Arma "uninstalled" itself in steam, do you guys know if that would delete all my saved missions?

all the files were there i just had to re download my mods

[uncut trellis]

Saves should be fine.

It is just a steam bug

[night eagle]

@wise barn

Alright! So, I've found a solution. When steam say's arma is uninstalled and say's all your mods are uninstalled just right click and repair em, don't gotts go through the pain of reinstalling.

[vast prawn]

I'm already joined units but it doesn't show at dashboard what should i do?

[grim tinsel]

wait a few days

might just be the units service being down or something

[wise barn]

it's definitely this

[grim tinsel]

^ get used to that

its usually down all weekend every weekend

[vast prawn]

@grim tinsel thx

[fringe salmon]

So I've decided to redownload arma 3, and I wanted to download mods. But most mods require CBA so I download it, but when I activated my game started to act weird. The start menu was bugged out and most of the game features are also bugged out

[wise barn]

define "act weird"

[fringe salmon]

The tabs were all open when I ran the game, the "editor" thing was gone and the only to access it was above

But that's just one thing

And on the buttom right it said developer version

[wise barn]

mod issue
some mod is altering your main menu, and it is not CBA

[fringe salmon]

The only mods that I have running as of right now is achilles, and folkwards aaf mod

[wise barn]

run vanilla + cba
then vanilla + cba + achilles
vanilla + cba + achilles + whatever......

once your menu changes, you know which mod does it

[fringe salmon]

I already tried vanilla + cba a couple of minutes ago and it was still the same but once I deactivated cba the tabs came back

[wise barn]

make a screenshot please

[fringe salmon]

Alright, hold on

[wise barn]

where did you DL the mods from?

[fringe salmon]

The dlc's?

[wise barn]

the mods, not DLCs

[fringe salmon]

Oh, armaholic

[wise barn]

https://giphy.com/gifs/thelonelyisland-snl-saturday-macgruber-YTK4TRYpsYP3Qv5P1J

don't...

delete and use the steam workshop instead

[fringe salmon]

Should I download it from steam?

Alright

I'll try that

[wise barn]

the reason for this: if a mod got corrupted during download, you then can repair it via the launcher

also: you are up to date

[fringe salmon]

Is that a question?

[wise barn]

no 😄

a statement 😉

[fringe salmon]

Ah

[wise barn]

the workshop is the go-to platform for mod devs to release their content and updates. if you use the workshop version, you will always receive the latest updates as soon as the dev pushes them

[fringe salmon]

Okay thanks😄

[frozen needle]

Can someone help me out here? 🙂

'you cannot play/edit this mission it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted ds_obe_layer'

[wise barn]

you are missing a mod

[grim tinsel]

^

[frozen needle]

I think i know which mod, but its supposed to be a client side one

[wise barn]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[frozen needle]

I found it, thanks for pointing it out guys 🙂

[fringe salmon]

It still doesnt work🙁

[wise barn]

where did you put the mods you downloaded from armaholic?

[fringe salmon]

I put in the main file, so the place where the all dlc's are too.

[wise barn]

oh boy... you 🦆ed up

[grim tinsel]

how did you put them there?

as in in what form

folders/etc

[fringe salmon]

I put the main mod folder

[wise barn]

please tell me you didn't put it into ..\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Addons

[fringe salmon]

No I didnt, why would I put it there?

[wise barn]

you wouldn't belief what people do sometimes 😄

it's the worst folder to mess with

[fringe salmon]

Yeah

[wise barn]

ok so, did you delete the old mods?

[fringe salmon]

Yep

[wise barn]

how did you use to launch them?

command line, or added as local mods to the launcher?

[fringe salmon]

I added it as local mods to the launcher with the armaholic one

[wise barn]

hmmm...
ok, repair the mods via the launcher and also verify your game installation

[fringe salmon]

Alrighty

Alright I repaired the mod via launcher and it seems to be working

I think

[lavish plank]

My arrow keys stopped working in the Eden editor. Only in attributes it doesn't do anything, It's normal everywhere else. What can I do to fix that?

Has been fixed

[shut socket]

tf u using arrow keys in arma for

[wise barn]

can come in handy for mission work in the editor

[lavish plank]

moving in text and code

I fixed it by starting and aborting the mission

[tight island]

High Command colors issue in my multiplayer dedicated server. The group icons should be BLUFOR blue, not light blue / cyan as pictured. Anyone have this issue or know how to fix?

[steady hawk]

Maybe it represents the server's setting

[frozen needle]

can someone help me with a script issue? its not MY script so i dont know how to access it. Its an ACE medical script, when I try to use the fullHeal script through call ace_medical_treatment_fnc_fullHeal, it says that _patient is undefined

not sure whether to ask here or in #arma3_scripting

[grim tinsel]

I recommend asking in the ace slack server linked in #channel_invites_list

[frozen needle]

Thank you 🙂

[grim tinsel]

👍

[pale solar]

How do I fix this?

[grim tinsel]

try verifying game files via steam

[pale solar]

Ok

Welp going take while for it load to verify game

[frozen needle]

I saved my mission while using the mod OBE, after realising I didnt like OBE, i uninstalled it. now the game won't let me load my mission 😄

[grim tinsel]

Depending on what the mod does you might be able to fix it by just manually removing the dependency from the mission.sqm

you can find more info about how to do using discord search in this server

[frozen needle]

It just adds a custom button, and yes, id love to remove it :D

[left wolf]

@frozen needle

How to transfer an old mission to a new set of mods :

If you have a mission you would like to resurrect in Eden Editor to a new set of mods, you can accomplish this by opening a new, blank map in editor where your mission was built on and use the Merge in the drop down under Scenarios.
This will bring in all your hard work to the 'fixed' mission for you to save. This may also work to merge two missions together, but I haven't tested that.

☆ Be aware that the Attributes and Addon Options will need to be redone in the 'fixed' mission. And don't forget to copy and paste any other folders (images) into the 'fixed' mission folder.

@frozen needle

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).

1. Make a backup/copy of your mission you are trying to correct and change the version accordingly.
2. 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.
3. 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.

Ready or not, eh...

but I enter from steam and it tells me the same butoo ..

[grim tinsel]

make sure that you are launching the game through steam

and post a picture of the note please

[grim tinsel]

post a picture of the item on steam that you're launching please

as in the game's library page

[rugged steeple]

that's half of what it says

[grim tinsel]

Yeah you're launching the arma 3 server and not the actual game

[cedar crown]

Did you actually buy the game?

I don't see it in the library.

[delicate agate]

Hello. yesterday I tried downloading a mod (ITC air) and started having problems. The mod was not apearing on my Steam downloads, Then I realised something. The steam downloads tab showed a 53 gigabyte download. Out of confuson, I open up the Arma 3 launcher and It had every single mod showing as if they needed an update. Today I decided to repair ITC in the Arma launcher, And it worked, When I went to open Arma, This is what I was greeted with.

