so check first one
this is in arma?
yep
@wise barn do you know anything about usb mics problems?
it depends. what's the issue?
mic works everywhere, except arma=)
dedicated USB mic, or part of a headset?
part, ROG Centurion
pretty much a software issue of this fake surround BS...
those headsets usually come with the worst drivers and software possible
stuff like this likes to switch sound/audio sources on the fly and on demand (audio channels of the headset.)
arma does not like that. not at all.
you can try to "deactivate" the software that comes with the headset, change it to stereo only mode and make sure your input device (mic) is set as default
the deal is, that it was working pretty fine, untill one day
and of course, i tried to deactivate\delete drivers, software\ change default devices
checked and changed steam configs
nothing happened
duno what to do
did you at some point change the USB port?
nope, 100% sure
try switching
hmmm,sec
arma must not be running ofc
ofc
NOPE
sry
nothing changed
i hear everybody, noone hears me
it seems pretty strange, cuz it work everywhere, but arma
it works even in steam
idk then
I cant control myself or any ai in zeus for some reason
i can aim
open map
just unable to move my head
holding mouse buttons to move head?
try
when i try controlling ai, ai is still controlling the unit, im just spectating
the unit
i cant use my mouse to move my head at all
In the past I had set Windows 10 security settings to not allow certain applications to use the microphone. Couldn't figure out why no one could hear me talking in discord, then the lightbulb went on. Doh!!
I already do them, but it still does not work @brave hawk
for reference:
Hello , sorry i have a question
My Arma III crash in loading server , "Memory Corupted #0"
You have solution ?try checking your Steam game files cache, if it doesn't do the trick, head towards #arma3_troubleshooting 😉
I am afraid I don't know much more. have you tried without mods?
Yes
I keep dying in the Support gamemode when infantry unload from my helicopter
Hello, whenever i try to launch my server, i get the following errors "18:40:46 Warning: Current Steam AppId: 107410
doesn't match expected value: 107410"
In my steam_apid.txt the id is the correct one, 107410. Anyone knows why i get this error?
I got an ad for the Helicopter DLC but I already have the DLC
Are you sure it is enabled in the properties of Arma 3 in your library?
Restart Steam if you bought it just before.
Hey, i have problem on my server, if i die i respawn on spectator mode and medic can revive me because i dispawn
Can they revive you, or can't they revive you? Also, post which mods and mission are used as it might matter.
i have an arma 3 unit, and i am in the unit in-game. i have a unit logo uploaded on arma3.com, and the logo shows up on the main arma 3 menu, however, it does not show up in game. On helicopters, uniforms, or on the player list. it says i am in the unit, but the emblem is missing
stop tagging mods, we're not here to help you with your game problems
BUT now as I read it, you might review the squad logo wiki page
review the squad logo creation
I waited one day and my patch was working fine on everything
@wise barn i was able to fix arma 3 sound by " reinstalling the june 2010 directx redistributable package.
that pack is in the arma 3 folder:
.\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3_CommonRedist\DirectX\Jun2010\DXSETUP.exe"
@fallow swan i have no idea what that link is
i am not a scripter
i just want to know why the emblem isnt appearing in game
i am doing everything correctly, right? all i have to do is upload it to arma3.com as the unit emblem, right?
why wont it appear in game? i have tried with a jpg, and a png file
wait wait wait. i have to go through all that .xml file stuff and make a special file with a bunch of code for the emblem to appear in game? i am so confused
does your unit show in Arma launcher?
yes
does your emblem show ingame when you click on the profile icon on top right of main menu
it shows in the launcher, and in the main menu
yes
but it does not show when i am playing
did you try singleplayer, I don't know if it would show there
it does not show on uniform or vehicles
in multiplayer it depends on the server, the server needs to download your image and send it to other players
also doesn't work on all uniforms I think.
then how do i make the server display it?
if it works for you in main menu, its probably fine
if it doesn't show on server, probably something wrong with the server
very new unit?
well i made it like 2 weeks ago
i am still the only one in it
@quaint jewel i just tested it in the editor and it does not show up on uniform or helicopter
@vestal patrol did you get in to the vehicle? 🤔
tried different vehicles?
i have tried lots of vehicles
i tried the pawnee
i tried hatchback
@fallow swan i dont think i am doing anything wrong
can you explain in your own words how to make your unit emblem appear on vehicles?
just to double check that i am doing it right
read the wiki again on the emblem creation
sorry then
Are there any known reasons why squad xml should not work on a web host with its own domain and https security?
with version 2.00, no not anymore
I apologize for the repeated question, but after a few days of searching, I'm already sad because I can't find a solution to how works my squad.xml Can't you help me?
My squad.xml: http://ravens-regiment.com/squad.xml
On url everything works but in game isn't.. 😦
your nick in squad.xml equals the nick ingame?
You entered the squad.xml in your profile settings properly?
do you see your logo in local hosted multiplayer?
do you see the squad descriptions? only the logo missing?
no errors in RPT? including server?
I don't see anything at all, just like I don't have an active squad xml and yea nick and squad xml is correct entered
RPT ? what do you mean this ?
arma logfile
Where can I find him, please?
appdata/local/arma 3
where your server logfile is I don't know, depends on the server
but if you test in local hosted MP that will show in your log
your url ingame is different than the one you sent here
you have https ingame
but you sent http here
you have a hard redirect to https.
so probably fine
but its different, before 2.00 https was broken

Ah
you have a web tag inside the first member tag
thats invalid
I'm an idiot for two days I didn't notice for God's sake
atleast you now know where log file is to troubleshoot issues more efficiently in the future
Yes, thank you very much for your willingness. I'll try to reset the game and hope it works
Thanks

I can’t heal anything with ACE mod, I sent pictures in #screenshots_arma
@hoary jetty check your ACE settings, perhaps you are required to be a medic or need to holster your weapon
no, because those settings are stored in your user profile, not in the mod
Yes it is
I feel dumb now
It was holster weapon
I thought that made it to where u automatically holster your weapon when u open the medical menu
Thx
Hey so I am trying to do an a10 gun run on this mod called Dynamic Universal War Simulator (singleplayer) but for some reason my view distance simply cuts off around 2 or less kilometers, making it pretty hard. In the editor I was able to max out my draw distance and see far ahead with ease, so I know its not an issue with my computer. anybody have a fix?
Often set on the server, nothing you can do.
It's singleplayer right?
It might be set in the mission.
