Some of these are fixed. There are still 2 dupes that let anyone dupe anything.

1. Two players take same item at the same time: Player 1 right clicks on it to equip, Player 2 quickly drags it on to ground tab. Somewhat difficult but possible.

2. Two players drop item on to ground at the same time. Much easier than previous method.

Video for both methods: http://youtu.be/bOjMS3NJN4Q

Tested on 1.18 stable.

I made some changes in code a some months ago, so I guess that it should be already fixed even in Stable version.

FYI: KK has found a repro how to dupe items through "fast clicking", but his repro is quite difficult and for certain reasons I won't describe it here(you can ask him anyway)

Stable or dev? I'll test it.

I'd say that this issue should be already fixed. Can anyone confirm my guess?

Re-opening thus.

UPDATE as of latest Dev branch (March 10, 2014):

• PDM7-

• Destroys all boats, submarines, & infantry (not triggered by infantry).

• Naval Mine (Moored)-

• Destroys heavy boats & submarines
• Not activated by assault boats (Good how it is)
• Does not harm infantry

• Naval Mine (Bottom)-

• Destroys heavy boats (hard to trigger with heavy boats) & destroys submarines.
• Not triggered by assault boats (Fine how it is)
• Does not harm infantry

The Naval Mine (Bottom) seems to be working fine for me, can you test again to be sure.

EDIT: After further testing the Bottom mine only damages vehicles\divers under the water, boats do not get damaged.

Fixed according to CL.

Naval Mine (Moored) still doesn't do damage, after the update (SPOTREP 19), although the change-log states it is fixed.
@gutsnav Naval Mine (Bottom) does damage to targets bellow it only, although it will detonate by heavy boats above it too. So you'll have to test it with a submarine -> SDV (In case you havn't).

Thanks, but this did not work either.

Try without launch options on Steam.

Again, I'm not entirely sure which dxdiag file to upload because there are many. I picked the one that seemed most relevant, but it is understandably difficult to do so judging only by the file name...

We need dxdiag and files from this folder for solve your problem. C:\Users\<Name>\AppData\Local\Arma 3\
Can you upload somewhere in winrar package please?
When package will be smaller than 2,097k, so you can attach here. When package will be bigger, please use some free sharing service and post link here. Thank you.

Excellent find t3quila88! This should be more than enough information to find the exact cause of the bug in the code. Now let's just hope the devs see this as well :) I really would like to have this bug fixed...it bothers me more than it probably should.

Still reproducible in 1.14.116248.

This bug happens when your character is in transition to another animation. Typically when player is readjusting his stance/footing (looks like feet shuffling when coming out of a turn). This video shows the bug done by strafe shooting (like CS): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEjfOCkppAQ

I wouldn't call it a major exploit, not at least, until BIS does what they should be doing and let you combine mags in arma 3

i confirm this, happened in death valley, i was trying to leave my half-used mag but it just kept duplicating, exiting moving and trying again fixed it.

Hey,
I have the same issue. It drives me crazy, especially during wastelands multiplayer (but it can also crash in main menu) :/

I attached crashdump.* (with dumps for 3 same-looking recent crashes I remember), and DxDiag_mark (as dxdiag output). I hope it will help you solve the issue :)

Ok, I hope these informations are helpful. :(

Would be awesome, if you would be able to give me an information if the files could help you and if you are working on the problem.

p.s.
Sorry for my bad English :(

We will see, thank you for your files. Our programmers will look on your crashdump files.

As I checked, the possible quick-fix is to go to ARMA3 directory and in properties change compatibility mode to Windows XP Service Pack 3 and check 'Run as Administrator' :)

Hi,
yes, you can find crashreports here: C:\Users\<Name>\AppData\Local\Arma 3\
Could you please upload these files? (.rpt, .mdmp, .bidmp)¨
Thank you.

hi.
Game files are all fine. Crash happens with and without mods. I've already tryed it with a reinstall of the game and with an nother operating system (windows 7-64 and windows 8.1 64)
Doesn't the game save some kind of "crash report" or something like that? If yes, please tell me where because I don't know how to find it.

see if you can verify the game's local files (steam library>right click arma 3>properties>local files tab>verify integrity of game crash, I think that's where you find it) because it may be that you have missing or damaged game files. If that doesn't fix it or there aren't any missing files, you might try moving all your mods to a separate folder and try playing the game without any of them installed, just incase it's a bad mod that is causing the problem.

Thank you for info.

Solved the issue. Disabled cba and mcc creator and i worked as intended

you dont get it, dont you?

"im not entirely sure what "arma3 dev" is in game version"

Dr Death, A follow up on this as I have same issue, Why would this mater, if you have the Pre-Alpha build as I have taken every update since I purchased it?

..........

"im not entirely sure what "arma3 dev" is in game version but did buy this game in its alpha stage"

.........................................

Ok, thanks !

I'll disable mods until you find one that does this!

Ok nickel ! Gracias !

