#

Yep you do

ornate bison
#

Ok thanks Iโ€™ll give it a try when Iโ€™m home

keen sage
ornate bison
#

@grim tinsel @quaint jewel THANK YOU SO MUCH IT FINALLY WORKED

grim tinsel
#

@keen sage have you checked if you have to host it through a locally hosted server?

keen sage
#

What do you mean?

#

Like it's multiplayer?

grim tinsel
#

Ye

keen sage
#

Oof, I found it when trying to create a LAN game

#

Is there any way to port that to single player?

#

Also, none of the factions are showing up (in the Lobby screen)

grim tinsel
#

theoretically you can port it, but the mission may depend on being played through the MP server

#

and if the factions arent showing up you're missing mods most likely

#

check your rpt log

keen sage
#

How do I do any of that (I'm super new to modded missions, but they seem really amazing)

grim tinsel
#

rpt -> google

keen sage
#

But there was no crash, the factions just didn't show up

grim tinsel
#

rpt should be generated anyways

keen sage
#

Would it still show errors?

grim tinsel
#

yep

#

The factions arent being shown because of an error so

keen sage
#

Ok, cool, I'll try that, thanks!

grim tinsel
#

if you need help just pastebin the rpt log and post the link here

keen sage
#

Will do, thanks for your help @grim tinsel

grim tinsel
#

Happy to help bongocat

pure gale
#

Periodically I'm getting these crashes: 0xC0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION while I'm playing. Does anyone know the cause of this? I verified the game files just this morning, and my squadmates don't seem to be suffering from the same issue

quaint jewel
#

The cause of it is: "The game crashed for some reason"

#

Impossible to say anything more detailed with the info you posted

#

need the mdmp file from that crash

#

next to where the RPT file is

pure gale
#

Ah

#

Let me see

#

@quaint jewel the mpStatistics file

#

?

quaint jewel
#

no

#

arma3_x64<date>.mdmp

pure gale
#

I don't think any generated?

#

Nothing in the launcher folder either

keen sage
#

@grim tinsel

quaint jewel
#

yeah no mdmp generated then

pure gale
#

oeuf

quaint jewel
#

but I need that to see why it crashed

pure gale
#

I see

#

Is there anyway to force it to generate

#

or did I have to export a log manually?

keen sage
#

Basically it's loading into the lobby, I pick my role, I click play, and then it loads the mission. It gets to the point where it's showing the map, and then it once I click play, it just loads to about 90% (green bar at the top), and then it stops

quaint jewel
#

It should already. Don't know why it wouldn't

keen sage
#

It never actually crashes, it just doesn't load

pure gale
#

Strange thing is that I don't have a single mdmp

keen sage
#

Like, I hear game audio (troops giving orders, etc)

pure gale
#

not even ones from previous crashes

forest ember
#

can someone help

#

every single mod is updating...

#

and i've got like 150+ mods

#

no

#

i just logged in

#

opened up arma and suddenly everything is updating

#

so i logged out before something bad happens

keen sage
#

Yikes, that's annoying

forest ember
#

do i seriously have to download them all again

keen sage
#

@grim tinsel @quaint jewel Could you take a look at this rpt file?

quaint jewel
#

You already posted that above didn't you?

#

and you already pinged Pi

#

so why ping me now and Pi again?

#

Or do you just want to be annoying?

grim tinsel
#

Already looking at it, no need to ping again blep

quaint jewel
#

No i cannot take a look at it I'm working on more important problems

forest ember
#

not to worry about my problem. fix: restart pc

ornate bison
#

@grim tinsel Ok I put my private key and public key on the keys folder but I realized I can load into the server with other mods which are not signed by the server?

#

So they ainโ€™t signed?

#

verifySignatures = 2; is on

willow furnace
#

hey everyone. I have a question, and that is: Why does my IFA3 and IFA3_LITE not work? It cancels my arma 3 startup or no reason.

quaint jewel
#

@willow furnace there certainly is a reason.
No error messages? Nothing in your rpt?

willow furnace
#

It pops up with a small windows error screen and says something like "Could not not find" so and so

#

i can reinstall it and tell you the exact log

#

and its only the AIO_LITE version too

#

all the others work

#

@quaint jewel im reinstalling ifa3 and ill see what it says on startup

quaint jewel
#

So.
You say for no reason.
But now you tell me there is a reason, that it tells you in a error message that you've just ignored?

willow furnace
#

i cant access a log or anything

quaint jewel
#

In everything IT related, just give all the details that you have from the start, that saves people from having to ask about it and wasting time

willow furnace
#

it just cancels the launch after the message

maiden grove
#

how do i turn objects into Virtual Arsenals in the eden editor

viscid sun
#

Does anyone know why the modpack I was added as a contributor to wont show up in the publisher tool

uncut trellis
#

Got a link? @viscid sun

quaint jewel
#

because thats not how steam workshop works

#

only the author can update

#

yes.. I know.. its stupid

#

Actually.. I think that is the case? or is it a publisher limitation? @cunning sierra should know?

cunning sierra
#

only the author can yeah

#

AFAIK

viscid sun
#

ok. Thats what I was starting to think, but he was confident that I would be able to

quaint jewel
#

Maybe thats a thing that should be tested

cunning sierra
#

I can try ๐Ÿ˜›

quaint jewel
#

If it does actually work, maybe i can update publisher

cunning sierra
#

fails using steamworks

#

so won't work for publisher

#

I could try steamcmd as well but I don't think it will make a difference

viscid sun
#

That kinda sucks. The owner of the pack doesnt want to be involved with the project that much, and I dont want to have to bother him that much

