#

you said you cant get it to work?

#

no its a mod you play on a server that runs it

#

on the FR Politismos servers likely

#

how to get into those I have no idea unfrotunately

#

the life mods have many ways they organize their communities

#

you might have to look up their server/forums on internet

#

or msg the uploader of the mod

#

also do note that the FR refers to it being a French community

#

that I dont know anything about. if you are missing something it requires you will have to find that mod too

@round lance That doesnt show, the name of the file there is CC-2224%20%22Cody%22%20(Plo) nothing else.

#

nvm, most people in the comments say uninstall, just gonna do that.

round lance May 7, 2019, 11:13 PM

uhm

#

what?

#

if you don't have that file in your documents then that IS the problem.

#

then again arma would just generate a new one in that case.

#

very odd.

#

also remember name means your name will be instead of that word on the file.

median storm May 8, 2019, 4:04 AM

#

i'm currently having an issue with the sound in my game on one of the modded servers i go on. i can't hear shots by players and also can't be heard by players. i have verified files, reinstalled jsrs and restarted pc/steam. to no avail

round lance May 8, 2019, 12:32 PM

#

@dire phoenix even after the reinstall you said you'd do?

#

@median storm if there is a difference of mods compared to you and the rest of the people on the server then that could cause it.

median storm May 8, 2019, 12:37 PM

#

there's plenty of differences between others but they can hear each other i'm the only one no one can hear

#

and only on that server

dire phoenix May 8, 2019, 12:39 PM

#

@round lance already reinstalled

#

It repairs itself when I run CBA

round lance May 8, 2019, 12:40 PM

#

@median storm try not using JSRS and see how well that works, alternatively make sure you have all the JSRS sub mods that you may need.(RHS compat or CUP compat, etc.)

#

@dire phoenix have you completely deleted everything in your arma 3 folder after uninstalling?

dire phoenix May 8, 2019, 12:41 PM

#

Yes

#

Even workshop

#

I went to the file directory

round lance May 8, 2019, 12:41 PM

#

This is very odd then.

median storm May 8, 2019, 12:42 PM

#

i tried going in without any extra mods and still couldn't hear weapons even vanilla

dire phoenix May 8, 2019, 12:42 PM

#

Maybe I should burn my hardrive

round lance May 8, 2019, 12:46 PM

#

@dire phoenix no need, just try the things i mentioned prior like shift/ctrl+numpad keys and see what happens.

#

@median storm this only happens on that specific server i'm guessing?

median storm May 8, 2019, 12:48 PM

#

yeah.

#

only major difference is a switch from tfar to acre

round lance May 8, 2019, 12:50 PM

#

That shouldn't cause you to not hear weapons though.

#

Usually things that do that are weapon mod differences

#

Like, say, some people having a gun mod you don't have enabled.

#

Or JSRS, but that's sometimes random.

median storm May 8, 2019, 12:52 PM

#

all our gun mods are mods we have to load. i know i don't have the exact same jsrs as everyone but yeah

round lance May 8, 2019, 12:52 PM

#

I'm guessing when people shoot you don't hear them but you do hear the bullet hit dirt/ground or something, right?

#

And if you don't have the exact same JSRS then that would most likely be an issue.

median storm May 8, 2019, 12:53 PM

#

well like i said even without jsrs loaded at all couldn't hear them

#

but i can hear the ai shoot

round lance May 8, 2019, 12:53 PM

#

Yes, because the AI is a server thing

#

That doesn't change anything.

median storm May 8, 2019, 12:53 PM

#

is it possible for it to be a latency issue

#

causing files to not load

round lance May 8, 2019, 12:53 PM

#

No, it really can't be.

median storm May 8, 2019, 12:53 PM

#

just making sure

round lance May 8, 2019, 12:53 PM

#

Latency issue would then mean you wouldn't hear the bullets either.

median storm May 8, 2019, 12:54 PM

#

i think i only hear the bullets due to soundscape and supress

round lance May 8, 2019, 12:54 PM

#

No?

#

Bullets will always be heard.

#

Because they are transmitted to server side.

median storm May 8, 2019, 12:54 PM

#

idk then

round lance May 8, 2019, 12:55 PM

#

Just get the exact same JSRS as everybody else.

#

That should fix it.

