Never seen such a error, but might be hardware specific. My guess is it was actually saying resolution 1920 - 1080. And you were perhaps trying to play the game graphics with an onboard Intel GPU. Those generally have less performance than dedicated GPUs. If you have one then you may need to tell your graphics driver to run it with that. The onboard Intel does not seem to cut it.
idk how to do that :)))
Did you Googled it? I see some Arma 3 related posts
And some actually suggest some solutions
E_OUTOFMEMORY
well... your laptop CPU with integrated GPU has not enough VRAM left
¯_(ツ)_/¯
no, it's hardware related
Arma 3 is not GTA...
you could try to increase the page file size
Please don't spam Enter, stick to a few posts
So, for real talk, did you tried to launch with some Mods or whatever?
WHAT THE FU-- all of years of finding the bug and all i needed is a FUcking restart????
Language please.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Problem solved I guess?
No that is a error message that says "Hey I just told you in a message box whats wrong and why I cannot continue running. I have killed myself now, please refer to what I just told you before"
That usually is nothing for a feedback tracker ticket, thats just a waste of our time, it already told the user whats wrong, the user just has to read that.
I stand corrected then. Never seen an additional message box from that. But haven't seen that error that I can remember either.
Shouldn't that be added to the wiki then?
Is there any Arma 3 Altis Map before everything was destructed?
Like all buildings in Oreakastro are destroyed
damn well a pre "civil-war" altis map would be a great dlc idea lol
I need some help with crashes
Exact problem: whenever I try to boot up arma 3 will crash with the windows message “arma 3 is not responding”. Note that under different conditions it is different. Those being:
-Without mods loaded: works fine but is stuck on loading screen for a while
-with mods(what I want to do): will either load after a long period of time but crash when loading into a server, or crash entirely. (Usually the latter one)
Note that I have tried both of these with and without the “run as admin option”
What I have tried so far:
Update graphics drivers, verify integrity of game files, uninstall and reinstall, and as stated before, running as admin.
If you can help please Dm me.
Thanks
So im currently trying to setup and arma server and i have it all working except battle eye (i need battleye) it keeps kicking me from the server saying "Battleeye client not responding..."
pls ping me

mic input isnt working... i am using airpods and I tried the second solution in the pinned messages and still doesnt work
i even tried out my headsets and they also didnt work
have you set that mike as steam default?
not just as steam default, it must be system / windows default
yes i have
bluetooth devices mostly don't work with arma. the cause is how bluetooth works.
very technical and tricky to explain...
the core is, bluetooth switches transmitting / channel modes on the fly (has mic input on standby until needed) and arma does not like switching input related stuff on the fly
i see
well I do have a headset so if I use that and change all inputs and what not it will it work?
i forgot to mention but i kept my input on my laptops mic, the output was set to my airpods
@wise barn i am using my headset and still no one can hear me, although my name pops up when i activate
no idea...
Is Battleye even enabled in the Battleye tab of the launcher?
yes
Maybe your Antivirus prevented the service from installing.
its disabled
Alternatively you can disable the requirement for battleye in your server config files. But that would prevent protection from cheating players joining you.
yea and i would like that XD
Do you have the Battleye service shown in the Windows Services window? You need admin credentials to use that.
ALso consider this FAQ from Battleye: https://www.battleye.com/support/faq/
I had issues with it too for a while. But I don't remember how I fixed it.
I followed this guide (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1603895838) to try to update my mod, but while I see the songs in the music module, they do not play. I've fixed all the typos in the code, but it still doesn't work. Any Ideas why?
Hey, my arma launcher is stuck on "Initializing Addons". The game won't load, any ideas?
Okay, disabling BattleEye is a temporary fix
Are some of your mods broken?
No, i think something with battleeye was holding up the loading
My mods keep saying they’re corrupted when I am having to repair each of them
see pinned messages
Hello I have to change the location of my wrp file and when I want to binarize my map this error is displayed can you help me please
like it says it does not know where the config for the wrp is
if config is not next to the wrp you need to tell pboProject where it is in the settings
i am trying to upload a file to arma 3 publisher to upload it to steam workshop but it always comes up with this red error message does anyone know how to fix it?
what is strange is that the wrp file is in the same as that of the config, I moved all my project @uncut trellis
did you update the configs folder paths?
Yes @uncut trellis
I'll try
how do i fix it?
remove all mods from the addons folder
like that ?
for this
so uninstall them?
for future terrain making questions best to use #arma3_terrain
or move them somewhare else?
no you have manually isntalled stuff into your addons folder
workshop does not put them there
whare are they meant to be?
in separate mod folders
like arma3@separateMod1
there are guides on setting up local mods in the web
or you could just stick to workshop mods as those are a lot more simpler to use
i did sub to them on workshop
idk why they are in wrong place
If you didn't manually save them in the addons folder then the mod-maker messed it up. Don't use said mod.
Hello
Fix: Unsubscribe from bad mod. Shutdown the game and launcher. Remove every file in the Addon folder. Verify the game through Steam.

