Launcher for Linux and Mac ArmA 3

Arma 3 + DayZ SA Unix Launcher

A clean, intuitive Arma 3 + DayZ SA Launcher for GNU/Linux and MacOS.

Since Bohemia Interactive's developers have not ported the official Arma 3 and DayZ Launchers to GNU/Linux and MacOS, and the existing Steam Proton launch options did not satisfy the community's needs, I decided to create a new one. The Arma 3 + DayZ SA Unix Launcher is intuitive, working with all of Bohemia Interactive's launch parameters for each title and integrating neatly with mod subscriptions in the Steam Workshop.

Installing

From package

There are GNU/Linux and MacOS packages available in the releases tab!

The following package types are available:

• pkg.tar.xz (for Arch-based distributions) (arma3-unix-launcher)
• deb for Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 (arma3-unix-launcher)
• dmg for MacOS (arma3-unix-launcher)
• AppImage for any GNU/Linux distribution running glibc 2.23 or newer (both arma3-unix-launcher and dayz-linux-launcher)

For Arch-based distributions, there is also an AUR package available (for Arma 3). It is called arma3-unix-launcher-bin.

yay -S arma3-unix-launcher-bin

Building from source

Requirements:

• GCC 8 or newer (Clang with C++17 support should work too)
• CMake 3.11
• Qt5 with SVG support, version 5.9 or later
• fmt (optional)

Debian-based (Debian, Ubuntu)

apt install cmake qt5-default libqt5widgets5 libqt5svg5 libqt5svg5-dev libfmt-dev libspdlog-dev

Arch-based (Arch Linux, Manjaro)

pacman -S cmake fmt nlohmann-json pugixml qt5-base qt5-svg spdlog

Fedora

dnf install gcc gcc-c++ cmake libcurl-devel qt5-qtbase qt5-qtsvg qt5-qtbase-devel qt5-qtsvg-devel spdlog-devel

MacOS

brew install gcc cmake qt5

Build process for Arma 3

git clone https://github.com/muttleyxd/arma3-unix-launcher.git
cd arma3-unix-launcher
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Launch with

./src/arma3-unix-launcher/arma3-unix-launcher

You may wish to add a shell alias to .bashrc or similar, such as:

alias arma="$HOME/arma3-unix-launcher/build/src/arma3-unix-launcher/arma3-unix-launcher"

Then, you simply would type arma in order to open the launcher.

Build process for DayZ

git clone https://github.com/muttleyxd/arma3-unix-launcher.git
cd arma3-unix-launcher
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DBUILD_DAYZ_LAUNCHER=ON
make

Launch with

./src/dayz-linux-launcher/dayz-linux-launcher

You may wish to add a shell alias to .bashrc or similar, such as:

alias dayz="$HOME/arma3-unix-launcher/build/src/dayz-linux-launcher/dayz-linux-launcher"

Then, you simply would type dayz in order to open the launcher.

DayZ Installation

Before trying to run DayZ via Steam Proton, be sure to increase the max_map_count:

sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=1048576 

1. Install the game with "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" checked and set to "Proton Experimental."

2. Install "Proton Battleye Runtime."

3. Install the arma3-unix-launcher with the new DayZ SA option (here).

4. In the DayZ Unix Launcher, go to Parameters. Check "Skip intro" and "Skip logos at startup."

5. Join a modded server in this way. First, subscribe to the required mods in the Steam Workshop. Second, if possible, ask the server administrator for an .html list that you can simply "open" to check the exact required set of mods at once in muttley's launcher. Third, directly connect to the server via muttley's launcher by entering the IP address, port, and password in Parameters -> Client. Fourth, click "Start."

arma3-unix-launcher's Issues

Mods are not Installing

I see the mods from my mods list in the launcher but they won't install I don't think. And even after trying to enable them through the launcher, Arma still shows that as not enabled.

Typo in debian package name

Is not
apt-get install libgtkmm3.0-dev
But
apt-get install libgtkmm-3.0-dev

Mods appear in main menu but doesn't work

I use Arma 3 with Steamplay. When I select the mods in Arma3-unix-launcher the game starts and mods are show in the down left part of the main menu, but when I check servers that uses that mods they show as no available and if I try to join anyway some errors appear (Warning Message: You cannot play/edit this mission; it is dependent on downloadable content that has been deleted) regarding some of the files of the mods.

Even If I wan to host my own server mods (like maps) doesn't show in the options.

arma 3 update to contact dlc on proton issues

hi

sorry, this won't be technical but hopefully, you can figure it out and how to avoid it.

the update to the contact DLC breaks i think due to the symlinks created for the exe's by the arma3-unix-launcher. When i tried to launch Arma view either directly in steam or via the arma3-unix-launcher it failed. I had to copy the original exe's from arma3 from my windows pc to my Linux pc to fix it in which the arma3-unix-launcher now also works.

if thats the case is there a way to avoid it like backing up the exe files and restoring them after the launcher exists?

thanks for your great work!

[linux] cannot detect installation folder. possibility to manually set?

arma 3's path is
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Arma 3
and there is no config.vdf that I can find. Is there a way to manually set the path so that I do not have to re-enter it every time?

no quit button

there is a little problem, preventing use of this launcher in tiling window managers without window decoration - the lack of the quit button. I can only kill it with xkill or command line.

