Arma 3 uses Windows' default audio device. Make sure your mic is
fringe salmon
Okay so heres the issue. My brother PC is a Dell laptop that meets the minimum spec for Arma 3 exactly. The only difference is it has 8GB of RAM and not 4. Its an intel HD 4000 and an i3-3110m 2.4ghz.
The game keeps crashing at random points
And shows an error saying "device removed"
wise barn
win10 issue
explanation:
fringe salmon
So.... TL;DR = Use windows 7?
I did eliminate this issue in the past by using an older driver (Version 15 instead of 24) but I really could use this working on windows ten as its my college laptop and I need the features - but my brother also uses it to play arma 3 with me
wise barn
with win10 the threshold for outputing errors for driver micro dropouts was reduced to an insane minimum. so, as soon as the GPU / driver has a small hickup (all prior win versions ignored it and let it unhang itself), the system crashes.
there are some tuts on google on how to edit the registry entries to a more suitable level
fringe salmon
So in theory, increase the error threshold = possible fix?
fringe salmon
Editing registry can have serious effects on the pc, I get it aha
wise barn
this means editing the redistry which can cause extreme issues if not done right
create a restore point before doing that
fringe salmon
Say I then take the HDD with the edited registry and plug it into another laptop with a different card (which I do daily), will this reset the registry
wise barn
no
fringe salmon
Okay so I can still swap between PCs without issues... Good.
Is there a link you can send me to one of those sites?

Trying to change my resolution to 16:9 wide but it is stuck in Auto stretch and keeps reverting back. I've deleted the cfg file twice, as well as manually entered the resolution in the cfg. Reinstalled the game and nothing. Any suggestions?
wise barn
what's your screen resolution?
sage meadow
2560X1440
wise barn
use windowed mode and set the res to this

It just reverts back to auto stretch.

Hey guys, trying to setup an Arma 3 dedicated server on Azure running on Ubuntu 18 LTS. The server is not showing up or allowing direct connect from Arma clients.
Does the steam user that is running the dedicated server require an Arma purchase, or should I debug elsewhere?

@tacit temple check that either both the server and the connecting players are running battleye or they both aren’t and if it is enabled check to be sure everything is up to date
Is it your own physical box or rented? If it’s rented you can probably contact support for more information.

rented dedicated. i sorted the battleeye issue now i get this

did you take the keys from the exile mod folder? @tacit temple

not that im aware of. downloaded from workshop

Huh
Might be good to ask on the exile discord then, iirc its linked in #channel_invites_list
fringe salmon
Keys should be in the folder called keys, download from an official source and check for the folder
tacit temple
no keys folder included
but i do have a key downloaded from server files
it is in the keys folder
yup, key that i had was wrong....downloaded the new key from exile discord and it fixed it, not sure why they havent included it in the server download files

I have a friend getting "0xC0000005 - ACCESS_VIOLATION". He tried all the fixes in the wiki, but none worked.

Ah, if it works fine without any mods try loading only half of your mods to see if that breaks it
if it doesnt try the other half
then if one of the halves breaks it split that down to halves again, and so on until you find the mod causing the problem
and if you can replicate the issue with just that mod loaded please
- try repairing the mod in the launcher (right click)
if that doesnt fix the error, please do head to that mods steam workshop page and ask for help thre (if there are no other support places listed like discord/forum/...)

Hello, i've been playing arma 3 for a little bit but I cant seem to get solid frames. As you can see in this screenshot earlier i took my right and my left monitor show that my load/usage is fine and temps are low but my fps just keeps dipping and in cities it goes below 40 and sometimes 30 fps, is there a fix?
wise barn
no fix, expected behaviour

nope

this has less to do with optimisation rather than how the engine was build back in the days

there is also nothing to compare with, since this is the only public available engine that can do what arma does

are you running the game from HDD or SSD?

the FPS are similar, but they experience way more micro stuttering due to longer loading timers for texture data

