[fringe salmon]

I have a mod that gives me those soldiers idk

the truck doesnt bump

[pine kite]

Anything like LAMBS, VCOM, other AI mods?

[fringe salmon]

dont think so

[pine kite]

I guess no AI mods. But I don't know enough about that Alive. Seems to be a mission editor module. Who knows what it does to squad creation and their waypoints. Somebody else may explain this.

[umbral narwhal]

ALiVE is kinda responsible for its AIs. If it wants them out of the vehicle then it'll get them out of the vehicle.

[fringe salmon]

should i just disable it?

[umbral narwhal]

If you're not using it, absolutely. It's not a mod that you should load unless you're using it.

[fringe salmon]

alr

[fringe salmon]

didnt make a difference

just made the AI even dumber

there has to be a command for them to stay in there, no?

[umbral narwhal]

If they're moved in with moveInCargo then they stay there as long as they're not in combat mode, IIRC

If you want them to stay in there even with shooting going on then setting the group to careless should work.

[fringe salmon]

wait

but if I set it to careless

they wont follow the road

[umbral narwhal]

Err, other way around usually

Combat is the one where drivers are less inclined to follow roads.

[fringe salmon]

ok well

what do I do??

[umbral narwhal]

sighs

[pine kite]

Safe should make them follow roads. But I don't know how that is shown in Alive or whatever.

[umbral narwhal]

You never said how they're getting in there in the first place.

There are a lot of ways of setting group behaviour in Arma but I don't know if you're spawning this lot with the editor, with Zeus, from someone else's mission or what.

[fringe salmon]

they spawn in the car

[pine kite]

How does the car get there?

[fringe salmon]

get where???

bro

the car spawns with soldiers

[umbral narwhal]

I should give up at this point, but Arma doesn't spawn anything on its own. Cars, soldiers, whatever. Something has to tell it to.

[burnt imp]

To spawn cars WITHOUT soldiers, uncheck the box at the very bottom-right of the editor that says to spawn soldiers in vehicles.

[fringe salmon]

noooooooooooooo

thats not what i need

😢 😢

whatever i think i fixed it anyway

[burnt imp]

How?

[elder sand]

How do I unstuck my controls when I use the pelter/demining UGVs and do the mistake of getting in the turret cam?

[golden nova]

go to the previous camera through scroll menu?

[fresh heath]

How do I zoom in on a drone

[pine kite]

Numpad plus and minus

[wary sequoia]

In the Arma CFG it has my CPU detected as a Ryzen 7 3700x; changed PCs and now have an intel CPU; how can I fix it?

[sleek karma]

how do i do that

[sleek karma]

Nvm I got it

But now it’s showing this

Not sure what this means

[umbral narwhal]

You are loading a mod that depends on another mod that you're not loading.

[fringe salmon]

kEEPS CRASHING ON joining server...

[wary sequoia]

Arma becomes super choppy at 60 FPS

240HZ Refresh rate

Unsure what's causing it

[bronze river]

Turn on vsync

Also if cpu usage is high it will lag

[pine kite]

It needs some mod called 'flying legends', 'sab' could mean a faction abreviation, or abreviation of the person that made it.

[burnt imp]

Mouse wheel scroll > UAV Terminal.
This will open up the terminal and let yoh choose the flying controls

[cyan abyss]

i'm having some issues with installing mods on a linux server

some seem to work just fine while others don't work at all

[elder sand]

UGV, Contact DLC tracked demining drone and such

[umbral narwhal]

@cyan abyss Lower-cased everything?

[cyan abyss]

yeah i double checked everything

ACE especially is causing alot of issues it seems

could that be because it's linux based?

[umbral narwhal]

I don't know. I thought people normally managed to run ACE.

[cyan abyss]

i seem to keep getting bin\config.cfg.... "no entry"

errors with some mods loaded

[uncut trellis]

some mods might not be made right

or they could conflict with each other

[cyan abyss]

yikes now i think ive entirely broke it

[pine kite]

Start from a known good, default setup. Playtest if it starts a Bohemia Interactive multiplayer mission. Play with difficulty settings if you want. When succes, try a custom/workshop mission without mods. (of which you know someone or many have played it succesfully) If it works add one or two mods. Test if they properly show up. Then add more mods while you keep the rest of them. As some may depend on others and you need them eventually. Revert a step whenever it failed and figure out what went wrong.

[cyan abyss]

yeah i reinstalled a vanilla server, i'll go from there

[left jolt]

Every time i try to load the game this happens can anyone help?

[umbral narwhal]

Repair Arma in steam.

[exotic sable]

Go to your Steam Library, right-click on Arma 3 > properties > local files > verify integrity of game files. The probability of some files arriving wrong after installing Arma 3 seems to be about 50% or greater!

[cyan abyss]

Doing it over again and it seems to work perfectly now, mustve missed something small somewhere that fucked it all up

[nocturne ginkgo]

I tried to play single player and then I'm on the loading screen and then get kicked out of the game and then the error message comes up:

Or this:

Or this

[pine kite]

Verify your game through Steam. Looks like some files are missing or corrupted. Follow the next Bot response.

!steamverify

[rustic eagle]

Steam file verification process:
Right Click on game -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity of game files
Mod repair process:
Open Launcher -> Right Click on mod -> Repair

[nocturne ginkgo]

Where is mod?

I already checked the game, everything was fine

[plain raptor]

it's only if you have mods

[nocturne ginkgo]

i dont have mods

[plain raptor]

yes so you don't have to do that

just reinstall arma 3 if you tried verifying the game files and it doesn't work

[pine kite]

It would actually be:
Open Launcher -> Click Mods tab -> Right Click on mod -> Repair

[nocturne ginkgo]

I dont have mods

[exotic sable]

Go to your Steam Library, right-click on Arma 3 > properties > local files > verify integrity of game files.

[nocturne ginkgo]

I already checked the game, everything was fine

[pine kite]

I know, but if you did. And eventually you will very likely.

[nocturne ginkgo]

I have already done that.

[nocturne ginkgo]

what do you mean?

[pine kite]

I mean that you may not be using mods at this time. But eventually you might feel the desire to use mods in your game. And then you know where to find that.

[plain raptor]

Yes, but that's not the answer to his question

[nocturne ginkgo]

Uh you mean that alright

[plain raptor]

reinstall your arma 3

[pine kite]

It's just a correction of that bot message.

[plain raptor]

of course

[nocturne ginkgo]

But I still have the problem

[plain raptor]

they should update the bot

[plain raptor]

did you try reinstalling arma 3

if not, do it.

[pine kite]

Those bot messages are listed in a Google Doc linked somewhere in a pinned message. Polpox (Not sure who) has suggested I add to it but again I am completely lost where that is.

[nocturne ginkgo]

alright

[nocturne ginkgo]

i try it

[plain raptor]

f

[pine kite]

Found it: #discord_server message

[burnt imp]

Woah. This error definitely looks like:

1. You're trying to play on a server (not singleplayer self-hosted)
2. You have mods installed

Solution: Remove the files (mods) listed in this error.

[pine kite]

But aren't those base game files of Arma 3?

[umbral narwhal]

Either that or auto-downloaded DLC, yes.

Initial answers were correct. It's massive data corruption in the base game. If steam verify doesn't help then reinstall.

[pseudo widget]

@gilded oriole Try updating your GPU or changing graphic settings

[gilded oriole]

In fact, I tried this, but you can't see anything I can't even read what's written on the screen

[pseudo widget]

What kind of GPU you got?

[uncut trellis]

delete your arma profile to reset settings

or move it away for backup

[sleek karma]

when i load into the game it still makes my cursor weird so i cant click on anything

[clear forum]

how do we delete

these things

like i want to separately delete one of them

[steady inlet]

WHAT IS THIS?!?!?!

Please someone help. I cannot find the answer anywhere.

[void yew]

I cant load my game, and it gives me an error

any ideas?

[pine kite]

I'm guessing that is a action of Battleye, blocking loading of some Nvidia driver DLL.

[void yew]

yeah but I dont know what to do to get it to work

[pine kite]

Well, try and disable Battleye to rule it out. You won't be able to join servers that require it. But you can atleast try and play the game.

[void yew]

It says its a driver

and I dont want to delete it if its going to cause a problem

[pine kite]

yeah, I would not delete that. But first check if the same happens with disabled Battleye. There is a tab in the launcher for that.