#

I might just have to reupload and hope no one gets too angry

cunning sierra
#

yes, its a very annoying limitation of steam workshop

quaint jewel
#

thanks

#

I have the exact same problem with TFAR ๐Ÿ˜„

cunning sierra
#

leave 0.9, make a great new 1.0 non beta ๐Ÿ˜‰

viscid sun
#

Maybe if I throw a 1.0, or 2.0 then no one will notice

uncut trellis
#

Assuming the mod pack is legit to begin with.

vestal yacht
#

Is anyone else having an issue with RHS SAF that you cannot move the units in zeus, it says insufficient resources, but you can move vanilla units just fine?

vestal yacht
#

For anyone interested: this issue is solved by using the classnames of the units from SAF in the independant tab of the editor instead of the opfor tab. For some reason the _o_ in their classnames somehow breaks something making them imovable and undeletable in zeus

grim tinsel
#

hm odd, the thing with the resources is usually caused by stuff now being set up for zeus

#

@vestal yacht Can you check if theres a ticket for that on the rhs feedback tracker and if there isnt create one? Sound like a pretty big problem

vestal yacht
#

there wasn't, I'll add one later today or tomorrow

grim tinsel
#

Thanks

green escarp
#

Not sure if this is the right place or not, but alas; My monitor is 60 hz & yet when i play A3 in fullscreen w/ vsync it runs at 75 fps. Yet in fullscreen windowed its at the 60 it should. Anyone know why or how to fix it? (I know its a non issue but still)

chrome igloo
#

does it work still at 75hz?

green escarp
#

monitor isnt 75hz nor has the option. But the game is somewhat laggy when at the 75.

chrome igloo
#

well ya just found out it does support it. as for not allowing it gonna be on your GPU/windblows display settings as something is allowing it.

#

I'd start at gpu drivers/settings.

acoustic gyro
#

Is anyone having issues seeing there units on the launcher dashboard or website/

#

?

grim tinsel
#

The units website has been having some problems recently

acoustic gyro
#

Gotcha thanks

Hey Iโ€™m having an issue trying to load into my server. I have a video and picture of the problem however I just canโ€™t post it in the channel. I will dm it if anyone is able to help

wise barn
#

use any video hoster like youtube and post the link here

trim olive
#

I can't play any scenarios I make. When I go to click play scenario when I'm done it does nothing, no error, no nothing, it's just like clicking a button that does nothing.
I have a screenshot of a simple battle scenario I wanted to do if anyone would be interested in seeing it and maybe knows the problem.

grim tinsel
#

@trim olive No crossposting ( #rules ), only post your problem in one channel please

wise barn
#

you need to select one unit as player afaik

trim olive
#

Sorry, I thought it would be better in troubleshooting, i'll deletei t from editor_arma3

grim tinsel
#

Also that looks like SWOP stuff blep

trim olive
#

Yes it is, i've tried it with and without mods and reinstalled it, I can't play it

#

also what do you mean audiocustoms, i'm pretty new to scenarios

wise barn
#

as i said, iirc one unit must be set as player, not just playable

grim tinsel
#

theres a unit set as player

trim olive
#

the clone trooper sergeant is

wise barn
#

oh no... star wars mods...?

grim tinsel
#

Ye

trim olive
#

yes, i'm just testing with them

wise barn
#

no joy for you. discussion and distribution of all star wars related mods are banned on all official BI channels due to heavy IP and copyright infringements by the creators

trim olive
#

monkaS

wise barn
#

?

trim olive
#

do you know whats wrong though?

#

I can't start any scenario unless someone else made it in workshop so I think I'm missing something.

#

I'm just trying to make a singleplayer ai battle that I can play in.

wise barn
#

i already posted the only idea i had

trim olive
#

hmm

#

do you mind if I tell you what I did and see if you can see what I did wrong?

wise barn
#

unload all mods and retry with the vanilla game. i'm not willing to help as long as you are using banned mods

trim olive
#

I have tried but I will do that right now so we can test

wise barn
#

๐Ÿ‘

#

start with placing one unit, mark it as playable and try

#

if that works, move on from there

trim olive
#

ok, also thanks for helping, no one else in any other server has even bothered to help because i'm new to this

#

ok, new scenario

#

I'm at Tanoa and I placed a rifleman and made him player

wise barn
#

did it work?

trim olive
#

no it can't start

wise barn
trim olive
wise barn
#

as i said, no idea. sorry

When I start up Arma 3 on 64-bit it crashes when started through arma x64 exe, and there is no mouse cursor when started through launcher with parameters and mods

thorn pawn
#

I am trying to create a "zone" ellipse around a marker. How do i get that to happen?

#

_marker = createMarker ["dropMarker", position _crate];
_marker setMarkerShape "ICON";
_marker setMarkerType "hd_destroy";
_marker setMarkerText "Air Drop";
_marker setMarkerColor "ColorWhite";
_marker setMarkerSize [0.5,0.5];

_marker2 = createMarker ["zone", position dropMarker];  
_marker2 setMarkerShape "ELLIPSE";  
_marker2 setMarkerColor "ColorRed";  
_marker2 setMarkerSize [5,5]; 
_marker2 setMarkerBrush "DiagGrid";
#

thats what i have but it does not work. The first marker creates just fine

tired sable
#

anyonek know how to fix a no entry bin config error? doesnt let me start a mission after uploading it to a server

lost copper
#

Isn't that the error when you don't have a an important mod loaded?

tired sable
#

weird, its just ace with cba

#

something to do with some minefields I placed, using achilles, I removed them and the error dissappeared

cinder snow
#

Ummm sooo I am Having a very weird problem

#

Since Two Days I'm Trying to connect my UAV terminal with The drone

#

But so far without any success

#

I tried every uav combination with every Drone pack

#

Nothing works

#

I can only assemble the drone

#

I can't even open the uav terminal

#

However The civilian UAVs work fine and connect with their respective drones

bronze rampart
#

hello i recently bought arma 3 and whenever i try to get into the game it for some reason has the cursor all the way to the left of the screen so i fi try to click on singleplayer or multiplayer it just hits the quit button can anybody help me sort this out?

quaint jewel
#

fullscreen?