@fringe salmon
Here's what I wrote up for our community :
---‐‐------------------------
How to fix a mission that has changed mods that aren't critical to the mission . . . Advanced Procedure!
--‐--------------------------
If you have a mission you would like to fix due to a missing mod that isn't critical to the mission (example : GreenMag), you can accomplish this by editing the mission.sqm file in the mission folder. (Be aware that if you mess with anything else, you'll probably break your mission).
- Make a backup/copy of your mission you are trying to correct and change the version accordingly.
- We will use your copied mission as the 'fixed' mission as to preserve your original work.
Now find your copied mission you just made (do a search if you don't know where it lives or check somewhere like
C:\Users<your name>\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles<your handle>\mpmissions<mission name>).
Open up the mission.sqm file located inside the mission folder and it should open up in notepad (easiest way) and
scroll down until you find the section that reads : addons[]= (it's near the top of the file).
Again, if the mod isn't a critical part of your mission, just delete the line containing the mod dependency (example :
"greenmag_main", ) from the mission file and save the result. - Reload your 'fixed' mission in editor to test.
☆ Doing it this way preserves your Attributes and Addon Option as you set them up originally and they will not need correcting in the 'fixed' mission. And don't forget to copy and paste any other folders (images) into the 'fixed' mission folder.

Hi, just today I'm having an issue with my dedicated server, it's taking a long time for clients (incl. myself) to connect and mission files aren't being sent out, so selecting a mission that clients don't already have downloaded won't work
It just started happening today, yesterday worked fine, I'm at a total loss
Firewall & Router settings are fine as they were before (I did double check)
I've scoured my config/basic
I've tried running without mods
I'm so lost
and if I wait to connect, and load a mission, it just doesn't send and there's no roles

Still no work
weary sky
Achilles and ZEN... That's asking for problems...
Unfortunately the log doesn't show loading the mission on the server, so hard to tell why the server has a problem with it.
Which usually means problems with mods, either missing ones or broken ones.

even with no mods loaded I'm having the same issue

ok so
arma 3 decided today it wanted to not be installed
it of course was still installed
so i did the thing where you make steam check files for arma
it found it and it launches fine
however its reinstalling all of my mods
my game is located in G:
its reinstalling the mods in C:
i checked G my mods are still their
its just not loading them
so to recap arma 3 is re-downloading all of my mods in the wrong folder (C instead of G) even though i still have the mods installed on G it just decided not to load them because fuck me
@ me if you can help thanks

you may need to set your workshop folder again to correct location

i made a new profile on arma3 called Tuesday. i did that on the day i downloaded the game (about 9 days ago) i made a new profile yesterday. Because i was told to do so in a TUT on how to change your FOV. So at this point three porfiles. The directory profile "Tubst" witch i never created, "Tuesday" and "Zone". when i load up arma3 it loads up Tuesday instead of Zone so i went into the game changed it to Zone and deleted Tuesday. I then restarted my game. Upon loading up i was met with the Tuesday account still existing and the zone account not being selected as the primary account. So i deleted the profile files in the C:\Users\tubst\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles. Then restarted my game and then yet again upon loading up i am met with zone not being selecting and Tuesday still being a profile in the profile select so i FULLY re-installed the game and yet again met with zone not existing and Tuesday Being the primary account selected and the tubst account there aswell (dont know what account that is)
what the qsution is, how do i get RID of tuesday and make zone the PRIMARY account selected
astral sable
delete it in the files or bettey yet in the arma launcher go to parameters and find main profiles

I've been trying to fix this 0xC0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION from the ends of time and I recently got back into arma but have been getting memory leaks due to playing in 32 bit. I could NEVER run this game on 64 bit because I get this status access violation and every google search leads to no resolution so I'm hoping someone has a solution that isn't on the bohemia wiki, reddit, or the forums that hasn't been said
Things I've done: Reinstalled the game (multiple times), changed security allowances, disabled firewall, changed memory allocation tool, Deleted appdata, verify integrity of cache, updated graphics card, memory check, defrag, CURRENTLY moving my arma 3 to an SSD but probably wont work, i dont have MSI afterburner installed, my gpu and cpu temperatures are fine
wise barn
did you reinstall vcredist for 2013?
lament briar
yes
the ONLY way i can play this game is using 32 bit
but i cant play on high ram servers with a lot of ai because i get the 3 fps bug and crash shortly after
wise barn
it looks like you got some severe OS issues then

