i have a waypoint cycle set up with a trigger that breaks them out of the cycle to go get in a taru pod, but because the pod dont move any where i cant get them to get out of the taru pod. any one know how to fix this ?

dark grail Apr 23, 2020, 12:45 PM

#

Can someone help me set up port forwarding for TADST?

forest ember Apr 23, 2020, 12:47 PM

#

@dark grail If you have a UPnP enabled router, you can just tick the UPnP checkbox and it will automatically forward the ports you need.

#

If you don't have a UPnP enabled router, you'll need to refer to the instructions for your specific router. Every router has a different interface.

#

To get to that interface (for Windows):

Win + R
Enter in cmd
Type in ipconfig
Take the Default Gateway and type it into the link box within your web browser.

dark grail Apr 23, 2020, 12:56 PM

#

Im unsure if I have a UPnP router. But I did go into my router settings to forward 2302-2305

#

trying to see if that works

#

Yeah no diece

#

I can see the server on LAN though.

dark grail Apr 23, 2020, 1:15 PM

#

I changed the ports to 2302-2312 UDP as per the TADST recommendation and still no dice

hollow knot Apr 23, 2020, 1:19 PM

#

Is anyone getting any issues with the steam download on a server, we cant seem to get any mods larger than 500mb onto the server and its really annoying?

nova lynx Apr 23, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

@nova lynx
Oh really? Is that so? Wow. Not like our #rules say
@quaint jewel my deepest apologies. New and just trying to find my footing. A little tactic goes a long way to Foster a welcoming environment. Sounds like youre a mod that can't answer the topic but can certainly abuse people with such grace and power. "Oh is that so?"

hollow knot Apr 23, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

I take that as a no, no one has come across that issue with the steam downloader :(, back to the brick wall i return, got more headbutting to do

quaint jewel Apr 23, 2020, 1:44 PM

#

@hollow knot sorry missed your message due to that other glowing one there.
What does can't mean? I'm downloading workshop mods with steamcmd on my server, and up to 15gb big mods never had big issues with it

hollow knot Apr 23, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

Mmmmm, ok may be a problem my end then (server hoster) because while the steam cmd is saying the mod has been downloaded it does not actually come down to the server, and nothing I have done has worked, which is confusing. I was wondering whether it might be an issue with the servers steam login

quaint jewel Apr 23, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

it says it downloaded successfully but you don't see it?
Are you sure you are checking the correct folder? where are you looking for it?

dark grail Apr 23, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

@forest ember Any other ideas?

hollow knot Apr 23, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

@quaint jewel Yeah checking the correct file, and it kicks up errors saying the mod doesnt exist when it put it in the command line

#

I guess actually ill just wait the small eternity and attempt to ftp it across from my pc and see if that works.

#

Nvm I fixed it, Changed the steam branch

#

Woooooo no more pain and suffering, thanks for all your help dedmen, appreciate it

forest ember Apr 23, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

@dark grail Have you tried selecting UPnP?

dark grail Apr 23, 2020, 3:01 PM

#

I believe so, don’t think that worked either but I will give it another shot

dark grail Apr 23, 2020, 3:51 PM

#

@forest ember No dice with UPnP enabled

forest ember Apr 23, 2020, 3:57 PM

#

Are you sure you port forwarded correctly?

dark grail Apr 23, 2020, 3:59 PM

#

not %100 honestly

#

I have 2302-2305 UDP opened

forest ember Apr 23, 2020, 3:59 PM

#

@fringe salmon I logged the GPU temperatures over a period of 45 minutes. The readings hit a maximum of 69.5C.

dark grail Apr 23, 2020, 3:59 PM

#

Thats what TADST is suggesting

mighty pier Apr 23, 2020, 4:10 PM

#

@dark grail you need up to +4 opened for UDP plus whatever port your set your rcon on

dark grail Apr 23, 2020, 4:11 PM

#

Im not sure what that means, can you explain further?

mighty pier Apr 23, 2020, 4:11 PM

#

In your example above open up to 2306

#

Arma needs that since a few versions back

dark grail Apr 23, 2020, 4:12 PM

#

okay so 2302 to 2306?

mighty pier Apr 23, 2020, 4:13 PM

#

Yes but, do you have rcon set up in the battleye folder?

dark grail Apr 23, 2020, 4:13 PM

#

I dont know what that is so probably not

#

that wasnt in any of the guides I followed

mighty pier Apr 23, 2020, 4:14 PM

#

Ok, and is this on a local machine?

dark grail Apr 23, 2020, 4:14 PM

#

Correct

mighty pier Apr 23, 2020, 4:15 PM

#

So you probably need to open up some other stuff. Windows firewall, anti virus etc. Sorry, I've only done servers, never even tried LAN hosting

dark grail Apr 23, 2020, 4:16 PM

#

I dont want to do LAN hosting, I want to create a server with TADST

#

No dice on opening ports 2302 to 2306

#

I can see the server on the LAN tab, but not on Internet

mighty pier Apr 23, 2020, 4:44 PM

#

And windows firewall and antivirus?

dark grail Apr 23, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

Do I need to disable those completely or?

#

Im not even sure what to do with these honestly

fringe salmon Apr 23, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

@forest ember when your display cuts does ths rest of your pc shut down

mighty pier Apr 23, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

Someb antivirus programs have a built in firewall. Windows also has one. So, if you're hosting off that local machine your going to have to get it past those as well.

dark grail Apr 23, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

do I allow TADST through?

#

cause I've allowed that and arma 3 obvioulsy and its still not working. Getting really frustrated with this.

forest ember Apr 23, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

@fringe salmon Nope. The PC continues running.

#

Arma 3 stops responding

#

I know this because the GPU clocks back down

#

I can still hear Arma sounds though

#

such as the helicopter

#

Sounds stay in the same position obviously because arma isn't responding

hi its me again when i start my mission it kicks players passed 5 minutes, no log on rtp

fringe salmon Apr 23, 2020, 6:02 PM

#

@forest ember do you have a desktop fan?