#

If not then something else might be an issue.

median storm May 8, 2019, 12:55 PM

#

will try it i guess wouldn't hurt

median storm May 8, 2019, 1:10 PM

#

i asked a friend for what jsrs he had on, turned on the exact same and it didn't work

#

so it's something in that server that's not letting me hear player guns but idk what

round lance May 8, 2019, 1:12 PM

#

It sounds like there's some mod incompatibility, but i personally can't tell you what.

median storm May 8, 2019, 1:12 PM

#

we tried it all but can't figure it out either, everyone else can hear their guns but i can't

#

i'm the only one that can't hear or be heard

round lance May 8, 2019, 1:12 PM

#

All mods through the workshop, right?

median storm May 8, 2019, 1:13 PM

#

yeah. and we tested it with a whole line of people shooting one after the other only i couldn't hear it

round lance May 8, 2019, 1:14 PM

#

Well the only things i could suggest is verifying game files, though i doubt that would do much in this case.

median storm May 8, 2019, 1:15 PM

#

did that already said every file was fine

round lance May 8, 2019, 1:16 PM

#

That's all i've got for you then.

#

Sorry that I can't help you, but i can tell you that it sounds like a mod incompatibility issue.

#

Either wrong mod versions or different number of mods.

median storm May 8, 2019, 1:21 PM

#

i could ask for one to send me a html file of their mods so i can try using their exact load order.

round lance May 8, 2019, 1:22 PM

#

That might work.

median storm May 8, 2019, 1:57 PM

#

so it worked

#

but then we found out incidiary break the sound

plucky kettle May 8, 2019, 1:57 PM

#

I desperately need help with server stuff
We have an issue with our server where any time we load a mod, with an item being placed in the editor (it can be any item, a building, unit, vehicle, anything) it will show the error I'm going to put below
It also does it for modded maps
I've been trying to fix this error for about a month, even having switched to a different server provider (we're now with Host-Havoc) I'm sure its something I've done wrong but I can't work out what

mpmissions\__cur_mp.stratis\mission.sqm/Mission/Entities/Item3/Entities/Item0.type: Vehicle class rhsusf_army_ocp_rifleman no loner exists

quaint jewel May 8, 2019, 1:58 PM

#

all mods properly loaded? windows or linux? checked log file that all pbo's of all mods are listed there as being loaded?

plucky kettle May 8, 2019, 2:03 PM

#

In the log it says its got an addon missing, "rhsusf_c_troops", we're on windows, I'm just trying to look in the logs for anything else i can spot

quaint jewel May 8, 2019, 2:03 PM

#

there should be a rhsusf_c_troops.pbo listed in the log

#

if the mod is loaded properly. If it isn't then you aren't loading the modfolder correctly

plucky kettle May 8, 2019, 2:05 PM

#

I'm not sure how to load it properly, my mod command line looks like this

"-mod=@CBA_A3;@RHSUSAF;@RHSAFRF;@Achilles;"

quaint jewel May 8, 2019, 2:05 PM

#

that looks correct

#

as long as the folder names match the names in arma folder

plucky kettle May 8, 2019, 2:06 PM

#

it does

quaint jewel May 8, 2019, 2:06 PM

#

Might also be a corrupted download if you got it via steam

plucky kettle May 8, 2019, 2:06 PM

#

The problem is its any mod that does it, not just RHS

#

We also tried it 2 ways, uploading mods via FTP and downloading through the built in mod downloader that Havoc use

quaint jewel May 8, 2019, 2:07 PM

#

did you check the log whether the pbo's are listed in there? like I asked you twice already?

plucky kettle May 8, 2019, 2:08 PM

#

I'm just looking at the log now

#

I feel like if i could see what youre asking for id have spotted it but i cant see it

quaint jewel May 8, 2019, 2:08 PM

#

then the modfolder is maybe not found

#

Or the -mod param isn't passed at all

plucky kettle May 8, 2019, 2:09 PM

#

Yeah in the log its just repeating the same thing about it not being found

#

That sounds like a safe bet since its for all mods

quaint jewel May 8, 2019, 2:10 PM

#

mod is not loaded then

#

check if it's in the modlist in the rpt

#

if not then -mod is not passed

#

modlist is the ============= part where dlc's are listed too

plucky kettle May 8, 2019, 2:11 PM

#

where would the rpt be located generally?

quaint jewel May 8, 2019, 2:12 PM

#

Dunno where it is on windows server. On linux server it doesn't exist, and on windows client it's in appdata/local/Arma 3

plucky kettle May 8, 2019, 2:15 PM

#

Whats in the rpt? Im sorry if its a stupid question I've never had to do anything like this before, googling it makes it seem like its just the server config?

