Good way to prevent tags: use discord markdowns

@uncut trellis ye bohemia responded to the email i sent on friday today and they suggested deleting arma 3 then scanning and fixing the registry using ccleaner then reinstalling it. sadly it didnt work so im waiting for another fix. we gonna take this arma 3 down whether it likes it or not XD
btw they gave me other steps which i followed but just didnt bother putting them in for your sake XD
it actually messed up one of my integrated wireless adapters but i only use it when playing rocket league since it gets better ping than my other one XD but its an easy-ish fix anyways. kinda expected it to
uncut trellis
odd problems

anyone know where i can ask questions about troublshooting a modded arma 3 server when its not starting?
broken siren
Yo so nobody can help me with that issue now? :/
broken siren
You csn scroll a Bit up, there is Everything stated
Cant type it on my phone rn
fringe salmon
Didn't Grahame find the issue?
broken siren
I mean... I dunno? But what am i Suppost so do now?
My mates and me cant find any errors or issues...
It just doesnt work
fringe salmon
Make a 2nd mission with just the map and upload it to the server and see if it works and try to play it on the server
If it works load half the other mods on the server. If it still works load the rest
If it dosnt work then you mostly likely have a mod issue
If everything works properly theres something wrong with your mission.sqm on the other mission
broken siren
For that new mission, also with the framework i have in? Or just the sqm?
fringe salmon
Just the sqm first
Basically add things slowly untill you break it
Then once you find whats breaking it
Remove it
broken siren
Okay... well thats the thing:
We tested and tried a lot of fixing and we elminated some issues related to Cup Interiors and Ravage CUP but other than that the mission itself shouldnt make problems. Same with the scripts
Bc we use those scripts, the whole framework for other missions too and they work without any problem
fringe salmon
Sometimes the mission itself conflicts with the mod
fringe salmon
hello ! I have had this glitch for awhile , anyone know how to fix ? I have a amd radeon sapphire rx570 gpu . some say to reinstall drivers and some say disable ATOC. anyone else come across this before ?
wont let me add image ? ...... the glitch is where trees and bushes have a blueish/white fuzz over them
broken siren
@fringe salmon
Another questions, what exactly do you mean with "load half the mods"?
I will load in with all my mods for that OP, create a simple mission on that map (i.e. place like 4 dudes to play with) and save that?
Or how?
loud hemlock
my server wont go past the mission lobby it gets stuck on a loading screen

@loud hemlock are you playing with mods?

swop has a bug where you will get an infinite loading screen, use to happen on my units server. endLoadingScreen was to command to get it to work but my guess is that your playing singleplayer
hearty hearth
ahh kk so can anyone get into it?
loud hemlock
im on it but im just staring at a loading screen and its stuck server cpu went to 0% and its not doing anything ]
hearty hearth
there is a file that you put into your mission file somewheres that removes that bug ill see if i can find it.
hearty hearth
^fixed btw
hearty hearth
@uncut trellis i think i got so more to add to the problem im having. so i had 2 games up at one and when i connected to an arma server i found that i lost connection on the other game and i tested a few more times and every time i connected to a server on arma and got connecting failed i would lose connection to the server i was already in on a different game (minecraft btw)
uncut trellis
possibly something wrong with your internet connection then
hearty hearth
i was thinking that to but then if it was a connection with my internet, i wouldve been able to connect to the server using my hotspot. what im thinking is something with my pc or windows settings cuts the connection when i connect to an arma server
hearty hearth
@uncut trellis it seems not even bohemia can figure it out XD. their fixes they send me once a day does not work XD
hearty hearth
@uncut trellis fixed arma 3 with a system restore tho i unplugged my hard drives other than my os ssd so that didnt get wiped either XD

