thick stirrup
#

can I get any help on this?

tropic yarrow
#

Are you running mods?

thick stirrup
#

yes

wise barn
#

remove mods

#

try again

thick stirrup
#

no can do I'm afraid

tropic yarrow
#

?

#

Its probably a dependency error or some type of functionality bug.

thick stirrup
#

nope, the rest of my unit have the same set and they are fine.

wise barn
#

doesn't matter

#

unload all mods, try again

#

then report

tropic yarrow
#

^

thick stirrup
#

still non

wise barn
#

verify game data via steam

thick stirrup
#

arma always breaks 10 minutes before an op for me idk why

tropic yarrow
#

Try being there early? Idk.

#

Honestly rarely have problems running vanilla.

thick stirrup
#

it was working an hour ago so idk

tropic yarrow
#

Verify your install

thick stirrup
#

ok now it works without mods but not with

wise barn
#

one or more of your mods is/are corrupted

#

to find out which mod:
split all in half
run the first 50%
if it loads fine, no bad boy in there
then load the other half, see if it fails
if the second half fails, repeat... split them up in 2 parts and do as before until you have the culprit

thick stirrup
#

ok, will try that. thx

#

Found it. 3CB Factions is causing trouble. Thanks for the help @wise barn

#

whenever i hold alt and try to move my screen it just locks my screen

#

it only works when im pilot/driver, gunner, copilot, or commander

fringe salmon
#

So I'm unable to play because Ace_Medical_Gui is outdated...despite me manually updating it with Ace directly from the website.

#

is this on SP or MP? @fringe salmon

#

Sp and Editor

#

is Ace_medical_gui a pbo?

#

if it is try deleting it then repair the mod

weary sky
#

It used to be a pbo, but got removed with medical update

fringe salmon
#

removed it and repaired it and got the error again File ace_medical_gui.pbo is outdated

grim tinsel
#

can you post a picture of the error? @fringe salmon

fringe salmon
#

i dont have permission to attach files

grim tinsel
#

you can upload the image to a website like imgur and then post the link here blep

fringe salmon
uncut trellis
#

perhaps the mission needs to be updated to latest ace

#

edit the mission files and remove ace as required addon

weary sky
#

Do you have some weird mod pack enabled which has an older version of ACE embedded?

fringe salmon
#

It seems that I do because with just Ace and CBA it works fine, thanks for the help. Now it's solely in my hands.

uncut trellis
#

modpacks are devils work

#

mod collections are πŸ‘Œ

#

someone uses TFAR here? i have Pipe was closed by TS error and i cant seem to fix it.. the plugin says its enabled and i also set it to the correct channel and password. it also does work for other people

#

also i launched both apps with admin

weary sky
#

Update to TFAR 1.0 (beta), that will fix the issue

#

Hi, guys. I have a problem with ArmA 3. When I enter any vehicle i don't see any objects around the vehicle. I can only see the road and that's It.

#

Anyone knows how to fix this?

weary sky
#

1P or 3P?

#

And do you have any mods running?

pale loom
#

I have mods but i'm playing with my friend and we are all using the same mods.

#

They don't have any issues

#

1p

weary sky
#

Could be a broken mod, a mod which breaks view distance, or graphics setting which messes up some textures

pale loom
#

I'll send you the pm

#

add me

weary sky
#

We can troubleshoot here, makes it also easier for others to take a look

rotund horizon
#

@weary sky what you mean the beta?

#

other people dont have problem with @task_force_radio mod

weary sky
rotund horizon
#

well i fixed it now lol it says a button to enable/disable.. it said disable so i thought it was the button to disable but in reality it showed the current status of the plugin so it works now

weary sky
#

The error will return, because it's a bug in the old version πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Hey Guys Ive got a problem with my game, I strated playing Arma since 2015, but recently a coupled months ago, there is missing activity in the game after the new update I cant play it anymore, anyone could suggest me how to fix the problem? though I reinstall/uninstalled it repeteadly but i cant manage to fix it. any suggestion will much appreciated.

quaint jewel
#

@fringe salmon find that pbo with that name in your Arma folder and delete it

sullen wolf
#

Arma 3 tools - Addon builder refuses to open, i Restarted my computer and everything, I click on it, get the startup sequence but the Builder wont open

#

even The EXE is refusing to work

quaint jewel
#

you have steam running?

sullen wolf
#

yes

brave hawk
#

Tried checking file cache? @sullen wolf

sullen wolf
#

No, will do next

sullen wolf
#

@brave hawk i cleared Cache, still not opening

#

I'll try reinstalling perhaps

brave hawk
#

then I don't know. Try uninstall/reinstall, it might be a registry issue

sullen wolf
#

yes, will do

#

nope, reinstalling didn't fix it

#

I'm deleting the folder and retry it again

#

nope still not working

uncut trellis
#

have you tried from the installation folder of the tools?

#

instead of the launcher

sullen wolf
#

yes

uncut trellis
#

does any other tool open?

sullen wolf
#

every other one works

uncut trellis
#

have you considered using Mikeros PboProject?

uncut trellis
#

it is what most veteran modders suggest using anyway

sullen wolf
#

mhh

#

the link is a video of the thing

uncut trellis
#

yes normal users dont have embed priviledges

sullen wolf
#

I figured

uncut trellis
#

anyway. What is it you are packing?

sullen wolf
#

A small retexture for an auxillary mod

#

Specifically A single Uniform and helmet

#

I got the Config and everything all working, just ArmA 3 tools refuses to work properly

uncut trellis
sullen wolf
#

tryed

#

dosent work

uncut trellis
#

how about as admin?

sullen wolf
#

I'mma try

uncut trellis
#

it could also be your firewall is blocking it

#

mine at least gave a notification of a connection I needed to allow

sullen wolf
#

I've PBOd before, i don't see why it'd do that

#

nope

#

dosen't work

uncut trellis
#

have you uninstalled Arma Tools, restarted machine properly and not with the win10 quick restart and then reinstalled it

sullen wolf
#

yep

uncut trellis
#

then I got no other ideas.

