unable to get third person view enabled.

[WDmello]

Tried changing this various different fields , would like to know if this can be changed or let the in game mode allow the toggle for third person view.

Sounds like you need to edit your Server Difficulty profile. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/server.armaprofile thirdPersonView = 0; // 3rd person view (0 = disabled, 1 = enabled, 2 = enabled for vehicles only (Since Arma 3 v1.99))

[WDmello]

already has thirdPersonView = 1 in place but something else takes over with the inbuilt version it says the server has it disabled.

This is the server options for loadout ./arma3server_x64 -config=server.cfg -filePatching -profiles=~/arma3server/apex.Arma3Profile -servermod=@apex -loadMissionToMemory

Are you certain the profile file is being found and loaded?

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Startup_Parameters According to docs, the -profiles= parameter has no meaning on linux, and also can only specify the parent directory containing profile subdirectories, not the arma3profile file itself. I haven't hosted an arma server on linux before, but try checking for a subdirectory within ~/.local/share/Arma 3 - Other Profiles/ and if one exists, the difficulty file should presumably be placed at ~/.local/share/Arma 3 - Other Profiles/<name>/<name>.Arma3Profile.

(though server.armaprofile says it would be in a subdirectory of the arma server installation, in contradiction to the previous advice)

well after a lot trial and error, I figured it out, I went to the /home/servername/.local/share/Arma 3 - Other Profiles path checked for the profile that was being used and replaced the contents of the existing file to the one shared here, and it worked. Thanks a bunch.
