Stuck on loading addons, tried to verify files and then reinstalled game
how long do you wait for it?
1-2 minutes
give it some more time
@uncut trellis Its working now but why did it took so long?
perhaps you had something slowing down your drive
is it on HDD or SSD?
or some external USB drive?
or something else
possibly steam was doing stuff
Okay so I've installed Arma a while back and I can't play the game because every time I load it up and try playing the single player Campaign or Multiplayer It freeze and doesn't respond. I can't even close it when I go to my desktop because my mouse still has the Arma Cursor. Please help I just want to play the game.
Also I've Uninstalled and reinstalled Arma 2 times with steam and Once manually. And all those times I've verified my files at least 3 times. Hell I've even tried to run Arma using the 32 bit and set to the default launcher setting.
@clever sphinx
navigate to your game folder ..\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3 and try to run the arma3_x64.exe directly from there
I can't even close it when I go to my desktop because my mouse still has the Arma Cursor.
fyi, I recommend using task manager to close it and setting that to always be on top of other windows @clever sphinx
no idea then
Could it be my profiles? beacuse It does the same thing if I click on it/
Update I deleted one of my profiles that was made beacuse of my new PC and seemed to fix the Arma cursor Problem (I'm able to click on my pinned apps and interact with them) but still Arma freeze
Update #2 Fixed the issue. Deleted the profile that I was using and made a new one. I'm assuming the profile was corrupt somehow? anyway now I can finally play the game.
👍 that can indeed happen. happy gaming
@fringe salmon
it must me set as the default input device in the windows settings
You were kicked off the game (Player Name wrong signature for file addons/languagemissions_f_epc.pbo)
Why am i getting this error?
possibly a corrupted game file. verify your game installation via steam
Okay
You might want to try #arma3_tools
thanks I'll post there
What's tools makers?
Click on it
no need to trouble shoot my thing. Figured it out.
does your game randomly crashes when opening the map ?
or does it only happen to me
who?
I need urgent help
I have reinstalled my windows
and reinstalled Mikeros
tools
and I am getting some weird issues
When I try to open my D: drive(or any other one, besides C) I get 'Encountered a improper argument' error
When I try to pack one of the pbo's i get missing files error and another see stderr error
Okay, in the middle of mission making, my helicopters won't take off when I use a waypoint activation set to a trigger that activates when radioed. How can I get them to take off when I activate the trigger?
Google isn't bringing me any answers
I've literally made the whole mission but I can't finish it because the helicopter that's supposed to take me home won't take off
Hi
I've been having some really bad FPS issues with Arma recently
Even tho a lot of people have told me I'm not supposed to be getting as much FPS with the hardware I have
what are your specs, and what FPS you got?
I've tried soo many things to fix it but nothing has even made better
GPU - AMD RX550
CPU - AMD A8-7670K Radeon R7, 10 Compute Cores 4C+6G - 2 Cores
RAM - 8 GB
I can't get it above 20 fps
Lowest settings possible
with that hardware, no surprise
best you can do is autodetect graphics settings
lower viewdistance and disable PiP
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Try to increase the settings instead
You got any suggested guide I should follow?
don't use low settings. you shoft load away from your GPU to your CPU
make sure you have your integrated graphics disabled in the bios and your monitor actually plugged into your GPU
well, better check that in the bios.
I just autodetected my video settings
and the fps somehow went up
but its still at 20
-25
but it's still unplayable
it is what it is then... won't get any better with your hardware
Laughs in having 45fps on a Q6600 and a GT630. (On my old PC)
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1731305438
This guide will help you greatly @kindred imp
Yeah, no. Waste of time reading it.
Reading even more of it, I see why people come here because they've completely borked things. Literally stay away from Steam "guides", especially ones that refer you to Armaholic.
It actually gave me and my whole community a 20+ fps boost; It's basically the performance.exe + some minor tweaks
Way back in 2013, it may have been applicable, but not anymore. Hasn't been the case for many years.
I wouldn't be surprised to find that you've actually reduced your FPS by following that guide.
That's something that I will test tomorrow and will get results back to you. You intrigued me now.
the performance exe currently has huge improvements in it yeah
Yeah that guide is good
everything I can see is valid. But i didn't read the texts in 8.
Thats a nice change to see a actualy good guide for once
Tho I wonder how much difference the 2.1. things make
3.8 is not wise to do. logs are very useful
to a few people
and when you have issues. just need to remember to re-enable logs when issue
Ah right, and as of 2.02 it won't give you a improvement anymore
@quaint jewel how does someone get the performance .exe, if it still works
Thanks! I know someone who'll really benefit from this. Which version does it work up until? Or does it work for all?
always current game version
Sweet
What does it do in terms of performance? My brother's laptop barely meets the minimum spec
read pinned messages in #perf_prof_branch
Yeah I should probably do that.
Got any errors, or something in the log files?
yes, although in that cause you would get a message about it
in the end; if something goes wrong, you either get a message on your screen (in chat or a pop-up) or something in the log files.
im just permanently stuck loading and cant join the server
but that has a reason, which is reported somewhere
most likely a broken mission or mod
if you dump the RPT file on pastebin and put the link here, we can see what is going on
where would i find that?
Feedback tracker
i've exhausted the online sources i can find regarding crashes:
either getting this CAE22319 00:CAE22319 Unknown module
or this 0xC0000005_-_ACCESS_VIOLATION
the latter of which I believe i may have dealt with before the former popped up as the next bug to prohibit arma from ever running
hey yall, I have TFR installed with Teamspeak 3 and I keep getting the error cod e"invalid parameter size" with my teamspeak announcer spouting error at me and in restarted the plug in, arma 3, and teamspeak numerous times to no avail. are any of you guys having the same issues, and if so have you been able to fix it?
Does anyone know how to run Pingperfect setup for servers? I am having some real trouble working on these things.
@here
i am new to amra 3, and i tryed the bootcamp but i had an audio problem where i would hear some thing only in my left earpiece on my headphones. i have a good feeling that this is a bug and is not what the game is supposed to do.
upgrade to TFAR 1.0 because it tells you that: "Your Arma profilename is too short"
hey i just downloaded arma3 and im getting frame shuttering, i saw soemone saying about locating the "arma3.cfg" on arma3 folder but i cant find it
can you tell more details about what you consider "frame shuttering" ?
low fps, short freezes?
no i have about 140 fps steady, it just has a blackscreen for 1 second
then the blacksreen goes out, it shows the game and after some seconds the sam thing again
blackscreen for one second isn't what i would consider "stuttering" its some serious game freezing.
