Our community is having issues with the same and I was chasing a rumor that only other communities having the issue were on Hetzner servers.

Yes that also seems to be a trend with people reporting the problem to me. Something with hetzner and routing via DTAG.

I couldn't reproduce the issue on my Server.

2.02.147447 new PROFILING branch with PERFORMANCE binaries, v5, server and client, windows 32/64-bit, linux server 32/64-bit

 - Added: Audio option to configure the volume reduction on the map screen while inside vehicles

 - Added: _local parameter to all marker Event Handlers

 - Added: "affectedByWind" CfgAmmo entry for flares to let them be affected by wind speed (off by default)

 - Tweaked: Experimental FPS improvement in areas with many objects and active particle effects

 - Fixed: Player names not showing when hovering over map markers

 - Fixed: CfgFunctions not found error in Eden Editor - FT-T154708

 - Fixed: Game option changes were not always saving into the user profile

 - Fixed: When using deadzone, the aim would sometimes autocenter when zoomed - FT-T119242

 - Fixed: Units that were assigned to a custom channel would not delete properly - https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/232760-ghost-objects/?tab=comments#comment-3430900

 - Fixed: Issues when trying to drag uniforms/vests from a dead body into a backpack container

 

 

Notes:

  • Please provide feedback on the map screen volume reduction. It's limited to a 25-100% range and only works while inside vehicles.
  • Please run benchmarks and compare FPS of profiling v4 to profiling v5 and see what effect this experimental improvement has.
  • You can now properly take uniforms from dead bodies and put them into your backpack. Therefore also taking uniforms out of backpacks lying on the ground and directly equipping them or putting them into your own backpack should work too.
    If you notice any problems with inventory operations, like moving uniforms/vests around, please report that immediately.

Note: This update comes with an experimental companion mod that adds new UI components for the audio settings menu and also includes SQF Bytecode for most vanilla functions.
You can download it here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2419451036

The last Bis A3 update (09/03/21) seems to have removed waypoints, personnel markers, & mission task markers, on our Dedicated A3 Server. all the other "custom" difficulty settings still seem active & working. & if you host yourself with same settings  (waypoints=1;) they show, just not on the Dedicated??Anyone know how to fix the problem? Any help appreciated. think its something to do with  app233780 that Steam tries to download & fails

a friend sent me a fix for battleye kicks just add this line to your config.cfg or server.cfg it will allow you to enable battleye again on your servers

 

in the mission cycle area add this 

        autoSelectMission = true;

 

hope this helps seemingly battleye have changed their ip address and thats what is causing all the issues with kicks

 

 

I just added it to the server config and it worked for us.  I didn't need it in the mission cycle area.  Thank you for responding to my post and helping me fix a work around.

Same problem. The latest game and server version.

Changing the difficulty and server settings doesn't help.

not exactly sure when the problem started middle of March?

 

ArmA3 Version is 2.02.147359      I tried turning the 3rd person & crosshairs back on in the Users/serverARMA3PROFILE & there was no change they stayed off. Difficulty settings seems stuck somehow, its weird?

 

Seems were not the only one with the problem

2.02.147514 new PROFILING branch with PERFORMANCE binaries, v9, server and client, windows 32/64-bit, linux server 32/64-bit

 - Tweaked: Use CfgWorlds OutsideTerrain>>colorOutside on the map display if available

 

Notes:
 - Please provide feedback on the map screen volume reduction. It should only work while inside vehicles.
 - Pay attention to text rendering, if you see any Edit textbox control not rendering its text when you expect it to please report it. It shouldn't happen but better be safe.

Thats not profiling.

Please this thread is only about profiling branch specifics. If its not about profiling branch then make a ticket on our feedback tracker: https://feedback.bistudio.com/

Usually disabling the Hetzner's own firewall implementation helps (for my server at least). It's under the Robot tab -> Servers -> Firewall (IIRC). Remember to keep your server's own firewall on in that case, though.

Thanks.  We didn't have any issues until after that Arma update so I'm not sure what changed.

Hi @Dedmen,

Following this release, myself and a few others were unable to load a particular map, https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2084904847, while running the performance binary while opening in editor. After disabling, we were able to load the map in editor.

This occurred when loading only the map, and it's dependency, no other mods.

 

The particular error in the .RPT was:
A3_Static_F_HMG_02 in a3\static_f\hmg_02\
A3_Structures_F_EPA_Civ_Constructions in a3\structures_f_epa\civ\constructions\

Mods: A3;curator;kart;heli;mark;expansion;jets;argo;orange;tacops;tank;enoch;aow;@G.O.S. N'ziwasogo v2 APEX

These Downloads are done manually by Dwarden, and he currently has very little time to take care of it so they are a bit rare to find currently.