The mods still appear as if their in need of an update. And when I attempt to repair the corrupt mod bellow, Nothing happens.

Steam is automatically starting Arma's "Updates" And not letting me pause it.

[night eagle]

IT FUCKING HAPPENED AGAIN?

@wise barn Just showing you ^^ Why tf is this happening?

[wise barn]

idk man.
no clue what this causes it

[night eagle]

I have a possible idea, I shut down Arma while server hosting. So I'm guessing incorrect Arma shutdown.

[fringe salmon]

I just switched to linux and I installed Arma from steam. When I tried to lauch it it launched for a couple seconds and crashed

I tried this multiple times

[shut socket]

Like the launcher crashed or the loading thing crashed

[fringe salmon]

Launcher

On steam goes from saying launching to play again

[shut socket]

Try validating your files

[wise barn]

did you use native linux port or are you running "Proton" and the windows version of arma?

[fringe salmon]

Native linux port

I tried proton too but it didnt work or I might of just not been using it properly

I downloaded it from steam with no extra stuff

[wise barn]

get proton running. the native port is not supported anymore for a long time, and the version is waaaaaay behind current arma for windows

you won't be able to play on servers anyway with the linux port

[fringe salmon]

Oh shit ok

Which proton version

[wise barn]

oof... idk
try latest?

[fringe salmon]

I have 6.3 downloaded

But I dont know how to launch it

Or use it

Im a noob kind of

[wise barn]

6.3 seems to be the latest version of proton

[fringe salmon]

Yes

[wise barn]

i don't know how to install it. i've never done it myself

maybe someone in #linux_mac_branch might know, or google

[fringe salmon]

Alright

Thanks

[wise barn]

👍

[shut socket]

Audio, do you know to fix for the slots not showing up when joining a mission

[grim tinsel]

Just try letting it load for a while

as in something like 3-5 minutes max

if that doesnt work its something like missing mods

[shut socket]

I don't have it, I just remember a lot of people having it recently

[grim tinsel]

ye usually it just needs to load a while

[shut socket]

Alr

[fringe salmon]

Is anyone here a linux player

Linux branch channels dead

[shut socket]

Give it 24 hours

[fringe salmon]

Alright

[steady hawk]

Didn't get replies for a while in a topic never means you won't get replies there

[fringe salmon]

Tf am i gonna do then

[shut socket]

Wait for people to wake up, there are people in europe that will wake up soon and respond maybe

[fringe salmon]

K ill just wait

[strange drift]

PageSize : 4.0 KiB/2.0 MiB/HasLockMemory

from rpt.log - does this mean pagesize was not available essentially?

[quaint jewel]

that tells you about the page size

"pagesize was not available" that doesn't make sense, there is always a pagesize.
Thats the size, of a memory page, and of a large page, and whether LockMemory (required for large pages support) is available.
To show you whether large page support works

[patent sparrow]

Getting an error message loading into editor (no entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgFactionClasses.BLU_F_F') Any ideas?

[wise barn]

yes. a mod you are using is messing with other configs

@patent sparrow

[patent sparrow]

Oh great

That'll be fun to figure out

[patent sparrow]

Are there any mods known to do that?

[wise barn]

could be any mod

[zealous cradle]

so all my ace settings and scenario saves just got deleted for no reason no mods were added or updated today and my UI used to be green and now its orange wtf just happened

[grim tinsel]

[delicate stag]

Hello all. I have been having a little issue for a fair while. When commanding AI and giving direction change order, the voice of the palyer increases in speed and tone "sounding like a "chipmonk". It happens with all different voices selected. Has anyone else had this issue? Does anyone have a fix? Thanks

[shut socket]

It shouldn't really be that big of an issue

[delicate stag]

@shut socket thanks for the comment. It's a little issue. Just wondering if anyone else is aware of it and/or has found a fix.

[fringe salmon]

trying to free up space on my ssd by uninstalling arma mods

clicked unsubscribe from all on the workshop but theres no extra space lol

when i check the workshop it says im not subscribed to anything

is there more i need to do?

[languid seal]

does anyone know how to get around or stop "greenbarring" (game freezes on the final loading bar into server)

[grizzled zealot]

guys how to make the list of commands displayed here

[grim tinsel]

what kind of commands do you mean? The icons for the individual soldiers in your squad?

[grizzled zealot]

see below with a yellow marker so that it is like this

[steady hawk]

Just in case, are you the leader of the group?

[grizzled zealot]

I used to have a list, but now it's gone

[steady hawk]

This didn't answer my question. Does any of your group mates have the icon of the leader?

[grim tinsel]

^ or iirc ace remvoes it, if you have that

or does it? dunno

[grizzled zealot]

no i am the leader

[steady hawk]

Did you changed ANY in-game settings during this game?

[grizzled zealot]

ace remvoes??

[steady hawk]

Don't know if ACE does but if there's any Mods, remove it and try

[grizzled zealot]

well, just don't remember exactly what I did wrong

[grizzled zealot]

огоо wow, I found the reason for this atse settings were. thank you all

Ace doesn't

[frank pulsar]

Okey he’s subscribed

[steady hawk]

Then load it via Launcher

[frank pulsar]

He did that to

Load the server in the launcher ?

[steady hawk]

Make sure he loaded it

[frank pulsar]

How do you load it

He’s going to try to load it again

Never thank you some mush it works

[little oak]

[lone pasture]

Would someone be able to help me with an issue involving a headless client?

I'm currently trying to get it to connect to a hosted server running kp_liberation tanoa but when it joins before it connects to a slot it says You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted. Then never connects

I've checked both the server mods and the directory that the client pulls from and they both have the same files, so i'm unsure why im getting this error

[weary sky]

Make sure you have all the required mods loaded for the mission you want to play (can check in 3den if something is missing).
And remove other missions from the mpmissions folder, since they may be loaded and cause the error (even when not playing it)

[lone pasture]

Both the server and the headless client have the exact same mods and versions, would having other missions in the servers mpmissions folder actual cause it to bug out like that?

[shut socket]

That looks like the HC menu, press lctrl+space

[elder rain]

Hey so my friend is having the typical steam authentication failed to connect error, and I got a hold of his RPT file. Is there a specific line I can look at as to why he cannot connect?

I can see so far that inventory items are not found which are base game files

[weary sky]

Yes, the server sort-of preloads missions and therefore requires all dependencies for all those missions.
Btw... I hope you don't refer to:

Warning Message: You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted.
a3_characters_f
Because if you see this on the server you can ignore it.

[grim tinsel]

Hey peeps, any chance anyone has an idea how I can fix not being able to upload missions from 3den due to steam cloud features being turned off?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/332917794507194378/839593351367491584/unknown.png

The actual steam options look fine to me

And I cant see any cloud settings in the arma properties itself

[lethal viper]

@grim tinsel man what the lctrl+ space do ?

[grim tinsel]

wat?

[lethal viper]

@grim tinsel nop sory i read wronk message

[grim tinsel]

[lethal viper]

@grim tinsel man finaly any way to show up 3d icons above the heads on frienlty players at multiplayer ?

