[fringe salmon]

RPT file above

[brave hawk]

looks like a mod issue, can't say much more with that

[fringe salmon]

as in the server will never be able to load a specific mod?

[brave hawk]

is that all of your RPT…?

[fringe salmon]

yeah i think ill double check

[fringe salmon]

Thats the latest, after having just swapped around order in command line

full thing, as far as it gets

[brave hawk]

either

15:17:56 Warning Message: Addon 'cpt_ire_factions' requires addon 'A3_Characters_F<?>' ← the interrogation mark
is the issue in the mod config

or

your server's network is ill-configured (ports, etc)

[fringe salmon]

is there anyway I could fix the mod config thing? i dont think its server ill configured as its had many-a scenario thrown on it and worked fine before

[brave hawk]

if the only difference is the mods, then yes, the mods are faulty
Try contacting the author perhaps

[fringe salmon]

thanks man, the author has managed to fix that stuff now

....however lol

now when i load in and hit respawn nothing happens lol

the brand new rpt

this are the in game errors

seems to do it when hosting off of my pc also

[dusk lake]

Having troubles with the Respawn function in eden editor loading onto my server

Steps are as follows:

1. Create PBO.
2. Add Respawn function
3. Launch PBO on server im hosting.
4. Server crashes on startup.
   Notes: The server works fine without the respawn on the PBO.

[grim tinsel]

how are you adding the respawn function?

[dusk lake]

Via the EDEN editor

upper right hand corner linking to a custom respawn point

[grim tinsel]

so how do you do it after you create the pbo

[grim tinsel]

also can you post a picture of what you mean with that?

[dusk lake]

Upper lefthand corner of the EDEN editor

Prefrences

Multiplayer

Set repspawn to Custom point

put down custom point

save PBO

Load PBO on server

Start Server

Server dies.

[grim tinsel]

does the rpt log say anything?

!rpt

[rustic eagle]

Arma RPT

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

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

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

[dusk lake]

"-: JSHK_CONTAM LOG MESSAGE: Multiplayer detected, enabled respawn handling"

@grim tinsel any suggestions ?

[potent spear]

So I had a computer made for me because I dont know much about them. I downloaded the game and since then i have had complete audio issues. In first person I cannot hear my weapon firing, i cannot hear vehicles, i hear enemy about 100 yards out but cannot tell which direction as its only in my left ear. In third person i can hear vehicles and such but the direction and depth is still so whacked out. So far nobody has heard of such an issue. Anything online is "no audio" and nothing even close to what im experiencing. Any ideas or have heard of this?

[uncut trellis]

you audio device might be set up for surround sound

[potent spear]

my headset works in other games with no problem. Does this happen automaticlly?

[uncut trellis]

I dunno. I use just simple stereo headset

[potent spear]

sucks, cant even play the game.

[uncut trellis]

you probably can set it to stereo somewhere

[potent spear]

i appreciate it. I have no clue. Everything seems normal but idk too much to start messing with things.

[dull hound]

Take this from someone who deals with a lot of different sound in/outs from doing a bit of music production on the side... Yeah audio stuff is voodoo.

I can create an entire 50 minute album with guitars, drums, bass, keys, vocals in my bedroom but can you easily switch headphones without reinstalling drivers and throwing your keyboard out the window? No. You cannot.

A good troubleshooting step: try each available audio output and restart

[wise barn]

the main issue is that those "fancy surround gaming bullshit" headphones use software supported artificial "sound improvements" that are basically nothing but crap. arma sound output is something more unique and does not play well with all this. either plain simple stereo mode, or DSP based 5.1 / 7.1 real surround sound. that's it....

[wise barn]

no idea what this has to do with what he asked...

[dull hound]

plenty, audio stuff can be tricky sometimes and often requires more than a simple answer. we'll have to know the exact steps that have been taken to (attempt) to remedy the problem

[wise barn]

yes, audio stuff can be tricky. but as by my last post the options here are very limited.

• arma hates certain USB headset manufacturers
• arma can not deal with most bluetooth based headsets in multplayer
• arma hates artificial surround bullshit and bollocks software based sound improvements

[potent spear]

HyperX Cloud Alpha headset.

[wise barn]

i knew 😉

no, not really

but this makes your issues more obvious

[potent spear]

is it my headset?

ill trash it right now

[wise barn]

your headset might be fine for other stuff, just not for arma

[potent spear]

not good enough?

[wise barn]

no. it's the artificial software crap that is running along the drivers that fucks your arma sound up. it works for other stuff just well

do you have an oldschool set of 3.5mm jack headphones?

can be 10,- stuff

you just need it for a test

[potent spear]

yea. some turtle beaches

just found them.

im assuming 3.5 means 3 stripes on the plug in

[wise barn]

unplug your hyperX, plugin your 3.5mm and then change your output device tio the 3.5mm

does yours have a mic?

or just phones?

[potent spear]

mic

okay did that

hold on didint change my output

[wise barn]

green is phones, red/pink is mic

[grim tinsel]

3.5 is the size/diameter

[potent spear]

well, i dont know how to check the diameter.

so idk. its a regular plug in tho

[wise barn]

all good. if it fits, it fits 😄

[potent spear]

loll

i appreciate the help.

[wise barn]

did you try yet?

[potent spear]

no, you lost me at change your output device to 3.5mm

because i only had an option of realtek or my monitor speakers

not my turtle beaches

[wise barn]

realtek is the onboard soundcard

use that

[potent spear]

ok

i uninstalled it when i lost hope and im reinstalling it now. itl be about 20 min

[wise barn]

@potent spear any news?

[lethal totem]

Hey, i'm googling for hours now and can't find any solution... I know arma3 doesn't have the best performance, but was still hoping to get it run alot better on my new pc... Got a i9 10850k, rtx3090, 32gb ddr4 4000 cl16 memory, game is installed on a m.2 ssd and my fps still drop below 20 on invade and annex... How is that possbile? Is there something obvious i'm missing here? changing graphic settings doesn't seem to effect the fps AT ALL. feels like the same performance on 1k and 12 viewdistance... A friend with pretty much the same setup has exactly the same low performance... tried every guide we could find already..

[wise barn]

use autodetection for the graphics settings.
those FPS drops can be, and most likely are, caused by the mission design and/or server setup

[lethal totem]

We did autodetect as our first try, ran exactly the same... It's a server which is been there forever and pretty much is always full (77jsoc). Since it's always full i can't believe it's the servers fault tbh

[brave hawk]

see https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Performance_Optimisation

i can't believe it's the servers fault
first mistake here! 😄

[lethal totem]

I mean i tried "Old Man".. one of the new(?) singleplayer things.. and this aswell ran pretty bad

[brave hawk]

and what about one unit in the editor alone?

