bad mod/script

[tawdry ivy]

Hello, so I've been running into a issue with trying to run a session and my friend cannot see my server but I can see his. I've checked my ports and tried to find out what the issue is to no success. I'd really appreciate any tips or advice on how to solve this issue.

[steady hawk]

!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”

[steady hawk]

You can probably check these things

(Don't ask me how actually, I also got the same and no clue how!)

[tawdry ivy]

I will take a look because my router could be sending out the wrong ip address since I've moved.

[cold yacht]

i think its the mods itself that are messed up, the server works and the mods work client side but server side everything is not working

like i can open the ace interact menu but do nothing else with the mod

[ocean nacelle]

For some reason my game takes so long to update then says “disk error” on my steam when there’s no error at all

[uncut trellis]

@ocean nacelle do you have mods?

disks error sounds like you are running out of disk space

[ocean nacelle]

Yes I do but I am also repairing them

I only have the game in my D drive

And there’s a lot of space

[uncut trellis]

either your hard drive is broken or you are out of space

[wise barn]

whatever steam installs on your drive, you need at least double the free space

so, if you download a game/mod that is 4GB, you need at least 8GB of free disc space

[bronze river]

also check if C has enough room just in case

[ocean nacelle]

Ok

Hello I need help with Units not working on the website or on the launcher

[steady hawk]

Known, and it's just down as usual. As per #community_units they're working on the fix but not happening yet

[craggy solstice]

It's been like that for a while now and do you know what remoteexec restriction #39 is?

[steady hawk]

Yes and no

You can Google remoteexec restriction so you can find some similar topics

I don't really do MP nor server hosting so I don't really know what it was

[pine kite]

Sure you can, most likely hidden in a folder you can access on the server with an FTP program. RPT files are important to trouble shoot. If the hoster hides them from you deliberately, find another hoster.

Then you definitely need to contact the hoster to get your server repaired to a default state.

[pine kite]

Very likely, every time it starts up after being off for a while it could get a different IP. Even when in a different neighbourhood.

[tawdry ivy]

I ended up doing a hard reset on my router and it fixed the issue hope this helps someone else.

liberation you run on your own machine hosting yourself with your own modset or liberation you play on online server with servers modset or your own modset? @storm seal

[tulip escarp]

Just started having two weird issues today.

Any time I take any damage I instantly die. Using ACE and KAT Pharmacy. Nobody else is having this issue. It only happens on server, doesn't happen offline or hosted multiplayer on same mission file with same mods. Changing uniforms/vests makes no difference. Tried restarting Arma and relogging, issue persists. Tried repairing all mods, no change.

Second issue is with regards to view distance. Using CH View Distance with view distance set to 12k. Actual view distance is closer to 1k. When using keybind with CHVD set distance shows while holding key, but as soon as key is released view distance goes back to 1k. Nobody else is experiencing this issue. Repairing mod did not resolve issue.

Seemingly unrelated issues, but both started today.

[pulsar sand]

i have a two problems, firstly alot of things in menu's are overlapping, secondly i cant do the reality check, im just stuck on watching a soldier standing

[fringe salmon]

I'm having an issue in the 3den editor, where when I try to move an object or unit I've placed, it pops underneath the map and I can't move it.

I can't really explain the issue, but I have a recording of it: https://youtu.be/QVEmz6rvMwA

Any ideas?

[grim tinsel]

Hm reminds me of the behaviour that happens when you reach the movement 'extremes', that does some odd stuff sometimes

can you move them normally if you grab one of the soldiers and move the group?

[fringe salmon]

No

[grim tinsel]

(as in all still selected but instead of unit grab a soldier)

hm

[fringe salmon]

Everything moves like that

[grim tinsel]

non-composition stuff too?

[fringe salmon]

I actually try that in the video

[fringe salmon]

Same effect with non-composition stuff

[grim tinsel]

ah

[fringe salmon]

I've even saved and re-loaded 3den

[grim tinsel]

can you try playing around with the ground snapping toggle?

[fringe salmon]

Okay one moment

[grim tinsel]

middle/right icon, dunno which one

maybe thats causing it

[fringe salmon]

Still locked, but now at least at ground level

It's like it's snapping to something

aha

One moment

Fixed

[grim tinsel]

What was it?

[fringe salmon]

Turns out it's a feature.

It's called Translation Grid

I must've clicked L at somepoint and turned it on

[grim tinsel]

Ahh ye

thats a thing

[fringe salmon]

why would anyone want that feature

[grim tinsel]

[fringe salmon]

Hmm yes a button that makes all your objects under the floor and unable to move

[grim tinsel]

there's propably at least one guy somewhere that loves it

[fringe salmon]

Welp back to making my spooky op

[grim tinsel]

[cloud geyser]

why can't i update my ATRAGMX?

it's just a little off, 0.5R instead of 0.13L. that is because wind speed changed.

[lyric pier]

I'm having an issue where my arma3 units aren't loading, also the units website isn't loading

[grim tinsel]

Yeah units is props just down

[amber scaffold]

Why can't I use units anymore?

[grim tinsel]

No crossposting please, as mentioned in #general_chat_arma units is down

[grizzled solstice]

i have some mods that can not be unloaded even after unsubscribing and a full restart of my computer

anyone exprence this problem as im close to a reinstall

if not atleast where the loadouts are saved so i can not lose them

[brave hawk]

@lament hollow find help here

[wise barn]

@grizzled solstice
did you ever modified files in ..\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Addons?

[grizzled solstice]

i tryed unsubscribing and rebooting before messing arround with the files though

sorry for the late reply

[wise barn]

you did not answer my question

[grizzled solstice]

sorry for the bad wording i tryed some troubleshooting like reloading the mods and un subscribing first before messing with the files and revalidating

[wise barn]

did you ever modify the content in the path i asked you, like putting files in there?
yes or no?

[grizzled solstice]

When the issue started No

[uncut trellis]

reinstall might be good idea here. Also make sure you clear up the steamapps\common\Arma 3 folder just in case you have put stuff in wrong places

loadouts etc are saved in the profiles folder

[wise barn]

☝️

[grizzled solstice]

thanks ive deleted that folder and re installing now

[grizzled solstice]

horible news! after going through steam with a reinstall the mods are still there

[grizzled solstice]

can somone help me backup my loudouts so i can just Wipe it

as uninstalling has not fixed the issue

Issue resolved : mod that i was using injected itself in to the starting commandline

[fringe salmon]

if the filesize of the steam Arma 3 folder remains identical, no matter how many mods i install

where on earth are the mods being downloaded to?

[rotund snow]

modsfolder of steam

[bronze river]

in Steamlibrary>steamapps>workshop>content>[arma 3 game id (some numbers)]

[worldly berry]

for some reason mods are not showing up on steam?

[pine kite]

Maybe they are removed. Steam may be slow, but I can visit mod pages in the workshop.

[lethal violet]

Subscribing to mods on the Workshop is currently broken

Steamstat.us isn't reporting any outages but myself and others cannot subscribe to anything from any workshop pages, no matter the game or mod

[quartz wren]

question- why can i not seem to be able to access mod units, weapons, ect in a lan zeus server i created? im using rhs, and unsung

[wicked wind]

did you allow all addons to be enabled in the zeus module?