#

try fullscreen windowed maybe

fringe salmon
#

anyone know what the actual deal is when joining servers (multiple different servers using the same mod) extended_base_mod keys are not accepted by the server? i have tried deleting the mod from workshop, and then letting the game resubscribe to it on server join

#

have also tried deleting my keys folder and letting game regenerate it

#

"files "path!workshop@Extended_Base_mod\addons\extendedbase.pbo" are not signed by a key accepted by this server

#

thing is, other people are playing on it, and this has happened to me multiple times

shell grove
#

heyho ive struggeling with the use of the pboprefix, ive managed to get arma load the unpacked files from my mod, changes on functions are visible in the function viewer but are not applied, if i put the function in the debug watcher the function is still shows the one from the packed mod, addon is packed with the arma tools, unbin and added pboprefix.

quaint jewel
#

CfgFUnctions?

#

recompile entry set?

#

restarted the mission?

shell grove
#

recompile all and mission restart wont change it, doubled check the cba_cache_disable.pbo and tested the CfgSettings disabling, nope

quaint jewel
#

So you are using cba then?

shell grove
#

yes

quaint jewel
#

What is CfgSettings?

#

What you are saying doesn't make sense

quaint jewel
#

you said they are shown in functions viewer, CBA compiled functions aren't shown there.

shell grove
#

mhh good to know

#

first time trying the pboprefix way

lethal marlin
#

Alright so Arma uninstalled on steam but not on my PC, which was fine as I was still able to subscribe to workshop content. But now after I tried again to let it install and let steam recognize the game again on my PC, it said it was locating existing files, but after it did it started to install Arma all over again. I still have it and it is playable, but I can't update/download any mods etc. Would prefer to find a fix that doesn't involve reinstalling it all since my internet speed is about 100-200 kbps on steam.

errant venture
#

Alright, I have a Arma 3 Server that I purchased off Nitrousnetworks, and I run WW2 Zeus on it. Everyone that isn't in the zeus interface is completely unable to see the chat box/killfeed. Now, this leads to alot of problems regarding roleplay as I want to have some NPCs talk over the Chatter Module which utilizes chat. I presume a mod is causing this so here's my mod list: https://imgur.com/a/szdmXdJ
If you know which mod causes this, please tell me, and perhaps even if you know if I can disable it somewhere, thanks.

desert isle
#

@errant venture Firstly do not use mods which contain pirated/stolen content in them (Radium's Custom Soundtracks).

errant venture
#

Wdym pirated?

#

Its just music

#

@desert isle

quaint jewel
#

yes. pirated music probably

desert isle
#

Stolen from multiple games and Artists.

errant venture
#

Yeah so then why do music mods exist in the first place?

quaint jewel
#

Even says in description

Some music may have copyright, so please be aware if you use this in any sort of video.
200+ songs! ...from many different genres, and games!

desert isle
#

Because people are idiots

quaint jewel
#

Yeah so then why do music mods exist in the first place?
Why do murderers and thieves exist in the first place?

errant venture
#

I mean on the workshop

quaint jewel
#

I mean on the street

errant venture
#

Alright can you guys help me with the actual issue now or na?

desert isle
#

No, not really. The odds of those sort of mods causing issues are quite high. Additionally, since you don't seem that bothered by using stolen content, which is absolutely forbidden here... the answer remains the same.

errant venture
#

I know that both the Soundtrack and Soundpack mod are not the cause of this issue, as on other servers (the official Achilles Arma Server) the chatbox still exists.

#

Unless "those sort of mods" include every mod in that entire mod list.

desert isle
#

Well, you are running other stolen mods as well

errant venture
#

And which are those?

#

SWU?

desert isle
#

You really should should use due diligence

i pressed delete on a mod in the launcher and it has not freed up any space

daring tulip
#

So I was playing a COOP mission with 6 friends, I was the host, and one of my friends could not pick up weapons from the ground nor drop his weapon, pick up ammo etc. He was able to remove the magazine from his weapon but not add a new magazine in. Everytime he wanted to drop his weapon a duplicate of it would appear on the ground but his weapon remained bugged in his inventory

#

We were all using Arma 3's latest version, only mod was Ravage. It was happening to just that one player...

desert isle
#

Have him try with a new profile

daring tulip
#

Create a new profile in game? Or the Launcher?

desert isle
#

in game

daring tulip
#

will do, weird way to fix it but if it does then better than nothing

Hey there - not sure this is 100% the correct thread; please let me know if I should move it.
I just made my first patch to change the default loadout of the 'ITC Land' Sholefs. I've been testing it in Eden and believe I've ironed out most if not all of the kinks ... except I am now getting a CBA error. It popped up as I was loading up the mission, and I have no reference to chase it down.

From the RPT:

['\x\cba\addons\set>
23:01:10   Error position: <SLX_XEH_COMPILE_NEW;

This repeats for a couple seconds (10s if not 100s of instances in the RPT).  Anyone recognize this, or can you point me in the right direction to figure it out?
TIA.

Update the arma server and getting a fatal error \arma\dll\x64\physx3_x64.dll could not be loaded

quaint jewel
#

Are you on profiling branch?

#

@wise haven

wise haven
#

The server was on profiling branch, now on stable

quaint jewel
#

yeah we have issues with profiling branch, fix should come in any minute

wise haven
#

๐Ÿ‘Œ

thorny scroll
#

on my server is stable branch, but getting that error

quaint jewel
#

rerun the update in steam

wise haven
#

Steam or steamcmd? We simply uploaded a clients server x64 file to our server

quaint jewel
#

We simply uploaded a clients server x64 file to our server
That won't work

#

you need more than the server exe

#

you need the new physx libraries too

#

you need to do a full update with steam or steamcmd

wise haven
#

The dll's did update, the exe asked for the old one's though

#

When we tried to validate again it replaced the new exe with the old exe

quaint jewel
#

can you check version on exe?

