Veteran Moderators are the one's you're looking for

#

Anyone with the "Veteran" tag on the right side bar?

grizzled willow
#

^^^ Read again 😂

near pendant
#

I'm not picking up on what you're laying down lol
There is no moderator tag, and I can't find an appropriate channel which is why I asked

grim tinsel
#

theres a veteran moderator tag

#

the orange people under the veteran section

#

Ah. Thank you

Can Anyone Help with mods? i have A few Installed and most of the Weapons with Bolt Action Donèt work anyone know why (Admin)

grizzled willow
#

What do you mean "don't work"

bitter trout
#

The bolt will slide back of fourth if i hold left mouse button but wont load a round to shoot

grizzled willow
#

What mod is it?

bitter trout
#

its CUP weapons

#

and NIArms

#

the only snipers that really work are the vanilla ones for some reason

grim tinsel
#

Does it work fine if you only click once instead of holding?

bitter trout
#

nope

grizzled willow
bitter trout
#

the gun does not function after the first shot

#

i will try this thanks

grizzled willow
#

And make sure your CBA is up to date

bitter trout
#

what is CBAÉ

grizzled willow
grim tinsel
grizzled willow
#

?

#

Oh hahahah

fringe salmon
#

👏

grizzled willow
#

I just saw

#

My bad 😂

fringe salmon
#

is this a simulator of

#

"oh sorry, you need to go to the X department"

grim tinsel

It is

bitter trout
#

Ah I have CBA

grizzled willow
#

Indeed 😆

grim tinsel
#

I can remember the perfect song for this, but its in german

Its about the singer needing a certain form , and being sent from department to department and from government office to government office

grizzled willow
#

#JustARMAthings 🤣

bitter trout
#

@grizzled willow Nope i installed it and it still doesnt work

grizzled willow
#

Try using them one at a time to see which one is causing it

bitter trout
#

like each gunÉ

grizzled willow
#

No, each mod, try them one at a time

bitter trout
#

I did that yesterday

#

it is kina annoying lol

grizzled willow
#

Other verify game cache, try repair mod from the launcher

bitter trout
#

okay

#

just weird because it seems like it is just some mods not all

#

hmmm is like the rifle is only manual loading but doesnt work

grizzled willow
#

That's all I can think of right now, just make sure all your mods are up to date run CBA and verify game cahce, that's the extent of my troubleshooting

ember dune
#

since the contact update, every loadout i have that uses modded items appears as "contain items not part of the arsenal* (even in VR Arsenal) and no loadout can be loaded. any way i can fix this for our server?

grim tinsel
#

@ember dune Yep its been reported and might be fixed with the next hotfix (heh fixing the fix)

#

And Dedmen already created a fix for TFAR, I dont know about other mods though

thank you

Having an issue starting up my arma

says Blocked loading of file 'D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\dxgi.dll'

#

With an application error of it being unable to start correctly

something is blocking the loading of a file arma requires

vernal swallow
#

Any suggested response to fix it

grim tinsel

try to find out whats blocking it

vernal swallow
#

Gotcha

battleye is blocking it

I got gifted the ArmA 3 Contact DLC a month ago from a Twitch Streamer, when Contact came out yesterday, i tried to play the Campaign. The main menu popped up, i had the option to launch the DLC. It allows me to go to that Main Menu, however, i go the Campaign and instead of it saying "Play", it says "Purchase". The DLC is activated through the launcher and it's 100% installed. Any solutions?

#

you game runs out of memory and tries desperately not to die

#

are you running 64bit?

#

might be some bad mod

#

what I wonder tho is... why is that radar dish in the background still so high quality 🤔

#

Uhh, how do I check?

quaint jewel
#

can check in task manager

the name of the application

Do you have 64bit windows/system?

#

Ever since the contact update we've had a few people who can't join the server because of "Mission terminated becasue DLC content required". The server and mission don't use contact content that are not part of the free base game upgrade (2 objects are used as far as I know).
They all have the game fully updated. Verified cache as well. It doesn't happen to everyone but it seems to be growing.

Anyone else experience similar issues?

#

My Arma's still freezing, but I've observed one particular thing. If I run my game with Battleye enabled it's freezing, but if I disable Battleye and then run Arma it works good, even the 64bit version. I've scanned my PC using Kaspersky, sadly it didn't help. So far I did everything mentioned in this thread https://feedback.bistudio.com/T82802. What should I do? I really want to play multiplayer.

quaint jewel
#

maybe kaspersky interferes with BE

tender stirrup
#

I uninstalled Kaspersky and nothing changed, I still get freezes after holding a key for longer than a second

opal oar
#

i cant even get the game to stay without crashing

#

idk what the issue is

patent sparrow
#

Does anybody know what the fix is for the data file is too short error?

quaint jewel
#

verify files in steam

patent sparrow
#

Did that

#

Seems that the first time I exported the mission to mp it was about 20kb smaller than is should have been

#

This is on a dedi btw

late tapir
#

bleh i was gone 3 years, now im back and my game still runs at 20-30fps in every coop scenario and even in some single (like the new contact mission)

could anyone help me with solving the issue with my game crashing

wise barn
#

@opal oar
most of the players/user that could help are located in europe, and it's almost 4AM here (+/- 1h)

#

patience...

#

i am being patient lmao

humble oriole
#

So just to add some detail to what's going on with KingKong's problem:

  • He can get into Arma but when he joins a server it crashes
  • If I understood him correctly he can get into SP missions but then they eventually crash too
  • He doesn't have any mods loaded
opal oar
#

correct

quaint jewel
#

send me one crashdump (mdmp) please. Pack it in a zip archive to make it ALOT smaller. K thx see ya later

@opal oar USB headset?

