@clear ledge
Check if latest ace is installed

Also if it 8s correctly installed

Battleye might be blocking it

clear ledge Jan 3, 2020, 1:35 PM

Thanks for replying;
1 ace is installed
2 it's from the steam workshop and it should be. I went over with him trying to install the ace advanced balistics thing from ace's website but no luck
3 I dont think it's battleye because we all have the same mods/files but it happens to him only

please ping for further replies

@clear ledge Unsubscribe and delete ace and re-download it

@quaint jewel Its a really odd one, that only occurs at certain heights, then the effect stops if the camera hits the floor. I'll try to replicate it today since its really weird.

does anyone know why ace medical doesnt like work at all me and my server?
-problems:
wounds randomly apeared.
Bandaging would take varying times to patch up
When patched and you used surgical kit it did not remove the wound
Paks were not usable at all
Morphine only worked 50% of the time
Bleed out was too quick
blood pressure and heart rate was wrong numbers

PS. all this happened after the new ace update

please @ or PM me when someone has an answer

uncut trellis Jan 3, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

@boreal ore ACE got major update that may need you to update a lot of things

boreal ore Jan 3, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

yeah my brain hurts after a milsim we tried to do today. it was literally easier for the medic to kill the person than heal them since they would respawn again

solid nova Jan 3, 2020, 10:49 PM

#

Not at all related to ACE breaking, but add a mandatory wait to respawn or as I do, a drive back in, taken very slowly. So the vauge agitation to player makes them less likely to gain an advantage from randomly respawning 🤔

boreal ore Jan 3, 2020, 10:56 PM

#

yeah well that wasnt really the main problem, the main thing was what i listed

loud wadi Jan 3, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

well I got ace fixed for me mostly to be back on par with basic but morphine really doesn't seem to work at all

#

maybe for a second

ancient grove Jan 3, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

Yep. The morphine got changed around as well, IIRC. They also added being "In Severe Pain" which is worse than being "In Pain" like you're probably used to. When someone is in "severe pain" you have to give them more drugs.

supple crystal Jan 3, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

@boreal ore You Need to read the ACE changelog on Github and blog post to understand what changed then redo all your ace medical settings for your missions/server
https://ace3mod.com/2019/12/31/ace3-version3130.html

loud wadi Jan 3, 2020, 11:48 PM

well I was in severe pain and put 1 morphine in each limp

that should be enough

or not

if not then thats kinda ridicolous

it took 3 for me yesterday during testing

#

Also, you should not boof morphine. It is not good for you.

supple crystal Jan 3, 2020, 11:52 PM

#

I doubt it as it went through a lot of testing, but unfortunately most of the devs are banned from here, so you will have to go to the forums, github or the ace slack to get answers.

loud wadi Jan 3, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

well i tried 9 now

#

still didn't help

#

didn't even put me down to "in pain" still "in severe pain"

supple crystal Jan 3, 2020, 11:56 PM

#

Have you properly updated and learnt the settings for your mission/server and read the changelog/blogpost, if not i suggest doing that, and then going to one of the places i mentioned for help, cause no one here seems to have definitive answers yet, as its such a huge change for everyone.

You don't really need it, it's not some magic fix for performance, it's used to test changes/fixes, and if they work then they get put into the main game.

Hey, I got a bit of a weird issue here. I'm running a dedicated server off a separate computer. I also have a headless client on that same computer. However, when I try to connect to my own dedicated server from my separate gaming computer I am met with the error "Kicked off the game, Steam Authentication Failed". The headless client is able to connect with no errors showing message of the day and all. I can note that the server is being run off of its own steam account so there should be no login conflict.

#

any suggestions?

#

I can also note that I can connect to other online servers just fine

#

I can also note that connecting with a client on the host PC also returned same error further indicating something is wrong with the server and not the client.

