hey, have you ever had problem like: you have bunch of guys on server few of them re-log or quit and come back after 10 min or 20 and they can't see shit in general crate or take anything? im running mods

rain surge
#

yo, i need help, when i start up arma 3 it says Failed to initialize BattlEye Service: Generic Error, tried diffrent stuff have tried disabling antivirus uninstalling reinstall and delete the game and installed it nothing works, even did something in cmd.

#

i will try to restart if that works im mad

haughty tree
#

Not sure where to put this but I am trying to make a beret mod with the config I have attached, it shows in the virtual arsenal list but doesn't have a model/texture when you select it https://hastebin.com/rejecuqova.cpp

wanton shale
#

#arma3_config < better place for getting the right answers about the configs

haughty tree
#

Cheers!

livid oriole
#

hey i have a question cuz im dumb, can someone help?

uncut trellis
#

not if you dont ask the question

limber hull
#

hey can somebody help me out, pboproject won't crunch anything and when i press view outputs it sends me to an empty temp folder

quaint jewel
#

does the pboproject console say anything?

limber hull
#

it says file paths must/be/lower/case

#

yet again they are

#

all lowercase

quaint jewel
#

also lowercase in your configs?

#

I don't get why they must be lowercase.. In general they don't have to be

limber hull
#

Here Dedmen I have a screenshot of my errors

quaint jewel
#

Well you should grab your glasses then

#

New_Shoreham is NOT lowercase.

limber hull
#

you said in general they don't have to be

#

..

quaint jewel
#

yes.

#

But Mikeros tools do whatever they want

#

And if you want to pack using his tools you have to obey

#

also there is another error at the bottom that you probably shouldn't just ignore

limber hull
#

yeah i fixed that error, thank you. another one popping up now saying invalid file :/

#

dang tools

uncut trellis
#

in surface configs they need to be all lower case for them to work

#

not Mikeros madness, its Arma thing

quaint jewel
#

Maybe Mikero should explain why these specific names need to be lowercase in this specific case. instead of "MAKE EVERYTHING LOWERCASE!!!!111!11!"
Like.. How about "ERROR: in surface configs all paths need to be lowercase." ?
Educate people what's wrong. Instead of just telling them "You're doing it wrong!!!!"
¯_(ツ)_/¯

limber hull
#

the lowercase error has been resolved now. i'm getting an invalid file error yet again its in templatelibs and i got the .pbo for the mod

#

:/

quaint jewel
#

And... Is the file actually invalid or not? did you check?

uncut trellis
#

or the paths are messed up if its unpacked wrong

#

tip for the next time

uncut trellis
#

@quaint jewel dont remember if Mikero or anyone knows what the technical reason was why the surface configs needed to be lowercase but that is the case as they just do not work together otherwise.

quaint jewel
#

Yeah. That's good to know. It's just sad that the error message can't just tell you what the actual problem is

spark shale
#

So my publishing tool is in a frozen state with it still trying to connect to steam

#

I have re-installed both the tools and the game, and no luck :\

#

Is there any alternative to uploading my mod update?

minor lily
#

uhm, so i can't get an error message window to go away

uncut trellis
#

where and what does it say

minor lily
#

nvm i got it

normal cedar
#

keep getting an error message

#

addon cup_bohemia_config requires addon cup_ca_config

#

I have cup installed from the workshop so it should be up to date
and i was playing earlier without an issue

silk prism
#

Have you got all of its requirements. It may require another cup mod to run. If not try veryfying/repairing the mod

hoary jungle
#

I play on a server where task force radio is used and the majority of our playerbase can use it without a problem however some people are having the problem that they can talk for a few sentences then they just stop transmitting and when you look in teamspeak they are no longer in the channel and have to restart teamspeak, i was wondering if anyone else has had this problem before and if so how to fix it

fallow remnant
hoary jungle
#

but it doesnt do it for anyone else though

#

just a few people

uncut trellis
hoary jungle
#

we have all updated our teamspeaks to the latest patch

uncut trellis
#

well according to that it is teamspeaks issue

fallow remnant
#

then go back to not latest patch

hoary jungle
#

thats about 3.2.0 im currently on 3.2.1

uncut trellis
#

well it is possible they did not fix the problem

hoary jungle
#

Ok thanks

#

im probably an idiot but this has been bugging me for hours

#

ffs

#

xD

#

thanks anyway

fallow remnant
#

yeah stick with the old version until you get a go ahead from ACRE and/or TFAR

fast tide
#

ace rhs compat files outdated?

uncut trellis
#

where are you downloading them? and possibly, RHS got a big update not long ago

fast tide
#

just the workshop files for client, do you perhaps know if they added the compat files to the rhs mods

uncut trellis
#

probably not

#

I would guess they focus on their own development

fast tide
#

yikes thats gonna be some server issues

uncut trellis
#

or who were you talking about? I assumed the RHS crew

fast tide
#

yeah i was

#

guess i have to wait and see for a bit , thx for the info

uncut trellis
#

yeah I dont think the RHS crew have anything to do with thte compatibility mods

#

theyre independent projects

fringe salmon
#

any way i can use tfr on ts on mac

marble jewel
#

Hey guys, I've made two respawn points in the EDEN editor (respawn_west1 and respawn_west2 as variables). When I'm playing the mission in MP, there are four respawn points that come up (the two i made + NE of Ekali and near military. I only have two respawn points, anyone here that knows how I can fix this?

quaint jewel
#

@hoary jungle Like.. Use your eyes. 3.2.1 does that contain a 3.2? yes? It does? WOAH!
You experience the exact same symptoms as what's described there. And still doubt that it could be that problem? Man..

#

@fast tide no the RHS compats are not outdated.

