#

it keeps coming

#

i removed the file that is the problem and verified ,still it keeps coming , i think it can happen from port forwarding

weary sky Jul 16, 2020, 1:05 PM

#

is it an official server?

chilly cloud Jul 16, 2020, 1:06 PM

#

yup, also same for KOTH

weary sky Jul 16, 2020, 1:06 PM

#

in that case it's on your end, and port forwarding doesn't cause broken files

i have managed to add my server here although i cant conenct to my server any way through launcher or arma self

chilly cloud Jul 16, 2020, 1:25 PM

#

i think its port fowarding, because who ever in the same network, which port forwarding applies ,have the same problem

#

or maybe network issue , i will see it more

rotund horizon Jul 16, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

in the unit page it says it can connect to server but i still cant see anything
weird thing is it shows in my recent servers of Steam-server-list because i joined it when i had it on LAN. Although i can join through it and peopel can join through steam friends so the server is connectable. Although its still not shwoing up in the serverlsit

fringe salmon Jul 16, 2020, 3:10 PM

@steady hawk I don't have any mods

ive looked on internet

fringe salmon Jul 16, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

And?

rotund horizon Jul 16, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

your previous install/delete left stuff in your Windows-register and when you downloaded the game again the downlaod failed because the register keys were invalid

#

thats what i see on google

fringe salmon Jul 16, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

So I should just delete all of the files?

rotund horizon Jul 16, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

maybe not best translation as it was in my language but something like that

#

no deleting the game doesnt deletes register keys

#

i would only try this as last resort

fringe salmon Jul 16, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

Then idk what to do

#

I'm just trying to re-install

rotund horizon Jul 16, 2020, 5:19 PM

Need some help here! Was half way through downloading a mod(cup terrain)from steamworkshop. Paused it and downloaded another very small mod. When tried to resume (cup terrain) it starts from beginning. Tried verify game files with same result.!!!

wise barn Jul 17, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

it might be possible that the download got corrupted when paused. redownload the full mod

olive hinge Jul 17, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

@wise barn But i thought steam is smart enough to sort out the corruption and patch it with missing files. With my pathetic internet speed ,i guess, i should have downloaded it as local mod and not via steam.

wise barn Jul 17, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

But i thought steam is smart enough to sort out the corruption
hell no 😂

#

steam is fast, but not smart

#

but if you DL via steam, it is easier to a) keep it updated and b) corruption can be better fixed after a complete DL

olive hinge Jul 17, 2020, 7:22 PM

Exactly that's why went steam route., for the updates. But here I am ,with other side of the coin😄

I hope this is the right place here as the problem is more a graphical issue:

What are they? How is it called so i can research further?
Is there a setting or anything i can do to have brightness of the sky be more smooth and not being seperated in several steps?

I'm having an issue signing a mod. I have tried several times to sign it but our server still gives us "blablabla.pbo is not signed by a key accepted by the server. Whats weird is that a friend of mine has made another mod. And we signed them in the exact same way. His work, mine dont...

#

And the .bikey's are obviously put in the correct keys folder on the server.

brave hawk Jul 18, 2020, 7:47 PM

@grave venture try renaming Arma3.cfg to e.g Arma3.cfg.bak

Is it possible to find out the source of these messages in rpt:
`Unit O Alpha 1-2:1 (0xfd6dc140) - network ID 2:1824

no person
`
Have 57 million lines of this in server rpt in a 2 hour 20 minute window, causing a 2.4GB log file, and choking the server to ~15 fps. Headless client and players also have the same sort of messages and similarly large log files and crippled fps.
This is more a query for the bohemia guys, as without knowing what part of the game actually prints these messages, I have no way of finding what is causing them. It's not reproducible as it is so seemingly random, so I can't just launch the server again and watch it happen.

unkempt oxide Jul 19, 2020, 6:07 PM

#

which mission / mods you using? @iron anchor ... it's definitely a mission or a mod ... as if it wasn't every server in the world would report the same thing ... rpt can be printed to by anyone using bis_fn_log / diag_log etc ...

uncut trellis Jul 19, 2020, 6:54 PM

#

Probs something broken in the mission. To verify run some simple 1 character on map scenario and see if the problem persists.

iron anchor Jul 19, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

No it's an arma log, not a mod or the mission. The missions are custom every week so we don't play the same mission twice, and the issue has occurred a few times, but not every week.

