zozo 104 Posted December 17, 2019 Update 14-04-2020: today we have released the 1.98 update for Arma 3, which brings the Old Man scenario to the vanilla platform (loaded by default). We will soon be emptying the Steam Workshop item and leaving it as deprecated just for historical context. You are recommended to unsubscribe from the item already, or at least to not load it into the game. We also recommend starting a fresh play session, instead of continuing from any old save. There have been many improvements and fixes, often thanks to your feedback. Kudos to all of you for sharing your thoughts with us. We will of course still be reading this thread for potential improvements in the future 👴 Original post: Hi community! As you may have seen from our announcement, we have today published the Bohemia Incubator beta version of Arma 3 Apex: Old Man to Steam Workshop. We've taken a bit of a different approach due to the nature of this experimental singleplayer open-world scenario. Anyone on Arma 3's main branch can subscribe to the item for free, however you will need to own Arma 3 Apex, since the scenario takes places on Tanoa. During the coming weeks we will be eagerly reading your feedback and evaluating whether we can add Old Man to the vanilla platform in 2020. The data is distributed under the APL-SA license, so that community developers can explore and possibly extend it for their own creations. This also means we will not be using encrypted EBO files now or later. Note that some of the extra platform additions, such as the static M2 .50 MG, will quite likely be added in Arma 3 update 1.98 regardless. Check out the full announcement for all the details! How to play the scenario? Subscribe to the Workshop item. Wait for your Steam client to download and install the data. Start the Arma 3 official Launcher (using main branch). Visit the MODS tab. Load Arma 3 Apex: Old Man (Beta). Press PLAY to launch the game. In the game's main menu, go to SINGLEPLAYER > SCENARIOS. Select Old Man and press PLAY. Known issues? This beta version is still a work-in-progress, so please consider whether you want to jump in now or rather wait for a later version. When we inevitably update the scenario with fixes, older (mid-scenario) saves may no longer load. Unfortunately there is no way around this. Consider making a local back-up copy of the 'mod' files in order to finish a play-through (more details here) ⚠️ While we've set up the data for eventual later integration into the platform, note that some details may have to change. We don't recommend to base your own content or mods on specific class names or file paths yet for example. Most of Old Man is not yet localized, although we do have translations in progress. Various English texts may still see iterations. Where to share feedback? Here! Please use the spoiler widget when discussing plot points. You can post concrete issues with reproduction methods to Feedback Tracker. And the Workshop item itself also has several pinned discussions for various types of feedback. Thanks a lot for your input. Have fun! 15 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asaayu 43 Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) I will edit this post with bugs/issues/feedback that I find while playing. The text under the pictures when mousing over markers on the map is very hard to read, could it be possible to increase the size of the text?https://gyazo.com/2985e0fffca9d138441e264fc512634a First

FlameTower 0 Posted December 17, 2019 I think there should be an option that allows allows you to turn on manual saving, or auto saves should be more frequent. i hit a small rock and my car randomly flew up into the air, and now i have to replay 1.5 hours of the scenario. edit: after playing a bit more i realized that the game auto saves enough but it only saves the last one. it should save at least the last 3 so you can go back to before everything is messed up. Some of the variables don't show up properly: https://gyazo.com/b48c70f54f3e8a1adb40eb37e5df64ff French characters don't show up and leave a blank space Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slowrider8 41 Posted December 18, 2019 I'm on the investigate camp mission and I'm having some issues with the first objective: Spoiler I'm trying to gather evidence and I've taken photographs of the whiteboard, the bodybags and the bloodstains. The only other obvious item is a pair of hazardous waste bags in the field, however I can not get any input prompt to show up from looking at them at any angle. Is this a bug (and can anyone else reproduce it), or is it not actually evidence and I'm missing something else? I have restarted from a save multiple times and it still does not work.

slowrider8 41 Posted December 18, 2019 Another thing to add, it would be nice to have some more feedback or maybe just some written information about what the player is or is not allowed to do around authority. Standing in-front of a gendarmerie, I had a combat vest on and they did not seem to be bothered (do they care about your clothes/armor at all?), however the second I opened my inventory he yelled to drop my weapon although I was not holding one (I did have weapons in my inventory including grenades). I proceeded to drop all my weapons and as I was doing so I was shot on the spot. Another time I was driving up to a convoy of CSAT vehicles that seemed to have stopped for repairs, I attempted to drive past but CSAT were standing in the road and got a little close to the car. They suddenly yelled to stop and get out the vehicle and then surrounded me with weapons drawn, but seeming to do nothing past this. I was then shot immediately when attempting to move. I don't really know what I did wrong and it wasn't really communicated to me through the gameplay much at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They give you one the Hints ("H" key by default) about how to not show yourself as a threat while near enemy units. Having weapons, wearing military uniforms, or getting too close to enemy units can set them off. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mandastan 0 Posted December 18, 2019 This may seem like an incredibly basic question, as I don't play much Arma - but what do I need to bind controls to in order to be able to skip time?

