list

[steady hawk]

Read the link I posted

[twilit pewter]

okeyy

[honest hollow]

What does this mean, and how do I fix it?

[steady hawk]

This does mean a generic error, and you have something broken or bad script or Mod or... literally anything could be the reason

[fringe salmon]

Is 60-80 frames a normal range for 1440p, running on a 3080? Is that generally the best I will see?

[mild sail]

on an empty map I get 75 1440p with a 980 and bad cpu

fps on an empty map is dependent on your monitor refresh rate and fps in everything else is mostly on your cpu

oversimplification but gpu isnt usually the equilizer in Arma fps

[pine kite]

It's not a mod, it's a mission scenario! Start a server, pick it from the list based on the choice of terrain.

[twilit pewter]

omg tyyyy

[bitter agate]

I start in in the mission with 70 fps and after a couple minutes i drop to 6 fps. My PC has: Ryzen 7 2700x | RTX 2080 | 32GB Ram

[golden nova]

vanilla?

[bitter agate]

no modded

but some modded server are fine other not

[golden nova]

if you tried disabling shadows and/or lowering the view distance and it still behaves like this then it could be a broken mod

[pine kite]

Could be the kind of mods you play, or a mission that spawns entities like rabbits. Without a mod list this is happening in or a mission your problem statement is rather useless.

[coral otter]

Or the server itself is struggling

[sweet glen]

I'm experiencing fatal inconvenience in zeus. It's impossible for me to select multiple groups. There is no mod and I tried to reinstall the game, but it is not solved. Please help me. ;w;

[golden nova]

does it work when you don't zoom out that far?

[wanton bay]

I bought about 5 dlcs and I can't load them in
I opened the launcher im at the DLC page but I do not see a select button to load them in

[brazen sluice]

You also have to look at the owned status for Contact as it says it isn't owned, those DLCs A through K and Jets are already in the game, you just have to buy the DLCs so you can use the stuff in those mods without restriction and without those darned DLC popups

[wanton bay]

alr so I don't need to load any of them in? apex too

[brazen sluice]

Yeah, except Contact, Western Sahara, Glob Mob, CLSA, and SOG

[wanton bay]

oh alr thanks

makes sense now

[brazen sluice]

Those act like mods where you click on them to load them in

[wanton bay]

alr

also why cant

i press

shift + tab

and nothing comes up

it doesnt work anymore

[dim agate]

Is https://units.arma3.com/ down for anyone else?

[molten badger]

possibly a keybind that you have which is preventing steam overlay

[chilly swift]

Hi all, getting a strange error regarding my server. The mission file mods and the server mods are the exact same, but I'm not able to run the mission file on the server and just get booted back to the vote screen (also how do I disable that?). Any help would be appreciated, I triple checked and all of the files that should be there, are there. Not sure if it's something to do with my parameters or what. Screenshots to follow.

This is what my parameters look like, in the Params: menu of the server host I'm using - -config=server.cfg; @FightingBengalsMusic;@A-10 Warthog;@Aaren's Blast Effects;@CBA_A3;@CH View Distance;@CUP Terrains - Core;@CUP Terrains - Maps;@CUP Units;@CUP Vehicles;@CUP Weapons;@DynaSound 2;@Enhanced Soundscape;@F-A-18 Hornet;@F-14 Tomcat;@F-15 Eagle;@F-15 Eagle;@F-16 Fighting Falcon;@FIR AWS(AirWeaponSystem); @Military Aviation; @Pook Soviet Air Force Pack; @Task Force Arrowhead Radio (BETA!!!); @USAF Mod - Main; @USAF Mod - Utility; @Zeus Enhanced

screenshots

Any help would be appreciated, I've been banging my head against the wall trying to figure this out.

[mild sail]

that's normal
you can't box select multiple groups once you're a certian amount far away
if you want to select them anyways there are 2 methods i can think of

1. in left side menu ctrl + click on group names or shift + click to select multiple
2. open map and select them from there

[shell tide]

Need some help
been trying to host a server to play with a friend for a long time now but he just can't connect
when he hosts I can't connect to him either
tried upnp and port forwarding and none did anything
either the server wouldnt show up at all or the rare times we managed to invite through steam it wouldn't connect to the server
Happens both vanilla and modded, also checked the firewall and added some exceptions and stuff

[native mica]

Those DLC's with the option to load them in are optional, as it says, and change the game depending if you have them in. All others without that are loaded in by default if you have them, no need to check them in!

[spice trellis]

This same thing happened to me this evening, its never happened before, outside of there was one friend I had where if he hosted and I joined his server the connection would always fail

[earnest thunder]

Anyone know how to fix this

[tiny dust]

also having a problem with respawning in a server

we are using ACE and when someone dies they respawn with the same injuries

[fickle bough]

Stupid question but how do I use the performance exe in the profiling stuff?

[pine kite]

It's better to post the entire commandline used to start the server. Not your snippet of it. Essential parts may be missing. That list of mod parameters seems to be missing the essential part "-mod=" and then the mods you are using. Also, Windows doesn't like it is there are spaces in the names of modfolders. Make sure to encapsulate them in double quotes: -mods=@modnumber1;"@this is mod number two" Though you can also encapsulate the entire -mod= parameter like "-mod=@Using mods with spaces in the folder name;@SomeOtherMod"

[pine kite]

Make sure you have port forwarded the entire range of UDP ports 2302-2306 to your private IPv4 address.

[shell tide]

Yeah I did that but it still wouldn't work

[pine kite]

Maybe your ISP provides you with a not-actually IPv4 connection. Like it has some kind of carrier-grade NAT server in between preventing you from portforwarding working. Or your ISP does some kind of IPv4 over IPv6 tunneling. Some people just don't have the right connection.

!localhost

[rustic eagle]

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

[shell tide]

Why would upnp not work tough
my router should support it

[pine kite]

Maybe it is turned off in the router config. It can be considered a security risk so probably off by default.

[patent kettle]

Performance exe is the default one of the Profiling Branch, so you just start the game via Launcher as usual.

[shell tide]

I think I checked that

also seems like too much coincidence that the same thing is happening to the other guy
I have connected like this with some other guy before and it worked just fine

[pine kite]

Not really, it is quite common default behavior from what I've seen. But if you have played with the same person before and it worked then it is strange. Don't use UPnP and manual portforwarding at the same time though. And if you manual port forward make sure the private IPv4 address still is correct on your side. It can change after a while depending on if there are other devices connecting while your computer is turned off. "DHCP address reservations" is the key to prevent that.

[wanton bay]

@native mica ok thx

[fickle bough]

whats best? windowed fullscreen or fullscreen?

[golden nova]

if you have troubles with crashes/freezes/CTDs - windowed fullscreen
if you need more FPS - fullscreen

[fickle bough]

okay then ill stay in fullscreen lol

[wise barn]

windowed fullscreen is the best option

[fickle bough]

for performance?

[golden nova]

well the best thing is you can alt-tab without risking your game to crash

and game works more stable in windowed

but apparently fullscreen saves you that 3-4 FPS that in other case are used by Windows rendering the desktop and other apps

[strange garden]

In Eden Editor I can’t move or look around. I can shoot but no movement…

I’m playing with a mod, but when I load into a un modded eden editor everything is fine…

The black code stuff also showed up, can I can’t find away to turn it off.

[wise barn]

mod issue. you can not turn of error messages in the editor. the only way to remove them is to get the mod creator to fix his mod

[golden nova]

you won't get help for mods with ripped stuff here.

if you have issues with TFL - ask TFl.

don't even start it, please.

