It’s worth it but trying to work with him is semi painful.
Welcome to the world of tech support 😉
yeap
did you turn it off and on again?
luser!
using the launcher?
i dont know
that's the whole point of all this 😄
he is
nice
but
was it the vcredist missing?
idk but the way he fixed it was switching something to 32 bit.
this will create more problems down the road
ok
he should try running the vcredist x64 installer as well as the x86 one.
this will create more problems down the road
what kind of problems
in short, the 64-bit (x64) version of Arma has access to more system resources than the 32bit(x86) one
it will run much better.
please tell him to join this discord...
hes joined just waiting the 10 minutes
nice
hes got a minute left
ok im here
cool. did you run the vcredist installer? @obtuse basin
no
do it. 32 and 64bit version
Oh ok
Just the x64 version is all you need
a reboot is recommended
just to make sure
after that, try to launch 64bit arma
via launcher ofc
uhm... what?
Well this is going to sound really stupid
try me 😄
But i just rain out of time on my pc so I can’t check it till tomorrow
not even a quick launch to see if it worked?
he did an update on his pc which gave him a time limit so he basicly put parental controls on himself
Well this is going to sound really stupid
confirmed 😄
It looked like it was working it was launching I didn’t see a error it was at the little start up box
Yep
Well, let us know tomorrow
so no error and a small "arma" loading box?
Yes
done. 😉
Ok
it's working
Famous last words
Ok have a good night sorry for the trouble
NP... hope it works
this is #arma3_troubleshooting
no worries 😉
if it works now he has redownload all of the mods we use
goodnight yall
gn8
Ok see you tomorrow
ok I'm back i got a tiny bit of time to check and its running on 64 bit so it looks good thanks for the help
🤘
@wise barn didnt work 😦
Hello, Steam question, is it just me or are resources behind the front facing library pages down? Do not seem to be responding whatsoever, workshop, discussions, etc. Seems to be a general Valve thing, not just A3, FYI.
Would make sense, and if I jump out to a web browser,
An error occurred while processing your request.
Reference #97.6de13217.1580402572.44e33ceb
For me it's sort of up and down-ish
I posted this in #offtopic_arma , but i'll repost it here - https://steamstat.us/
it's ran by steamdb people, so accurate.
LOL... Steam API is broken That's surely nothing new 🙂
need help
i dont know whay i did but my mods and dlc dont appear in the launcher after downloading them
its like they are downloading in another file
not even dlcs
i messed up something on the steam cmd i think
When I join it kicks me out saying that I either have to install music_f_ file
Or either remove it
@wild hawk The exact error message would be helpful, and the circumstance under which it occurs.
Sir yes sir I’m not home rn so I’ll send exact message later
my units aren't working, does anyone have a fix for this? it says unit data acquisition failed and doesn't work from the launcher or in game
haha, also for some reason the website is broken aswell. but some people i know their units work.
A3 forums 502 bad gateway... again. why does this keep happening as of late?
hey, i have trouble with a costum face not work, it won't load into the profile, there's no option where i could find the costum face
The trolls are out in force. No doubt contributing to any DDoS attacks on the forums as well.
Can someone help me ?
Yeah 
How do I get altis life on arma
@wild hawk
you are missing the HLC Core mod / NIarms
How do I get altis life on arma
could you be a bit more specific please?
@still gate
@wild hawk
on the steam workshop
Okay thank you
@still gate
open your vanilla arma launcher
switch to server browser tab
look for a server you want to join
if the server uses mods you get prompted to download them
once downloaded, you will enter the server
when you open steam and start arma, the window that gets opened is the vanilla arma 3 launcher
Ok thx
So all I do is look up a server download all the mods it suggests and join
@wise barn
basically yes
Ok
I did that and it’s just on this loading bar for like a min and then I load in and it takes me to the server list again
try the next
some servers use "custom modpacks" that are not available on the steam workshop and more often contain ripped content from other games and mods, which is a violation of many licenses. avoid those at all costs
Ok
502 bad gateway trying to reach the BI forums, wiki, etc
Ah is that why it now takes an extra minute to startup?
Can't post image?
Grrr
Anyway procmon shows 1m30s on loadup all arma is doing is pinging a UDP socket
could be? if it cannot reach due to 502 gateway issues, it is probably "timing out" local side.
and 90s sounds like an arbitrary time out period to me.
is the BI wiki downloadable?
502 504 gateway errors reaching the forums, wiki, etc
ETA on the wiki, forums, coming back online?

Hey guys, what can I do to resolve LOD issues like this? https://imgur.com/a/lDIwInt
I've noticed that if I turn up shadows to 200m, it goes away for trees within ~250m but not for ones further away
Hey guys, BIForum is dead. 502
Known
👍
soo last night i posted a question on my exit code: 0xC0000005 - Status Access Violation, couldn't find much of anything on the internet, tried a launcher parameter i saw on youtube though... seems to happen when any vehicle is started, anybody have any thoughts or input on this issue, its really bumming me out.
ive saved the error report if anybody is good at lookn at those i could share with
USB headset?
USB/Wired, ive got the new razer headphones so i can do both.... but i think i fixed it.... i had to edit my launch perameters tooo -malloc=system... hopped back on the server with all the mods, and no crash.... so fingers crossed?... might be back to ask again... idk lol
AcesToday at 11:02 AM:
Ok, so i did about 3 reinstalls, 3 filed validations, and even tried joining a unit, which was unsuccessful. I talked to Tanner from Bebop(unit) and we did different things for about an hour but nothing worked.
Problem:
Gamw launches fine, but when I click play it give me 2 prompts, 1: is the battle eye message with the blank blank for the missing file. The second prompt is "STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND" and I click close and game launcher is still up but nothing i did helped, even checked the files myself and compared them to Tanner from Bebop and it looks fine. Do you know a solution to this?
Note: I also googled it and all the soulutions took me to the forums which are down.
Also, cpu and gpu meet requirements
Plz @ me with reply since i have reg notifications disabled

