Thanks TakeHomeTheCup, I switched PiP Quality to Ultra in Video settings and I immediately have a good quality (no distance fog) but when drone turret is at 1000m from target the PiP view starts to have more distance fog than the drone turret. It looks like there is still a difference between the viewdistance of drone turret and the viewdistance of PiP camera (at least around 1000m).
So can these 2 viewdistances be made the same for drone turret and PiP view?
yessss please, I've complained about similar things in my UAV suggestion

It's based on your PIP Quality.
Gekon, thanks. Whatever you do, please, please add an option for the admin to rename the mission briefingName so that server admins would be able to determine their own naming formats. Having servers with multiple naming conventions makes them unusable. For example, we have hundreds of coop missions on the Comrades in Arms server, and it's essential to be able to use a single naming convention to manage so many files.
This could probably best be done from the command-line while starting the server, or with the steamCMD app.
Problem is to create a steam credentials file that cannot be read by other community members that have access to our RDP.
It will be no problem for me to add another steamCMD command in our restarter-tool, that upon restart/crash, first checks for a updated workshop subscription, Or just add the required command to the startup parameter, so the server makes this check & download.
Dedicated servers were not able to download workshop content (technology limitation). The new SDK could potentially solve this. We'll hopefully look into it.
Coil whining happens when the videocard produces a high amound of frames per second. This is especially noticeable in the 2D editor, since your card has nothing hard to do.
VSYNC's job is it, to limit the FPS to either 30,60 or 120 FPS, to reduce power consumption, coil whining and heat output.
Therefore, what you've reported is absolutely normal. Just keep VSYNC on, or limit your FPS with an external program like MSI Afterburning.
kind regards
Edit: You can also try to search your AMD driver for "adaptive VSYNC". However, I'm not sure if that is an Nvidia only technology.

Good to hear! We are waiting for the fix. Thank you oukej!

I loaded the savegame, but the AI not in the stuck position. I think the loading skip the issue or something.
Thanks, based on the vid I was able to reproduce it somewhat by altering two "move to a position" orders and confuse the AI to the point it stopped moving.
im circumventing this just by placing classes i need clipped inside a group class and the clipping the group, but that just creates unnecessary complexity.
additionally if clipTL and clipBR applied to all classes in its hierarchy it would be easier to clip larger HUD elements which consist of a lot of different classes
It would be extremely useful if we could evaluate code in this condition like UserActions. Then we could add indicators for things like cargo ramps and doors, and warnings for ammo, fuel, and damage, and I'm sure a massive range of other things we haven't thought of yet because we haven't been able to.
I second this.
Some usable examples are:

To the best of my knowledge, no - but I'll have to check when I get home from work.
That would be my guess as well. Do you have any persmissions or sharings set on your Documents folder?
You just have to make sure that you Revert, not Replay, the save then gets overwritten and you should be able to continue.
Hi Iceman
The cheat worked after a fashion, I used the campaign cheat, but I have to unlock every time I want to play a mission - so I don't get the whole storyline, branches and all - but don't sweat it, I'm playing the very last mission right now, so there is no need to do anything more
Hi Iceman,
That's just what I did - highlighted "Win" on the campaign screen, left shift + keyp minus, entered "campaign", enter. Selected the first mission, and selected "revert".
After finishing the mission, the campaign screen was back to its previous state: "win" campaign was not selectable.
it does look like a read/write permission issue
Hello,
it seems that for some reason the information about completing the capmaign episode is not written in your profile.
You can use cheat to unlock all of the missions and then hit Revert from the first mission of the Win episode.
You can find all cheats on our wiki: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_Cheats
Let me know if that works, thank you very much.
Hello,
thank you for your report and files. It seems that your problem is that DirectX crashes. This may be from various reasons, such as outdated DirectX, outdated drivers, overclocked CPU or GPU [by manufacturer or user] and many more.
Sadly, there is nothing that can be done from our side. I linked this problem to bug number #0000579, where you can read useful tips in comments. Also, please check out the forums page for another useful tips:

Hi,
Sorry for my English mistakes, I'm French.
So basically, when I'm in a multiplayer server, I can only play for 5-10 minutes (it's pretty random) and after the error message appears: dxgi_error_device_removed
After that, I have a message that says my drivers have planted and restarted.
This error is very detrimental to play properly.
I have my options very low. All that is switched off is disabled.
Have a nice day.
You have an issue on your end. Make sure you're not running any mods while playing and if that doesn't help you can always re-install ArmA 3.
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.
Btw i realize that it is possible to mask out holes in a hud element by duplicating the class and using clipTL and clipBR to render only around the masked area. This trick works fairly well but once you start having 10+ holes in the HUD element and 5+ elements that need to not be drawn in those holes, you start having hundreds of classes and it just all becomes quite very complicated.

solved with lowercase filenames and directories, is the issue still not fixed?
Hello, are there any crashdumps created? If so, would it be possible to upload them?
Since i was on vacation i could not check for minidumps, but neither are there ones in the server dir, nor in .local/share/*
In addition, it would be nice to have the possibility to choose what kind of main menue background one wants to have. For example, static background like a wallpaper or different types of videos.
BTW: At ticket author, do never forget to vote your own issues! ;)
It wouldn't be overly complex, but fairly complex relative to the result it'd produce. The most complex parts would be:
I'm not sure about this suggestion. Obviously I'm not a dev, but I imagine they need to draw the line between adding tools mission designers can utilize in a widespread fashion and tools mission designers should create for themselves on an individual basis.
You're asking for a feature that would be quite complex to implement which can be very easily scripted by a mission designer (in a much more flexible fashion that offers more control too).
Although, just to clarify: Are we talking about exporting the loadouts from the VA or using the Arsenal module? Or both?
i don't see how it would be awfully complex for BI, as drakeziel mentioned, it's apparently already possible using SQF.
I am talking about the arsenal module though yes, for use in Zeus (which is where i don't think the .sqf solution would work, assuming the .sqf goes in a mission folder or similar)
This is already possible. You need to create an .SQF for the custom loadouts. Including all of the possible items.
edited to clarify - i'm interested in an in-game solution to this. i kinda guessed that with some extra files you could perhaps do it, but an in-game solution would still be preferable and, i would imagine, vastly quicker

Hey, thanks for your feedback!
I currently can't reproduce this issue. I believe this was fixed with recent pathfinding improvements.
Could you please confirm?

Fixed in revision 127136
Mp as well?
Yes, tried on dedicated server.
Good spot!
It is also broken in MP on dedicated. Obviously addScoreSide works only when executed on the server, and while on the server the score stays correct, on the client it increases by the last addScoreSide value every time player drops to the lobby and back: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMiF-Hme_kI
It is broken for all sides. The MP table also lies on client.
However unit addScore and score unit, both work correctly.
Looks like this is fixed in todays update.
Another benefit, that just occurred to me, from adding this feature is when you are wearing a custom clothing load out and friendly Ai are as well, it will make it easier for you to identify them from a foe. I really hope this suggestion can be added, it will allow more time to actually be spent playing the game.
Indeed this is quite an intelligent argument you've got there.
No reason not to add this feature. Would only make things easier. I'm no coder but it sounds like it shouldn't be too hard to add.
I agree, I have this same issue, it's tedious and annoying to do it one by one.
Hello, thank you for submitting the ticket, I have assigned it to programmers internally.
