make sure your internal GPU (CPU graphics) is disabled
still, make sure CPU graphics is disabled
where did you check?
bios
hello all, unsure whether to ask here or in #server_admins but i cant connect to my server because its saying the following.
good
all of the files are signed bar one which i had to recompile and sign myself, and all mod keys are in the server's key folder
did you try the editor thing yet?
yes im getting 30fps
barely playable
but better than 7fps
out of ideas ¯_(ツ)_/¯
@wheat jay
as it says, not the same version
keys are present in the server's keys folder?
yes sir
fuckfuckfuckaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
is there some strange arma thing where all of the keys must also be present in my local files?
@rigid panther
just calm down... reduce profanity pls
It says UAS antimaterial isn’t signed. Try connecting without that.
im presuming signed means it has its own .bisign file ?
how can i be calm if im not getting my daily dose of drugs
Is the server running it? Does the server allow it?
yes the server has the exact same
That key needs to be in the server keys folder, and match the key on your machine.
thats the key and its on both the server and my own machine 🤔
¯_(ツ)_/¯ x2
Are mods allowed in the config file?
starting parameters etc? ye
i was getting the exact same error until i signed and created keys for the two mods that were giving the error
probably around that ye
hmm
depends on your hardware etc
yep 😉
:(
with your CPU and GPU, totally normal
what cpu and gpu do i need for a consistent 60fps?
a CPU that can be OCd to 4.5-5GHz
16GB of 3600MHz CL14 RAM
a nvidia 20xx or amd RX 5xxx GPU
basically a machine for +1500€
and even then you will have frame drops below 60
:<
age has nothing to do with it
it's the engine and what it can do / does
there is no other engine that can do what arma needs
i alt tabbed out of the game and the game crashed
full screen or full screen windowed mode?
full screen
use the latter
kk
game on SSD or HDD?
hdd
i dont have an ssd
reduces the micro stutter and lag spikes drastically
time to get one then 😄
i use hdd with optane so its better than normal hdd
for real... this is 2021... get an SSD drive 😄
dude.. im not rich
He is giving you help to make your game run better
🙃
better?
anyway, this is the best you can do
yes
its not worth getting any electronics now
price would probably fall after a year or a two
prices for SSDs are pretty steady for the last 2 years
you can get a 1TB drive for under 100€
i recommend WD blue
ye
Say if i have a folder called @Mod1 and i have 3 .pbos inside but each pbo has a different bisign and i have 1 key for each pbo, so 3 keys in total. Will that work or does every pbo inside the @Mod1 have to be signed by the same?
Why would you have 3 different bikeys?
if this is about a "modpack"
just don't...
i got permission to add 3 separate mods to one @grim tinsel
i know the whole illegalities of doing such without, dw @wise barn 😆
vehicle i presume you mean?
if youre in multiplayer i think its just dodgy de sync
singleplayer just call it arma being arma i guess 😆
not arma exclusive btw
cyberpunk moment
skyrim, gta, stalker, farcry, you name it
its not just about the "illegalities" but mod packs often just break up because mods are not meant to be mashed up together or taken apart and combined with some parts removed
and it makes it very difficult if not impossible to debug
because there could be a bug in a mod inside
or there could be a bug from your mash up
oh yes i'd believe that 😄
you need to unfold the right side

you get my "easiest question of the day" award today 🏆
Hi! I've a problem with Steam and Arma. I've changed for a new computer and as I reconnect to Steam, I've lost off my library all the stuff I've buyed! Anyone can help me or give me some tips?
did you log in with your old account or did you create new account?
and this is kinda a problem you need to talk about to Steam customer support
I've logged with my actual account. The same that was on the old pc
@acoustic bramble
contact steam support
Done, they told me about countries and moving place. I' didn't move at all (except my fingers to type this)
steam / valve are the only ones that can help you ¯_(ツ)_/¯
thanks anyway
Steam support can be nice, just tell them everything
I am trying to debug a mission we played a few days ago to figure our why the performance is so bad. However, trying to load it with diag.exe just crashes the game.
https://sqfbin.com/sigokoxuyaxinafijala
Any idea what else I could do?
I also take diag exe crash reports on FT
Uh
there is an assert..
did you press "repeat" ?
repeat means "crash me into debugger now" which without debugger (which you won't have) means "crash me now"
don't press the "crash me now" button
The RPT says "breakpoint" which sounds very much like the repeat button
usually just press abort if you don't care about it
could also report it to CUP people 😄
I thought Abort would kill the game 😄
Isn't ignore the button I should press if IDK 😄
either ignore or abort
Abort did it
Might be worth a shot but will not solve the issue any time soon.
will also not be your issue
Only if it causes the perf issues
perf issues sounds like profiling build
wdym?
huuuuuh wat
last thing starts at 95ms, and next thing is 185ms :u
Dunno what its doing inbetween there
I have no clue what I am doing 😄
Remind me tomorrow and I'll look what it might be
Want a ticket?
no
Does anyone know how to fix this? My Arma dashboard runs at version 2.02, while my dedicated server (using TADST) is running on 2.00.
I'm setting up TFAR and I'm getting this,
What does it mean?
Now I'm getting this.
