Anyone else having cup core/maybe other addon too vanished from a3 launcher ? also gone from !workshop folder but im still subscribed and steam showing no wks update(restarted steam)

lyric elm Feb 27, 2019, 8:12 PM

#

Mod disappeared from workshop yes.

frail mica Feb 27, 2019, 10:09 PM

#

Most likely a steam hickup. CUP has not removed content from the workshop

analog sigil Feb 27, 2019, 10:45 PM

#

I had 2 guys have the same thing happen to them today. They just unsubbed and resubbed.

drowsy junco Mar 10, 2019, 12:25 PM

#

if you try to unsubscribe from a mod in the launcher, while a file handle to files of the folder is still open, the launcher freezes

tender granite Mar 17, 2019, 6:47 PM

#

is it normal that launcher creeps out and shows almost no servers, or am I doing something wrong

#

seems like BI master server isnt very agile, same behaviour with ingame browser

lyric elm Mar 17, 2019, 6:48 PM

#

Steam master server*

tender granite Mar 17, 2019, 6:48 PM

#

hmm how come its not the case with other games?

#

anything I can do on my side

#

I mean look at this, pathetic https://i.imgur.com/NfVRUdK.jpg

#

how about this setting https://i.imgur.com/3CwQZff.png @lyric elm ?

lyric elm Mar 17, 2019, 6:51 PM

#

Your pings look okey tho

tender granite Mar 17, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

aye it just wont list many servers, and must say it hoggs my internet connection when it searches servers

#

as if like I am running some heavy p2p

#

but Im not

tender granite Mar 22, 2019, 7:03 PM

#

why is launcher such a hog, it eats all my internet, I cant even open a browser
Im not sure if I should report this as a bug
anyone else experience this?

#

https://i.imgur.com/jRb8qwv.png

lyric elm Mar 22, 2019, 7:06 PM

#

Are you sure it's the launchers fault?

tender granite Mar 22, 2019, 7:06 PM

#

yes, please dont start tech support tricks on me 😂

#

whenever I run launcher and go to servers tab to look for a server, all my other apps seize working (no internet), browsers report there is no internet too

#

resolving host... dns probe finished - no internet

#

mind you Im on a broadband cable connection, 75/5Mbps

#

I have only seen this happening when using bit torrent software and arma3

#

number of connections or something, but even with BT I can at least open a browser, slower but it runs

frail mica Mar 22, 2019, 10:39 PM

#

what's the load on your ethernet port? have you checked that?

tender granite Mar 23, 2019, 8:02 PM

#

@frail mica what do you mean load?

frail mica Mar 23, 2019, 8:44 PM

#

what is the traffic load on your ethernet port when you have the system monitor open while you have the launcher running?

#

@tender granite

tender granite Mar 23, 2019, 8:47 PM

#

almost nothing measure in kb

#

@frail mica I captured traffic with wireshark but I never used it and have no idea what I was looking at

frail mica Mar 23, 2019, 8:48 PM

#

then your router is bottle necking

#

check for too many connections warnings, ect. in your routers system logs

#

i had similar issues long time ago with an old fritz box

tender granite Mar 23, 2019, 8:49 PM

#

shew, my router is some old cable wireless voice gateway and its menu is very limited

#

or Im locked out by admin from some settings

#

Thompson / Technicolor something

#

but it only happens with arma 3 when searching for servers

#

flood?

frail mica Mar 23, 2019, 8:51 PM

#

ok... i'd bet my ass it's your router
flood sounds similar

#

*familiar

#

that's sort of the warning for too many connections

#

iirc

#

and tbh, i doubt you can fix that on your router

tender granite Mar 23, 2019, 8:52 PM

#

https://i.imgur.com/t8BaAW4.png

#

no that came to my mind, I didnt see it anywhere being reported

frail mica Mar 23, 2019, 8:53 PM

#

hmmm... you could try to deactivate ip flood detection

#

you have a copy of your routers log when this happens?

tender granite Mar 23, 2019, 8:54 PM

#

no there is no page anywhere with logs

#

but looks like this fixed it

frail mica Mar 23, 2019, 8:54 PM

#

hmmmmmm

tender granite Mar 23, 2019, 8:54 PM

#

let me try again

#

nah it worked once I disabled flood detection and now its behaving the same as before

frail mica Mar 23, 2019, 9:00 PM

#

hmmm...
i'm honestly out of ideas then. like i said, i'd bet my ass it's your router bottle necking.

maybe connection limit on hoster

tender granite Mar 23, 2019, 9:03 PM

#

looks like it works now, when I disabled flood detection and port scan detection

#

this makes me vulnerable Im not sure I should leave this like that

lyric elm Mar 23, 2019, 9:03 PM

#

"vulnerable" uh..

