If any developers are reading this, official conflict is an amazing mode to play. At the beginning of every game, the performance is 10x better than modded community servers. The issue arises when AI won't de-spawn and over time it causes huge performance issues. This seems like an easy fix with a de-spawn timer on dropped items. I think we would see a big leap in performance on official servers. Best Regards, KLG Footage Of AI Bug

Hey so i recently upgraded my computer Specs: Ryzen 7 7700x Asus 4070 Asus x670-p wifi 32 Gb DDR5 6000mhz Samsung 980 Pro And switched to Windows 11 The game will not open, on opening it crashes. Anybody know what might be causing this? Windows update? Drivers? It was a fresh install, nothing on my drives, the game loads for 5 seconds and then crashes.

I am using a 400mbps internet speed but my download speed in Arma Reforger is still very slow. the server I am joining only has about 2.9gb of mods to download but its taking forever for me to join and to download all the files. all my friends doesnt seem to have any issue and were on the internet provider so I don't think that is the issue. if anyone know how to fix this, please help. it is very irritating.

I dont know what im doing wrong here, i followed a video step by step and can't get it to read the CONFIG file, the .bat works and launches the server but thats as far as i can get. Heres the 2 files i have.

Will a large .rpt file cause problems down the road even if most things look fine in smaller tests we've done? log file size is 1.85mb https://paste.ofcode.org/jTcyRe9SyeLH5tE2AsqsmE

My brother and I are attempting to use GTXgaming as a server host and although we got it to run once with mods, it crashed. He ran it last night and is saying - "The assets used set off exploding all at once then I guess Helios took off somehow with no pilots so stuff it normally shouldn’t" Seeing that there are some lines of warning that some things don't exist. Is this something to do with whether we have it on the server side or client side? Any help is appreciated, Thank you for your time

it says addon 'A3_data_f_loadorder' requires addon 'A3_missions_f' then crashes my game it did this before with different addons what do i do can someone help? should i reinstall? also its for my mods.

Whenever I launch Arma (with and without mods) it pops up with the Arma 3 logo to load and gets stuck on "loading core configs" I've tried verifying the files and all of that with nothing working.

Hi, I bought the new DLC CSLA but it's not working (installed/downloaded on steam. See picture as proof I have the DLC in my Steam folder (the DLC's I bought/own). All the new DLC's from Art of war till DLC CSLA is not working for me (I bought Art of War before but didn't work so i refunded). I cannot even find them on my launcher DLC list (which i should be able to see which one I owe and which not. - My drivers are all updated - I have all the necessary drives from steam and for the ARMA 3 Launcher

Hey guys! My friend has been having issues with his arma 3. He has arma via steam with a few of the DLC's. His game decides to crash whenever any sort of flying vehicle near him (in his render distance) takes off. This happens for modded and un-modded arma 3. the error that crashes his PC is: Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 8000A90E Specs: 16GB DDR4 RAM, i7-8700 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 what we tried to do to fix it: reinstalled all of arma 3 and addons/DLC's/mods, reinstalled Visual C++ 2013 x86 & x64, reinstalled DirectX, checked and repaired corupt filesystems, reinstalled, repaired & updated drivers for GPU, updated Windows 10, updated other drivers that might affect arma, changed memory alocator to tbb4malloc_b, verified the integrity of files, ran a basic windows scan for viruses (in case that was doing something); Starting to run out of ideas. any help? contact me if you require the crash logs/reports/dumps thanks in advance ~TrojanLij

Hi ! First, I'm new to arma 3 servers, so I'm sorry if I miss something obvious 🙂 So, I'm trying for about a week to create an Arma3 server with mods. But as I'm new, I wanted to create a vanilla server first, and then try to add some mods. I've follow this guide for create the server : https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Dedicated_Server#Instructions_.28Windows_o.2Fs.29 I've first tried on a Windows server 2008, and then a Windows server 2016 (to see if the error I met was due to the version of Windows Server). When I launch my server, I can see it in server browser of A3, but when I want to join it, it seem it don't load (staying in the tanoa wallpaper). I've looked at my server's console, and it's spamming : "Mission test3.Altis.pbo read from bank." I've seen in other forums that it is not a fatal error and that the server could run correctly with it, but searching in my rpt file, I can't find anything else. I don't know what it could be, I need some help. Thanks, Here is my rpt file : (hiden mean I've hide it manually)

As title states, however, it's for a friend. I'm trying to help a friend join a dedicated server on which I'm playing. (Not my server however, myself and two others can join this server for reference) I'm wondering what are the best steps to take to troubleshoot this issue? He attempts to join game directly through Steam, and gets server not responding. I gave him the server IP address to connect directly, and it does nothing. The server doesn't appear in the list when any of us are on. Hopefully somebody has been through this exact situation that can help but any answer may be useful! Thank you in advance.

After launching Arma gold for the first time I am greeted with this: https://ibb.co/c48H9w Any suggested fixes? I assume It's probably direct x but I am not sure how to check.