Im am so lost im trying to create a server and my friend cant see the server in the list
woops wrong command
!localhost
To host a server or a game session locally, you need to make sure first that your WAN address / external IP uses the IPv4 protocol!
Check your 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”
That lan cable leads to a router. You need to set portforwarding up in that router config.
Mine doesnt
Mine leads to a plug which goes through the electricity which goes to a wifi booster
Then it is the config in the other end of the wifi connection.
The booster receives a wifi signal from the wifi router. You need to get into the config menu of that router.
@timid crypt
you seem to miss out on basic knowledge on how a home network works.
you need to do some googeling first before you try to edit anything in your home network like changing port settings on your router (the big box somewhere on the wall where a cable from your ISP plugs in and the distributes internet to your house via LAN and WIFI)
Yes, I agree, it is not so much specific to the game. It is general computer networking knowledge. Just the ports and protocol mentioned in the bot response are specific to the game. Many games need portforwarding in the internet router to allow you to host a server to the internet. (on different ports and protocol)
Does anyone know why i keep getting this when joing a server
yes. you are trying to join a server without the required mods set up correctly. never join a server via in game server browser, always use the arma 3 launcher browser
the arma 3 launcher server browser will prompt you for missing mods and downloads them IF they are available on the steam workshop
many life servers use custom "modpacks" tho, which are usually not on the workshop because they are packed with ripped and stolen content
trying to connect to a server but its stuck downloading on 36kb out of 5000
my internets fine
Is that for all servers? Or just that one? If the later, then just find a different one or contact the server admin.
this error doesn't mean anything, it's generic
oh
do you use USB or bluetooth headphones
bluetooth
then see pinned messages here
I dont have a audio issue
the game crash when in helicopter is directly associated with your headphones being connected by bluetooth
👆
if you don't believe me then just disconnect them and restart the game
you do have audio issue
will work smoothly
alright
Crashes when i enter any vehicle
Umm when Ever I die in SP i cant respawn or abort without having to restart the entire mission i tried with mods and without and it says a folder is missing for that but I havent messed with any of my folder
we don't know what folder you're missing either, give a screenshot or the error text
So posting on behalf of someone else, he's having issues with workshop downloading mods, but arma doesn't recognise them as installed. Just "The mod you want to load is waiting to be installed".
Tried reinstalling Arma, steam, uninstalling all mods and installing just one. Cleared steam download cache, restarted PC, not a disk space issue.
why does arma keep crashing
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Seriously is this a rant or a troubleshoot?
troubleshoot
Okay then, post the troubleshoot. Your previous post just sounds like a rant
i made a faction mod for my unit using the Alive orbat creator and uploaded it to the workshop but when it is enabled the faction does not show in the editor at all does anyone know how this fix this issue?
what else so i need to say? It just keeps crashing and idk why
Everything else than that. You didn't even say what was the situation, Mods, whatevers
i just got the game and i play single player or rhe patrol mode for about 30mins and then it crashes
dont have any mods
So why is almost every ACE3 PBO I got outdated?
ACE is version 3.13.0.45.
i reinstalled ACE and still the same
i fixed some of my mods in that log
i just need help with ACE
Did you tried to verify the game?
Whats that mean?
!steamverify
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
What does it do?
It verifies if you have the right game files in your install, or if there is a corruption of the files. And it downloads the correct ones to fix it.
Oh yeah, the probability of Arma 3 files becoming corrupted after downloading and installing from Steam is greater than 50%.
Also, this isn't relevant to you right now, but if you ever get a specific set of mods with your friends and you reinstall Arma after like a fresh Windows install, new PC or a new SSD or something, and you just go straight to downloading all those mods again, you need to start Arma 3 at least once without any mods before starting it with mods.
hmm
I've heard of a specific SteelSeries headset causing crashes with Arma, but I figure you don't have that. With my experience with this SteelSeries mouse, I'd lay the blame 100% on SteelSeries for that 😂
Lol i have a steel series headset
uh oh
No crashes with my Steel Series 1 headset for me. No audio issues whatsoever with USB wireless dongle connected.
"char drive"? What the hell is that?
If the headset is connected on USB/Bluetooth, guess that's why
It was called something like SteelSeries Arctic 7, pretty sure not "Arctic" but a word similar to it.
chat
thats what i use
"chat drive" still doesn't make much sense.
arctics 7 with dongle
IME I guess
idk man thats just what some fourm said
USB Dongle right?
Yea
Try the pinned solution
I was able to fix it
Hey any idea when i joined this server i was running 40fps capped and on other servers 100+
40 fps still even with low settong and very high
server setup / mission / ect has also a siginificant impact on FPS.
keep your settings on autodetection, that's about the best you can do
I keep randomly getting a black screen on arma 3. I spend around like... 20-30 minutes playing before my game just randomly blackscreens and crashes without an error code.
What audio/headset do you have? USB?
Id update gpu drivers
Mayb that too
Anyone know why I can't download this?
(waves hand) 'That is not the Arma 3 Launcher you are looking for' The one from Bohemia Interactive that is started by Steam does the same and is supported and free and already on your system.
I know about the one from steam and I normally use that one but this is the modded launcher I am trying to download which allows me to play on modded/dayz servers
The one started by Steam does too.
Anyone know why I can't download the modded launcher?
you dont want that
Why
because the normal launcher works
Do you know why I can't download the other one tho
I have both USB and the direct port to headphones. Had a prior issue, I usually use my USB for non-arma things. When in arma, direct headphone port that I put in around 5-10 minutes before I boot it up to avoid crashes etc. I might have to update my drivers as Goat said below as I haven't in awhile.
I'm going to
You're probably right

Thanks @steady hawk
What’s y’all average fps in multiplayer with mods
Depends on the mission and depends on the Mods
And the server, map and amount of players/ai/objects
so basically, every time my friend tries to host a mp server (basic) it just never works and we never get to play on his missions
but it always works when i host it
anyone have any idea why this is?
Maybe he didn't get his portforwarding done correctly. Maybe he didn't open the ports in his computer's firewall. Or he has an internet connection from his ISP that is not suitable to make that work.
Can I get some help in terrain builder? I'm following this tutorial: https://pmc.editing.wiki/doku.php?id=arma3:terrain:ultimate-terrain-tutorial
So I'm trying to finish the first step in the terrain builder where I configure the first , I get everything set and click generate layers in the processing tab and get this error
@mossy skiff
Best place to ask is #arma3_terrain
aight tanks
you also need cba
thanks
I keep getting this when I join servers, I have been loading the mods that the server requests and it keeps giving me the same error messages.
you have for some reason a pbo called addons in your arma 3\addons\ folder
which is completely wrong place to put mods in as it is the folder for the games own files
i deleted the file and it seems to be working now, thanks
I cannot figure out why im getting
ACE is version 3.14.1.65 - CBA is version 3.15.6.211004 (min required 3.15.6)
Hi, My joystick seems to not be using analog values(see video), it only does it in arma 3. I tried to unplug my joystick, restart the game, reset the controller, nothing works. Anyone as any idea of what it could be?
IIRC that indicates "has input" than "amount of input"
How would I change that?
Why, indicator indicates but does nothing to do for actual gameplay
I used to be able to see the analog values(I think), and it seems to not be using analog values in game aswell.
Actually never thought so (about the indicator ), but let me check after I eat some meals
Okay thanks, its been a while since I played arma i might be wrong.
Which control you bind?
Am not sure what you mean, its a flight joystick but i don't think that's want you mean
So, for Server Hosting, im hosting with logicserver, and this is the error that pops up, i have 29 mods.
21:51:31 SteamAPI initialization failed. Steam features won't be accessible!
i cannot, for the life of me, remember how to fix this
Meant, which part of the controls (keybinds) you want to bind for the joystick
Like pitch/bank
After a pc restart and testing it with the jet throttle its seems to be magically fixed and you're right about the settings only showing if input is detected. Thx for your help am just crazy
No the crazy is the game 🙃
Please stick to ONE channel per ONE topic
well
its a pretty urgent issue
considering 10 other people are waiting for the server to get up
and this is an issue ive had before
but cant remember how to fix
It's the first command my server reports. Seems to be a false positive error as I can find and join my own server (in home lan port forwarded) in my via Steam (when I connect via a vpn to not go through my LAN to my router) Whatever is holding back, it's unlikely that warning message.
Question/anyone who has an idea....
Just transferred/stood up a dedicated server from a VPS install. Opened up the ports like you do. One friend can join, the other can't even see it in the launcher
any ideas? Server shows up for me on internet tab and we've been on the server.... but they can't even direct connect
i've toggled the firewall on linux entirely and they've still been unable to connect, so iunno what to look for locally
https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/arma3?q=mcfly&sort=score
looks like it shows up online checking the server tools online...
but they haven't been able to see it
Maybe turn it around @dull sail fi you got all the settings correctly setup and some people were able to see and join the server maybe the others who want to join but can not find it: maybe they need to adjust their search filter (maybe set to ping hight, amount of player/empty server or BE enabled/disabled in launcher ) ;)
we went through their launcher, i even checked the max ping settings on the server config... nothing filtering it out, it just doesn't show at all in the friends tab/Internet tab. and direct connect leaves them with the Arma loading screen that goes nowhere
they had no issues connecting to the VPS in VA, and i don't think that UK to Oregon would be an issue for the new server location 
even if it was launcher issues, i'd think direct connect would fix that.... but can't get any dice at all
.
only thing i could think of is the IP is blocked/dirty from OVH. gonna have em make sure all their antivirus/etc is off next time i hear from them.... edit: don't see any lists showcasing my IP as bad. no clue
Let them make sure they can join other servers. To rule out their connection from their ISP is a problem for Arma 3 servers in general.
I possibly fixed it, turns out OVH has a second firewall i wasn't aware of... opened up ports there to help make sure it's not being filtered by DDOS protec

