hello, I have a problem, with a friend we want to play arma emseble but when I host a game, he cannot connect, he does not see me with in the friends tab, nor in direct connection. I activate or not the upnp but nothing or change, I opened my ports on my router and on the firewall.
we have disable the anti cheat to see but no change.
we play without mod and only on official missions.
if you have a solution
Please someone tell me how Arma 3 save system is working or where is the profile folder (expect: ,,C:\Users*my name*\Documents\Arma 3"), because after a blackout or turning of my pc whit the main power button its lost all the files and this is annoying I fixed some how like 3 or 4 time and now none of them work. Its just disappointing that i launch the game and every thing is lost: the process, my loadouts, missions, setting, ect...
somehow im always fix it but its a bit annoying to do like monthly the hole thing
Google "(your router model) + port forwarding"
It must be ports 2302-2306
@SWATSQUID999#8149
OK, then not
no body for a solution to my problem ?
i have an arma 3 server and am running a custom multiplayer mission
how in the world do i save the mission while playing
so i we can continue where we left off in the mission at a later date

@green olive when in doubt post only on 1 channel
I have a player reporting that when they are using a vehicle's commander turret (e.g. Kuma RWS) it is behaving strangely, looking around and aiming at targets as if there was an AI controlling it rather than their own inputs. This is with a full player crew in dedicated multiplayer.
Since we're mid-session it's hard for me to personally troubleshoot it; does anyone have any suggestions?
are mods involved?
@uncut trellis did you delete the discussion in the server_linux channel?
Okay
some mod then just hates me haha

Maybe next time don't violate our #rules, as rule violating messages get deleted (otherwise it wouldn't make much sense to have a rule if all violations would just be allowed to stay right?)
You might want to read what's being posted instead.
Not many. CBA, LAMBS Danger/Turrets/Suppression (despite the name LAMBS Turrets only changes dispersion config for AI, shouldn't do this), maybe Dynasound, maybe a couple of small utility things e.g. mag repack
*not sure if LAMBS stuff is running on this client. Definitely is on the server
very likely its some sort of mod problem
Well...we haven't added or changed anything recently, and it only seems to be happening for this one person. We have mod whitelisting so they can only be running approved mods.
verifying mods and game files would be a starting point I suppose
and possibly testing if it happens without any mods at all
Well, I certainly never would have thought of that
I was primarily hoping someone else might have run into it or have some idea what might be causing it
We were able to check whether it was because of an additional controller plugged in (there were no additional controllers plugged in)
No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgInGameUI/Cursor/Targeting.MarkedTargetNoLosRemote'.
can't use buldozer
youve done something funky there
maybe run arma3p again
and make sure P drive is mounted with the simple mapdisk bat you set up in the tutorials
Has anyone ever had any issues with TeamSpeak & TaskForceRadio causing FPS lag? Somethings causing me issues and dropping FPS quite significantly in spikes.
yeah, my p drive is mounted correctly
@agile rampart
How did you set it up, and how do you mount it?
i just mount it using mapdisk.bata
*bat
Then, as already suggested by HG, rerun arma3p
A3 goes from like 90 fps and shoots down to 3 fps for a second or two, and then goes back up, and repeats
when i switch to zues @crude hare and sorry for the mention
Thats an issue within whatever mod contains Tunisian Army Forces.
Well, I'm guessing you haven't filled out a editor category for Tunisian Army v2, aka you might not be able to select them as you haven't provided a select-able category for them, issue is stating that your config doesnt have an entry
https://pastebin.com/ViWt7VPs here is the config
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
ah one second gonna correct it as i have it corrected in my files
and a copy of your games rpt. (It may have a line no. for the issue
rpt??
ah u mean the crash report ah it's not crashing
i actually posted the picture here cus i couldn't in #arma3_config
no I mean the rpt.
where to find that
AppData\Local\Arma 3
Sort by date modified.
and your recent RPT's will be at the top
Then its not the right rpt
few are like that and one with extra lines but i fixed that ones error as it crashed my game
as i told u i simply posted that picture here because i can't in config makers cus i need config help
not game crash thing
And as I have said. An RPT can help with that.. but whatever man; really cba atm
I have slider on my joystick that are used for throttle but uh.. Its 0% or 100%. If i move it to 35% - nothing happens, if i move it to 51% - it goes 100% throttle
Have you got analogue controls bound properly?
Uhh, i dont think so?
Then thats what your issue is.
O! It works perfect now! Thank you!
Hello guys I have a problem with publishing any mission - I've heard that there are some problems between steam cloud and onedrive. I have uninstalled onedrive but the problem doesnt disappear - ideas from forums also didnt help me
Here is the screen of the message I get
The cloud is enabled so this message doesn't have any sense, I'm confused
steam issue
try following
- open steam console with WIN+R type
steam://open/console - in steam console type this command:
testappcloudpaths 107410
@maiden loom
Weird problem, im unable to place any independent units as a zeus
I can place other factions
Also, this is currently mid zeus game, and earlier on i could place them
all servers show 1/1 or 0/1 players right now? it was fine yesterday ; anyone knows what's going on ?
you have -noLogs enabled
also fyi @pearl sorrel we have !rpt
!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/Crash_Files
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.
