#

One weird thing that I have always noticed (and is not a problem here because one server with this issue is fine and the other is not), is that if I have no mods other than the CUPs then they are all green. As mods are added, first vehicles then maps turns red. Can still join though... That happens as mods are added on the server without the client being restarted. Just an FYI

dire fog Mar 4, 2019, 9:52 PM

#

The initial checks for mod compatibility are simplified because of their amount needed by the server browser. Not sure if this was made with expectations of server changing its modset.

#

The "session lost" does not necessarily have to be related to the mod verification.

delicate elm Mar 4, 2019, 9:53 PM

#

Of course I also have the other issue that Steam cannot match the server mods on my working server due to the unfortunately "server did not transmit all information" issue - which is a little annoying

mighty pier Mar 4, 2019, 9:53 PM

#

I haven't had a problem all night and updated the servers within the hour of release. Have players in all three servers, no problem.
Just had one player report session lost issue since he updated.
My point is, could this be client related in any way?

delicate elm Mar 4, 2019, 9:54 PM

#

Changes to the mod list let me in though. Replicatable. Verified cache during testing. Those of us having issues have had all users unable to connect @mighty pier As oukej said, you get session lost even without this particular issue

dire fog Mar 4, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

Setting verifySignatures=0 helps on all accounts?

delicate elm Mar 4, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

Yes

mighty pier Mar 4, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

But, just the one client..... All night. Seems odd....

Hello everyone. I'm trying to host a mission that I made for me and my friends, but when I select the mission it is in green text - why is this?

delicate elm Mar 4, 2019, 9:56 PM

#

The Old Man hasn't had issues either... One of my servers runs with EM while if I add it to the other prod ARMA3 one no one can connect... more happening here than just sig verification I'd think @mighty pier @dire fog

dire fog Mar 4, 2019, 9:57 PM

#

@delicate elm can you point me to ur servers pls?

delicate elm Mar 4, 2019, 10:00 PM

#

Sure. See PM

Has anyone who is getting issues tried disabling Battleye but keep Sig verification on?

glad kite Mar 4, 2019, 10:12 PM

#

Hello all, I'm having similar problems as mentioned above, since the 1.90 update when I try to log onto @mighty pier GOGS Altis exile server, I just get autorejected with a "Session lost" notification. I played earlier today before the download and everything was fine.

#

Any ideas what is causing it?

uncut trellis Mar 4, 2019, 10:13 PM

#

read above

#

its being looked into

delicate elm Mar 4, 2019, 10:14 PM

#

No, but I will in a short while @weak bramble Nothing else to do 😉

knotty mist Mar 4, 2019, 10:22 PM

#

Currently getting the session lost issue, removed all mods and keys. except the a3.bikey. Still get it. Not an issue if i set verifySignatures=0

delicate elm Mar 4, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

Turned off BE on server and client. No effect. Minimal mod list, Epoch, CBA_A3 and EM

#

Well fuck (pardon my French)... Copied over the EM folder from my working server and it works... Both were downloaded with SteamCMD, both worked until the 1.90 update... So, verify all the mods on the servers that don't work folks... @dire fog @fading cloak Weird though... Enhanced Movement was working perfectly on both servers until this morning

#

Broken server's EM was downloaded via SteamCMD quite a while before the working server was a gleam in my eye... odd. Thanks for all the help from everyone here. Will be seeing what happens when I add all the mods back

dire fog Mar 4, 2019, 10:53 PM

#

Glad to hear that! Thanks a lot for tirelessly trying out the variables!

delicate elm Mar 4, 2019, 10:54 PM

#

I should perhaps have tried that earlier. It really made no sense that one worked and the other did not. Weird though that the mod was working fine on both. I have the mod folders from the broken and good if you'd like to take a look?

dire fog Mar 4, 2019, 10:54 PM

#

Yes please

fading cloak Mar 4, 2019, 11:12 PM

#

Thanks guys!

delicate elm Mar 4, 2019, 11:14 PM

#

So anyone having this issue since 1.90 should probably just SteamCMD all their mods down again unless they know which particular mod is causing the issue

brave ibex Mar 4, 2019, 11:50 PM

hi guys, i have a problem since the new update, i have a dedicated server running, and it was working, but after the update the server loads the mission, you can go to the slot, but, you cann't get in game, it still on loading screen.... triyed changing mission and nothing works...

what do the RPTs say?
(server and local)

well.. i just have this error: 0:37:46 SteamAPI initialization failed. Steam features won't be accessible!

delicate elm Mar 4, 2019, 11:57 PM

#

That is a standard error message that can be ignored... Immediately after that the server should start loading mods though

brave ibex Mar 4, 2019, 11:58 PM

#

yea but.. it still like 3 hours and nobody from my friend cann't join on it.. their still on load screen for ever :/ and before the update, it was ok.

edgy lichen Mar 5, 2019, 12:00 AM

#

well when in doubt erase everything and start over from start

dire fog Mar 5, 2019, 12:01 AM

#

You can all try removing cache.ch file from the root of Arma 3 or Arma 3 Server.

It will take some time to regenerate the file the first next time when u run the game, count with that. With large modsets it can take minutes.

Pls report back if that helped

brave ibex Mar 5, 2019, 12:11 AM

#

not working for me :/ just still on the load screen

fading pilot Mar 5, 2019, 12:11 AM

I'm having issues with the server freezing on startup, cache_lock is generated however it stays at 0 KB

brave ibex Mar 5, 2019, 12:14 AM

#

well, if i load the mission hosting or singleplayer, it works, but if i get to the dedicated doesn't work.... i'm using nitrado server... @dire fog i had this problems after updates in olders updates... but the first time with dedicated... and well...

dire fog Mar 5, 2019, 12:20 AM

#

check if there are no R/W restrictions or file lock by another program / instance (issues with running several A3 instances at the same time were fixed however0

Arma updates are a mess when it comes to mods...

uncut trellis Mar 5, 2019, 1:39 AM

#

it is the nature of mods. they must adapt to changes

#

or become obsolete

spark shale Mar 5, 2019, 5:23 AM

#

So tried deleting the chach no luck

#

I don't have a CMD for all the mods, if I manually update them all would that count for the same?

quaint jewel Mar 5, 2019, 7:29 AM

#

@tawny girder it's green because you made it in editor and are launching it directly from the source files, instead of from a mission pbo.

