arma3_troubleshooting

[uncut trellis]

perhaps there is something broken there

could be worth a shot to test that too

just take backup of your current one

[sleek sky]

yep i did.

autodeteced is a yes too. also tried putting them all on low, same results.

(Bluescreen was because arma was still running, always BSOD's me when i open dxdiag while being in arma, just forgot it)

[uncut trellis]

that does not sound normal though

is your Arma installed on HDD or SSD?

do you have free disk space?

and actually what are your hardware specs?

[sleek sky]

GPU is a GTX 1070 TI
CPU I9-9900k
Arma runs on a SSD with 439GB space left
64GB DDR4 RAM

[uncut trellis]

those are hefty specs so you should not really be running into major issues

off the top of my head cant think of any other questions that could provide more insight into the matter. But going from the fact that most people have not had same issue that it could easily be something not Arma related

but Arma just suffers from it

[maiden grove]

exited a vehicle and my view distance isnt further than 5 meters

restarting didnt work

[uncut trellis]

mods?

[maiden grove]

yes

[uncut trellis]

what does the video settings say?

could be a mod problem

test without mods

[maiden grove]

CH view distance is set to max, Ace view distance as well, and default view distanced

[uncut trellis]

whats CH view distnace?

[maiden grove]

mod

how do i verify all my mods at once?

[uncut trellis]

did you try without mods?

and its quite possible its your many viewdistance mods conflicting with one another

or just some other mod

[maiden grove]

illsee without mods

works without mods

so its a mod issue

is there a way to validate all my mods at once?

[steady hawk]

Maybe work maybe not

[dusk estuary]

hey guys for some reason gunshots, footsteps, and vehicle noises can only be heard in my left ear but everything else like comms can be heard in both. my headphones work fine with everything else. anyone know a fix? i heard this is a problem with usb headsets and using my bluetooth headphones fixed the issue but is there nothing i can do to use my hyper x usb headset?

[uncut trellis]

no

[steady hawk]

Arma 3's known to have a hiccup with USB Headset. Unuse it

[uncut trellis]

or well if you have some surround sound thing on, disabling that could help

[dusk estuary]

yeah surround sound wasnt the problem. must be the usb. thanks guys

[sleek sky]

Does it? I only use usb headsets and never had audio issues lol

[uncut trellis]

not with all usb headsets

[sleek sky]

Never used hyperX tho, can't say anything about that unfortunately

[uncut trellis]

Some work, some don't. There is probably all kinds of technical differences with different models

[proud wedge]

IPv4 standard address

@pine kite

[uncut trellis]

portforwarding all done?

I recall I had to add some shenanningans to my firewall too to allow the connection

[proud wedge]

So there is no way to connect without portforwarding other than UPNP?

[lime pond]

Asking for a friend,

His Arma 3 when launched displays a "cloud error"

He has:
Verified files
Reinstalled on both his main and secondary PC's

what todo?

[uncut trellis]

possibly issue with connection to steam

[wise barn]

cloud error is connected to microsoft onedrive claiming rights or something
google has some tutorials

[lime pond]

okay, I'll check with him

[nocturne lichen]

Has anyone else had the problem of having their stuff wiped? For example: Their favorite servers, loadouts, ext?

Anyone had that problem and know of a way to fix it?

[astral carbon]

how do i use mods in editor

[steady hawk]

Depends on the MOD. If the MOD adds some untis/vehicles/assets, enable it via Launcher and it's done, you just need to find them

[astral carbon]

oh i get it

thanks a lot

[pine kite]

Nope, that is not a sufficient answer. there is no such thing as a standard address, there is a public and a private kind of address. The first 1 or 2 numbers between the dot tell which one it is.

[pine kite]

Port forwarding is the most direct way, login to your router and set it up. UPnP works for some, but only if it is not disabled in your router (it creates router security problems, unwanted programs may open holes without you knowing it ) So you might as well set up port forwarding 2302-2306 UDP there instead. Others use VPN software to be in the same network as friends. But this requires all of them to install the same software, which is something some of them might not be allowed/able to so you have more points where it will not work for those. Port forwarding is the least amount of settings and in a single place (the hoster's router) with the least of security vulnerabilities.

Unless your ISP does not provide you with an internet resolvable IPv4 address, but instead provides you with IPv6 address. As Arma cannot handle IPv6 addresses.

[dusty swan]

Hi there, i'm having trouble with setting up a mission.
When i put a player inside a vehicle the ai driver will not follow a way-point i put down but rather only listen to commands from the player.
Even if the ai is a higher rank than the player.
any solutions?

[normal ether]

I am getting massive lag spikes when I get in and out of vehicles. what should I do?

[grim tinsel]

Sounds like your profile file got borked and reset, not much you can do I think

[fringe salmon]

yo someone can help me? imma send pic in dm so text me

[regal flint]

Rcon: Error Rcon: Connection Reset by peer has anyone gotten this error when trying to lauch arma 3 breakingpoint mod?

My server briefly shows this in red, then crashes. Isn't Rcon Related to Battle-eye? I should have it disabled in config.cfg. So I cant tell if its realted to the RCON, my database, or game files. I get what looks kinda like a segfault and kernel panic.

I have tested the creds with copy paste from BreakingPointExt.ini to MySQL login and creds work, still says Connecting to Database Failed, I think its because of the Crash happening first But I dont know.

[nocturne lichen]

Rats, thank you! 😄

[daring tulip]

example number 3 of the waitUntil wiki gives me a Generic Errpr in Expression error: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/waitUntil

[quaint jewel]

What Arma problem do you want to troubleshoot?

If you want to report a wiki error that would be #community_wiki

But no, example number 3 is correct and doesn't have an error.
It probably errored with the "Cannot suspend" error (Just continue reading after "Generic Error")
Probably because you tried to execute it in unscheduled. You cannot wait in unscheduled.

[daring tulip]

Yeah I was probably calling it, gonna check it out again, sorry for the false alarm and thanks for clearing that up!

[quaint jewel]

Did you read your error from the onscreen message instead of RPT?

I still have a ticket that the on screen error doesn't show the full error message

[white cargo]

anyone know how to fix status access violiation

[prime brook]

Hi, I have a problem when I try to create a dedicaed server. When I join my server it starts loading and never ends. I have port fowarded ports 2344, 2345 (TCP) and 2302-2305, 2344 (UDP). I've benn following this tutorial: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Dedicated_Server. I'm also using a static IP

[grim tinsel]

take a look to see if the rpt log says anything @prime brook

[pine kite]

2306 is also needed for Battleye. If you have that running to enforce non-cheating then it might be holding up. Don't know if there is a specific error message for that case though.

[sleek sky]

Is something wrong with the workshop ?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1368857262
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=583496184

Both of these arent even near 7,4 GB but when we download the two steam says its 7,4 GB.

[quaint jewel]

download sizes on steam are often wrong

especially for large items

[sleek sky]

okie

[flint tiger]

what is the meaning of 0xC06D007E error on game exit ?
while pressing "exit game" instead of game just quit to desktop, it switches to terrain loading screen and only then exits with this error.

[quaint jewel]

no meaning

some crash

[flint tiger]

doesn't it show only the latest updated part size ?

[thorn widget]

what to do help when I go to the map in the editor it gives extencson ace_advenced_ballistics_x64 .dll not found

what to do?

[uncut trellis]

dont run mods or install correct mods

[thorn widget]

what ?

@uncut trellis

[uncut trellis]

that error means you dont have correct mods installed

[thorn widget]

why then the error says that ace ballistics was not found?

@uncut trellis

[uncut trellis]

because something you are loading is looking for it

logic

[thorn widget]

and the joke is where can I find the correct ones in the workshop, I downloaded there ace

[uncut trellis]

I dunno, maybe you downloaded something that is broken

[thorn widget]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=463939057

I don't know even downloaded from this source

[uncut trellis]

could be some other mod that is broken

[thorn widget]

but listen, he says something with ace, I think I can check the integrity of the files in steam, or it doesn't seem to be solved

or i can just start the game with ace only

[uncut trellis]

do you need ACE?

[thorn widget]

Yes

I have three options, that is, 1 do an integrity check 2 run only ACE 3 I don’t know

I will write if possible @uncut trellis

[thorn widget]

no, it didn’t work, it only ran with ACE, it didn’t work, it didn’t work.

@uncut trellis

[uncut trellis]

sorry got no other ideas on that ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[thorn widget]

ok ... thanks for helping

[green lava]

anyone know why aircraft will just start exploding when you load a mission?

i tried putting the ports in firewall but that didnt help

if anyone know something?

[rose galleon]

hello somebody helpme pls ?

