they dont see it in server tab

#

Cant even invite them

torn meteor
#

Do people rp in this server?

uncut trellis

torn meteor
#

uncut trellis
#

torn meteor
#

okey bye

uncut trellis
regal eagle
#

I cant join other servers

uncut trellis
#

you wont if you have mods loaded

mental river
regal eagle
#

I turned all mods off still cant join

#

Hmm

#

My internet seems normal

mental river
#

What is your windows language?

regal eagle
#

swedish

mental river
#

I think I recall people having problems with the game in RTL languages

ok it's fine then

#

Try running the game in windowed mode

#

See if it shows the slots

regal eagle
#

when i try to join this is all i see

#

a random non mod server

#

now i got this

mental river
#

So the problem is steam

#

Are you running the game from steam?

regal eagle
#

yes

mental river
#

Can you upload the latest rpt?

#

!rpt

Arma RPT

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

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

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

regal eagle
#

what in it should i send?

mental river
#

Btw also check steam
Make sure it's online
And you see the message "steam is online" in launcher

mental river
#

All of it

regal eagle
#

How do i get the RPT into the sqfbin site

mental river
#

Then hit save

#

Then send the link

regal eagle
#

Nothing happens when i paste :/

mental river
#

Dm the file to me

regal eagle
#

Cant

mental river
#

Why not?

regal eagle
mental river

static wyvern
#

I really want to delete a profile in Arma but it keeps coming back

#

please, can someone help me

static wyvern
#

i have video proof of the profile getting deleted in 2 ways and still coming back

#

I did

#

mental river
regal eagle
#

mental river
#

Do you even select any text?

regal eagle
#

Is it suppose to be a RPT file?

mental river
#

Yes
Open the file
Select all (ctrl A)
Then copy
Then paste

#

Don't copy the file itself meowsweats

My headless client joined the server successfully but is failing to assign itself to the headless client role, hence none of the AI spawn. What could be causing this?

regal eagle
#

@mental river

mental river
regal eagle
#

?

mental river
regal eagle
#

oh

#

should that fix it???

mental river
#

Probably not

#

But that's bad anyway

#

Your rpt doesn't have anything useful
Run the game again and join a server

regal eagle
#

Im in

mental river
#

Try joining.
If it fails, exit the game and send the rpt

#

@regal eagle so?

regal eagle
#

im in πŸ‘

mental river
#

Don't touch cpu count and extra threads
And use Intel TBB for malloc

regal eagle
#

Weird because i have had it for along time like that

#

without a hitch

mental river
#

πŸ€”

regal eagle
#

well

#

now it works

mental river
#

ok cool πŸ‘

regal eagle
mental river
#

The game can detect them automatically

#

afaik touching them can cause issues

hey guys sorry to bother im running a linux server and one of my players was banned but I want to unban him now - however i cannot find the ban.txt file does anyone know where it might be or what i can do to unban the player i cant find much help online unfortunately

vapid whale
#

My server crashed on startup, these are the errors i got:

#

can anyone troubleshoot this

vapid whale
#

nvm i have infact fixed it

thick ginkgo
#

for some reason anytime I'm messing around with high command in antistasi my volume goes to about 1/4 permanently

#

any kind of fix for this?

mental river
#

not windows

thick ginkgo
#

weird thing is if I look at a map it's completely fine

#

ACE is used

mental river
#

do you play in single player?

thick ginkgo
#

nope I'm on a dedicated at the moment

mental river
#

so you're the owner?

thick ginkgo
#

yes, the dedicated is on a different machine

#

it feels like it's acting like I've got my map up or something

mental river
#

can you test if this solves your problem?

0 fadeSound 1
thick ginkgo
#

that just muted everthing

#

im in a vehicle

mental river
#

oh sorry

#

I meant 1

#

changed the script

thick ginkgo
#

I believe so? the sound is very variable, in/outside a vehicle

#

it's kind of hard to tell

mental river
#

if that solves it it must be a scripting problem. Not sure which mod. Maybe Antistasi itself

thick ginkgo
#

I don't think it did, it's still unusually quiet

How do I change my mouse sensitivity to a specific number??

