yeah

steady hawk Aug 24, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

Is your mission.sqm binarized?

balmy parrot Aug 24, 2020, 2:42 AM

#

Yes

steady hawk Aug 24, 2020, 2:44 AM

#

Try to unbinarize it and retry

balmy parrot Aug 24, 2020, 2:44 AM

#

I have

steady hawk Aug 24, 2020, 2:44 AM

#

Meant mission.sqm not the pbo

balmy parrot Aug 24, 2020, 2:44 AM

#

huh

#

In like the attributes it says that setting

steady hawk Aug 24, 2020, 2:45 AM

#

mission.sqm itself could be binarized or unbinarized. Not really sure this matters but try it

balmy parrot Aug 24, 2020, 2:46 AM

#

I have tried that

#

Both variants

balmy parrot Aug 24, 2020, 3:02 AM

#

And I just tried the arma export function again and it didn't work again

hexed pond Aug 24, 2020, 3:07 AM

#

So this is an odd one.. Anyone have any ideas on a server side console spam of this same error? A null object passed as a target to RemoteExec(Call) 'bis_fnc_spawn'

#

Results in an infinite loading screen.

#

Could be useful to not use spaces in the mission name

balmy parrot Aug 24, 2020, 1:52 PM

#

Could it literally be that?

#

Because like I mentioned it worked, and when I edited through eden it stopped

uncut trellis Aug 24, 2020, 1:53 PM

#

dunno, but spaces in file and folder names are always problematic

balmy parrot Aug 24, 2020, 1:53 PM

#

I guess I'll try that

steady hawk Aug 24, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

If you prefer to make some space between words, use _

balmy parrot Aug 24, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

Just the file name, not the actual missions?

#

Yeah that didn't work either way it seems

#

Warning Message: Config : some input after EndOfFile.

#

Does that mean anything?

steady hawk Aug 24, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

There's an error because there's something. Did you tried to make an empty mission and if works?

balmy parrot Aug 24, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

Well I have a mission on Lythium which works fine

#

Which I just updated last night and just tested it, which it works

#

And I know it's not the slideshows

#

Yeah I have no clue what it is

#

Slideshows seem like it'd be causing a problem

#

It's not that

#

It's not the hide terrain object

#

The rest of the stuff is the hebontes stuff

#

And the spawn thing I made which is also on Lythium

balmy parrot Aug 24, 2020, 2:48 PM

#

And now it's back from corrupted file to Line 0

#

It also isnt showing the correct file name

#

It's showing __cur_mp.hebontes

#

I don't know if that is suppose to happen

balmy parrot Aug 24, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

What if I put it into a rar then pbo or something?

#

Actually I guess that wouldn't work

balmy parrot Aug 24, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

Do you think it might be a mod mismatch thing?

#

As in version?

#

Alright so I just pasted everything from the map into altis

#

Same error

#

I think I found it

#

I took out slideshows and the pictures atleast most of them

#

And now it works

Anyone know why my colors get super washed out when looking through the hud of an A-10A from RHS USAF?

Modlist:
Ace3
RHS Suite + Ace3 Compatibility
CUP, CUP Units, CUP Weapons
JSRS
Enhanced movement.

Only an issue with the A-10. Third person or looking to the side/top is noticeably better. Can barely see the terrain when looking forward.

Haven't tried using only RHS because I don't have a ton of time this morning. Asking here because I'm wondering if it's a setting in Ace or something like that. Anyone else have this issue?

blissful bramble Aug 25, 2020, 9:35 AM

#

It's a problem with Arma 3's HDR implementation. It doesn't like a lot of black from the cockpit on screen

#

But your reshade settings don't seem to help

sturdy fable Aug 25, 2020, 9:46 AM

#

I don't have any reshade though.

#

Default post processing settings.

blissful bramble Aug 25, 2020, 10:00 AM

#

That's what I meant. From the 3rd person view it looked like bumped up gamma/brightness/contrast etc.

