That's your cause of errors... win10
I know of No solution for USB headsets other than moving back to one with jacks, or use win8.1

copper flower
#

tried:
Running as Administrator,
Running in Windows 7 and 8 compatibility mode,
and both of the above

#

as I've said it also doesn't seem to work with my HDMI

wise barn
#

The last big win update fucked stuff hard

analog willow
#

@rich yoke they do show up but on the origin part it’s listed as “not found” but I’ve heard that’s not an issue.

wise barn
#

Was it this so called creators update? Can't recall. One of the many reasons i'm still in 8.1

copper flower
#

after switching to HDMI, the little mini-window turns black then white and crashes

#

I prefer 7 myself, but my pc won't allow me to install it

#

perhaps it has something to do with it being LTSB

#

I'll try professional but it's going to suck debloating it

#

it's Arma 3 v1.68

#

I think I'm just gonna refund the game

#

It's not working and I feel kind of ripped off, but I know it's not really the Arma dev's fault

#

It's M$ fault for making this fucktarded OS that broke half my steam library

wise barn
#

@copper flower
you have what version of arma?!?

copper flower
#

1.68, also I kinda forgot you have to refund within 2 weeks

#

I should probably update

#

bbl

rain wave
#

1.68 is not latest stable. 1.82 is

wise barn
#

the only reason to still use 1.68 is because it's a pirated version. and the 1.68 is the one floating around. so update asap

copper flower
#

I haven't touch arma 3 in a while

#

that's why it wasn't updated

#

and I have steam updates disabled

#

easily the hardest game I've played in a while though

@fringe salmon some mod is trying to load a file that doesn't exist. Looking at the error. I'd say it's a mod made by a brainless retard. Or done on purpose to crash you.

Anyone know a good server host ?

So, I made a simple zues mission with one unit and game master module, All addons (inc. unofficial) set in parameters. I have Ace and achilles loaded, but i'm missing several ace categories from the zues interface.

#

I break open a more complicated mission like antistasi and throw in a zues there, and all the categories load.

what tdoes the server log say

fringe salmon
#

i dont know how to check it

#

@quaint jewel i sent it

quaint jewel
#

Warning Message: Addon 'rhs_2s3' requires addon 'rhs_c_2s3' Look if your rhs_c_2s3 pbo is there

fringe salmon
#

yea its in the folder in the servers files

#

its in the rhsafrf folder and then addons

fringe salmon
#

@quaint jewel it came back with a massive error it seems its not detecting that i have the addons

quaint jewel
#

rhs_main.pbo - unknown delete it and reupload it completly. something probably went wrong with the upload

fringe salmon
#

where do i download the files from btw i just took them from my game but i dont think thats a good idea

quaint jewel
#

Steam workshop

#

you subscribe to it and then you got them locally

#

Steam workshop downloads might also be corrupted though

fringe salmon
#

i think i figured it out

#

in my file browser for the server

#

all the pbos are showing 0 bytes but they shouldnt be

The vest i made is not appearing in game its just blank like the armor and that appear but no vest

quaint jewel
#

check your RPT for errors

cerulean zenith
#

No errors on my RPT that i could find

uncut trellis
#

wrong paths, packed wrong, bad model, not running right addon. Could be a lot of things

#

no model.cfg, no right config

cerulean zenith
#

Checked the paths and I packed it correect with addon builder under arma tools

#

Config.cpp is there

uncut trellis
#

addon builder lets through just about anything without complaints

#

so it still could be anything

cerulean zenith
#

I couldnt see anytrhing bad in my RPT

uncut trellis
#

also rpt also does not show everything.

wise barn
#

@cerulean zenith
use pboProject to pack your addon

cerulean zenith
#

ok

wise barn
#

and if pboProject throws any sort of errors at you, take them seriously. read the logs, fix the errors, and your addon has a significant higher chance to work ingame than with the BI tools

cerulean zenith

ok i will download it now

something about R3F, although i've no clue what that is

There are many people here who know ace stuff

its about the adv. medical setting, is it normal that in the medical menu it doesnt say which type of wound it is + nobody appears to be bleeding

nope that's not normal and has nothing to do with the adv medical setting

you always see wound types

fast tide

figured , i also dont have the ace 3 options in the esc menu so guess something went wrong

There shouldn't be ace options in esc menu anyway

they are in the CBA settings/Addon options

hello everyone, i've got he problem that our server is crashing constantly

#

before it crashes rpt gets spammed with network errors

#

first one of the headless client drops out

#

after that the main server instance crashes

wise barn
#

What server?

humble pike
#

windows but i think this doesnt matter

quaint jewel
humble pike
#

yeah i also had the crashes a few days before, without performance binaries, then i switched to a performance binary

#

maybe i should collect some data with the profiling one?

quaint jewel
#

profiling won't help you with crashes

fallow remnant
#

dunno if running without mods would make a diff

humble pike
#

as i said just to collect more data..

quaint jewel
#

whether you run perf or prof doesn't make a difference. Dwarden will take both crashdumps and give them high priority to be fixed
Prof doesn't give you nor BI more useful data about the crash.

humble pike
#

fringe salmon
#

How do you make ace easier we get one shot consistently

quaint jewel
#

You just don't continue walking as if nothing happened after getting shot ^^

#

I don't know of a setting to make it "easier".
There are only settings to make it easier to heal you after you get shot down

fallow remnant
#

or remove ace medical?

fringe salmon
#

There are various levers you can pull on to make the game easier depending on how you want to balance it. You can use a mod to adjust the AI subskills (like CF_BAI, ASR_AI, VCOM) and reduce their accuracy and speeds for shooting, reduce their spread or their will to fight. You can also increase the quality of the armour you wear to type 4 so you have a better chance of surviving an impact. Plate carriers instead of vests does wonders to your own survival. Then there is changing your play style and taking cover and using suppressive fire to move and shoot and all the other military tactics (smoke) and such so you can advance and avoid getting shot until you have good cover.