(second prompt)```
Hey guys, I've got a weird problem
12:30:53 Mission Vindicta_Altis_v0_29_192.Altis: Number of roles (0) is different from 'description.ext::Header::maxPlayer' (50)
12:30:53 Mission Vindicta_Altis_v0_29_192.Altis: 'description.ext::Header::minPlayer' (1) is too high - there is 0 roles
Why does my mission doesn't have any roles?
How can I add them?
@azure solar Is the author he might be able to help you.
@unkempt moss Are you running a dedi server? if so it could be that your server max/min player settings aren't properly set up.
@supple crystal the problem was using the PBO manager instead of ARMA tools, resolved now
Yeah pbo manager didnt pack properly it seems
@azure solar I got it working without ACE medical, with the vanilla revive system. Altough I needed to delete medical *.pbo's from ACE
If I'll manage to script that I will surely put a pull request on your github
@azure solar I believe so, it can be modified via description file, but AFAIK Antistasi and few other mods can detect whether ACE Medical is loaded If I am not mistaken
Lets go to our discord we've gone off topic 🚀
so when my mates are trying to join my server they get stuck on the loading screen, it might be TFAR but idk
Im having issues on hosting a server for Arma. People are not able to see my server or even join it. My UnPN is open along with my 2302 port. What do I do?
What do I do?
ask your ISP if they provide you with IPv4 or IPv6. if it's IPv6, you're out of luck
nah, we found the issue. It was 2 mods
feel free to share which mods that are, could help other people with the same issue @fringe salmon
Bullet Casings and 2 Primary weapons one
oki thanks for sharing
Every time I tab out of Arma and tab back in, it starts skipping frames and lagging out a lot lmao
Is this is the channel?
Some people have a lot of problems tabbing out of Arma, its from 2012era when games didn't handle it very well, using window mode sometimes helps.
Windowed mode helps a lot
Was there not an launch parameter option to keep simulation running when alt tabbed. That could help too.
It's called -noPause iirc
That👆
If there's error messages then perhaps. If there's not then you will likely need to test which mod(s) cause issues by turning them off and then on one by one. Start by describing the issue though.
Can I send you a screenshot of the error?
you can upload it to imgur or other site like that or send to a friend or your own Discord server and copypaste link here
Can't just send to you? It's a snip and sketch of the error code
just cant paste photos in here
yes
Weird.
Used the mod last night, got home from school and tried loading and got hit with that
this server has some 20k users and regular users have limited feature access to limit spam.
your issue is likely due to corrupt mod files, verify the addon through the Arma 3 Launchers mod list
repair option right?
clicking it doesnt seem to do anyting
ima unsub resub and report back here
oh repair worked
ah thank you, youre the goat
got an error setting up P drive
i was using arma3P.cmd and everything was going fine untill it got to the DLC folders. not sure what the errors mean,can anyone explain it and Will it affect anything at all?
https://gyazo.com/c9bf0a1a474537644c86bac868a5b0da?token=ea5740382e7aaface734b48dcdf99797 (ss link to error)
looks like environmental paths in Windows have not set up right
okay ill look into it and try to set it up properly, ty
its apparently windows 10 issue with Mikero tools
so I'll ask here too
no you don't
I hope it doesn't violate rules.
actually it does
can someone help me i bought arma but havent been able to join a server yet it just says battleye has kicked u
Is that the only thing thats being shown? @mint moss
Can you post a screenshot of that on an image hosting site and post the link here? @mint moss
i pm'd u it @grim tinsel
Looks like you might be missing a mod? Not sure since I cant remember seeing a message like taht before @mint moss
Try joining the server via the launchers server browser when you've finished verifying your game files
When you select the server you should be able to see if they use any mods
Ok thanks