#

@fringe salmon NO. I don't know why all of the sudden I get like 5 messages every day of people telling me to fix TFAR for mac

wanton shale
#

right click on your marker position > Log > Copy position to clipboard

//--- file: initPlayerLocal.sqf
private _pos = [player, <paste here your coordinates>, "Position name"] call BIS_fnc_addRespawnPosition;
```the same for second marker and xx marker, you can delete those respawn markers after that ^...
@marble jewel
#

and congrats, you just discovered the hidden feature with markers duplicates 😃

marble jewel
#

Haha yeah, the illustrious hidden feature 😄

#

So just to clarify, this is my first scenario, I'm to copy the location and make a .sqf file with those in the root mission folder?

wanton shale
#

yep

marble jewel
#

Thank you @wanton shale 😄

wanton shale
#

np

marble jewel
#

So I just tested it out, i made the file and entered the coordinates, but the respawn points doesnt come up in MP 😦

wanton shale
#

name of that file ?

marble jewel
#

initPlayerLocal.sqf

wanton shale
#

paste there your code

marble jewel
#

gotcha

glacial nova
wanton shale
#

did you tried allowGetIn or any other command to "unassign vehicle" before you kick them out ?

glacial nova
#

Yeah I am calling unassignVehicle

#

I also tried with leaveVehicle

trim stratus
#

Hey, one of my friends has this problem, when he joins a server, he can stays on it like ten secs, before getting kicked out of the game, with the reason : 'signature check timed out', we have been trying a lot of stuff to "fix" it during these last 5 days, anyone got a tip for that kind of situation? Thanks

fast tide
#

@quaint jewel im getting an error message about pbos being outdated

quaint jewel
#

update them then

#

I guess ACE compats?

fast tide
#

yeah did that several times

#

yes the ace compats

quaint jewel
#

where did you get them from?

fast tide
#

steam

quaint jewel
#

where exactly? links to the steam items?

fast tide
#

do i dm them ?

quaint jewel
#

no you post them here

fast tide
#

yeah gimme sec

quaint jewel
#

There are tons of unofficial outdated reuploads that look like they are the real thing

quaint jewel
#

yeah these are the official ones

#

did you try unsubscribing, deleting all files and then resubscribing?

#

probably Steam is just messing up

#

Are all of these shown as outdated?

fast tide
#

yeah did that

#

yeah

quaint jewel
#

I would actually never recommend steam workshop if you can get the files elsewhere. Too many problems

fast tide
#

thats the message i get

#

ok i'll delete and get try github

#

thank you for your time

quaint jewel
#

These are not the normal ace compats

fast tide
#

confused

quaint jewel
#

Okey no forget that

#

the 3 at the end confused me.. I don't know why that's there. I guess for the 3 in ACE3. But I don't see any practical purpose for it to exist. There are no RHS USF compats for any other ace version

fast tide
#

so just delte them than?

quaint jewel
#

Delete the steam ones yeah

fast tide
#

ok

#

thx again

worn glen
#

Hey. Has anyone here had a multiplayer bug where if a Zeus starts remote controlling while a player helicopter is slingloading, the sling suddenly detaches?

tropic yarrow
#

@worn glen I wouldn't call this a bug, as the unit controlling the sling releases controls. Which includes the sling and the stick.

worn glen
#

Nono, I mean as in the player loses his sling

#

It doesn't matter which unit is being remote controlled

#

The player loses the sling

tropic yarrow
#

Which player ?? Give me a scenario in which this occurs.

worn glen
#

Multiplayer game on our server

#

Player flying a ghosthawk slingloads a crate

tropic yarrow
#

No, please explain to me who what where why when

worn glen
#

Starts lfying it

#

That is what I am doing, Explaining how this happens

wise barn
#

Because zeus is taking over all conteolling. For that to work all controls are released and ended, and newly added to the remote player, in this case zeus.

worn glen
#

@wise barn Included those of player?

tropic yarrow
#

No, you are telling me what the player is doing

#

give me instructions to reproduce

wise barn
#

Yes

worn glen
#

patience.

#

That was what I am doing

tropic yarrow
#

No patience

worn glen
#

Multiplayer server with 2+ servers. (well our multiplayer server thus far)

wise barn
#

No bug, but engine limitation i'd guess

worn glen
#

One player is zeus

#

One player is helicopter pilot of helicopter of choice

#

Helicopter pilot slindloads a slingloadbale object of choice (so far happened with both crates and vics)

#

Helicopter pilot lifts said slingloadable object

#

Zeus remote controls an AI unit/ceases to remote control an AI unit (both situations work)

#

Slingloadble object detaches

tropic yarrow
#

Make a work around, add a curator EH and re attach evetything after entry

#

Easy peasy

wise barn
#

Like i said... engine limitation. All actions get canceled due control transfer. No bug

#

@tropic yarrow
Or that

worn glen
#

@tropic yarrow EH? I don't get the jargon

tropic yarrow
#

Event Handler

wise barn
#

e.g.: scrip modding

worn glen
#

Ah

tropic yarrow
#

@wise barn Well said, but for some they'd rather have something than be explained that it cannot be so

worn glen
#

So check if Zeus enters/leaves remote control via Event Handler, check if anyone inside a vehicle has anything slingloaded, get vehicle slingloading, get object being slingloaded, reattach sling via command?

tropic yarrow
#

Yessir

worn glen
#

Uff

#

I'll have to foward that to someone in my community better versend in scripting, sounds easy way to remove frames if done wrong.

wise barn
#

Welcome to arma hell

#

🤷

tropic yarrow
#

It may be a little janky as it might drop and then suddenly reattach. Possibly causing it to bounce or swing. That would be the case if the setter command doesn't already force the position when being attached. No, EH's are engine based iirc, plus everything you do inside the event hhandler should be a one time deal insteaf of a loop

fringe salmon
#

got this in my RPT, doesnt look right. A3 not found? Arma 3 | A3 | true | NOT FOUND |

quaint jewel
#

Looks correct to me

fringe salmon
#

ok, i can join but i get the swimming noise and black screen.

quaint jewel
#

look into your rpt

#

you are probably missing the terrain

fringe salmon
#

11:59:30 Can't find a mission collection / mission with template name: 'exile.altis', skipping to next mission.

#

ah, i see. ok thanks

quaint jewel
#

no...

#

That's not it.

#

That's probably from your server not finding the mission at startup

#

you need to look into your client rpt

