Both are PCs ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Desktop, right?

rigid panther
#

i5 8400

#

it worked fine for the last 2 days

wise barn
#

make sure your internal GPU (CPU graphics) is disabled

rigid panther
#

hdmi is physically connected to the gpu

#

there is no way

#

it can be cpu graphics

wise barn
#

still, make sure CPU graphics is disabled

rigid panther
#

yes

#

its disabled

wise barn
#

where did you check?

rigid panther
#

bios

wheat jay
#

hello all, unsure whether to ask here or in #server_admins but i cant connect to my server because its saying the following.

wise barn
wheat jay
#

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

wise barn
#

did you try the editor thing yet?

rigid panther
#

barely playable

#

but better than 7fps

wise barn
#

out of ideas ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

@wheat jay
as it says, not the same version
keys are present in the server's keys folder?

wheat jay
#

yes sir

rigid panther
wheat jay
#

is there some strange arma thing where all of the keys must also be present in my local files?

rigid panther
#

someone help me

#

i dont wanna rot in 7fps

wise barn
#

@rigid panther
just calm down... reduce profanity pls

That key needs to be in the server keys folder, and match the key on your machine.

wheat jay
#

thats the key and its on both the server and my own machine 🤔

rigid panther
#

YOO

#

ITS WORKING @wise barn

#

300 fps

wise barn
#

that's in the menu...

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

wheat jay
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯ x2

rigid panther
#

still

#

300fps

#

lmao

#

🥲

narrow reef
wheat jay
#

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

rigid panther
#

is 40 to 60 fps normal?

#

in nearly max

wheat jay
#

probably around that ye

rigid panther
#

hmm

wheat jay
#

depends on your hardware etc

rigid panther
#

in campaign it is

#

maybe in multi i need to decrease

#

bc it will lag

wheat jay
#

yep 😉

rigid panther
#

:(

wise barn
rigid panther
wise barn
#

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

rigid panther
#

what tf

#

bruh

#

why

#

for such an old game

wise barn
#

because

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

rigid panther
#

:<

wise barn
#

age has nothing to do with it

rigid panther
#

true

#

my pc lags in pong

wise barn
#

it's the engine and what it can do / does

#

there is no other engine that can do what arma needs

rigid panther
#

i alt tabbed out of the game and the game crashed

wise barn
#

full screen or full screen windowed mode?

rigid panther
#

full screen

wise barn
#

use the latter

rigid panther
#

kk

wise barn
#

game on SSD or HDD?

rigid panther
#

hdd

wise barn
#

meh

#

put it on SSD

rigid panther
#

i dont have an ssd

wise barn
#

reduces the micro stutter and lag spikes drastically

wise barn
rigid panther
#

i use hdd with optane so its better than normal hdd

wise barn
#

for real... this is 2021... get an SSD drive 😄

rigid panther
#

dude.. im not rich

wise barn
#

me neither 😄

#

it's 100 bucks

rigid panther

that emoji makes this conversation annoying

He is giving you help to make your game run better

wise barn
#

🙃
better?

rigid panther
#

;-;

#

;----;

wise barn
#

anyway, this is the best you can do

rigid panther
#

yes

#

its not worth getting any electronics now

#

price would probably fall after a year or a two

wise barn
#

prices for SSDs are pretty steady for the last 2 years

#

you can get a 1TB drive for under 100€

rigid panther
#

damn

#

ill get that for my bday

#

def worth it

wise barn
#

i recommend WD blue

rigid panther
#

ye

wheat jay
#

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?

grim tinsel
wise barn
#

if this is about a "modpack"
just don't...

wheat jay
#

i got permission to add 3 separate mods to one @grim tinsel

#

i know the whole illegalities of doing such without, dw @wise barn 😆

rigid panther
#

i have a qn

#

why is the collisions in arma so bad

wheat jay
rigid panther
#

yeah

#

one dude flew into space

wheat jay
#

if youre in multiplayer i think its just dodgy de sync

#

singleplayer just call it arma being arma i guess 😆

wise barn

#

cyberpunk moment

wise barn
#

skyrim, gta, stalker, farcry, you name it

uncut trellis
#

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

wheat jay
#

oh yes i'd believe that 😄

why is it like that and i cant select anything

#

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?

uncut trellis
#

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

acoustic bramble
#

I've logged with my actual account. The same that was on the old pc

wise barn
#

@acoustic bramble
contact steam support

acoustic bramble
#

Done, they told me about countries and moving place. I' didn't move at all (except my fingers to type this)

wise barn
#

steam / valve are the only ones that can help you ¯_(ツ)_/¯

acoustic bramble
#

thanks anyway

shut socket
#

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?

quaint jewel
#

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

karmic halo
#

Let me try that.

