making the sigs locally i get

#

Signature D:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\@unsung_beta_private\addons\uns_weap_s.pbo.unsung_echo.bisign is wrong === End of stdout === 79 files are in error..

sudden cipher Jul 2, 2018, 3:12 PM

#

#

so cannot create a new key, and 79 bisigns out of 205 fail when building on both server and local pc

quaint jewel Jul 2, 2018, 3:37 PM

most likely the issue I linked.. Armake has a fix for that but not merged it yet

WINDOWS FIX FOR DSUTILS

For "Key not valid for use in specified state" errors removing the folder RSA from C:\Users<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA fixed my issue with DSUtils making working bisigns

#

it now creates all files perfectly, and verifies them all ok

#

Thanks for trying to help me earlier.

Hello! I am trying to host a server with TADST! I have mods, etc. But when you launch, it loads everything fine. When you try to go past lobby, it will kick you back to lobby if any possible error shows up at all. These are errors that, with a Listen server, had no issue. They were just pop up warnings basically like "Error: creating weapon optic_acog with scope=private" which was fine. However, it kicks me - and other players - back to lobby for it.
No matter the error, it kicks you back. Is there a way to bypass the kicking?

mossy ice Jul 3, 2018, 12:25 AM

#

So i can not open the Load tab on the Virtual Arsenal or and other Arsenal

#

I've checked my game thing

#

Any suggestions

mossy ice Jul 3, 2018, 2:10 AM

#

I've reinstalled my game

#

nothing worked

#

I need help

supple crystal Jul 3, 2018, 6:36 AM

#

@tired echo try and load a vanilla mp mission liker apex protocol without any mods, if it works, then you just have to fix all the launch errors in your mission file

tired echo Jul 3, 2018, 6:37 AM

#

Understood -- I'll do my best and report later! Thank you.

supple crystal Jul 3, 2018, 6:41 AM

#

dedi servers dont like errors at all, but if its something that doesnt actualy matter like a generic weapon error make the script or whateve it is run after the mission has started, on something like an addaction

tired echo Jul 3, 2018, 6:41 AM

#

Yeah the biggest error are things that don't matter.

#

Things that ran when I hosted it as a Listen server.

#

Such as scope things.

supple crystal Jul 3, 2018, 6:43 AM

#

are you trying to scope certain optics out of the arsenal?

fading pulsar Jul 3, 2018, 6:43 AM

#

You can check the RPT or paste it here to learn more about the errors

supple crystal Jul 3, 2018, 6:43 AM

#

^

tired echo Jul 3, 2018, 6:44 AM

#

Ah, it's not so much the scope that's the problem. The errors, again, are inconsequential - things that didn't interrupt anything when running as a Listen server.

#

And I have an RPT! Keep in mind .. uh.

#

There's a fair amalgamation of mods, and I'm using a hacked up version of ArmSTALKER, as I'm using it for a bit of an RPG situation.

#

AKA me DMing players throughout an 'open world' campaign.

#

But again, none of this caused problems in Listen servers.

#

No significant errors, thanks to the toil I gave.

fading pulsar Jul 3, 2018, 6:46 AM

#

😂

#

All I can say is good luck and have fun

supple crystal Jul 3, 2018, 6:49 AM

#

haha yea arma 3 dedi server doesnt have the same error handling as the others (from what i can tell), everything must be perfect

tired echo Jul 3, 2018, 6:53 AM

#

The problem is - what about mods often used from Workshop that have their own errors?

#

Or alternatively - can't we bypass the errors causing players to return to lobby?

#

Cause the server runs, it's just .. I get kicked to the server's lobby when trying to play. If it's not one error, it's the next, including the scope one, that, in no way shape or form, should STOP a server from running.

supple crystal Jul 3, 2018, 6:59 AM

everything must be perfect 😉

Sorry for not responding earlier @neat mica but ive been busy and thought i repost my issue as it is still unresolved. Other players cannot hear me in game in all channels. My mic works fine in everything else I use a mic for such as other games, discord and skype. I have been searching the internet to try and find a solution to this problem but none of the common solutions posted on forums work for me. BTW my mic is my default device and Steam successfully picks up my mic. I have tried running steam as administrator. I have updated and uninstalled then reinstalled my drivers as well and my mic still wont work in game chat. Can any help me?

#

Go into Sounds, see if there are any extra microphones that might be being annoying, but that's secondary.

Disable and re-enable your mic.

am i not following something ?

quaint jewel Jul 3, 2018, 8:32 PM

@fringe salmon could also try to switch to a different profile ingame. That will reset all your ingame settings in case anything is wrong in there

fringe salmon Jul 3, 2018, 8:33 PM

quaint jewel Jul 3, 2018, 8:33 PM

If that doesn't chooch. Then Arma 3 Launcher set memory allocator start parameter to system.
If that doesn't work then I'm out of random ideas. I'd just get my profiler out and check what's so slow. But that might be going a little too far for you

@brazen nimbus I've come to associate "steam ticket failure" with "corrputed arma profile", I'd try what Dedmen suggested. If you have no clue what he meant just create a new user for your computer, login as that user and try to reproduce your issue. If you can't your profile needs to be deleted sadly, so you'll lose all configs and saves.

Google port forwarding if you are unsure what he means

quaint jewel Jul 4, 2018, 7:03 AM

He can't be unsure. He 100% said his morning that he port forwarded port 2302.
did you port forward the ports?