Hi there ! Since about 1 month, I happen to be unable to find my team server.

so, im a transport heli pilot, and im sending these ai squad to a location, and giving them a get out way point, but when i arrive there and land, for a few second i thought they were all out, but then none of them got out, so i tried it again and again and again, and they all will just not get out, is there a fix to this?
What waypoint are you using for the AI? Try using a "Transport unload" waypoint for yourself at the location that you are going to unload them. Alternatively, place a "Hold" waypoint for the AI and then create a trigger with "Blufor >> Player detected", sync that to a "Get out" or "transport unload" waypoint for the AI and they should disembark when you reach the trigger.
i just downloaded a composition for a fob but when i place it some items float and others stacked on top of others
is there a way to fix it
is the ground flat?
right click with the whole composition selected, go down to transform and select Snap to Surface
that will mess up everything that is palced on top of other objects
true, or you can do it with the individual objects
its possible the composition is not done right maybe
or there needs to be different object placement mode used
Has anyone else had an issue with a controller not using the previous mapping you made for it? Its making me go insane, I just finish mapping everything a few hours ago and now it wants me to map it again even though I can still see all the old control mapping.

so i got this issue now, i needed to do a clean install of arma 3 so installed the base game and let it download the mods overnight, the issue now is i got everything but when i load a DLC or load in mods or do it at the same time it doesn't matter outcome is always the same, it only gives me the base game to play with raw arma 3 only so I'm wondering what's causing this and how to fix this cause I cant play DLCs now or with mods ...
How are you starting the game? through launcher?
Yes i do, but i seem to have solved the problem, not sure what i did but everything seems to work like it has to be working
ooh, no im using the zeus waypoint
Web unit down, you can try finding here too in #communities_arma3
Oh, okey thanks.
I have a weird issue. I just switched from a 1680x1050 monitor to a 1920x1080 monitor. Now all Eotech reticles and DUI Squad Radar are all flattened and wonky.

edit profilename.Arma3Profile in notepad. Remove the fovTop and fovLeft lines from it.

Anyone have any idea what is a heap corruption. Arma seems to be causing me issues and crash
Any idea what could be causing this

heap is a large section of memory for a program, corruption means... well it's screwed
What about uiTopLeftX & uiTopLeftY, uiBottomRightX & uiBottomRightY?
@quaint jewel It worked, thank you :D
It also fixed the fonts which were wonky!

i cant load into my arma 3 server, it has a few mods loaded and nothing on the RPT looks strange all normal. I can hear the rain and environment in the loading screen but it just sits there. Any ideas?
Not neccesarily, it might just have been the mod screwing up it's administration of memory. It could be a software thing. Or theoretically a bug in the game. I don't know where that snippet comes from, but if it was from a game crash, you might want to report it on Bohemia Feedback tracker.

Hey, for some reason I am missing some random modules from my zeus interface (for instance, I am missing the ACE full heal module, but i have all the other ACE medical modules). I have the default addons setting on the game master module set to All addons (including unofficial ones) and it doesn't help. I have ZEN and the ace compat installed, and my friend can see all modules just fine with the same modlist. any ideas?
Do you have ace installed?
Yes, i have all of the other ace medical zeus modules (and the rest of the ace modules) but not that specific one
Me and my friend are running the exact same modset (i have one extra client side mod, reduced haze) on the same server
Howdy, I'm trying to setup better testing. Is it possible to setup a testing environment, or does a service exist, to simulate 20-30 multiplayer clients connecting to and completing tasks on server? When running AIs on server with just one human connected, stability is fine. Things crash when many clients connect. How can we simulate clients connecting and pinging from around the world?
Hey guys i am having this popup eveytime I launch arma. I have tried deleting CUP units and vehicles multiple times and repairing them but it hasen't worked. Has anyone come across this issue and fixed it?
iirc ZEN has an option to hide duplicate ACE modules in its addon settings. You can find the ace full heal module under modules>misc>heal.

when i try to save a game it crashes and say's: Out of memory. How i can solute this?
Use less mods, or unload more background programs in Windows, or add memory sticks to your computer.
Check that you have enough disk space to store the savegame.
I keep having this issue come up, I do not know why
I updated my drivers
I just disabled steam overlay
idk what is happening because at random points the game just black screens and dies
or randomly minimizes arma 3 and shows me my home screen which has been a problem for most games I play lately
Im making a mp Zeus Mission via editor and wanted to try this out before with that „Play in Multiplayer“ option but now I’m just able to set new units but the old ones are there and doing stuff but I can’t choose them or anything.
Could your PC be overheating? Or is your RAM on its way out? Those can both cause games to suddenly crash. Or have you upgraded your PC recently? Because if yes, you might be running low on power..

just stops responding in the middle
of missions
really annoying
idk why
more then 30 times now
Ive been in the middle of making something