#

I guess we will just have to get better and take it alot slower

#

Thanks

quaint jewel
#

If you play a more realistic game. You also need to use more realistic tactics.
Not that I'm any good at these tactics 😄 I also just run in and press my instant revive hotkey when i go down 😄

fringe salmon
#

Sounds cheaty but sure if your having fun who cares

#

Yea ill tell my friends we need to git gud

quaint jewel
#

As long as the other players don't know about it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

fringe salmon
#

Its ai

#

Antistasi

#

Anyway thx for the tips i gtg

#

Antistasi has its own AI system but its compatible with vcom so you can certain modify the AI using that to reduce their skill a bit. Coming from our game we find the antistasi AI is too easy but then we play on high settings with 1-1.5 AI to 1 player most weekends so going from that to a game where we are vastly outnumbered with worse AI in tanks and APCs is different to say the least.

#

Modify it with VCOM AI and get it to the point where you can survive by reducing their accuracy a bit and slowly build up the team combat skills.

fallow remnant
#

is VCOM support with antistasi new?

#

the official tutorial video i saw explicitly stated that AI mods aren't compatible, but a forum post on the antistasi forum from feb 2018 suggested that compatibility was coming soon

why.

rustic tusk

just ignore it, it's a large server and this guy should know that with such a large server that won't ping anyon

he's still trying to ping everyone kek

#

we're not, and we don't care

you're spamming a random tiny discord server that's completely off topic in a arma server

doing this will just get people annoyed

@rustic tusk dont talk to him, just ignore it

yes, just dont respond. creeps like that feed on any attention

Seems he just left the discord, but hasn't been banned

stray current
#

can u whitelist me from the infistar server or no

#

or just join his server and spam arma 3 invites

#

jk

#

Is there anyway to contact infistar other than their discord

#

or their website

uncut trellis
#

they probably got an email address

#

you are not likely to get a fast solution though so you got to be patient

stray current
#

@stone plover do you have their email?

quaint jewel
#

@stray current why don't you just like... Talk to @scarlet orchid ?

stray current
#

Ive tried

quaint jewel
#

Well if THE infistar guy doesn't want you to be unbanned then you are out of luck

stray current
#

the only way I can contact him is thru pm

#

and I doubt he will check my pm

quaint jewel
#

When did you do that?

#

He's German. It's 9AM now. He's probably sleeping.

around 4pm est

so thats prob why

No, it's more like 3 AM EST.

what?

If you're referring to your local timezone. It is not 4 PM EST right now.

stray current

I texted him at 4pm pst*

#

not est

There is an 8 hour difference, PT being 8 hours behind. It was midnight when you pm'd him

There is a chance he could be waking soon. It's nearly 8 AM. /shrug

Anyone know why my private server is not responding whenever a friend tries to join? I have port forwarded and tried every server option and I get nothing

#

this is on Arma 3 btw

quaint jewel

@median topaz if you want to get started look at Arma 3 Samples. But you can't just take someone elses stuff.

#

@hidden swallow what does not responding mean?

hidden swallow
#

@Dedmen when I have the server set up I invite my friend through steam and when he clicks join it says

#

"the server is not responding"

desert isle
#

Removed

quaint jewel
#

it says that in steam dialog yes

#

what happens ingame?

#

can he join there? Via the friends servers list?

hidden swallow
#

no my server does not pop up in the friends tab and whenever he tries to direct connect it just takes him back to the LAN tab of servers

quaint jewel
#

can he direct connect to the IP he sees when he opens that steam server dialog thingy?
What ports did you forward?

hidden swallow
#

He tried direct connecting to the Ip but it just takes him back to the LAN tab of servers and I port forwarded ports 2302-2305

quaint jewel
#

UDP port forward? Not TCP?

hidden swallow
#

both

quaint jewel
#

could theoretically be that your internet provider blocks them on his end. I heard that mainly from American providers.

hidden swallow
#

What do you mean blocks them?

quaint jewel
#

Their firewall doesn't let them through

hidden swallow
#

Anyway I can change that?

quaint jewel
#

Some do that to block stuff like Torrent

#

You'd probably have to call them. But first google for your provider and something like "UDP ports blocked" to verify if that might be the case.
Maybe your windows firewall is blocking too or you did some mistake with the forward

hidden swallow
#

ok 1 second

#

My ISP blocks some ports but not the 2302-2305 ports @quaint jewel

I am having some problems with a custom mission. This used to work but now any clients cannot join the game. It works fine for whoever hosts the game, but for everyone else they cannot choose a respawn point and start playing. The log file says there are multiple errors in A3\functions_f\respawn\fn_showRespawnMenuInventoryDetails.sqf and A3\functions_f\respawn\fn_showRespawnMenuHeader.sqf. Anyone had anything similar, or had any idea what this could be about? No errors messages in the server log files, only the client.

random quail

is anyone else's title menu backwards-TABing through all the controls? it started happening since the new Steam chat update today

rustic tusk
#

It's a pretty common glitch actually, if you switch menu's or tab out it should fix it

meager crypt
#

I recently added into my server a mission that was tested on another server, I log into the admin and it says that I have successfully logged in, I do #missions and it freezes, I can move around if I loaded in but if I'm in the slot selection screen, it doesn't allow me to slot in. I need to restart the server in order to be able to log into admin again / slot in. I've been googleing this issue but nothing relevant has been found except from 2016 which was that the server crashed completely due to #missions being used, but this doesn't relate to that at all since it's still operational. RPT doesn't show anything except for me logging into admin and that's it, then it says that server was restarted. I've tried pulling off mods, but mods shouldn't be an issue since it is working with the exact same mod set in another server. The only thing I haven't tried is reinstalling the server from scratch, but I thought I'd try here first. Any ideas?

random quail
#

@rustic tusk doesn't seem to help :/ any other menu also tabs through everything - even a few game and PC restarts didn't help

