@quaint jewel do i have to create the new profile in arma first
quaint jewel
yes
fringe salmon
Ok another issue i have is the windows key not working at all (its binded to interaction menu) the key isnt broken it just dosnt do anything ingame
If i play any game where the windows key represents something i have to rebind it when having the windows key usuable would be better
round lance
Considering you're saying that it's not just an issue in arma, then it could be something to do with your keyboard.
quaint jewel
Many gaming keyboards have a switch to disable the windows key
grim tinsel
Huh So thats what that switch does, thanks for solving my windows key problem

Had guy in my unit with same problem on saturday. Fussing around for 20 minutes not wanting any help from others and getting angry..
Turns out he also didn't know what that switch did

raven nacelle
@desert isle they didnt answer so far...!
desert isle
@raven nacelle I really wish people would look for themselves.. from Battleye's own FAQ page:
meager monolith
woow they finally fixed their FAQ page. You know @desert isle this has been a page 404 error for the previous 3 days. i know because i have been checking it.
quaint jewel
Also that entry doesn't make much sense. This has been an issue with other battleye games (pubg, escape from tarkov) for atleast 2 months.
And now all the sudden after a Arma BE update its also happening with Arma. But the fault is supposed to be some Windows 10 update?
Was that a windows update that explicitly wasn't delivered to Arma 3 players or what?
quaint jewel
Yeah Battleye never was a Arma problem. Its battleye
But as Arma requires you to use BE on BE enabled servers..
desert isle
plays in a private group that doesn't use BE
meager monolith
i purposely reinstalled dayz to see if it could somehow fix the problem (sorry but i am desparate at this stage) and i got pretty much the same problem
desert isle
Waste of time. Until BE resolve the issue, 99% of actions you take will be futile.
As I've stated to others, use the power of social media to bring it to their attention.

Hi I need urgent help, for my unit we are using isla Duala but every time we load a mission on it we get the error no entry bin\config/CfgWorlds.Isladuala3
narrow nimbus
@wooden rain Not to sure but is your server running the mod? Is it initialised on server start?
narrow nimbus
mind sending server rpt via pastebin
wooden rain
rpt?
narrow nimbus
essentially the server log file
wooden rain
okay
I'll grab it
sorry we have 3 different ones from today so I'm just finding the right one
@narrow nimbus https://pastebin.com/XWbNbRfb
narrow nimbus
That is a incomplete log. From what it looks like at face value your mod upload to server might be corrupt or the server did not initialize the mod. Maybe it's missing from launch command line? double check that
wooden rain
will do and I'll reinstall the mod
narrow nimbus
I am off to bed now. If you are still stuck maybe there is a saviour in here or DM me. Can post the fix found back here later if DM is the case.

