anybody got a fix?
In Multiplayer I suppose
I already made lan and it doesn't work either
Hi!
Today there was a serious bug in the game that I can't fix and I can't get an answer to this problem on YouTube or Google. I decided to take some photos and downloaded a few trusted mods and when I turned on the game I was greeted by a window greeted me as if I was new to the game and I already have 600+ hours in the game, the green bars, e.g. charging turned orange and my armor sets disappeared. How can I fix it and restore it?
Sounds like your profile is set to the default
Also, check Profile Folder in Launcher's Parameters
But how? I didn't even touch the setting or something
Just downloaded few mods and launched the game
If you've ever made a profile, check. If you don't, check launcher
I made one profile and i was using it
So if i created a profile once i should check the profile in game?
If yes i already did it and nothing much changed
Name, face etc is still the same as it was before the bug
the green bars, e.g. charging turned orange and my armor sets disappeared
What does this mean BTW?
I mean those green bars
They are now orange
For some reason
Basically everything what was green in loading screen or main title are now orange for some reason
Even in arsenal everything what was green is now orange
Is this your current screen? Can you show the current loading screen?
Give me sec
π€
your issue is: you downloaded some π¦ed up star wars mod
βTrustedβ
remover all SW mods and you'll be fine
I mean by trusted i meant i wasn't using nothing new
Just my mod collection im using for a looong time
Everything is new if you load a Mod
- Possibly something was updated
- Possibly your Launcher's setting is changed
- Whatever
Can you show your current game version BTW?
Mhm. Well, next step: play without ANY Mods
Im doing it rn
Nothing happend
Expect game works better without mods
Worked as intended or not? Quite confused answer
Im just confused because everything worked before as intended and now something have just gone wrong for some reason
And i have a lot of things to do again
And tbh im not trusting arma again
π€
i give up...
It's simply done in a regular setting. Game > Colors
Whenever I open up the Arma 3 Launcher, It won't let me click/use anything, and simply closes the window a few seconds later. Any fixes?
go to:
%localappdata%\Arma 3 Launcher
see if there are any crash dumps
if so create a ticket on feedback tracker and upload the crash dump
also if there are any logs, you can post them here so someone can take a look
Every time a certain update occurs, new colour schemes get added. Check ttis #arma3_troubleshooting message
And you should see various schemes, and you can customise your window, text etc colours
Oh i know how to customize, i was just sayin, the brownish orange color scheme is from the cDLC π€·ββοΈ
Yeh, Apex is Dark Green (#arma3_troubleshooting message)
@mental river I went trough the folders and didn't see a crash dump
Nothing to indicate it had crashed either
the first file is a dump
@gusty snow but it's old
it's from 2020 
Yea, saw that one
what about the logs?
alright, let me go check it
Not a expert,but this seemed a little out of the ordinary
What could cause that?
driver failure I think
did you use Alt + Tab when it happened?
no it's not unusual
delete the logs
then start the launcher
alr
Usually the device being removed, so gpu being disconnected for some reason iirc
Done,deleted the logs and started the launcher
or the driver crashing
ye tru that too
can you upload them here?
there's a problem with your steam:
1: LauncherViewModel: - Initializing connection to Steam client...

@gusty snow either that or you have a bad mod
you can delete the entire Arma 3 Launcher folder there to reset all the settings
if it doesn't help, unsubscribe from the mods that you subscribed to before the issue occurred
Trying to upload a new mission to arma dedi server, and when I load in there are no roles to select and get the repeated error "Warning Message: You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted.tfar_handhelds". Although I have the tfar mod in my arma, the server has it installed and it is in the command line. RPT File:
This is the command line I'm using
Any help appreciated my head hurts from this server killing me
it's probably part of some other mod then.
it's definitely not loaded (no mention of it in the rpt)
TFAR isnt loaded?
that addon is not loaded
@fringe salmon nvm TFAR isn't loaded at all
LAMBS is not loaded either it seems
check your folders
Its definitely present in the files
the name you're giving it is incorrect:
@Task Force Arrowhead Radio (BETA!!!)

@fringe salmon and the lambs one is called:
@lambs_dangerfsm
(judging by your screenshot)
there's no dot
Ah right I see thanks, I'll try renaming them in the command line and see if that works?
Ah thanks so much, that seems to have fixed it. I think the website I was using to make the command line must have been going off of the steam workshop names instead of the folder names which resulted in things perhaps not being called?
For future reference, where abouts in the RPT file does it show the mods that have been loaded?
why use websites? 
just load the mods normally from the launcher (normal arma 3 client)
then get the command line using Process Explorer
then use it with the server
im not too sure how to do that lol
repost still haven't found a solution#arma3_troubleshooting message
some old scenarios are like that
the scenario says it's multiplayer/coop
so you can't find it there
go to LAN multiplayer
select Altis
Then you'll see it
I downloaded the sp/mp one. but can't either. I can't find the mission on the lan
did you select Altis?
@fallen berry button, top right?
this?

