[uncut trellis]

is it in MP or SP

[vale cargo]

total ram usage is %50, total cpu using %36

[vale cargo]

both of them

[uncut trellis]

are there a lot of mods loaded

[vale cargo]

nope

[uncut trellis]

any?

does it happen with no mods?

[bronze river]

lower ur view range to 4000 overall, or try restarting ur machine.

[vale cargo]

yes

[vale cargo]

my view range is 1600

and already tried to restarting my machine

[bronze river]

windows update in the background can also affect your system

[brave imp]

So, I asked about this error on the alive discord. Gonna ask it here also so that I can possibly get extra help I guess? So, what's this error?

[uncut trellis]

some script is trying to find a thing that does not exist.

[brave imp]

Oh

[brave imp]

I got an another error, but didn't get an answer for it yet on alive. Loading screen stuck

[uncut trellis]

these seem to be all Alive related issues

maybe you have downloaded a broken mission

[brave imp]

Actually, I am making my own mission to spectate france vs china

Here's the scenario I made in case you want to see what is causing problems, also shared it on the alive discord (Also my mod list)

[brave imp]

Ok, so that map needs reindexing

[uncut trellis]

either you are running mods wrong or server is

to join servers you must have same modset enabled as what the server is using/allows

I recommend using the Launcher to join servers as it can setup mods for you before startup

[runic ivy]

my friends cant join my private sever it keeps saying sever not responding

[gaunt hound]

anyone having having issues with UPnP?

[craggy tapir]

Anyone know about this exit code: 0xc0000409-status_stack_buffer_overrun

[neat mantle]

been having this issue for months, reinstalled the mod several times.

happens with CBA as well, so i'm fucked if i want to play mods

happens on any server that allows these mods

[quaint jewel]

You are missing that pbo/mod, the server wants you to run it

[uncut trellis]

Do you join through launchers server browser so it can set up mods for you?

[elder adder]

Hey so I can't open Zeus? I've got the module placed down correctly in the MP mission but whenever I load in it won't even let me ping Zeus with y. I go to the ACE arsenal and just open and close it and then I can ping Zeus but not open it. I've also tried the same thing with admin privleges and it just won't work. Any ideas?

If I respawn as well I need to open ACE arsenal again before I can start pinging again

I also have Zeus Enhanced loaded if that helps

[short pecan]

I enjoy immersion as much as the next person, but whenever im underwater all of my audio cuts out, including outside of Arma

[jolly tiger]

when i die i get the prompt to finish death but instead it lets me walk around and stuff and i can still shoot and stuff and if i take damage i would still be ok but enemy's are not attacking me in that state

[frozen oak]

How do you make a server to play with two people? Whenever I try to direct connect it redirects me to the server list page. Any help works, prefer if someone could DM me answers or help. Thanks! :)

[umbral narwhal]

Multiplayer, host, tick UPNP and internet and cross your fingers.

Alternatively don't tick UPNP and set up port forwarding, although if you're not used to that then you have little chance of success.

[mental river]

Sounds like a bug in whatever revive script you're using

[jolly tiger]

Not using anything

Well maybe it’s ace idk

[burnt imp]

Try this video: https://youtu.be/rjX9hBrOaOM

[burnt imp]

Try one of the three methods from this video. One of them should work so long you follow the rules mentioned in the video:

https://youtu.be/rjX9hBrOaOM

[mental river]

What mission do you play then?

[jolly tiger]

It’s dynamic recon ops

[coarse hedge]

Hi, just today I began receiving this error, any help please?

[umbral narwhal]

how much RAM do you have?

[coarse hedge]

16

[light orbit]

So yeah I have no mods installed and every time I alt-tab my brightness acts like it turned up to 110% and was flashbanged....any ideas?

[umbral narwhal]

Does it go back down again?

[light orbit]

after about 5-20 seconds

happens with and without mods on all maps

happens to all my players with mods installed as well so idkl

[umbral narwhal]

Antistasi on CamLaoNam has a specific script that does this, but I'm not sure how it'd happen more generally. The HDR adjustment should be much faster.

[light orbit]

Thats the issue tho, it happens on altis and all other maps with antistasi as well so idk

Also...any reason why that script is there? If i may ask?

[umbral narwhal]

It's because the VN CDLC lacks night vision and we needed it to be playable at night without it. Apparently alt-tabbing causes getLighting to return bogus values for a while.

It should be attached to the modset rather than the map really, but that doesn't explain your problem.

[light orbit]

Any temp fixes?

[umbral narwhal]

It won't be running on anything except CamLaoNam.

Like it literally does this:

_darkMaps = ["cam_lao_nam"];
if !(toLower worldName in _darkMaps) exitWith {};

I guess it's possible that you're running an even more broken version of Antistasi than Community? :P

[light orbit]

shrug

Is there a way to temporarily turn it off? We don't really do night ops unless we have a whole group as its not as fun for us

[umbral narwhal]

You don't seem to be listening. If it happens on Altis then it's something else.

Maybe some other mod you're running that does something similar.

[light orbit]

The other maps issue i can fix by going down my list

Im just needing a fix for cam lao as we are changing mod sets after this map anyways

[umbral narwhal]

But if you have a general problem then I can't fix that.

If we assume that you described the problem incorrectly, and it doesn't exist on any map except CamLaoNam (maybe Khe Sanh too in Plus), the fix would be running this as local:
A3A_darkMapFixRunning = false;

[neat mantle]

@uncut trellis launcher

@quaint jewel reinstalled both mods several times

[mental river]

That explains it. The bug is in that mission's revive scripts

[spiral ermine]

How can i turn my VON on it says it still disabled

[pine kite]

Are you playing on an official server? VON is or was disabled (not sure if they re-enabled it already) on official servers by Bohemia for obscure reasons. On other 3rd party servers it should work if the server admin didn't disable it. If that is not it, then maybe you have Windows privacy settings disable the use of your microphone to Arma 3.

[bronze river]

VON is working in official server, at least on some Zeus and Warlord servers i played.

[dim quarry]

I have an issue with CBA A3

I tried reinstalling 3 times

[uncut trellis]

your arma isntall is broken

verfity Arma on steam

!steamverify

[rustic eagle]

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

[steady hawk]

Shh 👀

[mental river]

can you post the 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.

[uncut trellis]

you got some mod that makes it like that

youll need to figure out what your mods add to the game

[mental river]

that's probably due to ACE

[uncut trellis]

Shhh

people dont learn if you give all the answers xD

😝

[mental river]

it's just one

[umbral narwhal]

I believe it's under "ACE Nightvision" :P

[mental river]

ACE Nightvision

[uncut trellis]

🎣 / 🐟

[spiral ermine]

Others are able to speak but not me

[pine kite]

Then it might be related to your audio gear, as USB/bluetooth connected stuff can have problems with getting disconnected. check the pinned messages.

