Mentally, physically, or videogame?

#

how long do you wait for it?

regal plinth
#

1-2 minutes

uncut trellis
#

give it some more time

regal plinth
#

@uncut trellis Its working now but why did it took so long?

uncut trellis
#

perhaps you had something slowing down your drive

#

is it on HDD or SSD?

#

or some external USB drive?

#

or something else

regal plinth
#

HDD

#

Also downloading game, but problem started before downloading

uncut trellis
#

possibly steam was doing stuff

clever sphinx
#

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.

wise barn
#

@clever sphinx
navigate to your game folder ..\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3 and try to run the arma3_x64.exe directly from there

clever sphinx
#

I just got back from trying, even ran as Admin. Issue still persist

#

@wise barn

grim tinsel
#

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

clever sphinx
#

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

clever sphinx
#

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.

uncut trellis
#

👍 that can indeed happen. happy gaming

wise barn
#

@fringe salmon
it must me set as the default input device in the windows settings

bitter dagger
#

You were kicked off the game (Player Name wrong signature for file addons/languagemissions_f_epc.pbo)

Why am i getting this error?

wise barn
#

possibly a corrupted game file. verify your game installation via steam

bitter dagger
#

Okay

#

thanks I'll post there

Click on it

#

no need to trouble shoot my thing. Figured it out.

gloomy mango
#

does your game randomly crashes when opening the map ?

#

or does it only happen to me

bitter dagger
fringe salmon
#

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

fringe salmon
#

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

wise barn
#

what are your specs, and what FPS you got?

kindred imp
#

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

wise barn
#

with that hardware, no surprise

kindred imp
#

CPU is 3.6 ghz

#

And the GPU is 4gb vram

wise barn
#

best you can do is autodetect graphics settings
lower viewdistance and disable PiP

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

kindred imp
#

The weird thing is, I had above 30 before installing the GPU

#

On lowest settings

steady hawk
#

Try to increase the settings instead

kindred imp
wise barn
#

don't use low settings. you shoft load away from your GPU to your CPU

wise barn
#

make sure you have your integrated graphics disabled in the bios and your monitor actually plugged into your GPU

kindred imp
#

Motinor is plugged into the GPU

#

No idea if my integrated graphics are disabled

wise barn
#

well, better check that in the bios.

kindred imp
#

I just autodetected my video settings

#

and the fps somehow went up

#

but its still at 20

#

-25

#

but it's still unplayable

wise barn
#

it is what it is then... won't get any better with your hardware

fringe salmon
#

This guide will help you greatly @kindred imp

desert isle
#

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.

fringe salmon
#

It actually gave me and my whole community a 20+ fps boost; It's basically the performance.exe + some minor tweaks

desert isle
#

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.

fringe salmon
#

That's something that I will test tomorrow and will get results back to you. You intrigued me now.

quaint jewel
#

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

wise barn
#

3.8 is not wise to do. logs are very useful

quaint jewel
#

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

fringe salmon
#

@quaint jewel how does someone get the performance .exe, if it still works

quaint jewel
#

it always works

fringe salmon
#

Thanks! I know someone who'll really benefit from this. Which version does it work up until? Or does it work for all?

quaint jewel
#

always current game version

fringe salmon
#

Sweet

#

What does it do in terms of performance? My brother's laptop barely meets the minimum spec

quaint jewel
fringe salmon
#

Yeah I should probably do that.

summer basin
#

cant load into my friends server

#

stuck there permanently

weary sky
#

Got any errors, or something in the log files?

summer basin
#

nope

#

could it be linked to battleye disabled?

weary sky
#

yes, although in that cause you would get a message about it

summer basin
#

both of us are running without battleye

#

so there should be no issue

weary sky
#

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.

summer basin
#

im just permanently stuck loading and cant join the server

weary sky
#

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

summer basin
#

where would i find that?

weary sky
summer basin
#

its over 2000 characters

#

where can i upload the file

#

sweet tangle
#

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

grave pivot
#

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?

fringe salmon
#

Does anyone know how to run Pingperfect setup for servers? I am having some real trouble working on these things.

#

@here

vast trout
#

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.

quaint jewel
fringe salmon
#

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

quaint jewel
#

can you tell more details about what you consider "frame shuttering" ?

#

low fps, short freezes?

fringe salmon
#

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

quaint jewel
#

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

fringe salmon
#

ith appends when the monitor is at 100hz and the game is less or more hz

wise barn
#

could be anything from driver issues, hardware (cable), GPU (temperature), graphics settings (ingame).....