I can't reproduce it as it is to prove that a 1 character mission fixes it, therefore I can't determine that the mission is the cause.

The problem really is it's a completely useless log message that provides no real means of tracking the issue down, especially as i cannot reproduce it
I've no doubt that it is probably some mod or script in the missions that has triggered it, however without knowing where it is actually coming from from within arma, and not being able to reproduce it, I can't tell what to fix in the mods/missions

I only know this issue in combination with old terrains or old "improvement" mods, which are not up to date with the lighting system of Apex. In short, the sky and/or fog turns black and requires an update in the configs.

#

So either you have something running next to the vanilla game, or you have an old version of Arma 3...

On my server, when new players join, everyone else's gear gets reset to the starting gear. Were using ACE Arsenal. Anyone have any tips?

#

Never ran into this issue before

weary sky Jul 19, 2020, 11:46 PM

let me guess, the gear is set in the units init and contains player ... do stuff

shadow geode Jul 19, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

I never messed with the unit's init

#

The problem is when they pull their loadout out of arsenal, it doesnt stay, it gets reset.

#

Any advice?

weary sky Jul 19, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

Still sounds like a script running somewhere which gets triggered for all players.
Which could be in your mission or in a (broken) mod

shadow geode Jul 19, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

Any ideas on how to track down if it exists in either?

#

Finding the mod would probably have to be trial and error I suppose?

weary sky Jul 19, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

for mission scripts, simply try to figure out where the starting gear and/or loadouts are handled.
for mods; yes, although I can't think of any mod which breaks loadouts... so most likely something weird

That doesn’t mean the mission hasn’t started yet.

That is probably what is happening

Is there anything I should look for in my scripts (but as I remember, nothing changed with JIP messges, if it is tied)?

quaint jewel Jul 20, 2020, 7:33 PM

#

nothing you can do

shy pasture Jul 20, 2020, 7:42 PM

#

It depends on network data flow, I guess? So the more action I get in mission, the more frequent messages will appear?

quaint jewel Jul 20, 2020, 7:42 PM

#

not necessarily

#

its some engine bug. Probably only happens with some messages.
Just having alot of traffic doesn't mean that these specific messages that cause the issue are being sent alot

#

guys im encountering a weird issue
i have OBS studio running on windows 10, i cant seem to record arma 3 at all on vanilla.
i select game capture and target it to the correct window, the executable running and i tried it on both fullscreen and borderless as well as the anticheat patch

#

i've also changed various display settings and set the graphics settings on windows to handle it

#

im using nvidia gpu

uncut trellis Jul 21, 2020, 7:15 AM

#

Have you tried reporting issue to Obs support? Also reinstalling it or updating it might be helpful

fringe salmon Jul 21, 2020, 7:16 AM

#

i just installed it

#

this is a fresh laptop

uncut trellis Jul 21, 2020, 7:17 AM

#

What is anticheat patch?

fringe salmon Jul 21, 2020, 7:17 AM

#

something called a "use anticheak hook" in the game capture settings on obs

#

might be used to prevent battleye from thinking its a hack by recording

grim tinsel Jul 21, 2020, 7:19 AM

#

Whenever i need to record anything I just use screen capture

#

But I only do small stuff so

uncut trellis Jul 21, 2020, 7:21 AM

#

I've been using OBS for some time now but have had no issues. I do have Ati card tho. So maybe something up with nvidia

desert isle Jul 21, 2020, 7:22 AM

#

Not sure if @wise barn is awake or not, but he's pretty knowledgeable on the subject as well.

quaint jewel Jul 21, 2020, 7:45 AM

#

@fringe salmon Battleye is probably blocking OBS. But window capture should work

wise barn Jul 21, 2020, 9:32 AM

#

i never had this issue in person, but i've heard about it. no idea how to solve it

weary sky Jul 21, 2020, 1:25 PM

#

I running the latest OBS Studio and have no problems at all.