Needs to be case insensitive when finding addons

Arma3 proton version launch fails without errors.

Hi i am running the Arma3 proton version (proton v4.11-12)
The game starts fine using the steam interface but...

When i try to use this "arma3-unix-launcher", it won't start the game...
When i start this launcher using --verbose via command-line and closing when nothing happened i noticed these lines:

[2020-02-02 13:52:47] Writing to file /SteamGameLib/<MYUSERNAME>steamapps/common/Arma 3/../../compatdata/107410/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/Arma 3/Arma3.cfg

The problem is IMHO that there is no plain "arma" file inside that directory.
Plus i don't think i have special settings on my Kubuntu 19.10 that allows to launch windows apps via the commandline.

Is there a way you could make this launcher use steam to launch the app instead of trying to launch it directly?

Directory errors and crash

Hello! Thank you very much for this app.

I have just manually compiled master branch, and issue persists.

These are all mods that I have unsubscribed from within the last few weeks. I am not subscribed to any currently.
I noticed the issue only when running the launcher with Steam in offline mode.

I apologize for any lack of oversight.

dependencies missing when installing from AUR package

After running $ yay -S arma3-unix-launcher, waiting for it to finish installing, and then running it from the command line I get this:

[user@machine]: ~>$ arma3-unix-launcher
arma3-unix-launcher: error while loading shared libraries: libpugixml.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This isn't a very high priority issue as i can just install the dependencies separately but this wouldn't be too hard to fix either.

Select Unit feature

Could the select unit option be implemented in the launcher?

Issue from Discord: missing dependency on Debian based distros

" i needed libgtkmm3.0-dev to build your launcher, just in case u want to added it to the instructions smiley"

missing icon and .desktop file

Readme addition (cmake)

Seems you forgot to mention that you also need to install cmake at README.md#debian-package
Otherwise you can't do the step cmake .. 😉
After that it seems to succeed without errors on my Kubuntu 19.10 so far 👍

How to use the launcher?

Video:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1voVYxl8gfjNZYNoTueDZ1i5feiPapuqa/view?usp=sharing

I clicked all of the boxes, and press the button to run Arma 3, but no new mod ,campaign and weapon were added to the game

Mod load order?

Is it possible to specify or see the load order of the mods?

command-line for autostart with config to use?

Is there a command-line to autostart arma3 using an arma3-unix-launcher config file of choice?
This would be very handy to create desktop files with menu entries etc...
Ofcourse this would imply auto-exit of the unix launcher upon exit of the game 😉

Proton launcher looks in $HOME/.steam instead of the library.

Instead of looking at the steam library Arma3 is installed at for compdata it looks at home. My Arma is installed at /media/jason/HDD/SteamLibrary but instead it's looking for the .cfg at /home/jason/.steam

Download mods from workshop

Hi !
I really like your launcher, but even though I subscribed to mods on the Arma 3 workshop, they don't appear in the launcher (see picture for an example).

I really don't know what I should do, am I doing something wrong ? Or is your launcher not intended to do that ?

Best regards

Launcher freezes when game CTD's

When I try using some mod that CTDs me then the launcher freezes and the cpu usage goes up to 25% taking one core for itself.
Kinda annoying since it takes alot of tries to get a mod working on linux unless I'm doing something wrong when spawning units in the editor.

Launcher looking for Steam workshop mods in the wrong location

The launcher did not detect mods installed by the Steam workshop. This is because it looks for workshop mods in /home/$USER/workshop/content/107410, while Steam installs them to /home/$USER/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/workshop/content/107410/. I tried changing this in the launcher config file (/home/$USER/.config/a3unixlauncher/settings.conf), but this is reverted when I then open the launcher.
My workaround for this issue was ln -s /home/$USER/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/workshop/ /home/$USER/workshop

Workshop mods header doesn't stretch along with window size

Im a bit of a noob so may need some help fixing this

Mods that have a version in their name don't get their symlinks updated when they update

Take "CUP Vehicles 1.13.0" for example. If the mod were to update, and the name became "CUP Vehicles 1.13.1", then the launcher updates what's listed appropriately, and the generated Arma3.cfg file has the correct path, but the !Workshop folder symlinks don't update with that name.

At present, every time this happens, I have to manually run arma3-unix-launcher --purge, rerun Arma 3 manually from Steam, and then reopen the launcher to make this work again. Could this be made easier or automatic on a version change?

(arma3-unix-launcher:16984): glibmm-CRITICAL **: 17:15:25.002: Error in inter-thread communication: write() failed: Bad file descriptor
[tacticaltux@tacticaltux-pc ~]$ ```

Symlinking fails if a mod has a / in its name.

When subscribing to ZEC - Zeus and Eden Templates / Building Compositions and opening the Arma3 Unix Launcher, the terminal output throws an error when attempting to symlink this mod:

Symlink creation failed: /home/<my username>/.steam/steam/steamapps/workshop/content/107410/642912021->/home/<my username>/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Arma 3/!workshop/@ZEC - Zeus and Eden Templates / Building Compositions

Although the mod.cpp file (and the launcher's GUI itself) calls the mod "[ZEC] Compositions", the meta.cpp has a larger name with the slash included, which fails the symlink probably because Linux is interpreting the / as a folder.

