Anyone know what's wrong with Von for me

What's happening?

zenith turret Sep 30, 2019, 1:59 PM

#

Scroll up a bit

#

Basically it doesn't transmit my voice on some servers

#

But it still detects my voice and auto adjusts the mic sensitivity correctly

#

And it still transmits on other servers

@uncut trellis the PMC wiki page, https://pmc.editing.wiki/doku.php?id=arma3:tools:setup-p-drive seems like it's telling me to replace ~100 lines of code in mapdisk.bat with 2 lines:

subst p: "c:\[myArma3WorkDrivePath]"``` Maybe I am misunderstanding something, because it seems over simplified compared to what is already there.

uncut trellis Sep 30, 2019, 3:37 PM

Yes the 2 lines is all you need.

OB Buldozer still not working. I've set up the P: drive with the very simple mapdisk.bat and Arma3p.cmd method. P: seems to be working great, but Buldozer not so much. MikeRo told me to check out the model_makers channel, because he recalled a discussion about using OB in win7 compat mode. I tried that, too, but to no avail. I've done a search for the discussion, but I cannot seem to find it.

wintry plaza Sep 30, 2019, 5:51 PM

#

@quaint jewel Had this to say about buldozer: In object builder. File->Options you can specify the buldozer executable. Copy arma3.exe or arma3_x64.exe to your pdrive and use that
This seems to conflict with what MikeRo and his documents say, that having .exe files in your P: drive is a disaster waiting to happen. I think Dedmen's method is how I had it working before, but now that I'm trying to do things more in line with MikeRo Tools (since I subscribed), then it's harder to figure out how to get it working in Win10.

quaint jewel Sep 30, 2019, 5:51 PM

#

Well you can also link it to your real arma binary i guess

wintry plaza Sep 30, 2019, 5:53 PM

#

yeah, that would make sense, but it doesn't work
e:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\arma 3\arma3.exe is the path I'm using in OB options (sans modifiers).

#

Just for gits and shiggles, I tried pasting in arma3.exe into P:\ drive (just temporailly, @wet coyote). I made the path in OB options P:\arma3.exe. Launching Bd from OB, a steam warning first popped up and said "you are attemtpting to run arma 3 with these parameter: (sites the modifiers in the OB options External Viewer path).
I clicked ok, and it just started up the Arma 3 launcher.

#

Clearly, I'm missing or overlooking something...

quaint jewel Sep 30, 2019, 6:18 PM

#

Make sure steam is running first

#

and that you also have steam_appid.txt

#

once steam hijacks you, it won't actually launch what you want with the parameters that you want

uncut trellis Sep 30, 2019, 6:22 PM

try running the 2line mapdisk bat normally and as admin once

wintry plaza Sep 30, 2019, 6:40 PM

Steam always running with startup. I have steam_appid.txt, and recognized the correct number for A3 inside. 107410.
Tried running mapdisk the 2 different ways

#

nada

quaint jewel Sep 30, 2019, 6:42 PM

maybe restart steam

#

for me steam asks whether to start once, only if i start arma before steam. once I click it away it doesn't ask again next time

sinful island Sep 30, 2019, 6:43 PM

#

Don't install ExAD, it's dead and out-dated @faint shoal
Also the Exile discord is probably a better place for this #channel_invites_list

faint shoal Sep 30, 2019, 6:44 PM

#

thanks for the information

wintry plaza Sep 30, 2019, 7:02 PM

#

So... maybe a specific rundown of what I'm doing is in order?
checklist:
setup P: drive and buldozer according to PMC guidelines - yes
opening Tools directly from their locations in the directory, or from created shortcuts - yes
run OB and mapdisk as normal, then admin, then normal again - yes
Steam is running - yes (runs on start up, wait to finish updates, etc.)
Path of "external Viewer" in OB options points to arma3.exe file, but not placed in P: as per Mikero - yes
steam_appid.txt in place with arma3.exe - yes (and tried with P:\arma3.exe for temp try/experiment).
Process from fresh PC boot:
Steam starts up; I wait until it's done.
Start mapdisk (will add to autostart later).
Start OB from shortcut.
Start Bd from within OB.

#

The missing viewer error pops up immediately, almost before I click bd

quaint jewel Sep 30, 2019, 7:04 PM

steam_appid.exe
txt

wintry plaza Sep 30, 2019, 7:05 PM

Yes, I meant .txt - FIXED

hmm it might be the path to the cfg thats borking

wintry plaza Sep 30, 2019, 7:07 PM

If a person were doing this to me, I'd say they were denying me something I want just because they can - to be obstinate.

can you screenshot the OB settings so that the text blocks are big enough to read the whole thing

yes, but pasting them in here not allowed

@wintry plaza
the 100 line bat file from bis, is 100 lines in order to supply you a user P:\ >>>and<<< an admin P:\

(with one exception) if you ever need to use admin mode, you are not only doing something wrong, it is fatal to your pc's health (and won't do much for yours either when disaster strikes). If the thought of letting bis scribble anywhere they want to and alter anything on your pc doesn't fill you with terror, you should, perhaps, give up modding and go play outside. To be fair, i'd even get scared letting my tools loose on your pc.

