@round lance When the distance between two players is more than 750 meters, they can not see each other.

round lance
#

that should be object visibility in the graphics settings.

#

it also depends on some things

#

for example arma has features where the further something is away, the more it is "sunken into the ground"

#

try using some view distance mod if it's a private server, see if it changes anything.

hollow rain
#

@round lance Some people say it's related to in-game difficulty (related configuration in server. cfg)

round lance
#

nope

#

difficulty matters none in this context.

hollow rain
#

@round lance tks

round lance
#

there is however a setup you can do on server.cfg that can allow higher view distance

#

how you do it, however, i do not know.

hollow rain
#

difficulty = "Regular"; // "Recruit", "Regular", "Veteran","Custom" change it in server.cfg?

terse plaza
round lance
#

that's...not gonna change anything in regards to visibility.

I'm having a problem where modded factions won't load i've tried reinstalling them, making sure they're updated, exiting zues then going back in multiple times, and remoting controlling then going into zues this is only happening with the factions not the weapons clothes etc.... from the mod as they're visible in the arsenal. Can anyone help?

grim tinsel
#

What do you mean with 'wont load' @fringe salmon

#

Do you mean in the zeus interface?

#

If so make sure that you've enabled unofficial addons in the game master module

fringe salmon
#

Yes the Zues interface, and i've made sure the module has unoffical addons enabled

wise barn
#

what modded factions?

#

which mod is it?

fringe salmon
#

Zombies and Demons

wise barn
#

never used it. it could be that this mod was never set up for zeus

fringe salmon
#

I've seen it used in zues before though, and i've had the same problem with RHSUSAF

patent sparrow
#

Has anybody ever had a problem with getting ai squad members to get in a vehicle?

#

In fact they pretty much won't do anything I tell them

fringe salmon
#

Are you remote controlling a unit?

grim tinsel
#

Z&D should work fine with zeus

fringe salmon
#

This is all the mods I have on right now.

-mod=@CBA_A3;@ace;@Achilles;@Advanced_AI_Command;@Zeus_Enhanced;@Zombies_and_Demons;

No

currently im having an issuse where when i import my terrain thru pbo project its fine, then when i load in game i dont see the map

fringe salmon
#

quick question, in my ArmA 2, it runs great, buuut when i am moving forward some places certain vertexs and shapes in the terrain move with my vision?
What is this?
Like its always right in front of me too. I have most stuff maxed out.

Ok I think I found the source of my problem when I make a mission with addons then upload it to the server it won't load, but if I upload it without any addons it loads the mission on the server. I know for sure the server has all the addons, and they're working properly before the upload.

10:12:48 House c1d6ba3580# 1813824: nav_pier_m_f.p3d (to) not found in the operative map
10:12:49 House not found in the list

#

i dont know what's wrong..

uncut trellis
#

What's the error in and what's the context @hollow rain

pine hull
#

Decided to work on some new eden missions, but realised that the respawn points don't work at all? Copied/pasted old sets and tried aswell, still just spawns the character at the location of his death, the respawn selection map dosen't even show up, playing old mission files seems to work fine, new not.

grim tinsel
#

Did you adjust the settings in the attributes furretpeek ? @pine hull

pine hull
#

Yup

grim tinsel
#

Then it should be working

#

Did you set it to custom position?

fringe salmon
#

I'm currently working on custom missions for my server, and it won't load as it says "Error Loading Mission" I have a mission.sqm file and the folder. Am I missing anything? I've looked around at tutorials and people with similar problems but I can't find anything.

orchid grove
#

How do I disable ACE addon mismatching on my server?

wise barn
#

by matching the versions

pine hull
#

@grim tinsel Yes custom position is put on, still dosen't work.

grim tinsel
#

Hm weird, any chance you can PM me a picture of your mp attributes screen? @pine hull

pine hull
#

I will later, at work.

quaint jewel
#

@fringe salmon any more details?

fringe salmon
#

I've looked through the mission folder where it saves it and there's only a mission.sqm and if I do it without addons then upload it to the server it works fine but if I do it with addons it doesn't.

quaint jewel
#

what is the full error you get

fringe salmon
#

I've checked the .rpt file and it says "Error Loading Mission".

quaint jewel
#

anything else?

fringe salmon
#

Nothing else

quaint jewel
#

then you cannot be helped

fringe salmon
#

Alright i'll try figure it out

signal pier
#

Addon 'Cup_AirVehicles_AN2' Requires addon 'CUP_Creatures_People_Civil_Chernarus'

#

Help please

grim tinsel
#

Make sure you have all the dependencies loaded @signal pier

signal pier
#

cba, vehicles and 1 other yes

#

all loaded.

grim tinsel
#

are you getting the error on your own machine or a dedicated server?

signal pier
#

dedicated

fringe salmon
#

Need help with server ethernet options please pm me Thanks (it relates to arma 3 it's our main server)

quaint jewel
#

@signal pier mods are corrupted. redownload them

Yeah I have a pretty weird problem, last night my launcher said my game was running even though it wasn't. I looked in task manager, processes, everything. So I restarted my computer and it still says the game is running, so I looked in the task manager's details and I found these but whenever I try to end them it says access denied

#

I'd love to post a picture here but for some reason I can't

uncut trellis
#

You can link to pictures

quaint jewel
#

Are you running antivirus?

wheat breach
#

What do you mean?

#

Like scanning with one or do I have one?

quaint jewel
#

If you get access denied on these suspended processes it means someone with more rights than you took these processes and locked them for itself.
Antivirus might do such a thibg. I guess battleye might too.

wheat breach
#

I do see a BEService in my Services but it says its stopped and I also can't start it

#

When i try to start it it just immediatley goes back to stopped

quaint jewel
#

BE service starts itself when Arma is started with battleye enabled

#

what I find weird.. is that these arma3_x64.exe don't have an icon in task manager..

#

Can you enable the command line in task manager?
In details panel right click onto the "Name/PID/Status" header, select "select columns" and enable "commandline" or "imagepath" and check that these are really the arma3_x64.exe in your Arma folder

wheat breach
#

The image says its the real Arma 3 exe

quaint jewel
#

🤔 weird then. Well as I said if you have antivirus software enabled it might be interfering with that

wheat breach
#

My anti virus is currently off

#

I can't even close it with admin command prompt

gusty snow
#

@fallow swan Revoke the permission to write

#

the bots wont stop

fallow swan
#

can't

gusty snow
#

Welp,shit

fallow swan
#

I pinged Dwarden

gusty snow
#

apparently multiple servers are having this issue

#

@gusty snow we take no action in this I’m pretty sure you know spectre well natho is the owner of it and apparently him and this person had a fight and his trying to cause as much trouble for multiple servers

