How can I fix this?

I don't know how to or where to delete.

[steady hawk]

Activate HTUNE_OBJECTS MOD or whatever. I don't know the MOD so

Anybody willing to take a look at my .rpt? For some reason whenever I try to switch to my new missionfile it just switches back to my old one :/

[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 sends me back to the launcher. Everything else works, multiplayer, showcases etc. but anything under "Campaigns" I cant access. Has anyone had a similar problem or know what to do? I saw some people on reddit that had similar or the same issues...

[native iris]

@last kite Have you tried verifying the game files?

[last kite]

yes

[mellow yarrow]

Im getting a Bluescreen when trying to launch with BattleEye. (SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED)
Windows is freshly installed

[wise barn]

the usual:

• updater ALL drivers. don't let windows do it, do it manually. got o the manufacture website and download the latest drivers there. (Mainboard (chipset, audio, ethernet / wifi, ect), GPU, additional hardware)
• uninstall and then reinstall Battleye
• if this didn't work, reinstall vcredist 2013
• if this didn't work, update BIOS
• if this didn't work, get some gasoline and a lighter

"but it's a fresh install..."
do it again

[subtle parrot]

anyone know what le fuq dis is?

[wise barn]

when is this occuring?

[subtle parrot]

while trying to open my game

[slim mortar]

arma 3 even crashed after starting a singlepalyer session

[slim mortar]

I've played it before, but why it doesnt work now?

[fresh quest]

When it crashes there is a button for making a crashreport, you get some files there, go to the feedbacktracker, make ticket and attach the crash files

[slate epoch]

Hey guys. I've been getting the Status_Access_Violation Crash when loading into any server. Sometimes it instant crashes when loading into the character other times I can walk around for a few minutes but It always ends up crashing. A List of things I've done to try and fix the problem. Updated Drivers both with windows and manually at manufactures' websites. Reinstalled Visual C++ 2013, Reinstalled Directx, Reinstalled the game three times, lowered resolution and graphical settings, run windows memory diagnostics with no errors found. I've had people read through the rpt logs and they have found nothing which can point them in a direction at all. So just putting this here to see if anyone had any other ideas.

[quaint jewel]

have you made a feedback tracker ticket yet?

[night eagle]

What the hell is Hitune Objects and how can I fix it?

It's not in workshop.

No one can join the server in my unit.

[slim mortar]

lets see if its gona help

[obtuse skiff]

Keep getting this message when I start a mission in the editor. Please help 😖

[uncut trellis]

ACRE does not work with that map

so you cant run ACRE when you run that map

[obtuse skiff]

ohh okay thanks

[uncut trellis]

like it says in the message too 😉

[obtuse skiff]

Gotcha 😆

[grim tinsel]

Huh, seems odd that acre wouldnt be compatible with werferlingen yet tho

[fringe salmon]

hi

for some reason arma audio just decides to stop working

not a hardware issue

works is in every other application

this just started happening for the first time

[steady hawk]

Arma 3's audio uses Windows' default audio output device (so far. Probably next update contains some improvement about this). You should do a double-check audio device. Also, USB headset?

[fringe salmon]

yes usb headset

[steady hawk]

Then unplug it

[fringe salmon]

ok

[frank apex]

Have a read of this old issue about GM & ACRE
https://github.com/IDI-Systems/acre2/issues/995
TL:DR: You must load the optional @acre_sys_gm that provides map compatibility.
Which is avaliable in the optionals folder inside the ACRE mod folder.

[fringe salmon]

I unplugged it and plugged it back in

dosnt fix the issue

[steady hawk]

Unplug it. Not plug it again

[fringe salmon]

oh

and then what

kill myself?

[steady hawk]

Then you're good to go

TLDR, Arma 3 has some hiccup with USB Headset. If you plugged it and Arma 3 had some weird issue, the headset is the issue

[fringe salmon]

I think arma 3 is the issue

not the headset

[steady hawk]

You can say so maybe

[fringe salmon]

for sure

its a mainstream headset that works in every game and app except for arma

[steady hawk]

Whatever you say, you can't use USB Headset and play Arma 3 the same time

[wise barn]

In regards to usb headset issues: it's in fact Microsoft who screwed up big time with the 2017 creator's update

[fringe salmon]

arma 4 tbh

Why you said arma 4 tbh suddenly and suddenly

Hi when I try to upload the mod to the workshop I have this error, any solution? error steam error code:16, Error code:1, Error message: STEAM_API_DLL TODO

[strong apex]

it might be a steam issue, the workshop has been offline a couple of times lately

[ruby bluff]

Hi, i've got the same issue ! When i try to upload mod on the workshop i've got this error :

[grim tinsel]

Hm make sure that that visibility setting is correct @ruby bluff

Also whats in that mod?

[ruby bluff]

Didn't work when i changed visibitly, also it's a private map from a friend with some made self props.

[uncut trellis]

Map or mission?

[ruby bluff]

Map

But someone a few lines above said he has the same problem so i think it's general ?

I tried to upload an another addon and I tried to update another ones, but the problem still remaining

[wise barn]

Wait and retry later / in an hour. Steam most likely has some issues

[ruby bluff]

Ok thanks, I will try later 😉

[strong apex]

I've made a small mod to test adding modules to Zeus and SP and Hosted MP work perfectly. Only my mod is loaded, it's single class inheriting from Module_F.

However, on a **DEDICATED **server, the module isn't showing up in the zeus interface. Mod is confirmed loaded on the server, checked with debug console getLoadedModsInfo. The client and server mod hashes match.

Now here comes the weird part.

I decided to load CBA_A3 just for the heck of it, along with my test mod. Suddenly my mod shows up. My mod is not in any way, shape or form dependent on CBA_A3.

So to get my mod to show up on the dedicated server I have to load an unrelated mod. Why?

If you have any insights pls @ me, I'm trying my best to understand this problem.

[ruby bluff]

Hi, when i tried to upload / update an addon on the workshop there is this error :

It's been a day now that I have this error, 2 friends tried to upload an addon and it is working for them but not for me.
I tried to upload / update different addons but it doesn't want to work

[wise barn]

lemme guess, you had some stuff removed by authorities lately?

[ruby bluff]

Nop, why ?

A friend try to upload my mod and it's working for him, but for me not :/

[wise barn]

reinstall steam

[ruby bluff]

Ok thanks, i will try

[ruby bluff]

It didn't work, i reinstalled steam and arma 3 tools, got the "Item publishing failed" with the same error :/

[ruby bluff]

Hi, Did you found a solution for your problem ?

