I'm trying to use the RPK-12 on a server and it says im missing a dlc but it doesn't tell me what dlc so I bought all of the dlcs and it still says i'm missing a dlc and it keeps poping up with the watermark

#

I wish i could show photos but cant post them here

blissful bramble
#

RPKs are either in Apex or Contact, the big expansion DLCs

fringe salmon
#

Yes I bought both

blissful bramble
#

Are they installed?

fringe salmon
#

yeah after i bought the dlcs it downloaded something

#

and on the menu it says i got them all

steady hawk
#

Restarted Steam?

fringe salmon
#

blissful bramble

Try that. Steam API needs to refresh probably

fringe salmon
#

then when i switch weapons it goes away

steady hawk
#

Looked like something's off on your data, verify would help

fringe salmon

I'll give that a shot and report back

The code execution cannot proceed because was not found. reinstalling the program may fix this problem.
Then i get Arma 3 has exited in an unusual manner.
Exit code: 0xc0000135 -Status_dll_not_found

#

ive reinstalled 5 times.... idk what to do im not that smart

lone vine
#

@scenic comet me too but it fixed now, try to start the game from directory files, it will show you which dll is missing, for me its vcom12, i have to download that dll

Been making a mission for a unit I'm in. It runs fine until I delete something in zeus. It then drops to a 3-9 frame range and doesn't seem to stop until I stop running the mission file.

P.S. I know there are a ton of errors. I don't design the modpacks sadly.

P.S.S. I would love a ping when if you're going to answer, as I'm getting some sleep soon, and a ping would be nice to just quickly find your answer.

Other than that thanks!

When ever I play Arma 3, My fps is 20 to 30 even tho I have a GTX 1050, Ryzen 5 3550H, 8GB Ram and 3GB VRAM. When I play multiplayer, I hit around 15 fps

@opaque pawn Check your settings, I'm using:
sampling 75%
no clouds / shadows
1500 terrain
everything on high (but clouds / shadows)
high contrast saturation brightness

and i get good 30/40 fps with a gpu from 2006

Oh, sorry.
I don't know where I need to write

quaint jewel

But you were already told where to write. You were told to write in #arma3_troubleshooting, which is right here

flint cipher
#

But I don't know if this a problem in the game or my computer

#

Wherever, it was not on purpose, because they argue with me instead of helping me?😔

quaint jewel

Where the problem is doesn't matter, this is still the troubleshooting channel which is the correct channel.
What help do you want from someone who doesn't know how he can help you?

flint cipher
#

U don't know how fix the trouble?

#

If nobody of bohemia knows how fix this trouble, I want my money back.
Because I pay for this DLC, and I cant play the story mode

Uh, feel free to request a refund on steam? @flint cipher

flint cipher

Look, I want play the tutorial.
Please, help me fix the trouble 🙏

# steady hawk *can't ?

Polpox was asking you for details about what exactly is wrong, and you didn't provide any still. Can't help without exactly knowing what your problem is

Edit: Task T155537 has been created in reference to this issue.

Hello all. Has anyone come across an issue in which ARMA drops to 0-4 FPS after alt-tabbing? All display modes, 4k res. 2080. i9. 64GB RAM. Drivers up to date. Issue has persisted beyond a system reformat. Sometimes doesn't occur for hours of alt-tabbing (I do a good bit of SQF work & mission making), sometimes occurs the first time I do it. Generally resolved by a system restart or waiting 20-30 minute before launching ARMA gain.

#

RPTs don't provide any clear indication of the issue.

#

When it occurs, ARMA uses 100% of my GPU, even in the main menu.

#

I normally get a fairly solid 55-60 frames during gameplay at ultra settings.

wise barn
#

full screen, or full screen windowed?

fleet sonnet
#

All display modes.

#

I primarily use borderless, but I am able to replicate the issue on all 3.

wise barn
#

shouldn't happen on windowed mode

fleet sonnet
#

Alas, it does.

wise barn
#

at least not that often

fleet sonnet
#

I have 3 monitors, though I only use one for Arma - no triple heading. However, it still occurs if I disconnect the other two.

wise barn
#

i have a triple screen setup, move arma around like crazy in windowed mode, resize it if needed, no issues ever...