@delicate elm do you have a copy of that broken EM version maybe? Could you send me broken and working one so that I can look into the differences?

strong steeple Mar 5, 2019, 10:55 AM

#

Is it just me or cant you look through the driver's window in the Marid anymore? The view window looks blocked off

#

Turning out looks like clipping through the textures

hello, is there anything new about the sig verification problems?

wise barn Mar 5, 2019, 12:31 PM

#

Yes, it is being worked on

fading cloak Mar 5, 2019, 12:42 PM

#

We are currently investigating the issue.
Please try to remove cache.ch from your arma 3, or arma 3 server root.
Also if you are running a public non-passworded server, please refrain from disabling signature checks. Doing this will leave your server quite vulnerable.

crisp cove Mar 5, 2019, 12:57 PM

#

removing cache.ch on both client and server has no effect just recreates it byte perfect as the one i removed

Has anyone who is getting issues tried disabling Battleye but keep Sig verification on?

Turning Battleye off doesn't fix the issue of "session lost". Only turning verify signatures = 0 lets players join.

Same 'session lost' issue on our server since the I updated via SteamCMD this morning. We run addons, sigs=2 no BE. Deleted cache.ch, rebuilt. Same issue. Nothing related in the server or client rpt's. As seems to be the case, I've temporally disabled sig checking on our server so we can at least join until a fix is pushed out.

delicate elm Mar 5, 2019, 3:23 PM

#

If you don't have too many mods then try reinstalling each with SteamCMD. I was able to get one of my servers back by doing that - caught a mod that worked fine with pre-1.90 ARMA but borked after the update. Was odd, but worked

latent gust Mar 5, 2019, 3:24 PM

#

We run far too many!

delicate elm Mar 5, 2019, 3:24 PM

I know what you mean. That server has 15. Luckily the server with 22 worked okay

Looking through my RPT, I'm noticing the same thing, even though we don't keysign.

@strong steeple @weak bramble - can't repro the Marid issue. What's the steps? Place Marid in the Editor - player as driver - preview?

dire fog Mar 5, 2019, 4:28 PM

#

Seems like the deprecated original Marid - without interiors, and 3men crew. (hidden from Eden editor since Tanks DLC).

For backwards compat. it should still work though - at least if you go to the optics.

#

O_APC_Wheeled_02_rcws_v2_F is the actual one.

weak bramble Mar 5, 2019, 4:30 PM

#

it's the new interiors since Tanks DLC, classname O_APC_Wheeled_02_rcws_F
so it needs to be changed for the V2 version?

dire fog Mar 5, 2019, 4:31 PM

#

If possible - yes. But change shouldn't be required (in a way that you should still be able to use it as the old, interior-less, driver+gunner+commander Marid version).
Not sure if this is a new thing or it's been the behavior of the old Marid since Tanks DLC.

weak bramble Mar 5, 2019, 4:32 PM

#

Not a big issue to change model from my side, will check the V2 and see if it works as intended

cold reef Mar 5, 2019, 6:02 PM

#

how do you troubleshoot an infinite loading screen on a server due to mods

#

im not seeing any errors on the server but i think it locks it up as it doesn't respond to ctrl-c

desert isle Mar 5, 2019, 6:02 PM

#

Remove all mods and try adding them back and testing one by one.

cold reef Mar 5, 2019, 6:03 PM

#

.. yea ok, im overthinking it lol thanks

quaint jewel Mar 5, 2019, 6:08 PM

#

You hook the postInit part of initFunctions and log when every postInit script starts/ends.
Then just look which script starts, but doesn't end.

#

Or.. Are you running MCC? @cold reef

cold reef Mar 5, 2019, 6:08 PM

#

no, trying to start a server with that ifa3 mod

#

but obviously a new major patch was released right after I installed the server

#

so now i dunno if its something with the new patch or the mods

#

but it worked with vanilla so thats a start

#

theres also that new security thing that is supposed to slow down a first launch, but it doesnt mention by how much

quaint jewel Mar 5, 2019, 6:14 PM

#

first launch != loading screen

#

security thing cache is generated when you start the game.
Not after you join a server

#

sounds like you have some postInit script not finishing.

cold reef Mar 5, 2019, 6:14 PM

#

it stops after the person has logged in and a version message

#

ok, apparently its cup_core

quaint jewel Mar 5, 2019, 7:22 PM

#

I doubt that. That would've been noticed earlier. Unless a different mod causes a bug in CUP such that only the combination causes it

Hello everyone. good night. I always played 'arma'2-3 dayz etc, always' 2009 ... I think ... but this time I stopped for a year and a half in the 3rd gun and I do not remember 2 keys .... by default is complicated the settings for who plays with wasd etc ... I am old guard ehhe, i play with the arrows and all buttons next ... I would appreciate if someone sent me 2 screens of the "game options" to know where to configure the key to change grenades and another to see the names "of players, for example in mod gun 3 king of the hill" I see blue, green or red frames, but I did not find to see the names ... thanks .... I am Portuguese, but I have the game in French ... sorry for the mistakes, I'm writing in a hurry .... in freench si quelqun peux m'envoyer les screens, player ou armes, la ou je dois configurer et appliquer le buton dans le clavier ( changer de grenades, fumigenes etc ( switch) et le buton pour voir les noms des joueurs... merci... thx all

