@placid light I recommend using the launchers Server browser, and trying out a mode like Invade & Annex or King of the Hill if you want to start blind

desert isle Jun 26, 2019, 7:38 PM

#

Which is why no one ever recommends starting blind.

Mine doin sane thing...says d3d error and everything is updated

marble plaza Jun 27, 2019, 5:38 PM

#

what's the issue

tight wadi Jun 27, 2019, 5:57 PM

#

can someone help with a problem we have in our mission, that not always, but sometimes, some players don't respawn at base or carrier, but somewhere on the island?

#

we use this
#ifdef LOGS
diag_log format["Spawn player player at: %1", _place];
#endif

if (surfaceIsWater _place) then
{
player setPosASL _place;
}
else
{
_place = [_place, 0, 5, 1, 0, 0.25, 0, [], [_place, _place]] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;
player setPos _place;
};

#

0, 5, where 5 is 5 meters away from assigned position if obstacle is present to avoid spawn in textures

marble plaza Jun 27, 2019, 6:00 PM

#

can i have the full code

tight wadi Jun 27, 2019, 6:00 PM

#

i don't think so

marble plaza Jun 27, 2019, 6:00 PM

#

what

#

shouldn't it be !surfaceIsWater _place

#

cause at the moment you're trying to spawn players only where there's water

#

oh i see

tight wadi Jun 27, 2019, 6:01 PM

#

it's for carrier

marble plaza Jun 27, 2019, 6:01 PM

#

yep

#

you have waterMode set to 0

#

which means the place won't be in water

#

although maybe that only filters if it's in the water, not on top of it

quaint jewel Jun 27, 2019, 6:02 PM

#

have you tried adding logging. to check what findSafePos returns and such?

tight wadi Jun 27, 2019, 6:03 PM

#

see here. I should have respawned in the yellow recnagle an the airport, but instead respawn near it

📎 Arma3_x64_2019-06-27_20-00-30-744.jpg

#

when we check the coordinates they are correct

marble plaza Jun 27, 2019, 6:04 PM

#

so setPos is having the issue

tight wadi Jun 27, 2019, 6:04 PM

#

but if they were, why then am I at an other place

marble plaza Jun 27, 2019, 6:04 PM

#

i believe setPos will automatically move to avoid conflict

quaint jewel Jun 27, 2019, 6:05 PM

#

"i believe setPos will automatically move to avoid conflict" no

marble plaza Jun 27, 2019, 6:05 PM

#

hmm maybe another command

quaint jewel Jun 27, 2019, 6:05 PM

#

have you tried adding logging to make sure that every line of your code runs and returns what you expect?

tight wadi Jun 27, 2019, 6:05 PM

#

or sometimes some players even respawn on the little island north-west, where we have "virtual respawn"

#

will see for this. I'm not the one who writes the mission itself

#

could it be possible that when respawning it tries to avoid obstacles like plastic blue toilets at main airport and because of this I respawn else where?

#

it says to respawn 5 meters away if obstacle encountered

#

and what I also have observed, is before one respawns at main respawn, if you're at respawn, you can see a body appear (no nickname) standing at respawn and then it disappears to respawn in form of a player with a nickname at this same respawn or anywhere else on the map, where it shouldn't

#

haven't encountered such problem on other (PvE/PvP) servers, when you resapwn (ocassionally) not where you should

#

it occures only when connecting

#

if you choose ESC->respawn, there is no problem anymore

#

you will always respawn in correct place

devout shore Jun 27, 2019, 8:54 PM

So like i have an issue with terrain builder, whenever i open my project then try to move around the map (NOT IN BULLDOZER) I have really bad fps lag, like its completely slow, is there any fix for this?

#

marble plaza Jun 27, 2019, 9:07 PM

Try running arma as admin.

#

Specifically to do so, quit steam completely and run it as admin, then run arma normally.

#

Make sure to verify game file integrity, and that you actually do anti-virus scans every now and then(had this be an issue before with somebody)

any idea why the arma 3 dlc is showing red on expansions on server listing? the jets for instance are not in the traders

round lance Jun 28, 2019, 6:28 PM

#

probably not installed?