[uncut trellis]

pls state the problem

no one can help if they dont know what the problem is

[rose galleon]

ı wont speak Ender Konakçı this man in working in support in bohemia

[uncut trellis]

if you need to contact the official support then you need to email them

[rose galleon]

ı need this man e mail can you help me ?

[uncut trellis]

unfortunately no. you can contact BI support here: https://support.bohemia.net

[weary sky]

or ask your question here, we most likely will answer faster and better

[brave hawk]

not nice for the man 😄

(regarding the "better" :p)

[fallen hound]

Hi, every time so often when I load into my game, the game assumes I'm "new" to arma 3 and resets all of the settings. Any ways how to fix that?

[uncut trellis]

sounds like something messes up your profile

[wise barn]

i'm not sure, but i think onedrive tends to 🦆 💩 up

[fringe salmon]

Hello everyone! I am building a mission on eden and I'm trying to hide the gps even if the player has it. I uncheck "show GPS" from the general attributes but it still shows the minimap when pressing ctrl+m. Is there a workaround to having a GPS but disabling the map?

[uncut trellis]

question. why do you want to have the gps but not use it?

it serves no purpose if you dont want to use it

[fringe salmon]

I want it to show the coordinates on the map, but not the minimap itself, especially since it shows exactly where the player is

in short, i want to have a way for a player to have a big map and coordinates. 123456, for example, but not "hey-im -exactly-here" minimap

[earnest heart]

Why not just use the big map then?

[fringe salmon]

I am sorry but looking back at my messages I didn't completely explain what I want. I have a mod (not sure which one, maybe one of the ACEs (?)) that shows the GPS coordinates when I open the standard map with M, but only if I have a GPS on me. What I want is to have both a standard map (the one you open with "M") and coordinates, but not the tom-tom style map that comes with the GPS. TLDR I only want a regular map and coordinates

[wise barn]

@fringe salmon
might work
On editor, Attributes > General > States > uncheck showGPS

[fringe salmon]

Thank you, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. The GPS map still can be seen for some reason. Maybe I'm forgetting to save or enable something really obvious

[wise barn]

same, but for description.ext
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Description.ext#showGPS

[fringe salmon]

Thanks, I'll try this and will let you know!

[fringe salmon]

Unfortunately, still does not work. I am looking around and some people have suggested that showGPS for some reason only works after the mission has started. So I'll try to link it with an event at the start of the mission and see what I can do

Since I can't seem to make it work, I was just thinking of forcing everyone on the server to have their gps key unassigned. Is there a way to do that without telling each individual what to do?

[queen pollen]

Hey just a question, im trying to host a private game for me and 2 friends but when my friends try to connect to the game they either cant find it at all or it says "server not responding", anyone know how to fix this?

[uncut trellis]

you need to set up portforwarding

[fallen hound]

Although there has nothing to have it essed up? I have space on my disk, I'm using one drive and so there is no reason for it to be broken

[uncut trellis]

one drive probably has something to do with it

[fallen hound]

Upon joining the server I get a prompt "Session lost - Verifying PBO Failed: @3CB Factions/addons/uk3cb_factions_aaf.pbo" Any ideas?

[grim tinsel]

Propably missing a mod or a corrupted download

[fallen hound]

Turns out the mod updated or some sort. I restarted my launcher, joined back, no luck, Right now I'm verifying my fiiles

[grim tinsel]

Oki

[fallen hound]

So. I verified my files and yet I still get the prompt, I'm fairly confident it's the server's issue.

[last kite]

So, I have been experiencing issues with the campaigns part of the game. Its been working for what 2 years now, but recently whenever I click on campaigns the game crashes. It send me back to the launcher. Everything else works, multiplayer, showcases etc. but anything under "Campaigns" I cant acces. Has anyone had a similar problem or know what to do? I saw some people on reddit that had similar or the same issues...

[unreal forge]

has anyone ever solved the issue of Ace causing vehicles in Antistasi not to move?

[weary sky]

Doesn't sound like an ACE issue to me 🤔

[unreal forge]

vehicles only don't work when I use Ace3

[weary sky]

Well, google would have given you the answer.. or even better, the official issue tracker if antistasi or ace
https://github.com/acemod/ACE3/issues/7857

[unreal forge]

yeah i've been googling it but theres no easy solution for it apparently

[lusty matrix]

Hello my friend is having an issue that won't let him launch the game from the launcher at all.

0xc000007

He gets a window saying the application failed to launch

with this error code

[wise barn]

@lusty matrix
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_process_exit

0xc000007 says absolutely nothing. there is more in the error message

beside that:

1. verify game files via steam
2. reinstall directX
3. reinstall vcredist for 2013

[lusty matrix]

I'm not sure how to reinstall directX anymore, all the download links on the microsoft website are missing now

and yeah it's 000007b

[uncut trellis]

there should be DX installer on Steams files

[lusty matrix]

I can't see any

done steps 1 and 3 with no luck

[uncut trellis]

you should have a folder like this somewhere in your steam folders

[lusty matrix]

got it thanks, attempting it now

Aaand it didnt work

Okay found out some stuff: Game launches in 32bit

[uncut trellis]

does your friend have 32bit or 64bit windows?

[lusty matrix]

64bit

[uncut trellis]

could try resetting the arma3 profile

and launcher settings too

it should by default start to 64bit game

so maybe your friend has messed around witth the launch parameters

[vagrant cradle]

has anyone run into the problem of not being able to download from armaholic? always comes back invalid session. i've tried different browsers, clearing cache like it says to do, and contacting them. still waiting on a response though. figured i'd ask here.

[weary sky]

No idea, most people use Steam Workshop because it's way more convenient.

[vagrant cradle]

unfortunately scripts can be hard to find on workshop, but i agree

[undone warren]

Hey I've a problem with my Arma.

Is there anyone that could give us a hand with it?

[weary sky]

if you tell your problem we might be able to help

[undone warren]

Well wherever I try to load up Arma it gives me a pop up, if you want I'll send a picture to your DMs as I doubt I'll be any good at explaining it.

But if not I'll try my best to explain it.

[weary sky]

you can upload the image somewhere and put the link here

or tell the error message you got

[undone warren]

Rog give us a sec

sorry this took so long

File C:\Users\caleb\OneDrive\Documents\arma 3\caleb.Arma3Profile.line 0: '.ctor': '-' encountered instead of '='

thats the msg that pops up

im not a computer guy so ngl im stumped

[weary sky]

Looks like something messed up your user profile; for which the only real solution is to remove that file.
Downside is; it also contains a lot of settings (including custom arsenals, SP campaign data and some gamemodes store stuff there) which will be lost.

You can try to manually fix it, but for that you need to know what you're doing

[undone warren]

rog so im just better off removing it and making a new one?

[weary sky]

actually; that file only stores your game settings, so simply empty it and see if it works

if not; also remove xxxx.vars.Arma3Profile and xxxx.3den.Arma3Profile

[undone warren]

sorry if it sounds like im an idiot but im basically brand new to computer so i've no clue what im doing... it would help if you told me to how to empty that file tho.

[weary sky]

open with Notepad, select everything (ALT+A), delete everything (BACKSPACE) and save the file (ALT+S)

[undone warren]

dude your a legend, thank you so much

[uncut trellis]

Arma profiles seem to have quite a bit of trouble with onedrive from what I've seen

I think there is a profile path setting in the launcher

[brave hawk]

how did you convert the video to ogv @dusky hill?

[dusky hill]

@brave hawk just a few random converters online.

[dusky hill]

got it

[brave hawk]

what was it?

[fringe salmon]

Is a SSD with 2 terabytes enough for Arma 3?

[wise barn]

yes

[daring yacht]

For sure. I have a 4tb one. It does fine for everything I need

[desert matrix]

Yo, what’s wrong with the workshop on steam! All the mods are gone!

The heck is happening?

Workshop seems fine to me @desert matrix

[distant wadi]

I'm having a problem in game, so I am in the editor and my character has a Face neckscarf equipped which is apart of a mod, but when I load into game and go into third person, I can't see it. Is this client sided? I can see it on other characters that have it

[frank apex]

The identity of a players character is overwritten by their profile, this includes voice, face, and glasses/facewear.
You'll either need to alter the characters identity, face, voice, glasses/facewear after the player has finished loading, which will overwrite the players profile overwrite of the original settings, or if it's specifically the glasses/facewear and your creating your mission on a version >= 2.04 then you can use allowProfileGlasses = 0; in the description.ext.

[distant wadi]

@frank apex How would I go about altering thier identity? As I cannot find the description.ext box

[steady hawk]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Description.ext
Also version 2.04 aka you can't do that right now in main branch

[distant wadi]

So how would I go about fixing it? Or is there just no way to

[steady hawk]

Manually do that via some commands later

[frank apex]

Use this command to remove any goggles added by the players profile,
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/removeGoggles
then use this command to add the goggles/facewear you want the player to have,
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addGoggles

[distant wadi]

Sorry I haven't used the editor in a bit, where do I put these commands?