#

owner rof the serrver being spammed said this

#

basically a guy is pissed off and wants to cause trouble for multiple servers

fallow swan
#

I thought so

#

I'm at work only on my mobile, so I can't even research any useful bot commands for mass control

gusty snow

quaint jewel
#

if you have info about the source of this please forward to moderators

austere scaffold
#

not contact dlc items are present in the mission or placed down after init

grim tinsel
#

did this just happen once on one missionfile or on multiple furretpeek ? @austere scaffold

quaint jewel
#

i read about links to solutions to that on BIF, but never looked at them

austere scaffold
#

Multiple

#

Same mission, different saves

#

as in redownloaded file

#

I could try renaming the mission and try again

#

Would you be able to link them pretty please @quaint jewel

quaint jewel
#

no time to search now

#

just put your error msg in forum search

austere scaffold
#

found it thanks

pallid lava
#

hello, got a small problem in warlords (official server 00) , it seems like we can't select the enemy base, and our base lacks the blue square too.

past stream
#

So i just purchased the game and i'm getting horrible fps drops, i've got a i5-4690K and a 1060 6GB but i stay at 50 fps and when anything even something as moving my head happends it drops very lowe

#

And I currently have everything set to high

#

Even when turning the graphics down to standard the excact same thing happens

normal crest
#

@past stream 64-bit and SSD?

past stream
#

Yep on both

normal crest
#

okay, should be awesome then-- what scenario? Or map? Or is it just everywhere?

past stream
#

Pretty much everywhere

#

Even when doing the first VR test when first launching the game i get fine "idle" fps but very bad drops

normal crest
#

okay, that limits the possibilities a lot

past stream
#

Alright

normal crest
#

I'm gonna take a quick look around brb

past stream
#

Sweet, thanks

normal crest
#

Do you use Nvidia experience?

past stream
#

I do yeah, i tried optimizing it through there, same thing though

normal crest
#

and it has game-ready drivers installed up to date?

past stream
#

Yep yep

normal crest
#

which version, like APEX, Contact, base?

past stream
#

Base i belive

normal crest
#

does it have a 64-bit launcher?

past stream
#

Hmm don't know, It currently uses the 32 bit one

marsh pewter
#

Launcher > Parameters > Platform

past stream
#

Ah Alright

normal crest
#

okay, I know the base game had performance issues at 32 bit. Try updating to get the 64 bit launcher

past stream
#

Will do

normal crest
#

hope it works for ya, have fun!

past stream
#

Thanks!

#

Oh hold on

round lance
#

it was already on 64-bit then?

normal crest
#

okay so it is launching 64-bit

past stream
#

Yeah

round lance
#

try setting up extra parameters

normal crest
#

scratches head

round lance
#

specify RAM for it

#

VRAM aswell

#

cores

#

etc.

past stream
#

Alright

normal crest
#

is it a laptop?

round lance
#

just hover over things if you don't know what they mean.

#

it will give you a description.

past stream
#

Nope, PC @normal crest And yeah of course @round lance

normal crest
#

the reason I asked about laptop is the common dual video driver issue.

past stream
#

Hmm alright

normal crest
#

a user posted this on the forum but it seems a bit iffy for your situation,
"I have resolved the issue by setting maxmem to half of my physical RAM (8192) and increasing the OS pagefile to the same as my physical RAM (16384)."

past stream
#

I mean my cpu hits ~90% when launching the game

#

Alright

normal crest
#

stock cooling?

past stream
#

Nope, proper air cooler

normal crest
#

hmmm

past stream
#

Yeah i'm pretty confused

normal crest
#

will you try running in a window to see if that changes anything?

past stream
#

Yeah sure , just gotta load into a mission real quick

#

Yeah setting the memory and such didnt help

normal crest
past stream
#

Hmm trying that

#

Alright changed the config file, booting the game up now

#

So i mean

#

It kinda helped

#

I still get from 40-60 fps but it dosen't freeze now atleast

normal crest
#

what is the view distance?

past stream
#

2200

normal crest
#

is that terrain or object?

past stream
#

Overall

normal crest
#

okay, so should be blazing fast

past stream
#

huh

#

This is really wierd

normal crest
#

now I wonder if it might not be better to turn that up a bit

#

try terrain at like 3-5k and keep objects at 2 or even go down to one

past stream
#

just made it worse

normal crest
#

okay, that's good to know. Change that back and try sampling at 80%

past stream
#

Alright

#

God this is driving me insane

#

Not the best first look of the game so far

normal crest
#

Agreed

round lance
#

how much RAM do you have koala?

past stream
#

16GBs

round lance
#

hmmm

#

could try setting the maxmemory to 12-14 gigs, see if that helps.

past stream
#

Tried setting it to 8 and it didnt

normal crest
#

yeah if changing the memory helped maybe play with it a bit more

past stream
#

And changing the sampling to 80 and no change

normal crest
#

yeah, I don't think it's the GPU

round lance
#

are you overclocking?

past stream
#

Nope

#

Alright yeah, I gotta go now. I'll refund the game for now, appreciate the help though

#

I'll wait until the game has better optimization

#

That's my best bet

normal crest
#

I wouldn't hold my breath on that one... 😄

#

have fun!

round lance
#

yep, cya.

past stream
#

Fair enough, yeah see ya

normal crest
#

I almost got rid of the 32-bit version because of performance but the 64-bit version runs like hot butter on this laptop

pallid lava
#

I have a bug where, when using the nightstalker or optics in a vehicle the game will zoom in as much as possible, without letting me zoom out

tried spamming zoom in, zoom out, unplugging controllers, restarting game and computer

tropic yarrow
#

Modded or vanilla

pallid lava
#

vanilla

#

also does it with other thermal optics , but didn't seem to bug with marksman/sniper scopes

tropic yarrow
#

Is it reproducable with the way you were describing above? I would make a ticket detailing affected scopes and provide possibly a scenario file that you use.

pallid lava
#

I will try it if it continues, ty

uncut trellis
#

Got any game controllers?

tropic yarrow
#

unplugging controllers

#

he's already tried unplugging them it seems

#

maybe arma needs a restart before detecting the absence of a controller?

pallid lava
#

I tried that one too

grim tinsel
#

@pallid lava Does it just zoom in all the way right when you get in?

pallid lava
#

it zooms all the way in whenever I try to aim

grim tinsel
#

So when you open the sight?

tropic yarrow
#

and you tried num plus and minus for zooming in and out?

pallid lava
#

yep, and yep too

#

trying to reproduce the bug in VR arsenal, but everything seems normal there

grim tinsel
#

Where did the error occur?

pallid lava
#

in warlords

grim tinsel
#

As in map/mission

#

Hm

uncut trellis
#

Perhaps needs a profile reset.

pallid lava
#

in the editor on the map altis it does come back.

#

ok, it seems using the mouse right click triggers the bug, I could work around and use only toggle aim. BUT a single click of the right mouse button will cause the bug to come back, and once it's there it's not going away for that vehicle/scope

#

gonna do the good old uninstall/reinstall

grim tinsel
#

Btw I just got the bug again where you get static instead of engine noise and the game crashes after a while, did anyone ever figure out what caused it?

wise barn
#

sounds like audio buffer overflow

#

USB audio device?

grim tinsel
#

Yup

brave hawk
#

Hey there; I can't use Game Updater to get the DevBranch, once logged in the GU doesn't do anything - any ideas?

chrome current
#

Do you have Steam 2FA enabled? There were some issues with that.

brave hawk
#

yep I have

#

I also checked the cache, it seems I had 2 missing files

chrome current
#

afaik GU isn't working with 2FA on, at least as of a couple months ago when I last tried.

brave hawk
#

welp, then it's that. I could use it last year, not this time then.