And I haven't heard of that issue before
maybe try playing fullscreen windowed instead of normal fullscreen
ith appends when the monitor is at 100hz and the game is less or more hz
could be anything from driver issues, hardware (cable), GPU (temperature), graphics settings (ingame).....
don't lock your screen to 100Hz
the thing is that i CANT locate a folder named "arma3.cfg" this is where i can change the game's,hz
you don't change the game's framerate in arma3.cfg
then where
nowhere
You can enable vsync
but that's about it
if you have a Nvidia GPU you can maybe configure fps limits in your driver settings
hertz is the same thing as fps
but there isnt any opton in-game to change the hz
good luck
30 hertz == 30 fps
no game has that kind of setting
@slow abyss i cant locate the folder "arma3.cfg
Well I told you two possible fixes for your issue. if you refuse to try them then I won't further waste my time on this.
arma3.cfg is a file you edit, not a folder.
yeah this thing
it isnt in my documents
my documents folder doesnt have anything in
Ah there once was a refresh rate option in the video options. but seems like it was removed from the UI.
refresh= option changes the vsync time. But that is auto detected from the display.
meaning if you use a 100hz display, it will already be set to 100, setting it to 100 again won't change anything @slow abyss
@fringe salmon turn if VSync
Might help
If you always have more than 100hz, you'll be fine if you turn on vsync
i have to locate o document
good to know, dedmen
but i cant find it
no you don't, you have to stop ignoring people telling you how to fix your issue, instead of trying to follow the idea you have which won't help you
C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Arma 3
dedmen i was on dm i didnt even seen that
you replied directly to my messages in here, you saw it ^^
oh wait
i have alreday enabled the vsync
but
let me check the other
Yeah my idea was making sure it didn't go above the monitors refresh rate to not solve the issue but prevent it from happening
dedmen it didnt work, i tried both
also the 'arma3.cfg' isnt there, it was the 1st thing i tried, is it the problem that the game is located in my D: disk and not in C: ?
no, not an issue. arma no matter the installation location will create profile folders in documents
search for arma3.cfg on your pc then
again, the arma3.cfg won't help you
so what's the issue? fps dipping too low or going too high?
fullscreen windowed doesn't work yeah?
Never heard of a dispßlay going black for a second just because a game is running too high or low fps
@fringe salmon knock yourself out by messing with the config file, or listen to dedmen... your call
Thats what i did it didnt find anything
I also had this issue on Siege, my monitor was at 100 and the game's was at 60, the game had its own option about switching the Hz and i solved it by just seitching th hz (ingame) from 60 to 100
fixed it
it took about 10 mins for my pc to findit it was hidden somewhere else dont remember where, i opened the notepad and the game was at 144hz
i witched it at 100, now it plays like it should be
I think the geeks are at #server_admins
Oh, didn't see that text channel section, will look there. Thanks!
Delete your post here to avoid cross posting
Hello, so when i play with any mod i run 80fps no matter what. If i use low settings i have 80 fps
Ultra settings is still 80 fps
but in gunfights no matter what, i get 30 fps
But if i have no mods i get a shit ton of fps
1: don't use low settings, use autodetection
2: mods can have a performance impact
3: intense gunfights and explosions tend to dump FPS
I used autodetection, i only used 1 mod (ACE), i just had 2 squads of 4 fight.
My friends get the same thing
It is what it is. Same happens to me sometimes (depending on mods, terrains and missions) with i5-9600k @ OC 5GHz, RX 5700XT and 32GB 3200MHz CL16
Hey can someone help me with the error "battleeye client not responding" or something.
Hi, I'm having an issue joining Bohemia official servers
I'm getting a message saying something about an admin ban and then I get kicked out
The only thing I can think of is little under a year ago, I was trying to expose this cheater who seemed to have admin privileges on Public Zeus servers. I know that a lot of people were permanently banned because of him. I imagine I ended up the same way
Any chance an actual bohemia admin could look into this?
wlbslur is for offensive/profane language
I know, but I highly doubt that it's a legit ban, as I rarely used in-game voice or text chat
Just hoping someone can find out if it was legit or not
If it helps, the guy I believe who banned me was JWoLF, but he was going by a different name at the time
@odd escarp
Only one person can BE ban on official Arma 3 servers (iirc), and that's Dwarden.
I'm having an interesting issue. Once in a blue moon when booting Arma (no matter profile or modlist) hud-color settings, difficulty settings, and (sometimes) CBA settings reset 🤔 I also get the pop-ups from certain DLC and mods as if using them for the first time.
Anyone experienced this and found a solution?
@wise barn I'm not so sure about that, because the guy who went by JWoLF was able to ban people at will with whatever script he had written
only thing you can do is DM Dwarden and ask to take a look at it, although I doubt you got banned by a random person for a random reason
hey can someone please help me with this
im trying to join my friends server but like it just keeps kicking me and with no error warning
im not even getting to the role selection it just sends me back to the server list
I had this the other day. I game restart fixed it for me... though I assume you've already tried that?
yes i had
many times
it works now for some reason but if anyone knows a better way to fix it than trying again and again for hours that would be a big help
How do I get a squad into an helicopter and make it fly to a point on the map
Stupid question ik
Are you their group leader, and that of its pilot?
Any tips on decreasing CPU usage? My poor i3 is being slammed here
I'm just in the campaign, no mods
PIP and view distance settings, both Overall and Object; the official wiki's performance-optimization guide identifies them as the three biggest CPU impacts
Turned them all to minimal, still horrible fps. My fps isn't even this bad in multiplayer
F
HALP
So I was in RHS Zeus and the game froze up on me. All I could do was alt-f4. Now I've launched the game up, and no player slots are showing up in multiplayer anymore.
Scratch that
Fixed it
Hey!
I just bought arma 3 and it won't launch.
No error code
When I hit play
Gives me that
have you tried verifying the game files on steam?
sorry no, Im working on something
not off the top of my head
alright
unfortunately you have a bit bad timing as most of the people who know this stuff may be going to sleep around this time
alright. if anyone can help me later just at me or dm me!
did you google the problem yet?
have you installed the visual c++ redist?
@terse tundra
Try to reinstall vcredist for 2013 and directX
And I'm on the shitter with my mobile in my hands. You're faster goggleing it than me trying to walk you through on this weird app keyboard 🤣
Nope. I don't do troubleshooting via DM.
In addition, I'm currently 80km away from any PC
Too bad. Sorry...
@uncut sparrow your issues sounds like either broken mod or missing files in your install.
if no mods are used then verify game files on steam
One of my members are having an issue where his rifle optic won't load in from the arsenal when loading a saved loadout
I've tried it too and mine turns grey instead of white (name of the loadout)
Anyone know a fix?
read the above
Oh, thanks
are there mods in use?
its group leader
Yes, around 90
Are questions about server errors welcome here too?
@fringe salmon See #server_admins
Thanks
hey+
hey-
The following instructions are using the 'default' Arma 3 Apex preset so if you're using a different one or modified your keybindings then change these accordingly...
To get your squad into the helicopter:
- Select your intended passengers (F# keys), then either...
2a) Look at the helicopter in first/third-person -- the cursor will change from crosshairs to a |V|-like icon -- or mouse over it on the map, either way untilInteracton the left-hand Quick Command(s) menu is replaced withGet In <helicopter name>, then press either of theUse Default Action(Space or Enter) orUse Selected Action(Middle Mouse Button) keybinds. (If you were mousing over on the map, you can simply click your Prim. Mouse Btn. while whileGet In <helicopter name>appears.)