#

Still thinking your overheating a bit i had the same symptons before

dusk sphinx Apr 23, 2020, 6:05 PM

#

Yo guys
I recently made a flying ship in arma 3 editor
I made a composition out of it
and was excited to try it out on my map
but the altitude button didnt work with the composition
and the ship is completely broken on the ground
is there anyway I can paste a composition with altitude?

forest ember Apr 23, 2020, 6:06 PM

#

@fringe salmon negative

#

i dont think its overheating

#

and yes, i have multiple desktop fans

#

I did a temperature log

#

none of the temperatures were high

#

This problem started after I reconfigured my RAM sticks

#

so I'm thinking something to do with that??

fringe salmon Apr 23, 2020, 6:08 PM

#

Can anyone help me with this:

Warning Message: Addon 'CW_E_Equipment' requires addon 'ItemCore'

#

Im not sure then, when my vrm got to around 69c it would shut off my monitors then leave my pc running, and the vrm was the only one that was higher than the rest of my parts, so once i took a desktop fan and opened the side of my pc and turned it on the issue stopped

#

@forest ember you can try reverting it

quaint jewel Apr 23, 2020, 6:17 PM

#

ItemCore is not a mod, its a CfgWeapons class

fringe salmon Apr 23, 2020, 6:18 PM

#

Thank you, will see if i can rectify it

#

Is there a way to figure out what the required addons are for the Cfg patches?

quaint jewel Apr 23, 2020, 6:28 PM

#

unpack the pbo and look

#

or what mean?

fringe salmon Apr 23, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

There are a lot of pbo's is the problem

quaint jewel Apr 23, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

should be called something along the lines of cw_e_equipment.pbo

fringe salmon Apr 23, 2020, 6:30 PM

#

Okay, first time doing stuff like this. I apologise 😛

quaint jewel Apr 23, 2020, 6:31 PM

#

Well it should be. most professional modders do it like that

#

though putting a CfgWeapons classname into required addons doesn't sound professional to me

forest ember Apr 23, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

@fringe salmon yeah i'll give that a try then

patent bear Apr 23, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

whats the MCC mod

quaint jewel Apr 23, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

and i just verified
no, the file is not corrupted. The mod is intentionally built that way, in a bad way.

#

something mission maker sandbox thing.. don't know the name, its called MCC. I'm sure google will help you with that part

#

Remove mods one by one or divide and conquer style to find out what the broken one is

Hello, I try join a Unit's server, but when I use the Ip and port from their server in direct connect, nothing shows up. I tryed luncher direct connect too and it stuck at blank black page with arma 3 writed on it... I tryed other servers and they worked ok, but this server won't show up for me... anybody knows why?

sick escarp Apr 23, 2020, 9:55 PM

#

Wrong Password, wrong port/ip would be my first guesses.

dense jetty Apr 23, 2020, 9:57 PM

#

I checked them, they were right

#

If my country block that server, does it show up?

fringe salmon Apr 23, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

Have you asked the unit that hosts it, you maybe missing something

#

Double check mods, correct i.p password etc

dense jetty Apr 23, 2020, 10:00 PM

#

Yes, I asked them and it was a wierd problem. They tryed to help but it didn't got fixed

#

Even If I have wrong mods, I should see the server, right? But I can't even see it

fringe salmon Apr 23, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

Have you been on the server before?

dense jetty Apr 23, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

No

fringe salmon Apr 23, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

A simple solution if it is potentially related to the i.p is add one of them on steam and join through the friends tab when they are on it

dense jetty Apr 23, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

We did that

#

That didn't worked

fringe salmon Apr 23, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

Through the ingame friends tab?

#

Not steam

dense jetty Apr 23, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

Yes

#

Luncher and in game

fringe salmon Apr 23, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

Very weird

dense jetty Apr 23, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

I tryed both

#

And he was in the server

#

I thought maybe the goverment in my country block that server, or that server block my country's Ip (beacuse of sanctions). But if that is true, should I still see the server right?

fringe salmon Apr 23, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

I doubt they have blocked that server only

fringe salmon Apr 23, 2020, 11:22 PM

#

question here

#

So I moved Arma 3 from my old HDD to my SSD, and now it's wanting to redownload it again, I can start it with the launcher but it doesn't show it as running on Steam. I looked at the steam folder on my hard drive and it keeps making a new arma 3 folder in it

#

Change the pathway on steam

#

Local files

#

how would I go about doing that?

sick escarp Apr 23, 2020, 11:24 PM

#

Right click on Arma 3 --> Properties --> Local files tab

fringe salmon Apr 23, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

Iirc correctly right click on arma in steam and click properties, local files and "move install folder"

sick escarp Apr 23, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

^That will actually move the files to the new location from the old one.

fringe salmon Apr 23, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

"Files can't be moved to new library folder (Update Required)."

#

The existing files are not there, that's why it is trying to redownload them

#

But thing is, I already have my Arma 3 folder that I moved to my SSD, but I moved it manually not using steam

#

so what now?

sick escarp Apr 23, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

Right, because he moved them in File Explorer.

#

Uninstall, reinstall in the new location, should find the files you moved, I believe.

fringe salmon Apr 23, 2020, 11:27 PM

#

uninstall 150gb?

sick escarp Apr 23, 2020, 11:27 PM

#

From Steam, not the OS.

#

If you try to launch it, Steam will look in its old location, I'm pretty sure. Give launching it a shot, if it doesn't work you should be okay.

fringe salmon Apr 23, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

Always verify, but that is another way to do it

sick escarp Apr 23, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

Or you can move everything back and then use the "move install folder" to have Steam move things.

fringe salmon Apr 23, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

how about uh, hmm. Could I move the Arma 3 folder out of my SSD to a temporary folder, then change the install location, and just put all the arma files in the new folder made by steam?

#

Right. uninstall via steam. It will delete the existing folder and all it's content (You have all your arma stuff in a different folder anyway)

#

Then install, select the location of where your current stuff is and then just verify your game

sick escarp Apr 23, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

It should try to uninstall the game from ...\steamapps\common\Arma 3. When it can't find it, Steam should tell you the files have already been uninstalled or moved. "Download" the game again and set the install location as wherever you moved it, Steam should detect the local files and not download everything you already have.