[lethal totem]

you mean empty editor or arsenal?

[steady hawk]

Old Man is actually pretty heavy and scripted thing. As Lou suggests, you can test in Editor

[lethal totem]

both above 200fps

[wise barn]

see... mission design 😉

[lethal totem]

I just can't believe people play on below 20 fps for hours and come back every day... doesn't really make sense :D

[wise barn]

it does. arma is not about FPS.

[lethal totem]

it's a slideshow sometimes

[steady hawk]

It does. They just don't hate 20FPS

[lethal totem]

i mean... 15-20 fps is literally unplayable, even 40-60 feels super bad most of the time but i would't mind it at least in multiplayer

[steady hawk]

Literally playable, though

[wise barn]

i played arma 2 with 15-18 fps for a long time... ¯_(ツ)_/¯

i was just not allowed to fly helicopters 🤣

[lethal totem]

hmm... so.. only hope would be arma4 huh? :D

[steady hawk]

Or, forget about your FPS and enjoy 20 FPS

[wise barn]

and even if there will be an arma 4, your FPS will still go to hell if the mission is packed with heavy scripts

[lethal totem]

Dunno. It just doesnt make Sense i get the same Performance as With a 10 year old cpu

[wise barn]

to my understanding, 10y ago 3.6GHz where the same as today's 3.6GHz CPU speed

¯_(ツ)_/¯

fast CPU, fast RAM = moahr FPS

[lethal totem]

Could only go ~2% faster with a 10900k or switching to AMD, which probably would make a 2-5% difference either at max.

[wise barn]

or just OC your CPU

[quaint jewel]

No IPC improved alot

[lethal totem]

it's running at 4,9ghz

[wise barn]

speed is the same

performance not tho

[quaint jewel]

Depends on what you consider speed.
Frequency yes, speed of executing code no.
More instructions per clock cycle, less waiting for memory due to bigger caches

[brave hawk]

oh good to know that!

[uncut trellis]

I've found many gpu control panel enabled special tweaks and enhancers eat frames in Arma 3

If anything is enabled there it might be worthwhile to try disabling them

[jolly merlin]

I am having the strangest issue, something is automatically wrapping the code in my missions with the 'call' command.
I have never encountered this before and have no idea where to start looking tbh.

Example 1

[quaint jewel]

lol

See last 5 messages in #arma3_scripting

[jolly merlin]

thank you

[warm jasper]

everytime i try to launch

arma 3 it just crashes on addons

can someone help i keeps doing it agian

[wise barn]

what's the full error message?

[wise barn]

open the game, go to graphics settings and set display mode to fullscreen windowed

[uncut trellis]

your using some weird path there

what is it you are trying to do?

[golden loom]

Just trying to load a mission, i have maybe an ammo box from that mod and that's all

[loud hemlock]

Everyone on the arma 3 server spawns as the same loadout even though in editor people had diffrent loadouts selected

[grim tinsel]

are you using vanilla respawn?

[loud hemlock]

yeah

[grim tinsel]

you can disable the respawn on start

[loud hemlock]

no i mean like if someon e is selected an engineer

as the role

they dont choose there loadouts

they spawn with the same gear as who ever spawned first

[grim tinsel]

ah, sounds odd

[loud hemlock]

indeed

[near hollow]

can someone help with this error in the RPT it LOOKS vanilla but not sure

 6:59:57 Warning Message: No entry '.scope'.

 6:59:57 Warning Message: Error: creating weapon optic_Hamr_F with scope=private```

is that a Contact dlc optic?

[steady hawk]

Vanilla(base game, non-DLC) optic. Either your Mod is doing something bad or the game is corrupted

[left crescent]

Guys which servers have the best perfomance? I have around 30-80 fps on KOTH and >100 on RP servers. I dont really like rp, but RP servers seem to have way more fps. Are there any other conquest gamemods with decent servers?

[brave hawk]

that's… not #arma3_troubleshooting, but server seeking so #arma3_questions

[left crescent]

Sorry, didn't know where to ask

[brave hawk]

'tsok!

[flat blade]

I've seen this issue posted a few times this week.
Are you also using 3CB Factions? I will assume that you are based on the previous issues I've seen.

If reinstalling RHS AFRF and 3CB Factions doesn't work, then try replacing all 3CB vehicles in your mission with temporary vanilla replacements.
Save the mission - reopen and see if the error shows.
If the error is no longer showing then you should be good to change the vanilla vehicles back to 3CB Factions ones.
I hope that works out for you.

If you are not using 3CB Factions... Shame on me for assuming stuff!

[brave hawk]

or thank you for trying to help ^^ 😉

Hey everyone. I am trying to launch my server and I get these errors, which prevents me from selecting a slot, when I am on the server and it forces me back to the role-selection screen. Anyone knows what I can do to fix it? Thanks in advance

[brave hawk]

@copper raftany news?

[brave hawk]

that's a config issue, coming from a mod
which one, I can't know for you (as it might be a conflict between two)

[copper raft]

fixed its self thanks

no idea what was wrong

[brave hawk]

okido, kewl

[shy tusk]

Hmm okay fair enough. So what should I try in order to fix it? Reinstall mods on the server or something else?

[brave hawk]

remove half your mods
test
if it still does it, remove half your mods
etc.

until you locate it down to the responsible one(s)

[shy tusk]

I will try it, thanks

[copper raft]

[violet turtle]

Hey, when I'm trying to play with mods, everytime I try to load into a game (singleplayer or multiplayer), error about extension .dll not found pops out. I already contacted the mod's tech team, tried repairing the mod in the launcher, reinstalling the entire game, turning off antivirus and battleye, but even if the .dll is in the mod folder, the game just won't load it and it'll keep throwing that error at me. I have no idea what else may be causing the problem, since I don't use any other antivirus except for windows defender (which didn't even block the file or gave me any announcement about it being a possible malware) and even battleye didn't show any message about the .dll file being blocked. My last bet is the arma 3 somehow being unable to load the .dll file or something, so I landed here.

[wise barn]

@violet turtle
#arma3_troubleshooting message

[violet turtle]

I can give you a RTP file too

[wise barn]

unsub from ACE3, check if all files from ACE3 are gone (manually check the !Workshop folder), resubscribe

then check if maybe Battleye is blocking that DLL

[violet turtle]

No message from battleye about blocking anything

the .dll is in the folder

[grim tinsel]

👍

[wise barn]

@surreal tide
what's your question?