[grim tinsel]

I dont know and please stop pinging me.

You're just being annoyinga t this point, and I have no intention to help you at all

[lethal viper]

@grim tinsel
I'm sorry, I did not intend to bother you, I thought since yesterday that you wanted to help in this matter and that you had a knowledge, you were the only one who dealt with me, really sorry, good continuation

[grim tinsel]

No worries 👍

[untold sand]

You can use drawicon3d with eh to Show Icon Above head

[limber bison]

Players cant see boat on right but can mount

[shut socket]

Validate files

[limber bison]

Apparently you can only see boats you spawn

[grim tinsel]

odd, yeah try validating files and it that doesnt work throw up a feedback tracker ticket please @limber bison

[limber bison]

Wheres that?

[limber bison]

no idea how that works

Hey, I'm getting the 'bad image error' while installing arma on my laptop for the first time.

i have the correct version of directx

but it seems to work fine launching the game from the .exe, without going through the launcher?

[limber bison]

Assuming this is a bug too with everything going black and white when you zoom in?

[grim tinsel]

Ah

What mission/gamemode are you playing? @limber bison

[limber bison]

We just uploaded a basic mission just to play around with all the new things

[grim tinsel]

Ah, try validating game files please

[uncut trellis]

@limber bison any mods in use?

[limber bison]

You keep saying that, that doesnt help

well not you specifically, someone else did regarding the boats issue. Its a DLC object issue.

[limber bison]

Zeus Enhanced & CBA

[uncut trellis]

can you try without any mods.

you are the first one to have this kind of an issue

[cunning turret]

I can't change game's language

[fringe salmon]

still having this issue, means i cant load any mods etc

but it works in 32 bit lmao

[sturdy vessel]

Our dedicated Server doesnt show any Vanilla / DLC Missions
Any ideas how to fix this?

[grim tinsel]

Hm, still stuck with that steam cloud error

Tried turning cloud stuff off and on in the steam settings too

Not sure what else to do

Kinda sucks since its stopping me from getting my VN Arma Commander stuff out

[vestal crane]

I get this trying to go into the SOG Prairie Fire campaign

Makes no sense why this appears there

Also it kicks me out of the loading screen afterwards

[uncut trellis]

this sounds like you have some mission file in your system that the game goes through and finds some error

[vestal crane]

It sounds like it would be this mission but I haven't even subscribed

[uncut trellis]

quite odd indeed

[vestal crane]

I have the normal antistasi but that mission file doesn't have BLUFOR in the name

maybe if i delete the map templates folder it'll work

[uncut trellis]

or move them somewhere

just in case you want to bring them back

[vestal crane]

ah i just realised the map templates included all the different antistasi versions

i downloaded it before for my dedicated server but i left in the regular arma directory by accident

still odd that it would interfere like that

[uncut trellis]

I believe the game goes through all of them since if you drop them in the regular directory

[vestal crane]

bruh, i can send proof that i have the dlc on steam but this legit just popped up

i'll verify the game files and try again then

[karmic kiln]

So, I'm trying to use a HOTAS(stick and throttle) and ive put the throttle both - and + axis to analog but in planes and helis the max is set to 50 for some reason(as in the number next to the engine icon) does anyone know why that is and how to fix it?

[vestal crane]

Can you not even raise it with Shift?

I have no idea what could be the problem but if you use advanced flight model can you then raise the collective above half?

[karmic kiln]

i can use shift and keyboard without issue

[karmic kiln]

how do i do this? where is it in the settings?

[vestal crane]

game settings

first page

[karmic kiln]

isnt that only for helis tho?

[vestal crane]

it is yeah

[karmic kiln]

so how would i fix the planes?..

[vestal crane]

i have no idea

[karmic kiln]

well, thanks for the help anyways

[vestal crane]

use your feet to press shift while your hands are on the HOTAS 😅

[karmic kiln]

lol

[karmic egret]

Hi, I just got Arma 3 today because of the recent sale, but I cant get the game to start

Every time I hit "play" in the launcher, my pc blue screens saying smthn like "attempted to write in a read only file"

Would anyone be able to help?

[shut socket]

Validate your files in steam

[karmic egret]

alright, doing that now

[vestal crane]

The SOG campaign opens for me now but there are no roles to select from

Last time this happened it was because I had my arma server on the same port but this is singleplayer and the server isn't even on

Trying to host it LAN does not work either

[grim tinsel]

Try letting it load for a bit

[vestal crane]

As in load in the role assignment menu?

[shut socket]

Yes

[vestal crane]

i'll try

Oh it actually loaded thank you

[karmic kiln]

i managed to fix it, apparently, if you have two dif hotas's binded(even if both arent plugged in) (in this case my old and new one) arma 3 decides that you can only go to 50%

[karmic egret]

@shut socket thx, that fixed it all up :)

[fringe salmon]

its wont let me play anythingt and i have arma 3 apex,

what is this

[grim tinsel]

verify game files

[fringe salmon]

how*

[fringe salmon]

can u show me what to do?

[grim tinsel]

ask google

[lethal viper]

[lethal viper]

Guys when i try to login at any S.O.G server disconect me and message come S.O.G pbo files not accepted by the server wtf is that?

[wise barn]

@tawny geyser
why not adding a header then?
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Description.ext#header

[tawny geyser]

because thats not the issue, ive never needed to add one before. the issue specifically i believe is the packets being acknowledged in an incorrect order and i cant tell if its a mission file issue or mods?

[wise barn]

@lethal viper
verify your CDLC installation

@tawny geyser
add the header anyway. does Packets acknowledged in an incorrect order blocks your mission from loading or anything?

[tawny geyser]

it loads to role selection, then once you select kicks you back to roles, and then on third time does the same but locks the option to move past the roles screen

[wise barn]

add the header and then post a full server and local RPT separately on pastebin.com

[tawny geyser]

okay

[lethal viper]

@wise barn thanks i stazrt verify now i hope that fix my issue

[wise barn]

just to clarify: you got the CDLC, right?

[lethal viper]

yes

[wise barn]

ok

[lethal viper]

i make 1 mission for my server and when i try to login that message come no keys accepted by the server i close my server and i try to connect on others server like koth ets and same

i load the dlc and i try to connect from game menu same

[wise barn]

iirc you must unload SOG before you are able to connect to a server that doesn't have it running

[lethal viper]

yes i try this to

i unload the sog

from dlc on the lancher window same problem

i hit setup dlc and mods to join for example on koth ofisial koth same

[tawny geyser]

how do i find the local RPTs

[wise barn]

!rpt

[rustic eagle]

Arma RPT

Arma generates a .rpt log file each time it's run, which contains a lot of information like the loaded mods, or any errors that appear, this log file can be very useful for troubleshooting problems.