Yes Port 2302

fading pulsar Jul 4, 2018, 7:04 AM

#

Considering his reply of, these ports are set in startupline or in a config somewhere? I'm not so sure he did nor is he familiar with forwarding ports

#

Considering even more so, you can define the port, -port=2302 So he may have misunderstood

quaint jewel Jul 4, 2018, 7:06 AM

quaint jewel Jul 4, 2018, 7:18 AM

#

startup line wouldn't hurt

#

config files don't matter unless you deleted everything and copied the whole config from somewhere else. Or for whatever other reason deliberately disabled the serverlist in the config.... I think it's better if you show config too.. Make sure to remove the admin password

Hello. So I am having this weird issue. I load up a new mission, place a unit down, put zeus module down with all addons including unofficial ones. I load up the game, I activate zeus, and everythign is there but then the screen goes black, and then all the addons except for vanilla, RHS and achilles dissapear. I have the latest ACE, CBA. However, I load up an older mission and launch zeus and everything is there!! Any ideas?

I keep getting automatically kicked from a server I regularly play on

but the logs don't mention anything

and the kicking is random

#

I can go for hours at a time, only to suddenly get kicked every 20 minutes or so

mostly the latter unfortunately

even the server owner and moderators have no idea what's going in

Hi guys!

#

I have a question about performance...
I'm having bad FPS while using a Ryzen 1700 with Geforce 1080Ti
There is no bottleneck as under any circumstances the CPU is being used in 100% and even that my GPU never passes 50%.
Running YAAB im getting somethin near 30 FPS with configs set to Ultra.

Is there any way to get a better performance?

quaint jewel Jul 4, 2018, 9:47 PM

#

30 fps already sounds very good

#

Standard for Arma with a non high end intel cpu

rare folio Jul 4, 2018, 9:54 PM

#

ok but why it isn't using all my CPU?

#

in every other games even the "new and heavy" ones I`m getting a pretty high FPS count

uncut trellis Jul 4, 2018, 9:58 PM

#

because Arma is special.

#

are you running mods or just pure vanilla game?

#

all that affects your fps

rare folio Jul 4, 2018, 10:09 PM

#

pure vanilla

fringe salmon Jul 5, 2018, 7:50 AM

#

U need at least a titan v to push 40

fading pulsar Jul 5, 2018, 8:26 AM

#

Nah need an i9-9900k minimum to push 39

neat mica Jul 5, 2018, 9:56 AM

#

@rare folio Newer games are actually at an advantage because they were written from scratch to take advantage of multiple cores. Arma 3, aside from being an old game at this point, was based on an even older engine that cannot take full advantage of multiple threads. Additionally it's an entirely different game, although they tend to avoid calling it a simulator, it is simulating thousands of real world elements - everything from the weather, night and day cycles, seasons, position of the sun, moon and stars in the sky (these are accurate with the time of year and latitude, with a real star map), tides to the actual AI which are true AI which each have their own view of the world, memories etc.

#

As a consequence, it's accepted by pretty much everyone that the acceptable minimum framerate for Arma 3 is 30fps and indeed it's completely playable at that framerate, without a framerate overlay on screen you'd not notice. Arma after all is not a twitch shooter, it's a slower paced game than that.

rare folio Jul 5, 2018, 10:00 AM

#

@fringe salmon i would consider that an answer IF and only IF my 1080ti was being used.... As I told before it's memory and its processors capacity doesn't get more than 50% of use

neat mica Jul 5, 2018, 10:00 AM

#

because it's not a GPU bottleneck, it's a CPU one

rare folio Jul 5, 2018, 10:01 AM

#

Don't think it is a CPU either

neat mica Jul 5, 2018, 10:01 AM

#

framerate is tied to the simulation thread, which is on the CPU

#

there are a couple of things you can turn off in the settings to get a bettter framerate and which most people feel aren't required, ATOC is on

rare folio Jul 5, 2018, 10:03 AM

#

Had run YAAB again yesterday and CPU never got more than 93% of use. I'm talking about the core that was most used as other cores were most not in use

neat mica Jul 5, 2018, 10:04 AM

#

I get an average framerate of ~60+ fps on my 4790K and GTX 1080 @ 1920x1080 ... however it heavily depends on whether it's SP or MP, and if MP which game mode or mod - certain mods like KoTH, Altis Life etc have badly performing scripts which drag down the framerate

rare folio Jul 5, 2018, 10:05 AM

#

Doesnt ATOC depends on GPU?

neat mica Jul 5, 2018, 10:06 AM

#

I actually get around 30fps at 4K in singleplayer ... but at the moment the Linux build is a bit unstable at high resolutions hence why I'm playing at FHD

rare folio Jul 5, 2018, 10:06 AM

#

@neat mica how many frames you get on YAAB?

#

And are your settings in Ultra?

neat mica Jul 5, 2018, 10:08 AM

#

everything is ultra, except ATOC is disabled - I don't like the effect. Can't remember what I get in YAAB and I can't check right now as I'm at work

fringe salmon Jul 5, 2018, 10:13 AM

#

It is CPU bottlenecked - https://www.reddit.com/r/arma/comments/303xr4/understanding_arma_3_performance_problems/

#

Yeah I'm pretty sure arma likes less, more powerful cores than more less powerful ones. Because Ryzen 7 has more cores that are less powerful than intel (not entirely sure on that) it doesn't perform as well. Even though with more cores + threads it should be much faster for processing multiple things at once

Hey @fringe salmon saw your post on reddit.
My only concern is why it is not using 100% of any of my CPU cores?

quaint jewel Jul 5, 2018, 12:09 PM

#

Arma mostly only uses a single core.