Would it be on the official section or internet section @grim tinsel
Depends on the server, official section only shows servers hosted by Bohemia Interactive
Joined one with no mods it was loading for a while then said Script scripts\server\remote call\airdrop_remote_call.sqf not found
Still loading me in tho
Loaded*
@mint moss Just to be sure, try joining an official server, doesn't matter if its empty
And tell us the exact name of the server so we no what your joining.
Yeah just asked him to do that via pm
[ OFFICIAL ] Arma 3 Warlords By Bohemia Interactive (EU) #0B Type Warlords Mission Warlords
Joining it now
You were kicked off the game. (BattleEye: CreateVehicle Restriction #1)
@grim tinsel @supple crystal
Huh
That’s what It said then kicked me out
So i don't want to point fingers, but from that message and the pictures you sent Pi, battleye thinks your hacking in some way. If you did just get the game, then i suggest closing any programs you have running in the background including anti-virus programs, as BE might be picking one of them up as a false positive.
@mint moss ^^
is mcaffee anti virus? @supple crystal
yes, and a terrible one
i have iot installed but its not open in task manager
^ mcaffee is an antivirus, but we dont know if thats the application causing the problem
in task manager the only things open are discord arma 3 and steam
well try again
is that in simple or expanded mode?
^
i dont know the difference
When you open the task manager at the bottom theres a button saying either more details or less details
Do you have Reshade installed for Arma or any other games, BE hates Reshade?
dont know what that is
Prob not then, send a picture of your extended task manager, and if you think you have closed everything else, try joining an official server again.
@mint moss https://twitter.com/Arma3official/status/1225076615165698049
try updating Arma and restarting it maybe - also be sure to join non-modded servers if you don't have any
SECREP #00028! FROM: @TheBattlEye / TO: #Arma3 Users / UNIT: Main Branch / ACTIVITY: Anti-Cheat Update / SIZE: ~13.6 MB
Also try restarting arma and take a look at the battleye tab in the launcher 
Jesus christ you have a lot of random crap running in the background, and i forgot how many random services Macafee runs in the background
Yeah I only ever knew about the simple one, I don’t use pc much lol. Only use it for ark really so not very good with them, is there a way to close everything without doing it individually
Ok
Think I might have deleted something I shouldn’t have as when I go to type in the bottom left by windows nothing is appearing, going to restart pc
a) McAfee is still running
b) Premier Opinion is a PUP program and essentially malware
c) god knows what Gift Box Service & Gift Box.agent are
PUP program
?
It shows when I type now, should close them all ?
Potentially Unwanted Program
ah
that one is a metadata icecream scoop 🤣
What’s that
oh and you didnt shut down Epic Launcher
I click end task on mcafee but it doesn’t do anything
its harvesting metadata and selling it to advertisers
Personally i would just uninstall McAfee and replace it with avast
U lost me at metadata lol
Geez you must live under a rock 🤣 TLDR its information on your internet habits that is sold to advertiser's so they can target you with ads
Lol is that why I get the same 1 ad on utube every time ?
Probably
You can try Malwarebytes and see if that can detect it but otherwise you will have to follow one of the guides online to remove it, it looks like it digs its self into your system pretty hard
Or download SpyHunter which is a malware removal tool, but its self can be a bit annoying to uninstall after you done iirc, i haven't used it for years.
Ok thanks
Anyone signed a mod before? I have done it with both Addon Builder and DSUtils and installed the keys on both the server and client correctly but every time the server says my pbo's are not signed by a key accepted by this server.
Nah I was an idiot. I was using the wrong public key.
and still, use pboProject
Ill take a peak.
Hey I've got two problems with my Arma. The first problem I've experienced ever since I remember, basically when I fly a jet and open the chat window, the throttle immediately drops to 0. The second problem that I've experienced quiet recently is whenever I fly a helicopter and open the chat window, the helicopter drops like a rock. I'm using default Arma keybinds. My joystick is disconnected, for extra measure
what chat window?
when your arma looses focus, the throttle goes down, thats a known bug
i think I can remember the throttle dropping when I opened the chat aswell
(ingame chat that is)
Borken keybinds?
@quaint jewel the chat, when you press / to open chat. Any word on when that's gonna be fixed? Because I've been seeing this bug for almost 2 years now
@weary sky Default keybinds. Triple checked, nothing is overlapping
no when
Okay, what can I do on my side to minimize/remove this problem?
Especially the helicopter one because that appeared quiet recently (as in, a few months)
i made a mission, loaded it into a dedicated server and for some reason im literally a seagul looking into the nothing
i cant do anything
would appreciate some help
propably missing player/playable slots @rocky pelican
Is there a way to expand window mode or is it stuck at like 2 inches wide lmao?
Video Option --> Display --> Resolution iirc
Thanks
Would anybody know why, despite being logged into Admin, I can't access the CBA_A3 Server Addon Options
How do you set your CBA options? I know that if you pack the settings into a cba_settings.pbo which is on your server, and you have used eg force force advanced_ballistics true; the dbl force makes it so it cant be changed by anyone mid mission unless you set up whitelisting+admin logged.
What am I doing wrong? I put out 3 fire teams and 3 vehicles. I place the way put for all 3 to each 3 vehicles and put "Get in" for the action. They all go next to the vehicles but don't get in
Did you check if the vehicles were locked?
iany server i try to join just says ive been kicked for random reasons.
@supple crystal I'm trying to set them through the configure addons tab while I'm logged in as admin on my server.
hello I need some tech support - starting today every server i try to connect to and select a role/slot in, proceeds to give me a red chain and "Connection with host has been lost"
THere are other people active on the server so I know its not a server issue
i've tried validating my files, unlocking my firewall, reinstalling the game etc etc
but i still can't connect to anything. ANyone have a solution?
@lunar sky Are the settings in the server tab grayed out? If they are being overwritten by something it will show a little "!" On the right side of each of the settings you can hover over for more info
@supple crystal the server tab itself is greyed out despite me being logged into admin. The mission tab on the other hand is not, but I don't remember if I could change things on it
iirc if the mission tab is greyed out/has a warning saying it's being overwritten by server it probably means your server has a cba_settings.pbo on it somewhere, which is forcing the server settings.
If you want to permanently set the settings for your server so they can't be changed by people logged as admin or overwritten by mission makers, then the best way is to make a cba_settings.pbo, the instructions are on the CBA GitHub, but TLDR you launch a mission from the editor, set all your settings as, the export it then copy paste into a file called cba_settings.pbo or something similar, Infront of each setting you write force force to force it on the players and the mission, if you want then player editable like tfar intercom volume you use leave out the force force
@lunar sky ^^
What if I want the settings to be dynamically changed by the admins?
ummm the ATGM dont work on my drone in campaign, they dont go where im ponting at
like only sometimes it goes where i want
was it locked on target before firing?
@lunar sky Check the CBA GitHub you can set it up so you can force standard settings for the server that can be overwritten by people logged as admin who are also whitelisted via steam UID
If you need more help, you can go to the ACE slack, that's where official CBA support happens
Ah cheers, appreciate that
So I just finished downloading mods from workshop, 26GB worth, it basically says update cancelled although I didn't do anything to it
Usually whenever I click the thing to update it, it just redownloads 26gb
And it
it's just done it again
do you have diskspace for them?
i tried to download arma 3, didnt work, but when i tried to download my other games, such as rocket league, csgo, r6s, etc, all of them seems fine
i tried to clear the download cache, still didnt work
not enough hdd space?
i have a lot of space
hey, i have a question.. when i save my singleplayer mission, it shows up after i reload it that i cant play it because: ''a3_static_f_sams_radar_system_02'' it says that this got deleted.
@leaden glade Don't crosspost it's against the #rules please remove your post in #offtopic_arma
thank you. @supple crystal
As for you question, the sams/radar are from jets DLC are you sure your loading Arma with jets dlc?
And when you say save & load do you mean a mission your making in the editor or save & loading an SP mission your playing?
Did you make it?
You can send images via imgur link btw here. Swear no one one has heard of sharex it's 2020, can't people stop sending pictures of their screen they took with their phone, makes my eyes bleed 🤦
Is this a vanilla mission or something you got from the workshop?
no, its a normal arma mission. the prolog missions
Verify your game files via steam.
I'm 99% the sams/radars where part of a free platform update, and i'm also pretty sure they aren't featured in any of the vanilla campaigns but someone might correct me on that.
Your games missing files, like i said verify files via steam
sure.
ArmA3 is making me download it again
try restarting steam and validating the files
When I turned my computer on I double clicked ArmA3. Then it said something about DxDiag
perhaps you have some other problems going on
I went through it then suddenly it told me to reinstall it and that I didn’t have enough space. So I deleted a few games and files and now it’s downloading . I’m just curious on why it happened
Anyone else have pretty notable issues with Arma 3 with the newest NVIDIA driver update? My FPS has dropped a lot and I get random visual glitches. When I asked others who have the newest update, they said they got the same issues
Steam needs more disc space than stated in the download.
Steam downloads a packed version of the content, unpacks it and then installs it
@neon shore
@gritty onyx I wouldn't be surprised i never download GPU drivers when they first release, unless i'm already having a problem, just role back
On startup of the launcher I got this error:
Reason: [-103] Unknown```
verify game files in steam
every server i try to connect to and select a role/slot in, proceeds to give me a red chain and "Connection with host has been lost"
There are other people active on the server so I know its not a server issue
i've tried validating my files, unlocking my firewall, reinstalling the game etc etc
but i still can't connect to anything. Anyone have a solution?
are you connecting with the Steam Arma Launchers server browser?
i've tried connecting with launcher and in game
I'm on tipping point and got to the hill where there are boats lying on the ground. I've been waiting for a while now and nothing's happened. What should I do?
I've restarted the whole mission and that didn't work.
I didn't get given an order to retreat
hello , does any one know how to resolve this bug : ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Circular addon dependency detected, check Rpt for details.
why all the "----"?
the error tells you what to do check your RPT, you can find it in appdata in the arma folder
@cosmic sky
your mod?
@cosmic sky you have two (or more) addons which have an entry in requiredAddons pointing to each other.
so the game now tries to load the addons before each other, which of course is impossible
Excuse me , I've recently had an Issue with joining my friend but were having problem and By the way Our UPNP's Are setup with port fowarding aswell . We try to host a server to play missions but he or me cant join each other which is really annoying . But the weird thing is me and him can Join each other every now and then is thier something im doing wrong , as we've tried countless times and countless Amounts of new Systems such as Removing mods adding mods and its just horrible ...........please Help me , Thank you .
@weary sky yeah i found the error u Said right thanks you very much
Any ideas of what could be causing a bug where sometimes all the textures get screwed up and the frame rate drops to basically nothing?
Could be an issue with your PC, or something to do with mods. Either of those seem likely?
@hearty bloom Yea check if it happens without mods on a vanilla mission, if it still does then verify your game files, if that doesn't work it could be a storage/RAM issue.
I think something like that has been said to be gpu related.

