[brisk kraken]

Hey guys wantet to play a PVE Server. I have used the normal Arma Launcher and automatically downloaded the mods but i have this error.

Server name: [GER/ENG] AVMG.EU >Chernarus|PVE|Zombies< Exile|DMS|RoamAI|CDAH
Address: 148.251.87.4:2402
Server version: 208149743
Required game version: 2.8.0

Map: Cup_chernarus_A3
Mission: Chernarus
Players: 5/30

Guys? PLS HEEELP^^

[sterile moth]

Try to repair CBA

[brisk kraken]

its completly new installed. I repaired it with no change

tryed to start it inside from arma also the problem. Yesterday i did reinstalled all mods

[sterile moth]

It could be the server's fault

[brisk kraken]

Hmmm shit

[brisk kraken]

Tried a other serve and had the same prob.
Let check arma and all mods. Had no issues. Reinstalled cba same prob.

Any idea?😩😩😩

[languid siren]

You sure that server allows CBA?

[brisk kraken]

Yes because it is automatically loading all mods.

[hollow urchin]

just before it happened i was installing local mods no more than 5 gb when i tried to playtest them my arma kept crashing on loading addons

restarted and it started happening

[hollow urchin]

(happens when i press the refresh button ((arrow going around in a circle)))

[hollow urchin]

what i've tried so far:
reinstalling arma 3
restarting computer
verifying integrity of game files
clearing cache.ch and verifying
running all arma programs as administrator

[lament yacht]

Have you tried removing your local mods?

[hollow urchin]

i cant access them

any mods at all

its stuck on this

[lament yacht]

Delete the local mod folders directly. It's probably stuck on something nasty in there.

Should be in %steamLibrary%/Common/Arma 3

[hollow urchin]

ok

which folder would be the local mods one exactly

[lament yacht]

Depends where you put it.

[hollow urchin]

i was dragging and dropping into the launcher

[lament yacht]

sighs

ok, open C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Arma 3 Launcher\Local.json

username is your username, AppData is hidden.

[hollow urchin]

i know

both of those

hidden items showing

you want me to open this file

or dlete it

[lament yacht]

I said open

As text, in case you have anything weird bound to JSON

notepad or whatever

[hollow urchin]

ok and

[lament yacht]

That should tell you where you have local mods installed. You can either go kill them or remove the entries from that file.

[hollow urchin]

yippie

[undone crystal]

Greetings!
After a crash a few days ago 2 things started happening:

1. I get an error message saying that "Cant sync saves to cloud" although i always had cloud sync disabled.

2. Every time i try to join a server, or even launch vanilla unmodded arma, the launcher keeps loading a specific mod by force. This mod is not selected on the mods list. 3rd party launcher called "A3 launcher" launches the game fine without issues.

Could someone please provide some troubleshooting guidance?
Thank you!

[lament yacht]

@undone crystal Check whether you have anything in "command line" on the parameters tab in the launcher.

[undone crystal]

I did. Nothing related to mods

[kind fiber]

So I am having this issue where I can not find my groups server I know its up because others are on it and or can see it any idea what I can do???

[undone crystal]

Bumping my question because the launcher is still not working.

Did a repair on Arma3 which changed nothing. Removed all parameters from launcher which changed nothing. I am still lost and the launcher is unusable. Any help is appreciated!

[languid siren]

tried verifying your arma files?

[kind fiber]

Who you asking

[kind fiber]

If its Angar he has already done that and if its me I have also done that

[kind fiber]

Any ideas anyone

[lament yacht]

Can you direct connect to it?

@kind fiber

[kind fiber]

Yes

@lament yacht I can but the reason I need to see it on here is because I need to know what mods I need or what I can use (as additional mods)

[lament yacht]

Yes, but once you've direct connected (even if kicked out due to missing mods), it should show up in "recent" in the launcher.

Another way is that you can add the server in steam favourites, and then it'll show up in launcher favourites.

[kind fiber]

Thats the issue it doesn't show in internet, recent, friends, or favorits

Steam fav?

[lament yacht]

steam->view->servers->favourites, add a server button.

Need to use port+1, so for example 2303 if the server's game port is 2302.

[kind fiber]

I see that my servers are there in the favorites tab

[lament yacht]

Not in launcher favourites though?

[kind fiber]

Correct

[lament yacht]

I guess your launcher is broken.

[kind fiber]

Ya I have had no one give me an answer unfortinatly I have uninstalled to.

[lament yacht]

You could try clearing all its user data out. Might help.

[kind fiber]

How ?

[lament yacht]

Try clearing [user]\AppData\Local\Arma 3 Launcher maybe

[kind fiber]

maybe just remove this and relaunch game?

[lament yacht]

I don't know, you cut off all the information.

[kind fiber]

Tried both files neither worked.

[winter lotus]

can someone help i cant see my units in the arma 3 launcher

[sterile moth]

Its normal. Arma 3 Units is fairly unstable service and often get offline

[leaden tundra]

hi when i try to play it says admin ban i havent played it in a while idk what i did i just play and barley talk

i was gonna play it again but it keeps on saying im admin banned

i tried to get on one of my favortited servers since a while and it says something bohemia admin ban and i tried to go on more and says it

[kind fiber]

So update on this when I use WiFi I can see the servers but when I use Ethernet I cant any idea why it’s like that??? PS I am on desktop I prefer if I can keep Ethernet.

[undone crystal]

For my second issue, go to C:/Users/your_user/App_Data/Arma 3/ and delete everything inside the folders that end with Cache.

The Failed to Sync to Cloud error persists, but does not seem to have an impact to anything so far.

Tags for search: no mods, launcher force loads mods, can't unload mods, cant unload mods,

[thin sandal]

hey so ive been having this issue where when i try to boot up arma 3 by pressing the yellow play button, it shows a text saying "The code execution cannot proceed because (BLANK) was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this issue" i tried turning battleye on and off but that wont work, there is another page saying something about a missing DLL? im not too sure, cause it wont show me what the missing DLL is. anyone able to help me out?

Here is some context:

[lament yacht]

Usually means that you need to reinstall the VC++ 2013 redistributables.

[thin sandal]

ill try that out rn thanks

[lament yacht]

probably latest versions: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/update-for-visual-c-2013-and-visual-c-redistributable-package-18d278e8-1c79-2630-e8ae-e9f4679b2393

They do mention a bug there where it uninstalls the x64 version if you update the 32-bit version, which might be why this happens to people.

[floral horizon]

Do you have to reinstall after you download or should it just work

[haughty raft]

hi im having problems to launch the game can anyone help me

[fresh bluff]

Hello could you press this button and post the file you get, on a ticket on https://feedback.bistudio.com.
That way we can look into what might be causing the issue.

[lyric elm]

Put that message about the cloud file provider into google and follow the steps you find

[lyric elm]

That information is useless as its not our bug, its Microsoft's OneDrive

[haughty raft]

oh ok

ty for saying that

[zenith gust]

hello i have a problem , if I start Arma 3 I go to the main menu it takes 5 sec and they freeze but if i go instantly in arsenal doesn't crash

[hollow urchin]

How to unlink my steam to an arma Account

I dont Have access to the old Account

Nvm

[outer holly]

Arma 3 is not in my steam library for some weird reason, and so in oreder to install it on my laptop. I had to go to the store page (on steam) and hit play game, not add to library so I could then install it from my library. Now ive got an updating arma 3 window and not installing arma 3....?

[ruby glade]

you've probably filtered your games list

[outer holly]

no I've checked all games are "showing" yet arma 3 is missing.

[ruby glade]

go to View > Hidden Games

see if you see Arma there

[outer holly]

Yes found it wtf? how do I unhide it as I don't remember hiding it in the first place lol.

[ruby glade]

add it to a collection
or remove the filters

[outer holly]

nvm got it lol too stoned atm lol

getting everything set back up in arma should be easy af, I mean look how I just mastered that shit lmfao I'm doomed.

Is there a list of the top mods in use atm for arma 3?

[left vector]

yes go onto steam workshop and filter by most subscribed

this isnt the channel for that thougy

[deep plover]

hi - does anyone know why the mods presets revert back after I rename them?
like the next time I reopen the launcher they are not saved
how can I modify the mods presets and make sure it is saved?

[grand fiber]

Got problems with this error

what do i do?

[lyric elm]

Type that message into google, its some error with microsoft onedrive

[subtle zephyr]

My Arma isn't even running

The launcher showed this when I booted it up. I tried opening the game then exiting, I tried the task manager, I've validated the game files

It won't let me manage my mods

[languid siren]

Tried "close game" like it says?