To get to your RPT files press Windows+R and enter %localappdata%/Arma 3

Additionally see the wiki page for more info: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/arma.RPT

To share an rpt log here, please use a website like https://sqfbin.com/ to upload the full log, that way the people helping you can take a look at it and try to figure out the problem you're having together with you.
Note: RPT logs can hold personal information relevant to your system, the game or others.

[lethal viper]

@wise barn than ks you i thing now after verify is ok this message not come up 3 files fixed

[wise barn]

👍

[lethal viper]

they add the vn.key for my server and for my client to thanks

[wise barn]

jup, they are the "key" to have fun 😉
pun intended

[lethal viper]

yopu know if is out there the Vechicles cfg ? and items from this dlc?

so i can add some staf manual on my server?

i mean the IDs

[wise barn]

you could ask on the SOG discord, or here in #sog_prairie_fire
or you use the ingame config viewer

[wispy vector]

Anyone else having really low frame rates on SOG Prairie Fire? It seems a lot more demanding on my hardware than regular arma 3

[fringe salmon]

Any reason why TFAR PBO as well as ACE:RHS wouldn’t verify but all my other mods would?

[wise barn]

verify?

[fringe salmon]

Like load in. All the mods loaded in, but in my main screen the TFAR and Ace:RHS mods were all puzzle pieces and not actual icons

[weary sky]

That just means there's no icon for them in the configs 🤷‍♂️

[shut inlet]

my friend has bought the new dlc but the launcher is telling him it's 'not installed' - but he's downloaded it twice now. Any ideas aside from redownloading the entire arma 3? Already tried verifying files and downloading/redownloading the dlc.

[waxen merlin]

i keep getting error message that says the cloud file provider is not running how do i fix

[grim tinsel]

No crossposting also use discord search/google pls

[waxen merlin]

ok thx

[dire wadi]

Does anyone what does this even mean and how can I fix it?

[steady hawk]

See #perf_prof_branch

[quaint jewel]

Just click "Aceptar" and ignore it

[karmic egret]

I just got arma 3 yesterday and have only been able to open the game once without it blue screening

I have validated my files multiple times now, only working the first time

the blue screen message is either "tried to write in readonly file" or some kernel error, but more often the write in readonly

[wise barn]

Seems your issue is less with arma but more like your general system

[pliant rapids]

what is the location of headless client logs? can't find any in appdata/local/arma 3

[wise barn]

Update all your drivers (motherboard, GPU, devices, ect.)
Go to the manufacturer websites and download the drivers from there
If that doesn't fix it: when was the last time you did a clean install of your OS?
@Bman#7696

(tagging people on mobile simply sucks...)

[karmic egret]

RIP alright I'll try some stuff out

[steady hawk]

@wise barn Can't you tap the name to ping?

[wise barn]

@steady hawk

That works

Sometimes

Not always tho

[solid nest]

Hello. I was hoping to get help to resolve this issue

like 5-10 minutes into gameplay, my whole game unrenders

[uncut trellis]

any mods?

[solid nest]

Yeah, it was a server that I'm in

let me show you the mods list

[uncut trellis]

could be mod related

or something going badly wrong in the mission scripts

[solid nest]

thing is though, never had this type of problem in that server

[uncut trellis]

it may be very random occurence or something has changed

[solid nest]

Wait, question, can dx11 have a effect on this? cuz one time, this causes a dx11 error

i have the dx11 code

error code i mean

[fringe salmon]

Have TFAR and all the ComPat mods loaded, they aren’t registering w the actual game. Verified files for local files as well

This is for the antistasi community 1 server.

[solid nest]

@fringe salmon Have you tried updating the mods?

[fringe salmon]

They were all downloaded like last night

[solid nest]

Okay

[fringe salmon]

I’m gonna log in for the error code

[solid nest]

Have you tried loading directly in the server? and let the server load the mods for you?

ok

[fringe salmon]

That’s the error message

(I don’t know how to load directly into a server)

[uncut trellis]

are you running TFAR or TFAR Beta

and what is the server running

because they are different

and you have to run the right one

[fringe salmon]

I have normal TFAR loaded, and then a ‘TFAR beta Setter’ loaded

Bc the first TFAR DIDNT work, so I ran the beta

Their mod is just “TFAR” per the above screenshot

[gritty thistle]

@fringe salmon is your server private?

[fringe salmon]

It’s the antistasi community 1 server. Should be public?

Listed through ‘Internet’ in the server browser

[gritty thistle]

ouch ok... Yeah both client side and server side need to have the same TFAR beta. Only run TFAR beta..

[fringe salmon]

thats the TFAR i have installed

idk if its the beta because it doesnt SAY beta, just

"TFAR"

[gritty thistle]

yah not that one

hang on

[fringe salmon]

thats all they have listed

[quaint jewel]

Thats a illegal TFAR reupload, and not the real thing

[fringe salmon]

aghhhh i was starting to think that

[gritty thistle]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=894678801

[fringe salmon]

link to the OG?

🙏

what about the non-beta one

[shut socket]

There is none

The beta is just because the Task Force Arrowhead Radio was already taken by sombody else or something

[fringe salmon]

ah okay, well im checking the server, will probably have issue with the ACE:Compats, for RHS after this

[gritty thistle]

ARMA 3 Server 2.04.147540 Been getting alot of players on SoG mission getting Battleye errors after connecting. Since were a private server, turned off battleye for now. Seeing alot of these messages Server error: Players without identity (name of player) (ID#) with Battleye turned on. Did not have this issue last night. Only started up this morning after updating Creator DLC.

[hollow cobalt]

Heyo! Here's the deal: I have an operation tomorrow, slow internet, and a dumb ass. I bought SOG and am looking at a 72 hour download during the time I need to be around to handle Zeusing and briefing, is there any way for me to start Arma without the download starting up?

[fringe salmon]

pause the download?

during the op?

or is SOG part of the operation

[hollow cobalt]

Nah, the issue is:

Pausing doesn't work, because steam wants to download and install SOG.

[fringe salmon]

gotcha

idk if this will help, but pause the download, open local files go to your arma launcher, launch through that, see what happens

its logged as a dlc so you should be able to just deselect it right?

[hollow cobalt]

Local files worked, thank you muchly! 🙏

[fringe salmon]

[spark plume]

Need some assistance, trying to host a hamachi lan server for some friends to play the new SOG co-op missions, the server doesn't appear for any one in my hamachi group, it used to work fine with like 6 people and now no one can see it at all in LAN tab or friends tab

[spice shard]

Do you need to use hamachi? I dont use that and everyone can just join on your ip

[spark plume]

I prefer to use hamachi because I have no clue how to port forwards at all and any time I've tried it doesn't end up working so I'm either dumb or it doesn't work for me, probably just me though lol

[spice shard]

you should not need to port forward if you hook on a setting when you start the server

[spark plume]

What setting would that be?

[spice shard]

Its just on thing you can tick of there. U something

[spark plume]

UPNP box?