#

make sure that on arma 3 in your steam library, the dlcs in question have a checkmark next to them.

#

and that it also says "installed"

#

oh wait, you said server listing, right.

#

are you talking about hosting a server or...?

ionic geode Jun 28, 2019, 6:31 PM

#

they are all installed, im using GTX servers (rented) they are on the server files but dont appear in the game

round lance Jun 28, 2019, 6:39 PM

server hosting isn't my expertise, apologies.

wet summit Jun 28, 2019, 7:50 PM

#

So I own the Arma 3 tank DLC and I'm on the 3rd mission called "Terminal Defiance", I got to a point in the mission were 2 NATO slammers break through a line of defense, I killed the two slammers and have been sitting around for around 10-15 minutes and haven't gotten an objective or radio communication or anything new. I have reverted and redone the story in hope of it fixing but it hasn't, not quite sure why.

#

Also have tried going back to last save.

grim tinsel Jun 28, 2019, 7:59 PM

#

Have you checked if you have any other objectives?

wet summit Jun 28, 2019, 8:00 PM

#

Just defend the Western side

#

And I already did that.

#

Killed the 3 slammers and 1 AA.

grim tinsel Jun 28, 2019, 8:02 PM

And have you made sure that theres nothing else like infantry there?

Or vehicles/aircraft

I'm running into an issue where if I order a UAV to land after a mission to rearm and refuel. Once the UAV lands and taxis in it will shut down engines. I service the aircraft with ordinance and fuel. Then after all of that he will no longer carry out commands issued in the UAV terminal or anywhere else, its almost like the AI turns off completely and is unresponsive. I have tried unselecting autonomos and reselecting it, I've tried to install towing scripts to see if moving the aircraft to another location has any effect. I am trying it with vanilla only and no mods. Any ideas?

Hi all. I have a trouble with my mod and signature checking.
I created private and public (server) key DSCreateKey.exe WASP_A3_NoGrass.
Adds WASP_A3_NoGrass.bikey to key directory of the server. And sign pbo with private key: WASP_NoGrass.pbo.WASP_A3_NoGrass.bisign
But when i try to connect to the server it says: pbo signed with key which not accepted by server.

I'm having an issue where a dedicated server on Linux only reads certain pbos within addons that are loaded and working (except for those specific pbos). I've tried repairing the addons on my PC and sending them over again. Yes, the names of every single pbo is lowercase. An example is ace_medical, from @ace. Ace is overall working, but ace medical has an issue in the server console and has severe bugs ingame. Anyone ever experienced this or have a solution? Any help is appreciated.

marble plaza Jun 29, 2019, 7:53 PM

#

https://github.com/acemod/ACE3/issues/3137

#

ACE loads some functionality from DLLs, which are Windows specific

#

and don't worry that's not common knowledge I googled and I'm not 100% sure that's still an issue

fringe salmon Jun 29, 2019, 7:54 PM

what are the errors?

load paths?

case sensitivity is something most people won't even have considered when writing their stuff unfortunately

It's the

#

And yes, like I said

#

Everything is lowercase

#

I checked every file and folder...

#

3 times

#

And it's not load path, since the rest of ace actually works well.

Does anyone have information as to how to get rid of the message " you have been kicked from game" it only happens when I attempt to log into non-official servers, I have removed the game as well as the mods used but to no avail any help with this issue would be very helpful !

uncut trellis Jun 30, 2019, 5:23 AM

#

You may be lacking other mods the server requires. Or have wrong version of the game or something else. Are you using the Steams Arma Launcher to join servers?

I have used both Steam and A3 launchers verified both mods in Steam and in A3 only loaded mods for the games I wanted to play uninstalled about 4 times now and even uninstalled Steam clear all game mods !

uncut trellis Jun 30, 2019, 8:10 AM

#

Does it do so in all non official servers you try? Perhaps some servers need you to be whitelisted. Or for some reason you are banned from them?

