So, I'm new to GCAM and getting a problem.

#

The controls are really sensitive and if I hold left click to pan the camera it pans stutter y and very slowly.

#

anyone know anyone fixes about it?/

left topaz
#

My game keeps saying I have mods loaded so it won't let me go on any servers. Anyone know how to fix it? (I uninstalled and reinstalled but it did nothing)

uncut trellis
#

Have you manually installed mods to Arma 3/addons folder? <~ very bad

#

Use the launcher server browser so it can manage your mods before startup.

The first picture is that

#

Clearly you do.

#

Show picture of your A3 folder and check again that Arma 3/addons folder

#

And check if you have any custom launch parameters

#

And check that the Arma 3\ !workshop folder is empty

ArmA 3 folder

wise barn
#

Make a Screenshot of the addons folder content please

#

Also disable hidden folders in windows so you can see the workshop folder

#

Addons folder

uncut trellis
#

do you have some launch parameters set in the launcher?

#

also did you toggle the hidden folder visibility so you can see inside the !workshop folder?

Yes but it wasn't there

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.

#

@left topaz you say you dont have launch parameters set

left topaz
#

Yes

uncut trellis
#

but your rpt says you have launch parameters set

left topaz
#

Oh

uncut trellis
quaint jewel
#

Check in your launcher under parameters

left topaz
#

Yep I've just reset them now

uncut trellis
#

:L

#

this is why I asked

left topaz
#

Sorry

#

Its still saying I have mods loaded when I go into the server menu though

uncut trellis
#

do you join server through the launcher server browser

left topaz
#

I tried both ways and it just locked me onto the stratis loading screen both times

uncut trellis
#

perhaps your game files are corrupted? have you validated your game files?

#

also since you have unsubcribed it woudl be good idea to manually clear the workshop folder

#

since it clearly is not empty

left topaz
#

Is the workshop folder in the main arma 3 folder?

left topaz
uncut trellis
#

no mods are loaded so thats good

#

which server are you trying to join?

left topaz
#

55th Delta #1

#

All the officials work but not that one

uncut trellis
#

what does the server browser join /mod setup screen show you?

left topaz
#

Whenever I try to load in it just stays like this or stays blank with Stratis in the background

#

Nvm it's worked it was just extremely laggy

uncut trellis
#

ah

#

πŸ‘

#

then seems like you are good to go

#

Thanks a tonne for your time helping me to sort out my ArmA

Verify your Arma 3 install through Steam

Steam file verification process:
Right Click on game -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity of game files

Hi all - Apologies for the really really broad query, but has anyone experienced any significant FPS issues since the ACE/ACRE/CUP update?

#

I've currently got issues with operations grinding down to sub 5 FPS for select players

#

I'm just trying to isolate exactly what's causing it. The above are the only things that have changed since the last event

sudden acorn
#

So, I always asked myself, if it is only happening to me:
I cannon't completely save my graphics and my language settings in Arma 3. It only saves parts of the graphics settings such as ViewDistance but not the resolution or the settings such as HDR.
Same thing applies to the language settings, I cannot change it to English, it will just be stuck on German.
I've created a new profile, also have tried using the launcher settings to already load the profile (also happens without it)
I am on base Arma 3 without any mods, also no Parameter changes besides the mentioned above with the profile and that it skips the logo.

#

How does someone force mods to update manually? A friend of mine's arma isn't updating their mods

candid cedar
#

@fringe salmon
go to the mod folder
delete all the shit inside
then verify the mod
normally works for me

fringe salmon
candid cedar
#

Sometimes if you try to connect to the server it will tell you which are up to date and which arnt

#

Then from that information you only delete the files of the mods that arnt up to date

fringe salmon
candid cedar
#

Make sure the servers up

#

Try to update the ones you know and try to join is the only way i can think of doing it @fringe salmon

Hi all - I posted about this last night but there wasn't a whole lot of information available so I'll try again now that I've gathered some more information. Basically last night we had an op, where after about 2 hours of gameplay, for select players, ArmA just dropped to 1-2 frames and seemingly started aggressively loading and unloading textures and switching LODs. Uniforms started freaking out etc.

It wasn't for everyone, probably a hand full of people, most weren't running any clientside mods. Our modpack is pretty basic and just consisted of ACE, ACRE and CUP.

#

That's an example of what it looked like for someone

#

I'm aware that it's unlikely anyone has the answer off hand - but how on earth do we go about troubleshooting this?