#

Arma 3 -> Fullscreen Borderless

Game Capture:

Limit frameframe
Capture Cursor
Use anti-cheat compatibility hook
Hook Rate: normal

quaint jewel Jul 21, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

screen capture doesn't need hook

#

GameCapture does, and BE blocks the hooking

weary sky Jul 21, 2020, 1:33 PM

that must be new than, because 2 months ago I could record/stream without any issues

hello, my arma server works now, although some mods dont want to load. I currentlvy have 27 mods working like ace and stuff. But some mods wont load and make the server unable to boot. I know they work on servers as they were running on other servers. They have an error like this one only with other folder name as its another mod. https://ibb.co/PG0j5kP

weary sky Jul 21, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

sounds like the mod is broken or you have another mod which breaks is...

rotund horizon Jul 21, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

Then why does it work on another server with the same mods?

quaint jewel Jul 21, 2020, 3:42 PM

#

pbo file is not lowercase

#

I told you multiple times already that on Linux server all pbo's need to be lowercase

wise barn Jul 21, 2020, 4:00 PM

@quaint jewel its not pbo missions it's the mod

There's no uppercase anywhere

quaint jewel Jul 21, 2020, 5:57 PM

I don't think I said anything about mission pbo's

#

What is the exact filename of the esseker.pbo?

It's not all mods its just a few that are not working

Try setting rw for group rights too. Or maybe guests.
Arma server needs write access to pbos

owner is arma3server for all

quaint jewel Jul 21, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

Well server can't open file.
Most common reason: uppercase letters
Second most common: no read/write access
Third most common, but this one was usually caused by a bug in Arma server that was fixed: max open file limit reached

rotund horizon Jul 21, 2020, 6:19 PM

i have 8 mods that didnt wanna work including esseker

#

and 27 that are working currently

quaint jewel Jul 21, 2020, 6:24 PM

The causes listed above are the only ones I know and can think of

wise barn Jul 21, 2020, 6:28 PM

Run the 8 mods without the other 27

#

If they load you had hit the limit

rotund horizon Jul 21, 2020, 6:29 PM

I'll try that later

Could I increase it if that's the case?

wise barn Jul 21, 2020, 6:30 PM

On Linux, no idea. A fix for windows is in dev branch iirc

Okay

quaint jewel Jul 21, 2020, 6:32 PM

is it possible i signed it incorrectly? In the addon folder its showing the pbo and the bisign

Ive double checked to make sure the mod is loaded on the server. how would I troubleshoot the issue

(yes its on steam WS)

wise barn Jul 22, 2020, 7:57 AM

did you place your key into the keys folder on the server?

fringe salmon Jul 22, 2020, 7:58 AM

Yes

#

none of my players are able to connect either. so im almost certain its something I did incorrect, Would linking the mod here to search for error help?

arma 3 tools publisher is also detecting the addon as signed.

Did you packed the pbo via pboManager?

quaint jewel Jul 22, 2020, 9:38 AM

@rotund horizon increasing limits needs shell restart.
Have you tried what audiocustoms said? just try loading the 7 "broken" mods and not the others.
If that works you know its a file open limit problem

rotund horizon Jul 22, 2020, 10:20 AM

#

@quaint jewel esseker works although the other mods still dont when i only loaded mods that didnt work before

#

esseker is also the only one showing in list of active mods when starting server (which is unable to luanch)

#

for same reason : cannot open file

#

is it a program linux doesnt have installed that you need to open these things?

quaint jewel Jul 22, 2020, 10:28 AM

no

hey guys. So I am trying to create a pbo using pbomanager, to do this i have been told to right click on the folder that i want turned into a pbo and the context menu should have the option to turn it into a pbo.

however pbo manager doesn't show up on my context menu. i have tried reinstalling pbomanager and the few people i have found online with the same issues, never got answers. i have had this issue multiple days so restarting doesnt seem to fix. Anyone able to help? driving me insane this is.

So I've been trying to host a private server for a friend and I, Ive done port forwarding 2302 and enabled UPnP then tried to host the server ingame and my friend couldn't join, any tips or am I missing something?

weary sky Jul 23, 2020, 6:38 PM

#

Make sure you have a IPv4 address, and not IPv6-only
check https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Dedicated_Server#Port_Forwarding, because you'll need more ports forwarded (TCP and UDP)

pine kite Jul 23, 2020, 6:45 PM

#

no, only UDP, but 2302 through to 2306. I have not opened TCP for my dedicated server and it works fine. (more ports are needed if you want to host multiple servers simultaneously)

Hey, I have encountered a problem with hosting my own private server. My friends can't join the server.
I've looked through a lot of sites which explain on how to set it up correctly.