#

The server also returns an error along the lines of "Unexpected appID number x not matching expected appID number y"

#

did a reinstall of the server software and it all works now so consider the issue resolved.

supple crystal Jan 10, 2020, 3:51 PM

That is not a bug I've heard of before, it certainly isn't normal behaviour. Do you happen to play on a persistent server like exile with ace? only reason your game goes black and white with ace is when your very low on blood.

if its on a server, try placing a unit in the editor and playing as unit, if it doesn't if go black and white then its the mission/server that's broken not ace

sorry if this is more of a hardware topic, but whenever i alt tab out of arma my Pc runs extremely slow and sometimes my arma crashes due to it, is this just an arma problem or hardware? if needed i can post specs into hardware

weary sky Jan 10, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

sounds like a hardware problem, because Arma would still run in the background (taking a lot of resources) while Windows is not in "sleep" modus anymore (and thus also taking resources).

#

simple test would be to run in Window mode (which should also be slow) and using the No Pause mode (which should be faster when tabbing out of an SP game)

I'm stumped on putting optics on AI units via config.cpp right now.

supple crystal Jan 12, 2020, 3:46 AM

#

You have to make a new version (class) of the weapon, at the top of your config and add the attachments there then call that new class of weapon on your ai

real shard Jan 12, 2020, 3:48 AM

#

Can I post my PasteBin on the config file?

supple crystal Jan 12, 2020, 4:02 AM

#

{
    class rhs_weap_M107;
    class 85th_M107: rhs_weap_M107
    {
        class LinkedItems
        {
            class LinkedItemsOptic
            {
                slot = "CowsSlot";
                item = "rhsusf_acc_premier";
            };
        };
    };
};```

#

You declare a new class like this at the top of our config, then add the class to your ai so in this example the weapon class you would add to your ai would be 85th_M107

#

For the other attachment points look up "LinkedItemsOptic" on the biki and the other attachment points will be linked at the bottom of the page.

real shard Jan 12, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

I tried that and only the weapon is showing on the AI unit, no scope

supple crystal Jan 12, 2020, 4:16 AM

#

Look at how its implemented here, the new weapon class is declared at the top of the config, and then added to a crate called "M107 Crate" on line 1018-1019 https://github.com/85th-PMC/crates/blob/master/config.cpp

#

If that doesn't help, best move the convo to #arma3_config and post your config, those guy will be able to help more than me 🙂

Hey y'all.
Anyone have tips for troubleshooting a:
0x0000005 STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
🙂 ?

#

I have tried and googled a great deal. There seems to be a large list of possible causes.

weary sky Jan 12, 2020, 10:29 PM

#

from biki:

0xC0000005 - ACCESS_VIOLATION

This error is very generic. It may be caused by many issues, such as a hardware malfunction, a virus in the computer, but also an error in the game itself. Possible solutions:

Try joining another server, then rejoin the previous one.

Update the graphics card drivers to a newer version.

Rollback the graphics card drivers to an older version.

Check the temperature of your GPUs and CPUs.

Verify the integrity of the game cache using Steam.

Re-install DirectX.

Uninstall the Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable package (both x86 and x64 version), restart your computer and install the package again (do not use the Repair function).

Run a Windows System File Check tool to repair corrupted system files.

#

although it can also be a virus scanner blocking files of Arma

ionic hawk Jan 12, 2020, 10:36 PM

#

@weary sky You're right. I should have copy and pasted my email to BI support (which wasn't answered). I have tried a great deal. Here is:

#

Since today, after ~500 hours of play, I am having consistent crashes after a few minutes of gameplay in missions. Missions can be single- or multiplayer, or in the editor. Never in menus or briefings; only during gameplay.
The gameplay situation is never the same. Sometimes it is when interacting with objects, sometimes when entering a vehicle, when looking down a scope. Sometimes it is during a respawn.

The result is always the same. A direct crash to the desktop. The following error:

0x0000005 STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION

Not a single device driver has changed in the past 3 days (I keep tabs on this for security reasons). Arma has not had an update. My CPU, GPU, and memory have never been overclocked and are well within temperatures. Other demanding games run without error.