[steep sedge]

no ghost

[steep sedge]

I tried everything and there is no way, I am on the steam discord asking and nobody gives an answer, only that a ban of 15 days of the workshop is capable for some reason but they do not give a way to verify it

[ruby bluff]

Yep, same i tried everything, but i saw some topics with people who had the same problem (in 2018), they upload addon in 2020 so i think they resolve the problem, i will try to contact them

[steep sedge]

ok, if you have a solution, leave it written here

Anyone else having issues with jet tgp POINT locking onto vehicles? For me its only working like 50% of the time or less. Its so frustrating.

[nimble oracle]

Ran into an issue tonight with my group where we could not unload unconscious players from vehicles via ace interact. Seemed to work intermittently with cars, not at all with helis. The players reported getting shot into the sky, the doors would open but they wouldn't get out, weird stuff. Restarted mission, then server, tried different mission. Still same issue. I'm guessing its either a mod conflict or something wrong with the cba settings but I have no idea. Anyone run into this before?

[wise barn]

@nimble oracle
Best to ask on ACE slack

[pearl umbra]

Any way to get a crashreport when the game just freezes and hangs?

Can't seem to play for more than 30 minutes at most, before the game just freezes and hangs, pinning two cores at 100%

@formal zephyr Did you buy Art of war DLC?

[wise barn]

@pearl umbra
mods?

[pearl umbra]

None

Except for Art of War

Beofre I bought art of war I had 0 issues

[wise barn]

fullscreen or windowed fullscreen?

[pearl umbra]

Either

[wise barn]

keep it windowed fullscreen

some error messages hide behind the game screen and get closed with the game on a violent shutdown (alt+f4. others)

[pearl umbra]

You mean from the launcher?

The game never crashes, it just freezes doing something

[wise barn]

@pearl umbra
what GPU do you have?

[pearl umbra]

6800 XT

[wise barn]

ooookay...
keep a very close eye on the temperatures, especially the junction temp.
stock AMD fan curve sucks hard and once the junction temp reaches +90°C, funny stuff starts to happen

had similar issues with the 5700XT

[pearl umbra]

Its not the GPU

[wise barn]

just... do it

even if just to rule out another factor

[pearl umbra]

I have been using it since launch, had 0 issues until Art of war was released

Temperaturs are in 70-80 range

[wise barn]

core or junction?

[pearl umbra]

both

Just now, 74 core, 82 junction game frooze

Game does something strange

Pushing two cores to 100%, just before it frooze GPU usage went form the usual 40-50% while playing to 100%

850w platinum powersupply, memmory at very conservative XMP settings, no OC on CPU or GPU, only PBO enabled on CPU

No issues at all in other games (planetside 2, kerbal space program, wargame for example)

[wise barn]

remove AoW for testing

[pearl umbra]

I don't think it is the DLC itself, but the update

When I do get crashsdumps it is errors in rendering part of the game

Clouds or lighting usually

I'll try removing the DLC, but can I play multiplayer ons ervers that use the DLC without it?

[wise barn]

yes, you still can play the servers

[pearl umbra]

Nope, didn't change anything

[pearl umbra]

Wonder what the hell Arma is trying to do

GPU usage jumps from the usual 30-40% to 100%, and cpu usage to 100% on two cores, and stays there until I kill the game

[fringe salmon]

I am a member of a certain unit and the unit owner lets the members host their own side operations. I have been hosting antistasi about 2 months ago. At that time i had access to the game options menu after loging in as admin and picking the missions and pressing custom difficulty. But since i wanted to return to hosting antistasi the option is not available anymore. I asked the owner about any changes and he said he did not change anything. Is there any server option that will revert me access to the game options menu?

[pearl umbra]

@fringe salmon Should be available o role selection screen at missions start if you are logged in as admin

[fringe salmon]

nope does not appear

[pearl umbra]

What if you change the mission to fx. warlords, still no options?

[fringe salmon]

nope

[pearl umbra]

There should be options/parameters in warlords, are you sure you are logged in as admin?

[fringe salmon]

i think you misunderstood me

i can se the parameters of the pbo

i have a problem with customising custom difficulty settings

[pearl umbra]

The arma ones or antistasi ones?

[fringe salmon]

wait one

the red marked options does not appear on the server

after loging in as admin

[pearl umbra]

Thought that was only for hosting yourself, afaik on a dedicated server you set the difficulty in the config

[fringe salmon]

but i was able to set the difficulty like a month ago

also the windows does appear for the owner of the server when loging in as admin exactly the same way as me

im guessing its because under all of the missions it says that they are uploaded by him

[pearl umbra]

I don't know then, maybe there is an option in the config to enable/disable it or something

[fringe salmon]

yea thats what im searching for but i think im too stupid for that

thanks for the help

My friend has a minor problem with the game every time he turns it on, the game crashes after a few seconds.

does the game show an error message when it crashes?

[spice spear]

nop

[grim tinsel]

if so tell him to do what that says (report it on the feedback tracker)

thats odd

just that the game crashes and is in windows without any message

if it showed an error then I would try to find it first ..

hi, I'm participating in a PvP campaign with up to 80 players logged into the server. There's no AI around but the server averaged 17 fps during the last battle. Any ideas/howtos to debug such an issue? I've learned it could be the basic.cfg network config or really any script that runs. The path to debug this further is not really clear to me, as I cannot setup a test mission with 80 players for checking it out.

it's a Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.15.0-96-generic x86_64) system with released 2.02 64bit server binary

[gritty crypt]

@jaunty cedar assuming you're running modded, you may want to try things like https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/diag_activeScripts in debug console (also diag_activeSQFscripts). I've used that to determine when and which mods are running amuck with scripts that aren't great for multiplayer.

For example, Nimitz works great in large multiplayer for me but F18 with interactive cockpit resulted in a lot of lag last time I tried it in large multiplayer! Most I've gotten a server to without getting constantly below 30FPS server sidewas 100 players. and then at 120 players it was unplayable.

Other things to look at are increasing server spec and keeping low network latency (having a good ping requirement, etc).

[quaint jewel]

"Any ideas/howtos to debug such an issue?" profiling binary, diag_captureFrame
it will show where the frametime goes to

[jaunty cedar]

@gritty crypt thanks, it's a modded server, but close to Vanilla basically, e.g. none of the heavily scripted mods like F/A-18E/F have been added

@quaint jewel ok, guess we need to do a training session with two dozen people on profiling binary then and see where the time disappears. Thanks!

[quaint jewel]

only needs profiling on server.

only where you want to diagnose

and need debug console access to run script on server

[jaunty cedar]

ok

is it normal my arma is not loading anything ace related?

also says i need to start a mission to configure mods while i am playing a scenario...

[uncut trellis]

do you have ACE mods enabled in the launcher?

[rocky pelican]

yes, usual ones like ace compat, acex etc

[graceful blade]

Files D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3!Workshop@CUP Terrains - CWA\addons\cup_terrains_cwa.pbo are not signed by a key accepted by this server. To play on this server, remove listed files or install additional accepted keys.

