#

@wise barn do you know anything about usb mics problems?

wise barn
#

it depends. what's the issue?

severe badger
#

mic works everywhere, except arma=)

wise barn
#

dedicated USB mic, or part of a headset?

severe badger
#

part, ROG Centurion

wise barn
#

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

severe badger
#

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

wise barn
#

did you at some point change the USB port?

severe badger
#

nope, 100% sure

wise barn
#

try switching

severe badger
#

hmmm,sec

wise barn
#

arma must not be running ofc

severe badger
#

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

wise barn
#

idk then

severe badger
#

thx 4 your help

#

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!!

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?

night plinth
#

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?

wise barn
#

verify installation data

#

files might be corrupted

#

I got an ad for the Helicopter DLC but I already have the DLC

pine kite
#

Are you sure it is enabled in the properties of Arma 3 in your library?

#

Restart Steam if you bought it just before.

light night
#

Hey, i have problem on my server, if i die i respawn on spectator mode and medic can revive me because i dispawn

pine kite
#

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

fallow swan
#

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

wraith schooner
#

I waited one day and my patch was working fine on everything

fringe salmon
#

@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"

vestal patrol
#

@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

quaint jewel
#

does your unit show in Arma launcher?

vestal patrol
#

yes

quaint jewel
#

does your emblem show ingame when you click on the profile icon on top right of main menu

vestal patrol
#

it shows in the launcher, and in the main menu

#

yes

#

but it does not show when i am playing

quaint jewel
#

did you try singleplayer, I don't know if it would show there

vestal patrol
#

it does not show on uniform or vehicles

quaint jewel
#

in multiplayer it depends on the server, the server needs to download your image and send it to other players

vestal patrol
#

i have only tried mutliplayer

#

oh

quaint jewel
#

also doesn't work on all uniforms I think.

vestal patrol
#

then how do i make the server display it?

quaint jewel
#

if it works for you in main menu, its probably fine

#

if it doesn't show on server, probably something wrong with the server

vestal patrol
#

but other units' emblems display in the server

#

not mine

uncut trellis
#

very new unit?

vestal patrol
#

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

quaint jewel
#

does it not work for a while, or just today?

#

it bugs out sometimes

fallow swan
#

@vestal patrol did you get in to the vehicle? 🤔

vestal patrol
#

yes

#

@fallow swan

fallow swan
#

tried different vehicles?

vestal patrol
#

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

fallow swan
#

read the wiki again on the emblem creation

vestal patrol
#

wait

#

you mean this?

#

@fallow swan

fallow swan
#

yes

#

make sure you did the picture correctly

#

format specially

vestal patrol
#

i dont understand anything that page says

#

@fallow swan

fallow swan

sorry then

Are there any known reasons why squad xml should not work on a web host with its own domain and https security?

quaint jewel
#

with version 2.00, no not anymore

spice spear
#

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.. 😦

quaint jewel
#

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?

spice spear
#

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 ?

quaint jewel
#

arma logfile

spice spear
#

Where can I find him, please?

quaint jewel
#

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

spice spear
#

Ok I'll test it on localhost now and send it

quaint jewel
#

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

Yes, thank you very much for your willingness. I'll try to reset the game and hope it works

weary sky
#

@hoary jetty check your ACE settings, perhaps you are required to be a medic or need to holster your weapon

hoary jetty
#

I reinstalled it tho

#

That resets the settings

weary sky
#

no, because those settings are stored in your user profile, not in the mod

hoary jetty
#

I’m trying it

#

How do u holster again?

weary sky
#

press 0 (zero)

#

and is AI Medical enabled? otherwise you can't use ACE on AI

hoary jetty
#

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?

desert isle
#

Often set on the server, nothing you can do.

steady hawk
#

It's singleplayer right?

desert isle
#

It might be set in the mission.

steady hawk
#

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
indigo jolt
#

Is there a way I can force access to the debug menu? I don't have access

steady hawk
indigo jolt
#

Alright I'll check this out. Thanks!

indigo jolt
#

it worked! thanks!

