Yup ! https://github.com/Foxlider/FASTER/wiki

Nope because FASTER's code is getting old and is not compatible with scheduling features. KAST on the other end might be able to do that

Nope, arma limitations

thank you for supporting Faster !
I have two quick questions:
- in my community, I don't think we have a steam account for the dedicated server (not needed as far as I know). How would that impact the way Faster is working ?
- we are using different modset. The may issue from switching from one to another is handling the keys folder. Is that handled automatically by Faster ?
I also noticed, on my PC, that my workshop mods have the status "Update required" while they are properly synced by the WS (ie already up to date).
Many thanks !
It's OK as long as you don't update while playong
Different keysets is not supported YET

There is an issue with SteamCMD lately. You should try reinstalling it

I am much more active on Discord than on the forum. I often miss notifications here but I'm always active on FASTER's discord server.

Sometimes multiple times. Usually only for the first time i download the mod (not on updating). Is this due to a timeout feature?
This is due to a steamCMD limitation and there is nothing I can do to fix it. SteamCMD is simply unable to download more than 1Gb at a time. I am working on 1.8 to get rid of SteamCMD and switch to a new solution, fixing all issues, hopefully.
On 5/8/2021 at 5:32 AM, Crierd said:Is there an ETA on updating the client so the new Prairie Fire DLC is selectable? Currently not able to run a server without this.
No ETA sadly. I am having a lot of work with 1.8 release and still much to do before it's done and stable. But when it's out, all DLCs should be suupported. In the meantime, consider using the extra commandline arguments. Also, join the discord, the commuynity might find a solution to your issue

@B.Miller THis is due to a Steam API limitation. You need to increase the value of the SteamProtocolMaxDataSize

(also I hope the admins will pin this topic with the others like FAST2 and TADST)

Sorry for the late reply @CRCError1970 I am much more active on Discord and rarely check the forums
Headless limit should increase for next update (1.8). TBH, users rarely use that many HCs so I never thought I'd have to increase the limit- 1
-
This is not possible without a bit of tweaking.
Depending on how the mission is using its database it might be even trickier.
Usually, you'll wan to copy the ArmaProfile.vars file from the old profile to the new and rename it. Might work -
On 11/6/2020 at 11:37 AM, Tankbuster said:First, can we have an 'open RPT button' that opens the rpt file in the default application? FAST used to have it and I miss it.
To answer that, intel says that the button was rarely used by very few users and was quite a buggy feature. I removed it to clear up the UI a bit.
You can easily open your profile folder by right-clicking the profile name on the bottom since 1.7. If enough people require that feature again, I will add it back.
On 11/6/2020 at 11:37 AM, Tankbuster said:Also, FASTER only allows us to set custom difficulty for tactical ping to zero or one - off or on. The game allows it to be set to 2
I haven't see that feature on the wiki. I'll search that a bit and see about it. Should not be difficult to change tho
Thanks for all that feedback ! -
This is an issue I had a few times and yeah, I genuinely have no idea why.
I managed to reproduce this bug but I think it's due to RDP.
Maybe it's an error when converting the color of the profile names but IDK- 2

////// IMPORTANT ///////
There have been a major delay in the release for 1.7 because of a few glitches that arrived a bit late. These have been fixed and it's been about a week with no bug reports so release should be arriving soon.
MAKE SURE YOU READ THE WIKI ABOUT FASTER_Maintenance.exe FOR THE MIGRATION TO THE NEW VERSION OTHERWISE YOU MIGHT LOOSE YOUR PROFILES -
Update 1.7 also contains very important fixes about adding mods causing crashes
- 1
-
Brace yourselves !
Tomorrow (or Saturday if I'm late) I will release FASTER 1.7 featuring the new Profile View and the FASTER Maintenance executable
A migration procedure is in the latter to easily convert your old 1.6 profiles to 1.7 without losing any data
The git repo have also changed :

My least favorite bug !
From the Discord FAQ channel :
3. FASTER does not start anymore / keeps crashing ! Check in your logs if you are having issues about missing DLLs. The message should look like the following : System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Something.I.Gess, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=blahblahblah'. The system cannot find the file specified. This is a known bug. FASTER files are extracted in the temp folder while running and windows likes to "clean" this folder. Current workaround is to set the DOTNET_BUNDLE_EXTRACT_BASE_DIR environment variable to some path such as C:\Users\your_user_name\Documents\Apps\FASTER (refer to #faq n°7 for this procedure). It should prevent Windows from deleting the files.
7. Wait, how do I change Environment Variables ? Search into your Windows Search bar for "Environment" Then Edit your System Environment Variables > Environment Variables... > New... and fill the information like so
-
It's far from finished but the UI changed a lot and should be *roll drums* FASTER

Sneak peak of the new profile !
Spoiler
SERVER.CFG tab
Profile and Mods tab
This is still a work in progress but it should look super cool and a lot easier to use
For more updates and previews, head to the Discord server.- 1

Just a bit of news for you all !
There haven't been any update for a while for a good reason :
I'm not dead (not that I know of, at least) but I'm actively working on a whole new profile system.
The current system was a clusterfuck of code and functions doing too many things. It was all working with sticks and duct-tape.The new system is a lot more simple and feature a realtime save system to avoid losing your settings if something bad happens. Also a few more design novelties and improvements.
You can go check the progress on Discord where I'm more active (link in first post).- 2

I think this is just related to SteamCMD.
It's an error I get as well sometimes. Haven't had troubles though.
Are you having issues downloading content ? -
On 5/18/2020 at 1:49 AM, Arghbra said:2) HTML MODs: If possible, you could put an option similar to that of importing MODs for download but on the tab for selecting MODs for the server / player. With that, having a .HTML would be able to import the list of MOD's from the mission. (without having to hunt MOD to MOD in a list with more than 100)
It is planned. I'm having a shitload of work right now and don't have much time for FASTER. But it's a planned feature.
I'm actually working on remarking the whole Profile system and its view so... Yeah. Lots of work and lots of rework -

Fox's Arma Server Tool Extended Rewrite (FASTER)
in ARMA 3 - SERVERS & ADMINISTRATION
Posted
Hey y'all
Sorry I have never answered
I don't use the BI Forums at all and just remembered it was a thing.
There is a Discord server though where loads of users share advices and help each other. I advise you look there for help or bug reports
Load order is by default managed by Arma but you can force it. In the Profile there is a LOAD column. double click on it and you can set the order. When Importing a modlist from files, the mod order is forced according to the order in the mod file