#

At any rate, we've tried fixing it in the past by brightening the texture a little, but we can only do it so much without various artefacts appearing from brightening an already compressed .paa and the fact that the dark black stuff is hiding various shortcuts BI made with regard to modelling and texturing the cockpit for Arma 2. If you zoom out in the cockpit you'll notice the HDR adjusts to the smaller amount of screen-space being black, and it's suddenly easier to see outside

sturdy fable Aug 25, 2020, 10:26 AM

#

Ah, interesting. All of that makes sense, but that wasn't the case for me. Zooming in or out had no effect.

How do I solve that, though? I don't see the issue on anyone else's screenshots or videos.

Hello fine folks,

I've got a friend who's getting kicked with the error Steam authentication failed with the following lines in the .rpt:

He already reinstalled steam, arma 3, launched without mods. We just checked his router setting and firewall plus his windows firewall.
We have quite some guys with IT background in our clan but are running out of ideas.

Have any of you encountered a similar issue? What more files can I provide to help sort this out?

Hey guys i was wondering if anyone can help me figure out what is wrong with this file. https://pastebin.com/V9yqwQxr

Trying to get a mission to load and i can admin log fine, all slots are there, i slot in and click go but once it finishes loading the mission it throws me back to the Tanoa screen and i have no clue what the error is.

Hm

Also as a sidenote

fringe salmon Aug 26, 2020, 1:36 AM

#

a3_characters_f is base game no? seems like i need to verify and as for the 2nd one that is new to me

grim tinsel Aug 26, 2020, 1:37 AM

#

the second one seems like it might be an error in your server.cfg file

#

and yeah the a3 stuff is basegame arma

keen zephyr Aug 26, 2020, 1:37 AM

#

May it be, that you deleted the line from the mission.sqm?

fringe salmon Aug 26, 2020, 1:38 AM

#

The line?

keen zephyr Aug 26, 2020, 1:38 AM

#

a3_characters_f

fringe salmon Aug 26, 2020, 1:39 AM

#

Iirc it could be a file being corrupt, it is part of the base game

keen zephyr Aug 26, 2020, 1:39 AM

#

should be in the mission.sqm at about line 30

fringe salmon Aug 26, 2020, 1:39 AM

#

That file that is

keen zephyr Aug 26, 2020, 1:39 AM

#

Might be as well

fringe salmon Aug 26, 2020, 1:39 AM

#

I do believe PI is right on both things

keen zephyr Aug 26, 2020, 1:39 AM

#

So you are sure you didn't fiddle inside the mission.sqm right?

fringe salmon Aug 26, 2020, 1:40 AM

#

Nope, mission was built and then uploaded

keen zephyr Aug 26, 2020, 1:40 AM

#

Well, then PI should be correct

fringe salmon Aug 26, 2020, 1:40 AM

#

Whilst i was doing this i asked one of the support techs off the website and he is saying that a file is missing in cfg.

So I've been driving myself crazy over this. Dedicated server on Linux isn't reading the startup.txt in the root of the server. Same place the arma3server.exe. All of the keys are in the keys folder and are loaded as optional, but it just will not load the mods from the startup.txt as server mods. At a loss here

#

The mod folders are in the same directory, the txt file has the names written correctly. Proper format from what I can tell. No idea what's going on

warped cradle Aug 26, 2020, 4:45 AM

#

linux doesn't like how Steam holds keys and other. Everything needs to be lowercase.

#

My group and I got fed up dealing with it, and we switched to a VM on Windows.

flat spade Aug 26, 2020, 5:02 AM

#

Where does everything need to be lowercase?

#

The startup.txt file?

#

Or do I need to rename all of the @mod files as well?

warped cradle Aug 26, 2020, 5:05 AM

#

@mod

next gull Aug 26, 2020, 6:31 AM

#

@brave hawk Well even with everything gone and just cup loaded it doesnt work? You think a full reinstall of cup might work?

brave hawk Aug 26, 2020, 7:34 AM

#

a Steam repair, but don't go redownloading everything?

I will try in 10h, I am really curious about it. Sure there are no other mods running along CUP?