"you cannot extract to an existing folder"
Ta. Also, I got him to enable logs which fixed a few issues but continued to hassle me in dms late last night
heh ok, I know those kinda people
Hey peeps, what does a 'description.ext::Header' mean again?
sorry forgot a word
what does a 'description.ext::Header' error mean again?
as in
Mission 6th1stop.lingor3: Missing 'description.ext::Header'
DLCs should not really affect your performance so quite likely something else has happened.
have you checked your video settings and that your vied distances are at reasonable range?
it is recommenened to use the autodetect function
and tweak view distance and possibly post processing settings
also there is frame difference between fullscreen and borderless fullscreen modes
and if nothing else helps you could try resetting your Arma3 profile
as in deleting it so it gets remade with default settings
make backups of it though
could also be something to do with your windows updates or gpu drivers or just something else running on your computer
thats not quite how computers work
if your whole machine is slowing down then it definitely is caused by something else
What software do you use to stream?
and what gpu have you got
And how much memory?
Its more than likely, going to be an issue with arma and streaming.
Try the game (plus contact) without streaming, (close the app completely).
Same with Chrome if you use it.
Twitch Studios uses atleast 4gb of ram. Thats half of what youve got; without other applications using it
What mhz is your memory at, and also how old and even the brand can all make differences
If you have 2 x 4gbs; the lowest mhz is the one which will choke you.
1x 8gb Memory do you mean.
if so, whats the Mhz
Memory
aka RAM Clock Speed
12 gigabytes ???? Are you sure?
You're not running ddr4 then
I've never heard of DDR4 RAM at 1600mhz
Even check pcpartpicker. Lowest DDR4 RAM is "DDR4-2133"
But; anything below 2400 is definitely a choke
The only way it would run slower is if there was another stick running lower...
Anyone who knows how to fix this bug?
I can not join any server.
All servers are sett to a maximum of 1 player, but I can not join any of them.
same problem
Hey guys I need a hand here
The wind in zues is fucked up on the artic map
It's not the map - it works fine. Has done before
But it's only the wind and IDK how to either turn the wind the heck off or fix it
It breaks only when the zeus is high up - close to the ground, no problems
I've just found out that this is an issue playing Zeus in singleplayer.
The wind cuts in and out and is obnoxiously loud
huh
When launching arma 3, the game will black screen (initial start) but will send me back to desktop and any time I try to open the window, sends me back to desktop. Anyone else have this issue?
Sounds like you arent letting it load tbh
I think steam or arma broke
i cant publish anything to workshop
doe snot matter what i try to do
error? @grim mantle
says to enable cloud sync but there is no option for that in settings in steam for arma or in arma itself
Write EVERY sentence you see in the error popup, words to words, no skip, no add, just transcript
Or, post an image
ill reproduce it now one sec
Ah, if you're publishing from 3den then there's a feedback tracker ticket on the sog pf tracker with a solution for that
oh
yea from eden as it was a comp
i just packed it tho and sent thru discord so not a issue right now
just bypass steam always a headache anyways
looked online people said there should be option to enable it in the games preference in steam under update tab but there is not for this game
Yup thats a known issue
the other soulution said to use console but that is not working for me
steams console wont pop up but that is not a arma issue
So the solution in this ticket doesnt work? https://feedback.bistudio.com/T158403
not sure my dumb butt cant get the console to open the WIN + R so i will try adding it to launch prams in shortcut
but right now it late so ill wait till tm to do that
Is it okay if i remove some of the DLC folders that i don't own? for example, i don't own the Contact dlc but i still have the enoch file, and it's taking quite a bit if space. will it somehow interfere with the game's performance?
(these folders)
do i need to do Port forwarding so my boys can join me?
i worken a weeken
and now it dont work
My game now suddenly refuses to connect to any server. But doing direct connect still works.
It shows all servers running other content than me, even official ones. Still, I got no mods enabled.
New profile did not work.
Verifying did not work.
Doing a full reinstall now and also doing a new profile along it with a computer restart beforehand.
Rebooted my router, rebooted my own server. Same problems.
A friend of me can connect to my server.
Still doesn't work.
I connected my own PC outside of my custom network, run a seperate firewall and DNS filter. Still doens't work.
I can do direct connect. So all I can think of is that Steam's server are confused or something?
Using ProtonVPN didn't work either. Could've been a routing issue from somewhere.
Well. I am at a complete loss now, I'll just see tomorrow.
I have a question in S.O.G when I aim it turns gray for some reason when I aim down my weapon I don’t really know what’s going on?
i keep getting this error, and i cant equip, place or detonating ieds, however the assets are ingame i can place them down in the editor just not in game, anyone have an idea(id rather not reinstall)
I have a weird issue if anyone has a solution. All my servers show up as an IP, both in game and in the launcher, just started happinin last week or so
@inland inlet
where do you get your mods from?
go steam only
ditch your armaholic mods
at least those who are on steam anyway
like CBA, CUP, RHS
anyone good at working out what mod is making issues
could anyone on help me with this altis life problem i have the rpt
got a question, so im hosting a local server off my pc with mods , my friend has these mods too and loaded, but yet can seem to select a role from the screen it shows up as blank for him thus not letting him enter the "mission"
any help?