I think I fixed it,
But when connecting to the teamspeak it doesn't drag me into the correct teamspeak channel
Get a proper version of TFAR, or even better, install TFAR 1.0 beta
You can also check out the Discord server of TFAR to learn more about those specific issues (tip: read the rules and faq before asking questions)
Reminding 🙂
@karmic halo its updating AI sensors (what can they see, objects blocking view)
Ugh there's more detailed logging that would show me whats going on but its disabled 😄
So yeah, thats gotta be sufficient, AI vision checking between all AI units.
The cLVis are visibility checks/raycasts. There are only very few of these.
So do you have lots of AI thats far apart or disableSim?
maybe it helps to not only disableSim, but also disable sensors

can anyone help please
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_process_exit#0xC0000005_-_ACCESS_VIOLATION
Unless you provide more info than this, we can't say much expect this URL
and how do i get more info
...You already have. MODs, Missions, Servers, Whatevers
And the Situation. As you can see STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION is a pretty common error. There's no way to solve only with the error code
this is the modpack and i was in 3den Editor making an OP
And?
nvm
¯_(ツ)_/¯ We're not here to be trolled
You asked for the help, you denied our help. Okay then...
I feel this is getting more and more common
Eh happens every now and then 
Well it happened just yesterday too
So, I'm trying to make a mission, and when I save it to the MPmissions folder, instead of a PBO, it's an SQM. I've tried using 7zip and PBOManager to convert it into a pbo, it doesn't work.
How doesn't it work
@warm marsh
explain step by step how you save it
stop
Ok
explain the step of saving
I click the save button at the top left corner
meh
You have to export it rather than just saving it
I tried that
export as -> multiplayer
Top left scenario -> export -> MP

then the pbo is in your arma 3 files -> mpmissions


in detail: arma 3 root folder MPmissions folder, NOT in the documents MPmissions folder
Yep
o o o h
..\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\MPMissions
And it should say "___.Altis" right?
On altis it should
^
if it is on altis, it's missionname.altis.pbo
do you have file extensions visible in the explorer?
Sorry?
Nope
do it 😄
Wait you mean like PBOmanager and stuff?
no
oh
For example, I named this MICH2000 Snek, but I don't see a .png at the end of it, even after the extension thingy.
ok, follow the instructions of the link i posted earlier
I did already
download this file (no worries, it's an empty text file).
if it just shows test, something is wrong. if it shows test.txt, you did everything right
kicked off game battle eye needs restart
i closed game a few times still no work am i doing anything wrong?
make sure BE is enabled @sly echo
is that in settings or where to find it?
launcher BE tab
battle eye is on
Then you should be good to go
yeah it did work thanks
Don't you think it will be hard for Arma 3 game client 2.02 to communicate with server 2.00? Also that Line about Current Steam AppId means the server is started from the game client folder. The server recognises client files (in particular a specific text file with that number) Solution: Install the server into it's own folder, not together with the game client.
hello again, i did a full reinstall of mods both client and serverside, copied keys etc and im still getting these errors on all mods, the following is what shows up in the server console but ingame it displays full list.
A:\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\!Workshop\@Robert Hammer Pistols Pack Reupload\addons\rh_de.pbo are not signed by a key accepted by this server. To play on this server, remove listed files or install additional accepted keys and i have no idea what else i can do
@drowsy current
you have a customer
@wheat jay
delete those mods. those are illegal reuploads
use the original versions by Robert Hammer
not until you use the original mods and the issue persists. my guess now: mod issue with the illegal mod
its showing every mod as not being signed even though they were taken straight from the workshop 🤔
same thing @wise barn
you must copy the files from the mod's keys folder to the server's key folder
The new Exile.bikey from dropbox its not on the Folder and on serverfiles its old i think
ive done what Thomas has said but still
ive already copied the mods keys to the server key folder
@wise barn remember i was saying i got 7fps bug?
apparently it wasnt the game or bad drivers
it was this weird setting on the gpu which set openGL rendering or some setting to my gt 730 and not my main GTX 1650 which bottlenecked it. Idk why the driver thought it was a good idea to crossfire (nearly) 2 completely different gpus
imo its probably good if to set it to some other gpu only if it doesnt bottleneck
so yeah that explains why the main gpu usage never went beyond 20%
im gonna try that setting with a intel igpu and my gt 730 to see if its of any benefit
why do you even have a GTX 1650 and a GT 730 in it? this makes no effing sense at all
only the 1650 can do SLI anyway, but even if the 730 could do it, it would be more like pulling the handbrake while doing 80km/h
same goes for AMDs crossfire btw
- i said like sli because the gt 730's video was coming out of gtx 1650
- i overclock the the gt 730 for fun and its at the 100th percentile rn
Still, this two cards are so far apart, you're literally pulling the handbrake on your rig
no i fixed the problem
the drivers were trying to use both at the same time
now i made it independent
i like low end parts, its fun tweaking the settings and overclocking them
its more satisfying than slapping an rtx in have it get 60fps at max graphics
For me it drops to 40ish at the HQ in 77th JSOC with everyone assembled in a near full server (60 ppl)
Sounds like a question for #hardware_vs_arma , but I doubt there are a lot of pcs that have a minimum fps of 60
It depends on if arma want to play nice. Some days it overheats my computer in an hour on the lowest settings. Some days I can leave it on something like warlords all day.