[spice shard]

ill open the game and see

yeah

[spark plume]

Oh

Let me try that then

[spice shard]

then you google "whats my ip"'

and give that to your friends

[spark plume]

Huh, okay let me try that

Do you host it on LAN or internet?

oh nvm

[spice shard]

host it

internet

ofc

[spark plume]

Okay so I tried that, I gave them my IPv4 hosted the server on Internet with UPNP turned on and they still cannot see the server

[spice shard]

They put the ip in direct connect?

[spark plume]

Yeah

[unkempt jasper]

Having a problem - I'm trying to connect to one of the official Mike Force servers w/ TFAR, and I only have CBA and TFAR loaded, but it says I have unsupported mods in the mike force browser and just loads forever when I try and join.

https://i.imgur.com/JNoqsvZ.png

My modset

Any idea why?

[spice shard]

then I dont know it worked for us that way

[unkempt jasper]

Those are the correct mods, right?

[unkempt jasper]

..Oh. Huh.

That explains it, I suppose.

[neat wasp]

Hey I just got the dlc and I can't play the campaign, everything I try to load it, it says there no roles to select, anyone know how to fix.

[grim tinsel]

try letting it load for a bit

[neat wasp]

Okay I will try that!

[fringe salmon]

Hey quick question
I bought a server for SOG
I got the SOG DLC on it, but no missions are showing?

is this normal or am I missing something?

Should at least have the co-op missions right?

[quaint jewel]

@fringe salmon mods is probably wrong

It wants you to list vn and not -mod=vn

[fringe salmon]

Hm, not sure. I tried that after seeing it on a forum

so just vn no ;?

[quaint jewel]

ye

[fringe salmon]

cool let me try that, thx

been a couple years since i hosted a server

@quaint jewel sadly, no effect 😦

restarted server with that config

[quaint jewel]

Is the server running creatordlc steam branch?

[fringe salmon]

Yes

[quaint jewel]

🤔

can you send me server startup log thing?

[fringe salmon]

@quaint jewel

Just re-ran the select steam branch CDLC thing

[quaint jewel]

"-mod=" no VN loaded

[fringe salmon]

but the map shows up, odd

[quaint jewel]

because you got it loaded on client

[fringe salmon]

ah true

[quaint jewel]

maps showing is unrelated to server

[fringe salmon]

I ran their CDLC thing they told me to so idk

[weary steppe]

I can't get this this trigger to fire at all am I just being dumb or is there something I need to add

[steady hawk]

What is "Exit1"?

[rugged cedar]

Make sure your are testing whether it is activating first by having it pop up a notification

[steady hawk]

This will return an error that “unexpected string than expected object”

[rugged cedar]

If that doesn't work then it isn't being activated and that is your issue if it does work then you need to fix your script that relies on it

[weary steppe]

exit1 is a flag pole

[steady hawk]

An object?

[weary steppe]

yes

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/762672846119108668/840419263713640468/unknown.png

made it again on a base game map

for testing

[steady hawk]

Then remove the quotations

[weary steppe]

ok that worked

ty

is it the same for a maker?

[steady hawk]

No, marker is not an object but can be obtained by a string, so you need to quote it

[weary steppe]

so get
player setPos (getMarkerPos "exit1");

[steady hawk]

True if there's a marker "exit1"

[weary steppe]

ok

working thank you

[lusty skiff]

im having an issue where battleeye keeps closing arma and wont let it launch

[lusty skiff]

I've already tried all of this

[wise barn]

something is really 🦆ed up with your system then. if you really tried everything as you said, only a fresh OS installation will help you.

[steady hawk]

@chrome trellis Lead to your Documents folder of Windows, find Arma 3 folder

[chrome trellis]

@steady hawk oke

[steady hawk]

If you didn't make a profile in Arma 3, this is where your profile folder. Find Arma3.cfg

[chrome trellis]

oke

[steady hawk]

And open it via any text editor

[chrome trellis]

my documents folder is empty game dye upload

[steady hawk]

How about in D:? Do you have Documents in D:?

[steady hawk]

Not the game folder. Documents

[chrome trellis]

not in documents folder

[steady hawk]

D's Documents folder, I said. You may have it

Lead to D:\Users\whoeveryouare\Documents

[chrome trellis]

it's not happening

[steady hawk]

Can't you find your profile at all?

[chrome trellis]

are these?

[steady hawk]

No, Arma3.cfg

[chrome trellis]

arma.3cfg does not come out

[steady hawk]

Where are you looking at?

[chrome trellis]

I looked everywhere but it does not come out, there is no document

Where this was?

[chrome trellis]

It was in the d folder where arma3 was installed vI marked it in red

[steady hawk]

Okay I give up with this method. Now try out:

1. Open Editor in-game
2. Select any terrain
3. Click top-left “Scenario” button
4. Click “Open Log Folder”
   Now you should see a folder

[chrome trellis]

i opened now

[steady hawk]

Uh, sorry I forgot this doesn't work for some profiles

[chrome trellis]

Could I delete the game and reinstall it? I downloaded it 3 times and deleted it

[steady hawk]

Now try to:

1. Ctrl+S to open a save dialog
2. Put any name and save
3. Click top-left
4. Open “Scenario Folder”

[wise barn]

arma 3 player profiles are always located in ..\Documents\Arma 3\ or Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Profile

if those folder do not exist, the profile creation failed for some reason

[celest hollow]

how do i fix "you cannot play/edit this mission it is dependent on downloadable content"

[steady hawk]

Load listed Addons/Mods

[celest hollow]

this is my first time playing the game how do i do that

[steady hawk]

Tell us the exact message and what are you trying to do

[steady hawk]

And what are you trying to do?

[celest hollow]

trying to join a server

[steady hawk]

The server has “required Mods”

[celest hollow]

where do i get those mods

[wise barn]

• open the game
• in the main menu, click the person icon top right corner, then your name
• the profile menu will appear
• click "new"
• edit and name your profile
• exit the game
• check your documents folders
  @chrome trellis

[steady hawk]

Steam Workshop. In-game server browser really don't help with what are required, so use Arma 3 Launcher's Server Browser

[chrome trellis]

thanks

[wise barn]

@celest hollow
join the server via the arma 3 launcher server tab
if you are missing mods, the launcher will prompt you to load them, or even download them

[celest hollow]

this one?

[wise barn]

take your time and read all tabs you see on the middle

i guess you want to click on "internet"

[celest hollow]

how do i know which one is a RP server

[steady hawk]

Maybe the server name suggests

Help!

[lime pond]

what fixed it?

