does the text file on your launcher say anything useful?
Hey guys, so I was using PolPox's mod doing some animations and such, Arma 3 ran fine, then I was asked to join a server. I joined. Had an error pop up saying Polpox can't be used for multi-player. So I enter the server it glitches here and there, I disconnect and remove the polpox mods from my mod list. Join in again, but now Arma 3 says I'm a new player, my UI went from black and green to black and orange, in the server the error "Illegal copies will degenerate" will appear in the text box area, and my ACE arsenal reset and it's empty, UI for ace is also black and orange. Any help? Please?
started my launcher
it shutdown, gave me and error and a log file
and now it works fine

@steady hawk
Got any help for me?
I'd try a complete reinstall. As in, uninstall the game, delete ANY files that remain, delete the profiles (can't be too safe?), then unsubscribe all mods in the Workshop, install game again, see if issue persists.
IDK, will just change the profile solve it?
Hi!
I can't spawn my own compositions in Eden Editor. Who can help?
What did you do? What is the situations?
I take my composition from menu but cant spawn it
I tried to upload it into steam workshop, but it doesn't work too
What is the left L-shaped wall? What is the right L-shaped nothing?
L-shaped is my composition, right is that composition which I cant spawn
Different composition?
So both Ls are walls_testin_3?
yeah
Can you spawn it in a empty mission?
In a new scenario?
Yes
No, I can't
They're hidden?
In menu or in scene?
In the scene
Yes
Errors?
How did you spawn that L wall in the previous picture?
I made it, when add these walls to composition
That's the original?
Yes
Strange
Thank you for your attention
with prairie fire my friend cant hear any sound in first person but can in third
in first he cant even hear the nature effects only the radio talking in the FOB
Since you mention sogpf, do the sounds work if the dlc is not in use?
anyone got a clue how to fix this says picture.paa not found not sure how to fix
Today all trees in arma 3 on Tanoa are naked with no leaves ??? @hollow bane I have the precise same issue. Do you have an amd gpu ?
why is there mods which can affect it ?
ive been using the same modset ive been using for a while and ive only had a problem with it 2 days ago
can you try replicating the issue without any mods laoded?
ill try that now
the only thing i can think of which will affect it will be a terrain mod as that is what is affected
no its still doing it
the trees are there you can see them but they barely visible
Steam file verification process:
Right Click on game -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity of game files
Mod repair process:
Open Launcher -> Right Click on mod -> Repair
ight will do
Well I tried that with no effect
what part?
validating done imma see if anything changed
still doing it
just doesn't wanna render in
Changing builds, verifying files but no cigar.
are you on the stable build of arma?
the 'beta' selected in steam
if you dont know what that is, its props fine
make a feedback tracker ticket please
!ft
Please use the official Feedback Tracker to report bugs and suggestions.
See this website for a guide on how to use it correctly: https://feedback.bistudio.com/w/ft_a3_howto/
@hollow bane did you update your AMD drivers today ?
like after arma last worked ?
just to make sure:
Arma with no mods or optional DLC works or does not work?
do you get any error message?
rn eden but when i go in game it still has same affect
sounds like corrupted game files then
ive even uninstalled the game and reinstalled it but still happening
can you see what version you have in the bottom right corner of the mainmenu?
this?
like importing from a website?
yes
yeah
have you ever put anything into the arma 3\addons folder?
but i deleted them like a few days ago only mods i have from steam
as that folder is for the games own internal files and if you put mod pbos in there everything breaks
i extract them into a folder then put it in arma 3 folder
when you uninstalled, did you clear the arma 3 folder?
shit
perhaps some stuff was left behind
ill try reloading see if that made a difference
nope still doing it
have you tried resetting your profile?
also find your RPT file and paste it into pastebin.com
!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.
do you know why my server wont work?
no. but perhaps you dont have IPV4 internet connection
if its IPV6 then hosting wont work
or you have not opened all required ports
what does the column that has the ip address represent
Internal host
at least in my router that needs to be the local network address of my computer
starts with 192.168? yes?
yes
k
no need to cover that then. those are same for everyone in local networks
but anyway
try opening these too
these are steam ports
should the internal host be set the same?
ye
and no external, right?
probably not, my router does not have such at all
or well there is source ip which migth be the same thing
still nothing
i get in and it gives me zero error messages
no i can see the server in tabs, cant direct connect and i cant invite anyone
did you set the hosting mode to internet?
yes
is it the computer firewall or router firewall?
computer firewall
guess ill never host a server again then
you probably dont have all the required mods donwloaded or enabled
@hollow bane Can confirm that reverting back to Adrenalin-21.7.1 fixed the naked trees and missing vegetation
π
wait how do you revert it?
you install the 21.7.1 driver
Download the all-new Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 21.7.1 this driver supportsΒ DOOM Eternal next-gen update Vulkan Ray Tracing....
Yeahh maybe you where a bit in a rush π
fucksake lol now i gotta downlaod everything
that whats factory reset means..
i get what you mean now
always start with reverting drivers, updates etc. π
that means its usign that much space on the dirve E:
how much free space does Drive E: have?
jesus like a couple megabyts
there you go
i just deleted a bunch of stuff
dont know how thats happening
alr time to massacre my drive
okay well i now have 100gb free on my E. , 200gb on my D. , and 38gb on my C. and its still not working
everything else on steam is installing but the mods
is it still saying not enough disk space?
yeah
have you quite steam and restarted it?