#

Only thing that might be worth copying is your user folder in Documents\Arma 3 or Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles

#

I don't think steam touches it when in uninstalls, but it's easy to copy and you're out anything not synced to the steam cloud if it nukes them.

fringe salmon Apr 23, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

This is the most confusing thing in the world somehow

#

I did just that

#

moved arma to another folder

#

clicked uninstall to the old one

#

clicked to install in my C drive not D

#

Let it go to like 100mb

#

But itt didn't create an Arma folder

#

and when I browse local files it takes me back to my D drive

uncut trellis Apr 23, 2020, 11:38 PM

#

why not just use the move install tool?

#

in Steam

fringe salmon Apr 23, 2020, 11:38 PM

#

nevver mind

#

i have been very, very stupid

#

I did suggest that

#

not solved yet

#

but gettingg there

#

Why does arma have to be so trash

#

I mean, did you move the hidden folder called !Workshop?

#

Within arma 3 files?

#

Yes

#

there is none

#

I think it should of moved

#

If you type in hidden folders in your search bar and make sure they are not hidden you can check

uncut trellis Apr 23, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

its not real folder

#

its a link to the workshop folder

#

but if you uninstalled and reinstalled it will need to verify all your mods

fringe salmon Apr 23, 2020, 11:52 PM

#

I am done

#

all my mods want to redownload themselves

#

Arma is messed up

#

i am just done

i'm gonna put a bullet through my head dude, without arma i'll die during coronavirus.

#

please help

#

Where do i find the !Workshop folder

uncut trellis Apr 24, 2020, 12:04 AM

#

what have you done so far?

#

did you uninstall Arma

fringe salmon Apr 24, 2020, 12:05 AM

#

no

#

im not reinstalling arma

#

no

#

at the moment i'm just having a breakdown cause I cannot find a solve for it

uncut trellis Apr 24, 2020, 12:06 AM

#

did you move the folder?

fringe salmon Apr 24, 2020, 12:06 AM

#

i moved it back to where it was originally

#

Just to clarify you moved this folder http://prntscr.com/s4xvj0

#

From common

#

Yes that folder, but it wasn't in common

#

I had just been running itt from steamapps the whole time

uncut trellis Apr 24, 2020, 12:07 AM

#

wut

fringe salmon Apr 24, 2020, 12:07 AM

#

Eh?

uncut trellis Apr 24, 2020, 12:07 AM

#

steam install all games under steamapps\common

fringe salmon Apr 24, 2020, 12:08 AM

#

That pathway from what i have shown is where it should of been

#

yes but keep in mind i didn't install it i moved it

#

and I made a mistake, and move it to steamapps, where it somehow ran from

#

it was fine up until now goddamit why did I have to ruin every single little thing

uncut trellis Apr 24, 2020, 12:09 AM

#

ok so one more time. and pay attention

#

workshop mods are not saved in the arma 3\!workshop folder

#

that is just a link to the real folder

#

however since youve been moving stuff around like that, the link brobably broke

#

and Steam has to verify your mod files

#

so it might be its not downloading them again, just checking if the files are right

#

but yes it does sound like you messed it up

#

if you want to move something in Steam you should use the steams internal mechanics for that

fringe salmon Apr 24, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

wait

#

ok

uncut trellis Apr 24, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

📎 unknown.png

#

these are links to the workshop download folder somewhere else

#

and normally the folder is hidden so you may need to turn on hidden folder visibility in Windows

fringe salmon Apr 24, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

They are but they do contain the mods? with all there content

#

I have a damn picture but it wont let me post it

sick escarp Apr 24, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

The linked folders do.

fringe salmon Apr 24, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

Yes, but i don't know if it moved the hidden folder aswell when he copied and pasted it

sick escarp Apr 24, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

It would.

fringe salmon Apr 24, 2020, 12:14 AM

#

Okay then

#

but basically it is in the right folder where arma is meant to "install" to on my SSD, but it still says it needs to download

uncut trellis Apr 24, 2020, 12:14 AM

#

📎 unknown.png

sick escarp Apr 24, 2020, 12:14 AM

Which probably broke the links.

uncut trellis Apr 24, 2020, 12:14 AM

#

the real mods are somehwere in this kind of a location

#

thats just how steam manages the workshop items

#

each game has an ID and each mod has an ID

#

I dont think Steam shows difference between downloading and verifying the files

fringe salmon Apr 24, 2020, 12:16 AM

It doesn't

@dark grail looked into your problem a bit more and like I said before, you will need to open up those ports in your win firewall. There's a video guide here on how to do it:

@fringe salmon

Why does arma have to be so trash
Thats steam doing that, not Arma

#

@uncut trellis

however since youve been moving stuff around like that, the link brobably broke
and Steam has to verify your mod files
No, steam doesn't know that !Workshop even exists.
But if he moved only the Arma folder, and not steamapps/workshop/107410 that means he didn't move the workshop mods over

uncut trellis Apr 24, 2020, 8:46 AM

#

👌 good to know. Must have been something else that happened

forest ember Apr 24, 2020, 9:27 AM

#

@fringe salmon so i reverted the ram,

#

it still blacked out

forest ember Apr 24, 2020, 9:48 AM

#

I checked inside the case as soon as it happened again,

#

all components are operational including the gpu

#

I know that something must've crashed though because the fans become quieter as soon as this happens

#

Arma and Spotify sounds play (Arma sounds don't move though, they stay in the same spatial location)

#

After a few minutes, the sound will eventually crash and make a repetitive noise which i can't describe

#

but it's the noise of the pc crashing

fringe salmon Apr 24, 2020, 9:51 AM

#

Okay back at it again

#

Reinstalled arma

#

Only one issue

#

The mods are about 120gb, arma is 40gb. I have 160gb to download off a 480gb SSD right? Meaning I would be left with 340gb, or about 300 since I have 40gb of other things. Thing is though, it allocated 130gb more than needed. Meaning that instead of 300gb being available I now only have 170gb free. Why?

#

Nvm it had all the mods in one folder and it was being stoooopid

Hello, I have port forwarded 2302, 2303 and a few steam ports that I found online in my router, (my router is not great about it so I think it's correct, I'm getting a new router in a few days}, so I started the server, and tried using port checker tools, one says that 2302 is open the other says it's closed? I don't have anyone online to try and connect atm..had no luck before with just the arma ports, I have went trough firewall and norton, it should all be allowed

boreal sequoia Apr 24, 2020, 11:55 AM

Possibly ISP blocking?

