burnt sky
#

Yeah that's how I loaded everything.

true stone
#

okay, one of your mods are probably corrupted, sounds like VSM AiO

#

repair that in your arma launcher

burnt sky
#

How do I do that?

burnt sky
#

When I press Join from launcher It just takes me to the menu fo Arma

#

Then error occures when I press Join

true stone
#

under the mods tab in your launcher

burnt sky
#

Mods are up to date it says.

true stone
#

Hit that button

burnt sky
#

Alright

#

through repairing.

Did you load any mods, messed with parameters? More details you give, better answers you'll get.

there is a wiki page about these errors, perhaps you can find what needs to be done there

DXGI suggests something is messed up with Graphics drivers or DirectX.

Hey, I've run into a bit of a snag when I'm making a mission. I'm making a mission based around a Takistani cold war civil war thing and the idea is that the players will be playing as international units, so, the AI that are at the base are to have European faces and such. Now to get around this I've placed down a unit, copied the loadout, grabbed another unit with the face and voice I want then pasted the loadout onto them, it normally works with no problems. However when I start up the mission to make sure everything is working in zeus, testing out some stuff, it goes back to their original loadouts, minus the weapons. I'm not sure if this is caused due to a mod conflict or something else entirely, has anyone else come across this bug and if so do they have a fix for this? Thank you.

Hello guys one question its been years since i installed Arma 2 and Operation Arrowhead, just did it tried to do a server list browse and is empty nothing shows up do i need to download some patch or do something else? thanks in advance.

wise barn
#

@crimson patrol
arma 2 used to use GameSpy service for servers which got shut down some years ago. i'm not sure if BI switched to a steam solution, but if not you will very likely be out of luck finding servers without direct connecting via IP

crimson patrol
#

Oh i see i just wanted to play some MCC the old sandbox mode with a friend iirc Arma 3 doesnt has one or something.

wise barn
#

there is MCC for arma 3. even the vanilla game has something comparable called "zeus"

crimson patrol
#

oh with the dynamic missions and stuff?

wise barn
#

there are other mods that support dynamic missions, like "ALiVE"

crimson patrol
#

interesting I'm going to take a look right now and thanks

hey i just got a server cant load any custom scenarios, it says i need to have a description.ext even though i got a couple of arma servers from this company before and had no problem with it

steady hawk
#

Not 100% sure what these settings are, but both of port forwarding and UPnP are not working well to host a game (not Dedicated), it doesn't show up on the server browser. What it could be and what should I show you to solve?

marsh python
#

Hello i need help please because i have texture problem in game

uncut trellis
#

@marsh python whats the problem?

marsh python
#

Problem of detail, it shows a lot at the level of the road

uncut trellis
#

its normal. your hardware probably is maxed out

marsh python
#

The game is really not pretty whereas before it was nice to play

#

The game is f$ull ultra

uncut trellis
#

do you have mods?

marsh python
#

No

uncut trellis
#

or anything else running?

#

whats your view distances?

marsh python
#

1200

#

my config is I7-7700k, 16gb ram 3600mhz and gtx 1070

#

The problem does not come from my configuration

uncut trellis
#

why not?

marsh python
#

Because when I was playing before I didn't have this problem and it was nice to play

uncut trellis
#

when was before?

#

what have you changed since that?

marsh python
#

I have had the game since 2017 and this problem has persisted for several months so I can't really play the games anymore because the quality on the go is horrible

uncut trellis
#

then it definitly could be problem with your hardware

#

or drivers

#

have you cleaned up your computer fans? have you updated your drivers?

marsh python
#

All my drivers are up to date and my pc is like new

golden nova
#

you sure you're playing in right resolution?

marsh python
#

yes my resolution is 1920x1080

golden nova
#

and you're sure your settings are maxed out, including anti aliasing, ambient occlusion and all of that?

#

if you have geforce experience you could uncheck the optimization feature for Arma, maybe it's doing weird things to your game

marsh python
#

I looked but the problem does not come from geforce experience either

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.

pine kite
#

@glacial fiber ^ It helps if you can explain exactly what happened just prior to his crash. You'll have to correlate the time-date of the RPT filename with the session when the crash happened and what was done that caused it.

