[uncut trellis]

you need to calm down

[plain rapids]

what does he mean then

[dusty ore]

It worked?

[plain rapids]

it just redownloaded it to the !workshop folder

[uncut trellis]

deleting the shortcuts just causes them to be remade after

[plain rapids]

Lol at least we are getting somewhere

[rotund panther]

Would I need to repair cup terrains core, or cup terrains maps

[uncut trellis]

boht

[steady hawk]

And/or

[rotund panther]

alr, Imma try fixing core first

[plain rapids]

anyone have an idea?

about the old files

I'm confused

[dusty ore]

Enter the server

[plain rapids]

it showed me this

[dusty ore]

Close the launcher
Open the launcher
Find the server
and show here this screen

[plain rapids]

okay

[dusty ore]

there is any red line (not green)? Roll down.

[plain rapids]

no red oddly

[dusty ore]

my last try

show this folder:

[dusty ore]

show this folder:

[rotund panther]

lemme check if it's fixed

[dusty ore]

!Workshop@CBA_A3\addons

[plain rapids]

my res is bad doesn't allow me to show it all in one photo

[dusty ore]

@brave hawk see? He have 2 pbo signatures.

[plain rapids]

Whew you found it!

[dusty ore]

Man, you have not deleted the CBA folder as i asked you.

[plain rapids]

how to fix it?

oh i feel like an idiot

[dusty ore]

wait

[plain rapids]

okay so now what? delete that folder? oh okayt

[dusty ore]

no

[plain rapids]

Okay 😄

[dusty ore]

delete all those 3.15.2.201119 small files

none can stay

or delete all the files in that folder

you decide

[plain rapids]

lol I delete them all much easier

delete these selected ones?

[dusty ore]

yes

[plain rapids]

just quadrouple checking lol

[dusty ore]

them repair the mod and show me the folder again

[plain rapids]

Lol I'm starting to name these paint files random things it's building up in space

I got it this time?

[dusty ore]

are you reading me? ☝️

[plain rapids]

okay how do I repair the mod

I feel like a idiot

[dusty ore]

Repair the mod and try again

I need to go

[plain rapids]

so close trying to avoid messing up these last steps where is the repair mod

[dusty ore]

Bye! Good luck!

[plain rapids]

thanks

anyone know how to repair a mod

[steady hawk]

!steamverify

[rustic eagle]

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

[steady hawk]

^this

[plain rapids]

thanks 😄

@dusty ore

they are all back again

there is no fix for me 😦

can someone show me this folder of theres?

and see if all these random files are there

why does it generate these

Dabels has Arma 3 Jan 4, 2018 @ 1:37am
<solved> so there was a glitch where old files were not being deleted with the updates of the mods. This meant that he had to unsubscribe from his mods, manually delete the mod folders and all relevant files from the !workshop sub-folder, then resubscribe. So far so good. Good luck!

leaving this here and trying it

and trying a different server at the same time

just wanna see it work so I can sleep in peace

[pine kite]

May be. But you have something extra the server doesn't want you to have. It's either you have something (some mod or part of Ace zeus fire related) enabled by yourself more than that preset states. Or the server admin messed up and didn't add that addon despite it being in the preset he made public to you.

[plain rapids]

😄

[pine kite]

Your router does not respond to the automatic UPnP method. It's not enabled in the router likely, or simply not a supported feature. Log in to the router and either enable it, or do a port forward manually to the ports explained in the Arma bot message shown earlier when you asked.

[plain rapids]

I haven't taken my night meds if this works I'm hard shutting down my pc and going to sleep and playing for hours tommorow until it errors out again

[desert nymph]

I've tried that and I'm not sure if I've done it right

this is so confusing man I'm not smart enough for this

all of my other friends have the exact same problem and we can never play servers together

[pine kite]

That is only 1 port you forwarded. You need to do the same for UDP ports 2303, 2304, 2305 and 2306. Or if the user interface allows you to do it as a UDP range 2302-2306.

If you manually port forward I would not place that checkmark in the game. UPnP and manual portforwarding will likely conflict.

It may also be that your ISP provide you with an internet connection that prevents portforwarding working. Some ISP's tunnel IPv4 over IPv6 and somewhere along the line IP addresses get mixed up or traffic over a certain port is ignored.

[plain rapids]

use a port checker to check

[next briar]

bro i have no clue what this is, and it wont leave my screen, even though the game itself in the background is running just fine, is there a way to force this error out of the screen, or fix the error?

[plain rapids]

reload game maybe alt cntrl delete force close game and hope next time it appears you can press ok and keep going with the game or google Arma 3 client has extra addon fix

[pearl sorrel]

Clearly that wont fix a SERVER issue.

[pearl sorrel]

You have an updated ACE but the server does not
OR
You don't have an updated ACE and the server does.

Most likely, the 1st one

^

[lucid kettle]

yeah the server had to update

i beleive

[pearl sorrel]

Most likely.
ACE had an update and many (including myself) were caught out by it.

But a simple thing of telling the server owner/admin should these issues.
Its how I was told of the lacking update.

[drowsy gale]

anyone notice the Achillies mod causing zues to be unable to use NVG

[tawny mauve]

Anyone possibly know what causes the RPT to be spammed with
No player found for channel 2083868136512 - message ignored?

[floral yoke]

Ay guys, I've added 3 mods to my server, I've added both keys and serverconfig command line mod name

and this error pops up when I am trying to join the server

[wise barn]

@floral yoke

1. make sure you've uploaded the same versions as you use it on your PC

2. make sure you've copied the key files to your server's keys folder

3. make sure you are actually loading the mods on your server

(check your RPT files)

[orchid void]

Is there any arsenal mod or other mod known to eat laser designator batteries?
When i load a loadout with my modlist, even if the stuff is vanilla, there´s a chance the laser designator binoculars does not get batteries in it.

I have no idea what caused this.

Seems to have been some weird issue with enhanced arsenal

[compact escarp]

Has anyone experienced issues with an Xbox One controller, where mapping the ADS to left trigger and fire to the right trigger results in the right trigger not working properly? I.e the weapon won’t fire, and if I ADS while trying to fire weapon it cancels out the ADS?

[velvet sentinel]

whenever i launch arma 3 i get this error msg

[velvet sentinel]

help???

[molten badger]

Go onto Steam, right click on ArmA and select properties. Go to browse local files and then click verify integrity of files

[pearl sorrel]

Achilles is longer being worked on.
So could be anything. Most likely another mod is conflicting with NVGs

[pine thistle]

Hello, keep getting session lost X file not found, I redownloaded arma and all the mods I had installed as well. Not sure what else I can do.

[golden nova]

it might be either you not having the @infection mod or it's not loaded on the server and it doesn't let you in

I guess this is the one: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=614815221

[pine thistle]

Understood, will download and try again

[uncut trellis]

use the launcher server browser to join servers so it can set up mods for that server before you join. Much easier to get correct mods running that way

[solid tiger]

excuse me dose anyone know how to import an ace arsenal charterer you made into eden editor

[golden nova]

you can save your ace arsenal setup with Loadouts button (and then load it from the same place) or just click export on the bottom and then import it back on an AI in Eden, it copies the code to your clipboard

[solid tiger]

thx

[unique moss]

question, whenever i try to set a keybind, what happens is for some reason (and im not moving anything), I have a flight stick and whenever I try to bind something, it also binds it with my device if that makes sense.

cant bind shit without it, and its also unplugged

[steady hawk]

Unplug and restart the game?

[unique moss]

i did that lol

first thing I did

[steady hawk]

You can drag the "2x" to the right part of the screen so you can remove it if it helps

[unique moss]

thats not what I need..

I'm trying to bind it to my keybind so when I hit it twice it does something

but for some reason without touching anything it also collects my other devices and thinks they're moving

and I don't know if theres a way the game can just forget them

[steady hawk]

Is there any controllers other than your stick?

