Kicked?

[Scootah95]

Hello everyone. I got arma 3 a while back and just started playing it way more.

I've found myself really enjoying the officially BI Arma 3 US East Warlords server. Ping is stable and runs well with a decent number of players. And I love the mode... anyways....

This one specific I can not join any longer. I was on it earlier today and had to leave abruptly without having time to leave the server, etc.

I came back, and it said I was kicked. Ok fine..No big deal. However, now, when I go to rejoin, it's says instantly to me

"You were kicked off the game. [Until server mission restart] or something along those lines.

The time left on the server is 571 minutes. I installed a graphics enhancer mod last night and bloodlust mod. Which basically allows for more gore from bombings, killings, etc... nothing crazy. Just basic mods. And they are allowed because it let me on that server with them yesterday, no problem.

I have not cheated. Ever. And I don't plan to. I've done nothing wrong in the server, so I'm trying to figure out what the deal is?

The battle eye is ticked in the launcher. It has been...

It says the server doesn't require any mods.

I've relaunched the game and restarted my computer.

I looked online, and someone said to check a Pbt file or something. I do not have any logs or pbt that person was talking about. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

It appears to be only one server I can't join. It's the one I like, and always go to though. The server is [Official ] Arma 3 Warlords by Bohemia Interactive [US] East #01e. This is the server that will no longer let me join. And it's pretty frustrating..

Edit: people always say there's another side to things. In this case I can assure you there is not. I have no VAC bans on my steam, and I've never cheated, or any of the above. I have literally done nothing wrong. So im confused.

Sounds like a bug on BI's end. I'd submit a ticket on their official forums for Support.

Having ran my own server, server operators have the ability to define a idle or AFK timeout kick, and when that activates (if you don't move or interact ingame for x amount of time) it will remove you from the server permanently for that session until it restarts, or the mission ends, and it goes back to voting (all players leave, or vote a full restart to change missions)

It has nothing to do with a cheating ban, global ban by battleye, or VAC ban, etc. Its only for idling in a server. (Based on information given) The ban should clear as soon as the server is fully empty. I would also like to point out that having mods, you will be denied entry to most servers (including official ones) due mod verification failures as most official servers (AFAIK) do not allow mods. You'll be kicked back to the menu saying a file failed to validate and needs to be removed or not even told, just end up on the server listing confused.

The file you mention is the RPT log for that session and should be located around this general area "%appdata%/Local/Arma 3/Arma3_[version]_[date-and-time].rpt"

I actually ended up finding this out late last night. All is working as of now, and it does appear I was kicked for AFK, and had to wait until restart. No big deal, it lets me back in now.

I have also removed the 2 mods I did have. I completely removed arma 3 and reinstalled to be safe. I will refrain from using any mods, as it appears you are correct that many servers do not permit the use of mods.

Thanks for the clarification. I have rewarded you for your detailed and informative post. Hopefully your reply helps others in the future that run into this issue.

By the way, you don't need to unsubscribe mods and or reinstall to join servers; You can just go back to the launcher, and un-check any mod(s) you have subscribed to so they are not loaded by the game, launch it, and join a non-modded server without issues.

If you want to use mods, you'll need to find a server using the exact set of mods you're interested in without a password. However you're more than likely going to have to host peer to peer, or even setup your own dedicated server.

*edit*
From what I remember, Peer to peer hosting does not do mod verification atleast as far as I am aware based on old knowledge, so I would recommend using a password for the game and trusting people you play with to use the same mods.
*edit*

IIRC, the dots on left of the server list per server is indicating if you can join.
"GREEN" means you can join as-is because you have a matching mod set, or are not using mods.
"YELLOW" was something along the lines of mismatching server/client mod version, but you can join. I never really understood yellow very much as I never see it for the servers I join. If it has other logic, then I'm not sure.
"RED" next to a server says you're mismatching mods, or game version and you will be kicked out.

A note though if you use the direct connect menu on the server list, it will always return a "RED" dot at least from my experience even if you're able to join.

Thank you for the award. Hopefully this additional information can help you more.