Any Mods? Error messages?
I play with some mods
every one and a while
it will crash and say "unexpected error"
Did you tried vanilla to test?
Ill do that,
but most of time time with mods.
Ill be in a mission
I will alt tab out, and then come back for it not opening I need to close it in task manger when it says "not responding"
Try Fullscreen Windowed then
I find that if I tab out in a loading screen or the menu, the game doesn't like it at all. But when I'm in a mission or Eden it doesn't crash
Hey, I've got a weird thing going on I'm trying to setup a sound mod and addon builder just refuses to pack my audio files and sound folder
Hello, Me and my friends are trying to setup a server for us to play on however it doesn't quite work.
(Our settings are vanilla, no dlc's)
-(what we do)-
what we do step by step
I firstly select host server on the menu, I then give it a name and a password, I then chek the UPNP box and then select the yellow box of "host server"
It then gives me a message of
"trying to setup port forwarding. please wait."
when its done it then takes me to "create a game" menu
I select a vanilla co-op mission and clic "play"
I then find myself in the role assignment meny in the mission and tell my friends to join me.
-(the problem)-
They then tell me they are unable to join.
first they try to join via Steam by "Join Game" on friends list, they receive the message of "server is not responding"
They can't find it on "friends"
Then they tries to join by the arma 3 "direct connect" and then type in what should be the correct IP address and Port but it only takes them back to the Arma serwer browser.
We then tries as a last effort to find the server via the server browser but are unable to find it.
We have tried to reverse the hosting roles but the same things repeats.
We have tried for a while now (days) with youtube, reddit, and forum tutorials and guides to get this to work but have been unable to find the problem.
It worked before but that was years ago so we are confused of why it wont work now.
If anyone has any idea I, we would be very grateful for the help provided.
Yo anyone knows why my game crashes when i install RESHADE?
It looks like a battle eye error but i dont exactly know
I updated to Windows 11, my sound is set to 2.0, but the game thinks I'm playing on 5.1 or 7.1. When a sound happens behind me, I don't hear it.
Whats up with the Units not working? I always get failure to get data
even when I go to the website it doesnt work
@zealous current
that's very common and not unusual on the weekends
Check if your games are set to "Private" on your steam profile, and make sure you're online on steam.
Can't load saved game.
No matter it's auto or user made save, i died or just wanna load or resume mission. I'm using DB and a lot of addons. It's since few days earlier was all good. Any possible reason?
its like Arma 3 want me to get realistic with the game its self "you only live once" (YOLO)
Possible reason = mods
One message removed from a suspended account.
having this issue. any fix for this?
A Bad Mod does
i have mods in the addons folder/keys but the launcher doesnt shows them
You should not have mods in the addons folder
At least not in the arma3\addons folder
That is for the games own files only
i have a custom map with object from this addons. if i delete them / move them to another folder then i will lost the items in the map and their positions?
so i must move all the addons / keys to which folder?
i remember that i had downloaded from armaholic and the guide said to place them there.
should i must delete and leave the addons folder empty?
i saw tha it contains some altis pbos...
Look few lines below how it should look line
forget it. i will do a clean install of arma 3. add mods the way you showed me.
thanx
Good idea.👍
the only thing is that i will lost all the items/placement positions that i had on my custom map
Should not.
Custom map/terrain or are you talking about mission/scenario (made in game with Eden)
What is the IP they are trying to connect? You say it "should be" correct, but what if it isn't. Did you give them one? If so, tell the first 2 numbers seperated by dots if you are worried about being found. (any server IP in the browser is openly visible so I don't see how you can stay incognito with an Arma 3 server)
the second
where the addon is installed does not matter
for the missions
except that if addon is installed in wrong place then it might not load right
like what you have now
ok
Games are set to public and I was online on steam or else they wouldn't have been able to try to join me via steam.
we are 99% sure of that we used the right IP.
We used windows command panel to see what IP was being used and even if we in that case used wrong IP we tried to switch the host user so that my friend would be the host but that didn't work either.
The IP the other people need to connect with you is not found in any Windows control pannel/settings screen. Unless those friends were in the same LAN as you, as in connected to the same router or maybe a vpn. So I very much suspect this to be a faulty entered IP. It should NOT be in the form of 192.168.x.y, 172.16-31.x.y or 10..x.y.z. It should be the IP address shown in your (the server hoster) browser when you visit whatsmyip.org. Or if you log into your router, it should show your WAN address somewhere. Make sure it matches with what whatsmyip.org shows. If it doesn't your ISP provides you with a type of connection that may make this impossible. But try anyway to give the right address.
thx I will lock into that, thank you for the info
will provide update if it workt or not.
The UPnP checkmark may not work for your router. It's supporting it may be disabled. So while you log into the router check if that is supported, or try to do manual port forwarding instead of UDP protocol ports 2302-2306 to the private IPv4 address of the server (that one is shown in the Windows control pannel/network settings) And make sure the firewall is opened for those ports too.
@uncut trellis almost finish downloading the fresh game. Can I ask you...if I create a custom folder (not Arma3/Addons) and put all the addons there and then from the launcher select that folder for mods (local not steamworks) it will work?
and those @modname folders I put the into the Arma3/Addons folder?
ok
you never put anything in arma3\addons folder
Hey folks, where's the best place to pursue support if I'm getting blocking errors when using the Mod Publisher?
What "blocked" errors?
Off the top of my head it was something to the effect of '2 - Generic Error', I can get the specific text and grab a screenshot in a few
Here we go
Steam Client failed to process the operation:
Steam error code: 2
Steam error message: Fail - generic failure
This same error happens regardless of whether it's set to use Steam client instead of web browser or not, and similarly if I try to use a temp folder location on a different hard-drive than the default
I used to be able to get around this because I had a secondary device (laptop) that didn't exhibit this behaviour so I could upload my mod through that
but now that's got the same error, so I'm kinda stuck with how to publish my work
In terms of how it looks, the progress bar seems to fill up 100% once, then hangs at between 0 and 5% until failure
That error comes straight from steam
if steam only says "generic error" then... well.. dunno
hope?
Thanks for clarifying - I'll just have to give up the project I've worked on for the last 2 years because of a generic steam error 🤷♂️ I suppose the next best place to follow up is steam support? I don't see any means to contact them directly to do with this, tries to punt me off to Bohemia Interactive support
thats honestly your only choice here
😅 I see a pattern emerging here
You could try a repair/reinstalling steam? if it wont help it wont hurt
maybe this time
can anyone help
my game audio is distorted
nothing i've tried fixes it
so using the PCML
First scenario= locked target, missile flies over and off into teh wilderness
second scenario=no lock try to hold dot on target, missile still flies overhead
PCML rocket, when fired, goes upwards, at all times
When locked, it will hit target if you have clear shot (no houses or rocks or terrain between you and target), unless vehicle releases smoke cover, which breaks lock and forces it to fly upwards
Whenever i try to open RHSAFRF i see this error
Any other Mods?
I have a few other mods like RHSSASF RHSGREF and RHSUSAF
but AFRF is causing the issue
Anything else? Did you made sure the AFRF is causing it?
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
alright
Are Arma : Mobile Ops servers under maintenance?
i removed some mods that had issues and now how can remove these from the missions that I had the deleted mods?
“FORCE LOAD”
And save again, I guess
yes. that worked.
how do i know if apex and marksman dlc are loaded?
it used to say something about 'mods & optional dlc loaded' and the play button used to be blue but now i'm not seeing it
Right there, at the bottom. Unfold it. And see the DLC tab in properties of Arma 3 in the Steam app library.
the optional dlcs with yellow background you can choose to load. the other on the bottom list are always loaded
even if you dont own them
ah i see, thanks
me and a buddy are trying to play in a private game just me and him and it never lets us find eachothers servers
and i cant even join him thru steam
am i doing something wrong?
i hear i have to do stuff with my wifi or somthing
but i dont know
!localhost
To host a server or a game session locally, you need to make sure first that your WAN address / external IP uses the IPv4 protocol!
Check your 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”
I actually have similar issue and never resolved yet but you can make sure these
oh
Not wifi, as that just means wireless networking. Your router blocks attempts of your friends from connecting to your server. These ports needs to be opened. Either by UPnP (and hope that it is supported by the router) or manually port forwarding the ports mentioned in the bot response above. Only the server hoster needs to do that.
Oh
Does anyone have experience with running Arma in Windows 11? New rig with a clean default install, was hoping to simply copy my old Arma profile into place but it seems that the default "Documents" folder is empty even after launching Arma and creating a new profile via the menu in-game. Despite this, I can see the newly created profile offered via the Arma 3 launcher / Arma3Sync's profiles sections.
If I alter my folder options to un-hide protected/system files and folder, I can then see a My Documents folder but with a shortcut corner-icon against it. Clicking this just gives me an error dialog.
I'm perplexed, but can't see anything on the forums that indicates anyone else having a similar issue, and a quick search through the Discord doesn't turn anything up either. Surely I'm not the only one encountering this!
Think I've figured it out... it's now stored under this path, obviously! You can find it if you click the "Documents" quicklink in the sidebar in Explorer, but not if you go to the "Documents" folder itself.
C:\Users\<My User>\OneDrive\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\
Yeah, may well end up doing so. Doing my best to just "embrace the suck" currently and go with it, as I've finally come over from Win7.... 😛
so i am getting two big issues right now. no mods, vanilla missions. i am getting blue static lines flickering across my screen, this only happens with arma 3. and i am getting micro stuttering every few feet i move. even when in singleplayer missions.
i think the new nvidia update did the blue flickering lines, but the micro stuttering was before that
um, i tried to reinstall the drivers and it did not work. then did a another driver install and both issues are gone. must have been a modded file
So I've got problem with arma mods "no Addons folder in mod folder", someone knows how to fix it?
Does anyone know if I can reimport the exported configs from TADST Back into it? or be able to change the currently being used configs and it update it (Tried editing them and it doesn't update my changes)
Brains trust: I'm now getting a black screen on startup. I see the Arma 3 logo then black screen, sometimes with a little 'loading' circle going around but nothing more. I've played 1000's of hours on this machine and it's been fine. I've updated all drivers, installed new and old versions of graphics drivers, even completely reinstalled Arma 3. Rig is a Dell XPS 15:

