Podagorsk crashes game ... sometimes. [Resolved]

[SPC (Ret) Harrison]

Do you have A3MP installed?

[SSgt (Ret) Grchan]

I have been using the map for days with no issues...you need to run the map as its own mod.

[Wischuf]

I've had no issues with the map so far. I've spent a few hours on it in the editor, and it hasn't crashed on me yet.

To those experiencing crashes, I am assuming everyone changed the extracted folder to be set up correctly? I've set it up so that the modfolder is called "@FDF_Podagorsk_v11" with an "addons" folder inside containing the .pbos. Looks like this.

Maybe try running the A3MP Additional Pack alongside AllInArmA? The standard A3MP does not have support for Podagorsk, I believe. Only the Additional Pack adds support for Podagorsk and a few other maps.

[SSG (Ret) Atkinson]

You shouldn't be running any form of A3MP.

This is how mine is and I haven't had any problem. We currently have S-4 looking into what might be the exact issue and how to resolve it. Just have some patience and let's see what they say.

This is almost guaranteed to be the problem people are seeing. You must do as CPL Wischuf says above.

This had zero effect on the map for me. I named it Podagorsk, Podagorsk, fdfpodagorsk, and fdf_podagorsk, and never experienced a crash at any point.

[SGM (Ret) De Leo]

Try by naming the addons folder "Addons" instead of "addons". That fixed it for me yesterday. Folder setup must be "@Podagorsk/Addons/"

I fixed my issue by fixing the same issue in this post.

This could certainly be it for a lot of people. To those crashing, I want to confirm that you guys aren't running the lite version of AiA, correct?

[SFC (Ret) Otto]

I am not using the "GimmeMoarFrames" thing

I have the map as its own mod with the correct folder structure

I have named the mod folder @Podagorsk, @FDF_Podagorsk, and @FDF_Podagorsk_v11

I have tried using "addons" and "Addons"

I am using the full version of AIA

I have tried putting the files inside AIA

I have tried putting the files inside the main addons folder inside the Arma 3 directory

Every single time it crashes when trying to load a template. (Same boxes / units as other templates).

For those of you not having a problem launching it, what is the order of your mods when you're launching? (Not sure if this makes a difference but it's worth a shot.)

@CBA_A3,@task_force_radio,@RHS_AFRF3,@RHS_USF3,@sthud,@SMD_A3,@506th,@Podagorsk
However, hearing that you are only crashing while loading templates may mean that our templates have something conflicting with Podagorsk.

[SFC (Ret) Otto]

are you not running AIA?

[SPC (Ret) Harrison]

are you not running AIA?

Sorry, took that off for testing purposes, but I have always launched at the end: @CBA_A3,@task_force_radio,@RHS_AFRF3,@RHS_USF3,@sthud,@SMD_A3,@506th,@panthera,@Podagorsk,@allinarmaterrainpack

no joy.