fringe salmon
#

I see the issue, no mission file in here. thank you.

quaint jewel
#

@devout tangle #rules read them and stop violating them. Maybe someone will help you then

devout tangle
#

im sorry, im not sure wich of the rules i violated

#

i got pointed to here

quaint jewel
#

cross-posting

#

you posted the same thing in 3 channels now. If you move channels then please delete the old

devout tangle
#

im sorry,

#

may i repost it here if i delete it everwhere else ?

quaint jewel
#

yeah

devout tangle

Software Issue (?) - Audio Issue :
I have trouble where i cant hear people that are straight in front of me, only to the side of me , best hearing is straight out from the side , especially in 3rd person view

Headset: Logitech G933
Software for headset: Logitech gaming software
Windows 10

quaint jewel
#

Wait... USB headset?

devout tangle
#

nods

quaint jewel
#

oh no...

#

Arma has problems with USB headsets.
I never head about something like this but.... could be

#

Usually it's things like no sound, game doesn't start, game crashes, weird sound artifacts

devout tangle
#

someone have talked about 7.1 , but i have messed around with it, and still no diffrence

quaint jewel
#

Try not using a USB headset. Check if the error goes away with "normal" speakers/headphones

devout tangle
#

ugh, i only have this headset, luckily it does come with a cable, but its WAY to short

#

3,5 that is

#

its either my headset or my tv

wise barn
#

@devout tangle
win10 ?

devout tangle
#

nods

wise barn
#

problem solved

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

devout tangle
#

sighs

#

so your saying?

wise barn
#

invest 15-25,- for a win 8.1 on ebay

#

win10 creators-something update fucked up hard

devout tangle
#

has win10 fucked it up somehow?

#

oh

#

sigh

quaint jewel
#

Win 10 AND usb headset.
Man you are unlucky 😄
Now tell me you're running Teamspeak 3.2 with TFAR or ACRE too 😄

wise barn
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

devout tangle
#

Ts3 , yes but tfar? Acre?

wise barn
#

nvm

devout tangle
#

ts 3.2.1

placid token
#

The Task Force Radio and Advanced Combat Radio Environment mods are communications overhaul mods. They're great.

devout tangle
#

oh , not sure if we do them

placid token
#

(ACRE is totally best)

quaint jewel
#

Latest TS version is broken and freezes randomly if you run them :D
That would make you like the unluckiest person in this discord this month 😄

placid token
#

Anyway, if you use radio comms that don't involve the vanilla microphone icon, it's almost certainly one of those two.

devout tangle
#

oh , i know a friend that have had lots of ts problems, i can tell him about this

placid token
wise barn
#

but this will still not fix your win10 usb headset issue

devout tangle
#

that is true

#

so it IS my 7.1 on usb that creates issue
Yes, 7.1 Surround on USB causes issue, 7.1 on 3.5mm Jack (onboard sound) works fine. Only effects 64-Bit ARMA

fallow remnant
#

Can you not just run it in stereo?

mellow spear
#

I have Wireless USB headset on Latest Win10 with no problems

#

make sure your Windows audio settings are configured right for 7.1 Surround Sound and updated driver, I don't recommend using any software that tries to override default Windows Sound

devout tangle
#

My logitech "removes" windows way to enable/disable things like 7.1 and forces you over on their app

quaint jewel
#

@mellow spear I've heard of problems specifically about logitech headsets.
It was talked about fixes like installing the 32/64 bit of their software.
Might very well be only logitech usb headsets 🤔

mellow spear
#

7.1 enable/disable has to be handled by 3rd party app since Windows doesn't support that

wise barn
#

other headsets, too

mellow spear
#

but all it should do is change signal it's sending to Windows

#

I don't speak...whatever that is

devout tangle
#

norwegian ,

wise barn
#

KING OF THE NORTH, KING OF THE NORTH

devout tangle
#

but what you see is, where i normally would have done the 7.1 settings in windows, it asks me to start logitech

wise barn
#

sorry...

devout tangle
#

lol

mellow spear
#

Have you updated the logitech software?

devout tangle
#

nods

mellow spear
#

no idea then

#

Arma3 shouldn't be doing anything other then sending all this data through Windows

devout tangle
#

there are miscomunication between some 3party sound apps and Arma, is what im starting to believe , escecially usb ones

#

and noone wants to fix it

#

the work around is using a 3.5mm cable , but thats dull for a wireless headset

#

i mean while playing i dont need to move, but anytime else its so nice to just roam around freely

mellow spear
#

I had Logitech G930 before my corsair and never had a problem with Arma3

#

it could be something new with Win10

#

but I was using Win10

devout tangle
#

i heard something about a creator update fucking it up for alot of people

fallow remnant
#

Creator update fucked up the precedence of privacy settings related to the mic, at least. You have to enable global mic permissions from the privacy settings page, otherwise nothing can use it (not even the system itself).

devout tangle
#

privacy settings where? my headset works well everywhere else tho

mellow spear
#

generally privacy settings only apply to UWP apps of which Arma is not

fallow remnant
#

@mellow spear that is not true anymore - not for the mic at least

#

@devout tangle just the privacy settings in windows. the settings "app". but yeah if it's just arma then probably unrelated

mellow spear
#

really, because I'm not seeing option in privacy settings

fallow remnant
#

can't help that 😄

wise barn
#

must... resist... telling... people... that... there... is... google........

tropic yarrow
#

@wise barn Well,
you could tell them there is bing.
But bing isn't as helpful as google.

wise barn
#

who the hell is bing? never heard of her... /s

reef kraken
#

Help.when i join servers my game will have super fps drop.30 will be 10 and stuck for 2 seconds and then it will be 30 i only have this problem in a3.

#

Any advice?

mellow spear
#

@fallow remnant Desktop apps won’t appear in your Choose which apps can access your camera or Choose which apps can access your microphone lists and are not affected by the Allow apps to access your camera or Allow apps to access your microphone setting. To allow or block desktop apps, use the settings in those applications.

#

Arma3 is "Desktop" Application which makes my original statement correct, Win10 Privacy settings only apply to UWP

#

of which Arma3 is not