I need a screen of settings keybind, (where the grenades are exchanged). so I put in another keybind ... the rest of the keybinds are all configured correctly ... is that in the game there is no (not written) "change of grenade" ... I always have this problem when I stop playing 6 months etc.
maybe for you is "Left CTRL + G" but not for me... i put a game in english, a screen and i coming in 3 minuts

Did you really ping Bohemia people at 3am their time without looking above at all the discussion on this issue?

delicate elm Mar 6, 2019, 3:04 AM

#

Personally, given my personal testing with two ARMA servers that worked fine and one that had problems on the same dedi, and the fact that I was able to identify the mod installation that caused the issue, I would say that Bohemia are only incidental in the issue...

twin lichen Mar 6, 2019, 3:06 AM

Hey guys.
Ok, I read it all and the BI Forum too.
We are having the same issue in our server (only 13 mods intalled, including Exile, ChernarusRedux map). I tried deleting the Cache.ch but it always come back. I disabled the Sig Verif and now it is working. But I am really not feeling confortable without the verification.
I really hope the issue could be solved fast.

delicate elm Mar 6, 2019, 3:07 AM

I solved on my non-working server by removing all mods in a test instance and adding them back one by one until I found a broke one, then fixed then and rinsed and repeated...

What do you mean by 'broke one' and 'fixed'

#

I was just gonna avoid keysigning until BI figures out a solution. The server works if you disable keysigning in your server.cfg. But Grahame, did you have a fix?

delicate elm Mar 6, 2019, 3:23 AM

#

@lavish wren I removed all mods. Tested. Worked. Added a mod. Worked. Added another, broke. Got a new copy of that mod. Tried again. Worked... Added another mod. Worked. Added another, broke... rinse and repeat

lavish wren Mar 6, 2019, 3:24 AM

#

Do you think it changes something on the backend? I deleted and reinstalled all of my mods on my server today lol

#

I have it in a batch.

delicate elm Mar 6, 2019, 3:25 AM

#

@lavish wren Note that the EM mod installation on two other ARMA instances on my dedi worked fine and the servers were accessible. The other server the EM, downloaded via the same SteamCMD mechanism did not... Copying the installation from one of the working servers to the broke one fixed it...

#

Still pissing in the wind here but got it fixed. NOTE: If the server is not fully started (I run Epoch servers, so the Epoch FSM installed and completed) you get the Session Lost too... That confused me for a bit thinking that stuff wasn't working

Kinda getting tired of this bug :. I really don't want to strip my entire server and re-install everything.

lavish wren Mar 6, 2019, 3:30 AM

#

So, what I'm hearing is a full reinstall of the Arma instance, and all your mods fixed it for you? @delicate elm

I have most of it scripted out except my cfgs and pbos xD It's still a super pain

delicate elm Mar 6, 2019, 3:32 AM

#

Yes... But it took longer cause I went through each mod one by one to work out which was the issue and each change I had to restart the ARMA client on my potato PC

#

I mean, I may be wrong in the grand scheme of things but it worked for me. The giveaway was the two working servers with mods that did not work on the borked server

#

All on the same dedi so no confusion about providers, etc

hello, what is your problem?

swift berry Mar 6, 2019, 4:44 AM

#

The new arma update keeps kicking me from my server. Keeps saying session lost. I was informed that its a known issue with the 1.90 update.

lavish wren Mar 6, 2019, 4:45 AM

#

Disable key signing for a quick win. You might be able to reinstall all your servers and mods, that might work. Otherwise, wait for the next BI update.

swift berry Mar 6, 2019, 4:45 AM

#

Have any of these worked?

lavish wren Mar 6, 2019, 4:46 AM

#

Yes

#

Waiting for the next BI update works 😆

swift berry Mar 6, 2019, 4:47 AM

#

Well, my server is through survival servers. how do you disable key assigning? Won't that mess with mods? Are they working to fix the issues?

lavish wren Mar 6, 2019, 4:48 AM

#

Yes they're working to fix the issue. I don't know who survival servers is, but in your server.cfg file you can disable verifySignatures. Look up what it is before you change something. 😃

swift berry Mar 6, 2019, 4:49 AM

#

I'd rather just wait until the next update. Have they given an estimate as to when it should be resolved?

lavish wren Mar 6, 2019, 4:50 AM

#

No idea yet. Dwarden mentioned earlier that their might be a few different reasons for this.

swift berry Mar 6, 2019, 4:50 AM

#

Well, I just added CUP mods to my server.

#

I hope I don't have to go back into the scripts and re-do everything. Took me fucking forever to get it to not crash the server.

keen knot Mar 6, 2019, 5:12 AM

#

Don't disable key signing. It makes the game VERYY easy to be exploited

swift berry Mar 6, 2019, 5:12 AM

#

I wasn't going to. I'm just going to wait until the next BI update. I have other games I can play until then.

keen knot Mar 6, 2019, 5:13 AM

Yeah no worries we just rolled the server back

@tiny imp @quaint jewel
What could be the problem (since 1.88), that we have in our mission (no changes to the mission/server + no mods), that when we start the mission, where we have free vehicles spawned at the base for players to use them,
sometimes when a player gets in a heli or a car - it explodes.
It can be any car or heli and it can apply to any player.

If any player buys any vehicle - no such problem, never.
If it happens to certain free vehicle(s) spawned by the mission, then this/these vehilce(s) will explode till the restart of the mission, each time a player gets in.

When we start the mission, we never know if this will happen to any of the free vehicles or not, and if, then to which/how many of them.

