Question for you everyone. Currently our server works with the mods we have load. MODs are : @CBA_A3;@CUP_Terrains_Core;@CUP_Terrains_Maps;@CUP_Weapons;@CUP_Units;@CUP_Vehicles;@Advanced_Rappelling_Reworked;@Advanced_Urban_Rappelling;@Specialist_Military_Arms;@task_force_radio;@RHSUSAF;@Enhanced_Movement;@Lingor_Dingor_Island;@Achilles;@Kunduz_Afghanistan;@Fallujah;@Advanced_Sling_Loading;@RealisticCrashes;
We tried adding ace today and when i copy the bikey to the keys folder every single mod then shows signature mismatch issue. If i remove the bikey only ace shows up as bikey mismatch
any help would be greatly appreciated

What about update key from fixed ace?
fringe salmon
@shrewd vault you most likely reached the server data limit, if you download latest server profiling branch found in a dropbox link somewhere in #perf_prof_branch and use steamProtocolMaxDataSize in a .cfg, and set a high number value it should fix your issue. (praise dedboomer for this). as for what to set the value to, im not sure what is reasonable, i set mine to 20000.
since the link to dwardens dropbox dosnt seem to be pinned ill drop it for you here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/582opsto4mmr8d8/AABSuQ8Jt5VlovUX86pi5iFRa

Alright so currently, I feel like braining myself. My friends and I have been running into a game breaking issue that prevents us from starting up a Internet server which was working up until a point and now we're running off a VPN and through LAN. The situation is this;
Starting up a internet server will allow no one to see it or even join it if given the option through steam
Using a VPN is a coin flip whether or not the person can join
The thing is, it's only localised to me, my friends can start up their servers no problem but I have no idea what's wrong. I've gone through my firewalls permissions, I gone through my router and even contacting my internet provider, I've uninstalled/reinstalled, verified and so on, I've done everything besides get a new internet provider and hell, I'm moving house very soon and I'm hoping that will fix it. Does anyone have any insight into this issue at all, cause honestly I'm at wits end with this issue

pine kite
@lucid valve Several potential causes: His server might be shutdown. The IP address or port you are connecting to is incorrect. (public IP address can change for resedential routers/generic ISP internet connection; have him send you the result given by the site whatsmyip.net ) Or he messed up the port forwarding in his router. The private IP address of his server/locally runnning on client could also be off from what he set in his router. (dynamically assigned private IP adresses can be changed to fixed, or reserved for a specific network device in many router configurations) Make him check those first.

@wise barn yep. Bluetooth USB
wise barn
as soon as you join online/mp, your bluetooth mic gets activated. this leads to an output setting change from stereo to mono "on the fly", and arma doesn't like that > mutes sound
solution: deactivate ALL settings for your bluetooth mic in windows and us an external mic. or use a wired analogue headset (3.5mm)
before you ask: this is a bluetooth thing. no fix for that

You can only edit the client settings in CBA from the main menu. When you're in-game or in the editor you can't modify it anymore.