#

strange

#

no idea tbh

fleet sonnet
#

Yep, I've had this issue for 7 months now and have yet to find any info on it nor anyone experiencing it. I assumed it was an issue with my system but since it is persisting after a full reformat, I'm at a bit of a loss outside of a very specific HW issue.

#

I hopped on here in the hopes of it being a rare but known issue or potentially a dev having a clue of what might be going on.

#

It almost feels like a conflict between Arma's render pipeline & the Desktop Window Manager, but that's really more of a loose conjecture than anything concrete.

#

And in all reality, were that the case it would be a more common issue.

wise barn
fleet sonnet
#

I believe I did a few months ago without effect, but I'll give it a shot now.

wise barn
#

it's a shot in the dark to see if your issue is GPU memory related

fleet sonnet
#

Possibly related -- I'm unable to use the windows key + shift + S shortcut for the snipping tool while the application is in focus. It has always been like that, but I don't know if that's expected. Are you able to use that shortcut with the app in focus?

wise barn
#

i think i've never tried. but i think this does not work while arma in focus

#

arma can use the windows key as a regular key if mapped (ACE, ect)

fleet sonnet
#

No luck with FLUSH

wise barn
#

so i guess its usual function is disabled

fleet sonnet
#

^ My thought as well.

wise barn
#

No luck with FLUSH
too bad

fleet sonnet
#

Yeah. Were it so easy!

wise barn
#

include your specs and a way to reproduce if possible

fleet sonnet
#

Altogether too reasonable

#

Will do

#

Thanks for the help!

wise barn
#

np

fleet sonnet
#

If anyone has any additional ideas/response, please make sure to reply / mention me so I don't miss it. Thanks!

#

Do you guys know why my GPU usage is low for ArmA 3

#

and my CPU usage is soo high

wise barn
#

seems like your CPU is bottlenecking your GPU
have you tried to set your settings to high or ultra?

#

@opaque pawn

opaque pawn
#

My fps is so low even tho my gpu usage is on 30 percent

wise barn
#

have you tried to set your settings to high or ultra?
?

opaque pawn
#

i will give you the results ASAP

wise barn
#

👍

opaque pawn
#

I will do it in a multiplayer server, since there is where I have most of my FPS problems

wise barn
#

which is normal since MP is the most demanding part. FPS in MP higly depend on the server configuration and the mission itself. script heavy missions tend to drop FPS

opaque pawn
#

Even in No mod sandboxes i get low fps

#

about 15

#

to 40

wise barn
#

sub to this mission/scenario
run it and post your results here please

opaque pawn
#

Do I play the mission for a few minutes?

#

I am watching it rn

#

Yo

#

I cant post the screenshot here

#

@wise barn

steady hawk
#

Use imgur

opaque pawn
#

omfg

#

even if i max it to high

#

gpu usage still low

warm quest
#

https://imgur.com/a/qfQvjjK Tried to install Arma 3 via a code. This happened. If i press finish, nothing happens. It says network timed out. However, my network is fine.
Also, it doesn't add the game to my library. Any way to fix this?

steady hawk
#

Try to restart Steam?

opaque pawn
#

my gpu doesnt wana do shit omg

steady hawk
#

This game uses rather CPU than GPU, so I'd say it's normal. Kinda bruh though

opaque pawn
#

what could i possibly do at this momment

#

to make my fps high

slow abyss
#

what are your specs btw?

opaque pawn
#

Ryzen 5 3550H
GTX 1050
8GB DRR4 RAM

#

I use a notebook btw,

wise barn
#

all you can do is set yout res to 1080p high, reduce view distance to around 1500 and disable PIP

#

since you have a laptop and a rather weak CPU... well

#

as i said, your CPU is bottlenecking your GPU

opaque pawn
#

How do I change my view distance?

wise barn
#

graphics settings

opaque pawn
#

in video settings, configuration, which option?

steady hawk
#

Visibility, Overall

opaque pawn
#

yeah still capped on 38 fpss

wise barn
#

it won't get any better, unless you switch hardware (to desktop)

opaque pawn
#

yeah doesnt do anything

#

@opaque pawn i've already explained
play with your settings see which setting gives you the most fps make sure to lower the sampling down and do not go above 100% it's just nto worth it

Using any mods @fringe salmon ?

fringe salmon
#

yes

issues with versions i have
Game version: 2.00.146773
server requires 2.00.13869. some say it doesnt exist and i cannot post a screenshot of my launcher here showing that is the version they are running any ideas? the name of the server is finders keepers.