2302-2306

weary pawn Apr 24, 2020, 12:03 PM

#

Hi @boreal sequoia usually when you have your router firewall active you have to set a fix ip where port forearding is directing... and the best should be to have the upnp function active so when you host and you activate it in the settings the router is opening itself the port. After that if tou own also a software firewall you have to open same port (or the same in case you use your OS firewall...)

#

@boreal sequoia Yes as @mighty pier wrote open port from 2302 to 2306...

Why are the workshop mods in 2 folders?

uncut trellis Apr 24, 2020, 9:23 PM

I do not really know. Its possible I guess since its USB audio devices that have the problems.

Having issues specifcally with headless client: when AI are spawned on the HC machine or they are setowner'd to the HC machine they become completely responsive. The HC machine is responding to remoteExec and printing logs of functions/framehandlers/etc that are running

#

when headless is kicked, AI move to server owner and start moving/responding

behaviour is similar to if disableAI "all" was sent

@torn relic
my recommendation:
Bayerdynamic DT 770 Pro and a AntLion modmic, both on 3.5mm jacks to your onboard soundcard

#

windows has strange issues regarding USB audio devices since the fall / creators update from 2017. i could not pinpoint it down exactly, but since then the realtek audio chips and their drivers collide with USB audio devices resulting in mostly DX11 errors and general CoDs

from my experience, as soon as the title "gamer" or "gaming" is printed on headphones and if they advertise with "surround sound" or "7.x", they are just cheap crap compared to a set of studio quality stereo headphones

I've created a mission with the editor on Altis, but when I upload it to my Arch Linux dedicated server, players that join, load into Tanoa or other non-altis maps and therefore are just stuck in the ocean. Any ideas how to fix?

#

I feel like its something obvious but I can't figure it out.

#

I've tried binarizing, and doing non binarized and packaging into a pbo

#

Also I have made sure the ending is .Altis

grim tinsel Apr 25, 2020, 11:58 PM

#

anything in the rpt?

frosty crypt Apr 26, 2020, 12:02 AM

#

Nothing weird

#

it says when the second player loads in island="altis"

#

So it knows its Altis

#

so its beyond me why the other player sees it as Tanoa

weary sky Apr 26, 2020, 12:03 AM

#

is the mission made on Altis, and not just renamed?

frosty crypt Apr 26, 2020, 12:04 AM

#

Its made on Altis with the Arma 3 Editor

#

I've tried it with no mods and it still doesn't work.

#

I thought maybe it was an issue with ArchLinux being case sensitive so I tried lowercase .altis

#

but nothing works and its driving me insane

weary sky Apr 26, 2020, 12:10 AM

#

I doubt it's an issue with the mission, because there the only reference to the terrain (afaik) is the extension of the mission file.
So it sounds like an issue with the Arma 3 files, or mods which break the CfgWorlds config.

frosty crypt Apr 26, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

I've tried with no mods though and its still an issue

#

Also whats weird is any missions I download from online seem to work just fine, (They're in pbo)

#

So I'm going to try get my friend to make the mission and send it to me and see if that fixes it.

#

cause it could maybe be an issue with my arma 3 editor.

weary sky Apr 26, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

or mods used while working on the mission, since some can do some very strange things :/

frosty crypt Apr 26, 2020, 12:14 AM

#

CBA_A3, blastcore, zombies and demons, taskforce, shacktack.

weary sky Apr 26, 2020, 12:19 AM

#

well, since TFAR requires CBA you wouldn't be able to do anything... so it needs to be enabled (not sure about Z&D though), Blastcore and STUI are client-side mods, so won't break anything

#

and CBA doesn't modify anything, it's just a framework for modders

frosty crypt Apr 26, 2020, 12:19 AM

#

I'm literally going insane

#

Ok amidst the log I found ```

any ideas?

#

nothing to worry about, it's some internal error which only fills your logs but aren't harmful in any way

frosty crypt Apr 26, 2020, 12:30 AM

#

Then I'm stuck

#

I guess I can't make missions and upload them to the server then

#

OK I have finally fixed it

#

I uploaded it to the workshop, then used a workshop downloader to get the pbo

I have no idea what the issue was but it works now

i have absolutely no idea what to do.
so whenever i open arma 3 launcher, everything is normal. i can play arma 3 without battleye, but whenever i launch arma 3 with battleye enabled it just gives me a BSOD.
i really dont think my PC specs are involved in this, but I have a decent gaming rig and im able to play arma 3 with 60 fps on ultra/very high settings.
i've reinstalled battleye, ive made sure my windows is up to date, ive verified integrity of arma 3's game files, and ive restarted my computer many times.

okay so nevermind, arma 3 just uninstalled itself by itself... oof

Oh, as in the group thing. Sorry, took me a minute. I wasn't using it, and neither was the other person if I remember rightly. Do you think the error could be that if one of the players is in a unit and joins it freezes the server?

forest ember Apr 27, 2020, 11:46 AM

#

it does dedmen

#

all the other objects work fine

#

it's just that towingtractor

#

i deleted it from the mission but it's still saying it is missing

mild hazel Apr 27, 2020, 11:47 AM

#

Delete it from the Mission.sqm if its unbinarized

#

Will get rid off the error

forest ember Apr 27, 2020, 11:47 AM

#

It's not even in mission.sqm

mild hazel Apr 27, 2020, 11:47 AM

#

Oh

forest ember Apr 27, 2020, 11:47 AM

#

so idk what's wrong

quaint jewel Apr 27, 2020, 11:47 AM

#

@mild hazel yes thats what I think

#

It says its in the mission.sqm

#

logs don't lie, but humans make mistakes. Its in there.

forest ember Apr 27, 2020, 11:48 AM

#

I did ctrl + f and typed in "towing"