I wrote before, don't use Upnp and portforwarding at the same time.
it started but its being weird
it might be it just checks and finds the old installs
hey there guys, I got an issue
last screenshot is no mods/singleplayer
grass and trees (and rocks) do not load but I can see ambient occlusion
when i shut down upnp it gave me a error
show the error
it cant port forward something
was on the wrong wifi too so it just started properly installing, we'll see if everything works now
then don't tell Arma 3 it should start the server with UPnP
how :/
If you set the UDP ports 2302-2306 in the router then Arma 3 shouldn't need to do anyting with UPnP checkmarrk when you start the server.
Well, what do you use to start up the server? Ingame multiplayer menu host server? Or extrenal dedicated server program?
ingame
Don't set that check mark!
And set host to internet if you want to open it to friends.
Disappointingly, i do
that's a steam interface or something, not Arma3
ik
Did you check that link I write in here or #arma3_questions when the server was running?
it gives text anyway, but was what was in it specifically about your server? Or not saying anything special?
yeah, then steam can't reach your server
so its steam
did you enable the portforwarding rule? You showed the ports being defined, but I have to specifically enable the rule in my router. Otherwise they are not in effect.
Also, you need to have those ports open in the firewall of the operating system that runs the server.
i dont understand why this became a problem, before everything was fine
No, something on your side is blocking Steam's attempt to contact it. Or less likely, blocking the responses of your server. Worst case is that you do not have a proper IPv4 address on the internet. You'll have to ask your ISP they provide you with a unique IPv4 address on the internet. Or if they have you share it with other people.
?
?
I don't have the bottom 2 (as Arma doesn't need inbound TCP ports open to listen), and I have inbound 2302-2306 UDP ports open. Mine works.
I'd say turn that UPnP IGD thing off.
off
Yeah, don't know why that was suggested either. It needs outgoing ports to pass through, and those are usually not blocked by default.
The server needs to be running for this, and you have to have fill in the IP address in it to make it work. Not with 192.168.x.y, but your internet-side IPv4 address.
I never said shutdown the firewall! That is risky. I said open ports in it, the same as those for port forwarding.
192.168.x.y is private, your home network. A more random number addres is your public, internet address. Again, if your ISP isn't doing some kind of sharing technique.
can confirm that reverting the driver fixed the tree issue
That looks like success, and what I'm getting when the server is running. Now have your friends find the name of your server in the launcher.
Make sure to find it in the internet list of servers.
i cant invite anyone
@pine kite :/
Well, I never used the friends thing of Steam. I just search a server in the serverbrowser by name. Can't help with that.
i tried with a friend and they cant even see the server
It may take a while, but if Steam sees your server then it should also end up in your friend's server list eventually.
What is the name of your server?
just "a"
Make sure it is running and I'll try
password "a"
I don't immediately need the password, if I see it then it's enough.
But there will be many servers with an 'a' anywhere in the name. Not a smart name to choose.
Oh wait, I forgot, I'm not at home right now. I know for a fact the router I am behind now does not have an IPv4 address. So Arma won't connect anyhow. But maybe the server browser list will populate.
ill have to continue tommorow i need to do other stuff
sure, I myself can't try sooner than monday afternoon
Are you going to keep the server running?
anyone knows how whats the issue could be with ErrorMessage: Cannot open file 'addons\arma3_wasteland'
have you installed mods into arma 3\addons folder?
when does it come up?
are you using mods?
using a sql mod and it comes up when launching the server
server like local hosting or rented dedicated server or something else?
local on linux
I know nothing about that. but perhaps this is enough info for someone else to be able to help
what more could i provide with?
that I dont know. Like I said, id dont know about linux serves
well not really much about servers in general
the original question just did not really have any details to go on with
now there could be enough
alright because that was the only error i was getting
ty
@quaint jewel I've found a bug with importing custom compositions to public zeus in the current profiling build
Is this the right place to report it?
one of the EU Public Zeus servers
Basically - if you have a composition with a Nyx wreck in in it (Land_Wreck_LT_01_F), the composition will not appear in the list of custom compositions when being zeus.
Took me forever to find lol
Yes because Nyx wreck's are not objects that are allowed to be placed in zeus in general
huh, why arent they allowed 
just not available in zeus
Yeah, I can see the Nyx wreck doesn't show up in the list when zeusing
But neither does the USS Liberty and I (and many other pub zeuseseses) can spawn it in.
Anyone ever had this problem?
The leaves on the trees and bushes are invisible
I donβt know what to do
2 other people had this problem today, might be related to amd drivers
did you read the message that those links lead to? @fringe salmon
I want to launch arma with command line parameters from a VSCode task but it keeps asking me if i want to "Allow Game Start". I had this problem before and somehow fixed it but now I reinstalled Win10 and it's back. Does someone know how to not show that prompt? (Screenshot is in german)
Does it show every time? I've seen it only if steam was disabled when the command was executed.
yes it was like this before the reinstall of win10 for me too. but now it is asking every time
Hmm make sure both apps are running on same privilege level, admin/non admin.
No clue what can cause this. It should just work :(
every time i play a custom scenario im receiving this message. Its almost the same every time here u have to other ones
i have all of them mods that are needed btw
this is where you are wrong
looks like not all required mods are listed

If others have the missing tree leaves and grass/foliage then disable ATOC in video settings. Or revert back to 21.7.1
found the problem: I had the wrong drive letter and coincidentially I had the same folder structure on the wrong drive with only the diag.exe in it
I get this in the server's rpt file:
NetServer: trying to send a too large non-guaranteed message (len=1378/1981) to 528541404
I tried everything with basic.cfg, but the problem doesn't go away
Anyone know what to do ?
