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
The last big win update fucked stuff hard
@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.
Was it this so called creators update? Can't recall. One of the many reasons i'm still in 8.1
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
@copper flower
you have what version of arma?!?
1.68, also I kinda forgot you have to refund within 2 weeks
I should probably update
bbl
1.68 is not latest stable. 1.82 is
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
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.
hey so im trying to add some mods to my server hosted from nitrado and if i add rhs mods or niarms or the ace compat mods it doesnt respond but it works if i remove them this is my mod list excluding task force radio https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/464895877274796054/468425900036456460/Antistasi.html
what tdoes the server log say
Warning Message: Addon 'rhs_2s3' requires addon 'rhs_c_2s3' Look if your rhs_c_2s3 pbo is there
yea its in the folder in the servers files
its in the rhsafrf folder and then addons
@quaint jewel it came back with a massive error it seems its not detecting that i have the addons
rhs_main.pbo - unknown delete it and reupload it completly. something probably went wrong with the upload
where do i download the files from btw i just took them from my game but i dont think thats a good idea
Steam workshop
you subscribe to it and then you got them locally
Steam workshop downloads might also be corrupted though
i think i figured it out
in my file browser for the server
all the pbos are showing 0 bytes but they shouldnt be
(∩`-´)⊃━☆゚.*・。゚ fix
lol
?
Yeah I see literally nothing in there saying Arma. So you are probably wrong here
¯_(ツ)_/¯
The vest i made is not appearing in game its just blank like the armor and that appear but no vest
check your RPT for errors
No errors on my RPT that i could find
wrong paths, packed wrong, bad model, not running right addon. Could be a lot of things
no model.cfg, no right config
Checked the paths and I packed it correect with addon builder under arma tools
Config.cpp is there
addon builder lets through just about anything without complaints
so it still could be anything
I couldnt see anytrhing bad in my RPT
also rpt also does not show everything.
@cerulean zenith
use pboProject to pack your addon
ok
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
ok i will download it now
wise choice
just ask your qestions. if smb knows about it, you'll get a response
also make sure your normals arent inverted
I know about R3F, what's up @tawny bison
Hey guys, can someone explain me what happend ?? How to get back default settings for windows ?
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/449542467054993411/470177737311649792/unknown.png?width=1202&height=677
Does Window\Four Views do anything?
Hello. Can someone help me with a question about r3f
Once i complete my mission i'm unable to load the crate into the car/armed V. It doesn't even let me pick it up. R2F is already installed and everything seems to work
anyone know what i'm doing wrong
R3F* not r2f
can anyone help me for a sec?
something about R3F, although i've no clue what that is
It's a french weapons mod
But it can't be about R3F
he already asked about it before. Sounds like he needs help with something else now

@supple thicket this is spam 👆🏽
?
@fallow remnant might be some guy making sure his account doesn't disappear that isn't claimed via email
could just post whatever message anywhere and delete it again. No need to bother other users
He’s been removed
thanks it was starting to annoy me
can some one set up my server for me
can i troubleshoot mods here 2?
@fringe salmon still error bruh?
u know at the start of an mp game there is a crashed helicopter in the centre of the area how do u leave
is there anyone that could help me out with some ace 3 questions
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
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
hmmm no cba options either
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
What server?
windows but i think this doesnt matter
grab #perf_prof_branch and if it still crashes send the dumps to Dwarden directly
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?
profiling won't help you with crashes
dunno if running without mods would make a diff
as i said just to collect more data..
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.
roger
How do you make ace easier we get one shot consistently
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
or remove ace medical?
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
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 😄
Sounds cheaty but sure if your having fun who cares
Yea ill tell my friends we need to git gud
As long as the other players don't know about it ¯_(ツ)_/¯
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.
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.
just ignore it, it's a large server and this guy should know that with such a large server that won't ping anyon
heheh block works well xD
i find it funny that he's trying to ping everyone
the idiot
ye xD
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
if you're over the age of six you should know at everyone does nothing
@rustic tusk dont talk to him, just ignore it
i enjoy how you've actually lost one member since you've started spamming
Wow
ye he's actually lost one member since this spam started
acer
yes, just dont respond. creeps like that feed on any attention
Seems he just left the discord, but hasn't been banned
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
they probably got an email address
you are not likely to get a fast solution though so you got to be patient
@stone plover do you have their email?