#

no results

mild hazel Apr 27, 2020, 11:48 AM

#

OK, just asked my friend. I'll check with him

quaint jewel Apr 27, 2020, 11:48 AM

#

maybe you are checking a different file than the one on the server

mild hazel Apr 27, 2020, 11:49 AM

#

He was in a unit, so we'll check without and see if it makes a difference

quaint jewel Apr 27, 2020, 11:50 AM

#

ping me once you have a result.
Though it could also randomly work again when units stops being down for a second

mild hazel Apr 27, 2020, 11:54 AM

#

So should I just tell him to disable units from the launcher? I haven't touched it myself so don't know what I'm doing

#

I have been having this issue for since Wednesday, has it been down that long?

forest ember Apr 27, 2020, 12:00 PM

#

what exactly am I looking for in the file dedmen

quaint jewel Apr 27, 2020, 12:00 PM

#

I think so yeah

#

you are looking for the "CUP_B_TowingTractor_USMC" I guess

#

@mild hazel its been on/off for weeks, very unreliable

forest ember Apr 27, 2020, 12:00 PM

#

I typed that into the find search box and it said no results

quaint jewel Apr 27, 2020, 12:01 PM

#

Well the mission that the server is loading has it, if you don't have it then you are looking at a different file than the server

forest ember Apr 27, 2020, 12:30 PM

#

anyone got a solution to pre-rendering objects that i cant see unless i zoom?

#

because when i zoom in, my fps drops for a second or two

quaint jewel Apr 27, 2020, 12:33 PM

#

createSimpleObject with local flag.
I once wrote a script to spawn tons of objects in my face to pre-fill my texture memory

forest ember Apr 27, 2020, 12:34 PM

#

i mean on arma in general

#

such as in other people's servers

#

others don't seem to have the same problem that i do

quaint jewel Apr 27, 2020, 12:35 PM

#

put Arma on a SSD?

forest ember Apr 27, 2020, 12:35 PM

#

oh thats probs why then

#

ye need to get an ssd

#

thanks

forest ember Apr 27, 2020, 12:55 PM

#

what does the error No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgMarkers.rhs_flag_USA' mean and how do I fix it

#

i've already launched this mission fine before

#

it's the same file and everything

#

same mods

quaint jewel Apr 27, 2020, 1:08 PM

#

that means you are missing rhs

forest ember Apr 27, 2020, 1:12 PM

#

I have:

Those are definitely loaded into the server

wise barn Apr 27, 2020, 1:13 PM

#

Then another mod is messing with the flag configs

quaint jewel Apr 27, 2020, 1:13 PM

#

Those are definitely loaded into the server
log says otherwise

forest ember Apr 27, 2020, 1:13 PM

#

but this was literally working a few days ago?

quaint jewel Apr 27, 2020, 1:13 PM

#

You now posted two errors that say "mod is missing" and both times you tell me that the mod is definitely loaded. Something doesn't add up here

forest ember Apr 27, 2020, 1:13 PM

#

could it be corruption?

quaint jewel Apr 27, 2020, 1:14 PM

#

Checked your server log to make sure they are loaded?

#

ok

well

#

The loaded mod is a folder thats not even a mod

#

that surely never worked, also not a few days ago

#

you need to list every mod that you want to load in the -mod parameter

#

So..

Today at 13:16
You gotta load Cup

I do have CUP
All of 'em

Today at 13:39
@forest ember the server does not have cup

it does dedmen
all the other objects work fine

that means you are missing rhs

I have:

@RHSAFRF
@RHSGREF
@RHSUSAF
Those are definitely loaded into the server

Yeah well. Thanks for wasting both our time

forest ember Apr 27, 2020, 1:22 PM

#

ohhh

#

yeah it worked before i put it into a folder

#

i had all the mods in the root directory

#

i frogot

#

forgot*

#

well thanks for your help

dark pumice Apr 27, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

i have an issue with hosting an arma server

#

as in

#

using the “host game” option

#

when i host a game and enable upnp

#

the server is not visible to friends in the server browser

#

this only happened a few days ago

#

before that everything worked fine

#

i think it broke when i started making and exporting scenarios from inside the server

#

you know when you host a game you have the option to open editor

#

does anyone know how to solve this?

deep gate Apr 27, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

I'm not getting any sound in arma3 64bit even after a fresh install, any ideas?

desert isle Apr 27, 2020, 2:46 PM

#

Have you ever had sound?

What kind of headset are you using?

deep gate Apr 27, 2020, 3:43 PM

#

Yes I've had sound for years, ever since 64bit was released. headset works fine on everything else. Headset is called X5-C

#

32bit works fine but just runs like garbage compared to 64bit

#

I got an error message last week about a corrupted player profile, which was round about the time sound cut out, but even after creating another profile it doesn't work

dark pumice Apr 27, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

did you verify arma files?

#

in steam?

wintry raptor Apr 27, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

hey ive been having a major problem when joining friends games, where the incorrect map will load on missions resulting in them being unplayable for me

wise barn Apr 27, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

could you be a bit more precise and detailed please?

wintry raptor Apr 27, 2020, 9:47 PM

#

i dont know how i can be

#

i joined my friends mission which was on malden

#

and it loaded stratis

#

on my side

#

i spawned mid air died and couldnt respawn

#

the maps work fine in the editor

#

ive reinstalled the game once and verified many times

check your RPT files

Crash Files

wintry raptor Apr 27, 2020, 9:51 PM

#

i never crashed though so theres no crash reports

unless im looking in the wrong place

wise barn Apr 27, 2020, 9:52 PM

#

RPT = report

wintry raptor Apr 27, 2020, 9:52 PM

#

the most recent one was earlier today from when i force closed arma 3 before fully loading due to forgetting a mod

wise barn Apr 27, 2020, 9:52 PM

#

it logs your game debug output, no matter if the game crashes or not

wintry raptor Apr 27, 2020, 9:53 PM

#

ok

#

what should the file name be called?

wise barn Apr 27, 2020, 9:53 PM

#

file name matches date and time stamp of the last game

wintry raptor Apr 27, 2020, 9:53 PM

#

ok, just really weird because the previous report was last year

#

how should I upload it?

#

since discord isnt letting me post it here do i have to open it and paste the contents into a pastebin link?

wise barn Apr 27, 2020, 9:55 PM

#

file should look like this "Arma3_x64_2020-04-24_22-11-28.rpt"
use a service like pastebin.com and copy your text data there

#

then post the link here

wintry raptor Apr 27, 2020, 9:55 PM

#

ok

#

any alternatives to pastebin that will let me post above 512 kb?

wise barn Apr 27, 2020, 9:56 PM

#

antistasi on malden?