Hello i have problem i can not see bushes, trees or any other foliage.
here
The only way i can see them is by looking trough them towards the water.
@late rivet see porkelds message couple of rows up
this seems to be problem with gpu drivers
Thank you. The problem was atoc.
having issues on a dedicated server where when i join it just gives this error:
this is the rpt
for every mod ive checked the file name against te command line name and it all checked out fine
Could be several reasons: even though you checked , a mod is missing or got updated in the meantime and deleted said asset/object
OK, so. A couple of months ago, I posted about an issue where I'm unable to join servers and when I attempt to, the application hangs and kills windows. Which required a restart.
Since then, I've been able to join and play on servers that are hosted on Windows machines, but not linux-based.
Is this intentional?
And/Or for linux Servers, is the requireBuild parameter needed?
I got an old mission that i merged with the new modpack. Should work but it doesnt. Whenever i select a role it goes right back to the mission selection
any idea howto fix?
check your RPT files

is this normal or what ? Im new to this kind of stuff and kinda need help?
its odd that all of the menus are extended
That's the thing i tried to find ways to fix it but i see none
and can't press some of the menu's
that's with mod enable without mods i can play perfectly
Then that's an issue by a bad Mod
When i enable CBA_A3 Mod that happens i tried to find some alternative way found none
I'm 99% sure that's not CBA but other Mod that uses CBA
well i tried to run CBA only
try repairing cba via the launcher
Try what Pi said

Nothing. Engine bug
happens when CfgFunctions/initFunctions.sqf doesn't work or errors out
huh oki
Thanks. Too bad
does anyone know how to reset stuck ACE map flashlights? they randomly get stuck on one position of the map, not attached to the mouse, I'd rather not rejoin if possible
extension advanced ballistics x64.dll not found
How can I solve this problem?
Iβm not sure if this is normal. Itβs something thatβs recently popped up but sometimes the game will crash with a Violation Error then promptly delete the saved ACE Kit I was using. Itβs gotten super frustrating and Iβm not entirely sure what else to do.
If your playing offline, then disable battle eye temporarily. That's how I fixed that one.
@fringe salmonIs there a video explaining this please?
Howdy I have an issue where my server won't show up for friends. I'm hosting it using the Arma 3 server software and I can see it when I load up Arma 3 and connect to it. Any idea if there's any ports I might have missed or something?
The ports I have opened and forwarded are:
UDP: 2344
TCP: 2344
TCP: 2345
UDP: 26003
UDP: 26004
UDP: 26005
@fringe salmonThis problem has been going on for more than 10 days
It should be in your Arma 3 Launcher under battleeye.
@fringe salmon
locally hosted?
I'm hosting it on the same machine as I'm playing Arma 3 on so I would assume so?
!localhost
To host a server or a game session locally, you need to make sure first that your WAN address / external IP uses the IPv4 protocol!
Check your routerβs status page in the settings to confirm. (If in doubt, ask your ISP, Websites like βwhatismyip.comβ give you a false positive!)
Local servers and games can not be hosted on an IPv6 network, or IPv4 via DSlite tunnel!
https://www.avg.com/en/signal/ipv4-vs-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 routerβs manual on how to do that, or ask google: β<your router model> + port forwardingβ
Yep it uses IPv4. I have my ports set forward.
TCP: 2344
TCP: 2345
UDP: 26003
UDP: 26004
UDP: 26005```
?
don't get all to fancy on that at the beginning
keep it simple
2302-2306 UDP
I know it hosts and I can see it but now it's waiting till I get someone to come on and test it.
Arma 3 only listens to inbound UDP ports, default 2302-2306. So unless your firewall or router also blocks outgoing TCP traffic then those are not needed to be portforwarded. I would only choose different port numbers than the default if it somehow conflicts with other applications or you intend to host multiple servers.
Just looking to see if anyone can double check Ive got the difficulty set up right (ie no errors/breaking it lol_)
Count the number of opening curly brackets and closing curly brackets. They need to add up. Doesn't look like it or you just cut the screenshot too short.
And I have no idea what file you are trying to put this in so I don't know if it will work as intended.
Server config.cfg
Is it the same file as the mission cycle? Then wrong.
Needs to go in someuserprofilename.arma3profile
Ah right, am i looking in the wrong place as these are the only file things I can see in that section of the server control thing
Yeah, you have to search the file structure a bit. It's the profile used by the system username running the server. Or incase you start it with the -name parameter then that username.
Maybe in some folder called Users. I don't know how that works out on rented Arma 3 servers.
ahh i think ive found it
either TCAGame.Arma3Profile or TCAGame.vars.Arma3Profile
first one then, the later can contain mission progress and likely looks binary.
this is whats in the first one
Yeah, just plunk that class DifficultyPresets { yada yada yada } there at the end or in between. (but not in the other curcly brackets.
sweeto will do thanks for all the help my dude
Don't forget to change the difficulty choice in the missioncycle to Custom.
will do
so is it common in arma 3 for a 3080 to hit 100 usage rate when running on ultra 1440p with 300% sampling?
with about 20fps
with 300% sampling? easily.
figures........ game sure does look amazing with that though
Is there a launcher for arma 3
yes?