[wise barn]

I am going through some solutions right now

I already crossed out a few

[gentle basin]

help

[wise barn]

wait a little

[gentle basin]

i am waiting voor 30min

[wise barn]

that's..... way to long

sometimes it can take up to a few minutes for the roles to appear

but 30min is too much

[lime pond]

I think exit and join

helps usualy

[wise barn]

sometimes, yes

[lusty skiff]

Damn looks like full system restart it is then

[grim tinsel]

or you dont have all the mods loaded

[wise barn]

also possible

[gentle basin]

its only the S.O.G DLC

[gentle basin]

and I am hosting

[grim tinsel]

ah dunno

best place to ask is props the sog pf discord

[earnest heart]

They also have a dedicated channel on this server

[plucky wagon]

Anyone else having a issue with the new DLC where when you are in first person you can't hear audio of guns or vehicles

[grim tinsel]

havent heard of that before

[plucky wagon]

seems to have stopped

It's odd

It happens in combat sometimes

[tight nova]

Need a little help... please ping me if you know how to fix it.

Problem: VIA Arma 3 Launcher > Dashboard
Arma 3 Units Data Acquisition Failed

After installing the new nam dlc I ran into this problem. I checked the servers on the arma site to see if that is why I'm having the problem and the site indicates that all the servers are down. IDK if I'm the only one experiencing this problem or if any of you have the same issue that I'm now facing...

[grim tinsel]

units service is down as every weekend, nothing you can do

[tight nova]

Oh okay... I suppose its for maintenance and such?

And is that why my arma loadouts on certain servers fail to equip my soldier when I choose one from the arsenal?

[grim tinsel]

nah it just kinda goes down

we like to say that it runs on a potato

[tight nova]

hahaha

Do you have the new nam DLC?

[grim tinsel]

Yes

[tight nova]

Are you having any trouble using LOAD to load and equip your soldier with it saying something to the effect that SO and so is restricted and has been removed from your loadout?

[grim tinsel]

sounds like the arsenal doesnt allow those things

playing kp lib?

[tight nova]

yeah I think so

[grim tinsel]

ye then stuff props just isnt allowed

[tight nova]

okay

[chrome trellis]

https://support.bohemia.net/arma-3/uncategorized/204 I did everything as described in this link, but when she enters the game she does not return to Turkish language

[uncut trellis]

@shut crow best to continue here

first of all are you running just Arma and the DLC

no mods

[shut crow]

Yes

That’s it

[uncut trellis]

have you verified the game files on steam?

[shut crow]

?

Idk what I’m doing lol

I just bought it and tried to use it

[uncut trellis]

dis

once you have done that, try launching Arma just alone

[shut crow]

Arma alone works fine

[uncut trellis]

👍

[shut crow]

If I take off the dlc Arma works normally

But with the dlc it’s just busted

[uncut trellis]

try the verify next then

its possible some files have not downloaded correctly

[shut crow]

I already was told I should try and un then re install Arma

So I started that a bit ago

But whenever i redownload it I’ll try that

[chrome trellis]

everything is normal but only opens in english when the game is restored

[fringe salmon]

does anyone know how to fix this? i can't find it online

[uncut trellis]

@fringe salmon you cant do anything about it, the service is down at the moment

[fringe salmon]

Oh

thx for helping 😄

[dusky epoch]

hey

if i dont wanna reset my router bc i forgot pass

and use a virtual LAN

[humble wagon]

Did you try a search for hamachi on the discord? 😉 i did and you can find some useful info

[dusky epoch]

im using a doff software than hamachi

but we will try hamachi

[fringe salmon]

So I'm new to Arma, I downloaded a mod that adds a new faction with vehicles, weapons, other assets and none of the assets added appear under the folder it's associated with in eden

Idk if that's just how it is by default or what

[shut crow]

Yeah uhh

Didn’t work

Verify says they’re proper

And it still doesn’t work

[dusky epoch]

yo

can someone help

my buddy cant see my game

and we have been trying for like 3 hours to solve this

such a headache

[lusty skiff]

Idk how but I'm still getting this issue

Looks like I'm never gonna play in official servers again

[fringe salmon]

nvm

it turns out all the units were in opfor section lol

[earnest heart]

Didn't expect that one huh? 😉

For what it's worth iirc you can search by both display name and (config) classname

[fringe salmon]

So i need a little consulting on a issue thats been plaguing missions i make for some friends. with our regular missions my key bindings work as intended but any time a mission i create is played, keybinds break. for example if i want to use enhanced movement i have to push shift+ space but the keybind is normally space..
its also breaks some bindings for other players... like the reload key was holstering a friends weapon instead of reloading.. would any one here know what could be causing this issue?

[shut socket]

Scripts?

[worldly bronze]

so i did everything to make a server and gave my friend my ip address but he can't find my server

[quartz pike]

Units is still down, anyone know why?

been nearly 2 days

[steady hawk]

It downs every weekends so normal

[silver ore]

not only the units are down, I think the hosting service from Steam aswell....I can't host enything via Steam since yesterday afternoon (CEST)

no user slots and noone can connect

all of my friends have the same problem

something is clearly broken

anyone else?

[fringe salmon]

same

also it says im not in my own unit wtf

i checked the unit site and it says i need to join it

[fringe salmon]

why when i'm rotating props in zeus, it breaks the collision for the prop?

[fringe salmon]

ye same, but i can´t even join that unit anymore

[patent flint]

I don't know when this was exactly start to happen, but since a few Patches, i am not able to use a Joystick to control my Gun-Movement (Aim up,down,left,right) on a Tank or IFV for example. But on Helicopters to fly, the same Joystick is working fine.

[undone thistle]

i set the game resoultion to 4k and cant get it back to normal 1980x1080

anyone can help me

[steady hawk]

What do you mean?

[undone thistle]

the game resoultion

i set it to 3840 x 2160 and cant get it back to 1920x1080

i closed the game and launch it and still same issue

[steady hawk]

Why you can't get it back?

[undone thistle]

my mouse doesnt appear

because its 4k

[steady hawk]

Excuse me?

[undone thistle]

what

[uncut trellis]

You may need to find the Armas settings config file and edit it manually then.

[undone thistle]

fixed it

any way i can make it borderless

[wise barn]

in the arma video settings use windowed mode

[fringe salmon]

im playing in the EZ unsung server and im trying to use the ingame VC but no one can hear me

[wise barn]

make sure your mic is set as default input device in the windows sound settings

[brave hawk]

if you play as US forces, you cannot use VC

[earnest spindle]

https://ibb.co/vBG6YRz

[wise barn]

you are loading a mod that is not allowed on that server

[earnest spindle]

oh so i have to delete it

mkay

[wise barn]

not delete

unload

in the launcher

[humble wagon]

not delete turn off in the launcher on the mod tab 😉

You can prevent this problem by joining servers with the A3 launcher, it shows what mods are loaded and allowed on it, also if you dont have a certain mod it will download it for you.

[shut crow]

Can’t tell if you’re joking

[steady hawk]

He's not. He's dadjoking

[wise barn]

he's so 🦆ing dadserious

[brave hawk]

VC also means VietCong 😉

[obtuse plank]

hey i just got the game and when i try to join any multiplayer server it always says i have a clutterfuck of files missing. so to play a multiplayer server do i have to buy all of the dlcs?

[fringe salmon]

no

verify game

[earnest heart]

Most likely you don't have all of the required mods... are you trying to join the servers from the in-game server browser?

