yup, two of them
one offloading A3XAI AIs, the other DMS AIs, i suspect that is something wrong with DMS HC
if I am reading this correctly it was offloading same AIs over and over again for some reason

Hello guys, I need help. Every time I try to resume the WLA scenario I have an error that says "Too many virtual memory blocks requested". Can someone help me?
frozen stone
How much RAM you have?
quaint jewel
Too many blocks is usually a allocation count problem, not a memory space problem
Don't remember what specifies the max block limit.
strong steeple
Well, you need allocation of new memory because you need more and more
so something forces the game to request more memory blocks, no?
quaint jewel
Okey limit of blocks is 32 😄
Don't know how big such a block can be I think 2GB.. maybe..

Excuse me if I answered you late, however, I play Arma 3 with GeForce Now so I shouldn't have any hardware problems. Maybe I need to change some settings in the Launcher?

Anyone else having issues with Arma3 Tools at the moment? Specifically trying, to start Object Builder crashes Arma3 tools instantly?

I don't think that most of us open Object Builder through the tools UI
tender dragon
LOL!
tender dragon
I think it's down to the fact it's been updated since I last ran it (so thinks it's a fresh installation) and opening it through UI tools does not allow the pop up to setup options to run correctly. Just browsing to the OB directory and running the .exe allows me to set options and after that, everything runs normally.

does anyone know how to fix arma saying I have to start a mission first so i can even edit my mod hotkeys?

You have to be in a "mission" to load the mods. Just use editor, or virtual arsenal
crystal zodiac
the issue is ill be in main menu, mission, or any other thing and it still doesnt allow me to.. even in actual story missions
chrome current
You can't find the options or the options won't allow you to change keys?

since installing windows 10, My P drive won't start automatically
I have to manually mount it
any idea what caused this and how to fix it? it's well annoying
in arma 3 tools i have "mount p drive on startup" selected
also windows pops up a message
uncut trellis
I always just drop by mapdisk.bat into windows startup
sudden cipher
each time workdrive is executed
uncut trellis
and also I dont use any of the Arma3Tools stufff
sudden cipher
there is no mapdisk.bat any more
just workdrive.exe
where is your startup folder?
i found mapdisk.bat in arma 3 tools root folder
C:\Users\Rob\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
found it!
uncut trellis
I use the way described in the PMC wiki
with the simple subst commands in the mapdisk.bat
sudden cipher
i still get the windows popup "do you want workdrive.exe to make the following changes to your computer? yes/no"
it freezes my PC startup sequence, waiting for the answer
suboptimal 😉
sudden cipher
ok sorted it - thanks HG! I deactivated the workdrive app in the startup app control dialog, and added the mapdisk.bat (edited to remove all the old code and just have the two lines on the wiki page, and pointing to my armawork folder)
it now works as expected
could really do with bohemia fixing this as it will no doubt cause confusion for others

The "use ArmaTools launcher as little as possible" way written in the PMC guide is what we collectively agreed to be the simplest and most reliable way to set these things up.
quaint jewel
@crystal zodiac fix arma saying I have to start a mission first so i can even edit my mod hotkeys
Arma doesn't tell you that. CBA does. There is no fix, there is a reason that message has been added.
native mountain
i'm having some pretty serious flickering and artifacting in picture-in-picture, especially with i.e. tank 1st person views. it also sometimes shows up on mirrors. i have plenty of graphics power, so it isn't caused from overheating issues. no overclocking on the GPUs or CPU. I've tried messing around with the various graphics settings, but it's present at every level. I suspect that it's a post-processing issue, but, like I said, i haven't been able to find settings where it isn't present.
i take it back, i don't think it's post-processing issues, because i disabled them all with no effect.
muted sorrel
@quaint jewel hey sorry if I ping you but did you read the logs?
crystal zodiac
@quaint jewel
even with only CBA Downloaded through workshop it tells me that. so is the mod itself corrupted?