[frank apex]

Identity in this context is the grouping of a characters face, voice, facewear, etc.

[distant wadi]

Alright

[frank apex]

You can put those in the init box of the unit.

Replacing player with this

[distant wadi]

Alright, I'll let you know if it works

alright

So I put both of them commands in the single units init box

[frank apex]

Yes, remember to place the remove before the add, or else you'll end up with nothing.

[steady hawk]

addGoggles overwrites the current goggle IIRC?

[distant wadi]

Do I replace the assaultDiver with whatever my unit is?

Or do I add the "this" where the assaultDiver is

Aye it worked, thank you so much for your help!

Also just one last thing, have any of you used the afghanistan map and had the buildings not load?

[steady hawk]

Not load how? Did you missed some MODs?

[distant wadi]

Like basically, the roads and terrains will load in, but the buildings won't, it's just their satelite images

Nevermind, I am an idiot.

[frank apex]

The wiki says "Create a new item and try to link it into goggles slot", so I assume that if the space is occupied then it will fail to link the new goggles.

Although linkItem specifically states that the item gets replaced.

No harm in removing first, then adding.

[opal elm]

Hey would anyone be willing to analyze a RPT and assist me in figuring out what caused the crash/how to fix?

[uncut trellis]

Put it in pastebin. Com nd link here and describe in detail what happened.

[exotic perch]

hi I just found out that I was unfairly permanently banned from one of the only populated co-op servers "no mods volition" server and even after being trolled and harassed on the server and reporting it to admins they called me the toxic one and perm banned me. this completely ruined my experienced and im shocked it even happened and im not sure what to do because it hurts me that i been a good player went above and beyond by helping others and giving them the jet slots when they asked for them, but then the admins do this to me the one time I get to fly when the server is populated and it just leaves me furious. I have tried to contact all admins but they sided with the trolls and badmins, and called me the toxic one. also i hope there is a warm place in hell for people like that

[urban hedge]

^ I feel your pain on that one man.

[exotic perch]

its definately my last bohemia game thats for sure

i just cant believe that even happened

im the one who got teamkilled too lmao like what in the actual hell

[uncut trellis]

official server?

its not like Bohemia controls every server and every people playing the game. I think you cant really blame them for it

[exotic perch]

for sure i meant the problem for me is the fact that server was the only populated server with decent ping in that category of missions and most other mission files are coded poorly and give really low fps. I love the game itself but I dislike how the community splits off and you are forced to play under their rules which has resulted in admins abusing their power on multiple different servers. Also I bought all the DLC but the mission makers almost always set the missions up wrong and give you only 1 jet slot and it always gets taken. So I just feel like all the money went to waste. As a pilot I could just go play DCS and have a better experience. Dont get me wrong though I used to love this game before it became full of toxic people

i do however hope one day the true owners can be notified of this issue and start getting rid of this badmins either that or some better servers can be put up

i just dont get why i paid 30 extra dollars on top of my 60 dollars already spent for a DLC to get in a jet just to get harassed, team killed, trolled, and then perm banned. everytime you hop in a jet on a high populated server its instant hate lol

[uncut trellis]

is this perhaps "Life" related?

[exotic perch]

no invade and annex out of all places

co-op ffs

i have the server name and admins names if you want too

[uncut trellis]

no Im just a member here just like you

[exotic perch]

man all these blue names

[uncut trellis]

they are all memembers too

just usually long time members

only green names are BI poeple

[exotic perch]

hmm not sure why im not a bluie then i owned this game since 2013

[uncut trellis]

its about being a contributing member here on the discord

not about how long youve been around

[exotic perch]

ah

[steady hawk]

Or contribution to the Arma community itself

[uncut trellis]

true

[exotic perch]

well then nvm cant say i do that other then being a good samaritan and player

if i give feedback i get banned

how u do it

[uncut trellis]

well private servers can be like that

[steady hawk]

I don't host a public server. Some may do like that, some don't

[exotic perch]

this server is volition server its like 60 players at day time

how does it have badmins on a server that high pop

if anything people shouldnt play there clearly

the children who admin there are cringe as hell

everytime i heard them speak i wanted to throw up tyhey were talking about ho they had 10k hours in arma etc etc

[steady hawk]

Better argue somewhere else IMO. It's not even related to the game, but the thing is just on the toxic community you said

[exotic perch]

im not arguing lol....

dude

me and my friend are having a convo over here

but you know you saying that was quite rude and i came here to ask for support on what could be done. the response i gave was not to you it was to @uncut trellis

anyways i was trying to say how they were saying they "had 10k hours in arma and that all rp pilots r gay etc"

[uncut trellis]

well I dont know the server so cant really comment on it. Public servers are like that, any one can put one up and people either play on it or dont

[steady hawk]

There's nothing we can do. Bohemians do have no responsibility to ban such communities unless it violates EULA or monetization rules

[uncut trellis]

well we as just community members would not have any power anyway.

but yeah all we can do is vote with our feet and play on servers that suit us

[exotic perch]

okay well it was worth a shot i guess rip to arma if no other good server pop up thanks anyways guys

[uncut trellis]

depending on where you connect from it can indeed be short pickings from time to time

[steady hawk]

Good luck then. I hope someone welcomes you

[uncut trellis]

you can always also try finding a community to play with in more organized way

#communities_arma3 can be a starting point for such quest

[exotic perch]

ill try that thanks a ton

[fringe salmon]

My friends and I can't join servers hosted by ourself by "Host server" option. It says "Server not responding"

[gentle charm]

Have same issue
Found out it’s my ISP blocking the ports the game needs so check router and any other thing like a fiber converter if u got that
u just have to make sure to have the ports the game needs opened on those

I don’t think I can fix the issue but
Do you have any sort of antivirus
I’ve had a somewhat similar issue some years back

[fringe salmon]

When I'm zeusing in an Offical Public Zeus server people who try to join always get "Steam authentication failed". It's obvious It's on my end and I'm not quite sure how to fix it :(

nothing you can do

Hey Everyone, so we were mid-mission whilst going through Tanoa and out of the blue the server just crashed. Heres the RPT: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11PuK26iPbaFu8n1hUMD3PN3GeAaSUq73E2vZDLb9ubc/edit

Make a feedback tracker ticket? with all the crash info (including the mdmp)

[barren delta]

When I try to host (without an actual payed for server) My friends can't see my server and when they join off steam it says "Server not Responding" been having this problem for a few hours haven't been able to figure it out.

p.s its a modded milsim server

[barren delta]

starting to think its a port forwarding problem even on Vanilla Arma I can't join or have anyone join me when I host

[frank apex]

If your router supports Universal Plug and Play, you can enable that when creating the local server.
If not then you'll need to port forward the ports used by the server.

[barren delta]

How would I enable it?

it was working yesterday and the 2 to 3 months before

[frank apex]

Is it a dedicated server or created in-game?

You'll need to login to your router, and then port forward UDP ports 2302 to 2305 to your computer/the server computers local IP.

[barren delta]

its created in game and I don't remember having to log on

but could that be why its not responding?

[frank apex]

Yes, if a client sends a request to the server, the router doesn't know where to send the data, so the server never gets the request.
Therefore the server can't respond to the request, which means to clients, the server is not responding.

When you create the local server, in the same menu where you name it and choose the port, there is a box you can click to enable UPnP.

Which will port forward for you if your router supports it.

[barren delta]

Ah okay, how do I log into my router you mean like the service provider?

[frank apex]

You said your creating the server in-game. So you can try enabling UPnP when you create the server.

[barren delta]

Yes I've always enabled that when creating the server in-game.

[frank apex]

And people still can't connect to your server?

[barren delta]

Yeah it completely doesn't show up

[frank apex]

Ok, go to 192.168.1.1 in a web browser and then login with the credentials on the back of your router.

[barren delta]

What kind of link is that

[frank apex]

It's a local IP

[barren delta]

ah ok

[frank apex]

It connects to your router

[barren delta]

hold on gonna do it now

I'm connected I see my router info

[frank apex]

Look for something called NAT or Virtual Servers

[barren delta]

doesnt say anything like that

just "apply" "cancel and preform later" which signed me out

[frank apex]

What router do you have?