#

`buldozer'

the first most obvious fact of all is that there's no such thing. There is only, ever, the game.exe running in buldozer mode. Bis have quite literally renamed the 'game'.exe to 'buldozer'.exe and put it on the p drive thinking they're being helpful.

+which exe? because first and foremost it is always, inevitably, a stale out dated copy of an exe without updates and fixes. It bares no relationship the one you have on your pc. (and not at bis central, either). The last time i looked at it, it's config bin was last used in the BETA version of arma3 !!!!

+which exe? 32bit or 64bit?
+to successfully run the game.exe on the p: drive, it requires a dozen or so dlls, appid.txt and a host of cfgs that are already present, already installed, already 'updated' when required, in the steam\arma3 folder. Why are you duplicating the effort and what makes you think those dlls won't change? Again, if you run 'buldozer' as bis want you to, you are subject to their mercy of keeping it updated. They have never done so in the past. What makes you think anything is going to change there?
+Bis binarise, (not buldozer) will have a screaming hissy fit if it finds unexpected files on the p drive. Principally, it misinterprets .cpp and .cfg files that have no business being there. My tools actually prevent bis binarise from scanning the p drive at all, but why are you risking it crashing without any common sense reason?
+if you putting ANY exe on the p drive, you are giving that exe permission (and the updaters that support it) to scribble anywhere on that drive. Bis, famously, erased the p drive in one of their updates, thinking it was their arma tools folder and they wanted to scrap everything in there and start again. Caveat Emptor.

uncut trellis Sep 30, 2019, 10:35 PM

#

so far he seems to have tried all the commonly working ways to setup P with the subst bat and your arma3p and pointing to A3 exe but for some reason the viewer still is not connecting

wintry plaza Oct 1, 2019, 12:19 AM

#

Why are you duplicating the effort and what makes you think those dlls won't change? Again, if you run 'buldozer' as bis want you to, you are subject to their mercy of keeping it updated. As stated, it was a temporary attempt to see if it indeed "worked" as it did before, the effed-up way. It does not. What would my next step have been? I don't know. I'd rather it not work with everything set up right than for it to work in the wrong way. I didn't mean to incur the wrath of Mike. Does making these changes scare me? More like a feeling of mild apprehension. Am I going to go play outside because of it? No.

Believe it or not, this stuff isn't widespread knowledge. I'm just trying to get stuff out there. I don't have a big fancy team (yet) with experts to help do stuff the perfect way. I'm not attacking or faulting anyone, and I don't expect such backlash.

For now, I'll have to make due without using buldozer. At least I have things in better condition than before, and I can truly thank the people here for that, including (read: especially) Mike Andrew.

wintry plaza Oct 1, 2019, 12:38 AM

#

I hope that my use of the words "was" and "temporary" are enough to help people understand that I have since changed things back to proper, don't-let-BI-jackup-your-system mode.

uncut trellis Oct 1, 2019, 1:01 AM

#

is it possible for you to try creating a real disk partition called P: and use that as P drive instead of the virtual one?

#

If not for permanently, to test if it has any difference

wintry plaza Oct 1, 2019, 1:04 AM

#

Maybe. I'm feeling a little depressed atm

zenith turret Oct 1, 2019, 9:10 AM

#

so, whilst my usb headset mic won't transmit on some servers, I plugged in my iphone headphones and that mic works fine on all servers

wtf

set it as default

Are you on Win10 by any Chance?

any solutions?

Realtek Audio chipset?

zenith turret Oct 1, 2019, 9:19 AM

#

yeah....

wise barn Oct 1, 2019, 9:21 AM

#

That's your problem right there... Win10 f*cked that really good with the 2017 creators Update. No known fix for that beside reverting back to 8.1 or trying to disable All onboard Sound and deinstalling All realtek drivers/software

zenith turret Oct 1, 2019, 9:22 AM

#

so

#

I need a soundcard?