Enabling UPnP, portforwarding ports from 2302-2306 And no success.
Am I missing something?

supple crystal Jul 25, 2020, 12:04 PM

#

If your ISP uses IPV6 then your out of luck

#

@upbeat rune ^^

upbeat rune Jul 25, 2020, 12:06 PM

#

For me its disabled in the router options

#

Router's IPv6 Address On WAN Not Available

supple crystal Jul 25, 2020, 12:07 PM

#

sometimes what shows on your end is IPV4 but in the backend its actually IPV6

#

check your IP on a whatsmyip site

upbeat rune Jul 25, 2020, 12:07 PM

#

can I use the command promt for that?

#

Ipv6 not detected

pine kite Jul 25, 2020, 12:35 PM

#

Is the point forward pointing to the correct private IPv4 address of the server computer?

viscid oyster Jul 25, 2020, 12:58 PM

#

@quaint jewel ill try tomorrow and also thanks for replying. your the only that replied to me for the past 5 hours of asking in reddit and discord

upbeat rune Jul 25, 2020, 3:17 PM

#

@pine kite Its directed, to the actual PC I am using to host

pine kite Jul 25, 2020, 3:19 PM

#

It may change on a day to day basis, so make sure it is still valid.

#

Specifying that: your PC holds a lease on that private IP for a limited time. If your pc was off during the expiration moment another device on the network booting up may have received the IP address you initially portforwarded to.

upbeat rune Jul 25, 2020, 3:22 PM

#

Thing is, if I disabled UPnP on the router, the game registers that and gives out a message that UPnP is disabled

#

but when its on, it properly starts without any issues

pine kite Jul 25, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

ip assignment has noting to do with portforwarding or Upnp

#

IP assignment is a DHCP service.

upbeat rune Jul 25, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

Right, so what do you suggest I do exactly?

pine kite Jul 25, 2020, 3:24 PM

#

check if your pc still has the same IP as what was portforwarded to.

upbeat rune Jul 25, 2020, 3:24 PM

#

through command promt?

pine kite Jul 25, 2020, 3:25 PM

#

command prompt ipconfig gives that. Also details of network adapter should give that.

upbeat rune Jul 25, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

They are identical

pine kite Jul 25, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

ok, that solves one possible cause.

upbeat rune Jul 25, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

in both Cmd promt and in the Port Forwarding tab in my router

pine kite Jul 25, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

Can you tell what it is?

upbeat rune Jul 25, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

Wouldn't that reveal my location?

pine kite Jul 25, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

no, private ip addressed only apply to devices behind your router. I might have the same in my home.

upbeat rune Jul 25, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

192.168.1.2 in Cmd Promt and is set the same in the port forwarding tab

#

I've even copied it over

pine kite Jul 25, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

Ok, correct kind of IP.

upbeat rune Jul 25, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

Thats the IPv4 adress

pine kite Jul 25, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

192.168.1.2 used to be a server in my home.

upbeat rune Jul 25, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

Nice, so what could be the cause?

pine kite Jul 25, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

You gave your friend the IP address YOU get when visiting whatsmyip.net ?

upbeat rune Jul 25, 2020, 3:31 PM

#

He joins via steam

#

I have not given them my IP, I host the server and they "try" to join and past that they get 'server not responding'

pine kite Jul 25, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

Ok, sorry, not very familair with how Steam handles that way.

upbeat rune Jul 25, 2020, 3:33 PM

#

and thats on what I've been stuck on since yesterday, I dont know what I have set incorrectly, which doesn't let people join

pine kite Jul 25, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

Are you running the server from within the game. Or as a seperate application?

upbeat rune Jul 25, 2020, 3:34 PM

#

Within the game

pine kite Jul 25, 2020, 3:35 PM

#

Well, then it is technically not a dedicated server. It is hosted multiplayer.