@quaint jewel

#

When Im playing arma 3 contact dlc, I dont get the slider ui so I cant advance in my missions

#

could anyone help??

grim tinsel
#

slider UI?

quaint jewel
#

Try without it @opal oar
crash in audio processing is usually caused by USB stuff which Arma doesn't handle well

opal oar
#

ok ill try that

sly flame
#

theres no slider to use the frequency jammer

grim tinsel
#

That might be your FOV settings

wise barn
#

jep... FOV issue... revert to original

arma.exe crash when a friend grabs the radio emitter pistol next to jack during contact's tutorial. Anyone ?

Q: Whenever I switch profiles on ArmA 3, my Screen Size goes to "small" and I have to restart the entire game to get it back to normal.

Also, all my settings reset, atleast Audio do.

round lance
#

yep

#

settings are profile specific

#

not a bug, just how it functions.

hey, I'm having an issue where my server won't load a mission because "Can't find a mission collection / mission with template name: 'test123.altis', skipping to next mission." even though the mission is definately in that folder. See screenshot https://imgur.com/a/1KXS3ej

Ive made some live feed cameras they work perfectly fine however after a short time the screens jsut go black, this only happens to me and i have no reason as to why

mossy stream
#

I'm having the issue of drones sometimes just starting to ignore the waypoints I give them. Heli drones just hover in place, plane drones always go back to the same heading and altitude. Anybody know how to fix this?

Until now I just had the issue in multiplayer sessions.

BTW I don't mean new dlc drones, but "old" ones.

grim tinsel
#

@loud wadi what does the mission cycle part of your server.cfg look like?

#

Also has loading the normal folder worked before? Iirc the normal thing is to pack the folders into a pbo and load that

echo nimbus
#

So anytime I fly a plane for an extended period of time on the official Warlords server, I get a CTD that says Status_Stack_Buffer_Overrun

fringe salmon
#

every time i launch arma 3 i get a error that says "the cloud file provider is not running". how do i fix this?

#

and the error code is 0x0000DEAD-

loud wadi
#

@grim tinsel don' t use a mission cycle, I select the mission after connecting on the server

knotty ravine
#

Need helps with TFAR Beta

#

Wondering if I need to specifically do something server side besides adding the mod to the server

#

LR keeps not workin

grim tinsel
#

Okay then thats quite weird, tried the pbo thing? @loud wadi

#

define not working @knotty ravine

knotty ravine
#

Transmissions are being lost into the abyss

#

LR won’t work for pilots

grim tinsel
#

Hm

knotty ravine
#

Previous issues that didn’t exist when we used not the beta version

grim tinsel
#

Actually, are the backpack LR's working fine?

#

And I assume the pilots are using the vehicle LR's?

knotty ravine
#

Yep

grim tinsel
#

Hm

knotty ravine
#

The backpack lrs are spotty

grim tinsel
#

I've seen this before, I cant remember how it was fixed

knotty ravine
#

I’ll always have to ask if someone checked my last but nothing was apparently said

#

Even though I heard

#

The radio beep

grim tinsel
#

Are the vehicles from the same side?

#

(As in Blufor/Opfor/Greenfor)

knotty ravine
#

Yeah, and I know it works for the OPTRE mod, I’ve seen other units use it

#

But :p

grim tinsel
#

Hm

#

I'll ask some people I know about it, and when he's here Dedmen can props help aswell

knotty ravine
#

Danke :).

grim tinsel
#

Gerne doch

loud wadi
#

@grim tinsel got it working now, turns out you have to unpack the mission.pbo, put all of that in another folder, pack that folder as a pbo and rename it to missionname.mapname.pbo

#

Wish that was documented somewhere

#

the correct format for missions that is

grim tinsel
#

It should give you the correct mission format when you export it to mp

loud wadi
#

it was a workshop mission

#

can't open those in the editor to export, can you?

grim tinsel
#

you can put them into the editors save location and then export them

#

but that seems like more effort than needed

#

You can just grab the misisonfile from your workshop save location

quaint jewel
#

@knotty ravine your radios probably have different encryption codes. You can just set all 3 codes to the same value in the settings.

knotty ravine
#

@quaint jewel THONK

#

I still dumby confused

grim tinsel
#

@knotty ravine check the TFAR global settings in the addon options

knotty ravine
#

Ok, will try it asap

fringe salmon
#

where are the rpt files

#

also update 1.9 broke all the mods

grim tinsel
#

define 'broke all the mods'

patent vapor
#

The contact update?

#

I Got a weird bug where it says to pay to play a map (like DLC maps) but it's on mods

#

Though it is solved by going into arsenal then leaving arsenal

quaint jewel
#

@fringe salmon access violation crashes? with or without mods?
can you send me one mdmp (in a zip file) ?
RPT files are in %localappdata%/Arma 3

fringe salmon
#

@quaint jewel no mods, pm'ed. cant upload here

quaint jewel
#

thanks, just wanna see if we both have the same crash

#

I'll check tomorraw

#

Anyone ever have the advanced flight model lock itself on, on a dedicated server? I’ve tried adding forceRotorLibSimulation = 0; to the description.ext in the kp_liberation.Malden.pbo but that’s having no effect.

fierce kelp
#

have you disabled it in your game settings?

fringe salmon
#

@grim tinsel almost all of my steam workshop mods went corrupt after an update, and reinstalling them wont fix

#

local mods work though

tepid frost
#

@fierce kelp only place I’ve found a file like that is inside the kp_liberation pbo, am I missing something?