Trying to run a dedicated server and my client at the same time, ive done it before and never had issues but all of a sudden its crashing my client when I try to connect
quaint jewel
@crystal zodiac no. I just told you. CBA tells you that. And there is a reason for it. In that it's impossible for the mod code to work at that point.
Which is the reason it tells you to join a mission.
Just go into Virtual Arsenal via the button on main menu, and it'll work in there.
@muted sorrel nope no time yesterday. Maybe today. Sadly don't have the files I need at work. So have to wait till I get home
digital lichen
Is it possible to analyze bidmp and mdmp files? Or can I ask someone from bohemia to do it
quaint jewel
Not possible for you. You could ask bohemia to do it but the expected waiting time is weeks if it's nothing important.
If it's a crash or reproducible then just file a ticket on the feedback tracker.
I can look into it and tell you roughly what happened, but if it's just a game crash then feedback tracker ticket would be better

Yeah I dont think people are going to be interested anymore in arma 2 for feedback tracker lmao

digital lichen
Lmao, ive emailed battleye 3 times like a year ago about something else
Never got anything back
quaint jewel
Yeah that's what I meant ^^
digital lichen
So, im fucked with this problem I guess then?
I dont need an exact error fix, I need to know what happened in the engine or whatever when it crashes
Then i can see if i can trace it back to the tunnel etc

My Saving is broke, I cant save a mission, which is hosted to the internet. I hosted it on my PC, via "Host Server"
And thats bad, if everything is gone
strong steeple
Normally you can't "save" a mission in MP through the "Esc"-menu. That's (IIRC) for singleplayer missions only. Missions like Antistasi and Liberation have in-game buttons or save automatically.
fierce snow
Can you tell me where the Save button at Liberation is?
tropic yarrow
Take a look at what Nightstalker said. If you take a look at their site or upload site there may be administrative controls that allow this. But I doubt it.
fierce snow
There are "permissions" but thats the only "administrative"
tropic yarrow
Then I guess you're left to assume there is no save feature. Sorry.
tropic yarrow
🤷
fierce snow
If i join back to the server then, its back to default
or where is the save game
wait.
tropic yarrow
Sounds like you aren't running the server side mod then
fierce snow
its the new save game i have to host
tropic yarrow
That's what "server-side" likely means in this case, never touches client and indexed stuff to save. Server mod.
fierce snow
And how can I run the server side mod?
I can remember, where it already said "restart" where you can choose which map and game mode you want to play
strong steeple
I don't ever remember using a server-side mod. Liberation saves to the server profile's namespace (vars.profile) automatically every minute or so I believe
Check whether your server profile is set to read-only.

Okay so basically for the last few months, both my modded and vanilla experience of the loading etc. in this game looks like this. I do not have a slow computer which could be lagging and I stay on top of updates.
Specs: I7-7700K, 16GB 3200mhz RAM, GTX 1070 - OS is on my M.2 Drive (970 evo), arma on the SSD (860 evo)
I've done the verify integ after each update, even reinstalled the game. still didn't fix my issue.
So why am I so bothered about it? It takes FOREVER to load when it does do this bug. (70% of the time and at game boot, 100%)
After it's done it's loading, it's fine and works normal, just takes a while (30 seconds to a minute to get past it)
Any ideas?
wise barn
That's pretty normal. Never experienced other.
wise barn
I always had a “long“ loading time since arma 2 compared to other titles. Also most of the folks in my old unit. So nothing that really concerned us
It differs to what and how many background processes are running through
Can be 30s to two minutes

Hello everyone
Me and my friends are trying to make a squad, but we can't get our logo to show in the game
We tried with our own hosting, ArmaSquad, but the image still doesn't show in the player list in briefing
solid ferry
We kind of want to avoid the Bohemian Unit System
(Becase we migth want to updates our settings a lot, and if we can reduce the numbers of middlemen we would prefer)
wise barn
well, if your admin maintains some weird squad xml stuff of the units page, what difference does it make...?
the BI units stuff works out of the box
¯_(ツ)_/¯
fierce kelp
btw, logo wont show on linux a3 servers. Its a known bug for years
solid ferry
Right now, we host with our own computers using UPnP (All playing on Windows)
Our .paa works in game (when we load the file into the game), but it just don't show in briefing
fierce kelp
what format / is the image? arma something has trouble with anything but .png or .paa
solid ferry
We tried png->paa, tga->paa, and using the .paa provided by ArmaSquads when I uploaded the .png

the logo shows up in the menu though? (on your profile in the top right)

fierce kelp
what are you profile settings for the unit? or rather, whats the link you are using for the xml?

it seems your player ID is missing in the xml, it is need for the game to know, who is who
or cant i see the ID? hm

did you try public servers if it shows there?
fierce kelp
who is hosting your server? or rather is it running on linux?
solid ferry
We run the server from the game itself
On our own computers
And we both play on Windows 10
I run without mods, on stable

maybe try arma 3 server tools, or setup a dedicated server. Your squad xml is working (as you saw) Im assuming its having the same issues as linux there. Otherwise ull be out of luck