quaint jewel May 8, 2019, 2:15 PM

#

It's the logfile

#

RPT==Report

plucky kettle May 8, 2019, 2:16 PM

#

Could i PM you with a screenshot of what i think youre asking for?

quaint jewel May 8, 2019, 2:16 PM

#

You can just PM me the whole file ^^

#

Screenshots of text usually doesn't make much sense

#

Well we don't even need to scroll down to the modlist in line 550 or check the list of loaded pbo's right before that.
Line 3:
== "C:\TCAFiles\Users\hazelb\65013\arma3server.exe" -ip=xxx -port=2302 -noPause -noSound "-cfg=A3DS\basic.cfg" "-config=A3DS\server.cfg" "-profiles=A3DS" -world=empty
no -mod parameter

#

@plucky kettle ^

plucky kettle May 8, 2019, 2:20 PM

#

Right okay so in host havoc i see exactly what this line is, i cant edit is so what we do is a "custom command line" I'll drop you screenshots of that for context

#

So what im gathering then is its just loading our default one not the custom one?

quaint jewel May 8, 2019, 2:22 PM

#

I guess so

#

I don't know host havoc

plucky kettle May 8, 2019, 2:22 PM

#

Well you've still been a great help regardless! Now that I've narrowed down the problem i can put in a support ticket with Havoc and they'll hopefully be able to tell us how to enable it, thank you so much!

round lance May 8, 2019, 2:23 PM

#

wait, isn't putting the " before the -mod possibly an issue too?

#

in regards to this: "-mod=@CBA_A3;@RHSUSAF;@RHSAFRF;@Achilles;"

#

pretty sure it should be -mod="@CBA_A3;@RHSUSAF;@RHSAFRF;@Achilles;"

quaint jewel May 8, 2019, 2:24 PM

#

no

plucky kettle May 8, 2019, 2:24 PM

Im not able to edit that anyway

quaint jewel May 8, 2019, 2:24 PM

round lance May 8, 2019, 2:24 PM

#

Ah, good to know.

quaint jewel May 8, 2019, 2:24 PM

I think -mod="@mod1";"@mod2" might also be valid 🤔

plucky kettle May 8, 2019, 2:27 PM

#

I am so mad, I've got it working Dedmen, there is literally a button to enable the custom command line which is like tucked away to the side that myself and my friend somehow missed, a quick google of the issue you found though told me thankfully im not the first one to do it 😂 thank you so much!

@novel quartz we're no devs, no more mod ping for this...if you need a kick or ban on the other hand...

novel quartz May 8, 2019, 6:08 PM

Why allow members to mod ping then?

"it hasn't been fixed" it's not "one error" as you said yourself, it's a very generic error, there might be thousands of reasons behind that same message.

Any advice? I already tried closing and reopeing

this is not to do with arma, but I thought to ask here cause maybe someone can help me. I have look at all the solutions but nothing is working. I have a mac and a bluetooth mouse, it keeps connecting, but never connects

i keep getting errors when it comes to the game running out of memory and therefore crashing instantly. This will be while playing normal vanilla multiplayer and it never used to do this. i have 16GB of DDR4 RAM and 8GB VRAM. any idea why?

tender stirrup May 11, 2019, 10:40 AM

#

Well... The last patch "fixed" my FPS related problem but created another one. Every time I press a key game freezes, first the video stops, then the sound. Freeze is as long as the time I've been pressing the key. I can't do virtually anything. Performance and Profiling builds don't help. They work normal, just like the one patch ago. I was told that it means that my problems will be solved in this patch but they aren't fixed. I have a video showcasing my problem.

round lance May 11, 2019, 12:47 PM

#

@rustic pelican try setting up system memory and video memory up in the parameters section of the arma 3 launcher.

#

@tender stirrup try using the task manager and seeing if anything happens whilst you press the button and the game freezes. You can make the task manager always visible which is helpful in such a situation.

tender stirrup May 11, 2019, 1:29 PM

#

Processor usage goes down from ~25% (used by Arma) to ~1%, nothing more.

round lance May 11, 2019, 1:35 PM

And memory/GPU usage?

rustic pelican May 11, 2019, 1:47 PM

#

@round lance i tried both setting and unsetting those, no fix

tender stirrup May 11, 2019, 1:47 PM

#

Uh... 100% GPU? It's pretty weird, because profiling uses 100% too but works fine.

round lance May 11, 2019, 1:50 PM

@rustic pelican does this happen on a specific server or on all of them?

rustic pelican May 11, 2019, 1:50 PM

#

any and all

#

will just suddenly freeze, tab out and give me the windows error box saying something along the lines of "Error loading texture - not enough memory"

#

last i checked, 16GB is more than enough, considering i have played for years on 8

round lance May 11, 2019, 1:52 PM

#

try using the 32bit version of arma and see if that helps.

