Updating base class RscShortcutButton->RscButton... Caused by inheriting from wrong config while modifiying an existing base class. Currently Arma 3 has a lot of these issues out of the box.

Error: entity [ProxyFlag_Auto] still has its shape, ref_count=2
"Some path": Missing ';' at the end of line
"Unsupported language English in stringtable" Happens if an entry was not found in the desired language e.g., English. This error will even show if it falls back to another lanuage e.g., Original. When stringtable can't find the entry it wants, it first tries Original entry, then English after that, the first entry in the stringtable is taken.
Serialization of Control variables is not implemented Can be produced when the game is saved (e.g. via saveGame).

Possible reasons:

Solution: Use the uiNamespace to save Control variables and use disableSerialization in scripts and functions that contain Control variables.

DiaryParser: <br/> without corresponding <br> Erroneous &lt;/br&gt; (</br>) instead of &lt;br/&gt; (<br/>) used in stringtable.xml for localized string that is being used with createDiaryRecord or setDiaryRecordText. Does not seem to care for </br> used in scripts directly.


Creating a diagnostic file for DirectX

To better analyze the reason for malfunctions it might be useful to also create a DirectX diagnostic file.

  • Press ⊞ Win + R to open the run command.
  • Enter dxdiag and confirm
  • After data collection is done, click on "Save All Information" and specify a location of where the file should be created.