#

Just don't open ports that you don't want open

frail mica Mar 23, 2019, 9:04 PM

#

👆

lyric elm Mar 23, 2019, 9:04 PM

#

and flood detection won't help you much if they just saturate your connection with a DDoS

frail mica Mar 23, 2019, 9:06 PM

#

i don't even have those options anymore. my old routers had them iirc, but this stuff should be detected by the ISP already

#

so i'd say you're still pretty save to detick those params

#

sorry, i was wrong.
i just checked my router and i still have the ip flood detection

#

but it's deactivated

tender granite Mar 23, 2019, 9:10 PM

#

okay that seem to be the thing, but I will try once more to be sure

#

its kind of random now, but it works better than it did, and its not hogging anymore

#

guess 4 or more eyes and 2 heads see more than one, cheers

After the the update steam a3 launcher shows a extra mod top of mod list for server. The mod has no name. And server doesnt show up on A3 launcher anymore because says unkown mod. Has anyone else have this problem?

hei guys, i have a little problem, i can't run the launcher, it starts, but doesn't load, and just close without any message :S what can i do? 😦

vapid sand Apr 29, 2019, 2:55 AM

#

heyo, question:

When unsubscribing and deleting the files of mods,

Shouldn't i be seeing the drive they are all installed on begin to gain more storage space? Is there an extra step i need to take? Have i made a terrible mistake...?

heavy jetty Apr 29, 2019, 3:54 PM

#

Have you found the hidden !workshop folder? @vapid sand

vapid sand Apr 29, 2019, 3:54 PM

#

i have!

#

it seems it just required a restart of my PC to see the updated status of the drive

#

quite unusual but hey, it worked doing it all form the launcher

heavy jetty Apr 29, 2019, 3:55 PM

#

If you're on a hdd, uninstalling anything over 5gb might be worth a defrag if your Windows doesn't do it automatically

vapid sand Apr 29, 2019, 3:58 PM

#

im on a partitioned SSD. I think the problem lies somewhere in my bios. But, if all it takes is a simple restart, then I don't feel the need to go digging 😅

they stopped updating mac and linux.
The ports project has been suspended for a undefined time.

@gentle oxide No update today soon but now we are on 1.82 version and add me to play with me and others users like us on mac and linux 😄

best solution is to create a boot camp windows 8.1 more stable on MAC but it depends wich type of MAc you have 😄

I'm seeing an odd behavior with the launcher after installing MSI afterburner. Whenever I start launcher, afterburner quietly shuts down. Not minimized, not in tray. No process running either. Whats up with that?

grand summit May 11, 2019, 7:30 PM

#

Ok case closed, seems it's related to battle eye and the kernel level monitoring. Setting low-level access to kernel mode seems to solve this issue.

Go to your Arma 3 install directory (where you installed the game)
BattlEye folder
Uninstall battleye (make sure arma is fully closed)
Install battleye (again, closed fully)
Launch arma
Click ok (It's just asking if it can sell your information to chinnese hackers or something)

it failed again

hollow knoll May 15, 2019, 5:42 AM

#

Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\BattlEye and delete contents in that folder.
Now open ArmA 3 game by Launcher and see if that BE folder populates with the new files.
If it doesn't update the BE folder, go to the Steam window and right-click on ArmA 3 > Properties
Select the Local Files tab in that window and select Verify Integrity of Game Files
After that, launch ArmA 3 again and it should update the BattleEye folder.

#

@brisk gale how much RAM do you have and how big is your page file?

#

I used to get DX errors like that when I didn't have enough memory available, because a Windows 10 update reduced my page file settings

brisk gale May 19, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

what's page file?

timber folio May 19, 2019, 10:39 PM

#

temporary disk space that the game uses while running, to supplement RAM

i have 12GB of ram
ive played arma a lot before but this just suddenly started happening

#

Hmm, I would think that 12GB would be enough

frail mica May 19, 2019, 10:46 PM

#

some windows / driver update screwed you over. i would say it was win10, like always. the only thing i can imagine is to try the solutions described in the links.
worst case, reinstall win10. no so bad case, revert to win8.1

brisk gale May 19, 2019, 10:48 PM

#

im going to try the solutions you sent and if they dont work
would going to win8 be a bad idea?

frail mica May 19, 2019, 10:50 PM

#

LOL no... :D
i had win 10 installed for exactly 3 days and straight went back to 8.1
way less issues with the more mature but older OS than with this BS beta state win10

#

sure, the UI is kinda s**t, but there is this nice little thing called "classic shell for windows 8.1"

#

all latest reported issues with arma can be narrowed down to windows 10 (id say 95% of the cases)
mostly (USB) audio and graphics driver dropouts

#

it all started with the autumn creators update for win10 back in '17 iirc

brisk gale May 19, 2019, 10:55 PM

#

if i do go back to windows 8 would i have to reinstall everything?

frail mica May 19, 2019, 10:56 PM

#

most likely i guess

brisk gale May 19, 2019, 10:57 PM

#

oof alright

frail mica May 19, 2019, 10:57 PM

#

well, you should reset your system from time to time anyway. i do it ever 5-6 months

drowsy junco Jun 2, 2019, 4:30 AM

#

is there a way to make the A3 launcher server browser query more servers at the same time?

#

i see here only like 5 per second

#

so to scan all 10k+ it takes over 30 minutes

drowsy junco Jun 2, 2019, 4:53 AM

#

even querying the official servers it takes a minute to get the first ten

#

and you get quite some CPU use by both Steam and A3 launcher..

drowsy junco Jun 2, 2019, 5:10 AM

#

it seems like while its polling for servers, it doesnt have some cpu wait, but way too aggressive checking for new input

#

for official servers also it seems not to stop even though it found all there is

I think you can configure that in the steam settings

Not sure if it's just me, but when browsing the launcher for Livonia (Enoch) it shows an unknown mod that has no name even on server with no mods

Trying to use game updater to install the Dev branch of Arma 3. Followed all the steps, made sure development was selected and have the new folder with [Development] in it. However the launcher within that folder still seems to just launch the standard version of the game, not the Dev branch.