[void yew]

I want to join servers though.

[pine kite]

Then you will have to find non-Battleye protected servers for the time being.

At the least it is for testing if this is actually the cause.

[void yew]

yeah, the game launched

[pine kite]

Then you got to report this error message, and maybe this detail of the file to Battleye so they can find out why it is blocked and update their program.

[void yew]

how so

[pine kite]

You want it fixed, right?

[void yew]

yeah

how to a send the report?

[pine kite]

They have a website. And while there is #arma_battleye , I don't think the developers of Battleye go there. The Battleye developers need to know that their program is blocking a probably legit GPU driver.

I mean you can try and update your drivers first too. Maybe Battleye will accept it then.

But that date seems recent enough.

[void yew]

hmhm

[umbral narwhal]

Assuming that it is a legit GPU driver :P

[void yew]

idk is it?

@pine kite i restarted my PC and it worked?

[crimson iris]

me and my friend are trying to start up servers for us 2 to play on, but when we start them, they don't show up. we both have port forwarded our routers. we have it on internet, we have the same mods and everything. I can't figure out the problem. if you have a solution or could help us please add me so i can add you to a call. thanks

[balmy merlin]

Then theres no issue until it happens again

[shell nacelle]

https://pastebin.com/RBTag3RY No Mods
https://pastebin.com/8ReV0wmr Mods
I encounter the same issue on each where It hangs on the loading screen before main menu.

[wind ember]

A few people in our group can no longer join our server on the profile they've been using for months/years. However, upon creating a new profile it will let them join. This hasn't occurred to normal issues like mod changes or server adjustments, since we rarely change them. Even old missions that we have all played before cause the issue.
Anyone else had a similar issue to this?

[golden nova]

well I had, but only with the default profile that is created when you open Arma 3 for the first time. Once I made my custom one it's all good.

Some ppl from my unit reported that issue too, this may be something to do with Steam caching files and not doing it well.

[wind ember]

Okay i'll get them to take a look, although some have had issues with new profiles now so could be a deeper issue.

Thanks!

[fringe salmon]

why are they stopping

the road is clear

they can literally drive in

How do I fix this?

[crimson reef]

Hey guys could really use some help here been trying to start an arma 3 server running the antistasi cam Lao nam mode I can get the server up and running for myself but my friends can’t seem to either find it or if they do they get stuck in a loading screen. Can someone help me figure out what I’m doing wrong

[umbral narwhal]

Localhost or dedicated?

[crimson reef]

Local host

Over internet

[umbral narwhal]

!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”

[umbral narwhal]

Figuring out what's wrong with anyone else's port forwarding setup is a lot of work.

[scarlet cedar]

I can't not join my server once i ask it to start with mods but without i work just fine how do i fix this problem i have Copy my Mods From the Client to the server and tell it to boot with the mods but it just say it's missing a (Signature mismatch) when it's start

[cyan abyss]

on a server running ACE, how would i automatically make everyone spawn with earplugs?

[pine kite]

You probably have verification enabled on the server. But neglected to put the key-files of the mods in the keys folsder of the server. Or the keys that are already there for that mod do not match with the mods you copied.

[scarlet cedar]

Thanks it works now 🙂

[main bison]

My arma always has a problem everytime I open it up and my keyboard just never works on it anymore

[pine kite]

"has a problem every time I open it up"
Make sure you verify your install through Steam. But otherwise you need to better define what you experience as problems. It's pretty vague.

"my keyboard just never works" Could it be you are using a key-combination that makes Windows choose to switch to a different input language/keyboard layout? Windows settings/Devices/Typing/Advance Keyboard settings/Input language hot keys/Change Key Sequence button

[brittle condor]

I am unable to join my friends server, let alone any other servers. I have tried restarting arma, downloading arma, it can get past my firewall, and I have checked the integrity of the game files with steam. I just keep getting "connecting failed" every time I try to join my friends server. It was working fine on Friday. I don't understand why it has suddenly stopped working.

[verbal sentinel]

@brittle condor Do you have a VPN?

[shell nacelle]

Is anyone able to assist on my issue cause I've tried a good bit of stuff

[verbal sentinel]

@shell nacelle I've been reading it over for a while now. The only thing that stands out to me is this error: 2:48:10 Canceling the list loading process, the load of the file failed: C:\Users\Blaine\AppData\Local\Arma 3\MonetizedServersCache\list.json

[brittle condor]

I have 2

[verbal sentinel]

Try turning them off and then connecting. My vpn tends to mess with me when I load into servers

[brittle condor]

There both off

[shell nacelle]

Do you think deleting /list.json and reverifying may help?

[verbal sentinel]

I'm not 100% sure as I haven't seen that error in a long time. I would try deleting it and reverifying just to be sure. If the server is already hanging, deleting it wont make things any worse.

[shell nacelle]

Of course thanks in advance in if works!

[shrewd tapir]

I am Blue's friend. What would prevent a clean install from connecting to servers (even official "vanilla" servers like KOTH) via instantly displaying "Connecting Failed"? He does not have VPNs enabled, his ping is within threshold, and he has all required DLCs/addons enabled.

[brittle condor]

My original message: #arma3_troubleshooting message

[verbal sentinel]

@shrewd tapir Does the server display any message while he is joining?

in the bottom left area.

[shrewd tapir]

Nothing on the console/in-game

Watching his screen, the message pops up the moment he clicks on connect to server. If he connects via launcher, same thing. The game boots and immediately fails to connect before anything registers on the server console

[verbal sentinel]

Are you both running the same version of the game? IE DEV or STABLE branch?

[shrewd tapir]

He is on stable

Server should be on stable.

How I've set up my server via TADST

No one else from our community is having this issue.

[verbal sentinel]

He isn't having any port issues correct?

[shrewd tapir]

None as far as I know.

[verbal sentinel]

Do you have an IPv4? Are you behind an unusually strict firewall?

[shrewd tapir]

He said that nothing on his end changed it was only 2-3 hours apart from able to connect to not being able to connect to anything

Again, it isn't server-side, it's client-side since he can't even connect to official servers.

[verbal sentinel]

That's what's leading me to believe it has to be something with the ISP or router.

Does the server have battleeye enabled?

[shrewd tapir]

It doesn't.

[verbal sentinel]

Tried with both the official launcher and the A3 launcher?

[shrewd tapir]

Official launcher?

[verbal sentinel]

The launcher you get when you launch the game via steam

Verses the modded launcher.

[shrewd tapir]

What is the other one that doesn't looked like this?

[verbal sentinel]

That is the default launcher

This is the modded launcher

[shrewd tapir]

Oh wow, haven't seen A3 Launcher in forever.

Nope, the standard one.

Think using A3 Launcher might help?

I just installed it to try to help Blue with figuring it out and my anti-virus blocked adware from A3 Launcher 😢

[restive zephyr]

how do you let players talk to you in zeus?

[shrewd tapir]

In text or voice?

[restive zephyr]

both, im zuesing right now and need to ask the players questions

[shrewd tapir]

Global chat should work.

[restive zephyr]

theyre not able to communicate in text or voice

us02w is the server im in rn and its not working to my knowledge

[weak girder]

how do i paste text into the activation box on a trigger

[steady hawk]

Ctrl+V

[weak girder]

yeah i tried multiple times it wont work

[steady hawk]

Then your clipboard have no text

[weak girder]

i copied the script to my clipboard and it still wont paste into the on activation box on the trigger

[steady hawk]

Make sure you copied properly

[weak girder]

i highlighted the script pressed copy

[steady hawk]

Try to paste outside Arma

[weak girder]

yeah it pastes but when i go into arma the bar freezes for 1 second then doesnt paste

[steady hawk]

Try without Mods

[weak girder]

ok

its still not working

this is the script im trying to use

onEachFrame {
{
_x setPosASL ((getPosASLVisual plane1) vectorAdd [(_forEachIndex+1) * 30,(_forEachIndex+1) * 30,0]) ;
_x setVectorDirAndUp [vectorDir plane1,vectorUp plane1] ;
_x setVelocity velocity plane1 ;
} forEach [plane2,plane3,plane4] ;
} ;

its an old wingman script

[steady hawk]

Where actually trying to paste into?

[wind olive]

it has never been like this

i swear

same with shooting sounds if they are behind me they are quiet af @steady hawk

[weak girder]

this is where im pasting it

pressing CTRL+V

i give up

[steady hawk]

Did you tried to verify the game?

