[Please Help] Port Forwarding Dilemma
cgibson2 replied to madrussian's topic in ARMA 3 - TROUBLESHOOTING
https://imgur.com/Qa4KHpz This is my port forwarding setup. I have an Arris and have no idea the model plus we have a NETGear 8 port switch on it. Imgur link is my image showing my port forwarding... below explains All of these are for my pc except Steam (25), that is for my husband's pc. I am trying to work on both a DayZ server and an Arma 3 dedicated server. Mine are all the 18 settings. The thing is, on his, 25, he does in game hosting of games, web hosting. I cannot seem to load the dedicated tonight once he started playing. I kept getting UPnP Failed once I launch the server. Armaserver and battleye I did today. The DayZ are all from last two weeks. We did get a new switch, but it did not change my IP4 What am I doing wrong? I haven't messed with this sort of thing for quiet awhile now and don't remember most of what I did before and made it work. Thank you! -
CSLA, its prognosed low sales and future of Creator DLC's
cgibson2 replied to TesACC's topic in ARMA 3 - CREATOR DLC
NO KIDDING!!! Just can't wait for its release!! I have posted this before I keep reading, lol. In our house, we have to buy 3 copies of everything for Arma... so this new Creators DLC is no different. Price lower would be nice, but if you look at what comes with it like GM did... that was rated way low in my opinion...it should have been more like Apex... I think we paid 35 each for GM.... it was forth it though.. and this is USD. Also, if it is like 30GB... so be it... that is like buying a new game in some cases. CDLC... we have been waiting since its announcement! 🙂 -
Tophe's Arma Dedicated Server Tool (TADST)
cgibson2 replied to tophe's topic in ARMA 3 - SERVERS & ADMINISTRATION
I have an issue okay a few issues, lol. Yes I know, everyone does. I found a video and followed it and it was going okay but then I kept getting the UpnP box unchecked. Do I have to have this checked if my router has it enabled? Thank you. This is my first time trying dedicated server with Arma3 (currently working with a DayZ SA as well -- what a disaster there) -
Yes one problem solved and now on to another... Go to host a multiplayer game, change it from LAN to Internet, put my password in, change to 4 players, and check UnPn (or whatever it is) and then click "Host server" ... Nothing.. Game freezes to where you have to Clt Alt Del out of the game. There is not issue with a LAN game, but really want the Internet to work. I do not have port fowarding setup as never needed it before. Haven't been able to play an Internet MP game since.. yep, the 64bit update (same as other post).... I marked all Arma 3 files Allow on the firewall... Do I really need to setup up port fowarding for Arma and Steam?? Thank you !!!!

Cannot get ingame MP to work on Internet
cgibson2 replied to cgibson2's topic in ARMA 3 - MULTIPLAYER
Okay, we upgraded to a few MSI laptops with i7 (i have no idea exact processor in it right now)... its an HQ though... we were able to connect over Internet finally... have had these about a 2 months now, not a problem until yesterday Feb 23 2018.... main one who has been host all this time (Kevin).... can only do a LAn game.. we have no idea what is wrong unless it has to do with Windows 10 trying to update to 1079 and keep failing to install... not sure if that is the problem... usually we get a windows update and I have to go back an update.. but update was never allowed or stopped for whatever reason... and now wants to try and update again but it was working fine (internet MP) before this... but for whatever reason it is only able to do LAN.. LAn works fine.. 2nd laptop (Alex) same house... he can host no problem though.. not sure.. he doesn;t have the update to 1079 either.. had to revert on his too. ANy help would be greatly appreciated!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- 6 replies

Cannot get ingame MP to work on Internet
cgibson2 replied to cgibson2's topic in ARMA 3 - MULTIPLAYER
Why would I have to do that now since I never had to before to play internet mp... game always did it. If I do it, I had read somewhere, steam probably, that I would have to port steam as well as arma 3...- 6 replies

IT WORKS!!!!!!!! Oh my gosh!!! There was the 1.76 update and it still froze... took one of those parameters, Extra Threads and checked, nothing else though is checked and we have played for two days!!! We have not been able to play since the 64bit update... THANK YOU!! Thank you to everyone who came here and helped out... so much appreciation here... THank you again!!!! Oh, when he wasn't able to shoot.. it was from a mod conflict with some pose mod... he disabled that and had no issues with freezing on shooting.