[wise barn]

@fringe salmon
and still TFL uses ripped assets from other games and modders

just keep your hands off of it

[wild turret]

hi
I'm having trouble logging into the game

[cedar crown]

Ok. Sooo... what exactly is the problem?

Any error messages?

[wild turret]

yes yes when entering the game it says that a file is blocked and suddenly exits the game

[cedar crown]

File is blocked...

Does it say the name of the file?

[wild turret]

yes D3DCompiler_43.dll

[cedar crown]

Did you mod the game in any way?

[golden nova]

I'd try verifying game files through Steam, maybe something broke

[cedar crown]

So you had a... shall we say...

[golden nova]

how did you manage to download it before buying? 👀

[cedar crown]

Less than straight version of the game installed before purchasing it.

You know what.

Uninstall the game.

Go to the source directory.

And just shift delete that thing once the game is uninstalled.

[wild turret]

I deleted the previously downloaded

[cedar crown]

Hmm.

[wild turret]

then i bought it from steam

[golden nova]

missing/broken game files means it wasn't fully downloaded, repair the files through Steam and check if it works.

[wild turret]

so how do i do this

[cedar crown]

...I'm not sure to what extent we even are allowed to help with this according to the rules.

[golden nova]

he bought the game, so we are allowed.

[wild turret]

this may be true

[golden nova]

go to Steam Library -> Right click on your game -> Properties -> Local files -> verify

[wise barn]

hold on...

[cedar crown]

Holding on...

[wild turret]

thanks, if i have a problem i will contact you again

[wise barn]

remove all traces of any arma installation. and i mean ALL traces.
close steam
check install folders -> delete everything
check download folder -> delete all traces
delete all traces of cracks / patches or whatever
restart your PC
run steam
reinstall arma 3

[golden nova]

he would have to mess with keyreg too

[wise barn]

mayhaps

[wild turret]

i am having the same problem again

when i enter the game it gives error again i did everything i checked all forum pages

[acoustic smelt]

Hello, I just recently bought the game and Apex DLC. I'm using Manjaro version of Linux and have been trying to play Arma 3 with proton. I've heard the game supports Linux and proton, I've been following any steam guides, videos or reports on ProtonDB and so far nothing has worked to get the game running.

I have "-nolauncher" in my launch options and "PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1". When I click play I get the regular loading addons and other things with the game logo. Then arma3 opens up with a black screen for a few seconds and closes right after.

[wild turret]

i am having the same problem again

0xc000009a

[wise barn]

post a screenshot

[wise barn]

i need a translation of it. word by word

[wild turret]

it says the app is not starting properly

[wise barn]

google knows what to do

[prisma sinew]

It says starting battleye service but I wait for 30 mins and it’s still not working. Has this happened to anyone else

[main bison]

This has been happening to me for a month, ive deleted multiple mods and even have reinstalled my game deleted my mods and it still happens. Without mods I am fine, but one single mod after its done loading crashes my game. Can somebody help me instead of telling me to verify the integrity cus that isnt working

[fringe salmon]

I need assistance with network stuff regarding port forwarding.

[uncut trellis]

Hit play

[pine kite]

Internal host: your server/computer IPv4 address. External port 2302-2306 (Internal port likely the same, unless you use different ports on your server itself). Protocol UDP. That should be it, asside from giving it a descriptive name like Arma 3.

[acoustic smelt]

So uh anyone able to help with running this on Manjaro

[pine kite]

I have no detailed advise, other than that you should run this as Windows version via proton. Native linux version is unsupported and out of date.

[acoustic smelt]

Yeah

[acoustic smelt]

I've been trying it with all proton versions

rn experimental version I think

startup parameters: PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% %command% -nolauncher

[pine kite]

Sorry, I have no linux experience to speak of.

[acoustic smelt]

Argh

[acoustic smelt]

Welp, Bohemia said the game supports proton right?

[pine kite]

Dunno, but Bohemia devs play on linux. So informally atleast.

[acoustic smelt]

Huh never knew that, so far the game just opens up to a black screen and closes after a few seconds.

[pine kite]

Well, maybe there is more info anyway in #linux_mac_branch

[acoustic smelt]

ooh

ok ty

[red tinsel]

Can anyone help me?

[strange garden]

Where do i turn off "error messages" in editor?

[wise barn]

you can't

[uncut trellis]

Disable or fix the mods that cause error.

[golden nova]

serverside error, does it mean I'm missing something from CUP or the base game?

[red tinsel]

I need some help. When I'm trying to launch my custom mission(not a default one) on my dedicated server I get the same issue that I had sometime ago on my other dedicated server(it fixed itself). Apparently I have a loop on my server that always restarts the mission, so I can't pick a slot or login as admin. Can anyone help me with this issue?

[fringe salmon]

Why does this mod refuse to install? ive attempted to repair restarted steam uninstalled every other game on steam i have storage re subscribed

[versed trench]

I need someone to help.
I can only hear footsteps, gunshots, helicopters, vehicles and talking mostly in the left ear. Music and my own speaking in singleplayer seems to be working fine but other sounds is mostly on the left side and it gets annoying after a while and is giving me a bit of a headace.

I have tried to search for solutions but found no luck.

It works normaly in spotify, left4dead, and etc. I don't know if it is because its USB or whatever.

[golden nova]

disregard that, after FASTER update had to redownload all mods.

[wise barn]

that's usually an indication for corrupted mods

(as for CUP)

[hoary jetty]

Is anyone else having this problem?

When I switch to the iron sights with another scope mounted to the AK the sights are out of alignment

Tried unloading every mod except cup ace and the compatability mod

Tried it again

But this time only CUP

And the same problem

[drifting osprey]

restart your game lol

if that does not work, might need to verify files. Go to steam, right click arma->properties->localfiles->verify intergrity of game cache

Hope that helps

[steady hawk]

Did you enabled BattlEye?

[drifting osprey]

Yooooooo is that THE POLPOX

[steady hawk]

I am not

[drifting osprey]

Not the one who made the artwork util??

[hoary jetty]

He is not THE POLPOX, he is POLPOX

[snow cargo]

hey im having this crash/exit code not really sure whats up with it (im pretty much a noob when it comes to arma) had my friend post the ss as it wasnt letting me ^^

[steady hawk]

What isaac posts is the code?

[snow cargo]

yeah it wasnt letting me post the ss

[steady hawk]

STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION is really a common/generic error. This itself tells nothing about the error, can't say anything else

[snow cargo]

rip alright well thanks anyway

[steady hawk]

More info could lead to the solution

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_process_exit#0xC0000005_-_ACCESS_VIOLATION
This too

[snow cargo]

all i really know is the code

[steady hawk]

Mods? Missions? Servers?

[snow cargo]

it just randomly happens

[steady hawk]

And the situations?

[snow cargo]

im the only one that seems to be getting the crash in the server im in

[steady hawk]

Try what the link suggests then

[snow cargo]

alright

[glad hearth]

Anyone else getting a bug where the animation "rhs_reloadrpg" randomly plays while holding any rocket launcher? I asked in the forums like more than a year ago but the bug is still there, and appears to be some mod conflict but I have tons of mods enabled. Does anyone know of a fix?

[quaint jewel]

I don't know of any devs playing on linux yet 😄

[pine kite]

Ok, I thought you or Dwarden did. I think I picked it up somewhere here.