Hey guys i have a huge issue since launch of the game. Just came on the idea today to search for a arma discord server and ask for help there
I have over hunderd thousand play hours and still i have a issue with locating shots.
Like, there is a enemy straight at my left and he shoots at me and also fails. I am keep looking in front of me, then at me right and then at my back and then i am dead already.
I am using a logitech G933 if it matters btw
Arma 3 king of the hill btw
fringe salmon
yeah i disabled it already
playing on stereo
It makes way easier now to spot choppers etc.
but i dont hear guns shots baasically
If you fire a gun, there are 2-3 different sounds you hear. The one is from the weapon itself, the one from the "air", and the one from the bullet when it lands. I cant sort them all.
Can someone link me a video where i can train my ears ?
i think a video would help a lot. Tried editor etc. as well but solo its not worth it or with fake AI
quaint jewel
I also can't really locate shots if they are too far away such that you only hear mostly the air crack
fringe salmon
I have even problem with enemies who are 1m next to me and shoot
quaint jewel
but if he's right next to me the actual sound of the gun is usually louder than the crack
fringe salmon
I play like "shroud". If i see a enemy, i instant flick my mouse and hit the enemies head. My aim is really good. I am global in csgo, diamond in rainbow six siege and so on.
But in arma 3 i had only issues
Thank you. If thats true, then i may have a game bug ? i feel like i dont hear players guns if they are next to me or very close
A Video or clip would help so much
let me check out for gameplys and watch them and listen carefully to the sounds
Ok just checked for gameplys. I only hear these "clicky" sounds. Not the more darker sound from the gun itself or i never noticed it hm. I gonna try now a game again.

Since 3DEN editor was added, #include'ing external files in description.ext of missions is broken
only real fix is either removing that #include completely.
Or manually grabbing the file, putting it into your mission directory, and editing the #include path accordingly to use the local file in the mission directory.

would you be able to help me do that since i have no idea what that means

If you made the mission you should know why that #include is in there. If not you should probably tell the mission author about the problem

@pseudo folio I also sometimes rarely see it. I thought it was my gpu acting up. Must be some very in-depth arma rendering bug.
@tropic yarrow Yeah it's a PP effect, chromatic aberration no it's not

It's a flimmering random rectangle that floats in the terrain and causes a rendering glitch
Maybe some bug in some models then. I'm not using that mod and I rarely have it too

Hi guys, I have a problem that I've been trying to tackle for a while now.
On my dedicated server when another player is firing a machine gun I am only able to see and hear single shots being fired.
This isn't just me though, everyone is having the exact problem in my unit.
I was wondering if anyone else has this issue and if so how do you fix it?

@past nexus
get your mainboard model, go to the company website, download all needed drivers (chipset, usb, lan, audio, ect) and MANUALLY install them. never let win10 install your drivers!
your issue sounds very likely to be audio related

Sound driver or rather the lack of one outside a generic windows one was the cause.

Do you also keep transmitting over radio in ts or just direct voice?

does it matter if in my serverstart.bat when i put my mods in if its like -mod=CUP_Terrains_-_Maps;

it must be named as the @ folder
sacred wing
so use the "" instead because of closing every space with _
wise barn
-mod="Awesome Mod Folder"
should do the trick
sacred wing
alright ill try that and ill let you know
wise barn
from the wiki:
-mod=test;x\test;c:\arma3\test2
"test" is located in the arma3 installation folder ("Arma 3\test") (relative path)
"x\test" is in the installation folder ("ArmA 3\x\test") (relative path; subfolder)
"c:\arma3\test2" is in "c:\arma3\test2" (absolute path)
"Relative path" starts from, or is rooted at, the directory from where the arma3 executable has been started, and is not always the same where the executable is, like in betas.
Usually this is the same as the installation path and the same of what's written in Windows registry. But if you copy or symlink the necessary file and folders, you may have different roots. It's useful when have more dedicated server.```

What's wrong with steam workshop? I started downloading of 25 GB's of mods last night, today morning it was going to be done. but today i started steam and then it was downloading whole 25GB's from start! I checked workshop folder in steam library folder and mods were there but for some reason steam is downloading all of them again
IS there a way to fix it?
tropic yarrow
Not really. Steam bugn
fringe salmon
So i must redownload all of them?
Or i can somehow use the mods inside workshop folder that steam doesn't recognize them?
Or there is a way to force steam recognize them?
fringe salmon
They're not deleted
tropic yarrow
Some bug in the subscriptipn system
Not sure. Could be that it's verifying the 25 GBs worth.
quaint jewel
That stuff just happens when you use steam mods. Just randomly every now and then steam decides to redownload everything.
fringe salmon
So is there anything i can do to fix it?
quaint jewel
I remember someone saying restarting steam or deleting some specific file would fix it. Don't know what file tho
mighty pier
Try logging out of steam first, then restarting it and logging back in. That fixed the perpetual download loop for me anyway. @fringe salmon
fringe salmon
Alright sure i will try it, but hey it will redownload them all, yes?
I was hoping for a way to use the current downloaded files