I'm having issues getting unit emblem to show up in-game... I have tried 4 different images and they are all minimum 512x512 and less than 300kb and also a png. None of them show up in-game. They show up just fine on the A3 Launcher and in the top right of the main menu (profile) But NOT in-game on my shoulder or in the player list... I give up.
Things i've tried: Joining a public server to see if that made it appear, rescaling the image to different sizes above 512x512. Changing picture entirely. Nothing works.
For images to show in game they need to be in the Arma format .paa you can find a tool to convert them in Arma 3 tools on steam @jolly bay
It clearly states on their website for it to be png, and I have never used anything but png for previous units. And it have worked just fine. So thats bs
You can even use a png file for setObjectTexture. So A3 has support for png.
hello everyone, I have a problem when I open arma 3, an auto apdate 3.2 gb starts downloading, when it finish it says "update cancelled", can anyone help me with this thing ?
Make sure you have at least 7GB free space on your drive.
Restarting steam also might help
I am having an issue where I get the double load and the hide terrain objects module does not work properly
it seems to activated after loading in so anything i placed where what i hid was is destroyed
Playing an op, had sound, got killed. Game crashed, came back, no sound. Restart PC checked to make sure game is turned up and had proper out put. WTF. Pls help
USB audio device and win10?
It just randomly happened
i know, still no fix
You’re joking
it is suspected to be caused by realtek audio chips of a specific version and/or realtek drivers
issue got introduced with 2017 creators update
happens so randomly that in depths troubleshooting is close to impossible
So even uninstalling and reinstalling probably won’t fix any issue as simple as my audio cutting out due to my game crashing after an over load 🤨
well, you could try to erase all traces of realtek software and disable your onboard sound chip in the bios
your other options are:
- get a 3.5mm jack headset (no USB)
- revert back to win8.1
I’ll keep fiddling around with it, thanks for the info
Unplugged everything, blue tooth for the headset, microphone. Now it’s working properly after a restart and replug. Weird because I was hearing TFAR but not the game.
@wise barn thanks for the help
Weird because I was hearing TFAR but not the game.
the TFAR audio comes from TS and not from Arma itself @olive swift
@wise barn i have 47GB free, but when the workshop update finishes, it says it cancelled
My game keeps crashing whenever i try to close a popup box. Heres my rpt and the ingame message https://gist.github.com/jdoxley/c48ea8b2a4f08b20972d09cd95eccdc2
i've tried verifying my game files/mods already no luck.
your installation of RHS might be corrupted
Is it me or the biki has been going down a lot reecently? Seen it down like 3 times in a week
yup, you're not the only one noticing that
BIForums always seem to be down just as I need them :/ haha
Use google's cached file feature...
Do you mean clearing cached files in history?
No... in google seatch... by the title there is a drop down... choose "cached"
It used to be more obvious in google in the old dayz... guess they needed the screen real estate for ads...
school day? noooooooo
Probably a stupid question, but how do I reach out to Bohemia support?
For what?
support email then. Or perhaps drop a line to one of the moderators here.
Anyone here run into issues with CBA saying it's not signed by the server, when it is indeed on the server?
usually that means it actually is not signed properly
He's using the exact files from the server though
Being on the server does not mean they are signed
There is something wrong with "Units". In the launcher it says "Arma 3 Units data acquisition failed" and it's also not possible to look for or register new units on https://units.arma3.com/ at the moment.
Yeah just give it some time I guess, will props be fixed by BI soon @robust egret
@grim tinsel Yeah, I just thought I should tell them in case they haven't noticed it, yet. Afterall they can't fix something they don't know is "broken".
Ah oky, thanks for that then 
What does the warlords mission designer have to do with Arma units?
Refrain from pinging unrelated BI members. According to #rules. k thx bye
Refrain from pinging unrelated BI members. According to #rules. k thx bye
Oh, sorry. I haven't seen that there's a rules channel and thus haven't read the rules, yet. My apologies.
So, im playing with the mod ACE realistic combat edit and when i the ace interaction menu just doesn't pop up but the rest of the ace features work that dont need an ace menu
Have you tried replicating the issue with the official ace version? @sweet mason
no i dont know what caused it though
tried it the same problem still occurs the menu doesn't pop up.
I'm currently playing the Contact DLC. I have gotten to a point where I'm getting no new missions. I have mission, which is to disable an auto-turret. Problem is, the turret is destroyed already. It's telling me to disable it, but it is already disabled. It's covered in this blue ice looking thing. I'm not sure what to do as I'm not getting anymore tasks.
I think you need to approach the turret amd then you'll have an action to destroy it
In Arma 3, I can't see my friends server when he makes one. He can see mine when I create one. Any tips on how to fix this?
does his ISP provide him with an IPv4 connection? if not, no server for him
ISP? IPv4? Not sure what those are.
Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) is the fourth version of the Internet Protocol (IP). It is one of the core protocols of standards-based internetworking methods in the Internet and other packet-switched networks. IPv4 was the first version deployed for production in the ARPA...
ISP = internet service provider
you most likely have an IPv4 connection.
arma is very picky on that. the locally hosted server doesn't work with IPv6
How do you tell what you have?
some sites like https://www.whatismyip.com/ might show a IPv4 address to your friend, but if his ISP gives him a IPv6, the displayed IPv4 is just translated
to be 100% sure, he needs to ask his ISP
If we have different IPv things, why can he see mine then?
because your server gets transmitted to the internet
If I do the direct connect, I only get to the Arma loading screen and that's it.
If I do the direct connect, I only get to the Arma loading screen and that's it.
Would mean the server is not reachable. Which you already seem to have known beforehand
@sharp nebula I'd recommend you have a read of #rules as you clearly didn't read them yet.
I guess you're talking about desync.
Your internet is probably too bad
more ping and packet loss related than pure bandwidth
the cause can also be a lagging server or high pings
Is anyone familiar with the following error and know of any potential solutions? The error is from a dedicated server log.