@quaint jewel what is it
Yes exactly DayZ launcher is the same as the Arma launcher just with slightly different design
What else do you want me to tell you
you ask about the launcher, I tell you about the launcher and you say "no"?
idk what's the difference from original launchers and if it's any better. 
Most modded public servers work just fine with standard arma 3 launcher.
it wont download for some reason
Well if people ask about the "dayz standalone launcher"
Do they mean the "dayz standalone's launcher" or the "dayz standalone launcher"
Same when they ask about "Arma 3 Launcher"
Do they mean Arma 3's launcher, or do they mean the "A3 Launcher"

I don't know of any reason why you would want a seperate launcher that does the same stuff as the official one.
well bc it auto downloads the mods
I think A3 Launcher made sense ages ago when not everything was on a workshop.
In rare cases, private 'units' use things like A3Sync to sync modpacks easier.
But we're not talking about A3Sync or Swifty, that's different thing.
Yes. But that wasn't the question here
The official launchers do that too
and official one does the same.
FR
Was meant to add, that sync still needs launcher to work. So yh, Ik its not directly related. :/
ah ok thanks
what servers do you guys perfer me to join
Join whatever you like to play, we don't know that ^^
So what I have here, is my arma unrenders within like 5 mintues of game play on any server whether its modded or vanilla
idk
i load the game from the launcher
it loads until that point
and then it never progresses
and then the game stops responding
launch the game directly from the installation folder ..\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\arma3_x64.exe once. if that works, set display mode to fullscreen window, then try to launch from the launcher again.
also make sure that arma3_x64.exe is selected in the launcher options.
i'm off to bed no, if you keep having this issue, someone else has to help you out
k thanks
Also, let it load.
Dont click or do anything else until that image has disappeared
Any fixes or help on my rendering issue? or
Try to verify the game just in case
does anyone know why i cant launch arma 3
not with the amount of info you provided by now
i just bought it yesterday and finished downloading toda, it gets to the launcher screen but when i press play without mods it just gets stuck on my desktop screen
i uninstalled it and am currently re downloading it rn
this popped up when trying to launch the game, anyone know what to do? i already tried verifying game files
hey whats this visual bug I keep getting after long sessions in singleplayer? I start getting hardware lag and stuff in the distance keeps popping in and out of detail really fast
I have 32GB RAM, i7-4770k @ 4.0Ghz and 2x GTX 1080
βthisβ?
you can post a screenshot here @quartz flint
No thanks. What Lou said
how can i showcase it if it pops in really fast?
"we don't do that here"
I wont be able to screenshot it...
i dont undertsand what you mean
first you tell me not in general chat
then i go to this chat
and you tell me not do that here
...
if you manage to do so, many people can help
Not just the ones that happen to see it in the stream
you can capture a video, then make a gif
I mean "Black Panther meme" about "going in video"
oh
- Streaming just to troubleshoot/ask question is terribly BAD, since it offers the example only for the people who lives/wakes right now, and luckily to observe your stream
- Capture the video if it pops only split seconds. You can post it here so everyone even the future people can watch it
- Or, if you can't or are lazy to capture the video, ask someone so one can capture your stream, so possible to post it here
- Silence won't solve your issue
yeah ill be up for awhile, in anycase it will be blamed on my mods since I do play with about 700gb loaded
i just gotta restart my session ill just save my units
if you have 700gb of mods loaded, I dont see a reason not to blame it on the mods 
well because issues only arrise after like 8 hours of application runtime
i think its hardware related
then make sure your hardware is properly cooled down, that would be my first guess
CPU and GPU of course
if those are artefacts (like one triangle line moving far away from an object) it can be GPU overheat and/or wrong drivers
Hello, so i was playing arma few days ago and it worked perfectly fine but now when I try to start the game with the launcher the screen turns black and then crashes the computer pretty much
Pleas help I donβt know what to do Iβve tried to reinstall the game but it didnβt help..
Ps the screen turns black when the launcher has loaded al the mods and al that
Try reinstalling your gpu drivers
Ok how do I do that?
emm. you have not done it before? that you figure out what type of GPU your computer has and download its driver installer and install it
No I havenβt.. should I just watch a totorial, and how do I figure out what type of gpu it has?
you can probably find that info on google
So i have a problem where i join a server with and without mods ( i tried alot) i cant join them because i join and it discons me before i could do anything this is happening to a couple friends of mine and the pepole ingame say i join then leave
Usually an error message will appear on your screen but also in side chat that players in game would see too
@fiery locust use the launchers server browser to join servers so it can set up mods for the server
if you start game with wrong mod setup you cant join on most servers
ok so I got a real weird issue I'm having trouble dealing with, for some reason any type of leave, grass or bush is see through for me. No idea why, no idea how to fix this. All i can say is that this started when I reinstalled arma onto my new SSD. Anyone know whats going on? I been trying to figure this out for about 4 days now, tried a full reinstall, tried reverting my drivers, tried verifying files etc and nothing effects it. At this point IO'm just real lost on how to fix this so any help would be really appreciated. π¦
@main sand if you scroll up people have had same problem and have had to revert to older gpu drivers to fix this
or disable ATOC antialiasing
but ATOC looks nice π
is west germany dlc worth it?
yes?
i broke my arma somehow
do you know where I might be able to find older drivers for a Radeon RX 580? I've already reverted them back one version and not sure how to go back further
That's not a bug, that's a feature. AMD upgrading your game experience with Altis-Fall terrain and Chernarus Dynamic winter terrain. (joke)
.
