#

hey everyone, I hope someone is able to help me

the arma launcher no longer saves settings, or modsets. it always resets back to a previous 'save' from about a month ago. I can change which mods are loaded, and i can change the background and all that, but when I restart the launcher, it goes back to before I changed anything

#

I've reinstalled, verified, deleted certain launcher files, and a few other things, but nothing has worked so far

drowsy junco Aug 16, 2020, 12:38 PM

check the logs at C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Arma 3 Launcher
rename the folder and launch it again

@woven tendon you need to upload and link the rpt log file for the whole error context
or better upload all the crash logs via Arma 3 launcher option to Arma 3 feedback tracker

wraith monolith Sep 5, 2020, 10:18 PM

Question: Has anyone made a suggestion/feature request for the Arma 3 Launcher to allow the downloading/syncronising of community hosted mods as well as local/steam workshop mods?

This would mean people wouldn't have to download all these 3rd party launchers, and bring the whole modded experience more inline with the base game's user experience.

Steam Workshop is great! But it doesn't offer version selection like npm does (discord.js@11.5.1), plus there's the licensing issue that isn't an issue otherwise when uploaded to private servers. As far as I understand it, a launcher that downloads from a private repo wouldn't have a licensing issue for merely downloading the mods.

lyric elm Sep 5, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

Haven't read one. And won't happen

wraith monolith Sep 5, 2020, 10:20 PM

#

You seem awfully certain about that, mind elaborating as to why not?

frail mica Sep 5, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

plus there's the licensing issue
what issue...?

wraith monolith Sep 5, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

Re-upload of a mod isn't allowed on Steam Workshop even if the mod's licence does allow it, or am I understanding that wrong?

frail mica Sep 5, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

that's no issue

#

that's well in the rights of steam to have a legal ground on their end

#

because the original creator must grant valve certain rights that only the original creator can grant

wraith monolith Sep 5, 2020, 10:23 PM

#

I'm not having a jab at Steam Workshop

zinc depot Sep 5, 2020, 10:23 PM

Because I would probably have to implement that, and I won't.

Although, Steam Workshop has a new feature "Visibility: Unlisted" which allows you to create a community HTML linking to a mod on the workshop which isn't publicly visible (unless you know the URL)

frail mica Sep 5, 2020, 10:26 PM

#

but can't be synced with the launcher iirc

wraith monolith Sep 5, 2020, 10:26 PM

That... I had not seen

zinc depot Sep 5, 2020, 10:26 PM

#

I have a mod on the workshop which is unlisted and works perfectly fine in the Launcher (including updates)

frail mica Sep 5, 2020, 10:27 PM

#

oh, that's nice

zinc depot Sep 5, 2020, 10:27 PM

#

even stuff like dependencies work; the only difference with 'public' is that you can't find it when searching the Workshop

#

totally passed me unnoticed

wraith monolith Sep 5, 2020, 10:28 PM

#

Huh.. I didn't see that there a few weeks ago. When was it implemented?

zinc depot Sep 5, 2020, 10:28 PM

#

only noticed it last week, and is actually a brand new feature

#

I believe 1-2 weeks ago 😉

#

even the Workshop SDK hasn't been updated yet

wraith monolith Sep 5, 2020, 10:29 PM

Well, that definitely is a cool feature, and saves on the "friend this account and I can give you access to our framework mod issue"

You're talking about private/unlisted mods and what I'm sorely missing is One. Single. Thing: automatically installing the TFAR plugin for TeamSpeak after you download the Arma mod.

You'll be surprised how complicated that is for randoms, on open servers 🤦‍♂️

Not sure if that will actually help, but I had the same issue once and what solved it was... rebooting my computer. Yup! Just that.

broken shard Sep 19, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

Btw I've had a question about the launcher for a while, why are there 2 different ways to export a preset and why do they do different things ConfusedDog ?