F this!

Hey, excuse me, how to write scripts. TXT of BE Rule Filter, because there are many hackers who cheat by script injection or other means, affecting the balance of the game, thank you!

regal canyon
#

alright so i like just bought the game and im doing the tutorial, and i like to hold down my mouse button to aim, but theres so many other button assignments that im not sure whats going on, could someone help?

round lance
#

@regal canyon while it would probably hinder your gameplay more than help it, there should be an "aim temporary" keybind of sorts in the weapons tab in controls settings.

regal canyon
#

oh ok thanks~

#

!*

round lance
#

Make sure to unbind zoom in temporary from the views category so it doesn't conflict.

hollow rain
vestal yacht
#

That code sets a tooltip to a button on a GUI and set's an action to that same button. Could be cheating, could not be

hollow rain
#

@vestal yacht I've written 1 "buttonSetAction" in scripts. txt. I compared the records of all players, but only two players had such records.

vestal yacht
#

Still doesn't say much, you need a pretty good knowledge of the mission you're running to be abl to tell if it's scripting or not

hollow rain
#

thanks a lot!

tulip jewel
#

Hey guys i have some issues with my settings and i can't reach 60 FPS in warlord ! Is that normal ?

vestal yacht
#

Do you normally reach 60 FPS?

tulip jewel
#

Yeah on all recent games

vestal yacht
#

no I mean in arma

tulip jewel
#

Nope

#

That's so weird because i have an i5 7400 with GTX 970,16gb of RAM which is not bad at all !

uncut trellis
#

its not weird

#

sounds like quite normal Arma

40ish FPS is pretty much the standard

I've been having a problem with the audio of vehicles. While in first person, all is fine, and I can hear the rotors and other noise. As soon as I go into 3rd person, the rotor sound disappears until I free look left or right, or up or down. If the 3rd person camera is behind the helicopter or other aircraft, I hear no noise.

Hey

#

Can anyone here help my friend with his PC not having permission to launch a file

#

arma3_x64.exe

#

It just says it doesn't have enough permission to launch it

regal canyon
#

me and my friend want to play together but we dont know how to get into a lobby/same server, how do?

round lance
#

Use the steam overlay, as you would with any other steam game @regal canyon

#

Or use the friends tab.

#

@strong sail run it as admin then.

regal canyon
#

i tried and it only said "invite to watch game"

strong sail
#

We did run it as a admin

round lance
#

Not invite, join.

#

@strong sail tell him to shut down steam, launch it as admin, and then try to run arma again.

strong sail
#

We tried that too

round lance
#

Is it his computer?

strong sail
#

I mean I guess? I don't know.

#

Just doesn't let him launch

#

at all

round lance
#

Try verifying game cache

#

There's friends tab in the Arma launchers server list too.

Does anyone know how to prevent players from briefly appearing at their death location when they respawn? When a player dies the respawn menu layer opens and, after the respawn timer is done, the player selects a respawn location and clicks the respawn button. Upon clicking the respawn button the player (in vanilla gear) briefly (~0.5 s) appears at the location of death before being moved to the selected respawn location.

round lance
#

nope, it's how the system works.

#

or at least how the vanilla respawn system does.

any one why tadst isnct connecting to arma server?

golden yoke
#

I'm trying to run a dedicated server with TADST, however it doesn't seem to be loading all my mods

lethal stone
#

'Hi. My server use ace mod as a must have mod. The thing is, we decided to use tank dlc's vehicles in our missions but it seems that if i load the ace mod, i cant find my dlc's vehicle in 3den. Merkava has the ace logo right next to it. Isn't it supposed to be Slammer instead?
even Rhino MGS is not available
how do i solve this?

quaint jewel
#

ACE gives the arma vehicles their real life names

#

they do that in the realistic names pbo

lethal stone
#

so it is still the same vehicle?

#

because i just noticed that the class name is the same

quaint jewel
#

yes

lethal stone
#

there's changes made in dlc right? like slammer have lower size barrel than merkava but better armor

#

if i put it in the editor, how would it affects player with dlc and those who dont?

golden yoke
#

Do I need to make a description.ext for MP mission on dedi?

lethal stone
#

@golden yoke better to use it for flexibility

quaint jewel
#

there's changes made in dlc right? like slammer have lower size barrel than merkava but better armor
no
if i put it in the editor, how would it affects player with dlc and those who dont?
Doesn't, besides the normal DLC restrictions

Do I need to make a description.ext for MP mission on dedi?
no

golden yoke
#

Weird I can't seem to join my dedi

#

.rpt shows a lot of BEServer: cannot find channel #927829158, users.card=0 and a lot of Server error: Player without identity Dpatt711 (id 927829158)

golden yoke
#

Besides that not really seeing anything standout for the server itself

#

6:21:52 SteamAPI initialization failed. Steam features won't be accessible!

#

Will that cause any issues or is that normal?

quaint jewel
#

normal

golden yoke
#

okay so definitely not my client, can connect to other servers fine

#

And this is my .bat

arma3server_x64.exe -port=2302 -world=empty -config=Server_Config.cfg -profiles=C:\Games\ArmA3\A3Master\Users -name=Server 
#

Ports I have 2302-2306 UDP In/Out and 2344 TCP/UDP Out

quaint jewel
#

you have a firewall on outgoing connections?

#

maybe just try opening it

#

the server needs to contact steam services, maybe your firewall blocks that

golden yoke
quaint jewel
#

just try opening all outgoing ports

golden yoke
#

I set all outgoing to open as well

#

maybe 32 bit will work

#

no dice

quaint jewel
#

maybe 32 bit will work
see absolutely no reason why that would make a difference

golden yoke
#

BE has different .dlls for 32 and 64 figured might as well

#

Is the server not loading things correctly or something?

#

heh

#

I'm an idiot

#

I forgot Windows firewall is a thing

#

I was only opening ports on the server provider CP

golden yoke
#

Now I just have to figure out why my mods won't load

#

.rpt makes it look like they loaded just fine, but in browser they don't show up under expansions and when I try to join it gives me the unsigned key error

grim tinsel
#

Unsigned key doesnt mean that the mods havent loaded @golden yoke

golden yoke
#

Or rather the "key is not part of a key accepted by server" or whatever message

grim tinsel
#

Did you put the mods .bikey files into the keys folder of the server?

golden yoke
#

I thought I shouldn't need for mods actually loaded on the server

quaint jewel
#

thought wrong

grim tinsel
golden yoke
#

yeah so I guess that works

#

just weird it doesn't show up in the expansions like other servers

#

Definitely is working though, because when I try to load it with the keys in, but mods not loaded it throws a fit

#

@tiny imp when the team post announcements in the #announcements room can you start pressing the "publish" button next to it, so that it cascades out to other discords that follow said announcement room.
Same applies to the Twitter room.