My turkish isn't so good, so if you could try to translate it, Someone might be able to give advice what to do about it. Though it can't hurt to let Steam verify the Arma 3 game install.
cant help you with that im afraid
I'm not sure that is his issue rn lol
clearly must be
@main sand AMD radeon 21.7.1 is working and can be found here https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/amd-radeon-adrenalin-21-7-1-driver-download.html
Download the all-new Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 21.7.1 this driver supportsΒ DOOM Eternal next-gen update Vulkan Ray Tracing....
im getting status_access_violation crash on start
any help would be greatly appreciated
can anyone help me out im new and im strugling to fine a server that doesnt require dlc and that lets me in
you can use the launchers server browser to see what mods/dlcs a server is using
and the launchers server browser can also set those up for you if you want
though mods do require downloading
Are there any servers you could suggest for a beginer?
tutorials and single player π
see https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Getting_Started#Playing_in_Single_Player for a list of solo/training content
ok thanks again
@brave hawk I've tried everything on the wiki to get my game launching and it's still not working what else can I do
i thought youd know bc of your roles sorry π
np ^^
@uncut trellis those didnt work
soz I got no more info on that
ok np ty
Can someone help me with this every time I get into certain vehicles that are on (all the helicopters and some cars) it crashes me
in past this problem has been linked to USB headset/audio devices, if you can try without such and with 3.5mm jack connection
my only headset is blue tooth
@upbeat blaze https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znZoUlW-z84&ab_channel=SubVoidMedia fixed it for me do the profile thing

is the armaZ mod out yet?
Hello, is it vanilla behaviour for jet pilots to shift forwards and backwards in their seat positioning as the throttle is increased and decreased?
I'm trying to track down what's causing this to happen to me as a pilot, as it makes me clip into my seat in some aircraft, lowering visibility
yes
and you should not seat-clip in vanilla vehicles
Thanks for letting me know about that - is this a feature that can be disabled in the options or would a mod be required? I'm dealing with mod vehicles that have the issue, and while the ideal solution would be these vehicles are better made, I'm looking for a more realistic fix π
It can not be turned off.
Iirc you have to tweak the pilot optics fob and/or the proxy position
accelerate less π

Been playing warlords forever and I don't team kill or draw nazi symbols on the map etc but today if I join a game I get battleye admin ban wlbsx
can anyone help me with how I can play online warlords again?
wlbsx means bad language. So it's likely something else you said or wrote in the chat.
Could i get some help with this, Everytime i launch my game this happens and i cant open it, ive tried uninstalling arma 3 and reinstalling it but still cant fix it
@jovial carbon that's related to some mod you have

Iβve been looking through and I canβt figure out which mod it is
That we can't help with. But it is a broken or missing mod. SWU_Aachen is what's broke
You'll need to figure out what that is
It's a terrain too
So a map mod
Hello friends, I want a solution to the problem of fainting inside the planeΨΨ
Could be mod feature. Solution: don't do stunts maybe?
The only map mod I have that revolves SWU is SWU Al Salman Iraq
I had the required settings but I lost them I left the game for a while and forgot everything
This problem has settings from inside the game, how can I find it?
It's probably in mod/addon settings
could be that then. Youll just have to test them until you find it.
I used to find the solution here, but now I can't find it
I have my own server and I have a problem. I want some solutions, please
thank you for the advice π
its now saying something about sounds
Maybe you have more broken mods
Iβm trying to figure it out ,
Might just take out all the mods I got newer to see if that works
One solution is to disable the mod that has that behavior.
If there is nothing in its configs
ACE G-Force settings.
?
@patent kettleUnfortunately, the problem has not been resolved
what problem, if you will disable ACE G-Force then the effect will be not there.
So you're doing something wrong.
so i went thru all my mods i have and none of them have anything to do with aachen outskirts and its confusing me
impossibru. it's in the error message, literally
i know
i looked at my mods
and i cant find anything to do with aachen outskirts
i dont have that terrain
tried unloading all mods?
split your mods in half. run one half of the mods and see if the error is still present. if not, repeat with the other half.
cut the half that was causing the error in half again, repeat
alright
Got the game to launch
Everything that flies in a plane falls like dead
Are you pressing shift to increase thrust lol
@near hollow yes I do
Please refrain from pinging someone for no reason over and over again
got the issue of my leaves, bushes, grass being see through, in and out of eden, zeus, singleplayer, multiplayer. shadows are there but leaves arent
disable ATOC or revert your AMD driver to an older version
was ATOC, ty
AMD π¦ed up with the last update... disabling is a short term fix
it's in the pinned messages for now btw π
@pure cipher ?
ok
just, plz, don't ping people that didn't take part in solving the issue
the channel is an open-question room π
oh sorry
np!
tunnelvision
So yeh, that effect is the realism of ACE's G-Forces.
You can literally disable it, and any part of ACE that you dont want to run by disabling the option which asks if you want it enabled, and make sure you do that on the mission tab in editor, and/or on the server settings that you are loading if on a server.
I am having a weird issue where my joystick wont fully work when I launch arma 3 with battleye however works fine when I launch it without battleye can anyone help

Data error (cyclic redundancy check).
ouch indeed.
try checking game's file cache with Steam?
i solved the problem thanks.
still got an issue with my server where when I run a mission it kicks me back to the mission voting screen
and i cant make out if the rpt file is sending me anything fishy
so my friends are trying to join my server but the server does not use ny dlc and it's not letting them join and is telling them that need to have the dlc to join, anyone know a solution to this~?
go to eden editor, attributes. And untick require dlc
but there are no dlc's
what's the exact error message they get?
fixed, sorry about that guys
well if anyone knows how to fix my issue up there lmk
yes, by loading all required mods
use the arma 3 launcher server browser to join servers. you get prompted for missing mods
There is a double quote missing at the end of your -servermod parameter.