Remove all of them and try again. And remove Expanson Mods from your disc as it uses A LOT of ripped contents

desert narwhal Aug 28, 2020, 3:18 PM

#

Ok will do thanks

uncut trellis Aug 28, 2020, 3:21 PM

black sky would probably mean you have a mod that breaks the default configs

Is there something in the folders or files of mods that lets you find out if it requires ace or not if the launcher doesn't list the dependencies?

#

I have a list of the mods I have loaded if anybody might know which of them need ACE despite not listing it as a dependency.

#

I can DM it to whoever wants to look at it since I can't post it here.

uncut trellis Aug 28, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

it is quite impossible to say. If mods are made right they would contain that infromation on their mod page.

Launcher not being able to start the game
"The code execution cannot proceed because was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem." Fyi it does not, I have reinstalled 8 times with no response. I use to play arma 3 and I was getting back into yet when I installed it this happened, please help.

if done right, it should have fixed your issue. you can try to run the 32bit executable in your launcher option / preferences

other than that, no clue

Welp, it's been a day, looks like no solution, and seems to only happen to Arma at this point.. does anyone know if there were any small patches that happened to Arma recently?

uncut trellis Aug 29, 2020, 10:24 AM

#

Well after a day you can post your issue again and do remember to add the details what you have tried so far to fix it.

gray hamlet Aug 29, 2020, 10:49 AM

#

Well, I've tried this as of today

#

Verified Game Cache
Reinstalled/Uninstalled
Reinstalled Directx11
Installed latest Graphics Drivers
Rolledback Graphics Drivers
Set my GPU to limit at 70%
Changed amount of memory allocated to Arma
Change amount of CPU Cores allocated to Arma
Changed memory allocator
Cleaned my GPU/CPU

Things I've noticed:

Leaving the game idle (even loaded in), it won't crash

Going into the arsenal (ace or virtual), and spending any amount of time, won't crash

Whenever I find a solution, it seems to last temporarily for an hour or so, then I get a black screen and a reboot of the PC

uncut trellis Aug 29, 2020, 11:16 AM

Do you have USB headset?

fringe salmon Aug 29, 2020, 11:25 AM

@wise barn well around 295 mods

wait what's wrong with that?

wise barn Aug 29, 2020, 11:28 AM

all

steady hawk Aug 29, 2020, 11:28 AM

More MODs = More chance to get glitch'd

fringe salmon Aug 29, 2020, 11:28 AM

#

oooohh

wise barn Aug 29, 2020, 11:29 AM

#

one of those mods is overwriting configs that are needed / used for winter chernarus

#

nothing wrong with CUP

fringe salmon Aug 29, 2020, 11:29 AM

#

wait how can i look it up?

wise barn Aug 29, 2020, 11:31 AM

#

run CUP Core and maps + 50% of the other mods.
no error, run CUP core and maps + the other 50%
if an error occurs, divide those 50% into half again, repeat until you find the mod causing the error

fringe salmon Aug 29, 2020, 11:33 AM

#

wait does other map mods override the map mods?

wise barn Aug 29, 2020, 11:34 AM

#

perhaps

steady hawk Aug 29, 2020, 11:35 AM

#

If MODs are involved, anything would be happened. Including glitches, and breaking other MODs too

wise barn Aug 29, 2020, 11:36 AM

#

wise barn Aug 29, 2020, 11:38 AM

This is the issue and linked is a picture of the correct way it should look

desert isle Aug 29, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

The issue lies with the mod maker, not the game maker.

mild hazel Aug 29, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

So having an issue with a server and localhost, the server will crash immediately upon loading in, and in the crash dump, it says its something about "Unknown module". Seems to be a problem with the mission, but not sure

midnight ember Aug 29, 2020, 11:02 PM

#

Does it happen with other missions? And do you have all the right mods loaded?