[violet turtle]

Any help to my problem?

[wise barn]

the solution is literally written in the message

[violet turtle]

my problem is about game not being able to find .dll file

[pine kite]

Thus your install is corrupt.

[wise barn]

oh, i'm sorry.......
i blindly responded thinking you are monky.

i told you my solutions already

can't think of more

[violet turtle]

Well, the .dll file is in the folder, everything seems okay, but arma just won't register the file

nothing is blocking the file

at least not battleye or antivirus

[violet turtle]

Welp, if nobody has idea what's wrong, is there a last solution to try and fix the problem, if all previous ways don't work?

[fringe salmon]

any idea why i cant change view? as of earlier today i cant go to third person at all

[wise barn]

difficulty settings.

either local or forced by the server you're on

[fringe salmon]

thank you that was it

[dull hound]

setting up an old logitech joystick, using the thumbhat to freelook. works fine for look left and right (it will return to center once I've stopped pressing) but look up and down stays in that position and does not return to center. anyone encountered this?

[near hollow]

Are you running it on a server if yes the .dll most likely is missing from the server

[violet turtle]

it doesn't work when I try to join a server or when I even try to run the editor singleplayer

[near hollow]

then its something on your end, have you tried removing it entirely and re downloading/repairing?

[olive hinge]

I have downloaded many sp scenarios from workshop (along with the required mods) but most of them can't be played (nothing happens when i click play button on the launcher). Any help?

P.S: Cross post due to no response.

people answer if they know

[olive hinge]

Got it. Should I delete one of the posts?

[uncut trellis]

yes

[olive hinge]

Ok

Done

and many more

[uncut trellis]

and you have all the required mods running?

do you have any extra mods running?

if yes, have you tried with just the required mods?

[olive hinge]

I have unloaded all the mods from launcher and then tried to start the scenarios. I thought selecting the scenarios will automatically load the required mods. Am I wrong?

I have the specific scenarios required mods, but didn't individually load them from my side.

[uncut trellis]

yes that is wrong

when game is running it does not load mods

mods have to be started on launch

[olive hinge]

So how do i know which mods to load in launcher for those scenarios?.

[uncut trellis]

possibly need to check the workshop pages

[olive hinge]

😬 that's a chore. But i guess no other way out.

[uncut trellis]

you can create a mod profile for each misson

[olive hinge]

I hope there is a how to for creating a mod profile. Never done that before.

[uncut trellis]

select mods in the mod list

save the selection in top right corner

[olive hinge]

Okk. Thanks man. U have been really helpful. 👍

bought arma on steam, not starting. on taskmanager "arma3launcher" shows up for half a second, then dissapearing. after i tried it 7 times, my pc got a blue screen. cannot refund because i need 2h gameplay. please consider helping me :)

[uncut trellis]

have you verified the game files in Steam?

[heady beacon]

how do you do that?

if it doesnt do it automaticly, no

[uncut trellis]

right click on the games name in library go to properties - local files - verify files

[heady beacon]

and that will help?

[heady beacon]

gotta try that tomorrow

[uncut trellis]

it could if your files are broken somehow

[heady beacon]

well

[pine kite]

You don't need 2 hours of gameplay to refund. You need less than 2 hours, and within a period of 2 weeks after purchase. If you played more then yes you can't. But seems like you can't have 2 hours if it's not working for you like this.

[heady beacon]

so the thing is that the launcher shows up for half of a sec on task manager but then vanishes

[heady beacon]

fun fact, it shows that i played the game for 13 mins

which means the game itself did actually work

but i just cant see it

not even on task manager

[pine kite]

Well, then you should have no issue refunding, if you really wish to.

Did you do the game install verification?

[heady beacon]

nope

!gettingstarted

[rustic eagle]

If you're new to playing Arma, its recommended to have a read of #info_help_tips and especially the getting started guide (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Getting_Started).
Those resources will provide you with a good way to learn the basics of playing Arma 3 in both single- and multiplayer.

[heady beacon]

I mean ofc carry me

[uncut trellis]

sorry no. but also the game does not really play like that

get started with the singleplayer to get hang of it

[heady beacon]

There’s this thing called boot camp right?

More like tutorial

[uncut trellis]

yes

[rain breach]

router does not alow server hosting, is there any way to fix it aside from buying a new router

[wise barn]

router does not alow server hosting
what makes you think that?

[rain breach]

i have been trying to host a sever for me and my mates and ive tried letting it through the firewall and port forwarding but still

[wise barn]

!localhost

[rustic eagle]

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 router’s status page in the settings to confirm. (If in doubt, ask your ISP, Websites like “whatismyip.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: “<your router model> + port forwarding”

[wise barn]

see the IPv4 part

[rain breach]

ok but idk how that will help?

sorry

[wise barn]

easy: no IPv4 (WAN), no game hosting on your PC

[rain breach]

is there a way to get ipv4

rather than ipv6

[wise barn]

did you even read the arma bot post?

[rain breach]

yes

[wise barn]

did you check your external address?

[rain breach]

just doing it now

ok done

ye i checked it

[pine kite]

Does the router show the same WAN address as whatsmyip.com?

[wise barn]

is it v4 or v6?
how did you check it?

[wise barn]

that website gives a false positive on ipv4

[rain breach]

i just looked it up

google

[wise barn]

explain please

[pine kite]

sure, but if the router agrees, then it shouln't be DSLlite or such.

[rain breach]

i looked up "what is my external ip adress"

[wise barn]

nope...

check your routers status page

[rain breach]

how do i do that

sorry im not good w this stuff

[wise barn]

idk... check the router's manual

[rain breach]

ah ok

[pine kite]

There is usually a label on the router with how to enter it's configuration webpage, password etc. Alternatively you can enter the default gateway IP address into your browser. But still you would need to know the username and password for it. which should be on that same label.

[rain breach]

oh ok

i think i get it

where do i go from there?

[pine kite]

That's the tricky bit. We don't know. All routers have their own way of formatting the user interface. Just search for WAN address.

[rain breach]

what do i do with that?

[wise barn]

if it is not in IPv4 format, you'Re out of luck

even a new router wouldn't help you then

[rain breach]

ah shit

so basically im fucked

[wise barn]

does your address look like this?
2001:0ab8:85a2:0000:0000:8a3e:0370:7334
(example)

don't post it

just yes or no

https://www.avg.com/en/signal/ipv4-vs-ipv6#topic-3

[rain breach]

no

it doesent

[wise barn]

does it start with 192....?

[rain breach]

yes?