[steady hawk]

Most likely you're joining to a server that requires to install/load some Mods as Chortles said

[earnest heart]

and you'll need the mods loaded before you click PLAY in the game launcher

[obtuse plank]

yes

how do i download the said mods

[earnest heart]

either manually subscribe to them from Steam Workshop or attempt to join from the launcher's own SERVERS button

that server browser (unlike the in-game one) will prompt you before attempting-to-connect to handle all required mods that are available through Steam Workshop

For example, if a server requires you to have CUP Terrains - Core and CUP Terrains - Maps (because its current mission is set on one of the terrains from the latter), then you'll be prompted to handle it before attempting to connect

[obtuse plank]

so i dont need to buy the like 12 dlcs?

[earnest heart]

You don't need DLCs unless the server's current scenario is set on a DLC terrain, such as Apex DLC's Tanoa or Contact DLC's Livonia

[obtuse plank]

is this an ea game

[earnest heart]

If by EA you mean early access... the game left that status in mid-September 2013 (albeit only having debuted in early March 2013)

[obtuse plank]

ea the company

[earnest heart]

Oh, no it isn't

[obtuse plank]

its been stuck on this screen for like 2 mins what it doing

[earnest heart]

If you click that name you should get a prompt to subscribe to that mod

if not, you could just manually subscribe to it from its Steam Workshop page (warning, 4 GB): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1368860933

[obtuse plank]

nno not doing anything

says im already subscribed

[earnest heart]

🤨 Oh, then there should be a button for loading or JOIN (the launcher should handle loading the mod before attempting to connect)

Although after running that mod's description through Google Translate

[obtuse plank]

yeah no its just been on this exact screen for 5 minutes

[earnest heart]

That particular server demands that you also have TeamSpeak and connect to their affiliated TeamSpeak server

[obtuse plank]

oh for fucks

no[e

nope

[earnest heart]

yeah, steer clear of that one if that sounds like a hassle

[obtuse plank]

nope

nononope

[earnest heart]

In contrast, if you wanted to play CodeFourGaming - King Of The Hill Infantry US #4 - 24/7 Day no mods would be required... just choose it, your game client will automatically download a mission file a few megabytes in size, and bam

with the caveat that it has its own very different-from-vanilla-Arma gameplay rules (EXP, leveling up, gear-buying money, perks...)

[shut crow]

OHHHH I didn’t make the connection lol

I only use vc for voice chat

I just say Charlie for vc

We were always looking for a guy named Charlie - Best soldier ever

[obtuse plank]

i have been kicked off of every single lobby i have tried to join because of complete assholes with "DoNoRs OnLy"

[steady hawk]

Some servers do that. Also check your language

[spare sigil]

Does "detectedCPUDescription" have any effect on FPS, because a few months back I upgraded my CPU and it still reads the old one. Should I change it so says my new CPU?

[obtuse plank]

i have tried to join 60 multiplayer servers and none have worked so im beginning to think this was just a waste of money

[earnest heart]

Have you only been trying to join Life RPG servers?

The above server is an example of one that isn't like that

[obtuse plank]

every type of server

koth

rpg

coop

everything i could find

[earnest heart]

weird, KOTH is usually open

that said, if your Steam play time is less than two hours then I understand that Valve will guarantee a refund

If you're not going to submit a refund request, there's plenty of singleplayer content to be had for Arma 3, both official and user-made

[obtuse plank]

aaand i just hit the 2 hour mark trying to find a working server

fuck

welp now i officially feel like my time and money could have been better spent buying cow shit, eating it, and then shooting myself in the head with a civil war musket.

[earnest heart]

You could submit the refund request anyway, 2 hours is just the guarantee

[obtuse plank]

holy shit

does multiplayer work at all?

like is it actually possible to play multiplayer?

[warm mountain]

[warm mountain]

what is that? im new to game

[steady hawk]

What? The DLC

[warm mountain]

like how do i load that specifically

[steady hawk]

Launcher > DLC Tab > Click SOGPF

[warm mountain]

thanks

[vapid whale]

Ive been playing on an offical server, but the previous zeus messed it up, ive been voted admin but no idea how to restart the server

nvm

[viral jewel]

hello

can someone help me i cant play with my friend

he cant find my server

i need to do port forwarding but couldnt find a tutorial for tp link

[fringe salmon]

I have a problem with this anyone know how to fix this

[steady hawk]

Nothing you can do. Wait til they fix, but every weekends it goes down

[lone knoll]

I can’t get side chat to work with both voice and chat, it’s stuck in chat only.

It should work now right, or am i missing something?

[viral jewel]

So....

About that ip?

[brave hawk]

hi, see https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Dedicated_Server#Port_Forwarding for Arma 3's required ports

[viral jewel]

Aight

Is this it?

Or is it port triggering?

[brave hawk]

I don't know, please refer to your router's documentation 😬

it looks like it though

[viral jewel]

Ahhh

I don't know either

I need to fill IP address now?

This is port triggering

[wraith schooner]

every router is different

so you might want to watch a tutorial and then try

if it doesn't work, try something else

from what i can see, you have to click fowarding, then add new, then put the arma 3 port and your IPV4 in ip address iirc

you get your ipv4 by searching Cmd in the windows search bar, open it as an administrator and the type ipconfig

if you have any other problems write me in my dm so we don't flood the chat

just a reminder be careful when sending screenshots and never send a screenshot of your cmd after you searched ipconfig

[soft path]

any body else getting this? It's been going on for a few days :(

[shut socket]

May be that steam isn't online when you launch arma

[uncut trellis]

@soft path

the service seems to be down

[shut socket]

It worked for me yesterday

[spark glade]

@soft path Having the same for me atm

So seems to be a problem w/ arma

[mint venture]

why isnt the units back up, its monday

[worn needle]

hello me and a friend are trying to play the new prairie fire campaign together but we arent able to make a server that we can connect to anyone know anything that might help?

[uncut trellis]

have you checked if anything in https://community.sogpf.com/threads/148-S-O-G-Prairie-Fire-FAQ is of help

[fringe salmon]

my mic in game doesn't work other people can't hear me

[humble wagon]

Did you select the right channel? If you press / you can select a channel to select your squad, side chat, global chat, vehicle chat or command chat 😉

[fringe salmon]

that...that could be the problem

I was in group channel whatever that was

[humble wagon]

In a group with green text?

[fringe salmon]

yes#

[humble wagon]

That is squad ;)

[fringe salmon]

but I was playing as a civ so I assume no one was in my squad

[humble wagon]

Nope so if there are more players as civilian: select "side chat" for every civilian to hear you, if you are in a group select squad (green) and only those in your squad can hear you.

[shut socket]

Or in global so everybody can hear you

[fringe salmon]

ok thanks man but just question, how do I aim in

[shut socket]

Right click

Do the bootcamp it will tell you everything

[humble wagon]

Precisely! If you use vehicle chat only those on the vehicle you are in can hear you.