Hey guys, I'm having a recent problem
After updating my computer,(windows update) my friend can't see when I host a server
It doesn't give me any errors whatsoever when I host the server
but for some reason he can't see it
I am assuming the windows update screwed with something
but I am unsure of what, disabling the firewall did not work either
@native osprey this is a common problem. I'm not very experienced with local servers but I know that you can do something called "port forwarding" to fix this issue in most cases. I've never done it myself, you would have to search google for the steps in how to do it, or someone else here may have done it and can provide a better description
Well that's the thing, checking port forwarding used to work just fine
Now we have to use the local server since the port forward stopped working or something
I'm not super familiar with port forwarding, but I think there's more to it than checking a box.
Unless someone else will offer a detailed answer, your best bet is to search google and/or youtube on how to port forward.
possibly missing a mod
@cinder river did you solve it?
was the server working before this error, or has it happened during setup
Did you get the mission file as a saved mission from your profile under documents?
I'm not 100% certain on this but I think that error may be that the mission specified something to start in a specific position and since you uploaded a saved mission file it's just letting you know something is out of place like an AI or a vehicle. If it seems to be working fine I would just keep it running unless your worried it will cause problems. These RPTs are difficult to diagnose sometimes.
Maybe, maybe not, you will have to play and find out, but for that level of rpt spam you have obviously stuffed something up in your mission
Or your server's broken somehow, try running a vanilla MP game mode, like an official zeus mission or apex protocol on your server and see if it still happens
Setting resolution lower than the desktop use, in game cause the ui to always change. What can be the issue?
@fringe salmon Any particular reason you're setting the game resolution lower than your monitor resolution? Also, what specifically is the problem, an in game resolution lower than your monitor resolution will cause UI to appear larger.
After every restart it changes from normal ui to large or small. Can't click on Options like it's not in place. If I change resolution again it's good. I wanted other resolution, because it seemed to run better.
I mean I can click on it it's just wierd have to move the mouse to a different place
are you running the game in windowed mode (or borderless window)?
no on fullscreen
well... if I go from 2560x1440 to 1920x1080 I don't have any issues, if I go smaller (but still 16:9) it also messes up everything.
Although that seems more an issue of Windows not being able to track the mouse location than an Arma issue
try lowering other settings and keeping your game resolution the same as your monitor. things like particals, shadow, pip, reflection
and for FPS increases; disable PiP and lower the view distances
the rest I would put on auto-detect
ok thanks for the help
If you really want or need to use a lower resolution, still set your monitors resolution for the game but decrease your rendering resolution to something <100%
alright, will do, thank you
hey guys im having an issue with the tfar mod. okay so I have teamspeak installed, but when i go to link the plugin, i cannot find it on my plugin list on teamspeak to enable. this is the file path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3!Workshop@task_force_radio\teamspeak
well, this is the Arma Discord, not TFAR Discord... which you can find in #channel_invites_list
But a quick tip: https://i.imgur.com/FY05Lvn.jpg
@weary sky thanks for the pic i got up to part 7 where you double click the plugin it just pulls up teamspeak home page but not the plugin installer. unfortunately i got banned from the tfar discord do you know another appropriate place to post this question?
Have you got TS installed somewhere 'non-standard'? it's pulling up the TS site because it can't easily find your TS install.
@supple crystal YAAAAA got it. i had to reconnect it to open with "createfileassoc.exe" i had it connected to the client directly i guess? i really dont know what just happened but that took three hours more than it should
okay so i got it to the point where i can press cap lock. everything works except you cant hear my voice. Vanilla VOIP works just fine. the radio clicks are there and everything people recieve the static transmission sound but no voice?
unbind vanilla VOIP control
just tried that no luck the only thing bound to caps lock now is tfar push to talk
does anyone have a profile for 16000.m thrustmaster HOTAS for jets mainly
Not like its DCS, theirs only a handful of things to bind, or are you having issues binding things to the HOTAS?
@ripe widget ^^
like
thrust only works so much
cant bind rudder control
or fire
no i can bind fore
fire
just moreso the thruster
iirc a lot of it you have to bind to bind the hotas to a custom control then the custom control to the actual action.
Thrust is something that always comes up, try google i think there are ways to fix it.
Hey guys. Buddy is having an issue where out of the blue his a3 crashes on launch. Was fine then it wasnt. He's getting this error
Oxc00000005 status access violation
Any chance you can provide some more info? iirc the status access violation is a very broad error
It just says that it's closed in an unusual manner. It's closed exactly at 4 mins after program launch
Modded or vanilla?
Windows 8.1 or 10?
USB Headset or analog?
...
And send your buddy here for troubleshooting in person
Saves time for everyone
Yup let me get him in here 1 sec
@spark kiln
Here he is. Thanks guys
Ah he's got a 10 min wait lol
hey Guys. I'm about ready to pull a Swanson and toss the pc in the trash 😦
so with the 0xC0000005 access violation - the crash occurs at exactly 04:04:0019 seconds into launch.
the fixes applied so far:
- Verified intergrity of steam files (failed)
- Reinstalled game to SSD (Failed)
- Reinstalled game to secondary hdd (failed)
- uninstalled again, cleared cache files in appdata, cleared registry files.
- Fresh install. (failed)
- Checked memory allocator, cpu count, tried running in 32bit & 64bit (failed)
- reset cpu and ram overclocking. (failed)
- rolled back nvidia drivers (failed)
- checked all hardware for malfunctions ie. stress tests etc. hdd defrags (pc is running optimally)
- crash occurs on multiple servers aswell as in SP.
the only thing i can think of right now is fresh formatting win 10 and starting fresh... which just to run arma seems too much hassle. the last format was at the beginning of Dec. so pc is still relatively fresh.
something small you can try: run Steam as an administrator and start Arma 3 from Steam
and reinstall DirectX and Visual C++ stuff could also fix it
I've reinstalled directx and visual c++. Unfortunately the admin thing is how i already start arma, i run the launcher through steam and its manually set to run as admin.
i've run virus and malware scans and those come up empty.
you can see why i'm plucking my hair out lol.
@wise barn Modded & vanilla both crash with the same error.
Win 10 pro x64
headset is Wireless USB - Steelseries Arctis 7.
pc specs:
i7 6700k
16gb ddr4 ram
500gb samsung evo ssd
1tb western digital hdd
1080ti founders edition from nvidia
(cpu is not the newest but its not a potato either)
i've been prowling as many forums as i can that could shed some light. @coarse vault advised me to bring it here in hopes for some help. kind of the last resort now.
have you run any RAM tests?
also what kind of audio device do you use? headphones, speakers? are they usb?
oh that you mentioned there
if you can try without the usb headset
@spark kiln
usb headsets have caused similar before that is
Yes tested the ram on full stress with prime95 and all is fine.
it's usually the software/drivers of USB which is causing it, although that mostly causes sound problems instead of crashes
haven't tried that. Will uninstall the steelseries device and unplug. Wait on feedback 🙂
usb headset seems to be the culprit
uninstalled & unplugged it. ran arma. perfect. no errors.
I don't freaking believe it.
blame Microsoft for not being able to handle USB...
So what's the fix? different usb port?
