It's a restriction for setting a variable, not for using some forbidden word
It's a anti cheating filter
Why it triggers on there, I dunno
yea so its the word "gay"
i just did it again with just the word "gay" and it kicked me for the same reason
yes, it's set that way, end of story
@wheat ember why are you gay?
I mean why you try to make separate gay squad and divide players in such way?
I think you will not like to see some "White mans matter" or "hetero squad only" group names so why you use such cheep propoganda in not related places like a videogame?
he fails to realize the word is on blacklist for completely different (hateful) reasons
correct me if im wrong but from what i see, it says that because of a chance for it to be used in a hateful way, its banned for everyone?
since the game's currently incapable of properly identifying context and identifying who is an LGBT person, yes.
and what about the random words... i saw people getting kicked for (if i recall) setting their squad name to grape jam.
is whoever set the variable on a personal vendetta against grapes or jam?
Most likely someone who understands that people also use other languages, abbreviations, replace letters, etc.
it's not random words, it's what abused ... anyway it's pointless to argue about it, it's set and that's it
and you need realize it ain't just usernames or group names, it covers marker names, variables etc.
I wasnt trying to argue in the slightest and if it seems like I am, it’s not my intention to. I’m just trying to understand why.
They blacklisted a bunch of words that 13 year-olds like to use to be insulting and which are often used by older people (that really should know better) in a hateful manner. Not that hard to understand. If you don't get it its simply sad. Stop trying to stir up an argument where there isn none.
to that i quote what i said in the last message
I wasnt trying to argue in the slightest and if it seems like I am, it’s not my intention to. I’m just trying to understand why.
@half stone
If i get ban in all bohemia official server for no reasons, where i send the ban appeal?
just DM me @solar jackal with the ban detail (code) included and just beware there is no reason most of time
unbanned, was false positive
Hey you guys know senior burrito he’s pretty cool
no
rule#3 no trolls allowed on official servers
Rule 4 no asking a zues admin to step down because checkpoints are painful in vanilla...
Rule#6 no disagreeing with the admin, or you're kicked
Rule 7 no or you’re kicked
What’s going on
Making fun of zues admins because they’re know for their colorful personalities
But this is #arma3_official_servers so no in-game admins 🤔
Zues admins<anything else
So uhh. Why is “Cpt.” A Banned word dwarden?
why are "banned" words even a thing? The game is already rated M.
M doesn't mean you are allowed to say something disrespectful to others/strangers
wouldnt it be better to just filter the words than kick people?
or better yet have a checkbox that says "im a snowflake" in the settings to enable censoring.
quite sure 'cpt.' isn't banned word
I changed my username from 1Lt. rogue to Cpt. Rogue and immediately got kicked for “bad name” changed it to MAJ. Rogue and everything was fine

Yes it is a bad name. Just tried it again
“You where kicked off the game. (BattlEye: Bad player name”
The army abbreviation for captain is a banned name...
it has nothing to do with me, it no setting i set nor control
who set up the battle eye name and word restrictions in that case.
I would contact BattleEye

Afternoon.
We've got someone currently CP exploiting on the official EU1 warlords server.
#warlords_discussion @muted thorn
? It's about the official servers, so makes sense to post here.
Although a better suggestion would be to send Dwarden as much information as possible (server, time, name/ID of hacker, etc.) in a DM.
@late kayak Any update if we'll ever get a limited Debug Console to official servers again, now that 2.0 is out?
Just bricked 5 full official arma 3 servers in less than 7 minutes. #winning
based
#winning
is there any good RP servers on arma? i saw a cool video about some professional looking soldiers and air force missions
pretty new here sorry so if you could point me in the right direction i would be greatfull
RP usually means civilian servers but i'm sure you mean mil(itary)sim(ulation) clans, in that case i'd recommend browsing #communities_arma3 and asking on #looking_for_unit
r/findaunit or the category on arma 3's steam discussions also work.
where can i file video reports of team killing and spawn camping as well as toxicity aimed to reduce the player base by being hostile to everyone and impeding any teamwork on warlords
Any advice on that would be nice otherwise I might have to quit warlords
lmao you expect someone to do something
go private bro
Official servers have no moderation
@obtuse imp If someone breaks the rules on the official servers, you can send a DM to Dwarden with information about rule breakers.
And they are moderated, just not 24/7
Thanks grezvany13
@obtuse imp you can always send the proofs to me, but unless i can clearly validate it via logs, there isn't much to be done
hey guys, is there any reason, that the warlords servers are locked? no one is able to join eu01 right now
They might be in the process of getting an update @paper echo
yeah, got the response from the admin in the game
Oki
God I hate those units which claim a big Public Zeus server to them. I understand that it's not easy to get servers running, but it's annoying to see servers become unavailable and non-public because you just get kicked when you join.
ironically i'm here to ask about that ^
if you get insta kicked from an official BI server because the admin there thinks he can just take control of a public server is that something i can report to someone? surely they can't just do that?
as in you try to join it and legit get kicked nanoseconds after because the jackass there thinks it's a private server (when it clearly isn't )
In some cases, users falsely believe its an Official server because some less than honest person put "Official" in the name.
In those instances where this isn't the case, speak to @ Dwarden , but be prepared to prove the EXACT name of the server (Don't just say Official US because that's not the full name). Additional info needed for "hackers" ( UTC time, servername/ip:port, playername / guid)
OK, thanks.
huh how odd, apparently one of the official zeus servers is currently hosting escape https://prnt.sc/wb4ohw
some servers allows scenario voting
Ah nifty
arma warlord server 1west is broken. Opfor cant select any of the last sectors it needs to win the game
west 1
that happened to me and a bunch of guys a week or so ago, we also could not call in aircraft and were told we did not own an airfield despite holding main and selakano
might be relevant to mention that we were crushing blufor at the time
happens
is there any official server for sea?
@magic sun im here for this too.
Warlords Redux server shows 3rd person view disabled in the browser but actually it isn't. Could this be changed? I feel if the server were changed to veteran difficulty, it would cater to redux fans better
Regular difficulty is fine for co-op but for PvP it's detrimental
Warlords EU server #11 is what I'm referring to
how to contact the warlords server admins?
Could try asking at #warlords_discussion instead? Just be careful not to crosspost.
Is there anyway I could use the direct channel as a zues and still be heard by players
global and direct(bit buggy) are the only channels in which zeus can be heard by players.
Ok but does the direct actually work? I went to 3 different official servers and couldn't be heard while using direct channel
Direct only works when you're close to someone
Has always worked for me
Lol
hey there, can anybody tell me how can i find KOTH servers?
tried hard, just not getting any
go to internet on the server browser
and filter King of the Hill
as it's gamemode
if you can't find any using the A3 launcher, try the in-game server browser
@late kayak im banned off of the official 02w public zeus server, and i dont know why. could you help me whenever it's convenient?
We just had a hacker steal a bunch of money from team mates on Official Warlords US 0e#1 they had a strange name starting with AI 713560791024938753 or a bunch of random numbers. I had over 10k credits and all of a sudden had less then 2k
https://ibb.co/8bpfns9 theres a screen cap of his name and this was US#01e Warlords
spooky link
hello, in official livornia warlords server im inmortal, its a bug?
can any1 provide clue?
@late kayak if you have a moment id like to bring a group to your attention thats been causing issues in pub zeus recently.
I know that the marksman dlc advertised advanced ai featuring suppression, but does that even work?
it does, the AI tends to throw smoke and lose accuracy when under high caliber or high intensity fire.
happens a lot for me.
Doesn’t seem to work for me in pubs then... no matter what round I fire at them, they always just go prone and fire at me... no smoke, no seeking cover. Just prone.... kinda makes the autorifleman useless
custom sounds are disabled in ALL official servers?
Not all, some.
hey i was globally banned from the official servers what can i do to revoke that
Nothing
No crossposting please, and if its a BE global ban the only thing you can try is contacting BE through their websites contact form @deep sundial
Don’t you love it when the number of EMPTY warlords servers is double the total number of zues servers
The last zeus US server just went down
servers were caught in MS OOB update queue ... all are back online for while
EU 01 Warlords 3:46 PM EST hacker bombing the entire server @late kayak
official servers were updated to 2.02 ☑️
Hey if anyone can confirm this, none of the official servers are working atm, they were fine yesterday but now once they start to populate everyone loses connection for about 35 seconds
If you didn't leave by then, you'll still be in the server
but it happens so frequently it's basically impossible to get a mission going
So I’m new to arma got the jets DLC and the marksman dlc what server do u guys recommend me to start on ?