A reading of the (several) RPT files share this repeated error:

Unknown module

(the exact Fault Address and filename changes depending on the mission)

I run Arma with all the purchased DLC, but without any mods. I have verified the integrity of the game files. I have removed the files in "C:\User\AppData\Local\Arma 3" .

I think that covers all the suggestions mentioned in your Wiki for this error.

Do you have another?

Much thanks! This is a wonderful piece of software.

#

This reads as ungrateful; my apologies. I welcome your suggestions! I am just bitter 😦

#

I didn't try the Visual C++ reinstall. Will do that

weary sky Jan 12, 2020, 10:47 PM

#

a 0x5 error simply means "Access Denied", so the game tries to access something but can't.
This can be on the HD (eg. file is removed by VA, locked by having a file open in an editor) or from memory (eg. game can't read part of memory).

Unfortunately there's no "one-solution-to-fix-them-all"

ionic hawk Jan 12, 2020, 11:08 PM

@weary sky Thanks mate. Coincidentally I reinstalled Visual C++; no dice. What does "VA" stand for?

This can be on the HD (eg. file is removed by VA, locked by having a file open in an editor)
no it can't, its just a errornous memory access.
from memory (eg. game can't read part of memory).
yes that. but it tries to read memory that never existed.
It usually means a RAM issue
not really, usually its wrong input causing whatever to read a address thats not there.
if your game crashes, get the crash report (like the "your game crashed" dialog already tells you) and report it on the feedback tracker (like the "your game crashed" dialog already tells you).
Then try to verify your files in steam and try again, if crash still happens. wait for the feedback tracker report to get an answer.

Just wanted to report back. Fixed the "status_access_violation" error. Thanks for the tips.

BI had me installing third party registry cleaners (with adware), reinstalling the game, and throwing away my user folders.
None of it was necessary. A solution was to change a startup parameter "malloc = system". As in change how the game handles memory.
Of course not ideal, but no change in performance, and it works. Hope others can use this fix as well.

fringe salmon Jan 18, 2020, 2:07 PM

#

from the steam workshop

#

ill download again it seems the issue is with the ace mod itself

supple crystal Jan 18, 2020, 2:08 PM

#

do both client and server have the official one uploaded by acemod steam account

fringe salmon Jan 18, 2020, 2:08 PM

#

yes

fringe salmon Jan 18, 2020, 2:24 PM

#

im still getting the same issue

wise barn Jan 18, 2020, 2:25 PM

#

@fringe salmon
check your server RPT files

fringe salmon Jan 18, 2020, 2:25 PM

#

trying to now my interweb is crapping itself standby

#

anyway i can link it somehow?

#

so for some reason the ace compat mods arent being picked up by the server

wise barn Jan 18, 2020, 2:39 PM

#

arent being picked up by the server
what does that mean? they are not stored properly, or not loaded by the arma server application ?

fringe salmon Jan 18, 2020, 2:39 PM

#

not being loaded by server application

wise barn Jan 18, 2020, 2:39 PM

#

you need to add the mods to your launch params ofc

fringe salmon Jan 18, 2020, 2:40 PM

#

yes they are in command line although some look like this "ace_-_compat" not sure about dash?

wise barn Jan 18, 2020, 2:41 PM

#

wrong command line entry. that's not how the mods are called

fringe salmon Jan 18, 2020, 2:41 PM

#

oh

#

im only using that as example for the dash thats not what it looks like

wise barn Jan 18, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

if you have spaces in the names, you need to set it in ""

#

-mod="mod1\;mod2\;mod3"
that's how it should look like iirc

fringe salmon Jan 18, 2020, 2:45 PM

#

ok mine look like this @mod1;@mod2;@mod3;

wise barn Jan 18, 2020, 2:45 PM

#

ok, but what does you folder naming looks like?

fringe salmon Jan 18, 2020, 2:45 PM

#

im using nitrado if that makes a difference

wise barn Jan 18, 2020, 2:45 PM

#

if your folder naming is like @mod name something it has spaces in it. then you need it to be set in ""

#

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Startup_Parameters#Modifications

fringe salmon Jan 18, 2020, 2:48 PM

#

so i need to go through and put "" on all my folders that have spaces?

wise barn Jan 18, 2020, 2:48 PM

#

no...