#

I mean you either export a list which you have to import through the import button or you export a preset which you can just export by dragging it into the launcher

#

Wouldnt it make sense to unify both export buttons to be preset exports? Or is there some hidden functionality of lists that I dont know?

zinc depot Sep 19, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

There are 2 export buttons? I only know the HTML export one, which you can either import or drag&drop

broken shard Sep 19, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

yeah @zinc depot you can either go to
More -> Export modlist to file
or
Presets -> button with round icons next to preset

#

In the mods page of the launcher

zinc depot Sep 19, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

which both output the same HTML file; only difference is that the name isn't stored

broken shard Sep 19, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

which both output the same HTML file; only difference is that the name isn't stored
Nope, I just tested it again and the html file you get when you go through More doesnt auto import the preset when you drag it into the launcher

zinc depot Sep 19, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

for me both didn't 🤷‍♂️ but that could be the preset I exported

broken shard Sep 19, 2020, 10:14 PM

#

Also the header for the two is different
the first one exported through More is defined as a list

<head>
    <meta name="arma:Type" content="list" />
    <meta name="generator" content="Arma 3 Launcher - https://arma3.com" />
    <title>Arma 3</title>
    <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <style>

and the one exported through the icon is identified as a preset

<head>
    <meta name="arma:Type" content="preset" />
    <meta name="arma:PresetName" content="Bebop Fallout" />
    <meta name="generator" content="Arma 3 Launcher - https://arma3.com" />
    <title>Arma 3</title>
    <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <style>

#

Also the preset has the name in the list which is used during the auto import

zinc depot Sep 19, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

ahh, I see... exporting from the Preset dropdown (with proper name) will export the preset, saves it and subscribes to mods not existing yet.
Exporting from "more" will only export the mod list and only subscribe to mods not existing; not making a preset.

#

makes sense in a way

broken shard Sep 19, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

Yep

#

I'm not quite sure what the reasoning for having 2 different ones is

zinc depot Sep 19, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

one word: Arma

broken shard Sep 19, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

heh

#

maybe

#

But ye I'd personally be for making both a preset so my unit finally stops exporting them as a list AwooAngry

zinc depot Sep 19, 2020, 10:17 PM

#

or teach them how to export properly 🤣

#

or like my unit; have a website where you can download different presets per mission, automatically generated depending on mission settings 😉

broken shard Sep 19, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

jeez look at mister fancy over here

#

I might throw up a feedback tracker ticket later with the list vs preset thing

#

I don't think it's a bug though...

#

Shrug there's feature request tickets on the feedback tracker too

broken shard Sep 20, 2020, 3:01 PM

#

Btw I looked around the launcher a bit more and I havent found a reason for the list vs preset distinction yet

zinc depot Sep 20, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

share preset for specific missions
share list for general mods

I can see the use for both.

Just idea for the launcher, it would be great if it also could generate dedicated server configurations. There is a number of community-made tools, all with something broken. 🤪

#

While the launcher looks like a good starting point to have this implemented. Since it already has more than half of that, and has good UI.

#

Although unfortunately it will impact maybe only 10% of people who have had to do anything with dedicated server, since all those other hosting services have their own control panel.

zinc depot Sep 27, 2020, 9:55 AM

#

Well, that 10% actually know what they're doing (or should be). So could technically do everything without any tools...

#

And yes, IT people are lazy people, but for those the current tools do their jobs.

feral raven Sep 27, 2020, 11:25 AM

#

No, there are people which are not very IT people, they want to start a DS server on their own, and they have to navigate through some problems with community tools. I'd say it would be very nice if launcher could also launch dedicated server.

solar sentinel Sep 28, 2020, 6:47 AM

#

I work in IT and recently set up my own dedicated server for bunch of mates to play on. And I think majority of community is so well versed on all aspects of how things work that they dont fully appreciate how much Black magic there is involved for the new folk.
It has been an absolutely painful process drudging through poor and outdated documentation.
While scouring the forums for obscure information and possible tips on where to find the mods, logs, profiles etc.