#

like this is a slider- I wanna change it to a number lmao

#

I checked configs but it appears as "Medium"

harsh heron
#

Not sure if this is the place for this question. I am currently using Arma 3 Tools and attempting to binarize p3d files. I am pressing the button on the GUI on Tools and it brings me to a folder, I attempt to execute the binarize.exe and it opens a command prompt and closes it immediately. Any help would be great

quaint jewel
# warped plume

Go to
My Documents/Arma 3
open the <arma player name>.Arma3Profile file in notepad (not the .vars.Arma3Profile!)
search for "mouseSensitivity"
There are

mouseSensitivityX=1.2089115;
mouseSensitivityY=1.2089115;

quaint jewel
#

you usually don't specifically binarize p3d's

harsh heron
#

Alright thanks mate, I will try that now

warped plume
#

oh legend!!

#

thanks!!

crystal pulsar

I have a problem with my arma 3's cursor thing, sometimes, when the arma 3 is generally just bugging out for me, basically it not responding, I mostly use the task manager to basically delete the process, in order to actually be able to continue playing. Though when I will do that, a weird glitch would eventually begin happening once the arma 3 has loaded, cursor itself is shown normally, the thing is, if you point something directly at, it wont really be "interacting" with it, and the cursor itself would be moved to the right, which makes me interact with not the button which I have pointed my cursor at, but the thing to the right.

If you didnt understand that, I will soon send a video of me experiencing the glitch

wise barn
#

Looks like your game pops out of focus for some reason.
Run it in full-screen windowed mode

crystal pulsar
#

Disregard, that weird glitch was happening because of a mod.

#

Apologies I guess

sudden oracle
#

any idea what this could be/causing this?

wise barn
#

did he copy the mod key files from the key folder to the server's key folder?

sudden oracle
#

yeah

mental river

This is all it says

mental river
#

Have you enabled battleEye?

placid monolith
#

What is that

mental river
#

It's an anti cheat engine
Check in launcher to see if it's enabled

After I check the box can I start playing

Anyone else getting that?

It's down but if you need something you can use the wayback machine to access it

Yeah cheers. Not working all that great for me, but maybe I can see what I can find.

If you search google for what you want from the biki and get a link you can then plug that into the Wayback Machine's URL

#

I got around it... Wanted a list of EH's, but "addEventHandler" page wasn't working to go off, so I went for addMPEventHandler, selected that link then scrolled back up to the list of EH's. I mainly work off the Scripting Commands page anyway, so not too much of a difference. Just WBM was handling a page funny. Appreciate the assistance, Grahame.

#

if i understand correctly they're trying to read AE535EF5 which doesn't exist

#

thing is, is it software or hardware related ?

#

and is it necessary that i check my ram

visual orbit
#

Hi so I have been trying to set up a server through UpNp and my friend is unable to join. I have checked my router and the correct ports have been opened through upnp. I provided him with my ipv4 address and port 2302

mental river
sturdy tulip
#

alright

pine kite
visual orbit
pine kite
#

IPv4 address is made up of 4 numbers seperated by dots. What are the first 3 numbers?

#

If you gave the wrong IP number, then his game is trying to look for a server address in the wrong place/network.

visual orbit
#

Can I just give my whole IP address? I mean it's the public one

pine kite
#

Ok, that is what I wanted to make sure. Local IP addresses have a specific begining.

visual orbit
#

98.1 this is the first three numbers

pine kite
#

If you made a typo and it infact begins with 192.168.x.y then it is a local address and he can't do anything with that.

#

UPnP doesn't always work correctly. You really need to have UDP ports 2302-2306 open in both the router and firewall of the server.

visual orbit
#

okay I will try to do that. Just udp?

pine kite
#

It does for me

#

No TCP port inbound open for my server.

visual orbit
#

got ya got ya. I will let you know how that works. It may take a sec as I am currently away from my computer

pine kite
#

No problem, I'm not in a position to help troubleshoot this myself. Beyond writing here a bit.

visual orbit
#

roger roger. Thank you!

visual orbit
#

okay so I figured it out. My isp uses CGnat and so I will call them later to fix the problem

pine kite
#

Yeah, that can be the issue. Not common, but happens

Be mindfull of the formation though. Don't want them crashing into trees in a Wedge or line formation. When in Safe-mode they follow road more carefully. When in combat mode they can go cross-country.

it's not that personal tho

it only contains the system info, like how much RAM you have, what is you Windows version, when you ran the game, what mods you're running, etc.

I've got a TrackIR 5 and just got Arma 3. I'm playing through Contact and I noticed the my head won't "roll" or "lean" using my TrackIR. Is there a way to get this working?

fringe salmon
#

heko

mental river
#

you can only do that in vehicles

waxen thunder
#

Ok, I did manage to figure out the "lean" feature. I just needed to make the TrackIR profile far more "pronounced" when sliding left or right.

