That will take forever

Rcs

[mental river]

the ones you used that got you that error

[white horizon]

I don¨t know what RCS is

[mental river]

it's not a mod name

it's short for Resource

and let's just say it's a game "asset"

[white horizon]

Then how I will find out which one is that?

[mental river]

bisection is probably the fastest way

[white horizon]

bisection is..?

[mental river]

load half of your mods
start the game and try the mission
if no issue with that half, the other half is broken, and vice versa
then keep doing it for the broken half

[white horizon]

vice versa?

[mental river]

let me put it in steps for you:

1. Load half of your mod group
2. start the game and try the mission
3. if the mission works fine, then the half you loaded was ok.
4. if the mission didn't work ok, then the half you loaded has a broken mod.

now whichever half was broken, use that group in step 1 and repeat until you find the one mod that's breaking it

basically you keep dividing by 2 until you reach 1

[white horizon]

Okay, I really thank you!

[white horizon]

Okay so.. I cannot close any error

[mental river]

send me your 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.

[mental river]

that might be faster

I want the latest one that has the error

[white horizon]

Okay, give me a sec

here

@mental river

[mental river]

what is that?

it's not rpt...

[white horizon]

What is rpt then?

[mental river]

read this

[white horizon]

Im so stupid. Sorry

[white horizon]

Here

[mental river]

is that all of it?

it's VERY broken 😬

[white horizon]

Yes

Latest log from error game

[white horizon]

Wdym by that?

[mental river]

the rpt is not even complete

you closed the game right?

[white horizon]

What tf

Yes

[mental river]

you probably have a duplicate mod

that's what the errors seem to say

or your disk is f*d up

[white horizon]

What about this one?

[mental river]

yeah that's better

[white horizon]

Great

So?

[mental river]

you seem to have a missing mod

check all your mods on steam

make sure you have all the requirements

[white horizon]

Launcher doenst say any missing mod

Sus

[white horizon]

Did that said which one mod is saying that?

[mental river]

some mods don't list workshop dependencies

[white horizon]

Holly frick

Thank you mate. You really helped me

CASounds is what? I cannot find that anywhere

[white horizon]

I dont even have addon named WarFX

[mental river]

that's the "internal" name of the addon

if you want my advice, first repair all your mods and try again

if it doesn't solve it, just unload them one by one to find what is breaking it

popular mods like CUP, RHS, 3CB are probably ok and no need to unload them (but do repair them)

[white horizon]

This will take whole day i see

[mental river]

if you follow that bisection trick I taught you it'll be faster

[white horizon]

I'll try that

Finally its FIXED

Thank you for your help!

[sullen wolf]

For Reforger, my game is permanently stuck in the Texture Rendering Mode, and wont Render at all...

This is on lowest Graphic options

this on Ultra

I have waited about Half an hour and it didnt fix itself, like it should

restarted the game

and even vertifyed the files

what do i do?

The game is running Smoothly otherwhise, good FPS and very few lags on Ultra

[sullen wolf]

Even redownloadet it now, its still broken

[mental river]

you got ripped off. that's YLands 🤣

anyway jokes aside, what is your GPU?

and driver?

[sullen wolf]

ive downloadet it on a decently empty drive

[drifting hedge]

anyone know how to fix the issue with joining servers on reforger

[mental river]

there's a dedicated reforger troubleshooting channel #reforger_troubleshooting

you can ask there

[sullen wolf]

Since i cant send images in Reforger Troubleshooting

My CPU

at this point... im out of options

[sullen wolf]

. Po showed me how to fix it

Nvidia Driver updates were requried

[shut elk]

anyone managed to log into the same account in Enfusion Workbench and ingame (Arma Reforger)?

[weary coral]

Hi, my game is crashing when i try to start it (no mods)

Here is logs

idk what to do

[bright laurel]

any idea what the hell is causing this

only had this since I installed windows 11

same issue with touchpad so it's not the mouse

[olive berry]

what graphics settings should i change to make enemys (and other smallish objects) at range not look like pixels

like the enemies at the far end of that field

[bright laurel]

oh weird verifying integrity fixed it

[gloomy mulch]

Hi, I am having an issue transmitting voice on arma 3. Mic works perfectly in any other game, discord, ts, just not in game on arma, can anyone help please?

[sacred haven]

whats your AA set at? 8x?

[fiery oyster]

VoN is disabled on official servers due to security reasons. Where have you tried to speak?

[quaint jewel]

Shouldn't be anymore tho, that was fixed

[fiery oyster]

To be fair, my last try is a bit outdated. Still the question if others can talk or of it's disabled for all

[naive escarp]

DUI Radar mod is stretched too much horizontally while playing at Ultrawide resolution - anyone experienced this or know a workaround? Not unplayable, just a bit jarring.

[white galleon]

Hey i just install arma 3 on my brother computer and the game keeps crashing on koth

I don’t understand why

He has a rtx 3060 ti + ryzen 5600x

He has access violation error

[umbral narwhal]

Random times or repeatable?

[white galleon]

Repeatable

When he is on the map 2 mins later the game is froze and it crashed

Now the game crash when I am about to spawn on koth

I tried a different server

Same issue

[quaint jewel]

Whene it crashes it creates a .mdmp file in

[quaint jewel]

Put that in a zip and send it to me tomorrow (in 14 hours) and I'll take a look

[sly grotto]

have you looked in Audio settings? you sometimes need to select the mic you want to use in Arma 3, that and try switching channels to direct and see if you can be heard

[white galleon]

Okay I will do it

No crashes yet

[fringe salmon]

help

[pine kite]

It's talking about newly reinstalling the game. So either verify the game through Steam first, or remove and reinstall.

!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

[fringe salmon]

already reinstalled

[pine kite]

Then check if your antivirus/malware scanner is preventing proper installation of it.

[fringe salmon]

i dont have a Antivirus

Verify also didnt work

[pine kite]

Maybe windows event manager can say more about why it doesn't want to start. Or see if you can find any .rpt log files in the hidden appdata/local/arma 3 folder.

[fringe salmon]

ok lemme try

[pine kite]

!rpt

There is also the launcher folder in Appdata. Might also have log files. The launcher is what starts Arma 3 proper.

[fringe salmon]

where exactly?

[fringe salmon]

And did you find something the the data i send you

[pine kite]

Current time: 2022/04/02 10:19:14 Are you sure that is the most recent log file where you experienced the problem? It's 1.5 months old.

Should be in C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\

[quaint jewel]

Visual C++ redistributable 2013, or directx, also maybe windows updates reboot

[fringe salmon]

Ye

[gloomy mulch]

[steady lark]

my audio doesnt work
anyone able to help

[uncut trellis]

plug in the audio device and turn it on

[steady lark]

damn didnt think of that'

its only for arma

[uncut trellis]

make sure your audio device is set as windows default

[steady lark]

it is

its not my audio its arma

because even when i screen share arma no one can hear it so the program isnt producing audio

[gloomy mulch]

my bad

[gloomy mulch]

sounds similar to my issue, except mine is voice chat. only with arma, everywhere else it's fine

[rigid panther]

help

[mental river]

go to Documents\Arma 3 and open arma3.cfg using Notepad or something

find the refresh value and change it to your monitor refresh rate (e.g 60)

[rigid panther]

oh ok thx

[fringe salmon]

how to Install DirecX?