#

right click -> properties -> details

wise haven
#

1.98.146.303

#

and physx_64.dll is 4.1.1.0

#

And if I rerun the upodate it reverts exe to 1.96.146.304

#

Dll's are still up to date

quaint jewel
#

so 1.98 binary is still throwing the physx3_x64 error?

wise haven
#

Well no

quaint jewel
#

1.96 should throw error yes, profiling branch hasn't been updated yet.

wise haven
#

With the new binary it works just fine

quaint jewel
#

yeah then you are on profiling, which is currently being fixed

wise haven
#

%STEAMPATH%\steamcmd.exe +login %STEAMLOGIN% +force_install_dir %A3serverPath% "+app_update %A3serverBRANCH%" validate +quit and steam branch is 233780

#

I was under the impression that was stable branch

quaint jewel
#

you might need to explicitly switch back to stable

#

if you were on profile

#

use
%STEAMPATH%\steamcmd.exe +login %STEAMLOGIN% +force_install_dir %A3serverPath% "+app_update %A3serverBRANCH%" -beta public validate +quit

#

maybe

wise haven
#

Will give it a go

quaint jewel
#

otherwise wait ~20 minutes till we fix profiling

wise haven
#

Sorted it, thanks ^^

pastel vigil
#

so, profiling branch is broken right now?

quaint jewel
#

yes

pastel vigil
#

I like how the exit code is 0x0000DEAD

quaint jewel
#

yes, intentional

#

Fix should be up now?

pastel vigil
#

you gotta be kidding me

#

I just switched to stable branch

quaint jewel
#

Well I said above

otherwise wait ~20 minutes till we fix profiling

pastel vigil
#

woopsie, totally missed that

#

reswitching to profiling

#

same error as before

#

launcher still says the game is at version 1.96 tho

#

might just be steam that yet hasn't propagated the update

quaint jewel
#

โ”ฌโ”€โ”ฌ ใƒŽ( ใ‚œ-ใ‚œใƒŽ)

pastel vigil
#

launcher now reports the game version to be at 1.98, game still crashes at launch

quaint jewel
#

I hope launcher reports wrong then

pastel vigil
#

well, just to be sure I made steam verify the cache of arma 3 and the result didn't change

#

Game version: 1.98.146322
Branch: profiling
this is what my launcher is reporting

quaint jewel
#

I'm gonna assume the work is still WIP, but someone pushed an update, seems not the correct one yet

pastel vigil
#

"switching back to stable"

#

interesting how going from profiling to stable now is 1.5GB of download, while before it was 48MB or something like that

fringe salmon
#

Hey i'm trying to join my server but i'm just stuck in the arma loading screen

#

just the Arma3 logo in the middle of the screen

#

it usually takes around 30 sec to join or so

#

i been waiting for like 10 minutes now

quaint jewel
#

interesting how going from profiling to stable now is 1.5GB of download, while before it was 48MB or something like that
indicating the error

#

@fringe salmon your server probably didn't update yet?

strange drift
quaint jewel
#

is that the same error as above

#

physx3_x64.dll?

native kettle
#

same when i want to open ob

strange drift
#

from the sound of it yes

quaint jewel
#

Yes its the same

#

he's on profiling branch, profiling wasn't updated correctly yet

native kettle
quaint jewel
#

Are you on profiling? switch to stable

#

maybe that fixes the tools bug too

native kettle
#

i'm on stable

quaint jewel
#

arma 3 tools doesn't contain the physx dlls

#

it grabs them from arma

#

copy your Arma 3/dll folder to your pdrive?

#

Arma 3 Tools/Binarize folder also has the physx dlls

drowsy bay
#

copying the dll files from arma 3 to P worked for me

#

Thanks @quaint jewel

#

The Arma 3 Tools EULA popped up today as if installing for the first time. It's already been running on my system for years. The language read acceptable, but I can't remember the older/previous EULA to understand the changes - if any. Were there changes to the license or was this just some anomaly?

quaint jewel
#

no changes that I'm aware of

#

besides the date being updated to 2020

wintry plaza
#

Previous updates have been behind the scenes, but this is the first time it asked me to re-agree. Seems strange.

uncut trellis
#

I always get it after a tools update

#

if I run the Arma tools launcher that is

#

which I almost never do

fringe salmon
#

@quaint jewel Yeah i updated my server still getting the loading screen

wintry plaza
#

Ok so that brings me to another question. I use Mikero Tools to compile, and I open the A3 Tools individually as needed, bypassing the tools launcher utility, "Arma 3 Tools." I was under the impression however that I need that little utility running when compiling or using the actual tools... Is that right?

viral cargo
#

Oh, boy..what is VCOMP120.dll and why it is missing after Arma 3 update (thus preventing A3 from launching)

brave hawk
uncut trellis
#

@wintry plaza no you dont need it running

#

with mikero tools setup you need to run it only once to get the registry stuff it does on first run

viral cargo

Ok, I guess there should be something in those folders but mine are empty. Is this a case foooorr Verify integrity of game fiiileess
edit: Downloading and installing Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 helped to cure the situation

ionic canopy
#

Could someone help me out? my mic isn't working in arma 3 for whatever reason

uncut trellis
#

you likely have wrong default input device set up in windows

ionic canopy
#

my mic works fine on everything else

#

i did a mic test on steam and chrome

#

worked fine

brave hawk
#

@ionic canopy perhaps, but is it the default sound input?
also, do you push to talk?

ionic canopy
#

i do push to talk, and it is the default @brave hawk

brave hawk
#

theeeeeen I don't know. unless you (un)plug it while the game is launched.