Hi all, I bought a second copy of arma recently (in the sale) for MP testing purposes, and also to use a mod called indiCam (by Woofer). I used to play on a laptop, but a few months ago migrated to a new PC. So, I thought I'd just set up a new steam account on my old laptop, and then buy the game, thinking I could play on both my PC and laptop (via separate steam accounts and Arma 3 licenses simultaneously). While I am able to join a basic public game like I&A with no mods with both accounts, when I try to join my own server the new account gets kicked after role selection. I have set up a test MP mission and hosted via my provider. This test mission had no mods, and while my buddy was able to access it, my new account was not. I have reinstalled both steam and Arma 3 on my laptop, but that has not made any difference.
Could anyone suggest a lead I could investigate to get this resolved - it is driving me crazy! Are there common issues with secondary accounts?
round lance
Several Ideas:
- If both accounts are using the same wifi network, you can try connecting it by LAN and through local IPs rather than the external ones
- Since it's a private server you could try disabling battleye on both accounts and seeing if the second account gets kicked without it.
green condor
battleeye is off, and not required in the config.cpp
the weird thing, is that even if my main account (and PC) is switched off, the same thing happens. Are you suggesting wiring into the router directly?
(thank you btw)
through local IPs sorry, I am not exactly sure how to do this..
round lance
Both computers use the same internet network, right?
Since they're both in the same house.
Instead of trying to connect them through the "internet" tab on the server browser, or by using a normal ip that has a bunch of different letters, you can try hosting the server by "LAN" and having it connect through the LAN tab on the server browser.
When starting a server, if you're hosting it locally and not by using the dedicated server program arma has, you can choose LAN or internet.
Instead of internet, choose LAN and connect it through the LAN tab.
Could fix your issue, but anybody who isn't in your wifi network won't be able to join.
green condor
worth a shot, thank you i will try that now
not much luck with that unfortunately. When I host a LAN game on my laptop, my PC cannot see it. Perhaps I am doing this wrong, it's not something I;ve ever used before, but I assume if one node hosts a game, any other node on the same (wifi) network would be able to see and join that game..
round lance
Yea p much
You could try using direct connect with it too
Go to the host computer, open up the command prompt, type ipconfig and copy the ipv4 to the second PC and see if it works.
green condor
right, thank you .. on it
interesting ... so I can get both accounts up to the role selection page (headhunters), but when I select 1 role, both sessions go into the game. Maybe that is normal. I am not in the mission with both accounts running, so .. that works ??
pastel vigil
there is a lan mode switch to enable you to join 2 roles from lan on the same account
green condor
ah ok .. sorry, where is that located?
to be clear, i have two separate accounts and am trying to get both of them into an MP mission (of my making)
pastel vigil
loopback = true; on the server.cfg
green condor
I will check that out ... thank you
green condor
I get kicked before even getting to the role selection page on both accounts when loopback = true;
round lance
Just remember with the whole lan thing that the host probably starts the session when you lock into a role by clicking "ok"/ turning your name to green.
I don't know much about the loopback stuff though, if what i suggested worked for you, you should probably just use that.
green condor
The goal for me is to enable both my accounts to access a public-hosted server, and this new account seems to not want to work, whereas my buddies and also my main account can access the server fine. So I guess my working theory is that there is some account conflict or corruption on my laptop, making my new account a bit off. For example, when I open the Arma 3 launcher, I always get 8 unread news reports, and even if I select 'mark as read', next time they are all unread. I have also had moments when the launcher will try to load a whole load of my old mods from my previous account (lots of red boxes, as they are not there anymore). I know the A3Launcher is not the best option, and I have also tried a separate launcher to no avail.
So I guess my only lead is - are there any cached Steam or Arma files that may corrupt or confuse my new A3 profile?
dim junco
Launching A3 makes The launcher, TeamSpeak, OBS, Windows explorer etc. crash also videos playing in chrome turn to a green box, and right after the crash I get a black box across my whole screen which I guess is something crashing. I had this happen like a month ago but updating Windows seemed to fix it now I can't manage to fix it, I tried reinstalling the drivers and updating everything the result is still the same. The game runs fine and all but it's annoying that launching the game makes half of the tray icons disappear and stuff to crash, also only Arma does this every other game works fine. If anyone has any clues how to fix this, it would be appreciated.
uncut trellis
Sounds like graphics card failure.
dim junco
Hmm that sounds bit extreme I'd say since every other game runs fine and I have 0 problems other than when I launch Arma 3. I had my previous GPU die on me, it was not fun seeing the screen fill more and more artifacts, hopefully it's not the case this time. Thanks for the input!
thin portal
Has anyone else had an issue with servers kicking players off & stating "battleeye client not responding". And if so, has it been connected to a specific server or for Arma as a whole?
sinful island
Could be either. Usually an inconsistent connection on the client.

Hmm alright, cheers.

Hey im getting the 0xC0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION error now when i launch with some mods, it wasnt happening yesterday. (Same mods)
It seems to be CUP Terrains Core that is causing it, but thats very odd because it hasnt been updated?
quaint jewel
that error can be related to literally anything
from some mods bisign, over your graphics drivers, to that random rgb control software running in the background
spare wolf
that being said, the new Nvidia driver i am running has notoriously been iffy with a lot of games right now...
edit: has to be the driver, reinstalling cup terrains didnt fix it

Yes the new Nvidia game ready driver was the culprit, reverted to one that came out back in june and no status access violations at all

Really? I couldn't find anything on google. Do you remember where you saw it so I can check?