Have had this problem but never had this problem before 1.68. Played great on 1.66 and then 1.68 came out and haven't been able to play Arma since. Just redownloaded it today, again, clean installation, verify the files, no mods - unsubscribed from all of them, and nothing. Game freezes on main screen.. nothing nothing nothing and no one at BI seems to know what is the problem.............. I have been on twitter like crazy trying to get help, the feedback tracker does not work for me or just does not like me... I wish I knew what was wrong with the damn game. Had Raptr on computer from when I got it... but changed AMD for GeForce 1060 when we first got computers... and that didn't do anything either. Our firewall, microsoft, only upon first installation, do you have to allow the firewall to recognize the game, computers are directly wired into the router... ..... I have idea what else the problem could be. Changed from 64 to 32 and back.. same thing, freezes and nothing. Specs.. AMD A4-7300 3.80GHz 8 GB DDR3 GeForce 1050 (Came with AMD Radeon HD 8470D Graphics... sucked whatever, changed that before we really started using them,... 2nd day bought the GeForce cards) 1TB with Windows 10 64bit Had these specs when the 1.66 update and game was beautiful.. ran no problems whatsoever.. no lag or nothing... 1.68 happened and boom.. nothing, like I said.. What on earth is the problem????????? I want to play again!!!!! Thank you very much if anyone can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.

