3 Commando Brigade

Unable to disable expansions

MS sounds like you may have mods or PBO files snuck into the main "addons" folder within the main a3 install folder.

Program Files (x86)\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\Addons

This must not contain any modded files.. but people sometimes drop them there by accident.. Worth checking.

Worst case scenario do an uninstall / re-install of the game files.

So your game is fixed now? This means you don't need to reinstall.



Not sure what this means. If you're referring to Karts and the other DLC, they are all part of Arma. All servers run them.



Please see here (3rd paragraph):

I'm guessing you have some non vanilla PBO's in there..

Looking at my install there are 310 files in the D:\Program Files (x86)\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\common\Arma 3\Addons folder.

I have all the Current DLC's i.e. Karts. So that sounds right....

Other thing to check is your steam shortcut. Rightclick A3 in steam and check you have no startup parameters set. i.e. a Mods lines. You don't need anything in there if you are using Pw6.

Suggest you only need Pw6 now anyway, so you can bin armasync.

over....

You could try looking at your Arma3.cfg file and seeing if you have any mods loading up under "class ModLauncherList". If you do it would show
as follows:-

class Mod1
    {
        dir="@uk_sftg_a3";
        name="";
        origin="GAME DIR";
        fullPath="D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\@uk_sftg_a3";
    };

The Arma3.cfg file is located in c:/users/username/my documents/arma3/ and
you can use http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.6.8.html to open
it.

If you need further help just post and i will see what i can find out 

When you uninstalled A3 it may not have deleted your A3 folder in app data and also my documents. The one in my documents has your arma3.cfg file which keeps information like trackir, keybinds etc, but you would not need to do a clean install to remove the problem, just follow the steps i listed above, or if you are still stuck come on TS sometime and i will talk you through it.

Edit:-

If you don't mind redoing your setup i.e keybinds etc you could just goto your a3 folder in my documents and delete yourname.Arma3Profile and also the Arma3.cfg i listed before. That way you would start with a clean profile with no mods enabled and no old keybinds or settings etc.

what are the four 3cb mods that loaded... I'm actually a little unsure of what the problem is now - if I'm honest ?

I think somehow you are telling steam to load up mods.. Did you check your steam game properties ?



Mad, rememeber don't use the ingame expansions menu - it's borked always use a loader like PW6 or armasunc if you prefer.

Happy silent gaming....