#

for proper error free addon making Id suggest Mikeros tools

sullen wolf
#

Mhh

#

i found something

#

apperantly its running

#

and Task manager detects it

#

but its not opening

#

and not appearing

wise barn
#

Arma tools are not recommended anyway. Use mikero's tools. It also comes with superior error checking

#

I would not waste energy on finding the issue with the arma tools

sullen wolf
#

I'll try that

wise barn
#

The pmc Wiki and armadocs have detailed instructions on how to set them up

uncut trellis
#

its possible its starting off screen somewhere

#

while Id not use it either Im curious about the bug πŸ˜…

restive flax
#

Hello there again^^ I have a problem with my game since I played on the Project Life Server the units are in the Imperial system and not in Metric but "UseImerialSystem" is set to 0 in the Profile options so I dont really know what I can do about it thx in advance.

sullen wolf
#

Well Pbo Project refuses to work aswell

#

EXACTLY the same issue as A3 tools

steady hawk
#

You ever mounted your P drive?

sullen wolf
#

wait you talking to me or Razor?

steady hawk
#

You, 551

sullen wolf
#

I have

steady hawk
#

Then check the log

#

...Meant the log shows the same error?

sullen wolf
#

No it refuses to open in the same manner as a3 Tools

#

It shows the window for .5 sec closes it and gives no error

uncut trellis
#

did you get pboProject from the byteX website?

sullen wolf
uncut trellis
#

and did you install all the other programs too?

sullen wolf
#

yes

uncut trellis
#

do any of the other mikero tools run?

sullen wolf
#

no

uncut trellis
#

perhaps you did not install all of them?

#

or optionally your computer is totally bonkers

sullen wolf
#

Wait a sec, i think i missed one programm

#

ahhh

#

ok fixed it

#

i missed DeOgg

restive flax
#

can we adress my problem now ?

quaint jewel
#

"UseImerialSystem" is set to 0 in the Profile options
sure you're looking at the right profile?

restive flax
#

yes

#

and its also and all profiles so the it dosnt really matter wich one I change

quaint jewel
#

does it also show metric in the ingame settings?

restive flax
#

give me 1 secound

#

because I couldnt find that

quaint jewel
#

probably options -> game options

restive flax
#

i mean its not in the Game options

quaint jewel
#

oof that's weird, yeah can't find it either

restive flax
#

yikes

#

I looked everywhere the only thing I found was UseImerialSystem in the Profile file but thats on 0 so its correct idk what Project life did back in the day I only know that it changed to imperial automaticly and I couldnt revert it.

restive flax
#

ok I think I fixed it changed the profile to 1 started the game and then back to 0 now its back on metric

What is this

olive hinge
#

Need some help here guys. Not able to join a server. I load all the required mods but still it arma 3 launcher says,"Server cant transmit all data, some allowed mods might be missing or their signatures not recognized" and the loaded mod list is all in red. If i ignore this and continue, i get kicked off due signature mismatch for a particular mod i.e. RHSUSAF.

fringe salmon
#

@olive hinge. The server has too many mods and isnt using the perf branch which has the fix for that. But should still be able to join anyways
As for rhsusaf you or the server likely has different versions. If the server is outdated nothing you can do about that (unless your the owner ofc)

olive hinge
#

Thanks man. Will ask the server admin to update their mod,... mine is the latest one.

faint steeple
#

I've been getting constant crashes whenever I play, so many that I can't play. It crashes almost as soon I spawn in. Exit code "0xC0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION". I recently moved the game to an external SSD, though I think I didn't get these crashes until after I played a few times on that. Game files are verified and I've reinstalled it, but they haven't worked

Any ideas?

uncut trellis
#

unplug usb headset and try if game runs more stable

faint steeple
#

I don't have a headset plugged in thonk

#

Wait, what?

uncut trellis
#

@low prairie no spamming nonsense or ban

#

@faint steeple it was a shot in the dark. USB audio devices are known to cause that kind of symptoms

faint steeple
#

I'm loading the game without mods rn, I'll report back

uncut trellis
#

mods can cause trouble too

faint steeple
#

I'm not sure what mod it would be though, as I haven't installed any since the problems started

uncut trellis
#

best to just test witouth anything extra first

faint steeple
#

Okay, it works fine without mods. Idk why I didn't try this before meowhuh

#

Is there a way to find out which mod causing the issues without going through one by one?

wise barn
#

Split all your mods in half. Load 50% and see if it runs.
Then load the other 50% that might fail.
Once done take the faulty half and divide it in half again, repeat

faint steeple
#

Nice, I'll do that

#

Now it's saying it can't find a file?

#

I'm moving some mods around, seeing if it'll help

#

It mentioned a specific mod I think, so I've unloaded that

uncut trellis
#

moving mods is not really a good idea

#

they should stay in their own folders

faint steeple
#

Oh yeah, I meant unloading/loading

#

Sorry about that, should've been clearer

#

I think it's the 3CB BAF stuff

#

Damn, that's the faction modni use most often

#

Why would it make the game crash though?

#

Oh wait, my game just crashed again

desert isle
#

incompatibility with other mods

solid field
#

Yo how do I turn my mic on in multiplayer

wise barn
#

arma uses whatever output and input is set as default in your windows settings

#

what kind of headset do you have?

solid field
#

None, I need one?

wise barn
#

no necessarily. you need an output device, and an input device.
what are those?

#

speakers?

#

desk microphone?

solid field
#

Using my computer

#

Laptop

wise barn
#

does your laptop even have a microphone?

