When pressing “play scenario” on Eden editor, if I have been editing for about 10 minutes and haven’t pressed play scenario, when i try to it has me stuck in a endless loading screen.

#

how to fix low fps when there are many units visible?

uncut trellis
#

I dont think there is a fix for that

#

use less units maybe

fringe salmon
#

So are steam achievements broken or what

#

Just did all the go-kart time trials on gold and it actually took a little bit of time to do so as the night time one is hard and after all that work I get no achievment wtf?

ConfusedDog why are you asking a DayZ question on the arma discord? Ask it on the DayZ discord @cinder dock

I am having a strange issue, while driving a tank. Once I switch to gunner or pick it as my Player class, when I switch to main Cannon I can't change the ammunition type when normally I should be Able to switch to heat or he by using the Mouse wheel down. Now I can only see "Move to commander/ driver seat", turn out, eject, get out options but nothing that would allow me to change the Shell type. What can cause this? I use only rhs mods, Ace and maps. IT is even happening on vanilla. The thing is that I did not bind this action to any key. even on new profile switching shell type doesn't appear. Where can I find it in options? Maybe it will help me when I know where to look. It was working fine when I was uninstalling ArmA some time ago and started happening after reinstall. Perhaps new update messed up something? It is annoying since an event for my clan is closing in and I'm a gunner :/

fringe salmon
#

@willow prawn which tank

willow prawn
#

@fringe salmon all tanks

fringe salmon
#

errr thats wierd, try with just RHS and see if that happens

#

Havent used ace, so idk if that can mess with it

#

My guess from googling is since ace is realism, maybe you cant change ammo type while a shells loaded? No idea tbh

#

try shooting a shot and see if you can change shell

#

Unlikely to be ace otherwise there would be a lot of complaints about it, as for the error have you tried a new profile/ reinstall. Double check the key binds

#

^hes prob right, Can you even remove binds like that from scroll wheel?

#

Plus that link is real life, not Arma 3. The only vehicle that requires the "chamber" to be empty is some of the russian vics from rhs

#

Think the T-80/ 90

#

I have never messed around with the controls i am afraid, so i have no clue in that regard.

willow prawn
#

Tried without ACE and any other mods, simply switched to vanilla and it is still happening. Verified files integridy and here we go again. I don't know if there is a key binding for this in options. I switched to different control presets, from ARmA3 to ArmA3 apex and still nothing. Now I am afraid that I might have to do a reinstal but it souds stupid because the game runs perfect and everything beside this issue runs well too

willow prawn
#

Tried a new profile and still the same situation. Maybe I should reinstal

willow prawn
#

Just discovered a funny thing. Once I used all available shells for an basic ammo type loaded with a spawned tank (checked it with RHS unit because of the low ammo capacity) the options "reload HE/HEAT" suddenly appeared but once I loaded one of those 2 ammo types I again had no chance to change it whenever I want because the options disappeared from the action list., therefore I think it is no use for me to reinstall the game since there is something in the mechanics. Sorry for posting this all the time but I just find it so annyoing especially when I am a gunner for the upcoming tank event for my clan and in case of bigger infantry groups, using SABOT vs inantry sounds just stupid and not always there will be an opportunity to use a MG

#

hey, what exactly do you mean?
Or rahter... what? xD
I am confused, sorry... just woke up xDD

fringe salmon
#

I have issue with Arma mods,i had to download all of my mod all over again and afther it finished i got error that says: "Missing downloaded files"

uncut trellis
#

it is a Steam bug

desert isle
fringe salmon
#

Are steam achievements known to be bugged?

#

I am reading posts of people having issues and there is no solution to be found anywhere on the internet

weary sky
#

If you use mods than most of them won't work

fringe salmon
#

Its a fresh install of the game I did yesterday havent played in over a year

#

and no mods installed

#

any other ideas?

weary sky
#

Could be a Steam API issue (which is not rare), or a bug in the activation.
Although since I don't really care about achievements I never noticed anything

#

You could try to create a new profile (in case you still have an old one) and see if anything unlocks. Since there might be some (still) broken.

fierce snow
#

Hey for some reason there are no roles shown for me in this mission, and in one other one as well. https://prnt.sc/savc90

#

everything is set to playable

grim tinsel
#

Missing mods most likely @fierce snow

fringe salmon
#

Ugh this is annoying

#

Restarted the game and steam, no mods running, redid all the challenges again getting gold stars in each no achievment for it

#

Why even have them in the game if they are broken?

grim tinsel
#

Propably since they werent always broken

#

be sure to check if theres a feedback tracker ticket for that and if there isnt one be sure to create one

fringe salmon
#

Theres post about this exact issue spanning both months and years

grim tinsel
#

on the feedback tracker?

fringe salmon
#

Ill make a ticket sure but I doubt itll ever be something that gets looked into since it seems most people dont care for collecting achievments

fringe salmon
#

When I try to join my own MP server pops out "Connecting Failed" what may be a problem?

raven dust
#

@fringe salmon the port may be

#

I have a question about TFR, and since I can’t find info anywhere else I ask here. When in game, I will randomly switch out of the TFR channel, sometimes it crashes my game. Then I switch back to the TFR channel and game goes to 30-60 frames running fine, then 5 or less minutes later it does it again. It makes the game almost unplayable in multiplayer. Anyone know how to fix it? Every milsim requires task force radio and I can barely play.

tired sable
#

anyone know why people would be getting a "connecting failed" error when joining after starting a server?

quaint jewel
#

@raven dust I think you mean TFAR?
If so, thats not TFAR's fault. It switches you out because the game froze, not the other way around.
TFAR is not freezing your game, the game freezing is causing issues with TFAR.

narrow reef
#

anyone know why people would be getting a "connecting failed" error when joining after starting a server?
@tired sable

Are you running the same mods as the server?

Are you running mods the server does not allow?

Are your mods on the server up to date?

Those are a few reasons.