Read about it in this discord I think
wise barn
Recently several Windows 10 users have started experiencing this issue without a change on our side. We have investigated the issue and also reached out to Microsoft regarding potential changes in the latest Windows 10 versions and so far concluded that it’s related to some unknown (potentially low-level) third-party software running on the user’s system. Therefore the only thing we can currently suggest is to close any unnecessary applications while using BattlEye and if that doesn’t help perform a clean reinstall of Windows.```

[Arma 3 Server]
Hello! I am attempting to connect to my server with my RCon tool but it doesent seem to be working very well, Is anyone happy to hop into my DMs and work with me on this issue? It would be much appreciated! Thanks in advanced.
viral plover
Hi, need help bad. My arma 3 is crashing with a bad_module_info error from either starting a vehicle, damaging a vehicle, spawning more than a couple unit's, and walking into render distance of a prefab AO. I've tried everything under the sun and even let my friend who's had more experience dealing with arma's issues than I, but to no avail. This only started happening after a period of 5 months of no usage of the computer im using, since then its been 4 months and still no way of fixing it that I've found. Im on a lenovo Y720 with a GTX 1060, I-7 7700 HQ @2.8 ghz and 8gb of ram.
supple crystal
iirc correctly that error can be a bunch of things but one of the main ones it something wrong with the gpu.
supple crystal
@wise barn I think i remember you saying you were doing some digging into that bug. Dunno if it helps but I've been using a USB headset w/win10 since it released and never had an issue, although i keep the headsets hardware button Dolby surround turned off and its and old AMD Phenom system 🤷
wise barn
I might have a lead on some branche of realtek Audio Chips and drivers...
I know of cases where this error could be removed by deactivating the onboard Sound in the BIOS and by removal of all realtek HD Audio drivers
supple crystal
My mobo has realtek but it would be from around 2008-2010, and i haven't updated the drivers for years, so maybe something changed.
viral plover
@wise barn Thanks for diagnosing it, thats the problem but now I dont have a reasonable fix that allows me to use the headset. Its a razer Nari ultimate and the aux connections make the headset lose fidelity and the microphone becomes a nuisance.
wise barn
@viral plover
If you don't need the onboard Sound, disable it in the BIOS and remove the realtek drivers. This should allow you to use the USB Headset without problems

@spare shell generic error in expression means some kind of formatting error, or the script is just complete garbage

Did you add the script to the mission manually or load the addon? @spare shell
supple crystal
start with core mods and add extras till it breaks again

I did that.
The two mods that cause problems are suppress and ifa3 liberation
Suppress gives errors when shooting at enemies
Ifa3lib gives errors when tanks are destroyed
round lance
if you're using ace with ifa3 liberation make sure you're also using the ace patch for liberation.

That ace patch ruins things for me and causes more errors

Talk to them, one of the mods your trying to use either isn't allowed on the server or you got the mod from a different location like workshop when they have one with a custom signature on a3s or something similar

Then its some mods postInit script not finishing
Need to find the bad mod somehow. Can you send me your latest RPT? clientside
-cpuCount=8 -exThreads=7 -enableHT -malloc=tbb4malloc_bi_x64 -maxmem=11990 -maxvram=1024
Remove all these start parameters, they are all useless.
Can't find any hint about what the bad mod in there is.
Btw I see you have ShackTac UI. I recommend you take a look at https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1638341685 its better code, more performant and the author actually cares about what the users think about it.
I'd guess on pone of these mods causing problems:
2017 Ford Raptor
Ankara Polis Özel Harekat Özel Coop Modu
TMT - Turkish Forces v0.7
But TMT I assume is a relatively widely used mod, so that probably would've probably already been noticed
grave sleet
I see.
"-cpuCount=8 -exThreads=7 -enableHT -malloc=tbb4malloc_bi_x64 -maxmem=11990 -maxvram=1024" Why's this useless btw?
quaint jewel
because the first 3 are auto detected anyway so they do nothing.
the malloc is already the default, telling it explicitly to use the default does nothing.
maxMem can only hurt you, not help you. It only limits the game.
maxVram same, it can only limit the game. But on DirectX11 it actually does nothing at all so its useless.
grave sleet
Ah, damn. Well I guess that guide to improve FPS and all was for nothing.
Thanks!
The thing is, I am the only one having this issue from my unit. Everyone else can load in without any issues which is odd.
What should I do with those mods you think might be causing the problem?
Would a repair suffice or should I do a clean reinstall of those mods?
quaint jewel
Well I guess that guide to improve FPS and all was for nothing.
most of these guides are outdated. And especially the youtube ones are usually clickbait
if there was a magic thing to improve fps, BI would just enable that by default... Everything else would be stupid
What should I do with those mods you think might be causing the problem?
Just try disabling them and seeing when the issue disappears, if you are sure that its the mod, then tell the author that his postInit script is not finishing and freezing the game, probably some bad waitUntil
grave sleet
Those mods are necessary to load up into the server though.
fringe salmon
@grave sleet On a decent machine (GPU above about a 970) the usual bottleneck is on the CPU and there are only really two video settings that can improve performance. The first is terrain detail and object detail, these can both improve performance somewhat. The big one however is object view distance, bring that down to something like 1500 or change it dynamically. Nothing else is worth doing nowadays that I know of.
grave sleet
I better upgrade my hardware, then.