@quaint jewel I don’t even see cup vehicles in the rpt and no other errors that I can see

Hey guys anyone know why vcom overrides my player in zues

VCOM overrides your player? It takes over your player character? Now that's something I've never seen happening.
fringe salmon
Yeah
It will like do things that i didnt input
like throw a smoke grenade
Or do the advanced movments
strong steeple
So, you spawned in as a player, and VCOM took over the controls and made you move around?
fringe salmon
i can record with obs and show you
strong steeple
Nah I rather you explain it better
strong steeple
that's not a player, that's an AI
fringe salmon
No ugh
When you remote controll a ai it turns off the ai for that person it is no longer an ai
strong steeple
so please call it an AI and not a player
strong steeple
so, you take over an AI and VCOM still issues orders that the AI carries out without you able to intervene?
fringe salmon
Yeah
strong steeple
yes that's a known bug/feature.
fringe salmon
And the dev just dosent care?
strong steeple
friendly reminder that the people who develop these mods are unpaid and do this in their free time.
fringe salmon
Yes i understand
But if its a known bug
That makes people not want to use his mod
strong steeple
they care, but haven't had the time to fix it
They can make demands that things need fixing when the dev gets paid. Until then, just wait.
Whether you use it or not, dev won't feel a difference
people who aren't entirely ignorant to the time a dev has available to work on the mod have the patience to wait
disable it temporarily and wait for the update to come or keep using it. All up to you, matey

Have just got a new server in the UK and once opening the firewall and setting up a server I have come into an issue. Seemingly those outside of the UK cannot /see/ the server. Those in the UK can connect and get into mission, however, those outside of the UK cannot even see the server listed. If the non-UK people 'view game info' on someone in the server it shows as "Server not responding". Any ideas to why this is happening? If you need any more info let me know.

it is there in eden but it isnt there in zeus
I googled it but no result
all official and unofficial mods are loaded
bump
wise barn
Then the mod you can not find in zeus is not set up for it by the autor. Nothing much you can do beside contacting them
fringe salmon
scopeCurator in the config of the asset is probably missing so it is not loaded. Talk to the creator @clear ledge

hi, how can i fix battleye initialization failed
karmic shore
Hi, I have a similar issue in Warlords. "You were kicked from the game, Battleye failed to initialize" or "Battleye client not responding". It has only started since the update a couple days ago.

I opened all ports according to the wiki, still no chance, what am I doing wrong?

assign server to those ports? Disable UPNP?
fringe salmon
what that image is supposed to show @tranquil charm ?
agile plinth
Can someone join me to see if my ports are working right?

Hey can someone help me?
I'm running vanilla arma3 and whenever I enter a vehicle
It defaults to a death / dead posture
So when in first person, my camera is facing the floor since he's hunched over
I can operate the vehicle normally but in combat this is very frustrating
Same thing goes with mounted weapons
round lance
Not using TrackIR or anything similar, right?
If not, try using things like ctrl+numpad(right side of the keyboard) to see if you can adjust your camera.
If this doesn't fix it or work, i'd recommend verifying your game files.
If it doesn't work even then, do tell me and i'll help you with figuring it out.
dire phoenix
It's not the camera
The whole humanoid is playing a death animation hence the issue with the camera
dire phoenix
I defaulted to reinstalling
rustic tusk
that'd help us actually understand what's happening
instead of just a vague description that might be something entirely different
dire phoenix
Sure thing
round lance
Could've verified your files instead of resorting to reinstalling
Just remember that next time.

that's a nice 404, screenshot of the message please?
round lance
410, technically.