[wind olive]

should i do that ?

[steady hawk]

Yes

[wind olive]

k doing it rn

[wind olive]

checked it , i try it again now

its still there @steady hawk

can it be because of the os?

[wind olive]

@steady hawk

sry for ping but it kills me

[uncut trellis]

Do you have some sort of 3d sound system or headset?

[hoary jetty]

Any mods loaded?

Might be an issue or something with the way that it handles directional sound, like what horriblegoat is suggesting, maybe your headphones for example

[steady hawk]

I don't think a Mod can do such feature. Unless it does have some extensions, which is most unlikely since it is recorded on a KoTH server

USB Headset might be the issue, too

[uncut trellis]

surround sound systems dont work with arma so anything like that could be breaking it

[barren eagle]

Why I have had trouble launching Arma. Havent played in a while. This is the case: Whenever I try to start arma it goos to a black screen and then straight quits. The game runs on the background I can see that because of the tab on the bottom on the screen. If I try to click on the game it shows the home screen of arma like a second and then goos to my desktop

Can someone please help me, if you know what the problem is please pin me

[uncut trellis]

first try verify your game files on steam, then make sure your drivers are up to date

then make sure you start the game without any mods

if all that still gets you crash, check if the rpt log file has any information whats happening

!rpt

[rustic eagle]

Arma RPT

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

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

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

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

[round elm]

can anyone tell me why my game keeps crashing?

0xC0000005 - ACCESS_VIOLATION

please @ me

[uncut trellis]

check access violation wiki page for common reasons for the 000005

[round elm]

they are telling me a bunch of stuff that im no expert in. i updated my drivers and trying again

it just keep fucking crashing. i have no idea why!!

[uncut trellis]

usually its one of the things listed there

other than that, no idea

[round elm]

memory allocator? like what am i reading?

[barren eagle]

Tried to start with "forced windows mode" and it worked normally but when I tried to get it into fullscreen it went black again and brought me to my desktop

[uncut trellis]

try updating your gpu drivers

[uncut trellis]

you are reading about the possible problems related to the error you are getting

there is no simple answer that would solve it

[steady hawk]

Also as HG and wiki said STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION is really a common error message there's no one and only way to solve. If you really want to solve it you need to tell us what was the Mods, missions, situations... or whatever

[round elm]

im trying to join the NAK server

and i only have enhanced movements

when i halo jump and when im about to hit the ground it crashes

im going a steam validate now but idk if that will help

il also restart my PC but there should be nothing that would be messing with my PC

[uncut trellis]

make sure you join servers through launcher server browser so you actually have correct mods to join

[round elm]

i do

[uncut trellis]

and try other servers. could be some problem with the server too

[round elm]

il try

yep crashed again on a diffrent server. even faster this time

[uncut trellis]

check the rpt log

and if you are using usb headset it could be a sound related issue

check pinned messages for that

[round elm]

im useing a bluetooth

would that mess it up??

[uncut trellis]

is it on usb dongle

[round elm]

yeah

[uncut trellis]

then its usb device

[round elm]

oh okay

[uncut trellis]

so yes

[round elm]

il see if that fizes it

okay i did the things (ithink)

nope dident work

[uncut trellis]

you can test if the usb sound is the problem by unplugging the device

[round elm]

im trying with no headphones

[uncut trellis]

unplug the dongle too

[round elm]

i did midlaunch il try again if it doent work

[uncut trellis]

arma does not like swapping audio devices while its running

[round elm]

seems to workign so far!

[brisk talon]

can somebody help me?

[steady hawk]

STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION is really a common error code, it tells you literally nothing. You need to tell us more info, Mods, Missions, Servers(Single/Multi) and, most importantly, do you use USB headset?

[brisk talon]

Nop, jack ones

i play on a multiplayer sv, i don't know if I can say the name and it's attached to steam's workshop mods

[oblique hazel]

Alright, i have tried setting up a server with TADST but i end up stuck in an infinite loading screen when trying to connect, any suggestions?

[pine kite]

More info. Post the RPT log file. What, if any, mods did you try to use. Does it also happen when you don't try to load a mod, but just basic vanilla Arma 3 multiplayer mission?

We can't rely on mind-reading.

[quaint jewel]

all crashes are inside memory allocator.
Try setting allocator to "system" in Arma launcher parameters

[atomic vortex]

i nned some help when i try to press play on a scenario it does nothing

[pine kite]

It probably does something. If it doesn't maybe your mouse button is bad.

[brisk talon]

Any idea?

[uncut trellis]

once you give more details about the mods you use then perhaps. otherwise look up what was answered here #arma3_troubleshooting message

[supple crescent]

Hey, does anyone know how to resolve an issue entailing this error? "Cannot open object a3_dgr_scopes\reticles\dagger_4x_thermal.p3d"? I've been trying to make a mission for this unit I'm a part of, and this error keeps showing up.

I'm sure it's a mod issue due to this error coming from the mod files.

[tardy trench]

Guys the ATOC things - the white pixels where they should be transparent - with the Radeon drivers has popped up again for me any ideas what to do or which driver version fixed / fixes this?

[pine kite]

The solution then was to disable ATOC in the graphics settings.

[uncut trellis]

disable mod that is broken pretty much

nothing you can really do if mod is broken except notify its maker and hope it gets fixed

[barren eagle]

Why I have had trouble launching Arma. Havent played in a while. This is the case: Whenever I try to start arma it goos to a black screen and then straight quits. The game runs on the background I can see that because of the tab on the bottom on the screen. If I try to click on the game it shows the home screen of arma like a second and then goos to my desktop

The problem doesnt show if I "force window mode"

[exotic sable]

Verified integrity of game files yet?

[barren eagle]

yes

didnt solve

[uncut trellis]

try deleting your old profile. perhpas some broken settings have been saved into it

make a backup just in case

[tardy trench]

Right that's what I am doing atm. I know it had been fixed a while ago, so I was hoping to roll back to that driver version .

[pine kite]

I'm an Nvidia guy now, so can't help with that. I would guess that all/both GPU manufacturers keep old versions available somewhere.

[fringe salmon]

Ah ok. Will do. Thanks!

[fringe salmon]

Trying to mess around with some screenshots, any idea how to remove that orange backdrop?

It's there when I change the focus, but it doesn't want to focus..

[steady hawk]

It's an Artwork Supporter feature. Click other slider than that

[open obsidian]

when i try to join my dedicated server on the mission(new mission) it will come up with an error saying cannot open file of the missions name ive used mutiple methods of getting the PBO file and im kinda stuck at what to do

[steady hawk]

What EXACTLY is the error message?

[open obsidian]

let me see

launching the server now

[steady hawk]

And what 2729879341. is?

[open obsidian]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2729879341&searchtext=hearts+and+minds should be this

i was told to take the id in the url and find the workshop file that corisponds to that

[steady hawk]

Don't redistribute file that you don't own.

[open obsidian]

ok sorry

[steady hawk]

I don't know how a Dedicated server works but a mission's pbo name should be in this format: missionName.islandName.pbo

[open obsidian]

ok

do you know where i can find scenarios from the work shop

[steady hawk]

...from Workshop?

[open obsidian]

the arma3 workshop

[steady hawk]

I don't know what your question is

[open obsidian]

do you know what the file location of scenarios downloaded from the workshop

[steady hawk]

By default
C:\Users\*your username*\Documents\Arma 3\Saved\steam or
C:\Users\*your username*\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\*your Arma 3 username*\Saved\steam IIRC

[open obsidian]

also do you no a way to have admin in a non dedicated server

[steady hawk]

Define server.cfg location in command line and just #login

[pine kite]

Subscribed mission also end up in my 'Steamlibrary\userdata\yourSteamID\ugc\referenced\someLongNumberFolder' . Only when you started and saved in it does it end up in Documents\Arma 3 (-Other Profiles\username )\Saved\steam

In a local hosted server (meaning from within the game) you ARE the admin. No need to login with password. You just use the debug screen, or stop the mission through the regular user interface.

[fringe salmon]

How do you mean?

[steady hawk]

Slider. Bottom right

[jaunty narwhal]

How do I improve my viewing ddistance on alaptop

[pine kite]

Generally speaking you let the game autodetect your graphics settings. Then play with rendering distance to get to see far enough as you need tactically and what is beneficial to your FPS. Viewing distance may be limited by the server if you were trying to join that.