[quartz wren]

um... good question

where and how do i find that

[wicked wind]

in the editor

edit the zeus module parameters

should be an option that allows you to change it

workshop seems to be working again

could someone help me solve ?

[steady hawk]

What it says in English?

Ah well, I just typed it into Google and says... data error (cyclic redundancy check)

Do you have any Mods?

[fringe salmon]

yes

[steady hawk]

Then unload Mods

[fringe salmon]

ok

[steady hawk]

The error suggests you have some bad Mods. I don't know what Mods you have right now, but suggest not to use it

Also, why you'd install a Mod when you just got the game?

[fringe salmon]

I did not install any mod, do not know why it appeared several already the first time I downloaded the game

[steady hawk]

You said yes and then no?

[steady hawk]

Check the pinned

[valid talon]

I just spent

6 hours downloading mods

and i went onto the game

and none of them installed

[pine kite]

You need to enable mods in the launcher before the game uses them.

[runic sandal]

Is there a way to enable native Google Captions on Windows machines, to synch with the audio on Arma radio?

[clever star]

hey i need help, game was working fine while im running abt 40 mods with a unit but it crashed randomly and now im stuck on every time i launch the game, load the server and slot in, it crashes and gives me error code 0xC0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION, i tried multiple fixes for it from what i read online but none have worked so far

[fringe salmon]

It keeps saying this

[uncut trellis]

this means bad mods

[fringe salmon]

it was working fin afther I restared my pc

[uncut trellis]

for example 3 mods A B C

mod A is trying to run after mod C mod B is trying to run after mod A mod C is trying to run after mod B

and in circles they go and would crash your computer

you have done something different, like loaded more mods or something

or mod updated and broke

99% certainty problem is borken mod

[fringe salmon]

ok

[distant ice]

Hi Guys. May I know where to submit change request of Arma 3? I am a mod maker. I am make some animation that of the script command " animate source". In order to perform " slippery " effect on mud/marsh surface.

[uncut trellis]

such changes are not going to happen anymore

[distant ice]

The only tech gap now is that the "wheel rotate" animation is not available to perform using " vehicle animateSource [wheel_1_1, 0.9, 1]" , due to the engine limitation.

[uncut trellis]

you can add additional animation bone with user action before the wheel bone if you like

[distant ice]

AS per WIKI shows, some of the "animationNames" listed name is not allowed to trigger by script command

[uncut trellis]

or another animation class actually

yes

but you add another that is

you have wheel selection

and animation that uses source wheel

and animation that uses source wheel_user that you define yourself in animationSources

and then run that with scripts as you like

mutliple animations can affect same bone

[distant ice]

Thanks, .HG. So... let me introduce little more abt the background. My mod is adding some scripts to all "car" class. not to some specific vehicle. The surface type detection function has already been implemented. So What I am hoping to achieve is that do something on script level, not to rewrite the config on every vehicle which is not possible for me because there are countless vehicles in vanilla and workshop modes as you know. 😩

[steady hawk]

Such requests must go #arma3_feedback_tracker (aka https://feedback.bistudio.com) but as he said it's not really going to happen

[distant ice]

Opps...I see.

Thanks Polpox.

[night eagle]

When I convert the FIR F-16 to a simple object this appears.

How can I disable it?

[uncut trellis]

youll have to try to play with the animationSources

its modded vehicle

so basically

[night eagle]

Alright, also how tf do I stop pilots from auto parachuting.

[uncut trellis]

dunno. there might be scripting command that works for that. check the wiki scirpting commands page

[dreamy tide]

Can anyone help me with performance issues?

[pine kite]

If it is hardware questions, then #hardware_vs_arma. If it is settings, then has high as possible or use autodetected settings. Also check performance options effects: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Performance_Optimisation

Better explain what you are running into, rather than ask to ask.

[dreamy tide]

I was just running through the arma3.cfg file to tweak a few graphics settings and noticed that the file has still autodetected my old cpu, just wanted to know if i have to manually change this or if there is another way.

[pine kite]

I guess you can remove those lines and it will do some tests to find details about the new one. Or it simply doesn't care about those. Might be just old left over stuff.

[fringe salmon]

I keep coming across the issue of Arma 3 wiping all of my data. It doesn't happen all the time but it happens on occasion. When I load up the game itself I come across a pop-up message asking me: "Are you new to Arma 3?" Wipes everything from there. Saved arsenal loadouts, settings, etc.

I know it probably has to do something with renaming a profile itself in my folders, thus trying to constantly create a new profile.

Is there a workaround with this issue?

[uncut trellis]

do you use oneDrive?

it can mess up the profile

[fringe salmon]

It's in my folder but I don't actually use it. I don't know if it's automatically enabled or if it's already disabled.

[uncut trellis]

if there is folder for it then its probably enabled

I dont use it and dont know the details, but Im fairly certain it messes up the user files where arma profiles are stored

[fringe salmon]

Just uninstalled it. I'll see if restores anything within the Arma 3 profile itself I made.

Nothing really changed. But is there a way I can recover the settings and saved stuff I had in the arsenal before?

[uncut trellis]

if you have the old profile files you can copy them into new profile folder and it should work

if onedrive lost them, then they may be lost for good

[pine kite]

Depends on backups of your computer.

[fringe salmon]

Never used OneDrive so it wouldn't be placed there.

Where would I find these backups? Or where would I store the files for the new profile folder?

[pine kite]

If you made backups then you would know them. They are not made by default. That is the user responsibility. And the majority of people never bother.

There are 3rd party programs that can make backups to other storage. Depending on your kind of Windows license you can do it with built in backup means.

[uncut trellis]

well if Ive understood right onedrive should be the thing making the backups into cloud or whatnot

but dunno if it works right with Arma. At least I've heard many people have had problems with it

[fringe salmon]

Never used OneDrive for that kind of feature, so that's on me. I'll see if I can find other means to do so; but if I do transfer the current profile I have right now into a different folder where would I move it to? Under documents?

[pine kite]

Your profile is stored in the 'Arma 3' folder in your documents. It is derived from the Windows user account name. Or in 'Árma 3 - Other Profiles' if you made a secondary profile from within the game with a custom name.

[fringe salmon]

I'm using the Other Profiles for my main one.

[pine kite]

Nvidia Control panel? On mine it has an option to set default choice for onboard GPU or dedicated GPU. And specific settings for a specific application.

[golden nova]

do you have the issue that your head is turning but your gun stays in the same position?

if yes then double click Left Alt

[fringe salmon]

when I move my weapon my view does not change except if I shake it a lot

[fringe salmon]

not always

[gloomy sphinx]

.

use this

double click left alt

to stop freelook

[fringe salmon]

thats not the problem

[gloomy sphinx]

?

[fringe salmon]

it's not similar because i can move my gun

but the view doesent change if i move my gun a bit

it only move my view if i put my gun on the borders of my screen

[golden nova]

go into your settings and there should be something about a gun deadzone

[fringe salmon]

aim deadzone ?