is there a way to force Arma 3 to use more RAM
I have 32 gigs of RAM but constantly get HDD thrashing (yes, HDD)
32gigs should be able to hold more than half of arma 3's total gamefiles
can I force arma 3 to load more things into the RAM
steady hawk
But since other softwares and OS are occupying your RAM more or less, you can't allocate the entire 32 Gigs RAM for Arma 3 only
upper sandal
the game locks up in the middle of nowhere
I get 4G used with only discord and steam in the background
I should be able to allocate anything I want on the rest of 28
steady hawk
Either way, allocate the every piece of 28 is not recommended, and what exactly is your issue? I never see my RAM is underused by Arma 3
upper sandal
my problem is Arma 3 never uses more than 6G
my issue is arma 3 getting locked up while it thrashes the HDD
so it doesn't get lock up and thrash randomly
upper sandal
thrashing is normal behavior?
not using all the resources isn't normal behavior afaik
steady hawk
Because Arma 3 is loading your local data
upper sandal
yup I want it to load more pre-emptively
and perhaps not dispose of things that are loaded
and I didn't know the s word qualifies for "offensive" profanity
it locks up when I switch weapons sometimes
actually it's not thrashing, but locking up while loading stuff
steady hawk
it locks up when I switch weapons sometimes
Excuse me, can you explain this more precisely?
the s word qualifies for "offensive" profanity
If you ever hear censoring beep in a TV show, this also should happened here; this is a public space
upper sandal
Arma 3 freezes, sound desyncs, I see HDD indicator flashing super hard, it loads, Arma 3 normalizes again, sound resyncs
aka it loaded things from the HDD, and put them in the memory
steady hawk
And when?
upper sandal
now when I switch to pistol back and back and forth it keeps locking up, which makes no sense
when I switch weapons, sprint, etc
if I'm standing still it is fine
steady hawk
Maybe Arma 3 is loading the animation?
upper sandal
yup but why not store it in RAM
steady hawk
Arma 3 only store the data to RAM when called
upper sandal
I have plenty of RAM to spare, maybe I could load ahead any x amount of cells, spaces, etc
yes I'm asking whether I can cache that
weapons, etc
maybe all the weapons I have should be cached
steady hawk
That's a no AFAIK. Sounds your HDD is getting slower? How old is it?
upper sandal
pretty old, and I have a SSD on order but that's not coming due to the thing that I don't have to mention
but regardless
even on SSD, it makes no sense that arma 3 will reload everything every time I switch weapons
steady hawk
it makes no sense that arma 3 will reload everything every time I switch weapons
Arma 3 doesn't. If you load a weapon, will be stored in RAM
upper sandal
okay, say I have a primary weapon and pistol, if I switch primary -> pistol -> primary, will the primary anims and everything be reloaded?
steady hawk
I don't think so. The animations will be loaded when are called. I had Arma 3 in an HDD before but never experienced that “slow” load
upper sandal
hold on, I don't get it, are they being cached or not?
in the scenario I mentioned, I expect the anim to be loaded only once
steady hawk
You're true. Although I'm not a dev nor hardware expert, but this must be true
Ah well, I think I wrote little bit wrongly
The animations will be loaded when are called.
but not the entire set of “primary-weapon animations”
Like, if you holding a rifle and move forward, the forward animation will be loaded and store it to the RAM, strafe right, the right animation will be loaded, and so on
upper sandal
Yeah thrashing when moving implies engine is locking up while loading things that I just came into view of
I don't expect the forward animation to be wiped off then
steady hawk
So you experienced the load everytime when eg your character move forward?
steady hawk
For a second or so to load it up?
steady hawk
Okay that's not a normal... Can you open Arma 3 Launcher now?
upper sandal
I shoot one bullet, I get stuck while I stare at the enemy in my crosshair
it loads, the enemy fires his, and I get stuck again
I'll check it out once I'm home
but any suggestions on what I can do?
steady hawk
You maybe accidentally set System memory limit or some parameters
upper sandal
I did set the sys mem limit to 24G
steady hawk
It says 16311MB is the max
upper sandal
I tried allocating the three threads, setting sys mem limit to 24g to be safe, etc
the special threads, that is

@uncut trellis
gotcha, thx

That "pop up" should show unless you click a certain button in the menu, or when a script is calling it manually (which would be very strange)
peak meadow
HorribleGoat. Well, I've tested all mods one by one and there was no problem. You said it was with the mods it self. For me it appears it isn't. I just combined some of the mods including CUP ( Which is the majority of the mods i am using ) and no. i'm not using a lot of life mods. Most of the objects are CUP and Vanilla
weary sky
If it happens automatically... Find out which script/mod is doing that and remove it...
Could be some broken script in your mission as well
wise barn
it is not CUP for sure
peak meadow
Yeah it's really strange. Each time i press a button it pops up
Exactly. That's why i'm having a headache with this problem
weary sky
And what are your logs saying?
peak meadow
@weary sky I still didn't use a mission. I am in the chapter of just placing objects and then i will transfer them to TB ( Using Mapbuilder )
@weary sky It shows me a lot of tabs to choose from https://imgur.com/eMKn4BS as you can see here in the link
weary sky
I know what the function viewer is 😉 and how it works...
Again, there's most likely a mod which you have loaded which is causing your problems
peak meadow
Maybe, I will double check if i have duplicated mods
weary sky
Duplicates wouldn't even allow you to load the game... It's a broken mod
peak meadow
But how is that possible ?. I've checked all mods one by one. but one i combine other CUP mods with CUP Core the problem occur
When *
wise barn
"combine"?
peak meadow
Yeah. Give me a sec. I will show you
So, When i build my map, i normally use these files
CUP-Terrain-Core ~9GB
AAM ( My own collection mods) ~13GB
AzizPrecap ( The Terrain )
Map Builder
When i add these mods for fun and to test them on the terrain, The functions viewer problem comes back
CUP Units ~4GB
CUP Vehicles ~9GB
CUP Weapons ~5GB
Ah kuoku0 PLEASE xD

still, not a CUP issue
peak meadow
@thorn leaf What do you mean exactly ?
weary sky
There are multiple people (including CUP devs) who can and will say: it's not CUP
peak meadow
Yup. In my Mods Collection ( AAM ) there is a lot of CUP pbos. I will delete them and see if this fixes the problem