@fallen berry well if it doesn't want to be loaded just do it manually:
http://steamworkshop.download/download/view/378941393
put it in Arma 3\MPMissions folder
ok thanks i will try it now
@fallen berry
but anyway, just to make sure it's downloaded:
go to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\107410 (if you've installed the game in the default Steam dir) and search for the mod id: 378941393 see if the folder comes up. (or just go directly to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\107410\378941393)
if it doesn't show up it means the subscribed item was not downloaded
its working! Thank you so much for helping me. i really appreciated it.
hey can someone help me out? I bought arma 3 and played it all day yesterday, and it worked just fine
but i try and open in today and it says something like
profiles\other profiles\Ham Remnants\ Ham Remnants. Arma3\ ? encountered instead of =
and it wont start
any tips?
your profile got deleted
you can try deleting that file listed there
but your keybinds and graphics settings will get lost
yeah
ok
it worked thanks for the help
sorry for crossposting
or whatever i did wrong
Uh, I was meaning to adress this issue yesterday but whenever I go into zeus, some of the gear on my units do not show up like the vests and helmets.
the mods they use are there, I double checked.
so far I've seen only 2 mods affected by this.
what would cause arma 3 tools addon builder to have a broken hash on the output of the pbo? not using pbo manager or pboproject.
I still never figured thisone out
I make a pbo with a signature it will produce the error in the photo, without a signature, it will succeed
use pboProject. it got a way better error checking and also error output log
tried it but seems to ignor prefixs. txt files were not excluded
prefix txt files are not needed
then were do i put in prefixes? documentation looks like I need to a txt file
prefix is an ancient technique
then how do I put in paths that are compatable?
put in full path of folder strcuture to the file?
or use defines / macros
?
if file is in P:\folder\anotherfolder\file then it just uses path file = "folder\anotherfolder\file"
so if I understand it.
replace
Prefix\music\music1.ogg
to
NameofPBOfolder\music\music1.ogg
shesh, it made more sense with using prefixs
interesting how that works
at least it isn't showing about 500 song files missing now
thanks
you can also do defines:
#define MUSIC(x) "path\to\you\folder\##x##.ogg"
MUSIC(music1);
@exotic light I hope those songs are stuff you can actually use and not pirated
Context:
I updated my shitty gtx 750 through the Nvidia panell
Every other game I touched, [MORDHAU, BF4, Garry's Mod] has worked
what do i do
remove your nvidia drivers, download latest release from the nvidia site and reinstall
Through device manager?
no. programs and features. use that to uninstall nvidia drivers AFTER you've downloaded the latest from nvidia
should be 335.23
its version 466.47.. is it the wrong one?
see "supported products"
if the GTX 700 series is included, it's the right one
π
np
very appreciated
you're welcome
Just do with pylon settings. It's gone for 4 years already
@stoic swift let's stay here then π
Make sure your drive has enough space
this β and try starting the game as Windows administrator too?
execute as an admin arma3battleye.exe 1 0 mayhaps?
could you step me through that? is it a program?
maybe your antivirus blocks that?
so β
(Arma 3 Steam installation gets) stuck at 13gb out of 32
so not a BE issue, most likely an HDD issue or a permissions/AV issue
maybe
okay so absolutely nothing to do with antivirus, can't be SSD issue because everything else works PERFECT.. im stumped
I'm going to uninstall steam
ok so still not working, tried almost everything, this is infuriating
What is that folder 
Are you running Steam as admin?
yes, ran as admin, absolutely no change
the file without privelleges doesn't even exist so I am so stumped right now
does anybody at all have a solution or am i fucked?
Do you have any other drives you can try?
If so, try installing there. Then move the installation folder to the C drive if you want.
Hi
I got a problem
My unit got suspended for putting links in the description
I removed it and when tried to apply for approval
This submit button keeps going round and round and doesn't get sent
Arma 3 units is not really known for for its reliability...
Contact arma 3 support via email
Google "arma 3 support"
kk ty
No other drives
absolutely nothing to do with antivirus
how do you know?
I have disabled everything to do with AV
so im haveing an issue that i posted in here about before
my hosting only works occasionly and i want to fix it
ive tryed turning off my fire wall completely before
i have port forwarded
and with some mod-sets it just doesnt work at all
it only seems to be working in the morning around 5-7 AM mostly but it works at random times too
maybe you are sharing ports due to your internet provider
ill check if i am later thanks for the seuggestion
Hey guys,
Since a few weeks it seems Arma crashes/freezes when it needs to load a lot of objects quickly.
Initially I thought it was a mod. But the problem occurs even when playing without any mods.
Case 1: I start the editor on Altis. All seems fine. The move the camera to Kavala. Arma Freezes and crashes
Case 2: Same as above, teleport camera to Kavala. Freeze and crash.
Also happens with other terrains where there is a lot of objects, like cities or dense forests
Specs:
Intel i7 9700k 4.9Ghz
16 GB DDR4-3000 RAM
NVIDIA RTX 2070
MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Plus
250GB SSD Crucial MC500 (for OS)
1TB V-NAND Samsung 970 EVO
750 Watt PSU
Do you mean 4.9GHz turbo (so stock) or all core?
Also do you have other games that you have tried to see if they crash?
tried checking Steam game files cache?
dude armaholic got hacked?
No@dreamy mango it shut down and the address was sold
so
what i need to find
the armaholic
because i really need gcam camera
its problem if using
steam workshop
Please write proper sentences. 
ouh sorry my bad language π¦
And armaholic is gone now. Use workshop
No other games crash. Tried DCS, Zero Hour and Star Wars Squadrons
Ill check it
sstill haven't gota fix for missing file privelleges?
failed to verify pbo when i join any server, i just updated 2 mins back - any fix?
Can you post the exact error please?

what can i do when i am gettings this error: https://bulletdrop.xyz/images/arma3_x64_cOmlnMkdLO.png ? I allready scanned the game files in steam