Hi, I'm running on a MAC OSX 10.10.5 Yosemite I installed the legacy port 1.76 from here: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Experimental_Ports Enter access code: Arma3LegacyPorts. This should unlock the legacyports - Legacy Build (1.76 - ports). When I launch in Steam, It doesn't even make it to the splash screen I just get a crash reporter. I have ran this game before on the same machine which was a while back this year, yet now it's unplayable. Any help would be appreciated.

I just got Arma 3 yesterday for the steam autumn sale, I played a good bit of arma 2 and a lot of dayz mod. I immediately asked my friend who actively plays exile how to start playing it and after the game itself was done downloading I started downloading A3 launcher and the mods required for the servers. Roughly 6 hours and 50 GB later I was able to press the play button instead of the download button. But as I tried to launch it I received an error message saying I couldn't load a specific Hummer skin, my friend informed me this is usual and I pressed close. Directly after, before anything that resembled loading into the server started, I received a notification that said "you are banned" I had no clue what the could be for. But my friend and I decided we would try another server as it was very late and no admins on the server could help us out. We have since tried 2 other servers and both also gave me a message instantly saying that I was banned without even loading in. I would be very upset if an issue with arma 3 is causing me not to be able to play the game I just bought. Thanks for any and all help.

hey guys ive just generated my layers in Map frames, after I click okay I get a error file popping up saying "11:47:21: Rvmat conf - LayerRvmatCFG.cpp bool CLayerRvmatCFG::Open( const char* filename = "p:\jkm\jkm_island\data\jkm_island_dirt.rvmat" ) Source file cannot be opened... 11:47:21: Rvmat conf - LayerRvmatCFG.cpp bool CLayerRvmatCFG::Open( const char* filename = "p:\jkm\jkm_island\data\jkm_island_dry_grass.rvmat" ) Source file cannot be opened... 11:47:21: Rvmat conf - LayerRvmatCFG.cpp bool CLayerRvmatCFG::Open( const char* filename = "p:\jkm\jkm_island\data\jkm_island_forest_pine.rvmat" ) Source file cannot be opened... 11:47:21: Rvmat conf - LayerRvmatCFG.cpp bool CLayerRvmatCFG::Open( const char* filename = "p:\jkm\jkm_island\data\jkm_island_grass_green.rvmat" ) Source file cannot be opened... 11:47:21: Rvmat conf - LayerRvmatCFG.cpp bool CLayerRvmatCFG::Open( const char* filename = "p:\jkm\jkm_island\data\jkm_island_soil.rvmat" ) Source file cannot be opened..." what do I have to do over come this ?

Every time I launch Arma 3 it gives me an "The Handle is invalid" message. After I click OK it says if I want to launch it without the Battleye. It never happened before until now. Anyone know how to fix this issue?

error thrown on server OS ''include file\x\cba\addons\main\script_macros .hpp not found." this only happens after we login and try to use #missions to change maps or missions. Since discovery i have; 1. updated/reinstalled CBA 2. reinstalled arma3server 3. updated "force_update_app 233780 validate" 4. moved cba in the load order to the top we have been forced to manually shut down and change the loaded mission at start to play different mission, obviously this is a hassle and not efficient. if anyone knows a fix please let me know. thanks again.

NOTE: This is for the STEAM EDITION. After playing Arma 3 for a while (quite long), i wanted to go back to Arma 2 and also I44 for a while, but I was having problems getting the DLCs to show properly, and a few error messages to go away. After trial and error, I manage to find the problems. Problem that I got and was solved(Can't remembered the exact message but the gist of it): Application Load error 5:00000065434 (If I remembered the error properly) MISSING STRING!!! Application/Game cannot be found. You installed the DLC, but it shows the LITE version of the DLC in your expansions menu. (This is actually due to though you installed the game in Steam, the content itself has not been integrated in Arma 2 directory which is why you need to run the DLC itself from Steam) Here Goes: 01. Install Arma 2 02. Run Game 03. Install Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead 04. Run Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead 05. Army of Czech Republic should start installing to A2OA. 06. Install Arma 2 British Armed Forces 07. Run Arma 2 British Armed Forces 08. British Armed Forces should start installing to A2OA. 09. Run Arma 2 Private Military Company 10. Private Military Company should start installing to A2OA. 11. Game should run with all DLCs properly. (Sequence of DLCs no longer matters after OA installation; Just make sure that you run the DLC from Steam first before running with other lanuchers or even OA itself. That means running the game British Armed Forces on Steam and not the Arma 2 or Arma 2 OA from Steam, for e.g.) For me, I use withSix to run my mods after that. Running the game first is just a way to initialize the running of some of the required installations. Hope this is useful to anyone having any problems on Arma 2 Steam. PS: If you manage to solve your problem from my instructions, do drop a reply so I can see that this topic is being useful. Thanks! :D