uncut trellis
perhaps you have to provide a picture of what you mean @fringe salmon
fringe salmon
thanks for trying to help man, but i cant really take a picture of it because as i move forward the grass starts flickering and popping in. could i send you a video to show you ?
@uncut trellis
uncut trellis
you can link the video here
however it does sound like the normal behavior of how clutter is drawn
fringe salmon
its a one drive clip, but if you dont want to risk clicking on it pretty much the grass is rendering like 5 to 10 feet in front of me, or in metric i think thats like 1.2 meters to like 2.9 meters or something . To me it looks like the terrain is rendering to close and its very immersion breaking.
@uncut trellis
uncut trellis
ummm
you are on hill
and the grass is that close to you
thats how its supposed to look
you dont walk on hill like this
and occasionally you zoom in to it as well
tall grass gets on your face in reality too
@fringe salmon
fringe salmon
but it also does that flickering on flat ground too, with the pop in of little patches of grass
uncut trellis
im not sure what you mean
can you pinpoint a timestamp where that happens?
the video quality drops quite a bit so its hard to see much
but I cant really spot any flickering

could be the parallax effect since that does not show for very far
¯_(ツ)_/¯

Could be that the user isnt used to the parallax effect too
fringe salmon
whats that ?
wise barn
what issue?
@cinder river
does it happen with the vanilla game?
guess not
no issue then
wise barn
retry with no mods loaded (vanilla)
also no mission framework
no scenario... pure vanilla.
go to the editor, place a heli and try
missions can interfere with that

perhaps synchronization issue. Have you made a bug tracker ticker?

supple crystal
I don't see what's wrong..
Are you talking about the ground clutter (aka the little bushes, sticks etc covering the ground)?
@fringe salmon ^^
fringe salmon
yeah, its supposed to look like that ?
supple crystal
It only spawns in a smallish circle around you (the size of which i think is set by the map maker), it would cause to much of a performance drop otherwise to make it very large, especially for complicated clutter.
Some map makers do a very great job of disguising it like bludclot and temppa
fringe salmon
thanks i thought i was the only one experiencing it
supple crystal
after a few thousand hours you stop noticing it as well 😉

yeh thats normal.

Why does my game constantly become 'not responding' when launching it? I have to launch it a couple of times for it to work normally.
supple crystal
CPU/RAM at 100% usage probably, try closing background programs like chrome, I get it with big modsets, usually if you don't touch anything and just leave it will come back to life, but if you click or anything it will CTD.

where can i find that?

Steam workshop mod folder changelog. Alternatively when arma is running in extentions settings
buoyant patrol
sweet thanks one more question. so last year his game would sit in the loading screen for hours on end and would never join in... ever heard a fix for the incase it decides to do it again??
buoyant patrol
the one that goes full screen just before joining the game
not the tiny one right after hitting the server
quaint jewel
After selecting slot
before the map screen that comes up shortly after?
there are 2 loading screens after you select slot and join in.
Is it the first or second one
can you hear ingame sounds?
quaint jewel
you are running mods right?
its a broken mod, or a broken script in the mission
mods that are famous for that are MCC sandbox, Voyager compass
there are surely many more that are also broken
buoyant patrol
yeah i am. so basically even though he wiped his whole system and restarted he could still have bad mods?
i could*

If you download and activate the same mods again, yes

ok ill keep my eyes on that.

Anyone point me in the correct direction, Struggling with a version mismatch from ace, both client and server are running the exact same mods. I joined the server initialy, got the error, then continued to the game without issue, its only after leaving and coming back that I myself have been unable to get back into the game, any ideas?

Please help me I cannot stand this anymore!!! Every time I receive an update for workshop content after the download finishes it says "Update Cancelled" and takes up the space anyway, I don't know how many mods it has done this with but I have noticed my available space going down, please help!
spark mica
Unsubscribe from all workshop content, then re-download? - After unsubscribing allow a while for the mods to be uninstalled, similar to uninstalling a game this can take a short time depending on the speed of your hard disk
fringe salmon
No, it is just another update to one of the mods, about 86MB, it does this for every mod for some reason
spark mica
Maybe its keeping old versions downlaoded somwhere? I belive steam/steamapps/common/workshop is where all that stuff is kept, in a random assortment of folder names
fringe salmon
every mod update at least, if I have the launcher open when first subscribing and downloading a mod that seems to do it, but the part I don't get is it taking up space but cancelling, how do I remove this trash? Or at least make it work
Lemme send my workshop log

Firstly, read our #rules (Particularly the bit that prohibits profanity) then edit your posts.