At least in the RPT
I don't know, Might be the mods themselver that are buggy or conflicting.
doesnt seem like that fixed it
yeah, tried 2 mission files, unfortunately hasnt fixed the issue
Start the server without any mods and test, then you know the base setup is correct. Subsequently add more mods, but only the ones that rely on eachother at each step.
alright
I have been stuck on this screen for like 12 minutes and its been happening since yesterday
neither my launcher or game shows servers
sometimes it does and sometimes it loads forever
hey I ran the arma benchmark scenario and I'm getting an fps of 43.3 at 1920Γ1080. This is with a ryzen 5 5600x and 16gb 3600mhz ram. Is there anyone else with a similar setup who would be willing to share their's?
#hardware_vs_arma is the best place to discuss. It seems pretty decent for me, though
nice thanks
hello, been trying to setup an antistasi server for me and my friends, i have the server up and running and when we connect it only shows Stratis and nothing happens.
the server console log is flooded with this: Mission Antistasi -Altis Requiem read from directory
not able to see trees or bushes in game on any server I play, did a validation of files as well as updated all mods . I can see the trucks of the trees just not the foliage any help would be thankful !
Disable ATOC or revert AMD driver I heard
ATOC not tracking ? and where is that ?
Video settings
In-game settings AFAIK

Sounds like a pretty outdated GPU but still the same code so worth of read IMO. I don't know what is the situation so everything is up to you
Okay thank you for the advice.
still got this issue
really need a fix, put a post up on the forums as well to see if that helps
how do i host a server for me and my friends to play on
No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgWorlds.altiplano'.
You didn't load the terrain mod on the server
i've got some units which seem to have their headgear "locked" to a certain helmet
as in if I change their headgear via editor, they'll spawn in-game with the default helmet they started with
i was just wondering if this is a problem with my game and if so, how can I fix it?
just checked and I can set my headgear with player addHeadgear so I believe it's a problem with the arsenal rather than the character
i keep getting battleeye failed
What mod are you using for the affected unit?
It could be Gear Randomisation from the units addon overwriting your edits.
e.g. Community Factions Project.
it's 3CB BAF Units
Hey, I just bought the game ("complete" version) yesterday and I'm trying to play some multiplayer but I'm really struggling.
Any specific reason why my game would crash whenever I'm trying to spawn on a "King of the hill" server?
anyone know a fix for this? Lmk
have you tried vanilla missions?
yeah those work
so its some mod probs causing this
im unloading and loading em but its tough to figure out
Hence the value in as few mods as possible.
im sorry but 400 mods is the bare minimum I can play with
And for those that wonder, Yes, that discussion actually happened last week or so.
It's been a while since I've used 3CB, but I'm 50% sure there is gear randomisation on their units - I may be wrong though, but only 50% so!
Look for a Disable Randomisation, or something along those lines, tick box when editing the affected units.
Disable the randomisation THEN modify the loadout.
idk if it's a known bug, but when I disconnect both audio output and input while playing Arma, the game crashes, with or without mods
reinstall vcredist for 2013
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_process_exit
Whenever I try to open Arma 3, it forces me to update the game, then when it finishes, and I try to open the game again, the whole process repeats.
And it says "Downloading Workshop"
But for some reason its 26 gigs???
After it finishes it says "Downloading Workshop 0%" and "Launching" then does nothing.
did u try uninstall and reinstall
I can send messages in chat and other people can see them but I can never see other peoples messages or my own anyone have any fixes?
It worked
good shit
Why the hell have i been banned, its been weeks since i last played warlords but today when i tried to log on i see this crap, WTF IS THIS?
, to change chat frequencies
It means you have used abusive and/or racist language in game on the past and have been banned for that.
anyone know why I'm getting this "circle" of brighter textures in the editor? all my settings are at very high or ultra
You may have the flashlight on
turning flashlight on and off and nothing changes
It is terrain texture vs detail texture. There's nothing you can do
AKA up to terrain creator
guys
i tryed fixing STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND
and it just didnt work gives the same thing
what do i do
Did you try all suggestions given under: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_process_exit#0xC0000135_-_STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND ?
both x86 and x64 version 0f VrCredist 2013?
yes
well, i would not know of any other solution than this. just asking to make sure nothing was skipped.
Never had the error myself
sadders
Seems like your OS is not working correctly if those things are not found yet installed. You sure you installed them as an Admin?
yes
@humble eagle open command promt as admin and do
SFC/scannow

I am having some annoying sound issues. When my back is turned to a sound source like a aircon on Tanoa the sound is very very low. If I face the source its all loud again. Stereo works fine. Is this just how it is or am I jinxed somehow ?
do you have some fancy surround sound headphones? Arma does not support that I believe
Nope just normal cheapass headphones. There is no issue with gunfire or grenades. Just objects that emits sound.
Hey I hope someone can help me here. I have the problem that I'm out of the game. without error message. Usually play in the loading screen or after 20-30 minutes. I've already tried reinstalling, troubleshooting in admin mode or troubleshooting, etc. Unfortunately, nothing helped. Do you have an idea why it could be?
what do the logs say?