[quaint jewel]

Google directx installer, should get you to microsoft website

[fringe salmon]

[heavy canyon]

Me and a couple of friends have been trying to play together but when I or one of them hosts we cannot see the server what should we do

I don’t know if this is the right channel for this so I’m just gonna leave it here

[cinder tapir]

You will need to forward the port(s) that the server is running on to the internet

[pulsar rain]

I use ubuntu linux, arma 3 with proton experimental and these mods;
cba_a3,
cup weapons,
cup units,
cup vehicles,
community factions pack

Game freezes and crashes after a while while on singleplayer mission

[pulsar rain]

I haven't seen such a problem when i was using windows.

[pseudo shoal]

After playing reforger, Arma 3 will no longer launch, it'll go through the start up but once the actual game transfers to fullscreen, it disappears without a crash log, and task manager says it's still there. Anyone know a solution?

[wintry crater]

I can't seem to play multiplayer I either get the session error or failed to join. I verified the files not sure what else to try

[sonic verge]

help

arma on linux

I dont know how to do it

ive done proton but i get 4fps in arma 3

but I have a good computer

[simple linden]

yo can i get some help with something

i cant load into anything campaigns

[reef mason]

Anyone know what this is?

[reef mason]

Arma if I recall runs heavily on your cpu, and the only thing that really affects frames is your render distance

[sonic verge]

i fixed it it was driver issue

[pine kite]

Someone else suggested to check the file arma3.cfg in your (main) profile and check if there is a line refresh= set to 0. It would need to be set to the refreshrate of your screen. Don't know if this works. Let us know.

[umbral narwhal]

I think it's normal to set refresh to 0 for windowed though.

[sacred python]

Per Enhanced Movement/Enhanced Movement Rework, When I climb up or down, my view changes to first person. Does anyone know why?

[sacred python]

@next quail Your Video card is to hot

not sure

[fringe salmon]

Does anyone know how to fix {Include file x/kat/addons/main/script_mod.hpp not found} any help would be appreciated

[fading jolt]

ufos

[open forge]

how u open cheat console?

[pine kite]

If you mean the Escape debug menu, then it has to be enabled in the mission. If you didn't make it yourself then the mission creator would need to allow that. There is a mod called the "simple single player cheat menu" SSPCM. You would need to enable that in the launcher after subscribing. And then you get a option to enable at the top of the map screen.

[open forge]

I want to skip a mission

[glass saddle]

If I just search the things in question, like 'nvidia' in the discord search, am I likely to find my answer? Lots of conflicting information about best performance

with nvidia, one question I have is for the nvidia control panel, what Power management mode actually gives the best performance. My main issue that really irritates me is stuttering, however researching already discreteGPU might be a factor for stuttering, but there's so many combinations of settings I could test, hyperthreading, should I have that unchecked but the 3 operation selected ....really spammy specific stuff like that.

TLDR: have pretty much all performance/settings questions already been answered that I can eventually find using the search?

[strong socket]

So i just got arma and my computer runs it smoothly but every few missions in bootcamp it would kinda crash then delete my save. Any way i can fix this?

[umbral narwhal]

Explain "kinda crash".

[strong socket]

It would exit out of the game and go to the launcher

[next creek]

why does this always happen im playing on EU servers ping isn't even that high

[thorn swift]

All my loadouts are gone T_T

Got the 'Hey welcome to Arma 3!' profile reset glitch... but nothing else was reset?

Just the loadouts.

[umbral narwhal]

What else were you expecting to be reset?

[thorn swift]

When it happened to me last, it reset everything. Progress on missions, the 'completed' checkboxes, it took a while for my time trial scores to sync back up...

So it's just a weird thing to happen.

[umbral narwhal]

And you checked all those things?

[thorn swift]

Yeah, everything else was as I had it; just my arsenal loadouts gone.

Made all the more annoying because I was one of those tireless nerds who built loadouts for everything, all factions, all roles.

[umbral narwhal]

Some stuff is in the user.arma3profile rather than user.vars.arma3profile.

[sacred python]

so to go further. It seems it's not really EM that causes me to go to first person but anytime I go under water then come up, brush close to a wall or building (where the camera moves my view)

[thorn swift]

I do have an alternative profile, thanks to Windows 11 and it's naming conventions, but I haven't touched that at all - last time I tried to play around with profiles, I lost everything - and I do mean everything this time.

[kind bobcat]

All the times I try to put unit type as HQ in description.ext, it always gives error, not identifying HQ as type of unit (despite Biki saying otherwise and listing it as one of the available unit types). Any solution for this or is HQ unit type just broken?

[night yarrow]

does anyone knows how to fix receiving data bug? it pissing me off please someone help

[twilit geyser]

any way to force unlock saving for the hunter six mod or in general?

I tried the console command but that didnt work

[steady lark]

Hello, my arma 3 audio has not been working for about 5 months now. I've tried lots of different things to fix my problem however nothing seems to work. I decided to see if I could get some help from you guys as it is my last option. Any solutions?

[quaint jewel]

just no audio output?

correct output device set ingame?

[steady lark]

i cant change in game output it just default output

[steady lark]

yeah

when i screen share my friend are not able to year it also

[quaint jewel]

there are no outputs listed ingame??

🤔

[steady lark]

if you are free to vc or something i can try to show you

[quaint jewel]

nop, but if game cannot detect any output devices then I wouldn't have any idea

[fringe salmon]

Hah, took me to A3

[mental river]

Is the game audio on in volume mixer?

[steady lark]

yeah

[wanton bay]

Whenever I try and join a public Zeus server, I get into the server just fine, but when I am on the screen to choose my role and click continue, it says Receiving Data and never loads. Why?

I restarted computer and shutdown a few times still doesn't work

[bronze skiff]

Revalidate game files?

[wanton bay]

I'll do it now

[wanton bay]

Could it be because I have lot's of compositions?

[bronze skiff]

To be honest I have no clue.

[wanton bay]

alr

[sacred python]

That seems like an odd fix, But glad you got it

[stable widget]

i am trying to start a private server for some friends its is running and everything i can see the server but i cant join it and none of my friends but i dont know why i cant join if i could get some help on this issue that would be greatly apricated

[bronze river]

well known arma 3 issue always use 1 core for some reason

[mental river]

Arma doesn't "always use 1 core"

but it uses the main thread much more than others

[burnt imp]

Turn off any VPNs

[stable widget]

DONT HAVE ANY

sorry for caps

[burnt imp]

The next thong to check is for mod mismatches

[viscid nymph]

looked this up online

seems like I stumbled into a pokemon shiny level error

[fringe salmon]

I'm getting this type of error more often, I have reinstalled the game, tried with and without mods but i have the same problem..
would really need some tips or solution for this.
it happens often after I play a mission a few minutes and sometimes It happens in the editor

[quaint jewel]

prepare report and send it, like the user above you did
or make a FT ticket, or DM to me

[heavy canyon]

@red galleon try this

[quaint jewel]

your report only contains some game freezes, no crashes

[viscid nymph]

reran Arma with no mods, resulting report, same exit code

already tried steam validation, might try full reinstall after this

to note, Arma loads halfway then seemingly crashes, even if the report doesn't state so

[quaint jewel]

21:00:27 File read error: addons\structures_f.pbo,17: Data error (cyclic redundancy check).