rare folio Jul 5, 2018, 12:10 PM

#

Btw is there any startup paramenter you guys use to increase performance? And does chainging the number of prerendered frames affects performance?

quaint jewel Jul 5, 2018, 12:10 PM

#

there are many minor tricks that do something for some people

#

but there is no -moarFPS parameter

#

if there was then BI would enable that by default

#

Okey.. Actually there is a more fps parameter. It's called -noSound but the game isn't really fun without sound

rare folio Jul 5, 2018, 12:11 PM

#

indeed

#

I'll try to make a video with rivatuner showing performance, I'll also disable SMT (AMD HyperThread equivalent) so it'll only have 8 cores to use and maybe we can see that none of my rig is being well used (not used in near 100%)

quaint jewel Jul 5, 2018, 12:14 PM

#

No need to make a video about that

we all know that's the case

rare folio Jul 5, 2018, 12:15 PM

#

I'll do to mayself tho

quaint jewel Jul 5, 2018, 12:15 PM

#

limit Arma to a single CPU core in task manager. And you'll see that it uses 100%

#

or close to 100

#

it always uses a full core.

#

but you can't see that in task manager as windows constantly moves Arma between the different cores

rare folio Jul 5, 2018, 12:16 PM

#

we can see that by @fringe salmon post on reddit...

quaint jewel Jul 5, 2018, 12:17 PM

#

If you want to increase your GPU load. Set everything to ultra and sampling setting to 200%

#

that will make your GPU load go close to max

#

on my 1070 I can reach 95% load with Arma and these settings

rare folio Jul 5, 2018, 12:17 PM

#

and what do you get on sampling at 100%?

quaint jewel Jul 5, 2018, 12:18 PM

10-20% I think

rare folio Jul 5, 2018, 12:19 PM

maybe in arma 4 or any patch updade that uses DX12 and its multitrhead features

quaint jewel Jul 5, 2018, 12:20 PM

#

Arma just can't utilize all your power.

#

There won't be a patch with DX12 or multithreading

#

Arma 4 probably. Just run DayZ Standalone and check how many FPS you get there

DayZ Standalone uses a new or a remodeled engine?

Im having trouble joining a exile server. could anyone help out
They're .pbo errors. They're not loading off of my machine correctly according to the server admin. Im aware that this is the general arma, but ive been struggling to be able to join a server. Normal exile works fine. When the server is modded, i can join for about 10-20 min then i get kicked with a .pbo error. Vanilla works flawlessly. New windows install. Mod and arma files have all been verified multiple times

quaint jewel Jul 6, 2018, 6:42 AM

#

"a .pbo error" Which one of the dozens of completly different errors that might potentially have a ".pbo" inside them?

lavish brook Jul 6, 2018, 7:31 AM

#

hmm i think that was just a pointer to the real cause. let me take some screenshots real quick for ya

#

Here you can see that these two mods are installed and loaded via the official launcher.

https://gyazo.com/84805b902c621d1e7cd6befba26aac02

#

And here you can see those mods plus a few others display as different and/or missing a signature. (the latter two are also installed/loaded through official launcher)

But why did you say They're .pbo errors if you actually don't know what is happening at all?

quaint jewel Jul 6, 2018, 7:41 AM

#

Probably not. Could be

lavish brook Jul 6, 2018, 7:42 AM

#

if not ill have to wait for the owner to log in since he only has access to it. The admin was simply relaying his message. Lots of middlemen here. If that is the case do you know what might have caused thsoe mods to not load

quaint jewel Jul 6, 2018, 7:42 AM

#

If the server is kicking you. Then I guess the server knows why. And will log in it's log why it's kicking you

#

no I don't know.

the main thing is that i can join flat out

troubleshooting for hardware or all types? including scripts and ingame bugs?

#

i've recently started learning how to script in zeus coops and I've run into a problem with addItemCargoGlobal addWeaponCargoGlobal addMagazineCargoGlobal addBackpackCargoGlobal... all contents when loaded sometimes are multiplied,, like I set to add 6 mags in the script, but after a while or immediately after loading the script to players, they are multiplied. so I have players Over encumbered mid game and I don't know a fix except removing all their items and loading the script again

#

oh sorry I mean addItemToVest, Backpack and Uniform

for "_i" from 1 to 6 do {this addItemToVest "rhs_mag_30Rnd_556x45_M855_Stanag";};

eager cedar Jul 8, 2018, 1:04 PM

and then after a while or immediately after 'pasting' the script to players, they multiply, tried it on myself, after 10mins, I have 30mags total in my person

#

yes

#

the init field when I doubleclick on players... I use the MCC init field since vanilla wont work

quaint jewel Jul 8, 2018, 1:05 PM

#

the init field is executed on every player when he joins

#

meaning if 2 players join. The init field is executed 2x.

#

as you are using the Global commands. Everything is added twice globally

#

Easy fix. add a
if !(local this) exitWith{} right at the start of the init field

My unit and I have been trying to add missions to our server. However it always comes up with the blank screen with the Enable AI thing.

All multiplayer settings have been set so it's compatible for people to play on multiplayer (I've done it before) However whenever I view the report, it always comes up with "This mission cannot be played because it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted"

#

It varies differently between missions and it's frustrating me.

#

The addons on the server ARE there.