[barren delta]

its like a basic verizon one I'd have to look up the name

Verizon G1100

[frank apex]

Try following this,
https://portforward.com/verizon/fios-quantum-gateway/

[barren delta]

Lol says exactly what you said

"Go to port forwarding section"

gonna try again hold up

[fringe salmon]

arma 3 launcher stuck on "initializing mods management"

and almost all addons i can see are corrupted/having that red exclamation mark

[opal elm]

How does one do that

[velvet geode]

i REALLY need help right now and tried everything in mind. My mic won't work and it seems like everything works except my mic in arma 3. I'm lost and new to arma but got most controls figured out (Main general binds) someone please help me for this, it's been a bother for days for me.

[wise barn]

@velvet geode
Your mic must be set as default input device in the windows sound options

[long hawk]

Hello, does anyone know how to connect to a server using mobile data in the UK? I have tried but i get stuck on the map loading screen after entering a password

[uncut trellis]

There are no special setup for mobile data.

[short island]

no clue why but every time I start a game inside a plane my scenario gets stuck in the loading screen

[uncut trellis]

mods?

[fringe salmon]

@brave hawk i switched my arma 3 to HDD from SSD because it was eating the entire SSD, after that all my mods corrupted, worth 30gb of mods are corrupted, how do i fix this without repairing them all 1 by 1

[brave hawk]

try checking the game files with Steam, idk

[red valley]

Probably a bit late but try https://github.com/gyf304/lpvpn

[barren delta]

Lol thanks alot but we figured it out :)

@red valley

[red valley]

Good to know

[acoustic ermine]

Hey uhh so I completed the tutorial missions, quit the game and booted it up. Now it wants me to go through the tutorial mission again. Is there any way to skip this?

[forest ember]

Bootcamp?

[heavy crypt]

Yo anyone know what “[ACE] ERROR:
Extension ace_advanced_ballistics_x64.dll not found.” Means? And when I start the game it ends the mission so I cant play with ACE, and that suks

[quaint jewel]

thats a dll file in the @ace mod folder

Sometimes battleye blocks it. Arma Launcher should list that in the battleye log if thats the problem

[grim tinsel]

that poor guy has gotten so many pings by now

[heavy crypt]

Oh ok, I fixed it

[acoustic ermine]

uhh i've done one mission from the east wind specifically, i quit the game and boot it up, then the game wants me to go through the vr training again and yeah the bootcamp, i know it saved because it was autosaving during the one mission on the east wind

[pine kite]

You should be able to define different ports for the gameserver. It's just a nuisance for your friends if they have to enter non-default. But maybe the launcher remembers it, not sure.

[surreal dirge]

Question, When i try and join my server it says Kicked off the game as it gives us no reason? any solutions?

[misty hinge]

hi guys am i allowed to ask for support in this channel

[weary sky]

if you have a problem with Arma you can ask your ask your questions here

[misty hinge]

ok so i just got 2 error msgs in game 1 is about my ds3 cars and after that it says arma 3 has exited in a unusal manner here are the pics exit code 0x000DEAD the other says include file ds3_cars_core 18/ marcos.htpp not found if anyone can help me figure this out please let me know thanks from csimms

[misty hinge]

if you guys need some kind of log i will post it tomorrow since i have to go for the night

[acoustic ermine]

Hey uh

I finished the prologue, but I can't seem to start the first mission of the east wind campaign.

It just sends me back to my last save

Nvm I temporarily fixed it by clicking revert :/

[stone locust]

yo. is the Workshop gone or something?
everytime i try to load it, it either redirects me back to the community page, or it spits out something about hidden content.
it's also gone from the community page

any existing mods i had previously installed can still be loaded n stuff.

[uncut trellis]

probably a steam bug

[stone locust]

Seems to be back now. what a weird thing.

yeah probably just a random steam thing, seems to be happening a lot recently.

[forest ember]

the steam workshop is soooooooooooooo slow for me

using the website is quite literally 10x faster for me

[dark beacon]

steam hamsters have fallen off their wheels and are trying to hop back on

[pulsar schooner]

yeah the arma workshop just completely disappeared for me lol

[forest ember]

I don't think you can do that.

If they're in the driver seat, natural behaviour will be to turn on the engine.

They shouldn't spin around in circles...

Have you commanded them to "stop"?

[light ibex]

cant access the workshop either

[forest ember]

Try it

[thorny relic]

Does anyone have a fix for my joystick (I have a logitec X56) it recognises both the throttle and the stick as the same axis

[chrome bluff]

Hi there, got a problem with mod download. my steam tries to redownload 60gigs of workshop items, even if it is allready there in my Workshop folder. Is there any way to verify it again?

[earnest olive]

is anyone else having problems with joining dedicated servers ?

[quaint jewel]

@earnest olive did you and the server install todays update?

[earnest olive]

that wouldve have been a good idea 😆

[chilly stone]

Is there a way to disable ALL hud?

I'm trying to film something and that HUD is really bothering me

[limpid smelt]

There's a mod on the workshop called VileHUD that makes a keybind that removes UI

[hollow sun]

I'm trying find assets in the eden editor for global mobilization, however I don't know what it's under. What I mean is DLC Jets is mod jets, DLC Marksman is mod mark, etc. does anyone know it is hidden under?

[cunning thistle]

Is that normal that i lost all of my loadout and missions files after the update (its removed by the update) or just its in another folder?

[hasty ridge]

Hey, can anyone help me with some mission files and port-forwading?

[buoyant rose]

Ok so the version 2.02 update server side came out, updated server, now it just says version mismatch. Am confused lol.

[quaint jewel]

u sure you updated the server?

Version is 2.02.
Version number is shown in your server log when you start it

[buoyant rose]

Yeah I’m sure... so weird

[cunning thistle]

why the menü screen is zoomed in(i mean its like forced to be bigger than the normal)?

[grim tinsel]

sounds like your profile file might have been corrupted, that can also cause your settings to be reverted to default

[cunning thistle]

yeah. its might be something like that, cause i had to turne of the motion blur again

and thanksfully i found the mission files in the profile folders

[buoyant rose]

So update, the server log says 2.0, but all the files say 2.02. Sorry I’m new to this.

[quaint jewel]

how did you update? steamcmd?

[buoyant rose]

Yes

[quaint jewel]

did you add the validate at the end?

app_update 233780 validate

[buoyant rose]

Trying to find out. Sorry.

app_update 233780 validate. That’s what was in there.

[short anvil]

this the place to come to when steamcmd update breaks all your servers?

[cunning thistle]

if i change my profile setting my game is crash out whit an error messenge: Arma 3 has exited in an unsusual manner, whit the exit code: 0xC0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION

[buoyant rose]

Where am I supposed to move the files afterwards?

[short anvil]

you ran the batch file to update your server files?

SET A3serverPath=F:\Server\gulfcoast <-- SET A3serverPath will put them where they need to go

[buoyant rose]

Do I put that in steamcmd?

[short anvil]

you can use the force_install_dir C:\PathToServer

if you're only running steamcmd

but there's a batchfile that will do it all for you

https://github.com/ThomasTKO/Server-Install/blob/master/Arma3/A3Files/serverupdate.bat

Thomas has one

[buoyant rose]

Ok I’ll have to play with it later, gotta go to work. Thanks for your help guys.

[graceful ore]

@nova rampart bro add me as a friend on discord. I can help you out

[wise barn]

easy: don't play low class rip mods like 3DS cars

full of ripped BS

[misty hinge]

it is there cars better then that

cause they worked before

[steady hawk]

Vanilla vehicles.

[misty hinge]

ok il look that up

[fringe salmon]

Hello good night, I have a problem with the game, what happens is that it does not load me, it stares at the landscape in front of it already when I am in game, and it remains as if it were a moving wallpaper, I have all the dlc`s, except the one that came out a few hours ago.

I have 196 mods loaded, and I have looked at each one of them 1 by 1, and I have not seen anything strange, no errors, or anything, and I do not know what happens

[steady hawk]

1. Do not crosspost as in #rules
2. Make sure it's not happening in vanilla

[buoyant rose]

ok so im back. i have a MilSim server that is not working. it says server mismatch. the updated files are in our arma server folder. not sure why its saying this.

ive updated to 2.02, it says 2.02 in the accual files, but when i try to launch the server it says 2.0 still

[glad brook]

Hi,my Arma 3 has encounter an error called 0x000DEAD thing,It happened when i play arma for the 4th time,it reach Initializing Addons then the error happened,pls help me so i can play Arma,tks

[forest ember]

Two things you should try.
First, unload all mods in the launcher and try. If it works, there is a corrupt or a broken mod?
If not, try verifying your game cache to ensure you don’t have missing/corrupt game files.

[glad brook]

i'll try lad

[forest ember]

Are you running the server through the client or is it dedicated?