21:00:32 File read recovery from error 17 has failed with error 17: Data error (cyclic redundancy check).
thats not an arma issue, somethings wrong with your files on disk

verify files in steam, maybe run chkdsk

[viscid nymph]

gotcha, thank ye

[viscid nymph]

yep, my drive wasnt the healthiest

time to do backups

[winged blade]

I was adding some unit to an existing faction for the first time yesterday and I made it into a pbo and added it to arma 3 but it came up with an error like this

and here's my pbo file

[pure elm]

hey @quaint jewel sorry for pinging you but do you have any idea when this will be fixed?

still happens sadly

[quaint jewel]

Wednesday should be next dev branch build

If you desperately need it I can give you a fix tomorrow

[pure elm]

that would be great building mfds😩

[stable widget]

its all vanilla when ever i try to join it said steam auth failed

[tender lake]

anyone know of a keybind to end a level and return to editor the menu isnt showing up on death for me and i dont have the scenario saved so i dont want to close the game.

[quaint jewel]

Corrupt texture on the terrain you're playing on

[fringe salmon]

ok, nice! thanks alot!
Could you help me to point out where to find the info about the crashes? Would be nice to learn it so I don't have to write here every time haha

[quaint jewel]

You can't

[fringe salmon]

haha ok, is this the same problem?

[quaint jewel]

all the .mdmp files in there are 0 bytes in size 😄

[fringe salmon]

haha, damn.. lets skip that one.. thanks alot for your help with the first log!

[ocean cosmos]

this probably isnt the place to ask but i cant find anywhere better to ask -- is anyone having any issues with ace version mismatch after the latest update despite mission file, server and player all being up to date?

server is definitely not on that version as ive located the ace_casings pbo file in it...

and have reinstalled all ACE affiliated mods -- base mod and compats

[ocean cosmos]

nvm got it

[burnt imp]

What was it?

[ocean cosmos]

outdated optional pbo file in a different mod heh

[cinder tulip]

14:07:25 Warning Message: Addon 'CESaddons' requires addon 'ace_main', this goes for all of the addons that are ace dependant, anyone know how to fix this after the new ace update?

[tall wedge]

Is anyone known with this error on Dev branch? I cant get rid of it

[umbral narwhal]

Report in #dev_rc_branch, someone should be interested.

[tall wedge]

Thanks for the reply! I will do that

[mental river]

Yes, it is known. But the reason is not known and it's still being investigated

[tall wedge]

Okay, thanks for your reply

[thorn swift]

Huh... whenever I export a loadout, then import it, it loses the FAK in the uniform o.0

[wet otter]

So any ideas why BI weapons cannot be equipped with Bipods (other weapon addons like CUP & RHS still works fine though)?

[mental river]

BI weapons cannot
they can. the weapon you've selected can't

the weapon must have compatible underbarrel slots

[wet otter]

But MX can be equipped with bipod...?

Even the SPAR and SPMG cannot equip bipod?

[mental river]

it works fine in vanilla for me

maybe you have a mod that breaks it

test in vanilla first

[wet otter]

Alright then

[mental river]

or maybe that's an ACE arsenal bug

[wet otter]

Nope, Bipod works for RHS and CUP weapons

[crisp garden]

it's fixed by the new update

[restive lantern]

All factions show in Eden Editor but when I go to Zeus some modded factions just don't show up.
I already tried a fix with selecting on the Zeus module the all addons option inluding not official addons and it still doesn't work, only a few more factions were shown.
However, some factions show if I spawn an unit of them in Eden Editor...

Does someone know how I could fix that bug?

Here are some pictures

First one is in Eden Editor, second one in Zeus

Wait, hold on
I died in Zeus, clicked on restart and suddenly it shows all factions

what is this shit

[thorn swift]

Zeus has... oddities. I know a longatanding one was the liat losing entire factions until you r/c'd a unit and left.

[umbral narwhal]

I recall a similar one where if you start with -autoinit, half the factions are missing.

[ocean cosmos]

try without ACWP loaded if you have that

[uncut trellis]

bipod working on other weapons can still mean some mod breaks the vanilla behavior. test without mods

[ocean cosmos]

ACWP is blocking it, saw it in the comments

[wet otter]

Thank you, I shall try later~

[late tapir]

hmm im doing some testing but got a bit stuick

installed my own TS3 server and forwarded the port, it works players are able to connect

installer CBA+ACRE2, it loads ingame, placed the .dll in TS3 plugins, its activated

when loading ingame the plugin is able to connect to the game

but nobody can hear nobody. not through radios and not through proximity voice

is there anything else that needs to be setup 🤔

i know the mission.sqm needs to have stuff for pvp/coop mission setup, but at least the proximity voice should work even without it, no?!

[gusty mantle]

when i use the scroll wheel the action menu wont show.

i cant heal

open doors

pick up/loot items

[golden loom]

Hey anyone knows what can cause this?

I deleted my arma and install back agian, this is vanilla version no mods at all

[gusty mantle]

re-download the mods?

[pine kite]

You tell us which mods you use? Or are the mods you want to use actually loaded? I hear noticed ACE has been updated yesterday. So maybe other mods are not in sync with those changes now.

[gusty mantle]

i was tryna help not get help..

[pine kite]

Make sure to verify the install of your game through Steam. And that you don't use other mods. Those look like basegame parts of the game.

!steamverify

[rustic eagle]

Steam file verification process:
Right Click on game -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity of game files
Arma 3
Steam Workshop Mod repair process:
Open Launcher -> Right Click on mod -> Repair
The first process will automatically verify Steam Workshop items as well.

[pine kite]

Well, you also were trying to get help for your own issue. I got confused I guess.

[gusty mantle]

ah

[kindred siren]

Hello every1 i downloaded Arma 3 on my new pc and im getting this error anyone know how i can fix it?

[restive sequoia]

first do this

!steamverify

[rustic eagle]

Steam file verification process:
Right Click on game -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity of game files
Arma 3
Steam Workshop Mod repair process:
Open Launcher -> Right Click on mod -> Repair
The first process will automatically verify Steam Workshop items as well.

[restive sequoia]

Then revert your overclocking if you did any (GPU/CPU/RAM).
If the problem still exists check RAM and HDD/SSD for problems.

[kindred siren]

i already did it and still getting same error

I've spent hours looking for a solution but most of which is an example of -malloc=system thinking that it was going to fix the game for me but nope the error still i followed all steps this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znZoUlW-z84&ab_channel=SubVoidMedia but nothing 😦

[devout jacinth]

Help me, my CUP terrains is being the dumbest thing in the world. I try adding CUP to my server and it doesn't like it. It never has, whenever I try and load into the server, it says "No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgWorld.Tembelan'." Can someone people help me :(

[wise barn]

bin\config.bin/CfgWorld.Tembelan has nothing to do with CUP

[devout jacinth]

What is it?

[wise barn]

google is awesome
https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1252091296

[devout jacinth]

I'm using that map,, but it gives me the same error everytime, no matter what map I'm using. If it's Takistan the error is: bin\config.bin/CfgWorld.Takistan

[wise barn]

your mods seem to be corrupted

[devout jacinth]

welp. time to reinstall all my mods, thank you for the help man, really appreciate it :)

[tall wedge]

Thats nice to hear. Thank you!

[devout jacinth]

I've redownloaded CUP Terrians - core and the ace compatibility mod on both my pc and my server. It has yet to work, any advice?

[umbral narwhal]

CUP Terrains - Core doesn't do anything on its own.

What map are you actually trying to use?

[devout jacinth]

This one
https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1252091296

Any map that isn't a base game map doesn't want to work

[umbral narwhal]

Tembelan doesn't need any additional mods.

Most likely your server isn't actually succeeding in loading the mods.

If you paste your server RPT from an attempt at running a tembelan mission then I'll take a look.