I mean power settings are already set so that USB ports do not power off.
it's not the device itself, it's the software/drivers
so you can use the headset without problems, as long as you don't use the Steelseries software
i'm gonna update the usb hub drivers. try a different port and reinstall the steelseries software. Thanks guys. really do appreciate it.
rip surround sound. I guess its a sacrifice and will haveto live with stereo... #buys 130euro 7.1 surround headset. can't hear spacial sound on arma because ... arma
that started happening after some win10 update quite some time ago
there was no update prior to the crash. this is what had me baffled.
The only change was our server being set from Fallujah map to CLA Clafghan.
that's when the crash first occured. and i don't see how this could affect it as CLA clafghan was already downloaded.
#Windows10Things
when in chat on discord it removes my arma 3 gun shot noise, i cant still head footsteps and other peoples guns shoot but if i quit discord, it them works.
Solution: Don't use Discord while playing.
Could be one of those windows voice attenuation things where it lowers other programs voices when you chat. Could try hanging those settings.
does anyone have a fix for a error saying "connection failed" but nothing else? I can join him but he cant join me
and yes other players can join me but just one of my friends cant, he use to be able to all the time
Sorry if this question gets asked a lot but at random moments when I try to connect to my friends server it automatically kicks me out, sometimes it will work, sometimes it won't, and I don't know the cause to this but it happens so much to the point where it gets really annoying, does anyone here know a potential fix for this?
I get no messages when it kicks me out
When I try to connect, my other friends see in the chat:
"(name) is connecting."
"(name) has connected."
"(name) disconnected."
This doesn't happen to just me, it happens randomly to pretty much anybody.
check your RPT files
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Crash_Files
my game doesn't crash
ok i opened it and im not sure what i'm looking for exactly
open the latest, scroll to the bottom, look for errors
stuff like "you can not play this mission ..." ect
i dont see anything related to that
upload a RPT file from when you could not connect to the server and upload it to www.pastebin.com
share the link here
i'll get to it later, we all managed to get in
hey, do I need to download/install anything extra to get RCON running on my Arma 3 server? The Wiki only has instructions for Arma 2 servers, not sure if I need anything additional for 3
I've gotten as far as creating the beserver.cfg/beserver_x64.cfg in /arma3/battleye/, but I can't verify that BE is actually running, the port I set in the config (2301) is shown as closed on nmap for both TCP and UDP, (Arma 3 ports (2302 - 2306) show as open, no firewall)
Some additional info that might perhaps be of help:
BattlEye = 1; in arma server config
RConPassword passwordRemoved
RConPort 2301
RConIP 0.0.0.0```in beserver.cfg
Edit: When a player disconnects, the server log says `23:04:47 BattlEye Server: Player #0 Emosewaj disconnected`, I'd assume that it *is* running then
for some reason when im a gunner in a vehicle, the mouse movement becomes a glitchy mess unless i have mouse smoothing on, the it does mega stutters
and sensitivity is almost 0
on arma 3
can provice footage of it in dm if you ask for it
when turning on mouse smoothing it seems to work fine but i dont want mouse smoothing so thats not a good solution
Is this a certain vehicle or any? @fringe salmon
would still like help with it btw, makes vehicles unplayable
So, I'm trying to play with my friends and I keep getting "Mission terminated because DLC content required" for contact, yet none of us own the DLC and he's restarted the map twice to make sure he didn't accidentally spawn a prop from it.
Already done the empty world thing, too
verified game cache, my problem still occuring
Hey so i am having a problem where i cant see my unit's server and i have tried everything from direct connect to port forwarding and nothing works anyone know how to fix this?
Whoever made the mission has put something froma DLC in the mission, or your playing on a DLC map.
@meager jay
oof
well he will be banned soon enough.
Perm banned
still got the problem after a full pc restart
What "map"?
if you mean me, all maps
wait..
actually..
it doesnt happen in tanoa but it does happen in virtual reality..
Ok it appears to be related to the framerate
on tanoa where i get arround 110 fps it doesnt happen but in virtual reality where i get arround 300 it happens
so i guess i gotta limit my fps in the nvidia controll panel then, Thanks FM, propably wouldnt have figured this out without you.
Hey so i am having a problem where i cant see my unit's server and i have tried everything from direct connect to port forwarding and nothing works anyone know how to fix this?
it literally in the steam server browser shows up as just the ip and port and says the server isnt responding if that helps
I'm gonna ask again, I have googled it and haven't found a single fix for this issue. its also posted by quite a few people on the forums as of late 2019 to early 2020 aswell. I have made a unit, but I can't get the unit patch to work no matter what. It is within the requirements of 512x512, 300kb size, and its a png. I even tried deleting the unit and remaking it. Didn't help, the weird thing is how I took a picture from an already existing unit that works fine, but that STILL wont display in-game on this unit. That makes no sense at all and I am going mad.
Unit logo displays fine on A3 Launcher, and in the top right corner of main menu. But won't display in-game on either uniforms or vehicles. However the unit clan tag displays fine, but thats it..
I've seen posts about it not being displayed on linux servers. And that isn't the issue here. I have tried on several windows servers, and hosting my own server. Doesn't work anywhere..
maybe try checking the image quality
that could be the issue
to high quality or too low quality
@jolly bay
Read again, I’ve tried an image I know works. Still doesn’t. I’ve tried several other images that are minimum 512x512 and up to about 800x800. Still nothing will show up in-game...
I’ve also tried contacting members on here with the Bohemia tag, no luck there either.
have you searched google
Yes
Might sound stupid, but did you test with vanilla uniforms/vehicles or modded?
Because not all uniforms/vehicles support unit logos.
And DM-ing BI employees is a bad idea... If they have an answer they will give it
Hey so i am having a problem where i cant see my unit's server and i have tried everything from direct connect to port forwarding and nothing works anyone know how to fix this?
it literally in the steam server browser shows up as just the ip and port and says the server isnt responding if that helps
@weary sky Yes ofc ive tried that. And yeah Its not something I wanted to do, but they havent answered a single person about this on the forums either. Im just very frustrated..
https://units.arma3.com/unit/473battery here is the unit and image in question
I see the problem 😉
Your tag is [4/73 Bty], which includes a slash
so when the image gets downloaded to the client or server, it ends up in a subdirectory which is then inaccessable
I believe just the tag (since that is used to create a working path)
Changed the tag to 473Bty
Gonna try now
Didn't work @weary sky
It shows up just fine in the launcher, and in the top right corner, and the tag shows up. But no image...
- do you test in SP or MP?
- can you validate if the tag shows up in
%appdata%/Local/arma 3/squadsand if there's a .paa file in there?
- MP I know it doesnt show in SP. I have tested 2 other units im in and they both show on local host MP.
- Yes its this - %appdata%/Local/Arma 3/Units/473Bty and there is a .paa image in there.
Is anyone having problems with ACE3? Every time we try to run a game on a private server we get the error "Ace_Medical_Menu.pbo" is out of date. I've ensured both the server and the clients are running the same version and I have updated everything.
Remove ACE3 completely and redownload. Because Steam Workshop API doesn't remove files which don't exist anymore, only create and update.
or manually remove the files which cause errors and verify the files