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

cloud geyser
#

0xc0000005 -status access violation

weary sky
#

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.

hoary jetty
#

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

slow moat
#

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

desert isle
#

Check your key binds

slow moat
#

done

desert isle
#

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

slow moat
#

Sorry shoulda mentioned this but the issue is with Vanilla TFAR works perfectly

desert isle
#

Yes, should always mention what you've tried, what worked previously ;)

Create a new user profile and test.

slow moat
#

that didnt seem the work either. The marker comes up that shows i am pushing it but they cant hear me

Not a default Arma issue. Ask the creator of the mod you're using.

light night
#

The mod creator is tonic and he don't respond after 72 hours...

weary sky
#

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

light night
#

@weary sky Okay thank, where can I find help for the mods?

quaint jewel
#

Find some Arma Life forum/discord

#

they'll probably know that stuff

#

Anyone having a problem starting Arma I keep getting a Cloud issue? please @ me will be playing another game

grim tinsel
#

Cloud issue?

wise barn
#

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

proper jasper
#

I have tried some to most solutions still no effect I have even tried reinstalling Arma and nothing has worked

#

@wise barn

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

proper jasper
#

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

wise barn
#

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?

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

pearl kite
#

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

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

desert isle

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)

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 🙂

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

im going to try my best

@grim tinsel I think i may have done it just possibly

all non-issues...

wise barn
#

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

prime light
#

hmm

weary sky
#

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

wise barn
#

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)
prime light
#

ok

#

where can i get a vanilla mission from?

wise barn
#

the server has them already

prime light
#

ok

#

also

#

i submitted a support ticket on host havoc

#

and i was sent this link

wise barn
#
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

prime light
#

ok

#

but what happens if when I try to direct connect and it does not show up? @wise barn

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

prime light
#

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?

wise barn
#

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

prime light
#

ok

#

what is server cfg

wise barn
#

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

prime light
#

i have something called display ftp info

#

@wise barn

wise barn
#

no idea what that is...

good

#

that'S a start

prime light
#

should i download filezilla now?

wise barn
#

i guess so. what does the article say?

prime light
#

to download it lol

#

so with file zilla do i transfer all of the mod files to the server?

wise barn
#

idk, what does the article say?

#

and as i said, small steps

#

don't think about mods until you understand the server basics

prime light

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

wise barn

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

prime light
#

it says port and ip

wise barn
#

is the IP correct, is the password correct

prime light
#

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

delicate mulch
#

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?

weary sky
#

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

delicate mulch
#

neither

#

vanilla game

weary sky
#

is your microphone the default input in Windows?
and it's not changing while you're playing the game?

delicate mulch
#

yes and no it isn't. disabled all other inputs

weary sky
#

Could also be by software, broken drivers, incorrect settings, etc.
Because I'm sure the problem is solved when you restart the game

delicate mulch
#

sometimes yes. the thing is though, this only occurs in arma

weary sky
#

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.)

delicate mulch
#

ahhh it might be the disconnects - my usb cable has been a bit dodgy...

prime light
#

Arghhhh

#

I’m having the issue again after contacting support and following all steps

#

@wise barn

prime light
#

thats what I was told

weary sky
#

wow... that is just stupid...

#

the log file has a line limit, so having that being cut of is no problem at all

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.

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
blobdoggoshruggoogly 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

bitter lark
#

ill look into clock speeds, that might be the answer

#

thank you for your help o/

fallen hound
#

@fringe salmon Seems like a basic error, Just click "ok" it's rather a notification

#

It shouldn't impact your gameplay.

uncut trellis
#

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.

fallen hound
#

I've had the same error with the mod, I clicked ok and it did not impact my game whatsoever

uncut trellis
#

You do you then. blobdoggoshruggoogly

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)

finite pollen
#

Any clever networking/router guys in here ?

pine kite
#

Enough to get my server going.