[devout jacinth]

On it :)

[cosmic grove]

Has anyone here ever gotten Arma 3 to work with an Elgato Stream Deck? Either with AHK or SuperMacro or anything?

Hey anyone, could anybody tell me what JIP Type Messages are what? So like if im exporting the JIP Queue to an text file i get some Type_ Stuff, but how do i find out what is what?

[crisp garden]

this issue appeared again when launching arma 3 diagnostics

nvm, I'm able to launch it somehow now

[rigid locust]

so i've been having an issue on my server where everyone's weapons are essentially cooking off and firing 50-100 rounds per second, this goes for primary, secondary and launchers, vehicles are also affected by this as well. i have disabled overheating and cook off in the ACE settings so it definitely isn't that. anyone able to assist as this issue is driving me insane

[umbral narwhal]

How many other mods are you running?

[fallen vine]

This is causing me issues with playing on a mission I made

I am not familiar with any mod called that

[fringe salmon]

When me and my friends are in a multiplayer server, we are unable to switch seats in vehicles or get out of them. Does anyone know how I can fix this? We do use mods, and the server is hosted by one of my friends. The modlist is below.

[quaint jewel]

you can just click on Abort (Durdur) and it'll go away. Where exactly did you get that? while starting the game before main menu?

[mental river]

probably one of those mods is locking the vehicle

[pine kite]

Then it is likely your internet connection/router is blocking connection attempts from your friends. Make sure the UDP ports 2302-2306 are opened (port forwarded to your server IPv4 address) and likewise open in the computer firewall. (Unless you are renting a service) [EDIT: Nevermind, you found the #server_admins channel)

[crisp garden]

I was having this issue when starting arma3_diag.exe but it's no more showing up and starting correctly

[polar dirge]

Help! I've redownloaded the game at least a dozen times, I've done everything on all threads about the problem still not working.

It's stuck on this loading screen

When launching

Also I seem to not have a profile in the Arma 3 documents

Nvm, I got a buddy of mine to help, and it really worked.

Awesome

[elder sand]

What could cause me not being able to slot in on a dedicated server after I voted myself admin and selected a mission? Can change parameters, just not get into any slot nor do commands like #missions work anymore.
When I rejoin, do the same porcess again I suddenly can slot up.

[shrewd tiger]

I have a question , has anyone ever had an issue with Arma 3 mods (I think it's ace 3 from what I've read online) causing spawned vehicles to Not move forwards and backwards. I have checked my controls , and tried it with mods installed and without (the issue is gone if I uninstall all my mods) I have checked my bat file but cannot tell if anything is out of place

I'm convinced at this point that it's a mod causing it I'm just not shmure which one or how to find out which one ??!

[uncut trellis]

Disable ace and see if that works

[umbral narwhal]

Usually means ACE is installed on the client but not on the server.

[shrewd tiger]

Hmm I defo have it on my server but I will try that , if I can narrow it down to one mod that will be awesome

[fringe salmon]

Do you know how I might be able to find the mod? I just did a little "testing" and I think it only happens on the server hosted by my friends.

[mental river]

it was just a guess.

you can enable a debug console in the mission, and check if the vehicle is locked

[fringe salmon]

Ok, I'll go do that.

[shrewd tiger]

Hmmm I unloaded ace on my client and server and I'm getting an error saying z\ace\addons\main\script_mod.hpp not found

As soon as I load into the mission (antistasi) I can drive vehicles (but then it seems to run a script (moves my character a bit) and when I try to drive a car it doesn't move

[pine kite]

Maybe people in #server_admins have more experience with this situation. I never had this happen myself on my server in the past 2 years. But it's not really a public one, just for me. Consider posting there and removing here.

Steam Workshop downloader is no longer in service. How is everyone downloading mod files to get the PBO's?

[mental river]

Steam Workshop itself

[unreal wasp]

May I ask how? I can subscribe but need the mission PBO for upload to my server.

[mental river]

it gives you a .bin file

it's actually a PBO file. just change the extension

to find the mission, just get the mod ID from the workshop link, go to your steam workshop folder, find the ID, then copy the xxx_legacy.bin file somewhere

then rename it

example of mod ID:

hi, i was playing arma and my headset suddenly unpluged, i reconected the headset and since then i cant get audio to play when i launch the game trough launcher, if i launch it directly trough game files audio works but i dont get mod support and battleye so i cannot play multiplayer or mods, i set everything as administrator, backwards compatible, reseted output, reseted in-game settings, reinstaled the game, disabled mods everything i could think of but nothing :(

[slow bone]

my friend is having some problems with his arma can anoyne help with this?

[mental river]

tell him to repair his game

[rustic eagle]

Steam file verification process:
Right Click on game -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity of game files
Arma 3
Steam Workshop Mod repair process:
Open Launcher -> Right Click on mod -> Repair
The first process will automatically verify Steam Workshop items as well.

[slow bone]

he did that

he reinstalled it

and repaired it

[mental river]

does he get that error without running any mods?

[slow bone]

he will try without now

he verified and tried and the game gave another error

asking for 3 missing things

he is now downloading that and he will try to run it without mods

we will see

[pine kite]

Why doesn't he post screenshots here? Much easier

[slow bone]

i posted that one up there

and now he did verification

[pine kite]

the "another error"

[slow bone]

its asking for those files and its downloading them

ill post

he didnt screen it

[slow bone]

he said that his game is just starting

and its never ending

its just loading forever

[mental river]

Probably missing dependencies

Make sure vc++ 2013 redist is installed

[uncut trellis]

dont do silly custom modpacks that break mods. use the actual mods from the workshop

[umbral narwhal]

@open galleon Restart your router and cross your fingers.

[open galleon]

Ight i even verified 297.8gb of files

[umbral narwhal]

well, that isn't going to make any difference to UPNP.

[open galleon]

ik but just incase

[grim ginkgo]

this is the same prompt it comes up

but diffrent words

[pine kite]

Well, the different words matter. So it would be best if you actually wrote those down or screenshotted them. But the answer is probably the same as what was given to Miramar: Don't play buggy missions/scripts/mods. Tell the creator of it he has fixing to do.

[burnt imp]

Confirm your router has enabled UPnP.
Confirm nobody is using a VPN.

otherwise, watch this video guide

hi guys, im pretty new to arma so this could be a really dumb question: im driving an apc but my turret is stuck, i was shooting and driving but in the heat of the combat i must have clicked a button which made my turrent uncontrollable while im in third person, when i use right click i can use my mouse to move it...and i think in my gunner sight there is a red square and a number (distance maybe) which was not there. does someone know which button (or button combination) i clicked to lock my weapon, and how to regain control? 😄

disable/delete the mod and it should work again

[hot lynx]

it can help to find the mod ?

[heavy dock]

Does anyone know what the following means and how to fix it?

There's a missing texture, in this case the KP flag. iirc that's always missing with KP liberation. You can ignore it.

[heavy dock]

ok thank you

[shrewd tiger]

Can someone tell me how I would correctly disable membership for antistasi in this config file mine doesn't seem to work !!

[umbral narwhal]

You can just change it in the parameters button on the role selection screen.

Make sure autoinit is disabled, restart server and log in as admin.

Config file looks correct to me so it's probably not the one you're using :P

[shrewd tiger]

yeah i have auto init enable cos i want the mission to start straight away and be persistent is that not correct?

[umbral narwhal]

It doesn't do anything unless a player is connected anyway.

So autoinit is fairly pointless.

