Edit: Nevermind, I actually seem to have fixed it. I randomly discovered that for some reason, two versions of ACE had been installed into the same folder (thanks, Steam workshop). This was evident from the version numbers they give to all the files. After downloading the latest version from the ACE website and deleting/replacing the one on the server directory all seems well at last. Unable to edit first post, keeps telling me I fail the robot check. My secret is out!!!

Hello and welcome to my personal nightmare of getting a dedicated server actually running properly. Spent my two full days off on this. Server seems to be running fine at last, for the most part. I can join and play fine however when I go to leave the server and then rejoin I am unable to load in. The server list reports that I am still connected (showing 1/8 players). The map appears but it just hangs there indefinitely. The server RPT log shows: 19:14:24 NetServer::finishDestroyPlayer(823212017): DESTROY immediately after CREATE, both cancelled 19:14:24 BEServer::finishDestroyPlayer(823212017): users.get failed Help me, BI Forums. You're my only hope!

Hey guys, so I've been having a hellish nightmare of a time just trying to set up an Arma 3 dedicated server. Arma 2 used to be so easy, I'm not sure when this all became so impossibly difficult.. with githubs and pull requests and there being no actual pbo file there that I can find. Maybe it came with getting old. Is there some manual somewhere on how to use github because it feels like everyone else in the world knows what to do with that website except me. Anyway I'm at my wits end so I'm gonna put this in here and just maybe someone will be able to help me out. Here's what I want to do: find and run a couple of BECTI missions on Chernarus or Altis with the option to have CUP or Vanilla units. Is this at all possible? Does anyone know if such missions exist? Because hours of searching the internet has yielded no results. I can get close but it seems that I can't get the specific cigar I want. I've found a CUP version of BECTI Chernarus on Steam however the missions that download from the workshop never work (I take them from the steam download folder and transfer them to the server). I have downloaded and tried the mission from this thread - 'becti_0097_latest_lg.altis.pbo', however that never gets past the initial map load as it reaches the page with Configure Addons and Continue, however nothing happens after clicking Continue except the button disappears, and my server RPT log receives a lot of errors. I've hosted local servers and missions before fine, I'm not sure why doing a remote server is so hard. I'd really really appreciate any help or advice. Cheers.