Editor.
Get good at shooting and flying using that.
I spent a ton of hours in it learning how to shoot and even more learning how to properly fly and land the aircraft
so all zeus servers are with the today's #perf_prof_branch
Are there any plans to add the AAF tank to official warlords? Nato could have it with the net, while CSET have it without. It'd just a nice little vehicle
official server ||85.190.158.74:2302|| just had half of its players lose connection, and there is a definite huge desync happening. @late kayak
can't get the name since the server isn't responding to pings.
multiple servers going desynced to all heck.
not really sure if i should ping or who to ping in this case since dwarden has gone offline on discord.
guess it's just a matter of waiting for him to come back online.
is there any reason nun of my server are showing up in official my filters are ok
the thing is, nothing really changed between last 2.00 profiling and new 2.02 main/profiling except build names (and some typical MS OS update)
the profiling fixes for zeus are live on the servers already
well1:27:03 Kicking player name='^LoneFOx^' ID=..., steamID=.... Ping too high (587/ 499 ms) 1:27:03 Kicking player name='Lankercool' ID=..., steamID=.... Ping too high (501/ 499 ms) seems like connectivity threshold trigger, server itself was with fine fps
anyway i rolled some updates to all servers, so, i would need to know exactly when and on which server ip:port something bad happens, ideally with hint of your nickname or guid so it's easier to trace logs
and yep, it was another ddos...
Ah, Thats what i expected,
Did all official servers just shut down
Shouldn't
Well my whole game just shut down and it says all servers are offline
Where are you looking?
Arma Launcher server list being empty?
Nope
Arma wont even start
it will for a spilt second
Wait have a look on the servers on the offical website
they are all down
I think the website is showing false data
I can dm you a screen shot if you want
No they are all up.
https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/arma3/2166730
Yes the website is broken. But they are all online.
wired that makes no sence
i was just playing warlords then my whole game shut down
for no reason at all no errors or anything
Your Arma won't shut down because a server isn't online. thats a different issue
Useing the launcher
So do you click "play" on the bottom left, and just nothing happens?
cant even click play the launcher closes it self after it opens
And if i look on the arma offical mp servers it says they are all offline
The website shows them as offline but just ignore that website
tell 👀
all official servers up-to-date at 2.02 hotfix + #perf_prof_branch v02
Not allowed afaik
Yeah, it's called exploiting/hacking. I highly discourage getting into that
yes people are doing that without it being allowed (afaik)
I'd assume so
In the official server you dont (legally)
yes, not allowed by the rules
^ asked me how to do it in pm btw
You can't, its disabled on official servers because it was abused
vote yourself to admin
you now have vote kick/kick buttons on map screen
also you have #restart or #kick chat commands when you're voted admin
The section for the official servers in both the Arma 3 launcher and the in-game server browser does not display any of the official servers. I am required to use Battlemetrics.com in order to locate connection information for the official servers. What is the cause of this issue and how can this be resolved?
Known issue.
Cause: Things.
We are working on fixing it for the next Arma update
The absolute state
training as in for playing arma or playing zeus?
there's VR(not actual VR) training and prologue in the game for the former, and that'll be pretty much all you need.
there are training missions you can run locally, stuff like hell-heli for helicopter practice
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=173804041
I recommend watching YouTube and playing what you learn on NMD Sandbox
Except that the scripter will be banned soon 🤣
hey guys, on EU 01 Warlords, there is a hacker, that sucks up OPFOR, we have no chance to identify him. maybe you guys can help?
banned some cheaters but more to get that treatment
tfw you were playing pubzeus but server crashes
lol
submarine spam?
Don’t even need a submarine, servers crash on their own at this point.
@late kayak Can we get some more Zeus servers at the cost of like 2-3 Warlords? usually only 5-6 of the servers are active while the others are dead lol
I agree with that ^
19 of the 30 (ish) Warlords servers are empty while every pubzues server (including the odd german server) has players in it.
it depends on time, atm more than half warlords serves are with bunch of players and 4 are full , while more than half zeus servers are empty
anyway the lack of zeus servers is related to crashes
Yeah I get your point, just during high hours we get more people going for Zeus
ah rip, would be cool to see anything but no priority
anyway i will be adding more servers sometime soonish so zeus get some extra treat too
hell yeah
some dude named tourt (steam profile --->https://steamcommunity.com/id/42865/) just DDOS a Zeus server
Once the Vietnam DLC drops, can we get an Official Server for it like we got for GlobMob?
that is pretty much certain.
Why is it that when a server restarts it's likely to crash
It seems to be every time
it doesn't "crash", it's restarting the server. this will happen after a certain amount of mission ends on said server.
i think it's 4 missions till restart.
you can't bypass it either, since as long as the server's started the mission, no matter the method, it will count as a mission end. #restart, #missions, end scenario module, etc.
No, i mean when you type #missions and you get a message saying "connection lost" or something like that
"session lost", which happens when a server restarts/shuts down.
it'd be a crash if instead you got "no message received"
That's annoying
it's because previously you'd have servers run for like 8+ missions so the server's performance would degrade.
an occasional restart is required so the servers keep operating at top shape.
Keep in mind, top shape usually lasts 20 minutes, 21 every blue moon before it deteriorates into a mess.
I know.
Sometimes you find the rare server thats been up for 13 hours and feels better than one that just wiped.
facts, something about having a fullish game and restarting with a good group just kills everything
possible reasons, server crashed or server doing full restart, e.g. the largest Warlord servers are on full restart after each misssionEnd, while ZeuS servers after 4th
if you find server with terrible performance, please DM the ip:port (or full name) and GMT time when it happened
I see, often poor performance comes from servers that don't do cleanup or anything soooo
i see it so often that a list of terrible performance would rival a college thesis in length.
@late kayak 85.190.155.60:2402 seems glitched, the server isn't full according to the server browser (15/18 players) but it tells me max number of players reached. Steam Tells me the players are online for 34-36 hours straight. Is the server locked because of that maybe?
If its runing that long maybe a restart might be in order at any rate.
simmilar for 5.101.164.123:2302
thanks @gaunt shard this is very interesting info, both servers are crashed in unusual way
85.190.155.60:2302 is being trolled right now 😦
Fabian Castagana UID 2e09cbb2b6cff54e3c6647f611e603e2
We managed to kick him 🙂
Something either crashed or someone took down USA#4 after a player named Sunday and Thursday were kicked
Sunday is a known troll/ scripter
5.62.127.2:2402 and 5.62.127.2:2302 also known as Warlords (EU) #00a and #00b are empty and locked for some reason. Is this intentional? They have been all day as far as I have seen.
Lots of trolling today on warlords. We really need a way to tell who spawned any given vehicle. Players are deliberately parking their vehicles on the runways with AI in them, forcing us to blow them up to use the runway.
It is really annoying. Especially since on pub servers it is nigh impossible to kick people
I think there needs to be a hard limit on how many vehicles one can spawn at any given time and within a certain time.
all the official servers're on 147581, so they should be lil better, faster, stabler 
@late kayak When are we getting that sexy Prairie Fire Official Zeus? 👀
also if possible, give us like 3-4 because I think this DLC will hit better in official zeus than globmob
there are 28 official servers from BI for SOG, 7 per region, one of them is Zeus
there're additional servers from SOG team
We've got 4 servers running Zeus from BI (Thanks Dwarden!). We're keeping an eye on usage too, so there's always the possibility for more if needed.
4 regions, 7 instances each
there's not a single first-person server running the vietnam cdlc?
or am i just not getting the full list
Admins should be able to set difficulty, just vote someone admin
correct, but not on all servers, you sill be able to see that its locked on a difficulty if it is, usually the veteran ones
Really wish veteran diff had squad indicators on at the very least, that'd make it playable.
But not being able to see who's in your squad without checking their shoulder patch + not being able to see people's names makes it very annoying to play.
In the context of a private server with friends i can see the logic behind no names or squad indicators but on pub it's hell.
@late kayak Scripter active right now
Server: 85.190.155.60:2302
UID: 94a13702d80ae20b3611012106348bef
Name: Mike
hes spawning things that he should not be able to spawn with the Zeus interface
Like?