#

Also don't ask on many channels.

hey guys so I downloaded the official thirsk missions for arma 3 from the official page but i get errors. can someone DM me so I can send the screenshots?

"official thirsk mission" ? Thirsk is not an official/vanilla map
"official page" what page?

not official as in made by the ArmA developers

#

what are the errors @fringe salmon ?

quaint jewel Jun 30, 2019, 2:41 PM

These missions were last updated literally 9 years ago @fringe salmon

#

no wonder they might be broken

marble plaza Jun 30, 2019, 2:41 PM

oh wow

quaint jewel Jun 30, 2019, 2:42 PM

#

Actually.. arma 3 wasn't even out back then

#

also I don't even know of a A3 thirsk version..

#

your link goes to the Arma 2 version

fringe salmon Jun 30, 2019, 2:42 PM

#

i know

#

but thirsk works fine in arma 3

quaint jewel Jun 30, 2019, 2:42 PM

#

If you know, why are you telling us that you got the official arma 3 missions

#

To cut it short, 9 year old missions for a DIFFERENT GAME not working, is nothing really unexpected

fringe salmon Jun 30, 2019, 2:53 PM

i see

loud wadi Jun 30, 2019, 3:46 PM

#

yes I could rebind all the 40 something keybinds

round lance Jun 30, 2019, 3:46 PM

#

try using another USB port.

loud wadi Jun 30, 2019, 3:46 PM

#

but I really don't want to do that every time arma decides to forget

round lance Jun 30, 2019, 3:46 PM

I had this happen, usually if you put the joystick into a different port arma will think it's a different joystick.

silent vapor Jun 30, 2019, 3:53 PM

can i get some help about this?

loud wadi Jun 30, 2019, 3:53 PM

do I have to restart the game everytime I replug it?

"battleye services intstallation failed"

if i join a server my game stays stuck on the arma 3 loading screen, any fix?

how do you join?

ingame server browser?

fringe salmon Jun 30, 2019, 3:55 PM

no, through the launcher

which loading screen? before slot selection?

after clicking the join server

quaint jewel Jun 30, 2019, 3:57 PM

#

so before selecting your slot?

#

then that means the server doesn't let you connect, it might be offline or frozen

fringe salmon Jun 30, 2019, 3:58 PM

ive tried few servers with peoples in it, but its same

quaint jewel Jun 30, 2019, 3:58 PM

loading any mods?

@loud wadi you can just click refresh/detect in the controller list everytime you replug it.

alright, I'll give that a try

@fringe salmon Maybe try a non official server, something like liberation or combat patrol should be easy to join

@frigid gorge i just tried that but its the same, stuck in the loading screen :(

quaint jewel Jun 30, 2019, 4:11 PM

maybe your firewall is blocking arma

Is your pc old? Arma can take awhile to load

didja try the basic stuff?

verifying game files, scanning with anti-virus to make sure no malware or anything's slowing your game down, etc?

#

running steam as admin and then trying to run arma.

You ever get that weird glitch where weapons and vehicles are really low poly? Last night, content from the Jets DLC has that problem

quaint jewel Jun 30, 2019, 5:48 PM

#

yup

#

combines with 3fps?
That'd be the 3fps bug

abstract ruin Jun 30, 2019, 5:49 PM

#

I don't get 3fps though

#

Everything runs normal

quaint jewel Jun 30, 2019, 5:50 PM

🤔
There was a bug with weapons that would sometimes stay low poly. that will be fixed next update. But never heard about that for vehicles outside from 3fps bug

abstract ruin Jun 30, 2019, 5:50 PM

#

I'll see if it happens again next time I play

#

I also have this but on Tanoa where the wind is ear-shatteringly loud

quaint jewel Jun 30, 2019, 5:51 PM

that one sounds like mod

abstract ruin Jun 30, 2019, 5:51 PM

Yeah

quaint jewel Jun 30, 2019, 5:51 PM

#

specifically I remember that from MCC

abstract ruin Jun 30, 2019, 5:52 PM

I assume its the sound mod I have that's doing that. Since the dev build may have messed with it

blissful bramble Jun 30, 2019, 6:04 PM

It would happen on vehicles that used hiddenSelectionsMaterials too. Occasionally happened to parts of the Abrams TUSK in RHS

does anybody know what to do when your Arma 3 doesn't use your GPU but only uses your CPU because i get like 17 fps and i don't like it

round lance Jun 30, 2019, 8:38 PM

#

nvidia GPU or AMD?