#

Well, and IT support by profession.

finite pollen
#

🙂

#

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.

pine kite
#

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.

finite pollen
#

Is there anyway I can check that ?

pine kite
finite pollen
#

returns this :

#

IPv4: 217.71.4.175
IPv6: Not detected

pine kite
#

Ok, then that is not the issue.

finite pollen
#

the server name is

#

Porkz Crazy bacon controlled AI with gunz

#

can you find it in server list ?

pine kite
#

I'll try

finite pollen
#

thx

pine kite
#

Does the server computer have a fixed private IP address?

#

Or automatically assigned by the router?

finite pollen
#

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

pine kite
#

Ok, which ports?

#

Also, are those ports opened in the server firewall?

finite pollen
#

2302-2305 and also 64739-64745

pine kite
#

expand it to include 2306

finite pollen
#

i can ping them with portforward checker tool and they are open on the server

#

I used to use 64739

pine kite
#

UDP (TCP doesn't mater for 2302-2306)

finite pollen
#

what does that give you ?

pine kite
#

{"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.

finite pollen
#

but I cannot find it from my gaming pc 🙂

pine kite
#

Bingo!

finite pollen
#

could you see it in arma browser ?

pine kite
#

yes, let me pm you a screenshot

#

Well, the launcher server browser.

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.

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

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?

agile ibex
#

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

blissful bramble
#

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

agile ibex
#

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

agile ibex
#

this was solved

agile ibex
#

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

agile ibex
#

Can someone explain why this is happening?

#

I keep crashing the error code is 0x0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION PLEEEEEASSSEEE HELP!!!

wise barn
#

please re-read my message. specially the part about "... as much information as possible". thanks

fringe salmon
#

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

quaint jewel
#

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

fringe salmon
#

Yes i did the tracker report a couple days ago and nothing so far...what files will you need?

wise barn
#

where you able to play before?

fringe salmon
#

yea a few monrhs ago, updated everything, drivers etc

quaint jewel
#

the report file that the error message tells you to create with a button for it

wise barn
#

what drivers did you update?

quaint jewel
#

I don't check tracker regularly :u

fringe salmon
#

just my NVIDIA graphics card

#

ok let me get the file, do i post it here?

wise barn
#

also update:

  • mainboard drivers
  • lan drivers
  • onboard audio drivers
  • if you have, audio gear drivers

after that, reinstall vcredist for 2013

fringe salmon
#

ok i will try these options, do you still want the files?

wise barn
#

@quaint jewel might will

quaint jewel
#

might would

fringe salmon
#

Do i DM you or here?

quaint jewel
#

well the FT ticket without the report is absolutely useless

#

so I hope your ticket that you already created has the report file attached

fringe salmon
#

where do i find that?

quaint jewel
#

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

fringe salmon
#

All drivers are up to date

wise barn
#

did you reinstall vcredist for 2013?

fringe salmon
#

yea same thing

wise barn
#

no clue then. wait for dedmen

weary sky
#

Did you install the game while running steam as administrator and now trying to start the game with admin permissions?

fringe salmon

No i can try thanks

which is your FT ticket, there are a couple crashes in the last few days

fringe salmon
#

I dont even know what that is my man, sorry very new to this stuff

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...

runic peak
#

When i check via Signature Check on Arma 3 Tools the key returns no errors

weary sky
#

"repacking a mod" 🤦‍♂️
Better read the Steam Workshop EULA before continuing that...

quaint jewel
#

Why would he read the workshop EULA if he's not using the workshop?

runic peak
#

Yeah, repacking a mod because it doesn't include a server key

quaint jewel
#

Just keep in mind you can't upload it to steam workshop, is what Grez is trying to say

runic peak
#

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

weary sky
#

I'm short; you're only allowed to upload content which you own.