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.
Nothing. Thats a problem.
Everytime I add an outfit on a unit and go back to the map, it immediately overwrites it and goes back to the original unit's clothes.
that's most likely because a respawn is happening, and respawn is based on config outfit
(and don't force respawn on start)
Thanks π
hey
how do i fix my camera not turning
after exiting the arsenal in mp
it stutters when i want to turn right or left
and locks back
freelook and vehicle camera seems fine
including zeus
Just wanted to post my FIX for others. I have a rig with realtek HD and windows 10 and I use a normal pair of stereo headphones and NO surround setup. Turns out that windows 10 have a "feature" where it sometime think you wanna use surround although you only have stereo equipment. So windows wonΒ΄t mix the 7.1 audio down to stereo and just serving you front speaker sound in your headphone π That way you are missing ALOT positional audio π FIX at least for me is to go to sound settings > sound control panel > properties for speakers under playback device list > enhancements tab > check disable all sound effects. Voila all sounds are back again π
I'm playing the campaign, and at a specific moment, it crashes. It mostly happens at the beginning of the story. For example, I was doing a prologue where the npc teaches the AAF soldiers target practice. After that, I'm told to take something out of the crate. Once I take it out, it immediately freezes and exits out of the game. I tried another part of the campaign (it's the one after the prologue) and it too freezes and shuts down. I don't use mods or anything like that; I'm just playing it normal. I don't know if it's my computer or the game itself, but something is wrong. Anyway, that's all I know at the moment, and I can't do the campaign.
I said details, not summary
Okay let me rephrase:
- What campaign?
- What is the specific moment?
- How it crashes?
- Do you have any of loaded Mods?
^ that is the details
There we go...
This just sounds like broken game. As you already suggested, try to verify the game
And do you got any error message?
No just the report the issue thing
When a3 crashes it saves a mdmp file
I'd open a ticket personally
If it crashes with no mods on a vanilla campaign
Then open up a feedback ticket. Put all the Info in and attach your RPT and Mdmp file from your localappdata arma 3 folder
!rpt

But before that I suggest to verify
Already did
And? Worked or not?
Did it say will reaquire x files?
Woop enjoy!
When I go to the edit loadout and select a different gun for the Unit that I'm customizing, it only has 1 mag. Does anybody know how to have the Unit start with more?
The campaign continues crashing again, so I just put in another report, and I'll just wait and see what happens.
Now I can't do multiplayer, so I'm guessing it's my computer. Smh..
Could be overheating
No, I would hear my computer overheat if it was
Unless you have actively configured an alarm to sound when anything βoverheatsβ you wonβt hear anything. Games just crashes or quits. Take the sides of your cab off and see if that makes a difference. Your fans / heat sinks could be filled with dust also.
i got a question
so in campaign
second or third level idk
team leader steps on a fucked up landmine
what am i supposed to do?
like wait there?
survive
well then i failed
i straight went up to loot him
and after i did it that landmine under my feet exploded
how can i see the landmines?
you cant
ok how this then
or well if you are very careful some of them poke out the ground a bit
the mission wont hold your hand too much, you need to figure out your own way. I recall you should have a task in your task list that tells you what you need to achieve
could be you have hardware malfunction there
how do I fix it?
Uumm if its really hardware failure you may need to buy new drive
I successfully installed something on the same drive before hand though?
is the disk out of space?
shouldnt be for arma
Hello all my arma mods are updating anyone knows how to fix it?
No errors found
then could be something else accessed the files and it was locked
could be that you just need to restart steam and try again
See if you can locate the file. Try to rename it when Steam and Arma is not running ( a little less final than removing it outright). Then verify the Arma 3 install from within the properties of the Arma 3 game in your library, local files tab or something.
How I can hear it overheat is when it blows air, but ok. My computer isn't dusty its just not compatible ig
I'll have to buy a new drive and see if that works
Well, temperature out of the fan increases. If the fan rpm is modulated based on load it should increase. But maybe it is already at max RPM and the game just pushes it over the edge.
Yeah, might have a clogg of dust velt blocking the heatsink. Open the radial fan casing and see if it needs cleaning.
Or use apps that can show internal temperatures of the CPU and GPU and compare a baseline to when you run the game at these particular momments.
try without it too
the .exe application for arma?
It may not be easy to locate a maintenance manual for it. But I would certaintly try. And there are plenty videos done by people on youtube.
some usb headset drivers have problem with windows 10 and Arma and cause issues
No the file mentioned in that screenshot you placed.
ah okay, and rename it to literally anything?
I usually add .bkup at the end of it. As long as it gets a different name and cannot be found afterwards.
But easily restored by renaming if it wasn't the cause.
Imma have to figure out another way.
I found it
Welp... It's the headset... Just my luck
It's a common Steam issue, there should be a thread about it somewhere in the Steam discusisons on a likely fix. I just don't know the link. Google will probably find it.
Ok thanks i will look it up if i find something that works i'm gonna post it here
So is there anyway to fix that USB headset issue or am I stuck with this?
check if there are any updated drivers for your headset.
if its ALL your mods, this works well. https://steamcommunity.com/app/107410/discussions/1/135510194254064583/
If you or your computer screwed up, and steam is now re-downloading the plethora of mods you had installed, then this discussion is for you! NOTE IF YOU HAVE COMPLETELY DELETED THE MODS FROM THE COMPUTER THIS WILL NOT HELP YOU Backup the file(s) we work with before editing, you have been warned A little more detail on the problem we'll be deal...