fringe salmon Jun 30, 2019, 8:38 PM

#

nvidia

round lance Jun 30, 2019, 8:39 PM

#

open up the Nvidia Control Panel and make sure that your GPU is being used for PhysX in Configure Surround, Phyx.

marble plaza Jun 30, 2019, 8:40 PM

#

and it may be using it but arma's not massively GPU intensive

#

obviously if you're doing really poorly and you have a great rig that's why

round lance Jun 30, 2019, 8:40 PM

#

true aswell, but just to make sure.

marble plaza Jun 30, 2019, 8:40 PM

#

yep defo

quaint jewel Jun 30, 2019, 8:40 PM

#

arma doen't use gpu physx

grim tinsel Jun 30, 2019, 8:40 PM

#

Also play around with the graphics settings

marble plaza Jun 30, 2019, 8:40 PM

#

but bear in mind that low GPU utilisation is not necessarily a good indicator that there's a real issue

round lance Jun 30, 2019, 8:40 PM

#

does it not?

#

wait, why doesn't it?

quaint jewel Jun 30, 2019, 8:41 PM

#

Well he said it uses 100% cpu

#

meaning it's cpu bottlnecked

marble plaza Jun 30, 2019, 8:41 PM

#

because it does a lot of simulation lanker

#

it's less graphics, more simulating physics, AI etc

round lance Jun 30, 2019, 8:42 PM

#

I mean about Physx not using GPU for calculation.

fringe salmon Jun 30, 2019, 8:42 PM

#

wot

marble plaza Jun 30, 2019, 8:43 PM

#

it is a thing

#

but it's not supported in arma apparently

quaint jewel Jun 30, 2019, 8:44 PM

#

because you apparently need to pay for some license for gpu physx stuff

marble plaza Jun 30, 2019, 8:44 PM

#

hmm

#

but not physx in the first place

#

seems like they'd want you to make it work on their gpus

quaint jewel Jun 30, 2019, 8:44 PM

#

also then it would only work on nvidia, but Arma needs to support AMD too so they need cpu physx anyway

fringe salmon Jun 30, 2019, 8:44 PM

can someone explain what i should do like i'm a 5 year old please

down to 20

there'll be an fps difference between playing like a regular co-op scenario

fringe salmon Jun 30, 2019, 9:07 PM

#

60+ fps in single player with high settings

marble plaza Jun 30, 2019, 9:07 PM

#

pretty typical

#

how about in mp?

round lance Jun 30, 2019, 9:08 PM

#

for mp i'd suggest trying one of the official zeus servers.

#

would give you an accurate example of how much fps you should be getting most of the time.

fringe salmon Jun 30, 2019, 9:11 PM

30-40

on some servers my gpu just decides to stop and on some servers he does what he needs to do

does hosting without mods work?

perhaps you are running them/the server wrong, perhaps you have broken mods, perhaps you have conflicting mods, there are lot of possibilities

make sure your mission file is a folder and not a pbo, and try again.

@devout shore includes are broken in 3DEN exported missions. That's a bug since 3DEN came out. You can copy the file into your mission manually and include locally.

round lance Jul 2, 2019, 1:57 PM

#

@golden yoke that is bizarre... Does rebinding work in any other section with the controller?