#

don't lock your screen to 100Hz

fringe salmon
#

the thing is that i CANT locate a folder named "arma3.cfg" this is where i can change the game's,hz

quaint jewel
#

you don't change the game's framerate in arma3.cfg

fringe salmon
#

then where

quaint jewel
#

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

fringe salmon
#

its not the fps

#

its the hz, i have to have same hz on my monitor and the game

quaint jewel
#

hertz is the same thing as fps

fringe salmon
#

but there isnt any opton in-game to change the hz

wise barn
#

good luck

quaint jewel
#

30 hertz == 30 fps

uncut trellis
#

no game has that kind of setting

fringe salmon
#

@slow abyss i cant locate the folder "arma3.cfg

quaint jewel
#

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.

slow abyss
#

arma3.cfg is a file you edit, not a folder.

fringe salmon
#

yeah this thing

#

it isnt in my documents

#

my documents folder doesnt have anything in

quaint jewel
#

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
#

@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

slow abyss
#

good to know, dedmen

fringe salmon
#

but i cant find it

quaint jewel
#

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

wise barn
#

C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Arma 3

fringe salmon
#

dedmen i was on dm i didnt even seen that

quaint jewel
#

you replied directly to my messages in here, you saw it ^^

fringe salmon
#

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

fringe salmon
wise barn
#

no, not an issue. arma no matter the installation location will create profile folders in documents

#

search for arma3.cfg on your pc then

quaint jewel
#

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?

wise barn
#

sure, but if he insists to find it

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

quaint jewel
#

Never heard of a dispßlay going black for a second just because a game is running too high or low fps

wise barn
#

@fringe salmon knock yourself out by messing with the config file, or listen to dedmen... your call

fringe salmon
#

The things dedmen told me didnt work

#

My pc is still trying to find it

fringe salmon
fringe salmon
#

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

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

wise barn
#

1: don't use low settings, use autodetection
2: mods can have a performance impact
3: intense gunfights and explosions tend to dump FPS

fringe salmon
#

I used autodetection, i only used 1 mod (ACE), i just had 2 squads of 4 fight.

#

My friends get the same thing

wise barn
#

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

fringe salmon
#

Well it started happening to me after 2.0

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?

uncut trellis
#

wlbslur is for offensive/profane language

odd escarp
#

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

wise barn
#

@odd escarp
Only one person can BE ban on official Arma 3 servers (iirc), and that's Dwarden.

opaque basalt
#

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?

odd escarp
#

@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

weary sky
#

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

@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

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:

  1. 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 until Interact on the left-hand Quick Command(s) menu is replaced with Get In <helicopter name>, then press either of the Use Default Action (Space or Enter) or Use Selected Action (Middle Mouse Button) keybinds. (If you were mousing over on the map, you can simply click your Prim. Mouse Btn. while while Get In <helicopter name> appears.)
    OR
    2b) Press the Select Menu 4 keybind, upon which the Quick Commands menu should be replaced with a Mount menu giving a list of vehicles for them to enter, followed by the number corresponding to your helicopter, and finally the number for Anywhere, 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

# shadow ravine 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.

restive trail
#

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

gritty swallow
#

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.

make sure you have the correct version from the Steam Workshop and make sure it's up-to-date

including compat mods

@uncut trellis

running 400 mods at the same time is asking for problems

especially when you don't know what they can break 😉

does anyone know why my arma 3 tools crash whenever i try to open the object builder

uncut trellis
#

possibly you are trying to open a binarized p3d

#

which you cant do

#

as in unpacked from the game or mod files

wild hill
#

all i did was launch arma 3 tools and click on object editor

uncut trellis
#

then possibly your tools setup is somehow broken

wild hill
#

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

uncut trellis
#

Id recommend Armadocs tools and P drive setup guide

wild hill
#

could you link me to it?

uncut trellis
#

no, would have to google Armadocs

#

and its faster and less clicking for me if you do it yourself

wild hill
#

this?

uncut trellis
#

that would be the one

thanks

the rest of the docs is more for terrain making so far

@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.

charred quest
#

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.

weary sky
#

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

charred quest
#

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

fringe salmon
#

can I ask a question about mods here?

#

more specifically, ace combat?

steady hawk
#

Sure. I don't have the answer since didn't use it by myself tho

fringe salmon
#

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?

rustic sigil
# supple needle Join any official arma 3 server, and then you should have your emblem appear

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.

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.

wise barn
#

how does his problem looks like?

rustic pecan
#

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?

wise barn
#

what's his ping to the server?

does he use WLAN?

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)

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)

is your game installation on HDD or SSD?

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

that's your issue. put it on SSD to reduce / eliminate stuttering

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.

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.

You missed the most important thing to shoot the trouble. No idea what did you do, MODs, steps, whatevers

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

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 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.

-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.

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?

weary sky
#

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.

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?

weary sky
#

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

frigid dock
#

how would i do that?

weary sky
#

Close application and start it again? 🤦‍♂️

frigid dock
#

No

#

To find out if its actually installed

#

it says it downloaded a 247kb file to arma

#

idk what else that could be

weary sky
#

Did you try the 3 things I mentioned first?
Because Steam won't download stuff as long as Arma (or the launcher) is running

frigid dock
#

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

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

Ok so I need some help. I have a hotas t flight x, I recently purchased arma but I previously had it pirated cuz I was broke and couldn’t shell out the $120 for a full copy. 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.

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)

pine kite
#

@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.

round stirrup
#

I will do that. Thanks for your help.

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?

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 😉