Any Idea why this is happening despite the Server and player both has those keys in his key folder.

[wise barn]

maybe the mod is corrupted

[graceful blade]

From the players end?

Or server side?

[wise barn]

could be both

can others connect to the server?

[graceful blade]

yeah,

They can. Just that one friend of mine can't seem to get in

[weary sky]

In that case his version is corrupted. Simply use the 'repair' function in the launcher (RMB on mod, click on repair) to fix the mod locally.

[graceful blade]

Ah, thank you so much!

[sacred swallow]

Hey, I'm @graceful blade 's friend. I did that, and it still doesn't work. Now it seems that it's not just CUP Terrains, but also RHS that isn't working.

[weary sky]

There were several updates in the past week, so try to repair all mods (should just flash for a moment if nothing is needed)

Had the same problem a few days ago, seems that Steam has some problems with their API regarding updates

[sullen canopy]

hey ihave a problem w mods one day i opened my arma and all the mods were corrupted i repaired them all individually and now when i try install a mod it says not installed the mod path is not set and the game wont launch either

[sacred swallow]

I repaired every mod that I could, it still has the same issue

Just with a different .pbo file now, with RHS

I fully reinstalled the mods too, still the same issue

deleted the !workshop files too

I really need help here because I reinstalled these files completely, several times now

and it's still giving me the same issues

https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1722037882770812240/3B25A9D0063A60355D06C2F80F7183E452394F27/

[sacred swallow]

I'm going to leave this here in case it might help somebody in the future. If you have the same problem, don't try repairing mods, that doesn't work. Try verifying integrity of game files via steam, as that seems to have been what fixed it for me? I honestly have no clue, I just tried it now and it worked

[wise barn]

both work, depending on the issue

[fringe salmon]

how do i stop this massive menu

[quaint jewel]

video options, display, interface size

[fringe salmon]

thank you

[meager drum]

Hi, I set up a dedicated server with a friend, and we were trying to play but we keep running into the issue that his cars keep exploding or making other cars explode by doing small things like driving around and bumping something at not high speed or possibly due to some lag or small desync.
Is there any way to fix this? Perhaps some mod or script that would help?

I am running antistasi with ace, rhs and a bunch of other mods, although none should impact that.

[meager drum]

TLDR: How to stop cars from blowing up?

[weary sky]

TLDR don't crash your car 😅

[fringe salmon]

You can reduce the number of incidents by modifying their waypoints with the slowest speed and making them stick to roads with careless/safe and putting waypoints on the road. Alas the pathfinding for vehicles is pretty buggy so I only know how to reduce the incidents from a scripting point of view you can't eliminate the problem.

Larger areas of patrol are a good idea as well, they gives them more space to act and turn in. All this is stuff mission maker has to do to improve things however as vehicles do just suicide in the game at the moment and if you have enough of them its really obviously happening very frequently.

[meager drum]

sometimes that is unavoidable due to lag spikes, "dont crash your car" is not a solution, as sometimes a slight touch is enough for it to blow up

[meager drum]

you mean that for the AI right? The problem is happening with my other human player. I dont get those sort of problems very often, but for some reason it happens to him constantly. Sometimes he tells me that his vehicle moved in the wrong direction and then blew up. Might be lag or desync?

[fringe salmon]

Ah sounds like desync issues, they may have a bunch of packet loss on their internet. There isn't a lot that can be done without repairing the problem with their connection. Arma seems to cope well enough with high pings but packet loss often causes severe problems with players warping.

Or the server is overloaded and that needs addressing too.

[meager drum]

Thanks, that gives me something to look at. Do you know how can I check if the player is being desync'ed?

[grim tinsel]

stereoscopy ?

Yeah I know

I just dont know what you mean in terms of arma

do you mean the linux port?

afaik the linux port is old and dead and shouldnt be used anymore

you can find out more in #linux_mac_branch

If you're gonna behave like that I can also just not try answering at all

create a ticket on the feedback tracker if you think something is broken

[fringe salmon]

Their ping will usually go up in the map under the players list. There isn't anything directly in the game i know of that tells you about packet loss, typically we see it on teamspeak which reports the amount currently.

[grim tinsel]

Oh wow, I wonder if that might be a new highscore in terms of people that actually ask a question

[fringe salmon]

He is right as well about the bug, Nvidia stereo vision doesn't work anymore by the way. Nvidia 3d does not work, not sure when it got broken but its been a while. One of my community members noted it a while ago, I think it is already in the feedback tracker.

[knotty karma]

So I've had the urge to play the campaign recently. I got through the prologue just fine, but when I go to east wind, there is no play button. The only buttons are the replay and revert buttons. When I press the replay button, it takes me back to a save in the prologue. I already tried reverting the campaign and replaying the last mission multiple times as well as using the endmission command. Any help would eb appreciated

[hallow mantle]

hello i iam stuck on this screen whenever i want to join my friends lan server with mods does anyone have an idea why this is happening?
(a month ago worked everything perfectly fine)

[pearl umbra]

My game keeps freezing after at most 30 minutes of gameplay after Art of war update, anyone seen anything similar or have ideas on how to fix?

[grim tinsel]

do you get a window in the launcher showing a crash report?

[pearl umbra]

No, game never actually crashes

It just freezes and pins two cores at 100%

[shut socket]

Does it do this everywhere?

[pearl umbra]

I've only tried in mutliplayer, but happened both on populated server and one with not a lot going on

[shut socket]

I know my arma sometimes freezes for 1-2 minutes, are you sure you aren't just disconnecting

[pearl umbra]

No it freezes completly

Pins two cores at about 100%, so it is doing something

And pins the GPU at 100% for some time until the Radeon tool complains that something is not responding

Had no issues at all before the Art of War update

Tried without XMP running, disabling PBO, rolling back drivers etc. doesn't help

[shut socket]

I would doubt it is an art of war update issue

Have you tried validating files?