this is #arma3_troubleshooting #arma3_questions is one below
sturdy sequoia
why arma 3 go from 60 fps to 30 when shooting full auto
also 1080p resolution
i lower the resolution and the problem is gone
strong steeple
so your GPU can't keep up?
wise barn
¯_(ツ)_/¯
strong steeple
pretty sure that'll be with every game
@sturdy sequoia does that even go above the minimum requirements threshold?
sturdy sequoia
so the only solution lower the resolution
sturdy sequoia
no it only meet the minium
strong steeple
then it's no surprise your PC can't handle more than the minimum settings
sturdy sequoia
so 720p?
with that resolution it does not happen
can shoot a machinegun full auto
strong steeple
for example
wise barn
30FPS is pretty much average for arma 3. stick with 1080 and 30FPS...
strong steeple
singleplayer can go higher in FPS

also i have vsync on

Hi trouble shooters. I recently bought a second copy of arma, and am trying to play it on my old laptop. I recently changed over to a PC, and thought I could just set up the new version of arma on my old laptop. It does not seem to like it, and I have a working theory that the old launcher is retaining some of my old profile data. It is just a theory (might be .. BS .. ) but I was wondering if there might be a file or location that player data could be stored (e.g. cache).
I have totally uninstalled and reinstalled arma and steam .. 3 times now .. and still get the same troubles (I am unable to connect to my own server). Sometimes my old mods flash up with angry red boxes, and that suggests to me it is trying to load an old mod list from somewhere, even though I’ve tried to scorch-earth the install.
Any ideas?

Hi! I had an issue 2x this week! I'm trying to reproduce, but it's not being easy. And i'm here to ask if someone had this issue and solved it or not! The issiu is this:
In my squad Liberation Dedicated Server/Mission, sometimes i have more (and normal) FPS inside veichles (even using 3rd person view) and in the options menu, than in any other place.
ex: i'm in the map i have 70-80fps, i enter a city on a veichle (using 3r person) and the frames drop to 40-60fps and i step out of the veichle and the frames drop to 20-30fps with a lot of stuttering, i enter the veichle ans the frames come up again to 40-60FPS,...
any ideas!?
I thougth it should be any graphic setting, but as soon as i hit ESC and the menu appears the frames come back up to normal, and even changing viewdistances or terrain details, as soon i exit the menu the frames drop to 20-30fps with stuttering!
I turned on the logs to see if i catch the problem,... but if anyone already had this problem and solved it it would be precious!
and time saving! 😄

probably the server or mission file

Okay so My arma 3 keeps making a random profile I have gone through my folders and deleted them and deleted them in arma 3 but once I close my arma 3 and re open it it's back
It's not located in any of the system files

Could changing the pagefile.sys size cause arma to shut down with dx11 giving an out of memory error?
wise barn
likely
fringe salmon
So yeah I went through my files I deleted the profile but when I launch arma it pops right back up
vestal yacht
Rather strange seeing how I just removed it and then reset it back to managed by the OS
I might manually increase it
Ah, I see what happened. When you set your pagefile size to 0 it tells you you should restart for the changes to be applied. But when you set it back to its previous size it doesn't tell you to restart even though you have to for those changes to be applied.

woeful parrot
Hi guys. I need your help, expertise anything haha. The problem I am having is that my ArmA is creating extra profiles automatically and more specifically it is creating three profiles. HC1, HC2 and HC3. This happens when I connect to our units liberation server through the launcher, even though my parameters are set to use my Vlerkies profile as default. It overrides this and uses HC3. Only when I launch the game itself and choose my correct profile from the menu and connect to our liberation server it uses the correct profile. This started after the 1.96 update. I can also manually delete those auto created profiles from the Arma other profiles folder. But as soon as I connect to our liberation server through the launcher, it recreates those three profiles and uses HC3 as the game profile. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as now I have to first start the game normally and then from within the game menu choose the correct profile and connect via the server browser in the game menu

HC could be linked to HeadlessClient.