Whatever your mission is, there's a command to force the view distance. If you have an access to the Debug Console, execute:
setViewDistance 5000```is the command. Replace 5000 with your desired distance in meters
Is there a way I can force access to the debug menu? I don't have access
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1231625987
Use this is the easiest way
Alright I'll check this out. Thanks!
it worked! thanks!
@zinc river please move that to #arma3_scripting and use code formatting
hey guys, i have not been able to play ARMA 3 for the past three months. i swear i have looked through every forum on this error and i just cannot get it to work. i'm hoping there is some solution i have not seen yet. just to be clear, i have 800 hours in this game so ik it works on this PC. this literally came out of nowhere.
let me get the code and troubleshooting i have done so far
0xc0000005 -status access violation
That error means the game is not allowed to access one or more files on your system.
Most likely installed Arma as admin and now try to start the game without admin.
Does anyone know how to get mortar shells in DUWS? I think it’s bugged or something, i looked through the entire armory( don’t ever wanna do that again) and couldn’t find it
Hey does anyone know the fix for nobody being able to hear you with caps vc? everything else registers my mic except arma and i dunno what happened. Already tried reinstall
Check your key binds
done
If you're using TFAR or ACRE, ensure the caps lock keybind is programmed/enabled.
Failing that, create a new user profile in game and test
Sorry shoulda mentioned this but the issue is with Vanilla TFAR works perfectly
Yes, should always mention what you've tried, what worked previously ;)
Create a new user profile and test.
that didnt seem the work either. The marker comes up that shows i am pushing it but they cant hear me
I'm out of recommendations at the moment, not enough coffee yet. Lots of results on Google though.
https://lmgtfy.app/?q=arma+caps+lock%2C+others+cant+hear+me
For all those people who find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than search it for themselves.
Garage problem, all information is clear, full price 0$, and max speed any information... Please help me... https://prnt.sc/vjmemv
Not a default Arma issue. Ask the creator of the mod you're using.
The mod creator is tonic and he don't respond after 72 hours...
wait another 72 hours?
As long as there is no error, or something caused by Arma (and not a mod), there is nothing we can do
@weary sky Okay thank, where can I find help for the mods?
Anyone having a problem starting Arma I keep getting a Cloud issue? please @ me will be playing another game
Cloud issue?
onedrive issue i guess
basically OnDrive "hijacked" the documents folder
google for solutions in regards to "arma 3 + OneDrive". there are plenty solutions out there.
@proper jasper
I have tried some to most solutions still no effect I have even tried reinstalling Arma and nothing has worked
@wise barn
i never had this issue and was never really confronted with it. i have no idea how OneDrive works since i don't use any other cloud services other than Google Drive.
Either you study how to setup your OneDrive that it does not capture/hijacks your documents folder, or you remove it completely if you don't use it
Thats the thing I loaded up Arma when OneDrive wasnt even installed on my computer and it showed the error
1 solution says to reinstall windows after wiping my pc and Im NOT about to do that
no, that' be overkill.
doublecheck if OneDrive is nowhere to be found on your PC. not even hidden...
there where some windows updates in the past days that screwed up some other stuff. it might have reinstalled OneDrive or related software to your PC
I'm having an issue where my render distance is set to 6000 but I'm only seeing about 1400. How could I fix this?
server settings overwrite local settings
It happens in eden as well as singleplayer
Hey guys, I keep getting disconnected from an exile server after about 3-4 minutes of playing due to "Battleye Query Timeout", I have no idea what to do, I've deleted my battleye files to reinstall, I've reinstalled the game and the mods, and I've edited my firewall many times. Any ideas?
arma 3 has suddenly decided to no longer launch for me
i use linux + steam proton 5.13 for arma, when i try and use the arma unix launcher and press the start button, no arma iii logo pops up. whenever i try launching thru steam, it briefly says its running, then stops without any logo or game window popup
so im extremely fucked over rn, i was tasked with making an antistasi arma server by tonight for $, and ive never actually played arma or set up a single arma server, plus its being hosted on gameservers.net, which ive also never used before, and my current issue is making sure i have the mods loaded correctly, with them being in the addons folder and the keys having the file in the keys folder, if someone could try to help me troubleshoot for a bit id really appreciate it
When unloading from the Orca if in combat, the passengers will end up causing my helicopter to flip and kill me
dont promise something you cant deliver like that
Promise? Nah i never promised anything i work for someone and always get unreasonable demands, this is the next one
I never asked to do it and ive told him multiple timed i dont know how to set it up but he always pushes it on me
Im not that irresponsible
Refund the money and let someone who is knowledgeable do it.
Also next time ignore him if you told him you didnt know how and hes still pushing it on you constantly(presuming the work you agreed to is outside your skillset/agreement)
help me plz
cant help you since there is no question.
bugged how?
soz, dont know much about that.
....
@uncut trellis do you have any ideas for what could be causing my troubles? (scroll up a small amount for my post
nope

Hey guys, I have a couple problems right now, First of all My server is not showing up on arma direct connect I used host havoc as a dedicated, as well as in the command manager I believe it says there’s a couple wrong things and I honestly have no clue so if anyone could please help me get it set up that would be great, I allready used steam workshop to input all of the mod Id’s as well as putting the modpack in the command line manager in order. Please help.
Please PM me if y’all know how to help 🙂
@prime light I recommend uploading an rpt log to pastebin and then posting the link here, that way peeps can help you straight away

It'd be better if we can get the full rpt log so we can see the context and other info it provides @prime light
@grim tinsel Im going to be brutally honest, I have no clue what that is
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/arma.RPT @prime light
Yeap still struggling
With it
@grim tinsel if your free later on call on discord maybe? I still don’t understand why it’s not working I have Put all the mods into the steam workshop as well as command line manager and uploaded a mission file to host havoc, I thought that was all I had to do and of course lastly start the server 🙂
If you provide the rpt log we can try to help you 👀 , take a look at that page and then find the latest rpt log and upload it to pastebin
Is that the latest one or?
and then that is what I am getting on my web console on host havoc
Did I do it correctly?

¯_(ツ)_/¯
all non-issues...
it depends on what you define as an issue.
in that case, a lot of stuff won't play well together without the compat mods loaded
hmm
I'm just surprised to see a client log (which tries to start a server?) and an incomplete server log
like the server isn't even fully started yet
the biggest issue here seems to be that you @prime light are trying to build a rocket without finishing the basic course of aerodynamics...