Can I active a race start moduel using a trigger

Hi guys, tell me, does the function to apply a texture to an object (from the window not via the command) work? Because although the texture is visible in the eden once on a server it is not visible anymore ? An idea ?
There is no such function afaik, only a scripting command, and wdym by
from the window not via the command
Which window?
so i have 2 problems but im start with the first one. when i go to launch arma 3, after initializing addons i get stuck at loading profile options, i can temporarily fix it by deleted documents ----> arma 3 - other profiles but next time i start up i have to do the samething
i have already reinstalled the game, that didn't fix it
(have i tried googling this? yes that past 2 days ive been working on this i have used google. google has failed me)
does it start without addons?
nope @uncut trellis
have you verified game installation integrity on steam?
hi, i am an arma player here and im having an issue,
When i go into zeus on a zeus master 48+ map i cannot spawn or place units or objects down even when the timer for create player respawns runs out.

Did you place the respawns? @void mortar

Hello, i have been playing Arma now for a long time. My brother just got the game and we wanted to play for our self on a mission i made.
The problem is that he cannot see my server pop up on the server list, so we tried on his computer, made a new mission etc. this worked it popped up but when i tried to join i got the message "Connection Failed" Note that this does only occurs on LAN servers
Hello, I'm running a server off of a box that I own using TCAdmin. While running the server, we have this issue where we can get on, play for about 10 minutes and then it'll crash. Typically this'll happen 2 or 3 times and then be solid but we still get the random restart. Below is the error portion of the log.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated as I have been unable to find any sort of solution online.
Hey I am setting up a server and I have it running but when we try and use mods it says pbo not found. I moved all the keys from the mods to the keys folder and it still is not working.

I have no idea, guess I'll check Arma 3's file integrity (via Steam)
@ashen socket use PMCwiki guides to set up Arma3 tools and P drive
You clearly have set them up wrong way.

@tender carbon I am still curious about your issue.
Could you try running Arma 3 with Administrator rights, and try?
Thanks for the help
TADST didn't publish my server(

hello ive downloaded the ace mod but this pops up in the chat "Warning: Ace requires ace_compat_rhs_afrf3 (compat_rhs_afrf3) at version[3,6,2,0] (or higher). You have none."
Pretty self explanatory, no? You're missing the compat mod for rhs afrf @spring oxide
and how do i get it :p.
thank you ill try that
You can always try google
i did
they told me to like download the mods from the offical site
official
idk how to spell xd
or just search in the Arma 3 workshop
for the search
arma 3 ace rhs afrf compat mod
the first result is
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=773131200
i searched "Warning: Ace requires ace_compat_rhs_afrf3 (compat_rhs_afrf3) at version[3,6,2,0] (or higher). You have none." but k
where did you download the ace mod from?
well if you used the correct release from Steam then it should be correct
i just dowloaded it from the link they sent me
whos they?
Pi, Rubinolas
yes
i have all whats needed but the error is still there
or they told me to download that workshop thing and it will be fixed
"I have all whats needed"
Meanwhile: Error message saying you don't have all thats needed
i have everything downloaded
subscribed from steam?
yes
downloaded != loaded
how do i load them then.. i have enabled them but wdym loaded
do you have other mods?

I want to add mods to Antistasi Altis but I get a message saying the server does not support the keys of the mods, now I haven’t had to deal with this before as I have another server for my arma unit. I have to take the Bi Keys and put them somewhere but I don’t know where to put them. Any ideas?
You gotta put them in the keys folder on the server @analog anchor
That’s what I thought but when I did that it still gave me the same message... maybe I did it wrong, thank you
welp
hm the ace compat was last updated on january first so might just not have been updated yet
and i have a message in the middle of the screen while in zeus
If I’m not using ace do I still need the compat files?
no?
and can't interract with stuff in zeus
If you dont use the ace mod you wont need compatability mods for ace @analog anchor
@analog anchor my questions were not for you this time.
thank
you
if you mean repairing the mods
idk what mods
about the zeus thing is the most annoying
it just shows a big message that says something about files and i can't do stuff in zeus
perhaps you have some other mod that breaks it
hmm
can't copy it but i can try
i'll just dissable all mods and use those what i need at the moment
see if that helps
You have objects as uneditable objects for zeus, if you drop a “add editable objects for zeus” module through zeus they will appear for you
you should always use only the mods you intend to use
not run all of them
thats just asking for trouble
xd
but
idk what to use i have so many and it just gets hard to pick the right ones
i have like 53 mods
for example i dunnot remember what mods i used for my scenario
i still can't move an unit/soldier in zeus or have i forgotten the key bind
@uncut trellis
now i can only move a group of units smh
no no
i fixed it
my dumbass was looking in the wrong section
mm zeus isn't that great
@spring oxide it seems you are just doing a bunch of thing that you have no idea how it works take it slower, learn the lesson horriblegoat taught me, dont start putting things together and hope it sticks, load essential mods to what you want to do first then gradually add any extra ones you want to use
if you cant decide what mods to use go to their steam workshop page 1 by 1 and see what each of them do then load the ones that sounds like youll need, i suggest try to avoid any compatability mods at first just in case they are the ones breaking your mission
👍 well said. It will likely take some trying to find a nice and stable selection
Dont know if i'm in the right chat but is someone able to help me with my Push-To-Talk options in Arma 3? I'm using the A3Launcher. Both Discord and A3 are in Administrator mode but push to talk still doesnt work in game
Sorry. I dont know which chat i post in for this issue
when i start up arma 3 it takes forever on the loading profile options screen but eventually it will get past that but when I go to join a server, whether im playing modded and joining a modded server or playing vanilla and joining a vanilla server i get connecting failed. i have reinstalled the game once and then a second time and deleting every file arma has on all my hard drives then installing it again. i have tried verifying files, messed around with the firewall. nothing i have done works so im coming here to hopefully get it fixed before op time 🙁
Try making new profile.
doesnt work @uncut trellis
it seems like the fix would be a less known one im guessing
Could be a broken mod.
@uncut trellis works with anyone else

