Hi, Im trying to run arma 3 on my VDS but whenever I start the server I get the error "The program can't start because XAPOFX1_5.dll is not installed on your computer." Does anyone know a fix for this?

Thanks

ArmA 3 requires DirectX, .NET and Visual C++ libraries to run. You can find them in the folder where you installed ArmA3, under the _CommonRedist folder (you should use the Steam appID 107410 to install the full game, not the standalone server). Just install anything from there, restart the VDS and ArmA3 should run. I would not recommend to install those dll files by manualy placing them in your Windows folder from some obscure site from the Internet.

Thank works thank. I have one other problem now. Whenever I join the server it says "setting up user profile" in a black screen. I know this has to do with connecting to the database but im not sure why its not working. I have extDB in the main server directory and filled in the user name and password. Anything Im doing wrong?

Edit: it says "setting up client, please wait..." not "setting up user profile"

Yes, this is most likely a problem with the database connection, or loading the mission itself.

extDB creates a log folder after it was successfully started, whith a lot of info. Check if there are any errors in there, you can find it in a sub-folder of the extDB folder. Depending on how you set up your ArmA 3 server structure, you can try to copy the extDB config file into the (active) profile folder.

Also check if the database schema was imported correctly, the created user has the required permission to access the database and the MySQL server itself is running correctly.

I also recommend for an ArmA3 server to use the following start-up parameters:

Code: Select all

-autoInit
-loadMissionToMemory
-enableHT

I have it connected to the server now and things like money and admin level are saving but not clothes. Is this something to do with the connection to the DB?

What is saved depends on what the extDB has been configured/coded to be saved, which depends on the mod/author. I can't really help you with that, as it is different for each mod.

You can look in the configuration files and check if there is a setting for this, or try to contact the mod team responsible for this.