#

Hey for some reason there are no roles shown for me in this mission, and in one other one as well. https://prnt.sc/savc90
@fierce snow

Did you make the mission? If so, did you exceed the max number of groups on the map?

fierce snow
#

I did the mission, but No definitely not @narrow reef

#

Its maybe 15 units max

narrow reef
#

Do you have a player? Not just playable? @fierce snow

fierce snow
#

Hmm, i'm not sure

earnest talon
#

So I'm having an issue with port forwarding a server, Where i would get the error that it didn't work, I use at&t (Yes bully me all you want) and I have no idea what I'm doing

wise barn
#

1: does your ISP allow port forwarding?
2: does your ISP provide you with real IPv4 (required) and not DSlite IPv4?

earnest talon
#

One, Yes, And two, I'm not even sure what that means

#

My main problem is that I really don't know how to port forward

weary sky
wise barn
#

real IPv4 (your internet IP adress looks like xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) means all your data is transmitted over IPv4 from your router to your ISP / datacenter. DSlite IPv4 means, that your IPv4 connections are tunneled in a IPv6 lane from your router to your ISP / datacenter. the last does not work with arma server aplications.
contact your ISP and find out

fringe salmon
#

I tried EVERYTHING to fix error i have with Arma 3 workshop, "missing downloaded files" and i cant fix this,can someone help me please?

#

Reinstall your mods, verify game's cache?

#

i did that 2 times

#

didnt work

quaint jewel
#

Steam workshop is broken

#

currently

fringe salmon
#

oh ok

#

will it get fixed soon?

quaint jewel
#

Don't know

quaint jewel
#

Ah! neat

fringe salmon
#

Explains basically everything of the issue

#

Also ded, have you seen the Australian bohemian's office?

#

i also did that

quaint jewel
#

We don't have a Australian office

fringe salmon
#

For the simulations branch

#

BIS

quaint jewel
#

We have no simulations branch

#

thats a different company

fringe salmon
#

Oh wait what?

#

So it's not a sister company to interactive?

quaint jewel
#

no

#

completely seperated

fringe salmon
#

ooh

#

"A new division called Bohemia Interactive Simulations was created, and later spun off and became a standalone business entity."

#

Do you have a player? Not just playable? @fierce snow
@narrow reef Also it says that its 0 players and not 64 as it should be https://prnt.sc/sbas8z

Hello 🙃

#

I have a problem with difficulty

#

We change difficulty on our server

#

But, it doesn't work from the VPS launcher

#

Then, I tried to modify the mission, but it doesn't work too

#

Any idea?

narrow reef
#

@fierce snow when in the editor is one of your playable units marked as “player?”

fierce snow
#

it wasn't but then i did

#

but still didnt work

#

hey guys anyone avaible for support rn

narrow reef
#

@fierce snow So let me understand-you built the mission and are hosting it.

Are you hosting from a separate server or from your own machine?

If from a server, does the server have the terrain mod you are using? Correct mod string? Updated mods?

Whatever mods you had running when you built the mission are what need to be running on the server as well.

misty hinge
#

hey guys im haveing a hard time finding this mod that i get an error saying ausbuildings requires aus sounds but i cant find aus sounds anywere if anyone can help me that would be great thanks from csimms

quaint jewel
#

Server is missing mods, just look at the log, it says what mods are missing

#

@misty hinge sounds like that would be in the exact same mod as ausbuildings, its the same prefix so probably related

#

maybe your download corrupted or smth

@narrow reef
It's on a dedicated server on my machine.
And it should have all the mods except a few clientside mods that i didnt put

misty hinge
#

@quaint jewel can u send me a link to ausbuildings i cant find it for some reason on steam

quaint jewel
#

ausbuildings requires aus sounds That error means you already have ausbuildings

#

just look inside your mods

misty hinge
#

ok

quaint jewel
#

And it should have all the mods except a few clientside mods that i didnt put
Well it pretty obviously doesn't @fierce snow
I had someone telling me the same last week, saying he checked twice and guarantees the mods are there, after asking for the logfile for the 5th time he finally sent it to me.. And... He was missing mods, all mods in fact.

Hello and good day to you all, I am currently experiencing a problem when launching my server bat file, it launches correctly HOWEVER upnp only works on the first run, when I close it and restart it it will fail everytime. I have of course made sure my Router allows UPNP and have double checked the firewall settings to make sure nothing is being blocked, I do not know why this keeps happening, please can anyone advise?

trim lintel
#

@fierce snow im having the same problem. find a solution?

fierce snow
#

@trim lintel apparently

For me its because of a missing mod

@trim lintel i'd think its something on the server side

You reinstalled Arma 3 right? Is your computer the same with the before?

@hollow mica did u check the in game audio settings, i realize this is obvious and probaably isnt the problem but it doesnt hurt to check

is it just arma audio u dont get?

@hollow mica do you get audio in other games? Are you using headphones?

Yeah, I tried DCS , Audio working fine, Just in arma

wireless?

hollow mica

I tried with headphones and doesnt work in arma but works in other games

elder sand
#

are they on and plugged in when launching the game?

wise barn
#

USB audio connection or 3.5mm audio jack?

hollow mica
#

I dont have them plugged in , I tried using my monitor audio which is louder and it didnt work

wise barn
#

so, digital audio

#

meh

#

got headphones with 3.5mm jack?

hollow mica
#

I tried that

#

My audio was working in arma until I reinstalled Windows

#

Ive tried re installing the game

wise barn
#

arma uses the default audio output for game audio.
plug in your phones
set your phones output (onboard) as default
start the game

hollow mica
#

I have

wise barn
#

i said plug in your headphones to the computer 3.5mm output. no digital audio

#

and try

#

set that as default

#

not your monitor

hollow mica
#

Ok I did it

wise barn
#

launch the game

hollow mica
#

Still got no audio

wise barn
#

look up your motherboard
go to the manufacture website
download all drivers and install them manually. NEVER let windows auto install your drivers

hollow mica
#

Cant be a driver issue when audio works in other games

wise barn
#

it can

#

trust me... it really can

hollow mica
#

All my drivers up to date

wise barn
#

did you really manually download ALL drivers and install them? no matter if there are already drivers installed??

hollow mica
#

I tried motherboard driver , I got latest driver for that

wise barn
#

out of ideas... it is for sure a windows / driver issue
MS 🦆ed up hard with the 2017 creators update. a lot of older applications and games have audio issues since then.
i'm out of ideas

oof

hey everyone, so with some try and error ive found then whenever i place an mcc module in the mission and the try and play said mission none of the slots for people to play as show up, thoughts?

still raptor
#

had a friend that recently had an audo issue like that, worked in some games but not others. Few months back he installed windows 10 fresh. Never manually installed chipset drivers, complained about positional audio in games that did work. Simply installing his chip set drivers and audio drivers fixed his issue.

