arma3_troubleshooting

[tough olive]

Pushing a cool 75fps in warlords which is almost double what it was before

[fringe salmon]

Every so often my game will crash and say E_OUTOFMEMORY even though I still have tons left. What causes this?

[sly stone]

interesting

[pine kite]

Multiplayer?

[sly stone]

yes

[pine kite]

That is probably why. FPS is in a strong way server dependent.

[umbral narwhal]

Nah, server can run at 5fps and clients barely notice.

26% CPU usage is actually quite high for Arma :P

[tribal wadi]

How do you get rid of fog/altitude. It's impossible to see when flying

[umbral narwhal]

Increase draw distance. Must be allowed by the server, and will hurt frame rates.

[burnt imp]

What software benchmark is that?

[tough olive]

That's MSI afterburner with Rivatuner statistic server

[burnt imp]

What did you do to improve your FPS?

[tough olive]

Ahh I just bought a new GPU and warlords seems to run better

Still 75fps is not amazing but I respect at least 60

[foggy zealot]

My friend's game crashes right when he goes to load into my server and gets this in the error
C:\Users\vince\AppData\Local\Arma 3\MPMissionsCache\NitrousGaming.Altis.pbo - unknown

Already re-verified arma, deleted and redownloaded the mission file

and set launch parameters to -noSplash -cpuCount=8 -maxMem=16384-malloc=system

[serene pilot]

player model sometimes goes invisible in 3rd person, and player becomes invulnerable. Anybody know a cause for this?

[mental river]

never seen it before

must be one of your mods

[serene pilot]

CUP and JRSR

player is invisible (from his own perspective) in 3rd person. Ai will continue to shoot at the player, but will not be able to hurt them.

[mental river]

sounds like something is calling hideObject on you

[foggy zealot]

any idea on my issue leopard

[mental river]

That's not an error

it's just saying it can't guess the pbo size or something like that

[foggy zealot]

well its crashing his game with a status access violation sooo..

[mental river]

Post the full error

[mental river]

Tell him to turn off all those max ram and vram nonsense

They usually cause problems

[foggy zealot]

he didnt have it in the first place

i told him to try adding them to fix it, it fixed it for me.

not for him

[mental river]

Is that all of the rpt? There should be more

If it crashes at that point I think it can't even init directx for him

Can he even play the game normally?

[tribal wadi]

I tried to put server and client on 12k/40k but the fog remains I even picked no fog on mission option

[umbral narwhal]

Are you running with any mods?

[tribal wadi]

Yes

[sly stone]

MangoHud

Linux only

Windows have rivatuner

[native comet]

I just freshly installed arma and its giving me errors. Addon A3 Boat requires some other addon. Its freshly installed i dont understand why it would be giving me issues

Running on Default barebones no mods DLCs and it still says Addon A3 Boat Requires addon A3 Boat F Gamma

Verifying files now

[steady hawk]

Verify should work

[native comet]

looks like steam forgot to include some files

yup it worked

[sly stone]

When i launch Steam using igpu it launches arma 3 well

without any workarounds

[fringe salmon]

No one could notice this major graphic issue?

[umbral narwhal]

Experiment with Nvidia and Arma graphics settings until it goes away.

I would guess it's something non-default, otherwise it'd hit more people.

[fringe salmon]

I tried a lot of things Arma settings related, nothing could fix this problem

Regarding NVIDIA settings, I tried too a lot of different settings

[umbral narwhal]

You're not trying to run it with RTX on are you?

[fringe salmon]

No

I just reinstalled Windows and I got this result

[mental river]

Does 3090 Ti even have game ready drivers?

I heard it didn't

[fringe salmon]

Idk I will check that now

Yes it is a Game Ready Driver according to the NVIDIA Download Center

I am using this

https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/189681/en-us

I heard some people having this same issue on other games, they had to downgrade the driver in order to fix the problem 😕

I also tried this and no way, it is the same

[umbral narwhal]

Are you saying it worked fine before you reinstalled windows?

[fringe salmon]

Before I reinstalled windows, I was on a RTX 2080 Ti

So yeah it worked

A friend runs well the game with a RTX 3090

The Ti version ruins everything

[fringe salmon]

It should be in a way the same driver?

[tough olive]

Game runs well for me too no issues with drivers so far

*using 3090

[umbral narwhal]

I mean, it's the same hardware :P

[fringe salmon]

Not really I upgraded everything on my config

[tough olive]

have you tried the studio drivers I heard something about using them

[fringe salmon]

No, I will check that

[tough olive]

Try it

hopefully will help ig

[fringe salmon]

Thanks for the advice

[dawn karma]

Hi. A friend of mine is trying to play arma 3 with his new computer, but he cannot log in due to the 0x000005 error. I got the RPT log from him, but I couldn't understand the reason, is there anyone who can help?

[umbral narwhal]

crashing in amdxx32.dll whatever that is. Any particular reason why he's running 32-bit Arma?

[dawn karma]

Thanks for the info. We're looking right now.

[burnt imp]

Try forcing 64-bit in parameters

[sly stone]

ok, wtf, accidentally nuked my home directory so installed steam as linux native instead of flatpak, game launches flawlessly without any workarounds, even Launcher works which according to wiki shouldn't

[burnt imp]

Which version of Arma 3 do you have installed?

[fringe salmon]

arma is saying cloud operation is unsuccessful

how do i fix it

just got the game and very unfortunate

[burnt imp]

I'm not sure. But I will send some links I found: https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/220399-arma-wont-start/

https://www.cbackup.com/articles/the-cloud-operation-was-unsuccessful.html

It looks like the problem is likely due to OneDrive. That second link supposably has some solutions

Arma 3 gets brought into this problem, probably, because Arma 3 saves files in the Documents folder, and OneDrive then tries to sync the Documents folder to the cloud

[fringe salmon]

@burnt imp fixed it i love you

[burnt imp]

Any time! If you don't know where to start playing the game, watch this short guide: https://youtu.be/UKHvPSi6PR0

[zinc fractal]

does anyone know how to create a simple carrier spawn

[fringe salmon]

this is more of a windows question, but how do I make it so arma doesn't minimize when I click off of it?

I use arma fullscreen btw

[mental river]

afaik that's only possible with Fullscreen Window

[viral monolith]

I accidentally unbinded h from the "press to show more details" thing, where can I find that binding in controls?

[sly stone]

Windows with proton GE 7.20

Common > Last Help

[burnt imp]

I meant game version. 1.8, 2.2, etc?

[sly stone]

newest

[dull sand]

hey there

Every time I make myself admin and do #missions on a public official zeus, I get "session lost". Has anyone else been experiencing this?

[fringe salmon]

My friends arma keeps crashing with error 0x0000041D. It happens around 10 minutes after entering a mission. Is there any fix for this? We tried reinstalling the game, validating the game files, used the -malloc=system command, nothing worked.

[pine kite]

Best state the number. Latest native linux version is 1.8something. Latest Windows version is 2.08 Big difference to troubleshoot your problem

In the launcher the Options gear at the top bar shows versions of launcher and of game. In Windows the details tab of the executable also shows the version. I don't know how that works in Linux.

[sly stone]

2.08.149102

game works fine

just confused that after reinstalling steam Launcher works

ootb

while wiki says that it does not on Linux

[pine kite]

Hard to say for sure what is the cause. The exit code is generated by the operating system. And is not a commonly found error for Arma 3: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_process_exit After Googling for that error code, it appears to be related to it taking too long for starting a service. This might be the Battleye anti-cheat service. That is the only service I am aware of in relation to Arma 3. So make sure your virus/malware scanner is not blocking it. And maybe reinstall battleye.

[foggy zealot]

My friend gets "battleye initialization failed" when joining my server after i enabled battleye

he can join others servers fine and I can join my own fine.

[umbral narwhal]

Is this a remote dedicated server?

[pine kite]

Also, does your friend have Battleye enabled in the Battleye tab of the launcher. As it seems to be coming from his game, computer not able to start it.

[foggy zealot]

yes and yes.

he can join other battleye servers just not mine

[night marsh]

Anyone here know why you can't use custom compositions, but Steam downloaded ones are fine?

[foggy zealot]

any idea on the battleye initialization failed issue..

[foggy zealot]

port 2306 wasnt port forwarded..

[umbral narwhal]

It wasn't a remote DS then?

Like if 2306 wasn't forwarded and it was a remote server, then you wouldn't have been able to connect to it either.