#

It was doing it, it was just so subtle I couldn't notice.

#

Thanks for the info @mental river I'll try it out in a vehicle next ime I'm in one and see if it's working.

they are currently live

does it not show up in server browser?

#

and are you trying in game or in the launcher

trim crypt
#

server browser is not loading any servers besides the official ones

#

in game and launcher

uncut trellis
#

so in launchers internet tab nothing shows up?

#

also make sure you dont have any active filters

trim crypt
#

ill check again on filters

uncut trellis
#

for comparison if you are in the official tab, only official servers show

trim crypt
#

working in launcher

#

but as soon as I try to connect I am stuck in the game loading screen

uncut trellis
#

give it some time

#

some missions can take long time to load

trim crypt
#

I dont mean the mission screen

#

I mean the game load up screen

#

the main one

uncut trellis
#

does your game start normally if you just run it?

#

also do you alt tab out of it?

#

if you do, that can hang it up

#

try running the game in windowed or borderless window mode

#

just to see if that works any better

trim crypt
#

sure, Ill change that up

#

it does run if I just hit the start button

#

as soon as I try to connect to custom servers it just doesnt want to

uncut trellis
#

does the server use mods?

#

can you join some official server as a test?

trim crypt
#

official servers work

#

they are all fine

#

trying it now with one over the launcher

#

it worked now

#

over the filter

#

direct connect seems to be the problem

#

Well

#

Thank you guys !

Appreciate the help

How can I do a co-op scenario with my friends?

#

Port forwarding isn't working

sage pawn
#

When people mention port forwarding, a step that's often overlooked is making firewall exceptions.

#

However, I'm here with a problem of my own: I'm having difficulty getting CUP maps to play ball with my server (in Liberation scenarios, to be exact). I have the @ folders in my server directory, I put their keys in the keys folder, they're in the mod command line in the .bat file (along with other mods that have worked dozens of times), and yet whenever I boot up the server and go to select a mission, there are no role slots available. I'm able to load up and select a role in my Liberation scenario in Cam Lao Nam (through an atypical means of dragging all of the addons from "vn" into the addons folder in the server directory. While not what others do, it actually worked in my case. I'm wondering, would doing that with CUP work as well?) with no apparent problems. I'm losing my mind over this.

If you have a solution, please @ me.

Sure, one moment.

it feels like it's outdated, or you haven't loaded the required mods

wait hold on

#

it looks like the game didn't load any of your mods

sage pawn
#

The Reshmaan mission came from a guy in the Liberation Discord server; Takistan (which had the same problem as this; I just posted this log because it's basically the same as the others) was the most recently released version.

mental river
sage pawn
#

Why didn't it load the mods?

mental river
#

you put mods=

sage pawn
#

What's weird is that the way I had it before, it loaded all the mods.

#

I'll give this a try, one moment.

mental river
sage pawn
#

When I looked at my batch file, there wasn't one.

mental river
#

ok then it was just truncated

sage pawn
#

It's taking a little more time than usual to load up, which might be because it's loading the mods, so this could be the fix.

mental river
#

yeah

#

or it's just throwing millions of errors! πŸ˜„

sage pawn
#

Goddamnit. Still no slots. It loaded a bunch of other mod-related missions though.

#

And that's for both Takistan and the other one.

sage pawn
mental river
#

how many did you have?

#

looks like some were not loaded (judging by the errors)

mental river
sage pawn
#

Is there a quick way to check how many?

mental river
#

looks like only this wasn't loaded

#

Is that what caused the crash, and if so, how do I enable it?

mental river
#

is CA_LauncherMagazine from your "mod"?

sage pawn
#

I don't think so?

#

It doesn't ring any bells, I'm afraid.

mental river
#

well idk. but if you check lines 3727 and onward, you'll see thousands of errors

#

how did you copy the mods to your server?

#

maybe they're corrupted

sage pawn
#

I went into the game directory, to that hidden folder that contains all of the mod @s. I copied those folders from the Arma 3 directory to my server folder.

mental river
#

with those mods?

sage pawn
#

How would I do that? All I know how to do is the .bat method I saw on YouTube.

mental river
sage pawn
#

Yes, it is.

mental river
#

@sage pawn I think it didn't load prairie fire either

#

do you have it?

sage pawn
#

Yeah, and I've played it with friends several times. I had to copy its addons folder into my server's addons folder and that enables us to play (somehow).

sage pawn
#

That's so weird. I don't know why it would say that. I'm also able to play Global Mobilization the same way, I should mention.

mental river
sage pawn
#

What am I looking for specifically?

mental river
#

a folder named vn

sage pawn
#

It isn't in there. Do I copy vn from the Arma 3 folder?

mental river
#

Has anyone had any issues with helicopters not deploying ropes so I can sling load? I have it on my server but only 1 helicopter will do it?

sage pawn
mental river
#

it doesn't matter what you put for folder names. but using @ helps you detect what is a mod

sage pawn
#

I didn't realize I'd left that out of the command line.