#

Also the whole include thing was a problem in arma commander missions for a while, but turning missions from pbos to just folders seems to fix it.

it seems like one of my mods has been corrupted

#

https://gyazo.com/b3bf94debeb1dc65c0706e4e3b700f9e

#

going to the mod at its location in the steam folder, being A:\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\107410\1457399028\Addons shows a single addon folder with a single .pbo

i can't delete it or move it because it gives me this error

#

https://gyazo.com/7cb773b7502936af881a0f571cd592bd

#

looking up the error code just says to reinstall windows and things like that, as far as I can discern in the short time I've had to read it

#

things like installation errors and etc

#

Arma 3 and its mods are all contained on an SSD that I recently bought

Would someone have some insight to share on what this is and to get rid of it?
Animation a3\anims_f\data\anim\sdr\gst\gestureempty.rtm not found or empty
Been lately having problems with a game server crashing and every time a crash has occurred that is the last line in the RPT-file before the crash. Like so:

=======================================================
-------------------------------------------------------
Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 00000000
cpu:  Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1271 v3 @ 3.60GHz

uncut trellis Jul 2, 2019, 3:42 PM

#

there is not such file in the A3 data

#

so you cant get rid of the message

#

Im not sure if it comes up with vanilla animations though

#

so are you running a mod with custom skeleton/animation set?

viral cargo Jul 2, 2019, 3:43 PM

#

Only Iron Front (IFA3_AIO_LITE) and CUP Terrains - Core on the server side

uncut trellis Jul 2, 2019, 3:44 PM

#

Iron Front probably has custom gestures. But dont know if that would trigger it. That config line is in the vanilla config though

#

and vanilla data is missing the file

#

which reminds me @distant bane or @tawny crag would you guys be able to add a gestureempty.rtm?

grim tinsel Jul 2, 2019, 3:45 PM

#

Mmh does a mod call for files based on where it wss installed on the server or is there a standard way that mods always do it?

viral cargo Jul 2, 2019, 3:46 PM

#

Can I ping @strange drift here 🤔

grim tinsel Jul 2, 2019, 3:47 PM

wise barn Jul 2, 2019, 3:47 PM

#

CUP Terrains - Core does not call RTMs outside of the own folders

strange drift Jul 2, 2019, 3:48 PM

#

this is an A3 file - unrelated to IFA3 and to any crashes

uncut trellis Jul 2, 2019, 3:49 PM

#

👆

viral cargo Jul 2, 2019, 3:49 PM

#

Well then. Any good ideas how to proceed? Reinstalling the game on the server side probably won't have a desired effect

strange drift Jul 2, 2019, 3:50 PM

#

send Dwarden the crash logs using latest perf build

uncut trellis Jul 2, 2019, 3:50 PM

#

everyones game should produce that error message. It is likely something else

strange drift Jul 2, 2019, 3:50 PM

#

otherwise remove mods step by step/start with vanilla and re-add one by one to narrow down the source

keen sable Jul 2, 2019, 3:54 PM

#

late to the party but it looks like it's calling for a file that doesn't exist, it's possible the line of code calling it has an incorrect file path

#

e.g. its missing a \ or otherwise to complete the file path structure to the right file

viral cargo Jul 2, 2019, 3:55 PM

#

There is a possibility that some script could be calling that file? (Though, why call a file that does not exist in the game in the first place. Or has it existed at some point??)

wise barn Jul 2, 2019, 3:55 PM

#

chances are high

keen sable Jul 2, 2019, 3:55 PM

#

I would surmise

#

it's less that it's missing from the game and more that the file path is wrong

uncut trellis Jul 2, 2019, 4:17 PM

#

no it is literally missing from the files

#

there is no such file

#

anywhere

viral cargo Jul 2, 2019, 4:17 PM

#

Has there been (such a file)?

uncut trellis Jul 2, 2019, 4:17 PM

#

I doubt it

#

and I have looked

viral cargo Jul 2, 2019, 4:18 PM

#

If there has never been then how anything could be looking for it

uncut trellis Jul 2, 2019, 4:20 PM

#

the engine is looking for it

#

for everyone

#

because the line is in the movesCfg config

viral cargo Jul 2, 2019, 4:23 PM

#

I'd think that there would be constant complaints because as far as I understand the issue is global

uncut trellis Jul 2, 2019, 4:24 PM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

quaint jewel Jul 2, 2019, 4:25 PM

#

@viral cargo your crash has absolutely nothing to do with that file.