I have an issue with the mission eventhandler handleDisconnect, when i ask the side of the disconnected unit (side _unit) it returns civilian even though the unit unit is a west unit. For all other factions it works just well

#

just wanted to ask if anyone has made the same experience

quaint jewel
#

the unit is probably already half-gone when the EH runs

#

try side group _unit maybe

hazy yoke
#

ill try

#

doesnt work either, ill find a workaround

hazy yoke
#

@quaint jewel somehow the side command allways returns civ if i use it on an object hat has been given as argument in a remoteExec

#

if i give the player object from one player to the hc, the side command becomes unreliable

#

But if i only give the player id to the hc and then get the unit object from the playableUnits array on the hc, the side command works just fine

quaint jewel
#

I thought you were talking about disconnect handler?

hazy yoke
#

yeah

quaint jewel
#

how is there remoteExec in the mix?

hazy yoke
#

it wasnt then

#

My complete framework stopped working due to this error

#

i just first saw it not working correctly in the eventhandler

#

Like that:

#

//File 1 (run on player)
_pSide = playerside; //returns WEST
[player] remoteExec ["HC_fnc_test", HC];

//File test (runs on HC)
_unit = param [0, objNull];
_pSide = side _unit; //returns CIV

#

Its like that since the old mans dlc

Currently this mod https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=743099837
When installed with key in the proper folder, causes every mod on my server to show up as mismatch, I reinstalled the mod+key and it still has the same error, Can anyone provide some good troubleshooting steps? Ive also installed a different mod and got it to work properly (without the hornet mod loaded), so Is it possible something is wrong with the mod itself?

Screenshot of all the mismatch ---> https://gyazo.com/48582a8737733e52f5cfa7abafb464b8

@fierce snow Not sure, I contacted mod author and he has no idea whats going on,

fierce snow
#

It's not the same mod.

fringe salmon
#

The keys are also different for the mods soooo idk whats going on

fierce snow
#

the name in the launcher is FA-18 Super Hornet

fringe salmon
#

Yea thats what I was saying, I was thinking maybe steams not working properly rn and that could be the issue

#

I tried Loading the beta one to also made all mods mismatch

fierce snow
#

and the key's name is tetet.bikey

fringe salmon
#

Right, thats whats on the dedi

fierce snow
#

hm, that's weird then.

fringe salmon
#

i also tried loading both at once to see what happens, no luck there

#

I actually broke my dedi trying to upload it from my workshop folder to the server without ftp to see if the version on my PC fixes it

#

completely frozen lol

quaint jewel
#

Screenshot of all the mismatch
@fringe salmon did you read the red bar at the top?

#

@fringe salmon a logfile of a Arma run that was launched with -noLogs isn't particularly useful

#

Also

fringe salmon
#

Yes, Not sure why mods might be missing, as theres no dependancies listed, and also do signatures=Bikey?

quaint jewel
#

that guy seems to not really know what he's doing, just looking at the start parameters

-noSplash -nologs -exthreads 4 -maxMem=4096 -cpuCount=4 -cpuCount=7 -exThreads=7 -enableHT -hugePages -noLogs -noPause
exthreads one is syntax error, maxMem is BAD!, cpuCount is bad and set twice, exThreads is bad and twice, enableHT is bad, nologs is twice

#

get rid of exthreads, maxmem,cpucount,enableHT,noLogs

#

@fringe salmon Did you actually read the message? the first sentence till the semicolon

#

The server cannot transmit all data. The launcher doesn't get all data. The launcher doesn't even know what signatures your server has, so it cannot even check if a signature matches or doesn't

#

There is a limit of how much data the Arma server can transmit to the launcher.
If you have too much data, and it doesn't fit, some of the data is cut off, and the launcher tells you about it.
That will get fixed in next Arma update, has been a problem for years

fringe salmon
#

yeah I saw that im just not sure personal failure to set up the server correctly or the mod itself

quaint jewel
#

neither

#

You have too many mods and signatures, it doesn't fit

#

not caused by any specific mod. And also doesn't mean that your signatures are missmatching

fringe salmon
#

ah alright cool thanks for the response I was pulling hair over this one

quaint jewel
#

watch performance/profiling branch. Fix for that soon-ish. Just need to type it out

fringe salmon
#

defo will, although ive never messed with them before, wonder if ill break something trying to switch thonk

It always tells me that it can't find \pics\outoforder.jpg when i get into the mission.
Is there something wrong with the path or with the picture maybe?

quaint jewel
#

also without leading \ ?

fierce snow
#

yep

quaint jewel
#

gotta wait for some mission maker that knows this stuff. Looks fine for me if the file is really in the mission pbo/folder

fierce snow
#

MissionFolder > pics

#

thats where it is

quaint jewel
#

yeah seems right to me

fierce snow
#

I also tried converting it into a .paa file, but i don't understand the ImageToPaa tool

#

it always give's me an error

quaint jewel
#

image needs to be power of two size
aka 1024x1024 or 512x512 or 512x1024 or 2048x256
something like that

fierce snow
#
Checking 'outoforder' - has an incorrect file size
File list checked.
quaint jewel
#

yep

#

what i wrote

fierce snow
#

yeah..

#

so another picture or so

fringe salmon
#

arma 3 not responding and wont enter

#

#

and i have my parameters set

fierce snow
#

I got another picture and now it works. Thanks though!

So- I've got a strange bug going on with the server a community I'm in plays on

#

Essentially, when someone joins the server, they load in, they get the standard "error no bin config" dialogue box we're all used to by now

#

everyone that is currently loaded into the server resets their stance to standing

#

Even if you're in a pilot slot- Now you're standing in the cockpit, head poking out

#

We're dismantling any changes we've made since we started experiencing this and are kinda just firing wildly at this point

#

Has anyone heard of this, experienced this, or are we just gonna have to continue going mod by mod seeing what mod or script is misfiring

sturdy tangle
#

Hey, anyone got reccomended server network settings for over 50 players?

#

We have a 1GB line to the server

#

But I haven't touched the Network settings for the Arma Server

#

@quaint jewel How do I configure it correctly?

so Hi guys i got a little question. I have a problem with my server i cant run any custom mission on my server not on Altis or on any custom map i just installed the mods and just put the parameters on the server but if my unit members spawn they spawn in the water and if they die they change into an ace spectator on the ground but they are not able to select a spawn point or anything else. i tried respawn on position but it doesnt work either so i´m asking you guys for help. If you have any solution feel free to text me.

Let me start with: I know mods are definitely the source of the error, as it's 100% reproducible with and the error references a mod file that cannot be found. The file is definitely found in the path listed, however.