#

It has since been fixed. Could that be what was breaking it?

mental river
#

I don't know. maybe

sage pawn
#

Hopefully that's the fix. It would make sense, since both missions use a unit template with those units included. I just didn't realize it wasn't loading at all due to that accursed typo.

#

I'll wait for vn to finish copying and then I'll fire it up and give it a go. Will the server automatically load vn or am I going to need to create an @ for it? Also, like I said, I copied the addons folder into the server directory; would this cause a crash or conflict of some kind, and whether it does or not, do I need to delete all of the SPF files from it?

#

vn has finished copying over, I'm now starting up the server.

#

Aaand same deal as before. Will send over an .rpt.

#

And to my horror, a new problem presents itself, namely that whenever I load up the Liberation Cam Lao Nam scenario that was working before, it now completely kicks me out of the mission and back to the mission selection screen when I fire up the scenario.

mental river
# sage pawn

it seems to me that you either have a corrupted mod, or a mod that is bad and is messing up cfgAmmo class

#

because of these errors:

2:38:33 Warning Message: No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgAmmo/CA_LauncherMagazine.simulation'.
2:38:33 Warning Message: '/' is not a value

sage pawn
mental river
#

also test the scenario with that mod pack on your PC (not server) to make sure it works before using it on the server

#

@sage pawn if you don't know how to verify mods, open Arma 3 Launcher, right click on the mod, and select repair

#

don't verify them together

#

one at a time (wait for it to finish in Steam)

sage pawn
sage pawn
mental river
#

also try to load the mods on the server in the same order as the game launcher

#

if you look at your rpt (the first two lines), you'll see (altho sometimes it's truncated)

sage pawn
#

I'll give that a go. Will report back when done.

#

I will say, looking at the game launcher on the same device as the server, the mods are rather randomly ordered. I know CBA A3 is like the nucleus of most mods but it's below a lot of random shit.

sage pawn
#

Will copy them over now.

mental river
#

and check the rpt to make sure there are no errors

sage pawn
#

Check the rpt of the game?

#

I didn't know it made them.

mental river
#

yes

sage pawn
#

Where are those located?

mental river
#

same as before

#

Arma RPT

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

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

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

mental river
#

the client rpt is called arma3_date.rpt
server is arma3server_date.rpt

sage pawn
#

News to me. I didn't realize there were rpt files for the game itself.

mental river
#

there are still errors notlikemeow

these were not loaded at all

sage pawn
#

Oh, that's because those were non-Steam mods I had loaded on my desktop. Forgot about those, that's my fault entirely.

mental river
sage pawn
#

Will do so now.

mental river
# sage pawn

ok. your CUP is fine. so something else is breaking them.
keep loading the mods one by one. once the game is loaded, open the rpt and search for Warning Message: No entry. if there are none, it's good. otherwise stop

#

no need to upload the rpt here anymore. you can do it on your computer

#

(the rpt is just a text file; you can open it with notepad; I recommend Notepad++ or VSCode)

sage pawn
#

I use NP++ as well. πŸ‘

I'll try going one at a time. I should mention that I haven't copied any of the folders over yet.

So just to confirm, do I have to completely boot up the game and get to the main menu for the rpt to generate?

mental river
#

nothing was corrupted apparently.

#

you probably have a bad mod

#

So just to confirm, do I have to completely boot up the game and get to the main menu for the rpt to generate?
yes

sage pawn
mental river
sage pawn
#

Any guess what it could be?

mental river
#

nope

#

I don't know half the mods on your mod list

sage pawn
#

Fair enough. It was worth asking.

mental river
#

@sage pawn if you want to shave off some time, you can load them in groups

#

e.g. break them in two groups. load group 1. if ok, ignore it. it's group 2 that's breaking them (and vice versa)
then break the faulty group in another two groups and keep doing this

#

e.g. I have mods 1 to 10;
I load mods 1 to 5 first; if broken -> no need to load 6-10 (one of mods in 1 - 5 is broken)
now I break 1 to 5 into two groups: 1-3 and 4-5
and keep doing this till I find the culprit

sage pawn
#

Okay, I found "No Entry CA_Launcher" errors. Lemme backtrack and figure out which mod it is.