[fringe salmon]

for me that's a zoom function

[shut socket]

Just click it, don't hold it

[fringe salmon]

tysm

[shut socket]

Check the controls, I have spent atleast an hour in controls memorizing things

[humble wagon]

Aim? Point the croshair/scope with your mouse movement, zoom is indeed right mouse, left shift will also steady your aim while holding your breath for a few seconds.

[fringe salmon]

ty I actually know how to play now

[humble wagon]

Check #general_chat_arma sticky posts....... the 1st message is the keyboard layout 😉

[humble wagon]

Better say you know a bit more about the controls ;) knowing how to play Arma 3 as a new player is a long learning curve 😎

[shut socket]

Like 50 hours ago I learned how to use laser designators

I have 967

[viral jewel]

That makes sense, I'll try it when we play next time. Thank you very much my guy.

[humble wagon]

Don't forget your battery....... i know for sure that happened the first few times using it 😂

[fringe salmon]

it won't let me select different voice channels

[humble wagon]

What type of gameplay/ server are you playing on?

[fringe salmon]

RPG

[humble wagon]

Ahh they will have a website posted on some billboard, or the map, that server probaly has VC ingame disabled and uses teamspeak only.

[leaden ibex]

i need help, my arma 3 is not launching

[humble wagon]

Arma 3 or the Arma3 launcher (that starts first)

[leaden ibex]

i don't have a arma launcher, i just press arma 3 and normally it would start but it just says starting and then stop's

[humble wagon]

Did you verify steam files?

[leaden ibex]

i have never heard of such thing

[humble wagon]

Right click on the steam A3 icon -> properties -> local files tab -> check game files

On steam of course.

[leaden ibex]

whats the A3 icon?

[humble wagon]

In your steam game list........... open up steam -> library and than there should be a gamelist on the left side where you will find Arma 3.

[tender patio]

For SOG Prairie Fire, is anyone else having a problem in their multiplayer servers were some of your players can not damage AI?

[worn needle]

hello my friend is trying to set up a server but is having problems switching maps in tc admin all help would be aprechiated

[uncut trellis]

@tender patio are you running mods?

[tender patio]

@uncut trellis CBA_A3, Enhanced Movement, and TFAR

[charred coyote]

hey so maybe the wrong place to ask but im playing with ref rhs ace and a few other mods and when i try to use binoculars they are zoomed to the max and i can only see the upper half does anyone know what this might be?

[pure needle]

Not sure if this channel or #arma3_scripting would be better but I'm getting an error with a group AI spawner script

Seems like it has a problem with positioning, or something related to the way "call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup" is being used?

[blazing siren]

I just got this error launching arma without any mods loaded from the launcher, anybody has the same issue (it seems to be fine but I wonder if the error is common or just on my setup):

[pine kite]

There are too many different router brands and models to give specific guidance. Continue your search in Google. Try to find manuals (TP Link likely has one on their site) instead of just videos. But in general, and only if you are hosting the server on your side, for Arma 3 you need to port forward UDP protocol ports 2302 through and including 2306 to the IPv4 address of your computer running the server. Like 192.168.x.y, or 172.16-32.x.y or 10.x.y.z.

Oh I hate when that happens, you made some headway and wrote about it just a few lines later. Oh well, if anything take this: always RTFM!

(needs better glasses)

[viral jewel]

Hey mate it's alright.

I tried the instructions above and still my friend didn't find my server.

We even tried UPnP

Which should be straight forward as far as I understand....

Idk we'll keep on playing on others server for now...

[uncut trellis]

did you restart the server after setting up the router portforwarding

[viral jewel]

Yes.

[full night]

I need help. I was updating RHS and my Pc crashed and the STEAM appmanifest_107410.acf file is currupted with a bunch of NULLs! Can someone share their file so I do not need to redownload 90 GB again? I do not have an EXTRA 90 GB free on my SSD so STEAM cannot "validate" the files as it needs the same amount of space FREE! My SSD is completely full, barely fitting ARMA + the new SOGPF cDLC. thank you.

[shut socket]

Go into you files and manually delete them.

[full night]

Delete ALL 90 GB and re-download it vs asking someone to share the appmanifest_107410.acf file content so I can just trick steam to validate the existing files on the SSD?

[blazing siren]

Thank you, it's in the pinned messages! 👍

[solid nest]

Hello! so I'm came here for this problem couple days ago. And it was determined that it may the mission file, but the thing is, is that I tested on other servers

and I get the same problem

My game will still unrendered

[merry terrace]

need help with a problem

game will crash on me even tho i checked the integrity of game files but still crash's even in single player

[shut socket]

Define crash

[merry terrace]

rip

any way to fix this problem?

[shut socket]

How does it crash

[steady hawk]

What Earthy said. "It crashes help" essentially means nothing

[merry terrace]

just shuts down and goes back to my pc home

[steady hawk]

We know. We need more info than "it crashes" such as Mods, missions, whatevers

[merry terrace]

everything, if im in single player or trying to do multiplayer it crashes

also if im trying to do campaign

[steady hawk]

As I said did you use any Mods?

[merry terrace]

no

i just got the game

[shut socket]

Does the launcher shut down too?

[steady hawk]

And what error

[merry terrace]

no the launcher does not shut down either it just says it has closed suddenly

[steady hawk]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_process_exit
Which error?

[merry terrace]

idk let me relaunch it and ill let you know

0xC0000005 - ACCESS_VIOLATION

[shut socket]

Then it crashed. You may want to lower your settings

[quartz pike]

Units has been down on google for almost 3 days, what kind of maintenance is beeing done?

[merry terrace]

how low

[shut socket]

Are they at the default atm?

If so lower terrarin, PIP, and shadows

Arma is also really RAM hungry so free up some ram by killing some applications

[steady hawk]

Units always down every weekend. Because of something, maybe nothing

[quartz pike]

Going to be half a week. I get restarts and all, but i want to know why its been down for 3 days.

[shut socket]

Servers crashed, too much load, updates broke, could be a lot

[steady hawk]

Or just Bohemians lazy

[merry terrace]

usually only have one game open and discord

[steady hawk]

Check your RAM, CPU, GPU usage in Task Manager

[merry terrace]

could possibly just lowering graphics fix the issue?

[steady hawk]

Without confirming the reason I can say nothing

[merry terrace]

alr

if i got in a vc or call and showed you would you know then

?

[steady hawk]

No

[merry terrace]

oh

[shut socket]

Record a video

[steady hawk]

Or screenshot

[merry terrace]

ok give me a min

[steady hawk]

Before that

What's your spec

[merry terrace]

ight hold on

It runs eft and other games no problem

[steady hawk]

Doesn't seem bad to run Arma 3

[merry terrace]

idk

game just crashs and shows that error

[steady hawk]

How it crashes? Can you do anything with Arma 3 at least?

[merry terrace]

yeah it will go into arma for a bit then crash

[steady hawk]

Precisely. Vanilla? Mission?

[merry terrace]

anything