#

-mod="@mod name one;@mod name 2;@modname3_whatever"

#

just at the beginning and the end of the mod line

fringe salmon Jan 18, 2020, 2:50 PM

#

i see, so using underscores where there are spaces is useless

wise barn Jan 18, 2020, 2:50 PM

#

but the names within "" must be the same as the folder names

#

i see, so using underscores where there are spaces is useless
exactly

fringe salmon Jan 18, 2020, 2:50 PM

#

ok that explains why none of the mods with spaces are working thank you so much youre a lifesaver have a great day!

quaint jewel Jan 18, 2020, 4:36 PM

#

@plush nexus there is nothing else to explain about it

#

memory is stored in blocks, and there are only a limited amount of them. So if Arma suddenly needs too many, it can't request any more and crashes

Hello, I'm having some issues setting up my server, when I set a line in the server.cfg password = "password" even if I put the right password in on the launcher, I get a wrong password error message, if I set it to no password, my friends and I can enter the server perfectly fine

I've tried with a variety of passwords, and any password causes the error response

my fps is garbage in some modes in multiplayer

i tried fixing it by tweaking graphics settings but it doesn't seem to do much

uncut trellis Jan 18, 2020, 11:26 PM

Some gamemodes/mods might be build badly and that can't be helped.

I was more talking about mod devs...

mighty pier Jan 19, 2020, 12:56 AM

#

@fringe salmon careful 'tweaking graphics settings'..... Lowering some settings can pass more load to the cpu which arma is already heavy on. I always find that just using things like nvidia's geforce experience game optimiser for nvidia is best

fringe salmon Jan 19, 2020, 1:00 AM

#

i have an rx580

#

but alright

weary sky Jan 19, 2020, 1:01 AM

#

just don't expect 60fps in multiplayer unless you have a super computer

#

and even then it depends on the mission and used mods

Hey guy! I have a problem with flying the helicopter

#

Yesterday flying was normal, today, I barely can gain any lift when I lift off and can't get up to speed and I crash because I can't go fast enough.

I haver the logitech 3d extreme and use DXTweak2

grim tinsel Jan 19, 2020, 3:22 PM

#

Do you use the standard or advanced flight model?

heady hamlet Jan 19, 2020, 3:22 PM

#

standard

#

DXTweak2 only has slider "cen" set to 245

grim tinsel Jan 19, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

Hm then I dont see why it should be different, is it in the same conditions?

heady hamlet Jan 19, 2020, 3:23 PM

No idea, it's just weird how I lift off slowly

and can't pick up speed to gain more that 15m height

Does arma require a lot of ram?

#

i have bought new ram so now i have 14GBs

#

i had 6GB before

#

14Gb is sufficient to run Arma 3, the minimum practically is 8GB but 16GB is recommended.

heady hamlet Jan 19, 2020, 4:07 PM

I fixed my problem. Turned out when I mapped my joystick again, it duplicated the controls

Has anyone ever had an issue where people can't connect to a server via direct connect? I've setup a dedicated server and verified I can connect via direct connect; however, no one else seems to be able to join via direct connect, they don't see the server in the list.

fringe salmon Jan 19, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

Is this server hosted somewhere else or in your home network? If the later then there is a decent chance you are getting routed locally and your NAT is stopping remote traffic and you need to open the ports to allow them to access it

mighty delta Jan 19, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

It's hosted by OVH, so it's in a datacentre somewhere. Ports 2302-2305 are all open, I even went as far as disabling the firewall in its entirety for a few minutes and even then they couldn't see it.

mighty delta Jan 19, 2020, 5:21 PM

#

Looking through the RPT, there are a few things that stand out, but I'm unsure if they'd be the cause since I can still connect and start a mission with no issues:

Warning: Current Steam AppId: doesn't match expected value: 107410

8:40:43 Unable to initialize Steam API.
8:40:43 SteamAPI initialization failed. Steam features won't be accessible!

quaint jewel Jan 19, 2020, 5:23 PM

appid.txt in game directory

#

should be 107410

mighty delta Jan 19, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

Yeah, that was the first thing I checked, it's set to the right ID but still spits the error.