Maybe my mistake

[rare turret]

This sounds like an issue with the stereo output. May i ask how you are listening to the game (headphones, speakers etc)

[rare turret]

I think i can fix this i have this error every other day for different reasons maybe one of my fixes may help id just have to run you through what i did. Go to %appdata% on windows and replicate your arma folder as a back up and open the original and rename your profile or completely delete the main folder and then verify game files to fix them, as well ensure steam and arma are running in administratior. You can ensure they automatically do this when right clicking on the arma3.exe or arma3x64.exe whatever your rig runs and hit properties, then compatibility as you look down the options youll see run as admin, enable that. While you are in properties click the security tab and ensure all of your permissions are open do the same thing to steam. As well there is a command you can type through cmd prompt while run in admin that will scan the install location for corrupted files then after that command you type “sfc /scan” I believe. A couple of other things that can help are ensuring you have the current version of direct X, as well as graphics card drivers. As well check your firewall and ensure arma is permitted through. Theres one more thing im forgetting ill update my post. Also check your C drive and see how full it is, it may have trouble caching i noticed that will help

[rare turret]

I have a secondary question to this is there any way to run a sort of compatibility test with your mods? I loaded a ton in and i know its creating some issues but cant tell what is. Shouldve loaded them in groups of like 5

[wise barn]

Pretty sure that's related to it being a USB device with bullshit fake surround emulation and even worse drivers.
You will be fine with analog 3.5mm jacks

[formal laurel]

So I'm trying to run a mission on my server and I keep getting this error, can anyone tell me what this means? I have gm in the command line

[fading oar]

Currently a new player, trying to go through the "Rising Tensions" part of the prologue. When I get to the rifleman in shock, I am unable to find the "treat" option, I've tried CTRL+WIN, holding windows, changing position of approach, nothing yet.

[fading oar]

Nevermind, just unloaded ace.

[meager cradle]

I have a 3070 and I get low fps ingame because arma 3’s engine uses 30-40% of my gpu and only uses all of it on the main me u for some reason

Any mods or fixes for this?

Ping me when responding

[onyx plaza]

holding m causes my effect volume to become really quiet and the only way to fix it is to go back to the main menu then go back into scenario/server

interface audio and everything else works fine still

anyone know why?

no mods or anything

pressing refresh in the audio settings doesnt fix it either

[pine kite]

Don't use mods with vanila campaigns. They are usually not compatible.

[viscid carbon]

Retexture mods should work without problems

[pine kite]

Well, I said usually.

[austere canyon]

uh from where is his

[steady hawk]

Western Sahara

[austere canyon]

so how do i fix it

[steady hawk]

What's your situation after all? Do you have WS?

And Mods?

[fringe salmon]

Having issues with ace and achilles, Both worked beforehand. The day we're ment to play the mission i cant use achilles in zeus nor can i use ace or DCONS vehicle spawner. Others can use ace and dcons, any help?

[fringe salmon]

Anybody?

[pine kite]

Give it more time. Most people in Europe are working now, US is asleep.

[fringe salmon]

Ps : works in singleplayer

[fringe salmon]

Alright new advancement. I've tested it out with a buddy of mine and it turns out that whoever is hosting cannot use ace interaction menu, arsenal, Dcons vehicle spawner, and achilles zeus extension

I've tried repairing the mods that dont work for the one who hosts and nothing worked. This isn't clientside or anything as the person who hosts (could vary) has this problem, not just me.

Does anybody here know of any bug regarding these mods that happens to people who host using lan with hamachi?

[misty pendant]

Turns out I've got two bohemia accounts; one that is ancient and I forgot about, which still has my steam account linked to it. How do I DElink it? There's no option in sight to do so.

[frozen needle]

okay this has been bugging me for around 4 months now, does anyone else just get random lightning strikes occur?

I'm playing multiplayer, on a dedicated server, no one else sees them but they always strike around 50 - 100m away from me

[pure wind]

My friends game crashes when modded vehicles are spawned

[rare turret]

i think i figured it out, its a sync to waypoint i think if not im gonna confirm

[frozen needle]

please do tell

[noble parcel]

i play mine on dp and sometimes the screen blacks out, but i just restart

[worldly thunder]

Has anyone here had any experience with setting up a streamline server for Antistasi?

The server starts but wont allow my group to play the mission. We have played on a dedicated server before with the same mods and are looking to create a fresh start where we can continue on our own time(s).

[short nacelle]

im trying to join a server from the launcher and i cant get past the black loading screen but if i press escape i can go to the main menu

anyone got a clue whats happening

[supple yew]

I also have

[pine kite]

Are you playing a mission with a Zeus operator? (as in multiplayer server) @frozen needle

[supple yew]

yes

[pine kite]

Then that is likely why. Some Zeus player is messing with you guys.

He may be drawing your attention to that place, or drive you away from it. Or he is simply trying to scare you. I think if he really has it out for you he can also direct it on your person.

[frozen needle]

I've asked people. No one is doing it intentionally, it happens in servers where zeus isnt allowed, only happens on my client and even happens while i'm in zeus

[frozen needle]

I think we're the only people that have ever had this issue. Nothing online about it

[supple yew]

It's not a problem, I think this is by design

[frozen needle]

What, random lightning strikes that only occur on one client, destroy terrain objects and cause desync?

I've had a vehicle be destroyed on my client and functional on another, had to reload into the server to fix it

[supple yew]

They do not destroy my buildings

[frozen needle]

Thats odd, it does damage on my end

I'm waiting on the day I just straight up die to it

[supple yew]

When these lightning strikes, I have an advertisement for the DLC.

[frozen needle]

I think someone yesterday said to check some logs after it happens in a mission, so I'm planning on doing that

See I don't get an advertisement, but it looks like the particles on the ground from the strike are the arma 3 DLC icons

[supple yew]

Yes, and sometimes garbage can appear under your feet in the form of a crumpled "advertisement", it can be deployed and there will be an advertisement for the DLC

[pine kite]

Don't know then. I can imagine BI also doing it if they somehow detect piracy. But I guess that is out of the question with you two.

[frozen needle]

I'm going to just try redownloading the game from steam :/

[supple yew]

Perhaps this is due to some mods? Because sometimes they are present, and sometimes they are not visible at all.

[frozen needle]

Its entirely possible its a mod fault

My only thought would be ZEN or Achillies

But surely that would affect every client at that point?

[supple yew]

I even have DLC icons instead of stripes

[supple yew]

Is not a fact

[frozen needle]

Do you mean the stripes that appear on your screen when youre using something?

from a dlc I mean

[supple yew]

No

Instead of "Unit insignia"

Sorry for bad English

you need to set up mikeros tools environment path

occasionally it does not get set up with the tools

I recall there is a guide on that online or in the Mikero tools documentation

or you can do a chat history search too. should come up a few times

How much mods is too much mods size wize

Like optimally does arma run better if it’s 20gbs vs 60gbs

[wise barn]

it's less the amount that as an impact on performance, more the coding / creation of the mods.
one mod, if badly made can 🦆 up your whole game, while it is possible that 30 well made mods have close to no impact

[golden nova]

unless he has an SSD and more than 90% of it is taken by mods, then the drive's speed is reduced significantly and can make game slow down in terms of loading textures and stuff

[rare turret]

I have over 340 mods loaded I’m doing great, using an M.2 drive separate from my OS m.2 drive

The only stuff that really seems to slow down is map mods

[timid compass]

is there anything that can be done about jumpy mouse movement in the horizontal axis when using high zoom levels with UAVs and helicopters?

its like I have a super low DPI mouse but only in the horizontal axis and only in that context

[wise barn]

what you describe sounds like groundlock for the camera

[timid compass]

what's that?