#

I think I pressed Ignore

quaint jewel
#

The RPT says "breakpoint" which sounds very much like the repeat button

karmic halo
#

Let me double check, don't wanna say something wrong

quaint jewel
#

usually just press abort if you don't care about it

#

could also report it to CUP people 😄

karmic halo
#

I thought Abort would kill the game 😄

#

Isn't ignore the button I should press if IDK 😄

quaint jewel
#

either ignore or abort

karmic halo
#

Abort did it

karmic halo
quaint jewel
#

will also not be your issue

karmic halo
#

Only if it causes the perf issues

quaint jewel
#

perf issues sounds like profiling build

karmic halo
#

wdym?

quaint jewel
#

diag_captureFrame command

#

shows you where time is spent

karmic halo
#

Looking at it right now. Trying to solve the puzzle 😄

quaint jewel
#

visUA :U

#

not sure what that is, can you expand it, whats in there?

karmic halo
quaint jewel
#

no not that one

#

^^

karmic halo
quaint jewel
#

huuuuuh wat

#

last thing starts at 95ms, and next thing is 185ms :u

#

Dunno what its doing inbetween there

karmic halo
#

I have no clue what I am doing 😄

quaint jewel
#

Remind me tomorrow and I'll look what it might be

karmic halo
#

Want a ticket?

quaint jewel
#

no

karmic halo
#

okay, gonna remind you tomorrow

#

Thanks for your help 🙂

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.

night eagle
#

I'm setting up TFAR and I'm getting this,

#

What does it mean?

#

Now I'm getting this.

night eagle
#

I think I fixed it,

#

But when connecting to the teamspeak it doesn't drag me into the correct teamspeak channel

weary sky
#

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)

karmic halo
quaint jewel
#

@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?

karmic halo
#

Yes

#

250 AI but like 20km away and disabled via dynamic sim

quaint jewel
#

maybe it helps to not only disableSim, but also disable sensors

karmic halo
#

I am checking that right now

#

disableRemoteSensors true;
Didn't do anything =/

I feel this is getting more and more common

grim tinsel
shut socket
#

Well it happened just yesterday too

warm marsh
#

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.

shut socket
#

How doesn't it work

wise barn
#

@warm marsh
explain step by step how you save it

warm marsh
#

So,

#

I make the mission,

#

Save it to the MPmissions folder

wise barn
#

stop

warm marsh
#

Ok

wise barn
#

explain the step of saving

warm marsh
#

I click the save button at the top left corner

wise barn
#

meh

grim tinsel
warm marsh
#

I tried that

wise barn
#

export as -> multiplayer

grim tinsel
#

Top left scenario -> export -> MP

wise barn
grim tinsel
#

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

warm marsh
#

Ah

shut socket
#

On altis it should

grim tinsel
#

^

wise barn
#

if it is on altis, it's missionname.altis.pbo

warm marsh
#

Alrighty then

#

More specifically

#

I'm trying to use it for TASDT

wise barn
#

do you have file extensions visible in the explorer?

warm marsh
#

Sorry?

wise barn
warm marsh
#

Nope

wise barn
#

do it 😄

warm marsh
#

Wait you mean like PBOmanager and stuff?

wise barn
#

no

warm marsh
#

oh

wise barn
#

do you see file.extension like image.JPG or just image?

#

or executable.exe

warm marsh
#

For example, I named this MICH2000 Snek, but I don't see a .png at the end of it, even after the extension thingy.

wise barn
#

ok, follow the instructions of the link i posted earlier

warm marsh
#

I did already

wise barn
#

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

sly echo
#

kicked off game battle eye needs restart

#

i closed game a few times still no work am i doing anything wrong?

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

wise barn
#

link to the workshop item of the RH reupload please

#

@wheat jay

wise barn
#

@drowsy current
you have a customer

#

@wheat jay
delete those mods. those are illegal reuploads

#

use the original versions by Robert Hammer

wheat jay
#

yes sir

#

any ideas whats up with this key thing?

wise barn
#

not until you use the original mods and the issue persists. my guess now: mod issue with the illegal mod

wheat jay
#

its showing every mod as not being signed even though they were taken straight from the workshop 🤔

#

same thing @wise barn

wise barn
#

you must copy the files from the mod's keys folder to the server's key folder

toxic valve
#

The new Exile.bikey from dropbox its not on the Folder and on serverfiles its old i think

wheat jay
#

ive done what Thomas has said but still

#

ive already copied the mods keys to the server key folder

rigid panther
#

@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

wise barn
#

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

rigid panther
wise barn
#

Still, this two cards are so far apart, you're literally pulling the handbrake on your rig

rigid panther
#

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

rigid panther
#

For me it drops to 40ish at the HQ in 77th JSOC with everyone assembled in a near full server (60 ppl)

grim tinsel
#

Sounds like a question for #hardware_vs_arma , but I doubt there are a lot of pcs that have a minimum fps of 60

shut socket
#

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.