After the old man update,when I go to launch my game,it starts loading for 1-2 seconds and then it crashes,showing the "Arma 3 has stopped working message" (it does not instantly shut down).I have tried verifying the game cache and restarting steam,but nothing.Any ideas?

sudden cipher
#

A whole bunch of our units in unsung just developed weird tattoos since todays arma 3 update

#

@quaint jewel any idea what changed that could have this effect on arma 2 character models?

uncut trellis
#

something to do with shadows

sudden cipher
#

It is not in all of our character models, only some

#

It looks to me like an unbinarized rtm or a broken shadow skeleton

#

But we havent built any pbos since the update

uncut trellis
#

have not seen rtm affect shadows only.

sudden cipher
#

So that rules out the tools update

uncut trellis
#

what shadow draw type they use?

sudden cipher
#

@jaunty cedar is exploring the files

jaunty cedar
#

prefershadowvolume 1, and ShadowOffset 0.02

#

not sure what the later is about?

#

then there's ShadowVolume 0 and 10

uncut trellis
#

offset might be problem here? its not a default A3 parameter at all I think

#

shadows for the naked hands could be copied from the sample man I think

#

seems like CUP guys also had good ideas ๐Ÿ˜„

#

just if anyone else has similar error, they suggested HL or camo selections being present in shadowlod

jaunty cedar
#

thanks, just learned it, testing now

#

seems to work, removed hl selection

What does a status access violation mean and how can I fix it?

#

I get it every time I try to start a scenario from the Editor

uncut trellis
#

do you use USB headset or other USB audiodevice?

#

if yes, try unplugging it and see if that does anything

wooden tulip
#

I do. I'll give that a try

#

That didn't fix it

#

Anything else you can suggest? @uncut trellis

uncut trellis
#

verify game files and update gpu drivers come to mind. Other than that, nope.

Hi all, having trouble updating the dedicated server through steamcmd. My A3 client just updated through steam to 1.98 however when trying to update the dedicated server it says it's already update at 1.96... I'm using branch A3BRANCH=233780 -beta from the BI wiki which till this update has worked so far. Am I missing something or does steam take a bit to update the server packages?

#

since the update 1.98 one of the servers i am working with is having the problem that its like its running in the background

-server starts up but console window only pops up for a splitsecond
-after that the server is in the process list in task manager but isnt really initialized fully.

#

this is a server which had no errors whatssoever right before the update

#

verified integrity

#

everything

quaint jewel
#

check RPT

arctic owl
#

So I turned on my PC and Arma uninstalled itself

#

Any idea why

grim tinsel
#

Nope

pastel sleet
#

yeah,i did,its literally the same as before@quaint jewel . first thing you do is checking rpt. server is starting up,db connection is fine,its just that the process isnt really like before,its "in the background" with no console

quaint jewel
#

so the server is running fine

#

besides that the console is not showing

pastel sleet
#

when started manually yes (bat file),when restarting through a watchdog it turns sh+t and isnt even accessible,starts twice and stuff like that

#

the thing is,the only thing that has changed is that i ran an update via steamcommand

quaint jewel
#

well we don't have any changes regarding that ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

best to provide as much information about the problem as you can when you ask to speed up the answering process.

yesterday I was running the 1.98 build just fine, had to switch to legacy branch to play with a server still at 1.96

#

dunno, what other things I should say? Already said the error, the things I've tried..

#

well its 3 years old since last update. probably its not really valid anymore if it ever was

there are no magical optimizations you can do

you should just reset to default settings

how do i know if my HC is connected and working in game using debug?
on the client side it says
16:25:17 Dedicated client created.
16:25:47 Client connected: 127.0.0.1:2302
16:25:48 > headlessclient uses modified data file
16:25:48 > Player headlessclient connecting

server side says
16:25:47 Player headlessclient connecting.
16:25:48 Player headlessclient connected (id=HC22756).
16:25:49 > Player headlessclient connected

but on the server RPT it says
17:03:53 ALiVE AI Distributor detected no HCs, idling for 60 seconds.
what gives?

dusk nova
#

how do I increase FPS

#

i bought this game and now I can't refund it :( so how do I get at least 60 FPS

quaint jewel
#

so how do I get at least 60 FPS
Thats not how Arma works

dusk nova
#

not very helpful

#

if u DM me i give system specsw

#

i wasted 40 dollars on this game, so i want to be able to at least play it

desert isle
#

You dont just adjust a slider in Arma to get 60FPS

#

Lets start with the basics like system specs

dusk nova
#

yes i cant post images

desert isle
#

We dont need images

dusk nova
#

well idk specs

#

i just have a screenshot of "This pc" properties

desert isle
#

So, if you dont know your specs, how can you get angry at not getting 60FPS?

dusk nova
#

well doesnt DayZ run on Arma 3 engine

quaint jewel
#

no

dusk nova
#

ok

#

my specs are:

#

"AMD Ryzen 3 2300X Quad-Core Proccesor"

#

3.50 Ghz

#

32.0 GB Ram

#

64-Bit Operating System, x64-based processor

quaint jewel
#

sounds like average 40-60fps to me

#

how much are you getting?

dusk nova
#

i wasnt keeping track but it definintely was under 50

#

under 20-30 if i wasnt looking in the ground

quaint jewel
#

wuht

#

u sure youre cpu is constantly running on 3.5ghz?

dusk nova
#

no

quaint jewel
#

are you using mods?

dusk nova
#

thats jus what my specs say

#

no

#

i just got the game

quaint jewel
#

You can check current frequency in task manager

proven forge
#

SP or MP?

dusk nova
#

SP

#

i dont care for MP yet

daring tulip
#

And your video card?