#

sounds like you dont have dotnet and vcredist libraries installed

#

if you go into your main Steam install directory to this folder - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Steamworks Shared\_CommonRedist you will find redistributables,.
Within the DotNet folder navigate to the 4.5.2 folder and run the executable there to install the DotNet libs.
Within the vcredist folder you will have to navigate to each of these folders: 2010, 2012, 2013.
Within each one of the above folder run the vcredist_x64.exe if you are on a 64Bit OS and run the vcredist_x86.exe if you are on a 32bit OS.
Do those in order starting with 2010, then 2012, and finally 2013.
When you are done restart your computer to ensure the libraries updated properly and then try to run the launcher again.
@sour spade ^^ try this and let us know how you get on.

@hollow urchin

knotty steppe Jul 26, 2019, 4:55 AM

#

So i've had to ditch a mod on our server since the update because it couldn't deliver the mod details to anyone browsing for it. I'm guessing the contact dlc just added to the size of the query.

#

Is this ever going to be properly addressed?

drowsy junco Jul 26, 2019, 4:58 AM

#

@knotty steppe how many mods do you have and did you edit the mods.cpp yet?

knotty steppe Jul 26, 2019, 5:00 AM

#

27, mostly bloated by compatibility mods. I've messed with mods.cpp before, but that often results in the launcher not being able to point the user to the correct workshop item.

#

Why this feature of the launcher even references the mod by name instead of by its numerical ID is beyond me.

#

Or rather, determine the name and other information of the mod from the ID.

stable parrot Jul 26, 2019, 3:09 PM

Hey there, I'm not entirely sure what's going on. But my Malwarebytes seems to often block the Arma3Launcher saying that it's a trojan.

#

https://imgur.com/a/yTtwJWD

#

That's a picture of it.

#

When I look up the IP that it's trying to connect to I get this.

#

https://imgur.com/a/SEghLmi

#

I am very concerned and would like to know what's going on.

#

I actually get this alert from the arma3launcher.exe multiple times while I have the launcher open and the alerts often come from a few different IP's.

#

I am unsure on why this is happening.

#

I have checked the file on virustotal and it came up clean.

#

The hash is 34517d84742c33e36a9f81ab39dbeabde5a10e565833632354cf53e046d2e98e
arma3launcher.exe

#

Is this what it's supposed to be?

#

Generally it doesn't seem to be an issue but I am concerned for my security.

#

I had wondered if malwarebytes was preventing me from port forwarding properly but am cautious because of this.

frail mica Jul 26, 2019, 3:25 PM

malwarebytes is crap... simple as it is. use alternatives
if not, add the launcher to the whitelist

If virustotal says it's clean I would rather believe virustotal

stable parrot Jul 26, 2019, 3:41 PM

#

Yeah but now I'm concerned as to what is trying to connect to that chinese ip?

turbid brook Jul 26, 2019, 3:46 PM

#

Maybe the launcher is trying to connect to a chinese Arma server, to ask it how many players that server has playing right now, so it can tell you 0/60?

The launcher still switches languages after every update, even though the selected language never changes (in game's properties in Steam and even in the launcher itself). I have to change language in the launcher, select No when asked to restart the laucnher, select desired language and this time allow it to restart. Nothing game-breaking (launcher-breaking?), but a bit annoying, and it has been happening for as long as I can remember.

So Arma 3 has been giving me issues regarding a start up. It will simply drop a file containing a whole lot of text which states that the issue is "System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory"

This brought stress and worry as I thought my RAM was the issue but I did run tests and no problems were found. I also did a fresh install which also didn't seem to help the problem.

No clue what's happening but it is quite frustrating.

zinc depot Nov 28, 2019, 1:32 AM

Well, it does sound like a memory issue, even when it doesn't look like it.

Well thats a start, your arma is fine, which makes the memory issue (which the memory test showing no faults already ruled out anyway) even more unlikely 👀

I think in Arma folder, there is a arma3launcher.exe.config file? or some .config named file?
I don't know if its there or in my documents or elsewhere, don't have access to a Arma bearing computer right now

near jewel Nov 28, 2019, 9:09 AM

#

I found it Yeah

#

Once locating the file, what needs to happen ?

lyric elm Nov 28, 2019, 9:14 AM

#

the launcher config?

#

just try deleting it

near jewel Nov 28, 2019, 9:14 AM

#

alright~

lyric elm Nov 28, 2019, 9:14 AM

#

it shouldn't have any important data in it

#

then try if launcher works, if not. Go to arma directory, delete "Launcher" directory, the launcher exe, and anything else in the main arma folder that contains "launcher" or seems related.
Then go into steam, and let it verify your game files, it will redownload the files that it needs.

#

If still nope, go to My Documents/Arma 3
and see if there is anything launcher related there, Sadly cannot check myself what's in there, and I never use the Arma Launcher ^^

Do you use mods?