Or mic privacy permissions in Windows as I wrote before. My paranoia tricked me with discord once.

[spiral ermine]

Its not that it all worked before with no issues

only started happening when this VON thing was

[pine kite]

"when this VON thing was ...." what? That is not a comprehensible sentence.

[spiral ermine]

added

[pine kite]

I still don't understand what event you speak of. But does it really matter? Are you using USB/bluetooth connected audio? Have you tried analog input/output? Have you checked mic privacy settings? Test the state of things now.

[limpid grotto]

Have you tried turning it off and turning it back on again?

[fringe salmon]

Where can i turn off Bullet tracing

[lime sphinx]

as in after running https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_traceBullets? [player, 0] spawn BIS_fnc_traceBullets; // remove bullet tracing

[fringe salmon]

Where should i put the code in

?

[lime sphinx]

well, then two steps backwards. How have you got bullet tracing on?

[fringe salmon]

Yeah but idk how to turn it of

[lime sphinx]

how? What have you done to have it on?

[fringe salmon]

I just starded the game and then i had bullet tracing

[lime sphinx]

have you tried restarting the game?

[fringe salmon]

Yeah like 2 times

[grizzled zealot]

Guys who will tell you how to fix it does not show the detachment from below

[umbral narwhal]

It's called the command bar. If you're squad leader and it's not visible, you're running a mod that's turned it off, like ACE.

[modest talon]

Is it possible to have a dedicated server ignore any errors? My server is trying to open a p3d file that simply doesnt exist, thus not making it possible for me to start the mission. It constantly switches between the lobby screen and the loading screen in a rough 3 second interval, while constantly spamming the error in the chat. I cant even select any playable character. Anyone know something to fix it?

Never had this issue before and no other mods were added

[quaint jewel]

yeah, you can turn on server.cfg option to ignore mission load errors

[modest talon]

how would I do that

havent really had any luck finding stuff like that on the internet

been trying to fix this issue since yesterday

[quaint jewel]

google

"Arma 3 server.cfg"

and then look for advanced options

[modest talon]

I'll have a look

[modest talon]

sorry but I cant really find anything about ignoring mission load errors. Could you send me a link if you have one?

got max 1 hour to fix the issue

[modest talon]

Oh, that. My bad

appreciate it though

Thank fuck that worked. Thanks for the help

[quaint jewel]

fuck is my second name tips hat

[cold yacht]

my linux using friend is trying to use task force radio/teamspeak with arma 3 but his pc is only allowing him to have one or the other open

if he has arma 3 running teamspeak wont open and if teamspeak is open arma 3 wont open

[quaint jewel]

Please move question to #linux_mac_branch, the people who know the answer are in there
Linux is still a bit specialist 😄

[cold yacht]

o ok

we're also having an issue where the server my friend is hosting from his pc isnt working now

we think its an issue with his new router maybe?

[remote vigil]

what is this?

[snow dome]

I've got an issue with server FPS tanking (down from 250 to 40), unsure why. No mission scripts & very few AI (less than 30) . Trying to troubleshoot what could be causing it

Using diag_log (diag_fps) to see the server FPS

diag_log (diag_activeSQFScripts) shows nothing that I wouldn't expect, nothing aggressive in terms of scripts

Any suggestions for troubleshooting? It seems to happen at random for us. Not running anything fancy in terms of mods except for the usual CBA, ACE, CUP

[cold yacht]

we fixed it

[umbral narwhal]

@snow dome Does it stay low or just blip down?

[snow dome]

Stays low

[tribal pebble]

Hey guys, I was just looking some modding information up on google (on my phone) and encountered this when trying to access the BI forums

I don’t even have an account on the forums. Has anyone else experienced this?

Huh, restarting my phone fixed it. Assigned a banned IP maybe?

[quaint jewel]

Yes Forum does IP bans

[unique frigate]

Is anyone here able to help me with my audio issues? I've tried to ask help many times before here but never got any answers.

My game audio is getting distorted with my headset. It has a USB controller so I tried to plug my headset in to the 3.5mm plug and the audio sounds normal then, but with the USB controller it gets distorted and weird. I've tried re-installing the drivers and resetting the audio profiles in Razer Synapse but it ain't helping either.

[unique frigate]

nvm arma just doesn't like 24 bit audio

[fringe salmon]

I've got abit of an issue , i whenever i join a multiplayer server , this happens

I've reset my game

like

5 times already

[fiery oyster]

Restarted Steam?

[fringe salmon]

i'll try that now rq

[fringe salmon]

didnt work

[raven dust]

why can me and my friends not make servers anymore?

[quaint jewel]

battleye enabled in arma launcher?

[fringe salmon]

im sure it is , but i'll dobule check

well

apprently its off

for whatever reason

i've switched it back on

[burnt imp]

Try this video:
https://youtu.be/rjX9hBrOaOM

[frozen oak]

Awesome video, thanks. I’ll try these out.

[raven dust]

ill check it out, cant watch it rn tho. but basically hosting a server used to work without flaw and now for some reason it never shows up for anyone else, i tried going through hamachi and other shit and it would never show up for anyone

and same for other ppls servers

just dont show up

[fringe salmon]

hey guys uhh

something is wrong with my action menu

like

only a reload option appears

but

i cant detonate IEDs

nothing

[burnt imp]

If you have ACE mod installed, then you have to use the ACE interaction menu

[steady lark]

my arma 3 audio has not worked for the last past 4 months

any help?

i tried to verify my files didnt work

[steady hawk]

Which audio device you use?

[brave imp]

What does this error mean?

[quaint jewel]

That the weapon that you just tried to use, doesn't actually exist

[brave imp]

Oh, so the AMF french faction is bugged?

Then what do I use as blufor faction to fight the indepedent faction?

[umbral mango]

chickens

[quaint jewel]

There are many bugged things in AMF yes.
You could just replace the weapon of the unit you placed, with a weapon that works, via Arsenal

[brave imp]

Hey, so my arma 3 game has became a black screen, what do I do?

I cannot get off from it

I'm unable to close arma 3 and I'm in windowed fullscreen mode

[mental river]

during launch?

[brave imp]

Well, it happened when I entered Zeus mode in alive after I alt tabbed, but when I entered zeus mode in ALIVE... The game froze

[mental river]

try ctrl+shift+Esc

[brave imp]

I also tried alt f4, still nothing

[brave imp]

Can't access it

[mental river]

why?

[brave imp]

It requires me to alt tab

[mental river]

you should always set your task manager to be on top...

if you can't just restart your PC

[brave imp]

How do I even do that????

[mental river]

it has an option

[brave imp]

Where?

[obtuse plume]

Does anyone know how to fix the bug for Arma 3 when launching the game a message displays saying "the cloud file is not running" thank you in advance!

[mental river]

....
it literally has an options menu...

[brave imp]

Look, this is the first time I notice it

Anyway, I rebooted the computer

[brave imp]

Seriously, I never ever saw that option menu before.