[wise barn]

that's your internal stuff

not your external

[rain breach]

it says on the router

[wise barn]

still, that's your internal LAN stuff

you need the external address

[rain breach]

im so confused

[wise barn]

what router model do you have?

[rain breach]

could i hop in a call w u and walk me through it?

fritzbox

[wise barn]

what fritzbox? there are several?

are you german btw?

[rain breach]

no

[wise barn]

nvm then

what fritzbox? there are several?

[rain breach]

7530 ch

thats which one

[wise barn]

gimme a sec

[rain breach]

ok

u got it?

[wise barn]

not quite

go to "internet" > "online monitor"

check if you see something related to IPv4/6

[rain breach]

is that in settings?

[wise barn]

btw, i don't have a fritzbox. that's a random image from google

[rain breach]

ok

one sec

just pulling it up on my pc

im having trouble logging in gimme a min

k

its ipv4

[wise barn]

where and which ports did you forward?

[rain breach]

wait what?

[wise barn]

i have been trying to host a sever for me and my mates and ive tried letting it through the firewall and port forwarding but still

your message

[rain breach]

o its just when i press start on the server it says setting up port forwarding

[wise barn]

lol... nope 😄

you have to do that manually on your router

[rain breach]

oh ok

as i said im shit at this stuff

so since its ipv4 what now?

[wise barn]

you have to open ports 2302-2306 UDP manually on your fritzbox. i bet there are tutorials for your model on the internet

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Dedicated_Server#Port_Forwarding

[rain breach]

oh ok

is that it?

[wise barn]

mayhaps

you might also add a rule to your firewall on the router as well as your PC

[rain breach]

will the port forwarding affect anything else other than arma

[wise barn]

every port that you open poses some kind of a risk to your network... always. but since you are not a big bank or company, the risk can be taken

[rain breach]

ah ok

[umbral sail]

Can someone assist me

[wise barn]

you seem to be missing CBA

[umbral sail]

Right

I uninstalled the game a while ago and just recently installed it

How do i get cba back?

[wise barn]

you subscribe to it on the workshop

[umbral sail]

Oh so it’s just a mod?

Bro sorry💀

[wise barn]

yes

https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=450814997

[umbral sail]

What about the other thing saying it closed unusually

[wise barn]

most likely caused by the CBA error

[umbral sail]

Okay thank you lmfao💀I thought I messed up uninstalling

[rain breach]

@wise barn is there a very large risk when it comes to prot forwardin?

[wise barn]

no

[rain breach]

is there a risk at all

[wise barn]

ofc. the same risk as just simply turning on your PC and checking mails

but it's save for server hosting

you got a firewall on your router, as well as in windows

[rain breach]

it says port to device

do i do 2302 and 2303

[wise barn]

you do all from 2302 to 2306

[rain breach]

ok thanks man

could you help me test it?

or could someone?

[wise barn]

i'm not available for testing. sorry

[rain breach]

ok

dw man

should i restart my pc or sm to apply it or will it just find it now

[wise barn]

you don't have to restart you PC. it might take some time until your server/game name is broadcasted to steam/server browser

[rain breach]

do i need to have upnp on or no?

[wise barn]

not sure if UPNP even works

[rain breach]

ok😂

[pine kite]

Make sure the port forwarding is UDP ports 2302 to 2306. Port forwarding in Fritzbox is under Internet/Permit access.

I wouldn't use UPNP. Certainly not if you are already going to port forward as it might conflict. If you are scared that port forwarding is a security risk. Then letting any unknown program (you might accidentally download and execute on your computer) open the door wide open for hackers with UPnP certainly is a risk.

[quaint jewel]

"bad module error" text specifically is a windows bug.
If his game is crashing, he should make a ticket on feedback tracker see https://feedback.bistudio.com/w/ft_a3_howto/gamecrash/

[ionic geode]

for some reason when anyone goes near a vehicle the server lags / frames drop, i see any issues on the rpt file, as anyone experienced this before?

[uncut trellis]

possibly some script in the mission that bugs

[cinder bolt]

Iv deleted the folder but somehow its still giving me this message

[alpine reef]

So my Arma settings just reset. I played earlier today and everything was fine. I made backups of the Arma 3 and Arma 3 - Other Profiles folders from Documents, as well as the userconfig folder from the games directory. However even when I paste those into their respective directories the game behaves as if I was launching it for the first time and the keybinds are the "factory settings".

[heady beacon]

@uncut trellis so i got arma 3 running, but the "wrong" way.

i just went to local files

and "locate"

i opened arma there

now i got the other problem

how do i use iron sights?

like they sayd something like "sec mouse button"

whats that?

anyone knows?

is it the middle wheel pressed down

[alpine reef]

Aim down sights is right click by default.

[heady beacon]

no

i said use iron sights

and it said in hints sec mouse button

and a better question, where do i change firemodes?

like i normally shoot that scar like gun semi, but suddenly it started to shoot auto and then i got the cutscene

[uncut trellis]

secondary mouse button is usually right mouse button

as primary is left one

firemodes change with F

did you run the bootcamp?

[heady beacon]

yes

no

idk

was it that no map thing

that was so grey?

[uncut trellis]

yeh thats the one

[heady beacon]

bc i started the campaign

yes i did

[heady beacon]

but i dont understand why i can only launch arma by going into files and launching it from there

like

what do i do to make arma launch from steam

also i got this thing, when i started it said that i am using mods, i dont even know how to add them tho

do dlcs count as mods?

[uncut trellis]

what said you are using mods?

and if your windows and steam installs are alrigth then you hit play in steam, that start the launcher and there you hit play to start the game

[heady beacon]

when i launched the bootcamp

[uncut trellis]

that is quite odd

[heady beacon]

another question

do u like playing multi more then single?

[uncut trellis]

I dont have preference really. I enjoy both

[heady beacon]

so the thing about that is, i launched the game instantly, not the launcher

[heady beacon]

ok, do other ppl kill u in multi

yes right?

[uncut trellis]

depends what kind of game mode you play

[heady beacon]

oh btw, i got the marksman dlc, are there ghillie suits?

[uncut trellis]

there are coop gamemodes where players play against AI

yes

but in MP it depends on the mission/gamemode what gear you can use

[heady beacon]

i watched that one video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnU1HlBLPnU, this guy is like permanently talking bad about arma

is it really like that, that bots see u from 10km and kill u in one shot

or not

[quaint jewel]

is it really like that, that bots see u from 10km and kill u in one shot
if you are in a open flat desert.. then maybe 2 kilometers tops

if its a sunny fogless day

and they have binoculars or you shoot at them

they can kill you in one shot if you're neither wearing vest or helmet and they get a lucky hit

[heady beacon]

do i have helis without buying helicopter dlc?