[foggy zealot]

It’s hosted off my server in my network

Was forwarded in fwd but not my router

[slow dawn]

When I open Arma 3 server lists on my windows 10 PC, my internet starts acting weird and not working correctly! My browser stopped working, discord does not work, but Teamspeak works smoothly. But when I exit the steam.exe, everything works as it is.

I already tried these fixes:

2 - HKEY Current User > Software > Valve > Steam ( CafeRate = 1000-9000)```
I have an old-school router (iBall iB-WRB150N), and it doesn't have any DDOS protection, so I can't disable it.

I appreciate any help you can provide.

[mental river]

Try lowering the server pings in steam client

Not sure if that's something you already tried

[slow dawn]

Do you mean this?

[pine kite]

That is indeed the Battleye port. Whoever hosts, has to forward that port.

[foggy zealot]

Yep

That needs to be documented on the dedicated server setup page or something

[pine kite]

It is listed: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Dedicated_Server#Port_Forwarding

[foggy zealot]

I couldn’t find it anywhere I just put 2 and 2 together and took a shot in the dark

[slow dawn]

It doesn't fix my issue.

[pine kite]

See if your firewall software/internet security software has such a ping/attack limiter option.

[slow dawn]

No, dear, I already disabled my windows firewall and didn't have any antivirus software.

[chilly drift]

Yo help im havin trouble wit arma 3 everytime i play and play i for like 10 minutes the game freezes and when i go to home screen/pit the tab away or use ctrl escape to go to home screen the arma 3 map cursor is still there and it is as if thr gane thinks its still running i cant interact with the screen. this has happened 5 times now and im getting tired of it. Im playing the arma east wind campaign and have just completed air superiority(this also happened while i tried to play the mission and went into the map) anyone got any idea how to fix this

[chilly drift]

Now it just freezes randomly 😞 could this be a Ram issue? This has started to become annoying asf the only way i can fix it is by using task manager 😡

[umbral narwhal]

If it's freezing rather than crashing then it's more likely to be a disk issue than a RAM issue. Check the windows event log for errors.

[chilly drift]

What kind of disk issue could it be?

im really starting to lose faith in this bs can someoone help it just freexes

[pine kite]

Make sure Arma 3 is set to display as Fullscreen Windowed. Should handle alt tabbing/windows key use better. But if you meant to end Arma 3 executing then you should have just used the proper shutdown button/ menu option in the main screen.

[chilly drift]

I mean the game just freezes at random it hanst happened before

[pine kite]

You said Ctrl Escape can cause thise. Hard to say what is causing this. Open task manager and see if other programs are active in the background. Windows 10 taskmanager can also show if there is a lot of disk activity or if memory is running out. Whether or not that is caused by a failing disk or failing ram chips is an entirely other mater that it won't tell. You would have to do a disk surface check and or search the Eventmanager for such occurances and reports.

Also keep check on if this happens in the same mission. Or if this occurs when similar things are done in the game.

[alpine holly]

Hey I was wondering if anyone could help me with some ingame server stuff over call

[chilly drift]

No i dont know what causes this its whenever i ctrl escape or use taskmanager it just shits itself and apears to be stull running on the screen(Game mouse cursor still visible on home screen and the screen is non interactable

[ocean cosmos]

Does it happen when you alt tab out too

[chilly drift]

It just freezes when loading the staet of the mission loook

I can mocw the fkn cursor thingy but cant interactttt

Some one plsss help 😭 😭 😭

I JUST WANT TO PLAY SOME ARMA 3 😭 😭

[chilly drift]

It has mever frosem like this before could be a cprrupted campaign file or something

[bronze river]

ever tried verify game files on steam?

[pine kite]

Ok, the obvious question that should have been asked before @chilly drift are you running any mods too?

[bronze river]

or try to revert the mission

[pine kite]

Not on my SSD anyway. And no application should cause that to happen. It makes you wonder if it just crashed under load (and was unstable beforehand). This is a hardware/operating system issue. Not by Arma 3.

[fringe salmon]

Problem: I keep having this issue with my Arma 3 Publisher where it will not launch no matter what I do, though all the rest of my Arma 3 tools will launch.
Things Attempted: I have attempted the following.

• Reinstalling it
• Verifying Files
• Launching from directory
• Putting in compat mode
• Using someone's else file of said publisher
• Completely reinstalling steam
• Using a different computer

With all these problems I need assitance to fix it seeing I make mods for my unit.
Thank you for your support.

[chilly drift]

No

[pine kite]

If you guess it is a corrupt campaign then verify your Arma 3 install in Steam. Can never hurt to do that. I wouldn't jump to conclusions though. Try finding out if other applications in the background are taking CPU time/resources at that time. Or if stuff is happening in the game world that just slows it down.

[chilly drift]

I did and it succesfully validated and frose again😭

[pine kite]

Then it has a different cause

[ocean cosmos]

likely a hardware issue if its still dying

[deep briar]

Anyone play Arma 3 on linux? Got any tips to make game run better?

[chilly drift]

Question could it be the wifi shitting itself?

[ocean cosmos]

are you playing single player

[chilly drift]

Yes

[ocean cosmos]

no.

[chilly drift]

What can it be then?

[young jackal]

I have 2 profiles on arma i want to use the other one but with the binds and everything of the original so I copy and paste the .vars.Arma3Profile etc but whenever I load up with the new one it resets it entirely does anyone know how to fix

[pine kite]

The game settings and controller settings and keybinds are in the other .arma3profile. That is just text file. You may be able to selectively copy and past this. The .vars file is more of a binary file and copy pasting parts of that wil cause it to go corrupt. It contains mission data from certain missions you played. If you want to transfer it to another profile do so in its entirety and only rename it to the new profile in the 'Arma 3 - Other Profiles' folder. But always make sure you keep backups of the files you intend to change.

[cedar robin]

Arma 3 is not letting me to launch any missions in eden, I've tried verifying file integrity and reinstalled the game.
It's asking me to purchase altis and all the other maps before I can play it

I played the Art Of War showcase and from that point nothing wants to work

All my mods are freaking out aswell, I did a full uninstall but my arma 3 launcher still remembered all my mods and it's saying they are all corrupted

I even unsubscribed from all of them before the uninstall

[steady hawk]

Any errors messages?

[cedar robin]

Absolutely nothing

I've got around 4.5k hours and I'm completely lost

I deleted all my stuff from documents and I'm reinstalling it now again

Deleted Arma 3 tools aswell

[cedar robin]

I got myself zeus in the Art Of War showcase through ace zeus options, ever since then I can play singleplayer vanilla or dlc missions but can't connect to any servers or open any map in eden

Just finished reinstalling mods are still freaking out

https://i.imgur.com/1DoDmUd.png

Yeah it still doesn't work, going to try to reinstall steam

[uncut trellis]

Make sure you have not installed any non workshop mods into the Armas own addon folders

[cedar robin]

I haven't it's empty

https://i.imgur.com/2GzBg8f.png

[uncut trellis]

No that's workshop folder

Arma 3/addons is for Armas own files

But sometimes people drop stuff into there

[cedar robin]

I haven't touched them

My directory folder is empty aswell, yeah I'm going nuclear going to reinstall steam

https://i.imgur.com/K3a9ZK9.png

Now thinking about I should've deleted my appdata

stuff

and tried

[cedar robin]

Okay, deleted everything from documents, %appdata% local, and steam. It works now.

[young jackal]

i copied the entire file and pasted in new folder

[chilly drift]

Yo what does disabling launcher hardware acceleration do

Does anyone know what i can do about my game freezing but me still being able to use the cursor but not interact with the screen

[chilly drift]

Its fixed now i reinstalled and put it into windowed fullscreen

[burnt imp]

Rename all of the files and folders to a different one from the original profile

[young jackal]

i tried that alr it still goes from like 300kb file size to 17

whenever the game is loaded

i need to know how to make the game accept the infomation and not reset it all

[burnt imp]

Whenever I have done this, I have not copied the entire folder. I moved the PROFILE.Arma3Profile and the PROFILE.vars.Arma3Profile to the second already existing profile. Then, I rename those to files to NEWPROFILE.Arma3Profile and NEWPROFILE.vars.Arma3Profile

[tawny mauve]

Evening yall

i need help with a frustrating issues i have been experiencing.
For sometime now in Arma 3 when getting on a server my FPS drops all the way down to 1 or 1 and 20 with severe freezes. It's usually announced by Teamspeak saying ''not connected to teamspeak'' and the message ends up being spammed rather violently for a period of time.