[golden nova]

if you lower it to 0 your gun should move with your head, any higher value will cause to move just your gun first and then your head if you're closer to the border of your screen

yes i think

[fringe salmon]

ye it worked

Hello, how to make arma 3 use the graphics card? because currently I only have 20 fps while low having an i3 with a gtx 1050 ti, 8gb ram

[uncut trellis]

low settings dont use graphics card

[graceful saffron]

i have 20 fps low settings

the game starts without using the graphics card

[uncut trellis]

try the autodetect in video settings

[graceful saffron]

already tried I tried a lot of things and nothing changes the game starts without using the graphics card I see it in the task manager it does not use the 3D card

[uncut trellis]

[graceful saffron]

@uncut trellis you the game launches fine using the graphics card or not?

[uncut trellis]

yes

[graceful saffron]

it's really weird it's the only game that does it to me maybe because of the launcher

[uncut trellis]

if you see the game when you run it, it means your gpu is working and drawing it

[pine kite]

Which i3 CPU do you have?

[graceful saffron]

precisely when I launch the game there is only my processor that it uses and my graphics card is at 2% so not used

@pine kite Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-6100 CPU @ 3.70GHz

[pine kite]

Ok, CPU core speed looks alright enough. At least I get better rates with my comparable/slightly lower spec i5-4210h. I don't know why Arma 3 is not using your Nvidia GPU more. Aside from Nvidia Control panel option to force onboard GPU by default. Make sure that is not the case.

[graceful saffron]

I have already looked in the nvidia panel and I see nothing special

[cobalt fern]

So I just restarted my dedicated server running KP Liberation and it seems nothing has saved. Is there anyway I can recover the old save?

[safe bronze]

im so retarded thank you

[uncut trellis]

[pine kite]

It's the server's profilename.vars.arma3profile file. Make you you are looking at the right profile. If nothing saved then you don't need to recover from an old save. Progress made during your play time obviously is lost. It should save every minute. Are you sure you did not use the reset option in the mission parameters?

[cobalt fern]

No I just restarted the mission and the progress has gone

But the mission parameters are saved

Do u want to see the RRT file from before and after it didnt save?

[pine kite]

I don't know what to get from that. But other might.

[cobalt fern]

Wdym?

[pine kite]

In some other problem cases the RPT file might be usefull. I don't know what to find in that to solve or analyse your problem. But other people might.

[cobalt fern]

might I have to just manually just get to the progress where i was before?

[copper imp]

hey ive got a beafy settup but the game running poor is there anything i need to know ?

[noble lynx]

Hello, hopefully someone can help! Seems like this last update erased all of my Loadouts and campaign progression. any help to restoring it? -Thanks

[uncut trellis]

those are stored in your profile

profile is stored in windows user folders

if you made new profile those would not transfer over unless you copy the files containing them

if your profile got wiped by some windows thing then it might be lost

if you use oneDrive, it often breaks the profile files for some reason

[bronze river]

probably some pathing issues

because that's a lot of assets on the ground (even the road too i believe)

[ocean nacelle]

What part of that? @pine kite as mine upgraded to windows 11 I think

[rough tulip]

Hmm that's sad to hear. Maybe I jank it a bit and move more. I hope the road isn't causing the issues though haha.

[uncut trellis]

thats not a real road is it?

its some fully built scene?

[rough tulip]

No I've made a whole city from scratch for my scenes.

[uncut trellis]

yeh AI pathing will not work in that

Damn that sucks

Alright

if you want movement you will need to use unitcapture and play it back

Hello, does anyone know why this error: You cannot play/edit this mission it is dependant on downloadable content that has been deleted occurs?
I've been trying to play an scenario, once i died and wanted to load a save this error popped up and couldn't play it anymore. Are there any solutions?

[wise barn]

Yes.
You had mods loaded while this save game happened. You must have the same mods running as back then

[fringe salmon]

i do

for example i've got my mods loaded and ill play DRO Altis

then if i die, and decide to load a save i did while playing the mission this pops up

I haven't used these mods ever

so i don't know why they pop up

[bronze river]

probably the old save files are using the old version of the mod

[pine kite]

It is not installed by default in any Windows installation. Most games/applications install it on their own account if they need it. As Arma 3 should.

The x64 file if you have a 64-bit Windows OS (can't imagine who would still have a 32-bit one) and the x86 file incase you have programs that are pure 32bit applications. Doesn't hurt to install both. The _arm version is unlikely needed as that is more for embedded devices based on Arm processors.

Ohh ok

[round sinew]

Hi i have a slight issue with zeus.

[spare basin]

On Arma 3, I can only set my texture quality to standard, with high not even showing up, any ideas on how to fix it? Even if I set the preset to ultra, texture quality stays at standard.

[uncut trellis]

Might be something wrong with your hardware

[spare basin]

Yeah, my laptop has 512 mb of VRAM, but it allocates 3 gb of RAM to the GPU

[uncut trellis]

yeaah unfortunately I dont think you will be able to get any more from that

[spare basin]

Alright. My old laptop, with about the same specs and a worse CPU was able to run the textures all the way up to ultra, of course the framerate was horrible, but it let me select it so I'll try some more stuff. When I get more RAM into my current laptop it may work better as well. Thanks.

[south totem]

any help?

[fringe salmon]

guys i need help

yesterday I played Arma 3 without problems, both in the editor and on the server (without mods), today I tried to go to the server and it freezes completely on loading the map, and every time it freezes I have to close the game through the task manager, and after closing i got this error

UNABLE_TO_INIT_DXGI

what is it and how to fix it

i tried to restart my pc and updated DX

but still nothing happens

[quaint beacon]

Yo! Anyone experienced using Arma 3 on Linux? I'm trying to run through proton, and the game launches when I use -noLauncher. But the game won't detect any of my mods. I tried using a 3rd party launcher to enable mods, but the 3rd party launcher do not detect any mods either

I'm able to find the mods when I right-click the game in the Steam UI -> properties -> Workshop. There I'm supposed to be able to activate them AFAIU? I can click on them, but if I leave the tab and go back in again they're left unchecked...

[uncut trellis]

you would need to add them to your commandline

running the launcher first is recommended though so when you join server through the launchers server browser it can set up mods for you

assuming that works on proton

[quaint beacon]

what do you mean? Like in the launch parameters?

[uncut trellis]

not sure what you exactly mean by launch parameters as I am not linux user but sounds like that would be where the -mod = @modnamesInarow should be

[quaint beacon]

In Steam you can right-click a game, and under properties you can choose launch parameters

[uncut trellis]

that would be very cumbersome way to launch the game though in case you ever change mods you use

Id strongly recommend using the launcher

or making whatever is linux equivalent to shortcuts

this because you can only join server if you are running correct mods

and you cant swap mods on the fly

is there a reason why you dont want to use the launcher?

[quaint beacon]

It's bugged

I just get an error when I try to launch it through the launcher

[uncut trellis]

what error?

[quaint beacon]

Unexpected error occured:
The method or operation is not implemented

Details are stored in a text file on your desktop.