Like, do you just expect everybody to be familiar with the entirity of how a computer works?

[steady hawk]

What about Ctrl+Alt+Del then?

[stiff geyser]

guys i still need help on how to get SSPCM on contact

[native spire]

Alt+esc otherwise your game crash. Also don't try to alt+esc your game while in a loading ;)

[golden nova]

 1:32:21 Bad texture format in GetPixel``` any suggestions where this might be coming from? I mean should I look for bugs in terrains or does this refer to some model asset?

[uncut trellis]

context? what you do when this happens?

[golden nova]

uhh I wanted to make some screenshots on Cherno 2.0 and upon loading, the game just crashes leaving a rpt file spammed with these two lines. I didn't see any memory leak or any weird behaviour of my hardware

[uncut trellis]

Id guess model issue is more likely if you had started building the scene

[wary talon]

I need help with some graphics problems and resolution also, for some reason my Arma 3 graphics want to get all blurry and low resolution for no reason.

[wary talon]

MY Graphics took a shit

And so did my resolution

[burnt imp]

What are you video settings?

[wary talon]

Give me one sec

[brave imp]

Hey, can anybody check this mission I made? I feel like it has some problems since ALIVE wont load in it, I did send it to the alive discord, but its been hours with no answers

[brave imp]

Hey, so my game is stuck in the editor loading altis

What error is this?

What about this error?

[uncut trellis]

some mod has problems

[brave imp]

Yeah, plus I notice ALIVE isn't even loading in

[brave imp]

Just tried that with my new frozen screen... Nothing at all

At least now I can make it stop with task manager

What does this error mean?

[uncut trellis]

if it freezes when you alt tab you need set video settings to run in borderless windows

[brave imp]

No, it freezes when entering zeus mode

And I'm already in borderless windows

[uncut trellis]

ah

then you just got something broken in your mission

[brave imp]

Like what?

[uncut trellis]

totally absolutely no idea

anything

something

or everything

Im not really a mission maker

[brave imp]

You could check what I got wrong if you want

[uncut trellis]

nope

not my jam

what Id suggest is shelving the mission and starting new one

where you add things one by one

[brave imp]

Oh, ok. Still gotta find somebody to fix the problem

[uncut trellis]

and test where it starts to break

[uncut trellis]

that one who can fix it unfortunately is the person between your screen and chair

[brave imp]

The oxygen?

[brave imp]

Sorry, but I already tried to fix it, the only thing I fixed was ALIVE not loading, I didn't find any way to fix the zeus stuff yet.

[uncut trellis]

you might want to split it into parts

make mission where you successfully setup zeus

then mission where alive works

then try combine them

or not combine those actual missions

but the features

[brave imp]

Look, I'm using zeus to basically spectate.

Its a singleplayer only thing that I wanted to do. Though I guess I did set the number of units to spawn at like 800 vs 800. Though there is the virtualization stuff that helps with the lag?

[uncut trellis]

wut

u crazy?

and no matter how "simple" you think your concept is, it likely isnt

so you will have to put it together slowly and learn how the parts work

there is no skipping that

and you definitely dont start testing with that kind of numbers

[brave imp]

I mean, a basic scenario in ALIVE seems kind of simple to do? http://alivemod.com/wiki/index.php/Quickstart

I would enjoy if there were like multiple conventional vs conventional faction scenarios I could do in ALIVE on the workshop, but workshop search function sucks, and I only found insurgency stuff.

[uncut trellis]

google should be able to search steam workshop too

[brave imp]

That still does not give good results for ALIVE scenarios. I tried

Ok. I now set it at 200 vs 200, works better. Activated zeus, still froze, but I can now tab out

Though I cannot tab into arma anymore

[uncut trellis]

start with less

work your way up to where your computer can still run it

[brave imp]

The thing is, it can run it

Its just... Zeus constantly freezes no matter what unit number

Like, it says no response on task manager

And I get high cpu usage

Like, with arma, it ended up at 100% cpu usage

Like, I used to be able to activate zeus quite easily even with those ai numbers of circa 200 vs circa 200

[wary talon]

This has been stuck on my launcher now since I reinstalled arma3, I have restarted my PC and even shut it down, and I even let it finish updating, yet it hasn't gone away for a couple hours now, what do I do?

[brave imp]

So, what do I do now that I posted the rpt file?

[uncut trellis]

you waity

people here are nearly all community members just like you. People usually answer if they see question and know answer.

they do have to be awake/not working/in school etc to do that tho

[quaint jewel]

Are you launching Arma with -debug parameter?
I was once asked to add more debug info to that message, not sure if I did it.

[golden nova]

No I am not, but I'll do that now and see if it adds some more context to this. Does this expand the size limit of generated RPT? I've seen it being sometimes cut when the error number was too big

[quaint jewel]

No, RPT has a line length limit, but no file size limit

[golden nova]

and this?
Error: Async RPT Logger exceeded max queue size, there is too much logging going on, something must be wrong. is the queue size hardcoded?

[quaint jewel]

oof

the maximum is

The max is 16k, what the hell is going on there 😄

But if that gets hit, the message is simply directly written to RPT, causing performance issue (as it was before I made it async) and being out-of-order with the other async messages.
But no data loss

[tulip solstice]

any tips on dealing with that error?

[sage garnet]

why is my rhs bm-21 minimum range so high, i've seen the minimum range be 1000 in some people's videos but for me it's 5000

[golden nova]

reinstall CBA

[tulip solstice]

thanks

[mental river]

load CBA

[tulip solstice]

it is loaded

[mental river]

nvm it was answered...

[tulip solstice]

i tried validating cache, but it did not work

[mental river]

maybe it depends on the weapon/ammo?

[sage garnet]

nah it's always like that

[mental river]

did you repair the mod?

[sage garnet]

nvm it was changed in some version that's why the minimum range is 5km

[tulip solstice]

and now everything i placed and every mission condition i set up is gone Oo

[quaint jewel]

You removed mods that you previously had enabled, you probably want to keep the mods that you're trying to use

[tulip solstice]

why is the mission weather or modules gone, though?

[quaint jewel]

is it really?

[tulip solstice]

yes, it was night time and i had a lot of hide terrain modules set up

[quaint jewel]

Can you send screenshot after loading it?

[tulip solstice]

now im back to CBA error, even though i resubscribed to CBA

must be one of the CBA-dependent mods?

is that a critical issue that would break a mission?

[quaint jewel]

cba settings init missing, would break several mods

not sure if thats whats going on

maybe its just one specific mod that uses CBA incorrectly

if you start arma with -debug parameter and look into RPT it will tell you which mod specifically causes that

[tulip solstice]

how do i do that?

[quaint jewel]

Arma Launcher, Parameters

find "debug"

[tulip solstice]

Done, what do i look for in RPT?