#

Alright i'm giving that a shot

lyric elm Nov 28, 2019, 9:28 AM

#

yeah

near jewel Nov 28, 2019, 9:33 AM

#

I will keep you updated, Just hoping this works

#

Ah that would be a No unfortunately, Still does the exact same thing even with removing the files

lyric elm Nov 28, 2019, 9:36 AM

#

do you get mods from workshop?
as a alternative you could use a seperate tool to launch Arma, like Arma3Sync (it can also just launch the game without downloading mods)

near jewel Nov 28, 2019, 9:41 AM

#

yes I get them from the workshop

#

The only issue is the people i tend to play with throw a mod or two in.

#

So this could be a problem with mods. hmmm

lyric elm Nov 28, 2019, 9:46 AM

#

Problem is, the Arma launcher creates links for mods in !Workshop folder, and you need them for other launchers to be able to load your mods

#

but. Your arma launcher works fine, you just need to launch it once, let it download and link workshop mods. Then you can use another launcher to actually start the game

#

although thats a quite annoying process, but it'll work for now

near jewel Nov 28, 2019, 9:49 AM

#

woah Hold up xD

lyric elm Nov 28, 2019, 9:49 AM

#

So I dont need the launcher for the mods?

turbid brook Nov 28, 2019, 9:54 AM

#

If you know the directory where the mods have been downloaded by steam, then technically no, you don't need it

lyric elm Nov 28, 2019, 9:55 AM

#

steamapps/workshop/107410/complete
I think

#

But you only have ID numbers in there, I consider that "undoable" by someone not technically versed

near jewel Nov 28, 2019, 9:56 AM

#

or the launcher can decide to work as its supposed too D:

#

I got No clue how to fix this apart from a format

#

even then... it might not work

lyric elm Nov 28, 2019, 9:58 AM

#

I'd attach a debugger to maybe get more error details, search for more potentially broken config files in My Documents or Appdata.
Its definitely some problem with your system, as the launcher starting arma has been well tested and works for tens of thousands of other people.
So some weird config error that got into a config file in whatever way, or some other software you have installed doing something bad

near jewel Nov 28, 2019, 10:02 AM

#

should i potentially do a clean up?

#

since my main files are on my other hard drives ?

lyric elm Nov 28, 2019, 10:02 AM

#

not sure what you mean by clean up, I wouldn't know what software could be causing issues in that case

near jewel Nov 28, 2019, 10:05 AM

#

basically formatting my SSD

lyric elm Nov 28, 2019, 10:08 AM

#

If thats an option for you, you could try. But it would be too much effort to me, I'd just use another launcher or get me a batch script to launch the game like in the good ol Arma 2 days

near jewel Nov 28, 2019, 10:09 AM

#

hah, unfortunately when it comes to things not working as they are meant too and it giving issues that are unsolvable. yeah..format

It needs to work

turbid brook Nov 28, 2019, 10:13 AM

The only thing I can think of right now is that you may have some corrupted system dlls that the launcher is trying to use

not sure if correct channel, but is there a way to launch arma from the command line and tell it to connect to a specific server (if there is a way, then the follow on would be can we also automatically slot someone)? Context: I have a little desktop icon to launch arma with all of the proper context for things (e.g. mods)

if you really want to boost FPS, -noSound

I'm looking for guidance on making the launcher recommend mods to users that they dont have

#

I understand that mods that are listed with the -mods param are shown as content required by server, and are also ran on the server.
Can I get the server to make a mod "required" without actually running it on the server, for instance, client side mods

frail mica Mar 1, 2020, 7:04 AM

#

nope

#

only if you add the "client side" mods to your -mods also

#

meaning, uploading them to your server

rain relic Mar 1, 2020, 7:16 AM

#

thanks for the help, what does the server do with client side mods?, it might sound silly to ask this question, but for instance does putting a sound enhancement mod on a server make it load the sound files, even if it wont play them, and raise ram usage on the server?

frail mica Mar 1, 2020, 7:24 AM

#

It might load the files, but servers usually run -nosound param and won't "play" sounds locally

Profile related question, and I'm asking as I haven't had this issue in quite some time. Had to edit my profile name in-game to reflect a promotion within a unit, and I thought I had set the launcher up to run with the new profile, but now whenever I load with the new profile name parameter it actually 'creates' a brand new profile every time.

#

And then the new profile is then visible in the profile drop-down menu.

#

Meaning that whenever I load into the game proper, I get the new "welcome to arma" message and my menu sizing options are all screwed up.

Launcher continuously subscribes to mods that I import from a html mod pack file - nothing actually happening

It's been subscribing for about an hour now.

I've tried restarting the launcher and I've also tried restarting the PC.

I did an internet test - there's nothing wrong with the internet.

Eventually the "subscribing" message would disappear and the entire launcher would become unresponsive making that unique Windows sound when you click anywhere in the launcher.