[wise barn]

the cam locks to a position on the ground and stabilises the cam while the UAV is still moving. snapping out of the groundlock it requires some extended mouse movement

[timid compass]

no way to disable it with a keybind or something?

[wet bough]

alright tuff one boys. I just got a new external Soundcard and headset today. its connected to the PC via USB and since today arma crashes with the Error code "0xc0000005 status_access_violation". Apparently its a known problem with arma and USB audio. anyone got a clue how i can fix things so i can commit warcrimes again ?

[humble wagon]

@wet bough check the pinned messages, there is AFAIK no solution for the A3 -> USB headset with Windows besides getting a headset with 3,5mm jack 🤷

im trying to host a non-dedicted server, UPNP is enabled, it is also enabled in my router, i have tried doing it without UPNP enabled, and it still doesnt work. Everyone who tries joining gets "server not responding". I was able to host recently but suddenly I no longer can. (In other games I can host non-dedicated servers completely fine.)

[molten horizon]

So I can't see servers inside of arma, but I can in the launcher but when I join via the launcher, the game loads up and thats it, nothing, I sit on a splash screen indefinitely, I've let the game through the firwall, I've opened ports, restarted the router, uninstalled and re-installed the game several times, uninstalled and re-installed battleye, not that would have any impact on me seeing servers in game

Dumbasses wont get in, Why? using a trigger to wait until Blufor are present to tell the ai to move (they spawn out of the way so the trigger is working but they arent getting in the helo. Is it not enough room?

Member of my unit is getting this error for several mods. Repairing/unsubbing and resubbing to the mod to reinstall have not worked for him. Haven't seen this kind of problem ever so wondering if anyone here might know the reason this is happening?

Anyone know how to fix this error?

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”

[uncut trellis]

@final roost The above is likely what you need to set up so the server can be accessed from outside

Hello everyone!
There's a bug that i came across and i don't know, how to solve it. In editor i placed an object and in the init i wrote some scripts. In a nutshell it has to create a light source that will be attached to the object with a defined vector dir and up. When i run the mission, scripting works. Light source gets created and attached to the object but there's no light. Light source is there but it's not emitting any light. Object physically is present but it's like it wouldn't be there. Player can't see anything. Any suggestions?

I just back to A3 modding and noticed that there is a unswitchable mouse acceleration enabled. 
It is almost impossible to play after 2.0, is there any way to disable it?
Please, my current project is ~30% done, I don't want to leave it

[steady hawk]

Well in the context of general gameplay? It's located in Controls > Mouse

[shy pasture]

😁 Of course the mouse acceleration is disabled in options. If it would be enabled, it was a pure hell. I'm playing from 2014, and I played almost all the last year - and I don't remember such problems at all.

[steady hawk]

[shy pasture]

Any recommendations?

[steady hawk]

Perhaps try a new profile so you can check if it is a profile thing?

[shy pasture]

No

Absolutely the same

[steady hawk]

Try restart while you use the new profile?

If it's not, suspect your mouse's driver

[shy pasture]

I'm restarting a hundred of times during the modding day, no new profiles used at all.

suspect your mouse's driver
No, my Logitech laser mouse is stable as usual, using it in games for more than 3 years. At least in Windows it is absolutely the same.

Suspect the A3 bug, because nothing changed from the last year.

[steady hawk]

Also it's not happening in other games?

[shy pasture]

All works well in other games, of course.
The mouse behaviour in A3 is similar when it has acceleration option enabled, but with lesser effect (~50-70%).
And as I remember, the mouse options looked different before (no green/red acceleration option)?

[steady hawk]

I think that's there for ages?

[shy pasture]

I'll check tomorrow, I believe I have non-updated A3 on another PC.

!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.

THIS IS A FIX FOR THE QUITE COMMON USB HEADSET ISSUE:

There are apparently more than one way to fix things. First thing worked quite well for me to:
Go to your Sound Options and lower the Sound Quality of your Headset. Also lower the Sound Output in Arma itsself. You can keep your computersound up so you‘ll get a decent volume.

The second solution is from Arma Support itsself, so ill just copy the Mail here so you can follow the steps yourself:

Hello,

please navigate to the following folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Steamworks
Shared_CommonRedist\vcredist

and install (right-click and select "Run as administrator") both "vcredist_x64"
and "vcredist_x86" from all folders. Then please open the following folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Steamworks
Shared_CommonRedist\DirectX\Jun2010

and install (right-click and select "Run as administrator") "DXSETUP.exe".

The last thing you have to do is to open the following folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Steamworks
Shared_CommonRedist\DotNet\4.5.2

and install (right-click and select "Run as administrator")
"NDP452-KB2901907-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe".

Thank you.

[quaint jewel]

How does installing .NET framework and DirectX have anything to do with the USB Headset crashing?

[quaint jewel]

"lower the Sound Quality"
What do you mean by that, samplerate or bitdepth or both?

[wet bough]

@quaint jewel go to your sound options -> headset -> properties -> advanced -> pick a lower option

[quaint jewel]

what is your definition of "lower" ?

sample rate?

48000Hz to 44100Hz?

[wet bough]

16 Bits 48k Hz

thats what i have

DVD quality

Apparently Arma doesnt rly like 24 Bit Audio

[quaint jewel]

bitrate then! Thats very interesting! thanks!
Though my audio is 24bit, but I don't use USB
Would've been too easy if just 24bit was broken

[wet bough]

no thats not it. if u use aux ur perfectly fine. the 3.5mm Aux always worked fine. but the Problem occured as soon as i got a new headset and a new amplifier... which is usb... but if it keeps on workin im happy

Hello so I have an issue with Arma (with some mods), after a while playing the game drops to 2 -10 fps and is basically unplayable, the graphics drop to minimum automatically and everything else too. The time between these sort of crashes decreases if I just launch the game again. I have tried reinstalling mods, mod launcher, arma. Nothing helps. I looked up on forums where people had all kinds of solutions which didn't work for me. Does anyone have an idea?

[golden nova]

have you tried play with less mods? usually cutting the numbers by half and checking if game performs better is the best way to verify if it's not some kind of a broken ram/cpu-leaking addon

[indigo chasm]

I play with other people and the mods work for them fine

it is only me

[golden nova]

have you checked the temperatures of your PC during playing maybe they are too high and your PC slows down to avoid dying

[indigo chasm]

nope i did that too

[terse ice]

alright i'm having a weird problem with an out of memory. Whenever I try to place the UNA tank in Editor from the Western Sahara cDLC, ARMA freezes, takes up 23GB of RAM, and then after like 5 minutes it'll either crash with an out of memory error or it'll go down to like 536MB and continue (but the tank that I tried to place won't be anywhere)

but the weird part is the out of memory amount is a negative number

and it happens with and without any other mods

and the wiki doesn't seem to cover this exit code..

I had found an old steam thread that said to try renaming/deleting the documents/Arma 3 and Arma 3 Other Profiles folders and I did that but it didn't really change anything

3 lines that stand out for me are
3:02:02 String STR_LXWS_CfgMods_Overview not found
3:02:02 String STR_LXWS_CfgMods_tooltip not found
3:02:02 String STR_LXWS_Title not found

anyone know what those are?