So what about it, Finn
if he isn't doing any harm, just let him do
go find a different server and basta
somehow it doesn't surprise me that the same person who advocates cheats kicks people over petty stuff
thats debatable
a few minutes ago
you cant go allowing cheats if every once in a while they use it for fun
ive been attacked by cheaters a few times in arma
doesnt really matter which gamemode
you cant go allowing it for different scenarios
youre missing the point
i dont think they are, my zeus experience is indifferent to someone spawning compositions, i dont care
i think cheating is a big problem
but yeah, probably shouldnt keep this up here
the mere fact that there is a cheater indicates a problem with battleye
naturally people will report it
only problem is that sure, at that moment the scripter is using scripts to spawn compositions and to make his own missions better, but eventually he'll be in a player role/SL role, get mad with the zeus/players and just ban them/ruin their mission.
when people have too much power they're bound to abuse it.
oh also i've seen this, even actively been a bystander to a cheater i knew who did it.
how about those times when children zeus and unit spam on the salt flats
ive had a scripter just make a better mission and we all enjoyed it a hell of a lot more than that childs mission
anyway to contact some sort of admin?
no
no
I've seen it, but this occurs in any position of power and isn't exclusive to cheaters
Every hint for people like Dwarden helps to eventually close gaps ... I personally don't like those people that can vote them selves admin by forcing a vote through a script ... because that's what eventually happens with all of them ... I report everything because only that will make pub zeus somewhat playable in the end, if you want fine control about your placements open a private server, get a mod and do it there,
to my knowledge scripting is still not allowed on the official servers, regardless on how you use it, there is no such thing as good/benevolent rule breaking ... trying to make up excuses just gives away that certain players feel entitled to the public playerbase and believe themselves above the rules ... we are not here for their enjoyment but for ours and we are here because despite the rules we found this to be a good place ... if you don't think so you can build your own community on your own servers with your own rules and mods
and to restate it: this conversation has been had over and over, result every time: "Scripting bad!"
They are hardly good guys.
It is the kind of mindset that leads to script using in the first place. They want control. And like I said above, they feel entitled to these things.
Public Zeus isn’t really playable, the sheer number of bugs and qol things that don’t exist make it as bland as humanly possible. At least scripts make things fun. All of the best missions I’ve played come from scripts
Then maybe public Zeus is the wrong place for you. I highly recommend a modded server for you.
Finn's in the right here dude, most of these scripters will happily power trip the moment it suits their personal needs, I've seen it time and time again. I'm sure there's the rare few that don't, but time and time again I've been affiliated with these people and they betrayed my opinion of them time and time again. There is no """"good"""" cheater, you're just a cheater. There's nothing worse than being affiliated with one of them and being forced to bystand as they go on a little power trip because if you say anything - better pray they don't find creative ways of fucking with you for the next month or so.
They aren't good people man, I don't care what they tell you or how they justify it.
A differing worldview has no weight on the validity of somebody's argument. Cheaters are bad. That is not a political discussion.
You are doing something that isn't allowed according to the rules.
I see what point you're making but - yes, you gain a significant advantage when scripting. You could say that they aren't gaining an advantage with zeus stuff but how can you know that they don't abuse in other ways in other places/times? If you guessed "You don't" you're correct. Most of these people might do good things in one server before turning around, changing their profile names, and then doing objectively bad things to players on another.
It's particularly funny when you recognize their steam profile and see them do bad things because they assume you don't know who they are.
Just scroll up and you'll find Dwarden state this countless times, you are not supposed to script on the servers, they closed the debug console for that reason. And the advantage you get is that you can hijack the servers as happens regularly. Your ignorance to the rules is astounding. You do something you are not supposed to do and then claim that you are helping. You claim to be some kind of online Robin Hood when really you just think yourself above the rules.
As for you, I don't intend to bring personal topics into this discussion, nor do I wish to continue discussing with someone who deletes their own messages while debating with someone.
Then I apologize for wrongly assuming. Still, will not talk about personal topics - unrelated.
We have this discussion here on a regular basis. Its the same with the calls for activating the debug console again. It always ends in chaos when its on and somehow it always returns to normal when its turned of. But hey ... Scripting allows for Banning players voting yourself admin through scripting and trolling excessively. None of that is good for the community. Minimising that is what Dwarden actively tries to do.
To claim that it is okay, when the studio that hosts the servers states that it is not is just lunacy.
Its like a bunch of kids after their mom told them "no more sweets" and they go, steal sweets from the cupboard and then get angry when she catches them.
All of that when mom is just concerned and trying to protect them from tooth decay. (or from trolls in our case)
the problem wasn't the good-scripting but the negative aspects of the malicious actors which over-weighting it ... also servers suffered badly due to crap code loops leftovers after the zeus or whoever did it left
anyone seriously skilled can cripple most (if not all) of public servers, because the engine is simply that moddable
Learning to verify your targets is part of the game
Problematic commands like serverCommand could be easily blocked with a CfgRemoteExec, but there is nothing you can do about crappy code I suppose.
There are a lot of new players because of the sale and so the official servers are somewhat like that at the moment. Your options are pretty much go to non official servers or wait until the new people from the sale learn to play.
especially not when the solution already exists as a drag and drop module in game.
which module would that be?
What does that module do?
Ah
there is way more than just one problematic command and even normal scripting commands can be abused to turn the server to snail crawling at 1fps ...
it also depends for what the module was written, was it sp or mp missions, how does it handle e.g. random FF or killing someone in vehicle (counts as FF) etc.
usually unless the FF solution yields nearly no false positives and when it has no forgive then it becomes endless annoyance and source of complains
Got a bugged objective in Mike Force #01
when isnt there one
Hi, anyone who knows how to fix a bug where the servers are only showing 0/1 players or 1/1 players and you get the error "Connecting failed." every time you try to join?
i have this i got the game tuesday havent been able to play a game wanting to refund if i dont get fixed
is here anyone who play Arma on a Offical Server an search a teammates for German language?
join a squad
@late kayak we recently had players on the Zeus servers (85.190.155.171:2302) that were un-kickable and obviously had Zeus access and admin access without being in the Zeus slot or having been voted admin. Also they could not be kicked by the voted admin or vote kicked by anyone (today at about 21:00 - 21:15 German time) sadly they messed with the server too fast for us to get the UIDs
!mute @halcyon cloud 14d name-calling, keeping going on in a not-so-smart way
Silence!! ò_ó
...
I keel u, @halcyon cloud!! Ò_Ó
Cum Shooter#6351 now has 2 infractions.
I keep on putting the time before the person, dangit
Here goes my dramatic effect
Yo @gaunt shard check this video out: https://youtu.be/fcOKxUtN37c
I explain the unit exploit that is used to make people “unkickable.” I also show how you can still kick them.
really wish someone actually made ticket and DM me about this (and dedmen)
yeah i guess until then it can simply not be fixed, shame.
why does the server kick zeuses for naming objectives ''capture this shit''
genuinely interested
I tried to make a squad named " gay marriage ok" and well, i got kicked by the serer... Not just shit
swears/slurs will get auto-kicked if inputted by a player, so just avoid them in general, code sadly cannot understand context.
based
I am pretty sure there are voice lines that swear in the campaign. Also gay is not even a slur, so this is just nonsense. This restriction should be removed, especially since there’s no apparent warning before you get kicked. It seems like these odd filters may have been made in a rush and possibly created with the intent to virtue signal. Either way it looks like not much thought was put into it other than “if (words == bad) then {kick}”
Yeah, it gets pretty annoying since some rather benign words are banned. I think I tried to name “Alpha 1-1 is Lame” and got kicked
I agree. Just the words and not the context behind them. Definitely a rushed and in the minute decision.
quite sure lame isn't blacklisted anywhere so the problem is something else
note: as all officials servers rotated the update, all servers're now on 2.04.147732 performance build from profiling branch
it's also quite funny how i can swear in chat, but as soon as i place down an objective with the word ''shit'' in them, i get kicked
Yeah, gets pretty annoying if you make a server with a silly atmosphere. I’m gunna see if alt codes get picked up too or not

I agree. Bohemia and the chat filter is like public schools and hoodies.
Fixing player complaints? Naw. Swear words in objectives??? Instant notice.
cant wait for no one to play in those servers
As much as I hate to side with BI on this, this take was cringe. Most of y'all do just complain about weird shit
Only thing that's an issue is that the modules for zeus are extremely lackluster but there's already a ticket for that and I doubt it'll happen since we've already had input on it with them saying it's "more than a one person job" lol
That’s what I mean, players complain about the modules not working and create tickets but nothing is done
the most ironic part is there is no chat filter , yet ...