@stray current why don't you just like... Talk to @scarlet orchid ?
Ive tried
Well if THE infistar guy doesn't want you to be unbanned then you are out of luck
No, it's more like 3 AM EST.
If you're referring to your local timezone. It is not 4 PM EST right now.
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
If you've already attempted once, and failed. good luck
armake can... but... not really
Are you packing with mikeros tools?
they might tell you what's wrong before it happens
@median topaz are you packing Arma 3 or Arma 2 mod?
mm I think youre not supposed to be packing those
thats forbidden
what you are doing is against the rules
you have pretty much fucked up big time
Nor can armake or any other publicly available tool
there are no others.
@desert isle
And you won't get any help here ifyou ignore the rules
your english is perfect. No reason to be sorry for it.
Exactly.
that is illegal
you are trying to steal them
and that will get you banned very fast
they work if you create stuff on your own instead of taking other peoples stuff without permission
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
@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?
@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"
Removed
it says that in steam dialog yes
what happens ingame?
can he join there? Via the friends servers list?
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
can he direct connect to the IP he sees when he opens that steam server dialog thingy?
What ports did you forward?
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
UDP port forward? Not TCP?
both
could theoretically be that your internet provider blocks them on his end. I heard that mainly from American providers.
What do you mean blocks them?
Their firewall doesn't let them through
Anyway I can change that?
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
has anyone come across this line pboproject?
""C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3 Tools\Binarize\Binarize.exe" -targetBonesInterval=56 -textures=p:\temp -binPath=P:

What are you trying to do?
pack a vehicle ive slapped together
rodger, thank you
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.
Log file: https://pastebin.com/17PPuadQ
is anyone else having constant "Assertion failed" using the SteamCMD?
\src\common\contentmanifest.cpp (650) : Assertion Failed: !m_bIsFinalized
is anyone else's title menu backwards-TABing through all the controls? it started happening since the new Steam chat update today
It's a pretty common glitch actually, if you switch menu's or tab out it should fix it
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?
@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
odd, that's how i've always fixed it
and then when I plugged it back in, the tabbing stopped
SO, no idea why that fixed it, but I'l take it
it doesn't really make much sense - unless the game starts thinking the key is held down when it isn't
none of them, I just start up the game client and it happens - gonna restart and see if it happens again
odd, i've experienced this plenty of times, but not like that 🤔
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
Anyone got any ideas to my dilemma I posted above?
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?
Sounds like they're being grouped with opposite sides
Or are being spawned as opposite sides but with the same uniforms
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?
@analog willow
ALiVE has a discord. Check #channel_invites_list or their website for the link
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
Hi, I'm in middle of a mission with a mate and weather is persistantly foggy and its making shit to play mission but put alot of time into it so would like to force change weather is there a way to force weather to change?
found this: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/forceWeatherChange but dont know how to execute it
@tacit condor there is the example
dont know how to execute commands on a game think ive figured it out though
👍
Not sure if this is for troubleshooting on the web site as well
but when I click the finish Unit registration
nothing happens
it just goes back to being green
and I dont wanna re-do it lol
And now it won’t connect me to log onto steam. Unless their servers are down?
Hm? You already have the DLCs downloaded, they're downloaded for everyone
Some servers may make it compulsory to own them, though
The “structure” is dead simple, join servers that don’t require DLC. Or, try the quick launch/game.
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
Indictators (fuzzy and hex) can be disabled.
lets calm down in here
No, play vanilla first...
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
OFP is ancient. How can you expect to compare the two?
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
oh
i see your problem
you want an xbox controller to work with this?
🤦
and you expected to plug and play with all these assets?
only unitl you learn how to play
its as polished as it can be when the game engine is 15 years old
going on 19 if you count this year. also the AI will fuck you up very hard, and that is a reality for even experienced players
Financial status of BI was bad in 2013. So. Yes.
Arma 3 is an amazing game. You're just stuck on it's steepest part of the skill curve and you're having a hard time learning it.