- deactivate all mods on the server, run a vanilla mission on it
- unload all mods on your local PC, connect to the server (to verify it is reachable)
the server has them already
autoSelectMission = false;
class Missions {};
in server.cfg should launch the the server without a mission set. as admin you then can select a mission on the server
ok
but what happens if when I try to direct connect and it does not show up? @wise barn
you can not connect to a server that isn't fully up an running.
you need to make sure that the server is running
Ok the server is up
@wise barn and I am able to connect and chose a vanilla mission
i uninstalled all mods from the host havoc and am going to start fresh with mod and mission file installation would you have and recommendations?
small steps, buddy. smaaaaaal steps...
now prepare your server.cfg that it auto loads one specific mission.
get used to the configurating shizzle first before trying to launch a massive modded server.
your backend needs to run smoothly and you need to learn how to troubleshoot first
exactly what i was talking about
that's the basic server knowledge you ned to learn first
since it's a game hoster that you use, you should have access to this file via FTP
no idea what that is...
sidenote: you don't need to tag me every time 😉
========================
[+] Your FTP login details:
Host and Port: 66.23.200.231:8826

thats what it said
my b
well, time to download FileZilla and connect via FTP as written in that message.
it wouldn't hurt to also read the entries of that "knowledge base"
read the knowledge base stuff first
Note: We have a guide for setting up FTP in our knowledgebase.
🤔
thats what shows up when i look up setting up ftp
and when I look up "FTP" this shows up https://gyazo.com/7815adb48296e050183454cafc9a062b
should i download filezilla now?
i guess so. what does the article say?
to download it lol
so with file zilla do i transfer all of the mod files to the server?
idk, what does the article say?
and as i said, small steps
don't think about mods until you understand the server basics
it says to put ip in file zilla
and connect
the start dragging and dropping files into the server
did you connect to the FTP yet?
doing it currently
its connecting currently
its saying it timed out and cannot connect
time for trouble shooting
you seem to not have the correct details entered to filezilla
now it's on you to figure out what connection details you need
it says port and ip
is the IP correct, is the password correct
which i did
ill double check
im 100% sure i typed the correct pass
and its still not working
time to check the knowledge base again for information on how to connect to host havoc. if you can't find a solution there, contact support
ok
hi guys! i have the single most frustrating thing ever
My mic stops working in game. it'll be fine for 30 minutes, an hour, two hours... who knows. but then people wont be able to hear me ingame all of a sudden. TS works, it's not the mic itself - people can see my mouth move but they dont hear me anymore. can ANYONE save my sanity?
since you use TS I assume you also use TFAR or ACRE
which means that it's not Arma related, but either the mod or TS
is your microphone the default input in Windows?
and it's not changing while you're playing the game?
yes and no it isn't. disabled all other inputs
Could also be by software, broken drivers, incorrect settings, etc.
Because I'm sure the problem is solved when you restart the game
sometimes yes. the thing is though, this only occurs in arma
Welcome to Arma...
Which uses the default audio devices from Windows. However if something happens with the connection between the game and the hardware (eg. driver error), Arma will ditch the connection and won't try to reconnect.
So I guess you can try to update your audio drivers, and make sure there is no hardware problem with your microphone (eg. bad connection, broken cable, etc.)
ahhh it might be the disconnects - my usb cable has been a bit dodgy...
Arghhhh
I’m having the issue again after contacting support and following all steps
@wise barn
wow... that is just stupid...
the log file has a line limit, so having that being cut of is no problem at all
I know it makes no sense
Sounds like the USB /Windows 10 issue.
Ive got a problem with xbox 360 controller - pulling left stick down doesnt make the collective in heli in advanced flight mode go all the way down, only about half the way down
would upload a pic but i cant
any ideas on how to fix that
?
nevermind, fixed it
Has anyone had a bug where your graphics settings reset themselves after changing? I keep setting my Textures to Very High and they'll revert (quality-wise) back to Low without the setting actually changing. It'll still say they're set to Very High but the quality will revert back to Low after five seconds of changing it.
Could be gpu trouble
Anyone who knows how to fix "You were kicked off the game. (BattlEye: Query Timeout)"?
Hello there, been getting black screen crashes during gameplay, especially when streaming. Ive update all drivers for ARMA and OBS, but still having issues. Looking at the log, i have a lot of "Overflow" entries. Any help is appreciated.

DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED
Yep something is making the DXGI device get disconnected
try keeping an eye on the temps of your hardware while playing for abit I guess
@fringe salmon Seems like a basic error, Just click "ok" it's rather a notification
It shouldn't impact your gameplay.
Some mod is breaking the game.
@fallen hound there is no basic error that you should ignore. That's just plain stupid as errors will impact game performance and cause issues down the road.
I've had the same error with the mod, I clicked ok and it did not impact my game whatsoever
You do you then. 
Yeah, this error gave me a black screen twice and kicked me out of the game, it's not something that I'm able to ignore lol
Since about a week ago, probably connected to updating drivers Arma causes GPU Memory exhaustion which crashes always crashes all or some gpu-accelerated programms. Anyone having this issue or may I have to look into hardware issues ? (Any other game runs fine tho)
Any clever networking/router guys in here ?
🙂
My isp changed. And suddenly my server is not visible in arma browser ( its a local server) connects fine with lan but its not getting through to the public. Nothing has been changed in the router. the ports are also opened and forwarded to the pc´s ip.
I can catch it from https://app.infistar.vision
If you got a Dual Stack lite connection (IPv4 over IPv6 )to the internet then I suggest you find another ISP. In this case you probably don't have an IPv4 address resolvable on the internet. And Arma 3 can't handle IPv6 addresses.
Is there anyway I can check that ?
also I can catch it from https://app.infistar.vision/
Ask you ISP. Or look in the router and search for the WAN IPv4 address. If the following doesn't show an IPv4 address than that is probably why: https://whatismyipaddress.com/ds-check
Ok, then that is not the issue.
the server name is
Porkz Crazy bacon controlled AI with gunz
can you find it in server list ?
I'll try
thx
Does the server computer have a fixed private IP address?
Or automatically assigned by the router?
my isp gave me a static ip. and the server has a fixed local ip 192.168.0.108
So the portforwarding goes to 192.168.0.108
2302-2305 and also 64739-64745
expand it to include 2306
i can ping them with portforward checker tool and they are open on the server
I used to use 64739
UDP (TCP doesn't mater for 2302-2306)
{"response":{"success":true,"servers":[{"addr":"217.71.4.175:2303","gmsindex":65534,"appid":107410,"gamedir":"Arma3","region":-1,"secure":false,"lan":false,"gameport":2302,"specport":0}]}}
2306 is for Battleye, not strictly neccesary.
