up voted. But don't forget the IR laser attachment as well, for those who use sidearms together with NVG.

I did think of the IR Laser, but in my case only leader roles have IR Lasers but it could still be added!

I'm happy to know i'm not the only one requesting this at least.

There are even underslung rails on some of the handguns, perfect for a flashlight.

Very good idea!

WOWOWOWOWOWO ((isServer)or(isDedicated)) then {*****}; works for gear in init. and that means that all add* now GLOBAL! if its not bug and its true its COOL!!! i always wish it NO MORE JIP duplicate!

Same problem .everything duplicates now with all add**** commands in MP

Maybe all add commands become global after patch and i should use it only with ((isServer)or(isDedicated)) then {*****}; ?????

Yeah japa probably made those global. The thing is, people should be careful using init.

Hello,
I cannot reproduce the duplication in any way. Could you please attach a repro mission?

Is it MP problem?

Yeah, not sure about singleplayer.

Hey,
we just pushed out an update to 1.28 where the desyncs are fixed. Thank you for participation and patience.
Have a nice day!

just uploaded a armaa3s4.zip

includes:
-keys
-mpmissions (3 sample missions of the variant we are playing)
-basic.cfg
-server.cfg
-StartParameters.cfg

ps: this complete package was linked under "additional information" when the issue was created.

hey, could you please tell which mission were causing you the desyncs? If it is possible, could you please upload one here?

Thank you very much.

RC3 now causes client CTDs:
http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=20488

Server binary is stable.

No desyncs noticed (we got to 37 players at peak)

Dwarden just posted server-binaries to RC3. Will upload them and let you know how it performs

[18:09:54] Dwarden (David Foltyn): hotfix RC3, 126958 ready
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/582opsto4mmr8d8/AADJZAW3d03pfKpyKJdVNGRca/126hotfixRC3?dl=0

1.28.126.951 --> client
1.28.0.126951 --> Server

It was published yesterday
27.08.2014 18:23:00 by Dwarden on Skype-dedicated server group.

Steam just downloaded a new RC. 16.2 MB big.

1.28.0.126958 --> client

This update crashes the client. What happens is this:

You select server from server-browser. You join server. You select faction. You select your class. You click okay. Instead of loading into the server you get a CTD.

@E.C.I.D.,
could you please provide your exe revision?
We released another update 7 minutes before your note and are not sure if you are on the right version.
Thanks a lot!

We are running RC2 now ('Hotfix126Arma3'). No more issues with Desyncs.

guaranteedUpdates = false; // Experimental Command by Dwarden

My friend and i noticed the same.

As we tested we found out that the issue not exist for a couple second after mission start.

We are seeing the same. Made a very simple mission with just a couple of Hummingbirds, a BLUFOR rifle squad at the airprot and an Opfor rifle sqaud a bit to the west.

Two of us joined the server (no mods running on server or our systems) and hopped in one Hummingbird and ordered the AI into another. Took off in the Hummingbird, and flew around. The other guy in the Hummingbird never saw it take off. We never synced up after that.

Its a serious issue that has broken all our games over the past week.

I added this "guaranteedUpdates = false;" into my server config. The desync seemed to be ok for the past two days and then today out of the blue desync on the server is so bad that players leave after a short while. This is a real problem. I am spending a lot of money for the server rental. Ever since the update the server traffic has declined. When can we expect a real fix for this problem ?

Confirmed this is happening with my friends and I. Desync goes from 0 to 100k either right from the beginning or a few minutes in, especially when there's AI entities involved.

We're running a listen server with only two other people. On a simple convoy ambush mission, when the convoy arrives all sorts of wacky stuff happens to the other two people, like floating tanks, warping vehicles, and so on.

There are few servers where I haven't desync problems and I am not really sure why. For example, Blackwing server run OK for me (Altis life 5.0).

Its not happening to everyone.

to give you some feedback:

Fixed the 10000 Desynch bug.

The issues described are still present.

We tested the Perf1 Client + Server on Dwardens Chimera H Server with the above referenced game-mode. We could not get enough people together to test it properly (we imho had 8 at maximum).

> its because of the fact that people need to download a client_binary and it requires effort.

I don't know why this issue isn't at the top of the list in the most up-voted. It's one of the most downer factors that make people abandon the franchise...raise awareness!

Any update on this? We can't play like that.

cry cry

This makes the multiplayer games unplayable. Needs to be fixed asap.

Also happens on servers with not many people (in my case: listen server + 2player = 100000 desync)

This is deadly to multiplayer. Please correct.

Same here. Stop releasing Karts DLC's and work on the real issues, FFS.

get your shit together and fix this problems you noobs.otherwise ill come over and rub my lulla in your face

For me, desync kicks in after the 3rd player joins the server. Everyone who joins after player #3 gets 100000 desync.