#

wiped drives, formatted and installed win10 and arma fresh. out of the 80+ people goingg in and out that server daily im the only one with that issue. 2 days ago i had 0 issues loggin in now on server load screen it kicks me to the lan menu. only thing i could find after the typical ts of verfy files and such is the version numbers are different

uncut trellis
#

you can post on image host on web and link here

#

or post to your own discord server and link here

or something similar

Also no need to spam into the Forums

quaint jewel

#

well thats what the launcher show as a server requirement

quaint jewel
#

Doubt it

#

Don't think the launcher displays something that never existed

uncut trellis
#

some custom launcher?

wise barn
#

screenshots to imgur please

mint temple
#

no the one that came with arma. under options it shows 2.00.146773. when i click on the server finders keepers at the very bottom states required version 2.00.13869

#

goto servers search finders and see

quaint jewel
#

required version 2.00.13869 no it doesn't

#

please look and get the EXACT number that you're being shown, thats important

mint temple
#

well i have a screenshot but cant post one sec idea

wise barn
#

USE IMGUR

#

sry, caps

#

i dont know what that is but the screnshot is my prof pic

quaint jewel
#

Well... that's creative

steady hawk
#

notlikemeowcry I never thought that way

wise barn
mint temple
#

OHHH sweet. ty for that info

quaint jewel
#

Okey so yes it actually says 2.00.143869 but that still makes no sense, because that version never existed

#

The very first 2.00 release was

2.00.146773

A 143869 of 2.00 NEVER existed. You cannot downgrade to a version that doesn't and never did exist

#

2.00 can only be 2.00.146773 or higher

#

143000's was back in 1.80 version, not 2.00

wise barn
#

not even dev or profiling?

quaint jewel
#

dude.. wat

wise barn
#

nvm

quaint jewel
#

yeah, exactly

#

That version number displayed in your launcher for that server is nonsense. You cannot downgrade to that version because it doesn't exist.
So there is no solution to that problem, find a different server to play on.

uncut trellis
#

is it a legit server?

wise barn
#

well... since such version never existed, how could smb make it "not legit"?

Having some trouble with the sound, maybe related to 2.0 update?!
Before the update i could lower the level for sound effects, the top one in the audio menu, for like flying or in louder vehics.
It didnt change the volume for AI or chat.
Since the update it does seem lower every sound and not only .
Even setting the AI and chat up to 100 and the effects to 5, its still quiet.
Checked my soundsetup/autolevel/driver and shit, all the same, only thing new is the update for the game.

Just trying to figure out if it is really the game or maybe something broken on my end.

fix should be in perf branch and will hit stable with next update. no ETA

hearty delta
#

Hi I’ve just got this and need help with unsung mod please

#

I put the mod in arma3 folder

grim tinsel
#

what do you mean with arma3 folder? @hearty delta

#

And did you subscribe to the mod on the workshop?

#

also also whats the problem you're having?

hearty delta
#

No I downloaded from mods

#

Modded

grim tinsel
#

Why not subscribe to it on the workshop?

hearty delta
#

Moddb

#

Ok I’ve subscribed

#

I’m in the arma3 launcher

grim tinsel
#

using the workshop is going to be a lot easier than adding mods manually

hearty delta
#

Sorry really new to this

grim tinsel
#

No worries

#

and what did you mean with the arma 3 folder?

hearty delta
#

I went to steam

#

Then local files

#

Then added the unsung folder to the arma3 folder

#

Like it said on moddb

#

I’m also subscribed

#

On steam workshop lol

grim tinsel
#

Then added the unsung folder to the arma3 folder
do you mean the folder all the arma folders/files are in or a specific folder?