#

BUT, I just unplugged my keyboard - it kept tabbing

rustic tusk
#

odd, that's how i've always fixed it

random quail
#

and then when I plugged it back in, the tabbing stopped

#

SO, no idea why that fixed it, but I'l take it

rustic tusk
#

because it's thinking you "pressed" tab again

#

stopping it

random quail
#

it doesn't really make much sense - unless the game starts thinking the key is held down when it isn't

rustic tusk
#

^

#

did it happen to occur during a lag spike, ping spike or alt tabbing

random quail
#

none of them, I just start up the game client and it happens - gonna restart and see if it happens again

rustic tusk
#

odd, i've experienced this plenty of times, but not like that 🤔

random quail
#

okay it seems to be stable now, what a weird bug

#

maybe it was some weird tabbing-in thing I did that started the whole thing off - the crazy part is it staying broken over multiple game and PC restarts

meager crypt
#

Anyone got any ideas to my dilemma I posted above?

analog willow
#

If there is anyone here with experience in ALiVE I could really use some help: I'm creating a campaign and I want to use REDFOR from RHS GREF, however when I go to the civ. obj. spawns they have been placed they kill each other... any ideas as to what could cause this?

fallow remnant
#

Sounds like they're being grouped with opposite sides

#

Or are being spawned as opposite sides but with the same uniforms

analog willow
#

I've been watching them in Zeus, they spawn with the OPFOR icon. Generally, a group spawns in the same point and they open fire until one is left. Some groups are fine though, and will not fire on any

#

I also have a Russian faction, but they won't ever shoot each other. Is it possible that it's just that faction that has some weird issue?

Ah alright will do. For anyone else having this issue it actually seems like it’s an issue with ALiVE and the RHS GREF ChDKZ faction as they are the only ones with that issue

Hm? You already have the DLCs downloaded, they're downloaded for everyone

#

Some servers may make it compulsory to own them, though

desert isle
#

The “structure” is dead simple, join servers that don’t require DLC. Or, try the quick launch/game.

rain wave
#

And really, apex is the only true requirement for some servers. The rest like marksman, carts, tanks, etc. All those you don't need to join, unless for some reason the mission designer specifies this (which they can). Apex is kind of weird, I like that we can use the asssets from Tanoa on different terrains, but it splits the community between owners and non-owners. Although I recommend it to anyone who liked playing arma 3, those stubborn enough not to will see it's worth the buy just for entry alone.

yah for those who see arma as a sandbox apex is like a whole new game

VR Tutorials.

#

It's a steep learning curve at the beginning but becomes easier.

#

yes

#

yes, this is a game. It has a learning curve, it's very high in the beginning as it's rather difficult to take in all at once.

#

Okay, then don't waste it.

#

learn without mods, you're making it harder for yourself from the start if you try and learn everything with mods

#
if(local player) then {
    showHUD false;
};
#

ACE has a whole new action system that will only confuse you if you're just starting. Don't load ACE.

#

Difficulty settings also dictate if something fades away or remains in view constantly

#

No? Everything, including map content markers can be disabled in regards to difficulty

No, play vanilla first...

sharp vortex

play vanilla first before you get into mods, you have overloaded yourself

#

too much new stuff and not enough knowledge of how the base game functions lol

#

its not Call of Duty

#

sorry if that is what you were expecting

#

this game doesn't hold your hand

tropic yarrow
#

OFP is ancient. How can you expect to compare the two?

sharp vortex
#

there are no double controls by default

#

the only time you get that problem is with mods, and you can change the keybinds to fit your setup

#

but you need to be calm and take the time to set shit up

#

well the way your ranting and raving about how the game sucks ass it seems you are very upset to me at least

play the VR tutorials and they will teach you the barebones

This hissy fit is amusing, and one of the few legitimate instances where the only advice I can tell you is to Git Gud.

keep screwing with UI feedback

sharp vortex
#

we are done

wise barn
#

first: get rid of your "typical FPS style" thinking. arma is NOT a FPS, it's a sandbox / simulation, and therefore has a shit ton of functions, modes, and controlls
learn the basic stuff, and once you are confident with that, start to polish your bindings

#

WHAT stuff?

sharp vortex
#

Remove your mods and play the stock game. 🖕

wise barn
#

if you can not handle the vanilla game, never try to use mods

quaint jewel
wise barn
#

IF you use mods, check their docs

#

sure

#

whadda you think?

quaint jewel
#

You are complaining that you got a sandbox game when you bought a military sandbox game.

supple thicket
#

@fallow remnant ?

sharp vortex
#

🍿

quaint jewel
#

You are complaining. Ask a question and get a answer. But "this is shit." doesn't help anyone

sharp vortex
#

you need to try and help yourself a little bit at least, my god.

wise barn
#

no, it's a "form a detailed question and wait for answers and NOT whine"

supple thicket
#

@fringe salmon hold up a moment. Have you played through the tutorial missions and the first SP campaign yet?

#

wise barn
#

hands the silencer

supple thicket
#

Okay, so what specific question do you have?

#

@fringe salmon formulate a specific question please.

wise barn
#

ok, seriously... take your time and PLEASE form your questions in ONE paragraph, not dozens of cut sentenses

tropic yarrow
#

well, the ui uses localizations. I am sure BI has plenty of native english speakers. Jay being one of them. Oh wait...

supple thicket
#

This channel is for troubleshooting and the etiquette is that people ask specific questions and then others attempt to help.

sharp vortex
#

even though BIS is based out of prague i've heard they got many native english speakers on the team, and even then, everything gets localization for several different languages

supple thicket
#

If you cannot formulate a specific question and just spam the channel with stream of consciousness stuff, you may get asked to stop posting or kicked.

quaint jewel
#

What "Gun thing"

placid token
#

...The Inventory Action Icon?