viral cargo Jul 2, 2019, 4:26 PM

#

What it might be then 🙂

#

I know nothing about anything but that line about the missing or empty file sits so conveniently before the hundreds of lines of crash log

quaint jewel Jul 2, 2019, 4:28 PM

#

it might be: anything

#

but that line about that file is unrelated

silver cypress Jul 2, 2019, 4:39 PM

#

ironfront does use that empty gesture in a script

#

but i don't think its the cause of the issue

#

is this crashing a server or?

quaint jewel Jul 2, 2019, 4:42 PM

#

NO THIS LOG LINE IS NOT RELATED TO THE CRASH

For the 3rd or so time now

I get that but just wanting to be sure because it's my script that calls the empty gesture

viral cargo Jul 2, 2019, 4:47 PM

#

Would certainly like to hear Dedmen's reasoning behind why it could not be the reason for the crash 🙂

silver cypress Jul 2, 2019, 4:47 PM

#

when does it happen anyway

quaint jewel Jul 2, 2019, 4:49 PM

#

Because it's a common/normal message that everyone gets.
Is everyone crashing? no.

viral cargo Jul 2, 2019, 4:49 PM

#

Really difficult to tell Kerc. During today's server crash I was (or my player unit) was sitting in a vehicle doing nothing. Don't know what the other player on the other faction was doing

silver cypress Jul 2, 2019, 4:49 PM

#

ok so it is a server crash, alright it most likely is unrelated then as the script shouldnt be running on the server anyway

#

I'm only asking cuz early on when I was writing it - i had a similar crash but that was due to basically replacing a weapon per frame

Been having a problem with the RPG-42 overshooting. Using the 500m mark has the rocket land about 900m away

#

Tried this with and without mods.

#

I do have my fov increased , but I'm not sure that's the problem because the MAAWS seems unaffected

fringe salmon Jul 4, 2019, 3:41 AM

#

hi , so i have been running an arma 3 dedicated server for a while now. Setup using a commandline and arma 3 server files no external programs. I want to use a command called "-autoinit". It requires the CONFIG_server.cfg file to have the persistance set to "1", and it is. But when i run it, the error says the pereisitance is set to "0". I have my Config file setup with the commandline command "-config=CONFIG_server.cfg" so it should be reading it. My main goal is to make the server automaticly start up with my premade mission every time. When all players are gone it resets. But now matter what i try it doesnt' work. If you could provide some help it would be very much appreciated!

marble plaza Jul 4, 2019, 6:39 AM

#

Since you misspelled it here, are you sure you spelled it 'persistence' in the config?

Hey guys, I have a game-breaking glitch that I could use a hand with. My Field of View (FoV) is stuck in a zoomed in position. I have altered the FoV in the game files and the FoV does not change back to normal. Has anyone else encountered this?

grim tinsel Jul 4, 2019, 8:46 PM

#

And I assume this is still happening after multiple restarts? @polar viper

polar viper Jul 4, 2019, 8:48 PM

#

Yes. I have attempted to restart with and without mods, FoV adjusted and untouched, windowed and fullscreenwindowed. Nothing has changed it. Now, with a new profile started 24 hours ago, the problem was fixed until about 15 minutes of my first post.

#

The problem is a profile to profile thing to my understanding.