I deleted the WS folder and it's revalidating through steam but it's validating like 270GB files, so I'll probably see where it's at tomorrow but if anyone else has any other ideas please let me know

I need technical assistance in relation to armalauncher startup

[uncut trellis]

@proper sun state your problem in detail and wait for someone to answer

[proper sun]

there is not much detail other then the following:
whenever I press play on steam the launcher does not open,
it does not start a process on task manager either,
just clicked play shows me as playing for a milisecond does nothing and then goes back to regular online status.
the following remedies were attempted and failed:

1. verifying game files
2. reinstalling game files.
3. opening launcher directly from arma 3 directory
4. starting both steam/arma launcher as admin
5. starting launcher in safe mode
6. starting windows in safe mode
7. disabling (removing) all mods
8. checking and repairing .net cache
9. "Go to Bohemia_Interactive in AppData (or just search in your PC Bohemia_Interactive) and drag out any folder beginning with 'arma3launcher.exe_Url' to your desktop. Then try to run it. If it works, delete the folder you just pulled out to desktop and enjoy" this fix (bohemia_interactive folder does not exist).
10. finding and using files from these folders AppData --> "Arma 3" and "Arma 3 Launcher.", dont exist.
    all remedies were.
11. Checked windows error manager, no error in relation to arma, steam, battleye or graphics...
    attempted atleast 4 times .

[humble wagon]

@proper sun had sort of a same issue in the past when running A3 from a icon placed on the taskbar/separate icon on desktop, do you also use that way to start the A3Launcher? If so you might want to try to start it up directly from the steam game library

[proper sun]

nope

directly from steam

[uncut trellis]

what happens if you run just arma3.exe or arma3_64bit.exe @proper sun

and do you have any of these launcher log files present in your folders

in case you have, put the contents of the highlighted log into pastebin.com and link it here

Any Idea what I can do

[uncut trellis]

nope sorry. you probably need more technical help to debug that.

[pine kite]

@proper sun Any chance that Arma 3 Launcher folder is inside an appdata folder of another user?

Still, probably better to ask Steam support on how to investigate this installation going borked.

any ideas?

[pine kite]

Maybe poeple in #server_linux can help with this.

Also, I don't see why your server has to download a list of other servers. You sure that is the error from the dedicated server and not from your game client?

I suddenly started having audio issues mid-game with SOG weapons (and base game and official DLC guns to an extent), as in shooting sounds. I can hear bullets hitting the ground, and all other sounds work just fine. All other weapons have very muffled sounds but SOG weapons are completely silent.

I don't have any sound mods on, I've verified my files, I restarted the game several times, and I just rebooted my PC, none of which have worked. Any ideas?

Also, two other details:

1. My headset's an Arctis 7 that has been working perfectly fine up until now, and even then, it works just fine with everything but Arma 3.

2. I found out by accident that apparently third person sound effects (namely shooting guns) work just fine; it's just when I go into first person that I have problems.

   it is likely that since it came out of nowhere that a driver / windows update 🦆ed 💩 up...
   fake / digital "surround" emulations also has a high risk to fail with arma.
   put it in pure stereo mode and retry

I managed to fix it by switching "channels" (for lack of a better term) - apparently my headset duplicated itself, so I disabled one channel and switched to the other. It works fine now. Thank you for the advice though.

[jaunty forge]

hey got a bit of a problem with my game, did some googling and the results there arent very useful, anyway

i recently just got a new pc and when i am testing arma ingame after every 10-15 seconds i get an fps drop to like 4-7 for a quick moment and then it goes back to 60. it just is this endless cycle.

ironically the laptop i swapped over from had way worse frames but atleast it didnt drop like this

would appericate some help or advice cheers

[pine kite]

Hard to say from a distance. See with taskmanager if there is an application running in the background taking CPU priority every now and then. Or there is a #monitor command to give Arma 3 statistics on a regular basis on a (localhosted) server: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Multiplayer_Server_Commands

[jaunty forge]

ehm nothing is taking cpu priority but what seems strange is that arma is only using like 5-9% of the processor

[pine kite]

Check if this happens with any mission or a specific one, or any particular servers that have specific missions.

And test without mods.

[jaunty forge]

@pine kite tested without any mods enabled

tried multiplayer the issue is still there
tried different maps in the editor the issue is still there

[ornate ivy]

I just had this error upon loading into the game, I've owned the game for a year (bought it off steam during last winter sale i think) and never seen this, played arma last night with no issues

[dull hound]

where are you launching the game from? server browser will show you what mods are allowed on each server

[ornate ivy]

It's not a mods issue, it turns out something is just weird with the mission file we're using

gives everyone that message

Ive been whanting to host servers and or get a dedicated server for a while now. For some odd reason my router dosent have the UPNP option. Ive checked the paper back booklet that came with it and found the service manual online. any sugjestions

[pine kite]

Port forward UDP protocol port range 2302-2306 to the private IPv4 address of the server. And open the firewall for just those ports.

[strong basin]

i dont know what any of that means

[wise barn]

!localhost

[rustic eagle]

To host a server or a game session locally, you need to make sure first that your WAN address / external IP uses the IPv4 protocol!
Check your router’s status page in the settings to confirm. (If in doubt, ask your ISP, Websites like “whatismyip.com” give you a false positive!)
Local servers and games can not be hosted on an IPv6 network, or IPv4 via DSlite tunnel!

[pine kite]

Maybe that servicemanual explains how to port forward manually with those data.

sadly no

For whatever reason, Arma isn’t letting me host a server for me and 3 friends. I have checked that ports 2302 and 2303 are open and the server is set to multiplayer, I have selected just the tank tutorial but they can’t find the server anywhere

[neat spoke]

dang it, well thx for reply. i'll find what i can do

[steady hawk]

[pine kite]

Port forward the entire UDP protocol port range 2302-2306 in your router. Not just those 2.

[kind bison]

I have no idea what that means

But what I’m getting from it is that I need to open 2302-2306

Hey I've just got a bit of an issue with a mod I'm making. It's an ORBAT so pulling assets from other mods and so far it's been going quite well with shifting from ALiVE to Drongo's however I've come across an issue I have no idea how to fix. Went booting up the mod from a local file I'll get a "Circular Addon Dependency" error. I've been combing through the two factions I currently have and only one works while the other, with most of the same assets some have been removed, seems to be giving the error. I'm not entirely sure what the problem is so could someone explain to me what this error means and maybe a way I can fix it?

[viral wasp]

Guys, there's something that has puzzled me for quite a while. Hasn't been a problem since I got my new PC, but now I'm relying on the laptop again, and I wanna play some sweet Arma:

So, right now f.e as I'm typing everything works fine. However, when I launch Arma and play for a while, it somehow "jams" my windows-key. I do have ACE, so it's an issue. By jamming I mean, it recognized that my windows-key is being pressed all the time. So if I press L, it'll recognize it as Win+L and lock me out of the desktop. Pressing R will open run program. The keyboard language etc are as supposed to, and Windows key is NOT stuck, I couldn't even write this if it was. And the problem does not go away when I close Arma.

Has anyone had anything similar or have any idea what could cause this?

[wise egret]

Nvm, managed to fix

[uncut trellis]

many keys can be toggled by double tapping

perhaps you have done that?

[viral wasp]

Double tapping Windows?

I’ll look into that.

[viral wasp]

I disabled sticky key shortcuts etc, well, still opens self-interaction menu from left ctrl (should be it + win key) and can't ace interact with anything that should be with win. Didn't try to press L etc in-game but at least now after I alt+f4'd it does allow me to type here.

Just to add: yes, the binds for ace interactions are correct

I can't get my head around this..

[pine kite]

Make sure the headset is selected as default output device in Windows. Check if you can use the headset with a 3.5mm jack connector as analog connection to your PC to rule out this being the issue. Some USB headsets refuse to work with Arma 3. (my SteelSeries Artic 1 Wireless has no problem with it)

Yup defaulted. No 3.5mm jack option. Just gotta try pinned message solutions and hope for the best

[uncut trellis]

maybe you have some other mod that breaks it

its no longer in developoment though so not much can be done about it

[patent kettle]

check your RPT if the mod is loaded. The error would suggest it's not being loaded.