Anyone know why the module create diary entry sometimes works on MP but sometimes doesn't? I have it for "all playable units"
Or have I found bug
I believe it's just bugged because the module runs before/after the players are on the server (and therefor may or may not create the diary entries correctly), which is relatively normal.
I never used the module, but based on the code it was never designed for MP to begin with.
It's better to just script it in your mission instead of using the modules.
Okay so I’ve got a problem in Zeus
I’ve made a Zeus mission with just the curator and logic entity
Game runs fine
But shortly after starting - the sound bugs out
The sound gets all skippy and stops working at all, I have to reboot the scenario
Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesnt
Mods? @fringe salmon
Yes but this isn’t an issue in any other scenario - including Zeus scenarios made on the base maps
And if I listed all my active mods we’d be here all day
Why won’t my windows key work, I’m stuck on arma and can’t exit without exiting arma
Ctrl alt del then open task manager
i've been having an issue starting the game up and almost forgot i was in this server haha, i was wondering if anybody knows about a bug where when the game starts from the launcher it gets stuck on a black screen? any help is appreciated greatly, i went so far as to uninstall the game twice and unsubbed from all my mods thinking that years of collecting mods finally broke something lol
also might be worth mentioning i've tried verifying cache
Can you even get to the menu?
nope, it goes from the launcher to the loading graphic and then gets stuck on the black screen
Looks like a error msg in the background that is setting the load up to hold. Try alt+enter to leave full screen and check if another arma related window is open
generally when i try to exit i have to tab out to use task manager and i haven't seen another window but i can try it right now
okay well for some reason this time it made it past the bohemia interactive logo but another window hasn't popped up and i can't tab out on that monitor
it is stuck on the black screen
i'm gonna use the task manager on my second screen to end task and i can give an error message after it ends if that helps?
Run the 64bit exe directly from the install folder and set your display to windowed full screen
i'll try it
just straight to black screen again and not responding as well
which also kept happening when it gets stuck
yeah it's stuck for good, gonna end task
@wispy marsh Windows key is disabled so you don't accidentally lose focus of screen in middle of fight.
Alt+tab still works but the game often crashes if you are in full screen mode. So if you need to tab out often you will want to play in borderless window mode
regarding my previous issue, is there some limit to the amount of mods a server can have loaded? i have tried three increments on the steammaxprotocalsize 1024, 2048 and 3072. only 2048 seems to be having any effect.
Alr so I get that you can alt+tab, but is using alt+esc an unknown thing?
guys
why does my gtx 1650 barely hit 30fps on lowest settings with 1080p 50% scaling
#hardware_vs_arma @rigid panther
playing the eastwind campaign on Crossing Paths and every time i get to regroup after the first objective my team just holds position in town and doesnt do anything. The town is clear but nothing happens.
any help? its super frustrating.
My arma 3 dedicated server isn't starting up and it's displaying this error:
here are the mods I'm using:
Does anyone know how I can fix this error?
I think you might need to reinstall ace on the server
or one of the mods is breaking it
ifa3mortar
is ifa3 compatible with ace at all?
gotcha
which i have loaded
i tried reinstalling the ace compat but no luck
ill try reinstalling ace then reintalling ifa entirely
yeah still nothing after reinstall
Try repairing everything that is having issues
Sorry for my ignorance, but how does one do this
doesnt matter which way you want to tab out.
Click on the mod in the launcher. There should be a three dot thing, if you click that there should be a repair mod button or smt like that
But do people just not know that it is a thing
does it matter?
Not really, just people never say it
This issue has been resolved
@shut socket my volume mixer doesnt have access to the mic, is there some other mixer i dont know about
It should, or it isn't connected properly
right click the speaker option and click "open volume mixer" right?
No, press the windows button in the bottom left, settings, search "Mixer"
very interesting, i didnt know
thank you so much
ill see if it works once im done installing whatever magic update has came out
hello i have a problem with the editor, so, when i open the config viewer in the editor, the game freezes, basically, the loading screen (the same screen when you open a map, with the map info, the one in the screenshot) shows up and then it gets stuck at like 25% of the bar, and it stays there stuck. i have to shut down the process with task manager.
possibly you can have mods that have such errors in them that it breaks
i see, by any chance do you know what kind of mods make that happen?
my english is broken lately my apologies
no idea
Nope there isnt a definitive list
aight
makes sense
ill try and wait for a while and if it doesnt work then 😛
thanks for the help fellas
my aspect ratio isnt saving
i change it to something else
then it just stays the same
anyone know a fix?
nevermind it fixed itself
how do i use UAV terminals
ive used them before
but when i use scroll wheel the option isnt popping up
ya they are the same
i take out a nato uav backpack and nato terminal and it still doesnt pop up
Make sure the mission allows you to use it
does the virtual arsenal allow it?
Wdym
?
missing mod
and why TF is this mod called @1814297223?
