Please please please bohemia you need to sort out being able to ban xbox players. It is sullying the experience for many people. Allowing the, although few, players who keep on trolling by Shooting out tires on supply trucks/destroying vehicles at spawn hindering match progress, and now, with free building, using up supply's at the start of the match too stop progress. Also using grenades to TK at spawn and then themselves respawning to avoid negative ranking to avoid a temp ban. Spamming proximity and radio with nonsense and racist comments, spaming text chat with racist comments. Please do something or at least update us on some progress to fix this issue. You will lose players otherwise and with the limited amount of people playing I don't think you can afford to lose many. Today I hopped on, as soon as I joined I noticed a players name and knew the match and matches thereafter would be filled with trolling and greifing. I knew that once that player would be temp banned eventually he would just return with on of his many alt accounts, of which I have captured video evidence of from a previous match. The guy then when on an alt and did the same stuff to the opposing side. The same game there were at least three people actively tolling and greifing make gameplay pretty much impossible. Fix it it.

Hello gents, I am having an issue with Custom Images from Eden editor. I have followed all steps(using ACE Slideshow, and the innit) this setObjectTextureGlobal [0,"Images\Image.jpg"]; for changing billboards images. In these steps, you put all the images that you want to be able to found inside the actual mission file. Everything works once I'm in the editor and testing it, the ACE Slideshow works perfectly fine and all the custom images I put on signs work. However, once I transfer the .pbo file onto my dedicated server, log in as an admin, set the mission, it loads, I select the role I want to be on, then I just get an infinite loading screen. I also tried uploading the entire folder that includes the .jpg pictures into my server mission file, however, the admin panel I'm using won't allow anything but .pbo files onto it. Anything helps, thanks

Hey all, I'm currently trying to figure out how to blacklist a specific mod from my server, as opposed to using verifysignatures or any type of whitelist. Can this be done? Thanks for any info.

Hi i am running Altis Life v5.0.0.0 I am setting up my admin menu with buttons so the admins have access to functions fast. I am looking for a way for the admins to impound a Vehicle via the button. Impound rather than destroy as the players will lose their vehicles. I have a button setup in my admin menu. Thank you

The Old School Players Community - Looking For Help The Old School Players Community has recently given birth to a new gaming server, ARMA LIFE. As an outcome are now understaffed. We need help with development, whitelist policing, and maybe marketing.

Hello recently have bought a server from gamingdeluxe and well yeah mission files in and the idea was that i have set mods always essential and a set of mods optional. However when i add the mods into the command line that i want essential. some of them stay as optional. is there anyway i can literally FORCE the server to load these mods. my command line looks like this (-enableHT "-name=Arma3" "-profiles=instance" "-cfg=instance\basic.cfg" "-config=instance\server.cfg" "-bepath=D:\xxgames\TylerB\18571\battleye" -ip=81.19.208.17 -port=2300 "-mod=@CBA_A3;@ACE3;@ACEX;@RHSUSAF;@RHSAFRF" -autoinit) however any other mod i add to this command line does not appear as forced by the server. Yes the mod's is in the root directory of the server yes the keys are correct and in the right folder. verify signiture is on V2 Battleye is ON Its a custom mission using rhs etc i want to add the following to the command line to make ESSENTIAL --> splendid smoke backpackonchest tfar beta vsm all in one however when these are in the command line.. the launcher screen either says "no mods required by server" or they arnt forced and listed only as optional. PS. im not like advanced at this but i think what i have done is correct.

hello. :) ill try to keep this short but i had a few ideas i wanted to share. myself, and allot of my friends, are pilots in arma 3. we have decent computers, so we prefered flying with increased view distance, but since the admin debug has been disabled we no longer can see very far at all since were stuck at 1500 view distance in public zeuses. this has affected our ability to scout ahead, accurately lock with weapons, and engage from greater ranges/heights. with that in mind allow me to suggest three possible fixes for this problem. solution 1: if there was an option to set the default view distance for a server in the parameters, before the mission begins, it would allow players to decide their comfortable distance to balance performance and visual quality, and aleviate the constant fog plagueing pilots in public zeuses. solution 2: if it were somehow possible to code the game to allow a players personal view distance setting in their options menu to decide their client side view distance level, without it adversely affecting other players or destableizeing the engine, it would mean that the guy with a very powerful pc could have maximum view distance without causeing me to crash and vice versa. solution 3: this one is a bit iffy but ment as a last resort if previous two are impossible. perhaps if the zeus had a view distance module that runs the same remote exec script used before debug console was lost, it would allow for editing of view distance mid mission, and the players can kick the zeus in worst case of him refuseing to lower it if they are experienceing issues. if you have read this i thank you for your time and hope you will consider my request. sincerely 501st airborne division (arma 3 unit)

I cannot see any official Servers being online anymore

Currently are there any admin commands for server such as kick, ban, give, time set?

anyone willing to share how they set up reserved slots for their dedicated server? Im trying to build a 1-3 slots reserved for admin & mods to always be able to join as well as set up a restricted Zeus slot that only authorized people can access. thanks!

Since the last update (or 2nd last), every time i start the game via the launcher (with battleye enabled) windows UAC pops up and wants admin rights for arma3battleye.exe this is definitely new and annoying since my guest pcs over here are all running without admin accounts i have to put in the password every time... every other battleye enabled game i know doesn't want admin rights... please fix it.

I need help with securing my server configuration. I had a public server configured on a Windows DS and running ZGM Master Altis. I logged on today and I played for a bit and then I was banned from my own server. I then found two bans in the bans.txt. But I had a strong password on the admin and voting was disabled. I am including my server configuration below, and I need someone to look this over and give me some help with securing my DS. I have stopped and restarted the server, but I have made it private from now on. I guess I need to learn from this experience. // // server.cfg // // STEAM steamport=2440; steamqueryport=2441; // GLOBAL SETTINGS hostname = "Tactical gaming Arma 3 server. | Wombat Servers"; // The name of the server that shall be displayed in the public server list password = ""; // Password for joining, eg connecting to the server passwordAdmin = "*************"; // Password to become server admin.