@dapper tusk @prisma lichen We can only help you if you share your problem 
@grim tinsel so when my data base loads it crashs my game i will have the rpt in two secounds
@grim tinsel well i have a few mods installed (i can send you a list of the mods) and when i try to host a MP Zeus server (just for me i like to test mini battles) it like spawns me as if i was like some kind of animal in the ground i can not move or anything or Y out of it back into zeus

Hi everybody, I need help with bug, always when I try to connect to a server I get the message "Connection Failed", I also tried all of this: verify arma 3 at steam, disable all mods, disable all magical launch parameters, check for battleye, try to connect to official unmodded server, restarted the modem and the PC.
a image of the message
Why is my usage so low?
inb4 you load hundreds of Mods
Low GPU usage usually means CPU bottleneck
It says my CPU is 39%
Set your graphics settings to autodetect
Everything is as it was set automatically when I reinstalled arma 3, except shadow quality is up so it uses my GPU
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Is armaholic down ??
Yes, and it won't come back
I have a question in S.O.G when I aim it turns gray for some reason when I aim down my weapon I don’t really know what’s going on?
someone mentioned that bug in #sog_prairie_fire a while ago iirc
How long ago was that?
Cant remember, sorry
Ok thanks anyway
Uh. My Zeus keeps dying.
Like, I’ll be around the boat, and suddenly, it says “Yukari Akiyama has died” and I lose Zeus control.
YAY HOSTING ISSUES 
Oh my
You... you just have to push one button... in the launcher...
Nope, I still cannot connect to any server.
It just suddenly is like this. I reinstalled the game, I tried too much other things honestly. But why is it like this?...
I have the exact same issue yesterday and today.
I tried too much things to figure out what it was.
Launcher version: 1.5.147534
Game version: 2.04.147540
Branch: main / beta branch not specified
This is what run.
my problems started on Tuesday after a Hotfix on steam
then they release another one on Wednesday about some people getting server bugged
and I think we have to wait until another hotfix to be released
did you fixed it ? how ?
Disabled the Beta branche on Steam.
So i just got a HOTAS, and im doing the helicopter tutorial and i realised i ony go around 18 kph with the stick, but on my keyboard i can go up to 40
i messed with the deadzones and nothing happened
Never mind guys, it was the tutorial that was blocking my speed
Arma 3 server wants clients to load a server side only mod
Why does it ask clients for the content thats set to server side only
Because the owner of the server configured it so.
You can both set mods that run by the server, and set mods required. The server owner probably set the same mods for both.
i set up a dedicated server via TADST, i use arce 2 for radio and prox chat and for some reason it wont work with the dedicated server anyone know?
One or more mods are causing issues
Which of these would be
Who knows. Anything can do this
You should note yourself: More Mods is the way to make a mess
Okay, these are the mods
Als polpox said, could be any of those
The thing is, one mod can be fine, but causes issues if another mod that if run a lone is also fine. You rarely know...
ok thx
@arctic basalt im the one who set it up they are set as server mods but it still asks for the mods pbo from clients -servermod="@life_server" would be correct would it not?
-servermod is what the server demands.
-mod is just what the server uses but is not mandatory.
So, if the client doesn't require the mod(s). Set it at -mod. Not -servermod
Hey me and my friend are trying to play together and I got my port forwarding to work but my friend didn’t and he can’t join me dose he have to do it to for it to work
The hoster must have an IPv4 connection provided by the ISP.
Check your router's WAN address in your router's status page / WAN settings.
Do not use websites to read your external address
Oh ok I’ll try that
Should I change my IPv4 to static ip
And if so what should I put in there
Are sure you are looking at the WAN IP, and not the LAN IP?
How Do i get them back? I ended up corrupting all of my mods.
You have to repair them one by one
Where would I do that?
In the launcher, select mod, bottom right 3 dots, repair
Thank you.
Verify your game installation via steam
Backup and delete your missions ..\documents\arma 3\missions folder (or arma 3 other profiles)
Do the same for your Missions and MPMissions folder in the arma 3 root folder
Then verify again and launch the game
Do not copy back backupped content yet
but i dont have missions
It's either
Arma 3\missions
Or
Arma 3 other profiles\missions
No, the ones in your documents folder
?
Check the MPMissions folder in arma 3 root folder and documents
No, just the content within those folders (if there is any...)
Next, bachup 'arma 3' and/or 'arma 3 other profiles' folder in your documents, delete it and run the arma 64bit exe directly from your arma 3 root folder
are any of this stuff even gonna help?
it's a compiler error
so you must verify the game data
did you uninstall any official DLCs?
It's often related to faulty mission files an/or corrupted profiles
Well, it was in the past
Nope
Already done, 3 times.
rclick on Arma in Steam -> Properties -> DLCs
make sure they're all checked
then you'll have to fix it manually
go to Arma installation folder and navigate to Curator\Addons
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Curator\Addons
if you installed in default Steam folder
see if you have a ui_f_curator.pbo
i have that
how many bisign files?
did you try running Arma as admin?
no
well then try it
I think I just realized what the issue is
what is the deal with that language
it's RTL
what?