Any fixes ?

[waxen moss]

I'm trying out 3CB Factions for the first time and I'm getting the following error message:

What mods am I missing?

[umbral narwhal]

err, looks more like 3CB Factions is missing a bit of 3CB Factions.

[waxen moss]

Care to clarify?

Steam page says I got the required CBA and RHS stuff. Do I need all the 3CB stuff listed on the page?

[steady hawk]

It could be a corrupted 3CB install

!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]

Try to repair it

[umbral narwhal]

Nah, 3CB Factions doesn't depend on any 3CB stuff except itself. Do what Polpox said.

[waxen moss]

Thank you for your responses.

I'll take a look.

Update:
Yeah, that did the trick, thanks Polpox and John!

[cedar robin]

It started doing it again, I haven't done anything just played once on a server and installed some mods.

[dense imp]

Hello, I'm looking to troubleshoot some issues I'm having hosting multiplayer in ARMA 3, and I'm at a bit of a loss as to where to start. My ports are forwarded, and I suspect my issue may be system administrator related.

I can only get my server to be visible when I launch by directly launching the Arma3.exe from my steam folder- whereas the launcher fails. Launching from .exe seems to have some (very outdated) versions of mods I never play with any more and, despite this, when I host it downloads the mission file (in this case, Antistasi) successfully and shows "Antistasi Altis" as my current mission in the steam friends list, and is visible/joinable after I press "play".

Launching via the launcher does not have the "downloading mission data" popup when I click "play" and passes straight through to the player role-selection screen- this is the only context I have that indicates a difference between hosting on ARMA that was launched via launcher, and hosting on ARMA that has been launched straight from the .exe

Anyone know what's going on here?

[cedar robin]

Are you trying to host a dedicated server or a local server for your friends?

[dense imp]

local for friends

[pine kite]

Do you have any launch parameters enabled in the parameters tab?

[dense imp]

Doesn't look like it

I've noticed that the mission is named differently on a successful hosting through the .exe as opposed to the failed host via launcher

[pine kite]

If you seem to have outdated mods when you run the .exe then either you have a -mods parameter in the shortcut for it, or your addons folder is polluted.

At the very least make sure to verify the game through steam.

[dense imp]

Looks like this when successful... which it just successfully hosted for some reason, when I clicked host through the launcher (not by launching the game first)

That said, strangely- it should have SOG Prairie fire loaded and... doesn't.

Double checking that it's not magically working, now, for whatever reason

SOG unloaded for some reason

[pine kite]

If you play SOG then you need that cDLC enabled via the launcher first. But that is Altis.

[dense imp]

Even if I own it?

[pine kite]

Yes

[dense imp]

Interesting, alright

Lemme get that then

[pine kite]

It has a special DLC tab

[dense imp]

Err, sorry- I misread what you said

I thought you were talking about this: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2477276806

I own the DLC, I had it enabled (in the past)

it just disabled itself I think- or maybe I just disabled it when I was last trying to troubleshoot this

[dense imp]

That said, I was just able to successfully hit Host Server within the launcher (which previously wasn't working) and... it was joinable. Gonna load SOG and see if it also works

[pine kite]

If you own the DLC then you don't need the compatibility data

[dense imp]

One thing that's been consistent about ARMA is that it's always felt like astrology trying to get this stuff to work, lol.

yeah, I kinda figured that

Alright, so it appears to be an issue with SOG

Or something to do with me playing on not-Altis

[pine kite]

It does seem to change a bit how Arma is loaded.

[dense imp]

I can link the mods I have running, but I figure that's a can of worms as well

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/301174296095621121/986855929402249286/unknown.png

Sorry for it being faded, had the game running so it was blacked out slightly

[pine kite]

I would suggest to not load mods in the beginning. Get this working in a normal vanila way first. If it works as you would expect, then add mods.

[dense imp]

Fair

[pine kite]

You should also make sure those mods work together with SOG. Don't assume it does.

[dense imp]

Also, when I've hosted unsuccessfully, it just lists the mission as a basic (non-jibberish) title, in this case Kam Lao Nam - Antistasi - Community Version (or something like that, proper text and spacing)

Like this, since it just failed to host

We just played Antistasi with another of our guys hosting with all of those mods, finished the mission

so it's all functional there

The reason we're trying to swap to me hosting is because I'm the only one who owns Prairie Fire

[pine kite]

Ok, I never did with mods. Only in the beginning when Antistasi came out for SOG.

Well, then they can't join anyway. They need the terrain to join your server. Compatibilty mod is not going to change that.

[dense imp]

So what exactly does the compatibility mod do, then?

Seemed that was the whole point of it

is it for the equipment, I guess?

[pine kite]

Allow gear and vehicles to be spawned and used on other terrains in missions

[dense imp]

Ah. Didn't expect that, to be honest

[pine kite]

Well, used, your friends be a passenger.

[dense imp]

I thought it was the other way around, but then I guess weapons have licensing which... was the whole point of ARMA doing off-brand near-future instead of real gear

Hm. Alright.

[pine kite]

No DLC terrain owned, can't join that mission on that terrain.

[dense imp]

Going to check to see if any terrains other than Altis will play I suppose

[pine kite]

You'll have to resort to that other Nam mod, whatitsname?

[dense imp]

I just tried to load it to no avail, I think it's one that come with RHS

[pine kite]

Un-something

[dense imp]

Would have to be looking at the name to type it, lol

[pine kite]

Unsung

[dense imp]

What about Livonia terrain? Does that one require Contact?

[pine kite]

Yes

[dense imp]

Was there ever any interaction there with DayZ owners, or am I misremembering something

Ah, I see it gives a purchase option instead of play

[pine kite]

Well, or purchase gives play options. Depends on how you look at it.

Or you mean the screen prompts to play purchase.

[dense imp]

The button on the bottom right turns into Purchase instead if you don't own it, is all

[pine kite]

Anyway, I have to go. Seems like it is clear sort of that this plan is not going to work for your friends.

[dense imp]

True, but I still have some mysterious issues to solve

Altis seems to be the only map so far to successfully host

[pine kite]

As said before, verify your game through Steam. Or consider a complete delete and reinstall.

You should also have Malden and Stratis as terrain options.

[dense imp]

Yeah, I'm checking those out. I believe trying to load SOG made it unable to do others- so I've relaunched to try again

A complete reinstall isn't great for me, and I've been trying to avoid it

Rural internet at 5mbps is... a special kind of hell to live in when it comes to modern game installs

[pine kite]

I have loaded other missions with SOG enabled. But the main menu did look quite different.

[young jackal]

yep thats what i done still says new to arma when i load and resets to base stuff

[full night]

Help, past 3 days I suddenly have no sound in ARMA 3. I did the REFRESH, changed my Windows 7 settings, etc... I get audio in Windows and OTHER games, but not ARMA 3. I deleted my profiles, made new ones and still nothing. Yet I have sound in DayZ! Can I EDIT the profile settings config file to force it play or force an audio device there? I have no idea how to trouble shoot this... I am using the PERFORMANCE branch if that matters. I did not switch it back to regular or try developers branch, yet.

[young jackal]

right click your sound and go to mixer

[full night]

Ah!!! I just did it and found 2x unknown devices that was muted!!!! I have NO idea why that would even occur randomly as I would never set or touch those settings unless my Windows is going bonkers... or haunted!!! Thank you!!! You deserve a star or other form of pleasure as compensation!!!

[bronze river]

sometimes when your main audio suddenly unplugged it happens

[fallen ore]

Hello,

Ive been having an issue when i join my units servers (we have 2 different servers) and when i join them my fps drops to 1-4 Frames and i begin to lag everyone else as well. I use the modpacks they provide for their servers but it still breaks. I noticed when i host my own server from within arma its fine but when i join them it just breaks. When i leave the server it fixes itself.

Please Help.

[uncut trellis]

likely something broken in the mod pack or in the mission

[bronze river]

not sure if its the same issue, but i also happen to have that lag when equiping RCO (PiP) from ace. fixed it when i ditch the sight and use regular RCO.

[fallen ore]

So i turned off hyperthreading and it fixed itself.

[ocean cosmos]

sounds like bigman didnt have hyperthreading set up right

[fallen ore]

It was always on but ig it broke?