maybe that breaks it then 
I am also subject to this issue, been fighting it for hours. tried messing with parameters and any solution i could find on the topic of this issue in this discord, to no result. #arma3_troubleshooting message
updated the GPU drivers, updated windows, made the game run in 32bit, made it not skip splashscreen, restored default settings, re-installed the game, deleted the cache.ch file. none of these fixes worked so far.
Anyone without "Laws of War" DLC, what does this return for you in the debug console ?
getAssetDLCInfo ["U_C_Mechanic_01_F"]
I don't have the DLC but i get this in return (tested with mods & without) 
[false,false,false,false,"",""]
[isDlc, isOwned, isInstalled, isAvailable, appID, DLCName]
U_C_Mechanic_01_F is from CfgWeapons
by default is searches in CfgVehicles
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/getAssetDLCInfo
alternative syntax, argument 2
oh yea nvm my example above but it's still wrong
getAssetDLCInfo ["U_C_Mechanic_01_F", configFile >> "CfgWeapons"]
// returns
[false,true,true,true,"107410","Arma 3"]
you still get the watermark thingy
Hm, watermark thingy should be based on model. So this command should catch it.
IDK then.
same for "U_C_Paramedic_01_F"
[false,true,true,true,"107410","Arma 3"]
https://gyazo.com/0b6d6793a489fa57a34e4e361b5c0fdd
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_DLC_Restrictions
According to this, it should have the restriction. You must doing something wrong but I don't recall how did I made this table
Uniform must have some class for it in CfgVehicles right?
Maybe the linked unit class should be checked.
getAssetDLCInfo getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> "C_Story_Mechanic_01_F" >> "model");
//[true,true,true,true,"571710","Arma 3 Laws of War"]```
Those DLC restrictions are tied to the model, not the class itself
Yeah, but for some stuff it can figure out the restriction from the class.
It seems it's not the case for uniforms.
Ye some DLC's are detected and some not
Try to use model paths if you can.
Using model is the accurate way AFAIK
Doesn't work for weapons at first glance, but yea that easy to change. Thanks guys 👌
getAssetDLCInfo getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> "U_C_Paramedic_01_F" >> "model");
//[false,false,false,false,"",""]

CfgWeapons entry is not equal to CfgVehicles, you need to fetch it via "CfgWeapons" >> uniform >> "ItemInfo" >> "uniformClass"
nvm me stupid and its late, thanks
Sleep! 🔨
still think that getAssetDLCInfo should do that automatically to make it more convenient 
only param it should need is classname #lazy
There is also some weird inconsistency (maybe because its a reskin ?)
Both DLC Uniforms (Both should show orange text with the MISSING DLC X)
https://gyazo.com/f6a8e1067ca1aeda5fe5d8afe1a0aae8
https://gyazo.com/05b4b0ddd87573c1c3dc4301fa976316
Paramedic Outfit should be a LoW restricted item
ye but instead of the function doing all this i have to fiddle around now
https://gyazo.com/22ed31964c08e2dcdcaa20c247095342
Maybe, guess iam to naive "oh there is a command and i bet it's useful".
But instead of just using a classname i have to do config checks now.
I can't think of any case where you would need anything else then a classname to determine if a thing is from a DLC or not and act on it ?!
Thanks anyway, gonna figure it out. 👍

Hi, does anyone know how to prevent Ai from leaving an area that i want
i mean how to chose an area and make then move inside it, without restricting their movement completely with doStop this; / disabling path. For example i want the sniper to move and shoot around a tower, but not let him go down the stairs. Same for ground troops, how to make them move around an chosen area, and not go anywhere else?
Hi, i'll have a little question:
I want to spawn the USS Liberty via Script, but for some reason, it keeps getting spawnd at the ground of the See, is there some special trick to spawn it?
I'll spawn it like this:
_data = [
["Land_Destroyer_01_base_F", [18169.2,28919,0], [[-0.334915,0.942248,0],[0,0,1]]]
];
private _objects = [];
{
_object = createSimpleObject [(_x select 0), (ASLToAGL(_x select 1)), true];
_object setVectorDirAndUp (_x select 2);
_object setPosASL (_x select 1);
_objects pushBack _object;
} forEach _data;
Hello?
Maybe try it in the #arma3_scripting channel as it is a script you need help with @wintry granite ?
I have problem with forceFlagTexture.
When I put it into bigger code, where I have _index to list type of flags to choose by player, and when I try to make game attach chosen flag to vehicle, it gives me error, saying that Error forceFlagTexture: Type Array, expected String.
My code is - FTC_vehicle forceFlagTexture [_index]
Neeevermind, fixed it
I have removed brackets and now it's writing that forceFlagTexture is Number...

After a period of time, the radio caption bar does not display the content at all
This happens to every official server
But why didn't anyone reply here
Waiting
because you posted on many channels
nobody knew you switched here
this the server you tried?
Should be,
This problem occurs on almost all servers
I haven't found out yet
It may not be the bug of the server, but the bug of the UI interface
maybe you can Discord live arma 3 so @uncut trellis can see the issue?
What do I do
nah I dont have time for thatm
im not tech support
im just a goat roaming around
from what I can see the server works normally. chat works when someone types message and then it goes away after a while
Your understanding is wrong. The whole information bar doesn't show anything
Even if someone speaks
it only occurs after a while or from the start you joining?
Join the server for a period of time, not a period of time for subtitle display
take a screenshot of what do you expect to see
I saw speakers name at the corner and I saw killed messages and chat messages all just fine
try verify your game files on steam
It has been verified. Let me have a look again, but it seems that the software has not downloaded new content
Afaik the bug with chat dissapearing is not very, but still widespread. I would say it has something to do with either UI parameters, or game breaking. It usually fixes itself after restarting game, but I had some cases, especislly with 1 russian-speaking friends, who's chat would dissapear every time he was killed. So Arma bug ig
I restarted the game several times
It happened again
Finally showed again,
What's the situation
all you can do is report in detail on the feedback tracker
if Devs can figure out whats wrong they might be able to fix it
wont happen fast though
I know, it shows a bit of instability
What is it, feedback or troubleshooting
Sometimes it doesn't show at all
The name of the player in the speaking
#arma3_feedback_tracker has intsturctions how to make a feedback/bug report ticket
in here devs wont notice your problems
But I seem to have just said
it does not matter
if there is no bug ticket the devs dont know to look for problem
@brave hawk Can I give feedback there?
Feedback tracker is the way to go! You can even get Feedback from devs for possible solutions or help the recreate the issue to find the cause. Do mention all the steps you have already taken, the more Feedback/info give the easier it gets for them to recreate.

One of my members in the unit cant Find our server when trying direct connect. Have tried both from launcher and in game. But he can see other servers like Karma lib. Any idea why?
add him as a steam friend then tell him to search the server via Friend tab in launcher
We did that too
I'm getting a canopener error saying it was below terrain and was adjusted to be above terrain hundreds and hundreds of time

So, I've been having this problem for a while now. When reloading in prone, the player completely freezes and is unable to move or do anything. This also happens for AI.