I have deleted problematic vehicles (deletevehicle cursortarget) and have driven with another vehicle on the concerned place of respawn,
and THERE IS an INVISIBLE OBJECT, that you can collide with, that comes from nowhere (not placed by us on purpose)

Welp, re-installed the server and the mods. Now I'm getting kicked from the server stating I'm missing keys for the Tank DLC PBOs. :\

tight wadi Mar 6, 2019, 11:13 AM

#

Nothing to be reinstalled, because nothing has changed in our mission (scripts/code) or in server config/settings + no mods used.
And started to happen directly after 1.88 release.
It can happen as well as not, to one car/heli or to more than one.
But only to those that are spawned by the mission, not to those that players buy.

The funny thing about arma is, that there are rare occations where arma devs don't have a solution ready, but the community has a solution/workaround. As FM said, patience is the key. Somebody will come up with an idea

Those that are having issues with session lost on joining their server, what OS are you running on the server?

I know of one person whose server is on Windows 2016 running similar mods to two others on 2012 and 2008 which are not having the issue

delicate elm Mar 6, 2019, 7:23 PM

#

Windows 2016... but two other ARMA server instances on the same dedi were working fine. As I indicated before, reinstalling a mod solved the issue with that mod that did cause the problem

clear orbit Mar 6, 2019, 7:29 PM

#

What mod? NIArms?

delicate elm Mar 6, 2019, 7:34 PM

#

Enhanced Movement. One installation caused the issue, two others did not. Both copying the known good installation and redownloading the mod with SteamCMD fixed the issue (tested both methods)

Could the current steam network issue be the cause of this problem?
(The servers HC is connecting fine, just every connecting client gets an infinite loading screen. Server shows "player xx connecting" though.)

#

try joining with new player

toxic cargo Mar 7, 2019, 10:11 PM

#

Well maybe its steam related. Just looked into the log again after my client timed out, it now has "Client: *redacted*- Kicked off because of invalid ticket: Ok - Ticket invalid" in there. So, maybe just wait until tomorrow. The mission error could be an unrelated mod or vanilla mission then.

fringe salmon Mar 7, 2019, 10:11 PM

just make new soldier to test

#

You can also open notepad++ and search all *.ext files for headlessClient

#

from all arma directories

#

I expect one of them will have missing ; in Params > headlessClient > title

toxic cargo Mar 7, 2019, 10:22 PM

#

Well, unless you are talking about de-pbo'ing all arma 3 & mod pbo's to get all description.ext files, there is no such thing in my arma directory

Uh. When does a mod have description.ext. mission thing

fringe salmon Mar 7, 2019, 10:24 PM

#

it is not Arma 3, headlessClient is not part of official Params templates https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Mission_Parameters

#

It is either your own or you dragged it from somewhere with a mod

#

tried connecting with new soldier and no mods?

#

wait is dedicated server your own or hosted by some 3rd party?

toxic cargo Mar 7, 2019, 10:26 PM

#

Yep, still ticket invalid.
As I said, maybe the "cannot connect" thing is unrelated to this description error.. I'll wait until tomorrow and see if I can connect again when steam is back online. I honestly don't care about broken mod missions as long is it doesn't crash my server (which it shouldn't if its not loaded)

fringe salmon Mar 7, 2019, 10:27 PM

#

Ticket invalid is different error

#

it is steam failing

#

description.ext error is config error

#

do you still get description.ext error?

toxic cargo Mar 7, 2019, 10:29 PM

Dang, I get both. On my first message I just asked if the "cant connect" maybe is related to description.ext error or the steam network being down at the moment. Seems to be the latter. I'll just wait.

@delicate elm I mean I can try again, but I have done it multiple times now as I thought maybe I was corrupting something on the file transfer, but after some network tests it didn't seem likely

solemn yoke Mar 8, 2019, 1:23 AM

@wise barn , will that patch become part of the mainstream release? How effective has it been?

@rare crypt , you and I are in nearly the same boat. I am also a LinuxGSM user. Disabling verification also does not work for me. Please let me know your results; maybe we can work on this together.

@quaint jewel , thank you for the response earlier. I would want to do some more of the newly recommended troubleshooting this weekend before bothering an official developer to get involved, but it is nice to know that that amount of support might be an option, if needed.

I do hope that a proper mainstream patch will come ASAP, but I know that bug fixes can take time.

@wise barn Will do! I'm in the process of completely redownloading unsung, so I'll try if that fails

delicate elm Mar 8, 2019, 1:33 AM

#

All I can say is that 1 out of three servers I run on the same dedi was borked. Identified a mod. Reinstalled it. Worked then. Spoken to a couple of others who reinstalled via SteamCMD not FTP and they are good too. One thing to note when testing with the vanilla 1.90 release is that it will give the session lost message to you or players until it is fully up even if everything else is okay. That is a change from before

rare crypt Mar 8, 2019, 1:37 AM

#

I looked into using SteamCMD, but as I could gather it requires an arma 3 license, correct?

delicate elm Mar 8, 2019, 1:44 AM

#

Nope. Not on the server.

rare crypt Mar 8, 2019, 1:50 AM

#

Oh, really? I mean I have it on my steam, but I wasn't too confident to use it on the server, but I'll have to look back in to that then. First I'll see if this works

rare crypt Mar 8, 2019, 3:55 AM

#

Well I tried uploading unsung again via FTP (SFTP) and that didn't work. Tried wrapping my head around using the SteamCMD to download the mod, but that just kept failing, don't know what I did wrong. I can't seem to figure out how to enable that branch, but it's very late and I'm tired, so I'll have to figure it out tomorrow. Goodnight all and thanks for the help

quaint jewel Mar 8, 2019, 8:03 AM

@toxic cargo despite no such line is present in the description of any of the missions Might also be a mission in a mod.
That error is not related to not being able to connect. It's just a warning, not an error.
Could the current steam network issue be the cause of this problem? yes definitely.
The servers HC is connecting fine makes sense as it doesn't go through steam auth.
@fringe salmon You can also open notepad++ and search all *.ext files for headlessClient that won't help for missions in pbo's.
@delicate elm Uh. When does a mod have description.ext. mission thing Missions. In. Mods.
@delicate elm Mods have nothing to do with missions in ARMA3 please don't tell lies.
@chrome current Anyone seen GameUpdater stuck on Step: Steam3 Loading? Yes. I fixed it by flipping the "handle steam" switch in game updater and killing steam in task manager.