[snow epoch]

Hello guys, I have such a problem, we have started our server and we have such a problem that when 12-15 people come to the server it kicks everyone out and I can't understand why. I have several versions 1) These scripts somewhere are not working properly 2) Poor hosting. But I'm not sure if you could suggest a problem

This is vanilla, there are only a few mods that change the sound and look of the map, there is a mod CUP Weapon

Also, you can edit your post, like this

[tulip solstice]

already did, i just removed the superflous one

[steady hawk]

Unlike remove/repost, editing is smarter way. Either way this is going to ot... let's focus on the issue

[tulip solstice]

Got the context, any tips on identifying the issue?

[quaint jewel]

oof.
That functions is called by CBA itself

so CBA itself is broken

Maybe you have multiple versions of CBA loaded in your mods

[tulip solstice]

It calls for lines 12, 0 and 52 like 15 times, repeating that block of errors

let me see

would posting a mod preset help?

[quaint jewel]

you could just post your RPT here

just drag&drop into here

[tulip solstice]

Here is RPT from a clear session and a mod preset. If it helps, the issue is recent

[quaint jewel]

Your CBA is current, and intact

Don't know further, next idea is divide and conquer, remove half mods and find the mod that causes this

[tulip solstice]

Odd thing is that the error only appears in this mission, not when i load Eden

[honest tusk]

How do I fix this?

[pine kite]

Verify that his file is actually in your userconfig folder. Check if whatever mods you installed need extra things to be configured in relation to this.

[honest tusk]

Ok

So validate steam files?

[pine kite]

No, check that folder in your Arma 3 install.

Can you find that inside of it? And does a mod (documentation) tell you to do something there?

Could even be in the Arma 3 folder in your documents.

I tried disabling every mod that has CBA as a dependency listed, but it appears that issue lies with neither of those. The only course of action left now is to look elsewhere in the mods that don't list CBA as a dependancy?

I tried to force load the scenario with nothing but CBA and there is no error. So i guess it is indeed a dependancy that's not listed

[tulip solstice]

looks like it was UAS, the issue is resolved

Thanks for taking your time to help me!

[quaint jewel]

tell the mod author! so he can fix it and other people don't also have to waste hours of time

[tulip solstice]

Already left the message with error log in their discord

it probably has something to do with classes being changed or something

[bold bear]

I noticed a strange behavior of the AI - there are two attack helicopters with two crew members in each, and there is a transport helicopter with me and some number of paratroopers. I am the squad leader, and everyone in this action in my squad is an AI
I give an order to the attack helicopters to fly to a certain place, they turn on their engines, get into the air, everything works as expected. But when I get into the transport helicopter, the attack helicopters just hang in place and don't move until I get out of the helicopter

[half snow]

Im not sure whybut wheni try using my mic ingame no one can hear me

im not in discord calls or anything and my default speaker settings are set to ym mic on my sytsem

and my default steam make is also set to the same one

and i cant find anything ingame nor online

[brave imp]

Checking this to see if there's anything that would cause zeus activation to freeze the game

[brave imp]

Removed the owner name, still nothing

Though I can hear a repeating chirping noise

[shadow raptor]

its been doing this for over 20 minutes. Any help?

[umbral narwhal]

It's a big mod...

If it's really stuck even after a steam restart then unsubscribe/resubscribe.

[brave imp]

I still don't understand why it works when not in zeus, and when activating zeus it freezes.

Like, I remember this one time where I send my mission file, and somebody fixed it. Is that like not normal for somebody to check what is wrong with your mission file in troubleshoot?

Am I just being too "vague" to you folks? Is that what is going on???????

Like what am I supposed to describe about zeus freezing when activating it after setting up ALIVE? I don't understand what I am supposed to do and I already hate having to wait through multiple loading screens each time to just get to the eden editor.

I'm honestly just tired of having to load arma 3 multiple times after each time it freezes, like it makes me feel so goddamn terrible and I don't even understand what is going on.

Also, is there a better way to spectate all of the AI fighting eachother other than the zeus????

[umbral narwhal]

When you say zeus freezes, you mean permanently? Not the usual faction-loading delay?

[brave imp]

permanently

Like stops responding sort of stuff

Only thing you can hear is repeated chirping

On two other maps, when I loaded into zeus it actually loaded, but on the altis map with the current set up I got, which is basically the same other two maps I tried before, it strangely stops responding.

I also sent the mission file and mod list I use multiple times in hope that somebody checks it out and fixes it. But it always get ignored, or it gets talked about and then ignored because an another conversation in here just happened.

Like, I honestly feel so burned out at this point.

[void swallow]

Use a virtual Zeus entity instead of an actual unit

Set the Zeus variable whatever you want it named as

Assign the Zeus variable as the owner in the game master module. Check forced interface on

[brave imp]

What does a virtual zeus entity look like?

[void swallow]

Its in virtual entities

[brave imp]

What if make the zeus variable empty?

Also, if it still freezes, do I then send the mission file and modlist in hopes that somebody checks it?

[void swallow]

You have to assign a owner to the game master and force the interface on

[brave imp]

So, like this?

[void swallow]

Yes. There should be a Zeus role when you start the local server

[brave imp]

I'm now seeing a complete blackscreen

And a loading screen just appeared

[void swallow]

Are you doing SP or MP

[brave imp]

SP, but I gotta set it up as a MP mission for the ALIVE persistance stuff

[void swallow]

Launch a local MP server

[brave imp]

Should I not test it in the editor first?

[void swallow]

What do you mean? Just set a LAN server up

[brave imp]

Well, my loading screen seems kind of stuck?

[void swallow]

Show your module settings

[brave imp]

Literally how? I can't revert out of the loading screen

[void swallow]

Press escape to cancel loading

[brave imp]

It does nothing

[void swallow]

Guess you'll have to hard restart. Always test MP missions on a local LAN server

[brave imp]

Also,what do you mean by showing modules?

[void swallow]

Double click on the Game Master and virtual entity

[brave imp]

Huh, arma 3 didn't stop responding now

Wait, it now stopped responding

[brave imp]

Loaded it in LAN... Its not loading (screenshotting like because I wanted to wait to make sure.)

Yep, definitely not loading even in LAN

@void swallow hey, its not loading

I think it froze

[void swallow]

Show me your module and virtual entity settings

They're not set up right

[brave imp]

Wouldn't downloading the mission file for yourself be better way to check for yourself?

Anyway, had to do an hard reboot of arma 3 again

[void swallow]

Game Master

Zeus Virtual. Ignore the frequencies

[brave imp]

So... Arma 3 wont even start anymore

Its stuck initializing addons

[void swallow]

How much RAM do you have and do you have an SSD?

[brave imp]

I have 24GB of ram. And no, my SSD is too tiny for arma

[void swallow]

Yeah... I remember having an HDD. Caused a lot of problems

[brave imp]

Look, Moneys don't grow on trees, ok.