If you have improvements for the dedicated server guide on wiki, drop it in #community_wiki and it will be added

Yeah the wiki is outdated and poor in places, but somehow most people seem to think that they have no say in the COMMUNITY wiki, and no hope to fix it and just keep complaining about it instead of helping to fix it

So I am still not getting a mod (Project Legacy -Server Edition) to show as "required" in the server launcher. Players are having to manually load this mod to be able to join. Some of you tried helping a few days ago but I still need help with this issue. I am seeing a lot of players trying to join and are not able to since they do not know to manually load this mod.

@simple surge
put the key files from that mod to your server key folder. then add
verifySignatures = 2;
to your server config
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.cfg#Arma_server_only

server.cfg

simple surge Oct 18, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

I have done that. I have even resigned with new key and re-uploaded to steam to see if maybe the key was bad but still no luck

simple surge Oct 18, 2020, 3:52 PM

#

Ok so did some more troubleshooting. I added a new mod to the server and it shows up correctly as required. So I then decided to upload the mod as a new mod and then tried adding it again to the server with new key. I am still getting the same issue I was getting with the old version. I am wondering if I am uploading the mod wrong or am doing something else wrong with the mod. I have been using this mod for years now with no issues. Wasnt until the last update I did a few weeks ago that I have had an issue

drowsy junco Oct 18, 2020, 3:54 PM

#

@simple surge which mod?

turbid brook Oct 18, 2020, 3:54 PM

#

Project Legacy -Server Edition

#

I have already checked that it correctly shows up in the mods list in the network packets (a2s_info) and the signatures seem to be correct (unless I messed up sth 😄 ) @drowsy junco

simple surge Oct 18, 2020, 3:56 PM

#

i didnt think it was something that i did when i updated it. it is just so weird that it does not show as "required"

turbid brook Oct 18, 2020, 3:57 PM

#

Plot twist: you ended up on some secret BI blacklist so the A3 launcher ignores the mod 😉

simple surge Oct 18, 2020, 3:59 PM

#

just my luck

#

This is a server side mod and my server depends on it so it can not be taken out

#

i am having a buddy publish it and see if its maybe my arma 3 tools

drowsy junco Oct 18, 2020, 4:16 PM

if you use old pbopackers, they can cause signatures not to work

#

So even with my friend publishing the mod under his account, it still shows up as suggested. This causing so many new players from being able to join. I have been running servers for over 3 years and this is the first I have seen of a mod that is listed as required to show up as suggeated

lyric elm Oct 19, 2020, 6:35 AM

#

Ah

#

Maybe it needs to be listed in the mods required for the mission you're running

drowsy junco Oct 19, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

@simple surge is the unit/asset placed in Eden or only created via script?

simple surge Oct 19, 2020, 10:02 PM

#

@lyric elm I didnt even think about that, will have to try

vivid lava Oct 21, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

Would it be possible to add an option or default the the launcher so that on the server join menu the Suggested and additional mods are above the Content required by the server

It's more likely people will adjust the optional than what is required and new people seem to be unaware it exists having never scrolled to the bottom.

Apologies if this is the wrong channel for a bit of feedback/suggestion i did a quick check over all the channels and couldn't find one that matched.

spice zodiac Oct 25, 2020, 9:47 PM

any plans for a "repair all" button to repair all mods

Not sure if that really makes sense. I think if you verify game files via steam, itll also verify all mods?

I think if you verify game files via steam, itll also verify all mods?

i thing with automatic updates by me.. (without workshop udpates..)

zinc depot Oct 27, 2020, 2:27 AM

#

I use the launcher all the time, including on my own projects which only exist locally. And those are "updated" manually on my local machine.
It's even possible to add local mods which are updated though A3Sync or other tools, so I don't see a real problem there.

ashen heath Oct 27, 2020, 2:39 AM

^ Good spot
You can tell the launcher what folder to watch per say and that could be a a3sync one or anything

Try to run what through Steam? Just click Play of Arma 3 in your library?

