maestro_armero 0 Posted June 15, 2018 Hello, In a dedicated server with Linux and version 1.80 for Ports Compatibility (Linux and Mac), which version of CBA A3 should I use? The CBA A3 3.7.1 is for compatibility with 1.82; the CBA A3 3.6.1 is for 1.80. It means, any upgrade version is able to handle prior server/client versions? So, do I have to update any mod to the latest version, even if I still mantain an older server/client version? Bye and thanks [EDITED and FINAL: well, after a new round of tests, I was able to execute and run missions on my Linux dedicated server 1.80 with CBA_A3 3.7.1 ... I thought that this combination was not possible, but it is. My problems were others. So, yes you may update to CBA_A3 v3.7.1 in a Linux dedicated server 1.80.

Not sure what that should mean? Newer CBA versions don't necessarily work on older Arma versions. 2 hours ago, maestro_armero said: So, do I have to update any mod to the latest version, even if I still mantain an older server/client version? If the latest mod version doesn't work on your older game version. Why would it make sense to update if the mod won't work if you update? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maestro_armero 0 Posted June 15, 2018 Oh my God! I am trying to confirm this simple, not so obvious, fact with the "expert", or do you think that we post in a forum because we don't have other things to do? Well, ... are you trying to say that in a dedicate server 1.80, I should not update to CBA 3.7.1 and stick to 3.6.1? Bye and thank you for so kind help to the newbie community Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CBA 3.7.0 https://github.com/CBATeam/CBA_A3/releases/tag/v3.7.0.180430 Quote Updates for Arma v1.82. ^ It contains Arma 1.82 stuff. 1.80 doesn't have that stuff so it won't work on the old version. You can update if you want. But then your CBA won't work anymore. 2 hours ago, maestro_armero said: I am trying to confirm this simple, not so obvious, fact But you already answered yourself. 6 hours ago, maestro_armero said: The CBA A3 3.7.1 is for compatibility with 1.82; the CBA A3 3.6.1 is for 1.80. Or was that meant as a question? In that case sorry. There wasn't a question mark and the statement was correct. So I didn't expect it to be a question.

maestro_armero 0 Posted June 16, 2018 Many thanks. This last post, is way to help to understand. Yes, confirmed that there is no backward compatibility between 3.7.1 and 3.6.1 in CBA (carefull programmers think about these sort of things and sometimes they care to implement them) ... Now, yes, I am answering my own questions: "1.80 dedicated servers must stick with CBA 3.6.1 and do not proceed to update to CBA 3.7.1" Yesterday night with the -showScriptErrors when launching arma 2 with 3.7.1, it was demanding something related with "tanks".