Hello all, I am having a hard time with launching arma, I have played over a thousand hours and never had this problem. As soon as I launch Arma 3 Launcher it freezes and I have to force quit it to unfreeze it. Does anyone had this issue and know how to fix it?
Done and it's not a mod it's the official dlc anyway even though nothing got redownloaded after verify something changed IDK what
You can just ignore it, actually. If it annoys you much, try to verify the game
Heya alljust wondering if anyone can help me out of a jam, I have tried launching the game multiple times but that game hasn't started. Tried verifying the integrity of the games cash but still not launching. Any Ideas that don't revolve around re-dowloading all my mods and the game? I have also tried to run the game with and without mods still the same resualt
Better to state more specific info. You literally said nothing useful to troubleshoot
Need help fast, my friends cant see my server under the friends tab in the server broswers, we tried all the common fixes, any help?
fast is not really option
the portforwarding info I posted on general chat is the starting point
@twilit wigeon
i am just using local not dedicated
and port forwarding is something you likely need to do for local hosting to work
already did that
dedicated server has nothing to do with this
ik
so you have opened the correct ports on your router
it could be your connection does not support hosting then
if its not IPV4 type
if you did everything right
!localhost
To host a server or a game session locally, you need to make sure first that your WAN address / external IP uses the IPv4 protocol!
Check your 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”
as this is all there is
alr
well I suppose firewall could also block it
you could also try without upnp perhaps
but thats about as fars as my knowledge goes
Your router may not listen to UPnP requests. It may be disabled even if it is technically a supported option. Either way, you need to log into your router and check that. Or alternatively set up port forwarding for the stated UDP ports. It is the same for a dedicated server on another computer in your home or for your computer game hosting as servers. It's simply that your front door is shut for anything trying to come in that it didn't initiate itself.
Dedicated servers can be rented from a company on the internet. Or you can have one on a different machine in your home. The point is, it is seperate from the game, it's dedicated to serve only, not to play. Some even run it as a seperate application on your playing computer.
This thread suggests it is a sign of a corrupted Cup Terrain Core mod download. So redownload it with whatever your server allows. Make sure nothing corrupts when transferring it you your server. https://dev.cup-arma3.org/T2877 ( I found it by asking Google about CA_E and Arma 3)
ive tried 3 times
Then I don't know.
Not that firm with errors but I guess you need to unload the according mods. Seems like you should unload your Lambs mods
Or add the key files from the mods into the keys folder of the server. Depends if you intend to use them. Or if you forgot to unload them in the launcher.
The keys are already in the folder, still giving the same error.
Of the server?
yes
Then the keys in there are of different mods I guess. Server disagrees them being the right ones.
thats very odd, any way of fixing this? Re-doing it is not really a solution i presume
I don't know what you guys did. whether or not the keys folder has left over files. Or key files of mods that are signed by the same key. Or what the player loads as mods. If it doesn't work, go back to a known working condition. Completely vanilla Bohemia mission setup if you have to. Then add mods in steps until it works.
Running the server without any mods works, no big errors and such.
Do i just add a mod in and put the same thing in Start Bat in -mod= and -servermod=?
-servermod= is only for mods that only need to run on the server. Most are for clients too and need to be loaded with -mod=. Ask the mod creator if you need to be sure, or just try as -mod= and see if it works.
oh oh, so i can't just put the same loadorder in both of them?
I don't know why it should not be set in both, just that someone else did it and was corrected by one of the developers/discord admins. One or the other.
Do a search for -servermod some weeks deep and it will turn up.
Yeah, saw it by Murd0ck, i dont really understand it tho, do i put all clientside mods in -mod and all the other mods in -servermod?
If a mod is only client side then you don't need to load them on the server anyhow. You just need to allow them as optional mods by putting it's key file in the key folder (assuming verifySignatures is set to 2 in server config.) If the server needs to load a mod because it changes what data it exchanges with clients then it is -mod. If it is only something that changes on the server. Then it is -servermod. But there are very few mods that do. And I would not know how to make that distinction. So best is to load them with -mod.
ah okay, yeah verifiysignatures = 2. Alright, well there aren't crazy mods in there so i'll just have the same @modsoandso;... in both -mod and -servermod
So i've managed this; Adding every mod and running it, excluding CUP Terrains - Core. Everything works until that mod is on, creating the infamous **Warning Message: Addon 'CUP_Afghan_Data' requires addon 'CA_E' ** Error.
Redownloading CUP Terrains - Core doesn't work, i've even tried multiple ways of redownloading. Still gets stuck on that message in the console
Maybe you can find help on that CUP Dev Tracker site linked earlier. I have no idea how to solve this.
okay i will, thank you very much. I wouldn't even be close to how far i've come now without your help :)))
Hello, I've had the problem for a long time that my Arma 3 unit is no longer loaded. The error message "Arma 3 Units data is not available" always appears. Anyone know how I can fix this?
You can't that server is temporarily out of service. But frequently, so I wouldn't rely on it.
Hi people! So recently I've been having a very peculiar issue with the game. What'll happen is that my graphics basically break. Quality goes down significantly, models start glitching etc. The game will run at 2/3fps. After that one of three things happens. The game crashes without error, it freezes and needs to be force closed, or it restores itself and keeps going. This issue seems most prevalent when in more intensive situations like combat or being in a vehicle, but it can happen while out of contact too. I've tried a full re-install and re-setting of my game and mods, but that hasn't fixed anything unfortunately.
Specs:
Ryzen 5 3600x
AMD RX 5700 XT
32 gigabyte DDR4 @3200mhz
Gigabyte x570 Gaming X motherboard
Are you running the game in 64bit ?
Turns out I wasn't. Someone in my unit managed to figure that out and I feel absolutely stupid because of it. Know how it happened too, I migrated my stuff 5 months ago and i likely selected the wrong exe after re-setting 3sync
How do i fix this when i go to join my dedicated server?
Hey, why am I unable to move after placing everything I needed to place from HAL NR6?
Also, here's the folder for it in case anybody wanna check themselves what's the problem
Also, it seems to reload the map after you basically activate the scenario, at which point the player character can't move.
All the units on the map are synced to their asset compiler that is synced to their spawner and reinforcement thing
There's also a zeus and a manage addon thing on the map
I need help finding out what's causing this problem
Removing the Zeus and manage addon removes the reloading of the mission, but I still am unable to move
Apparently I also spawn alone instead of with a squad for some reason and I don't understand why
@brave imp do you have a modset List?
Yes, hold on
@viscid carbon Here
thanks. will need some time till i downloaded all of that. also i cant guarantee ill find a solution but ill try at least
@brave imp it’s the asset Compiler causing this. Removing that lets yourself move and do other stuff as well
Why does the asset compiler do this?
Not really sure to be honest. Maybe you can build without the compiler? I also really haven’t understood the advantage of that thing