[quaint jewel]

yes

the DLCs are just extras, you generally don't need them

Some gamemodes give you advantages if you have them, others never touch them at all

[grim tinsel]

Welcome to Armed Assault 3

someone ban this man

also why is that video super super quiet

[quaint jewel]

He doesn't even know the name of the game

[heady beacon]

right

ArmA

[grim tinsel]

!namedebate

[rustic eagle]

The correct name is Arma 3. See: https://www.bohemia.net/blog/arma-2-the-name-tale

[heady beacon]

Armed Assault

makes sence

[grim tinsel]

its wrong tho

But ye as a general guideline, I recommend not talking actual info from meme-y reviews like that

[heady beacon]

i was just making sure

like i heard about "dark souls 3"

maybe this game was same

actually, it has something in common with call of duty

the games just a bit more realistic

and has not so iconic figures like cpt price and soap

[quaint jewel]

But is wrong :u

Some would call Miller a iconic figure

[heady beacon]

before i forget i must flex: my graphics look a bit better since i have an rtx 3070 wiith 32gb of ram

[heady beacon]

whos that

[quaint jewel]

A character in the campaign

[heady beacon]

oh

i am not that far in the campaign actually

[uncut trellis]

characters are iconic for people who play the games

I got no idea about those names you mentioned

its matter of perspective

[heady beacon]

i am going into settings>options>controlls every second just to see that i have 0 braincells and cant remeber how to open the gps

can i make the gps bigger btw?

[quaint jewel]

yeah

[heady beacon]

like to see more

how?

[quaint jewel]

options->gameplay I think, theres UI layout

[heady beacon]

on standart, theres:

GPS_______ none

GPS (TOGGLE)_____RIGHT STRG+[forgot whta]

whats the diffrence between these

[quaint jewel]

one you need to hold the key to show the GPS, the other you just press it once and it switches between on/off (toggle)

[alpine reef]

Anyone got any ideas on how I could restore my profile?

[heady beacon]

Ok, but can I make it zoom out?

[quaint jewel]

maybe the backup files were corrupted?

[quaint jewel]

not manually, its based on your movement speed

[alpine reef]

I also tried another backup of those folders I made in January, that also doesnt work.

So either that one is also corrupted or it is another issue.

[quaint jewel]

u sure you are replacing the correct files for the correct profile?

[alpine reef]

Those are the ones I am replacing. As well as the userconfig folder in the game directory.

[quaint jewel]

there is nothing in userconfig

or shouldn't be since it was disabled by default a few years ago

try only specifically replacing your one profile

[alpine reef]

The cba config is in there

[quaint jewel]

to make sure its really the correct one, instead of just copying all folders

[quaint jewel]

Its not, unless you play singleplayer with filePatching on

[alpine reef]

Maybe I had file patching on at some point. 🤔

[alpine reef]

Ill try that now.

[quaint jewel]

at best specifically the .vars.Arma3Profile and .Arma3Profile files

and when it again resets, you should see at their size that the files get force reset by Arma

[alpine reef]

The file sizes dont change at all, but I still have the standard settings.

[quaint jewel]

sounds like wrong file

change setting ingame and save

and see that your files changedate is updated

[alpine reef]

Didnt change.

[quaint jewel]

wrong file then

[alpine reef]

That suprises me though since I literally replace the .vars files in the Arma 3 - Other Profiles folder in my Documents .

[quaint jewel]

check all profiles and find the file that actually changed

[alpine reef]

Weirdly enough the files marked in blue were changed when I played earlier today, the ones marked in red are the backup files I pasted before. So the file location was fine earlier.

I have one other profile but that didnt change either.

[quaint jewel]

Weirdly enough the files marked in blue were changed when I played earlier today
All directories at the exact same time? Arma doesn't do that. I doubt that it was Arma which actually touched these

[alpine reef]

Okay that mustve been something else then.

I still could not locate the folder that Arma gets the profile from when I am launching rn.

[quaint jewel]

My Documents/Arma 3 for the main profile, and the others in Other Profiles

[alpine reef]

Dont know if it has anything to do/gives us any clue on what is going on, but my game crashes when I try to change the User skin, voice, or anyhting like that.

[quaint jewel]

there is no other place unless you launch with custom -profiles start parameter and give a custom profile directory

[quaint jewel]

did you already report it on feedback tracker?

[alpine reef]

No

My priority is to fix my profile rn. If the bug persists Ill report it.

[alpine reef]

D:[Name of my account]\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\XDrake

Thats the folder I was looking at the whole time.

Its the one nothing changes in.

[quaint jewel]

so any -profiles start parameter maybe?

[alpine reef]

I am using Arma 3 Sync as you can see. Those are my params. Other than that I am using profiling branch if that is useful to know.

I launched the game with the same settings earlier today when everything was still working. 🤔

[quaint jewel]

[alpine reef]

My Documents folder is on D: not on C:. Do you think that could be an issue?

However that is how I had it for ages now.

[quaint jewel]

shouldn't

unless there is suddenly a my documents folder also on C 😄

I have an idea

change security options... no that won't work :U

[alpine reef]

Thats what I initially thought what the issue was.

[quaint jewel]

Ah

ProcessExplorer and see what files Arma process has open

[alpine reef]

Since I reset my Windows yesterday I am actually having issues with security settings on the D: drive.

[quaint jewel]

Idea was to disable read permission on the file

Arma will throw error at startup and tell you if its using that file

[alpine reef]

For example 7zip cant extract .zip files except I launch it in admin mode.

[quaint jewel]

but that way you won't find out where the profile is if it uses a different one

[alpine reef]

Maybe Arma which is on the G: drive cant read/write on D: since I reset my Windows and thats an issue?

[quaint jewel]

it would log error in RPT

about profiles problems

[alpine reef]

I think I have no logs enabled. Dont ask why. 😅

[quaint jewel]

why?

:U

Well it uses up SSD write cycles so.. That'd be a valid reason

[alpine reef]

I think I followed some guide on better performance at some point, dont really remember though.

[quaint jewel]

RPT logging was made async in 2.02 or earlier, since then it has basically no performance impact anymore

[alpine reef]

So would enabling the logs, changing some settings and then looking at the .rpt give us some insight on the issue at hand?

[quaint jewel]

probably

[alpine reef]

Alright Ill do that.

So there is an issue with the Documents folder.