#

or sahrani?

#

there are several attempts to load missions

wintry raptor Apr 27, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

we for sure were not playing antistasi

#

the malden one more than likely since that map consistently doesnt load in mp for me

#

line 25722 was one that loaded sahrani instead of altis

#

the mission worked fine for everyone else

wise barn Apr 27, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

you where trying to load a mission on sahrani that got canceled for Skipping mods and signatures due to overflow flag being set., then it booted to altis
you where def. trying to load up antistasi.
well, for troubleshooting sake, launch a vanilla server with a vanilla mission and try to connect to that first

wintry raptor Apr 27, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

what the hell it shouldnt be trying to load antistasi hmm

wise barn Apr 27, 2020, 10:08 PM

the mission on malden you where trying to run, what was it?

wintry raptor Apr 27, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

I didn’t run a Malden mission yesterday

#

I did before reinstall about a week ago now

#

it was one of the coxhound missions, it loaded tanoa instead of Malden

wise barn Apr 27, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

well, no matter what:

wintry raptor Apr 27, 2020, 10:17 PM

#

Only I’ve had this problem and no one else in that community

wise barn Apr 27, 2020, 10:17 PM

#

if you load a mission, only run the needed mods for it. nothing more

#

on the server and local

wintry raptor Apr 27, 2020, 10:18 PM

#

yeah that’s usually what we do

#

On that one Malden mission the only difference was TFAR but that was a test of TFAR and we haven’t used it since

wise barn Apr 27, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

is the malden mission made by yourself?

wintry raptor Apr 27, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

No but I know who made it

#

and any of the missions with the “cox” prefix

#

he is also in this discord if you want me to @ him

wise barn Apr 27, 2020, 10:22 PM

#

well, load only this mission and only the really required mods for it. make sure no mission cycle is activated. start you game with all needed mods and try to connect. if it fails, check local and server RPT files for massive errors like "missing mods", "mismatch", ect

wintry raptor Apr 27, 2020, 10:29 PM

#

uhhhhhh

#

the missions not appearing in the list

#

Oh boy I know what this means, means reinstalling didn’t fully fix it awesome

wise barn Apr 27, 2020, 10:30 PM

#

if the vanilla mission loaded up fine on the server, the server itself is fine

#

check server RPT

wintry raptor Apr 27, 2020, 10:31 PM

no im not subscribed to it thats why

#

woops sorry

#

works fine

#

me not having the missions installed may be the cause i have a feeling

wise barn Apr 27, 2020, 10:37 PM

#

you don't need the mission locally. once you connect to the server it will be transmitted to you

wintry raptor Apr 27, 2020, 10:38 PM

#

hmm

#

so should i close the game and post the rpt?

wise barn Apr 27, 2020, 10:39 PM

#

are you hosting the server local?

wintry raptor Apr 27, 2020, 10:40 PM

#

#

non-dedicated

wise barn Apr 27, 2020, 10:41 PM

#

restart the server first and send me the server RPT file, not the local RPT file

wintry raptor Apr 27, 2020, 10:43 PM

#

would it be the ones labelled "arma3server_date"

wise barn Apr 27, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

no idea how the server is set up. if the file ending is .RPT, most likely

wintry raptor Apr 27, 2020, 10:44 PM

#

its hosted ingame, not dedicated

#

since the last one of those files is from 2015

#

yeah theres only one for just "Arma3_x64"

wise barn Apr 27, 2020, 10:49 PM

#

i just asked you if you are hosting the server local = your computer

#

so you do host it on your computer?

wintry raptor Apr 27, 2020, 10:49 PM

#

OH

yeah

#

hello

#

so my mod is signed and has key inside key folder

#

but an user is reporting that the key is not working

#

how can I get this key to work?

weary sky Apr 28, 2020, 12:32 AM

#

so all PBO's are signed and have a .bisign file, and you have a keys folder next to the addons folder with the .bikey file in it (which obviously matches the signed files)

fringe salmon Apr 28, 2020, 12:32 AM

#

yes

weary sky Apr 28, 2020, 12:34 AM

#

And what is the exact report/error from that user? Because it could be a broken key or user error by using the bikey file incorrectly on the server...

fringe salmon Apr 28, 2020, 12:34 AM

#

he/she just says key is broken

#

I tried a new key

#

by replacing the old key

#

he/she still says its broken

#

I also signed the files with the new key

weary sky Apr 28, 2020, 12:38 AM

#

When you generate a key you'll get a .biprivatekey, this you use to sign your PBO's and generate both the client (.bisign) and server (.bikey) key files.
When you did this correctly, and all files have been signed, it should work without a problem.

fringe salmon Apr 28, 2020, 12:38 AM

#

hmm

#

maybe I used my .bikey to sign the files because of sleep deprivation?

#

I also have a folder called optionals with old .bisigns

#

but does that affect anything?

peak nova Apr 28, 2020, 12:40 AM

Hello everyone. I've got a bit of a problem with my Arma 3, well it might be more of a Steam problem but any help would be highly appreciated.

Basically Steam has broken up with my Arma 3 and won't even speak to it LOL. My Steam tells me to Install Arma but i have the game already installed, in fact it still runs. I can't verify the files because steam won't recognise that it is installed even though workshop content is being downloaded. I can't 'install' Arma because I currently don't have the hdd space to do so. I honestly don't know what to do.

fringe salmon Apr 28, 2020, 12:40 AM

#

"can't install steam"

#

when you start download it should start discovering files

#

it doesn't do that even?