#

I added it to the description.ext but that didn’t seem to have any effect. Although I am very new to all this and may not have added it to the correct line.

tepid frost
#

Tried adding it to the Configs lines of the server, it’s still showing that AFM is on in the launcher.

fringe salmon
#

I’ve tried adding forceRotorLibSimulation = 0;
That’s like saying “do nothing” If you want to force it you need 1 or 2

regal oracle
#

Ok so

#

what am i supposed to do?

quaint jewel
#

Can't you just "move" it via steam? instead of remove and reinstall

#

and what do you mean by "can't remove"? steam doesn't let you uninstall??

regal oracle
#

uhhh when I press uninstall, it doesn't uninstall.

quaint jewel
#

what does it do instead?

regal oracle
#

update...

#

And I do not have enough storage left over on my internal drive so, yeah, can't wait until its done.

#

because it will never get done

quaint jewel
#

oh so it refuses to delete while it's trying to install an update 🤔

#

maybe just delete the game directory manually

#

and then tell steam to uninstall

uncut trellis
#

also disable automatic updates

sharp elm
#

tried to uninstall it from Windows Settings? (apps&Features)?

regal oracle
#

I will try

#

Give me a few minutes, please.

#

Alright, uninstalled. Thanks guys.

mighty pier
#

@regal oracle iirc, it downloads it first before applying it so, you get swell of used disk space which is eventually freed. If you are low on space, uninstall first, then install.

#

Oh, sorry, just scrolled down....

#

Glad you're sorted anyway

tepid frost
#

@fringe salmon that’s actually exactly what I want, is for the players to choose. But for some reason, without me changing anything as far as I know, in the server browser in the launcher it’s showing that it’s on advanced.

fringe salmon
#

Dunno if you can change it dynamically or even as mission option on startup

I've made a Bohemia account and I want to link it to my steam account. But it appears my Steam account is already linked to an existing Bohemia account. The thing is, I can't remember the username of this existing Bohemia account and all the email addresses I know of don't give any password resets either.

I'd even delete the unit I made for Arma 3 and remake it with the existing linked account...IF I know what that account was!

Is there any way I can unlink the Bohemia account from the Steam side? Any other solution? Would suck if I can't even find out which accounts are linked and there's no way to undo this.

Is anyone having strange issues with the Laws of War campaign starting when attempting to start the Contact campaign? I only found one person with a thread on the Steam community with no answers so seems to be a very rare thing to happen. Just bought Contact today and am loading it via the Play Contact button on the launcher with no mods loaded

knotty cape
#

never seen that one, try verifying cache. you should also only have started contact from the launcher, so that no mods have loaded.

final panther
#

I've verified cache and as I said I am infact starting contact from the launcher with the fancy new black "Play Contact" button 😛

#

I tried unticking Laws of War in Steam's list of DLC under Arma 3 to see if it would work if I uninstalled LoW, but it doesn't really feel like uninstalling at all

pallid topaz
#

I am having a problem with Steam being stuck on Updating Arma 3... it says "Download stopping..." but it never "stops". Now I can't update any of my other games. Anyone know how to fix this?

#

Is there any way to fix this without completely uninstalling my game?

wise barn
#

@final panther
there is only one other known case of this on here. BI devs already know about it, but not sure what they are up to with it

#

@pallid topaz
restart steam maybe?

#

check your free disc space

pallid topaz
#

Already tried both of those things, good ideas though

#

I am thinking maybe it has something to do with workshop content

#

is there away to unsub from all workshop items?

final panther
#

@wise barn Thank you ❤ I'll just have to wait and hope they find a solution then, glad to see they're aware of it atleast

wise barn
#

i can't remember where i read it, but i think a temp solution mentioned something to forcefully remove the LoW stuff from your install folder.
i'm really not sure what it was and how

#

but there is hope 😄

So my linux dedicated server's AI that spawn with the mission are standing still with their guns down and magically shooting me. has anyone seen that before?

they wont move, they just shake bake and forth with their guns in the down position and shoot me but their muzzleflash comes from normal height and it kills me

AI spawned in later work fine

Hi everyone, so a few weeks prior to the release of contact and 1.94 i setup a dedicated server on a separate machine from the one i use to play arma.
Today i launched SteamCMD and ran app_update 233780 validate to try and update the server. It told me that it had updated successfully and so i quit SteamCMD
but when i run the server i still get 1.92 at the top of the server window and my server doesn't show up in the launcher or allow direct connections.
Any ideas of what i can do? I do not have a ton of experience with arma 3 servers so any help is appreciated!

quaint jewel
#

do you run normal server binary? not performance nor profiling?

#

Multiple people seem to have the issue of the server not updating correctly

#

last guy had his game installed into different directory by steamCMD, have you double checked install directory?

viscid jay
#

im not totally sure what you mean by not performance nor profiling. i use TADST to configure the server and mods.
the steamcmd executable is in the same folder as the server.

quaint jewel
#

if you don't know what I mean then that means youre running the normal server binary

#

do you have a "enoch" folder in arma folder?

viscid jay
#

there is no enoch folder in the server folder

quaint jewel
#

then it's not updating at all

#

maybe it installs to a different directory, dunno what TADST does there

viscid jay
#

yeah couldnt find anything else arma related on the server.
is there a way to force steamcmd to install to a certain directory

quaint jewel
#

yes

#

force_install_dir

viscid jay
#

cheers ill have a go at forcing the directory then updating and report back

viscid jay
#

@quaint jewel The forced directory seems to have worked well

#

thankyou very much for the help

#

much appreciated

quaint jewel
#

what you mean create a server

#

at which point exactly does it freeze

#

then it should ask you to select port and name

#

and then you press OK

#

and then it should present you with a list of missions and asks you to select one

#

I assume you get stuck in a loading screen and mission list doesn't show up?

#

does the game fully freeze? aka windows telling you it's frozen?