Error: CTD immediately on trying to start a local MP server with missions that include the mod/file. Not reproducible in Editor. I.e. Starting a multiplayer server through the 3den editor functions correctly 100% of the time. Starting through the Multiplayer --> Host CTD immediately. Running #missions on a dedicated MP server also CTD. File is referenced with #include z\path and error message is Cannot find file.hpp in z\path

Exception code: 0x0000DEAD

Have .rpt logs and .bidmp from non-dedicated machine and .mdmp from both. Can probably get all three from a third machine in <12 hours.

quaint jewel
#

referenced in description.ext?

#

pbo generated via 3den?

sick escarp
#

Yes. Yes.

quaint jewel
#

Thats broken

#

cannot include mod content from description ext currently

sick escarp
#

Did that change recently? Haven't had this issue until fairly recent.

#

Been working for at least a couple years with the current reference is why I ask.

quaint jewel
#

since 3DEN release afaik

#

atleast I have reports from back then, reaching all the way till today

sick escarp
#

Huh. wonder why it only stopped now. In any case, what are the references that are disallowed, just any #include from mod content, or did you mean include more generally?

quaint jewel
#

any include from mod content

#

only fix is to copy the include files into the mission itself and including locally

sick escarp
#

Right. More annoying than anything of substance, thanks for the info.

quaint jewel
#

I'll try to fix it soon

Is that not compatible with some type of chairs, orr?

When I press a button once

#

it stops working

#

Like for example

#

When I press 0

To holster weapons

#

It works once

#

then it doesnt work anymore lul

#

Then the command thing appear

#

instead of removing primary weapon

#

Does anyone know why this is a thing?

uncut latch
#

Because there is no key to holster the weapon, it's a mod or a mission that added that

dusk sphinx

but

#

It worked first

#

then it stopped working

On which mission do you play? (or gamemode)

Need help with mission cycle

I had a cycle of 4 missions that automatically cycle when game ends or #restart is used
Now the cycle is broken and im not sure what I can do to fix it, ive tried resetting the config with tadst
They cycle only loads the first mission in the cycle but not the others when #restart is used
I have done #missions and im capable of loading the missions individually, but Its imperative to have it work in conjunction with #restart
any help is appreciated

the missions show up in the config, So I do not know why they dont cycle

now its giving an error saying it cannot fine files

#

but is loading command line so

quaint jewel
#

Do you have quotes around that or not?

loud hemlock
#

i do

quaint jewel
#

If you don't have quotes, your mod line is -mod=@3den

#

ok

#

windows or linux?

#

all the folder names correct?

loud hemlock
#

linux

quaint jewel
#

linux is case sensitive too

loud hemlock
#

at leats i assume its hosted but the pathing in the error '/home/container/@UltimateMusicCollection-UMC\addons\umc'

#

yeah i know

#

i have the case correct

#

but its doing it for evry mod

quaint jewel
#

\umc ?

loud hemlock
#

Ultimate Music Collection

quaint jewel
#

umc.pbo then?

#

arma3server is /home/container/arma3server ?

#

working directory is /home/container/ ?

loud hemlock
#

i think im using node craft

#

so

#

so with quotes it -mod="@mod1;@mod2" correct

quaint jewel
#

Ye

#

or "-mod=..."

loud hemlock
#

okay that how i have it :/

Your file inside your addons directory is not lowercase

#

all pbos need be lowercase

#

Had you just copy pasted me that error I could've told you that sooner 😄

loud hemlock
#

is that a linux specific thing?

quaint jewel
#

no

#

not really

#

Arma is always lowercase.. But linux is case sensitive

loud hemlock
#

lol ive not had to do this with a diffrent host thats why i asked lol

#

so i just go through and make them all lower case correct?

quaint jewel
#

ye

loud hemlock
#

welp i know what ill be doing the next 15 minutes lmao thank you

quaint jewel
#

there are script ways to do it surely

loud hemlock
#

nodecraft isnt setup for arma imo

#

im setting the server up for someone else, if i had it my way i would of had them host from hosthavoc or something

#

do i need to change the bisign file to lowercase as well?

quaint jewel
#

afaik no

#

but I always tolower the entire folder with some tool thing

loud hemlock
#

how would you do that on a server host server?

quaint jewel
#

dunno

#

probably just wouldn't

loud hemlock
#

well changing that seems to work so like i said much appreciated

#

i have a new appreciation for those who make there pbo files all lowercase

loud hemlock
#

when optre has over 100 pbos and your renaming everything manually

quaint jewel
#

most major mods know about it

#

1st star wars is not permitted
2nd profanity is not permitted

#

I'll just remove that

loud hemlock
#

sorry, can changing a pbo to lower case cause issues between mods?

#

that depend on each other

quaint jewel
#

if a mod was well built then no

#

you'd really have to try hard to make it break

loud hemlock
#

its giving noEntry'bin\config.bin/CfgPatches.Apboishallnotname'.

#

what typically causes this? as far as i can tell i have all dependancies

quaint jewel
#

probably pbo/mod not loaded

loud hemlock
#

as far as i can tell they are loaded

#

after every one except one they say Warning Message: No entry '.units'.

#

would Mission testzeusmalden.Malden: Number of roles (9) is different from 'description.ext::Header::maxPlayer' (8) cause it to not load?

the mod is put correctly on the command line, and the pbo is lower case. so why would it not load?

because something is obviously broken

#

well.. i kinda guessed that

so while I was looking at the console it says - unknown nest to the pbos it's loading

is there a way that i can make a mod load with out changing the case becaus ei think three mods are breaking because of it

I have modded out mission that I have for my milsim group. Last time I went on before this I believe was before old man. I went on yesterday, and the role select screen would not load all the role options, player list, words, and other stuff. I went on eden to check out what was wrong and it gave me a box that said some addons are not installed. So I loaded all of my mods instead of my preset ones and it fixed all warnings but one, "warfxpe_den". (My stupid @ss didn't backup my mission so I'm f*cked if I cant figure this out). Anybody know what's going on?

Arma crashes all of a sudden every time I play. No other game crashes. CPU and GPU temperatures checked and neither one is exceeding 60 degrees. Other applications continue to run like normal in the background. RAM checked and all sticks are fine. What next?

fringe salmon
#

BattlEye: Game restart required

#

says that every time i try to join a server

#

@cold cobalt make a backup, unbinarize your mission, remove the addon listed and see if that fixes it(in text editor)

cold cobalt
#

I honestly have no clue what that means but it doesnt matters I created a better one with a close backup.