[sleek oriole]

I would be enterally grateful to anyone who could help me figure out a server crash issue. I'm looking in the logs but am not sure what to look for. here are the last few lines before restart and the last lines are it restarting (i think). (dedicated server, hosted on host havoc, modded, has been working fine for a month with no changes, only recently encountered this issue)

• full logs from 2 crashes

any help would be much apreciaed, or if i should post this somewhere else just let me know:)

[brave imp]

Hey, so I'm unable to get out of the eden editor. I don't know if its because I launched TADST or what

[brave imp]

My dedicated TADST server doesn't seem it wants to load the ingame server, as it seems to have chirping noises at the moment

The map it was apparently supposed to load was Summa

[brave imp]

It keeps getting stuck at initializing addons

[pine kite]

TADST starts an dedicated server application. It has nothing to do with the ingame one. Or the Eden editor for that mater. You might want to explain in detail the steps what you did. Because it makes no sense in that combination.

[brave imp]

Understood, also here's what I got so far if that ever tells anything

Also, its set at the E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3\arma3server_x64.exe

with upnp on

Also this is the rpt log

[brave imp]

Is this enough information?

Also, what does netlog do?

[pine kite]

I don't see any explanation of how you use TADST, Eden and the ingame server together. Arma3server_x64.exe is the dedicated server executable.

[brave imp]

Ok, understood. I guess TADST might be outdated?

[brave imp]

I have a question, does using the same folder as arma 3 to setup a server instead of using the arma 3 servee steam program cause any problems?

Cause I'm unable to launch arma, it only loads up to initializing addons

Also, when it initializes addons, it stops responding

What do I do?

Apparently the FASTER server hoster thing program is using the same exe as that of the arma launcher? I guess I set it up wrong? But then I don't know how to unmess it

Help, arma isn't launching anymore

I'm just gonna reverify files

[pine kite]

I have never used it, but I did heard FASTER is newer.

[brave imp]

Yeah, meanwhile TADST isn't even working anymore

TADST doesn't even do upnp when it is activated in the checkmark

Like, all I want is a dedicated server to play ALIVE on

Anyway, gotta reverify around 39GB of files

[mental river]

The error means dta.pbo and your Arma version don't match

[pine kite]

I think is better to have the dedicated server install seperate from the game install. As Steam might get confused as to what you are running and what to authenticate. Consider following this guide for dedi: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Dedicated_Server

[brave imp]

I already followed that guide in the past, I think I had everything already set up

specifically the steamcmd stuff, don't know about the rest

What's A3Master?

[brave imp]

So. It should be like this on steam, right?

-port=2302 "-profiles=E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3\A3Master" -config=CONFIG_server.cfg -world=empty

sorry for the ping. Needed to bring your attention in case I did anything wrong

Is it ok if I go to sleep from 12:36 and continue this later possibly around 20:00/21:00

Well, I wasn't able to sleep, so I guess we can continue

I have to convalidate 299.4GB

[brave imp]

Ok, I got this thing

13:20:50 Dedicated host created.
13:21:02 BattlEye server updated to version: 218
13:21:02 BattlEye Server: Initialized (v1.218)

[brave imp]

I can't find the :\Games\Arma3\A3Master\Users\Adminstrator\Administrator.Arma3Profile

Fuck, I was supposed to create an empty directory

This literally sucks ass and is so hard to set up, is there an easier way?

Bruh, I already had the folders for arma master

Ok, It didn't ask me for a validation key

Its saying that my folder does not exist

[brave imp]

Hey, the administrator folder is not appearing

[umbral narwhal]

You set -profiles somewhere else earlier.

Whatever path you put in -profiles is where it puts the profiles.

[brave imp]

So I changed the ports for 2303 to what I hope is the correct number

[brave imp]

I don't understand?
Would this help?

-port=2302 "-profiles=E:\Games\Arma3\A3Master" -config=CONFIG_server.cfg -world=empty

[umbral narwhal]

I can only repeat the sentence I wrote.

If you put -profiles=E:\Games\Arma3\A3Master then that's where the profiles will go.

[brave imp]

Understood

Then why am I not able to find them even though I am in the correct folder?

[umbral narwhal]

well, you didn't specify -name, so god knows what your profile name is.

It's working because the RPTs are in there.

Profiles will be in Users inside that.

[brave imp]

I was told that they would be in an administrator folder name or something like that on the wiki

[umbral narwhal]

%profilefolder%/Users/whatever

[brave imp]

are these the files?

[umbral narwhal]

It's kinda lacking. Should generate .arma3profile files at some point.

[brave imp]

well, arma profile is here

[umbral narwhal]

Maybe it only creates the .arma3profile files once you start a mission and you haven't got that far.

[brave imp]

problem... I tried to launch the server but it didn't show up

[umbral narwhal]

Direct connect to 127.0.0.1

Assuming that it's on the same machine

After that it'll show up in recent in the launcher and you can favourite it there.

[brave imp]

it doesn't connect to anything

And its on the same machine

[umbral narwhal]

sighs

maybe clarify "didn't show up"

[brave imp]

This sort of not shown up

[umbral narwhal]

click "LAN"

[brave imp]

nothing at all

[umbral narwhal]

Did you actually start the server

[brave imp]

I think so?

[umbral narwhal]

wait, why is it 2.02...

[brave imp]

What do you mean?

Its the one I installed through steam cmd in 2021

Which is the only one with the A3master folder

I was trying to follow the wiki

[umbral narwhal]

in 2021?...

[pine kite]

UDP 2302-2306 suffices

[brave imp]

Well, yes. It originally was for 2021 but I never finished it

[pine kite]

Well, you are not going to connect to it with client version 2.08 anyway. So better update that server then.

[brave imp]

I do also have this, but I don't know if it is useful at all

[umbral narwhal]

At (severe) risk of confusing the issue, you don't actually need separate server data at all with Arma 3. The client is bundled with the server exes.

[brave imp]

Wait what.

[umbral narwhal]

As a test, simply execute arma3server_x64.exe directly from the Arma 3 client folder and you should be able to connect to it.

[brave imp]

So... I did all of that for nothing? gonna go try that

[umbral narwhal]

Oh, it does have profile collision though, so you kinda want to run it with -profiles

But you really can set up everything with the client data. It's how I run my local DS.

[brave imp]

Ok, a server spawned

Now, I don't know where the config file is since I had multiple various setup of servers with both TADST and FASTER

[umbral narwhal]

By default, it's just CONFIG_server.cfg in the same folder as the server exe.

So in this case, the Arma 3 client folder.

[brave imp]

Its supposed to have a name, but instead it is named desktop and then it has some numbers and letters

so, its like this?

[umbral narwhal]

If you want to set up the command line then you're better off making a batch file.

It's basically the same as the other server setup options except you're making use of the client data.

[brave imp]

Ok, strange there was supposed to be a mission here

[brave imp]

What was the batch file format?

Strange, it ejected me from playing my own mission

I hope this works

nope, it didn't, it took me right back to the voting screen

[brave imp]

Hey, how do I do that?

[umbral narwhal]

batch files are just text files with .bat as a file extension.

[brave imp]

Understood. Also

What does it mean when a mission longer exist?

[umbral narwhal]

Just means that you're not loading the mods that the mission requires.

[brave imp]

But I have the mod list installed

[umbral narwhal]

Not on the server you don't.

[brave imp]

I literally made the mission

Wait what

[umbral narwhal]

It still needs the -mod="stuff" line

Just because it's running from the client folder doesn't mean it knows what mods to load.

[brave imp]

Ok, also what do I name the bat file?

And what do I write in it?

And do I literally write stuff in the line?

[umbral narwhal]

You put whatever command you want to use to run the server in there.

[brave imp]

So everything that would go in the comment in properties?

Holy shit, do I have to copypaste 90+ mods at once?

Is there a faster way?

[umbral narwhal]

Don't run 90+ mods

[brave imp]

Sorry, but then its just insurgents vs conventional in alive, or america vs russia.

[umbral narwhal]

shrugs

[brave imp]

So, no other alternative?

[umbral narwhal]

There probably are several, but I don't personally go heavy on mods so I wouldn't know.

[brave imp]

Well, I do go heavy on faction mods for variety between conventional combat scenarios... even though most of those factions seem to be blufor

I could use this? https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/224359-foxs-arma-server-tool-extended-rewrite-faster/

[pine kite]

The more mods you throw together the more complicated it becomes. And you've had enough problems with it for the past weeks/months judging by your messages. Start small. once it works after testing, add stuff in small steps. Make small changes.

Check if it works before going further. And don't open another can of worms immediately when the previous thing doesn't seem to work.