But since it's through Proton, it doesn't pop up on my dekstop xD

[uncut trellis]

I suppose you are stuck with the shortcuts/launch parameter thingy

[dusky scarab]

i thin thats the problem cause

[pine kite]

That rpt file is a log file. It should at least contain the beginning of the commandline used to start the server or game. That may provide more clues what goes wrong.

[dusky scarab]

do you know how to fix it ?

it says the cloud file provider coud not start

[quaint jewel]

cloud file provider coud not start
Put that into google, and click the first or second link

[dusky scarab]

why is there a lot of rex crosse on my apps

brooo god bless you it worked i have been weeks tryng to solve this !!

[muted willow]

this keeps happening, don’t know how to fix it

says this as well

[bronze river]

verify game files on steam

[muted willow]

alright

[muted willow]

all verified

i think i found the problem though

yep, got it

was supposed to download C++ 2013

[calm mica]

Can anybody check why the game crashes

this happens everytime i try to launch the game itself

[golden nova]

does it happen without mods loaded?

[calm mica]

I haven't tried

[golden nova]

the error itself doesn't mean anything but my guess is either you load too many mods at once and your pc can't handle that or one of them is broken/one is conflicting with another

[calm mica]

ok thx

[pine kite]

You have a huge number of mods. Start with the basics, or no mods at all, test if you server works. Then slowly add mods in increments and check again. Repeat until if fails. You can't diagnose this big blurry soup of mods.
At the top of the RPT file hidden in that zip the first sign of a bad mod is this:
12:28:50 File G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3\!Workshop\@TCP - TiGGer's Clothing Pack\mod.cpp, line 5: '.overview': Missing ';' at the end of line Remove that and see where the next (similar) error comes. The first error can be the cause of many succeeding ones.

[versed tendon]

it pretty much says "we don't support this anymore, go away" on the help thread.

[uncut trellis]

@versed tendon what help thread?

[versed tendon]

in the upper right of th eunits pace there's a Units Beta button that links to it.

it's a huge thread, mostly people complaining that it's down... and some choice responses from devs.

https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/186322-arma-3-units-feedback-thread/?page=24&tab=comments#comment-3295659

that's the main response, there's a few more with specifics but you get the idea.

[uncut trellis]

alright then its unlikely to change then I suppose

[versed tendon]

it seems it only gets worse with time.

probably something substantial that needs fixing

[torpid fossil]

is anyone else experiencing game crashes like 5 min into playing? pc runs every other game i have fine

just bought the game today

[uncut trellis]

No such things are naturally not normal. You may be encountering a sound related issue. If you got headset or speakers that have USB connection try unplugging that

Or try the sound fix in the pinned messages

[torpid fossil]

what? your response makes no sense..

[wise barn]

it actually makes a lot of sense

Me and my friend wanted to play a game mode with ACE but when I joined the server it told me I have a different version of ACE, I checked my version, we both were using the same version I tried reinstalling it and even deleting the entire folder for it but I still have that issue anyone can help please?

[pine kite]

What matters is that both of you have the same version as the server. Maybe the server has an old version compared to what you 2 have gotten from Steam. Or you subscribed to an older version uploaded by others. Make sure to know what the case is. If you have verified that both versions are the same, there may be something wrong with the verification key files suggesting you have an older version of ACE.

[calm mica]

Thanks

[runic briar]

how i can fixed it?

[bronze river]

issue with Nvidia cloud gaming?

[runic briar]

i think

[bronze river]

try contacting their support

[pine kite]

Probably Onedrive messing up your profile.

[bronze river]

or that

[runic briar]

how i can check that>

?

[pine kite]

Disable Onedrive, and try again.

[runic briar]

ok

[pine kite]

If you put that error message in Google you would also have found a hint to that.

[runic briar]

still 😦

[runic briar]

i fix another one now i have this 😦 i have bad luck today

[pine kite]

repair/verify the game through Steam

[runic briar]

ok

[wise barn]

remove OneDrive from your OS, then try this
https://feedback.bistudio.com/T139766

[wise zealot]

1st of all I forgot to say that my friend is hosting the server 2nd I checked, I verified the versions through game files and I'm sure I'm subscribed to the right ace mod in steam workshop, also I realized whenever I open up any mission in game it will also say that the RHS compats are outdated

[pine kite]

Then you isolated the problem.

[wise zealot]

Any solutions tho?

[pine kite]

Get updated RHS compatibilty mods.

[wise zealot]

Then, what about ACE?

[pine kite]

what about it?

[wise zealot]

Just checked again, RHS version also match ACE's version idk what the hell is going on

[runic briar]

ok now work thx a other guy who help me

[pine kite]

Ace is released on Steam by an acount named Acemod. It also published ACE Compat for various RHS mods. I don't know what you have exactly on your system. But get it from the original source.

[wise zealot]

The other RHS compat is also from acemod

[pine kite]

Ok, the source is correct then. Make sure both are on the server and on your computer (and that on your friends' computer)

But I am lost in what the actual problem was or error message.

[wise zealot]

Hold on, I'll try to get the error message

The error is something like this
"User [user] has a mismatch version of a mod (ace3)
Server version 3.14.1.65 client version 8.2.1.12 (??????)"

[pine kite]

You must have corrupt key files that make the verification go wrong.
Check if you have any bisign files related to Ace in the keys folder of Arma 3. It is in the install folder in your library.

To be sure you don't have any left over other files for ACE:
Shutdown Steam, Arma 3 and the Arma 3 launcher.
Go into the install folder of Arma 3 in your library with Explorer or something.
In it you should find a hidden folder called !Workshop
In it you should also find the ACE mod folder.
Remove any file and folder in it.
Restart Steam, Verify Arma 3
Start Arma 3 Launcher, in your mod list, click the Ace mod, click the 3 dots.
Repair Ace mod with the command shown.

Hi I need help with a problem I have installed the game twice because it said/says “the code execution cannot proceed because was not found. Reinstalling may fix the problem”

[wise barn]

@hearty cave install vcredist for 2013

[dim pawn]

So I got this problem:

and it won't load no servers either.

Even the mods refuse to show up.

[bronze river]

steam probably offline, restart steam

unit is down as always, dont worry about it

[dim pawn]

steam is online, what concerns me is no access to the game servers.

[bronze river]

then restart steam

[dim pawn]

did that, even restarted whole PC.

[bronze river]

use ingame browser

[dim pawn]

that doesn't work either

The vms are located on my server rack. just kinda lost one what i could be missing

[pine kite]

If you have 2 servers in your home, you need to port forward both with each a different set of ports. To avoid problems the next one starting 100 ports aways from the first. Like UDP 2302-2306 and 2402-2406

Hello, I've come back to Arma after a long time and was ready to start Zeusing again but this annoying thing popped up which wasn't happening before.
The thing is when I'm in Zeus and press Q (Move up) the camera moves up, from the looks of it, two times more then it should by pressing the button once. It doesn't happen for the other control Y (Move down). I've already checked for any other inputs and I haven't found any other colliding contol binding. Has anyone here experienced this problem before?