Hello, coming from #arma3_scenario

https://puu.sh/ATqO0/2dce3a2b9e.png

The link above is a reference to show CPU usage during him full-auto, along with memory. Memory is that high just because of arma, did not spike or lower due to these actions, and I have much more memory than that says
This is a dedicated server hosted at a, well, a host.
This is not a server hardware performance issue, I don't think
What I'm doing is a prolonged test --
The person spooled up still, but the shots still eventually accelerated up to the proper full auto, and things looked normal
I'm thinking that maybe, it only spools up once
So I'm having him wait ten minutes, have the server do nothing for ten minutes
just idling, with parameters/NPCs etc around
and then, in ten minutes, have him full auto at NPCs again .see if the sudden change in packets causes the spool up again
If he does not suddenly desync again, then perhaps I've fixed it to where it only spools up at the beginning

We waited ten minutes in the server, and immediately jumped back into fighting 3 AI, telling my friend to full auto.
The desync came back immediately, and his gun once more spooled up, proving that this doesn't just happen at the beginning of the mission.
I'm at a complete loss.

For reference of the problem, it's exactly like this: https://ytcropper.com/cropped/vI5b4229f2cad40
This is gamebreaking, as it prevents hits being registered on AI until far too late, while the AI still shoots the players fine. The player desync, stutters around in movement and his weapon spools up while firing full auto. This only happens when ACE is running. This is on a hosted dedicated server for Arma, completely configured.

oak stream Jul 9, 2018, 12:31 PM

@tired echo Turn off advanced ballistics when in full auto

#

Alternatively turn down the maximum simulation range

tired echo Jul 9, 2018, 12:32 PM

#

Do you know where I can find max simulation range?

oak stream Jul 9, 2018, 12:33 PM

#

Yeah anywhere you can find your normal ACE3/CBA3 settings.

#

It's just a tab that says advanced ballistics

tired echo Jul 9, 2018, 12:34 PM

#

Just to clarify - I can edit ACE3 settings on a remote dedi server if I log in as admin, yes?

oak stream Jul 9, 2018, 12:34 PM

#

Not sure. Not my area of expertise. Someone else will probably give you an answer though.

tired echo Jul 9, 2018, 12:34 PM

#

Okay. However, I'm pretty sure I remember removing advanced ballistics and this happened.

#

In fact, I had an ACE module that ONLY had ACE_Medical and the same thing happened.

#

But I'll try again.

#

With Advanced Ballistic disabled, and restarting the server.

#

#

Gah. I'll come back another time, I need a break.

Thank you very much all of you for helping me. I really, really, really appreciate it. Hopefully we can fix this.

@tired echo We're here to help. We have plenty of knowledgeable users here, like Dedmen. But in this particular case, maybe ACE3 slack would be a better fit for getting help?

quaint jewel Jul 9, 2018, 1:47 PM

#

Nah. ACE could only cause local lags

#

The problem is probably because ACE generates network traffic. Which makes the Arma bug that's causing this more apparent

tired echo Jul 9, 2018, 4:16 PM

#

@oak stream ACE3 slack?

#

@quaint jewel Are you implying something else might be causing this and ACE is exacerbating it? Because without ACE, there is ZERO lag or network problems at all.

quaint jewel Jul 9, 2018, 4:28 PM

#

yes

#

ACE is not a simple/small mod

#

It generates LOTS of network traffic

tired echo Jul 9, 2018, 4:43 PM

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me with a trigger problem I'm having

#

I'm tearing my hair out

#

I'm trying to have a plane wait until players board before starting up and taking off

#

I've done the trigger, yada yada

#

and it works, but not

#

It takes off when a player gets near, rather than in it

#

And only when you get near the entry door

: hey guys! viper from bro unit. so we seem to have run into an issue with our unit patches showing in server (right arm) will show up when you join other servers but not ours -_- any ideas? sry for my lack of knowledge. any help would be greatly appreciated

fallow remnant Jul 10, 2018, 6:32 AM

#

@acoustic ermine planes will always take off if they have a pilot inside. Make the pilot wait until players are inside.

neat mica Jul 10, 2018, 9:41 AM

#

@wraith quarry no-one gets a solid 60fps in ALL circumstances and Arma doesn't need 60fps. When there's lots of AI, or explosions resulting in lots of destruction (think cluster bomb levelling a town or city), or your using mods or playing third party game modes with poorly written scripts these will all drag down the FPS. Arma isn't like other games, for one it's far more complex and it also uses an older engine, parts of which predate multi-core processors.

#

Note that badly optimised scripts running in modded game modes (KoTH, Wasteland, Life etc) are one of the biggest causes of complaints about low FPS, but by no means the only cause. The problem is that people don't realise those game modes aren't official and are mods, so they blame Arma.

@quaint jewel @fading pulsar Sorry if tagging you is bad -- just letting you know it did not resolve any issues.

#

I simply do not understand. How is it that this will still happen even when it's only ACE?

fading pulsar Jul 11, 2018, 6:20 AM

#

Can only assume too much load or network load on the server possibly due to the machine

placid token Jul 11, 2018, 6:22 AM

#

It happened in SP too, didn't it?

tired echo Jul 11, 2018, 6:33 AM

#

singleplayer? No, this is a full auto bug with multiplayer

#

and @fading pulsar -- CPU never goes past 10% load, memory is unlocked max, far as I know so far

tired echo Jul 11, 2018, 7:05 AM

#

Tested a basic Altis mission with ACE and CBA only. 50+ NPCs on map.

#

Full auto worked fine.

#

Added 10 mods, like 3den Enhanced, Advanced Rappelling (and the other 4), Achilles, and such

#

Full auto desync

quaint jewel Jul 11, 2018, 7:06 AM

#

What if you run all these mods. But no ACE?

tired echo Jul 11, 2018, 7:09 AM

#

We have, like, 70 mods without ACE. Without it, the game still works perfectly

#

No desync, no problem, nothing

#

It's perfectly fine

#

the moment you add ACE, everything is ruined.

