Formula too complex

PreviousSignature Validation Timeout

Last updated 9 days ago

This indicates that DayZ has rejected the compiled PBO because the string obfuscation has made the code too complex. While the exact limit isnโ€™t documented, this typically happens when too many strings are obfuscated in a single file.

How to Resolve the Error:

Obfuscate Your Mod: Start by running your mod through PBO Tools with string obfuscation enabled.

Re-run Without Obfuscation: Take the output folder from the first step and run it through PBO Tools againโ€”this time with string obfuscation turned off. This will help reveal the correct file paths and error messages during packing.

Identify the Problem Line: Look at the error message to find the specific line number triggering the "Formula Too Complex" error.

Add //dontobf Comment: Once you find the problematic line, add //dontobf to the end of it. This tells PBO Tools to exclude that line from string obfuscation.

Repeat as Needed: Continue the process: re-run the mod, identify new problem lines, and add //dontobf until the error no longer appears.