near hollow
#

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

weary sky
#

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.

fringe salmon
#

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

grim tinsel
#

Mods? @fringe salmon

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

grim tinsel
dreamy hedge
#

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

wise barn
#

Can you even get to the menu?

dreamy hedge
#

nope, it goes from the launcher to the loading graphic and then gets stuck on the black screen

wise barn
#

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

dreamy hedge
#

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?

wise barn
#

Run the 64bit exe directly from the install folder and set your display to windowed full screen

dreamy hedge
#

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

uncut trellis
#

@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

wheat jay
#

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.

My arma 3 dedicated server isn't starting up and it's displaying this error:

I think you might need to reinstall ace on the server

or one of the mods is breaking it

#

proven yacht

is ifa3 compatible with ace at all?

it is

it just needs an ace compat

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.

shut socket
#

It takes a long time

For me it can take 2 minutes sometimes

possibly you can have mods that have such errors in them that it breaks

#

Hello together, have the following problem. Is there a possibility to fix Arma 3 frames to 144 because I have a 144HZ monitor?

wise barn
#

lol, no...
no fix for something that is not broken 😉

real roost
#

I just can't get it over Vsync 144fps

#

Can someone help me please?

wise barn
#

what are your PC specs? CPU, RAM, GPU

#

@real roost

real roost
wise barn
#

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

real roost
#

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

wise barn
#

because there is nothing more to adjust

#

you will not get 144FPS to sync your monitor to

real roost
#

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?

wise barn
#

arma fps depend on many factors. your rig, the mission, the server, mods.....

wise barn
real roost
#

also not in graphics settings and arma3.cfg?

wise barn
#

no... nothing

real roost
#

😦

#

and buy new things for the pc?

wise barn
#

nope

#

your rig is already top tier

#

it is what it is... it's arma

real roost
#

okay thanks

wise barn
#

👍

real roost
#

just do not understand how others get 144 fps out

#

then I'm best set to 60 fps and vsync?

wise barn
#

that's something you could do. i'd just deactivate it all together and have bouncing but higher FPS

real roost
#

okay, maybe you have tips on good attitudes? There are a few things that need not be set to Ultra at Arma

wise barn
#

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

real roost
#

okay thx

These are the mods I use

Can you replicate the crash without any mods loaded?

#

troubleshooting 101: try to replicate in vanilla first

elder compass
#

no I cant replicate it in vanilla

#

OH I just got it again this time in vanilla

elder compass
#

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

wise barn
#

just.... don't....

#

leave it all vanilla

#

you need logs to figure out mod issues, and the rest is useless

elder compass
#

so don't mod arma ?
not yet at least?

wise barn
#

no, i mean leave the launcher options vanilla

maxMem, CPUcount, ect is useless

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.

shut socket
#

You could just have them direct connect

wise barn
#

static WAN or LAN address?

fringe salmon
fringe salmon
wise barn
#

IPv4 or IPv4 over DSlite?

fringe salmon
#

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

pine kite
#

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.

fringe salmon
pine kite
#

it could be either or, you use UPnP, or you do the portforwarding setting. But I guess it depends on the router firmware atleast.

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?

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.

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

shut socket
#

He seems to know a lot about that

wise barn
#

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

@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.

warm olive
#

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?

uncut trellis
#

Should not

warm olive
#

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

uncut trellis
#

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

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

nimble pike
#

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

wise barn
#

is the AI spawned before mission start (did you place it in the editor)?

nimble pike
#

its a resumed LAN multiplayer lobby so i presume its spawned before?

uncut trellis
#

can you create something next to it that could shoot it?

The Ai won't show up in Zeus then

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?

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?

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

wise barn

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

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

_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

glossy matrix
#

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 ?

fringe salmon
#

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

shut socket
#

Go into Program files (64x/86x) steam>steamapps>common> And delete arma 3

glossy matrix
#

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

steady hawk

At least you should describe your issue

drifting imp
#

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

uncut trellis
#

first stop is to test without any mods

#

as mods are always unstable variable in testing

drifting imp
#

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

shut socket
#

Then its a mod problem, you will need to find which mod is causing it

drifting imp
#

is there a easy way to id the issue or is it all just brute forceing it till you figure it out?

shut socket
#

Brute force

drifting imp
#

that makes me sad

#

god i wish it could just be simple lol

or atleast not as time consuming

client is 2.04 but server is stuck at 2.02, steamcmd saying "already up to date"

quaint jewel
#

are you on a custom branch?

alpine jackal
#

it's the "-beta" thing but i think that is standard for a dedicated server(?)