Mod preset is fine, just don't repack them and then complain it's not working...
peak meadow
Guys.. lol... this is my first time making something by my self. tbh i don't know some of the basics. including copyrights etc. I will look at them after finishing the design of the map.
I've repacked them so i don't apply a lot of the files. just made one pack to make it easier on me
wise barn
- CUP is not build to be ripped apart and put into "modpacks"
many files rely on each other - Why making a modpack with CUP content if you load the mods anyway?
weary sky
I would fix illegal content first... Because no one will help you here as long as you still use it... And since it's the cause of your problem it makes even more sense...
wise barn
it's either CUP as it is on the workshop, or no CUP
peak meadow
it's the one on the workshop.
wise barn
yes, but not in a modpack
peak meadow
@weary sky i thought it wasn't ok to reupload them only. not changing their directory.
weary sky
That depends on the mod, and CUP doesn't allow it at all
And again... It is the cause of your problem, so I would fix it
peak meadow
ok. just to make sure. if i wanted only to make one modpack, so it can be easier for the other players to download the mods for the server. Should i seperate CUP core by it self ?
wise barn
ok. just to make sure. if i wanted only to make one modpack, so it can be easier for the other players to download the mods for the server
this is not allowed
peak meadow
Then, Should i tell them to download it from The Workshop ?
wise barn
this violates a ton of licenses and steam EULA
weary sky
Any mod should be downloaded only from the sources provided by the dev. So no reuploads, repacks or anything
wise barn
Then, Should i tell them to download it from The Workshop ?
yes. only from the original autors
uncut trellis
you make a collection in the workshop
peak meadow
now that makes sense. I used to play on Arab servers. And all of them just take some of cup pbos and put them into their modpack

this is why I say life stuff is broken

This is the thing that made me think it was ok to put any mod you want in a Modpack. unless you don't change the texture or don't give credits etc
@wise barn trust me. the servers i'm talking about were online for years and the mods didn't get deleted
@uncut trellis Sadly this is true....

well, until the modpack pups up on our radar. then it will be gone
peak meadow
Can you please tell me more on the "radar" you're talking about ? @wise barn
Yup. Exactly kuoku0.
ffs. I've already designed cities with it :_(
wise barn
Can you please tell me more on the "radar" you're talking about ?
we have access to tools that can scan for reuploads on the workshop.
peak meadow
aha
@thorn leaf yup. last time i worked on the project was long ago. Better check the modpack before resuming it
wise barn
ok, let me explain:
if you are building a terrain or a mission with CUP assets, that's all fine. as long as CUP stays as a dependency and is not ripped apart / cherry picked / reuploaded
peak meadow
Cherry picked ?. Do you mean choosing and removing certain pbos from their modpack ?
wise barn
it means, picking certain PBOs and repacking them in a new modpack
uncut trellis
also if you use CUP your server cant monetize
peak meadow
alright
peak meadow
and they, i guess success with it.
weary sky
Isn't there a blog with exactly that from someone in this discord?
peak meadow
@uncut trellis In the past when i thought it was ok. Yes it was my goal to just put everything i used in the modpack. But not anymore
weary sky
I'm short; unless you have permission to modify a mod it's a big no-no, even when others seem to get away with it
peak meadow
ANY REUPLOADS (STANDALONE OR PART OF MODPACKS) TO THE STEAM WORKSHOP (ARMA3 & DAYZ) ARE PROHIBITED AND VIOLATING THE STEAM WORKSHOP EULA SECTION 6D, AS WELL AS THE CUP LICENSE. this is on their workshop page. I was planning on uploading my modpack including some of cup mods to an external link, not on Steam workshop. if i did it, am i on the safe side ?
uncut trellis
no
peak meadow
ok
uncut trellis
you do not cut parts from CUP
weary sky
Or any mod for that matter
peak meadow
So Horrible you talked about the monetization, Can you tell me what's the importance of it ?
or Grezvany if you have time.
or anyone maybe 😛
weary sky
If you want to use tools provided by BI you're not allowed to make money from it. Period.
peak meadow
Are the tools really helpful ?
weary sky
This includes the game, server and modding tools
Some tools are required to make stuff run in Arma, so I would say yes...
peak meadow
Alright. Thanks every body. if it wasn't for you guys i will surly get fuc*ed up after doing the steps i was planning to do. definitely coming back when i need help !