[subtle zephyr]

Yeah, that was the first thing I tried

it didn't do anything

[subtle zephyr]

I've even uninstalled the game completely, then reinstalled it. It's still broken

[lament yacht]

have you tried restarting windows

[little marsh]

Why aren't all my presets sorting alphabetically? I renamed a few, and they went right into alphabetical order. However, not all my Dev_ presets are in the same block

[subtle zephyr]

@lament yacht thank you

[bitter folio]

whoever formally warned me that wasn't very nice, i was just trying to get my question answered

the question fit those 3 threads

[sterile moth]

ICYM: #rules

   any violation of the intellectual property right of others is prohibited!```

[bitter folio]

yeah but the question applied to all of the places

[sterile moth]

Then what?

A question that could fit more than one place and you shouldn't post the same post everywhere are not trade-off

[left vector]

And is only meant to be posted in one 😉

[spring bane]

arma wont load past "loading core configs"

ive tried reinstalling the game

and verifying the integrity of the files

but both didnt work

[sterile moth]

How many Mods you load?

[spring bane]

none

[sterile moth]

Remove Dta folder from Arma 3 install folder and try verify

[spring bane]

okay ill try that

[spring bane]

It didnt work

[sterile moth]

Hmm... How long you've wait in this screen?

[spring bane]

it stays stuck forever

[sterile moth]

Like how long? Not forever

[spring bane]

how long this has been happening for?

[sterile moth]

A split second to a few seconds

[spring bane]

the max ive waited on the screen was like 20 minutes

[sterile moth]

Well now that's certainly not normal

[spring bane]

yea and its been like this for a couple months

[sterile moth]

Did you moved ANY pbo file from somewhere to somewhere?

(I doubt this is a case tho, just in case)

[spring bane]

no i dont think so

[sterile moth]

Or, let's say did you installed any “Mod” like ReShade manually?

[spring bane]

No i only installed mods off of the steam workshop

[sterile moth]

Do you have any launch parameters you set in Launcher?

[spring bane]

no i dont

[sterile moth]

Hmmm... I think I'm out of an idea

[spring bane]

Ah okay

well thank U for ur help

[left vector]

have you tried steamverify and/or reinstalling

[spring bane]

yea and it hasn’t worked

[mortal bluff]

Hey

For some reason my mouse in game is big and the mod list under at the main menu is a bit big

[ruby glade]

Decrease the interface size in video options

[mortal bluff]

To what size? @ruby glade

[ruby glade]

whatever you prefer

[digital latch]

Somehow my game got stuck trying to load a handful of mods I previously configured. I choose in the launcher to launch without mods, but it still loads them (the "-mod=..." line is empty in RPT but further down the log it still verifies signatures and loads the mods). I verified game files in steam and restarted computer, issue persists. Has anyone seen anything like this?

[lament yacht]

Maybe if you managed to add -servermod in parameters.

[digital latch]

Ok fixed it. I had recently left an "ArmA3.par" file in my game directory with the mod spec. Apparently the game automatically reads that file which I didn't know.

[lament yacht]

It will if you have -par="ArmA3.par" in parameters.

If it reads it without -par then that's fun.

[digital latch]

No -par flag so i guess it was fun times.

[inland hazel]

I tried launching arma on steam tho this pops up instead.

[fresh bluff]

are you using the launcher?

[inland hazel]

Yes

[fresh bluff]

do you have any launch parameters in launcher, or in steam parameters for the game?

[inland hazel]

Im not sure

How do I check?

[inland hazel]

@fresh bluff

[fresh bluff]

rightclick on game, properties then the box at the arrow
Or in launcher see pic

[inland hazel]

Oh

No I dont have any parameters

[inland hazel]

Where do I get to the launcher

[fresh bluff]

start the game throught steam or go to the folder you installed arma in and double click launcher.exe

[inland hazel]

But this pops up if I start it threw steam

@fresh bluff

Also it only shows up as a tool instead of a game

[fresh bluff]

....

you want Arma 3 not arma 3 **server **

[inland hazel]

i bought arma 3

but it only shows the server

[inland hazel]

where do i find it than

@fresh bluff

@fresh bluff Nevermind, somehow the purchase failed

I fixed it.

Thanks for the help

[mortal bluff]

whenever i go in game my interface is big as I set it to normal and then in editor it has everything like big or so

[hollow urchin]

im having trouble launching the game can anyone help

i just downloaded for the first time

[hollow urchin]

May you send screenshots or be more specific

Like it will launch then just black screen

someone helped me thx

[ornate steppe]

hello everyone after a few minutes arma crash and i have this error code that appears, anyone know where it could come from please?http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2022/39/4/1664481964-sdqsqss.png

[runic tiger]

do you have a usb headset/headphones?

also does it crash randomly, so in launcher (as you posted here) or after you start a mission or campaign?

[ornate steppe]

no I don't have usb headphones and it's after launching the missions that it crashes

I think it comes from my new map because I tested with my other maps and it does not crash the game crashes only with my new map

[runic tiger]

it could be caused by map indeed, you can check the RPT file for any errors that happened before your game crashed

!rpt

[vapid halo]

Arma RPT

Arma generates a .rpt log file each time it's run, which contains a lot of information like the loaded mods, or any errors that appear, this log file can be very useful for troubleshooting problems.

To get to your RPT files press Windows+R and enter %localappdata%/Arma 3

Additionally see the wiki page for more info: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Crash_Files

To share an rpt log here, please use a website like https://sqfbin.com/ to upload the full log, that way the people helping you can take a look at it and try to figure out the problem you're having together with you.
Note: RPT logs can hold personal information relevant to your system, the game or others.

[forest fox]

I've been having this error for a little over a month. It's preventing me from playing any server, but it's only with the more recent HTML files. Idk if it's a mod error or a client error, but ANYTHING that at least sheds some light on what the FUCK I need to do to fix it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks yall!

[lament yacht]

You know you don't need to import presets to play on a server...

[forest fox]

The servers don't let me join unless I have the mods installed and loaded. Not sure what to tell you other than the information I've given, I do hope it is enough to help us come to some sort of conclusion.

[lament yacht]

Click on server in launcher, and then the "join" button next to it. Should give you a list of the required mods that the server is running.

[forest fox]

Word, just b/c I'm curious... what could cause this issue?

[hollow urchin]

Hey all. Sorry to bother, but Arma 3 Launcher keeps changing my mod preset everytime I launch the game. For some mods to work, load order matters, and it gets aggravating when I both make and save a preset - only for it to get changed again anytime I start the game. Is there any way to stop this?

Tried deleting the APPDATA files for Arma 3 and Arma 3 Launcher, but it's still doing it.

[thin grail]

my launcher doesnt save anything, if i import a mod list it will auto dewlete when i start up arma the next time, if i make changes to my current statup params it gets changed back to what they were on the next start

[ornate steppe]

hello sorry I didn't see your message here are the rpt

16:07:01 No product.bin found, using defaults for a core engine.
16:07:01 SteamAPI initialization failed. Steam features won't be accessible!
16:07:01 Splash window: Unable to load config file: dta\splashwindow.bin

[lyric elm]

You are not launching Arma from the Arma directory

Or your dta folder got missing

[ornate steppe]

How can I verify this because I don't really see where to go?

[lyric elm]

in steam, right click on arma 3 and browse local files

there check if dta folder is there,

and try launching arma exe directly from that folder

[patent moat]

How to stop launcher automaticly downloading addons?

[runic tiger]

unsubscribe them in workshop

[dark epoch]

why am i not able to launch scenarios in eden editor now

[languid siren]

Looks like you have mods on, either work out what one could cause it & remove it
or try without any mods at all.

[dark epoch]

alright

[tiny bolt]

When I load the game and click on it it does a weird glitchy thing then doesn’t allow me to play anyone know how I can fix this?

[lyric elm]

Try going to parameters and enabling windowed mode

[tiny bolt]

that works but its really smalland i can't go into full screen or it just sends me out the game again

I fixed it nvm

ty

[small spade]

For some reason arma isnt loading for me

its just a screen with the backround

Can anyone help me

[runic tiger]

fresh install, with no mods?

[small spade]

Yeah

Or eh

I reinstalled it

I had it before and it did the same

so I just uninstalled it

and I also had downloaded a mod my friend had given me

[runic tiger]

how long did you wait during that black screen, arma can load for a good few minutes on slower HDD drives

!rpt

[vapid halo]

[runic tiger]

you can try checking that folder and send an rpt file here

[small spade]

There was no black screen I think

wait

I deleted it

the mod

it says it cannot find it

[runic tiger]

idk then, hard to tell what's the issue if there are no error or crash files

maybe try verifying files through steam

[small spade]

Idk how

[runic tiger]

https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/0c48-fcbd-da71-93eb

[small spade]

Done

Should I try restarting arma?