[pearl umbra]

Well I played for 1-2 hours without issues, then after I installed art of war game started crashing

I used to get crash reports, but after the arma updates after that the game freezes instead of crashing

Seems pretty clear to me that the game is hanging somehow, but I don't know if there is any way to force it to make a crash report? I think BattleEye blocks creating a dump through task manager

I also see textures flashing after the update

Kinda looks like lighting, as if the birghtness goes all the way up on the textures or something

[shut socket]

I would say validate files, try it again in multiplayer, if that doesn't work try disabling battleye and playing in singleplayer for a bit

[pearl umbra]

I have tried validating and running with art of war disabled in steam

[shut socket]

I haven't really had any issue like this, so you might need to wait until somebody else can help you, I wish I could

[pearl umbra]

Think it has something to do with the lighting that was changed with art of war

Because that is what caused the crashes when the game actually crashed and generated crash reports

I see the lighting glitch out in game, for example this frame

[shut socket]

Might want to try messing around with your lighting settings then

[pearl umbra]

has no sahdows / darkness

Then next frame it looks normal:

Some shadows blink between frames as well

[uncut trellis]

could be a problem with you gpu

could try reinstalling gpu drivers

[vivid apex]

Hi guys, getting the follow error on a server im trying to setup

Have tried reinstalling it on server side and on my own side

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/449657569057964053/824738846314987540/unknown.png?width=2427&height=1365

[grim tinsel]

you need to add the .bikey file to the servers keys folder

[vivid apex]

I've done that, but CUP terrain maps has two of them

i've tried different combinations and nothing worked so far

Maybe i need to delete the old bikey in the server ánd my library? ill try that

[loud dome]

Im using GeForceNow to play ARMA on a MAC - it works great. Only recently - when i launch the game on GFN it begins a 28GB update file on steam in the background - as soon as that update completes, the game just closes. What could be wrong here?

[wise barn]

does that happen every time?

[ornate sentinel]

Can anyone help me?

[steady hawk]

Help what?

[ornate sentinel]

I am trying in making a mod that adds an aug.
The textures seem to work fine, but in first person you can't see them on the rifle you are holding

[steady hawk]

The texture isn't assigned in the FPP

[ornate sentinel]

how do i do that?

[steady hawk]

Just the same with you do in the TPP models -> #arma3_model

[ornate sentinel]

I don't think i follow

[uncut trellis]

Looks like you don't have textures assigned to the model in first person view lod.

[winter moss]

This is driving up a wall. For some reason, without changing anything, Arma 3 damage is screwed and everyone dies with 1 shot. So a pistol vs level 4 body armor = 1 shot. Going crazy trying to figure out why, have ACE, CBA, and some other mods

[uncut trellis]

its your mods

you have broken something with them

[ornate sentinel]

How do I assign it and where do I find materials that tell me how to?
Can't find anything myself

[steady hawk]

Don't ping someone with completely unrelated topic

[knotty karma]

Is anyone able or willing to help me?

[knotty karma]

perhaps theres a way to delete the campaign saves, but im not sure how to do that so I would need someone to walk me through it

[warm marsh]

I fucked up and deleted all the data for GM

How do I get it back?

Or like reinstall GM?

[grim tinsel]

try right clicking gm in the launcher and clicking repair

[warm marsh]

Oh

[shut socket]

If revert doesn't work, try doing it on a diffrent profile

[knotty karma]

you know what, I havent tried that yet

Thank you, it worked. I completely forgot about the profile thing

[median dragon]

every time i join a server it gives me an error that says (you where kicked from the game battleye game restart required). ive restarted my game and pc multiple times and uninstalled and reinstalled arma two times can anyone help

idk what to do

ive even looked up videos

hello

[wise barn]

easy champ. this is no 24/7 help desk

verify your game installation

[median dragon]

yea i already did that my b

[wise barn]

mods?

[median dragon]

i dont have any mods

[wise barn]

a shot in the dark:

• go to ..\documents\Arma 3
• backup all files that end with *.Arma3Profile
• delete the originals
• restart the game

[pearl umbra]

@uncut trellis doubt it is an issue with the GPU, I had no issues since I got it in october until art of war, I have tried using a much older driver which I am certain I had no issues with, yet that didn't change anything

[median dragon]

thanks ill try that

[pearl umbra]

@median dragon Do you have BattleEye enabled in the launcher?

[median dragon]

umm idk how wou8ld i tell

[pearl umbra]

In the launcher at the side there is a battleye tab

[median dragon]

yea i didnt have that enabled

the enable battleEye anti cheat software right

[pearl umbra]

Yes

[median dragon]

should i check the box

[pearl umbra]

Yes, you need to enable it to play on servers which require it

[median dragon]

ok thanks ill try it

[fringe salmon]

battleeye client not responding, this is on a dedicated server which is vanilla?
i have tried reinstalling battleye and no luck just keep getting booted

[regal canyon]

i need some help with zues

its not letting me place any modules that are modded

[weary sky]

Make sure the GM Module has the setting to allow all addons

[regal canyon]

would that be in addon options?

[wise barn]

game master module attributes

it's a dropdown menu

it says something like "add all addons (including unofficial)"

or similar

[regal canyon]

is it like a keybind or is it in the menus?

[split moat]

In the mission editor

[eager reef]

anyone else having problems with arma units or is that just me?

[split moat]

There's always a problem with arma units

[eager reef]

damn

[wise barn]

it's weekend. servers are down as usual

😄

[regal canyon]

is the mission editor the eden editor? i dont know/remember alot of this stuff its been a while since ive played arma

and this is what is showing up when i spawn in idk if thats important

[steady hawk]

Nope. Do what you've told

[regal canyon]

????

[steady hawk]

What audiocustoms said

[regal canyon]

its been happening for a while, its not just now, ive tried multiple times to get help but nothings working

[steady hawk]

Before rant, make sure it allows all addons

[split moat]

Yes, when you are making the mission, when you place the zeus (game master) module, you can double click it to edit it and change the attribute for allowed addons

[split moat]

Looks like you have the zeus fps mod loaded

[regal canyon]

ok that worked thank you

[split moat]

I'd lookup setting up a zeus module on YouTube on specifics on how to get it configured

[wise barn]

so, it took a 3rd guy telling you the same stuff until you finally did it...
well done

[split moat]

Such is life, anyone here run their own server and could help me track down an access_violation error?

[regal canyon]

i didnt know what tf you guys were saying and i thought it was something in the menus... i didnt think it was just double clicking the actual zues module

[regal canyon]

you guys were saying to go to certian menus n shit and i didnt know how to get there

[wise barn]

@smoky rain
and where is the cheat menu?

[smoky rain]

shift+Y

opens this thing

[steady hawk]

And where is the cheat menu? I see only Zeus interface

[wise barn]

that's zeus......

not a cheat menu

look in your key binds for something like zeus interface or so

[smoky rain]

aaah gotcha, I never used this

managed to rebind thanks

[wise barn]

👍

[steady hawk]

If you're simply not aware of it, you just need to ask help to get there, not rant

[regal canyon]

i was asking for help, like i said, you guys were saying to go to certian menus, i didnt understand, i didnt know how to ge there and the thing shadblade said pretty much told me how to get there

[steady hawk]

I mean the attributes menu. You didn't even said you're not aware of it

[tiny pewter]

does anyone know why, when i tell a vehicle to drive in editor, it won't drive in a straight line?

[warm marsh]

Didn't work

Think it only does it for mods

[uncut trellis]

pathfinding tries to find best rout

[proud turret]

Arma units down?

