I have figured out how to get Arma 3 to work with Proton and have full mod support. After downloading Arma 3 using Steam play Proton, go to your Arma 3 directory, and rename the “arma3launcher.exe” to anything. Then rename your “arma3_x64.exe” or “arma3.exe” to “arma3launcher.exe”. After that you can just launch the game through Steam, but if you have audio issues you need to use “WINEPREFIX=/path/to/steam/steamapps/compatdata/107410/pfx winecfg”. Go to libraries, add “xaudio2_6” and “xaudio2_7” setting both to “native,builtin”. Finally if you want to use any mods that use .dlls you need to source a imagehlp.dll from a windows installation, and drop it in your “/path/to/steam/steamapps/compaydata/107410/pfx/drive_c/windows/system32” directory. Then use winecfg and set "imagehlp" to "native". That will let arma load mods that use .dlls properly. Suggested tools for a better experience Proton Wine Manager Arma3-Proton-Launcher

Greetings! The 122nd ODST Division is a new unit, looking for people who are active and are 17+ or older. The era the unit will be taking part in is the war with the Covenant (along with fighting insurrectionists as well) and the possibilities can range from dropping behind enemy lines, to supporting militias on occupied worlds or can range to planetary defense or invasion of an occupied world. we are also interested in playing with other units. Information The unit is a community between milsim and casual play, in-game during unit events, members are expected to play with a sense of realism from loading in and grabbing gear to the ending with a debrief. Campaigns will be 4 missions long (1 mission per week), Major Campaigns will be 6-8 missions long (1 1/2-2 months long) operations will be on Sundays at 6pm EST (5pm CST) and training will take place on Friday at 6pm EST (5pm CST). Campaigns will have different endings depending on the outcome of the previous missions before the final one, and can depict of moving the unit to another planet or retreating and changing the outcome of its position in the UNSC's fight against the covenant. Outside of operations members are encouraged to play games with each other in team speak and build a camaraderie between each other to build a tight understanding that can be used in operations without conflict arising. If interested please come join us on our discord is: https://discord.gg/PEw5eM

Whenever I try to load the game from the launcher with Battleye turned on I get this message. Does anyone know how to fix it? Link

I usually use Alt+Tab in Arma 3. Sometimes game doesn't stop responding even after 100 times of Alt+Tab and sometimes it stops at the first time. This annoying and disturb to play. Help me 😞

Hey, I still have this weird bug where I have some weird sound when I'm driving or flying in a vehicle in first person. How it looks it is only in the 64-Bit version of Arma 3. I searched for many solutions but didn't find anything. Hope somebody can help me here.

Hello guys i tried to make my gui menu starts with music but my ways did not worked so this is my config can any one help to let the music works class CfgPatches { class A3Data { units[] = {}; weapons[] = {}; requiredVersion = 0.1; author[] = {"David Smith"}; requiredAddons[] = {}; }; }; class CfgSounds { sounds[] = {}; class david_sound { name = "david_sound"; // start path to sound file in AddOn with @ sound[] = { "@Admin\addons\Admin\sounds\david_sound.ogg", 1, 1, 100 }; titles[] = { 0, "" }; }; }; #include "Dialog\BIDefines.hpp" #include "Dialog\Admin_Menu.hpp" class CfgFunctions { class bruhinfoshitisshitaflolroflimautisticxD { class Functions { file = "Admin\Functions"; class david {}; class selchanged {}; }; class undtcted { class Init { postInit=1; file = "Admin\Functions\fn_Admin.sqf"; }; }; }; }; //

I was thinking on testing the Cloud Gaming Service Shadow on Arma 3 to see how well it would perform. Has anyone tried this before with their results if so please link them it would be very much appreciated.

I have recently began to redo an old Hearts and Minds mission I used to make years ago. I ended up forgetting to how set an area that AI could not spawn in. Any suggestions? I really don't want enemy AI spawning on my base.