@peak meadow
if i wanted only to make one modpack, so it can be easier for the other players to download the mods for the server.
Why? when they click your server in Arma Launcher, they get the modlist and can subscribe/download all of them with a single click..
peak meadow
@quaint jewel When i was making a modpack and working on the project ~8 months ago, Before i understand the basics of copyright. I've nearly forgot what does even my modpack contain. one of the things i remember was " It was easier to put them all in one modpack" including CUP ( Which someone told me it was wrong today ). So what i'm doing now is trying to get permission from the owners, learning the basics of licenses, etc...
wise barn
Which someone told me it was wrong today
it was an official CUP dev...
quaint jewel
the basics of licenses
You aren't allowed to do ANYTHING, unless the license EXPLICITLY allows it.
So without reading the license, you don't use a mod or put it in a pack.
peak meadow
@wise barn Didn't realize it -_-

i'm trying to start a arma server but when ever i start the server the console you cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted
weary sky
you most likely have a mission which requires mods which are not enabled on the server
cinder carbon
when i join the server it says something about uns_ammo i think and some other stuff like that so i think it i tied to unsung but the mod is installed on the server
just found the error You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted.CSJ_UH1Gun_c, uns_uh1d_c, uns_ammo_c, uns_m113_c, uns_wheeled3_c, uns_Wheeled_w_c, uns_Arty_c, uns_men_US_11ACR, uns_men_NVA_crew, uns_AAA_c, uns_men_NVA_daccong
weary sky
it seems that Unsung isn't enabled then (as in; part of the -mod= parameter)
cinder carbon
i have it enabled there
atleast i think let me take another look
i think i know why now
never mind in ther parameter unsung was spelled unsung but in the mod list it was Unsung
huh i'm still getting there error and my game also flashes when i join
ya it looks like all of the errors are from unsung
sacred python
@cinder carbon , what mission are you trying to play?
cinder carbon
i made one
sacred python
Are you subscribed to Unsung or using an old downloaded one perhaps?
cinder carbon
i subscribed to unsung and then i locally downloaded it from the launcher and put that file on the server
sacred python
at this pointall I can suggest is to double check the classname spelling/punctuation
of the errors
cinder carbon
ya i made sure every thing was the same spelling all of that
i'm trying to install unsung to the server again and seeing if that helps
sacred python
or you could find the objects in question, plop them down in a far corner of the map just to get the mission started, then explore the asset list in the Editor
cinder carbon
ya with the way i want the mission to work i think i can remove all of the unsung stuff and then add them in once the mission starts
sacred python
👍
cinder carbon
alright thanks
cinder carbon
ok so now i can get into the server and there is no flashing but when i try to join into the mission after selecting a role and clicking ok it goes to a loading screen and then back to the role selection screen

ah no
its in Arma 3 Server/Expansion

i think i have moved the wrong server files which didn't get updated from steam, one sec.
yup i still had an old server version in my steam folder
Though i had another issue with the keys. one sec.
That was the reason i tried reinstalling my server.
Even though i have all keys in the folder.
Is that maybe caused by the 2 different keys for each RHS version?
there's a rhsusaf.0.4.9.bikey
and a rhsusaf.0.5.2.bikey
For each AFRF, USAF, GREF
i suppose remove the 0.4.9 since its an older version?
quaint jewel
remove older bikey and bisigns

well the wrong version ones

i just searched 0.4.9 and then deleted every
I now get this for RHSAFRF, but there's no 0.4.9 bisign/bikey

they were there by default

yeah..
Is that a mod issue/does someone else have this experience, or is that just on my side for some odd reason?
i mean it works if i run the server without checking the keys, but I want to whitelist only certain mods, so people can't join with others loaded.

Hi guys, need help figuring out why no one can hear me in local voice chat nor squad chat. I pressing the correct key to activate VOIP and the feedback from my mic going through my headset seems to pick up my voice. This also happens when Im playing on Squad as well. Any help?
I went to my audio settings and I set them to my repsective headset but i still cannot get repsonses from teammates
fringe salmon
hi i need some help my units are still leaving the vehicle
fringe salmon
i am here
steady hawk
This also happens when Im playing on Squad as well.
Is “Squad” here meaning the game (joinsquad[.]com) or?
steady hawk
Sorry for the one who I just mispinged
@molten helm
If you meant “my VOIP didn't work on other games as well,” check your microphone and/or audio options
steady hawk
Sorry! Didn't noticed 😛
faint pike
It's ok
molten helm
@steady hawk Yes Squad the game as well
@steady hawk I made sure to check my settings under microphone and audio options and my test microphone option where it shows if youre speaking was speaking as it should. Not sure what else to do. I have messed with all my window settings and made sure my turtle beach headset is selected. I was even able to hear myself speak in the turtle beach studio
steady hawk
Like, your microphone works really fine on your Windows' audio settings?
molten helm
@steady hawk Yes
I was playing on my dad's pc a week ago and same thing on his. No one could hear me, same games
wise barn
same headset?
molten helm
Different, his was the steeleseries, mine is turtle beach
wise barn
are those wireless / bluetooth?
molten helm
His was corded, mine are wireless
wise barn
His was corded
USB or 3.5mm jack?
molten helm
usb
wise barn
jep... that's the issue.
microsoft 🦆ed up big time with their 2017 autumn update. a lot of applications have issues with USB audio devices since then.
use an analogue audio input device (3.5mm jack) and i bet it works
molten helm
What about mine though, mine are wirelss
wise barn
wireless = USB / Bluetooth
molten helm
Mine came with one, ill try that
Do I plug it into my monitor, speakers, or desktop? the 3.5 mm jack
@wise barn
wise barn
your headphones go to the green output on your PC, the mic goes to the pinkish input on your PC
if in doubt, see mainboard manual
molten helm
I only have one cord, and one end goes into the headset
wise barn
the 3.5mm is your phones then. no wired mic in this case.
molten helm
the mic is detachable from the headset
wise barn
got a link to your phones?
molten helm
wise barn
unless you have an adapter that splits the combi cable with one jack and 3 rings+tip into two jacks with 2 rings+tip, you won't have an analogue mic
molten helm
So I spent 150$ and they dont work as advertised wirelessly, i might as well take them back and got one cheaper that came equipped with 3.5 mm jack functionality
wise barn
looks like it
they might work with newer applications / games, but as i said not with applications prior to 2017
molten helm
Alright, thanks for your help, ill look into getting a splitter
or researching 3.5mm equipped headsets that are cheaper...