#

The culprit is Arma 2 Sounds for CUP.

mental river
sage pawn
#

I don't understand why that would be causing problems, and I really wish it wasn't because I really enjoy it.

mental river
#

so you can join the server ok now?

sage pawn
#

I haven't copied the mod folders over yet. Once I do that, I'll give it a try.

#

I was just testing the mods systematically.

mental river
mental river
sage pawn
#

I'm a little confused by the verbiage.

mental river
sage pawn
#

Gotcha.

#

Copyin' all the shit (minus the problem mod) over now.

#

A thought occurs: with audio mods, if you have one on while making a mod, will it be put on as an automatic ingrained requirement or does the mod only utilize whatever's directly involved in its conception (so like if you made a custom unit that combined RHS and CUP stuff but had JSRS on, for example - would it just use RHS and CUP, or would JSRS be dragged into it as well?)?

mental river
sage pawn
#

Holy mother of fuck! It... at least shows player slots; whether or not it'll boomerang me back to the mission select screen once I boot up the mission is the question.

#

Fuckity fuck. Yeah, it just shoots me back to the mission select screen as soon as I start loading in.

mental river
#

pls tone down the swearing

sage pawn
#

Didn't realize that was a problem but apologies.

mental river
sage pawn
#

I don't have it running on the server.

mental river
#

does the client have it enabled?

#

also, check the rpt

sage pawn
#

You mean my machine, or...?

mental river
sage pawn
#

Nope, it's disabled in the launcher.

#

Which .rpt log am I looking at - the server or the client?

mental river
#

client

#

it should say why you get kicked

sage pawn
#

What am I looking for (keywords)?

mental river
#

I don't remember what it says

#

maybe starting mission?

sage pawn
mental river
# sage pawn

yeah probably that's it
see if it says anything about why you get disconnected

sage pawn
#

I didn't get a message in-game, I should mention - it just kicked me back to the mission select screen. If you mean the .rpt, it mentions recompiling ALiVE and all that but doesn't really say anything that stands out as "you have been kicked" (but I'm not seasoned in decoding these .rpt files).

sage pawn
mental river
#

I don't know what these lines are trying to say (10162):

4:48:28 Shutdown normally

#

@sage pawn wait, you didn't even unload the faulty mod meowsweats

sage pawn
#

Because I thought it would work clientside but not serverside.

mental river
#

it's faulty

#

it'll never work

sage pawn
#

rip

mental river
#

plus you can't load mods that are not allowed by the server

sage pawn
#

You can if you nor the server don't have Battleye on; that's how it's worked for me in the past.

#

I've taken off the bad mod, starting up the server...

#

Yeah, no bueno. Just kicks me back to the start menu, but that message about unaccessible ladder points persists.

mental river
sage pawn
#

I'm not sure which errors we're talking about here.

#

The errors relating to launchers are out of the way, but there's more, I'm sure.

mental river
#

it makes no sense to me.
perhaps someone else can take a look at it?

sage pawn
coral otter
#

What addons do you have loaded ? can i see a screenshot? ^^

sage pawn
#

That's all the stuff in my server folder.

coral otter
sage pawn
#

Earlier we determined that the only faulty mod is this sound mod that replaces the CUP Weapons' sounds with those from Arma 2.

coral otter
#

As a first, would check game file integrity, since there was a faulty mods all together
And then unloading one mods per one mods, like for a starter the "Arma 3 Custom buildings - Original" since it seems there is some missing config somewhere building related

sage pawn
#

I'll take off custom buildings since I don't even think any of my other mods use that one.

If you want my train of thought on it, i would say you might have a second faulty addon :x

Booting up le server to put your theory to the test.

Let me fetch the .rpt.

SSDD. It's still mentioning the "Unaccessible ladder point for AI" error despite having disabled the mod on both my client and the server.

coral otter

think_turtle Wgere did you got your CUP ?

#

iirc ca\structures_e where A2 or AOP port i think ?

sage pawn
#

I got CUP from the Workshop.