#

have you installed any missions from the workshop? or did you put any into your games MPMissions folder?

#

If it were a CBA issue then I'd expect that to happen to more people

round lance
#

Did you actually download the correct version of cba or...?

#

Could try the workshop version of CBA if you haven't already.

#

Because....?

But ye @weak ravine I recommend coming back and asking for help (if you still need it then) when you've got a legit copy of arma

@round lance Its props just an outdated version of arma not compatible with that version of cba

#

That could be it

#

We're not allowed to talk about cracked stuff here right?

grim tinsel
#

I cant remember the exact rules

Imagine not wanting to fork out 3 10 euro bills for a game you can easily put 1000 hours in.

#

For 3 cents an hour you shouldn't be messing with cracks and cracked servers filled with hackers spamming cyrillic jibberish.

round lance
#

Some people aren't interested in the game as most.

#

And plus, people cracking games on multiplayer usually do it to play it privately, not go on public servers.

grim tinsel
#

Not even necessarily 3 10 euro bills @fringe salmon

#

On sale arma is like 11 bucks

On every Arma 3 Server my game crashes after after an indeterminate time and freezes. The Sound is in a loop. Have to change to another desktop to open the task manager to close the game. The game shows as inactive in the manager? anyone a idea? Had Yesterday much malware on my Pc and removed it via MWB. But the crashes continue

grim tinsel
#

And i can definetly confirm that you can very easily put in 1k hours

#

@fringe salmon Are you using a USB headset?

fringe salmon

I'm using a cheap headset with 2x 3.5 and a usb port for the led

grim tinsel
#

led?

fringe salmon
#

LED (on the Headset) ^^

grim tinsel
#

Oh LED? As in a light?

fringe salmon
#

yes

grim tinsel
#

aah okay

#

Hm, do you get a crash pop-up when the game crashes?

fringe salmon
#

no, just a freeze but today my launcher crashed and from that i had a log

grim tinsel
#

Hm okay, check if that log says anything relating to the crash

fringe salmon
#

can't really read the log but it says something like Fehler 0x80070718 – Not enough quotas available to process this command

#

Fehler=Error

#

Do you have any ideas?

Anyone know why BattlEye keeps reinstalling itself when I launch a different game that uses BattlEye? For instance, I could be playing Arma 3, and then play... say R6, and BattlEye has to reinstall itself. It does this pretty much everytime as well.

#

Anyone know what is the optimal speed for pitching up and down? ( dogfighting )

#

Also for gun runs as A164 Wipeout should i even touch my flaps? Should i keep them straight, down or at the lowest position? What advantage does that give me? What speed should i maintain for gunruns

round lance
#

Flaps do what you should expect, reduce your speed and allow easier maneuvering.
Speed for gun runs is personal preference, but generally make sure you're slow enough to be able to pull up and not crash.
Make sure you have the airbrake assigned to a key in order to slow yourself down on dives for gunruns.

#

Also A-164 isn't for dogfighting, as it's the jet with the slowest acceleration and turns in the game.

#

You're better off just popping AA missiles and getting out of enemy range, or getting ground forces to assist.

timber talon
#

Alright friends, I need help with my settings

sharp shale
#

Anyone know why when ever I try and go on a server (not public one) battle eye kicks me off after 5 mins saying its not responding for some reason

#

or the game will freeze on "Receiving data ..."

fringe salmon
#

@timber talon Then you have a sufficient machine. Drop the object view distance, object quality and terrain down a bit in the settings, they are limited on the CPU and that is where the game ultimately struggles on high end machines. A object view distance down as low as say 1500 and object/terrain quality of high will both help.

also FPS varies between multiplayer and singleplayer.

#

@sharp shale server needs to restart the mission then, if other people are having these issues too on the same server.

sharp shale
#

ahh okay thanks, wanted to just make sure it was a server issue, then something I could just fix myself

round lance
#

if it's a specific server that has this issue, then yes, it's a server-side issue.

fringe salmon
#

It isn't necessarily a server side issue, but it might be caused by that server and the game it is running. High player or AI count is bad, lots of client scripts also bad and leaking of lots of other objects not cleaned up can all contribute. It is the client that is breaking but it is the server hosting that game, an important distinction because you can impact to some extent with settings locally how much that impacts you.

timber talon
#

I was playing the Contact campaign and I got that

round lance
#

I mean being stuck on receiving data is a thing that happens on pub zeus too, regardless of the AI count or players...

#

Only thing that fixes it is a mission end.

#

And it usually locks servers down since everybody who tries to connect gets a "client not responding" from battleye if they wait it out or if they just restart their game.

un-installed the game and reinstalled (takes a freaking long time because all the mods i got in the workshop.. lol) but.. with No mods, No DLC's still not working. 😦

marble plaza
#

missing ur dic codes smh

#

what mods?

sharp elm
#

No mods.. No DLC

marble plaza
#

hmm

#

oh i see only workshop mods which are disabled

#

well i would recommend a validation but you've basically tried that

#

i might guess it's a localisation issue, what's your region?

sharp elm
#

Netherlands.

#

Validation done, even de-installeded the game trough steam.

#

how about deleting Arma folder in documents?

#

that often helps, although you want to back it up first

I just woke up and all of my mods have been deleted and are starting to reinstall, what just happened?

Probably a steam bug.

@sharp elm check that you have Arma 3/Addons/3den.pbo

fringe salmon
#

Any ideas why my arma freezes and i have to create a new desktop to close my game? already reinstalled my game

#

arma 3 gives me no crash logs

#

checked my drivers via driver booster and my graphics driver is actual

fringe salmon
#

sfc /scannow and chdsk no errors found, no virus and malware found

#

on ssd and hdd arma 3 crashes

marble plaza

how often does this happen?

arma just crashes sometimes

i've learned to live with it

sometimes after 5 minutes and sometimes after 1-2h

I'm trying to install CBA. So I copied the keys in to the keys-directory.