The mod problem : Grenades_VZ_EGTI (Extended Grenades & Throwable Items)

Yet it worked fine with 1.08, in short, all the better.

Same here!

Seems to be related to a MOD (Addon). Sorry and thanks

Added a new crash dump, crash happened fairly quickly, not in combat.

The only mod I was using was M.C.C. Sandbox editor

That did the trick, uninstalling the MCC editor made the defecting AAF units friendly.

Hi
Do you use some mods?
Thank you for info.

Oh, that could be whats causing it, I use that mod as well. I recently had to check through all my mods for a glitch (a different glitch) and MCC checked out fine, but that was for a different bug,so its entirely possible MCC is messing with the AAF alignment. I will check that in a minute.

Now this is very interesting.

I couldn't crash the graphics driver on Ballitic's Sandbox where I normally could do it within 2 minutes, now I was able to fly steadily for quite some time. Temperature rose from the normal 50'C I have on desktop to something around 65'C.

I started feeling overconfident so I went back to campaign to drive a truck with some guerillas and I saw the temperature sit nicely at around 70'C but the GPU Usage was bouncing around 60-80%. Then it finally started rising to 99% where I decided to pause the game. It showed no signs of decreasing so I continued on with the game but stopped the vehicle and turned of its headlights.

The Usage started to drop.
It decreased to around 80% before I tried to carry on with the mission but the driver crashed shortly afterwards with the log stating GPU Usage being 99% again.

Max GPU Temp: 77'C
I am no expert but I think that's within safety standards.

Not a game issue.

It's probably just like my GTX 470 - if I end up running it at 110 degrees for a long amount of time it can end up frying itself, making the screen weird and eventually resetting itself. I believe this is what's happening here, your GPU is simply reaching maximum load and eventually resets to prevent damage.

Dropping GPU usage is something I experience aswell. I've tried this by going overkill and spawn 155mm shells around me for a few minutes - GPU usage went from 99 to 50. This was in high-pressure environments where stuff is exploding, but I imagine it's sooner for your laptop due to it having less strength.

I have no other ideas, but I highly doubt it's any other part than your Intel HD Graphics Card.

These options are pretty limited. As we can see it fails to properly recognize your onboard graphics. You have Intel HD Graphics 4000 according to your DxDiag but instead it recognizes an AMD Radeon HD 7670M, a completely different chipset.

It's good to see that MSI finally got the GPU temperature set up. That is the only useful thing in MSI Afterburner for you, apparently, as you're severely limited in other aspects. I'll wait for you to upload a new hardware monitoring file (delete your old one before testing! It turns off when the hardware monitoring file reaches 10MB in size) before saying anything else.

Thank you for your help.
I wouldn't have gotten anywhere solving this problem alone.

I'm going to try if I can reach the same usage percentages with any other graphically challenging games and maybe try disabling the Intel card somehow to see if it has any effect on gameplay and/or stability.

It seems the MSI stopped giving the option to monitor GPU temperature when I started it up today. I have no idea why but that's not a big issue anymore.

Can you upload your ArmA3.cfg as .txt file to the site please? It's located in Documents -> ArmA3 -> Arma3.cfg
It should be a lot easier to get an overview as it has all prominent graphics options aswell as a mod launcher list.

Also as for MSI Afterburner make sure you're NOT using the beta version of things. My version is 2.3.1, downgrade if you have to, it's the latest stable version so easy to find.

Arma 3.cfg uploaded as a .txt as .cfg is not allowed. Should be readable nevertheless.

The MSI Afterburner I installed is version 2.3.1 as well.

Thank you for your response.

I must disagree with you when it comes to my laptop being strong enough. To my mind the word "incompatibility" is more fitting. What's strange here is that it worked once but is not compatible anymore.
This might sound like a rant but updates shouldn't make a game unplayable as far as I know.

"It's most definitely a hardware issue. "
I agree.

If I remember correctly I haven't had graphics driver crashes in any other game or application.

Back to the MSI:
Suddenly, without any warning when I started up the Afterburner for the first time in 3 days, an option for GPU Temperature showed up and it was enabled by default.

I will upload information regarding the GPU temperature shortly.
Meanwhile here is a picture of the MSI main screen. As you can see there is no information of the driver version.
The settings there have not been changed at all. Both Core Clock and Memory Clock were maxed by default.

OK, sorry for the late response here, got caught up in a few other things.
I really think this is a case of your laptop just not being strong enough, although it certainly is weird that it never happened prior to 1.08 as you mentioned. It's most definitely a hardware issue.

With A3 you'll want to read up on the different options and optimal settings. Some settings strain the CPU more than GPU and vice-versa. It's not perfectly documented in A3 itself, however.

As a last suggestion, I'd say try out any other game. Most of them probably won't reach A3 in the level of workload etc but it's worth a try.

As for MSI, 2.3.1 should most definitely have a temperature reading setting. I've never tested it with onboard graphics but I get the option with my GTX 470. Does it recognize your graphics card and driver version in the main window by the way?