#

would that work

#

a non realtek one?

wise barn Oct 1, 2019, 9:23 AM

#

No guaranty for that, but if you use an external USB Sound device and have literally all realtek stuff disabled it might work

zenith turret Oct 1, 2019, 9:23 AM

#

huh

#

I'll try that

wise barn Oct 1, 2019, 9:24 AM

#

Do you have a USB Headset, or just a USB mic?

zenith turret Oct 1, 2019, 9:24 AM

#

usb headset

wise barn Oct 1, 2019, 9:25 AM

#

Try uninstalling All realtek drivers/Software and disable the onboard Sound in your BIOS first before thinking of getting a soundcard

zenith turret Oct 1, 2019, 9:25 AM

#

alright

#

thanks for the help

wise barn Oct 1, 2019, 9:26 AM

#

Don't thank ne too soon 😉

zenith turret Oct 1, 2019, 9:26 AM

#

well you tried at least

wise barn Oct 1, 2019, 9:27 AM

#

This is still all experimental. I'm still collecting Infos about this common issue, but for now realtek and win10 seem to be the problem

#

You are not the only one...

desert isle Oct 1, 2019, 11:20 AM

#

Non-USB works just fine though (for most)

wise barn Oct 1, 2019, 12:54 PM

#

Yes, almost no problems as long only analogue wired Audio is used. The combination of USB and an active analogue component (onboard soundcard/Chip) seems to be the problem

zenith turret Oct 1, 2019, 1:51 PM

#

I disabled the onboard audio and it still doesn't work

#

A workaround would be to use a virtual audio cable and plug my line out into line in

#

But that's messy

I found out what was breaking my game!

fringe salmon Oct 2, 2019, 4:22 AM

#

not sure if this is the right channel but im having some issues with mod creation. i have created a 1x1 test cube with everything working properly in game BESIDES i cant find/place the object in Zeus specifically. I can place it in the editor, and can spawn in in my test server with a normal createVehicle console command. it is preloading in the mission correctly i assume as it shows up in server ingame config as "CfgAddons" >> "PreloadAddons" >> "sobek_objects_class" with a list = "sobek_objects_class". i think my CfgPatches and CfgVehicles classnames are correct, and i have both scope and scopeCurator set to 2. in-game zeus is enabled for all addons (including unofficial) which is functioning correctly because other mods are spawnable as normal. ive tried all that i can find but im welcome to any suggestions! https://pastebin.com/raw/rWst6sGW

quaint jewel Oct 2, 2019, 6:47 AM

#

@fringe salmon your CfgPatches is incorrect, you are missing the requiredAddons.
Your inheritance in CfgVehicles is complete overkill and you don't use 90% of that stuff.
Why do you put "sobek_objects_class" in preload addons, while that doesn't even exist?

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/CfgPatches
#arma3_config

#

class CfgPatches {
    class sobek_objects_class {
        units[] = {"sobek_cube"};
        weapons[] = {};
        requiredAddons[] = {"A3_Data_F_Enoch_Loadorder"}
    };
};
class CfgAddons  {
    class PreloadAddons  {
        class sobek_objects_class {
            list[] =  {"sobek_objects_class"};
        };
    };
};
class CfgVehicleClasses {
    class sobek_objects_class {
        displayname="Sobek's_Objects";
    };
};
class CfgVehicles {
    class Static;
    class sobek_cube: Static {
        model = "\mod_objects\objects\cube_pre.p3d";
        icon = "\mod_objects\icons\cube.paa";
        displayName = "Cube";
        scope = 2;
        scopeCurator = 2;
        vehicleclass = "sobek_objects_class";
    };
};

I don't know what you have the PreloadAddons for, but I've left that in.
Also make sure the paths to your model/icon are correct.

fringe salmon Oct 2, 2019, 8:11 AM

@quaint jewel wasn't sure i needed any requiredaddons in this case, is that line always required even if left empty? and how would i know what to require for a given mod? I started with a template from online so I'm glad i can go without the class list previous to Static, just hadn't bothered with shortening it cause i was too frustrated so thanks for that! I added PreloadAddons sometime when trying to get this to work because some X year old forums were saying it could be an issue with it not loading before mission startup, I dont mind less code if it's not needed! im working with this now from your code https://pastebin.com/raw/Y185v8pq which I much prefer but im still having the same issue. As a sanity check, in a new empty mission ive placed a unit variable named "man" and a game master module and ive set the game master's owner to "man" and set addons to "all addons (including unofficial ones)" but again Cube is still not showing in zeus but works with editor and spawn commands (am I doing the ingame part correctly?). Huge thanks for your time so far though

quaint jewel Oct 2, 2019, 8:14 AM

#

is that line always required even if left empty?
not sure, but you don't ever not need required addons. I can't think of a sensible mod that wouldn't need them

#

Your mod ALWAYS depends on the base game doesn't it? Its a mod, can't mod something if nothing is there.

#

Are you using zeus search to find it?