(and it prevents you changing parameters)

[shrewd tiger]

Doesn't it prevent the persistent battlefield when disabled?

[umbral narwhal]

no.

[pine kite]

It is the other way around. If you have -autoinit in the commandline, you NEED persistant=1; in the config. (if it is 0 then autoinit does not work. But the mission shuts down when the last player leaves too)

[pine kite]

One small error in it: "membership = 0" needs a semicolon after it before the closing curly bracket ending the Params class. But yeah, like John said, if you play the community version, easier is to use the saved mission parameters feature.

[umbral narwhal]

oh, config needs the trailing semicolon? I'm too used to SQF.

[median birch]

I'm getting an error message when starting arma. In my Arma3Profile in line 0: '.15': ;:", encountered instead of '='
How can I fix this? Verifying the file via steam didnt do anything

[umbral narwhal]

It's a text file. Open it with notepad and fix it.

[pine kite]

There is a syntax error in the profile.

[umbral narwhal]

If it's completely scrambled then delete the thing and Arma will recreate a default one.

[pine kite]

Who knows. Every router brand does things differently kind of. Restart it, see if UPnP starts working again. Log into it and check if it is still enabled. (some ISP turn it off because if can be considered a security issue) And consider just manually configure the port forwarding, and reserving the IPv4 address of your server computer for that.

[cyan silo]

hello, I am trying to install a list of mods for arma3. Few days ago, I was playing it without any mods in a public server. And now, when i load the mods back in the launcher, steam redownload all files again. How may I fix it?

[misty folio]

hi I'm trying to get the custom difficulty work on my nitrado server, I got to the point the mission is Custom difficulty but whatever I change in arma3.Arma3Profile it never seems to take. When I get into the mission I have no crosshair while I definetly have put weaponCrosshair = 1; // Weapon crosshair

is there anything I need to do extra to get it going ?

https://pastebin.com/gekcYUQu

this is my arma3.Arma3Profile atm

[upbeat spire]

For the server you need to change difficulty on server and not on arma profile. If you are hosting a server on a pc then you just change it in options. For dedicated server: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.armaprofile

[misty folio]

I'm renting a Nitrado server they have their dir setup like this

I'm altering the arma.Arma3Profile on this server location

maybe its the wrong location but I can't find another one on the server dirs

[upbeat spire]

I dont know what is that you dont even have server.cfg https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Server_Config_File myb somebody else who has expirience can help you here.

[misty folio]

well I did find their startup line in the logs

== "C:\SERVICES\ni2378779_1_SHARE\ftproot\arma3\arma3server.exe" -mod="" -serverMod="" -ip=85.190.149.75 -port=21400 -maxmem=3071 -enableHT -malloc=tbb4malloc_bi -profiles=config -config=config/server.cfg -cfg=config/basic.cfg -name=arma3 -loadMissionToMemory

this is how they boot the server

they seem to map everything ot the config folder

so the server.cfg is in : /arma3/config/

the arma3.Arma3Profile is in : /arma3/config/Users/arma3/

[umbral narwhal]

@misty folio Looks correct at a glance. Did you make sure you shut down the server before editing the profile?

(server overwrites it on exit)

[misty folio]

I uploaded it then restarted the server

mmmm ok

I'll shut it all donw

[umbral narwhal]

Need to shut down, upload, start.

[misty folio]

then upload

rgr

thanks worked like a charm now ... I've been trying for at least an hour or two to get this right

I did not know it overwrote the profile at shutdown it's also not shown in the logs it does that

[umbral narwhal]

I don't think it's written anywhere. It's sorta logical because the client stores config in the same file, but it's a gotcha for servers.

[burnt imp]

Follow the rules provided by this video:
https://youtu.be/rjX9hBrOaOM

[burnt imp]

It sounds like you might need to change the default mod folder to the folder your mods are located on the PC

[cyan silo]

D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\107410?

I found some downloaded files at D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\downloads\107410

[pine kite]

Downloads folder is a staging area I think. It ends up in the content folder once verified.

[glacial belfry]

anyone know?

nvm fixed it

[mental river]

how?

[glacial belfry]

when i set reshade MXAO(sample quality) on auto it turns my pc's screen black and crashes, so when i pressed play i got that error, but after i click play, the arma logo pops up and i click home(to open reshade) and just quickly switch to other saved setup

[olive berry]

i was in the arsenal on my server then all of the sudden everything went white

now all i see is a white screen and the sun

and i can kinda make out the outline of my gun

menus are fine

hud is fine

just the player view is messed up

it only seems to be happening on my units server, i loaded up a solo mission and everything is fine

[pine kite]

Then something with the mods is likely wrong on it. Have the admin remove mods to isolate the cause.

[rustic eagle]

Arma 3
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”

have you tried this

[twilit geyser]

What kind of stuff do the profile files hold? I removed them and it fixed a bunch of issues I was having

[umbral narwhal]

[username].arma3profile has keybinds, difficulty and most other game settings, although not all.

[username].vars.arma3profile generally has data stored by missions.

[twilit geyser]

Somehow my old profile files blocked me from saving any scenarios manually

Massively annoying stuff

[umbral narwhal]

It's possible for the vars file to get extremely large, although I'm not sure exactly what negative effects that has.

[jaunty jay]

How do I fix fps on multiplayer

[jaunty aurora]

just bought the game today, was able to get the game working with my g9 monitor mostly, however in cutscenes i get these random black bars. Is this an ultrawide issue or native to the game. Wasn’t able to find answers on google on this black bar issue. Thanks

[steady hawk]

This isn't an issue. It supposed to be a cinematic bar

And it's not that critical, you can just ignore

[steady hawk]

Also, your actual question, it is because just a bad coding that didn't take widescreen into the count (which can be fixed really easy) As I said, you can just ignore it (explained in #arma3_feedback_tracker)

[loud hemlock]

I'm having issues with my server where you get stuck on the loading screen here is server RPT

it sounds like the charactor is there just cant move around

but can hear sound

[quaint jewel]

that is caused by a postInit script never finishing, any mod can have bugged scripts and cause it

and you have way too many mods

Remove mods until its fixed

[loud hemlock]

hmm, it wast like this the other day with the same mods what could of changed, also weird note

it only does it to the first person who joins

is there a way to see errors specifically from postInit?

or do i just have to do the mod removal to narrow it down

[harsh ivy]

how can i disable freelook in helicopters

[pine kite]

Freelook with Alt key, to pan your head around? Or just 3rd person view? If the later, disable it entirely in difficulty options: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Difficulty_Settings The 1st option allows you to 3rd person anytime. 2nd option allows it in vehicles only. So if you don't want it at all, don't enable it.

What does it mean when errors throw that add an "N" to the front of the listed directory?

\na3_characters_f

It is probably an escaped representation of the new-line character (like a new line is generated when you press Enter key) but normally those should not show. Where did you find that exactly?

[pine kite]

No, Steam should take care of it automatically.

But you can use the 3 dots on the mod in the mods list in the launcher to repair/verify manually.

There is not much you can do other than set your game video settings to low.

the weird thing about this is some mods can allow me to access while some couldnt

[sullen void]

How can i fix this

It shows up when I release flares on aircrafts
After that error no flares are being display ingame

[uncut trellis]

Some mod has broken classes. You'll need to remove that mod until the maker fixes it.