How does one use a custom malloc now with the launcher, got it dropped in dll folder but only 3 pulldowns show up and the custom one not one of them. no rush was curious after finding one unless the large pages option basically made it redundant/obsolete in terms of using memory pages of 2048kB instead of 4.

lyric elm Apr 2, 2020, 10:59 AM

if you restart the launcher after adding it, i would expect it to auto detect it and display it

My arma 3 wont even start

#

Like i press play in steam and it trys and doesnt start

fallow lintel Apr 8, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

I recently moved my Arma 3 install folder from the C: to F: drives (onto a new M2 drive). When I try to run Arma from A3 launcher now it simply freezes such that I need to kill the program in Task manager. I am guessing a path used by Arma3Launcher was not updated but, anyway, any clues about how to fix this would be great!

frail mica Apr 8, 2020, 9:39 PM

#

how did you move it?

fallow lintel Apr 8, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

Using the move folder option in properties\local files in steam

#

I was just trying to free up space on the C: drive, a constant battle as its an older SSD

frail mica Apr 8, 2020, 9:47 PM

#

i think smth went wrong with the file moving. best would be reinstall

fallow lintel Apr 8, 2020, 9:49 PM

#

Thank you, I will give that a try and report back either way.

fallow lintel Apr 9, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

I uninstalled, deleted the steam download cache, repaired the install directory and still have the same issue .. digging deeper I guess

oak ledge Apr 9, 2020, 6:57 AM

#

checking your RPT file would likely be the first thing should be doing.. see 'why' its crashing.

fallow lintel Apr 9, 2020, 12:33 PM

#

good suggestion. I looked through everything I could find for the launcher but there are no crash logs, including appdata. I've uninstalled steam, cleaned the registry of anything steam, bohemia or arma related and am retrying

#

I am honestly not sure where else to look for arma3launcher logs. the appdata\local file has a bunch of json files but nothing reporting an error that I could see. There is a logs subdirectory but that was not informative.

oak ledge Apr 9, 2020, 12:43 PM

#

after you get everything in, see if arma itself will run directly ie. just see if it loads without issue.

fallow lintel Apr 9, 2020, 12:43 PM

#

I had this issue once before when I tried to move from one drive to another and it was corrected by returning arma to its original location.

#

Will do sycholic, thank you for the suggestion.

oak ledge Apr 9, 2020, 12:45 PM

#

C:\Users\<usernamehere>\AppData\Local\Arma 3 Launcher vs Arma 3 folder for the game itself.

fallow lintel Apr 9, 2020, 12:46 PM

#

yes I saw that and perused the files therein. More to come in a bit, and thank you again for the suggestions.

oak ledge Apr 9, 2020, 12:47 PM

#

last resort, move the folder to a zip (ie. save it but get it out of there) let arma build a new folder and configs/settings for the launcher. dont believe uninstalling even removes those.

#

if that fixes it then ya good, if not then you can put the original back...

fallow lintel Apr 9, 2020, 12:56 PM

#

There is one folder in appdata\local I missed call Bohemia_interactive with subfolders for arma3launcher and dayzLauncher. That seems to be an XML file with configuration information. The only path I see is for some mods.

oak ledge Apr 9, 2020, 1:01 PM

#

could do the same/ save-backup and force it to make it anew.. but not sure on that one the one I named looks like where all the cfg's are done.

fallow lintel Apr 9, 2020, 1:50 PM

#

The reinstall is complete. I can run arma.exe or arma_x64.exe fine. The launcher still freezes as far as I can see. More investigating to come.

Can you somehow force a loadorder for your mods on this? I'm about 80% sure one of my mods is being overwritten by the new DLC and I want to load it after everything else

zinc depot Apr 18, 2020, 2:50 PM

#

overwritten by the new DLC? unless you have something very strange in your mod it should always load after the core game

undone basalt Apr 18, 2020, 2:51 PM

#

its the only explanation I can come up with, I've exhausted almsot every other option I can think of

zinc depot Apr 18, 2020, 2:52 PM

#

it's most likely an issue in your configs, or you try to do something which isn't possible

undone basalt Apr 18, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

I can 100% believe it to be a config issue, but after over 10 hours of messing with it I can't find the cause of it, and the only signs I've found seem to point at it being overwritten by something else, and the base game is the only thing that could be doing it.

#

what other way could I set up four identical sets of code and get 3 different results, that all reset to be identical again?

zinc depot Apr 18, 2020, 2:59 PM

#

perhaps you can give a more detailed explanation of the issue you have on #arma3_config

undone basalt Apr 18, 2020, 2:59 PM

#

i already did. So is there no way to force a loadorder?

zinc depot Apr 18, 2020, 3:02 PM

#

loadorder is "forced" through requiredAddons, which is already needed to be able to get access to other addons

#

but... #arma3_config is still the best place to ask, since it has nothing to with the Launcher...

Well I think I narrowed it down but I don't want to sound accusatory. I had 6 updates in the launcher so I unsubscribed from all, cleared the cache, verified game files, and put the updated (resubscribed) one at a time until all wen in without a hitch,.....except for Unsung Golf. I post a note on Steam. I downloaded the Unsung from the torrent and of course it works that way. I just have to keep an eye on updates, which don't happen to often anyway so I'm good

I'm experiencing problems running the latest JSRS with Arma 3 Epoch and would be grateful for any help or sanity check. I've run this server and JSRS for 5 years together without any issue.
If I add the latest JSRS key to my server root keys folder, the server shows on the default arma launcher as having no dlc or, requiring any mods. So, anyone joining through the default launcher will be kicked for not running Epoch mod. If I remove the JSRS key and restart the server, then it shows the dlc and mods correctly in the launcher...
The a3launcher from maca shows the server requires epoch still, just the default arma launcher doesn't.
Also, I run 2 exile servers, they both have the same JSRS key in their root keys folder and the vanilla arma launcher shows all the required and optional mods correctly.... 😕

vestal crater Apr 28, 2020, 11:05 PM

Hello everybody,

need your help and it is about the following problem. I have a Windows server on which Arma 3 runs with mods. All ports are released, but it is not displayed in the launcher in favorites and not in the history either. So that I can see him, I have to go to the internet first and then search for him. After that it will be displayed everywhere.