[viral wasp]

Any idea on this guys?

[viral wasp]

It seems that if I press windows, it takes like a second for the interaction menu to open, after which it stays open and doesn't close. After this pressing the CTRL open self interaction. But it's not like Windows is stuck, because if I look at another player/vehicle etc, it doesn't show the interaction menu.. Tapping ctrl+win gets rid of it, but it comes back as soon as I try to open interaction menu again.

[uncut trellis]

sounds like somehow it always doubletaps

like free look

if you press alt you can turn head around right

but if you double tap alt it toggles the free look and can look around even if Alt is not pressed

Alright, so I just installed PBO manager to edit some config files, but when I save the .sqf files and re-open them, the changes are not saved

[sinful tree]

Has anyone had an audio issue that only gives audio to the left ear (right ear is 100%) ? right ear gets minimal audio like crickets and birds no gunshot audio. tried different pair of headphones and earbuds, checked integrity of game files, tried changing in game settings, tried with and without mods, Haven't tried a reinstall that's my last resort

[steady hawk]

PBO Manager is not a proper way to edit a PBO. Also modifying a config file in an existed PBO is not recommended. All you need is just to make a new PBO and make it into a Mod

[unique jewel]

ok, how do I do both of those things?

[steady hawk]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Creating_an_Addon
Read this one or ask in #arma3_config

[unique jewel]

I'm just trying to use a file that already exists to make an equipment whitelist, and change a single variable in the config, it says on the github for the mod this is something I'm supposed to be able to do

[steady hawk]

Not sure what you mean

[unique jewel]

Ok, let me explain my whole situation, just a moment

So I'm trying to set up an Operation Trebuchet Liberation game, and the arsenal by default includes all the base game and ace items. I want to whitelist the operation trebuchet assets and some ace items. All I have to do in the PBO is change a single variable in the mission config file, and then put the equipment tags in an already-existing .sqf file.

[steady hawk]

Okay, so, that's not a Mod but a mission

[unique jewel]

Yes, that I know, but still, the .sqf files are not saving.

[steady hawk]

So, first of all, PBO Manager actually has an ability to make or modify a PBO. However it is very dumb way since it can corrupt anything easily, and not really efficient way in some terms

I would recommend to use the software just to browse and extract. I think extracting the PBO into Eden Editor, edit the SQF file, repack via Eden Editor so modified PBO is there. That'll do?

[unique jewel]

how do I extract a PBO into Eden Editor?

[steady hawk]

Do you know how to extract a PBO into a folder?

[unique jewel]

no. I learned PBOs exist about 45 minutes ago

[steady hawk]

IIRC right click on the PBO in the Explorer, it should have the menu to extract

[unique jewel]

It gives me an error, let me take a screenshot

error message is "Can not open file as archive"

[steady hawk]

Not sure how did you got the PBO but try again from re-download?

[unique jewel]

same thing

I unsubscribed from the mission on steam workshop, deleted the file, and re-subscribed

which re-downloaded it, and trying to extract it gave the same error "Can not open file as archive"

[steady hawk]

Okay, gimmie bit...

Do you have Arma 3 Tools?

[unique jewel]

I don't know what those are. Where can I find them?

[steady hawk]

Steam

[unique jewel]

installing now

[steady hawk]

Shouldn't take so long

[unique jewel]

[steady hawk]

Agree to EULA (Of course you need to read it) and launch it

[unique jewel]

alright, it's up

[steady hawk]

Open BankRev

[unique jewel]

got it

[steady hawk]

And that's where you can extract a PBO. Drag and drop the PBO and proceed

[unique jewel]

another error message, failed to convert one file

says a prefix is missing

[steady hawk]

Well... Can I try the PBO? Where you did find it?

[unique jewel]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2394399881

this is where I got it from

[steady hawk]

🤔 I could extract via PBO Manager

Can you open it PBO Manager once again?

[unique jewel]

I could too, I just can't save my edits

[steady hawk]

Ah?

Think I've misunderstood something perhaps

So, you have the folder that named mission?

[unique jewel]

I need to change a variable in one .sqf in the pbo, and add some tags for equipment in a second .sqf

let me tell you which exactly

one sec

[steady hawk]

Ah no need to do

So, the current situation, you have the folder that extracted from the PBO right?

[unique jewel]

yes, but I can only extract it with PBO manager, not arma tools

7zip won't work either

[steady hawk]

7zip is not a PBO packer

[unique jewel]

I had a feeling

[steady hawk]

So, rename the folder into Mission.OPTRE_Madrigal

Put it into your Eden Editor's mission folder

[unique jewel]

correction

ah figured it out

[unique jewel]

do you want me to put the extracted PBO contents into the mp missions folder, or put those contents inside a folder inside the mp missions folder?

[steady hawk]

Urm, no. Lead to this article: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Profile
and put the folder into where Eden Editor recognizes (Missions folder in the profile) so it can be edited. After that you can edit the SQF, then Export it via Eden Editor

[unique jewel]

I'm able to open it in eden, but i need eden enhanced. Easy fix, just a moment

[unique jewel]

I've got it open in Eden Editor. What now?

[steady hawk]

Edit those SQFs

[unique jewel]

How?

[steady hawk]

Open the folder in Explorer, just as usual

[unique jewel]

oh, and just edit the text files?

[steady hawk]

Ya

After that, you can export the mission via Eden Editor, File (top-left button) > Export (That's how it named IIRC) > Multiplayer

[unique jewel]

It works! Thanks so much!!!!!!

Need help with battleye initialization failed message

Only happening with 1 server

Just loaded up another server ran by same guys and it's working.. just that 1 server

[near sandal]

me and my friend have tried joining each other for an hour and a half now and it doesn't want to work. we make the server and it boots but if we try to join through steam we get a message "server not responding" and it never works through direct connect. yes upnp is on and everything but it's just the joining that screws for both of us.

[pine kite]

Then the UPnP isn't working because the router likely does not support it. You will have to manually port forward UDP protocol ports 2302-2306 to the private/LAN IPv4 address of the computer hosting the server. The one that hosts will have to log into his router and configure that.

[fringe salmon]

Heya, so, every time I join my server, I status access violation and the game closes. This server is running the same mods and the same configuration as a different server, and I can join that one without an issue. Any ideas?

[pine kite]

Does it also crash with status access violation when you are not running with mods?

[fringe salmon]

I can't test that because I can't connect to either server without the mods

What the fuck

I found the issue.

Arma is trying to, and somehow succeeding, to access files from another game.

"Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.
Exception Info: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\rinka\Downloads\Barotrauma.v0.15.22.1\Barotrauma.v0.15.22.1\Mods\2JIEN+\content\Characters\Human'."

WHY IS IT ACCESSING BAROTRAUMA FILES?

[pine kite]

I don't really know. Did you select local mods in the launcher and accidentally pointed it to somewhere in your downloads folder?

[fringe salmon]

Somehow it appears my game client has gained access to and started reading data from .cs files located in the directory of another game entirely, I haven't selected any local mods that I am aware of, only steam mods, so this is extremely unusual.

No wonder the game is freaking out

Those aren't it's files 😅

[pine kite]

Sure you can configure your server to be just vanilla Arma 3 missions from Bohemia only.

[fringe salmon]

That's true, but that doesn't seem like it's going to fix this issue, when the issue appears to be the client reading files from a different game.

