entering vehicle helps only for first time on next respawn nothing will help and you will stuck in any static weapon . It's really annoying bug as server admins think that your cheating but you really can't do much about it. Please fix this as it's very irritate

After several tests it seems that you can be stuck in any kind of vehicules, but it is harder to reproduce.

Anyone noticed this, or is it just me? :) Maybe it's something weird with my drivers or something?

This is odd, huh? I must admit - I've not noticed it before - but yes, as you say Demongod, I have spotted it elsewhere too!

This is an issue that happens with lots of things when viewed in certain ways.

For instance, if you view a hard shell hanger through the window of another hard shell hanger, the whole other hanger will be this sky blue color.

It can also be seen when riding in the back of the Zamak (covered) - the windows in the back part show the back of the cabin, which appears this blue color.

Added screenshot - notice the light blue patch by the scope.

It's currently working like that - camera shake in difficulty options disables all camera shakes (explosion, vehicle passing, G-loading, scripted...).
Subject to review, but we can't promise anything.

Please see http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=21609#c102215

I don't think so, may be bug. Because now cam shake support 3rd person view.

Reopening, apparently depends on difficulty.

Perhaps it is intentional that it doesn't work on recruit difficulty?

Sorry - typo on my part! I meant addCamShake [100,10,1]. It doesn't work on Recruit difficulty. :)

You are using wrong syntax, should be:
addCamShake [100,10,1];

Please confirm that it works.
Thank you.

Also addCamShake doesn't work with recruit difficulty.

What van do you speak of?

Cool vehicle, I hadn't seen it before. I believe diversity in civilian vehicles is an exellent goal for modders, so devs could spend time on development of the core game. Still upvoted, because it is a nice vehicle, and it would be nice if it would be made by anyone, BIS or community.

It's a shame they've made wrecks for vehicles that haven't been included in the game, at least for the modern vehicles.

It's possible that they originally planned to.

If you go into the Editor and place a "Van Wreck", which can be found under Empty->Wrecks->Van Wreck.

Experiencing desync issues after this patch as well, although not as severe as described. The delay of gunfire in multiplayer is several seconds however and entities (AI, Players, vehicles) zip around all over the place despite a desync value of 0.

Same problem here : Massive Desynch with a value @ 0

Everybody is standing still doing nothing and then all suddenly they all move by kilometers...

I often dies with no gunshots or whatever.

My other games have no lag/desync issues so i assume it's only arma 3 related...

Fixed on devbranch.

Oh guys you're so positive ... No really ... You think a skin is some hours of development for them ?

Yeah, BI has enough on their plates right now. I'm going to guess that this won't happen in a long time if ever.

No, we're just saying that BI is struggling to implement even some of the most important of feature requests, and ignoring anything on the tracker (suggestions, requests, etc) that aren't bugs, so just don't be surprised if they don't get around to this soon.

Maybe a Dev will feel like devoting some spare hours to this, maybe not. It's just too hard to tell.

Is it going to be implemented or something? ..

No.

P drive works again with dev branch, however DevP doesn't seem to fix anything.
I had to move all the files manually to get buldozer to work again.

Updated for correct OS...oops my bad

This is exhausting, for every bug i fix two new come up.
Now buldozer is all fucked up, viewer doesn't work, can't attach anything, the P drive seems to disappear at random.
I don't even know where to start.
Is it too much to ask to have a PROPER STABLE release where i double click on the tools i want to use and everything works as it's supposed to? :\

Buldozer still fails to work even after i followed the guide you provided.
The paths are correct and buldozer is where it's supposed to be, it just keeps saying "External Viewer: Attach Failed. No Viewer Found".
P drive may have disappeared because of my own fault though.
Is there going to be a stable hotfix?

Step by step:

1. Buldozer: I invite you to take a look at the manual, in most of cases, it's a matter of configuration. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Buldozer_Manual
2. P Drive cannot disappear because of the tools (except if you click on Unmount P from arma3tools.exe). Be sure you have nothing else impacting on the subst.

