Hello,
I have checked the reports and it seems that you a maxMem parameter set to 1.
Please run the launcher and select the Parameters option, then go to the Advanced tab and select Advanced and check whether you have the maxMem parameter enabled and its value.
If it is enabled with value 1, either disable this param or set a higher value for it. That should resolve the issue.
Thank you
Looks like a problem with default launcher. Just opened arma3.exe. Worked fine.
Big thanks, problem has been solved.
Thank you. I happened to catch a similar response of yours within another bug report elsewhere, but not before I attempted to download the daily developer snapshots for several days using ADSL.
Returning to downloading RC still ran about six hours, but unlike the impossible 6-24 hour download times of the Developer snapshots.
I thought the ARMA 3 Tools GameUpdater was an incremental update program, similar to RSync or Git? Anyways, we can close this bug as I'm sure everybody his on the right track, or (for all I know) I think the right track.
Thanks for your attention concerning the quality, although a multi-platform game is almost just as important. (An unrelated note, I'm literally pulling my hair out after working with a software tuner within Windows, even while trying to desperately utilize the software tuner tools within Cygwin.)
Suggest closing this bug, as it's too general, and the purpose was to highlight quality issues.
Hello,
sorry for the late reply. RC version should be receiving almost daily updates up to the point where it is going to be released as we want to make sure that major bugs, both old and newly emerged, are all fixed and tested before its release.
Hello,
we are sorry you are experiencing issues with our game.
Are you running any mods? If so please try to disable them. Should the problem occur again, please export your game log files from the launcher (again, without any mod).
The mdmp + rpt +bidmp files should be located in this directory:
C:\<username>\AppData\Local\Arma 3
Attach the generated files to the ticket. If the files are too big please use some free file sharing service.
Additionally, make sure to verify your game data via Steam.
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335
After that, please try to run your Arma as an admin.
As for the issue with the mission editor loading. Did you edit the file manually after creating the mission?
Thank you
One, if not all of these bugs have already been posted at one time or another. (ie. "Error compiling shader PSSpecularAlpha" for using old mods from older ARMA 3 versions.) So since my download took a long time over DSL, a lot of these bugs are already going to be already in processing.
The mods were all disabled within the stable version, but starting the new version experienced some Workshop mods still being enabled. (ie. @Nam) This required using the RC snapshot arma3launcher.exe to further ensure that all Workshop mods were further deactivated. (ie. @Nam)
My main point was, I encountered numerous bugs or stability issues with this RC version within a very short period of time. (No need to apologize, as I'm volunteering. ;-) Since I experienced so many bugs, and not being able to really spend much time at all for further bug searching within the 3D world, felt it was important to report this aspect.
My question was, is the RC snapshot going to see any incremental updates, or should those of us testing just move onto the daily development snapshots.
On the flip, although I was only able to spend 20 seconds within the 3D editor, I'm impressed with the engineering and direction of this 3D editor. And what coding style I have seen, albeit most is proprietary, I am also somewhat impressed with the clean coding style and the direction of a multi-platform environment.
I have a gut feeling with the bugs I've witnessed so far, I should definitely migrated to daily development snapshots, as most are likely going to be fixed.
Hello,

Hello,
we are sorry for the trouble you are having with the game.
One of the possible reasons for this message is running Steam as an administrator and starting Launcher as a regular user. If this situation occurs, Launcher may display a "Updates unavailable - Steam is not running" message in its status.
Possible solutions:
-Run the game from Steam client by clicking on the Play button (not from a shortcut nor directly from an executable).
-Exit Steam and run as a regular user (instead of running it as an administrator).
-Run the game or the Launcher from a shortcut or from an executable as an administrator.
-Restart Steam.
-Restart the computer.
Verifying the game cache might also help.

Please let us know if any of this have helped.
Thank you
I have try all of these and they don't work at all D:
Removed "note that tail disappears" from original repro steps. It was misleading and has nothing to do with this issue.
I reopened the other ticket. I thought, these are the same issues. Sorry for that.
My other ticket
http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=27858
has been closed, claiming that THIS ticket has more recent information.
I feel like this is a wrong decision - these are two, separate issues which is why I created two tickets. I only used the same attached data.
Reopened the ticket.
Thanks.
Yes, I'm running mods. The mods aren't causing an issue with the game itself, I believe it's the workshop. Again, it's re-downloading all 21 GB of workshop mods, even though they are already up-to-date and in the correct folder.