Sounds like Steam connected to the server.
but I cannot find it from my gaming pc 🙂
Bingo!
could you see it in arma browser ?
god dammit...
He managed to find his server via direct connect on the private address. But no go on the public router address.
He did some performance tweaks on his game PC but not tested in combination with Arma 3.
@finite pollen Thanks in reverse for that Steampowered link. I was looking for such to test if servers connect to Steam. Used it before, but couldn't find it since.
hello I have a problem with r con, my BEServer file activates well but when I try to connect it does not work my ports are open but nothing I tested with the port 2307 2305 2309 and nothing anyone can please help ??
hello i have a problem, im trying to start arma 3 but it keeps giving me an error that the DLL is not found, i have tried re installing and nothing pls help
So when I press play on arma 3 I get:

I have checked Steam game files cache and that didn't find any problem's but when I press play I still get this error.
Could someone help me connect my Task Force Radio arrowhead mod into teamspeak ive several videos but i think its an internal error
@wise barn Never got to thank you for all your help, Just wanted to say thanks I got my server up and running, Turned out some of the file names were too large and just had to edit the names and it all ran very smoothly!
@Avi#9257
reinstall vcredist_x64 for 2013
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4032938/update-for-visual-c-2013-redistributable-package
meh... looks like he didn't want help after all
@prime light
np, i do what i can
@dull wagon
see #channel_invites_list for the TFAR discord
@fringe salmon
verify game files via steam
@wise barn I have done that.
I tried deleting all arma 3 file's and reinstalling them and that didn't work either.
hmm...
you could also try to reinstall vcredist_x64 for 2013
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4032938/update-for-visual-c-2013-redistributable-package
but i would be surprised if id helps
I'll try and see.
Weird problem folks. I fly with a x-56 hotas. Lately I've had issues with it and just realized that if my computer is set to my headsets I can't use my hotas in any servers unless it's the editor and if I have the sound through my speaker then I can control everything fine.
So confused as to what would cause this. I believe it has something to do with a conflict with steam as I enabled a gamepad. If anyone has any ideas on what I can do please @ me so I see your message
Make sure mod is loaded. Go to your workshop folder in your Arma 3 directory, inside TFR folder double click the file there to install.
In TS3 settings, activate the Task Force Radio checkbox (can’t remember exactly where but it’s in a drop down menu). Doing this from memory, hope t helps.
And I’m assuming you got TFR from steam.
Anyone use gtx gaming for server hosts? Im trying to update a few mods that have .dll files and they dont allow dlls to be uploaded via ftp but their steam workshop tool is not working atm. Any tips?
so I’m trying to download some mods here and I have my mod folder store in my HDD (symbolic link)
So when I try to download my mods it ends up saying that I don’t have enough disk space??
And no, it’s not because I literally don’t have enough I have 1.26tbs left of space
Do you have the space on the drive that steam is installed on? They go in a Downloads folder in the steam directory before they go in the workshop folder
If not, you need to symlink the downloads folder too
Nevermind I think I fixed it.
But new problem, all of the workshop mods are showing as corrupt now.
It’s only the arma Holic mods that aren’t showing as corrupt
I really don’t wanna re install all of them since thats a pain in the ass
this was solved
Ok Nevermind, the disk problem isn’t solved.
I think steam is transferring the mods from the HDD to the SDD which means
No disk space
Can someone explain why this is happening?
I keep crashing the error code is 0x0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION PLEEEEEASSSEEE HELP!!!
please re-read my message. specially the part about "... as much information as possible". thanks
Ok when I hit the play button on the main screen it loads to the Arma lll title screen then crashes with a error code of 0x0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION "Prompt says "Launcher has detected that Arma 3 was closed unsusually. If you encounter an error that you cannot solve by yourself, please report it to our feedback Tracker, or contact our support team. I unloaded any Mods i had to see if that was the issue and same result. I also tried to unistall and reinstall with no positive outcome
did you try feedback tracker report yet?
if you provide the files I need (I think theres a link explaining what to do) then I can tell you why it crashes, probably
Yes i did the tracker report a couple days ago and nothing so far...what files will you need?
where you able to play before?
yea a few monrhs ago, updated everything, drivers etc
the report file that the error message tells you to create with a button for it
what drivers did you update?
I don't check tracker regularly :u
also update:
- mainboard drivers
- lan drivers
- onboard audio drivers
- if you have, audio gear drivers
after that, reinstall vcredist for 2013
ok i will try these options, do you still want the files?
@quaint jewel might will
might would
Do i DM you or here?
well the FT ticket without the report is absolutely useless
so I hope your ticket that you already created has the report file attached
where do i find that?
If you manage to fix it yourself, I prefer not to spend my time on that
the error message from the launcher tells you to create it
the one who's text you quoted above
All drivers are up to date
did you reinstall vcredist for 2013?
yea same thing
no clue then. wait for dedmen
Did you install the game while running steam as administrator and now trying to start the game with admin permissions?
No i can try thanks
which is your FT ticket, there are a couple crashes in the last few days
I dont even know what that is my man, sorry very new to this stuff
FT - Feedback Tracker
bohemia interactive (arma 3) has a feedback tracker (short FT)
The ticket you created
Only thing i have is ArmaReport_Log
You said here, that you made the report on the tracker
for some reason I still respawn on my death spot even though I changed spawn to custom position and have a respawn module with respawn_west
i have also tried to place respawn position with zuse but still nothing happens
Nvm
Hello. Every time I go to start up ARMA3 through steam it goes to loading for 2 seconds and then stops. Sometimes steam also crashes. I have recently re-installed ARMA3 as well. I would really appreciate some help. Please @ me if/when you answer. Thankyou.
I'm trying to repackage a mod so our unit can use it on our server as an accepted clientside, however even after signing it and adding the key to the keys folder it's still kicking me from the server...
When i check via Signature Check on Arma 3 Tools the key returns no errors
"repacking a mod" 🤦♂️
Better read the Steam Workshop EULA before continuing that...
Why would he read the workshop EULA if he's not using the workshop?
Yeah, repacking a mod because it doesn't include a server key
Just keep in mind you can't upload it to steam workshop, is what Grez is trying to say
gotcha
It is marked as unlisted, however if its that much of a problem i'll take it off
that being said, I'd still like to know what i've done wrong with signing it for future reference9
I'm short; you're only allowed to upload content which you own.