I'm guessing that maybe your .net installation is messed up? It's that or something is wrong with the launcher itself. But if it's the second part, then someone else should step in and help you with this.
Otherwise, I suggest googling the error message (the one with "Startup" in the contents)

@earnest wing i've seen that you've already refunded, but just so you know:

Otherwise, I suggest googling the error message (the one with "Startup" in the contents)
For the record, I googled it myself (I'm too curious, I guess... ¯_(ツ)_/¯) and almost all the reasonable answers to that issue, that I saw, mentioned a possible issue with the installed .NET Framework. Looks like there is even a ".NET Framework Repair tool" - you could use that.

Anyway, the bottom line is: if you had corrupted Launcher configuration files AND a possibly corrupted .NET installation, I'd suggest checking if your hard drive isn't starting to fail (and you're about to lose those sweet photos from a year ago 😉 ) so consider checking it and maybe replacing your disk, in the near future

Ask Valve, since Arma doesn't care about that.
It's a Steam issue which invalidates mods and triggers a redownload.

you can drag and drop the mods in that list to sort them in what order they are loaded

lean gulch Nov 23, 2020, 8:33 AM

Problem is, with mod dependencies. Like when I load ace, it immediately wants me to load CBA too. I can ignore and load by hand later, but this is not too user friendly.

To have the loaded mods sorted. It is not that important. Just thought, there was a possibility to sort the loaded list somehow.

frail mica Nov 23, 2020, 9:33 AM

as is said, the loaded mods list resembles the order in which the mods are loaded by the game. this was and might still be crucial to this date for some mods

it doesnt even import the mods themself

so now i have to manually pick each one out...

anybody know what might be causing this, or even how to fix it?

My friend just installed Arma, when clicking play in the launcher he gets a crash, error 0x00000035. He can launch the game exe from the steam folder, and this is a fresh install

#

Does this look familiar to someone? We already tried simple things like reboot and Steam file integrity

try checking the logs in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Arma 3 Launcher\Logs

There is nothing there

Again it generates the 0x00000035 error the logs indicate [ INFO] 16: GameExecutor: Game exited (with exit code: 53)

#

“also done: cache validation, reboot steam in every step, force admin rights to everything involved A3, try winsock clear again, disable any firewall or shit related to that altogether (this one stopped generating browser seizure in logs but 0x00000035 once again), close anything related to GPU, have nothing else but Steam running”

[Solved] Arma 3 won't start.

Hey there... So there I sat in front of my computer, happy that work has ended and I can play some Arma. But Arma was not convinced of this idea and just wont start... When I try to start the game in Steam the ARMA 3 Launcher opens and I can set the mods, etc. Of course I restored all the default...

celest verge Dec 23, 2020, 4:08 PM

#

We tried pretty much everything from the list above, but it didn’t work

#

Also reinstalled VC Redist and tried another drive

#

Tried every Admin combination, eg Steam as admin game without, other way around, both not, etc

#

Since the reinstall the game claims Steam is not running while it is when tried to launch by exe

#

Via launcher it always gives the 0x00000035 error + GameExecutor: Game exited (with exit code: 53) in logs

#

It also logs the below message, sometimes a lot of the same

http://prntscr.com/we1hw4 I'm confused. If the dependencies aren't taken from the Steam Workshop... where are they taken from? I removed Achilles as a dependency a month or two ago, and realised just now that the launcher doesn't see it that way....

zinc depot Jan 1, 2021, 8:32 AM

#

perhaps a dependency of a dependency?

#

and after doing a short search I found out that 2BNB-Extras has a dependency for [FOX] Suicide Bomber, which has Achilles as a dependency; which causes issues on your end now

frail mica Jan 1, 2021, 8:36 AM

#

dependencies are primarily defined in the requiredAddons[] array of the mods CfgPatches class inside the config.cpp
@wraith monolith

#

so even if the dependency is removed from the workshop, the mod itself that builds the requirement must be edited also

wraith monolith Jan 1, 2021, 8:37 AM

#

zinc depot and after doing a short search I found out that 2BNB-Extras has a dependency for...