upbeat rune Jul 25, 2020, 3:35 PM

#

I go into Multiplayer> Server browser> Host Server and do the rest

#

Well its not supposed to be a dedicated server

pine kite Jul 25, 2020, 3:35 PM

#

Should work the way you set it up, I think

upbeat rune Jul 25, 2020, 3:35 PM

Run and play type

pine kite Jul 25, 2020, 3:36 PM

#

How did you set up the firewall for Arma?

upbeat rune Jul 25, 2020, 3:37 PM

#

I have Arma 3 allowed through the Firewall

#

and for some reason I have more than 10 instances of it in the Inbound Rules tab

pine kite Jul 25, 2020, 3:39 PM

#

Well, that can be the culprit. I suggest only one with only allow UDP port 2302-2306. No specification of application. No problem to mention Arma in the name.

#

Is that through advandced firewall? Or the simple version?

upbeat rune Jul 25, 2020, 3:39 PM

#

Through the advanced section which shows all the applications

pine kite Jul 25, 2020, 3:40 PM

#

Ok, I fell for the trap to name a specific executable. Doesn't work then

upbeat rune Jul 25, 2020, 3:40 PM

#

But as you said, maybe adding the 2302-2306 port as a new inbound rule

#

should that be set for outbound too?

pine kite Jul 25, 2020, 3:41 PM

#

outbound is not restricted by default. Any program can use whichever port to go online.

#

but remove those 10 rules (for Arma) of unknown origin. Could be that one of them has a faulty rule setting.

upbeat rune Jul 25, 2020, 3:42 PM

#

Alright, I'll boot up Arma then and see what happens

#

Alright so it created 2 new Arma 3 instances, cause it needed my own verification

#

@pine kite So, same issue, they can't join and get a "server not responding" message

pine kite Jul 25, 2020, 8:01 PM

Weeks ago someone here or in the Antistasi discord posted a link to check whether Steam knows if your server is online. But I can't remember who or where the post was. Can't find a bookmark for it either.

quaint jewel Jul 26, 2020, 8:32 PM

more details? what's not working?

haughty orbit Jul 26, 2020, 8:32 PM

#

a good part of the moduales are not loading and it has even removed some of the vannilla ones, like remote control.

#

I had a similar issue when testing my scenarios out on a private lan server but those were fixed by making sure the Zeus module had "allow all addons even unofficial ones" selected.

pine kite Jul 26, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

@pine kite yup, same problem here.
@olive hinge Then you have a work around there. Login into a server with the launcher should load any required mods with it. Since they are official servers they won't have mods anyway. So undoing any mods and join them from within the game should work.

what is the name for the mission for altis warlords I've tried both mission_f_warlords and mp_warlords_01.altis neither work

#

I think the issue I was having is because it couldn't find the mission

if it wouldn't find the mission you would still be able to login as admin and choose one

fringe salmon Jul 26, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

@haughty orbit. I have the same issue, i only got it to work by having it as an optional mod

#

I was told to load it as a server mod but that completely broke the mod for me, went to their discord and they told me its working fine for them, do you use #adminlogged parameter

true ridge Jul 26, 2020, 10:17 PM

#

has anyone ever had an issue where after a reinstallation of windows, joystick GUIDs change and all your previous joystick keybinds no longer work and you have to go through them all again?

#

any solution to fix that WITHOUT having to manually rebind it all? :/ much appreciated

#

is it possible to change the device GUID itself? since it's less stable than my bloody mood to begin with anyway and definitely not something bound to the devices themselves but rather an arbitrary callsign windows uses to refer to the devices it detects

#

or am I mistaken?

#

thanks for any clue at all

haughty orbit Jul 26, 2020, 10:38 PM

#

@fringe salmon I will try it as an optional mod, im not sure what adminlogged parameter means but i will also check that out.

fringe salmon Jul 26, 2020, 11:00 PM

#

meaning if your logged in as admin on your server you can use zeus

haughty orbit Jul 26, 2020, 11:01 PM

#

@fringe salmon no, zeus is reserved for 1 player slot and thats it, anyone can take that spot and use zeus. How do u make the mod optional btw?