Just saw your edit.

yea sorry major Brain desync you open the mission.sqm in a text editor and remove the addon

Hello there, i am hosting a dedicated server with some mods, everything is fine and we have alot of users playing fine. However my friend who is new to arma and has just downloaded the game, all mods and everything is setup correctly (i checked multiple times now), cannot connect. He is always stuck in:
11:25:06 > Philipp uses modified data file
and has an empty screen. We have waited multiple hours in this screen before and nothing changes. Mods are all correctly downloaded, game shows no errors. RPTs are fine, no obvious erros which could be connected to his problem (both server rpt and client).

#

At this point I have no more ideas where it may come from. I had guessed it might be battleye causing the error, but after having it reinstalled multiple times, no changes

#

We are trying our best to solve it for 2 weeks now. If anyone has any idea, please share it.

uncut trellis
#

Can he join any other server?

dapper tartan
#

I have a pbo I can't bisign and I don't understand why besides I think it's because that pbo is 2Gb but otherwise I have no idea since I can bisign everyone else in my modpack is anyone have an idea for a fix?

uncut trellis
#

Have you tried a steam collection instead?

desert isle
#

Whats in the modpack..

gloomy ginkgo
#

No, he cannot connect to any servers with/or without mods

sick spruce
#

Did you happen to have tried any of the official servers? just to see if that works, if that doesn't i'd start making sure the connection of the player is fine.

gloomy ginkgo
#

Yes tried, no dosen`t work. What do you mean with connection? His internet works fine, could it be any closed ports?

sick spruce
#

Even making sure he/she isn't on a managed/strict (firewalled i.e.) network could be factors 🙂

#

i.e. some apartment buildings without private modems may have shared connections which may be strictly managed, on campus might be an example for that 🙂

#

Id rather want to expect the user to be unable to connect at-all in that example, but since you've already verified/reinstalled i want to assume the install itself should be okay.

gloomy ginkgo
#

Okay, no management in place, private modem. Reinstalled 3 times already, i checked file sizes etc. before once and everything was fine. I think i will take his pc to my place and try here...

sick spruce
#

Ah damn, hope that resolves it or else it's something quite odd it would seem

fierce snow
#

Is Reshade not allowed by arma or is that an issue?

uncut trellis
#

probs not allowed by BE yeah, youll have to play without BE if you want to use it.

#

that will however limit the choice of servers

fierce snow
#

its just for my milsim unit

#

which doesn't have battleeye enabled on the server anyways

#

but if that helps, i'll try it, thanks

does anyone know is Operation Trebuchet works on Linux servers

frosty heath
#

anyone else had issues the last week or so with cup maps?

uncut trellis
#

it might need the latest A3 so possibly not. @loud hemlock

frosty heath
#

on my dedicated server everytime we load a cup map it crashes within 5 minutes

uncut trellis
#

do you run the same scenario every time?

loud hemlock
#

latest so like my server is most up to date its a fresh server

uncut trellis
#

have you tried it?

loud hemlock
#

server gets stuck in a cfgpatches on a mission load for optre

frosty heath
#

@uncut trellis weve tried several, im the head zeus for my milsim unit and the server manager and everytime i make file in eden no matter if i put down structure or anything it crashes out

uncut trellis
#

could be the mission is broken

#

other maps work then?

#

what does server logs say?

loud hemlock
#

the mission isnt using any mods it a vanilla mission it tosses them with both Optre, and a mod im not aloud to bring up for bc of the ip

uncut trellis
#

you may need to ask the authors if anyone else has had problems

#

start testing without mods and then test each mod separately

#

could be you have put together a mod set that just doesnt work together

frosty heath
#

whats odd is it worked up until this week then the map broke and i cant figure out if something was updated or what

#

so it just seems to be zargabad causeing the issue not any of the other cup maps like sarani?

fringe salmon
#

I use zaragabad on my server and I havent had any issues with it

weary sky
#

Could also be another mod which breaks it...

I've learned my Lesson, very painfully.

#

I'm actually Co-leading a Arma 3 "MilSim" unit.

#

and we use Steam Forums, however i'm hindered.

#

and its very tough not being able to put our name out there on the forums.

#

respectfully, if anyone can help me that would be nice if you can't i understand! 🙂

Incorrect Heyoxe

#

Oh okay, my apologies

desert isle
#

Just as with Steam (and the Forums), everything should be directed to the Moderators. But, just as he hasn't read the rules on Steam (and here) he's probably not noticed that.

uncut latch
#

Alright, didn't knew that mods were also handling Steam forums, thanks for clarifying 👍

There is "a" moderator for Steam and that is Dwarden.

That's bad to hear

...and what is the trouble

grim lynx
#

My offical servers list its not showing any servers just interent works

#

the first time it was working fine but then it just stopped working

nimble owl
#

help steam doesn't detect arma 3 but it's installed i can't download it again because i don't have the space

steady hawk
#

Is your drive that has Arma 3 detected properly?

nimble owl
#

?

steady hawk
#

Is, your, drive, that, has, Arma 3, is, what?

#

C:? D:? Other?

#

First thing first, you ever tried to restart Steam?

#

Do you have installed Arma 3 properly? Can you locate local files?

Guys. I think about to upgrade my rig which is currently based on GTX 1080, i7 4770, and 12 ram. Should I buy a 2080 with the rest of the newer components or it'l be the same ?

elder sand

Do you already have Arma on an SSD?

@unique wraith you should upgrade CPU instead of gpu,if you playing at 1080p/2k resolution you always have cpu bottleneck

Hey I can't download my mods... it keeps saying missing download files

grim tinsel
#

search for that issue using discord search, there's a few fixes around

sick spruce
#

Is there maybe some general issue with workshop? It seems ACE for my server is different from my client machine, it also complains about medical GUI not being on the server... or should i try to clear the workshop cache for ACE again in an attempt? ive already deleted and redownloaded ace a few times now 😦

quaint jewel
#

Yes last steam update broke things. Like the thing righta bove your message

grim tinsel
#

It broke some workshop stuff aswell?

quaint jewel
#

the download files stuff is workshop

sick spruce
#

yeah so guess im just better off copying my mods through an NFS for now just to save the potential headaches. thanks 🙂

#

its not a download files error in screen for me, upon joining with the client it complains it has ACE_medical_gui loaded which the server claims it does not have. inspecting the server the size for the ace workshop folder and amount of files differed, so i'd decided to force re-download ACE although it appears to not have resolved that problem.