[grim tinsel]

ye every weekend

[wise barn]

The units server is kind of my new clock.
Since covid and not getting out of the house much, I tend to forget what day it is. But once the units server is down I know it's weekend

[winter moss]

Sorry to butt in. Arma 3 Ace 3.12.6, out of nowhere, handles all damage as 1 hit on kill. Level 4 armor vs leg shot = insta death, even with damage reduction script. Did anyone have this issue?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5fLnEKxwr4

Ace Medical turned off or on, Damage Reduction on/off, same bug.

No othe rmods except CBA

[shut socket]

That would be an Ace problem, check your ace settings, and armor doesn't protect your legs unless it is on your legs

[grim tinsel]

I recommend asking on the ace slack

[fringe salmon]

question when i get in a vehicle my friend cant see me when i get out of the vehicle on his screen i stay in the helicopter or any other vehicle pls how do i fix this stupid bug

[leaden edge]

Hey guys, I am testing the helicopters in the game.. when I use full thrust, it starts malfunctioning in the air and crashes.. is it normal?

A weird thing is that if I shutdown the heli then turn on the again, after engine stopped, heli turns into a fireball at speed of light and game freezes

[uncut trellis]

do you have mods?

and no that does not sound normal

[scenic tendon]

Problem: all my loadouts have disappeared. Something that might be in connection to it is that when I landed at the main menu it game me the first time ‘welcome to arma’ message, and my menus are orange for some reason.

What I mean by 'orange menus'

[scenic tendon]

From my memory I remember the menus as always being green

[grim tinsel]

your profile props got corrupted

[violet pumice]

Can you undo a save in the eden editor? I went to play a mission I was making to test it but it bugged out. It went to start the mission but the place object menu (when you double left click) popped up and it saved. I loaded the mission and now everything is gone

I really hope you can because I put a lot of work into this mission and it would be a real pain to have to re-make it

[uncut trellis]

you cant

[tiny pewter]

does anyone know how to get rid of the mouse in splendid?

backspace gets rid of the hud but not the mouse

[scenic tendon]

That makes sense, my computer lost power in the middle of playing arma earlier in the day. The loadout thing isn’t too bad, I had been needing to clean some of them out anyway lol. Is there a way to get rid of the orange menus? It’s not much but it still annoys me.

[shut socket]

Wdym?

[strong lynx]

is there a way to change crouch keybinds in arma 3

[shut socket]

Yea, check controls > Infantry Movement

[strong lynx]

Awesome thanks

[tiny pewter]

in the splendid camera, is there a button to hide the mouse cursor

[ruby moon]

which is?

guys im having a problem where if i open splendid camera while operating an aircraft the camera crashes and is very buggy like i cant properly do anything and when i try and exit it doesnt let me so i have to full exit to the eden editor. can someone help me

[tiny pewter]

I dont understand, i'm asking if there is a button to hide the mouse cursor

[ruby moon]

ohok sorry

[tiny pewter]

no worries

[uncut trellis]

why do you need to hide it @tiny pewter

and no there is no button for that

[tiny pewter]

planning on filming so would need ther to be no cursor, i heard obs has an option to not capture the cursor so fingers crossed ig?

[uncut trellis]

yeah that works I think

[fringe salmon]

Game Options/Colors pick a green one

[scenic tendon]

That worked, thanks!

[fringe salmon]

i mean yeah its not that hard to find,kinda disappointing you did not even check honestly

[dim tinsel]

Hello

Does anyone know what UI element this is?

[grim tinsel]

formation marker iirc, as in where you should be in the formation

[dim tinsel]

Cool, thanks

How do I turn that off? Difficulty?

[grim tinsel]

Yeah difficulty settings

Not sure what the name of the option is, sorry

[jade python]

Anyone remember how to put the ace Arsenal ina. Crate in game

[left wolf]

@jade python
• In game with Zeus :
While being Zeus (Curator) in game . . . Put down an object (ammo box for example) then search for 'arsenal' in the search box, top right. Drag that arsenal icon onto the object.
• In Eden Editor :
To use ACE Interaction . . . Put this into an object's INIT field:

[this, true] call ace_arsenal_fnc_initBox;

[frozen needle]

Can someone give me a hand with an issue im facing? Whenever i press anything in arma, my screen goes black for a second and then goes back to normal.

I have a feeling its to do with this

because its never happened before this issue started appearing

[steady hawk]

Probably corrupted CUP Terrains - Core. Repair it

[wise barn]

exactly what he said 👆

[frozen needle]

Just done, lets see

still getting the error 🤔

[wise barn]

restart steam and retry

[steady hawk]

No need to post the same shot again just to say you're getting the same ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Repair every CUP Terrains maybe, also

[frozen needle]

Sorry 😅

Alright ive repaired all of them and restarted steam, lets see what happens

Nope, same error

[steady hawk]

Weirdo. Just in case does vanilla return no errors?

[frozen needle]

Im gonna try that now

So i have zero mods loaded and its giving me an addon error -_-

[wise barn]

what error?

[frozen needle]

Addon 'Task_Force_Radio' requires addon 'CBA_Main'

[steady hawk]

Do you have any suspicious pbo in your addons folder (including DLC/expansion folders) by any chance?

[frozen needle]

not to my knowledge, just been using a mod preset that works for every other member of my unit

[steady hawk]

Sounds like you did accidentally. Search for pbos on every addons folder

[wise barn]

did you ever manually add something to your arma 3 root folder?

[frozen needle]

not to my knowledge 😄

[wise barn]

like, adding something to ..\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Addons

[frozen needle]

Ive been working on my own mod, and added it locally through the launcher

but that shouldnt matter right?

[wise barn]

hell, it does matter 😄

[frozen needle]

ah

😄

[wise barn]

the path i just posted is the rood addons folder for all arma game pbos that get loaded automatically at startup. as soon as you add something to it (which you should not at all circumstances), the game launches it at startup, no matter what

[frozen needle]

whether its loaded or not?

[wise barn]

exactly

but:

there might be another option

open your launcher

navigate to

[frozen needle]

alright

[wise barn]

parameters

-> all parameters

and check if -Mods is checked

[frozen needle]

its unchecked

[wise barn]

that's good

parameter file

?

[frozen needle]

unchecked

[wise barn]

good

go back, open DLC tab

[frozen needle]

i believe everything in there is unchecked aside from Show Script Errors

and yeah, DLC

[wise barn]

you can uncheck showScriptErrors, unless you are a scripter, modder or missionmaker

[steady hawk]

Show Script Errors just shows script errors in-game, not somewhere else

[frozen needle]

I write scripts so its handy 😄

[wise barn]

ok, then leave that checked

ok, recap:

• mods are all unloaded
• no -mod param set

[frozen needle]

correct

im in DLC now

[wise barn]

idk

[steady hawk]

No verify only detects missing/corrupted, not added

[frozen needle]

alright

Im curious though

if that was the problem

why has it only started now?