#

I've had this problem where whenever I'm in a vehicle, there's this weird graphical glitch that causes some sort of z fighting to occur on all the objects. It's especially apparent on the bandana

#

I'm getting tired of Arma turning into a horror game whenever I hop into a helicopter with a guy with a bandana on

#

Here's another example

#

pay attention to the door gunner and eye sockets of the character

golden nova
#

unfortunately it's not fixable (for us, players), this is how Arma renders units inside the vehicles. Might be some issue with either the vehicle config or equipment, but I've never seen a vehicle that it doesn't happen inside of it

rustic wolf
#

I don’t get this

#

Tried to load a campaign mission after not playing arma for a year

#

and this pops up

humble wagon
#

@rustic wolf many updates have passed by since you have not played for a year, so old saves won't work as they are based on the very old versions of the game.

rustic wolf
#

so how can i play it

humble wagon
#

@rustic wolf restart the campaign/mission, and not press continue as that will give this error.

FPS Stutter - Hi collective brains. I am begging for help. I have a regular frame stutter when playing Arma. Every 2 - 3 seconds my FPS drops. causing a micro stutter. It is driving me insane. I have tried a total reinstall. Got rid of the issue for 5 mins then it was back. Tried with and without mods.

My system is more than capable. 16GB RAM, 2080TI GEforce RTX, Ryzen 9, Arma is on its own SSD 2TB.

I have changed parameters and settings. I dont get this FPS with anything else.

https://youtu.be/3wOEd5ksq5Q

This is the stutter that I get in ARMA3. You can see the FPS drop suddenly every 2-3 seconds then go back up.

Steam says Server is not responding. on my UPnP'd host, even though UPnP is enabled/worked properly it seems, so nobody can see/connect to my game. What it could be, and what should I show you to solve?

I can confirm that UPnP NAT whatever lists 2302, 2303, 2304, 2306 on my router settings. Also surely my router is on my Networks on Explorer. So it is running I suppose

I'm getting an error reading Include file d3s_cars_core_18\macros.hpp not found. and ArmA 3 won't start. This has only started happening after I subscribed to a few mods, could someone look at my troubleshooting report and tell me which mod(s) are causing the issue?

pine kite
#

Maybe trace back the steps in which mods you subscribed to. That should be easier than others making a guess.

#

Steam can show all workshop items you subscribed to in your profile. And then sort them by date.

#

One thing is for sure, the paths to the mods it loads is broken according to the RPT files in that zip file

wintry topaz
#

if a friend joins then get disconnected immediately from a co-op server why is this?

#

mod mismatch?

radiant rampart
#

Yes

wintry topaz
#

do we have to have every mod the same or just the main ones?

#

because ive played before with him with small mods like improved thermals and it worked fine

#

but with something like RHSUSAF it doesnt work

radiant rampart
#

Depends if the mod is client side or server side. Some mods are server side meaning they need to be on the server and the client will need them also. Others a client may just run like thermals. RHSUSAF is server side.

Simple way to think about it is if it adds something to the game that everyone needs to see or interact with then it is server side. RHS adds vehicles. So if you don’t all have it then you can see a tank and the other guy can’t. Or you have a gun and shoot him despite it being invisible to him. Also his client would not recognise the bullet etc….

hey so I'm having a weird issue where screenshots I try to take using the debug console won't save. I've been trying to use the exportEditorPreviews function for a mod and it would go through the process until I'd look in my screenshots folder and nothing was there except the subfolder for the mod itself. I tried just taking a normal screenshot too using the screenshot ""; command and that didn't save anything either. The only thing I've done other than run those commands so far is increase the size of the screenshot folder by putting maxScreenShotFolderSizeMB = 2000; into my .arma3profile file. I also really quickly just tried upping the size of the folder to 5000 and running the game as admin and neither of those seemed to help