[runic tiger]

you could, or restart your pc just in case

[small spade]

kk

I did it

still the same

Ill show you a pic of what it is

its just that

Is it just loading

[runic tiger]

it's supposed to be a launcher, can you resize it or something? maybe it's just bigger than your screen

[small spade]

sure

btw thanks for helping

[runic tiger]

im out of ideas to be fair, there might be an error log just for launcher but I would have to check if it is generated

maybe someone with green nickname can help, for now you could go to Feedback Tracker website and make a ticket with all necessary info and someone could know the solution

for sure you're not the first one with that issue but usually reinstall or file verification helps. Maybe it's something with your GPU drivers or your firewall/antivirus is blocking something

[small spade]

I did reinstall

nothing changed

[small spade]

maybe the gpu

ill check those too

[runic tiger]

https://arma3.com/launcher/troubleshooting

you can try downloading these files from the top and compare whatever is said here to what you have enabled/installed

[small spade]

I downloaded both

I tried to open it with safe mode

can I ping someone with a green name?

Or no?

[runic tiger]

maybe DM Dedmen and hope he's some free time to help

[small spade]

kk

[small spade]

welp

I tried some stuff

didnt really work

[void burrow]

Anybody have an issue (or is it just a quirk of the launcher) where enabling/disabling mods in a large modlist (150+ mods) lags the launcher for like ~2-5 seconds?

I will enable or disable a mod, and the launcher freezes for that length of time.

It's really, really annoying.

And it doesn't do it if no mods are active.

Even though I have ~750 inactive mods, only when there are 150+ active does the launcher lag.

[small spade]

Idk because my launcher somehow doesnt exist

[void burrow]

Update your graphics drivers
Reinstall the game just in case Verifying missed something
Try disabling DPI Optimizations or whatever?

Make sure you aren't using any launch arguments

Anything and everything could be the cause afaik, but that looks like a bad install or a graphics driver issue.

[small spade]

I did reinstall the game

and verify files

idk how to do the other two because my brain is malfuctioning lately

[void burrow]

Try deleting the files and then uninstalling on Steam. Like everything.

steamapps/common/Arma 3
Documents/Arma 3
Users/YOURUSER/Appdata/Local/Arma 3

[void burrow]

What is your GPU?

[small spade]

wdym

wait

wanna go in dms

I can screen share so its easier

[void burrow]

We don't need to. It's not sensitive information.

What graphics card do you have?

[small spade]

GTX

wait

[void burrow]

Hit the windows key, type System Information, It's under Components -> Display -> Adapter Description

[small spade]

GTX 1660

[void burrow]

Okay

1660 SUPER?

Or 1660?

Or 1660Ti?

https://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx

Go here, make sure it's like this

But change Geforce GTX 1660 to whatever you have

Then hit search

And hit download.

[small spade]

1660

[void burrow]

Wait for the program to install, run it, then choose Express installation.

Once it finishes, restart your computer by using Windows Key + X then press U then press R

Just a quick shortcut to do a graceful restart, so that programs don't get force stopped

[small spade]

press u and r after it opens?

[void burrow]

Yup

[small spade]

wait so

I restart

and then

u r

[void burrow]

No

[small spade]

oh

windos x

[void burrow]

Okay, first just worry about downloading the Driver.

[small spade]

windows*

kk

[void burrow]

You don't need to do that anyways, it's just a handy shortcut.

I can show you the clicky way to restart lol

[small spade]

ik how to restart

[void burrow]

Don't use your power button!

[small spade]

o

[void burrow]

It's not really an issue but don't tempt the fates ;)

[small spade]

ok

[small spade]

Im downloading it

[void burrow]

Once you download it, run the program it installs. Choose Express Installation (Recommended)

[small spade]

are you sure

its gonna work

[void burrow]

Then just let it install. Your screen might go black for a few seconds at one point, that's it "switching out the drivers" afaik.

It might not fix the issue, but it's always good to update drivers.

[small spade]

kk

Bruh

I got no space on my pc

and wont let me download it on my other disk

[void burrow]

That's not my fault haha

[small spade]

ik ik

[void burrow]

It's a 800MB file man

[small spade]

Idk though

[void burrow]

It's not even a gigabyte

[small spade]

it says I need 250mb

and I got 1gb at that one

Imma delete smt

kk fixed it

Done

I downloaded it

[small spade]

Do I do that now?

done btw

[void burrow]

Did it work

[void burrow]

Anybody know the answer to this? View the message I’m replying to.

[small spade]

Nope

didnt work

thanks for helping though

Also I cant send a troubleshoot report

[runic tiger]

It's not a issue, it's just how it is. Few updates ago it launcher would just break if you have more than ~940 mods installed. If you think something works slower than it used to just unsubscribe from all mods and reinstall the game

[void burrow]

Well, that sucks! Thanks!

[craggy trench]

hey guys my launcher says most of my mods are not allowed on the server i have yet they are all green on the main veiw, will they still be usable its ace and things like that

[dawn latch]

How do I fix this?

when i open Arma 3 Server.

it comes up with this

[languid siren]

Its a readme for server installation?

It literally tells you what you are doing wrong

[south jackal]

im having a problem with the launcher as when i launch it with no mods selected it launches with like 7 addons

does anyone know how to fix this?

[ruby glade]

check the PARAMETERS and make sure the Command Line option is unchecked

[south jackal]

oh my god you are a genius!!! i would give you a handy if you were here right now! thank you!

[fresh bluff]

In the root folder of arma there is a Arma3server.exe that you can make a shortcut to.

[hollow urchin]

so im trying to install a preset for my unit but whenever i do it just gives me this

[languid siren]

Possibly wrong file format.

[hollow urchin]

it should be the right one, i double click on it and takes me to the whole preset thing

[languid siren]

tried manually importing it?

[hollow urchin]

no

[languid siren]

Preset > Import > Find your file

[hollow urchin]

you mean this?

i have been trying that

it is weird because some older presets work

[languid siren]

send the html, See if lets me

[hollow urchin]

does it work

[languid siren]

nope, its bugged for some reason.
try saving the preset again

[hollow urchin]

alright

Thanks

[pastel plank]

Hey, big of a recent problem but downloaded mods don't appear in the launcher. Like I download them through steam, all good but going into the launcher nothing comes up to say they've actually been downloaded, they just don't appear. I'm not entirely sure but I'm getting to the point of just HTMLing my entire modlist and unsubbing then redownloading all of them or just reinstalling the game.

Has anyone else had this issue and could lend a hand?

[rugged wolf]

Seems to becoming a trend. 2 others in Arma3_Troubleshooting. And probably more in the past days.

Did any of you have Windows update itself to a new version? Or reinstall to factory conditions.

See one of the 2 mentioned above: #arma3_troubleshooting message

[queen plaza]

Been having the same issue and I’ve tried the symbolic command but didn’t do anything. I’ve had to launch them locally to just check out a couple of mods I installed.

Unfortunately it’s only Arma doing this to me, tested it to make sure I wasn’t going crazy and installed a hearts of iron IV mod and it installed n showed in their launcher

[lament yacht]

If mklink doesn't work then that would explain why the launcher can't do it.

Maybe a permissions issue.

[queen plaza]

I can’t even really think of what the issue could be cause it was working fine like 4 days ago

Then all of a sudden Saturday morning it just goes nope

[lament yacht]

Does mklink give you an error message?

[wind oar]

So, I've spent 24 hours trying to solve this issue:
Arma Launcher does not detect, nor show newly subscribed mods.
I have tried:
Un and re subscribing
Restart Launcher, Steam, Computer
I even reinstalled all of Arma and my mods (500GBs)

Nothing has worked, please help 🥺 🙏

[queen plaza]

no but still nothing is showing up

i used aswell a hardlink shell program and it didnt work

[sterile moth]

Is it just me or people getting the same missing Mods issue very recently? 🤔

[wind oar]

I'm not alone?

[lament yacht]

As Valen said above, there's been a few cases.

@wind oar Which windows version is that?

[wind oar]

Windows 10

[lament yacht]

Any third-party AV?

[queen plaza]

missing newly installed mods and updates for mods unfortunately

[wind oar]

Idk what AV is, but I'm only using the base Arma3 Launcher

[lament yacht]

antivirus.

