I just have a question - by any chance would anyone have any idea as to why our team's Linux dedicated server wouldn't be able to launch the expansion ?

There seems to be an issue with the Linux server stuff right now. It's under investigation.

Same problem here with Linux Dedicated Server.

 

Following error on start:
Error: can't resize AutoArray to negative size!

 

And then it crashs.

Hi, Lexx congrats on the release. I'm having a blast with the extraction scenerio.

Got a couple of question here is you dont mind.

 

- Can we save a MP coop extraction game ? Last night we we're pretty much halfway of the evidence and I couln't save and it didn't on a restart. And when I started a multiplayer extraction it actually erased my single player save.

 

- Is there a possibility to add AI in a coop game. Like 2 player + 3 ai to complete the squad (extraction mode)?

 

 

 

Thanks !

Sadly saving the scenario in multiplayer is not an easy thing to do. Arma doesn't really like it - in order to prevent a boatload of bugs, we decided to disable it. That said, the scenario can be finished in ~4 to 5 hours, so it normally should not be a too big of a deal.

 

Adding AI to the coop version is sadly also not that simple (from a design point of view). Right now I wouldn't bet on a feature like that.

@lexx

 

I just wanted to say I got the CDLC last night, and checked it out for a hour or so, it looks really good. Thanks to you, and your team for all the hard work to bring us some cool new content.

 

If I have the time, I may make a little mission with this, and maybe even a short Dakar style race scenario.

@lexx thanks very much for a great cDLC! I don’t really play missions, I just purchase content for the assets, and the assets in this are great. The map is fantastic, really captures a baked and desolate feel. I wouldn’t want to live there. Really liking all the new uniforms, particularly the civilian stuff. And the camels are easily the best and most detailed animals ever seen in Arma. Maybe my Arma priorities are all wrong… 
 

My only issue is with the sound on the map: there’s a constant quite loud wind noise even when the wind speed is 0. 
 

Thanks again

If you enable the debug console (there are mods for that on the workshop), you can use enableSaving true to save your progress in a multiplayer instance of Extraction. However, as Mr. Lexx kindly pointed out, this may wreck havoc upon the mission.

Gotta ask, how does one offload any files that were scavenged off of bodies, in order to gain the intelligence from them? Is that an automatic process or do I need to interact with anything?

Take them back to base and you'll get an action inside the tent.

Does anyone know how to hire a demo specialist? 

Spoiler

I'm doing the side mission to demine a village but I can't defuse anything because no one is a demo specialist.

 

Sorry, never mind, key bindings were changed a while ago.............

That's the thing. I don't. The only actions inside the tent are to play video and hire additional contractors. I walk to the "Gathered Intel" bench and there's no actions or anything interactive there.

You need to have collected intel in your inventory for it to work.

Which I do. Two files, stored in my vest.

Not sure then, sorry. With intel in my inventory I just walk towards the main tent and the hold-action shows up. You might just need to save and reload, or maybe switch units.

So even I was home very late from work last night I could not resist to give it a test  🙂

 

+ a map that absolutely feels like it was made officially by BI, very authentic and very detailed 
+ dromedaries...even if it is a running joke, they add so much to the authentic feel...BI should learn from this
+ very good Arma 3 timeline lore and factions
+ some very nice new toys like ballistic shields and armed drones
+ a very well made SP/COOP scenario
+ adds a lot to the Arma Sandbox for mission makers etc.

+ cool new rifle

- ( this is more a personal one) the ION faction could be fleshed out a bit more with more different outfits and vehicles ..why not adding the black vans or the ION little bird that allready exists 🙂  The new outfits with the red and white shirt are looking very cool...a few more variations would be nice. Also incorporating the existing ION shirts from the base game in different colours, instead of using black or white shirts or FIA outfits. 

 

Very  nice work..I would love to see more such dlc's adding to the Arma3 timeline and sandbox...especially for such a good price  !!!

I posted this in discord as I'm just playing in Sandbox mode offline and online coop with others, but I really WANT the following as a followup:

 

Pyramid objects

Underground tomb and tunnels objects

Casinos like Monte Carlo or just the roulette and blackjack tables, with a nice bar and good looking chairs.

James Bond white tuxedo outfit

Aston Martin - any year, all beautiful...

 

Any free soundtrack similar to a modern action version of The Mummy, Lawrence of Arabia, or Indiana Jones type adventure music... I really don't like all the techno only riffs for this setting... Need something more regional...

 

Maybe I should learn sketchup...

And two pissed up female soldiers....

 

Now...

 

Seriously. Outstanding quality. I'm enjoying the SP mission a lot. Can anyone confirm  a problem with the "zasleh" proxy of the CSAT marid???

 

In my computer it doesn't look right

Great addition, I was really looking forward to the desert. Would recommend for those who miss Takistan. A question and a request, can we get within the framework of this add-on, something like Takistan with access to the sea, that would be very cool!