It does indeed create HeadlessClient profiles. Why does it do this? How can I get it to stop? Any ideas? It also turns all icons on the map to turqoise or cyan. I do have screenshots if needed

GPU doesn't make much of a difference in arma, the main things are
-CPU, core 0 clock speed and multithreading
-Having more than 8gb of RAM running at a decent speed
-Having arma and all your mods on an SSD preferably not the same SSD as your OS
@void valley ^

core 0 clock speed
per-core clockspeed, not core 0

Arma alone on an SSD and mods elsewhere benefits greatly, mods can sit on a hard drive. you'll still see a noticeable speed increase

It just seems like performance is worse than before
Maybe I'm getting too used to buttery smooth 144hz
And arma is like 30 fps at standard settings

Vanilla Arma works perfectly if you make sure the settings match your hardeware.
Using mods or trying to use ULTRA settings on a simple laptop might affect as well...

One thing you'll always hear me say is that FPS is no indicator on how Arma plays. 3 FPS, I will give you is an issue. Otherwise, unless you expect it to be an "on-rails" shooter like COD it is perfectly fine.

On high end machines the only settings that make any difference are the object quality and view distance and to a smaller extent the terrain quality settings. They lighten the CPU load if there is less objects.
restive sequoia
This effect is so small that you wont even feel it. At least in my experience. 2,2km view distance and object distance + terrain grid quallity 3.25 compared to 1,2km view distance and terrain grid 12.5 = 2-3 fps difference 😅

surreal kernel
Hi guys. I have a dedicated server on Linux and a free disk space is comes to the end on it's SSD drive. I want to install an HDD drive and need some consultation about what will be better to move to HDD. Steam workshop directory with MODs or the server files?
How Arma operates with MODs and other files? That is always in memory?
weary sky
Depending on the amount and sizes of the mods you want to host this questions should be clear ;)
And although mods are used extensively during the game I still prefer the server files on a SSD and mods on a HDD.
As for memory; yes, a lot of stuff is placed in memory, but not complete mods. If that was the case I would need over 100GB of RAM...
But I'm sure you'll be able to get a more detailed answer in #server_admins and #server_linux
lol... just noticed that a mod sent you here 😛

@weary sky i sent @surreal kernel here as it was rather general question. Which is not exclusive to just servers, it will also affect client PCs.

@velvet jungle you're right of course. But I'm trying to get balance between performance and capacity for server side only. The clients disks not my problem as for server admin. :-)
@weary sky @velvet jungle pushed me here from there
velvet jungle
@surreal kernel Well in hindsight #server_linux may have been a better location. As windows servers work differently.
surreal kernel
@weary sky and thank you for your answer. I think I'll follow your advise
quaint jewel
@surreal kernel all arma files are loaded from disk on demand, but a server specifically won't need access to textures/audio files. Which are excluded already in the Arma server files, but not in the mods, so moving mods off to a slower disk would be better, as a huge part of the files in mods won't be accessed at all anyway
Well in hindsight #server_linux may have been a better location. As windows servers work differently.
Doesn't matter for this question

Should i try without the dedicated server?

hes fairly new to arma
uncut trellis
you can host a multiplayer game without dedicated server
indigo garnet
With mods?
uncut trellis
yes unless you intend to keep it running all the time
fierce snow
yes
uncut trellis
yes
fierce snow
will most likely work better than the dedicated server 🤷♂️ 😬
uncut trellis
likely
fierce snow
dont check it
indigo garnet
Oh ok
fierce snow
if you have a port forwarded
fierce snow
uhh
then you need to check the upnp
but if that doesnt work, try setting a port manually

It's called upnp... Most ISPs disable it on their gateways to stop potential leakage.
fringe salmon
Oof
fading pulsar
@sinful island Who, since when?
Most ISPs here leave it on by default in the router options.
sinful island
All of the major ISPs in Canada and the 2 American ISPs I worked for.
They disable it by default or they alert if it's used on your network and detected by their gateway and call to warn you.
Some of the other American one's I've seen alert on leakage only.
quaint jewel
well murica is down under anyway
fading pulsar
Interesting, I don't believe it's commonly disabled in Europe either. I wonder why there's differing stances
quaint jewel
murican ISP's often also share IP's between many users
so upnp is difficult in that situation anyway
fading pulsar
I don't really know anyone there who shares an IP to be fair, dynamic ip sure
I can see it for their "wireless" telecoms

I hope it is allowed to link to a Forum post, I do this as there are the log files and I don't want to fill the discord with them. It is regarding Object builder constantly crashing after exactly 5 min and nothing I do seems to change this. It seems like the Bohemia forum is rather dead and I really hope you can help me as I have a few models ready to go, but will need the OB as I am not really a programmer and need all the help I got setting models up for ingame.