#

Or ACE with any amount of mods

#

I feel like I'm missing something

#

Advanced Ballistics is even completely off

#

And it still happens

#

We have literally 14 mods on right now and it still desync. None of the mods are big

#

@3den_Enhanced;@ACE;@ACE_AniAct;@Achilles;@Advanced Weapon Mounting;@AdvancedSlingLoading;@AdvancedTowing;@AdvancedUrbanRappelling;@Advanced_Rappelling;@Apalon Vehicle;@ArmSTALKER Music;ASCZ_Heads;@Avenger's S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Patches;Chemical Warfare

#

What mods we used for this test. As well, we got this info, I dont' know if it matters, but still:

count cba_common_waitAndExecArray = 2
count cba_common_waitUntilAndExecArray = 0
count cba_common_perFrameHandlerArray = 9 (max 9)
count diag_activeSQFScripts = 13
count diag_activeSQSScripts = 0
count diag_activeMissionFSMs = 1```

#

We did a test with only 9 mods: https://puu.sh/AUsQg/42b592eae6.png

#

There was still full desync

#

(for reference, armstalker music is literally just music but we're testing around anyway)

tired echo Jul 11, 2018, 7:43 AM

#

We just disabled ALL simulation modules on ACE in the options - still the problem persisted.

tired echo Jul 11, 2018, 8:14 AM

#

The problem has been resolved from what I can tell.

#

A mod called Chemical Warfare was causing this desync.

quaint jewel Jul 11, 2018, 8:16 AM

#

Sooo.. not ACE?

tired echo Jul 11, 2018, 8:16 AM

#

We boiled it down to literally 5 mods.

#

ACE, CBA, A heads pack, a patches pack, and chemical warfare.

#

It STILL had the desync.

#

The moment we removed chemical warfare, it worked fine. So we went all out, enabled ALL mods except Chemical Warfare.

#

No desync.

#

We're now enabling all modules - advanced ballistics, etc etc.

#

See if it still works.

#

YES.;

#

It all works.

#

I don't get it. I don't understand why, but so far everything's fixed. We're testing on our main mission now.

quaint jewel Jul 11, 2018, 8:28 AM

#

Please also contact the chemical warfare dev about it. Maybe he knows why

tired echo Jul 11, 2018, 8:34 AM

#

Absolutely will. I'm not just going to leave this in the dust just because only I fixed it.

#

And I greatly appreciate all the help for everything, by the way. So far, the test is going exemplary.

#

If there's anything I can do to pay you back, please tell me.

Just as note as a final follow-up to my big problem:

Everything works flawlessly. For those who use Chemical Warfare ( https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1095745477 ), I suppose the biggest sign of me not aware of problem was that it hasn't been updated since Aug 2017, but utilized ACE and CBA. Didn't even notice it. I tried posting a comment on it but it won't let me, so I may have to message the dev himself.

Mod works fine, just not with ACE. Thanks again everyone.

signal harbor Jul 11, 2018, 9:49 AM

#

guys my serversname does not change its a strange name like :https://www.gametracker.com/server_info/145.239.149.56:2302/

#

wat did i do wrong?

tired echo Jul 11, 2018, 9:50 AM

#

You should edit your server.cfg to set a new name

#

For example

#

hostname =     "Server Name";    // The name of the server that shall be displayed in the public server list
password =     "";                // Password for joining, eg connecting to the server
passwordAdmin = "BlahBlah999";        // Password to become server admin. When you're in Arma MP and connected to the server, type '#login xyz'.```

#

Hope that works! I sleep now. Bye! ❤

signal harbor Jul 11, 2018, 9:52 AM

#

thats the CONFIG_server.cfg file in A3Master dir right ?

quaint jewel Jul 11, 2018, 10:01 AM

#

that's whatever config file you configured your server to use

signal harbor Jul 11, 2018, 10:03 AM

#

its configured, yet the server shows other name

#

my startup line is

#

C:\servers\ArmA3\A3Master\arma3server_x64.exe "-profiles=C:\servers\ArmA3\A3Master" -port=2302 -queryport=23009 -config=CONFIG_server.cfg -world=empty

#

or should i add the directory for config?

quaint jewel Jul 11, 2018, 10:05 AM

#

Yeah that's the file in the A3Master dir then.
the -queryport parameter doesn't exist.
You should really move this to #server_windows

You have to click on each mod in that page and download them in steam workshop. then you should be able to play without getting kicked.

start arma from steam, when the arma launcher pops up, click on servers and then on internet.
In search servers type in AWG DAYZ-EXILE, click on the server name and more details. a list of mods will show up, it will tell you if you have the mods installed and if not it will give you a link to it when you click on choose action.
You also need to add @exile to the arma launcher mod section.

Hi guys, getting an issue that has only started recently where I get severe frame drops very frequently to the point where it is unplayable, whenever I experience a frame drop my gpu usage lowers and then returns to Normal. So far I have done a reinstall and tried both vanilla and modded with no change, I also have reinstalled drivers with no good results. I have been playing for years and have never encountered anything like this.

It's the default gateway

that's not your pcs internal ip though

That's just the default network one.

But if you log in to your router via that default gateway you can look around in your settings and it might list your actual internal ip

I have set Identity in all NPCs with their own names, but when you play the game, all their names are random Greek names for Independent. This is the same case with other factions, just .. their respective name styles.

#

I believe this may have something to do with ACE?