OR
2b) Press theSelect Menu 4keybind, upon which the Quick Commands menu should be replaced with aMountmenu giving a list of vehicles for them to enter, followed by the number corresponding to your helicopter, and finally the number forAnywhere,Ride in back, or a crew seat if any of those aren't already taken.
To have the pilot fly to a point on the map:
3) Select the pilot, see that Move There is selected on the Quick Command menu, then either in first/third-person point your cursor at the intended destination and press the default/selected action keybind, or from the map left-click the destination.
Finally, in order to land, I've been selecting my pilot and telling them to Disembark (from the Quick Command or the aforementioned Mount menu)... hopefully someone else has better instructions than that.
EDIT: Last note: If you are a passenger or crew of said helicopter and do not have third-person view enabled, then instead of using the cursor to point to a destination (even in first-person view) you'll have to use the map; if you do have third-person enabled then you can press the Tactical View keybind to switch to a view with the cursor not locked to the center of the screen
is it me or does this mod work ?! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2171969018 i copy n pastes the mods comp in my arma profile comp folder
and the the mission as well
I dunno
get right files
No need to tag me on questions btw. I'll answer when I see them and if I know answer. I dont work here.
unfortunately me neither
Most up to date mods can be found on the arma 3 steam workshop
my arma is stuck on receiving data
big thanks
I may be missing other methods such as utilizing waypoints, and the above assumes that you're talking about doing this in the context of 'live gameplay' and not, say, setting up 'mission opens with a helicopter landing' in the Editor
Oh, and there isn't a guarantee that the AI will land at or even move to/hover overhead exactly where you point them to... but if it's close enough to a visible helipad, the AI may select said helipad as the destination
Hi, I think I have found a bug in the Jets DLC Showcase. (I'm trying to get the achievement "Deadstick Landing").
After being hit, in the HULL (Red) and the FUEL (orange) I have gone to repair to the airport as the mission itself indicates. I have arrived there and it seems to refuel infinitely (because of the FUEL hitpoint state???). I can provide a screenshot if it's needed.
You mean your fuel tank can't hold fuel because it's damaged and therefore you're losing fuel as you're refilling?
That's not a bug
no, sorry I may not explained myself right.
- It repairs the aircraft at the same time? (i think it doesn't) Or It does it after refilling?
- if this is the case. if the fuel tank is damaged it will never jump to the repair stage.
The main problem is that the plane isn't being repaired. And I think it could be because of the fuel issue.
Anyone know a fix for the steam authentication invalid: code 6?
my friend keeps getting booted hes tried everything such as reinstalling arma etc
does anyone know how to fix where it says ace/rhs pbo is out dated
make sure you have the correct version from the Steam Workshop and make sure it's up-to-date
including compat mods
you dont run them all at once do you?
i doo
running 400 mods at the same time is asking for problems
especially when you don't know what they can break 😉
ok
but as I said; simply make sure you use the correct mods and they are up-to-date
and if you don't use the Steam Workshop, it's time to do so
i do
Heyo. SO I've decided to give steam a shot and i tried to install A3 server through tools. Everything is working but this error is seen every time i start up the server which is then kicking us from the game
0:26:15 Warning: Current Steam AppId: doesn't match expected value: 107410
file is set to 107410
Verify the installation via steam
It seems that my report has been lost in the conversation I will copy paste it again.

Did so three times. Still the same issue
ok man understood
Every time I launch up steam ( which doesn’t always work) I go to launch arma and steam stops responding. I’ve not touched anything at all. This morning it was fine. I’m not sure what it is. Other apps start to not respond too.
have you restarted your computer?
is there no ome able to help me
If you could correct your writing/typos. Then maybe people could understand what the problem is. install a map on 2 tadst?

how to i get my mods to work ples help
what are the requirements for emblems to show up? ive uploaded a few different types on the units website and it shows in the launcher but not in game? is it anything more than just the 512x512 png?
does anyone know why my arma 3 tools crash whenever i try to open the object builder
possibly you are trying to open a binarized p3d
which you cant do
as in unpacked from the game or mod files
all i did was launch arma 3 tools and click on object editor
then possibly your tools setup is somehow broken
i didn't select a file whatsoever and im not trying to steal anything either
i just downloaded it, im new to making mods and all
so idk why this is happening
Id recommend Armadocs tools and P drive setup guide
could you link me to it?
no, would have to google Armadocs
and its faster and less clicking for me if you do it yourself
that would be the one
thanks
the rest of the docs is more for terrain making so far
no, that is my tool, not the wiki
but the tools setup is universal
already had that before the terrain wiki was made 🤣
well good catch
If i would have a small amount of space on my PC would it decrease the performance of the game?
Like 11.1 GB's on where my game is installed.
should be enough for a bit
@thin iron
Looks like you are somehow trying to load mods as missions which does not work. Your server startup is borked
i keep getting exit code: 0xC0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION everytime i try to launch a drone?
Join any official arma 3 server, and then you should have your emblem appear
It took me a literal day to scoop out this information somehow
yo @wise barn of i cant lod the mods on a mussins how do i add a mip
The... What...?
map
No clue....
I have no idea what hardware you use... Dedicated machine, server hoster?
Root access or FTP only?
can you join vc and maby try to help
I don't do private troubleshooting, especially not via voice.
Troubleshooting in general is kinda hard to do from where I am right now
I'm at work and PC is 80km away
o ok i will try to tip thin ok
this is the progame i am uesing
i can send it why
you there
@wise barn can you add me so i can send you info i need to send to you for you to help me
Why does it specifically have to be audiocustoms that helps you?
thary not one but no one els hass help and i can't send images in this chat
how do i fix my mic not working in servers on arma 3
use a website like imgur to upload the images and then post the link here
arma uses the windows default devices
how do i fix it to use my headset it worked 1 day and now it wont anymore

does it give you an error message or something like that?
i can lod in and talk in chat bit no what for me to worak arade
wat
I wont 
Looks just like a building in Arma 3, seems you're in the right place. 😉

@thin iron In earlier messages you mentioned TADST. Is that the tool you used to setup a server? When asking for help in troubleshooting it is much more helpful if you show the settings and changes you have done to get it to work as you wish. Then obvious errors might be noticed. .... but you really need to do something about your spelling. It is almost impossible to follow what you are trying to say. And not just by me.
Is there any way to disable Arma's auto-benchmarking thing? Any time I drop below 20 FPS for even a few seconds, the game takes away the option in my video settings for High, Very High or Ultra and automatically sets all my options to Low.
If I try to set everything back to Very High and I drop below 20 FPS again, it'll just set my textures to Low without even changing the option in my settings. Textures will look like crap but it'll still say they're set to Very High when they're clearly not.