mild hazel Aug 29, 2020, 11:04 PM

#

its happened with another mission with the same modset, all the mods are loaded. Also, the server will start up fine after it restarts after the crash, but if another person joins, the server will eventually drop FPS until it freezes, and will only unfreeze when one person leaves

uncut trellis Aug 29, 2020, 11:05 PM

#

sounds like something is broken in the mission or the mods

mild hazel Aug 29, 2020, 11:06 PM

#

mods are fine, as i've used the exact set in another mission without issues. No idea what it could be script wise as i've gone through and optimised and checked locality and I can't find any problems

uncut trellis Aug 29, 2020, 11:08 PM

#

well if it happens on 2 missions its either the modset

#

or something you do the same way in both of those missions

#

or of course cant rule out random fluke

mild hazel Aug 29, 2020, 11:09 PM

#

the thing is, i've made 3 missions with this exact modset, 2 have this problem but 1 doesnt

uncut trellis Aug 29, 2020, 11:09 PM

#

then Id start by figuring out what is same in the 2 buggy ones but different in the 1

midnight ember Aug 29, 2020, 11:11 PM

#

Have you placed any different modules than the one that works?

#

Perhaps AI movement or similar?

mild hazel Aug 29, 2020, 11:16 PM

#

nope, the first one and this one are basically similar, only difference is a few scripts. No AI Movement, only modules are Game Master, Add Editable Objects and Zombie Modules, but they are in all 3 missions

midnight ember Aug 29, 2020, 11:18 PM

#

Have you tried removing the scripts, just to rule it out. What else is in the error logs?

mild hazel Aug 29, 2020, 11:20 PM

One thing I noticed that I encountered recently is "Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 823B5869" We had this issue on a mission file which would crash our games upon spawning

#

No idea why though

mild hazel Aug 29, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

that was happening on this mission when local hosting, would just crash my game everytime, but not the person who I was playing it with

#

"Warning Message: You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted.

This, unless this is normal, I remember seeing a message similar saying this is a known issue. But check your keys folder

Ah, never had that myself

mild hazel Aug 29, 2020, 11:31 PM

that happens immediately upon starting the server, so its fine. Server gets past that part. I still have no idea what causes this issue. I'm going to head to bed and try debugging tomorrow

unload all mods in the launcher, go to the server browser tab, select the server you want to join.
if you are missing mods, the launcher will prompt you to download them. once done, the launcher will load all mods required for the server

wide ice Aug 30, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

its not letting me play

#

i click on play with mods then that thing pops up and i click ok

#

i been trying for 3 hours

grim tinsel Aug 30, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

can you start the game without any mods loaded?

wide ice Aug 30, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

yes

grim tinsel Aug 30, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

okay have you tried repairing your tfar stable?

#

open the mods tab, right click tfar and click repair

wide ice Aug 30, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

is it called assault pack (tfar)

grim tinsel Aug 30, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

the normal tfar stable version is called task_force_radio

uncut trellis Aug 30, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

does it run if you disable all mods?

#

you seem to have quite a lot

wide ice Aug 30, 2020, 10:26 PM

#

so its bad to have alot of mods?

wise barn Aug 30, 2020, 10:28 PM

#

it is not bad to have a lot of mods, it is bad to have the one mod that 🦆s up the rest

#

but by increasing the numbers of mods, you also increase the risk of having mods that don't play with each other

wide ice Aug 30, 2020, 10:29 PM

#

so right now i have some russian armed forces mod available only so in game i can change to that outfit?

wise barn Aug 30, 2020, 10:30 PM

#

by in-game you mean SP or MP?

wide ice Aug 30, 2020, 10:30 PM

#

mp

wise barn Aug 30, 2020, 10:30 PM

#

well, if the server has the same mods, maybe

#

if the mission designer allows the users to play battle barbie

wide ice Aug 30, 2020, 10:31 PM

#

tbh idk which mods i need

#

i have 99 available mods

wise barn Aug 30, 2020, 10:32 PM

#

the server browser will prompt you which mods you need when joining a server. it also prompts you to DL missing mods and unload not supported/allowed mods

wide ice Aug 30, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

you play in official servers?

wise barn Aug 30, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

i did, like 2-3 times

#

official servers do not allow mods

wide ice Aug 30, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

tbh idk which server to join i was just playing in official server

wise barn Aug 30, 2020, 10:35 PM

#

that's fine.
you can filter the server list by using mod names. for example put CUP or RHS (or any other mod) in the search bar, and servers using those mods will show up

wide ice Aug 30, 2020, 10:38 PM

#

which server you play on most

#

mostly*

wise barn Aug 30, 2020, 10:38 PM

#

IF i play, it's a german milsim server

#

and i haven't been playing in a while

wide ice Aug 30, 2020, 10:38 PM

#

i just started today

#

im a noob

wise barn Aug 30, 2020, 10:40 PM

#

no shame in that
did you read #info_help_tips ?