Are there any community patches that fix AI behavior? Specifically with bridges?

uncut trellis Jul 15, 2018, 12:21 AM

#

Bridges are though for the AI and if a map is made poorly theres nothing to be done

#

a bridge needs to be aligned right with the road to be part of the road network

#

so question is, what map you have problems with

#

and what kind

gleaming bloom Jul 15, 2018, 12:21 AM

#

Tanoa is poorly done?

uncut trellis Jul 15, 2018, 12:21 AM

#

usually it is a custom map issue

gleaming bloom Jul 15, 2018, 12:22 AM

#

I'm playing a BECTI mission on tanoa, and none of the AI can cross bridges

uncut trellis Jul 15, 2018, 12:22 AM

#

but whats your specific problem

#

any bridges?

#

could you test the bridges with some simple custom scenario?

#

like place down few commandable units and order them across

gleaming bloom Jul 15, 2018, 12:23 AM

#

I would share a screenshot but that's disabled here

uncut trellis Jul 15, 2018, 12:23 AM

#

yeah only veterans can do that

#

but you can upload to imgur for example

#

it is possible there are buggy bridges on tanoa too

fringe salmon Jul 15, 2018, 12:50 AM

#

so tfar doesnt work... it just says "waiting for unique server"

#

any idea on how to fix?

quaint jewel Jul 15, 2018, 12:59 AM

waiting for unique server No it doesn't say that

#

@gleaming bloom @uncut trellis Tanoa bridges cause weird AI behaviour too, especially infantry. Vehicles manage to make it across as long as they don't take too much contact.

@fringe salmon In case you weren't aware, Dedmen is the current developer of TFAR.

fringe salmon Jul 15, 2018, 5:16 PM

@desert isle I’m aware, yes.

#

@quaint jewel hmm

#

Is there a list of compatible mods?

#

Because the mod is on the server

quaint jewel Jul 15, 2018, 5:20 PM

#

No there is not a list of the thousands of mods that might be compatible

fringe salmon Jul 15, 2018, 5:35 PM

#

do u know of any popular mods that are not compatible?

quaint jewel Jul 15, 2018, 5:36 PM

Exile for example has been breaking it in the past

fringe salmon Jul 15, 2018, 5:37 PM

Hmm it’s not that. See the thing is, it works fine, until I load a kit up

Then it says “waiting for unique radio”

but when I try to choose a radio in the arsenal, it doesnt let me.

i choose it, then I don’t see it in my inventory

fringe salmon Jul 15, 2018, 6:49 PM

#

so im trying to open up a mission, and it says im missing tfar core, but i have tfar enabled on the launcher

#

and i binarized the file, so im out of ideas at this point

quaint jewel Jul 15, 2018, 6:52 PM

#

tfar core is TFAR 1.0

#

if you have TFAR 0.9 enabled that won't work

fringe salmon Jul 15, 2018, 6:53 PM

#

im using the steam workshop thingy

#

is that not updated to tfar 1.0?

quaint jewel Jul 15, 2018, 6:53 PM

#

The 0.9 TFAR on workshop is not TFAR 1.0 no

#

The TFAR beta on workshop is the beta

fringe salmon Jul 15, 2018, 6:53 PM

so what do i do?

quaint jewel Jul 15, 2018, 6:54 PM

get the correct one

okay, but i used the steamworkshop tfar in this mission tho

The server itself might be out of date - either unintentionally or on purpose.

drifting citrus Jul 16, 2018, 10:54 AM

Ah sorry

uncut trellis Jul 16, 2018, 10:55 AM

didnt exile need to be downloaded from their website

#

Also experts on the matter at Exiles own discord

fading pulsar Jul 16, 2018, 10:55 AM

#

A3launcher can be used, @drifting citrus Try verifying the mod

drifting citrus Jul 16, 2018, 10:56 AM

#

how do i do that?

fading pulsar Jul 16, 2018, 10:56 AM

#

By going to the mods tab and verifying

drifting citrus Jul 16, 2018, 10:58 AM

#

nothing happened

#

still wont load and says it may need to be validated

neat mica Jul 16, 2018, 11:03 AM

#

as Teizan said, it may be the server which is running an older version, or a beta version which isn't yet available through normal channels

#

have you tried joining other exile servers?

drifting citrus Jul 16, 2018, 11:08 AM

#

yeah still no luck

fading pulsar Jul 16, 2018, 11:10 AM

Then delete and redownload the mod

@neat mica Chances they're running an older version is very slim and there's no beta version yet™ 😉

Are you running MCC? The Mod?

This is what he is getting

#

He can even hear the sound sometimes be he doesn not load in

quaint jewel Jul 16, 2018, 12:05 PM

#

Some PostInit script is not finishing. The mission or any other mod you might be running has a PostInit script in CfgFunctions that's not getting done

native iris Jul 16, 2018, 12:06 PM

#

And how do I fix this ?

quaint jewel Jul 16, 2018, 12:07 PM

#

If you didn't make the mission nor the mods you are running then you can't

#

My guess is it's the mission. Tell the mission author

native iris Jul 16, 2018, 12:07 PM

#

But the thing is he did join in once but because of the spawn location he spawned all the way in the sea

#

So it does not happen always

#

It is a mission created by Navarre

#

Clandestine Sunrise

quaint jewel Jul 16, 2018, 12:08 PM

#

Sounds exactly like MCC 😄
And yeah that bug doesn't have to always happen.

native iris Jul 16, 2018, 12:08 PM

#

I do not have mcc tho

fringe salmon Jul 16, 2018, 1:00 PM

#

And MCC doesn't do that either, haven't seen that problem at all. What I have seen is the black screen issue caused by the mod line being too long, if you have a lot of mods then putting the mods near the top of the drive might get rid of the black screen on join.