Now another problem when I am in-game and looking for the server in multiplayer and the Internet, it is not shown to me at all.

Please help and thank you for that 😊

greeting

frail mica Apr 28, 2020, 11:21 PM

#

is the windows server located at your home?

vestal crater Apr 29, 2020, 10:21 AM

#

no the server is in the data center France

turbid brook Apr 29, 2020, 10:50 AM

#

Now another problem when I am in-game and looking for the server in multiplayer and the Internet, it is not shown to me at all.
The way the in-game browser finds servers is by getting all the available servers and individually checking every single one if they match your description.
Start the search for your server and leave it like that for 5 minutes (and I'm not joking!) and check if it still doesn't show up

#

Additionally, if you have a low quality router at home (as it turned out I had), pinging all the 5k servers out there may literally break your internet connection (the router stops establishing new connections after ~1k connections established).
This will result in you being unable to open a new web page, for example (so if you still can do that, it's not the problem) and will miss all the servers that the launcher wanted to check during that time.

To fix that (but only if you have that problem, obviously!) you can change the number of connections per minute in Steam settings, but then it will make the server finding take even longer

My Arma 3 workshop mods won't update or download anymore, does anyone know how to fix this issue?

All the mods have the little yellow clock saying they need to be downloaded but the download never starts. I restarted arma, the download, finished all other updates for all my games, and restarted my computer. The issue hasn't gone away.

Steam downloads says there’s an update but when i que it, it just moves back down to needing to download.

List of things I have tried already
1.Restarting computer
2.Restarting Arma
3.Clearing download cache
4.Changing download region
5.Running steam in admin
6.Verify game files
7.Moving mods cache/download location folder
8.Restarting steam
9.Repairng mod on arma 3 launcher

zinc depot Apr 30, 2020, 11:38 PM

#

Make sure Arma 3 Launcher is closed and try to start the update in Steam manually.
And make sure you have enough space for the files which need to be downloaded

tacit smelt Apr 30, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

I have 300gb of space, more than enough and i've tried that as well.

check steam logs

#

marble moat May 1, 2020, 2:36 PM

#

Simple question: is there any way to sort alphabetically the loaded/activated mods in the launcher?

#

since the "Available mods" are alphatically sorted, shouldn't be hard even to implement in some future update? I feel it could be a big QoL improvement

dusky osprey May 6, 2020, 3:51 PM

#

Great, after deleting all my mods I had downloaded to do clean up of my modlist. Then after importing all the presets I had Arma 3 stopped to download mods.

#

If I try to get it to start downloading it immediately moves back to "update needed".

#

Other downloads work I have tried to verify the gamefiles multiple times.

dusky osprey May 6, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

reinstalling the game seems to have fixed the issue.

Hey guys, I'm trying to launch my game with the four RHS mods but for some reason TFAR is launching with it as well, despite it clearly not being in the loaded mods list. Has anyone had a similar issue before?

#

I do use TFAR when playing with my group but I get kicked from this server for having it loaded. I've made sure countless times that in the Arma launcher under Mods, I only load the RHS mods

#

Yet when launching the game TFAR complains that CBA isn't loaded meaning it launches with the game, despite me not wanting it to

turbid brook Jun 28, 2020, 3:17 PM

#

Check both your MODS and also PARAMETERS tabs, in the launcher, because there is a "mods" parameter in PARAMETERS that lets you load additional mods, for example

charred pendant Jun 28, 2020, 3:18 PM

It's unchecked and the field is empty as well

Also make sure you don't have extra pbo files (like TFAR files) in Arma 3\Addons that you put there once, by mistake, and forgot about them

might be just about perfect timing for that.. or rather a week late but still soon enough

sterile moth Jul 11, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

So, I can expect something? 🙂

lyric elm Jul 11, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

i made a ticket

sterile moth Jul 11, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

Thanks!

drowsy junco Jul 12, 2020, 3:06 AM

#

you mean installing&managing branches in A3 launchers itself? 😮 😛

cursive tulip Jul 12, 2020, 8:37 AM

#

Most likely just the executables, not the branches

lyric elm Jul 12, 2020, 10:05 AM

#

platform is executable yeah

feral raven Jul 26, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

I just want to ask before raise a ticket, am I the only one who wanted to see an option to launch diag exe in Launcher > Parameters > Platform? Without Launcher, it's kinda hard to write settings into my bat file to launch diag exe
yes, I needed this on several occasions, and always had to recall how to write the commandline 😦

#

I think it's only thing missing from launcher at this point 🙂

feral raven Jul 27, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

Has the width of mod list scroll bar ever bothered anyone besides me? It looks way too narrow to me.