#

No idea why it's doing it, but it doesn't seem to cause an issue.

quaint jewel Jan 19, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

wrong working directory?

mighty delta Jan 19, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

Don't believe so, RPT file references C:\steamcmd\steamapps\common\Arma 3 Server and the steam_appid in that is the correct one

Make sure that you have the newest version of the official ace addon @mossy gust

And also that you dont have any other mods loaded that interfere with ace medical

mossy gust Jan 19, 2020, 8:27 PM

how would i update ace?

#

every other time it would just do it automatically

grim tinsel Jan 19, 2020, 8:28 PM

unsubscribe from it on the workshop wait a bit, rescubscribe

And it should always update itself but stuff can always go wrong

do you have any other mods loaded that do anything related to ace?

that works

ill try pick off the mods

Try loading half of your modpack, if that works try loading half of the other half and so on until you find the problem @mossy gust

It's a known issue with no 100% fix other than using and older version of windows or getting an AUX headset, the cause is unknown but it's suspected that its a combination of USB headset + Win10 + Realtek audio drivers from after 2012ish

trying to set up an RCon for my arma 3 domination server.

went to my tadst directory, went to the profile running the arma3server executable, went into the battleeye folder and madeBEServer_x64.cfg

inside i set it up with ```RConPassword <mypasshere>

RConPort 2301```
yet everytime i try to log in with any RCon tool after the server's booted up using my virtual box's IP, port 2301, and my rcon password it always says failed to connect. anyone familiar with how to set up an rcon tool?

if you have a manual of yours at hand, you can look up the error beep / flash codes

You know what your motherboard is @fringe salmon? If you do, you need to search the model and also the beeps in conjunction with the red light. Motherboards generally have "beep code" systems which are basically combinations of beeps and lights to show different errors.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1126511665

its this mod

#

i subscribed to it but it seems to be a "hands on" type deal

#

for adding a resupply helicopter into mission with a command for it to come in

#

i followed the mod instructions with a test mission

#

so set up a vehicle, set up a dude with the
"this addAction ["<t color='#00FFFF'>Call Resupply Helicopter</t>", "ResupplyHelicopter\resupplyClickonmap.sqf", "B_Heli_Transport_03_F"];

#

in his attributes init

#

so that all works

#

until i enter into the test and scroll over and hit the "call heli" option

#

at that point a dialogue box pops up saying resupplyClickonmap.SQF not found

#

i have tried both putting resupplyClickonmap.SQF directly into the mission folder, or leaving it with the other resupply heli SQFs in their respective folder

should this just "be working"

did you put the mentioned folder into correct place?

is there any error messages?

well that indicates its placed in wrong folder

sudden oracle Jan 25, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

well i can try again

#

but like i also already said i have tried putting resupplyClickonmap.SQF in both the mission folder itself

#

as well as drag and dropping the resupply heli as per the mod instructions in full into the folder

#

but both times it seemed to not work but i will test it again

uncut trellis Jan 25, 2020, 3:30 AM

#

just to make sure the mission folder is the one you have saved your mission as?

sudden oracle Jan 25, 2020, 3:36 AM

Yes, going by the kind of rough english of these mod pages i think the instruction is to take (resupplyhelicopter mod folder) and but that inside the (mission folder(RHmod))

uncut trellis Jan 25, 2020, 3:39 AM

mpmissions\yourmission\resupplyhelicopter\resupplyhelicopter.....sqf

is where the file should be

yeah its (Me)\missions\Test Mission\ResupplyHelicopter(the folder)\resupplyClickonmap.sqf along with the other three SQF files

It might interrupt something loading. Especially if you have lot of mods. I think it's known to happen.

