After testing all of the day, effectively it seems to not be the launcher but i don't know why, every workshop mod works fine by the A3 Launcher, but if i use any mod that isn't from workshop, even with the A3 Launcher, they don't work anymore. I'm still trying to find the issue but i still haven't manage to find it.

Edit: I may have found the issue, actually testing to move the "mods" folder to different locations and with different names.

Ok so i definitely found the problem, but yep it is since the update, with Play With Six, my "mods" folder was on a different hard drive disk and were working fine, i tried to move the folder on the same HDD than Arma 3 it was the same, and now i tried with a few mods by creating a "mods" folder inside Arma 3 folder and they are all working fine.

The problem is that i was using a folder on a different HDD to save some space on the one that has Arma 3, as i have plenty of mods that are over the size of Arma 3 itself. So now mods are only detected and read if they are placed in Arma 3 main folder with a folder called "mods".

How can i continue to play with mods being outside of the Arma 3 Folder?

Hello,
could you please send me a few paths of mods that doesn't work. The only issue we're aware of is the one I've described in the first post (that is when there are some characters with diacritic marks).

Effectively, tried to copy/paste a few mods outside my main folder that have "é" and it worked.

So here it's not working: "K:\Téléchargement MSI\Jeux\Arma 3\mods\Six Play"
and here it is: "K:\mods"

This might be unrelated but it might not be...

I too had trouble with no mods loading on a server after 1.60 update. But I use a .cmd file to do it rather than PwS.

I eventually found that a change of the mods bit of the startup line worked:
This was the original (cut for brevity)

-mod="@CBA_A3;@ace;@acre2;@Advanced Sling Loading;@HMDs MOD (Metric);@MCC Sandbox 4 -  Mission Making The Easy Way;"

But this works:

"-mod=@CBA_A3;@ace;@acre2;@Advanced Sling Loading;@HMDs MOD (Metric);@MCC Sandbox 4 -  Mission Making The Easy Way"

Not sure if it's down to moving the quotes to encompass '-mod=' or ditching the final semi-colon, but it seems ArmA's command line parameter parser got a bit fussier than advertised about syntax in 1.60. Especially with regards to spaces and trailing semi-colons.

Hello -dead-
I'm having trouble reproducing your issue: I've tried all combinations and I did not encounter the issue yet. Would it be possible for you to send me two game RPTs with the different mod lines, please?

Hi BIS Wizard ---

Apologies I was wrong about what killed it — I did further testing last night (I'd ditched the original reports as it was fixed) and it was spaces between mods that blew the thing up:

-mod="@CBA_A3; @ace; @Advanced Sling Loading; @HMDs MOD (Metric); @MCC Sandbox 4 -  Mission Making The Easy Way;"

Sorry for the misinformation — I was trying pretty much everything to get it to run for a game, and so I got a bit sloppy — "try three things at once, rinse & repeat".

@Astaroth, this is not a bug, but user's fault and thus not valid, since no problem in the game.
Ticket can be closed.