I am trying to put money into my mission. I want to have an addAction script so that the player can check money(I am using an addAction script because I don't know how to put text on the screen that updates the money). When I put in the code below, when I use the action only a hint box that says "Wallet: " appears. I am new to scripting in arma. Does anyone know how I can fix this. playerCash = 500; player addAction ["<t color='#4B0082'>Check Money</t>", {hint 'Wallet: ' + str(playerCash)}];

Hi all ! I make a mission and I want to have a stockage in a Box and a player can get this item by an Addaction, but if the item do not exist in the box he can't get it, or to have one object inventory for 2 object. Also I make this but that doesn't work, if anybody can help me ? - the script : if (isNil "Weapon_arifle_AK12_F" inArea "Box_NATO_Equip_F) then { hint "bite" }; - the Addaction : this addaction ["Bouffe","bouffe.sqf"]; //used in the object Sorry i'm french also my english is not very good.

I am trying to update a older aircraft and one problem I am having is the ejection system, it is not working - when I eject from the aircraft, the ejection seat appears but hovers above the aircraft and nothing else happens. I have tried adding in this; I am not sure how to get it properly working, any help would be appreciated.

TL;DR, see my major conclusions Before we get started, for those who are not familiar with how to use the 2x fixed-zero Rifle Optics in the first place, see the "Sight Usage" section of Dslyecxi's TTP3, about 40% of the way down under "Basic Infantry; Combat Marksmanship; Basic Marksmanship" http://ttp3.dslyecxi.com/2_basic_infantry.php Now, since the earliest parts of the early access period, Arma 3 has had a series of 2x-and-a-bit magnification optics with fixed 300m zeroes and ballistic drop compensators. There were (and to a certain extent, still are) a lot of assumptions going around about these optics. That some are for certain calibers. That 7.62mm NATO has no corresponding optics. That any optic "in a certain caliber" would match up with any weapon in that caliber. Kind of makes sense, right? That because the RCO (MX) and ARCO (Katiba) were both found on 6.5mm weapons, they were interchangeable and that any 6.5mm weapon would work with them. Same for the MRCO (Mk20), ERCO (SPAR-16), and 5.56mm. And because none of them came with 7.62mm weapons as their "obvious" partner, big bore was -poop- out of luck for 2x optics. But I've been watching a lot of Rogue-9's videos regarding mechanics investigations in Rainbow Six Siege recently, and every single time he does in with assumptions, they get busted (side note, go sub to him if you have any interest in Siege, his work is very informative). This started getting me thinking about some of the assumptions I had about Arma 3, and the 2x Rifle Optics was one of the biggest ones. So I loaded up Hebontes, and after some trial and error getting the target ranges right, I loaded up my rifles and started plinking. The results were... well, native English speakers know what they say about assumptions: they make an Ass of U and Umption For those who just want the results, here's a link to the documents I wrote up about General Recommendations and Conclusions https://docs.google.com/document/d/1urGglgS6M_d26dFl3nynFDkGbUSdRvqgvw2tsCgONxw/edit?usp=sharing Recommendations per Weapon https://docs.google.com/document/d/1v4a5em93QRZodoPky1dW0Vl4_9pGlB_3MXoj9BUTN_s/edit?usp=sharing Testing Data per Optic https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bUjriRrR7xVe7XSViNZxnhE4siJ3tZabByN2Xn-v8_M/edit?usp=sharing Pictures are not included since most of you should already know darn well what each optic and reticle look like by now Testing Procedure First major conclusion: The only weapons that work flawlessly with any optic