#

Both Terrains (Core and Maps). After downloading and verifying/repairing them for possible damage, I copied the file folders from the Arma 3 director to my server folder, added any and all keys to the keys folder, and added the mods to the batch file's command line argument.

coral otter
#

I don't know then think_turtle
I'm guessing it's coming from either CUP or affiliated, why, where, and when idk :/

sage pawn
#

sigh

Juuust fabulous. Now I can't even play on my server. No idea what the hell the problem is (probably because it seems to like changing on the fly), I've verified my mods and submitted more .rpts than I can keep track of...

Thank you for your aid, @coral otter. I'm going to bed. If anybody else can think of some solutions to the problem I'm faced with (TL;DR below for those just tuning in), @ me and I'll get back to you when I regain consciousness.

TL;DR:

  • Original problem was two new modded Liberation missions I'd set up had no slots.
  • Fixed the slots problem, went through a few troublesome mods in the process, but a new problem appears: whenever I load up any scenario, it lets me pick slots but kicks me to the main menu midway through the loading process.
  • Most recent client .rpt file attached.

You are missing a ton of mods. Don't randomly join servers via in game server browser, use the arma launcher server tab

I built a mission using the ALiVE mod along with several other mods, mostly stuff that adds factions weapons etc. everything kind of worked when running a server with TADST (my friends couldn't connect over the internet but hamachi allowed them to connect via LAN.) The problem is that I rented a server from Nitrado and I can't get the server to show up in the server browser. I used Filezilla to upload all the mod files to the server and added the mods to the command line in the server. But the server doesn't show up

wheat trench
#

Hello, I've tried searching over and over again but can't seem to figure out how to load 60+ mods onto a dedicated server, from everything I've combed over I put something like "-mod=@ace;@ACE 3 Extension (Animations and Actions)" but the issue lies in that the shortcut to the arma server exe has a limited amount of characters that can be inputted and thus I quickly run out of space and can't load many mods

steady hawk
#

You mean this part?

#

Disregard the language but you can assume what I wanted to say

wheat trench
#

yeah

steady hawk
#

You can use a bat file instead

#

start "" "F:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3\arma3server_x64.exe" -mod=[...]Like this

wheat trench
#

ohhh alrighty

#

thank you, I've been trying to get something to work for hours lol

steady hawk
#

See? Asking correctly makes a correct answer.

wheat trench
#

that it does indeed

#

well darn, the next issue is it ain't loading mods at all

steady hawk
#

How'd ya did it?

wheat trench
#

I bet I'm going entirely wrong about this somewhere

steady hawk
#

Try to do -mod="modA";"modB";"modC";[...];

#

I mean the quotes

wheat trench
#

so quote the directory leading to the mod?

steady hawk
#

Should be

wheat trench
#

-mod="C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3!Workshop@6 x 6 All Terrain Vehicle"

steady hawk
#

Prolly should do

wheat trench
#

alrighty, I'll give just that mod a try

#

I just realized I wonder if an issue where both my client and the dedicated server are wanting to use those files will arise

mental river
#

@steady hawk @wheat trench just do:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Arma3Server_x64.exe" -noSplash -enableHT -hugePages "-mod=..."
#

no need for start

steady hawk
#

Oh yeah. That was just my solution, not really smart at bat files

you can remove the noSplash stuff

I have a very strange phenomenon - I have a mission that I have edited, but when I start the server and connect to it, it does not download the mission.

Where the heck is it downloading the mission from, is there another folder other than the MPMissionCache?

Only VN/CBA nothing else

make sure the they are loaded on the server

There is no folder __CUR.MP.Cam_Lao_Nam not on the dedicated, not on my client

fringe salmon

Yes, and it also works the whole mission, but just, it's not edited, it's just the old version. Funnily enough, I can now also place new objects in the MP and so on, they are then also there, but it never loads the mission into the MPMissionCache - it seems to pull them from somewhere else (MP means, play as MP from editor - before, when i did start to play this mission, it was downloaded to the mpmission cache, now it starts without downloading anything, even if i edited the mission)

#

Also if I unzip the edited mission and open it in the editor, then it has version=60, but if I save it, then it gives version=54 (old version) again. I just don't understand where it takes this information from....

is anyone here experienced in running a server through Nitrado? Setting mods up is very confusing

gaunt oxide

nvm apparently Nitrado is a nightmare to try to use with mods. looking for another provider if anyone has suggestions

My router has UPNP enabled but I Still get the error that the Port Foward failed how can I fix this?