[wind oar]

Nope, only Windows anti-virus

[lament yacht]

So does it manage to create the links in the !workshop folder or not?

[queen plaza]

on my end no

[wind oar]

I'm not smart enough know what this means

[lament yacht]

Most of the launcher data for this seems to be in Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Arma 3 Launcher

would be tempted to try deleting various json files in there after making a backup.

Local.json. Steam.json and UGC.json especially.

[wind oar]

If you're willing to walk me through it, I'm willing to try what it takes to get it working

[lament yacht]

Nah, honestly you'd need to have a good idea what you're doing. This is strictly experimental. I have no special knowledge of how the launcher works.

[wind oar]

Dang it

[lament yacht]

Chance of screwing things up further is pretty high if you're not used to explorer abuse.

[wind oar]

Alrighty

[wind oar]

So we'll just having to wait for someone with the deep esoteric knowledge of Arma3 fixing to find an answer to our query

[queen plaza]

looking at the misc.json im guessing "subscribedAppIDs" is talking about the subscribed mods but not entirely sure

list of numbers is very short tho

nevermind

[wind oar]

Welp

[queen plaza]

well i just found the steam native log

constant error of the subscribed mod numbers back n forth saying

Steam Layer: Found item with no tags.

[wind oar]

Hast thou found the bane of the Arma Launcher?

[queen plaza]

dont know

[lament yacht]

can you paste a snippet?

[queen plaza]

oh interesting

the date it showed off is from february

[lament yacht]

"normal errors" there are just some SteamLayer: Null context and Initialization failed.

[queen plaza]

thats the only ones that show for this year

cause the steam layer found item with no tags shows for february

[lament yacht]

better than mine then :P

[queen plaza]

im so lost lmao

[wind oar]

Me too bro

[queen plaza]

i was tempted with reinstalling arma and my mods but then i was like nah lemme not cause it probably wont fix anything and then i'll be stuck with no mods

[wind oar]

I tried that, it won't fix it. The problem persists

[lament yacht]

I don't think it even deletes the launcher data.

[wind oar]

...

[queen plaza]

i started having these issues on the 3rd so im looking at the launcher log to see if anything shows

[wind oar]

Mine also started on the 3rd

[queen plaza]

yeah i was trying to download a mod for a buddy of mines op for his unit, was bringing my guys too for that and i had to sit back and let my guys go cause nothing was updating or even popping up on the launcher

and it was weird to me because hours before that occurred i was able to install stuff perfectly fine

[wind oar]

I had the same, luckily was able to find the same mod on Armaholic, but that's only a stop gap, and not a long term replacement

[queen plaza]

armaholic exists?

thought the site went down

[lament yacht]

Checked, it does know how to rebuild if you delete/rename Steam.json and UGC.json.

Don't know if it'll fix anything but it shouldn't do any unrecoverable damage :P

[wind oar]

My bad, not armaholic, but another similar site:
https://catalogue.smods.ru/archives/102688

[queen plaza]

found something that pops out to me dont think this is normal but

2022-12-05 22:59:50,899 [ERROR] 25: Launcher.Steam.LauncherSteamFacade: System.InvalidOperationException: Request was not created. SteamAPI was not initialized
at SteamLayerWrap.UGCDetailClientWrap.RequestUGCDetails(IEnumerable`1 publishedIds, Boolean includeDescription, Boolean includeMetadata, Boolean includeKeyValuePairs, Boolean includeChildren)

at Launcher.Steam.LauncherSteamFacade.<>c__DisplayClass69.<RequestUgcDetailAsync>b__67()
at Launcher.Steam.LauncherSteamFacade.SteamApiRunnerOnBeforeTick(Object sender, EventArgs eventArgs)

this popped up every time i launched the launcher on saturday

and today

dont know what any of this shit means but ya know

[lament yacht]

Not before?

[queen plaza]

not before

[lament yacht]

there's that UGC thing again :P

[queen plaza]

yup

so im guessing i should try n deleted the UGC.json n see if it does anything

ok so dont delete the steam one

it recreates but gets rid of the list of mods on the launcher list that you are already subbed to

doesnt fix the issue unfortunately

[wind oar]

Just as an answer seemed to present itself it was swept away

[queen plaza]

oh god

dont get rid of the UGC either

[wind oar]

We're doomed

[lament yacht]

I got rid of both and it rebuilt the whole list in a few seconds.

[queen plaza]

it didnt rebuild mine xD

it stayed empty af for me

[wind oar]

A solution? 👀

[lament yacht]

nah, means that it's not related to the problem. Yours isn't rebuilding because something else is busted :P

[queen plaza]

just looked it

was rebuilding

1 by 1 very slowly

slower than my grandma slow

[lament yacht]

Is this HDD or SSD?

[queen plaza]

hdd

makes sense

[lament yacht]

oh, well

probably normal speed then.

maybe it'll work :P

[queen plaza]

yeah i would have it on my ssd

however

i dont think 22 GB of free space will suffice

[lament yacht]

yeah I bought a second SSD for Arma :P

[queen plaza]

yeah i have 2 HDDs n 1 SSD

[wind oar]

Me too

[queen plaza]

well

i guess i'll just cry n suffer

[wind oar]

Me too mate

[lament yacht]

Is it still rebuilding?

[queen plaza]

i threw back in my old one

[lament yacht]

So we don't know if it works?

[queen plaza]

i guess i will be the guinea pig for this

https://tenor.com/view/salute-gif-21949953

[wind oar]

Your sacrifice will be remembered

[queen plaza]

well thats not good

none of my mods are showing still in the launcher

like there are no mods for me to even rebuild

all that shows rn is my local stuff

the steam.json yeeted itself n shows up but wont rebuild the content inside to show my mods on the launcher

[wind oar]

Well shit

[queen plaza]

indeed

i guess i'll wait for a bi person to give instructions

[queen plaza]

after coming back home from the gym i think i figured out what the issue was for me

think its dumb but i think i figured it out

[sterile moth]

If you think if it is, you want to post what it was and how you did solve

[queen plaza]

well from my end looking at the misc.json it was listening numbers from my F drive

which were workshop content for my other games i have installed

i had my arma 3 installed on my D drive and ofc my arma 3 workshop content was also listed in my D drive

my guess is it somehow overrided itself, unfortunately i didnt realize this until after i uninstalled and began reinstalling the game but this time to my F drive

waiting for my arma to finish installing cause i have 9 GB left but once its done (and installing my mods) i'll see if it works

but thats the only thing i can say i noticed that the content folder with all of my mods wasnt listed in the misc.json file

[rugged wolf]

Not really. since this seems to be a problem many experience you can post the issue on Bohemia's feedback tracker as a bug report. Or however you want to class it. Either way, Dedmen or other BI dev working on the launcher can't do anything they don't know about. And reading it here isn't a guarantee they see it.

[rugged wolf]

According to Google someone seems to have made an Italian domain for storing Arma mod archive: www.armaholic.it Whether it has the same content as the former popular Armaholic, that remains to be investigated.

[runic tiger]

that website has only reuploads of A3 mods that are available on Steam Workshop.

[rugged wolf]

Figures, Anyone can choose a popular name for a different top-level domain and steal the fame.

[dark heath]

I think that the workshop problem is all across Steam

steamstat.us has had a "Community WS Error" for the past few days

[rigid gale]

i verfiy my game and rapier it
i deleted some mods
i cleared steam caches

the mods wont show up and everytime i download a mod steam shows the mod is downloading but it dosent show inside the propties or in the arma 3 launcher

[runic tiger]

it's an issue with Steam it seems, so no way of fixing it until Valve solves the problem.

[queen plaza]

I don’t think it’s a workshop problem because workshop would be broken for every game that has a workshop. I’ve tested this by downloading stuff from Xcom 2, company of heroes 2, Gmod, and hearts of iron IV, all download fine except Arma

To me doesn’t make sense aswell how it would be a select few with workshop issues and not the entire community

[wind oar]

Alot of people, including myself, are having this issue

Report it on the BI forums so the devs see it

[wind oar]

Alright, I've reported the 'Launcher not recognizing newly subscribed mods' issue on the forums:
https://feedback.bistudio.com/T169246

[queen plaza]

well

i fixed my issue

mine i guess was just a failed transfer to different drives (even tho i dont remember transferring)

i think had to uninstall everything i was subscribed to so this'll be fun resubbing to my mods

[wind oar]

Only problem with that is, what if my mods don't resub

Then I'm totally screwed

[queen plaza]

mine resubbed

like i said about mine, my misc.json was listing a totally different content folder in a completely different drive

[wind oar]

Imma be honest, I have no clue what that means

[queen plaza]

all i did was just uninstall and reinstall to the proper drive and then unsub all my mods

misc.json is the code file that lists your content folder where your mods are being downloaded from the workshop

[rigid gale]

so what the fix excality

[queen plaza]

for me it was just moving my arma to the proper drive

idk if its the same case for you guys

[rigid gale]

like move it to another drive????