are the ones they are paired with. RCO-MX Carbine ARCO-Katiba Rifle MRCO-TRG-21 ERCO-SPAR-16S Beyond that, any example of consistently acceptable performance was down to ballistic characteristics being sufficiently similar Second major conclusion: Within 400m, it really does not matter. Within 500m, only for particularly fast or slow weapons will the markers be incorrect. By extension, any of the 200m reflex sights as well as the NVS will be just fine within their limitations Third Major Conclusion: The only optics that are truly hassle-free are those with adjustable zeroing. If you have the choice, I'd recommend the DMS over any of the 2x fixed optics, as it offers several advantages (4x, idiot-proof rangefinder, adjustable zero 100-1000m, etc) with the only disadvantage being unable to be used with NVGs. Of course, the Nightstalker is also available, but the Nightstalker is more likely than not to be unavailable, and it's kind of a bit too easy in my opinion (so much so the US Army is trying to copy the concept with FWS-I) Fourth Major Conclusion: While the long-barreled marksman rifles (MXM, Mk-I, CMR-76, SPAR-17) can make use of 2x optics, they are really much better suited for adjustable-zero. I'd recommend either the medium range (DMS, MOS) or medium-long range options (AMS, Kahlia). The other 7.62mm rifles, however, are well set for certain 2x optic combinations should you chose to go that way Final Major Conclusion: My recommended optic combinations. These combinations require no (optimal) or little (good) adjustment to achieve consistent hits within their effective range. Grenade launcher variants are included with their rifle and carbine counterparts RCO Optimal: MX Carbine, SPAR-17, CAR-95, CAR-95-1, Navid, Mk20 Rifle, Mk20C, Mk18 ABR, TRG-21 Good: MX SW, SPAR-16, SPAR-16S, TRG-20, LIM-85, Mk14 ARCO: Optimal: Katiba Rifle, Katiba Carbine, MX SW, Mk-I EMR, CAR-95, Navid, Mk20 Rifle, Mk18 ABR, TRG-21, LIM-85 Good: MX Carbine, MXM, SPAR-17, CAR-95-1, Type 115, Mk14 Acceptable: Mk200 MRCO Optimal: CAR-95, TRG-21, Mk14, Katiba Carbine, Mk18 ABR Good: MX Carbine, SPAR-17, CAR-95-1, MXC, Katiba Rifle ERCO Optimal: SPAR-16S, SPAR-16, TRG-20, Mk20C, MXC, Rahim Acceptable: AK-12 (50m slow @500m, 100m@600) Adjustable Zero (DMS, MOS, AMS, etc.) Recommended: MXM, SPMG, MK-I EMR, SPAR-17, Type 115, Zafir, Navid, Rahim, CMR-76, Mk200, AK-12, Mk14 Special Note: Zafir has varying degrees of front sight blockage with any optic other than RCO, which isn't a good match anyhow. Also, ERCO has some front sight blockage with some weapons, namely the Navid, Mk-I, and SPMG I hope you found my investigation useful. I certainly have. Thanks for reading, and I'll see you on the battlefield For those interested, a link to a similar investigation I did for the AT launchers https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oGznRhgYVCrSSCgKP8ZcB-Q9aQCMJVo94tmPjEvml_o/edit?usp=sharing

So this comes with quite a few errors, I recently just got a new pc, and I've been having issues running Arma. I never had issues on my other laptop aside from one I already made a post about, but with this new laptop, I redownloaded Steam and Arma 3, and I tried to play it, it resulted in a Windows bluescreen crash, after working through the Microsoft support agents on their forums, the error was caused by battleeye. Before I reinstalled, I tried to launch the game without battleeye just to see if it works. I then hit "Play without mods" and I got the error in the title, I followed the guide on the forums for that error, and tried to use the Microsoft dependency walker, I opened the Armax64 exe with it and got these errors: https://gyazo.com/eb397d11da809901f3471072b801e664 https://gyazo.com/60ef72d5b6b3f3505211552b4f04944a https://gyazo.com/a91fe4a02075e90df90110282df089c0 Somebody help I just want to play.