[brave imp]

Yeah, I wish I didn't suck at adding mods

[pine kite]

Everyone sucks in the beginning. The trick is to learn how not to continue that.

[brave imp]

Like the idea was conventional warfare between blufor vs opfor, or blufor vs independent, or opfor vs independent.

And well, I think I did ask about what mods I should use, but nobody answered

[pine kite]

Because nobody can tell you that

Start with vanila stuff. That should work most of the time. It may be boring and lacking variety. But it will work if the mission is made for it. Once you have that working. Start making the small changes to add that bit of variety.

[brave imp]

Well, the mission was made for USA vs Russia in chernarus

[pine kite]

Then only begin with those mods, and not a bunch additionals.

[brave imp]

There's still 75+ mods even with all the other factions removed

[pine kite]

Start the lawn mower then

[brave imp]

Yeah, but then If I forget all the maps it will be hard to remember which ones worked with ALIVE

Since the github page for the supported map does not tell the name of the maps.

[pine kite]

That is where proper choice of names and mission details descriptions and notes come in.

[brave imp]

And well... that is the most up to date way to look for supported maps

[pine kite]

Well, suit yourself. Divide, and conquer chaos.

[brave imp]

What do you mean by that?

What do you think is only really needed for a map mod according to most players?

[brave imp]

They do have a spreadsheet for the maps... its just... pretty darn outdated

Ok, I'm now at 29 mods

Do people still use enhanced movements?

[pine kite]

If you make your own missions for a specific set of mods and terrain name (required for it to work anyway) put some hints in the mission name. Or keep a readme file with notes for that particular mission.
If you throw all mods together because you can't tell what is for what, then that is a management issue.

[brave imp]

I do name my missions accordingly, for example the Chernarus mission was named ALIVE Chernarus USA vs Russia RHS

[pine kite]

Something like that, but can do shorter. Spaces in names tend to cause problems.

[brave imp]

What kind of problems?

[pine kite]

Cant find file if it is looking for "WhateverMission" when it is actually called "WhateverMission with RHS.Altis.pbo"

[brave imp]

Oh

Well shit, too late now

Also, why does the launcher not want to open the folders for the mods in windows explorer?

[pine kite]

Don't know. I usually find them myself

[brave imp]

Well, I have a sea of download mods, so I can't do that

I apparently have to repair them all in order to see them in windows explorer

Its kind of a pain to copy paste them all by hand

Nevermind, found a mod string generator

Aka this https://a3config.byjokese.com/stringGen.html

huh, I think faster corrupted all my mods by changing their downloading areas

[brave imp]

Huh, strange. even though I had setup the mod string correctly. It still gives me this

mpmissions__cur_mp.chernarus_summer\mission.sqm/Mission/Entities/Item2/Entities/Item1.type: Vehicle class ALiVE_require no longer exists
From this

wait

That's not the full list

wait, it doesn't copy it fully???

Ok, so how do I write that bat file again?

Because I tried to google for a way to get around that but I don't know how it just spills the same youtube videos and nothing about the bat file

I'm trying to copy as 92 mod string into the shortcut but it wont fully copy in

[uncut trellis]

shortcut cant have that many characters

you need to make a separate .bat file

[brave imp]

I did.

Just don't know how I'm supposed to connect it to the exe

Is this it? https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_Armed_Assault:_Server_configuration

[young jackal]

my .vars.Arma3Profile keeps resetting to its previous one whenever i bring a new one in and replace~rename it

[uncut trellis]

something like this yes.

Id recommend adding just couple of mods to it so you can make sure stuff is in right place and it runs correctly

then add rest of the mods in correct place

[pine kite]

poor Ang that got pinged

Fabio (or Kevin) you do realize that loading all those mods takes away memory that the server can't use for other stuff like AI processing?

No point in loading the mods for terrains that are not played on.

[brave imp]

You're right, sorry

Oh crap, I didn't notice I pinged somebody on accident

[brave imp]

How many mods should one load before it start taking a tool on the ai processing?

Hey, is it possible to modify the name for a mission without going into the editor?

[uncut trellis]

basically one should be running only the mods one uses, nothing else

even single mod can cause problems too

there is no defined X number where things start to go poorly

[brave imp]

Oh, understood

Huh, apparently arma blocked this

Huh, the game gave me an error that I can't even click off to as the game stops responding

And which I was unable to screenshot

The game keeps stop responding

[uncut trellis]

the above errors mean somethin breaks the base game

turn off mods and try again

then turn on mods few at a time

[brave imp]

Well, I'm going go sleep, I hope I remember this

[sage herald]

hey this pops up every time i launch the game on steam. i've unloaded al mods and all optional dlc and this still comes up. I've also verified game cache and it didnt find anything, tried a clean install too still to no avail.

[uncut trellis]

perhpas some mod managed to corrupt your profile

take a backup of it and delete

so it gets reset

[uncut trellis]

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]

@sturdy delta https://portforward.com/arma-3/#which-ports-does-arma-3-require check this link out if there is any useful tips

[sturdy delta]

The port is still closed

@uncut trellis

[uncut trellis]

I dont know anything more about that. Im not familiar with AT&T so you might need to ask their support if you are doing it right

[sturdy delta]

@uncut trellis I got it to work, but my friend gets kicked immediately after joining

I set up a custom scenario where you can play as an oppfor character or a blufor character

[uncut trellis]

Id recommend testing first with no mods and vanilla mission

[sturdy delta]

@uncut trellis Still nothing

He joins, and immediately gets disconnected

[uncut trellis]

I dont know more. Im not technical expert

[burnt imp]

Did you watch the video?

[brave imp]

Ok, I think I just got an arma blackscreen with just The CUP stuff, ACE3, and CBA

Any suggestions on how the most functioning mods ever seem to be causing problems? Outside of well... The entire mod folders for arma has a lot less mods than what I have installed?

also this

And then this

[ocean cosmos]

Repair all mods you have loaded

[brave imp]

Doing that right now

[uncut trellis]

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_process_exit#0x00000001_.E2.80.93_UNABLE_TO_INIT_DXGI check if there is anything here

[brave imp]

How do I update my graphics drivers? And how do I know they haven't already updated?

Nope, its already at the best updated drivers

[brave imp]

Ok, so it loads without ace sadly... Sadly because of that I cannot use a bunch of the features for ALIVE related to air support, supplies, and the tablet because I don't onow the buttons, also I prefer playing with ACE on.

And its all because some stupid ACE file interfering with battleye

Also does my batch file even work according to what I wrote based on I think outdated info?

Like, is this what it is supposed to look like?

[uncut trellis]

why do you think its outdated info? the launch parameters have not changed pretty much ever

your addon naming/pathing is likely not right there though

as if they are from workshop, they would be in the workshop folder

the way you have it now tries to find all the @ folders from the root of arma 3\

[proud storm]

Can anyone take a look at my rpt and dmp files for my server and help figure out what's crashing it? The crashes are infrequent and we can't reproduce them, so we can't pinpoint what's causing them to fix it. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Wdtq25-6p-LXykVpxldbN5ozktcBGOMb?usp=sharing

[brave imp]

Understood. Guess I cannot use a website to generate the string then.

Also, with no battleeye on, arma gets stuck on this, so there's clearly something wrong with ACE that doesn't get fixed with the repair button

[uncut trellis]

it probably gets stuck because your whole launch parameters are bonkers 😅

as the pathing does not look right

[brave imp]

Oh, understood

[uncut trellis]

Id test your server without mods on a vanilla mission to see if that works stable

[brave imp]

Also, I found out this is a thing

[uncut trellis]

looks like your RPT is spammed with errors both from mods and from the mission you run

[brave imp]

Like, did I really need a batch file then if this was a thing?

[uncut trellis]

dont try to use both

and yes the batch file is better

as you can have multiple for different mod selections

[brave imp]

Ok, understood

But I want to make the mod string making quicker, how do I do that?

[uncut trellis]

dunno

Im not sure if you can

[brave imp]

Well, if somebody made a string generator for the one with no workshop... then maybe one could make one that works with the workshop? I found it here https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/229229-server-administration-guides-tutorials-compilation-list/

[uncut trellis]

one probably could

but that one would likely have to be you

in the time you try to look for faster solution you would already have completed the list

[brave imp]

Damnit. I don't know how to code. So I guess I gotta do the batch file

So, I start like this, right?