Likely mod that name is related to ASBE mod tag

[fringe salmon]

Can ace cause the problem

[brave hawk]

Yes

[fringe salmon]

Aight imma test it out, if it don't fix imma keep monologuing like a schizophrenic

[uncut trellis]

you need to test without mods and then add mods in small batches to see where it breaks

[pine kite]

Actually, setting low performance settings might make it worse. It shifts GPU tasks to the CPU. @jaunty jay It is in a large part dependent on the performance of the server. But don't expect higher than 50-60 fps in multiplayer general. It's how Arma 3 works.

I have tried all of those none seem to work.

The only thing I haven't done is delete the game and redownload it.

[uncut trellis]

that is unlikely to solve anything

what is the exact error you get?

[wary frost]

Uh I am not currently at my pc so Idk really know what the exact code is and it only happens after like 40 minutes for some reason.

Nvm I found the code.

0xC000005

[umbral narwhal]

When exactly do you get the error?

[uncut trellis]

05 has sometimes been connected to sound issues. if you have usb headset (anything audio related that plugs into usb port wireless or wired) try unplug that and see if the game crashes less

[wary frost]

My guess is like around 40 minutes from when I join.

[wary frost]

My arctis headset is the only usb sound item I use.

[uncut trellis]

try playing with it unplugged and check out the pinned message about usb audio devices

[wary frost]

The issue with that is its my headset without it I have no audio

[uncut trellis]

yes but you will know if the headset is the problem

and perhaps then do something about it

[sullen wren]

Hey does anyone use AVAST security, if so how the hell do you get the UPNP working

[burnt imp]

For UPnP, it's as simple as enabling UPnP on your router AND checking UPnP when hosting your server.

If you cant enable UPnP in your router, check out this video for alternatives

[pure spindle]

how can I fix this error?

i've got tons of mods, but most all of them aren't buggy in the slightest

[umbral narwhal]

Apparently one of them is.

[proven rose]

why when i open up arma 3 it opens up my notepad

[haughty sierra]

I need some help

I unsubscribed to some mods hoping that they would delete but I never got my gigs back

[umbral narwhal]

Restart steam.

[sage basin]

was the remote control bug where you get locked in place ever fixed?

[grave raft]

Can someone help

[steady hawk]

!steamverify

[rustic eagle]

Steam file verification process:
Right Click on game -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity of game files
Arma 3
Steam Workshop Mod repair process:
Open Launcher -> Right Click on mod -> Repair
The first process will automatically verify Steam Workshop items as well.

[steady hawk]

Verify the game via this

Warlords awful performance for anyone else?

Like 30-50fps

[steady hawk]

30-50 is awesome performance

[tough olive]

On warlords?

[steady hawk]

Yes

More like overall

[tough olive]

I get over 120fps on other stuff tho

At pretty much Mac

max*

[golden nova]

arma is not "other stuff"

[tough olive]

bro what

I mean like practically everything else

Just warlords

That had a low fps

I can run a scenario whilst running like 20gb of mods and still push over 100fps

[fringe salmon]

ace is causing humvees to be immortal

help?

this is the modlist im using

(I have removed ace)

[golden nova]

I am getting reports that one of my mods has some issues with bikey. I built all the PBOs with addon builder, signed them using DSUtils and there were no errors during the process. All PBOs are in @MyMod/Addons folder including the .bisigns, .bikey is in @MyMod/Keys folder. However few users get this error: https://prnt.sc/A2AaF69o_YHl and I wonder how am I supposed to troubleshoot this. The only thing that brought my attention is that my directories and PBOs have capitalized letters (MoreAVS.pbo) and error shows them with all small (moreavs.pbo). I tested the mod on my own bare metal and works perfectly so I am not sure what's wrong. I'd appreciate any ideas

[steady hawk]

Did you verified your addon's signs? Through Launcher's parameter

[golden nova]

I didn't do that before because it worked on my dedicated server, but I just did and it shows "PASSED" for all files

[steady hawk]

🤔 Perhaps try pboProject instead?

[golden nova]

I'll try that too

[mental river]

do you change the key name with every new version of your mod?

e.g. with an added version, like CBA and ACE do?

[golden nova]

no, the key name stays the same

[fringe salmon]

[mental river]

Do you load the ACE compats?

[fringe salmon]

yeah

[fringe salmon]

there

the mods without ace

but i load this

[mental river]

No I mean RHS compatibility mods

[fringe salmon]

i have

one guy told me its that way for mission makers

to stop convoys without killing anyone

idk what to do

@mental river update: its very easy to blow up stuff without crew

[mental river]

Then maybe that's why

Did you check ACE settings to see if there's an option for making vehicles immortal?

[fringe salmon]

no

i did mess around with vehicle damage

nothing changed

ok

so

vehicles can get blown up

if there is no crew inside

wtf

vehicles are immortal
only if crew is inside
like abrams gets blownup 2 ieds below it
but like
50 if it has crew

[burnt imp]

You could re-install ace and then uncheck the lower damage option in the difficulty options. This would also fix invincible vehicles.

[fringe salmon]

Will try thanks for the help

[burnt imp]

Your FPS is limited by the multiplayer server you are playing on. The server is the bottleneck, not your PC. This is normal

[frosty wren]

Hi all. Any ideas hot to fix that no any visual effect of gunshot at night? (not flash) Is it bug or feature?

[golden nova]

do you use any mods?

[frosty wren]

no, just "contact" dlc

[fringe salmon]

i had a question but i said it in the wrong channel

im going to say it here

it says bin\config.bin/cfgvehicles/LIB_armouredCar_base/destructioneffects/light2/: cannot find base class light1

[golden nova]

issue with IFA3 mod

and it's not a question

[fringe salmon]

oh sorry

[golden nova]

assuming the weapon is not suppressed it might be a game bug or low graphic settings, have you tried repairing the game through Steam?

and does it happen to certain weapon or all weapons

[frosty wren]

It happends with all weapons. And I have maximal graphic settings

upd. Enemies have no flash, but if i take their gun, I have it from my own shots

[fringe salmon]

my thirdperson view doesn't seem to be working though i have it enabled via custom difficulty?
everything else in custom difficulty is working but that

[golden nova]

in your own game or on some server

[fringe salmon]

on my server

its worked in the past

just not now

why doesnt IFA3 aio work?

[fringe salmon]

it does i'm using it right now

oh it crashes my game

try repairing it maybe?

how?

right click on mod in the list and click repair

[tough olive]

Thanks for the reply - it seems an issue on all official warlords servers so just wondering if I had a problem anywhere. I'm getting a new GPU anyway so if it works alright I'll see if it makes any difference to peformance

[fringe salmon]

no it didnt work

thanks tho

have u tried verifying arma 3 files?

yeah

should i do it again?

[burnt imp]

Nice! Just don't expect much improvement on the warlords servers

[tough olive]

I'll be intrigued to see if I can push more than 60 lmao will be interesting

[tawny wharf]

can someone help me with the A3 launcher?

if that's ok here

It says that i do not have the game on steam

but i do

[uncut trellis]

this is the place. Try verifying the game files perhaps

[tawny wharf]

i did that before

didnt work

[uncut trellis]

you could try running steam install again. perhaps something broke in steam

or try just basic computer restart

[tawny wharf]

i will reinstall

i've had this problem for 2 months now so reinstall might work

[spare shell]

While zeusin, it often happens that when I'm controlling a unit, and die as him, my game bugs out and I can't return to my main body, but die as the controlling unit. Any idea how to stop this as I have to restart the game to fix it?

[golden nova]

vanilla?

[spare shell]

Modded

Just cup and rhs

@golden nova

[golden nova]

I know this issue is frequent when you use Achilles, do you take control of units preplaced or spawned in zeus?