Very, very sorry, but I cannot stand it anymore, it is literally eating away at my brain until i'll either smash my computer or my monitor, horrible issue
fringe salmon
FM would you happen to have some knowledge about this?
desert isle
Tetlys answer is correct and it solved a similar issue I had.
Patience is the key. Unsubscribe to everything, allow time for it all to be removed, then manually check to see if its been removed. Personally, whether it actually helps or not i don't know, but I shut steam down, then reboot my PC. Then I restart Steam. If everything looks ok, I re-subscribe one mod at a time.

@rocky ore
a) @'ing BI staff and other roles for tech support is against the rules.

I already asked you what exactly doesn't work and what you mean by that, you couldn't answer me with any useful info. So if you don't want to help people trying to help you, don't expect help yourself.

And who cane i it change it via launcher settings
supple crystal
you change between 32 & 64 bit in the Arma 3 launchers settings.
quaint jewel
he says that I need 64 bit version
who says? The Launcher doesn't check that or restrict it. Arma 32bit you can also run just fine on a 64bit machine.
supple crystal
misuse of pronouns Ded he meant object pronoun "it" 😉
I cant remember if servers warn you if you try to join a 64bit server running 32bit.
Its either that ^ or his PC is 32bit and he's launching in 64bit.
quaint jewel
Still, what is "it"
supple crystal
Arma, im guessing
quaint jewel
I cant remember if servers warn you if you try to join a 64bit server running 32bit.
no.
his PC is 32bit and he's launching in 64bit.
but then it wouldn't tell him that he needs 64bit...
Please explain in detail whats wrong, multiple sentences please.

So I have an issue, I have ARMA3 installed to my PC still but steam does not show that it is installed. I was playing it the day before and then when I boot up my PC and check again it is still asking to install ARMA even though I can manually open the launcher and play.

windows 10 has problems with usb headsets and Arma has problems with that problem. Unplug the headphones and see if that works any different

Thanks @uncut trellis it was cause of my headset so does that mean i need to buy a new one ?

That I dont know, sometimes the headset driver update has helped for example
you can search this discord for earlier troubleshooting of the same problem. something like "usb headset" on the search field should bring up stuff

load all mods except liberation that you mentioned earlier

Been trying to get my joystick working for flying in arma 2, and for some reason I can't get the joystick to act like a joystick.
It behaves more like a deadzone then a solid keyboard press when I use it instead of a joystick with a deadzone and fluid 1%-100% gradient in my turns. It's really hard to describe, which is why google probably isn't pulling anything up. Any ideas?
(I think the correct term for what I'm wanting out of my joystick is analog, but I could be wrong.)
quaint jewel
It behaves like a 1/0 button, so digital. Instead of expected analog
I assume its what you want to say
does it work right in the windows joystick thingy tool

That's exactly what I want to say and now I feel dumb for not saying it like that. Lmao.
Yeah, in windows controller setup it behaves perfectly. The deadzone is perfect, no drift but still very sensitive and i can perfectly control how far I turn it(like analog), but ingame it's that 1/0 stuff.

Hi, I have an issue with my Arma 3, basically everytime I try to join a game I lose connectivity after like 5 minutes of playing. I tried pretty much everything, from uninstalling/ reinstalling and port forwarding the game ports. Anyone know how to fix this?
uncut trellis
Check if the RPT log tells you anything at the time of disconnect. Also are you using mods and what kind of servers have you tried?
tropic zenith
I've had the same issue when I was on wifi, or connecting using a connection coming from the router (with built in access point) going wirelessly to a wifi repeater and then running an ethernet cable from the wifi repeater to my pc. Might try using pure ethernet if you're on wifi.