If anyone is still having issues with SelectionID spam in the .rpt logs while using ACE3 and older uniform ports, the issue is due to two missing HitPoints. It is the difference between using the HitPoints from the samples .p3ds A3_Character_example.p3d and A3_character_template.p3d. Make sure the _example HitPoints are used. It includes Arms and Face_Hub.
a3_character_template.p3d has this: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/526807116724305930/724583068656205845/unknown.png

So I made a mistake of upgrading to Windows 10. Now Arma 3 randomly freezes with black screen when I'm alt+tab'ing.
All googling and searches in this channel shows many people having same issue for years and "Fullscreen Window" being the solution.
grim tinsel
I've had that before, did you try out different window settings? (like fullscreen windowed and that kinda stuff)
Yeah thats what worked for me too
undone saffron
Trying Fullscreen Window right now. How come this wasn't fixed properly after all these years?
grim tinsel
Its propably on one of many To-do lists and hasnt been gotten to yet
propably not very high priority either since theres an easy workaround

Fullscreen Window seems to be working fine so far. Still, I remember laughing at friend for trying Windows 10 many years ago and ending up having this freezing issue in Arma 3, now I stepped on the same mine.
quaint jewel
I also don't run windows 10 so thats probably a factor too.
And devs usually run windowed non-fullscreen
so probably just literally noone noticed
grim tinsel
On to the Feedback tracker!

gentle charm
ehhh let’s see hope this is right place
issue: arma 3 isn’t able to run
after launching it from its launcher it seems to freeze when the arma 3 logo pops up but doesn’t crash or register as none responsive
Worked perfectly fine 2 days ago and I haven’t changed anything that relates to the game at all so I’m a bit lost as to why this has happened
And validating the steam files don’t seem to do anything
(If this is the wrong place please let me know)
steady hawk
Nah, your report is more precise than majority of reports; please proceed... So, first up: did you run without MODs?
gentle charm
Yes I have tried with and without
Exact same result
steady hawk
the arma 3 logo pops up
Means in-game (fullscreen splash screen) or loading one?
gentle charm
yes fullscreen splash screen
sits at 10FPS it seems and doesn’t do anything
Let it run for 2 hours and yea that didn’t work either
my only guess is smth is corrupt and it keeps failing to load it
Since cpu sits a 0,1% load on the game at all times
steady hawk
Does your game have -noSplash?
gentle charm
since I’m not much of a pc kind of person I do not know that
steady hawk
Nah it's not a PC related, Arma 3's launch option
If the game does not progress from the initial loading screen, try deleting the cache.ch file in the Arma 3 root installation folder and then restarting the game.
I found this in older article
gentle charm
Ahhh I’ll go try that in a sec then
and launch option thing I haven’t checked that but I will in second
steady hawk
Most of launch options could be checked/unchecked in the Launcher
gentle charm
Ahh yes -nosplash thing aka skip logos is currently enabled
steady hawk
Well since never heard of this problem, try the “official instructions” first is better before proceed?
gentle charm
back alright
official instructions care to make me understand ?
since well not very good at this and ye
steady hawk
Well so try this:
- Right click on Arma 3 in your Steam Lib
- Properties
- LOCAL FILES
- BROWSE LOCAL FILES
- Check if there's
cache.ch
gentle charm
right right hold on then
Yep found it
And delete it right?
making sure don’t wanna mess s#%t up again
steady hawk
If you doubt at it, copy and paste it somewhere and remove it from loot folder
gentle charm
right right I’ll do that then
Just Incase
steady hawk
Also, better sensor your s*** 🙂 That's a massive noise! 😄
Ouch
Just in case, try disable Skip Logos?