[uncut trellis]

perhpas. Im not expert in that

[brave imp]

I mean, the only mentions of a batch file on the wiki is for ArmA 1

specifically this https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_Armed_Assault:_Server_configuration

That's why I kinda considered this outdated info for some reason

Can't I just like... Use the html file I get from exporting the mods and copypaste it there?

Also, do I use quotation marks or whatever "<>" are named

[uncut trellis]

no

"folder\path\to\@mod1\;another\fodler\@mod2\;and\so\on\@mod3 "

[brave imp]

Wait, so I wasn't supposed to use semicolons....?

and whatever those arrows were?

Jesus christ, why is this so time consuming

[uncut trellis]

learning stuff usually is

and yes semicolons

[brave imp]

Yeah, but this is is just copypasting stuff by clicking on several different stuff

[uncut trellis]

well cant expect that to work if you dont write it correctly

[brave imp]

Wait, so I gotta freaking write it manually?????

[uncut trellis]

no

but you have to make sure the syntax is right

its not rocket science man

but it has to be right

youre blowing this way out of proportion

[brave imp]

Sorry

Its just hard to scroll through a giant line

Like, its already so long

And I don't enjoy copypasting stuff and then finding the specific line of text to remove in case I want to remove a mod

[uncut trellis]

theres probably ways to make it easier to read but you would have to figure out the finer features of batch file writing for that

[brave imp]

Ok, don't understand how that might help since i'm writing it on notepad++

Also, its difficult to read the string thanks to my astigmatism

Also, it feels kind of stressful to copypaste stuff constantly

[uncut trellis]

you should not have to be doing it constantly

[brave imp]

So, like this?

[brave imp]

Understood, though I feel very anxious I will have to do this for every faction I might want to make fight.

It isn't turning on, the batch file isn't working

I have a question, does TADST actually work as intended?

Hey, how long does it take to load into a server setup with TADST?

Ok, so I don't know if I'm in, I can hear water splashing noises, but its all a loading screen, I also can alt tab with ease

Wait, why is it empty?

Huh, strange, upnp fails with TADST

[brave imp]

Ok, I found out how to put in mods in TADST with ease

just drag and drop the folder into the tadst mod list

Hopefully this works

What does this mean

[brave imp]

The TADST method still wont let me join and I wonder if I did anything wrong

[brave imp]

What

Ok, so maybe it was the squad feedback mod

[brave imp]

Hey, Arma 3 is unfunctioning whenever I launch the game with TADST also launched. I literally am Unable to click on anything because of it

Actually, not sure if its either TADST or ACE with battleye

Its still battleye

And even though I repair my addons, there's always a missing key mod even though they are already added

[brave imp]

I cannot use the spyder addon

[brave imp]

Wtf, is this literally with every mods?

by the way, this is what it looks like right now if anybody knows how to use TADST

[brave imp]

Apparently they aren't supposed to have their links attached to them but just "@ insert mod name here"

Nothing seems to work correctly...

Oh god, its gonna take a while to copypaste them all, and also gonna make my E: drive smaller in the process

My two terabyte is only at 192GB remaining, I don't think I can even get all the mods for this.

Sorry for the complaining, just feeling really anxious that I wont have any GB remaining since I don't think I can like buy a spare hard drive or buy a new SSD

[uncut trellis]

Perhaps you could just play the game with what you got now and not try to make every possible combination of mods

[brave imp]

I mean, The only gamemode I want to play is ALIVE. And I want to use the dedicated server stuff so that it can have a persistent save on the cloud instead of wherever it was put locally that even I don't know

Also extra perfomance

Also, those are only 27 mods

Its just it wont identify the key from the workshop folder

I got two mods remaning to fully put into the arma 3 servers folder I guess

[pine kite]

Batch files exist and work since the DOS age, so no, not outdated. You just need to be clever in not making typos or copy/paste names in the wrong way. Keep templates of groups of mods that you know work together. Then you can copy paste them into batchfiles whenever you need them for future servers you want to set up.

[uncut trellis]

Or make many batch files so the copy pasting is done only once.

[pine kite]

Hence the benefit of not using too many mods.

[pine kite]

Did you copy the key folder contents of the mod into the keys folder of the server?

[pine kite]

That is kind of what I meant. Maybe I wasn't clear. Text files with groups of compatible mods that you can later add to batch files for a particular server.

[brave imp]

I copied the !workshop folder into TADST on the normal arma 3 root folder thing.

Now I made a separate TADST on the arma 3 server root

[brave imp]

Well, the long line was 29 mods big. So less than that and it might as well be vanilla

[brave imp]

What do you mean by templates? Like those html files?

Also, TADST is supposed to work quite well as it was shown to me in a tutorial in 2021.

Ok, now it kicks me from my own server for steam authentication failed because it is on the arma 3 server folder I think

[pine kite]

Does not do anything with the keys probably. Unless TADST documentation says it takes care of that.

[brave imp]

Well, the mods part was supposed to look like this and not a bunch of links

[pine kite]

Nope, just text snippets of those modfolder names arranged with semicolons. HTML has a lot of other syntaxt markup you don't need.

[brave imp]

Understood, also hopefully I fixed my problem with tadst not identifying the keys

[green flare]

when i die i can still see everything my screen doesnt turn black

[pine kite]

Maybe you are not dead yet. Maybe just unconcious and need another player or AI to revive you.

[brave imp]

nevermind, it doesn't work on the arma 3 folder on steamapps

I honestly don't want to recreate the steam cmd arma 3 server folder again.

Wait, there are extra parameters added, maybe if I delete those

Still nope

Just gonna go use the batch file instead

For some reason I'm having a dejavu of already being in this situation before

Also, this is what I meant by large line

goddamit, the batch file isn't working

I wonder if I named it wrong

[brave imp]

Hey, are you sure its a batch file and not a cfg file? The batch file does not seem to be working yet

Idk why though

I wish there was a tutorial for the batch file, since I can't find that much at all on the wiki

[umbral narwhal]

You can't have the parameters on separate lines. It's all one (long) command.

Also the -name there is invalid.

It's the name for a folder so it can't have any special characters.

It doesn't name the server, so otherwise it doesn't matter.

[brave imp]

Ok, understood. So like this?

Ok, so the server is named DESKOPT and it has numbers and letters on it. I still don't understand what I did wrong

[umbral narwhal]

The server name is set in server config, not the command line.

[pine kite]

Should not need all the "E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3\" in front of all those mods. That makes it really long. Just from the root folder of Arma 3.

[brave imp]

So, just arma3server_x64.exe?

Also, I had named the server

Ok, just had to initialize the bat file instead of the arma 3 server exe

Nope, bat file still shows unnamed one

Holy shit. It connected

I forgot, battleeye is active on the server

Ok, so it still activates battleye even when I not tell it to through the configuration file by placing a 0

Uh, any suggestions?

[brave imp]

I just got an another battleye problem related to ACE

19/06/2022 15:52:06 - Blocked loading of file 'E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\107410\463939057\ace_fcs_x64.dll'

The batch file wont listen to the server config file.

Is this how the batch file works?

Is this what I'm supposed to do? https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Startup_Parameters_Config_File

I don't understand the text format

[umbral narwhal]

you missed the - on -config

So it's probably using the wrong server config file

[brave imp]

Damn be my eyesight

finally, it works

Wtf, it does the thing it did with TADST, but now with the Batch file

Can anybody help me in this?

Or is there nothing I can do?

[umbral narwhal]

Just turn off key signing in the server config file

verifySignatures=0

Either that or you can actually make the key folder, but that's a pain in the arse

For some reason the Arma server has no automated reading of keys from mods.

[foggy zealot]

How could I join my server twice with the same steam acount for testing
it keeps kicking my dupe. I have kickduplicates set to 0 in the server.cfg

battleye is disabled and loopback is also 1..

nvm cant run with loopback cause its hosted on a different machine on my network... ugh

[sturdy delta]

How can I command different groups to do things?

Like after I've taken out a sniper, I want to command them to move up

[brave imp]

What key folder? They already have a bikey

[umbral narwhal]

Just turn off signature verification if you're not running a public server.

Otherwise, server needs all the bikey files copied to the "keys" folder in the program folder.

[brave imp]

Where is the keys folder?

[umbral narwhal]

You have to create it.

[burnt imp]

Are you speaking about commanding in Zeus or as a team leader?

[sturdy delta]

In singleplayer

I don't know

[burnt imp]

Go to VR Training in game for more details, but you can select a unit to command by pressing any key F2-F9 with the number corresponding to the unit in your team. You can only do this is you are the team leader

[brave imp]

What do I name it?

