Von on zeus also back?
Define back but fixed, did you or dedmen did some tinkering with the codes?
it's safe-style back, or should be 
It's like fixing one hole and another will open somewhere later ๐คฃ
nah it's more like shooting the the barrel with holes with shotgun and then applying ductape wrap all over it ๐
One could suspect you have American roots somewhere ๐
I see nothing wrong with this
VON happens to come back on April Fools... ๐ค
It will be a joke with after effect, they will remove it at midnight 2nd April ๐
I've noticed more cheaters since VON was added back
unrelated, they were there before
"direct communication" ? you mean direct channel VoN?
Yes
Tried to use with a mate on one of the Zeus server (sorry, forgot to take note of which one) and we couldn't hear each other
In direct
direct is disabled, that's different setting
thank god
When will global be enabled?? Because we can't talk to zeus
People are so demanding, April fools are over ๐
I think thatโs a reasonable question. They enable most of VoN meaning they likely found the culprit and maybe even have a timeline to fix the issue.
Just give them some time, Im sure things will be back one by one safely
Iโm sure too, but a date would be cool. I guess if the issue is expansive then they canโt give one
Why though?
Wait is it all back now?
Patience is your ally ๐
von is back?
Scroll up and read
Yeah but the dummies disabled global for some reason
Global VON was disabled for a long time, long before VON was disabled in general
Only for Warlord
Yep, Public Zeus pretty much relies on global as there's no other means for Zeus to communicate through to the players. Thank god for scripted servers and their side switching tho :'D
Good to know
can't talk shit the zus when the zus is in side channel aswell lol
will fix the global for zeus, that's just setting issue
Tbh it was pretty fun not being able to hear the zeus
It was mostly chaos and lightning strikes but i really enjoyed it
I am stuck "Receiving data..." in USA 02. I have tried to join twice and it hangs right there
see if other ppl are having it too
if the mission is running it may need to be restarted
old arma issue
about a month or so
voice in official extraction servers does not work
the teamkiller "Egg Unit" is back in the Official KOTH Test Server
I have video and screenshots, where do I send it?
@hearty tartan @upbeat python
1/ don't ping people; ping roles (@@discord_moderator)
2/ Dwarden will take care of this when he batch-bans people
any idea on a timeframe; how often he batch-bans?
also another player named "Pepsi" might be friends with "Egg Unit" he was in the same server as him last time
why can't there be a teamkilling threshold to cross before someone gets kicked (if not banned)??
in other official servers too, which is all I play, I'm not a fan of mods and will never use them
no.
there is TK treshold on the WL servers ... but there are ways around it
like kill the other team/AI inbetween killing team members? That's what they're doing now in the KOTH
just DM me the videos / screenshots and i hope you got GUID there
also there is nothing like that on KOTH server, different scenario and scriptcode
You will love it if such people suddenly stay in front of you and make it impossible to drive a tank or whatever because if you kill them by accident it will be counted as tk no matter what.
Not if your AI is driving

I've never ran into that issue in this game
And ONE tk wouldn't be the threshold anyway
One of us was kicked out that way because a troll kept running in front of the vehicles. Doesn't happen very often thanks to the fact that Dwarden is here but every time a new rule has been applied, the next malicious bypass wasn't far off.
hacker on USA 02 zeus, id is 848d6e6475d49e40915f655fca/fde2d, name is kye.
hes breaking the server by spawning vehicles without needing a zeus, breaking the server, freezing everyone in place and disabling any access to zeus
other person told me he was also doing that on other zeus servers and spawning planes too
shit i think i did wrong channel
Is there currently a problem with the public zeus servers?
Myself and everyone i ask to try, gets "session lost" when typing in #missions as admin, to change map and most importantly parameters. This makes it nearly unplayable.
it's because the pub zeus servers restart after every MissionEnd
you need to find a server that doesn't have any mission running and change it there, and it'll work fine.
Find? There are very few: EU, non CDLC, not currently used servers, available.
How to find said server that somehow doesnt have a mission running?
has to be empty.
Sure, the ones i used are, i or a friend joins, vote for admin, #missions = session lost.
did you go into the mission and then do #missions or did you do it in the lobby?
#vote admin (name), then #missions?
I quess i should try it in the lobby, give me a sec.
because if you go in-game it counts as a missionstart
which would then cause a missionend.
though I do agree that, at the very least, it should take 2 missionends to restart.
Thanks a lot, it works! ๐ฅณ
(Very wierd that one has to ask around so much and use workarounds instead of things just working.)
If it wouldnt have been for you, i would not have played for weeks.
I think the main reason they clear out more frequently is to forcefully flush the stuck memory data
and the game managed to survive a cruel environment with a small but solid base of loyal players
arma's community is by no means small.
just the community that strictly plays pub zeus is.