Anybody ever come across a situation where the addon options "Client" tab is greyed out and not editable? Happening with latest workshop versions of ace and cba and no other mods loaded.
I received help with this problem saying that I can only change the client settings after starting the game and not having started mission, server or editor yet.
I've tried to do this over and over again with different mod setups, creating new profiles etc. but still haven't been able to change the client settings. Is there anyway to force specifically the client settings via scripts or does anybody have other suggestions for solving the problem?

weary sky
You mean the CBA Settings?
Because that is normal 😉
Client settings can only be changed from the main menu, not while in-game (which includes the editor)
And make sure you always start the game with a terrain (aka world) loaded, for which VR is great since it's way faster than any other terrain.
fringe salmon
I think that's the way I've been trying to change the setting. Starting the game from Launcher and before opening the editor or joining servers or anything, I go into the Options-Addon options -menu. Yet still the client tab is not accessable.
supple crystal
@weary sky @fringe salmon It actually depends on the setting, for example lots of ACE stuff can't be edited mid mission, but intercom volume for TFAR can be edited mid mission, CBA has a flag for mod makers to set something as editable mid mission.
As as for why you can't change anything at all, I have no idea sorry.
weary sky
I just tested with just ACE and CBA, and I had the same issue.
Although I believe it could be related to the fact that ACE doesn't have client settings (?), which seems odd to me since some settings are client-side only.
supple crystal
Might be a bug that needs addressing then, as I know for a fact you used to be able to, that why when setting up your servers cba_settings.pbo you can choose the no flag, force or force force options
fringe salmon
Yea, and I'm fairly certain that going back 1-2 months I was also able to change the settings.
And I don't believe it to be because ACE lacks client settings. I have the same problem with other mods and their client options being greyed out (for example. TFAR).

hey guys, the past 3 days ive been having this crash and error constantly when im moving vehicles in the zeus, or starting the engine of a vehicle. everything freezes, and crashes and gives me an exit code:0xc0000005 - status_access_violation message. everywhere ive gone said to change the launch parameters which i have, verify files, reinstalled the game, updated my system everything is where it needs to be. can anyone help? is anyone else having this issue? everything ive seen on the internet is dated back to 2018 but I've noticed this isnt the only time this has happend but last time i was transitioning to a new computer so it fixed itself through that, so the arma updates might be messing up my setup... i dont know, ive been troubleshooting since, and ive noticed another person is having the same issue, and if we load only BAF, or only RHSUSAF, or any other faction mod, thats when we get the crashes, its only occured with faction mods loaded, if i only have ace or something along those lines i dont get an issue.
weary sky
official troubleshooting: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Unusual_process_exit#0xC0000005_-_ACCESS_VIOLATION
This error is very generic. It may be caused by many issues, such as a hardware malfunction, a virus in the computer, but also an error in the game itself.
Although something that is never being mentioned is:
Start Steam as administrator, and start the game from Steam.
I believe that the error is caused because Arma isn't allowed to access certain files, and with Admin rights it can. How this is caused is unknown to me, although it could be due to broken updates or strange files in a mod.
karmic sage
ill try the administrator thing first thanks, seems live ive done the mahority of that link already but there are a few i havent. thanks, ill post back if i fail 🙂
karmic sage
dumb question looking into directx right now, Admin Failed but ive got DirectX 12 i notice on the steam page it says recomended 11 would having a newer version be part of the culprit? im not hugely tech savy and its been working in the past so im just wondering as i go down the list you gave me.

@karmic sage Arma does not do. Dynamic sound output changes. That can mess it up if you fiddle with that mid game. Also there are known Windows problems with USB audio that cause problems.
pine kite
those wont help there for windows 7 and 8
@pulsar orbit Windows 10 is exactly the same location.
median rivet
So how are users of AMD GPUs doing in A3? Anyone experiencing crashes after longer periods of playing Arma 3?
median rivet
are you certain it's the fan curve?
wise barn
pretty much. temps where building up, especially junction temp.
after setting a little more aggressive fan curve with earlier increase of slightly higher speeds, i got the temps under control and no more issues
keep an eye on your GPU temps when it happens, then edit the curve and try again
median rivet
hmm okay interesting. I'm on a vega 56 and after some hours arma 3 crashes. Screen turns black and everything but by waiting a bit and ctrl + alt + del I can still get to task manager, close arma and continue (although radeon application also reports as crashed)
But I noticed that so far this doesn't happen if I close all chrome based/electron application in the background
so on my end it looks more like some out video memory situation of some kind
(also vram usage while playing arma sits around 99% after some time, most of the the time)
wise barn
oh... vega
well, it's one of the worst and most troubled AMD cards ever.
still, try what i told you about temps. maybe that helps
median rivet
will take a look at it, thanks
uncut trellis
Make sure your cards heatsinks and fans are also clean