[spare shell]

Achilles is included, and yes units spawned via zeus

[golden nova]

it might be an issue of Achilles then. Most vulnerable module is the second "Control unit" one, don't remember its name, I recommend switching to Zeus Enhanced if possible

[spare shell]

What is the difference with zeus enhanced? I've been using Achilles for years.

Don't know any different

[golden nova]

ZEN is similar to Achilles, it's a rewrite to make the code up to date with newest A3 version. Adds a lot of cool quality-of-life stuff too

I ditched Achilles because of that unit control bug, doesn't happen to me anymore

[spare shell]

Oh, thats great to hear then. It still has stuff like garrison, loiter, etc?

I'll switch and try it out)

[golden nova]

yes, the only thing it's missing i think is the "Switch Unit" module and something with artillery fire, but the latter doesnt matter if you use something like LAMBS or any other AI overhaul that already adds this

[spare shell]

Alrighty then. Perfect thanks

[rustic ibex]

Can someone help whenever I port forward it doesn't say it failed or anything like that and I run a mission and everything is fine but no one can connect to my server Ive been trying to play with my friend all week and still no hope its getting really frustrating

[fringe salmon]

How do I prevent my arma load order from changing when I run the game?

[robust karma]

I am going through the singleplayer again and I am encountering a problem. The hints aren't showing up when I press the button for it. I will get a message on the right such as "Targeting Camera - Press [Left ctrl+H] for more details, but pressing it doesn't work, even when I set different key for it

[topaz field]

everytime i open arma this happend

[steady hawk]

Untick "server" parameter on Launcher

[burnt imp]

Watch this guide. It addresses this problem. There are 3 different methods you can use.
https://youtu.be/rjX9hBrOaOM

thx mate

[burnt imp]

Oh gosh. It is possible to set your own load order, but it requires some programming of a batch file.

Search through this discord history, because somebody explained how they do it.

I have also tried this vanilla and no change

[umbral narwhal]

Sanity check: Set weaponCrossHair=1 and check that it works.

[fringe salmon]

it does

[umbral narwhal]

Curious

Are you sure you're not running any mods, and you don't have another copy of class DifficultyPresets in the profile?

[fringe salmon]

im wondering if there is another copy of the custom difficulty buried in there somewhere cuz i've tried everything

[umbral narwhal]

They're usually not that long on a server...

Like most of it is keybinds on a client.

[fringe salmon]

i may have to do a complete wipe and start from scratch

[dense tulip]

Unable to pass campaign mission tipping point, everything is fine till the very end. When the jets blow up the ships I don’t pass the mission I just die and get the screen to load a save or quit

Tried about ten different runs of the mission and hasn’t worked once

[golden nova]

do you play with mods?

[fringe salmon]

so i have wiped my server to vanilla no mods and still third person wont work with custom difficulty? wtf is going on?

[steady hawk]

Because the difficulty disables it?

[fringe salmon]

how so?

[steady hawk]

I don't know. You showed me nothing

Also, it is possible to have a mission that disables TPP

[fringe salmon]

class DifficultyPresets
{
class CustomDifficulty
{
class Options
{
reducedDamage=0;
groupIndicators=0;
friendlyTags=0;
enemyTags=0;

};

// MISSIONS CYCLE
class Missions {
class ARMA3 {

};
};

so with this current setup no thirdperson

[steady hawk]

Are you sure that the file is located in the correct location?

[fringe salmon]

yes

everything else in the custom difficulty is working but thirdperson

i've never had this issue before

[steady hawk]

Please answer in the exact location where it is, not Y/N

[fringe salmon]

/arma3/config/Users/arma3/arma3.Arma3Profile

[steady hawk]

I don't know where it is. More specifically please

The first arma3 folder means what?

[fringe salmon]

this is on a dedicated server through nitrado thats where it starts

[steady hawk]

Are you sure that it works than the TPP option? Did you verified that the file is loaded properly?

[fringe salmon]

yes the difficulty in the server says custom

the crosshair is now turned off

and my markers are off

[steady hawk]

How about, eg Tactical Ping? It's now on and what if you turn it off?

[fringe salmon]

will try that

yes tactical ping is now turned off

[steady hawk]

Fine, so... just, just in case, make sure you're hitting the correct key to enter TPP

[fringe salmon]

yes i am pressing the toggle view bind which works when in regular difficulty

[steady hawk]

Also, which mission you're testing on? Is that an empty one with just a soldier nothing else?

[fringe salmon]

MP_COOP_m01.Stratis;
its just a vanilla escape mission with one squad

have also tried this on 3 other missions and no luck with custom but all work fine with regular difficulty

[steady hawk]

Hmm out of clue...

[fringe salmon]

yea i've used this file for all the previous missions i've hosted over the years now no luck

[pine kite]

Are you forcing the name of the profile to be used? Like with the -name parameter? Or is the name of the profile you changed different than the profile used to start the game. Usually by default it takes the name of the operating system user that starts the server.

Somewhere in the folderstructure you would find a arma3profile for that user. If you didn't make it, then the server will.

[dense tulip]

Yes but the whole campaign had worked up to this point

[golden nova]

maybe it contains some unique script that becomes broken due to mods

[umbral narwhal]

You seriously played it through 10 times without trying to unload mods? :D

[dense tulip]

Yea, i thought it might be that but I was super sleep deprived and just thought it would fix itself. I’ll try unloading it and see if it works

[burnt imp]

I know the original ace mod does prevent you from completing some missions in the vanilla campaign

[spare shell]

using zeus enhanced, in zeus, how can i add an icon over the head of spawned in players so i can interacty with them?

[slow comet]

I'm assuming you want to make them editable? Under the "zeus" module, place down "update editable objects"

[fossil silo]

Has anyone ever figured out what the bad_module_info?

[dense tulip]

So I unloaded everything and it didn’t work, I used a script to give me the mission complete and I got the steam achievement but didn’t unlock the next episode, I tried using the campaign unlock code, I updated to the dev branch and tried the code but it still won’t let me progress to the next mission

[fringe salmon]

The desktop that I play on has a GTX 950 2gb, an i7-6700k @4.00GHz, 16gb of ram, and has a HDD.

Any idea on how to optimize ARMA 3 for it?

[umbral narwhal]

950 is a bit weak even for Arma so you'll probably want to start from standard quality.

iis that your internet service provider?

oor your router/modem?

[trim bloom]

yes

this is what it allows me to type in

https://www.wikihow.com/Port-Forward-on-Spectrum

[uncut trellis]

you proably just type in the ports and save and then add another rule

[trim bloom]

which ports do i type in?

which one is internal, which is external?

[uncut trellis]

!localhost

[rustic eagle]

Arma 3
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]

both are the same

[trim bloom]

so make multiple that go internal:2302 external:2302, internal:2303, external:2303 and so on?

[uncut trellis]

possibly

never seen system like that

Yes. That is what you need to do.

If I click "play as this character" it works but if I try to load in the normal way it doesn't get past the menu

[umbral narwhal]

@trim bloom Some routers will allow syntax like 2302-2306 without documenting it. Others are garbage and require you to forward each port individually.

what error message you get

No error message on my end, but its "Modified data" or something like it.

[umbral narwhal]

Oh, so it is actually getting some sort of connection through?