#

Only if the pathway is correct

#

This sounds like a pathway issue

peak nova Apr 28, 2020, 12:43 AM

#

I don't have enough hdd space to 'install' the game. And I can't afford to redownload it, net is pretty expensive here

fringe salmon Apr 28, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

So basically what you are saying is you have all your mods and the base game and can still launch it, but if you do it through steam it says no?

peak nova Apr 28, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

Yes

#

I have taken some screens if its okay to post

fringe salmon Apr 28, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

I don't see why not, go for it

peak nova Apr 28, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

Can't in this chat

fringe salmon Apr 28, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

Would like to figure out the location of arma and also where steam thinks it is

peak nova Apr 28, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

Steam thinks its not there

fringe salmon Apr 28, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

do you ever go to the workshop folder?

peak nova Apr 28, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

Arma 3 - Properties disk usage says 'none'

fringe salmon Apr 28, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

There should be a button that says change location or something?

peak nova Apr 28, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

No, I don't touch it

fringe salmon Apr 28, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

"Move install folder"

#

ok, in case you could have accidentally moved arma 3 somewhere else while going there

#

Make sure both match and you should be good

#

The workshop folder is a link to another folder, makes no difference

peak nova Apr 28, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

I'm looking through Arma 3 properties and I don't see the option to move install folder

fringe salmon Apr 28, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

Hmmm

#

Okay here's an idea

peak nova Apr 28, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

All the options in 'Local Files' tab are greyed out

fringe salmon Apr 28, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

Go to install it but set the same pathway to where it currently is

#

It should see it's there and verify

#

thats a great idea

#

Should be something like this http://prntscr.com/s736ei

peak nova Apr 28, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

Thats my biggest issue,I can't get past the first step in the install dialog

fringe salmon Apr 28, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

It doesn't allow you to set a pathway?

peak nova Apr 28, 2020, 12:51 AM

#

No, I need enough hdd space to get past the first step of the installer

fringe salmon Apr 28, 2020, 12:51 AM

#

But if you set the pathway of the existing location of arma then you shouldn't have a problem

#

DM what you see

peak nova Apr 28, 2020, 12:52 AM

wise barn Apr 28, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

from a post i found on the interwebz
this error occurs when a local item has a networked, global, command issued on it. CreateVehicleLocal -> setPos, SetDir, etc. since the object is local to a single player, and as such is non-networked, you receive this message in your rpt.

toxic valve Apr 28, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

but not clear what i can make i found it to

wise barn Apr 28, 2020, 2:12 PM

#

If you deleteVehicle a unit that was created with createVehicleLocal, this will happen. Not a bug. Just a warning.

Is there any fix for the Jets Ejection seat sound being at full volume in spectator, even when the plane is far away? It is really jarring to hear.

weary sky Apr 28, 2020, 5:30 PM

my comment from other channel still applies ;)

does that also apply in vanilla Arma, or is it modded?

half notch Apr 28, 2020, 6:56 PM

Seem so. I assume this would fix it:
_ejectionSeat say3D [_ejectionSoundExt, 50];
Basically add the max distance limit

#

Is it possible to owerride the vanilla script? I would be perfectly happy with a simple fix that I can make myself

queen folio Apr 28, 2020, 10:23 PM

#

Ok, so the respawn issue is fixed, thanks to @weary sky for picking that one up.

However, when a player dies and respawns, I, as Zeus, Crash to desktop.
Difficult to reproduce, but if it happens it happens at every player respawn and destroys our Zeus ops as a result.
Not sure exactly where the issue lies, has anyone heard of anything like this before?

mild hazel Apr 28, 2020, 11:21 PM

@quaint jewel i know you told me to ping you regarding the Server freezing error. After trying to get the server sorted and testing on an even further stripped back mission file, the Units thing does not work

#

the server fps will just keep dropping until eventually it hits single digits and then just freezes

does it normally take a long time for unit insignias to show up in-game? made a new one, and it took almost a day for the clan tag to showup. the insignia still isn't showing up

Arma 3 Units?

stable silo Apr 29, 2020, 10:51 AM

yep. insignia is showing up in in-game profile, but not in-game uniform. tested with all default uniforms, and tried hopping over to my old unit too just to make sure that insignias are loading

Arma 3 Units is currently broke-ish. probably related

You dont need to update if you launch without going through steam

So maybe the server needs an update

Everyone. Needs. To. Update.

it doesn't say missing

read what it really says

and install the last update from today, and have the server updated too

it says

Verifying PBO failed: expansion\addons\missions_f_oldman.pbo

quaint jewel Apr 29, 2020, 4:12 PM

Yep I know that.
As I said, make sure client and server are on the same version

well then its something else?

tried loading that, doesn't let me

#

will do

torn mauve Apr 29, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

Also make sure you updated client & server to the latest hotfix

#

🙂

#

You might have to use validate tag on steamcmd..

#

As that fixed my error

#

HostHavoc support is super friendly.. I don't usually recommend their services though as they are a rip off

#

But meh

torn bridge Apr 29, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

Mainly went there for the mod support

torn mauve Apr 29, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

So what I'm saying is make a support ticket with them maybe

#

Ah

torn bridge Apr 29, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

cuz most others only fit 10gb

#

which is... not even enough for RHS

torn mauve Apr 29, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

Bad hosts then

#

Buy a dedicated server

#

Then you can do whatever and run multiple servers

torn bridge Apr 29, 2020, 5:20 PM

#

Well, that is slightly above budget

fringe salmon Apr 29, 2020, 5:20 PM

#

Ha Host Havoc, sorry to jump in boys raising a support ticket is your best bet. As for a host i recommend Armahosts

torn mauve Apr 29, 2020, 5:20 PM

#

I recommend soyoustart which is an OVH company

#

super good rates

#

Its around $45

torn bridge Apr 29, 2020, 5:20 PM

#

a month?

torn mauve Apr 29, 2020, 5:20 PM

#

for a 32GB

#

yeh

#

Its pretty good

#

😄

torn bridge Apr 29, 2020, 5:20 PM

#

now paying 20 for 64gb

torn mauve Apr 29, 2020, 5:21 PM

#

ah but thats for one server

#

😄

#

but fair

#

if you are a small test server.. I understand

#

Then again actually.. I may be grandfathered in at this point so I get lower rates

#

^^

#

But I bulk buy so idk

fringe salmon Apr 29, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

Armahosts has a good deal, unlimited everything and if you pay yearly you get a 50% discount

If I want to load a mission, do I load the folder with the mission in it or the sqm or pbo itself?

fringe salmon Apr 29, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

Do you know why when I playtest mission on local server I can see player slots ( i can see playerslots), but I cannot see them on dedicated server ( i cannot see playerslots)?