fringe salmon Jul 26, 2020, 11:15 PM

#

@haughty orbit just put the key in the folder

#

if your using tadst uncheck the mod folder in mods and put the key in the folder

@fringe salmon OK ill give it a shot, thank u

Uh my Arma gave me an error saying “Too many virtual memory blocks requested”, I’m tried to do a single player scenario and then the game crashed and I can’t load the scenario again

#

@brittle knoll IIRC that error means not enough or broken RAM

solemn needle Jul 27, 2020, 8:34 AM

#

yo, I hope this is the right channel for this
so, I have an issue with my launcher that I can't figure out. Every time I open the launcher, it defaults to old setings and a previous set of mods I haven't used in a while. nothing is saved, there is no persistence, it always reverts to old parameters and mods. I've tried everything I can think of, and not even the more experienced people in my other discord are able to help. I've tried reinstalling Arma, verifying game files, changing settings, deleted the Launcher fold in the Arma directory, and I can't think of anything else.

brittle knoll Jul 27, 2020, 8:52 AM

@supple crystal I fixed it, just had to run the old man scenario and it reset the rest of them. Thanks tho 🙂

you can also check the view and object distance in your graphics settings, because if they are too low you also get fog up to that distance

but usually the server/mission has settings which sets a maximum range, or simply adds fog

quartz violet Jul 28, 2020, 9:54 PM

So I am currently dealing with some problems involving the profile system of Arma. A week ago I changed my profile name for Arma to fit my Unit name, later I joined an Op which during the beginning the server randomly crashed. Now since then, every time I launch arma it creates a new profile using the name I had prior to updating it. No matter how many times I delete the profile in game and in the files it comes back as soon as I open the game again. It also becomes the profile that is automatically launched when I open Arma.

weary sky Jul 28, 2020, 9:56 PM

what should I do?
I already re-installed the game and all the mods

uncut trellis Jul 31, 2020, 11:55 AM

check rpt logs if they have any errors or warnings happening at the time of crashing

and you must test if it happens without mods as it could be some sort of severe mod issue too

if the server for some reason has a ping limit set, and if you get too much network load on your system due to crappy mods, the server kicks you.

look at your router, write down the model and version number. then google for <your router model> + port forwarding

look at your router, write down the model and version number. then google for <your router model> + port forwarding

Is there a setting to prevent people from voting admin when there's a logged admin present, can't seem to find one

quaint jewel Aug 1, 2020, 6:00 PM

#

I think they shouldn't be able to vote an admin in that case

rotund horizon Aug 1, 2020, 6:01 PM

#

Welp, they can somehow

#

Had it on a rent windows server and the Linux one I made

quaint jewel Aug 1, 2020, 6:03 PM

#

can just disable voting overall maybe

rotund horizon Aug 1, 2020, 6:03 PM

Yeah, but then people can only change the map when there's a logged admin present

#

@wise barn which option is to disable logged admin override?

wise barn Aug 1, 2020, 6:07 PM

#

there is no override. either don't allow admin vote, or set a higher threshold

#

a server doesn't need a voted admin to change missions

Yeah, but we tend to have one incase modders come etc and when people are toxic

#

I'm wondering if someone could maybe do me a favour and have a look at my most recent RPT for my rented dedicated? I've looked through it, but I have no idea really what to look for. It was running great a few days ago, like 40+ server FPS, and then one day it just pooped the bed. Now, within 5 minutes I'm down to 10 fps. Same missions, I've even tried an incredibly small mission (the smallest I've ran on the dedicated), and the issue still persists. Wiped all mods and server files, reinstalled. No dice. When I go somewhere where there is literally no AI and no buildings, server FPS still hang around the 10 mark, but client skyrockets to 60ish. It's running the 64 bit exe. I also have a HC that was working swimmingly, which now makes absolutely no difference but is running and functioning correctly, so I'm really thinking it's a server side problem. I just don't know if it's software or hardware related and can't tell from the RPT. Cheers

Ummmm ... Help ! The hell is up with Arma ? Playing "Eastern Wind" , got control of an UAV, then when I released it, I can't move left or right, I can look up and down, or if I get in a vehicle, I can look around. But when I'm out of the vehicle, I can't look around, my cursor gets dragged back

I can look around with ALT. But not actually aim around

Ummm ... I just took control of another Unit, everything works perfectly fine ... (using SSPCM)

Ummm ... Ok, reverted back to a save, everything works just fine ...