#

We changed maps and missing files, condition didn't improve. Restarting the game didn't make a difference either, once they got in after a few seconds it would happen again

#

Another example:

uncut trellis
#

if it kept happening consitently on same people perhaps some sort of hardware failure

golden nova
#

is there any mod cap for Launcher to show? After reaching ~900 subscribed mods, the launcher stopped working and each time I try, it returns an error prompt with something like this in the crash log:

   w System.ThrowHelper.ThrowInvalidOperationException(ExceptionResource resource)
   w System.Collections.Generic.Queue`1.Enumerator.MoveNext()
   w System.Linq.Enumerable.Any[TSource](IEnumerable`1 source)
   w Launcher.Steam.LauncherSteamFacade.SteamApiRunnerOnBeforeTick(Object sender, EventArgs eventArgs)
   w Utils.EventHandleExtensions.Raise(EventHandler handler, Object obj, EventArgs args)

   w System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state)
   w System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart()```
#

I had to translate the "the collection was [...]" part from Polish as the error was shown in PC native language

#

900 mods, are you crazy?

fringe salmon
#

Ok, which ACE mod has to go?

pine kite
#

Start with all of them, check if that solves the issue. Then put back one mod at a time until it borks up again.

You'll have to make a close up of the rendering artefact. Because that screenshot is quite vague due to image compression and distance to the terrain. I have no idea what you are hinting at. Other than knowing what the ATOC issue looks like. I can't see it in that image.

Launcher mods not updating automatically : 'Force Download' button doesn't activate sometimes, so . . .

Yes, you can manually force a mod update :
In Launcher mod list > select the mod in question > click on the three dots on the right > click Repair.
This should update the mod manually.

I never remember the specifics but it had something to do with the usb audio drivers and some win 10 update that did something

Anyone know why some AI display as "Empty" in Zeus? I can't seem to find a pattern to it happening and it's occured sporadically for the past month or two in our server across several modpacks. Happens both with and without Headless Clients, and with/without dynamic simulation. "Empty" AI still react to danger and shoot enemies (except for one time where they bugged out on a HC but that's only happened once), but do not belong to a group and cannot be ordered around.

Mods: Many, but mostly the big ones like ACE, LAMBS, CUP, etc. Also happened in our previous 40k modpack (that also had ace and lambs) and to some extent in modpacks before that.

Second screenshot is of the attributes of one such empty AI.

Anyways to fix port forwarding failed when im tryin to make a server to play zeus

#

Yes, get into your router and configure port forwarding according to it's manual or help section (assuming it exists). The checkmark in the game does nothing if UPnP is not enabled in the router itself.

#

I already did that so that i can play with my best friend on sog and apex but when its normal server it doesnt work

Then the issue is something else. Not related to UPnP or port forwarding.

UPnP or portforwarding in your router doesn't do anything different for mods or DLC.

this is basically the last snip of the rpt, all the rpt seems ok until this section which claims content from vanilla game is missing, im testing literally a empty MP VR scenario with 2 units just to check if a player can connect, but keep getting this error and server shutdown by itself

hi, having an issue with a server where zeus loses the ability to place modules after a random duration of time, and anybody that has been promoted loses access to zeus. I have no idea where to start, any help would be appreciated

livid warren
#

im desperate for some help got arma 3 recently and my pc is able to handle the game but im getting huge fps drops pls help

uncut trellis
#

what are you doing when the drops happen? do you play in MP? Do you have mods running?

livid warren
#

no mods and im in a campaign mission happens during fights out of fights whenever its just random @uncut trellis

uncut trellis
#

is your game installed on SSD or HDD and is it internal (desktop/laptop) or external (USB)

livid warren
#

is a desktop and installed on a external usb hdd

uncut trellis
#

the external usb is probably the cause. it slows down disk read and Arma needs quite a lot of reading from disk

livid warren
#

oh ok ill try to move it appreciate the help thank you

uncut trellis
#

if you can, put it on SSD, that has been known to help with performance

I'm guessing you're aware you can expand the missions with the little arrow under the campaign? I'd probably just restart at the beginning of your desired mission if you can

there is a cheat you can enter to unlock all the missions if you can't find a way to load your save or mission
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Cheats

otherwise I think saves are tied to your profile, if it gets corrupted you can lose saves, if you made a new profile you can change it back and get your saves back

Do you β€œhave” to have Bought and installed Apex ? To play

Ok, when I start apex and then go to a server and it sticks on loading screen + there’s a soft bing sound in the background and nothing happens ?!

where do you start Apex?

From steam, then the dashboard/launcher then the multiplayer menu

so you are joining a server

can you get the server name here?

