pettka 694 Posted June 6, 2016 We have just released over 100 km2 of Pacific archipelago we call Tanoa to the Dev-Branch for all Arma 3 Apex owners. The version is still work-in-progress, please, be gentle on the green hell that has been just unleashed :icon_twisted: Please, keep in mind that the version is still unfinished and spread the word when taking screenshots / videos / streaming, otherwise enjoying the environment. Still, we are looking forward to your feedback. Consider verifying Steam cache and defragmenting HDD (not needed for SSD) before you try the islands. Last but not least, have fun on Tanoa, our team has spent quite a lot of time preparing it, enjoy it to the fullest :icon_twisted: Known issue: Steam is not yet correctly distributing the Tanoa data to all players, and it may also falsely claim you don't own Apex yet. This is being investigated with Valve, so we must ask for a little more patience for this Dev-Branch staging.

pettka 694 Posted June 6, 2016 I got the Apex DLC in steam and turned to the DEV Version but how does it know that I have the DLC ? because its not installed at all and there is only a 1,3 gb update There may be possibly some licensing issues in the beginning, our Steam Support team should be ready to investigate. I'm sorry if there are problems blocking You from getting into Tanoa, we'll try to sort it as soon as possible. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sorry if there are problems blocking You from getting into Tanoa, we'll try to sort it as soon as possible. Yep, I had a go with one Arma 3 installation updated using the Game Updater and it didn't recognise I already pre-purchased Apex. So I wasn't able to access Tanoa. Trying to switch to Dev with my regular install now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 6, 2016 Same for me, I got the "purchase" button instead of "continue" when choosing the map. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alwarren 2767 Posted June 6, 2016 Same for me, I got the "purchase" button instead of "continue" when choosing the map. Even worse, I have a "continue" button which takes me right back to the desktop :| Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pettka 694 Posted June 6, 2016 Even worse, I have a "continue" button which takes me right back to the desktop :| Could You, please, take a look if You have downloaded the whole update? It should be roughly 6 GB for Apex owners, 1.6 GB for non-owners. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alwarren 2767 Posted June 6, 2016 Could You, please, take a look if You have downloaded the whole update? It should be roughly 6 GB for Apex owners, 1.6 GB for non-owners. Yeah, it was only 1.6 GB. I tried with the Updater tool first, now I have switched my standard installation to dev branch, but still only 1.2 gb download EDIT: Now I have a "purchase" button.

This may be the cause, it seems like Your Steam app didn't download the proper data yet. I know how harsh that sounds, but could You, possibly, wait a while? Huge downloads may take some time for Steam to process :icon_evil: 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CallMehTOMMEH 126 Posted June 6, 2016 Same issue here I'm afraid, I think it will just take patience guys. This looks like a Steam back-end issue with licensing for DLC content. Hold tight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dunedain 48 Posted June 6, 2016 Can't try it either it only links me the option to purchase, while of course I pre ordered Apex as soon as it was available. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainObvious 95 Posted June 6, 2016 The map layout looks quite nice, lots of reasonable sized islands and plenty of elevation, damn it's hard to wait to get there! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