#

When someone follows the channel for announcements it isn't automatically cascaded to "followers" and their discords you've gotta select "publish"

#

cc @fading cloak

fading cloak
#

Sure thing!

#

Will keep that in mind for future posts @hasty vine

hasty vine
#

Worked! see it in our discord now 🙂

fading cloak
#

Nice!

#

I probably wont do it with the previous ones though, don't wanna spam everyone, but I'll definitely do it each time I do a new post now. Thanks for letting me know, I assume this is a new feature? Haven't seen it before :p

hasty vine
#

Yeh its a new feature, I'd try and keep things on topic though as it may get a little spammy as you say

#

I'd try to work out what people expect from each channel e.g. for dev announcements are they more interested in game updates or the blogs you guys also do

#

thats the tricky part 😛

supple crystal
#

Maybe a new channel should be made, dev_announcements should only be game update related stuff IMO

tulip jewel
#

Hey guys ! Can anyone tell me which settings in arma 3 have the most CPU cost ?

quaint jewel
#

viewdistance

sinful island
quaint jewel
#

as it effects all graphic options
Resolution is GPU.

sinful island
#

I meant more that running a higher resolution means more hit for multiple other options, just like distance does.

tulip jewel
#

@sinful island laughed for this one :D i just wondered if it was possible to get a solid 50 FPS in KOTH

sinful island
tulip jewel
#

OK thanks for helping 😀 i will see with this guide !

quaint jewel
#

I meant more that running a higher resolution means more hit for multiple other options, just like distance does.
yes but he asked specifically about CPU

fringe salmon
#

The big one is object visibility distance, overall view distance to a lesser extent. Compounding on those is object quality and terrain quality which also impact on the CPU. Bringing obj view distance down to 2k and the object and terrain quality on high can achieve decent FPS on a modern CPU assuming the mission is written well.

sinful island
#

Ah, yeah. I misread. Thanks Dedmen!

So for some reason when I switched wifi's, arma had to reinstall again along with all the mods. It was about 80 percent done downloading then my computer crashed and it caused all my mods to say they weren't downloaded. Now this is kinda getting annoying since it's about 170gb worth of memory I need to redownload every time the game does this crap.

quaint jewel
#

"the game does this crap"
no it doesn't.
Steam does.

copper saffron
#

Mmmm ok then steam. But is there any way to prevent this? Arma is the only game that has this issue.

wise barn
#

no

#

maybe

delicate elm
#

Maybe Steam doesn't copy over any of the mods from their temporary download location to the workshop folder until all upgraded mods are downloaded. Doesn't make sense though... cause I see the green bar load option come up as each uploads... so thinking that the mod manifest is not updated.

Anybody know why all of a sudden my server seems to have stopped letting me connect

#

client just gets stuck on loading screen and server rpt just keeps getting spammed with "player with no identity"

#

Thing was it worked perfectly fine before

#

but I shut it down, restarted it, and now I can't connect

#

no changes to mods or config

#

no errors thrown on client rpt

golden yoke
#

no problems connecting to other servers

#

double checked hosts port settings and windows ports

#

tried leaving it connecting for 10+ minutes no luck

#

tried wiping the volume and doing full reinstall

#

and now it works

Arma "bug"/Feature

loooong known

#

hi guys, im having issues hosting my squad xmls, they can be accessed online but arma said that it can not parse the file. even though it is seemingly configured correctly

#

could there be an issue if the port is defined in the url?

Hill: Does anyone know how to prevent players from briefly appearing at their death location when they respawn? When a player dies the respawn menu layer opens and, after the respawn timer is done, the player selects a respawn location and clicks the respawn button. Upon clicking the respawn button the player (in vanilla gear) briefly (~0.5 s) appears at the location of death before being moved to the selected respawn location.

Lankercool: nope, it's how the system works. or at least how the vanilla respawn system does.

#

Which part of the respawn system is responsible?

quaint jewel
#

could there be an issue if the port is defined in the url?
Could be, never tried that I think.
it is seemingly configured correctly
is it really though?

vestal yacht
#

From what I can tell (so accessing it over the web via the link) he did configure it correctly

golden yoke
#

Huh weird

#

So I'm using AWS EC2 for my hosting

#

I got everything setup and working on a t2.medium

#

100% no issues

#

But when I change the instance to m5.large I get infinite loading screen and Player without identity error

#

Both are 1 phys core 2 vcore setups

#

RAM is 16gb instead of 4gb

#

Both use the same EBS volume

#

Reinstalled directx and visusl 2013 under the m5

Hello all
I'm having a major issue with my scenario.
I'm getting "Error when loading scenario" message when I load it
Has someone had the issue recently?
Posts on internet are all very old
I check RPT file but nothing consistent
I reverted to an older version but same thing
Tried opening another one and didn't get any issue

sinful island
quaint jewel
sinful island
#

True.

#

But it would just be text, no?

quaint jewel
#

optimized for huge amounts of text.
and compressed storage/transmission

#

and auto delete after a week

sinful island
#

True. SQFbin/hastebin on mobile gets killed often by large RPTs. Though I'm not sure long text alone would be much better.

stark patio
sinful island
#

The mission name being blank seems odd to me.

stark patio
#

Right................

stark patio
#

no one got an Idea?

sinful island
#

Repack your mission, maybe the file is messed up. Make sure the file isn't somehow named just a blank .Altis.

stark patio
#

Okay, let's jump to level two support here please :)
I have already done all that

sinful island
#

Then there is zero info that directly points to a cause in the RPT. Do you get this when loading it in the editor?

stark patio
#

That is where I get the error. In EDEN

sinful island
#

Sorry, I'm officially out of ideas. Last I saw that error was years ago with a mission when EDEN was new. I'd guess something got corrupted along the way. When you reverted, did you revert only the sqm or the entire mission?

stark patio
#

reverted full mission folder

quaint jewel
#

!issuewarning @fringe salmon crossposting

pallid krakenBOT
#

Done.

fringe salmon
#

wow

#

okay

#

@quaint jewel I dont really know which one does it go well with

#

so I "cross posted"

quaint jewel
#

You have a problem, thus troubleshooting.

#

I don't care why, you violated the rules, there's a reason it's forbidden.
You could've moved your message instead of crossposting.

fringe salmon
#

Why is crossposting such a big problem 🤣

quaint jewel
#

because it wastes peoples time.

sinful island
#

Because it is insanely hard to keep track of all the messages in here, let alone if they are copied in many channels.

fringe salmon
#

ok

fringe salmon
#

can anyone help me?