I think its what its called in the !Workshop file
jup, but never in the launcher
Hello together, have the following problem. Is there a possibility to fix Arma 3 frames to 144 because I have a 144HZ monitor?
lol, no...
no fix for something that is not broken 😉
80-90FPS will be the absolute max that you can tickle out of your system, and that not even steady
so, vsync will do nothing for you
when i'm in the main screen i get the 144fps permanently. as soon as I go ingame 90 or 75 fps. do not know what else to adjust. in arma3.cfg there is 144
because there is nothing more to adjust
you will not get 144FPS to sync your monitor to
But I already had 180 fps and 150 fps but no permanent 144 fps to set, with vsync I only get 90 out
what do i have to do to get more?
arma fps depend on many factors. your rig, the mission, the server, mods.....
you can't
also not in graphics settings and arma3.cfg?
no... nothing
okay thanks
👍
just do not understand how others get 144 fps out
then I'm best set to 60 fps and vsync?
that's something you could do. i'd just deactivate it all together and have bouncing but higher FPS
okay, maybe you have tips on good attitudes? There are a few things that need not be set to Ultra at Arma
the thing with arma is, if you lower settings, you shift load to the CPU
keep it in autuodetect and maybe reduce PIP
set view distance to 3000-3500
okay thx
These are the mods I use
I am getting err 0xC0000022 - STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
Can you replicate the crash without any mods loaded?
mid game
troubleshooting 101: try to replicate in vanilla first
It seems to happen when the game is tasked a lot
:steam and arma are running as admin.
here is the command line I use to start the game
-nologs -exthreads 7 -maxMem= 5 -cpuCount= 4 -malloc=tbb4malloc_bi_x64 -profiles=Profiles
just.... don't....
leave it all vanilla
you need logs to figure out mod issues, and the rest is useless
so don't mod arma ?
not yet at least?

So, I've created a static IP address and opened the ports (ie. 2302-2305) and my friends are still unable to see my server ... what am I missing or is there another step that should be done.
You could just have them direct connect
static WAN or LAN address?
They tried that to no avail...
static wan...
IPv4 or IPv4 over DSlite?
IPv4
Do I have to have the UPnP box checked? I didn't check it because others have told me that it makes your system vulnerable ... correct me if I'm wrong about the UPnP
Upnp doesn't allways work out of the box. Routers need to have this enabled. As this can be a security issue. Manually setting port forwarding the specific ports in the router (default 2302-2306 UDP) to the local IPv4 address of the server should make it work. Also make sure the firewall of the server computer is enabled to accept those incomming ports.
I'll double check the firewall. Thanks to each of you for your advice.
it could be either or, you use UPnP, or you do the portforwarding setting. But I guess it depends on the router firmware atleast.
hey so I accidentally deleted the config for arma 3 how do I get it back without having to re download the entire game tried validating files didn't fix it
I tried over clocking my CPU and now my pc won’t like turn on. It tries to boot but it just sits running and doesn’t give signal to monitor
Not really an Arma problem...
Does anyone know what "Illegal copies may degrade." means when we have people connect to our server, it seems to be happening to most people who connect to our server today, however, they have never had issues in the past and I know they own legal copies of the game itself
What kind of server?
Zeus template with mods
What kind of Mods?
CUP, RHS, ACE, CBA, Plus a heap of custom mods for our community, we have not changed any of our mods for about 4 weeks now and we have only been getting this error today
How/when the error appears?
https://i.gyazo.com/8a54041a9b926190da1fecdfc4087691.png in the chat messages when we log into the template itself
I neither have experienced with this but could you try verify server machine/game?
You don’t happen to have anything to do with cough cough star warfare’s by any chance if you catch my drift
Nope, none of "those" mods in our mod pack, its all modern realism mods
Ok very interesting do you run a dedicated server
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/arma/comments/68hlvb/illegal_copies_may_degrade_message_when_joining/ I would check this thread and do research on it
Hey Guys, I just got some doubts which i want you guys to see whether you can clarify me. I own a copy of the game and all DLCs except the GM one. I do run a lot of popular workshop-(only) mods like JSRS, Enhanced Soundscape, movement, RHS mods, NiA,VCom AI etc., which enhances single player experience as i do not play multiplayer. I downloaded nearly 200+ single player scenarios from Steam workshop and all of a sudden I was hit with a BSOD and i was unable to look at the error code as it restarted too fast. My SSD got corrupted (i think) and it failed to get detected in BIOS. I tried restarting, unpluggin the cable and repluggin again, nothing worked. I went to a nearby service station to get it checked and the guy changed the power cable of the SSD and it worked, but the OS was corrupted. I was forced to flash a new OS( i had all my data backed-up on another drive). BSOD happened when i was trying to download a scenario from the workshop and Arma 3 was not even running. I just want to know if Arma 3 is the culprit behind this and can anyone relate to this. Or is it just a rare case of an SSD power cable failure which i find it hard to believe as the SSD is just 6 months old(ADATA SU630 240 GB). Any help, tips, opinions and suggestions on this is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much guys.
P.S. The above-mentioned BSOD was the "SECOND" episode as the "FIRST" BSOD occurred a couple of days before this incident when i was actually in-game in Arma 3 editor. I "Alt-tabbed" the editor and the PC crashed and BSOD occurred and same thing happened, SSD failed to get detected. But at that instance, the SSD was eventually detected after a couple of restarts. I have an internet ongoing issue right now and i cannot download and verify the game by myself. So i just wanted to confirm this with you guys. Thank you
The "200" workshop scenario contents were not downloaded all at once. It is just a cumulative figure. i would have just downloaded may be 4 or five mods weighing just a couple of MBs when i was hit with the second BSOD episode. Arma 3 was not even running at that time contrary to the first instance. I am unable to download the game and check for myself as my internet connection installation is delayed.