Hi, i have this really annoying problem atm. Steam threw a fit and is now redownloading 59gb of Workshop mods, the problem here is that they're already installed under !Workshop. Tried verifying game cache, twice. Cant even run the launcher to use local mods for playing because steam is "Updating arma". I really don't want to wait for it to download 59gb, when i already have them downloaded. Anyone know a fix?

quaint jewel
#

The fix is not using Steam

#

it does that from time to time

solemn birch
#

that sucks

solemn birch
#

found a way to bypass, open up the arma 3 install folder and just launch the arma3launcher.exe . If you just launch the "arma3.exe" you will launch unmodded. It will still resume download when you close the game - this is just for opening it

strong steeple
#

unsubscribe from all mods

#

then subscribe to the ones you want back

fallow remnant
#

@mellow spear m8 that's all cool and all, but post creators update the mic privacy setting overrides win32 stuff as well. You need to turn global access on, otherwise not even the system can use the mic. I'm not talking about per app control, i know that's only for the new whizzbang store apps.

balmy tide

I'm having problems getting -autoinit to work. Tried -autoInit as well. I've got Persistent=1 in my config file and i've verified the config file is read. I can join the server and when I select a unit, the server advances, so I know the server works. This is on linux btw.

#

@quaint jewel what a coincidence I just came here because I saw an answer of yours in Armadev Reddit

#

"Biggest performance boost with x64 you can do is not to mess with any of the performance startup switches. Uncheck them all and let Arma3 attempt to determine the best settings. They have done a ton of work and any -exthread -enableHT and such are just limiting the engine with little gain."

#

Does that apply to -maxmem -maxvram and -hugePages ? should I leave -malloc blank? I'm just using system so it should make no difference as it's the default

#

NVM it wasn't your answer, but I just read an answer of yours in other place...

quaint jewel
#

I'm literally almost everywhere 😄

#

not to mess with any of the performance startup switches. Uncheck them all and let Arma3 attempt to determine the best settings That's correct though.

stuck ether
#

It was in the bi forum perf thread xD

quaint jewel
#

-maxvram is the worst of them all. It either does nothing. Or it limits you to 2GB of VRAM. Even if you enter 8GB, it still limits you to 2GB. If you leave the parameter away Arma will autodetect and use what it can. It's just a dump parameter

#

-maxMem is only useful if you want to intentionally limit the game

#

-malloc could make a difference yes. There are currently some new allocators being tested in #perf_prof_branch channel

yo can somone helo me with my arma 3 every time i get on arma 3 it doesnt recgonize my profile and it thinks im a new player and when i try to make a new profile i cant change the name

desert isle
#

explain your issue in detail.
When did it start? What has changed? What steps have you taken, etc., etc.

quasi lynx
#

it started a couple of days ago and ive looked on youtube ive veryfired my arma 3 3 times ive reinstalled it 3 times and nothng as worked it works sometimes but rarely but then goes back to not recgonizing my prolife

#

idk what made it start happening but i want to end

quaint jewel
#

Sounds like your profile files are read-only or corrupted.
If Arma can't save your profile it can't remember that you are not new.

#

In your My Documents folder there is a Arma 3 folder with your profile inside it

quasi lynx
#

how do i check if my profles are corrupted

wise barn
#

First you check it your folders have write permission

quasi lynx
#

idk what that means at all im not a computer whiz

wise barn
#

No problem, that is what google is for

#

idk your os, so google is your best shot to look up how to set the read/write permissions for folders

quasi lynx
#

do you have team veiwr or soemthing

wise barn
#

No

#

Just try to find it yourself. It doesn't help If others solve your problems, b/c next time you'll end up exectly where you started. Here...

#

I mean that in your best interest btw

quasi lynx
#

well i dont know what to do so that doesnt help me at all

quaint jewel
#

Also please take more care about your writing. No one wants to invest time into helping you if you don't even want to invest time into stating your problems correctly

quasi lynx
#

i dont know how to fix it i dont know anything about computers thats my brothers line of work i just work mixing drinks in a bar

Maybe ask your brother then 🤷

@fallow remnant @quaint jewel @wise barn I'm giving the guy some help via PMS. I know how to change it from view to writing, if that's what the problem is. Although I'm not next to a computer, so I cannot find exactually where the profile file is located. I have managed to get him to the local files, any help from here would be greatly appreciated

quaint jewel
#

You just need to untick the read-only checkmark to make it writeable

#

And as I already wrote above. My Documents/Arma 3 folder is where the profile is at

wise barn
#

I cannot find exactually where the profile file is located
documents/arma 3

shell plume
#

Yeah have that part downpat. But he seems to have absolutely no files in his arma 3 documents, I'd assume this is the problem

wise barn
#

do a pc wide search for *.Arma3Profile files

quaint jewel
#

Maybe just delete the folder if it's readonly or something

shell plume
#

@wise barn will tell him to

#

@quaint jewel I'd assume his armas just redowloading itself every time he plays, then assume hes a new player because of that. Wouldn't have a clue why its undowloading itself though

uncut trellis
#

steam reinstall might be in order

shell plume
#

If Chris's search tip doesn't work I'll have him do that @uncut trellis

#

Thanks for the tips anyways. Have a great night guys!

Lately I've been having some performance issues with Arma and other things more generally that has started to get out of hand

#

I suspect it's time for an upgrade, but I'm not entirely positive yet what needs upgrading

#

Main symptom has been just how long it has been taking to start Arma, as well as some other games

#

I'll click launch and after the small loading splash window goes away, it sits on the desktop seemingly idle for a good five minutes or so before it starts the game

quaint jewel
#

HDD? Defragmented?

@livid relic it does that on startup. I see many others get the same result. Its not a problem

"seemingly idle for a good five minutes or so before it starts the game"
"Its not a problem"
What? I consider a game taking 5 minutes to launch a problem.