Arma is a lot heavier and larger scope game than your default shooters that have very small terrains compared to arma and fake the distance view beyond the play areas.

Also Arma is older game so it does not necessarily always use the latest tech improvements that are available. your FPS is in the higher end.

@icy silo, to answer your question from #videos_arma, I get that issue once and awhile. My fix had always been to update the drivers whenever there is one and then manual (re)select the audio devices I want it to record. Even if it says it’s defaulted correctly.

icy silo Jan 29, 2020, 10:18 PM

#

yes, thanks, actually, nvidia told me it had an update waiting, i installed it and bish, it starts working

signal gate Jan 29, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

Yeah, I’ve found I always have to update or it just doesn’t launch.

icy silo Jan 29, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

I think it might be related to my habit of switching between windowed and fullscreen too

#

but yes, its working for now, thank you

#

also, when using manual record in shadowplay, don't start it recording, go afk for dinner and come back expecting to have any SSD space free

#

cos it aint gonna happen

brave crag Jan 29, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

Anyone know how to get rid of Status access Violation!

#

0x0C000005 STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION

#

Only happens with Mods

#

Does not matter what mod or how many

wise barn Jan 30, 2020, 12:00 AM

#

so you can play vanilla without problems?

#

for longer than 10min?

brave crag Jan 30, 2020, 12:01 AM

#

yes

wise barn Jan 30, 2020, 12:01 AM

#

what mods are you launching?

brave crag Jan 30, 2020, 12:02 AM

#

I have done Many and I have also done 1 (being Unsung)

wise barn Jan 30, 2020, 12:02 AM

#

try CBA only for a start

delicate elm Jan 30, 2020, 12:03 AM

#

Then try CUP Terrains Core 🙂

brave crag Jan 30, 2020, 12:03 AM

#

Its only multiplayer Mission editor seems to work

#

The crash happens within about 5 minutes in multiplayer

wise barn Jan 30, 2020, 12:04 AM

#

any server?

brave crag Jan 30, 2020, 12:04 AM

#

Any server

#

I have tried up to 5 diffservers all with dif mods

wise barn Jan 30, 2020, 12:05 AM

#

try vanilla on an official unmodded server

brave crag Jan 30, 2020, 12:06 AM

#

That works ( i only tried for about 20 mins)

#

But still worked fine

#

I recently Tranfered windows to one o fmy SSDs and thats when the problem started

wise barn Jan 30, 2020, 12:07 AM

#

could be a number of reasons

#

but i guess it's a mod/game relocation issue

#

i'm digging in the dark so.... reinstall arma and the mods...?

brave crag Jan 30, 2020, 12:08 AM

#

Not sure whyt but i also have 3 (program files) Program Files, Program Files (x86), and Program files (x86)Steam

#

I have reinstalled multiple times same with mods, I have also tried doing it on a different drive

wise barn Jan 30, 2020, 12:09 AM

#

Program Files, Program Files (x86)
iirc one is 32bit apps and the other is 64bit apps

#

but that's not an issue at all. everyone as those folders

brave crag Jan 30, 2020, 12:10 AM

#

I know that but back before the transfer thats all i ever had iv never seen Program Files (x86)Steam

wise barn Jan 30, 2020, 12:10 AM

#

hmmm... what is the content of the last folder?

brave crag Jan 30, 2020, 12:10 AM

#

Normaly the Steam folder is in my Program files x86

#

appchache,bin,config,servers,steamapps, ECT...