pretty much not possible to debug (afaik)
when was the last time you did a fresh installation of windows?
lament briar
this computer is less than 2 years old
so whenever i made it
It's the only game i've ever had such a hassle with
wise barn
arma is very picky... no doubt about that.
i consider every OS installation that is older than 6 months as "meh"
and over one year never happens to my machines
i suggest you do a clean swipe and do a fresh installation of your computer.
not just for arma, but also to get rid of a 💩 ton of obsolete and cluttering data trash
lament briar
maybe, just wanted to see if anyone had any secret linus tech tip before i go back into trash 32 bit mode
wise barn
a tip, if you decide to do a fresh installation of your machine (very recommended):
once the OS and all needed drivers and basic software is installed (no personal data), get "clonezilla" and create a disk image of your OS drive. from now on, if you do a reinstallation, you just use the created image to copy it back to your OS drive.
i do this since ages and a fresh install of my PC (personal data not included) is done in 20ish minutes, rather than half a day

first you start with 0 mods and see if that works

Check the date of the scenarios on the steam workshop
Also see if you have all of the mods required

Which is what has me stumped.
Because it's happening on more than one client,
The mod list isn't hurrendous and they're all relatively high-traffic mods
I don't want to have to tear apart every single script in the mission so all I'm wondering is if someone has a good area to start in
Trying to eliminate if it's the mission now

I can play other servers with different mods so it's isolated to this server from what I can tell

If you trapped yourself into a problem, first doubt your MODs. Always.

rgr, I'll see how much hair I have left at the end of this
viral jewel
Verify your game then
How? Also how do I know if a senario is working or no?
Can I send you the mission so you guys try it for yourself? Might be an issue with the mission.
Here it is if you'd like to try.

it didnt do this while i was offline playing just here when i got the art of war update and higher

It may just happened because KOTH has A LOT of players/objects/whatevers than usual singleplayer missions, but IDK

Answer my every questions
fathom quarry
alright
when i load in arma 3 with Task force radio it says not connected to teamspeak
do i need to own a server slot to work?
steady hawk
Are you trying in Singleplayer?
fathom quarry
yes
steady hawk
Of course it won't work
wise barn
and you need to be connected to a teamspeak server
fathom quarry
i did multiplayer
fathom quarry
and you need to be connected to a teamspeak server
do i need to buy a server slot for it to work?
wise barn
no...?
you need to be on the same teamspeak server of the server you are playing multiplayer on
otherwise TFAR won't work
fathom quarry
do i need a bookmark server?
wise barn
ok...
have you EVER used teamspeak at all?
fathom quarry
i used
wise barn
so, you know what teamspeak is and how it works, right?
fathom quarry
Yes
wise barn
good...
you want to play on the server from unit XYZ, and that server requires TFAR. this means, that this unit also has their own teamspeak server.
you then not only join their game server, but also their teamspeak server for TFAR to work and NOT spit out the not connected to teamspeak error
if you load TFAR and it is not required, you get this error. same as running TFAR and not being connected to a teamspeak server
fathom quarry
do i need a bookmark server for it to work?
fathom quarry
are you trolling me?
no
wise barn
then read it again, but slowly this time.
TFAR doesn't give a 💩 about if a server is bookmarked or not
the important part is, that the teamspeak server you are joining is related to the game server you are on

Hi guys, im not sure if im in the right chat for this question but, i was wondering on how one can make a private lobby so my friends and i could play co-op missions together. I am newer to arma 3 and have basically no idea what im doing but i've tried making a server before and it didn't work. any help would be appreciated thanks in advance.