#

at least the wiki seems to say so

quaint jewel
#

what beta thing

alpine jackal
#

sec

quaint jewel
#

no beta is not standard/required

alpine jackal
#

To select stable build (Dedicated server package)

SET A3BRANCH=233780 -beta

quaint jewel
#

🤔

alpine jackal
#

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?

quaint jewel
#

-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

alpine jackal
#

i'll try that

alpine jackal
#

it worked, the server is now on 2.04 and joinable, thank you.

For real, Arma 3 had some hiccup with USB Audio devices. The best way to avoid it is just use 3.5

I've recommended to use 3.5 before

fringe salmon

steady hawk
#

Never heard that than 3.5

👍 Will try, not hoping for much, I never have much luck with verify

uncut trellis
#

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.

shut socket
#

More then 100+ players ina arma will cause problems

#

Check the keybinds

slow dawn
#

I never touched them

#

Still let me check

steady hawk
#

F12 is your friend tho. Try to use Enter

uncut trellis
#

it plays locked sound

steady hawk
#

Is it?

uncut trellis
#

in the video

#

thu-du

#

at least sounds like it to me

#

@slow dawn is this in campaign? in multiplayer or what

slow dawn
#

Campaign

#

Bootcamp one

uncut trellis
#

are you supposed to get into the vehicle?

steady hawk
#

Never heard that feature. I thought lock feature just hides action

slow dawn
#

No im unable to get in the vehicle

#

I tried every single key

uncut trellis
#

but is it your task?

slow dawn
#

And reset game and pc too

steady hawk
#

Is that a yes or no?

slow dawn
#

Yeah it is

#

Yes

uncut trellis
#

have you tried in editor

steady hawk
#

After you seek the AAFs?

slow dawn
#

Yeah

#

I don’t know how to use editor

#

Im new to arma

steady hawk
#

Not hard

slow dawn
#

Now the H key isn’t showing the tips...

#

Let me try the editor

uncut trellis
#

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

steady hawk
#

Clear the cookie

vestal patrol
#

how

steady hawk
#

Google knows

frank apex
#

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 ****

shut socket
#

Ask steam support not arma people

near hollow
#

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

obsidian summit
#

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.

wise barn
#

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

night eagle
#

@wise barn Will I have to reinstall all my mods?

#

I got around 200 installed.

wise barn
#

hope not

#

you will see once you are at that point

night eagle
#

Alr.

#

I'll check back here in 2 mins with an update

night eagle
#

@wise barn Thanks for your help though!

shut socket
#

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

night eagle
#

No, they're downloading bit by bit.

shut socket
#

Dang

wise barn
#

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

night eagle
#

Hm, alright. This happened to a friend recently and he had to reinstall everything so I thought I'd have to as well.

pine kite
#

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

#

@fringe salmon
no idea what kind of log that is, but that's not an RPT file

fringe salmon
#

thats all there is in the rpt

wise barn
#

anyway, this is your issue
ErrorMessage: Cannot open file 'addons\missions_f_epa'

#

verify/repair your server installation

fringe salmon
#

yea i think thats the right way to go but unfortunately with nitrado i think that means wiping everything

wise barn
#

open a support ticket

#

they should be able to repair the server installation without a wipe

fringe salmon
#

awesome, thanks again audio

night eagle
#

@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.

wise barn
#

maybe. idk.
you need to check your folders

night eagle
#

I don't even know where to begin with that.

wise barn
#

i guess you have CBA installed?

#

the mod?

night eagle
#

Give me 1 sec.

#

Yeah then,

#

If I unsubscribe these won't work sadly.

#

Kinda need em for my unit.

wise barn
#

that's good

#

gimme a sec

night eagle
#

Clear my Arma 3 folder.

#

idek.

wise barn
#

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

night eagle
#

Alright, thanks.

#

I'll give an update in a sec.

#

@wise barn Before I did that, magically my disk has gone back down?

wise barn
#

oh, so the update wasn't fully done when you shared your first pic?

night eagle
#

It was.

#

I'm validating all my files rn.

wise barn
#

don't worry:

night eagle
#

Let me use the cba_settings.sqf rq.

wise barn
#

steam is downloading a compressed file and extracts it. once the extraction is done, it deletes the compressed file

night eagle
#

Ah, alright.

#

Still checking cba_settings.sqf I'll tell ya in a sec.

wise barn
#

meaning: always have double the required space available

night eagle
#

Alr.

#

Found it twice,

#

What do I do know?

wise barn
#

oh, sorry, i was wrong. it appears two times

#

all correct on your end

night eagle
#

Ah, alr. np.

#

Guess I'll wait for this 111gb validation 😆

wise barn
#

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

night eagle
#

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