[unique moss]

my stick and my wheel but its my stick which its detecting and both are unplugged

[steady hawk]

IIRC there's controllers tab. Make sure the controllers are disabled ingame

[unique moss]

that seemed to work, thank you! also one other thing, in the arma 3 warlords game, if I want to talk on the radio, what bind do I need to bind besides PTT?

[steady hawk]

PTT does "PTT in the current channel" so others are optional

[unique moss]

oh, alright. but isnt ptt just gonna help me talk in game on my surroundings?

because i'm hearing other people on the radio rn

i mean not the radio i assume

[steady hawk]

It can. Change the channel to Direct

[unique moss]

how?

[steady hawk]

< and > to select channel by default

Direct won't show your name to surroundings though

[unique moss]

thank you!

[pine thistle]

I actually did do that, it just didn't load mods I guess? Not sure how, but I have been experiencing this for over a year so it tore me away from playing

[pine thistle]

oddly enough, I was already subscribed to it, should i redownload it?

[golden nova]

well you might, but it says that you don't have this certain pbo loaded when trying to join game. How do you set up your mods when joining the server?

[pine thistle]

Ok i see what you mean, the game wasn't loading the correct mods as you said i had to make sure it didn't ignore the mods required and then load in and now it doesn't boot me but it does get me stuck at loading screen joining server. I take it that is server side and not on my end?

[golden nova]

if you're 100% sure your mods are correct then it's something with the server, I'd contact host so they can check logs if they say anything about your issue

or try another server with similar mods

[pine thistle]

It is most likely on me then, I'll try vanilla then work my way up and see if it works

[solid tiger]

may someone help me, when flying a plane or helicopter i have a weird circle thing that is on my screen to make me look around how do i remove this

[steady hawk]

Options > Game > Gneral > Vehicle Freelook, disable this

[quaint jewel]

You do realize I already told you how to fix it when you asked the exact same thing 6 days ago, right?

[rotund panther]

still get this after repairing CUP terrains core

Trying to load Chernarus

[wise barn]

Run cup core and maps only. No other mod and retry

Does the error persist?

[rotund panther]

Yeah

[wise barn]

Gimme 10min. Currently in the tram

@rotund panther
did you ever put any files into ..\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\addons?

[rotund panther]

Pretty sure I didn't

[wise barn]

ok, just making sure.

since repairing didn't work for you, do as follows:

• unsubscribe from CUP Terrains - Core and Maps
• close the launcher and steam completely
• go to ..\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\107410
• delete (if still existing) the folders 583496184 (core) and 583544987 (maps)
• restart your computer (just to make totally sure)
• launch steam
• resubscribe / redownload to core and maps

[rotund panther]

Alright. I might try just removing the mod file and then repairing the mod

We'll see how that goes

[half garnet]

can anybody help? i online in get 20-40 FPS with 30% Usage on both my gpu and cpu

[quaint jewel]

20-40fps? sounds normal

[half garnet]

normal?

but the game is only using 30% of my gpu and cpu

its barely playable

ryzen 5 3600 and GTX 1660 super

[wise barn]

yes, normal. arma is very sensitive to single core CPU clock and RAM timings and latency

[half garnet]

so i cant fix it?

[quaint jewel]

you can try reducing your view distance, that might help. But not much

[wise barn]

in addition, multiplayer is not the same as multiplayer. FPS also highly depend on mission design and scripting, as well as server configuration

[half garnet]

jeez

im defo not playing with 30fps tho

[wise barn]

then don't, simple as that

[quaint jewel]

I played with below 20fps for over a year. And today my average is like 35..
If you cannot handle that then Arma is not the Game for you, Arma rarely has such high action that you need to move quickly

[half garnet]

yeah thats just a shame, really cool game too 😦

[wise barn]

arma is not a FPS focused game like COD, BF(insert_stupid_number) or any other shooter

[half garnet]

yeah i get that, i usually play project reality and squad, love those games

[patent kettle]

I would say it's just playable at lower framerate due to slower gameplay.

[half garnet]

true but it just feels terrible though

[patent kettle]

I'm averaging at 60-70 fps with R9 5900x

[half garnet]

but this game is super old right? so idk how its that bad on fps

[half garnet]

bruh

thats a beast cpu lmao

[wise barn]

similar on a beefed up i5 9600k and RX 5700XT

[patent kettle]

So your frames seem somewhat right, it depends mostly on RAM and CPU.

[half garnet]

yeah judging by your cpu it seems reasonable

[patent kettle]

Also lower view distance and object quality if possible. There's not much difference between High and Ultra and frames can be better.

Especially on vegetation dense maps.

[patent kettle]

Could propably get 20% more frames if my ram would not be mediocre.

[wise barn]

true

[half garnet]

i have 3200MHz 16GB

[patent kettle]

But yeah, 30 fps is very much considered playable for arma

[half garnet]

i think thats decent

[wise barn]

what are the latencies? (CL)

[half garnet]

i guess ill just try it for a bit longer

uhhh, no clue

[wise barn]

that'S the most important part

[patent kettle]

Yep

[wise barn]

anything above CL14 for a 3200MHz RAM is meh

(like i still have 😄 )

[half garnet]

how do i check?

[wise barn]

CPU-Z can do that

[half garnet]

i have that, nice

[patent kettle]

Aren't you on 5900x now too?

[quaint jewel]

still two months away

[patent kettle]

Ah

That's taking ridiculously long

[quaint jewel]

I'll visit my now year old CPU next month 😄

[wise barn]

my still bad RAM

[patent kettle]

That's kinda shit for 5900x

But mines not much better.

Did not educate myself enough when getting the RAM.

[wise barn]

same here 😄

(as you can see)

[patent kettle]

But I'm too lazy to fix it now. Will just replace whole PC in a year or two.

[wise barn]

lol 😄

[wise barn]

can you please post the whole RAM window?

[half garnet]

1600MHz?

no way

[patent kettle]

X2

[half garnet]

is my ram running at 1600?

[wise barn]

it's running at DRAM freq. x2

[half garnet]

oooh i see now

few

[wise barn]

still, the timings are rather meh for a 3200MHz RAM.

[half garnet]

well my motherboard is pretty meh so maybe thats why

[rotund panther]

I can average 35-40 quite well. I think I was able to run a solid 40, sometimes 45 even on my mac when I had that

[half garnet]

B350 for an R5 3600

[wise barn]

not really. 3200MHz CL14 or 3600MHz CL16 can do wonders at times (almost)

[wise barn]

oof... ok then 😄

well, it's mostly restricting lanes, not RAM iirc

[half garnet]

yeah i upgraded from an R5 1600 to 3600

[patent kettle]

3800@CL14 can do wonders ;D

3600@CL16 is okay

[wise barn]

if you get some sweet moneyz for christmas, consider upgrading to a B550 board and better RAM

[wise barn]

smartass 🤣

[patent kettle]

Can't wait for some DDR5 benchmarks with arma

[wise barn]

i think Groove had some already? or am i wrong?

[patent kettle]

Did he? Has he changed his platform again?

[wise barn]

Not sure tbh

[patent kettle]

He had really fast ddr4

[half garnet]

thank you guys for helping me though, saved me a lot of struggle 🙂

[wise barn]

👍

[lunar quarry]

Hi. I have a big problem with the game. Two days ago I bought it and I actually played campaigns because I wanted to learn everything. Unfortunately, when I try to go online, it kicks me out of every server I go to. Any ideas?

official servers are not displayed at all
I do not want to buy additional DLC to play on some unofficial server. Is there an option to somehow connect to these official servers even though I can't see them?

