Cannot get Arma3 to start from Arma3sync


Hi all, first time posting so apologies if incorrect.

I have followed Apollos instructions to the letter (I thought) but appear to have something wrong as I cannot get this to start - I get an error message stating that (every) mod is missing.

Now I have compared what I have to the screenshots and noticed a few things
  1. The Addon groups are complete, but I cannot get the list to appear as Available addons - this is under the Addon tab...
  2. When I select the public server under the "Join Server" drop down box, it adds an extra group into Addon Groups...
  3. When I then launch Start Game, I get "Failed to launch Arma 3/ The following selected addons are missing." It then lists all the addons. 
I have a screenshot but cant see how to attach a jpg into this post...

Do you see an image like this

Things to note:
1. "Default destination folder" = the A3 folder in steam
2. The list of "Repository content" is clear of symbols, like explanation marks or warning triangles.

Click the green arrow and it should refresh, and show "total files to update" = 0 and "total files to delete" = 0

I do.

I then go to the Addons tab where, in the Addon Group box, I have expandable menus for both the repository and for the £CB Public Modset - all the latter are red.

The available addons box is empty

If the "available addons" list in the "addons" tab is empty, then that suggests that the addon folders are not setup correctly

Check the "addon options" tab.  It should look something like this

Look at the "addon search directories" list.  You should have at least one entry in there.  The top entry should point to the A3 main folder.  

All the mods in your main A3 folder should be listed in the "addon priorities" list.  But you do not need to fiddle with those.

Still no joy - I had the add ons folder as being the top priority, followed by the default folder for arma3.exe. reversed and makes no difference

How are you inserting the screenshots btw? I cant see an option other than to upload the photos to somewhere then provide a URL..

You can set up a free account at imgur.com and link to them. Probably the best option

Use Imgur.com. 

1. Press Alt-Prt Scr to capture just the active window
2. open imgur in a browser and hit the upload button
3. Press Ctrl-V to paste the image into Imgur
4. Copy the link in the box titled "BBCode (message boards & forums)"
5. Paste in the forum

I suggest jumping onto TS and go into the Technical Help channel, and someone will be able to help.  

You may catch someone this afternoon, but probably easier this evening.