@acoustic acorn
- What the server?
- When is happened?
- What exactly is happened? (Is it the same with Alt+Tab?)
acoustic acorn
Some random PvE server
Happens any time I move my mouse or press any button
The game:
- Locks up my computer so I can't do anything, alt tab, use any other app, press anything.
- Minimizes at random moments to my desktop and then goes back to the game.
- Has very high input lag and what seems to be like "sticky keys", I press SHIFT + W to sprint forwards and release the keys, my character doesn't stop moving until I mash shift or W a solid 10 times
That's about it..
Other than "it makes my computer unusable" there's really no other symptom
steady hawk
Specs?
acoustic acorn
860 EVO; 16GB DDR4 2933MHz; 2600x, Vega 56
Every other game runs just fine
never any performance issues
steady hawk
Some random PvE server
What server and mission specifically?
acoustic acorn
Invasion and annex? I'm not sure what it is
it's the only co-op server with any players
my GPU usage spikes from 17% to 1% during spikes
steady hawk
How many players you could see in that server?
acoustic acorn
40 something
grim tinsel
I dont really think the server is the important part here
But try replicating it in SP @acoustic acorn
steady hawk
Well, thought is important if is like, L*fe
acoustic acorn
the issue happens only if I move my mouse fast
steady hawk
So you can play it flawlessly if you move your mouse slowly?
steady hawk
Don't know if these do matter though...
- Multiscreen?
- Mouse acceralation?
acoustic acorn
Yes; No
steady hawk
Do your other screens show Arma 3?
acoustic acorn
No
steady hawk
That might be the reason. I don't have multiscreen so I can't say exact things but maybe it happened if your cursor leaves your main screen
...Wait, do you have the issue in Singleplayer?
acoustic acorn
No
steady hawk
Never had? Even if shake your mouse on the entire your desk?
acoustic acorn
Yes
odd...
acoustic acorn
Doesn't help
steady hawk
Try in local multiplayer with empty mission however?
acoustic acorn
Now it does it in singleplayer
grim tinsel
Hav you tried different window modes? @acoustic acorn
acoustic acorn
Windowed fixes it
steady hawk
And fullscreen windowed?
acoustic acorn
Messes it up
steady hawk
I meant that
grim tinsel
ah
steady hawk
I searched for a bit and looks some were reported similar issue when multiscreen
steady hawk
acoustic acorn
Restarting my computer helped
oh well I guess I'll just refund the game, thanks for your help
steady hawk
Maybe that helps...

I had a couple of Alt-Tabbing like issues, to fix then I opened GeForce Experience and used the suggested settings, that worked for me
tardy oasis
blac screen on startup
only fixed ifi alt enter
but i dont want to play like that on small winodw
pls help
steady hawk
Sorry to hear that but we can't help you. Your claim is too vague
grim tinsel
You asked 3 minutes ago, give people time to respond
tardy oasis
i disabld my mods
and then i press play
i load game
its a black screen
unless i alt tab which i cant becausei made agme fullscreen
grim tinsel
have you tried different window modes? (as in windowed/fullscreen(or borderless)windowed/fullscreen)
tardy oasis
yes
and im stuck in fullscreen
and now i cant alt tab to actually see my game
because its fulscreen
when on my taskabr i hovr over arma 3 i see game but i see a blaxk screen
everything is the right resolution
grim tinsel
why would it being fullscreen stop you from alt tabbing 
tardy oasis
not alt tbbing
grim tinsel
And I recommend combining your thought into one message instead of many
tardy oasis
alt ennter
to mae it windowed and so on
please help this is annoying
should i verify integrity
weary sky
Use "Fullscreen Windowed" to solve all issues
tardy oasis
i cant get into it now
i puton fullscreen like a retard
and its black and i cant see anything neither alt tab to minimize it but soi can still see it
weary sky
CTRL+ALT+DELETE and kill the game
tardy oasis
ok
so u mean task manager
0tsym i fixed it
nvm
i broke it again
i fixed it wtf is this game i am in optios fix it and then when i exit the bloody settings it blacks vsreens again wtf
wise barn
@tardy oasis
what are your PC specs?
tardy oasis
idk
steady hawk
Open task manager > performance
wise barn
download the software called CPU-Z
tardy oasis
it was fine befor
wise barn
language, please
wise barn
no profanity/slurs
tardy oasis
ok
wise barn
thx
as said, download CPU-Z
once the program is running, you can see your CPU in the first tab
then go to the memory tab and see your RAM and RAM speeds
Graphics tab will give you the GPU