[gaunt hawk]

Hey I am played Extraction yesterday (hosted it on my PC "within" arma).
Today we tried to continue the game but we don't have any slots when we klick on resume

*no role selections

any idears?
Logs says

22:23:30 Mission Extraction.SefrouRamal: 'description.ext::Header::minPlayer' (1) is too high - there is 0 roles

[quaint jewel]

Are you sure the CDLC is actually loaded on the server?

you need to load it manually via -mod parameter

[gaunt hawk]

server is my game, so yes

[quaint jewel]

local hosted?

[gaunt hawk]

i started the server in arma, like in server browser host server

[gaunt hawk]

yes, but i didnt start the server like i would if i test a mission or so

[quaint jewel]

huh.
I have only seen

22:23:19 Steam AppId in current environment: 107410
22:23:19 Connected to Steam servers
These log messages on dedicated server, ok then.

It displaying 0 slots is usually an issue with missing mods/files

[gaunt hawk]

mhm okay, i will verify

[quaint jewel]

but usually it also tells you about it

[gaunt hawk]

did not work, trying a local dedicated for now

[wise barn]

it can happen at times that something in the background is slowing down (no clue what it could be), but i can take up to a few minutes until the role selection is available

[gaunt hawk]

mhm i am waiting 😄 nothing after 5 mins so far

[void cedar]

anybody know why it's so hard to connect to servers sometimes? my friend is trying to connect to a server my other friend is hosting, and he connects for a second and then immediately gets disconnected. we've only ever managed to fix it where we sit in the player select menu, and 'catch' them by locking them into a role when they connect.

it's basically just this over and over

[pine thistle]

Currently met with this error, any ideas what to do?

[uncut trellis]

got wrong mods activated

[wooden tulip]

For some reason, screenshots I take with screenshot ""; have the colours really washed out compared to any taken with printscreen. Anyone know why this is?
https://imgur.com/a/pu034ON

[pine thistle]

Fixed by deleting and redownloading for me, I had old versions

[solid tiger]

hey so in eden editor is there anyway to make people stay? for example ill fly a heli over adn put the people in the heli and the heli will either A- fly away or two B- they wont stay in it

is there anyway to keep both where they are?

[fringe salmon]

So basically in Zeus, AI will sometimes just not shoot each other. Especially if I put the ai on the street in a city. The ai can clearly see each other and would just not shoot at times. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Just a side thing, is there a way to get into long range engagements with ai cause it's hard for me

[rotund panther]

Still have issue from yesterday where Arma won't launch with CUP terrains. Looked through launcher logs, and says I have corrupted files

Using repair function didn't work last time

[gaunt hawk]

hats normal, try to play with gamma and contrast
i think it was lower gamma -15 and higher contrast +15 (or the other way, just try it a bit)

[wooden tulip]

But then my game is gonna look odd

[gaunt hawk]

thats right, if you want to make screenshots in the play go with F12, there is no other way

maybe tell us what you wanna do exactly?
i just needed some screenshot for a loading screen so i just adjusted the settings back

[wooden tulip]

I was more wanting to get that digital camera mod working and taking photos showing what I see

It works using the screenshot command

[gaunt hawk]

maybe something like creating a camera with an effect would work?

[slow comet]

iirc you can fix that by restarting your game or the server

[rotund panther]

Still get this when loading in Chernarus. Repaired mod files, and unsubscribed and resubbed to both CUP core and CUP maps. May not have waited long enough after unsubscribing though

Should be easier to just view it in file explorer and delete the mod files, but when I try to do that it give me a warning about harming the game and steam file integrity

[quaint jewel]

maybe steam redownloaded a broken version again? 😄

[rotund panther]

hope not

Would arma kill me if I just went into game files and deleted the mod folder?

[wise barn]

Open the mod in explorer (it does not harm the game) and delete the roads.pbo
Then repair the mod

Correction

roads2.pbo

[rotund panther]

ah, ok. Lemme go try that once I get home

[wise barn]

👍

[sweet pumice]

Anyone know what's my problem here? I've been following tutorials on how to create custom sounds by using triggers, and ACE ambient sounds but this pop's up when I walk to my trigger.

[void fjord]

Everytime I start Arma 3 [No optional DLC's, no Mods] and Zeus everything works fine til I place the MK6 Mortar. Seconds after placing it my game freezes indefinetly after closing it via task manager and verifying game files, steam restores 10 missing files. This is a cycle that continues any help?

[wise barn]

@sweet pumiceyou need to have a sound folder inside your mission folder where the soundfile can be found
your_mission_name.terrain\sound\chatter.ogg

[sweet pumice]

@wise barn like this?

As I walk to the trigger no error pops up whatsoever but the audio doesn't play.

[wise barn]

the structure looks good.
what format is the original file. it must be 44.1kHz and 16 bit

oh, and don't use !,?, ect in folder names

no special characters other than numbers and _ -

[sweet pumice]

@wise barn here is the updated description.ext file

I don't know if something is wrong here

maybe the volume is disabled or too low because i can't hear anything

[wise barn]

what format is the original file. it must be 44.1kHz and 16 bit

[sweet pumice]

I see, its at 48khz

is there a way I could change that to 44.1khz?

[uncut trellis]

path to the sounds is likely incorrect

ah nevermind, discord did not show the last messages 😄

[void fjord]

If anyone has the same problem fixed it by downloading the DEV version and then reverting back to the normal one

[rotund panther]

Deleted my corrupted Chernarus files and the repaired the mod. Finally works now

[native mica]

hello. so I am using Ryan's Zombies and Demons mod in a mission, but when I change the uniforms for the zombies they just stand there and stop really working. Any help for this?

[barren plover]

does anyone know what to do here

other then reset the password

[steady hawk]

...no

Because you're the one who knows what type the router is

[barren plover]

like the company of the router

[steady hawk]

Why are you asking this in here in the first place?

[barren plover]

I am trying to forward a port to fix my zeus

[steady hawk]

If you're the owner and you can literally see the router, watch it to get the hint. If you aren't, contact the owner

[barren plover]

ok

Hold up is it true that if my friend can't see the sever that i make i have to forward the port

[steady hawk]

Might be

[barren plover]

what could be the other reasons

[warm quest]

Help!

Can't join my units server

Error is: "You cannot play/edit this mission, it is dependant on AceX" sometimes it says "it is dependant on BettIR", both mods installed, and updated. everyone else can join. Mods were installed through preset, 90 mods, if that helps

I have tried doing the following fixes:

1. Reinstalling arma 3, and all the mods
2. Deleting Arma3, Arma3Launcher, and bohemia_interactive in %LocalAppdata% to get rid of savegames that might be interfering with mods
3. Launched through both game server browser, and launcher server browser

None of the fixes above fixed anything
Any help is much appreciated, thanks! 😅

[molten badger]

Try unsubscribing from the mods themselves and then resubscribe to them

[warm quest]

Tried it, still no success
thanks for the response however!

[feral goblet]

Hey guys I’m new to arma and it keeps crashing

[stable dust]

did it install correctly?

idk try restarting your pc

[feral goblet]

Yes

[cedar crown]

So you have already verified files via Steam?

[feral goblet]

I’m doing it now

This must have been the problem right ?

[stable dust]

ig

[cedar crown]

Yes, that would do t.

[feral goblet]

Game is still crashing…

[uncut trellis]

There is a wiki page about access violation errors and possible fixes. I think 5 is also there

[pine kite]

Proper sound editing programs usually have a function to resample the sound to a different rate.

[karmic jolt]

is just argo or arma aswell?

[steady hawk]

No, Arma 3 doesn't need Bohemia Interactive account to play

[karmic jolt]

ok, tnx for help, i guess we wait

[mighty bolt]

I can't play more then 10min without this popping up

[steady hawk]

how long does it take, are they going to remove argo?

[primal portal]

Got a weird bug. Sometimes after I die, I don't have a cursor to click the respawn button, preventing me from respawning. Have to Alt + F4 and rejoin the server to spawn.