This hissy fit is amusing, and one of the few legitimate instances where the only advice I can tell you is to Git Gud.
you are right. its not for Call of Duty players who like twitch shooting and killstreaks
git gud
well, arma 3 is "sort of" VBS with better graphics. look it up
so much for "no tactical gameplay"
solutions to what?
tell us what your problem is in clear language instead of whining
still waiting
What on earth are you on about, man
Jesus reset the controls to default, choose one of the presets
and go through the tutorials
WITHOUT MODS
Don't
🍿
you're a master in wasting our damn time, as of now.
you don't
the action menu?
it's the action menu
that is part of the game
the scroll menu?
yes
that is how you will interact with things other than using a keybind, hell you can bind most ofthe stuff in the action menu to keybinds if you like too
Yes it does.
you see your arm throw the grenade.
its just there as an alternative or if mission maker doesn't want to use a keybind for it
CTRL + G cycles your grenades by default, you'll see them switch in the top right (by default)
oh my god, this is descending into troll territory now
now what the fuck are you going on about?
fuck this shit. im up 👌 troll mode activated
then you keep screwing with UI feedback that you need, that is your fault. Not the games
sure
@supple thicket help
keep screwing with UI feedback
we are done
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?
Remove your mods and play the stock game. 🖕
if you can not handle the vanilla game, never try to use mods
250 new mesages in #arma3_troubleshooting Doesn't sound like you are troubleshooting anything at all.
You are complaining that you got a sandbox game when you bought a military sandbox game.
@fallow remnant ?
🍿
You are complaining. Ask a question and get a answer. But "this is shit." doesn't help anyone
you need to try and help yourself a little bit at least, my god.
no, it's a "form a detailed question and wait for answers and NOT whine"
@fringe salmon hold up a moment. Have you played through the tutorial missions and the first SP campaign yet?
puts his Makarov on the table
hands the silencer
Okay, so what specific question do you have?
@fringe salmon formulate a specific question please.
ok, seriously... take your time and PLEASE form your questions in ONE paragraph, not dozens of cut sentenses
well, the ui uses localizations. I am sure BI has plenty of native english speakers. Jay being one of them. Oh wait...
This channel is for troubleshooting and the etiquette is that people ask specific questions and then others attempt to help.
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
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.
What "Gun thing"
It's "Arma"
@fringe salmon
again:
ok, seriously... take your time and PLEASE form your questions in ONE paragraph, not dozens of cut sentenses
that is the action menu. it's not cod crap either.
is ui feedback such a trouble for you? How would you know you could open that crate?
no you cant
it is specifically designed to let you know that you can do something with that box
it's essential fo the game
Then you can't interact with anything.
then don't play it... ezpz
is it really so distracting that it is a game breaker for you?
How do you choose the right action when you have 5 different ones on a box?
but it is what it is
Well the answer is. No you can't remove it.
Done. Solved. Next question please?
deal with it
the game is beyond the rest lol
Wut? No you don't.
just use mods to remove it if you really think that this game is like cod
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
☝
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
Dude. #arma3_troubleshooting. If you just want to complain. Go #offtopic_arma
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
WHAT THINGS??
you havent formed ONE serious and understandable question yet
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)
+1 to no serious questions that made sense
that is the most frustrating part for us
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
yes.
There are mods that can remove some actions. But you can't remove the menu
Yes. Climbing depends on mod.
vaulting does
yes, but only to a extent
err yes it should
not with everything, but for most things it should
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
"top right" ? Before you said the interactions were "top left"
The scroll action display is usually "left middle"
it tells you on the top right
the top right shows you with specific icons what you have selected
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.
@fringe salmon final warning. Form a question, wait for the answer and stop spamming this channel.
if you remove that you don't know what you have selected
Next step is you get kicked.
👌
How would one show what grenade you have with a "sound"?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
are we done?
ok...
_getting back to roadtrip planing _
Oooh! Best type of planning
puts Makarov back in the drawer
man, i would've liked to witness the makarov being use
No.
ok
sadface
would be good show to watch :p i'd get popcorn to see makarov being used
Okay. You can.