Yes its on a Dedi, I will check out the article, thanks
Ok, idk if anyone else has had this general issue, but I got it a while back, whenever I go and start a client hosted server, via the host server tab in arma, I set it to internet and enable Upnp, but it doesnt pop up for any of my friends, even when they try connecting through the servers domain/name, note i didnt have this issue when i first played arma, it only started a while ago
Once audiocustoms is on dm him about it
He seems to know a lot about that
The main reason why people can't connect to private/local hosted sessions is, not having real IPv4.
Many ISPs hand out IPv6 and reserve IPv4 for business customers. The casual customer has to use IPv4 via IPv6 DSlite tunnel which arma can not handle. To verify this, contact your ISP
Hey
I need help
I have a kit box for my unit
I got new kits
so I put them in the sqf file
and it shows me an error
let me send it here
f.e.
same error on all
IDK what your mission/MOD is but just a bad author's bad job
@warm olive while I'm not an expert, I would say it sounds like there was trouble with the drive and yes using Arma triggered it but the issue was with the drive and quite possibly doing anything that required reading and writing from it would have caused it.
Thanks for the reply @uncut trellis . The computer repairs guy changed the power cable for the SSD and the PC is working fine since then. It's been like 10 days. I couldn't install arma 3 and check for myself unfortuantely as i still don't have high bandwidth internet connection. Somehow my installation is getting delayed.
OS is there on the SSD. Will it clash with Arma 3?
Should not
Okay.
What to do if SSD doesn't get detected. Again when Arma 3 is run in it?
Only BIOS will be available at that time
If it has guarantee left it may need to be swapped
Alright sir. I'll see what I can do with it. Thanks so much
hey guys, what can i do if an enemy has spawned underneath a building. is there a way to kill him or teleport him?
You could move him in zeus
since i am relatively new to this how do i open zeus?
Y
thanks, for some reason this guy is not coming up in zues as in i cant interact with him
rather odd.
does it matter that its there tho?
also does it show in map view of zeus
unfortunately yes, i can't continue unless i kill this guy. even teleporting where he is does not work as he seems to be half under the map
is the AI spawned before mission start (did you place it in the editor)?
its a resumed LAN multiplayer lobby so i presume its spawned before?
can you create something next to it that could shoot it?
The Ai won't show up in Zeus then
fixed it
placed a truck inside the building and everything blowed up including myself
If you read through this, you will find a way on how to interact with preplaced objects in zeus
https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/163919-manipulate-preplaced-objects/
Is it possible to manipulate objects placed by hand in the editor, but in-game as Zeus? I primarily want to know for the virtual ammo box system. So if I placed an ammo box in the editor, could I move it around as Zeus? Thanks!
thanks for the help
👍
Why can't I select these?
it wont let me choose one of those roles, if i disconnects it goes back to the mission before
When I look at the server list, everything is on a different version or requires a passcode. But a lot of them work when I join for some reason. Not sure what’s up here.
Could this be due to me launching arma w/o battle eye?
Some servers could be using mods
Does anyone know why this is happening?
Does anyone had delays tied to UI events ingame?
When i'm pressing escape midgame/switching tabs in asset browser in EDEN editor, waiting for server etc - everything tied to UI have significant, noticeable 2-3 sec delay before showing menu
Game has this UI delays with and without any mods on completely fresh install and i can't find anything about it in the internet
PC is more than enough to bear A3 - 9700K, 32GB RAM, GTX1080 and NVMe SSD with plenty of free space
And i noticed that my much less performant laptop does not have this delays, everything is blazingly fast as it should be
i noticed this behaviour sometime when i switched my display from 1080/60hz to 1440p/144hz with Adaptive Sync, wonder if this is the reason of this problem
mods?
no mods at all
i will record a video when i will be at my PC
My in game sound is broken for example my gun sound effects only work for CUP but they are really quite, base game and other things are not working at all another thing in vehicles they make no sound when im in first person but in third person the make sounds
I tried base game and its the same
tried verifying game files via steam?
Seems more like another issue...
Do you use an USB audio device? Bluetooth / wireless with a dongle?
@Paddy#7838
@warped token
Yea I use usb
Yes I have
Like I don’t have the problem in any other games only arma
USB Audio device is really hated by Arma 3. Use 3.5s
But Arma 3 had hiccup with it. This issue's really often to see in this topic
Does RHS have a public discord? 🧐
no
has anyone ever encountered an issue in multiplayer where vehicle turrets will stop syncing between players? so like, a turret will always stay facing one direction for everyone while the person in that turret is moving it around
I've seen it happen with vehicles from a lot of different mods and even with the GM tanks, I was wondering if anyone ever encountered this
it seems like it might be related to some kind of desync but I have no idea since it happens kinda rarely so it's hard to track it down
i suspect desync
Might just be the turret/turret mod
like I said I've seen it happen with a lot of different vehicles from a lot of different mods
one of those being a tank from GM
it might happen with vanilla stuff but I can't tell because I never play with vanilla stuff
if you can repro it with vanilla, then that would make more solid case for bugtracker
no?
Not really an arma thing, might want to check your hardware
arma uses both cpu and gpu so it is normal for it to also need power to run
and hes gone?
Help
Do you have a AMD GPU?
my friend has a AMD GPU and gets the same issue all the time, we have not been able to fix it
are your drivers up to date?