I don't think RTL paths work with Arma
what RTL is?
right-to-left
there is way to fix the game?
like Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew, etc.
move it to another folder
K
make sure the path doesn't contain any non-english letters
¯_(ツ)_/¯
simply changing your windows will suffice
you can try changing your Windows language first
OK
that's the easiest way
Thx
hearing that the first time tho... would be interesting if somebody could confirm that for future trouble shooting
it was the only thing that seemed off to me
only folder names shouldn't be Hebrew
drive names don't matter
actually I think it is true. because afaik Arma's compiler either uses a char* or std::string for path
not wchar_t* or std::wstring
maybe @quaint jewel can give some insight
hello guys ive got here a friend's log we are trying to figure out why his game crashes when he enters our milsim server.
thanks
Firstly.
ArmaZeusCache is no longer needed. Vanilla has fixed the issue
The only thing that is reporting that it's missing is:
ACE RHS Compats are not present when they should be.
Get them to add them, and try it with them loaded.
Also, get them to verify arma 3
ok thanks I will tell him to try it
Anyone know why my server is making this?

you are not loading all necessary mods required for the mission on your server
I created the map using the modpack and it works just fine when loading it up on a self hosted multiplayer but not on the server
And I have the majority of those mods on that list
you need not just "the majority", you need all of them. 1:1
all that you had loaded while creating the mission
why does the server want people to load a server mod loaded usin -servermod=
-servermod = required
-mod = optional
(iirc)
weird okay
.
I don’t think you quite understand. I’ve made a modpack and then with that modpack I have made a mission and put it on my server
How can I not have all the mods? It’s literally made for this modpack.
Well it says in the error that the stuff is not present
The majority of the stuff actually was in the modpack even, Tier one weapons and a couple others
...What's your modpack you're talking about?
One I made myself
I hope you don't mean that you took all the pbos and mashed them into 1 folder
What?
To make a modpack
No?

Hi all, maybe someone can help. We are trying to host a multip server to play Antistasi, and when my friend is trying to connect he gets a "server not responding" error. I´ve done everything I've seen on the internet, port forwarding on my router, and nothing, I even tried to disable firewall and Antivirus just in case.
@steady hawk Hello, sorry for pinging you - I'm having issues with your "Artwork Supporter" addon. When I use it and open the camera, the camera cannot be lowered / moved via any key - only via mouse.
I guess you need to use some slider bottom right there to use correctly
How do I copy error messages again? I could send you that message to possibly make it more clear.
Use whatever. Screencap maybe
Using with SOG?
negative, although I own SOG
hold on, let me load a blank slate of arma with only your mod enabled
It suggests you use some Mod that has customized main menu
Which might not compatible with AS
Yep, some addon seems to be incompatible
I'll try to track it down and send it forward to you
@steady hawk Found the impostor! Zeus Enhanced seems to cause trouble with your addon.
probably keybind issues

What keybinds could cause that? I got default stuff
It has literally been 1 minute... chill tf out
IDK, but if ZEN is causing an issue. The only think I can think of is the keybinds might be overlapping. Just a guess.
Got it, I'll check it out.
And you think everyone here, might not have anything to do?
Also. "White circle all around" doesnt help much. Screenshot would be rather helpful
Pinging specific someone who is not even related with the thing is also hated behavior
The reason behind my thinking, is that IK ZEN uses alot of shortcutting keybinds.
Your render distance.
- You probably have.
- Video Options.
- Use Autodetect.
If you say so...
Despite it being literally impossible to never see the view distance border
does anyone here know about any flicker in game while looking at either the main menu or loading screens?
its very subtle but enough for you to notice. it happens like every 2 or 3 seconds it will do a slight flicker
my game is downloading mods in the background, could it be that?
its also installed on a HDD due to taking out the SSD for my new rig being built
ive verified game files also
its almost as if it flickers when something is loading
getting this trying to join my Unit's server. any ideas?
seems to be an Issue with SOG?
- does the server use the stable build?
- if so, make sure you don't have duplicate keys/invalid signatures
also try validating game files
that too
if that dont work and you're on the right build then delete that file adn verify game files
I have no clue about any of that, I would assume stable? Other people can join the server
bad idea
just delete invalid keys
huh?
then do this:
- validate the game cache via Steam
- if it succeeds, you have invalid keys/signatures in the game folder
how do you know the key is the problem and not the file?
ok, I'm just waiting on it to finish, will let you know
because the game doesn't know which key/signature to use
there should only be 1
if it validates it's not the issue
uhuh
are these the key?
yeah
Clean install of gpu driver seem to have fixed it
Not sure if this is the appropriate channel, but I'm currently working on a sound mod and I used Mikero's pboProject to output my mod, but whenever I set the directory of my sound mod folder (P: drive) and press crunch it says "Access denied" and "mkdir:: cannot make folder(s) p:\temp.
I've looked for fixes in forums but I can't find anything about this. Help would be greatly appreciated.
I also cannot make any folders or delete any files from the P: drive.
I could only move stuff in.