It's not a "auto-benchmarking thing", it's simply your PC not being able to handle the graphics fast enough so it will try to load at least something.
Alternative would be waiting 5-10 seconds for each frame to load
It's not a temporary issue though. The quality doesn't drop momentarily during that dip below 20 FPS, it permanently sets itself to a lower quality and I have to go back in and change it every time it does.
It's getting annoying to have to go in and reconfigure my video settings every time I drop frames for a second because it changes itself to Low in order to compensate for a spike
I can run the game at Ultra perfectly fine but the second a curator spawns a bunch of stuff and dips my FPS, all of my video settings revert to Low to compensate for the frame loss and I have to go in and change them again
Sure. I don't have the answer since didn't use it by myself tho
alright well
Ive got this 1600x900 monitor because my actual good one had dead pixels and I had to send it back, so I'm just waiting
But essentially, when you press ctrl+windows to bring up the circular ace combat menu
and hit the medical tab, or any tab at the top of the wheel really
the options are cut off due to how small the monitor is
anyway to fix?
Yeah this is one of the only things I could find on the topic but it isn't working for me. in the player menu via the map there is a space added for where the emblem would normally be but it isn't there. I initially thought it was an issue with transparency since I couldn't figure out how to not blend it in. I replaced transparency with white and used a webtool to re-add it through that to no avail.
I'd also like to know how to have an emblem without a unit tag as I've seen it, but I'm not sure how that is done.
The game does have an interface scale option. Maybe if you change it one level then it will fit.
I may try it here now.
We have a strange problem on our servers. The thermal vision of the Special Purpose Helmet (CSAT) is bright as white on days. In nights, it works just fine. The strange thing about it is, that only the helmet (we didnt tried any other mod helmet we use) has this problem. Laser Designators, vehicle weapons, vehicle scout systems work just fine (also mod vehicles). Anyone also have this problem?
Anyone have any ideas on how to troubleshoot network issues? I have a friend with a bad connection that's been having problems and I'm not sure how to figure out the root cause.
how does his problem looks like?
no issues then they randomly drop from the server
my guess is network because we've verified game cache and repaired all mods
should I drop my maxsizeguaranteed down? it's 512, should I do 256?
ping isn't an issue, I'm more asking if there's any good tools out there you know of that I can run on their computer + on the server to see what the connection to the server is like
i've never done network troubleshooting, but here's a collection of tools that might be useful
https://www.comparitech.com/net-admin/network-troubleshooting-tools/
does anyone know how to fix arma it just stays loading the map
mods?
Can anyone help me. I'm trying to load a mission on a dedicated server, but after slotting screen i get the error "Picture pic.jpg not found".
I'm certain i never call a "pic.jpg" anywhere and searching my mission files gives 0 results.
Also, the mission loads fine locally
Why is my fps so low? i think my computer should be able to run it
Nobody knows your computer spec so nothing can be told
core i7 10700
Rtx 3070
32gb ram
i watched a video and i think some other guy had 750ti and he was getting really good fps
MODs/In-game settings/missions?
im playing multiplayer
invade and annex
i put the graphics on ultra as it doesnt seem to make much of a difference between ultra and low
Make sure an empty mission wouldn't cause any lags. If so is a fault of your mission
could it be the server?
Or, maybe yes. I didn't do multiplayer games so often
oh i see, thanks for the help
What POLPOX said... I couldn't find a video of the game on a 10700 but here it is on the over-a-year-older i5-9400F, with half the RAM and a 2060 6 GB, on 'generally Ultra' settings and the three hardest-impacting-the-CPU settings (PIP and view distances) turned up... over the course of an official singleplayer scenario, AVG of 75 fps and the 1% LOW is 35 fps: https://youtu.be/qjircs9iypM

So it definitely doesn't sound like your components or even settings are the problem
I was playing vindicta today and accidentally dropped my clothes because I rightclicked instead of leftclicking on them, but then I couldnt pick them back up for some reason. I tried dragging them back on as well, but that didnt work either for some reason. Is this known? Is that a bug from the mods vindicta needs?
Thanks in advance for any replies
Sounds like you were trying to put on the clothes of another faction, which you cant do iirc
that might explain it, they were civilian clothes and you're blufor so i guess that makes sense?
Yee
okay, thanks
Anyone kknow what mod could be throwing this error out? 'bin\config.bin/CfgPatches.caamoderna_client'
nvm
Hiya everyone.
Have an unusual networking bug. A player of mine could not find a (dedicated) server of mine using "direct connect". The others had no problem.
I checked by screenshot that he used the correct IP and port. He also could not find the server manually under the "internet" server list. Could also not be invited to server using Steam friends. We were stuck until bizarrely, he opened the list of previously opened servers, and selected the server from there. He connected and played without problems.
Any troubleshooting clues on this?
(note: yes he'd played previously on the server. Pretty sure he used Direct Connect without problems then)
My "Tools For Arma 3" wont open
it just launches then when i select a tool it closes
hello, I've been getting random screen flickering. I am running on a 10900k/3090/32GB RAM. hdr-enabled monitor with gsync @ 165hz. I've tried messing with startup parameters by setting cpu cores to 10, enabling hyperthreading, specifying the memory allocator etc. It doesnt happen often but I can fix it by exiting to main menu and resuming my scenario. Wondering if this is specific to the chernarus redux scenario im playing (ravage)
@austere carbon
somebody had a similar issue not so long ago. he changed something in the arma3.cfg iirc.
use the discord search function
depends what kind of mission you are in
some may have supplies spread around or you allies might have some. Some mission you may need to loot your enemies weapons/ supplies
["Open", true] spawn BIS_fnc_arsenal;
😉
im trying to put a mission into my dedicated server and when i put the pbo file in the server but when i load in it shows nothing but default missions are working
any one know ?
Hello Arma 3 is having fps drop on my pc is there any fix ?
I even have decent gpu gtx 1070
Whenever i try to ads or shoot and sometimes when i run my fps drops and lags
is your game installation on HDD or SSD?
for performance you can try https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1731305438
also some mod combinations can cause heavy fps drops
be prepared, you maybe wont get more as 60fps online. the bottle neck is the single core cpu strength of your system
HDD
that's your issue. put it on SSD to reduce / eliminate stuttering
Ok thanks
Using HostHavoc for my Unit, created a new mission for an ongoing campaign but the mission won't load on the server, it just loops on the web console as starting and in-game shows up as stuck on "creating", none of the warnings are familiar to me compared to the usual warnings, correct commandline is on, correct mods on, mission made with the same modpack as the server, using the #missions command works for our normal missions but when trying to load this one it shows a black slot screen and after a couple minutes forces back onto another mission file, not quite sure what to try here.
screenshot of the web console linked:
https://ibb.co/1KnQTC7
any ideas?
Any chance you can post a full rpt log? @warm plover
Just fixed it, it was a weapon/ammo crate from an FAA Argentine Faction mod causing the issue.