You're right, but I wasn't aware the launcher does that? I thought it just grabs the immediate dependencies and basta

zinc depot Jan 1, 2021, 8:37 AM

#

the launcher only checks Steam Workshop, while the game itself only checks the configs

wraith monolith Jan 1, 2021, 8:37 AM

#

^^^^

#

That's what I understood also

#

Which is why you can have no dependencies listed in workshop, but then when loading the game it'll have the popup saying that an addon is required but not found

#

If it's listed in requiredAddons[]

zinc depot Jan 1, 2021, 8:38 AM

#

usually it breaks the game though 😉

#

But again; the problem is [FOX] Suicide Bomber which is a dependency (both on the workshop and configs) for 2BNB Extras, which has Achilles as a dependency.
So the launcher will see Achilles as a dependency as well

#

btw... I saw the github repo's and noticed the music addon... be VERY careful with that, because you don't own that music (breaking copyright laws and Steam Workshop EULA)

wraith monolith Jan 1, 2021, 8:59 AM

#

zinc depot usually it breaks the game though 😉

Well yes, true, but point still stands

#

Also, you were right about the deep dependency crawling that the launcher does. I removed Suicide Bomber and Achilles also disappeared. Fascinating, I didn't think the devs would go this in depth with it, since it's fair to assume that whenever the immediate dependency is loaded, but missing IT'S dependency... then surely the launcher could just leave it up to the check relating to that second dependency set.
Instead, the launcher compiles the whole dependency tree. Pretty cool stuff really. Thanks for the insight

Popular belief is that ArmA is simply an acronym of Armed Assault. It's in fact true as that is how the name really started with the release of Arma : Armed Assault in Europe. However, it picked up its own independent life already with the release of Arma: Combat Operations in North America.

Hi everyone, I have a issue, everytime I try to log into this one specific server, it always starts the loading screen, and then right as it should be transitioning to the actual game launcher, with the server loading in full screen, it ends up stopping entirely. I've tried redownloading the mod pack used by the server several times, I've tried direct connecting, I've double checked with the server host several times, and asked him to help me several times (but the dick says "did you refer to google before asking me")

I just need help connecting to this damn server basically, and its making me stressed everytime i try and it doesnt work.

i can get into other servers just fine.

inland parcel Jan 26, 2021, 8:43 PM

Is there any way to force a mod loader in the launcher? It constantly throws CUP mods to the back of the line which pushes forward some old maps which in turn brakes things

#

It's funny since it's not even consistent from what I can tell. If I put CUP first, then launch the game it, sometimes, moves them. Do it the same thing again and it leaves them alone where I put them.

hollow urchin Jan 29, 2021, 3:41 AM

#

Does it matter for mod positioning?

sterile moth Jan 29, 2021, 3:42 AM

#

Sometimes. If they had same order to load (not launcher order but defined in MOD's config) it does

zinc depot Feb 2, 2021, 3:21 PM

#

Back in the Arma 2 days it did matter in which mods were loaded; now it's mostly handled through proper dependency handling (if the mods were build correctly).

#

The Workshop has a dependency list which gets used by the launcher (aka; which mods must also be loaded), and if this isn't setup correctly stuff will break.
And mods themselves have dependencies which will ensure that other mods (or actually addons) are loaded before them, so ensure that stuff doesn't break.

azure mango Feb 2, 2021, 7:53 PM

turbid brook Feb 10, 2021, 2:39 PM

#

Too bad there is no way automatically contact the server owner. Maybe logging sth to the .rpt would be a good start?
Like if Arma truncates the mod list/signatures list it logs a message to the rpt informing the owner that the list has been truncated and some people may not be able to join, and they should change <insertVariableName here> to remedy the situation.