#

@grim tinsel Have you see anything like this before?

grim tinsel Jul 4, 2019, 8:55 PM

#

Nope

#

I was thinking it might have been the bug where it stays zoomed in after you zoom in in a scope, but that wouldnt be active after a restart

polar viper Jul 4, 2019, 8:58 PM

#

I never aim into a scope when this glitch happens though. That's the thing that stumps me about this. That and the fact that restarts don't fix it.

grim tinsel Jul 4, 2019, 9:00 PM

#

Yeah

#

And a new profile fixed it for a limited time?

polar viper Jul 4, 2019, 9:03 PM

#

For about a day's worth of time, yes.

grim tinsel Jul 4, 2019, 9:04 PM

#

Did a certain action cause it to start again or was it just random?

polar viper Jul 4, 2019, 9:05 PM

#

Random. Everything was fine then it started again.

grim tinsel Jul 4, 2019, 9:05 PM

#

Mmh whats your screen resolution?

polar viper Jul 4, 2019, 9:06 PM

#

1680x1050, a little less in windowed mode (which is my preferred mode)

grim tinsel Jul 4, 2019, 9:07 PM

#

I doubt that its that then

Could be a mod issue

polar viper Jul 4, 2019, 9:28 PM

#

I unloaded the mods and its still broke.

grim tinsel Jul 4, 2019, 9:29 PM

#

Did you have mods loaded when it broke again?

polar viper Jul 4, 2019, 9:30 PM

#

Yes

#

But it broke while in ACE Arsenal after making 30+ classes.

#

This was never a problem before.

polar viper Jul 4, 2019, 10:16 PM

#

I just tried it again, it actually zooms in upon spawn rather than starting out with zoomed FoV

#

@grim tinsel, I don't mean to keep bugging you but I genuinely don't know what to do.

grim tinsel Jul 4, 2019, 10:20 PM

#

Hm

polar viper Jul 4, 2019, 10:20 PM

#

Like, it starts normal but acts as if I'm pressing a button when I spawn.

#

What a minute...

#

I had a controller plugged in for use in other games.....

#

Gonna test something.

#

@uncut trellis @grim tinsel As it would turn out, my controller was laying face down on the floor which was conflicting with my button input....

#

I'M SO MAD! xD

grim tinsel Jul 4, 2019, 10:30 PM

Hehehe

#

Well guess that mystery is solved!

If you're port forwarding, then disable uPnP

merry shell Jul 6, 2019, 5:06 PM

Turns out the problem was the optional mods. For some reason the server wont let me connect with them.

#

I have their keys in the folder so I got no clue why

round lance Jul 6, 2019, 5:26 PM

#

Should change it in the server.cfg to allow for it, pretty sure.

merry shell Jul 6, 2019, 5:51 PM

#

If you do, I cant find the line I have to add.

round lance Jul 6, 2019, 6:00 PM

Should be verifysignatures

#

You can only keep it on or disable it though(at your own risk, as this means people will be able to get on with any mod).

merry shell Jul 6, 2019, 6:05 PM

#

I have that set to 2, but like I said, I have the keys for client mods on the server but when you try to join with them i get that error i posted above.

#

As soon as you disable the optional mods, it works.

round lance Jul 6, 2019, 6:08 PM

#

Do you have the optional mods actually on the server in the first place, or just their keys?

#

Because from what i know optional mods need to be on the server and enabled aswell.

grim tinsel Jul 7, 2019, 5:00 PM

#

Take a look at the settings for moving your head using the numpad controls

Maybe it thinks that the trigger is also one of the numpad buttons?

rotund marlin Jul 8, 2019, 11:40 AM

Too many issues in 32-bit for me. FPS will tank randomly down to 1 FPS and stay there sometimes. Not to mention certain mods I use for my campaigns require 64-bit.

Which mods require x64? never seen one yet :u

rotund marlin Jul 8, 2019, 11:42 AM

My only issue in 64-bit is the audio in first person, which makes it impossible for me to drive in forced view during one of my group's ops, though I'm hoping they allow 3rd person for driving so it's a non-issue

#

Personal mods from a friend. Was built on 64-bit.

#

He lost the source files so he can't change it even if he wanted to.

quaint jewel Jul 8, 2019, 11:45 AM

Only mods with extensions can be 64bit only

If you're mainly playing as a Jet Pilot I recommend thinking about dropping the graphics settings a bit as well since you most likely wont notice the change super much and it'll likely give you a few extra FPS

I'm getting a keyboard bug where none of the keys work expect for ESC

Only when I hold down ALT the keys work again

It used to happen at random, but its now doing it every time I start the game.