hello, so I'm trying to load into a dedicated server that's doing a mission on Isla Duala, when I try loading I get greeted with this error "You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted.sz_structures_a2openbuildings"

wise barn
#

You are missing a mod then

chrome kayak
#

So far I've tried resetting the game, verifying the integrity of the game, and having my friend pull the server back to the slotting menu

#

I'm not, I have all the mods required by the server

wise barn
#

You do, otherwise this msg would not appear

#

🤷

chrome kayak
#

Well I don't know what's missing then, I admin on the server so I have all the mods, and I'm joining from the launcher so it's setting up the mods anyways

wise barn
chrome kayak
#

hmmmmm that's weird

#

we don't use that mod

rich yoke
wise barn
#

also possible

chrome kayak
#

also don't use that mod, however we do use Chernarus 2035 but I had that loaded

#

I figured if anything it would be CUP terrains core

wise barn
#

your server admin should know what mods you use

#

and it's not cup related

chrome kayak
#

In that case then I'm missing something, but I have all the server required mods loaded

wise barn
#

ask the server admin for a complete list and DL links

chrome kayak
#

We only use steam mods

#

so it's easier for the community to find them and set them up

wise barn
#

got links?

chrome kayak
#

I'll send the workshop collection

wise barn
#

well, either one of the mods is not loading correctly, or got corrupted. maybe chernarus 2035, duala, or any other mod that uses buildings. not cup tho, since we have no such pbo called sz_structure

chrome kayak
#

Gotcha, so what would I do to fix the error? Uninstall them and then reinstall them?

wise barn
#

you could go on a manual search in your mod folders to rule out what mod it is exactly. open your mod folders and look for PBOs with a sz_ prefix

#

than delete this mod and redownload it

chrome kayak
#

Understood, will see what I can do

wise barn
#

it could also be, that the server admin just forgot to add it to the collection?

chrome kayak
#

I don't think so, it worked a couple days ago so I think that it might be on my end

#

Seems like the issue was Chernarus 2035

balmy tide
#

The mod missing appears on server no matter what. It has something to do with base game. If your server starts and you can join,ignore and move on

 this is the "Additional details" part of a recurring issue regarding my arma3 server program. It goes into an unresponsive state for reasons that i can only see as a memory access violation. This is the rpt line where it goes wrong: `Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 769A13C0` This is the full rpt (error occurs at line 2757): https://pastebin.com/HfxcuTWY Others have hypothesised that arma is running out of memory. I see in the resource monitor that it is only allocated 2gb. Can i force this up using -maxmem? Does `64-bit Windows + 32-bit game: 3071` still apply as a maximum amount of memory? does vram matter in a server instance

Does anyone know how to solve "Battleye Bad Service Version" ? I'm helping a friend, he already re-installed the game via steam, manually used the uninstall_battleye.bat and install_battleye.bat in the arma 3/battleye folder. This did not help.

any way to increase performance in KOTH infantry?

had disabled shadows but no luck

#

already playing on lowest

uncut trellis
#

lowest settings dont always mean best performance. What kind of fps do you get now?

charred wigeon
#

@uncut trellis usually i get 30-40 fps, sometimes higher, i dont play a lot of multiplayer, only with friend zeus or liberation, so in liberation when there is a lot of A.I. i start getting freezes, but probably that's because of the scripts

#

i also play somewhere half view distance and object view distance

uncut trellis
#

whats half view distance?

desert isle
#

middle of the slider maybe?

charred wigeon
#

yes, middle

quaint jewel
#

already playing on lowest Very bad idea. Setting your settings to low moves a lot of stuff from the GPU to the CPU

#

and you are already CPU bottlenecked

#

you want to move as much as you can over to your GPU

#

@quaint jewel i played on standart

#

before

usually i get 30-40 fps That sounds awesome... I barely get 30

that's in altis/stratis/malden

in tanoa it goes lower

#

im pretty happy with my current performance though

#

but if i set any graphic settings to medium my fps drops

desert isle
#

then dont do that

#

Personally, I disable PiP

#

its gives me a consistent +10fps

charred wigeon
#

@desert isle yeah it's off

uncut trellis
#

middle of the slider would be 6km viewdistance?

#

thats a lot if you dont have high end machine

charred wigeon
#

@uncut trellis well it's somewhere around half

#

the object is a bit smaller

uncut trellis
#

have you tested with lower view distances?

#

and do you have a high end machine?

charred wigeon
#

@uncut trellis no, view distance doesnt affect the performance for me a lot unless i crank it up really high

native iris

@charred wigeon Normally it should

uncut trellis

you could post your hardware specs

maybe you just dont have enough power to run Arma any better

worthy mason
#

@placid token I'm not able to click to verify integrity of game files

placid token
#

@worthy mason then reinstalling seems like a good idea. When you moved your ArmA folder, did you move it properly through Move Install Folder in the properties window? Not doing that might have caused this.

I'm having trouble trying to get the Antistasi mission working with ACE, but with the medical system disabled. I used addon options to disable all the medical system and menu, and apparently according to the game, if it doesnt detect the medical system as active it'll revert to a default revive system, but when i get shot it's an immediate death instead of a revive system. It's kind of annoying cause I want to use every ACE feature, except the medical system, but it refuses to work correctly.
If it affects this issue, I'd also like to clarify that i'm using the RHS mods + patches for ACE with this mod setup

#

Anyone have experience with this?

fringe salmon
#

I don't know the detection works but there is an antistasi compatible ACE (wotp_ace3) that you can use that disables the bits that it doesn't work with. Having the actual PBOs removed as it does may be the only way to make it work.

@fringe salmon what you need to do is make a .bat file . Then copy and paste what you have from your start up Parameters on the first line only . If you need further help let me know or I can just give you the .bat file I use