hello, im having touble starting arma; already disabled all MODs, no Startup parameters, even turned off the overlay just the launcher starts normal. veryfied the files too, but everything seems fine until i click play in the launcher it beginns to load screen flashes as the the game tries to start... exit to desktop. no arma running in taskmanager no errorreport file. just confusion Oo
any idea what could cause that?

i havent tried turning it off an on again ^^

starting arma directly works ; must be smoething launcher related 😐

fallow remnant Jul 17, 2018, 11:39 AM

#

Could be profile related then 🤔

craggy pawn Jul 17, 2018, 11:43 AM

#

as i said the game starts when i use the arma3_x64.exe directly

craggy pawn Jul 17, 2018, 12:15 PM

#

lol AVG needed a restart after an update ... i said fuck it ( i restart when im ready) well, oc i forgot to restart 🤦🏻

that fixed it

Post your questions to #server_admins and someone will pipe up with suggestions.

This is more of a techinical issue of me sucking at port-forwarding and friends not being able to connect, still post there?

The main thing is to just describe your problem, instead of waiting to get someone's attention.

Fair enough, sorry if I'm falling into some stereotypes

chrome current Jul 17, 2018, 8:05 PM

No worries.

crimson relic Jul 17, 2018, 8:07 PM

#

The first issues I'm having is when loading the Antistasi mission file from the server I'm running, when presented with the map and mission briefing screen I cannot hit the continue button or see the mission brief

#

The second issue is if I'm hosting a regular empty map, other people trying to join get a BattleEye inilization failed error

#

I'm inexperienced in server hosting, so that's why I tried to keep my question vague as to avoid saying something that wasn't technically correct

chrome current Jul 17, 2018, 8:10 PM

#

Are you able to load up other (vanilla) missions and get through the map screen?

crimson relic Jul 17, 2018, 8:10 PM

#

Yep

#

Let me get some screenshots for reference

#

I just got someone else to host, so i guess thats a solution

#

Thanks for being willing to help though

#

I'll keep working on this on the side

copper obsidian Jul 17, 2018, 10:00 PM

Anyone, I am desperate. I am running altis life but modded on another map
it was working 2 days ago, had to mess with mods and signatures tho as I put back verifySignature on and it caused issues
Now that is fixed but it wont let us load in, we see the map picture after downloading the mission and we hear sound but no RPT logs or anything to help us out so if anyone is available to help us fix that, I am willing to donate some cash for your time.

#

All we see in rpt is
Wrong init state
or
Unaccessible

nothink out of the ordinary to see in the logs besides the usual "arma 3 life copy paste bullshit modpack fuckup that melts your sever" shit...

never use modpacks

like... NEVER

fringe salmon Jul 18, 2018, 1:31 AM

It happens whenever I log out of steam @copper obsidian

copper obsidian Jul 18, 2018, 1:59 AM

Weird

wise barn Jul 18, 2018, 2:00 AM

#

that's what such "modpacks" usually are...

copper obsidian Jul 18, 2018, 2:00 AM

#

And @wise barn never had issues with modpacks, this started after reisigning some addons (and repacking)

wise barn Jul 18, 2018, 2:00 AM

#

and that's the catch... don't do that

copper obsidian Jul 18, 2018, 2:00 AM

#

Especially this one as its the one we used on our life server for a while

wise barn Jul 18, 2018, 2:01 AM

#

never repack and sign mods

copper obsidian Jul 18, 2018, 2:01 AM

#

Yeah figured its one of those addons that dont work! But cant use em if they arent signed

wise barn Jul 18, 2018, 2:01 AM

#

use original mods?

copper obsidian Jul 18, 2018, 2:01 AM

#

They are original

wise barn Jul 18, 2018, 2:01 AM

#

hahahaha

copper obsidian Jul 18, 2018, 2:01 AM

#

They just werent signed

wise barn Jul 18, 2018, 2:01 AM

#

nope

copper obsidian Jul 18, 2018, 2:01 AM

#

The custom_items one which caused issues is mine... your point?

#

2 others werent signed so i asked the maker about it ence why we had to fix that for signaturesCheck

wise barn Jul 18, 2018, 2:02 AM

#

ok, hold on a sec... i'm gonna explain smth to you

#

wait a minute

#

your "modpack" contains:

CBA (original and up-to-date avaliable on WS)
HLC (original and up-to-date avaliable on WS as NiArms)
MBG Killhouses
and many other stuff

DON'T do that.. if you upload this somewhere you face multiple DMCA strikes

#

no matter if WS, GDrive, Dropbox... just dont...

copper obsidian Jul 18, 2018, 2:06 AM

#

I asked the makers beforehand, they are free to use from what they told me?

wise barn Jul 18, 2018, 2:06 AM

#

no fucking way you did that

copper obsidian Jul 18, 2018, 2:06 AM

#

The rest of the mods we will be using are custom made by Ear

#

Which are not in yet

#

Believe what you want, this is not the channel for that discussion. Just trying to solve my issue here

#

Given what you are saying too, you can go ahead and dmca about 80% life servers too

wise barn Jul 18, 2018, 2:08 AM

#

this is a copy paste modpack, one of that kind i took down hundrets of times. don't pack shit together where you have no permission. i know for a fact you don't have permission for MBG and HLC. just create a pure blank life pack, and add the other stuff as dependencies in a WS collection