broken or incompatible mod likely
fringe salmon
i haven't seen this one before and i'd hate to unload the entire mod pack.
uncut trellis
remove the added mods
uncut trellis
thats like asking for trouble
its not how you are supposed to do stuff
that is basically impossible to debug
fringe salmon
well the alternative is to run like five different RP mods
a lot of them arrest the main menu
uncut trellis
well RP mods are also notoriously badly made
fringe salmon
i just want their models for cinematic shots
not the rest of the scripts and stuff lol
uncut trellis
"I just want" does not make it possible
wise barn
I use a local mod pack that i add files to from other mods
that is basically impossible to debug

hey there, does anyone know a solution for this issue?
https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/229824-trackir-issues/
pine kite
@tender lark responded there.
acoustic wave
so my friend is trying to host server. The upnp works and he has forwarded the ports but the server doesnt appear in the list and when i try to join through steam it says "server is not responding"
acoustic wave
how do i do that?
wise barn
he has to contact his ISP
and ask
sometimes the router status shows the IP
if there is no IPv4 address listed it's DSlite
and then: no luck
acoustic wave
well he has same ISP as my other friend who has forwarded ports and i can join his server
pine kite
That's no guarantee. They could both have different router models requiring different IP address pool assignments. Or live in different places behind different upstream equipment of the ISP.
tender lark
@tender lark responded there.
@pine kite
Thanks, responded to you as well...to make it short here, yes I did...no success 🤷♂️

Sorry, no other idea then as to the solution.
maiden grove
whenever i walk around theres this crackling/popping noise
in A2
anyone know how to fix?
weary sky
Normally #end_of_life_arma for Arma 2 stuff, however since it can also happen with Arma 3 here some pointers:
- Make sure you have all your drivers up-to-date
- Try using the 32bit version of the game instead of 64bit, this might solve the issue
- Do not use any audio software like Voicemeeter
desert isle
^ that too

thanks @weary sky
inland nest
is it a known feature that forwarding time (x2 or x4) breaks convoys?
as soon as I use it, only the first vehicle moves, the others either don't at all, or they take another 2 minutes to arrive.
anything I could do about it?
uncut trellis
why do you need to forward the time?
and if you have to, does it matter how the trucks move, just move them with setpos to right place when game resumes
inland nest
because it takes a while for the convoy to arrive and I don't want to wait for 5 minutes 😄
well, they are supposed to drive into some explosives put down by the player, teleporting them wouldn't be good
uncut trellis
are you testing something?
inland nest
yes, testing my own mission.
uncut trellis
then just make them start closer
and move them to the real starting location when your testing is complete
inland nest
but what if the player accelerates time while playing? it would break the mission
uncut trellis
dunno. If that has a problem then you may need to set up the convoy differently
steady hawk
You can prevent players from changing game speed
inland nest
You can? oh nice, I didn't know. is it a script command or a setting in 3den?
steady hawk
addMissionEventHandler ["HandleAccTime", {
setAccTime 1;
}];```
Will doah, nice, thank you :)
rugged atlas
Hey there!
Me and my friend, @tame pumice, are trying to play Antistasi on a private server.
I've heard that hosting with UPnP is possible so I enabled that on my router and in windows settings.
(Arma 3 doesnt show that port forwarding failed error so it probably means that UPnP is working)
I gave my friend my IP but for some reason, he can't connect. He gets kicked back to the server tab while trying to connect without any errors.
Any fixes to this? I'm stumped on this. :D
lucid isle
Hey guys
I experimented one day with making custom animations, and for whatever reason, I dont have anymore animations in Arma, If I spawn in it makes a fall over animation and all other animations are completley broken, If I play KOTH, its the same. I have tried many official and unofficial servers and I cant move in any of them its completely broken. From my understanding Arma 3 Signatures should prevent me from loading any unauthorised mods onto servers with signatures enabled, which means this bug is not related to the mods I made for animations, as those PBO's are both not loaded, and would not be able to join the server if they were loaded. Please help, I have reinstalled Arma twice, deleting all Arma content including the profiles folder. I still can't play anything Arma.
wise barn
unload all mods and then verify game files via steam
fringe salmon
@rugged atlas just tell him to join you through steam friends
i don't know how to do more advanced hosting

do you have some anti-virus which is blocking it?

turned it off

and in the launcher you enabled the checkbox in the BattlEye tab?
outer horizon
yep
weary sky
you could try this (found on forums):
- Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\BattlEye and delete contents in that folder.
- Now open ArmA 3 game by Launcher and see if that BE folder populates with the new files.
- If it doesn't update the BE folder, go to the Steam window and right-click on ArmA 3 > Properties
- Select the Local Files tab in that window and select Verify Integrity of Game Files
- After that, launch ArmA 3 again and it should update the BattleEye folder.