hearty delta
#

Steam apps/common/arma3

grim tinsel
#

Ye then thats fine

hearty delta
#

Ok

grim tinsel
#

a lesson to you: never put anything into the arma 3/addons folder

#

no matter what anyone tells you, never put anything in there

hearty delta
#

Ok

#

Ty

grim tinsel
#

because then it gets loaded every time you start the game

hearty delta
#

It’s says validating

grim tinsel
#

Arma just goes Oh that file looks nice and loads everything in that fike

#

Ye just let the workshop do its thing

#

when it says that its done installing you'll be able to activate the mod in the 'mods' section of your launcher

hearty delta
#

Oh ok

#

So what does validating mean

grim tinsel
#

its just checking that all the files are good

hearty delta
#

Ok

#

Cool

#

I’m in launcher in the mods tab do I need other mods to play unsung

fringe salmon
#

You don’t need to put it in the folder manually

#

Just subscribe on the steam workshop and it will download it to your mods in arma

hearty delta
#

Ok

fringe salmon
#

If it’s outsourced from arma holic or something just open your mods tab in dashboard and drag and drop

hearty delta
#

Ok says mods not ready

#

Unsung

#

I’m really new to how steam works

Whenever I host a server on my computer nobody can seem to find it. People could join it a couple months ago. The upnp and the ports are what they should be. Does anyone know a fix for that?

Could be a lot of things; update of modem, new firewall, AV messing stuff up, ISP locking ports, no more IPv4 address...

Hi there, I'm in love with Armoured vehicle turrets! I'm trying to use a Thrustmaster Warthog joystick, and can't seem to be able to get the turret traverse speed to match the traverse speed when using the mouse.

@fast sparrow does it have its own software? If so can you change the sensitivity of they joystick there

fast sparrow
#

The frustration there is that the sensitivity is fine for aircraft flight in Arma 3, and going and changing the settings in the joystick software to use armored vehicle turrets means that it changes for the aircraft to =S
I'll have a play with it though, there might me a way I can program a "hot key" to change between sensitivity schemes...

try this

  3. If you didn’t want OneDrive files store on your computer, you can also delete OneDrive folder.

  4. Closed all Office applications in the computer.

  5. Go to Control Panel > User Accounts > Credential Manager > Windows Credentials > Generic Credentials.

  6. Remove all Office related credentials, which are named like MicrosoftOffice16_Data... and OneDrive Cached Credential Business - Business*.

OneDrive comes installed with Windows 10 and is enabled by default if you sign on with a Microsoft account. If you don’t use OneDrive, however, and don’t want it running in the background, there are some hoops you can jump through to disable it or get rid of it everywhere in Windows 10.

Arma 3 launcher seems to have that bug where it doesn't show official servers. In game browser works fine though, and since you can't use mods on official server there is no point in using the official launcher getting them.

Recently started to use Virtual Zeus entities for Zeusing missions but have come across a massive glitch. Most of the time the Zeus interface will not open for the player in the Zeus entity slot and when it does, if the zeus ever get's disconnected the Zeus interface will not open back up for the Zeus. I've tried placing a initplayerserver.sqf file with the following in the mission:
{ if (!isnull (getassignedcuratorunit _x)) then { _unit = getassignedcuratorunit _x; if (isnull (getassignedcuratorlogic _unit)) then { unassignCurator _x; sleep 1; _unit assignCurator _x; }; }; } foreach allcurators;
But that didn't work. Anyone who might be able to help me out with this?

any idea?

#

Does your ISP provide you with an internet routable IPv4 address? Arma 3 cannot handle IPv6 addresses. Check the results from this site to see if IPv4 is supported at your (home) location: https://ipv6-test.com/

orchid ferry
#

it worked before

#

but yesterday it shit the bed and it aint working

pine kite
#

But most likely something is wrong with the port forwarding on the server side.

orchid ferry
#

i disabled then re enabled UPNP twice yesterday

pine kite
#

yeah, don't rely on Upnp. Set port forwarding manually in the router. Most reliable way (until the router gets reset to factory defaults)

#

And make use of DHCP address reservation for the server network adapter to keep the same IPv4 address.

okay ill try it tomorrow

Vanilla or with mods?

both

Specifically what weapons?

All SMG weapon (Vermin, String, PDW...)
All players in the same game session experience the same issue.

I'm guessing it's related to the mission or Server

Since I have no issues with SMG on other PvP servers like KoTH

Huh, well thats odd

When a player shoots at you, you hear the bullet impacts but no gun shot

And its only SMG's, or?

only SMG

#

Assault rifles and Snipers no issue

we have several servers and it's the same from one to the other

While using the RPG-42 and MAAWS for a good while now, I have noticed that the ranging is very weird. If the target is 500m away, and I aim at where 500m is labeled, the rocket way overshoots the target. Here is an example of a 1250m kill where I have to aim for less the 1000m to get it to land where I want. Any idea of what is going on?