#

@solid field

solid field
#

Yes

wise barn
#

is it set as your default input device in the windows audio settings?

solid field
#

Ye

wise barn
#

good.
in this case CAPSLOCK is your PTT (push to talk) button in game
you can switch "channels" with , and . (depending on your keyboard mapping)

solid field
#

Ok

#

Thanks

wild saddle
#

uhh

#

so when i play with mods sometimes i dont see the eden editor thing and other things in the middle of your screen when you start arma 3

#

you know quick play and the dlc stuff

steady hawk
#

Singleplayer > Editor

wild saddle
#

tho any reason for that to happen?

steady hawk
#

Someone wants to remove it so they removed it in their MOD

uncut trellis
steady hawk
#

If you want to figure out what causes it:

configSourceMODList (configFile >> "RscDisplayMain")```This should return involved MOD there. One of them may did that
fringe salmon
#

so me and my friend want to play with eachother in a co-op mission but it just dont work like we can even find each other on the server browser

steady hawk
#

I don't mean describe your issue in the other words. What did you and he do? Name every each steps both took

fringe salmon
#

oh we did alot of stuff we have been trying since yesterday

steady hawk
#

That doesn't even matter. Name them

fringe salmon
#

we clicked on host server made a naame for it and a password clicked the udp thing then started the game we have tryed searching on the internet for it and direct connect but still cant join

hexed scarab
#

I hope this is the right Channel for this:
I'm using Opentrack for Headtracking in Arma and everything worked fine for years. More specificaly I'm using TrackHat.
Since yesterday I have this problem:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pV0ZyGcb7XM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEg4NisyY2Q

The problem could be older last time I flew with Headtrack in Arma was about 1-2 months ago and everything worked fine.
I did not change anything with the controls or keybinding in this time.

My preview screen from opentrack is smooth without stuttering and it works flawless in other games (tried DCS and IL-2) so this problems only occurs in arma as soon as I use my Headtracker to look around (first video).

It seems or certainly feels like that arma tries to recenter my view constantly. Every other frame my view is centered again and after this I look where my headtracking points too.

Previous fix attemps that didn't work:
-created a new Arma Profile to check for double keybindings
-disabled and disconnected all other input devices except TrackIR
-reinstalled opentrack and arma 3
-tripplechecked all keybindings for center view or center head and for double placements nothing found or key not binded
-smahed my head on the keyboard
-prayed to some software gods

faint steeple
#

Does anyone have any idea why the CUP mods crash my game, even when they're the only mods loaded?

desert isle
#

Whats the crash error?

weak urchin
#

Having trouble moving mods to a different drive. Basically Arma is installed on my E:\ , but i wanna install the mods to my D:\ to save space, the default mod folder inside the Arma launcher is set to my D:\ , however mods still get installed into the steam workshop location onto my E:\ . How do i move them over?

Hello all, I am having problems with memory, could anyone give me a hand?

steady hawk
#

In what sense?

thorny solar
steady hawk
#

Specs?

thorny solar
#

getting em now

steady hawk
#
  • Video settings in-game?
  • Any optional launch parameters?
#

Also, USB Headset?

thorny solar
#

launch para are all defaults

#

ill grab ingame now

steady hawk
#

Maybe just the video settings are too high? πŸ€”

thorny solar
#

i can't play on low xd

#

i don't know whats happening xd

steady hawk
#

Assume Object view distance 12000 is overpowered

thorny solar
#

ah

#

yes thats fine,

#

modded exile server has built in

#

i keep it at around 2500

steady hawk
#

Just in case are you running on 32bit or 64bit?

thorny solar
#

how do i find that out?

steady hawk
#

Parameters

thorny solar
#

64

#

I can screenshot all the paras if you would like

steady hawk
#

Nah no need to do

#

Did you ever experienced that in what situations? Servers, MODs, others...

thorny solar
#

hm? It's just on arma 3, with or without mods, on online servers normally, never crashed in singleplayer

#

it crashes when loading in AI or a large city

steady hawk
#

Better to make your settings lower and test, IMO

sullen wolf
#

so i mounted my P drive

#

and it dissapeare

#

i remounted it

#

and its not working

weary sky
#

how did you mount it? with arma3p or Arma Tools?

sullen wolf
#

ar,a3p

#

Arma tools are broken

weary sky
#

I use Arma Tools without problems though πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

sullen wolf
weary sky
#

that has nothing to do with your P drive...

sullen wolf
#

yes but i need the P drive for mikeros

#

i use mikeros since A3 T is broken

weary sky
#

but you now have 2 different issues which are not related to each other (they are in a way, but not the way you think)

sullen wolf
#

?

weary sky
#
  1. verify game files for Arma 3 Tools (looks like something is wrong there)
  2. restart PC and try to mount P drive with arma3p again
sullen wolf
#

so i checked integrity and it found 2 errors

#

i fixed it

#

but AB still not working

cobalt surge
#

Does anyone in here know how to fix this issue with Mikeros Eliteness?
Was working fine before I went premium πŸ™‚
'Failed to create empty document'

uncut trellis
#

What are you doing with it exactly? @cobalt surge

#

It's primary function is to look into files, not create them

cobalt surge
#

Yeah, I've been using it for a long time to look into p3d for selections n all that

#

But when I try to open it, it gives me that error

#

It seems to be an issue with the most recent build of the premium version

uncut trellis
#

Report errors to Mikero. If you don't want to dm him you can ping him with the details on #arma3_tools

molten wraith

Can I ask for advice? Using Ace3 I'm making a scenario for my friends. I'm having waves of enemies spawning in using the Show/hide modules and a trigger stating "When 'Squad A' alive= 0" then it triggers the show\hide module to SHOW 'squad B'. This was working but now after the first squad dies the new squad spawns dead/bleeding out, not even the entire squad just the squad leader.

hay @wise barn i have talked to you before im having the same issue as previous but i don't know why it had totally stopped like 3 months ago and its happening again i know last time you couldn't give me anyway to fix it but i was wondering if you could come up with anything now?

wise barn
#

what was your issue again?

tranquil widget
#

0xC0000005 - ACCESS_VIOLATION

#

i get that whenever i get in a vic

#

tranquil widget
#

wise barn
#

hmm... try another port, or unplug and use an analogue audio source (3.5mm)

tranquil widget
#

i put it on to my c drive recently so i was woundering if i moved it back t my d it might fix it

wise barn
#

@misty hinge
no troubleshooting without the actual error msg

misty hinge
#

ok il look for it do u want my log as well

wise barn
#

a screenshot of the msg should do it for now.
use imgur and post the image link here

#

@tranquil widget
as said, try another port or unplug it for analogue audio source

misty hinge
#

give me a few mins i have to load up my game and test it again

wise barn

hard stratus

So, perhaps someone of you can help me. I play Arma3 with ace, but I have a big problem. I create my lodaout with everything, all medical, at rag, bandages, ear plugs, iv and so on. As I play everything is just fine, as I save and quit, even still in the game, one I load back in I lose every possibility to put stuff back in, the stuff In my lodaout stay, but I lose all the IV, so no transfusion and after every hit, even full bandaged and morphined I die because of the blood loss. Can some one help me with that?