No, doesn’t join - get ping pong sound and freezes on a stratis map loading screen

Here's a kicker, maybe one of yall have run into this.
I made a mission, set up everything the way I like it, and tested as multiplayer. Great, she works, including respawning at HQ on death.
I load her onto my dedicated server, test her out. Everything works until death, when I respawn where I died.
I load her back into eden. Looky looky, respawning at HQ.
I load it in a peer to peer lobby from within the game, respawning at HQ.
I load it back onto my dedicated, respawn where I die.

I have scoured for settings, tried different mod load orders, anything and everything to fix this, but I am stumped.
My unit and I would be greatly appreciative if anyone can lend a hand.

Instead of spamming the channel with unrelated stuff you should explain what exactly you need help with

or in case you have no actual Arma related issue you can either clean up after yourself or moderators are likely to remove you

your choice how you continue from here. My advice, dont be an idiot.

Self explanatory, you missed RHSGREF to join

winter owl

But I had RHSGREF loaded into my modlist

#

do i need to load certain mods first?

steady hawk
#

Load order doesn't fix it in the MOST of the time

winter owl
#

if i were to load the mods in a different order, is it the top or bottom of the list that loads mods first?

uncut trellis
#

could be some other mod that breaks it

or something wrong with the mod setup on the server

winter owl
#

any way to find out what mod is breaking it

Removing the Mods half by half I guess

winter owl

start by launching only the RHS mods to see if they work

run only RHS mods, no ACE, no additions

then start adding stuff back to see what works and what not

what do i do when i find out which mod is causing the issues?

can try notifying the author if a fix can be made

hello, something seems to be wrong with my game. I don't have any mods installed. I'm playing the standard build, but when I got to EDEN and place down one OPFOR tank, the T100 or whatever, and then the standard NATO tank, they just don't attack each other

#

like, I even played as drivers for both and they definitely say "contact" and know they are there

#

but like, they won't attack each other

wise barn
#

make sure you place them with crew

hidden radish
#

yup, they have crew

#

if I get out of the tank, the T100 kills me with the machine gun

#

if I'm playing as the NATO tank

#

I was so desperate I reinstalled the game even, and no change

uncut trellis
#

if tou play for example the tanks showcase or the campaign

#

does that work?

hidden radish
#

Good idea. Let me try the tanks showcase

#

I placed the T140K and it engaged my tank with its smaller gun, i.e. not the main cannon

#

Which I guess worked out for it because it fires explosives or something

wise barn
#

no issue here.
placed down the slammer and the T100 with 150m in between. both facing each other.
placed a civ as player and tested it.
both tanks engage with main canon

hidden radish
#

Right, I figure it probably works for everyone else. I'm playing the tanks showcase now

#

In the tanks showcase, when you join the platoon like right at the beginning, are the other tanks in your platoon supposed to start driving?

#

Because mine are just sitting there doing nothing

wise barn
#

you have to command it with WSAD

hidden radish
#

No, I am commanding the tank

#

I mean the other tanks in the platoon

wise barn
#

you have to follow them

hidden radish
#

Like I can command it around just fine

#

They aren't moving

#

So there's me in a slammer. There are two other slammers and an APC. None are moving

#

I'm circling them

maiden ingot
hidden radish
#

I'm thinking something has happened to my game to cause the tanks to bork

wise barn
#

@hidden radish did you get a task complete after arriving at the platoon location?

hidden radish
#

Yes

#

I've now got the task to seize Molos

wise barn
#

also a save game?

hidden radish
#

Yup

wise barn
#

then wait till the chatter ends and the leading tank will start driving

hidden radish
#

I've been waiting here since uhh for ~8 min now

#

I think the chatter is done and they should be driving but they're not

#

I'm blowing up random houses while I wait for them

wise barn
#

idk

#

restart the mission?

uncut trellis
#

@hidden radish are the other tanks under your command?

hidden radish
#

I don't think so

wise barn
#

no

hidden radish
#

I promise I'm not making this up. This is so strange and I can't possible imagine what's causing it lol

#

For context: I've got 1000 hours in this game and have played it for years. I just booted it up for the first time in about a year and this is where I'm at

#

I've never had this issue before

#

Validated the game files, rebooted my machine. Last night I had already totally reinstalled it

Very confused

Gonna try updating my computer and drivers and stuff

Try this. Looks that's not normal

like some goggles form RHS mod

bronze stream
#

do I take off the mod?

uncut trellis
#

you can not join servers with mods loaded

#

you can only use mods that the server uses

#

if it uses any

#

so either you had extra mods loaded or did not have correct mods loaded when you connected to the game

steady hawk
#

The game itself doesn't load any RHS pbos so looks like you've tried to join into a server which has RHS

bronze stream
#

alr

steady hawk
#

Yeah CUP too...

