Fall from sky Hacker Fix

[Mangled 10]

There is a simple fix to this issue but be aware that if anyone else joins the server again with the corrupt file it will affect everyone. In which you must repeat this process.

Firstly, you must enable hidden files to show. Go into your folder properties and enable this setting.

Secondly, go to c:\users\"your computer name"\app data\local\arma 3 alpha\ and remove all the content within the folder.

Arma 3 caches in all the files from clients and server to this directory. It will not affect your game or your profile by removing the content. Follow these steps and your game will work normally again.

Servers and clients affected by the corrupted data will have to do the same.

All you had to do was close Arma and relaunch it :) No need to delete anything

It's also fixed now in the latest Dev build, stable version will be patched next week.

Wait so the "BIS_fnc...." hack is fixed and the patch is being rolled out next week? Do you mind if I ask you how you know this or ask you to site your sources for this info?

I had the same problem today i simply deleted the most recent file which was Arma3Alpha.cfg and everything was fine then..

WHY DO I HAVE TO RESORT TO BOLD ALLCAPS

the solution is not this, this is just errant speculation.

The trusted, well known solution to disinfect a client, is to restart the client

nothing more

the fact that exiting out of the game, deleting a file, starting back up, is essentially the same thing, but you're deleting random crap that has no relation whatsoever.

Restarted client, and still have the issue ? What files need removing.

Use dev branch until default branch gets updated.

In steam games list right-click on ArmA3-->Properties-->Betas then select "developement - Developement Build" in the dropdown menu.
