@Wolves Hero did you run it with dedi? that evens the lag

custom mod means you make the mod yourself

Awful mods, enemies AI aimbot was killed me inside heli crew too fast not AA. too high AI skill aimbot??
Awful stuttering & low FPS 20-50. I have i7-12700k & 64Gb RAM & RTX 4070 Ti Super.
Antistasi ultimate far better didn't kill me fast inside heli

Custom mod not loaded not worked, can't pick any factions like in Antistasi. I picked CUP - 3 sides work fine.

I ran two half hour tests today with dedi server and one client connected to it, no crashes

these types of problems are hard to figure out because it could be single setting or mod that causes the crash

@OldPayphone ok thx for trying my mission, wish it would work better. I will try to do more tests my self to see if I can figure out the problem. so far no crashes on my end...

If you want you can give me the crash files in case you saved them and i can send them to the devs.

thx again :)

Just tried without mods and I was able to play it for the longest time so far, but still ended up crashing. Upon crashing I just get an error code of 0x00000001, but I'm sure that only appears after killing the game through task manager when the game is no longer responding.

I guess this scenario mod is just not for me. It was the best scenario mod that I played on the workshop while it did work so at least thank you for making an awesome PvE mod.

@OldPayphone no problem, its good to have email for this type of thing. and thx for the .rpt!

unfortunately only thing it says is that it froze :| that doesnt help much

did arma not open dialog for saving the crash report after it froze?
those could be sent straight to arma3 devs

and sorry you probably answerred this already but have you tried without mods right? just (FOW and RHS)

thx :)

I just emailed you the rpt file. I appreciate you going out of your way to make an email to help me solve this problem.

@OldPayphone if you still have time to help I created email account where you can send those .rpt files:
feedback@fieldofwar.net


btw im surprised if arma itself doesnt create crash reports. maybe not if the freeze is so total

thx!

did u try without mods?

Why am I not surprised smh

no sorry i think it was blocked by steam :(

So you were unable able to get the link for my rtp file then?

@OldPayphone hey , i think steam is not letting your messages thru. im gonna hit the bed soon so I can get back to this later

thx for the help!

its definitely worth trying without any other mods than FOW.
DLCs shouldnt effect..

My bad, I mean no overhaul mods like RHS. Just the base game weapons and vehicles and whatnot.

if RHS is from steam then it has to be uptodate so its ok

with base game do you mean no other mods?

Should I not be using the RHS on Steam Workshop? Also, should I just try not to play this scenario with just the base game as well?

well i havent got any crashes yet with stratis or malden when i drive vehicle out of the base.
so im bit out of ideas :D

is there any change that your RHS is not uptodate?

oh sorry you can put the contents to pastebin.com
or just upload to google drive or something

the rpts are in %localappdata%\Arma 3

Where do I find this .rpt file and how do I send it to you?

ok thx. i tested malden my self without crashes. but i'll try to make it crash.. without .rpt file its not possible to say what is causing it.

With the scenario saying that running the game on the PC itself may not be as good, I kept the settings at default or reduced them. I tried on both Altis and Stratis and same result.

ok thx for letting me know!

did you play in big map like altis or tanoa? did you change the max units setting via admin menu or params?

if its possible it would be great if you gave me the .rpt files from the crashed game

thx a lot!

Tested this on Stratis and the same results.

Sorry, I should have tested it more thoroughly. I just tested everything again. With the base game only, my game crashes as soon as I leave the base. Then with RHS, I was able to play for a bit before the exact same freezing, crashing, and killing the game through task manager happens.

so you mean without RHS that happens?

@GenCoder8 Anytime I leave the base, my game freezes and becomes unresponsive. I have to kill the game through task manager every single time. Never had this happen with other scenarios before.

@OldPayphone hi!
can you be more specific what you mean by "crash" ?

I will add some tooltips to vehicle buy menu :)

thx!

Seems you have to have Apex at minimum or RHS to play this. If you don't, game will crash everytime. Also, could you please add tool-tips to the vehicle buy menu? Toggling these icons green and white mean absolutely nothing to me. I have no idea what green or white means.

Could the Custom option be modified to use the native NATO/CSAT/AFF factions? Sorry for asking in the FOW workshop then, didnt realize that you're the owner for both

hi .didntnoagoodname.
that's actually good question. The mod that is selected by default is in fact Apex mod and I don't really know if you can play that without Apex. I thought arma would let you but unsure

Sorry if this is an obvious question but I can seem play play this with regular NATO and CSAT units, does this only come with the apex faction?

Sorry for the late reply but yes I clicked the weapon on the gear menu and it opens the item panel but there are no items in there. I tried with SPAR, MXC... with MX SW I get bipods but no sights or anything else. Could this be related to my rank?

@HyperVulcan hey. Did you click the weapon you have? the weapon item panel is supposed to open when you click your weapon

Nvmd fixed the infinite loading screen got fixed, might have had something to do with the heavy performance preset. The other thing is, the weapon items are missing. Not sure if that's where you can find the weapon attachments but they just don't show up.

Hey, I'm running this through a dedicated server in FASTER but when joining the "Starting mission. Please wait..." loading screen keeps loading indefinitely. What could be the cause for this?

@Robbyp
hard to say, it could be one of the mission parameters set so that not many enemies spawn. You can try map->fow->Debug->"Reset mission parameters"

or use different performance preset from the admin menu
hope that helps?

I'm not sure if it's one of my mods or something but I don't seem to be getting enemies spawning in towns, just unmanned turrets. Any idea what kind of fix I could do for this?

The AI commander should create and control the AI squads

no, i ment ai squads, not player controled

Also remember to play in multiplayer mode even when playing alone (For respawn to work)

@Jarskan that should be possible via the scroll menu: [menu] -> "Buy units"

how do i get ai players, been trying to play single player, and no ai are being added. i really want to play a wwii cti but ya.

@Aquilares thx :)

Looks like it was the resistance strength that was the cause, had it set to very strong with 100% Support, Battle and Defender groups, thanks for the help.

Also thank you for continuing to develop this mode, there are very few CTI type scenarios out there that let you play both PvE and PvP with an AI commander, this is definitely one of the best ones out there.

@Aquilares
sounds like you have reached the group limit that arma can handle. Have you put the group parameters above 100% ?

Some of the parameters you should check are:

Resistance town strength
Maximum resistance patrols at one location
Multiplier for the maximum support groups at a time
Multiplier for the maximum battle groups at a time
Multiplier for the maximum defenders at a time

change those to 100% or lower

Same issue with Tanoa, getting a mission end screen with the message group limit reached. Stratis is the only map that I've been able to launch without the mission ending on start.

I don't know why but launching this map on a dedicated server is causing a group limit reached message to pop up as soon as the missions starts, ending the mission. Works fine when launched locally so not sure what's going on.