#

Did you really tried to join into an official server?

uncut trellis
#

when you join servers with the launchers server browser this screen should pop up

it shows you if you can use mods or if you have to unload mods etc

#

then you just hit the yellow button

wise barn
#

won't work

#

"you where kicked off the game"

bronze stream
#

Why am I being kicked off though?

wise barn

because you can not join servers with random mods loaded

I turned off my mods

wise barn
#

your loaded mods must be the same as the server mods

steady hawk
wise barn
#

in addition to POLPOX' question:
did you ever manually install mods and if so, where did you put them?

bronze stream
#

I downloaded them from where my boss told me to, then I moved the download from the file into the in game mod section

#

at the launcher

steady hawk
wise barn
#

then I moved the download from the file into the in game mod section
then the game root folder addons?

steady hawk
#

He meant the Launcher's Mods section

#

I guess

wise barn
#

just making sure that you have never put any files in this folder

bronze stream
#

no

#

nope

#

never did

wise barn
#

ok, that's a very good sign.
some dipshits tell their players to do so which is the worst to do

#

because, whatever mod is in that folder will be loaded at game launch

bronze stream
#

oh my god man

#

the thing keeps saying "You were kicked off the game"

#

like a message and then I have to close it

steady hawk
bronze stream

I went to unsubscribe for all the mods

at this points its getting trifling

steady hawk
#

Once again, tried the above?

I don't know how to get there

im doing what it says but for arma 3 I cannot see the files

Unsubscribed to all the mods, removed them, but then this keeps happening.

wise barn
#

do all servers on your list have a ping that high?

bronze stream
#

sort of

#

why?

wise barn

many servers have a max ping restriction in place. if your ping is too high you will get kicked

mostly anything above 500ms

it's not cheap for sure, 499,- on time payment for the hardware is quite a slap, but 99,-/month for it is acceptable imo.
you can get up to 100 Mpbs and more download and up to 50 Mpbs upload while the ping is normally well under 30ms.
oh, and no data cap.

my laptop doesnt have anything for arma in its outbound firewall rules and i cant connect to my server and I have a feeling these 2 are related

is there any way to restore default arma networking/firewall settings?

pine kite
#

Outbound is unrestricted in Windows. Inbound however is not. You would need to have a rule that allows traffic to come in to your laptop. But also in the router. It too will block inbound traffic. Where exactly, in what network, is the server located?

valid belfry
#

yeh someone told me there should be outbound rules but gonna ignore that

#

Ok, hetzner means it is on the internet. No problem.

#

In the Windows firewall you may need to allow Arma 3 to access the private and public network. It is a pop-up that comes up when an application needs internet access the first time. And by ignoring that the application gets denied access.

#

connecting locally and over externally it fails

#

In the Windows Defender Firewall screen in Control panel you can edit the settings for specific apps. If you find any Arma 3 related lines then you can remove those. Next time you start the Arma 3 launcher or game it should ask again. There are no other complicated network settings needed for Arma 3.

Thanks for programming Tanks to hit Spawn points

civic thunder
#

even though I have set up 6 respawn points in eden I'm still spawning in the ocecan (bottom left corner of the map) anyone knows how to fix that?

#

also when I try to respawn it doesn't even show me the screen to select a respawn point and I have select respawn location enabled

This same Tank is now stuck in the ground and an AT Turret can't pop him Top Down or Straight

Hi, we have a strange problem with the CVA-31 Bon Homme Richard mod, which I also noticed on the Nimitz mod from time to time. When a player is spawned on the carrier, there seems to be at times a duplication in res lods (at least). This is visible on animated parts, like the davit in this screenshot: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/846117448938684517/905833608340717588/Arma3_x64_2021-11-04_15-53-52-513.jpg?width=1678&height=944 Any ideas what's going on and how to make sense of it? This issue does not always happen, it's sort of elusive

patent kettle
#

are you sure it's not duplicated object?

jaunty cedar
#

nearestObjects shows only one of each carrier part

#

nearestObjects [player, [], 500]; yielded only 1 of each carrier parts

#

I first encountered this with the Nimitz when I made it moving for testing purposes. if I'd spawn on a part, this part might get duplicated and stay behind when moving the rest of the CV. Kind of astonished to see this now on BHR as well

#

Game just randomly crashes for no apparent reason, seems to only happen when I'm playing with a specific community, so I am guessing it's their modset. No indication for what it could be in game or in the rpt log, what would be a good way to check it without removing all the mods one by one?