What does it exactly mean when in your server browser window the mod in the modlist has a red dot as opposed to green? (mod is present locally)

Issue solved, solution: remove all the files from inside the @Mod directory and reupload with all lowercase for Linux server. Dot is now green. Red dot was probably because some leftover files which caused files/hash inconsistency

@charred wigeon that defeats the purpose. My OS is running on it so that my hdd can focus on everything else

Heres the list of the mods im running

I see CUP Terrains CWA and Maps.. Where is CUP Terrains Core?

fringe salmon
#

🤦 Man Im Dumb, Forgot to add that to the start line thanks

fringe salmon

Why not just use the mod loader in the launcher

@fringe salmon This is probably on a server lol

Guys - anyone any idea why the AI in vehicles deploy into wedge despite having everything selected for column? They set off in column (2 vics) then after the first bend, they switch to Wedge. This then continues to happen even after i switch them back with zeus before eventually staying in column. AI drivers a grouped together and have disabled Target an Autocombat. Also, its an empty map, no target actually making them aware that they're being engaged

dont generate shadows on lightmap

#

and also thse points are pooped if they cast that much shadow

#

in general you should render just a little hint of shadow on the satellite texture

#

if any at all

#

because its a static shadow that does not look good when the in game sun moves

#

also why do you have so old version of L3DT? 😄 Should always use the latest one to benefit from fixes

#

@fringe salmon

thx

Trying to put logged Admin Zeus into a multiplayer mission . When the server loads we get an error that doesn't allow the server to fully run. Followed Set Owner to #adminLogged
Uncheck Forced Interface to set up a admin Zeus. The error we get is No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgPatches/a3rp_NoahPierce_Uniforms.units'. Any suggestions? We don't know where this file is and don't have anyone with these uniforms that we can find.

gritty crypt
#

You probably copied over a mission sqm/sqf without copying the missions dependencies. That said "a3rp" is the Arma 3 Roleplay server, and it kindddaaaaaa sounds like you might be trying to mess with their mission file.

lime sapphire
#

We built our own, I'm wondering if one of the mods we got off the workshop has their stuff in it.

#

Nothing seems to break until Zues is put in though.

fringe salmon
#

You probably copied over a mission sqm/sqf without copying the missions dependencies.
don't see how this would be possible considering dependencies are listed and referenced from the mission.sqm

quaint jewel
#

without using the right mods he probably meant

fringe salmon
#

ah

#

if he wasn't using the right mods then there would likely be a dependency error and the mission would probably fail to load

quaint jewel
#

Stealing the mission but not stealing the right mods

lime sapphire
#

First off there is no stealing, we built our own mission, we used some mods off the steam workshop as they were open source

fringe salmon
#

built your own mission but still having missing files hmmmmmmmmmmmm

quaint jewel
#

a3rp_NoahPierce_Uniforms that mod is broken. Remove it.

fringe salmon
#

@lime sapphire what happens when you try to load in the 3den editor

lime sapphire
#

it loads there fine

tropic yarrow
#

Figures it's more lifer stuff.

lime sapphire
#

when I try to save the Zeus it gives that error as well. I can't find where these a3rp files are to remove the mod

quaint jewel
#

It should be called a3rp_NoahPierce_Uniforms.pbo

#

I don't understand these people that give their pbo's completely different names vs their CfgPatches entry

lime sapphire
#

The pbo doesn't exist with that name. I tried looking. I have no a3rp pbo at all

quaint jewel
#

You should know what stuff you have in your modpack I'd say

lime sapphire
#

trouble shooting now and it looks like I found the issue is with the map

#

someone attached mods to the map file

tropic yarrow
#

Map? you mean scenario?

lime sapphire
#

We are using a community map that had a3rp stuff attached to it on download or at least some props they loaded in from the pack

#

vanilla map no issues.

quaint jewel
#

so you have a3rp stuff? But you said I have no a3rp pbo at all

lime sapphire
#

no pbo showing for it. But changing the map and dropping the same set up we had on that map the error goes away

quaint jewel
#

Did you ask the author of that map?

lime sapphire
#

We tried messaging them. Haven't heard back it's been a couple weeks. Assuming he's no longer around. We will move on. Sorry to bug but I was getting burned out looking. Finally with out thinking about the a3rp being a rp mod someone sparked my mind and figured I'd give a go at map change.

what does the event log says?

pretty sure i got the problem since BI tools has code that the MV C++ 2005 version witch i do not have

The following software packages need to be installed on your computer before running Arma 3 (these packages are normally installed by the Steam client when running Arma 3 for the first time).

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime 2010 x86*
Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2013 (x86 - vcredist_x86.exe)*

#

sure arma......

uncut trellis
#

odd troubles for sure

hardy frigate
#

well RIP that didnt work

#

fucking garbage tools lawl

uncut trellis
#

you could try the PMC way, but cant be certain it would do any difference as you problem seems to be more with the actual steam/windows install than the tool/development environment setup

desert isle
#

In this "tutorial" I will assume that you already have the tools installed (this step won't be explained here) and your directory mapping is the following:

#

A tutorial from 2016 I may add.

bronze ocean
#

does anyone know why the mission get stuck with the client sometimes?

#

i mean, the pbo

#

you need to restart the game to be able to replace the new pbo version

civic cairn
#

Arma marks the file as read-only and doesn't properly release the lock when you leave the mission

#

It's been a thing for years now

Whenever I turn the V-44 blackfish on with the scroll wheel, the throttle goes straight to 100%

i have problems with controls

in the tutorial

when i try to switch to alternate optic it won't work

#

i press left control and rmb at the same time but nothing happens

bronze ocean
#

@civic cairn thx mate for the info

#

@fringe salmon wich optic are you using?

marsh hornet
#

so my problem with object builder got drowned :C

uncut trellis