Nevermind, fixed it.
you're missing mods
yea but no where does it tell me what mods to install
do you see this error?
ye
well unless the server has a Discord or a website that shares their mod preset, I don't think there's a solution to that
I do see some popular mods that you can download
like RHS, CUP weapons, units and vehicles, 3CB
the CUP mods messed up my game
wdym?
i installed one of the CUP mods on the list and i couldn't start my game
they have dependencies
that makes sense
you can't just "install one"
thx
@next tangle
sweet
Hey everyone,
I've got a friend who wants to join my Arma server - when using all the mods we are all using, he can join in fine - but then his lobby role selection is completely empty + he cannot see the player list.
any clue?
Also, after trying for 3 days straight to fix it - he now cannot join even non-modded official warlords server
We checked firewall, antivirus, router etc etc - verifying game files + reinstalling the whole game to a different drive
Verify your game files
Then reinstall, if it says so
try installing visual studio c++ redistributable 2013 x64
i did
thenk u :3

Does anyone know why this keeps crashing my Arma 3 and hoes I can stop it?
Without describing what it is, nobody
This says nothing at all
I know, I'm literally gonna try taking a screenshot now
Since snipping tool is being edgy
Just press print screen and crop it maybe
Here
After this message, the game instantly dies and launcher gives a crash report saying the game shutdown abnormally
Try to verify your game
Also, before the game even fires up, this thing appears even though I'm playing Vanilla:
Verify it?
Verify every files. If you're unaware of it, search “steam verify game”
This...?
Yes
lol what is up with your computer? 
are you sure your disk is healthy? and you don't have a virus?
you've posted many issues so far, all of them probably related to either (or both) of those
I mean, it's a pretty crappy/old computer, so...
But I'm very sure I don't have a virus.
I also f igured out why Arma was uninstalling itself.
I was taking it out from it's original install location so afterwards, steam just couldn't find the files and figured I'd uninstalled the game
so iv'e been having an occasional issue where i can host sometimes but i cant other times
for instance i was just playing apex protocol with my friend and my hosting worked fine after that we tryed to play with a modset and it did'nt work it seems to mostly happen when i'm playing with mods but there's no issues with the modset because my other friends i'm not sure if this has anything to do with it but i recently moved it happened before that but not nearly as much iv'e never seen this happen before and iv'e played ArmA 3 since early 2019 never seen this issue before i don't remember when it started but i think it was around the 2.0 update anyone have any idea what this could be?
[["1:capture_zone",Location Invisible at -1, -1],["2:capture_zone",Location Invisible at -1, -1],["8:capture_zone",Location Invisible at -1, -1],["9:capture_zone",Location Invisible at -1, -1],["10:defend_counterattack",Location Invisible at -1, -1]]
Would the position in the array of the bold statement be 5?
Trying to fix a mike force issue
???
4
indices start at 0
no im curious of hes responding to me or someone else
no they're asking their own question
k
any idea on my issue?
I can't even read it 
ever heard of punctuation?
i was never good at it
tldr my hosting is fucked and only works sometimes and i want to fix it
the issue started around the 2.0 update
i dont think its a mod issue because my other friends can host with the modset
ive played ArmA 3 since early 2019 and have never seen this issue
you don't have to be "good" at it
just end you sentences with a . at least 
fair
any idea on the issue.
what do you mean you can't?
they can't find you? or it fails?
none of my friends can find my server.
dedi?
?
dedicated?
if it only happens sometimes, I have no clue
the only thing i could find on it was since i recently moved. it may think i still am where i moved from.
and i found no way to fix it
moved?
i moved across the u.s .
maybe the problem is your internet or something?
idk thanks for the help anyway.
np
I fixed the error with the mission file, now it's just this error

try disabling firewall/anti virus sometimes that stops my friends from being able to join me
and try getting them to join via the arma launcher instead of friends tab
some of them said they could only see it in game and some could only see it in launcher
ill try turning off my firewall
i just tryed turning my firewall off and hosting and my freinds said it didnt work
honestly, if some of them are able to join and others arent
make sure that those who arent able to join, are doing it right
yea i made sure they all couldent join
oh none of them are able to join ever?
not right now a couple hours ago they were able to
there able to join some times
but there not able to join most the time
@mental river Yea, we're at a loss and it's needed tonight
I'm gonna try and force map start
do you get any errors?
Something about a texture, which we click ok then we get booted, but the texture in question is showing
give me the full error
wait one
did you say you can't get into the mission?
I get to that screen and it kicks us off to go back to mission select
check the rpt
the host havoc report?
Oh, where do i find them?
execute this in Run (Win+R):
%localappdata%\Arma 3
check the most recent log
where do i find run?
press Win+R
Win as in the windows key?
ye
It's not letting me use run
type it in Explorer then
Ok, i've got the RPT up, but i don't have the software to view it, i need an app for it
it's a text file

well what does it say?
you can paste the contents here in Discord
It's 37793 words long though
then start the game again
join the server
when it fails, quit
ok, one sec
that should give you the cleanest file possible
send the latest rpt here
is this the one from the server?
what is this pandoracustom thing?
is that a mod?
or a folder?
it's giving you ~30 errors
It came with the map according to my zeus
If it was a big issue it wouldn't be able to work in a single player edit would it the map, but apparently it works off server
idk
but you have many bad mods
they work on our other missions, none of our other missions have this issue it's just this one
I need help
somebody here can support me somehow?