It violates the steam subscriber agreement if you upload stuff thats not yours
And our #rules too
down it'll go ¯_(ツ)_/¯
That being said, If it is possible to provide any insight on why a signed pbo could be rejected by the dedicated server
It'd be appreciated
Missing key on the server, different keys for client/server, generated keys don't match pbo's
Depends on the exact error
Well its giving me the generic "Isn't accepted by this server" error
I've re-created the key 3 seperate times
and resigned it 3 seperate times
In that case the key isn't available on the server
That's what's causing me to mash my head into the wall
it's definitely in the keys folder & its definitely the correct one
And you're also using the same mod on the client? And not the original one (without keys)?
If anybody knows about errors with mikero's/maverick tools please dm me i'm having a error of Config : some input after EndOfFile after the encryption is done but i've double checked with PBO Project and everything is good. Without encryption everything works fine no errors
screenshot of the full error message please. upload it to imgur and post the link here
when you click ok the game crashes
heres the error in the RPT
20:06:44 Application terminated intentionally
ErrorMessage: Config : some input after EndOfFile.```
depends on the problem
ight
well
Im using Host Havoc
trying to start up my own serve r
Well as it turns out, I keep getting kicked from my own server because I am launching the game through Arma3Sync
I believe I know what is happening
but I do not know how to mitigate the problem
hey, I require some assistance. Whenever I tap the bind to zoom out, such as double tapping the minus (-) button on my numpad, a box with options pop up at the top left of my screen with the "formation line, teams, support" etc
what bind must I change to prevent it from doing that? I'm in the gunner seat of a heli in the gunner cam, I'd like to change magnification levels but tapping the zoom out button puts me in third person and bring up the menu mentioned above
my third person bind and zoom out bind are not the same
@proud wagon Review the RPT and see what the reason you get kicked is and go from there - or at least provide us with the relevant lines
@limber oasis My keybinds aren't standard so I am not sure exactly which one but it'll be under Command and it's probably either of the top two
@open lava I've checked under command already, nothing
so like arma 3 workshop content is continuously downloading and when i hit pause it pauses for a second then it instantly force downloads its self and i cant pause it unless i shut steam down completely and when i open it back up the download starts again so can someone please hlep me
I only have that when Arma itself is open, then it doesnt let me pause the download
Otherwise I can pause fine
Hi, I saw a vew servers that we managed to kick all the people who are not from their country with a message like "You are not English banned" I would like to know what to do if someone knows
or he forbade new armed players to join their server
Were they official BI servers?
If so, then you can provide the details to Dwarden. ( or so it is said in #arma3_official_servers recently)
My PBOs are out of date apparently how do i fix?
who knows... what mod is it?
delete the PBOs that are apparently out of date and then repair the mod
where are the PBOs?
in your launcher, go to the RHS mod. click on it and some kind of drop down appears. there you'll find how to open it in the explorer
web pages are rarely used to manipulate your local folders
so folder
sounds correct yes
what am i looking for?
open folder in windows explorer
find the outdated PBOs
delete them
repair the mod
What are the PBOs called? and are the inside the mod folder
might need to delete all of them and let it repair them again
all my mods?
i deleted RHS and redownloaded and it's still the same maybe i got a mod that's clashin
Hey guys... I'm having trouble with keybinds. NUM Enter is supposed to switch to 3rd person, but doesn't work anymore (it worked fine yesterday). I went into options to add a side mouse button to toggle 3rd person and it won't work either. Instead it zoomz. I looked online and saw that this was a known issue but none of the solutions are working for me. Learning Arma is hard enough, but this is making it even harder. Is there a fix for this?
p.s. I'm playing vanilla with no mods.
Check your difficulties settings. If you're in Multiplayer, no luck though
I'm just going through the basic campaign missions.
Then do what I said
omg something is jacked up.... now my mouse won't let me look left/right. Is there a way to just reset everything? And where do I find difficulty settings?
Options > Game
er meh gerd... there it is in game options. TY man.... I was just about to uninstall... again.
... another question you can maybe help me with. I can't see my stamina bar on screen nor can I see the "paper doll" showing me what position I'm standing/crouching in. Is there a toggle somewhere that I've accidentaly turned off?
The same settings, yes
Awesome, ty. Not sure why/how those got turned off. I was so confused. I'm a victim of the built-in idiot proffing once again.
Hey, so i bought A2 2 weeks ago and it still ran on windows 10, wanted to continue but now windows is blocking the app and an admin would prevent it from starting. I enabled the admin acc via command prompt and set an exception for arma, checked the run as admin box under properties but that didn't help either. Is there anything i could do?
Thanks in advance!
Anybody?
Does anyone know why my game crashes everytime, if i just wanna play 1 scenario, it crashes, same on servers.
Well, what is error message?
0x0000005 status_access_violation
Try starting Steam as administrator and start the game from Steam
i did
The error means that Arma 3 is not allowed to access it's own files, so it's most likely a permissions problem
Or you have an AV blocking the game from accessing files
Make an exception to be sure anyway.
nop also not
Where did you deduce that from? Cuz none of the information provided says that.
Rather the opposite as user said his game launches fine.
Not enough details to figure out what's going wrong.
Are you launching the game via the Arma Launcher @next mesa ?
And when Arma crashes, the Arma Launcher shows you a message that Arma just crashed?
yep with the erroc code that you can see 0x0000005 status_access_violation
And that message also tells you to create a report and make a ticket on the feedback tracker?
That error code is useless. It doesn't say what's causing the problem at all.
It just says "Arma crashed"
What's needed is what the message tells you. Generate the report file, make a Feedback tracker ticket.
Send me the report file or ticket link and I'll look at it tomorrow.
You could also send the RPT file from the report here, and see if someone maybe sees something in there.
Also could help if you can provide more information about what exactly you did when it crashed.
Maybe it's a known issue like flying helicopters when using a USB headset
i have the file, i send you per dm
It's 10pm and I'm in my bed on my phone, so you'll have to wait till tomorrow before I can look at it
Guess you're german then cuz you wrote Bibliothek
oh damm
I come from the same
ok
Alternatively a good first thing to do is always to verify your game files in stram
I have a problem where when I try to play the campaign it says I deleted a bunch of stuff. And I have tried to do it with and without mods. I have a picture but it wont let me put it in
Anyone know how to fix it?