[void swallow]

Regardless, there's not much i can do about that

[brave imp]

Also, it used to load a lot faster

I have waited a dozen minutes, which is not normal since it loaded a lot faster.

[void swallow]

Should be fine now

Just choose the Zeus slot when you launch the local MP server, and it should load the interface

[brave imp]

It was literally still that even when I loaded it in lan

nothing has changed from it

[void swallow]

Try not doing gamemaster

It might be a hardcoded variable

[brave imp]

Ok, also what about this?

[void swallow]

Should be fine

[brave imp]

Ok

Got this error which I keep getting

Then this

[void swallow]

The texture thing I have no idea.

Should be able to press continue and push into the game

[brave imp]

So, game stuck again

[brave imp]

So, my game is stuck/frozen again

[void swallow]

Something going on with ALIVE then

[brave imp]

Okay

[void swallow]

Zeus is set up correctly

[brave imp]

Guess lowering the groups from 200 vs 200 to 100 vs 100... Even though I could handle 200 vs 200 before

[brave imp]

Still nothing.

Hey, scorpii, would it be ok if you checked the mission file to see what is wrong?

[brave imp]

Huh... it loaded after like circa 30 minutes @void swallow

Now I feel the pain of knowing

[void swallow]

Yeah HDD really slows down the loading process with Alive from what i remember

[brave imp]

Strange, cause it loads quite fast when not in zeus mode

[brave imp]

So, what do I do exactly to speed it up?

[void swallow]

Lower the units

[brave imp]

If I lower it to less than 100 groups... it becomes too boring.

Did... did they pass eachother?

[void swallow]

Independent starts as friendly to BLUFOR

[brave imp]

Fuck

I wanted China and England to fight

[void swallow]

How new are you to mission making?

[brave imp]

Quite new. I'm making them just to see some unique armies fight eachother instead of just Americans vs Russians, or americans vs insurgents.

My original plan was France vs China

[void swallow]

Just set IND as hostile to BLU

[brave imp]

Yeah, I just did

[void swallow]

In the settings

[brave imp]

But the problem is I gotta wait an another 30 minutes

So, what do I do while waiting 30 minutes?

It loaded a lot more faster now... Just like how it was with my other mission

I altabbed and it stopped responding

[void swallow]

I love new mission makers

[brave imp]

I don't want to be a mission maker though, I just want to spectate the AI fight it out with ALIVE commanders.

[void swallow]

Be prepared for horrendous performance and slow loading times

[brave imp]

Is there any alternatives?

[void swallow]

Upgrade to an SSD

[brave imp]

Don't SSD cost a lot of money?

[void swallow]

Eh

A small 500GB SSD external drive is like 50-80 USD

[brave imp]

I mean, I'd like something in the terabytes, and then I don't know if I got space for it.

And I don't want to check because I feel like I checked enough times.

And I will end up breaking my computer if I do open it.

So, any alternative missions I could use instead?

[void swallow]

If you want dynamic AI like that, probably not

[brave imp]

Aw man

[brave imp]

So, what can I do instead outside of spending too much money?

[pearl sorrel]

but why? Arma barely takes up 500gb with a decent mod collection.

Unless you're planning to download everything on the workshop..?

[pine kite]

What is more important? That is becomes manageable small and working, or that it is not boring?

[pine kite]

I don't know much about SQF coding. But that looks like a apple versus bananas kind of error. Somewhere it is using that textureList, and it treating it/using it as if it is a class. You can't peel an apple like you would do with a banana. I don't know if you wrote that part or if it is already part of ALIVE/whatever mod. But that is where you should look in the code. If you didn't mess with that code, go find the ALIVE developera and ask what is going on there. If you did write or change something about it, obviously you should not have. Or made a typo somewhere before that which caused compiling to go haywire.

[golden nova]

read the channel description. If you have an event running, you can fill a template in #multiplayer_events and post there, or advertise your community in #communities_arma3 if that's a whole community.

[stiff geyser]

thx but no community really just playing myself..

[golden nova]

#looking_for_game then, just add what exactly are you hosting, with or w/o mods etc and you should find some companions in no time

[stiff geyser]

ok thx

guys ive noticed allots of the launchers or rocket launchers theres no ammo for them in the arsenal were do i find these type of ammo ?

like for M136 Rocket

[umbral narwhal]

That's a disposable launcher, so it magically generates its own ammo when you hit reload on it (maybe just when drawn, in some modsets).

Funny thing is that this doesn't work for AIs because they won't draw a launcher that doesn't have ammo, so you do have to equip them with the fake ammunition somehow.

[stiff geyser]

okok thx

[brave imp]

So, apparently setting the ALIVE close quarter battle module when set to an higher chance of spawning, can cause problems when trying to load the game. Didn't knew this until a person in the ALIVE discord server told me

[brave imp]

Still loads slow, gonna try to delete the cqb module

[wary talon]

Can anyone help me with this it has ben stuck on this screen for literally 48 Hours, I don't know how to solve it, I restarted my Computer, I even uninstalled Arma and reinstalled but no success.

[brave imp]

I have 99 mods loaded, and a lot more installed. And I think I have less than required on my SSD, not the entire workshop though. But multiple faction mods to not just make it Americans vs Russians or Americans vs insurgents in a desert

[brave imp]

But I thought that 100 ai was what everybody could support on ALIVE discord... Also, the cqb module was set at 20% instead of 2%, which slows it down a lot. I just deleted it though, still is slow.

[uncut trellis]

you probably have some broken mods

[wary talon]

@uncut trellis I have no mods

And its aying the same thing for DLCs

[uncut trellis]

odd I dont remember seeing the screen

try verifying your game on steam

!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

[uncut trellis]

and make sure you have not installed any mods to arma 3\addons folder

[wary talon]

@uncut trellis Is this stuff supposed to be in Addons?

Because I did remove all Mods

[uncut trellis]

those particluar ones yes, they are armas own files

if you put something else in there youll need to figure out what it was

[wary talon]

All the Mods are gona, I even checked for anything in the steam workshop

Should I just delete all the stuff In the addons then reinstall Arma?

[uncut trellis]

can work

but dont reinstall

use the verify game files after you delte them

[wary talon]

I'm currently doing what you told me first its still verifying files as we speak

[uncut trellis]

verify wont know if you have added files

but try it after the verify is done

maybe it will alerady fix it

[wary talon]

Okay

over 90% done, thanks for your patients by the way

Yeah its still doing it

And its still doing it even after i deleted all files

[brave imp]

Ok, so I got around 150 ai spread across the entire map. I don't know why that would make me load the game slowly to be honest since people in the alive discord say its a reasonable number

Also, it just happened to an another person on CUP maps like Esseker

[honest tusk]

So my friend cannot connect to my lobby anything I should do?

