Arma 3 Addons Help

Recommended Posts

So after having installed my addons the incorrect way by placing them into the addons folder, I could no longer play online. So I reinstalled my Arma 3 hoping that would clean everything up but the pbo files I placed in there are still in there.

So now I seek you guys for help, can someone send me a picture of the Arma 3 Addons folder of what it looks like with a completely vanilla game so that I could remove all the pbo files that do not pertain to it?

They should have already been removed. However, just in case you were wondering, most of the vanilla addons are description_f_description.pbo. The only one's that aren't labeled in that format are the A3.pbo and the map_description.pbo files. So, make sure that all of your pbo (and bisign) files are in one of those 3 formats. Afterwards, make use of the "validate integrity" option on steam just in case you deleted something important by accident. Good luck! Come back if you have any more questions!

So could I probably just wipe the whole addons folder clean then validate files to get back only the vanilla pbo's?

That works too, if you don't mind downloading them again.