wide ice Aug 30, 2020, 10:40 PM

#

i did the problem is that idk what server to go on

wise barn Aug 30, 2020, 10:42 PM

#

nobody can answer that.
hop on some, get in contact with the folks, ask them to lend you a helping hand, be honest straight from the beginning, and stay where you liked it the most

wide ice Aug 30, 2020, 10:47 PM

#

annoying part is when im missing a mod i go back,then i cant find the server again

wise barn Aug 30, 2020, 10:48 PM

you can mark them as favorite

wide ice Aug 30, 2020, 10:53 PM

#

idk how

wise barn Aug 30, 2020, 10:54 PM

#

click the star on the very left side of the server name (IIRC)

wide ice Aug 30, 2020, 10:54 PM

#

alright thanks bro

#

why is my name always owner in game

uncut trellis Aug 30, 2020, 11:00 PM

#

@wide ice use the launcher server browser and not the ingame one

#

launcher server browser sets you up with missing mods

wide ice Aug 30, 2020, 11:01 PM

#

uh idk how to do that

uncut trellis Aug 30, 2020, 11:01 PM

#

you run Arma3 on steam -> it opens up the arma 3 launcher

#

there you click on the servers text and it opens the server browser

Hi guys, I encountered a very strange bug today...

I was playing TRGM (something like DRO) with 2 friends on our dedicated server. Out of nowhere I wasn't able to see my one friend anymore:

His character was invisible to me
I couldn't hear him in TFAR, but over radio
I could see grenades he threw
STUI showed him on a different position (where he was before), if I walked there I could hear him over TFAR
for my other friend, everything worked fine
he himself didn't notice anything

The bug was reset after a respawn (unfortunately I can't tell if a respawn of me or him fixed it). This was not the first time the bug appeared. We loaded the following mods:

CBA, ACE, ACEX, STUI, TFAR_beta, EM, GRADtrenches
ZEN, ZEN-ace-compat
RHS + RHS-ace-compat

Further information:
-I was logged in as admin at the time but haven't created zeus over ace.
-Not today, but as the bug appeared before, I could see his character stuck in an animation (looked kind of crippled) at his old "tfar/stui position". The weapon fire animation was played by the stuck character as he fired.

Any help on how to fix this or workarounds are highly appreciated:)

so it must be fixable :D

wise barn Aug 31, 2020, 9:56 PM

some code hickup in the mission / mods might have caused it

shot in the dark:
close arma, close steam

restart steam, launch arma without mods
go to the editor, select any terrain, place a single unit, press preview/play

I wonder why im missing so many files after a fresh install

cold cobalt Sep 1, 2020, 2:31 AM

#

So, I am making a map for my group, and I am using a map with a base. Problem is, I like the base for the most part, but there are some areas I wanted different. So I used the "Hide Terrain Objects" tool to remove some buildings and objects and stuff, and I put the stuff I wanted there. However, whenever I load in to test it, all of the hidden objects and buildings load in for a second or two and then dissappear. This causes them to interfere with all the vehicles I have placed down in their place, which makes them all blow up. It basically makes it a living hell of burning vehicles. Is there any way to circumnavigate this problem? Thanks.

(Not sure what channel this belongs in.)

uncut trellis Sep 1, 2020, 9:07 AM

#

@cold cobalt To clarify the terms, you are making a mission not a map. Map/Terrain is the thing you load up in the 3DEN editor and create a mission/scenario on. The difference is quite big and its important to talk in correct terms as the making of stuff methods are very different between mission and a map.

you will need to find a way to either spawn your custom stuff after the hide module has done its work or protect them until the hiding is done. Like by disabling the simulation.

#arma3_scenario or #arma3_editor are the places for this kind of questions in the future.