I'll also put a video here

It also doesn't happen in the Editor, only in Zeus

Hello fellas, I've been having issues setting up my TrackIR. When I try using the "Tracking device -tY/+tY" or the "Tracking device -tZ/+tZ" in conjuction with any of the adjust stance key bindings, they seem to ignore the + & - direction, only doing the stance adjust action if there is sufficient movement on either negative or positive vectors on their corresponding axes.

In this video I am attempting to bind the +tY axis to adjust stance up and vise versa with the -tY axis.
https://youtu.be/klaLX7mFbro
It also seems to take into account which action is first in the code environment do decide which action to use.
Not sure if this is a known issue or not but I feel its warranted to bring it to your attention. I can write a bug report if you guys want it.

Alright, how do I get AI to attack groundforces like tanks and such.

Checked ammo types and stuff. I selected the unit I want the AI Aircraft to attack and gave the order to attack but all they do is fly bys.

[vapid whale]

you dont want flyby

instead of attack order you want a fire mission order i think

and the aircraft will fly around and attack the target

i think

Fire Mission order? How do you tie that to aircraft?

The only option I have for fire missions are for Artillery.

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 don't know what's wrong with the modified data file, it's really confusing me

Sometimes i eventually connect, but having to rejoin multiple times is really tedious

[warm marsh]

Restarting Steam and checking if there's any Steam Client updates available usually fixes that.

I mean, we sometimes get that if we've had Steam running on since noon or longer and finally join up in the evening. And we've slowly learned that's usually the way to fix it.

don't use low settings... use autodetection and then reduce view distance. the lower you go with the overall settings, the more load you will shift to the CPU

It may not apply immediately to your problem, but there are some pinned messages about audio problems (check the pin in the top right). Arma 3 isn't really doing all that well with fancy audio. Just 2-channel analog audio works best in the long run. Though for some, like me, my wireless Steelseries 1 headset works fine.

Hello, today Arma 3 Units servers stopped working, I can't acces multi-player, DLCs, mods etc
I don't know if this is something on my end or Arma 3s end, steam is connected, I tried verifying the integrity of game files, it just doesn't work, does anyone know a fix?

[bronze river]

Launcher issue, restart steam should fix that

[humble wagon]

Did you mean the Arma 3 units website connection on your A3 launcher? That should not affect multi-player/mods/dlc's. Best is to restart your game/launcher and if it still continues restart steam. And if no other games have the issue verify you game

Hello everyone, in my server i have 33 mods but after i add one more the launcher stops providing info about the mods. In my .rpt files it talks about steam query data overflow, how do i fix it. I use TADST for the dedicated server

[pine kite]

Add the line steamProtocolMaxDataSize = 1024; to your server config file (the one that has your server name, server password, mission cycle, etc. ; I don't know how TADST allows to edit this) and increase the number until it works.

[sacred jackal]

there are 2 files but i change them but when i run tadst they go back to the normal state

TADST_basic.cfg
TADST_config.cfg

[pine kite]

Sorry, I don't know what TADST does with them. Just know what needs to be put in it to solve that.

I don't use TADST myself. I simply edit my config files and run the server by batchfile and shortcut.

[sacred jackal]

Appreciated for the help Valen, as you mentioned it in private of i select launch as is with the new config file with the steamProtocolMaxDataSize = 1024;it fixes the problem and i can regulate that number to the one i wanted. 🥳

RE: People seeing a red cross on all servers in the in-game browser: https://twitter.com/Arma3official/status/1501231607298297859

Arma 3 (@Arma3official)

There may be a glitch in the in-game server browser that falsely marks 2.08 servers as incompatible. Try connecting any way, or use the Launcher server browser instead. We will be looking into this and anything else reported.

ya som servers are accessible

[sacred jackal]

Hello again my server can't load one specific mod and this is my .rpt file, what should it be ? The mod itself don't have a key

[uncut trellis]

what mod cant you load?

[sacred jackal]

solid sounds

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2647956326

[sacred jackal]

and it gives me this error

[uncut trellis]

creepy mod

would not touch

delete

[sacred jackal]

;_;

[uncut trellis]

do you even know what it does?

[sacred jackal]

hold up it says 27, because i named the folder in my dedicated server

the folder would normally say @ SolidSounds

[uncut trellis]

yeh I looked at the workshop page

mystery mod for at last 2gb of stuff

[sacred jackal]

Its a mix of sound mods

[uncut trellis]

my guess is it contains ripped stuff

Id just throw that out

you wont even notice

[sacred jackal]

😭 okay..

[fringe salmon]

Why is my ip changing , I'm not using any vpn

[uncut trellis]

youll have to ask your ISP

that is however how it usually works unless you buy static IP

[pine kite]

Router turned off for too long? ISP network management or maintenance.

[fringe salmon]

Router ain't turning off

[uncut trellis]

like I said that just happens sometimes. if you want more details you have to contact your ISP

[pine kite]

Well, 1st world countries also have a power outage once every while.

[fringe salmon]

well here in my country i havent got a power outage in years ( i live in eastern europe )

[pine kite]

Then it is most likely ISP network management or maintenance. Ask them if it happens alot.

There are ways to get a DNS domain name that get updated through DDNS services. Some free, others cost money. Then you only need to remember the name to find the IP. Like ping the name, get the IP.

Or just insert the dns name instead of the IP and Arma will find the server.

[quaint jewel]

Server browser shows Red X for servers because it thinks there is a version missmatch.
There is no missmatch, the version number is just being reported incorrectly via Steam Serverbrowser, you can still connect and play just fine.

[cursive herald]

Um i have red X on all servers even mine? any thoughts? No update for arma that i see?

[golden nova]

.

[cursive herald]

I have all the DLC and everything including correct mod pack for our server.

[cursive herald]

thanks, tried and got booted

[golden nova]

no problem

<@&105621371547045888> can we get NeilZar's message pinned until that issue gets solved?

[quaint jewel]

As if people read pins

[golden nova]

I still have hope

[cursive herald]

should have just scrolled up, but didn't see the tweet thanks again

[wraith needle]

Hey people anyone else run into the issue that their servers are saying "message not received" after the update even tho server is running

[cursive herald]

could be part of the on going issue

[quaint jewel]

no, actually not. thats something different

[wraith needle]

yay!

i'm hosting lib mission so i guess the boys over there will come up with something

[robust hemlock]

i updated my arma3 and now i cant join any servers, it says wrong arma version, anyone knows whats wrong ?

ok now i can join but there is still an icon that says wrong version 🙂

[topaz folio]

My server just isnt showing up at all

on the list

[golden nova]

it says you're missing ACE and Zeus Enhanced

[robust hemlock]

i have no mods, i just have this wierd icon

but everything works i guess

[golden nova]

check pinned messages.

does server have them too?

the current Arma 3 version is 2.08 so I suggest buying it and playing on an original copy, you won't have any of the issues you're reporting. Here no one will help you with an illegal game copy, sorry.

[pearl sorrel]

same here, people can connect to our server, but after 2mins or less it will crash everyone and the server.
The only error is missing na3_characters_f
which seems to still occur on vanilla, without any mods.