#

I have port forwarded using upnp and no errors "setting up port forward, please wait" and thats the only message

#

I choose antistasi mission and my friend cant find my server

#

or join my server

#

it didnt port forward or what?

stark patio
#

Ideas about my scenario issue?

quaint jewel
#

upnp never worked for me

fringe salmon
#

so what do i do?

quaint jewel
#

just manual port forward

fringe salmon
#

I already did that

#
  • you dont even read dms
quaint jewel
#

Yeah, I don't even read your third crosspost today.

fringe salmon
#

give me all 3 crossposts

#

all 3 that I have apparently done

quaint jewel
#

Did you make sure all firewalls are disabled?

#

have you checked that the ISP even supports that?

fringe salmon
#

you do realize that pms dont count as crosspost?

#

the other 2 I admit that counts but in dms its never crosspost

uncut trellis
#

@fringe salmon Friendly advice here. What youre starting now never ends well.

#

You need help with something, thats obvious, but this is not 24/7 hotline for help. Your will need to have patience

quaint jewel
#

You are trying to tell a moderator what a crosspost is and what isn't? really?

fringe salmon
#

Dedmen lmao youre trying to find every reason for a warn

#

@uncut trellis im just clueless with my friend. we trying to set up a server and we have done everything but it still doesnt appear on servers list

mighty pier
#

who does read direct messages from randoms.....I don't

fringe salmon
#

lmao

quaint jewel
#

I tried to troubleshoot with you yesterday, I asked 5 questions yesterday to try to find your issue out of which you answered about a quarter of one.
Now I asked again and you are again not answering. Not sure if you are really looking for help here.

fringe salmon
#

WHAT did you ask this time?

mighty pier
#

nice caps....lol

quaint jewel
#

scroll up and search the question mark

uncut trellis
#

Youre really working against yourself here.

fringe salmon
#

can you copy paste again? im on phone and search doesnt show the recent msges

quaint jewel
#

You just have to scroll up to 20 minutes ago

fringe salmon
#

sure all firewalls are disabled? all firewalls? He disabled windows defender firewall
Server, router, windows ? What server and what router and what windows?
potential ddos protection on serverside Wydm, he pressed "Host server" in server browser
what ports did he forward? 2302-2306 both UDP and TCP
2302-2306? both UDP?
Maybe he is behind a double NAT, and his internet provider doesn't even let these ports through I doubt that the internet provider doesnt let the ports go through
Main question is that what should he do about trigger port?

#

@quaint jewel if you can/want to help us than let us add you to the call or just chat in dms, I dont want to make any problems here about mention spam, cross post etc - just want to settle this and so that me and my friend can enjoy our game

round lance
#

did you port forward?

#

if yes, then disable uPnP

fringe salmon
#

bro

#

we tried everything

#

I searched half of the internet on how to port forward and how to create a server in arma 3

round lance
#

well i'm just saying, cause you mentioned you port-forwarded AND used uPnP at the same time earlier.

fringe salmon
#

when he will come home I will ask him for the screenshot of what he sees when he tries to port forward, but I am sure that he did manage it

#

@round lance we tried with both, without upnp, with upnp and without port forward

#

We did everything, trust me. he even cried that we still couldnt manage

quaint jewel
#

I doubt that the internet provider doesnt let the ports go through
You doubt, but you don't know.
That is especially common with cable internet providers. Like coax cable like Unitymedia in germany

wise barn
#

@fringe salmon
IPv4 or IPv6?

fringe salmon
#

@wise barn I used ipv6 in direct connect

quaint jewel
#

Arma doesn't support ipv6

wise barn
#

then you're out of luck

fringe salmon
#

and dedmen we are from latvia and I have tp link router and he has LMT (off brand) cus nowhere to be found in google in english except our language

wise barn
#

as said, IPv6 does not work

fringe salmon
#

where can I get ipv4?

wise barn
#

only your ISP can provide you with that

fringe salmon
#

oh boi

wise barn
#

but i doubt your ISP will give you IPv4 on request

#

almost no ISPs do that anymore unless you have a business contract

fringe salmon
#

is this what every host did? ask isp for the ipv4?

round lance
#

are you sure you don't have an ipv4 already?

fringe salmon
#

I just opened cmd and wrote ipconfig and I can legit see my ipv4 address

quaint jewel
#

Most people get ipv4 with their internet connection, without any additional request or payment

round lance
#

use that one

fringe salmon
#

oh

quaint jewel
#

ipconfig doesn't show you your external ipv4 address

fringe salmon
#

ohhh

round lance
#

true

quaint jewel
round lance
#

use ipchicken or similar stuff like that on google.

quaint jewel
#

The lmt website has barely any information about what they offer

fringe salmon
#

sooo if you write in google "whats my ip" and click first link, it shows the ipv4 address? the one that people can get to and get you ddosed?

quaint jewel
#

It just says "Internet for home. 21€"

#

Yes...?

#

IPv6 can also be ddosed.

fringe salmon
#

xd i am so dumb at networking, but than that means we do have access to ipv4 if we just enter whats my ip in google

quaint jewel
#

if the website actually shows you a ipv4 address then yes

#

does the guy hosting the server also have one?

fringe salmon
#

how can we know that its the real ipv4 without having to talk to isp?

#

im pretty sure that he has one

#

ill confirm when he gets on, that could be in 1 hour as he is driving home rn

wise barn
#

@quaint jewel
all ip sites show me an IPv4 address even though i'm pretty sure that i don't have one. got deactivated by my ISP

quaint jewel
#

there is ipv4overipv6 magic

#

so maybe

#

LMT looks very cheap and they don't give any details on their website... So.... Not sure

#

Your router will tell you if you have a real ipv4 or are just being routed over ipv6

#

Also it seems to be mobile internet, via 4G 🤔

fringe salmon
#

no no, he has internet router and mobile internet is mobile data

#

Dedmen when he will come home I will mention if you if you are ok with that

fringe salmon
#

@quaint jewel okay my friend is home, sorry for tag if it annoys, soo should we add you to the call or you cant help us?

quaint jewel
#

I won't join a call

fringe salmon
#

you can have your mic muted

#

idc about your voice, I just need info on how to host

#

well if you cant/dont want to help us just say so

#

no hard feelings, ill just have to look for more info

sinful island
#

You can always just get your buddy in here and ask for help.

quaint jewel
#

we can chat here ¯_(ツ)_/¯

fringe salmon
#

ok

#

@fringe salmon

#

yup

#

So

#

we did everything

#

inbound rules of firewall, used hamachi, disabled firewall, windows antivirus disabled

#

we legit did everything and I highly doubt that the ISP doesnt let the ports work

#

idk about other countries but we have a system here that if you buy internet the ISP gives you a free router and I really doubt that they would actually give you a router and wont let you port forward

sinful island
#

Using hamachi should be ruled out for now and seeing if one of your servers is accessible is probably the best bet. Get a shot of those port forwarding rules and link it here.

fringe salmon
#

you mean this?

quaint jewel
#

screenshot of the settings made in your friends router

quaint jewel
#

The lan address is internal only, no need to blank that out.
Is the lan address the correct one? Shows on server hosters "ipconfig"?

fringe salmon
#

yup

quaint jewel
#

Why is 2306 seperate? shouldn't make a difference though

fringe salmon
#

I read on some other post that it may help out

quaint jewel
#

does the router show your external ipaddress on it's main page?
To check if you really have real ipv4, and not fake ipv4 via ipv6

fringe salmon
#

dont know about him but mine shows LAN ip address and even WAN ip address

quaint jewel
#

and on whatismyip page it tells you your ipv4? or doesn't it list any?