dusk nova
#

idk

#

i upgraded my computers card thingy with the fan on it a while ago

#

but idk if that changes whats on the specs

#

where in task manager

#

do i find it

daring tulip
#

Well your video card is quite important, without knowing exactly what it is the experts have their hands tied when helping you

dusk nova
#

how do I find it

daring tulip
#

Do you have an nvidia option when you right click on your desktop?

dusk nova
#

i use AMD

#

no

#

i have "AMD Radeon Settings"

daring tulip
#

Go there

#

I have an nvidia 1660 TI so I don't know about AMD much

dusk nova
#

ok i found a bunch of system info

#

what do u want

daring tulip
#

but when you get to your AMD panel there should be an "about" or "system" option to know your exact GPU (Video Card)

#

search for GPU = Radeon XXX or something like that

dusk nova
#

there is Graphics Chipset

#

and CPU

daring tulip
#

Yeah that is the one, Graphics Chipset

#

what does it say?

dusk nova
#

Graphics Chipset
AMD Radeon RX 5700

daring tulip
#

That is one of the High End ones

#

does it say how much ram it has?

dusk nova
#

System Memory
32 GB

daring tulip
#

No, not the system memory, the Graphics Chipset memory

dusk nova
#

Memory Size 8176 MB

#

theres this too next to "Graphics Chipset"

daring tulip
#

What mission are you playing in Arma 3? Old Man? Or the regular campaign?

dusk nova
#

regularcampaign and old man both lag

#

but im trying to do Old Man atm

daring tulip
#

Your computer should be running Arma 3 above 50 Fps...

dusk nova
#

it doesnt tho

#

i have it set to "High Priority" tho

daring tulip
#

Do this experiment, set everything to ULTRA, but disable PiP and set your viewdistance to 1000 and object distance to 875

dusk nova
#

ok

quaint jewel
#

did you already do anything to try to improve performance before you came here? Like start parameters?

dusk nova
#

yes but that messed up the game so i removed htem all

#

if u read up that was what my original problem wa

desert isle
#

Always, always, always start with autodetect. NEVER change things when you don't know what they do.

dusk nova
#

i was following a guide xd

#

but it was an old one ig

desert isle
#

You missed the part about "NEVER"

#

Given that we may not know what you have messed up by following some random "guide" from the internet, my recommendation is to delete it Arma (and your local profile) and reinstall.

quaint jewel
#

local profile should be enough

#

My Documents/Arma 3 folder

desert isle
#

Thats a whole lot of assumption.

dusk nova
#

no it works

#

i removed the startup commands

#

and it works

quaint jewel
dusk nova
#

also it doesnt lag as much now that i removed the start commands but followed the rest of the guide

#

@quaint jewel i already told u my original problem was something else

#

and i was asking about improving arma

desert isle
#

Throw that guide out the window and start fresh

quaint jewel
#

you come here asking for advice, are given advice, and just ignore it and say you know better than the people who you asked for advice.
Why are you here then really?

dusk nova
#

@desert isle i will if I get more FPS drops, im doing the first campaign scenario (after the tutorial) and it is getting high frames

#

I'm currently dealing with a problem with Arma 3 Zeus.
Everytime I become Zeus, a memory reference crash occurs. The thing is, is that it happens at random moments in the game when i'm Zeus. Rarely, it doesn't happen at all. The memory references numbers are seemingly random. I might be wrong about this. All i know is that one of the reference numbers is always full zeros. The crash doesn't happen when i'm a normal soldier, or just anything that isn't a Zeus.
I searched online to see no solution, so i'm stuck to being here asking for help. If any of you could help, it would be greatly appreciated.

grim tinsel
#

Can you provide the full crash message? @next verge

#

RPT aswell

next verge
#

I can only provide the RPT at the moment, next time I crash I will try to write down the message since the crash message overlaps any screenshot software I have. Give me a second to grab the RPT.

Do I send it as a file or..?

For some reason it is not allowing me to drag it into discord.

Hi guys, i run a dedicated server on a rented windows server 2012. Since the last update, ive been unable to make steam update my server, we're stuck at 1.96. When i run the updater - in admin mode - it just says the server is up to date. I can see that other servers are version 1.98. Any tips?

lost copper
#

i think i saw someone with the same issue somewhere
maybe it was in #server_admins

#

but maybe i am wrong

#

@fringe salmon

fringe salmon
#

Will take a look

quaint jewel
#

@fringe salmon steamcmd is probably installing into wrong directory

fringe salmon
#

@quaint jewel I reinstalled arma on the server, that seems to have done the trick. Thanks for helping

uncut trellis
#

@urban solstice this would be the channel to find out what the issue is.

urban solstice
#

oh sorry

uncut trellis
#

One thing that comes to mind is that are you using USB headset

urban solstice
#

didnt see this

uncut trellis
#

no problem

#

theres just no slowmode here so its easier to communicate

#

but about that headset

urban solstice
#

Yea USB

#

but I was able to fly it a while ago

uncut trellis
#

alright unplug that and try playing for a while

grim tinsel
#

I'd check first if it works without the flight stick connected

urban solstice
#

@grim tinsel already did

grim tinsel
#

Then do what HG says blep

uncut trellis
#

there is a proven to exist a bit random bug with USB audio devices and Windows 10 and Arma

#

which renders them un usable for some

#

apprarently getting rid of all realtek audio stuff and disabling the onboard audio chip from Bios can solve it but then you get audio out only from your headphones

urban solstice
#

So I cant hear when I fly?

uncut trellis
#

well for startes I would just test if it works

urban solstice
#

alright

#

Could it be my flight stick?

#

Friend is saying you need the program or something

uncut trellis
#

its possible too

urban solstice
#

game crashed without usb plugged in

#

Imma try the program

uncut trellis
#

the headset?