[wise barn]

very likely mod related

No one else has had this issue and we all share the same mod load order.

I have tried doing the following fixes:

1. Reinstalling arma 3, and all the mods
2. Deleting Arma3, Arma3Launcher, and bohemia_interactive in %LocalAppdata% to get rid of savegames that might be interfering with mods
3. Launched through both game server browser, and launcher server browser
4. Tried to connect through Hamachi

None of the fixes above fixed anything.

I have changed UPNP to TCP, then turned it back to UPNP, incase it was messing with me joining the server. I didn't test this out however, but i doubt it was the issue since the error was only relating to mods.

Any help is much appreciated, thanks 😃

[fringe salmon]

i cant hear people in game i maxed voip and still have this problem

and my friends have this problem

[pine kite]

Error is: "You cannot play/edit this mission. it is dependant on AceX" Implies that you have not enabled that mod AceX or BettIR. So check if you actually have those subscribed/enabled in the launcher.
Your ping is irrelevant. Also UPnP is irrelevant if you join another server (that of your unit). UPnP or port forwarding in the router is only needed if you host the server from your own computer or seperate machine server.

[warm quest]

Have tried that. as i said, re-installed all mods, confirmed they were all installed.

Preset cant be wrong right

[pine kite]

It sure can. It is just a list. Might be out dated.

You mean you got a html file from someone else and installed those mods by that?

[warm quest]

nope, a preset shared in #modpacks of the server

[pine kite]

Also Ace X has been recently merged into Ace 3 : https://ace3mod.com/wiki/user/ace3-and-acex.html

[warm quest]

Know that. Updated ace as well

this is why i asked the question here 😅

[pine kite]

Maybe the mission needs to be updated as well for this change.

[warm quest]

Everyone else can join though..

[pine kite]

Then start looking into the RPT file that your game generates. See what mods the game actually gets started with.

!rpt

[rustic eagle]

Arma RPT

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

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

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

To share an rpt log here, please use a website like https://sqfbin.com/ to upload the full log, that way the people helping you can take a look at it and try to figure out the problem you're having together with you.
Note: RPT logs can hold personal information relevant to your system, the game or others.

[warm quest]

Alright, will check 👍

its weird because i launched eden and all mods worked fine
will check rpt regardless

[pine kite]

The RPT file is a text based log file. Somewhere in it you should find a table with which mods loaded or not, and where it found them.

[warm quest]

think i found something

Unknown game, right below arma 3

steamID -1, not owned, not installed, not dlc

[pine kite]

That is the area yes

[warm quest]

should there be a mods folder down here?

im sorry if im too boomer with the RPT 😅

[pine kite]

That Unkown is always there.

Further down is another table with mods

[warm quest]

thats weird, nothing is there

the log ends with the last signs of ----

[pine kite]

How about the full length of the command line at the top. Does it have all those 90 mods in there?

[warm quest]

it does 🤣

[pine kite]

I'll take your word for it. I can't read that.

[warm quest]

hey man, i can send you both the preset and RPT if you dont believe me

it should be 90, unless i accidentally logged on the wrong rpt, regardless should be 89, 90.

[pine kite]

Upload the file somewhere as text and put the link here. I don't want to do private message support.

So others can chip in too.

[warm quest]

im gonna upload RPT, then send the HTML link for the modset here. Cool?

[pine kite]

Sure, pastebin is commonly used.

[warm quest]

https://pastebin.com/PUzCY66M

idk if html can be accessed or not 🤔

alright i think i found it
not all mods are loading

but it doesnt make sense
BettIR, ace are loading

and again, i still dont know how i can fix this

take this as aan example
i have subscribed to this mod through the Preset

mod downloaded

loaded, up to date

but still, nowhere to be found in the RPT

[pine kite]

Make sure to verify your Arma 3 install via Steam. And repair each mod by right clicking on those lines. Just as a precaution.

And try to run the game with those mods new to join the server. Make a recent RPT file. The one you uploaded was cut short. And didn't contain the html preset file either.

[warm quest]

unsure if this can help, but the entire RPT

Files are getting verified in the background

[gaunt hawk]

how does an dedicated save the progress?

[gaunt hawk]

like i dont get how to save the progress of extraction, i can run it on a dedicated, run it local within arma, i can run it local on an dedicated but what do i have to do so that the progress will save and start at the last saved point?

[quaint jewel]

afaik there is no saving in MP

[gaunt hawk]

ufff

ty tho

[onyx plaza]

anyone else experience effect audio slowly lowering overtime until i can’t hear anything? playing on a vanilla server with a few friends, never experienced it in single player

[pine kite]

Some mp missions store their state in a profilename.vars.arma3profile. But it is not humanreadable. And it needs to be programmed into the mission script I understand.

[stark lark]

Can someone help me my arma 3 CUP maps are broken Takistan is at the top with no name or picture and when i click on it it crashes my game i have a few other map mods with it but it just crashes my game do i need to fix the cup maps

[golden nova]

unload other map mods and see if it works again

@stark lark

[stark lark]

Ok

[winged trout]

So this problem has plagued me for years I really need to get to the bottom of it

Occasionally, like every 15-20 seconds, I will get a stutter.

I've changed hardware over the years, but this problem persists

Please someone, have you had this issue and did you solve it or figure out what may be causing it

[kindred fulcrum]

can anyone explain why the kill count doesn't work in multiplayer at the moment? our server settings has it turned on.

[wise barn]

@winged troutusually caused by the game being installed on an HDD instead of an SSD

[austere canyon]

I got some dx 11 error and my game crashes can anyone help

[wise barn]

@austere canyonhow often does it happen?

[austere canyon]

Sometimes randomly but only happened to me twice

[wise barn]

you can ignore it then. some windows / GPU driver hickup

[austere canyon]

Yeah ig I have a really crap pc I literally have an igpu

[wise barn]

This can also happen to a rtx3090...
It's an issue with how windows handles micro dropouts of the GPU drivers

[winged trout]

I have it on an SSD for sure, maybe there is an issue with it. I'll check out the transfer rates while I'm playing

It seems to correlate with the ethernet?

Everytime it spikes I get that stutter

[winged trout]

I suspect that the connection falls behind or gets interrupted somehow and it has to quickly catch back up

no idea where to start looking to find out more

[fringe salmon]

this comes up all the time whenever i try to play arma, is there a way to hide it or fix it

[wise barn]

It is not possible to hide error messages in SP/editor. The inky way to remove them is getting the Modder to fix his mod

[fringe salmon]

i have like 100 mods how do i find which one is showing the error

[wise barn]

idk

[fringe salmon]

bruh

[wise barn]

You wanted an answer and you got one

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[crimson basin]

I'm getting consistent FPS drops followed by crashing to desktop when I load certain maps and I don't know why

but not normal FPS drops, it's almost like the game pauses for half a second every 3 or 4 seconds, which I previously fixed but now that option doesn't exist so I don't know what to do

my game is installed on an SSD btw

[golden nova]

probably maps are bugged and cause some leakage. keep your task manager somewhere visible to see where is the overload, also do not load many maps at once because the can override eachother and cause issues @crimson basin

it would be cool if you'd tell us what maps and how many do you load and do you have any other mods loaded with them. also if you played with parameters in Launcher you could fcuk something up.

[crimson basin]

currently I am redownloading my entire modlist but at the time I only had the CUP maps stuff including Maps 2.0 and enhanced video settings

as far as launcher options go I have extra threads with everything checked, hyper-threading enabled, the Intel TBB4 allocator as I got the best performance with this in the past, and No Pause so I can alt tab without the game dying when I tab back in

[granite thicket]

Anyone ever have issues connecting to certain servers for some reason? One of our friends is unable to even find our dedicated server or connect to it via direct connect both in the launcher and in game. Other people can connect just fine, but one or two people have this issue and nothing seems to fix it.