quaint jewel
#

It violates the steam subscriber agreement if you upload stuff thats not yours
And our #rules too

runic peak
#

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

weary sky
#

Missing key on the server, different keys for client/server, generated keys don't match pbo's

#

Depends on the exact error

runic peak
#

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

weary sky
#

In that case the key isn't available on the server

runic peak
#

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

weary sky
#

And you're also using the same mod on the client? And not the original one (without keys)?

runic peak
#

Yep

#

It references the "new" mod with the error

#

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

open lava
#

@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

limber oasis
#

@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

i've tried to repair the mod multiple times but nothing

you reckon an uninstall and reinstall would work?

delete the PBOs that are apparently out of date and then repair the mod

ember moon

where are the PBOs?

wise barn

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

alright hold on

#

i'm opening in web page or folder

uncut trellis
#

web pages are rarely used to manipulate your local folders

ember moon
#

so folder

uncut trellis
#

sounds correct yes

ember moon
#

what am i looking for?

wise barn
#

open folder in windows explorer

#

find the outdated PBOs

#

delete them

#

repair the mod

ember moon
#

What are the PBOs called? and are the inside the mod folder

wise barn
#

idk... look at your error message

#

could be in any of the RHS mods

ember moon
#

alright thanks

#

it's in each one apparently

uncut trellis

might need to delete all of them and let it repair them again

ember moon
#

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

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.

Thanks in advance!

next mesa
#

Does anyone know why my game crashes everytime, if i just wanna play 1 scenario, it crashes, same on servers.

weary sky
#

Well, what is error message?

next mesa
#

0x0000005 status_access_violation

weary sky
#

Try starting Steam as administrator and start the game from Steam

next mesa
#

i did

weary sky
#

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

next mesa
#

Only Kaspersky

#

but should be not the problem

pine kite
#

Make an exception to be sure anyway.

next mesa
#

nop also not

quaint jewel
#

Not enough details to figure out what's going wrong.
Are you launching the game via the Arma Launcher @next mesa ?

next mesa
#

Steam --> Arma Launcher --> Arma ingame

#

Click on Steam bibliothek on arma

quaint jewel
#

And when Arma crashes, the Arma Launcher shows you a message that Arma just crashed?

next mesa
#

yep with the erroc code that you can see 0x0000005 status_access_violation

quaint jewel
#

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

next mesa
#

i have the file, i send you per dm

quaint jewel
#

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

next mesa
#

its also 10 pm here

from where do you come ?

lone lake
#

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?

lone lake
#

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 meowtrash

fallen hound
#

@lone lake are you playing on multiplayer or singleplayer

lone lake
#

Singleplayer, Oldman.

fallen hound
#

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

lone lake
#

I tested it in other scenarios, and also on multiplayer servers such as KoTH

#

It's the same all over

fallen hound
#

hm. my suspicion might be that you're slower on the clicking or there's a technical issue with your mouse

lone lake
#

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

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??

uncut trellis
#

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

near hollow
#

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?

uncut trellis
#

dunno. could also be because its elevated the AI does not recognize its surroundings anymore

near hollow
#

maybe ill try lowering it they going ballistic lol

#

also its out of map bounds

uncut trellis
#

ah

#

thats probably it

near hollow
#

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

uncut trellis
#

thigns outside the map bounds do not exist for AI to see

#

or some such

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.

wise barn
#

those are RHS related files that are most likely NOT part of ACE

warm olive
#

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

weary sky
#

and those are up-to-date with the latest versions

warm olive
#

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?

weary sky
#

unsubscribe from the workshop to remove them completely

#

and subscribe again to add them / force update them

warm olive
#

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?

warm olive
#

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

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.

swift pagoda
#

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.

wise barn
#

use unraid

swift pagoda
#

no raid why?

wise barn
#

unraid is fast AND secure. better than raid.
i suggest you do some comparison / reading, it's quite interesting

swift pagoda
#

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.