[queen plaza]

mhm

i had it originally in my D drive

and it started registering my F drive

so i just moved it to my F drive

[wind oar]

Mine has always been in the C drive

[queen plaza]

like i said idk the other cases but that was my personal issue

[wind oar]

Dang it

[rigid gale]

https://tenor.com/view/broob-broseidon-smitty-gif-24263466

[wind oar]

F

[pastel plank]

Yeah, from what I've gathered from my end, which is mostly the same, subbing will download on steam, however launcher, no go. I go into the !Workshop in my A3 folder in steam and try to search for the mod exactly and it just doesn't exist. Now I thought it was something stupid since I had this AGES ago where I downloaded too many mods which did something similiar so I've started going through and uninstalling some mods, now my A3 launcher and Steam seem to not be talking and unsubbing from one area and not the other and causing the launcher to think the files are corrupt when they're really not there.

Now updates work apparently, but actually subbing and unsubbing don't. I recently, as in this morning at 5 o'clock, updated to the newest windows but this has been happening before that.

Now from what I'm reading and what I've gathered, this is a Steam issue. Not sure if there was an update recently but it doesn't seem to be cooperating with the A3 Launcher at all.

And could it be a coincidence this happened not long after Reforger got its update?

[lyric elm]

I'm pretty sure something was changed on the steam side

We did nothing, and all of the sudden several people in several places reporting issues with workshop items in launcher

I think even DayZ Launcher also has similar issues
But somehow it doesn't affect everyone?

[pastel plank]

Very odd indeed

possible fix on the way? would be pretty pog

[lyric elm]

No idea whats going on

[obsidian rampart]

I am also getting that issue too lol, the mods do download to \SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\107410 so thats cool lol

[pastel plank]

lmao I can't even move the folder to another hard drive because I apparently don't have enough space when I have 1.2 TB available

[quiet harness]

Im here to report the same thing

On my experience, steam does download the mods but does not communicate it to the launcher

I changed the "listening" folder to the place where steam downloads the content and the new mods show up, however the launcher thinks they are local mods

[rugged wolf]

That would be an easy workaround. Does it show the full mod names? Or just ModID numbers?

[quiet harness]

both in my experience

it also duplicates the mods

[rugged wolf]

Hmm, not as nice.

[quiet harness]

which makes the launcher very slow and prone to crash

By both i mean it sometimes shows modID, others shows the names

i also tried messing around with the appworkshop file but it didnt matter

edited, tried deleting it so steam would redownload it (it did) but nothing worked

[wind oar]

Yeah, same for me mate, I've gotten nothing to work

I've posted on the BIStudios forum, but gotten no response:
https://feedback.bistudio.com/T169246

[runic tiger]

FYI making multiple tickets about the same stuff doesn't make it solved any faster. There's at least three already

[wind oar]

I made it yesterday, and I didn't know there were others

[rugged wolf]

From different people isn't the issue. People might give different details that lead to finding the cause. But multiple tickets about the same issue by the same person doesn't make sense.

[wind oar]

I haven't made multiple, I only made the one

[rigid gale]

i deleted the game with the mods and install it again all in one 365gb with the game ofc and it didnt fix anything

the only thing we need to do is waiting cuz i spend 6 hours trying to fix it i trid alot of stuff i moved it from a drive to another drive and its still didnt fix anything

[wind oar]

Yeah, welcome to the club mate

[rigid gale]

oh sorry i meant 468 GB

[rugged wolf]

I was addressing it in general, not personally about your ticket.

[lyric elm]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-light-computer-gif-21223179

Can someone who has the mods in launcher issue, go to their steam to Help (at the top) - Info about steam or just "about steam" or smth, the bottom most thing
and tell me when the steam client was "created", is it newer than dec 1?

[languid siren]

https://i.gyazo.com/0870d0230cab2687e8905bfcf1698845.png

[lyric elm]

._. so its not related to the steam version then.
I have the same version but don't have the problem

[languid siren]

idk could be. I know steam has had specific issues that only affected certain people (remember seeing a bugfix for users with over 1000 games) possible that us with problems meet some strange criteria.

[lyric elm]

I'm pretty sure valve changed something.
Maybe its some kind of spam protection if you have many mods, which is why I cannot get it yet

[lyric elm]

I think I might need some launcher logs.
They can be found in
%localappdata%/Arma 3 Launcher/Logs

Usually subscribing a mod and it showing up in launcher looks like:

Maybe the people with issues get some exceptions or errors in there?

[left vector]

I have over 300 mods with no issues like this 🤔

[dusty needle]

Alright, I'm in the right folder

I see FileSync, Steam.Native, Steam.Wrap, Launcher, ServerBrowser.Service, and Launcher.1 text files all from today, reinstalling stuff

everything else is old exceptions from November or earlier so I don't think that applies

what do you need here @lyric elm ?

[lyric elm]

launcher.txt

I think

[dusty needle]

oh right, I need to verify myself or something before I can send files

[lyric elm]

just DM me? That should work?

[lyric elm]

Oki I got a thing, its #arma3_launcher message this again.
Interesting, now to staring at code and trying to figure out how or why that might happen

https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/api/ISteamUGC#CreateQueryUGCDetailsRequest

Returns a new UGCQueryHandle_t upon success, and k_UGCQueryHandleInvalid in the following situations:
- unNumPublishedFileIDs is less than 1.
- An internal error occurred.
Ah the famous internal error. Neat ⚰️

[lyric elm]

Found a bug in the launcher, if it fails (because steam has some internal error) it doesn't retry until you restart the launcher.
I don't think fixing that would help much though, if it would, then restarting the launcher would be a workaround

[runic tiger]

sooo it's all Steam's fault and Gaben has to fix it now?

[lyric elm]

Well we didn't touch anything, just suddenly the steam requests are failing, so I'm inclined to blame steam

But I'll make a fix so the launcher will keep retrying, maybe that helps

[runic tiger]

[worn bronze]

immersion ruined

[lyric elm]

Someone wanna try?
Watching the launcher.log in %localappdata%/Arma 3 Launcher/Logs
this will probably log a exception every 10 seconds if steam keeps failing.
Or it will just work on a retry, if it works on second try or smth then I guess we have a "fix"

[languid siren]

log shows a constant repeat of https://pastebin.com/eUK0QnsG

[lyric elm]

jup, so steam keeps failing then :harold:
I don't think there's more i can do

[wind oar]

So what do we do now?

[lyric elm]

maybe steam debug mode would have more info, but I would need to have the issue myself..
Maybe I just need to subscribe 200 mods :harold:

Mh actually, I have an idea

[wind oar]

Oh?

[lyric elm]

I don't have to subscribe 200 mods, I just need to pretend I am subscribed to 200 mods, I can just copy that list of ID's and send that large request

If it is the high number of items, that should let me repro

[wind oar]

That's actually really smart

This is why you get the big bucks

[left vector]

I doubled checked and I've got ~250gb mods and on the 1st december version without the issue

300 mods in all

[lyric elm]

While this doesn't work.. well...
Don't subscribe to new mods :harold:
Or manually link them :harold:
uff

Reproduced!

Man I just wanted to go home

BAM

I'll fix it tomorrow. If you need a quick workaround, be subscribed to less than 1000 mods (Why do so many people have more than that :U HOW :U

yeah the other person who I got logs from had 1746

[runic tiger]

does it count subscribed missions and compositions?

[lyric elm]

I think all subscribed items yes

I think I will have a fix in about 20 hours and then I'll post a build in here, and then we'll have to see how we will handle it regarding game update hotfix whatever

🛏️ has priority sadly 😢

[left vector]

subscribed mods and compositions definitely driving those numbers up lol

being able to easily unsub from them without having to go to every workshop page would be nice but still

[runic tiger]

if you go to "your items" or whatever its called in English, go to subscribed and select Compositions/Scenarios category you can unsub from them one by one without going to separate workshop item pages

[left vector]

wait you can wha

[lament yacht]

What's the starting point there?

[left vector]

omg you can

[left vector]

here

[lament yacht]

How do you get there?

Web only, not launcher?