[wise barn]

we don't know if that was/is the issue.
it could be tho
what we know is, using that ini file is a violation for ToS / EULA and usually causes a ban

well, remove it and verify your game installation

we'll see what happens

[frozen needle]

Doing that now, its saying its aquiring 2 files

alright. let me try launching vanilla and see if it helps

Its still giving me the TFAR addon error

[wise barn]

looks like something is pretty 🦆ed up

[steady hawk]

Did you tried to check unnecessary pbos?

[wise barn]

go to ..\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Addons and look for TFAR addons

[steady hawk]

Or just maybe search by tfar in the root folder

[frozen needle]

there are some task force files in the default arma directory for some reason

[wise barn]

oh boy...

[frozen needle]

task_force_radio_pipe_x64.dll
and
task_force_radio_pipe.dll

[wise barn]

any cup files?

[frozen needle]

no CUP files

be honest with me, is it easier to reinstall the entire game at this point 😄

[wise barn]

we'll see...
how many files in total are in the arma addons folder?

[frozen needle]

55, including folders

33 not including

[wise barn]

..\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Addons should contain over 350 files

PBO and bisign

[frozen needle]

378

Arma addons folder

i missed that, i was doing default, my bad

[wise barn]

6 more than it should have

sort by names and look for files that have a prefix like TFAR_ or task_force_

[slow abyss]

RPT log should list all the loaded files along with tags which ones are official

[frozen needle]

there are uh

6 files

for TFAR

[wise barn]

delete them

[frozen needle]

372 items

[wise barn]

good. now vanilla should not prompt any errors

[frozen needle]

lets try loading it up 🙂

[wise barn]

see why i said to never temper with that addons folder?

😄

[frozen needle]

Yep, no errors

and i dont add to it, im pretty sure thats the task force mod thats doing that :/

[wise barn]

it is not

[frozen needle]

Still getting the black screen error 🤔

not error

issue

[wise barn]

black screen?

[frozen needle]

Im not sure how to put it

[wise barn]

i thought you get the CUP error

[frozen needle]

that too

Interacting with anything in arma, menus, moving, eden editor, causes my screen to go black for a second and only turn back on when the game has stopped "updating" things on the screen

So it can only ever show a still picture, not anything moving

[wise barn]

are you running the game in full screen, or full screen windowed?

[frozen needle]

Full screen windowed

actually ive figured out what that might be just now

Driver update

[wise barn]

always good to have them drivers up to date

[frozen needle]

Theres a chance its not, but its the easiest thing to start with i suppose

[wise barn]

what are your PC specs?

[frozen needle]

and yeah its only just been released i think, driver booster was scheduled to start today

Ryzen 7 3800x CPU
32GB DDR4 @ 3600MHz RAM
5700XT Red Devil GPU
and i have arma stored on an M.2 SSD

those are the main specs, i doubt you need to know my power supply 😄

[wise barn]

5700XT Red Devil GPU
oh...
did you ever edit your fan curve?

[frozen needle]

I have not

[wise barn]

well, another issue (maybe not related to your current, but still an issue):
your junction temp will go above 90°C which causes fragmentation and blackouts quite frequently.

make a custom curve so your junction temp never rises above 80°C

[frozen needle]

i got the DevilZone app, does that let me do fan curve etc, or is it BIOS?

[wise barn]

don'T you have the stock radeon software for settings?

[frozen needle]

Yeah i have that, not sure if it lets me adjust fan curve. Ill have a look at that later, im sure youtube has something

[gentle charm]

msi afterburner is what I use for messing with fan-curve

[wise barn]

YT has it, i'm sure. if not, google does for sure

[wise barn]

nope, go stock software first

[frozen needle]

i just restarted my pc too

lets see if arma is blackscreening now

good thing is, im not getting any errors for vanilla

[wise barn]

a small step for man...

[frozen needle]

😄

Can i ask, what FPS do you usually get in game?

[wise barn]

depends on what i'm doing

[frozen needle]

because my friend has this exact same system and is getting 90Fps with all mods, im only getting around 45-50

Hooray! no black screens!

those darn drivers

😄

[wise barn]

👍
still keep an eye on your junction temps

for my FPS:
i get all, from 15 to 120

depending on mission, server, mods. if i'm debugging / modding or gaming

[frozen needle]

For my radeon settings i have this currently, i never see it go above 85 degrees but like you said, ill try to get that down

[frozen needle]

Makes sense i suppose 🙂

old man on tanoa, it can drop to 20ish FPS in the larger cities
debugging CUP Warlords on chernarus 2020 with ~300 AI can kill it to 25ish FPS
debugging and no AI on takistan ? +80FPS

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[frozen needle]

ahhhh my favorite map - chernarus. Why? because it goes boom easily 😄

[wise barn]

ok, so no errors and flickering in vanilla anymore?

[frozen needle]

Nope 🙂

[wise barn]

next up:
load CUP Terrains - Core and Maps next. nothing else

[frozen needle]

alrighty

[wise barn]

wait...

Core only

[frozen needle]

no errors regardless

I had both loaded and nothing popped up

[wise barn]

good

btw, don't load ace compat addons if you don't run ace

(just seen it in your last error msg screenshot)

[frozen needle]

yeah well we use ace a lot so its in all of my presets haha

[wise barn]

ok, that's fine then (as long as you run ace)

load up all the mods you need and go for a testrun

[frozen needle]

No errors 🙂

[wise barn]

looks like you're good to go then

[frozen needle]

Thank you so much man 🙂

[wise barn]

no problem

[frozen needle]

Next up, buying DLC 😄

[wise barn]

exactly 😉

[storm canyon]

is there a way to get object builder running without needing to use arma3p?
right now it crashes because Invalid module. Missing link to InitPluginModule function (127)
i've tried reinstalling that stuff, mounting p drive and reinstalling bulldozer but it doesn't work

https://pmc.editing.wiki/doku.php?id=arma3:tools:setup-p-drive i tried following this but it would bloat my drive with every extracted pbo

there is also no mapdisk.bat to replace, and every forum thread asking about it is just a dead end

[gleaming mulch]

Alright, so I have issue of when [Space bar] or [middle mouse button / mouse 3] when pressed twice, will now fire the equipped weapon... checked the controls and addon options for infantry controls and weapon controls, but everything is normal. Please assist. Edit: the issue seems to have resolved itself after the scenario was given more time to run (at least 7 minutes), and issue disappeared...