#

okay so this is weird, TFAR (Beta) doesnt switch clients to the set channel in teamspeak but the TFAR does work other than not puttting players into the TFAR channel automatically

#

i tried the normal task force radio and it too does the same thing

quaint jewel
#

Did you configure it via the channel name? What is the name?

#

Do you know how the get the channel id?
In TFAR beta you can tell it to use ID:21 for channel id 21.
That might work better for you, as it's independent of the channel name which might have problems with special characters

raven dust
#

how do i find the channel ID

quaint jewel
#

Don't know. I have a custom skin from like 5 years ago that shows me the channel id.

raven dust
#

also when i set the password, to 123, then apply it and press okay, then i open edit channel again and it shows a password that is 8 characters

#

and i can not see what it is

quaint jewel
#

Yes. It's supposed to not tell everyone the password. That's intentional

raven dust
#

no like in the edit channel itself

#

it wont show the password and it changes it

quaint jewel
#

Both TeamSpeak and CBA settings in Arma hide the password intentionally

I'm having this very weird bug where I can not activate sling load in any heli although keybind were binded. I have ACE and 3CB mod installed. Other than that are just custom assets. Anybody has any idea what's going on ?

Can you try replicating the issue in vanilla? @fringe salmon

I got a "circular addon dependency detected" which crashed my game on startup. I've never seen this error before. All the addons I was trying to use I have used before together. Might have been because of the test version of my mod I was going to test out some new stuff on? What exactly does the error imply?

slow abyss
#

Two mods depend on each other so the game doesn't know which one to load first.

#

I think.

restive trail
#

That makes sense I suppose. My poor config knowledge is probably at fault here. Gonna check it out, thanks 🙂

Bros my friend cant see my server and i sus the port number

serene galleon
#

Or if playing with few friends you could also use hamachi, to make things easy

#

@cloud remnant

dim python
#

I have a problem with arma 3 and hamachi, when i try to host a server with the correct port (2302), my friend can not see the server listed, we have tried direct connect but that does not work, but somehow i can see his server when he hosts it, and join it just fine. Hamachi however works fine on other games like say minecraft etc. The only thing is it worked just fine, before i reinstalled the game a few days ago.

What ports do work in arma3

#

server hosting

grim tinsel
cloud remnant
#

obly those

#

?

grim tinsel
#

wat

cloud remnant
#

are only those usable when hosting servers in arma 3

uncut trellis
#

those are the ones the game uses for those functions yes

fringe salmon
#

So recently my arma has been playing up and it randomly drops to literally 1fps for about 5 minutes before fixing itself

#

It happens no matter if I play with or without mods, and doesn’t depend on my graphics settings either

# cloud remnant are only those usable when hosting servers in arma 3

The ports mentioned in the link are the default sequential set needed. You can however define a different starting port number with the -port= commandline parameter. And the others just follow sequentially. Some people also host multiple server instances on the same machine. That requires those port-sets to be separated far enough to not get in to conflict. Like the example in the link to have server 2 use the ports in the next 100 higher. Like UDP 2302-2306 vs UDP 2402-2406, but you can choose pretty much any starting port above 2000. Below that you risk getting into conflict with other popular networking protocols/applications.

Alright not sure if this'll go in here or #arma3_questions but I'll put it here anyway. I've run into a headsplitting issue with importing mods. For around an hour I've been going through ALiVE and making a faction for an op, I've gone through and installed PBO manager in the mean time. I've put all the code into Sublime, saving as a config.cpp and set it up. I've put that config file into a addons folder, then put that folder into the folder that I want with the title, GMNF (faction name) and converted it to a pbo file. From there, gone across, created a folder called @woven monolithNF Faction, so at the moment it looks like this

@woven monolithNF Faction -> addon -> GMNF Faction.pbo -> addon -> config.cpp

When I go to load it as a local mod, I get an error message saying;
These mods couldn't added
GMNF Faction
There is no Addons folder in the mod folder
The mod doesn't have a correct format. An addons folder is required in the folder of the mod.