Thank you folks :)

misty hinge
wise barn
#

ok, in what situation does this happen?

hard stratus
#

Everytime if I quit the scenario or the single player campaign, as I load back in I can't get anything from the special equipment tablet in the VR arsenal

misty hinge
#

when i try to spawn a vehicle

wise barn
#

using mods?

misty hinge
#

yes

wise barn
#

try without mods first (vanilla)

misty hinge
#

ok

wise barn
#

if it works, it's a mod issue

#

to find the mod, cut your list in half. run the 50% and see what happens. if no error occurs, run the other half. if an error occurs, split the 50% in half again, retry. do this until you found the smelly fish

misty hinge
#

ok

uncut trellis
#

@hard stratus that the vanilla campaign? its not designed to be run with mods

#

so it likely wont save that stuff

hard stratus
#

No, the campaign is fine, I don't use ace while in it. Are the scenarios. dynamic universal war sistem have this problem and it's a scenario I use very often

I keep on getting this error after an hour of arma gameplay DX11 error : buffer Map Failed : DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED

#

I play for an hour an without fail, it pops up

#

Crashes back to desktop and crashes the launcher too

wise barn
#

this is caused by a micro dropout / hang of the graphics driver. this happens to everyone, in the past and now. there are two reasons i know of: the first issue here is, microsoft reduced the threshold time to report it as an error and halts the process in win10 (win8.1 had a longer threshold). the second issue could be, that your GPU runs too hot and hangs too long, kind of leading to issue one.
if this keeps happening, monitor your GPU temps (junction temp in this case). if the temps are fine, expand the threshold time for error reporting. there are several how-to and tuts online describing the process

uninstall arma
go through your files manually and delete all leftovers
reinstall steam (do NOT uninstall steam, just download the installer and install it at the same location where your steam is now)

reinstall visual studio 2013
install arma

I removed it and loaded it a second time and it didn't respond and the bug was not fixed

my disk had issues so i run the chkdsk command after that my launcher is not starting though the game runs fine from the original exes

#

@uncut trellis many times yes

uncut trellis
#

did you verify game files?

#

and if disk has issues it might be breaking up

#

so it might be time to get new disk

latent flicker
#

yes indeed but the errors are fixed now i think they were bad sectors on it

wise barn
#

no i have 12gb of memory that error has something to do with microsoft .NET
why do you think it is .NET related?
12GB seem odd, but nevertheless has nothing to do with your issue
looks like you either screwed your paging files or deleted it (virtual memory on your drive)

latent flicker
#

i defragged my hardrive so yes maybe its pagefiles issue πŸ€”
though i had it set on auto paging

pine kite
#

@median imp I think that line is normal.

wise barn
#

is it a hard drive or SSD?

latent flicker
#

HDD

median imp
#

@pine kite yes, I just checked it with another server

wise barn
#

yes, defrag can cause paging issues

#

got an SSD?

latent flicker
#

nope

#

single HDD

wise barn
#

too bad. arma runs way better on SSD and no defrag needed

median imp
#

for whatever reason I can't join my own server now. Was playing perfectly fine one moment, add a new bikey for a mod and suddenly I can't join anymore, it just stays on the initial loading screen forever. I even deleted the key again but nope, nothing

wise barn
#

get an SSD. it's recommended

latent flicker
#

expensive as well ^ ^

wise barn
#

wot?

#

where are you located?

latent flicker
#

sorry cant tell you that lol

wise barn
#

just the rough region. central europe, east europe, ect

latent flicker
#

Africa

wise barn
#

ok, then you're right. importing stuff is expensive

#

(africa is a continent btw πŸ˜‰ )

latent flicker
#

:p

wise barn
#

nevertheless, try to restore your paging files

#

this should fix your memory issue

latent flicker
#

yes please but how ?

wise barn
#

well, i would have to google that. don't know it out of my head. so you better google that yourself.

#

you can check the current like follows

#
2. Write "msinfo32" and press enter. The window "System Information" appears.
3. On the right side in the list are some rows related to memory. I'm interested in 3 of them: Total Virtual Memory, Available Virtual Memory and Page File Space```
latent flicker
#

Now i remember something !!!
i have defraged free space D:

wise barn
#

meh...

latent flicker
#

that what caused the issue thanks !

wise barn
#

well, at least you now know what to look for πŸ˜„

#

good luck

hey i have a problem with my arma 3, when i host an operation as a zeus, for some reason, the players do not appear on my screen as "players" instead the game says they're AI and when i ask them to shoot, or move, the AI moves and shoots, but nothing else happens, they're also listed as AI from the zeus menu, on my screen they're completely fucked, on their screen, they're desyncing to hell, i have never had this issue before until now, and its becoming reoccurring, i never changed the modpack we used, nor did i modify the settings that we usually had, i wonder if anyone else had this weird ass desync issue

latent flicker

finally i fixed that issue it was corrupted system files appeared after defragging, if anyone facing this issue "System.OutOfMemoryException" its a windows fault

Hey guys, running into a problem with Arma. People seem to be able to connect to the server i host or even a local host but encounter the problem of being stuck in a loading screen, it doesn't say connected. Only work around i have found is restarting the server and waiting in the slot screen, people cannot join it seems once the mission has started or if i cycle back to the mission screen. Any help would be great, from what i have heard a few people can here music in the loading screen iirc that is due to some error what it is i do not know. Also tried this across a few mod packs/ mission files and still encounter the same issue

strange crest
#

validate game files
check your internet connection
make certain your router is on port forwarding
@fringe salmon

#

is my advice

I have done all of them and asked all people to do the same, server is hosted of one of them hosting websites

So I am making a scenario where a building the player spawns in is off the ground, high in the air to achieve the perception that damn, this place is tall (in my scenario, it needs to be quite high). However, upon spawning in, the player goes immediate free fall or whatever and has to kinda get up off the floor. Any way to prevent this from happening, or any workarounds to prevent entities from going into temporary free fall? (besides moving the building onto the ground surface)

I'm having trouble with workshop

#

It's showing that I have to sign in before I subscribe to a mod

#

But I'm logged in on steam client

#

And when I press log in the page just fails to laod

#

Is this a steam side issue?

fringe salmon
#

Are you trying to do this over a browser?

