Unable to start game since Apex

Recommended Posts

What I've tried so far with main branch:

1. Cleaning download cache in Steam

2. Manually deleting Steam's depotcache directory contents.

3. Full reinstall of Arma 3 (with above steps performed too)

Nothing helped, I was still getting bad version 72 error, until switched to legacyports branch.

 

So I decided to find the difference between those branches. Here are lists of shasums of differing files:

Steam server used for download: Russia - Novosibirsk

 

There are people in ports users community who are

- using Linux

- using main branch of Arma 3 in Steam

- had no problems with Apex and/or Tanoa

I found at least two (and I heard of more), and both of them confirmed they have exact same file ./Expansion/Addons/vegetation_f_exp.ebo in main branch as I have in legacyports (checksum f1a1992bee936b1eae89ce6bc1fef8a32f3e94dc).

So I guess there might be some Steam/distribution issue messing the files in branches. That explains BIS QA Team had no problems with main branch either (they might get correct files for main branch).

Hi,

 

I checked into Bohemia's bugtracker and saw that T122378 (https://feedback.bistudio.com/T122378) got closed as resolved, but it doesn't seem to me, they fixed the main branch.

As you're the last one to post helpful debug info, it would be interesting if you ever got feedback beyond that.

Just finished performing these steps again (after switching from legacyports to main branch):

1. Cleaning download cache in Steam
2. Manually deleting Steam's depotcache directory contents.

3. Downloading 4.8 GiB from main branch

4. Checking files' validity (just in case)
NO full reinstall of Arma 3 this time, sorry (I don't have time for this shit)

5. Bad version 72 in p3d file 'a3\vegetation_f_exp\clutter\grass\c_grassbunch_hi.p3d'

 

Nothing changed. I mean not a single bit (I still have list of shasums from the time of my previous post, Jan 2nd; all sums identical, now and then).

I don't know what BIS fixed in ports version, it's not in my Steam copy of Arma 3.

Same issue here; "'a3\vegetation_f_exp\clutter\grass\c_grassbunch_hi.p3d'"

 

I've tried everything. Absolutely convinced it's something on Steam/BIS end. :(