#

However, I now got this message:

grim tinsel
#

Install CBA on a server I assume?

fringe salmon
#

Yes

#

Files are not signed by a key...

grim tinsel
#

Also you cant post images directly, you gotta upload them somewhere and then post the link here

fringe salmon
grim tinsel
#

Can you post a picture of your keys folder?

fringe salmon
#

This are the keys I've got out of the mod folder I added to the launcher

grim tinsel
fringe salmon
#

Thats the version I'm using 😄

grim tinsel
#

Also make sure that the version of CBA on the server and on your machine are the newest one

#

Yeah but sometimes steam corrupts downlods or doesnt necessarily download everything correctly

fringe salmon
#

They are both just downloaded from github

grim tinsel
#

hm oky

fringe salmon
#

Steam?

grim tinsel
#

?

fringe salmon
#

I added them via this button

grim tinsel
#

Ye I know, I was assuming you used the steam workshop

fringe salmon
#

Ah okay

#

Also CBA doesnt appear in the expansions list on the lower right.

#

Maybe thats the problem?

grim tinsel
#

Sorry, expansion list in the lower right?

fringe salmon
#

This

#

There is no TFAR or CBA. On other servers there is.

grim tinsel
#

Ah, I dont know how accurate that is

In the console it looks good

Me and my friend need a little help. Me and him play Zeus together through the "Host a server" option on the friends tab he can host a server just fine but whenever I try to host the server it doesn't work.

Port forward and disable uPNP

No reason all blank no controllrrs

don't pull controlers while the game is running then.
plug in controler, wait for it to be initialized by windows, run the game

fringe salmon
#

On windows all controllers appear full funtionally

I plugin, standby and make balancing. After start arma bit no reations

wise barn
#

what controllers are we talking about?

fringe salmon
#

Thrustmaster pyton, Logitec Rudder and X52 PRO

#

This problem its attualy born

wise barn

try other USB ports

#

i have no idea honestly. i never had such issues with controllers

fringe salmon

I teste all usb

then i'm sorry. i'm out of ideas

maybe somebody else can help you

Hello so im having kinda a problem with steam/arma

#

When i am downloading a mod that is like 200mb its good and downloads

#

but then i tried downloading some CUP mods that were like 6gb

#

and right at the end it cancels

#

right when it finished it cancels

#

I have vertified game files

#

i have space on my PC

wise barn
#

what cup mods?

compact tree
#

The core one

delicate elm
#

Terrains

compact tree
#

core terrains and so on

delicate elm
#

From the size

compact tree
#

i've tried both

#

but it just wont seem to do the trick

wise barn
#

how much free space do you have?

grim tinsel
#

you know someone has played arma too much when they know a mod by its size

compact tree
#

on my C drive i got 20gb and on my D drive i got 112 left, i have arma downloded on the D drive with my workshop content going there aswell

wise barn
#

hmmm... no idea

grim tinsel
#

have you tried changing the download server?

#

also clearing download cache

delicate elm
#

Me neither... using Steam launcher to download?

compact tree
#

Yeah i changed it from my country to my neighbor country and i cleared the cache but it wont seem to do the trick

grim tinsel
#

good old cache-clearing advice, for when you have no clue at all how to fix it

#

Steam Support might know something I guess?

compact tree
#

where do i go into arma 3 technical issue?

grim tinsel
#

Btw as a sidenote you can also download cup via your browser,it doesnt fix the problem but it lets you play with cup while you work on fixing it

compact tree
#

Does it work with multiplayer aswell?

grim tinsel
#

Its the same CUP as on the workshop

#

aight

#

I will unsub and try again later and then i will see if it will download a file about the same sice

I seem to be having random missing texture issues (either 70's style Tron solid colors, or just whacky pale/white color replacements that almost seem intentional) when connecting to at least one server, specifically vehicles. The vehicles affected seem to change randomly in each log in, and the vehicles affected show up as normal in eden editor. Any ideas what might be going on here?

Goodmorning i make test and Arma3 dont visualize controllers in any mode. I need insert this mamually in name.Arma3.conf its possible any send me this file with any controller data?

fringe salmon
#

Ok i look in FSX and dont is one problem of Arma3 all simulator and game dont recognize controllers. ty

#

its a Steam problem?

round lance
#

Steam doesn't handle controller detection.

#

If both FSX and ArmA can't detect it, then it's a controller problem.

i solved with total Unistal and reistall Steam

@round lance its a Steam problem i solved with reinstall Steam Client

Looking into it @hasty vine

#

It might be dependant on how server admins are updating. If you let Steam cmd update server directly it might not remove deprecated (if any) files? I always download full server files, then delete folders on server and copy paste across

tight wadi
#

our server is not Steam updated - always manually only, when judged necessary/safe/beneficial

weak bramble
#

Mainly for Inch ^^

#

the file was replaced tho, not removed/added 🤔

Its suspected to be Steam glitching, we will give it a couple of hours to see if it sorts itself out. We'll monitor it though.

Hi eveyone!

I'm having some troubles loading up Contact.

I pre-ordered Contact as I make missions and wanted to start making a mission in preparation for release, and it went great. However, upon release, I have not been able to play the Contact campaign, or load into contact servers.

I always get met with "mission terminated due to missing DLC" despite it being loaded in the launcher, reinstalling the DLC multiple times, and verifying my game files about 3 times now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

#

*I can still access livonia and the assets in the mission editor

fading cloak
#

Are you launching it with the blue "Play contact" button?

azure root
#

yeah

#

i've tried both running it through the blue "Play Contact" button, and via the normal play button with the optional DLC loaded.