#

I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything obvious

I am truly at my wits end here.. not sure if this is the right place for this but I have spent hours trying to fix this.
Here is my situation:
Recently installed a cool looking scenario called Direct Action by BillyEatsWorld
When trying to play this on any version, I was running into a "bad_module_info" crash error
Attempting to fix this I did a number of things including setting the game to 32-bit, changing the memory allocator, and setting all of the .exe files to run without the fullscreen optimization enabled
I'm unsure as to whether or not this issue has been fixed, however, now I have the issue where my game crashes after I do particular things in game with the crash error of 0xC0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION and have done all of the following steps to no avail:

#

can someone here help me with this issue

regal laurel
#

Crashed playing Old Man too

#

Just uninstalled all of my mods and removed all of my scenarios

#

Currently cant even play the game for more than 10 mins

# fossil vale hey so I'm having a weird issue where screenshots I try to take using the debug ...

So I am completely and utterly stumped. as of now I've reinstalled the game from scratch, gone into windows sharing settings for the documents folder and shared it with myself in hopes I just don't have full access to it, taken the whole documents folder off of read only, gone into the security settings of the folder and tried giving myself access through that, made sure that controlled folder access was turned off, not just for the documents folder, but in general, and none of that is allowing me to take screenshots from the debug console either

maybe because it's one of the most generic error message possible in windows.

Not sure where to ask this, but I run a dedicated server on a box for arma 3, i got a mission file sorted with all the mods etc... now i launch the mission file in game, i choose a slot to load into, i download the map and when it starts to load me in it just kicks me to the mission selection screen

near hollow
#

Look at your servers RPT

#

It will be inside the arma 3 folder in the servers files

fringe salmon
#

yeah i did and im not sure what error to even begin searching for

pine kite
#

You can upload the file somewhere (maybe even here if it is not too big) and let others have a look. Maybe the cause is hidden in the RPT file your game client makes, should be hidden in an Arma 3 folder in your userprofile (invisible) Appdata folder.

fringe salmon
#

that's the rpt file for the server from the mission selection until i got booted back out into mission selection again

#

12:17:41 Warning: Steam Query data overflow, Mods/Signatures will not be correctly received by clients. Remove unused mods or change your server configuration to allow for more data to be sent.

That's the line thats concerning me out of all of them

#

1 think i did too was change the name of the pbo of the mission file, but that was done prior before it being put on the box.

#

that shouldnt cause an issue cus i've done it before but just saying

pine kite
#

That is not the entire file! That's just a snippet. Since you don't know what to look for, there's no point in you choosing the part you think might be it. Upload the entire file somwhere. Like pastebin.org or somewhere.

fringe salmon
#

well i tried a few times

#

do you want the whole thing?

pine kite
#

updated earlier message.

fringe salmon
#

that's the entire file

pine kite
#

Well, it's the start of it anyway. Not sure the end of it is part of it. Can you verify with a text editor like Notepad++ (handles large files better than basic Windows Notepad)

fringe salmon
#

that's the whole rpt file in there

#

start and end of file matches up correctly

#

wait i think i found the issue, will update in 5 mieks

#

mikes*

#

still working on it ^

pine kite
#

Maybe that is the entire file, but it does seem to be truncated though. Seems like the server crashed and didn't have time to finish the RPT file with it's shutdown.

#

Get your dedicated server working and verified with no mods first. Then slowly add up mods that are known and tested by yourself to be working. Don't add them all in a bunch at the same time.

#

And start with known good missions.

fringe salmon
#

I think what the problem is, that in the server config file, i removed a line which kept forcing an old mission to be loaded all the time, because everything worked well previously, i presumed it was mod related though as we updated one of our mods and its local on the box so i didnt update the pbos on it

pine kite
#

Well, it talks of various mods where it is missing a semicolon or misplaced curly bracket. Might still be badly written mods you are using. From what I understand by those that are privy to Arma 3 SQF-code that can mess up compiling badly.

mossy robin
#

anyone can help me with the Status_acces_violation error?i removed my mods and it still crashes

pine kite
#

Then there is something wrong with the install of Arma 3, or your operating system.

#

Or hardware

#

Part of the error message is suggestion on posting it on the feedback tracker if I remember correctly. When you supply the needed information they may be able to tell more about the cause.

hey guys does anyone know how i can permanently set view distance in my server?

