95% of all servers in my list have a red dot..

[ChrisHimself]

Hey guys. It's really weird but I cannot join any server. All have a "red dot" in front of their name. My current version is 1.16.123633. Is it because I've installed the Battle Royal and the Breaking Point Mod? I'm really frustrated :/

Yes its because most of the servers doesnt allow mods, and a red cross whem you have the Dev version..it sucks sometimes..Mods made ArmA a good game

red circle means that you are running a mod which is not allowed on the server, simple.

[Yah]

Go into your extensions and disable all of your mods, servers should work fine!

SImple eh? I have run vanilla, in dev branch and otherwise, tried using the various launchers, scrubbed my folders and still, I have the issue of red servers.

Something you have enabled is not matching what they allow.

..and apparently S_c_r_u_b is a derogatory term in steamland?

Thats the thing when nothing is enabled, nothing changes.

EDIT: Just tried again for good measure, no mod folders present in root, Expansion tab empty(except default Arma 3, Karts, DLC, bundle and Zeus), up to date, non dev branch

Did you try verifying game cache? Maybe something got messed up in there.

[Saturn Burger]

anyone resolved this?

[ReZiiN]

Yes. Use 'Arma 3 Sync' after you do a clean install of your Arma3, if your unfamiliar with the A3 folder hierarchy(like I was) you can mix up stuff real easy.
Even after manualy cleaning all my folders it turns out there were still @______'s in my documents or somewhere abouts, needless to say it wasn't resolved until a clean install and the use of A3sync.

With Arma 3 sync it enables and disables mods for you BEFORE your boot in, making changes to mod playlists fast and easy!

My recommendation would be to use withSix to install/update your mods, use Arma 3 sync to enable/disable mods and boot up game. Go to youtube for short basic functionality tutorials and the rest just comes with use.


The whole verifying game cache is the equivilant to the help desk's "Is the cable Plugged in?" For me that button has only fixed completely corrupted files which most commonly prevent boot in all together, most issues will not seed back to that damned.. overstated.. button.

The point is, if you have red dots it means that you have a mod that is not compatible with the servers, therefore installing more mods and addons only makes the problem worse

Now I deleted all I had for arma 3 and reinstalling it, hope it's gonna help.

have you tried starting the game from the .exe and not from steam and check to make sure all mods are disabled in game and if still not sure remove them from docs/arma3 and also progfiles/steam/steamapps/common/arma3