Have a constant problem where my game freezes a solid color and freezes my computer, i’ve already messaged Bohemia support and they directed me to a clean reinstallstion which did not work. If anybody knows any solutions i’m in desperate need. Please PM me. All drivers are updated and i can’t find the solution. Will pay if you help me find the solution

i dont have a RPT file from vanilla, only when i use mods

well, in this case your problem could be a fishy mod
dreamy quarry
ive ran with the same mods before it even started crashing, you think unistalling and reinstalling them will work ?

like i said, it could be anything. the mission you play in combination with a fishy mod, just a bad/corrupted mod...
make sure your vanilla game runs without freezes first

Anyone else having issues with BattlEye? When launching Arma 3 or DayZ, the launcher reports "Launching the game failed. Do you want to launch Arma 3 without BattlEye?"
BattlEye is working fine with other games using it (PUBG, R6S and such). So far I've tried verifying the game files, reinstalling the game, manually removing & reinstalling BattlEye and running the game with administrative privileges. Is there something obvious that I've missed?
weary sky
That issue sounds like something is blocking BattleEye from executing (like Anti-Virus). And since every game has it's own BE implementation, it's not possible to say "it works with other games".
keen oracle
@weary sky indeed, but I can't fathom what. The only AV I have is Windows Defender and I've attempted reinstalling BattlEye for Arma 3 and DayZ with it disabled as well.
While the implementation is game-specific, the instances do seem to share a common BEService.exe executable and service (see https://picano.co/spHL.png). The issue here seems specific to Bohemia's implementations and something with my PC.
keen oracle
turns out BattlEye launches fine when using A3Launcher

We have a problem with our Linux server loading missions, it worked absolutely fine the week before last week but last saturday we were unable to load some of our missions.
'bin\config.bin/CfgPatches.a3_music_f_enoch' is the error we would get when we loaded some missions.
The only change we made was updating 3CB Factions, CBA and RHS - suspecting that the downloads were corrupted, we redownloaded them but with no change. The missions that load vs the missions that do load are very inconsistent, nothing in common.

I've had a similar error just when booting the server, and just trying over and over works. It's confusing.

Rename the arma folders in your documents and then relaunch your game
It should recreate them iirc.