[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”

[brave imp]

Are there any extra fixes to alt tabbing blackening out the screen when staying out of arma for too much? Or did I do the only one that exist(windowed fullscreen)

Like, I'm too habituated to alt tabbing, so I'm not just gonna forget it by using alt + esc

[sonic lark]

i am trying to create a S.O.G. Prairie Fire server on nitrado. but always get this error message. does anyone have a tip?

[sonic lark]

I saw that i only had 6.8 gigs of storage left so i decieded to delete some mods, i deleted approx. 20-25 gigs of mods and my storage went DOWN to 6.2, anyone know what to do?

[hidden bridge]

Good day. Is there any in-built tool to check what's causing memory leaks? (both server and HC, started some time ago, we can't say for sure if after recent update of Arma or our mission)

[pine kite]

Maybe Steam put them back because it noticed they were not there anymore. Make sure to unsubscribe first. That should remove them. Only after subscribing can you remove them manually if it doesn't disappear quick enough.

[wary talon]

@uncut trellis I am still having trouble with it being stuck on intializing Mods management

[uncut trellis]

I got to admit I dont know what that is

perhaps put your rpt into pastebin.com and link here and maybe someone can see a problem

!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.

[urban lily]

Hi!

I have a little problem, maybe a bug

Most times I open the game, it has no shadows. Shadows distance setting is set to "-1".

I adjust the shadow distance, but next time I open the game it happens again.

Can anyone help?

[urban lily]

sigh... solved
This bug is caused by Cytech mod

This bug is caused by Cytech mod

[craggy robin]

thank you!

yeah I had thought as much unfortunately

I had to remove it way back since scenarios as a whole would stop loading with it on which is a shame

[urban lily]

A beautiful mod, but has some bugs

[worldly kite]

I have found a way to play arma 3 on chrome book devices

This will require you having purchased the game with a steam account at least. And assess to internet.

What you need to do is:

1. Search GeForce now on google.

2. Click join now and select the free membership option

3. Make an account or sign in if you already have an account

4. Link your steam account

And if you have done all the steps you will be able to play arma 3 on a chrome book

[pine kite]

Ok, I thought you actually meant playing Arma 3 on the chromebook itself. With Geforce Now you play on a virtualized system. Anyway, it is a solution.

[worldly kite]

I am sorry I wasn’t Specific

[gilded gate]

I have the most awful LOD problem, grass literally spawns at my feet when I move. It is so distracting.
I'm running the game on ultra with draw on 3000. Ran the game both with mods and without mods.
Its driving me insane, any ideas on how to solve?

[gilded gate]

Ah okay, thank you.

[umbral narwhal]

well, grass literally spawning at your feet would be abnormal.

Normally it spawns about 50m away.

[raven dust]

need help turning my mission file into a pbo

when i right click the file pbo manager doesnt come up

[honest tusk]

Do you need to portfoward so a friend can join?

[weak urchin]

Yes

[honest tusk]

Oh because I put in the right information for the port fowarding but it won't log me in.

Do you put in your account info?

Am I like doing something wrong.

[umbral narwhal]

Log you into what?

[honest tusk]

Spectrum

Nvm

I got into it

[honest tusk]

So I port forwarded it but my friend is still stuck on arma loading screen

[honest tusk]

Also how do you get your address of your server?

[radiant rampart]

Hi all, I am having an issue when we build trenches on a dedicated server, using ACE and Gruppe Adler mods. Never used to happen now happens on any map. Anyone had this problem before and know a fix?

In case the picture is not clear the trench is raised way above ground level so is taller than the player when it should be at waist height. This happens on vanilla maps and modded and only dedicated server.

[uncut trellis]

Maybe add what the issue is?

[radiant rampart]

Well trenches are not meant to be that big last time I checked... 🙂 So the trenches come out taller than the player rather than there normal height.

[uncut trellis]

You may need to start debugging the mods one by one. Could be some other mod breaking it

[radiant rampart]

That fun process! 🙂 Will try that.

[uncut trellis]

When it comes to using mods anything can happen

[pine kite]

Which kind of address of your server? The one you need to enter for portforwarding in your router? That is the local IP address of that computer. Think of it as the roomnumber in an officebuilding, where the mailman on the street doesn't get to. Networksettings in Windows or the output of "ipconfig" in a cmd window should tell you that. Should be in the form of : 192.168.x.y , 172.16-31.x.y or 10.x.y.z

Or do you mean the address your friend needs to direct connect? That is the public address, or WAN address of your router. It's like your street address that the mailman delivers mail and packages to you. He never goes beyond the front door. (your router) You can also visit a site like whatsmyip.org to get it. But sometimes they report the wrong address compared to what you find in your router. That would be an indication that you ISP is doing some address faking and it would be likely that Arma 3 server is not going to work from your home. Network traffic will end up going to the wrong place. You may have to convince your friend to use hamachi or something like it to connect you two into the same network.

[honest tusk]

I mean the direct connect,

When he tries to join he just gets stuck in the arma 3 loading screen

[pine kite]

Make sure you host a simple vanilla mission without mods. So you can be sure it's not getting stuck at having the wrong, or too many, or not enough of the mods you are using. Or incase you are using a custom mission that has bugs in it.

If the manual port forwarding is done correctly in your router (meaning the entire UDP portrange 2302-2306) and the firewall is opened likewise, then he should be able to find it in the Launcher serverbrowser by the name you gave your server. If he doesn't the networking is probably holding you back there.

[brave imp]

Hey, does universal ammo system(updated) cause a lot of loading time problems?
Cause somebody on the alive discord said it does when I shared my modlist there to check what might be causing the loading times
And well, I have multiple different maps.

I presume you are trying to portforward to host a server behind your router?

Custom service name: Arma 3 (whatever you like really, it is just a name)
External host: leave blank
External port: 2302-2306
Internal host: your server computer's LAN ipv4-address
Internal port: 2302-2306

[honest tusk]

So do you get your ipv4 adress?

And put it in Internal Hosyt

Host*

[pine kite]

Operating system network details. Or type ipconfig in a cmd window.

You might get a lot of responses depending on how many network devices you got.

Best is to use your cabled network connection. Wifi can be slow/laggy/unstable connection.

[honest tusk]

What one?

[burnt imp]

IPv4 Address

[honest tusk]

Ok

Yes, IPv4 Address. Apparently you only have wifi connected. It will have to do. But try to have an ethernet cable connected to your computer.

I've looked at the biki, and no info on it
Been doing it for a couple weeks I think?

[uncut trellis]

you have perhaps added launch parameters to command line to run mods

or you have somehow installed mods into arma 3\addons\ folder

[rotund panther]

Doubtful for both

but lemme check

[rotund panther]

Gonna be honest, IDK how to check the top one though

Hah, fucking fixed it

Found the command line and there was stuff there

Thanks

[uncut trellis]

👍

[pine kite]

Well, the router has usually got 4 sockets for RJ45 plugs for computers to connect with. So you get the appropriate cable and connect that into the one of your computer.

[manic tendon]

Can i ask question about ArmA 2?