Im trying to make an arma 3 server with the unsung mod. how do i change the map and mission
localhosted?
anybody know reasons why ACE Medical blood can't be administered? Running ACE and KAT, are there any common mod conflicts?
So I'm trying to add an ace arsenal to a supply box in eden. This is the script I'm using atm but it'f not working. Does anyone know why it may not be working?
No need for a script. Scroll down in the box's attributes, open the "Ace Arsenal" tab, select "Blacklist", and hit OK. Should add a full ACE arsenal for you to use.
Also, if you want to create a limited arsenal, use the whitelist function and select what you want to be available in the arsenal.
okay thats very much. It wasnt as difficult as i made it
can someone help me do tfar please
Don't ask to ask just ask
i just need help on enabling it on my server?
Rephrasing this^
Task Force Arrowhead Radio Beta is downloaded on the server and on client, yet when loading into the server it says: No Task Force Radio Deployed on server.
there are next to no guides or anything to find on the internet, im guessing there is something im missing, a server plugin maybe?
Fixed, Files we're wrongly downloaded
you also need to add the addons for Teamspeak if you want to use TFAR, forgot how will post once i found the guide
Yes, for a TS server as like a channel and as the client Addon, as far as i am aware. That should work, but the problem lies with the Arma server not connecting to TFAR Beta
Hey guys, i have a friend who has a problem with the nvg slot in his inventory is gone. Anyone had this problem before?
99% this has something to do with mods you have loaded.
!localhost
To host a server or a game session locally, you need to make sure first that your WAN address / external IP uses the IPv4 protocol!
Check your 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”
I keep getting a black box error message on my screen. How do i hide these?
What does it say in the black box?
@pine kite Here is the RPT file. I really dont know what I'm looking at with this 😕
I don't know if this is the cause of the parameters not working. But it is an issue for clients trying to log in and get the proper mods: 17:19:01 Warning: Steam Query data overflow, Mods/Signatures will not be correctly received by clients. Remove unused mods or change your server configuration to allow for more data to be sent. You need to add or increase the following server config parameter ```steamProtocolMaxDataSize = 1024;````Until that warning disappears.
okay thanks i'll do that now
Idk how to fix it tho
This is the error
fix 1) If it is your code/mod, edit it so it works
fix 2) If it is caused by some mod or mission, do not use that mod or mission.
Any ideas?
I don't even know what's missing lol
Reinstalled 2 times but nothing has changed
@fringe salmon
(re)install vcredist for 2013
Getting a constant troubleshooting error whenever Im launching Arma 3. It keeps saying it was closed unusually
hey how can i fix being stuck at 20 fps? i have all my settings on low and still no increase on fps i have zero background programs running and i have way more than the required specs to play yet i get shit frames. why???? HELP!!!
Depends on the hardware though increase the video settings will give you a bit of boost
ive tried increasing it and still nothing
want me to tell you my specs?
Of course
well i have an RTX 2060 with and i7 16 gigs of ram and arma is installed on an ssd with an extra tb of storage so im not really sure why i am getting little to none frames
Mods?
yes not many but even without mods framerate is same
Would be helpful if you say what kind of scenario you play ? SP, MP and which mods ?
How many players are on the server etc and most important which map.
i do play sp and mp sometimes with and without mods and a main amount of the time its just vanilla maps and all like atlis and toana
These are the mods
Did you tried an empty mission to test it?
yes
And how was the FPS?
Game on HDD ? Windows power profile maybe on energy saving ?
around 30 to 40 mainly 30
Said SSD
nope ive made sure and its on ssd
Empty mission and vanilla? Those Mods can decrease your FPS pretty much
No problems with FPS in other games ?
yes ive tested on just normal empty arma i can get around 40 or so fps like that but even fighting like 5 to 10 people it just decreases fps so much
nah im chill with other games
Running on 32bit or 64?
64
i usually keep it low so from 500 to 1000
intel core i7 9th gen
Hey, I wonder if adding a squad which is not in the asset compiler might fix the problem without requiring to remove the asset compiler
Hmhm weird then, i get better FPS with a i7-4790k (4,5 ghz) and a GTX 1080 at 1440p ultra with 1,5km+ view distance.
There are some areas on certain maps that where you will have low FPS (Kavala or Chernogorsk for example).
More players, more AI will also result in less FPS.
Try to run this without any mods and post your results -> https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=375092418
ive pretty much tried everything to see what gives me best fps (not settings just going places and messing with mods and such) yet still nothing
okay one moment
the YAAB isnt working, i check to see what results are but it says 0 for everything but looking at my steam fps top left the whole time it was between 32 and 40 the whole time
with all settings on low
okay okay now i got legit results didnt know i had to stay the whole way this is with autodetect settings on this result
but on low its between 32 to 40 with 1000 view distance
It's a heavy benchmark but it should show if there is any discrepancy
My results
https://gyazo.com/42873bdd4fe1829753e8bfa37aa990f4
Set everything to high instead of low and run it again
And set the viewdistance a bit lower ^^
but anyways what are somethings i should do to increase fps? like i would very much still love to play with mods and all and i dont play many but it just doesnt add up to the frames i am getting from what i have to run it
What is the core frequency of your CPU ? 3,6 ghz ?
how can i check again?
looks normal then, welcome to arma i guess 
so there is no way to increase my frames?/
and lmao thanks ive had arma for 2 years now but just got back into it with my new pc so just wanted to fix frames
only thing I could recommend is selecting "auto-detect" in your video settings. iirc having low settings can make gpu lazy, decreasing performance (don't quote me on that though)
I think you should get better frames in normal gameplay than 20 FPS with that CPU. But yea its arma
Maybe some of the other hardware cracks can help you out.
ive done that and frames go from 30 to 40 to 20
not sure what to do there
#hardware_vs_arma possibly
okay thanks
wait there is no channel for that
scroll all the way down, just above VCs
okay i see it thanks
Hello, sorry I dont know where to ask this. But I am looking at playing Antistasi and liberation an such on my own. When I host a game in MP my fps is 30 or less which is really low. Is there a solution for this? I heard about Dedicated servers and such. Would that helpo with fps?
Offloading the server part to a different computer can certainly help. Whether that is a rented service on the internet, or a computer you own already. The first one doesn't require you much to get it going, but has some less freedom than a DIY solution you have to set up on your own. You are also bound by their support methods. And of course, depends if you want to spend money and have hardware available. It does improve performance experience for me playing on a 2015 laptop. I followed this guide, but I am a bit of an IT nerd so chose the DIY approach: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Dedicated_Server When you need help, go to #server_admins and similar channels of that group. If you rent a Arma 3 server on the internet then go to their support/knowledge base articles first.
Im trying to make a server from the eden editor to play ops made by me with a friend but it seems as if my server doesnt show up on his game and his server doesnt show up on mine (we tried on both sides) what could be a fix?
My game crashes every time I start playng whit mods at loading addods pleas help me
don't use or repair the crashing mods then
Wdym?
broken mods -> remove
Idk how to do that
dont select them in the launcher or unsubscribe...
But i nide the mods for a server....
and it happends white every mod i play
also your mods via arma 3 launcher options
I started 2 days ago i dont know what you guys talking about (‾◡◝)
verify integrity in steam
did that did not work
ok... before jumping to modded multiplayer, you should learn the basics first
!gettingstarted
If you're new to playing Arma, its recommended to have a read of #info_help_tips and especially the getting started guide (https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Getting_Started).
Those resources will provide you with a good way to learn the basics of playing Arma 3 in both single- and multiplayer.
remove all mods and make sure the game starts without them
I did
Yes and its a fun server to play whit friends
are all the mods from steam workshop?
I think so my friend sent me them from discord and i inported them
It looks like this
right so you will just need to try the mods 1 by 1 to figure out if some of them are broken
But to play the server i nide all the 80 .·´¯(>▂<)´¯·.
don't join the server...
load one mod, click play, see what happens
repeat until you found the fishy mod
😦 okay
What sort of error could this be?
@brave imp
mod / mission error. nothing you can do
If you want it fixed, report it to the mod/mission creator.
I did, I reported it in both their discord and this.
Got told to share my mod list and mission file. The mod list is 30GB so it will take a while
You know you can export your used mods from the launcher to a HTML file? No need to send over the actual files.
Why are the Pelter drones still not fixed? Every time I try them out I get stuck and cannot move or exit them. Very annoying in multiplayer.
Is there anything I can do to get out or not have it happen, simply don't use the gunner or what?
I’m currently unable to launch arma 3 due to the error of it being “unusually shut off”
try restart ur pc
Ofc I’ve done that, nothing happened
Verfify integrity of files?
working on some triggers for a mission, haven't done this in a while, and the trigger is activating at mission start instead of when a player walks in it
Y my car had no door??
Some cars spawn without doors, its part of the vehicle randomization
also you can take a screenshot with F12
Oh good to know
Is there a way to disable it?
Uh not sure if there's a way to disable it overall
Someone else having problem with achillite beta?
So I'm testing a multi-player mission and it keeps spawning me in the corner of the map and not the custom respawn position and ideas of what going on?
I just deleted an arma 3 profile, but when I go into profiles, it's still there. It's not my main profile. I even tried deleting all my profiles in Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles but this 1 profile keeps on coming back...
How can I get rid of it? I couldn't modify addon options on that profile anymore (I assume I somehow corrupted it when importing cba settings) so I wanted to start on a new clean profile
And since this corrupted profile has the same name as the profile I want to create, it's definitely going to cause issues since it's just a folder in "Arma 3 - Other Profiles", so it keeps on messing with my shit
Been having this strange AA issue with only Arma for X amount of months now. used to be totally fine.
As you can see in the video. AA causes a strange graphical glitch, as compared to the opposite when disabled.
Context:
This never used to happen until months ago when I suddenly noticed it.
Not sure if it has always been a thing and I never noticed it but I highly doubt it.
Any general advice on how to fix this?
Any idea anyone?
how come on my pc i can host on any game i play
minecraft
dcs
any game that supports peer to peer hosting
except arma. i cant host at all on arma like im invisible to the world.
steam wont let me invite as it cant see the server existing and friends cant direct connect with my IP
Have you an open port on your router?
weve tried and its like it wont go to my pc (router says yes pc says no)
ive tried using ports on arma that i know for sure work but still nothing
Hm. Usually this is where all the problems come from
ive tried firewall too and ive even gone to the point of disabling it for a few seconds to see if i can get a ping of existence out but still
ill also add that it used to work just fine then one day after an arma update it just cut and never been able to play MP since on my own host
compositions not working in pub zeus maaan, fix fix fix, yes yes yes
thing is as well, is it gets past the "trying to setup port forwarding" stage
and i can walk around whatever mission i start exactly like im playing a game of SP
but if my friend tries steam join friends its the "server not responding" and direct connect it just cant find the server at all
Is your friend trying to direct connect to the right IP adress?
Any one know why it don't let me take the rockets?
No inventory space
But it dosent let me roled it and i have it in my inventory
Weird
Look it is weird
My wild guess is you have the spent PCML which you can't reload, because of some Mods
I got problems with my surround sound. I cant hear things right in front of me but when i turn I can hear them left or right
Yeah that was it
@subtle onyx
Update your drivers. If that doesn't fix it, roll back to simple 3.5mm jack stereo
I have done that it still doesnt work. I have restarted my computer and verify integrity files a few more times. Nothing
i cant map my joystick. whenever i go to try and configure the mapping, the screen is all zoomed in
My game doesn't load the mods into the game when i launch the game even though they are loaded on the launcher, even if i wait a couple of minutes, anyone have a solution for this? im currently verifying integrity to check, i even tried restarting, unloading all the mods (and launching the game), and reloading the mods again but to no avail
Mods may be loaded, but do not necessarily get used by the mission. Which mods in particular are you talking about? And what mission did you try it in.
Mod should be shown with an icon in the main screen at the bottom. And listed under Options menu/expansions.
im using a hefty amount of mods actually, they used to work before but now ive been running into several problems with steam itself, but they are not popping up on the bottom of the main menu screen which prompted me to restart, unload, start, reload and start again the game multiple times thinking it will fix it, the only thing i havent done is restarting the game
also i can see that the mods are working because on the main screen, it changes the "vehicle" on display and it is showing Firewill's F-18 which would mean the mods are working but i cant speak to locate any servers, start up a server, start up a single player game even, i also even tried verifying which patched up 1.6 gigs worth of missing stuff but that still didnt work, im thinking of just restarting my pc and seeing if itll do any effect