#

and about the DMCAs, i do that

#

a lot more than modding by now

copper obsidian Jul 18, 2018, 2:08 AM

#

Good for you then

wise barn Jul 18, 2018, 2:08 AM

#

i filed way over 300 this year alone

#

#

so you can run a smooth server

copper obsidian Jul 18, 2018, 2:09 AM

#

No, you frankly come off as very hostile and cocky instead of trying to help.

wise barn Jul 18, 2018, 2:09 AM

#

without constant complains from mod autors

copper obsidian Jul 18, 2018, 2:09 AM

#

I will however with no problem recontact em and ask again if that makes you feel better

#

If they dont want me using it I have no problem changing em for something else ya feel

#

Just trynna make a small life server on Pianosa right :p

wise barn Jul 18, 2018, 2:11 AM

#

and i get that... and i'm more happy then anything else if you can run a server that a) runs smooth, and b) is not going to be taken down for license violations.
MBG is @gritty zinc
and HLC is @urban flint
btw

#

so you can ask them directly

#

but don't get your hopes too high

copper obsidian Jul 18, 2018, 2:12 AM

#

Will do, spoke to people on armaholic about it (where I dl them from) so glad to see some makers here

#

If they end up not wanting, any suggestions where to get a decent m4 pack?

#

We want to keep the pianosa server mininalistic gun wise

wise barn Jul 18, 2018, 2:13 AM

#

ALL of them are here, and if you read a little in #ip_rights_violations you can imagine what happens to smb who doens't play by the rules

copper obsidian Jul 18, 2018, 2:13 AM

#

Nah I get that

wise barn Jul 18, 2018, 2:14 AM

#

well, the only "lightweight" source for M4s is HLC / Niarms iirc

copper obsidian Jul 18, 2018, 2:14 AM

#

DMCAed some servers that stole our files last year

#

But it was on exile

#

Ah rip

#

Then

wise barn Jul 18, 2018, 2:15 AM

#

although that you want to keep your server "small" in data, keep in mind that many players aready have the original mods in full size on their HDDs

copper obsidian Jul 18, 2018, 2:15 AM

#

We have a launcher to keep the whole thing up to date

#

Yeah

wise barn Jul 18, 2018, 2:16 AM

#

that's another thing... relay on workshop mods. those are the ones who are 100% up-to-date

copper obsidian Jul 18, 2018, 2:16 AM

#

The workshop content updates to the mod directory of the launcher

wise barn Jul 18, 2018, 2:17 AM

#

and if they are on the page from the original autors you are more than good with them

copper obsidian Jul 18, 2018, 2:17 AM

#

The launcher just checks the files and lets u autojoin

wise barn Jul 18, 2018, 2:17 AM

#

ah, got it

copper obsidian Jul 18, 2018, 2:17 AM

#

Yeah :p

wise barn Jul 18, 2018, 2:17 AM

#

well, that's a start

#

😄

#

but for real, don't repack mods

copper obsidian Jul 18, 2018, 2:17 AM

#

Just gotta figure out which one of mines is acting up

wise barn Jul 18, 2018, 2:18 AM

#

unless it'S your own stuff

copper obsidian Jul 18, 2018, 2:18 AM

#

Yeah ill let the modder know about that (hes the one making the modpack and all that so)

#

Im more on the scripting/coding side :p

#

The custom_items is the only one I made so far and its just a security card item LOL

#

Thanks for the pointers tho appreciate it

#

Better know that before it goes live

wise barn Jul 18, 2018, 2:20 AM

#

good, and stay away from any mod that is made by KICKASS (CSW, KA). he uses ripped models from other games. he might face a law case some time...

copper obsidian Jul 18, 2018, 2:20 AM

#

Oh shit

#

Good to know xD

#

Ill use another one

wise barn Jul 18, 2018, 2:23 AM

#

and again, look inside your "modpack" and check the mod prefixes for their original autors. remove all you can find on the workshop (original uploads only) and create a workshop collection. this is the only way you guys get into this safely

copper obsidian Jul 18, 2018, 2:25 AM

#

I see so have our modpack using the launcher, then a collection on steam

I dont know how that all works ill talk about it with the owner and the modder

wise barn Jul 18, 2018, 2:25 AM

#

👍

#

ok, i'm back on planning my caravan trip through sweden. hit me up once you're good with the mod and still got questions

quaint jewel Jul 18, 2018, 6:56 AM

#

@copper obsidian Given what you are saying too, you can go ahead and dmca about 80% life servers too already working on it.
@wise barn I already told him a couple days ago what his issue is. A CfgFunction PostInit script is not finishing. There is no magic quick fix or easy way to just look into the RPT to fix that.

gritty zinc Jul 18, 2018, 7:10 AM

#

As an extra side info: Creating new BISigns for .pbo files is not a problem. By creating your own signature files you do not alter the original mod maker's content. So its all fine to create new bisigns.

quaint jewel Jul 18, 2018, 7:11 AM

#

^ Yeah I don't know where that one came from. You can add files to things all your want. Just not modify (or copy depending on license) existing things

copper obsidian Jul 18, 2018, 10:11 AM

#

That is also very good to know, thanks

#

Caused issues with mod signatures not being there and all

wise barn Jul 18, 2018, 11:04 AM

#

If that's the case i'm sorry. I didn't know that resigning is ok...

That error you just sent is a mod intentionally killing the game because it feels like it

#

You should probably get rid of that mod

Hey guys, I'm trying to set up Antistasi on my group's server. However, it doesn't recognize RHS or ACE. I've got all the mods enabled in the command line, and I just can't figure this out. Any idea how to fix this?

Have you checked the server's RPT to see if all of the mod PBOs are being loaded?