Wich drivers
The launcher just say Dead XD
have you verified your game installation from steam library?
Means?
You can use the GeForce Experience application made by Nvidia to update your drivers:
NVIDIA GeForce Experience Auto Update Drivers and Optimize Game Settings
I bought it of steam
yes but perhaps some files did not download properly
Already installed but thank you ^^
k
google "verify game files on steam"
:L
Well that will take some time
well its the first thing that needs to be checked when something does not work
also make sure you dont have any custom launch parameters set up in the launcher
Alright I'll be back later
@fringe salmon
_DEVICE_REMOVED is a win10 thing...
previous versions (7/8/8.1) where not affected by this. drivers / cards sometimes have micro dropouts but usually fix themselves within a short time, but MS reduced the time threshold for detecting this as an error with win10 to a ridiculous small amount.
it can be changed in the registry, but not recommended if you get this error once in a while
can someone help me out, so i installed arma 3 on Steam, and the game is installed, it is physicaly in folders etc... tho Steam still ask me to "install it" and aparently cuz of that my game wont update. What to do ?
is there a way to force update or manual update?
have you tried just restarting your computer
maybe your steam install is bugged?
It does that for me too
I was getting it as soon as I joined any server or the editor. Even when I was playing "Old man" as soon as I could start playing
I just re-install it overnight
Oy yo got 15 Msgs
as i said, it's a windows issue
Idk, it takes the least brain power to I do it
Yea so not in my way to fix it cuz me and windows = Bad
with my current internet speed... it would take weeks to dowload whole thing and mods
@fringe salmon
you might be able to find useful information here:
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/geforce-experience/14/150018/dxgi-error-device-removed/
before you edit anything, create a restore point and backup valuable data first
I always create a restore point before installing or changing anything that is not from steam or official websites
But I ll try
Yup
so i decided to reinstall arma 3.. tho when i deleted and resterted the pc.. i only have 7gb of free space.. even workshop mods were just like 40gb.. so dafq happend ?
i think it was a steam bug or glitch, dunno really
but next time it happens, make sure this option is last option and nothing worked "reinstall arma 3", do some research, etc.. . in trying to figure it out without reinstalling the arma 3
Go into Program files (64x/86x) steam>steamapps>common> And delete arma 3
yep i did research
and nothing helped
google told me to fix library, change it, relocate game and add new steam library but steam didnt allowed me cuz it is already created on that disc (i have only 1 disc), do this, do that. couldnt play arma 3 cuz it wouldnt update... so im forced to try and install it again. Maybe it will work this time.
and if steam wont recognize game again then guees i will have to reinstall it each patch..
Wish they could add option to patch from acctual Arma 3 launcher and not that problematic steam.
Hello, I run a server and since the new update 2.04 I went to update it using SteamCMD and it says it's up to date but when I launch it, it's stuck on 2.02. Is there a fix for this or did I do something wrong?
anybody able to look at a RPT to help me diagnose an issue
seems like if its not one thing its another and just cant get missions to work on my server anymore
At least you should describe your issue
im not even sure anymore its either between i keep getting "118 delayed functions running" if thats the issue but i could atleast attempt to load into the sever before
but now my server crashes on start up with a completely remade mission with barely anymods
first stop is to test without any mods
as mods are always unstable variable in testing
right it works fine with ought and it worked with my previous mod list from yesterday before i condensed it, but anticipating it would have a issue due to removing mods. so i recreated the mission with the new mod list and now its having issues
Then its a mod problem, you will need to find which mod is causing it
is there a easy way to id the issue or is it all just brute forceing it till you figure it out?
Brute force
that makes me sad
god i wish it could just be simple lol
or atleast not as time consuming
Arma rarely is
thats unfortunate well i guess ill get to it then
having the same issue. anyone?
client is 2.04 but server is stuck at 2.02, steamcmd saying "already up to date"
are you on a custom branch?
it's the "-beta" thing but i think that is standard for a dedicated server(?)
at least the wiki seems to say so
what beta thing
sec
no beta is not standard/required
🤔
the update script also contained this beta thing by default, so it seems right to me
i think without beta it downloads the client data as well, so beta is for dedicated?
-beta public would be explicit public branch I guess
no
233780 is dedicated
with or without beta
you can try setting validate
app_update 233780 validate
i'll try that
it worked, the server is now on 2.04 and joinable, thank you.
and they might wanna change the wiki stuff if the "-beta" part shouldn't be in there...
Might want to talk to Lou Montana
Anyone know how to fix arma 3 using very high power usage on task manger and that makes my game lag?
-beta is needed to get a specific legacy version, or the profiling version: like SET A3serverBRANCH="233780 -beta legacy -betapassword Arma3Legacy196" or SET A3serverBRANCH="233780 -beta profiling -betapassword CautionSpecialProfilingAndTestingBranchArma3"
I need some help. Everytime I try to export a map mission, it only doesn't export a pbo. If I open the file, the only thing in it is a mission.sqm
bruv im having this problem with an banana courser
idk why
its making my operating dreadful

the exported pbo should in your arma 3 game files -> mpmissions
Can someone help me? i was a zeus in a server and my game just closed and i had a messege about arma closing by itself now i can't join public servers only some work like 2 - 3 servers i was able to join
try closing Arma, check Steam data cache, and retry connecting
how
but what do i searche
^
my english sucks now aaaa
without the did you try
holy shit
and with a steam at the back
that is epic
Already posted the link Lou
@grim tinsel I dunno if it worked but i can't join servers where there are no players

@inland bridge
Any mods?