According to Bohemia, Arma sold 2.6 mio copies just in 2019 and over 5.5 mio RTD so far and yet they count less than 15k active players each day. I wouldn't say we have a large community. Even if we put together all private server players, they won't climb up the ranks to the top. Arma is not irrelevant (although esport platforms would disagree) but they are small after all.
Even "shit" games like CoD sold more, 26mio copies for MW3 and another 26mio for BO. The difference in figures are simply huge. And you know, bigger doesn't automatically mean better.
they count
You mean steamdb counts
I think steamdb is a third party but they probably use steam web API to gather the same figures too. I usually check the official one at https://store.steampowered.com/stats/ and this one at https://steamcharts.com/
Active players rates arma pretty damn high
As of right now there are 23k players online
According to steamcharts which is probs the best for user activity counts
Yes, steamcharts is a clean database, even better than official one at some point and they are using steam web API too.
I usually check the avg count and that figure stayed stable at 15k over the last years.
If we think of the Valve universe, being top50 still means something but I struggle to see Arma community as big one ๐
it's very isolated into separate chunks
Has global channel been fixed yet? Can't log in to check if it has been added back atm
hello umm why is the vietnam zeus server locked
best to refresh, the servers were restarted
i can see 2 servers now ๐
Hey there a guy being a troll on warlords and we can't get rid of him he's mining our airfield, to without being kicked, and ramming our vics,
do #beclient players in the chat, get his GUID and send it to dwarden in a DM with a description of what he did and his name, screenshots too would help.
#beclient players should work.
Now it did
u have to get few screenshot and possible if recording
that cant do anythink without any single solid proof
most annoying if you dont even know who is the culprit
ya
Can we get some more Zeus servers?
maybe replace some old Warlords servers or merge Endgame into Zeus, since Zeus servers just allow an admin to select a gamemode anyway
get in the server, vote for admin, admin restarts server, admin selects which gamemode and map to play after server reset.
.
Perform the #missions while a mission isn't running or starting, aka players/voted admin are in the lobby and it won't restart the server.
Not officially
Thankfully
Hey there's a pro war Russian guy going around on the servers calling Ukrainians nazis ๐ ๐ฎโ๐จ
hey, there is a murderer running around the globe killing people, please do something...
how about provide exact information such as server IP, player identity and whatever the admin demands first?
People said mean things on the internet
one of the worst I ever experience are those hater comments in Korea ๐
Is there server admins for the Offical Servers? How do we help keep them clean from cheaters and such?
cheaters you report to dwarden with userID, name of the person and what they did, aswell as screenshots if you have as proof
cheaters and reports pretty frequent these days
too much talk in the past maybe ๐
Were to get admin support for warlords server?
Some dude with a really racist name is going around but we can't seem to kick him.
Then just ignore it, if community can't even kick grieving and worse players, what do you expect in your case? ๐
A less shitty community?
Didn't know arma was a place for bigots to come hang out. thats kinda scary tbh.
report the person / time / server to me via DM, if you know BE guid even better
All sorted, I'm happy. Arma's the good community I thought it was :3
I doubt it was supposed to be such a place but we have serious issues and a racist name doesn't belong to one of my personal priorities.
Dwarden offered to check, if no report follows, I see no value in further complaints
We recently had countless discussions about a symbol used by Russians and official warnings were necessary to calm down people in the other channel. I dare to compare the symbol with a certain name such as Adolf. It's the people who decide to associate the symbol with certain meaning just like with the name.
I would be happy if we get all the cheaters and hackers back under control first. Aside from legal issues, I see no point in making a difference between grieving players, emotional outbursts, racist and other issues. They are all "offensive" in other words.
And for the record, there are plenty of entire countries being bigot, it's kinda meaningless to blame an online game community to be bigot because people online are not much different than offline. They are just much more cockier because they fear no consequences...
If I'm joining in a group it's essential to me that that group stands up for minorities and acts to stop bigotry. I get scared when a group I enjoy playing with shows any signs of that it doesn't want to take action. Hence why I freaked when that guy was like 'Just ignore it.'
But also why I was really happy when I was able to hand over details to get it sorted cause now I can keep playing in the community knowing that these issues don't go ignored.
I do not disagree with your point of view but sometimes ignorance is bliss, sometimes nothing will change if all ignoring it, sometimes things get worse by giving wrong people any attention to begin with. What will such a dumb racist guy do if his own team ignores him and refuses to play with him? grab a hack and start bitching next level? well yes, that's another way too lol
@pulsar marsh why so toxic?
which part? ๐
Certain topics such as symbols from Russia and other crap bored me off, I admit ๐ฉ
People will be people online.