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

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 are experiencing these issues too. The desync and rubberbanding just slowly creeps up on you and eventually kills the server.

Same for our server desync maxes out then go again but after 1 hour of uptime its not playable.

We have changes the basic.cfg but still nothing its since the 1.26 update

Same here, after a while the desync kicks in and everything grinds to a halt. >80 players. No issues before 1.26

Same here. We get massive desync since the update.

Same here, even with guaranteedUpdates = false;, instant desync even with 2 players.

Sorry, DEV version that is, started with the tuesday patch i guess.

I tried it on my server too. But still the same extreme desyncs. It is unplayable with more than 20 players.

Hellow,

Same here, desynchs.

Could you please try add to server config

guaranteedUpdates = false;

Doesn't work. Still the same

This strange issue seems to relate to the pathing issue mentioned in ticket 0020349 and the resetting of the launcher to defaults - i.e. clearing all settings in the launcher including addons. After resetting the launcher to defaults the sound issue seems to have been resolved.(?!) This ticket can be closed.

Opening a door or a portal is boring! One chance of 2 to be on the wrong side and be pushed by the door. Real life can't be copied in many aspects. So, this solution is a smart one!

Cheers PiepMGI...

The good thing is that the doors open so quickly in ARMA 3 that you would hardly notice this event occurring :-)
It would result in much more fluent gameplay while performing building clearances.

Haha, that's true, I'm a true gentleman.. But I use a lot of doors, mostly in CQC, and I don't want to stand right in the door way anyway to prevent me being shot.

Is door mechanism a problem for you in battle situation as well, or are you talking more about 'regular' door use?

It's not that regular use is not important, I think that Arma3 is more than combat.

I never have a problem with doors, why don't you stand a little bit to the side when opening them instead of pulling the door in your face?

You don't have to stand to one side and prepare to open a door for yourself in real life, that's like being chivalrous to yourself lol :-s
You just do it without thinking due to your own spatial awareness :-)

And that's how the game should be.

NO DONT DEAL WITH ADD**** problem I LIKE IT!

Looks like its only me have ctd in editor/ so pls close

Can I close the issue then?

Uploaded latest rpt file. CTD happend 30 minutes ago.

Hello,
Thank you for reporting the issue.
We need crash dump 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 5000k, you can attach it here. When package is bigger, please use some free sharing service and post link here.

How to find correct crashdump file:
Try to make the crash happen
Look into crashdump folder
Upload crashdump with latest date in name (crashdump is rpt + bidmp + mdmp file with same name). Please try to provide as many crashdumps as possible, it helps us investigating the problem in a big way.

Thank you.

You have couple of mods loaded, does it crash without them activated?

I have them activated a long tinme and no crashes before update. Nevermind pls deal with MP add**** duplication its asap

I doubt this is permission issue. I'm logged in to Windows using normal domain account (non-admin) and using that account I'm able to access files from the network share. I'm running Arma3 without admin accounts.

Test #1 - Following test was made
using command prompt:
net use i: \\storage-server\share\path
the I copied local disk contains of the Arma3profiles to that folder path
Next I changed the arma3 shortcut to have -profiles=i:\arma3profiles instead of -profiles=C:\users\<local_account>\arma3profiles

Started Arma3 from the icon without profile issues. I also checked that the files in that path were accessed as the timestamp was updated. (Files at C:\users\<local_account>\arma3profiles were not).

Then removing the I: -drive using
net use i: /delete

Test #2 - \\UNC -share
When I opened Windows explorer then expanded Libraries (from left) and clicked
properties on the documents (still at the left) I got Documents Properties window. It shows two Library locations. First is My Documents, which is pointed to \\storage-server\share\path.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/unt28c288h1khnx/documents-properties.jpg?dl=0

Next I changed the arma3 shortcut to have -profiles=\\storage-server\share\path\arma3profiles instead of -profiles=C:\users\<local_account>\arma3profiles

Same error message as in description.

--> Arma3 does not handle UNC paths, workaround is to store profile on local disk under c:\users\<local account>\somearma3directory and use -profile with the shortcut?

And just to clarify if I test
dir \\storage-server\share\path\arma3profiles
no access errors

mkdir \\storage-server\share\path\arma3profiles\test
directory is created, no access errors

rmdir \\storage-server\share\path\arma3profiles\test
directory is deleted, no access errors

So its because your sharing your "My Documents" folder, Arma is unable to save there due to... file/folder protection?

Not for me. At least not now.

It's fixed!

+ 1 to the above. It is still broken.

Yeah probably fixed in 1.30 cause 1.28 is just a hotfix and doesnt have content from the 1.27 dev branch

Reopening until further notice...