#

then you ask again

marsh hornet
uncut trellis
#

could be problem with your windows

#

if youve tried reainstalling the tools etc already

marsh hornet
#

tried that yep

#

i also tried the stuff from PMC

#

didnt work

uncut trellis
#

id say its something wrong with your windows

#

do you run it from the exe or the steam arma tools

marsh hornet
#

tried both

#

none of them works

uncut trellis
#

theres also a log file in the OB install folder

#

you could see if theres any errors

could be your tools install is still fubared and youve not done it right

Hey, im trying to load my mods on my dedicated server but its not working, I tried a parameter file, and aditionally the "-mod=@mod;@mod2" and so on, but nothing is working

fringe salmon
#

@jovial spindle there’s also the -servermod= as well if im not mistaken.

fringe salmon
#

@CUP_Terrains_Maps-servermod=@ExileServer;@fringe salmonXAI; e.g.

untold fractal
#

-servermod= is for server mods these aren't required by the client.

fringe salmon
#

Jared: Hey, im trying to load my mods on my dedicated server but its not working,

untold fractal
#

Yea but that doesn't mean that the mods should only be available on the server.

ExileServer isnt required by the client....

Neither is A3XAI

He was vague. Just trying to give an example.

i wanted to try arma today after a break and now my arma just freezes randomly

#

im playing on exile and it just freezes at some point, I can still hear sounds but nothing else

uncut trellis
#

usb headseat and win 10?

timid fiber
#

windows 10

#

and usb headset

#

how u knew lol

uncut trellis
#

because similar sounding issues have been popping up from time to time and the culprit has been the usb headset. try without it to see if it happens to be it

timid fiber
#

yeah i just switched it, i plugged it in my audio ports

#

now i cant hear arma 3 sounds anymore....

quaint jewel
#

need to restart game when changing audio device

timid fiber
#

ive restarted it already

fringe salmon
#

Do you get Windows sound at all? May need to change the audio device windows is outputting too to get sound

yeah i figured it out already, so much better sound and easier with usb but life is what it is

ok im trying to update one of my mods and get this error

fringe salmon
#

I know getting rid of stutters means to literally get a SSD to run ArmA on, but how do I reduce them? I play the game at high settings: 60 fps outside cities, 45 fps inside cities pretty decent, yet I've got massive stutters sometimes

charred wigeon
#

@fringe salmon CPU is trash

fallow remnant
#

How do you know that?

#

There is no direct connection between stuttering and the CPU

#

ShadowNG it's usually storage/RAM related

#

You can reduce some settings like terrain and textures to medium

#

Might help

fringe salmon
#

@charred wigeon this trash cpu runs 4km distance for both air, foot and vehicle on 60 fps while the GPU is doing its work at high settings

#

stop trash talking

#

@fringe salmon next time. read #rules before you violate them again 😉

fringe salmon
#

wait, which one did I violate again?

#

by posting in three text channels, yes I admit and I acknowledge that, wont happen again.

#

but did I do anything else? @quaint jewel

quaint jewel
#

Nothing else. Just that one. 3 channels? OwO I only saw 2

quaint jewel
#

I'd have already swung the hammer at that one

fringe salmon
#

seriously?

#

i know him for over 1 year

#

what's wrong with talking with a bud?

desert isle
#

That's what PM/DM is for. In public, its a discriminatory slur. One that violates Discords rules as a whole.

fringe salmon
#

Look, I would understand if I used hate speech towards him as friends, because that would annoy someone else outside the conversation.

#

But in this situation, its pointless

desert isle
#

It is classified as hate speech by Discord, not just here.

quaint jewel
#

if I used hate speech towards him as friends, because that would annoy someone else outside the conversation. that's what you did tho 😄

#

not hate speech if it's true 😄

desert isle
#

not hate speech

fringe salmon
#

i hope you're kidding because im laughing right now

#

okay, let me be an asshole: I hate being called gay, how that come now?

desert isle
#

Its literally the "G" in LGBT

fringe salmon
#

this is being took so far, I'm not gonna argue though, I'm sorry again in this situation

#

yet saying that you should have banned me is way too far just saying

quaint jewel
#

Who said that? I can't see it ^^

fringe salmon
#

next time we'll take it in private to keep it SFW

#
DedmenToday at 4:54 PM
I'd have already swung the hammer at that one
desert isle
#

or just follow the rules

#

the rules are easier to follow

quaint jewel
#

Never told anyone to ban you.
Just said i would've banned you. Not said that anybody should do anything

fringe salmon
#

I didn't know 'fag' towards a friend is called as hate speech. Feels like you guys are against me while I'm the one that always tries to be on your side as long I never want to appeal as a jerk

I'll keep it civil since now

@fringe salmon the cpu is doing the calculations of all thr A.I. shit happening, and everything else that has nothing to do with GPU. Also the graphics are maintained by GPU

fringe salmon
#

Does anybody know why my Object builder doesnt want to work: Ok so i open ArmA 3 tools and i try to open object builder but it doesnt want to open it just shuts down my arma 3 tools

#

any tips of what i can do?

quaint jewel
#

have you tried opening it directly, manually?

#

and not over the tools choose UI thingy

uncut trellis
fringe salmon
#

yep

#

tried it several times

uncut trellis
#

I would suggest you follow these steps to set up the tools

fringe salmon
#

aight will do

#

ok i got it to work thank you @quaint jewel and @uncut trellis

fringe salmon
#

Oh god, what have I started

desert isle
#

yup

fringe salmon
#

Guys, might need a bit assistance over here: which video settings are fully onto CPU's work so I can know to lower them as my CPU isn't great

fallow remnant
#

object quality

#

object view distance

fringe salmon
#

nothing regarding graphics such as shadows? @fallow remnant

#

sorry, I'm really not into those

fallow remnant
#

i've heard that if you turn them down low then they become CPU dependent

#

but otherwise not

#

oh, and particles are CPU dependent too

fringe salmon
#

good to know, because I'm getting a bottleneck sometimes

#

with a gtx 1060 6gb and a i5-4590

fallow remnant
#

yeah that's kinda unavoidable.

#

overclock it to 4.5 GHz, should help 😄

#

oh wait, it's a non-K

#

nvm

fringe salmon