Author: JTS Introduction Mission with advanced stealth mechanics. This mission was not planned, but I decided to create it before new year 2019. A little present for fans of stealth. This mission is the base for future stealth missions (I hope). This is the fastest mission I've ever done. But quality is present Description The fight for Thirsk island between insurgents and the Americans has been going on for a couple of years now. About a month ago, the Americans managed to capture the southern part of the island. In the Thirsk city americans placed their armored vehicles and containers with ammunition. This is a serious threat. A couple of hours before the new year, a special forces squad of insurgents got a task to arrange for the Americans true fireworks... Features - Small cutscene - 2 localizations: English & russian - Cold & frosty atmosphere - Dead body detection system - Factors influencing stealth (Reloading weapons, body stance, running / walking speed, body dragging, suspicious action, wearing a uniform, weapon's state (Lowered or not)) - Snowy weather - Possibility to drag dead bodies Notes - It is recommended to enable music in your game settings - Read briefing carefully - NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ACE and other mods, which change the behaviour of AI (like ACE) - No JIP (Join in progress). To avoid arma bug with mission restart - choose the mission again from the mission list - Be sure you disable all not needed mods before you start the mission (Mission will be disabled if using prohibited mods) - To avoid problems, it is recommended to run the mods in a specific order (See steam workshop) - Recommended monitor settings: 1920x1080, 16:9 - Recommended In-Game UI settings: (UI Size: Normal) Credits & thanks Urban (Mission testing) ALIAScartoons (Snow storm script, JDAM bomb script) Screenshots Requirements - CBA A3 - CUP Terrains - Core - CUP Terrains - Maps - CUP Weapons - CUP Units - CUP Vehicles - PLP Containers - Footstep Sound Fix - Forests - Thirsk Island - Footstep Sound Fix - Thirsk Winter Download (Steam workshop) Download (Armaholic)

Hello Community, As the title suggested my question is pretty short. Can you publish a custom made campaign (with chapters and stuff) on the Steam workshop? If that's possible I would be really glad to know how to do that. Thx!

I am new to working with Cfg's and I have been working on adding some more camo textures to a jet however, the option of them appear in-game but when I click on it, the texture stays the same, can someone perhaps point me into the right direct? Also, how can I make a vehicle show up on a certain side, so like if I was to try and get a jet to appear in the editor what would I put in the .Cfg to make it show up. Thanks in advance!

Hi I am new to Arma 3 modding scene, but I have previous experience with another engine. I am wondering where to start - and what resources are available. Such as rigging for clothing and units, but also vehicles mainly tanks. If anyone could point be to tutorials or even some sample resources to use, that would be appreciated! Thanks for any advice!

I've been stuck with a mission I can't finish without your guys help. I know some basic scripting but I don't want to spend days overcomplicating something if there is an easier solution. So here is the simple explanation of a script I'm going for: Let's say there are 10 blocks. Each are called block_1, block_2, etc. Now, after every 60 seconds the script will randomly select one (1) of the blocks and delete it. Then, this script will repeat after another 60 seconds by identifying the remaining nine (9) blocks and then selecting from one of those to delete. This process will continue until only 1 block remains. There is no probability needed, it just needs to remove one block repeatedly in the given time inputted until only one remains. I did find this script posted by Dreadedentity in my searches, but it's based on a probability of each object all at once. Then even if I add a loop to that script there are times where no objects are deleted. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey Guys! I'm creating a mission and I want a task to be SUCCEEDED when a pop up target is shot. I've tried many things like trying to get the task to be succeeded when a gun is fired or when the target does down or comes up. Nothing has worked. I would appreciate any help! Thanks!