IIRC Dedmen wanted to do something with the Zeus Modules someday... time will tell.
Please don't add a chat filter, if it works anything like the other filter it'll just be a hassle for the players if they have to type
there're things which needs to be punished, so i don't need to deal with the banned complainers who claim they never said any racial slur ...
That's fair but don't add cuss words into the filter. Your best bet to avoid it being hated on is just slurs being blacklisted
Racial shit sure, but slurs? No, that'd not be great.
Oh no, i cant use slurs anymore lmfao, whats bad about that
I mean it is funny
@late kayak ur here ?
Frankly, this just proves the filters were rushed out. Why would you add filters for things like the hint module and group menu but not the chat? Makes no sense to me. The current system of just instantly kicking people is garbage. An example of a better implementation would be to simply have each client bleep out **** bad words on their end by default, and have a setting that the user could switch off in the options menu like “chat filters,” “family-friendly mode,” or “snowflake mode.”
pretty sure the reason it's able to detect so on hints and group menus is because they're already made to output text to be read by a script
chats don't, and reworking that is too much effort for BI as of right now.
i just need to know where i make a report
what rushed out, did you realize he is complaining about chat filter while there is none ?
gotta to love random comments about things one don't understand ... oh wait ... it's internet ... nvm
I'd support the idea of a "filter mode" however. Best take, both sides are happy.
I would honestly rather have a time-warning system than instantly kicking. All I hope is that you guys have some creativity with it and don’t do instant blanket kicking
instant kick is simplest method next to bans ... asking for multilayered approach for repeated offenses or timed warnings is what you can request from new system, not adhoc post-mortem solutions
bigger question is why even bother kicking people for mean words on a rated M game? truly baffling. i would support a kicking system for mass teamkilling though, surprised that hasn't been implemented yet in any capacity on these servers
because arma 3's context for teamkilling is a bit iffy.
like how if you have a door gunner in your helo shoot friendlies that TK will be awarded to you, the pilot.
or a vehicle blows up and the driver/commander gets it as teamkills.
this is what you have voted admins for, to understand the context and give punishment accordingly.
true, but that can easily be solved by setting a high threshold. say.. -15 score, or something like that. that's pretty hard to "accidentally" reach in any capacity, in fact it is pretty much impossible to do in most cases unless you go out of your way to berserk
two crashes with a helo...
bomb collateral...
not to mention that teamkilling counts for civvies and not just players.
and people love shooting civs in pub zeus.
bomb collateral i've never seen anyone fuck up that hard, even the biggest of idiots. heli crashing is fair, which is why it's a good thing it's just a kick so they can rejoin at some point, yes?
just have the voted admin deal with it.
i agree, that is the preffered solution, but we can't have nice things anymore so
-15 score is a wasteful threshold because by that point the dude would've left or caused more than sufficient damage, or the admin finally got off his butt and would've taken care of it.
?
voted admins are a thing.
the only problem is that the voted admin isn't necessarily the right one.
yeah, i am making the implication that people are way too mentally depraved to even do something as simple as voting an admin properly, so there should be a secondary countermeasure
mine dispensers. people keep running into those.
instant kicks are the dumbest thing to put into arma becuase it all relies on context
and you can't teach a computer context
i mean honestly like yeah you want my honest opinion? ANY kick filter is really dumb and spits in the face of average-good players while also failing miserably to punish the people it is meant to punish. instead of implementing any filters, it would be wiser to simply target the individuals who consistently cause problems. ask any official server player and they could easily name specific people from the tops of their heads who have been fucking with people for literal years with no ban or any punishment at all - even after the chat filter implementation for slurs and the like
i'm just trying to cope, dare i say, seethe, with the fact that we already have one of these useless filters - might as well go all the way and at least try to implement something that would at least sometimes work
hey guys, someone named Senior Burrito/Sergeant Burrito is going thru Official Bohemia Zeus servers and DDoSing all of them he finds...
anyone got any ideas?
Nope
Thats not realistically feasible with how arma handles teamkills nor is it necessary
Code will never understand context, teamkilling is a context based thing
Yeah, no thank you.
I'd rather one broken thing than a million broken things
This guy has been doing this since before I started playing Arma. Absolute lad on a good day, does this on a bad
Moment he shows up in the server type #beclient players in the chat, get his GUID and send it to dwarden in a DM and tell him about the ddosing.
Page up and page down allows you to scroll chat if you miss it.
actually good tip, never saw that
he's been reported many many many times by now, clearly nobody cares and nothing will happen to him, your best course of action is to just leave if you see him/take a break from public servers
Probably because nobody is actually ddosing
fools
honestly, sometimes people say ddosing without understanding what ddosing is
actually it's mostly
i doubt he's ddosing, i'm mostly talking about being such a plague to the community he's usually a kick on sight for most servers
Neko iz srbije?
how are you going to tell him english only, if you know he doesn't speak it.
That's how we do
I was just curious since I remember doing this, but are custom faces not allowed anymore on some official servers? I remember submitting a ticket that got left by the wayside and not really having an answer
hi
it's inconsistent, some do and some don't.
lanker is correct, for whatever schizo reason, half the servers allow it while the other half does not, so if you use custom faces it means you get locked out of like half the servers since they have that option disabled completely, it'd just auto kick you. remember running into this bs a few years back when i tried custom faces.
Another glorious server tweak by Bohemia..
Yeah, I made a ticket but we all know about their fantastic support/feedback/whatever staff
“Hey can I get some help with this issue” “no, here’s a $60 dlc that adds some suits and a new hat :- )”
there's a difference between third party devs creating content for the game and the like 3 first party devs working on the game's stability.
I’m meaning that support tickets get spotty assistance if any and player petitions get nothing regardless of how much player attention it gets.
i mean what i posted was a pretty large request so i'm not surprised it hasn't been done yet, can't speak for anything else.
custom files are disabled, the reason is abuse of custom sounds and similar issues with custom files (e.g. crashes but those are fixed now)
ticket where?
you again ranting about things w/o knowing the reasons why are certain things set or used as they are
Uhh I think I remember seeing that one
it was on purpose, some servers were with blank configs on purpose (testing defaults) or when newly setup (e.g. replacements)
nvm different one
ye i'd expect it to be purposeful, would like a list of which are and which aren't tho
the expected state for custom files is disabled ...
completely now?
is it maybe possible to enable custom faces for the people that do use them at the very least?
nope, custom files means both face and sounds ... there is no way to separate it in server config
Is it only a yes/no option, or is it possible to set a certain size thats allowed?
there is value for size in bytes, 0 means disabled
If its a certain size, it might be possible to find a size that allows basic faces but no sounds, no?
unfortunately the abuse with sounds/voice samples was actually way smaller than the face filesize
Ahh okay fair
it's similar problem client's side UI lacking option to ignore custom sound / face(s)
and the lack of automatically chose default face when server has no custom faces etc.
i'm certain there is more than 1 ticket from me about those in past 12y
Hm yeah, thanks for explaining it 
i will keep trying but no promise on new/alternative settings
I vivedly remember people asking for view distance to be increased on the public zues servers to 4km like In warlords a well as a feedback tracker that got some attention but nothing from the mods.
Also, apologies about the ping. I forgot to disable the ping upon reply.
we've been over this already, it's something to do with the scenarios themselves.
you'd need to edit the scenarios to fix this issue which dwarden cannot do far as he's said.
That’s great. Thank you for letting me know why aren’t the scenarios able to be edited?
needs to be done by BI devs themselves
dwarden's area of expertise isn't the scenario scripts far as i know, and the warlords scenarios were made externally by a BI dev before actually being integrated into vanilla ArmA.
So none of the BI devs are able to fix it?
What about perhaps adding a script that can add a player adjustable view distance instead?
its props less than being able to, but more about the effort of doing it
that'd mean having a bi dev write a script like that
Unnecessarily complex and will likely be dismissed for that reason. It'd be better to just ask for a change from 1600 to 3000 or something similar
Also @half stone cool that you have good intentions and whatnot but you are horrible at communication and asking for things. Nobody wants to do anything for someone when the person is attacking them and being a pain. Also you're somewhat consistently misinformed on most of these topics, the Zeus mission files and official servers have nothing to do with CDLC
Thank you for letting me know, I’ll try to change with that.