[golden nova]

try disabling custom parameters and launching your maps again, even with a better outcome it's not advised to mess with parameters if you are not a server, technically

nopause should be okay but malloc caused some hiccups on my rig.

[golden nova]

tell him to make another profile in main menu, switch to it and then connect

lmk if that worked, we have a guy in my unit who had the same problem and connecting with a different profile solved the issue

must be something with arma3-steam verification

[granite thicket]

That one didn't work at all! We're going to try loading 350+ servers on the server browser to see if that works

That was also suggested to me

[sterile verge]

can anyone help me

I tried searching it up but it doesn't show about this

[golden nova]

do you have OneDrive on your PC?

[sterile verge]

mhm

[golden nova]

then this can be the case, it backups your profile files and messes up the game, also could be an antivirus if the issue persists. Can't really help with this one but you should get rid of onedrive and its backing up features

[sterile verge]

mk thanks

[sterile verge]

it didnt work

welp

[fringe salmon]

oldest bug in the game

[rugged jetty]

Hello, I'm coming here as a last ditch effort to fix a pretty big bug I'm having because nor the steam or bohemia interactive forums seems to have an answer.

For a few days I've had an issue where the Prairie Fire DLC (only optional DLC I have) would always load even when disabled. Then I realised this issue also occurs with my mods. Even when I disabled all mods, they still load into the game. I'm basically stuck playing with the Prairie Fire DLC and 20 mods.

I fixed the issue with the DLC by disabling it in steam, but still having issues with the mods. I've discovered that the mods that load are from a preset I've made for the Prairie Fire DLC, but even after deleting the preset they still load.

I've tried verifying the game files, didn't fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂 Hoping I won't have to resort to reinstalling the game because with Australian internet that will take a while.

[crimson basin]

So

I'm still having the problem with chernarus 2020

I don't know why it's this map in particular

I deleted and reinstalled all of my mods, I deleted my AppData folders for Arma, I deleted my Documents folders for Arma, I verified my files

the only thing I haven't done is turning battleye on - could that be it? I run without it because in my case I sometimes get errors with it on

[golden nova]

i play without battleye becaue of reshade and never had such problems.

hard to say what's the issue, maybe try reaching the CUP dev team and send them the error code

also give them the mod preset you're loading with and your pc specs, their discord invitation is in #channel_invites_list

[golden nova]

did you mess with parameters in launcher, or did you set up any custom start line or whatever it's called in Steam or Windows?

[crimson basin]

I already talked with the guys over in the CUP server and the consensus was basically that it's a general arma issue of some kind

I found that it's actually just middle clicking into a dense area in the editor and it also happens with other maps that are for lack of a better term busier than the default Arma 3 maps

[rugged jetty]

I did change some parameters to improve performance. I enabled hyperthreading and increased CPU cores, not sure what custom start lines are so I couldn't tell you\

[fringe salmon]

having endless issues trying to get mike force working on my dedi

[sterile verge]

Can someone help me so I was going on editor and I created a scenario and I click play scenario and it didn't let me play

[golden nova]

you need to place a playable AI first

[sterile verge]

I did

[rugged jetty]

Is it in multiplayer or singleplayer?

[sterile verge]

singleplayer

[rugged jetty]

strange, it should work

do you get any error messages"

?

[sterile verge]

no

Its like

It doesnt let me play

[sterile verge]

do you know how fix it?

[rugged jetty]

No idea because i've never seen an issue like that but send a screenshot of the character you're trying to play

[sterile verge]

kk

[rugged jetty]

very strange, that should work

only thing i could really suggest is to save it and restart your game

[royal dove]

anybody know how to fix arma3_x64.exe - System error?

it says: "The code execution cannot proceed because [BLANK] was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem", ive tried restarting it, uninstalling, reinstalling, same thing is happening with rising storm Vietnam

[uncut trellis]

Does it say blank?

[royal dove]

No it dosnt say anything

Normally where the blank is its suppose to say something like

"Steam_api64.dll" Or something like that

but instead its just double spaced

[pine kite]

Disable halve of them (make sure they are not depending on eachother), test if it comes back. If not, try the other halve. Repeat halving until you narrow it down to 1.

[austere canyon]

why am i getting this error i didnt even download mods

[uncut trellis]

Try verifying your game files. Either your or the server files are not up to date.

[austere canyon]

kk

[quaint jewel]

You are loading the western sahara CDLC, the server probably doesn't allow it

[uncut trellis]

Ah i assumed he was trying to join a WS server. But that is very good point

[storm condor]

Can someone tell me why my game takes a lot of time while loading the virtual arsenal in any mission, I have NIarms, fhq accessories, RKSL attachments loaded. removing any of these doesnt help with the speeds. Do i need to reinstall the game/mods

[austere canyon]

pc specs?

[storm condor]

I5 2400, 16Gb HyperX DDR3, Gt710 (yeh ik shit gpu)

[wise barn]

You are lucky that the game even launches on your build...

[storm condor]

Oh it works better than some games

I get 25 fps but eh, i play it for fun anyways

[austere canyon]

Why does my pc crash while playing arma for some time?

The whole thing becomes a black screen and I have to restart it

[uncut trellis]

possibly severe GPU crash. check that temperatures dont spike and perhaps update drivers

[sterile verge]

Does anybody know how to fix editor because I created a mission and I placed that character I wanted to play but it doent let me play it. It doesnt show any error screen it just wont let me play

[latent flare]

make sure the character is playable?

[sterile verge]

Mhm I did that

but still

wont

[latent flare]

idk then

seems weird

[sterile verge]

ye

[wanton hedge]

Have a big Problem with the game.. Suddenly it starts always with 3 FPS Bug from the beginning.
What I have tried already:
-performance 64 exe
-start without mods
-uninstall all mods
-uninstall game
-delete player profiles

nothing works out for me. I hope anyone can help me. I'm afraid of never playing Arma again

[golden nova]

does your PC meet the minimal requirements?

[maiden grove]

i got this bug where i cant press respawn when i die sometimes

cant press escape either i gotta restart my entire gam

[wanton hedge]

yes

I played all the time with good fps, no problems. Went on vacation 1 week, no its all broken

[golden nova]

what does the "it starts with 3FPS" mean, is it constant and you can't do anything or is it only for some time?

have you checked your disk usage during playing? It may be dying and struggles to load the game with full speed

[wanton hedge]

in the main menu, if I click Graphic it shows me I have 15 fps. Thats very low, but if I start a game (SP or MP) I go down to 3 FPS

[golden nova]

and this issue is only with Arma?

[wanton hedge]

yes

I play HLLL with average about 100 till 144 fps

[golden nova]

did you change anything in Parameters tab in your launcher?

[wanton hedge]

not before the problem accured

when I came back from vacation steam updated a mod I think it was TFAR, but even without mods (I deleted them all) I won#t work

[dusk topaz]

Every time I launch my game with the cup mods installed it crashes and gives me this popup error, any idea how to fix this?

[golden nova]

https://steamcommunity.com/app/107410/discussions/0/135511757696033352/ check this thread and see if it's similar to your issue, maybe your game detects integral graphics of your CPU instead of using the GPU

never had such issue tho, so I can't help much more 😐

[golden nova]

try repairing the mod

if it doesn't help then do a health check of your drive, maybe it has some bad blocks and saves the data faulty

[wanton hedge]

first of all thank you, I will check the thread now

[dusk topaz]

ok ill try

[dusk topaz]

repairing didnt work

[wanton hedge]

damn I dont have that setting in my nvidia control panel ?O.o
"go into your NVidia control panel > Manage 3D setting > Gloabl Setting > "Preferred Graphics Processor"

[golden nova]

maybe you don't have an integra in your CPU then

[wanton hedge]

hehe okay idk but i dont think so

hm any other ideas?