\
Please!!!!!
I need help!!!!!!!!!
With what...
I cannot load in to multiplayer games..
Repair ACE in your launcher; once done delete your servers ACE. and replace it with your version
Nope
no error message appears
Can I show you what is happening
its very hard to describe in words
Sure, record it and send here.
@mental riverThese are the files for eden to load into editor if that makes a difference, i've never done much with editor so i'm clueless
@bright fulcrum 's issue is that they can join a multiplayer server, but available slots don't show up in the role assignment screen. afaik it's working fine with them hosting a LAN server though.
correct
@pearl sorrel how do i fix that?
Somebody help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey, can someone help me and my friends troubleshoot our server?
@shrewd halo
don't crosspost. answer is in #arma3_editor
I have a question regarding an ArmA achievement that I haven't been able to get, and I'm asking it because it seems other people have had bugs like me in regards to it. The achievement is Devil's Due.
Also, does anyone have this thing where, say you have 4 grenades and throw one, the grenade works fine but the game still tells you you have 4 grenades (in other words, you get an free grenade)
I have been experiencing CTD playing solo and co-op missions in ARMA 3. When solo I've experienced it playing the campaign, and co-op we've crashed at the end of every apex protocol mission. I've tried googling and searching reddit, etc... for an answer, but haven't had any luck. We are running no mods and are getting the 0xc0000005 status_access_violation error. We are all running modern PC's with nvidia 2 or 3 series RTX cards. Any thoughts on what the issue is?
Yeah I don't know but ive done it with and without mods and such, ive gotten the other 2 acheivements, but this one has got me stumped
could I have some help with this? I just got the game today
I have reverified game files
reinstall vcredist for 2013
it keeps saying something another process is active
nvm, just ended windows installer
Anyone know the error 1:45:14 Warning Message: You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted.
a3_characters_f
can be ignored
Create a ticket including the crash dump on feedback tracker
No mods?
@mental river no sir
I don't have that issue
I don't quite remember, but does the game count the grenades in your backpack? :thinking:
In other words, maybe the game is showing the grenades in your vest and uniform, and the "free" grenade is coming from your backpack
@mental river Maybe, but my number of 'nades doesn't change. Also, any ideas about how I can't get the Devil's Due achievement?
I don't remember which one it was (I'm on mobile rn)
It's the one where you cooperate with syndikat
@mental river ^^^ sorry forgot to ping ya with the last question
I keep getting a STATUS_APPLICATION_HANG error any fixes?
my launcher created this exception file, what is it and where do i send it to?
dont know what to do with it
ive made a bug report on the tracker instead
Anyone know how to fix this error?

@uncut sparrow yeh give me a sec and I'll tell you what you gotta do
In the server.cfg
steamProtocolMaxDataSize = 1024;
I've set mine to 8kb
Which I think equates to 8192
No issues our end :)
Or subtract 1024 to take 1kb away its up to you
Could anyone please help me out so I can play with my friend on a private server?
I have the latest CBA_A3 mod (3.15) but it says " Lambs_wp requires version 3,15 and above but you have 3,13,...." Can anyone please help me?
Where did you get it from?
what's the problem?
Everytime me, or my friend, hosts a server to play together, neither one of us can find each other on the server browser, even though we're steam friends.
HELP ME !!!!
That's a weird issue 
Does the server need battleEye? If so have you enabled it?
I resolved the issue by unsubbing a mod which had the old version in it. 2 stalker picnic campaign something like that.
8192 is 8KB, not MB
how do I enable
im new
BattlEye = 1; in server.cfg
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.cfg
default is 1, so BE should be enabled from the start
Yeah I just remembered lol my bad
Edited original message
Hello guys, I'd love to hear your take on this issue:
Me and my brother can't connect to a any ARMA 3 multiplayer sever together (we use the same router). If one joins, the other's computer doesn't allow connecting. If we join simultaneously, one gets disconnected after a minute or so with an error such as "steam ticket check failed: steam authentication failed"
We both have individual accounts with copies of the game.
I've already tried the solution of adding '-port=2350' to the steam launch options, but it seems that doesn't help, maybe because it's from 2013 or something. Please do not hesitate to ping me if you have any ideas
or if you need more details
=====
SOLUTION:
To anyone searching for this in the future- the solution is to change the port in the 'parameters' section in the actual ARMA 3 Launcher before starting the game
Parameters > All parameters> Scroll down to "client" and change the server port there
Hi guys,
Connecting Failed (0x00020009)
I got this messages in last 2 days. I didn't see this message in last year even once.
I run dayz launcher and game opens. After that when I click to play, I get this error in popup window. (PC)
I verified local files, reinstalled the game twice, I updated network drivers.
no result!
Can anyone please help me? I really need any suggestions or solutions.
Thanks in Advance
My game keeps crashing and says: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
Very generic it says
because it is. follow the suggested steps for a possible fix
From launcher
If you did DM'd to every random people here, please stop
? No, I didn't dm anyone else besides you
Stop it please. Read my status and just read what I said you referred
Honestly, why are you getting so pissy over a DM? I just dm'ed you and I've stopped now. I don't see what your issue is.