Launching Arma after selecting this mod just shows blank information since it never actually loaded the mod.

Can't read or write to Arma3.cfg

Just getting the following in terminal output, the Folder "Games" is actually a mounted ssd, how ever I have have set full permissions to read and write, any ideas what I missing?

Support Arma 3 HTML preset files

Would I be possible to load a mod list using a file from the normal Arma 3 launcher, which uses HTML files.

missing hugepages parameter

Incorrect steam install location

Steam no longer installs into ~/.local/share but ~/.steam,
I applied this patch and I believe it found the install of steam, still don't know if it works as there are still issues with the application its self.

Patch:
https://gist.github.com/salamanderrake/aa4e0711b7c3a2460d836baef6bcd7a6

steam integration question

I know it's still on the ToDo list, but does your launcher detect the steam install directory? The launcher keeps requesting arma3.i386 when pointed to the steam install directory.

Valgrind Reports Memory Leak

I just let the valgrind run the program and sadly found that it reports memory leaks. I do not yet know if this is a problem with the program, or Gtk.
I will investigate this further and try to fix the these memory leaks where possible.
Creating this issue simply as information / a reminder.

Custom profile breaks mod loading

Arma3.cfg is stored in different directory

Broken counter when starting launcher

Flatpak support

User requested feature, to be researched

Mod without @, can't find them

The launcher works without problem when detecting Arma 3 and when executing it without mod. But it can't find the mods that I download from WORKSHOP.

Fixes from Discord

Seems muttley's launcher doesnt work with old man cause it has " in the name
Replacing them in the .cfg with ' solved the launching issue
main issue is that the name and dir get
name="@ort "Old Man";

not sure if I'm not running this right but just running it from a build folder does this:

Custom mods are never loaded

No matter what I do, mods selected from their folders which I have downloaded are never loaded by the app.
They're not written into the Arma3.cfg file, but workshop ones are.

This makes the custom mod selection unusable.

Proton: add option to run with 'esync' disabled

As described

launcher ignores Steam's command line options

Need to read logs/connection_log.txt, get userid from there and then read vdf in userdata folder to get params

Startup crash with segfault from steam update (steamwebhelper cmdline starts with null character)

I first experienced the launcher crashing on launch from a segfault after a steam beta update, after rolling back to the stable client the crash stopped. After the beta update became stable, the crash returned. Doing some investigating with gdb, the segfault is in Utils.cpp on line 163, called from MainWindow.cpp line 319. The process it's looking at before crashing is a steamwebhelper zygote process, whose cmdline begins as " /steamwebhelper" (note leading space, in /proc/PID/cmdline it's a null character) and not "./steamwebhelper" like the others. The value "first" then becomes 0x0 instead of the process name when tokenized, which makes strcmp fail, I guess. Closing steam fixes the issue, as does killing the steamwebhelper processes, but neither is a good fix.

#28 might be related.

downloading/installing issues

Since installing it over the ubuntu software installer didnt work, i tried installing it via the source code.
but this error appears:

Err:1 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu disco/main amd64 cmake amd64 3.13.4-1

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

I am rather new to linux and both options the console told me didnt work, please help :(

Arma starts without Mods, even with Mods selected in the unix launcher

there are no mods in the parameter string (checked with htop), nor in the Arma3.cfg
Pls tell me if u need more info

How to instal/setup

I have setup my own linux server. Fully working, but mods dont work no matter what I do. I would like to try this software out. It looks more user friendly. But I cant understand how to get it up and running. Any help would be apreciated.

How to use the launcher on external hard drive?

I installed Arma 3 on a WD element external hard drive because the space in my macbook was not enough , and I have already installed the arma 3 unix launcher successfully. But the launcher does not access to the hard drive, so I can not save any mod file to the arma 3 game file inside the hard drive.

Is there any way, method or code that can enable me to access the launcher to the hard drive?

Arma3.cfg not found

Hello, running Xubuntu 18.10. I am able to launch Arma3, using Proto 4.2-3 (forced).

However, this is the output of ./arma3-unix-launcher --verbose (both as root and not). I think the issue may be related to Proton (the launcher doesn't seem to be detecting that I'm using Proton).

I checked your code, and it seems to look in the compatdata folder for the Arma3.cfg file (which is there and does exist). However, I can't seem to find a branching statement that determines if and where Proton exists.

Proton version

Hello muttleyxd,
Love the launcher for the native version for Linux, Just wondering if its possible to create one for the steam proton version as works good on proton. I did download and build and it couldn't find the Arma3.cfg so I changed file path in Filesystem.cpp to "/Games/steamapps/compatdata/107410/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/Arma 3/"; and the launcher loaded and showed the current mods I have, It also launched the Arma3 proton version but the mods that I ticked in launcher did'nt load. I believe it might be just a simple modification of the file paths in your launcher. Would it be possible for you too look at it and perhaps make a fork for the proton version?