[quaint jewel]

lol apparently

23:08:12 MovesType CfgMovesMaleSdr load time 1337.0 ms
nice, keep that for tomorrow 😄

[alpine reef]

lul

[alpine reef]

wilco

[quaint jewel]

-checkSignatures btw you probably want to get rid of that unless you intentionally want your Arma to start slow every time

[alpine reef]

Alright.

Not sure how to go about the issue with my Documents folder though.

[quaint jewel]

run Arma as Admin? ^^

I have not seen that before as far as I remember

[alpine reef]

Good point, ill try that.

The isse still persists.

Did I just find the .vars files that my game uses rn?

[quaint jewel]

[alpine reef]

I obviously have no idea, but maybe the game is using the game install directory since it cant access my documents folder?

[quaint jewel]

sounds like something arma would do ye

[alpine reef]

Trying to fix my D: drive now since thats the root cause.

[north hull]

Just recently upgraded my CPU to a 5950x and now when I have Hyper threading enabled ether in game or on my CPU I have this weird texture flashing. I have tried turning off PBO and Rebar but still get the flashing. Only turning off hyper threading fixes it. Any ideas? https://youtu.be/3yPyy-MOyqQ

[wise barn]

Hyper threading enabled
in the launcher?

[north hull]

yes

[maiden grove]

I seem to have an infinite loading screen on my server

https://i.imgur.com/bdZ6hWF.png

this is all i can gather from the rpt file

any ideas on how to fix?

[wise barn]

don't. has no practical use

just leave the settings as they where on default

[north hull]

I thought dedmen was moving some processes around to give it a meaningful purpose. Like logging and such.

[maiden grove]

ive tried retransferring the modpack to the server again, to no avail. Still basically getting the same stuff from the rpt file

I have .rpt file full of this "unable to save config variable to:" spam: https://pastebin.pl/view/2e4b49d3 . how can I get rid of that?

idk

[quaint jewel]

You are probably saving config type values in profileNamespace, don't do that

[fathom canopy]

Im not doing that atm, tried with new mission

[quaint jewel]

log looks like you're doing that

or did that in the past and didn't delete your entries from profileNamespace

[fathom canopy]

was thinking that too. guess I'll have to delete the user variables file

yep deleting the file worked

thx

🙂

[fringe salmon]

i cant export Missions

[uncut trellis]

please explain what that means

[chilly blaze]

Not sure what Arma 3 is playing at here. Is this normal on Altis Wasteland with a handful of mods? 3800x, 1070, 64 gb ram

[uncut trellis]

in multiplayer, yes

server performance affects your fps a lot

[heady beacon]

@uncut trellis i want to join a multi server but it says i need battleeye

whats that

and how do i get that

[uncut trellis]

its the anti cheat system. it starts with the game by default when launcher is used

but you should be able to add it as launch parameter too.

[heady beacon]

well since i cant launch the launcher, am i fucked up?

[uncut trellis]

for future, please dont ping me. if you got questions this is public channel to ask those. no need to specifically get me to answer

[heady beacon]

yes

ok

[uncut trellis]

and refer to my second answer

[heady beacon]

oops found it in the game files

now i installed battleye

[uncut trellis]

you will also need to make a shortcut and add the battleeye startup parameter

there is a wiki page about those

[heady beacon]

how do i spawn a vehicle

like theres this green thing

but what do i do to call it out

[uncut trellis]

spawn vehicle where?

in editor?

in game?

[heady beacon]

i already understood

[heady beacon]

i have another question, how to heal

also how do i enable 3rd person view, to admire my ghillie suit

and lastly, how do i get a ghillie suit

[uncut trellis]

I cant answer at the moment. And I told you to not ping me with this stuff

[heady beacon]

i had to kill a recruit of mine to get one

[heady beacon]

wait i pinged u?

where

[uncut trellis]

replies ping too

[heady beacon]

does this ping?

ok

i wont do that then

[uncut trellis]

only if you actually reply to something

then its fine, not to start new questions 😛

[heady beacon]

but

can u answer them quick

just the keybinds

everything else i will figure out myself

[fallen vine]

I'm having an issue, I've been hosting a dedicated server using TADST and for some reason nobody can connect, the server just doesn't pop up even if I give them the server's IP address.

I think I'm just gonna start from scratch and make the server all over again.

[pine kite]

If you reply, click on the "@ On" at the right of the "Answer to" bar. That disables the pin response where it becomes "@ Off"

[pine kite]

Did you port forward the UDP ports 2302-2306 to your Arma 3 server computer in your router? If not, then that is why. The router blocks all incoming traffic by default, so also your friends trying to log in.

!localhost

[rustic eagle]

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 router’s status page in the settings to confirm. (If in doubt, ask your ISP, Websites like “whatismyip.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: “<your router model> + port forwarding”

[true stone]

Okay I'm going to go insane with this issue, I'm unable to open the debug console in 3den. Here's what I've done to (attempt) to fix it:

• Restart the Game
• Restart my PC
• Make sure the bind is defaulted (it is)
• Try accessing it though the tools menu instead (didn't work still)
• Tried merging the mission into a new file (didn't seem to change anything)
• Tried verifying game files
• Tried reinstalling the game
• Tried opening it on a different mission file on a different map with a different modlist

Nothing I've done so far has worked

I really don't have any idea what to try next, I did google it, but I couldn't find anything similar

[north hull]

Did you enable it in General>States>Debug?

[true stone]

Yup

[north hull]

sorry might have miss understood do you mean open it in the editor or while playing the mission?

[true stone]

In editor

[north hull]

ahh ok is it not listed under tools?

[true stone]

It is, but when I click it nothing happens

[north hull]

Yeah dont know sorry.

[fiery lichen]

status access violation fix, ive verified, reinstalled, and put in a new ememory allocator, plus a different launch command code

please help

[ionic geode]

Has anyone had issues with exad causing players to lag / drop flames everytime they come near a vehicle?

[left wolf]

@true stone
I've had a mod block debug and config before.
1st load up in vanilla / no mods and see if debug comes back.
If it does, then one of your mods might be the culprit.
To whittle down a suspect mod, do the 1/2 reduction of mods sequence until you find the problem mod.
(The mod that blocked mine was a french author's items mod, name I don't have offhand.)

[fallen vine]

I only ported to 2305

2302-2305, I didn't port to 2306

[wise barn]

you need all listed ports

2306 is the steam port iirc

[fallen vine]

My TADST tells me to do this:

2302

2303

2304 (Steam port)

2305 (VON)

[wise barn]

sorry, 2306 is BE port

[fallen vine]

I'll open up a 2306 port and see if that fixes anything

but it's strange how I've been playing without 2306 opened all along and I've never had this issue until now.