Maybe this could be a step in the right direction?

drowsy junco Feb 10, 2021, 2:42 PM

for arma/the ingame server browser it logs the warning to rpt, but not the server name/ip (also the message is quite cryptic to the average guy)

turbid brook Feb 11, 2021, 12:11 PM

#

Or maybe, since you stated the problem (data overflow), continue with a proposed solution: "Remove unused mods or change your server configuration to allow for more data to be sent"?

It's vague enough that you can change or add further config options and the admin will at least know that it's something that's configurable so they may start googling the problem

drowsy junco Feb 11, 2021, 1:07 PM

#

Too much Mod/Signature data - Steam cannot transfer the full list and thus client mod sync won't work. Tweak steamProtocolMaxDataSize parameter in server.cfg.

on the client rpt, it should say which server is affected (name + ip:port)

"client mod sync" may not be obvious what it is

Actually this part will be understood 😉

My point is it's better to have something in plain English, even if it's not fully understood by the user (yes!) than a message that sounds too technical and will simply be ignored

#

"Arma clients won't be able to join your server because potatoes not planted" will make the admin investigate and google about these potatoes.

Based on https://dev.arma3.com/ports, the native linux version is 1.82.
Out of all the servers running right now (5517) there are only four (4) servers running that version. FYI: You can only play on servers that have the same version as your client.
Two of these are passworded. One is in the 'Selecting mission' state (so you can't play either). This leaves you with literally one Exile server your linux non-proton client can connect to.

And no, I didn't make these numbers up

lyric elm Feb 27, 2021, 1:27 PM

We should just remove the native linux port, so that steam defaults to proton 🙃

#

Check the Internet Connection maybe?

#

i did. it times out across the board. the launcher, the browser, and i even just tried to go to the units.arma3.com or whatever site through my virtual box. it too timed out

turbid brook Mar 7, 2021, 5:41 PM

#

http://units.arma3.com/ works for me although after a very long time (over 60 seconds)

#

So I'm guessing that whatever tries to open the page or access the API (if there is one) times out at 60 seconds, just before the page renders itself

#

Actually, it awfully looks like the units page is trying to fetch something and it stalls for exactly 60 seconds, times out on that thing, gives up and continues rendering the page without it and does that in one second, totaling 61 seconds.

It seems to be doing that consistently, each time I refresh the page, because it always takes just a tiny bit over one minute.
No idea where to report that. @lyric elm ?

Because the feedback tracker is probably for another bug category?

Q: lately we've been noticing a lot of issues with the Launcher/Workshop not updating mods automatically anymore, causing downtime and unneeded support before we can start our missions.
Is this something only caused by the terrible Workshop API, or is there something that can be done in the launcher?

Do note that it has nothing to do with not being able to retrieve the modlist from a server, since we always use presets within our community.
At the moment the only workaround is by manually repairing each mod in the list before a mission to ensure everything works 🤦‍♂️

Profiling branch:

special profiling Steam branch for Arma 3 following this wiki page :

In short :

Right click on Arma 3 in your Steam Library, then Properties

Select the tab BETAS

Enter the code CautionSpecialProfilingAndTestingBranchArma3 then click CHECK CODE

Finally, still in this BETAS tab, use the dropdown list to select the branch profiling - Performance Profiling Build

@lyric elm well, the jury's still out on that. I was running with ASP yesterday before the update and it was just fine. now the update deployed, and apparently with ASP in the mix, I get a crash.

its a bug in sqf-assembly

https://github.com/dedmen/SQF-Assembly/blob/master/src/BytecodeLoader.cpp#L419 That line is the crash

Hotfix would be to run your arma with -sqfasm-no-sqfc start parameter

next stupid question, where do I set custom command line options? I'm not seeing it, in the launcher, or through Steam...