I keep getting this error [No mods are loaded]

the one you're trying to join
im join a official one

the game was updated about 2 hours ago
Im still getting that error message
wait.... just wait
hey how do i fix "it looks like your settings are corrupted. we will need to reset them to their defaults to continue"
ive tried reinstalling and deleting my profiles
this issue Applies to all of the Arma 3 official Zeus Servers
is this because the servers are outdated?
yes
yes
and I'm assuming we can't play pubzeus until Bohemia updates the servers?
yes
scroll up and read
ah
what does outdated servers mean..?
oh theres an update
when will they update servers?
soon β’οΈ
I bet this could be part of the problem....
β¦maybe
Yup. That fixed it. lol
Thnx for the simple sollution
how do i fix the verifying pbo failed
Read above
Sorry if this question was asked before but I can't find anything on my problem. I am in a server with some friends and have a problem of not being able to see the server when it's in the creating status, I can join and if someone else starts a mission then I can see the player slots and join normally, but I can't see before that and just start at a loading screen till then. hope someone can help
Why won't all enemies show up while in zeus?
They have to be added first
my friend is having a strange issue where arma 3 crashes with an error message when launching the game, error message is: 0xC000012F. we have tried to validate game files, re install directX, and run windows system file check tool but the game continues to crash. we ran the dependency walker and it says he has corrupt files. how do we fix this?
for some reason even tapping Q to go up in zeus feels like its being held down for a whole second, if i rebind it to say T, it works fine, you can tap and it'll only go up so much, but for some reason Q is as if it is stuck down, anyone know why this is?
Anyone know what I can do to get on my friends server
Read above
the server you are trying to join is not updated
@lofty idol
My friend is trying to join my server but is stuck in the loading screen. Doesn't even get to the role selection. He's tried emptying his mpmissions cache and reinstalling the game but nothing is working. Any common fixes anyone can recommend?
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.

Do they need to update the server
that is why my message implied
Everyone else can join only I can't
Then update your game
I have though maybe they hsvnt
Can somebody tell me how to link my ps4 account. Can't find the subsection?
Wrong game?
Ah ok.. Thanks.
superglue...
So I've created a modded mission in Eden and it loads in Eden fine. I can even start a lan multiplayer server on my own. However whenever he puts it on the server it crashes us to mission select
check rpt log

Uh. I'll be honest I am looking at it but I have no clue what went wrong
im having a problem with arma 3 scopes and certain scopes will adjust in mil radians while the majority of others wont
what are the correct settings?
Post it here @hollow cove
Is the Warlords error fixed?
if the server has been updated, yes.
otherwise, no
can someone ping me if they can help with this problem, I am trying to play servers with Cup Terrains - Core, and Weapons, but it comes up with this and won't let me in
@fathom mantle looks like the server is not using those addons.
you must run the same mods the server runs
yes but it says it needs to mods
well probably not those mods then
or your mods are out of date
or the server is out of date
its wierd it shows the same version for the mods
but comes up red in the server select
i have the right versions though
use the launchers server browser
k
everytime i start arma with the mods it shows this as well
and this
so i got the same thing, but it says the problem is cup terrains - core
Well could be the server has broken version
my friends can get on fine
@fathom mantle verify all your CUP mods
ok
if you still have the issue, you probably have duplicate keys/signatures in the mod folder, which must be deleted manually
do you know how?
do it from the launcher right?
ALL cup?
it seems so yeah
ok done
that fast?! 
anyway, try joining
i hit repair, and it did it in like half a second
but it may not have even repaired lol
makes no sense π€
it should take a few seconds at least
did you select them one by one?
so do this
dunno what it means
anyway, check the signatures
right click on the mods
select Open Folder
then check the keys folder
see what the key name is
then open the addons folder
make sure all signatures (bisign files) have the same name as the key
their versions must be the same
k
@fathom mantle for example:
you can just count the number of pbo files
and the number of bisign files
they must be equal
cup terrains has 2 keys
yep that's wrong
thats not right is it?
only 1
the latest one is what you need
yes
yup
ofc if you don't care about downloading those mods all over again you can just unsubscribe in Steam (wait for it to delete) and subscribe again
but that's a stupid thing to do, given all you have to do is delete some files! π
ok
so now the only problem is 2 cup weapons files
so im gonna look harder there
it says these 2 are the problem
do they have signatures?
the bisign?
yeah
yes
try verifying via Steam again
right click on the mod
repair
in launcher
oh u mean on launcher ok
well Steam is the one that verifies it! π
oh lol
ok i verified them
it still says this when i load up https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/141866231362879488/853048861161816064/unknown.png
and CUP_weapons_AmmoBoxes is 1 of the problems
delete that PBO and repair again
what is that file anyway? is that from cup?
yes
yes
@fathom mantlewhat's the source of the mods?
compat with what?!
ACE i think @mental river
I thought ACE was supposed to have those! 
I sure remember seeing them in ACE optionals
nobody implemented CUP compats to ace yet afaik
i could be wrong tho. ACE stuff was never on my table
delete both
both pbos?
yeah
ye
or delete bisign 2
no need
give it time
then just unsub from the mod in Steam and sub again (after it's fully deleted) 
idk why it says it's ok
again makes no sense
are you sure you're verifying CUP weapons?
make sure it actually works in steam
k
check the downloads
if it actually worked you must see this:
no there are still problems
and not something like this
it's unrelated 
well its for arma workshop content
now to wait for my slow internet to finish it
@mental river didn't say it yesterday but my mods are working
thank you so much dude i haven't been able to fix that in a year
np π
Whats up with that? I click join mission of a friend, it kicks me out in less then a millisecond, right after i clicked, then i rejoin again and i see this. Any help? (We are using Hamachi)
I can join officials servers without problems)
could be missing mods etc, check your rpt log