Oooh! Best type of planning
not if you travel with a woman... more in OT if you like
thx fer
Chris, I send my sympathy.
wow... cool... i can buy shit with that... i need a shit ton of sleeping pills for her, so she doesn't smartass me while driving
😄
🤣
"you know, we would safe a lot of fuel if you would just stay behind this truck and use the wind shadow..."
yeah right... like i am all happy about stareing at a truck's ass for the next 200km
and yes, ofc she's right. but i'm not going on a roadtrip / vacation to save money. i do it to f***ing spend it...
women......
well... this one at least
😉
doesn't tell him that it's designed to malfunction
throws booby-trapped round into the bin
plan fails as usual
again, not really the discussion for "troubleshooting"
@fringe salmon Can I ask a question please? #arma3_questions
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
Exile Discord is a better place to ask 😉
I think that may be a performance prevenative measure. Less performance with scopes on AI weapons
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
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.
check spams maybe ?
I did. not there.
Could anyone possibly know as to why my ArmA 3 keeps uninstalling itself every time I log out of steam?
does it physically uninstall or does steam just not recognize the install?
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
Do I need to reinstall steam?
might not hurt
mind you you dont have to delete anything
just install steam over itself
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?
Did anyone else lose their arsenal loadouts with the update?
How big is the update?
4GB I think
Anyone have an issue where they cant turn on the radar on the turrets/radar pieces?
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
You can save the composition though.
I still don't understand why they couldn't provide both ships as built-in compositions
I ran into bsod stop code video scheduler internal error
a BSOD is always a driver or kernel level bug, not a game/application one
Amazingly, DayZ SA was able to trigger BSODs somehow 😄
According to their dev diaries
Battleye is a kernel driver. So... @neat mica might very well be DayZ's fault
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.
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
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
why keeps everybody forgetting about the -gimmemoahFPSnaow param?!?
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
maybe ask in #server_admins or #server_windows or #server_linux ?
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
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??"
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?
I'm human.
wait untill you're not so busy anymore, add punctuation, and hope smb is reading it then
and so am i im just asking for some help with an issue for which i have exhausted all options other than direct contact
¯_(ツ)_/¯
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.
ok lets try this again
Punctuation means the difference between: I helped my uncle, Jack, off a horse. or I helped my uncle jack off a horse
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
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?
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.
800?
yes
If it's 800, no wonder you're being kicked.
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.
What is their MAXPING set to?
i have no idea its so many different servers
mostly i connect to the UK but now i can only do that rarely
First off, stick with East Coast servers
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
And there are 1,000 variables in between as to why.
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
looking for causes in your hardware for a 800ms ping is the wrong approach
Try the closest server and see what you get.
so you drove to the UK. And set down next to the datacenter to check if your ping is better there?
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
aaaand what did it tell you?
So the traceroute shows normal ping. Just the Arma server has high ping?
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...
did you try a UDP ping? not ICMP?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
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
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
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
on linux you can do UDP traceroute via the -U parameter. But I guess you're not on linux
no i wish i have no idea where or how to start and can you even arma on linux?
yes
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?
they can cause fps drops
ok but not BE ping kicks?
no
ok
There is a bug going around that just randomly kicks alot of people from a server if there are many players on it
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
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
are the mission parameters broken now? I cant change any mission parameters on the dedicated server anymore?
Depends on the server; but yea by the looks of it some servers are
it was working last week before this 1.84 patch... -_-
Anything modded may break after a patch changes things. Just the natural order of things.
@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)
found the issue, when the server host updated arma they updated my server default settings with autoinit on.... had to turn it off again.
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
is there anything going on with the recent update and the battleye plugin?
mine is wrecked exactly after 15-30 secs on KOTH RHS US#2 server
I get kicked and get to see "battleye not responding"
last time I saw it was more than X year(s) ago
If D3D errors. I'd say get rid of D3D
Or you could provide more details about that magic error maybe someone can find a better solution then
well just googling your error I came up with a steam discussion thread stating its likely a driver/GPU problem
All of my drivers are up to date ,hmm
Haven't you had this issue for months, now? 🤔
Yes...
go read the discussion yourself and see if theres anything helpful there
I tried to contact BI they didn't even respond
I play with 30-40 FPS , then in 10-15mins the game crashes or freezes
for D3D error
could be hardware problem
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
does not mean it could not be a driver/hardware issue
just something thats triggered in Arma
last post there (from cineafx ) > https://feedback.bistudio.com/T121613
@chrome merlin
Lemme guess: win 10?
btw the latest win 10 update was not bad, you can now alt tab without weirdnesses* 😄
@chrome merlin Try borrowing a GPU, swap it out and see if you have the same issue.