[marble marsh]

Hello,

I'm having some issues with my dedicated server, I'm trying a new Antistasi on Takistan, I put the pbo in the missions folder on my server and followed the steps on Gunter Serverloh's channel, but for some reason it's still not working. I uploaded CUP Terrains Core and Maps for Takistan but they won't load, is there a procedure I'm missing?

[umbral narwhal]

Well, you would certainly need CUP terrains to load...

[marble marsh]

I know, but I don't know why they won't ahaha

[umbral narwhal]

wrong command line usually.

[marble marsh]

Oh nvm it works now?

The hell?

thanks tho

[pine kite]

Always start with a basic installation, make sure that works. Then consider adding mods.

[stone oyster]

hello just got the game off steam and it wil not launch

i hit play in the arma launcher and nothing happens

[steady hawk]

Any errors?

[stone oyster]

no it says its installing addons and all that but then never launches the game

[steady hawk]

Vanilla game?

Also did you installed your Arma 3 into an HDD?

[stone oyster]

i got it off steam

no errors

when i launch it it says not responding

[steady hawk]

You mean the Arma 3 logo and progress bar screen right?

Hey, how can I start a server for me to play with a friend?

[uncut trellis]

!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”

[uncut trellis]

you may need to do this, but starting a local hosted game is from launchers server tab and host button at the right bottom

[humble heart]

just wanted to ask if this is a problem with my arma or a mod and how do i fix it

[steady hawk]

!steamverify

[rustic eagle]

ty it worked

turns out i actually had 11 gb of missing files

bruh

[static creek]

does anyone know why, whenever i try to join a server it says "Battleye Restart Required"?

[steady hawk]

Next time please don't post your question all around the place. The answer is: You need to enable BattlEye through the Launcher

[halcyon adder]

Has anyone encountered this issue in multiplayer? There's constant log spam about the following, repeated for a number of different CUP items and their information being empty. This makes sense that this CUP information is not being found, as CUP is not in the modpack.

However, what causes these CUP items attempting to be accessed? These errors are on both client and server rpts. Could this error spam happen if one player loads CUP and uses CUP gear, or is something else causing it?

13:04:19 Warning Message: No entry '.picture'.
etc etc```

This error appears fairly consistently in the logs, but at certain points it seems to freeze the server for ~30 seconds, including non-arma applications like Teamspeak and Remote Desktop.

^ I've seen similar momentary errors when people access ace arsenal loadouts from previous modpacks with different mods, but never to this degree

[umbral narwhal]

The .picture is the little 2d picture of the weapon used in the arsenal and some other UI stuff. I'm not sure why the server would ever care about it.

Not enforcing common item mods across server/client seems like a terrible idea in general though.

[late herald]

hi i want to host on internet, for my friend to join and it says that he cant join

Have your friend load only the same mods as you AND that the server uses a terrain that both of you have access to

If anyone can help me with this, my modpack got DCMA'd and now I get this when I try to reupload it

[uncut trellis]

dont use crap that gets dmcad

support the original makers

not thieves

oh wait its you whos doing the reuploading

just dont

you dont have permission to reupload mods

use workshop colletions

[shadow raptor]

I have private mods that dont have USP, and some guy from USP DCMA'd it

[uncut trellis]

they aint private if they are on workshop

[shadow raptor]

Gatekeep, and Hyun are all private mods

[uncut trellis]

if they are publicly shared they are not private

[twin crest]

anyon know what this is?

[uncut trellis]

one of the mods you are using is missing another mod it requires

[twin crest]

the mods that are loaded dont even contain that file thats on the pic

[umbral narwhal]

Are you loading any mods at all?

[manic dirge]

can anyone help with arma 3 anti stasi. Petros died and i got killed just after the relocate HQ screen and now i cant relocate the HQ?

[uncut trellis]

you are loading it. otherwise it would not pop up

if you have installed mod manually you might have put it in the arma 3\addons folder which is reserved for the games own pbos only

[twin crest]

yes

[uncut trellis]

:C

that is big no no

I recommend sticking to workshop mods

[twin crest]

ok

[umbral narwhal]

@manic dirge You mean you don't have the relocate HQ screen anymore?

[manic dirge]

none at all

literally staring and petros body

[umbral narwhal]

If it's a dedicated server, disconnect and reconnect.

If it's community version, save and reload.

[manic dirge]

its a hamachi hosting

[umbral narwhal]

If it's localhost and original Antistasi then you may be in some trouble :P

[manic dirge]

dont say that

can i do a reload of the last persistent save

[umbral narwhal]

Sure. If you don't have autosave then you'll lose progress but that's it.

If you do have autosave then it'll probably just work.

[manic dirge]

well i have the hourly save going but that doesnt do anything

would the local saves be in the Steamapps

[umbral narwhal]

It saves to the Arma profile.

[username].vars.arma3profile, if you want to make a backup.

You can also try just running [] spawn A3A_fnc_placementSelection as local. Should pop up the placement map.

[manic dirge]

thank you

[manic dirge]

what i ended up doing is aborting into the parameters menu and then initiated the last server save it had on record which luckily didnt overwrite it. thank god the autosave didnt overwrite it

[umbral narwhal]

It wouldn't necessarily have been that bad if it did save.

There is a limit to how much state it saves :P

Hence save/reload is often a good way to fix stuff.

[fringe salmon]

For some reason whenever I try to save scenarios my game crashes

[hushed pond]

Anyone know why Arma reports ~131 TiB of available virtual memory in logs?

[uncut trellis]

swap disk

[hushed pond]

I assure you the server has nowhere close to that amount of storage, in any form

well server or client, shows in both rpt

[umbral narwhal]

It'll just be using an OS function. Not like it's actually counting your storage itself.

Because you can allocate memory that isn't backed by anything (uncommitted), OSes may set arbitrarily large limits.

[fringe salmon]

i need help

im trying to import .p3d

into blender

and it says this

i got armatoolbox and everything

its just when i try import the .p3d file it dont work

[steady hawk]

You cannot import binarized p3d

[fringe salmon]

can u elaborate

[steady hawk]

There're two types of p3d. Binarized and unbinarized. Most of existed p3ds are binarized, which cannot be edited

[fringe salmon]

how do i check if its Binarized or unbinarized

[steady hawk]

You cannot import binarized p3d
In the other words if it can't be imported it is binarized

[fringe salmon]

but like

how do i check if i can import it or not

and is their i way i can make it unbinarized

[steady hawk]

You cannot make a binarized p3d unbinarized

[fringe salmon]

so how do people import

arma 3 models

into blender

[steady hawk]

More like they just make Arma 3 models in Blender

[fossil rain]

Hey guys, a friend of mine has problems in ArmA3 with weapon scopes and screens in vehicles or binoculars. Scopes dont show markings, Screens dont show range or any other information and binoculars dont have any overlay same as scopes not showing any information just zooming in.

[pine kite]

Support-by-proxy is not really effective. Have your friend report here with screenshots and a list of mods he uses. Relaying that stuff is slow and prone to misunderstanding.

[fossil rain]

This is normally a 2d scope not showing any markings

and this is a binocular not having any overlay.

Okay, it seems we have just figured it out by comparing Game Settings, all his ACE User Interface Settings where turned off.

[compact fox]

Has anyone problems with exit to desktop on RX 6600 after few minutes of play (a specially when many elements start to work on screen)? I try it without addons on clean game and with many parameters due to memory and CPU usage but still the same effect - other games work without problems only ARMA3 crash

[native drum]

so ive been having an issue with a respawn point in a mission file i been working on , i thought i did every thing right with the respective multiplayer modules and such but it just keeps respawning me at the point of death. any ideas

[umbral narwhal]

What model is your SSD?

[bronze river]

is the target hot?

[pine kite]

Color of image. Is it white hot or black hot? It's cyrillic so impossible for me to tell that.

If the vehicle is not hot, it will not lock on. Still hard to tell what is hot and what is cold in this.

Ok, then top image is black hot, bottom image is white hot. But in top image wheels are hotter than vehicle body, so it probably has had it's engine turned of for a while. So it is cooler.

You will have to scare it so it turns on engine and moves away.

Or use some other way to guide it.