A while back ago i was searching a script to make the scope more "Realistic" on RHS scopes but now i wanna put it back to normal and i have no idea how?
and its getting annoying. Some scopes doesnt work at all anymore. It more like zoom out, most SU230 scopes i think was is called are fucked
they look like this
grim tinsel
Cant you just disable your script?
dim ember
idk how im not a guy that knows a lot of scripting things
i have no idea how or where 😆
steady hawk
If you can't just remember, try the minimal settings
grim tinsel
Ok so how did you enable the script? @dim ember
dim ember
in editor i pressed escape and local or global execute it in de debug console i think
not sure
grim tinsel
then you should just be able to restart the game to remove it
steady hawk
*Restart the mission
grim tinsel
Or that
dim ember
i cant its this like ... forever
grim tinsel
Ah, then i recommend asking in the place you found the script in
dim ember
in every server or place it is like this
steady hawk
Then restart the game
grim tinsel
you props changed some setting somewhere using the script
dim ember
Then restart the game
well i had this problem a while i ago, i restarted my game a lot of times
dim ember
you props changed some setting somewhere using the script
any idea where i can find it? 😄
grim tinsel
steady hawk
No idea ¯_(ツ)_/¯
steady hawk
Listen you said completely vague things. You better to SPECIFY anything that would related to the issue

ill try to find where i found it from maybe there they can help me

You wouldn't I think, if you can't find one here

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1129927793 trying to get this to work for when i do mini ops with friends so it doesnt need TS, but for some reason it wont work. I don't get an error message or anything. I made sure to transfer the AFAR folder into my mission folder, make 2 notepad files and put the right code in each before saving them as init.sqf and Description.ext but it does nothing. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? Ive tested in multiplayer and singleplayer
fringe salmon
Why not just use tfar?
Because that would require TS
thats the inside of the mission file
hardy dragon
These are rather confusing
The entire contents of the script file for "problem 1" is...
params [ "_classname" ];
[ _classname , { [ ( _x select 0 ) ] call F_checkClass } ] call BIS_fnc_conditionalSelect;
pearl umbra
What do you mean? Error messages tell you you are using an undefined variable
hardy dragon
Well I assumed with problem 2 that there would be a missing bracket or something, perhaps I just need to count them all 🤔 but that "problem 1", what does that script even do? I should add; I'm basically tinkering with one of the KP Liberation missions.
pearl umbra
I have no idea, but you are using the _classname variable without ever assigning to it
Actually I see it is set in params, so you are probably not passing the correct arguments when calling the script/function
hardy dragon
Technically not 😂 I didn't write that line of text, but if it's not going to stop anything in the game from functioning then I'll ignore it for now.
Problem 2; would you say I just need to look for all of the ['s and ]'s and make sure there is the same number of them? This is the bit it's complaining about...
For the record I've been tinkering with this for a couple of weeks, it's just these few snags that seem to be nagging me now.
pearl umbra
Read the error messages, [ and ] is not the problem
blufor_squad_inf_light is never defined/assigned to
hardy dragon
mmmm I wonder
It's in the presets
but would it need to be called from somewhere else 🤔
pearl umbra
Send the entire file
hardy dragon
sure thing, one sec..
this is the file it's flagging up
the blufor_squad_light_inf is referenced here
pearl umbra
Oh, if it is defined in custom.sqf you need to call that before using it
hardy dragon
but I'm wondering if it should be appearing somewhere else as well; most likely I should check through the scripts that spawn friendly troops
pearl umbra
I don't think custom.sqf is being called
hardy dragon
figures
it should be; one sec...
Here for example:
I've set each of those snippets in the kp_liberation_config.sqf to use 'custom', the only one it seems to complain about it that light infantry squad in the Blufor custom.sqf 🤔
pearl umbra
Put a diag_log "something" in custom.sqf, and check if it shows up in the rpt
hardy dragon
Just at the top?
pearl umbra
That is because it is the first one it encouters, script stops running after that
Yeah
hardy dragon
right, makes sense
Ok now I'm confused. Those errors appeared when I got to the lobby, and my 3rd problem that I hadn't mentioned yet was that my parameters were being ignored and I couldn't change them via the lobby... Well I just went to the lobby and changed my parameters 😂 going to try spawning in now and see if it's borked in any way............................
Ok here come some errors; I'll come back to you in a bit, I've got to drag my laptop back to the house and then read through these to see if I can work out what's up.
wait...
now it's complaining about line 15 which is this
Shouldn't it be saying "This is a list of XYZ" above that? 🤔
pearl umbra
What is the error message?
Wait, you need a semicolon after the first line
Like this: diag_log "something";