How long does it take for steam to perform first time step installation for the game? Mine has been stuck on it for 5 minutes without the bar filling up
when i try launching arma 3 via the arma 3 unix launcher, it opens a link in firefox to launch the game which is then to be opened in steam, which does not work
wait nvm
i just forgot to perform the first time setup first
so all my loadouts just disappeared anybody know how to restore them?
Scoping in the game is a nightmare for me all the sudden - When I right click mouse to scope, it sometimes stops working all together whether I be in or outside scope I'm stuck up to 5 secs ish before it works again.
Weird thing is that I can see it instead do the focus / zoom / lean in effect, like when you press and hold right mouse.
My mouse left and right clicks works flawlessly in Windows other wise.
I have no mods for ArmA at this time and no weird programs running in Windows.
Any ideas?
Could it be because I am a bit slower on the clicking? oO
Geez I think it is...
When I play normally, I guess my finger is a few ms slower with the release of the right click than it used to that causes this...
Because when I use my index finger in a "machine gun tab scoping" test, it's right on the money.
I guess I should consult the doctor instead then 
@lone lake are you playing on multiplayer or singleplayer
Singleplayer, Oldman.
hm
it's possibly your pc having a general lag,
go to sleep in old man, save the game, restart your game and try again
I tested it in other scenarios, and also on multiplayer servers such as KoTH
It's the same all over
hm. my suspicion might be that you're slower on the clicking or there's a technical issue with your mouse
Yeah I don't have another mouse to test with, and based on the tests I did, I am more likely to think it's just me getting older :S
probably lol
he said his gun had 40 | 1
40 rounds | 1 more mag @fallen hound
hang on i'm having a brain lag

I have 2 different dpi monitors and i'm having issue with resolution in fullscreen windowed
I have it on my higher res monitor but it's taking the resolution of my lower res monitor, so it doesn't take up the full screen
Looked online and can't find a fix
I've found a solution! On the arma 3 .exe, go to properties>compatibility>change high dpi settings, from there, check "Override high DPI scaling behavior"
Hey guys. I wanted to try some weapons out. While in Virtual arsenal i got this error now..."WARNING: ace requires ace_compat_rhs_saf3 (@compat_rhs_saf3) at version [3,13,5,57] (or higher). You have none." How do i solve this? I just bought the game yesterday. Thanks.
All mods are downloaded from the workshop. Not a single mod from the outside eg: Armaholic etc.
hi guys hoping someone can advise me if theres a fix for something
i have got the composition of an underground bunker from workshop and put it into my mission.
i have an addAction to enter the bunker (teleports you) and you can also exit the bunker (teleports back)
my problem however...
the AI i have had to disable path which im fine with but as soon as i teleport into the bunker every single unit goes nuts and starts shooting at the walls in my direction.
and yes its vanilla AI
any clues???
this bunker is kinda elevated off the ground
the AI shouldnt see people through prop walls right??
shouldnt but with such compositions the AI engine can go bonkers due to how the objects are used in ways they are not meant to be used
hmmm i just disabled dynamic simulation maybe that was making it hiccup? as the entrance if far far away.. the AI are not activated so we kinda teleport instantly could that be it?
dunno. could also be because its elevated the AI does not recognize its surroundings anymore
ill move it and give it a go
that fixed it @uncut trellis you bloody legend!!!!
i didnt know AI goes funny outside of map bounds
i put it there as it was very good on fps lol

Anyone have any trouble with "ghost markers"
So what I mean is, my old map, had markers I set up in eden. Just the standard position markings, objectives etc. Not modded markers or anything.
But I load up another mission file on my dedicated server, and the markers from the last map, are now on this new map, that has nothing to do with the previous map.
Anyone have any ideas?
--Update
The mission file was still in the recycle bin.........
Yes. A mission in the TRASH CAN
Overrides all other map markers AND respawns from any other map
Tried manually deleting the ace folders too and resubbing all ace files from their author page. Getting the exact error. "usf3, gref3, afrf3". these pbo files all obsolete it says. Anyone help pls.
I am getting ace pbo obsolete error for the aforementioned files.
those are RHS related files that are most likely NOT part of ACE
no it says ace compat followed by usf3
similarly
It says I require 3,13,5,57 my version of compat is like 3,13,455. This appears for some time at the right side bottom of the screen. both usf3 and gref3 has this issue.
interestingly i downloaded a file from armaholic now and it has the latest pbo file it. But in my workshop folder it has a different older version name... How is it possible?
How to replace the pbo file?
I have found out the problem...everything downloaded from the workshop has older version in it.
like 3.12.6.43.....everything downloaded from armaholic has latest version in it.3.13.5.57
How do i use the armaholic version
official RHS mods: https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=843770737
official ACE (and compat) mods: https://steamcommunity.com/id/acemod/myworkshopfiles/?appid=107410
and those are up-to-date with the latest versions
no...i downloaded just that ...every file is old in it
downloaded twice...
deleted all folders manually once
yeah i have the same page opened in my steam account. but in changelog after subscribing to these files theres a name like Tommy87
But in the armaholic version of the ace, it is different
How to clean install everything right from the scratch?
unsubscribe from the workshop to remove them completely
and subscribe again to add them / force update them
Already did once .....manually deleted the folders too.....Doing it again
I dont know what just happened...deleted all folders related to ace from the workshop folder...unsubbed everything and downloaded from the scratch....now it is updated. I did the same thing before and all i got was version.3.12.6.43
Now it is updated...like wth?
yayy tried it in-game in the virtual arsenal. Now the error is vanished. I still don't understand it. I downloaded the mod from their original page initially. How did it go wrong?
I don't have the answers at the moment.
found the answers. It is my fault. I had downloaded a non-active v3.12.6.43 version of CSF tommy's compatible files which were not activated. It somehow overrided the existing new ace files. I removed those two csf tommyone87's workshop compat mods (which were inactive the whole time) from the non-active list now and downloaded the workshop files from ace's official page again. It worked. Many Thanks @weary sky
These afrf3, usaf3, gref3 folders for compat files in the ACE optionals folder https://github.com/acemod/ACE3/tree/c8bb046d3182957654145d754a7672c2242690a0/optionals would suggest they are ACE files
We don't use that "3" naming convention for anything in RHS
Hey guys, I have a problem, I started up ARMA, and all my mods are gone, I'm still subscribed to them but It shows it needs to download them all, again, even though I have them all installed on my PC.