Last thing I'm saying is that custom faces and sound files are the lowest priority thing we could want changed or updated with pub zeus. More important things are new modules, farther view distance, and debug console (incredibly unlikely)
I'd love to argue for the debug console but it never gets anywhere lol
ye well if you get debug console and scripting , you can enforce the viewdistance but just as with most of the good things, it was used for the bad ones
Yeah, I understand that. Didn't at one point you say you might look into enabling it on a few specific servers? Is that idea still a possibility so it can be tested out?
the Zeus+ #D server in EU runs that, it's just slightly more but no debug console ofc
What exactly is different with that server?
just improved rights for the curators
Warlords us1w is having some major frame drp
lol bad pc
If BI added player adjustable view distance to Arma 3, it would be best to have the functions accessible to all mission makers, and not reliant on Warlords framework or Zeus. That would be best for everyone. Then all missions could use it. Maybe a player menu dialog with earplugs as well.
But you can bind a key for earplugs and just press END.
Earplugs feels like a useless function now that the map mute feature is a thing.
That's just me though, never really had to use those scripts before.
In regards to the view distance it's accessible and easy to set up on player created missions, the problem is specifically the BI default scenarios that don't use this.
If you mean specifically the ability to adjust it beyond the mission-selected distance, i think that is on purpose esp in regards to PvP missions in order for one player to have an advantage over others because of the ability to simply see further.
Aren’t most engagements done at fewer than 600m, much less 1.5km
As infantry
you need to realize it first needs to be enforced from server but also on mission config and then via scripting, not just clientside option
Oh, forgot about vehicles
ye you would need to have something called dynamic view distance e.g. based on weapon / optics you use, then vehicle you in plus position/role in vehicle and also altitude
I noticed Public Zeus servers runnig a bit slow lately. Noticed on EU#1 (85.190.155.60:2302) and EU#3 (85.190.155.171:2302). Low frames, huge bandwiths, stuttering when in map view.
Also noticed on EU#2 (85.190.155.60:2402) @late kayak
EU#1 while you were ingame :
11:22:17 Server load: FPS 936, memory used: 1478 MB, out: 231 Kbps, in: 71 Kbps, NG:0, G:0, BE-NG:0, BE-G:0, Players: 9 (L:1, R:0, B:0, G:8, D:0)
the only suspicious fact is that server FPS is 2x the maximum 🤣 but no script errors or anything out of ordinary, the other servers are 200-500 fps normal range
Should check to see if other people experienced the same
At the same time, that is.
he was getting kicked for signature timeouts ... so maybe something on his computer eating all the cpu ?
It was probably arma 3 itself
Goodmorning everyone,
I would like to include, in the base we use in the mission, the complete management of the drones, from the pilot to the mechanic to the ammunition officer, etc., etc.
At this moment I find it difficult as I cannot find the figures necessary for complete management. I'm trying to add and remove characters but it's getting chaotic. There is somewhere a diagram or table where you tell me which are the figures to insert. for example . To manage the fixed wing drones it is necessary to have: Weapons refueling officer, fuel officer, mechanic, fuel truck, ammunition truck .... ???? etc etc, including land vehicles?
Thanking you in advance just for reading me I wish everyone a good weekend.
Sorry do you mean whats done in real life, or whats needed in game? also this seems more like a #military_materials (maybe) question
in the game, thanks
Ah, in the game to manage a drone you pretty much just need a drone operator (that actually controls the drone) and maybe an engineer at base to rearm/refuel etc
although depending on how your drones are managed, operator and engineer can be the same person too
( for example if the drones are operated from the base)
On EU #03 it was all of us experiencing it. Well all of us that used a mic anyway. Some people check their boxes before they ask here. Blaming this kind of stuff on peoples hardware or connection is a cheap cop-out most of the time.
Thanks for checking. I'll keep an eye open if it keeps happening and report back.
Thanks for your help

Already been attempted, can't currently be done.
why?
If you want to know more just search for dwardens messages in this chat
hi i got banned from offical servers 2 years ago is there a way to get unbanned?
note: this is not a balteye ban
Judging by how you're the only person who ever has issues imma just guess it's a you thing
The admin on Public Zeus (USA) #03 Is kicking everyone who joins
Best to copy their GUID if possible, type in #beclient players to find it. Otherwise, try to grab their steam account.
I couldn’t kicked me and all my buddies as soon as we joined
People do that shit all the time because it bothers them too much to host their own servers so they go on official ones get admin and kick everyone else
Yeah the issue is sadly still a common one. My advice is attempting to go on steam and see who you last played with - with luck, you can find the name of the guy.
When i do #beclient players i cant read them all because it goes to high up in the chat
and you cant scroll
you can scroll by pressing page up and page down when the chat prompt is open.
ok thanks
is anyone on Warlords 01West needs a reset
@late kayak possible to remove the forced difficulty that some servers have? it doesn't really help and only restricts, specifically with EU #0D that is the only server with the highest composition script perms but is locked to veteran difficulty.
check 2402 (#0B) server it has =2 now
solid, thanks.
how do i restart a server
a public BI one just start the mission and do #missions as admin over and over till it restarts, unless you just mean the mission which in that case just do #missions and select a new scenario, you need to be admin(voted) to do this.
where do I find whitelisted mods for arma 3 public zeus?
it's only the profiling mod on steam, nothing other than that.
said mod only working in profiling branch.
where find profiling mod
i dont know the name of it or where to find it
first off you'll need to get into the profiling branch, which is explained here:
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Steam_Branches
this branch will give you the ability to access custom compositions in pub zeus.
and then you'll want to use this mod with it:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2419451036
which contains various performance improvements for arma.
thank you very much
this will help out a ton
np
No its not the mod. Its profiling branch
Yeah i clarified on it.
I m not sure if i could get some help but greatly need it, im trying to launch a mission with mods on it but this error keeps on coming up, all said pbos are in the server

but they are not loaded, via the command line parameters
also see channel description, wrong channel
sorry!
all mods with those PBOS are added to the start.bat
well they aren't loaded. maybe typo
ok ill keep ya updated, which channel should i put this in for next time
@late kayak pub zeus USA #01 experiencing massive amounts of desync, reported by other people in the server too.
actually, pretty sure it just crashed.
nothing special was happening either, no custom comps or anything.
east or west ?
west
ITS THE EXPLOIT
yeah a person is exploiting by putting marker and just crashing server
It's happening on eu servers too
ye, we're aware, please wait till next profiling branch build rolls out
how does one spawn a smoke pillar?
i've already tried doing it through the profiling branch, but that doesnt seem to work
nor do any scripts
is there a fix for it?
have to be on certain servers that have a high script level.
which server would that be?
#0D and #0C
thanks
and #0B
what about 0A?
most likely none allowed
zeusCompositionScriptLevel=0 , 5.101.164.123:2302
zeusCompositionScriptLevel=2 , 5.101.164.123:2402
zeusCompositionScriptLevel=1 , 5.101.164.123:2502
zeusCompositionScriptLevel=2 , 5.101.164.123:2602
where did you get that
np
0D doesn't allow the scripts
destroyed vehicle parts, smoke, dead soldiers in poses
i was on EU
how do i know?
well if you made the composition
i didn't, i copy pasted after googling for scripts i need
either way you should ask either dwarden or dedmen about it
this setCaptive true;
this setDamage 1;
0 = this spawn {waitUntil {time > 0}; _this switchMove "KIA_passenger_injured_medevac_truck02"};
is this global?
i have none lmao
dedmen is in charge of the profiling branch and dwarden is the server manager, ask either for help on it.
right
i'll do it once i feel like risking my neck

anyway thanks for the help, cya
no fr
you got it in reverse https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Server_Config_File , 2 allows
all the servers're on 2.04.148049 from #perf_prof_branch
he means the compositions he used didn't apply their scripts
for unknown reasons
pings @hearty tartan and @clever dawn and hides inside the unfixed ultra large rock LOD
¯_(ツ)_/¯
not just the scripts, it didn't apply the ''smoke'' module neither
modules are technically scripts too
@late kayak Today on 18.08.2021 till 20:21 (21:21 CZ time) at least on Zeus Server EU #4 (IP 85.190.155.171:2402) player with UID 5eea10a95c370ff75c7fd98e028d31bf was scripting. Not maliciously, but still.
people keep getting kicked for #CREATEVEHICLERESTRICTION kinda nonsense i was just crawling prone then get kicked in warlords, anyone know a fix
which server? if it's restriction with id #1 then you for w/e reason became seagul
all the servers're on 2.04.148090 from #perf_prof_branch
US.E1 WARLORDS server don't know if it's a bug or someone doing scripting, however power plant cant be captured by OPFOR for some reason even if the sector is empty?