[uncut trellis]

They don't. Arma 3 models or models from mods can't be edited. Models are made from scratch

[bronze river]

it will take a short while for it to get hot for vanilla vehicles, not sure if your target isn't vanilla vehicle.

try using the radar lock by pressing R

[fringe salmon]

Anyone having this issue?
https://www.reddit.com/r/armadev/comments/384pmo/blur_on_respawn/

also found a post here saying the same thing

I am still having this issue its quite strange

[primal aspen]

Anyone know what causes these messages in an RPT or how to prevent them? Whenever we get these, it causes severe lag spikes that last for several minutes for some reason. https://imgur.com/a/keshNvn

I assume it has something to do with players timing out 2022/04/10, 16:22:33 Slow network for player name='EArnold', ID=2094788975, steamID=76561198054028582. DisconnectTimeout too high (17/90000 ms) but they don't seem to disconnect? It just sits there spamming it for several minutes and everyone feels the lag/desync - not just the guy timing out.

[static creek]

Does anyone know why my Arma keeps crashing when i join servers. somtimes i can play for a while without crashing, but other times it crashes before i load in

[fringe salmon]

This is usually caused by mod incompatibilities, bad mission files on the server, or underperforming hardware causing the game to hang for too long on loading. At least, that's what causes my crashes (Status Access Violation) and it can happen at any time.

[static creek]

Do you know how to fix it?

Im playing on a laptop, but the graphics card and cpu are pretty good

Intel I7 and RTX 2070

[fringe salmon]

You kinda can't.

[static creek]

so its just a hardware problem

[fringe salmon]

Also, with Arma 3, newer hardware doesn't necessarily mean better

[static creek]

would more storage help?

[fringe salmon]

I've not crashed once of my i5-4690k. I've crashed about 17 times since I upgraded to an i5-6600k

[static creek]

huh

[fringe salmon]

Probably not. You can always bring the issue to the attention of the server owner but if it is an issue with the mission file they might not even fix it

Arma seems to prefer older hardware (around the 4th generation for processors) for some ungodly reason. It's a pretty badly optimised game engine.

[static creek]

k thanks

[fringe salmon]

I wish there was more I could do

You can try installing arma 3 to an SSD to hopefully bring down loading times, which might help a little, but it didn't help much for me other than make booting the game back up again less tedious after a crash

[static creek]

I do just have one more question though

I just realized that last night and this morning, i was playing just fine, it was only until about around this time that i cant even join any server or singleplayer game without crashing.

[echo ginkgo]

why am I not able to see my statistics after playing a scenario?

[steady hawk]

What do you expect? Is that picture relevant to your question?

[echo ginkgo]

well I was hoping it would show me my statistics but nothing shows, the sc is just to show what I saw

[steady hawk]

That's the thing we call statistics. What kind of things you wish?

[burnt imp]

On your screenshot, there is a column that is labeled Statistics. It shows a list of what you killed. If you just want numbers and pictures, then click the arrow on the bottom right of the panel, just above CONTINUE

[jovial wraith]

Is there a way to change the measurements to of speed and height to knots and feet as I hate meters as that’s not what we use over here in the uk really takes the immersion away when your constantly having to do calculations in altitude

issue: AI does not want to follow me but will listen to the "move there" order. When separated in more groups and told to regroup, they will group up on the second person in team or anybody that was not selected.

Sometimes happens randomly, sometimes happens when using Team Switch, basically they no longer listen to the squad leader but will follow the 2ic. I remember this being a thing back in Arma 2 and OA, so I guess this is an unsolvable bug?

hey

my arma 3 is not saving missions

If I exit and save in a mission and want to play it later the save just does not exist

any fixes?

[vocal sequoia]

So, i'm trying to figure out why the AI is sometimes absolutely atrocious with using launchers - switching constantly between rifle and launcher when targeting a vehicle, etc.
Current theory is that without the player keeping constant eyes on the target, the AI loses it immediately

[cinder tulip]

Heyo, i've look for some time now but cant find any info on this other than it being patched in 2016. For some reason today my game drops from an avarage of 90-120 to 15-25 after around 45-60 minutes into playing. Multiple missions, mods, no mods, always the same.

[late tapir]

i have that happen too actually. except mine drops to like 7-15

sometimes it fixes itself, sometimes i have to restart the mission

[vapid moon]

hey guys, whenever I use steam link and try to make missions in editor, if I move my camera, it goes crazy. almost like the sensitivity is big, but it works fine if I do it locally so idk. any fix?

[umbral narwhal]

@void fjord Make sure you shut down Arma the slow way, not alt-F4

[crude walrus]

Why wont my scenario show up when im hosting a server?

Ive subscribed to it and it still wont show up

[umbral narwhal]

Did Steam finish installing it before you started Arma?

[crude walrus]

Restarted arma multiple times

[burnt imp]

Looks like you isolated the problem to be a connection related problem. I would go check a forum focused on the Steam Link to see someone else who hadls had the problem

[vapid moon]

I've seen two threads about the same problem, no solution tho

[burnt imp]

Double check the terrain the scenario is on. Then choose that terrain when hosting, then pick the scenario.

[crude walrus]

Bro ive selected the correct map

[burnt imp]

Check it the problem is only for one or some scenarios. If you can load up other scenarios from the workshop, then the problem is the non-working scenarios themselves.

[fringe salmon]

alright so i have a problem, after around 20 minutes of playing on a given server my network adapter just fails. this doesn't happen with any other game i play and it doesn't happen when im browsing the web. the troubleshooter wont even launch when this happens and ive tried to keep control panel open so i can trouble shoot it but when the troubleshooter launches it gets stuck on detecting problems until the arma 3 server kicks me out and my adapter magically works again all advice is valued as i actually dont know what to do from here

[umbral narwhal]

Change network driver or get another network adapter, I guess.

[fringe salmon]

is there not any other way ?

[umbral narwhal]

Arma is just bog-standard UDP spam. If it's breaking your network driver/firmware then that's bugged.

[fringe salmon]

alright thanks for the info

[umbral narwhal]

If you're not sure that it's actually the adapter breaking then try disabling any 3rd-party firewalls.

[fringe salmon]

when i say my adapter breaks i basically mean that it loses all connections and dosent even show the local wifi hell when i try to open the wifi connection tab it looks like i dont even have a wifi adapter connected

[umbral narwhal]

yeah ok, that's fairly strong evidence :P

[shell yarrow]

Hey now it’s saying this

And when I try to play with mods this happens

[umbral narwhal]

If it's still doing that after a verify then you'll probably need to reinstall.

When you do, make sure it's completely finished before you try running Arma.

[shell yarrow]

Ok

[shell yarrow]

It worked thank you so much man

[gusty sentinel]

i need someone who knows arma server. i have it mostly set up im just having some addon issues

[umbral narwhal]

Provide your command line, non-working server RPT and a description of the problem and someone will probably figure it out.

[gusty sentinel]

no clue what that mens

means

[golden nova]

!rpt

[rustic eagle]

Arma RPT

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

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

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

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

[golden nova]

you should look for same files on your server, it's content should tell you what is wrong with your addons.

and command line is the bat file or anything where you declare addons you load

[pine kite]

And if you can't find the file, make sure the server is run without the -noLogs parameter. THen recreate the problem so it gets logged in the RPT file.

[gusty sentinel]

so i know the addon that are fucked i just have no idea on how to fix thi shit

if anyone can get on a vc rq to help that would be great if not thats fine also

[golden nova]

if an addon is broken then ask its creator to fix it

[gusty sentinel]

its not the addon itself i just dont know how to explain it. shits weird this my first time starting a server

[pine kite]

Start without mods, make sure you know and can run a vanilla MP mission first.

[tawdry atlas]

im trying to join my friends server but the server just doesnt show up

does anybody have a fix for this

[umbral narwhal]

Is this a local hosted server?

[tawdry atlas]

yea it is

[umbral narwhal]

Get him to tick the UPNP box and sacrifice a chicken

!localhost

[tawdry atlas]

yea he did that

we both tried it

still not working

[uncut trellis]

!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”

[uncut trellis]

portforwarding is likely needed

[tawdry atlas]

it worked before but now it doesnt

but ill try that

[pine kite]

Meaning: address the chicken sacrifice chant to the login page of the router.

[umbral narwhal]

Nothing happened in Arma. Port forwarding can break because your internal IP changed, because your ISP decided not to give you a proper IP anymore, because your shitty 3rd-party firewall decided to kill things, because your router firmware was updated, because your router ran out of some internal resources and needs a reboot...