Oddly enough, I can only fix it when I download something from the workshop

Hey guys please help https://www.reddit.com/r/arma/comments/cax3dw/arma_3_quick_play_stuck/

round lance Jul 9, 2019, 8:50 AM

#

First off, you can try playing East Wind as it doesn't need any mods, neither do any of the showcases except the one that requires Apex/Jets DLC

#

Second off, i'd recommend to go on the server browser rather than use quick play because it usually doesn't work very well, and if you want to get into multiplayer quick you can try the official servers category on arma.

Try turning down your graphical options to mid,. rpt is saying you ran out of VRAM,. I guess you have a 3GB 1060 and probably running on high end settings.
In addition Arma3 is a DX11 title, your GPU will run it in DX11 regardless if your GPU supports DX12 or not.

I'm having somewhat of an odd bug. My game doesn't seem to want to load the CBA_MAIN_A3 file anymore after today's cba patch. I tried unsubbing and resubbing on steam workshop and it still doesn't work. I checked and there is a cba_main pbo but no cba_main_a3.

okay, downloading cba from github gives you the file, but not the workshop download. Odd.

Hey, so i got a new pair of headphones, the sennheiser gsp 670, however whenever i launch arma, all sound cuts, even from other apps like spotify.

Any help would be apprechiated!

wise barn Jul 10, 2019, 6:08 PM

not everybody with an USB audio device and running on win10 has this problem. a lot of them actually have no problem. but those who have audio issues with an USB audio device are 99,9% running arma on win10

#

@fringe salmon
so, if you wanna keep your totally overpriced headphones, the only solution i know of is, reverting back to win8.1

#

and btw, it's not just arma that has major audio issues since the creators update in fall 2017.
all my audio gear i used back then had issues (several studio sound cards on USB and FW), and i was unable to work on projects on win10 (nuendo, logic, studio one).

#

so this BS by MS is what keeps me on win8.1 as long as possible

Simplest answer would be "fat fingers". That is, you are inadvertently hitting caps lock, thus hot micing.

Because Caps lock is the default Arma VOIP key

round lance Jul 12, 2019, 1:13 AM

#

first one is easily solvable, create a description.ext for your zeus mission and put in "respawnOnStart = 0;"

#

without the quotations of course.

#

do be warned that this'll make all units spawn instantly where they were placed instead of being put on the respawn screen.

unique tartan Jul 12, 2019, 1:23 AM

#

but...

#

i already have this on @round lance

#

is it conflicting with the multiplayer menu's respawn counter?

#

also, what with the preprocessor failed with error - invalid file name(empty filename)?

round lance Jul 12, 2019, 1:30 AM

#

I have no clue on the second one.

#

And if that solution won't work, try to remove the respawn system from EDEN and perform it through the description.ext only.

#

Aswell as make sure your mission is actually exported as a pbo, and not a folder.

#

If you don't have the Dev or RC branch as your main Steam installation (i.e. you only have it from the Game Updater tool) then it might still treat you like you don't own it. Because the game needs to check with the Steam API that you own the DLC and it can only do that if Steam install is the version that contains the DLC

#

a mod requries CBA, but you don't have CBA (that's what the message says)

i think he has cba files in his arma folder.

#

or at least, some sort of mod that needs them.

That's what I asked 10 minutes ago

#

Sorry I’m not too careful I’m trying to look at the files

@sharp mural uninstall arma and delete EVERYTHING that is left inside the game folder (steamapps/common/Arma 3/) then reinstall it all.

quaint jewel Jul 13, 2019, 11:26 PM

#

or search for cba* in arma folder and delete everything :u

round lance Jul 13, 2019, 11:26 PM

#

might be a mod that requires it though?

quaint jewel Jul 13, 2019, 11:27 PM

#

yeah

#

then afterwards load the correct cba from workshop

round lance Jul 13, 2019, 11:27 PM

#

either way, he extracted mod files into his arma folder.