Oki
I used to host games through the in game server maker (I used the unp thing) and they could join, but today I went to host a game and it says server not responding on steam.
I used to be able to casually host games but it does this now
Hey, I have some issues regarding the custom compositions in Eden editor. When I save the composition it shows up on the list on the right but when I want to place it down, nothing shows up. After restarting the game the composition is gone. When I check the compositions folder in Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles it is empty. I restarted the game many times, switched profiles, verify, reinstall game without success and I'm running out of ideas, i launched the game with no mods at all, still with no success on saving. Thank in advance!
Looks like one of the missions in the campaign is unplayable. I'm getting an issue with the game freezing up in the briefing screen for the supply route mission (the one after your first meeting with Stavrou in Bomos).
Always try in vanilla
Hey, so I'm now getting into making screenshots. I'm really enjoying it but I have run into one issue that is killing me. I keep getting this error and I have no idea how to get rid of it or prevent it. All I'm doing is spawning units, assigning animations, and taking pictures so nothing major. https://gyazo.com/45371973b210023f0a048a004f15a956
You missed the most important thing to shoot the trouble. No idea what did you do, MODs, steps, whatevers
I can't pin it on any certain mod yet. I've been testing them all out, one at a time. I was just hoping someone here had the same issue before
Sorry. I open the eden editor. Place down some units, mess around with their loadouts, browse animations and assign the ones i like, then I test play. In that test play through eden that error shows up.
I dont mess with anything else
And MODs?
I think i figured it out. It was either IFA3 or another supporting mod
Never had that issue until recently but I guess that mod is causing the issue.
I appreciate the help and sorry if I wasted your time at all man
Hi, I've got this problem with arma 3:
I've updated my graphics drivers 2 days ago. Since then when I try to launch arma all I get is black screen and "application not responding" message. Tried both with mods and vanilla. I have already verified game files, reinstalled arma, installed previous drivers and reset launcher parameters to default - nothing helped.
Error code is 0xCFFFFFFF - STATUS_APPLICATION_HANG
have you tried resetting your Arma 3 profile?
as in deleting the profile folder or moving it out to backup location
No, give me a sec
Well, it worked
Is there any way to export all my keybinds and other settings from one profile to another?
could perhaps try copying some of the files around
Alright, Ill try something. Thanks a lot for your help
👌
cant resume map/scenario mods without restarting if I click resume I get the error 'You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted.tfar_core'
You're trying to play a mission that you started with a mod that you dont have loaded anymore
that mod being tfar beta (i think)
I have task force radio installed
unloaded or not for whatever reason it ceases to work
do you have task_force_radio or TASK FORCE ARROWHEAD RADIO(BETA) loaded?
Ill take a look
if you have tfr, try the other one
both of them loaded at the same time orrr?
only beta
alright loading it now
I reset my bindings to remove my hotas settings the other day and now can't change weapons. Please help
How are you expecting the weapon changing to work? @modest stream
by pressing 1 for primary, 2 for pistol and 3 for launcher
@grim tinsel thanks homie got a working appreciate it
and saying HOTAS key slider 1+ for every single button
Good to hear it works
hm check if those keys are still set up in your controls, I'm pretty sure thats the default for at least one of the premade layouts
not set up
Then you can either try out a different premade layout, or set them up manually
ok
If you want to do 1/2/3/4 for vehicle weapons as well, that falls under 'weapon groups'
Arma "uninstalled" itself, wasnt there a way to get it back without reinstalling?
what does "uninstalled" mean" ?
I wanted to start Arma and would have to reinstall it. I also cant download any mods as of now.
so steam thinks its not there
steam bugs like that sometimes
you could try restarting
^or tell it to download the game in the same location
How do I do that?
As you can see the shortcut is still there for some reason https://imgur.com/BSbwZhH
And first i'm gonna try restarting, see ya in a moment!
Just 'reinstall' it again. Steam will see the old files, does a check and restores the old installation
It actually was that easy. Instead of a 6 hour download I just have 30 mins of verifying files. Ty very much guys!
trying to build my insignia mod and its crashing out the addon builder with the code error reading config.cpp and class destroyed with lock count 1
try using PboProject instead, it will tell you what you did wrong
I fixed that issue, but now the images I've put it wont load, the mod loads and shows them in the list but they wont ap[ply
I'm an idiot. I forgot to add the filepath to config.cpp
uhh
im using the Global Mobilization Compatibility mod for users in my group that dont have the DLC, and my game is crashing everytime i try to load GM assets onto the map
under "status access violation"
verify game files in steam
verify mods in Arma launcher maybe
probably a corrupt file
that's weird
what im trying to do is load some GM buildings that look way better than the vanilla buildings for what im doing
when i remove them, game works fine
but i place them, and the game dies
verify game files in steam
verify mods in Arma launcher maybe
probably a corrupt file
I'm back... Again with the same issue:
As soon as I launch the launcher (clicking the shortcut or launching from steam) it crashes, however inside the launcher log, it comes up and says its fine
What
did you report on feedback tracker like the launchers crash message tells you to?
No I don't get a crash message
how do you know it crashes? its just gone?
press WIN+R
and enter %localappdata%/Arma 3
Already did
No
open the latest log file (.RPT) scroll to the bottom, does it say that it crashed or smth else
Nope, says it launched
can you send me latest logfile
Not rn, only have a screenshot of the log rn
Hmm, alright I'll send it later when I get home, are we taking about the launcher logs or something else?
Yea, as dumb as it sounds the way I solved the issue last time was by keeping the log open and launching the launcher application itself but no luck this time, and same as before, I can launch arma just fine through the .Exe file
It was fine for about 3 weeks then decided to break itself again
No major changes in mods or anything were made either
Hi, i have a 60% keyboard and adjusted all the keybinds so that it should work but i cant go into 3rd person, any help?
No pingy pongy the devs please
, and if you changed the key it should work @glass yarrow
it doesnt... ive tried verify files and undoing mods, nothing works even with plain vanilla
Is this in singleplayer or multiplayer that you're trying to use the Toggle View keybind with? Seeing as MP servers can force first-person-only
Anything, even in editor on novice
Odd... if you've got a keyboard with Enter [Num Pad] on it laying around I'd try that to make sure nothing else is wrong, but fwiw I added RCtrl+Enter to Toggle View and that worked
"%localappdata%/Arma 3 Launcher" 😉
Is anybody available to help my issue?
I'll be available for basically the entire night if anyone wants to try and work out some solutions
Hey guys does anyone know what this addon is "ECXlu" my server is missing it and i have no idea what it is
looks like some ripped LifeRP content...
Didn't you want to send me the log?
I dont know which one
the newest Arma (non-launcher) log
Where do I find
So is "ECXlu" from LifeRP??
Cause i do not understand how, it's from other mods on the workshop
no idea... but I can only find it in relation to LifeRP content, since it seems to be a vehicle addon with questionable background
Do you mind if i send you the modpack?