#

@tender stirrup 100% GPU might be an issue. other games function fine on your setup?

tender stirrup May 11, 2019, 1:53 PM

#

Yes. Arma worked like a charm until update 1.90. I have GTX960 4GB, and I've played on it for like 3 years by now

round lance May 11, 2019, 1:54 PM

#

guessing you tried setting up Video Memory parameter up by now?

#

or is it not helping?

tender stirrup May 11, 2019, 2:00 PM

#

I did one update ago, it didn't help... But that was one update ago. I've checked it, and it actually worked now! I enabled 32bit version and it worked, now I have to check on 64bit. Anyway, thanks for help!!!

#

Well, it works only on 32bit but that's good anyway.

fringe salmon May 11, 2019, 2:02 PM

#

The issue is the 32 bit one will still exhibit the 3fps bug once it runs out of RAM, it might not be viable past an hour or two of gameplay. Although maybe the script fix has improved that somewhat, not sure if the latest version of the game still has an obvious memory leak or not.

quaint jewel May 11, 2019, 2:07 PM

#

64bit also get's the 3fps bug if you don't have enough ram ¯_(ツ)_/¯

tender stirrup May 11, 2019, 2:08 PM

#

8GB of RAM is enough I guess?

quaint jewel May 11, 2019, 2:08 PM

#

for me not even 16gb is enough with firefox open in background 😄

round lance May 11, 2019, 2:08 PM

pretty sure the 32bit only allows up to 4gb of RAM enabled, no?

regardless, at least it works

If your running windows 32 bit i suggest looking up how to get windows 64 bit for free

round lance May 12, 2019, 1:16 AM

#

the problem isn't running windows 32 bit

#

because the majority of PCs run 64bit nowadays, as long as your computer is for gaming it is almost guaranteed to be 64bit

#

it's just memory leak issues on the 64bit version of arma.

blissful bramble May 12, 2019, 12:00 PM

#

It's irrespective of game settings. https://feedback.bistudio.com/T121534

#

What we've been able to determine is that it's due to the order in which a class with hiddenSelectionsMaterial is loaded before the original class that has the .p3d's material paths

#

it's the opposite of the hiddenSelectionsMaterials not loading at all

#

Weird thing is, it can effect other models in the same .pbo that share materials

Once I touch a AI vehicle with zeus it doesn't move anymore, even when I remote control and try to go full speed it doesn't move, like the clutch is not engaged, turning engine off and back on fixed it.

I'll check the previous legacy branch and report it I guess

fringe salmon May 13, 2019, 3:53 PM

#

What we found with this is it is partly dependent on the waypoint. Sometimes changing the waypoint will make the vehicles move. Something definitely changed with the last version to make it behave slightly differently but this bug has been around for a while.

#

I think maybe the underlying issue is the pathfinding sometimes being broken as infantry can't get to a particular point but if you give them an intermediary waypoint they can go to that and then the original location. I would not be surprised to see this be the same bug and its already on the feedback tracker and has been for years

So server requires a mod you don’t have maybe?

dense valley May 17, 2019, 8:20 PM

#

I already played that server today

fringe salmon May 17, 2019, 8:20 PM

#

And what exactly this proves?

#

Server admin can change config in between restarts

#

7y is a ww2 assets mod pack

dense valley May 17, 2019, 8:22 PM

#

@wise barn Like I though, of course doing it again won't work.

Just from server browser

The server is [SG] Exile Chernarus

use the launcher browser only. it tells you what mods you need

and loads them if you have them

I already downloaded the 7y ww2 mod, but now it switched to other msg

dense valley May 17, 2019, 8:55 PM

#

wow thank you

#

How do you explain then that I managed to play this server today not too many hours ago

wise barn May 17, 2019, 8:55 PM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

fringe salmon May 17, 2019, 8:55 PM

#

I never downloaded mods
The server is [SG] Exile Chernarus
you cant join it because Chernarus is a mod but you never downloaded mods

dense valley May 17, 2019, 8:55 PM

#

I don't think the admin added that many mods under couple hours, and just today

#

But I managed to play this server today!

fringe salmon May 17, 2019, 8:56 PM

#

and you saw Chernarus map?

wise barn May 17, 2019, 8:56 PM

#

or it was a server with a similar naming. no idea...