@rare crypt @solemn yoke There will be another performance build update today that is supposed to fix the "session lost" issue.
If that patch shows to be working then ofc we will get it into main branch.

tiny imp Mar 8, 2019, 12:32 PM

#perf_prof_branch has new performance binary in profiling branch v02 in 1.90 serie, to fix session lost issues

@rare crypt , thank you for tagging me. I hope that this will work for us Linux admins. I do not think that sideloading a separate branch is viable for us LinuxGSM users, especially if we have even slightly complicated setups (like my community's ExileZ instnace), but tomorrow I will try rebuilding a simpler instance (our tac sim / milsim lite one) from scratch and try to incorporate that new performance binary patch into it. Let's keep each other posted.

@patent nacelle , are you still having the problem even with the new performance profiling binary?

@tiny imp , thank you for all of your hard work.

patent nacelle Mar 8, 2019, 1:33 PM

yes @solemn yoke

tiny imp Mar 8, 2019, 2:13 PM

Could the spaces in the file path also be causing issues?

#

I know Arma dislikes spaces in file paths when they're not wrapped in quotes.

#

best answer would be to test it with simpler profile name, tho space is less likely to be problem

inner mesa Mar 8, 2019, 2:51 PM

#

Oh absolutely; just spit balling ideas that I know Arma can trip up on. 😄

patent nacelle Mar 8, 2019, 2:51 PM

#

quaint jewel Mar 8, 2019, 3:20 PM

#

I know Arma dislikes spaces in file paths when they're not wrapped in quotes. That's not Arma. That's just command line stuff

inner mesa Mar 8, 2019, 3:23 PM

#

True

#

But the same issue with spaces arises with a shortcut too if using -mod=X XX, for example I believe.

quaint jewel Mar 8, 2019, 3:24 PM

#

Still command line stuff

#

space just delimits parameters. That's how that stuff works. Not something "arma has issues with"

inner mesa Mar 8, 2019, 3:24 PM

#

I know, but it impacts how Arma behaves, so could the same be true of the file path for the cache file?

viral cargo Mar 8, 2019, 4:13 PM

"So the discussion about Session lost problem after the latest update probably revolved around modifications?

Regarding that: got my game server provider to switch the server I'm renting to A3 profiling branch, then updated my client to the same branch. Just tested and with both the server and client on 1.90.145423 the *Session lost* issue is gone and the connection to the server gets established as expected **with or without modifications**.

crisp cove Mar 9, 2019, 12:08 PM

yep confirmed the new Perf 02 fixs the issue

you need to clean all the files it creates in "C:\Users<windowsuser>\AppData\Local\Arma 3" revalidate via steam and do the same to your server and heypresto all working

In my case, it is just the Veri sign to 0 that worked. but I dont have a dedi, my server is in a host. So, what should I tell them to do in order to fix server side this issue? ( I do have the cache.ch and, no matter how many times I erease it, it reapears) thanks a lot

@quaint jewel .
All our players and HCs were kicked of the server @ ~22:44 and when they tried to reconnect, it was saying CONNECTING FAILED, but the sever was still running.
It was not server internet connection problem, because we alraedy had this and players could simply reconnect.

Server is running on perf 02.

I had to restart the server in order for everybody to be able to join again.
Never happened before.

I have checked the RPT and at this time (22:44:52) I see spam with several hundreds lines within the same second with th exact same message:

lavish wren Mar 10, 2019, 2:19 PM

#

So, I'm not sure if anyone else has been seeing this as well. My new update gets stuck on loading core configs, rather then deleting the cache.ch file, the server instance seems to have somehow created an empty cache_lock file within that directory. When I delete this file, it seems to come up as expected. If someone else has a solution to not have to manually do this, it would be greatly apricated. 😃

#

I know BI released deleting the cache.ch file as a solution. I'm not sure if that is the same issue, or a different one, but figured I'd pass it along.

There is newer advice in the 1.90 troubleshooting thread

Looking through the thread, and all I see is the suggestion of switching branches. Am I overlooking something?

quaint jewel Mar 10, 2019, 2:23 PM

#

are you running multiple arma instances on the same machine?

#

they might eachother try to get the lock, but all but one fail

lavish wren Mar 10, 2019, 2:24 PM

#

7 instances installed, usually am running 5-6 at any given time.

#

Might be Battleye that's creating the lock. It's the only thing that the instances share.

quaint jewel Mar 10, 2019, 2:26 PM

#

it's the cache_lock. It's created by the signature cache

#

It should be stored in the profiles directory. So one fix might be to give each instance a different profiles dir

lavish wren Mar 10, 2019, 2:28 PM

#

What is odd to me, although I have keys in the key folder, signatures are currently turned off (it's a private group, with a passcoded server.. security isn't an issue rn) . I've been waiting till things calm down a bit due to the number of mods we run. It's currently being created in the main directory of the instance. I have 7 instances of Arma server installed each having their own directory, so they all have their own serverprofile dir.

#

Unless it's in the appdata dir?

harsh elk Mar 10, 2019, 3:15 PM

#

It's in appdata dir so you need profile for every server instance.

5-6 at any time..... Wow, what's the machine, "deep thought"?

Note: If i remove NIArms complete from my startup, people can join fine. Other server owners, such as @weak bramble (Sorry for name drop) and a couple more, have reported NIArms working fine on their servers.