#

Always hard to hit it.

zinc depot Jul 27, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

never noticed it... I either use my scroll wheel or use the search function 🤷‍♂️

feral raven Jul 27, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

Sometimes when I try to connect to my server through launcher, the game doesn't start and the launcher just closes itself. Is there a log somewhere I can see to check what's going on?

turbid brook Jul 27, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

%appdata%\Local\Arma 3 Launcher\Logs @feral raven

feral raven Jul 27, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

ok Ill see there when it happens again, thx

feral raven Jul 27, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

There is no such folder @turbid brook 😦

turbid brook Jul 27, 2020, 9:06 PM

#

Uuuh... well there is one on my computer 😄

fossil roost Jul 27, 2020, 9:53 PM

#

When I try to open the launcher and click play it loads but then stops. I’ve uninstalled arma 3 and reinstalled it. I’ve restarted my computer and some other things. I only have a play time of 2 hours and I don’t know what the problem is. Can anyone help?

turbid brook Jul 27, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

@feral raven are you sure you're looking into Local? Because Afair windows takes you to Roaming when you type %appdata%

feral raven Jul 27, 2020, 11:12 PM

#

Yeah I can see the file now, thanks

#

hate those windows folders

trim needle Jul 28, 2020, 2:51 AM

maybe it's better off in this channel?
I have an issue with my launcher that I can't figure out. Every time I open the launcher, it defaults to old setings and a previous set of mods I haven't used in a while. nothing is saved, there is no persistence, it always reverts to old parameters and mods. I've tried everything I can think of, and not even the more experienced people in my other discord are able to help. I've tried reinstalling Arma, verifying game files, changing settings, deleted the Launcher fold in the Arma directory, and I can't think of anything else.

stiff plover Jul 28, 2020, 2:46 PM

#

i need help ;-; whenever i try to launch the game its always telling me the status_dll wasnt found

#

and i dont know what to do

trim needle Jul 28, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

have you verified the game files?

stiff plover Jul 28, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

yeah i have

trim needle Jul 28, 2020, 2:50 PM

#

I'm guessing it didn't find any missing files?

stiff plover Jul 28, 2020, 2:50 PM

#

no, i tried everything on the wiki and it still doesnt work 😦

trim needle Jul 28, 2020, 2:51 PM

hmmm

What exactly is your error?

i tried all of those things and it still won't work

sterile moth Jul 28, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

Did you reinstall DirectX or something, and relaunch your computer?

stiff plover Jul 28, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

i did reinstall it but haven't relaunched my computer yet

sterile moth Jul 28, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

Better try before proceed I guess

stiff plover Jul 28, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

yeah, it says i have DirectX12, is that suitable to run it?

sterile moth Jul 28, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

I think Arma 3 had DX11 IIRC?

stiff plover Jul 28, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

so that's the problem then?

zinc depot Jul 28, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

it's backwards compatible

stiff plover Jul 28, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

Ohh ok, well I’m restating my computer now

zinc depot Jul 28, 2020, 2:57 PM

#

but after installing any drivers you are required to restart your computer, otherwise files won't be loaded and can't be accessed.

stiff plover Jul 28, 2020, 2:57 PM

#

So after restarting it should work just fine?

sterile moth Jul 28, 2020, 2:57 PM

#

Maybe

stiff plover Jul 28, 2020, 2:58 PM

#

I hope so lol, I’ve been working on this for a week ;-;

#

nope

#

same problem still

sterile moth Jul 28, 2020, 3:03 PM

#

Damn. Did you do every suggested solution for sure?

stiff plover Jul 28, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

yeah i did

#

i can try screen sharing if that would show anything?

fossil roost Jul 28, 2020, 11:41 PM

#

i need help with my launcher. its pretty detailed and so far no one knows how to fix my problem. when i load arma 3 the loading screen get stucks and wont load. so im wondering if anyone can add me so i can get in a call with them and explain a little further.

sterile moth Jul 29, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

One don't need to add to explain further

fossil roost Jul 29, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

ok well i have no idea what to do

#

and i just wanna get arma fixed so i didnt waste $43

sterile moth Jul 29, 2020, 1:19 AM

#

Do these posts explained further?

fossil roost Jul 29, 2020, 1:20 AM

#

eh sort of it gives just the main problem

#

but if i joined in a call i could give details on what happened prior to see if that had to do with my arma messing up

zinc depot Jul 29, 2020, 1:23 AM

#

Well, posting the RPT file (error log) would give us a lot of info already.
And a couple of standard questions you should be able to answer:

do you get an error message?
does it also happen without mods loading?
did you Verify Game File Integrity in Steam?
are all drivers (GPU, etc.) up-to-date?

frail mica Jul 29, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

do you have at least Visual Studio 2013 (VC++ 12.0) installed?

fossil roost Jul 29, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

well only when i click on the launcher after it not loading i do im not sure if it would be a error message.