[wise barn]

TADST is outdated, use this
https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/224359-foxs-arma-server-tool-extended-rewrite-faster/

[fallen vine]

Do I install it the same way I do TADST?

(insert it into server file with mpmissions)

[wise barn]

similar. read the documentation

https://github.com/Foxlider/FASTER/wiki

[fallen vine]

I opened 2306 but it still doesn't work.

[wise barn]

did it ever work before?

[fallen vine]

Yes, for over a week.

Then people started coming to me and telling me that they couldn't connect, the server would never appear.

No one can connect now, and then for one day they could, and then for some reason all my devices (headset, keyboard, and mouse) got disconnected and all my arma tabs (including the server) crashed.

Since then the problem has persisted.

Even after I've restarted the server from scratch and port forwarded all over again, even deleting my UPNP ports, nobody can connect.

It's strange, and it's frustrating, we were having fun.

The only person who can connect is me, and that's only if I put in the localhost IP (127.0.0.1)

I think that might just be the problem

It's IP address is the localhost IP, when it should be my ipv4

But I don't know how to change that.

[chilly blaze]

I'm currently the only one in the server, anything I can do to help boost performance? I thought it was odd that it's not using my entire cpu and gpu. Ill have to check what cores it's loading up when I get home from work

I'm on a 1440p monitor and everything is set to high/medium, but changing graphics settings don't seem to make much of a difference

[sudden path]

Hello, I need help. When I start the game all I see is a black screen.

[steady hawk]

Well so... what is the situation? Did you got any...

• Error log
• Loaded Mods
• whatever whatever

[sudden path]

I have loaded mods. But if I desable them it still do the balck screen

I'm playing Arma for a few weeks now, I never had this bug beffore.

[steady hawk]

Error log?

[sudden path]

Wdym?

[steady hawk]

Did you get any of error messages?

[sudden path]

I just have a black screen.

I restarted my computer, and I don't have the problem. Hope it won't happen again.

Thanks Polpox.

have i put a disallowed scope in my arsenal or something?

[pine kite]

Looks like a bad mod, or typo in mission script if you didn't play make the mod yourself.

[near hollow]

think i fixed it i searched for hamr in the mission.sqm and removed the entry

must of used a hidden scope of some kind

[heady beacon]

guyz i have a problem

how do i enable this thing

i kinda started pressing random buttons to find the advanced heal thing

but then i couldnt get this back

[steady hawk]

Enable what?

[pine kite]

Select different grenade? Or throw them? Or something else in that image?

If you don't see that overlay, then you disabled personal state stats in difficulty options or it was disabled through mission/server settings.

I meant the darker grey overlay, not the bright white clock and curvy arrow.

[grim tinsel]

what are you talking about?

[fringe salmon]

I am currently making jet another Mission for my Squad and i wanted to test it on our Server because the Server doesn´t belong to me i was exporting the Mission and sending it to the owner. But when i click the export to Multiplayer Button it doesn´t create it.

are you sure you are looking into right folder?

[fringe salmon]

yeah im sure because it is my 3rd Mission and i dont think the export Folder changed

[heady beacon]

that thing @grim tinsel

[grim tinsel]

that explains absolutely nothing

[heady beacon]

i dont have it anymore

look at top right

then look at the pic

above

somethings missing in my game

how do i get that thing back?

[steady hawk]

Your last picture seems completely fine. It seems no problem at all

But let me guess... you need to bring back that top-right HUD element right?

[heady beacon]

exactly

and also this: after leaving a vehicle, ur weapon is "disabled" until u aim

which button does that?

or is there even one?

[steady hawk]

Your weapon is just lowered I guess

Also I'm not aware that there's a button to hide that HUD element. Most likely in the difficulties settings or a Mod

[heady beacon]

yo thanks

[cursive stratus]

session lost file fix?

[pine kite]

Please explain that last. Seems like 4 random words connected together.

[grim tinsel]

[green olive]

Hey

What could be the issue

I'm getting "no message received" but the server thinks everything is fine

Ie clients just all disconnect but the server shows nothing in logs about that

We had that 3 times in a row, and now on the fourth one the server did actually crash

[chrome plinth]

can i discuss about problems with mods i dont know where to go for this

[steady hawk]

Better to write it beforehand

Don't ask to ask, just ask.

[chrome plinth]

i cant use ace at all even its the only mod loaded with its dependencies

[maiden grove]

no, no sounds at all

thought maybe it could be just me, fucked up mods or smth. But my friend cant join either

[grim tinsel]

make sure you have the actual ace loaded

[chrome plinth]

yes it is error is "only" when ace is loaded

[odd flint]

guys help me.

and it lags hard like if it was a bass

[maiden grove]

here is the RPT File

if anyone can figure out why the mission has an infinite loading screen

i see a bunch of warnings and errors with the specwar7 mod

and also some loop related to CBA

[fringe salmon]

my pbo manager is stuck

[pine kite]

For the fun of it I installed it (pbom_inst_1.4_beta(x64).msi) and opened a PBO mission file like any other. Just double click. Opened without issues. Must be your particular PBO you are trying to load. As I wrote elsewhere (please don't cross-post, it's against the #rules ) your file is likely corrupt.

Or if you installed the 32-bit version, the pbo may be larger than it can handle.

@fringe salmon ^

[fringe salmon]

hi

[fringe salmon]

cross post what?

[pine kite]

Posting about the same issue in #arma3_troubleshooting and #arma3_questions

Doing that in multiple places makes a confusing discussion.

[chrome plinth]

i still need some help on this

[pine kite]

What Ace did you load? Where did you get it from?

[fringe salmon]

sorry for that

[green olive]

How should I go about troubleshooting this?

[pine kite]

How about starting to explain what you did that resulted in the "no message received". Your description is rather vague. post specifics, or at least a screenshot of where this shows up.

[uncut trellis]

if its rented server could be worthwhile to ask the hoster too if they can shed any light on what happens

[chrome plinth]

Ace from steam

[tacit badge]

i have a problem that i can't rly find a written solution to, where can i look for human help (as in not just reading a post, but getting replies) regarding a corrupt compact flash card?

i know this is not arma3 related, but i hope to find someone who knows where i could get help

[versed niche]

I have a very strange problem: On some missions in multiplayer, sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes immediately, I get low framerates while everyone else doesn't have that problem. My framerates get to single-digit numbers. If I press ESC key then, I still see the game running (it's MP after all), but the frame rate skyrockets, like in the upper 40 fps (which is what I usually have in MP). Once the slowdown occured, even restarting the game doesn't help.... anyone had a similar problem ?