#

or the joystic?

urban solstice
#

joystick program

uncut trellis
#

what program is that?

#

and did you keep the headset on?

urban solstice
#

So i just did it without head set

#

and now I will download logitech gaming software for my joystick

uncut trellis
#

so no headset and it did not crash?

#

but joystic was plugged?

urban solstice
#

Wait

#

Both things werent plugged in

#

So how tf i crash??

uncut trellis
#

then its likely not about the usbs

urban solstice
#

whats the second option

uncut trellis
#

dunno, try verifying the game files in steam

urban solstice
#

taking a while to identify

#

prob missing a lot of files then lmao

#

3 files missing apparently

#

here lemme try now

#

Ok it works

#

phew

#

#

Is it jus me, or is doArtilleryFire extremely buggy in a Dedicated Server environment. It seems to work just fine in SP, and even in Hosted MP.

On a dedicated server though, it just seems to have a very high chance of just twitching the barrels of artillery units without firing, or just plain not working at all. Ex. giving 5 firing orders in SP will cause 5 fire missions, while on dedi it will work between 0-5 times.

It's very frustrating trying to host some kind of mission involving AI artillery for my group.

Issue moved to scripting.

brave hawk
#

that would be #arma3_scripting , and _unitP is undefined
also, remoteExecCall where player is localโ€ฆ doesn't need remote

shy pasture
#

"and _unitP is undefined"
" and passed params are ok (_unit,_selection,_instigator) - I've checked it with marker just before the function call line."
Of course it is defined, otherwise I would see no data inside ๐Ÿ™‚

"also, remoteExecCall where player is localโ€ฆ doesn't need remote"
Of course it is needed, as the function is for server only - to be sure it is not executed locally.

I suppose it is the handler specific behaviour, but I still can't get it.

brave hawk
#

if it is server-side and you are running a dedi, player is objNull

#

and

player remoteExecCall ["OT_fnc_revivesystem", player]; // "call where player is local" is always true
shy pasture
#

player remoteExecCall ["OT_fnc_revivesystem",player]; - the "player" means it will be executed on instance where the player is local

brave hawk
#

player is always local to the client, so it is useless

#

this remoteExecCall says "execute OT_fnc_reviveSystem with player as param where player is local"

#

you could simply do player call OT_fnc_reviveSystem

shy pasture
#

Ah, this. Yes, of course it is not needed, but, as I said, the params are ok. This is what were passed before the function call:
[R ะะปัŒั„ะฐ 4-6:1 (name) REMOTE,"spine1",3.61772,bigboss,"LIB_B_792x33_Ball",4,bigboss,"hitabdomen"]
So it should be ok, but it isn't ๐Ÿ™‚

brave hawk
#

if

The function itself:
is all of OT_fnc_revivesystem, _unitP is undefined.
let's head to #arma3_scripting

shy pasture
#

I've told that it is defined, otherwise there should be no unit name inside )) Even more, below there was another code, which makes AI to run to the player and heal him - and it works too.
But yes, in my script it looks like it is undefined, as I cutted the top, sorry. Fixed.

So reinstalling should help
Maybe I am wrong

#

@fringe salmon have you got battleye enabled
And what about the guys that connect

uncut trellis
#

verifying the files could also be good idea

versed kestrel
#

I try reinstalling it see what happens first time got this ever but I see what happens chears guys

fringe salmon
#

I can't seem to connect to modded servers, I try to join and it sits in that map screen with waves sounds then just disconnects and gives me a "Connecting failed" message. I've tried reinstalling arma and the mods, verfified, repaired, etc. I can connect to unmodded official servers, and when I check .rpt I see a message saying "Skipping mods and signatures due to overflow flag being set." Also checked .pbo files and all are up to date and matching to my friends on the server

#

ok it seemed to work all of a sudden and i am absolutely clueless as to how

#

it seemed to happen to work after i unloaded all my mods and joined an official server

#

reloaded them all and tried to join the modded, then it works?

uncut trellis
#

are you joining through the launcher?

#

or in game server browser

#

as the launchers server browser is smart and loads only the mods the server uses

#

so you can get in

#

most servers will kick you out if you have mods that the server does not use loaded

#

it is bad to load aaaaaal your million mods at once

fringe salmon
#

i tried both and it failed both times

#

manually loaded only the mods the server uses

#

joined from list

#

and then after it didnt work tried the launcher auto mod setup

#

it failed everything I tried up until i joined some random unmodded official server

#

My friend canโ€™t play arma 3, when they select play from the launcher the game crashes. They have reinstalled but the same issue still applies, how can i (or my friend), fix their game?

hi Team (sorry for my Enlgish) , I have a troubleshooting about my ArmaLauncher et my Arma Game ... I can't put my Launcher and my game in French (only English is available in the language choice). I've deleted and reinstall my game all afternoon... but nothings helps. I even forced the French language in the config file, but the French files cannot be downloaded on Steam.

If anyone has a solution, I would be very grateful.

lost copper
#

ahm
idk if this helps @random rapids but have you got steam in english or french
because if in english in some games they have the language based on steam
idk how it is with arma but it might help

random rapids
#

Thanks for your answer @lost copper , but my Steam is in French. Arma is the only game who French Language is not available. It's a mystery to me.

@brave hawk

#

Can you help?

brave hawk
#

Yep?

#

@random rapids you can change your Launcher's language through the launcher itself (top-right), and the game language from Steam settings.

#

Hello @brave hawk : No, my Launcher and my game show me only English in settings. It's crazy.