Hey guys not sure where to post this to ask a question... But If this is an okay place to ask I am curious which would be the best raid option for hosting a server? I know raid 0 is fast, raid 5 is faster, but write speeds are slow. Raid 10 is super fast read speeds double that of raid 5, but the write speeds are slower. Which do I want in a server fast read speeds or fast wrtie speeds? Should Also mention this is being setup in a SAN I do have a server living on a small raid 10 config currently.
use unraid
no raid why?
unraid is fast AND secure. better than raid.
i suggest you do some comparison / reading, it's quite interesting
Sure but raid 10 has double the read speed of non raid configs. Raid 10 also has drive fault if multiple people are accessing info wouldn't I want super fast read speeds if multiple people are accessing files?
Just curious wanting to talk it out.
unraid is ofc software based, but combines all benefits of the hardware raid systems. in addition to this, unraid is 100% hot swappable in case of a drive failure.
tbh, i can't explain the details of unraid (how it's done...), but i will use it for my next project since i had RAID failing on me prior
if you are familiar with linus tech tips, all his stuff is unraid by now
he has quite some videos on it also
what i know tho, in case of a drive failure, unraid can rebuild itself and repopulate the new and empty drive with all needed data
aside from the which raid conundrum, given a game server will spend most of it's life reading data off of disk when it loads mods and missions, the only time you would benefit from fast writes is when either installing or updating the game or mods.
Thank you I have done this correctly then!
np 🙂
Hey guys, I have a problem, I started up ARMA, and all my mods are gone, I'm still subscribed to them but It shows it needs to download them all, again, even though I have them all installed on my PC.
Hickup sure, but it redownloads it, I have like 80 GBs worth of mods, and can't another 80 gb to my HDD
Hm, I'll see, but when it tries to 'overwrite' it says 'not enough disc space
i seem to remember that there are some "fixes" around that involve some cache files... dunno. you'd need to google it
Right, I'll try
I cant invite people to servers I host on Arma 3. I keep getting information about it being a closed port issue, but are there any alternatives to fixing this error, since I've tried opening the required ports? (In case you need more info, if I steam invite someone, they get an error saying server is not responding.)
So. I've re-done the mods as they were in a html file, It was fine a while ago, but then I unsubscribed from all of the mods and installed them again, then the error happenned. Any ideas? @quaint jewel
I did @wise barn. I went to advanced settings and added a new input or whatever.
did it work before?
Nah, didn't change a thing.
then make sure you have an IPv4 connection
disregard
what is the exact message you get?
For steam invite?
I keep getting information about it being a closed port issue
Oh, I didn't get a message. I've looked at multiple forums about the issue, people usually say you have to add a new inbound rule for arma 3, or paste a certain thing into your router, in which I have no idea how to do.
And they (forums) say ports are usually closed/blocked.
Ouch
Well, maybe you do not know now. But if you want to get it fixed I suggest you learn how to open ports/ port forward. Every router brand/model has it's own spin on things. So search around on google to what applies to your kind.
So. About the mod, I've tried re-downloading the mods, deleting them from my addons profile yet it still misses a file. @quaint jewel Think you can help?
...why u slanting me.
sire I'm just a poor boy needing help...
Because it's 2AM on a sunday
why are you still online then
what stupid question is this?
there are many stupid questions, audio
and this is just another one.
also dedmen..i'm concerned about your steam groups 🤔
What even is this file..
https://i.imgur.com/HR1PLun.png
UI macros?
For some reason people cannot connect to my lan server like before. We use Hamachi like everyone Im assuming, and it use to work great, but now we cant even see each others servers. We looked in hamachi and we kept getting a tunnel error with a little yellow triangle next to it. Any solutions?
Try pinging each other (from both ends) and see what works. It's likely an Hamachi or personal network issue.
So i downloaded ACE while doing the Blackfoot Down mission, restarted my game and stuff after saving, and now i have no ability to see any kind of action menu. If I disable ACE, then i can't resume the mission.
So. For my issue I validated my files and it's working all good now.
having a problem loading servers, I've tried the regedit tip and everything but servers are no longer showing in arma3
File_ace_medical_menu.pbo is outdated. I cant get rid of these error can any1 help me me here (
go to your mod folder location and delete all ace_medical_*.pbo files.
then repair the mod via the launcher
How can I find my mod folder ?
- open launcher
- go to "Mods" tab
- navigate to "ace" mod
- click on it (dropdown)
- click the 3 dots "..." -> open folder in windows explorer
- go to "addons" subfolder
- delete all
ace_medical_*.pbofiles - go back to the launcher
- click the 3 dots again -> repair
So everything that has medical Ace deleted correct
yes
So I did what you told me to and I'm still in the hole but this time I got. gui.pbo instead of menu
well... unsubscribe, delete all left over files and resubscribe
So delete all the files
yes
yes, for now
np
are you playing a (single player) mission my any chance?
the mission might be referring to outdated versions
So wht does the mean
Lol sorry
Because I saved the older ace
My ai arnt responding to the updated ace mod ?
might be the case
What was your case
i never had this case
your mission might be looking for an ace version that is too old
Oo I thought u may had a different solution
nah... just observing for quite some time 😉
Observing? So does theses mean I have to re create a mission everytime a mod want to do these lol
So do this*
ace did a complete rewrite of it's medical system quite some time ago, and many had the medical menu issue. the reason for this is, that steam doesn't delete obsolete files when updating a mod. so the old menu pbo got loaded with ace even that it wasn't needed anymore and caused issues. on the same, old missions who where using the menu where also complaining that this pbo is not there anymore when the mod was downloaded after the medical rewrite
what you can do is to open your mission.sqm and look for an entry in the addons[]= array that refers to a medical menu
then delete it
what editor do you use for text based files?
notepad++ or sublime?
any other?
(i'm not talking about ms word or open office writer tho 😉 )
Note pad
download notepad++
Ok? For
Ok? For
to edit arma related text / code / script files
like the mission.sqm
it's also highly recommended to have file extensions active in windows
https://sawtoothsoftware.com/resources/knowledge-base/general-issues/how-to-show-file-name-extensions-in-windows-explorer
I do not see the file name extensions when I look at my files in Windows Explorer. How do I turn this on?