[golden nova]

none comes to my mind, however I'd use some software to monitor how the CPU, GPU and drive performs when you start your game

so you can check whether it's your PC's fault or not

[wanton hedge]

yes I did it and my graphic card doesnt start running it stays at 300mhz like I m on desktop. So I changed the settings from nvidia control panel for the game to run the card on high performance. after that the card goes up to max mhz but still only have the 3 fps

[onyx plaza]

whenever i hear loud sounds in game, especially if im in third person in a helicopter or something, my game audio will lower itself overtime until i cant hear anything

but i can still hear sounds from clicking on the UI and radio commands

anyone know what is causing this?

[golden nova]

ACE hearing?

[onyx plaza]

nope

playing with no mods except enhanced movement

[twin moon]

So I'm hearing a thing from some of my guys. And apparently modcreators can code their mod to prevent a particular user from using it by crashing their game. I'm wondering if that's even possible?

[fringe salmon]

Is a steady 100+ FPS on 1440p possible in this game? What hardware would I need, 3080?

[uncut trellis]

not possible

[wise barn]

it is possible, with hardware that has not been invented / produced yet

[ocean nacelle]

I’m having this issue where this happens

[steady hawk]

Seems fine. What's the issue?

[austere canyon]

Look at the mouse

Cursor

[steady hawk]

You mean the mouse cursor and the actual cursor location are off?

[smoky junco]

guys i get 35 fps when i play arma 3 and my gpu utilization is like 28% i have rtx 2060S

idk whats the problem

[steady hawk]

Normal it seems

[smoky junco]

no its not

why is it so low

[steady hawk]

It is

[smoky junco]

bruh 28% is shit

why is it like that

[steady hawk]

Because the engine is from 20 Century

[smoky junco]

i used to get better fps idk what happened

i get stutters too

nvm i fixed it

it was the cpu count

it was on 1

[twin moon]

@steady hawk

for your mod, do I need to have a separate thing to call PLP_fnc_fireWeapon ??

[steady hawk]

a separate thing
?

[twin moon]

Well im calling a function, wouldn't I need that written somewheres so I can call it? Or just put [unit, 0, .1] call PLP_fnc_fireWeapon on a unit to fire their weapon. I've tried it multiple times but nothing has happened.

[steady hawk]

Just in case did you previewed it?

[twin moon]

I'm fairly new to your mod. I'm unsure if you mean preview via SP or through the camera via debug in Eden or is there a third option.

The more I use it the more I get better with it.

[steady hawk]

via SP

[twin moon]

Yes. I have

Got nothing.

[steady hawk]

Did you named the unit unit?

[twin moon]

I'm supposed to name it ain't I...

[steady hawk]

Just do sqf [this,0,0.1] call PLP_fnc_fireWeapon?

[twin moon]

This what I got

[steady hawk]

And?

[twin moon]

Nothing.

Just standing there.

[steady hawk]

In a preview?

[twin moon]

In SP

[steady hawk]

Is it a rifle?

[twin moon]

I press, Play Scenario in Singleplayer.

[twin moon]

Yes

It's a ka weapons one

[steady hawk]

Simulation time?

[twin moon]

What's that?

[steady hawk]

Acctime, bottom right

[twin moon]

1

Trying with with another weapon and still got nothing.

In order of what needs to be done. What should I do.

[steady hawk]

IDK. Make sure it's not a Mod dependent issue or something

[twin moon]

alright

[open coral]

hey, can anyone help me?

hadn't played arma in a couple of days

but when I boot it up, click play w/out mods

it just goes to a black screen

@ me.

[idle kernel]

So. i have a minor issue. when in zeus when i copy and past a unit it places double the amount, an examble would be if i shift+ctrl+c a squad and then shift+ctrl+v in a different area it places two squads down in the area i want instead of one

[open coral]

right click the squad you're copying and hit duplicate

pretty sure thats the way to do it

[magic elbow]

help

when i start the game

[open coral]

did you really just try and tag everyone?

[magic elbow]

yes

i know

you know how to fix?

[brave hawk]

don't.

[magic elbow]

okay

[brave hawk]

!steamVerify

[rustic eagle]

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

[open coral]

Done the first part, two seconds for the second.

[magic elbow]

i did that

[open coral]

Nothings changed.

I've done launching in admin mode, played around with some parameters, but nothing.

I've looked it up, but its hard to describe.

I'm just gonna quickly uninstall my drivers.

@brave hawk

[merry glen]

@brave hawk hahhahah no shit it worked

[brave hawk]

noice!
it seems to be a OneDrive issue, but I really don't know more about it

[open coral]

hey, nothings really worked

and according to most forms, they reckon im screwed

I really don't get it as I've done literally nothing with the game

[brave hawk]

you may want to try one thing?
shut down Arma if running;
in Documents, rename your profile directory (either Arma 3 or Arma 3 Other Profiles\<username>) from dirName to dirName_old, then try again?

[open coral]

That alright?

[brave hawk]

what do you have in "other profiles"?

[open coral]

another account i think

i mean as in a

different name for a milsim group i was apart of

[brave hawk]

ah okay

then if the current one is in Arma 3 only, yes

[open coral]

By a fucking miracle

your _old directory worked

It appears to has lost my cfg file

but thats not really an issue

What do you reckon was causing the issue?

well, I mean why, since we know what it is

[brave hawk]

no idea really 😐 most likely super heavy/corrupted profile variables

you can move files from the _old to the newly game-created one - because right now, you lost key settings, loadouts, etc

[open coral]

Jesus christ, thank you so much.

Yeah I just recovered the cfg file, all is well

Felt like I wouldn't be able to play again from the sound of the forums I looked up.

Please excuse me for dming you, but thank you very much for helping.,

[brave hawk]

yeah no - no worries, I prefer to use the server in case someone else has the same issue and find this chat 😉
glad it works!

[icy arch]

Some people get this error in my server: steam ticket check failed. Is it wrong with server or the players?

[open coral]

stupid question, but are they logged into steam?

sounds like arma cant contact steam for i assume an authentication, something like that

especially if you have mods etc

[icy arch]

Can you actually get into arma without login?

[open coral]

Yes.

pretty certain

[icy arch]

It says ”Player ”Name of the player” got kicked off. Steam ticket check failed.

[open coral]

yeah that sounds like a steam-authentication issue

but thats just my thoughts

leave it to smarter minds than me

google it too

[icy arch]

Haha

[golden nova]

well it can happen in different situations:

• if they don't launch their game through steam but through .exe file
• if they use beta steam client
• if they game simply crashes
• if they load with certain clientside mods (so far I noticed that with JSRS, blastcore and anything that would require you to disable battleye)

also can be caused by the server itself it the CPU or RAM can't keep up and the machine desyncs

[icy arch]

I disabled battleye in my unit server, can it be the reason? Also, does server provider has anything to do with in game performance?

@golden nova

[golden nova]

if your server sucks then the game will struggle too

[unique moss]

why does this show this? im trying to move arma, and it says its 40 gb, but when i click "move install" it shows its 124gb.

and i checked the actual file size with treesize and it shows 40gb

[uncut trellis]

mods

[unique moss]

yeah but wouldnt my mods be in the same arma folder?

[uncut trellis]

no

[unique moss]

oh

[cobalt plaza]

How do I get my friend to join me?

I host a server with port 2302, on internet, selecting UPNP

And when he joins via direct connect, with the right name, poort and password, it just kicks him back to the servers tab.

[wooden seal]

Same problem here

i recently got arma 3 with my friend

i tried to host a server

he tried to host a server

[thorn fox]

Just in case, did you guys open your firewall/router ports? Dumb question, but we have to know

[wooden seal]

we didnt find each other's server with the filter

[wooden seal]

i think i did, since it worked last week

[thorn fox]

Most likely it has to do with port-forwarding

[wooden seal]

ah thx

ill check it out

[thorn fox]

If you don't have a static local IP address

Check if your IP is the same as when you opened the ports and it worked

It may not work now because the DHCP on your router has assigned a different local IP address

Also, remember to add rules on your firewall that allow connectivity to the server

Remember, ports 2302 to 2305

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

[wooden seal]

alr thx a lot!