is says dangercausedby if deepdebug then diag_logformat error undefined variable in expressions ot_deepdebug
file/overthow_main/function/ai/fn_dangercaused.sqf {ot_fnc_dangercased} line 19
round lance
Why are you getting this message again?
Are you trying to launch up arma, using a certain weapon or vehicle, etc?
rustic tusk
we really need a exact picture of the error, context everything, mods no mods
etc etc
strange meadow
How would I go about putting the pic of it in here
rustic tusk
imgur, any photo hosting website
strange meadow
round lance
the hell is that gun?
definitely seems like a mod thing.
dangercaused also might be related to an AI mod you have on?
not sure.
strange meadow
It is a anti tank gun
round lance
i realized that.
the 20mm is a good hint.
if it's an issue that pops up with mods then that is moreso the mod devs' problems.
or specifically the combination of mods you have.
strange meadow
Ok that so much for the help ya I destroys any thing I throw at it in 3-4 shots
round lance
as long as it doesn't crash your game it's pretty okay I guess?
also for next time just take screenshots with F12 and post those.
no need to use your phone for that.
strange meadow
Ok thanks
rocky dragon
https://imgur.com/a/7hJG7qe any idea why I can't map my controller? the mappings on the left are just blank
round lance
that's not where you map your controller, that's where you control your sensitivity.
you map your controller in the normal configurations.
round lance
no problem.

rocky dragon
it still doesnt seem to detect any movement of the axis
hmm well it got it eventually
i see you need to push it the whole way
strange meadow
Lankier cool thanks for the help It was one of my mods that was casing the problem
round lance
@strange meadow no problem.

Help! I can no longer locally host. UPNP was failing. Not sure why.... Ive opened up ports on arma 3, both my router and nothing has worked, ive tried validating my files, reinstalling and still nothing. Now it looks like it hosts, but no one can see my server and when they join through friends list says server is not responding....
strong steeple
if you open up your ports, you don't need UPNP
dusky hill
interesting.... Thank you i understand more day by day

Hi, so people in my server are randomly getting session lost
14:59:43 Player Ben Smith: Wrong signature for file addons\characters_f_epa.pbo
we tried verify game files still getting random session lost
round lance
woops, forgot this isn't GM related.
well that means something is problematic server-related, not client.
quaint jewel
@surreal frigate try deleting pbo, and then verify files again
surreal frigate
did
round lance
server-side maybe?
surreal frigate
it just gives another file
idle summit
getting an error message when i boot arma saying " corrupted settings it looks like your settings are corrupted. we will need to reset them to their defaults to continue" anyone have any idea, if verfied game and ive also reinstalled arma
ive*#
quaint jewel
sounds more like cba
my documents/arma 3/profilname.vars.arma3profile
try deleting that file. Be warned that it resets some of your ingame settings
grizzled willow
I'm putting together a mod and I have permission from some people to use their assets so my question is this. When I add the pbo's do I need the bisigns as well or not? Am I missing something else that needed to? I don't want to screw this up.
round lance
You need to generate a new one yourself.

All my Arma 3 loadouts were deleted, all of a sudden.
they had the GM DLC if that help's.
round lance
That happens sometimes at complete random.
Might be able to recover them in Documents > ArmA 3 - Other Profiles
Loadouts are profile specific
round lance
Yes, and you can see if your old profile has duplicated or anything similar.
gusty snow
I dm'd you a photo.

So today I wanted to re-play the Arma 3 campaign and started with the prolugue, once I was done with that I expanded the east wind then clicked "Replay" on the drawdown 2035 mission and was back into prologue.
round lance
drawdown 2035 IS the prologue.
unless you mean the actual literal prologue?
which is the bootcamp campaign?
soft jacinth
right, but when I start it brings me to the reality check mission
round lance
oh, that's odd.
soft jacinth
yeah
round lance
no mods, right?
round lance
did you try verifying files yet?
soft jacinth
yop
soft jacinth
When I created a new profile it just says continue :/
round lance
try what was said in these comments maybe?
round lance
still same result though?
soft jacinth
thanks anyways, have a good day
round lance
no problem.
fringe salmon
we are having an issue on our antistasi server where the friendly ai keeps killing us sporadically?
fallow remnant
are you sure they're on the same side?
fringe salmon
Disable SkyNet
round lance
Teamkilling problems probably.
Specifically if you start shooting enemies immediately after undisguising i guess.
fringe salmon
Is there anyway to disable the debug errors
wise barn
-showScriptErrors
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Startup_Parameters
either this, or disable them in the launcher settings
fringe salmon
Where would I find it in launcher settings
wise barn
parameters > all parameters > scroll down to show script errors > deselect the field
(i guess that's what it is all called in english UI)
fringe salmon
It's already unchecked 🤔
wise barn
is it a black window in game showing weird stuff?
fringe salmon
Yup
wise barn
i only know of those two options...
fringe salmon
Huj
quaint jewel
@wise barn @fringe salmon it's enabled in 3DEN. Can't disable
wise barn
good to know, thx
uncut trellis
fixing the errors it pops up will make it go away though.