Hey I got a problem with a scenario I'm playing with my friends. After a save and load I cannot open group management
hardy dragon
I just spotted something as the console was doing its thing... Don't suppose this has anything to do with it:
pearl umbra
Probably not
hardy dragon
not convinced 😂
pearl umbra
Does it say "something" anywhere?
If not, then custom.sqf is not being called, which would explain why the variables aren't defined
hardy dragon
oddly no
but you're right, that explains that 🤔
ah
it has pointed me at a stray comma though 😂
pearl umbra
Here is a list of everything that is wrong in the script:
hardy dragon
uh oh... 😄
pearl umbra
Easier to read in the terminal with colors though...
The line with the error on it will be the middle one
Most of the time
Some of the errors might be caused by the errors that come before it
112 trailing comma, 224 missing closing ", 238 missing closing "
torn tartan
heyho i have a question
pearl umbra
Fix those and Arma will be happy
hardy dragon
112 trailing comma, 224 missing closing ", 238 missing closing "
Looking now, thanks
pearl umbra
@torn tartan I very much doubt that is expected behavior
hardy dragon
that 6pdr gun has lost me. The missing quotes on 224 and 238 are easily fixed, but trailing comma on 112....
["LIB_M1919_M2",30,30,0], //M1919 Browning
["fow_w_6Pounder_usa",100,200,0], //57mm AT Gun
["LIB_M2_60",60,60,0] //M2 60mm Mortar
pearl umbra
Looks like you removed that one already
hardy dragon
It's going to be a eureka moment where it's something really small staring me in the face
hm
lemme give this a whirl then
pearl umbra
In the file you sent "LIB_M"_60" ... is on line 112, had a comma after the ] which shouldn't be there
hardy dragon
OIC
fair enough
Haha that's funny... So progress; the fixes you suggested of course helped. One or two tiny things still going on but I can easily sort those, one of which was... I loaded into the Platoon Commander slot and was greeted by the word "SORRY" in the biggest font size imaginable, and underneath it said "You are not authorized to play the commander slot" 🤣 right, I know where I stand.
Anyway thanks @pearl umbra , hopefully I can finish tinkering from here.. 🤞

I think the arsenal might actually be the last snag; when I spawn in my arsenal shows me -everything- from the base game, DLC, and mods. I basically want it to only list a handful of equipment.

the server thinks it should be correct too 😂

Alright I need help Im using a mic that uses a XLR cable and a sound mixer the system is connected to my pc VIA usb... My mic works on discord. GTA. ETC, however it doesn't work on games that use independent sound systems meaning they don't rely on steam. Such as ARMA, Steam picks up my mic and when I do mic tests it plays back what I say into my mic. I can hear my game but when I use VC No-one can hear me. I've tried everything from making steam admin too checking if my mic is default win 10 mic which it is. as well ive tried making it a comm device and it still won't work so I changed it back to default. Please if you can help that would be amazing Thank you for your time reading this!

Check your mixer

Just that it is used by arma
grand perch
My mixers software doesn't display that
shut socket
On your computer settings

@grand perch
what "mixer" is it that you have?
wise barn
Well, no surprise to me that you are having some issues... This device was mainly designed to work with iOS and pro tools.
I just arrived at work, will suggest you a workaround later
wise barn
"converted" is the keyword here. They simply took the iOS drivers and made them somewhat working-ish with windows.
Gimme an hour or two and I'll come back to you
grand perch
You are right, alright... Thank you a lot for your time talk to you soon!
wise barn
@grand perch
I'm still at work and got no access to a pc to look up some stuff, so my solution for you might be a bit vague (explaining out of my head)
If you haven't already, download and install OBS.
Also download and install Virtual Cable
https://vb-audio.com/Cable/
Open OBS and create an new scene. Add your mic as an input device (duet mic input). Also add filters like noise canceling ect to it if you like.
In your OBS audio settings, activate the monitoring for your mic and select the virtual cable input as device.
Now go to all your applications (TeamSpeak, discord, Skype, ect) and select virtual cable output us your device. Do this also for your windows sound options.
If you got questions, ping me please. I might be at home in 6h or so to answer in more detail