repair your mod?
@warm marsh i fixed it already
ok
Game crashed, and now I can't launch any other steam games
They open for like 10 seconds and then close
try restarting steam/your pc @frail sky
done both
hm not sure then
last time this happened, it just randomly fixed
gets to this and then closes
same kind of thing with every other game apart from F1 2020
i fixed it
no idea how
I keep on getting this error verifying PBO failed: addons\functions_f_warlords, but I have no mods active, I verified my steam files, and I reinstalled the whole game.
Server might not installed its hotfix yet
Is this a current issue with Arma 3 servers, or is it just me?
IDK. Might might not
It works with official servers, but it doesn't work with other servers. I've tried ones with no client side mods, and they still break
So those servers didn't updated yet. If you can contact, yell the owner update the server
my screen in eden editor is extremely zoomed for some reason and I dont know how to fix it
Can you just move the camera around?
Or you mean the ui?
There's ui size setting in video settings
@chilly eagle
It's called Interface size. Set it to medium or small
I've tried to reset the ui and it wont seem to change at all
What do you mean reset?
No need to reset anything
Just go to video settings and reduce the interface size. Then restart the game
@chilly eagle
OH!
Hey it worked!
YAY
Thank you!!1
Alsooo
im having another issue
this error keeps popping up when im trying to load into a server
Preprocessor error: Recusrsive inclusion of the file [z\bcdw\addons\wedge\script_component.hpp]
Mod/mission issue
I think it's a mod issue
Not sure what bcdw is
f in chat
Does anyone know why this blue effect happens to me after about 5 minutes in game or straight away when occupying a Zeus Slot I am running the following mods attached in the Change Log.txt
you have a lot of mods and one of them is broken or conflicting with some other mod.
not really any way to tell which
I think it may be the ANZ Weather one
Thank you for getting back to me
Thanks man π
hello guys i am new to this server,i have a problem with my joystick and throttel controler. I plug in my joystick and throttel controler and i try to control a helicopter or any other flyers. When i try flying but it doesn't work i tried going settings then controls and then controllers i look in the two boxes but it doesn't seam to find my controlers. Why is this?π€
weird graphical glitch that happens to helicopter passengers that makes my skin crawl
im having some trouble with view distance. I've been looking at FAQs and troubleshooting guides online and can't seem to 'fix' it. Basically I have a fairly high end PC (top of the line 3 years ago) and the max draw distance I can get is 1 KM
so playing as a CAS is almost impossible. I've gone into the editor and my settings and tried to expand it to 12000 but it seems to do nothing
I've experimented in Zeus and in the Editor
Are you running mods?
heya, i was recently given a computer that's mostly clean now. however, im facing huge issues. i can't seem to host any servers. it isn't related to my router because on my previous pc, friends could easily join.
i uninstalled the anti virus, and even disabled my firewall
I wasn't, someone recommended "CH Vision Mod" and that seems to help
My ARMA 3 Survival mod I got isn't working T^T
Okay. Sorry to hear that...
Hey does anyone know a solution to an Arma 3 server being stuck trying to start a mission in the lobby? To elaborate a bit more, every time we start up the server, and then join, we join just fine and connect without issues but when we get to the lobby screen the server goes into a loop of just trying to load the same mission over and over, leading to a flashing screen between the black loading screen and the role selection menu(what I call the lobby). I've put one of the logs of said loops, you can see where it tries to load the mission again where it says Starting mission:
It looks like you need to verify your files.
It says some images are missing
Do you know how to do that?
Are you using dynamic Recon Ops mod? Try a different one than Chernarus, like maybe Tanoa or Altis or whatever, see if you get the same issue
Dynamic Recon Ops are a mod that adds randomly generated and customisable missions you can do with friends or alone. Try loading one of those mods, if it works, then maybe you would prefer to play those missions.
No not sure how to do that, the server is hosted by a dedicated host. And no, just checked and we didnt have DRO installed
If you have the game in steam, you can right click Arma 3 in your library > properties > local files > verify integrity of local game files or whatever
It says some images are missing
those image names dont look like BI image names
What mods are you using Agent?
The server isnt hosted by me, and thats a log from the Arma server instance, not my client, we're using a heavily modded version, heres the modlist
Any chance you can upload an rpt log?

It's still likely your router. Do portforwarding
Just to be sure, this is a server RPT not a client rpt.
Yup π
yea
I just found out my IPV4 changed
to the one port forwarded
Consider looking into your router config to reserve DHCP addresses for specific networkdevice MAC addresses. Else you will have to change it again next prolonged system shutdown.
@sand dragon
Is it normal for arma to put a crash file on the desktop?
my friend's game crashed yesterday and got one on his desktop
Ever since then it hasnt loaded up properly
Is it a mod fault?
looks more to be steams fault
CH View Distance allows each client to set different view distances for different situations. In the air, you would usually set a much larger view distance than if you were infantry.
Without a mod like CH View Distance though, view Distance should be controlled from the video settings. Have you tried verifying game integrity?
If it works on your previous PC but not on your new PC, and the router settings haven't been reset previously, then it can only be to do with your firewall settings.
Oh, you disabled firewall. Can you double check that the router hasn't been reset since you had your previous PC?
Also since the ports would've been forwarded to your previous PC, you now need to reforward them to your new PC.
it was
The IPV4 that was port forwarded was different from the IPV4 in cmd ipconfig
It'll most likely work now