#

its probably under Empty->Structures

fringe salmon Oct 2, 2019, 8:19 AM

Yes, search-bar searching for it and manually looking in structures ( and everywhere else in Empty )

finally time to sleep, been trying to fix just that issue for almost 8 hours now. im so upset yet ecstatic lol. thanks so much for your help narrowing that down, i owe you! hopefully this helps out someone in the future

quaint jewel Oct 2, 2019, 10:03 AM

#

Thing is more expensive simulation wise than Building. Ofc doesn't matter for your testing, but might matter later

fringe salmon Oct 2, 2019, 10:06 AM

#

yeah i noticed Thing has physics in zeus while i assume Building does not. shouldnt matter for my scale performance wise but could be an issue when trying to make objects i want to be static and not have gravity

quaint jewel Oct 2, 2019, 10:09 AM

#

buildings can definitely be spawnable in zeus, just dunno how

fringe salmon Oct 2, 2019, 10:10 AM

#

its strange because in default zeus you can spawn arma buildling which i assume use a Building tag

quaint jewel Oct 2, 2019, 10:11 AM

#

yeah same thought

fringe salmon Oct 2, 2019, 10:11 AM

#

would be a work-around but off the top of your head do you know of a way to make this object not have / disable simulation?

quaint jewel Oct 2, 2019, 10:12 AM

#

I think I have another addon that has static objects

#

Ah

#

they inherit from House_F

fringe salmon Oct 2, 2019, 10:13 AM

#

is that an entire tag to use instead of Thing ?

quaint jewel Oct 2, 2019, 10:14 AM

#

ye

fringe salmon Oct 2, 2019, 10:14 AM

quaint jewel Oct 2, 2019, 10:14 AM

maybe just House works too.

not sure what difference it makes

fringe salmon Oct 2, 2019, 10:17 AM

YES House_F worked, no longer simulated!

Hey guys, any reason our U menu would stop working (dedicated server)

grim tinsel Oct 2, 2019, 11:14 PM

Are you using a mission that has it enabled? @coarse vault

coarse vault Oct 2, 2019, 11:57 PM

@grim tinsel does each mission have to have it or can it be enabled via server for blanket usage (sorry for delayed response)

tropic yarrow Oct 3, 2019, 12:24 AM

#

U is not bound to anything with vanilla arma

#

It has to be a mission specific bind

#

So the question remains, what mission are you running?

coarse vault Oct 3, 2019, 12:39 AM

#

Cti stuff. Where do I add it to the mission file and what do I add.

#

Lib/hearts and minds/insurgency etc.

If you mean the group management menu, you can call on it with one line in the admin console.

hi, i duckduckgo'ed a bunch and couldn't find any thing directly pointing to any definitive, gonna ask here instead if you don't mind: when i am in single-player campaigns, everything is ducky, i get working audio, but if i jump into a multiplayer server (like say for a co-op session on a Volition Server) the audio stops working when the Arma 3 client is logging into the server. Not only does this stop the Arma 3 game audio, it also muted the Spotify Win 10 app in the background. Basically all audio are muted.

never mind . apparently the game decided to switch itself to fullscreen without me actully doing it. #arma

howdy folks. Q for those that like a head scratcher. Brand new map and server, mods are correct for both. New map is confirmed working during testing via local LAN MP server. Load map onto dedicated server, config mission_1 set to the map. Server boots up fine, no errors. Load into the server via in game server browser, returns error "OPTRE_Vehicle_suchandsuch" no longer exists. been scratching my head over this for a couple hours now, as everything that could be causing issues, has already been looked at.

a vehicle from OPTRE has been placed in the mission at some point

its just strange as the map works on another server i run

is it a client or the server throwing the error?

yeah, my fps still go around 25-30 in servers with too much people or with high view distance. however, the freeze happens nearly anytime.

#

something that I did was to reduce the percentage of the cpu that could be used through the control panel, and maybe it was a coincidence but the game didn´t freeze for a while, around 40 minutes-1 hour, when I stopped playing.

@cobalt wigeon You using ts/discord call while playing?

Games that push my cpu to 99-100% sometimes cause micro stuttering and crashes, when using ts, giving ts high cpu priority fixes the stuttering/crashes

what do I do if I can't hear any sounds behind me? can confirm this is only arma 3 that is doing it, can hear people on ACRE / TFAR behind me

patent delta Oct 6, 2019, 7:09 PM

#

@honest wasp, i figured it out actually. There was a space somewhere in the modlist sentence.

honest wasp Oct 6, 2019, 7:11 PM

#

that would do it

#

@warm kiln My best guess, which is something that happens to my headphones, is that the sound is directly behind you, and if the software doesn't know how to send that to my headphones, it simply doesn't have you hear anything. I don't know if I ever got around to fixing that.

#

Hm, seems I haven't fixed it at all. I have sound play anywhere on my rear and I hear... nothing.

#

Though this could be something specific to Voicemeeter Banana, to simulate rear sounds.

warm kiln Oct 6, 2019, 7:17 PM

#

wtf is that

#

never heard of voicemeter banana

honest wasp Oct 6, 2019, 7:20 PM

#

It's a virtual audio mix software sorta thing. It helps in certain audio things, but isn't really needed unless you want to have isolated comm sounds, so that streaming doesn't hear discord, but hears game audio.

#

Unless you need to mix audio sources and isolate the audio of certain programs, don't worry about it.

#

I just used it to test rear audio, since there is a GUI to tell it to output rear, front, side, etc. Fully rear was completely silent, though any level between forward and not fully rear is fine.