#

I've got a view distance line in the basic cfg but it doesn't seem to do anything

#

we're having to use admin commands to set it which would be fine if it didn't revert back to the default view distance every so often

wet nimbus
#

nevermind i just figured out that the mission we're using is adjusting it.

pine kite

viewdistance is part of the server profile

not basic.cfg

Hi Guys, I hoping you guys can help or at least know someone that can i was running Arma 3 as part of a starsim unit on my now old pc. Few frame issues graphics not brilliant etc but it ran, occasionally would lag so much it would crash or a few alt tabs in and out would just give me black screen and force a end task command through task manager. Now i have a new PC, (i can provide the full specs) but i9 11th gen, 3090, 32gb of RAM etc and since getting into arma with our mod list, game looks beautiful everything is smooth and no issues what so ever.. until it hits a random freeze and the game just crashes out. If any one can help please send me a DM as this is driving me insane not being able to use my new PC properly! Cheers

IIRC you need to take an extra step on the ACR DLC. Follow this guide maybe
https://steamcommunity.com/app/33930/discussions/1/558756256520613453/

Lately I bught Arma2 Complete Collection, but installing ACR DLC properly turned out to be very frustrating. The solution could be found online partly, and I did my reserch to nail it down. I only try this on Win8.1, so I mentioned it in the title, but I think OS was irrelevant to my case.Hope this post can help you. First, about "!!!

#

First of all go to your A2 OA Steam Installation (X:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\arma 2 Operation Arrowhead). Search for DLCSetup\ACR folder and make a backup copy of "datacachepreprocessor.exe". Then copy "datacachepreprocessor.exe" from DLCSetup\BAF (Or PMC) and overwrites it with ACR's one. Then start the "datacachepreprocessor.exe"...

Single monitor. 1920x1080 native resolution. I would like to run arma in fullscreen windowed mode and in 1680x1050 but it wont allow me. Is there any way to achieve this besides going fullscreen?

uncut trellis
#

fullscreen window can not change its resolution

#

since its tied to the screen resolution

#

you can reduce sampling though

#

or do you mena like you would like black borders around your screen?

still ridge
#

preferably no black borders

uncut trellis

well you could not do that either

but Im just trying to understand why

1920 hurts my eyes so i would like to be able to play at 1680 which i know works great for me. I could do it in fullscreen but alt tabbin is a pain so i was wondering if there is a workaround

uncut trellis
#

reduce sampling could make same effect

still ridge
#

I ll try lowering the sampling and changing desktop resolution

#

desktop resolution could help too yeah

#

Thank you very much for you time HorribleGoat!

uncut trellis
#

np. good luck!

pine kite
#

Choose a 1680 resolution that has the same aspect ratio as 1920x whatever you have. The GPU should scale it. But if might be less crisp.

#

The resolution list shows the aspect ratio at the end.

#

1600x900 should fit

Still can't host my server looks like. I made sure 2302-2306 in UDP are open.

you need to make sure first that your WAN address / external IP uses the IPv4 protocol!
Confirmed.
you need to manually open / forward the ports 2302-2306 UDP
Also confirmed.

What it could be? What am I missing?

@steady hawk do you have the steam ports open too?

Everytime i load up arma3, It gives me a black screen then i just have to restart my pc.

go to ..\documents\arma 3 or ..\documents\arma 3 other profiles
backup all files that end on *.Arma3Profile
delete all files that end on *.Arma3Profile
restart the game

#

report what happens

steady hawk
patent kettle
#

you can't IIRC. You should check with your ISP.

#

Hm, you should be able to check via comparing your pubic IP and your WAN IP

#

Do you have an access to your router?

steady hawk
#

Yes

patent kettle
#

If so check the WAN IP

#

If they're different you're behind ISP NAT

steady hawk
#

The same it seems, if what I see is what you say

Then IDK, try temporarily disabling your windows firewall to confirm it's not causing the issues.

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.

Is there anyone available that can do my port forwarding via my router for me?

I know what I need to do but I have no clue how to actually do it on my router.