No
No only arma did
OK so I have made a custom FOB and encircled it with A ellipse (A) and set CSAT to global with ALiVE and NATO to ellipse (A) with ALiVE and blacklisted CSAT from ellipse (A) with ALiVE but NATO AI are not occupying the FOB I checked in the ALiVE orbatron and the faction I used for NATO is supported any help?
Same issue here server is on 2.02 my pc updated to 2.04 and does not work i have had to set my pc as legacy in beta to get it to work.
@alpine jackal same here
how do you set it to legacy?
I don't see it in dev branch
NVM I figured it out
Arma3Legacy202
Yup i want to know where @alpine jackal found the steam cmd file on the server
IDK honestly
Oops not talking to me LOL
Dwerkjem and derkevevin are very similar
yep
does anyone knows a fast way to debug why a mission of mine suddenly has random lag spikes ever 2-3 seconds? I tested the map without my mission (chernarus_summer from cup) and no issues. It must be my mission then. I wonder what could cause this, maybe a script or something else?
i dropped the "-beta" part and just did app_update 233780 validate
if i understood you right and you needed the beta for something, i don't really know what to do.
Debugging is never fast. Try removing some mods, add/or disable scripts. It could also be the map
you mean the log file? it should be in your server's profile folder. i set my profile path manually and don't know what the default is. but it should be .rpt files, i just renamed to txt or it wouldn't let me upload.
Thanks for your reply.
the map itself isn't the issue. Tested that on it empty (without my mission or anything added except one vehicle). Mods also don't seem the issue as with them on another map I have zero issues. So it must be something with my mission that causes this behaviour.
Probably I will debug that later.
The server provider sorted it out he forced the upgrade
Server isnt showing up in server list?
is this the first time you start running the server, or was it showing up fine before?
first time
is it a rented server, or your own?
rented
did they setup the commandline, or did you do it?
i did
hmm not sure what the connect ip part does. but isn't that a LAN ip?
i dont think so, i dont have control of that part of the command line anyweays
ah i see. well i don't know much about rented servers, if it were your own i would have said check the ports, but they probably have that covered ^^
also there was an issue with servers not updating to the latest version, but looking at the log it seems like yours is already at 2.04 🤔
So I quit Arma 3 and it crashed my computer so bad a blue screen didn't even come up. Just the last noise I heard looped for about 20 minutes before I restarted
Sometimes you need to kill it through task manager
I have that too, I need to wait a bit for stuff to show up
So how long do I wait
Like a minute or 2
Still doesnt work
Task manager wouldn't open, all i got was a monitor full of black and none of my inputs were being registered
my computer fucking crashed, not the game
So, its a your computer problem?
no, because no other game has done this to my computer
guys can't speak from von
microphone works normaly in discor or teampseak
but in arma 3 players cant hear me
i am using usb type headset
there are different communications channels in game, are you and the others on same channel?
and is your headset setup as default audio device
Hey guys I’m still having trouble with people hearing me in game not it shows I am so idk if people are ignoring me or if my mic isn’t working
^ this guy doesn't have 3.5 but USB
Also it worked fine with my blue snowball which is a usb mic
What worked fine
Then use it?
i dont have it
???
what do u mean ??? i dont have it
The other mic you had but you don't have it???
yes i dont have the old mic
Had and have, yeah...
i dont have it. is right
¯_(ツ)_/¯
bruh what do u mean
“The mic I have got an issue, and the one I had before never got an issue.” The answer is one and only: use the other mic
yes ik but i dont have the other mic like i stated before
If you don't have, buy one. Simple isn't it
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Guess so.
telling me to buy the mic again isnt gonna help
For real, Arma 3 had some hiccup with USB Audio devices. The best way to avoid it is just use 3.5
ok well u could have said that insted of just saying. "If you don't have, buy one. Simple isn't it"
so ig im just not gonna play it and if i do without vc
I've recommended to use 3.5 before
yes and i said i dont have a 3.5 mic
so u could have said y to use one instead of saying go buy a new mic for 1 single game
That's what I should admit, but that's how it is, somehow. Blame Windows or Bohemia or whoever, IIRC a Windows update corrupts it heard so
ok thanks im just noy gonna play the game ig
is there a reason why my ai teammates don't shoot enemies? they just stare at them
What situation?
Combat red mode and they just stare at the enemy. They'll only shoot unless I tell them to engage a specific target
And when they kill the target, they stop shooting, even though there are other hostiles
Which sides? BLUFOR? OPFOR? Independent?
BLUEFOR vs OPFOR. I'm using a modded OPFOR (Taliban insurgents) if that makes a difference.
The OPFOR shoot the blufor however
Make sure it's not happening in vanilla, empty mission but some units
Okay I'll test and report back
yeah so i used vanilla units and they were working normally
does that mean the faction mod I used is broken?
Highly doubt a faction would affect AIs. What Mods do you have?
a bunch of mods lol. But I tested with Community Factions Project by AuburnAlumni
i tested with vanilla BLUFOR and modded BLUFOR vs. modded OPFOR as well. Same problem
Why you ask?