[brave imp]

Sorry for the ping, I just woke up.

So, I put them here, right?

[umbral narwhal]

yes

[brave imp]

Hey, so one of the RHS Ace compact has no bikey, what do I do?

[umbral narwhal]

It's because the ACE compats just use the ACE key

It's a bit of a problem because if you add the ACE key, the launcher puts every ACE compat under "optional mods", even though Arma wouldn't start if you loaded them.

[brave imp]

So what do I do?

[umbral narwhal]

Nothing.

You just have to suffer.

[brave imp]

Hey, so my server does not kick me out anymore because I have verified my keys... But, I'm stuck in the loading screens with insect noises

I am able to use the chat tool in it

but not see the lobby

it says

1:24:44 Can't find a mission collection / mission with template name: 'MyMission.Altis', skipping to next mission.
In the console

[umbral narwhal]

Sounds like you have a placeholder mission cycle in there

[brave imp]

I got it from the template on the wiki

[umbral narwhal]

Just remove the whole class Missions { } section from the server.cfg

[brave imp]

Huh, strange

Is this normal? I remember it having playable characters moments ago.

I wonder if they got taken over by the ALIVE commander

[pine kite]

Use the chat menu to login as admin
#login adminpassword

[brave imp]

I did login in as admin

[pine kite]

Chat menu again: #missions
Choose a vanilla mission to test. If that works, see if you can choose your own mission.

[brave imp]

Do special characters like "_" intefere with mission folder/pbo?

[pine kite]

No, underscores should be fine

If you did try your own mission and that was the result then you probably messed something up making it. But I have no clue about that. That is not a server management thing.

[brave imp]

Ok, understood.

Is there anything here that is wrong?

Also, I did ran my mission before, and it seemed to show the player list

But now it does not

[brave imp]

Ok, so RKSL studio had some missing parts on its name, don't know if that's the cause

[brave imp]

Ok, TADST finally worked now that it has the keys

It spawned me as a spectator

Is it because I setup Ace Spectator?

or some alive thing

Ok, so i'm now playing the game finally

[brave imp]

Hey, my own server kicked me out because I activated battleye I think, what do I do?

These are my settings

[brave imp]

Fixed it, just had to turn battleye off from the server

[rustic dagger]

Any idea all my maps need to be purchased including workshop ones

[uncut trellis]

either you game data is corrupted or you are running a mod that breaks the game very badly

[rustic dagger]

yeh looks like it, I have verified my game files but nothing is wrong there

[uncut trellis]

first try without mods

then add mods few at a time to see when it breaks

[fringe salmon]

i cannot join servers

how do i fix this

other serves dont work aswell

[uncut trellis]

could be you have wrong mods running or some cheat thingy loaded

[fringe salmon]

dont have any cheats

i unloaded mods before joining the servers

im gonna try later steam is being broken again

[uncut trellis]

did you use the launchers server browser to join server?

[charred cosmos]

i need help

[burnt imp]

Turn on BattleEye

[neat ether]

no servers appear in the server browser help pls

[burnt imp]

Remove all filters

[neat ether]

this is what it looks like i cant find anywhere where i can change my filters

[burnt imp]

Click Internet, not official servers

[uncut trellis]

use the launcher server browser

that way it can set up mods for you

or inform you if you try to join modded server

[fringe salmon]

no

should i use it?

[uncut trellis]

preferably

[fringe salmon]

okay

[burnt imp]

Yes

[fringe salmon]

im gonna try now

i think the problem was i had hamachi on

not sure

[uncut trellis]

could very well be

[fringe salmon]

Awesome it works

Thanks pals

[opal laurel]

I could use some help, we aren't quite sure what mod adds this weird smooth turn movement thing. It's cool, but wears its self out quickly. Here's an example: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/372461908999012360/988572069312741376/arma3_x64_bDlyWkhCCE.gif

(i can't upload files, so i hope the link is okay)

[burnt imp]

Check PiR. I think its from that mod.

Let me know if that is it, because Im not 100% either

[opal laurel]

Alright i'll get back to you on that

[eternal temple]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[uncut trellis]

the launcher mounting is not always reliable

recommended stable way is to use mikeros toolset and Arma3P

PMCwiki has simple steps on how that is done

[opal laurel]

It was indeed Project Hit Reaction, you wouldn't also happen to know how to disable this specific feature would you? i couldn't find anything related to it in the addon options

[uncut trellis]

those kind of things may not be something you can disable. they are kinda core freatures

[burnt imp]

Unfortunately I do not. I am using the stripped down version of PIR (for ACE) which does not have any Addon Options

[opal laurel]

Ah, okay. Well thanks for helping me pin down which mod it was then.

[hidden bridge]

'setGroupOwner' command
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setGroupOwner

• Does not work if called immediately after group creation, one must add significant (up to seconds) delay for it to even work
• In case if used several times in a row (for several groups) results in units to undress
  pls fix lol

[mental river]

why do you post here?

make a ticket on the feedback tracker

[hidden bridge]

But the problem is known, isn't it? Comment describing it on wiki is more than two years old

[steady hawk]

But or known or two years old aren't reasons not to post in feedback

[mental river]

either way, posting it here makes no difference

[umbral narwhal]

Does the delay matter? I thought the issue was that if you create an empty group, it becomes local to the first unit you add to it, rather than changing the locality of the unit.

[hidden bridge]

nah, try to create a group, populate it and then use this command couple of lines below, in some (what?) cases group locality does not change and command returns nothing, not even a 'false'

[umbral narwhal]

Does it work with a one-frame delay?

[hidden bridge]

Not ready to answer this question, we started with 0.5 seconds delay and it's about 3-5 now depending on number of groups to be transferred to HC. It works, but some units remain undressed, especially those in vehicles.

[gray dirge]

does anyone know why my unit emblem does not load/appear in game

[pine kite]

It it is relying on the Units site then that is probably down. If you somehow load that as part of a mod, or custom texture, then that may be incorrectly made. So, how do you have your unit emblem stored?

[latent tundra]

Hello, I have a problem for the launcher. When trying to join a server with password the popup window to put in the password appears either behind the launcher or off screen, and I can't put alt tab it or windowskey + D it. Im running windows 11

[burnt imp]

Try using the Move window function. If you dont know what that is, look it up

[rare tree]

My arma server (LAN server, we have a network set up on zero tier) is running 3 mods (ace, cba, and ace compatibility for SOG) and is running on cam Lao nam ( we all own the dlc) has the red broken chain all the time and has us always either teleporting around on each other’s screens or even disconnecting us mid-game. When it’s just me on the server it’s fine, but as soon as my friend joins we get the red chain and start lagging like crazy. We have a few scripts running, idk if I need to set them to server or client side, but I have no idea how to fix the issues or even what the red chain thing means. On campaign missions we never have the red chain or any lag, and we didn’t have this issue in the past until this mission (my first scripted mission as well) all the scripts run perfectly fine as far as I’m aware. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

[uncut trellis]

you could start debugging by turning off all mods and the SOGPF dlc and then try one of the vanilla mp scenarios (coop) for example to see if that works

if it does then add the SOGPF dlc and try one of its coop missions

if that all works add the mods and try again

@rare tree

[umbral narwhal]

If it's specific to your mission, it might just be spamming far more data over the network than it should.

But I don't know any diagnostics for that.

[rare tree]

K. Thanks for that, I’ll try troubleshooting now

Unable to troubleshoot Rn. I think it’s a network issue, as even though I can call on discord I suddenly cannot send messages (they remain undelivered), workshop will not connect to internet, and a few other things

And the mods won’t load into the game

I may have to restart my pc or router or something

Now epic went offline

But I’m on a call Rn, so I’m clearly on my internet

.........

[burnt imp]

The red chain definitely means Arma is detecting a network problem

[fringe salmon]

@rare tree Can your network actually support a server bandwidth?

[rare tree]

It has in our previous missions

[rare tree]

Got my network working again, when friends are online I will troubleshoot

[fringe salmon]

What router do you have?