[pine kite]

It's an Arma game (channel description), so yes.

[manic tendon]

Is there any archive of armaholic?i started playing ArmA after it shutdown?

Looks like theres tons of mod there

[pine kite]

Not that I am aware of. It's a great loss to the community. But I didn't search much for an alternative either. I don't play "2" much at all.

[manic tendon]

So only moddb?

[pine kite]

Don't know, didn't even know that was a thing.

But I thought you had issues with Isla Duala?

[uncut trellis]

As far as we know Armaholic and the data is lost.

[delicate orbit]

hey so im trying to play some stuff online. and now im getting these weird errors

i keep getting popups saying a3loading picture not found when loading, and i randomly get kicked for wrong signature for file D:...Arma 3/mark/addons/ then some random file

each time its something different

[uncut trellis]

your game install is corrupt

run steam game verify

!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

[delicate orbit]

will i lose my progress for koth?

[uncut trellis]

dunno, but you cant play anyway like that

[delicate orbit]

or is that stored serverside

it just now started happening tho

[uncut trellis]

well it wont stop untill you fix it

[delicate orbit]

and i can usually stay in it for a while

[uncut trellis]

could also be hardware failing

[delicate orbit]

literally no other game has done anything remotely similar

so i doubt it

[native drum]

So a player of mine has loaded in and is stuck on an interactive map screen that changes the view of the map any ideas

[uncut trellis]

some mod is broken mayhaps

or he got wrong mods /dlcs loaded

[scenic tree]

trying to launch with no mods

Game won't launch correctly in any state; I keep getting this error

[untold fractal]

@scenic tree please make sure you've got no extra/3rd party .pbo files in the Addons folder of Arma 3.
Alternatively verify the game in steam.
Also could you post your RPT/log file perhaps?

[scenic tree]

Verified game in steam + mods

[steady hawk]

Literally you try to load the game with Mods...

[scenic tree]

?

[untold fractal]

"-mod=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\!Workshop\@RHSAFRF;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\!Workshop\@RHSUSAF;

So you are loading some mods....

[scenic tree]

I don't understand how I attempted to load them

[steady hawk]

Check through every parameters

[scenic tree]

Okay, I'll be sure to

[uncut trellis]

You probably have them in command line

This has been happening few times now. I wonder how people get mod parameters on command line when they don't seem to know it even exists.

A mystery

[thin smelt]

Any fix?

This shows up everytime I boot up arma

[uncut trellis]

looks like your game files are not up to date or broken. verify them on steam

[thin smelt]

Aight

[uncut trellis]

!steamverify

hmm

bot broke?

[thin smelt]

I know how. Don't worry

[uncut trellis]

#arma3_troubleshooting message

[thin smelt]

@uncut trellis Doesn't work

[uncut trellis]

try repairing your cup mods too

[thin smelt]

Which is that?

[uncut trellis]

eh?

you really should know what mods you got there

[thin smelt]

I just woke up man

[uncut trellis]

so did I

its still your mod list and your computer

[thin smelt]

I got quite alot of cups

which one is the one i have to repair?

[uncut trellis]

then repair all of them

[thin smelt]

Aw

alr done

I'll run it again

DOESN'T WORK

I THINK I WANT TO CRY

@uncut trellis

[uncut trellis]

thats all I got

[thin smelt]

AHHHH

[uncut trellis]

make sure game runs without mods normally first

then add mods one by one to see which one breaks

[thin smelt]

Then after I close Arma 3 the game it gives me a pop up saying "arma 3 has exited in an unusual manner exit code : 0x000000000001 -UNABLE_TO_INIT_DXGI

[uncut trellis]

you got something pretty broken there. no idea what

[thin smelt]

I think I will cry tonight

[pine kite]

Unable to init DXGI seems to indicate related to GPU or it's drivers.

Or maybe a shader mod related to that

[thin smelt]

So what I do @pine kite

[pine kite]

Check if you have any graphic or shader altering mods. Disable them. Or any other special applications that modify how games look. check if your graphics card driver is up to date.

[fathom canopy]

install direct-x

[umbral narwhal]

The DXGI error is a pretty standard hard-close error. Usually just means something shut down in the wrong order and so it doesn't matter.

[fallen escarp]

I'm in need of help with my server

[pine kite]

Then start explaining the issue.

[fallen escarp]

im trying to install infistar into my mission mp file but the directions arent very good

[pine kite]

I don't have experience with it myself. But it seems quite straight forward: https://faq.infistar.vision/#install-infistar-a3
Maybe others in #server_admins have experience.

[trim marlin]

Btw i figured out the problem, i had to delete the addon file inside of the mod after finding wixh one it it, and then repair the mod trough arma

[uncut trellis]

👍

excellent

well done

[toxic agate]

Hello guys

This is not relacioneted to arma, but when I tried to log in into my pc my account is gone, I can’t see it, even if I tried to put the password and username is not working, and I’m a bit lost, anybody knows what to do?

[pure elm]

hey im getting "Application settings are corrupted and will be reseted" on arma published any ideas/fixes?

[uncut trellis]

you can try #offtopic_software for general computer help, this channel is for arma related stuff

[raven dust]

I have hosted servers for my friends for years using the standard upnp shit, but now it will not show up when my friends try to join or vice versa, this has worked for years but all of a sudden doesnt. does anyone know a fix

i also try to use vlan, it did not show up either

[static kernel]

My minimal suggestion is try diffrent port (UDP: 2302-2305), and make sure you are online on Steam for the server to properly show up for your friend

[burnt imp]

Watch this video for all of the setup options and considerations necessary to get your server to appear

https://youtu.be/rjX9hBrOaOM

[thin smelt]

Literally just opened up Arma with some mods and it gives me an error and crashes "Include file userconfig\Igit_ADVv4\IGIT_ADJV4.hpp not found"

[umbral narwhal]

Remove the mods.

[thin smelt]

Man there's alot

[umbral narwhal]

And therein lies your problem :P

[pine kite]

If you have made backups previously you can put the files back. If not you may need to take that as a loss and start with a clean profile.

[pure elm]

how do you mean a clean profile?

[pine kite]

Arma 3 user profile. Contains your application settings. If the game crashes for some reason it tends to get corrupted.

[thin smelt]

I swear I will punch a bear in the nuts if I don't fix this

[pure elm]

damn even for the arma tools publisher?

[pine kite]

Don't take it out on the bear. You chose the mods.

[thin smelt]

:c

True

[pine kite]

Well, you didn't say what it was about. I just guess it was your Arma crash that caused it.

[thin smelt]

When I'm at work, I literally buy Ricola everytime.

[pure elm]

sorry shouldve specified im getting "Application settings are corrupted and will be reseted" when launching the arma tools publisher

[mental river]

some mods need user configs

for this one all you have to do is make the missing file in your Arma installation folder

[thin smelt]

And how do I do that?