(And yeah, modded game, ACE among others)

[chrome plinth]

my ace still broken with this error

cant find file z on my pc

[pine kite]

If I search for Ace on the workshop I get a bunch of Ace's on the first page by different people. So again, which Ace did you subscribe to? Links please!

[chrome plinth]

the ace that ive always ran for 3 years

@pine kite

[green olive]

I can't seem to unfold weapons when using a user action 2 set to 2xY

but if I change it to the default leftctrl+c it does unfold, am I missing something crucial here? RHS of course

Is this just "RHS sucks"?

yeah seems to be, if I remove the double tap and just use single press it works

[green olive]

I'm getting a lot of
Ref to nonnetwork object 87635e00# 668967: <no shape>
In the server log, how can I figure out what causes it?

[pine kite]

Ok, seems the right one. We have to be sure and I don't know how long you have been using it. Try repairing it through the launcher if you have it as the single used mod. If there are more mods applied check if it is one that changes something with a microdagr. I personally never use ACE so I am not familiar with common errors with it.

[ivory locust]

thats the only reason i removed the spaces

[cedar crown]

Hey guys. I'm having a problem with my TFRP pedals (plugged in the PC via the TWCS throttle) from Thrustmaster. I don't really use the pedals for flight in ArmA, but I found a good use for them with leaning for infantry and gas/brakes for ground vehicles.

My problem is: I use the toe brakes for both, and the game only registers the latter 50% of the axis. Any idea what it might be caused by?

Hello, I'm trying to upload a private modpack for friends on the workshop, and whenever I try to upload it, it says "error code 2"

I don't believe it has to do with file size (33.5gb)

[quaint jewel]

You cannot upload other peoples content to the workshop without their permission, did you keep that in mind?

[wise barn]

it being 33.5gb, i doubt that

[lyric beacon]

yes

[pine kite]

Just make a collection list of mods, and make your own mod if you have to make specific changes to existing mods as dependancies. Saves you in uploading too if they are already on Steam.

[regal eagle]

I have got a new router and when i try to setup a server i get in but i cant invite anyone/no one can join. I can join other servers

could the new router be the problem?

I had troubles before but it fixed itself but now its the same

[lyric beacon]

Yeah but I got a pretty sizeable number of mods compiled, so I'd rather put them all in one modpack rather than having my friends download and load 15 separate mods

But that works if I have no real other choice, i amy try once more and give up after that

[regal eagle]

I must have the same problem as before because i get no error from port forwarding

[coral otter]

Like what mod did you compiled in one ?

[lyric beacon]

well i was thinking of compiling a few different mods into one larger modpack, and share it with my friends

[regal eagle]

anyone?

[lyric beacon]

im gonna guess your router needs to have port forwarding set up or so?

[regal eagle]

i dont get a error for it

[lyric beacon]

you should check your router settings and maybe see if upnp is enabled or not, honestly not sure, but thats the first thing that comes to mind

[regal eagle]

its suppose to say if port forwarding does not work

ill try

[lyric beacon]

ah shit, ive never had a port forward issue so i wouldnt know, but its def gonna be a router thing

maybe you can look up a tutorial on yt

[pine kite]

Yes, you need to open ports UDP 2302- 2306 to the server IPv4 address. When you acces sites or servers on the internet the data can go out. But unsollicited traffic from the internet to you will be ignored by default.

[pine kite]

It's simply not allowed to reupload other's work without permission.

[pine kite]

What do you consider that port forwarding entails exactly? Just setting the checkmark when you start the server? Answer: there is more to it. UPnP is not garuanteed to work without checking if it is enabled in the router. So you might as well port forward manually in the router config.

[regal eagle]

now i just need to get into the router :/

[pine kite]

Ok that looks ok. Except that it's best not to do UPnP and manual portforwarding at the same time. If the top image doesn't work reliable, do the bottom one by manual portforwarding.

[regal eagle]

how do i do manual portforwarding

[pine kite]

You already did in the bottom image

Except I can't vouch for what IPaddress you blotched out. There is no reason to do so because noone on the internet can use that IP address from the internet to hack that.

[regal eagle]

What

[pine kite]

Don't tell me you are blind and not see what you posted yourself in minute 38 of the hour.

(I guess you are in a round-number timezone)

[regal eagle]

Then im blind

[pine kite]

This!

[regal eagle]

Yeah, but how do i manual portforward with this information

[pine kite]

At least it looks like portforwarding the correct way manually.

I don't know in what menu you did that. Might have been a different kind of port opening. There exists also something like port triggering. (not what you need)

[pine kite]

Did you make this screenshot yourself? Or just plucked it from the internet somewhere?

[regal eagle]

myself

[pine kite]

Then turn off the top image switch, see if it works. Do you know how to find the public IPv4 address of your router? If you do, replace it in this url: http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamApps/GetServersAtAddress/v0001?addr=YOUR.PUBLIC.IPv4.ADDRESS Open that in a browser when the server has started up. It should show details about your server if Steam detects it.

If it doesn't work, then make sure that blotched out IP address is correct.

And the firewall on the server operating system.

[sonic magnet]

Hello, I have a problem and it is that I am globally banned, I entered the game and when I want to join a server I cannot, I do not know the reason why it happened, lately I have been playing with some friends and in fact the last time I had played was on Tuesday July 27 and well, I do not understand the reason for my ban, I do not like to play in a toxic way although I admit that I once had that behavior, but not enough for them to vote an expulsion or something related, it would be great Help me answer, I already sent my clarification to BattlEye but I wanted to know if you can help me here, thank you very much

[quaint jewel]

If it really is a battleye ban, only they can help you

[spiral bone]

Hi,i have this problem when i launch my arma 3 it stopped responding and then just crashed with this error message,if someone can help to solve this problem it would be appreciated

[sonic magnet]

When I try to connect to the usual server, I get BattleEye: Admin Ban (wlbspam) but as far as I know I have not spammed

[grim tinsel]

contact dwarden with that ban

[grim tinsel]

create an ft crash report please

[sonic magnet]

Like DM?

[spiral bone]

this?

[grim tinsel]

yes

[sonic magnet]

Thank you very much

[grim tinsel]

there's a wiki page on the feedback tracker for crash reports

[rustic eagle]

Please use the official Feedback Tracker to report bugs and suggestions.

[quaint jewel]

thats a manual ban not a BE one

[quaint jewel]

I'll have forgotten about that on monday

[sonic magnet]

Oh, I guess I'll contact Dwarden, or is there a way to fix it?

[quaint jewel]

dwarden

but these bans are manual

So false positive rate is usually zero

[sonic magnet]

Thank you very much

[loud hemlock]
