Client stuck on splash screen when connecting to modded hosted server.

[Tom212 11]

Hi guys,

 

A friend and I have been trying to test out some addons in editor missions on ARMA 3 with the Star Wars: Opposition mod however we keep hitting the same problem.

 

We are connected via VLAN using Hamachi, if we host a vanilla server we can both join eachother and play fine. However the moment we introduce to the Opposition mods to the equation we start getting problems. This is odd because its a highly popular mod that lots of people seem able to use and we've used earlier iterations of it with no problems in the past.

 

If one of us hosts a mission the client can join the lobby, select a role and the host can start the game. When the briefing appears the host can see it fine, however the client gets a flash of what could be the map, before the splash screen appears. The host can continue to launch the mission and conclude the briefing. Then the host loads in and can play without any problems. The client can still only see the splashscreen for loading, even though they can hear gameplay as well as move their character blindly (which the host can see).

 

We have tried a number of things:

- Changing the mod load order.

- Changing from the Star Wars Opposition Ace 3, to normal Ace. (A dependency for Star Wars OP)

- Reinstalling the mods.

- Reversing it so that my friend hosts and I join him, I experience the same problem so its independent from a host.

 

Here I have the RPT's for both the host and client from a test.

 

We were running these mods in this order:

- CBA_A3

- StarWars: Opposition Mod (MAIN)

- Opposition [ACE3]

Would appreciate any help people can offer with this as we're stumped.

 

Not sure if this line in particular has any involvement as I noticed it in both my friend and my RPT's when attempting to be clients. "One or more children of class All do not support Extended Event Handlers. Fall back to loop."

 

-edit: Made a mistake with spoilers in initial post, now corrected with pastebin.

 

Also noticed that some people who use hamachi are being accused of having cracked games, I merely use it because I don't have full access to my router settings.

Turned out that Star Wars Opposition is currently experiencing a bug which causes this, they have a hotfix on their FAQ section of their discord. Problem resolved.