In both cases I can still access all assets in the editor, but cannot launch the campaign

#

it loads the map and the text box "Nathan - your editor here..." screen, then as soon as the compass appears at the top of the screen, it cuts off to main menu with the "Mission Terminated due to missing DLC content" text

compact tree
#

So files that are about 4-6gb wont download for me. I can start it until it goes to 100% at that point steam will say download canceled

#

any ideas?

#

I at cleared my download cache

#

i have vertified arma 3

round lance
#

change download region, check your disk drive for anything faulty, etc.

fringe salmon
#

i have problem where my arma launches and everything the loading of files and more... And then when the game opens its stuck on black screen it doesnt work with our without mods have reinstalled arma and more things done but cannot find solution. please help

#

also scan your pc for malware

#

@fringe salmon try 32-bit if you're running 64-bit, and vice versa.

compact tree
#

I changed my download region, it made it go a little bit faster but not make it work, how do i scan for malware and how to i check my hardrive?

fringe salmon
#

I tried 32

round lance
#

scan with anti-virus softwares

#

and checking your hard drive you need special software for it

fringe salmon
#

me?

compact tree
#

any recomendation?

round lance
#

it's old but follows the same steps

#

@fringe salmon and same result?

fringe salmon
#

ye

round lance
#

does anything else give you problems, or is it just arma?

fringe salmon
#

arma

round lance
#

could try verifying files

fringe salmon
#

did it

round lance
#

fully reinstalling the game, as in uninstalling then deleting any left-over files?

fringe salmon
#

yep

round lance
#

hmmm

lunar sequoia
#

did you check the report (rpt) file ?

round lance
#

yep, could check that too.

fringe salmon
#

no

#

Where can i find it?

round lance
#

when arma crashes or anything the launcher gives an error message

#

should be able to save a report

fringe salmon
#

where does it save?

#

I close it with task maneger because i tried once leave arma on for night and it didnt get pass the black screen in 9 hours

round lance
#

%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Arma 3

#

should be here.

lunar sequoia
#

typing %localappdata%\Arma 3 into Explorer address bar will take you to the correct folder too

fringe salmon
#

Which file now?

lunar sequoia
#

the latest one with a .rpt extension

#

you can open in a text editor or upload to pastebin.com if you want someone to look at it

fringe salmon
#

ok

#

Where should i upload it?

#

Google drive

lunar sequoia
#

yeah where-ever is convenient for you

compact tree
#

@round lance I scanned both my hardrives but found no errors

round lance
#

then it's a steam issue, i'd say.

#

you have enough free space, right?

fringe salmon
#

yep

#

228hdd and 47in ssd

compact tree
#

Yeah everything is suppose to go to my D drive that has 100gb left and my C drive has 20

round lance
#

that was to @compact tree

fringe salmon
#

XD

round lance
#

@fringe salmon should probs let Uro help you with the rpt stuff

#

not my expertise

fringe salmon
#

ok

#

@lunar sequoia welp

round lance
#

@compact tree your whole steam folder is in D drive?

compact tree
#

My steam library and workshop items go there

round lance
#

hmmm

#

then it's not a space issue

#

you could try reinstalling steam?

#

not sure.

compact tree
#

I might try that later, i would need to download over 200gb again :I

round lance
#

just make a backup of your stuff, and put them back in after you install steam again.

compact tree
#

yeah, aight i shall try that later

round lance
#

but this might not work, so let me see if i can find alternatives aswell

compact tree
#

Thanks!

grim tinsel
#

you can reinstall steam without deleting your games

compact tree
#

No, steam says that if you uninstall steam you uninstall your games, but if you do a backup its good

lunar sequoia
#

@fringe salmon are your gpu drivers etc all up to date?

grim tinsel
#

Theres guides on how to do it

#

you just have to delete certain files

#

@compact tree

it seems to be that a a signature of one contact dlc does not match the bi signature?

maybe possible workaround is to disable verify signatures until the problem has been resolved by bi

that's NOT a good idea

unless you're hosting a private server.

in the context of servers like the official ones or such, however...

Okay. I'm having an issue, had it all night and I still cannot fix it.

Come earlier I had my server visible using the ArmA 3 Server Files in the steam tools section on a server account (as I don't want to use my normal one for serverside things as it'll be on a TV pc that multiple people will have access to)

At the start it showed up in server list but kicked the player no matter what, giving the error in the log as: Game version mismatch, even though I know this is not the case as the server AND client were running the same version which was crosschecked.

Now come today I've reinstalled everything, the server starts up, but its not visible in server browser and I am unsure of what to do next. I'll attach a pastebin log file.

it'll be a folder, if its not there its one less thing to check

if it doesnt exist its no problem.

Yeah, steam being a pain in the ass today. It doesn't even re-download them it seems. Just moves them to the 'Temp' folder in the workshop for a bit and reinstalls them back to the 'Content' folder

rain widget
#

any fixes?

#

and is it worth using up my internet to reinstall the mods?