#

No.

quaint jewel
#

It's "Arma"

wise barn
#

@fringe salmon
again:

ok, seriously... take your time and PLEASE form your questions in ONE paragraph, not dozens of cut sentenses

sharp vortex
#

that is the action menu. it's not cod crap either.

tropic yarrow
#

is ui feedback such a trouble for you? How would you know you could open that crate?

wise barn
#

no you cant

sharp vortex
#

it is specifically designed to let you know that you can do something with that box

wise barn
#

it's essential fo the game

quaint jewel
#

Then you can't interact with anything.

wise barn
#

then don't play it... ezpz

sharp vortex
#

is it really so distracting that it is a game breaker for you?

quaint jewel
#

How do you choose the right action when you have 5 different ones on a box?

wise barn
#

but it is what it is

quaint jewel
#

Well the answer is. No you can't remove it.
Done. Solved. Next question please?

wise barn
#

deal with it

sharp vortex
#

the game is beyond the rest lol

quaint jewel
#

Wut? No you don't.

rustic tusk
#

just use mods to remove it if you really think that this game is like cod

quaint jewel
#

Arma is a Simulation.

#

In real life you know/feels things that the game can only show you via HUD.

#

That's why it's there

wise barn
#

sharp vortex
#

it allows modding, so guess what? you can get a mod that will take away the action menu pictures that pop up in your face if it bothers you that much

quaint jewel
wise barn
#

@fringe salmon
dude cmon... you're running in circles

#

next question, not ranting

sharp vortex
#

is this a problem you are having with the game?

#

or just more ranting

#

get rid of shack tac hud then if you don't want that

wise barn
#

WHAT THINGS??
you havent formed ONE serious and understandable question yet

rustic tusk
#

we're not being fanboys, again move to pretty much any other channel and not troubleshooting for this

#

(also yea, you really haven't had one serious question that has made sense)

sharp vortex
#

+1 to no serious questions that made sense

#

that is the most frustrating part for us

wise barn
#

before you answer, i'll say it AGAIN!!!

ok, seriously... take your time and PLEASE form your questions in ONE paragraph, not dozens of cut sentenses

quaint jewel
#

yes.

#

There are mods that can remove some actions. But you can't remove the menu

#

Yes. Climbing depends on mod.

sharp vortex
#

vaulting does

rustic tusk
#

yes, but only to a extent

#

err yes it should

#

not with everything, but for most things it should

wise barn
#

climbing like with the enhanced movement mod does not work in vanilla game

#

top right HUD can be adjusted with mods, but is there by default

quaint jewel
#

"top right" ? Before you said the interactions were "top left"
The scroll action display is usually "left middle"

rustic tusk
#

it tells you on the top right

wise barn
#

the top right shows you with specific icons what you have selected

quaint jewel
#

with ACE you can press SHIFT+G I think to see it.
Otherwise it tells next to what ammo you have. Unless you run ACE which can hide that.

#

ACE can.

supple thicket
#

@fringe salmon final warning. Form a question, wait for the answer and stop spamming this channel.

wise barn
#

if you remove that you don't know what you have selected

supple thicket
#

Next step is you get kicked.

sharp vortex
#

👌

quaint jewel
#

How would one show what grenade you have with a "sound"?

wise barn
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

quaint jewel
#

Again. If you run ACE. SHIFT+G to throw grenades

#

and don't use G

wise barn
#

are we done?
ok...

Hey guys, iam almost finished with my exile server and i have found a weird problem today. I use DMS,A3XAI + VCOMAI and all of the NPC's spawn without scopes on their weapons, even they are set in DMS and A3XAI. Anyone has a clue what the issue could be ?
Server RPT: https://pastebin.com/MiJvtEXt
I removed everything step by step to debug this problem, but i can't determine the issue

fading pulsar
#

Exile Discord is a better place to ask 😉

rain wave
#

I think that may be a performance prevenative measure. Less performance with scopes on AI weapons

fading pulsar
#

Not sure where from, it's not from the Exile mod, DMS has the option to allow/disallow, not sure about the others

#

@rain wave Turned out to be an issue from a mod

#

Hello

#

I'm facing a problem , battleeye client not responding

#

I play for 15-20 mins

#

then the game crashes from battleeye not responding

#

how to fix such issue?

#

anyone available?

#

while trying to verify

#

I get this

winter badger
#

wait for steam to redownload the files

#

if the problem persists

#

do a clean reinstall of the game

#

Also

#

I have noticed that when ever I try to connect to a Linux server

#

Battleye trips and kicks me

#

with the message "Client not responding"

#

reinstalling battleye did not work

#

reinstalling the game did not work

#

soooo I don't know

What's wrong with the feedback.bistudio.com Phabricator? it doesn't send me confirmation email or check email, when I join new account or forgot pwd.

I did. not there.

fringe salmon
#

Could anyone possibly know as to why my ArmA 3 keeps uninstalling itself every time I log out of steam?

uncut trellis
#

does it physically uninstall or does steam just not recognize the install?

fringe salmon
#

Physically uninstalls.

#

I have to reinstall the game.

uncut trellis
#

so the files are not there anymore?

#

did you check the installation folder?

fringe salmon
#

Hold on

#

My ArmA 3 files are still in the steam folder.

uncut trellis
#

so steam just does not recognize the install.

#

Id say its a issue with Steam

#

I've had that happen a couple of times for no apparent reason

fringe salmon
#

Do I need to reinstall steam?

uncut trellis
#

might not hurt

#

mind you you dont have to delete anything

#

just install steam over itself

fringe salmon
#

So just go on to the desktop and uninstall it?

#

I'm not great with computers.

#

Nevermind, I see what you mean. Install steam a second time over the one I already have.

#

Wouldn't that make it worse?

#

Having steam installed twice?

uncut trellis
#

no it overwrites it

#

and possibly fixes whatever is broken

#

Did anyone else lose their arsenal loadouts with the update?

#

How big is the update?

Is the USS Liberty supposed to be without any armaments when you place it in the editor?

Yes. You attach the armaments yourself, just like with the Carrier.