Rydygier 1309 Posted December 18, 2019 Just started, so initial things for now, as they appear. First - I love this type of gameplay, so I'm truly happy, we got official, dynamic playable content dedicated specifically for singleplayer. Thank you very much! For now I'm still standing, where player starts. So far I like the plot's foundations and how they are given. Pleasantly personal, no hectic rush, player isn't dragged anywhere in hurry, has time to familiarize, immerse, decide course of action - great. One serious problem I see at this point is, what I kinda expected, this weird game design compulsion to enforce on player blocking free game saves - the button is gone from the menu. Whatever purpose lies behind, I strongly recommend to leave at least the option to enable free saving for the player's decision. There was whole games, I abandoned just because this flaw alone, it is highly frustrating, when player is forced to waste his time and nerves by repeating again and again a portion of gameplay because it's easy to die/fail and no option to save. In the case of Old Man, I feel motivated enough to continue, but since I don't want to spoil the fun by the lack of free saving, I intend to use/prepare a mod, that will give me free saving option, so I'll get at least single slot free save functionality equivalent. I hope, that will not break the mission design. Nitpicking: - in the intro, at some point player gets two chains of text on screen simultanously: lines of general introduction and small, white text as subtitles of some conversation going on in the background. Probably not a problem for the native speakers, but for guys like me it is a struggle trying to follow both in the same time. I lost some information here being unable to follow two sentences at once. - in the custom map GUI element "MESSENGER" doesn't fit single line, last "R" is moved into second line: Spoiler That's it for now, thanks again, great Christmas gift. 🙂 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krzychuzokecia 717 Posted December 18, 2019 Various issues I encountered: 1. Intro text, final line is not displayed properly on 5:4 screens. 2. Messed up formatting in Relations hint. 3. Civilian trying to walk through aid bags in IDAP camp. 4. Missing stringtable in Sleeping hint #1. 5. Mysterious CONTROL1 and CONTROL2 in hints Skipping time and Sleeping #2. 6. Checkpoint drone wil crash through bigger vehicles. Spoiler 7. Radio news about outbreak in Galili village was not played for me for the first time - I only heard news jingle, and got diary update notification. Next time I heard the news, I got three things at once - Galili, something about Horizon Islands president, and blurb about convoy hit by IED. 8. While in Harcourt, trying to find another clue - I found rather obvious CSAT base in harbour, got diary update, saw containers with Big Pharma logo and guys in HAZMAT suits. However the task is still active, and I got no call from Miller The Killer. Am I supposed to raid this location? Also - a lot of the props (objects, uniforms) used in this scenario come from Enoch update. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that Enoch stuff is downloaded only for Contact DLC owners, and just split from Contact, due to experimental nature of First Contact campaign itself?

Rydygier 1309 Posted December 18, 2019 Quote a lot of the props (objects, uniforms) used in this scenario come from Enoch update. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that Enoch stuff is downloaded only for Contact DLC owners, and just split from Contact, due to experimental nature of First Contact campaign itself? If so, what will see people without Contact/Enoch DLC? I'm using Contact DLC props/not-for-player-usage-stuff in my vanilla scenario without issues (I do not own this DLC myself). 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rydygier 1309 Posted December 18, 2019 Am I supposed to hide from OPFOR? I assumed, I'm civilian free to be there, also I wasn't attacked by them when riding close to the base, I started at, but here: Spoiler Was standing some police officer. I accidentally stopped there, after a while he shouted "stop" and went prone. I got out of my car, then he stood up back, said all's clear, but after another while he aimed at me, shouted about new contact and killed me, no idea, why, during "after death" shot I saw him shooting at my car too.

krzychuzokecia 717 Posted December 18, 2019 Having GPS on is really helpful to understand wanted effect. To put it simple - when cops/soldiers start shouting at you, just back away. Don't stay there, don't get out of vehicle, don't move forward - move back. On map (or GPS) you'll see that there's a red overlay, and the longer you're near the enemy, the more red map becomes. At some point they will shoot you. When you back out, red overlay disappears, and so is your heat/wanted level. Some more issues: 1. When I got into my first firefight with CSAT, I encountered following error: Sound OM_QRF_CSAT_report_Soldier_A_03_Chinese05_Processed not found. 2. Cars seems to have higher than regular Arma fuel consumption. Honestly, I think it's a little bit too high - with the starting car (red pickup) I barely made it to Vagalala (first Ensemble quest, second quest total), and had to ditch it because of empty tank. Either lower the fuel consumption, or add possibility to tank cars from jerry cans? Spoiler 3. West of the Santiago's house, north of Miller's first camp, east of Ensemble laptop-in-a-warehouse there's a small village apparently targeted by Ensemble - the I'm a traitor place. In here there are a few loot items spawned, including 400 dollars. After I took this money, it spawned for me second time, when I drove through this place. I'm afraid the same may happen to other loot in the village - including Chinese assault rifle. 4. In Arsenal there are now two variants of Gendarmerie uniforms each - OPFOR and BLUFOR. IIRC in case of vanilla A3 FIA uniforms there are also B/O/I variants, but only BLUFOR are visible in Arsenal. It may be a good idea to do the same with new Gendarmerie uniforms. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fuel consumption is pretty unreasonable, I only got a few kilometers on a tank of fuel. You need to buy fuel at the fuel station, and it cost me $100. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