#

If it is only Arma 3 that is doing this, see if you can't tell Arma 3 to output in Stereo, and not 5:1 or 7:1. If your headphones can support proper 5:1 or 7:1 you should be fine, but if not it might be trying to output rear audio, which obviously two speakers can't handle

warm kiln Oct 6, 2019, 7:23 PM

#

I don't get it, it's literally only arma doing this

honest wasp Oct 6, 2019, 7:24 PM

#

Check if arma is outputting audio in Stereo or something else.

#

Then check if windows is outputting sound to your headphones as Stereo, or something else.

#

If both are Stereo then I got no idea.

warm kiln Oct 6, 2019, 7:24 PM

#

how

#

the arma thing.

honest wasp Oct 6, 2019, 7:25 PM

#

Ya know, I don't even know if Arma has a setting for that.

#

I'm a bit busy with like, 15 different programs open right now to check

warm kiln Oct 6, 2019, 7:27 PM

#

yes it doesn't

#

in game atleast

honest wasp Oct 6, 2019, 7:27 PM

#

It's probably gonna take tinkering with your Audio driver software, windows, and perhaps with whatever limited audio settings Arma 3 has.

#

Ah, well in that case I dunno.

warm kiln Oct 6, 2019, 7:28 PM

#

a recent windows update fucked it, I think.

honest wasp Oct 6, 2019, 7:29 PM

#

I guess try reconfiguring the windows sound devices from the sound control panel.

warm kiln Oct 6, 2019, 7:29 PM

#

already tried it

honest wasp Oct 6, 2019, 7:29 PM

#

yeah I got nothing then.

#

How are you testing the sound by the way?

warm kiln Oct 6, 2019, 7:32 PM

#

by playing the game?

honest wasp Oct 6, 2019, 7:33 PM

#

I mean, sure. But you have to have a consistent test to test rear audio. Otherwise you won't know what fixed it when changing settings or trying stuff found on google.

#

scientific method and all that

warm kiln Oct 6, 2019, 7:35 PM

#

you don't really need anything special to test this

#

just put sounds behind you

honest wasp Oct 6, 2019, 7:35 PM

#

So like, anyone behind you? Including to the left rear, right rear, right rear far?

#

Or just direct rear close, or direct rear far?

warm kiln Oct 6, 2019, 7:36 PM

#

direct rear i can't hear anything

#

i can hear faintly on the left and right directly

honest wasp Oct 6, 2019, 7:37 PM

#

have you tried this.
https://www.reddit.com/r/PUBATTLEGROUNDS/comments/6d548s/help_cannot_hear_sounds_directly_behind_me/

#

some other google searches tell me that people solved it by having the audio on the right kHz setting

#

other say they had a 7:1 headset, but outputting 5:1 to it

#

I don't know what all you've tried and I have the same issue from what limited testing I have. But I don't think it's limited to Arma 3 for me.

#

That being said it doesn't bother me enough to look into fixing it right now.

warm kiln Oct 6, 2019, 7:45 PM

#

will try

warm kiln Oct 6, 2019, 8:02 PM

Can someone please assist

Rented dedicated server, some of the clients can not see the server even on direct connect where others can see it perfectly fine.

Clients have tried :
Port forwarding
Manual passing on firewall
Disabling firewall
router factory restore
game chace verification
reinstall A3.

The mentioned clients can see and connect via VPN only, but otherwise nothing.

#

what do i put where

sinful island Oct 7, 2019, 5:46 PM

#

What's that's the router?

That's for a range. If it only has that, then you put the same port start and finish for a single port. Leave internal port empty. Internal host is the LAN IP of your computer. Remote Host can probably be left blank too. But it depends on your router.

spare shell Oct 7, 2019, 5:47 PM

my router is with vodafone

or it wont let me press apply

Just make it the same for external start and end, and the internal port.

Im willing to try everything haha

#

Right now i got the issue that the mission loads, HC is connected, but the AI's on my team dont do anything and only a couple AI's on the enemy team do something

Which is rather strange

green condor Oct 7, 2019, 8:40 PM

quaint jewel Oct 7, 2019, 9:53 PM

@fringe salmon make sure arma server has read/write permissions to all the pbos

#

it might show them as loaded, but not actually load them at all if it runs into permission issues

fringe salmon Oct 7, 2019, 9:54 PM

#

@quaint jewel I luckily got the mod issue figured out (Not the way i should've) turned out the mission didnt actually needed the mods it asked for so i disabled them

#

Right now it's that only a few AI's are moving

#

So time to debug i guess

So few weeks ago the game was working fine

But recently my arma 3 game freezes every time I open map or see map in the start of a mission for briefing

I have unistalled the game and reinstall but still the problem hasn't gone away

I do not have any mods installed or dlc enabled

supple crystal Oct 13, 2019, 6:35 AM

#

Lower overall and object view distances, PIP quality, dynamic lights quality and some PP effects affect FPS as well, general graphics quality options have little to no impact, and lowering them can cause worse worse FPS.

some stability issues may get resolved if I've understood right, but there are no magic means to gain more fps.

you need more fans for that

Offical ones were/are experimental tests to fix x issue, if they were/are successful, then the default malloc will be updated.