Yep worked
I'm not 100% computer geek, so how do I do that?
hey guys, i am having an issue with saving a game now that I do not have ACE installed anymore. It says some of my custom mods require ace g forces however i removed all the custom mods from my addon folder and it is still giving me the same error message while trying to save. how can i play and save without ace?
Search the manufacturer site of your headset if they have any newer drivers than since you bought it. Install that.
sounds like the mission file has ACE decencies
Load the mission file (in 3den) with ACE loaded, and under scenario, select required addons. it should tell you what ACE is specifically depending on
thanks for the reply, the mission is actually the Dynamic Recon Ops mod from the workshop, also when I the game is loading and initializing addons it also says the ace g force thing
what mods are you loading? As it could be your mods need it
the weird thing is is it is saying one of my custom faction mods needs ace g forces in particular, however I removed the custom faction mod from the addon folderand it still is saying the custom faction needs ace g forces. it is actually doing the same error if I remove Iron Front Mod as well, except it says requires "IFA etc"
i just dont get why after removing the addons it still says I need ace to make those addons work
I keep getting "Ace_Compat_RH_ACC Error, any way to fix it?
you can post the picture here
you are missing RH_acc addon
Where would I find the addon?
my question is, why are you running ace compatibility addon for an addon you dont have
Uh, I just started playin a few weeks ago.. Then I got ACE for the medical, and then after that I was getting this Error
you have got some other mods too then that you dont need
In ACE ?
I dont think ACE contains ACE compat mods on its own
are you trying to join a server or just run singleplayer?
I mostly run SP because of Zeus
alright, then you can just turn off that ace_compat_rh_acc
same message?
Do I need these?
RH compats probably not
the others 
nice to someone name their mod as ACE compatibility
and leave out with what
depends if you run something that they make ace compatible with
like I said the mod name is bad
I have Weapons and Terrains
as it does not tell what the compatibility it is
you should be able to just run game with it to try if something needs it
Okay
or check that mods workshop page for information what it is for
how have you subscribed to so many mods you dont know what they are for?
I look at YouTube videos and they say "MODS YOU NEED FOR ARMA3"
Yeah, I been just following that.
I have a ton of mods, that I have no clue what they do..
thats not good
possibly if you have RHS
I do
honestly though Im not sure if ACE medical is much use for you in single player
unless you like other features of it too
I use it for Single Play, but I cant save anyones life.. They just lay on the floor..
Yup.
Id say you would have far better experience without it at this point
it make things a lot more complicated
and unless you really want that, then its of no use
Yeah, im gettin rid of mods I dont know about
Do I need ALIVE ?
YESSS, I WORKED π
Thank you so MUCHH
Anyone know the fix for see through trees? my graphics settings are maxed for terrain detail in both standard arma and CH viewdistance.
Search for recent messages about AMD. I don't remember the acronym for the issue, but there was a workaround. Or downgrade driver version I think.
disbale ATOC or refresh/revert GPU drivers
Disabling ATOC worked! Thank you!
making sure your gpu drivers are ok is also a good idea
Why?
perhaps corrupted game file
soo what should i do?
try verifying your game files on steam
how can i do that?
verify game files steam <- put this in google
ty
btw my gpu and cpu is amd ryzen 4650g and 16 gb i think i am able to play it at less 30 frame right?
have no experience with that gpus so cant say. You can try asking opinion on #hardware_vs_arma
Hello all is there any way to get the old arma 3 editor back iv taken a break for modding for a few years since make arma not war and now iv come back there is this horrible new editor. ( can i change it back or is there indepth guides to the new one )
IIRC there is a hidden command to do that which I don't even remember, but I don't understand why you say Eden Editor is horrible
i prefer what i am used to i dont like change
i made of 600 mods on the old system it was fine the way it was
The 2D-Editor is now permanently replaced by Eden Editor (3D-Editor), but can still be invoked from the editor map selection screen with Ctrl + O shortcut for legacy purposes!
BIKI says so. I didn't tested yet
ty i will have a look in the morning
anybody know why this would be doing this?
i have reshade, but all of my effects were disabled for this test
This does seem like a big refract effect
Which means it can be occurred by a script from the mission or a Mod, IDK which it does. Make sure it doesn't happened in an empty mission, if my guess is right
yeah i'm thinking it's my reshade detecting something and trying to do an effect
or it's one of the suppression mods doing a weird thing
My Arma decides to not to launch and just stays on loading profile options, and when I hover over the app it says "Not Responding"
Ok, usually I don't search for answers on Discord, but I'm desperate . I play my games on dualscreen setup. I want Arma 3 to run on a secondary screen and not the primary, but there is no option to change it. I tried to change it through cfg file, like others suggested, but changing it makes BattleEye kicking me out and not even letting me run the game. Please, help. In other conditions I might just give up on Arma, since it's my first contact with the series and so far it's not great. I play the game on fullscreen windowed mode.
One way to do this is, to have it windowed to a smaller resolution than your screen, drag the game window to your second screen, and then change to full-screen windowed mode.
Ok, will try this one out.
is the guy of this vid in this discord
Sadly it's not working - game just automatically goes back to primary screen.
Ok, I found a "temporary workaround" for my issue, but still, not having an ability to freely choose on which display I want to play simply sucks.
anyone know how to fix this, i have put the people down and teamed them, not sure what the problem is