#

That's a shame, it will be so hard to get everything square

fallow remnant
#

You can save the composition though.

neat mica
#

I still don't understand why they couldn't provide both ships as built-in compositions

real kraken
#

I ran into bsod stop code video scheduler internal error

neat mica
#

a BSOD is always a driver or kernel level bug, not a game/application one

fallow remnant
#

Amazingly, DayZ SA was able to trigger BSODs somehow 😄

#

According to their dev diaries

real kraken
#

O

#

Now idk which driver to touch

fallow remnant
#

Use whocrashed

#

Also, this is for Arma related troubleshooting

quaint jewel
#

Battleye is a kernel driver. So... @neat mica might very well be DayZ's fault

neat mica
#

depends how you look at it. I should be able to bombard a kernel driver with all sorts of bad data, completely misuse and abuse it without it faulting. The ability to handle bad input is the responsibility of the driver developer to implement. Fixing the error handling the driver may reveal a problem in the application itself but I would argue that it's never the applications fault for triggering a kernel panic even when it's directly or indirectly a result of something the application has done.

#

I guess what you were saying is that since BE ships with Arma, Arma is in a way responsible.

quaint jewel
#

Battleye is very specialized software that knows exactly in what way the applications that are supposed to communicate with it will communicate with it.
They probably skipped some error checking at some points and DayZ then made a mistake that it shouldn't be doing

quaint jewel
#

out of memory...

#

I'd say the game crashing when it's out of memory is well known yes

#

The Arma malloc might have a maximum count of allocated objects

#

probably 32bit number

#

I had the same when I wasn't deallocating my script values

#

might aswell be a script that's creating thousands of variables or arrays with millions of entries

#

Does the RPT dump anything before that happens?

#

all these parameters are useless 😄

#

-high doesn't even exist

#

although -maxMem might be useful. Will probably make the server kill itself before it arrives at the max "virtual memory blocks"

#

profiling build might dump more info

wise barn
#

why keeps everybody forgetting about the -gimmemoahFPSnaow param?!?

quaint jewel
#

Atleast back when I was goofing up with profiling build it dumped a full allocator info about all the pool allocators

#

virtual memory blocks is in engine pool allocator. Should be independent of malloc

#

but could atleast be worth a try

#

-hugePages could also work

#

I did. Don't really have time today so I'm leaving it there to remind me tomorrow

dire quartz
#

not sure how to ask this because people dont seem to care too much but its about be ping kicks and why im getting them all of a sudden on servers that i have played for over a year on this same rig, the answers in any support or forum only seem to work for 25% of players and my only option thus far is to create my own server i have troubleshot this thing for over a month now even speaking with Kuplion and a few others who know be and arma3 intimately and even they have no idea what to do about it at this point i dont have the patience to create yet another forum post when i know im only going to get the same 10 answers none of which work. im lost confused and starting to get irritated that i cant even play a game that im supposedly able to do server development for

#

but when i cant connect even to my own server it makes owning the game pointless

#

also sorry for the lack of punctuation im really busy and cant be assed about it right now

desert isle
#

im really busy and cant be assed about it right now

So are the people who might have considered helping you. The way they will see that post, especially the final bit, is " If you can't be assed, why should we??"

dire quartz
#

im talking about my punctuation

#

i was in a flury writing and i didnt notice the punctuation until after i hit enter

#

but hey no one is human and prone to emotions right?

desert isle
#

I'm human.

wise barn
#

wait untill you're not so busy anymore, add punctuation, and hope smb is reading it then

dire quartz
#

and so am i im just asking for some help with an issue for which i have exhausted all options other than direct contact

wise barn
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

quaint jewel
#

I might be able to help you. But I can't be assed to read that blob of text without any punctuation. And you can't be assed to add punctuation. I think we have a slight conflict here.

dire quartz
#

ok lets try this again

desert isle
#

Punctuation means the difference between: I helped my uncle, Jack, off a horse. or I helped my uncle jack off a horse

dire quartz
#

im gonna bite my tongue now so i can actually get the help i need i hope you can do the same

#

so here is the issue

desert isle
#

As far as "troubleshooting" is concerned, let's start with the basics. What sort of ping are we talking about? What sort of connection do you have? Where are you connecting from and where are you connecting to?

dire quartz
#

wired ethernet with 1gb of throughput, be ping kick of 800+ (as per logs from several different servers all around the world, including my own (which is hosted in the UK) im on the east coast of the US.

desert isle
#

800?

dire quartz
#

yes

desert isle
#

If it's 800, no wonder you're being kicked.

dire quartz
#

according to the logs ive recieved from server owners

#

yes i get that, but there is NO way im actually getting that kind of ping to servers ive connected to with the same rig on the same connection for the past year with absolutely no issues until the last month or two

#

so i took my rig and connected it direct to the modem eliminating the router that didnt work.

desert isle
#

What is their MAXPING set to?

dire quartz
#

i have no idea its so many different servers

#

mostly i connect to the UK but now i can only do that rarely

desert isle
#

First off, stick with East Coast servers

dire quartz
#

why, when before ive had NO issues connecting

#

besides most of the people i find on the east coast dont employ the styles of gameplay i enjoy most

desert isle
#

And there are 1,000 variables in between as to why.

dire quartz
#

oh i know i get that

#

i just feel the issue is somewhere between my and the server but not at my end or the servers end

quaint jewel
#

looking for causes in your hardware for a 800ms ping is the wrong approach

dire quartz
#

i know

#

i isolated everything

desert isle
#

Try the closest server and see what you get.

quaint jewel
#

so you drove to the UK. And set down next to the datacenter to check if your ping is better there?

dire quartz
#

if i had a way to contact them i would but half the servers i connect to dont have active admins

#

unless my computer saves a copy of the infistar log that would tell me why i got kicked

quaint jewel
#

did you contact your internet provider yet?

