In my case with how you say things are, I know my general settings (from main game menu) are set to regular, prior to changing my server settings to how they are now, I had the settings very much like any other server and upon joining, could ONLY see in 1st person. On changing the settings in that file to how I mention in my post, I could then change between 1st person and 3rd person views. Also you must remember, that I would believe the difficulty settings that you can change in the main arma menu relates to single player/coop missions and not MP missions as MP mission difficulty would be set server side. Hence i STILL believe this to be a syntax type error as I originally mentioned in my post. I feel this needs to be tested by a few other players to confirm for sure.

For all those who are STILL having difficulty setting thirdperson view: The error is in the syntax that is causing your headaches, but will go through what I have done to resolve this issue. under your profile folder: example navigate to "SC" (or whatever your profile folder is called) on your server >> in here edit "config.cfg" and make sure you change difficulty to "CustomDifficulty" (exactly as shown here) save any changes made. Next navigate into the "Users" folder then into "SC" >> make the following edit to "sc.arma3profile": difficulty = "Custom"; class DifficultyPresets { class CustomDifficulty { class Options { groupIndicators = 2; friendlyTags = 0; enemyTags = 0; detectedMines = 0; commands = 1; waypoints = 1; weaponInfo = 0; stanceIndicator = 1; reducedDamage = 0; staminaBar = 0; weaponCrosshair = 1; visionAid = 0; thirdPersonView = 1; cameraShake = 1; scoreTable = 1; deathMessages = 1; vonID = 1; mapContent = 0; autoReport = 0; multipleSaves = 0; }; aiLevelPreset = 2; }; class CustomAILevel { skillAI = 1; precisionAI = 0; }; }; This is where a lot of users have come into difficulties, the error is simply down to a slight syntax issue. The difference being: Incorrect: thirdpersonview=1 Correct: thirdpersonview = 1 Some people MAY argue against this, but I am pretty sure this IS true as I have tried both methods and the correct method ie "thirdpersonview = 1" resolved the issue for me. heres my complete file so if you want just copy/paste and replace your entire sc.arma3profile file. version=2; activeKeys[]={}; class Difficulties { class CustomDifficulty { class Options { groupIndicators = 2; friendlyTags = 1; enemyTags = 1; detectedMines = 0; commands = 1; waypoints = 1; weaponInfo = 0; stanceIndicator = 1; reducedDamage = 0; staminaBar = 0; weaponCrosshair = 1; visionAid = 0; thirdPersonView = 1; cameraShake = 1; scoreTable = 1; deathMessages = 1; vonID = 1; mapContent = 0; autoReport = 0; multipleSaves = 0; }; aiLevelPreset = 2; }; class CustomAILevel { skillAI = 1; precisionAI = 0; }; class veteran { class Flags { Armor=0; FriendlyTag=1; EnemyTag=0; MineTag=0; HUD=1; HUDWp=1; HUDWpPerm=1; HUDGroupInfo=1; AutoSpot=0; WeaponCursor=1; ClockIndicator=1; 3rdPersonView=1; UltraAI=0; CameraShake=0; DeathMessages=1; NetStats=1; VonID=1; ExtendetInfoType=0; }; skillFriendly=0.60000002; skillEnemy=0.60000002; precisionFriendly=0.28; precisionEnemy=0.28; }; class mercenary { class Flags { HUD=1; AutoSpot=0; WeaponCursor=0; DeathMessages=1; NetStats=1; VonID=1; }; skillFriendly=0.60000002; skillEnemy=0.60000002; precisionFriendly=0.28; precisionEnemy=0.28; }; }; difficulty="Custom"; singleVoice=0; maxSamplesPlayed=96; sceneComplexity=1000000; shadowZDistance=100; viewDistance=3000; preferredObjectViewDistance=3000; terrainGrid=12.5; volumeCD=10; volumeFX=10; volumeSpeech=10; volumeVoN=10; vonRecThreshold=0.029999999;