(steam is a goddamn mess)

[left vector]

Think so unfortunately

[lament yacht]

Scenarios are listed in library->right click on Arma 3->workshop, not sure about compositions though.

[languid siren]

Only thing you csnt do is unsub from deleted compositions.

[lyric elm]

Thats fixed on #perf_prof_branch 🫂

[dusty needle]

Ay, good to hear, looking forward to the fix. In defense of my mod count tho, I basically am at the point of being an addict to this game so

[wind oar]

Imagine now having half of the workshop subscribed to

[rugged wolf]

Per game/Arma 3? Or total needs to be less than 1000?

[lyric elm]

Should be Arma 3

[rigid gale]

so now we only have to stick up with 1000 really god job steam really good job

[wind oar]

Dedmen's gonna try to fix it tmr

[rigid gale]

i hope so i reinstall my game and all of my loadouts are gone because of this thing its really pissed me off i had like over 200 loadouts

[wind oar]

You know you could have saved those, right?

https://youtu.be/g8z0uPD43sc?t=39

[rigid gale]

yes i know i already backed up my profile files to another folder before the install everything was there just not the loadouts

[wind oar]

Ah, you forgot to grab the loadout part then

You can just grab the whole character profile, and it'll take everything from loadouts to settings to missions

[rigid gale]

its ok i do it if something happend for now i have 22 loadouts now

[rigid gale]

@lyric elm really thank you for your hard work

[wind oar]

I second this

[rugged wolf]

Launcher mod-profiles are in the launcher section of your windows user Appdata\local folder

[lyric elm]

don't use this, use the Steam RC branch instead

That should be working, can someone confirm?
Atleast my test works fine with this

[languid siren]

I can say that finally mods have been recognised as downloaded

https://gyazo.com/a3b346057c65ea9b466e0188c87614b2

[lyric elm]

[lyric elm]

Good then we use this as temp workaround till we release some update

[dusty needle]

also confirm working, massive thanks for the fix

[worn bronze]

Update performance branch with new exe

[dark heath]

not working for me, getting this error when i try to run it

[lyric elm]

Due to reasons, that's not an option

[lyric elm]

needs to be in Arma folder, where the normal launcher exe normally is

[ruby sorrel]

I can confirm it runs for me, too. Many thanks for the workaround

[worn bronze]

[dark heath]

thanks dude, it works

[shadow stirrup]

Thanks! You just saved my day!

[little narwhal]

@lyric elm i am jungleboy1234 from reddit. Please sticky my post so we can help fellow arma 3 players who dont access discord to see the hotfix (until full fix release). Thanks again it is working!

[wind oar]

You're the best

[little narwhal]

just for anyone FYI - it seems the launcher doesnt contain some of the parameters you may have previously added to improve performance e.g. memory allocator settings, no world, etc, this will need to be recreated on that tab on the launcher. At least for me, idk about anyone else yet.

[lyric elm]

am not reddit moderator, cannot sticky

[astral tartan]

Started having an issue today where the A3 Launcher won't download or update Steam Workshop mods. I've tried restarting steam, restarting my PC, logging out of Steam and back in, clearing the Steam download cache, using the beta version of Steam and going back to the regular version, but none of it has done anything.

Anyone have any suggestions other than uninstalling everything, reinstalling Arma and redownloading 800+ gigabytes of mods?

[left vector]

pins

[astral tartan]

That seems to have fixed it. Thank you.

[trail goblet]

@lyric elm Thank you, the Launcher Fix works...Legend

[little narwhal]

now i need someone to tell me where can i redownload mods i unsubbed. I was removing some mods that came up with a broken chain because they were outdated/not compatible, but i think it can be resubbed now 😄

[rugged wolf]

Use your brain to remember which mods (or scenarios) those were. Or check every mod you still have subscribed if they have any dependancies listed on their page.

[outer flame]

u could add them to a "collection" or just favorite them

[outer flame]

Thank you, that launcher you sent is indeed definitely working amazingly.
My only question is if anything was shared about how soon could we expect a hotfix to implement it through Steam itself?

I'm asking this because Steam some times replaces the "fixed" launcher with the "old broken" one (because it is the current "official" version), which makes it impossible to perform verify integrity of the game files.

[outer flame]

also could add them to a "mod list" (html file)

[drowsy olive]

Wheres the rest of the context for this? having the same issue and i want to follow the steps

[runic tiger]

Pinned, download the launcher and put the exe in your Arma 3 folder

[frail star]

I need help my Bulldozer always opens when i want to launch Arma 3...

[outer flame]

check the parameters, you probably checked the "Bulldozer" parameter

[frail star]

Parameter in the Laucher or Object Builder ?

[sterile moth]

Launcher

[frail star]

Okay so apparently i didnt checked Bulldozer but for some reason there was no profile selected.

I guess that happen because i used O2 with Steam closed and wanted to view my Model.

But it works now

[little narwhal]

i didnt save them to either and forgot what they were lol. Oh well, i guess if i dont play it its not needed. I mean i'm the one with like a billion workshop subs (hence i had experiecned this issue/bug) lol.

[golden ermine]

So your parameters got reset after replacing the EXE? Anyone else?

[runic tiger]

it saves the parameters I'm using but it doesn't remember the window size I set before closing it, however it's not really an issue

[golden ermine]

But is that new to this custom EXE? We're deciding whether to update to main branch, and hints of new issues sway things away from doing so just before Xmas

[runic tiger]

well the old launcher cached any changes to the window size and position, the new one with Steam fix goes back to a default very smol window every restart

[lyric elm]

The new one doesn't come from our build servers, it's a home build. I guess that could cause that

We could put a buildserver one in here and test that

[golden ermine]

We are currently preparing a public RC-Branch; should arrive today. Still not decided whether it will go to main branch this year, but it would be 100% compatible with main any way.

[languid siren]

I had a weird full screening issue, resolved it now (it kept full screening but with taskbar).
PIP was also maxed out.

But I think, that's it so far.

[outer flame]

God, I want to be notified when the RC branch goes public (if it comes with the fixed launcher)

[golden ermine]

Here you go: https://twitter.com/ArmaPlatform/status/1602329664034410498

Arma Platform (@ArmaPlatform)

A recent Steam Workshop change may cause subscribers of many #Arma3 mods to no longer see them in Launcher. RC-Branch offers a fix and is fully compatible with main branch (it only updates Launcher).

[little narwhal]

yeah thats right. I had to reapply settings. Its not a biggie for me though because i was only using the tick box ones, but for someone who has lots obv a bit of an issue

[rugged wolf]

Community managers active in the Steam discussion channels might also need to post a warning about this issue. Or give a heads up about it some how.

[viral ice]

hi how work the fix for the luncher pls ? i dunno what i need to do

[wind oar]

Look in the pinned comments

[viral ice]

yeah idid but i don't know what i need to do. what is rc branch ? where do i put the code in steam ?

sorry im very noob

[wind oar]

I have no idea, I used the exe dedmen put in here

[viral ice]

you just execute the exe ?

[wind oar]

Put it in the Arma3 folder, so it replaces the current launcher. And boom.

Idk how to do it the proper way either

[viral ice]

yep it's not very explicit what we have to do with the RC thing...

the code is not working it seems so...

[wind oar]

That sucks

[viral ice]

@wind oar thx for your help

[wind oar]

Of course mate

[golden ermine]

The steps are here: https://dev.arma3.com/rc-branch
I'd recommend this approach over using the custom EXE file.

[viral ice]

@golden ermine i did the step and put the coďe... but the code don't work

[sterile moth]

Make sure you didn't have spaces or some invisible characters

[viral ice]

i checked twice and copy/paste : Arma3LauncherFix210RC

steam don't recognize it

[sterile moth]

Worked for me

Just in case, which application you put into?

[rugged wolf]

I tried it too yesterday, didn't work either. But today it did. Strange.

[golden ermine]

Try fully quitting Steam client and restarting it, sometimes it needs to fetch the latest online configuration.

[viral ice]

steam --> livrary --> arma 3 properties --> Beta --> enter the code --> steam tell me the code is not working

;-;

[hollow bane]

When I copy the code you pasted, there is a zero width character at the end.

[sterile moth]

Indeed there is

[viral ice]

Arma3launcherFix210RC

[sterile moth]

Think it is case sensitive

[hollow bane]

Yea, it is case-sensitive. The L in launcher should be capitalised.

Arma3LauncherFix210RC

[viral ice]

😞 not working either maybe i will wait a new update

[sterile moth]

Tried this?