wise barn
#

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

lunar sequoia
#

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.

swift pagoda
#

Thank you I have done this correctly then!

lunar sequoia

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.

the usual steam hickup

¯_(ツ)_/¯

let it do it's thing

Hickup sure, but it redownloads it, I have like 80 GBs worth of mods, and can't another 80 gb to my HDD

wise barn
#

it's not ontop, it's "overwriting"

#

at least it should be

blissful dirge
#

Hm, I'll see, but when it tries to 'overwrite' it says 'not enough disc space

wise barn

i seem to remember that there are some "fixes" around that involve some cache files... dunno. you'd need to google it

I seem to be getting this error.

well apparently that file isn't there

and some mod wants that

wind bane
#

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.)

fallen hound
#

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

wise barn
#

@wind bane
check firewall (router and PC)

#

add the ports to whitelist if needed

wind bane
#

I did @wise barn. I went to advanced settings and added a new input or whatever.

wise barn
#

did it work before?

wind bane
#

Nah, didn't change a thing.

wise barn
#

then make sure you have an IPv4 connection

#

disregard

#

what is the exact message you get?

wind bane
#

For steam invite?

wise barn
#

I keep getting information about it being a closed port issue

wind bane
#

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.

wise barn
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

idk

wind bane
#

Ouch

pine kite
#

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.

fallen hound
#

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?

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?

pine kite
#

Try pinging each other (from both ends) and see what works. It's likely an Hamachi or personal network issue.

File_ace_medical_menu.pbo is outdated. I cant get rid of these error can any1 help me me here (

wise barn
#

go to your mod folder location and delete all ace_medical_*.pbo files.
then repair the mod via the launcher

leaden anchor
#

How can I find my mod folder ?

wise barn
#
  • 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_*.pbo files
  • go back to the launcher
  • click the 3 dots again -> repair
leaden anchor
#

So everything that has medical Ace deleted correct

wise barn
#

yes

leaden anchor
#

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

wise barn
#

repeat

#

if that doesn't work, delete aall and repair

leaden anchor
#

What do mean all

#

I been repeating already lol

wise barn
#

well... unsubscribe, delete all left over files and resubscribe

leaden anchor
#

So delete all the files

wise barn
#

yes

leaden anchor
#

Just ace correct

#

?

wise barn
#

yes, for now

leaden anchor
#

Ok n thanks by the way )

#

@wise barn

wise barn
#

np

leaden anchor
#

Damn same code

#

Any more wisdom for me (

#

This is some bs man

wise barn
#

are you playing a (single player) mission my any chance?

leaden anchor
#

I can even play my op I created

#

Yes iam

wise barn
#

the mission might be referring to outdated versions

leaden anchor
#

So wht does the mean

#

Lol sorry

#

Because I saved the older ace

#

My ai arnt responding to the updated ace mod ?

wise barn
#

might be the case

leaden anchor
#

What was your case

wise barn
#

i never had this case

#

your mission might be looking for an ace version that is too old

leaden anchor
#

Oo I thought u may had a different solution

wise barn
#

nah... just observing for quite some time 😉

leaden anchor
#

Observing? So does theses mean I have to re create a mission everytime a mod want to do these lol

#

So do this*

wise barn
#

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

leaden anchor
#

In the note book ?

#

I kinda lost at this point lol

wise barn
#

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 😉 )

leaden anchor
#

Note pad

wise barn
#

download notepad++

leaden anchor
#

Ok? For

wise barn
#

Ok? For
to edit arma related text / code / script files

#

like the mission.sqm

leaden anchor
#

This is behind me lol

wise barn
#

no worries. everyone had to start there at some point 😄

leaden anchor
#

So what does this do for me what's wrong with the notepad that I have now

wise barn
#

n++ is way smoother to work with.
better for code
you'll see the difference right from the start

leaden anchor
#

Is this going to help with my o p s

wise barn
#

we will see

leaden anchor
#

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

wise barn
#

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

leaden anchor
#

which 1 do i dl

wise barn
#

latest version.
7.9.1

#

64bit installer

leaden anchor
#

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

wise barn
#

i don't understand

leaden anchor
#

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

wise barn
#

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. the addons[]= array in the mission.sqm gets populated automatically with the mods you have loaded at that time