#

so what graphic settings i should turn up to make my GPU being more stressed? everything except object quality, object view distance and particles?

fallow remnant
#

Yeah

fringe salmon
#

by object quality you mean texture? or there's actually something called object quality

fallow remnant
#

yeah it's called "objects" or something

#

Texture hits memory

#

(GPU's memory, iirc)

#

(so you should be fine there, but it may result in more reads from the disk)

fringe salmon
#

well I got 6gb vram

#

its pretty fine

fallow remnant
#

I think ideally let it auto-detect settings and adjust from there

fringe salmon
#

alright 😛 also, is there anyway to make it load everything as I join the server except loading as I advance?

#

because I would prefer like 1 min of lag rather stutter while playing

fallow remnant
#

not that i know of

#

it's an engine level thing

#

you could try enabling large memory pages from the launcher settings

#

but yeah, get an SSD

fringe salmon
#

already getting one but im just saving to buy a 512 gb one

#

so i can use it for more things

#

again, I don't have any problems right now, its fully playable and its fully enjoyable, just asking if i can improve my performance

#

Thank you for your help

fallow remnant
#

cheers 😄

blissful bramble
#

BIS added GPU shadowbuffer to the low setting too. It no longer switches entirely to CPU

fallow remnant
#

ooh. that's good to know, thanks!

fringe salmon
#

hello once again, does anybody know what do to with this problem?

tropic yarrow
#

Yes, your source file is not a subdirectory of your project folder

#

place it in your project folder

#

It's pretty self explanatory

fringe salmon
#

but i did it

#

and nothing it still gives me the same issue.

tropic yarrow
#

Then, it is seriously not a sub directory of your project folder What is your project folder path and your source file path?

fringe salmon
#

it was something within the settings thanks @tropic yarrow that helped.

#

is it normal that Zeus stops working when the dead body of its owner gets deleted?

#

when im in as Zeus, respawn, and delete my body, it kicks me from the interface and wont let me back in

#

that is apparently when i host a mission locally in MP

wise barn
#

@fringe salmon
Easy solution: use mikero's tools

median gyro
#

why is it i get kicked from every game online that I join?

wise barn
#

Nobody likes you
JK

#

kicked for what? What's the msg?

median gyro
#

It just says that ive been kicked, ive tried multiple rooms and get the same message

#

I only have the basic game dont know if that plays a role.

wise barn
#

Vanilla or modded servers?

fringe salmon
#

might be trying to join tanoa maps without apex

median gyro
#

vanilla I believe, ive tried without battle eye and all makes me really sad cause I grew up with operation flash point and finally have a nice rig

wise barn
#

Ok, If you have no mods loaded, try to join an offical bohemia server like a zeus server.

rustic tusk
#

give us a screenshot of a server before you join it

#

that would probably give us the answer instantly

wise barn
#

median gyro
#

I appreciate it, Ill have to nab it when I get home! most of the time though its just a message saying ive been kicked.

#

internet had me looking at checking my signature

rustic tusk
#

probably tanoa or trying to join a exile server

median gyro
#

I made it into the lobby of a popular life server and after selecting a faction was kicked shortly after

#

when it comes to joining servers with mods is there a way to selected the correct mods easily before joining?

rustic tusk
#

join via launcher; it'll do it automatically

median gyro
#

Hmmm, i dont get whats wrong then, I was starting to think that was my issue.

#

anyway ill have to report back to you all when I get to my rig. Thanks to all who took the time to read that over!

timid fiber
#

guys i need help

#

battle eye kicks me for "bad packet"

wanton shale
#

corrupted files, bad signatures, hacks... < make sure you don't have those issues

timid fiber
#

how do i fix those?

#

verify game files?

wanton shale
#

yep / update mods

timid fiber
#

oki thx:)

#

and also cant hear arma sounds:/

#

arma is so weird, i dont have time to verify game files every day

#

i love and hate this game

dreamy canopy
#

yeah, ask the people who followed the white bunny into the rabbit hole of scripting

fringe salmon
#

guys be careful if you cant join a server, sometimes your antivirus can interfer with battleye

#

if you have anything else than windows defender try disabling your antivirus before u try again

timid fiber
#

now i switched from usb headset to regular and everytime i load into arma sound from my headset disappears for a moment then it come back but cant hear arma sound

fringe salmon
#

Hey guys. I'm encountering the error 0xC0000005 - ACCESS_VIOLATION when opening ArmA 3 now. And it is incredibly slow. Is it to do with the ArmA3Sync I just installed or nah

#

I also had to install a version of Java to run the ArmA3Sync

desert isle
#

USB headsets are notorious for not playing well will Arma.

dreamy canopy
#

does someone have an answer to my earlier question? Is it normal that i get kicked from zeus when the zeus owner´s body gets deleted?

#

in a locally hosted MP mission

edgy zephyr
#

@dreamy canopy when ever I’ve been in Zeus, if my players body is damaged then the colour fade happens in Zeus, and if I get killed/enter respawn then it pulls me from Zeus.
So I expect it’s the same if you delete the players body.
Best bet is to make your player body and move it somewhere out the way of the action

dreamy canopy
#

ok thanks

#

seems to be the removal ov the body. i suppose in your case there may be a cleanup function that deletes your body right after you die then?

#

because i dont have the issue on respawn, just when the body is deleted by script or manually or by the vanilla cleanup

edgy zephyr
#

probably, although if im zeusing i tend to move myself away from danger

dreamy canopy
#

yeah its an issue only when i play alone and do random stuff

timid fiber
#

@desert isle ive played arma with usb headset for 700 hours and 2 days ago these weird problems started

desert isle
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Are you sure there weren't updates?

#

I'm not saying your problems are directly related to your usb headphones, but anyone who has been here awhile is quite aware of the issues they cause.

wise barn
#

Win10+USB headset = no good

edgy zephyr
#

My wireless usb headsets been fine for my 600 hours

civic cairn
#

And now it may very well not be fine

#

Because that's how these things work