Does anyone have any idea why the throttle and flaps on aircraft (both jet and heli) would spontaniously change settings when entering the ESC menu?
Here I am at 0 throttle. I go to check my controls - i'm at 14 throttle. I leave the ESC menu and i'm back at 0 throttle.
ARMA pls.
Yeah that's a... Erm... "Feature"
🤤 🔫
It's very annoying, probably should complain about it more on the forum or feedback tracker 🤔
agreed
it's happened to me with considerable consistency
that's your problem right there... win 10 can't handle GPU driver micro dropouts and gives you the "device removed" error
so what shall I do?
buy win 8.1 oem for less than 20,- on ebay
and this is a problem in Win 10 only?
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!
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
BI actually, intentionally introduced the stupid "feature" from my understanding
Just like if you're in a plane, open the map, it'll adjust your speed and flaps
Did you ping me by accident? 😅
perhaps 👀
cant be helped if youve done something to get banned.

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😃)
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! 🙌
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
also i know some people includes unbinarized mission.sqm in description.ext
(afaik there is some troubles with that way)
you can't do that if it's binarized
yeah i know that
can't find post with those ^ troubles...(not here, another discord)
well... nvm 😃
anyone with an AVM router here? trying to host a MP game but its not working. Already opene the ports and enabled UPnP, but still, nothing goes through
well, what else should I say. All ports are opened, upnp is active, but no one can join
upnp never worked for me.
Can you post a screenshot of the opened ports?
Don't have access to my fritzbox cuz... relationship issues 🙄
didn't read it's you red :D
i should know you know your stuff
lol
"Arma server to client traffic" TCP and UDP? or UDP only?
UDP
Don't remember if I ever tried hosting a arma server locally behind that router. But never had any other problems with forwards
got my windows firewall disabled
I can try.
Causes more problems than it helps
Actually doesn't help at all. Besides on a windows server install that's open to the interweebz
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
yup
is your OSP contract from before 2013?
nope
damnit
2016
shit, no chance to revert back to IPv4 then i guess
strange and not the best, but have you tried hamachi for testing?
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.
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?
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?
local
Are all needed ports forwarded on your router?
I believe so, I've used port checker and it comes up saying ports are open for both TCP and UDP
Guessing doesn't help the cause. Make sure and check your router settings
I always get "UPNP failed" when trying to use TADST
but when I set it up manually it seems to "work"
Seems like you need to jump through too many hoops for it to be worth it
upnp never worked for me ¯_(ツ)_/¯
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"
maybe check your firewall rules
done that, disabled it too just for the sake of getting results
????
import button where? what are you trying to do? we cant see/know anything unless you explain your situtation
i was importing a html and the preset import button is greyed out and i dont know how to fix it
importing mods
so in the launcher
That I know nothing about. But maybe now that you have explained the problem some one knows whats going on.
https://gyazo.com/163e39e5d3cd9e9fa439dd5c798c7e22 click the link and look
look at the import button
???
I dont have answer for you. try restarting steam and the launcher
i did that before
then you got to wait if someone can help
@fringe salmon You will receive no help here for that as Star Wars mods are Banned.
why?
copyrights?
- Most important reason copyright/IP rights violations.
- All known Star Wars mods are ripped from other games.
- Even if they were 100% made from scratch, they’d still violate #1.
I though IP and copyrights violations rules applied only if you earn money out of them
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.
you're using mikero's tools, correct
Yea, EliteNess 5.53
a screenshot of the error would be helpful as well
that'd do it
solution == use pboProject
I will try that. Thanks for the help!
also further terrain quesiton can be dropped at #arma3_terrain
I need some help with my server (Again)
God knows what I've done now
If anyone can help me
^ If he offers money for it, it's a lie. I helped him last time.