As a result, the unobserved exception was rethrown by the finalizer thread. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute.

I sometimes have the problem when I tab in and out of the game, that my sound will be missing. If I activate Spotify I can hear the music so its the game audio that stops for some reason. Does somebody know a solution to this problem since I often tab out to write on Discord?

#

Restarting the game fixes it so far but I hope theres another fix. It happens with and without mods aswell as in SP as MP.

use Fullscreen Window, that should solve issues with ALT-TAB

Always start with the basics and provide background.

Does your PC meet (at least) the recommended specs? What OS are you running? Is it up to date? If Windows, is it a preview edition? Are you using mods? Do you still have this issue even when not using mods? If you create a new user profile, are you still getting this issue? Is this issue restricted to one particular server or all servers (including official Bohemia Interactive servers)?

Hi all, i am looking for some help. I am in love with this game but i am also at the end of my rope. I have tried all online solutions and done whatever i can logically think of so i am coming here for ideas. My issue is that no matter what i do, i CANNOT get my game to run higher than 30-40 fps, believe it or not i was actually worse and used to be around 20-25 fps, but after removing the bloodlust mod, i got 30-40 as forementioned. I know its not my PC or hardware thats an issue, so i am coming to you guys who in all likelyhood know better than i do. Have you ever had fps issues with ArmA? if so how did you fix it? are there any mods on my mod list would possibly be the cause? I have altered all my starting parameters manually, currently my settings are - Cpu count (6), HyperThreading enabled, Memory allocation is intel TBB4, System memory (16059), and Video memory (8192).. I have also installed the dev version (profiling build).. My video settings in game are pretty much maxed out (aside from view distance and object distance, im aware that creates lag when maxed out. However i have noticed that even on the lowest settings, my fps goes up to at MOST +5 frames. Someone please help before i literally run from Australia to Bohemia Interactive and grab a dev by the collar and furiously shake him until i get some answers. Thank you all in advance and sorry for the long post. Kind regards.

MODLIST

https://anonfiles.com/z4t52bKbo6/modlist_png

uncut trellis Aug 5, 2020, 3:35 AM

#

best would be to disable all the launch parameter shenannigans. The game should be able to detect all that stuff for you. Then run the autodetect video settings.

#

Also compare fps when running without mods.

#

mods can easily eat up lots of frames

#

and your video settings and view distance affects a lot too

flat junco Aug 5, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

hmmm

#

my video settings are on ultra, but even on low with minumum distances its the same deal.

uncut trellis Aug 5, 2020, 3:36 AM

#

low and minimum do not help

#

they move work from gpu to cpu

#

also check your graphics cards own settings

#

I have 5700 XT too and it had bunch of "special enhancing" features on that ate a lot of frames

#

also... 🙈 check your facts..

flat junco Aug 5, 2020, 3:38 AM

uncut trellis Aug 5, 2020, 3:38 AM

and the other one is in Australia

flat junco Aug 5, 2020, 3:39 AM

#

im not literally going to run from australia to BI 😂

#

regardless, good to know you have the same card. What FPS do you average?

uncut trellis Aug 5, 2020, 3:39 AM

#

100 or so

#

drops around towns naturally

#

but I dont also run that much mods

#

you have a lot

#

and some of those are not very great quality either

#

I would strongly suggest running only handful of those that you need at any given time

flat junco Aug 5, 2020, 3:41 AM

#

how many mods do you run at once?

uncut trellis Aug 5, 2020, 3:42 AM

#

a handful

flat junco Aug 5, 2020, 3:42 AM

#

im running around 55-60 i think

uncut trellis Aug 5, 2020, 3:42 AM

#

thats a lot of room for bugs

flat junco Aug 5, 2020, 3:42 AM

#

bloodlust was having a decent impact on FPS

uncut trellis Aug 5, 2020, 3:42 AM

#

imo its very silly to run all the mods just because you have them

flat junco Aug 5, 2020, 3:44 AM

#

ok i will try disabling all of them and comparing FPS. Do any on the imagelist i provided stick out to you as FPS eaters?

#

or CPU hungry or anything?

#

@uncut trellis you still there dude?

