Description

Its really hard to know what file cause the error showed in editor, menu, etc.
I suggest using this method :


As you may think its obvious what cause this error (m203), you would be suprised, as this is one of 4 compatibility files.
What about error showing in menu since 1.62 about EVERY content containing weapons or vehicles? Tracking it down is easy as i can alt-tab to logs, but seriosly? How about user that dont know the logs even exist? Its much faster method, and would improve whole error detection.

Hi, @Tsnfsdnfkjsdn

Would I ask you about your game report? Path: C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\Arma 3 If your game crashes, I´ll ask you about your crash dumps. You can get them via troubleshooting report in Launcher.

Btw. Did you try some common solutions like a verify game cache integrity, change profile or re-install Arma 3?

Last thing, could you make some steps to reproduce (how the bug has occured). I assume that occurs when you launch the game but I can be mistaken.

My only advice to you is to disable all mods and start adding them back one by one until you find the culprit. This bug is often caused by ACE, ACE3, CBA or RHS mod.

Don´t worry, we will investigate your issue but it takes some time.

Thank you for cooperation

disable all mods and start adding them back one by one until you find the culprit.

Thing is, this would take ages (i got 50 mods active)

Issue is made by compatibility files, BUT I DONT KNOW IT BEFORE I OPEN LOG FILE.

Nothing file is needed for you, all i wanted in this ticket, is path fo file causing error in green zone (marked on image).
For example "mods/@addonX/addons/config_addonX.pbo/config.sql"
Beacuse without it we DONT KNOW WHAT FILE IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM, we need to switch alt-tab to log files, you know what i mean?

Repro? Download Ni-arms AK pack and other weapon packs (from same author). Now try to localise the issue when all mods are active.

Hi, @Tsnfsdnfkjsdn

I was a little bit confused. If I´d ask you next time add note [Feature request] in title, please. Feedback Tracker added your ticket to Crashes category and after getting your respond I was noticed the Severity. Don´t know why that happened.

We´ll make a discussion about your request but it´s a very hard solution (due to Arma 3 complexity) and I´m afraid not possible to make it. Obviously, it´s a good point but a little bit unsolvable.

Thank you for your suggestion.
