Antistasi Community 0 Posted June 12, 2018 Hi, I'm not sure how much control BIS has over this but it thought it would be nice if we could download workshop mods without owning arma3. I'm currently trying to automate a dedicated server on a shared box, so no one wants to put their own steam credentials in the scripts. A new steam account lets me download the server, but I can't get the mods because this new account doesn't own the game. Can this issue be solved on Bohemia's end somehow? Do I have other alternatives to keep my mods up to date with steam workshop? Thanks! BobChaos on behalf of the A3-Antistasi Official Community Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProfTournesol 956 Posted June 12, 2018 What's the point downloading mods without having the game ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antistasi Community 0 Posted June 12, 2018 I have the server, you can download it separately from the game without owning the game itself. It's just the server is no use to me without the mods :( We're looking for workarounds but all of them so far either involve sharing our personal account credentials or setting up some external notification system :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Kong 148 Posted June 12, 2018 The problem however with being able to get workshop mods without owning the game, will be that it could help pirates with using mods from the workshop on their illegal copies (not saying that you yourself have one) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As most Arma3 server hosting companies offer the ability to install mods. Unless of course your hosting it yourself, which then you will have to buy another copy of Arma3.

Flax 397 Posted June 13, 2018 You should be fine using any steam login. Just use a steam account that has 2 Factor enabled that way even if someone does try to use your password they can't do it without access to your email address. Failing that just use some of the funds that pays for the server and buy another copy of the base game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antistasi Community 0 Posted June 15, 2018 It would be nice if we could download the mods with the server, or otherwise make the server only available if you own the game for consistency. You guys know of any third party tools I could look into even if the source isn't steam? Otherwise looks like we're going to be buying a copy, it's self-hosted :/ Thanks for your help guys.