oof...
reboot?
grand perch
yes
grand perch
ima just uninstall it and reinstall it
wise barn
ok.
i'm kinda out of ideas then.
wise barn
ok, good. still got the echoing / feedback when you set the monitor output to monitor only (mute output)?
wise barn
did you set the virtual cable as your default recording device?
wise barn
do you see the UV meter in the sound settings move when you talk into your mic (virtual cable)?
wise barn
ok, this is really weird
grand perch
ik
wise barn
when you press caps lock, your name appears on the bottom left corner?
and ingame audio options the microphone bar is full right?
grand perch
yes
I see my name and it shows im speaking however when I say can anyone hear me noone responds

well, VC works. that's for sure.
i get the feeling that they either trolling you, or have VON muted 😄
got no other ideas

no need to try I know its gonna work
it worked on phasmophobia
so heres the weird thing
my mic I use works with all games that use steams vc engine
however it doesnt if it relys on something else
wise barn
when did you get the duet?
grand perch
a couple years ago never used it
wise barn
ok, no chance for a refund then
grand perch
yeah
it doesnt matter to me
as long as discord works
Like gta works fine
so idk why any other game doesnt work
wise barn
imo, it might be better to sell the duet and get a more up to date interface.
you can get good budget interfaces from behringer for 40ish euro which works for sure

In which channel are you "transmitting"? You can use < and > on your keyboard to circle between the available channels. I.e. if you want to talk to your Squad and you are talking to the "Vehicle channel", then they won't be able to hear you

Then might be mic issues.check if it works fine with other games. Make sure that it's not muted and Arma has permission to use your mic. Other than that, ain't sure what the problem might be

Hey, im currently running into a problem with the vanilla arma 3 launcher and also the A3launcher(tried Arma3Sync, thats starts but wont show any of the addons when i still had them downloaded from workshop). When i try to open them nothing happens. I already followed the troubleshooting guide, unsubscribed my workshop items, reinstalled arma 3 multiple times, deleted the arma 3 profiles in documents and the arma 3 launcher folder in appdata/local.
redist is installed and up2date
safemode didnt work
also tried changing to dev build and back

Okay so I am having the weirdest glitch
So basically, for whatever reason, only in arma, I can only hear most audio out of one ear, BUT, I can still hear auxillary audio (bullets landing, vehicle engines, wind blowing, crickets, etc.) out of both ears. AND I can't hear gunshots at all, but I can still hear explosions. I can also still hear things like youtube videos and discord calls without issue.This problem just randomly appeared a few days ago after about 5000 hours (whoops) of no issues. So far, i've verified that the issue is coming from my headphones, as I tried playing the game with a different pairs of headphones, and it worked fine on the other headphones, but not my main pair. I've also tried disabling all mods, updating, uninstalling, and reinstalling audio drivers, so basically, everything obvious. I just want to see if anyone here can help me fix because I don't want to have to try to reinstall because of my shitty internet (300 KB/s on a good day). Any help is appreciated 🙂

Yeah... Arma 3 has a hiccup with any USB audio things. Just forget about it... and plug others...
uncut trellis
well first could try making sure its not in some surround sound mode
Arma has only stereo audio
steady hawk
Well, I don't have them so... I just heard so. But everyone seems had such things
uncut trellis
any device you use, needs also be set as Windows default device
because Arma uses only the default device
steady hawk
(for now)
agile saffron
Okay, so for some reason, I never use surround sound so I never realized that apparently the button has stopped working
I'm guessing that's something to do with the issue but surround sound isn't on
So might reinstalling fix this? Because with mods, reinstalling is easily going to take me a month🙁
Wouldn't be Arma if everything just worked
uncut trellis
no its not Arma problem as much I think
more a windows sound problem
and how that connects to Arma

Hello. I was building a modded mission and realized that I don't spawn with my weapons. I am using the BI basic respawn set up, using modules from the main game. I have playable units that have everything, their weapons, uniform, ect. But when I spawn in a LAN server, My player doesn't have his weapons. He has the rest of his loadout, even the ammo for his gun, But no weapon. Has anyone had an issue like this? How can I fix it?