[uncut trellis]

@storm canyon object builder should run without arma3p. buldozer might not.

and to be honest you need that extracted data to make properly working mods

so best to free up some space

or change where you mount the P drive from to drive with more space

or look into the non extracting alternatives.

[storm canyon]

it can start, it just crashes when i try to load a model, argh i guess i'll just do that

[uncut trellis]

what model is that

you cant open binarized models

as i models from the game data or from mods

that is also forbidden

[storm canyon]

i think that should cause a different error from Invalid module, no?

[uncut trellis]

what model are you trying to open?

[storm canyon]

sigh nvm, i was trying to open the arma 3 sample models with it but it works when i directly open them in the file explorer instead of through the object builder

[uncut trellis]

how did you try to open them?

Hi, I am getting spammed with this error message on dedi server whenever shooting starts, number of error message seems to correlates to shots fired. google does not give me any clue, wonder if here people knows it or at least what kind of mods might cause it

having trouble starting the game.
tried with addons, without addons, same message shows up and it stops the launch process. anyone know what this is?

[quaint jewel]

delete that file

then verify game files in steam @unkempt shard

[unkempt shard]

okay thanks

much appreciated

gonna try that now

[latent locust]

run out idea what mod could be the cause...

Does not seem to really affect performance but would like to make sure

[shut socket]

If you have any mods that change models or add guns/vics check those too

Also, does it matter which gun(s) is fired

[latent locust]

nope seems any gun fire will trigger that. maybe RHS?

[shut socket]

What about vic guns?

[latent locust]

vic?

[shut socket]

Vehicle

[latent locust]

yes it triggers too

[shut socket]

Do guns still do damage

[latent locust]

all gameplay wise seems normal

just the gunshot spam error message, and FPS goes down when a lots of fire but not sure if it is caused by the spam or not

[shut socket]

You could try removing RHS, but I don't know. If somebody has a client side mod that adds guns ask them to remove it

[latent locust]

no that just me connecting to the server, so it should be the same mod list.

[mild grotto]

Hello, I am running in to an issue where every time my arma 3 launches the internet on my computer goes out. I have tried lowering the max pings from 5000 to 250 but that hasn't helped, has anyone ran in to a weird issue like that? I have attempted to port forward as well

[shut socket]

That sounds like your router isn't that good.

[mild grotto]

It could be that, except my internet on my phone and my roommate's computer doesn't go out when I boot the game

[uncut trellis]

@latent locust is there a custom mission running?

and if yes, have you tried just some empty scenario with just you in it

could be some sort of mission script or module that is broken

[lean cape]

can i get some help from someone about modding? i saved the crash report and just need to find which mod is causing it

[uncut trellis]

only real way to see what mod is problematic is test them with method of elimination

[lean cape]

so theres no way to check the crash report and see the cause?

[uncut trellis]

what do you mean by crash log?

.rpt log or something else

what is the file name

[lean cape]

i got a winrar file filled with diff files and reports and stuff

[uncut trellis]

then no

thats not something we here can read

do you have a lot of mods?

[lean cape]

yeah i have like 60 loaded

[uncut trellis]

well just turn them on few at a time and see where it breaks

[lean cape]

alright

[latent locust]

thx for trying to help me solve it. turns out to be lambs danger that cause this.

tested mod by mod

[latent locust]

#arma3_troubleshooting message
according to lambs dev, this is caused by doSupress.sqf, and it requires BI to fix it. so anyone here knows how to supress these messags?

[steady hawk]

Help with what?

[slow abyss]

The save is probably from an earlier game version. You will need to revert to the start of the mission.

[quaint jewel]

or get dedmen to make that web tool he wanted to make to upgrade savegames to new game version

[slow abyss]

How would a tool like that work? Simply change the game version in the save and hope for the best?

[mint needle]

@grim tinsel Here one issue, this is where the Mod Id's go off the page

Had to zoom out, looks like its only limited amount you can have

[grim tinsel]

ah ok, just looks like meh website design

[quaint jewel]

ye

[mint needle]

And that what it tells me after I download a mod

FTP key?

[grim tinsel]

ah

you need to connect to your server using an ftp client

[mint needle]

How do I do that because I dont know how to

[grim tinsel]

and then you need to go into each mods folder on the server and copy the '.bikey' folder of the mod into the servers 'keys' folder

[grim tinsel]

google can propably explain it better than me

[mint needle]

Could you send me a link, I honestly dont know anything haha

[weary sky]

https://www.google.com/ 🤷‍♂️
Or check the Support section of the hosting you use, which usually explains how to do all that

[wheat jay]

Any idea why my server will reach "reading mission" then close leaving ```

[night eagle]

?

[wise barn]

you are probably missing ace

or parts of it

repair the mod

[night eagle]

I haven't made any modpack changes since the last time I've opened the save file.

[night eagle]

how?

[wise barn]

via launcher

[night eagle]

@wise barn

This may be why but why is it blockign these?

[wise barn]

that's unfortunate

[wise barn]

restart steam and the launcher, then try again

if this doesn't work, #channel_invites_list has a link to the ace slack

[night eagle]

Ty.

[shut socket]

It does that sometimes for me when I'm not connecting to internet

[fringe salmon]

i've been getting serious stuttering, from ~.5 seconds up to ~20 seconds, and i have no idea whats causing it

my cpu and gpu are around 50% usage and my ssd is barely being used

[shut socket]

Check mods

[fringe salmon]

none installed

[wise barn]

SSD or HDD?

[fringe salmon]

ssd

[fringe salmon]

loaded*

[wise barn]

sorry, missed that in your initial post

[uncut trellis]

@fringe salmon in what kind of situation?

how is your GPU heat at the time

[fringe salmon]

never above 80 at 100%

it stutters whenever i try landing especially

[wise barn]

do you have an USB audio device?

[fringe salmon]

several yes

[wise barn]

just a theory...
use analog for testing

[fringe salmon]

ill try that

nothing

[wise barn]

theory not confirmed then

[night eagle]

Installing a radio right now, where do I find the init.sqf and Description.ext?

[wise barn]

you have to create them inside your mission folder along where your mission.sqm is

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Description.ext

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Event_Scripts#init.sqf

[night eagle]

@wise barn I'm sorry, I'm a bit dumb but how do I add those, I'm a bit confused.

[wise barn]

first off, do you have file extensions visible?
https://sawtoothsoftware.com/resources/knowledge-base/general-issues/how-to-show-file-name-extensions-in-windows-explorer

@night eagle

[night eagle]

@wise barn I do, still nothing.

[wise barn]

as i said, you have to create them.
make a new text file and rename it from description.txt to description.ext
same goes for the init.sqf

[night eagle]

Ah, alright.

Then I just paste the things in.