Is this a dedicated server or local hosted?

modified data can mean you are not running same content

like

i have a very beefy computer

it's capable of beyond 60fps

but for some reason its normal max fps gets interrupted with a very noticeable freeze whenever a character renders, or at least that seems to be the trigger

[burnt imp]

It sounds like your friend is using a different mod. The DLC doesnt matter unless you're trying to get on a Terrain that you dont own the DLC to.

[pine kite]

It needs to be UDP ports 2302-2306 though. If your app only allows to set TCP ports then it won't work.

Individual ports is not a bad thing, just cumbersome to set up. But it is only once.

@burnt imp really ? That seems crazy. DayZ Tools let me extract wherever I wanted.

for most stable Arma 3 mod dev setup you will want to use Mikeros toolse, simple subst command to mount your drive from where you want itt and Arma3P to extract the data

PMCwiki has steps on that

[burnt imp]

I read your question incorrectly. Please excuse me. But, I am not familiar with the Arma 3 Tools to know

[solid mulch]

@uncut trellis ok thanks

[spare shell]

Hello, I require some help please.

After editing a loadout of a soldier in the editor, and having respawns enabled, After death and respawn, he recieves his original gear, not the ones i gave him.

I found a fix for this online

// initplayerlocal.sqf file
[player, [missionnamespace, "virtualinventory"]] call Bis_fnc_saveinventory;

// onplayerrespawn.sqf
[player, [missionnamespace, "virtualinventory"]] call Bis_fnc_loadinventory;

So i went into documents - my arma3 profile - the file of the mission where the mission.sqm file is, and made 2 text files called initplayerlocal.sqf with its text, and onplayerrespawn.sqf with its text, saved both as other files so they're not text files, reloaded the mission, and it still isnt working.

@ocean cosmos any ideas? :(

[ocean cosmos]

go into file/open scenario folder in 3den

see if theyre in there

[rare tree]

Why can’t my friends join my Arma 3 server? I port forwarded properly, then started up the server (on internet) and gave the the IP and password, and they were able to connect, but were stuck on an infinite loading screen

[burnt imp]

Hmm...it sounds like an issue with the mission file.

You port forwarded properly if your friends can connect at all.

So the issue is something else

[rare tree]

I tried running the base game, no DLC or mods, and running apex protocol. All of us have the apex dlc, but I’m unsure what the issue is. Should I try reinstalling arma?

[burnt imp]

Which mission or scenario did you attempt to play on?

[rare tree]

Heart of darkness

[burnt imp]

Im assuming that's the Apex mission.

[rare tree]

Yes

[burnt imp]

And that everyone is having the same issue?

[rare tree]

Yes

[burnt imp]

Are you using a VPN?

[rare tree]

No

Might be a firewall, but I don’t think I have any set up

Just checked. Only firewall set up is windows defender

[burnt imp]

Windows by default has a firewall. Go into it and add Arma3.exe and Arma3_64.exe are allowed in private and public network.

[rare tree]

K. I added it

Thanks for the help. Later today I will troubleshoot it with my friends once they are online

[rare tree]

Unfortunately my friends are still stuck on the infinite loading screen

[burnt imp]

Check if your router is running a firewall and/or VPN.

Im also told if you are using a 5G home network such as Verizon or TMobile, you cant host.

[rare tree]

No VPN or firewall, my friends only see the loading screen when joining from the launcher, if they try to join from server browser nothing happens. I reinstalled but it still wont work.

I’m running the normal arma thing do I need to run arma_64 or something? Idk what’s causing the issue

[burnt imp]

Are any of your friends using a VPN?

[rare tree]

I believe so

[burnt imp]

They need to turn off any VPNs

[rare tree]

K. I will tell them that. They also said they couldn’t see my server on the friends list in the server browser (i have them added on steam). Dunno if it’s privacy settings or other, or if it’s completely unrelated

UPnP I’ve tested, it does successfully port forward on my thing (saying this just in case i didn’t port forward successfully, though I believe I did)

[burnt imp]

Yeah you port forwarded correctly if they can see your game at all. (direct connect to an IP address does not count)

The fact that they can't see your server on the server browsers means one of the following:

1. Your game info on Steam is not public to your friends (you need to change that)
2. You actually have not port forwarded successfully

Watch this guide for a comprehensive review:
https://youtu.be/rjX9hBrOaOM

I have it set so that game info is public to friend. I'll watch the tutorial now

Are there any extra steps I would need to take if I’m using 2 routers?

[pine kite]

Both routers would need the port forwarding. Else one will block data comming from the internet if one of them is behind the other

I fixed the port forward on the router I’m connected to, the other router I am not currently connected to although it has proven to be somewhat clunky in the past. Worst case scenario, I have set up a VLAN network and given the instructions on how to join to my friends

[rare tree]

@burnt imp thank you for your help, the VLAN seemed to work in the end

Hi my friend is having an issue where and I quote” I go into a thing both server and single player no mods and mods and a little bit after it freezes then soon after crashes” he’s tried fixes like reinstalling the game and initialising his files, if anyone knows anything else he can do that would be much appreciated

does the RPT say anything?

!rpt

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.

Hey all! I'm getting this error every time I launch Arma 3 with Battleye enabled:

6/8/2022 7:49:03 PM - Blocked loading of file 'C:\Windows\System32\XAudio2_7.dll'

The game launches but there is absolutely zero audio. I've tried running all the steam, arma, and battleye exes as administrator and not, I've redownloaded directx and let it reinstall, and lastly tried swapping back from the profiling beta but nothing seems to work except for disabling battleye which means I can't play with my friends

@foggy atlas Could try running sfc /scannow from an adminstrator command prompt.

[fringe salmon]

Followed this,
but am getting https://gyazo.com/206ce349198781fd98977d3ceeb267e6
any clues?

[uncut trellis]

not really, maybe try reinstalling in case something did not install right

and if that does not help might need to ping Mikero for guidance 😅

[hexed mist]

I'm using this in my server.cfg

class AdvancedOptions
{
LogObjectNotFound = false; // logging enabled
SkipDescriptionParsing = false; // parse description.ext
ignoreMissionLoadErrors = false; // do not ingore errors
};

But I'm still getting Log Object Not Found spamming in the logs.

When my friends used to host servers I could see their servers under the friends tab but now all of a sudden nothing shows up when they host them?

[late falcon]

Not sure if this is the best place to ask but,

I'm having issues where two people in my friend group are consistently disconnecting from our LAN server. We're using ZeroTier to host. I was wondering if anyone may have had similar issues or know of a fix?

[quaint jewel]

it only disables one of the two object not found. there is server and client

[burnt imp]

That problem can be caused by a long list of small changes. Watch this video for all of the info you need

[wet coyote]

someone else had a similar problem with the aio installer. manually download depbo64.installer. if that doesn't work, do the same for pboProject.
@dim void ^

on the other hand, if you're not using aio, then there's your answer.

seems to be working ❤️

Hi i can't launch arma 3 with steam on Linux

i have to turn off steam and launch the game with arma 3 unix launcher so it will launch the game

if i launch game from steam i get error with Direct3D 11 engine

I am using nvidia gpu on Fedora 36

[pine kite]

People get Arma 3 working on linux installed as the windows version with Proton as far as I know. And make it work with custom commandline as the launcher does not work in linux.

Linux had a native version around 1.86 iirc. But it is obsolete as the Windows version is much older (2.10) and won't connect to it.

[sly stone]

i know

i use the nolauncher command to disable official Launcher

i've tested few proton version (GE 7.20, 6.3, 7.0.2 and experimental)

all gave the same error

[tough olive]

Update! Had some trouble getting it working but I think it is good now