#

If it is, copy the link and paste it to one of your friends, once you’ve done that click it and it will take you to the page through steam instead of the browser

#

@stone pawn

stone pawn
#

It's on the steam client

fringe salmon
#

If you are already logged into steam and have access to your profile and games it shouldn’t require you to log in. Only thing I know off that requires log in is doing it through your browser

stone pawn
#

Well yeah

#

I would think it's a steam problem

#

I have arma 3 in my library

#

Could it be because I am downloading it still?

pine kite
#

@stone pawn Probably your download rate is preventing other traffic from arriving. Reduce your download rate limit in Steam to like 80-90% of your max ISP bandwidth.

Okay so uhm i Bought arma 3 yesterday, tried starting it today and turns out my Pc instantly turns off like the energy supply got cut off. After that i have to cut off the pc from the energy supply completely to turn him on again. I've already searched up some resolutions but i only found old ones, maybe you guys could help me out.

uncut trellis
#

windows and all drivers up tp date?

sterile laurel
#

what drivers?

uncut trellis
#

gpu etc

sterile laurel
#

Gpu yeah

#

whats etc tho, thats what im asking ^^

uncut trellis
#

motherboard, audio etc what you got running

sterile laurel
#

so downloaded the newest driver for my motherboard

#

ive seen, that apparently it might be the power adapter but i will never know i guess

#

He turned off again

#

if you guys got any solutions dm me

uncut trellis
#

how much output does your power have?

#

make sure your GPU and case fans are clean and running

#

and also make sure your GPU control software does not limit your GPU fan speeds too much so that it does not overheat

sterile laurel
#

my pc is actually bottle necking but i dont think its that big of a problem because the recommended spec's are way worse than the parts i have right now

#

my pc is like 4 month old so the fans are good to go

uncut trellis
#

then its possible there is a loose connection

sterile laurel
#

in what

uncut trellis
#

in you components

sterile laurel
#

oof

#

but everything else works

uncut trellis
#

well then there is not a loose connection

sterile laurel
#

this is the first time that such things happen

uncut trellis
sterile laurel
#

hmmm

#

what might be loose?

uncut trellis
#

or there is but it does not spike up before xtra tough strain

#

anything really I suppose

sterile laurel
#

oof

uncut trellis
#

did you put it together yourself?

sterile laurel
#

Yessir

uncut trellis
#

what was the power supply rating?

sterile laurel
#

from the power adapter?

uncut trellis
#

yes

sterile laurel
#

uhhh

#

i think around 200

uncut trellis
#

something hunderd W

sterile laurel
#

i really cant remember

uncut trellis
#

this you got to check out immediately

#

if your power supply does not give enough power then it shuts down

sterile laurel
#

ohh okay

uncut trellis
#

200 sounds way too low

sterile laurel
#

whats recommended?

uncut trellis
#

so best to check what you put together

#

it usually says it at the sticker at the back of the power supply

sterile laurel
#

so i might have to buy a new power adapter i guess

uncut trellis
#

why do you keep saying power adapter?

#

what do you have connected to your case?

sterile laurel
#

cuz im not american lol

#

sorry

#

nor do i come from any english speaking country

#

okay

#

im from germany but our mother tounge isnt english

#

thats what i wanted to say

uncut trellis
#

alright-o power adapter just sounds like the thing you use in laptops

sterile laurel
#

ohh

#

it translated like that

#

happens to me so like

uncut trellis
#

thats alright

#

just making sure

sterile laurel
#

okay so i checked it

#

it says 230 W

uncut trellis
#

oof that is very low

#

I think you are just running out of power

sterile laurel
#

oo

#

frick

#

but one thing; how do i know what actually fits my case?

#

related to the power supply now

uncut trellis
#

they are pretty standard sized usually

#

well there are different fits for different types of cases

#

what case do you have?

sterile laurel
#

oohh

#

i really cant remember what case i choose

#

big problem

uncut trellis
#

did you buy it online?

sterile laurel
#

yes but i did it with someone i have no real contact to anymore

#

i can check it real quick if i can find it

#

nope, not in there

uncut trellis
#

well I suppose you could also check the exact type of the power you have in right now

sterile laurel
#

im mad at that guy i built the pc with

#

okay but thats not the point

#

i can open my pc at sometime and check it

uncut trellis
#

the back label might have serial number on it

#

or even the type name of it

sterile laurel
#

the only thing i see is 115/230 W~

uncut trellis
#

ah then thats not the right thing we are looking for

#

youll need to look into the case

sterile laurel
#

ohhhh

uncut trellis
#

sometimes this tuff reads at the back

sterile laurel
#

yeah im gonna do that another day

#

conclusion; not the right power supply

uncut trellis
#

well I think the value you had at the back is not what I wanted to know

#

so it will say what it is inside

keen widget
#

can you take a pic of the case? someone can prob tell you the right "size"
do you have a receipt for any of this stuff ? wattage for the psu could be on there? or the other guy have it?

sterile laurel
#

uhm thats the problem

#

i have built that with a guy that is apparently "really good" with these things

#

and he has all the receipts

#

but we dont have contact anymore

#

i have a feeling he did it on purpose but okay thats not the point

#

i will get a look if i have the time to do so

#

if it is indeed in the 200 range, you are on the market for a new psu. this is frustrating. i remember getting into all of this. sorry to hear you having rough go

Hello there fellow Arma 3 players, i seem to be having a bit of trouble when hosting an arma 3 dedicated server and was wondering if anyone can help me with it, i am currently using SteamCMD and TADST to host the server

keen widget
#

cant "see " the server?

analog cedar
#

no my game just doesnt open

#

I'll post what my server console says

#

150802 Dedicated host created.
150811 Game Port: 2302, Steam Query Port: 2303
150813 UPNP initialized
150813 Host identity created.