[glad brook]

It said this:

"File C:\jtcal\OneDrive\Documents\Arma3\jtcal.Arma3Profile, line 0: ',': (question mark sign)' ecountered instead of '='

i have no mods

[steady hawk]

OneDrive has some hiccup with Arma 3 IIRC

[glad brook]

mhm.so what to do know 🤔

[quaint jewel]

the server .exe you're launching didn't update then.
Try deleting it and forcing steam to redownload it

[quaint jewel]

open that file and check how it looks like.
Yes it could be caused by OneDrive

[glad brook]

Where can i post it

[grim tinsel]

if you want to post it somewhere to share it you can upload it to pastebin

[glad brook]

Oh pastebin,i know those but forgot how to do that tho

[quaint jewel]

don't really need to upload it

if you open it in notepad, and it looks like normal human readable text, without that question mark sign then its fine

your message above sounds like its a corrupted garbled mess

[glad brook]

Oh sure,let me do it rn

[glad brook]

Its 12:00 am in my country and i want to sleep

[grim tinsel]

Feel free to sleep, this can be done on any other day aswell

[quaint jewel]

good night, sleep well

[grim tinsel]

Any mods? @fringe salmon

Make a feedback tracker ticket with the error code and crash logs please

[glad brook]

I'm back, so about that notepad thing, the words are not normal human words but a random weird text

[grim tinsel]

ye sounds like like the profile file was corrupted

[glad brook]

So what now

Oh wait nvm

Is it the

Language, force adapter,etc

[glad brook]

Update:
ITS NOW FUCKING FIXED
What i did is i changed my username,thats all,thank you dedmen and Pi for helping me :).

[grim tinsel]

have fun with the game

[glad brook]

:)

[fringe salmon]

anyone I have an issue where Arma 3 will sit at Loading Core Configs. As soon as it starts It will go straight to Not responding. It's not like when you tab out of the launcher and it still loads. It's like actually crashed. Dedman already tried to help me with no success (thanks for trying). I need to try and get this running as soon as possible. I've verified game files luanched through steam and arma3.exe no mods or with mods and the same issue happens.

[grim tinsel]

Are you on the default branch or one of the special beta branches in steam?

[fringe salmon]

most recent attempt to launch was on the default branch

Same issue on the dev branch. Legacy 2.0 to be specific

[grim tinsel]

Huh

[fringe salmon]

I've tried reinstalling the entire game same issue.

started after the patch

Was able to launch the game once after the patch keyboard wasn't being read by arma so I restarted the game and it never launched after that

[quaint jewel]

one idea

go to My Documents/Arma 3

or.. Just rename the "Arma 3" folder to something like "Arma 3 Backup" and see if your game launches then

all your video/keybind settings are in there

[half ivy]

just setup a dedicated server for some friends to play in and we're running into the issue of Zeus unable to add editable objects or even get updated, we have enable the settings to update or add editable objects.
Using ZEN and ACE

[tranquil gulch]

Could someone, give me a hand, I have a crate in my base that I got from a nato outpost in Antistasi BUT It's stuck floating in the air. I can't transfer loot or anything 😐

[fringe salmon]

I ended up figuring it out it was a courrupted cache that steam didn't catch for whatever reason

[misty hinge]

(update on my post) yesterday hey guys can anyone help me rn i still got these 2 error msgs in game 1 is about my ds3 cars i just unstalled btw and after that it says arma 3 has exited in a unusal manner exit code 0x000DEAD the other says include file ds3_cars_core 18/ marcos.htpp not found it still comes up even after i got rid of all my d3s cars stuff if anyone can help me figure this out please let me know thanks from csimms if anyone need the pics i screen shot them but i cant send them in this channel for some reason

[quaint jewel]

Some mod requires ds3_cars_core 18 mod, but you didn't load that mod

[misty hinge]

@quaint jewel were can i get ds cars core 18 at

cause i cant find it on the workshop

[weary sky]

It's one of the files in one if the mods you removed...

So either redownload it, or remove the mod which needs it

[misty hinge]

ok do u know the mod name

that i need

[quaint jewel]

Read.

you wrote that yourself

its the name in the error message that arma gave you

[misty hinge]

oh its d3s car pack

is that the right one

[weary sky]

How should we know?

[wise barn]

F that car pack. full of ripped BS anyway

[misty hinge]

can i at least send pics of the errors

[quaint jewel]

Why send a pic of a piece of text that you already posted here

[misty hinge]

idk i tried everything to fix it like uninstalling d3s cars and the error still comes up with the car pack installed or uninstalled

[weary sky]

Because you have another mod which requires the mod you removed

[misty hinge]

and like i said i reinstalled the mods i removed

[weary sky]

perhaps the mod in question got DMCA'd and can't be downloaded anymore (which wouldn't surprise me with 3DS)

[misty hinge]

@weary sky i will go on arma fourms and see what they say

[grim tinsel]

I didnt read the full chatlog, but what are you expecting the forum peeps to do?

[uncut trellis]

We are basically same people here as there.

[misty hinge]

@grim tinsel @uncut trellis aam i able to send u both pics of the errors i got cause i have 2 errors and im not getting what the others are saying

[grim tinsel]

You can upload the image to a website like imgur and then link it here

[misty hinge]

ok i will

here is the link https://imgur.com/a/m81gmF3

[quaint jewel]

^

[grim tinsel]

yeah you just need to figure out the mod that is trying to load the d3s pack

and then disable that mod

[misty hinge]

is there a log i can look at

i dont know were i can i find a log like an error log

[quaint jewel]

!rpt

[rustic eagle]

[uncut trellis]

ooh

[quaint jewel]

But it won't help you.

[uncut trellis]

Life mods are notoriously badly made and prone to get removed due to illegal content

like the ds3 cars

[grim tinsel]

rpt command

[quaint jewel]

I could invest time and figure the issue out for you.
But why should I help you with getting illegal content that hurts most modders.

[misty hinge]

im not getting illegal content its all from the steam workshop

[grim tinsel]

d3s contains illegal stuff

[quaint jewel]

There is illegal content on the workshop.
Unlimited amounts of it. And constantly new stuff being added.

[misty hinge]

wich i did not know of til now

and what is rpt

#arma3_troubleshooting message

[misty hinge]

oh i thought it was a report button

[forest ember]

East Wind started crashing Arma all of a sudden 😢

[misty hinge]

Well I Think I’m gonna do is start over from scratch and keep an eye on things with my mods and make sure anything doesn’t go wrong and check and make sure that they are not illegal which I didn’t know LOL

[uncut trellis]

are you really using all the mods you have there?

as you cant join servers with just any mods loaded but you must have the specifc mods that the server is using

[misty hinge]

Some I do sometimes I don’t

[forest ember]

I have a status violation error on Arma when I resume East Wind. Will starting East Wind from scratch fix this issue or will I just be wasting my time?

[stark patio]

Hello
Anyone else experiencing Auto Kick by BattleEye after 60seconds in game ?

strange, got kicked once, then reconnected and didn't get kicked

Strange, didn't happen again on another server.

[fresh quest]

@stark patio ay, multiple people in our community
Either Query Timeout or Client not responding

[fringe salmon]

I installed some Scenario's and it wont install them
mods works fine
Mods does install
But when I click subscribe on a Scenario, Nothing happens

And it won't show in ARMA launcher mod section that it's downloading the Scenario
It shows it downloading the MODS

so idk

[fresh quest]

They are shown in the Mission/Scenario selection screens accordingly

In game

[fringe salmon]

But it won't show that it's installing in ARMA launcher mod section
Is that ok?

So I can't load it

[fresh quest]

You start the game and go to Singleplayer->Scenario or Multiplayer->Host Server

[fringe salmon]

Ok

FYI
Until few hours ago it worked fine
I know how to play Scenario's and it showed it's installing in launcher

thx

[fresh quest]

It sometimes doesnt show for me in the launcher, but is available in the scenario selection

[fringe salmon]

ok thank you

Just downloaded unsung mod
14GB
😦

[fresh quest]

Do you mean the scenarios INSIDE Unsung or additional ones?

[fringe salmon]

i think additional ones

yep

[fresh quest]

Singleplayer?

If yes there is a checkbox on the units thats called Player and playable, you need to check player on at least 1 of the desired units and playable on all desired(remove those checks on the ones you dont want)

[fringe salmon]

Hey my friend is trying to host a server off of his computer. He checked if all the ports necessary are forwarded, They are but the server isn't showing up for me or my other friends. Does anyone know what the issue could be?

[fresh quest]

check if he has an outside IPv6 than it might be that he has DualStack Lite wich doesnt allow port forwarding -> contact ISP for possible change

[weary sky]

DSL Lite does allow port forwarding, but since its not a real IPv4 address (which is required for Arma) it doesn't work

[fresh quest]

(DualStack is when you get a unique IPv4 AND unique IPv6, so you can use both simultaniously, Dual Stack Lite is you get a unique IPv6 but a shared IPv4, you share it with other people on the internet)

[fringe salmon]

He does not have that

[fresh quest]

so he has no IPv6 at all?