Cause i just get this in the log
"16:15:50 Missing addons detected:
16:15:50 ECXlu"
Every time I try doing #missions in a public server even while others are on and I am voted admin, it kicks everyone saying "Session Lost"
What the hell is going on?
I told you how to get to it yesterday
I told you the exact steps to open the folder
Yesterday?
yes
Mhm
every time i try to load up arma i get the error "file ace_tracers.pbo is missing"
in the Launcher you can repair the mods you have subscribed to, and in this case it looks like ACE is corrupt
or you try to use a mod which requires ACE without loading ACE itself
ok
i will try that
both repair and loading without ace is not working
i can pm you a screenshot of the error
upload the screen on imgurl (or similar) and send the link here
ok 1 second
I use lightshot, lets you crop and upload straight away
I need some help.
I think I got a serious problem, and it's stopping me from playing multiplayer.
'Downloading of the steam file has failed, please try again'
Sound familiar to anyone?
hey i need help i launch the mission files in a dedicated host and it shows all the roles filled with AI
https://gyazo.com/3a20f8cfe8054b0f0f92a980dcb8b35f
how would i disable that
cause i can't pick a role in it
i'll check that out in a bit

Anyone know how I'd go about fixing an LOD bug? I keep getting details on objects and buildings like they're 3km+ away even when they're right in front of me, and it's only been happening recently.
Not sure if I can ask questions about ACE3 here but I didnt find an ACE3 discord so ill try anyway.
Is there any way to edit the time it takes to bandage? I can find time to use injectors, splints, iv's, etc, but no matter where I look I cannot find anything related to bandages.
I recommend asking in the ace slack linked in #channel_invites_list @orchid cradle
I tried asking this in reddit multiple times but my post keeps getting removed for spam?
Now I've got to ask here.
I'm completely unable to connect to any servers.
I bought the game few days ago been trying to connect to my friend and it just won't go through. Nothing we've tried has worked
Then I tried connecting to any random server and I face the same issue
Then I try connecting to the official servers and it doesn't work
I've tried direct connection, using my friend's IP address, I've tried looking at port forwarding I've spent days looking for answers on Google and I can't find anything.
All that happens is I Select a server to join and get a static screen that looks at the loading map, nothing else no matter how long I leave it.
I can't even refund the game now because we've been trying to get this to work for too long. I could really do with some help.
I'm not running any mods, I only have marksman DLC because I was told that was needed.
tried turning off windows firewall?
your steam is running?
did your friend look into his server logs when you tried to connect, what did they say?
marksman DLC is not really needed, but depends on what you're doing
There wasn't a way so I made a mod for it. If anyone else is interested here it is:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2365548896
It increases bandaging speed in ACE3 Medical with 100%. Time is still affected by type of wound etc, its just twice as fast as before.
My arma keeps telling me i have a bunch of add-on's are not signed by a key accepted by this server for almost all of my servers...
Even when i unload all my mods.. its still there...
Then verify your game
In-game VC right? Arma 3 uses Windows' default audio input, so check your device is set to it
how would i change it
yep its all on defult and aint work
Restart game maybe
Rip tried that
@hybrid nest are you in the correct channel?
make sure you're talking in a channel where the others can hear you. for example dont talk in group channel if your friends arent in your group etc.
im making sure i do that
what ever you do, never try and edit the CSAT AT loadouts, game crashed when loading into the loadout editer
@fringe salmon and where is the bug report on the feedback tracker with steps to reproduce?
So, whenever I try to subscribe to any ArmA addon on the workshop it tries to update/redownload all the previously installed mods, does anyone have a fix for this
game has been uninstalled and reinstalled twice
i've verified the integrity of game files
i've restarted & reupdated windows
i've affirmed that my bios has been updated
and obviously i've turned off and on my computer
launcher can open but everytime i launched w/ and w/o mods the game crashes
can someone help?
check https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_process_exit#0xC0000135_-_STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND
Could be that you're simply missing something else (DirectX, Visual C++, etc.)

Answer for your question: remove GM, which means untick Global Mobilization from DLC tab of your Launcher
Also: F12 is your friend
Any idea why when I go to do the mission death valley my game crashes?
More info please
Well I started the mission and it goes into the map then just crashes
Well, any MODs?
na, I just playing vanilla game, no mods, no dlc's
Then verify the game
I just tryed it again for the 3rd time and it seems to have worked fine, weird. Thanks for the help 🙂
¯_(ツ)_/¯
"Downloading of the Steam file has Failed"
Keeps giving me this for all my missions, I've verified at least 10 times now.
I need some help here, my Brain is starting to melt.
Following Problem:
I've joined two Units on the ARMA Website, and i am Logged in there, But i cannot see these two units in the Launcher, i tired:
-Refreshing the Website
-Refreshing the Launcher
-Restarting the Launcher
- Leaving and Re-Joining the Group
-I've looked in parameters
-i uninstalled and Reinstalled ARMA
If Someone know what i'm doin' wrong here I'd Be more then Greatfull to get some help.
I might not be the smartest so don't be mad at me if i oversaw an Obvious solution.
Thanks.
Problem Solved itself, turns out im an Idiot and didn't connect my Steam to the Website.
Does anybody know where to find the official server admins? We need one of them rebooted. It has become very buggy.
Good to hear you manged to fix it
Im stuck in a loading screen
When i click play on eden editor it gets stuck for some reason
Possibly mod related. Try first doing what you do without any mods running.
I keep getting 'Downloading of the steam file has failed, please try again' whenever I try hosting a mission.
File validation doesn't work.
Gday. I run a altis life server which relies on voip for initiations and just roleplay purposes. However we have just noticed that everone is really quiet. Is there a way to make people louder when using direct communication?
There's a minor bug which breaks the VON volume slider in game, where the VON volume is regulated by the "Effects" slider in the Audio Options. Simply increase that and you'll hear people better.
If you use TFAR or ACRE instead, simply increase the volume of Teamspeak 🤷♂️
Thanks for the response. Thats a little annoying. I hope they fix it soon. We are a unmodded server and dont want to add tfar so we will just have to wait.
You can switch to #perf_prof_branch which has it fixed
I've been getting workshop mods (such as Better Smoke, RHS) and i really want to get USAF MOD Main Pack, Utility, and Fighter pack but whenever i subscribe to it on the workshop it never gives me a notification that its been installed to the launcher. Steam says its been downloaded but i can find it in the mods tab. Any ideas on whats happening?
Restart the launcher, make sure you don't have a filter set, restart Steam... Just a few things you can try
And make sure it's actually subscribed and downloaded
how would i do that?
Close application and start it again? 🤦♂️
No
To find out if its actually installed
it says it downloaded a 247kb file to arma
idk what else that could be
Did you try the 3 things I mentioned first?
Because Steam won't download stuff as long as Arma (or the launcher) is running
Let me try
No, it still isn't showing
i closed the launcher, unsubbed and resubbed to the mod and restarted and its not there
its doing this for a few other mods as well
can anyone help?