I think launcher doesn't let you.
Steam right-click Arma 3 -> properties.
Then at the bottom you have launch options

Can we get a "delete mod files" option for the launcher ? Since steam causes so many problems when not updating the mod properly and people struggle to delete the files manually because they always delete the mod folder link instead of the files. Same thing if you use repair, doesn't update properly. So we have many users that ask us for help notlikemeow
That would make things a bit easier.

inb4 bad Bohemia! Their launcher used my symlink that I have manually modified (even thought I should not have had) and deleted my whole drive! Reeeeeeeeee!

#

Been there, done that (I've created my own launcher) 🤷‍♂️

I've even included a patronizing message in case someone would do something reeeeeeeeally stupid, resulting in them deleting their whole Arma installation because of not reading the instructions correctly. (the message was displayed instead of deleting the directory, obviously)

It's sad how many times people came back to me with "I got this message that says <<(...) Seriously, think twice, next time!>>, what should I do?" 🤦‍♂️

You could only delete the .pbo and .bisign linked to that mod in the launcher. Worst case it deletes all your mods 🤔

Mods contain more than one pbo 😉

#

They contain directories, etc

dense saffron Jun 23, 2021, 9:00 PM

Yea but most of the problems are due not deleted/updated .pbo's

I have a problem with ARMA or I think it is the launcher. It seems there is a limit to the number of mods the launcher can show or profile? I have over 8000 directories in my !workshop folder. Example. I had subscribed to CBA a long time ago. but it does not show up anymore. If I add it manually, it shows up. But IF I unsubscribe it, it seems to let me d/l a more recently subscribed mod. Like there is a mod limit and new subscriptions sit waiting to be downloaded and listed inside the launcher.. The main problem is that when I launch a game, the Steam client is trying to download and process all these mods, but the !workshop folder never creates the new links. But the folders or mods are physically being downloaded into the HD at the 107410 workshop folder, HD space allowing.

#

The worst thing is during an active game, the steam client is "updating" with the greenline, not downloading anything, like its trying to write something but never completing it. Or is this a Windows 7 file system issue with a limit on directories or symbolic links in the !workshop folder? One fix is for me unsub EVERYTHING, but then I have to redownload all the mods or missions again which I do not want to do.

#

It creates a hitching interupt in game, if online, this is extremely annoying and takes about 10-15 mins to stop. After that, the game runs smooth but I have no idea what the launcher is actually trying to do.

#

I know it is workshop related. Like a mod limit inside the launcher app itself. If i run Steam OFFLINE, the launcher will not create the hitching or drive writing. But the oldest subscribed mods disappears from the launcher itself same, as before.

#

If I close the launcher, it still goes through the workshop mod "update" or "write" process until it stops. If I PAUSE steamworkshop downloads , then it stops. Appears to be an updating loop that never ends due to too many subscribed mods?

lyric elm Jul 21, 2021, 11:31 AM

#

There might be a limit, but no deliberate one.
pretty sure noone in QA tested running 8000 mods

#

neither Bohemia QA nor Valve QA 😄

rugged cobalt Jul 21, 2021, 11:32 AM

#

What should I do? I really don't want to lose or re-download all those mods! I tried to see if I can manually show all the mods and the launcher shows a cut off at 30xx listings if I point the launcher manually into the 107410 workshop folder.

#

It would be nice to have a filter in the launcher to separate mods from missions / campaigns or sort only those mods that are updating or has errors or missing another mod for example.

Hello Dedmen and BIS, just checking if anyone will be looking into issue? I see Steam is downloading a TON of workshop updates. It is sitting on my HD in the workshop downloads folder, but not moved into the !Workshop folder yet. But, If I RUN the launcher, Steam DELETES all of the mods, and starts to download the updates again, but never really updates the list within the launcher or the !workshop folder. So I am stuck for now unable to play ARMA or fall into the forever workshop mod update loop and wearing out my SSD. Please advise if there is a possible timeline for a fix! Thanks!

Quick question, Is steam bugging out and attempting to re-download existing mods?