Hi all, Some may remember a thread I created last year announcing a tool I created called the Arma Preset Creator, this thread has since been deleted as I thought to re-announce the latest updates and changes. The application was originally hosted in Azure, which I decided to migrate away from several weeks back, and I took this as an opportunity to recreate the application with Angular as a learning experience, with a backend API. Description This aims to bridge the gap between Steam Workshop Items and the Arma 3 Launcher whereby any Steam Workshop items with dependencies require a preset to be created manually for these to be loaded in-game. The application solves this problem by generating the preset HTML file for you, which can then be imported into the Arma 3 Launcher. To use it you simply have to retrieve the URL or ID of the Steam Workshop item and paste that into the site, then hit "Create" and it should download a HTML file which can be imported. Alternatively you could share a link to embed on your website or in your Teamspeak, Discord or Steam communities. This allows people to instantly download a preset without having to retrieve the URL or ID. Sharing a link will generate the preset every time that it is clicked. This means that the preset will always be up to date with the collection or item. Capabilities Generate Arma 3 Launcher Presets based on the following Steam Workshop items Collections Missions with mod dependencies Mods with dependencies Generate embeddable/shareable links to embed on your website or community channel which allows people to download Presets in a single click. Usage Generating Preset Enter the URL or ID for a Steam Workshop item Click Create Import the downloaded HTML file into your Arma 3 launcher. Sharing Preset Retrieve a Workshop item ID and enter it on the website Click "Share" and then "Copy", or manually copy if you prefer Share the link via Steam chat or embed in any platform that your community uses to communicate/share mod info. URLs: Arma Preset Creator Arma Preset Creator - GitHub Privacy Notice: The API will log the Steam workshop item IDs used to generate presets, this is only to track usage statistics and also see the diversity between the types of workshop items which this application is used for. No personally identifiable information is, nor will ever be logged with this application, no cookies are used, and no ads will ever run on the website. Changelog: [31/05/2022]: UI Overhaul (see comments below) [21/05/2022]: Brought this back online under a new domain name. [14/07/2021]: I am no longer affiliated with this domain name as it has been handed over to a different team who will look after it going forward. Some time back I parted ways with Arma and this became less of a hobby for me. The code remains open source under the MIT GPLv3 (since the recent updates) license on GitHub. [08/12/2020]: Allow users to paste a URL linking directly to a Steam Workshop Item, as well as pasting an ID. Having seen some errors from somebody trying to generate a preset for an item with no mods or dependencies, I have added some more descriptive error messages to say why a preset with no items won't be generated. [30/11/2020]: Switched it back on with a new host, having been asked by several people. [27/11/2020]: Ended support for this and have instead uploaded the server side source code to github. [02/02/2019]: Added HTTPS [12/12/2018]: Added support for workshop items whose dependencies contain dependencies. Gracefully, duplicates will be filtered at request time so only unique items will be pulled back which is results in lighter load on the Steam Web API Added integration tests (non client facing) to ensure quality and consistency with the API response when refactoring any of the underlying code. Tests added for the scenarios where a workshop item has No dependencies Top level dependencies Nested dependencies (The request resource has a dependency who also has dependencies) Nested dependencies with duplicates (The request resource has a dependency who also has dependencies, some of which are duplicated in the parent resource) [11/12/2018]: Added some error handling around workshop items which have no children dependencies, this will be rejected as there is no need for this utility to create a preset for a single mod without dependencies. Mods with dependencies will now generate correct presets, whereas previously the parent mod was not included in the final preset file. API reference has updated with a breaking change removing the ArmaPresetRequest and instead passing the SteamWorkshopItem object back into the Arma Generate Preset operation. I will add semantic versioning in the future to protect developers against breaking changes. [10/12/2018]: Presets can now be generated from missions and other workshop item types which have dependencies Workshop item dependencies which no longer exist on the Steam Workshop will be ignored/excluded from the generated preset, and also will not return from the '/api/steam/workshop/publisheditems/{publishedItemId}' operation As this application has been released, I have obsoleted (rather than removed) the '/api/steam/collections/{collectionId}' operation, developers should now use '/api/steam/workshop/publisheditems/{publishedItemId}'

I am in need of a team of people with scripting knowledge thAT can help make a mission or edit existing missions with and add ace for extra realism benefits the mod and or missions Im trying to reincarnate is Tactical battlefield. please contact with replies.