#

whatever, it's working now

dense valley May 17, 2019, 8:57 PM

#

Only that server because I marked it with a star, and I only joined there

#

Do you play servers that require mods? And you need to download the mods every new server?

wise barn May 17, 2019, 8:58 PM

#

yes and no
yes, i play heavily modded servers
no, once the mods are downloaded you don't need to download them again for another server

#

the launcher checks if the required mods are already on your system. if they are, no problem. if not, you get the window you just posted

dense valley May 17, 2019, 9:08 PM

#

So everytime I am going to join a server, I should do it from the launcher, and that way it will only load the mods needed for that server? Does it matter if I load heavy mods that are not needed for specific server?

@mighty pier sent you a dm

sudden cipher May 17, 2019, 11:46 PM

#

hiya

#

has anything changed since last update with key binds?

#

basically for the past week in game i noticed i can use freelook fine on foot, but in plane or heli im stuck in freelook, meaning no mouse input to steering

#

so flying with only keys. impossible for me

#

any idea?

#

my freelook key works fine on foot

#

cant see any update notes etc

#

is it a known issue?

frail pike May 17, 2019, 11:48 PM

#

yeah I've had this aswell

#

Not sure what it is

sudden cipher May 17, 2019, 11:49 PM

#

i use V as a custom key for freelook, which is bound to my mouse thumb button

#

same setup since arma 1

#

only time this ever failed before was a mouse drive crash, and the nfreelook didnt work on foot as well obviously

#

so this is really odd

#

resetting the key to num * also didnt help

mighty pier May 18, 2019, 6:52 AM

#

hold alt or double tap alt to toggle free look mode works fine for me...

sudden cipher May 18, 2019, 7:07 AM

#

yeah doesn't fix it

#

so wth happened in the controls since last update?

#

as i certainly didn't change anything in my setup

rustic tusk May 18, 2019, 7:08 AM

#

so let's just ask the most basic question

#

did you accidentally turn on vehicle freelook

sudden cipher May 18, 2019, 7:08 AM

#

running with no mods, and my normal (custom) keybinds i've used since arma 3 came out, i cannot turn off freelook in aircraft

rustic tusk May 18, 2019, 7:08 AM

#

because there's a option to just turn that on

sudden cipher May 18, 2019, 7:08 AM

#

is there?

rustic tusk May 18, 2019, 7:08 AM

#

ye

#

lemme boot up the game and check where the setting is

#

but i'm entirely confident it exists

sudden cipher May 18, 2019, 7:09 AM

#

ok doing same, and thanks! it's driving me nuts

rustic tusk May 18, 2019, 7:10 AM

#

main menu options game

#

vehicle freelook

#

🤔

sudden cipher May 18, 2019, 7:13 AM

try it again and if it doesn't seem to work, make sure the parameters aren't reading from another server.cfg that isn't the one you modified.

if people are getting kicked you can also try looking into verifySignatures

Running the Arma Standard game launcher - when press Play (With Mods) I get as far as running up the battleye and then I get an error

Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file.  You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the file```

Only recently started - can run the file manually but then the mods etc do not load - Have verified twice - uninstalled and reinstalled - also get the same if I use the A3Launcher

SS13 is pretty good, but on topic, you tried setting up launcher parameters?(system memory, video memory, etc.)

Also 32-bit ArmA 3 might be good to try.

no problem.

and i don't know why but it seems like 32bit and 64bit have different fixes applied.

mighty pier May 20, 2019, 6:33 AM

#

@autumn summit By turning all the video settings right down you may have passed more load to the CPU which arma already likes to munch away at as we all know. So, using Geforce Experience change to optimised settings and then in custom change the slider to best performance over quality. Also make sure any clock speed settings like turbo and mem frequency settings you can change are turned up.

mighty pier May 21, 2019, 2:03 PM

#

You need to hit up exile discord addon support for extdb3 and 64 bit server exe for exile. But for exile that's only really worth it if you have a full server. Even then, the difference is negligible.
You need to override and edit a significant number of exile server code files to make it work with 64bit server

sand badger May 24, 2019, 6:00 AM

#

ok, how? when I attempt to delete the module it says 'insufficient resources'

strong steeple May 24, 2019, 6:14 AM

#

dude

#

You remove it from the mission.