Does it happen with every gun?
delicate agate
Well, I have not tested many, but it happens to all loadouts I am using. Let me test that
I've tested 3 from different mods, They all Did not work.
shut socket
Does it work in eden?
delicate agate
What do You mean by that? I am using Eden for all of this
shut socket
Like singleplayer eden
delicate agate
Yes.
shut socket
Does the respawn menu show that the kit has a gun
delicate agate
When I activate it, yes.
But it shows as a loadout that The unit started with. I placed a unit, and then I changed the loadout. When I look at the "choose loadout" option It shows the old one, Not the one I gave the Unit.

Haven't seen the log file, but it's most likely caused by a bad mission script or bad mod.

ive been getting 5 to 7 fps and never goes beyond it despite the game running well over 60fps yesterday, i tried reinstalling the game, changing the gpu, updating the gpu driver, tried the weird commands to help boost performance
steady hawk
Disable all MODs if you find an issue, ALWAYS
rigid panther
nope
i joined 77th jsoc as usual today and suddenly i get that lag
yesterday the server i played in ran fine was good
steady hawk
Try in single
shut socket
Or in a diffrent server
rigid panther
Try in single
same problem
i tried everything literally
single and vanilla servers
its def a bottleneck somewhere
its not that slow if it ran fine yesterday
anyone knows of any fix?
i need to get my daily dose of arma or ill go insane
shut socket
Did your video settings change?
rigid panther
nope
the gpu usage never goes above 20%
help me plez 😢
i did not play arma the whole day and im going crazy
steady hawk
Just chill and wait until someone throws a favor
rigid panther
i cant chill im gonna go nuts
also for some reason the arma runs on 32 bit
idk why
steady hawk
Because you orders to run 32. There's 64
rigid panther
wht mine is 64
@steady hawk
something is wrong with the driver
i get 200 fps in cs but now barely 60 fps with very noticable input lag

IIRC one of the recent Windows 10 updates is causing issues for some people:

@rigid panther
easy, easy...
just chill and hold your breath for a sec. count to 10 and do this:
start the arma launcher
go to "parameter" tab
on platform select 64-bit
rigid panther

easy, easy...
just chill and hold your breath for a sec....
oh ok thanks SM
wise barn
but don't expect wonders. you won't be getting 60FPS most likely. 40FPS are copmmon and to expect
wise barn
the launcher is 32bit
rigid panther
no the game itself
wise barn
the game is whatever you select in the tab i told you
wise barn
no the game itself
where does it tell you that it is 32bit?
wise barn
screenshot plz
rigid panther
wait
wise barn
wise barn
have you ever installed mods? did you ever copy something to the arma 3 root folder?
rigid panther
well helps a bit
rigid panther
have you ever installed mods? did you ever copy something to the arma 3 root fol...
ace
wise barn
how?
rigid panther
but its disabled
wise barn
via steam workshop?
rigid panther
by adding local files
wise barn
first: that BS to do. use the steam workshop for mods
second: where did you install the mod?
rigid panther
wherever the launcher brought me
rigid panther
i just copy pasted it from a zip file
wise barn
this is essential
rigid panther
i deleted all my mods, was only a few
wise barn
did you ever but something into ..\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Addons?
rigid panther
yeah there i think
wise barn
NEVER EVER do that
rigid panther
y
wise barn
this is the arma 3 root folder. everything in there will be launched at startup, no matter what
wise barn
👆
dis
you got two options now:
1: you delete the addon folder and reinstall arma
2: you identify every PBO that is not vanilla arma and delete that
rigid panther
Uninstall doesn't remove “added files”
it was a complete delete and reinstall from steam
steady hawk
Nope
wise barn
as a rule of thump: if you don't know what you are doing exactly, keep your fingers off of it and use the steam workshop only!
steady hawk
Search other addons folder in DLC folders
steady hawk
If you ever done that terrible putting a pbo into addons folder, search and get rid of them, for your life
rigid panther
yeah i dont think i did that
steady hawk
wise barn
ok. now launch arma, go to the editor and place a unit.
press play (bottom right) and check your FPS
(select any terrain, like altis)
rigid panther
ok
i feel like its a gpu issue
its been stuck at 18% since this problem
and its across all games
wise barn
then you have a CPU/RAM bottleneck
rigid panther
nuuu but it was fine yesterday
no joke
60-70fps
perfectly fine
and today weird crap
wise barn
PC or laptop?
rigid panther
pc
wise barn
what CPU?