Crossposting is also not allowed btw.
I just removed your rule violation without warning you, but I recommend you read #rules
I saw that, my bad
It's not about my issue, but your issue
Public discussion must be done publicly, not my very own DM place. This makes some information hidden from EVERYONE which is against the public benefit. Also I don't like to be DM'd from randoms, yet I'm not closing it. That's it
Okay, well, you could've just told me that you didn't appreciate me dm'ing you instead of blatantly assuming that I dm'ed "every random person here"
Because I'm a random people here. Easy to assume so
Anyways, what's the issue and what did you do
I've fixed it
Thanks for opting to help
Okay, well, you could've just told me that you didn't appreciate me dm'ing you
I think he made it pretty obvious he doesnt like it with his discord status
Discord status was put after I dm'ed him
Was it? I'm pretty sure I saw it yesterday already
like a good 95% sure I saw that exact status yesterday or earlier
Hello, idk if its the good topic but, there anyone who could solve a problem? I think of an injection or a particularly invisible hack, thanks
Whats the problem you're trying to fix?
When people enter the server, they get killed by themselves
To anyone searching for this in the future- the solution is to change the port in the 'parameters' section in the actual ARMA 3 Launcher before starting the game
Parameters > All parameters> Scroll down to "client" and change the server port there
idk. I have no idea what's the actual cause 🤷
have you verified the game data?
i bought the game 2 days ago and i verified the game data 9 times
does your issue occur in all servers?
yes
did you make sure Arma 3 is not blocked by your Firewall?
Hey, quick question. Im not sure why, but for a while now my Zeus DLC has been just completely gone and I have no idea why. I cant find it in the launcher, pressing Y in game does nothing, yet I look on steam and it shows that its downloaded and ready. Can anyone help me for a sec?
it never appears there
where can i find it then?
again, this problem only started happening a week or so ago so at first i thought it was from the latest DLC release causing a bug, but i researched it and no one else was having the similar issue
if you see this, zeus is loaded
okay ill check
i figured since it was considered a DLC it would be in here, but let me see
nope, does not show up on that list
because it's kind of system integrated / freeDLC, same as Malden2035
oh yeah i see it :/
uhhhhh lol hold on i want to try something
i swear if this works
okay thats my real issue. So zeus is loaded, and the bind to open the interface is still "Y", but nothing happens when i press it making me think it just wasent loaded
so NOW im confused on why the binds arent working
do you have zeus in your mission?
the required modules need to be present in the mission / on the map
when it was working, i could just go in the editor, place a random character down, then immediately press y and open the interface without any sort of modules or anything
that's not how it works at all
you probably had a mod that gave you zeus
that's not intended behaviour. you need to place the game master module and either sync it to the player, or give it a dedicated owner
OHH wait yeah i got it. So yeah you're right i used to have a mission editor that automatically made the interface accessible
okay, its all figured out and i feel like a huge idiot lol
thanks for the help guys
np
no need to. we all started at some point
I think many of us have gone thru this same thing 🙂
Hello, does anyone know why my server hiccups with error in console saying 'Failed to connect to steam' ?
Over the past two weeks, people in my unit have started experiencing random graphics issues where different color panes seem to intersect the world. I've never seen anything like this - our mods have stayed the same, same terrain, etc. Does anyone have any clue what could possibly cause this?
^ gif from someone's Twitch stream where it occurred.
Uh, several people are experiencing the same?
@steady hawk indeed, it seems about 50% of people have experienced it at least once in the past two weekly operations we've had, with ~60 people at each operation.
Restarting Arma and reconnecting to the server has cleared the issue up for everyone that's encountered it, but I'd obviously they didn't have to do that.
Time for bug tracker ticket
yo my 2 friends got hamachi and connected to my network but my server doesnt show up in LAN
nvm fixed
Strange enough, but make sure if it is a vanilla issue or not
Hey i need some help, i cant hear anything in game and i cant talk in game...
Seen that before. Its usually some really badly broken model somewhere
Hello all leonard contacted me on this discord for a strange thing .... and he block me ... @fringe salmon 😆
!purgeban @fringe salmon 0 Steam scam idiot. Get a life, a real one 😉
@tired kernel it is a scam trying to steal your steam info, reason for me to ping the moderator to get that guy off this discord
*PewPewPew!!*
RIP @halcyon lichen
thanks for the report, keeping the place safe 👍
Thank a lot for this ! take care guys 🙂
File '@1814297223/addons/apex_rpg7_v2.pbo" not found any help?
this was one of my most error i bought the game yesterday
The server requires a mod that you don't have.
Or you're loading mods the server doesn't allow
make sure BE is enabled in the launcher
KK ty
Any way to find out which model is causing it?
look at all the models that are placed in the mission 😄
Hey guys, my mic isn't working on Arma 3 only. Any fix?

@quaint jewel is that a.... yes?
@flint acorn your mic must be set as default input / recording device in your windows sound settings

It is default
Then check your key binds. Default PTT key is usually caps lock
Then I'm out of ideas. Can't dig further since I'm on my way to work already
Okay it's alright
Fixed the issue
How? :p for the next guys
@flint acorn Thank you.
