I'm just posting what i put into the Arma discord as i didnt get a reply there and was hoping the forums might have an answer. Hi, my friend is having an issue connecting to multiplayer servers. When he goes to join a server from either launcher or ingame server browser, he is presented with a load screen (usually a black screen with some TV effect) that doesnt progress. It should be noted that none of this was an issue 2 weeks ago. What we've tried to do to remedy the issue: Joined both my own dedicated server (with mods) and random public vanilla servers Verified game cache Unsubscribed from all mods, deleted any leftover folders and files Deleted MP Missions Cache Deleted Cache.ch Set up a new ingame profile Uninstalled Arma and deleted every single leftover folder, reinstalling it ofc Put the firewall down incase that was affecting anything Put battleEye on and off Running Arma (64bit) as admin. Joining a server, pressing escape once confronted with the black screen thingo, then trying to rejoin

Re: Page file I had him look through and found that the paging file was being managed by the system, but that he was low on SSD space, so i had him rectify that by cleaning ~15GB's worth of files but it still did not resolve the issue. I also had him check his drivers as well and his drivers were last updated 3-4 months ago, i don't think they're the issue either, plus he has no issue running other games or connecting to mp for other games, or hosting a lan server so im not sure if it could be a driver issue at all either.

To elaborate further (my apologies that i hadn't). It's not a black screen in terms of the monitor going blank, rather its a black screen with the TV/CRT effect Arma applies over the load screens, kinda like what happens when you load something but dont have a world in the background loaded. (Making it so a world is loaded in the background like Tanoa only changes what load screen he's given.) This is whats leading me to think its either network, or OS issues.

I dont want to sound rude (but im going to end up doing that lmao) but if you read the original post you'd have seen we cleared that.

This is my friends .rpt file when attempting to connect to my server https://justpaste.it/613nk This is my own rpt file: https://justpaste.it/3xfhb It should be noted that all my other friends can connect to any arma server as well. We also tried the flush command, running -nobenchmark, etc. In his rpt however i found the line (699): "14:47:31 No more slot to add connection at XXXXXX (XXXX.X,XXXX.XX)" Which is odd considering myself and my friends can actually connect. To be further exact with the error he's experiencing, When he attempts to connect to the server, everyone on the server gets the "player X is connecting" message however what he sees is just a black screen, for some reason he cant get to the lobby screen or get booted for using the wrong mods.

Answering the meanwhile questions because it'l be a while before i can get my friend to do the other stuff. The game is, like his system and steam itself, on an SSD. The issue is occuring on any mission regardless of server and mods Both as far as i can tell but i might need to verify that mroe Yep, we've tried to run his own MP lan server and there was no issue in loading missions Unknown, will have to ask With the exception of -nobenchmark, we've given the rest a try Unknown, will have to ask Unknown Game in fullscreen as far as i can tell but i might've asked him to switch to windowed borderless at some point. Not yet, will try that when i can. Thanks for taking the time to respond 👍

Vindicta: Altis 90's is an addon for Vindicta that adds the ability to use Altis 90's factions and equipment in the Vindicta scenario. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2195131993 Three factions to add to your Vindicta playthroughs - AAF (90's) - Winter AAF (90's) - Altian Police Department Credits - rrrrrrrrr on the Global Mobilization Discord for the assistance rendered in helping me troubleshoot issues. - Vindicta mod team for creating Vindicta as well as guide for adding mods to their scenarios NOTES - I myself do not play Vindicta, i am completely reliant on user feedback to determine if the scenario is playing well, if things are as it should be, or if there are any issues on either a technical level or gameplay level. - This mod, as you can guess, is completely dependent on Altis 90's, Vindicta, and Global Mobilization to run in a Vindicta scenario, if you dont have any of those, i suggest you correct that before complaining.

Annnnd released

Not at the moment, i'm currently taking a break from big projects in general since im lacking the motivation. In addition what assets i can give factions is dependent on what GM or other mods add as i myself am not a modeller.

Be on the look out in the coming days for a nice little addon for a particular third party mod/scenario to play with ya bois

Development of Altis 90's will resume when the next update for Global Mobilization is publically released, in the meantime, a few pics of me testing my pattern on the new vehicles.

Another teaser for the submod

Just a little teaser to a submod i've begun a biit of work on Future updates to Altis 90's however still takes priority, i.e when the GM helicopters update comes out i'l be focusing on that.

The crane doesnt work in normal gameplay, i had to use its animation sources to make the screenshot.