#

I.E. Go into the editor and delete AliVE modules from your mission to begin with.

#

And consider reading up on the addons and what they do if you implement them in your mission next time.

sand badger May 24, 2019, 6:22 AM

#

dude

#

" turn it off as a zues?"

#

consider reading before being condescending

strong steeple May 24, 2019, 6:47 AM

#

You can't, that's why I told you the way to do delete it

#

You're basically asking "I've loaded this mod, now how do I magically un-load it from my zeus interface?"

#

Just don't put down the modules in the first place if you don't want it to be working

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

sand badger May 24, 2019, 7:26 AM

#

the server admin did it, im trying to stop the bleeding as it severely interferes with mission making for our zues'

strong steeple May 24, 2019, 7:31 AM

#

bleeding?

#

You mean with blood?

sand badger May 24, 2019, 7:38 AM

#

oh, you must not be a native English speaker. It's like a term of phrase we use, for like scrambling to undo a fuck up essentially. its grinded our zues' to a halt as random AI spawn everywhere our players walk, babies screaming, car alarm sounds, dogs barking, random asian and russian radio sounds. you can imagine how frustrating it would be to attempt to make a mission with all that going on.

strong steeple May 24, 2019, 7:51 AM

#

Oh right, just ask the server admin to take off the AliVE modules in the mission

#

It's not something you can disable outside the editor

#

I always keep Zeus Game Master (Zeus-centered) missions and my AliVE (zeus-assisted) missions separate to avoid such situations

sand badger May 24, 2019, 7:56 AM

#

ahh, ok. interesting.

strong steeple May 24, 2019, 7:56 AM

#

AliVE isn't a switch-on switch-off mod. It provides the battlefield from start to finish 😄

#

alternatively ask the server admin to only delete the OPCOM-, mil/civ objective- and civilian modules. That way you can enjoy things like the combat support/blufor tracker etc without AliVE creating the battlefield

sand badger May 24, 2019, 7:58 AM

#

yeah, I was hoping I could at least disable the random AI spawning, and orchestra of random sounds

strong steeple May 24, 2019, 7:59 AM

#

the sounds I'm not sure about if you can disable that without completely shutting down the civilian spawn

#

But yes, delete the OPCOM-, mil/civ objective- and civilian modules and the mentioned issues won't appear again

sand badger May 24, 2019, 8:00 AM

#

ok, he's unfortunately the only one that can do that and he's offline. Guess we'll wait

strong steeple May 24, 2019, 8:01 AM

well, if you have FTP access to the server there is a way to do it

#

I do, but TCADMIN is not showing me the server. Love it when the stars align like that.

strong steeple May 24, 2019, 8:01 AM

#

every time you play a mission, your game downloads an exact copy of the mission (somewhere in the appdata)

#

Hello everyone.
The following issue has been bothering us for years but I never cared to look for a fix :
Vanilla and moded SMGs sometimes are not heard in MP by players getting shot at (all they'll hear is the bullet impact). Vanilla examples : ADR, Vermin etc ...
It seems like it only happens when a certain (unknown) amount of players are in the game. a simple 2 players will not trigger the issue.
Please ping me if you have any info or find any.

Hey guys, I just bought a new hotas (Thrustmaster T16000 FCS) and I'm having a horrible time trying to map throttles and heli collective properly.

#

My collective works only in the range of somewhere between 25% and 75%, and my throttle on jets only goes from 0%-50%

#

I've been going over google and the forums, but the best I could find was "is it mapped correctly" which I think it is...

#

anyone else encounter this problem?

round lance May 24, 2019, 8:23 PM

#

did you try seeing if it has a preset and using that?

stone mango May 24, 2019, 8:25 PM

#

preset for the thrustmaster software or the scheme thing that's inside Arma

round lance May 24, 2019, 8:27 PM

#

scheme thing.

stone mango May 24, 2019, 8:27 PM

#

there's one for the joystick but not the throttle

#

the joystick's working fine tho

#

okay I tried the joystick preset and now something weird happened.... I can get about half my throttle from the throttle on my hot, and about 40% more from the slider on the joystick itself

#

so I have to use the throttle and the slider to get up to like 90%

#

okay I've figured it out

#

LOL this is weird

#

if you bind more than one joystick/throttle to the same control (I had my old one bound there) then it will divide the amount of throttle you can input per joystick by the amount of joysticks you have bound... if that makes sense

#

so if you have 2 inputs bound to the throttle/collective then each will give you 50% of the throttle, (so to get full throttle you need both of them set to full)

#

if you have 3 you get 33% on each etc.