Again, it depends on mission/scripts/MODs/any other environment. If there's any MODs (suspect there's nothing at all yet,) better to remove them before do further

Can you see something in Editor?

abstract oak Aug 5, 2020, 10:50 AM

does it mean anything

wise barn Aug 5, 2020, 10:50 AM

#

stop... too far already
launch the game WITHOUT mods, just DLC

abstract oak Aug 5, 2020, 10:50 AM

#

not at all? no mod?

steady hawk Aug 5, 2020, 10:50 AM

#

Not at all

wise barn Aug 5, 2020, 10:50 AM

#

for troubleshooting, NO MODS

abstract oak Aug 5, 2020, 10:51 AM

#

okay

I put some UAVs like the UCAV Sentinel, MQ-A4 Greyhawk and MQ-12 Falcon to the CfgWLRequisitionPresets of my custom Warlords mission but whenever one of them gets called/bought they are not listening to orders, even when brought up into the air again after landing and then given a waypoint to fly to they just turn around and fly out of the map.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it?

PS: If you only have an idea why it's happening but not how to fix it please still tell me because if I would know what is causing it I might be able to come up with a way to fix it myself.

@abstract oak first rule, don't play with ripped/stolen content then ask for help.

abstract oak Aug 5, 2020, 11:20 AM

#

What do you mean

desert isle Aug 5, 2020, 11:20 AM

#

Secondly, never ever test with other mods loaded.

#

All of the KA stuff has been ripped / stolen.

#

theres a reason hes banned here

abstract oak Aug 5, 2020, 11:21 AM

#

I swear

desert isle Aug 5, 2020, 11:22 AM

#

Going back to the car/mechanic analogy, you would never take your car to the dealership after you've added lots of aftermarket parts to the engine and then ask whats wrong.

abstract oak Aug 5, 2020, 11:23 AM

#

I didn’t know

#

Then would a mod be okay if it was gotten off other mods but edited?

desert isle Aug 5, 2020, 11:24 AM

#

no, not without consent of the original author.

#

Even then, it would violate the Steam Workshop terms of use.

mhhhhh I'm having a ryzen 3700x and a Vega 64 GPU: Neither the CPU nore the GPU are running higher then 60% load but the FPS are kinda low..... any ideas how to increase performance?

abstract oak Aug 5, 2020, 11:26 AM

#

How do I fix my game tho?

wise barn Aug 5, 2020, 11:26 AM

this is a screenshot.... and its between 30-70 fps

abstract oak Aug 5, 2020, 11:29 AM

#

@desert isle I did

wise barn Aug 5, 2020, 11:29 AM

#

that's about normal. pretty much in the upper average. although Vega is one of the worst performing AMD cards for gaming. it wasn't build for that

arma doesnt support any low lvl api`s like dx12 or vulkan does it?

We are trying, you're just not listening

abstract oak Aug 5, 2020, 11:32 AM

In the files or what

#

I removed from launcher

desert isle Aug 5, 2020, 11:32 AM

#

One of the screen shots you shared is empty so doesn't help at all.

edgy sandal Aug 5, 2020, 11:33 AM

#

ok thx for all of your answers bit dissapointing but i think ill be OK with it, Gameplay is the thing which matters more 😉
But this is definitely the first Game I ever played in which CPU and GPU are bored and performance is not capped by max FPS settings or anithing similar 😄

@desert isle to prove that the dlc still don’t work

does this game work good with an RTX just asking

wise barn Aug 5, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

well, it has no raytracing

sinful furnace Aug 5, 2020, 11:35 AM

#

CPU/RAM more important than GPU here

dreamy raptor Aug 5, 2020, 11:35 AM

#

I dont need that gimmick

wise barn Aug 5, 2020, 11:35 AM

#

but the RTX works fine

desert isle Aug 5, 2020, 11:35 AM

#

@abstract oak this helps no one

#

It surely doesnt show us whats not working

wise barn Aug 5, 2020, 11:35 AM

but the RTX works fine
just like any other "modern" GPU

dreamy raptor Aug 5, 2020, 11:36 AM

i never thought a 2013 game would be so taxing on performance

wise barn Aug 5, 2020, 11:36 AM

even my old GTX 660ti did the job 😄