@pine kite found the fix for the battle eye
When launching the game I get a “Failed to install BattlEye Service.” / “BattlEye Service installation failed.” / “Failed to start BattlEye Service.” / “BattlEye Service startup failed.” / “Failed to initialize BattlEye Service: …” error. How can I solve this?

Something on your system prevents the installation/startup of the BE Service, which is required to play on BE-enabled servers. Please ensure that any security software (anti-virus, etc.) running on your system doesn’t block the BE Service (both BEService.exe/BEService_x64.exe in your game’s “BattlEye” directory as well as the entire BE Service directory, which is usually “C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\BattlEye”) in any way. You might have to add it to your security software’s exception list. If that doesn’t help or you don’t use any sort of security software there might be a permission issue with your BE Service directory or the files within it. To solve this delete the BE Service directory (usually “C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\BattlEye”) and then try to launch your game again. If you still get the same error at this point please try to manually set the BE Launcher in your game directory (usually the executable file with “_BE” at the end) to run with administrative privileges (normally this should happen automatically). To do so right-click on the BE Launcher executable, choose “Properties”, go to the “Compatibility” tab, check the “Run this program as an administrator” option and click OK to apply your changes.

If you still can’t get it to work some unknown software running on your system might be blocking BE somehow. If you cannot determine the cause we can only suggest a reinstallation of Windows.

@cinder snow Pretty sure I already tried those suggestions already numerous times. (I'm a Windows support engineer by occupation) I was hoping there was another location of some Battleye service executable hidden somewhere I didn't know about. But I'll give it another shot, sometimes you have such bad days and a while later everything works as it should as if nothing was different.

Hi, just started Old Man; I have an issue where I can't hear the NPC (Arthur) in the vehicle, if I exit I can hear them however. Any ideas? Re-starting didn't resolve it.

burnt light Sep 2, 2020, 7:51 PM

#

Can you hear them in first person? I had a similar issue and noticed I only had the problem if I was in third person. I never figured out how to fix the problem but that's how I worked around it.

You're welcome! Only a workaround, but at least you can hear!

uncut trellis Sep 2, 2020, 8:04 PM

Arma has positional audio

#

and when youre in 3rdperson the camera and hearing is outside the vehicle

#

Arma is mainly meant as first person game I think

burnt light Sep 2, 2020, 8:07 PM

#

I would still think it's unintentional for a character's dialogue not to be heard like that, but the explanation makes sense.

uncut trellis Sep 2, 2020, 8:07 PM

its not intentional but just how the audio mechanic works

#

its a side effect

#

This is the entire error

#

its pretty long

#

this is on a server btw

wise barn Sep 5, 2020, 1:05 PM

#

and what's the actual issue?

#

other than that you are missing a mod

#

some of the CSA38 collection

#

and in future, please use pastebin.com for logs

golden kelp Sep 5, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

Well it doesn't appear to be an actual mod I am missing

#

CSA38II_weapons_c appears to be a file which is present, the server just doesnt want to read it

#

Also I cant connect to the server due to this

#

and in future, please use pastebin.com for logs
@wise barn will do

#

Unless I am mistaken and it is in fact a mod

weary sky Sep 5, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

Well it doesn't appear to be an actual mod I am missing
It could also be a corrupt PBO

wise barn Sep 5, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

CSA38II_weapons_c appears to be a file which is present
delete that5 pbo and then repair the mod via the launcher

golden kelp Sep 5, 2020, 1:34 PM

#

The arma launcher or the server launcher (I am very inexperienced in this sort of stuff I am sorry ): ), and where do I delete it?