#

same goes for savegames of scenarios btw

leaden anchor
#

Okay how can I find the mission.sqm

wise barn
#

have you activated the file extensions in windows explorer already?

leaden anchor
#

My mission is pop up with percentages next to them no sir how do I do that

wise barn
#

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++

leaden anchor
#

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

wise barn
#

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 😄

leaden anchor
#

My regular notepad still appears

wise barn
#

rightclick on file -> open with

then select n++

#

or open n++ and load the file from within

leaden anchor
#

I see web navigation

#

No ++

#

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

wise barn
#

any luck?

leaden anchor
#

No sir

#

I tried making a new mission I cant keep play on this map

#

Anymore like wtf

wise barn
#

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 😄

leaden anchor
#

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

wise barn
#

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

leaden anchor
#

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

wise barn
#

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

weary sky
#

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).

leaden anchor
#

)

#

How can I find Mission sqm

#

I can't find it nowhere

wise barn
#

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

weary sky
#

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

wise barn
#

orly?

leaden anchor
#

I see all of this stuff

#

Orly?

wise barn
#

"oh, really?"

weary sky
#

or /missions/ if you saved it as a SP mission

leaden anchor
#

Yea

#

Okay now that I found it now what LOL

weary sky
#

open mission.sqm with a code editor (Notepad++, VSCode, whatever)

#

and follow the instructions which audiocustoms already mentioned before

leaden anchor
#

Open Mission sqm what is that I do not see that the only thing I see is my missions

wise barn
#

can you post a screenshot to imgur please, then share the link here

leaden anchor
#

Imgur ?

wise barn
#

it's an image hoster. you can use any other if you like

leaden anchor
#

I never heard of it image holster sorry

#

I just tried to DM you but I can't understand why you have everybody blocked

wise barn
#

security reasons...

weary sky
#

because we don't do personal support 🤣

wise barn
#

and that

leaden anchor
#

I can understand why you have everybody blocked like I said LOL

wise barn
#

it's a website where you can upload screenshots or pictures in general (imgur)

leaden anchor
#

Lol this to much just 4 a pic

#

I'm not even a computer guy like tht I just like to play games

wise barn
#

then you shouldn't have started making missions 😄

leaden anchor
#

Yea

wise barn
#

no offense tho

leaden anchor
#

Or brought this game

#

Two out of four missions work using the same mod that's breaking my brain and hat

#

Half

wise barn
#

well, playing this game with mods an friends doesn't take much computer knowledge, just diving into mission making and modding

leaden anchor
#

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

wise barn
#

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

leaden anchor
#

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

wise barn
#

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.

leaden anchor
#

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

wise barn
#

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?

leaden anchor
#

what does Sqm mean

wise barn
#

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

leaden anchor
#

Can you tell me how to find it or no

wise barn
#

gimme a sec

#

princess leia in slave costume is on tv...
gimme some minutes 😄

leaden anchor
#

Ok )

#

I found my mission sqm

#

I was looking at it the whole time smh

wise barn
leaden anchor
#

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

wise barn
#

then you found it in ..\documents\arma 3\mpmissions\?

leaden anchor
#

Yes exactly now what do I need to do to get rid of this cancer

wise barn
#

launch n++

leaden anchor
#

How do I launch it

wise barn
#

uhm... from your windows menu

#

like any other software

leaden anchor
#

My note plus plus a saying web navigation that's the icon

wise barn
#

ok?

#

weird

leaden anchor
#

LOL thank you

#

So I don't even know what I download it

wise barn
#

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

copy everything from that and post it here please