To host a server or a game session locally, you need to make sure first that your WAN address / external IP uses the IPv4 protocol!
Check your routerβs status page in the settings to confirm. If in doubt, ask your ISP. Websites like βwhatismyip.comβ give you a false positive.
Local servers and games can not be hosted on an IPv6 network, or IPv4 via DSlite tunnel!
https://www.avg.com/en/signal/ipv4-vs-ipv6Once you have confirmed that your connection uses the IPv4 protocol, you need to manually open / forward the ports 2302-2306 UDP.
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Dedicated_Server#Port_Forwarding
See your routerβs manual on how to do that, or ask google: β<your router model> + port forwardingβ
just a reminder...
That reminds me someone suggested me to come up with a text for the bot response for portforwarding issues.
i already did it. the text above is a copy/paste of the suggestion
damn it
still having issues doing this
again, i think this has to be some shit on my computer
blocking connections
i was able to do this before, on my old pc
You need the entire range of UDP ports 2302-2306 (defult) to the server. That seems like an incorrect, randomly selected port.
Also make sure it is open in the inbound firewall rules of the server computer.
permission to dm?
sure
ok here is a question two part at that. i have enough space for this mod. however it be like no, and is armaholic gone? it sends me to some casino webpage.
@fringe salmon
- you need at least double the installation space (not compressed download space) for mods
- armaholic is gone for good and URL was sold
fyi shown filesize is not installation size
ok thank you
and
armaholic will be missed
Okay so. I'm in a unit and its not showing up on my launcher. I've tried restarting it, resigning back into the arma launcher, resigning back into the actual website for arma units and still no dice. Any suggestions? \
arma 3 units is buggy... sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't
Pain.