#

if there is none listed, you cannot host Arma server

fringe salmon
#

it does tell me my ipv4 address

quaint jewel
#

If ipv4 is really really working, and your firewall is checked too. And the port forward looks correct.
Then maybe your ISP simply doesn't even forward these ports to you.

#

That's not a rare thing

#

especially not with cheap ISP's

fringe salmon
#

maybe

#

I will get in contact with my isp later

sinful island
#

At the amount of trouble you are having, it may be better just to rent a server or have someone you know has been successful at doing this before host it for you.

It's really hard to diagnose these sorts of things as it's not a network setup that is known to us.

fringe salmon
#

yea

#

ty for the help anyway

#

There is one thing I want to say though. When I try to host the server with upnp checkbox enabled (I've also enabled upnp in my router settings) it shows me an error message saying that "port forwarding setup failed". But when my friend tried hosting the server with the upnp enabled, it didn't show him any error messages... So technically the port forwarding setup worked and his server should show up on the server list... but it didn't, I couldn't find it.

quaint jewel
#

upnp not failing with an error doesn't mean that port forwarding is working

fringe salmon
#

hmm okay

sinful island
#

Most ISPs are disabling UPnP on their gateways as they are afraid of DDoS/botnet usage.

fringe salmon
#

so only chance of actually hosting a server is to keep an eye out for port forwarding right? Like the port forward is the most important key here?

sinful island
#

Firewalls too, but yes. If you can't even direct join with the launcher, it's likely networking related.

fringe salmon
#

ok thanks for the help mate

grim tinsel
#

At this point renting a small server is propably easier

uncut trellis
#

you guys can connect to other servers though?

fringe salmon
#

yes

sinful island
#

None of the common ones.

fringe salmon
#

ok

#

service port should be 2302-2306?

#

internal port - blank

#

ip address - (have no clue what to put here)

#

protocol - all (I think)

#

and status ofc enabled

#

.....
thats it?

sinful island
#

IP address is your internal IP of your machine.

fringe salmon
#

and I figure that out by going in cmd and take the ipv4 address?

sinful island
#

ipconfig should tell you, yes. Probably a 192.168.x.x

fringe salmon
#

ok

#

and the rest?

#

im concerned about the protocols, do I leave them at all or udp or tcp

quaint jewel
#

all udp

fringe salmon
#

ok and what about the internal port?

quaint jewel
#

your screenshot says you should leave it blank so.. what about it?

fringe salmon
#

im just trying to figure out if its needed or needs to be left blank

quaint jewel
#

The web page tells you to leave it blank...

fringe salmon
#

oh

#

first thing I saw was the list

#

I need to change anything in the screenshot above or press save and do I have to make more ports or I can go straight in game and host server?

quaint jewel
#

looks good

fringe salmon
#

ok soooo what do I do now? go host or add more ports

quaint jewel
#

save and done.

fringe salmon
quaint jewel
#

as I said, internal ip address is only internal to you, no reason to blank it out

#

yes

thin pier
#

Anyone know how to fix the random fps drops im getting thats stopping me from being able to play this game

fringe salmon
#

@thin pier drivers, lower settings, windows updates - 3 main things for me

quaint jewel
#

SSD instead of HDD

thin pier
#

@fringe salmon how do i fix it

sinful island
#

Especially if you get that when flying or moving fast, SSD as Dedmen said, is the way to go.

fringe salmon
#

Dedmen so, how do I properly host it. In port section I enter 2302 or 2306 or maybe 2302-2306? And how about UPNP? I check that or nah?

thin pier
#

it was fine like 20 mins ago before a windows update

quaint jewel
#

@fringe salmon you just leave port as it is.
upnp makes no sense as you already forwarded the ports

fringe salmon
#

ok

thin pier
#

how do i fix it vFAR

fringe salmon
#

fix what

thin pier
#

the fps

quaint jewel
#

Buy a better computer

thin pier
#

its unplayable

fringe salmon
#

what are your specs?

quaint jewel
#

uninstall the windows update that was installed.

thin pier
#

how

#

i have 4k hours on arma my pc aint poop

fringe salmon
#

Dedmen btw how should my friend look for the server? Server Browser -> Internet -> Filter -> HOST = vFar and thats it? My server should pop up?

thin pier
#

he can use the server ip

quaint jewel
#

server browser -> servers of friends

#

or direct connect via external ip

fringe salmon
#

ok

quaint jewel
#

ye

thin pier
#

yeah or server ip

#

if your on a box

#

dedmen how do I uninstall the windows upate

quaint jewel
fringe salmon
#

So I just "hosted the server" everything loaded up, no errors sooo I should pick a mission and my friend can start looking for my server?

quaint jewel
#

your friend should already see it

fringe salmon
#

oh

#

alright

#

Dedmen, nope my server isnt popping up - 2 factors

  1. He has apex dlc and I dont
  2. My isp doesnt allow ports
quaint jewel
#
  1. you were already told that doesn't matter
fringe salmon
#

what doesnt matter?

#

the dlc?

quaint jewel
#

yes

#

If you are both on the same ISP, then you both likely have the same problem

sinful island
#

The DLC doesn't matter if the server isn't hosting a tanoa map, you were already told this.

fringe salmon
#

ok ok

#

we both cant host because WE live in latvia

#

so annoyed rn

oak quarry
#

Hello, i need help

uncut trellis
#

heay. best to go ahead and ask your question

oak quarry
#

I have Arma 3 installed with over 200 mods too, and game is still in installed directory and playable but all of a sudden it shows "Install" on steam as i haven't downloaded it yet, even i played it today few hours ago

uncut trellis
#

steam for some reasong bugs like that sometimes

#

you can try verifying game files

#

or restarting steam

oak quarry
#

not even showing that option

#

can i send screenshots of problem here?

uncut trellis
#

its not necessary

#

its a known issue that happens at random

oak quarry
#

any fix about it?

uncut trellis
#

did you try restarting steam?

oak quarry
#

yes, multiple times

sinful island
#

You can try renaming the folder, starting the steam install, pausing and killing steam, deleting the new folder, renaming your folder back, and then relaunch steam where it should then start verifying. Not guaranteed though.

oak quarry
#

gonna try right now

#

unable to download again because of low disk space, will try later

#

is there any other fix about that?

sinful island
#

Nothing I can think of unfortunately.

grim tinsel
#

@sinful island Iirc you can also tell steam to install the game in the same directory and steam should recognise the files, at least it's worked for me

#

Also @fringe salmon verify game files via steam

fringe salmon
#

im doing it now

#

its been on99% for 40mins now

sinful island
#

Should do. But it doesnt always. That's the way I moved things between drives before there was an option.

grim tinsel
#

Hm ye fair point

thin pier
#

#

Can anyone help me ?

grim tinsel

We cant if you dont tell us your problem @thin pier

I have played arma for like over 3k hours but now randomly i cant because when ever i join a server it has 1fps and keeps going up to like 40 then straight back down

#

can we change the range of radar?