Tbh, I have no idea what bug it is
I'm unsure how to check that, I think I do
then yes, you have space left
you could try reinstalling steam perhaps
over the old installation
it would keep all your files but if theres something that needs repairing it should fix that
How do you mean?
run steam installer, point it to install into the same place you have it installed now

How do I begin troubleshooting this issue
1: my players randomly encounter a blackscreen when trying to join my server, they cant join but they see the chat feed at the bottom left and can also type, Some people can join after repeated attempts and some can actually already be in the server when this bug happens
2. After that first issue happens a second one arises where after awhile it starts spawning players in the ocean,
3.Due to the rarity and randomness of bug i dont know how to reproduce it, i was told its most likely a mission/mod conflicting. But I dont know how to properly troubleshoot it for the server
Hello, I am currently having an issue with my game in which everytime I join a server or go into editor and get into either a helicopter or plane my game keeps crashing with the OxC0000005 error code. I do not know what to do as I have done a few of the steam guides as well as the general stuff said in the trouble shooting issue. I have reinstalled my game twice and verified game files who knows how many times. I do not know the source of the issue and have been running this in vanilla.
@crystal frost you use USB headset?
I have an Arctis Pro, I have the little box for it connected into my PC.
@uncut trellis
Try without that plugged in. ARMA3 + WIN10 + USB headset drivers is known to go kaput like that.
This is some sort of win10 issue. You can try if you can get updated drivers for your headset
Just try if it works if you have no headset in use
Just to see if it's related. Then you can start figuring out if you need to fix it.
I unplugged that an a charging cable for my mouse
I have another USB in for my mouse to work
Also, if it does keep crashing because of my headset then what. It is sorta the only audio I have.
Nevermind, the game works without my headset.
You can look up if there's updated drivers for it. Or @wise barn maybe had another suggestion he's given to this problem. But can't remember nor have time to search the chat for it.
I needed to update something on my headset
one moment, ill see if it happens with it plugged in now
Ok, with my headset plugged in it crashes.
win10 🦆ed up back at 2017 with the fall creators update. since then the numbers of users with USB audio issues (not just arma, but mostly) rose up. it is not confirmed, but according to my observation it is an issue with latest gen onboard realtek audio chips and USB audio devices (not just headsets, every USB device that produces / transmits sound).
- an option that worked all the time was to revert back to win8.1 (not recommended anymore -> support runs out)
- in some cases to roll back back to a pre-2017 update (not recommended -> security issues)
- removing all traces of realtek software and disabling the onboard soundcard in the bios sometimes worked. in most cases it didn't
i am using the analog output of my external firewire card (firewire seem to have no issues) and hooked it up to a low latency bluetooth transmitter (no microphone). as a mic i use an external that is wired to my firewire card
Hm, so because I do not wish to have the issues on the stuff you said above, what exactly should I do with a headset? I can possibly hook it up to my headphone jack or use a USB again yet as stated above it causes issues.
as soon as the audio is transmitted via USB, you are 🦆ed
regular audio jack on your onboard soundcard works
you can get a bluetooth transmitter that is hooked up to your audio jack
but keep in mind, your headset mic will not work anymore
you then need an alternative
like an wireless antlion audio modmic
or a desk mic
my headset mic works
I have it connected up to an audio jack plus its built in
Also, thank you audio.
@uncut trellis eden works fine ii can see if anything else works or if i can even host a server
yah do that
but also make sure youre not running any mods for now
so that its clean test
but last time i tried nothing vanilla worked either
well vanilla is the starting point anyway
to make sure no mod causes it to go poop
is your arma installed on external drive?
nope its on one of my 500 gigs
HDD or SSD?
just link here if you have pictures
yep thats the way
so what am I looking at?
well thats what happens when i try to host a server. im guessing it ties into whatever is happening with my arma
does it ever load further?
nope just sits there
but SP works?
also singleplayer works
so it could be your firewall or something like that blocking network access
nope tried that already XD
i also tried a different network (my hotspot) and that didnt work
well at least i mean arma 3 already has public and private access on the firewall
you could check the RPT log files if theres anything error or warning looking there
where is that again ive been there b4 but i forgot where it was
btw servers get no errors either
%localappdata%/Arma 3
hold up imma restart arma
@uncut trellis theres no rpt files for me to give you from today
Make sure you don't have the no logging parameter enabled in the launcher
@uncut trellis how would i upload the rpt file?
post the content on https://pastebin.com/ or similar
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
No idea what causes it but that malformed data spam that you got there is definitely the reason it does not work.
Yo guys, i have a question.
When i load up my mission and select a slot, it loads up and then kicks me out into a like "Headhunter" Base vanilla game stuff
The Server console says that:
16:38:22 [CBA] (disposable) WARNING: Sum of mass of launcher CUP_launch_M72A6_Loaded and mass of magazine CUP_M72A6_M (57.3+50=107.3) is different from mass of loaded launcher CUP_launch_M72A6 (57.3). x\cba\addons\disposable\XEH_preInit.sqf:65

Does anyone know what helps or.. like yeah?
those are not the log lines you are looking for
Any hint or like idea where i should look to?
probably missing addons
Well i have CUP, CBA and all that loaded 🤔
Those are just CBA warnings for the new one-shot launchers... will not cause the issues you are having.
Everyone running CBA/CUP has those warnings at this time
But ... what...?
can i send you the complete server-issue stuff?
Just bc it is like a big file and i cant send it here
Upload it to pastebin and post a link to it
to where?
according to the log all is fine
Nah that is the serverlog
Do you want those 50 million lines of code? xDD
For the Clientlog?
you can skip the repeating spam
And restart ARMA first and attempt to connect once which will minimize the length of the client log since there is only one log file for each time ARMA runs
I can't see anything wrong in there either
is your ACRE up-to-date?
There is a misconfig somewhere cause you have 18:58:33 Starting mission: 18:58:33 Mission file: ATS_StrangerV3 (__CUR_MP) 18:58:33 Mission world: Chernarus_2035 18:58:33 Mission directory: mpmissions\__CUR_MP.Chernarus_2035\followed by 18:59:33 Starting mission: 18:59:33 Mission file: introExp 18:59:33 Mission world: Stratis 18:59:33 Mission directory: a3\map_stratis_scenes_f\scenes\introExp.Stratis\
These ain't good either 18:54:52 Skipping mods and signatures due to overflow flag being set.
So i am very sorry bc i am big dumb dumb, but so if i get this right the server doesnt load up ATS_StrangerV3?
I looked around and i still have 0 idea what i should do now.. :/
Since other mods/Missions/maps load perfectly without a problem
your server has chernarus 2035 mod loaded right?
you wrote above you have cup, cba "and all that"
what is at all that? Are you sure you're not actually missing a mod?
Yeah the server has cherno loaded.
This is my setting for the server