#

I can only imagine the horrible driver code that led to this mess

Hey guys, sorry if I'm interrupting the current troubleshooting topic. I need some help with joining servers and the "kicked from game" message. I've spent the last week browsing forums for solutions but haven't had any luck. If someone would be willing to help, I can explain the problem in detail along with fixes that I've tried.

what servers?
is it all servers or just certain ones?

supple cipher May 24, 2019, 11:01 PM

#

99% of servers. I've tried using both the Arma 3 Launcher as well as the A3Launcher. When browsing servers in Arma 3 Launcher just a few minutes ago, I noticed something. The only servers with green dots available to join are ones that have no expansions. All others are red except for some with the question mark. I do not own any expansions. However, I understand I should still be able to play on servers using them regardless, as I have played online before.

round lance May 24, 2019, 11:07 PM

#

you could try making sure you aren't running mods, or anything extra on launch parameters for the game.

supple cipher May 24, 2019, 11:10 PM

#

@round lance I haven't done that, but I was hoping that would be a sort of last resort since I'm in a rural area and get 9Mb/s max. It takes quite a while to download a full game. :(

#

Yeah I tried using both A3Launcher which should do that for me, as well as the Arma 3 Launcher and launching with no mods

round lance May 24, 2019, 11:11 PM

#

9 MB/s download is pretty good, all things considered.

#

as long as that's the download speed on steam.

#

if it includes mods to download, then that's a problem.

supple cipher May 24, 2019, 11:12 PM

#

Yeah it's not too bad. The download speed on steam is in MB rather than Mb, and that is about 1.2MB/s max

I'll go ahead and uninstall it and redownload, that's probably the right solution in my case. I have just been holding out for a quicker solution but it's costed me more time lol. Also I have tried a few different searches but haven't found any of the solutions to help. Most usually say its mods or battleye.

Do I need to go into my files and delete everything or will clicking 'uninstall' on Steam do the job? Sorry, if you can't tell I'm a PC noob as well as Arma noob.

Copy that. I'm going to try one more thing before I uninstall. I'm getting a message "Files 'addons\77furycop.pbo', are not signed by a key accepted by this server." (There were other files ending in .pbo but I just wrote the first for example) If I understand, it's basically telling me that I have mods enabled that the server doesn't use, is that correct?

uncut trellis May 24, 2019, 11:41 PM

#

yes

#

use the arma launcher to join game

#

it should enable only the mods the server is running

supple cipher May 24, 2019, 11:42 PM

#

So I'm thinking that somehow those files got put into the wrong place. Because I specifically chose to launch arma without mods or DLC through the Arma 3 launcher.

#

@uncut trellis I have tried launching using both Arma launcher and A3Launcher, also I am trying to join vanilla servers, just to be sure it's not a mod issue.

uncut trellis May 24, 2019, 11:44 PM

did you accidentally extract a mod into your arma folder?

uncut trellis May 24, 2019, 11:45 PM

#

well thats your problem

round lance May 24, 2019, 11:45 PM

#

and oh yeah, pretty sure A3Launcher modifies your launch parameters.

supple cipher May 24, 2019, 11:46 PM

#

But yes, when I download them through A3Launcher, it also shows "Steam Workshop Content" in my Steam downloads

#

I've taken a look at that as well, and the only thing I've changed in launch parameters is the "no logo, splash, etc" that everyone suggests.

#

@round lance I think you may be right that I extracted a mod into my arma folder. I watched a video on how to get and use mods and followed it. One step was to create a new folder within the Arma 3 folder, and make that the path for mod downloads in A3Launcher. I did that, and it wouldn't work, saying I didnt have the mods required. So I took all of the mods and just put them in the Arma 3 folder. Then I played on a DayZ server successfully so I believed I had done it right.

#

🤦

paper monolith May 24, 2019, 11:54 PM

@azure palm Thank you, that was the issue. They should really update the Wiki and add that detail.

let's see. I just did one the other day and it was 54.7mb download, 2.6mb upload, latency was 39ms.

#

I mean I'm not expecting miracles, but I was hoping it would be at least playable you know?