Still having freezing problem when he gets shot at... was running fine until that.. well except for the 4 restarts of the computer to finally get the game to take.. just factory restored 2 days ago and the only things installed are steam, chrome, arma 3, arma 2 and oa, winrar, thehunter:cotw, (had major issues with that game, but that is not for here)... pbo manager and onedrive... that is it I believe... and arma 3 tools.. no idea...
-
I did those and it made the graphics all messed up and trees were upside down and blocked..when they would get shot at, the game would freeze.. not just freeze for a few seconds, but completely shut out freeze... where they had to ctl alt del out of the game... I did all those and then instead of unchecking, he just deleted the game and we restored the computer... he was pretty upset that the game quiet playing... I am honestly at a loss... this is why though I created this thread... I was tired of trying to look up solutions when I couldn't find any... Oh... when it didn't freeze.. Alex was only able to play for like 10 min at a time... and then the game cannot set up for an internet game... it freezes there too during the port fowarding message... can only play on LAN.. haven't been able to have an internet game since the 64bit update... only LAN I am grateful though for all the help from everyone...
-
Someone mentioned getting an SSD and that should fix the shooting problem but it just started and these computers we bought just this Feb 2017. Have had the game for over a year and this is the first time this has happened with the shooting.
-
Now... when we play.. only on LAN, cannot do an internet game with port fowarding (i dont have to do anything to my router, usually the game did all it had to do).. when Alex gets shot at though, his game freezes and all he can do it Ctl Alt Del out of the game.. could that be video thing where he needs to update video card (and do the DDU thing as well, which I still have not done). Downloaded it tonight and had the updated 1.76 version and it all seemed to work, except for what was going on with Alex... not sure on that... we can talkk just fine using discord, game loads a lot better and faster than it ever did. Thanks!!
-
I will try. I see the game updated so will check it out in next few days... thank you and will let you know if it works... sorry for taking so long. Thank you.
-
Yes did it and same... it didn't change anything... I did it again just on Saturday
-
Went to do that and the analyzer said it did not need defragmented....
-
And now.. he got to where he was able to set up a game, go into and build one in 3D editor.. and when he saved and clicked PLAY.. IT FROZE!! Do we need bigger or faster computers to play?? We were playing it fine before and I don't think any else needs to happen, but he is convinced that we need an i7, which I found an i7 7700 for $308 on amazon... I don't remember the seller.. I was going to do the upgrade but can't until January... ugh.. oh and saw something about needing a bigger hard drive?? Would he might be talking about a static drive??? Is that something to look into? Or is that just preference?
-
Our router is from Atlantic Broadband and is Arris.. I don't remember the model number though.. but it was "new" when to the company when we got it and it is has been a few months.. I do not though have the port forwarding done on the router.. I deleted when we thought that WarGame Red Dragon was not able to play because of what I had done (not knowing that day that the game was just down..... ) On the Internet game..when I go to the click Host Server.. Please wait while setting up Port forwarding comes up and nothing happens.. just have to restarting, but task manager doesn't work when this happens.. I will see about doing that with the firewall but since they are wired in, not sure if the idea works... THank you though! I appreciate all help as I am at a loss with this game.. now. he can't even get the game past main load screen again.. UGH!!
-
It seemed last night, yeah I know, it took awhile to convince him to re download the game. Well.. I did this on both computers and there were 3 or 4 Arma3 that were listed as blocked,, so we enabled or allowed them and then we were able to connect over LAN. Here is the thing though. The one computer was fine but the other kept crashing, couldnt stay signed in.. both computers have the same specs.. as listed in original post... Today... worked fine.. were able to see the game on LAN, play together and what not.. but had to go to town.. so turned off computer. Came home, .. Game would not repsond. It was like nothing had happened to it.. kept freezing on main screen, then would let me get to the MP screen and freeze while trying to both LAN and internet games... It is like no progress at all.. but the other computer, the one that kept crashing last night.. was doing okay on Arsenal... not in game but arsenal.
-
I will try those tomorrow hopefully, maybe a few more days after that depending on what they have going on around here. THANK YOU!!! Do I need to have the port forwarding set up? I did have it on the router, until they went to play Wargame: Red Dragon and they couldn't connect that game... thinking maybe it was on our end, not knowing at that time it was totally their problem... but I have since deleted the port forwarding I did... also, I saw a video saying I needed to add Steam for port forwarding?? I never had to mess with Steam before? But to be honest, the only port forwarding I have ever done was 3 routers ago and it was for that santa clean up game and Minecraft. .. Never had to mess with it for Arma... and we had a new router before we couldn't play.
-
OK... I did a clean install of the game including deleting all folders that were still on computer... in common and in documents... nothing, no mods.. game worked.. had to do some port forwarding though, not a big deal. BUT... only on LAN can I get a MP play game, it still freezes if I try to do an internet game... AND my LAN game CANNOT be seen... Game works though, lol... but my son can't see it under LAN or FRIENDS... there are tons of games showing up under INTERNET and what not... I haven't seen those since 1.66 (before the 64bit update)... SSooooo one problem solved but still have a problem... ugh.
-
What about a clean installation? With that I mean deleting the Arma 3 folder in Documents and starting 100% like new? What about doing that? What about reverting to 1.72 and playing on 32bit? Ran great 1.66 32bit... Just an idea. Don't know if it will work though.

Is 8GB no longer enough memory for 64-bit update? Locking up/crashing consistently since update
cgibson2 replied to Mynock's topic in ARMA 3 - TROUBLESHOOTING
Here is my thread if that helps any. I still haven't been able to play since they updated to 1.68. With 1.68 we went back to 1.66 legacy and it was awesome... nope, then Jets and then fricking nothing... total bs so I can here and there are a lot of things to check on this thread, but I didnt get anything to work, which really really sucks. Can't even play A2OA on internet with others... jerks. linked it to you so you can try some of these solutions. -
CPU % was 54% to 65% with the game running, but it also froze while doing this. Set nvidia setting to GPU, it was set to Auto detect; and did NOT find rundll.32 anywhere listed. I still wasn't able to get the game to get past load screen... well, the server browser screen today is where it frooze at each time I started game. I think they are going to uninstall the game and leave it at that. Very frustrating. Haven't played A3 since they updated... I was able to revert to 1.66 from 1.68 but then Jets came out and messed it all up for us going to 1.70. Current version of game is 1.74.142223.