#

oddly enough ACE is 6 megs smaller on the server side, i'd expect them to be at least near-similar.

quaint jewel
#

ace_medical_gui doesn't exist anymore

#

so neither the server nor you should have it

#

ah

#

nop that was a lie

#

it does exist

#

but everything medical was shuffled around recently

orchid salmon
#

wait i having a issue here

sick spruce
#

ah luckily, for that client had started mod download just this afternoon, the server has had them for a bit now xD

orchid salmon
sick spruce
#

guess ill just manually download ACE for now and manually replace it, see if that makes any difference 🙂

quaint jewel
#

You already have your solution @orchid salmon

So my friend just bought arma 3 and he has some issues running it. His game crashes after a few minutes of playing or entering a helicopter. He updated his drivers, verified integrity of game files and even reinstalled the game it but nothing worked, we checked all over the forums and tried other things suggested by people... He has a new PC capable of running arma. At start he was getting this error "arma 3 error 0xc0000005" but he fixed it by updating the graphics drivers, now the game just freezes and shuts down without an error. What else could we try? Thank you in advance

uncut trellis
#

does he use usb headset

#

if yes, try if it crash when its not plugged in

rose jay
#

steelseries arctis 7 wireless, we use the same ones

uncut trellis
#

win10 has a bug thing that breaks usb audio with Arma sometimes

rose jay
#

the wireless transmiter is plugged into usb, so should he try running the game without the headphones?

sick spruce
#

Would be a good thing to try for testing. If it makes a difference i'd dare suggest to double check there's no updates for the headset available and perhaps trying to disable Windows10's Usb PowerManagement.

#

I needed to do the latter for myself to prevent some programs from crashing when my old headset is empty or otherwise gets disconnected.

rose jay
#

We'll give it a try when he gets back online and i'll give you feedback

Hello guys. I'm playing in a server but I keep getting an error which makes my screen freez, then go black and force quitting on itself. CUP terrains core might be the cause of this but I'm not 100% sure ofcourse..

I do not get this on other servers like KOTH or other exile servers with similar mods.

This is the error I get from the rpt file:

18:52:17 1/2 GameInstructionOperator::Execute - stack resizing to (-1) displayname: filename: content:
18:52:17 2/2 GameInstructionOperator::Execute - stack resizing to (-1) last instruction: line:1

If anyone knows what to do let me know ±)

Hello, whenever I use thermals, regardless of if they're in goggles, vehicle sights, or a scope, all I get is a black screen. This only started happening after I installed some mods (notably ace3 and RHS suite). Disabling the mods does not fix this, nor does uninstalling them. I have verified my game cache on steam and nothing was missing.

One of my friends has installed the same exact mods as I did and he's having no issues.

I believe this is an issue to do with running Arma 3 on Linux, but it's confusing that the issue wasn't present while playing the Apex campaign unmodded.

OS: Manjaro Linux
I am using the unofficial arma3-unix-launcher to allow me to run the game with mods.

#

As a note, I am not using the official Linux port as it is out of date. I am using the latest release and running the game though valve's proton.

#

My arma is doing something wierd
it doesn't require me to Download the mods in bulk(after fixing it beforehand)

So whenever I Download a Large mod over about 1GB I Get missing downloaded files, I've reinstalled the mods, Cleared out my workshop folder which way empty anyway due to me resetting my PC, Been trying to find a fix but cant

👏Search before ask

quaint jewel
#

Been trying to find a fix but cant
Well you haven't used discord search yet, because that question has been asked and answered atleast a dozen times last week

fringe salmon
#

@steady hawk I have tried the appworkshop method(due to me having to DL all of my 70gb of mods in Bulk at first) and it didn't help out

steady hawk
#

Why did you ping me

fringe salmon
#

I thought the message was meant for me

#

sorry

last palm
#

i have some strange performance impact for a scenario where i added cup stuff afterwards. is there any log or console output to see what is calculating so much? maybe its the ai mods, but in combination with cup.

sick spruce
#

@last palm some of the logs are in your %appdata%/../Local/Arma 3 folder (youre looking for .rpt files then) if anything's thrown an error.

last palm
#

thx

fringe salmon
#

My arma is doing something wierd
it doesn't require me to Download the mods in bulk(after fixing it beforehand)
but validates and downloads
every mod
individualy

After Validating Arma files it asks me to ReDownload the mods in bulk again...

#

Dont know what to od

#

do

sick spruce
#

so if i understand correctly you've cleared your workshop files and the workshop downloadcache before letting them download again? Then that sounds normal to me and in my case helped resolve some issues.

#

If it's a specific mod failing you can delete the specific folder and cache for it by looking up the workshop id of the mod, which can save you downloading the others

fringe salmon
#

I have only deleted "WorkshopItemsInstalled" line

#

it worked before

sick spruce
#

If you really need to re-download the mods i believe you need to go to Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/107410 too, that's where the downloads of arma's workshop folders are kept.
It sounds like one or more mods signature files are making the launcher believe something's wrong in those folders, if i understand correctly.

quaint jewel
#

@last palm you can flip to profiling build, and use diag_captureFrame. It'll tell you exactly whats taking so long

fringe salmon
#

@sick spruce I don't

#

Why in the world would I want to DL 70gb's of the mods out of the blue

sick spruce
#

Of course noone wants to re-download their whole workshop library :p what is the error itself you see? If i understood correctly either steam or the launcher is instructing to re-download?

fringe salmon
#

Just a quick one with 3CB, I have selected to not load with default kits and what I have made in 3den however it always defaults back. Any advice would be very very helpful

#

@fringe salmon you have 2 disable dynamic loadouts

#

in 3den

sick spruce
#

@fringe salmon I don't use 3CB myself but had a run-in with ACE yesterday where it ws overriding my kits, if you're using ACE you might want to check if that's happening to you 🙂 i had to change my loadout in 3den for that in the ACE loadout-thingie.

fringe salmon
#

It's a known 3CB "feature"

#

spawn 3 different units of same type and you'll see they have some differences

#

@fringe salmon How do I disable dynamic loadouts again sorry. And @sick spruce no I'm not running ACE at the moment

#

right click to the unit

#

properties(or whatever its called)

#

and its in there

#

I can't say I'm seeing anything to do with dynamic loadouts other than the 3CB options which are disabled

sick spruce
#

Are you (re-)starting the scenario after the changes? (so not resuming?)

fringe salmon
#

If by restart saving and coming out would count then yes mate

#

That's why I'm stumped

sick spruce
#

When editing missions i try to make sure to start the scenario fresh when making changes to loadouts or basically anything that doesnt run through a seperate script. Sometimes if the scenario was resumed from a save it could throw things off for me. If a change doesnt seem to have propagated i sometimes even restart the whole game just to be sure something still in-memory might be screwing me over.

fringe salmon
#

Okay I'll give that a shot then

#

@sick spruce Still no luck unfortunantly

last palm
#

@quaint jewel many thanks!

servermod is not mod, they are different, with different contents. If you put the same into both you're doing it wrong

But then again, your frame times and fps seem very good. Not a bug imo

The game is running at 400 fps.. of course that causes high GPU load.