[wanton patrol]

Does anyone might know how to fix this error. It happens every time try to start up Arma 3 with the GLOBAL MOBILIZATION DLC it give me the error 0x0000DEAD. I tried everything from deleting the DLC,MODS, and game

[steady hawk]

More info please. Did you have any MODs with it? Vanilla? Vanilla + GM?

[wanton patrol]

just vanilla I tried deleting the DLC and reinstalling same with the game too

[steady hawk]

Try to verify your game

[wanton patrol]

I tried that too

[steady hawk]

You got the error when the game's launching?

[wanton patrol]

yeah

it only happens when i try to launch with the DLC on if i take it off it works

[steady hawk]

I never heard of this kind of issue 🤔

Do you own Global Mobilization for sure?

[wanton patrol]

yes

I tried contacting and email the support team but still nothing

[steady hawk]

If you contacted them just a few hours ago, of course you won't get anything since it's still an early morning

[wanton patrol]

no they just told me to verify my game cache too but it just tell me it been validated but the DLC still does not work

[open trellis]

I've got a problem, i installed arma went to luncher pressed play and arma immediately came up with error. I tried few times then i reinstalled arma and steam but it doesn't work and i keep getting same error:(
Error exite code is 0xC000007B - STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT idk maybe this will help identify a problem. Help please

[astral coral]

Hey, so as mentioned up in #arma3_scripting, having some trouble on my server- my console keeps spitting this error and I'm not sure what's causing it

Addon 'CUP_Afghan_Data' requires addon 'CA_E'

Already reinstalled CUP Terrains Core and CUP Terrains Maps

Any ideas?

Update, so I unloaded CUP terrains and CUP core and it works just fine, might be corrupted, but open to suggestions

[wise barn]

run CUP Terrains - Core and CUP Terrains - Maps only for testing

[astral coral]

Aha, found the issue, CUP Core is entirely missing from server files despite the web conssole saying it installd

[astral coral]

Got it fixed

[wanton veldt]

We've recently been having an issue with the vanilla Arsenal where players can load saved loadouts regardless of arsenal restrictions, leading to a couple sad community mission makers

any one seen this before?

[shut socket]

You might be able to use an ace arsenal, otherwise I don't think so. I was just playing with one yesterday and has the same thing

[meager sedge]

Hey so im in a match and people cant seem to hear me

[uncut trellis]

if you are using the in game voip, you are possibly on the wrong communications channel

[meager sedge]

how i change the channel?

[uncut trellis]

default key is "_"

check your keybinds

[fringe salmon]

hello

can anyone help

[uncut trellis]

@fringe salmon please use just 1 channel

if you have questions, ask the question, dont wait for someone to say they are here

[fringe salmon]

okay

I keep getting file lost

why is that

[uncut trellis]

where?

what does that mean?

[fringe salmon]

and I keep having a hard time joinning servers

[uncut trellis]

if you have error messages, please take a screenshot and post it here

[fringe salmon]

it will say session lost - file

could I screen share?

[uncut trellis]

well you probably can but there may be no one to watch

[fringe salmon]

when I try to make a screen shot it doesn't work

I was just hoping someone would have the answer

[uncut trellis]

what does not work when you try to make a screenshot?

and no, your explanation is not enough to understand the problem

[night eagle]

Does anyone know if this is client sided or server sided?

[weary sky]

The mod got installed on the client (your PC), no idea if that mod needs to be running on the server

[night eagle]

Ah, ok. Another question. Whenever I right click to zoom in or cntrl and right click my gun cants to the left and the laser turns on.

How do I fix it?

[wise barn]

check your key bindings / key mapping

[night eagle]

@wise barn This is happening, no one knows why. sending me insane.

[wise barn]

as i said, check your key binding / mapping

[night eagle]

Just did, know what mod would do this?

[wise barn]

idk... at least one of the +1000 available on the workshop

[night eagle]

it's 2.

[wise barn]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

try vanilla first

if it persists, it's a mapping issue

[night eagle]

It's only happening to me out of my unit and we have the same mods.

[wise barn]

did you even bother to read my last posts?

[night eagle]

I did, I'm looking at my mapping rn

Just reset my keybinds, did everything. Nothing happened.

[trail storm]

Anyone know why arma, whether playing vanilla or with mods will crash, or sometimes when an addon or the game updates will uninstall 27 or 30gb of itself? Frequent issue my friends having

[shut socket]

No idea, I've had that happen too. I do find that with steam if you delete the game through file browser and verify files it will take like 75% space for some reason.

And for some reason it works with like every game

[gritty kettle]

So, I am trying to run a mission using a headless client attached to my server. We have run about half a dozen missions now with the headless client module (I'm using ACE3 and ACEX) with the ACEX Headless options set up appropriately.
I have not noticed much of an improvement in performance, either in the expected increased framerate or in AI complexity.

I have been reading around and have come across a command called a setGroupOwner or some such - we make our missions manually in the editor, placing specific units in specific places for a more hand-crafted feel. Could someone please assist me in finding the correct init to use to 100% ensure that the AI placed in editor are transferred to ownership of the headless client?

[digital nacelle]

Elevated permissions are required to run DISM.
Use an elevated command prompt to complete these tasks. any one know how to do this please?

0xC0000135 - STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND I have this issue and re install did not help

[keen cave]

Anyone know why a steam mod keeps reverting back to an older version? It’ll work for a little bit, than just revert itself on our server

[wise barn]

@digital nacelle
Reinstall vcredist for 2013

[keen cave]

Like when i update a mod, it just reverts back to a super old save

[nimble tide]

can someone PLEASE help me. If I try to host a server locally some missions just dont want to open at all I hit play and it stays on the mission select screen

Even on some missions i could open before now I can't

[weary sky]

missing mods which are required for those missions?

You can check the log files (.rpt) to see the actual reason

[nimble tide]

ok thanks

i dont know what the fuck i did but i guess arma likes fixing itself from time to time

[drowsy forum]

Reinstall x86 or x64

or whatever the arm is

bc I have the same problem

[wise barn]

we live in 2021... nobody runs a 32bit system (x86) anymore 😉

[drowsy forum]

still wont work

ffs

[digital nacelle]

@wise barn thank you much appreciated

Does anyone know if there's an issue with using the vehicle respawn module on helicopters on the USS Liberty deck?

steam isnt recognizing any of my installed mods and is trying to redownload them, any idea how to fix it ?

[wise barn]

let it run

steam hickup

it doesn't DL the mods again, just verifies the integrity which seems like a download

[kind zealot]

hi how to fix this ? please

[uncut trellis]

Sounds like one of your mods is broken

[uncut trellis]

I don't think you can do anything about that except report to the mod makers Id you can figure out which mod it is.

[fringe salmon]

Where would I find people to help with server issues

[uncut trellis]

depends on the issue. there are few Server_ channels down at the Multiplayer Servers category