[mental river]

you don't know how to make a couple of folders and a file?

the file can just be a text file

[thin smelt]

Bro, I just bought this game like a week ago

[mental river]

that's just Windows basics and has nothing to do with the game

also that's the mod's fault for using a deprecated feature. the game doesn't need that

[thin smelt]

Alright so what should I name the file and where do I put it?

[mental river]

right click on Arma in Steam
Manage->Browse local files
make a new folder called userconfig
inside the userconfig folder make a new one called Igit_ADVv4
then in the Igit_ADVv4 folder make a text file and rename it to IGIT_ADJV4.hpp

[burnt imp]

HACKERMAN

[pine kite]

I would first check the documentation of the mod and the workshop page regarding instructions on doing something with userconfig folder.

[mental river]

yeah don't just download mods...

[pine kite]

Obviously making a file there to solve the lack of the file isn't going to make it work. It depends on the contents of that particular file. We don't know what needs to be in it.

[thin smelt]

I fixed it

18 hours of absolute chaos and crying

I will now throw my tissues away

[steady hawk]

!localhost

Hmm Arma bot is down

[tacit pasture]

Neither me or my friend can find each others game when using a peer 2 peer connection like hamachi or zero tier when we try and use the S.O.G DLC.

[steady hawk]

#arma3_troubleshooting message
Make sure this

[tacit pasture]

I personally don't have the ability to do port forwarding and I'm not sure my friend is too fancy of the idea either. Like I stated, we use hamachi and now zero tier, we never once had an issue like this before outside of S.O.G

[steady hawk]

SOGPF shouldn't change how the game behave terms of internet connection. Since I neither am an expert of such thing it's better to leave a question here so somebody can answer

[umbral narwhal]

It changes the UI a bit, but it's the same stuff underneath.

[burnt imp]

I'm assuming you find the server via the LAN tab.

[tacit pasture]

We have tried Lan and Friends tab

[fringe salmon]

anyone know how to fix

code execution cannot continue because it cannot be found. try reinstalling the program

and after i click ok a few times this pops up instead

[quaint jewel]

Try install C++ 2013 redistributable x64

[fringe salmon]

trying rn

i already got it it says

[quaint jewel]

Then maybe DirectX

[fringe salmon]

i fixed it by restarting the pc lmao

it had an update waiting

but ty for tips

[pure elm]

hey guys im getting "Application settings are corrupted and will be reseted" when launching the arma tools publisher any ideas on how to fix this?

ive already tried verifying it and reinstalling it

[wanton bay]

I'm getting this error how do I fix it?

when i dont have anything loaded it says this

uh

why is it like tha

someone help pls

[pine kite]

Make sure to verify your game through Steam:

!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

[wanton bay]

i already did that

thats the first thing i did

nothing changed

[burnt imp]

Based off your screenshots, you have some addons installed that were installed from somewhere other than the Steam Workshop.

You could try removing those or deleting the entire Arma 3 game folder and install a fresh copy of the game.

[fringe salmon]

Im having some issues with my multiplayer servers, I dont get any error messages but none of my friends can join the game. Ive done everything I can think of (Adjusting max / min players. Going through spawn settings. Checking that its a multiplayer save.) Any ideas?

[pine kite]

HAve they joined before? Or never before? If the later then you probably need to do something like opening ports in your router and forward the traffic to your PC server.

!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”

[tacit pasture]

can someone help me with this?

[burnt imp]

Turn off any VPNs
Confirm your friend can see you are playing Arma 3 on Steam

[tacit pasture]

Don't use VPNs and we could see each other on steam playing arma

[tacit pasture]

.

[red charm]

Anyone know why I can't download vidda | legacy for my server or why it's failing

[burnt imp]

That's strange. I've never heard of this problem before

[cunning grotto]

i cant join my server and im getting this in the logs any idea if this is related and what to do?

[mental river]

if you use ambient occlusion, super sampling, or FSAA, you can try turning them off and see if it improves the performance

what's your GPU?

I feel like it could be driver related. I personally don't have that problem on my old GPU

or maybe because it's TI?

well actually I mean it should be older

usually new drivers break things in older games

it's just a guess ofc

I don't think so. it's probably related to alpha blending in newer GPUs

like I said, my old GPU doesn't really have a perf drop when I look at foliage

it's roughly the same FPS as when I'm not looking at them

maybe ask in #hardware_vs_arma see if anyone can confirm

GTX 760

425.31

but first ask in #hardware_vs_arma to make sure

maybe it's not driver/GPU related at all

np

[pure elm]

hey guys im still getting "Application settings are corrupted and will be reseted" when launching the arma tools publisher

Already tried verifying and reinstalling

I am completely unable to open the program so i am unable to upload/update my mods

[mental river]

open registry editor
go to
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Bohemia Interactive
delete all Arma 3 Tools stuff (Publisher, etc.) then reinstall the program

[pure elm]

so in there i see alot of arma tools stuff but nothing related to publisher

i tried deleting everything in there except for the arma folder and im still getting it

[mental river]

then maybe that's the problem

[pure elm]

how do i get it in there lmao

[mental river]

because I have it

[pure elm]

ive tried reinstalling arma tools alot of times

oh wtf im missing so many files there

[mental river]

make those entries

first create a key named Publisher under Bohemia Interactive

then those 4 string values

these are the values:

set the last one as your actual publisher path

for me it's:
E:\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3 Tools\Publisher

[pure elm]

now their all ther

but still not working

[mental river]

go to: %localappdata%\Arma 3 Publisher

delete that too

if that doesn't work go to: %localappdata%\Bohemia_Interactive

find the publisher folder

then delete the user.cfg in it

if that doesn't work either ping Dedmen. maybe he can tell you how to reset the settings

[pure elm]

IT WORKS

omg thank you so much i was going insane over this

[mental river]

np

[white horizon]

Oh hey, so.. I can't play any scenario. I click on continues or play it doesn't do anything

[mental river]

vanilla scenarios? or from Workshop?

[white horizon]

Workshop

And I tried even vanilla

[mental river]

do you have the mods it needs?

[white horizon]

Yes, it works before but now it doesn't. It gaves me some error

[mental river]

post the error

[white horizon]

Okay, but it will take a moment

[mental river]

it's fine

you can also check the 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.

Thank you m8!

[winged kite]

This is my default 1st person view. Not as I remember

[white horizon]

Didn't worked

[mental river]

do you use any mods?

maybe a mod is breaking it

try without mods first

[white horizon]

Lemme try something

[burnt imp]

Try hitting the - key on the numpad.
It looks like youre stuck on zoom in. You can check your VIEW controls

[white horizon]

It worked without mods

That's weird

[uncut trellis]

not really. mods can easly break the game

[white horizon]

But it worked with the same mods before

That's the weird part

[uncut trellis]

some might have updated with broken features

or some conflict may have become apparent

[mental river]

try repairing your mods too