Some mods don't actually come up in the launcher. What type of mods are they @frigid dock?
Stuck in a loading screen again
It gets stuck when i use firewills planes
How can i solve this?
you need to press Caps Lock (by default) to speak (push-to-talk), or double-tap it for auto-detection
Oh shit tanks man
🤔
🤔 Describe, your, issue, precisely
i launched up arma 3
the third iteration of the arma series
and it is in vr
but im in flatscreen
How it is in VR?
disconnect your VR device
i dont own a vr device
it most definitely is
im looking up videos of arma vr
the gui is exactly like mine
inb4 the terrain is just Virtual Reality
There isn't
check your GPU software for settings
Weird wind noise on Virtual Zeus. HELP? it happens whenever I go high on alltitude or hit the ground and makes repeated falling noises....

Heya I've been getting access violation after 10-15 min of playing on my new acer nitro 5 or game closes without error. I opened a ticket and uploaded dmp files on https://feedback.bistudio.com/T156301
I've tried no mods which still fails, reinstalling, moving hard drives, changing memory allocators, other settings etc, deleting my old profile i copied from my desktop which works well and making a new one, and still no hope. Curious what im missing.
I'll check the dumps in ~20 minutes
Was the 'VR' your first-person view turning independently of the rest of your character's body?
reinstalling/verifying game files should fix that
"ca\takistan\data\tk_polopoust_nopx.paa
CUP Terrains takistan is corrupted
I believe that Steam has a simple FPS counter, althougg there's also third-party software such as RivaTuner Statistics Server (RTSS) which works with both MSI Afterburner and HWInfo
@quaint jewel seems to still be a problem with out of memory error or something. Let me know if you still need more info on the next dmp i got for today really fast.
https://feedback.bistudio.com/T156301#2150237
I tried no mods this time and reverify game cache didn't do anything.
"Basically the game freezes after I drove around for 10-15 min and I have to CTRL + ALT + DELETE to kill it." that way it doesn't generate a .mdmp which I need to see whats going on
wow oof
what did you do with your start parameters
-high -exThreads=7 -enableHT -malloc=tbb4malloc_bi_x64 -maxvram=5120 -filePatching get rid of ALL of these
they are all nonsense
Your page file seems to be too small
Ah was an old attempt to get things working from some optimization guides. I'll ditch those
https://www.windowscentral.com/how-change-virtual-memory-size-windows-10
See this, I think you want to have.. uh.. probably atleast 8GB
This laptop have 16 GB of RAM? 😮
ah
Some day I'll look into why Arma needs pagefile even though it shouldn't.
but that looks to be unrelated to the corrupted file in CUP terrains, two seperate issues
https://feedback.bistudio.com/T156301#2150239 still crash once the firefight start. I suppose for this one, would it best i set Virtual memory in my computer advance setings itself to automatic manage file paging for all drives?
out of swap memory with this one
I think this did it 🙂 I set the initial page file to 8 GB and max 16 GB in the virtual memory settings for my SSD. Haven't had to do that on my desktop, but had to for my laptop.
Video settings menu shows framerate.
anyone able to tell what that error code means? just had 3 people crash their arma at the same time.

So I reinstalled RHSAFRF, I loaded the game but none of the stuff was there, so I close game and click repair and it doesn’t do anything, I tried a lot of times and it did nothing still so then I went and tried deleting the files completely and reinstall it, I do that but it instantly says I have it installed and I go to local files and they are all there
And I can’t join the server I’m trying to because it says my stuff isn’t installed
Can you dump your RPT file on pastebin and put the link here?
apparently the GGE mods aren't signed to the server yet they are on the client? someone please help?
Not sure about those mods @frigid dock, but I know some mods don't need to be selected in the launcher. Maybe launch the game and see if they are there.
So i keep getting this error when i try to start the game0xC000012F - status_invalid_image_not_MZ how do i fix it
i have tried everything nad it still isnt working
Well; it means that there is an important file which has the wrong size or is corrupt. So going through those steps will 99.9% certain fix the broken file.
And if you would run Dependency Walker you would know which file it was
yea nothing is working
dependency walker isnt showing anything
i tried everything on the website again
nothing
any clue what might cause someone to be unable to enter zeus in multiplayer in a designated slot
being in admin doesnt permit it either
They eventually started working and i havent ran into that issue again yet and ive played probably 10 hours after so 
That's good
our problem was fixed (we think) after finding and removing a broken trigger in the rpt that was repeatedly firing and activating a bunch of units over and over. the wierd thing was that the crashes happened for all players at a specific spot on the map, that was kilometers away from the trigger.
Avoiding this spot delayed the crashes for about half an hour, removing the trigger fixed the problem
@barren crescent here
Anyone have issues with loading modpacks VIA Html? I go to load it, the mods I dont have will be subscribed to and then the other mods that I need won't load. So im left with a mess of my previous mod pack and only the newly subscribed mods mixed together.
Thanks man.
Guys , im having this problem for like , 3 days , ACE_MEDICAL_GUI.PBO is outdated and game Closes , someone can help me pleaseee
Im tryng to unistal this medical mod
but I cant find it
I didn´t found at workshop or in any files..
Got an issue with Arma. Whenever I load into any multiplayer game (or host one via Multiplayer or 3den), I can't see / find any roles. Anyone got a clue what it could be?
With & without mods, verified cache and restarted my PC.
@fringe salmon unsubscribe from workshop, let it uninstall and resubscribe again.
That will fix the issue
Yeah , but I don´t find it on Workshop
I´ve searched a lot
And I cant find it
ACE has everything in there
@weary sky Can't be, Vanilla missions are affected as well.
I know that on dedi servers it can break when 1 mission requires a terrain which is not available, even when you try to load another one.
I believe the same applies to local servers (from in-game), bit not from the editor

Now with the new copy, it refuses to detect my flight stick and calls it a “xbox360 controller” now the last copy detected it as it should’ve with the proper name and amount of buttons. The new one, however, doesn’t have all the buttons and won’t even work. I’ve tried going into steam and fixing it but it just won’t work. Please help, I don’t want to buy a new one just yet.
try going to controls > Controller and clicking disable
Ok I’ll have it a shot
Did not work
im not sure what else then sorry
Tried it in any other game?
Hello. For some reason whenever I try to host a game and turn UPNP on it says that there is an error and that port forwarding has failed. This is the first time this has happened and I don't know why or how to fix it. Can someone help me please?
Good day, I logged in today and I got that message that you get when you join for the first time and when I looked in my arsenal all my 150+ loadouts were deleted. I noticed that the outline was changed to an orange colour as well. I have 500 hours in this game and I put a lot of effort in my loadouts, does anyone know a way to recover them?