#

yes, check your keybinds and learn to have a bit more patience

oak quarry
#

ok i can find keybinds but patience for what?

#

Evening everyone.
My Arma 3 game disappeared from my steam. Any fixes for this..?

grim tinsel
#

disappeared as in uninstalled, or disappeared as in gone in the library? @daring notch

daring notch
#

Gone in the library. I managed to trick steam into recognizing the install directory so now its validating the files... i think. Is this supposed to happen? 🙂

grim tinsel
#

I managed to trick steam into recognizing the install directory so now its validating the files...
Tells me its uninstalled though think2

#

And nop not supposed to happen, just a steam thing

#

Had steam forget whole drives before heh

daring notch
#

Its not uninstalled; its in my E disk still, so i just told steam to go look there and apparantly it found it

#

Its just taking a hellishly long time

grim tinsel
#

Ye I mean uninstalled in the steam library

daring notch
#

Mhm, that it did say

Fixed it.

I'm having troubles with advanced towing,rappeling, and urban rappelling. I've made sure they'e loaded on the server there's no error in the rpt but the options in the menu don't show up once i'm on the server. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I haven't found any fixes just people with a similar problem.

I keep getting the Unable To Init DXGI when loading the game and entering the main menu or randomly when in a server.

#

Im using DUWS and none of my mods are working. the ace names work but nothing else. in the configure addons it says "start a mission"

oak quarry
#

I just reinstalled my Arma 3 and now i want to download 272 mods i subscribed from workshop, but problem is that i have installed my Arma 3 in F drive which has 112GB free space for 87GB mods, but steam is downloading workshop mods in C drive rather than F drive and C drive is on low disk space but before mods used to download in F drive where arma was installed

#

any fix about that?

robust pollen
#

I had the same problem and ended up simply reinstalling steam

#

It's basically impossible to get it not to use the C drive, even if you relocate the games to another drive.

oak quarry
#

@robust pollen can't uninstall steam because of many other games, and before arma 3 reinstall i had my arma 3 mods always downloaded in F directory where arma 3 is located

supple crystal
#

You can uninstall steam, just copy/move the common folder where all your games are from C: to F: then reinstall steam to your F: drive and move all the shit into the new common folder

oak quarry
#

@supple crystal there is no game installed in C drive where steam is

supple crystal
#

Well then just uninstall steam and reinstall it, if it was me I would make a copy of your library or just move it somewhere just incase

dim ginkgo
#

Ok does anyone else have the problem with vehicle guns that sometimes they seem to autotarget in a single direction

#

and everytime you try to move it in a direction it'll keep fighting you to go to that area

#

If so does anyone know how to stop that?

robust pollen
#

junaid: you can reinstall steam without having to reinstall your games

#

EPIC GAME STORE...on the other hand, obliterated EVERYTHING when i went to reinstall it

#

aurora I've had problems with the tires on the quad being turned when I get on it, moving the mouse or waiting seems to solve it, your problem, on the other hand, sounds like you have a joystick plugged in

round lance
#

@dim ginkgo ctrl+T should fix it if in the context of UAV turrets.

#

Otherwise could be a mod.

dim ginkgo
#

No its not mods or the vehicle turret lock

#

its just, like, commander guns will just keep trying to stare in one direction

autumn otter
#

so i have a problem that i cant launch game cuz i get the message 0x0000DEAD- any way to fix this?

dim ginkgo
#

and even if i keep fighting it to aim it'll be me constantly turning it against where it's trying to go

grim tinsel
#

Any chance you can provide a short video or something like that so we can see what it looks like? @dim ginkgo

uncut trellis
#

@dim ginkgo you mean AI turns it to some other way?

#

please explain fully what you do and what happens

#

and what do you expect to happen

dim ginkgo
#

I cant put up a video but like, yea its like the AI turns it to a direction

#

not usually at target, just in a direction

#

but like, its constant and I have to keep fighting it

uncut trellis
#

what is it youre trying to do?

dim ginkgo
#

Aim

#

like, aim a gun at something and shoot

uncut trellis
#

are you the gunner?

dim ginkgo
#

yes

uncut trellis
#

then the AI should not have control

dim ginkgo
#

I know

uncut trellis
#

is it modded vehicle?

#

are there AI in the vehicle?

#

how did you take control of it?

dim ginkgo
#

Yes, but it happens with any vehicle, slammers, RHS, Varsuks

#

Doesn't matter if AI are in it or not, it happens when at least 1 other person is inside AI or human

#

and any manner of gaining it causes it

uncut trellis
#

either its some mod causing it, or your install or profile is pooped Id wager

dim ginkgo
#

Hmm

#

Its so weird... cause its definately some kind of autoaim because after it hits the direction it wants to face it will actually slow down, stop and go back since it overshoots it

#

just like the AI

#

but its not at something, its just in a direction, a constant direction every time

uncut trellis
#

you got some haxxors on? 😛

dim ginkgo
#

idk...

#

I doubti t

uncut trellis
#

if you run no mods does it happen?

dim ginkgo
#

I think so, but I can't definitively say yes

uncut trellis
#

then when you can definitely say so we can try to debug it further

dim ginkgo
#

I'll see if I can figure that out, but its not super easy to replicate, its seemingly random

#

but once it starts happening I cant make it stop

#

if my gun is steady for more than a second, it'll start rotating again to the direction it wants to face

#

happens mostly when I'm moving in a vehicle but not always

#

wait no, it does happen even without mods, because thats how I know i've seen it with the Slammer's Commander gun

#

cause I've had to fight it in multiplayer on a no mods server

uncut trellis
#

do you have controllers plugged in?

dim ginkgo
#

Yes but that wouldn't make sense, because then it would want to spin continuously

#

it spins to a specific angle and then stops. if it overshoots, it then spins the other way until its centered itself on the invisible target

uncut trellis
#

well quite easy to test if you unplug it

dim ginkgo
#

it definately happens most often when looking around in third person, but even then it will still happeni n first

uncut trellis
#

also would be good to confirm its actually happening without mods

#

dont recall anyone having such issue here before

dim ginkgo
#

I know, I've looked online for solutions to this and I feel like the only person who's had this issue

#

it just doesn't make any sense to em

#

it actually feels and looks like the AI takes control of my character and targets something but its not actually there

uncut trellis
#

well unplug the controller for starters

dim ginkgo
#

I can try that

uncut trellis
#

AI cant really take control of you

dim ginkgo
#

Thats what I figure but

#

its also not constant which really confuses me, if I let it go all the way around and then move it back where I want it to it will stop for a short time

#

and then if I idle too long it starts rotating again

uncut trellis
#

have you tried verifying your game files on steam?