#

or do a traceroute?

dire quartz
#

yes

#

all of that

#

seems to have no issues

quaint jewel
#

aaaand what did it tell you?

#

So the traceroute shows normal ping. Just the Arma server has high ping?

dire quartz
#

0 packet loss over 200 connections

#

yes

wise barn
#

arma:
you can run it with 80+ mods and get 15ms pings and 60fps
then one day later, it's not even launcing at all...

quaint jewel
#

did you try a UDP ping? not ICMP?

wise barn
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

dire quartz
#

BUT i dont see those high pings in the a3 launcher

#

or in the arma launcher

#

@quaint jewel can you explain how i do that ive only done tracert

#

and obviously the ping command in cmd prompt

#

i used 3 different internet connections and 2 different isp's to try and isolate the issue as well

quaint jewel
#

I dunno how one does that. Never did it

#

but some internet providers. especially US give UDP a lower priority and drop the crap out of it

dire quartz
#

like ill get on the a3 launcher and see there a ping for a favorite server of no higher than say 150-200 ms, but after i log in for 5-10 minutes i get kicked and i ask why they said BE ping kick and its usually a really insane value

#

ok ill look into it

quaint jewel
#

on linux you can do UDP traceroute via the -U parameter. But I guess you're not on linux

dire quartz
#

no i wish i have no idea where or how to start and can you even arma on linux?

fallow remnant
#

yes

dire quartz
#

well then it might be time for me to learn about linux

#

im going to try to run some high packet pings and tracert's to a couple of the servers in question, and see what comes up

#

well that just timed right out i have no idea what im doing anymore

#

ok real arma question could scripts running on the servers that offload to client like AI and other such things cause my lag issues in any way?

quaint jewel
#

they can cause fps drops

dire quartz
#

ok but not BE ping kicks?

quaint jewel
#

no

dire quartz
#

ok

quaint jewel
#

There is a bug going around that just randomly kicks alot of people from a server if there are many players on it

dire quartz
#

most of the servers ive been on lately i chose for a lack of players usually 5 online at the most

#

but i have noticed more players = faster kick

#

from my end anyways

fringe salmon
#

It could be the server tick rate dropping dramatically, could be the random kick bug. Might not be anything to do with your connection to the server at all. It is always a bit of a risk going across the transatlantic link with UDP as when its busy you get dropped but it is usually OK

dense tulip
#

are the mission parameters broken now? I cant change any mission parameters on the dedicated server anymore?

rustic tusk
#

Depends on the server; but yea by the looks of it some servers are

#

it was working last week before this 1.84 patch... -_-

uncut trellis
#

Anything modded may break after a patch changes things. Just the natural order of things.

rustic tusk
#

@uncut trellis the offical servers are broken for their paramaters

#

(so on some zeus server's it's basically unplayable)

#

you can't modify the settings, so no revive mode, no god mode, and game mods are always stuck on editing

#

(etc)

dense tulip
#

found the issue, when the server host updated arma they updated my server default settings with autoinit on.... had to turn it off again.

uncut trellis
#

well seems like official stuff breaks too when updates roll in ;D

#

whats the official stuff but BI made mods anyway 😄

Okay, I must be going mad... does F-11 have an assigned function in Arma3? For some reason, when I press it, it flashes my Numlock key and plays a series of beeps (in step, two then three). Control scheme suggests that, when I press F11, it's quickly typing in F11+2xPause

I've been stripping away my background apps, but it's only doing it in Arma

for D3D error

uncut trellis
#

could be hardware problem

fallow remnant
#

Yeah

#

You sure the GPU isn't overheating or something?

chrome merlin
#

It's not overheating ,yeah

#

I play other games that needs higher Requirements than Arma 3 , but it doesn't crash or freezes

#

I have this problem only in Arma 3

tried to run it in 32 Bit

also same problem

uncut trellis
#

does not mean it could not be a driver/hardware issue

just something thats triggered in Arma

it's happened to me with considerable consistency

#

@wise barn

wise barn
#

that's your problem right there... win 10 can't handle GPU driver micro dropouts and gives you the "device removed" error

chrome merlin
#

so what shall I do?

wise barn
#

buy win 8.1 oem for less than 20,- on ebay

chrome merlin
#

and this is a problem in Win 10 only?

wise barn
#

i never ran into this kind of problems with win 8.1
i had win 10 for a while (3 days) and instantly regret to even install it. my worst 3 days ever

#

you still could manually remove all GPU and USB drivers, go to the manufacturing website, manually download the latest versions, and also manually install them. DO NOT use the windows auto installer!

desert isle
#

But just to confuse you more. I’ve been on w10 since day one and have had no problems

yeah well, you are a special kind 😉

yah 10 works fine for me
except when I alt tab and it crashes the game
the rest is fine

I've got an editor mission and for some reason it shows up with the filename even tho I've given it a name in the description.ext and in EDEN

I have no idea why I can't get it to show up with the mission name instead of the file name.

#

you can try \☑ binarize option in the attributes @dusty pollen

(if you are in mp editor, to refresh missions list just re create the host😃)

dusty pollen
#

I think that it might be binarized

#

and yeah, I tried backing out and rehosting

Oh, binarizing fixed it. Huh, I don't know why binarization would affect that, good looking out tho.

#

Not even a big deal, but it was still bothering the heck out of me haha. Thanks, yo! 🙌

quaint jewel
#

I think it doesn't make the effort to read so deep into the mission config if it's not binarized and it knows that it will take quite a longer time at reading that.
Just a performance measure

wanton shale

also i know some people includes unbinarized mission.sqm in description.ext

(afaik there is some troubles with that way)

Can you post a screenshot of the opened ports?