[quaint jewel]

it will crash everyone and the server.
Then send me crashdumps

the error you posted is "normal"

[quaint jewel]

See pinned messages. You can ignore that its just a wrong icon

[quaint jewel]

ACE is saying he is missing ZEN

[golden nova]

zen requires (@ace3) at version (3,8,3,1,4) (or higher). You have none. I assumed this means the other way

[mighty meteor]

Red X showing on the server saying "Different version of Arma 3" both the servers and my arma have been updated. Any thoughts why I am seeing this?

[quaint jewel]

Read pinned messages. or just scroll up

[pale flint]

Anyone else have rubber banding on all servers after update? I tried restarting all my hardware I'm going nuts...

[mighty meteor]

thank you!

[pearl sorrel]

server was unable to create one :/ idfk why

[quaint jewel]

Well if the clients crashed too, maybe they have one?

[fluid arrow]

I'm having trouble trying to open the missiojns from AOW. The others work.I get this message if i go in the folder.

[golden nova]

I had 3 pings here, what happened

[fluid arrow]

Discord went down

[grizzled stag]

How come that the arma 3 client still says out of date on the server browser even while the server I am trying to connect to is fully up to date?
Both client and server have the most recent version (forced updated the server and validated all game files on the client) I can also join the server without any messages about wrong game version.

[fluid arrow]

scroll up or see the pinned

[grizzled stag]

my apologies, It seems that I am blind

[south estuary]

I still get kicked out of my server so do we have any other fixes?

[shadow wing]

I can't even connect, server is giving me a partial data mismatch, though Server and my client settings are 2.08 from update this morning

[pine kite]

It's close to midnight in Europe. Pretty sure any fix will have to wait until the following day before the developers can have a look at what is known at this point. Give them some time to snooze and code fix.

Best you can do is revert back to the legacy branch via the Beta tab of the Arma 3 properties in Steam. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Steam_Branches

[shadow wing]

I will try that, hopefully it won't kill my game 😅

[pine kite]

Always make sure you have backups.

[half jungle]

Why does this keep showing up?

[wheat pelican]

Hey,

Since the last update of Arma, my server crash with this in the rpt :
"Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 015AEB62
Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 00000000"

If anyone have a solution for this

[fringe salmon]

How to have more than 27fps in koth

[wheat pelican]

I will try to return to a version earlier

[clear badge]

buy a new pc

[fringe salmon]

Have a pretty high spec alrd

[clear badge]

HmM... how many ram ?

[fringe salmon]

32

[clear badge]

And allocate for arma ?

[burnt star]

I just had this issue. I restarted my PC and all is fine.

[wheat pelican]

It is on a dedicated server

I already try this

[burnt star]

Ohh okay

[fringe salmon]

18? I think not sure

Or 16 it was

[pine kite]

The biggest issue in Arma 3 performance is CPU speed. And memory latency.

[cursive herald]

Any update on that server issue? Read the pin didn’t see a update

[pine kite]

Devs sleepy. Need snore.

[wheat pelican]

Im waiting too aha

[wheat pelican]

Yes, but each player has to come back to this version, right?

[formal orchid]

After the latest Arma 3 update, our server keeps crashing after we fully load into the mission.

Anyone else having same problem>

[wheat pelican]

It has been repeated, it is due to the Arma maj, we must wait for the devs to patch it

Or upgrade to an earlier version in 233780 -beta

[broken berry]

hwo do you go about doing that

[rancid patrol]

Can anyone help with this?

[steady hawk]

Don't load it. Or, if is a Workshop Mod, repair it

[waxen patio]

For anyone having issues connecting to servers, we found a solution by creating a new profile. After that, the person was able to connect

don't know if that works for everyone, but worked for us at least

[umbral narwhal]

Getting consistent server/HC access violations with the 32-bit server exe since 2.08, either on startup or first AI spawn. 64-bit server exe seems to work fine.

[nova elm]

Could you please provide the crash dumps in a Feedback Tracker ticket? Would help us a lot in figuring out the issue.

[umbral narwhal]

I'll try to find a minimal reproduction.

[quaint jewel]

I need the crash .mdmp file. RPT info is useless

Same ^

[quaint jewel]

No need. We just need the crash dumps

IF the crash dumps are unsufficient (which is rare) then we might need a repro. But first priority is getting the crashdumps

[umbral narwhal]

https://feedback.bistudio.com/T163658

[quaint jewel]

bidmp is not sufficient. Specifically need the .mdmp

[umbral narwhal]

Doesn't seem to be present?

[quaint jewel]

[umbral narwhal]

ah wait, server dumps it in the client dir

[quaint jewel]

if you put it in a zip its much smaller and easier to upload

[umbral narwhal]

wait no, that's an older client crash.

Going on a hunt :P

Nothing. What would make it not generate a .mdmp?

[quaint jewel]

I don't know :sad:

[remote bridge]

I'm getting the same issue on our server, crashes shortly after loading in with the ACCESS_VIOLATION error. Am I good to post the .mdmp file here? Don't have an account on the BI Tracker

[remote bridge]

nvm, I've added the file to the ticket posted above

[quaint jewel]

Thank you thats a jackpot

But its 32bit

Why are you running 32bit

[umbral narwhal]

You would be surprised how many server providers are running 32bit :P

[quaint jewel]

I am 😠

holy what

there are TWO crashes in your crash

holy macaroni

it crashed after it crashed while trying to report that first crash to our analytics

[umbral narwhal]

I'm guessing mine also crashed while trying to write the crash dump :P

[quaint jewel]

I recently changed that statistics report to run after the mdmp creation. Because I suspected that exactly this was happening and we could never see it.
But I think that change might not even be in stable.

This is really nice to finally be able to see

[remote bridge]

Yeah so in the rpt log there's errors saying mdmp was unable to be created when the server crashes

[quaint jewel]

"being used by another process" heh. its trying to write two mdmp's at the same time

thats why its failing

Because we give every dump the same name, maybe we shouldn't do that 🤔

Ah that dump is not clear enough, I cannot see what caused the first crash of the two

[umbral narwhal]

I'm hunting around for more but no-one else is awake atm

[quaint jewel]

But my change seems to be in there, it only reports after it wrote the mdmp.
If we wouldn't reuse the same name you'd have two dumps. I think the second crash overwrote the first crash's mdmp

[remote bridge]

I might be able to send one or two more your way, 1 sec

hm., actually nvm . One of them is 15 KB and fails to open in WinDbg and the other one is 0 bytes

[umbral narwhal]

ah, looks like it's not deterministic. Sometimes I can get an mdmp.

[quaint jewel]

Well I'll fix that double crash overwriting thing atleast.
Still need to figure out how this happens

I guess now I have a use for a repro 😄

Ah
The dump actually has just enough info of the first crash that I can see where it crashed. Just need to figure out by myself why

[umbral narwhal]

Antistasi Community Altis 2.5.3 with no mods crashes before it even runs mission code with the 32 bit client here.

Added a couple of mdmp files. Apparently it does generate them sometimes.

[quaint jewel]

Thank you! They are good

Oh you're running #perf_prof_branch ?