Why the bug related to the inability to capture the sector even if it is empty has not yet been resolved !?
did you set it so the side the players are can capture it?
Is there a feedback tracker ticket about that bug?
how do i find an admin to help in an online game?
can someone join zeus EU#0D im lonely
no lmao
@merry mist embrace lonliness coward
@late kayak Today between roughly 1400 and 1600 German time on Warlords EU 01 (85.190.155.53:2302) Nato units (several AI) were turned invincible. Server restart is required since any progress right now is impossible. Impossible to win even though we have Nato pushed back to Kavala.
what are all the zeus official servers that allow init scripts in objects?
@marsh pewter an explanation on how to make a co-op mission server step by step
if your friend keeps disconnecting without an error message wait on the mission select screen for him to join, then choose the mission.
can some1 help me with hosting server for friends
.
always funny when you tell people the server is slated for restart and they don't believe you after you locked the server 🤣
nah, i was just in rcon

If i ever see you on warlords ill make sure to bomb you dwarden :D
Can't even recount how many times I got bombed on warlords 
Funnily(depending on which side of the bomb your on) it happens quite frequently 💩
i dont know if this is the right channel to use but does anyone know if i can appeal for a WLBSLUR ban. Just found out what it was after coming back from a couple month break and found out what the ban was and wondered if i can get it appealed at the minimum
ping me if anyone has a answer please
Via Dwarden directly
But.. If you really did what you were banned for (which you did as all bans are given after manual review) then the appeal success chance is low
yeah i did and it was when i was younger
💩 thats cap
shouldn't these people get a global ban?
if they cheat in the game, it HAS to be hacks, right? then you are just getting rid from them on 1% of servers...
there are exploits, some will be closed next patch ... others will become trackable next patch ...
trackable as to make it easy to catch a large amount of script kiddies at once or trackable because the problem itself is complicated to solve?
I think its a ban for use of bad language ... just don't use insults curse words or the likes on PUB servers ...
even if I am wrong about the nature of the ban just don't use insults and the likes 🙂
yeah i learnt what the ban was for and i only acutally noticed it after months of not playing
What a bummer. Battleeye is absolutely absurd
i curse all the time in public servers and haven't been banned
i think his ban reason is in the name..
voice or chat? voice of course is irrelevant. also afaik not all words are on the list, I remember there being a undefined list of bannable words according to the Man.
anyone know any other gamemodes similer to koth
chat
I've cursed a fair bit in chat aswell and haven't been banned.
I think it's only in specifics to username/squad.xml/really offensive words e.g. n-word and its derivatives or r-word and its derivatives.
Unit names are also checked.
it's specific type of ban for racial slur ... not some bad language
if you do same in any of our discords or BIForum and other similar/social networks ... you get instant banned too

hey why do you get kicked until server restart now if you get kicked via vote kick
usually when i get vote kicked its until mission restart but i got vote kicked in EU #0B zeus it kicked me until server restart
Wait why US01w Warlord locked?
usually pending restart
EU03 WL server targetting OPFOR base will select Sagonsi Harber instead
some of official servers facing technical issues, working on resolving those ...
USA #02 some random admin kicking on join.
just now..
Some brad or bradl
Arma 3 CP USA #02
I don't think the Warlords US east server came back after the end of the last game
hmm looks like both US warlord server are down
Warlords US 01e, we have a hacker playing that loud horn
you can play custom sounds without cheating, it's an arma feature.
custom sounds are disabled on official servers, so he uses default ingame sounds
nevermind then.
Update on the horn situation in Warlords US 01e, Alex just got kicked by Battleye for Delete Vehicle Restriction after he deleted my jet.
was the jet full of soldiers and vehicles ?
because the log says the delete contained dozens soldiers, quadbike, truck and apc etc.
Dwar is the Log open to public?
All vehicles on the server were deleted as well as some teammates reporting the loss of their ai at the time of the incident.
oh, so cheat ... now i get it ... sorry i misunderstood the report i thought it was the deconstruct of vehicle
So where to see Server's Log?
nowhere, it ain't public ...
well, banned he is ...
thank you
we are facing another hacking kiddy right now on warlord official server EU01
that crazy sound horn, assets disappearing and whatsoever...
ye banned too
quick question why the hell does USA 02 not appear when i search for it anymore
specifically the zeus one
did you steal my USA 02 zeus server dwarden
nvm
God i love ZAM
noob!
god i love zam
@late kayak
May I ask to restart the server EU01? we fail to get majority of votes bc lot of people afk, just in case you are reading this and have freetime for us lol
joon, still needed ? i will do it soonish (not immediately)
Hey, thanks for replying. We somehow managed to finish the round over the last hour, its ok now, just waiting for the server to restart (hopefully restarting)
What do u not love ZAM
What?
Gonna ask here too.
but did something happen to us#04?
my game froze and crashed (something that has never happened to me before)
and when I checked back the server had lost half the playerbase
Yeah, it went from 14 players to 3 in 6-7 minutes
you need to be always more specific which 04, ideally by ip:port
Zeus USA#04, if that helps, going to need to start my game to check the IP.
ye, i see all the steam auths became invalid and people lost connectivity ... there was at similar time ddos attack on that datacenter so maybe related ...
Last night on one of the CP servers (couldn't say which) a guy named Donald or Ronald "something", started teamkilling everyone with what seemed an aimbot. I was admin but the kick stopped working (for all players I believe), he also constantly rejoined with different nicks. He proceeded to make my PC freeze 100%, where only a reset would work. I'm 100% sure it was him because I rejoined the server and instant froze again. RPT gave me this: Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at C26374C3
Hello
Player "BigNick" on Warlord EU3 is just sitting on Molos airfield and blowing up friendly vehicles [empty ones]
He blow up 4 of my vehicles.
Link to 3 screnshots https://imgur.com/a/72LDQor
on 1st We can see him on the map
2nd he blows up my 1st heli [ you can also see my qulin that he blow up earlier]
3rd He TKs me after I get into my 2nd heli
2nd TK + he blow up Kajman https://i.imgur.com/Ne95wgm.jpeg *
I cant confirm but as far I know He possibly blow up 2 other air vehicles
3rd TK https://i.imgur.com/iQJAl0p.jpeg
Also player that I cant say his name becasue is using russian? "Knpnnn"[Sometihng like that] letters lost 1 Ifrit and 1 heli becasue of his friendly fire
i will need to take look if i can do something simple about the vehicle TK (planes/helicopters spawn)
@late kayak If I remember this right vehicles were invincible but for not long enought 5-10s? after spawn*[or he just did miss a lot of shots]
Also If you are not aware helis sometimes have a bad landing when they spawn, maybe its just me but around 1/3 of them did land with some kind of damage but I think its AIs fault for landing bit to fast.
Thanks for the respounce and have a nice day!
also we got channel to discuss WL #warlords_discussion
When you kill a green strider but die first after launching the AT, the kill counts as -1 just like teamkill lol
to be precise, -3 infantry and -1 apc xD
happened in EU03 between 21:32 and 21:34 UTC+1
@late kayak
I suddenly flipped into the air and experienced blackscreen that even blocked my entire desktop from operating on one of my two screens, i was forced to sign off/on windows to get out of that, happened on Warlords EU01 between 22:55 and 23:00
just happened AGAIN right now
this time I saw at least 10 more being thrown into air and dieing
repeating issue 01:02 for the gamelog
ty, keep up reporting when it happens
17:38 US01w
Blufor chose Molos Airfield while closest sector in their hands is Athira and Opfor fighting in Therisa. Is that possible? lol
No.
Reporting teamkillers: names are : 4500 , olive , Admin
Admin and 4500 got kicked for teamkilling and olive left a while after
Server: Warlords 01w 5:30 PM UTC
just updated it
another hacking report:
US01w audio hack again, this horn-like sound spam
just started at 23:00
Where are all the Altis Warlords servers? :/
Gone, thank god.