I'd really appreciate the help.

To clarify - I am not looking for instructions on how to do port forwarding. I'm asking if somebody would be kind enough as to take physical control of my computer via TeamViewer or hop into a discord call with me and physically tell me where I need to go. I've followed the steps on the website but I have no clue where to go in my router.

Thank you again in advance!

#

Just another thing to add to this - I'm confused because my router uses Port Triggering and not Port Forwarding

compact yoke
#

Two different things, there should be another section that has Port Forwarding somewhere else on your router

#

It can be in some wacky places

fringe salmon
compact yoke
#

You're confident that you have explored every section of your router's settings

fringe salmon
#

There's a search option for me to search for what settings I want in my router, upon entering "Port" into the search, I only get Port Triggering

compact yoke
#

That's wack

fringe salmon
#

It's under NAT Forwarding as an entire damn categorized section that lists (in this order)

ALG

Virtual Severs

Port Triggering

DMZ

UPnP

compact yoke
#

Haven't messed with port triggering before, so I am definitely not going to try to break your shit today. I'm sure someone here knows how to use it.

fringe salmon
#

Thanks for the help, anyway

#

I'm trying to get an arma 3 server set up and... Well without ports... Might be a little useless lmfao

#

I'm gonna set up the server anyway and I might get lucky and not have to forward the ports because this isn't my ISP's router, it's a gaming one I bought off amazon. So it might already have the ports 'forwarded' or just allow ALL ports to be access inbound and outbound by default, so wouldn't need an option to change them with

make sure you have the game running in fullscreen windowed mode. some error messages hide "behind" the game and disappear once the game is force closed

yeah it freezes and stops responding but the mouse works when I enter the server browser
it's running Fs-window rn, nothing appears

what do you mean the mouse works?

ingame cursor won't work when its frozen

since when does it happen?

the pointer moves, the ingame one, but the rest of it is frozen

it worked fine for my op last saturday, then I could use the editor yesterday, but IG since the GM update

I just don't see why it'd semi-freeze

I'll try it, thx

Because it is here no more

Not even a big fight either

#

Like 4 guys

steady hawk

Make sure:
Using correct device to listen
Try empty mission and shoot

fresh spoke
#

It works fine when you have one person, it's when you have like 4 and guns are going off your gun cuts out

#

This is vanilla, just want to point that out

steady hawk
#

Then verify the game I think

fresh spoke
#

Alright, I will try that

#

Will that fix an audio issue in the game?

#

Like, need to know the issue first right?

steady hawk
#

IDK. Maybe maybe not

fresh spoke
#

Any way to increase the sound source then, maybe mine is set to like really low or something

steady hawk
#

That's the go-to solution if a strange issue happens

#

As the quote above, sound sources does nothing, Dedmen says

fresh spoke
#

So there is no limit to how many sounds should be playing on this game then?
If that's the case then I do have an issue then.
I will verify, if it does not work, do I submit a bug report or something?

steady hawk
#

Maybe. Make sure it is not a mission dependent issue

fresh spoke
#

How would I find that out?

#

I'm playing East Wind campaign at the moment

steady hawk
#

Try empty mission and shoot

fresh spoke
#

I did, and it works fine

#

No sound cuts off when I am the only one

#

That's not the issue I am having

#

Only when a few people are engaged in a firefight does my gun stop making sound

#

Not when I am on my own

fresh spoke
#

Did a verify of the files, still the same issue with campaign missions

fresh spoke
steady hawk
#

Try 3.5 audio

fresh spoke
steady hawk
#

3.5mm jack

fresh spoke
#

Just a USB stick

steady hawk
#

Try another audio device I said

fresh spoke
#

I don't have another pair of headphones on hand

#

I don't keep spares of things like that

steady hawk
#

You can use speaker perhaps

fresh spoke
#

Computer does not have a speaker

steady hawk
#

Whatever. If it is, I guess that's the issue. Arma 3 just doesn't like USB Audio for some reason

fresh spoke
#

Any patch we can see to fix that if that is a known issue?