Did you do that in 2.06 too? You should've already noticed this issue back then 🤔

OMG this is so stupid. Yes I know whats wrong, I already had a hunch when i downloaded your dumps. I simply forgot to think of 32bit for a performance thing i did

This has been tested on #perf_prof_branch for like.. 5 months and noone noticed.
Probably because the people who are versed enough to run a experimental performance build are also versed enough to not run 32bit

What is your reason for running 32bit client? Or did you just do it now to figure out the 32bit server issue?

[remote bridge]

Well in our instance, there isn't really a possibility, it's just what the Server Provider uses

I'll see if they have a way to switch from 32 to 64bit

[quaint jewel]

Ah interesting, thank you Good to know

[astral coral]

Time for an upgrade

Will see if we can switch to a better setup eventually

[quaint jewel]

I should get this fixed soon, there might be other issues 🤞
If I get this fixed now it will be in profiling branch v1 which will be released today. If you can get that onto your server somehow that will fix the crashing

[umbral narwhal]

Personally I only ran 32bit to replicate issues that other people had.

[quaint jewel]

gobbles up all the information

[quaint jewel]

Profiling branch client cannot even go into main menu without starting with -world=empty 😄
As the background world behind main menu is already triggering the crash 😄
Its fixed now and fix is building for #perf_prof_branch

[neat summit]

Hey, since the update I can no longer join a server properly without getting kicked out after a few minutes (Even the updated one of me and my friends). Whatever arma server I find, they all have red crosses with them, telling me I have a different game version, whilst it asks me for 2.08, whilst I have 2.08.

Does anyone have a clue?

[remote bridge]

Apparently switching to the 64bit version was really easy with the server provider lol. Thanks Dedmen and John for pointing out and working on the issue, the server works now!

[umbral narwhal]

I think most of them have a tickbox, although there was one guy on Streamline who thought he'd picked 64-bit but was clearly running 32-bit in the RPT. Can't necessarily count on the interface working.

@neat summit I think the red crosses are just an aesthetic bug and have no effect. What sort of "kicked out" is this?

[neat summit]

Well, when one of us connects, we are allowed to be in the server for like a minute or 4

and then we just disconnect

[quaint jewel]

the red x'es can be ignored.

What does "just disconnect" mean? "No message received" or just pop back to main menu

[neat summit]

We get a Time-out no message received

[quaint jewel]

Is the server crashing?

[neat summit]

No, it doesn't dissapear from the server lists, (and the owner is currently working) so I can't go into much more detail

I figured it was a client issue on my side

[urban current]

hey thats me

server doesn't go offline, everyone just disconnects within 1-5 minutes of joining with a no message received timeout

[umbral narwhal]

And you can reconnect to it fine?

[urban current]

Yeah, but same issue happens

[umbral narwhal]

Does everyone disconnect at the same time or separately?

[urban current]

separately

[umbral narwhal]

Sounds like something on the route is just killing connections.

[urban current]

Yeah but the weird this is this only started happening after the update

before it worked just fine 😄

[umbral narwhal]

while this makes it likely that the update is the problem, it is not certain :P

[quaint jewel]

now for the trick question.. how do I figure out what causes that

We ran a big QA test on stable before we released it and then everything was fine :sad:

[bronze river]

seems like 2.08 having some issues, any chance all will be fixed by small patch or something?

[quaint jewel]

"any chance" the world is literally burning and you are asking if we will fix it or not? 🙃

[bronze river]

well some game dev have their own update date

[quaint jewel]

The biggest issues will be solved by profiling branch release in a few hours.
Then we will wait a bit to collect issues we haven't heard about yet and prepare a hotfix

[bronze river]

oh neat

[spiral nova]

Since the last update (2.08) I have the problem that the creation of tasks with (BIS_fnc_taskCreate) no longer works.
My mission is played in multiplayer and the tasks are created by the server. It worked for 4-5 years now it doesn't work anymore.

Here is an example from my mission who worked bevor 2.08:

_taskID = str _location (is CBA_NamespaceDummy object);
_taskDes = is defined in the CfgTaskDescriptions (
E.g. "beo_task_convoy")

[true,_taskID,_taskDes,objNull,"CREATED",0,false,"attack",false] call BIS_fnc_taskCreate;

No task would be create in the DiaryRecord.

I found out that the Problem must be the _taskID
(E.g. "2191336: empty.p3d").
So the string of a CBA_NamespaceDummy dosent work anymore. I think there are characters in it that are no longer accepted (mayby the space, colon or point).

Okay it is the number(s) + colon (:) at beginning who is not more accept after the 2.08 update.

reproduce (Eden Editor):

• place a player
• open Debug console
• enter this line:

[true, "test:f", ["test_name","test_desc",""], objNull, "CREATED", 0, false, "attack", false] call BIS_fnc_taskCreate;
its working
[true, "test:123", ["test_name","test_desc",""], objNull, "CREATED", 0, false, "attack", false] call BIS_fnc_taskCreate;
its working
[true, "123:", ["test_name","test_desc",""], objNull, "CREATED", 0, false, "attack", false] call BIS_fnc_taskCreate;
its not working
[true, "2191336: empty.p3d", ["test_name","test_desc",""], objNull, "CREATED", 0, false, "attack", false] call BIS_fnc_taskCreate;
its not working

If it should be like this since 2.08 that you have to filter the strings for the right format then please let me know. Then I have to rebuild my mission after 5 years. Otherwise I hope the troubleshooting helps you and it will be fixed in a patch. Sincerely yours

[quaint jewel]

oof. Thank you for the details.
There were changes in taskCreate, but I didn't think anything would influence the possible names

[quaint jewel]

Wow. I found it.
Thats.. wow.
There was a bug about JIP queue (tasks were never removed, they would clutter up JIP queue and may even DoS the server)
Fix was priving a valid JIP id for it.
Problem...
the id is toLower _id and its passed to remoteExec.

If you look https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/remoteExec
JIP accepts "netId" a netId is number:number
so if you have number:... ded

Wiki even says
If the string is in format "Number:Number" (e.g. "0:0"), it is interpreted as a netId (see below)
But what wiki doesn't say is that "Number: bla bla garbage bla bla" is also interpreted as a netId.

[umbral narwhal]

you probably wanna prefix the ID there :P

[quaint jewel]

Or fix the engine improperly thinking something thats not a netid is a netid

Also today I learned there is a undocumented 4th parameter for remoteExec :u

[shadow wing]

Found a fix for getting into my server after this update, kinda sucky though. The method is to delete and re-create your profile, the kicker is that you have to start from the ground up on all your kits that you made 😅

[quaint jewel]

What prevented you from getting in?, the "no message received" thing?

[quaint jewel]

Please check your RPT if you find Trying to call remoteExec(Call) with a null-object as JIP ID

[spiral nova]

Trying to call remoteExec(Call) with a null-object as JIP ID ('2191336: empty.p3d')

yes i have it

[quaint jewel]

Awesome thank you!
Thanks for the detailed write up. I have the code thats causing it infront of me will fix it right now

But your mission might stay broken for a couple days until we push a hotfix.