I don't know about ACE so I've no idea about it but you have to make sure those MODs are doing your problem or not

last palm
#

i refine my question

#

i have my own stripped down version of ace, i have removed repair refuel and rearm, also norearm (and lots other stuff like googles and medical stuff). i use RHS, i have ace @ace3_3.13.2, installed manually. also the latest RHS ace compatiblity over steamwork shop(from acemod's Workshop) cause i don't need to modify it. all of it seems to be updated at 22.04.2020. if i configure heli pylons in editor, the weapons don't have ammo, also i can't refill them ingame at the ammo trucks. cmburst and mg's get refilled, rest won't.

weary sky
#

so you have an issue with something you broke yourself from a mod, and now ask in Arma discord on how to fix it...

last palm
#

well that don't need to be wrong. maybe you can give some constructive critic how to behave in a troubleshooting channel.

weary sky
#

If you don't use the latest versions or worse modified versions of mods then you can expect stuff to be broken...

#

But I also know that not all vehicle mods are compatible with Pylons, or have their own system in place

last palm
#

its all latest, as i stated.

#

thats why i told my version in the first place, to rule out the suggestion to update first.

#

ok

supple crystal
#

sounds like your edit of ace is broken (you no you can just disable all that stuff via CBA settings you dont have to edit the mod). or you have some jank mod that messes with rearm. both tetets f18 and firewills jets still work via eden pylon attributes, they just have there own system for changing pylon weapons in-game.

Hey, can someone help me out? Currently, I play on a server using modern vehicles, including the A-10A and A-10C. However, when using these vehicles I do not have radar of any kind, and AGMs do not have the ability to lock on. I think it might be a mod conflict, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to know how.

#

Any help is appreciated.

weak lion
#

are you sure you're not using laser guided atgms

#

do other people have the same issues

snow kindle
#

I'm using the AGM-65 maverick, and no.

#

But, even if that were the case

#

It's not an issue with the radar not being able to turned on, it's that it's completely non existant.

#

This is in reference to the RHS A-10A.

weak lion
#

I'm in the editor and I don't see a radar either

#

left and right bracket don't do anything

#

so you know other people have radar?

snow kindle
#

See, that's where it gets tricky.

#

There's a clear tutorial here indicating how to use the RHS A-10's lockon systems.

weak lion
#

I was able to lock on and destroy a tank with the ir maverick

#

did you aim that rectangle at the vehicle?

#

still no sensors though

snow kindle
#

What do you mean rectangle?

weak lion
#

in the video he said the lock on point isn't the crosshair

#

it's a rectangle partway down the hud

snow kindle
#

Seems interesting, I'll have to test it out.

#

Could just be the RHS devs overhauled the systems.

#

Were you able to lock on without using any keys, or did you have to press T?

weak lion
#

I pressed t

#

I can see if it works without keys

snow kindle
#

Did you get a lockon indicator, like the beeping sounds?

weak lion
#

yes

snow kindle
#

Alright, I'll test it out.

weak lion
#

that link is the timestamp for where the lock on area is

#

Perfect, thank you so much.

Has anyone ever figured out a way to keep aircraft throttle from going up while in map? I've been playing this for years, it always bothers me, but never found a solution 😆

grim tinsel
#

I've only heard of it going down

weary sky
#

Don't press SHIFT while on the map 🤣
I usually have the issue I try to set a waypoint and use SHIFT + LMB, and then crash a helicopter because it took off

gritty crypt
#

@weary sky more of a problem with fixed wing for me

#

Advanced Flight Model in helicopters (with a joystick) doesn't seem to get the throttle issue.

#

Could be wrong, but I haven't noticed it.

#

And no, throttle goes up or down for me.

#

Usually down, but sometimes up 😆 particularly annoying if I'm trying to line up a landing/approach.

weary sky
#

you most likely use a keybind which is set to throttle up/down while on the map

gritty crypt
#

Nope

#

Happens for everyone I know that flys in Arma

#

Can confirm the only thing I have set for throttle is my throttle.

weary sky
#

AFM has a fixed throtlle, vanilla requires you to hold the throttle (like with cars where you have to hold the W button to drive)

#

but again... depends on keybinds

gritty crypt
#

The "M" key is not bound to anything but my map.

#

When I hit it, throttle immediately drops off in fixed wing.

weary sky
#

because you don't hold your throttle up key anymore, since you're on the map and not in your plane

gritty crypt
#

I don't need to hold my throttle key up at all

#

I get throttle to the % that I want and I leave it there

steady hawk
#

I believe airplane throttles are not working like older Arma games since Jets DLC?

gritty crypt
#

^

weary sky
#

both work depending on which keybinds you use...

gritty crypt
#

Aircraft throttle is a percentage thrust, set and forget, for most aircraft now.

#

Okay, but again - my problem is that I set my throttle to, let's say 70%.

#

If I hit M, then hit M again, my throttle is suddenly 10%

#

Why?

#

I didn't throttle down.

steady hawk
#

MODs?

#

Check in vanilla if there's any

gritty crypt
#

Basic stuff, like CBA, RHS, etc.

steady hawk

That's not too basic collection

weary sky
#

so known bug

gritty crypt
#

Well, basic for milsim 😆 which is all I've played in Arma 3 for the past 7000 hours.

#

Well, rip. That bug was reported in 2016, so I guess fair to say it won't be patched.

steady hawk
#

I don't have the problem, never experienced

supple crystal
#

@gritty crypt It's a hard coded engine autopilot feature that was added with jets DLC, it's really stupid, it happens whenever you open a UI that enables mouse control.

#

Obviously when your in the map you can't see what's happening, but if your using ACE for example and you press the self-interaction key you can watch your throttle % changes a bunch and then stabilise, same with your pitch and roll.

#

People complained about it from the first week the DLC was released but it was never removed unfortunately. I would love to here the design teams reasoning/justification for it.

knotty ravine
#

soo

#

my arma is

#

well

#

updating all the mods

#

is there a workaround for this or do i just got to wait it out

rough pilot
#

I think you just gotta wait it out

weary sky
#

I it correct that mods are not fully loaded on a server (or client) until a mission has started?
Eg. if I add #include "\x\cba\addons\main\script_macros_mission.hpp" to a missions description.ext it will crash the server (or client when trying to host a server), even though CBA is loaded correctly.