Check your router’s status page in the settings to confirm. If in doubt, ask your ISP. Websites like β€œwhatismyip.com” 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-ipv6

Once 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 router’s manual on how to do that, or ask google: β€œ<your router model> + port forwarding”```

# wheat trench that seemed to have done it

It's the spaces in the paths to the mods. Whenever you see a space in the foldernames leading upto a file or folder, encapsulate it with double quotes. It's a Windows thing.

Would questions about hosting a private game be better here or in #server_windows? Didn't want to do a dedicated server just trying to host with UPnP for scenarios on the fly.

#

Been trying on and off for weeks but haven't been able to host a private game. Port forwarding being a headache and my game not showing up for friends once active.

#

Read that someone went so far as too call their ISP and got it sorted. Xfinity's chat was a bit of a waste of time for me.

quaint jewel
#

port forwarding might not even be possible if your ISP doesn't let you

#

if they don't give you your own IP address (its shared by multiple people to save money and resources), its often just not possible

#

For playing with only a few friends, Hamachi or similar tools are probably the best way

wet summit
#

I've been digging through the router's admin tools and believe I have all the port stuff set up properly.

quaint jewel
#

Yeah. But if your router doesn't even get the ability to choose port forwards (because its controlled by the ISP side already) thats not gonna help

wet summit
#

Just been looking for an easy way to connect in private to show new friends how to play.

quaint jewel
#

UPnP never worked for me.
But back when I still had my own IP address (I don't anymore sadcat) I had no problems with manual forward. 2302-2306 UDP (I think you only need 2305 or even less without battleye)

wet summit
#

Is there a way to tell if the router's port settings are being overruled by ISP?

#

Or do I need to make a dreaded phone call

quaint jewel
#

yeah there are some port forwarding test tools

#

I never found a reliable one.. or non-shady looking one though

wet summit
#

I tried Hamachi with the same friend who's been trying to see if I become visible fiddling with ports but Hamachi didn't work at the time either.

quaint jewel
wet summit
#

Would an error pop-up when starting the server?

quaint jewel
#

Man NAT punching for Arma servers would be neat popcat

wet summit
#

It lets me get past that message and to the role assignment screen

quaint jewel
#

That looks like UPnP? That never worked for me

wet summit
#

ah

#

Any recommendations for sandbox stuff in private to show newbies around?

#

maybe there's some public sandbox server I'm unaware of with like 2-4 or lockable slots

quaint jewel
#

with or without mods?

wet summit
#

without would be fine, I've given up on running workshop missions/mods in co-op after all this

quaint jewel
#

without you can always try to catch a public/official zeus server.
You just need to grab the zeus slot

#

Just important that the zeus is set to god mode (in slot selection screen, theres a configure button in the top right)

wet summit
#

Will give port forward one more try then switch to trying that.

#

This seems accurate, yeah?

quaint jewel
#

yes. If the IPv4 address is the internal IP of your computer

wet summit
#

Was strange, I kept getting two different ipv4's showing up. One my friend could see that looked like a normal IP and one that I could see that was way shorter, 10.0.0.(number)

quaint jewel
#

10.* sounds like a internal

#

you have a external from internet->router (whatismyip.com shows it to you) and a internal one from router->your pc

wet summit
#

when trying to connect they use the external one?

quaint jewel
#

yes

#

they use the external one.
Your router sees the request on the port, and due to your port forwarding entry it forwards it to your internal ip

#

I can lend you my server if you want, should be able to leave it up for the week

Edit: too late I'm asleep now

Hey guys anyone know how to fix this

yeah just google that message

i did google didn't find anyone :/

delete / uninstall one drive as long as you don't use it

Im having extreme performance issues with Arma 3, I have tried resetting my computer, making sure my specs are good enough, and checked my wifi but i cant get more than 4 FPS anywhere in the game. Can someone assist me?

daring tulip
#

is your graphics on high?

#

I got mine on a mix of standard and high

cerulean skiff
#

it is but i tried low and it didnt change the frame rate

daring tulip
#

oh

#

Idk than

#

sorry

cerulean skiff
#

yeah it sucks

uncut trellis
#

use autodetect for video settings and set your view distance to something reasonable, like 2000

#

and see how that goes

#

also what are your computer specs

#

and also have you installed the game on HDD or SSD and on internal or external drive

#

and is it desktop of laptop

cerulean skiff
#

the autodetect gives me ultra on almost everything, i tried even lower than 2000 view, my specs are better than the suggested things (it would take me too long to find all my specs), I dont know which i installed it on but i do know its internal drive, and im on desktop.