[spiral nova]

No problem if I can help. We all always want to improve this unique game or get what we can still get out of it. And if there's an error in a patch and I can figure it out quickly, I'm happy to help.

[lone whale]

Hello, having an issue with my server, it is modded. It seems like it's very similar to some already listed. We load in and get booted, for us it's at the same time. But differs on the time we can stay in from mission to mission. Some kick us out immediately and some kick us out after a few minutes. One we were on for 10-15 minutes and it didn't kick us.

The only abnormal thing it does server side is:

=======================================================

Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 00000000

It does that right as it crashes. I know mods haven't updated yet or anything, just want some insight if possible if it's something I should wait for a hotfix for or just start trying to fix the server.

Thank you!

[autumn owl]

exactly same problem here

[quaint jewel]

Are you running 32bit? don't run 32bit or grab #perf_prof_branch server exe in ~30 minutes

[chrome linden]

anyone know what that means?

[umbral narwhal]

Probably means you need to repair Arma in steam.

[chrome linden]

good point ima verify armas files

[lone whale]

I'm not sure, I use a third party hoster, waiting to hear back from them. They're good about it though.

Thank you for the response, hope to see the new patch on steam soon! 😄

[viscid carbon]

I see there are a lot of problems at tje moment and i hope i dont just ask as the 100th guy but is there any problem with radios atm?
Using ACE and im neither able to use a radio or access it via ACE

[quaint jewel]

no

[viscid carbon]

Hm ok
Is there any common mistake i could have made?
Men that have been give just dont have a radio and taking one just puts it in the inventory but is not being able to be used in any way.
The modset we are using shouldnt be the problem as we used and tested it a long time and there were no updates for any of the mods in the last days/weeks

Tried it via Single-Player and Editor-Multiplayer mode

[urban current]

cc @quaint jewel did some more investigation; looks like the server does crash, so ignore what I said earlier. It crashes when it loads in AI (Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 00000000) and shows the time out message to users being connected

[quaint jewel]

32bit?

sounds like 32bit

switch to #perf_prof_branch v1 which was just released with the fix, or use 64bit server

[urban current]

Will check - thanks!

[timid prawn]

lol

[uncut trellis]

not alone with that

[lyric vale]

thanks

[uncut trellis]

its being investigated

[lyric vale]

thanks for info! glad to hear

[quaint jewel]

because its broken. And there is no reason to run 32bit when you can run 64. 64 can use more memory and faster code

[timid prawn]

okay thank you🙂

[lone whale]

Enabling 64bit solved my server's issues.

Thank you so much!!

My friend can't join my server it says he needs 2.08 even though we both have it how do I fix this

[quaint gull]

I've got a bit of a problem,
Inside of a jet in first person I am practically unable to hear the beeping of a missile lock on, it's still there but barely audible. In third person I can hear it clearly, so far I have found no fix for this.

Any chance someone knows how to fix this?

[quaint jewel]

In the ingame server browser? just ignore it and click through

[rich crystal]

Yes in the ingame server browser

he can by pass that?

He said he did and it wouldn't load up for him

[quaint jewel]

just double click

and ignore the error

[rich crystal]

Its not a dedicated server by the way cause mines having massive desync issues after the update its just off my own connecton

[fringe salmon]

My arma keeps getting stuck on one frame ( not responding) if I let it be for a while it will fix its self but its pretty unplayable with mods , any suggestion?

No idea

It's from steam

I'm also kinda new to arma

In Arma 3 Launcher, go to parameters.
Favourites the top one says "Platform" make sure that is 64-bit

[fringe salmon]

Aight

Thanks bro

[fringe salmon]

Yeah , game keeps not responding

Is that Armahosts?

32-bit Arma has a crash bug in 2.08. Armahosts uses 64-bit servers but 32-bit headless clients.

can someone help me please i cant play arma 3 i jud bought it today and ervery time i press play it says arma3_x64.exe - System Error The code execution cannot proceed because was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.

[proper ridge]

Verify on steam or just re-install sounds like you are missing a .net or VC_redist

[fringe salmon]

i did that

[fringe salmon]

how do i fix the .net or vc redist?

[proper ridge]

https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/ , https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

thank you i will see if it works

so just to be clear

i just download these

then try to play arma3?

which one?

[remote bay]

Does anyone know how to update a server using TADST?

[proper ridge]

sorry for late reply, only install the Runetime for .net and install both x64 and x86 for Vc_redist, if that doesnt work then maybe you dont have a 64bit processor (which would be weird)

[fringe salmon]

so i download both x64

[proper ridge]

get the one for running desktop apps and both x86 and x64 @fringe salmon

[fringe salmon]

ok done

@proper ridge

still istg im gonna kms

[wise barn]

@fringe salmon
Install vcredist for 2013

I run a Host Havoc server, and I can say that I am having the same issues others are having. Any custom missions my unit has made cannot run due to the new update, desyncing everyone and crashing the server. I also got this message from the site as well, not sure any of this info helps

[proper ridge]

do you use CBA_A3 and ace?

[wise barn]

@fringe salmoni'm pretty sure you are using a 64bit OS, so... 64bit

[fringe salmon]

[broken berry]

anyone know how to revert to before the update

[normal ether]

anyone know what this could mean?

[pine kite]

An error! If it is a mission, dump it, ignore it, tell it's creator that he has a job to fix this. Move on in the mean time.

[normal ether]

What is the error is what I meant, because its on multiple eden missions I've made.

[pine kite]

That code gets an object, but expected some other kind of datastructure, like an Array, string or config entry. I don't know SQF. Ask in #arma3_scripting .

Ran tonight no problems!

[fringe salmon]

Game keeps freezing randomly, goes back to normal and then it repeats. Any ideas ?

[sand mesa]

using mods?

[fringe salmon]

Any idea why the game won't update to 2.08? My Server has updated but I can't connect because my build is out of date.

I've tried everything, even reinstalling.

[quaint jewel]

if you have server crash reports, send them to me.
If your server is 32bit, use 64bit.

[quaint jewel]

no its not ace nor cba

[quaint jewel]

Did you try ignoring that "outdated" message and just trying to connect anyway?

Did you try reading pinned messages in this channel?

[fringe salmon]

Yes, it still won’t connect regardless

[quaint jewel]

Try switching to #perf_prof_branch
Two major issues are fixed on there, the last will be fixed in v3

[fringe salmon]

But then won't I have to update the server to the same branch?

2013 game, decade old, you would've thought it'd at least update...

oh

I suppose it helps if the server is running...

[quaint jewel]

yes you update only the server.
server and client can missmatch. #perf_prof_branch is compatible with stable.

[fringe salmon]

Gotcha

Now I use FASTER to host my server so how would I change branch?

[quaint jewel]

I don't know :sad:
But you could just download the new server exe from the google drive and replace it manually

[proper ridge]

Do I only need it to be the Headless Clients or Both the Dedicated Server and my Headless Clients?

[quaint jewel]

wherever you want/need it to be

if you only want it to fix the crashes, then you only need to put it where the crashes happen