[viral ice]

yep relunch steam even the computer

[upbeat wave]

I cant download some mods from workshop.. I click subscribe and they dont appear on the launcher

I tried the RC thing , put in the code and restarted the launcher but no luck

[rugged wolf]

Are they actual mods? Or are they really scenarios? If in that case, they don't show up in the launcher mods page. But when you choose a scenario for the particular terrain (in multiplayer) or the single player scenario tab.

[wind oar]

@upbeat wave Look at this

[wind oar]

If that doesn't work then use this

[drowsy junco]

is it a known/common issue that the A3 launcher tends to forget changes to what parameters are set to favorite?

it seems at times it is unable to store changes in the setup

[runic tiger]

It's known to happen on the newest gaben-proof version, both this and forgetting the window size

[drowsy junco]

hm i am only running the perf branch - dont think this has the fixed launcher, does it?

[hollow bane]

Perf branch is using the stable as a base, but the new Launcher is only on RC right now. Or the special dedmen build of the launcher that is pinned in this channel.

[broken shard]

btw is there a reason that the list export for presets is still a thing?

(as in exporting a preset as a list, not as an actual preset)

is there an actual use case for it?

[lyric wharf]

I got a problem that I'm hoping maybe someone else dealt with before. The parameters settings in my A3 Launcher keep resetting every time I restart the game and I'm not sure if there is a fix for it since I'm on Ubuntu.

[rugged wolf]

I am not a linux user, so don't take my word for correct. Sounds like file/folder permissions issue causing it to not save them. But that is just speculation. The official linux version of Arma 3 is way out of date. Not sure if that is the cause. But thesedays you should use the Windows install of the game with that not-an-emulator-wrapper software that I can't remember the name of. Proton-something? Maybe it does something special with how your profile files and the launcher settings are stored.

[lyric elm]

I've heard about it, afaik it's a bug without fix

[rigid gale]

is the workshop items still have a limt?

[sterile moth]

What limit?

You mean 1000 items limit?

[rigid gale]

yeah

[sterile moth]

I do believe it is not released as the public branch yet, but you can try it out from the pinned post

[lyric wharf]

Hard to say. It remembers my mod load order but not the parameters. Funnily enough, the DLC tab has a visual glitch where the word "DLC" is more like "DL C."

But did an op with a unit that uses BattleEye and had no issues besides that.

[hollow urchin]

to much channels idk where to put this but I downloaded some mods and

[sterile moth]

!steamverify

[vapid halo]

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

[sterile moth]

Try this^

[fresh bluff]

and maybe check your dependencies

[dire citrus]

Hi i don't know if this is the right spot for this but i can't figure this out?

[waxen wadi]

you need either Western Sahara CDLC (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1681170/Arma_3_Creator_DLC_Western_Sahara/) or its compatibility data (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2636962953&searchtext=western+sahara) to get rid of that error

[dire citrus]

i don't need the aegis stuff and i tried to get rid of it but it just doesn't work

So i just removed the aegis stuff but then

[lament yacht]

Apparently you have another mod that depends on Aegis.

[dire citrus]

I found it

i am fixing so many mods rn

not even funny

[wind oar]

@lyric elm Thank you for all of your work on the Launcher problem, means alot you resolved it so fast

[runic tiger]

if a preset has space character in its file name like preset .preset2, it is impossible to delete it through launcher and will always come back on launcher restart. Possible to be tweaked or not really?

it doesn't have that space character in its name in launcher in the preset list

[pulsar quiver]

Hello my launcher cant install a particular mod. Any ideas?

https://imgur.com/LuVg20d

Troubleshooting done:
Repaired mod, resub mod, manually checked the workshop content folder, and the mod is there, but strangely, it's not showing up in the !Workshop folder.

When I try to add local mod pointing to the directory of the steam workshop content folder, it shows up fine.

i.e. files are downloaded but won't install. The said downloaded files can be added as local mod.

[drowsy junco]

is there a chance to see the launcher forgetting the "favorite" settings being fixed?
any information/files/logs needed to narrow down the source of the issue?

[hollow bane]

Did you use the EXE Dedmen provided, or the one from the RC/now Stable? Logs are useful as always, I don't think there is a ticket for this issue yet, right?

[drowsy junco]

I am on perf branch and did not grab the exe itself provided. From what i understand, the latest is available since yesterday for any branch.
Plus it was not something to be fixed or new, no?

I made a private ticket with the logs. Couldnt find any other ticket, but as there is no search filter for category exposed, you have to rely on good naming.

1.5.150.150 is the version i have atm

[hollow bane]

Yesterday we updated the launcher on Profiling, yes.

[lyric elm]

should be fixable, ticket plox

[runic tiger]

https://feedback.bistudio.com/T169701 done 🎫

[dusk vessel]

any suggestions?

[sterile moth]

Possibly fixable by re-installing VC2013 and/or DirectX

[sterile moth]

Is it just me or, does the Launcher not let me to leave my mouse from Launcher (mouse cannot leave the area of Launcher) unless I do Alt+Tab after the latest update? Dev-Branch rn

[hasty elm]

Works for me

[hasty elm]

I had something like this a long time ago, try to look at the "Enable edge swipe" option

Some forums even advise to lower security, I do not understand how this is even related lol

[carmine willow]

can i suggest a way to export -mod command lines from the set of mods of choice?

[runic tiger]

there are 3rd party programs for that already afaik

[waxen wadi]

For the mod sets i use just copying the launch parameters from arma's own rpt works. Can't guarantee it would work with big mod counts, though

[runic tiger]

https://a3config.byjokese.com/stringGen.html this works pretty good, I had a custom app that was looking for clientside/non-server-side mods and was creating a bunch of files for HC, server and client, but it gone

[carmine willow]

is there something that detects what should go as -serverMod instead of -Mod?

what alternative launchers are out there?

[sterile moth]

Well, just realized that I don't even have the issue anymore even though I didn't do anything actually than restarting Windows, guess was a Windows' hiccup

[carmine willow]

im talking about integrating a export function right in the launcher

[drowsy junco]

if you do "repair" (mod), it stops the current active download/update of another mod and switches over to the selected

is that intended?

[rugged wolf]

rpt truncates the commandline it shows if it is too long. Usually due to many mods.

[waxen wadi]

Hence the second part of my message 🤷‍♂️

[carmine willow]

you can always just grab it within process explorer

[visual zinc]

Is there a way to export the "commandline" the launcher uses to start the game with all current settings?

I'd like an easy way to create a shortcut directly in the launcher with certain mods + to load into an editor mission when i work on a mission over a longer period of time. its all there just not the button or any way to create this shortcut 😢

[runic tiger]

if its for mission making why not use html presets?

[visual zinc]

can a html do that?

[runic tiger]

oh, I forgot people use this since selecting mod set from presets menu and choosing the mission in editor is around 30 seconds of difference

one way would be to copy the command line from RPT file but it might not render it fully if you use too many mods

another - copy the process name from task manager, unfortunately I forgot how to dump info from it

[rugged wolf]

That screenshot has got nothing to do with the HTML preset. Look in the Mods tab of the launcher. Whatever mods you enabled for that mission you are creating, you can export the list to a html file that others can drag over to the launcher to subscribe/download/load those mods as well.

screenshot of what I mean.

[visual zinc]

I feel like you missunderstood my question:

I would like to create a shortcut with all parameters, INCLUDING mods, but also, for example, editor mission file.
Is there a way, to export all PARAMETERS from the launcher, it is currently set at?

[carmine willow]

process explorer or process hacker is the way, you cant in windows task manager unless you can capture the text field

[carmine willow]

you can't, launch the game and copy it with a task manager that allows so

[pulsar quiver]

Are there really no solution for this issue here?

I even posted a ticket and got nothing yet
https://feedback.bistudio.com/T169699

The mods are downloaded fine in my PC

Currently it's these four:
FnF
IFX window break
Immerse
Antistasi Plus 2.0

I initially suspected it was related to hdd space because my HDD where I store my user documents went kaput recently and I had to create a new user document folder in other HDD

[pulsar quiver]

But they're downloaded fine and I can even make them as local mods via launcher.

[drowsy junco]

get the current command line from the rpt and put into a batch file

@pulsar quiver you need to attach the launcher logs to your ticket

[pulsar quiver]

Oh damn I forgot about that. Figures.

Is it Launcher.log or Launcher.1.log?

Now that I've checked the log. Could it be because of this?

D: was my broken HDD

[drowsy junco]

the whole folder from C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Arma 3 Launcher\Logs

[mental topaz]

How to change launcher background?

[mental topaz]

thx

[carmine willow]

why launching -server does not cause the close the game to manage mods message?