#

Don't know if that helps much and yes, I am well aware of the errors in my RPT unrelated to this issue we all have. 😄

#

I still think it is OS/setup dependent @rigid umbra

rigid umbra Mar 11, 2019, 2:11 PM

#

I mean, we could just get it reverted and all will be well

#

😉

dire fog Mar 11, 2019, 2:12 PM

#

Revert means basically ditch the security measures and leave some known holes open for hackers. 😦

quaint jewel Mar 11, 2019, 2:17 PM

#

I would give my advice on that. But besides the signature changes I don't know what the security measures were ._.

rigid umbra Mar 11, 2019, 2:18 PM

#

I would rather have sig checks turned on with a hole or two stopping most hackers, than switched off because people can't play.

#

I mean, does that not make more sense to everyone? Because it's basically everyone running mods who is affected 😄

dire fog Mar 11, 2019, 2:19 PM

#

@rigid umbra have all the disconnected people used the Profiling branch?

quaint jewel Mar 11, 2019, 2:19 PM

#

Also we had hackers on official warlords servers on day1. So.. Makes it sound like security measures are not really worth it
But I think that was more a problem on the battleye side. Not arma itself

rigid umbra Mar 11, 2019, 2:20 PM

#

Lol

#

In regards to prof branch, that's relying on people who use a launcher to add mods to the game to do it, i can try myself tho. Gimme 10 mins and i'll get back to you

#

Hackers will never be stopped on ArmA. That's just my 2 cents.

#

Or in any game for that matter

#

But arma is so open, it's impossible to stop, so using the old sig checks is probably better than the mess we are in at the moment 😛

quaint jewel Mar 11, 2019, 2:22 PM

#

Agree. There is only so much you can do. As long as the player has access to the hardware you lost. In the end he manipulates instructions directly on the CPU or something like that.
But don't want to go into offtopic that much furhter

#

Personal opinion though: People had the ability to test in RC, though they didn't test enough. So F them and test on release now 😄

weak bramble Mar 11, 2019, 2:35 PM

#

Yes, I tested it on RC on all of my servers/mods and had no issues

quaint jewel Mar 11, 2019, 2:35 PM

#

do you have issues now though?

weak bramble Mar 11, 2019, 2:38 PM

#

None no, apart from the odd player who had to whitelist Battleye in Windows Defender. I kept my servers on vanilla 1.90.145381. My dedis are on Windows server 2008r2 which I think is the reason for no issues.

rigid umbra Mar 11, 2019, 2:47 PM

#

Client Perf build 02 does not solve any issues.

#

Still get a disconnect message.

#

Both client and server running Perf v02

#

Also, @quaint jewel Who except a few have the server recourses avalible to actually be able to test a server and client build sufficiently enough and also have multiple mods running it and get players to join on the test branch too? Impossible way of testing IMO

#

No one has the time, nor a decent enough player base that wants to swap to the RC branch and if you forced them by running your main server on RC, they wouldn't join. The results what ever the test period, will be low and un helpful in a game like this.

what does the RPT say about extdb3?

@lost wyvern check the server RPT. Most likely the server can't load the mission due to a missing mod or the mission just being broken by incorrect scripts. It goes back to the default mission then.

Is there a solution for Server error: Player without identity error?

Server was working fine until some update back in mid-Feburary. Ever since then the server boots but no one can make it past the loading screen. We hear enviroment sounds. While sitting at the loading screen (we waited 15 minutes for haha's) the server logs spams repeatedly Server error: Player without identity.

Troubleshooting done:

Isolating if it is a mod issue: Removed all keys in keys folder, removed all mods., and running built-in official mission that is shipped with game (Zeus on Stratis for example)
Re-validated server files 2 times both before and after attempting troubleshooting action (1) above.
Deleted Player.vars.Arma3Profile and restored Player.Arma3Profile to default settings (Thought it might have been corrupted but did not solve issue whatsoever)

Edit: I'm 99% sure it is not a ports/ports forwarding issue as this server worked fine until the update. I also double checked to see if the appropriate ports are open and they are.

This is a dedicated server on a bare-metal box hosted somewhere in NY, this is self-managed as I'm no stranger getting my hands dirty in setting up stuff.
OS: Linux
Game: Arma 3

Please advise, thanks.

@quaint jewel Sorry for not getting back to you earlier, life got in the way and all.

I'm the guy who posted about the Server error: Player without identity error spam and stuck at loading screen issue earlier this morning.

Anyways,

Every .pbo is lowercase, I experienced that issue before when I first set up the server 1 year ago and the server stopped me from launching until I corrected it. I reconfirmed today that every pbo is just as I left it, all lower case. The server didn't stop to complain to me about file names.
File permissions are correct. Nothing should have changed those permissions anyways. For safe measure I reset the permissions and no change occured (to my issue). Server is still spamming Player with no identity error and we are still stuck at loading screen with ambient sounds.
Open file limit is not hit. The only thing that is running is the OS itself and arma. I turned off my 2 discord bots, and rebooted the actual Linux box itself for safe measure to ensure there is no other file locks active.
I tried with battleye on and off for haha's. No change.

#

I do agree that the stuck sitting at loading screen typically means a bad mod however, I manually update the mods, and that is why I tried troubleshooting step 1, of removing all mods and starting server as barebones as possible to narrow culprit. In this case, with all mods removed, it seems mods is not the cause.

terse lark Mar 12, 2019, 10:28 PM

#

How do I do that?

#

@strong steeple

strong steeple Mar 12, 2019, 11:08 PM

drifting wedge Mar 13, 2019, 1:05 AM

#

I have made mild progress. setting verifySignatures to 0 lets me in the server, I can select roles now instead of being stuck at the loading screen. 1 and 2 gets me stuck at the loading screen. Quite strange since there is no mods anymore on the my server. I revalidated my server and my client to double check that the a3.bikey is consistent and the checksums are the same. So I do not understand why this works...