#

In the file manager I assume

wise barn Sep 5, 2020, 1:34 PM

#

oh right, server...

golden kelp Sep 5, 2020, 1:34 PM

#

Yeah

wise barn Sep 5, 2020, 1:34 PM

#

just delete the mod and redownload it

#

unless you have steam running in the server?

golden kelp Sep 5, 2020, 1:35 PM

#

I did that multiple times and I am pretty positive I do in fact have steam running

#

since I was able to download all the mods via a Workshop Mod Downloader

#

I use GTX Gaming to host my server btw

weary sky Sep 5, 2020, 1:36 PM

#

ahh... TCAdmin, that doesn't work sometimes, especially with larger files.
Just keep trying to fix it

#

In worst case; use FTP to upload the file manually to the server

golden kelp Sep 5, 2020, 1:36 PM

#

Would FileZilla also work for that

weary sky Sep 5, 2020, 1:36 PM

#

yup

golden kelp Sep 5, 2020, 1:37 PM

#

So I will attempt to remove the CSA38-FOW-IFA3 weapons compatibility mod and then reinstall it manually using FileZilla

#

Those are the steps right?

weary sky Sep 5, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

you can first try to only upload the PBO which seems to cause issues (probably weapons_c.pbo or CSA38II_weapons_c.pbo)

golden kelp Sep 5, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

I tried just replacing the entire thing

#

and it didnt work

#

So F

#

Wait I might be trying to replace the wrong thing

#

I am replacing the CSA38-FOW-IFA3 weapons compatibility mod

#

but is the weapons_c.pbo even found there

#

🤔

weary sky Sep 5, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

no, it should be in CSA38

golden kelp Sep 5, 2020, 1:51 PM

#

yeah so I attempted to override CSA38II_weapons_c.pbo

#

and it doesnt work

#

One thing to note: I added the CSA38 Czechoslovak army mod MANUALLY in the first place

#

As the Steam Workshop Downloader didnt want to do it

#

Maybe thats the problem, but a friend of mine has the same issue on his server

Yes, Audiocostums has already informed me

#

I was not aware that existed

wild wigeon Sep 5, 2020, 2:13 PM

Hey can i ask questions how to fix my arma here?

wise barn Sep 5, 2020, 2:14 PM

#

rules of the internet / IRC: never ask to ask, just ask

wild wigeon Sep 5, 2020, 2:15 PM

#

Okay so all bushes and grass in my armas are somehow blue, how can i fix this?

wise barn Sep 5, 2020, 2:15 PM

#

are you running mods?

wild wigeon Sep 5, 2020, 2:15 PM

#

I already updated my graphic cards driver

#

No i am not

wise barn Sep 5, 2020, 2:16 PM

#

mind to share a screenshot?
use imgur or any other image hoster and share the link here

faint steeple Sep 5, 2020, 2:16 PM

#

I've just reinstalled arma to try to fix some horrendous crashing issues, but now I get incredibly low FPS, even on the lowest settings. I could run very high/ultra at ~60fps before I reinstalled. Same settings. Same specs. Everything is as it was before. It's basically unplayable, does anyone know what I could do?

wild wigeon Sep 5, 2020, 2:16 PM

#

mind to share a screenshot?
use imgur or any other image hoster and share the link here
@wise barn Can i also just put the screenshot from steam in here?

wise barn Sep 5, 2020, 2:17 PM

#

no, uploads are disabled

wild wigeon Sep 5, 2020, 2:17 PM

#

Okay ill have to download imgur real quick

uncut trellis Sep 5, 2020, 2:18 PM

#

if its on steam you can upload it on steam and link it

#

and imgur too works in browser

wise barn Sep 5, 2020, 2:19 PM

i misread that.

In game, its like comepletly blue

uncut trellis Sep 5, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

does it work without mods?

wild wigeon Sep 5, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

What du you mean? I dont use mods

uncut trellis Sep 5, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

or custom mission

#

have you used autodetect on the video settings? /what are your video settings

wild wigeon Sep 5, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

Yes

uncut trellis Sep 5, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

so normal game works?

wild wigeon Sep 5, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

no

#

Yes was for the autodetect

uncut trellis Sep 5, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

do you have some visual enhancement settings on your GPU software?

wild wigeon Sep 5, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

I think so yes

uncut trellis Sep 5, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

I would recommend trying to turn all of those off

wild wigeon Sep 5, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

Ill try that

#

didnt work :(

uncut trellis Sep 5, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

what are your video settings

#

what are your video settings

#

What are your vidoe settings? Your antialiasing and or transparency does not seem to be working right

wild wigeon Sep 5, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

Video settings in arma or from the gpu?

uncut trellis Sep 5, 2020, 2:38 PM

in arma

wild wigeon Sep 5, 2020, 2:42 PM

what GPU do you have?

wild wigeon Sep 5, 2020, 2:48 PM

AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT

wise barn Sep 5, 2020, 2:48 PM

#

freesync active?