Because i have the same thing and i know how to fix this
Never heard that than 3.5
okay its not the modded factions i think. Whenever I give them a loadout in ACE arsenal, they don't fire unless told to.
Btw there is a Youtuber trying to be mayor of london
he has 5%
now maybe even more
Sounds like something for #offtopic_arma 
What is the issue
Getting this ever since the recent gameupdate. Game has bee nfine for over a year before this. Any help appreciated
Try verifying game files via steam
👍 Will try, not hoping for much, I never have much luck with verify
well its the stuff you added.
nothing more can really be said unfortunately
profiling branch or dev branch diagnostics exe or some such had a thing to see how much performance different things like scripts or object draw etc takes
and I did not see your earlier question. so no need to get snippy.
More then 100+ players ina arma will cause problems
My spacebar isn’t working in arma3
Check the keybinds
F12 is your friend tho. Try to use Enter
it plays locked sound
Is it?
in the video
thu-du
at least sounds like it to me
@slow dawn is this in campaign? in multiplayer or what
are you supposed to get into the vehicle?
Never heard that feature. I thought lock feature just hides action
but is it your task?
And reset game and pc too
Is that a yes or no?
have you tried in editor
After you seek the AAFs?
Not hard
editor - select map (VR is fastest to load)
on right side panel find cars on the list
select one from the list, drag it to the view
and assuming its not empty (yellow marker} hit preview at the bottom
when I went to the arma 2 website, it asked me to verify my age, and I accidentally clicked "confirm" before putting in my age, and the default date was set to today so the website believes that I am 0 years old. now I am permanently blocked from viewing the website LMAO
Clear the cookie
how
Google knows
I can't believe your teaching this 0 year old how to bypass the age gate. tut-tut-tut...

does anyone know how to fix this? where it just sticks on "Starting" and im forced to restart steam every time i subscribe to a mod or it updates.
ive tried clearing download cache but yea **** steam is great ****
Ask steam support not arma people
well i thought someone else may have encountered the issue since... It only happens with arma stuff not any other game.
but thanks for your input
Im running into an issue with a self hosted dedicated server
it was working yesterday, i havent changed anything but today the game just loops on the loading screen and the rpt keeps spitting this error
Server error: Player without identity J. "Sparky" Dusk (id ******)
with the*s being my steamID
well, so it turns out it works, it just took a solid 60 seconds to put me in the slotting screen...
My Arma uninstalled itself?
It's in my files,
And I just launched it via my files
But steam is telling me to install it.
steam hickup. are the files still in the folders? if so, reinstall it at the exact same location. steam will do a file check and verification and rebuild the game to the library
They might be downloaded, I know I had that and they were downloaded and they worked as if they were downloaded, but they had the downloading symbol
No, they're downloading bit by bit.
Dang
i thing it's just doing an error check of the existing data and validates it. it might look like a download on steam and the launcher
Hm, alright. This happened to a friend recently and he had to reinstall everything so I thought I'd have to as well.
Check your network traffic in task manager. Then you'll see if it is actually downloading. Doesn't really mater though, it needs to work through that to make sure the game can play again. Nothing the BI team can do anything about it
dedicated server won't start up nothing has been changed here is server rpt
https://pastebin.com/MC0epfiC
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
@fringe salmon
no idea what kind of log that is, but that's not an RPT file
thats all there is in the rpt
anyway, this is your issue
ErrorMessage: Cannot open file 'addons\missions_f_epa'
verify/repair your server installation
yea i think thats the right way to go but unfortunately with nitrado i think that means wiping everything
open a support ticket
they should be able to repair the server installation without a wipe
awesome, thanks again audio
@wise barn Hey! So, I'm sorry for pinging you but it's about my Arma 3 uninstalling.
I had to reinstall my mods.
BUT
I had 300gbs free before WITH the mods installed but now it's taken?
Did I like install me mods twice? Cause it's really weird how I went from 300gbs to 30gbs.
maybe. idk.
you need to check your folders
I don't even know where to begin with that.
Give me 1 sec.
Yeah then,
If I unsubscribe these won't work sadly.
Kinda need em for my unit.
search for this file. it should appear only one time in one folder
cba_settings.sqf
if it appears more than that, you are most likely to have duplicate mods. this way you can find the folder locations
Alright, thanks.
I'll give an update in a sec.
@wise barn Before I did that, magically my disk has gone back down?
oh, so the update wasn't fully done when you shared your first pic?
don't worry:
Let me use the cba_settings.sqf rq.
steam is downloading a compressed file and extracts it. once the extraction is done, it deletes the compressed file
meaning: always have double the required space available
one is the original steam storage folder (the one with a number), and the !Workshop folder is basically just a link to the number folder
Alright.

``` interesting, my Arma suddenly froze while moving in 3DEN around and died. I wonder if the Fault address just means it didn't know the name of the module when Arma crashed or if a module got called that is missing
ah, the error msg begins earlier with
Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at AE2F3224``` interesting
Does anyone know why we get that player without identity spam in the rpt
Ita causing a lot of our group members a long wait to get into the lobby sometimes over 1 minute I know it doesn't seem like much but looking at black screen for 1 minute feels like 1 hour lol
I wonder if the devs can do anything if the game detects that error to at least just make it only spam once or mute itself lol