#

Also the console doesn't report any mods being loaded aside from the base game, and the DLCs. The command used to launch the server don't have any mods either ./arma3server -config=server.cfg >> "./logs/arma3serverlog_$(date +"%m-%d-%Y_%H-%M").rpt" so this doesn't makes sense as to why setting verifySignatures = 0 works....

Just for haha's I nuked my config file and restored to default settings and that had no effect either except for setting verifySignatures to 0. That temporary fix lets me in the server and able to choose roles/missions.

#

Also, I tried the profiling branch for both client and server and that also had no effect on my issue.

tropic yarrow Mar 13, 2019, 8:44 PM

#

You know why? Because without verifySignatures, clients don't need mod parity with the server. Thus the broken mod isn't accounted for. It's a broken mod! Seriously!

drifting wedge Mar 13, 2019, 8:45 PM

#

That is the problem... This is a vanilla server... I removed all mods and bikeys except for the a3.bikey.....

#

So I isolated that this is not a mod issue.

tropic yarrow Mar 13, 2019, 8:45 PM

#

Oh my god, you don't have any running missions in your rotation or whitelist do you?

drifting wedge Mar 13, 2019, 8:45 PM

#

Nope

#

No modded missions

#

No workshop mission

tropic yarrow Mar 13, 2019, 8:46 PM

#

log in as administrator, #missions in chat bar

#

Done

drifting wedge Mar 13, 2019, 8:46 PM

#

Do that with verifySignatures as 0 or as 1?

#

Because my issue occurs when it is 1. Stuck at loading screen

tropic yarrow Mar 13, 2019, 8:47 PM

#

It doesn't matter. 1 is a completely depricated mode for verifySignatures, and defaults to 2.

#

Ever try verifying the server install?

drifting wedge Mar 13, 2019, 8:48 PM

#

Well, I tried #missions yesterday when I was stuck at the loading screen and that do nothing. With it at 0 then I already can get to the mission selection screen so what is the point of executing the #missions command?

#

I already verified the server install

#

probably about 10 times in the past 2 days troubleshooting this issue

tropic yarrow Mar 13, 2019, 8:48 PM

#

What do you think? It gives you the missions selection dialog. That way you can stop using broken missions

drifting wedge Mar 13, 2019, 8:48 PM

#

I"m currently on the profiling branch to see if that does anything.

#

I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding or you misunderstanding me.

verifySignatures=0 : I can log into server and automatically right at the start, pick missions, I have Mission selection screen present.
verifySignatures=1: I am stuck at loading screen. Unable to get to roles/missions. Executing #missions do nothing.

#

Under normal circumstances, yes. #missions would bring me to mission selection screen if I am in a mission already. I am familiar with that command, yes.

tropic yarrow Mar 13, 2019, 8:51 PM

#

Why tf do you suppose using 1 was even viable in the first place? Read the biki, not like it matters. But still

drifting wedge Mar 13, 2019, 8:51 PM

#

Well that was what I was using before, 1. I just tried 2. It is same issue as 1.

tropic yarrow Mar 13, 2019, 8:52 PM

#

Like I said, it doesn't matter. It's depricated, it defaults to 2. Show your RPT

drifting wedge Mar 13, 2019, 11:53 PM

From what I found from many places including this channel, it is an old Arma 3 bug that had no real issue.

#

Dating back from 1.60 I think it was.

#

However, that would not make sense anyways because I tried running with the built-in official missions the game comes with. (ie. Zeus on Altis)

@fringe salmon
a very common error msg and has no impact

drifting wedge Mar 13, 2019, 11:55 PM

#

Unless you mean to tell me that the official missions depend on a workshop mod..

#

Thanks for looking into my rpt files though!

#

I'm still at a lost as to why I'm stuck at the loading screen.

#

So far I concluded that it is not mods, not corrupt installation, not workshop missions, not cache files, not saved player files, and not config file.
Edit: and not file permission issues (tried Dedmen's suggestion of running server as root)

@drifting wedge your RPT says hash = '58F767C88025B2B43F9C223DFCE25D56C06295BD'
My linux vanilla server says
hash = '7885A5AFF83534D82501F86F6C062382C302DE70'
I don't know which server is wrong and which is right. But your server isn't working, and mine is. So I assume something is wrong with your files.
I don't know what goes into that hash though.

For starters this is Arma 3 discord, you might want to seek help at DayZ mod forums. As for the error it is just what it says the signatures of your mod files are different which is not allowed on that server.

@drifting wedge I am getting the same error where the console spams player without identity and I can't join

#

already tried adding steamPort and steamQueryPort to the server.cfg as was suggested somewhere on the internet and that didn't help

#

running ubuntu, fresh server that I just got yesterday

#

I can confirm that setting verifySignatures from 2 to 0 fixes the problem

#

security though, so that's not really a viable fix long-term

#

removing the -config=/path/to/server.cfg parameter lets me join the server, so I guess I'll dig through the config file to see if there's something wrong with that

#

works with empty config, trying with basic parameters (server name, password, etc.) ... Still works

#

Setting battleye to 1 ... Still works

#

Smashing keyboard into wall because I still had -config disabled in startup script so my last two tests were pointless ... Still hate my life

#

Adding back -config with both battleye and basic stuff enabled ... Still works

#

Adding verifysignatures = 2, which should default to 2 anyway ... Doesn't work ?!

#

so the plot twist seems to be that arma 3 was trolling us all along and verifySignatures isn't 2 by default

#

removing all else and leaving only verifySignatures = 2 in the config ... Doesn't work

#

Oh arma, you're so funny...

#

the player without ID error doesn't show up anymore though

#

that seems to be related to persistent = 1; and -autoInit

#

trying to delete the mission to see if it was confusing arma ... Doesn't work

#

I've noticed that it's telling me I'm using modified data files for whatever reason

#

not sure if that's normal, but I remember always getting that message anyway in a few older servers

#

Removing mpmissions which was a symlink and creating an actual directory in its place ... Arma is still trolling me

#

Restarting arma 3 client and nuking mpmissioncache ...