I only have one fan that works just fine, so it's kinda weird that the temperature of my cores went from the maximum supported, 80°, to around 45°/50° by changing the maximum usage allowed

Players can only join my local server while in mission selection. Once I've moved on to slotting (or any step further), they connect and then immediately get disconnected. Has anyone had this problem before, and does anyone know of any solutions? If it matters, I'm playing with UPNP instead of forwarding ports manually.

quaint jewel Oct 14, 2019, 6:37 AM

missing mods on clients?

brisk fable Oct 14, 2019, 8:26 AM

#

No mods active on the server or client, as far as I know.

supple crystal Oct 14, 2019, 9:09 AM

#

UPNP is known to be sketch when it comes to Arma
Usually as Dedmen hinted its mod related, can be other things, there is usually an error message (for less than half a second, its hard to get a screenshot, its easier to just record it) in the bottom right of the screen just before being disconnected.

round lance Oct 14, 2019, 1:48 PM

#

I think i know the solution

#

@brisk fable when your players want to join your mission, instead of sitting in the lobby, sit on mission selection.

#

Wait for them to connect through the chat tab

#

Once they're all connected

#

Switch off the mission selection into an actual mission.

#

Should work, it did for me.

#

It's some weird problem with local hosting in general.

#

And will probably not have any error message beyond "connection failed" on the client's side

#

Or "disconnected" in the chat

brisk fable Oct 14, 2019, 1:50 PM

#

Yeah, I know that workaround, and have been using it. Hence the Players can only join my local server while in mission selection part. I've been looking for a solution to that so people can join during slotting or JIP.

If, as SnakeDoc says UPNP is sketchy when it comes to ArmA then I can just try properly forwarding my ports and see if it works then.

round lance Oct 14, 2019, 1:51 PM

#

I used port forwarding and it happens to me too.

#

Not only to me but others who try it with port forwarding and upnp.

#

They technically can get on past the mission selection

brisk fable Oct 14, 2019, 1:51 PM

#

It's really annoying because when you sit at mission selection, to the client it just looks like they're loading forever. When one player takes a few minutes longer than the others, that's a lot of dead time just sitting around looking at an essentially blank screen.

round lance Oct 14, 2019, 1:51 PM

#

But it's mostly just luck and spamming the join game button on the steam overlay.

brisk fable Oct 14, 2019, 1:51 PM

#

At least they can still connect...

round lance Oct 14, 2019, 1:52 PM

#

Yep

quaint jewel Oct 14, 2019, 1:53 PM

#

Ah is it a local self-hosted server? hosted in-game?

#

You could alternatively also just run a dedicated server, on your computer

#

next to your actual arma game

brisk fable Oct 14, 2019, 1:55 PM

#

Yeah, it's a local/listen server. I've never messed with a proper dedicated server, but I can give that a shot if port forwarding doesn't work.

quaint jewel Oct 14, 2019, 1:55 PM

#

its the same end result. running a server on your computer. Still have to port forward

#

but that way its a seperate process, instead of being inside the arma game that you are also playing

supple crystal Oct 14, 2019, 3:14 PM

#

Also self hosted in game, has always been weird, one week it works fine next it doesn't 🤷

If you mean load the mods, you can just subscribe to propably the majority of mods out there via the steam workshop

please stop the mention spamming :u

Battleye is currently detected as a trojan/virus by lots of antivirus software, your AV is blocking battleye and preventing the game from starting.
Thus disabling it fixes it.

So, i reinstalled arma after quite some time, and i had to set up my parameters again

I got some mods like optre and such and loaded in

#

But a few seconds later the game seems to freeze, i can alt tab but i cannot interact with the other programs i have open like taskman

#

Happens without mods as well, albeit at a greater delay from startup

#

Could it be because of some parameters like max CPU cores that I might've put in

That is possible. Does it also happen when you use the default settings?

@alpine niche you wanna keep the .vars.profile , but... I assume exactly that is the bugged thing

@fringe salmon battleye problem was supposed to be solved..
do you have Arma 3/Battleye/BEService.exe ?

