Troubleshooting

How to fix Arma 3 not working

Arma 3 is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Your browser tries to reach arma3.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

Start vanilla Arma 3
Open Steam, select the game in Library, and press Play to open the launcher. Go to MODS, click Unload all, then click PLAY so Workshop and local mods stay out of the first test.
Verify game files
Right-click the game in Steam and choose Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files. Steam may download replacements; after it finishes, open the launcher and test the same mission or server again.
Clear Arma 3 launch options
In Steam, right-click the game and open Properties > General. Clear the Launch Options box, then start the launcher and leave custom memory or allocator settings off for the next test.
Repair BattlEye for servers
If a BattlEye-protected server kicks you or closes the join attempt, right-click the game in Steam and choose Manage > Browse local files. Open the BattlEye folder, run Install_BattlEye.bat as administrator, and keep BattlEye enabled in the launcher before joining that server.

Error messages

Common Arma 3 error messages

What each message means and what to try. The wording can differ a little between app versions.

Bad version, server rejected connection

Means
The server runs a different game build than your copy, so it refuses the multiplayer connection.

Fix
Let Steam finish any Arma 3 update, then restart the launcher and the game. If it still appears, pick a server on the same branch or wait for that server to update.
Session lost

Means
Your game lost its connection to the multiplayer server, or the server stopped answering during the session.

Fix
Reconnect after a short wait. If the same server keeps dropping you, check your own connection and try another server before changing game files.

While Arma 3 is down: what to use instead

Steam Offline Mode Use it if you only want single-player missions or the editor and Steam can start the game without online features.
Direct Connect If a friend's server is still running, join by its address from the multiplayer browser instead of waiting on the server list.
Squad Pick it when you want a slower tactical multiplayer match while the Arma 3 session is unavailable.
Hell Let Loose Use it for large infantry and vehicle battles if you can live with a World War II setting.

About

What happens when Arma 3 goes down

Arma 3 is Bohemia Interactive's PC military sandbox game, used by German milsim groups, modded communities, and players who run long co-op sessions. An outage can interrupt server browsing, Steam joining, launcher mod checks, and planned community event nights.

Multiplayer often shows trouble first, because the server browser may load slowly, omit favorites, or fail to connect after you pick a server. Joining can hang at loading. If Steam handoff or BattlEye has trouble, the game may kick you back before the mission starts or refuse the server check. Mods add another layer, since a broken Workshop download or launcher sync can leave you with a missing addon message; problems can stay partial, so one German group may play through direct connect while another cannot see public servers.

Questions

Arma 3 FAQ

Is Arma 3 down right now?

The status at the top of this page shows whether problem reports for Arma 3 are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Those reports come from a public outage-reporting service, not from monitoring by this site. If the graph looks normal, test another multiplayer server, restart Steam, and try your connection with a different online game before you blame the service.

Why does Arma 3 say "Session lost" when I join a multiplayer server?

That message often points to a broken connection between your PC, Steam, and the game server. Try a different server first, because one community host can fail while others still work. If every server drops you, restart Steam and your router, then check whether your firewall or VPN is interfering with the game.

Why does the server browser load, but joining gets stuck on the loading screen?

Mods are the usual suspect when the browser works but the mission never finishes loading. Open the launcher, match the server mod list, and remove any Workshop item that failed to update. A quick test is to join an unmodded server; if that works, your base game and Steam login are probably fine.

What should I do if BattlEye kicks me from an Arma 3 server?

BattlEye can kick you when its service is not running, when files are blocked, or when a server rejects your client state. Restart the game through Steam so the launcher starts BattlEye with it. If the kick repeats, verify the game files in Steam and close overlays or tools that hook into the game.

Why do I get a missing content message after downloading a mission or joining a German community server?

Many community servers use Workshop mods, creator DLC, or custom mission files, so a missing content message means your local setup does not match the server. Use the Arma 3 launcher to load the preset from that server, then let Steam finish every Workshop download before you retry. If one unit server fails but public vanilla servers work, the issue sits with that server's mod set or mission file.

How we track Arma 3

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Arma 3, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Arma 3, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Arma 3 doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