I'm just gonna delete the game it's accessing, it's 800mb. I can just change the directory later if I want to play it.

[pine kite]

It helps to narrow down where the error is. In the server setup on it's own, or in mods, or in missions.

[fringe salmon]

True, but this is the error in its entirety

At least, I'm assuming it is. It's under a event minidump created by the game after it crashed

Unless... Could I be looking at the wrong error here? It appears there's multiple errors in this folder for different apps. I may have jumped to a conclusion here

[pine kite]

I only know that BI developers can check the crashdump files for the cause of crashing if you upload the required files to the Feedback tracker site: https://feedback.bistudio.com/

[fringe salmon]

Yes but I kinda need this error fixed in less than an hour 😅

[pine kite]

Let Steam verify your game client and server install?

[fringe salmon]

Aha, I figured it out. The file I am looking at is a global dump of all crashes in the last 7 days from every app I own on steam - I was actually looking at a Barotrauma game crash from a few days ago. Scrolling up the list, I've found the arma exception, and this is the error here:

Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.

This might not even be todays error, as there's no timestamp, but it is the only arma error in this file.

The only thing you can say for sure about it that it talks about Steam and 'a launcher' that wants to do something with viewmodels. Doesn't seem like something the Arma 3 launcher does.

[fringe salmon]

Oh it does say Application arma3launcher.exe a few lines above it

[pine kite]

Well, unless a green person is bored, I guess you are out of luck in the next hour. I'm sure the want to have a weekend.

[fringe salmon]

I've fixed the issue

Uninstalling Barotrauma and plugging in my controller (literally the only two differences in launch conditions) has fixed it

[void yoke]

Western Sahara doesn't appear in game? Help

Ah I think I figured it out

[valid bay]

every time i press caps lock to use push to talk my game freezes does any one know what the problem is

nevermind i got it

[hoary jetty]

Wontfix? Does this mean I’m doomed from this ever being fixed?

[unique jewel]

anybody who's good at error messages know what this means?

[unique jewel]

also this

they came about at the same time, feels related

[steady hawk]

First one, bad mission code, last one, bad Mod

[wise barn]

Wrong Discord, but yes

[pale sentinel]

My F12 camera is not working, been down for a few weeks now. My Steam settings are set properly, my in game controls are properly set, but no screenshots are made any more. What gives?

[uncut trellis]

Steam overlay turned off?

Mayhaps need to contact steam tech support?

[fringe salmon]

friends getting this when trying to join - any ideas?

[untold fractal]

Increase the steamProtocolMaxDataSize on the server. See: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Server_Config_File

[inland frost]

hello i keep getting these error messages when i try to play the game

[rustic eagle]

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

[inland frost]

Thanks

[pine kite]

I don't know if you are doomed, but yeah, that cup team or whatever this is from is not doing anything about it whatever it means.

[sick ferry]

I tried loading the Arma 3 terrain builder but it just crashes without visible error, is there a way to fixÉ

[uncut trellis]

install it and the tools and P drive according to PMCwiki tools and P drive setup guides and try again

[distant breach]

I used to be able to middle mouse click my scroll wheel menu to interact and use the middle mouse button to move camera on the map in Eden but it seems despite keybindings to not work any more? Any ideas on what I changed?

[main forum]

did it work @inland frost ?

[inland frost]

I don't know which i should check

Still confused

[main forum]

try both

[inland frost]

All the add-ons have no problems

It's the game

[steady hawk]

You just need to verify your game

[inland frost]

how

[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

[inland frost]

i did all of it but still dunno what problem

[grizzled orbit]

I have a strangely spezific problem. as soon as i start the motor of a helicopter my game crashes but only if i have ingame sounds on my bluetooth headset. if i set the ingame sound to speakers i have no problems while flying. Also i have no mods installed

[wise barn]

Your wireless drivers are the issue (as with all fucked up lazy coded wireless audio drivers)
Nothing you can do I'm afraid

[grizzled orbit]

seriously?

thanks for the info at least now i know where the problem comes from ill try updating the drivers but i havent got much hope

[wise barn]

Me neither

[timber kettle]

anyone know why i get those messages

or when i try to connect to a wasteland sv it crashes basically and it doesent let me in, and a few servers tell me i have missing files or something

[wise barn]

@timber kettle
Don't use the in game server browser. Use the arma 3 launcher server browser. It will prompt you to download or load required mods.

[uncut trellis]

not found == wrong mods loaded

[timber kettle]

i meann

I use ge force to play

[uncut trellis]

well that sucks

[timber kettle]

Isn't there any way to fix that ? Or download mods idk

[uncut trellis]

for you that is

youll have to ask GFsupport about that

its their service

[timber kettle]

And why isn't wasteland loading, it doesn't pop anything just basically crashes

Idk if it's about ge force

[uncut trellis]

very likely

I dont know anyone with proper experience with it

[restive sequoia]

nope, you can join modded servers with GeForce NOW

[timber kettle]

you have any experience with it?@restive sequoia

[restive sequoia]

no but i know it work since we have clients with it on our server

[timber kettle]

@restive sequoia can you dm me your sv and see if i can join

[restive sequoia]

[timber kettle]

Oh thank you

[fringe salmon]

someone help because when something explodes there is a massive fire patch which starts spreading

[wise barn]

What...?

[pine kite]

Do you want us to call the firedepartment? If so, which island or terrain and what town? And where is the location of the fire?

Also, don't cross-post into other channels

[humble wagon]

Did someone ring my 🚒 bell? 😉

@fringe salmon are you running mods? Could be 1 of the mods as fire in vanilla is kinda static (still hurts if you get to close).

[neat mantle]

it seems that the server my unit uses isn't accepting any of the keys for the mods i have. why is this happening all of a sudden?

[shut swan]

My Arma 3 is failing to load all of a sudden. was there an update recently or that might have wiped these mods? it was working just the other day.

Exception code: E06D7363  at 196FD759

Note that I had to 'hack' the Intercept and ArmaScriptProfiler in order to account for the previous snafu. Not sure if that was resolved at its root causes yet.

personally I don't care about CBAStatemachineView, it is not that useful in my cases, and was never truly able to get it to work properly anyway.
however ArmaScriptProfiler and Intercept both are pretty useful, notwithstanding the previous snafu for which I had to repackage it as a local mod with versioning etc. not sure if that has been accounted for yet in its build process.

[shut swan]

Opened an issue, but probably the ASP discord is a better venue... https://github.com/dedmen/ArmaScriptProfiler/issues/27

[fringe salmon]

Hello, i've been having a problem with arma 3, whenever i try to Edit Profile, it crashes automaticly, with the report of Exit code: 0xC0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
Can someone help me about it please? It also deleted my Campaign saves,

[steady hawk]

More situation please. STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION is nothing but just a "generic error and did CTD", so better to state more things like used Mods

[fringe salmon]

I didn't used mods, i just had 3 DLC, one day i opened game and saw my whole save was gone, and i go to the Profile, and my Profile wasn't there, when i created a new one and pressed on "Apply" it just crashed.

[steady hawk]

Tried to verify the game?

[fringe salmon]

Did,

[steady hawk]

My wild guess says the game has no access to the profile folder. Where it is and can you get there?

[fringe salmon]

I don't know where is it to be honest, i'm kinda new to Windows.

[fringe salmon]

We really need a solution to that,

[steady hawk]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Profile
Do you have it there?

[fringe salmon]

yea

i got the profiles

[fringe salmon]

Got all of em there

[steady hawk]

And where it is? In OneDrive if it is, that's problematic AFAIK

[fringe salmon]

Local disk..?