Hey so, first time hosting a server on a dedicated
when we load in the view distance is really low and forced, where would we fix that?
Either your mission description.ext or your server.arma3profile.
Mission has a higher priority than the server profile.
Can't ban someone who is already banned. As that last discord message there tells you, he doesn't share a server with you because he was automatically banned by our bot a few seconds after he joined
Hello everyone, please do reply directly to this because I find it really hard to navigate discord lol (newb). I am currently looking to join a unit on Arma through the launcher and it says to log in with Bohemia Interactive account but I don't even remember making one, only of course my steam account to buy the game? How do I find out my login and link/unlink Bohemia and Steam?
you can create a bi account on the website and link it there, however you dont need to join a unit using the units service to play with other peeps
you can also just join a units discord (etc), and then play with them from there directly
Thank you. I more wanted to join to just have the badge of the Unit on my uniform or vehicles while I played warlords. I heard that was a feature?
So if I create a Bi account, how must I link to steam?
Yup thats a feature of the units service
To be able to use the untis service, yes I think so
Thanks. I contact BI support as I think they may be able to help with any prev linking of accounts when I give them my steam ID.
Is there any possible reason why, as of 1 to 2 days ago, my framerate on pretty much all games had dramatically decreased permanently regardless of the settings I have applied? ||(According to GPU-Z, my GPU's load is also through the roof considering it's an average of 97% [GPU temp stays normal though.])||
As an example, I use to be able to run Arma on 60 FPS on the lowest settings, now, on average it's 20-30.
@earnest heart, think you can help?
Could try verifying files, but nothing comes to mind off of the top of my head... is this is happening outside of A3?
This could be an #offtopic_hardware thing, hopefully not a sign of a failing GPU
Indeed it is.\
Alright.
I'm trying to connect to my ArmA 3 Antistasi server, I finally set it up and got around to installing mods. I have the same mods installed server side and client side, and added them to the command line, but when I connect I get a "keys not accepted by server" error for Enhanced Movement and Task Force Radio
@limpid quail Iirc that means you enabled mods in the launcher with key files that do not match those on the server. Instead disable all mods, and let the server tell your launcher which mods it needs. Find the server in the launcher, open the info details. Somewhere there should be a button to detail which mods it requires. Then it should also have a button or link at the bottom to make them download and install the missing ones. Takes some time if you don't have them yet. But should avoid chooing the wrong one by mistake.
Even if I try and do that, it unloads a bunch of mods I still have installed on the server, and only loads 3 of them, and I still get the error
Huh? That sounds like gibberish. Is it a dedicated server on a different machine? A dedicated server on the same machine as the client? Or are you hosting the session from the multiplayer menu?
Dedicated server on a different machine
Then the launcher that starts up when you pres play in steam cannot uninstall mods on the server. Post the list of mods you load on the server, or the commandline used to start it, or better yet: post the RPT log file of the server and client (hidden somewhere in your appdata user folder). That explains what is succesfully loaded and started.
Cant upload the RPT file in the server admins channel so this might be a better place for me to ask for help
I'm trying to host a SOGPF mission from the workshop on a dedicated server, so I found the bin file in my own downloads (steam workshop content folder), used Filebank from arma3 tools to change it to a pbo file and then named it vn_pt_latest.cam_lao_nam.pbo. I uploaded it to the server, put its name in the config fine and selected the vietnam command line
Yet when I try to join, it stays on the Altis map screen
and logging in as admin, going to the #missions page it doesnt even show camloanam as a map
you can post it to sites like pastebin and link here
@fringe salmon Try to set up the server with just vanila SOGPF mission first to make sure it is installed correctly. Once that works start using a custom/somethingdonetothePBOfile suspect mission. And then consider adding mods to it and see if those additions work. Start from known-to-work, to maybe-works-too, to tested-everything-and-it works.
Sorry for the miscommunication, I meant it only loads 3 mods but I get the error and even though they're the same mod, I get "signature mismatch" and it'll only let me load from mod library and not install
Its installed correctly, I just launched it with a SOGPF mission I made and it works fine. All the mods are the same. I'll try again
If there is a signature mismatch then some bit or byte in those files is out of place. Meaning it's not the same.
Either it's corrupt, or it's a different mod version or wrong mod.
Cam lao nam now loads in the #missions section but when I try to play the mission from the workshop, it just sits on the map page forever
I uploaded the mods from my Arma 3 workshop folder to the server's root folder
I don't know what that filebank tool does, so can't garuntee it should work.
Did you put their key files into the keys folder of the server too? That is probably the cause for the mismatch then.
Copy/paste?
Ah, I didn't know where the keys were located, found them though
check the keys folder on your client system, see if those key files are there.
They are
I'm gonna start installing those mods again but one at a time so I don't forget any steps like that one
Thank you
Hey guys, i need some help here. Since the update, I'm now getting an error when loading the game, LSYS_C_SETTINGS require addon LSYS_C_F Anyone know of this and what is the fix for this?
are you using mods?
not sure what LSYS refers to
or is it CSLA?
That's what I'm unsure of. This starting happening today since the update
I wasn't getting this error before
and yes I use mods
The error reads LSYS_C_SETTINGS require addon LSYS_C_F. I've no idea what this is referring to
@mental river
it means one addon is not loaded
verify your game data
I did. I verified the game files, 2 files were missing and those were loaded, but the error is still showing
ok
load into the game
open config viewer
go to CfgPatches
find what LSYS_C_SETTINGS is
cuz I have no idea
@regal scroll if you need help finding that let me know
Thanks @mental river I'll do that now
Do I need to load a mission to view the CfgPatches?
go to Editor
press Ctrl+D to open the debug console
there's a button called CONFIG at the bottom
Ok found it. Here is the screenshot.
It is adding that value to that array, just not sure what that value is though
I was hoping it would have an author at least 
@regal scroll can you search in the workshop folder?
I did go through that folder, I didn't see it but I'll search again. Maybe I missed it
I searched for LSYS in teh entire Arma 3 directory, and there was nothing that popped up for anything with LSYS
This is very weird...
but what about workshop?
Not there either
I assume you are referring the !Workshop directory
If not let me know
yeah
how many mods do you have?
you may have to unload them to find the culprit
or just go to launcher and repair them one by one if it's not too many
Yeah I'll try that out. That was my next step.
Is it probable that CUP, CBA require the new DLC? Just spitballin here...
This error did just happen today after the release
I don't think they were updated
plus they don't have the LSYS tag
we will never have a dependency on a (C)DLC
Ive got so many issues with this game idk where to start
every update/launch of cdlc deletes all my arsenal loadouts for both my non-standard profiles
I can't delete one of my non-standard profiles
sometimes when i launch the top menu bar takes up half the screen and looks like a failed plastic surgery
Hm all of those sound off
Submitting tickets didn't work until told the support team i was being stalked across arma
so my faith in that system is rock bottom
huh? Support tickets or feedback tracker tickets?
support
ah
dunno anything about how support tickets work
I even have video proof of my profile not being deleted and my arsenal stuff being gone
@mental river Found the culprit. It was an RHS heli sound mod. I posted the question regarding that error in their steam page. Thanks for your input and help
Sadly these all sound like things I would need to reproduce to fix, and at the same time these issues are either very rare, or unique to you for some reason
#screenshots_arma looks like your UI scale was reset to Large.
That matches your loadouts being lost. Something is bad with your profile variables saving
In your profiles directory, the username.vars.Arma3Profile file. Thats where your loadouts are stored in
I can reproduce, i have videos
yes but I need to reproduce and debug
Just looking at it happening doesn't tell me why its happening
okay, is there a way to open the profile file? File is a bit large
and i dont have the decompiler or whatever
its a binarized config, you don't usually open that
how large?
if can get corrupted if it gets too large
about 17kb
it was something so large visual studio had a fit
But then.. its probably so small because it just got reset
I wonder if the game is resetting my profile because how many kits i had?
but that doesn't make sense because it happened right when cdlc was released
for comparison my profile file with good chunk of loadouts etc in it is roughly 200kb big
yo
me and some friends have been doing this antistasi server for like 3-4 days
but now when we join, we get in for a minute, can run aroudn and shit
then it says kicked off game, battle eye not responding
any fix?
My game persistently crashes after a random time on a multiplayer server. I've emailed support and did what they recommended by cleaning my registry and reinstalling the game twice. However it still crashes so idk what to do
Did you report the crash on the feedback tracker?