^ Can't fix the issue so didnt get paid
The issue returned, no fixy no payie ¯_(ツ)_/¯
You litterally just turned off the key sync
Sure it worked
temp
We'll everyone can make up their own mind based on that. I'll go to bed o7 have fun
but not a perm fix
well don't expect to pay people to fix something thats falling apart
Fix my life plz
In trying to help another player solve a broken mission problem ( https://www.reddit.com/r/arma/comments/95qk36/requesting_helptips_regarding_retreating_ai_in/ ), I actually ended up with nearly the same problem.
Did the last update break the mission Tipping Point?
OP confirmed that we had the same experience; the CSAT invasion doesn't begin, the squad leader just follows the waypoints to the evac zone where no one is waiting.
That should go to the #arma3_feedback_tracker's website then @thorn swift
Duly noted
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? 
why isnt my Steam overlay not working in ARMA 3
sooo ahh anyone found a fix for win10+ objectbuilder?? this is becoming painfull real quick
Yes. Install win 7 or 8.
😦 i just reinstalled 10 haha
If I recall right using the DX draw mode in the viewports they should work better
other than that no solutions
is it likley to cause issues with the final product if working in dx mode?
yeah and can garantee ms wont bother to help in any way
ill give it a go all fails then back to 7 😦
well that you might need OB for
that and robs teaching me everything in OB so better stick with that for now
There’s a reason it’s called object “breaker”
No that was Addon Breaker ^^
I have the OB problem on Win8 too btw
I have memory breaker 😣
why isnt my Steam overlay not working in ARMA 3
Perfect copy-paste. Thanks.
Is it working in other games? Battleye maybe? Does the screenshot button work?
And that middle question?
Does Arma Launcher maybe tell you that battleye blocked the steam overlay?
where is it suppose to say it
I think there is a battleye or log button on the left side
Exactly there. It would display there if it blocked anything
But nothing there. So it's probably not battleye
keeping having issue where I get sent to desktop and arma goes black, only way to fix Is logging out pc and then it closes
david has nothing to do with TFAR
@fringe salmon Feel free to leave. Bye
dedmen on the other hand
someone told me to tell this
I think we got spammers incoming...
No we dont.
We were told to ask for help from USG
here
Literally they told us to come ehre and ask dwarden to fix tfr for mac
Suddenly, he probably feels less compelled to do what you want 🤔
And they told us to ask dedman or dwarden to fix TFR for mac
https://www.usgroleplay.com/ Yes. And I said PsiSyn.
You violating #rules
how
I dont understand what i'm breaking
Im just asking someone to fix TFR
So I could play on a server
@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.
Literally not from PsiSyn
Can someone please help ever since this 77th server crashed i cant play arma 3
It gives me Generic Battle eye error
Restarting does nothing
Have your tried verifying game cache
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?
@fringe salmon there was a cba update recently, did you update the server?
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?
stares at @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?
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.
hah, ok well, thinking out loud has helped with this issue thanks!
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?
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
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
hmm
well no, it must not be. because i've done it before with a different scenario, and now that's not working either
yeah
cuz they made changes to the map through the editor
and i just wanna explore
thats not exploring
sounds kinda like cheating
youre supposed to play teh mission
since life ppl are pretty much only ones obfuscating stuff
but youre still not supposed to open it up
do you reckon i should get an admin of the server to give me a copy?
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.
keeping having issue where I get sent to desktop and arma goes black, only way to fix Is logging out pc and then it closes
any ideas?
can someone help me with tfar?
@bitter drum Ask your question, don't ask to ask your question.
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.
Sounds like server is running beta version. Have you tried asking them?
yeah, thats the one that i have installed.
i've asked, but no one's answered yet
and that was yesterday.
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
You got a answer on your question on steam workshop
you are definetly running 0.9.12
Maybe you are running both
@bitter drum You updated / installed the Teamspeak plugin, too ?
That has nothing to do with the ingame warning about a different version being installed
Is this a new eden bug? https://i.imgur.com/sbWDpng.gifv
Hi
Im trying to start a dedicated server but when i try to start Arma3 server i get a log that say upnp failed
can anyone help me?
I sure there is no error before
Sorry for my english
Have a massive arma induced headache. Tried 2 different painkillers, hot&cold shower, fresh air and ice on my head to no avail. Please advise.
water, something salty and sleep
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
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).