Reporting player:
Nunez, and FlashTrades excessive teamkill and Zeus abuse in Server Zeus USA#02 UTC 9:12
normal zeus
btw, why do people always use servers for scenarios other then their purpose, im saying this because EU 0B zeus is running escape 10 tanoa instead of yknow, zeus
Probably because you can change difficulty on those servers, while on the COOP servers that run escape by default you can't.
empty server is an empty server, doesn't matter which to them.
having access to admin is a plus i suppose
EU 0B is locked on regular
most zeus servers are locked on a specific difficulty actually
Hmm, must have changed. I remembered a time where they weren't.
USA 02 is the only server i know that isnt locked on a specific difficulty however
cause 0A-0D are sort of test server so it wasn't locked mission selection
Will Warloard server will come up again or they all gone?
they will come back
is the EU 0A server bugged? can't seem to join (connecting failed), also 0/18 players since a while.
i will restart all 4 (so they locked now) and put new profiling build on them
note: servers undergoing update cycle
yes, haze all 112 instances were updated ...
ye zeus servers are broken, i can connect but when i see others try to connect it instantly disconnects them
when i try to join USA 02 i get
"Session Lost - Verifying PBO failed:
mark/addons/functions_f_mark.pbo"
@merry mist the answer is up there
I get kicked from my own Zeus very cool
CDLC servers were updated, including 3x6 for Western Sahara
Were you a bad Zeus?
That do be public zeus
ya have to live up to it
So yeah. A Zeus without a mic really is annoying to deal with
but sometimes zeus without mic can be fairly interesting
Not really, it damages pacing
They only reason to turn off your mic is if there’s a comms blackout in game, but even then it’s just difficult to do anything about it
Literally asked what they wanted to do man
🤷
happens on pub
don't feel much about it and move on, and try again on a diff server
Yeah but I had hours of work into it
And a extremely large mission I was building for an hour straight
Then get a mic or something. It doesn't matter how much work you put in not having a mic is really infuriating to deal with as a player
just FYI, all the official CDLC servers were rebooted (WS hotfix dataset)
Yay? so does this mean WS Zeus is fixed too?
please check, i guess that's more question on the WS developer
Is the admin voting fixed on those servers?
you can pick the admin before mission start ...
oi, zeus USA 02 has been down for a while
thanks, another freeze crash, it's back
@late kayak is this allowed, dude used scripts to make entire server vote him admin on EU 0B
i'll send picture in dms
damn he left
he also had the scrapped brown retexture of the AAF uniform on while being blufor which should be impossible
When people leave is actually the best part to find out their info as they show up as the most recent player you've been in a match in when you open your steam overlay and go to Open/View Players > Recent Players
Any one can help i just bought the game and iam a noob just need help so i can start having fun with this game
Yeah what do you need?
can anyone help me out im new to the game
can someone plz help me out in this game cuz i dont know what im doing
play the prologue
play the training mode(called "VR Training")
once done go play whatever gamemode you fancy
when you're in-game, click "P", server name is at the top of the scoreboard (provided you can see it)
oof
@late kayak
Server US01e UTC 01:00 (you may trace 15min backward too)
Just asking, how is it possible to fly a ghost hawk with slingloaded ammobox and rearming during flight? that blufor guy even claims that ammobox doesnt dry out for flares
I dont deny the possibility that helicopters may survive some incoming sam missiles but its really unlikely that a ghost hawk can survive all the way from aac airfield to ghost hotel/nidasos with limited flares
the rhea was placed in nidasos btw
if you can spare some time later, would be great if you checked this because as far as i know, you have to stop moving to rearm, you may turn around your own axis but as soon as you change position, rearming stops automatically
yeah you can't rearm without stopping
I checked all possibilities out of curiosity once more and two questions remain unsolved whatsoever.
If you fly steady, distance between bird and ammo box remains same and system may consider this "not moving" too. By pointing your 3rd person view angle you may activate rearming which works for vehicles on ground pretty much the same. My first question remains if flares are one exception to the rule and the ammo box doesnt dry up?
2nd question is how you survive by flying steady and facing all incoming missiles head-on? especially 30 missiles and even if you fly steady, the box is moving around from time to time too
this sounds like a very garbage theoretical
you're better off sling loading an automated/manned vehicle with a big gun using a huron or mohawk and do better than just flying around with a box.
Has the status of custom faces on official servers changed?
nope, should be disabled (cause the value controls also custom sound samples)
we have another issue, this time server US01e, there are blufor AI soldiers inside opfor base but not dieing at all, 01:15 UTC+1
We unlock vehicles and they are immediately locked again, you sometimes have to unlock three times until its really unlocked, please check this by any chance
i did nothing in relation to vehicles lock states
3 of us faced the same issue, it looks like as soon as one AI boards the vehicle, its automatically locked again, we have no idea why either
the same happened when i boarded the vehicle, its automatically locked
@late kayak
Sorry that I bother you again, we have this horn hack issue on server US01e UTC+! 23:55 - 23:58 both teams are hearing it as usual
the ai and the lockin all kinda sound like someone fockin with the server
i fail to understand todays teens who take fun in hacking a game, must be fun to humiliate others with such cheats because they fail to do the same with legit ingame abilities
but most annoying is this sound hack and activating horn alerts to both teams
“Today’s teens” lmao 👴
i even have a wonderful idea, every player has to register with his personal identity (e.g. passport no.). a ban would have a totally different meaning after that.
new ip? new game license? name change? well good luck with that lol
that might work for MMO with montly fees or similar, it will become way harder for anything else (you would drastically limit your sales options)
literally 1984
Well, in one way that is precisely the real problem, but MMO went uptside down too. Do you know any who survived with monthly sub.? People went nuts with "free to play" and providers started to sell "premium services" for a small fee which later ended in culture of "pay to win". Now the real funny part is that the very same people who yelled for f2p suddenly paid money to have these premium advantages. A study showed they even paid far more than before with monthly subs lol
selling premium services isnt automatically bad either by looking at riot games as example. they focused on one single game and made it far more successful than its original counterpart dota... (which still hurts for many veterans who loved this game, me too btw) lets be honest, they sell total crap such as style gear and other irrelevant items for the gameplay itself but hey, if people wonna throw money for this, dont stop them
Anyway, my idea would stand a chance if its mandatory for all online game providers by law. the same way EU forced an entire mobile market to decide for one universal interface which is now known as USB-C (although Apple tries hard to stay on lightning all alone 🤣 )
That sounds absolutely miserable. The only way to keep your privacy would be through cracking the game. Consumption and spread of cracked media would jump extremely high
Not to mention the security and privacy concerns
As losing your username and password wasn't bad enough, you'll be at risk of having your passport be known.
Im a fan of privacy but look at Google and Facebook, we are throwing our data to them free of charge already 🤣
I think we are beyond that point long ago. USA went nuts with patriot act, EU is aggressively trying to protect privacy of its citizens but if they throw their data out of the window, we are not to blame you know
There's a big difference between companies selling your interests plus general info like age and gender and having hold of your passport information.
Yes, I agree.
The only question is how to verify general info such as age without passport or identity card? dealers have a responsibility to check age before selling alcohol, tobacco or video games rated +16/+18 and they cant do that without having these very information. online shops are the best showcase. this is why im saying we are arleady onboard, they have our information already.
relating to vendor machines selling tobacco, they have a system checking the genuineness of personal identity cards. im afraid we crossed the point of no return, i mean try to use android w/o sharing your info with google, all those convenient services do not work anymore
this is why people resisted biometric passports for many years but they are forcing us anyway now. if such data leaks, we have movie-like abuses in reality and im not sure if a passport number alone can hurt us this much like someone actually having your passport or your biometric information
Identity theft isn’t a joke, but this is pretty far off topic
It can hurt a fair bit to have your passport number be stolen mind you, not to mention you'll need to have even tougher security on online game providers to protect this info and have way more trust in them to do so, instead of the alternative of creating anti-cheat systems which is way less privacy-invading and most likely not as money draining.
A phone number for one would be much more safer
dont get me wrong, i really mean no disrespect, but i fail to find any possibility to get something done with just your passport number alone (or im simply a bad talent for criminal career lol 😆 ). whatever i would try to do, i still need further information or papers such as your picture, a copy of your card and more.
the problem of anti cheat is exactly the same for anti virus and anti piracy. they are always one step ahead. you cant live without these protections but they are far from thinking ahead. drm policy failed too, they wanted you to stay connected to the servers as long as you play but did not guarantee any stable connection. most of them published an offline patch after the epic feedback tsunami.
yes, an experiment with phone number would do. that makes quiet a lot of players reconsider before they have to buy a new game license and organize new number for another round of cheats n hacks
i strongly believe in lazyness of people 🤣
and then there is parents buying game for their kids
all official CDLC servers restarted with WS #western_sahara update
cagemoon on official servers when?