[tawdry atlas]

i think its prob because i changed my router

[umbral narwhal]

That would definitely do it, yes.

[tawdry atlas]

ight thanks for the help

[pine kite]

Or a VPN reroutes your traffic elsewhere.

But yeah, different router, no port forwarding anymore.

[bronze veldt]

Guys, I am having trouble getting a decent FPS, and I know my rig is good enough. When playing Warlords, I can only seem to get 30 FPS on standard graphics. When I play other servers I can SOMETIMES get 50-60 What I find odd is that according to task manager, the game will not use my entire GPU, and neither my CPU/RAM is maxed out by other programs or the game. I can play modern games in high graphics modes, not too sure why I can't have that here.😦

My specs are:
Intel i7-4770k
16gb 2133 ram
Seperate SDD for games (less than 1 year old)
GTX 1070ti msi 6gb

[late tapir]

which one of ya'll gonna tell him

[turbid relic]

Oh boi.

[late tapir]

my hardware is about 5 years newer than yours and i rarely get more than 40fps

it is what it is what is arma what it is

[turbid relic]

This is ARMA 3 for ya. Its intended to run on older machines and are CPU intensive. You can easily get good FPS in single player but dont think of having high FPS in multiplayer with people + ai + mods running.

[bronze veldt]

My processor was made in 2013 xD. These are hard individual hitting cores and HT w/ 8 logical. Are you saying not may people can get amazing fps when people + ai + mods are running?

[late tapir]

nobody runs the game at 60fps+

[turbid relic]

Define 'Amazing' ?

[late tapir]

even people who spend like $10k on a PC barely able to hit 60

[bronze veldt]

I'm not picky, 60 is all I want

[late tapir]

dslyecxi's videos used to be 30fps up until a few months ago when he upgraded to a new pc lol

[turbid relic]

Single player? Definitely. Multiplayer? Good luck!

[bronze veldt]

Okay thanks for the answers. I bought this game recently. As long as I know nothings wrong with my stuff I am cool w/ it. & yep multiplayer, Warlords

that's the antistasi mod

Battleye blocking windows files, Causing Arma to just crash or hang. How should I approach this?

[pine kite]

Contact Battleye through their website. Tell them they need to fix their stuff by providing details. Figuring out which windows file it is would be the start.

[hidden urchin]

Is it a battleye thing and not with my side? Chances it'll be fixed if there is an update to battleye or through time?

[pine kite]

Don't know, post a screenshot of the error. I have no idea when battleye updates/fixes are implemented. Probably happens automatically through Steam or Arma updating.

Someone had a similar error which involved his GPU driver from Nvidia. He fixed it through reinstalling that iirc.

[hidden urchin]

Oh ok

[bronze river]

what is this arma for mobile?

[pine kite]

Arma -10 (EGA graphics edition)

Did this happen to only Arma 3? Or also your OS or other games?

If the former, I would copy/paste your profile files (username.arma3profile and username.vars.arma3profile in 'Documents/Arma 3' or 'Documents/Arma 3 - Other Profiles') to get different names as backups of them. Then remove the originals. Could be that the GPU settings got corrupted. Arma 3 will make new ones. See if that normalizes that.

[brave jay]

Is there a setting to make it smaller

it can be anything. If you don't get this error when placing vanilla planes then some mod is broken probably

[toxic agate]

Oh

I will check that

[golden nova]

I mean "status access violation" can be a result of 100s of possible bugs so it's hard to tell, but assuming you run mods it might be one of them that is either bugged or has issues with other mods you run

[toxic agate]

Ok thx for the possible answer

[golden nova]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_process_exit#0xC0000005_-_ACCESS_VIOLATION here's more about the error code

[toxic agate]

Oh fix it

Thx

[vapid whale]

does anyone know why this is happening?

https://imgur.com/egQUfWh

ive got the mods i want to rename in the /mnt/ folder but when i run the command listed on bohemias wiki that is what happens

[burnt imp]

If you don't get any answers here, try #server_linux

[agile ibex]

hola

my

arma 3 keeps crashing upon start up

status access violation

whenever i play without mods it opens up completely fine, however when ever my friend boots up the mods he can get into it.

i have the RPT file if anyone wants it.

[turbid relic]

send

[umbral narwhal]

ok, that's a lot of mods

Have you considered only loading what you need :P

[agile ibex]

its 81 mods

[brave jay]

How to change my interface to this

[steady hawk]

Not sure what you mean. You want to make the interface smaller?

[brave jay]

Yes

[steady hawk]

Then video settings > Interface size

[brave jay]

When I change the interface size it become like this

[steady hawk]

Did you restart the game?

[brave jay]

Ya

Multiple times

[steady hawk]

Can you elaborate what is going on in that last picture? Isn't that normal for a video settings?

[brave jay]

I change the aspect ratio to 4:3

[steady hawk]

What display mode you use?

[brave jay]

I use full screen. Resolution 1600x900(16:9) interface small

[steady hawk]

Did you ever changed the UI layout?

[brave jay]

How do I change that?

[steady hawk]

Sounds like you didn't. Game Options > Layout tho

[brave jay]

Oh ok. All this problem happen after my launcher crash and the setting change by itself

[steady hawk]

It's solved or not?

[brave jay]

No

Can I have a recommended resolution

[steady hawk]

Why?

[brave jay]

Because I cannot find the right resolution for my computer

[steady hawk]

Why? If you know what your screen is, you can just search it

Or just search “how to check resolution”

[brave jay]

Ok thank a lot

[boreal wraith]

Not sure where to ask (here or Antistasi discord) but I'm having issues with aircraft crewmen and passengers emerging from shot down aircraft unscathed. Is this an issue with Antistasi or a base game issue? Dedicated server with ACE and a couple movement/rappelling/towing mods
Has anyone else experienced this?

[quaint jewel]

If you have a .mdmp, please send it to me (in .zip archive)
Unless you already fixed it by not loading mods

[uncut trellis]

It is a mod issue. Which mod is hard to say though.

[agile rampart]

i'm trying to free up some space on my ssd, but when i unsubscribe from arma mods, it says they're removed but the files aren't deleted

[patent kettle]

That's just Steam being steam, it should remove it eventually.

If you need the space now I've written a simple utility app for that issue exactly: https://github.com/veteran29/workshop_cleaner

[agile rampart]

i've been waiting since last night, i dunno bro

[umbral narwhal]

@boreal wraith Normal for ACE.

[boreal wraith]

That's what I was afraid of, probably something to do with the bleed out/incapacitated feature.

[pine kite]

How about settng the aspect ratio back to 16:9. 4:3 obviously gave you a much narrower field of view.

[agile rampart]

wtf is wrong with steam, it still doesn't delete my mods

@patent kettle thanks btw

[patent kettle]

the app works? good.

[late tapir]

maybe your steam is installed in a folder where you need elevated rights

like c:\program files (x86)

[umbral narwhal]

@agile rampart You did restart Steam, right? That usually gives it a kick.

[agile rampart]

i restarted my whole damn computer

[tardy wraith]

hey guys, anyone here experienced with setting up KOTH servers?

having issues getting my "rules" section to display anything other than the default

[earnest flint]

Can I get some assistance with server hosting.

When I try to host server via unpn it just tells the folks joining that the server is not responding

I've tried checking the ports to see if they are open and they are.

I've also checked my firewall and it allows arma 3 to work

And I was able to host before but not now

I've been tryin to get this to work for a few days now and ive just run our of ideas

[umbral narwhal]

1. Check that your router's WAN IP is actually the same as your external IP.
2. Check that you're forwarding the ports to the correct internal IP.
3. Try turning off your firewall entirely.

I've seen setups that looked correct and simply didn't work though. I suspect routers just update themselves with new bugs.

There's no way to diagnose why a port forwarding setup isn't working. All you can do is set it up correctly and hope.

[earnest flint]

Well shit

I'll try

[umbral narwhal]

Note that you either use UPNP or port forwarding, not both

[earnest flint]

Ahh fuck

U

Ice been just using upnp

[umbral narwhal]

UPNP should be as simple as enabling it on your router.

but if you port forward then that may break it.

[burnt dirge]

loading into a scene from the editor was fine for me, but one day the loading screen started getting stuck at 90% and taking 15-20 seconds longer than usual

has this happened to anybody else

would there be any info about this in the rpt file? i have logging disabled

[umbral narwhal]

Not if you have logging disabled, no.