#

or just wait till a fix

blissful bramble
#

For me, I just killed steam ASAP, then deleted the temp folder. Then ran repair on any mods that the launcher said are corrupted and it redownloads those

rain widget
#

ok

#

idk how to do that so im going to wait for fix

#

@radiant hawk read up, happening Steam wide

I honestly thought my Steam Workshop SSD had died

fringe salmon
#

MODS

#

ARE

#

BROKEN

#

AHH

grim tinsel
#

ProtoSleep We know

fringe salmon
#

are they fixing em?

grim tinsel
#

I dunno, I'm not steam

fringe salmon
#

how long does it take for feedback tracker to help me fix my isue?

uncut trellis
#

Depends on the issue.

fringe salmon
#

mybe we can try fixing it here?

uncut trellis
#

If its something that can be reproduced then it might get fixed sometime.

fringe salmon
uncut trellis
#

Have you ever been able to run the game?

fringe salmon
#

yes

uncut trellis
#

Have you considered reinstalling windows? A bit drastic measure but maybe there's something messed up there.

fringe salmon
#

Havent and not planning since i have alot of stuff on pc thats for my life and job.

uncut trellis
#

Reinstall does not necessarily mean you need to wipe it. But yeah it's not a sure solution anyway.

quaint jewel
#

tried running in windowed mode?

fringe salmon
#

Duno how

quaint jewel
#

I think there should be a startparameter in Arma Launcher, under Parameters

fringe salmon
#

Found it let me see

#

Same thing nothing happens

uncut trellis
#

are you using any other launch paramters

fringe salmon
#

No have tried launching with paramters

weak bramble
#

@fringe salmon close everything, then open a run cmd using Winkey +R, enter "%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Arma 3\" and delete everything in that folder and try again

fringe salmon
#

ok

#

everythin like arma? close arma?

weak bramble
#

Yes

#

Also, consider making a new profile ingame if the above doesn't work

uncut trellis
#

first have to get in game

#

isnt the problem that it does not run

fringe salmon
#

is

uncut trellis
#

also @fringe salmon how long have you waited for it to go through the black screen?

fringe salmon
#

once 9 hours and it dint go

uncut trellis
#

alright that should be enough.

fringe salmon
#

😄

uncut trellis
#

are you installing it to same place every time?

fringe salmon
#

Do i need to verify my game?

uncut trellis
#

can you install it to another drive?

fringe salmon
#

I can i can transfer it to different drive

uncut trellis
#

that would be worth to try

fringe salmon
#

after this try i will transfer to hdd 😦

uncut trellis
#

is it on external or internal drive now?

fringe salmon
#

internal

#

both drives are internal

uncut trellis
#

any chance you have blocked something with firewall/antivirus that Arma cant the run properly

fringe salmon
#

Nope havent blocked anything

#

Havent touched it

uncut trellis
#

what antivir are you using?

#

does it ask you stuff or does it run automatically?

fringe salmon
#

IF it blocks anything it shows and avast and something 360 and then normal windows one

uncut trellis
#

are you launching battleye

fringe salmon
#

no its automatic

uncut trellis
#

could try turning that off

fringe salmon
#

okay

quaint jewel
#

Try renaming the MyDocuments/Arma 3 folder, or moving it to the desktop

fringe salmon
#

Rename to what?

#

Named it no lets see

uncut trellis
#

also have you tried plugging out your controller

fringe salmon
#

Uhm i just got the controller the game didnt work before it but i can try..

#

Still doesnt work

trail coral
#

what you shall do is clean reinstallation of A3

fringe salmon
#

I did it

trail coral
#

not just uninstall it but delete all folders associated with it

fringe salmon
#

I know i did it

#

just added my mods back since nothing change

trail coral
#

you did it including deleting the A3 folder in documents?

fringe salmon
#

Yes

uncut trellis
#

have you tried the different memory allocators?

#

and runnig wiht splashcreen and such turned off?

trail coral
#

if you really did it, then I can only suggest updating your drivers, especially videocard

fringe salmon
#

Havent tried and everything should latest mybe not drivers but everything else is up to date

uncut trellis
#

worth trying the drivers too

compact tree
#

I think i have found out a solution to my problem.

#

I need to download my mods manualy and not put a modpack into my game and auto sub

uncut trellis
#

quite possible

Completed the Arma 3 mission Crossing Paths in the Survive episode and returned the Maxwell. Saved and exited the game. Upon rebooting into the campaign menu where you see all of the missions you completed, at the bottom of the list is Crossing Paths and under that Maxwell, suggesting that I should be able to pick up where I left off upon returning to Maxwell. However, upon attempting to resume game I get booted into the middle of Crossing Paths where the AAF start to attack FIA and the weapons stash. Tried this twice and the same thing keeps happening! I have to play this mission again?

compact tree
#

you probly got armad

#

arma can be like that some times so id say just replay it

lofty lion
#

😑

#

Fixed it!

#

Click Revert on Maxwell in campaign menu, NOT Resume

Must have loaded my manual save I last made in Crossing Paths

Hi eveyone!

I'm having some troubles loading up Contact.

I pre-ordered Contact as I make missions and wanted to start making a mission in preparation for release, and it went great. However, upon release, I have not been able to play the Contact campaign, or load into contact servers.

I always get met with "mission terminated due to missing DLC" despite it being loaded in the launcher, reinstalling the DLC multiple times, and verifying my game files about 3 times now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
*I can still access livonia and the assets in the mission editor

UPDATE: I just reinstalled Arma and the DLC, and it still is not working.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hi, I'm having problems on my dedicated server, for some reason Ace isn't working, all it's setting are being overwritten by the server and it's medical and even driving aren't working at all, and I can't access the server settings(I'm logged as Adm), it's just unaccessible

#

I looked over Reddit and BI forums but I couldn't find anything

#

Another problem I'm having atm is RHS not working as well, it's units and vehicles don't show up in the Zeus interface, not even in the 'empty' section

#

On single player everything works just fine, I even hosted a server to play with my friend to test thing and it went just fine

#

I'm also using Achilles and MCC, but apart of some missing modules on the list(nothing important anyway), they both are working just fine

grim tinsel
#

Make sure the mods are activated correctly

fringe salmon
#

Yes, they're, I even put then in the correct load order on the commandline

grim tinsel
#

Can you share your commandline?