#

@uncut trellis

iron sentinel

is there anyway to increase view distance on targeting pods (like in the A-10) seperate from overall view distance? like I want my overall view distance to be around 5000km and my view distance while looking at the targeting pod at 12000km.

1: close the game and verify your installation via steam
2: if the issue is still there, check your read/write permissions of your documents folder, specially folders that are connected to arma

fringe salmon
#

ok

wise barn
#

3: if the permissions are all correct for the documents folder and subfolders, delete all files in ..documents\arma 3 and ..documents\arma 3 other profiles that end with .Arma3Profile, then restart the game

Been having an issue with FFV in modded vehicles (CUP and Legion Stable) specifically, the players just go into the rotors or just nowhere at all, they don't sit properly into the FFV seats and just dissappear, is there a way to fix this on a dedicated other than fresh install?

uncut trellis
#

refresh your animation cache

#

in user\arma 3 files somewhere

#

refresh as in delete and run the game so it remakes it

unborn cloak
#

game freezes/low fps; macos big sur, intel i5, 8gb ram, radeon pro 575 graphics

#

even when i turn the graphics all the way down and the draw distance to the lowest

#

why is it lagging/freezing so much??

#

also, i cant see/go to any other windows while in arma 3

#

for some reason

mental river
#

make sure your laptop is using the dedicated graphics card (your radeon pro 575 graphics, not the intel one)

unborn cloak
#

im not on a laptop @mental river

#

im on a 2017 27" imac

theres only the radeon pro

unless im missing something big

theyre above

well we cant really help with that

im probably not the only one on mac in this server

the mac version is pretty much obsolete

youre not being helpful, please leave

since server versions are far away

Im just telling you how it is

youre being rude about it

i know how it is

uncut trellis

A) I have not been rude.
B) You did not start your question yesterday with "I run Mac version of the game and it runs poorly"

which would have saved a lot of headscratching

but I'll leave you to it. Good luck.

@unborn cloak If you come here to get help. Don't tell people who are helping you to "shut up".
If you don't want help. Please leave.

hes simplu stating things that i know

@uncut trellis does refreshing the animation cache work for a server?

fringe salmon
#

need help

#

I've already been kicked off 2 official bohemia servers with no message other than "you've been kicked from the server" randomly

#

it's on the same 2 servers I've already been playing on for a few days now and it happens randomly and it just happened while I was preparing this cool operative

#

any way of knowing what it is or how to fix it?

#

I also keep losing connection every once in a while after a long playthrough, that happened since I changed my ticks per sec on steam because opening the server browser would make my router shit itself

fringe salmon
#

nvm, Just realized it was the official server that crashed, checked the server browser and now it's got zero players...

#

does this happen often?

tough escarp
#

@uncut trellis you were right, it worked, thank you

fringe salmon
#

everytime I open the map my FPS drop to 2 on this server after it crashed

#

can't give move orders if it's this slow

uncut trellis
#

That's a lot of stuff on there

fringe salmon
#

Well yeah it's warlords mode but it isn't meant to be 2 fps

#

i've noticed it goes back to normal when I zoom in to an specific area* so maybe it's some kind of bug someone did on purpose(?)

#

idk

forest ember
#

when you zoom in, you're no longer processing the other stuff on the map so it will go back to "normal"

fringe salmon
#

It didn't lag like that before, even with multiple marks from different players

#

also asked in server and other people were experiencing the same issue, had to wait for a server restart

#

then it fixed it

Howdy ya'll I am in need of some help. I have been playing Ravage Livonia by OpticCobra with a friend but when I try to boot it up solo with the recommended mods and contact dlc I get this message and crash. Any ideas what could be throwing me this error? I have verified my files in steam but it didn't help.

wise barn
#

you are missing a mod, or mods

#

could be CUP

dense lance
#

Hmm good point, they where not listed in the workshop description but are common enough that most would probably have it installed. Will tick those on and report back.

wise barn
#

not quite sure, but the sandbags could be in Terrains Core

dense lance
#

Hey hey it works now! Thank you sir

#

Gonna get greedy and another question. When my friend and I run ravage Livonia in multiplayer we respawn directly on top of our bodies when we die. Does anyone know how we might be able to change that?

wise barn
#

i'm not familiar with that missions, sorry

dense lance
#

Hmmm so it would see it is set to the spawn on body. Any idea what kind of spawning parameters are usually used on dayz style ops like this?

wise barn
#

no clue, sry

dense lance
#

You did me a solid linking that wiki article at least. I can try and fiddle with setting respawn markers around the map. Better than what we are dealing with currently.