steady hawk

Known. Dedmen is searching for the solution I heard

fresh spoke

Ok

I seem to have encoutered a rare problem with Old Man scenario. It won't start properly. When I launch it from the Scenarios tab, the intro plays as intended. Keystone's dialogue subtitles are displayed correctly, but I can only see a black screen, in the middle of which is the white dot pointer which I should use for interactions. I am asked to press the Space bar to continue, and if I do, I find out I am in the middle of the ocean (probably at grid [000, 000]?), I do not have control and cannot do anything.
I have tried deleting all Old Man tagged .pbos and .bisigns from my game folder and have Steam verify the game cache and download it again. Nothing changed.
No mods loaded. I can play any other scenario and campaign just fine.
Any idea as to how I can fix this? I have been playing the game for years and have played Old Man prior to formatting my PC with no problems whatsoever.

Frequently answered troubleshooting

I got a CTD and an error code

You can refer a Wiki article Arma 3: Unusual process exit: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_process_exit

Steam redownloads every Arma 3 Mods

It is a Steam issue.
I can recommend this forum post: https://steamcommunity.com/app/107410/discussions/1/135510194254064583/

“Contact the server admin” it says something with the keys?

This means Mods you've loaded is not accepted by the server.
It is recommended to use Launcher's Server Browser which allows you to adjust Mods easily.

Nobody hears me in VOIP/VON?

Usually because your Microphone is not set default in Windows.
Get to Audio Settings and change your default microphone.

The cloud file provider is not responding.

Arma 3 hates Cloud file saving. Disable OneDrive likely fixes it.

Some or all soldier animations are not working it seems, even in vanilla game

Sometimes Arma 3's animation cache can be corrupted despite the animations are no longer available because you unload the Mods that adds some animations.
You can delete the folder AnimDataCache that is located in Profile folder (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Profile) and it is safe to delete, no backup is needed.

You cannoy play/edit this mission, when I try to play a mission.

The dependency Mods are not loaded in your game.
Load the corresponded Mods and try again.

If you're sure that something is broken on Arma 3

Hi, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Yesterday I installed CUPS Terrains and after some point I was getting an infinite loading screen whenever trying to test the mission in the editor. This was not immediately after getting CUPS, but some time afterwards. Tested a bunch with and without mods and on older missions that were working, same thing.

Now I just tried testing on a mission we have on our server, with the server modset. Works perfectly. But if I download the pbo from the server and run the mission locally either in SP or hosted MP, with the same modset, then I get the infinite loading screen. I even reinstalled the game and still get the same thing.

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”

Arma 3 couldn't care less about IPv6. It's just that you need to have a public IPv4 address that is unique on the internet, as in not shared with other of their clients. But the IPv4 traffic should not be tunneled over the IPv6 traffic.

You don't have any control on what IPv4 address you get nor can you change it beyond switching ISP. Check if the sites like whatsmyip.com report a different IPv4 address than the WAN address your router reports. If it is different then you are out of luck. Change internet serviceprovider. And choose one that provides a unique IPv4 address on the internet. (And that allows port forwarding in your router)

Hello everyone. I need some help with a problem I have. I made a mission with and I added a lot of holdActions in there. The way I crate them is the following:

In initServer.sqf I call an execVM to execute a script. In this script I use remoreExec(Call) to create the holdAction to the appropriate players. In Local host everything works really fine! In a dedicated server environment, only the holdActions that are "remoteExec(Call)"-ed on a numbered id (like -2 for everyone except the server) work. On the other holdActions I use the line: allPlayers select {side _x isEqualTo _side} (where _side, is the side that I want to have the holdAction and is passed as an argument to the script).

On the RPT, I get a line that says "trying to remoteExec(Call) the "bis_fnc_holdActionAdd" to 0 objects, maximum 1000"... I understand that because, when the initServer.sqf runs, no players exist in-game. My problem though is that I have set the "JIP" for the remoteExec(Call) to *true which (if understand it correctly) will put the whole call of the function to JIP Que so when someone joins and is a player of the appropriate side, it will be executed.

Have I understood something wrong?

Can someone provide some help with this?

Thanks in advance!