fringe salmon
#

1 sec

#

-port=2542 -Autoinit -MaxMem= "-mod=@CBA_A3;@MCCSandbox;@Achilles;@Ace;@RHSUSAF;@ACECompatRHSUSAF;@RHSAFRF;@ACECompRHSAFRF;@RHSGREF;@ACECompRHSGREF;@RHSSAF;" -profiles=ARMAHOSTS -config=ARMAHOSTS\server\server.cfg -cfg=ARMAHOSTS\server\basic.cfg "-name=armahosts" -Server

quaint jewel
#

-MaxMem= that parameter is invalid

#

what does "can't access the server settings" mean exactly?

fringe salmon
#

im not on my computer rn, but i can access addon settings

#

but the tab with server setting is just unclickable

#

it says i need to be a server admin

#

but i'm logged as an admin

quaint jewel
#

latest CBA version? arma update might've broken it

fringe salmon
#

everything is updated

Came back today.

#

Have not changed anything.

hey, so, for some reason, whenever I join a server it tells me that the contact .ebo's are not signed by the server. I have not checked the contact dlc to be loaded and I'm just trying to play on Vanilla servers.

I've gone from not being able to play contact, to contact not wanting to turn off, any advice?

grim tinsel
#

Can you post a picture of your DLC tab just to make sure owowhatsthis ?

#

Also I recommend verifying the files using steam

azure root
#

will do 😃

grim tinsel
#

Also also does the error show just with one server or multiple?

azure root
#

good question, so far Ive just tried to keep at the same one, as I wanted to see if anything changed if I tried different things

#

I'll give some more a go

grim tinsel
#

Oky, could be a server side problem

frosty crypt
#

Fixed my issue, the arma launcher apparently couldn't tell what was installed and what wasnt, manually checking each mod and downloading ones it thought were downloaded but werent fixed the issue

grim tinsel
#

oky

azure root
#

I cant post screenshots?

#

for some reason it wont let me

grim tinsel
#

Its disabled on this discord for normal users as a spem protection thing, you'll have to upload the picture to a website like imgur and then post the link to it here

azure root
#

will do

#

just tried a few more, all the same

sinful island
#

Sounds like you need to update.

#

What build are you on?

azure root
#

ive only just reinstalled the game and the dlcs as of half an hour ago :/

sinful island
#

Hmm.

azure root
#

4075641, if thats the right place to see the build

sinful island
#

Right click on the EXE -> Properties -> Details. The version should be listed there.

azure root
#

1.94.145.977?

#

or 1.94.0.145977

sinful island
#

Seems like you are up to date. It does this with any server?

azure root
#

yeah

#

just about to try another to check again

#

yep, official servers too

#

might've just solved it

#

on my parameters a custom command line was running: -mod=contact

sinful island
#

woops lol

#

Trying to force your aliens into everything, eh?

azure root
#

seems so 😂

quaint jewel
#

well the server is telling you it doesn't allow you to join with contact

#

what's the question?

sinful island
#

The question is: How many incorrect parameters does it take for you to not be able to enter any non-contact servers?

#

He already found the answer.

quaint jewel
#

one

#

well you can do it with zero

sinful island
#

Just get global banned?

grim tinsel
#

heh global bans

trail coral
#

How many incorrect parameters does it take for you to not be able to enter any non-contact servers?
great question

#

Soon, in order to join a server a general user will have to go through a good amount of steps which he has no way to know until he read guides and eventually end up in troubleshooting channel

#

oh wait, "soon" is already here

grim tinsel
#

oh god please no

So odd one, we recently turned on BIKEYS for our server, one of our members gets kicked after about 10-15 minutes in game for random base arma pbos, he bought contacts dlc today, but had verified his game twice (or so he says, no one can 100% say for sure), but any one else every had this issue? https://clips.twitch.tv/FamousSpikyStorkBCWarrior

Server browser being slow again?

I can barely get any servers

Its an old issue
So wait for it when loading and dont push any botton

@sullen kayak if your audio device changed while running arma you have to restart

#

otherwise, make sure your playback device is correct in windows.

can someone open my rpt file and tell me whats causing access violation

quaint jewel
#

RPT doesn't tell you that

fringe salmon
#

what will

quaint jewel
#

the mdmp

#

but only devs can read it

delicate elm
#

And Dedmen ofc

fringe salmon
#

yet dont bother fixing it because arma

uncut trellis
#

you runninf mods?

delicate elm
#

yet dont bother fixing it because arma Well, if you send the crash dump and RPT to Bohemia they will look at it and if necessary fix "it"

fringe salmon
#

how do i do that

quaint jewel
#

if you can reproduce with latest #perf_prof_branch then grab the report (you can create one in arma launcher) and send it to dwarden
but only on latest perf/prof

fringe salmon
#

u dont just reproduce access violations

#

theyre entirely random

quaint jewel
#

yep

#

but I mean. run perf prof

#

if you get a crashdump, send it to dwarden

delicate elm
#

(1) The RPT file does not contain information to determine the reason for an ACCESS VIOLATION crash. (2) If you have the crash dump for a crash you can submit it in the Feedback Tracker located at https://feedback.bistudio.com.

Ok, I uninstalled it thru windows, that seems to have fixed my queue issues, but it looks like it's happening with other games too. I guess it's just a weird steam issue

Im still having issues with that Contact DLC. Unsure what the issue is and i cant find a solution to the problem.
Steam says it's downloaded and checkmarked, ArmA 3 Launcher says it's owned and checked, go into ArmA 3, attempt to use the map or go to the Campaign's and it says i need to purchase the content