So my power surged and when I opened my Arma 3 I found that steam is trying to reinstall all 150+ of my mods that are already there
They all have the little orange update symbol next to the name, can someone please help me to fix this? I've done multiple reinstalls of the game and steam and all it's gotten me was all of my games uninstalled and back to square 1 with the mod issue still persisting

Is it still impossible to host genuine LAN servers without something like Hamachi?
Every time I host one, the server both
-
Doesn’t appear in ‘LAN’, nor appears in ‘Friends’.
-
When trying to Direct Connect, it acts as if the server isn’t there.
I believe I am doing everything correctly already, because I can host LAN servers for siblings/friends on a lot of different games, however this particular game seems to be giving us grief.
Is this a problem with improper port forwarding? (And why would that be necessary for a LAN game?)
Is it a problem of something with my ISP?
Any help is appreciated. I’m not sure about using Hamachi for LAN on this singular game, so if there’s an ‘actual fix’ I’d prefer that!
( please @.mention me, with a serious answer :p )
I’m also trying to host this on a local network. Same room, same house, same WiFi connection.
quaint jewel
its not still impossible and afaik it never was impossible
make sure your hamachi network adapter is in top under the windows network adapter priority thing
devout mural
@quaint jewel The point is I’m not using Hamachi
quaint jewel
OH
devout mural
Don’t have it installed, never needed it elsewhere.
For some reason, hosting LAN on ARMA3 is ouch

I use lan servers at home with my laptop as client, never had problems
make sure windows firewall is configured or disabled

Any list of common problems to check for?
I’ll triple check that, may have changed during a windows update or something

Just a few months ago it worked perfectly fine.
But now when I try to host a server for me and my friends to play on they say its not found. When they try to join me off friends list it says im not playing even tho I am.

you need open and port forward then those https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Dedicated_Server#Port_Forwarding

You need to open a port and the forward it? Is that what you meant?

So what port should I use? I don't know a lot about internet and stuff.

So my taskbar is on the left hand side of the screen instead of the typicall bottom, for a while I didn't run arma as fullscreen windowed because it'd either be under the taskbar or the entire window would shift the width of the taskbar to the right. I somehow fixed that a while ago, no clue how. Just now I was messing with some video settings (nothing related to the window, brigthness, view distance, etc) and it suddenly shifted to the right again. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hello everyone... I encountered a minor problem which I also have found a way to kind of solve it. I wanted to report it though and see if there is a more... Official solution to it or it is some kind of bug that can be solved in a future update or something and also I wanted to see if anyone else around here had it before me. Here it is:
Every time that I change the logo of my unit on ArmA3/Units (online) it stops to show up on local host (at least... not in a unit these days to check it on a dedicated server) on my shoulder patch (even in vanilla suits that support it). I tried to restart, refresh, change a unit, then get it back etc. The only thing that solved it is to log in an official server. From the moment that I log in the patch starts to be on my shoulder patch again! Any ideas why and if I do something wrong here? Cheers. I hope that all your problems will be solved guys. Cheers!

@opaque rover pretty sure a3 units only work on servers and not SP
We already know it shows up on official servers, so it should definetly work on dedis, Id say Try hosting MP from eden and see if it shows up

@fringe salmon thank you for the reply mate. Maybe I wasn't really clear. But the thing is that after I change the patch to see it again, I have to connect to a server, otherwise it won't so up on local host not SP.