[rare tree]

Google

Technically google and xfinity, but my pc is hooked up to google

[rare tree]

K. I’m troubleshooting Rn

[rare tree]

Vanilla works

Modded with dlc works

It has to be the scripts

Idk how the scripts are causing this bug tho

[rare tree]

Everything works with mods and dlc except this mission

Dunno how to correct the scripts, but ill try rewriting them

[sudden cipher]

yeah good luck! locality in arma is a bit of a headache, and can cause a lot of lag if scripts are executed badly

one classic mistake is to accidentally execute the script on every player AND AI in the mission. ive done that before, abd bam the server cpu gets throttled, and red chain - everyone running on the spot for 5 minutes

[grizzled solstice]

Could someone help me try to solve this sound issue I’ve been haveing
I’m getting sounds from all outputs except from one

Never mind

I’m a fucking troglodyte Jesus Christ

[steady hawk]

[static wyvern]

I have narrowed my shadow issue to Blastcore Standalone Edition, Blastcore Murr, Cytech Map & Assets, or Bloodlust

[uncut trellis]

cytech does a lot of stuff for lights

so it probably cant be run if you use other maps

but also if you put togeteher a lot of mods, they can conflict with each other and break stuff

[static wyvern]

@burnt imp you're not going to believe this by cytech was causing all my suffering.

Who would've thought (besides horriblegoat) that such a baller map was the source of my pain

[burnt imp]

Wow! Another good reason not to run more mods than you need

[uncut trellis]

the cytech map does some pretty wild stuff that unfortunately is not compatible with the rest of the game xD

[static wyvern]

well im just glad that I can see the shadows. Fulllbright was a little disturbing

[brave imp]

Does disabling battleye stop me from seeings modded servers?

[pine kite]

No, you are looking for servers in your own LAN.

[brave imp]

Good point, but I misclicked on lan on accident, the internet tab didn't have any server on either

[pine kite]

Then edit that message and replace the image. Bad example means bad answers.

Check to make sure you don't have anything active that changes your networking. VPNs and stuff.

[marble marsh]

Hello, I'm having issues with my dedicated server. How to I add a DLC like SOG Prairie Fire? I uploaded vn into the server files but my server isn't appearing

[umbral narwhal]

For CDLCs you need to switch your server to the Creator DLC branch.

Server providers usually have a button for that.

otherwise you have to do it yourself with steamcmd, or by copying the files in

[marble marsh]

I'm trying to find it does Nitrado have one

[umbral narwhal]

Might not. Nitrado have a document for the file transfer method, which is a bit of a shocker

[marble marsh]

Oh could you share it to me if you don't mind

[umbral narwhal]

https://wiki.nitrado.net/en/Install_creator_DLC_on_ArmA_3

you can skip everything up to the FTP though, as you can just pull the vn folder from the client.

[marble marsh]

Okay I see thanks

[umbral narwhal]

But this method involves pushing 20GB of data to the server over FTP, which is screamingly dumb :P

[marble marsh]

I just did it like 10 mins ago

It took me a bit but still

[umbral narwhal]

sure hope you set the FTP to binary mode :P

[marble marsh]

Uhh.

.

[umbral narwhal]

(auto tends to decide that PBOs are text, and corrupts them)

maybe more common with missions though

[marble marsh]

I just want to play antistasi on cam lao man 😦

Welp 20 gb again

[umbral narwhal]

you could check that the file sizes are correct.

[marble marsh]

How do I check that

[umbral narwhal]

FTP should tell you exact sizes in bytes

[marble marsh]

Ah hold on then

[umbral narwhal]

also the part at the bottom is wrong, vn should generally go in -mod rather than -serverMod

[marble marsh]

okay

[umbral narwhal]

otherwise it's not telling the client that it needs the DLC, which is nonsense.

[marble marsh]

20 mil bytes

wait

Man is there a better server provider than Nitrado?

Would you recommend one?/

[umbral narwhal]

nah, I run my own.

[marble marsh]

For free?

You can do that?

[umbral narwhal]

If you know how to set up port forwarding, you have some spare cores & RAM, and enough upstream to handle your intended player count, sure.

[marble marsh]

Ohh that, I never got my shit to work when I tried, that port forward thing was so complicated to me

[umbral narwhal]

shrugs

Armahosts and Havoc are the least shitty providers I've seen. Probably the most expensive too though.

[marble marsh]

Yea I pay 2 dollars a month for Nitrado rn

It's fine

At times

[umbral narwhal]

I guess you'd better get on with re-uploading that 20GB :P

[marble marsh]

:/ thanks for the help fr

[brave hawk]

from https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Unusual_process_exit#0xC0000005_-_ACCESS_VIOLATION:

[quaint jewel]

Send me your crash report (.mdmp file, or zip file from the crash report dialog thing) and I'll tell you why it crashes on monday

[indigo mesa]

where do i find the crash to send it to you?

[quaint jewel]

!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.

[quaint jewel]

in that place

but the mdmp not the rpt

[indigo mesa]

the file is 2 powerful for dc how else can i send it?

[quaint jewel]

zip archive compresses it very well

So I'm not in-game right now, just getting suggestions for when I try again(working on another game) but I have this issue where some HUD elements are beyond my screen edge. When I switch radio channels, I can only see the top of the letters and can only tell by the color, and when I play a mission that has optional unit commands, the icons are too far left. everything else like map, stance, ammo, are all where they should be. When I tried to move these elements in the HUD editor, I coudln't figure out how to do it

im trying to sign pbo with BI DSUtils file but keep failing. is there way to sign these kinda problem?

file is funny's head mod pbo and its 207,154 kb

[steady hawk]

So 200MB?

...Wait, why would you sign someone else's pbo?

[neat spoke]

im currently on making my own mod server, and trying to make server verified mods only

[steady hawk]

I don't support this.

[neat spoke]

kk so this is not should be done right?

[steady hawk]

Yes

[neat spoke]

thx for fast reply :)

[fringe salmon]

can someone help me run antistasi on streamline im getting extremely confused

[pine kite]

Sounds like you have user interface scale incorrect. Its in the game or graphical settings somewhere. Unless you used a mod or something.

[marble marsh]

How do I fix this issue? 6:59:26 Warning Message: Addon 'ace_compat_rhs_afrf3' requires addon 'rhs_main_loadorder' / I removed RHS mods for my mission but this shows up. Can I remove the compats?

[steady hawk]

More like you need to

[marble marsh]

So If I remove all files related to RHS it should work?

[steady hawk]

It should

[pine kite]

Either remove the ace compat for RHS, or include the RHS mods. The compat requires the main RHS mod. The error message says it is a dependancy.

Depends if you want to play with or without RHS.

[marble marsh]

Thanks for the help, both of you, one last issue though, I'm running into this issue when starting the server. File /documents/A3-Antistasi-Plus/A3-Antistasi/functions/init/fn_initServer.sqf..., line 145

[umbral narwhal]

Surprised Socrates didn't rewrite that shitcode yet.

[marble marsh]

Is it repairable doc?

[umbral narwhal]

Ok, so when it gets to that point, there's supposed to be a player connected, but you can get cases where a player connects and then gets kicked out immediately (wrong mods etc).

If that happens then the mission is fucked and needs restarting, with a valid first player this time.

[marble marsh]

A valid first player?

[umbral narwhal]

A first player that doesn't immediately get kicked out.

[marble marsh]

okay

[pine kite]

In other words, the code isn't really the problem, getting kicked at the start of the mission is.

[umbral narwhal]

well, the code is bad too

[marble marsh]

But does be locked in that screen considered kicked?

[umbral narwhal]

Meant to rewrite it a few times but there's a lot of dependency on undocumented Arma behaviour with player connections.

[pine kite]

Sure, but I played Plus at least twice. Never had the problem (because I localhosted it with mods)

[umbral narwhal]

Yeah, it's only possible with a DS.

[marble marsh]

So from what I understood, when that screen appears restart the mission until it works?

[pine kite]

Fix the reason for kicking and restart the mission.

[umbral narwhal]

It's also possible that Plus broke some stuff earlier in the init. I wouldn't know.

[marble marsh]

Would I fix it by entering something in the “” space that’s left?

[pine kite]

No

You should not be kicked in the first place.

[marble marsh]

Hmm is it possible to send you a picture of what it shows in the web console?

[umbral narwhal]

That part of the code is correct, but it's failing because it's not guaranteed to pick a valid player under certain conditions.

[pine kite]

No, upload the RPT log file if anything. webconsole might not have all the details.

[marble marsh]

Okay I’ll go do that rn

[umbral narwhal]

Arma is really bad at logging player connection/disconnection stuff though, so it may be impossible to tell exactly what happened.

[marble marsh]

Uhh its working now??

Wtf is going on

I would guess that you or someone else initially joined the server with the wrong mods and broke it.

Restart and first player loading the correct mods should work fine.

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.