Np
So, my Eden Editor won't start the scenario. Any potential causes for that?
I click 'play scenario', nothing
Same if I press enter or space.
Even if I do it without any mods at all
Having this problem with ace and CBA
This is the latest version of CBA
So why does ace want a newer version that doesn't exist?
you're probably running a mod that has its own CBA 
try CBA and ACE alone
unload all other mods
see if it works
you mean nothing happens? nothing at all?
Nothing
Thanks guys
The button changes color since it was clicked
Then it changes back and nothing happens
that's weird...
did you say no mods?
try verifying the game data
is Steam running?
Yes
I've never seen that issue before 🤔
@sullen kraken which version do you run? (stable, perf, dev)
1st of im not rambling 2nd i dotn know how he did it he unloaded a mod and managed to break editor itself
@sullen kraken do you hear the "click" sound when you press the "PLAY SCENARIO" button?
ok
streaming
My apologies for interrupting - So I know this is already a massive issue for a lot of people in A3.. but im having super bad frames, even after allowing A3 to use all of my CPU and GPU, but it only uses about half. I also went in and changed all my parameters in hopes to increase FPS, all to no avail.
RTX 2060 6gb
i7-9700k
32gb 2300mhz DDR4
12k RPM 2tb HDD
// Does anyone have ANY fix for this? I want to play arma but it's always running at such a low fps. I can run literally any other game with no issues.
You coming?
yeah let me run Discord
What fps are you getting?
about 30-40-50 but im getting freezing rn
I have a similar set up
That's way too low
pfft i know right
I mean arma is bitchy with fps
are you sure you're running the game with the nvidia GPU?
But I have half the ram and getting 80 fps
it seems like it's the intel one
yes, but either way it's not using any more than half and i've got it set to use all of it
Yes it looks like it's using the oboard GPU
o n b o a r d?
integrated
Go into your nvidia settings and change it to High performance
Yes that
I don't know how Intel works so I'm not going to be of much help
i mean yeah, I had a similar problem with my old PC that had an i4-4440, 16gb of DDR3 ram and a gtx 570.
which terrain is that?
terrain?
map
It's an exile map, but i have the problem on Altis as well.
chernaurus i think? idk the dayz map.
even in vanilla?
idk, I have issues on Trailerpark
no I mean do you still get a bad FPS without mods on Altis?
well ye, Trailerpark has no mods I'm pretty sure.
but ye, still bad fps wise
always has been
I can get 70fps if i look straight down, but i cant really play like that.
what is Trailerpark? a server?
yes yes, trailerpark wasteland.
Unfortunately yeah.
what are your launcher settings?
don't touch CPU count
same goes for Extra Threads
I recommend that you don't touch anything at all
the game runs best without any of those limits
large pages is ok tho
also I recommend Intel TBB4 or xtbb malloc
should i change this?
here's the xtbb malloc
yeah uncheck it
@lofty junco here's how you can use xtbb malloc to get even more FPS:
#hardware_vs_arma message
I think you need to run Arma as Admin for large pages to work properly? 🤔
idek, im a noob. i just wanna play arma with more than 30 fps lmao
the instructions were pretty clear tho 
anyway, did what I say help?
I changed the settings, im not home as of rn. just remoting in. will check my fps when I get back.
ok
whats your view range?
I used to get very high FPS up in the 120’s in a town that has no units but with the same graphic settings i only get 80 after I reinstalled arma
yeah. that's usually what it is for me.
im getting ab 80fps in the stratis campaign tho
sleep deprivation got me, my b.

Does this mean arma does not like my gpu?
or reinstall physics?
after this my arma crashes
create an FT ticket with the full crash log please
Before wasting time of those guys I will run some tests
and do more googling
redoing validation, deleted the cache.ch
lets see what this produces...
not sure
Click the Options button in the top-right. Tells you what version
ok
Launcher version: 1.5.147534

hello, are arma 2 questions ok in here
The "branch" being unspecified is unusual
ok
@inner crow#end_of_life_arma
ok, thanks
@grand novarestart steam
ok
Game version: 2.04.147540
Branch: main / beta branch not specified
``` never mind, seems it writes it that way when copying to clipboard from the launcher. Above is mine
its still not there
should I unistall it then rensatll it
?
you can try
then restart the download / update on steam. have the launcher closed
open ..\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3 and see if there is a folder called vn
close the launcher, make sure no arma related background process is running, verify your game installation via steam
ok
jaaaaaayy stilll didnt fix my issues.
just keep getting a black screen and crash shortly after the little watermark and progress barrr....
I thought it was my grapics driver, updated that, rebooted, and it worked, and now I have the issue again
runnning bare arma, no cdlcs
make ft ticket
yeh think i have to
how does one do that
there is too many channels on this discord...
@analog bison
what steps have you done by now?
Verifying, update gpu driver, delete cache, all while running bare stock vanilla
It ran once when I did the driver update and rebooted
two weeks ago I had 0 issues
go to \Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3 and run the arma3_x64.exe from there for testing
ooookay... one step closer
I think he made it pretty obvious he doesnt like it with his discord status