So in relation to this comment from me from earlier: https://discordapp.com/channels/105462288051380224/141866231362879488/690310432489209908
I'm now using these params in my arma3.cfg file:

winDefHeight=768;
fullScreenWidth=1366;
fullScreenHeight=768;
refresh=30;
renderWidth=1366;
renderHeight=768;
And this kinda works. It's just if I open the video settings and close them the window will shift right again, meaning that part of the window falls off of the screen again

Ah, its from Arma launcher
well you won't find the answer to a Arma launcher problem in your Arma game configs, or in your battleye installation
You said from the start on that it says you declined the license, but thats wrong
its asking you to accept the license, and the button for that is in the bottom right
Click that button
can't you just drag that window up, by the title bar. So you can properly see the buttons?
fervent whale
so i click accept right?
quaint jewel
well if you want to accept that license agreement, then you can click accept

i should? because i need BE to play the game right?

noone forces you
if you don't like that license or don't want to accept it, then you don't have to, just can't play with battleye then

I have an issue with a server setup.
I've set the command line to use -autoInit and the config has persistent = 1; set, however the mission never loads on launch and when all users disconnect the mission reloads.
Anyone able to help me troubleshoot as i'm not entirely sure how to figure out what's going wrong.
quaint jewel
u sure that config is actually loaded by the server?
paper monolith
Uh this is the command line:
"-config=S:\servers\arma3\serverfiles\profiles\24_7\config.cfg"
This is the location of the file:
S:\servers\arma3\serverfiles\profiles\24_7\config.cfg
So yeah, it loads everything else correctly. The mission does load when a player connects. I added a MOTD message to confirm its using that config and it is.
It's like the autoInit or persistent or both just isn't applying.
paper monolith
Update: Changing mission files doesn't effect it.

Hi, me and my friends are trying to set up a dedicated server and we're having trouble with mod load order. Is there some sort of program that helps sort and set a load order automatically?

Mod load order shouldn't matter at all if you use properly made mods
Allt he modders that know what they are doing know how to properly configure their requiredAddons

My friend has been copying the mods he has downloaded from the workshop to the dedicated server via ftp (we have been using a 3rd party server)
would that cause a problem?
quaint jewel
No? Yes? Kinda but not really
You have a folder full of broken mods, you copy that folder, now you load all mods inside the copy.
Did the copying cause the problem? Well, the problem was already there from the start so.. it didn't really cause it, but without doing the copying the copy wouldn't have broken mods inside, so yes it kinda caused it. But on the other hand not at all really.
wheat breach
Broken mods? But they work fine as a client and when i host non-dedicated?

And what does ingame chat say while user tries to join, and what does server chat say
@quaint jewel Battleeye server: Player Banned
that's all. Same text sees the player
quaint jewel
I mean what other players see in chat
last time I had that problem, I saw in chat when someone else tried to join "player banned due to kick timeout - 93 seconds left"
astral sky
nope, just "banned" message https://sun1-95.userapi.com/US1gzEzkM2NO7GMt8N1ad-CJbtwiQzdmEGVTrQ/meKZ8wAYDL4.jpg

Sooo, I added a new profile in arma, and when i went back to my previous Profile which is my main, all my loadouts, missions, progress reseted, not for the first time but for the 5th. Any help?
I am quite pissed off
like excuse me but wtf
uncut trellis
make backups of your profiles if this keeps happening
or dont constantly switch profiles
fringe salmon
i had a backup
and this is the first time in a while that i switched
but poof
everything vanished
Ffs am tired of this bs, instead of fixing things BI gave us Aliens
uncut trellis
have you made a bug tracker ticker about this?
and verified reproducable steps to make it happen?

hello. i some how cant load any savegames anymore, i have lots of mods and it all worked well. maybe some one has a hint where i have to start my search. i deleted physical all savegames, restarted arma without mods, save load works then. but not with my mods. the GM campain for example throws this error if i load a save. no entry 'gm\gm_missions\gm_campaign_01\description.ext/campaign/missions/gm_campaign_mission_01.continue'
now ace and cba are known to cause that
but i cant play without both, and the reports where quite old too
last palm
it happens also with a fresh profile
the file continue.Arma3Save is there, it has about 30mb. \Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\bleh\Saved\gm\gm_missions\gm_campaign_01\continue.Arma3Save
quaint jewel
@gritty zinc might know more ^
last palm
well that is fresh written at least. \Saved\gm\gm_missions\gm_campaign_01\save.Arma3Save
should one have different profiles for different mod combinations?
quaint jewel
I'd say no
last palm
ok. i can save load a continue.Arma3Save from a non-modded instance in my moded instance. but there the mods are not working.
quaint jewel
I don't know why it wants to see that descriptipn.ext config entry 🤔
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Campaign_Description.ext#Missions there is no continue here 🤔