. Thereโs no reason to freak out over some meanie words from a random guy thousands of miles away
Doing so just means they win
Donโt give attention and theyโll stop
I didn't give them any attention at all. My attention went to community members and protecting the facilities we use. I specifically didn't message the explicit racist in the game. I only used vote kick and then tried to find best rout to further support when they had someone cancel out the vote kick by spamming the button. I don't want to keep having games interrupted by this stuff so IMO it's best to act and continue to act until things improve. I'm a total bitch like that ๐
Funny thing about all this is if the guy just took the vote kick, he'd probably be better off. It's there for a reason and if you're avoiding it (and in his case, gloating about been able to avoid it), you deserve what comes next.
some dude on the official koth server keeps teamkilling i cant even get out of spawn without him killing me
@potent ether โฌ๏ธ
thx
is there a reforger area
Looks like someone have eat Veteran Servers in Warlords ....
Oh the rage comment has been removed, I suppose I shall remove my reply to that too bc makes no sense without original msg lol
can iget get a mod into the koth test server a player by the name of potate is ramming everyone and spamming in chat to kick some other dude and saying if we wont kick this dude he is going to continue
Dwarden is the only ingame admin available, I highly recommend to create proof bc he is not always ingame
Advice:
- screenshots
- streaming records
- player id (you access those IDs by opening chatbox and typing โ#beclient playersโ)
i've got banned on official a3 servers long time ago do you know where i can apply for unban?
I think they dont do unbans.
Battleye Ban = The End
If that ban was justified, there won't be any possibility for appeal.
Bummer deal. Battleeye is pretty notorious for sucking
is there anyone i can play wit
!lfg
Are you looking to play with people?
pick one channel:
#looking_for_game to tell others you want to play
#looking_for_unit to tell others you are looking for a group
#communities_arma3 to browse through advertised groups
Note: Please follow the templates in those channels (if applicable), and don't use them for discussions.
My friend and I were both banned from Zeus USA #02 by a scripter and would like some help getting that un-done.
try join other official server?
Yep we are able to join any other official servers just not USA #02, this happened two days ago now and is still an issue
A person on that server did state that at first it simple said we had disconnected and then on rejoin it gave a message stating our ban
and that also the server crashed by the game mod doing something a few minutes later (thus why I believe it was a scripted who banned us)
can you join Zeus USA 02 now?
give me one minute to relaunch and I'll try
nosir, it still gives me a "you were banned" message
when is this happen?
right 2 days ago
it was on Monday at 5:50pm
seems like the scripter able to use SysAdmin stuff to bann user.
@late kayak you may want to check this out.
well you just have to wait until dwarden respond, in the meantime gather information as many as you can regarding this scripter and the server USA02 the day u were 'banned' by this said scripter.
stuff like #arma3_official_servers message
There's really nothing more I can think of doing since it was a few days ago
Who do I tag to report an issue with an official server? As [OFFICIAL] Arma 3 CP by Bohemia Interactive (USA) #02 Everytime someone tried to connect they get a " Connection fail" message
And where is [OFFICIAL] Arma 3 CP by Bohemia Interactive (USA) #1 server?
probably undergoing maintenance, and since people still inside, the server still open but people cant get in
@sacred karma Can you point me in the right direction? See above please
they were, went down for while but they back
Undergoing maintenance or just down.
Any ETA on when they're back?
If it takes longer than expected, you may tag Dwarden and just ask him kindly. He normally answers quickly
or don't, because I'm pretty sure he already knows
It's not a question of whether they know or not but if players know or not. At least there is now a webpage showing simple status of the servers. Even I didn't know that page existed and just discovered recently after someone asked if something like server monitoring existed
it's even in the channel description ๐
Yep, the problem is simple: Nobody keeps checking channel descriptions, that is why I missed that too ๐
true, soo true
anybody know how to port foward thier router?
https://portforward.com/
Contains everything you need for (almost) any modem/router and game
does it work with portable router?
if the router supports it, why not
how to tell if router supports port forward or not?
Read the manual? Check the admin panel? Ask Google?
official CDLC servers were updated for SOG: PF 1.2
KOTH server down?
I have some compositions with ambient animations set in the init values, and whether they work or not seem kind of hit or miss depending on which server I'm on. Only 4 servers allow scripts like ZAM (in the US anyway, numbers 02, 02e, 02w and 04). which ones allow compositions with custom init values for things like ambient animations or vehicle color?
@late kayak US01E Warlords is not showing up in server list after last game finish. Need a bit of restart help.
รญt's back
where we can report a server abusing its powers?
its a modded server selling permissions
No, donations are still allowed. But remember โ a donation is a gift without any counter value. If your donators receive perks or rewards for donating then we no longer consider it a donation and you have to apply for the approval. these policy usersers
what is this about?
you'd have to contact BI by mail probably.
or any of the BI moderators
Arma 3 Combat Patrol USA #01 is bugged out if anyone can help
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Multiplayer_Server_Commands
You may restart the server manually, majority of the players just have to type following cmd into the chatbox:~~ #missions~~ #vote restart (if I remember correctly)
Late answer but hopefully this will help next time. If the allowed cmds in official multiplay still do not help, all you can do is tag Dwarden and hope he is awake to solve it
