game cannot start (error message at startup) it says "the procedure entry point CreateFX could not be located in the dynamic link library arma 3.exe" screenshot here http://i.imgur.com/vbJLxDd.jpg (202 kB) googling the error didn't help me Things I tried: -reinstall the game -verify cache -reinstalling directx11(dxsetup from the arma 3 folder itself, and from MS website) -all the redistributables are already installed as well -compatibility mode -nobenchmark and a bunch of launch commands -deleting arma 3.exe and redownloading it -update video drivers can anyone help me?? btw it was working like 6 months ago, when I tried playing it again recently(I didn't play for a long time) this is the problem, and it's the only game that's been doing this Hardware specs: CPU: Intel Core i7-2600K @ 4.5 GHz (Overclocked) same result when @ stock MB: ASUSâ„¢ P8P67-M RAM: 2 x G.Skill Sniper 4 GB DDR3-1600 (Dual Channel) GPU: AMD Sapphire HD 7870 GHz Edition OC 2GB GDDR5 OS: 64-bit Windows 8.1 Enterprise latest version Arma 3 run through Steam, no mods installed posted a feedback to arma 3 devs, this is the link http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=21240

Still can't fix it, I will try repairing install Windows 8.1, hope it fixes it edit: nope didn't work

I already did those things mamasan8 to no avail, but thanks for the info on the CreateFX, now I finally know what's this all about, I'll try googling more about it EDIT: I tried unpacking the Jun2010_XAudio_x64.cab from the directx11 installer and I saw these files infinst.exe XAPOFX1_5.dll JUN2010_XAudio_x64.inf XAPOFX1_5 XAudio2_7.dll and some other related things. some of these files are mentioned in that CreateFX link you posted. Although I don't know what to do with them.

Thanks for the response I already downloaded from that link and still the same problem I also tried to run everything @ stock speeds and nothing changed I tried your suggestion on the launch command on the DLL files(all of them), sadly it didn't work either, I even tried deleting the whole Dll folder just to test it and it displayed the same error message. I also tried doing a number of different startup parameter combinations, still didn't fix it :( btw this is the pic of the actual error, http://i.imgur.com/vbJLxDd.jpg (202 kB)

Thanks but unfortunately I still have this problem, After doing tons of troubleshooting and stuff I am certain that it is the arma3.exe itself that's causing the problem, I tried deleting it and redownloading from steam but still same results, I also tried countless launch commands and compatibility and admins settings, still the same.

still no response from the feedback site, I really want to play the game :( :(

thanks, I updated the main post to include my system specifications and also posted on the feedback website, I hope i can play soon :bounce3:

Anyone? Can anyone help me? or at least help me how to contact the developers themselves? I seem to be running out of ideas :(

any help is appreciated, I've been trying to fix it for a week though now to no avail, I can't play the game :(

yeah, steam regularly updates the game so it's always the latest version

Do you have plans to include Enemy Vehicles? and also the zones are very easy to take, my suggestion is can you have a parameter that adjusts how large the enemy forces will be?

Arma 3 now supports steam workshop, so you could update it to support it too and put the map there, and we can automatically get the new updates and all that. I have one problem encountered so far, I capture half of agia marina with my 5 man squad and an APC and 1 guy got killed and one injured, So I guess I had to extract out. on the helo extraction, when the heli was landing it came under light enemy fire from afar(rifle shots), when the helo finally landed every pilot disembarked and left the heli, but the heli wasn't even damaged and no pilot was injured, my squad entered the heli but nothing happened, after some time it said "Extraction Aborted" and the heli kicked us all out and magically disappeared

Dude this is awesome! i am mostly an SP player myself because I don't have a lot of friends to play with and I live far from most servers so I tend to get high ping. This is godsend, I hope you keep it primarily as an SP or few players game because there's alot of other MP missions anyway. This with "A whole lotta stratis", and "DUWS" could keep me occupied I hope you add side missions soon and the virtual ammo box! and If you can, add workshop support :)

Non steam version? are you sure you are not using a pirated copy of the game?

You should definitely include workshop support!

Awesome updates kibot, I really love the mission, imo it's the best SP map out there.

how do i manually place the HQ, in the editor? when I start its always generating the HQ into a random place. basically I want the HQ zones to be any place near the shore for realism. sometimes the HQ spawns in a bad sloped place and in between zones. and the enemy zones to be mostly the towns and camps also for realism. most of the time it's just in the forest. and the towns, even the camps, are deserted. Also another good suggestion is the addition of Civilians.

Great mission, I've been looking for something like this to play because I don't have alot of friends to play arma 3 with, and almost all of the "sandbox" maps are either coop or multiplayer only. There is one called a whole lotta stratis but it's still kinda scripted. SO yeah, thank you for this. I have suggestion, can you add a "call for taxi" support, like calling a heli for evac and you need to get to the safe LZ randomly placed near you, and calling a heli for insertion where you need to specify in the map where you want to land

Not really that much, most of the gameplay is already there. 1. AI squad recruitment and team switch to them enabled for easy gearing 2. Saves 3. Heli Taxi a. Evac/Pickup (random but nearby safe LZs that must be reached) b. Heli Drop off (click destination on map) Some suggestions for this: There's three ways to do these, one is to make it just like a normal Heli ride, only the AI controls it. but maybe prone to bugs or AI unable to land. the other one is to make it fade to black after takeoff, skip the whole flight, and teleport to the destination behind the scenes, and land. I saw some missions to do this in Arma 2. primarily the Sandbox War maps. but you will lose the awesome sight. Last one is to combine the previous two, make the flight skippable or not. There is a random chance that the heli cannot land on your destination and must land farther than expected. 4. Support system just like in the bohemia support scenario a. Heli Strike b. Artillery c. Maybe some Friendly AI controlled Squads support too, spawns a squad outside view and attacks the selected area in map) d. Vehicle drops Some suggestions for this: If possible, Support can be unlocked through missions, for example, taking over an airbase allows Heli Strike, or the number of towns captured determines how many squad supports you can call simultaneously. I don't know if it's allowed here or not, but I will ask, Can you share your own edited version to me? I would love to try it

would creating tasks still work?

Thanks for listening to our suggestions! great update

Is the taskhint message normal?

Can I play this singleplayer? this mission IS awesome but I don't have enough friends who own arma 3 to play with, and sometimes I just want to play at my own pace. I hope you can make an interesting SP version of it. kinda like a whole lotta stratis :) few suggestions for SP.

Is there an SP version of it? can anyone recommend me a warfare style of gameplay but SP?(full of AIs)

SP Sandbox Dynamic War Missions, Where you have an AI squad, recruitment, supports(heli transpo, artillery, gear drop, air support, etc) and you are given random tasks around the map(assassinate, sabotage, ambush, clear town, etc) while there are main tasks(capturing key points on the map) Completing missions gives you reward both for your squad and friendlies like weapons, supports, and vehicles Play until you capture the whole map. Whole Lotta Stratis comes close to this, although a great scenario, I find it quite lacking If found some COOP/MP Missions that do similar things but I don't know which ones can support Singleplayer