[thorn fox]

If you need help with something else, lmk

any idea,why some of the mods dont work,when ACE3 is active?

also snap view up and down doesnt work.

[austere canyon]

Uh so my pc keeps crashing after some time of arma in multiplayer there isn’t any over heat too what could be the reason

[fringe salmon]

Hello!
I have a very strange problem since few days. After playing 1-2 hours the game is start lagging. I checked the fps in the inner video settings and I saw 10 fps yesterday and today 2. And it really look like that. Its awful. I checked the temperature and loading of the GPU (1070) and its temperature is 29 C when usally is 50-55 C. And is not loaded. Only the Dedicated GPU memory usage is very high. SOmething like 7 of 8 GB. The processor is relatively powerful (i5-8600k) and its loaded at 45%.
I`ve never changed the video settings. Its always the maximum.
Any idea why is lagging?

[rotund panther]

I had this too, but it was just that half of my ram wasn't working, so I assume this isn't your issue

[fringe salmon]

You mean the game iis like that at the time?

[winged trout]

Any ever get 10-15s interval of lag spikes in multiplayer games such as KOTH?

[coarse pewter]

I get this error when launching object builder, any idea why or how to fix?

[austere canyon]

Uh so my pc keeps crashing after some time of arma in multiplayer there isn’t any over heat too what could be the reason

[grim lake]

does it happen every like 5 mins or so ?

sometimes it works perfectly sometimes it crashes?

[austere canyon]

nope

[austere canyon]

it crashes sometimes yep

[grim lake]

only in multiplayer right

singleplayer runs perfectly smooth ?

[austere canyon]

it happened in multiplayer a few times and in sp once

[austere canyon]

yes

[grim lake]

are you by any chance running a ryzen cpu?

[austere canyon]

nope

i7 8700k

[grim lake]

i've had same issue and i discovered i needed to upgrade my bios

does the crash restart ur pc

or just crash to desktop ?

[austere canyon]

nope i have to restart it manually

[grim lake]

ah i see now

[austere canyon]

the whole screen turns black and nothing happens

[grim lake]

lets check this then

what is your motherboard

[austere canyon]

uh

how do i check it

[grim lake]

write in the searchbar

system information

[austere canyon]

alr

[grim lake]

it will show everything

[grim lake]

is this a laptop?

[austere canyon]

nope

[grim lake]

board manufacturer says HP which is strange

[austere canyon]

does it have something to do with the core thingy in the parameters

i put 12 cores coz i have 12 logical processors

but 6 cores

[grim lake]

these things keep on auto

[austere canyon]

someone told me to do it

[grim lake]

system should auto detect it

[austere canyon]

its a pre built desktop

[grim lake]

check in parameters

memory allocator

tbb 4 allocator

try choosing that

[austere canyon]

hol on

[grim lake]

hyper threading on and large page support on

[austere canyon]

i have hyper threading on

[grim lake]

also just to double check

in arma 3 settings in steam

[austere canyon]

what should i put as the cpu count

logical processors or cores

[grim lake]

sec let me check

i dont have these on and im running a super pc

[austere canyon]

k

[grim lake]

and urs seems super enough

[austere canyon]

it isnt

[grim lake]

so turn off the cpu count and extra threads thingy

off*

[austere canyon]

my pc is crap

im gonna suffer at 30 fps if i do so prob

[grim lake]

there is another way to not suffer those

on steam library

right click arma 3

[austere canyon]

k

now?

[grim lake]

properties

you see something called launcher options ?

its on first tap

[austere canyon]

yep

i do

[grim lake]

copy paste this in it

-malloc=system

[austere canyon]

done

[grim lake]

try launching the game now

hopefully it works

[austere canyon]

launcher or arma

i mean it runs fine it just crashes my pc sometimes

[grim lake]

run arma

go play randomly on multiplayer

[fringe salmon]

it says im not port forwarded when i try to host a multiplayer session, but my firewall allows arma through and the correct ports are open

any ideas?

[grim lake]

check antivirus

make sure everything on allow

[fringe salmon]

wdym?

i dont see an option to allow anything in the antivirus settings

[austere canyon]

whats ur anti virus

[fringe salmon]

whatever windows comes with

[grim lake]

its windows defender

its pretty easy to allow exclusions on it

[fringe salmon]

arma is allowed through my firewall on public and private networks

if thats what you mean

[reef jacinth]

im being kicked without any message i join for like 2 seconds and then i get kicked i have battleye installed deleted the avast anti virus i validated files i checked my ping

[brave hawk]

what do your logs say?

[rustic eagle]

Arma RPT

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

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

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

To share an rpt log here, please use a website like https://sqfbin.com/ to upload the full log, that way the people helping you can take a look at it and try to figure out the problem you're having together with you.
Note: RPT logs can hold personal information relevant to your system, the game or others.

[reef jacinth]

@brave hawk how u use this

[brave hawk]

sorry what?

see the bot's message above…?

[grim lake]

game should state u a reason for being kicked

what is it

steam authentication failed / high ping / hacking

somethin like that

[finite pollen]

Can someone answer this ? running tanoa. Fx Helicopters LOD. When i stand about 80m from a heli I cannot see the undercarrige. If I zoom in it renders the undercarriage. Did I miss any setting somewhere?

[grim lake]

check view distance thingy in the options

[reef jacinth]

nah just said i was kicked you were kicked from server

[grim lake]

does it happen in one specific server or all of them

[reef jacinth]

all

[grim lake]

did u check the logs

[reef jacinth]

how tho

[grim lake]

everytime something wrong happens arma 3 makes a log

[steady hawk]

Literally Lou Montana says how to

[reef jacinth]

oh that

[grim lake]

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

[reef jacinth]

did that

[grim lake]

check the last one recorded

[reef jacinth]

what do i open it with

[steady hawk]

Any text editor

[fringe salmon]

so what do i do then

[grim lake]

allow arma files through

[fringe salmon]

how do i do that

[grim lake]

type in searchbar antivirus

will show something called virus and threat protection

there is a blue writing called manage settings

scroll down u will find exclusions

rest is pretty clear

[fringe salmon]

do i add the program or the entire folder?

[reef jacinth]

@grim lake do logs look like this

[grim lake]

yup

[grim lake]

both just to be sure

[reef jacinth]

ok now what now

[grim lake]

see if u can find somethin about being kicked

[reef jacinth]

ok

[grim lake]

usually its at the end

[reef jacinth]

i dont see anything

[grim lake]

Also just try reinstalling battleye

hmm nothin about being kicked i see

[steady hawk]

Just drag and drop the latest rpt file here so everyone can investigate

[grim lake]

yup

[reef jacinth]

ok

[finite pollen]

The issue is seen 80m from a spawn vehicle. my vd settings are 4000/3000.

[steady hawk]

Your rpt seems pretty fine

[fringe salmon]

it still wont port forward

correct ports are open, its allowed through firewall and antivirus

every exe in my arma folder is allowed through my antivirus

[grim lake]

is it allowed through your modem/router

could be locked from there

[fringe salmon]

isnt that what opening ports is?