#

What else might control ping besides my internet speeds?

golden sierra May 29, 2019, 10:18 PM

#

the server browser tends to kill modems/routers that can't handle a ton of UDP connections

#

that increases the ping

#

I assume you also got a new modem so I guess that's where the difference is

alpine thunder May 29, 2019, 10:19 PM

#

so what it is showing is higher then in really is if my modem is poor?

golden sierra May 29, 2019, 10:19 PM

#

if it's running on it's limits, yes

#

once the connections timeout the ping usually drops back to normal

#

IF that is the problem 😛

#

hmm, I have a hugues ht2000w if that matters

golden sierra May 29, 2019, 10:21 PM

#

not to me ^^

#

where are you located?

alpine thunder May 29, 2019, 10:23 PM

#

East coast USA

#

100 miles or so from DC

golden sierra May 29, 2019, 10:25 PM

#

try pinging 85.190.157.210

#

that's an official BI server in the US

alpine thunder May 29, 2019, 10:25 PM

#

ok

#

well, it's better than 807 😁

quaint jewel May 29, 2019, 10:28 PM

#

Wow.. I'm in germany and I get 155ms to that server.
You are in US and almost get the same.. wtf

golden sierra May 29, 2019, 10:29 PM

#

144ms for me from the Netherlands 😛

alpine thunder May 29, 2019, 10:29 PM

#

Well I using satellite internet (It's the only option I have where I live currently)

quaint jewel May 29, 2019, 10:29 PM

#

oof. That explains it

alpine thunder May 29, 2019, 10:30 PM

#

Yeah but it was satellite before as well 😛

golden sierra May 29, 2019, 10:32 PM

#

I guess changing plans on satellite won't affect ping much since there's still the travel time from earth to space and back

#

Elon Musk will save you ^^

#

though, according to wikipedia the average latency for sat is 638ms so you seem to be doing well

alpine thunder May 29, 2019, 10:34 PM

#

yeah it's not bad. Maybe I'm just unlucky today...

uncut trellis May 29, 2019, 10:49 PM

#

Solution, get Musk hook a cable from your house to the sat and to the server.

I think it writes to C:\ so you'll need that

crisp cove May 29, 2019, 11:04 PM

#

knotty bane May 29, 2019, 11:05 PM

I really do not appreciate Arma deleting my local mods, but for some reason it did.

wise barn May 30, 2019, 12:18 AM

#

since your local mod folders where just a cover up for midget porn, i'm totally with arma on this

#

😉

half notch May 30, 2019, 12:28 AM

#

yeah, but the annoying part is that it deleted the entire folder for an addon, including the stuff I had unpacked and edited

wise barn May 30, 2019, 12:29 AM

#

this is indeed annoying. another reason to never have working data in mod folders, just symlinks

Anyone aware of an issue with Zeus via steam64ID work when a player is in a unit slot, but not in a zeus virtual slot on a dedicated server?

Seems to occur 100% of the time with mods and sometimes in Vanilla but haven't managed to figure out exactly what causes it.

fringe salmon May 30, 2019, 5:14 AM

#

@paper monolith how do you mean?

paper monolith May 30, 2019, 5:35 AM

#

Really don't know how to explain it better.

There is a zeus curator module down, using the steamID as the owner. On the dedicated server when you jump into a normal unit slot it works fine, aka you have zeus access
However, doing the same with a zeus slot never works. Has no access to the zeus interface. Only work around i have so far is the player in the zeus slot respawns.

I'm 60%-70% sure it is probably a mod thing but can't seem to locate what one or why -_-

#

Just wondering if anyone has come across a similar issue.

fringe salmon May 30, 2019, 5:38 AM

#

Is this module that uses steam id vanilla or a mod?

paper monolith May 30, 2019, 5:39 AM

#

Say again?

#

It's the vanilla curator/game master module.

#

Modules > Zeus > Game Master etc

fringe salmon May 30, 2019, 5:40 AM

#

Ok thanks, gonna check

paper monolith May 30, 2019, 5:41 AM

#

Works fine in eden/locally. Just on a dedicated server with a few mods it has a hiccup. Thanks.

@quaint jewel and anyone else who might know. Seems there was a 2,3gb update to dev branch today, however my problem still persists.

#

After download/install steam will spend a considerable amount of time validating, in which everything (at-least to my knowledge) is downloaded. If I launch the game during this, things are missing, any string of text shown in the interface fx.

#

Apart from that the game seems to wokr as normal, though the new Livonia map is not there (it should be on dev branch?)