#

it just stops there

keen widget
#

unless you have a mission defined for it to start on, seems normal.

#

can you connect to the server?

analog cedar
#

game doesnt open and idk how to open it without closing the server

keen widget
#

is it the same machine or different machines?

analog cedar
#

same

keen widget
#

and you dl the steam server files or are using the server exe in your main game folder?

analog cedar
#

i downloaded the arma 3 server through steamCMD

keen widget
#

it sounds to me like what is happening is the server is opening as your main game somehow, and you cant have two instances.. i know when i update my servers with the cmd it tells me when im done on my gaming pc by saying ive logged out from steam on the server machine. ( after update)
i would maybe make a separate partition for server stuff. make sure tadst isnt picking up your main game folder.

#

im sure someone else knows more

analog cedar
#

how do i make sure Tadst isnt picking up the main game folder?

#

cuz i have the server files on a whole seperate drive than my arma installation

#

wait i may have got it working, it seems to not run through steam when i close steam before launching the server

keen widget
#

just make sure its not pointing to your game folder for some reason, a diff drive is the same as sep partition you are good there

analog cedar
#

yeah i have my steam cmd on my c drive and my games on my d drive

#

i seem to be stuck on the loading screen though

#

15:22:00 Can't find a mission collection / mission with template name: 'ArmAGeddon%20mission.altis', skipping to next mission.

keen widget
#

its in the mpmission folder as .pbo? (on server)

analog cedar
#

no

#

i just took the folder

#

do i only put the PBO in there?

keen widget
#

try pbo. think you need filepatching enabled for folders

#

preferably

analog cedar
#

can i rename the PBO without causing problems?

keen widget
#

i would emilinate spaces, but thats me, you should be able to just pack it the way it is

analog cedar
#

ok lemme try that

#

the ultimate question is can others join me

keen widget
#

lol

analog cedar
#

yeah i get an error now

#

says cant open file mission

keen widget
#

thats all about ports. i do them manually on the machine and router, the upnp may work i dunno

pine kite
#

Multiplayer missions need to be placed in the MPmissions folder of the server, if it doesn't exist, create it. You can define the mission to play in the server config file (or however TADST does it) or just #login as admin and do #missions to choose it.

keen widget
#

i got him set up so its playable, but there seems to be one problem, he must start the server before he signs into steam , or he cannot launch his game, as steam says its already running. im not sure if thats sop for running dedi on same pc or not.

my mission won't even launch in singleplayer
when i try it just pops up with the ace error "File ace_medical_gui.pbo is outdated", shows the blank mission info screen (duration, objectives, rating, reverts) and when i hit "continue" it boots me back out to the editor

#

has anyone had this issue before, and if so, is there a way to fix it?

uncut trellis
#

update your ACE

#

I think someone mentioned that pbo being obsolete now

wise barn
#

update doesn't always work. it happens that old PBOs do not get deleted. if that's the case, unsub and resub on the workshop

formal salmon
#

trying that now

#

same error popped up, though when i launched it said that acex relied on 3.13 or later and my version was, for some reason, 3.12.6?

#

i don't get this

#

i deleted and reinstalled it but it didn't install the most up-to-date version for some godforsaken reason

#

i deleted and reinstalled it but it didn't install the most up-to-date version for some godforsaken reason

i deleted and reinstalled it but it didn't install the most up-to-date version for some godforsaken reason

#

i deleted and reinstalled it but it didn't install the most up-to-date version for some godforsaken reason

formal salmon
#

yes, i am subscribed to that

#

the issue is that it is installing a prior version despite being subbed to that one

#

which is mind-boggling to say the least

#

what the fuck arma why are you like this

#

jesus christ

#

literally just steam workshop being fucking broken and not installing the latest version of ace

#

but when i load another mod list it fucking fixes it?

uncut trellis
#

Do you have some mod packs running?

#

As mod packs often contain outdated mods

formal salmon
#

uh, no

#

it's all individual mods

#

it's a modified version of my group's normal modlist that replaces most of our equipment mods (which is all modern stuff, rhs, niarms, etc.) and replaces it with there is only war, grimdark armory, and 40k auxiliaries (plus ace compats for all of these)

#

that is the only change i've made, just swapping out equipment shit

#

and it somehow broke ace

#

i'm going to reuse my prior version of this modlist to see if that'll work

#

because when i switch over to our normal one it works fine

#

wait if this is what i think it is

#

i fixed it

#

fucking was a minor rebalance mod for a couple things from there is only war

#

removed it and the ace compat for it and i'm no longer having issues

#

i just got one of those epiphanies like "wait, if these are the only things i've added, and the issue isn't with something i've removed, then it must be one of these 6 or so mods"

  • Remove MODs
  • Throw your computer out

Everything would turn poor if there's unoptimized MOD/script/server/mission

Remember: if you crash into an issue, remove MODs and make sure isn't an issue on the game itself

So, my friends and I want to play with eachother, however, we cannot see eachothers servers and when trying to join from steam, it says server not responding, any help?

pine kite
#

You need to set up port forwarding in your router to the computer running the server. (UDP 2302-2306 to the IP of the server) Or at least, the person hosting the server should do that to make it work. Alternatively, if you are both connected to the same VPN network you may be able to connect as a LAN-multiplayer session.

I suggest writing down exact problems and how you ended up encountering them

I recommend asking in the KOTH discord

with an exact problem description as Polpox and HG mentioned

Can anyone help? My Arma keeps hard crashing whenever I load in to a multiplayer server. Doesn't do it anytime else on the game.

Hello, I delete old Mod presets, once I restart the game and the launcher, they are back. This also happens with new presets that I make. If you could @ me if you could help, it would be appreciated.

SOLVED

Getting "Data Error (cyclic redundancy check)" error whenever I launch Arma. It doesn't get past the initial loading screen to the main menu before getting the error and crash.