#

I've seen several tickets in the tracker with similar issues, and also on the CBA Github it has been mentioned but flagged as "won't fix / BI needs to fix this"

I'm playing the East Wind campaign and I'm at the part of the campaign where ||we expect an invasion from NATO in Topolia|| however I can't progress to that mission as I'm not given any of the required gear and as such can't even join the next mission. Any help?

#

The main reason for this is that something hasn't been triggered. Re-read the briefing and ensure that you've followed it exactly. If you feel that you have done so, there is either an enemy or task that hasn't been dealt with.

strong kelp
#

I'm not in a mission however. I'm in the Topolia camp where in the prep phase(where I can go to scouting and briefing and such) I can't go to the next mission because the armory won't tell me/give me the gear for 'Beyond Recognition'

#

I'd send a screenshot but cant

desert isle
#

9 times out of 10, there is something you've missed.

strong kelp
#

there is nothing to miss but ok, thanks for your time

#

okay i found out what the issue is. I need an explosive charge for the mission but the armory doesn't have one...guess I'm going on a hunt across altis top find some aaf guy with one

#

anyone know where i might find one?

shut

#

I was wrong

#

but how was i supposed to know

#

I found out by crouching at a single specific spot because it wouldn't show the requirements anywhere else

no
to a missions description.ext it will crash the server
Engine bug

weary sky

Engine bug
So fix it 😝😝😝

That said, there are some workarounds but not the nicest ones... Like C&P external files into the mission....

quaint jewel
#

its on my list for next update

#

KK already replaced the forced crash with a warning message.
But the file not being found is still open

#

Hello, on our Arma 3 server, with ACE 3 enabled, even if we are wounded, we see nothing on the medical menu, and we can't heal us, please help 🙏

weary sky
#

that sounds like a broken version of ACE, or another mod which breaks ACE

stable peak
#

I don't know how to fix it 😦

weary sky
#

me neither without all the possible information... which mods are enabled, which versions, any errors in the rpt files (client and server), etc.

stable peak
#

We use this

#

Normally, it's all the last version

#

But, we don't know how to change that

grim tinsel
#

Does it work if you only load ace?

stable peak
#

The thing very strange, is that when i take control of a german, i see my wounds and i can heal me properly, but the other player no

stable peak
#

any idea ?

torpid cloud
#

So I have ACE on a server

#

When Ace Spectator is enabled and the only player on the server dies, it does a Mission Fail

#

with vanilla Arma spectator, the mission doesn't fail

#

What is happening?!

#

Hey, how can I add Global Mobilization/Contact to a server command line?

#

I have -mod=@CBA_A3;@ACE;@TaskForceRadio;@Enhanced_Movement;@BackpackOnChest;@GRADTrenches;@Vcom_AI;@Zeus_Enhanced;GM;

quaint jewel
#

GM is GM

#

like oyu already did

#

contact is.. contact

night glade
#

Alright. For some reason I cannot join the server because the GM files I have loaded aren't signed by a key accepted by the server, aka they're not allowed. Am I doing something wrong?

#

Do I need to upload the DLC to the server?

quaint jewel
#

maybe the key needs to be added to keys folder on server

#

not sure

night glade
#

Oh, keys!

#

Wait, where the hell are DLC keys stored?

#

Nvm, found it

#

gm.bikey in \Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Keys

#

Just uploaded the key to my keys folder, still isn't working

primal portal
#

Having an issue where on mission start, objects sink into the ground or outright get destroyed. This also goes for vehicles too.

night glade
#

Hey, if I want to run a server with Global Mobilization, do I have to upload the entire DLC (thing is, I can't, .ebo's are encrypted)? When I put GM; at the end of my -mod= (and I have gm.bikey in my server's Keys folder) I'm still not able to join

grim tinsel
#

I think you might have to install GM using a steam command, not sure about that though @night glade , #server_admins is props a better place to ask that

feral stream
#

From the FAQ on GMs Discord:
Question 11:
How can I run GM on a dedicated server?
A:
Install GM dedicated server via steamCMD:
+app_update 233780 -beta creatordlc " validate +quit

Alternative way to install:
C:\steamcmd\steamcmd.exe +login YourSteamUser YourSteamPW +force_install_dir YourInstallationDirectory +app_update 233780 -beta creatordlc validate +quit

Launch it via
-mod=gm;

What can it be if there is 500K of the following messages in the server log during a 5min interval?

That crap makes the server hang..

weary sky
#

Also got them, and I only have them with crappy missions

short fern
#

We have them with our own mission we try to hold in a good shape.
Recently we made an update which causes at some point to a massive deleteVehicle calls. Approximately 150-170 objects gets deleted at once.
And that causes a massive flood into the log followed by the server hanging.

You may have users without the mods required for the mission. You could check signatures before letting someone in.

arma 3 not usign ram problem this

jaunty cedar
#

I have an addition to the Nimitz that seems to reliably crash arma to desktop. The code is in https://sqfbin.com/okelebeperuhavihapec . The line for the crashing is _shuttle1 setPosASL _c1ShuttleStart; . I can share the shuttle model if need be, it's basically a very small car.

#

in the code I try to wait for the Nimitz parts to be constructed, with a pretty generous sleep 2, but it doesn't help

#

the code is embedded into the init eventhandler of the JDG_Carrier_spawner object, the center of the Nimitz

#

any ideas how to troubleshoot this further?

quaint jewel
#

What is the value of _c1ShuttleStart before the crash

#

did you report it on feedback tracker with the full crash report yet?

jaunty cedar
#

not yet on the feedback tracker

#

_c1shuttleStart seems to be valid, as it doesn't always crash on my desktop, but on my laptop it's 90% crash guarantee. So I suspect a race condition as the laptop is considerably slower than the desktop

quaint jewel
#

seems to be valid
I didn't ask that.
What is the value of _c1ShuttleStart before the crash

jaunty cedar
#

11:46:47 "_c1ShuttleStart is [903.56,4509.8,17.8408]"

quaint jewel
#

and crash right after that?

jaunty cedar
#

yes

#

when I remove the setPosASL it doesn't crash

#

probably I broke the shuttle car config so badly that it crashes?

quaint jewel
#

Well FT ticket then, will need to see the dump.

jaunty cedar
#

thanks will do

Hey, so I got my external HD and made it a P: drive. But my Buldozer tool in Obj builder doesn't seem to want to load. As soon as I start the tool it says steam_appid is missing or wrong. then it gives me this a big list of missing stuff