#

Normally that path is Program files x86/steam/steamapps/common but for this its Program files x86steam/steamapps/com

wise barn Jan 30, 2020, 12:14 AM

#

i think something went wrong there... looks like this 3rd folder is only steam related. i suggest to uninstall steam via "programs and features", delete that folder from your drive and do a propper reinstall of steam in Program files x86

brave crag Jan 30, 2020, 12:14 AM

#

Everything i have steam related is on there like50 games+ is there a way to save the games

#

ALL my other games work just fine

wise barn Jan 30, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

you can relocate the steam libraries

#

but that's exactly what i wanted to avoid

brave crag Jan 30, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

Well at least my 150GB game isn't steam hah ok ill delete everything!

wise barn Jan 30, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

just because other games work fine doesn't mean it is fine

#

arma is very special....

brave crag Jan 30, 2020, 12:18 AM

#

Emphasis on the VERY

wise barn Jan 30, 2020, 12:18 AM

#

oh yes...

delicate elm Jan 30, 2020, 12:18 AM

#

speshul!

brave crag Jan 30, 2020, 12:18 AM

#

Oh also on windows 10... if that helps at all

wise barn Jan 30, 2020, 12:19 AM

#

but as said, i'm digging in the dark here. that's just a way it could work

#

win 10... well...

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

i have a very special connection to win 10

#

VERY

#

arma and win 10 don't like each other very much

delicate elm Jan 30, 2020, 12:20 AM

#

Never had issues personally

wise barn Jan 30, 2020, 12:20 AM

#

i had way too many for my taste

#

not with arma in particular, but a lot of other stuff

#

but that's not the point here

normal ether Jan 30, 2020, 12:22 AM

#

i have a question about an error i got while starting the game

brave crag Jan 30, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

It keepos trying to make a new Program Files (x86)Steam..... with the installer... and if i tell it to install in my regular Programfiles (x86) its telling me it needs to be empty? so should i make a Empty Steam folder in my x86?

wise barn Jan 30, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

no help if you don't actually ask your question
@normal ether

normal ether Jan 30, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

"the code execution cannot proceed because it was not found" what can i do to fix it

wise barn Jan 30, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

try to create a folder in Program Files (x86) and use that as destination

normal ether Jan 30, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

wise barn Jan 30, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

ok my bad

wise barn Jan 30, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

@normal ether

#

when and how does it happen?

delicate elm Jan 30, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

What dll does it report, if any @normal ether

normal ether Jan 30, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

i have the launcher open and i press start game it gives me that error

#

give me a minute ill find out.

#

0xc000012f

#

@delicate elm

#

90% sure

delicate elm Jan 30, 2020, 12:32 AM

#

Can you screenshot the window that pops up?

normal ether Jan 30, 2020, 12:33 AM

#

no not really because its on my friends computer and he has just informed me that he deleted the game.

delicate elm Jan 30, 2020, 12:34 AM

#

Okay

normal ether Jan 30, 2020, 12:35 AM

#

so the only thing that i can really say is that he has deleted and reinstalled the game, deleted and reinstalled battle eye, reset his parameters in the launcher, has deleted all of his mods, verified his files through steam, and has tried uninstalling it and deleting the arma 3 file itself.

brave crag Jan 30, 2020, 12:56 AM

#

Ok 1/4 done downloading, Hope this works

wise barn Jan 30, 2020, 12:57 AM

Credibility?

wise barn Jan 30, 2020, 12:58 AM

@normal ether has your friend tried this: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Unusual_process_exit#0xC000012F_-_STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_NOT_MZ
As it's the recommended possible solutions for fixing the 0xC000012F - STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_NOT_MZ error.
Since your friend has reinstalled multiple times they can no doubt skip the first suggested solution.

normal ether Jan 30, 2020, 1:35 AM

delicate elm Jan 30, 2020, 1:50 AM

#

Is that a Visual C++ Redist issue? That error means that Windows is unable to load a DLL that is required to run the game

#

Asking wider community...

normal ether Jan 30, 2020, 1:51 AM

#

ok

wise barn Jan 30, 2020, 1:51 AM

#

very likely