I have also looked in my local files and both the vars file and the other profile file does not seem to contain the loadouts either
(Opened them with notepad)
@round stirrup , log in to your router and see if UPnP is even enabled/blocked. Often it is disabled because of potential security issues. While you are there, you might as well set up portforwarding instead. UDP ports 2302-2306 to the IPv4 addresss of your server. If that is your desktop pc then find the option to reserve it's address (under DHCP/LAN reservation likely) for the MAC address of it's network adapter.
Or the IPv4 address of your computer may have changed tomorrow.
I will do that. Thanks for your help.
im having trouble with zeus, some of my units dont show up in zeus on certain maps and yes I have all addons (unoffical addons) on aswell
Put down a trigger that adds curator editable objects on a script in a game logic icon in the eden editor that runs on a timer. I find that much better than syncing units with a module. I don't have the script right now but I found it on the internet somewhere
Ok I realised, this isnt for my problem I shouldve been more specific the units arent showing up IN the toolbox or something

I have an issue with arma, everytime I launch with battleye enabled it BOSD my pc, without battleye it works fine though
im pretty sure that its your computer overheating
nope, it's operating at normal temperature
I can't access the units.arma3.com website
All other sites and stuff are fine, just the arma 3 units site
Sorry if this is the wrong channel or a dumb question >.<
Okay, so apparently it sometimes loads, but I can't actually see any of the units as if they dont exist
Anyone have issues with loading modpacks VIA Html? I go to load it, the mods I dont have will be subscribed to and then the other mods that I need won't load. So im left with a mess of my previous mod pack and only the newly subscribed mods mixed together.
Has there been any word from BI on when A3 Units will be back up? Has been down for awhile now
Stuck in a loading screen again
Sorry to hear that, is only thing I can say with your report
I have a problem with my Thrustmaster t.16000m throttle when i increase the thrust a bit nothing happenes but when i put it to the half my engine goees up to 100% directly

My game keeps on crashing and it's so frustrating to not know what it is. I've got the STATUS_ACCESS _VIOLATION but no answer online fixes anything :/
Hello, I've ran into a small issue with the server displaying one of the mods as signature mismatch when the mod does have a key and is up to date on both server and clients, anyway to fix it or is it a problem with the mod?
Hello. My addon made in with Arma 3 Tools and Addon Builder was has shat me the Cannot open object error on my face in game, so I'm trying to immigrate to Mikero's tools, but I've encountered the same problem as @cyan kestrel's 'extractpbodos' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. issue. Exact same one.
Nothing's working on my computer as if it doesn't want to do anything productive.
I installed Arma 3 Tools and ran (also ran Addon Builder), installed Mikero's ArmA3p, DeOgg, Depbo, DeRap, ExtractPbo, MakePbo, pboProject, and Rapify (I reinstalled them three times). Ran Arma 3. And YET, I'm still having this problem.
Is there a any way to fix this? My time and patients is running out.
you need to set up the windows environment path for the mikero tools. There is a guide for that on the internet and I think in the tools documentation somewhere
time and patience are something you dont have the luxury to run out when modding.
@uncut trellis Oh damn. Environment variable trick worked. Wonder why does this happens? Cause it's free? Shouldn't the wiki tell to do this steps to everyone?
Anyhow. I hope the next thing I'm going to do will work as well. Thanks a lot!
manual setting up the windows environment path for the mikero tools is very uncommon, but happens. like it can happen to every other software on windows. how to avoid that? don't us windows 😉
hey guys i wanted to know on arma dayz mod does upgrading your flafg give u more storage?
flag i mean
Mod specific questions are best directed to its maker. @vestal cedar either by their own discord, forum, BI forum or steam page
Anyone know a fix for the darter drone doing flips when in loiter mode??? It's mental
Makes me sick in camera view
Can anyone help me with the fps ? I have a I5 4460k and a GTX 1070 , and still having 30 fps in a Altis Life server . Can anyone tell me a solution ?
there is no solution
life servers are known to have bad fps due to the heavy scripted mission
and 30 is quite normal fps for Arma multiplayer
or well better hardware could get better fps
Some guys told me if i get a better procesor i will get more FPS , like my specs are not compatible with each other . My graphics card is good but my processor is so bad.
its possible but not quaranteed
And there's only so much that a better CPU will help in multiplayer if the Life server's mission file or the mods it uses aren't coded well enough for the player count
yes, the "fix"
have more powerful server/better internet connection
honestly though there is no magical fix that makes performance better
perhaps you have problem with the scenario you run and it tanks the performance
Use headless clients for ai
hey where would I go for troubleshooting acre? friend cant hear me but he can see my mouth moving, plugin on teamspeak looks to be correct with it detecting its connected to arma
ACRE Slack?
The link is on their website
Annd solved just had them reset it again
you cannot play/edit this mission it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted.task_force_radio_items arma 3
Always getting that error when trying to play the takistan mod
you are missing TFAR, either stable or beta
check mission description an dependencies
@waxen yarrow
i just checked. the mission is from 2015 and a lot has changed since then. dont get your hopes up high. i don't have a link at hand, just search the workshop for TFAR
the task_force_radio makes me think its stable, but not sure
task_force_radio is the old outdated stable, from 2016
But tfar 1.0 will define that config entry.
so content that has been deleted.task_force_radio_items should still not be printed if you load TFAR beta
Hey there, nothing admin wise is working for me
where?
Anywhere
I listed myself as admin in the server.cfg using my steam64
But even logging in using #login <password> isn't working
Sorry, Arma 3 antistasi
you may need to ask on antistasis development discord
at least I believe they have a dedicated one
have you tried just vanilla mission and being an admin?
you log in without password
if you do the steamid listing thing
Yea, I figured it out thank you
But now people can't connect using direct connect
They should be able to connect even if the steam query port isnt open?
so I wanted to setup a server for a 1v1 but UPnP doesnt work It says I have to change smth at my router I did it but still it doenst work
@golden crow
Looks like you need to forward your arma ports manually
y but how can u send me a good video ?
Video? Lol...
Google for "arma 3 ports" to find out which ports are needed.
Then Google for your router model and how to forward ports.
ez
ok I gonna try it
So most of the time when i try to set up a server and have my friends join they cant see my server like even if they type in the name and address it still doesn't come up in Friends/Internet. we also try connecting to a Hamachi server to be on Lan but still doesn't appear ?
I have the same issue as Sean there
made sure all ports are forwarded correctly
the server can be seen on steam but not in game
If you happen to have ipv6 and not ipv4 Internet connection then hosting is not possible I think. Thta you can check from your Internet provider
hello, where can i make a support ticket?
Support ticket? Is that an issue report?
Go ahead in #arma3_feedback_tracker and check the pinned
Oh wait there's no link there. Give me a bit
@pure bramble https://feedback.bistudio.com/
Preferred place to report issues
I watched some yt videos and It doesnt work I have a Ipv6, can I try smth else to play with my friends ?
Hi there,
I have the following error that is occurring when I start my dedicated Arma server (Linux with pterodactyl):
STARTUP_ERR: Specified server binary could not be found in files! Verify your Server Binary startup variable.
Any ideas from where it could come from?