Now I'm sitting here scratching my head, I've rewatched the video I watched multiple times trying to decyper what the guy is doing or if I can mess around with the file and do what it apparently wants me to do, what he does in the video is drag and drop the PBO into his clans premade mod list with factions and such already in it so dead end there, tried that with another mod didn't work. Trying to set up an addon folder constantly only to load it and get the same error sending me back to my files to redo what I just did only for it to happen again next try. I would really like some help with this, I'm completely new to trying to, well I guess you could call this modding, and completely lost.

#

Format is @ModFolderName > addons (with an s) > yourpbo.pbo > config.cpp

#

And then you add the @gloomy lichendFolderName folder as a local mod.

I'd recommend getting familiar with the wiki (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Main_Page), as most of this and any other stuff you may end up asking about will be there. It takes some getting used to navigating it and finding what you want, but info is always there and updated.

Hello I have a problem so here to run my game I have a "Cloud Gaming" (Geforce Now) and so I have an error message I do not know if it is due to the Cloud or to another can you helped me please? Message error : " You have been kicked out of the game (BattlEye: Admin Kick (Use of a proxy / VPN is not allowed)) "

weary sky
#

can't see the image... access denied

dreamy dust
#

Oh fuck

#

One minute

#

" You have been kicked out of the game (BattlEye: Admin Kick (Use of a proxy / VPN is not allowed)) "

weary sky
#

yeah... that is the problem of running the game through Geforce Now (and seems to be a common issue), and certain anti-cheat settings.
This is not caused by Arma or BattlEye, but through third-party settings/tools (afaik)

dreamy dust
#

So I no longer have the possibility to play my game? ..

weary sky
#

you can, but not on servers which use those tools

#

which btw are mostly RP servers

dreamy dust
#

And how do I know a server is using this? Is there really nothing I can do? I have the game mainly for RP and I can't really anymore ..

weary sky
#

You can contact the server admin(s) of that/those server(s) and ask them to disable that feature (if possible).
Or buy the game on Steam and play from your own PC.

#

Alternative; ask which system they use and contact them to have Geforce Now whitelisted.

dreamy dust

Ok thank you for answering me

i get error when i use a3 launcher to join any server it says “ the code execution cannot procceed because was not found . reinstall the program may fix this problem “

ther is a bug in the sound drivers that makes USB sound devices crash the game like that

i been having issues with hosting an Arma 3 server for my friends and i, but came to find my router (BGW210, ATT) does not support UPNP, so i was wondering if there is another way to host a server without it, i don't want to rent one, and my PC is fully capable of hosting, but with this new router i have, i can't make a private game anymore, there a way to host online without it?

pine kite
#

Port forwarding! Any self respecting router manufacturer will have that in the configuration menus, if not behind the advanced ones.

strange crest
#

yeah i already checked and tried, it port forwards so i can host on other game, but it doesn't have UPNP, so i can't host on arma 3

pine kite
#

you don't need Upnp if you have port forwarding set up

#

upnp is sort of automatic port forwarding (when it works)

quaint jewel
#

You can forward the ports then

#

2302-2307

pine kite
#

also other kinds of configuration

#

what's 2307 used for?

quaint jewel
#

No idea

#

Is that not the right range? Dunno

pine kite
#

2306 is the last as far as I know

#

Oh yeah, UDP ports 2302-2306 to be precise.

#

Incoming
2302 (default Arma 3 Game port) + (VON is now part of main gameport due to NAT issues)
2303 (STEAM query, +1)
2304 (Steam port, +2)
2305 (VON port, +3 - not used atm. but allocated)
2306 (BattlEye traffic, +4)

strange crest
#

it's really odd how i can't host a server on arma 3, but i can host on other games that require port forwarding like barotrauma

#

for now i been relying on hamachi but i don't really want to use it

Can you try launching via Arma launcher, but already selecting a server and connecting directly to the server from the Arma launcher

so that didnt work

just wasted more time

What ive figured out is i spent 60 dollars to

Get a DLL error when trying to run arma 3 on 64 bit, On 32bit it runs, but on modded it will drop to 5 frames randomly and wont come back up

#

anyone know how reinstall direct x

weary sky
hybrid dagger
#

told me a new version is already installed

ive tried everything arma will not run at 64 bit

Does it runs with the 32bit version?
And what happens when you disable BattlEye (with 64bit)?

hybrid dagger
#

it runs 32 bit but not bare able

it will run for about 10 mins then drop to 5 fps

when i disable battlEye it wont open game
