Hello,

• yes, the issue was caused by this update: it first appeared after the update was published and can be solved by uninstalling that update. We're not sure what is the root cause, because we were not able to replicate the issue on any machines at our disposal;

Hello,

Hello,
the protocol is working fine, the data are just packed more densely: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_ServerBrowserProtocol2

Hello,
I'm doubt that re-install would help you, as Steam would just probably download the wrong files again.

Up until the patch 1.60, the mods were copied to the folder you have selected in Launcher settings. Since 1.60 mods are no longer copied to Arma folder and Launcher uses mods directly from the place where Steam client downloads them (and before you ask: no, we can't move them otherwise Steam client would re-downloaded them on its own eventually).

Try to help Steam a little bit: find a folder with Launcher files - C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\Launcher - and delete it. Then let Steam client verify the files again.

Hello,
that is correct, the download location can't be changed. Mods from Steam Workshop are downloaded by Steam client and it stores them where it sees fit. There is no way to change that. The mod storage path in Launcher is now applies only to a few "legacy" Workshop mods.

Hello,
thank you for reporting the issue. We've found the cause, but we won't be able to fix it for this release, as the fix might cause severe issues elsewhere.

Hello,
Launcher can't start because at least one file is obsolete. Please let Steam client verify all game files and re-download / update the game files to correct version:

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?

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).

Hello,
most likely your issue is not related to Launcher. There's another issue with loading files that have some characters (mostly diacritics) in the path. If I'm not mistaken, the PlayWith Six launcher stores settings in a file in a user application data directory, and the path to the file contains a user name which may contain characters with diacritical mark.

Hello,
thank you for reporting the issue. I've looked into it and list of profiles was loaded only after Launcher finished loading mods. I'll make the necessary changes so loading of the profile won't be delayed by mods.

Hi Remix26,
in your case it Steam returns code 9: "FileNotFound - file was not found", but upon examining logs I don't have an idea why is that. Could you please try to create a temporary folder "TempABC" on C: drive and set it in the Publisher Options, then restart Publisher and try to Publish a single file?

Sorry,
the only thing in the Steam logs is what we already know:

sorry for the inconvenience. The issue is caused by a corrupted PBO file. Please take a look at this post on our forum: https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/191132-launcher-crashes-when-mods-load-file-pointer/

Hello,
that 0x00000035 error means the issue with Steam, the game nor the code could connect to Steam client. Something is blocking the communication between Steam and Steam component in our programs. How you started Launcher, from a shortcut or directly from Steam?

one of the meta.cpp files in your mods corrupted and that causes Launcher to crash. That will be fixed with next update. Could you please send us Launcher logs so we can identify the mod that is causing this? (How to get the logs: http://arma.jiripolasek.com/howtos.html)

Steam client failed to publish the items and returned error 2, which means "generic failure".

All of them if you be so kind.

Hello,
there an issue if you have a corrupted PBO, that has less than 20 bytes, in the local mod (added either directly to MODs page or automatically included through a watched folder).

Hello,
there an issue if you have a corrupted PBO, that has less than 20 bytes, in the local mod. In you case, you have a mod with such a corrupted PBO in your Arma 3 folder.

according to the log the problem occurs when update command is passed to Steam client. Unfortunately because of an error on our part, an returned error code is not stored in the logs and it is lost. This should be fixed in Publisher on the development branch (the missing error code). Also more information might be available in Steam client logs (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\logs), if you upload them here, we could go over them to determine the cause of the issue.

Closing expired and obsolete issues. Feel free to re-open it if you are still having the issue.

Hello,
this issue is usually caused by a graphic card or a graphic card driver, so I'd recommend to update the driver. In Launcher you can try to switch UI drawing from your graphic card to a CPU by starting Launcher in the safe mode and disabling HW acceleration: https://arma3.com/launcher/troubleshooting

Hello,

\Launcher\pl-pl\arma3launcher.resources.dll

Hello Erasec10,
please create a separate ticket for your issue, your problem is totally different from this one. Thank you.

Hello priximiters974,
the problem is caused by the name of the folder where the game is installed: "F:\Arma 3 \steamapps\..." The folder "Arma 3 " on your F: drive has a trailing space at the end of its name. You can't normally create a folder with such a name and some of Windows functions that we use doesn't support this a fail when used with this path. The only solution is to move your Steam library to a different folder and re-install the game.

Hello Dealman,
thank you for response. Could you please open Windows Event Viewer, navigate to Windows Logs / Application log and look for any error that occured at the time you unsuccessfully attempted to start Launcher yesterday? There might be an error record, it would help us if could save those records - if there are any - and upload them here.