This may be a Steam/workshop issue, but I thought I'd check here first in case anyone has any info.
Hello,
we are sorry you are experiencing issues with our game.
Are you running any mods? If so please try to disable them. Should the problem occur again, please export your game log files from the launcher (again, without any mod).

Hello,
unfortunately it might actually be the Steam/Workshop issue. We are currently checking out what the problem might be and what can be done on our side to prevent it.
Spike family rockets. All Spike rockets has the combined system of a sight and trajectory of flight. Spike family rockets. All Spike rockets has the combined system of a sight and trajectory of flight. Control during flight is available, change of the purpose in flight, self-destruction in flight. In total within the direction of missile launch. Missile launch in the opposite direction it is impossible, only in Arma3)). We hope it will correct.

In couple the Titan and the UAV laser it is possible to lock on any target.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riFhhBDtvEs&feature=youtu.be
In couple the rocketeer of AT and the operator UAV it is possible to take a laser point. The operator UAV can direct flight of the rocket to the purpose. This video isn't present, but it works.
The spike isn't like the javelin, sure they can be compared but its a completely different system and works in a different way.
Incase you didn't know the Titan AT is based on the Mini Spike, not the Javelin.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spike_(missile)
Well you should also be able to view the missile in flight using the imaging infrared seeker in the tip of the missile and adjust lock and all that cool shit.
But as this is only a video game so making it work completely realistic might be difficult for the developers as they have no clue how it works in real life anyway.
Since when can for example a javelin change the lock? This are Fire and Forget missiles that do not have any adjustance after beeing released(not talking about MCLOS). I know that the Top attack is missing but still the systems are pretty acurate.
"You don't need a Heat source you need a temperature contrast means something that's colder or warmer."
That's why I am saying that it should be possible to lock onto buildings as well, metal buildings in the sun are also in contrast to the shadow around it...
The missile should make no difference between metal on buildings and metal on vehicles ^^
I agree on all things but one. The targeting on the cold Ifrits is possible. You dont need a Heat source you need a temperature contrast means something thats colder or warmer.
Hello Dlang,
are you still experiencing this issue?
Cannot reproduce on RC. I think this has been fixed. Also that window bug has been fixed on RC
Okay, it's this building : https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/File:Arma3_CfgVehicles_Land_Airport_right_F.jpg
You would put a picture of the building? (If possible, position on the map)
Making it easy to find :)
Same issue with GeneralStore01 from CUP.
In Vanilla A3, at the North Side, the doors are locked. Also, if you shoot at windows at this side of the airport, you can't break them. On the other side you can.
Hello,
could you please be more specific about which airfield/building/doors are causing this issue? (for example Altis Airfield > Main Terminal > Doors on the North side of the building). It will help us a lot in order to find the correct door and fix the issue.
Did you notice similar problem in any other building?
Any info you are able to provide will be appreciated.
Thank you
Hello,
please try to start Launcher in a safe mode (you enter it by holding Ctrl+Shift while starting the game) and let it disable hardware acceleration.
That is right. With the attributes field all marked objects just rotate around their own center and not one common center.
The only solution I can imagine is to add a rotation option to a custom layer. So it might possible to rotate all objects in that layer around one big center with the help of the attributes.
But honestly, I really think that the rotation widget/hold shift key function is more comfortable and faster.
But if you want to rotate the center of all marked objects exactly for 24 or 73 degrees you need another option.
Well, not really, although this layers are really helpful ! What I was thinking of, is more like : let's say I want to build a rather complicated structure (like a gun rack), involving objects I rotated because i want them fixed on the wall. When I finished, I would like to group it (the rack/support and the guns)into one solid object, so I can rotate it, place it or anything in one piece.
I know I could just select them all and rotate them, but not precisely with the "rotation" field in this selection attribute, because if I do that, it will rotate all my objects independently from the others.
I feel it would improve Eden to have this ability !
But thanks though for your advices !
This new editor is a beauty !
Hmm, your intention is already possible with Eden.
I just opened the editor (todays development branch), placed a wall and four targets in front of the wall (like a shooting range).
I marked all five objects, pressed the Space key (activation for the Rotation widget) and was able to rotate all objects. They acted like they were one solid object and they turned around one center.
You can even hold the shift key to turn all marked objects like one solid object.
Have you recently tried to turn several objects at once? If I didn't understand you wrong you want what I just described. Just try it for yourself.
Best regards.