[grim lake]

what do u think @steady hawk ?

https://www.reddit.com/r/arma/comments/fqglho/how_to_host_server_using_port_forwarding/

give this read

[fringe salmon]

ive done those things

[rustic eagle]

To host a server or a game session locally, you need to make sure first that your WAN address / external IP uses the IPv4 protocol!
Check your router’s status page in the settings to confirm. (If in doubt, ask your ISP, Websites like “whatismyip.com” give you a false positive!)
Local servers and games can not be hosted on an IPv6 network, or IPv4 via DSlite tunnel!
https://www.avg.com/en/signal/ipv4-vs-ipv6
Once you have confirmed that your connection uses the IPv4 protocol, you need to manually open / forward the ports 2302-2306 UDP (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Dedicated_Server#Port_Forwarding)
See your router’s manual on how to do that, or ask google: “<your router model> + port forwarding”

[fringe salmon]

i dont know what the hangup is

[uncut trellis]

Have you confirmed your connection is ipv4 type? As only that can host

[reef jacinth]

i got kicked again bru

says

u were kicked off from the server

[fringe salmon]

Does anybody know why LAN Antistasi server starts lagging after 1-2 hours of play?

[uncut trellis]

@reef jacinth have you tried joining with the launchers server browser

[reef jacinth]

not yet

[uncut trellis]

Possibly it gets too heavy with progress?

[reef jacinth]

lemme try the

tho

[uncut trellis]

You should always use the launcher

[reef jacinth]

@uncut trellis it works thx

[fringe salmon]

I think that the game is shifting to using the processor instead of the GPU. The normal GPU temperature when playing arma si about 38C and when this happens is abotu 29C.

[uncut trellis]

You probably had something loaded that the server did not allow.

[reef jacinth]

dont have anything wdym

i dont play with mods and stuff

[uncut trellis]

[pine kite]

Your router blocks incomming traffic from the internet unless you open ports. Those need to be UDP protocol port range 2302-2306 by default. And port forwarding needs to go to the private IPv4 address of your hosting computer. If placing the checkmark for UPnP does not work for you then you need to log into your router config and manually configure the port forwarding. The above has nothing to do with your firewall or antivirus yet. But both can also block incomming traffic as the next barrier if you do not enable incomming data. By default outgoing data is unrestricted.

Why is the model not showing all components when 80m away ? The heli is spawned in through Exile

[steady hawk]

Video Options > Object

[uncut trellis]

Probably it's showing simpler far distance lod

What helo is it?

[steady hawk]

Seems like xH-9, vanilla one

[finite pollen]

its a vanilla pawne. Object is set to high

[uncut trellis]

Sounds about right that it draws a less detailed lod at that distance

[finite pollen]

Hmmm like vehicles missing wheels and etc ?

[uncut trellis]

Perhaps. Depends how the vehicle has been made.

[kindred sparrow]

playing with the EFT Scenario, for some reason some parts of the scenario's hub is completely invisible, i've tried talking with the devs and they didn't find anything wrong with it, and they said that it may be a hardware issue

[kindred sparrow]

could something break the rendering ?

[fringe salmon]

That was already done

[prisma prawn]

I have a problem with zeus. Each time i want to play music through the music module it automatically sets the music to max volume for me when i place it down. For other people its normal and relevant to what i put on the volume slider, but no matter where i put the volume slider at the music for me will always be max after im done selecting. This is very annoying and does anyone know a fix?

For example i set the volume to this right now

But even now i can hear that the preview volume is also on max

For other people its low though

For a few seconds it sounds normal then abruptly sets itself to max volume

and when i reopen the module it has volume on max

[reef jacinth]

ok

so

i laucnh from arma launcher into a official server

i play for some time like 10m then i get:

you were kicked off from the server

no reason

[uncut trellis]

What kind of pings you have for servers?

[forest chasm]

Hello!
I am trying to build a mission in Eden with a zeus in it.
I place down a zeus module and make the owner zCurator and have a player be the zCurator and synced them up along the tutorials no problem.
When I load up the mission and press the zeus-button it just blackscreens and I have to terminate arma from task-manager from another desktop. Says that it is not responding.
This happens both with virtual and non-virtual zeus.

It works in vanilla, but I really want to use the mods.

Do I have any options except to disable the mods that I want to use?

I had these mods running while I had the problems:

CBA_A3
CUP Weapons
CUP Units
Ares
CUP Terrains - Core
CUP Terrains - Maps
CUP Vehicles
RHSAFRF
RHUSAF
RHSGREF
RHSSAF
Universal Ammo System```

Any and all help would be appreciated

[primal portal]

Could be wrong but last I checked, Ares is out of date and was eventually replaced by Achilles, then ZEN. Try getting rid of that and try it.

[forest chasm]

Good advice will try

[quaint crest]

can any resolve problem

?

[wise barn]

@quaint crest
reinstall vcredist for 2013

[lament trellis]

when i place a composition everyting is levitating

[molten badger]

Right click on an object with the whole composition selected, and go down to transform, then left click "Snap to surface"

[acoustic drum]

I can’t play multi player games

[bronze river]

can you describe what happen?

[acoustic drum]

Al of the servers appear red and when I go inside of one of the te kick saying: “USS lowa is not…”

I’ve tried to remove my mods but raven if, it doesn’t work

[bronze river]

well its not official server, you looking in 'Internet' tab correct?
most of the unofficial server which in 'Internet' tab are using mods that's why you cant join it.
you may want to try the official server, or you can also using Launcher browser to see what or which mods are used in the server.

[acoustic drum]

Oh

Thanks 🙏

[slow comet]

In 3den, disable "vertical mode" before placing compositions.

[fierce trout]

for artwork, how can i make a tank crew poke out

[prisma prawn]

hey i still got problems with zeus music if anyone could help :(

[kind bobcat]

What problems? Can you specify

[prisma prawn]

^

@kind bobcat

[kind bobcat]

Probably Arma being Arma and bugging the menu, unless you have somebody in co-zeus with full powers or headphones are badly pluged.

Or maybe 1 and 3 or all 3 together

People tend to have different music volumes set in parameters so for some people music even on max in zeus interface could sound normal

Also could be faulty mod

Try to verify file integrity, check your mods, try launching singleplayer zeus with no mods

If you still get that problem with volume switching itself automatically, it's probably some bug in Arma, but I doubt that

If you don't get problems anymore, it could be either trolling co-zeus or faulty mod

[ornate ridge]

Hey guys' & gals', I've just spent the last two days creating a mission on Arma for my friend and I, but when I host the server it apparently doesn't appear in the server browser?

Anyone have some insight to help me out here?

[kind bobcat]

Not sure if will help, but have you tried turning UNPN on?

[slow comet]

turn them to safe combat mode

[ornate ridge]

Yeah, that was my last try. It's kinda really defeating, honestly.
He has all the same mods that I have installed.

I got everything ready to go by 1-2 clicks if you'd care to test it with me? Or even just look to make sure I have certain configs set properly

[ornate ridge]

I'm literally in the process of trying to find this config again .-.

[ornate ridge]

Is it not in attributes?

[slow comet]

Group attributes.

[cobalt plaza]

How do I get my friend to join me?
I host a server with port 2302, on internet, selecting UPNP
And when he joins via direct connect, with the right name, poort and password, it just kicks him back to the servers tab.

[cobalt plaza]

I already did that

Still nothing

[wise barn]

did you verify that your external IP address is indeed in IPv4 format?

[cobalt plaza]

How do I confirm that

Im pretty sure tho

i went into cmd

/ipconfig

[wise barn]

see the bot message

[cobalt plaza]

wait

i did it

nvm

I had him put in my ipv4 address

instead of my nam in direct connect

How do I lower the difficulty of the AI even more from the settings?

The ai are way too acurate even from a half mile away form rifle fire in a moving vehicle

me and my friend are having a hard time

[wise barn]

it's not "run and gun", it's "hold, take cover, wait, observe, adapt, improvise"

if you can shoot them, they can shoot you too

[cobalt plaza]

Yeah i know but however we approach it, they just seem deadly accurate

[ornate ridge]

Thanks.

I'm on the verge of giving up on making this mission, the groups of these AI won't adopt the run, they'll walk, while others run and the ones that run won't fkng walk...

regardless of the speed attribute...or waypoint...