Hello I recently bought Arma 3 and tried playing on a server with a decent amount of people. Setting everything to ultra or low still causes frame dips when entering the combat zones. I have a 1070 with a i7-8700k and 16gbs of ram. Is there anyway to fix this issue?

wise barn Oct 18, 2019, 9:31 PM

#

install arma on an SSD and use auto detection for graphics settings

sharp elbow Oct 18, 2019, 9:36 PM

#

I don't have an SSD sadly and I used auto detect for the settings but still ended up with the issue.

wise barn Oct 18, 2019, 9:37 PM

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

nothing much you can do then

figured out what happened to battleye service

bitdefender yeeted it

Anyone know how to fix an "APP_HANGING" error? My arma keeps black screening

weary sky Oct 19, 2019, 1:58 PM

#

verify files in Steam, since it most likely has a corrupt file somewhere

#

and otherwise upload your RPT file which should be able to tell us what is happening

Arma 3 is closing a alot of my Apps, Nvidia Control Panel, ShadowPlay, Razer Central + Synapse, Asus Aura, Samsung Magician and iCue . It's a Battleye issue, already exposed my issue with them... And its only happening with Arma, for example: not with Squad(Game)

Google says a lot of people have the same problem. But, it's not everyone. And its not an Arma issue.

Trying to set up a image on a screen for a mission, getting a new problem i've not encountered yet.

Any reason why this would be happening?

#

Different mission but used the same process to get textures onto the screen.

Any object that allows custom textures is having the same issue

#

Okay, somehow fixed by changing the file name to MAPAFGHAN.paa

I cant change the name of my first profile on arma, the option to edit name is greyed out does anyone know of a way to change it

uncut trellis Oct 20, 2019, 6:06 PM

#

it takes your windows username

#

you got to make a new profile to change the name

uncut latch Oct 20, 2019, 6:07 PM

#

You can't change the default one, to change it you need to add a new profile in Arma

fringe salmon Oct 20, 2019, 7:38 PM

#

Can i import controls somehow if i make a new profile

crimson basin Oct 20, 2019, 8:07 PM

#

I think there's some config file you can copy and paste over

#

but I'm a brainlet layman for context

#

also anyone know what the solution might be when I can't see the model for some weapons in first person, but they're right there in third person?

#

like I can use it but I can't use the sights

#

seems to be exclusively rocket launchers as well

#

and specifically one uniform, oddly enough

fringe salmon Oct 20, 2019, 9:07 PM

#

@crimson basin thanks for the advice as to your issue and are the weapons you using vanilla weapons

#

Try verifying tbh if it's vanilla models not showing up never heard of that issue

crimson basin Oct 20, 2019, 9:23 PM

#

It's all modded stuff

#

Specifically rocket launchers from RHS don't like the US Forces 2000s mod's MOPP suits

fringe salmon Oct 20, 2019, 9:47 PM

#

Ah best to talk to mod authors then

#

Ik some textures from rhs are bugged

Any recommendations for a good PBO manager for Linux (Ubuntu specifically)

pbo manager in what sense?

I'm trying to run Roy86's Patrol Ops 4 on a dedicated server hosted in GCP. The workshop file comes in legacy.bat format so pulled down a .7z of all the mission data and I want to pack it into a PBO locally so I don't have to fuck w RSA keys from my terminal to GCP because its a nightmare.

#

So I just need to pack one

fringe salmon Oct 21, 2019, 12:54 AM

sorted it

meager monolith Oct 21, 2019, 6:42 AM

#

is there any solution yet for the battle eye problem?

quaint jewel Oct 21, 2019, 6:51 AM

#

@fringe salmon to import your controls you wanna copy the contents of the "My Documents/Arma 3/profilename.Arma3Profile" file into the new "My Documents/Arma 3 - Other Profiles" file.
And if you want mod settings (CBA) and such, you copy the "profilename1.vars.Arma3Profile" over to the new profiles folder with "newProfilename.vars.Arma3Profile"

#

@meager monolith its supposed to already be solved. Antivirus shouldn't be detecting it anymore

meager monolith Oct 21, 2019, 7:03 AM

#

@quaint jewel i still am having issues :(. With battleye enabled i crashed out after launching to Play, my steam crashes, as does nvidia software and other software.

quaint jewel Oct 21, 2019, 7:03 AM

#

thats a different problem tho.

#

windows 10 insider build per chance?

meager monolith Oct 21, 2019, 7:04 AM

#

'windows 10 insider build per chance?' not sure what you mean by that

#

i have win10 version 1903 (os build 18362.418)

quaint jewel Oct 21, 2019, 7:06 AM

#

Windows 10 insider build is a kind of beta, which is not supported by BE and might cause issues. But that seems to just be normal win10

meager monolith Oct 21, 2019, 7:11 AM

#

i am pretty sure my win10 version is not the issue

Hello, I have an issue updating BattleEye, Steam say that I may dont have the permission to update this file. I tried to launch steam as administrator, to reinstall Battleeye, but nothing work. The issue come from BEService.exe, and I can update every others games and even mods for ArmA 3, Battleye is the only things which doesnt want to update. Does anyone have the same issue ?

quaint jewel Oct 21, 2019, 8:17 AM

#

Did you try manually deleting the BattlEye Folder in Arma directory?