@late kayak
EU01 Server 21:20-21:35 UTC+1
Is there any official measurement against spawncampers (additional edit: i mean base respawn camping) and this old tactic hiding darters inside base to block teleport and one spy hiding among team deleting all markers on map to prevent us from removing those darters?
Spy huh sounds like a troll player, better ban them before they ruin another game.
You can even place darters underwater. Or hide an LDF Darter inside a Hesco barrier.
Or even inside a concrete wharf underwater.
you outing yourself yurik
Nothing but a protection zone for zues, and shoot the darters…
Just use a Marshall. The apds is very accurate.
Any admins to report abuse of Kick ?
2 People kicking everyone out of server on Arma 3 Western Sahara USw #01 playing Extraction.
We have another suspicious case of hacking on server Warlord EU01 02:45 UTC+1
suspect leon1 killing people out of the blue both friendlies as well as enemies
thanks for checking
why is the warlord redux server 11 locked by admin?
because restart was inbound
I would like to report a blufor player hanging out under a building in Gravia on EU #00a Warlords, most likely glitched himself there intentionally
by considering our own AIs just keep walking through walls and buildings to board a vehicle, its difficult to say its wrong for players too xD
Are custom faces not allowed on official zeus servers anymore?
most likely because people keep abusing it
I think it's because of custom files in general being abused, since custom faces also are adjusted together with custom sound files
and people love hurting everybody's ears.
You can’t just disable custom radio separately? Because I don’t see how faces can be abused, as long as there is a file size limit.
If that is the case I hope it’s not too hard to fix for a future update.
not anymore, it was always disabled ...
@late kayak
Server EU01 ~22:02 suddenly landing in water from flying kajman over land and client crash, after i rejoined, i found out half opfor team just disappeared at same time
please check this because its very suspicious again...
thanks
A group in team blufor in US 01e official warlords server keep kicking me whenever I join :/ I been there since briefing and kicked twice for no reason. What should do?
Actually not sure if they're all on blue.
That is democracy^^
they dont need a valid reason to kick you, just the consent of majority (although funny they hardly get a votekick done when its really necessary such as kicking teamkillers and idle ducks)
its easy as hell to get people to kick a person for micspamming, but extremely hard to kick someone for teamkilling/hopping in zeus slot and ending the mission
yes because that transcends languages
very easy to understand the concept of "there is an annoying noise from this man, i want him gone"
dont you?
note: some servers will be offline for some time due to maintenance

Check Dwardens msg in warlord discussion channel, they are launching servers one by one
I got teamkilled on Warlords EU11 while at AAC, I lost my shikra. I was killed by User, this happened at 2:05 PM UTC-4.
type in the chat of the server #beclient players and provide his UID, page up and page down to scroll the chat.
teamkills are punished by the ingame WL system, excessive teamkills results into autokick from server
maybe way too late to implement karma system that brand if this said player a toxic and having bad behavior (like teamkill, etc)
so when the branded player join a server, the admin will have a choice to kick or let the player play on their server
and how you want to detect if someone is toxic ... just language filter itself would be insane (with all the l33t speech and unicode character not to mention asci tricks)
direct teamkills aren't problem that's already punished, it's the indirect stuff and various griefing
exactly that
one small feature would give peace to many key players. if you can mute both, voice and chat from specific players you do not wish to hear any longer
you can mute voice in the map player list
yes, that much is already big help but sadly we cannot mute the chat 😆
and there is reason i disabled global VON channel
what is happening to all the warlord servers? they keep on disappearing ?
probably some afterfix after fresh restart with new server
exactly that , i guess he means the Redux 2 server
hi everyone i got into a unit and did some training missions but i wanna train some more and get used to any sort of fire fight can someon dm me and train me
If you're looking for people to play with but not specifically a unit, may be best asking in #looking_for_game. If you're looking for a different unit to teach you, #looking_for_unit
Need an admin to come to redux warlords server, people are tking in spawn, stealing peoples stuff, legit anarchy
unplayable, mods like these are super super fun but they get ruined by trolls
its not just the redux server^^
its literally every public warlord server, we are all facing the same issues and trying to brainstorm in the other channel to find cheap n easy solutions
TK on normal WL servers gets autokick after repeated abuse
In other words, redux is not considered "normal" at this point, yes? Regarding the official hosting, I thought all of them are equal in terms of penalty system 😅
This is likely a rhea misfire. Essentially the missile can lock onto other targets if it has not locked onto an enemy. People can free fire the rhea to keep skies clear if enemy team have air superiority. I would say this was a mistake, not an intentional teamkill.
@late kayak when will EU0 and EU1 be back up? Maintenance again?
Imagine warlord servers showing bluescreen just like our dear windows machines in the past 🤣
actually i don't think i seen Arma 3 server BSOD once unless it was self hosted as client in GUI ... i think i seen it like twice in A2 and several times with A2 demo and A1
This experience belongs buried deep in the past. age of cruelty
And whenever you faced a bluescreen, you wanted to do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X21mJh6j9i4
First 25s are enough lol
I was parked on the runway and the guy had a vorona in his hand
@late kayak
Btw thanks for adding the sys msg telling people how to use cmd panel. Is there a chance to add voice instruction for every joining player too?
Just after "Warlord protocol initialized. Sector selected." And then telling players to click and hold "i".
it's done via simple MOTD defined inside server.cfg , so the answer is no for voiced over instructions (no TTS) ....
copy that, thanks for the explanation
note: at 85.190.148.52:2102 is running KOTH stress-test (to reach the limit of hw/engine) to get some pvp optimizations done
Let me INNNN!!!! ...oh, nobody's there
lol
@late kayak
Sadly another report after long time:
Warlord US01e 13.02.2022 06:15-07:00
bd82417d99546f71e91964702b478e2c Qilin (Unarmed)
Nonstop talking VON (muted after some time), flying around and best cherry on top and teamkilling & accusing me i destroyed his jet while someone else did it.
If this keeps happening, I kindly ask you to take some action. For now just reporting to make sure its not going unnoticed.
Joon , you didn’t help matters by talking smack about their piloting. I stayed out of the banter because I really like your style of play but you should have done what I did and muted them sooner than you did and not responded to them on global
what happen there?
That game yesterday?
Yes, I should have muted him far sooner. Can't argue about that. I hope A3 offers permanent mute feature. Would appreciate that very much.
If something goes wrong, I always talk for myself and do not expect my buddies to get involved unnecessarily. You don't have to justify that you stayed out. I'm totally fine with that.
I can handle arrogant people as long as they back up their cunt mouth with proper skills. That much I am able to deal with.
To sum it up:
1st confrontation: bitching about our ground efforts while he flies around happy-go-lucky with zero impact to the team progress.
2nd confrontation: teamkilling, saying I did kill his jet. Teamkilling people without any reason and griefing without reason = no excuse (this resulted in my decision to report)
The moment I heard a detonation, I turned around from watching Lakka factory hill and just saw my AIs commencing fire on another teamkiller (name starting with b something who was nonstop talking too and Groove Blufor). I can't tell whether Blufor or the teamkiller got the jet first thanks to this confusion. But one thing is clear, it wasn't me and I don't like people accusing me for something I did not.
I do not consent to any sort of just ignoring by default because this makes them feel their doing is welcome.
Btw you missed not much but the final stage, one of the longest Opfor base defense in history and we lost but it was fun after all.
Wish I could have seen that… I don’t care if I’m on the loosing team as long as I can still give ‘em hell 😝
Yes, it was worth staying till the end just for that lol
@late kayak
If Bohemia ever considers extra features, this is my wish list:
- permanent mute
- player chat mute
- mute button to mute all channels and players at once 🤣
Only way to get same result is set VON audio control to zero (a hot key linked to that would be awesome)
or press the mute button next to the player list
but new players will be unmuted i suppose.
@late kayak L+ratio zam for life
i know you don't like him but you're only hurting zam's chances of making a good impression by attacking him
When I join a server and get blamed for them lagging yep thats Arma
@late kayak sorry bout ping, but right now Zeus is broken in public servers, the remote exec restrictions are kicking people just loading into zeus, along with for a couple other things that I'm not sure of
which server (ip:port, exact name ) ?
all of the zeus servers
