Hello, A friend and i recently started playing Arma again after a few years and im amazed by the new 3den Editor, i only knew the old one and never bothered to learn it properly. Now i wanted to create a custom coop scenario on a modded map with some mods also. Those mods are: 3den Enhanced AGC - Advanced Garbage Collector Automatic ViewDistance Better Convoy (NOT USED in Scenario) BWMod (Mainly Used for Blufor units) CBA_A3 CUP Terrains - Core CUP Terrains - CWA CUP Terrains - Maps (Chernarus2020 used in Scenario) CUP Terrains - Maps 2.0 CUP Units (Mainly Used for Opfor units) CUP Vehicles CUP Weapons Enhanced Movement Enhanced Movement Rework JSRS SOUNDMOD JSRS SOUNDMOD - CUP VEHICLES MOD SOUND SUPPORT JSRS SOUNDMOD - CUP WEAPONS MOD SOUND SUPPORT Specialist Military Arms (SMA) Version 2.7.1 Switch weapons while moving When it comes to the way my friend connects to me (im hosting), we use Hamachi, because for whatever reason (tried everything in the book for UPnP and Port Forwarding - didnt work) i cant use anything else. Besides some hicups we managed to get over by making firewall exceptions etc. it worked perfectly for Vanilla Maps and Scenarios. Also when i first started building my Mission with the first few Tasks and Triggers i showed it to my friend and he could join no problem. Now i finally finished my mission and wanted to try it with my friend, but he can't join. What happens is, that i host the game through Lan and on the create mission screen i select Chernarus 2020 and my Mission. When my friend joins i get the message that he connected, but he is stuck on the Stratis loading screen and can't get to the Unit Select screen. On my side he is shown grey and only after some time his ping changes from 0 to usually like 25. If i assign him myself to a unit (only two available) and start the mission he still doesnt change from the stratis screen until i actually start the Mission by pressing continue on the briefing screen and ignoring the message that not all players are ready. Once i load into the game my friend usually gets either a message that the Mission Data is being downloaded (which sometimes works and sometimes gets stuck or shows 0kbs out of 0kbs) and after downloading is stuck on "Receiving Data". If i look at his character ingame it shows his username behind the units role e.g. Rifleman (Friend). Now we tried him getting the mission files from me directly and placing them into his mpmissions folder (including one very basic script i wrote), but no luck. Curiously when closing the hosted game and restarting it my friend can join vanilla games with missions (even little custom ones) no problem, also i build a little test mission on the same map (Chernarus2020) with just a few triggers, commands and tasks as a test and this one he can also join no problem. We don't understand what is wrong. I'll include his and mine .rpt file and also the Mission + script if anyone wants to have a look at the Scenario im trying to build. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1YPRdyf97Imw03thshXZlsW5_grB2IMCR?usp=drive_link in this drive you have the Mission and both .rpt files. Any Help would be greatly appreciated. A few things we still haven't tried out is resetting both our routers, reinstalling the game + mods and maybe building the Mission from scratch step by step and testing when my friend can't join. Thank you.

Hello, A friend of mine and I have been trying to play together via Hamachi. He plays on Mac, I play on Windows which means we have to reverse to a beta branch (1.82). The problem, however is that he we get stuck in an infinte loading screen whilst trying to connect. Whoever is hosting gets the message "friend is connecting", but thats it. It just doesnt go on, there is only the loading screen of the island without the usual loading bar. Whats really weird is that both of us can connect to another friend, who plays on windows and also hosts via hamachi. We have tried basically everything google had to offer on the subject, from creating a new hamachi network, to port forwarding, tweaking the hamachi properties, creating a server via nitrado and using other vpn services, but nothing worked so far. Help would be very much appreciated. Even if you only play on windows: if you had any similar experiences with being stuck in a loading screen, pls answer cause I am really out of ideas at this point and could need some advice 🙂

Hi everyone! My name is Gani and im playing Arma 3 since october 2016. Playing Arma always was fun for me but i got bored alone quickm, so I got my buddy to buy the game too. We played for hours CTI KOTH even Altis Life. BUT we soon got bored (one year later) in Ocotber 2017 iwanted to do something big but of course with only 2 players so I loaded up the Arma 3 editor with mods from the steam workshop and after working on the missions for hours i wanted to play them with my bud, BUT we didnt have a server and I didnt have and still dont have the money to rent a server every month with things like netflix psn and other things just sucking so much money i could not and still cant afford it so we found Evolve which we used till the end of 2018 when it got shut down still dont know why. Since then we tried to host a server through hamachi but we still cant get it to work and thats why i need help any advice of how to make hamachi work with the game. if somebody knows what to do but dosent belive me that i bought the game here is a link to my steam libary: https://steamcommunity.com/id/ston219 ty very much for ur help !

Dearest Arma 3 community, I don’t know if this is the right place for it, I hope so and I'm sorry if not. A friend of mine and I had some major issues running Arma 3 with Hamachi to play some missions. Problem description: If we try to run Arma 3 over Hamachi, which worked just fine in the past, we can't join each other. He can see my server but if he's trying to connect to it, it just keeps connecting until he gets a time out or he disconnects immediately after he joined. Sometimes he’s able to connect but doesn’t have a menu. So, I manually assign him and start the game, my game starts completely normal but his game takes ages to load and if it's loaded he's suddenly in the water of Tanoa, no matter which map we are actually playing. This error occurs since a few weeks, the last time it actually worked was two weeks ago since then we couldn't get it running again. What we already did: • Checking for corrupted files in Arma 3 • Reinstalled Arma 3 • Reinstalled Hamachi • Both several times. • Deactivated our firewalls • Deactivated our Antivirus programs We also did this because we thought it might be Hamachi: http://help.logmein.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/Resolving-Hamachi-Request-Timed-Out Resolving Hamachi "Request Timed Out" for Windows Firewall Also, we deleted every workshop mod we had except for the map we wanted to pay, which was a BCTI mission in Altis. Before the issue occurred, the mission worked fine. We also tried playing the standard apex protocol missions. However, the same Issue occurred. We also checked if it's a problem with the IPv4 but there's no problem. I just wanted to note: Everything works just fine when we were playing Arma 2. Our PC's His: Win 10 (1803) intel i5 8600k Nvida gtx 1070 8GB 16 GB DDR4 Ram Internet connection 150 Mbits/s Mine: Win 10 (1803) intel i7 7700 Nvidia gtx 1060 6GB 16 GB DDR4 Internet connection 400 Mbits/s We couldn't find anyone with the same problem, so we thought we ask right here at the source. If someone recommend to change the ports of my router - I won’t do that. Why? Because I think it should be possibly to play games in coop without changing gaming ports which works just fine for every other game. So, I hope you guys have a fix for this problem. Thanks for everyone helping us out on this problem