Probably won't be anyway, but worth a shot.

[earnest flint]

update on this

So it says the upnp works just fine and that it loads up and all but when my friends try to join it shows them this

i have no idea what theissue is

[uncut trellis]

may need to use portforwarding instead?

[earnest flint]

ive tried that

[pine kite]

Who says upnp is working?

[earnest flint]

it doesnt come up with an error when it goes through

so im assuming the upnp is working

[pine kite]

Well, I don't trust that upnp in any way. I have better experience with manually setting it up in the router.

[earnest flint]

so

tried port forwarding again

the server opens with the ports

but

my friends still cant join

it still does the whole server not responding thing

i have the ports open

[uncut trellis]

have you opened the steam gaming ports

[umbral narwhal]

@earnest flint Did you check any of the three things I said?

[earnest flint]

yes

[earnest flint]

yes

ive tried restarting my router

i can join other folks servers to they just cant join mine

[umbral narwhal]

If you checked everything I listed and your settings are all correct then either your router is bugged or your ISP is blocking incoming connections.

[earnest flint]

if its blocking incoming connections how do i fix that

[umbral narwhal]

You can't.

[earnest flint]

FUCK

this basically ends my group campaign

fuck

[umbral narwhal]

Double-check everything though. It's more likely that you made a mistake somewhere.

[uncut trellis]

also might be worth trying restarting computer just in case.

[earnest flint]

restarting what

[uncut trellis]

👆 edited

[earnest flint]

i did this

[uncut trellis]

in case you have not done so inbetwee

aight

[umbral narwhal]

You could maybe send your vars file elsewhere to continue your campaign.

Which ISP is this btw?

[earnest flint]

cableamerica

[uncut trellis]

make sure any extra firewalls are not blocking the incoming connections either

[earnest flint]

i think

[earnest flint]

i turned off every firewall

[uncut trellis]

last time I did portforwarding on my machine I had to open the steam ports, the Arma ports and then make sure firewall let through the hosting

[earnest flint]

its so weird

because 1 day it worked

next it didnt

i got no fucking clue why this is happening

[pine kite]

If you can't get it working with your home connection. Then you could try to get all your friends on Hamachi or some equivalent VPN-like solution. Or spend the bucks to rent a server on the internet.

[wild comet]

hey guys I got the old classic Exit code: 0xC0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION

Can anyone help me lol

[steady hawk]

No. STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION is a "generic error" and nothing else. You have to tell what is the situations

[near hollow]

Anyone know the fix for the Launcher not deleting presets? I delete them but the files remain in the preset folder and when i restart launcher the preset that i deleted is still there

[uncut trellis]

you got onedrive in use?

[near hollow]

Dont think so ill check

Nope dont have it installed

[vapid whale]

anyone know why this is happening?

[half yarrow]

Hey, so Im running an antistasi server, but Im trying to turn persistence off

Only trouble is, when I set it to off and restart the server, it doesnt show up on the server list anymore

Ive got no idea why, so any help would be much appreciated

[vestal sundial]

Hi, I'm trying to make a scenario on the Livonia map. I can't get more than 30 FPS in certain areas. Even in the eden editor where cpu shouldn't be an issue. I already tried setting graphics to way below what my card can handle. The game's automatic settings are way higher than what I play with. I even disabled certain graphical features like anti-aliasing entirely but I can't get above 30FPS

[umbral narwhal]

Normal. Livonia is a performance disaster for some reason.

[vestal sundial]

I can literally max everything out and get 20 FPS with full viewrange and then put everything back to low settings and get 30...

[umbral narwhal]

Do you have any AIs spawned or is it just you?

[vestal sundial]

I'm in the editor so that shouldn't be the problem.

I have some things placed down but within my viewrange is only my character and three vehicles

I actually hid more map assets than I placed down other things so far 😄

[lavish plank]

When I try and load client addon settings my ArmA stops responding, and restarting arma then resets every addon and addon control setting.
Is there a way to revert it?

[near zodiac]

so i have an issue with a buddys of mines game he can launch the game via the local files WITHOUT the launcher and it will open however if he tries to open it via the launcher or hitting the play button on steam it crashes instantly

[rancid kite]

I'm having an issue with getting into third person view

I have reassigned the key but it's not working in editor mode or my exile server

[umbral narwhal]

Might be restricted by difficulty settings. Veteran disables third person.

[rancid kite]

it shows 3rd person view in enabled

in difficulty settings

I found that one of my mods are causing third person to stop working, does anyone know what mod would cause this?
https://gyazo.com/7cf1e9b0dd2d029f49cd08eb84c9fdbc

also found out that it was exile

[pine kite]

Server profile can override difficulty settings, among which the ability to view 3rd person.

[left star]

yo anyone can help me out? I uninstalled IFA3 and some other mods to free up my disk space but for some reason it doesn't do anything. Launcher shows me its uninstalled and same thing in the mods folders but it didn't free anything, there's still 20gb+ of content as if the mods were still there.

I uninstalled it from the launcher btw

[left star]

nvm I had to re-subscribe and unsub from workshop

[pine kite]

Find the mod ID number from the link shown in the Steam workshop page. There is a folder somewhere deep inside the Steam library with the same name. Remove that or it's contents. If you did not unsubscribe from it then Steam will re-download the files. For me it is in somewhere like: C:\Steam_library\steamapps\workshop\content\107410\thatModIdNumber

There are programs that analyze the folderstructure and count up how many space it takes. Like TreeSize or WinDirStat. It might help to narrow down the largest folders.

[jaunty crescent]

Anyone know what this might be?

comes up in eden editor when I play them ission

may I specify, happens with a addons called gcam

[pine kite]

A scripting error. Bad mod or mission. Tell the creator he needs to fix it.

[gusty sentinel]

yo still havving addon issues on my dedicated server

anyone smart knw how dedicated servers work?

[burnt dirge]

does anybody know why loading screens get stuck at 90% for like 20 seconds when loading into a scenario

[tribal kiln]

does anyone have zeus enhanced?

i have a problem of not being able to select anything

and even add editable objects and stuff

i can click the type and faction selection on the top but not at the bottom with the units

[umbral narwhal]

Looking at your modlist, the surprise is that anything works at all.

[tribal kiln]

pls help

[uncut trellis]

start by using only zeus enhanced and see if that work

then add mods in small numbers to see what breaks it

@tribal kiln

there is no other solution

[tribal kiln]

itll take a while but you got it

Many people in here do. But we are not psychic. As much as I think I am sometimes. 😉

If you didn't understand what I meant. We don't know what your problem is. Explain it. We can't probe your mind. Guessing usually also does not work. Post your details about the problem.

Also, if it is server related, there is also #server_admins and channels for Linux and Windows, which ever that applies to your server.

[tribal kiln]

I FUCKING FOUND IT

its by the automedic mod

which people say has game breaking code

[oak hamlet]

need help with my custom difficulty not working on the server

[pine kite]

My psychic sense is telling me that you are placing that in the server config right next to the mission cycle. Which would be the wrong file. It needs to be in the userprofilename.arma3profile file.

[oak hamlet]

afrim thank you Valen

[pine kite]

Hah, psychic senses do work. But not always. 🙂

[oak hamlet]

@pine kite

which one?

[umbral narwhal]

First one. .vars.arma3profile is not user editable.

[oak hamlet]

i keep getting this dumbass error when i select my mission, it has every mod on the server from the modpack, no client side visual mods etc

[vapid whale]

how do i upload my own mission to my arma 3 server

ive looked in my mpmissions folder where it saved on the disk and there is no .pbo file

it is just mission.sqm

[verbal meadow]

I've been getting multiple errors, this is my first time starting up Arma 3, I gives me an error that says "A3_3DEN"

I had also got an error from the battleye service.

And 'a3\anims_f_epa\data\anim\sdr\cts\hubcleaned\wounded\hubwoundedprone_idle1.rtm'.

[uncut trellis]

it probably did not install right. try verifying the game files on stema

[umbral narwhal]

@vapid whale Dedicated servers will only run missions packed into a PBO.

[vapid whale]

i know

ive figure it out now

[sour kite]

Anyone know how to restart server on warlords Redux #11 is not allowing anyonr to fast travel

[fathom raven]

Problem: Being admin and typing in #missions (to change map and set parameters) results in "session lost" every single time on public servers.
How to fix this?