Has anyone ever encountered an issue, where buildings are simultaneously destroyed and not for a player?
uncut trellis
in multiplayer?
wise night
In multiplayer, yeah
I've actually managed to replicate it reliably now, and just want to know if this is some weird mod/mission issue, or it's a base Arma issue.
wise barn
vanilla or modded? if modded, what mods?
wise night
I can replicate it using vanilla SQF commands, but I don't know if that's the actual cause. Mod list is pretty extensive, RHS, CBA, ACE, Backpack on Chest, CUP, TFAR, Achilles, ADVMedical, a few ACE compatability patches
wise night
Terrain object.
wise barn
we encountered similar issues at cup and are investigating
wise night
You can trigger it by assigning 'allowDamage 0' or a 'HandleDamage' event handler to the building, on one client only.
Other clients show it as having damage allowed, although locally damage isn't.
Then just blow it up with something big and explosive.
It'll be destroyed for other players, but not for you.
wise barn
are only CUP buildings affected, or vanilla buildings as well?
wise night
Or, if you prevent the damage happening on the server, every client can see it as destroyed, but it's there for the server, meaning AI can clip through it.
And... unsure right now. I'll go test it on one of the large towers, and see what happens.
uncut trellis
For me it sounds like a MP scripting issue where the commands are not transferred to all clients
empty ravine
I can confirm it affects vanilla buildings
uncut trellis
does just shooting at the buildings work correctly?
empty ravine
I've seen it happen to cargo bunkers/towers as well as village houses
uncut trellis
when fired upon or when destroyed by scripts?
wise barn
does it affect vanilla buildings as well if NO mod is loaded (CUP)?
empty ravine
It works as you see it on your client pretty much, if you can see them you can't shoot through them, if you can't see them you can shoot through
same for walking on them
I've seen players standing on "nothing", while they see the building and can walk on it
wise night
Destroying it via scripts 'setDamage 1' works fine
Similarly, it also fixes it if they're de-synced.
empty ravine
Same community as spoffy btw, so these reports are from the same place in case you were wondering
wise barn
does it affect vanilla buildings as well if NO mod is loaded (CUP)?
wise night
Unsure right now, I'll go test it.
wise barn
thanks
empty ravine
I have definitely seen it without cup
from the top of my head the modset has usually been something like CBA, ACE, RHS, Enhanced Movement and TFAR (+ some clientside stuff like STUI, blastcore and soundmods)
wise night
@wise barn Replicated on Altis - Still had ACE,RHS, etc, loaded.
But again, I'm replicating it through console commands (setting allow damage to 0)
So I'm unsure if it'll crop up organically in totally vanilla Arma, without a script causing it.
I'm ideally looking for instances of it happening there.
wise night
Sorry, let me clarify, here's the exact script command I'm running:
//Local
target = cursorObject; publicVariable "target";
//Server
target allowDamage false;
//Local
isDamageAllowed target; //Shows true
//Server
isDamageAllowed target; //Shows false
Then I put down one block of RHS 400g TNT, detonate that.
That destroys the building locally.
//Server
damage target; //Returns 0
That shows that there's no damage to the building on the server. I've also run variants of this test, that when I use other clients (rather than the server), they can see the building still standing, while I see it destroyed.
Here's a script that provides a quick fix, by forcing any destroyed building back to the same damage value
addMissionEventHandler ["EntityKilled", {params ["_entity"]; if(_entity isKindOf "house") then {_entity setDamage 1;}}]
Installed on every client.
wise barn
we did tests at CUP:
vanilla and only CUP mods loaded, no issues. the error seem to be another mod
wise night
I'll go repeat that exact test, 100% vanilla if you like.
wise night
Right - I know, I can also replicate it with "HandleDamage" as an event Handler.
I know that allowDamage isn't synchronised across the network.
uncut trellis
is the goal to make a building indestructible?
wise night
The issue is - buildings end up in a state of being both alive and dead.
End goal is to eliminate this bug, where some clients see buildings as standing, some see ruins, others see both
wise barn
the intact model does not hide after destruction
wise night
I'm not 100% certain what's causing it.
uncut trellis
yes but is there a bug if you just shoot at buildings?
wise night
I only know I can replicate it.
That's what I'm trying to find out 😆
I can only force-replicate it at the moment.
Using SQF
I'm not sure how it's organically happening.
uncut trellis
then that likely needs to be figured out
wise night
That's what I'm trying to do - but right now, I don't have a way of replicating it without scripting.
uncut trellis
create bombs on it or something
wise night
It's fairly rare - I've been hearing about it for 3 months, but only today managed to actually catch an occurance on a server.
uncut trellis
also do you use the allowdamage false on your server?
wise night
Not sure - I've already been through our entire mission, can't see any places where we might be setting allowDamage on a building.
Or adding an event handler to it, for that matter.
Currently unsure if it's an issue in one of the mods (such as CBA or ACE), or something totally vanilla. I'm after some anecdotal evidence to figure that one out.
uncut trellis
simplest method is to run tests with no mods first and if it can be replicated then enabling mods one by one and testing in between
wise night
Maybe, but the thing is, I'm struggling to replicate it at all, without explicitly sticking using scripting commands with 'allowDamage' or EHs.
Going to try detonating a satchel charge in every house on Altis.
See if that does anything.
wise barn
as for our testing, the schroedinger buildings happen when some unedited arma 2 terrains (unported arma 2 terrain) are loaded
wise night
Oh, interesting. Does it occur when they're destroyed, or when they're loaded?
wise barn
not confirmed. but as far as we could tell some important baseclasses get overwritten
as for now we suspect the arma 2 version of namalsk and maybe fallujah
wise night
Interesting. Glad to know it's not just us getting this anyway. 🙂
Oh, one thing we noticed earlier today - Players that joined the server, had the building damage correctly set to 1.
I.E - It was destroyed. It was only a couple of players that didn't have them destroyed
(This is when it arose organically)
wise barn
interesting, will look into it
wise night
(We also noticed that building damage varies between different players - though I've only seen minor variations of 0.01 or 0.001 so far)
wise night
Totally vanilla, Altis, running Antistasi 2.2:
- Can replicate it using those script commands described above.
- Destroying 2000 buildings with satchel charges simultaneously on the client didn't trigger the issue.
But I've no idea if that ever would trigger the issue.