eager lake Oct 21, 2019, 8:17 AM

#

Yes I did it

#

I verified the integrity of the game also

#

But still the same issue from Battleye

quaint jewel Oct 21, 2019, 8:18 AM

#

what antivirus software are you using?

eager lake Oct 21, 2019, 8:19 AM

#

Bitdefender

quaint jewel Oct 21, 2019, 8:19 AM

#

Thats exactly the AV causing problems

#

have you disabled it or added Arma 3 directory to the exceptions?

eager lake Oct 21, 2019, 8:20 AM

#

I can try but usually when he block something he tells me

#

Still dont work =/

#

I disabled the entire AV

meager monolith Oct 21, 2019, 8:24 AM

#

i am just using windows default AV, but i have disabled it and added the steam arma3 folder as an exception but this did not work. i would show the error messege but i can add images to this discord

quaint jewel Oct 21, 2019, 8:25 AM

#

you can send links to messages

#

but I assume its the Steam popup saying BEService.exe access denied or similar

meager monolith Oct 21, 2019, 8:25 AM

#

ok here it is https://imgur.com/5ODNAIz

eager lake Oct 21, 2019, 8:27 AM

meager monolith Oct 21, 2019, 8:27 AM

#

pressing ok brings me back the arma 3 launcher from where if i try launch again the same messege appears

eager lake Oct 21, 2019, 8:27 AM

#

Yeah it say that BEService.exe access denied

meager monolith Oct 21, 2019, 8:28 AM

#

so if i have wndows av disabled, how to fix it? is there something else in windows i need to check?

quaint jewel Oct 21, 2019, 8:29 AM

#

ok here it is
Thats a very different thing and doesn't look like the battleye essage

#

why is the -beservice parameter set twice? and why is there a empty -mod.
How are you launching Arma?

meager monolith Oct 21, 2019, 8:31 AM

#

the parameters section was stating that line

#

i launch via steam, then using the official arma launcer that appears

quaint jewel Oct 21, 2019, 8:33 AM

#

try launching arma3_x64.exe from your arma directory directly

meager monolith Oct 21, 2019, 8:40 AM

#

the game launches fine, but when it try join an official arma3 server, i get messege stating BE need to be enabled. When i agree to restart then my steam crashes and on restart i get this messge appearing https://imgur.com/mmHbWa4

#

pressing 'ok' bring me back to the arma 3 launcher

quaint jewel Oct 21, 2019, 8:46 AM

#

Steam shouldn't ask whether to allow the game launch 🤔
do you have a "appid.txt" in your arma directory? with content 107410?

#

You can try launching "arma3battleye.exe" or the _x64 variant if it exists, in your arma directory. That should start with Battleye and might circumvent that Steam popup

meager monolith Oct 21, 2019, 8:49 AM

#

yes i have this appid wiht the 107410 reference

#

it actually called steam_appid.txt. not sure that makes a differnece

quaint jewel Oct 21, 2019, 8:51 AM

#

nah thats correct 🤔

#

I don't know what causes steam to sometimes simply not let you launch the game

meager monolith Oct 21, 2019, 8:56 AM

#

ok the games launches using 'arma3battleye.exe' but the server browser shows zero servers available to connect to. Using the quick play option just leaves me waiting fo search results. seems like i cant find any servers

quaint jewel Oct 21, 2019, 8:58 AM

#

is your steam still running and online? 🤔

meager monolith Oct 21, 2019, 8:59 AM

#

yes

#

hmm wait the arma browser states steam is not running

#

but i see it open

quaint jewel Oct 21, 2019, 9:02 AM

#

yeah something deffo wrong with your steam

#

latest updates installed?

meager monolith Oct 21, 2019, 9:03 AM

#

yes, steam and game updates are all up to date

eager lake Oct 21, 2019, 9:09 AM

#

Well I hope an update will fix the issue then =/

quaint jewel Oct 21, 2019, 9:10 AM

#

There won't be another BE update to fix the bitdefender stuff. It is supposed to be fixed already. I guess BE contacted Bitdefender and made them not detect it

eager lake Oct 21, 2019, 9:11 AM

#

Yeah but it dont come from BitDefender

#

I disabled it and the issue still happen

meager monolith Oct 21, 2019, 9:15 AM

#

ok i going to try reinstalling steam

quaint jewel Oct 21, 2019, 9:17 AM

#

@eager lake please go to your Steam/SteamApps folder. (Arma 3 is in steamapps/common/arma3)
In there use windows search to search for "BEService"
It will probably find 2 or 3 or so? Delete them all, then let Arma 3 files be verified in steam

#

steamapps\downloading\107410\BattlEye\BEService.exe
this one too if it exists

eager lake Oct 21, 2019, 9:19 AM

#

Ok let's try this

#

Still dont work... I guess I'm good to try to reinstall the game...

meager monolith Oct 21, 2019, 10:42 AM

#

ok, so after a steam reinstall, the issue is solved