I don't have the Fr-fr folder in my Hard Disk

Hello! For one of my favorite servers from this weekend I started to receive a Connection failed error, when trying to join it from Arma 3 (if I try to join from launcher game just hangs)

#

How to diagnose this problem? I can ping server and no ban action was taken upon me

torn relic
#

i keep getting access violations

uncut trellis
#

was this on game startup or after you are in game

#

also do you run mods?

torn relic
#

it was in a workshop scenario

#

no mods

#

and it was like 3s after i loaded in

uncut trellis
#

is it just that scenario or does for example campaign or the tutorials work?

torn relic
#

it does it for every scenario

#

ima try the tutorials now

uncut trellis
#

are you using USB headset?

torn relic
#

bluetooth

uncut trellis
#

USB transmitter?

torn relic
#

i have a bluetooth receiver usb

uncut trellis
#

then you have USB headset.

torn relic
#

ok

uncut trellis
#

quit Arma, unplug the USB and start Arma again

#

see if you can get any scenario running

torn relic
#

@uncut trellis didn't crash

#

When can I plug the Bluetooth thing back

sage shell
#

anyone know if we can revert back to 1.94

uncut trellis
#

no

#

@torn relic well seems like you are one of the unfrotunates that suffer from Windows 10 - USB audio - Arma3 bug

#

there is no simple fix, but some people have had luck by removing all realtek audio drivers and disabling the motherboard sound chip from BIOS

#

it would mean you would get sound out only through your headset

floral mirage
#

also do you run mods?
@uncut trellis no mods, vanilla only, when I try to connect from game menu - I see message connection failed. When connecting from launcher game just hangs

uncut trellis
#

have you verified game files?

floral mirage
#

sure, I did, I also tried completely reinstalling a3

#

btw, I also do have a usb headset

#

but I am able to play single player scenarios and campaigns, and it was never a problem, I am using usb headset for few past years

uncut trellis
#

the USB problem hits randomly

floral mirage
#

let me try unplugging it

uncut trellis
#

connection failed is not really a symptom

#

the game crashes for people who have that bug

floral mirage
#

seems not related, also since i am able to connect to official bis servers - something weird between myself and my fav server

uncut trellis
#

possibly the server is just down

floral mirage
#

no, it is displayed as up, and my friend was able to connect

opal laurel
#

So me and a friend are having issues with starting a server. It simply isn't showing up no matter what we do. Ever since Old Man released this has started happening. We have have done literally everything that the forums mention doing. we are running zero-mods. 100% vanilla.

@floral mirage if you cant connect to an specific server, contact the server admin.
Perhaps they have configured bandwitdh limits (minBandwith) and you cant connect anymore.

Question about graphical settings.
For me there is no halo circles around light sources, while on another PC, with the same settings, it is shown.

What settings is it depends on?

Nope. Bloom creates a soft shining around objects, and it works.

Trouble shooting Object builder; I had to reset my Pc and redid all the Arma modding install stuff (exactly as specified in PMC Wiki), Before I also already did a few models and last time I set it up exactly the same.
This time Object builder doesn't recognize any texture, It neither shows it anywhere and also shows me the texture as faulty in "Mass texture renaming". The model with the material was exported from Blender via THe Arma Blender toolbox.

I would have guessed that it is an issue with my texture or path(even though I tried it in any directory on my pc, yes also P:), but one of the textures is a basic color, It doesn't work either and also shows up as faulty in mass renamer. RVmats are there and linked.
Anyone had that before and can help me? I don't know whats happening as I just reinstalled but did everything exactly the same.

Edit: To be sure I went through reinstalling everything twice and it is still the same

Moderators are human, we make mistakes. As I didn't see a warning in channel, I warned the user not knowing that a warning had already been issued and text cleaned up. At 08:32 I was notified by another moderator that this had occurred and as such was composing the bot command to rescind the warning. And the rest..... the user in question continued with his inflammatory and profane outbursts which led to their ban.

Moral of the story: When you think you've been wronged, review your behaviour, then contact a Moderator via DM to discuss. If you're a moderator, review your behaviour and if you've made a mistake, rectify it... like I attempted to do. o7

what did he do if i can ask?

quaint jewel

profanity, got warned by another member
"you are not a moderator, you have nothing to tell me!"
more profanity, got warned by moderator
crossposts, got warned by moderator again.
DM's moderator that neither is written in the rules
gets screenshot by moderator of it being written in the rules and that he was already told by another user about it.
Complains that the user is not staff and attacks moderator with more profanity via DM.
Get's banned.

if battleEye dont work for your windows version you got to play without it. Which will limit your options for servers.

your scenario should appear in the Eden Editor, not in the Scenarios list

I'm confused

When i attempted to actually try and find it in Eden Editor

I couldn't find it at all

But when i did try to overwrite it, it gave me a choice to overwrite it over my disappearing scenario.

brave hawk

what is the full path of your sqm file?

Sorry for it's rude name but

then yes, if your mission.sqm is in there you should be able to see your mission in Eden when you Ctrl+O try to open a scenario

#

yikers thats a confusing 1

wise barn
#

you go to ...\Documents\Arma 3\Saved\A3\Missions_F_Oldman\Campaign\Missions
you will find a folder called Oldman.Tanoa
make a backup of that.
once the backup is done, remove all files in Oldman.Tanoa so that the folder is empty.
once done, load all mods you had loaded prior to your crash and restart the mission.
wait until the intro is over and save the mission. then close the game.
go to your backup folder and look for the autosave.Arma3Save file. copy that to the Oldman.Tanoa folder.
launch your game with all the mods, resume old man and then load the autosave file

#

i'm off to work now, so any other troubleshooting will be not realtime and a little delayed

#

keep in mind, as soon as you change any of the previous mods you have loaded, your game save will get corrupt again

shy barn
#

I donโ€™t know what mods I had on before the crash cos I was tryna load into the popular OCE exile server and had to download a few of them and validated my files like 80 million times

All goods tho

#

Well, you're out of luck then. This means a clean restart without mods of Oldman for you then

Old Man really shouldn't be played with mods