#

Don't have access to my fritzbox cuz... relationship issues 🙄

wise barn
#

didn't read it's you red :D
i should know you know your stuff

lone raven
#

lol

quaint jewel
#

"Arma server to client traffic" TCP and UDP? or UDP only?

lone raven
#

UDP

quaint jewel
#

Don't remember if I ever tried hosting a arma server locally behind that router. But never had any other problems with forwards

lone raven
#

😩

#

also checked my firewall and upnp service, but that stuff is good too

quaint jewel
#

got my windows firewall disabled

lone raven
#

I can try.

quaint jewel
#

Causes more problems than it helps

#

Actually doesn't help at all. Besides on a windows server install that's open to the interweebz

lone raven
#

Well, I think I know why

#

DS-Lite tunneling - thanks Vodafone 😩

wise barn
#

you're kidding, right?

#

@lone raven
i read something about IPv6 in DS-Lite tunnels is beeing a bitch for connectivity. the articles i read where about troubles remote controlling gear like NAS and other stuff, but i guess this also applies to arma connections as well

lone raven
#

yup

wise barn
#

is your OSP contract from before 2013?

lone raven
#

nope

wise barn
#

damnit

lone raven
#

2016

wise barn
#

shit, no chance to revert back to IPv4 then i guess

#

strange and not the best, but have you tried hamachi for testing?

lone raven
#

Nah, it's not that important

@wet coyote or anyone else - have a clue about what is happeninghere? my friend cannot run pboproject (free version), he has makepbo installed (see left pane) but for some reason pboproject is saying it is not installed.

#

tell him to install it again

yes that worked thanks!

I am having a issue when someone join my server everyone else there gear disapears off them so the vest,helmet and backpack?

mystic cave
#

Hallo! I wish to setup a dedicated server so my friends and clan members can join off of. My biggest issue is getting the server to show up so they are able to join. Any word on how to fix this?

wise barn
#

Local host or rented server?

#

@mystic cave

mystic cave
#

local

wise barn
#

Are all needed ports forwarded on your router?

mystic cave
#

I believe so, I've used port checker and it comes up saying ports are open for both TCP and UDP

wise barn
#

Guessing doesn't help the cause. Make sure and check your router settings

mystic cave
#

I always get "UPNP failed" when trying to use TADST

#

but when I set it up manually it seems to "work"

mystic cave
#

Seems like you need to jump through too many hoops for it to be worth it

quaint jewel
#

upnp never worked for me ¯_(ツ)_/¯

mystic cave
#

Damn, its almost like they don't want it to work

#

I don't understand how I followed through BI's official pape on setting it all up yet it still doesnt show when trying to search for it on the server list

#

Then I try searching for it on battlemetrics but it comes up with "Server failed to respond to query"

wanton shale
#

maybe check your firewall rules

mystic cave
#

done that, disabled it too just for the sake of getting results

umm my import button is greyed out what help

#

is it because mods are installing

fringe salmon
#

????

uncut trellis
#

import button where? what are you trying to do? we cant see/know anything unless you explain your situtation

fringe salmon
#

i was importing a html and the preset import button is greyed out and i dont know how to fix it

uncut trellis
#

importing html where?

#

you dont really make much sense right now.

fringe salmon
#

importing mods

uncut trellis
#

so in the launcher

fringe salmon
#

yes

#

the import button is greyed out

uncut trellis
#

That I know nothing about. But maybe now that you have explained the problem some one knows whats going on.

fringe salmon
#

look at the import button

#

???

uncut trellis
#

I dont have answer for you. try restarting steam and the launcher

fringe salmon
#

i did that before

uncut trellis
#

then you got to wait if someone can help

desert isle
#

@fringe salmon You will receive no help here for that as Star Wars mods are Banned.

prime acorn
#

why?
copyrights?

desert isle
#
  1. Most important reason copyright/IP rights violations.
  2. All known Star Wars mods are ripped from other games.
  3. Even if they were 100% made from scratch, they’d still violate #1.
prime acorn
#

I though IP and copyrights violations rules applied only if you earn money out of them

desert isle
#

No

#

Don’t confuse Arma server monetisation rules with Copyright and IP Laws.

prime acorn
#

oh my bad
they're not off the workshop tho

#

When I am trying to convert my map file to a PBO it says "Detected unbinarised wrp" and will not turn it into a PBO does anyone know how to fix this? It would be much appreciated.

rustic tusk
#

you're using mikero's tools, correct

potent dune
#

Yea, EliteNess 5.53

rustic tusk
#

a screenshot of the error would be helpful as well

potent dune
uncut trellis
#

@potent dune eliteness is not he packing software

#

pboProject is

rustic tusk
#

that'd do it

uncut trellis
#

solution == use pboProject

potent dune
#

I will try that. Thanks for the help!

Yo lads, so I got a weird issue. Ever since the most latest update my 21:9 is always set on Stretch and whenever I select Non-Stretch it just switches back to Stretch

Anyone faced the same issue? thonkang

#

why isnt my Steam overlay not working in ARMA 3

umbral viper
#

sooo ahh anyone found a fix for win10+ objectbuilder?? this is becoming painfull real quick

uncut trellis
#

Yes. Install win 7 or 8.

umbral viper
#

😦 i just reinstalled 10 haha

uncut trellis
#

If I recall right using the DX draw mode in the viewports they should work better

#

other than that no solutions

umbral viper
#

is it likley to cause issues with the final product if working in dx mode?

uncut trellis
#

Either Microsoft fix what they broke or BI fix what the MS change broke

#

no

umbral viper
#

yeah and can garantee ms wont bother to help in any way

#

ill give it a go all fails then back to 7 😦

uncut trellis
#

what do you do in OB?

#

just about everything can be done outside it

umbral viper
#

at the mo, fixes for weapons, eg fixing lods or properties

#

animations aswell

uncut trellis
#

well that you might need OB for

umbral viper
#

that and robs teaching me everything in OB so better stick with that for now

desert isle
#

There’s a reason it’s called object “breaker”

quaint jewel
#

No that was Addon Breaker ^^
I have the OB problem on Win8 too btw

desert isle

I have memory breaker 😣

fringe salmon
#

why isnt my Steam overlay not working in ARMA 3

quaint jewel
#

Perfect copy-paste. Thanks.
Is it working in other games? Battleye maybe? Does the screenshot button work?

fringe salmon
#

It does work for other games

#

no features of Steam overlay work @quaint jewel

quaint jewel
#

And that middle question?

