I'm new to the A3 community, so forgive me if this has already been asked. I have Googled, Wiki'd, and Bing'd every resource and it would appear most of the issues could be traced to something called Armaholic; if it isnt there, then there s likely not a fix for it.
GitHub had a few things but I could not figure out how to download and install "patches" to CUP, ACE, or ACRE files.
Is there a simple fix to correct a corrupted or missing cfg/dll/lod, etc. file in order to "satisfy" whatever corrupted or missing file is causing an error?
A lot of what I have found is related to faulty CUP, NIMS, or ACE 3 files that are either outdated or are no longer compatible with current mods.
As such, unless I am oversimplifying it, wouldn't it be possible to correct any missing file with a simple pbo "fix" in order to correct the problem?
If this is not a viable solution, PLEASE provide some guidance as to how to get around outdated or corrupted mods!
Thank you for your assistance and your greatly appreciated insight!

Hello,
Welcome to the community, and to BI Forums!
Quotesomething called Armaholic
Ya Armaholic was a website that hosted all the addons, mods, scripts, and scenarios since the Arma 1 days (2006) and shut down in May 2021
so you wont find that site anymore, what you want for mods is the steam workshop, all the mods in the community will be there.

Ya in the Arma 3 launcher for the mod your having issue with, just repair the mod, about all you need to do.
Though with ace with its dll files, what i would do is go to the Arma 3 directory and in the Workshop folder seen here:
C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Arma 3\!Workshop
Locate the mods there, and then open them, delete the dll files for ace, and then start the launcher and repair the mod, that will
give you fresh and latest version of the mod.
As for mods that arent compatible with some other mods, then you'll need to look for a compat for that mod if there is one, if there
isn't then, the only other way is to run the mods together that arent compatible and then make sure your logs are on and see what the rpt says
it will usually give an error, or something information on whats going on.
Either way if a mod isn't compatible then either see if the author of the mod can make a compat or update their mod,
if no luck there then move on, or learn some code and come up with your own compat. I would search first.