I think I found the problem in the rpt file. https://gyazo.com/cbc19edb89a9e9d87ef5419d37dc9d8b
Thanks though
Whenever I try to load King of the Hill, it says that no server was found. Any Ideas? I've tried restarting everything but so far nothing has helped.
Looks like your install is corrupted. Verify the game files on steam
A bit of an odd issue,
Im running a mission file on a dedicated host
Independent team has 5 squads with about 8 squad members
I have AI disabled and all and the squad members dont spawn but the squad leaders spawn in at the start of the mission and start walking around, moving, etc
got the fun error: mission.sqm, line 0: ',raP':' ' encountered instead of '='
trying to find a pbo extractor, I tried using the debinerizer tool on arma 3 tools but that throws an error
I'd say its a binarized file that was edited in notepad, which completely messes it up
ah, well i tried to go and undo it with the arma tools, but no dice. I just reverted back to a 1 day old save and went from there
also, where the heck is the pbo extractor, since armaholics is dead
Check your filters in both the launcher and in game
If I launch arma through the launcher(with everything reset to default) my game will stutter like crazy in the editor, but if I launch the default exe(no parameters) it's smooth as butter. Can anyone tell me why?
Perhaps you have some weird launch parameters sneaking in from somewhere. Also are you running the 64bit exe on both cases?
64bit in both cases and I reset the defaults in the launcher and don't have any parameters in the exe
any chance you have custom steam startup parameters?
Just checked, nothing
there should not be any difference in launching game through launcher and exe, except possible launch parameters
set you game to windowed mode so you can see the top bar of the window
as it shows the complete launch parameters there
and compare those
hm odd
I think I found the culprit. the only difference I could see was BattleEye being on through the launcher, when turned off the issue was fixed
I cannot launch my game since It's re-downloading all my mods. Is there a way i can stop this?
I have tried everything i can think of, even going so far as too reinstall Steam itself and nothing has worked.
Pls help.
Also... No i cannot simply redownload them all, It's 107GB and i only have 200GB a month to work with
If you or your computer screwed up, and steam is now re-downloading the plethora of mods you had installed, then this discussion is for you! NOTE IF YOU HAVE COMPLETELY DELETED THE MODS FROM THE COMPUTER THIS WILL NOT HELP YOU Backup the file(s) we work with before editing, you have been warned A little more detail on the problem we'll be deal...
odd
Generally you don't need BE if you are not playing online, but it is quite essential for MP. Possibly you have something blocking its functionality or some such
Yeah, maybe virusscanner is blocking the BattlEye service.
Cant join multiplayer because it says the Server doesn't agree with my Filepatching setting?
It's enabled.
Haha, not sure what it is, honestly
π
you probably want the server browser instead
Id advice using the launchers server browser
Alright
Status access violation continuously crashing my game, anyone know how to fix?
I have tried the wiki answers about security details and perameters and whatnot and none have worked
Details are needed. Mods and situations
Dababy
so:
- with only CUP & CBA
- if you place one unit and one "system" (which one?)
does the issue happen?
Well
That unit becomes the player
And when I play it I am the unit
I just wanna use the camera and watch the AI fight
your original issue was
Whenever I spawn in a system module and start the game I get sent to the skies and can't move
Or just get stuck in place
and stated that CUP was doing that.
Well I think it might be storage now
Just tested it, it's fine
Let me try again with all mods on
It was the mod waypoints
It said something in the code
hey so im trying to fly with a stick, and i noticed that when im giving the stick like a full motion, it barely gives the stick ingame anything at all
what kind of settings do i need to make it so its more 1:1 with my actual stick?
would anyone be able to explain how you enable files in a servers cfg?
add them to the config entry
for allowed file extensions
like the message at top says
Ah right thanks, where would I find specific players rpt logs? The thread mentions them but I can only find the actual server rpt and I cant see the same error in there as in the screenshot
oh right i see thanks
would this be right for adding what the guy says?
like this?
missing the b
ah damn it doesnt seem to fixed the issue
allowedLoadFileExtensions[] = {"hpp","sqs","sqf","fsm","cpp","paa","txt","xml","inc","ext","sqm","ods","fxy","lip","csv","kb","bik","bikb","html","htm","biedi"};
this is the default
you should not remove these all, and also its extension without the dot
The github screenshot from above linked you to the server.cfg page, which shows a example of how to use that config entry
im getting this from my server report. 2021/06/18, 13:46:45 Warning: Steam Query data overflow, Mods/Signatures will not be correctly received by clients. Remove unused mods or change your server configuration to allow for more data to be sent. this doesnt really affect anyone but one individiual, who's game keeps crashing right when he tries to log in. ive added this steamProtocolMaxDataSize = 1024; to help but no luck. any thoughts?
ive changed it a couple times..to 5120, no dice
I feel that react
ill try 2048, but im at a loss. I had him pull his sys logs to see if its just his laptop cant handle it now.
like i said, it only effects him, no one else
this is currently my cfg
language="English";
adapter=-1;
MinBandwidth=800000;
MaxBandwidth=25000000;
MaxMsgSend=768;
MaxSizeGuaranteed=702;
MaxSizeNonguaranteed=384;
MinErrorToSend=0.002;
MinErrorToSendNear=0.02;
MaxCustomFileSize=100000;
steamProtocolMaxDataSize = 2048;
MinBandwidth=800000;
That looks very wrong
steamProtocolMaxDataSize = 2048;
That is a server.cfg entry, not a basic.cfg one like all the others in your snippet, you're in the wrong file
its too small
should i add another 0 or 2?
it would be nice if that was advertised
will do
ok so i have a bit of an odd problem
whenever i take off in helicopters my collective raise button dosent work
i start going up even when not touching anything
and i am always spinning
except for when auto hover is on
then i will just slowly go up
and none of my controlls work
the only thing i did that messed it up was i tried out advanced flight mode
and now neither advanced nor standard works
send help
Seems like my remoteexec is broken for dedicated:
In example, I'm trying to execute locally (tried server exec too):
[[6854.65,16061.2,0],[5355.06,14751.3,0],"Heavy",0] remoteExec ["OT_fnc_NATOTankSupport",2];
- with no result. No log entries. The function didn't ever called - I placed the diag_log in the very beginning.
But server exec via console[[6854.65,16061.2,0],[5355.06,14751.3,0],"Heavy",0] spawn OT_fnc_NATOTankSupportworks fine.
What could be a problem?
Does anyone have an idea what typically causes these sorts of error messages?
Bad scripts/mods
Bad as in broken
Aha thanks, Will try to root it out
I get this evry time i wanna load a scenaio "You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependant on downloadebel content that have been deleted. Data_f_vietnam
as i guss it have somthing to do with SOG, but i have not deleted anything in the folders
you have to have SOG loaded
it is not a sog senario, it is the gunship scenaro
uhm... then any other vietnam mod
that file is a part of SOG, but i have looked for at way to reinstal the dlc but cant find it
then try top repair the cdlc via steam
In Steam Library, click Arma 3 game, right click on it choose properties, in local files menu click button Verify integrity of game files.
Working on a mission that uses Simplex as a primary feature.
Issue is however, i cannot find the "Weapon Set" of my aircraft, so instead its stuck with the default settings.
Anyone know how i can find and copy the weapon set of my jet?
NOTE: Using SOG, if that helps
i have some wird and different layot of gaining altitude and stuff in a heli. Its like cirkels with information at the bottom of my screen. And it kinda messes up my flying. Its not an addon. Anyone have some help
like is it a new update or something
weird*
Nvm i fixed it lol i spenden 7 hours to try. And the reasen was that i was in advanced fly mode
I'm experiencing a weird issue and I'm not sure what it's a symptom of.
We're running SOG:PF Mike Force completely stock with TFAR as the only server side mod, and periodically when we're playing the server will lock up and stop responding. Players will appear to run in place, and bots will stop functioning, but players do not get disconnected.
On the console side, no errors appear in any log I can find, and the process does not crash or stop responding. However, after the server process is closed, it can't be successfully relaunched until task manager has been opened and a spare Arma process is ended.
We originally thought this was a resource issue, so we ended up swapping providers and getting a box with much higher RAM and a newer stronger processor, but the issue is persisting. Resource Monitor on the server doesn't seem to show anything capping out at this point either.
I'm at a loss for what could be causing this or what the solution might be.
What?
Elaborate?
Did you set any parameters?
Double check
No errors just that screen and no PBOs
Did your Arma 3 worked fine before?
Yeah last played about a month ago
Verified for sure?
did you clear your profile?
take a backup of it though
Triple check, do you have ANY checked parameters in Arma 3 Launcher?
Do you have any interaction with Arma 3 before and after the issue?
What do you mean by that?
Also I can hear the menu is there when I move my mouse around
ANY interaction with Arma 3. Sort everything out
havn't been on my PC since the last time I played.
Now that I think of it my cards might be out of date
Ill try that
Cards doesn't do such issues
Okay let me guess (if you're in doubt, better to make a backup):
- get to Arma 3\Addons\
- Delete
ui_f.pboandui_f.pbo.a3.bisign - get to Arma 3\Dta\
- Delete everything inside
- Verify