#

Does Arma Launcher maybe tell you that battleye blocked the steam overlay?

fringe salmon
#

where is it suppose to say it

quaint jewel
#

I think there is a battleye or log button on the left side

fringe salmon
#

?

#

@quaint jewel

quaint jewel
#

Exactly there. It would display there if it blocked anything
But nothing there. So it's probably not battleye

fringe salmon
#

So whats the cause

#

cause Steam Overlay is ticked in game options

I think we got spammers incoming...

No we dont.

We were told to ask for help from USG

Literally they told us to come ehre and ask dwarden to fix tfr for mac

quaint jewel
#

Ah.. PsiSyn then..

#

You better leave.

fringe salmon
#

No

#

Youre not listening

#

USG,

#

I was in the technical help channel

rustic tusk
#

Suddenly, he probably feels less compelled to do what you want 🤔

fringe salmon
#

And they told us to ask dedman or dwarden to fix TFR for mac

quaint jewel
fringe salmon
#

how

#

I dont understand what i'm breaking

#

Im just asking someone to fix TFR

#

So I could play on a server

#

@quaint jewel

quaint jewel
#

What a coincidence that PsiSyn shuts down.. Redirects all his players to USG.... And suddenly trolls from USG appear out of nowhere.
If you want TFAR stuff. Ask for that on TFAR Discord so that I can ban you.

fringe salmon
#

Literally not from PsiSyn

Having some sort of issue with CBA_A3, my server has it installed and is required by CUP. Red circle indicates signature mismatch 'CBA_A3from library. Blow says Mods not allowed on server CBA_A3. Ive subscribed/unsubscribed from CBA, and restarted A3. What should I do?

quaint shadow
#

@fringe salmon there was a cba update recently, did you update the server?

fringe salmon
#

I just recently updated the server itself to the current A3 version @quaint shadow how would i go about updating that mod to its current on the server?

quaint shadow
#

depends on how you host your server ........

#

how did you install the mod ?

quaint shadow
#

stares at @fringe salmon

fringe salmon
#

oh thanks jcd, I use a hosting company, it's in a mod folder with the launch parameter set.

#

do you rekon delete it and replace i suppose?

quaint shadow
#

i don't know, i have seen at least 3 different web interfaces of such companies. since the mod is tiny yeah sure delete it and redownload ?

#

One day i'll get rich by some means which have nothing to do with arma, then i'm going to hire a really good dev team to write a flawless, bugfree, easy to use arma 3 server hosting panel and then i'm gonna be super rich.

fringe salmon
#

hah, ok well, thinking out loud has helped with this issue thanks!

fringe salmon
#

for the past couple of hours i've been trying to get the scenario file of a server that i play on so i can explore the changes to the map they've made, i've found the directory, and i'm trying to unpack the PBO., and it doesn't work with PBO manager and Mikero's tools are saying it's confuscated. what should i do?

uncut trellis
#

you cant open it

#

whoever made it does not want people to mess with it

fringe salmon
#

but how would you manually make a PBO like that

#

plus, i'm not accessing the actually server

#

i'm just accessing my own copy of the scenario

#

it doesn't change anything

uncut trellis
#

yes but if its obfuscated it means you cant access it

#

and the maker of the mission file does not want you to open it

fringe salmon
#

hmm

#

well no, it must not be. because i've done it before with a different scenario, and now that's not working either

uncut trellis
#

why do you need to open them anyway?

#

just play them?

fringe salmon
#

yeah

#

cuz they made changes to the map through the editor

#

and i just wanna explore

uncut trellis
#

thats not exploring

#

sounds kinda like cheating

#

youre supposed to play teh mission

fringe salmon
#

it's not a "mission" though

#

it's a massive life server

#

it's an australian life

uncut trellis
#

yea I KNOW

#

it has been pretty obvious

fringe salmon
#

okay okay

#

chiiiiill

uncut trellis
#

since life ppl are pretty much only ones obfuscating stuff

#

but youre still not supposed to open it up

fringe salmon
#

do you reckon i should get an admin of the server to give me a copy?

uncut trellis
#

that would be the right way to ask for it

#

but really why not just play the game

desert isle
#

Do be aware that if they think you’ve been trying to find ways to unobfuscate it, you very well may be banned by them.

@bitter drum Ask your question, don't ask to ask your question.

bitter drum
#

lol it's being weird. I installed from a groups mod list, so i have the exact same one they have, but ingame It says "different version of Task Force Radio are used. Server version: 1.-1.0.298, your version 0.9.12

#

so it's not letting me use it on Teamspeak.

tropic yarrow
#

Sounds like server is running beta version. Have you tried asking them?

bitter drum
#

yeah, thats the one that i have installed.

#

i've asked, but no one's answered yet

#

and that was yesterday.

tropic yarrow
#

Alright, well they're obviously distributing a different version than they are running on the server. 0.9.12 I believe is the latest non beta version

quaint jewel
#

You got a answer on your question on steam workshop

#

you are definetly running 0.9.12

#

Maybe you are running both

quaint shadow
#

@bitter drum You updated / installed the Teamspeak plugin, too ?

quaint jewel
#

That has nothing to do with the ingame warning about a different version being installed

uncut trellis
#

water, something salty and sleep

tropic yarrow
#

Wouldn't something salty dehydrate even further? Absorb the water and then body doesn't retain the hydration

#

I don't think the initial question was very serious, but I am curious

desert isle
#

Your body needs a balance of nutrients, salt being one of them. As you sweat, you lose salt too. So, if you’re only replacing what you’ve lost with water, you will have an imbalance. Hence why when you go to the hospital for dehydration, they hook you up to NS (Normal Saline).