#

also simple to try is to wipe your arma user profile to get fresh settings

#

or create a new one

dim ginkgo
#

Yea

#

I've done both of those

#

actually done a complete fresh reinstall of it

My game keeps saying "You were kicked from the game" this happens On vanilla servers and on modded. I've disabled all firewalls and defenders I've tried re installing pretty much everything, deleting everything and starting from scratch but nothings working. Im not sure what I can try anymore.

#

@robust pollen are you sure if i reinstall steam then my arma mods will download in drive where my game is located?

oak quarry
#

nevermind i fixed it, never knew it would be that simple

grim tinsel
#

Can you share the fix for others? @oak quarry

oak quarry
#

yes sure, wait a min

#

FIX : I didn't had to completely reinstall steam, i deleted all files of steam from C drive except Steam.exe and steamapps folder, then double clicked on steam.exe which installed steam again with no loss of any game, and the fix for mod download location i received email answer from bohemia interactive, this was easiest fix which worked, open Arma 3 launcher, click on "options" on top right corner, go to launcher options, switch to Mods option and then from there click on Move and chose your folder to get mods downloaded in it, i simply created Arma 3 mods folder in steam library/common in F drive where game was installed and now it works

grim tinsel
#

Thank you for sharing it blobcomfy

#

🙂

#

sorry I didn't have better advice but glad to hear you got it working in the end

#

anyone ever have a problem with arma spawning invulnerable units?

#

nope

Yeah, ALiVE

Of course, the previous ~50-100 units before these died without much issue, but I'd like to think I know when 2 magazines from a zafir and 2 HE rounds from the RPG should kill something...

I am in situation where I dont have the planes dlc and I dont need the controls but when I take em all out (deleting the keybinds) they somehow reappear again

#

what am I doing wrong?

#

is it because I use helicopter?

#

I can confirm that its not the helis fault

uncut trellis
#

what controls?

#

Arma has planes by default too

#

planes DLC does not affect your control scheme at all

fringe salmon
#

the plane keybinds come in the way when I recently changed my helis keybinds from a tutorial

#

I cant use when they both are keybinded, why didnt they implement where I hop on a heli all of the rest of the keybinds just go quiet

#

like plane keybinds deactive or something cus im legit not using a plane

#

they go as red (duplicates)

uncut trellis
#

they should still work

#

plane keys dont affect you if you are in a helo

#

only the common functionality keys are shared between vehicles

fringe salmon
#

so that doesnt matter if my right and left pedal keybinds are red?

uncut trellis
#

if they are red becuase of plane/helo keys then it should not

#

if they are red because you have flares and turn left on one of them

#

that might matter

#

but they will still work

#

they will just to both actions

fringe salmon
#

ok ill test

#

ok they dont affect, but 1 more question

#

whats a good keybind for countermeasures?

uncut trellis
#

where can you reach easily I suppose

#

C does well with keyboard and mouse, all things considered

On a flight stick if you have buttons near your throttle or on it, those are good.

@round lance ik it does even thought ive never used it, it goes in the way of my heli keybind

guys how to properly change fov? I used the arma fov changer and still, no changes it did work on 1st try but the next day its gone, I even just tried on 2 profiles

#

no results, the same fov

round lance

modify it in the game files

#

there's a guide for it if you search online

fringe salmon
#

I know about the config, but lets say my fov is 85

#

do I just enter it in the config?

#

it has numbers with commas but this is just a plain 85 that you enter in the program

#

nvm

#

I found a different tutorial without the program

@orchid grove
check your server RPT files and make sure CUP Terrains Core and Maps are actually loaded

orchid grove
#

@wise barn What will it say if they aren't

#

And how do I load them?

#

@grim tinsel All of the cup maps, the load in the mission selection but when I go to play them it puts me back into the mission selection

Google for arma 3 rpt file location. Once found, open the latest in a Text Editor and check for errors

Maybe Placed this in the wrong text channel but I still need help with this issue.
Is there anyone who can help me, A month ago I was an admin on Official Zeus Sever US#3 and was then "Kicked" From the game. One of my friends who was with said a Scripter cam in and Took over. When I tried to rejoin It told me I was banned, So now I cant Join US#3 without the msg "You were banned". I also was told by one of my other friends there are other people with this same issue. I do know I was not banned by you guys since I can still join other Official Zeus servers.

Welp, this summer's fiasco with Win10 and losing a lot of my settings is still having its affects on me. I've had to reinstall the A3 Tools, re- setup the P: drive, and consequentially have lost the ability to use Buldozer. Taking this time to fix some major issues with my mod, I got the paid version of MikeRo Tools and recompiled everything the right way. The problem is that now I'm able to spend time working on new models, and I need a previewer to ensure the vehicle bones are connected right.

#

I get errors saying it cannot be found, although I've tried using PDM to install, and then tried Arma3p. The path to Buldozer is pointing to .../arma3/arma3.exe, but I've also tried arma3_x64.exe.

Are you running OB from the Arma Tools launcher? OB buldozer works only with the 32 bit exe

Well it's not my problem. It's my friend. And he's too retarded to send me anything. Looking up on google, it looks like a very common problem, but with no fix.

@uncut trellis Yes. I am using A3 Tools to launch OB.

the first who posts the links to the PMC guide gets a cookie

wintry plaza
uncut trellis
#

it states there to not run the tools from the launcher

#

the launcher causes all kinds of windows access issues, especially on win 10

#

always run all the tools from their own exes or direct shortcuts

#

and dont even open the Arma tools launcher

wintry plaza
#

Ok. Which is weird because I used to that fine for years

#

Duly noted

uncut trellis
#

you were just lucky

#

it works 1/10 times

I don't see where it says that specifically, either. I only just found this by doing a google search for buldozer PMC> I wouldn't have known to look for PMC without audiocustoms' comment

It worked every time I did it through Tools

you where todays years old when you learned the right way 😉

But now Win10 is doing a number on my system, so... I guess I'm not so "lucky"

ofc not... you use win10 😂

Not by choice

Launched OB from direct clicking its icon. Still no joy on Buldozer. Here's my options entry:

and you have P drive set up with the simple subst :p?

you might need to run that normally

then as admin

#

and then normally again

for it to register in all the right places

this part is highly crappy with the tools and win10

I´ve been having a pretty weird and specific problem with Arma 3 for a while now. I am a part of a unit and we have our own server. I could play on it all the time without any lag but in the past two weeks I´ve started to experience crazy rubber banding. I am guessing it has something to do with bandwidth that you see in the Players list on any server. On every other server in Arma 3 my bandwidth is all good but in that specific server my bandwidth always drops to exactly 62 after about a minute of playing. Did anyone have a problem like this before? I can´t find any solutions on the internet and I am getting desperate 😅 (*added a screenshot in #screenshots_arma *) My internet is good btw so it´s definitely not it

that is a config class

are you running mods?

I think that RHS is responsible for it, since I needed to download a fix for the Russian radio lines...

I've always had sound issues with RHS, so it's the most likely culprit.

Weird. I just disabled RHS and it's still happening.