Also, some users have, from time to time, all their substitute drives hidden. To be sure it's not only hidden, open a console and type "explorer p:", if the explorer shows up, it's ok. If not, there is something that unmounts P

Greetings,

We are aware of this issue, an experimental hot fix has been released here:
http://tom4897.info/?attachment_id=2574

Can you confirm me you're using Windows 8 and not Windows 7 and tell me if the hot fix works for you?

Thanks.

Edit: This fix has been added to the development branch

Downloading and replacing them from your website didn't work.

It worked by switching to devbranch but threw me a ton of errors in the dialog window.
I couldn't take any note.

I'm using Win8, yes.
Is this going to be released as a stable branch hotfix too? I don't like using devbranch.

I can also confirm this issue with 80+ players, sometimes we can go an hour or two without any desync at all. All of a sudden the desync will kick in, people can't see anybody else moving & the server has to be restarted.

We get lots of erros like this spammed down the client side log when ever it happens, there seems to be no pattern to it's occurences.

0:48:36 Message not sent - error 0, message ID = ffffffff, to 1657523928 (WOLPAWEGG)
20:48:36 NetServer::SendMsg: cannot find channel #1657523928, users.card=90
20:48:36 NetServer: users.get failed when sending to 1657523928

This is all since the patch update. We never had desync before & have tried all of your config suggestions, unfortunately none have had any effect. This really needs to be fixed as we're losing players daily.

MP is broken, thanks guys.

The weirdest part of the dysync issue is that some servers are affected while some aren't. This has made the players on my server shift to other normal servers.

Right now I have no clue how many of them will come back to my server, which used to have about 500 active players.

I've invested a lot of time and money on my ArmA 3 server. How would you react to the (very likely) player loss of many servers affected by this desync bug? I'd like to hear an official answer from BI Studio.

@Dwarden

guaranteedUpdates = false;

helped a lot on our server as far as i can tell. before this config line we had high desyncs even shortly after a server restart.

with the value set it helped a lot and everything looks smooth again (30 minutes uptime without problems now)
i don't know how it looks with higher playercounts as there are now >10 players due to problems since patch.

maybe the issues occur if the network parameters for the server are tweaked?
we are using modified settings to allow a higher player count on the server.

i update this post if i get updated info's.

I played yesterday and my desync was 0, though I still couldn't see helicopters... Guess its not related to the desync error, or the menu was late or something.

I like many others have been suffering from massive amounts of desync ever since the last update... All of arma 3 MP is completely unplayable for me.. This needs to be fixed ASAP

did you do this on purpose to try and force us to spend more money on standalone?

Same. Desync even with 10-20 people, no matter which server and gametype.

can you guys actually test shit before releasing it

Even if they fix it, I don't think they will release a stable branch update any time soon.

Please help us out here! We all at the Breaking Point community are in shambles over this last update! The desync is absolutely gamebreaking. Thanks guys and good luck finding the problem.

We really need a fix for this one. Now it's almost impossible to play on my dedicated and we're suffering a huge player loss (~30-40 players). Please fix this asap!

I'm having the same problem on my server, After a short while (usually about 40-50mins) the whole server starts to have massive desync, Nothing you have sugested here works, When do you think a fix will be released?
Thanks

They should release a fix very soon

Dwarden nothing seems to be working i've changed my basic.cfg and also put guaranteedUpdates = false;

Doesnt matter how many players are on the server just happens after 1 hour of uptime max desync for most then it may go if we are lucky then it will only come back but it will hit us all

No one can play on any mission. Even on my server there is a very high desync after the last patch released.

I need any solution i can`t play now.

Hi,

I try this line and is same.

I have 100k desyncs.

Hellow Dwarden,

I can try add this line.

Later i tell u.

Sorry bad english.

please add to your server.cfg this option
guaranteedUpdates = false;

tell us if it have any effect
but make sure you tested it in depth to be sure

as it may not help
cause in 1.27 DEV branch there are new additional desync fixes

Same here. Server with >80 people desyncs badly after a while

I am getting the same, running 2 servers and since the update both get desync and lag issues around 40 - 50 players

Same problem here. Before the update there were 0 lag/desync issues on my server with 50 players. Now about 3/4 of the players have a 100k desync and helicopters are glitching and floating in the air.

(As a player) I have the same problem. I only saw about 3-5 people with a normal desync. This might the reason why I can't see helicopters in multiplayer.