[steady hawk]

C or D or such?

[fringe salmon]

C

[steady hawk]

Hmm 🤔

[fringe salmon]

it never happened

[steady hawk]

Like for the first time in a while?

[fringe salmon]

it started to happen when i tried to open arma 3 without internet connection,

yea,

[steady hawk]

Hmm, do you have OneDrive enabled just in case?

[fringe salmon]

yea, i think so

uninstalled arma 3 twice,

[steady hawk]

And, I'm sorry that I don't really know how the OD works but do you have Documents folder in it and so the Arma's profile?

[fringe salmon]

yes

i deleted the 2022 profiles

[steady hawk]

That's probably where your Arma trying to look

[fringe salmon]

it never happened before

odd

[steady hawk]

Because you don't have an internet connection for once, so OD access too

In your Launcher, you have "parameters" and "profiles" in it.
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Startup_Parameters#Profile_Options

You probably need to tell the game where your profile should be, than OD

[fringe salmon]

I made a new file, named it arma3 profiles, and set the profile folder in Parameters to that, it worked.

But my old profile's gone.

[steady hawk]

You can just copy n paste the old one

[fringe salmon]

yes i am running mods

[humble wagon]

@fringe salmon That could be the cause, what mods are you using? You could try turning (selectively) off/on some mods and see if it still happens and if you find the mod the mod that is causing it contact the mod owner to see if there is a solution (could be 2 mods conflicting).

[fringe salmon]

these are the mods im using

[humble wagon]

Well I can't tell what mod will be conflicting, best is to turn them off 1 by 1 (probably the mods with explosion/fire/visual enhanced features will be the cause) and play, turning them on an off, to see if it happens again, if find what mod it is you can contact/reply for the mod on steam workshop to see if anyone else has the issue.

[gloomy tapir]

yo has anyones buldozer refused to create a viewer?

[fringe sky]

Morning All!

We’ve been having an issue with Zeus on a dedicated server for my unit.

Long story short, after a certain time the Zeus interface will ‘lock out’ and only allow the Zeus to place units, where they will be unable to use any modules or even remote control the AI. To be able to regain control the Zeus needs to log completely out of server/restart game before rejoining, and regaining control.

This has occurred over multiple Modsets, since the last main game update Q3 2021, and across several individuals acting as the Zeus.

Looking over the forums this seems to have been a historic known issue which has been fixed in the past, but obviously has come back. Thus:

1. Is this issue known?

2. Are there any known fixes to this Issue?

3. If no known fixes, are there any steps we can do to minimise this occurring?

4. If this is a known issue, are BI working on a fix?

[molten badger]

iirc CBA can cause that to happen. Have a look in the settings for it under Fire or something like that

[patent kettle]

That's ACE, CBA has no gameplay features itself.

[molten badger]

It is? I seem to remember that it happened to me before and CBA was the mod responsible as I didn't have ACE then. But then again, may be mistaken

[pine kite]

CBA is an code-infrastructure mod that other mods can use to make stuff happen. From the Steam page: What does the name Community Base Addons mean? It is a system that: Offers a range of features for addon-makers and mission designers. It doesn't do anything on it's own. Besides perhaps show up in the addons menu.

[thorn swift]

I have a joystick attached, it's mostly well programmed, but for some reason the hat switch position 0 zooms my view in and locks it there - despite me not seeing it listed as a control for zoom.

In fact, it seems to be a separate zoom function that I can effectively zoom in and out from.

So it's like... jumping to 100%, but limits me to 50% back unless I hit it again

Okay... on foot, it ALSO raises my gun.

So I zoom past it, then snap back to iron sights

Alright, unmapping seems to have corrected it, but of course I have to map it again. I'm assuming it's a function of the automapping options, but that's real annoying :/

[grim patrol]

so i have a problem that every 4 seconds i get lag spike any possible solution?

[wise barn]

is your game on HDD or SSD?

[uncut trellis]

Custom composition download bug maybe?

[real roost]

Qilin Light classname editor?

[analog sluice]

Does fullscreen windowed not work for anyone? My arma keeps opening in a window I dont want to use, but fullscreen windowed seems to just go to fullscreen on the monitor i do not want to use.

[craggy mango]

I am trying to launch my server with some mods and I am getting entry errors, the only issue is that they are blank, like no information. This is the error: Warning Message: No entry '.model'.

It just says .model and I dont know what to do with this information

[steady hawk]

Bad Mods can cause it

And we really don't know which Mod does that, just unload one by one to figure it out

[ionic hawk]

#arma3_scenario message I apologise for crossposting. But I'm replying to another user's post in the previous channel to confirm that I have the same problem. I've asked this question before and got the answer to delete a file called subscribedcontent.list located in Documents\Arma 3\Saved\steam\meta . This did not fix the problem. The file was recreated when Arma restarted.

I then unbinarised subscribedcontent.list to read its contents. True, the composition ID can be found in there for two different subscribed steam workshop items. But when I search for other keywords (names, author, et cetera) the two error producing compositions cannot be found in the Steam Workshop. So I suppose I can now more accurately explain the error: Arma cannot find two subscribed compositions that are no longer on the Steam Workshop. But that does not solve the problem. Does anyone have a better idea on how to fix this recurring, highly annoying error?

[patent kettle]

I would suggest making a feedback tracker ticket about this as it IMHO should be fixed in-game, if any of your subscribed compositions is removed then you're stuck with that error.

I was able to get rid of the error by removing one of the files that tracks subscribed compositions but I do not remember which one.

[ionic hawk]

Alright; thank you. Here's to demonstrating public attention by subscription to the issue: https://feedback.bistudio.com/T160334

[quaint jewel]

FT tickets don't get "upvoted" :pout_kitty:

[patent kettle]

they get subscribed

[grizzled jasper]

Has anyone had the problem wear AI are wearing random face wear? And how to stop it? Civis running round wearing ski masks and peltors, and loads of other random stuff.. completely ruins the game, any fixes?

[thorn swift]

My throttle has a mini joystick on it; its useful for controlling the targeting pod, but can I use it to control the map screen as well?

[void fjord]

hey I got a problem that I cant load my saves from missions

It doesnt even show that I played the mission

but in my saves folder I can see that I played the mission and have multiple saves on it

[pine kite]

Probably saved in an older version. You can only revert to the previous version by changing the branch in Steam game properties in the library: Arma3Legacy204 for version 2.04

branchcode= legacy ; Accesscode Arma3Legacy204 https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Steam_Branches

Someone also posted somewhere that you could hack the file with a (hex)editor to make it not be picky about the version. But I can't remember the details.

[void fjord]

It's weird because I played and saved in that mission today

[pine kite]

Ok, that would be weird then. I am not familiar with that specific mission.

[void fjord]

Well it happens with every mission I play tried reinstalling and all things

[proven geode]

Whats that and how to fix it??

[pine kite]

That is a generic error message saying that it crashed. Report the problen at that feedback tracker, upload crash files and hope one of the devs can look at it tomorrow morning.

These are the known common error codes with some possible ways to solve it. No garuantees though. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_process_exit

hey i am trying to install western sahara on my dedicated server, its my first time trying to install a CDLC
after googling i tried to download the manifest over steam console but i am getting a error message
i used download_depot 233780 1681170 3532926674285073020 but its telling me "manifest not available"
can someone help?

[pine kite]

You need to get the server on the creatorDLC branch. Then it gets all the cDLC downloaded (so make sure you have the space for it) and a mod folder for the cDlC should appear in the server root folder.

[proven geode]

I got a message yesterday with Cannot create DirectX11