#

Crash sometimes happens after a few minutes of playing, sometimes right as I join the server, and anything inbetween

Looked at the pinned messages. I'm having mic issues. I'm playing on a KOTH server, but I cannot be heard. Yes I'm on the correct voice channel, yes my microphone is the default mic. Yes its a usb mic, but its the only option. Is there any fixes? I would like to help communicate with my team.

uncut trellis
#

your mic set up as default in steams settings too? @radiant hollow

radiant hollow
#

I've seen that online. But I cant understand where to find that.

uncut trellis
#

open steam, open settings in the top bar menus

radiant hollow
#

Yea I was in there but couldnt find anything about mic settings

uncut trellis
#

huh has it been moved

#

ah

#

way to go steam

#

its in the friends screen

#

open the friends list and theres a cog in the top right

radiant hollow
#

omg i love you

uncut trellis
radiant hollow
#

it still isnt working. but gonna reset steam and arma after this game and check back

uncut trellis
#

oh thought you meant it worked crycat

radiant hollow
#

I felt really good about it lmao

uncut trellis
#

have you tried the auto adjust tool in arma audio settings?

#

just to see if it can pick up your mic

radiant hollow
#

I set the mic in steam, and did the auto adjust tool in arma. It does it test. and adjust's the bar. But I still cannot be heard

yeah seems like it

eh my cba is broken

#

the main menu is really screwed up

#

i disabled it and it works just fine

@stray jetty
To manually repair an individual mod :
From the Arma Launcher mods list, click on the suspect mod, goto the three dots on the right, open and choose 'repair'.

To check all your mods (and all Arma game files) at once:
Search internet for "Arma 3 how to verify local cache"

This last method may take up to 15 minutes . . .

@stray jetty

Found my write up :

How to verify your Arma 3 game files :

This is good to do every so often and is recommended after significant updates such as Arma Game Updates or very important mods such as CBA_A3, ACE, ALiVE or TFAR, ect.

To do a 'Verify integrity of game files...' it is located in Steam Library : right click Arma 3 > Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game files... .
Sometimes verifying the game files takes several minutes and may even appear to 'hang' at 99% . . . just let it run, it will finish.
Allow maybe 5-15 minutes (usually five) for this action.
You may see Arma do a 'validating/downloading' also after this action. ( Even though it may be validating a few hundred Gig, it should only take ~5 minutes )

hi here, is it possible to connect an headless client to a listen server ?

#

i can connect my headless client to my local dedicated with battleye, i can connect my client to a public server on the internet with battleye, BUT i CAN'T get my headless client connect to my listen local hosted server with battleye, i have battleyelicence =1 in my headlessclient profile , anybody ??

#

no more success without battlEye, it's driving me crazy ...

#

headlessclient get kicked for steam auth failed ...

scarlet creek
#

afaik, you can't use a HC on a listen server

digital echo
#

whhhhy ?!!!

#

it was possible on arma 2

scarlet creek
#

The server doesn't allow arbitrary connections from headless clients if you do not define the headless clients IPs in the server.cfg

digital echo
#

yes

#

youre right

#

i have added
headlessClients[] ={"127.0.0.1"};
localClient[] ={"127.0.0.1"};

to my dedicated server.cfg , but where do i add this for a listen server ?

scarlet creek
#

server.cfg doesn't exist for a listen server

digital echo
#

seriously ?

#

why such limitations ?

scarlet creek
#

i mean, you can attempt to launch your game with the -config option pointing to your .cfg but its typically only for when launching a DS

digital echo
#

i have tried

#

youre right again no effect

scarlet creek
#

just run a dedicated on the same machine

digital echo
#

i want the vanilla savegame option ...

#

and its not available on a dedi

with arma launching*

@old coral you will need to state your problem in detail. also please do not post same question on multiple channels

old coral
#

ok sorry i thought id post here as that channel might be wrong

#

so basically i used to play arma 3 normaly through steam. somone recomended i get A3launcher. ive done everything right downloaded all mods etc but i keep getting this weird error a3_data_f_mod_loadorder cant go into game o rnothing

uncut trellis
#

the standard steam launcher should be sufficient really

#

unless you for some reason need to use mods that are not on workshop

#

could also be some mod breaks the game

#

or it is quite likely

old coral
#

i dont mind if it breaks it i dont mind if it has better mods its just my mate plays on there and alot of people recomend it it also has more modes of gameplay

uncut trellis
#

the launcher itself should not be cause of stuff breaking

#

but some mod you downloaded likely is

old coral
#

ok