#

2.i dont have any mods installed

#

3.yes

#

4.yes i just got this pc 2 weeks ago

#

no

#

i have an exit code. does that mean anything?

zinc depot Jul 29, 2020, 1:27 AM

#

yes, a lot

this is my first pc ever and i just got it 2 weeks ago so im learning sorry about that

frail mica Jul 29, 2020, 1:40 AM

#

might or might not work...:
close the launcher
close steam
go to you documents folder
back up the arma 3 folder
after backup, go into the arma 3 folder
delete <yourname>.vars.Arma3.Profile
restart the game

fossil roost Jul 29, 2020, 1:41 AM

#

ok let me try

frail mica Jul 29, 2020, 1:53 AM

#

@fossil roost
any news?

fossil roost Jul 29, 2020, 1:53 AM

#

still backing up

#

i didnt work

#

it still says the same error code

frail mica Jul 29, 2020, 2:00 AM

#

did you ever alter any launcher parameters?

fossil roost Jul 29, 2020, 2:01 AM

#

not that i can remember. in game my name was something i didnt want it to be so i made a new profile or something like that

frail mica Jul 29, 2020, 2:04 AM

#

well... my last idea...
uninstall arma. delete all leftovers manually, like ..\documents\arma 3
and
C:\Users\<yourname>\AppData\Local\Arma 3

#

then reinstall the game

#

btw, what are your PC specs?
(CPU, RAM, GPU)

fossil roost Jul 29, 2020, 2:16 AM

#

for cpu i have a Intel(r) core(TM) i7-8700 cpu @ g 20GHz

#

gpu i have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050

#

installed ram i have 16GB

#

sorry it took a while

frail mica Jul 29, 2020, 2:18 AM

#

ok... just wanted to make sure your hardware can even run arma. yes, it does

#

as said before, a fresh install is my last idea

fossil roost Jul 29, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

ok wish me luck

#

does this have to do anything with my problem?

frail mica Jul 29, 2020, 2:23 AM

#

maybe. click on the more details button and make a new screenshot

fossil roost Jul 29, 2020, 2:23 AM

#

ok

#

its grey and nothing is coming up

frail mica Jul 29, 2020, 2:25 AM

#

open task manager and see if any arma related tasks are running

fossil roost Jul 29, 2020, 2:25 AM

#

only discord and steam client

frail mica Jul 29, 2020, 2:26 AM

#

restart your PC and keep deleting

fossil roost Jul 29, 2020, 2:26 AM

#

ok

#

ok i was able to delete it

rugged wolf Jul 29, 2020, 11:28 AM

He mentioned in 5) that Visual C++ 2013 redistributables are not installed. Which is prerequisite. And a new install of the pc likely doesn't have it yet. So go and install this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784

fossil roost Jul 29, 2020, 11:59 AM

#

Ok thanks

fossil roost Jul 29, 2020, 12:15 PM

#

Which one should I download?

sterile moth Jul 29, 2020, 12:17 PM

#

Just click Download?

fossil roost Jul 29, 2020, 12:25 PM

#

But it gives me 3 options

sterile moth Jul 29, 2020, 12:26 PM

#

Depends on your OS, 64 bit or 32 bit?

lyric elm Jul 29, 2020, 12:59 PM

#

64bit if you run 64bit arma which you should nowadays

turbid brook Jul 29, 2020, 1:10 PM

#

Aren't these redistributables installed automatically when installing Arma or BattlEye? 🤔

#

I remember that something was being additionally installed

lyric elm Jul 29, 2020, 1:11 PM

#

when you launch arma on steam they should be

#

but for whatever reason it doesn't work for some people

fossil roost Jul 29, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

well i downloaded it and it still didnt work. but thanks for helping everyone.

feral raven Jul 29, 2020, 2:35 PM

#

How does launcher choose which mod to suggest to be loaded? By meta.cpp or by what exactly?

#

I have main and dev builds of my mod and for my server it always suggests the main branch mod although it is running the dev branch

#

Both are at workshop

zinc depot Jul 29, 2020, 2:36 PM

#

it checks the -mod parameter (required) and available keys (optional) on the server (afaik)

#

not sure how it detects the version, should be meta.cpp, but I'm not sure

turbid brook Jul 29, 2020, 2:42 PM

#

Not sure if I understood correctly but try signing the dev and main version with different keys @feral raven

feral raven Jul 29, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

they have different keys (generated at each build by CI)

#

they have same meta.cpp pointing to main branch for both though... because I made it manually.

#

that's why I ask 🙂

turbid brook Jul 29, 2020, 2:45 PM

#

Just to be extra sure: your key file name is different, not only the contents of the file, right?

zinc depot Jul 29, 2020, 2:46 PM

#

meta.cpp connects the mod to the workshop, so if you have the dev version pointing to the stable version on steam, the Launcher will always display the stable version

feral raven Jul 29, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

meta.cpp connects the mod to the workshop, so if you have the dev version pointing to the stable version on steam, the Launcher will always display the stable version
Ok, that's what I wanted to confirm, thanks

rugged wolf Aug 2, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

well i downloaded it and it still didnt work. but thanks for helping everyone.
@fossil roost Well, you also need to execute it. Make sure it is in the installed Apps and Features (Windows 8/10 settings) or Programs and Features in the Control Panel.

fossil roost Aug 2, 2020, 2:20 PM

#

what do you mean by execute?

turbid brook Aug 2, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

Ummmm... He means you should run the installer you downloaded 😜

broken shard Aug 2, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

👀 he clearly he means that you should put the installer in front of a firing squad for not working (/s)