[hollow urchin]

ahhh

[carmine willow]

are features that 3rd party launchers already have going to be added?

[lyric elm]

unlikely

[carmine willow]

how about important stuff such as exporting command line and executable selection?

no?

i had a bug where switching accounts caused the launcher to completely redownload already subscribed items

maybe it was steam not the launcher

i ended up deleting everything and validating

[lyric elm]

unlikely

[carmine willow]

because its too niche or its on maintenance patches only?

[lyric elm]

Because I have better things to do
If I'd have time to waste, sure, but I don't

[carmine willow]

you're the lead programmer?

[lyric elm]

I am the programmer that would do things on the launcher

[carmine willow]

I see

the work is not worth it for players comfort?

[lyric elm]

yeah

[carmine willow]

good to know, thanks

[carmine willow]

?

[drowsy junco]

no ideal but you can get the info from the rpt log and put it into a batch file

[rugged wolf]

• if you don't use so many mods the line gets clipped at the end of the max character length.

[carmine willow]

already talked about that earlier, i know

[carmine willow]

Again a better alternative is pulling it from a task manager

[rugged wolf]

The better alternative is learning how to write commandlines and the parameters in the proper way. 😉 And write them yourself in a batch-file, or powershell script I guess thesedays

[carmine willow]

yeah but its a lot of mods

thats why its easier to grab it from the launcher preset

i know how to write commandline parameters, its the mod list that i have a issue with

[fleet vessel]

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone can help me with a technical issue i'm having. Whenever I launch my arma 3 Launcher my Launcher is saying plesae exit game to manage mods... I don't have the game open and I have looked in task manager and it defo isn't open so I can't edit my mods as the launcher thinks the game is running when it isn't. anyone know a fix. many thanks

please @ or DM me many thanks!!

[drowsy junco]

@fleet vessel upload your logs here a zip (remove sensitive information if any first)
see: #arma3_launcher message

[somber loom]

Why is my launcher re-downloading all of my mods from scratch if they're already downloaded and in the workshop folder?

[rugged wolf]

Steam/the launcher gets confused sometimes about the mods it has. Get's it's paperwork about it in a turmoil and figures it needs to repair/redownload everything. Haven't experienced it myself yet. Many other have.

[carmine willow]

you're not spending disk space anyway

[fleet vessel]

@drowsy junco Can I PM you them?

or screen share so you can see and point me in right direction?

[fleet vessel]

Please SOMEONE help me.. i'm at my wits end with this issue

[drowsy junco]

drop in here or make ticket at https://feedback.bistudio.com/maniphest/task/edit/form/3/

any advice specifically for launcher issues?

uhhhh

the launcher crashes im experiencing do not generate a exception log

[drowsy junco]

pack up the logs from the launcher

and post it to ft?

i think i found something in steam.native.log

i found the issue i think

don't think thats it. That might happen on shutdown, doesn't really matter

[carmine willow]

dang it

[carmine willow]

its effectively the reason, event log says

normal startup looks like this

dedmen, do you want this in FT?

uhhhhhh

actually my bad

that log doesnt correspond to the same launch

the posted log session crashed because of Faulting module path: G:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Launcher\MSVCR120.dll

but yeah

i had a crash where steamlayer was the issue

the logs are just abruptly cut off

but it did happen during startup

im not sure how to interpret Assertion failed 'false'

[carmine willow]

it happens on startup

why does the preset show up as unsaved on startup?

how do you troubleshoot crashes that provide no logs?

[carmine willow]

now it magically stopped crashing

[cunning palm]

how to use limitFPS?

this doesnt work

[languid siren]

Becuase you aren't using the right thing

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Startup_Parameters

[waxen wadi]

if you use launcher 🤷‍♂️

[cunning palm]

so command line

"-maxfps 60" in command line doesnt work either

[languid siren]

You didnt read what i linked clearly

[waxen wadi]

from the linked doc

[cunning palm]

-limitFPS=60 or "-limitFPS=60" dont work

[waxen wadi]

server FPS limit
🤔

[languid siren]

rip

vysnc it is

[cunning palm]

tsc tsc

can use shift - fps still

[drowsy junco]

isnt this server only anyway?

[opaque wyvern]

Anyone know why certain servers don't show up on the launcher? For example Antistasi community server 1 and 2 was showing up yesterday but server 2 doesn't show up today. Another server, similar problem. If i go into Steam -> View -> Servers sometimes i can see it in all of the lists be it favorites, internet, sometimes i can only see it in history. Today i can see server 2 in favorites and it can query player info when i look at the info. But if i press join server, it doesn't show me the mod list to join. It doesn't show up in the favorites tab in the launcher either. A bit more technical side, when i press join server in working servers it first queries game server for example 2302, then Steam query port 2303, then it shows the mod list and server info in launcher. With the servers that don't work, it queries the game server but it gets stuck at Steam query port and it keeps retrying for a bit then gives up. I tried with a VPN, different Steam regions selected from the client, deleted launcher related profile folders none of it worked and i need help.

To add i can join the servers no problem while in-game, they also show up in the lists.

Just not the launcher

[opaque wyvern]

I tried to use mobile hotspot internet and i can see the servers when i'm connected like that.

[opaque wyvern]

I don't know if it's something to do with ISP or modem but i guess i'm out of luck if is ISP related

But it's really weird that it's the same ip with different ports that are getting blocked

Another thing to note, when i connect with mobile hotspot, refresh and see the problematic servers, even if i switch back to my normal internet i still can refresh and see those servers until i restart the launcher

I can click join and the mod information loads

[hardy remnant]

i was launching Arma 3 and there was this error i just igored and a note thing with the crash

[jovial bobcat]

Anyone knows what causes the error Unable_to_init_DXGI when I open arma with mods?(works fine having no mods enabled)

[runic tiger]

a broken mod probably

[small spade]

My launcher doesn't work.

[lyric elm]

wow I've never seen that 🤔

Press WIN+R type %localappdata% and run

in there find "Arma 3 Launcher" folder and delete it (It will delete your mod presets if you had any stored)

Also find the "Bohemia_Interactive" folder. In there is a folder that starts with arma3launcher.exe
delete that too. Try if launcher works now

[small spade]

Sadly it didn't work.

[lyric elm]

I don't know then :/

[small spade]

Welp I guess I wont play with my friends 😔

[drowsy junco]

@small spade you can launch the game directly via the arma3_x64.exe or use a custom launcher from the community

[small spade]

Yeah I did that. It was a pain to enable the mods though but meh

[rugged wolf]

I think Dedmen implied you need to verify the install through Steam. Not only to delete the file and folder.

[small spade]

Oh

[small spade]

Wait how can I verify it?

[rugged wolf]

!steamverify

[vapid halo]

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

[small spade]

Sadly it also did not work

[bitter grove]

are there startup parameters to put you directly into the virtual arsenal?

[small spade]

Im not sure but I think the issue is my ram because its like 7 years old. Now when I play the game it crashed and today when I was trying to reopen it, it couldn't respond. Ill just upgrade my pc someday

[runic tiger]

I am unable to remove local mods from Launcher, once I click on "remove from list" they get aut-included, any other way to get rid of them?

I checked \AppData\Local\Arma 3 Launcher but I don't see any file that would keep the data of mods detected by launcher

looks like it happens only with mods that have a number in front of their name (at least all that start with "3G" in my case)

[lament yacht]

Curious. There's "watched folder" functionality in the launcher but I don't think that would be name-dependent.

[runic tiger]

I have no watched folders set

[lament yacht]

gonna guess that it's an old "feature".

It's someone else's problem, not mine, but he says he's tried reinstalling the game, verifying integrity of game files, computer formatting, turning off the firewall, port forwarding, and server searching, but he can't find the one server he wants to connect in Arma 3 Launcher. Does anyone know how to solve this?

Can anyone else connect to that server?

[night crystal]

I can see that server, and can connect to it

How about ingame browser?

[night crystal]

He says he can see it in-game browser, but that server uses a lot of addons, so he needs connect as Arma 3 Launcher to connect to it.

Yeah, this is at least not the "worst" situation

But strange indeed, I think never heard of such issue

Is he sure he has NO filters?

[night crystal]

Server name he wanna connect is "[Addon] 울산서버 비번공오이 디코:E8evAPQAYd", and I can also find it quickly because the ping is low by local standards. This screenshot is a situation that he showed.

Very strange... one and only server is missing?

I also searched a lot of articles related to that problem to help him, but there was no proper solution.

Is this on Perf branch?
