Nope, 4 years, 7 months, 27 days since Alpha. Minus 5 months 29 days from that since v1.00.

 

If you want some random analytics:
If you look at the time between the release date and the expansion release for previous titles, the average percent of games time-to-sequel that the expansion was released on for each is around 27% of time-to-sequel.

Considering when APEX was released, Arma 4 is looks like to have a average release date of around April 7, 2025, and the best case (33% of time-to-sequel) is February 20, 2023.

So it looks like Arma 3 might end up to be 10 years old until the next sequel. Average time between titles is around 4 years (and we're already past that point :P) and longest case so far is 5 years, 7 months (OFP to A1. If you read between the lines of various official communication, it's a record that is probably going to be broken).

 

But then again, lumps of salt, it's only 3 data points. 

 

games in general are becoming larger and more complex, its no surprise that production time is increasing

No update due to technical issues.

 

Haha @bis_iceman...

 

well played :) Did the bohemia kitten chew your cables? 

 

Here's hoping to a devbranch update later today so my weekend has purpose :)

 

You can do it BI!

[Tankbuster 1746]

If only my predictions on the lottery were as reliable!

[das attorney 858]

Bet you're glad you didn't bet on this one either!  ;)

 

Nice Friday changelog there BI  :)

[TrueCruel_Nobody 35]

Now that BE Port is default at 2306, can it be changed otherwise? I am currently using 2306 for my RCON connection.

 

It wouldn't be an issue to change the rcon port, just curious if the BE port is changeable.

[Strike_NOR 898]

Thanks for the update!

 

I like the subtle hints in the changelog.. Damaged wheels and tracks animation sources. Yummy :D

[lexx 1363]

Are there any news about the "tracked vehicle waypoint issue" thingy I wrote about earlier? I'm worried that it might hit stable.

this is not BE RCON port, it's BE's own traffic port

 

BE RCON stays -1 (2301 default)

BE traffic from today's DEV branch onward gets +4 (2306 default)

 

the reason is get rid of some those time-outs, mass kicks and other stalls

so if someone of you running those 100+ player servers and getting those, it's time to test at some point vs DEV branch or at least RC when it comes

Glad that time doesn't fly quite as quickly as I feared. :)

ArmA II was released in may 2009 and I used to play it untill 2016 until the server popilation began to stall.... it's barely populated now.

ArmA: Armed Assault was released in 2006. So the ARMA series, if you dont include OFP, is 11 years old.

Two missions, both on Altis.

Mission 1: https://pastebin.com/skqy1L4A

Mission 2: https://pastebin.com/eys4gtRw

 

Both on latest dev-branch, no mods running. In the first mission, the Kamsyh will wobble a little bit on the spot, then stop. In the second mission, the Slammer needs quite a lot time just to start up the engine, remains idle on the spot, then shuts down the engine again after a while.

I can provide a third case if necessary.

Thanks for the missions.
In the first mission the Kamysh did wobble for a sec, but drove away. How often does it happen? I tried 3x.
In the second mission the WPs are too close to the Slammer so the AI is able to complete them without moving. You can try https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setDriveOnPath for such situations.

[lexx 1363]

Happens every single time. :/ I've also had reports of at least one other person a while ago.

 

Here is another one, also on Altis:

https://pastebin.com/D1imXzB0

 

First vehicle will drive to his first waypoint, then stop. Then the second vehicle starts and goes until he has reached his second waypoint, then he stops as well.

On current stable branch this works without issues.

 

I wanted to record a video, but NVIDIA decided to make their video recording software retarded, so it doesn't really work anymore.

/Edit: Got it to work.

 

 

 

As far as I am aware, this happens since the tracked vehicle overhaul started. Wheeled vehicles are still working as before.

Just tried it here, works for me. The only annoyance I have is that it keeps logging me out.

[AveryTheKitty 2626]

That changelog though!

 

I should've stayed home today... Only 6 painful hours of school left now. :(

same problem

 

[bars91 956]

Unfortunately not the first time this happens - one might think BI would prevent stuff like this based on previous DLC/expansion dev-branch test releases.

 

Buuut still - better dev branch then stable I guess )

Added: Basic Civilian Behavior module (enhances civilian behavior during combat scenes, and improves performance by using agent entities) 

Finally! This should be a great addition :D

Are you still experiencing the issue? Sometimes it may take some time for the Steam licenses to propagate, but our Publishing experts are telling us it should be good to go now.