[fringe salmon]

wait one

[weary sky]

can you use direct connect to his IP/port?

[fringe salmon]

The server doesn't show up there which is what the problem is

[weary sky]

but can you connect with direct connect?

[fringe salmon]

No server dosen't show up when I put the ip and port

[frank apex]

Make sure windows firewall isn't blocking Arma as well.

[fringe salmon]

I was able to connect to it yesterday so I don't know why the firewall would just randomly block it but I'll check

[fresh quest]

maybe his IP changed(could be just human error)

[frank apex]

http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamApps/GetServersAtAddress/v0001?addr=123.45.67.89
You can use this URL to check if a server is connected to Steam, just replace the address at the end with the servers public IP address.

[fringe salmon]

Ok so one of my other friends joined through steam friends list but me and another friend can't

[frank apex]

Is the other friend and the server on the same network?

[fringe salmon]

no

[frank apex]

Does it say "Server not responding" for you?

[fringe salmon]

Yes

[frank apex]

And for the other friend it shows the list of players?

[fringe salmon]

hold on

Dosen’t work for him now either

Says he joined through steam when the game wasn’t open. Dosen’t work in game or out of game now

We figured it out

[frank apex]

What was the issue in the end?

[fringe salmon]

Mod

Don’t know how or why but yea

[vast geyser]

Anyone know how to fix the battleye kick on our server, either "Query Timeout or Client not responding".

The battleye kicks just started happening after the last update. We didnt change anything on the servers.

I have tried verifying Arma3 & reinstalling Battleye. The only fix I can think of for now is to turn off Battleye. Having no Battleye will kill the server with hackers. They seem to flock like seagulls to chips when you turn off battleye.

[vast geyser]

+++++

I think Batteye kick - "Client not responding" might have something to do with having mission rotations. I noticed the kick usually happens on the second map, just before you download the next mission file.

I am going cowboy & turning off battleye until someone finds a fix.

[vast geyser]

+++++++++++++++++++

Scrap that idea of battleye kicking on mutli mission servers. Players are getting kicked on our exile kapaulio map server as well.

[fresh quest]

It seems to be an ON/OFF issue right now

[minor shoal]

me and my freind are trying to do a mission together so he makes the server but then i can not find it

[vernal grove]

@minor shoal did you port forward?

You have to port forward with UPnP to host servers.

[minor shoal]

what does port forward mean???

[uncut trellis]

opening the network ports the game requires in your router for the connections to work

[minor shoal]

oh

so i need to open the prts on my router

*ports

[uncut trellis]

no your friend needs

[minor shoal]

oh

ok

[uncut trellis]

there are guides for that for most router models online

[minor shoal]

ok thx

[vernal grove]

Yep! He’s got it.

If you still have issues let us know.

[fringe salmon]

i need help

i keep getting a error with the code 0xc000001

how do i changee it to win 7?

do i need to change this at the .eexe or launcher .exee?

[wise barn]

it basically comes down to this:

• validate your game installation via steam
• reinstall directX and vcredist for 2013
• unload (not uninstall) all mods and run the game vanilla for further troubleshooting

Hi, since updating my Arma 3 server(s) to 2.02, if I add either one of the following 4 mods, it causes ALL mods to display as signature mismatch in the server browser of the Launcher.
FA-18, USAF main, Secret Weapons and USAF Fighters. Any ideas from anyone?

[quaint jewel]

Does the launcher say it couldn't retrieve all signatures?

[rigid umbra]

"Server can't transmit all data; some allowed mods might be missing or their signatures not recognized"

[quaint jewel]

Well there ya go

There's a server.cfg entry to increase the amount of data the server can send

Check the wiki page

[rigid umbra]

It shows as fine in the in game server browser if i have the mods already loaded. But sure, I will check to see if this helps.

I must add, I was running these 4 mods absolutely fine before updating the server to 2.02 and my test server is running 2 more mods than the live server and is having the same issue with just these 4 mods.

[quaint jewel]

2.02 has one extra DLC that now needs to be listed

That means less space for mods

[rigid umbra]

4 mods?

[quaint jewel]

Depends on the mods

[rigid umbra]

Even when i removed other mods and tried just these mods, I got the same thing

[quaint jewel]

It's not number of loaded mods.
Names of mods, number and names of allowed signatures

[rigid umbra]

Ah right

Okay, makes sense

I appreciate your time here Dedmen 🙂

Funny since i was already running steamProtocolMaxDataSize = 1152; but i have upped it and it seems to be helping 😄

[fringe salmon]

still got the 00000f error eeven affter a hard reinstall. this neew update completeely scrrambled my game

i tried aall fixes

[fresh quest]

[fringe salmon]

you want all of em? i have 21 of the buggers

[grim tinsel]

only the newest one with the issue

[fringe salmon]

this all hapened AFTER they pushed the new dlc. beefore i had no problem. dont they do system tests??? thid iid making my blood boil

[grim tinsel]

dont they do system tests???
everything BI releases goes through QA and is tested, that doesnt mean that they'll find every issue caused by any combination of hard- or software

You're also the first person I hear off that had a CTD caused by AoW

so as dedmen said please make that feedback tracker ticket so the issue can be investigated by the devs

[fringe salmon]

i have 21 of them

[grim tinsel]

21 feedback tracker tickets ?

[quaint jewel]

We do, you are the first since update who has that issue. While several thousand players have played just fine since the update

[fringe salmon]

i used thee commpatibiility problem solving thing from windows itseelf and reverted a3 to win 8

[quaint jewel]

it not working for you doesn't mean we didn't test and also doesn't mean that everyone has the problem

[fringe salmon]

[vast geyser]

Anyone know how to fix the battleye kick on our server, either "Query Timeout or Client not responding".

The battleye kicks just started happening after the last update. It happens on escape servers when you have mission rotation. Players get kicked when the second map starts, just before you enter the lobby.

We didnt change anything on the servers. I have tried verifying Arma3 & reinstalling Battleye. The only fix I can think of for now is to turn off Battleye. Having no Battleye will kill the server with hackers. They seem to flock like seagulls to chips when you turn off battleye.

[fringe salmon]

Hi All, I am having issues with my mods, it keeps saying there is a signature mismatch issue however I have updated all mods and copied them into my server dir. Anyone else have this issue?

[vast geyser]

@fringe salmon check the mods remote folders with your steam workshop local folders. Use filezilla and you can compare the folders using control +o.

Also check you have all the server mods kays in the server keys folder (found in your server root directory.

[fringe salmon]

Yeah I believe all the keys are there, I will check further. Thank you

[vast geyser]

@fringe salmon no worries, the server logs will tell you which mod is not all there.

Also make sure the server is updated, arma3 updated a few days ago.

[haughty parrot]

hey can somone help me out when i go into the hud editor it dosent show the vehicle panels

[shell cipher]

Hey all, I screwed up and didn't set up a mod preset for my Old Man save file. is there a way to check the save file for a mod list?

[haughty parrot]

i fixed it for the most part just the wepons modual thing is gone

[fringe salmon]

Hi All, i now get a green light on my mods which is an improvement from red. But the issue I am having now is that whatever the last mod in the list is doesn't load, I get the error can't find .pbo. I delete it from the startup bat and then whatever the last mod is now does the same error. It's driving me Nuts. lol

[fringe salmon]

I'm using the a3 launcher that I downloaded and every time I try to join a server I get this error. I've searched up countless videos and can't find a fix. Help would be greatly appreciated 🙂

you're welcome

[surreal dirge]

So when I try to join my server it says "you were kicked off the game." any one have solutions about this one?

[steady hawk]

Specifically. What does the error says

[surreal dirge]

So I go and connect and I'm looking over at my vps as well it says Connecting, Connected, Disconnected. And on my side joining it, it goes to You were kicked off the game. no error message displayed just says that.

[steady hawk]

You were kicked off the game
Specifically. What does it says

[surreal dirge]

That is actually all it says just pops up with the box with close on the bottom left

[steady hawk]

That's all?

[surreal dirge]

yes

[steady hawk]

Then you were kicked off from the server I guess. Don't know which server you're joining in to though

[surreal dirge]

Okay, well it just gets confusing to me since i have never seen the error and I dont know what could be kicking me off of my own server. Well thanks for the time.

[steady hawk]

Your own?

[surreal dirge]

yes

[steady hawk]

Mhm

I'm not really good at server hosting at all so can wait for someone else

[surreal dirge]

Okay well thanks for attempting to help me

[steady hawk]

Ah sorry I'm blind, you said it's your own server at the first post

[surreal dirge]

All good man!