I agree it is possible to rotate them like one solid object, but just with the mouse, not with the "rotation" field in the attributes (even when activated the field), which is a lot more precise and take less time. They will rotate oddly.
But the rotation is not my only point of interest, the ability to group things could be convenient in a lot of situation. It's a kind of relief to group a structure you just spent hours to build. That way you know you won't mess it selecting an element without noticing. Or else.
Hello, you already can group items.
Just take a look at the bottom left of your editing screen. There you can find a trash icon and two folder icons.
With those +folder icon you can create a layer and put all the stuff (drag and drop) in you want to have in the group.
For example:
You place a table somewhere -> it will get added to the "empty" layer on the entities page.
Now you place some stuff on the table (PC elements, displays, batteries etc.). These items will be stored in the same "empty" layer.
Now you create a new layer (+folder) and name it e.g. "Pc stuff". You can mark all these new items and drag them from the "empty" layer to the "Pc stuff" layer.
I hope you were looking for something like that?
The object and the table are in a building, his height is 1 meter, maybe the problem is that ?
I've already do that, that not work
Same issue...
Just disable simulation for the objects your placing down in the attributes
Hello,
thank you for your feedback.
Unfortunately I was not able to reproduce this issue.
Is this issue still present on the latest RC version?
Did you try verifying your game files via Steam?
Here's how to do that:
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335
Thank you
Hello,
this issue should be now fixed in the current Steam Dev as well as the RC. Could you please check it out. Please let us know if the issue is still present.
Thank you
Ditto here.
Here's a copy/paste of the error GUI dialog. CTRL-C over the error GUI and then paste elsewhere using CTRL-V. Copy & Paste via keyboard.
Upon final exit, I get a further error:
Exit Code: 0x000000001 UNABLE_TO_INIT_DXGI
Likely an unrelated error.
Verified resolved. Not a very useful message for most users, but doesn't crash the game anymore. :)
Tested in 1.56 stable, working as expected!
Internal 1.57.134593 (numbering is basically the same as in Dev branch)
I'm sorry for we're unable to reproduce the issue (AI doesn't take longer than e.g. 5 sec)
AI vehicles get randomly stucked at editor placed waypoints when playing a mission on a dedicated server.
What is the approx. repro rate?
Does it happen only with the delays? Or should it happen when we just let them cycle few waypoints?
Oukej, what server/client version were you using for the tests?
That happens when they are fleeing
Is that expected behavior? Seems counter to the actual act of fleeing, standing still is the polar opposite?
Honestly it's been a while since I was on dev branch but I didn't think there was a proper dedicated server build available (this only occurs in dedicated environments).
Is there an appID I can use in steamcmd to build a test box?
Edit: Did some more reading and got it working, seems to work fine on dev branch, no issues at all. Guess we wait for 1.56 tomorrow in stable and see how it works out there.
Single player with helicopters - helis are floating in one place and ignoring enemy fire.
That happens when they are fleeing
Single player with helicopters - helis are floating in one place and ignoring enemy fire.
Just to clarify, this happens regardless of how the waypoints are created.
Scripted / Editor placed both have the same issue, assume it's a engine problem somewhere.
I had this as well, although it was random and the next time we played the same mission it didn't happen. Units would get stuck at a waypoint for a couple of minutes (two or so) before continuing on. This was on a dedicated server as well.
In such case, nearestObjects does the job! and have a look at nearEntities as well (faster).
Perhaps instead of using the original tank object for position, you can use array position which is offset from the tank and so that when you have another tank closer to that position it would return correct object. In the mean time you can also add a check that the object returned is not the same object as your original tank.
This sounds like intended behaviour.
"nearestObject [Tank1,'Tank']" means: "the tank nearest to Tank1's POSITION", not "the nearest other tank to Tank1".
Maybe this command could use a little expanding though. Like some commands have an optional parameter for ignored objects ->
"nearestObject [Tank1,'Tank',ignoreObj]"
Can't confirm with the current RC version. 1.56.134375
Worked fine with Marshall and T-100 at least.
edit. NO! Doesn't work after all.
You can move stuff between vehicle inventory and your containers & slots. But if you try to move, for example, NVG from backpack to its slot, icon doesn't appear there. But if you exit the vehicle and open the inventory, the goggles appear correctly assigned to the slot.
If you try to do this with two or more items, only the first will be there after disembarking. Eg. move a helmet to its slot, then NVG, exit, and only the helmet is on your head.
Additionally, after trying to assign a helmet, some other items also stop working, like weapon attachments.