#

oh F*** MY LIFE I'm gonna try something different

#

I'm setting up a completely new server

#

if this doesn't work, then arma is broken

#

that actually worked, even with verifySignatures enabled

#

I just deleted the arma 3 server directory and reinstalled from scratch

#

hmmm...

here's a very weird idea...

might it be memory/cpu limitations?

@humble quail has an odd problem, he cannot view textures in buldozer, and in buldozer preferences he cannot change the path to buldozer, for example if he checks the box "use default arma 3 install directory" or changes the path to his arma 3 directory, it says "config changed, exiting program" and then when he reopens the buldozer configurator it has not changed the location path nor accepted the checked box. we have tried this with steam running as admin and not as admin. nothing will work.

#

any ideas?

#

I'm assuming it's some kind of weird permissions issue.

#

@tiny imp @wet coyote any suggestions? I have advised him to purge his PC of arma 3 tools, and reinstall but then use the mikro tools to mount the p drive and install buldozer.

he's working to a deadline, so any help top get his buldozer showing textures would be most appreciated

#

obviously OB has path to textures set to P:\

#

and in OB the tga's show up on the model fine.

but in buldozer, everything is white

so he can't adjust and develop normal map / rvmats on the fly...

@sudden cipher
one of the most common problems with texutures in buldozer versus textures in-game is that the pbo's have been extracted badly/wrongly. and consequently the templates used in TB will also be wrong because the file\references are misplaced.

#

re:
"use default arma 3 install directory"

does sparklekitten trust bis sufficiently that they even know what a default install dir would be? The only way to reliably discover where arma3 has been installed is via StackOverflow's excellent code to traverse the STEAM registry settings (not bis) and extraplate from there.

#

"config changed, exiting program"

this comes about when the P:\bin\config.cpp does not match that of arma3,exe bin folder.

this happens when the wrong config.cpp is installed on P:\ (using bis tools), or, when tools are devel and game is stable (or vice versa)

What puzzles me is I removed all mods dependent on ACE and it worked for a few sessions. Then suddenly it stopped working again and as soon as my SP mission loads in the editor it CTDs and gives the too many virtual memory blocks requested error.

decrease view distance

1200m is fine most of the time

@quaint jewel I'm using the release build. Where do I get the performance build?

quaint jewel Mar 19, 2019, 12:15 PM

Ok. I clicked on 190perf -> perf05. I see a lot of arma3client_performance files. Which one do I choose?

quaint jewel Mar 19, 2019, 12:37 PM

#

the client performance x64

zealous rivet Mar 19, 2019, 12:38 PM

#

Done. I'm guessing I just extract the folder into the main Arma directory?

quaint jewel Mar 19, 2019, 12:49 PM

#

Yeah

#

You can either run the performance executable manually. Or replace your arma3_x64.exe with it

Hmm. Still the same error when using ALiVE. "too many virtual memory blocks requested."

#

I troubleshooted with the devs of that mod and none of them can replicate.

quaint jewel Mar 19, 2019, 12:57 PM

#

If it's caused by a script, I have a tool to diagnose which script. But it's quite alot of work.

zealous rivet Mar 19, 2019, 12:57 PM

#

How might that tool be used?

Only works without battleye, is a clientside mod.
It can display the number of script values that exist, I assume it's script allocating tons and tons of script values.
If you can see that the number of a type grows, and that it always grows in a specific script function. Then boom. There's the cause.

Ok. I'll give it a shot! Thanks.

quaint jewel Mar 19, 2019, 1:04 PM

Load mod (steam workshop version preferably)
Start Arma without battleye and the start parameters -profilerEnableFAlloc -profilerEnableInstruction (https://github.com/dedmen/ArmaScriptProfiler/wiki/Command-line-parameters)
Start tracy (binary included in the download) and connect it. Then crash the game. And save the tracy capture. And send it to me I guess.
otherwise I'd have to explain you how to read that data

Ok. First let me try to get Arma to launch. Since I installed the mod it crashes on startup now. Every time. "Status integer divide by zero" or whatever. I'm validating my arma 3 files rn

quaint jewel Mar 19, 2019, 1:11 PM

#

oof. Might be my fault
Though I tested it to be working on 1.90

#

Might need to fix it first then... Which will take a couple days maybe

zealous rivet Mar 19, 2019, 1:12 PM

#

Let me try again after the validation and I'll let you know.

#

As for the launch parameters I just need to enter them like normal? In the steam launcher options?

quaint jewel Mar 19, 2019, 1:14 PM

#

yeah

#

Well. Depends on how you start arma. Maybe enter them in Arma Launcher

zealous rivet Mar 19, 2019, 1:23 PM

#

Yeah it doesn't work for me. It just crashes each time. When I disabled it Arma started fine.

quaint jewel Mar 19, 2019, 1:24 PM

#

Did you take the steam workshop version, or the one from github?

zealous rivet Mar 19, 2019, 1:26 PM

#

Github

quaint jewel Mar 19, 2019, 1:28 PM

#

I think that's older than the workshop one

#

Ah no it isn't. Well. I'll have to fix it then

#

Can you PM me the crashdump from Arma? where it crashed with my profiler enabled?
The mdmp file in your RPT folder. Pack it in a zip and PM it to me please

zealous rivet Mar 19, 2019, 1:29 PM

#

Sure. Give me a moment

quaint jewel Mar 19, 2019, 1:30 PM

#

Other people tested it on 1.90 and didn't report problems so this is weird.

zealous rivet Mar 19, 2019, 1:33 PM

#

You just need the mdmp right?

quaint jewel Mar 19, 2019, 1:33 PM

#

yeah

#

And my own debug files which i hope I still have somewhere 😄

zealous rivet Mar 19, 2019, 1:36 PM

I just sent it btw