ayo im not able to load my mission and getting these errors. some help on how i could get rid of them would be highly appreciated
i especially have no clue what the unknown enum value is about
mission is working until slotlist.
choosing a character and loading it then brings you back only
no units/groups show up when I am in zxeus
When in Zeus go on modules, then Zeus, then update editable objects, then only switch one thing in this where you can choose „All“ and then confirm
there is nothing in modules
Are you in editor or in Zeus?
Strange
want to help?
Yeah although I’m just desperate trying to get my own mission to work atm
So imma bit confused
@lavish cairn when you are in Zeus does your user interface look like a Triptychon, having a big center that’s free from everything, a left bar that says edit and a right bar that says create?
yes
Under create you have 5 different buttons right?
yes
nope
Nothing?
Iirc you should have at least the basic stuff + maybe some modules that come straight from the mods
nope...
The match you are hosting is that a multiplayer match?
yes
thanks for the help
bruh
my server is giving me this error
17:46:48 ace_cargo
17:46:48 rhsusf_c_troops
17:46:48 ace_compat_rhs_usf3
17:46:48 RHS_US_A2_AirImport
17:46:48 rhsusf_c_ch53```
¯_(ツ)_/¯
yea there in the modpack and re downloaded them but same error
you're missing ace and RHS mods
I mean I can send you the command line but they are in there
how do i stop this from showing it keeps popping up like i hit a keybind and it stop me from being able to control AI
the waypoint selector or something
When using Ace3 , CBA, all RHS, JSRS makes me crash when firing guns. I pinpointed it that it is Ace3 that is doing this.
!steamverify
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
Try to repair ACE
Alright
Also I just opened my crash file
Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 8EE80C9A
most of the time its numpad 0, it creates this pushed farther type of free roam camera around your third person character, pressing the delete key will remove this
*Squad leader cam
i dont know what its called xD never really used it before
for better situational awareness
good to know
okay now my issue is that rhs and antistasi plus wont work together
the server is up and all mods are working
its just that antistasi plus is using vanilla weapons and the nato faction
okay turns out the mods werent working, i changed the parameters to try to get them to work and now its tellign me im missing a lot of entries in all my mods
does anybody have any clue whats going on
im trying to set up mods on this server and nothing im finding anywhere helps
its definitely the mods because when i remove them the game works fine
Holy crap it works now, thanks so much!
any idea why I spawn somewhere in water? I got like an error saying "no respawn inventories found" or something like that
Then the command line may have it, but the command line points to the wrong place or something. The mods are not found or something similar. From the server's point of view the mods are not loaded.
The server creates a RPT log file. Somewhere down the line it creates a table showing all the mods mentioned in the command line. Check if they are actually found.
im using a server hoster i cant get the rpt logs
i think the mods are being detected its just that the server breaks when trying to play with them
now the server is completely broken and wont start up