Random potentially useful info:

No mods.
Installed on an SSD.
Other games on the drive work and a chkdsk did not help.
Re-installing Arma did not help.
Windows Event Viewer shows a 'bad block' error whenever I get the crash. However with a chkdsk not fixing it I don't know what else to do.
The drive is relatively new (1 year or so old) and other games work fine on it so I don't think it's the drive... (maybe potentially, who knows)

Seemed to begin happening randomly. One day I could launch it, and then suddenly this error occurs.

Anyone know any ways to troubleshoot this further or potentially fix it?

cyclic redundancy check
Can yo uscreenshot that? Sounds like mods that just have a circular dependency?

Would that still happen if running vanilla from the vanilla launcher?

ok never saw that error before

I'mma look

Thanks for the assistance

well I cannot find that error message anywhere in our code thonk

#

Ah okay. I guess it's a windows thing then... Do you know anywhere I could post to get help with it? I have no idea what to do next except replace the drive, and that might not even be the problem lol

@turbid sluice
make a backup of your mission folders (SP / MP) and then empty them

turbid sluice
#

Thanks for the responses.

Chkdsk has been ran a few times, just to make sure, and hasn't changed anything.

I emptied the SP/MP mission folders but that also had no change.

Could this be graphics driver related potentially? I recently ish updated them to the latest (For GTX 1080 TI) but I can't remember if that was before or after the errors began. I re-installed the latest again, in case of a bad install but again no change.

Edit: Rolled back graphics drivers - no change.

Henlo, I am the leader of a regiment, we host a server through GTX gaming, my friend is in the regiment as well, he can however not connect to the server, because it is not showing up for him. If he looks in the arma 3 launcher servers friends tab other servers show up, but not mine. He has also tried direct connecting which ended with nothing. Does anyone know whats happening/how to fix.

Every time i try to launch the game it keeps telling me that pmc_gm requires addon a3_air_f_aegis_heli_lights_02 or something like that

#

But every mod i installed is up to date and has all the required mods installed

#

Even tried verifying integrity of the game through steam

#

Think i got it

Regarding my problem, that AI Units will be empty with "Error: No Unit" on Dedicated, i was able to pinpoint the problem maybe. Every Unit with this Problem, was have doStop this; in his init, to prevent moving in Position after Mission-Start.

After removing doStop this; the Unit would act normal, but won't stay in position. Has anyone a Tip, how i can prevent AI to move in Formation/Position without using doStop this;?

Maybe try to DM the Admin. I do not know about this one, but in some servers, if you use an alt to come back on it for whatever the purpose, they may permanently ban your main and alt account for β€˜ban evading’.

That’s my advice, trying to Direct Messaging to Admin.

@patent flint give this disableAI β€œPATH”; a go in the units init field

I think there was also some magical imput you can do if you want the AI to stand still until contact, so they can do an ambush and then start moving. But I don't remember the magical words and I can't really be arsed to look it up.

It was doStop this afaik but its broken right now, from what i see

@quaint jewel and for anyone else looking for info and help with Cyclic Redundany errors - Found the issue. I renamed my Arma 3 - Other Profiles folder to something so the game wouldn't recognise it and re-create a new one. This allowed me to get into the menu of the game, HURRAY!

So it seems like some sort of file in there was messing with launch. I tried to copy over my vars.Arma3Profile file over to the new folder that got auto-created in hopes to save my settings, but windows "cant read from the source file or disk" so I assume the cause was a corrupted profile file.

Hope this helps in some way in the future. (Apologies if the @ is too much, I don't know if you want to know about this kind of stuff or not πŸ˜„ )

#

Trying to use the Script Profiler to figure out whats causing the Server Crash issue im having, but it wont even load up the game

quaint jewel
#

how would a profiler help you with a crash?

mild hazel
#

because I want to see if its a script sending too much network traffic to clients and causing the server to slow down and crash

quaint jewel
#

windows server?

#

loading via -mod and also loading intercept?

mild hazel
#

does it only have to be loaded on the server?

quaint jewel
#

if you want to profile the server you have to run it on the server

mild hazel
#

so once its loaded on the server, how do i actually get it up on my side so I can see the scripts? do i run the exe thats in the workshop folder of it?

quaint jewel
#

you run the exe and connect to the server

mild hazel
#

ok, cool. So I'll need the server IP, however, whenever I load up ArmA with the script profiler and intercept mod loaded on my end, it crashes the game

quaint jewel
#

Profiler is only for Arma 3, ArmA is not supported

mild hazel
#

yea meant arma 3

#

sorry

quaint jewel
#

Yeah I heard about issues on latest A3 version, couldn't get to look at it yet

mild hazel
#

ok, np. Does it actually need to be in my load order if its on the server?

quaint jewel
#

it doesn't do any multiplayer anything

#

you only need to load it where you use it

mild hazel
#

ok, so load it on my end, connect to the server, make sure Tracy is open and connected to my IP and then that should work?

quaint jewel
#

huh

#

what scripts do you want to profile? the scripts running on your client or the scripts running on the server?

#

it should work, but as I heard it currently doesn't and I don't have time to fix it

mild hazel
#

scripts running on the server. Its the same issue i posted before, where the server crashes after 10 secs of loading. Orange chain, then followed by a red chain and no message received leading to a server crash. Its not a mod issue as i have ran the mission without mods so i'm thinking its a network traffic or script issues. That's why I wanted to use the script profiler to look at it

#

the script profiler crashes the game on startup when it's loaded on my end

quaint jewel
#

well if scripts are running on server, then you want to profile on the server too, not on your client

mild hazel
#

so load the profiler on the server side?

#

i havent used the profiler before so I have no idea how to use it

mild hazel
#

I also have recent dump files and rpt files if you wanna take a look

Right. So I was building my first base, trying to place a bugalow. Whenever I placed it it did not stick to its set hight but instead ploped down halway into the ground. So I thought Id try somewhere else. While doing so I swooped my truck away and effed it up and the bungalow got stuck upside down mid air. Now the question is: What is to be doenlol

hi, im having a problem with the arma eastwind campaign signal lost mission. none of the scripting seems to work like it seems none of the triggers are being set off as tasks arent being assigned, audio/radio dialogue isnt playing or showing and ive tried verifying my files, restarting the mission and even the campaign to no luck. any ideas?

weary sky
#

do you have any mods running?