[umbral narwhal]

Are you a voted admin or a real one?

[fathom raven]

Yes voted.

[umbral narwhal]

Might just be blocked in server config then.

Voted admins can have restricted permissions.

[fathom raven]

its all public zeus servers...

[umbral narwhal]

They probably all copy each other's config.

[fathom raven]

So Zeus is unplayable for me currently?...

[fathom raven]

Why...? This would stop public servers working at all.

[umbral narwhal]

Can't you just use the map that's running?

[fathom raven]

The parameters are the problem.

You cant build in a verry large radius of the players, bleedout time is too short, etc.

[sweet spruce]

Hi so ive got a friend whos trying to make custom composistions for an op hes running however he cant place down any of the compositions that are his. he can place down workshop subbed compo's but any that he makes dont want to work?

[fathom raven]

*Was finally told a solution, when one goes into the lobby and not into the game #missions doesnt result in "session lost".
Still would be nice to have a fix for that problem, lots of zeus i spoke with didnt knew a solution and just stopped playing the game. I try to tell them about said solution.

[maiden grove]

anyone know why my performance is tanking?

where as all my friends with weaker rigs can get around 60 to 80 fps i only got 15 to 30

I used to get high frame rates as well

but now idk what happened but its just not getting above like 26

[exotic sable]

@maiden grove could be any number of reasons. If you have something else running at the same time, only you can sort that out. Checked on Task Manager?

[maiden grove]

nah nothing out of the ordinary, it seems to be just arma as well that this happens to

[exotic sable]

Is your monitor plugged into your GPU or motherboard? Cos I did that once :D

[maiden grove]

gpu

i do run triple monitors, but its never been an issue before

[exotic sable]

Specs? What have you got?

[maiden grove]

i7-7700k / 2060 special edition / 4tb SSD / 32gigs of ram

cpu isnt the best for this day and age but still i used to get good frames on arma :/

[exotic sable]

Yeah, it should def be doing better and you said it used to.

When did performance get poor, was it a gradual change or sudden?

[maiden grove]

sudden from what i recall

im at a loss here, ive tweaked settings as much as i can

reinstalled as well

nothing

[exotic sable]

After an Arma update, or a change in mods? Have you tried how Arma runs without mods? Something might be out of date and broken.

[maiden grove]

without mods the issue maintains

cant recall if it happened after anything specific

[vapid whale]

How would I go about setting up alive war room on a rented server

The Alive wiki says I need to put the alive.cfg file into a directory but I don’t have root access to the server since it’s rented

[umbral narwhal]

which directory? Most server providers will let you upload to the Arma folder upwards.

[uncut trellis]

check if you have any heavy gpu enhancement features on

[remote bay]

has anyone ever had the issue where your arma server just shuts off, no crash or anything. Running off a contabo VPS

using tadst

[maiden grove]

any idea where i could check that good sir?

[pearl sorrel]

1. follow their wiki, its pretty simple.
2. Join their discord.

[pearl sorrel]

Are you throttling yourself? Having video settings at too low can have the same if not worse effects as hving them too high.

[terse lava]

how do you map configs for PS5 Remote

[pine kite]

I don't know what is special about a PS5 Remote thingy. But in the keybind configs you usually just press the keyboard key, joystick switch or mouse button which you want to bind and it is detected.

But you'll probably need a lot more key than that controller can offer. Make sure you have a keyboard near you connected.

[terse lava]

everytime i shoot it unloads my clip though

[pine kite]

Does it do some kind of autofire? Depending on the fire mode of the weapon if may be automatic instead of single shot. Usually you change that with the F key.

[terse lava]

yea but it doesn't let me release the trigger

[pine kite]

I think others have asked about it in the past too. So maybe you find something by using the search function.

[terse lava]

and how/can you set up motion controls for leaning or cant you

why can't steam and Arma just make a legitimate config

[pine kite]

Q an E for temporary. Ctrl Q and Q for holding it.

It is a legitimate keyboard layout config: #general_chat_arma message

Arma 3 isn't played on Playstation, so it isn't really the logical controler for it.

[terse lava]

is there avideo on how to map controls to PS5 or will it work on steam controller?

[pine kite]

Search for it! I don't know. I don't have one.

[thorn grove]

You want to play Arma with a controller? Have fun aiming my dude.

I'm not sure about the DS5 controller, but when I was still using my DS4 and DS3, I needed an extra piece of software to make windows recognize it as an Xbox controller.

PlayStation controllers aren't recognized properly on windows.

[uncut trellis]

Arma is not very controller friendly game. Some people say they have had some success with it but have not ever seen any guides about it

[bronze river]

for run and gun maybe, but for tactical gameplay or commanding squad or even utilizing tactical movement that would be a pain.

[late tapir]

playstation controllers are recognized natively on windows now through Steam

since 2018 i think

im pretty sure some people use controllers for driving/flying for some odd reason, but i cant imagine playing infantry with it, aiming at a pixel 400 meters away lol

[thorn grove]

I found steam recognition of DS4 as hit and miss. Some games would work, others would still require the ds4windows software.

But idk about the ds5. I don't own any consoles anymore.

I love the Master Race

[late tapir]

never had issues with controllers on PC apart from From Soft games (sekiro, darksouls 2)

they have spaghetti code for controller recognition

[raven lintel]

Anyone know how to change my default profile name? I've renamed my account & deleted all the files and reinstalled arma but its still using the old name

Default is set to AaronH & I want to use AaronH as the name for my other profile with all my settings

[golden nova]

you can't rename default profile, you have to create a new one. You could transfer the settings from the old one to new but I can't help with that.

[raven lintel]

I'm aware but surely there has to be a way to "regenerate" the default profile

as like I said I have no clue where its getting the name its using from

[golden nova]

it's named after the default user on your PC.

[pine kite]

It is taken from the name of your Operating system account name. You can't change that. Make a secondary profile if you don't like the name.

[raven lintel]

My problem is its using the name I want my secondary profile to be 😭

[pine kite]

Choose a different name. Twice the same won't work.

And if you renamed your OS user account then that was just the display name. It doesn't change the actual user profile folder name.

You can however make a new user account on your computer with different name than AaronH. But transfering those data isn't so easy.

[raven lintel]

Fixed it

got my default profile renamed

Win + R Search "lusrmgr.msc"

Inside there you can rename the old name, delete the profile restart you PC and load up arma and it changes

[pine kite]

In my experience it doesn't change the userprofile name 'under the hood' in Windows. Just shows a different name. So network logins get confusing.

[raven lintel]

Well if it causes me problems I'll just rename it back but its fixed my issue for now haa

[pine kite]

Sure, if you are happy with it now and it works for what you need, go with it.

[round sinew]

So. Simply i downloaded arma after a long time. I tried to revive my flying skills but 80% of my downloaded factions were missing although i had them loaded. Then i noticed a mod that was loaded when in launcher it shows that it is not loaded.

[steady hawk]

What exactly you didn't load and what exactly it loads?

[round sinew]

https://get-a-free-gf.com/iLXYu0jO

[pseudo widget]

Did you press Play in Singleplayer or Play in Multiplayer? Sometimes factions don’t work in Singleplayer you have to play in Multiplayer

[round sinew]

I know thats the thing. When i was leaving for a job the factions were showing in zeus.

[steady hawk]

What exactly the picture supposed to tell?

[round sinew]

This is the mod that loads

But i have it disabled

but still it loads into the game and shows in zeus.

[steady hawk]

Did you ever moved any pbo file from A to B?

[round sinew]

nope

i dont have a clue how

im just a download and play guy

[steady hawk]

Sounds like you did

[round sinew]

And is there a way how to revert it?

[steady hawk]

Remove the wrong pbo

[pine kite]

Can the mod he downloaded be so messed up by itself that it puts the pbo in the wrong folder in the hierarchy?

[steady hawk]

Never heard of

[round sinew]

I downloaded pretty known mods that are updated a lot

like ace,cup,nlarms

cba etc.

[steady hawk]

IDK what TTS Beam Laser is but you probably have it in any addons folder in root Arma 3 folder, which is always loaded folder?

[pine kite]

That screenshot shows a very selective part of the screen. It doesn't rule out that the mod is still selected in the launcher and loading when Arma 3 is started. Show the entire screen.

[round sinew]

i launched arma

[steady hawk]

That's not the entire Mods

[round sinew]

i know but