[near hollow]

Hey guys
Is it a known issue that when i join a mp game i.e. our server
And respawn yada yada

If I back out to lobby I can't seem to select another role and re deploy

I have to exit the server entirely and re join again

[forest ember]

Idk I’ve never had that issue personally

Can others reselect roles or is it just you?

[near hollow]

I've asked a friend to try

[narrow reef]

Are you hosting a map you got from another server? If so, you may be running a map where the mission maker has included scripting to kick for using certain mods.

[fringe salmon]

Hey all, could someone help me fix this error please.

ERROR: File ace_compat_adr_97.pbo is outdated.

[uncut trellis]

your pbo is old, you need to find up to date one

[fringe salmon]

Yeah I was using the wrong ace, I found this for those who need the right one.

https://steamcommunity.com/id/acemod/myworkshopfiles/?appid=107410

[surreal dirge]

I have even done it without the map or with a vanilla map with no mods on as well

[fringe salmon]

Ok got another issue, sorry for all the questions but it's good to learn. Anyway, anyone know what's causing this one?

I'm having trouble with FPS degrading to 15-20 within ~20 minutes after starting a game, SP and MP. HW is not an issue based on specs and adjusting settings to very low values. diag_captureFrame seems to point to "Remove Stamina" mod that is a part of our unit's combined mod. No one else has had similar problems. Any idea on what to poke next?

More info: https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/187603-will-my-pc-run-arma3-what-cpugpu-to-get-what-settings-what-system-specifications/?do=findComment&comment=3431636

[quaint jewel]

The capture frame log you posted is useless, its missing the indentation, which is requoired to be able to interpret the ouput

and it also seems to be mixed up alot

the order of entries makes no sense

[winter vault]

Alright, I will redo the log with indentation. Haven't used the command before, so not familiar with what could cause the order to be whack.

[quaint jewel]

its easier to just browse in the UI

and just find what seems to be doing the most

scripts shouldn't be able to run for more than 3ms, your log on one hand says it took 26ms for that "remove stamina" script, but it also said it took only 3ms for ALL scripts combined.
So that doesn't make any sense

[winter vault]

Hmm, so what I ran was "diag_captureFrame 24". Was this incorrect?

[quaint jewel]

the number behind it just gives the delay, it doesn't matter

I prefer captureSlowFrame as it actually shows you the bad frame if you have lag spikes

Greetings gentlemen! Prompt any antivirus program finds tr.atraps.gen in arma3battleye.exe because of this I can not start the game for a long time. BI technical support unsubscribes for updates. Who solved this problem?
I cleaned and reinstalled everything I could.
Problem still exists.

[fresh quest]

@storm arch that might be a false positive as BE in its functionality might trip heuristic detection, you can check the file it self on for example VirusTotal, it scans the file with multiple AVs and gives you the results

If it is a false positiv just whitelist it in the Av

[storm arch]

There is no possibility to scan, as the antivirus deletes the file itself

[fresh quest]

Hmm

What AV?

[storm arch]

Kaspersky, NOD, Bitdef, Avira, Dr Web and more

[fresh quest]

You have them all installed at the same time?

(Just curious)

[storm arch]

Not. Installed and scanned.

I wrote a list of what antiviruses I tried to scan

[fresh quest]

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/7d4874a46412cd3d5c2e23b4169cc516df7f7088571d56a4abd9dc586e9619eb/detection

the 7d... is the sha256 of my file

you could set a temporary whitelist and check if you even have the same file

[storm arch]

I tried to whitelist it, while scanning the antivirus it immediately deleted it as an infected and dangerous file. Only tr.atraps.gen in arma3battleye.exe remains in the quarantine files

[fresh quest]

hmm

have you tried to disable heuristic in your AV?

it sometimes has a proprietary name like smart detection or similar

are you downloading the game via Steam?

[storm arch]

Yes, steam

[storm arch]

Hmmm, no, as an option you can try. It won't get worse

[fresh quest]

the heuristic algorithms of some AVs are way to agressive (i mean thats the whole point) but that creates a ton of false positives

[storm arch]

Although I tried to uninstall the antivirus and download the game, after installing the antivirus, the BE file was mercilessly deleted by it

[simple flint]

Has anyone dealt with this before?

Inside (1st person) vehicles my audio gets bugged and i`m getting massive framedrops/ freezes. When I switch back to 3rd person everything restores to normal.

• Only happens on 64-bit, 32-bit is fine (audio wise)
• Only happens with USB audio device. Having 3,5mm audio output solves this issue. Thing is, my gaming usb headset is the only thing with a microphone and thus I need it to play ops.
• Happens with both vanilla vehicles and modded ones.
• Happens in both ArmA vanilla and modded ArmA.
  https://z.zz.ht/Y2o7P.mp4 <- Helicopter recording of the issue. https://z.zz.ht/zFEkS.mp4 <- Ground vehicle recording of the issue.

[fresh quest]

my best guess would be its AV false positive, but i cant tell you for sure.
try to get hands on the file and try to get the SHA256 (7Zip has a feature for that, when you install it) , check if the SHA256 is the same as the one on the Virus Total page i linked

if so its most defintely a false positive

[fresh quest]

USB Headset with virtual surround?

and let me Guess the CPU is an older Intel or AMD FX?

[storm arch]

Headset 3,5
Intel i7 6700

[fresh quest]

not you XD

[simple flint]

USB Headset with virtual surround disabled. And yes, FX-8320

[fresh quest]

yep known issue

[winter vault]

@quaint jewel I tried to redo the frame capture. Does this look like the correct layout? Should I be judging things based on the latter ms amount in the parenthesis? Does the script in picture 3 look odd? Link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ynh4sspzrh8yy3t/AAAjMo6S3FCIdl15USzf1sOoa?dl=0

[fresh quest]

it got better with some update but isnt fixed fully, it has to do with a low single core performance of the CPU and when you use a USB headset sound processing is usually done on the CPU instead of the sound chip of your soundcard (when using audio jack)

try to force Stereo on your headset, it might be that the driver software shows stereo but the windows audio devices still sees it as surround

[storm arch]

Now I will try to download and compare

[fresh quest]

as a long term fix, you wont get around getting a CPU with more single core performance (pointing at Ryzen or Intel)

or use some sort of soundcard

[simple flint]

Sounds clear enough. I`ll ty to mess with the audio settings some more. Thank you.

[simple flint]

Upgrade to i5-10600k is in the works. Hope that will solve the issue

[fresh quest]

definetly

on Intel side a i5 6000 series is usually enough and on AMD any R5 1000 series Ryzen or even R3 (with SMT) of the 3000 series

(thats some roundabout values i got from my and some friends experience from before and after upgrading their PCs)

[simple flint]

Cheers! I heard the same things. Did not know that my audio and stuttering issue was CPU related though. Thanks for your input

[storm arch]

Steam downloads "Access Denied" when downloading

I already read your message above. I read all messages.

If I knew I'd answer

you were already told to add to AV exceptions, thats also the only idea I have.

[haughty parrot]

auto pilot isnt working for the drones im not sure if its a problom with what im doing or the game

[winter vault]

"waitUntil {sleep 1; ("ItemMS2000" in items player)};"

So it's waiting until I have the strobe item on me. Why does it run so many times in the frame capture?

[haughty parrot]

wait nvm the drone had a random ai

[storm arch]

I can't download the game now. Steam Blocks "Access Denied"

[quaint jewel]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[mellow monolith]

Antivirus finds virus in battleye. Does it real threat or false positive as said guy above?

[quaint jewel]

items player can be huge. How many items do you have in your inventory?
Especially when having a hundred bandages or such it can get bad

[quaint jewel]

false positive obviously.
Why would one of the biggest anticheat vendors distribute real malware? They wouldn't is the answer.

[winter vault]

I guess it varies from ~25 to +30 items with varying quantities.

[quaint jewel]

shouldn't be so bad then

is there any other code near that, maybe the line number is off by one or two

[winter vault]

It's waiting until I have the item, then it addActions the ability to turn on the strobe and the actual strobe code is like this:
{
IRST = "NVG_TargetC" createVehicle getPos player;
IRST attachTo [player,[0,0,0.190],"neck"];
sleep 0.8;
detach IRST;
deleteVehicle IRST;
Sleep 0.1;
};
I don't know if that is a performance heavy way of doing it, but it shouldn't be a problem because I haven't used the strobe while experiencing the problem.

[quaint jewel]

did you have the strobe in inventory?

can you send me that whole script file via DM?

[winter vault]

I did. Will do.

[quaint jewel]

who wrote that code and why is it not crashing Arma

[winter vault]

😄

I guess it's pretty old.