#

because some might break the mission(s)

mystic pilot
#

i do but most of them are just effects like blastcore

#

i turned them off and tried and it still didnt work

grim tinsel
#

Hm I've heard a few of these reports now

mild hazel
#

Regarding the server crash issues, I've now figured out that with the exact same modset and mission file on a different dedicated server hosted on my friends PC instead of the dedicated server box my group uses does not cause the server to crash, which leads me to believe its something running on the server causing the issue. Would somebody be able to take a look at the server setting for each server and see if they can spot anything?

dim tinsel
#

Hey all, I'm new here, but not new to Arma. So, question: I'm having issues with the A-2 Darter. Sometimes, when I set it to loiter around the waypoint I've provided, it flies in the specified radius and auto spots everything. Most of the time, however, it just flies to the waypoint and sits, not spotting anything. Any idea how to get it to loiter properly every time?

steady hawk
#

That doesn't help you. You have to write more info

steady hawk
#

Well actually most likely because of your MODs. Remove MODs so you won't get that error in the most of times

Or load CBA. IDK

waaaay to many mods that have redchain

The only mod that doesn't have yellowchain that I know is the "Remove yellow chain" mod

Is the Workshop Scenario Manager being annoying to anyone else today? (publishing missions via editor thingy)
I uploaded a scenario private and now want to update it. Its not in the list. All my other missions are there, that one is just missing. I can still subscribe and play the mission, so it is still on workshop.
I had the same thing yesterday, though it was due to me renaming the WS page and just deleted and reuploaded it. But now it happened again, so what the hell is happening?

do you have mods loaded?

Hey

#

I'm having an issue with ai teamkilling friendlies in the squad

#

Like say we are holding put on a field and there's zombies running towards us. Friendly ai in my squad keeps accidentally shooting other friendly ai in my squad, and sometimes me, too

wise barn
#

get a better position before starting a firefight

green olive
#

I mean

#

It's an AI, it should't shoot friendlies

#

Is there a setting I could tweak or something?

uncut trellis
#

no.

#

could be issue with the mods you are using

#

zombie stuff might be interfering

green olive
#

hmm

#

It's the zombies and demons mod

wise barn
#

never done zombie stuff, but...
iirc they are initially civilians, friendly to blufor
if you shoot them, friendly AI might punish you

green olive
#

We are independent, zombies are opfor

#

and the issue is more with the ai shooting ai

#

(but also yeah it also shooting me)

#

and they aren't like killing instantly as payback, but just stray shots and so on

#

And I've marked both east and west as enemy

uncut trellis
#

stray shots you cant do anything about

#

get to better positions and dont get between your AI an the zombies

green olive
#

again, the issue is mostly with ai shooting ai

#

I can't control ai position that accurately πŸ˜„

uncut trellis
#

control your own position

#

do not get in the middle

green olive
#

@uncut trellis I'm not ai πŸ˜„

uncut trellis
#

yes

#

do not get into the AI line of fire

#

then they should not shoot at you

#

if they still shoot at you, something is wrong in your mission or your mod setup

green olive
#

@uncut trellis what part of "ai keeps shooting ai" do you not understand? πŸ˜„

uncut trellis
#

I give up

green olive
#

Hey
I'm having an issue with ai teamkilling friendlies in the squad
Like say we are holding put on a field and there's zombies running towards us. Friendly ai in my squad keeps accidentally shooting other friendly ai in my squad, and sometimes me, too

wise barn
#

do they turn around, aim at you and fire?

green olive
#

@wise barn no

#

they try to shoot zombies

uncut trellis
#

then the same applies to the AI as well

wise barn
#

your AI and you are simply just in the line of fire

uncut trellis
#

you have positioned them in bad formation

green olive
#

@wise barn and there's no option to make them be smarter than that?

#

no mod or anything?

uncut trellis
#

no

Who is hosting the server anyway? You or your Russian friends? That person needs to open the ports for the arma server in their router. (2302-2306 UDP) And have that point to the internal network/LAN IPv4 address of the computer running the server. (can be in the ranges: 192.168.x.y/172.16-31.x.y/10.x.y.z) The people loggin on to the server need to connect to the (external) IPv4 address, which the hoster sees when visiting whatsmyip.net in a browser.

if you are running an old mission and having an addon error for missing content, you can manually delete it from mission.sqm by editing it in notepad or something

It's still doing it 😬 no matter whether I download it through the workshop installer on the server or upload it through the FTP

#

I see what it is though looking at my mission, surely if I'm able to put it in to begin with it means it exists and its the server not acknowledging it?

#

I've fixed it and let me tell you I feel like an idiot basically when I wrote the command line I wrote it on Word first, then copy and pasted it in. But when you do a - in word, it changes it into a longer one, which reads differently in the command line

that's what to expect looking ar your CPU and RAM speed

#

FX series is somewhat the worst series of AMD, and your RAM is damn slow

#

reduce view distance and disable PIP do gain some FPS

#

nothing else for you to do

#

@covert echo

covert echo
#

@wise barn the speed is 669mhz per stick and I have 4 of them if that's any help

#

fx6300 is overclocked a bit

wise barn
#

the speed is 669mhz per stick and I have 4 of them
doesn't matter. still veeery slow
fx6300 is overclocked a bit
also doesn't matter. this CPU is like 8y old iirc, and it was bad already back then

#

but nevertheless, your overall performance in arma with that hardware kind of resembles the lower to middle average, which is not that bad

craggy grove
#

i can also back that, i had a similar build and couldn't average above 35 FPS.

wise barn
#

the RAM you have is the second slowest DDR3 ram on the marked (DDR3-1333). there are much faster DIMMs around with slower timings tho, but tbh... i don't think it would make much of a difference with your CPU

#

in total: you are either stuck with what you have (performance), or you invest some bling in a new build

craggy grove

also weird question, idk if this is whats causing my game to be weird, would a Disk Write Error cause white trees in arma 3