#

@torn bridge You should be selecting your mission within the game itself, your mission pbo should be in the MPmissions folder

torn bridge Apr 29, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

Can the mission also be a .sqm?

#

Cuz thats what my editor produced

fringe salmon Apr 29, 2020, 5:55 PM

Hello guys, kinda weird question here..

I am new to arma moddeling and was setting up my P drive. Which resulted in me doing it wrong first try ofcourse 🙂 I mounted it on the wrong location. I have now done it right so that's issue nr1 solved. BUT:

The files which were listed on the old P drive location are probably gone now since the whole P drive got replaced. What does this mean towards the old files inside this folder? are they gone? if so are they deleted from my PC or are they floating somewere ..

Hopefully someone here knows the awnser to this..

weary sky Apr 29, 2020, 7:40 PM

#

The P: drive is nothing more than a symlink, so the files on this "drive" still exist somewhere on your hard drive(s).

solemn tendon Apr 29, 2020, 7:42 PM

#

Ah I found them. They were indeed located in the default Arma 3 Projects folder

#

I'll just copy and paste everything from here to the new folder and pray for the best

I have a problem regarding game versions, for some odd reason I'm stuck in v1.82 and I don't quite know how to fix it. Keep in mind I play on Linux (Pop_OS 19.10) and downloaded the game only a few hours ago.

@quaint jewel having everyone disable their unit from the launcher didn't work either. And the server has a bunch of missions on, but this problem only happens for mission. I tried using your script profiler to see if I could spot if anything was sending loads of network traffic, but I couldn't figure it out

i doubt its network traffic

Anyone know how to fix that ammo autofill bug? The one where the inventory you're modifying has all of it's space taken up by one type of magazine, and if you try to lower it you can't remove more than one of them. Tried unequipping everything and then putting it all back on, didn't work, and since I'm playing DRO I can't just exit and restart.

People who are having the same issue as me with the "missing installed files" do you have 2 separate drives?

#

That PBO is from the Apex expansion.

#

I think so, just make sure that there is a .bikey file alongside the pbo in your arma 3 installation.

#

Worse case scenario just delete the pbo & bikey and then let steam verify the installation

Anyone had the problem where the darter gunner camera is greyed out and unusable while all other drones can be used regardless of choosing pilot or gunner?

steady hawk May 2, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

Maybe press N?

zenith plume May 2, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

Any changes were made in last patches to HCs? Using last profiling version.
My HC is unable to spawn anything, no changes were done to the mission itself. It worked in dev 1.99. Also many of mission players had the errors in log, something like this:

 Mission id: adf84a2459a8a1404bfdd1d37ec629a30ebe2fa2
Error in expression <};
_leader = _possibleLeaders select 0;
_leader setvariable ["BIS_HC_scope",_log>
  Error position: <_leader setvariable ["BIS_HC_scope",_log>
  Error Undefined variable in expression: _leader
File A3\modules_f\HC\data\scripts\hc.sqf..., line 71
Attempt to override final function - bis_fnc_storeparamsvalues_data```

Also, I can't understand the logic of the next behavior.
I need to compare two arrays, here is what I get in console output:
The first one:
["LIB_GrWr34",[],[["FakeWeapon",[-1],1,1.00047e+007,2],["LIB_8Rnd_81mmHE_GRWR34",[0],8,1.0005e+007,2],["LIB_8Rnd_81mmHE_GRWR34",[0],8,1.0005e+007,2]],[],[[],[]]]
The second one:
["LIB_GrWr34",[],[["FakeWeapon",[-1],1,1.00047e+007,2],["LIB_8Rnd_81mmHE_GRWR34",[0],8,1.0005e+007,2],["LIB_8Rnd_81mmHE_GRWR34",[0],8,1.0005e+007,2]],[],[[],[]]]
One assembles from other arrays, the other one is solid.
It is not equal (isEqualTo returns false), but I can't understand why. If I set variables with values showed above, it is equal.
The code example (it is for saving ACE cargo):

private _item = vehicle player;
private _weapons = weaponsItemsCargo _item; 
private _ammo = if (_item isKindOf "StaticWeapon") then {magazinesAllTurrets _item} else {getMagazineCargo _item}; 
private _items = getItemCargo _item; 
private _backpacks = backpackCargo _item;

private _cargo = [["LIB_GrWr34",[],[["FakeWeapon",[-1],1,1.00047e+007,2],["LIB_8Rnd_81mmHE_GRWR34",[0],8,1.0005e+007,2],["LIB_8Rnd_81mmHE_GRWR34",[0],8,1.0005e+007,2]],[],[[],[]]]];

_find = [typeof _item,_weapons,_ammo,_backpacks,_items]; 
_cargo select 0 isEqualTo _find; //returns false```

Whenever I try to edit my Arma Profile in game, when I press "Apply" or "Discard" it just crashes my game with no log. I've re installed, done it without mods, delete the profiles, deleted the Mission files, still crashes.

I am having issues with running headless in any capacity on the Tanoa terrain. It becomes unresponsive to even targeted remotexec or the debug console watch. It is responsive on all other terrains (vanilla, CUP) Is anyone else encountering this?

Anyone know why I'm stuck on "Loading addons" with NO addons except for vanilla dlcs... I attached my rpt and my system specs for this machine is:

32GB of DDR4 Ram
Intel Xeon Gold 6254 Processor

https://pastebin.com/8HcB5T7e

quaint jewel May 3, 2020, 6:32 PM

#

it didn't even start loading addons

#

-enableHT don't do that.
-name=none whats that? thats a weird name? did you mean you don't want a custom name?

torn mauve May 3, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

The name one is the profile name

#

None = Profile with no addons in it

#

I disabled enableHT and same result

quaint jewel May 3, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

also tried with filePatching disabled?

I'm attempting to move it off C:/

quaint jewel May 3, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

installed via SteamCMD? Have you tried to let it verify the game files?

torn mauve May 3, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

since C is a hdd which may be the issue

#

I have verified the files.. Steam CMD always returns "Successfully validated"

#

I'm pretty sure its just that harddrive going bad now

#

Because the transfer from it to the new drive is legit 2mb/ps

#

Insanely slow...

#

Sorry to bother you guys..