#

and capped to 60FPS?

#

if so, undo

wild wigeon Sep 5, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

Almost 60 fps and idk what freesync is tbh

wise barn Sep 5, 2020, 2:50 PM

#

it syncs the frame rate to your monitor

#

often caps out at 60FPS

wild wigeon Sep 5, 2020, 2:50 PM

#

In arma or gpu settings?

wise barn Sep 5, 2020, 2:52 PM

#

Radeon options
Einstellungen - Anzeige - Radeon Freesync slider

#

make sure that all sliders there are off

#

like super resolution
skalierung

#

ect

wild wigeon Sep 5, 2020, 2:53 PM

Okay i did

wise barn Sep 5, 2020, 2:53 PM

#

what's your Farbtiefe and Pixelformat in those options?

wild wigeon Sep 5, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

Farbtiefe is bpc and Pixel is 4:4:4

wise barn Sep 5, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

8 bpc?

wild wigeon Sep 5, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

Oh yes

#

lol

wise barn Sep 5, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

ok

#

did you do any custom settings or activations under "Grafik"

#

like anti lag or sharpening?

wild wigeon Sep 5, 2020, 2:58 PM

#

Antilag and sharpenings' on

wise barn Sep 5, 2020, 2:58 PM

#

turn them off and retry

wild wigeon Sep 5, 2020, 2:58 PM

#

ok

#

Didnt change anything

uncut trellis Sep 5, 2020, 3:01 PM

did you restart the game?

Yes

hmpf...

#

out of ideas

wild wigeon Sep 5, 2020, 3:04 PM

oh

#

thanks for helping tho

uncut trellis Sep 5, 2020, 3:06 PM

#

have you verified the game files?

#

on steam

wild wigeon Sep 5, 2020, 3:06 PM

#

How do i do that?

#

It looked for errors but didnt do anything

blissful bramble Sep 5, 2020, 3:09 PM

#

Does it look different if you change the ATOC (AZA) setting?

#

Oh and check if you have antialiasing transparency set on your graphics card settings. Needs to be turned off

wild wigeon Sep 5, 2020, 3:10 PM

#

Verify isnt there for me

#

Does it look different if you change the ATOC (AZA) setting?
@blissful bramble I can try that

blissful bramble Sep 5, 2020, 3:13 PM

#

IIRC there's some incompatibility between ATOC and NVidia's transparency AA supersampling

wild wigeon Sep 5, 2020, 3:14 PM

#

Verifying doesnt help

#

Is this ATOC stuff in arma or the gpu settings

#

Omg when i deactivate AZA it looks normal

#

Thank you so much

wild wigeon Sep 5, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

I dont hve sound tho XD

wise barn Sep 5, 2020, 3:55 PM

make sure your audio device is set as default in windows
additionally:
USB audio devices and bluetooth devices seem to be difficult to work with

wild wigeon Sep 5, 2020, 3:56 PM

#

Difficult?

wise barn Sep 5, 2020, 3:57 PM

#

arma does not work well in fullscreen mode when alt+tab,
windowed fullscreen

#

Difficult?
short version: windows 🦆ed up hard with the 2017 creators update...

#

many applications prior to autumn 2017 have troubles since then

wild wigeon Sep 5, 2020, 3:59 PM

#

So when i do arma in windowed it works?

wise barn Sep 5, 2020, 4:00 PM

#

if you are in fullscreen with working sound and alt+tab, chances are high that sound won't work anymore

#

if you are in windowed full screen with working sound and alt+tab, chances are better that your sound keeps working

#

so first, make sure your audio device (whatever that is, speakers, headphones) is set as default audio output in windows settings. do that before starting arma

#

once arma is running, go to the graphics settings and change to fullscreen windowed

wild wigeon Sep 5, 2020, 4:13 PM

#

okay thanks
