Flash-Ranger 195 Posted July 24, 2016 Hi all. Has BIS changed its politic ??? All addons have always been in PBO... Since OFP ! Then why can't we extract the addons and missions in the \Arma 3\Expansion\ folder ??? They are in EBO extension ... Why BIS, why ? Has money driven you into encrypting addons now ???? If someone can tell me I'm wrong it would be a great relief ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lato190 55 Posted July 24, 2016 you need to wait, they will convert them to pbo from time to time. the DLC (marksmen & helicopter) were EBO aswell but they changed it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richie 330 Posted July 24, 2016 Just while the expansion is new, Stratis and Alstis were the same, they will be unencrypted soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jackal326 1182 Posted July 24, 2016 Why BIS, why ? Has money driven you into encrypting addons now ???? I think the term I'm looking for here is, "common sense". As stated above, all DLCs (and expansion) content in the first few months after release are encrypted. The ins and outs of it and the technical aspect of how they work I'll leave for someone more knowledgeable than me to explain, but its sensible practise to stop newly released content from being unpacked and potentially redistributed/modified/tampered with. Yes its a setback for those of us within the community wishing to learn from the content; be it from tweaking missions to editing textures. It is however a sensible move on BI's part to maintain a level of exclusivity on the new equipment, at least for a short while. It is only a matter of time before the content is unlocked and the slew of shit questionable quality retextures can commence... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're also protecting their assets, people ripped and ported ArmA3 content pretty much within days of release. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chortles 263 Posted July 24, 2016 Although others have answered to your satisfaction, my recollection is that in the prior games FADE DRM was implemented upon release and then lifted in the months thereafter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