This is behind me lol
no worries. everyone had to start there at some point 😄
So what does this do for me what's wrong with the notepad that I have now
n++ is way smoother to work with.
better for code
you'll see the difference right from the start
Is this going to help with my o p s
we will see
That are not working right now cuz I don't understand how my other two Ops work
And I'm using the same mod but it works just fine
well, we need to figure out why you get the ace medical menu error first
so download n++, activate file extensions in windows, go to your mission folder in ..\documents\arma\missions\ and open the mission.sqm that generates the error in n++
then look for the line that has addons[]=
it should be in the first few lines
this is called an "array"
look for an entry that has something to do with ace and the medical menu
which 1 do i dl
Ok I installed iy
It
Explain this to me though how come im Able to play two out of four of the missions I created with the same mod
i don't understand
Cuz what it seems like what I may have to do is just recreate it over again
Which I don't want to do but if that's what I have to do they should be it
I just don't understand how half my missions work in the other half doesn't using the same mod
Explain this to me though how come im Able to play two out of four of the missions I created with the same mod
it is possible that you have loaded another version of ACE when doing stuff to your mission that now throws an error. theaddons[]=array in the mission.sqm gets populated automatically with the mods you have loaded at that time
same goes for savegames of scenarios btw
Okay how can I find the mission.sqm
have you activated the file extensions in windows explorer already?
I do not see the file name extensions when I look at my files in Windows Explorer. How do I turn this on?
My mission is pop up with percentages next to them no sir how do I do that
see latest link
once done, you go to ..\documents\Arma 3\missions and open the folder of your mission. it's folder looks like MISSIONNAME.TERRAIN
once found, open the mission.sqm in n++
you should see something similar to this (i use another editor tho )
My missions are saved under MP missions
I seen everything that you are talkin about my missions are not saved in those folders
And I do not understand how this Plus plus works
then go to MPmissions
And I do not understand how this Plus plus works
it's a text editor that just has more functions than the common windows wannabe editor 😄
My regular notepad still appears
rightclick on file -> open with
then select n++
or open n++ and load the file from within
rightclick -> open with -> more options / apps
if still not in the list, scroll to the bottom and select "search on PC" (or similar), then navigate to the n++ exe
(my native language is not english, so stuff may be called differently)
i'm AFK for about 30min. getting something to eat
Ok
any luck?
No sir
I tried making a new mission I cant keep play on this map
Anymore like wtf
i'm sorry. but the longer you "work" with arma, the more you get arma'd. but also get more calm about issues like this 😄
The thing is I don't know what to do nor do I understand what's going on
Two out of four of my missions work
I even tried making it over from scratch it won't let me play
So I'm just really confused I don't even know how to get this plus plus to work but yet I downloaded something
that's what we call "getting arma'd" around here... happens quite often actually.
something works 100 times, but the 101th time it screws you over. and nobody has an idea why
you get used to it
once you are deep enough in the rabbit hole, you get almost immune
Sucks but understandable
I'm just trying to put two and two together that's all like why two work in the other two doesn't using the same exact mod
2+2 doesn't always equal to 4 in arma.
as i said, my closest bet would be, that an outdated version of ACE found its way to the mission.sqm
although knowing how things works, especially within mission.sqm and the error logs, will at least help you to understand what is happening (even when it's unknown why).
you said it's in your MPmissions folder
this folder is in the arma 3 root folder iirc
\Programs\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\MPmissions
stuff you're editing can be found in
C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Documents\Arma 3\mpmissions
or C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\<ARMANAME>\mpmissions
orly?
"oh, really?"
or /missions/ if you saved it as a SP mission
open mission.sqm with a code editor (Notepad++, VSCode, whatever)
and follow the instructions which audiocustoms already mentioned before
Open Mission sqm what is that I do not see that the only thing I see is my missions
can you post a screenshot to imgur please, then share the link here
Imgur ?
it's an image hoster. you can use any other if you like
I never heard of it image holster sorry
I just tried to DM you but I can't understand why you have everybody blocked
security reasons...
because we don't do personal support 🤣
and that
I can understand why you have everybody blocked like I said LOL
it's a website where you can upload screenshots or pictures in general (imgur)
Lol this to much just 4 a pic
I'm not even a computer guy like tht I just like to play games
then you shouldn't have started making missions 😄
Yea
no offense tho
Or brought this game
Two out of four missions work using the same mod that's breaking my brain and hat
Half
well, playing this game with mods an friends doesn't take much computer knowledge, just diving into mission making and modding
Are we not talking about a mod called Ace but you saying that is not complicated
Or you're saying using mods to create missions is the brainer
no. what i mean is, downloading and playing missions with mods is not complicated. the tricky part starts when you want to edit something, or create it from the ground up
this often if not mostly requires a deeper understanding of PC / code / script than one usually needs on a daily basis
Got you I understand this is definitely beyond my knowledge why I can't use the same Ace and it decides who work when it wants to
I can
That is definitely Somme computer genius level of understanding
as i told you, it doesn't take much to "screw up". it takes more to fix it.
what i suspect what happened to you:
you where loading an old version of ACE (by accident / without realizing) when you edited that mission. once you saved it, the requirements for the old version got saved to your mission.
Okay so when I decided to remake my mission from scratch I still was not able to walk around with a single player
This is a non existing file we're talkin about but having the same problem
well, the mission.sqm does exist. it is created as soon as you save your mission in the editor. it's just unknown at this point where exactly it is located.
I still was not able to walk around with a single player
what do you mean by that?
what does Sqm mean
sqm is the file extension of mission files. it is like any other file ending / extension that indicates what softer must be used to open, edit, display ect. it.
like JPG and PNG tells the computer it's an image
or EXE and BAT is an executable file
TXT, DOC and RTF are text documents
SQM is an arma mission file
Can you tell me how to find it or no
did you save it in mpmissions location?
So what exactly do I do at this point I know you're watching this show but get at me as soon as possible please lol
Yes
My mission still comes in my regular notepad though
then you found it in ..\documents\arma 3\mpmissions\?
Yes exactly now what do I need to do to get rid of this cancer
launch n++
How do I launch it
My note plus plus a saying web navigation that's the icon
you might have messed up n++
anyway, lets move on:
open it in any editor
then look out for the line that says addons[]=
should be fairly at the top
copy everything from that and post it here please
{
"A3_Characters_F",
...
...
...
};```
What's tht
then look out for the line that says addons[]=
should be fairly at the top
copy everything from that and post it here please
So what you posted in here that's what I'm supposed to see
in the mission.sqm, yes
it's a part of it
the code i posted resembles what it could look like
not the dots tho
it just means that there might be a lot more in that array
What I'm looking at right now looks like the dam Matrix