[quaint jewel]

OnStrobe = {
  if ("ItemMS2000" in items player) then {
    if (not isNil "AA1") then {
      [] call OnStrobe;
    };
    [] call StrobeAA
  } else {
    [] call StrobeRA;
  };
};

look at that code in the top.

If you have an item, and the addAction was added. It will call OnStrobe.
OnStrobe will then check if you have the item, which you do, check if you have the action, which you do, and call OnStrobe.
OnStrobe will then check if you have the item, which you do, check if you have the action, which you do, and call OnStrobe.
OnStrobe will then check if you have the item, which you do, check if you have the action, which you do, and call OnStrobe.
OnStrobe will then check if you have the item, which you do, check if you have the action, which you do, and call OnStrobe.
OnStrobe will then check if you have the item, which you do, check if you have the action, which you do, and call OnStrobe.
...

[grim tinsel]

oh so it does the same thing over and over endlessly, no wonder it isnt good for performance

[quaint jewel]

Better get rid of that mod really

[winter vault]

So that would be a no-go on the strobe mod 😄

[grim tinsel]

any chance you can post the link to that? I'd like to know which mod to avoid

[winter vault]

It's called "RR MS2000 IR Strobe".

[quaint jewel]

also once it gets out of that endless loop somehow, it will call StrobeAA, which again calls OnStrobe and causes a second infinite loop

[grim tinsel]

[quaint jewel]

removing the strobe item from your inventory will make it better.
It will get stuck in the waitUntil and check every second if you have it.

Also the "not isNil" check is kinda nonsense. The author thought that will detect him if the action is added or not.
But its nonsense, the variable is never set to nil.

[winter vault]

Thanks for your help Dedmen, I will check if removing the mod helped with the FPS degradation. Only thing that kind of makes me wonder is why no one else in our group has experienced similar problems with the mod.

[fringe salmon]

Hi All, I have been having trouble with mismatched mods lately. Tried, this, tried, that. The usual Arma shinanigans. Anyway, I have stumbled across an amazing tool. It will show you your local and server mod lists. Show you if they need to be updated and then do it for you. I mean, sweeet. lol.

have a question as my unit is currently having issues hosting a server atm. the role assignment is blank for the host and we are unable to join.

anyone have any idea as to whats up?

Could be missing mods

But I recommend having a look at your servers rpt log

[raven quail]

how does one do that. its not a dedicated server. just a hosted through arma a mp, we have been checking the mods and makeing sure everything is correct or updated.

[pine kite]

A local hosted MP session has the RPT log file in "C:\Users%username%\AppData\Local\Arma 3"

Where the Arma 3 game client keeps them.

[raven quail]

we might have figured it out lol thank you though.

Did you restart from a save made before you put the demo in your inventory?

[misty idol]

when the missions started it crashed

on the map screen

when i loaded it up again is started me already on locations with the det pack

[pine kite]

There should be a limited gear arsenal/weapons table in the mission on Camp Maxwell

[misty idol]

how do i get back there ?

[pine kite]

older savegame? Or restart that particular mission.

[misty idol]

when i revert it just spawns me near the blackfoot again

hmmmm

[pine kite]

then restart, not revert

[misty idol]

theres something wrong here i think i have to play the maxwell mission again

for it to function properly

That's what I'm saying

ok wait

[wise barn]

upload it to imgur

[earnest heart]

It could be that the servers you're trying to connect to require some addons/mods that you don't yet have (or didn't set as 'Load' before running the game)... won't know for sure without a screenshot though

ok, as suspected by Chortles and me, missing mods
if you use the server browser from the arma 3 launcher, it pill prompt you to download missing mods when joining a server

[fierce kayak]

hmmm

thx

[earnest heart]

The Arma 3 Launcher's server browser lets you set up mods before trying to connect so that you should definitely have all needed mods (so long as they're all on Steam Workshop)... the in-game one does not

as absurd as that may sound

because the Launcher was only developed and released after the game's release

[fierce kayak]

i imagined the game differently...

i installed the mod but it still doesnt work........

[wise barn]

well, it's not "the common jump in and shoot" FPS game

[earnest heart]

Is it giving you a different error message?

[wise barn]

did you use the arma 3 launcher?

[fierce kayak]

no the same

[fierce kayak]

use it for what ?

oh wait

[earnest heart]

If you downloaded the mod but didn't load it before running the game client, then you'll have to close the game, load it, and then run the game again (with the mods loaded)

[fierce kayak]

i started the game without mod

[pine kite]

Also, subscribing isn't sufficient to apply mods.

[wise barn]

please do as i said in my previous post

do not use the ingame server browser

[earnest heart]

The Arma 3 Launcher's server browser is the I-suppose-recommended way to 'try to join multiplayer' because it handles mod setup for you before trying to connect

wow very nice. You buy the game and want to play some war. What happenes ? You have to install fucking thousend mods before you can play any game because it punches you 100000 error in you face !

[pine kite]

Nobody said you needed mods. You can play the game without

[wise barn]

that's not the case. you can play war without mods. on servers that don't require mods

like, the official servers

i recommend warlords

[pine kite]

Also, exageration is an art.

[fierce kayak]

this game doesnt show me official server

oh wait

[earnest heart]

The Arma 3 Launcher has an Official tab in Servers

[wise barn]

click the official server tab in the server browser

[fierce kayak]

i did ok

[wise barn]

wait a minute for the list to update

[fierce kayak]

i didnt understand it first, english isnt my mother language

[wise barn]

figured, no worries

[fierce kayak]

there is still no official server

in the launcher

only internet servers are loading

[earnest heart]

Hmm... the in-game server browser's Official Servers button worked, much faster than the launcher oddly enough

My results:

[fierce kayak]

nah it wont load for me

this game forces me to buy these ****** dlcs! unbelivable

[wise barn]

it does not.

it's optional

[fierce kayak]

hmmm...

[pine kite]

Only if the terrain is Livonia, Tanoa or Weferlingen do you need the DLC for that terrain.

[wise barn]

you can play the servers just fine, unless it's a DLC terrain (tanoa / livonia)

anything else is playable

doesnt load

[pine kite]

Unload any mods, then start the game and use the ingame server browser. Or search the Internet tab in the launcher for Official .... There does seem to be a bug in the launcher regarding official servers. I remember one of the devs confirming that in a Steam discussion thread.

[earnest heart]

What Valen just said... my screenshot is of my in-game server browser a few minutes ago, so it definitely works

[fierce kayak]

okay ill try it

[earnest heart]

Search server:Bohemia Interactive, not server:Official... too many other people are using 'Official' in their servers' names

[earnest heart]

I just tried Valen's advice:

[pine kite]

Ok, I stand corrected on that advice.

[fierce kayak]

ok i searched for Bohemia Interactive servers in internet and it worked, i try to play now...

thx for help

[earnest heart]

sorry for all the trouble to get to this point, I'm glad that Valen mentioned that there is the known bug regarding official servers in the launcher

[fierce kayak]

why i cant play in at least 60fps ?

lol

even on lowest settings its not higher then 40

[wise barn]

leave the settings on autodetection

[pine kite]

~~Found the steam thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/107410/discussions/0/359543951710734387/#c359543951710969456~~

[wise barn]

low settings shift load to your CPU, rather your GPU where it should be

[fierce kayak]

i did autodetection

[earnest heart]

The issue is happening in the Launcher, not the in-game one as Dwarden said almost five years ago

[fierce kayak]

it sets everything on ultra but still 30 fps

[pine kite]

Exactly what was my point.

[earnest heart]

No, back then he said that it was happening in-game and to use the launcher instead, here it's the other way around

[earnest heart]

This is more a #hardware_vs_arma question than #arma3_troubleshooting, but... what's the CPU? 🤔

[pine kite]

Sorry, you are correct. It's getting bed time I guess.

[fierce kayak]

rtx 2060

should run it in at least 60fps

[earnest heart]

Thanks

It's more about the CPU

FPS is in the top right corner

[fierce kayak]

i see

[wise barn]

@fierce kayak
i have to tell you (again), arma is not the ordinary fast FPS shooter.
FPS almost mean nothing anymore once you're at the 30s or over. even high tier GPUs struggle maintaining 60FPS in multiplayer. this is caused often by the mission design (scripts running in the background) and sometime poorly optimized mods.
level of importance to have decent FPS in arma:
CPU core speed > RAM speed and timings (high speed, low timings) and GPU at the bottom of the chain

[fierce kayak]

bruh i dont play games under at least 90fps

[wise barn]

well, now you do 😉

as an example:
i have an i5 9600k OC to 5GHz, 32GB of 3200MHz CL16 RAM and an RX 5700XT and can barely hold 60FPS in warlords.
i have well over 100 in far cry 5