Recusrsive inclusion of the file [z\bcdw\addons\wedge\script_component.hpp]
@steady hawk
I just want to fix this
And what is the situation?
everytime I try to load with the modset I'm using it goes to the black screen before the game loads, and then crashes, and pops up with the error code: Recusrsive inclusion of the file [z\bcdw\addons\wedge\script_component.hpp]
I tried vanilla, its fine, i tried a different modset, its fine
I believe its a specific mod, because this happens with another group with similar mods
you answered your own question.
find the mod and remove it
So a development on my server "hanging"... It seems like the last thing appearing in the server .rpt log is this each time:

Anyone have any ideas for cause/fix?
Iβm not sure it is a mod tho thats the thing mate
Its arma, itβs never that simple
It is definitely not vanilla
wat?
I tried vanilla, its fine, i tried a different modset, its fine
a simple googling of "bcdw" gave me this mod:

I love you thank you so much
Hey so, I'm having perfomance issues. I'm completely fine when in certain areas. But when I'm looking torward an area with a lot of gunfire and many different things. (Basically where the main combat areas is) I loose pretty much all of my FPS
If anyone can help please lmk
Im on all low settings.
@fallen shadow
a) don't use low settings... Leave it on autodetec and reduce view distance. Maybe even disable pip.
b) lower fps in gunfight regions is expected behavior
does anyone know how to fix Mics not working in game?

friend of mine keeps getting this error when trying to join our server
@pine sentinel does your server run that mod?
your friend needs to run only the mods the server is running to be able to join
Don't know if this is considered trouble shooting but for some reason even if I have my view settings maxed out to 12000 I still get this fog. My issue was fixed with Ace but since I've been playing Prairie fire recently it's become insanely aggravating when trying to fly.
Cause: Server is freezing.
Maybe it's actual fog 
Or maybe the server is forcing the view distance
Doesn't mike force mission have a force fog thing?
Mike force has a special live view distance adjuster that tried to compensate fps drops. It kicks in at 20fps I recall. You can set its maximum in the extra setting menu (when in game esc and left top corner)
Also generally in multiplayer, the server handles the view distance settings so that all players have the same range.
I don't think we have the same definition of "cause". π
the server freezing, causes that log message
What causes the freezing though, I dunno ^^
Hi, im looking for some help fixing an Arma 3 crash that ive been experiencing pretty consistently for a while. I was told this is the place i could find help.
Fair warning, im relatively new to arma, been playing for a year all with one medium sized unit. Im also not the most tech oriented when it comes to PC's so ill probably need explicit instructions on how to fix the issue.
Further more ive tried a bunch potential fixes, with the help of some friends we've come to the conclusion that its likely an issue with a mod loading textures or something. Perhaps a good place to start would be if someone could show me how to use Arma Tools to narrow down what mod is presenting the error in my paa files. Please and thank you, if you're willing to help @ me in your response so i can see the message, we can then discuss the details and i can catch you up on the problem.
have you reported the crash on the feedback tracker?
If you do so, and a dev looks at it he can tell you why you're crashing
@snow hound βοΈ
When i set up a multiplayer server for my friends this is all i see
And they cant join
I verified the game files
maybe it just takes a bit to load?
I believe i did a while back, i can submit another ticket. Its been a while since the first incident so i dont quite remember.
do other missions work? vanilla missions?
ping me with link to it then and I'll fast-track it
Its the same mission as yesterday
is it custom? it looks like there's no playable slots