hi guys, hoping anyone can help, I convinced my friend to reinstall Arma 3, but he keeps getting "0xC0000005 - ACCESS_VIOLATION" and wont start. Tried everything, memory allocators, security rights on folder etc, even just reinstalled windows and still happening. Has anyone got any ideas?
last palm
ok. a autosave gets loaded, but you cant move, and there is no hud
@open grove does he have default settings for cpu detection
try this start parameter -malloc=system
if this doesn't help, set the amount of cores manually
make sure all drivers are latest
maybe don't use windows update for that
quaint jewel
If nothing helps, get me the .mdmp from the crash and I'll look
uncut solar
got a problem with my sound in first person keeps fading out when im still
last palm
@uncut solar is it slow, volume wise?
uncut solar
yeah fades for about 5 seconds to nothign
all sound fades out in first or third person but gunshots arnt loud in first person at all
last palm
well at least to a very silent volume this can be explainable. there is this kind of auto ducking if you use your voice mic, it reduces all other volumes of applications.
this isn't for all games the case some how, so its confusing.

@uncut solar I recommend you change your name on this Discord as it violates our rules.
round stirrup
why isnt 3rd person working?
quaint jewel
might be disabled based on difficulty settings
round stirrup
the server difficulty is set to normal
quaint jewel
Maybe they use a modified one where it's already disabled on normal
desert isle
Still doesn't mean they haven't changed it since
round stirrup
I asked for help in the mod's server and they said to check difficulty and that's it
they didn't say it had changed
and they re-directed me here
apparently it is something about the difficulty settings but I don't know which settings
It doesnt even work in vanilla singleplayer
uncut trellis
can you find the difficulty menu in the game options? https://community.bistudio.com/wikidata/images/thumb/0/0f/20170725165627_1.jpg/800px-20170725165627_1.jpg
there should be a setting for 3rd person. what does it say for you?
round stirrup
let me check
I can't change it in-game @uncut trellis
what is 3rd person called in the normal control settings?
uncut trellis
probably this assumin wiki is accurate
round stirrup
it isnt in the camera settings for some reason
I think I am just going to re-install the game
see if that works
round stirrup
I am talking about the control settings @uncut trellis
round stirrup
all good
round stirrup
thanks
it was un-selected in the difficulty settings for some reason
thanks for your help @uncut trellis
for some reason though there is no crosshair now
uncut trellis
perhaps you changed some other setting now

Windows 10 combined with USB (ie non-3.5mm jack) Headsets have issues with Arma. Also, don't expect 7.1 sound.
weary sky
it's not an issue with USB headsets... it's an issue of USB headset software and anything more than stereo output.
desert isle
Since day 1 there has been an issue with USB headsets, windows 10 and Arma.
Day 1 since Windows 10 I should say.
fringe salmon
So is there a way to avoid this issue
wise barn
Since day 1 there has been an issue with USB headsets, windows 10 and Arma.
No, it was the creators update from 2017 that intruduced this issue across many using USB audio devices in general. Not just headsets. I could pin it down to some issue with Realtek onboard sound chips

windowed fulscreen migth be better and stabler especially if you alt tab out of the game often
silk yoke
Yeah but its not stretching right in windowed
I think if I can delete my profile video settings? I have not played since I got the new card
I think they might be part of the problem
I deleted then arma3 config and changed the memory allocator to system and that fixed it

Hello! I'm trying to find a fix for spawning on the U.S.S Freedom/Liberty. When I go to spawn onto the ship(s) it always brings me into the ship, and I haven't found anyway to fix this. Any tutorial via reddit/youtube are based on the old mission maker, so I was curious if anyone knew a more updated version.
